Podcasts about Dress

People mistakenly believe that the concept of modest dress is relevant only to women, whereas men can dress in any way they like. This is incorrect. There are certain restrictions on dress that apply to men. The basic principle is that one must realize that he is constantly in the presence of G-d. Even when a person is in the privacy of his home, and even alone in his bedroom, he must be cognizant of the fact that Hashem fills the earth and accompanies him at all times. King Shaul was praised for his high standards of modesty, as he went into a dark cave to perform his bodily functions, and even inside the cave, he exposed himself only as needed, out of an awareness of G-d's presence. Accordingly, the Shulhan Aruch rules that a person must put something on before getting out of the bed in the morning. Long ago, people would sleep under their blankets unclothed, and the Shulhan Aruch writes that before a person steps out of bed, he should put his garment on under his blankets so he will not be exposed upon leaving his bed. This applies even if the room is dark, as Hashem can see even in the dark. The Poskim debate the question of whether the Shulhan Aruch intended this instruction as an actual Halachic requirement, or only as an admirable practice, a measure of piety that is recommended for the sake of demonstrating one's awareness of G-d's omnipresence. Rav Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986) maintained that there is no strict halachic obligation for a man to avoid being exposed in private, and the Shulhan Aruch's ruling was written only as a recommended practice, a proper mode of behavior for a G-d-fearing individual. By contrast, the Mishneh Halachot (Rav Menashe Klein, 1923-2011) maintained that this law constitutes an outright Halachic obligation, as the straightforward reading of the Shulhan Aruch and other sources suggests. Likewise, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that according to some Rishonim, these laws are required on the level of Torah law, and so they should be strictly observed. Nowadays, of course, people generally wear pajamas or undergarments when sleeping, so the Shulhan Aruch's instructions would apply in our time to changing one's clothes under the blanket, so that his private parts are not exposed. Many people would naturally find this difficult. Hacham David Yosef, in Halacha Berura, accepts Rav Moshe Feinstein's lenient position, that these guidelines were not presented as actual Halachic requirements, and so he rules that they may be suspended if they would cause considerable discomfort. Thus, if somebody finds it very difficult to get dressed under the blanket, this is not necessary. Hacham David writes that this was the position taken by his father, Hacham Ovadia Yosef. In fact, Rav Moshe himself ruled leniently if dressing under the blanket would take too much time, or if one cannot dress neatly in this fashion. Nevertheless, Rav Haim Kanievsky (1928-2022) taught that one who ensures not to expose his private parts while getting changed is worthy of special blessing. Rav Moshe adds that when walking about, a man must dress in a manner in which he would not feel ashamed appearing before ordinary people. When it comes to Tefila, one must dress in a way he would when greeting a prominent figure. At all other times, Rav Moshe writes, it suffices to dress in a manner that is not embarrassing. One's private parts, however, must of course always remain covered. Rav Haim Kanievsky took a more stringent position, writing that one must ensure not to expose his arms above the elbows, or his legs above his knees. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998) wrote that since people in modern society do not walk about barefoot, one should refrain from doing so even in his home. In fact, the Mishna Berura writes that since the feet are normally covered, it is proper to put one's socks on before getting out of bed in order not to expose his feet. The Piskeh Teshubot concluded that one may walk about barefoot in his home under hot weather conditions, when covering the feet is uncomfortable. However, even the Mishna Berura conceded that in Mediterranean countries, where many people walk about barefoot, it is permissible to do so. It thus stands to reason that the guiding principle is the accepted practice in any given locale. In communities where it is not deemed acceptable to walk about with exposed feet, or in short sleeves or shorts, one should abide by the community's standards. In places where these modes of dress are acceptable, then they are allowed. Indeed, Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that one is allowed even to pray wearing very short sleeves or short pants if this mode of dress is accepted in his community (though he added that a person dressed this way should not serve as Hazan). Likewise, despite the Mishna Berura's aforementioned ruling that one should put on his socks before getting out of bed, numerous later Poskim – including the Hazon Ish, the Steipler Gaon, and Hacham Ovadia Yosef – ruled leniently in this regard. This is likely due to the fact that it has become more acceptable to walk about with sandals without socks, and thus exposing one's feet is no longer considered undignified. By the same token, a man may take off his shirt when swimming in a pool or at the beach, as this is the accepted mode of dress in these areas. However, some Poskim ruled that if one is not swimming at the beach, but is playing ball or walking, he should wear a shirt. A man who goes to the Mikveh should not walk about the Mikveh unclothed, and should instead cover himself with a towel or robe on his way to and from the water. Some Poskim allow one to be unclothed in a restroom that has a bath or shower, as such a room has the status of a Bet Ha'merhatz (bathhouse), where it is permissible to be unclothed. Others, however, rule that this is not allowed unless one is planning to bathe. Summary: Men, like women, must adhere to appropriate standards of modest dress. The basic rule is that one must dress in a manner that is deemed respectable and dignified in the place where he is. In some communities, it is inappropriate to walk about in shorts, whereas in others this is allowed. At the beach or swimming pool, a man may remove his shirt. Nowadays it is generally deemed acceptable in most communities to wear sandals without socks, so this is permitted. When one needs to expose himself – such as when dressing, when bathing, when using the restroom, or in a Mikveh – one should expose himself only to the extent necessary, remaining cognizant of G-d's presence.

