In this raw backyard recording, I revisit season one of the show and the journey that unfolded as I unapologetically led with desire. What started as moments of “cringe” listening back, turned into a deep celebration of self-trust, erotic aliveness, and the art of letting life be mystery-led. I share how living on the Big Island opened me back into my feminine, how a fated encounter with Tejas (Sanskrit for “fire”) awakened a new chapter of reclamation, and how learning to walk with desire—without guaranteed outcomes—has shaped the leadership and intimacy I now embody. This episode is an invitation into the dance of feminine flow and masculine structure, of self-trust as the foundation for orgasmic aliveness, and of sovereignty as an identity that transcends the boxes the world projects onto us. If you're ready to remember your essence, reclaim your power, and live life as art—this conversation is for you.

For many women, sex feels like something to get through—another duty to manage, another expectation to meet. And yet, the more we pressure ourselves to “fix” our difficulty with desire, the more elusive it becomes. This is because desire cannot be manufactured. It will never come from obligation, attempts to appease, or from sheer willpower. It only thrives in freedom—when we feel true to ourselves, at ease in our own skin, and at peace with how we are showing up in our lives. In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife unpacks why women so often struggle with desire and and what they can do to cultivate a sexual relationship that feels alive and worth wanting.

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick talk about why desire in recovery from addiction isn’t something you can measure or force and what that means for caregivers. They get into the struggles of supporting someone who might not always feel ready to change and why expecting constant motivation can lead to frustration. Drawing from what they’ve learned in their own recovery, they talk about how to stay supportive without overstepping, handle your own expectations, and keep your relationship healthy while your loved one navigates the ups and downs. This episode is packed with practical advice and reassurance for anyone walking alongside someone in recovery. Resources You can find us on X and Instagram: @sobriety_pod.

Their third album, “Desire!,” came out earlier this year, and it’s moody, atmospheric, at-times unnerving, and gorgeous. I love it. They joined me outside Tacos El Tio in Oak Park (1115 Lake Street) for a conversation about their history, “Desire,” and the incredibly spooky place where the album was recorded.

