The meltdown ends, but for autism moms, the aftermath lingers. In this episode of The Autism Mom Coach, the first of a two-part series, Lisa names what she calls the meltdown hangover: the emotional, mental, and physical fallout that can outlast the meltdown itself by hours, days, or even weeks. Drawing on her own experience with homework meltdowns and her son's perfectionism, she walks through the telltale signs (exhaustion, shame and guilt, rumination, anxiety, and grief) and explains why, unlike a regular hangover, this one runs on your own thoughts and can stretch on as long as you let it. The goal this week is simple awareness, the necessary first step before next week's strategies for recovery.In this episode, you'll learn:What a "meltdown hangover" is and its five common signs (exhaustion, shame and guilt, rumination, anxiety, and grief), drawn from Lisa's own life and her coaching clients.Why meltdown hangovers can last far longer than a regular hangover, since the symptoms are largely your own thoughts, and how staying stuck in them can keep you chronically depleted between meltdowns.A set of reflective questions to help you identify your personal hangover symptoms, from your energy and emotions right afterward to how kind or scolding your inner voice is.Resources mentioned:Free Training: Reduce Meltdowns by 50% This WeekSchedule a consultation with LisaThe Autism Mom Coach

Flexera Founder @joinflexera, Hannah Joyce @hannahleighjoyce joins me for a brilliant, honest chat about going alcohol-free at 26 and what's possible when you stop breaking promises to yourself. Six years off the booze, Hannah shares the signs that were there from the start: brutal hangovers, lingering anxiety and that inability to “just have one or two”. We talk about how COVID was a forced pause, the unexpected stepping stones (skincare, exercise, journaling), reading The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober and the pink cloud also and what happens when it fades. Plus: how sobriety gave Hannah the clarity and confidence to build Flexera, bringing Reformer Pilates home with folding reformers and an app. Hannah's story is deeply inspiring and gives us some idea of how life can expand in the most incredible ways when we choose to leave the booze behind. Enjoy!Find out more about flexera at www.joinflexera.coomIf you are interested in Alcohol Free Coaching go to www.greyareadrinker.ie, email olivia@greyareadrinker.ie or simply send a DM to Olivia over on instagram @greyareadrinker
This week, Scheana is joined by friend and fellow Bravoleb Hannah Ferrier for an honest, hilarious chat about the chaos of life both on and off camera, the moment Hannah knew her yachting days were officially behind her, and how different life looks now as a mom in Australia compared to her Below Deck era. Hannah reveals why she passed on joining a certain Real Housewives franchise — and how she somehow ended up riding a mechanical bull with strangers the night before. The two dive into Bravo hot takes (Kyle Richards may want to sit this one out), behind-the-scenes industry politics, and the tricky balance of supporting friends while navigating business, loyalty, and reality TV drama. Hannah also shares the luxury item she bought herself immediately after getting fired from Below Deck, plus where things really stand today with Captain Sandy. Elsewhere, Scheana and Hannah swap hitchhiking stories, unpack the mystery of Peter Madrigal's alleged AI girlfriend, and Hannah completely shocks Scheana with how Below Deck tipping actually works behind the scenes (wait…they don't get all of it?!). Plus, could Hannah be returning to reality TV soon? You'll have to tune in to find out.

A hangover isn't just physical. For most people who drink too much, the headache is the easy part. The hard part is the anxiety before you've opened your eyes, the guilt you can't name, the "I did it again" that starts before you've got out of bed. That emotional layer is not a character flaw. It's chemistry. And it's making everything worse than it needs to be.This episode explains what's actually happening in your brain the morning after, why shame never changes anything, and what to do instead. Including why you can get a full emotional hangover without having touched a drink.If you're done waking up with the shame spiral and you want to actually change it, book a free consultation call at tidycal.com/90dayslater/consult. I'll help you build a plan that get rid of emotional hangovers for once and for all.
Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives
Have you ever come home from a social event, a lunch, a phone call with a friend — and felt more drained than when you left? That's not introversion. That might be your nervous system telling you something important about which relationships are feeding you and which ones are feeding on you. Not all social interaction is created equal — and for midlife women, learning to tell the difference is a genuine health skill. Courtney introduces the concept of relational discernment and the post-interaction check-in, a simple practice that helps you stop spending your energy by default and start investing it with intention.

