With David Moyes inspiring an upturn in form after seasons flirting with relegation, the panel debate whether the Blues should accelerate or temper expectations under the Premier League's new Squad Cost Ratio — limiting “on-pitch” spend (wages, transfers, agents) to 85% of football-related revenue and player-sale profits, and 70% for European participants.

In this episode of the Young Dad Podcast, host Jey Young engages with Paul and Andrew, co-hosts of the Why Dad podcast, to explore the complexities of fatherhood and manhood. They discuss their personal journeys, the importance of emotional intelligence, and the need for connection among men. The conversation highlights the challenges of parenting, the impact of loss, and the significance of community support. Through humor and heartfelt reflections, they emphasize that being a good dad starts with being a better man, and that mistakes are part of the learning process in fatherhood.TakeawaysBeing a good dad starts with being a better man.Manhood is a process, not a performance.The podcast serves as an outlet for personal growth.Connection over perfection is key in parenting.It's important to take care of oneself to support the family.Men often feel isolated and need community support.Intentionality in parenting leads to better connections.Mistakes in parenting are opportunities for growth.Kids crave connection and want us in their lives.Building a community of dads fosters support and understanding.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Why Dad Podcast02:22 The Birth of Why Dad Podcast04:36 Conversations on Fatherhood08:13 Coping with Loss and Finding Purpose10:01 Building Community and Connection11:33 Common Themes in Fatherhood Discussions14:45 The Importance of Connection17:23 Future Aspirations and Community Events18:17 The Importance of Connection and Intentionality20:51 Practical Steps for Intentional Parenting23:49 Embracing Mistakes in Fatherhood27:58 Fun and Lighthearted Moments in Parenting33:08 Closing Thoughts and Encouragement for Dads33:32 lifestyle-outro-high-long.wav

Is Church a Business? In this episode, I unpack a question many people quietly wrestle with: Has church become more of a business than a spiritual space? I talk about the practices, structures, and experiences that have caused some people to feel disconnected from church altogether—and why that disconnect is growing. This is an honest, reflective conversation about faith, community, money, and what people are really seeking when they walk through church doors… or choose not to anymore.

Each year the 3rd round of the FA Cup crops up awkward conversations for the podcast as we know Emery's approach to the competition generally. So, without trying to be antagonising to those who love the competition (looking at you, Mat), Dan and John have decided to have an open honest conversation about it.

Get ready for a vulnerable episode where I speak from the heart about how 2025 challenged me and stretched me in ways I didn't think were possible. This year asked me to let go of old identities- who I thought I had to be to create impact, stay relevant, and lead. From coaching fat loss while pregnant to stepping back from stages, masterminds, and constant visibility, this season required new beliefs, deeper trust, and aligned action.In a world that pushes us to want more, do more, and be more every January, this episode will make sure you are also asking yourself "Do I love the life that I am creating?"Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

As we finish up wellness month, today's conversation is about substance use disorder, recovery, and how people think about intentional living around this time of the year. Hosts Nickie Damico and Louisa Martin are joined by Bridget Petrillo, MS, CRNA and Rodrigo Garcia, CEO of Parkdale Center of Professionals, for an honest, deeply personal conversation about SUD, recovery, stigma, and hope within the anesthesia community. Drawing from their own lived experiences, our guests explain why anesthesia providers face unique occupational risks, how shame and fear often delay getting help, and why recovery is not only possible but life-giving. The discussion also highlights the importance of peer support, education, and institutional resources, including the AANA Helpline, Wellness Ambassador Network, and Anesthetists in Recovery (AIR) meetings. As the year comes to a close, we turn our focus to intentional living, gratitude, and wellness, especially during the holidays, when stress and isolation can intensify. The 24/7 confidential, AANA Helpline (800-654-5167) answered by addiction professionals to improve access to help for SUD. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

In this episode of Friends Without Benefits, we dig into one big question we get asked all the time. Can men and women really stay just friends? As two longtime friends who have never crossed the platonic line, we share our real life experiences, laugh through listener shoutouts, and talk honestly about friendship, attention, and what it means when people actually miss your podcast during a break.From comedy shows in Miami and supporting friends on tour to awkward small talk with strangers, fast food conspiracy theories, and the mystery of why smoke detectors always beep at the worst possible times, this episode is classic Friends Without Benefits energy. It is unscripted, funny, and full of the everyday observations that turn into big laughs.We also touch on why feeling seen by listeners matters, how humor connects people, and why sometimes the most meaningful relationships are the ones without expectations attached. Pull up a chair and hang out with us as we figure it out in real time.Episode Sponsor:Presented by 1-800 Call Lee — South Florida's trusted personal injury team.