I'm at the airport on my way to an award ceremony in Los Angeles. Next to me, in a garment bag, I have the gown Ipurchased for the red carpet that will be a part of this event. It wasn't easy to find this gown and the process made me think a lot about the way these kinds of clothes are categorized. I learned about a category I'd never encountered before: The Mother of the Bride dress.To read ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MOB Dress⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.

In this week's episode, Carol Schultz sits down with Beth Goff- McMillan, CEO of SKG and founder/CEO of FOLIO, to dig into how office design has completely transformed since COVID—and why most companies are stuck in what Beth calls a "vortex of confusion" about what their workspace should even be.Beth shares 30 years of industry insight on the shift from rigid cubicle layouts to fully open offices to today's hybrid chaos, and explains why the real question leaders need to ask isn't "what furniture do we buy" but "why do we even need an office." They get into what makes employees actually want to come back in (hint: it's not ping pong tables), the most expensive and most overlooked design mistakes companies make, and how a simple employee survey can save a business tens of thousands of dollars. The episode wraps with a look at FOLIO, the tech platform Beth built to drag a notoriously slow-moving industry into the SaaS era.TakeawaysMost leaders are stuck on "what" to put in their office instead of asking "why" they need an office at all.Return-to-office policies alone don't drive engagement or productivity—you need clear KPIs tied to purpose.Employee surveys (before AND after a redesign) can prevent massively expensive, unused investments.Noise and acoustics should be the #1 design priority post-COVID—people need more visual/sound barriers, not fewer.Gimmicks like ping pong and shuffleboard tables rarely get used and often signal a lack of real design intent.Storage and file cabinets are some of the most expensive—and most unnecessary—line items in office design."Resi-mercial" design (home-like textures, plants, varied seating) makes employees feel more connected and productive.Large conference rooms often go underused—flexible lounge spaces can replace them entirely.Workplace design decisions involve far more stakeholders than people expect: C-suite, facilities, HR, IT, and legal.The furniture/design industry is still behind on technology—and AI-driven tools are starting to close that gap.Chapters00:00 Intro: How office spaces have transformed since COVID01:49 What SKG actually does (workplace strategy, design, furniture procurement)03:10 30 years of office evolution: from Dilbert cubicles to fully open floors05:33 The "vortex of confusion"—why nobody has a playbook anymore07:07 Shifting the conversation from "what" to "why"09:24 Three things every workspace needs to succeed post-COVID11:29 "I wanted to earn their commute"—how design changed employee behavior12:48 Why noise and acoustics should be priority #114:21 Dress codes, client expectations, and reading the room16:17 Two things to leave out of your office (gimmicks & excess storage)18:41 Bringing "resi-mercial" design into the workplace23:11 Who SKG actually meets with—from CEOs to facilities to legal25:19 The survey that saved a client from a costly coffee bar mistake28:21 Redesigning SKG's own HQ: what worked and what didn't33:04 The privacy/acoustics fail—and how they fixed it36:47 Why Beth joined SKG and what keeps her there 11 years later39:03 Folio: building the first SaaS tool for the furniture dealership industry43:11 Current bottlenecks: training talent in a fast-changing industry45:00 Final thoughtsConnect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?

