“Conduct with Clients As a Professional Cuddler, I: Before sessions I will make clear to the client any fees that I will charge for my service. I will ensure that all interpersonal transactions between the client and myself are non-exploitative and directly relevant to their care. I will refrain from selling any product or other service to the client during sessions. Ensure that clients understand the platonic nature of the service before working with them. Agree not to pursue sexual arousal, or sexual interaction with my cuddler within or outside of sessions. If you would like to develop a sexual relationship with a client, all professional cuddling interaction must stop. Best practice is to maintain a set period of no contact before beginning such a relationship. Model the communication of personal boundaries and what I find comfortable throughout each session. Refrain from any use of any substance that would prevent me from being fully present and mindful during a session. Make the physical and mental well-being of each client a primary consideration in all decisions and interactions. Practice respectful personal hygiene. Disclose any illness or conditions that may be contagious before interacting with clients in person. Interact with clients within the limits of my competence. To the best of my ability, recognize when clients require care that is beyond my capability to provide, and attempt to refer clients to appropriate health care professionals when necessary.” https://www.snugglewithsam.com/code. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

ZIM-ZALA-BIM FROM FLORIDA Welcome to the season 6 finale of The Radio Vagabond travel podcast.  In the true spirit of season finales, this one is extra-long and exciting. First, I travel to Key West and visit Ernest Hemingway's 6-toed cats. Then, I make my way to Orlando for something truly magical. UNLOCKING KEY WEST Key West is the southernmost point of the United States, and as I mentioned in the previous Radio Vagabond episode from Cancún, it is also the closest point to Cuba. It sits at the end of the Florida Keys as a series of hundreds of small islands spanning more than 100 miles (160 km) from one end to the other. The drive takes roughly 2.5 hours from end-to-end but you could make a full day of it and stop at some interesting places along the way if you're in the mood for discovery. Key West is famous for its watersports, lively nightlife, amazing beaches, historic sites, and its pastel coloured conch-style architecture. Walking around Key West is probably the best way to see it. You get to see some intriguing homes, courtyards, and gardens while enjoying an adult beverage, great food, and live music. You can start in the center of town at the Key West City Cemetery where you can get a glimpse of the island city's past and its morbid sense of humor, as exhibited by gravestones that read, "At least I know where he's sleeping tonight" and "I told you I was sick". Duval Street is one of the most energetic strips of shops, bars, and cafes anywhere in the world that is host to the famous Sloppy Joe's bar, a favorite hangout of famed American author, Ernest Hemingway. The tormented writer lived on the island in the 1930's and did a lot of his writing here (roughly 60% of his life's work) — when he wasn't getting sloppy-drunk at Sloppy Joe's. HEMINGWAY & KEY WEST The author's home is now converted into one of the biggest attractions on the island: the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. The house is now occupied by over 56 cats, and the cat theme is a special feature of the house. Hemingway was given a white six-toed cat by a ship's captain and some of the cats who live on the museum grounds now are actual descendants of that original cat, named Snow White. Key West is a small island, and it is absolutely possible that many of the cats on the island are related. Touring the house and the office where Hemingway did his writing was very interesting. But one of the more stunning and unusual features of the Hemingway Home property is the in-ground swimming pool — an extraordinary luxury for a residential home in 1930s Key West. The final cost of construction in 1938 was $20,000. Even more mind-boggling is the sheer labour of digging a massive hole in solid coral. The Hemingway pool — the only one within 100 miles in the 1930s — was truly an impressive architectural feat. Apparently, Ernest did complain to his wife Pauline about the growing expenses of construction costs. The story goes that he was frustrated and threw down a penny on the half-built pool patio and said: “Pauline, you've spent all but my last penny, so you might as well have that!” Now, there is a penny embedded in cement at the north end of the pool to memorialise Ernest's outburst. I got chatting to Rusty, one of the tour guides and Hemingway aficionado who told me a bit more about the larger-than-life author and his works. “The Old Man and the Sea is perhaps his most famous work as it is taught in most schools. But I think a good place to start is his first novel The Sun Also Rises which is a wonderful recapitulation of his time in France and Spain. It is a great novel based on real people he met while in Europe. But for me, I really love To Have and To Have Not, which is the only of his world based in Key West and even gives Sloppy Joe Russel a cameo.” “Traveling made Hemingway the man we was. He was a journalist first and foremost, so he wrote about what he experienced that inspired his books. Without his traveling, he wouldn't have been as prolific as he was” Rusty tells me. MAGICAL ORLANDO Florida is a big flat state – and another part of it attracts even more visitors thanks to its boat load of theme parks, including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, LEGOLAND, and many more.  