If Mother's Day was harder than you expected, and now it's Monday and you're not okay — this episode is for you. Not the catastrophic kind of hard. The quieter kind. The kind that happens when your mother is still here, you maybe even saw her or rang her yesterday, and yet you spent the whole day performing a version of your relationship that felt three inches away from the truth. The kind of hard that doesn't fit on a sympathy card. In this episode, Monique talks about what she calls the Mother's Day hangover — the flat, hollow Monday that lands after a day of holding it all together. She shares a story about her friend Tess phoning her in tears the morning after, and a quiet moment in the supermarket card aisle looking for a card that didn't exist. This episode names something most people are carrying alone: that you can grieve a relationship that still exists. You can grieve the mother you needed even while the one you have is still on the end of the phone. And you don't have to have any of it sorted by today. If yesterday was hard, please listen to this. You're not the only one. Ready to break the cycle for good? If this episode resonated with you, there's something you need to try next… Take the Happiness Quiz at https://iintendtobehappy.com/ — it's a quick (and eye-opening) way to discover what's actually impacting your consistency, focus, and overall wellbeing.

Whether you're recovering, reminiscing, or just laughing at others' pain, this episode is for you.

Episode 065: The morning-after haze has officially settled over Six Picks Music Club, and we are definitely feeling the weight of last night's decisions. We're attempting to hair-of-the-dog our way back to consciousness, starting with a loud, caffeinated jolt from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes to shake off the brain fog. Once the initial tremors subside, we're reaching for the dark-shades cool of ZZ Top and letting the smooth, soul-soothing medicine of Otis Redding coat our frayed nerves like a greasy diner breakfast. To keep the nausea at bay, we've got a pint of Jaya The Cat for those reggae-punk electrolytes, followed by a massive, stadium-sized headache courtesy of The Who. We're finally closing our eyes and leaning into the dreamy, fuzz-drenched lethargy of Dum Dum Girls until the room stops spinning. It's a dry-mouthed, shaky-handed tribute to the regrets we'd probably repeat next weekend—just keep the volume low and the lights off. Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site
Winter's fading, grills are coming out of hibernation, and we are officially back in our element. In this episode of the OverSeasoned Podcast, we bounce from snowstorm war stories and restaurant hangover survival tactics to the real topic at hand: gearing up for grilling season.What starts as a conversation about charcoal vs. gas quickly turns into a deep dive on fire-starting techniques, wood choices, dream grill setups, and why nothing beats the flavor of a properly charred burger over live fire. We also unpack the art of hosting: what to cook for a dinner party when you don't know your guests, how to navigate “chicken tender people”, and why a build-your-own meal might be the safest (and most subtly judgmental) move.This episode will get you scheming your own grilling future.

Have you ever opened up, told the truth, or shared something real… and then felt the urge to take it back? That's a vulnerability hangover. The aftermath of honesty can bring exposure, second-guessing, and the desire to over-explain, apologize, or disappear. This isn't just emotional—it's nervous system wiring, old training, and misaligned containers showing up after you've been seen. This message is for those in a season of increased responsibility who cannot afford to build from comparison, approval-seeking, or reaction. Your work requires structure. Your next level requires formation. If you are in a preparation season and want to build cleanly with clarity and internal stability, the 4-Week Activation Series begins February 24. This series is focused on moving from clarity into structure and building with maturity. Details and registration: link below. The live launch gathering on March 21 will be a day of alignment, activation, and commissioning for what is being built in this next season. Event details: link below. Stay focused on your assignment. Build with integrity. Let formation sustain what visibility cannot. Share this with someone who is stewarding a calling right now.

