Performing service in the Tabernacle was the domain of the cherished few only. Only Aaron, his four sons, and their subsequent children were eligible. Why couldn't everyone serve as a priest? That's a question for modern egalitarian sensibilities, and it's truthfully one that we are averse to asking. After all, this was the question that […]

Why murder instead of divorce? That's the question the Kouri Richins case forces us to confront.Prosecutors allege Kouri Richins poisoned her husband Eric with fentanyl, that she made multiple attempts before the one that killed him, and that she stood to gain nearly two million dollars in life insurance while carrying on an affair. But financial motive doesn't explain the psychology. Plenty of people want out of marriages with money at stake. What makes someone decide killing is the answer?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the internal logic of partners who allegedly choose murder over leaving. With over three decades working with both victims and perpetrators of violence, Scott breaks down what makes this choice feel rational to the person making it.We analyze the language prosecutors allege Kouri used—feeling "stuck" and "trapped," believing it would be "better if Eric died." We examine what that framing reveals about how someone in this mindset perceives their options and their spouse.We look at the method. Poisoning requires sustained deception, repeated attempts, watching suffering without intervening. It's not impulsive—it's calculated. Forensic experts call this "proactive staging" where the murder method becomes the alibi. What type of personality chooses this approach?And we examine the alleged performance that followed. Writing a children's book about grief. Appearing on television as a mourning mother. Performing widowhood publicly while allegedly knowing the truth. How does someone compartmentalize at that level?Part 1 of a two-part series on the psychology of partner homicide. Part 2 shifts perspective to the victim's experience.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

OddKidOut pulls up to talk creativity, career pivots, and how he built a lane by refusing to stay in one lane.

In this podcast we bring you ​​how to develop a virtuous character from the philosophy of Aristotle. His philosophy is often referenced as Aristotelianism. Aristotle defined virtues as dispositions to choose good actions and passions, informed by moral knowledge of several sorts. For Aristotle, virtues can be intellectual or moral, the intellectual ones are learned by instruction or education, the moral ones are developed by habits. Performing virtuous acts can be motivated by having a practical purpose or by the desire to act in a virtuous way or by both. In this video, we will explore what one might need to develop virtuous character in accordance with Aristotle's Virtue Ethics Theory. The three ways to develop your character are - 01. Adopt a Virtuous Mindset02. Practice Practical Wisdom 03. Contemplate and ReflectI hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these three ways to develop your character from the philosophy of Aristotle will add value to your life. Aristotle is a Promethean figure in the history of the world, who lived between 384–322 BC, He is considered "the father” of logic, biology, political science, zoology, embryology, of natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism and even of meteorology. He was first a student of Plato, then, when Plato retired, he left the Academia which Plato founded, and he became the tutor of Alexander The Great, and the two other future kings: Ptolemy and Cassander. He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Unfortunately, only a third of his magnificent work has survived. For example, the  treatises “Physics”, “Metaphysics”, “Nicomachean Ethics”, “Politics”, “On the Soul” and “Poetics”, have influenced more than two millennia of scientists and theologians alike, both fascinated by his ideas.

If you've been around for any length of time, you know how much I LOVE the Olympics. The recent Milano Cortina Winter Games just concluded, and these games showcased some high profile athletes who were competing while injured (or had to make the difficult decision not to).

