Ever ignored a gut feeling on a date because you wanted to "give him a chance"? In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation from Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse — host Dr. Kerry McAvoy sits down with Dr. Jennie Young, a PhD linguist and creator of the viral Burned Haystack Dating Method, to break down how the words men use in dating profiles and early text messages expose who they really are before you've ever met in person. Dr. Young holds a PhD in rhetoric and discourse studies, specializing in critical discourse analysis — the study of how language reveals what people don't want you to know. In this episode, she shows you how to spot manipulation, love-bombing, and red flags in dating apps and texting before you invest your time and heart. If you're rebuilding trust in your own instincts and want practical tools for reading between the lines in online dating, this episode is for you.

What if joy wasn't something you had to wait for — but something you could actually adopt into your life?If you're rebuilding after divorce or navigating a recent loss and are quietly wondering whether you're allowed to feel good again while you're still grieving — this episode is for you.Most of us treat grief and joy as opposites, as if one has to end before the other can begin. My guest today gently dismantles that idea. Her argument is the reverse: your capacity for joy grows in direct proportion to the pain you've allowed yourself to experience. So the question isn't how to get past the grief — it's how to hold both at the same time.My guest is SC Perot. A Stanford Law graduate, Vanderbilt adjunct faculty member, and author of Styles of Joy. After the pandemic, a divorce, and a career shift that dismantled the life she'd planned, SC took a grief sabbatical that led her to 17 Harry Styles concerts across five countries in ten months — and to an entirely new understanding of what joy can look like after loss. In this conversation we explore the identity loss that quietly lives inside divorce grief, why escapism only works when it runs alongside doing the inner work, and the Japanese concept of borrowed views — a practice for turning jealousy into genuine delight in other people's good news. SC also shares her four-part CAPS framework for making joy a skill you build through repetition, and lays out what life after divorce can look like when you stop settling for just okay.In this episode, you'll learn:Why SC says the opposite of joyful is jealousy — and how you can catch envy before it takes holdWhat a grief break is, and how to tell it apart from bypassing your painHow happy music became part of SC's healing journey — and what it means to build a new soundtrack for a new lifeWhy sitting fully inside divorce grief expands your capacity for joyHow the doctrine of borrowed views lets you adopt other people's joy as your ownHow an abundance mindset replaces the scarcity story that someone else's good news means less for youThe 4-part CAPS framework — cultivate, adopt, protect, and spread — and which part trips people up mostHow SC's body told her it was time for a career pivot before her mind caught upWhy collective joy counteracts lonely grief — and where to find it without a concert ticketHow the three circles of connection — intimate, relational, and communal — protect you from loneliness after divorce or anytime.Whether you're deep in divorce recovery or simply carrying more than you expected this season — this conversation offers something rare: a concrete, compassionate path back to more joyful living and feeling like yourself again.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseConnect with me:Click here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoWebsiteInstagramSubstackWant to try somatic work for free?

