In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down on Social Currency for a wide-ranging interview on 20 years of creating content. We get into why social media is dead and interest media is the new reality, why quantity isn't debatable, and the "and not or" doctrine I keep coming back to with AI and IRL. I share how staying in my lane builds confidence on camera, why technology is undefeated and you can't squeeze the tomato through the internet, the 15/85 system that's running my career right now, and why analog businesses are the 1965 play of 2036.You'll learn about:• Why Social Media Is Dead and Interest Media Is Winning• Why Confidence Comes From Staying In Your Lane• Quantity vs. Quality (And Why Quantity Isn't Debatable)• The And-Not-Or Doctrine for AI + IRL• Why Technology Is Undefeated• The 15/85 Operating System• Why Analog Businesses Are the 1965 Play of 2036• Brands as Media Companies First

In this IRL episode I talked to people outside of a McDonalds and then got kicked out of the McDonalds and accidentally ended up at a pride parade. I talked to an aspiring pilot, a lady living out of her car, learned about why the moon landing was fake, and a lot of other fun stuff. I love going outside. Speak now or forever hold your peace. I am a gecko.

Lured Up Podcast 398: Be Present, Not Perfect Live Streamed on - 6/25/2026 Publish Date - 6/26/2026 First off we wanted to share a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who wrote in, shared feedback, and offered support after last week's episode! It is truly amazing to see the community come together and rally around each other. It means the world to us and we are proud to be a part of this incredible scene. We follow up on last week's topic, share some feedback, and look at the practice of being present, not perfect. It's a powerful sentiment and absolutely has parallels to Pokémon GO. In the gameplay space, it is all about IRL gameplay. With 6 new City Safari events being announced, the community will have a lot of opportunity to come together to celebrate the game. Adam and I will be attending the Boston City Safari, and we hope to have the opportunity to play along side of you! More info to come on our plans and what we have in store for the Chicago locals and inbound Trainers. We touch on our Frigibax Community Day experiences and look forward to Skarmory Super Mega Raid Day, two events that are better when played with the community. From Community Day's non stop gameplay to the volume and demand that Super Mega Raid Days present, we encourage everyone to get out to experience this game with others. We also look at how the Giovanni mechanic has changed and no longer arrives via balloon. This forces Trainers to get out there to track him down, adding difficulty, immersion, and some commitment to the process.While some Trainers and creators online hate everything about this change, we are all about it, as it encourages the exploration element of the game, and makes the hunt unique.

As a woman who deeply cares about women's rights, I am obsessed with a show that is totally problematic. America's Sweethearts Season 3 just dropped on Netflix. I grabbed fellow DCC-obsessed Mara Davis, an Atlanta radio legend who has been watching the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders since the 1970s, sat through all 17 seasons on CMT, and has opinions about every single cheerleader, judge, and PR move in that building. We get into Reece's early retirement and the trad wife speculation swirling on Reddit, Faith's breakout season and the ponytail situation, whether the coordinated cheerleader solidarity online is real or engineered, what Kelli's exit meeting with Faith reveals about leadership under serious pressure, and why two feminists who probably shouldn't love this show absolutely cannot stop watching it.  Timestamps: 00:00 Why Allison is obsessed with a show she admits is totally problematic 02:35 Mara's DCC origin story: 17 seasons of CMT and what changed when Netflix arrived 05:10 The arc of all three seasons: severely underpaid athletes, pay equity fight, social media scrutiny 06:45 Mara's feminist paradox: "It doesn't make sense that I love this show so much" 08:36 Reece: the darling who appeared in all three seasons and why her early exit is more complicated than an injury 11:13 Reece's husband, the trad wife speculation, and what Reddit has been saying 14:44 Faith as the Season 3 breakout: "You cannot take your eyes off that girl" 15:31 The moment that made Mara fully Team Kelli: the exit meeting and what Kelli said to Faith 16:43 Kelli's "re-earn my trust," Victoria from Season 1, and whether the cheerleader solidarity online is coordinated 21:53 "It's Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. It's not Victoria. It's just not." 23:00 Kelli watches back every season and critiques her own leadership 23:18 Mara: "I want her to run the country." 26:13 What Season 3 may have hidden about body image and why seven episodes isn't enough 33:13 Mara used to judge Atlanta Falcons cheerleader auditions 35:31 Why the DCC sisterhood is actually one of the most feminist things on television 37:20 Who would replace Kelli and Judy if they ever retired? 38:37 Glow-ups, ageism, and how people talk about women over 60 online 40:28 Season 4 is confirmed and we already know who's back at training camp 43:09 Dayton and Dayton's mom 44:32 Judy Trammell choreographed Thunderstruck and the music licensing conversation Resources and Links Mentioned Mara Davis on Instagram: https://instagram.com/maradavis2000 "Be There in Five" podcast by Kate Kennedy (Victoria's appearance on this episode is discussed): https://open.spotify.com/episode/2brpAlYGUffbYekHU1PqMR?si=f3d45a467f444032 Book a free podcast strategy call: allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

