With political tensions at a new peak, the pressure to take a stand — or keep the peace — can be intense. But how do you know the difference between the move that feels right and the one that is right? In our first episode after a long break, Mónica, a liberal, talks with her conservative friend and fellow bridge builder April Lawson about what it takes to know what’s truly yours to do at this moment. Drawing on ideas from people who’ve seen the best and worst of humanity, along with their own struggles to navigate what feels like an increasingly scary world, Moni and April explore how to step out of the heat long enough to ask: How do I avoid using "peacemaking" as a cover for a lack of courage? What's the line between humanizing someone … and enabling them? When it comes to division in my community, my family, and my country: What will I wish I had done when my grandchildren ask what I did?

When it comes to music for children, few people truly have their histories shine through than those of educators. You see, it's in the history of being an educator you develop an innate instinct into the world of children. Their capabilities, their understandings and also, what makes them tick. However, even in this world of educators turned performers, few have so successfully traversed the boarders as successfully as my next guest. In only a few short years in the spotlight but a long time in the classroom, Ms Moni has become a household name, and seemingly only grows from strength to strength. And when watching her work it's not hard to understand why. You see Monica has the innate ability to understand children. Her music, her presence, her education, her considered and meticulously thought-out content makes her ones of this country's true magicians of this work and between you and I, nothing can compare you for the length of the lines of the adoring waiting fans, that develop when she is town. She is Marvel, and in such short time, and luckily, I have her here today to fill us in on the rise and rise of Miss Moni. The post ‘Show me the Moni’ appeared first on Benny Time.

Returning for a 3rd episode and to help us get closer to our 10th anniversary, Arizona cosplayer and creator Sara Moni Cosplay joins me. We originally recorded an episode in 2016 during my first year, and then she returned in 2020. Now here we are, reflecting on the past, present, and futures of our fandoms and passions. We kick things off with a through line through our previous conversations, as we once again return to the X-Men. We talk about the past several years of X-Men media, from movies like New Mutants, to X-Men 97, and the inclusion of X-Men characters in the MCU. Sara and I discuss what could be coming in the MCU with Doomsday, and what she'd like to see from the future of the X-Men and other mutants in the MCU. Sara and I also dip our toes into the comics by talking about the Krakoa run. From there, we talk about something new. Monster High doll collecting. We talk about how Sara's gotten into this new space of fandom and how her collection has grown and the process of adding to the collection. Plus, we talk about the characters lend themselves well to be cosplayed. We wrap up with a great overview of what Sara is doing now. We talk about her recent addition of streaming on Twitch to all the content she creates. Sara talks about what you can expect to find on her Twitch streams (which are really neat to sit and listen/watch). We also talk about her social media, her continued time in Cosplay over the past 10 years since I've been following her, and we reflect on the closure of JoAnn and how it has affected the cosplay community since.

“Mun mielestä on jollain tavalla itsetuntoa nostattavaa, että joku maksaa mulle kaks ja puol sataa euroa siitä, että saa tunnin verran kuherrella mun kanssa. Sitten kun se itsetunto jotenkin nousee, niin sitä ehkä muuallakin on vähän itsevarmempi [...]."(Haastattelusitaatti Jaana Ahtiaisen pro gradu -työstä, 2020.) Suomessa seksi- ja erotiikka-alan työntekijöihin suhtaudutaan yleensä joko tahdottomina uhreina tai emansipoituneina toimijoina. Tässä jaksossa tuomme moniäänisyyttä seksityökeskusteluun folkloristiikan väitöskirjatutkija Jaana Ahtiaisen kanssa. Jaana tutkii Helsingin yliopistossa suomalaista seksi- ja erotiikka-alaa muistitiedon, työn, seksuaalisuuden ja kulttuuristen asenteiden näkökulmasta. Hän on aloittanut yhdessä Työväen Arkiston kanssa muistitietokeruun Muisteltu seksityö, jossa kertynyttä aineistoa hän analysoi väitöskirjassaan. Jaksossa keskustellaan esim. alan sukupuolittuneisuudesta, sen sisäisistä hierarkioista ja seksityön kentällä tapahtuneista muutoksista. Jaana kertoo myös siitä, mikä aineistossa on tällä hetkellä ilahduttanut, ja siitä, miksi muistitietotutkimus sopii erityisen hyvin seksityötutkimukseen. Jakson alussa luetut sitaatit ovat blogista Tuhannen dollarin tyttö (https://tuhannendollarintytto.blogspot.com), jota Jaana analysoi osana graduaan. Jakson ovat toimittaneet: Heli Hannus ja Veera Leinonen.