PHP Podcast – August 13, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon Eric and John reunite after weeks apart to talk Laracon in Boston, more diverse voices coming to this time slot, CPX finally giving PHP an npx, a stripped-down PHPStorm Light, and PHP Tek’s extended CFP. Stepping Back to Make Room for More Voices Eric and John open by explaining a shift in the show: they’re not disappearing, but they’re stepping back a little so more people from the PHP Architect team can take the mic. As John put it, the goal is “more diverse voices of the community,” and folks like Joe, Sarah, and Holly have been stepping into this time slot. Eric and John have committed to appearing at least once a month, since they have the most holistic view of what’s happening across the company. When they’re on, expect the “inside baseball” episodes — the behind-the-scenes look at what PHP Architect is up to. The rest of the time, this slot will keep going with other hosts, so the show never goes dark. They also reminded listeners there’s both a live stream and an audio RSS feed. Some folks apparently only recently discovered the audio version, while longtime audio listeners never realize the show streams live. Either way, head to phparch.com, click on podcasts, and you’ll find every way to subscribe. Eric’s Laracon Boston Recap Eric attended Laracon in Boston and, as always, has a love/hate relationship with it. On the plus side, it’s where he catches up with a lot of friends, and the talks were solid — Pauline Voss gave a great presentation on JJ (Jujutsu) and atomic commits, and Nuno showed off Pest 5. Eric noted the framework itself is moving much slower now, which is actually a good thing for anyone running a business on it, even if it makes the conference less essential-viewing than it once was. The venue was industrial and good-looking with a fantastic stage setup, but seating was a genuine problem this year. Eric arrived late to Nuno’s talk and there was nowhere to sit; the team scrambled to bring in more chairs. When it rained on day two, they ran out again. Despite that, staying in the same hotel as folks like Eric Barnes, TJ, Jake Bennett, and Michael Dorinda made for the kind of hallway-and-breakfast camaraderie he values most. Eric also hit the social events he usually skips — he sat out dodgeball (bad knees, slip-on shoes, and being a big target), but went to the Laracon Prom, which required an RSVP and an approved request. It turned out to be way cooler than expected, with people fully decked out, DJs, and an after-party plus a VIP dinner where Laravel’s marketing team worked the room. He also caught up with folks like Matthew Weier O’Phinney of Zend/Perforce and had a chat with Taylor. Running the Laravel Magazine Site and Taylor’s Blessing Eric shared that PHP Architect is now running the Laravel Magazine website, which previously belonged to Marijn (Marion) Pop. He’s been publishing tutorials, keeping things current, and making changes to the site he’s proud of. The articles are short, quick reads — and one of the Laravel wrap-up pieces mirrors the same article on the PHP Architect site. At the after-party dinner, Eric took the opportunity to run the name past Taylor directly, since he wasn’t sure the original owner had ever gotten official approval to use the Laravel name for a magazine. Taylor’s response was essentially “that’s fine, don’t worry about it” — so Laravel Magazine lives on. Eric even set up a newsletter signup, though he admits he’s not sure yet whether he’ll actually send a newsletter. CPX — A PHP-World npx One of Eric’s favorite discoveries from Laracon was CPX, essentially the PHP equivalent of npx. Just as npx lets you run JavaScript packages without installing them into a specific project, CPX lets you run tools without a global composer install or a per-project dependency. Eric already swapped his global PHP CS Fixer and Laravel Pint setup over to CPX aliases, so he now always runs the latest version without dependency headaches. John pushed back a bit, pointing out that tools like PHP unit and Rector usually live in your vendor directory anyway because your CI pipeline depends on them. Eric agreed that’s a valid workflow, but framed CPX as ideal for the occasional-use tools and for lowering the barrier for people outside the PHP world who want to dip in without fully committing. Chat chimed in with Rector as a great CPX use case, and they walked through examples like spinning up a fresh Laravel app. Laravel LSP and PHP Storm Light Eric was genuinely excited that Laravel now has its own Language Server Protocol. Most IDEs had already built their own Laravel-aware workarounds, but for Eim’s Neovim setup, the LSP finally makes things like jumping from a route to the view it points to work correctly — something PHP Storm had solved long ago but Vim hadn’t. He also spotted something called PHP Storm Light at the JetBrains booth: a trimmed-down, experimental build with faster startup, lower memory, and fewer features. It’s available through the Toolbox app as an EAP, so it’s free and explicitly experimental. John, who’d been hitting memory limits in regular PHP Storm, decided to install it on the spot, and Joe mentioned using it for one-off file edits — sparking a conversation about whether it fills the gap left by JetBrains’ old standalone editor. PHP Tek CFP Extended + Ticket Options John announced that the PHP Tek call for speakers has been extended through October 31st. The team experimented with opening the CFP very early this year to help attendees whose fiscal-year approvals depend on a locked schedule, but the community felt it was too early to know what would be relevant next April. So they extended the window and made cfp.phptek.io point straight to the call for presenters (thanks to a suggestion from A. Woods). On tickets, they’ve broken out a bundle that includes hotel nights so attendees can hand their boss a single lump-sum figure (airfare not included). There are also food-and-beverage-only tickets for partners and kids, single-day track options, and dedicated days for Laravel, JavaScript, and DevOps — one track each, with the other two tracks running the usual PHP Tek content. John flagged a possible issue with DevOps being the default CFP track, since it’s pulling in a flood of generic, seemingly AI-submitted talks he’ll need to sort through.

