Though our culture has changed dramatically through the decades, there are certain issues that will always present difficult challenges in the lives of adolescent girls. Today on Family Talk, you'll hear Dr. James Dobson speak with his daughter, Danae Dobson, about her book, Let's Walk the Talk! Girlfriend to Girlfriend on Faith, Friendship and Finding Real Love. She discusses tough subjects such as self-esteem, peer-pressure, and dating, as well as sisterly advice on how we can have faith and trust God to navigate us through these rough seas of life. Listen as Danae shares and articulates some of the best advice she's been given, “It pays to follow Jesus!” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/707/29?v=20251111

Amy and Kat kick off the episode with a feeling that might hit way too close to home: “I think I might need to cry.” Speaking of crying, science says that if you cry easily it might mean your brain is working better than you think. They break down findings on why people who tear up easily have faster processing, and how “emotion labeling” can calm your brain in just 90 seconds. They also talk about the inconvenient nature of friendships and relationships (including an airport pickup that went sideways with Amy’s boyfriend), what truly makes a bond healthy, and why mutual investment matters more than proximity or shared experiences. And with Christmas coming up, they close out with a reminder: there are things you absolutely don’t owe your family during the holidays. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

For this episode, we want to tackle a topic that's been on our list for a long time — fly fishing myths and misunderstandings.We're not here to argue about stuff or complain. We just want to acknowledge things that we hear repeated or we see in print or shown in videos — stuff that's almost assumed as fact, when it's often not true at all.We do think it's important to try to clear the air about these myths and misunderstandings, because bad or incomplete information can really lead people down the wrong path. Or an angler might base many decisions about how they fish, where they fish, when they fish or what they fish for based, in part, upon these myths or these assumptions.Most of what we bring up is well engrained into the fly fishing field of knowledge. Basically, most of you out there listening will have heard nearly everything we bring up. Maybe too, you'll have a different take on things, and some of these won't be myths to you at all. That's good. Because you really should trust yourself and your own time on the water more than anyone else. My friends, Bill Dell and Josh Darling join me for a great conversation.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | What To Trust - S5, Ep11READ: Troutbitten | What To TrustREAD: Troutbitten | Who Knows Better Than You? VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/

In this episode, I share why your intuition—not another framework—is the method you've been looking for. I talk about how A Discovery of Witches helped me see my own magic more clearly, why 2025 has been a year of intense shedding, and how ignoring your body's wisdom buries your intuition. We'll explore: Why templates and scripts eventually become cages The difference between intuition, anxiety, and projection How to read the body and field without overstepping What justice-aligned, sovereignty-first intuitive language sounds like Why so many intuitive practitioners feel “over-trained and under-trusting” If you've ever sensed more in session than your modality accounts for—and felt unsure how to use it ethically—this conversation is for you.

The above video and audio were created based on a blog post I wrote a number of years ago. The post read:We can all make friends. It's a talent we've had since we were little children. Use it. Take time out today to make some new friends — not just acquaintances, but real friends. You can start with your social networks and eventually branch out to creating professional relationships that are made up of real friends.LyricsHere are the lyrics to the song (sung by Amy Walker):In my circle, I weave connections tight,From my social media, I find my delight.LinkedIn's where I meet new faces,Networking's how we build our bases.Coffee shops are where I start to grow,Chatting with colleagues, sharing a dough.We laugh, we learn, we grow together,Friendship's what we sow, and it blossoms sweeter.Building bonds, let's start today,In every corner, a friend is waiting to play.Through ups and downs, we'll stick together,With every handshake, we're stronger together.Building bonds, let's not delay,Reach out, extend your hand, say good day!In every heart, a friend can find,Let's make these connections shine.A smile can open doors wide,A kind word can change someone's tide.In every face, a story lies,Let's listen, let's embrace, let's build ties.At work, at play, we share the scene,In every moment, a friend is seen.From the small talk to the big deal,Our friendships grow, are always real.Life's a journey, full of twists and turns,But with a friend, we can always learn.Together we face life's every test,Hand in hand, we'll never rest.Building bonds, let's start today,In every corner, a friend is waiting to play.Through ups and downs, we'll stick together,With every handshake, we're stronger together.Building bonds, let's not delay,Reach out, extend your hand, say good day.In every heart, a friend can find,Let's make these connections shine.Source: https://bookmarketingbestsellers.com/the-essence-of-book-marketing-making-real-friendsBook Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

