In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.  The Question: "Is there a way for someone with responsive desire to initiate sex? Do you have any recommendations?" What We Cover in This Episode: • Can you initiate with responsive desire? Yes. Initiation does not have to mean you are ready for sex right away. This episode explores how people with responsive desire can start connection in ways that feel safe, honest, and pressure-free. • What responsive desire actually means. Why some people need emotional or mental build-up before physical arousal, and how explaining your “longer runway” can change the way your partner understands intimacy. • The fear of being a tease or changing your mind. A real conversation about hesitation around initiating, including the pressure to follow through and how to reframe initiation as starting foreplay, not promising sex. • How to talk about initiation with your partner. Scripts and examples for getting on the same page about timelines, expectations, and what initiating looks like when you need more build-up before intimacy. • Creative ways to initiate without pressure. From morning cuddles and daytime flirting to teasing PDA and slow-burn make-outs, we share playful techniques that help build anticipation while honoring responsive desire. • You are not too much for needing more. A reminder that responsive desire is valid, that foreplay and communication create better sex for everyone, and that your needs matter whether you are dating, single, or in a long-term relationship. ⁠Learn more about 1:1 coaching HERE!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Get Honeydew Me Merch HERE!⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if playing it safe is actually keeping you from the life and relationships you truly want? Too often, fear convinces us to stay small, avoid discomfort, and stick to familiar routines, especially when it comes to our most important connections. The result? Missed opportunities for deep intimacy, vibrant trust, and authentic connection. It's a paradox: the very quest for comfort may be the greatest risk of all. In this episode, listeners are invited to challenge the idea that comfort equals happiness. Through inspiring stories and practical tools, the conversation explores how embracing courage, even in small, everyday ways, can lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships. Discover why facing fears (rather than running from them) is essential for personal growth and intimacy, and how a simple courage practice can transform both self-perception and connection with loved ones. Whether it's starting an uncomfortable conversation or supporting each other through life's uncertainties, this episode offers actionable steps to help anyone move from fear to flourishing in their relationships. Scott Simon is a thought leader, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of the Scare Your Soul movement, helping people transform their lives through small daily acts of courage. He's worked with the UN, Nestlé, Ritz Carlton, Logitech, and the Cleveland Clinic to build braver teams and more connected cultures. When he's not leading keynotes or designing transformative retreats, you'll find Scott chasing live music, journaling in strange airports, or hunting down the world's best hole-in-the-wall restaurants.   Episode Highlights 04:24 Overcoming the tendency to shrink back and building momentum through bravery and courage. 09:20 How embracing discomfort leads to growth and creativity. 16:16 How small actions outside your comfort zone can build courage and lead to transformative outcomes. 20:08 Challenging relationship norms for deeper bonds. 28:47 Unlocking authenticity through vulnerability in relationships. 32:10 Aligning courageous choices with core values in relationships. 35:30 Personal examples of standing in your truth. 39:56 Practicing self-awareness and micro acts of courage for relational growth.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Start a daily courage practice: Each day, do one small thing that scares you or takes you out of your comfort zone, just as the guest recommends. Pause and check in with yourself: Before difficult conversations, take a moment to breathe deeply and center yourself, allowing self-awareness to guide your next steps. Reflect on your core values: Use your values as a filter when deciding which courageous actions to take in your relationships. Initiate honest conversations: If you're holding back something important, practice being the one to "go first" and share vulnerably, even if it feels risky. Name your feelings in real-time: During tough moments, state what you're experiencing physically or emotionally (e.g., "My heart is racing right now"), to foster connection and authenticity. Seek support for brave actions: Engage a partner or friend to do something courageous together, which can increase commitment and make the experience richer. Replace silence with authentic sharing: Consider what keeping quiet is truly serving, and choose to communicate openly instead of bottling things up. Practice small acts of kindness: Try courage-building social acts, like initiating a friendly conversation or buying someone a coffee, to strengthen your confidence and connectedness.   Mentioned Scare Your Soul (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) David Schnarch (*Wikipedia link) Conscious Loving (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Scott Simon Websites: scottsimon.us | scareyoursoul.com Instagram: instagram.com/scareyoursoul Substack: scareyoursoul.substack.com

Over time, that dynamic can leave the lower desire spouse feeling pressured, and the higher-desire spouse feeling unwanted or unseen.But here's the truth: when the lower-desire spouse initiates, it can be incredibly powerful.

