Please rate and review Charting Toward Intimacy! It helps other women find the podcast and benefit from it!In this episode of Charting Toward Intimacy, Ellen Holloway dives into the damaging expectation that your husband should be able to read your mind (especially when it comes to emotional and sexual needs). She explores why this belief undermines true intimacy and reframes what genuine, loving actions look like in marriage. Ellen breaks down the importance of asking clearly for what you want, and how your husband's choice to respond, even reluctantly, can still be deeply loving. ___________________________________ Did we mention a book on this week's episode?

Diana and Suzy to unpack Pixar's Elemental and why this bright romance about a fire girl and a water guy feels so personal. We dig into immigrant family expectations, identity, access to opportunity, and what it looks like to pick your own path. The crew trades favorite gags, cries over Wade's “evaporation,” debates which element we'd be, and imagines what an Elemental 2 could explore. Along the way, we share real stories about work, school, and the moment someone finally tells you your dream isn't “too expensive” to say out loud.00:00 Welcome to Disney Moms Gone Wrong, hosts and late-night vibes01:27 Why Elemental became a comfort movie at home02:56 Plot setup: Ember, Wade, Element City, and the shop inspection03:33 Big themes: love, identity, family expectations, cultural differences04:37 Belle's perspective as a daughter of immigrants working in a family shop06:24 First watch vs rewatch: from “cheesy” to layered and moving08:17 Torn between duty and dreams: Ember's conflict and real-life parallels12:42 “Words that felt too expensive” and finding a path into law16:14 Going back to school at 34 and redefining success18:34 Does the film model real cultural blending that works in the real world?21:27 Funniest bits: Wind Breakers basketball, “try not to cry,” and mom jokes23:59 Empathy as a superpower and why Wade lands emotionally25:00 The moms, the perfume, and classic parental intuition26:30 Crossing cultural lines in relationships and family reactions28:20 Wade nudging Ember to take risks and try new things29:05 The wisteria scene and making space for someone's dream30:20 From a flower to real access: opportunity as a theme31:47 Which element are we?

Wade's openness helps Ember test limits rather than shrink from them.The score sneaks up on you. Heard alone, it pulls you right back into Element City.We'd watch a sequel that explores their life outside of Element City and new kinds of diversity.“I did not expect it to hit me emotionally the way it did.”“These words were too expensive and they're not meant for me.”“Try not to cry.”“It made me cry when Wade evaporated.”“The goal was always my son's happiness.”“Team fire.

The holidays aren't always joyful. Often they remind us of things we don't have, milestones we haven't met, and wounds that haven't healed. But when Jesus arrived in Bethlehem, he came to refine us — to make us beautiful, acceptable, and useful. His refining fire isn't always comfortable, but it's always beneficial.

Matthew 24:36-44 • First Sunday in Advent

Owen Carr expects “over a trillion dollars in sales” over the Black Friday period, a record high. He thinks retailers have “done a good job” of stretching out promotions and sales opportunities. “Customers are trading down,” though, across all categories. “We're seeing a lot of self-improvement-type items,” he adds, while travel is underperforming.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

I used to start my mornings with almond milk lattes, low-fat yogurt, and a protein bar. All "healthy" choices, right? Wrong. Turns out, those foods were spiking my blood sugar, tanking my energy by 10am, and keeping me constantly hungry. In this episode, I'm breaking down the most popular "health foods" that are secretly sabotaging your energy, hormones, and weight loss and what to eat instead.