Morgan Myles on ‘Laced': Turning a Broken Engagement into an Album, Surviving Nashville, and Staying Authentic in the AI EraIn this Curious Goldfish episode hosted by Jason English, singer-songwriter Morgan Myles discusses her upcoming album Laced (releasing February 13 on Galentine's Day) and the personal upheaval that shaped it, including calling off her wedding, buying and then selling a house with her ex-fiancé, and touring through the chaos. She explains how the album title shifted from Language of Flowers to Laced, describing lace as delicate yet resilient, and shares how she used her 20-foot wedding veil—taken to Joshua Tree two weeks after the breakup—as the album cover. Morgan compares Laced to her 2020 album Therapy, outlines the two-year process of writing 80 songs in five months and narrowing them to 12 for vinyl with producer Ross Hogarth, and talks about performing while dealing with stress, compartmentalizing, faith, and negativity on social media. The conversation explores how fans can support artists in streaming, emphasizing that actively searching for an artist and listening to full songs signals algorithms, and addresses the flood of AI-generated music and its impact on songwriters, demo singers, session players, and industry economics. Morgan shares her view of authenticity, discusses songwriting themes like gaslighting and the power of words, and explains protecting vulnerability by staying close to trusted people. She talks about writing with Gary Nichols, what she learns from his perspective, and highlights tracks including “Love Is Lonesome” and “American Sky,” which she wrote to evoke bipartisan hope while addressing phone toxicity, food chemicals, veteran support, financial education, school tragedies, and media hate. Morgan reflects on her positive experience on The Voice as valuable exposure, her goals of continuing to write, tour, and build her fanbase, and ends by sharing what she's curious about now—especially history and learning how to meditate.00:00 From ‘Language of Flowers' to ‘Laced': the veil that became the album cover01:09 Welcome to Curious Goldfish + quick listener survey on streaming & AI02:24 Meet Morgan Myles: survival, breakup inspiration, and authenticity in the AI era03:38 Ice storm in Nashville: weather chaos and keeping the lights on05:28 Laced release week + comparing the new album to Therapy10:32 80 songs in 5 months: choosing the final tracklist with Ross Hogarth11:55 The symbolism of lace: engagement, heartbreak, and women's stories13:33 Performing through pain: staying joyful onstage and handling trolls16:59 How fans can help in the streaming era: algorithms, full listens, and search intent21:06 AI in music: inevitable shift, lost royalties, and protecting the soul of songs27:29 Breaking Down the Album: Passion, Despair & Song Themes28:56 Why Words Matter: Songwriting, Gaslighting & Relationship Red Flags30:29 Vulnerability vs Self-Protection (and Handling Online Judgment)33:03 Pet Peeves & “Icks”: Attention, Alone Time, and Basic Respect34:09 Writing with Gary Nichols: Process, Perspective & Musical Authenticity37:24 “Love Is Lonesome”: When Love Hurts and How to Nurture It39:54 “American Sky”: Hope, Division, and a Bipartisan Message45:56 Where She's Headed Next: Career Goals, The Voice, and Staying Grateful49:55 Final Question: What She's Most Curious About (History, Meditation & Life)52:37 Wrap-Up: Album Release, Thanks, and Where to Stream

Have you ever felt like being 'put together' is just the tax you have to pay to be taken seriously? Whether you're navigating the pressures of motherhood, a demanding career, or just a Sunday morning, there is this relentless weight of social media pressure telling us that our pretty privilege is our most valuable currency.  But what if your self worth wasn't something you had to earn through a gym membership or a skincare routine? Your worthiness is inherent, not earned. When we stop viewing our bodies as projects, we find genuine emotional well-being, where the goal isn't looking 'better,' but finally feeling at home in our own skin. And to bring it all together, in this episode we're talking about: Moving from external beauty standards to internal validation Practical steps to improve body confidence without the hustle How to start intuitive eating and rebuild your mind body connection by shifting away from diet culture We're going to share the specific questions we've started asking ourselves whenever we feel that urge to 'fix' our appearance. It's a collective shift that has completely redefined our individual wellness journey experiences, and we're giving you the practical tools to stop performing and start living with a plan that feels like a relief instead of a chore. Remember, your value is not a "price of admission" that you have to pay with your appearance.  Let's rebrand wellness together!

Another country star on the rise. Jason Aldean is performing at Spark Arena tonight, and he's bringing with him Corey Kent – the latest Red Dirt star, according to Rolling Stone. Despite having been performing since he was a kid, it was a bumpy road to reach this point, complete with a happenstance performance with Willie Nelson, a change in jobs, and a lot of dedication. Kent's since gone triple platinum, released four albums, and had over a billion streams. He joined Mike Hosking for a chat about his career to date, and regaled him with stories of country legends Willie Nelson and Paul Simon.