The recent Seahawks-Patriots Super Bowl, which most of the crew found "less than riveting" and bordering on boring. They dive into the contrasting performances of the QBs, praising Sam Darnold's "ghost-free" game management while critiquing Drake May's "deer in the headlights" struggle against a suffocating Seattle defense. With the football season wrapped up, the pod shifts gears toward the diamond. Chris brings the entire MLB roster of pitchers and catchers "to the bar" as they report for spring training, signaling the official start of the baseball season. The guys debate the legendary status of Sonny Jurgensen following his passing at age 91, cementing his place on the "Mount Rushmore" of DC sports. Meanwhile, the conversation doesn't stay on the field for long. The crew hits on the NBA trade deadline, analyzing the Wizards' high-stakes moves for Trey Young and AD, and the Celtics' masterclass in cap management. It's a classic bridge week where the gridiron meets the hardwood and the dirt.
What if the party wasn't the point, and the real win was who you became when the music stopped? We sit down with Johnny “Mr. Krudo” Rosales to trace a raw, unfiltered journey from a tough LA childhood and immigrant beginnings to addiction, two DUIs, and a breaking point that forced a choice. He chose sobriety—and then built a brand rooted in culture, community, and connection that thrives in the very spaces he once used to escape.Johnny opens up about the hidden trauma he carried for years, the comfort and cost of alcohol, and the night he watched his life cross a line he couldn't ignore. He talks through what actually worked: a body-spirit-mind reset anchored by daily training, 100-mile months, prayer, meditation, and hypnotherapy that led him to meet his inner child and offer the hug he needed back then. The result isn't a slogan—it's a quieter nervous system, stronger boundaries, and a compass that points forward.We also dive into the evolution of Mr. Krudo, from a killer michelada recipe to a full-service events and beverage brand. Johnny shares how golf tournaments opened industry doors, how album release parties turned into partnerships, and why consistency beats hype every time. He lays out plans for a ready-to-drink line, co-packing, concessions, and distribution, all guided by one promise: bring people together and let the experience speak.If you're stuck in the loop—stressed, numbing, searching—this conversation offers a practical path. Start small. Stack wins. Heal inside out. Build something that matters. Then keep going. Subscribe, share with someone who needs the push, and leave a review telling us the one habit you'll start this week.

