Fifth-time guest Lisa Harper is back — fresh off a whirlwind trip through England, Wales, the Netherlands, and Scotland, and still nursing the jet lag. Between hug-ministry theology, Levi's 75-day merino wool shorts experiment (Lisa remains skeptical), and a surprise moment praying with a stranger in a London store, the conversation turns to Lisa's new book on the Song of Songs — unpacking how the Bible's most intimate book taught her that God delights in her, brokenness and all.

Matt Fox joined me to chat about his interest in the marathon after coming from a National class middle distance background, his trajectory with content creation, the Chinese running shoe market, and his power weight ratio journey.  Matt Fox: sweatelite.co | IG: @mattinglisfox Episode Sponsors: LMNT: drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off) Kila Insoles: kilarun.com Code: BITTER ($50 Off) Episode summary: Zach Bitter interviews Matt Fox (Sweat Elite) Matt's background: Former Australian middle-distance runner who twice finished 5th at Olympic/World trials (consistent 1:48 800m). Felt he "failed" after never making a national team, which later fueled his curiosity about how better runners train. How Sweat Elite started: After a failed Strava-like app, Matt launched a site interviewing pros. He later began filming elite workouts (inspired by old FloTrack videos), but it lost money due to last-minute travel costs and limited YouTube revenue. He recouped losses by documenting his own marathon builds. Content landscape: Athletes now prefer posting their own journeys, making third-party workout videos harder. Influencers-as-coaches is a growing issue; both agree formal qualifications aren't required (many great coaches never had them), but buyers should do due diligence. Bad influencer coaches can still introduce people to the sport who later seek better help. Creators they follow: Truett Haynes (humor + ambitious Olympic Trials goal despite current times being far off; recently hired Rory Linkletter). Also Eric Floberg (cinematography) and Rory Linkletter (authenticity, Canadian marathon record pursuit). Weight/body composition debate: Matt accidentally got very lean (70 kg) for a 2:20 marathon, then gained 3–4 kg and plateaued at 2:23–2:24. After noticing he was much larger than the Japanese runners he raced with, he used carb-cycling (high carbs around key sessions, deficit on easy days) to drop back to ~69 kg and ran 2:18–2:19. He has since lost another ~12 kg. He stresses this is highly individual and risky. Personality matters: people with OCD/obsessive tendencies are more likely to develop RED-S or eating disorders. He now studies nutrition to give safer guidance. Examples cited: Josh Kerr's long-term leaning-out, George Cush dropping weight before winning Comrades, Ryan Hall hitting a point where further loss hurt performance. Both emphasize timing (fuel hard sessions, restrict on recovery days), not living in a perpetual deficit, and resetting after races. Chinese super shoes: Matt recently lab-tested 12 models from Anta, Li-Ning, 361°, Xtep, Dynafish, etc. Many perform comparably to Western shoes at half the price and often last longer. Notable mentions: Li-Ning Dragon Flight (79 g, technically illegal but extremely fast; a legal version is coming), Anta C10 (very similar to Puma Fast-R), Dynafish trainer (versatile, durable, sub-200 g). Barriers in the U.S.: high tariffs, limited specialty-store distribution, and brands currently focused on the Chinese market. Anta and Li-Ning are expanding globally. Matt's current status: Recovering from injury, posting daily on Instagram/Strava as Matt Fox. Targeting a 2:17 or faster at the Melbourne Marathon in two months.

