Podcasts about gatekeeping

In this bold and unfiltered episode of TK's Chronicles of a Black Sheep, we confront the barriers that gatekeeping creates—in relationships, professions, and creative communities. From exclusive circles that suppress growth to leaders who misuse power to determine who gets in and who stays out, we unpack the emotional toll and systemic roots of gatekeeping.Joined by powerful voices with lived experiences, TK leads a conversation rooted in resilience, honesty, and disruption. We spotlight those who've found the courage to kick down the doors others tried to keep closed—and invite listeners to reflect on how gatekeeping might be showing up in their own world.

Are women really the gatekeepers of sex, or have we all just bought into a narrative that puts the power—and the blame—squarely on their shoulders? In this episode, Mel and Suzie dig into the cultural scripts that frame women as the ultimate deciders of when, how, and if sex happens. From hookup culture to long-term relationships, we explore whether this dynamic is about empowerment, control, or just centuries of social conditioning dressed up as “just how it is.” And here's where it gets juicy: Mel and Suzie don't see eye to eye. Mel thinks that it changes as a woman gets older. Suzie's not convinced. She believes women are always the gatekeepers of sex, whether they want to be or not. The result? A hilarious and honest debate about modern relationships. This episode goes into the emotional and psychological layers of sex, power, and expectations in modern relationships.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Frank & Peggy Pittenger from South Bound Brook, NJ. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 9:38-41: John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. For the one who is not against us is for us. For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.” — Mark 9:38–41 On this July 4th, we celebrate freedom. But as followers of Christ, we know there's greater freedom—a freedom not won by force but by grace. Today's text challenges us to think beyond our own independence and toward interdependence within the body of Christ. John comes to Jesus with a complaint. “Someone outside our circle is casting out demons in your name. Let's shut him down.” And Why? “Because he is not following us.” There it is. Not Jesus. Us. This wasn't a case of false teaching—it was spiritual tribalism. A turf war. And Jesus rebukes it. “Don't stop him… the one who is not against us is for us.” Jesus is widening their perspective. Kingdom work doesn't always come through your group, your denomination, or your favorite leader. The Spirit of God is not limited to our preferred lanes. That said, Scripture is clear—not every spiritual-looking person is worth following. Some use Jesus' name without his authority. And we must test fruit, not just flash (see Matthew 7:15–23). But that's not the situation here. This was real fruit. Real ministry. Just outside the disciples' bubble. Jesus reminds them: “Even a cup of water given in my name won't go unrewarded.” That's how far God's grace and reward go. Even the smallest act, if done for Christ, is noticed and honored. So here's the question: Are you more loyal to your camp than you are to Christ? Don't let your spiritual pride become a spiritual roadblock. Don't gatekeep the kingdom. Celebrate gospel work—even when it's not from someone in your inner circle. And on this day of national independence, remember this—our unity in Christ is what makes us truly free. #FreedomInChrist, #KingdomUnity, #Mark9 ASK THIS: Have I mistaken group loyalty for Christ-centered unity? How can I discern real gospel fruit from false appearances? Do I rejoice when others succeed in ministry? Where might pride be limiting my kingdom vision? DO THIS: Encourage someone doing faithful work for Christ outside your usual circles. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me celebrate your work—even when it doesn't come through me. Free me from pride and expand my heart for your kingdom. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Build Your Kingdom Here.”

The New York Times' "The Protocol" podcast was designed to cast doubt on the efficacy of gender-affirming care for youth. The podcast recycled previous NYT's reporting that platformed dubious sources in the absence of a “smoking gun,” let alone any credible evidence. Yet, the Supreme Court would take the claims seriously, citing the Times in last week's United States v. Skrmetti 6–3 decision upholding Tennessee's ban on minors' access to gender-affirming care—violating their civil and human rights.. “Letting the states decide,” as we've seen with post-Roe abortion access, endangers people's quality of life and their very lives.This week, Katelyn and Christine have a robust discussion with mental health reporter Sandy Allen, a trans journalist who once worked with the host of “The Protocol.” Together, Katelyn, Christine, and Sandy debunk the Times' reporting and expose numerous issues with the new anti-trans podcast in the context of the Supreme Court's wreckage.