Dirk finds his favorite place on earth.By Original Aramis. Listen to the ►Podcast at Steamy Stories.The day was bright and clear without a cloud in the sky, the weather was warm without being hot, and there was little if any wind. Traffic was minimal at best, and this enabled Dirk to relax as he rode his Harley down the highway at 70MPH, a black duffel bag full of his clothing and gear strapped across the rear seat. Riding his bike in conditions like this was one of the things that Dirk loved most in the world, and like most bikers this was a kind of therapy for him that couldn't be found anywhere else. Whenever life's concerns and distractions got to be too much for him, Dirk would fire up the bike and hit the road, not going anywhere in particular but just going until either the bike needed gas or he needed food, or both.But today was different. Dirk was travelling with a destination in mind, specifically the clubhouse of one of his MC's charters that was in the neighboring state. They were celebrating their 10th anniversary and had planned a monster party, one that Dirk wouldn't have missed for the world. The charter was also located in his favorite beach resort town where his favorite beach resort hotel, The Windjammer, was located, so there was no way he wasn't going to make this party. He had already made his reservation at the hotel, although he knew he'd most likely end up spending the majority of the night at the clubhouse enjoying the party and the hospitality of the club. He'd had several invites from club members to stay at their house, but Dirk politely declined them all. As much as he loved the members of his club he always felt a little out of place when he stayed overnight with one of them, and preferred the privacy of his own hotel suite instead.Besides, if he got lucky with one of the many girls he knew were going to be at the party, he wanted a place to go where he could be assured of privacy and comfort.It was late in the afternoon when Dirk pulled into the parking lot of The Windjammer, having been on the road for a little more than eight hours. He was achy and tired from the ride, needing both a shower and a drink in the worst way. He pulled his bike up under the awning of the main entrance to the hotel and dropped the kickstand, his loud pipes turning every head within ear shot. He drew a few disgusted looks from some of the snootier patrons when they saw his colors and his long hair, but he truly didn't give a shit. He was worth more than most of them on his worst day, so he really couldn't care less about their opinion. He shut down the engine and got off, stretching for a moment before going into the hotel and checking in. He came back out with a card key for his room less than three minutes later, then got back onto his bike to move it into the parking lot. Once there he shut the bike down, locked the ignition and the forks, unstrapped the duffel bag and headed up to his room.The room was located on the 22nd floor of the hotel and had a magnificent view of the ocean. As soon as Dirk got into the room he dropped his bag on the bed and went out onto the balcony, standing there and looking out at the ocean. He smiled as he smelled the salt air and felt the ocean breeze on his face, then closed his eyes and just listened to the sound of the waves and the water for several long moments. Then he opened his eyes and looked up and down the beach, still smiling.This is my favorite place in the whole world!“ he said out loud to himself, his smile getting bigger. It was late in the day on Saturday so the beach was packed with tourists, but this didn't bother him. He wasn't there to go out on the beach this trip, he was there to party and have a good time, so the crowd of people on the beach wasn't important. He stood there for a few moments longer, then turned and went back into the room to shower and change. He took his leather vest with his club's colors on it off and dropped it on the bed, the rest of his clothes following. A few minutes later he was in the shower, standing under the stream of hot water and letting it wash away the achiness and the road grime from today's ride. After his shower he unpacked, tossing his clothes into the drawers of the dresser in the room, then got dressed and headed down to the lounge to have a drink before going over to the clubhouse. He knew the party was going to be big and loud, and he wanted to have at least one drink in relative peace and quiet before he subjected himself to the noise of the party.He walked into the dimly lit lounge and headed towards the bar, glancing around the room as he did so. It was early in the evening so the lounge wasn't very full, with only two or three tables being occupied and less than half a dozen people sitting at the bar. As he walked up to an empty stool he noticed a group of three people, two women and a man, sitting at one of the tables. Dirk could tell that the man and one of the women, a brunette with a very cute face and a huge pair of tits, were obviously together since they were holding hands and sitting very close to each other. The man looked to be quite a bit older than the woman, maybe 20 years or so, he couldn't be sure, but Dirk was positive that the man was at least old enough to be her father. And by the way they were acting, he knew that wasn't it. Husband, maybe, but father- no. Not unless they were into something really kinky, that is.The other woman, a short blonde wearing a pink two piece outfit consisting of a tight top that tied in the front and equally tight shorts, was sitting on the other side of the table from them, smiling as they talked. She looked up at him as he walked towards the bar, quickly giving him the once-over as she continued talking to her friends. Then she smiled at him, pausing for a moment in her conversation, before turning back to her friends and continuing the conversation. Dirk continued on to the bar and sat down at a vacant stool, ordering a shot of Blanton's straight up when the bartender came over to him.Very good, sir!” the bartender said, acknowledging Dirk's taste in bourbon. A few moments later he brought the drink over and set it on the bar in front of him, and Dirk picked it up to take a sip. He eyed the blonde woman in the mirror behind the bar as he did so, taking his time and looking her over good. She was small, around five foot nothing Dirk would have guessed, with long blonde hair down to the middle of her back. She had a cute face with angular features to her cheeks and nose, with slightly almond shaped eyes that fit her face perfectly. Her teeth were white and straight, accompanied by lips that were full and apparently very soft. They weren't full enough to be called dick sucking lips but they were close damned close.‘Man, I wonder what it would feel like to have those lips wrapped around my dick!’ Dirk thought to himself as he looked down to his drink to take another sip. He didn't see the brunette look up at him sharply just as he had this thought, a look of mild surprise flashing across her face for a moment before she broke out in a smile, turning her attention back to her friends. Dirk also didn't see the brunette reach out and touch the blonde's hand as she spoke, her words causing the blonde to glance over at him before she, too, broke out into a smile.When they all got up to leave Dirk noticed that the blonde had a stout, firm, and slightly muscular body. Her stomach was flat and her waistline slightly tapered, with shapely legs and a firm, rounded ass that flexed when she walked. And on top of all that was a large, firm bust line that sat high on her chest, the twin globes bouncing and jiggling inside her tight top as she walked. She glanced over at him and smiled again as she walked away, the three of them walking out of the door and out of sight. Dirk turned and enjoyed the sight of her ass flexing inside of the equally snug shorts she was wearing, and he couldn't help but wonder how those globes of flesh would feel in his hands. Dirk turned back to his drink, smiling to himself as he took a sip.Half an hour later Dirk was on his bike and headed out to the clubhouse for the party, and just as he expected there was a very large crowd of bikes and people already there. He parked his bike in front of the clubhouse with the others, not bothering to lock it knowing that the prospects who were positioned around the parking area would keep an eye on it. Watching the bikes of full patch members was part of their job as prospects, and to lock your bike while at the clubhouse with the prospects there was considered disrespectful to the host club. Besides, the prospects knew they'd get their butts kicked if they let anything happen to the bike of a full patch ..When he got inside, he saw that the party was already in full swing. He walked over to the packed bar, exchanging greetings, hugs and handshakes with at least half a dozen other club members along the way. The club was hosting an open bar as usual, and Dirk was sure that by the time the party was over the grounds and the clubhouse would be littered with empty beer cans, discarded solo cups, and drunken bikers, all passed out and lying wherever they had fallen. Dirk didn’t plan to be one of them, so he took it easy on the beer. There was a time in his life when he’d be the first one to pass out drunk, but those days were long over. Hangovers hurt a lot more than they used to, so he avoided them whenever he could by staying mostly sober. Weed was his intoxicant of choice these days, and there was just as much of that to be had as there was beer and hard alcohol.One of his close brothers fixed him up with a couple of the biggest, fattest doobies Dirk had ever seen, and after he had made the rounds of the clubhouse, which took about an hour he sat down at a table in a corner of the clubhouse to relax, enjoy his beer and his weed, and watch the party unfold in front of him. Two beers and half of the doobie later, Dirk was feeling pretty good, enjoying sitting at the small table and watching the goings-on in the clubhouse. Party parties were always loud, raucous, and entertaining, and tonight’s party was no different.He put the joint to his lips to take another hit but stopped his hand in mid-air when he saw the petite blonde from the hotel bar walk into the room. Instead of the tight shirt and shorts she was wearing at the hotel, she was now wearing faded jeans tucked into black leather boots that came halfway up her calves, a tight white V-neck shirt that showed a generous amount of cleavage, and a denim jacket that was just as faded as the jeans she wore. She turned heads as she made her way through the crowd to the bar, stopping to talk to several people along the way. As she was talking to one of them, she turned in Dirk’s direction, and a smile crossed her face when she saw him sitting at his table. She finally made her way over to the bar and got a beer, then made a beeline for Dirk’s table. "Mind if I sit down?“ she said, smiling down at him, her deep blue eyes sparkling."Please do,” Dirk said, motioning to the empty chair across from him. She put her beard down on the table and then sat down, leaning forward onto her elbows as she crossed her forearms on the table in front of her.“I was hoping you’d be here tonight,” she said, smiling at him. “My name’s Amy, by the way.”“Nice to meet you, Amy. I’m Dirk. What made you think I’d be here?” he asked, taking a swig from his beer.“Your colors,” she said, referring to his leather vest with his MC patches on them. “I saw them when you sat down at the hotel bar earlier, and I had a feeling that you were in town for the party,” she replied, still smiling at him.