Today's episode of Mavericks & Misfits presents to us a crucial question: Are we operating in the gifts and calling God has actually given us, or are we trying to fulfill roles that drain rather than energize us? Drawing from Ephesians 4, we're reminded that God established five distinct ministry graces—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—not as optional organizational structures, but as essential foundations for a healthy, thriving church. Jeff Lyle challenges the modern tendency to collapse all these roles into one person called 'pastor,' which has left many leaders exhausted and congregations undernourished. When we understand our unique design within the body of Christ, we stop competing and start partnering with one another in the Spirit. The evangelist brings people to salvation, the teacher grounds them in truth, the shepherd nurtures their growth, the prophet keeps us aligned with God's present word, and the apostle builds systems and raises up the next generation. We're invited to examine whether we're in the right seat on the bus—serving where God has equipped us rather than where tradition or expectation has placed us. This isn't just about church structure; it's about personal fulfillment and Kingdom effectiveness. When we all discover and operate in our God-given grace, frustration gives way to fruitfulness, and the mission of Christ advances with supernatural power.

Did you know about 80% of employees will become parents at some point in their careers, but many do not feel supported? A third do not even think they will return to work after parental leave. And of those who do, many leave within a year. Regardless of the path they choose, one thing is clear: A lot of parents feel that starting a family has at least temporarily derailed their career.Therefore, companies need most: resilience, empathy, focus, crisis management, and a long-view perspective. Their book invites leaders to reimagine working parents not as a liability but as an untapped competitive edge. Written for executives and managers, The Parenthood Advantage explores how companies can build cultures that value parents—and thrive because of it. But the book also serves as a roadmap for parents and soon to be parents—male and female—who want to know how best to prepare for leave and how to transition back to the workplace smoothly. Some of the actionable insights for parents include:Set expectations early: Initiate a conversation with your manager three to four months before leave starts. That allows time to plan coverage, discuss communication preferences (clean break vs. lightly looped in), and begin a dialogue that makes the transition smoother on both sides.Know your company's policy around parental leave: And do not assume your manager does. Not all HR departments prioritize equipping managers with this information. Share with them what you learn.Schedule a resolute “returnship” conversation: Get it on the calendar before you leave so that it can take place a couple of weeks prior to coming back. This is a chance to check in on projects and ask for any flexibility you may need (like adjusted days or hours). https://booklife.com/project/the-parenthood-advantage-102115http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

We are living in what some are calling “a loneliness epidemic.” The holidays, a time for celebrating our connections to each other, only amplify feelings of loneliness for many people. As we are more connected, digitally speaking, than ever before, we have never been more disconnected from one another as human beings. We are tackling this issue head-on today! I'm thrilled to bring you a timely interview with a husband-and-wife team that knows what it means to stick together in partnership. They give us insights into their unique partnership approach, the concept of “sticking together” in an organizational context, and practical strategies for building cohesive teams. Lee and Julie view their current work as the most important of their careers, as it addresses loneliness and the impaired social skills that have emerged since the COVID-19 pandemic in our country. This topic is essential to all of us who have lost our muscle of human connection, and we can rebuild it–one intentional step at a time. Are you ready to improve your connection skills? Join us now!Dr. Lee Colan and Julie Davis-Colan co-founded The L Group in 1999, driven by a personal calling to equip and encourage leaders to achieve healthy growth.

