Do you ever feel like there's a quiet tension simmering under the surface of your marriage?In this raw and honest conversation, we dive into how unmet sexual needs (and/or porn usage) —and a lack of emotional and physical connection—are contributing to frustration, moodiness, and even disconnection in marriage and family life.You might be surprised to learn that it's not just men who are feeling sexually frustrated—many women are too. And when this deep need for connection is unmet, it seeps into every area of life: parenting, partnership, communication, and even personal confidence.We explore how porn, masturbation, stress, and lack of emotional intimacy are silently sabotaging marriages—and how to rebuild connection, fulfillment, and joy through intentional effort and honest conversations.This episode is for couples who want more than just “getting by.” It's for those who want thriving, deeply connected, emotionally intelligent marriages that can handle the storms of family life and come out stronger.If you're ready to level up your relationship and break free from disconnection, this episode will give you practical, powerful tools to start healing and reconnecting—starting today.Key Takeaways:✅ Sexual frustration impacts your entire family dynamic✅ Porn and masturbation are damaging long-term intimacy✅ Women often want more & better sex—this is shifting✅ Great sex takes intention, health, emotional connection, and effort✅ You can't separate parenting and marriage—everything affects everything✅ Emotional intelligence is key to deeper connectionChapters:00:00 Introduction to Family Life Optimization02:58 The Interconnectedness of Life Aspects10:38 State Optimization for Better Parenting16:13 Understanding Sexual Needs in Relationships22:40 The Impact of Sexual Frustration on Family Dynamics28:34 Addressing Sexual Needs and Responsibilities37:56 The Importance of Hard Work in RelationshipsMemorable Quotes:

In this empowering and heartfelt episode, Catherine and Karen sit down with Dr. Tara Egan, founder of Egan Counseling & Consulting, to discuss the emotional and practical realities of co-parenting through divorce—especially in high-conflict situations. With over two decades of experience and her own personal journey through divorce, Dr. Egan shares real-world strategies that prioritize peace, protect children, and reduce costly legal and emotional power struggles. Key Takeaways: Parent Coordination: Dr. Egan explains how a Parent Coordinator acts as a neutral party helping parents follow custody agreements and make day-to-day decisions without returning to court—saving time, money, and stress. Nesting Isn't Forever: Nesting (kids stay in the home while parents rotate in/out) can be helpful short-term but rarely works long-term. Stability comes from clear routines and emotionally safe environments—not physical space alone. Kids Need One Healthy Parent: Divorce doesn't "mess up" kids—how parents behave before, during, and after does. Kids thrive with at least one emotionally healthy parent showing up with consistency and compassion. Responding to Financial Blame: When children repeat financial accusations (“Mom took all the money”), avoid defensive responses. Instead, calmly reassure them with facts, warmth, and emotional safety. Set the Tone in Co-Parenting Conversations: Stay out of judgment. Acknowledge that families change and model positive, future-focused communication, even when your co-parent does not. Don't Expect Your Ex to Suddenly Be Different: Your ex won't magically become a more emotionally responsive or financially generous person post-divorce. Accepting that helps reduce your stress and disappointment.

In today's episode, we examine the intensifying public rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The catalyst? Trump's recently proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which notably removes federal subsidies that have historically benefited Musk's ventures. Elon has not remained silent, and tensions escalated further when he retaliated by implying that Trump is listed among Jeffrey Epstein's known associates, suggesting this as the reason the full client list remains sealed.Major accusation.Is this an authentic ideological clash, or a calculated distraction? What are the political implications, and who truly benefits from this spectacle? Let's dissect the rhetoric, analyze the deeper motives, and apply biblical clarity in the midst of all of the chaos.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOopJ1q_VkwFOO-Q2RCLoc1uzsHwAP4yh-_ZFG-r8_S9idICTj6nR

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the framers of the Constitution did not grant courts, such as the International Court of Trade, the final authority on matters like tariffs, reserving that power for Congress. The Constitution gives Congress broad authority over taxation and spending, and through a 1977 emergency law, it delegated certain tariff powers to the president. Courts lack the constitutional basis to override such delegations. Historical records, including Madison's notes, the Federalist Papers, and state ratification debates, show the framers rejected giving courts supreme authority, like judicial review, to resolve separation-of-powers disputes. The framers of the Constitution, heavily influenced by Montesquieu, designed a government with a strict separation of powers to prevent tyranny, as Montesquieu warned that combining legislative, executive, or judicial powers in one entity leads to arbitrary rule and oppression. Congress should address this through legislation, not courts through litigation. Also, Sam Antar accused a Politico writer of "reputational laundering" for praising  New York AG Letitia James as a "Shadow Attorney General" in a Democratic shadow cabinet, while ignoring her federal criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud. Politico's omission of the DOJ referral shows the media bias, as James has targeted Trump, notably winning a $450M civil fraud case against him.  Later, the Wall Street Journal reports the decline of America's military-industrial capacity compared to China's rapid growth in the sector. The U.S. has allowed its defense manufacturing and supply chains to weaken due to underinvestment, outsourcing, and a focus on short-term efficiency over long-term resilience. This is frightening.