Compersion – feeling joy for another person's joy – is a beautiful thing, especially when it comes to non-monogamy. But, like anything that's bright and shiny, there's a shadow side to compersion, and we've seen it become a stumbling block in non-monogamous relationships time and time again.When we elevate compersion as a virtue in polyamory, we accidentally create some real problems. Surprisingly, the shadow of compersion isn't about jealousy at all—it's about the pressure, the performance, and the unintended consequences of treating compersion like a moral requirement. If compersion is virtuous, does that mean the absence of compersion is a moral failing? Most of us would say no, but conversations within our communities often tell a different story; people who experience compersion are elevated, celebrated, and held up as examples of "doing non-monogamy right," while those who don't feel compersion end up feeling like they're failing at non-monogamy.In this episode, we talk about:— Why compersion and jealousy are not mutually exclusive (you can feel both at the same time!)— The dangerous elevation of compersion as a virtue and what that does to people who don't experience it easily— How the pressure to feel compersion can lead to performative emotions and enmeshment— The difference between big, electric compersion and the subtle, quiet bubbles of compersion that are easy to miss— Why your partner doesn't owe you compersion, and why demanding it creates unhealthy dynamics— The importance of neutrality and consent as valid emotional states (not everything has to feel good to be okay)— How focusing too much on compersion can cause us to neglect other important emotions like grief, envy, and jealousy— The archetypal nature of emotions and why we need to tend to all of them, not just the "positive" ones— Why jealousy isn't something we can or should transmute into compersion— Practical ways to interrupt harmful cultural conversations that demonize jealousy or pressure people to feel compersion— How to cultivate the attitude of compersion without requiring yourself to feel the emotionResources mentioned in this episode:— Episode 157 What is Compersion? with Dr. Marie ThouinJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both.Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of The Michael Chernow Podcast, Michael sits down with Alexander Stein for an unfiltered conversation about disordered eating, body dysmorphia, fitness obsession, and the struggles men rarely talk about. Alex shares how his relationship with food began changing at just eight years old and eventually became decades of restriction, over-exercising, coffee, and one meal a day. At his lowest point, he was 6'2" and 140 pounds, yet still struggled to recognize how unhealthy he had become. Michael also opens up about developing his own unhealthy relationship with food and fitness after getting sober, leading to a larger conversation about the incredibly thin line between discipline and obsession. They examine modern fitness culture, intermittent fasting, body-image pressure, social media, and why behaviors that look “healthy” from the outside can sometimes be driven by fear and control. Alex explains the moment hearing Nikki Glaser speak openly about her own struggles finally made him feel understood, why being told he didn't technically qualify as anorexic became a dangerous challenge in his mind, and what ultimately helped him rebuild his relationship with food. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever wondered: Am I actually healthy—or am I obsessed?KOHhttps://kreaturesofhabit.comIGhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelchernowhttps://www.instagram.com/kreaturesofhabitCHAPTERS:0:00 Intro & Trigger Warning4:33 What Does Disordered Eating Actually Look Like?7:02 Dieting at Just 8 Years Old12:12 The Fear of Ever Getting Fat16:28 6'2" and 140 Pounds — How Bad It Got19:00 Michael's Own Battle With Food After Sobriety23:13 20 Years of Food Rules & Body Dysmorphia27:27 Coffee, One Meal a Day & Extreme Restriction30:26 Healthy or Obsessed?

When dysfunction is all you know, it can feel normal.For Michaela, growing up with a narcissistic father meant fear, control, walking on eggshells, protecting her younger siblings, and even parenting her own parents. For years, she didn't realize how unhealthy her family dynamics were. It wasn't until she encountered healthy families that she began to see how different love could look.In this episode, Michaela shares how those relationships helped reshape her understanding of family, love, boundaries, and healing.We talk about:Why unhealthy family dynamics can feel normal when you grow up inside themWhat it's like growing up with a narcissistic and controlling parentHow healthy families and mentors can show you a different way to loveHow to stop carrying responsibility for everyone around youWhy forgiveness doesn't always require reconciliationIf you grew up with a narcissistic, abusive, or deeply dysfunctional parent and want to build something healthier, this episode is for you.Resources MentionedFree Guide: 7 Ways to Work Through the Pain of Your Parents' DivorceBook: It's Not Your FaultShare Your Story with Restored

Have you ever met someone who treated you well… and still found yourself wondering if something was missing?As a psychologist, I've seen this happen more often than most people realize.Many women say they want peace, consistency, and emotional safety—but when they finally experience those qualities, they can feel unfamiliar because chaos, uncertainty, or emotional highs and lows have become what their nervous system recognizes as "normal."In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, I invite you into a different kind of conversation. Together, we'll compare two relationships, explore how your nervous system responds to each, and uncover why healthy love often feels different than we've been taught to expect.In this episode you'll learn:

Andy and Randy talk about how different Falcons Training Camp has felt under the new regime and the plans to play the starters in the first preseason game this Friday being a change from how prior regimes used the preseason.

