Why do some people look amazing after procedures while others look strange, swollen and are frankly regretful? In this episode, I'm sitting down again with Dr. Rady Rahban, a Beverly Hills board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, to get brutally honest about what women need to know before plastic surgery. We talk about the procedures that can look beautiful when done well, the ones that are overdone or misunderstood, and the red flags that should make you walk away from a surgeon. My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and clear-eyed so you can make decisions from confidence instead of fear, pressure, or hype. What you'll learn: (07:13) Modern plastic surgery techniques and anesthesia make procedures safer than ever, but marketing hype can still cloud patient judgment. (08:49) Brazilian Butt Lifts involve highly aggressive liposuction and carry a deadly risk of fat embolisms if injected incorrectly into the muscle. (14:24) A revolutionary donor product called Aliclay allows lean, fit individuals to add cosmetic volume without needing their own harvestable fat. (19:52) The phenomenon known as "Ozempic face" is primarily the natural result of rapid weight loss rather than a specific drug side effect. (24:55) A natural-looking facelift relies entirely on a skilled surgeon knowing exactly how much to adjust the tissue dial without over-pulling. (32:13) Extensive body contouring after massive weight loss requires a highly detailed prioritization plan and realistic economic budgeting. (35:23) Many body contouring surgeons utilize unvetted assistant teams to perform extensive suturing while the primary surgeon exits the room. (38:01) Finding a reputable surgeon requires identifying specific red flags, such as high-pressure sales tactics or a disorganized office environment. Love the podcast?

Join Michael at his Mt. Shasta Summer Retreat, July 30 - August 2! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/mt-shasta-summer-retreat/.  Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Sue Morter.  Sue is an internationally acclaimed speaker, Master of Bioenergetic Medicine, and thought leader bridging science, spirituality, and human potential. As the founder and CEO of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, she teaches how to reprogram the body's electromagnetic energy flow through embodiment, self-healing, and higher consciousness. Her latest book, The Anatomy of Awakening, explores the hidden codes that help unlock the truth of who we are and live from our divine destiny.  Conversation Highlights Include: -Why awakening is not about fixing yourself, but remembering the divine wholeness that has always been who you truly are. -How embodiment shifts spiritual practice from trying to leave the body into fully inhabiting life with presence, clarity, and purpose. -A deeper look at the "God body" as the energetic bridge between the physical self and the higher consciousness we are learning to embody. -The importance of rewriting your identity so you stop seeing yourself as separate from Source and begin living as an expression of it. -How the body uses sensations, tightness, emotion, and energy to guide you back toward the parts of yourself that need awareness and integration. -Why spiritual practice is not meant to be an escape from life, but a way to bring your true self into relationships, family, work, and the world. -How bringing attention back into the body helps reclaim energy, soften old protective patterns, and expand your capacity to live authentically. -A powerful reframing of Love as the organizing force of the Cosmos, not just an emotion exchanged between people. -Why heaviness, sadness, anxiety, or fear can become doorways into healing when you follow them inward with breath, presence, and compassion. Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on the inward smile, gratitude, divine identity, and remembering that everything you need is already within you.

We tend to focus on how climate change affects coral reefs, sea turtles and polar bears on melting ice. But we rarely focus on how climate change is affecting microbes — the bacteria, fungi and viruses we can only see with microscopes — which outnumber all other life on earth. So says science writer Shayla Love, who warns that a warming planet might be making those microorganisms mutate in a concerning and even deadly way. And that melting ice may even unleash new, unfamiliar microbes. We talk with Love about her New Yorker article, “Our Warming Planet Is a Petri Dish for New and Deadly Microbes.” Guests: Shayla Love, science writer; her recent New Yorker article is “Our Warming Planet Is a Petri Dish for New and Deadly Microbes” Learn more about your ad choices.

 Love stories set in the American West are often extra romantic and heart-wrenching because of all the moving around the lovers are forced into. Jenny and Brian Drollinger's story takes them to every nook of the American West. But they actually met in high school in Alaska. It's a real life 80's rom-com, with all the miscommunications, near misses and twists of fate. 

