130. Psilocybin and Menopause: Two Clinicians Reframe Midlife for WomenEpisode SummaryEstrogen regulates the serotonin system, and psilocybin reaches the same receptor. That is where this Salon starts, and it is the most specific version of the psilocybin and menopause conversation I have heard in public.Kelly McGinty, a nurse practitioner, told a full room at Town Hall Seattle that the drop women feel in perimenopause is physiological rather than imagined. I asked whether that means psilocybin replaces estrogen. She said no, and that she would like more research. Her co-author, Dr. Trish Singh, added that research on menopausal women barely exists at any phase of the transition.Two clinicians describe what they see in their patients, then draw a line at the point where the evidence ends. Most people selling a reframe of midlife will not draw that line on a microphone.What sits on the other side of it: anxiety as a knock on the door rather than a malfunction, why women microdose intuitively instead of on a protocol, and the archetypes we inherit about aging women. Kelly's oldest client is 85, and she says the younger generation is watching to see how the older one heals.A woman in perimenopause deserves an explanation for what is happening in her body. Psilocybin is not what delivers that. A provider who knows the full symptom list is.

Times are tough for most on the planet. If you really think about it most people and nature beings are struggling on some level to try and survive. When we feel so pressured in life that can lead to feeling jealous or comparing what you have to others. But don't be so quick to judge that having more leads to a life of happiness.Join this really potent show as Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman speak about the difference of being “materially wealthy” versus “spiritual wealthy”. Spiritual wealth leads to a life of deep magic that cannot be replaced by what we can manifest purely on material levels.Follow Us Shamanstv.comSupport the show

In this episode of Eternal Durdles, Zac and Phil dive into one of the strangest things about Premodern: some of the cards players love the most are exactly the cards that would be considered miserable in almost any other setting.Stasis. Winter Orb. Opposition. Deranged Hermit. Survival of the Fittest. Armageddon. Sphere of Resistance. Wildfire. Web of Inertia.

Instead, they fundamentally change the rules of engagement.And that's the key distinction.Phil argues that truly unfun cards are the ones that strip you of agency — situations where there's effectively nothing meaningful you can do.

Arden Myrin is back in the Pol' Atteu Beverly Hills Showroom and we get into everything from Hollywood war stories to protecting your magic, dating after divorce, fashion obsessions and the very unusual reason her on-screen husband Burt Kreischer still will not kiss her. We pick up with Arden looking back at the shows she loved making, what it feels like to be underestimated, and why she refuses to let anyone minimize the work behind the comedy. She opens up about writing her own book, building and designing her own home, creating a musical and the lesson her late mother gave her as a child: protect your magic. That conversation takes us somewhere more personal as Arden and Patrik connect over losing their mothers, learning to stop people-pleasing and finally giving themselves permission to listen to what actually feels right. Then the relationship tea starts to pour. Arden reveals she has a boyfriend — a grown-ass man with a job, thank you very much — and explains why nine months together definitely does not mean nine months to move in. With Atlanta calling for another fast six-week shoot, we get into life on the set of Free Bert, block shooting an entire season, lightning lockdowns, memorizing scripts out of order and the tricks Arden uses to get her lines into her body. And then there is Bert. Arden explains why, despite their on-screen chemistry, Bert Kreischer has never kissed her on the show — and why she actually respects the reason. Could this season finally give their characters a little more intimacy? Arden has hopes, but she has not seen all the scripts yet. Of course, no Undressed conversation stays serious for too long. We detour through Rome, Fendi boots that should never have been worn for a walking tour, red kitten heels, lucite “come-fuck-me” shoes, Patrik's Versace obsession and a debate over whether style is ever worth destroying your feet. And just when we think the episode cannot get more fabulous, SnowWhite90210 enters the conversation as the true professional: camera-ready, cue-conscious and apparently prepared for her next close-up. It is funny, revealing and unexpectedly heartfelt — an interview about knowing who you are, protecting what makes you different and finding the people who actually get your magic.

