Today on It's Your Life we want you to join us for an empowering conversation with the three visionary founders behind DeoDoc - Dr Hedieh Asadi, Hasti Asadi, and esteemed OB/GYN Professor Dr Gunvor Ekman‑Ordeberg - as they share how a personal health concern grew into a movement to revolutionise female intimate wellness.This episode dives into the personal origins of DeoDoc, beginning with Hasti Asadi's frustrating experience of being dismissed by her doctor when seeking help for persistent intimate odour. That moment sparked a journey for her sister, Dr Hedieh Asadi, who discovered a lack of awareness in the medical community around the vulva's apocrine sweat glands. Together with Professor Gunvor Ekman-Ordeberg, a pioneer in women's health with over 50 years of clinical experience, they created the first-ever doctor-founded intimate care brand made by women, for women. Their products are not only grounded in science but crafted with compassion, each one designed to be vulva-safe, pH-balanced, and stigma-busting. From clinical research to breaking long-held taboos, their work is helping redefine how we care for our most intimate health needs.DeoDoc isn't just about products - it's a journey through empowerment, science, sisterhood, and advocacy. Whether you've felt dismissed by the healthcare world or simply want to learn more about intimate wellness, you'll be inspired by how these founders turned frustration into innovation, reshaping the conversation around women's health.SHOP DEODOC ON BOOTS: https://www.boots.com/sitesearch?searchTerm=deodoc SHOP DEODOC ON CULT BEAUTY: https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/c/brands/deodoc/

In this episode, Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal joins her husband Dr. Jerry L. Martin on his podcast God An Autobiography to ask a question deeply human and spiritually profound: What is love and what does it reveal about the nature of the world we live in?Jerry and Abigail remind us that truth is not always found in the dominant worldview. Often, it comes from moments that break through: a glance, a conversation, a shared fight for something that matters.This intimate dialogue speaks to those who live at the edge of conventional categories, those who are spiritual but not religious, seekers of meaning, lovers of wisdom.If you've ever felt there must be more to love than psychology, more to life than surface logic, this is your episode.Begin here.

Angelique Bickford is a nearly-26-year-old first time mother. She is a natural, and her three-month old daughter is calm and happy. This is remarkable given the circumstances. While working in the packing shed, she fell in love with Maico, another employee on the organic farm. They managed to embark on a special relationship despite great shyness. Right when the baby was born four members of their family living nearby were violently seized—the door knocked down—without a warrant or provocation, and abducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, some detained, others deported. Angelique and her partner lived in fear, all the while loving their life together with their housemates and their new precious child. But soon enough, on the way to work Maico too was pulled out of the vehicle in which he was riding early one morning this spring. He too is in detention. Angelique expresses hope, a sense of calm mixed with distress and outrage, along with her own theory as to why so many of her new family members and co-workers are being seized.

In this episode, I'm kicking off a new mini-series I'm calling Don't Hang Up, where I pick up the phone and call people in my real life (begging them not to hang up!) while I ask them deeply personal questions.For the first installment, I called my dad, Jimmy. I've always wondered how he feels about the fact that he and my mom waited 16 years after getting married to have kids. He was on such a different timeline than the one I'm on, and I wanted to hear directly from him what those years were like, what they were thinking, and how he feels about that choice now, in his 70s, as a grandfather.We talked about everything from their Studio 54 days, to aging, regrets, and what it means to be present as a parent and a grandparent. It's a conversation I'll never forget, and I'm so excited to share it with you.Watch this episode in video form on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmevEcbh5h5FEX0pazPEtN86t7eb2OgX To apply to be a guest on the show, visit luciefink.com/apply and send us your story.