“You seem to know a lot of people here,” he said, taking a drink from his beer. “Are you somebody’s old lady?” he asked. If he was going to make a move on this highly attractive and very sexy woman, he needed to know if she was the wife or girlfriend of a club brother. To move on another man’s woman is a cardinal sin in the MC world, and he had no desire to get involved in that.“No, I’m not, and I’m not a sweet butt either,” she said, sitting back and taking a drink from her beer. A sweet butt was a woman who lived at the clubhouse, kept the place clean, and serviced the club members whenever they wanted it.“I have my own place over on Vincent Lane about 20 minutes from here, so I don’t live at the clubhouse. I’m more of a house mouse, actually, I help the club out with some of their administrative functions and help organize fundraisers and things like that, but I’m not looking for a partner or an old man. I actually helped organize this party, I’ll have you know,” she said, looking around briefly and gesturing with the beer in her hand as she did.“From what I can see, you did a good job,” Dirk replied, smiling at her for the first time.“So if you’re not somebody’s old lady or a sweet butt, how did you get involved with the MC to begin with?” he asked, genuinely curious. She looked down for a moment before replying, a solemn look on her face, before she looked back up at him and replied.“I was the old lady of the founding sergeant at arms, Papa Bear. He was killed in an accident about a year after the charter was granted, and the way the club treated me when that happened was just,..” she stopped for a moment, a small smile creeping onto her face and her eyes tearing up just a bit.“They showed me so much love and compassion, I knew I’d found a home here and would never leave it. So I haven’t. I’m not looking for another old man or another club member to hook up with, and everyone knows that, so they leave me alone. They all watch out for me like a band of big brothers, and I appreciate that,” she said, her smile returning.“The brotherhood of an MC is something that you have to experience to really understand,” Dirk said, nodding at her. “Being the MC was one of the best things I ever did, and I love it,” he said, taking a drink from his beer before continuing. So why were you hoping I’d be here tonight, may I ask?“"Because you make me tingle in all the right places,” she replied, looking into his eyes. “When I saw you at the bar earlier tonight, the tingling began immediately, and by the time I left it was so intense I could hardly stand it. I was so wet I was surprised I didn’t squish when I walked.”Her eyes were bright and shining as she looked at him, a big smile on her face.“You’re very direct, aren’t you, Amy?” Dirk asked, smiling back at her.“Yes, I am,” she replied, nodding her head. Life is too short to waste time fucking around, you know? Unless you’re actually fucking, that is.“ She was absolutely grinning by now."So are you tingling now?” Dirk asked.Let the games begin, he thought to himself.“Absolutely, Amy replied, giving him a big smile as she replied, without missing a beat. "And my panties are absolutely soaked,” she picked her beer up and took another drink before putting it back on the table and speaking again. “You know, Dirk, if you play your cards right and I think you will, not only will you find out how my ass feels in your hands, you’ll also find out what it feels like to have my lips wrapped around your hard dick!”Dirk’s mouth fell open, a look of utter surprise on his face. She laughed at his reaction to what she had just said, and the surprise was evident in his voice when he finally spoke.“How the fuck did you know that?” he said, incredulously. “What are you, psychic or something?” "No, but my friend Sherry is.“ Amy replied, still grinning. "She’s the woman who I was with at the hotel bar, and the man was Rob, her husband. Rob is a lieutenant with the local police department, and I’ve known Sherry since high school. She’s always been a little bit psychic, and when she picked up on what you were thinking in the bar, she told me about it.”“Okay, I’m officially freaked out.” Rob said, picking up the joint and taking a hit.Amy held her hand out with the palm up and wiggled her fingers at him, so he passed the joint to her. She put it to her lips and took a big hit, holding the smoke in for a moment, before blowing it out and passing the joint back to him.“Most people are,” she said, following the hit on the joint with a drink from her beer. “Freaked me right the fuck out too, the first time Sherry told me something that I was thinking. I don’t know how Rob handles it on a daily basis, I really don’t.”She put the beer down and leaned on the table again, crossing her forearms as she had before and creating about a mile of cleavage for Dirk to admire. A slightly evil smile crossed her face as she spoke again.“So do you want to find out or not, Dirk?” she said, her voice low and sultry, her eyes smoldering.“Oh, yeah,” Dirk replied, returning her smile. “That, and a whole lot more, I hope,” he said.“I think you can count on that.” Amy replied, grinning at him.“My hotel?” Dirk said, and Amy shook her head.“Let’s go to my place,” she said. “When I fuck you, I want it to be in my own bed, not in a hotel.”“I’m guessing you live alone?” Dirk asked, just to be sure.“Not even a cat,” she said, giving him a big smile.“Works for me,” Dirk said, picking up his beer and draining it.He took one last hit from the joint before dropping it to the floor and crushing it under his boot.“Where do you live?”“102, Vincent Lane, about 20 minutes from here,” she replied, draining her own beer and putting the empty bottle on the table. “You gonna let me be your back warmer on the ride over there,” she asked.“Only if you promise to press those big tits against my back.” Dirk replied, giving her a dose of her own medicine.“Amy laughed as she responded. What kind of a back warmer would I be if I didn’t? Hell, I may even give you a reach around, as well,” she said, standing up.Dirk stood up as well, looking down at her from across the table. “You’re really something, you know that, Amy?” he asked.“You ain’t seen nothing yet, high side,” she replied, calling him by his road name that she got from the patch on the front of his vest. Just wait until I get you home.They walked out of the clubhouse and over to his bike, and Dirk got on first. He held the bike steady while Amy climbed on, then cranked up the engine. The loud pipes roared as the engine came to life, and Dirk dropped the bike into gear and pulled out of the parking area. Amy leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, pushing her big tits into his back, just as she had promised.She held on tight as he maneuvered the bike through traffic and out onto the open roadway, following the directions Amy was saying into his ear as she clung to his back.A few minutes later, they were out on the open roadway, headed towards her house and what Dirk
Dirk finds his favorite place on earth.By Original Aramis. Listen to the ►Podcast at Steamy Stories.The day was bright and clear without a cloud in the sky, the weather was warm without being hot, and there was little if any wind. Traffic was minimal at best, and this enabled Dirk to relax as he rode his Harley down the highway at 70MPH, a black duffel bag full of his clothing and gear strapped across the rear seat. Riding his bike in conditions like this was one of the things that Dirk loved most in the world, and like most bikers this was a kind of therapy for him that couldn't be found anywhere else. Whenever life's concerns and distractions got to be too much for him, Dirk would fire up the bike and hit the road, not going anywhere in particular but just going until either the bike needed gas or he needed food, or both.But today was different. Dirk was travelling with a destination in mind, specifically the clubhouse of one of his MC's charters that was in the neighboring state. They were celebrating their 10th anniversary and had planned a monster party, one that Dirk wouldn't have missed for the world. The charter was also located in his favorite beach resort town where his favorite beach resort hotel, The Windjammer, was located, so there was no way he wasn't going to make this party. He had already made his reservation at the hotel, although he knew he'd most likely end up spending the majority of the night at the clubhouse enjoying the party and the hospitality of the club. He'd had several invites from club members to stay at their house, but Dirk politely declined them all. As much as he loved the members of his club he always felt a little out of place when he stayed overnight with one of them, and preferred the privacy of his own hotel suite instead.Besides, if he got lucky with one of the many girls he knew were going to be at the party, he wanted a place to go where he could be assured of privacy and comfort.It was late in the afternoon when Dirk pulled into the parking lot of The Windjammer, having been on the road for a little more than eight hours. He was achy and tired from the ride, needing both a shower and a drink in the worst way. He pulled his bike up under the awning of the main entrance to the hotel and dropped the kickstand, his loud pipes turning every head within ear shot. He drew a few disgusted looks from some of the snootier patrons when they saw his colors and his long hair, but he truly didn't give a shit. He was worth more than most of them on his worst day, so he really couldn't care less about their opinion. He shut down the engine and got off, stretching for a moment before going into the hotel and checking in. He came back out with a card key for his room less than three minutes later, then got back onto his bike to move it into the parking lot. Once there he shut the bike down, locked the ignition and the forks, unstrapped the duffel bag and headed up to his room.The room was located on the 22nd floor of the hotel and had a magnificent view of the ocean. As soon as Dirk got into the room he dropped his bag on the bed and went out onto the balcony, standing there and looking out at the ocean. He smiled as he smelled the salt air and felt the ocean breeze on his face, then closed his eyes and just listened to the sound of the waves and the water for several long moments. Then he opened his eyes and looked up and down the beach, still smiling.This is my favorite place in the whole world!“ he said out loud to himself, his smile getting bigger. It was late in the day on Saturday so the beach was packed with tourists, but this didn't bother him. He wasn't there to go out on the beach this trip, he was there to party and have a good time, so the crowd of people on the beach wasn't important. He stood there for a few moments longer, then turned and went back into the room to shower and change. He took his leather vest with his club's colors on it off and dropped it on the bed, the rest of his clothes following. A few minutes later he was in the shower, standing under the stream of hot water and letting it wash away the achiness and the road grime from today's ride. After his shower he unpacked, tossing his clothes into the drawers of the dresser in the room, then got dressed and headed down to the lounge to have a drink before going over to the clubhouse. He knew the party was going to be big and loud, and he wanted to have at least one drink in relative peace and quiet before he subjected himself to the noise of the party.He walked into the dimly lit lounge and headed towards the bar, glancing around the room as he did so. It was early in the evening so the lounge wasn't very full, with only two or three tables being occupied and less than half a dozen people sitting at the bar.