This week on Anime Pulse we got Discord bans, Seven Deadly Golfers, and how to torture the podcast hosts. Up first IRL news has Andrew back from his brief trip, and Joseph has begun his lawn mowing Unc arc. Then in the industry news, Hololive will be returning to the baseball field. Finally the reviews come fast with Joseph waking up with boobs, OP powers, and terribly obvious villains. Andrew however is on more familiar grounds, hitting those birdies and being trained by a baddie.

In this episode of the Raising Wild Hearts Happier Series, I sit down with Deb Porter, creator of Hearing Out Life Drama, to explore one of the most overlooked ingredients of wellbeing: feeling truly heard.Deb is a professional listener who believes many of us are carrying thoughts, emotions, and stories we've never fully expressed. When we finally have the space to be seen, heard, and understood—without judgment, interruption, or advice—something shifts. Clarity returns. Pressure releases. We reconnect with ourselves.Together, we explore:• Why happiness is often found in small moments, not big milestones• How many of us learned it wasn't safe to express joy• Why being deeply listened to is a form of love• The connection between authenticity and wellbeing• A simple nightly practice to help you notice what makes your heart singThis conversation is a gentle reminder that joy doesn't disappear—it waits for us. And sometimes the path back begins with listening. Resources Mentioned in This Episode Emotional Scale | Abraham HicksHearing Out Life Drama Blog Hearing Out Life Drama Who am I Now Free Guide (no email required)Deb's Prior Raising Wild Hearts Podcast Appearances:

On today's Daily Detroit, Devon O'Reilly is back at the table after a family vacation in South Haven, so we start with some "Pure Michigan" talk about why that beach town has become a go‑to spot. Back in Detroit, I share a new Campus Martius retail experiment: a 20‑foot shipping container turned into a niche merch shop with Michigannia‑themed designs, custom Pewabic tile, and all the Camp Martius‑centric gear you could want. We also get into the lunchtime crowds, food trucks in Cadillac Square, and why it really feels like "IRL is back" in the city. Then we open the mailbag for smart note from a listener on exactly why Michigan's cannabis business is under serious stress. We wrap with a grab bag of very Detroit stories: Devon remembers swimming in the Detroit River off Belle Isle, I share the tale of Sheba the elephant buried near the island's giant slide (thanks Historic Detroit dot org!), and we kick around what a new Detroit City FC stadium needs to host beyond soccer. There's also a shout to a summer solstice member event at Henry and Clara Ford's Fairlane Estate, where Jens Jensen literally designed the great meadow to frame the solstice sunset. Follow the show on Apple Podcasts or wherever shows are found. Feedback as always - 313-789-3211 or dailydetroit@gmail.com is where you can shoot us a note.

