Inside the Mediation Room: Understanding the Process with Family Law Mediator Tami SbarIn this episode of How to Split a Toaster, part of the season-long series Your Divorce Case, Seth Nelson and Pete Wright welcome back family law mediator Tami Sbar to dive deep into the mediation process. With 35 years of legal experience, Tami shares her unique perspective as a neutral party who helps divorcing couples reach agreements outside the courtroom. This episode builds on last week's discussion about mediation preparation, offering valuable insights into what actually happens during mediation sessions.Seth and Pete explore with Tami how mediation differs from courtroom proceedings, particularly in how it empowers couples to make their own decisions. Tami explains her role as a neutral facilitator rather than a decision-maker, and describes how she works with couples separately to help them reach mutually beneficial agreements. The conversation covers everything from managing power imbalances to handling emotional reactions, while providing practical examples of how mediators can help bridge communication gaps between divorcing partners.Questions we answer in this episode:What exactly does a mediator do during divorce proceedings?How do mediators handle situations with significant power imbalances?Can mediation address issues that courts can't enforce, like college expenses?Key Takeaways:Mediators work as neutral facilitators, not judges or decision-makersKeeping parties in separate rooms often leads to better outcomesSuccessful mediation requires both parties to be emotionally ready to settlePlus, we tackle another listener question! A parent asks about handling college expenses in states where courts don't address them, particularly when one parent previously promised to cover costs through inheritance. Seth and Tami discuss various solutions, from establishing trusts to creating detailed agreements with specific timeframes and conditions.Whether you're considering mediation or already scheduled for it, this episode provides crucial insights into the process. Tami's experienced perspective, combined with Seth and Pete's practical advice, offers valuable guidance for anyone navigating divorce mediation.Links & NotesSchedule a consult with SethGot a question you want to ask on the show?

Bowel incontinence is a condition that may be more life limiting than almost any other form of incontinence, but to most of us, it's so embarrassing that we'd rather suffer than discuss it with a doctor. Today's guest is Dr. Cary Fishburne, a double-board-certified urogynecologist and specialist in female pelvic health, and he's here to reassure us that there's truly no reason to stay silent.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Stay in the know with all the latest hints and tips for managing incontinence.

Steve hears the last of the Dennis Allen audio with regards to the Saints starting squad, feeling like this new offense is a "Christmas gift" with the 1st game coming up, before hearing from Derek Carr on how the offense is feeling in their new look under Klint Kubiak, and Jeff Nowak, Saints sideline reporter and WWL digital content producer, joins Steve to break down Panthers and their chase to enter the race to the title in a fairly contested NFC South, Cam Jordan's return to dominance with starting the season in great health, and if Chase Young can be the difference we think he can be come game time Sunday before closing out the show talking about fantasy football a bit.

In this episode, intimacy coaches Will and Chiara share their transformative experiences at a festival (OZORA) in Europe, where Chiara's boobs in particular had many adventures :).  They discuss the concept of Openness, the importance of curiosity, and what it means to feel comfortable in your own body, opening the doors to a profound sense of freedom and connection. They highlight the contrast between people who are “open” and willing to share (their stories and themselves), vs. those who are more reserved, as a way to learn how to overcome fears, setting boundaries, and building trust in relationships.  The whole conversation is an amazing metaphor for how life can be lived. As all our episodes, this one too is filled with personal anecdotes and insights into how openness can lead to deeper connections and a more fulfilling life. !!