Circus Is Sport — So Why Aren't We Treating It That Way?Performing artists train like elite athletes — but they're rarely treated like them in healthcare.In this episode, Emily Scherb (The Circus Doc) shares:How she transitioned from professional circus performer to PTWhy circus participation is exploding across the U.S.What “adult-onset circus” meansWhy pole dancers avoid seeking careThe stigma problem in healthcareHow load management applies to performing artistsWhy saying “I don't know” builds trustThe massive business opportunity PTs are missingKey TakeawaysCircus artists are athletes.Performing arts lack a strong culture of training load management.PTs don't need to be experts — just curious and respectful.Niching down builds authority and trust.This population is actively looking for clinicians who understand them.Guest LinksWebsite: https://www.thecircusdoc.comInstagram: @thecircusdocLinkedIn: Emily Scherb

In a world obsessed with visibility, there's a quiet exhaustion rising beneath the surface. Everyone is talking about personal branding. Stand out. Be visible. Polish your message. Optimize your strategy. But what if the reason your marketing feels heavy isn't because you lack a better brand… What if it's because you've outgrown the identity you've been performing? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose & Personal Brand, we name what most high achievers feel but rarely say out loud: personal branding has quietly become performance. And performance is exhausting. This isn't about abandoning marketing. It's about rebuilding it from the only place that actually sustains trust. That's identity. If something inside you knows you've been performing confidence… curating authority… shaping yourself to stay promotable… this conversation will feel like relief. We're going upstream - beyond websites, logos, funnels, and visibility and into the deeper truth: Your identity is the strategy. Your presence is the brand. Your realness is the marketing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal branding has become a socially acceptable mask for many high performers. When identity is unclear, branding turns into performance. When identity is clear, your brand becomes an amplifier. Identity-led marketing creates resonance instead of volume. When identity leads, aligned clients become magnetic — not forced. Competitors become irrelevant when you operate from a truth that cannot be replicated.

In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I'm joined by writer, speaker, and podcast host Brianne Roberge for a deeply honest conversation about self-worth, trauma, and the belief that love has to be earned.We talk about what happens when you grow up learning to perform for approval, to change yourself to be acceptable, and to control your body in the hope that it will finally make you feel worthy. Brianne shares her personal journey through pageant culture, extreme physical control, cosmetic surgery, serious health consequences, and the moment everything began to shift when she stopped trying to fix herself and started listening instead.This conversation will resonate deeply if eating disorder recovery or anorexia recovery has felt less about food — and more about learning how to stay with yourself, even when it's uncomfortable.This episode includes discussion of childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Please listen gently and take pauses if you need to.In this episode, we explore:How early experiences can teach us to earn love through performance and self-erasureWhy changing the body can feel like the solution when the wound underneath is emotionalThe link between trauma, people-pleasing, and body control in eating disorder recoveryWhat happens when the body starts signalling that something isn't rightThe difference between self-care and true self-loveLearning to stay with uncomfortable feelings instead of abandoning yourselfWhy self-worth is not something you can earn by becoming someone elseHow finding your voice can change relationships — and sometimes end themWhat freedom begins to feel like when you stop hustling for loveSo many people in eating disorder recovery and anorexia recovery recognise the pattern Brianne describes — trying to be smaller, better, quieter, more disciplined, or more acceptable in order to feel safe and loved.This episode gently unpacks why those strategies never bring lasting peace, and why healing begins when worth stops being conditional.Brianne Roberge is a writer, speaker, and podcast host who shares openly about trauma healing, self-worth, embodiment, and learning how to come home to yourself after a lifetime of performing for love.You can connect with Brianne here:Instagram: @itsbriannerobergeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsbriannerobergeWebsite: https://www.brianneroberge.comPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5zTzthDnf5Bt5hM08FSDAkYouTube: linked via her websiteIf this episode stirred something in you, that makes sense.These beliefs often form early, and unlearning them takes time, patience, and compassion.You don't have to become someone else to be worthy.You are allowed to stop performing.You are allowed to stay with yourself.

