You can have a loving partner who compliments you, supports you, and chooses you every day—and still feel completely undesired. The surprising truth is that the problem usually isn't your partner's attraction… it's how desire is being interpreted and received in your relationship.Feeling sexually desired is one of the most powerful emotional experiences in a relationship. It boosts confidence, deepens connection, and brings energy into your partnership.But many people in long-term relationships quietly struggle with the opposite feeling: “My partner loves me… but I don't feel wanted.”In this episode of Sex for Couples, certified sex therapist and intimacy coach Heather Shannon explains why feeling desired can be more complicated than it seems. Even when your partner appreciates you and cares deeply about the relationship, subtle psychological patterns can block you from actually feeling their attraction.Heather breaks down three common reasons people stop feeling sexually desired by their partner, and how shifting your perspective can dramatically change how you experience attraction, connection, and intimacy.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy feeling desired is partly an internal experience, not just something your partner createsHow an external locus of control can unintentionally make you feel rejected or unwantedThe subtle ways your partner may already be choosing you and expressing attraction that you might be missingHow old beliefs about worthiness or attractiveness can block you from receiving desireWhy couples often experience “mixed signals” around attraction even when both partners care deeplyHow body image, stress, and life transitions (like parenting or aging) can impact your ability to feel wantedPractical ways to start receiving your partner's desire instead of dismissing itWant Help Improving Your Sex Life?If you're struggling with mismatched libidos, emotional disconnect, or feeling unwanted in your relationship, Heather works with couples and individuals to address the deeper psychological patterns behind intimacy issues.Learn more about her Pathway to Passion coaching program and request a free consultation at:

Brad's father recently passed away, inspiring us to take time to honor the everyday heroes who show up without seeking recognition the people who teach us the most important lessons without even realizing they're doing it.Brad shares memories of his father who worked as a Teamsters driver and never missed a day of work, taught discipline without lectures, and showed integrity by owning mistakes when his job was at risk.The lessons came through presence rather than instruction being available when needed even if lengthy conversations weren't his style, showing up consistently for 45 years regardless of how he felt, and demonstrating values through actions instead of words.We explore how the most powerful teaching happens through observation rather than explanation, why consistency builds the credibility that matters when mistakes happen, and how being present counts more than being perfect.Highlights:How daily consistency builds the kind of credibility that carries you through mistakes and tough times.Why the most important lessons get taught through actions and presence rather than lectures or explanations.What integrity looks like when you have to own up to decisions that put everything at risk.The difference between being available and being perfect why showing up matters more than having all the answers.How learning to observe patterns and connect dots comes from watching people who lead through example.Please subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.

Sam DeWitt got told like every millennial to go to college and get a degree. The path from there to becoming a master mechanic wasn't anything he could have planned, moving through different roles and companies before landing somewhere that changed his entire perspective on what leadership could be. His supervisor Bob showed him what servant leadership actually looks like creating space for people to grow by recognizing where they need help and empowering them to learn instead of expecting them to already know everything. We explore how admitting what you don't know opens the door to real learning, why seeking knowledge directly from people doing the work beats any manual, and how hands-on practice with real failure scenarios builds the next generation of skilled technicians.HighlightsWhy companies banking on operators training replacements fails when the operator is protecting their own job instead of teaching.How servant leadership that recognizes strengths and weaknesses across teams while empowering people to struggle and learn changes careers.Why maintenance requires some innate ability beyond what's teachable and finding people who want to work on broke stuff every day is hard.Why creating the right training tools can work better than prescribed ones.Get in touch with Sam:PodcastLinkedInGet in touch with us:Check out the Blue Collar BS website.Steve Doyle:WebsiteLinkedInEmailBrad Herda:WebsiteLinkedInEmailThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