Guest Info (Taken from Alyssa's Website)Alyssa Carmona| Certified Bioenergetics Practitioner, Hair Mineral Analysis Testing Coaching, Zone Therapist, NLP Certified Change Worker, Integral Eye Movement Therapy Certified, Qigong InstructorIn my early 20s, I faced a storm of confusing and exhausting symptoms: unexplained weight gain, cystic acne, pre-diabetes, chronic fatigue, SIBO, anxiety, amenorrhea—and eventually, a PCOS diagnosis. I tried everything: medications that came with harsh side effects, visits to functional doctors, SIBO protocols, heavy metal detoxes, and endless allergy testing. Despite all the effort, I still felt disconnected from my body and far from healed.What finally changed? I stopped treating symptoms in isolation and began supporting the whole system.Through deep research and personal experimentation, I discovered cellular healing through body-field balancing. I started addressing not just the physical—but the energetic, emotional, and subconscious imprints that were holding me back. That's when real healing began.As my body found balance, it naturally began releasing the toxic load it had been carrying for years. My symptoms resolved. My fertility returned. My energy and clarity returned. And perhaps most importantly—I reclaimed trust in my body.Now, It's My Mission to Help You Do the SameNavigating health today can feel overwhelming. Even with the “right” supplements, clean diet, and good intentions—many people still feel stuck. That's because true healing requires more than just physical input. Your body is a network of energy, emotion, memory, and biology.As an energy coach and body-field practitioner, I take a root-level approach—helping you uncover where your system is out of balance and guiding you back to alignment.Whether you're dealing with hormone imbalances, emotional burnout, chronic symptoms, or your child is showing signs of nervous system overload—I offer personalized, non-invasive support to restore vitality and peace in the body.Healing is possible. Your body is wise. Sometimes it just needs the right signal to remember how to thrive.My goal is to help you create the changes you've been looking for.

Cleveland Death Society inspires open conversations about mortality For many people, death is a taboo topic. It can feel uncomfortable, even controversial, and it's something people often avoid until they no longer can. But experts say making space to talk about death can also bring a surprising sense of relief and connection. So how do we face our fear of death, demystify it, and get more comfortable speaking honestly about it? In recent years, "death cafés" have emerged as informal gatherings, often in bars or coffee shops, where people come together simply to talk about mortality. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear from a local group, the Cleveland Death Society, which hosts these open, agenda-free conversations about loss and end-of-life experiences. And it's a timely moment for this discussion. For many, the winter holiday season can intensify feelings of grief and make them harder to navigate. Guests:- Kimberly Garchar, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Philosophy, Kent State University- Brandi Lynn Wiles, Founder, Cleveland Death Society- Gabriela Gomez, M.D., Resident Physician, Harvard Radiation Oncology Program Meet the new president and CEO of the Port of Cleveland The Port of Cleveland is a major economic driver of the region supporting some 23,000 jobs and contributing more than $4.7 billion to the Northeast Ohio economy annually. The organization's influence reaches far beyond just goods that are being transported through docks on the lakefront. They are involved in financing large housing projects, environmental endeavors and reshaping the banks of the Cuyahoga River. And now the Port of Cleveland has new leadership, as former CEO Will Friedman stepped away from the job after 14 years. Guest:- Jeff Epstein, President and CEO, The Port of Cleveland

Sin — it's the one topic that most churches avoid, yet it's the very thing keeping so many believers bound. We talk about blessing, breakthrough, and favor, but rarely do we talk about the one barrier that quietly blocks all three: sin. In this episode, we're having a real, unfiltered conversation about what sin actually is, why it's more than just bad behavior, and how it subtly separates us from God's presence and purpose. You'll learn:

Today's episode is something a little different. I sat down with the amazing Ash from Rainbow Sky Creations for a raw and honest chat, and this time I found myself on the other side of the microphone. It felt a bit strange being the one answering the questions, but Ash has a way of making you feel safe enough to tell the truth about your work, your why, and the messy bits in between. We talked about teaching, life, purpose, and what it means to try and make a difference in this wild and wonderful profession. It's a conversation filled with heart, a few laughs, and some vulnerable moments that I'm really proud to share. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed being part of it.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Jess Connolly—author, podcaster, and speaker—invites us into a season of her life marked by heartbreak and uncertainty.  Jess opens up about the winter of 2023, when her husband experienced panic attacks, heart issues, and a mental health crisis.