Listen to today's podcast... “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” Seneca World Kindness Day gives us a chance to reach to others and show them that they are not alone, and the world is not as gloomy as it is often made out to be. Numerous scientific studies show that acts of kindness result in significant health benefits. Performing kind acts can help reverse feelings of depression, decrease feelings of hostility and isolation, decrease intensity and the awareness of physical pain, and increase sense of self-worth, happiness, and optimism. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Building Resiliency and Celebrating Random Acts Of Kindness Week: Think of those that are closest to you and take a moment to connect with them…phone your grandmother, mother, father, uncle…nothing is more personal than a visit or a phone call so that they can hear your voice. Let them know how much they mean to you. Leave a love note for your spouse. Let them know that you still hold them in your heart. Make a donation to a charity on behalf of a love one. You are letting your love one know that you are thinking of them and you are helping out a worthy cause at the same time. Send an appreciation note to a colleague. Many of us receive little or no appreciation at work. Let's change this and help increase the engagement of each other. Being kind to another doesn't have to cost us anything other than the energy to think of something.

We are starting a new strand to the ever expanding tapestry of 2-5-1 : Tunes we love and why. The first of these is on the song Softly as in a Morning Sunrise by Sigmund Romberg a 32 bar  AABA format tune, often in C minor, that has become a favourite amongst musicians.Here is an Apple Music play list which is only the tip of the iceberg [or should that be Romburg?]

In the second episode of this two-part conversation for CAA Conversations, multidisciplinary artists Lineadeluz (Darleen Martinez) and Edgar Fabián Frías shift from institutional critique to speculative possibility, examining how digital practices can reimagine pedagogy, knowledge production, and cultural stewardship. Drawing from examples in augmented reality, AI art, queer archives, and self-instituted platforms such as Lineadeluz's Selfie Institute for Selfie Studies (SISS) and Frías's MOMMM (Museum of Multidimensional Mutant Maps), they consider how institutions can be performed, hacked, and collectively reauthored through care-based and community-driven frameworks.  The discussion explores digital pedagogy as a slippery and relational technology that resists fixed hierarchies of legitimacy and authority, particularly within systems that continue to marginalize experimental, interdisciplinary, and Indigenous knowledge practices. Martinez and Frías reflect on speculative infrastructures as tools for redistribution, proposing models of institutional governance rooted in futurity, embodiment, and collective imagination. Together they position the institution not as a static structure, but as an evolving performance, one shaped by queer worldmaking, technological magic, and the ongoing labor of reenvisioning how knowledge is created, shared, and sustained.

We all love the idea of “potential” until it quietly turns into pressure, guilt, and a weird fear of actually trying. Heather Moyse didn't start professional sport until 27 and still became a double Olympic gold medallist. Breaking out of her social safety and truly exploring her potential wasn't easy. We dig into behavioral inertia, self‑sabotage, and the invisible “settings” your environment installs in your brain. Think of this as a mindset update: less motivational quotes, more useful psychology. f you've ever felt stuck in the “nearly” version of your life—nearly starting, nearly committing, nearly backing yourself—this conversation gives you language, mental models, and a few friendly kicks to move. Spot the subtle ways your environment is capping your potential. Replace “be realistic” thinking with experiments that actually feel safe. Build a high‑potential identity without burning out or becoming a robot. Hit play and give your potential something better than another inspirational reel. SPONSORS

February 12, 2026 - K-pop fandom's practices and activities are a primary productive force, instrumental in shaping the genre's immense global appeal, as well as its cultural influence, politics, and future potential. Over the last thirty years, the K-pop fandom has grown, intensified, and diversified, while its activities have taken on new social, technological, and economic manifestations, some of which are exclusive to K-pop and others that align with the broader cultural and industrial dynamics of global mass entertainment. In this lecture, Areum Jeong will explore the phenomenon of performing deokhu—a Korean term connoting an "avid fan"—and the cultural significance and meaning of K-pop fan practices with a nuanced examination of contemporary audience power.