Tyler Marmolejos // Habakkuk 2, Hebrews 10-11

Misguided ideas surface in healthcare settings all the time.  With warmth and loving amusement, we reflect on how these initiatives—often wrapped in corporate optimism—miss the mark.  yet don't have to steal our peace.  Brilliantly bad ideas aren't about you and tehy don't have to steal your peace. They're structural, impersonal, and often just disconnected from the day-to-day reality of clinical life. We invite you to laugh with us, reflect, and most importantly, not to take them personally. Pearls of Wisdom: • Bad ideas often come with good intentions—they're usually more about systemic gaps than personal disrespect. • You get to choose how much energy to bring to these initiatives—humor and grace are powerful tools. • "Wellness" programs often miss the mark because they don't reflect the lived reality of those they're meant to support. • Expecting and accepting mismatched ideas can bring lightness—and maybe even loving amusement. Reflection Questions: • What is your favorite "brilliantly bad idea?"  • How might you use humor to help you when the next one comes your way? Please send us the brilliantly bad ideas you have witnessed.  We would love to hear them! If you're navigating burnout, frustration, or the absurdities of healthcare, we offer coaching, retreats, and workshops to help you find clarity, compassion, and joy again. Jessie offers 1:1 coaching and mindful retreats designed to bring back peace, purpose, and presence in your work and life.  Learn more at www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching and www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. CME is available for most Pause & Presence offerings. If you'd like to bring humor, mindfulness, and meaning to your institution or event, we both offer also offer keynotes and workshops. Learn more here: Jessie Mahoney, MD: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking Ni-Cheng Liang, MD: www.awakenbreath.org Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.  

In a world where we're pressured to level up, Habakkuk reminds us that the status our hearts crave isn't achieved by effort but received by faith. If you need to experience the freedom of Jesus' righteousness, tune into this message!

In this episode, we sit down with Lauren, one of the original Twiniversity voices and fellow twin mom, to talk about when life with twins actually starts to feel manageable. Lauren shares what those early years were like raising twin boys mostly solo while her husband worked long hours. She opens up about the constant pressure to do it all, the exhaustion of always being “on,” and the mental load that comes with being the default parent.Things started to shift once her boys began preschool and, eventually, full-day kindergarten. Lauren talks about how those small breaks made a big difference and how she celebrated her first real hour alone by getting her nose pierced, a moment that felt like taking back a little piece of herself.This is a real, honest conversation about the highs, the lows, and the slow but steady return to feeling like your own person again. If you're in the thick of it, this episode is your reminder that it really does get easier.EPISODE THEMES

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow uses a famous Michael Jordan quote, a heartbreaking Minnesota Vikings loss, and a rant from Jeff Compton of The Jaded Mechanic Podcast to dig into a big question:When did we get so impatient with young people—and what is it costing our industry?Matt reflects on how we treat new, entry-level mechanical and technical specialists in our shops, how “common sense” isn't actually common, and why our own backgrounds make it easy to forget what it's like to start from zero. He draws parallels between sports, restaurants, and auto repair, and makes the case that if we want to “grow our own,” we must build patience and structure into our businesses.Along the way, he talks about failure as a prerequisite for greatness—using Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Muhammad Ali, and even win–loss records and batting averages to remind us that the “greats” failed a lot before anyone called them great.Highlights & Topics CoveredMichael Jordan's failure quote and what it really says about successA recent Vikings–Bears game:JJ McCarthy's rough day, clutch fourth-quarter drive, andHow special teams and defense actually lost the gameThe internet meltdown: instant calls to replace a young quarterback who's essentially still a rookieA short video rant from Jeff Compton (The Jaded Mechanic Podcast) about having patience with young peopleThe core question: When did we get so impatient—and were we always this way?Generational shifts in handling criticism, shame, and feedbackWhy “common sense” isn't common:How background, upbringing, and exposure shape what feels obviousGrowing up around farms, equipment, and shops vs. growing up with screensHomemakers, latchkey kids, and how changing family structures change what kids bring into the workplaceThe reality of today's entry-level hire:No mechanical backgroundDoesn't know a hex from a Torx… yetThe shop's responsibility if you want to “grow your own”:Structuring the business to shoulder an apprentice who isn't producing much at firstDefining basic expectations (showing up, being on time, not repeating the same mistake endlessly)Skill decay and repetition:Lab scopes, training classes, and how fast proficiency fades without regular useHow we criticize: sharp scalpel vs. rusty spoon; cutting people apart vs. building them upRemembering that apprentices didn't choose their childhood or start point—but are choosing this careerThe sports angle on failure and greatness:Michael Jordan getting cut from his high school teamPat Riley's quote about last shot vs. “save my life” shot (MJ vs. Larry Bird)Muhammad Ali's losses, UFC careers, and the obsession with “perfect records”Baseball batting averages: greatness at 30% successA teaser for a future episode: how this profession can play a role in the “war on young men”Key TakeawaysFailure is part of greatness. The people we call “the greatest” in sports failed repeatedly. Expecting perfection from a first-year tech is delusional.Common sense is built, not born. What feels obvious to you probably came from years of exposure, mistakes, and stories you grew up around. Your apprentice didn't get that same download.If you want to grow your own, structure for it. Shops that bring in entry-level mechanical/technical...