Followed by one of her children walking through a dark trial. Jess brings so much truth and gentle encouragement to anyone walking through a season that desperately needs hope, not the shallow Christian clichés we often hear, but a deep and steady hope that God is with us in the valley. Here's some of what we cover: The myth of the “prosperity gospel of parenting” and why 1+2 does not always equal 3 The pressure to assign purpose to a painful season  Rethinking Psalm 23 and understanding the rod and the staff  Learning to lament: why anger expressed to God is actually intimacy An exclusive sneak peak at her next book!  Connect with Jess Connolly:  Instagram: Jess Connolly | Author + Bible Teacher (@jessaconnolly) Facebook: Jess Connolly Website: Jess Connolly Links Mentioned:   What Comes Next: By Jess Connolly Tired of Being Tired: By Jess Connolly It's Not Supposed to Be This Way: By Lysa TerKeurst Related Episodes: Sidetracked with Jess Connolly :: Cynthia and Heather [Ep 484] Your Body is GOOD :: Jess Connolly [Ep 329] Worth Repeating // Jess Connolly Featured Sponsors: Sex Ed Reclaimed: Sex Ed Reclaimed offers a full curriculum with lifetime access so with that mind, visit sexedreclaimed.com to get your family's video curriculum today.

In this conversation, Dr. K sits down with creator JasonTheWeen to talk about the pressure of growing up, managing online relationships, and the complicated emotions that come with watching your parents get older. What starts as a light catch-up quickly turns into a deeper look at loneliness, responsibility, and the fear of losing the people you love. Jason opens up about feeling torn between his own life and his parents' wishes, especially his dad's plan to eventually return to Vietnam. Dr. K helps him explore the difference between what he feels he owes his parents and what he actually wants, while also unpacking how cultural expectations and emotional suppression shape the relationship. They also discuss the challenges of balancing streaming with real life, how hard it is to communicate honest feelings with family, and why unspoken emotions often turn into sadness or anger. It's a heartfelt and very human conversation about trying to grow while holding onto the people who matter.

Many firms say they have a Law Firm Strategy, but few actually do. In this episode, Chris Batz breaks down what true strategy looks like inside corporate law firms and why clarity must come before growth. He introduces his framework for effective law firm strategy, the "three P's": positioning, perception, and competition. He explains how each reveals the gap between where a firm stands today and where it aims to be. From understanding client perception to benchmarking against competitors, he outlines how to replace internal optimism with market reality and strategic focus.   Chris also tackles the forces reshaping the legal marketplace—AI, private equity, and shifting client expectations—and how they demand a more agile, evidence-based approach to law firm strategy. Rather than chasing growth for its own sake, Chris argues that firms must make disciplined trade-offs, align behavior with purpose, and revisit their strategy regularly to stay relevant.   This episode challenges leaders to ask: when was the last time your law firm strategy reflected the market you're actually competing in?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 What Law Firm Strategy Really Means 01:00 The Three P's: Positioning, Perception, and Competition 03:00 How to Define Your Market Position 06:20 Why Client Perception Shapes Reality 11:10 Building Credibility and Market Visibility 14:00 Adapting Strategy to Client Needs and Market Change 17:30 Common Pitfalls and the Strategy Gap 20:50 Growth Decisions: Lateral Hires vs. Mergers 23:25 On Law Firm Strategy Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Are you struggling with learning how to cope as a special needs parent when alcohol has been your go-to for years? Amy once felt the same way—thinking wine was the only way to take the edge off. But during a 30-day alcohol experiment, she uncovered something surprising: her drinking had less to do with parenting challenges and more to do with old coping patterns she'd carried for years. In this Where Are They Now chat with Coach Hayley, Amy opens up about how going alcohol-free has helped her show up differently as a mom, let go of micromanaging, and even lean back into supporting the very community she once wanted to escape. In this episode, Amy and Hayley catch up on: How Amy's "sneaky" relationship with alcohol masked deeper coping patterns Why The Alcohol Experiment was just the beginning of her real transformation How to cope as a special needs parent by addressing root causes, not just symptoms Why her drinking habits had nothing to do with special needs parenting challenges Learning to feel emotions instead of shoving them down with alcohol and other substances Shifting from anxiety-driven micromanagement to mindful, empowered parenting Applying the same "why" questions to break patterns with sugar, caffeine, and social media Professionally reinvesting in supporting individuals with diagnoses after her transformation And more… Episode links: Start Your Alcohol Experiment - www.alcoholexperiment.com Related Episodes: Special Needs and Drinking - Amy's Naked Life -E313 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-313-naked-life-story-amy-m/ From Isolation to Connection: Finding Your Way Alcohol-Free - Alcohol Freedom Coaching - E825 - https://thisnakedmind.com/feeling-lost-after-quitting-drinking-e825/ Sharing Your Personal Journey with Alcohol: A Guide to Honest Conversations and Healing Connections - Reader's Question - E620 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-618-readers-question-annie-graces-tips-for-dealing-with-family-members-who-continue-to-drink-2/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