Hey Mama, As we head into back-to-school season, it's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we need to fit everything into our already full schedules. New routines, school drop-offs, sports, homework, work deadlines, and family responsibilities all seem to arrive at once. But this week, I want to challenge you to think about things differently. Instead of asking yourself, "How am I going to fit it all in?" what if you asked: "What deserves a place in my life this season?" Every season of motherhood is different. As our children grow, our schedules change, and our responsibilities evolve, our priorities have to evolve too. In this episode, I encourage you to stop trying to squeeze more into your days and instead make intentional space for the things that matter most. In This Episode: Why September often feels so overwhelming A simple mindset shift to reduce stress before the school year begins Why every season of motherhood requires different priorities How to create more balance by making intentional choices instead of trying to do it all This week's Monday Mindset Challenge This Week's Mindset Shift "Stop trying to fit more into your life, and start making more room for what matters most." This Week's Challenge Take five minutes to look at your calendar for the week ahead. Instead of asking, "Where can I fit one more thing?" ask yourself: "What deserves a place in my life this season?" Then challenge yourself to remove, postpone, or say "no" to one thing that no longer aligns with your priorities. Sometimes creating balance isn't about finding more time—it's about making more room for what matters most. ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Make Room: Week 2 - Make Room Part 2 / Pastor Jeff Bowman by Hope City Church
What happens when one of the country's sharpest mathematical minds decides that being brilliant isn't enough, that the real work is holding power accountable?In this episode of B the Way Forward, host Brenda Darden Wilkerson sits down with Cathy O'Neil, mathematician, data scientist, founder of the algorithmic auditing firm ORCAA, and author of the landmark book Weapons of Math Destruction, which exposed how opaque algorithms amplify inequality across hiring, credit, criminal justice, and beyond.Cathy's path has been anything but linear: from PhD mathematician to Wall Street quant to Occupy Wall Street activist to public critic of the very systems she once helped build. She has spent the decade since her book's publication doing the unglamorous, legally constrained, financially risky work of algorithmic auditing, turning down lucrative clients whose ethics didn't pass the "can I tell my kids about this?" test, and founding a new nonprofit, Ocean, focused on AI child safety.Brenda and Cathy unpack what it actually costs to follow your conscience in tech, why urgency is a deliberate ethical bypass strategy, why AI is not a math problem, and why the window for federal AI regulation is coming faster than most people think. This is a conversation about accountability, clarity, and what it really means to channel something bigger than yourself.Connect with Cathy on http://mathbabe.org/contactWe Learned About:Why "big data" and "AI" are marketing terms engineered to evoke trust rather than describe something objective, and why that matters for how we regulate themWhat it felt like from the inside to work as a Wall Street quant building models that front-ran California teachers' pension funds, and why Cathy's body gave out before her brain caught upHow Occupy Wall Street taught a pure mathematician that race, sex, and class were not distractions from the financial crisis but the actual storyWhy the lack of accountability, not the technology itself, is the core problem with algorithmic systems deciding who gets a job, a loan, or a prison sentenceHow urgency is used as a deliberate strategy by the tech industry to bypass ethical reflection, and Cathy's triage framework for responding to it anywayChapters:0:00 Introduction & Season Theme1:00 Meet Cathy O'Neil, Author of Weapons of Math Destruction2:00 What "Big Data" and "AI" Actually Mean: Marketing, Hype, and Misplaced Trust4:00 The Lack of Accountability That Drove Cathy to Write Her Book5:30 Starting ORCAA: Trying to Make Algorithms Comply With Anti-Discrimination Law7:00 From Naive Quant to Activist: The Financial Crisis That Changed Everything8:30 What Occupy Wall Street Taught a Mathematician About Race, Class, and Power11:00 When Cathy's Body Knew Before Her Brain Did: Leaving Finance13:00 Front-Running Teachers' Pensions and the Moment It Became Real15:00 Practices and Boundaries That Keep Cathy Grounded Now16:00 The "Can I Tell My Kids About This?"

