Cat & Cloud Podcast The Evolution of Leadership: From Barista to Business Owner - Episode #437 Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ Summary In Episode #437, Chris and Jared explore the real shift that happens when you move from barista to business owner. What once felt like fast-paced camaraderie and clear wins on bar becomes a slower, more complex game of systems, sacrifice, and long-term responsibility. They talk through the hidden cost of leadership, the tension between collaboration and independence, and why owners often see a hundred problems before they see progress. The takeaway: leadership evolves, satisfaction changes, and the key is choosing agency—building momentum on purpose instead of drifting through the role.

Love in the time of AI? Some people seeking romance or friendship are turning to AI chatbots to fulfill those desires, but could they surpass traditional human relationships?

Those saying they can't argue that intimacy is complicated and cannot be replicated in code. Now we debate: Could Dating an AI Be Better Than Dating a Human?  Arguing Yes: Thao Ha, Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the @HEART Lab at Arizona State University    Arguing No: Justin Garcia, Executive Director & Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute; Chief Scientific Advisor to Match.com; Author of "The Intimate Animal"  Nayeema Raza, Journalist and Host of "Smart Girl Dumb Questions", is the guest moderator.  Join the conversation on Substack—share your perspective on this episode and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for curated insights from our debaters, moderators, and staff.  Follow us on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and TikTok to stay connected with our mission and ongoing debates.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Sabrina breaks down self-abandonment in dating and relationships, why losing yourself often gets mislabeled as love, and how chronic people-pleasing, codependency, and anxious attachment actually form. Using psychology, neuroscience, and attachment theory, she explains differentiation of self, emotional fusion, and how the nervous system drives self-betrayal, protest behavior, and fear of abandonment in romantic relationships. You'll learn how to choose yourself without blowing up your relationship, stop outsourcing emotional regulation, set boundaries without guilt, and reconnect to your intuition versus anxiety. This episode is essential for anyone struggling with relationship anxiety, overgiving, losing their voice in dating, or repeating unhealthy relationship patterns. Big announcement: For the first time ever, I'm hosting a live workshop and you're invited. If dating feels exhausting and you can't figure out why it keeps ending the same way, this is for you.

Frank's story is rooted in family legacy, faith, and a commitment to generosity, growing a business alongside his brothers from humble beginnings to a 500-employee company, all while keeping love as its cornerstone. Frank shares the inspiration behind his new book, revealing how a spiritual awakening at Cornell University transformed his perspective from religion to relationship. He opens up about distilling four decades of "notes and quotes" into twelve life-changing truths, including the power of God's word, the importance of praise, and the impact of giving generously. Through personal stories like helping a friend heal family relationships through forgiveness, and the blessings that flowed from choosing faith and praise, Frank models how simple truths can be hard to live out but radically transformational. Whether you're seeking deeper purpose or practical ways to align your life with faith and love, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that living a blessed life is about loving fully, going boldly, and investing in what truly matters. You'll walk away inspired to seek truth, give generously, and experience the joy of sharing love with others.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

If you're stuck people pleasing, over explaining, apologizing too much, scanning everyone's mood, and saying yes fast then resenting it later, this episode breaks down what's really happening and why it feels so hard to stop. You'll learn how people pleasing often forms as a nervous system survival strategy, the fawn response, where being agreeable once meant safety, approval, or belonging. We talk through the root causes, conditional love, performance conditioning, fear of conflict, and why setting a boundary can trigger guilt, anxiety, and an intense urge to fix, rescue, or smooth things over. You'll also get practical tools to recover from people pleasing without turning cold or selfish, including regulation skills, grounding, breathing, and simple boundary language that's short, calm, and clear. The focus is rebuilding self trust, making your yes mean something again, and ending the cycle of obligation, burnout, and resentment in relationships. If you struggle with saying no to family, a partner, friends, or coworkers, and you want a clear framework for boundaries, emotional safety, and confident communication, this episode will give you what to listen for in yourself, and what to do next.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I was devastated to hear of the passing of James Van Der Beek. Like so many of you, I grew up watching Dawson's Creek. But for me, it was even more than a show. My very first job was working on Dawson's Creek in Wilmington, North Carolina. My parents got to see their little girl step onto a set they watched in our living room every week... and that memory means everything to me. Years later, I had dinner with James and his wife Kimberly (who was one of the very first guests ever on Food Heals episode 6). That night, James sat with me, looked me in the eyes, and told me my parents were proud of me. He held space for me in a way most people never do. He didn't have to. But that's who he was. In this episode, I'm joined by: Reality TV producer Jessica Sirikulbut, who shares her heartfelt reflections on James' character, his spiritual depth, and the emotional impact this loss has had on our generation. Ryan Bailey, host of So Bad It's Good, who brings his thoughtful pop culture lens to James' legacy and the profound way he shaped so many of our lives. Together, we reflect on: • The impact Dawson's Creek had on our generation • James' powerful final interviews about love and worthiness • What cancer teaches us about presence and perspective • The emotional and spiritual layers of healing • Why "I am worthy of love" might be the most important mantra of all James wasn't just a talented actor. He was a light. A father of six. A devoted husband. A man who meditated, journaled, and led with love. And in a world that feels so divided, his passing feels like a wake-up call to return to what actually matters. Love. Presence. Connection. Forgiveness. Sweetness in life. If this episode moves you, and you feel called to support his family during this unimaginable time, you can contribute here:

What if exercise isn't for weight loss?In this episode of Becoming Thin, I sit down with a woman who lost 95 pounds… and didn't stop there. She went from feeling postpartum, overwhelmed, depressed, and nearly 240 pounds to completing 100-mile ultramarathons.But this is not an episode about running.It's about identity.We talk about what happens when you stop using exercise to punish your body and start using it to care for it. We unpack why running alone won't make you thin, why it often makes you hungrier, and how reframing movement can completely change your relationship with food.She shares how she went “cold turkey” into keto and intermittent fasting, lost 95 pounds in a year, then faced carb fear when she reintroduced balance for marathon training. She gained some weight back — and didn't panic. We discuss maintenance as awareness, not obsession, and thinking in seasons instead of days.We also dive into mom guilt, modeling strength for your kids, the fear of regaining weight, and the mindset required to walk through the “pain cave” — those moments when you want to quit.This episode is about learning to keep promises to yourself.It's about meeting yourself in hard moments.It's about realizing that wanting to quit isn't the crime — quitting is.If you've ever felt stuck, afraid of gaining it back, or unsure whether you're “that kind of person,” this conversation will help you think differently.And new thinking creates new results.Listen for the mindset. Listen for the shift.00:00 Welcome Back, Champion: Learn From the Week's Failures01:21 Meet the Guest: 95 lbs Down to 100-Mile Ultras (It's Not Just About Running)03:02 Mindset Reframe: New Results Require New Thinking03:45 Free 3-Week Daily Coaching Course Announcement (Who It's For)07:06 Interview Begins: The First Mile Always Sucks (And That's Normal)08:35 Her Turning Point: Running for Love of the Body, Not Weight Loss12:00 Keto + Intermittent Fasting: Losing 95 lbs and Chasing the Next Medal14:17 Carb Fear, Strength Training, and Gaining Some Weight Back Without Panic17:33 Postpartum Survival Mode: Depression, Portions, and What She'd Tell New Moms22:25 Mom Guilt & Identity: Being a Mom and Still Having Your Own Passion25:42 Setting the Example: Grand Canyon Confidence and Breaking Family Patterns31:11 Maintenance Mindset: Balance, Seasons, and Living in “Training Mode”42:01 The Pain Cave: Choosing Your Attitude When You're Suffering48:12 Embracing the Pain Cave: Remembering You Chose This48:47 Meeting Your Raw Self in Suffering (and Why It Heals)51:30 Future-Self Motivation: Deathbed Perspective & Big Goals53:19 How Hard Things Recalibrate Your Life (Work, Sleep, Mindset)58:16 “I'm Not Special”: Making Endurance Possible with Time & Priorities01:01:11 Grace vs. Excuses: The Push-Pull of Rest, Movement, and Honesty01:08:21 The 10-Minute Rule & Showing Up on Low-Motivation Days01:09:50 Running as Therapy (But Not a Replacement) + Trail Running as Sanctuary01:16:02 Mortality, Gratitude, and ‘Burn the Ships' Commitment01:23:06 Closing Thoughts: Living Fully + Where to Follow + What's Next

Love is very much in the air on the Empire Podcast this week, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Becky Darke cram themselves into the podbooth and get all misty-eyed over Jason Voorhees, the masked maniac from the Friday The 13th movies, just in time for his birthday. But Valentine's Day also looms large this weekend, so the podteam answer a listener question about the worst choices made in rom-coms. The answers will shock you. Elsewhere, our intrepid quartet discuss the week's movie news, including the shock news that Mike Flanagan has decided to adapt a Stephen King story, and review Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights, Bart Layton's Crime 101, Corin Hardy's Whistle, and Hasan Hadi's The President's Cake. And Helen sits down on Zoom with Emerald Fennell to ask her all about her adaptation of the classic novel. [45:29 - 1:02:11 approx] Enjoy!