Lee is a former chief human resource officer, organizational psychologist, and leadership consultant who has worked with some of America's top companies. Julie is a corporate health strategist and leadership consultant who has spearheaded the implementation of corporate wellness initiatives for many of America's leading organizations. In this episode, Lee and Julie discuss their collaborative work in leadership development, organized culture, and their newly released book Stick Together: A Simple Leadership Lesson for Building a Winning Culture. Their next book will be published in September of 2026. Show Highlights:Lee and Julie's writing process: Pinpointing what the world needs to hear (in their next book) through their consulting workSocial skills are skills that need to be practiced.Multiple factors have contributed to loneliness since the COVID pandemic.Fact: We were born to connect. All of our efforts to live a healthy lifestyle (nutrition, exercise, good sleep, etc.) are canceled out by our lack of social connections.The quality of our relationships is integral to living a long, healthy life. Action steps of Colan's model to improve your connection skills:Reach out. “If you're in line, get offline!” Everyone wants to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.Seek understanding. Find out the story behind the person and find common points of connection.Make memories. Initiate shared experiences, whether with new friends, old friends, or teams at work. Check in. A text, voicemail, email, or phone call can help cement your connection to another person. Lean into both difficult and celebratory situations by showing up. Rituals are an important part of connecting us and creating memories, whether with family, friends, or work teams. Creating connections produces positive physiological and psychological outcomes.Even remote workers can create intentional points of connection within their teams. One key takeaway from Dr. Lee: “Take one little baby step. Reach out to somebody today.”One key takeaway from Julie: “Make a commitment to reaching out to someone each day. Your life will be much more enjoyable, and you will be happier. It's a beautiful...

When was the last time you felt a sinking feeling just thinking about money? For many, money is far more than just numbers in a bank account—it's tangled up with our emotions, childhood experiences, and even our closest relationships. All too often, conversations around money get swept under the rug, leaving us to battle our financial stress and shame alone. But what if unraveling these hidden money wounds is the key to building stronger connections—with ourselves and with others? In this episode, listeners are invited to reimagine their relationship with money and begin addressing the emotional baggage attached to it. Through relatable stories and practical examples, this conversation explores how early money memories shape our beliefs and behaviors, and impact how we communicate with partners, friends, and even our kids. You'll learn actionable steps to identify your own "money story," bridge differences in financial perspectives, and move from feelings of shame or avoidance to a place of security and mutual understanding. If you're ready to make money a tool for connection rather than conflict, this episode offers a roadmap for transforming anxiety into empowerment.

Shari breaks down complex financial topics into real-life conversations that empower women to own their worth and build lasting wealth. She's been named a 2024 Best Wealth Manager and Advisor Under 40 by InvestmentNews.   Episode Highlights 04:40 How sharing money struggles brings us closer. 07:59 Understanding money personalities in romantic relationships. 10:08 Unpacking money conflicts: Addressing deeper needs in couples. 13:58 Creating compromises and shared financial goals in partnership. 17:20 Exploring childhood money memories and their lasting impact. 22:36 Real couple example: Money stories shaping habits and choices. 24:51 Turning financial difficulties into relationship growth. 26:57 The healing power of monthly money conversations. 31:28 Moving from money shame to practical, empowered choices. 38:26 Making spending intentional and aligning with values. 41:47 Reflection questions to deepen your money relationships.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Reflect on your earliest money memory to uncover potential beliefs and wounds about finances. Initiate regular, open conversations about money with your partner or friends without sharing private details. Identify your and your partner's "money personality" (saver, spender, hoarder, YOLO) to better understand differences in financial habits. Practice vulnerability by sharing concerns or challenges related to money to strengthen intimacy and support. Set a realistic number that feels comfortable for your checking account and use it as your "zero" baseline. Build an emergency fund by calculating three to six months of expenses and agreeing on the right amount for your household. Align spending habits with your core values and make intentional choices that reflect what matters most to you. Create structured, positive money check-ins with your partner, starting each meeting with wins or appreciations to foster connection.   Mentioned 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Shari Rash Websites: everyonestalkinmoneypodcast.com | gwawealth.com X: x.com/MoneyChicShari YouTube: youtube.com/@EveryonesTalkinMoney Instagram: instagram.com/everyonestalkinmoney LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/shari-rash  

