This week, Reed sits down with the brilliant Michelle Elman — life coach, author, and unapologetic boundary queen. From dating without shame to grieving the loss of friendships, Michelle is here to challenge the stories we've been sold about love, loyalty, and letting go. We dive into her books The Selfish Romantic and Bad Friend, exploring why demanding more in dating is actually powerful, and why friendship breakups cut just as deep (if not deeper) than romantic ones. Michelle unpacks how ghosting erodes trust, why women are trained to soften their needs, and what it really takes to communicate with honesty (even when it hurts). Expect raw stories (including TV dates and friendship “mass exoduses”), laughter through the pain, and practical advice for anyone wondering: how do you heal when the person who knew you best walks away? Curious f**kers, whether you're redefining dating, nursing a friendship heartbreak, or just craving real talk on boundaries and self-worth, this episode is going to crack you open.

In her beautiful book, The Power of Wonder, Monica Parker, writes:“Wonder purls its way through our lives from first cry to last gasp - Moments that engage us, surprise us, take our breath away,And give us the gift of viewing the world, and our place in it,In an entirely different way.But something happens as we move from the wonder-filled days of childhood to obligation laden days of adulthood. We become increasingly jaded. Like the sun that continues to shine on a cloudy day, wonder is still there,But we just can't seem to see it anymore. And then one day we stop looking.” A world renowned speaker, author, and leading authority on the future of work, Monica has spent decades helping people discover how to lead and live wonderfully. Much of her work, which lies at the intersection of research and practice, Explores how, and why, wonder holds the potential to transform: the way we learn, develop new ideas, drive social change, and ultimately become better humans.Today's conversation is a beautiful beginning. A doorway into a mini series on the power of mystery and wonder.Themes that will make up the second part in a trilogy, which began with conversations focused on impermanence, and that will end with an exploration of love. Monica is here to kick things off. Inviting us into possibility. The possibility of looking again - Opening our eyes like we did as children and reconnecting with a reverence for the world, and all the magic in it. For More on Monica, her book: The Power of Wonder, her speaking, and her fascinating career which has included roles as diverse as being an opera singer, founder of a global human analytics and change consultancy, and a homicide investigator defending death row inmates please visit Monica-Parker.comEnjoying the show?

Have you ever felt like everyone but you received some kind of friend-making manual?Today's guest, Lee Hopkins, is a social connections and business culture coach and CEO of Patterns of Possibility – but his journey to this work started with his own decades-long struggle. In this episode, Lee shares about navigating friendship after recently learning that he has autism, and how this revelation has impacted his relationships with friends, family, and ultimately, his way of life. Lee says what's made all the difference for him in this journey of self-discovery has been boundaries, conscious conversations, and knowing himself. Once he stopped trying to fit into relationships that required him to mask who he was, it opened him up to the kinds of connection that actually nourished him. If you're feeling stuck in surface level relationships or tired of feeling like you're always performing to be accepted, then maybe it's time to get curious about what authentic connection looks like for you. In this episode you'll hear about:Lee's life-long struggle with making friends and how he discovered he had autism later in life through TikTokCommon misconceptions about autism and how this diagnosis impacted how he communicated with the people around himThe importance in understanding the communication gap between neurodivergent and neurotypical peopleMentors, intentional conversations, and why we all need to stop comparing our relationships with other people'sResources & LinksListen to other episodes about being a neurodivergent person looking for connection: Episode 40 and Episode 54. Follow Coach Lee on Instagram, on his website, listen to his podcast, and see his free resource.Like what you hear?

Today, we're talking about a transition many women face as their children grow: when the playdates, sports practices, and school events that naturally connected you to other parents end, and suddenly your social circle feels smaller. It's a season that can feel lonely, disorienting, or even intimidating, but it's also a unique opportunity. With intention and courage, you can cultivate meaningful friendships that last well beyond the schoolyard. The end of playdates doesn't mean the end of friendship; it's the beginning of a season where you can build connections rooted in choice, shared values, and God's guidance.

"Parochial and Practical Essays" is NOT a very compelling title for a book.   Luckily, the publishers convinced Michael Pakaluk to instead title his latest book "The Shock of Holiness"... and he joins Bishop Caggiano to talk about:   ...the simplest truths of the Catholic faith that show us that sanctity is closer and far more beautiful than we think, ...the levels of friendship and what friendship truly is, ...civic friendship and the murder of Charlie Kirk, ...and how a near-death experience brought him, as a practical atheist, to the Lord.   This is a fantastic conversation (way above my level) between two men who are so clearly way above my level.   And... Michael is the first guest we've ever had who offered his email address out to any listeners who want to dialogue.