The Secret History of Gold comes out this week. Here for your viewing pleasure is a fim about gold based on the first chapter.“Gold will be slave or master”HoraceIn 2021, a metal detectorist with the eyebrow-raising name of Ole Ginnerup Schytz dug up a hoard of Viking gold in a field in Denmark. The gold was just as it was when it was buried 1,500 years before, if a little dirtier. The same goes for the jewellery unearthed at the Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria in 1972. The beads, bracelets, rings and necklaces are as good as when they were buried 6,700 years ago.In the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, there is a golden tooth bridge — a gold wire used to bind teeth and dental implants — made over 4,000 years ago. It could go in your mouth today.No other substance is as long-lasting as gold — not diamonds, not tungsten carbide, not boron nitride. Gold does not corrode; it does not tarnish or decay; it does not break down over time. This sets it apart from every other substance. Iron rusts, wood rots, silver tarnishes. Gold never changes. Left alone, it stays itself. And it never loses its shine — how about that?Despite its permanence, you can shape this enormously ductile metal into pretty much anything. An ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long or plate a copper wire 1,000 miles long. It can be beaten into a leaf just one atom thick. Yet there is one thing you cannot do and that is destroy it. Life may be temporary, but gold is permanent. It really is forever.This means that all the gold that has ever been mined, estimated to be 216,000 tonnes, still exists somewhere. Put together it would fit into a cube with 22-metre sides. Visualise a square building seven storeys high — and that would be all the gold ever.With some effort, you can dissolve gold in certain chemical solutions, alloy it with other metals, or even vaporise it. But the gold will always be there. It is theoretically possible to destroy gold through nuclear reactions and other such extreme methods, but in practical terms, gold is indestructible. It is the closest thing we have on earth to immortality.Perhaps that is why almost every ancient culture we know of associated gold with the eternal. The Egyptians believed the flesh of gods was made of gold, and that it gave you safe passage into the afterlife. In Greek myth, the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, which Hercules was sent to retrieve, conferred immortality on whoever ate them. The South Americans saw gold as the link between humanity and the cosmos. They were not far wrong.Gold was present in the dust that formed the solar system. It sits in the earth's crust today, just as it did when our planet was formed some 4.6 billion years ago. That little bit of gold you may be wearing on your finger or around your neck is actually older than the earth itself. In fact, it is older than the solar system. To touch gold is as close as you will ever come to touching eternity.And yet the world's most famous investor is not impressed.‘It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or some place,' said Warren Buffett. ‘Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.'He's right. Gold does nothing. It does not even pay a yield. It just sits there inert. We use other metals to construct things, cut things or conduct things, but gold's industrial uses are minimal. It is a good conductor of electricity, but copper and silver are better and cheaper. It has some use in dentistry, medical applications and nanotechnology. It is finding more and more use in outer space — back whence it came — where it is used to coat spacecraft, astronauts' visors and heat shields. But, in the grand scheme of things, these uses are paltry.Gold's only purpose is to store and display prosperity. It is dense and tangible wealth: pure money.Though you may not realise it, we still use gold as money today. Not so much as a medium to exchange value but store it.In 1970, about 27 per cent of all the gold in the world was in the form of gold coinage and central bank or government reserves. Today, even with the gold standard long since dead, the percentage is about the same.The most powerful nation on earth, the United States, keeps 70 per cent of its foreign exchange holdings in gold. Its great rival, China, is both the world's largest producer and the world's largest importer. It has built up reserves that, as we shall discover, are likely as great as the USA's. If you buying gold or silver coins to protect yourself in these “interesting times” - and I urge you to - as always I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Ordinary people and institutions the world over use gold to store wealth. Across myriad cultures gold is gifted at landmark life events — births and weddings — because of its intrinsic value.In fact, gold's purchasing power has increased over the millennia, as human beings have grown more productive. The same ounce of gold said by economic historians to have bought King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon 350 loaves of bread could buy you more than 1,000 loaves today. The same gold dinar (roughly 1/7 oz) that, in the time of the Koran in the seventh century, bought you a lamb would buy you three lambs today. Those same four or five aurei (1 oz) which bought you a fine linen tunic in ancient Rome would buy you considerably more clothing today.In 1972, 0.07 ounces of gold would buy you a barrel of oil. Here we are in 2024 and a barrel of oil costs 0.02 ounces of gold — it's significantly cheaper than it was fifty years ago.House prices, too, if you measure them in gold, have stayed constant. It is only when they are measured in fiat currency that they have appreciated so relentlessly (and destructively).In other words, an ounce of gold buys you as much, and sometimes more, food, clothing, energy and shelter as it did ten years ago, a hundred years ago or even thousands of years ago. As gold lasts, so does its purchasing power. You cannot say the same about modern national currencies.Rare and expensive to mine, the supply of gold is constrained. This is in stark contrast to modern money — electronic, debt-based fiat money to give it its full name — the supply of which multiplies every year as governments spend and borrowing balloons.As if by Natural Law, gold supply has increased at the same rate as the global population — roughly 2 per cent per annum. The population of the world has slightly more than doubled since 1850. So has gold supply. The correlation has held for centuries, except for one fifty-year period during the gold rushes of the late nineteenth century, when gold supply per capita increased.Gold has the added attraction of being beautiful. It shines and glistens and sparkles. It captivates and allures. The word ‘gold' derives from the Sanskrit ‘jval', meaning ‘to shine'. That's why we use it as jewellery — to show off our wealth and success, as well as to store it. Indeed, in nomadic prehistory, and still in parts of the world today, carrying your wealth on your person as jewellery was the safest way to keep it.The universe has given us this captivatingly beautiful, dense, inert, malleable, scarce, useless