Today's episode is all about a very common problem for both men and women: body image. You'll hear how negative perceptions can impact intimacy and relationships, and how healing and personal growth can transform your sex life and deepen your relationship. Women in particular often feel negatively about their appearance due to societal standards, so Chiara vulnerably shares her journey to overcome shame that her boobs were “too big”, and then “scarred”. We explore how the lens of positive self-perception can boost sexual confidence: deeper sexiness comes from feeling confident and comfortable in one's skin, rather than conforming to external beauty standards. For those that might be curious, you'll also hear how non-monogamy and swinging can be platforms for receiving genuine feedback from others that don't necessarily have a vested interest in just giving you a compliment - like a husband or friend would do. === 01:13 Body Confidence for Better Intimacy 01:19 Body Image and Self-Perception: “my boobs are too big!” 02:09 The Impact that Body Image Can Have on Intimacy 02:26 Overcoming Body Image Issues 02:29 The Role of Mindset in Sensuality 03:41 The Influence of Media on Body Image 04:06 The Disconnect Between Appearance and Self-Perception 04:53 The Importance of Self-Acceptance 05:37 Redefining Attractiveness 06:17 “Beautiful” Doesn't Mean “Sexy”: The Impact of Arrogance on Attractiveness 07:12 The Journey to Feeling “Comfortable”, not “Confident” 09:17 How Moderate Physical Activity can Improve Your Body Image Perception 11:04 The Importance of Healthy Eating 12:06 The Power of Positive Self-Perception 12:58 Embracing Your Body is Liberating! 13:51 Chiara's Breast Reduction Experience 13:55 Embrace the Changes in Your Body 19:15 Men's Perspectives on Body Image and Self-Acceptance 21:46 Redefining Sexiness: Beyond the Physical 22:13 The Impact of Confidence and Comfort on Sexiness 28:32 The Importance of Compliments in Relationships 32:11 The Power of Feedback and Self-Acceptance 33:21 The Beauty of Imperfection: Embracing Your Body Post-Childbirth 37:53 The Impact of Physical Appearance on Self-Perception 37:53 The Incredible Impact of Feeling Good on Your Sexual Life 39:13 Practical Tips for Improving Body Image and Confidence 39:59 Positive Self-Talk and Compliments 42:18 Conclusion: Embracing Happiness and Confidence in Your Skin === WHO IS WILL Will is a psychologist,  journalist, entrepreneur, spin doctor, executive advisor and father.

This year was one of the best of my life but it was also one of the most emotionally difficult.  The age of 37 to 38 was redirection. It was breaking down, finding a new path and revisiting the path to heal.  I'm sharing in this episode inspiration on pivoting in your career or business, getting comfortable being alone and healing blocks that stop you from becoming the next version of yourself.  Listen for some very raw motivation!    Listen to Next: Episode 237: Monk Mode RESOURCES Podcast Mentorship: www.chardetryel.comThe Wellness Retreats: www.feelgoodnakd.com Nakd Wellbeing Newsletter on www.feelgoodnakd.com

[This episode is available on Video Podcast via YouTube] This week I interviewed my friend Samantha Bun.  Here's a little bit about her: I'm a self love & confidence coach and dance instructor (pole, floorwork & twerk) and I am all about helping women boldly & confidently love, claim & express their true limitless selves.  When I asked her about what she felt called to share with you this week on the podcast she said:  I'd love to share about how I overcame struggles with my body and growing up with very conservative values in an Asian family. How I was able to break free from these constraints and develop my own views and values around my body. How dance has helped me embrace my femininity and sensuality + own my sexuality. I believe a lot of women will be able to resonate with body image issues.  So tune into this episode where we talk about Sam's journey with her body & self confidence  Taking ownership & breaking social, familial & cultural boundaries of self expression Handling shame around your body Stepping into the taboo of ‘pole' & ‘floorwork' The effect of staying in alignment to your self expression The impact of operating in flow in all areas of life If this episode resonated with you, screenshot, share & tag me on socials IG:⁠ @_nicolaaay⁠.

Pull up a chair and join us in Baja, Mexico as we as we celebrate sisterhood and surf adventure on Surf Société's first trip. We'll drink wine and eat charcuterie after a surf at a secret spot, all thanks to Manny, our guide at Epic Surf Tours.Meet 4 members of The Surf Société: Farrah, Celia, Danyelle, and Jana.  Coming together IRL for the first time on this trip. We'll recount an amazing weekend of overcoming fear, challenging surf conditions, secret breaks, and eating the most amazing food south of the border.Each surf lady brings something special to the conversation. Farrah shares why she chose this surf trip as her first, Celia shares how despite her fears she surfs anyway, Danyelle tells us why surf travel is the only travel she does, and last but not least, Jana shares how she uses a positive attitude to rapidly progress her surf skills.This trip bridges the gap between online learning inside The Surf Société and an IRL sisterhood.Main Themes: The Importance of Trust and Camaraderie in Group Adventures: 'I want to trust that person and know that they're being conscious about when we're going, why we're going, and who we're going with. I like that it's a small group and we're all in different experience levels. We all feel super comfortable and there's such great camaraderie on the lineup.'" - Farrah MonfortThe Benefits of Traveling to Surf: "Traveling to surf is the best thing. It's like this built-in security. It's made me a bolder traveler because I know that there's going to be a group that's going to take care of me because surfers take care of other surfers. I think that's the best part about it." - Danyelle CarpenterFeeling Comfortable and Safe: Yeah, it was so awesome because I felt really comfortable on that wave and I actually caught some.  I'm really working to be a better surfer and I know for me to do that, it's not just going out and surfing, it's being encouraged by other people that make me feel comfortable and safe." -Ceclia McKintoshThe Importance of Feeling Comfortable in a Surf Trip: "I really like that it's just women on our trip. I know women that admire Laura's work from her Instagram, from her podcast. I know her principles and things that are important to her. Then I think, okay, people who are going to go on this trip are going to align with that too, and I will feel comfortable in that environment."