Have you ever reached the end of the day and thought, “That wasn't how I wanted today to feel”?Maybe you answered the emails, served your family, and checked everything off your list. And yet you still climbed into bed wondering where the time went.We usually blame time. “If I just had more.” “If life would slow down.” “If this week were different.”But what if that conversation didn't begin with your calendar? What if it started much earlier than you realize?This week on the podcast, we're continuing our conversation about time by going all the way back to the beginning, not to find a better planning system, but to discover what God intended when He created time itself.Inside This EpisodeIn today's conversation, we'll explore:* Why the Bible's story of time begins before there were people, work, or calendars.* What Genesis 1 reveals about God's purpose for creating time.* Why time isn't your enemy, even if it sometimes feels that way.* What changed in Genesis 3 that affects how we experience every ordinary Tuesday.* One simple morning rhythm to help you begin receiving time as God's good gift.This Week's Sacred TruthOne sentence from Genesis has stayed with me all week.God called it good.Not just the light. Not just the land. Not just the living creatures. In fact, time itself, marked by evening and morning, the exact place where God put mankind, was part of God's very good creation.That means time wasn't created to pressure you, keep you behind, or become the enemy. Time was created as the place where God would meet with His people.So if time often feels like something working against us, perhaps the problem isn't time itself. Perhaps it's that something has changed the way we experience something God originally called good.That's a very different place to begin. Because if God called time good, maybe we can begin receiving it as a gift again.This is just the beginning.

Some questions don't have easy answers.Have you ever experienced an unexplained fear that didn't seem connected to anything in your life? Felt an immediate connection with someone you had just met? Or found yourself repeating the same emotional patterns despite years of self-reflection and personal growth?In this follow-up conversation, Marianne welcomes licensed somatic psychotherapist and certified spiritual integration hypnotherapist Melanie Smithson back to Message in the Middle to explore a topic that invites curiosity more than certainty: past-life regression and the possibility that some of our present-day struggles may have roots beyond this lifetime.Whether you approach this conversation through a spiritual lens, a symbolic one, or with healthy skepticism, Melanie offers thoughtful insights into why some experiences seem resistant to traditional explanations and how exploring them can sometimes open the door to deeper healing.Together, they discuss: What past-life regression actually is  Why some fears and emotional patterns seem to have no obvious origin  Soul connections and why certain relationships feel instantly familiar  How the body and spirit may work together in healing  The role curiosity plays in personal growth  Why some of life's biggest questions don't always have simple answers This isn't an episode about convincing you what to believe.It's an invitation to stay curious.Connect with Melanie:  http://www.smithsonclinic.com/ Connect with Marianne:Website:  Message In The Middle with MarianneMessage In the Middle Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlistsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966Email:  Contact | Message In The Middle with MarianneSubscribe to Message In the Middle:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeLeave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

August 6th, 2026: In this episode of The Live Better Project, I'm sharing one of the biggest changes I've noticed since I stopped mindlessly scrolling social media: my attention span is coming back.For years, I couldn't watch a TV show without checking my phone, read a book during the day without getting distracted, or simply enjoy a moment without wondering if I should be filming it for social media. Even conversations were constantly interrupted by notifications or the urge to check my phone.But after just a few weeks of intentionally putting my phone down for longer periods of time, something surprising happened.I can sit through an entire episode of Big Brother without reaching for my phone. I can read in the middle of the day. I can have uninterrupted conversations. I can enjoy experiences without feeling like every moment needs to become content.It's not perfect, but the difference has been shocking.In this episode, we discuss:How mindless scrolling changed my ability to focusWhy every moment doesn't need to become contentThe surprising speed at which attention can recoverWhy being present feels so much more fulfilling than documenting everythingSmall habits that helped me spend less time on my phoneIf you've ever wondered where your attention span went, this episode is for you.THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!Bellesa - Today's episode is sponsored by Bellesa Boutique!

Do you remember what it feels like to be fully alive? Not busy. Not productive. Not checking things off a list. Alive. Many women spend years taking care of everyone else, meeting expectations, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities. Somewhere along the way, joy becomes optional, curiosity gets pushed aside, and life starts to feel more like something we're managing than something we're experiencing. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring what it means to feel truly alive and why so many of us have become disconnected from that feeling. We talk about: the difference between surviving and living how responsibility can slowly replace joy why so many successful women feel something is missing curiosity, play, wonder, and aliveness the relationship between authenticity and vitality reconnecting with what lights you up remembering the parts of yourself that have been waiting for your attention What if the thing you're longing for isn't more achievement? What if you're longing to feel fully alive again? Because maybe the question isn't what's missing from your life. Maybe the question is what part of you has been missing from your life. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect.

