This week on Inspire Change, Gunter reflects on his previous conversation with Professor Greg Downey, exploring the complexities of masculinity through an anthropological lens. He emphasizes that masculinity is a practice shaped by societal systems, rather than a fixed essence. The discussion highlights the dangers of toxic ideologies and the importance of emotional health and community. Gunter provides practical reflections on how individuals can embody healthier masculinity in their daily lives, focusing on the body, relationships, and the wider social context. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and practice small, meaningful changes in their behavior.TakeawaysMasculinity is embodied and relational, not a fixed essence.Toxic ideologies can anesthetize men's pain rather than heal it.Masculinity is shaped by systems, not just individual actions.Cultural narratives about masculinity influence our behaviors.Practicing awareness of our bodies can reveal ingrained habits.Emotional responsiveness is key in relationships.Social media can amplify toxic narratives about masculinity.Self-reflection helps in recognizing internalized patriarchal values.Values should guide our actions, not societal expectations.Change in masculinity comes from small, consistent actions.Keywordsmasculinity, toxic ideologies, emotional health, community, anthropology, personal growth, relationships, social media, patriarchy, self-awarenessMid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

treatsure is an imaginative startup on a mission to turn surplus food into everyday treasure. Founded in 2017 after its co-founder witnessed perfectly good food being discarded at home, treatsure was created to reimagine how society approaches food waste. Believing that technology can unlock smarter, more sustainable consumption, the team launched Singapore’s first mobile platform that connects businesses with surplus or expiring food to consumers who can enjoy them at a value. In 2018, treatsure introduced the region’s first buffet-in-a-box concept, allowing users to visit participating hotels and restaurants, purchase a box through the app, and handpick food directly from buffet lines, giving new life to food that would otherwise go to waste. On The Right Business, Nadiah Koh speaks with Preston Wong, CEO and Co-Founder of treatsure to find out how they’re flipping the script by letting you rescue quality food and save money at the same time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Thanksgiving week and I know this season upon which we enter is a sacred one. While we want to fill our buckets up with gratitude, peace, and joy, it's easy to be overrun with busy-ness, chaos, angst, stress, and overwhelm. As we head into Thanksgiving week and the holiday season, I wanted to slow things down…take a deep breath… and talk about two of the most powerful forces we have in our lives: Gratitude and Grace. If you want to feel more joy, more peace, more purpose and even more love, gratitude and grace are the gateway. Today, I want to share 7 things I'm especially grateful for this Thanksgiving and then I want to talk about how grace shows up—even in the imperfect, messy, beautiful parts of our lives. Let's dive in now: I'm particularly GRATEFUL for: Family. Pumped to be heading to South Carolina to celebrate Thanksgiving in the Carolina's.

Sounds strange but I'm grateful for the struggles and pain as it got me to where I'm at today. And I've learned to be grateful in the 'hard seasons.' My Life's Work—Coaching, Inspiring, & Leading people to be THEIR best. I'm grateful for the calling on my life to coach, motivate, teach, and transform lives. Friends & the IMPACT Community. I'm grateful for the people who inspire me, challenge me, stretch me, and support me. And people just like you listening to the podcast or reading the Shownotes or even one of my books. Thank you. We have one heckuva Community and I'm grateful for you. Opportunity & Possibility. I'm grateful for the open doors, the new projects, the ideas, the creativity, the energy that flows when you're aligned with your purpose. Faith…it has carried me through the highest mountains and the lowest valleys. Additionally, I share the difference between GRATITUDE and GRACE and define what GRACE really is. This Thanksgiving, I pray that you not only feel gratitude… but that you extend grace—to others, and to yourself. Here is your Thanksgiving Challenge This week, take 5 minutes each morning and write down: 3 things you're grateful for 1 person you want to extend grace toward CLOSING PRAYER God, thank You for the blessings in our lives—seen and unseen, big and small.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with acclaimed pianist and composer, Chloe Flower. Born in Pennsylvania, Chloe began playing piano at age two, later studying at the Manhattan School of Music Pre-College and London's Royal Academy of Music. A classically trained pianist turned genre-bender, she calls her unique style “popsical” (a fusion of classical, pop, and hip-hop). She has collaborated with major artists like Céline Dion, Babyface, Nas, and Cardi B (whose 2019 Grammy performance she helped elevate). Beyond music, Chloe is a passionate advocate for music education and anti-human trafficking efforts.In this episode, Ari and Chloe dive into her artistic journey. They discuss everything from rigorous classical training to creating a hybrid genre that seemed nonexistent before her. Chloe explains how she navigates the music business, and the lessons she's learned from bridging two very distinct worlds. Ari and Chloe talk about label strategy, collaboration with big-name artists and producers, and maintaining authenticity while scaling. Chloe shares her approach to building a personal brand (both musically and visually), her perspective on empowering women in the industry, and how she sees the future of genre-fluid music and education. https://www.instagram.com/misschloeflower05:00 – The Holiday Album and Women Composers10:30 – Understanding Public Domain and Classical Music Rights15:45 – YouTube Covers, Metadata, and Going Independent19:00 – Meeting Babyface and Blending Genres25:00 – The Viral Grammy Performance with Cardi B29:30 – Evolving Sound and the Role of Collaboration33:00 – Running an Independent Label and Revenue Streams36:00 – Pros and Cons of Major vs. Indie Labels47:00 – Music Education and Inspiring the Next Generation54:00 – Performing with Orchestras and ConductorsEdited and mixed by Peter SchruppMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