In the first of this two-part conversation for CAA Conversations, multidisciplinary artists Lindeadeluz, aka Darleen Martinez, and Edgar Fabián Frías examine the intersections of pedagogy, performance, and institutional power. Drawing from their experiences as educators, artists, and cultural workers, they reflect on how institutions shape bodies, knowledge production, and lived experience; often through mechanisms of trauma, exclusion, and legitimacy. The discussion considers the performative dimensions of teaching and scholarship, particularly within digital and interdisciplinary practices that remain marginalized in traditional academic and museum contexts. Martinez and Frías explore questions of accessibility, representation, and cultural stewardship, emphasizing that inclusion alone is insufficient without structural transformation. Through examples of performative and speculative art practices, they highlight strategies for reclaiming space, redistributing authority, and imagining institutions as evolving sites of possibility. Together, they propose speculative frameworks that challenge inherited hierarchies while opening pathways for more accountable, embodied, and future-oriented forms of learning and engagement.

The man who would come to be known as The Bard, was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom. One of, if not the greatest playwright in human history, William Shakespeare is responsible for 38 plays, 154 Sonnets, and credited with the invention of over 600 words in the English language. We still use phrases he invented on a daily basis. The man lived the theater and had a gift for capturing the complicated nature of people, creating complex but relatable characters and doing so with a masterful use of language. The man was also an entrepreneur, owning a share of his theater company and theater itself. Performing for royalty became common place for Shakespeare as he established himself as the premier playwright in London while never forgoting his roots in Stratford-upon-Avon where his family resided. Join us today as we explore the life and works of William Shakespeare. Support the show

K-Pop Fandom: Performing Deokhu from the 1990s to Today (U Michigan Press, 2026) insists that K-pop fan practices and activities constitute a central productive force, shaping not only K-pop's explosive global popularity, but also K-pop's cultural impacts, politics, and horizons of possibility. Over the past three decades, the K-pop fandom and its activities have expanded, intensified, and diversified along myriad dimensions, assuming novel social, technological, and economic forms, some of which are unique to K-pop, and some of which reflect broader cultural and industrial logics of globalized mass entertainment culture. Areum Jeong argues that K-pop fans, in performing deokhu—a Korean term connoting an “avid fan”—perform a materialization of affective labor that also seeks to produce good relationships between asymmetrically positioned actors in the K-pop ecosystem. Through an autoethnography of becoming a K-pop deokhu, Jeong connects their experiences to generations of K-pop fans, showing simultaneously how fandom practices have shifted over time and the intricacies of fan labor participation. This personal connection paved the way for participant-observation and co-performer witnessing methodologies in the study, which crucially allowed for collaborating with fans whose communal pursuits have been stigmatized by dominant discourses that denigrate their activities as solely addictive, uncritical, and wasteful. Jeong's genre-spanning corpus of fan activities and analyzing its contexts and contents represents an important contribution to the making of a fan archive that is also an archive of affective labor.

We talk identity, grief, agency and the surprisingly liberating idea that loving singing doesn't require loving performance.Then we zoom out into the bigger picture, how singing skills transfer into teaching, leadership, presenting, training and research. Plus, we unpack the difference between rehearsal and performance as totally different nervous system tasks, and why connection with the audience can change everything.If you're a singer, teacher, vocal coach, choir leader, or anyone who's ever felt like you need to “prove” your voice, this one's for you.Chapters00:00 “Singer Interrupted”01:14 The happy ending (and the grief)02:45 Returning to singing, rebuilding confidence, technique + agility05:12 Seven years off singing, and why that can still lead somewhere good06:15 “Performing spoils my day/week”, permission to redefine success08:22 Singing identity vs public performance10:45 What would your happy ending be if you didn't have to prove anything?12:19 Teaching, training, presenting, research, performance changes shape16:47 Connection with the audience, social engagement, polyvagal lens18:24 Transferable skills singers forget they have20:04 Rehearsal vs performance, what the audience changes24:09 Starting from your real emotion, plus “it's OK to be crap for 10 minutes”28:37 Nervous system expectations in performance, what helpsMentioned:Melissa Forbes, Stop Chasing Perfection, Start Singing for Connection (This Is A Voice Season 11, Ep13 https://youtu.be/r5-Lq4ithDcSafe Space 2 - Polyvagal Theory for Performance - our new online course with Franka van Essenhttps://vocal-process-hub.teachable.com/p/safe-space-2-polyvagal-theory-for-performance-with-franka-van-essenThe Master-Apprentice survey - please fill in this survey (10-20 mins)https://www.cognitoforms.com/VocalProcess1/Master-Apprentice-Model-In-Singing-Teaching If this episode resonates, drop a comment, what part hit home for you?