In this episode Dr. K explains why modern feeds are not trying to entertain you, they are trying to keep you bored. He breaks down boredom as a dopamine craving and withdrawal state, how short form platforms train your brain into tolerance, and why normal activities stop feeling fun. Then he shows how to reverse it by allowing boredom so your receptors upregulate, your sensitivity returns, and everyday life becomes enjoyable again. He also covers the temporary spike in stored anxiety and low mood that can surface during this reset and how to handle it safely. Topics include: What boredom is in the brain, dopamine craving and withdrawal How feeds create tolerance and downregulate dopamine receptors Why multitasking with phone plus TV feels empty The paradox: more boredom today, less boredom tomorrow Receptor upregulation and regaining pleasure from simple activities Dopaminergic flexibility, enjoying a wider range of things again Expecting rebound emotions when you unplug and why they taper When to seek clinical support if symptoms persist HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Amos 8, John 6 // Christian Siania

Kyle Bray reports. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When's the last time you were pleasantly surprised by something? A $20 bill in your pocket? A cancelled work meeting? An unexpected visitor? That's what happened when Jesus arrived. Nobody was expecting the blessings he would bring. But they should have been, if they were paying attention to the prophets. Amos predicted a time of spiritual famine, and only Jesus could end the famine by bringing a feast of God's glory, truth, and grace.

Expecting people to understand you in creating lonliness in your life that doesn't need to be there.  Because no one will truly be able to understand you completely, because their life circumstances are diffrerent than yours.  Instead of wanting everyone to understand you, let's ask that they respect you.  In this episode, we dive into the nuances of this. Here are the links I mentioned in this episode: The Capacity Gap Mastercass Please leave a 5-star review :) The Capacity Vault  

Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 1951

Are you waiting for someone to change? Expecting a relationship to finally fill that emptiness inside? You're blocking love. And you don't even know it. Most of us grew up without a manual on how to actually build a relationship. We watched dysfunction. We learned to attach instead of love. We created expectations that keep us stuck. And here's the kicker: nothing outside of you will ever fill you up. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why your childhood conditioning blocks your ability to love as an adult * How expectations and entitlement destroy intimacy * The difference between living in reality versus fantasy about relationships * Why perfection is just another way of avoiding yourself * Her own mother as a mirror for what blocking love looks like * How to stop manipulating situations to get what you want * The four key steps to opening yourself to real love "Expectations block love. Every sense of entitlement you have blocks love." ~ Tracy Crossley This is part one of two. If you keep ending up in the same relationship patterns and can't figure out why—this is your wake-up call.