March arrives with intensity. The planet feels loud, structures feel unstable, and many are questioning what is happening both externally and internally.In this monthly Akashic Message, Nimesh Radia opens the Akashic Records and channels guidance for the collective for March. The message makes one thing clear: the chaos you are witnessing is not random. It is part of a powerful transition. Old systems are collapsing. Egos are being exposed. Structures that no longer serve humanity are breaking down.And in the middle of it all, you are being cleared.This is not a month to overthink or force clarity. It is a month to shift from head to heart. To focus on the healing on the inside. To nurture your nervous system. To water your garden through self-care, time in nature, and grounded daily choices.The Records remind you that you are a superhero. You are being called to stand in your power, shine your light unconditionally, and trust that everything is divinely timed. Pain may be inevitable in times of transition, but suffering is optional. You do not need to be consumed by external chaos to care about the world.This message is an invitation to ask for help, lean into community support, and allow yourself to be held by the universe, your guides, and aligned souls around you. The shift is real. The transition is powerful. And your soul chose to be here.Trust the process. Trust divine timing.

Jackson, Organized a Protest That Took Multiple Hostages, Among Them Martin Luther King Sr. iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, and Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment today announced the launch of "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts. The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life. One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose. Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide. Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting. "This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later." "It's an incredible, unbelievable story when you first hear it," said Hans Charles, co-creator and producer. "That it happened on a campus like Morehouse College, in a city like Atlanta, at such a volatile time, speaks to the importance of telling and exploring what is quintessential American History." "What makes the story of 'The A Building' so compelling is how clearly it reveals the purpose and power of protest," said Nathan Kloke, Executive Producer for Imagine Entertainment. "When Hans and Menelek first brought us this pivotal chapter of American history, it unfolded like a heist film-fast-paced, surprising, and utterly gripping. We're excited to bring audiences along for the ride." "This is premium documentary storytelling that connects history to the present," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "'The A Building' revisits a moment that feels both historic and urgently relevant, revealing how student voices helped shape lasting institutional change." "The A Building" is part of a growing slate of documentary podcasts from iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment, including"Hello Isaac," "Unf**cking the Future," "Big Sugar," "The Tao of Muhammad Ali," "Obscurum, and "The Secret World of Roald Dahl," which explore iconic figures, cultural flashpoints, and untold stories through deep reporting and cinematic storytelling. Nathan Kloke and Kara Welker are Executive Producers for Imagine Entertainment in partnership with oddarts media. Katrina Norvell is the Executive Producer for iHeartPodcasts. "The A Building" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available weekly on Fridays on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.Episodes available here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/imagine-audio-the-a-building/id1692268936 HOST BIOSHans Charles is an Emmy award-nominated cinematographer and writer/producer, best known for Netflix's 13TH, and Showtime's  WU-TANG CLAN: OF MICS AND MEN.

Nush knew by sophomore year that traditional college wasn't her path. Automotive classes in high school led to NASCAR Technical Institute, then CNC machining when motorsport jobs required connections she didn't have. Now she's built Sisterhood of Trades, a Discord community of 850 women worldwide supporting each other across different trades. We explore why women still face basic safety issues like inaccessible restrooms and unlit parking lots that employers ignore while claiming to support women. Nush shares the harsh reality where reporting harassment leads to punishment instead of accountability, how LinkedIn networking creates more opportunities than degrees, and the vision to fund scholarships providing toolboxes for women entering trades so they don't start behind like she did.Highlights:How a worldwide Discord community of 850 women proves there's massive demand for peer support across trades.Why employers claiming to support women while ignoring accessible restrooms, lactating rooms, lit parking lots, and safe building access is empty lip service.The accountability gap where women reporting harassment about their bodies face punishment while leadership protects the men creating hostile environments.How university paths aren't the only option and successful fulfilling careers exist without the debt.The scholarship vision to provide toolboxes and resources so women don't start trades careers at a disadvantage.Subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.Get in touch with Nush: InstagramLinkedInSisterhood of TradesGet in touch with us:Check out the Blue Collar BS website.Steve Doyle:WebsiteLinkedInEmailBrad Herda:WebsiteLinkedInEmailThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Fresh out of college with a construction management degree, Bryce walked onto job sites telling field crews how to build based on what the book said.Fast forward to 2022 when he became a general manager and led his company to their largest financial loss ever at $1.5 million, forcing him to lay off 66 people.Instead of quitting, Bryce stood in front of the 35 remaining employees, wrote "I'm sorry" on a whiteboard, and owned the failure completely.We explore how treating people like numbers on a spreadsheet destroys companies, why chasing titles instead of impact sets you up for disaster, and how Bryce turned things around by asking field crews to teach him instead of pretending he knew everything.He shares his journey through alcohol and nicotine dependence trying to handle stress, the weekend journaling session that saved his career, and why the middleman mindset matters more than any title on your business card.Highlights:Why requesting to work with the toughest superintendents who didn't respect him became the turning point for earning trust.How treating a 100-person company like a spreadsheet with budgets and assets instead of people led to catastrophic financial loss.The moment where owning complete failure in front of his team changed everything.How to retain Gen Z talent by showing them the impact they're making instead of dangling titles and pay as the only rewards.How building personal power through relationships beats title power every time, especially when you're the middleman holding culture together.Subscribe to Blue Collar BS for practical advice on running your business better.