What if listening deeply could carry us across centuries?In this Speaking of Travel episode, cellist Louise Dubin invites us into a world where travel, music, and historical discovery intertwine, reminding us that the most meaningful journeys reconnect us with voices nearly forgotten. Performing across solo, chamber, orchestral, and Broadway stages, including Radio City, Louise brings audiences beyond the concert hall, uncovering hidden musical treasures and restoring them to life with remarkable care and passion.Her recordings, including The Franchomme Project and Passages, grew from years of research and travel, especially in France, where she followed the footsteps of 19th-century composers whose works had slipped from the repertoire. Through her work, Louise shows us that curiosity is a devotion, honoring the artists who came before us and ensuring their music continues to breathe.“Travel teaches us to listen differently. When we step into the places where music was created, the notes begin to feel less like history and more like conversation.”In our conversation, Louise reflects on falling in love with the cello, the responsibility of recording works never before heard, and the discoveries that shaped her journey abroad. Together, we explore how music becomes a living conversation across time, memory, and human connection.This is a story about listening with the heart and remembering that every rediscovered note brings the past beautifully into the present. Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

Not because of luck or timing, but because you are finally acting in alignment with who you actually are, not who you think you are supposed to be.In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about what it really means to be yourself and why so many of us spend years suppressing the very traits that make us unique. From an early age, we learn to fit in, to smooth out the edges, and to hide the parts of ourselves that feel different. Over time, that self suppression becomes normal, even when it feels heavy and exhausting.I walk through how intent matters when you are trying to grow or change. Are you exploring new versions of yourself because they align with who you are at your core, or because you are desperate for acceptance? That distinction changes everything. When your actions come from self appreciation instead of self criticism, relationships shift, anxiety softens, and the right people begin to gravitate toward you naturally.We also talk about why this work is best done with kindness and compassion, especially toward yourself. Honest self reflection does not require tearing yourself down. It requires observation, patience, and often support. Therapy can be an incredibly helpful space for this kind of work when there is trust and rapport.This episode ties directly into the inside/out approach behind Your Level Fitness. Choosing to believe in yourself first and reinforcing that belief through deliberate actions creates a calmer, more sustainable way to live, train, work, and connect with others.If you have ever felt like you were walking on eggshells, trying to be someone else, or chasing acceptance at the expense of your peace, this conversation is for you.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Many relationships carry quiet pressure to perform in order to belong. This episode explores what happens when exhaustion, faith, and identity meet — and how being known without striving begins when love no longer has to be earned.There is a kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from doing too much — but from trying to be loved by doing.After a week of releasing pressure and softening relational roles, many high-capacity humans arrive at a deeper question: Am I loved when I'm not performing? This Sunday episode turns toward that question gently, without urgency or instruction.This conversation centers on Vertical Alignment — the grounding that comes not from effort or clarity, but from being seen, known, and held by God. Drawing from Psalm 139 (NLT), we explore a faith-rooted truth that reshapes how intimacy works both spiritually and relationally: you cannot outrun God's love, and you do not have to earn being known.Rather than offering advice or behavior change, this episode creates space for rest, recognition, and re-rooting identity beyond performance. When love is no longer something we extract from relationships, pressure loosens. Presence replaces striving. Intimacy becomes safer because it is no longer carrying the weight of being our source.This is not mindset work.It is not productivity or self-improvement.It is Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level realignment that allows every other tool, boundary, and relationship to function with integrity.If you are faith-filled, faith-curious, or simply longing for a truer way of being, you are welcome here.Today's Micro Recalibration:Place one hand on your chest. Take one slow breath.Orient to this truth:“I am already known — therefore I don't have to perform to be loved.”Let your body receive it without trying to apply it.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!