Episode 2108 - On this Sunday School episode, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk Gina's breast reduction surgery, feeling comfortable in your body, healing, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/feeling-comfortable-in-your-body-episode-2108 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY Gina recently had surgery to reduce her breasts. She is a small woman (5'5") and her breasts were very disproportionately large. This was a medical surgery, not a cosmetic one. Her insurance company covered it quite easily. Post-op, she has to wear certain clothes and follow certain protocols to ensure she heals up healthily. For the first few days, she felt pretty sick. Now, she's feeling better but taking it easy. Mostly, she's walking, and it feels good -- including on a cellular level. Eating healthily tough because she is dealing with nausea, but she wants to get back on the wagon as soon as possible. Right now, she needs to eat what she can stomach, even if that's rice or bread. FEELING COMFORTABLE IN YOUR BODY Now, she feels fantastic and so much more proportional! It is tough on your body to have so much weight that is 'non-functional' insofar as it is not muscle. She didn't want to do anything with impact because it was uncomfortable and would hurt her chest. This took about 4 lbs off. She hopes to be "streak-ready" soon, post-op and back on the NSNG® wagon. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Key Points, Top Takeaways, and Memorable Quotes“In 2017, I was just kinda doing life, had two little kids and a house, a pool in the backyard, and a job.  It was 120 degrees outside, but to get back to the cancer story.” 3:54“One thing I didn't know about Testicular Cancer is that it's the most common type of cancer in white males between the ages of 18-34, which is a very big eye-opening thing; I was diagnosed at 38.” 7:54“Besides being told you have cancer, to me, the scariest thing about it was just the word chemotherapy.” 9:21“I played volleyball during chemotherapy with friends and I felt pretty good.  I had to take it easy and chemotherapy made you a little more sensitive to the sun, and obviously, energy levels are a little lower.” 14:50“I'm very grateful that I responded the way that I did to chemotherapy.” 15:14“I compared it to sports and this was the path that I needed to do to get better for cancer and chemotherapy was the vehicle.” 16:21“There's a reason middle blockers don't set.” 16:45“The key is to check yourself; self-exam (hate to say it and laugh but) or have someone check for you.” 21:44“The social connection and the physical exertion was so big for me for my own mentality knowing that I could be going through chemotherapy but I'm still able to play volleyball.” 23:19“When other friends of mine go through life adversity and troubles and tests, I always want to be there to help them and make them know that I'm there to help them if they want my help.  They have to come to me; I'll make myself available.” 24:35“A good mental check for me to know that I could still compete.” 34:02“When I was playing full time, I would train harder than the matches were so that the matches seemed easier.” 37:46“What it felt like to have that emotion flow through me from volleyball, but then from all challenges and to overcome them and to get back to a place where I was satisfied with volleyball.” 50:58“When I was coaching at the college level, there was no social media.  There was none of this pressure from external factors, from opening up instagram and seeing yourself get blocked on repeat every single ten seconds.” 56:36“Accept it. It's volleyball. You got blocked. Big deal.” 56:59“Let them try all the sports, they'll pick whichever sport they want to play, then when they get to the level where it's more serious, there's other dedicated full-time coaches for them to get coaching.” 58:14“I really do enjoy talking about volleyball without it being to a team that I'm coaching or seeing faces and having to kind of rearrange your talk track a little bit.” 1:02:43“I know that I need to have a goal athletically that's physically challenging for me to work towards, for my own personal psyche, and how I operate when I'm with my kids, what I want to do and where my focuses are.  1:14:33“It's not about going back and changing what's happened in my life to have gotten me to where I am today.  It's analyzing and thinking about the choices I've made given the situations that I was in that have brought me to where I am today, and what I can take from them moving forward for myself and the most important people around me in my life, whether it's family or friends.” 1:22:39“It's not looking back in regret, but it's learning from the choices and helping me make the right choices moving forward so it puts me in the place to be the things that I wanna be for myself, and as a parent for my kids or a friend or whatever I need to be for that day.”  1:23:12“Realize where you are, what you have, take it, and be better for it.” 1:23:58 Guest Bio - Matt Prosser was born and raised in Ventura, California and now lives in Hermosa Beach. He is a 43 years old father of two young boys Nolan (8) and Welles (6).  