What if your "full potential" isn't the perfectly optimized version of you who wakes up at 5am, never misses a workout, checks every box, and somehow does it all… but the version of you who feels the most *alive*? In my FIRST VIDEO episode (!!!) (see on YT here: https://youtu.be/kLj515XsV-8), I'm rethinking everything we've been taught about reaching our potential....and exploring the difference between optimizing your life and actually, deeply meeting it/yourself. We're talking creative flow, alignment, discipline vs. self-connection, the seasons where your potential might look completely different than you expected, and why the moments you feel most expressed, connected, and like *yourself* may be the moments you're already living it.

What happens when the Norse gods know the end of the world is coming, but there's nothing they can do to stop it?We're diving into Ragnarök through the stories of two very different deities: Balder, god of light, beauty and joy, and Heimdall, the watchful guardian of Asgard. We explore Balder's tragic death as the first unmistakable sign that Ragnarök is coming, Heimdall's role in sounding the final warning, and how these two gods effectively bookend the Norse apocalypse.We also chat about Balder's connection to grief, hope and the return of light, alongside Heimdall's associations with protection, boundaries, perception and discernment. Plus, we discuss ways to work with both deities, their offerings, symbols and correspondences.Join us over on our Patreon for bonus content based around this series, magical downloads, bonus episodes and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagic

Pull up a chair in the Solarium, pour something warm, and prepare for a very bookish, very witchy catch-up with Laylla and Chelle.This time around, the witches are flipping pages, checking the stars, and knocking a few titles off of their ever-growing magical to-read pile. They explore the music, folklore, and enchantment woven through Irish tradition in Draíocht Ceoil: The Sound of Magic in Irish Traditions by Geraldine Moorkens Byrne, then wander into the shadowy halls of the psyche with Aliza Einhorn's Tarot of the Unconscious, a fascinating look at the connections between tarot, psychoanalysis, symbolism, and everything lurking just beneath the surface.They also crack open Patricia Telesco's Your Book of Shadows and talk about what it offers witches looking to create a magical record that actually feels personal rather than like something copied out of someone else's grimoire. Then it is time to consult the heavens with Wyatt's Astrological Year Calendar 2026 from AstrologicalYear.com and Theresa Reed's The Book of Astrological Returns, exploring how astrology can become something you work with throughout the year instead of something you only remember when Mercury starts acting suspicious.And because no proper Solarium gathering is complete without a little tea, Laylla and Chelle catch up on what has been happening in the wider Pagan community, including Beck Ravenswood's ongoing fight against Pennsylvania's old divination law and the larger questions it raises about religious freedom, fortune telling, and why laws written for another century are still haunting modern witches.There is also plenty of Pagan Pride Day talk, upcoming events, community happenings, books worth adding to your shelf, and the usual wandering conversations that happen when two witches are left alone with caffeine, new magical supplies, and opinions.Come hang out in the Solarium. The books are open, the tea is hot, and apparently Pennsylvania law still needs an exorcism.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

In this special birthday episode, Emily Scott turns the microphone around and interviews Syama Bunten, founder of Wealth Catalyst and host of Getting Rich Together. Syama shares the story behind building a podcast and community rooted in women's capital agency, trust, and the belief that every woman is closer to her greatness than she may realize. She reflects on the milestones so far, including 140 podcast episodes, getting over 2,000 five-stars on Spotify, three Wealth Catalyst Summits, salon rooms across the country, and thousands of introductions between women who needed to know one another. They also talk about what does not show up in the numbers: redefining success beyond a traditional P&L, learning that generosity requires reciprocity, the woman Syama leans on, and why she is no longer interested in convincing anyone that this work matters. This is a conversation about building something without a clear blueprint, standing in your greatness while remaining curious, and listening to the wiser self who says: you are just getting started.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Emily Scott Takes Over as Interviewer for Syama's Birthday 02:41 The Origin Story of Getting Rich Together and Its Launch 07:20 Episode Numbers, Downloads, and Building a Women's Financial Empowerment Community 10:42 Inside Wealth Catalyst, the Summits, and the Freedom Tour Salons 15:48 Who Actually Shows Up in the Room and Why 21:54 Surprises, Resonance, and the Magic of the Salon Tour 29:20 Self-Worth, Identity, And Redefining Success 42:52 The Next Leg, Mini Summits and New Markets 1:05:27 Time Management, Boundaries, and Working Without Burnout 1:10:05 A Heartbreak That Reshaped How Syama Leads 1:14:25 Mentors, Chosen Family, and Leaning on Trusted Women   Find more from Syama Bunten: Your money story may be shaping your financial life more than you realize.