Do your kids struggle with tantrums, power struggles, or emotional meltdowns—and you're not sure how to stop the cycle without yelling or harsh discipline?After posting on Instagram about how we raised our 7 kids without yelling, punishments, or power struggles, we received so much interest and questions from parents wanting to know—is it really possible?Yes, it is—and in this episode, we share exactly how we did it.Raising emotionally healthy, well-adjusted kids starts with creating a strong foundation of love, trust, and connection.

In back-to-back explosive monologues, Tara delivers a raw, unfiltered breakdown of two urgent crises facing America: the escalating trade war with China and the looming U.S. economic meltdown. She reads word-for-word from a New York Post editorial exposing how Trump's tariff strategy forced shocking admissions from Chinese officials—including their role in the fentanyl epidemic—and critiques the Biden administration's weak follow-through. Tara then turns her focus to Washington's reckless spending, calling out both parties for pushing the national debt toward $47 trillion while the Federal Reserve quietly props up the economy with stealth bond buys. With passion and precision, she asks the hard questions: Can we really trust China? Can Trump save the economy again? And is America running out of time?

Qatar wants to gift Trump a $400 million jet, and the debate is already on fire—some say it's unethical, others question if it's even constitutional. But what's really going on here? In this episode, I unpack the bigger picture. I believe this move is Trump sending a message to Israel and Netanyahu: America—not Israel—is in control. And frankly, that message is long overdue. Israel has caused more harm than necessary in recent months, and it's time for the U.S. to reassert its authority on the world stage. This isn't just about a jet. It's about power, alliances, and who's really in charge.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Hayley Crane about supporting autistic and ADHD learners in ways that are truly affirming and compassionate. We dive into how visual supports and predictable routines can reduce anxiety, ease transitions, and help kids feel more confident and secure throughout their day. We also explore what to do when power struggles pop up, how to better understand the emotional fatigue that can follow a long day of navigating demands, and the importance of flexibility and connection in our interactions. Hayley and I talk about why it's helpful to reduce verbal demands—like asking fewer questions and making more observations—and how honoring each child's deep interests can boost engagement and build trust. This conversation is packed with real-world strategies for educators and parents, along with gentle reminders to care for yourself as you care for your students or children. It's all about creating supportive, responsive environments where autistic kids can thrive. Bio:  Dr. Hayley Crain is a clinical psychologist, adjunct professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and mom of two. She blends personal lived experience with clinical expertise to support neurodivergent kids and their families through inclusive, practical strategies. Dr. Crain holds a doctorate from The Chicago School and a master's from Columbia University. She's worked with top institutions across the U.S., including the CDC's SEED study, the May Institute, Children's Hospital Colorado, and the Waisman Center. Now back in her hometown, she runs Haven Psychology, offering neuroaffirming therapy, coaching, and assessments—always with empathy, real-life tools, and a touch of humor, informed by her own experiences with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety. Links:  Dr. Hayley Crain's website:  https://www.drhayleycrain.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/drhayleycrain/ Takeaways Power struggles can be minimized by picking battles wisely. Flexibility is crucial in supporting neurodivergent children. Understanding behavior as communication is key to effective support. Using interests can enhance engagement and learning. Transitions can be challenging for neurodivergent children. Visual supports can aid in understanding routines and transitions. Acknowledging a child's protest is important for their communication. Creating a supportive environment can reduce anxiety during transitions. Visual supports can be crucial for helping children transition smoothly. Predictable routines can create a sense of security for kids. An All Done Bucket is a valuable tool for ending activities. Repetition and visual cues are essential for memory retention in children. After school restraint collapse is a common experience for neurodivergent children. Teaching executive functioning skills can start at a young age. Connecting with children can be done without asking questions. Less talking can lead to better engagement with children.    You may also be interested in these supports: Visual Support Starter Set  Visual Supports Facebook Group Autism Little Learners on Instagram Autism Little Learners on Facebook

Pierre Poilievre's Conservative party, with the campaign's momentum and tightening polls, could yet declare victory in the federal election. But the party infighting that started early in the campaign already has some sniffing around a potential leadership change, as the Political Hack newsletter's Tasha Kheiriddin and Stuart Thomson discuss with Brian this week. Our 2025 election panel also gets into the surprises that could come with last-minute voters, the curious advertising blitzes of the two front runners in the race's dying days, and Liberal Leader Mark Carney's exorbitant platform promises and his growing smugness about his standing. They also consider the new, likely power status of the Bloc Québécois, should either party need the separatists to sustain a minority. (Recorded April 25, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices.