When Jacinda Ardern became Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2017 at the age of 37, she was the youngest female head of government in the world. She also made history as only the second elected leader to give birth while in office. She resigned in 2023 after more than five years in post saying she no longer had enough in the tank and, since then, has engaged in global work focused on empathy in leadership and the prevention of online extremism. As a new documentary film, Prime Minister, is out in cinemas now, Jacinda talks to Kylie Pentelow.The government has just unveiled its new HIV Action Plan with the stated goal of tackling stigma and to end transmissions in England by 2030. Public Health Minister Ashley Dalton discusses the policy along with Ellie Harrison, who was diagnosed HIV positive when she was 21.Are friendships with exes a bad idea or a sign of growing up? Journalist Olivia Petter and comedian Rosie Wilby join Nuala McGovern to explore how relationships with ex-partners evolve after a breakup, and why staying in touch can look different in straight and LGBTQ+ communities.Columnist Sarah Vine started losing her hair as a teenager and was eventually diagnosed with female pattern baldness, a hormonal condition. But now she has decided, after 15 years of wearing wigs, to reveal her own hair on the front cover of a national newspaper.

Emma Shepherd is the founder of the Maternity Teacher Paternity Teacher Project and Branwen Jeffries is the BBC's Education Editor.Do you like everything to be perfect for dinner party hosting – the spotless house, the elaborate menu, the Instagram-worthy table setting? But what if the secret to a great dinner party isn't perfection, but scruffy hosting – a trend that is apparently transforming the way we gather together and makes stress-free dinner parties more attainable - perhaps a one-pot dinner, mismatched cutlery, toys under the table or children running around screaming. Helen Thorn, Comedian, Podcaster and one half of Scummy Mummies tells Nuala why she embraces this type of hosting.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Dianne McGregor

William F. Buckley Jr., the charismatic intellectual who defined modern American conservatism, was famously skilled at forging friendships across the ideological divide, a talent that helped him both shape the political landscape and navigate public opinion. His capacity for personal charm allowed him to be a public extremist and a private moderate, keeping him in the good graces of the liberal elite, including figures like Senator George McGovern and activist Allard Lowenstein, even as he worked to advance his conservative agenda; however, this magnanimity had its limits, most famously with his true enemy, Gore Vidal. Today's guest is Josh Cohen, author of William F. Buckley Jr.'s Guide to Friendship in a Polarized Era, and we explore how this patrician gatekeeper of the right strategically used ideological "frenemies" and acquaintances, such as the surprising connection with Hugh Hefner, to legitimize his movement and advance his influence, culminating in the infamous, televised confrontation with Gore Vidal that exposed how even Buckley's renowned decorum shattered when his core beliefs were challenged.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some connections never really fade—no matter how much time, distance, or real life gets in the way. A woman reaches out to someone she vaguely remembers from childhood… and ends up reconnecting with a person who feels strangely familiar in all the ways that matter. Late-night phone calls turn into emotional lifelines. Friendship starts to blur at the edges. She moves on, starts a family, begins the next chapter. He tries to do the same—but finds himself trapped in a relationship that's slowly destroying him. And when she finally sets a boundary to protect her own life, she never expects it to be the last time she'll ever hear his voice. But guilt has a way of twisting itself into blame… until she opens something she hasn't looked at in years: his old MySpace page. What happens in that moment feels less like nostalgia—and more like a message she didn't know she still needed. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedMemories #EmotionalHauntings #UnfinishedGoodbyes #ParanormalComfort #SpiritsAmongUs #BeyondTheVeil #LostConnections #TrueParanormal #GhostStoryPodcast  Love real ghost stories?

In this episode, clinical psychologist Margaret Boucher has an illuminating conversation with NPR journalist Rhaina Cohen on the power of platonic partnerships and how the thrill, intimacy, and commitment we seek is often found through meaningful friendship. * Sharing insights from her years of original reporting and social science research, Rhaina argues that we undermine romantic relationships by expecting too much of them and diminish friendships by expecting too little of them. At a time when many Americans are spending large stretches of their lives single, widowed, divorced, or feeling the effects of the "loneliness epidemic," Rhaina challenges us to ask what we want from our relationships—not just what we're supposed to want—and helps us to examine how we define a fulfilling life. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on July 31st, 2025.