What if the thing you're searching for isn't something you need to find—but something you've carried within you all along? In this episode of Women Express, Denise Harrington and Nia Harrington sit down with Cynthia James for a wide-ranging conversation about intuition, purpose, joy, the divine feminine, and the power of women coming together rather than competing with one another. Cynthia shares why she believes our purpose evolves with us, how the experiences we've had throughout our lives can reveal a deeper thread, and why listening to your inner voice may be more important than having a perfectly mapped-out plan. They also explore her book The Kingdom of Magic and Mystery and its Seven Castles, while reflecting on taking risks, giving yourself grace, and finding meaning in the small things that bring you joy. This is a conversation about trusting yourself, embracing who you are becoming, and having the courage to step into what's already within you.   More from Cynthia: -TikTok -Youtube More from Women Express:  -Denise LinkedIn -Instagram -Speaking With Impact  

Instagram is full of overflowing Disneyland trash cans and bathrooms with no toilet paper, no towels, and stains on the floor. That used to be the one thing this park did not do.

The Power of Local Roots and Friendship  Key Insight:   Bill and Tony's story is rooted in long-standing friendship and local ties. Both grew up in the Grayslake area, attended local high schools, and have deep connections to the community. Actionable Advice: Leverage Local Networks:** If you're starting a business, tap into your hometown connections. Familiarity with the area and its people can help you understand community needs and build trust quickly. Build with Friends:** Shared history and trust among founders can make the entrepreneurial journey smoother and more resilient. Expert Tip:   Don't underestimate the value of local goodwill. People love supporting businesses run by "one of their own." 2. Choosing the Right Location: Visibility and Community  Key Insight:   Run It Back's founders prioritized visibility and accessibility when choosing their location. After their first choice fell through, they pivoted quickly, relying on local tips and their own knowledge of the area. Actionable Advice: Scout for High-Visibility Spots:** Look for locations near other popular businesses or community hubs. Foot traffic and easy access are crucial for new ventures. Be Flexible:** If your first choice doesn't work out, stay open to alternatives. Sometimes, the "second best" option turns out to be the perfect fit. Expert Tip:   Ask friends, family, and local business owners for leads on available spaces. Word-of-mouth can uncover hidden gems. 3. Creating a Multi-Generational Gaming Space  Key Insight:   Run It Back is intentionally designed to welcome all ages—from kids to adults, casual players to hardcore gamers.