Ask frequent flyers what bothers them most about air travel and you might be surprised by the answer. It's not turbulence, cramped seats, or bad food — it's the other passengers. This episode begins by revealing which behaviors irritate fellow travelers the most and what people wish would stop happening at 35,000 feet. https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/airplane-etiquette-annoying-behaviors What brings two people together romantically has always been a mystery — and today, it's more complicated than ever. Dating apps offer endless options, yet many people struggle to find meaningful connection. What actually predicts long-term attraction? What matters less than we think? And what do science and history tell us about love, choice, and compatibility? Paul Eastwick joins me to explain how attraction really works. He's a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, director of the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory, and author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection (https://amzn.to/49RrGS0) Most people pursue goals with a clear payoff — something they hope and expect to achieve. But some people dedicate their lives to goals they know will never happen. Why would anyone do that? What sustains them? And what do these impossible pursuits reveal about meaning, purpose, and fulfillment? Journalist Mark Medley shares remarkable stories of people chasing futures they'll never live to see. He's author of Live to See the Day: Impossible Goals, Unimaginable Futures, and the Pursuit of Things That May Never Be (https://amzn.to/46fV95J). And finally, think about all the surfaces your phone touches — tables, counters, public spaces. Then think about where that phone goes when it rings – your face. We wrap up with what science says about phones, germs, and what that means for your skin and health.https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/beauty/how-smartphones-damage-your-skin-5-ways-to-protect-against-blue-light-and-bacteria/articleshow/124968775.cms PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

Love stories with a strange twist. In this Valentine's edition of Campfire, our experiencers share moments where relationships seemed guided by more than timing or luck. A prediction that didn't make sense until years later, a dream that mirrored reality a little too perfectly, and encounters that kept happening in ways that felt...arranged by someone or something. What makes these stories linger is how ordinary they begin. A random invitation, a change of plans, a person you almost didn't call. Then later you realize if even one small choice had gone differently, everything would have changed. Whether you believe in fate, intuition, or just a universe with a sense of humor, these experiences make you wonder how many relationships start long before we think they do.

Love is in the air as Valentine's Day approaches, but while Sarah and Amy are navigating a new romantic milestone, Susie is mostly just finding the whole shift deeply annoying. The duo dives into the social dynamics of the season by dissecting the functional differences between friendship and community, exploring why we need both even if they serve wildly different purposes in our lives. The conversation takes a sharp turn into "fitness cults" as Sarah realizes her old workout routine was less about health and more about a non-religious devotion to a gym leader, before pivoting to a bizarre news story involving a WWI artillery shell and a very delicate emergency room extraction. Naturally, this leads to a candid and hilarious debate over the 69 position; Sarah maintains it is an overrated logistical nightmare, but after Susie's passionate defense, the pair concludes that Sarah's distaste is likely just a result of poor execution.00:00 - New Relationship Dynamics and Valentine's Day Expectations10:19 - Understanding the Different Needs of Friendship and Community16:44 - Film Students and the Decline of Attention Spans24:41 - Manage Your Money and Cancel Subscriptions with Rocket Money26:46 - The Problem with Grading on a Curve in Academia30:47 - A Bizarre Emergency Room Visit: Unexploded Artillery Shell42:07 - Amplify Your Everyday with Thrive Cosmetics and Community Support44:56 - Sarah and Susie Debate the Logistics of the 69 Position49:57 - Experiencing Awe: Aquanauts and the Underwater Overview Effect54:16 - Why Public Dancing is Disappearing and Overcoming EmbarrassmentBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Aly & AJ. Ever heard of them?! Only the most iconic Disney Channel sister duo ever! And they go wayyy back with the Cyrus gals. From Hannah Montana tour memories to redefining yourself after Disney, this episode will transport you straight back to your favorite 2000s era… especially now that Disney Raves are taking over TikTok and crowds are screaming their songs all over again. Should Aly & AJ collab with Miley, Brandi & Noah? We think, yes.They get into their unshakable sister bond and why they'll never have a potential breakup (sorry, we had to), plus how this renaissance era somehow hits harder than any chart moment ever did. And in true Stoner fashion, they go on tangents about aging in Hollywood, YES to Cowbells, but noooo to the Sweet 16 movie, their unexpected country music roots, and why touring will either heal you or humble you. And to wrap it up, Aly provides important new mother advice that Mama Tish 100% agrees with. It's empowering for women, inspiring for artists and pure nostalgia for the Disney kids.Love you, Stoners.