Welcome back to another powerful episode! In this session, host Scott Carson breaks down the massive wave of distressed real estate note inventory hitting the market right now—especially across the Lone Star State. If you've been feeling stuck, chasing over-hyped multifamily deals, or getting burned by short-term rental market shifts, it's time to get razor-focused on what actually drives true cash flow. From upcoming Texas shadow inventory roadshows to breaking past the mental blocks of raising capital, Scott shares the exact steps you need to take action, leverage your network, and dominate the note space this summer. Detailed Topics Covered in this Episode: Texas Distressed Asset Updates: Scott discusses managing a pool of 54 notes in Texas, including a mix of performing assets, nonperforming assets, reverse mortgages going to foreclosure, and REOs spanning DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and the Valley. The Condensed 2-Day Note Class: Learn about the recent experiment of condensing the traditional 3-day virtual note buying workshop into a packed 2-day Saturday and Sunday schedule running from 9 AM to 7 PM, yielding highly positive feedback. Behind-the-Scenes Rehab Insights: Get a status update on a Georgetown, Texas deal entering its final phases, highlighting rising labor costs compared to last year and how handling minor cosmetic fixes yourself can protect your profit margins. The Power of Student Success: Celebrating coaching student Andy Espinero, who is closing his first deal from the Oklahoma roadshow with a projected minimum profit margin of $40,000 to $50,000. Upcoming Shadow Inventory Roadshows: Details on a planned physical roadshow through key Texas markets (Houston, San Antonio, DFW, Austin, and the Valley) to drive by, walk, and analyze 6 to 15 assets per market, spanning performing, nonperforming, REOs, and owner-financed notes. The Critical Importance of Niche Focus: Why Scott strictly targets institutional first liens instead of diversifying into risky multifamily syndications or volatile Airbnb short-term rentals. Overcoming the Fear of Raising Capital: A direct wake-up call to stop acting like a "secret agent," step out of your comfort zone, get away from relying solely on AI websites or social media "dumpster fires," and start networking live at local REIA clubs. First Liens vs. Second Liens & Proper Servicing: Clarifying misconceptions around legal risks in bankruptcy courts, emphasizing that using licensed servicing companies and attorneys keeps investors safe. Stop sitting on the sidelines letting fear—False Evidence Appearing Real—hold you back from taking action. The market is constantly moving, and you need to be learning from someone actively closing deals in today's environment. Whether you want to participate passively with your IRA or step up as an active investor to build long-term cash flow, reach out to Scott directly.

DANCEFLOOR DADDY V6Live at Dirty Pop • Rich's San DiegoThere are moments behind the booth when you realize this is bigger than music.Twenty-two years into this career and I still get that feeling when the lights drop, the room fills, and a thousand strangers decide to trust me with their night.Dancefloor Daddy V6 was recorded live during Dirty Pop at Rich's San Diego, a city that has been part of my story for more than a decade, the longest running monthly party in San Diego. Some of you have been dancing with me since the beginning. Some of you found me last week. Either way, for a few hours we all ended up in the same place.Whether you're listening at the gym, on a plane, in your car, or getting ready for a night out, I hope this mix gives you the same feeling that room gave me.Turn it up.Love,Drew GDancefloor Daddy V6Live at Dirty PopRich's San Diego#DancefloorDaddy#DancefloorDaddyV6#DirtyPop#RichsSanDiego#DrewG#DrewDoesDallas#DJLife#CircuitMusic#GayNightlife#LGBTQ#HouseMusic#DanceMusic#ClubLife#PartyWithPurpose#MusicIsTherapy#LiveDJMix#SanDiegoNightlife#GayCulture#DanceFloorFamily#DaddyOnDeck

There comes a point in life when the roles you've spent years perfecting no longer fit the way they once did. You've changed in a way that what once felt meaningful may suddenly feel draining. Relationships you've maintained for years can begin to feel one-sided. The goals that once motivated you may no longer inspire you. And underneath it all, there's often a quiet but persistent feeling that something inside is asking for your attention. In this episode of The Language of Love, I sit down with Michelle Oravitz, practitioner of Chinese medicine and women's health expert, to explore what happens when midlife invites us into a new relationship with ourselves. Together, we discuss the internal shifts that often emerge during this season of life, shifts that can show up as restlessness, irritability, emotional intensity, or a growing inability to keep performing versions of ourselves we've outgrown. We talk about why so many women reach a point where external validation no longer carries the same power it once did, and how learning to listen to the wisdom of the body can reveal a deeper sense of clarity, authenticity, and purpose. This conversation isn't about reinventing yourself. It's about remembering who you've been beneath the expectations, obligations, and identities you've carried for years. In this episode, you'll discover: Why emotional intensity in midlife is often a signal, not a symptom What your restlessness may be trying to tell you How external validation can quietly shape your choices—and what happens when it stops working The connection between body awareness, intuition, and decision-making Why certain relationships suddenly feel exhausting or misaligned How authenticity begins to replace performance as you grow older The surprising overlap between desire, irritation, and inner knowing What changes when you stop reacting to your life and start listening to it Simple practices that help you reconnect with yourself and hear your own truth more clearly If you've been feeling like something is shifting inside you even if everything looks the same on the outside this conversation offers language for a transition many women experience but few know how to describe. Because some of life's most important transformations don't arrive with a dramatic announcement. They begin as a whisper. And over time, become impossible to ignore.. For those drawn to embodied approaches to women's health and midlife transition, Michelle Oravitz's work in Chinese medicine offers a grounded way to reconnect with the body's intelligence and navigate this next phase with more clarity and ease. And if this episode is opening up questions about how you relate to yourself and others, explore Quantum Love as a next step toward understanding your emotional patterns and building deeper self-awareness in relationships.

