Want to know the secret to bravery? It's not what you think. In this episode, part of my "Bravest Summer Ever" series, I'm revealing the first of three keys to bravery, and it's so obvious you might miss it: goals. Here's the truth: no one is brave "just because." That would be dumb. Bravery is uncomfortable, challenging, and requires sacrifice. So why would anyone choose it? Because they have big, beautiful, sexy goals they're in love with. Goals that get them out of bed at 4:55 AM. Goals they can't stop thinking about. I'd rather watch YouTube than write some days, but I want to hold a finished book in my hand, so I have to be brave enough to focus. Desire leads to bravery. Every successful goal requires it, and every goal inspires it. So let me ask you a tough question: What do you want? You don't have to tell me, but you better tell yourself.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!

In this episode, I remind you that desire alone doesn't create results. What you think, say, do, believe, and feel must be aligned with where you want to be or better. I share why feeding your mind with the right ideas, building empowering belief patterns, and taking consistent action create the outcomes you want. I also explain why devotion goes beyond discipline, why faith grows through the promises you keep to yourself, and how staying aligned every day creates more opportunities, more options, and more touches of favor in the consistent, persistent pursuit of your potential.To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a controversial topic, but one that I often get email about. So in this episode I first do a presentation about how to approach this important discussion. It talks about what your goals are, when is the right time to have such a conversation, what your partner's reaction might be and how to continue this subject in an open and honest way that helps protect your partner from hurt. Then.....I give you MY opinion, which contradicts some of the info presented in the first half of the show, and gives you some 'food for thought' from my own experiences and what many clients have discussed with me. 

Yet another impromptu message of the Lord that hit us where we need to be. This AM session was supposed to be devotional, but turned into a 30-minute gut-punch of a preaching session

The most common issue I see in relationships is uneven desire: One of you wants more sex, the other wants less. And suddenly what used to feel simple starts to feel like a negotiation neither of you asked for. Because now every “not tonight” carries meaning. And every initiation carries pressure. But what if the real issue is not incompatibility…What if it is the way meaning gets assigned to desire differences that turns connection into tension? In this Language of Love Session, I respond to Marcus, who is trying to navigate uneven desire in a loving relationship without creating pressure, rejection, or resentment on either side. This episode is not about fixing libido. It is about understanding what actually shapes desire in long term relationships and how couples unknowingly turn intimacy into a performance instead of a shared experience. In this episode, you'll learn: Why desire differences are one of the most common and misunderstood challenges in long term relationships How emotional connection, nervous system state, and stress quietly shape libido more than most people realize The hidden dynamic that turns sex into pressure instead of invitation Why “spontaneous desire” often disappears in real life relationships and what replaces it A simple shift that helps couples rebuild safety, attraction, and emotional ease without forcing alignment How to talk about intimacy in a way that creates understanding instead of defensiveness This is not about one person needing to change their desire. It is about learning how to create conditions where intimacy feels emotionally safe, physically possible, and mutually nourishing again. Because desire does not thrive under pressure. It thrives under connection, safety, and space to breathe.

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites' escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. Continuing to explore Yahweh's role in our path to freedom, Rabbi Steve Berkson references Romans 8 and James 1 to highlight that Paul was contrasting the fleshly mind (human nature) with the mind of the Spirit of Elohim.• Intro/Review• God won't do this…• Back to the review• Romans 8:7 – You can't serve Elohim if…• Romans 8:1 – Disconnect YOUR understanding • Romans 8:3 – The Torah is weak?• Romans 8:5 – What are you thinking?• Romans 8:6 – The flesh (natural human) cannot submit to Elohim• Romans 8:9 – IF…• Change is possible, but not easy• Romans 8:10 – Righteousness is life• Romans 8:11 – What is a dwelling?• Romans 8:12 – You owe the flesh nothing!• James 1:8 – Double-minded (two natures)• James 1:1-3 – To whom are you proving your belief?• James 1:3-4 – Trials develop endurance • James 1:6-8 – Ask for wisdom • James 1:12 – There's a blessing for getting through the trial• James 1:14-15 – Desire births action• James 1:16-18 – Elohim brought us forth for what?• James 1:19-20 – Don't be quick to run your mouth• James 1:21-24 – The implanted Word will save your life• James 1:25 – The perfect law of freedomListen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to be notified of new content each week.Learn more about MTOI:https://mtoi.orgThe MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-appFollow MTOI:https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI:

