Podcasts about Dry January

Lors d'un “date”, il est assez courant de prendre un verre dans un bar. En France, cette habitude est très ancrée dans nos habitudes et dans notre culture. Pour beaucoup, l'alcool permet de se détendre, de discuter plus et de rendre l'atmosphère moins gênante. Pourtant, aujourd'hui, une tendance inverse commence à émerger : le “dry dating”.  Pourquoi est-ce si courant de boire de l'alcool lors d'un date ? Qu'est-ce-que signifie le “dry dating” ? Quelles sont les raisons qui poussent les jeunes à se tourner vers ce nouveau mode de “date” ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant, vous savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals écrit et réalisé par Magalie Bertet. À écouter ensuite : Comment les drogues et l'alcool influencent-ils nos comportements sur la route ? À partir de combien de verres est-on alcoolique ? Dry January : les Français consomment-ils trop d'alcool ? Retrouvez tous les épisodes de "Maintenant vous savez". Suivez Bababam sur Instagram.

Jon (The Tired Dad) is back with a sobriety update — now 3+ years sober. We talk Dry January to kick things off and why the first year can be the hardest, why moderation didn't work, parenting as the turning point, and how to build real tools instead of masking emotions. Plus, Jon shares the story behind his upcoming book 100 Reflections on Showing Up for What Matters Most. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dry January always gets me thinking about how poorly the event industry still does when it comes to inclusive beverage experiences. At one event where I was speaking about inclusive dining, everyone at the table was served sake at dinner that night. One guest quietly pulled me aside and said, "This is exactly what you were talking about." He doesn't drink. Neither do I. And in that moment, we were both left out of the toast. The same thing happens when wine is part of the experience. So the question becomes: what happens when a guest isn't drinking alcohol? This week on Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE, I'm joined by Rachel M., a second-generation wine producer and the co-founder and author of AFNA Wine Certified™—the world's first professional certification dedicated to alcohol-free and non-alcoholic wine. Rachel brings more than 20 years of experience spanning vineyard development, winemaking, distribution, hospitality, and education. She's also the Founder & CEO of Oceano Wines | Oceano Zero and its luxury non-alcoholic line—showing that non-alcoholic wine can (and should) be treated with the same care, intention, and credibility as traditional wine. We're talking about what safe, sustainable, and inclusive beverage programs really look like in hotels, convention centers, restaurants, and even meetings and events—especially when alcohol isn't a given. We'll cover: ▶ Why non-alcoholic wine is often misunderstood or mis-served ▶ How labeling, alcohol transparency, and staff education directly impact guest safety ▶ What it looks like when NA wine is integrated into pairings, receptions, and banquet programs—without feeling like an afterthought ▶ Why this conversation isn't about removing alcohol, but expanding choice, loyalty, and revenue If you're planning events, managing beverage programs, or serving guests during Dry January (and beyond), this conversation will change how you think about what's in the glass. Join us LIVE. Bring your questions. Share what you're seeing in your own programs. Let's raise the bar—without needing alcohol to do it.

It's another round of great beer, good company, and stories that only happen when the mics are on.

And thanks again to Esthela, President of the San Diego Brewers Guild, for joining us on the Capital of Craft segment. Plus: Toasts, roasts, a questionable quicksand warning, and a competitive round of Beer or Not a Beer. Pull up a barstool and join us.