Tomorrow a by-election will be held in the parliamentary seat of Makerfield in Wigan, one of three taking place. Makerfield has found itself at the epicentre of British politics - and the result could decide the next prime minister. We look at what the polls are saying about the way women in the area are saying they will vote and what is impacting that decision. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth. Scotland are one of the home nations, alongside England and Ireland, hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup currently taking place here. The Scots got their campaign underway last Saturday against Ireland with an historic win. Nuala is joined by the CEO of Cricket Scotland, Trudy Lindblade and by one of their team, all-rounder, Priyanaz Chatterji to talk about the growth of the women's game in Scotland and what this tournament means for the future of the game. Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster. Global Sex: What Sex Workers Know about Love and Capitalism is the title of a new book by the Danish anthropologist Sine Plambech. Sine Plambech is an internationally renowned expert on sex work, migration and human trafficking. Sine Plambech joins Nuala to tell us about her book and how she has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of money and sex across the globe, while introducing us to four women from Thailand and Nigeria at the heart of her research.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

This week's deep dive is FREE for everyone, and we mean everyone. Whether you're a longtime Collective member or brand new here, this one's a gift. We're going deeper into emotional processing containers, but this time we're breaking it down by Enneagram type. We cover every type in marriage: what backfires for each, what container works best, and how to create emotional safety with your specific spouse in your specific dynamic. This is the most practical, type-by-type episode we've done in the Summer of Intimacy series - and we wanted every listener to have access to it. No subscription required this week, t's a topic everyone desperately needs.

When you finally open up and say the vulnerable thing that needed to be said and shared, what next? Often, your spouse gets defensive, shuts down, or fires back, and now you're less likely to ever share again. This is one of the most common and heartbreaking cycles in marriage: vulnerability that backfires actually creates MORE hiding, not less. In this episode of the Summer of Intimacy series, Christa introduces the concept of emotional processing containers - structures that protect vulnerability so that sharing actually leads to connection instead of more hurt, so you can create a marriage where both of you feel safe enough to keep showing up and delighting in your live and shared light. For every Enneagram type, in every season of marriage, this episode will give you practical tools to make vulnerability work, even after a hard start. Listen here to this hope-filled message!