Lured Up Podcast 397 Live Streamed on - 6/19/2026 Publish Date - 6/20/2026 This has been a WILD week! Not just in game and on screen, but in real life too. Ken opens up about a serious health scare, and how it is a wake up call not just to take care of yourself, but also each other. With June being Men's Mental Health Month, it is an important reminder to understand how your mental health can have a direct impact on your physical health. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear Ken share his feelings, and offer advice on how we can all do better at looking after on another. In-game, the news has been completely bonkers. The Road of Legends event is by far and away the most packed event the game has ever seen, even making the upcoming GO Fest: Global pale in comparison. With a ridiculous amount of Raid Bosses in rotation, some great bonuses, and the ability to EliteTM Adventure Effects, this will be one for the record books. We still have a few weeks before the event kicks off, but we make our first pass through the blog and call out the highlights. IRL GO Fests may be behind us, but JUne still has a lot of life left! We scan through the remaining events of the month including Frigibax Community Day, Skarmory Super Mega Raid Day, and Flying Taxi. We also had some updates to Daily Discoveries including clarifications about Friendship Friday, and a very cool direction for Scenic Sunday. Spotlight Hours also make a consistent return including the much missed Double Transfer Canty bonus. We also look ahead to what we know for July including Raichu Super Mega Raid Day and Sobble Community Day. Also, an upcoming partnership with Lego Stores in select Countries will bring us a Stamp Rally, and special Lego Background Pikachu, exclusively obtained at Raids in-store. Check the links for the Lego Store Locator and plan an outing! One last note from Ken - Thank you to our entire community for supporting Lured Up for 10 years. We love what we do, and we are so proud to be able to have such a loyal and engaged audience. Your presence in our streams, comments, and at IRL events is the fuel that keeps me positive and motivated. Take care of yourself, take care of those around you, and keep things positive. Your energy is valuable, and should be treated as your most important currency. Thanks again!

There comes a time in every person's life when they must contend with the question: which golf game is for me? For Rob, well he and his dad spent some time this past week hitting the links in PGA 2k25. Patrick and Chia were both won over by a totally Normal Golf Game, (which they will make Rob play next week when the crew gathers at Highground). Unfortunately, there's only so much golfing that can distract from Xbox closing multiple studios, Epic putting AI in Unreal Engine 6, and Don't Nod teetering on the edge of shutting down for good. As bleak as the AAA space is, at least Steam Next Fest has given Patrick and Chia games to look forward to in the indie zone, including Penguin Colony, the next game from the folks who made Umurangi Generation, and even more golf in the form of Sting and Swing, a stylish looking metroid-vania golfing game.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that's pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

Kevin Calhoun spent years doing HR and DEI work from inside some of the biggest corporations in the world. He watched those programs get built.