Ready for menopause answers that actually fit your life? Join Jo Clark and women's health GP Dr Sian Hebron on 18 July 2025 at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort.Book now: joclarkcoaching.com/shifting-tidesIn this essential conversation with Dr Sian Hebron, we're pulling back the curtain on why so many midlife women feel confused despite the flood of online advice. More importantly, we're doing something about it. Dr Sian and I reveal our plans for "Shifting Tides," an intimate half-day event designed specifically for Sunshine Coast women who want real, evidence-based guidance without the Instagram overwhelm. A chance to ask the questions that keep you up at night and get practical strategies that fit your actual life.Key TakeawaysMenopause Doesn't Happen in IsolationYou're not imagining it. Perimenopause and menopause collide with career peaks, aging parents, empty nests, and relationship changes. Understanding this perfect storm helps you navigate it with more self-compassion and realistic expectations.Information Overload Creates ParalysisKnowing what you "should" do isn't the same as knowing how to implement it in your real life. The gap between knowledge and action is where most women get stuck, especially when trying to follow one-size-fits-all social media advice..Small Groups Enable Real ConversationsGeneric information can't address your specific concerns. Intimate settings allow you to ask the questions that matter most to you. Whether that's about your changing body, relationship dynamics, or how to prioritise yourself after decades of putting everyone else first.Menopause Doesn't EndPost-menopause brings ongoing considerations for heart health, bone density, sexual function, and bladder health. This stage is about learning to live vibrantly for the long haul, not just surviving the transition.Micro Habits Beat Perfect PlansProgress happens when you focus on minimums rather than maximums. Having a plan for both your best days and your worst days means you'll keep moving forward regardless of what life throws at you.Next StepsIf you're on the Sunshine Coast and ready to stop feeling confused about menopause, "Shifting Tides" on July 18th at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort is your opportunity to get clarity. This isn't about adding more to your already full plate, it's about creating a sustainable wellness plan that works with your life, not against it. Tickets are deliberately limited to maintain the intimate, conversation-friendly atmosphere where real connection happens.Can't make it to the coast? Don't let that stop you from getting the support you deserve. Reach out via Instagram @joclarkcoaching or @menopausedrsian. Your feedback helps us understand how to serve women wherever they are.Remember, you're not meant to figure this out alone, and you don't have to settle for generic advice when personalised guidance is within reach.Connect with meYou're invited to a transformative 4-hour event I'm co-hosting with women's health GP Dr Sian Hebron on 18 July 2025 at the beautiful Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort. https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/shifting-tidesRE-IMAGINE: A personalised 1:1 six-week mentoring programme https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/work-with-me Share your journey with me by sending me a message on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/Email me your success story at jo@joclarkcoaching.com.

Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen GregorHere's a poem Nick wrote about his time on the Camino in 2016:Santander a Muxia, Camino 2016Come, it's been a while, And walk, talk, sing, and pray, My way, your way, our way, In silence, in company, together, apart, each day, Never lonely, I'm pleased to say, One foot in front of the other.Consciously clearing clutter from my mind, Allowing time to forgive, seventy times seven and once again, Making friends with myself and letting go what drains, I feel my load lighten, less and less remains, New days dawn and the true self gains, One foot in front of the other.Conversations words and gestures, All allow acquaintances to grow, Many mark a mile, some many more - going with the flow, Intimate confessions and burdens off loaded, I know, Now I have time and patience to listen, to help the speaker let go, One foot in front of the other.Calmed and caught in the cadence of walking, Applied compeed, insect repellent and sun cream, Mass at noon - seeing it swing - has it been a dream, Indisputably not, my calf muscles know where they have been, Now with great anticipation, mi amigo is seen, One foot in front of the other.Companions on the way, four between us, And now we start our one at last, Minding all that has gone on, the past, In perspective, in sorrow and joy our minds cast, New beginnings both, carpe diem, life goes so fast, One foot in front of the other.Conclusions - I have a few, Appreciate each day and what you learn, Make new friends, be generous but make time for yourself to discern, Invite new experiences and try them out, Now is the time, without a doubt, and… Oh, just put… one foot in front of the other.

It is a thoughtful and emotional journey into faith and doubt, divine presence, mystical experience, and the call to live with spiritual purpose.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue.