Blending Retro and Modern Gaming Experiences  Key Insight:   The founders are passionate about reviving the social, in-person gaming experience, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge technology. Actionable Advice: Create a Retro Room:** Set up classic consoles (think Atari, Donkey Kong, Mario Party) alongside modern PCs and consoles. This attracts both older gamers and curious younger players. Encourage Social Play:** Design your space to foster face-to-face interaction—couches, shared tables, and group tournaments. Expert Tip:   Host "throwback nights" or themed events to celebrate gaming history and bring generations together. 5. Making Collectible Cards Accessible and Fun  Key Insight:   Run It Back started as a card shop and remains committed to making collecting accessible, especially for kids. Actionable Advice: Combat Scalping:** Keep prices fair and offer free packs or affordable options for young collectors. Diversify Inventory:** Stock popular lines like Pokémon, Magic, and sports cards, but also introduce niche or international games (e.g., Azuki from Japan). Educate New Collectors:** Host "how-to" sessions or beginner nights to help newcomers learn the ropes. Expert Tip:   Use online platforms like Whatnot to reach a broader audience and move high-value inventory, but keep your in-store experience welcoming and inclusive. 6. Building Community Through Events and Tournaments  Key Insight:   Events are at the heart of Run It Back's community-building strategy, from casual tournaments to movie watch parties. Actionable Advice: Host Regular Tournaments:** Use simple, inclusive formats (e.g., names in a hat, double elimination) and keep entry fees low. Offer Prizes:** Even small rewards can boost participation and excitement. Create Social Events:** Movie nights, watch parties, and themed gatherings foster a sense of belonging. Expert Tip:   Encourage friendly competition and sportsmanship. Make sure your staff sets the tone for a welcoming, respectful environment. 7. Flexible Pricing and Memberships for All  Key Insight:   Run It Back offers a range of pricing options to suit different needs and budgets. Actionable Advice: Hourly Rates:** $10/hour for consoles, $12/hour for PCs. Free Board Gaming:** Keep some activities free to lower the barrier to entry. Membership Tiers:** Offer monthly memberships with perks like free hours, discounts, and exclusive access. Event Packages:** Birthday party packages ($299 for two hours) make the space accessible for special occasions. Expert Tip:   Regularly review your pricing to ensure it remains competitive and accessible, especially for families and young gamers. 8. Partnering with Local Businesses  Key Insight:   Collaboration with nearby businesses (like Papa John's for pizza) enhances the customer experience and strengthens community ties. Actionable Advice: Cross-Promote:** Work with local restaurants, shops, and service providers to offer bundled deals or special promotions. Support Each Other:** Refer your customers to neighboring businesses and vice versa. Expert Tip:   Joint events (e.g., pizza and gaming nights) can draw larger crowds and introduce your business to new audiences. 9. Leveraging Online Platforms for Growth  Key Insight:   Run It Back uses platforms like Whatnot, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord to build its brand and connect with customers. Actionable Advice: Sell Online:** Use auction sites to reach collectors beyond your local area. Stay Active on Social Media:** Share updates, event announcements, and behind-the-scenes content to keep your community engaged. Build a Discord Server:** Foster ongoing conversation and community among your most dedicated fans. Expert Tip:   Your website should be more than a digital business card—include inventory updates, event sign-ups, and community resources. 10. Continuous Improvement and Community Feedback  Key Insight:   Bill and Tony are committed to evolving their offerings based on customer feedback and community needs. Actionable Advice: Solicit Feedback:** Regularly ask customers what they'd like to see—new games, events, or amenities. Stay Agile:** Be willing to pivot or expand your offerings as trends and interests shift. Celebrate Milestones:** Mark anniversaries, big tournaments, or community achievements with special events. Expert Tip:   Transparency and responsiveness build loyalty. Let your community know you're listening and adapting. 11. Final Thoughts: The Hometown Advantage  Run It Back's story is a testament to the power of local roots, friendship, and a genuine desire to serve the community. By blending nostalgia with innovation, and prioritizing inclusivity and accessibility, Bill and Tony have created more than just a gaming lounge—they've built a new "third space" for Grayslake.

The Dirt Bike Kid (1985) Directed by David Zucker Starring: Peter Billingsley, Stuart Pankin, Patrick Collins, Chad SheetsThe Thing with Two Heads (1972) Directed by Lee Frost Starring: Ray Milland, Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier, Don Marshall, Roger PerryA haunted dirt bike and a racist surgeon's severed head walk into a double feature — honestly, what more do you need to know? This week we're kicking off a brand new segment on the show: once a month, we're pitting two deliriously stupid movies against each other in the same episode, and we couldn't think of a better place to start than a sentient magic dirt bike saving a hot dog stand and a two-headed man tearing across the countryside on that exact same bike. Buckle up, because dirt bikes and dickheads is officially our theme.In this episode, we discuss:A Bike Powered by Magic (and Child's Assholes) — We break down how a broke kid trades his grocery money for a supercharged, sentient dirt bike that flies, fights bulldozers, and somehow gets arrested by actual police. We argue about where this movie even takes place, why nobody questions a bike driving itself through town, and how this kid could've just eaten free hot dogs forever instead of going through all this trouble.The Most Trumpian Real Estate Scheme of 1985 — The real villain of Dirt Bike Kid isn't the bike, it's a sleazy banker inflating land values to steamroll a hot dog stand for his own bank. We get into the shockingly adult subtext buried in this PG kids movie, including Playboy magazines and a genuinely unhinged number of food fights.And in our next movie, The Thing with Two Heads:Two Heads, One Body, Zero Chill — We dive into the gloriously unhinged premise of a dying racist surgeon getting his head grafted onto a death row inmate's body, and somehow that's not even the weirdest part. The neck-brace special effects, the mismatched head makeup, and the sheer audacity of the mirror gag get the full breakdown.The Chase Scene That Just Won't End — We argue over exactly how long the climactic two-headed-man-on-a-dirt-bike police chase actually runs (10 minutes? 20?), and why it might be one of the most purely entertaining sequences either of us has watched for this show. Funk soundtrack included.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network at https://yourunpodcast.com.

