Tradwife culture is having a moment, but what happens when traditional femininity, purity culture, the thin ideal, and disordered eating begin to overlap? In this SOLO episode, Dr. Marianne Miller examines the growing popularity of tradwives and renewed interest in conservative Christianity among some young women. She considers why messages about modesty, discipline, self-denial, homemaking, and being a “good woman” may feel especially appealing during a time of uncertainty, loneliness, and cultural change. Tradwives, Purity Culture, & the Thin Ideal Tradwife content often presents an idealized picture of femininity: beautiful homes, homemade food, motherhood, marriage, modesty, and clearly defined gender roles. Yet many of the women who represent this aesthetic online are also conventionally attractive and thin. Dr. Marianne asks whether the resurgence of traditional femininity is happening alongside another cultural shift: the return of an increasingly narrow thin ideal. In the age of GLP-1 medications, “what I eat in a day” videos, wellness culture, and shrinking celebrity bodies, young women are once again receiving powerful messages about how much physical space they should occupy. Disordered Eating, Diet Culture, & the “Good Girl” Diet culture and purity culture can also share a familiar vocabulary: discipline versus indulgence, clean versus contaminated, good versus bad, and control versus temptation. For people vulnerable to eating disorders, self-denial can easily receive praise. Food restriction may look like discipline. Compulsive exercise may look like dedication. Orthorexia may look like wellness. Ignoring hunger may look like self-control. This episode also examines a striking contradiction in tradwife culture: women may be celebrated for producing abundant homemade food for their families while still being expected to maintain thin bodies themselves. Feed everyone else, but keep your own appetite contained. Eating Disorder Recovery Means Reclaiming Appetite Dr. Marianne expands the meaning of “shrinking” beyond body size. Women have long been encouraged to minimize their hunger, anger, sexuality, ambition, needs, and voices. Eating disorders can turn those cultural expectations inward. Eating disorder recovery can involve reclaiming appetite in a much broader sense: permission to want food, pleasure, rest, relationships, independence, motherhood or no motherhood, a career or homemaking, and a life that does not require becoming smaller to belong. Rather than mocking women drawn to tradwife culture or conservative Christianity, Dr. Marianne encourages curiosity about what these movements may provide: certainty, community, spirituality, belonging, structure, or relief from hustle culture. At the same time, we can question any system that ties women's goodness to restraint, purity, desirability, self-denial, or thinness. In this episode: tradwives and eating disorders, disordered eating, the thin ideal, purity culture, conservative Christianity, diet culture, orthorexia, wellness culture, GLP-1s, body image, traditional femininity, women and food, and eating disorder recovery.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change.  where we explore the thinking that shapes how change really happens. My guest today is Dr David Rock, cofounder and chief executive of the NeuroLeadership Institute, originator of the SCARF model and author of our Brain at Work.His forthcoming book, Good With Humans, brings together more than twenty five years of research into what motivates us, what puts us into a state of threat and how this shapes the way we interact with one another.In this conversation, we explore what change does to the brain, why even a perceived threat can affect our ability to think, how a leader's emotional state can spread through a team, and whether continuous change is beginning to test the limits of our cognitive capacity.This is part one of my conversation with Dr David Rock.Enjoy.About DavidI coined the term 'Neuroleadership', and am the co-founder and CEO of the Neuroleadership Institute (NLI).

Are you an overachieving director, VP, or senior corporate leader experiencing a shift in your personal or professional life, feeling the persistent itch to build an asset you completely own?   In this reflective solo episode, host Billy Keels shares a powerful story from a family celebration along the Hudson Bay looking over the New York City skyline—a true "balcony moment" that crystallized why career designs must continuously adapt to life's changing seasons. Whether you're navigating new promotions, international moves, college-bound children, aging parents, or shifting compensation plans, your priorities naturally evolve. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of Heraclitus—the only constant in life is change—Billy breaks down why you do not need 100% of the answers or complete readiness to start building a side venture. Discover how to turn passive contemplation into intentional action, leverage your executive experience, and create a lifestyle where you show up to your career entirely by choice.