Caring for someone you love when they're going through a significant is one of the greatest privileges of a lifetime - and also one of the hardest seasons you will ever walk. In this episode, I sit down with award winning health journalist and author, Casey Beros. Casey’s latest book, Next of Kin - What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Care for Someone You Love, was born from her deeply personal experience caring for her beloved dad through a terminal diagnosis of mesothelioma. Our conversation is raw, honest, practical and full of heart. We talk about what really happens behind the scenes when someone you love becomes seriously ill, and how to keep showing up with love without completely burning yourself out. Here are just a few of the beautiful takeaways waiting for you: Why there is no “person with the clipboard” - and how to step into your role as an advocate in the medical, legal and emotional side of care, even if you feel totally unprepared. Simple ways to care for yourself when you have “no time” - including Casey’s brilliant micro habits approach that takes just one minute at a time. How to talk about death, grief and the “after” in a healthier way, including what Casey learned from death walker and educator Zenith Virago. A powerful reminder not to wait for “one day” to live your dream life, book the trip and enjoy the people you love while they are still here. Whether you are currently a carer, you love someone who is, or you simply want to be better prepared for life’s inevitable seasons, this episode will hold your hand and gently nudge you into action.

For the longest time, I thought my anxiety was intuition. I could always spot what might go wrong, so I assumed it meant I was being careful. But what I've learned is that the brain confuses hypervigilance for safety - it's working overtime to avoid pain that's already in the past. In this episode, I'm unpacking why your body doesn't always trust joy, how fear becomes a habit, and what it really means to rebuild trust in God one calm breath at a time.

The sister duo, Amy and Krystle, are back on the Expecting and Empowered podcast to bust one of the biggest birth myths out there — that you have to give birth on your back! This common misconception, often fueled by TV and movie portrayals of labor, doesn't reflect what's truly best for many birthing moms. In this episode, Amy and Krystle break down why pushing on your back might not be the most ideal position and dive into the science and strategy behind movement during labor.Krystle, a women's health physical therapist, shares powerful alternative labor positions that can help open the pelvis, encourage optimal baby positioning, shorten labor, reduce pushing time, and support more effective pain management. The sisters also bring up the “3 P's of Labor” and explain how movement and positioning — beyond the typical flat-on-your-back approach — can make a major difference in your birth experience. Whether you're preparing for your first birth or your next, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and ready to take an active role in your labor journey.If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered.

Ashley Bastock joined Nick and Jonathan on Afternoon Drive to preview the Browns' upcoming match up with the Ravens and talked about whether or not this one of those games the Browns have no business winning, but could anyway. She talked about why things don't seem to be getting better with the team, if the jury is out on Dillon Gabriel, and if there's a case to keep Kevin Stefanski beyond this season.

Autonomy-Supportive Parenting with Dr. Emily Edlynn, PhD In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy Podcast, host Christopher Robbins interviews Dr. Emily Edlynn, a licensed clinical psychologist and author of "Autonomy-Supportive Parenting." Dr. Edlynn explains how autonomy-supportive parenting, based on self-determination theory, nurtures three fundamental human needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

Key Takeaways Autonomy supportive parenting focuses on nurturing three fundamental needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Modern intensive parenting culture often leads to controlling behaviors that undermine children's development. Parents should ask children "What are you thinking?" before offering solutions to encourage problem- solving skills. Expecting more independent behaviors from children reduces parental stress while building children's confidence. Approach children's mistakes with curiosity rather than judgment to maintain connection and facilitate learning. Scaffolding approach works best - implementing changes step by step rather than expecting immediate complete independence. Autonomy-supportive parenting leads to higher self-esteem, better academic achievement, and stronger social relationships in children. Parents don't need to be perfect - creating a general environment of autonomy support is what matters most. Quotable Moments "All of us, regardless of our age or where we live in the world, we thrive when we have these three needs met." "We feel like this anxiety that we have to curate this perfect life for our kids. And so what we end up doing is we do too much for our kids as a way to love them." "I want you to pretend that there's no one here to solve this problem and your life depends on solving this problem. And I bet you can solve it." "We just undermine or underestimate our children. We underestimate what they have to offer and they'll feel that over time." "One of the best things we can do is let go of our image of them and really see them for who they are." "Parenting is not a hundred yard dash. It's a really long ultra marathon." "You do not have to be autonomy supportive every minute of every day to be an autonomy-supportive parent."

PREVIEW. Russia Attacks Ukraine's Energy Nodes: Expecting a Hard Winter.