You already know we're open books around here, so when we sat down to record an episode of things you might not know about us, we quickly realized… this was harder than it sounded! We share so much on this podcast, but we did manage to find a few fun and unexpected things that even our most loyal listeners may not have heard before.Amy kicks things off by sharing one about Abby—let's just say Abby sometimes thinks the rules don't apply to her. If she doesn't agree with a rule, she's not likely to follow it. Meanwhile, Amy's perspective on rules might surprise you. We also dig into how each of us handles stress and uncertainty. Amy's not particularly attached to things and has a grounded belief that unless something bad happens to someone she loves, everything will be okay. Abby, on the other hand, tends to think in terms of the worst case scenario—if something goes wrong, her first thought is usually, “How much work is this going to cause me?”We also compare our spending habits. When you think of a “big purchase,” what amount comes to mind? Amy shares her number—and it might not be what you expect. While Amy is more cautious about bigger buys, she is also the queen of small, repeated purchases. Whereas Abby, even if she's hungry, she'll wait until she's home to eat what's already there.You'll also hear why Abby is easily influenced, how Amy falls down the doom-scrolling rabbit hole, and which one of us prefers multitasking while watching TV versus doing things in total silence. And finally, Amy shares what she means when she says she has a calling to be a wild and free animal.This one's lighthearted, real, and full of those behind-the-scenes stories that make us who we are. Tune in for laughter, a few surprises, and maybe a deeper understanding of why we each do the things we do.LINKS AND RESOURCES:BETTERHELP: 10% off first month at: http://betterhelp.com/herselfLMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF Let'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.

In this episode, two parent-advocates - each with a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - share how ASD shapes communication, safety, and trust, and why lived experience should guide training for police, firefighters, EMTs, and courts. Together with Cheryl Stehle and Jamiel Owens, we explore misread behaviors, practical de-escalation, family preparation, and the need for policy that reduces harm.When neurodivergent people interact with first responders a single misunderstanding can turn a routine interaction into a crisis. We sit down with two parents whose lived experience with ASD reshaped how they see safety, communication, and trust—and how first responders can, too. Their personal stories and experiences move from early fear about ASD and confusing diagnoses to purposeful advocacy that prioritizes dignity and practical skills.We unpack what ASD really means in day-to-day life—why one person's eye contact challenges or stimming are not defiance, and how processing time, clear language, or a written prompt can lower the temperature fast. Jamiel shares how fatherhood and his role at the Center for Autism Research inform an approach that treats difference as a lens, not a deficit. Cheryl explains how AUTT training equips police, firefighters, EMTs, and juvenile probation with field-ready habits: pause to observe, ask neutral questions about communication needs, and look for tools like blue envelopes, ID cards, or a support contact. The message is simple and actionable: just ask, then adjust.We also talk about preparation within the family especially when domestic violence is present. An autism go-bag with headphones, comfort items, and a communication device can restore predictability during stressful moves or shelter entry. We discuss emergency preparedness practices for people living with ASD such as visiting police stations, seeing emergency response gear up close, and rehearsing traffic-stop steps that can prevent sensory shock and build confidence. Finally, we push for systems change: mandate recurring, lived-experience-led autism training across public safety platforms; create policy that normalizes optional license notations and standardized info kits; and fund community-curated resource hubs that actually meet families where they are.If this conversation resonates, share it with a caregiver, a first responder, or a policymaker who can put it to work.

You guys sent in some deep questions, and we're diving into all of it: navigating confusing parts of Church history, how to handle doubts when faith feels shaky, frustrations with garments, and finding your spark again in marriage. We also talk about judgmental family dynamics, forgiveness, and staying connected when a spouse leaves the Church. Thanks for being here, now let's dive in!