More Than a Milspouse: Entrepreneurship, Community, and Not Waiting with Moni Host Ashley returns to the Ruck Up Buttercup podcast after a break and welcomes back guest Moni, an Air Force spouse whose family recently transitioned out of the military and is navigating the learning curve of retirement and new insurance while enjoying reduced stress and more family stability. Moni shares her shift from building military life apps to growing a public relations agency and founding the Association of Military Spouse Entrepreneurs (AMSE) in 2019 to provide a verified, supportive, 24/7 online community for military spouse business owners focused on collaboration, resources, and making money. They discuss how entrepreneurship can address underemployment, identity challenges, and flexibility through validating offers, pivoting, volunteering to build skills, and using platforms beyond social media. Moni previews the third annual More Than a Milspouse Summit (Oct 7–9 in Arlington, Texas) and closes with advice: don't wait. 00:00 Welcome Back Update 01:41 Moni Returns 02:56 Retirement Transition 05:17 From Apps to Agency 07:11 Why AMSE Started 11:26 Entrepreneurship Identity 14:27 AMSE Membership Portal 16:31 Elevating Spouse Voices 21:00 Social Media vs Community 24:32 Advice to Start Now 30:33 Volunteer To Break In 31:04 Self Taught Remote Skills 32:12 Winging It And Pivoting 34:35 Support Spouses Simply 34:59 Social Media As SEO 38:33 No Gatekeeping Community 40:17 Barriers And Passive Income 42:37 LinkedIn And Confidence 44:28 More Than A Milspouse Summit 51:13 Summit Details And Tickets 54:25 Final Advice Dont Wait Find Moni Here: Website: https://amseagency.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/amseage IG : https://www.instagram.com/amseagency/ncy LI :https://www.linkedin.com/company/assocofmilitaryspouseentrepreneurs/?viewAsMember=true TW: @theamseagency Reach Ashley at ashleybrown@deployedlove.org