The things that didn't. And what we wish we could've gotten a little more of! As Cindy Fee would sing, thank you for being a friend!

"If a friend doesn't feel safe with you, you can forget the rest."  True friendship begins with seeing past our own filters. Most people walk through life inside invisible "bubbles"—patterns of conditioning, beliefs, and echo chambers that shape how we perceive others. These bubbles make the world feel smaller, narrower, and more divided, especially when they harden into judgment or fear. Breaking through them requires awareness: noticing when we collapse into assumptions, when we make others invisible, and when we protect ourselves instead of opening up. Friendship asks for presence, safety, curiosity, and the willingness to grow.  Barnet Bain shares how understanding our internal narratives can transform connection. Through vivid metaphors and reflective insight, Barnet explores why some friendships form instantly, how unconscious overlap creates comfort, and how intentional skill-building can open the door to meaningful relationships with people beyond our bubble. Barnet explains why safety, non-judgment, and conscious listening are the foundations of human connection.  Barnet is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and educator whose work explores creativity and the human spirit.

stood stoic along the paths.Nl: De feestelijke lampjes zorgden voor een zachte gloed in de vroege avond.En: The festive lights provided a soft glow in the early evening.Nl: De lucht was fris en helder, gevuld met de vage geluiden van sinterklaasliedjes en gelach van kinderen in de verte.En: The air was fresh and clear, filled with the faint sounds of sinterklaasliedjes and the laughter of children in the distance.Nl: Bram en Maartje ontmoetten elkaar bij de oude fontein, zoals ze elk jaar rond deze tijd deden.En: Bram and Maartje met at the old fountain, as they did every year around this time.Nl: "Sinterklaas is altijd onze traditie geweest," zei Bram zachtjes terwijl hij zijn blik op de sneeuwvlokken liet rusten die om hen heen dwarrelden.En: "Sinterklaas has always been our tradition," said Bram softly while resting his gaze on the snowflakes swirling around them.Nl: Hij hield vast aan deze momenten.En: He held fast to these moments.Nl: Voor hem was het als een stukje verleden dat hij niet wilde verliezen.En: For him, it was like a piece of the past he didn't want to lose.Nl: Maartje keek hem aan met een sprankeling in haar ogen.En: Maartje looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes.Nl: "Ja," zei ze, "maar soms kan verandering ook mooi zijn.En: "Yes," she said, "but sometimes change can be beautiful too.Nl: Misschien kunnen we een nieuwe draai geven aan deze traditie?"En: Maybe we can put a new spin on this tradition?"Nl: Haar woorden zweefden teder in de koude lucht, een uitnodiging tot iets nieuws.En: Her words floated tenderly in the cold air, an

Hun woorden vermengden zich met de klanken van de feesten om hen heen, tot het moment dat Bram even stil viel en nadacht.En: Their words mingled with the sounds of the festivities around them until Bram fell silent for a moment and thought.Nl: Hij keek naar zijn vriendin, met wie hij al zoveel had gedeeld.En: He looked at his friend, with whom he had shared so much.Nl: "Oké," zei hij zacht,

melodie die langzaam vorm begon te krijgen.En: Together, they walked through the park, sharing small gifts and jokes with strangers, swaying to the sounds of their own melody that slowly began to take shape.Nl: Aan het einde van de avond, toen de lampen flikkerden en de sneeuw hun voetstappen bedekte, voelden ze zich dichter bij elkaar dan ooit.En: By the end of the evening, when the lights flickered and the snow covered their footprints, they felt closer to each other than ever.Nl: Bram had geleerd dat tradities kunnen groeien en veranderen, net als vriendschappen.En: Bram had learned that traditions can grow and change, just like friendships.Nl: Maartje had een nieuw respect gekregen voor het oude, terwijl ze verder zocht naar het nieuwe.En: Maartje had gained a new respect for

We all want to be happy. But most of us chase the wrong things to get there. Studies repeatedly show that money and success won't bring lasting joy. The Bible said it first: real happiness is found in relationships. In this episode, Patrick and Keith explore why we're wired for community, what kinds of friendships we need to grow in faith, and how to become the kind of friend others need. Because Christianity is a community project and nobody becomes a saint by themselves.