She looked up at him as he walked towards the bar, quickly giving him the once-over as she continued talking to her friends. Then she smiled at him, pausing for a moment in her conversation, before turning back to her friends and continuing the conversation. Dirk continued on to the bar and sat down at a vacant stool, ordering a shot of Blanton's straight up when the bartender came over to him.Very good, sir!” the bartender said, acknowledging Dirk's taste in bourbon. A few moments later he brought the drink over and set it on the bar in front of him, and Dirk picked it up to take a sip. He eyed the blonde woman in the mirror behind the bar as he did so, taking his time and looking her over good. She was small, around five foot nothing Dirk would have guessed, with long blonde hair down to the middle of her back. She had a cute face with angular features to her cheeks and nose, with slightly almond shaped eyes that fit her face perfectly. Her teeth were white and straight, accompanied by lips that were full and apparently very soft.

Hangovers, fuzzy nights, shame spirals. Have you ever wondered if the life you're craving is waiting on the other side of your wine glass? Alcohol doesn't require a rock bottom to deserve a breakup, says Suzanne Warye, host of The Sober Mom Life podcast and author of “The Sober Shift.” Suzanne quit at 39 after years of drinking. Now, she shares why sobriety isn't about deprivation—it's about reconnecting with who you were before alcohol took center stage. We explore "mommy wine culture," the myth of moderation, why AA isn't the only path, and what happens after you say, "enough is enough." Whether sober-curious or already on your journey, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at outgrowing alcohol. Cheers to that, beauties!