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 106 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Čím víc se do toho člověk ponoří, tím horší věci najde na všech možných stranách,“ říká šéfredaktor Reflexu Martin Bartkovský o současné politice. Štve ho podle něj hlavně to, že se debata nevede o řešeních, ale o zástupných tématech. „Bavíme se o vlastně hrozně nepodstatných věcech,“ říká a dodává, že by si přál, aby se politika vrátila ke konkrétním věcem, které chtějí politici dělat. Marie Bastlová ze Seznam Zpráv ale připomíná, že zástupná témata byla v politice vždycky, protože jsou zábavnější, víc klikací a přitahují více pozornosti. V rozhovoru mluví i o tom, proč má podle ní smysl zvát do studia i politiky, kteří pak mohou působit nekompetentně nebo směšně. „Chceme ukázat, kdo nám vládne,“ říká Bastlová a vysvětluje, že když vládní špičky do rozhovorů nechodí, je důležité ptát se alespoň lidí, kteří tvoří vládní většinu. Bartkovský k tomu dodává, že nejde o legraci, protože i zdánlivě bizarní poslanci mají reálnou moc ovlivňovat životy úplně každého z nás. Oba mluví i o Andreji Babišovi a o tom, zda je slabý premiér, nebo mu současný chaos naopak vyhovuje. „Andrej Babiš dobře ví, co dělá. Dělá to úplně úmyslně,“ říká Bastlová a dodává, že spousta přestřelek a kauz mu podle ní vyhovuje, protože se pak neřeší jiné věci. Podstatné jsou podle ní změny pravidel, které mohou vypadat technicky a nudně, ale ve výsledku docela mění způsob vlády nad zemí. Jde podle ní o větší moc a o její snazší výkon té větší moci. Bartkovský varuje před zákony, které podle něj mohou znamenat prolamování advokátního tajemství nebo budování „ekonomické StB“. „To fakt není sranda,“ říká. Zároveň ale odmítá, že by za vším musel být hluboký plán. „Za většinou těch věcí není žádný hlubší smysl. Je to jenom shit show, kterou sledujeme,“ říká. Bastlová upozorňuje i na práci se strachem a negativní náladou. „Tyhle démoni jsou přece vždycky nebezpeční,“ říká a dodává, že se s nimi v kampani pracuje snáz. Mluví se i o veřejnoprávních médiích, Václavu Moravcovi, slabinách opozice a Petru Pavlovi jako možné protiváze vlády. Co všechno se podle nich děje za „pěnou dní“? Proč je pro novináře čím dál těžší dostat politiky k odpovědím? A kdo by mohl být kandidátem ANO na prezidenta? I to se dozvíte v rozhovoru.

Welcome back! This week the ladies dive into "The Drama", the uncomfortable, anxiety-inducing A24 film starring  Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. What starts as an awkward romantic drama about an engaged couple heading into their wedding week, quickly spirals into something much darker after a “worst thing you've ever done” conversation goes completely off the rails. Emma reveals a disturbing part of her teenage past, and that one confession detonates the relationship, the "friend"group, and the entire wedding weekend. We break down the film's tense atmosphere, uncomfortable chemistry, and the bigger conversations surrounding alienation, radical honesty, identity, and whether people should be permanently defined by their teenage years. We also discuss how the movie intentionally challenges audience expectations by centering a Black woman in a narrative typically associated with a very different demographic, and whether that changes the level of empathy viewers are willing to extend. If you watched this movie and immediately needed to unpack all of that emotional chaos with somebody, this episode is for you. Cheers!

Noniin nyt pienen hiljaiselon jälkeen, Lucasfilm julkaisee uuden Star Wars elokuvan, joka jatkaa Mandalorialisen nimeltä Din Djarin ja tämän suojatin Grogun tarinaa. Eli nyt arvostelussa Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu elokuva, joka tuli juuri ensi-iltaan. Moni kanavan seuraaja tietää, että olen iso Star Wars fani, joten pitihän tämäkin heti nähdä. Mutta miten tämä toimi? Onko Mandosta elokuvaksi? Vai olisiko tämän pitänyt olla vain uusi kausi? Entä miten tarina toimi? Tai leffa noin yleensä? Näihin haetaan vastauksia arvostelusta. Oletko nähnyt tämän? Tai aiotko mennä katsomaan? Mitä mieltä, jos olet nähnyt? Mistä sinä haluaisit nähdä seuraavaksi Star Wars leffaa?

¿Qué pasa cuando las leyes de protección animal se enfrentan a la realidad del sistema de justicia? En Criminalmente, nos acompaña la abogada litigante Sofía Morín, que junto a Fermex analizan la controversia sobre el refugio Los Franciscanitos en Santa Fe y repasan los expedientes mediáticos de violencia animal que paralizaron a México.