and permanent substance whose only use is to be money. To quote historian Peter Bernstein, ‘nothing is as useless and useful all at the same time'.But after thousands of years of gold being official money, in the early twentieth century there was a seismic shift. Neither the British, German nor French government had enough gold to pay for the First World War. They abandoned gold backing to print the money they needed. In the inter-war years, nations briefly attempted a return to gold standards, but they failed. The two prevailing monetary theories clashed: gold-backed versus state-issued currency. Gold standard advocates, such as Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, considered gold to be one of the key pillars of a free society along with property rights and habeas corpus. ‘We have gold because we cannot trust governments,' said President Herbert Hoover in 1933. This was a sentiment echoed by one of the founders of the London School of Economics, George Bernard Shaw — to whom I am grateful for demonstrating that it is possible to have a career as both a comedian and a financial writer. ‘You have to choose (as a voter),' he said, ‘between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government… I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.'On the other hand, many, such as economist John Maynard Keynes, advocated the idea of fiat currency to give government greater control over the economy and the ability to manipulate the money supply. Keynes put fixation with gold in the Freudian realms of sex and religion. The gold standard, he famously said after the First World War — and rightly, as it turned out — was ‘already a barbarous relic'. Freud himself related fascination with gold to the erotic fantasies and interests of early childhood.Needless to say, Keynes and fiat money prevailed. By the end of the 1930s, most of Europe had left the gold standard. The US followed, but not completely until 1971, in order to meet the ballooning costs of its welfare system and its war in Vietnam.But compare both gold's universality (everyone everywhere knows gold has value) and its purchasing power to national currencies and you have to wonder why we don't use it officially today. There is a very good reason: power.Sticking to the discipline of the gold standard means governments can't just create money or run deficits to the same extent. Instead, they have to rein in their spending, which they are not prepared to do, especially in the twenty-first century, when they make so many promises to win elections. Balanced books, let alone independent money, have become an impossibility. If you seek an answer as to why the state has grown so large in the West, look no further than our system of money. When one body in a society has the power to create money at no cost to itself, it is inevitable that that body will grow disproportionately large. So it is in the twenty-first century, where state spending in many social democracies is now not far off 50 per cent of GDP, sometimes higher.Many arguments about gold will quickly slide into a political argument about the role of government. It is a deeply political metal. Those who favour gold tend to favour small government, free markets and individual responsibility. I count myself in that camp. Those who dismiss it tend to favour large government and state planning.I have argued many times that money is the blood of a society. It must be healthy. So much starts with money: values, morals, behaviour, ambitions, manners, even family size. Money must be sound and true. At the moment it is neither. Gold, however, is both. ‘Because gold is honest money it is disliked by dishonest men,' said former Republican Congressman Ron Paul. As Dorothy is advised in The Wizard of Oz (which was, as we shall discover, part allegory), maybe the time has come to once again ‘follow the yellow brick road'.On the other hand, maybe the twilight of gold has arrived, as Niall Ferguson argued in his history of debt and money, The Cash Nexus. Gold's future, he said, is ‘mainly as jewellery' or ‘in parts of the world with primitive or unstable monetary and financial systems'. Gold may have been money for 5,000 years, or even 10,000 years, but so was the horse a means of transport, and then along came the motor car.A history of gold is inevitably a history of money, but it is also a history of greed, obsession and ambition. Gold is beautiful. Gold is compelling. It is wealth in its purest, most distilled form. ‘Gold is a child of Zeus,' runs the ancient Greek lyric. ‘Neither moth nor rust devoureth it; but the mind of man is devoured by this supreme possession.' Perhaps that's why Thomas Edison said gold was ‘an invention of Satan'. Wealth, and all the emotions that come with it, can do strange things to people.Gold has led people to do the most brilliant, the most brave, the most inventive, the most innovative and the most terrible things. ‘More men have been knocked off balance by gold than by love,' runs the saying, usually attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Where gold is concerned, emotion, not logic, prevails. Even in today's markets it is a speculative asset whose price is driven by greed and fear, not by fundamental production numbers.Its gleam has drawn man across oceans, across continents and into the unknown. It lured Jason and the Argonauts, Alexander the Great, numerous Caesars, da Gama, Cortés, Pizarro and Raleigh. Brilliant new civilisations have emerged as a result of the quest for gold, yet so have slavery, war, deceit, death and devastation. Describing the gold mines of ancient Egypt, the historian Diodorus Siculus wrote, ‘there is absolutely no consideration nor relaxation for sick or maimed, for aged man or weak woman. All are forced to labour at their tasks until they die, worn out by misery amid their toil.' His description could apply to many an illegal mine in Africa today.The English critic John Ruskin told a story of a man who boarded a ship with all his money: a bag of gold coins. Several days into the voyage a terrible storm blew up. ‘Abandon ship!' came the cry. The man strapped his bag around his waist and jumped overboard, only to sink to the bottom of the sea. ‘Now,' asked Ruskin, ‘as he was sinking — had he the gold? Or had the gold him?'As the Chinese proverb goes, ‘The miser does not own the gold; the gold owns the miser.'Gold may be a dead metal. Inert, unchanging and lifeless. But its hold over humanity never relents. It has adorned us since before the dawn of civilisation and, as money, underpinned economies ever since. Desire for it has driven mankind forwards, the prime impulse for quest and conquest, for exploration and discovery. From its origins in the hearts of dying stars to its quiet presence today beneath the machinery of modern finance, gold has seen it all. How many secrets does this silent witness keep? This book tells the story of gold. It unveils the schemes, intrigues and forces that have shaped our world in the relentless pursuit of this ancient asset, which, even in this digital age, still wields immense power.That was Chapter One of The Secret History of Gold The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops.