Ever wonder what happens when a bartender offers you tequila after nearly five years of sobriety? Jeff and Sam are back with "Chit Chat Bitches," serving up their unfiltered holiday recap that's equal parts heartwarming and chaotic.From restaurant drama to stadium tears, this episode has it all. Jeff reflects on his reputation for being direct with staff (he's "softened in old age," apparently), while recounting a New Year's Eve shift that tested his patience. The weekend adventures escalated quickly—murder mystery games, a house party during treacherous driving conditions, and someone they dubbed "Fat Kid Rock" performing at Nashville's celebration.But things got real at the Bills game. When the entire crowd emotionally sang "Iris" as Steve Tasker delivered his final farewell to the stadium, even watching clips later brought tears. The game itself? Let's just say projectile vomiting in the aisles and a justified boyfriend defending his girlfriend's dignity made for unforgettable moments.Meanwhile, Sam powered through a New Year's anniversary dinner at Graylin despite running a fever. The bone marrow was divine, though $280 for their half of the bill (with wine and desserts) definitely felt like New Year's pricing. Cameron caught the flu immediately after, which led to an unexpected Canadian border crossing for wedding dress shopping.
Consider this a round of Bromo-Seltzers to bring you back to real life after a busy set of holidays; songs about drinks and their aftermath from Tammy Grimes, Jackie Gleason, Patti LuPone, and more.
Thotties, we are diving straight into the chaos with dead bugs so there's that