Matt started playing volleyball at the age of 13 after playing nearly every youth sport, once he found volleyball he was hooked.  A self-described “volley-nerd” in middle school and high school Matt was a Junior Olympic Champion in 1997 and went on to play NCAA volleyball at Long Beach State where he was a 3-time All-American, team captain, and NCAA finalist.  After graduating with a broadcast journalism degree in 2001 Matt went on to play one season of professional volleyball for OK Maribor in Maribor, Slovenia.  Matt started playing beach volleyball in high school and during the summers of college in Ventura and decided to play professional beach volleyball in 2003.  Matt played on the AVP tour for 13 seasons, and made the 2010 AVP Hermosa Beach Open Finals as the 13th seeded team with John Mayer but lost in the finals to Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers.  Matt won the 2011 AVP Champions Cup in Huntington Beach with partner and childhood teammate Matt Olson. Overall, Matt competed in 105 professional beach volleyball events between 2003 and 2018.  His final main draw appearance was in the 2018 Manhattan Beach Open when he partnered with Eric Beranek as the Q34 seed winning four matches to qualify for the Main Draw approximately one year after being diagnosed and recovering from testicular cancer.  Matt turned his love of indoor and beach volleyball into an emerging career in international and domestic broadcasting, doing play-by-play and color commentary for Long Beach State Men's Volleyball, Volleyball World, and Italian Professional Indoor Volleyball.  Matt broadcasts VNL matches and will join AVP events later in 2022.  Outside of volleyball, Matt enjoys coaching his sons sports teams, and stays physically and philanthropically active, supporting the Arthritis Foundation and will ride in the California Coastal Classic Bike Ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.Show Notes 0:00 - What I Meant to Say Podcast Intro0:18 - Introduction1:57 - Comeback Story2:10 - Cancer Survivor Story2:52 - From the Beginning4:19 - During the Physical Exam5:49 - Diagnosed March of 20176:20 - What's the Course of Action?8:48 - 5 Years Clear in May9:11 - 9 Weeks of Chemo then Back to Volleyball10:28 - Chemotherapy Was Very Scary13:12 - Raw Vegan13:48 - Grain Brain Book14:30 - An Athlete's Perspective on Cancer Treatment15:54 - Only 28 Days 16:31 - Blocking Analogy and the Importance of Setting18:29 - Back to Your Chemotherapy Approach19:06 - My Hair Came Back19:28 - There are Reminders20:02 - Relying on the Data with Confidence21:21 - What is Your Advice to Men?22:58 - Fortunate to Play Volleyball During Chemo23:51 - Feeling Comfortable and Safe 26:09 - Is it a Challenge to Get People to See the Doctor?27:15 - The blessing of family support28:12 - Effects of Chemotherapy28:57 - Timeline to Hermosa Beach 201729:46 - 2017 Hermosa Beach AVP Qualifier 32:49 - Playing Stadium Court34:02 - Reality Check34:27 - 2017 Manhattan Beach AVP Qualifier35:59 - Mentoring Eric Beranek37:19 - Playing with Eric's Energy Levels38:24 - 2018 MBO Top Ten Video Clip40:56 - Different Mindset in Austin42:31 - Work Responsibilities Spiked42:58 - 2018 MBO AVP Qualifier47:14 - Last Match to Get In48:37 - One of My Biggest Moments49:17 - Jason's Compilation of Top 5 Qualifier Matches in Last Decade50:28 - Well of Strength in Overcoming Challenges52:21 - Similarities with Tri Bourne53:30 - Culmination of Playing AVP55:35 - Journey of Athlete to Parenting56:36 - College Athletes and Social Media57:42 - Separation Between Being Parent and Coach59:04 - Taking a Step Back and Broadcasting 1:00:28 - Color Commentary at Long Beach State1:02:30 - Opportunities1:03:22 - Where Do You Go from Here in Your Athletic Journey?1:04:38 - 2018 Labor Day CalCutta1:07:26 - No Wins on Saturday = No Sleep1:08:16 - Something Happened Sunday and We Clicked1:09:18 - Winning and Finding Fulfillment1:12:50 - Do You Have Fun Playing For Fun?1:14:00 - Ran First 10K Super Bowl Sunday1:14:49 - Half Iron Man and California Coastal Classic Bicycle Ride1:15:54 - Set a Goal and Go Achieve It1:17:10 - Comfortable Discomfort with Challenges1:19:20 - Longest Running Event or Distance1:20:55 - Iron Man Challenge1:22:15 - Wisdom to Yourself or the Younger Generation1:23:58 - Be Better1:24:38 - Where Can People Find You?1:26:28 - WIMTS Podcast Closing Links & Where to Find MattArthritis Foundation - DONATE HEREhttps://events.arthritis.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donate.participant&participantID=261153See More from Wendy JoneBroadcasts on ESPN+ Plus for Long Beach Men's Volleyball www.NVAUSA.comwww.VolleyballWorld.TVIG - @themattprosser

