This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmWith the firing (and then unfiring) of Jimmy Kimmel, the right-wing crackdown in the name of Charlie Kirk seems to have bumped up against real limits. In light of the week's developments, we discuss:* The schisms within MAGA that were on display at the Kirk memorial;* How those schisms fused with resistance backlash, forcing ABC and Disney to rethink their decision to take Kimmel off the air;* Whether this is a sign that society as a whole has reached the limits of authoritarian abuses it's willing to tolerate.Then, Brian and Matt zoom out to ask whether public rejection of a free-speech crackdown can help form the basis of big-tent Democratic unity, from Zohran Mamdani in New York through (maybe!) Geoff Duncan in Georgia. Is Duncan the best candidate in the Georgia Dem gubernatorial primary? Should Democrats back him for the abstract value of proving the party welcomes heterodox voices? And what does progressive uneasiness with Duncan, like establishment Dem uneasiness with Mamdani, tell us about the meaning of solidarity?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian thinks the Kirk crackdown moved Democrats closer to an appropriate fighting posture. * Matt on the crackdown as classic overreach;* Jessica Valenti on why abortion represents the least productive grounds on which Democrats might moderate.* Geoff Duncan explains his conversion to Greg Sargent.

Are you chasing goals that never seem to land? We've all been there—staring at someone else's life and wondering why they're moving faster, making more, or living freer with the exact same goals. The truth? Having a vision isn't enough. It's about messy, consistent action and ruthless clarity on what actually matters. In this episode, we break down the four hidden reasons you don't have what you've always wanted—and how to flip them into daily wins. From uncovering what you truly want (versus what others told you to want) to finally saying no to distractions, these shifts aren't about hustle or willpower. They're about designing a life that feels like yours. Winning doesn't always look like trophies or gold medals. Sometimes it's being home for dinner, having money saved for travel, or enjoying unhurried mornings. By the end of this conversation, you'll walk away with clear, actionable steps to prioritize your time, energy, and money where it counts most. What You'll Learn: Why goals and willpower aren't enough The first reason you don't have what you want: clarity vs. inherited goals Why being at “zero” keeps you stuck—and how to move to “one” How saying yes too often sabotages your progress The link between time, money, and getting what you truly want How to turn small, messy actions into big wins If you're ready to stop comparing and start living your version of success, this episode gives you the roadmap.

Men are lonelier than ever — even in a world where we're more “connected” than at any point in history. The truth is, most men are starving for brotherhood, honesty, and real connection, yet culture keeps pushing the “lone wolf” narrative that leaves us isolated, ashamed, and stuck. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with men's coach and community builder Tom Karrel, co-founder of Groups For Men, to expose the real roots of male loneliness and share the path forward. Together, they unpack the lies men are told about masculinity, the destructive role of social media, and why desire — paired with action — is the key to change. Tom doesn't just talk theory — he brings over a decade of experience facilitating men's groups, leading retreats, and helping thousands of men worldwide rediscover their voice, their purpose, and their brothers. If you've ever felt like you're “the only one” struggling, this episode is your wake-up call: you are not alone, but it's on you to take the first step into community. About Tom Karrel Tom Karrel is a men's coach, writer, and group facilitator with over 10,000 hours of leading men's work around the globe. He is the co-founder of Groups For Men, an organization dedicated to creating safe, supportive communities where men can grow, heal, and connect. Tom is passionate about helping men cut through the noise of cultural expectations, live in truth, and build the kind of brotherhood that transforms lives. Learn more about Tom and his work at groupsformen.com. Expect to Learn: Why men are experiencing unprecedented levels of loneliness despite hyper-connectivity The conflicting cultural messages about masculinity — and how they keep men stuck Why desire is the starting point for any real change in a man's life The dark side of social media and its impact on men's mental health Why vulnerability is not weakness, but the foundation of deeper connection Practical tools for self-discovery and communication that every man can apply What to look for when searching for a supportive community or brotherhood Why personal responsibility is the non-negotiable key to growth and freedom Key Takeaways: Men are feeling lonelier than ever despite being “connected.” Masculinity is often defined by conflicting cultural narratives. Desire + action is the catalyst for real transformation. Social media amplifies isolation, fear, and comparison. In-person connections are vital for mental health and fulfillment. Brotherhood and supportive communities are essential for men to thrive. Vulnerability is strength, not weakness. --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ
This episode is all about why I'm making a change in this podcast, including why that is going to be extra great for you as a listener. In fact, you're going to get even more of my focused expertise, aimed at the issue that affects 80% of people in relationships at some point: libido mismatch. I'm keeping all the no-nonsense, research-based, caring content you know me for. What you also get is laser-focused expertise on desire differences— the issue that touches virtually every other sexual and relationship challenge people face. Here's why this matters: most marriage and family therapists have zero training in sexuality, leaving couples seeking help for their biggest relationship issue from professionals who are under-prepared. Most couples wait years before addressing desire differences, often making the gap harder to bridge.I've been on both sides of desire differences myself—zero desire periods where I felt broken and ashamed, and times as the higher-libido partner, when I felt constantly rejected. My partner and I worked through both scenarios using the exact methods I teach clients, and we're now having the best sex of our lives.You'll hear transformation stories like my client who went from painful obligation sex twice a year to genuine pleasure and stronger communication in three months. I also preview upcoming episodes and guide you through a reflection exercise to assess your current relationship with desire. Whether you want more or less sex than your partner, feel rejected or pressured, this episode will help you understand why you're not broken and give you specific steps to start creating change immediately.Get my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/

