Tania is a Gelli plate whisperer and she has some exciting offerings that we chat about too.

In this episode of Keeping It Real, the rant king does what he does best: cutting through the B.S. with brutal clarity and biting humor. He and Jillian tackle the intentional demolition of California under Gavin Newsom's watch, from the homelessness epidemic and out-of-control wildfires to the high cost of living, decaying infrastructure, and virtue-signaling policies that are driving residents out in droves. Along the way, Adam lets loose on political hypocrisy & identifies the politicians he thinks are the most dangerous. Plus, he slams Hollywood groupthink, the culture war on men, and why common sense has become a radical act.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On today's Keeping It Real, Cam recounts his birthday week which has some unexpected surges of happiness.  ----- Happiness is fleeting. It never lasts and I'm not sure it's supposed to. It's different than joy and contentment and pleasantness. Happiness bubbles up from an unexpected place and last such a short time. And when it arrives, it sometimes brings tears. Living in constant happiness would render us nearly helpless. It immobilizes you. Living in joy and contentment is great with, hopefully, unexpected surges of happiness from time to time that render us speechless. For my fifty-sixth birthday earlier this week, the good Lord sent me several surges of happiness. I'm old enough now, and wise enough, to know what they are when I feel them and to do my best to live in them for the moments they're with me. To document them in my head, to let them imprint on my brain, and to know that they'll end and to cherish their memories. The first one came when a small team of which I was a member successfully executed the opening an event. It was better, I think, than what we had expected. I looked over a large crowd who acknowledged our efforts with a celebratory cheer that lasted and lasted as some of the people we had worked to recognize where indeed recognized the way my team and I had hoped. I looked at my teammate and our grins were, well, enormous. Our celebratory hug was spontaneous, genuine, and heartfelt. Then I watched as one of my children entertained her friends from Oxford who had never seen a Mardi Gras parade or a Mardi Gras ball. They were overwhelmed. My daughter took such great pride in introducing her friends to her traditions and her roots and her friends soaked it all in. They ate it all up. They showed immense gratitude to my daughter in all the experiences they had and all the memories they received. I was happy when I saw my daughter beaming with pride. Her friends had seen and truly appreciated what she was so proud of. And then there's the moment that brought the tears. It was a friend of my late mother's who looked at my daughter and immediately saw her. Saw my mother. She said it was in her face and her joyfulness. I confess I had never seen it. My daughter's only ever looked like my daughter but when I looked through my mother's friend's eyes, I saw it. As I stood with my mother's friend, she began tearing up at the memory of my mother which had suddenly surged back. When I saw the tears and looked at my daughter through her eyes, I felt a surge of sadness, of ache, and, there in it all, was happiness. Happiness that my mother was so loved. My mother died three years ago on Wednesday. And for my birthday I was reminded that my mother was gone only if I let her be. I was reminded that I can keep her with me. Her memory is one I have access to. One I can control. One I can choose. And rather than feel sadness at her untimely loss, I can choose happiness that I remember her. And I did. And I felt it. I'm Cam Marston, just trying to keep it real.

EP. #312 - Keeping It Real, an interview with channeler and medium, Michelle Carpenter. I am honored to welcome Michelle Carpenter to Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell. Michelle is a Spiritual Medium and a Channeler. In this powerful chat we learn her story of trauma from a very young age and how she navigated that trauma by dis-associating from it. As she reached her thirties, she began to investigate her life and her choices. It took a lot of hard work through counseling and facing her way of being in the world for her to heal. Michelle recognizes that language is important, however just as important if not more so, is learning to speak from the heart. Michelle says heart to heart language means you show up with compassion and love and that is how we all get connected. Learning to laugh through trauma or laugh at past experiences can also be very healing.  Sometimes having a sense of humor is how we get through traumatic experiences. Michelle is the direct channel for the Council of 8, Angelic beings of light. They are here to guide humanity in sharing Truth and Love. Michelle and I also talked about humanity and learning to tune in to each other.

Reacting vs. Responding – The Power of the Pause In this episode of Keeping It Real with Zulma: The Swearing Therapist, we're diving into the difference between reacting and responding—and why mastering this skill can change your life. Ever snapped at someone and regretted it later? Or found yourself in an emotional whirlwind over something minor? That's reacting—automatic, impulsive, and often driven by past wounds. Responding, on the other hand, gives you space to process, think, and choose your words or actions intentionally. We'll explore: ✅ The role of mindfulness and self-awareness in emotional regulation ✅ Practical techniques to shift from reacting to responding in everyday situations I'll also share personal stories (yep, including my own less-than-proud moments) and real-world examples to help you build this crucial skill. Tune in, take a deep breath, and let's learn how to respond—not react. Zulma B.

Every podcast can benefit from editing because it enhances the listening experience by removing the boring parts and keeping the content engaging. While authenticity is important, it shouldn't come at the cost of listener engagement. Effective editing can transform a good conversation into a great podcast by honing in on valuable content and eliminating distractions. By focusing on who your audience is and what they want to hear, you can make informed decisions on what to keep and what to cut. Ultimately, I encourage podcasters to see editing as a technical task and a creative opportunity to present their best work and respect their listeners' time.Takeaways: Editing helps improve the quality of your podcast by removing uninteresting or redundant content. A podcast should be a conversation with the boring parts removed for better engagement. Understanding your audience is crucial for determining what content to keep or cut. Planning your episodes effectively can reduce the time needed for editing later on. It's important to focus on making your podcast a favorite for listeners, not just good enough. Using editing tools wisely can enhance your show's clarity without sacrificing authenticity.