Alors que 2025 a été une mauvaise année pour le whisky, 2026 pourrait s'annoncer semblable, voire pire. Depuis trois ans, la boisson écossaise perd chaque année une part de son chiffre d'affaires. En cause : la diminution de la consommation d'alcool dans le monde, et en particulier celle des jeunes générations, mais il y a aussi les taxes douanières états-uniennes, premier pays d'exportation du whisky écossais. De 10 % en 2025, elles sont passées à 15 % la semaine dernière. Ces atermoiements économiques de Donald Trump mettent à mal une industrie vitale pour l'Écosse et lucrative pour Londres. Dans un des entrepôts de la distillerie Fettercairn, dans les Highlands, des milliers de barils vieillissent 16, 22, voire 46 ans avant d'être mis en bouteille. Ce whisky, qui vient de fêter son 200e anniversaire est parti à l'assaut des États-Unis l'an dernier avec ses productions les plus rares, et ce malgré les taxes douanières imposées par Donald Trump « On s'est lancé aux États-Unis avec des whisky de plus de 24 ans. Donc nos bouteilles de 24, 28, 40, 46 ans. Et honnêtement ça a vraiment bien marché et nos whiskies ont reçu de bonnes critiques », dit Stewart Walker, responsable de la distillerie. Avec des prix allant de 675 livres, qui peuvent rapidement monter à 3 450, 9 000, et 20 000 livres, la marque a ciblé les États les plus riches avec des clients qui pouvaient se permettre 10 % de plus sur ces prix déjà élevés : New York, la Californie, et la Floride. Cette année, Fettercairn tente le reste du catalogue, dont le premier prix est à 60 dollars. Mais d'autres exportateurs de whisky ont beaucoup plus de difficultés. Le géant Diageo - qui possède les marques Johnny Walker ou Talisker - a réduit sa production à cause du recul de la demande. Au sein du groupe Suntory, deux distilleries (Laphroaig et Bowmore) ont même ouvert des plans de départ volontaire. En cause : une baisse de la consommation d'alcool dans le monde et la baisse significative des ventes de whisky écossais aux États-Unis. « Nous avons évidemment subi l'imposition des nouvelles taxes de 10 % en avril dernier, explique Emily Weaver Roads qui fait partie de l'association écossaise du whisky. Depuis cette date, nos exportations de whisky ont chuté de 15 % en volume. Les grandes distilleries ont des investissements et des connexions importantes aux États-Unis, mais nos petits producteurs ont aussi des employés et des investissements aux États-Unis. Alors, ces taxes ont un impact en particulier sur les plus petits producteurs pour qui les États-Unis sont vraiment un marché essentiel », explique-t-elle. À lire aussiEn Écosse, les droits de douane états-uniens inquiètent le marché du whisky « Parler de crise dans l'industrie du whisky est un peu fort » Reste que, selon Carolyn Watt, qui travaille pour le groupe Whyte and Mackay, derrière la distillerie de Fettercairn, la crise n'est peut-être que conjoncturelle : « Parler de crise dans l'industrie du whisky est un peu fort. Je pense que cela a ralenti, mais avec le Covid-19, les ventes étaient au plus haut, et peut-être que des gens pensaient que cela allait toujours durer, et du coup ils ressentent une crise. Mais je pense que l'on retourne à un niveau plus stable. Vous savez, c'est une industrie du long terme. Même si on a des fluctuations, il faut toujours penser sur 20 ans. » Mais pour les distilleries qui n'exportent pas outre-Atlantique, là aussi les temps sont durs. La distillerie de Angus, à Dundee, a annoncé une perte de 25 % de son chiffre d'affaires, par exemple. Les ventes ont beau augmenter, mais les taxes britanniques ont, elles, triplé. Ces taxes représentent aujourd'hui 70 % du prix d'une bouteille de whisky. À lire aussi«Dry January»: le marché mondial de l'alcool face à un tournant économique historique

The pack mentality isn't going away anytime soon in craft brewing.    The Oregon Beverage Collective (OBC) – the tie up of Crux Fermentation Project, Cascade Lakes Brewing, Silver Moon Brewing, Goodlife Brewing and Tumalo Cider – launched a couple of weeks ago as one of the latest additions to this crowd.   OBC president Andy Rhine joined the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast to share how those five brands are looking to build strength in numbers.   Rhine explained that OBC's formation wasn't out of necessity even in a Pacific Northwest market facing challenges through distributor consolidation. Instead, the collective's foundation was built via long-time relationships among brewery owners in Bend. And it was those relationships that led to Rhine acquiring Crux in a separate deal from founders Larry Sidor and Paul Evers.    Even with a portfolio of five brands and efforts to consolidate production, sales and marketing, Rhine said maintaining each brand's "unique identity" will be key to the future of the collective. The conversation also covered Rhine's view of OBC's future and whether more members will be added to its ranks.    Before the interview, Justin and Zoe break down the latest headlines, including the fallout from Dry January, the Brewers Association's 2025 financial results, Tilray's licensing deal with Carlsberg, the Left Hand Collective's newest member and the Supreme Court's ruling on reciprocal tariffs.  