Welcome back! This week the ladies jump head first in the "The Cult of NatureBoy", a four-part docuseries that premiered on Hulu (and Disney+) on April 28, 2026. The series, produced by ABC News Studios and Zandland, chronicles the rise and fall of Eligio Bishop, a social media influencer known as "NatureBoy," who founded a controversial cult called Carbon Nation. We break down the rise and fall of NatureBoy, the formation of Carbon Nation, the cult dynamics at play, and how social media helped build a following in plain sight. From charisma and community to manipulation, control, and criminal consequences, this docuseries raises big questions about internet influence, vulnerability, and what happens when “finding yourself” turns into something much darker. If you watched the doc and needed somewhere to process all of that chaos, this episode is for you. Cheers!

Moni meistä haluaa olla aito, mutta “ole vain oma itsesi” ei oikeasti ole kovin hyvä neuvo.Mentalrace podcastin tämän viikon vieraana on Pekka Tölli, jolta on juuri tullut ulos kirja Miten olla minä. Tässä jaksossa käsitellään kirjan ytimessä olevaa aitouden ja mukautumisen ristiriitaa.Keskustelemme siitä, miten nykykulttuuri korostaa riippumattomuutta ja “välittämättömyyttä” muiden mielipiteistä, ja siitä, mitä haittaa tästä voi olla.Miten haitallinen ja hyödyllinen aitous eroavat toisistaan? Miksi meidän ei koskaan kannata olla täysin suodattamattoman aito? Miten päteminen ja miellyttäminen molemmat liittyvät mukautumiseen? Missä kohtaa terve mukautuminen muuttuu itsensä hylkäämiseksi?Jakso yhdistää Heikin ja Pekan henkilökohtaisia kokemuksia, psykologiaa ja käytännön näkökulmia siihen, miten parempi itsetuntemus ja joustavuus voivat auttaa elämään enemmän omannäköistä elämää ilman, että yhteys muihin katoaa.Tämä jakso on sinulle, jos huomaat miellyttäväsi liikaa, pohdit kuka olet muiden odotusten keskellä, tai jos haluat oppia olemaan aidompi tavalla, joka rohkaisee myös muita olemaan omia itsejänsä.Laita kanavaa tilaukseen, arvostele ja kommentoi jos sisältö resonoi, tämä auttaa meitä paljon levittämään inhimillisen erinomaisuuden ilosanomaa. Kiitos kuuntelemisesta ja tuesta!

Pradėjusią savaitę pasirodžiusi visuomenės apklausa apie tai, kodėl žmonės nenori turėti vaikų, sulaukė sociologų kritikos dėl esą per mažų skaičių analizei.

Tiesa, praėjusią savaitę Josvainių bendruomenei surengti pirmosios pagalbos mokymai dalyvių sulaukė, žmonių atėjo ir į Josvainių gimnazijoje surengtus mokymus mokytojams apie išvykimo kuprinę. Tačiau Raudonojo Kryžiaus savanoriai sako, kad išties kai kuriuose Lietuvos regionuose žmones prisikviesti sudėtinga.Ved. Liuda Kudinova

Today, I share 24 hard-earned lessons from 24 years of marriage, from building love maps to repairing after conflict. The biggest shift comes when we stop trying to be right and start choosing curiosity, clear requests, and respect for our differences. • love is something we build intentionally rather than find • updating love maps as we both keep changing • harmony, disharmony, and repair as the normal relationship cycle • trust built through repair instead of easy seasons • arguments as signals of deeper needs to be seen and valued • choosing understanding over being right, including yes and language • two subjective realities and why curiosity creates compassion • intimacy shaped by daily connection, playfulness, and freedom from pressure • stop hinting and testing, start making clear requests and teaching your partner how to love you • avoiding apathy with small consistent effort • aiming for an intimate friendship and passionate partnership • honoring differences as the source of passion and a path to intimacy If this episode resonates with you, please reach out.

Ką daryti, kai mano draugai ne tokie, kokių norėčiau. Ir ką daryti, jei jų apskritai nebeturiu. Šiame epizode – pirmą kartą išleidžiamame ir video formatu – Laura ir Jonė kalba apie draugystę suaugus. Apie etapą, kai draugystės nebevyksta savaime, o ima reikalauti pastangos. Tiesumas čia atsiskleidžia kaip priemonė kurti ir išlaikyti ryšį net tada, kai instinktyviai norisi pasislėpti ir neatskleisti savo žmogiškumo.