Orlando Magic radio play-by-play voice Jake Chapman joins Hoopsology for an in-depth conversation about his unconventional path to the booth, the realities of modern sports broadcasting, and why he believes this could finally be the year the Magic break through. Jake opens with a personal memory — falling in love with basketball as a five-year-old in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, dribbling a black Magic Johnson basketball up and down the sidewalk for two years before his family even had a hoop. He traces his path away from playing and toward broadcasting back to high school, where a heavy football culture in northeastern Ohio pushed him toward theater and improv instead — and explains why those improv skills, particularly the instinct to listen and react rather than follow a script, became foundational to his work in the booth. From there, Jake walks through his full career arc: a graduate-associate internship with the Magic out of Ohio State, years spent as a radio producer rather than an on-air voice, stints with the Detroit Pistons and back home in Cleveland, and finally returning to Orlando in 2019 before stepping into play-by-play full-time five years ago. The conversation goes deep on the mechanics of the job most fans never think about — why so many NBA radio broadcasters now call games solo rather than with a traditional color analyst (mostly economics: travel costs and the difficulty of finding a consistent 82-game partner), how he handles explaining a controversial call or a lengthy replay review to listeners with zero visual context, and the philosophy behind being a proud "homer" without ever misrepresenting what actually happened on the floor. Jake also shares some of his most memorable broadcasting moments, including producing Eastern Conference Finals broadcasts at just 25 years old, his nerve-wracking first fill-in play-by-play call alongside Pistons legend Rick Mahorn, and a game last season he calls his most fun ever: calling an NBA Cup quarterfinal win over Miami alongside his mentor and now Magic TV voice, Dante Marchitelli. The episode closes with a wide-ranging look at the Magic's current outlook — the surprisingly deep, multi-layered rivalry with the Miami Heat, the team's genuinely global fanbase built through Orlando's tourism industry, and why Jake believes a wide-open Eastern Conference, a young core still developing, and the arrival of new head coach Sean Sweeney could finally push Orlando past its recent first-round ceiling.

Ken Wolf, Artistic Director of Manhattan Repertory Theatre in New York City, presents the 502 episode of THE PLAYWRITING PODCAST. Episode Story Topic: 500th Episode Compilation #3 - A Professor Albert Compilation! THE 500TH EPISODE CELEBRATION CONTINUES, AND PROFESSOR ALBERT IS BACK! This special compilation brings together some of my favorite Professor Albert moments from over the years, complete with his terrible German accent, enormous ego, questionable acting ability, attempts to replace me as host, and his never ending campaign to become an internationally famous motivational music superstar. But underneath all the insanity, there is some serious PLAYWRITING MAGIC going on. Professor Albert and I dive into creating compelling and incredibly specific characters, using people from your own life, combining characteristics from different people, creating opposites, building conflict, understanding what your characters want, exploring their inner and outer problems, and making choices that can transform characters on a page into living, breathing people on stage. And Professor Albert has one particularly important piece of advice. HAVE FUN! If you are having fun creating your characters, that creative spark can find its way into your play. This is playwriting learning served with a giant helping of ridiculousness. Professor Albert auditions for Hamlet, searches desperately for an agent, ties me up in various locations, hypnotizes you into becoming a better playwright, promotes himself relentlessly, and occasionally allows me to speak. Somehow, through all of this madness, there are some fantastic ideas you can immediately put to work in your own playwriting. So come celebrate 500 episodes of The Playwriting Podcast with Professor Albert and me. Have some fun. Learn something new. Get incredibly specific. Create characters that jump off the page. Take some chances. Make some MAGIC. And most importantly, never stop writing, never stop creating, and never stop being the wonderfully unique playwright that only YOU can be.  Listen Episode 502 and ALL 502 EPISODES of The Playwriting Podcast at https://www.howtowriteplays.com/ AND AT howtowriteplays I have my Playwriting Coaching and my Premiere Playwriting Coaching at an amazing 50% off this week only in celebration of 500 Episodes.