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and discuss how friendship with others leads us into deeper intimacy with God. We talk about our longing for both human and divine communion, how healthy friendships free us from self-preoccupation, and why learning to receive feedback is essential to our growth. We also reflect on how unmet desires in friendship are signs of our longing for the Trinity and the importance of releasing lesser goods so that we can be free to receive God's greater gifts. Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon). Journal Questions: What makes me feel at home with the Trinity? How has God invited me to be a more faithful friend? Where do I need to grow in self-awareness and be freed from self-preoccupation? What is my disposition when someone lovingly reveals my own weaknesses and shortcomings to me? How have I refused to grow? Discussion Questions: What makes you feel at home with other people? How is God inviting you into deeper communion with others? How has the Lord revealed to you your weaknesses and shortcomings? How did you receive that truth from Him? How have you given into sloth by seeking God's lesser gifts and ignoring His greater gifts? Quote to Ponder: "In a special way, Christian friendship is meant to help us grow in our relationship with the Lord, as one intimately loved by him. It is meant to give us some small experience of what it means to be at home in communion with the Holy Trinity. Only in intimacy with the Lord are we the deepest "who we are." Only in communion with him are we our truest selves." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 77) Scripture for Lectio: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

A revival worth praying for begins with the courage to repair what our words have broken. We open with a clear vision—restore—and press into a hard truth: the church often treats sexual sin as fatal while giving gossip, criticism, and slander a pass. That double standard chokes reconciliation, drives repentant people into the arms of communities that feel safer, and delays the prodigal awakening we claim to want.We walk through the biblical case for restoration, naming how James, Proverbs, Galatians, and the Gospels confront tailbearing and devouring. Then we move from conviction to craft. What does a real path home look like? Honor for the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers—so correction and compassion live together. Spirit-led leadership that disciplines without destroying. Practical repair that goes beyond a vague apology: call the person you maligned, retract the rumor with those you misled, and refuse to fuel the fire with fresh wood.Along the way, we share a raw personal story about a false report that lingered for years, showing how lies shadow a life long after the moment passes. The lesson is not to go soft on sin; it's to go strong on mercy. We are not called to accuse like Satan or judge like God. We are called to restore, reconcile, and protect the anointed so gifts can flourish and prodigals can find their way home. If we want stadiums and cities to open, our mouths must open to bless, not to bruise.Join us as we trade rumor for repentance, suspicion for shepherding, and division for Spirit-led unity. Subscribe, share this with a leader who needs it, and leave a review with one action you'll take to make restoration real this week.We love to hear from our listeners!