The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — that's what ARYA delivers, a monthly intimacy membership curated by AASECT certified sexologists and shipped right to your door.Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In this episode, I sit down with Adreena Winters — writer, educator, and one of the most recognized voices in the world of cuckolding — to finally clear up what this dynamic actually is, and what it isn't. Adreena is the author of So You Want to Be a Cuckold and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, and she brings both lived experience and years of coaching couples through this exact terrain.We get into why most people's first reaction to the word "cuckolding" is shame or confusion, and why that reaction is almost always wrong. Adreena breaks down the real difference between a hot wife dynamic and a cuckoldress dynamic, why humiliation is usually a small piece of the puzzle rather than the main event, and why compersion — genuinely enjoying your partner's pleasure — is so often the real engine driving this for men.We talk about how couples actually start exploring this safely: communication first, boundaries second, and why over-controlling the experience can backfire. Adreena walks through the biggest mistakes couples make (hint: it usually starts with who you let into the dynamic), the red flags that signal someone isn't a good third-party candidate, and the warning signs that a couple isn't actually ready for this yet. We also get into the Red Pill and Manosphere comparison — because consent is the dividing line, and it changes everything.If you've ever been curious, confused, or quietly judging something you don't fully understand, this conversation will give you the real picture instead of the porn version.In This Episode:00:00 Intro & Aria.FYI01:15 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:45 Meet Adreena Winters02:30 Why Cuckolding Is So Misunderstood04:00 Cuckoldress vs. Hot Wife: What's the Real Difference06:30 Is the Bull Part of the Couple's Dynamic?08:15 Who Usually Initiates: Men or Women?10:00 Cutting Queens & Reversed Dynamics12:00 Where to Start: Communication and Boundaries14:30 No, It's Not Always a Threesome16:00 Biggest Mistakes Couples Make18:30 Red Flags When Vetting a Bull20:30 Signs a Couple Isn't Ready Yet23:00 The Porn Fantasy vs. The Reality26:00 Adreena's Own Relationship & Retiring From Porn28:30 Cuckold Confessions: Filming Real Couples30:00 Finding a Bull: Apps, Sites & Communities31:30 Cuckolding vs. The Manosphere & Red Pill32:30 Is Cuckolding Cheating?33:00 Where to Find Adrena & Closing ThoughtsAbout The Guest:Adreena Winters is a content creator, writer, and educator known for her work exploring cuckolding. With over a decade of experience both personally and professionally in the adult industry, she has become one of the most recognisable voices discussing cuckolding openly and without shame. Adreena is the author of So, You Want to Be a Cuckold?, and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, a series exploring the motivations and desires of men who embrace the cuckold identity.

Season 2, Episode 119In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on sin, desire, identity, and holiness by examining the biblical doctrine of concupiscence and the ongoing struggle against indwelling sin. Building on the previous discussion of original sin and fallen human nature, the conversation addresses a difficult question: What should Christians think about sinful desires that seem to arise without conscious choice? Drawing from passages such as James 1, Romans 7, Galatians 5, Hebrews 4, and the Tenth Commandment, the episode explores the distinction between external temptation and inward corruption, the historic debate over whether sinful desire is itself sin, and why the Reformers insisted that disordered desires must be taken seriously as part of humanity's fallenness. Along the way, Michael and Zach discuss the sinlessness of Christ, the doctrine of impeccability, the reality of remaining corruption in the believer, and the Spirit-empowered battle of sanctification. The episode concludes with a message of both honesty and hope: the presence of sinful desire is not proof that grace is absent, but neither is it something to celebrate. Rather, the Christian life is a real war against sin in which God progressively transforms His people through the gospel, His Spirit, and the ordinary means of grace.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/M9nVPTdYieUMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Here's the secret that nobody wants to know about desire. The more you fulfill your desires, the more desires you will have. When you don't fulfill a desire, it comes back. You don't fulfill it; it comes back again. When you don't fulfill it again, it takes longer for it to come back. And you don't fulfil it, it takes even longer for the desire to arise and it is... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse “Timeless Beingness" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/timeless-beingness-6-7-26   #yogamysticism #gurudevi #svaroopameditation #spirituality #divine #yoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda #meditation #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #swaminirmalananda

It's very confusing to hear a partner say that they need space, what's really going on? Most of the time the person asking for space is needing space because they feel overwhelmed by so many things needing their time and attention all the time, or sometimes it's depression, menopause or some other struggles with mental and physical health. Yes sometimes it's because there is another male interest in her life too.So it's essential to get to the root of what's causing the request for space.In this episode I talk about this in more detail - what's happening, why it's happening, what you should think about it and about you and your future and how to respond to it with confidence as a strong, masculine man.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable.