In Orlando, I met Stefan Oswald – my Airbnb host and part-time magician who turned out to be a really interesting guy. When he was younger, he travelled around Europe and did street magic. And I was curious to know how that happened. “I watched a lecture by the great magician Coz Cosmo who travelled around the world performing magic for a living. Thought to myself, “Wow, that's amazing. I want to do that”. So, I put on a show in Dupont Circle in D.C. which was successful. It progressed into a bigger show with more audience members. I was working a part-time job at that time while performing magic on the streets.  Performing street magic seemed like the perfect way to travel. So, I bought a one-way ticket to Madrid with only my show items in a carry-on bag with a change of underwear and a toothbrush – no credit card or cash. I had a few 6-minute shows that I travelled around performing which turned out to be a great adventure.” Stefan stayed at hostels and random beds he found out about on his travels. After Madrid, he moved on to Barcelona where the crazy stuff happened… “I started performing street magic on Las Ramblas, which is forbidden. But within a minute, I had a huge crowd watching me until the police came to disperse the crowd. They told me I was not allowed in Barcelona anymore… On my way back to my hostel in a shady part of the city, I was stopped by a group of prostitutes who intended to rob me. But after I showed them a card trick, they ended up tipping me!” After our chat, I recorded a short Facebook Live video of Stefan performing a quick trick for me. I've watched the video so many times and it still blows my mind that I can't figure out how he does it. Can you figure out how he does it? Go to The Radio Vagabond on Facebook and give me your best guess. HOSTING EMPIRE From Spain, Stefan's magic dreams led him to Paris and then Amsterdam, where he learned a lot from other street performers and perfected his craft. During his time in Europe, he discovered Couchsurfing which inspired Stefan to host people from around the world. He then started managing three Airbnbs and rented out a few cars (including a Tesla) on Turo, which is how I came to meet the magical host. When I met Stefan, he was busy building his Airbnb and hostel empire. Check out the 3D animation of his idea of a Top-Hat-hostel. Well, that plan with the hostels has been put on the back burner for now due to something called “Covid 19”. Let's just say the timing for a huge project like that wasn't perfect. Still, it might happen sometime in the future but in any case, so much has happened since then. Apart from his dreams to build a hotel/hosting empire, Stefan's entrepreneurial mindset drives him to develop new ideas constantly. He also tells me about how he worked as a Professional Cuddler, his desire to produce a thousand children, and having a thousand hostels to fund his work on technology that will make us live for 500 years and have gills and falcon eyes...Oh, plus sending microorganisms to more than 30,000 planets to see which ones will sustain human life – and then send self-replicating robots to the ones that will. Wow, right? The way Stefan Oswald's mind works reminds me of someone who has founded PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and just comes up with ideas constantly. Is he the next Elon Musk and how can I invest in OsCorp™, as he called it…? MØDE MED TRYLLE-STEFAN IGEN HER I 2021 Jeg har faktisk lige besøgt Stefan igen for omkring en uge siden, og hold da op, hvor er der sket mange ting i den korte tid, jeg har været væk. Han bor i et nyt hus, som han kalder The Magic Mansion. Hans ”tusinde-vandrehjem-plan” er som nævnt sat i bero, og i stedet er han gået andre veje. ”Siden vi så hinanden sidste gang, er jeg flyttet her til Magic Mansion, som jeg har startet sammen med andre tryllekunstnere. Jeg optrådte dagligt i The Great Magic Hall i tre år – hvilket også blev aflyst på grund af Corona-pandemien. Og det var begrænset med turister i mine Airbnb-lejligheder. Derfor måtte jeg ændre min forretningsmodel for at tjene penge og har konverteret mine lejligheder til langtidsleje. Jeg slog mig sammen med en anden tryllekunstner-ven, og vi driver nu udlejning med firmaet Super Host Florida og udlejer biler under navnet Sling Kings. Vi har 6 Tesla'er og 35 Slingshots, som vi snart fordobler. De går som varmt brød. Stefan har også en plan om at blive vagabond. Han arbejder på en plan om at rejse til 52 lande på 52 uger og lave trylleshows i teatre. He transitioned his Airbnb rental business from short- to long-term occupations. He also plans to become a fellow travelling vagabond himself. He has his sights set on traveling to 52 countries in 52 weeks and performing magic in theatres around the world. Du kan følge ham på Instagram og følge med I om han kommer i nærheden af dig. Han påstår, at Danmark er på listen. Be sure to check out Stefan's magic tour here. AND FOR MY FINAL TRICK... TA-DAAA! That's it for Season 6 of The Radio Vagabond. In this season, I've been mostly in the US but with visits to Canada and Mexico. But all North America. Season 7 starts in September and that is going to be so different. We're going to many different countries and even many different continents. Join me in Guatemala, Bali, El Salvador, Caribbean, Andorra, Uruguay, Yellowstone National Park, Rio de Janeiro, and so many other exciting places. It's going to be a whole new experience listening to The Radio Vagabond, and I can't wait to share it with you. My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.

