Matt Ehret and Ghost take a fast-moving tour through Trump's newly released National Security Strategy, a document Ghost argues formally ends decades of neocon adventurism by rejecting regime change, overseas meddling, and global policing in favor of regional balance and American hemispheric security. From there, they dive into major geopolitical shifts: Turkey and Hungary teaming up to guarantee Russian gas flow, Saudi Arabia and Iran reaffirming the Beijing Agreement, Qatar and Saudi Arabia launching a joint high-speed rail project, and Turkey signaling readiness to deploy peacekeeping forces in Gaza. The hosts contrast these realignments with Europe's escalating panic, highlighting Estonian PM Kaja Kallas's historical revisionism and EU outrage over the strategy's sovereignty-first posture. They also track Ukraine's unraveling corruption, NATO procurement scandals involving Israeli defense firms, and rumors of Zelensky's impending exit. Packed with maps, history, sharp humor, and pattern recognition, this episode reveals a world rapidly reorganizing itself as the old order loses coherence.

Most women think they're “taking control,” but what they're actually doing is managing chaos from a nervous system that doesn't feel safe. Control is a trauma response. Direction is a soul response. And learning the difference changes everything about your healing, your power, and your relationships. In this powerful solo episode, Lora breaks down the difference between controlling your life and directing your life—a distinction that is foundational to healing after infidelity or any form of deep emotional betrayal. You'll hear why control feels so intoxicating at first, why it becomes exhausting over time, and how it ultimately keeps you stuck in fear, hypervigilance, and over-functioning. Lora then guides you into the energetics of self-direction—what she calls a “soul response”—where clarity, empowerment, and healthy masculine/feminine balance begin to return. Through personal stories, cultural context, nervous-system wisdom, and practical tools, Lora shows you how to stop managing the chaos and start leading your life again. If you've been stuck in fear, bracing, or trying to “fix” your partner, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.   Top 3 Takeaways Control is always rooted in fear. Over-monitoring, over-planning, over-functioning, micromanaging your partner's behavior—all of it is a trauma response from a nervous system that doesn't feel safe. It's not a moral failing; it's biology. Self-direction is grounded clarity and expansion. Instead of reacting, you choose your next right step based on who you want to be. You lead your life with healthy masculine structure and healthy feminine flow, instead of trying to force outcomes.   The Control-to-Direction Test Will Change Everything. Ask yourself: Am I trying to control a person or outcome? Am I acting from fear or from clarity? Does this behavior feel braced or grounded? Is this action about who I want to be, or about preventing something from happening? These four questions reveal your truth instantly.   Loving this show? Ready to go deeper? If you're tired of controlling everything around you and you're ready to finally feel safe, grounded, clear, and self-directed again, this is exactly what we do inside Rise & Reign, my six-month betrayal recovery mentorship. It's where women learn to lead their lives again—rebuilding identity, regulating their nervous system, reclaiming their truth, and making empowered decisions without fear.

Long-Form, Ranking-Ready, Packed with KeywordsWelcome back to What's New with ME — the boldest late-night style news show on the internet hosted by Ali Mehdaoui.In today's episode, we dive into:

In this episode of The Yard Sign, Florida's most important relevant podcast, hosts Johnny Torres and "Evil" David Cabrera welcome back veteran correspondent Travis Horn for a lively post-Thanksgiving deep dive into global and domestic hot topics. Kicking off with lighthearted banter on Florida's overlooked role in the first Thanksgiving—courtesy of Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés in 1565—the trio quickly pivots to the explosive rumors swirling around Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. With Trump signaling aggressive action against narcoterrorism, including potential strikes on Maduro as an enabler of drug trafficking, the hosts speculate on the dictator's flight risks, possible escapes to Russia or Cuba, and the billions siphoned by the Chávez family. They dissect the U.S. military's "double-tap" boat interceptions in the Caribbean, mocking media portrayals of narco "fishing vessels" as high-speed death traps, and question the timing of Admiral Alvin Holsey's abrupt retirement amid reported clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the strikes' legality—dismissing Democratic outrage as desperate deflection from real border threats like Mexican cartels. The conversation heats up on foreign policy ripple effects, from China's stake in Venezuelan oil to a potential domino for right-leaning regimes across Latin America, with calls for guests like Josh Bergen for deeper analysis. Shifting gears, they roast Rep. Emmanuel Sánchez's (D-OH) push to ban dual citizenship for lawmakers, branding it performative red meat unlikely to sway voters despite echoes from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Wrapping with the Tennessee special election, where a Democrat who once trashed Nashville's party scene won 72% in the district she now represents, the hosts lament blue-state transplants turning red strongholds purple, joking about balkanizing Virginia or annexing Canadian provinces to balance the electoral map. The episode closes with bold wagers on resolutions to Venezuela and Ukraine-Russia by year's end, underscoring Trump's troll-mastery in global chess. Packed with unfiltered hot takes, historical nods, and Florida flair, this installment reminds listeners why socialism crumbles and why backing the right strongman matters—now more than ever.

Welcome to another dynamic episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this thought-provoking installment, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of today's most pressing topics, delivering sharp insights and lively debate. The episode opens with a rapid-fire rundown of major news—from the possibility of Americans buying healthcare through retailers like Costco, to Palantir skipping the college degree requirement in its hiring process, and the high-stakes race for AI dominance as Sam Altman sounds the alarm at OpenAI. Tom Bilyeu and Drew break down the real challenges behind America's healthcare system, emphasizing the power of competition and the controversial idea of personal responsibility in health outcomes. The discussion then shifts to education and career, as Drew shares his personal thoughts on college and apprenticeships, while Tom Bilyeu weighs the pros and cons of debt and traditional university paths in the era of AI and internet learning. But it doesn't stop there—the duo takes on the fierce battle between Google and OpenAI for AI supremacy, unraveling what competition (or monopoly) could mean for innovation, the economy, and us as consumers. Expect bold takes on how major tech players, government intervention, and monopolistic behavior could shape the future. From there, Tom Bilyeu offers a compelling vision for how AI will transform not just work, but the fundamental fabric of society, meaning, and even crime. The conversation ranges from personal teacher stories, university controversies surrounding free speech, to the changing nature of human relationships and ambition in a digital age. Packed with real talk, tactical advice, and the kind of high-level perspective only Impact Theory delivers, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about the future—and how to stay ahead of the curve.

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Yousuf Ahmed, Founder and CEO of B-SIDES — the Brooklyn-based upcycled snack brand turning overlooked ingredients into bold, crave-worthy puffs and quickly becoming one of the most compelling sustainability-driven food stories today. What began with a simple question — what happens to the leftover oats from oat milk production? — led Yousuf to transform what was once considered waste into high-protein, low-sugar snacks that are reshaping how modern consumers think about clean eating. With a background that spans music, finance, and now food entrepreneurship, Yousuf has built B-SIDES into a brand that fuses sustainability with serious flavor, proving that doing good for the planet can also taste really, really good.In this episode, Yousuf shares how he made the bold jump from advising ultra-high-net-worth clients at Goldman Sachs to reinventing the snack aisle, what he learned about risk and fulfillment along the way, and how upcycling became a powerful engine for both purpose and profit. He opens up about the challenges of building in a crowded CPG landscape, the breakthroughs that validated B-SIDES early on, and the mindset shifts required to leave behind one identity and fully step into another. Packed with insights on reinvention, brand building, sustainability, and consumer behavior, Yousuf's journey is a powerful example of how a single overlooked ingredient — and an even more overlooked opportunity — can fuel a new category entirely. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Jon Herold opens the show with a deep dive into the newly released affidavit in the January 6th pipe-bomber case, walking through how investigators claim they identified Brian Cole Jr., the political spin now emerging around the arrest, and why both incompetence and deliberate delay remain on the table.

He then turns to the Trump administration's newly published National Security Strategy, breaking down its shift toward sovereignty, regional responsibility, economic nationalism, border security, energy dominance, and the rejection of globalist priorities. Jon contrasts this broader, principle-driven framework with the failures of post-Cold War foreign policy and explores the document's implications for Europe, China, the Middle East, and American elections. Packed with analysis, humor, and sharp commentary, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how national security, geopolitical strategy, and domestic political battles are converging.