Heated Rivalry is is one of my favorite love stories ever told & I cannot get enough of reviewing, analyzing & talking about it. I am so excited to share Part 2 of my conversation with the amazing Laura Jurgens!  SPOILER ALERT!

A quick note on where we're each coming from: I'm a cisgender heterosexual woman, & Laura is a bisexual woman bringing her own lived experience to this.  We're both speaking from our specific lenses, & that feels especially worth naming here in Part 2, where we talk about desire & women's sexuality.  As a person who loves love both in real life & on TV, I have LOTS OF THOUGHTS — & I'm so grateful for the deep joy this celebration of queer love has brought to my life. A second quick note: we talk about sex & sexual situations, so if you're listening somewhere with people who shouldn't be hearing this, save it for later. Here is the scoop on what we talked about — ✨ Episode at a Glance Why "women don't like sex" is a cultural myth — & what's actually true The response to this show as a phenomenon, & what it's revealing about women's desire Why so much of our cultural sexual script is written for & around men The pizza analogy that completely reframes "low libido" Why the show works as inspiration, not a manual "Stop guessing, start asking" — the coaching homework hiding inside the love story Rose, & why we all need allies who help us see ourselves What episode four teaches us about letting fear run the show The Russian monologue & the relief of finally saying it out loud Trusting your vision: the creative bravery of writer-producer Jacob Tierney Why being deeply specific is exactly what makes a story (or a relationship) universal What collaborative leadership on set teaches us about co-creating in our relationships   Resources mentioned in this episode: Part 1 of this conversation: Heated Rivalry — Courage, Shame & Being Seen with Laura Jurgens The Polarity Episode: Masculine, Feminine & Repackaged Patriarchy with Laura Jurgens — www.maggiereyes.com/podcast/203 The Questions for Couples Journal Private Coaching with Maggie Free Workshop: The Growth Gap Marriage Mindset Makeover Visit Laura's website: www.laurajurgens.com  Follow Laura on Instagram: @laura.jurgens.coach Listen to Laura's podcast: The Pleasure Uprising Podcast

What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn't failure... it's what happens when success finally gets within reach? Most people think the hard part is getting the opportunity. Actress, producer, and filmmaker Belle Guillory discovered something different after spending eight years building a career in Hollywood: every new level requires a new version of you. In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Belle for an honest conversation about what it really takes to pursue a dream that doesn't happen overnight.

This conversation explores why success often feels scarier the closer you get, the difference between dreaming and doing, and how learning every part of your craft can prepare you for opportunities you never expected. Whether you're building a business, pursuing a creative career, or stepping into your next chapter, Belle's story is a reminder that success isn't just about reaching your dream—it's about growing into the person who can carry it.

“The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, p 27In this episode of Catechism 101, we discuss the universal desire for God. This desire is written in our hearts, and is made visible through our search for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.This podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

True growth never comes with a shortcut, and the sooner you stop looking for one, the faster you'll actually get there.Steph tackles one of the most common traps in personal development: the relentless search for shortcuts. We are wired to seek efficiency and ease, but when it comes to coaching, leadership, relationships, and self-improvement, that instinct can keep us stuck.

The episode challenges listeners to shift their mindset from chasing quick fixes to embracing the journey of growth itself.In this episode you'll discover:Why the brain is wired to seek shortcuts and how that works against your growthHow consistency and small daily habits create the biggest breakthroughsWhy choosing growth on purpose every single day is the real success strategyYour takeaways:There are no real shortcuts to achieving your goals; success takes time, effort, and intention.Big breakthroughs are built from small, consistent actions, not single defining moments.Personal growth is a daily choice; embrace the journey instead of waiting for the quick fix.Chapters00:00 The Desire for Easy Solutions05:51 The Illusion of Shortcuts08:26 The Myth of the Big Breakthrough11:07 The Power of Consistency15:37 Choosing Growth Over ShortcutsLearn your impact score by taking the Impact Scorecard!