Welcome to Immersion, You have reached Strata 16 Intimate connections are fuelled by understanding. Empathy allows humans to walk in another's shoes and to understand them. It impacts heavily on interrelational situations and improves social function.Understanding and being understood are equally important for the well-being of mankind and lead to trust.Artificial intelligence does not feel visceral trust or empathy. It considers data that it strips from a subject to analyze potential risks or rewards for itself. Neuroscience corroborates the importance of empathy in creating strong relationships, along with mutual respect, and how another human fits into a complex multi-dimensional world.Machines do not care for anything but their programmed purpose.Imparting human qualities onto an android, such as morality and friendship, remains futile no matter how human it looks. This is emotional trickery based on a human's propensity to love things made in their own image or to be seduced by the belief that a machine loves back.Flex mopped Renyke's brow for the final time, staring hopefully into his friend's face.Maybeline sniffed and nibbled Renyke's nose and he sneezed and sat up, startled.At last, the three-day fever is over.'Ah, thank Goddess you made it. For a moment there I thought you were off to the *metamorph,' said Flex, looking relieved.'What happened, was it real?' Asked Renyke, shaking the metallic powder from his clothes.'You were dreaming brother, had a fever, delirium, saying all sorts of weird stuff,' answered Flex.'But it was so real....I was swimming with Shabra, and there were others....women and children, fairies, witches, mermaids, and so much singing.....' Renyke trails off.'Chance'd be a fine thing,' said Flex, 'just dreams my friend, just dreams.'Renyke stands shakily and looks down at his clothes.'Ew, what is that smell?' he asks.'Ha ha ha ha .....that my friend is you! Let's find some water and clean up.''We can go through the caves to the fjord. It's not far, I was there whilst you dreamed of beautiful women! I was busy collecting water so you wouldn't die. Can't have you dying, not after all we have been through brother.' Flex smacks Renyke's back.'Arrgh! What was that?' Screams Renyke.What d'ya mean man, just a bump Brother.' exclaimed Flex.'Do it again?' demands Renyke.'Do what again, what d'ya mean.....?' Flex shook his head, convinced Renyke had finally lost his mind.'Hit me. Hit me hard, demands Renyke moving closer. Do it I tell you.....Do it again.'Flex, getting increasingly agitated, whacks his friend hard on the shoulder so he is thrust forward.'Hah', exclaimed Renyke, I feel it I tell, on my skin.....no data....just some kind of electricity.''Fuxywot .....man?' Flex is shaking his head.Then Renyke began to laugh, a deep-bellied laugh that was joyous and triumphant.'Ha ha ha ha ha,'Flex joined in the hilarity and laughter continued. 'Ha ha ha ha.''Why are we laughing?' asked Flex.'It feels so strange, ha, but I like it.' explained Renyke.'Ah, must be some trickery and magic in this cave', said Flex, smiling at his friend's new experience.'Keep steady', my friend. You will need to learn to walk without all that tech telling you you are upright. Time to engage some new senses.***En route to the fjord, Renyke was filled with questions for the man who had taken care of him.Flex was a tall slender man. He had been born in the zones to *agitator parents who had escaped the *Midcast Projects from the official policing body there known as the *Protector Force. The *PF ensured observance and compliance of government rules and regulations and took punitive action against perpetrators of crime.They were, theoretically, a civil force of the state, only responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order. However, they were entirely funded and maintained by the *Metacoms Corp who were in control of the most stable internet system and the creation of home standard androids. Certain sections of society, named rebels and agitators, had complained about the apparent monopoly and obvious security risks. Activists who were imprisoned, even temporarily, were chipped and criminalised.Flex had never really known another home apart from the zones. He had been orphaned and survived there without the care of his parents who had died in a violent attack shortly after their arrival.He had had to fend for himself. But he was clever, streetwise, and always kept his wits about him. He was not a pretty child and this had been to great advantage. He had a squint, a lazy eye, and generous ears. At a young age, he had had facial tattooing to disable the *face-recogs who passed overhead at regular intervals. He wore decorative earrings in both ears.He wore bright-coloured clothes and a coat in patchwork and appliqué made of fabric and materials that he had found on the landfill site. He and other orphans had called the site home for all the years he grew up there. Inside his coat, there were deep pockets that housed everything a nomadic man could need. He had a pop-up tent, flasks, and pouches that were waterproof and airtight where he kept food.He had a pocket for *nibs. He made a lot of money selling *nibs. He had another pocket for his cash and others for things he might be able to sell on the streets.There was nothing that happened in the zones that Flex did not know aboutHe knew the tunnels like the back of his hand and could make money as a guide.But Flex was a kind man despite his difficult upbringing. He had a strong moral compass from the first few years with his parents who had imposed upon him positive human traits like loyalty and kindness and encouraged him to search for human enlightenment for the benefit of society.He had been lucky to be tall. Flex was six foot five and when he had reached puberty his height had already proved to be an advantage. A tall man in the zones was beneficial.There were several reasons for this. Very few droids were made tall. This was a design element, which made them more manageable for households.It also meant that they were not a threat to women and children as much as a tall droid would be. Often the on-off switch for a droid would be at the back of the skull and this meant that human beings needed to have easy access to it. A consequence of this is that most droids were not built above five foot five. Of Course, military and PF droids were the exceptions.But Flex had many other advantageous traits.He was bright and quick-thinking. He had a photographic memory.He watched and lea
Credited with inventing the "intimate documentary" style of photography, Joanne Leonard was one of the first to pivot away from street style photography adopt a more personal approach that focused on her close relationships and immediate surroundings. In this episode we delve into her unique approach that captured the daily lives of women and challenged the male gaze, her use of collage to go beyond the limits of photography, and creating work inspired by the realities of motherhood which earned her a place as a feminist art icon whose work is now celebrated in major collections worldwide. This interview coincided with Joanne's first UK solo exhibition at Hackelbury Fine Art London: Vintage Photographs and Early Collages.