Welcome back FAB friends, this week the ladies reviewed one of the most important and enduring books of the 20th century. "Their Eyes Were Watching God" brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years, due largely to initial audiences' rejection of its strong black female protagonist, Hurston's classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. The story follows Janie's journey from a voiceless teenage girl to a self-actualized woman through three marriages in the American South. Tune in to hear why this book is so beloved by the hosts.

In this episode, the hosts take a peek at the Season 3 premiere of Euphoria and immediately clock a dramatic tonal shift. With a 4–5 year time jump pushing the characters out of high school and into early adulthood, the glossy, dreamlike aesthetic of earlier seasons gives way to something more raw, gritty, and unfiltered. The episode feels less like stylized chaos and more like a stark plunge into the “wild west” of adulthood. The conversation unpacks the show's signature graphic intensity, questioning whether this new edge signals deeper storytelling or leans too heavily into shock value. The hosts also wrestle with how the women are portrayed in this new chapter. Are these characters being developed with more nuance, or are they still framed through a lens of fantasy and fetishization? As always, the review balances humor, honesty, and cultural critique, asking whether Euphoria is evolving with its characters… or just getting darker with age.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

This week, the hosts explore There There by Tommy Orange. The book intertwines the stories of twelve urban Native characters in Oakland, California. It's a powerful, character-driven novel weaving together lives that at first seem separate, but gradually reveal deep and unexpected connections, all leading to a pivotal and gut wrenching event. As the narrative unfolds, the book explores the lasting impact of generational trauma, cultural erasure, and the search for connection in a modern world. Did the ladies keep every detail perfectly straight? Not quite...but did that stop them? Not even a little. The discussion, much like the book, is layered, complex, and and a lot to juggle all at once.

This week, the hosts dive into The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and for once, they don't see eye to eye. In a rare twist, one host connected with the book while the other didn't, not because of the story itself, but because of its unique vignette-style format. Even with that divide, the conversation proves why this modern classic continues to resonate, sparking thoughtful discussion around voice, identity, and storytelling. You'll have to tune in to find out who was on which side. Cheers!! *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

They unpack what the manosphere is, why it resonates with so many men, and how its messaging around success, relationships, and identity can be both appealing and concerning. The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they examine the broader implications of this rhetoric,not just for men, but for women and society as a whole.

Episode Overview:  In this honest conversation, Moni sits down with Stephani Shepherd, founder of Great Life is a Must and AMSE DC Chapter Leader, to talk about something military spouses rarely give themselves—permission to take a break. Stephani's "Momentarily Gone" initiative is challenging the narrative that good moms sacrifice everything, proving instead that self-care isn't selfish, it's survival. From navigating the mental load of parenting to building a thriving chapter of military spouse entrepreneurs, Stephani shares practical wisdom on creating boundaries, communicating needs, and why every mom deserves a moment to herself. Key Highlights The journey from military spouse struggle to entrepreneurship and purpose What "Momentarily Gone" really means (hint: it doesn't require a plane ticket) Why "we as moms need a break" isn't just nice—it's necessary Overcoming the guilt that keeps mothers from prioritizing themselves The mental health imperative: you can't pour from an empty cup Navigating the "default parent" role and establishing healthy boundaries How to communicate your needs with your partner effectively Leading the AMSE DC chapter and empowering military spouse entrepreneurs The transformative power of community support and connection Why self-care actually makes you a better parent and partner Memorable Moments "We as moms need a break" "I want every mom to experience a break" "It's okay to do, be a great mom" Addressing the common question: "How do I convince my husband?" The importance of creating boundaries to prioritize mental health Who This Episode Is For Military spouses feeling overwhelmed by constant relocations and the mental load, mothers carrying guilt about wanting personal time, anyone struggling with the default parent role, entrepreneurs balancing business and family, and women seeking community and empowerment.