You already know how to write learning objectives. You reference Bloom's taxonomy. You understand Moore's outcomes framework. But here's the real question:When you write a learning objective, can you clearly identify the two to three specific clinical tasks that must happen for that objective to be achieved?In this episode—based on a webinar I participated in with the Good CME Practice Group—we go deeper than frameworks. We unpack what actually sits underneath a learning objective and how that layer determines whether your CME changes practice… or simply delivers information.What We Explore in This EpisodeWhy learning objectives are signposts—not the design itselfHow to break each objective into 2–3 concrete clinical tasksThe role of workflow, format, and audience context in determining granularityHow learning science (cognitive load, retrieval practice, feedback) strengthens action-focused designWhere CME programs most commonly lose alignment between need, content, assessment, and outcomesKey TakeawayIf you can't name the specific clinical actions required to meet an objective, the content won't drive behavior change.Design lives underneath the objective.Next StepIf this episode resonated, try this:Take one learning objective from a current project and ask:What are the two or three specific clinical actions underneath it?Where do those actions appear in the content?Where are they assessed?That exercise alone will elevate your design work.And if you want structured practice applying this level of thinking—with feedback, live coaching, and a community of CME professionals—explore WriteCME Pro.This is where writers become design partners.ResourcesGood CME Practice GroupMentioned in this episode:AI Practice LabBuild a Practical, Safe, Repeatable AI-assisted Workflow in Just 4 Weeks.

Perimenopause libido dropping after 40? If sex feels different—lower desire, more dryness, shorter fuse, less connection—your hormones (not your relationship) may be the missing piece. In this episode of Ask a Sex Therapist, Heather Shannon talks with board-certified OB-GYN + functional/integrative hormone expert Dr. Tara Scott about the most common hormone shifts that impact women's sex drive across postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause—and why women's desire is often more “Goldilocks” than linear (too little or too much estrogen can cause problems).You'll learn how hormone testing can be interpreted when timing is right, why blood levels don't always match what's happening in your tissues, and how chronic stress can quietly deplete DHEA and testosterone (even in your 30s and 40s). Dr. Scott also breaks down practical, realistic ways to support hormone health—movement, food quality, sleep, stress tools, and reducing endocrine disruptors—without trying to overhaul your entire life overnight. If you're dealing with low libido, vaginal dryness, painful sex, fatigue, sleep changes, or irritability, this conversation will help you understand what's normal, what's treatable, and how to advocate for better care.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hormonal Health01:22 Understanding Hormonal Shifts Throughout Life03:41 Differences in Male and Female Libido14:00 Personalizing Hormonal Treatment28:46 The Impact of Lifestyle on Hormonal BalanceWant to address the emotional and psychological factors blocking your sex life?