You Cannot Negotiate Desire
Holistic sexuality involves having a deep enough level of self-understanding that you can make choices that are aligned with your core needs and feel empowered to live out those choices in your own life. In today's show, we're going to talk about harnessing holistic sexuality in order to lead a more pleasure-filled life and be more in tune with our desires. I'm joined once again by Dr. Juliana Hauser, a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor. In addition to running a successful virtual private practice, Dr. Juliana is a nationally known sex expert whose work has appeared all over in the media. Her latest book is A New Position on Sex: A Guide to Greater Sexual Confidence, Pleasure, and Authenticity. Some of the specific topics we explore include: How can we have a healthier relationship with our own sexual pleasure? How do we make pleasure a priority in everyday life? What are some practical ways to reawaken sexual desire? How can we begin to identify what we really do and don’t want when it comes to sex? How can we get better at both saying “no” and hearing “no” in the bedroom? You can visit Juliana’s website to learn more about her work. Got a sex question?

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one's magical practice. For this panel discussion, we address the following questions. How do we navigate the relationship between doing magic for things we desire in healthy ways (and how do we define this) vs. things we might desire that would be unhelpful for us, or which might travel into the territory of spiritual bypassing? What barriers surrounding the concept of desire have we had to move through in our work? What experiences would we share?Thanks to panel guests Clodius, Zarpauluk, Catalyst and Jour de SadalsuudReferenced in today's episode: Zarpauluk's work https://paraimperium.wordpress.com/ https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Joanna_Ghost_Hunter/The Tibetan Book of the Dead The Big Book of Candle Magic - Jacki Smith Conversations on Citizenship and Person-Centered Work - John O'Brien & Carol BlessingThanks to Sad Black Lab for the use of their song, "Steps" https://youtu.be/rJIg__DK2X8?si=WE9aCcU6lpMIISpMhttps://youtu.be/WYmgmgtjCpQ?si=MQ5B-93ib6yvK8f3https://open.spotify.com/track/0lqCwUEgiryqT2G8QMBgRt?si=r5t5OIaGT7yzB6vn-QOZiw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2ccTag8BLNcMa9pQfHdtxSThanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