Guest host Geena Davis helps us explore how the love we feel —for our partners, friends, family, even our four legged companions—shapes our brains, bodies, and lives.Summary: On this episode of The Science of Love with Geena Davis, we delve into the many forms of love, and experts share research on how small daily actions, physical touch, and emotional attentiveness strengthen relationships, while evolutionary and neuroscience studies reveal why these bonds matter. We also explore practical strategies for cultivating deeper connections and understanding the biological and psychological roots of love.Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Related The Science of Happiness episodes:  The Science of Love Series: https://bit.ly/TheScienceofLoveThe Science of Love, with Geena Davis (Episode 1): https://tinyurl.com/bfave5wdHow 7 Days Can Transform Your Relationship: https://tinyurl.com/bdh2ezhrToday's Guests:DANIEL LEVITIN is a neuroscientist, musician, and bestselling author of the books, Music as Medicine: How We Can Harness Its Therapeutic Power and I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music As Medicine. Follow Daniel Levitin on IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellevitinofficialJOHN GOTTMAN is a psychologist and the co-founder of The Gottman Institute. JULIE GOTTMAN is a clinical psychologist and co-founder of The Gottman Institute and President of The Gottman Institute and co-founder of Affective Software, Inc. Learn more about John and Julie Gottman here: https://www.gottman.com/JUSTIN GARCIA is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships. Learn more about Justin Garcia here: https://tinyurl.com/2c39cs6rANNA MACHIN is a British evolutionary anthropologist at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, England and author of the book Why We Love: The Definitive Guide to Our Most Fundamental Need. Learn more about Anna Machin here: https://annamachin.com/MARISA G.

Dear Humans, Jesus here, and on today's episode of The God Show we watched Democrats on Capitol Hill absolutely SMITE Pam Bondi as they questioned her over her mishandling of the Epstein Files. It did not go well for Pam. At all. You may've heard that Trump has been unhappy with her performances during public appearances, and today's hearing proves why. Each time she responded to a grilling, she either: crashed out like a toddler had a brain fart offered up some terrible attempt at a zinger from her Burn Book We watched the hearing live through Jasmine Crockett's epic takedown of Pam. As if Jasmine's time wasn't amazing enough, she stormed out right after Pam made Jasmine's point for her when talking about prosecutiopns. We also reviewed Cathy Fink's latest anti-Trump video, looked at new polling concerning Canadian's visiting America, and watched a great moment from Fox News yesterday when Jesse Waters was called a fascist. Watch now for a smite-ful and fun time with Jesus and the angels! Love,

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

When communication in a relationship starts to feel harder than it used to, it's easy to wonder whether something is wrong, with your partner, or with the relationship itself. Many couples reach this point during the power struggle stage in relationships, when differences feel sharper, conflict escalates more quickly, and emotional safety can start to feel shaky. In today's conversation, I'm joined by Thais Gibson, and we're talking about why relationship power struggles are not a sign of failure, but a normal part of the stages of love. We explore what's really happening beneath the surface when couples feel stuck in recurring conflict, including how the anxious avoidant relationship cycle can quietly take over communication and leave both partners feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Together, we unpack the myth that “good relationships should feel easy,” and talk honestly about normal relationship conflict, what's expected, what's workable, and what actually helps couples move forward. Thais shares practical frameworks for repairing after conflict, communicating needs more clearly, and rebuilding emotional safety in relationships, especially when old triggers and attachment patterns are getting activated. As you listen, I invite you to notice where you and your partner might be caught in the cycle, and what could shift if conflict became a doorway to understanding, growth, and repair instead of something to fear or avoid. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why the Myth That “Good Relationships Should Be Easy” Creates Conflict 03:12 The Stages of Love and How Relationships Change Over Time 05:33 The Power Struggle Stage in Relationships Explained 10:06 Why Triggers and Polarity Drive Relationship Power Struggles 16:21 The Anxious–Avoidant Relationship Cycle 17:40 Conflict and Repair Skills That Build Trust 29:36 Building Emotional Safety During Relationship Conflict 35:22 Communication Habits That Help Couples Move Forward If this conversation helped you recognize patterns in your relationship, especially around conflict, emotional safety, or feeling stuck in the power struggle stage, I want you to know you don't have to navigate this alone. As a gift to you, you're warmly invited to schedule a free consultation with me or a trusted member of my team at Growing Self. This is a private, secure conversation where you can share what's really been happening in your relationship and what you're hoping could feel different. You'll answer three quick questions so we can thoughtfully match you with the right counselor or coach, someone who understands the kinds of dynamics Thais and I talked about today and can help you move toward clarity, connection, and repair. It only takes a couple of minutes, and it's simply an opportunity to explore what support might look like for you. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self Special thanks to this month's sponsors of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast: Shopify — The all-in-one platform for building and growing your online business.

Today’s Bible Verse: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” — Deuteronomy 6:5 Deuteronomy 6:5 calls us to a faith that is not divided. God doesn’t ask for a portion of our lives—He invites our whole heart, soul, and strength. This command reaches beyond feelings into daily choices, priorities, and actions.