We're looking at how to beat a hangover and stay well through the festive chaos, from sleep dips to sugar overload.

Our big story this week is the chronic disease pandemic. A major new Lancet review has brought global attention to the links between modern diets, ultra processed foods and long term illness, exposing the industry forces driving the trend and what the evidence really shows.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, Jackie Espada, and Mrs. Rise Attire bring maximum girl chaos in this wildly funny, holiday-recovery episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches. The show opens with toddler meltdowns, tech issues, and Jackie's ongoing war with her lungs before spiraling into Thanksgiving confessions, over-cooked turkeys, and the group unanimously agreeing that hosting is a crime against mothers. Christy introduces her idiom of the week, Abbey recounts a migraine-inducing shopping disaster, and Mrs. Rise shares her not-so-peaceful attempts at Christmas decorating. The crew veers into bad hair days, school drop-off anxiety, forgotten appointments, broken nails, laundry shame, teen attitudes, and the eternal battle between moms and grocery stores. With nonstop laughter, relatable disaster stories, and unfiltered honesty about the beautiful mess of womanhood, this episode is peak AMS energy...loud, real, and absolutely hilarious.

If you're staring down your first sober holiday season—Thanksgiving pies, Hanukkah candles, office parties, Sober Christmas, Sober New Year—and thinking, “how am I going to do all of this without wine?”, this episode is for you. You do not need alcohol to survive December. You need a plan, a few scripts, and permission to make the holidays work for you. I asked Kim Kerns, author of On The Edge of Shattered, to share how she got through Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's in her first 30 days alcohol-free—and what actually works when you're brand new and the social calendar is loud. Kim stopped drinking the Saturday after Thanksgiving, cleared the house of every last drop (yes, even the dusty whiskey), told the right people first, and built new traditions her family actually loves.

The transition from high school to college is something that thousands of students struggle with each year, and it's not something people really talk about.

That's why today I'm excited to talk to Dr. Jill Grimes, Dr. Jill Grimes, author of The ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness, for a frank conversation about things that are often stigmatized. Content warning: We get into some pretty serious topics such as mental health, drinking, and sex.

What are some simple ways students can take care of their bodies during this big life transition? And more Dr. Jill Grimes is a nationally recognized medical media expert, award-winning author, and proud mom of two awesome college graduates. Dr. Grimes' passion project is The ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness, Oprah's choice for Best Book in her 2025 Best Gifts for Grads List. With over 20 years of experience in private practice and academic medicine plus 7 years working directly with college students in a busy university health center, Dr. Jill brings a unique blend of real-world medical expertise, evidence-based medicine, and relatable advice for parents and students alike. Dr. Grimes loves creating and thinking outside the box, in or out of the medical world.