What you think of yourself is directly correlated with the kind of man you are or will become. If you believe yourself to be a victim of circumstances beyond your control, you will be. If, alternatively, you believe the world is conspiring for your benefit, it will be. It is quite literally self-fulfilling prophesy. My guest today, Jay Jairdullo, knows exactly what this is like after spending 25 years in law enforcement and now a college wrestling coach, he has had to redefine himself over and over again. Today, Jay and I talk about what he calls “false masculinity,” avoiding slipping back into old patterns, the importance of core values, overcoming the victimhood mentality, and keeping yourself and others off pedestals you don't belong.

It's easy to think that some people are empathetic while others are not. And it's true that empathy comes more instinctively to some than others. But did you know that Jesus created your brain for empathy? This means that all of us naturally long to share the experience of being seen and known by God and each other.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss the gift of mirror neurons — brain cells that help us "feel with" those around us. You'll learn how to partner with Jesus to reflect the thoughts and feelings of others back to them by asking curious questions, attuning to their emotions, and being a warm presence.Resources for this Episode:Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for YouAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

          In this powerful and heartwarming episode of the Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn welcomes Kevin to share the remarkable journey of his beloved pig, Piggy. Kevin's love for animals began in childhood, but severe allergies to cats and dogs made it nearly impossible for him to have a traditional pet. After years of searching for the right companion — and even navigating the need for a doctor's prescription to keep a pig within city limits — Kevin's path led him to Piggy, a Juliana pig who would forever change his life.          Piggy came into Kevin's world at just over a year old, underweight and in need of a stable home. What began as a learning curve filled with feeding challenges, litter box struggles, and the trials of raising a headstrong young pig eventually became a story of deep friendship and healing. Over the past decade, Piggy has been more than a pet — he has been Kevin's source of comfort through severe PTSD, a motivator for daily walks and adventures, and a loyal companion who brought Kevin off heavy medications and back into the rhythm of life.          Kevin shares the playful, stubborn, and incredibly intelligent personality traits that make Piggy so special, from his love of routine (and weekly popcorn!) to his ability to communicate through body language and problem-solving. He also sheds light on the common misconceptions around “teacup” pigs, reminding listeners that pigs grow for several years, can vary greatly in size, and require patience, commitment, and love to thrive.          Now ten and a half years old, Piggy has settled into a joyful routine of long naps, park walks, and plenty of affection. His story is a testament to the resilience of pigs, the unique bond they form with their humans, and the life-changing impact they can have.          This episode is a celebration of healing, friendship, and hope — and a reminder that when we open our hearts to animals, they often give back more than we could ever imagine.

In this special episode of Deacons Pod, the Paulist Deacon Affiliates discuss "the friendship recession" – the possible change in the way adults today experience and maintain friendships, notably due to workplace changes sparked by the COVID pandemic. During their conversation, the deacons consider how "the friendship recession" differs between men and women, as well as the role of friendships in the spiritual life and in parish life. Two recent articles in the secular media inspired this episode. The first was an August 11 column at Fast Company by Mark Crowley called "No one has office friends anymore. Why that's bad news for employers: How to combat the ‘friendship recession.'"The second article was a May 25 piece in the New York Times by Sam Graham-Felsen called "Where Have All My Deep Male Friendships Gone?"

Want less stress in love and more connection? Start by knowing your attachment style! In this snippet from Episode 201, Kelly sits down with relationship expert and best-selling author, Thais Gibson, to unpack attachment theory and how understanding your own style and the style of the people you care about can make relationships calmer and closer.  Thais explains the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant) and shows how early formed patterns can linger as unconscious “relational clutter” that shapes how we ask for needs and respond to closeness.

*drumroll please* we have finished another series! This marks our FOURTH series we've completed on this podcast. Magnus defeats Loki with the power of friendship. While we thought the flyting was a bit anticlimatic, we also thought the message was really sweet and true to Magnus's character. Loki is delivered back to the gods, and Magnus returns to Valhalla. The series wraps up nicely with Magnus and Alex opening a youth homeless shelter, and also kissing again! We give our overall thoughts on the book, and read lots of emails from listeners.