Between Two Voices: Understanding Code-Switching   Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're talking about code-switching. A couple of episodes ago, my panel and I were talking about intersectionality, this phrase come up and, I have to admit, I hadn't heard it before. It's one of the things I love about Blended, it always throws up something new. And I thought that, if it was new to me, it might be new to some of you as well. So we wanted to give code-switching its own deep dive. Today we'll be talking about what it means, why it happens, the hidden toll of sacrificing personal authenticity to fit in – and what we can do to create inclusive environments for everyone.  IN THIS EPISODE:   [00.54] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·         Leah – Author ·         Jeff – Community Consultant and Executive Producer and Host of Beats, Rhymes y Comunidad podcast ·         Dr Lola – ERG Strategist and Founder and Executive Director at Immigrants in Corporate  [06.22] The group explore what code-switching means and why it happens, and share some personal examples.   ·         Inauthenticity ·         Altered: o   Mannerisms o   Dress o   Language o   Body Language Context ·         Perception ·         Acceptance ·         Bias ·         Conscious/unconscious ·         Professionalism/credibility   ·         Intent ·         Stigma ·         'Cookie cutter' mold in the workplace ·         Archetypes – European white male centric   ·         Patriarchy ·         Impact of 'casual' tech CEO's ·         Raising children to code-switch ·         Awareness ·         Generational differences ·         Accountability ·         Too much, or not enough ·         Socioeconomic impact ·         Exhaustion ·         Diversity ·         Normalization ·         Fear of change – what are you really afraid of? ·         Ignorance ·         Courage to call things out   "It's how you alter the way you show up, whether it's in a conversation or an environment, from your mannerisms, your body language, the way you dress. Anything that's an inauthentic version of yourself that you're presenting in an effort to gain approval or acceptance." Jeff "I was raised on it… It was expected of us. This is what you do to adjust, to do the best you can to eliminate bias and assimilate into what's acceptable." Leah "It's changing. I'm being more intentional about creating a code of my own, because there's been too much stigma around how we show up – especially in the workplace." Jeff  "It's a burden, a backpack of rocks. But, after a while, we get used to it." Leah "As a black woman in America, you can't talk about this without talking about race and gender… Sometimes code-switching becomes armor… but it's exhausting." Dr Lola "Sometimes when we think about change it can get so big that you retreat, it almost feels impossible. Then I realized it just had to start with me... If you check yourself each time you're afraid and ask yourself, 'what about that bothers me so much?,' then you're creating an atmosphere that allows people to be themselves." Leah   [42.13] The panel reflect on the mental health impacts of code-switching, and how it shows up in community. ·         Identity ·         Shrinking yourself ·         Belonging ·         Code-switching with ill-intent ·         Recognition ·         Permission ·         Setting the tone ·         Culture ·         Forcing people to conform   "We talk about the word belong, but we don't actually interrogate what that requires." Jeff "How do we attract a different culture? If people are code-switching – intentionally or unintentionally – it's because something about that environment has told them they need to." Dr Lola   [57.19] The group discuss responsibility and who should take ownership of code-switching.    ·         Leadership ·         Safe spaces ·         Empathy ·         Grace ·         Understanding ·         Support ·         Curiosity ·         Allyship ·         Boundaries ·         Education ·         Open dialogue ·         Power ·         Visibility   "The leader has a responsibility to set the tone. I think, as individuals, we're always going to need to code-switch to a certain extent, but you shouldn't have to code-switch consistently, to your detriment." Dr Lola   [01.06.56] The panel share ideas for what leaders can do to tackle code-switching in the workplace.   ·         Training ·         Impact of AI ·         Shift focus to individual ·         Consistency ·         Vulnerability ·         Ability to get it wrong   [01.18.52] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Leah, Jeff and Dr Lola over on LinkedIn.

This Week, Pastor Mike explores Romans 13:11-14 to help us understand the present time. The Apostle Paul calls believers to wake up from slumber and cast off the deeds of darkness. Using a beautiful sunrise at Deception Pass as a metaphor, Mike illustrates how we must choose to dress for the dawning day rather than cling to the patterns of the night. This transition requires shifting our mindset away from temporary self-gratification and learning to put on the Lord Jesus Christ.How do we navigate temptations like excess, ambition, and jealousy in a culture driven by constant consumption? Watch this video to discover how surrendering our carnal appetites leads to a deeper, truer satisfaction in Christ.Want to connect with us? Click Here: https://tinyurl.com/accnextsteps

From the time she was a little girl, Hayley Paige knew exactly what she wanted to do: design wedding dresses. And she did it. By her early thirties she had a million Instagram followers, a recurring spot on Say Yes to the Dress, and gowns selling in hundreds of stores worldwide. And then she lost all of it. Her name. Her Instagram. Her right to design. Even her right to publicly call herself Hayley Paige. What followed was years of fighting in court, broke, locked out of everything she had built, just to reclaim what should have been hers from the start. And when she finally did, she turned that experience into something bigger, founding A Girl You Might Know Foundation and She Is Cheval to make sure other women don't have to go through the same thing.