Wendy is rightfully proud to have come up with a Devo-related fact that Robin didn't know. The news ranges from a wild cat jump and Van Morrison's "tinfoil millinery" to the new CDC mask guidelines, a worrisome upcoming review by the Supreme Court of a Mississippi abortion law, and the latest Israel-Palestinian conflict (and uncertainty about how to think and talk about it).

Theories on the reasons why people choose to do drugs is vast as the medical field may define it as a reward deficiency syndrome as this can be related to self-medicating. Some use as they live in loneliness or a world where they don't feel wanted, nurtured, or even belong to their family, society, and even this world. According to Aristotle, human beings are “social animals” and therefore naturally seek the companionship of others as part of their well being. Physical contact distinguishes humans from other animals. From a handshake, a hug or a pat on the back, we have developed emotional expression through physical contact. What about the internet and this world where human touch is in danger of becoming rare, if not obsolete. As Covid-19 has been taking the lives of people close to us, we have been required to separate from everyone. When someone dies in the hospital, they are alone and unable to have any physical contact or comfort as they pass away.

Just CLICK HERE: Interview with Professional Cuddler Janet Trevino | Healing Touch Interview with Professional Cuddler Janet Trevino | Healing Touch is an interview that I did with Platonic Touch specialist Janet Trevino. In this interview, we talk about Cuddle therapy. Janet Trevino explains why people need touch. She explains that healing touch is an essential need that all people have and should embrace. Janet and other Cuddle Therapists are here to help us learn more about the importance of physical intimacy. Janet Trevino does a great job of explaining everything about the process of cuddle therapy and All you have to do is listen to her explain her belief about healing touch. One thing that really stuck out to me about this interview was the part where she talked about how some cultures value intimacy more than others. I thought this was interesting because it ties into the eurocentric values that we have in America. During the interview with Janet I bring up the TED Talk she did about Cuddle therapy and healing touch. You can watch Janets Trevino Ted TAlk titled Rediscovering Platonic Touchn| Janet Treviño | TEDxSanAntonio right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7m_q... .