Welcome back to The Alchemist's Inkwell: Woo Woo Edition — where we read spiritual Reddit AITA stories and ask the important questions: are they actually wrong, or is everyone just being weird?This week, we're talking about Catholic school, ghost conversations with kids, spiritual therapy, shamanic astrology buzzwords, religious trauma, Amazon ghost-hunting kits, and one husband who apparently wants to become an exorcist.Because being open-minded does not mean believing everything.And being spiritual does not mean letting people manipulate you with “faith,” “intuition,” or a ghost-hunting kit they bought online.In this episode:We react to a parent worried about supernatural talk around her kids.We unpack whether a spiritual therapist's approach feels grounded or like a pile of buzzwords.We talk about religious trauma, relationships, exorcism, and what happens when spirituality crosses a boundary.And yes — some opinions are just wrong.CHAPTERS:00:00 Hook Preview00:30 Welcome to Woo Woo Edition01:24 Spiritual Reddit AITA as an intuition exercise02:08 Catholic school, ghosts, and family dynamics04:51 Is the free babysitting worth protecting?06:27 Religious shame culture and fear of other beliefs07:35 If your belief system is strong, questions shouldn't destroy it09:20 Wanting approval from religious institutions10:45 Was the parent actually looking for a reason to criticize?11:43 “Holy walnut” and Hermes the hamster12:08 Spiritual therapy, astrology, and mental health14:45 Therapy is personal — and fit matters15:39 Choosing a therapist you can actually trust16:06 Spiritual buzzwords and professional red flags17:40 Is the friend projecting?18:31 Finding therapists who are spiritually open but still grounded19:36 The ethics problem with spiritual credentials20:04 What kind of shaman are we talking about?21:34 Lineage, closed practices, and spiritual accountability22:25 The Amazon exorcist husband story24:46 Religious trauma and changing relationship dynamics26:40 Why unsupported exorcism is a serious boundary problem27:40 Trust, communication, and respect in relationships28:51 Is this faith, manipulation, or something more concerning?29:58 Everyone gets to have opinions — but not all opinions are harmless30:47 Some opinions are just wrong31:48 Go make some magicYouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday & welcome to our FIRST week of 3 episodes a week!!! (Mon/Wed/Fri…) And YES, we are kicking things off with a LITTLE chaos (there were storms in Texas last night and everyone was up all night!!) So if you think this episode feels all over the place… IT IS!! (welcome to the inside of our brains on a Monday morning lol). On today's episode: we get into a parenting concept that has officially rewired our brain: toddlers are SCIENTISTS!!! We are SO down to let our kids experiment + learn from their mistakes (safely). Plus, our #1 toddler hack: give them two choices (it has saved us in SO many standoffs already). First we get into the World Cup… it's taking over our lives (and America) in the best way possible!!! The TikTok video of girls asking "wait, when did the US get into the World Cup?!" sent us, the European fans are LOSING THEIR MINDS over Buc-ee's, ranch, & unlimited refills (& sales tax not being on the list price?!), and Rod Stewart canceled his concert to go to a World Cup game (Harrison's defense: no chance, you'd NEVER do that for a group stage match — it was laryngitis). Plus, Elon Musk officially became the world's FIRST trillionaire after SpaceX's IPO (Stock School with Harrison incoming!), the Summer House butterfly effect (Harrison's wildest theory yet on Jesse, Sierra & West), and the question we cannot stop thinking about: will Taylor & Travis ACTUALLY get married at MSG?! (& who would perform??

Organic gets written off every few years. Too slow. Too hard to measure. But for Tinder, Primark  and Channel 4, owned content is anything but an afterthought. In this panel, SocialChain's Eve Young sat down with Madeline Riley, and Aaron Gillies to unpack how organic has become a creative engine for cultural relevance, community connection and smarter paid decisions. From repeatable formats to reactive comments, pressure tests to IRL moments engineered for the feed, the session proved  that the best organic strategies build the brand, shape the work and tell you what people actually care about.

Most of us think we'll feel happier when life settles down.When the house is clean.When the kids are cooperating.When work slows down.When we finally get caught up.Resources Mentioned 

In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about the magic of the Summer Solstice, Cancer season, dream work, ritual practices, timeline shifts, and how to check in with everything you've been manifesting since last year.The Summer Solstice is one of the major energetic turning points of the year, and this conversation explores how to work with that energy through dreams, divination, flower crowns, ritual outfits, dancing, drumming, spell jars, junk journal magic, plant care, natural water, and intentional manifestation.They also talk about why this solstice feels especially activated, what it means to focus on your own world without spiritually bypassing, and how to stop shutting yourself down when you ask for what you really want.If this season feels like a pivot point, this episode is your reminder to take stock of how far you've come, name what you want next, and go make some magic.What are you doing for the Solstice this year?

For all you IRL haters, Episode 349 is lots of Path of Exile talk. We obviously do the IRL catch up, cuz, we know you secretly all love it, but just know, our monologues are thanks to a weed eater being a total jerk. It's not our fault, m'kay? We hope you're all enjoying PoE 2 as much as we are! GGG's big patch this week came out JUST as we started recording, so that'll be better referenced next week. You're all fantastic.