This episode is an invitation into the kind of womanhood most of us were never shown how to grow into. The woman who is soft without collapsing, powerful without hardening, and deeply connected to the wisdom God wove into her body, her lineage, and her love life. You'll step into the world of feminine maturity — the kind that rewrites patterns, restores emotional safety, and calls in a love that feels honest, holy, and deeply human.This is where womb intelligence meets relational healing. Where old beliefs unclench. Where your softness becomes strength. Where your body becomes a sanctuary again.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why nurturing your womb is essential for emotional balance, physical well-being, and deeper self-connection.• How to identify and unlearn limiting relationship beliefs that block intimacy and healthy love.• The role of vulnerability and emotional safety in creating deeper communication with your partner.• Practical ways to reconnect with your womb and invite more peace, clarity, and softness into your life.• How your relationship with God influences your femininity, your identity, and how you relate to men.Golden Nuggets From This Episode:✨ “She went the extra mile to reach out, and that simple act touched my heart in a way I'll never forget.”Small gestures can carry profound emotional impact. When someone reaches out with genuine care, it reminds you that love often lives in the simplest moments of connection.✨ “Exploring polarity taught me a lot, but I realized it can sometimes feel flat and one-dimensional.”Polarity can be exciting, but without emotional depth and authenticity, it can become limiting. True connection requires more than roles — it needs real presence and truth.✨ “Everything in my life shifted the moment I finally released that limiting belief.”✨ “My womb became the central piece of my evolution — the epicenter of my transformation.”✨ “Our cycle is a mirror of our physical health and our relational well-being.”Your menstrual cycle reflects more than biology — it shows emotional patterns, stress levels, and relational harmony. Paying attention to it helps you understand your inner world.✨ “The womb holds the blueprint of feminine creational coding.”✨ “The cervix, heart, and throat move together through one powerful energetic pathway.”✨ “The most impactful feminine communication comes from being deeply feelable.”Feminine expression is strongest when it's authentic and embodied. When you allow your emotions to be felt, you create intimacy and connection without force.✨ “Healing one relationship can recalibrate your entire inner world.”Every relationship is a mirror. When you repair or transform one connection — even with yourself — it shifts your patterns, your energy, and the way you love everywhere else.Connect More with :IG: juliet__tangWebsite: https://juliettang.mykajabi.com/feminine-codexMore Lexy from Heart Snuggles:Soft Girl Season {Instant Access Course}: https://alive-to-enjoy.circle.so/checkout/soft-girl-seasonEmail: lexy@alivetoenjoy.comDating + Relationship Coaching - https://iamlexydavis.com/Instagram: Alivetoenjoy & Heart SnugglesTimestamps from episode:01:07 - Meet Juliet: Midwifing Women01:50 - Acts of Kindness: Support in Grief02:59 - Unlearning Relationship Beliefs07:06 - The Journey into Womb Work12:21 - Connecting with the Womb18:46 - The Womb as a Central Organ21:22 - Embodiment and Relationships27:03 - Navigating Triggers in Relationships30:52 - Soft Girl Season Ad30:56 - Effective Feminine Communication38:03 - Inspiring the Masculine47:54 - The Spiral of Consciousness

Join Sandra for a profound and surprisingly uplifting conversation with Victor M. Sweeney, who CNBC calls "the internet's favorite mortician." You may know him from his viral WIRED videos (with nearly 50 million views) where he compassionately answers questions about death. As a small-town funeral director and author of the new book "Now Departing," Victor walks in the world between the living and the dead every single day. He joins Sandra to discuss how this "privileged view" has shaped his practical, yet deeply spiritual, understanding of the afterlife. He describes himself as a natural skeptic but shares the undeniable experiences—like sun breaking through the clouds at the exact moment of a burial—that have convinced him "it's all real." Victor shares his powerful "origin story" of finding his best friend deceased at age three, and the more recent, devastating loss of his second best friend, Alex, to suicide. He tells a stunning  story of the sign he received from Alex immediately after the funeral—a specific, goofy hat that proves, as Victor says, "there are no coincidences." This is a moving conversation that explores the sacred importance of the physical body in grieving, the separation of body and soul, and how openly facing death can help us all "see life a little more brightly."
