Think sweating more = better results? Or that lifting will make you “too bulky”? You're not alone. If you've ever felt like your body's either “too much” or “not enough,” or struggled to balance training for aesthetics with training for strength, this episode is a must-listen.I sat down with Emily Duncan, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and host of EmBody Radio, to talk about what women are really up against when it comes to body image, fitness trends, and self-trust.We unpack why “bulky” is one of the biggest myths in fitness, how to separate discipline from obsession, and why balance is overrated (and harmony is where the real results happen). We also talk about why motivation is never enough on its own, and the systems we can use to stay consistent without burning out.Emily Duncan is a fitness coach, entrepreneur, and podcast host who has been creating online for over 12 years. Starting her journey in competitive bodybuilding, she now helps women move beyond quick fixes and body trends to build lasting strength, confidence, and self-trust.We Also Discuss:00:00 – Body Image, Ballet to Bodybuilding: Emily's Evolution08:09 – Beyond Trends: Redefining Balance and Harmony17:53 – Why Women Compete (and How to Truly Support Each Other)22:03 – Strength, Curves, and Owning Your Power31:37 – Discipline vs. Obsession: Building Resilience That Lasts39:54 – Coaching That Goes Deeper Than Reps & Macros46:21 – Motivation Is Overrated: Build Systems That Stick56:00 – Joy, Self-Care, and Finding Confidence Outside the GymThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads 1:1 – Ready to ditch the bullshit and start feeling good in your body?

As a little boy in Richmond Virginia, raising pigeons, Ray Christian made a friend with the same hobby. But there was something mysterious about Ray's new pal. This story was told at Spooked LIVE!

The term “culture wars” is most often associated with issues of sexuality, race, religion, and gender. But, as recent months have made plain, when Donald Trump refers to the culture wars, he also means the arts. He fired the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Republicans want to rename for him. His Administration fired the national archivist and the Librarian of Congress, and pressured the director of the National Portrait Gallery to resign; it is reviewing the entire Smithsonian Institution, looking for what the President calls “improper ideology.” Some view these moves as low-hanging fruit for Trump, and a distraction from bad press about Jeffrey Epstein, the Putin meeting, and tariffs. But Adam Gopnik believes that interpretation is a misreading. The loyalty purge at institutions such as the National Portrait Gallery is a key part of his agenda. “Pluralism is the key principle of a democratic culture,” Gopnik tells David Remnick. Could we be following the path of Stalinist Russia, where a head of state dictated reviews of concerts, Remnick asks? “I pray and believe that we are not. But that is certainly the direction in which one inevitably heads when the political boss takes over key cultural institutions, and dictates who's acceptable and who is not.” Gopnik recalls saying after the election that “Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert would be next.” “You would see them disappear,” he added. “Each time, we find a rationale for it or a rationale is offered. And it's much easier for us to swallow the rationale than to face the reality.”

On this episode, Tom goes "On the Aisle" with Jeff McDermott, the President and CEO of the Allies Solutions Center for the Performing Arts. They discuss Jeff's transition from a 30-year law career to leading a prominent arts center, the impact of supportive families and community pioneers, and the successful programming and diverse offerings of the center. Highlights include the upcoming 15th anniversary season, the Great American Songbook Foundation, and the ongoing efforts to enhance the community's engagement with the arts through diverse and world-class performances. Jeff shares anecdotes about past CEOs, his journey in the arts, and the collaborative and welcoming nature of the center. The episode also explores future plans, including the development of a museum in partnership with the Grammy Museum, and emphasizes Jeff's pride in the center's achievements and ongoing growth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Disciplined for Holiness | Luke 13:22–30 | The Narrow Door When I was young, I took piano lessons. My teacher was kind, but relentless. She circled the same mistakes week after week, making me slow down and repeat the basics until I could play them well. At the time, it felt tedious. But she wasn't punishing me—she was preparing me for something better. In the same way, God disciplines His children. His discipline is not aimless punishment, but loving training that shapes, strengthens, and prepares us for holiness. Through His Word, He teaches us the narrow way, that we may share in His holiness and enter the narrow door of life.

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar feels urgently contemporary in Rosa Joshi's new production at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival—one of America's largest and longest-running theater festivals, now in its 90th season. Staged in partnership with Seattle's upstart crow collective, the production explores the threat of autocracy, drawing on global histories of dictatorship. Performed entirely by women and nonbinary actors, Joshi's Julius Caesar offers new perspectives on a historically male-dominated political landscape. The result is a fresh reading of Shakespeare's classic tale of power, loyalty, and betrayal. In this episode, Joshi reflects on the production, the politics of performance, and why Shakespeare's plays continue to illuminate moments of crisis. >> Discover more about Julius Caesar at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

Demo Before Renno | Jeremiah 23:16–29 Anyone who has ever done a home renovation knows the mess comes before the beauty. Walls must be torn down before they can be rebuilt, dust clouds the air before fresh paint can be applied. In the same way, God's Word works like fire and like a hammer. It breaks down what is false, corrupt, and in the way—so that new life in Christ may be built up. Sin isn't just a blemish to be covered over; it's a deep corruption that requires demolition. The Word of the Lord refines us, burns away the dross, and rebuilds us in Christ's image. We must die before we rise.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has long been an important cultural landmark in D.C., bringing a variety of arts programming to the region while also serving as “the Nation's Cultural Center.” Since it opened in 1971, the Kennedy Center has also been largely apolitical. It receives some federal dollars, but sitting presidents have allowed the Kennedy Center's board of directors to operate and curate programming without any influence from the executive branch.That changed earlier this year, when President Donald Trump made himself the chair of the Kennedy Center board. And just this week, he inserted himself into the center's annual marquee event by announcing this year's recipients of a lifetime achievement award, the Kenney Center Honors. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with style reporter Travis Andrews about Trump's move to shake up the Kennedy Center, as well as his broader goals of reshaping arts and culture institutions in the United States.Today's show was produced by Thomas Lu. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Episode 100: A Moon for the Misbegotten by Eugene O'Neill Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Beth Wynstra Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. A Moon for the Misbegotten is the last play that Eugene O'Neill wrote. It is in some way a eulogy for his brother, Jamie O'Neill, who like the character of Jim Tyrone in this play, drank himself to death. In fact, it is also an epilogue of sorts to his autobiographical masterpiece Long Day's Journey into Night, where we first met Jim Tyrone. It is eleven years later, and Jim is about to leave the family home in Connecticut following the death of his parents, but not before saying a final goodbye to the woman who lives next door, Josie Hogan. Josie and Jim have unacknowledged feelings for each other, but their tortured moonlit night together does not offer them the salvation or future that they may have thought possible. As we record this episode, a new production of A Moon for the Misbegotten is playing at the Almeida theatre in London, and I am delighted to be joined by O'Neill expert, Beth Wynstra, to explore what one American critic called ‘a major minor-masterpiece”.

Can legacy arts institutions innovate like start-ups? Clive Chang thinks so. As President and CEO of YoungArts, he's reimagining how a 40-year-old organization can support today's multi-disciplinary artists—by questioning everything, embracing experimentation, and making space for creative risk.