Lured Up Podcast 396 Live Streamed on - 6/9/2026 Publish Date - 6/12/2026 To all the new listeners: WELCOME and THANK YOU for checking out LURED UP! We are back home from GO Fest Chicago and we are both in agreement that this was the best IRL GO Fest that we have ever attended. There is plenty to unpack to back up our sentiment, beginning with how the introduction of different gameplay “Districts” put you right into the gameplay, as soon as you stepped off the plane. It was an amazing feeling to have the event come to life as soon as arriving in Chicago, and the barrage of geo-based Timed Research kept Trainers tied to their games as the grind through a flurry of tasks. Even moving from the airport to our hotel kept us immersed in the game, making the gameboard come to life. If really make Trainers feel like they were looking at an in-game world map at their feet. The geo fencing of districts paired with associated Timed Research had players covering a serious amount of territory. If this is any indication of how IRL events can curate and shape real life gameplay behaviors, than this is just the tip of a very exciting iceberg. We had a full weekend of gameplay, including countless Raids and an insane amount of walking. Both of our Adventure Sync numbers were above 120km. In typical Lured Up fashion, we had stuff going on all weekend. On Friday nights we hosted our meetup at Monk's Pub, the same place as our 2019 meetup. You all SHOWED UP and we had double the turnout than we expected, and we are so grateful to have been able to spend time with all of you. Next year we will need a new venue! Saturday night was Adam's idea, with a Pokémon themed Pop-Punk night. All of the bands on the bill were incredible, with Midway Down headlining and absolutely brought the house down. It was so much fun to hang with the community in that setting. We will absolutely be incorporating live music/entertainment into our plans next year! Finally on Friday we met up with our good friend JT Valor for a final push of Raids at the end of the weekend. In typical Raid Train Fashion, we ended up picking up Trainers at every stop. It was VERY cool to see JT in action. He gives so much of himself to his fans and spends heaps of time with everyone. JT's combination of hardcore gameplay, travel, and approachability is PGO video content at its best. In typical live-service fashion, it seemed that about as soon as we stepped on the airplane to come home, new news was dropping about the events happening through the end of the month. We blast through the news and cover all of the new event info released post-Chicago.

We talk through the messy early stage, the real monetization differences between short videos and long videos, and the habits that make his uploads bingeable. • Wonny's first channel in high school, what blew up, and why he lost passion • why short videos can struggle for AdSense and sponsorship integration • choosing a sustainable niche with low English competition by covering Chinese and East Asian trends • consistency through the first months of low views and the “10 video mark” breakout • the weekly workflow: research, notes, recording, editing, and thumbnails as a one-person team • using an iPhone and basic lighting, focusing on storytelling over gear • audience demographics in the US, Canada, and UK and what that can mean for CPM • thinking about long-term sustainability, diversification, and potential IRL content • handling failed experiments, pivots, and the mental side of competition • specific improvements that move the needle: pacing and sounding more natural on camera 

My mother died on June 11th, five years ago. This is the episode I recorded right after she passed. It's episode 300, and it's dedicated to her. What I didn't expect was what her last six months would teach me. About the matriarchy. About worthiness. About the hypermasculine drive that so many of us — myself very much included — run on until we can't anymore. And about what happens when you finally let yourself receive love instead of earn it. If you still have your mother here, you will want to call her after this one. In this episode: The real history of the matriarchy — and why it matters that it existed before the patriarchy How watching a parent die dismantles the story you've been living What hypermasculine burnout actually looks like from the inside What her last six months looked like — and why she was happier than she'd been in decades What "being enough" feels like when someone you love shows you it's true Timestamps: 00:00 — Dedication and why this episode exists 02:44 — The matriarchy: history, power, and what we lost 05:05 — Who my mother was 09:53 — What her life became my cautionary tale 12:16 — The hypermasculine drive and the burnout 14:37 — Her last six months and the miracle in them 17:05 — The room where she died 20:36 — What the matriarchy is asking of us now Links and Resources: Episode 3 with Kelly Knight on the Age of Aquarius: [link to episode 3] Free podcast strategy call: https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Ben Winn, VP Community and Content, makes the case for going "terminally IRL." As AI floods the internet with slop and bots overtake human traffic, he argues the real edge is showing up in person. He breaks down how to spot quality events, why brevity wins in outreach, and why he wants to get on a texting basis with more people.