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped drinking, even just for a month? In this episode, I'm sharing my honest experience with Dry January for moms, how it unexpectedly turned into 60+ days alcohol-free, and what I learned about sleep, weight loss, hormones, ADHD, and motherhood along the way. If you've ever used wine to unwind… struggled to lose weight… or questioned your relationship with alcohol, this conversation is for you. What to Listen For: Why alcohol was disrupting my sleep (and how better sleep boosted my energy almost instantly) The surprising connection between ADHD and alcohol consumption Why one night of drinking can impact your hormones and cravings the next day How alcohol affects leptin and ghrelin (your hunger and fullness hormones) The real impact of alcohol on weight loss and metabolism How alcohol can stall postpartum fitness and health goals What moms need to know about alcohol and breastfeeding How to approach Dry January for moms without extreme or all-or-nothing rules Dry January and taking a break from alcohol  for moms isn't about restriction. It's about awareness with your relationship with alcohol and when you use it.  If you're feeling exhausted, stuck in your weight loss journey, struggling with cravings, or just not feeling like yourself… this episode will help you reflect on whether alcohol is helping or hurting your goals. If this resonated with you, share it with another mama. And if you're ready to feel energized, balanced, and confident again after having kids, join my free workshop linked below.

In a total U-turn ó eip na seachtaine seo caite, táimid ag caint faoi Lent san eagrán seo! Beidh tús á chur leis an gCarghas (nó 40 Hard) amárach, agus táimid ag iarraidh é a phlé - cad iad na cúiseanna a mbíonn daoine á dhéanamh, cad iad na pleananna atá ag ár n-éisteoirí lena aghaidh, agus an rud maith é an struchtúr a thugann an Carghas dúinn, fiú muna bhfuil tú religious? Agus cinnte, tugaimid Lenten challenges dá chéile. Tá Doireann disgusted fós with how Dry January has wrecked her grá for an oíche fhada ar an ól, so don't be expecting her to be going off the drink again, ach beidh check-ins rialta ar an bpod - hold us accountable!

Today's episode is a little different.I'm joined by one of my clients, Moira, now a graduate of my 1:1 coaching programme. Listen in as we talk about what it's really like to be successful on paper but quietly exhausted by the mental battle around drinking. We cover how alcohol became a release valve, why Dry January and periods of abstinence never quite solved it, and the moment Moira realised the problem wasn't the alcohol itself but the constant thinking about it.You'll hear Moira's honest views on abstinence language, moderation rules, and why neither felt right for her. We talk about planning, discomfort, boredom, and how creating space changed everything. Not just her relationship with alcohol, but how she feels in her life. This episode is for anyone wondering, will this work for me, and is it worth it. If you're looking for mental freedom and a personalised approach, tune in. And if you want support creating this for yourself, it starts with booking a free consultation call with me.Before we get started, I want to let you know about a free training I'm hosting on 19 February called How to Care Less About What Other People Think When You Say No to Wine. It's about navigating social situations without overthinking, stepping out of the what-if spiral, and feeling steady in your choices even when other people have opinions.The training is live at 1pm Central, 2pm Eastern, and 7pm UK time. If worries about awkwardness, judgment, or explaining yourself make it harder to drink less, this will help.

Text and Be HeardWhat happens after dry January ends and the Super Bowl confetti settles? We dig into the emotional mechanics that fuel alcohol and gambling habits and show why white-knuckling a month of abstinence won't create the freedom you actually want. You'll hear a clear, practical shift: move from chasing quick highs to building a life powered by natural dopamine, honest routines, and character change that lasts.We challenge the common myths—alcohol as a social must, betting as entertainment—and lay out what they really cost in money, sleep, energy, and self-respect. From there, we walk through spiritual principles like honesty, courage, and discipline as daily practices, not just ideals. You'll learn how self-guided tools and step-based frameworks transform vague intentions into specific actions, and why support—therapy, coaching, faith mentors, and community—acts as the multiplier for growth. Instead of cycling from football to basketball to baseball bets, we offer a map for redirecting your attention toward health, relationships, purpose, and financial stability.Along the way, we share personal insights on finding peace and replacing late-night bets with mornings that matter—gym sessions, focused work, real connection. The goal isn't a perfect streak; it's a steady heart and a free mind. If you're ready to redefine your relationship with alcohol and gambling, anchor your days in routines that compound, and step toward deeper love, wealth, and spiritual connection, this conversation is your on-ramp.