If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence. What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers? Whose ready for an adventure??? Milica Jelenic is an advocate for pleasure. In her private practice she invites clients to create life and lifestyle that offers more pleasure and vitality.

After more than a decade of coaching women through marriage struggles, I've learned that desire in long-term relationships is widely misunderstood.We think it's a magical feeling that appears when we're with the “right” person, that it should always be spontaneous, and that focusing on our own pleasure is selfish.The truth is, desire takes effort, intention, and a willingness to be an active participant in creating it.Familiarity, daily responsibilities, and unresolved hurts can all drain desire.But we can bring it back by making space for spontaneity and adventure, planning intimacy so we can be present for it, and giving ourselves permission to care about our own pleasure.Desire doesn't just happen—it's something we can nurture if we choose.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

We hope you have been following this entire month of podcasts on sex, porn, addiction, healthy sexuality, and now total intimacy.Today, we look at what total intimacy is.Is there such a thing as the sin of withholding? Where did that come from? Is it the wife's duty to cover or pay for her husband's sin? What is con·cu·pis·cence, and can Stephanie even say it?Where did this thought originate that men must have sex every three days or three times a week?Is that from the Bible?What is healthy intimacy? What happens when there is duty sex?Is there coercion in your marriage for sex?We draw today from Total Intimacy from Dr. Doug Roseneau and The Marriage You Want by the Gregoires. We also talk about attunement and attachment from Renovated by Dr. Jim Wilder.We read from an article from Focus on the Family: Is Sex a Need or Desire?https://www.focusonthefamily.com/marriage/is-sex-a-need/Wanna hear us on Focus on the Family's Crazy Little Thing Called Marriage Podcast?https://m.christianradio.com/ministry/crazy-little-thing-called-marriage/my-spouse-is-on-the-spectrum-1238637.html

In this episode, Greg Brown breaks down why desire will always outperform discipline. Most people think they need more willpower—but the truth is, when your desire is big enough, the actions you once had to force become automatic.Greg unpacks what it really takes to stop white-knuckling your way through fitness, business, and life—and how to create an environment that pulls you forward instead of relying on discipline that eventually fades.If you're tired of starting and stopping, and you want to finally lock in a lifestyle that matches the vision you have for yourself, this one's for you.Connect with Greg:

In this conversation, Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin explore how focus and devotion guide our inner work and ultimately shape the lives we create. Drawing inspiration from a recent episode, Becoming Resilient with Nick Tucker, they reflect on how devotion isn't just a spiritual word or heavy commitment. It can be as simple as daily practices that keep us aligned with what matters most. Together, they discuss the importance of clarifying what you're truly devoted to, breaking free from old family patterns, and shifting from chasing material success to cultivating meaning and becoming. Through vulnerable stories, practical tools, and encouragement, the Laurels remind us that inner work is not only beautiful—it's the foundation for a fulfilling and purpose-driven life. If you've ever wondered how to stay focused on what truly matters, or how to weave devotion into the everyday, this episode offers guidance and grounding wisdom for your journey. 00:17 Introduction 00:33 Season Overview 01:18 Podcast Format & Flow 03:15 Episode Topic Introduction 03:43 Personal Stories of Devotion 04:55 The Role of Desire in Inner Work 06:39 Focus, Devotion, and Commitment 08:24 Simplicity in Devotion 10:50 Material Desires vs. Greater Purpose 12:58 Breaking Family Cycles & Personal Purpose 16:31 Finding Your North Star 17:35 Devotion in Career and Life Choices 19:57 Becoming vs. Having 21:11 Practicing New Ways of Being 23:15 Emotional Processing & Self-Compassion 25:34 Strategies for Starting Inner Work 26:27 Final Reflections & Listener Engagement 31:00 Invitation for Feedback 32:01 Closing Remarks Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration: What is something I feel deeply devoted to in my life right now? How does that devotion show up in my daily actions? When I think about what I don't want in my life, what does that reveal about what I truly desire instead? Where in my life have I confused “having” (material success, achievements) with “becoming” (the person I want to grow into)? What would my life look like if I shifted even more of my focus toward becoming rather than having? What family or generational patterns am I ready to release or transform? If I were at the end of my life, what would I most want to have experienced, created, or contributed? Who are the trusted people I could ask about my natural gifts, and how might their perspective help me see myself more clearly? When have I felt most aligned with my true self, rather than living from conditioning or expectation? What daily practice, no matter how simple, could I commit to as an act of devotion to myself and my growth? How do I want to contribute to the world, even in small, everyday ways? Where in my life might I need to course-correct because my devotion has shifted away from what truly matters to me? How do I want to show up in my relationships, as a parent, partner, colleague, or friend? What emotions or stories have I avoided processing that might be holding me back from growth? How would my life feel different if I practiced showing up as the person I want to become, one interaction at a time? What does “inner work” mean to me personally, and how can I make space for it this week?

Husbands, if you want a marriage that thrives with intimacy, connection, and peace—this one's for you. Too many men overlook one of the most powerful keys to a strong marriage: making their wife feel safe. When your wife feels emotionally safe, she opens up, trusts you deeper, respects your leadership, and desires more intimacy. But when she doesn't, she will shut down, pull back, and create distance in the relationship.In this video, Do This to Make Her Feel Safe, we dive into the exact steps Christian husbands can take to build emotional safety in their marriage. From leading with confidence, being stable under pressure, covering her spiritually, and communicating without fear or ego, you'll learn how to become the husband your wife can fully trust.This is not about being passive, people-pleasing, or just doing what she wants. It's about walking in godly strength, setting the tone in your home, and becoming the immovable man of God that your wife can lean on. When you do this, your marriage will grow in intimacy, respect, and joy.Your wife doesn't need perfection, she needs your presence, leadership, and emotional strength. Do this, and she will follow.Desire to become a High Level Husband who is On Fire, Free, and Followed? Then Click the link!https://www.highlevelhusband.com/bmr-blueprint

We don't desire too much...we desire too little.

What happens when the spouse who usually initiates sex suddenly stops—and weeks turn into months of silence? This painful “sexual standoff” can leave both partners feeling stuck, rejected, and disconnected. In this episode, I'll explain exactly why this pattern happens, share a real couple's story, and give you four practical steps to break out of the cycle. You'll learn how to shift focus off of blame, calm the reactivity that kills intimacy, and start rebuilding connection layer by layer. If you've been caught in this cycle—or fear you might end up there—this episode will show you how to untangle the knot and spark intimacy again in your marriage.

The sermon emphasizes the critical distinction between knowledge and wisdom, arguing that institutions prioritizing intellectual pursuit over practical, godly wisdom are destined to decline. Drawing from James 3, the message contrasts earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom with wisdom from above, characterized by purity, peaceability, gentleness, and a commitment to truth. The speaker recounts how Calvary Bible College's unconventional approach, often criticized by other institutions, has led to significant growth, advocating for a steadfast adherence to biblical principles and a rejection of cultural trends that compromise spiritual integrity, ultimately urging listeners to discern true wisdom through careful examination of scripture and a life of consistent, godly action.

Being relentless towards something, such as your health, means that we can't accept something getting in the way of what we want to achieve. There will always be obstacles and bumps in the road, but if you are relentless you will find a way around or through them to get to your goal.