Traditional leadership models tend to choose between kindness and clarity. Zen teacher and executive coach Marc Lesser argues that's a false dichotomy.   In this episode, Sarah sits down with Marc to unpack the concept of compassionate accountability — or in Marc's preferred language, alignment with caring. It's the core of modern Entrepreneurship and Business leadership: setting clear expectations while staying deeply connected to the humans you work with. Instead of defaulting to micromanagement or passivity, leaders can choose high standards and high trust at the same time, the key to building high performing teams without sacrificing wellbeing.   Marc shares why psychological safety isn't just a cultural ideal, it's a metric that correlates directly with business performance. Referencing Google's Project Aristotle, he explains how teams perform better when leaders normalize mistakes, invite real feedback, and resist the urge to appear infallible. A strong team culture isn't born from rigid systems or motivational slogans, it comes from leaders modeling vulnerability and follow-through. If you've ever wondered how to hold people accountable with compassion, this episode is your roadmap.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Marc Lesser & Compassionate Accountability 02:51 What Compassionate Accountability Looks Like in Leadership 07:19 Misconceptions About Accountability and Compassion 13:14 Vulnerability as a Leadership Strategy 15:02 Google's Psychological Safety Study & Business Impact 20:01 Emotional Intelligence and Business Performance 24:51 Turning Breakdowns Into Breakthroughs 29:21 How to Hold People Accountable With Compassion 32:05 Leadership Lessons From the Zen Monastery Kitchen 34:06 Prioritizing Joy and Humanity in High-Performing Teams 36:21 Daily Habits to Build Clarity and Trust   Connect with Marc Lesser: Visit Marc's website   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Visit HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Together, they open up about raising their three boys and reflect on how their approach to parenting has evolved over the years. From Gary's “clairvoyant” instincts about their kids' genders to navigating the early days of parenthood and finding patience along the way, the couple shares stories that are both funny and deeply touching. They discuss teaching their sons critical thinking in the digital age, the importance of leading by example, and how they stay intentional about what they allow into their home. With moments of laughter, reflection, and even tears, Valeria and Gary discuss what kind of parents they want to be for their boys, and why, in the Lipovetsky household, accountability, integrity, and love are always at the core.

Dr. K sits down with Sadhguru for a rare meeting between science and spirituality to explore the roots of the modern mental-health crisis. Together they discuss how rapid sociological change, poor nutrition, and disconnection from nature are weakening our “human software,” and why inner engineering like learning to manage our chemistry and consciousness may be the antidote. Sadhguru challenges the Western split between “mind” and “body,” explaining how thought, emotion, and physiology form one system. He argues that most psychological suffering stems from compulsiveness, not illness—when the mind runs without conscious control. Dr. K probes how that idea fits clinical psychiatry, sparking a thoughtful exchange on chemistry, choice, and the limits of scientific frameworks. They move from philosophy into practice: what it means to take charge of your inner experience, how attachment and ego (“ahankara”) shape identity, and why love, relationships, and even stress are reflections of how well we manage our internal state. The episode closes with reflections on modern dating, dopamine vs oxytocin, and practical tools for returning to conscious, intentional living. Topics include: Why society's pace and environment are breaking our mental “software” The chemical basis of emotion, and learning to manage your inner factory Consciousness vs compulsiveness: the true axis of mental health The body as mind - why nutrition, breath, and movement matter Ahankara (ego) and the illusion of self-identity Suffering, stress, and the art of engineering your interiority Dr. K's reflections on dopamine addiction, relationships, and meaning This conversation bridges psychiatry and yogic science, offering both insight and practical philosophy for anyone seeking peace in an overstimulated world.

Drew Hart joined me to dig into questions from our God of Justice class about his lecture on the black church and American experience. We covered a lot of ground—from Drew's own journey as a preacher's kid who found his tribe in the prophetic tradition of the black church and Anabaptism, to why James Cone's confrontational theology is actually necessary for real liberation (not just comfortable reconciliation). Drew pushed back hard on white progressive Christianity that performs solidarity without changing oppressive structures, explaining why gradualism is always justice denied. We talked about enslaved people adapting (not just adopting) Christianity into something radically different from what slaveowners preached, the messy reality of violence and peacemaking when your back's against the wall, and what a reparations God actually means—hint: it's about healing, not just debt calculation. If you want theology that takes the crucified Jesus seriously, rather than abstracting him into universal principles that leave power structures intact, this conversation delivers. Drew G. I. Hart is a public theologian and professor of theology at Messiah University. He has ten years of pastoral ministry experience and is the recipient of multiple awards for peacemaking. Hart attained his MDiv with an urban concentration from Missio Seminary and his PhD in theology and ethics from Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. He is a sought-after speaker at conferences, campuses, and churches across the United States and Canada. His first book, Trouble I've Seen: Changing the Way the Church Views Racism, utilizes personal and everyday stories, theological ethics, and anti-racism frameworks to transform the church's understanding and witness. Hart lives with his wife, Renee, and their three sons in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
