Curiosity didn't kill the cat, that's a dumb cliche but because of curiosity many people have lost their lives. Many people are stressed out to the max because of their never ending curiosity and desire for extreme adventures! Why worry about something you have no clue about? If it isn't harming you or your life, what does it matter? If it's not enhancing your life, what does it matter? People are busy bodies who mind everything and everyone's elses business other than their own and because of it the world is full of broken unhealed people who hearts are cold as ice! It's all about the mindsets people have and instead of choosing to become better people have chosen to remain the same broken stressed out people.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Coach Tory and Coach Don welcome you to Episode 429 of Everything Fastpitch. They share a Did You Know? noting over $9 million in NIL deals have been denied, seeking listener clarification. A listener asks how to keep defenders engaged behind a dominant strikeout pitcher; the hosts suggest emphasizing communication, positioning, backup responsibilities, and practicing game-speed defensive reps. In an interview, Gosia Betancourt describes her son Joshua's transition from intense elite gymnastics to elite diving, the family's emotional adjustment, and the importance of listening to children; she also discusses managing perfectionism, injuries, coach communication, and using online schooling for academic rigor and flexibility. The coaching tip urges travel-ball coaches to align tryout advertising with realistic commitments, especially claims about player development versus heavy tournament schedules.Crimson Global AcademySupport the show

That thing that turns you on but you've never quite been able to explain? Or the relationship dynamic you keep recreating? Those aren't random. And they aren't fully explained by your attachment style.This is the introduction episode for a series on attachment wounds and erotic desires. Before we get into the specific wound patterns, I'm laying the foundation — what attachment styles actually are, where they fall short, and how to understand attachment patterns beyond the standard (avoidant, anxious, disorganized or secure) boxes. We'll talk about how our childhood experiences and specific attachment wounds tend to lead to specific turn-ons. Plus, why that's good news and will help you de-shame your desires. In this episode:Why attachment styles are learned habits, not personality traits or life sentencesHow your attachment response shifts depending on who you're with, how they communicate, and the specific felt safety of that relationshipWhy the anxious/avoidant label doesn't capture the full picture — and what the deeper wounds underneath those patterns actually areA preview of the five developmental wounds this series explores: safety, dependency, trust, autonomy, and worthThe core skills that underlie secure attachment — and why they're learnable, not fixed traits reserved for people who had easier childhoodsHow early unmet needs shape not just your relational patterns but your specific erotic desires — and why that connection makes complete sense once you see itCompanion resource for this series: Dr. R.

The sermon contrasts two opposing human desires: the will to follow Christ through self-denial and daily surrender, versus the instinct for self-preservation and control. Drawing from Luke 9:23-24, the message argues that true discipleship requires crucifying the flesh and embracing a life of humility rather than seeking comfort or worldly gain. The preacher challenges believers to examine their motivations, warning that those who try to save their lives for themselves ultimately destroy them, while those who lose their lives for Jesus' sake find true salvation. Emphasizing action over mere sentiment, the text calls for a radical commitment to sanctification and obedience in response to God's grace. The central appeal urges the congregation to cultivate a genuine desire to follow Jesus above all else, rejecting apathy and self-centeredness.

In her follow‑up episode, “You've Answered the Question — ‘What Do You Want?' — Now What?” Jacquette gets real about being tired and how that fatigue can be a sign you're in what she calls “the waiting space.” A space that often arrives right on the edge of your breakthrough. She unpacks the swirl of emotions that live there (confidence, fear, courage, doubt, anxiety) and shares how to move through the waiting space without speeding up, shutting down, or giving up on what you want.Want More?

Gen Z - Desires by 2MFM

After nine seasons of Typology, Anthony and I thought we should revisit some of the basics.  This is the first episode of a five-part series we're calling Enneagram Essentials. Think of today as the front door — we cover the ground every listener needs, from how to find your type to how the Enneagram works in relationships, in faith, and in seasons of genuine suffering.  Then, in Episodes 2 through 5, we go deeper into the concepts that most Enneagram teaching glosses over: Basic Fears and Desires, Instincts, Subtypes, and Virtues. The four things that, in my experience, change everything once you actually understand them. Whether you found the Enneagram last week or you've been sitting with it for years, there's something in today's conversation for you.