Are you talking to your ideal podcast listener... or accidentally talking right over their head? You may be losing exactly the people you want to reach. When you're an expert, it's easy to forget how much you know. The acronyms, industry jargon and background information that feel completely normal to you might leave your ideal listener wondering what the hell you're talking about. Or you might have the opposite problem. You could be explaining things they already know while they're sitting there thinking, Yeah, yeah. When are we going to get to the good stuff? Back in my talk-radio days, I used to practice "leave no listener behind." If a guest said something that might leave part of the audience scratching their heads, I gave them enough context to stay with us. After more than a decade of coaching entrepreneurs on their podcasts, I've changed that rule a little. Now it's: Leave no IDEAL listener behind. In this episode, I'll show you how easy it is for someone to create a smart, professional podcast that still misses the mark because they're talking to their peers instead of the clients they actually want to attract. We'll also look at why making something understandable isn't the same as dumbing it down, and how to figure out the right level for your podcast. In this episode, you'll learn: Why experts unintentionally talk over the heads of their ideal listeners How to avoid talking down to more experienced listeners Why you might be creating a podcast for your peers instead of your clients How to find the right level for your content My A-to-Z framework for understanding where your listener is in their journey Why your ideal listener should influence your topics, guests and questions, not just the words you use The power of having a 'Listener-Centric' podcast Your podcast doesn't need to serve everybody. It needs to make the right people feel like they're in the right place. If you're wondering whether your podcast is speaking to the right people at the right level, that's exactly the kind of thing we look at inside the Podcast Tune-Up.

¿Sentís que en el trabajo todo te cuesta más que a los demás, y no sabés si el problema sos vos o es el sistema en el que te tocó funcionar? Esta pregunta no es solo tuya: nos la planteó una oyente después de escuchar uno de nuestros primeros episodios, y nos pareció tan buena que decidimos abrir con ella una nueva serie sobre TDAH y trabajo. En este episodio arrancamos respondiendo sus comentarios para desarmar una idea muy instalada: que hablar de síntomas es estigmatizar, y que los problemas laborales del TDAH son solo un choque contra un sistema mal diseñado.Descubrirás:✅ Por qué plantear "TDAH versus sistema productivo" es una falsa dicotomía, y qué evidencia muestra que las dificultades de autorregulación aparecen también fuera del trabajo.✅ La diferencia entre describir síntomas para diagnosticar y tratar, y usar esa descripción para estigmatizar, y por qué confundir ambas cosas termina perjudicando a quien busca ayuda.✅ Qué son las "adaptaciones razonables" en el trabajo, dónde está su límite real y por qué la inclusión efectiva depende de un esfuerzo compartido entre la persona y el contexto, no de uno solo.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker and Dr. Sara Ailshire examine the available evidence on planned unassisted birth, also known as freebirth, defined as intentionally giving birth without a qualified midwife or physician present.   They explore why some people choose a planned unassisted birth, including previous trauma, distrust of the medical system, barriers to preferred care, and a desire for greater autonomy. Dr. Dekker and Dr. Ailshire also explain how freebirth differs from midwife-attended home birth, what research shows about planned community birth, and the safeguards a trained birth attendant can provide during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the newborn period. Finally, they discuss investigative reporting concerning the Free Birth Society, including allegations of misinformation and preventable harm associated with its community.   Content Note: This episode includes discussions of stillbirth, maternal death, newborn death, birth trauma, and serious complications related to planned unassisted birth.   (00:03:20) What Is Freebirth?

Are you a senior corporate leader, director, or enterprise tech VP who has climbed to a high-paying salary, yet you find yourself completely exhausted from putting 60 to 70 hours a week into the machine?   In this transparent guest conversation, host Billy Keels sits down with Derek Schutz—a senior director leading a massive services team and a multimillion-dollar account portfolio at a market-leading enterprise software brand. Derek pulls back the curtain on his own profound personal wake-up call, sharing how the compounding physical and psychological stress of corporate "busyness" led him to completely audit his calendar capital. Discover how to utilize corporate execution principles—like tracking lead measures instead of lag measures—to compress your working schedule down to a high-impact 40 hours. Learn how to have direct, proactive conversations with your management team to establish unbreakable professional boundaries, and see how to parlay your enterprise leadership capital into an independent, highly rewarding side project completely by choice, not obligation.