In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I break down the 3 emotional phases of change that almost everyone experiences when trying to change their relationship with alcohol and why most women think they're failing when they're actually right on track. You'll learn why motivation and excitement don't last, why the middle phase of resistance and fatigue is where most people give up, and how real, lasting change happens through integration and identity shift, not willpower. This episode will help you: Understand why Dry January (or any break from alcohol) often feels harder toward the end Recognize whether you're in motivation, resistance, or integration right now Stop judging yourself for feeling tired, bored, or frustrated Learn why white-knuckling doesn't work and what actually does Build self-trust and emotional resilience without labels, shame, or rigid rules If you've ever thought “I can't wait for this to be over,” “Why is this suddenly so hard?” or “Maybe I'm just not cut out for this,” this episode will help you see what's really happening and why it matters. This conversation is for women who are sober curious, cutting back on alcohol, taking a break, or exploring a healthier relationship with drinking and with themselves. Ready for deeper support?

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!"Dry January", "Sober Curious", "taking a break" - does any of this sound familiar? Many of us have questioned our relationship to alcohol, whether because of a rough morning after a night of debauchery, just because, or for any number of reasons. Our guest, Suzanne Warye, had her own reasons for stopping drinking. She writes about her experience in her new book The Sober Shift: A Moder-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life. In sharing her sober journey, Suzanne also provides helpful information and tools along with stories of other women's journeys with sobriety. Our conversation with Suzanne is hopeful, helpful, and full of compassion and humor. Where to find Suzanne Wayre:Instagram: @suzannewayre, @thesobermomlifePodcast: The Sober Mom LifeBook: The Sober ShiftSupport the showBe part of the conversation by sharing your thoughts about this episode, what you may have learned, how the conversation affected you.

We dive deep into the transition from a high-energy brand launch to the sustainable "brand-building" phase, exploring how BERO stays agile while scaling globally. From the strategic selection of experiential activations to the power of community panels in a crowded market, Jackie shares her 11+ years of expertise on how to turn a culturally relevant trend into a lasting premium brand.Key Takeaways:// The Dry January Timeline: Why planning for the non-alc industry's biggest month starts months in advance and how to execute a campaign-level strategy that cuts through the noise.// Post-Launch Evolution: How to pivot your marketing strategy once the initial "newness" wears off and focus on long-term optimization.// Agility in Leadership: Jackie's secrets to keeping a marketing team motivated and nimble during the shift from "launch mode" to "growth mode."// The Experiential Filter: A look at BERO's 2025 strategy and the specific criteria used to decide which events are worth the investment.// Credibility via Community: How to use panels and community-building to establish trust and authority as a newcomer in a highly competitive CPG category.// Translating Trends: How to identify cultural shifts and turn them into compelling brand expressions that drive actual conversion.Connect with Jackie: LinkedInLearn more about BERO: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

Welcome back to the Bourbon Road! The long wait is officially over—Jim Shannon has returned from his Dry January hiatus, and he's ready to make up for lost time. Rejoining Todd Ritter in the Bourbon Road bar, the duo wastes no time getting back to business. To celebrate the return of whiskey to Jim's glass, they've lined up a heavy-hitting "review show" featuring four distinct expressions that span the spectrum of rye and bourbon, followed by a chaotic science experiment at the end. The tasting kicks off with a unique offering from the Castle & Key Experimental Series Rye. This release is finished in Vino de Naranja (Orange Wine) barrels and clocks in at a stout 115.8 proof. It immediately surprises the hosts with vivid notes of chocolate orange and cupcake icing, delivering a "pop rocks" sensation on the palate that balances sweetness with a spicy finish. Next, they shift gears to a historic brand with the Old Overholt 12-Year Rye. A 117-proof Monongahela-style rye, this bottle offers a stark contrast to the first pour. Jim and Todd discuss its dignified, "elderly" profile, noting deep flavors of leather, dried cranberry, and peppery spice. It sparks a conversation about how extra age transforms the typical bright rye profile into something much drier and more complex. Moving into bourbon territory, the guys crack open a bottle from the future—the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B525. Sitting at 126.2 proof with an age statement of 11 years and 6 months, this release brings the heat and the flavor. The hosts uncover rich layers of brown sugar, molasses, and stewed plums, finishing with a distinct note of red hard candy cinnamon that lingers on the tongue. Finally, they cap off the individual tastings with the Old Forester 117 Series: Prohibition Era Still Proof. Inspired by the "distiller's holiday" of the prohibition era, this 130-proof powerhouse is surprisingly approachable. The guys dig into its dessert-like profile, finding heavy notes of cocoa powder, toasted marshmallow, and a s'mores-like quality that belies its high octane. To close out the show, Jim and Todd decide to mix things up—literally. They combine all four expressions into one glass for a "Boo Rye" blend. Does the combination of orange wine finish, aged rye, and barrel-proof bourbons create a disaster or a masterpiece? Tune in to hear their full tasting notes, their personal rankings of the four bottles, and to find out if the final blend was worth the risk. Cheers to being back on the road!