This episode is about more than food. It's about understanding why we reach for certain foods, creating a realistic off-ramp from ultra-processed eating, and giving your body a chance to reset. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still struggling with weight, energy, inflammation, or cravings, this episode is for you.   Citation: Hall, Kevin D., et al. “Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake.” Cell Metabolism, vol. 30, no. 1, 2019, pp. 67–77.e3. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2019.05.008 — This is the cornerstone. Same calories, sugar, fat, fiber, and macros on both diets; people ate ~500 kcal/day more on the ultra-processed one and gained weight. It's the strongest evidence that the processing, not just the nutrients, changes intake. Why fat + sugar together hijack reward more than either alone (the “hyperpalatable” mechanism) DiFeliceantonio, Alexandra G., et al. “Supra-Additive Effects of Combining Fat and Carbohydrate on Food Reward.” Cell Metabolism, vol. 28, no. 1, 2018, pp. 33–44.e3. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2018.05.018 McDougle, Molly, et al. “Separate Gut-Brain Circuits for Fat and Sugar Reinforcement Combine to Promote Overeating.” Cell Metabolism, vol. 36, no. 2, 2024, pp. 393–407. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2023.12.014 — Together these support your point that engineered fat-plus-sugar foods (the Doritos idea) light up reward pathways more than natural foods, because fat and sugar run on separate gut-brain circuits that combine. Why “glycemic velocity” matters — hidden refined starches like maltodextrin Hofman, Denise L., et al. “Nutrition, Health, and Regulatory Aspects of Digestible Maltodextrins.” Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, vol. 56, no. 12, 2016, pp. https://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2014.940415 — Supports the egg-bite/maltodextrin point: maltodextrin is a refined starch with a glycemic index around 85–110, higher than table sugar, hiding on labels as “modified food starch.” Backs your “what the calories came from” framing. Why these foods genuinely relieve stress (your central, original thesis) Ulrich-Lai, Yvonne M., et al. “Pleasurable Behaviors Reduce Stress via Brain Reward Pathways.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, vol. 107, no. 47, 2010, pp. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1007740107 Tomiyama, A. Janet, et al. “Comfort Food Is Comforting to Those Most Stressed: Evidence of the Chronic Stress Response Network in High Stress Women.” Psychoneuroendocrinology, vol. 36, no. 10, 2011, pp. 1513–1519. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2011.04.005 — This is the science behind “the food was doing something right.” Palatable food measurably dampens the HPA (cortisol) stress axis through reward pathways — which is exactly why pulling it without replacing the stress tool fails. Why cravings are state-dependent and rise with stress (the “urge depends on the state of your blood / stress level” claim) Adam, Tanja C., and Elissa S. Epel. “Stress, Eating and the Reward System.” Physiology & Behavior, vol. 91, no. 4, 2007, pp. 449–458. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2007.04.011 Darcey, Valerie L., et al. “Brain Dopamine Responses to Ultra-Processed Milkshakes Are Highly Variable and Not Significantly Related to Adiposity in Humans.” Cell Metabolism, vol. 37, no. 3, 2025, pp. 616–628. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2025.02.002  (edited)      WHAT TO EAT FOR THE NEXT SIX WEEKS — Protein. Plant. Potato. (P³) The formula for every meal: one protein + one plant + one starch (potato, or beans and rice). Add fat — olive oil, butter, avocado, cheese, nuts. Add flavor — salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, vinegar, salsa, hot sauce, herbs. This is not the meal you dreamed of. This is the meal that sets you free. BREAKFAST Eggs + sautéed vegetables + fruit on the side Plain Greek yogurt + berries + a handful of nuts Leftover chicken or beef + potato + vegetables (last night's dinner works) LUNCH Chicken + roasted potato + green salad with olive oil and lemon Tuna + white beans + cucumber + tomato, dressed with olive oil and vinegar Beef + potato + peppers + salsa DINNER Sheet-pan chicken + potatoes + green beans Instant Pot chicken + potato + a vegetable Burger patty (no bun) + potato + salad Batch chili (beef + beans + tomato) over rice Baked fish + sweet potato + roasted broccoli Pork + beans and rice + sautéed greens THE DURESS PLATE — for when the day collapses One protein + one plant + one starch, zero cooking. Examples: • Hard-boiled eggs + apple + handful of nuts • Tuna + canned beans + cucumber, with olive oil • Pre-cooked/frozen ground beef + frozen vegetables + microwave potato • String cheese + fruit + a few nuts (in a real pinch) SIMPLE RECIPES Sheet-Pan Chicken & Potatoes (serves 4) Toss chicken thighs and quartered baby potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic. Roast at 425°F (220°C) ~35–40 min. Add green beans for the last 15 min. Batch Chili (serves 6) Brown 2 lb ground beef with chopped onion. Add 2 cans diced tomatoes, 2 cans beans (drained), garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt. Simmer 30+ min. Freezes well — make once, eat all week. Serve over rice. Instant Pot Chicken Chicken breasts + ½ cup broth + salt, garlic, paprika. Pressure cook 10 min, natural release 5. Shred. Pairs with any potato + vegetable. The 5-Minute Tuna Bean Bowl Can of tuna + can of white beans (rinsed) + diced cucumber and tomato. Dress with olive oil, lemon or vinegar, salt, pepper. Microwave Potato, Done Right Pierce a potato, microwave 5–7 min. Split, add butter or olive oil, salt, pepper. The reliable, universal starch. Remember: Don't aim for one perfect week repeated six times. Just follow the basic protocol the best you can for six weeks. When a craving hits, run the nine-minute interrupt from Episode 14.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona.