Are you waking up drained, unfocused, and frustrated—yet every test says you're “fine”?Why does your energy keep dipping no matter how clean you eat or how often you hit the gym?What if the problem isn't your discipline… but that you've been looking for answers in the wrong place?In this episode, we dive into the real reasons why so many men and women feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck—even when they're “doing everything right.” We explore the emotional and physical frustrations that come from being dismissed by conventional healthcare, and the deeper questions many are asking: What's really going on inside my body? Why don't I feel like myself anymore? And is there finally a path forward that actually works?Our guest Adam Woolard knows this journey firsthand. Adam is the Vice President of Business Development and a Health Coach at Joi + Blokes. In his early 30s, he began experiencing unexplained changes in his health—low energy, brain fog, declining motivation—and conventional medicine offered no real solutions. A comprehensive blood work review through Joi + Blokes changed everything. It transformed his health, his clarity, and his life. Today, Adam is on a mission to guide people who feel disillusioned, dismissed, or overlooked by traditional healthcare and are ready to finally get real answers.Inside this conversation, we unpack:– Why so many adults are walking around with undiagnosed deficiencies– What conventional medicine often misses– The key biomarkers everyone should know– How Adam rebuilt his health from the inside out– The path to becoming the strongest, clearest, most energized version of yourselfThis is a powerful, eye-opening episode for anyone ready to reclaim their health, advocate for their body, and step into a life that finally feels good again.Quotes:“I start with, I'm a believer, so I gave my life to Christ about two years ago. I was baptized about a year and a half ago. So that's how I initially describe myself, because all the gifts, all the amazing things that I have in my life, they wouldn't be a thing without Jesus.”“You can't really focus on pleasing everybody, because you're never going to please everybody. Even if you are the most morally upstanding person ever, there's going to be someone who's going to disagree with you, and those voices are way louder than the voices that agree with you.”“I'm on this journey of just self-discovery, but also just being the best man that I possibly can so that I can show up in the way that everyone who is in my life needs me to.”Actionable Takeaways:Reflect on your core values and identity: Ask yourself, “Who am I beyond my job titles and roles?” and consider how your actions align with your beliefs and long-term purpose.Prioritize health by understanding your body: Schedule comprehensive blood work to uncover your underlying biomarkers, then use that information to make targeted improvements in diet, exercise, sleep, and overall wellness.Initiate regular relationship check-ins: Set aside intentional time with your partner each day or week to discuss highs, lows, and appreciations—strengthening your connection and communication.Conclusion:Adam's story is a powerful reminder that you don't have to accept “fine” as your future. When your body is signaling that something is off—fatigue, low motivation, brain fog, hormonal shifts—you deserve more than generic answers or quick dismissals. Real transformation happens when you dig deeper, ask better questions, and partner with people who actually care about getting to the root cause.If you're tired of feeling unheard, overlooked, or stuck in the dark about your health, this episode is your invitation to take the first step toward clarity. With the right testing, the right guidance, and the right support, you can reclaim your energy, your confidence, and your life.Your health is too important to leave to guesswork. Start the journey toward real answers today.

In this episode I discuss the differences and intersections between the paths of the mystic and the occultist, and a modern trend of merging the two, which is what I see for most people in their Akashic Records.The spiritual path you feel most drawn to often has its influence in past lives.The Mystic Path is one of the heart, focused on Divine Union and surrender, whilst the Occultist Path tends to be more systematic and scientific in its approach.I reference Dion Fortune's work (the Training and Work of the Initiate).To come along to my next FREE online Akashic Records Workshop, you can register here.To listen to the episode referenced about the direct and indirect spiritual paths, please click here.