In four powerful reminders from Orchos Tzaddikim, Rabbi Wolbe teaches us how to live every single day with awe, humility, and unstoppable growth:Stay in your lane of wonder Remember you are lower than the angels yet infinitely higher than animals. Hashem made you master of the entire physical world — fruit, fish, birds, beasts — and then revealed His deepest secrets to you in the Torah. The only proper response is to walk through life like a humbled servant who has just been crowned king: “How grateful one must be for all of this!”Grow so slowly the Yetzer Hara doesn't even notice The secret to permanent change is tiny, tiny habits. Rabbi Wolbe shares his grandfather's Yom Kippur War story: the IDF flew the plane just inches above the sand to stay under Egyptian radar. “That's how we grow,” he says. If you announce “I'll never speak lashon hara again!” the yetzer hara shoots you down instantly. But if you quietly commit to never switching on one unnecessary light on Shabbos — a tiny blip — the yetzer hara thinks it's just a bird. Once that tiny mitzvah becomes part of your DNA, the ground beneath you rises, the radar rises with it, and suddenly you're flying high without ever having triggered the alarm. “Small step → habit → new you → higher radar → next small step.” Quotable gem: “The yetzer hara has perfect radar for big declarations… but it completely misses the guy crawling under the fence with one tiny improvement.”Invest in real friends (without an agenda) Always do good for others exactly the way you wish they would do good for you — but do it because it's right, not because you'll have a side benefit that they love you back. Rabbi Wolbe contrasts this with a famous self-help book on “how to win friends” that left him disgusted: “That book teaches how to kiss up so people will kiss up to you. That's networking, not friendship.” True brotherhood is loving them for their sake, not yours. “Reveal your deepest secrets only to one in a thousand… but give your kindness to everyone.”Fall in love with the world every single morning Because we see sunrises, rain, flowers, and stars every day, we stop being amazed — and that is the greatest tragedy. Orchos Tzaddikim demands we live as if we were blind from birth and today, for the first time, our eyes opened. “Pretend you just landed from Mars and you've never seen a tulip, a thunderstorm, or a Texas sunset — then look!” Rabbi Wolbe confesses he was “a little selfish” this Shabbos and bought his wife tulips because he personally finds them breathtaking. His plea: “Pull over on the side of the road when you see that sunset. It's Hashem's personal love note to you right now. Don't get used to miracles.”Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on April 28, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 2, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Friendship is one of the topics we get asked about most, so we brought back Dr. Marisa Franco, one of the world's leading voices on human connection. We dive straight into the heart of modern friendship and start with something that influences every relationship we have: attachment styles. Marisa explains how these patterns begin in childhood, how they show up differently in adulthood, and why none of us fit neatly into one category. We explore one of the biggest questions we hear from listeners: if you tend to be anxious or avoidant, do you end up attracting friends with the same tendencies? Marisa shares one of her biggest challenges in her research—secure people continue to find each other easily, while those who struggle with connection often repeat the same patterns with similar types of friends.Since many of you are new moms or navigating school-aged seasons, we ask Marisa what to do when a friend needs more from you than you can realistically give. She reminds us that it's okay to say no and that saying no with kindness helps preserve the relationship.Although friendship looks natural from the outside, we share honestly that it hasn't always been effortless for us either. Amy opens up about how isolating early motherhood felt and why making new friends during that time was unexpectedly hard. If you're in a season where friendship feels like it has to fall to the bottom of the list, Marisa offers a powerful reminder of why connection still matters—and what small steps can help bring it back to the forefront.Finally, we talk about the hardest part of friendship: knowing when it's time to end one. Should you let the relationship fade or have a more direct conversation? Marisa shares how to discern which path is right, and she gives guidance on something we rarely talk about—grieving a friendship.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Listen to HERself episode #145 Dr. Marisa Franco on the Importance of Adult Friendship; https://www.herselfpodcast.com/listen/adultfriendshipRead Dr. Marisa Franco's Book; Platonic: https://amzlink.to/az0lb2DLKWeWk Follow Marisa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisagfranco/Dr. Marisa's Website: https://drmarisagfranco.com/HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastLMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELFLet's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Is friendship about virtue or delight? In 2023, we were interviewed by Andrew Elrick, now a professor at Marist University, for a documentary podcast he was making about men and friendship. (Two of our favorite topics!) That podcast never came to fruition, but Andy was kind enough to share this audio with us, and now we're sharing it with you: a conversation about friendship — Matt and Sam's in particular — politics, and podcasting.