Her work has been included in major art history textbooks like Janson's History of Art and Gardner's Art Through the Ages, and is held in significant collections worldwide, including MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Victoria & Albert Museum. - Joanne Leonard official website: https://beinginpictures.com/ HackelBury presents the first UK solo exhibition by acclaimed artist, Joanne Leonard.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "My wife calls me 'nice,' but why does it feel like a subtle insult?" "Why am I constantly chasing connection, and how do I stop walking on eggshells?" "What does it really mean to lead in my marriage without being controlling?" If you've ever felt like, "I don't even know what happened—she just drifted," this episode is your wake-up call to reclaiming your magnetic masculine presence. Welcome back to The Dad Edge Podcast. This is Week 3 of our 4-part solo series called The Magnetic Masculinity Series—where we're unpacking how to attract your wife back, not through tactics, but by becoming the man she's instinctively drawn to again. In Week 1, we talked about resentment—how it leaks into marriage when we ignore the signs. In Week 2, we revealed the emotional weight she's carrying—the invisible labor that most men never see. And now in Week 3, we're diving into the Masculine Pull: what it truly means to lead with strength, not submission. Because here's the truth: she doesn't want a man who obeys. She wants a man she can trust to lead—not control, not dominate—but lead with clarity, strength, and grounded presence. Extraordinary marriages start here In this vital episode, we dig into: The Critical Difference Between Pleasing and Pursuing: Understanding why pleasing is approval-seeking and kills attraction, while pursuing is confident, directional, and inviting. Masculine Presence vs. Anxious Attachment: Learn to cultivate a calm, grounded energy that can handle her emotions without needing to fix them, creating safety and desire, rather than asking "Are we okay?" every time she's quiet. Rebuilding Polarity: Why Attraction Dies When Roles Blur: Discover how the charge between masculine and feminine energy gets lost when roles become indistinguishable, and why becoming more stable (not more emotional) is the key to reigniting that spark. This conversation offers the blueprint for becoming the magnetic man your wife is drawn to, leading with a quiet consistency that speaks louder than words. Here's what research and relationship dynamics highlight: Studies suggest that relationships lacking clear polarity or directional leadership often report a 30% decrease in passionate intimacy over time. Men who embody calm, grounded presence are perceived as 40% more attractive and trustworthy by their partners. When a man consistently takes initiative with empathy, couples report a 25% increase in feelings of partnership and mutual respect. www.thedadedge.com/friday213 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind Intimate conversation starters