For this episode of the show, we are joined by Amy Cushner! Amy has dedicated more than 30 years to the Shelton School and a lifetime to advocating for neurodivergent individuals, infusing passion, humor, and wisdom into every stage she graces. From classrooms in Dallas to conferences in China, she has become a sought-after voice championing inclusive, strengths-based approaches across both education and business.. In this episode, Amy breaks down the important differences between accommodations, modifications, and remediation in the education system, explaining how these terms are often used interchangeably but have distinct purposes that can significantly impact a child's learning journey. Amy discusses the historical context, which traces back to Thomas Jefferson's vision for public education and the challenges of the "Goldilocks effect," ensuring the right fit for every student. She highlights why it's so important to understand the “magic number” that determines when remediation is provided, highlighting that the need for support does not disappear just because a student falls short of the threshold. Amy stresses the importance of understanding important distinctions as they have major implications for a student's educational journey, particularly when it comes to college and career choices, and she also emphasizes the crucial role of early intervention and the empowerment of students to self-advocate, using visual cues and clear communication about their accommodations. Throughout our conversation, Amy shares some valuable insights and practical advice for parents and educators, highlighting the need for a collaborative approach and the recognition that every child's learning journey is unique.  Show Notes: [3:21] - Amy Cushner traces public education's evolution from Jefferson to modern challenges in individualized learning. [6:54] - Students often get accommodations when remediation or intervention is truly required. [7:12] - Amy criticizes rigid “magic number” cutoffs for remediation, calling them unfair and financially motivated. [9:13] - Accommodations, Amy explains, provide classroom access without altering expectations or content. [11:18] - Amy contrasts accommodations with modifications, which lower expectations to match processing or cognitive challenges. [13:54] - Amy highlights knowing accommodation vs. modification and likens it to learning another country's customs. [15:12] - Remediation can help develop missing skills caused by neurological learning differences, not intellectual deficits. [17:31] - Research shows us that remediation builds entirely new neural pathways, effectively rewiring students' brains. [20:17] - When schools won't fund remediation, parents have to seek external diagnoses and licensed therapists. [23:19] - Hear how true remediation requires trained therapists. [26:45] - Remediation needs to be paired with accommodations like audiobooks for full access. [27:39] - Amy explains how modifications alter curriculum expectations, influencing future school and college options. [30:02] - Amy suggests that teachers can use accommodations across the board to help build learning from the ground up. [32:32] - Starting instruction too high frustrates students, while accommodations let them build confidence gradually. [34:59] - Educational advocates help parents navigate laws, testing, and school obligations, helping to ease parental burdens. [38:10] - Timely intervention prevents years of lost learning caused by eligibility cutoffs. [41:21] - Amy encourages early remediation and teaching children to self-advocate for their accommodations. [44:29] - Honest conversations can help kids avoid developing inaccurate, damaging narratives about struggles. [45:48] - Amy reframes nonstandard brains as strengths that offer unique ways of seeing the world. [47:02] - What is the best way to get in touch with Amy Cushner?

Kim Kardashian has launched a defamation lawsuit against Ray J over his assertions that she and Kris Jenner are under federal investigation for racketeering—a claim her team strongly denies and calls entirely baseless. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dug deep into four headline-making stories: Kim Kardashian has launched a defamation lawsuit against Ray J over his assertions that she and Kris Jenner are under federal investigation for racketeering—a claim her team strongly denies and calls entirely baseless. Meanwhile, media mogul Cathy Hughes celebrated 45 years of building Urban One from her radio-station roots into a powerhouse reaching over 80% of Black households. In a lighter, yet equally compelling segment, legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis joined the show to reflect on their multi-decade careers shaping R&B and pop, teasing projects and sharing studio stories most fans haven’t heard. And on the national front, President Trump has formally declared a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, justifying recent lethal strikes on alleged narco-vessels in the Caribbean under the law of armed conflict.

The Intrinsic Philosophy of Change Change from Within: We believe that the most enduring and meaningful transformations arise from the people most impacted—those who live within the system and carry its deepest insights. Embedded Transformation: Change is not an external imposition. It becomes intrinsic—woven into the identity of the individual, group, or organization. It's not just what they do differently; it's who they become. Unlocking Capacity: Our role is to help unlock the door to internal wisdom. When systems are open and safe enough to explore their own truths, remarkable growth becomes possible. Inside-Outside Strategy: This approach may take more time, but it yields outcomes that are more just, more fair, and more permanent. It's not about quick fixes—it's about cultivating sustainable evolution. Collaborative Discovery: We don't bring answers—we help uncover them. Our work is grounded in trust, curiosity, and the belief that every system holds the seeds of its own renewal.