Temptation is everywhere. In fact, it may be lurking in places that we are not even aware of. Let's put this in perspective: Who do you claim to be? If you answered that you claim to be a Christian, then the next question is, who do you serve and in whose footsteps are you therefore to walk? Our answers should be that we serve God and are walking in the footsteps of Jesus our Lord! Now here's the test: Let's think about our associations, our work or school environments, our friends, the shows we watch, the influencers we follow, the music we listen to and the posts we make and read. Where are all these things drawing our minds to? What percentage of all these things are in exact alignment with God our Father and Jesus our Lord? Think! Be honest! You see, temptation IS everywhere! How to identify temptation? It doesn't always arrive with flashing lights or obvious danger. More often, it begins quietly—like a seed dropped into the “soil” of our hearts. What matters most is what we do with those seeds. Left unattended, they can take root and pull us off course. But when recognized early, they can be uprooted before they grow into something that harms our spiritual life. The New Testament describes temptation as a proving ground—a pressure that reveals what is already inside us. That pressure can either weaken us or build us, depending on the desires we allow to take root. Even Jesus faced temptation, showing us that the battle itself is not sin. The danger comes when desire is fed, entertained, or justified. Whether it's the “lust of the flesh,” the “lust of the eyes,” or the “pride of life,” temptation always begins with something that looks appealing and promises more than it can deliver. Because temptation is subtle, how to identify temptation becomes our first line of defense. We're called to examine our thoughts, emotions and habits with honesty. Are they drawing us closer to God or quietly nudging us away? Scripture encourages us to “submit to God,” “resist the devil,” and “draw near” to the One who provides strength and clarity. When we recognize the early signs, remove ourselves from compromising environments and reassess our emotional state, we create space for God to reshape our responses and strengthen our character. Temptation is universal—but so is God's faithfulness. With humility, vigilance, and a willingness to grow, we can face temptation with confidence and shut it down before it takes root. Key Takeaways • Temptation begins as a seed—often subtle and easily overlooked. • Desire is the catalyst. Temptation gains power only when it connects with something inside us. • Awareness, honesty and early action are essential to stopping temptation before it grows. • Scripture provides a clear process: submit to God, resist the devil, draw near and reshape our responses. • God always provides strength, clarity and a way of escape for those who seek Him.

In this episode of Let's Talk Marketing with NDUB, Nathan Webster (NDUB) gets real about why chasing followers is building someone else's business instead of yours. Your followers live on Instagram's land, YouTube's land, Facebook's land, and the day the algorithm changes or the account gets purged, that "audience" is gone. So how do small business owners actually own the people they serve? Nathan breaks down the mindset shift behind "The Netflix Effect," why attention is the real currency, and how old-school AIDA (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action) still wins in 2026. He also gets honest about his own fear of showing up on camera, the conference lesson that finally made him stop undervaluing himself, and why "scared to be you" is the thing quietly killing your brand.

Why the Love and Desire Died in Your Relationship (And How to Get Them Back) The love and desire don't die because something went wrong between you. They die because something shifted inside each of you. The relationship is just the light bulb. If it's not turning on, that's a signal, not the problem itself. This is the most conceptually dense episode I've put out, and I mean that in the best way. I take everything Dawn and I have lived through, from one of the most sexually charged connections I'd ever felt to a dead bedroom and back to something better than how we started, and I lay out the framework that explains why any of it happened at all.

Send us Fan MailYou go for a drink with a buddy, and he unloads what's happened with his girl. A lot of push-pull, ignored texts, mood swings, drama. He wonders what's going through her mind, and enlists your help in figuring her out too.What do you say?Do you engage your own anxious brainwaves, and try and decipher her motives? Or do you tackle the real issue on display:Never mind the woman… what's going on with you?I don't believe pondering a woman's motives and feelings is entirely a fool's game. But it's amazing how men get caught in this loop. All day, all month, thinking of her, wondering what to text, how to approach the issue, how to get what you want without losing the little you already have.We all know what happens when we overthink things. Action ends up awkward. Whatever we end up saying or doing, it seems to drive her away.When it comes to drama, pulling away, mixed messages, heightened emotions, many men feel a subtle distress. And it's the distress that drives these endless questions.What if, instead of the week lost chasing her in your mind, you could find tranquility amidst the storm? Today's episode is about exactly that.Because in the end, 90% of drama resolves by itself. Let her unravel and come to you in good time.__________________________________________________If you're working with the patterns of a lifetime, and want to learn to hold yourself steady when desire and drama collide:I'm running a small private coaching afternoon called Desire in the Afternoon.