What if courage isn't about being fearless, but about taking action despite fear? In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis speaks with Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School professor and author of How to Be Bold. Ranjay shares why our cultural myth of the “fearless hero” is misleading and explains how courage is a learnable skill that anyone can practice, whether as an individual, a team, or an organization. He explores the dangers of analysis paralysis in business, why acting boldly is often safer than standing still, and how leaders can use sense-making and storytelling to reframe adversity into opportunity. Drawing on vivid examples, from nuclear plant managers to Antarctic explorers, Ranjay shows how courage is collective, not solo, and why a strong support system is essential to bold decision-making. Packed with practical insights and inspiring stories, this conversation serves as a playbook for anyone seeking to replace fear with bold, decisive action. Learn more about your ad choices.

December is here, Advent is upon us, and while the world is speeding up, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, breathe deep, and remember that anxiety does not magically clock out for the holidays. In this episode, we talk with Ruth about what it looks like to set the tone for the month of Advent with intention, slowness, and a heart that is more focused on Jesus than on performance, expectations, or a perfectly curated Christmas. Episode Overview So often, December becomes a pressure cooker: Packed calendars Parties and performances Family expectations Untended relationships Mom guilt and spiritual guilt If we are honest, it is easy to end the month exhausted, anxious, and wondering if we missed what Advent was really about. This episode is a gentle reset. Together we talk about: Why your anxiety around the holidays is understandable How to set expectations and boundaries without guilt How to stop treating December like a spiritual performance review How to carry Advent rhythms into January, February, and beyond Practically preparing Him room in your actual life, not just your ideal one And underneath all of it: the reminder that God really does see you, loves you, and is not grading your Christmas performance. Key Themes From the Conversation Advent as a beginning, not a box Instead of cramming all spiritual depth into four weeks, we talk about Advent as the starting line for rhythms that can continue all year. The goal is not a perfect December, but a reoriented heart that remembers Emmanuel, God with us, in every season. Letting go of holiday perfectionism Naming how much of our striving is actually about approval, worth, and wanting to be seen as a good mom, good host, or good Christian. Asking honest questions: What do I think I will gain from doing all of this? Is this truly about honoring Jesus or about proving something? Heart clutter and preparing Him room Ruth shares how her work on Advent came out of her own struggle to feel like everything had to happen in December. The phrase "prepare Him room" assumes there is clutter in our hearts that needs to be cleared, not just in our schedules. Permission to say no You do not have to say yes to every party, event, or opportunity, even if they are all good things. Sometimes the holiest thing you can do is guard a blank square on the calendar as "occupied by rest, family, and presence." Repairing relationships without putting all the pressure on one month We often try to fix a year's worth of tension or distance in a single holiday season. Advent is a beautiful time to begin the work of reconciliation, but not a demand to tie everything up with a bow by December 25. Parenting, anxiety, and what our kids actually see Our kids are learning what Christmas is by watching us. When they see us frantic, angry, and stressed, they learn that "this is what Christmas feels like." When they see us repent, reset, and re-center on Jesus, they witness the Gospel in real time. Scripture Threads in This Episode 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Luke 12:27 Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. We talk about how Jesus pointed anxious hearts to birds and flowers as living reminders that the Father is not forgetful, and that our worth is not held together by our hustle. Practical Ways To Set the Tone for This Month Here are some simple, realistic practices that came up in the conversation: Decide your non negotiables A daily or weekly family moment to pray, read a verse, or use an Advent resource. A small rhythm that fits your actual life: after dinner, Saturday mornings, or before bed. Mark the "nothing" days on your calendar Literally block off blank days as taken. Protect margin so there is room for real conversations, unhurried play, and quiet with God. Saturate your environment with reminders of Jesus Scripture on the walls, art that points your eyes up, worship and Advent music playing in the background, an open Bible on the table. Let what you see, hear, and read pull your attention back to Him throughout the day. Practice quick repentance, not long self condemnation When you catch yourself spiraling, snapping, or worshiping your to do list, pause. Talk with Jesus first: Lord, I put this party, this list, or this image of myself on the throne. I am sorry. Please reorder my heart. Then talk with your people: Hey, I am sorry for how I just acted. That is not what I want this season to feel like for us. Can we reset and try again? Pay attention to embodied people, not just online life Online community is a gift, but the people under your roof and the ones who know your everyday life matter first. Ask God to help you see them, listen to them, and be fully present with them. Reflective Questions For You You might want to jot these down in a journal or talk them through with a friend or spouse: What is my real emotional temperature going into this month: anxious, hopeful, numb, overwhelmed? Where am I secretly hoping that a "perfect" Christmas will heal or fix something that actually needs long term tending with God? What are three things I can say no to this month so I can say a deeper yes to Jesus, my family, and rest? How can I build in daily "touch points" with God's Word that fit my real life, not my ideal life? Where do I need to humble myself, apologize, or reset the tone in my home?