Today we have Jack. He is 45 years old and from Los Angeles, CA. He took his last drink of alcohol on December 31st, 2024.   This episode is brought to you by:   Café RE – THE social app for sober people. Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help   [02:47] Thoughts from Paul:   Last week Paul talked about the intentional phase of sobriety: choosing what you want to explore next and how you are going to fill the void left by alcohol.   Looking at Lewis and Clark, we know that no expedition goes according to plan. So this week we will talk about setbacks because they're part of life. Maybe it's relapse (or Field Research as we refer to it in RE). Maybe it's an injury that sidelines your new running routine or an illness that drains your energy for weeks. Or it may just be life being life.   The thing about setbacks – they don't erase your progress; they're just part of the terrain. If you drink again, you have not gone back to zero. You've gathered data. You know more now than you did before – about triggers, patterns, what works and what doesn't.   The goal here is not perfection, it's persistence. If you are facing a setback – big or small – ask yourself: what's the adjusted route? Not "should I give up?" but "how do I keep moving forward from here?"   [7:46] Paul introduces Jack:   Jack grew up in New Jersey but now lives in LA. He is a runner and currently training for a marathon. He loves movies and video games, and he is currently taking a fragrance development course and plans to build his own brand and launch his own fragrance in the future.   Growing up, Jack was always sensitive and shy kid. His parents drank and alcohol was just a regular part of life with wine at dinner and craft beer always around.   As a teenager, Jack drank to fit in at parties. Jack is gay and used alcohol to cancel out his anxiety and the awkwardness he felt socially. He says he didn't drink all the time and there were no real consequences, just teenage experimentation,   Jack drank on the weekends through college and enjoyed going out to gay clubs. After transferring from Savannah back to NYC, he finished school and got a job as a graphic designer. Drinking became a daily activity on his commutes and on weekends. Jack also began moonlighting as a DJ hosting parties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, something he always dreamed of doing when he was a teenager. This opened up a new world of nightlife for Jack.   Jack would drink all night while DJ'ing and go to work a few hours later. He had his first panic attack at work and while he knew that it was the hangover that triggered it but found that alcohol gave him instant relief. Blackouts began to happen regularly, and it dawned on Jack that he wasn't sure he was going to be able to stop drinking.   Jack became sober-curious in 2016. He started reading books and taking time off from drinking. Soon after this started his partner had an opportunity to go to grad school in Boston and Jack felt like this could be a clean slate.   After a few years alcohol-free, Jack felt like he could handle alcohol again. He planned to drink on his birthday. This opened the door for regression and within 6 months, the pandemic found Jack drinking just like he was before.   Jack's anxiety and panic attacks caused by his alcohol abuse were getting the best of him. After a rough weekend in Vegas, he drank through that holiday and knew that he couldn't continue to drink. He had heard about RE's Dry January course and burned the ships with his partner.   Jack said the course was exactly what he needed at the time and he knew within the first week that this is how he wants to live his life. He felt the pink cloud and euphoria from making the daily decision to be sober. He is an active member in Café RE, enjoys running, hiking, meditation and finding connections with community. Jack says he has gone from Passive Sobriety to Active Recovery.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down You got to take the stairs back up We can do this.   RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube  

Dry January is over! Wet February is here! What was it like to get drunk in the Middle Ages? Let's investigate......Join the official WMG Discord server!! https://discord.gg/6GzvXdWX23