https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE PODCAST! This podcast discusses the intensity of astrological events leading up to the third Mars/Pluto opposition April 26 & the Taurus New Moon April 27!We begin by looking back, as that's how we learn best how certain astrological aspects in the sky have manifested within the collective. It's then we can filter this macrocosm of information down into the microcosm of meaning in our own personal lives. So, last week the Sun entered earthy, dependable, stubborn & change resistant Taurus, followed by an empathic Mars/Neptune trine on April 19. This shift became part of American support for the Supreme Court's early morning April 19 ruling that the U.S. must return mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the hellhole prison in El Salvador. It also awakened in us the knowledge that the government's denial of the constitutional right to due process by paying the El Salvadoran dictator $15M to house such prisoners is coming out of taxpayer money.By April 20's third quarter crisis in consciousness monthly lunar waning fixed square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun—which included the Moon's opposition to Mars & conjunction to Pluto, along with the Sun's square to Mars—we knew this was a set up for something potentially alarming to happen.And so it did, as hours later as the Moon perfected its conjunction to Pluto, the lord of the underworld, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 during the early hours of April 21. This event, occurring two days before the Taurus Sun's exact square to Pluto, & five days before the third Mars/Pluto opposition on April 26, echoed those of the recent past.This podcast discusses the details of the intense events which took place around the first Mars/Pluto opposition on November 3, 2024, the second on January 3, 2025. And what's been leading up now to this third Mars/Pluto opposition as part of this series of intense, potentially violent aspects in the sky. Meanwhile, as it wanes, we discuss the lasting effects of the Aries New Moon solar eclipse monthly lunar cycle, begun on March 29, at the same time as the heliacal rising of Venus during its retrograde cycle. And how these astro-events portended the fallibility of political leaders—with a specific look the dropping poll numbers of American President Donald Trump, & the misfortunes of unelected billionaire Elon Musk since he strayed from steering the helm of his Tesla company's ship to feed a multitude of life-saving U.S. Governmentally-funded programs "into the woodchipper."We look as well at the recent Venus/Saturn & Saturn/North Node conjunctions in the sky & whether or not we collectively take up the mission of reviewing our true values & making a future commitment to them. For example, do we value the rule of law in a democracy—or not? Do we value foundational facts & commitment in our relationships—or not?These kind of intense questions continue through the exact Mars/Pluto conjunction on April 26, and the Taurus New Moon which forms a frictionally tense T-square to the Mars/Pluto opposition April 27. This sets the tone for the month ahead as we attempt to figure out where we've been disempowered and where we may need to fight for future empowerment.We look at all of this through the lens of the U.S. Sibly birth chart from July 4, 1776--especially since April 19 was the 250th anniversary of the first shots fired in Concord & Lexington, MA, that began the U.S. Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.  And America's current Pluto return as a time when freedom from tyranny & the message of "no kings" rings out from a growing chorus of average American citizens across the land.By the time Venus moves back into Aries on April 30, Mars becomes her dispositor. That means Venus is once again the warrior &, as the ruler of the Sun in Taurus, we're all more inclined to defend & protect not only our own rights, but to fight for the rights of those who are less able to defend & protect themselves.  By the time Venus conjoins Neptune in Aries May 2, we may well see a greater empathic response from the collective related to a myriad number of issues, the importance of which the collective will have awakened to by then. That's as long as we allow the Taurus Sun to ground us & we don't go off into flights of fantasy about what's really happening around us.Be sure to tune in for all this & more starting Friday, April 25 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking Especially as we head toward next week's Pluto's station retrograde  & Uranus's conjunction to "off with his head!" fixed star Algol May 4/5, as these astro events are sure to be impactful since all planets are in direct motion until then—See you then!

“F*ck Around and Find Out” parenting—what even is that?! This week, Dr. Becky dives into the rise of the FAFO parenting trend. Why is this approach gaining traction in the age of gentle parenting?

Traveling during spring break can feel tricky because we can't necessarily take time off work when our kids are off from school. And trying to join a Zoom meeting from your hotel room or your in-laws' kitchen doesn't always feel great. This is why I love Airbnb when we travel–I can find a place with plenty of room to spread out, including a desk or table for dedicated work time, making it easier to have dedicated connection time with my kids. And, if you're thinking of traveling for spring break, consider hosting your home on Airbnb, too! It's a great way to help offset the cost of booking one yourself while opening up your space for another family also traveling! Your home might be worth more than you think.

Recently, I've been on the road spreading the word about my new children's book, That's My Truck: A Good Inside Story About Hitting!. I'm so grateful and excited to be on this book tour, connecting with our community in person. And it's also true that being away from home can feel hard. That's why I love Airbnb–I can find and book a place that feels just a little bit more like home away from home, somewhere I can come back to at the end of the day and recharge. Something else I love about Airbnb is that you can become a host while you're away by offering your home to someone traveling to your town!  Your home might be worth more than you think.