Before there were relationships, there was adaptation. Before there were marriages, there was adaptation. Before there were families, civilizations, languages, philosophies, religions, identities, cultures, nations, and histories, there was adaptation. Existence itself rests upon a single uncompromising principle: Everything that lives must continuously adjust to what is. Nothing receives exemption. Stars adapt to gravitational forces. Forests adapt to seasons. Species adapt to environments. Consciousness adapts to experience. Life itself survives through perpetual negotiation with reality. Only the human ego attempts a different strategy. It attempts permanence. It attempts certainty. It attempts preservation. It attempts to freeze living things into familiar forms and then calls that stability. This may explain one of the greatest tragedies in intimate relationships. Many people do not fall in love with a person. They fall in love with a version. A snapshot. A moment. A psychological photograph taken during a particular season of someone's evolution. Years later they discover the photograph has changed. The ambitions changed. The fears changed. The values changed. The body changed. The dreams changed. The identity changed. And suddenly what should have been expected feels like betrayal. Not because transformation occurred. Because transformation was never included in the original agreement. The relationship begins suffering from a silent disease. Not incompatibility. Not conflict. Not communication problems. The disease is the expectation that life should stop moving. Yet life never agreed to such a contract. Every intimate relationship eventually becomes a confrontation with the most fundamental law of existence: Nothing living remains the same. The deepest form of love may therefore have very little to do with possession, agreement, compatibility, romance, chemistry, or even commitment. It may involve something far more difficult. Participation. The willingness to remain present while another human being becomes. Not who you expected. Not who you prefer. Not who you originally chose. But who life is continuously revealing. This is where rigidity enters the story. Most people misunderstand rigidity. Rigidity is not strength. Rigidity is fear attempting to negotiate with impermanence. A boundary protects what is essential. Rigidity protects what is familiar. A boundary serves growth. Rigidity resists growth. A boundary preserves integrity. Rigidity preserves certainty. One creates intimacy. The other slowly suffocates it. The irony feels almost unbearable. Many people spend years defending what they call standards, principles, values, self-respect, masculinity, femininity, tradition, or boundaries. Underneath the language often sits something much older. Fear. The fear that adaptation will require grief. Because adaptation always demands the death of something. A belief. An expectation. A certainty. An identity. A story. A version of ourselves. A version of our partner. Love therefore asks for a sacrifice few people anticipate. Not the sacrifice of self. The sacrifice of illusion. The illusion that the person beside you can remain unchanged while everything else in existence continues evolving. This becomes even more complicated when childhood wounds enter the relationship. An abandoned child becomes an adult demanding certainty. A neglected child becomes an adult demanding emotional guarantees. A rejected child becomes an adult demanding constant validation. The wound incurs the debt. The partner receives the invoice. What began as pain becomes expectation. Expectation becomes entitlement. Entitlement becomes rigidity. Rigidity becomes relational gravity. The relationship slowly bends around old injuries rather than present reality. Two people stop meeting each other. They begin negotiating with ghosts. One partner speaks from today. The other responds from twenty years ago. One partner changes. The other interprets the change as abandonment. One partner evolves. The other experiences evolution as betrayal. Neither understands the actual conflict. The argument appears relational. The conflict is ontological. Reality keeps moving. Someone is trying to stop it. Daoist philosophy recognized this thousands of years ago. Water never argues with the riverbed. Water never demands permanence. Water never mistakes form for essence. It changes continuously while remaining completely itself. Rain. Mist. Ice. River. Ocean. Different expressions. Same nature. Healthy love functions the same way. Its essence remains while its expression evolves. The couples who survive decades together may not possess superior communication skills. They may not possess superior compatibility. They may simply understand a truth that many never discover: Love is not measured by how tightly you hold on. Love is measured by how truthfully you participate in another person's becoming. Can you update your understanding as quickly as life updates the person you love? Can you release outdated versions of them before resentment builds a shrine around them? Can you remain curious where others become certain? Can you remain present where others become controlling? Can you bless evolution where others call it betrayal? Because eventually every intimate relationship arrives at the same doorway. On one side stands certainty. On the other stands life. You cannot hold both. The person who chooses certainty eventually loses intimacy. The person who chooses life discovers that adaptation was never the enemy. Adaptation was love's highest form of intelligence. And perhaps its most sacred expression.

In Episode 368 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, Jason addresses one of the hardest golden cages a parent can see — because the bars are made of good intentions. You watch your kid struggle. Every cell in your body wants to step in and fix it. And that urge feels exactly like love. That's the gold. The cage is what happens to a kid who never has to carry anything hard. Because the more you shield them from struggle, the less they'll be able to handle when you're not there to do the shielding. And one day, you won't be there. In this solo Wednesday episode drawn from his What's Real newsletter — released just before Father's Day 2026 — Jason exposes the overprotection trap for the golden cage it is. Why stepping in feels like good parenting but quietly steals the one thing that actually builds confidence. What the research on helicopter parenting consistently shows about anxiety and depression. And what Jason's own kids needed to see from him — not the polished comeback, but the messy middle. In this episode, Jason covers: Why the urge to protect your kids feels like love — and why that's exactly what makes it a cage Albert Bandura's research on where real confidence actually comes from — and why it can't be given, only earned The message you send every time you step in — and why your kids hear it even when you never say a word What helicopter parenting consistently links to in kids — and why the thing we do to lower their anxiety raises it instead Jason's confession — what his kids actually needed to see from him in 2011, and what he almost hid from them The difference between abandoning your kids and letting them struggle — and why a coach is the right frame What it looks like on a normal Tuesday — four practical ways to calibrate the load without removing it What Romans 5:3-4 says about suffering, perseverance, and character — and why you can't install any of it into your kids You can't give your child character. You can only give them room to develop it — and the courage to stand back while they do.

What if a single mistranslated word quietly bent the way the church has understood the gospel for 500 years? Most of us were handed a faith built on personal piety, sin management, and a ticket out of hell, and then left wondering what to actually do on Monday. In this conversation, author and former pastor Wayne Jacobson sits down with Daron Earlewine to unpack his new book Just Love and the claim at the center of it: the Greek word we translate "righteousness" was translated "justice" everywhere else. Daron and Wayne explore what changes when love, not performance, becomes the source of transformation, and how living loved produces real justice toward the people around you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ⚡️ How one Greek word came to be translated "righteousness" instead of "justice," and why that single shift reframes nearly every verse where the word appears. ⚡️ Why salvation was never meant to be amnesty for personal sin, but a doorway into the Father's love that changes you from the inside out. ⚡️ How being filled with God's love makes you a giver of life instead of a seeker of it, so justice becomes fruit rather than religious work.

