“The learned brahmana Sudama passed that night at the house of Lord Krishna, and while he was there he felt as if he were living in a Vaikuntha planet. Actually he was living in Vaikuntha, because wherever Lord Krishna, the original Narayana, and Rukminidevi, the goddess of fortune, live is not different from the spiritual planet, Vaikunthaloka.” (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 2, Ch 26)

We are back for part 2 with Real Housewives of New Jersey icon, Teresa Giudice and she gets real about family drama, celebrity scandals, reality TV, and her cast fashion hits and misses. It's a bare all from Wendy Williams shocking financial situation to another unexpected piece of her Armenian Coffee Cup Grounds Reading, packed with tea, laughter, and unfiltered honesty and coffee grounds revelations..  We begin with our Haute Topics & Celebrity Gossip regarding Wendy Williams Broke as reports claim she has only $15 left. We discuss how this could happen to a talk show legend and whether dementia played a role in her losing control of her finances.  Another Haute Topic is Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt's GoFundMe Backlash – After losing their home in a fire, the reality TV couple asked fans for donations. Is that fair or tone-deaf? Teresa shares her thoughts on celebrity privilege and public perception.  Teresa's Personal Reflections include candidly speaking about her ongoing feud with her brother Joe Gorga, claiming he chose Margaret Josephs over his own sister. Losing Her Parents – She recalls losing her mother shortly after coming home from prison and how it marked the end of her marriage. Three years later, she lost her father and it devestated her. She bares her soul about Reality TV & Betrayal reflecting on falling out with cousins Kathy & Rosie and how RHONJ permanently fractured all her family relationships and shares how she teaches her daughters to always stick with family unlike her own experiences. Blood is Thicker than Water. Our Runway Rundown is all about her RHONJ Cast and it's no holding back as we critique the good, the bad and the UGLY! Who was cheap and uninspiring? Which Jersey Girl wore real jewels and who wore the fakes? Who was elegant and classy and made bold statements? Who had a fabric disaster and who looked like they shopped in LA's infamous Santee Alley? Who was Teresa referring to when she used the words "prom misses"? We delve into Reality TV Reboots The trio discussing Vanderpump Rules and RHONY revamps and agree that nothing beats the OGs. What is Teresa's opinion of The Valley? Teresa reveals some  Behind-the-Scenes Bravo Secrets and spills on last-minute wardrobe stress, stylist nightmares, and why casting decisions cause major drama.  We end part two with another piece of Teresa's Armenian Coffee Cup Grounds Reading and a Shocking Prediction with an upcoming family gathering where shocking news will be revealed. The advice? Stay quiet and observe—but can Teresa resist speaking her mind? Who cheated on her and is she ready to head back to those table flipping moments? Last but, not least...Will Teresa return to RHONJ? Will Bravo make the 'right' casting choices?  And, yes we have a PART 3 with Teresa Giudice releasing soon!

Send us a textWelcome to another heartfelt episode of God-sized Stories!Today, I am beyond thrilled to have the incredibly talented author Lanier Ivester join us to discuss her beautiful and soul-stirring book, "Glad and Golden Hours".This episode is packed with reflections on the nature of Advent and Christmas Tide, beautifully weaving themes of joy, sorrow, and the intentional celebrations that bring deeper meaning to our holiday season.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Hello there, friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I love this time of year. The twinkle lights, the snow, the frost on the trees, it all makes me so happy. I love Christmas music, yes, and I love all the Christmas decorations everywhere. I love the get-togethers, eggnog, treats, and parties. But there are also a lot of challenges that are brought up at this time of year, especially around body trust. The holidays are associated with family gatherings, friends, festive meals and food. It sometimes stirs up complicated feelings around eating, hunger, and around body image. It can be very stressful. So how should you approach it? What can we all do to make things easier on ourselves over the holiday season? That's what this episode is all about.   What does it actually mean to practice body trust during the holiday season?  It's about staying connected to your own needs and approaching food with a joyful mindset instead of a pressured one. And it's about navigating challenging family dynamics and conversations. We often give ourselves these pep talks to “enjoy but in moderation” or “indulge but not too much” and “get back on track in January” but that just creates an exhausting tug of war inside us. So today I talk about how you can enjoy this time of year without being excessive or restrictive. I talk about staying present with food throughout the meal. Don't tune out and eat mindlessly but truly enjoy what you're eating. It's okay to stop when you're full and it's okay to have seconds if you aren't. Listen to your body, not the people around you. I talk about paying attention to self-care so we don't lose ourselves in all the hustle and bustle. And I talk about how to set boundaries during gatherings to avoid triggering conversations about weight. Join me as we talk about truly enjoying the holidays with body trust and a sense of peace in place.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

Send us a textWith the holiday season in full swing, many of us are finding ourselves navigating sometimes tricky and challenging family gatherings, especially with our queer kids. This time of year often comes with particular, sometimes unspoken, expectations about our participation in family events. Supporting our queer kids also occasionally means having to respond to inappropriate questions, uncomfortable interactions, and hurtful situations. This week In the Den, Sara sits down with therapists Laura Skaggs and Lisa Hansen to talk through possible coping strategies and boundaries to help get us through the holidays while protecting and prioritizing the wellbeing of our queer children.Special Guest: Laura SkaggsLaura Skaggs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in treating spiritual trauma at the intersection of LGBTQ+ experiences and religion.

She went on to serve for two years on the board of directors of Affirmation: LGBT+ Mormons, Families, and Friends with a focus on responding to spiritual trauma and suicide prevention. Laura is also the co-creator of CWEERS Empowerment groups: a practice designed to help LGBTQ+ individuals and their supporters confront social discrimination and internalized stigma.

Today we share helpful lessons to help you navigate family gatherings with less stress. Are you feeling a bit of anxiety and/or nervous anticipatory energy, maybe even unease, or dread?  Are there potential or recurrent disagreements or points of contention that often arise when spending time with loved ones?  Do you sometimes feel like an outsider or disconnected at family gatherings?  Are holidays much better now than they ever have been? Are you often still somewhat disappointed after family gatherings?   We encourage you to allow whatever feelings arise including potentially disappointment, disconnection, and a sense of not belonging.   What may make it harder for you to enjoy holiday gatherings?   High expectations, manuals, compare and despair, generally being givers and not receivers, and challenges having fun and relaxing.   Listen to hear about the practices of intention setting, making generous assumptions, looking for how they are just like you.     In this episode, we share many other mindful mindset practices to help you focus on fun, joy, connection and ease. We also discuss what may get in your way on your journey. Move beyond consuming this amazing podcast. True change happens when you work with us - virtually and/or in-person.

    Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Just hanging out all day with family, eating and drinking. Perfect. The songs in this mix were all chosen for the titles, which all fit the Thanksgiving theme. Besides the obvious titles with the word "thanks" my favorite track titles are "my dad's famous potatoes", "Give me cornbread when I'm hungry", and "An Awkward Conversation at a Family Gathering." Play this in the background as you eat way too much food and hopefully not way too much beer.