Welcome back Heal Squad to our Part 2 with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine. This episode is PACKED with revelations about how your immune system works and what actually helps your body heal. Dr. Bland breaks down the Systemic Immune Index (SII) … a simple calculation from your standard bloodwork that acts like a “dashboard light” for your immune resilience. It's something our physicians all have and if your number is off, he explains the importance of bringing it back into balance. Then he drops MAJOR nutritional truth bombs: why Tartary buckwheat, a forgotten crop may be the most powerful immune-supporting superfood in the world, why polyphenols are the secret sauce of Blue Zone longevity, and which supplements actually help versus which ones are just ultra-processed hype. This conversation is hopeful, empowering, and gives you real tools to build better immunity, better aging, and a better relationship with your health, starting today. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Tartary Buckwheat Is the Immune Superfood We've Been Missing It delivers up to 100x more polyphenols than regular buckwheat, boosts immune resilience, improves metabolic function, and offers powerful nutrient density — especially when sprouted. Polyphenols, Omega-3s & Probiotics Are the Real Supplement “Big 3 But quality matters: Choose minimally processed fish oils (like Alaskan fish liver oil), Add polyphenol-rich foods, Support gut immunity with pre + probiotics And skip the ultra-processed supplements pretending to be “anti-inflammatory.” HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjeffreybland/?hl=en  Website: https://jeffreybland.com/ Big Bold Health: https://bigboldhealth.com The Systemic Inflammation Index ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

This transformative and emotionally gripping episode of Life Points with Ronda confronts one of the most painful but necessary turning points in personal growth: recognizing the pattern of choosing people who cannot, will not, or simply do not choose you in return. Many people unknowingly enter relationships that repeat old emotional wounds. This episode explains the deep psychological roots behind that pattern — including childhood emotional templates, attachment wounds, nervous system imprinting, and the survival instinct that makes you love potential instead of reality. We explore the subtle but powerful ways you learn to betray yourself: ignoring your intuition, silencing your needs, overinvesting in people who underinvest in you, and shrinking your worth to maintain the illusion of connection. You will learn how childhood conditioning creates adult attraction patterns that feel familiar but are deeply harmful. This episode takes you through the emotional moment when everything changes — the spiritual awakening where you stop negotiating with your worth and finally choose yourself. We break down why choosing yourself is not ego-driven but soul-driven, and how this shift reprograms your relationships, self-esteem, boundaries, and emotional intelligence. You will also experience a profound teaching on the spiritual contract of self-choosing — the energetic agreement you enter when you decide to stop abandoning yourself and begin honoring your peace, standards, and intuition. This section explores how self-alignment elevates your vibration, reorganizes your connections, and draws in healthier relationships aligned with your healed identity. Packed with emotional clarity, psychological insight, and spiritual empowerment, this episode teaches you how to break cycles, stop settling, reclaim your identity, and step into relationships where your worth is fully recognized. A necessary episode for anyone ready to heal self-betrayal, choose emotional alignment, and upgrade the love they allow into their life.