This week, the hosts review Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, a sweeping multi-generational novel that traces the descendants of two half-sisters from 18th-century Ghana into the modern era. One sister, Effia, lives above the dungeon of Cape Coast Castle; the other, Esi, is imprisoned below and sold into American slavery. From that pivotal separation, the book follows their children and grandchildren across centuries, continents, and systems of power. Through alternating chapters, Gyasi explores the legacy of slavery, colonialism, identity, belonging, resilience, and generational trauma. Each descendant wrestles with the inherited shadows of the past, from plantations and Jim Crow to migration, incarceration, and cultural disconnection. The hosts unpack the book's structure, thematic depth, and emotional resonance, reflecting on how history lives in individual lives long after its origins. It's a layered, compassionate conversation that centers legacy, memory, and the ways personal story intertwines with collective history.

This week, the hosts revisit the cultural chaos of early 2000s reality television through the lens of the documentary Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model  on Netflix. What a time to be alive! From the era that brought viewers Flavor of Love, I Love New York, Jersey Shore, The Real World, and Paris Hilton's reality TV dominance, the conversation explores how shock value, humiliation, and boundary-pushing became entertainment staples. At the center of the discussion is Tyra Banks' assertion that she was simply producing the content audiences wanted more of. The hosts critically examine that defense, questioning whether demand absolves creators of accountability. They unpack how reality television shaped beauty standards, normalized problematic behavior, and blurred the line between competition and exploitation. From controversial challenges to moments that feel deeply uncomfortable in hindsight, the episode explores what responsibility producers hold when entertainment has real-world impact.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

This week, in honor of Black History Month, the ladies review Percival Everett's powerful and provocative novel The Trees. They begin with the book's gripping premise: when detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive in Money, Mississippi to investigate a series of brutal murders, they discover something unsettling at each crime scene, a second body resembling Emmett Till. Met with resistance from local law enforcement and racist townsfolk, the detectives begin to suspect these killings are acts of retribution. As eerily similar murders begin unfolding across the country, it becomes clear that the past refuses to stay buried and that something larger is underway.In this bold and biting page turner, Everett confronts the legacy of lynching, white supremacy, and racial violence in America with sharp satire and unflinching honesty. The hosts unpack the novel's layered storytelling, dark humor, historical weight, and cultural commentary, discussing how it challenges readers while refusing comfort. It is a thought provoking conversation about memory, justice, and what it means when history demands to be reckoned with. Cheeers!SPOILERS & Trigger Warning: This book discusses the use of racial slurs, racial violence, racial hatred, lynchings, and other forms of racist behavior. Depictions of violence in this novel are graphic. *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

They break down the twists, turns, and tangled relationships at the center of this messy murder mystery while raising a few questions about the plot along the way. From unreliable narrators to layered motives, the conversation balances critique with curiosity as the ladies unpack what worked, what confused them, and why the story was still fun to dissect. It is a lively, thoughtful discussion that leans into the chaos and keeps things entertaining from start to finish. Cheers!*

In this episode, the hosts start with HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, sharing their early thoughts on the series before branching out into other shows currently on their radar, including Industry, Bridgerton Season 3, Beauty, and Landman.The conversation then circles back to last week's read, Francine's Spectacular Crash and Burn. Kat reflects on how deeply she connected with Davie, the neurodivergent ten-year-old whose intense fixations felt familiar, sparking a thoughtful discussion about why certain topics, especially slavery, can become fixation-worthy. Along the way, the hosts laugh at their differing lingering fixations from the previous episode, including a humorous contrast between Davie's admiration for Steve Jobs and Moni's ongoing obsession with his notoriously unhygienic reputation.Tap in and hang with the hosts for a fun FAB listen.