Send us Fan MailYou know that person. The one whose calendar makes your chest tighten just looking at it. Rental properties, a business, a podcast, three kids, a full social life, and somehow they still seem like themselves. You've asked them how they do it. Maybe you've even asked yourself why you can't.Sami and Angela get this question constantly, and this week they're finally answering it for real. Not with a productivity hack or a 5am routine. With the actual, sometimes uncomfortable truth about what capacity really means, why some people have a dinner plate and others have a dessert plate, and how big rocks, batching, and a whole lot of outsourcing keep two very full lives from falling apart. In this episode, we dig into:Permission to stop feeling guilty for hiring out the things you hate doingA new way to think about why some weeks feel impossible and others don'tClarity on the difference between a busy life and a full oneFreedom to say no to things that don't bring you joy, even the ones you're “supposed” to doA practical way to decide what actually gets your time firstAngela walks through the rocks, pebbles, and sand story that's shaped how she plans her entire year, and gets honest about the two things she credits most for her capacity: outsourcing (she's had help with her schedule and her house for almost her whole marriage) and simply not doing things that don't bring her joy. Sami shares the moment she realized she'd been quietly hiding parts of her life from a close friend, not out of dishonesty but out of care for what that friend could handle, and what happened when she decided to let her all the way in. They also get into the meal-planning fight nobody wins at 5pm, why batching the things you don't love saves more than just time, and Barry's blunt “go do something joyful” moment that didn't land the way he meant it to.If you've ever felt like capacity is something you either have or you don't, this episode is going to feel like relief. It's not about doing more. It's about deciding, on purpose, what gets to take up space in your life first, and giving yourself permission to let everything else be optional.Press play on this one now.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Rachel S. Heslin, author, speaker, and student of the psychology of identity and human experience for more than four decades.Rachel is the author of Navigating Life: 8 Different Strategies to Guide Your Way and Rituals of Release: How to Make Room for Your New Life, both available in multiple languages. Her TEDx talk, "A Defense of Victim Mentality," turns condemnation into compassion in just six minutes, and hints at the kind of thinking she brings to territory most of us prefer to avoid. This month brings the release of her newest work, Hearts Are Meant to Be Broken: A New Approach to Grief, a book that could not be arriving at a more needed moment.Rachel's exploration of grief did not come from theory. It came from paying close attention to what happens in a life when loss, of any kind, is not given room to move through us. In her new book, she pushes back on the tidy stages and cultural timelines we have inherited, and offers instead an approach that honors grief as something we are meant to feel deeply rather than manage efficiently. Her title carries the whole thesis: hearts are meant to be broken, not as damage, but as opening. Loss, when met rather than avoided, can crack us into a wider, more honest, more tender version of ourselves.Together, Sam and Rachel explore why our current cultural approach to grief has left so many people quietly disconnected from their own hearts, and what becomes possible when we let loss teach us instead of trying to move past it. They discuss why this conversation matters more now than perhaps ever, in a world carrying so much collective and personal loss, and how a different relationship with grief can shift not only our healing but our capacity to love. This episode is an invitation to soften around what has broken you, to trust that the heart knows how to grieve when we finally let it, and to consider that what breaks us open may be what allows us to become whole.Tune in and share your own questions and comments about grief on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.https://amzn.to/4vdu2C0https://amzn.to/3T2Bsumhttps://amzn.to/4eNt8r6www.thefullnessofyourpower.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Most of us don't realize that the pauses, pruning, and slowdowns in our lives are actually signs of growth ...if we choose to see them that way. In this powerful episode, Jay Love uncovers how what feels like setbacks or delays are, in fact, strategic steps toward your next level. Inspired by biblical wisdom and practical business principles, she reveals how to identify when you're merging into your destiny versus being abruptly cut back, and why both are essential for healthy growth.#GrowthMindset #PruningSeason #DivineDesign #FaithInAction

You Can Make Room for Joy — Episode 78 A gentle reminder that joy is not a luxury — it's a birthright. In this episode, we explore why so many of us have forgotten how to feel good, how joy and pain can coexist, and how to start letting light back in — one small moment at a time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SHOW NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Opening — Welcome back [00:45] Settling In — You are okay right now [02:30] The Theme Part One — Why we blocked joy [06:00] The Theme Part Two — Joy and pain can coexist [08:00] Breathwork — Breathing together [09:00] Affirmations Part One — Permission to feel joy [09:45] Affirmations Part Two — You are worthy of joy [10:00] Closing — Let joy in ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EPISODE SUMMARY Many of us learned somewhere along the way that joy is dangerous — that if we let ourselves feel too good, something bad will follow. We built walls around happiness and convinced ourselves we'd feel it later, after everything was fixed. But joy doesn't require perfection. It doesn't need your permission slip to be signed. It's already yours. This episode is a gentle invitation to stop blocking the light and start letting it in — even in the middle of the hard stuff. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AFFIRMATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE • You are allowed to feel joy even when life is hard • You are allowed to laugh even when you're healing • You are allowed to celebrate small things without feeling silly • You do not need to earn your joy through suffering first • Your joy does not minimize your pain • You are not selfish for wanting joy • You are worthy of joy — right now, today, exactly as you are ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your Quiet Moment — A pocket of peace in your day.