In this IRL episode I talk to people on a sunny day in New York City about being held in prison without trial for 3 years, the life story of a man in his mid-50s, why a guy’s ice cream has melted, finding love later in life, and other things. It was a very fun episode. Do not trust the staircase. I am gecko.

Clinical psychologist and men's mental health researcher Zac Seidler on how boys are being fed increasingly inflammatory content online, and what men can do IRL to offer a version of masculinity that is healthy and vulnerable, instead of hard and dangerous.Many young men are taking a journey on the internet right now which starts with inoffensive self-improvement videos on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, but quickly becomes something else entirely.Young guys are searching the internet for fitness, grooming or relationship advice, looking for self-esteem and self-discipline. The algorithm then tries to sustain their attention by offering them more inflammatory and more dangerous content, presented by influencers with cigars and sunglasses, who give them an ideology that blames women for all of their problems.This is the loose digital ecosystem that has been named the 'manosphere', and it's leading people to wonder what exactly is going on with men that they're being drawn into a dark place and ideology that completely alienates them from women and from real life experience.Zac Seidler is a clinical psychologist and the director of research at Movember, the men's mental health charity, and he is particularly interested in men's issues.Zac has conducted some world-first research into this online world, asking the questions 'What need is this content meeting?', and how can men be empowered to pull themselves, their sons and their mates out of this dangerous cycle.Keep up to date with the research Zac is doing via Movember, the leading charity changing the face of men's health.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer was Eliza Kirsch.It explores manhood, masculinity, toxic masculinity, sons, fatherhood, men's mental health, men's suicide rates, depression, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Myron Gaines, Rollo, Joe Rogan, social media algorithms, Instagram, chronically online, touch grass, grief, death, sex and relationships, isolation, vulnerability, how to talk openly about mental health struggles, men and boys, mothers and sons, Looksmaxxing, Clavicular, becoming a father, marriage, love, husbands, how to be a better man, empathetic accountability, Breadtube, Contrapoints, Hbomberguy, and PhilosophyTube.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

➡ CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! On today's episode, I'll fill you in on where I'm at and what my plans are for summer and for this podcast.For now, I'm on hiatus.I realized that I've been podcasting for the last 4 years - and specifically these last two years on my own - with nary a week off!One of the things I'm most excited about is getting off my screen and actually being with people this summer. IRL, face to face. I want to bring people together with some pop-up events around town, in the forest, in my backyard, or maybe around a fire pit (maybe with a guitar?).I'm also taking the summer to think more about what I want this podcast to be, how I want to be helpful with this platform, and the kinds of guests that can help me inspire listeners to find the courage to gather, connect and create more in their own lives. And it's hard to figure this out when I'm in the middle of producing it.If you've got ideas for me, feedback on the podcast, stories of ways you've built community successfully, or people you think I should know about, I'd love to hear from you. Which episodes have you loved, which have you skipped? I'd love to know! Reply to this email or leave me a voice note HERE.There's still a chance you'll hear my voice on the pod this summer, but nothing planned. You may hear my daughter take over the podcast one week, or maybe I'll read a poem or a meditation. Maybe I'll leave you with some writing prompts, or invite you to a gathering I'm hosting locally or online. That's the joy of having my own podcast, I can play. But I hope you'll stick around, stay subscribed and stay connected.For more information on how you can turn it up to ELEVEN and support Savage Support here in Milwaukee at their event on June 11th, click HERE. Support the showI'd love to hear what you think.