Most people are told real estate is all about location. What if that's the wrong rule? In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Axel Meierhoefer, former German Air Force fighter pilot and founder of Ideal Wealth Grower, to discuss how to build real estate wealth that replaces earned income and buys back your time. Episode highlights: • Why performance beats location when you invest for cash flow • The IDEAL framework: income, depreciation, equity, appreciation, and leverage • How turnkey providers and property clusters make investing scalable • Why professionalizing with an LLC changes how banks and sellers treat you • Building reserves that let you buy a new property every 12–18 months Watch the full episode and ask yourself: Are you building assets that will pay you when you stop working?

Ella Langley's country song "Be Her" describes a woman who seems to have it all figured out — grounded, secure, at peace — and an aching desire to become her. At first blush it sounds like a song about envying someone else. Yet, the lyrics aren't describing another woman; Langley sings about the version of herself she wishes she could become. In this episode, we use that ache as a lens on one of the sneakiest idols we build: not comparing ourselves to an influencer or a stranger, but to an idealized version of ourselves. It's a "her" that stays just out of reach. We talk about why that chase can never actually deliver peace, what Scripture says about being transformed into an image that isn't self-made. To have this kind of ache is human, but there's only one place the ache can be cured. Key Scripture references: 1 Samuel 16:7 (man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart) Romans 12:2 (do not be conformed, but transformed) 2 Corinthians 3:18 (being transformed into his image, from one degree of glory to another) Colossians 3:3 (your life is hidden with Christ in God) Ephesians 2:10 (we are his workmanship) Discussion questions for listeners / community: If you pictured your idealized self right now, what would she look like? What is she doing that you're not? What peace or security do you think "becoming her" would actually give you? Name it specifically. Where have you been conforming to a self-made image instead of letting yourself be transformed? What would it look like this week to bring your ache for peace directly to God instead of to another round of self-improvement? A note on the source material: This episode discusses themes and reported artist commentary about Ella Langley's song "Be Her" (from her 2026 album Dandelion) but does not reproduce song lyrics. Listeners are encouraged to listen to the song themselves for the full experience.

Are you an overachieving sales leader, director, or enterprise tech executive feeling trapped by the assumption that your only choices are grinding up the rigid corporate ladder or risking everything by walking away?   In this thought-provoking solo episode, host Billy Keels explores the profound lessons hidden inside Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act: A Way of Being, drawing a direct parallel between modern career design and the legendary board game Go, a game played for over 3,000 years. Billy breaks down the famous "Move 37" executed by DeepMind's AlphaGo artificial intelligence, a move so unprecedented that it shocked the world's greatest master because it completely ignored 30 centuries of human limiting beliefs. Discover how adopting a true beginner's mind (innocent ignorance) allows you to strip away standard corporate conditioning, break free from conventional linear promotion steps, and execute your own "Move C," allowing you to continuously overperform in your corporate role while simultaneously building a high-impact, independent side venture that puts you in complete control of your time and income.

Sean and Andrew are finishing up their conversation about nitrogen with Iowa State University's Dr. Mike Castellano and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Dr. Andrew Margenot.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, Drs. Andy Moorhead and Tom Nelson from the American Heartworm Society address questions practitioners frequently pose about treating heartworm cases when following every step of the AHS-recommended diagnostic and treatment protocol isn't possible. Whether the issue is money, a hard-to-wrangle dog or a previous caretaker who opted for an alternative approach, there are multiple reasons why compromises must sometimes be made in the treatment and care plan for a heartworm-positive dog.Sponsored By: American Heartworm Society