Hi Soothers! I'm so excited today to bring you an amazing interview with Afua Ofosu-Barko, a past student of my Introduction to Intentional Dating course.

It's the adult school we all desperately need."

As Ram Dass once said, “If you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family.” I'm thinking about this quote as many of us are grappling with the Omicron variant and trying to make the most of this winter break. This time of year can be hard for everyone, and I'm also thinking about all of us in recovery who have difficult family histories, for whom the holiday season might bring up difficult or outright traumatic memories. During this challenging time, I wanted to have an episode that was hopeful and full of practical teachings about both meditative and recovery practices. So I'm very grateful that I had the chance to sit down with Gary Sanders.Gary is a Buddhist teacher, person in recovery, and a joyful and energizing presence. As we discuss, he has had to practice deeply to get there. After an emotionally and physically abusive childhood, Gary was caught up in addiction, then embarked on a long road of exploring different mutual help approaches to recovery. From AA, to secular groups, to multiple Buddhist mutual help groups, Gary has explored several pathways to recovery. We discuss his path, his meditation practice, psychedelics, and how he needed more than extraordinary states of consciousness as part of his recovery. We also talk at length about metta (lovingkindness), and how lovingkindness practices were a central part of his recovery from addiction and trauma. I found our conversation calming and inspiring, and I hope you do too.Gary Sanders is a teacher at Portland Insight Meditation Community in the lineage of Ruth Denison, in the Burmese lineage of Vipassana Buddhism. For more information, check out the PIMC website and their Facebook page. He can also be found as a regular contributor to The Tattooed Buddha, and Gary's website (though under construction at the moment) has a great repository of some guided meditations and teachings: Boundless Heart Dharma.In this episode: - The Buddhist Recovery Network - 8-step Recovery, an alternative recovery program using Buddhist teachings. - Secular Organizations for Sobriety , "a nonprofit network of autonomous, non-professional local groups, dedicated solely to helping individuals achieve and maintain sobriety/abstinence from alcohol and drug addiction, food addiction and more." - Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, the classic book by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi - Spirit Rock Statement on allegations of rape, sexual harassment and other misconduct we discussed. - The Jhanas: “mental or meditative absorption,” “a set of states of deep and subtle concentration focused on a single object.” - Lovingkindness: the classic book by Sharon Salzberg - A Zen translation of the Metta sutra - My interview with Kevin Griffin, episode 3 of this podcast.Sign up for my newsletter for regular updates on new interviews, material, and other writings.

All feelings are helpful. They inform us. They direct us to take a course of action that can help us to feel better and become more. This is why it is so important to allow ourselves to feel uncomfortable feelings, to allow them and not push them away. Making space for all feelings is how we can exist in life and be capable of growing and learning as we go through the good and the not so good. Learn from coach Kathleen and Dr. Monica how to feel comfortable with feeling uncomfortable and to gain the wisdom from within that comes from all of your feelings and how to use effective coaching techniques that will help you to move through uncomfortable knowing it's temporary and part of your growth. www.kathleenmartincoaching.com www.monicabennett.biz www.lifecoachradio.net www.facebook.com/lifecoachpodcast