“Dry January” is upon us—the annual reset when people swear off alcohol for a month, whether for health, discipline, curiosity, or recovery. While some are opting to detox from alcohol during the month of January, something bigger is happening beneath the surface: an entire generation is quietly walking away from alcohol altogether.    A 2025 Gallup poll found that only 50% of young adults ages 18-34, reported they drink—down from 72% two decades prior. And yet, alcohol still sits at the center of modern social life—networking events, happy hours, girls' nights out, and dating culture. If you don't drink, you're expected to explain yourself.  In a culture that normalizes constant consumption, slipping into sipping habitually can be like a frog in slowly boiling water; you don't notice the danger until alcohol starts stealing your clarity, your relationships, your peace, and eventually your purpose.  This week's Problematic Women, Ericka Andersen, knows this song and dance all too well. She joins this week's episode to make the case for sobriety in a culture so hellbent against it. Andersen, the author of “Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith,” shares the story of her personal relationship with alcohol and how she leaned not only on facts, but also on her faith, to find her way out.    We also break down the latest trends and statistics on alcohol consumption and what that says about the state of our culture.  Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal's Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.

A lot of people do Dry January hoping it will reset their relationship with alcohol, and then feel confused or discouraged when it doesn't. Dry January works, just not in the way most people think it does. If you've ever taken a 30, 90, or even year-long break from drinking, felt better, and then slowly slid back into the same patterns, this episode will explain why. We'll talk about why willpower works during the challenge but fails afterward, why the brain treats breaks as an exception instead of a turning point, and what actually has to change for sobriety to stick. Once you understand the difference between a pause and a rewire, a lot of self-blame starts to fall away.  E296-300 drinking motives and how problem drinking develops/escalates Work with me: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life https://www.soberpowered.com/membership Sober coaching https://www.soberpowered.com/sober-coaching Course Pickled.

In this episode, the hosts explore how mission-driven CPG brands are moving beyond preachy messaging and into a new era of modern moderation, one rooted in balance, authenticity, and consumer trust.  Plus, we sit down with beverage industry veteran Kevin Klock, who's back in the game as the co-founder and CEO of moringa-infused brand Orange Toucan, and Keegan Fong, the founder of Woon, a culture-forward pantry brand inspired by a family's beloved Chinese restaurants.

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole kick off the new year with a solo episode, just the two of them, catching up and getting honest as they step into 2026. The girls talk lifestyle shifts, Dry January (or the attempt at it), fitness journeys, and the pressure that comes with trying to “reset” every new year. From debating cutting back on drinking to unpacking personal habits they're actively working through, this episode is all about growth without pretending perfection exists. Lex and Drea also dive into relationships and boundaries—why more women are choosing not to live with men, how cleanliness and personal space can make or break a relationship, and the difference between standards and control. They touch on beauty trends, filler culture, and the quiet insecurity that can come with chasing an ever-changing look online. Things take a deeper turn as they discuss friendship fallouts, family betrayal, letting go of people who no longer serve you, and whether everything really deserves closure. The conversation wraps with candid talk about aging, sex, libido myths, flakiness, accountability, and why communication still matters, even when you're tired.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's Your Superpower?In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what's your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission.The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn't a badge of honor.In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn't equal dissatisfaction, and how consent and communication make all the difference.As always, things take a turn into real life: fostering chaotic cats, stepping back from dating, learning new skills, choosing rest, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you've been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or wondering whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that your presence, your voice, and your energy matter more than you think.Sometimes your superpower isn't loud — it's just consistent.

We have a change of scenery on The Nikki & Brie Show as the twins are settling into their brand-new podcast room! Still a work in progress but they're bringing the vibes anyway as they kick off a cozy and candid conversation about weekly wins, tough losses, and everything in between.Nikki celebrates an epic experience at the Fiesta Bowl, a dreamy stay at the Princess Hotel in Arizona, and a chance encounter with football legend Eli Manning, who is just as nice as you'd hope. Brie's riding high after Buddy crushed his first-ever flag football game, scoring three touchdowns and making mom proud with his sportsmanship. But it wouldn't be real if they didn't talk about the losses too—Nikki opens up about mom-shaming in the comments section, and Brie confesses to a cookie binge that threw Dry January off track (shout out to Sweet Loren's).With lots of laughs and transparency, this episode is a warm reminder that growth comes from both wins and losses. As the twins share in their Inspiration & Affirmation segment: “You can't win until you learn how to lose.” Press play, get comfy, and ride the highs and lows with your favorite duo.

1. New Year’s Resolutions The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026: Ted Cruz’s resolutions: Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise. Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month). Read the Bible daily throughout the year. Ben Ferguson’s resolutions: Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs). Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz. They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home. 2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud The second part shifts to a serious political discussion: Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement. Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city. Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government. Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying. Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