Henry Sokolski discusses South Korea's desire for nuclear enrichment and submarines amidst North Korea's growing arsenal. He argues that the threat is primarily political, with the North seeking a confederation to undermine South Korean independence. (9)

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the ninth, tenth, and eleventh components of authentic teshuvah: breaking desires, transforming the instruments of sin into instruments of mitzvah, and conducting honest self-examination. The author teaches that one of the greatest obstacles to spiritual growth is unchecked desire. Even when something is technically permissible, a person must learn self-restraint and discipline. Judaism does not advocate deprivation, but it does teach mastery over desires rather than becoming mastered by them. True freedom comes when a person controls their appetites instead of allowing appetites to control them. A central theme of the episode is balance. Rabbi Wolbe explains that Torah does not reject physical pleasures; rather, it teaches when, how, and to what extent they should be enjoyed. Whether discussing food, wealth, luxury, or other physical pursuits, the Torah's goal is to help a person remain in charge of their choices. The more a person develops self-control in permitted matters, the stronger they become in resisting forbidden temptations. Spiritual growth is not about eliminating pleasure but about elevating it and placing it within a framework of purpose and holiness. The episode then introduces a profound principle of repair: the very limb or faculty used for wrongdoing should become the vehicle for correction. Eyes that once looked improperly should be redirected toward holiness. Hands that may have been used negatively should become tools for charity and kindness. Speech that once caused harm should be transformed into words of Torah, truth, and encouragement. Finally, Rabbi Wolbe highlights the importance of daily self-evaluation. Through regular reflection on our actions, conversations, relationships, and choices, we gain the awareness necessary to grow, repair mistakes, and continually draw closer to Hashem._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 29, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 18, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Wanting sounds simple until you realize how many of us were trained out of it. If you've gotten good at meeting other people's needs, staying “easy,” and saying “I don't mind,” this conversation is a gentle challenge and a practical reset. I talk about how reclaiming identity starts with needs and boundaries, but it doesn't end there. Desire is where your real self lives, and it's also the part that often gets buried under people pleasing, fear of conflict, and lifelong conditioning.We dig into why wanting can feel dangerous, especially if you grew up monitoring someone else's happiness to keep yourself safe, or if you learned early that your preferences were “too much” or “wrong.” I share my own experience of growing up queer and losing trust in my desires, plus how shame and social pressure can push us into numbness. Then we get concrete: the difference between what you want and what you think you should want shows up in feelings and body signals, because your nervous system registers a clear yes or no even when your brain tries to negotiate.You'll hear simple ways to start small without blowing up your life: using free time as a low-stakes lab, bringing back play, following inner child clues, and translating childhood “dream jobs” into the energy you want more of now. We also talk about conflict, how to let other people have their feelings, and how to make choices that are more aligned with your desires over time.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who's always “fine,” and leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.

Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mSumRVieRjc Hosts Keith and Jodi interview Nila Morton, a Black disabled woman, content creator, social worker, and disability advocate, about visibility, fashion, desire, sex education, and how ableism and racism shape who is seen as desirable or fully adult; she describes pushback for discussing relationships and sex, the need to normalize disability in public, and how she sets boundaries while educating others. The episode's Deep Cut reviews the documentary "Patrice: The Movie," about Patrice Jetter and Garry Wickham facing benefits rules that penalize marriage and cohabitation, including the SSI $2,000 savings limit, loss of benefits tied to fundraising, accessible transportation barriers, and the looming threat of institutionalization. The hosts connect the story to policy efforts like the Marriage Equality for Disabled Adults Act and related SSI reforms. Find Nila online: https://linktr.ee/NilaNMorton

In this episode, Ashley explores soul desires, authenticity, and the difference between what is truly ours and what has been shaped through conditioning. Inspired by a list she wrote at 19, she reflects on why some desires fall away while others stay with us for decades. She also touches on the current Mercury Retrograde shadow period and how getting mastitis (again), alongside a potential foot fracture, brought through some very clear realizations around how she has been shrinking herself. The episode ends with a little teaser of what is being announced next week.