In this episode of the Awesome Marriage Podcast, Dr. Kim sits down with bestselling author Gary Chapman for a practical and honest conversation about what it really looks like to keep a marriage growing, not just surviving. They talk about why marriages don't just "stay the same," how couples slowly drift without realizing it, and what it takes to stay emotionally connected over time. Gary unpacks how love languages can shift through different seasons of life, why assumptions create so many problems, and how simple things like curiosity, communication, and daily check-ins can completely change the tone of a relationship. If you've ever felt like you and your spouse are just "off" lately, or you want to be more intentional about loving well, this conversation gives you real, doable ways to start moving back toward each other again.   Episode Highlights: Without intentional effort, connection naturally fades into distance or "roommate mode."  Couples often miss each other because they're expressing love in ways that feel right to them, not in ways that actually land with their spouse.  When couples stay teachable and intentional, even conflict becomes an opportunity for deeper connection.    Quotes from this Episode: Gary Chapman: "Marriage is either going to grow or regress—there's really no drifting in place." "I don't talk about a perfect marriage. I talk about a growing marriage." "Life satisfaction is found in relationships, not in the accumulation of things." "We cannot read each other's minds—you have to ask questions and listen." "The objective is not to win the argument—the objective is to find a solution together." "It's no fun to live with a loser. Why would you create a loser? You're on the same team." "Love has to be communicated in a way that's meaningful to the other person."     Kim Kimberling: "I don't think I'll ever learn everything there is to know about Nancy in a lifetime." "Marriage is an adventure because you're always discovering new things about each other." "If you're not feeling loved, turn into your marriage—not outside of it." "Assumptions in marriage are usually way off." "The distractions we entertain today are often stealing the connection we could be building at home." "There's so much value in the person God put in front of you to do life with." "Small, intentional steps done consistently really do make a difference over time." Time to Talk About it: Where in our marriage are we currently growing—and where might we actually be drifting without realizing it? In what ways am I trying to show love to my spouse, and are those actually the ways they most feel loved? How well do we really ask questions and stay curious about each other instead of assuming we already know what the other thinks or feels? What would it look like for us to build a simple daily rhythm of connection (even 10–15 minutes) to stay emotionally close? Mentioned in This Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!

Peter McGraw is joined by David Jitendranath for a Solo Book Club episode on Søren Kierkegaard's The Present Age. They discuss why this slim, difficult book feels eerily modern: a culture of reflection without action, irony without commitment, resentment disguised as equality, and “leveling” as the force that pulls down anyone who dares to stand apart. A conversation about aliveness, deep water, and what it costs to act as an individual in an age of endless commentary.Love the show?

Father Hudgins' homily: Love and Enemies

Have you ever felt a presence you couldn't explain? That quiet knowing that someone you loved was near, even when nothing about it made logical sense? My guest is Courtney Dawson, an evidential psychic medium who has been seeing spirit since she was a toddler, and spending most of her life terrified of it.  She grew up in a devout Christian home where what she was experiencing had no language, no permission, and no safe place to land. That fear became anxiety that stayed with her for decades, until the moment everything cracked open. We get into evidential mediumship, what it actually looks and feels like to receive messages from the other side, and how her dad, who never fully came to terms with her abilities while he was alive, showed up clairaudiently within hours of passing.  He told her about his new shoes for the journey and something else that would take your breath away… Stay with us to the close. Courtney opens it up to a live collective message from spirit, and it is worth every single minute. ✨ Let me know what resonated. I always love hearing from you. Be kind, gentle, and loving with yourself! With so much love, P.S. A 90-minute Soul-Alignment Intensive Session is absolute alchemy and exactly what it sounds like. If you're ready for a real breakthrough, let's go. ✨ juliereisler.com/calendar ✨   Key Topics Courtney Dawson's journey from childhood to mediumship The nature of spirit and soul progression How everyone has innate intuitive abilities The importance of evidence in mediumship Connecting with loved ones in spirit The role of divine and source in spirituality Healing through mediumship and spirit communication The impact of religious beliefs on mediumship Developing and trusting your intuitive gifts The multi-dimensional nature of spirit entities   About Courtney Dawson Courtney Dawson is an Arthur Findlay-trained evidential psychic medium, ordained spiritualist minister, and founder of the Connected Spirit School.