Full show notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/bolt In this episode, Chandler Bolt and I talk about how we've each landed on almost identical daily systems for running a company, and the one place we still disagree. Chandler makes the case that a book is a business asset rather than an income stream, explains what it actually costs to buy your way onto the New York Times list, and then walks through the routine underneath all of it: a nap he hasn't skipped in years, a morning he refuses to let anyone schedule over, and a phone that geofences itself into work mode the moment he arrives at the office. You'll also hear why he self-experiments relentlessly yet refuses to wear a tracker. We get into the two metrics worth watching if you track nothing else, why the 30-minute nap ceiling is weaker science than you've been told, why a hot tub is harder on fertility than a sauna, what overhead LED lighting does to your afternoon and the BlockBlueLight bulbs I use instead, and why a manual WALKOLUTION treadmill desk beats a motorized one. Chandler also shares the airplane movement trick that got him mistaken for a lunatic by a stranger who later became a friend. Then we close on communication: being a default no, replacing calls with voice memos, and using SocialSweep to surface the connections already sitting in your phone.

This week’s episode looks at a variety of social and ethical visions that aim for the perfect society or state of being through, especially in the West. These visions, some of which have religious and even Christian roots, end up bracketing out a full Christian view of transcendence and replace it with one or another type of reality immanent in nature or the human or in human invention alone.

This week, Mars is in conflict with, and Jupiter makes a soothing aspect to, serious Saturn. Mental faculties and manual skills get a supercharged boost with the sextile between Mercury and Mars, and the Gemini Last Quarter Moon manages to express the ideas that the Virgo Sun has given a lot of detailed thought. We have a pretty busy week at the Big Sky HQ as April gets ready for a conference and the Podathon, which starts next week, so we will keep things relatively brief and put off a listener question until after the Podathon!

Timestamps [1:34] Jupiter trines Saturn (Aug. 31, 3:17 pm PDT) at 13°41' Leo and Aries. This is the first of three trines that they will make. The other two will come on Apr. 3 and Jul. 11, 2027. Jupiter's Sabian symbol is 14 Leo: The human soul awaiting opportunity for expression.  Saturn is on 14 Aries: A serpent coiling near a man and a woman.  This aspect balances Jupiter's expansive optimism with Saturn's realistic restraint. Ideal for goals requiring both ambition and discipline. [4:28] Mars squares Saturn (Sep. 1, 2:59 am PDT) at 13°39' Cancer and Aries.  Mars' Sabian symbol is 14 Cancer: A very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast.  Treat this transit as a lesson in how to impose more control and discipline over your temper, impulsiveness, and physical drives. [7:51]  Mercury sextiles Mars (Sep. 1, 6:21 am PDT) at 13°44' Virgo and Cancer.  Mercury is on the Sabian symbol 14 Virgo, A family tree.  Be mindful of your words.  Great transit for projects that require being good with your hands and having attention to detail. [9:43] Moon Report!  The Gemini Last Quarter Moon (Sep. 4, 12:51 am PDT) at 11°48' Gemini and Virgo. This Last Quarter wraps up that New Moon solar eclipse in Leo (Aug. 12, 2026).  Consider letting go of the sadness and regret that this eclipse season may have brought. [12:39] This is the Last Quarter phase (last action phase) in a lunar phase family cycle that began with a New Moon on Jun. 6, 2024 (16°17' Gemini). The First Quarter (first action phase) was on Mar. 6, 2025 (16°21' Gemini). The Full Moon (awareness point) occurred on Dec. 4, 2025 (13°3' Gemini). [14:29]  Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods.  The Moon in Aries opposes Venus in Libra (Aug. 31, 12:47 pm PDT). It's VOC then for 12 hours, 14 minutes before it enters Taurus (Sep. 1, 1:01 am PDT).  Use this VOC Moon to get in the habit of balancing your desires with somebody else's needs, so that a happy compromise can be reached. [15:57] The Moon in Taurus trines Mercury in Virgo (Sep. 2, 3:47 am PDT). It's VOC for 1 day, 1 hour before it enters Gemini (Sep. 3, 4:47 am PDT).  This is a great VOC Moon period to get to the root of an unhealthy habit or issue, so that healing and recovery can take place. [16:57] The Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Libra (Sep. 5, 1:40 am PDT). It's VOC for 5 hours, 50 minutes, and then enters Cancer (7:30 am PDT).  Use this VOC Moon to get in the habit of connecting with your neighbors during communal events.