Algun problema?”, va dir ella amb un somriure irònic.En: “Good morning! Any problems?” she said with an ironic smile.Ca: “Sí, la meva maleta s'ha perdut", va dir Marcel, intentant mantenir-se tranquil.En: “Yes, my suitcase is missing," said Marcel, trying to stay calm.Ca: "És urgent."En: "It's urgent."Ca: Núria va consultar l'ordinador.En: Núria checked the computer.Ca: “Aquí diu que la seva maleta està arribant... al Japó", va dir entre rialles amagades.En: “It says here that your suitcase is arriving... in Japan," she said with suppressed laughter.Ca: Marcel va bufar.En: Marcel huffed.Ca: “Això és ridícul.”En: “This is ridiculous.”Ca: “De vegades les maletes volen més lluny del que esperem”, va bromejar Núria.En: “Sometimes suitcases travel farther than we expect,” joked Núria.Ca: Però el consol no va funcionar.En: But the consolation didn't work.Ca: Desesperat, va decidir buscar-la ell mateix.En: Desperate, he decided to search for it himself.Ca: A prop, Arnau, un home jove amb un barret de copa, estava entretingut fent trucs de màgia per un grup de viatgers.En: Nearby, Arnau, a young man with a top hat, was entertaining a group of travelers with magic tricks.Ca: Quan Marcel va haver passat al seu costat, Arnau, murri, va aixecar una maleta que semblava exactament com la de Marcel.En: As Marcel passed by, Arnau, slyly, lifted a suitcase that looked exactly like Marcel's.Ca: "Mira què tinc!", va exclamar.En: "Look what I have!" he exclaimed.Ca: Marcel, en veure-la, va córrer cap a ell.En: Marcel, seeing it, ran toward him.Ca: “És meva!”, va cridar, però Arnau fent desaparèixer un mocador amb un truc hàbil, va mantenir l'atenció del seu públic.En: “It's mine!”, he shouted, but Arnau, skillfully making a handkerchief disappear with a trick, kept his audience's attention.Ca: “Amic, just enmig de la funció?”, va preguntar Arnau amb un somriure de nen dolent.En: “Friend, right in the middle of the show?” Arnau asked with a mischievous smile.Ca: Després d'una petita discussió, Arnau finalment va donar la maleta a Marcel.En: After a brief discussion, Arnau finally gave the suitcase to Marcel.Ca: Quan la va obrir, va trobar-se amb mocadors de colors, barrets de conill i una vareta màgica.En: When he opened it, he found colorful handkerchiefs, rabbit hats, and a magic wand.Ca: Els nervis de Marcel es van desfer davant la cara mofeta d'Arnau.En: Marcel's nerves dissolved in the face of Arnau's cheeky grin.Ca: “Aquesta també és una sorpresa”, va dir Arnau amb un somriure genuí.En: “This is also a surprise,” said Arnau with a genuine smile.Ca: “La teva està allà, darrere de la taula.En: “Yours is over there, behind the table.Ca: Ho sento, va ser una confusió.”En: Sorry, it was a mix-up.”Ca: Amb l'ajuda d'Arnau, finalment va trobar la seva maleta real.En: With Arnau's help, he finally found his actual suitcase.Ca: Abans de marxar, Marcel va somriure a Núria, agraint-li la paciència, i va reconèixer que, potser, una mica d'imprevist no era tan dolent.En: Before leaving, Marcel smiled at Núria, thanking her for her patience, and acknowledged that perhaps a little bit of the unexpected wasn't so bad.Ca: Havia guanyat una història per explicar.En: He had gained a story to tell.Ca: Caminava cap a la seva reunió, una mica menys preocupat per estar sempre sota control, valorant les rialles inesperades i els nous amics en el camí.En: He walked toward his meeting, a little less concerned about always being in control, appreciating unexpected laughter and new friends along the way.