Relationships are messy, and when you re-imagine life with three instead of two, well, let's just say the complexity multiplies in ways you might not expect, even if you've been practicing non-monogamy for decades. So what does it actually take to build a throuple that both honors each person's individuality and creates a beautiful togetherness? And how do you navigate that when each person brings their own neurodivergence, relationship history, and vision of what love should look like?This week, we're sitting down with Margo, Chris, and Jodi—affectionately known as "the Throupledom"—to talk about their journey of building a relationship that defies easy categorization. These three incredible humans are Year Of Opening® alums, and what unfolded inside their cohort was nothing short of transformative. They've experimented with living arrangements, deconstructed couples privilege from multiple angles, navigated different timelines of NRE wearing off, and created space for one partner to explore mono-amory while staying in a throuple.If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to be in a committed multi-partner relationship while honoring radically different relationship orientations, or if you're curious about what it really takes to dismantle default relationship structures, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we talk about:— How Chris and Margo's 20+ years of "messy" non-monogamy didn't fully prepare them for the game-changing nature of this triad— Why Jodi falling in love for the first time brought up all the "mono normie Disney princess brouhaha" neither of them expected— The pivotal moment when Jodi admitted, "I was trying to break you two up," and how that radical honesty became a turning point— How neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, PTSD) shapes each person's relationship needs and why recognizing these patterns was essential to their survival as a throuple— The difference between bifurcating yourself across relationships versus showing up as your whole self—and why that shift was so challenging for Chris— What happened when the NRE wore off at different times for different dyads (spoiler: it got really hard)— How they've experimented with "multi-nesting" and why they've tried everything from all together in a one bedroom apartment to living separately five minutes apart— Why taking breaks from each other wasn't a sign of failure but actually a crucial tool for growth— The power of parts work (Internal Family Systems) in helping each person recognize patterns without shame— How they're creating space for Jodi to explore monoamory within a thruple, and why that's not actually a contradiction— The difference between equality and equanimity in relationships, and why that distinction was a game-changer— Why they describe themselves as "scientists" in their relationship—constantly experimenting, adjusting, and trying again without attachment to any single outcome— How psychedelic journeys helped Margo recognize the soul-level connection with Chris that gave her confidence to keep choosing this relationship— What it means to find security not through conditionality (marriage, cohabitation, exclusivity) but through the ineffable thread that connects them— Why "home" became such a complicated word for them, and how they're navigating the search for a shared physical spaceJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

Send us Fan MailAfter travel, disrupted sleep, and a difficult medication taper, Matt feels depleted—and immediately starts questioning everything. Does his work matter? Is the podcast helping anyone? Is something genuinely wrong, or is exhaustion turning a temporary emotional state into a verdict on his entire life?Matt and Steve talk about the dangerous stories that can surface when they feel flat, including the old urge to fix the feeling or escape it altogether. They also look at the less dramatic tools that help: movement, routine, reaching out, changing up meetings, and remembering that progress sometimes means feeling bad without drinking, lashing out, or believing every thought that enters your head.Support the show

Nick Lloyd, author of The Western Front: A History of the Great War, Volume 1: 1914-1918, examines the immense psychological strain placed on early German leadership, specifically Helmuth von Moltke the Younger, who felt crushed by the military legacy of his uncle. Tasked with the ambitious Schlieffen Plan, Moltke's insecurity led him to alter the balance of forces, weakening the critical "swinging door" through Belgium, which ultimately contributed to his nervous breakdown by September 1914. The Kaiser, described as a "weather vane" with a fluctuating personality, remained a distant figurehead rather than a day-to-day commander, often feeling sidelined by his generals. As the war progressed, Erich von Falkenhayn replaced Moltke, introducing a ruthless attritional vision famously realized at the Battle of Verdun, which focused on "killing Frenchmen" rather than territorial gain. This period highlights a fatal German flaw: prioritizing tactical and operational effectiveness over critical political and strategic considerations, an imbalance that hindered translating battlefield success into ultimate victory.