This week on What in the Woo-Woo, Emily and KristaLyn react to two Reddit stories about Reiki, tarot, skepticism, grief, boundaries, and spiritual consent.First, a grieving teenager is taken to a Reiki session by his mom after a rough year, but he becomes convinced the whole thing is fake after finding what he believes is a hidden speaker. Was he right to refuse another session, or was his mom just scared and trying to help?Then, a man loses it after his best friend's girlfriend tries to give him a tarot reading in his own house after he already said no. Is he wrong for snapping, or was she crossing a line by pushing spiritual work onto someone who clearly didn't want it?This episode is full of gray areas: skeptical teenagers, grieving parents, pushy tarot readers, bad communication, and the big question at the center of it all — what does consent look like in spiritual spaces?Tell us in the comments: who was wrong here?Go make some magic.#WhatInTheWooWoo #TarotReading #SpiritualConsent #RedditStories #TheAlchemistsInkwell00:00 Welcome to What in the Woo-Woo00:47 A Woo-Woo of Middles00:56 Reddit Stories With Gray Areas01:11 Share Your Opinions With Us01:56 Story One: Am I the A-Hole for Saying No to Reiki?02:59 A Grieving Teen Goes to Reiki04:39 The Hidden Speaker Problem05:08 Reiki, Energy Movement & Stomach Gurgles06:06 Do We Have an Unreliable Narrator?07:15 Spiritual Work You Don't Want08:39 Reiki, Science & Skepticism09:30 Was the Practitioner the Problem?09:50 Grief, Fear & a Scared Mom10:47 Spiritual Consent Matters11:37 Verdict: No One's Really the A-Hole11:50 Story Two: Forced Tarot Reading Drama12:05 Judging the Poster Immediately12:35 Astrology, Crystals & Friend Group Tension13:30 “Stop With This Shit and Get Real”14:21 Verdict: Everyone Sucks Here15:05 Bad Astrology Takes and Breakup Advice16:25 Partners, Friend Groups & Personal Space18:31 Never Push Someone Into a Reading18:53 Insecurity and Forcing Acceptance20:15 The Poster Is Also a Problem20:46 Everyone Failed at Communication21:13 Gemini Season Communication Lesson21:23 Patreon, Submissions & ClosingJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL!

Yes, the astrology of the week has some beautiful, magical, benefic energy — but Saturn and Mars are also acting like hecklers in the background. So how do we let good things happen, celebrate joy, and stay connected to our own power without pretending everything is fine?Emily and KristaLyn also talk about Pride Month, spiritual travel, Greece, Delphi, asking your guides for validation, finding your values, and Emily's official Locusta cover reveal.If you are trying to stay grounded, magical, politically aware, and emotionally alive at the same time, this episode is for you.Tell us in the comments: what good are you finding in the heavy right now?Go make some magic.00:00 Welcome to The Alchemist's Inkwell00:24 Finding the Good in the Heavy00:36 Venus-Jupiter Conjunction in Cancer01:16 Pride Month, June Energy & a Special Reveal02:51 Thank You for 200,000 Streams03:57 The Astrology of the Most Magical Week05:35 Venus and Jupiter's Wedding With Hecklers07:16 Saturn, Leadership & Broken Systems08:14 Good Things Can Still Happen in Hard Times09:48 Joy, Creation & Resistance11:32 Finding Personal Good in the Heavy13:00 Spiritual Travel, Greece & Mount Olympus14:23 Coffee Ground Divination15:35 Athens, the Acropolis & Ancient Sacred Sites16:32 Delphi, Prophecy & Know Thyself17:28 Santorini, Deity Work & Magical Travel20:38 Pride Month and Being Out Loud21:20 Emily's Daughter Graduating Middle School22:38 Book Launch Season and Writing on Deadline23:40 Staying Engaged With the World25:33 Rejecting Black-and-White Thinking27:00 Celebrating Good While Fighting Bad28:22 Redemption Arcs, Growth & Ted Lasso30:24 Staying Curious Instead of Getting Angry31:26 Finding the Good Helps You Find Your Values32:03 Shame, Power & Defining Good for Yourself33:26 New Moon Validation Rituals35:10 Emily's Locusta Cover Reveal Begins37:16 The Cover Reveal38:26 Locusta Lore Drops Are Coming39:05 What Good Are You Finding in the Bad?40:01 Upcoming Interviews & ClosingJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL!