Adam discusses the importance of the Intermediate Series in Ashtanga Yoga, arguing against the common gatekeeping practices that prevent students from exploring these postures. He emphasizes the complementary nature of the Primary and Intermediate Series, advocating for a more integrated approach to practice. Keen highlights the significance of understanding the foundational principles behind each posture rather than merely striving for the ideal shape. He encourages practitioners to make a start with the Intermediate Series, regardless of their current abilities, and to seek guidance that fosters a deeper understanding of their practice.

Welcome to Pride Month... or as we like to call it here, Queer Wrath Month!This episode is for every bisexual person who has felt left out, questioned, or erased in the very spaces that are supposed to celebrate them. Caitlin is joined by Bailey Merlin—researcher, advocate, author, and co-host of the Bisexual Killjoy podcast—for a conversation about what it really means to be bi+ in a world that still struggles to make space for us.Bailey brings her lived experience and professional insight to the mic, sharing what she's learned from years of community building and organizing, including her work with the Bi+ Book Gang. Together, she and Caitlin explore the complicated realities of bisexual identity, from partner-gender policing and “straight-passing” myths to the constant pressure to explain yourself in both queer and straight spaces. They also touch on something deeper: how infighting and gatekeeping weaken our collective power, and how we can return to something more grounded.If you're bi, pan, queer in all directions, or someone who wants to do better by the bi+ community, this episode is a heartfelt invitation. Because we all deserve to be here. No gatekeeping. No paper-checking. Just more room at the table.

Send us a textEver had that “Oh no… I'm the problem” moment? Yeah. I did.I thought I was leading. I thought I was being thorough. But what I was really doing? Gatekeeping.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Jason Faust's first taste of the supernatural came when he ditched Sunday school to skulk through his family's church, hoping to catch the same “whispers and shadows” the elders gossiped about over coffee. Decades later, he's no longer a curious kid but a full-time paranormal investigator, fielding calls from families desperate for a night's sleep free of knocking closets and guttural growls. In this conversation, Jason breaks down his working theory that truly dark entities don't waste time on the unprepared—they reveal themselves only to people strong (or stubborn) enough to fight back. From blessed water that boils on contact to homes where the air itself feels weaponized, Jason explains what separates an ordinary haunt from a demonic showdown—and why he still believes curiosity is his best protection.

Send me a text about the episode!Have you ever been made to feel like you don't belong in a fitness space? You're absolutely not alone. In this candid and eye-opening discussion, I dive into one of the fitness industry's most problematic trends: trainers who turn away clients because they don't fit neatly into rigid training methodologies.Drawing from both client stories and my personal observations, I expose the harmful "black and white" mentality some fitness professionals bring to their practice. These are often the trainers who present themselves as having the "perfect method" but become dismissive when clients express limitations – whether it's fatigue from a menstrual cycle, symptoms from an autoimmune condition, or just being new to fitness. The message they send is devastating: there's no place for you in fitness unless you can perform at their expected level.I contrast this with what truly professional training should look like, outlining the rare legitimate reasons for client-trainer mismatches while highlighting why adaptability is essential for effective coaching. I also address a concerning industry gap – the decreasing visibility of general fitness trainers who work with everyday people just looking to feel better, lose weight, or increase energy, while specialists working exclusively with athletes or competitive clients dominate the landscape.As someone who wasn't naturally athletic growing up, I share how this exclusionary environment impacted my own fitness journey and why I'm passionate about creating inclusive fitness spaces. The heart of this episode centers on a powerful mindset shift: fitness isn't about competing with others but becoming slightly better than you were yesterday. Success should be measured by consistent small improvements over time – more squats than before, holding a plank longer than last week, or simply making it to the gym more consistently.Ready to find a trainer who truly meets you where you are?

Kim (SO/SP 8w7 863) joins us for an intimate and unguarded exploration of the inner world of Eight — where sovereignty is survival, connection is a gamble, and straight talk is an act of love. From the first moments, Kim's presence is unmistakable: a force of nature, all-in from the outset, inviting others to meet her at full throttle. We explore the emotional paradox at the heart of the Social Eight — the innocent hope that others will meet her with the same raw honesty she offers, the crushing self-blame that follows when that trust proves misplaced, and the instinct to amputate not just relationships but parts of her own soul in self-protection. We delve into the Eight's preemptive numbing, the hardened stance of being the gatekeeper of her world, and the quiet grief of being valued only for what she gives — not for who she is. Kim's story is a vivid portrait of Eight's vulnerability beneath the armor, and of the slow, courageous return to wholeness.