"The storm is both battleground and teacher. In the high storm's fury, we discovered not merely survival checks or combat mechanics, but the weight of choice. Humor became a shield, laughter our shardplate, as the Shardblade in hand revealed itself to be more than a weapon. Against the chasm fiend's relentless rhythm, the bond between friends became the only path to victory. The storm needs a guide. Ash Ely is that guide. Some stories wait for the storm to pass. Others demand a guide who will lead you into its very heart. A Game Master is more than a storyteller — they are a Shardbearer of narrative, a wielder of dice and destiny. Ash Ely is such a guide. On StartPlaying.Games, Ash shapes campaigns where camaraderie becomes steel and laughter binds tighter than plate. Their table is not just a game; it is a high storm of story, where each choice carries weight, and each player becomes part of something greater. If you seek tabletop RPG adventures, if you wish to test your courage in battle against chasm fiends, or to weave tales of character development, teamwork, and role-playing, then step into Ash's storm. The path begins here: StartPlaying.Games — Ash Ely "I saw how tactical decisions, combat strategies, and even failed dice rolls wrote a story more enduring than steel. This was no simple role-playing game; it was a tale of character development, teamwork, and storytelling woven into the very stormlight itself." — From the journals of a forgotten scout, on the eve of battle Shownotes This second half of the Stormlight Archive RPG actual play begins with grounding moments: life updates, the struggles of moving, and even the grudges of pets that mirror the stubbornness of men. These personal stories remind us that whether in Dungeons and Dragons, tabletop gaming, or life itself, the storms we weather shape who we become. The session then surges into epic tension. The looming high storm, the enigma of Shardblade bonding, and the terror of a chasm fiend boss fight create a crucible for both game mechanics and storytelling. Every player choice feels sharp, every dice roll a heartbeat. Humor, often chaotic, interlaces with danger, proving that friendship and camaraderie in role-playing games can hold fast even in the fiercest winds. The players grapple with combat strategies, team dynamics, and the consequences of their actions. Critical hits, failed rolls, and unexpected outcomes shift the battle's tide, while persuasion and leadership test not only the characters but the trust among players. Through it all, the narrative storytelling of the Stormlight Archive RPG shines — a reminder that fantasy adventures are not just about survival, but about the truths revealed when we choose together. Key Takeaways Life mirrors the game: Moving, pets, and family stories parallel the challenges of tabletop RPGs and character development. Humor in the storm: Laughter and camaraderie in role-playing games lighten even the heaviest encounters. Shardblades as destiny: Shardblade bonding and mechanics test both characters and players, demanding patience and commitment. The chasm fiend fight as crucible: A true boss monster encounter forces combat strategies and tactical decisions. Choice as stormlight: Every dice roll, persuasion attempt, and player choice illuminates the narrative. Friendship as armor: Teamwork and communication in RPGs are more powerful than steel. The rhythm of mechanics: Fast and slow turns, survival checks, and RPG game mechanics create tension and triumph. Story as aftermath: Critical hits, moral dilemmas, and unexpected alliances linger beyond the session, becoming part of the shared fantasy adventure. "A story is not complete until it is shared. Storms are faced together, and victories mean little without companions to witness them. If this tale has moved you — if the laughter, the choices, and the clash of Shardblade against chasm fiend struck true — then carry it outward. Tell a friend. Invite them to listen. Let them stand with us in the storm, dice in hand, part of the fellowship that makes role-playing more than a game. For in unity lies strength, and in shared story lies immortality."

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where we now examine James chapter 4, verse 1-6, which shows how worldly desires—lust, envy and pride—fuel internal battles, church conflicts, and separation from God. James explains that friendship with the world leads to turmoil both within the person and among believers. The episode urges listeners to examine their hearts, repent, ask God with humble motives, and rely on God's grace to replace worldliness with true, peaceful faith.

Building lasting friendships takes more than connection—it requires humility, intentionality, and selfless effort. In 1 Samuel 19, Jonathan risked everything to protect David, showing that true friendship is rooted in loyalty and love over pride and rivalry. Philippians 2:3–4 calls us to value others above ourselves, reminding us that godly friendships thrive on courage, grace, and putting others first. Pastor Thomas Anderson Jr. shows how lasting relationships thrive through honesty, forgiveness, and care—rooted in Scripture and supported by psychology—reflecting God's love.