Too many trades and construction business owners ignore their accounting until tax season hits, then spend days manually entering receipts from shoeboxes instead of using technology that does it automatically. We tackle the business operations side that gets pushed aside when you're busy doing the work that actually gets you paid. Steve reveals his manual QuickBooks process while Brad walks through why people fail to pay themselves properly, the three different rates you should be charging as owner-operator-CEO, and how to stop leaving money on the table with bad estimating. We explore tactics for building overhead into quotes without overcomplicating the math, why technology like receipt scanning apps can save days of work, and how understanding your customer's busy season changes your sales follow-up game completely.Highlights:HighlightsWhy paying yourself only after everything else is taken care of means you're getting a fraction of what you're worth instead of paying yourself first.How to calculate what you actually need to charge by separating your field labor hours from your CEO hours from your ownership compensationWhy most jobs are quoted wrong because overhead and profitability aren't properly estimated into the numbers.The garage door company example where tactical empathy in follow-up messaging closed the deal after understanding their busy season.Why seven touches before giving up beats three attempts, but only if you change your approach when the message isn't landing.Subscribe to Blue Collar BS for practical advice on running your business better.

Effective this Friday, the show will be called "Sex For Couples" instead of "Ask A Sex Therapist." Make sure to follow the show so you don't lose it. This is to reflect who we are serving and the fact that the current format often tackles topics that are common for couples, but isn't necessarily focusing on answering questions posed to a sex therapist. So, just trying to be more accurate. FYI, we'll still do some listener Q & A episodes here and there! The artwork will be a bit different as well, but will use the same image of me. If you want to see what the new artwork will look like, you can check out the YouTube channel.

Starting with a shop vac in a Ford Ranger, DT built a grease trap company that now runs 14 trucks across Washington State with his sights set on going national before turning 40. He's built a team that runs the business smoothly when he's not there, and employees talk up the company so much they're recruiting people from completely different industries. We explore how unconventional leadership creates this level of ownership, why creative benefits matter when you can't compete with corporate packages, and what happens when you give people freedom to figure things out instead of controlling every process.Highlights:Why 13 years of trial and error taught DT that internal communication was the missing piece until hiring a CFO.When employees ask for more responsibility, letting them take it and own it completely creates better results than telling them exactly how to do it.Monthly company shutdowns for yard day and meals show employees you value spending time with them beyond just getting work done.How DT's willingness to admit he screwed up 100 times makes employees want to help build the company instead of just collect paychecks.Why mistakes are inevitable but what you do about them determines whether your team fears failure or learns from it.Make sure to subscribe to the Blue Collar BS podcast where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.Get in touch with DT: WebsiteFacebookInstagramGet in touch with us:Check out the Blue Collar BS website.Steve Doyle:WebsiteLinkedInEmailBrad Herda:WebsiteLinkedInEmailThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Sex After 50 doesn't have to decline — in fact, for many people, it gets better. In this episode of Ask a Sex Therapist, Heather is joined by Karen Bigman, a sex and relationship coach specializing in midlife and sex after 50, for an honest, funny, and deeply validating conversation about aging, desire, body changes, and intimacy. They explore why so many couples assume that low libido, painful sex, or loss of desire is just “part of getting older” — and why that belief is often what actually harms a sex life the most. From menopause and perimenopause to body image, shame, communication, and emotional intimacy, this episode reframes sex after 50 as something that can be playful, connected, and deeply satisfying. You'll hear practical insights about: Why sex drive changes with age — and why that doesn't mean sex is overHow menopause, hormones, and vaginal health affect desire and pleasureWhy mental foreplay, laughter, and connection matter more than performanceHow to talk about sex with a partner when it feels awkward or intimidatingLetting go of obligatory sex and rebuilding pleasure without pressure Why kissing, novelty, and communication are essential for long-term intimacy This conversation is especially helpful for: People navigating midlife, perimenopause, or menopauseCouples wondering how to keep sex fun and connected after 50Anyone struggling with desire discrepancy, body confidence, or sexual shamePeople curious about sex and agingPartners who want to better support each other through aging and change If you've ever wondered whether great sex is still possible later in life, this episode offers reassurance, science-backed insight, and permission to stop forcing what doesn't work — and start enjoying what does.