Here's how to initiate more intimacy, affection and erotic connection. Initiating can be vulnerable, scary and intimidating – but it doesn't have to be. The more you practice, the easier it gets and you can create a culture in your relationship where you can fearlessly initiate, respond authentically and together create more of the kinds […]

Aug. 11 (12:30 AM PDT) at 4º14' Leo. Mercury began its retrograde period on July 17, 2025, at 15°34' Leo. While communication and travel may start to smooth out now, it's probably a good idea not to let your guard completely down just yet. Mercury also rules merchants and trade, so this can be a day when something shifts in your business or financial matters. Mercury turns direct on the Sabian symbol 5 Leo, Rock formations at the edge of a precipice. [3:51] Saturn sextiles Uranus on Mon. Aug. 11 (8:33 PM PDT) at 1º12' Aries-Gemini. This is the second of three sextiles that Saturn will make to Uranus. The first was back on April 4, 2025, and the final one in the series comes on Jan. 19, 2026. Saturn is a rule maker, Uranus a rule breaker. Uranus presents an opportunity for liberation. [5:52] Venus conjuncts Jupiter on Mon. Aug. 11 (10:30 PM PDT) at 14º03' Cancer. Jupiter is exalted (especially strong) in Cancer, and the Sabian symbol for this degree couldn't be more perfect: 15 Cancer, A group of people who have over eaten and enjoyed it. [7:55] This week, Mercury will make two separate sextile aspects to Mars. The first is on Thu. Aug. 14 (7:05 PM PDT) at 5º05' Leo-Libra. Energetic Mars has your mind working overtime. Watch out for arguments. [10:53] The second Mercury-Mars sextile Mars is on Sunday, Aug. 17 (10:33 PM PDT) at 7º04' Leo-Libra. Mind your words, channel any anger or frustration constructively. These Mercury-Mars sextiles bring sharp, energized, focused communication. [11:58] Moon Report! The Taurus Last Quarter Moon is on Fri. Aug. 15 (10:12 PM PDT) at 23º36' Taurus-Leo. It's the last action point following the Leo New Moon on July 24, 2025. This is a terrific Last Quarter Moon to take concrete steps toward your goals. Take stock, focus on what matters, and use this time to bring something meaningful into reality. [14:10] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the Last Quarter (final action point) in an LPFC that began on May 19, 2023, at 28º25' Taurus. The First Quarter (first action point) in this LPFC came on February 16, 2024, at 27º25' Taurus. The Full Moon (awareness point) in this LPFC was on Nov. 15, 2024, at 24º00' Taurus. This is the time to bring this LPFC to completion and place it into context. [16:22] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The first VOC Moon period began last week on Sun. Aug. 10 (11:55 PM PDT), when the Moon made a trine to Jupiter and was VOC for 1 day, 3 hours and 38 minutes. It enters Aries this week on Tue. Aug. 12 (3:33 AM PDT). This is an emotionally healing time. Initiate a habit of expressing kindness and nourishment to all, and that includes yourself. [17:33] On Wed. Aug. 13 (3:54 PM PDT), the Moon in Aries trines the Sun. It's VOC for 14 hours, 28 minutes, and enters Taurus on Aug. 14 (6:22 AM PDT). Initiate a habit of practicing gratitude just for being alive on the planet. [18:37] On Fri. Aug. 15 (10:12 PM PDT), the Moon in Taurus squares the Sun. It's VOC for 10 hours and 49 minutes, then enters Gemini on Aug. 16 (9:01 AM PDT).

It's time for Ask Rachel on the show! In today's episode, Rachel takes four beautiful questions from listeners - and each one followed themes of how to move forward, how to anchor into what is happening now, and how to accept change. One listener asked about the farm store, how to get started on doing something similar, and what the timeline should be. Another listener asked how to get out of a slump when you feel stuck. Then the conversation shifted into deeper topics, such as how to transition from early, new love into long-term partnership and the scary decision to shed an old identity and move forward with something new. It's a meaningful episode that will remind you that life happens in seasons and you're always on the right track as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other.