In this episode of Leading Through Crisis, host Céline Williams sits down with Tracy Nolan, a Fortune 50 Senior Executive and global Board Leader with deep expertise in regulated industries, including healthcare and telecommunications.

Her philosophy? Jump in (beyond the operational checklist, beyond what the job description says), and treat your people the way you'd want to be treated. In this conversation, Tracy shares: - Why most leaders fail at crisis communication (and what to do instead) - How she ran "no-canned-questions" listening sessions that changed the way her teams trusted her - The "CEO for a day" roundtable method she uses to stay connected to frontline reality - Why feedback is a gift, regardless of your title - A powerful trust exercise every leader should do with their team today If you're a leader, executive, or manager who wants to build an organization that can not only survive a crisis but thrive through one, this episode is essential listening. — Tracy Nolan is a Fortune 50 senior executive and global board leader with deep experience in regulated industries, including healthcare and telecommunications.

Have you ever wondered why your brain feels like it's working against you when actually, it might just be waiting for you to understand it?This week I'm joined by Dr. Hannah Critchlow, neuroscientist, Cambridge University researcher, and author of 21st Century Brain, and this conversation genuinely shifted something for me.Hannah has a way of taking the science of your brain and making it feel like something you can actually use, today. Not in a "10 steps to fix yourself" way.What we explore together:Why does your brain fear uncertainty more than pain itself, and what does that mean for how you handle stress and change?Did you know emotional intelligence is a bigger predictor of life satisfaction than IQ, and that it can actually be trained?How is your gut shaping your mood, your empathy, and even how kind you are to complete strangers?What are sleep, nutrition, and movement really doing for your brain, and why do amino acids matter so much at night?Why is walking in nature one of the most underrated tools for emotional regulation?What does the rise of AI relationships mean for real human connection, and what are we at risk of losing?Why is curiosity our greatest superpower, and how do we protect it?Love, Sarah Ann

Emily in Paris isn't just fashion fantasy—it's a bold, maximalist manifesto for color, confidence, and dressing without rules. Costume designer Marylin Fitoussi joins Voice of Costume for a joyful, fashion-filled deep dive into the Netflix phenomenon Emily in Paris, created by Darren Star and starring Lily Collins. Marylin shares how legendary Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field chose her for the series, opening the door to a liberating creative world where "we don't care about reality" became permission to embrace color, print, vintage, couture, maximalism, and unapologetic self-expression. Marylin discusses the evolution of Emily Cooper's style—from a young American "fish out of water" in Paris to a more mature, powerful, fashion-forward woman who absorbs French chic without losing her bold individuality. She reveals the intense fitting process with Lily Collins, including trying over 100 looks in two days, designing iconic runway moments, building custom pieces, mixing high fashion with affordable brands, young designers, niche labels, vintage treasures, statement coats, and oversized jewelry. This episode is a must-listen for fans of Emily in Paris fashion, Paris style, Lily Collins, Patricia Field, Darren Star, Netflix fashion, costume design, maximalist style, and anyone who believes clothes can express personality, joy, confidence, and freedom. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design.

Jack asks: "Hi Murray Do we have enough information to actually describe how the Huns were dressed for war? Did they look much the same as the Goths or other migration era peoples? Is it a misconception to think they looked anything like the later Mongols? Did they go in for bright or rich fabrics in their panoply, like other Warrior cultures? I've heard that they were keen to get their hands on silk fabric, did they then wear this into battle?   Join us on Patreon patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast

Feeling like you have nothing to wear often stems from a disconnect with your evolving body and lifestyle. My chat with Angela Foster illuminated how personal style is more about authenticity than trends. We discussed the importance of understanding your body shape and dressing for your current life phase, rather than an idealized image. Angela's approach is about crafting a wardrobe reflecting your true self and simplifying your daily routine. By focusing less on fleeting trends and more on what resonates personally, you transform your closet into a space that supports who you are, enhancing both confidence and ease.