In this new Ps+ series, we join Pastor Chris Allred as he takes us through a personal, practical set of episodes focused on development in the area of ministry leadership. 

When Claire Rumore was lifted into a hospital gurney to undergo her first biopsy, she stepped aside to use the restroom first. And while she was there, she heard a quiet internal voice ask her a question: Do you want to go back to the life you had before? Is that what you want? Without hesitation, her answer was no. What followed was one of the most unusual cancer journeys in modern medicine. Claire was 43 years old. She had stage four pancreatic cancer — a diagnosis that typically affects older men, and that her medical team never actually disclosed to her during treatment. She went through two major abdominal surgeries, dropped to 74 pounds, lost her menstrual cycle, lost her libido, and lost the person she had been. And then, slowly, over the course of eighteen months, she found her way back. Not to who she was- but to someone clearer, more embodied, and more deeply connected to her own desire than she had ever been before. In this episode, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Claire for a conversation about the emotional, relational, and erotic dimensions of cancer recovery that medicine almost never addresses. Claire is the founder of Cancer and Intimacy, an education platform built on a three-part framework she developed from her own experience and her work with patients, survivors, and their partners. The first lily pad is erotic grief, the deeply under addressed process of mourning what's been lost: The body you knew, the sexuality you had, the intimacy you can no longer access in the same way. Claire has written a free ebook on erotic grief and makes a compelling case that this experience is not exclusive to cancer. It's universal to anyone navigating major change. The second is libido listening. The slow, quiet, inward practice of reacquainting yourself with your own body's signals after illness or loss. Claire describes learning to feel pleasure in the sheets against her skin, in the air in the room, in the gentlest forms of touch, what she calls subtle sexuality. A term she coined to describe the low, soft, sensory orientation to desire that becomes the entry point back to conventional sexuality.

I recently finished reading The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer, and it stirred up some deep reflection for me around desire, surrender, and trust in life.I deeply resonate with Singer's message of letting go and saying yes to life, and I can see many places in my own life where things didn't unfold as planned—but led to something I never could have orchestrated myself.At the same time, it brought me back to something I teach in Whispers of the Soul. I don't believe our first step is letting go of desire. I believe it's discovering what we truly want. Without that clarity, we risk surrendering not to life, but to other people's expectations.In this episode, I share personal stories and explore what it means to both lean in and let go at the same time—honouring our desires while releasing attachment to how they unfold.I also talk about what it looks like to begin your own “surrender experiment” in everyday life.

The 10 Commandments E13 — We've arrived at the 10th and final commandment, which feels very different from all the ones that came before it: “Do not desire … anything that belongs to your neighbor.” While most translations use the word “covet,” we simply find khamad, which is the general Hebrew word for desire. All the other commandments involve observable actions, but desire is entirely internal. So why does God warn us about desiring things that belong to our neighbor? In this episode, Jon and Tim finish the 10 Commandments by showing how this command works as an undercurrent beneath all the others.

H.W. Brands describes how, by the summer of 1939, the destruction of Poland by German and Soviet forces confirmed that war was imminent, prompting Roosevelt to invoke neutrality laws as required by Congress. Despite his desire for privacy, Lindbergh began using his celebrity status to secure national radio airtime, feeling a duty to prevent Americafrom repeating what he viewed as the "mistake" of the First World War. His father, a former congressman, had been driven out of politics for opposing American intervention in 1917, a legacy that instilled in Lindbergh a profound distrust of politics as a "mean business" where truth was rare. Lindbergh argued that Britain and France were launching a war they could not win and would eventually force the United States into a permanent presence in Europe. During this period, he consulted with figures like Herbert Hoover, who suggested forming a committee that would eventually become "America First," and visited the "House of Morgan" through his wife's family connections. British observers, such as Harold Nicolson, were less impressed, dismissing Lindbergh as a "schoolboy" who possessed technical talent but lacked a mature understanding of diplomacy and the complexities of governing a great empire. Lindbergh remained unfazed by British criticism, asserting that he was an American and that his country's interests were distinct from those of the British Empire. (2)1936