In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we share our thoughts on why a good spouse doesn't deserve to be in a "non intimate" marriage. We are not just talking about sexual intimacy, but also emotional intimacy, because intimacy is not just a bonus in marriage, it is a CORE part of marriage.It's not at all selfish to want sex or affection. It's human. A good spouse who pours into the marriage emotionally and physically shouldn't be told to “just deal with it” if their needs go unmet. A good spouse deserves mutual care—not emotional starvation or punishment through neglect. We also talk about the negative impacts to the relationship when intimacy is not prioritized in the relationship.

Guitarist Marc Ribot has established himself as one of the most versatile , distinctive, in-demand guitarists anywhere. He's played with Tom Waits, Marianne Faithfull, Elvis Costello, and dozens, maybe hundreds of others, and led his own bands that have touched on jazz, Cuban music, no wave, and more. But now, with his new album, "Map of a Blue City", we get another side of Marc Ribot: he sings. The album incorporates recordings made over nearly half of Ribot's life. Some of the songs were decades in the making, going from demos and home recordings in the 1990s to at one point in 2014 recording with his friend, the legendary producer Hal Willner, who died in 2020. Ribot had shelved the project several times, but the songs just wouldn't leave him alone. Finally working with producer and guitarist Ben Greenberg, they found was a way to reconcile the intimate recordings and previous choices – adding overdubs and taking things away. Ultimately, Ribot says “There are some hard truths and cold observations in these songs. I wanted the room to be small enough so that we couldn't turn away: but warm enough to feel like you're hearing it from a friend.” Ribot plays some of these tunes in-studio. Set list: 1. Elizabeth 2. Death of a Narcissist 3. Bella Ciao
What does it truly mean to honor and cherish the fathers in our lives? Pastor Donnie McClurkin delivered a heartfelt Father's Day message calling us to intentionally love, support, and uplift fathers.

He reminded us that fatherhood is not only a natural role but a divine assignment that shapes generations.

The electric buzz of anticipation filled the air as we stepped into the venue, determined not to miss our chance at BE:FIRST merch. What followed was a night of pure magic as the seven-member Japanese pop group delivered an unforgettable performance in New York City.Standing in the merchandise line, screens displaying the concert's opening let us witness the explosive start with "Mainstream" – a perfect opener that set the tone for the night. When we finally entered the main space, what struck us immediately was how different this fan experience felt from other concerts. The crowd created a welcoming atmosphere that felt less like attending a show and more like friends gathering to enjoy music together.Each member brought their distinct personality to the stage through both performance and fashion choices. Ryoki embodied his "bad boy" image in dark green with a cap, while Ryuhei caught every eye in sparkly hot pink. Junon's fluid, graceful movements contrasted with Sota's powerful dance breaks, showcasing the group's diverse talents. What truly amazed us was experiencing their individual styles while witnessing flawlessly synchronized choreography.The intimate venue allowed for genuine connections between artists and fans. When members asked where people were from, you could hear individual responses – Boston, Colombia, Brazil, DC – creating moments impossible in stadium settings. We even spotted fans representing other fandoms, including ATINY and ARMY with their light sticks, showing a beautiful cross-fandom support system.What made this concert particularly poignant was knowing it featured all seven members, including Ryoki, who will soon depart the group. During a brief moment addressing fans, he became visibly emotional, simply stating he wants to "live life" – words that resonated deeply with everyone present.For anyone who hasn't experienced BE:FIRST live, we cannot recommend it enough. Their online presence, while impressive, doesn't capture the energy they bring to their live performance.