Care is the founder of The Birth Education Center in San Diego, CA. When Care discovered HypnoBirthing for the birth of her daughter in 2008, it changed her life’s path. Care believes that babies can experience a birth day that is magical, loving, and gentle. When families are educated to resolve fears, birth becomes a beautiful positive experience.

From there, Care started her own business, San Diego HypnoBirthing where she has been educating families since 2009.

She has also trained students nurses at SDSU and held nurse trainings in local hospitals. She is a Board member at The Nizhoni Institute for Midwifery and served as Vice President of San Diego Birth Network. Here’s an overview of what Care shares about in this episode: A bit about her family background… what it was like to grow up in a big family with hopes of having the same and then be faced with infertility Her struggles with repeated miscarriages (6 in total) and the impact that they had on her physical, mental, and emotional health How Care’s oldest daughter Angie came into their family at 5 years old via adoption Getting pregnant for the 7thtime and how that baby (a little girl that would be named Finley) became the first and only one that Care was able to carry to term The role that getting diagnosed with and treated for MTHFR had on Care’s ability to carry Finley to term Care’s struggle to connect with Finley while she was pregnant because of all the miscarriages and how that experience has informed her understanding of trauma How Care went from wanting a completely medicated birth “with ALL of the drugs” to being an avid student of Hypnobirthing who switched to a birth center and midwifery care. What Care’s labor and birth with Finley was like – a waterbirth in a birth center followed by an unexpected postpartum hospital transfer for the baby Coming to learn, a few hours after she was born, that Finley was very sick and eventually being told that she wouldn’t make it What it was like for Care to cope with Finley’s terminal diagnosis, especially after already experiencing so much loss How Finley beat all the odds and survived despite her severe birth injury What life is like for Care and her family today, including how Finley is doing Care’s current role as a birth worker and the impact that her own beautifully unique and challenging birth experience has had on how she supports other families in their childbearing years The importance of connection when it comes to birth and what it looks like to connect with your baby and your partner(s) throughout pregnancy and birth Some helpful tips on how to work through fears and past traumas related to/stemming from birth Some info about using birth story medicine and therapies like EMDR to work through birth trauma --- If you liked this episode of the Birth Kweens Podcast, tell your friends!

In a previous life, Kassandra Brown was a parenting coach. Then one day, about six years ago, she was cuddling with a friend of hers when she had a personal breakthrough. So when she was searching for what to do next in her career, she landed on a combination of coaching and physical touch. She signed up for a company called Cuddlist. Kassandra believes that American culture has warped the idea of physical intimacy, and she’s on a one-woman mission to change that - one cuddle session at a time.

In this episode, I lie down with my housemate Tiger. Tiger goes by many names, but we'll only use two of them here. Tiger is a Professional Cuddler, or, Cuddlist. Her cuddling name is Ellen. You can find her on Cuddlist.com. She's also a reiki practitioner, a trained yoga instructor, a comedian (check out "The Comedy Witch"), and a cats fanatic. That's the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical theatre version of cats, to be clear. In lieu of performing in the actual musical, Tiger cosplays regularly as feline, and soon plans to host Cat Cuddling events at Hacienda Studio, in which the cats are actually humans in full cat costume because "you could cuddle real cats, but they're unreliable." She writes and performs funny songs, and last year I saw her in an hour-long one-ish-woman show entitled "Kiss Me, I'm Jew-witch." She sang about celebrity sex dreams and her period. Her parents were there. It was pretty amazing. Tiger is the closest thing I have at this point to a sister. We have deep talks in the kitchen, during which we usually quote the title of her yet-to-be written inspirational memoir, "Breakthrough Junkie." She scrapes me up off the floor when I need it and texts me that there are Puffins in her cabinet for a late-night snack, when I don't. I love her. I hope you will. Come lie down with us.