It's okay to run away, but that doesn't heal you. In order to become strong enough to avoid temptation, you must be of a healed heart and mind. You must know who you are and you must have faith in God and in yourself to know that when your flesh rises up that you're strong! You must deal with your inner self and grow into that person of spiritual and mental maturity! Your flesh is weak but your spirit is always willing to do the right thing, the choice is yours!

Ever get angry watching corrupt people prosper while you're doing the right thing? You're not alone; David felt it too. In this message from Psalm 37, we explore the four ideas David cycles through again and again: stop fretting over the wicked, look to the future, focus on doing good, and delight in the Lord. Because the real question isn't just what you desire, it's whether your heart is beating in rhythm with God's.

What do teenagers actually want? In this episode of A Teen's Perspective, Dr. RJ dives deep into the real desires driving today's teens—beyond the surface-level assumptions adults often make. From the friendships that shape their world to the social pressures they navigate daily, Dr. RJ unpacks what truly matters to them. But there's one crucial thing most teens don't even realize they're craving… something that could completely transform family dynamics if parents understood it. If you're a parent trying to connect with your child, this episode offers ground breaking insights you won't want to miss. Discover the three things teenagers really want—and why the third one might be the game-changer no one sees coming.

Episode 287 – Satisfying Your DesiresWhat if the deepest satisfaction we crave isn't found in our next meal, our bank account, or even our most intimate relationships? This powerful exploration of Matthew 5:6 challenges us to examine where we're truly directing our hunger and thirst. Jesus promises that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled—completely satisfied at the deepest level of our being. But what does that actually mean for our daily lives? We're invited to recognize that every Christian has Holy Spirit-generated longings for what is right, true, and consistent with God's nature. These aren't just religious feelings—they're the very pulse of God within us, crying out for alignment with His heart. The message unpacks four dimensions of this righteous hunger: personal righteousness that can't tolerate sin in our own lives, relational righteousness that refuses to carry unforgiveness, undiluted righteousness that longs for our future glorification when we'll never sin again, and global righteousness that grieves over injustice and anticipates Christ's millennial reign. We're reminded that our grief over the world's brokenness isn't weakness—it's Holy Spirit longing through us for heaven's perfection to come to earth. The call isn't to fix the entire planet, but to steward our own spiritual journey by saying yes to Jesus and no to compromise, cultivating deeper hungers for God Himself rather than settling for temporary pleasures that never truly satisfy.

Al, Jase, and Zach call out the entitlement mindset that turns gifts into demands, and Zach traces how a me-first mindset can make comfort and success feel empty. The guys connect that cultural trap to Solomon's downfall, showing what happens when wealth, power, women, and success capture our desires. Jase takes aim at Western civilization's obsession with actors and celebrity culture, asking why we celebrate people for pretending to be someone else while ignoring the same kind of hypocrisy when in real life.

Listen to this week's sermon, Subversive Spirituality preached by Rev. Benjamin Kandt from Psalm 16.

Every day you face a battle between what is right and what feels good, and the choices you make will shape your future.

By Bill Conway Jr - This message focuses on the desires of the heart, whether good or bad. Is there something we should do with our desires to be pleasing to God? Is there a spiritual desire we should avoid? Most importantly, what does God desire for mankind?

"My emotions are a messenger, not a master." So wrote one of our listeners, and that refrain continues to pop up through the podcast, not just with our emotions but with our desires as well. Kyle shares how a false identity statement he had carried for years was exposed in a recent conversation with a friend. That invites them to pick up the thread of their conversation three weeks ago about the deep well of desire that exists in the human heart for a connection to God. Recognizing that deeper desire will help us see that most of our surface desires are attempts to fill a place they cannot fill.  So, how do we deal with unmet desire, or even the disappointment of having others sidetrack something beautiful God began through a community? And what if our unfulfilled desires are an invitation into a more spacious trust? Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast.

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.