Two times a week and still unhappy? We unpack a Reddit case where a husband pushes porn “training,” demands replies while she's with their kid, and even threatens to find someone else. We explain why that nukes trust and desire—and what actually builds a great sex life: enthusiasm, not obligation. You'll learn how porn scripts sabotage connection, how to get her out of “mom mode,” why taking stress off her plate matters, and how to express desire for her (not just sex). We offer clean, practical scripts, a simple foreplay framework, and a quick detox plan if porn is dulling your attraction. Plus: intensity vs. frequency, why threats are relationship napalm, and how to turn “meh” encounters into memorable experiences—for both of you.⸻Timestamps (approx.)0:00 Cold open: Men's “3 vs 6” pleasure idea2:10 The Reddit scenario & the giant red flags6:00 Why porn-based demands destroy desire9:40 Enthusiasm is greater than obligation (what men actually want)12:30 Getting her out of mom mode (stress & setup)15:10 Desire for her vs. “I need sex”18:00 Texting that seduces (not spams)21:00 Intensity beats frequency (experience over quota)24:30 If porn is the driver: detox & re-sensitize27:00 The “threat to cheat” = trust killer30:00 Practical scripts + weekly intimacy ritual34:00 When to seek help / when to walk away36:30 Wrap & takeaways
How to Create & Sustain Desire in Relationship with Justin Pierce - Heart of Man Podcast by Sacred
Desire is intrinsic to all living forms – the urge to exist and flourish. It turns to suffering when, due to unmet needs, it contracts, intensifies and separates us from our full aliveness and awareness. These two talks guide us in awakening from this trance, and discovering how within desire is the longing that can carry us to true belonging. In this talk, Tara explores: how the “wanting mind” pulls us away from presence and freedom. how unmet needs fuel craving and why substitutes never bring lasting joy. the suffering of identifying with desire and how mindfulness offers release. using the RAIN practice to recognize, allow, and soften the wanting mind. tracing back desire to discover love, belonging, and freedom already here.

Have you ever had a powerful breakthrough — an awakening, an expansion, a deep inner revelation — only to feel frustrated when it doesn't immediately translate into your daily life? In this solo episode of Wild & Waking, Emily unpacks the truth that integration always lags behind revelation. Growth isn't instant. Transformation takes time to embody. And the space between knowing and becoming is where much of the real work happens.Emily shares from her own journey of unraveling old narratives, questioning inherited systems, and diving into deeper layers of personal and spiritual growth. She reflects on the tension of living between worlds — one foot in everyday life, board meetings, and school pickup lines, while the other is immersed in awakening, spiritual exploration, and big-picture questions about who we are and how we want to live. This “in-between” can feel isolating, even disorienting, but it's also where belonging, truth, and deeper self-connection are forged.Together, we explore the messy middle of transformation: the lag between breakthrough moments and lived embodiment, the grief that comes when old relationships no longer align, and the deep human ache to be fully seen and understood. Emily reminds us that feeling “crazy” or “too much” during this process is not a flaw but a hallmark of waking up to yourself. Awakening and integration don't happen on the same timeline — and that's okay.If you're feeling caught between who you've always been and who you're becoming… if you're hungry for belonging in the midst of your awakening… if you're realizing that embodying your breakthroughs takes more patience than you thought — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.In this episode, I explore:Why integration lags behind revelation — and what it means when your breakthroughs, awakenings, and expansions take time to embodyThe experience of living between worlds: navigating everyday life while undergoing deep spiritual growth and personal transformationThe grief, disorientation, and isolation that often accompanies spiritual awakening when old relationships or spaces no longer alignThe deep human ache for belonging, being fully seen, and understood while walking the path of growthThe Wild & Waking framework — unraveling, remembering, reclamation, and rise — and how these cyclical phases shape every transformation journeyWhy safe spaces and soul-aligned communities like The Coven are essential for women navigating expansion, awakening, and integrationHow breakthroughs often lead to unexpected challenges — and why these moments become the hallmarks of your growth storyIf this conversation spoke to you, don't keep it to yourself. Share this episode on your socials or pass it along to a friend who's navigating her own breakthroughs, awakenings, or seasons of living between worlds. These are the conversations that remind us we're not alone — and together, we create the belonging we're all craving.Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up...

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Talk Synopsis: Clearing the Poisons – Greed and Aversion This talk explores how the Buddha's teachings on dukkha and the three unwholesome roots—greed, aversion, and delusion—relate to the common mental obstacles that arise in meditation and daily life. Framed through the lens of the five hindrances, the talk looks closely at how these energies obscure attention and contribute to suffering. The talk includes a practical discussion of temperament—how some of us tend more toward craving, others toward irritation or confusion—and how understanding these patterns can support clarity and compassion. Rather than trying to get rid of these states, the emphasis is on recognizing and relating to them with awareness, in line with the Buddha's instruction to know dukkha and its causes. Grounded in the Four Noble Truths, the talk points toward a path of practice that works with what's difficult—not as a problem to fix, but as a doorway to insight and freedom.