Something can begin with excitement—a job, project, relationship, or even a vacation—and gradually become exhausting. When the initial energy disappears, we may begin asking why we are doing it at all. In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore burnout, overstimulation, and the need to step away long enough to recover our sense of meaning and purpose.Rest is not simply escaping, numbing ourselves, or replacing one form of stimulation with another. A genuine reset creates room for the mind and heart to settle. Vacations, retreats, holy hours, daily breaks, and even a few quiet minutes can interrupt repetitive mental pathways and help us return to our responsibilities with greater creativity, gratitude, and intentionality.Father offers a practical way to begin. Set aside the time, disconnect from unnecessary stimulation, breathe, and allow racing thoughts to pass without following every one. Notice what is happening inside—anxiety, excitement, sadness, gratitude, or exhaustion—then bring it into a relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Father, or a trusted saint. Christian reflection is not merely emptying the mind; it is making space for conversation with the God who already cares about everything we carry.Key IdeasBurnout does not always mean the work is wrong; sometimes we need rest to remember why it matters.A real vacation or reset creates space rather than filling every moment with more activity and stimulation.Smaller rhythms of reflection—a lunch break, evening review, holy hour, or quiet morning—can prevent exhaustion from accumulating.Settling takes patience: allow thoughts to pass, notice your interior state, and resist the urge to solve everything immediately.Christian silence is relational. We create room not for emptiness alone, but to listen, speak honestly, and invite God into daily life.Links & ReferencesNone explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

In a world filled with notifications, deadlines, responsibilities, and endless distractions, how do we make room for what matters most? In Week 4 of our Make Room series, Pastor Shea Strickland explores the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 and reveals a powerful truth: the greatest threat to our spiritual lives is often not sin, but distraction. Discover how responsibility can quietly pull us away from the presence of God, why distraction often leads to anxiety, and how worship begins by intentionally choosing Jesus over everything competing for our attention. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or spiritually distracted, this message will challenge and encourage you to slow down, refocus your heart, and choose the better part
Jeff and Andy talk about what the Cavaliers could do in order to bring LeBron James back home to Cleveland.
True worship is more than a song or a moment—it is the wholehearted surrender of our lives to God. In 2 Samuel 6:14–22, David worships before the Lord with complete abandon, dancing "with all his might" despite the criticism and judgment of others. His example reminds us that worship is first and foremost about honoring God, not managing the opinions of people. Romans 12:1 expands this idea by calling believers to offer their entire lives as a living sacrifice, making worship a daily posture of surrender rather than merely a weekly practice. As we break free from the fear of man and embrace authentic expressions of love for God, we discover a deeper freedom and intimacy with Him. God is pleased by hearts that value His presence above personal comfort, public perception, or cultural expectations.

Whatever it is that God wants to achieve, there is a character requirement for the manifestation of it. Pastor Bankie calls believers to “magnify God” in every aspect of life, making room for God's glory. He urges us to reject bitterness and grumbling, and to stop justifying what needs correction, because God holds us responsible for refusing His remedy.
With her wedding just weeks away, a young woman calls Esther with a question she's been carrying for most of her life: how do you allow yourself joy when you've learned to make yourself small? Growing up alongside a non-speaking autistic brother taught her to be vigilant, self-effacing, and attuned to everyone else's needs. Joy and celebration have always come with guilt. As the wedding approaches, those old patterns threaten to keep her on emotional eggshells during one of the most meaningful days of her life. Together, they explore what it means to grow up as the “easy” child, and how claiming space does not betray the people we love. Esther Callings are a one time, 45-60 minute interventional phone call with Esther. They are edited for time, clarity, and anonymity.

A gay man's female friend is planning her wedding. But the relationship is already a disaster, and the caller does NOT approve of this union. Should he still help her choose a wedding dress? A bi man got into a cat fight with a guy on one of the hook-up apps when he wasn't polite enough about ending a conversation. Is there a social contract on gay hook-up apps? On the Magnum, Dan chats with Dr. Jennie Young, author of Burn the Haystack: Decode Dating, Torch the Duds, and Make Room for Men Who Matter. Her feminist, pragmatic approach to dating for straight women is blunt and hilarious. She talks about her method for brutally winnowing down the list of men, how dating apps are addictive by design, and (counterintuitively,) why the man should plan the first date. Don't miss this one! And, a man asks for logistical advice on how to plan the abduction scene his wife desires. What could possibly go wrong? Maybe she'll call and tell us how it went! 206-302-2064 Q@Savage.Love And remember: Every sperm is sacred. This episode is brought to you by VB Health, Doctor-formulated supplements that work .