Do you ever find yourself editing down your dreams before they even have a chance to take root? There is a tendency, especially among smart, capable women, to minimize what we actually want. We tell ourselves, "I don't need much, I'm fine," or we worry that having big ambitions somehow makes us greedy or ungrateful for what we already have. But wanting more doesn't mean you don't appreciate your life, it means your frequency is rising. In this episode, I'm feeling a little spicy, and we are getting entirely honest about Overcoming Playing Small. Wanting more is not a character flaw; it is a natural, soul-level wiring. Your soul came into this physical experience to expand, learn, and grow. When you dismiss your inner cravings for more rest, more support, more income, or a bigger impact, you aren't being humble, you are just holding yourself back. We dive into: *- Desires as Data: How to stop treating your wants as things to be edited, and instead view them as essential feedback showing you exactly where you are being called to expand. *- The "I'm Fine" Trap: Why we use minimization in our language, and how to accurately name the underlying boredom, antsiness, or dissatisfaction that signals a need for change. *- Ego Chasing vs. Soul-Aligned Ambition: Discerning the difference between a superficial push for status and the deep, authentic pull toward work and relationships that bring true joy and alignment. *- The Cost of Staying Small: Asking the tough, illuminating question of who in your life benefits when you dial down your brightness and choose to stay underemployed or unfulfilled. *- You have a soul business to want more, and you can stretch your arms wide for abundance while remaining a grounded, generous, and emotionally mature human being. If you are ready to stop shoulding on yourself, put down the editor's pen, and find the courage to say "I want," join me for this conversation. Let's identify that very first, concrete action step to move you toward the expansive life you are meant to live. --- Living in Clarity waitlist is up now!

In ancient times, the king was also the judge. He was the last point of appeal, acting as the supreme court of his day. It's no wonder the Psalmist cried out to Jehovah, his king, to avenge the earthly persecution of the weak and the helpless. On The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we'll be studying Psalm 94, as the Psalmist begs God to rise up in judgement against the evil of his day.

In this potent and activating episode of The Feminine Frequency Podcast, Amy Natalie sits down with embodiment expert, coach, and truth-teller Stephanie Redlener. After a soul-aligned, energetic meeting in the jungles of Nosara, Costa Rica, these two divine feminine leaders instantly recognized a shared mission: freeing women from their heads and welcoming them back into the sanctuary of their bodies.This deep-dive conversation pulls back the curtain on the profound difference between chasing logical, society-driven goals and claiming raw, embodied desires. Stephanie shares her raw personal journey of navigating grief and leadership simultaneously, highlighting how the ultimate "permission field" is created when women choose to heal out loud, together. From shifting out of hyper-independent isolation into the healing magic of sacred sisterhood, to unlocking the taboo power of erotic life force energy, this episode serves as an unfiltered invitation to stop running on empty and start fueling your life with the potent medicine of your own pleasure.Themes:The distinction between logic-based goals and authentic desires is found entirely in the body. True feminine transformation and freedom work thrive in the presence of other women. Authenticity in feminine leadership means leading from present truth rather than polished perfection. By choosing vulnerability and sharing the heavy burdens of the past with a trusted circle or community, the illusion of being alone is shattered, neutralizing the power of shame and creating a clear pathway to move forward.Knowing what one wants is not a static final destination, but an ever-evolving practice of curiosity and "pleasure research." Erotic life force energy extends far beyond sexual pleasure; it is pure, foundational vitality, intuition, and creative fire. SPECIAL OFFER:

Your brain estimates group consensus using a simple shortcut: the loudest voices repeated most often. On social media, that is 10% of users creating 80% of content.2. Belonging means being accepted for who you actually are. Fitting in means changing who you are to be accepted. 3. Authenticity is not about being perfectly accurate about who you are. It is about making choices you genuinely believe align with who you are right now.✨THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 43% off sitewidehttps://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfTry LMNT & get a free sample pack ___________00:00 Intro01:27 What Are Collective Illusions?02:05 The Cost of Self-Silencing05:06 How We're Hardwired to Conform07:40 Why the Brain Is Easily Fooled About Group Consensus09:13 Social Media and the Amplification of Fringe Views13:20 What Americans Actually Want in Private21:01 Who Profits from Keeping Us Divided23:52 Foreign Manipulation and AI Bot Farms29:37 The Most Consequential Collective Illusions36:38 What Authenticity Actually Means41:15 The Coming Age of Courage42:14 Belonging vs. Fitting In49:44 René Girard and Mimetic Desire59:43 How Collective Illusions Can Shatter Overnight1:05:58 The Velvet Revolution and the Power of Authenticity1:12:09 How to Build the Muscle of Living in Truth1:20:25 Todd's Personal Collective Illusion: Faith and Identity1:24:34 Spiritual Exploration and Holding Beliefs Lightly1:32:23 Certainty and Knowledge Are Inversely Correlated1:41:42 Fulfillment Over Achievement1:50:31 Small Actions That Raise Collective Consciousness___________✨MORE FROM TODD↳Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ltoddrose/↳Populace: https://populace.org↳https://www.toddrose.com/