Let's be real—California politics has officially crossed into full-blown chaos, and my jaw is on the floor. When election drama, viral tattoo scandals, and even AI outperforming humans all happen in one week, you KNOW you need Tom and Drew breaking it down for you. In today's episode, Tom dives right into the wild world of mail-in ballots, voter ID controversy, fraud allegations, the truth about changing trendlines—and doesn't shy away from the emotional side of why it matters (and why everyone is wound so tight right now). Drew jumps in as always with his own boots-on-the-ground experience, calling out the difference between internet noise and “IRL” reality at the voting centers. If you want a full, unfiltered, and sometimes uncomfortably honest take on California primaries, election integrity, and why everyone loses their minds every election cycle, pull up a seat.We're not stopping there. Tom and Drew also take you into the heart of Middle East volatility—what's REALLY going on between Israel and Iran, how Trump positions himself in negotiations, and why we keep ending up in endless quagmires. If you want to get smarter about what's fueling the tension, this is your go-to. Oh, and for my fellow “I-just-want-boring-politics-back” sisters: there's a moment in here that will have you nodding so hard your earbuds fall out.Ketone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderQuince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodPlaud: Get 10% off with code IMPACT at https://plaud.ai/impactWhatnot:Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.

Up first IRL news with Andrew punishing an Ingrid player who counted their chicken before they hatched, and Joseph went to a place called Herbie's Burgers for a very sad mouthful experience.

What actually makes a life meaningful?In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, Ryann Watkin sits down with psychiatrist and author Anna Yusim to explore the difference between happiness and fulfillment — and why so many people still feel empty even after achieving success.Together, they unpack the hidden cost of achievement culture, the role of authenticity in mental health, and why intuition may be one of the most overlooked guides to a meaningful life.Dr. Yusim also shares her biopsychosocial-spiritual framework for wellbeing, explaining how our biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health all shape our sense of purpose and fulfillment. This conversation explores:• The difference between happiness and fulfillment• Why achievement alone doesn't create meaning• The “still quiet voice” of intuition• Authenticity and the masks we wear• Gratitude vs entitlement• Dark nights of the soul and personal transformation• How to feel more aligned with yourself and your lifeIf you've ever found yourself wondering, “Why doesn't this life I worked so hard for feel the way I thought it would?” — this episode is for you.

The way women give birth is changing, according to BBC analysis, which has discovered that one in four births in England are now emergency caesareans. The current figure is 26% - an increase of 8% in the past five years - and the rate of elective caesareans has also gone up. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists say the system is struggling to cope with this increased level of unplanned surgeries. To discuss what's behind the rise and the potential impact on women, presenter Kylie Pentelow is joined by BBC Health Correspondent Catherine Burns, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Dr Alison Wright, and Helen Cheyne who's a Professor of Maternal and Infant Health Research at the University of Stirling. Hannah Murray was at the height of her fame as an actor in 2016, having found fame as the much-loved Cassie in E4's teen drama Skins, she was now a regular in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones as Gilly. But behind the scenes Hannah was struggling with her mental health, and she found herself involved in an organisation which offered courses in magical healing. The following year, Hannah was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She's since retired from acting and written a memoir about those turbulent times, called The Make-Believe – A Memoir of Magic and Madness. Women's rights charity FiLiA has launched a new national campaign to get Sexual Entertainment Venues, commonly referred to as strip clubs, off the streets. This is informed by new research examining how the venues are viewed and experienced by women living, working and moving nearby. They spoke to more than 700 women across Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester, with 55% of women opposed to the venues, and 8% expressing supportive views. Dr Laura Favaro, Director of Research at FiLiA, joins Kylie to discuss their report. The female CEO of dating app Hinge has said that Gen Z "need AI to start conversations on dating apps because they lack the confidence of older generations". Jackie Jantos told the BBC that daters in their 20s are spending less time with other people, compared to two decades ago, has affected their ability to meet and chat in person. To discuss whether AI could help or hinder dating, and the challenges of meeting people IRL, Kylie is joined by author and journalist Olivia Petter and Jessica Evans, founder of events company BODA, which stands for Bored of Dating Apps.And BBC Music correspondent Mark Savage joins us to discuss the breaking news that Kayna King, the entrepreneur and founder of the Mobo awards, has died aged 57 from colon cancer. The Mobo Organisation called her one of the UK music industry's "most fearless champions". Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths
