Who is really the daring one in the swinging lifestyle?Is it usually the guy with the dirty mind, always ready tomake the first move? Or are there plenty of women who, once they feelcomfortable, safe, and know there won't be any judgment, completely surpriseeveryone?In this episode of Swingers Couch Podcast,we're getting into one of the biggest assumptions in the lifestyle: who is actually the adventurous, kinky,outgoing one?We'll talk about the shy guy who never makes the firstmove, the woman who appears innocent but turns into the wildest person in theroom, couples where one partner always gets things started, and why the personwho seems the most reserved can sometimes have the dirtiest imagination.And most importantly, we'll talk about why this isn't reallya men vs. women question.Sometimes the best chemistry happens when two completely differentpersonalities balance each other out.

Why do people really enter the swinging lifestyle?For some, it's about adventure. For others, it's aboutbringing back the spark, meeting new people, feeling desired, or finallyexploring a side of themselves they never felt comfortable talking about.But what happens when the fantasy meets reality?In this episode of Swingers Couch Podcast, Carlostalks about what people think they want from the lifestyle versus whatthey actually discover once they get involved. We talk about making friends,building your lifestyle circle, having different interests from your partner,dealing with conflicts, respecting boundaries, and understanding that yourlifestyle journey doesn't have to look exactly like your partner's.And here's the uncomfortable question: Are you actuallylooking for the same thing as your partner?Because sometimes the biggest problem isn't finding otherpeople to play with. It's realizing that you and your partner may wantcompletely different things.This episode is about communication, trust, freedom,boundaries, and figuring out what YOU really want before the lifestyle figuresit out for you.And trust me... we're going to get into some uncomfortableterritory after the break.

Clarity Over Comfort What changes when a man stops using alcohol to escape—and begins confronting his life with clarity? On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Shane Ramer, host of That Sober Guy Podcast, for a transparent conversation about sobriety, masculinity, faith, family, accountability, leadership, and the courage required to ask for help. Shane shares how alcohol became a coping mechanism for stress, relationships, responsibility, and the pressures of life. After trying to quit on his own, he reached a moment of surrender: he recognized that asking for help did not make him weak or a failure. It allowed him to begin rebuilding. Nearly thirteen years later, Shane describes a life centered on his faith, wife, children, service to other men, and the daily practices that protect his sobriety and clarity. This conversation moves beyond the idea that sobriety is only about what someone stops doing. It explores what becomes possible afterward. In this episode CJ and Shane discuss: Recognizing when alcohol is subtracting from your life Using alcohol as an escape from unresolved problems Why surrendering to God is different from giving up The difference between religion and a relationship with God Why men need trustworthy relationships Shane's experience with Twelve Step recovery Recovery stigma and the men who will never enter a traditional meeting Why connection is essential to overcoming addiction What clarity makes possible in leadership and business How better sleep, nutrition, exercise, support, and community affect performance Replacing immediate gratification with long-term discipline Learning to have authentic fun without alcohol Why environments sometimes must change before behavior can change The consequences a man's decisions can create for his family Why asking for help is not a sign of weakness The danger of victim mentality What intentional leadership looks like The biggest lie men believe about alcohol The bigger Moneyway lesson Alcohol may temporarily change how someone feels, but it does not resolve what remains underneath. The unresolved relationship is still there. The financial pressure is still there. The fear is still there. The responsibility is still there. And when the temporary escape ends, those problems often return with additional consequences. Shane's journey demonstrates that clarity does not instantly repair every part of life. It gives a man the ability to see what requires repair—and the capacity to begin doing the work. That work requires faith. It requires support. It requires repetition. It requires accountability. And it requires the willingness to make the next right decision, even when nobody is applauding. That is clarity over comfort. That is Built For Purpose. About Shane Ramer Shane Ramer is the host of That Sober Guy Podcast and the founder of the Victory Circle, a free online community supporting men who want to live without alcohol. Drawing from his own experience with addiction, Twelve Step recovery, faith, mentorship, marriage, fatherhood, and nearly thirteen years of sobriety, Shane helps men pursue greater clarity, responsibility, connection, and personal leadership.

What Matters More: An Apology or Accountability? | Men Don't Know Podcast On this episode of the Men Don't Know Podcast, Chris and the boys call up a group of women to settle a debate that affects friendships, dating, and relationships everywhere: What matters more... an apology or accountability? Is saying "I'm sorry" enough, or do actions speak louder than words? Can someone be forgiven without changing their behavior? And when trust has been broken, what does real accountability actually look like? The guys hear honest, unfiltered opinions from women as they break down whether words or actions carry more weight when it comes to repairing relationships and moving forward after mistakes. Topics include: • Is an apology enough? • Why accountability is harder than saying sorry • Can you forgive someone who never changes? • Do actions always matter more than words? • Dating, relationships, and trust after betrayal • What women really want after they've been hurt • The difference between remorse and responsibility The answers may surprise you. Do you think an apology matters more, or is accountability the only thing that counts? Let us know in the comments.

PART 2: How & When To Ask A Question | Chris & Jess Have you ever asked the right question at the wrong time? In Part 2 of this conversation, Chris and Jess dive deeper into one of the most important skills in communication: knowing how and when to ask a question. Whether you're dating, in a relationship, talking with family, or trying to understand a friend, timing can be the difference between getting an honest answer and starting an unnecessary argument. Chris and Jess discuss: • Why people ask questions they don't really want the answer to • The difference between curiosity and confrontation • Questions that strengthen relationships • Questions that destroy trust • Why timing matters more than most people realize • Learning to listen instead of waiting to respond • How to create meaningful conversations that lead to understanding Sometimes the most powerful question isn't what you ask—it's when you ask it. What question do you think people ask at the wrong time the most? Let us know in the comments.

This week onJust the Tip Thursday, we're answering a listener email that dives intosome topics that don't get talked about nearly enough in the lifestyle.

“The obtaining of money is a lot easier than stewarding that money well.” Sean Frank (CEO, Ridge), Mike Beckham (CEO, Simple Modern), and Matt Bertulli (CEO, Pela Case & Lomi) dig into one of the most-requested topics from listeners: how do owner-operators pay themselves? And what should they be aiming for? The hosts walkthrough salary benchmarks, distribution strategies, and the honest math behind building long-term wealth in consumer.  The conversation goes deep on the tension between pulling money out now versus betting on the asset long-term, creating a business that outlasts you as CEO, and why chasing one big exit can be the very thing that ruins the deal. They also get personal by sharing what they'd tell their younger selves, the difference between financial security and financial freedom, and why the number you think you need is almost always wrong.  Powered ByFulfilhttps://9ops.co/fulfil Saras Analyticshttps://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescPostscripthttps://9ops.co/postscriptRichpanelhttps://9ops.co/richpanelNorthbeamhttps://www.northbeam.io/Aftersellhttps://9ops.co/4i3bb5Operators Newsletterhttps://9operators.com/

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amie Hornaman, also known as the Thyroid Fixer, to unpack the real reasons so many people struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormone imbalances without getting clear answers. We dive into her personal journey of being misdiagnosed multiple times, what finally led her to answers, and why so many patients today are still being overlooked in traditional medicine. Together, we discuss what is actually happening beneath the surface when it comes to thyroid function, including the critical difference between T4 and T3, the role of reverse T3, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment often falls short. I also ask the questions so many of you are wondering like how to advocate for yourself with your doctor, what labs truly matter, and how to know if your current treatment is actually working.  Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why “normal labs” might not mean optimal thyroid function The hidden reason some people never feel better on standard thyroid medication What your body may be doing instead of converting thyroid hormone properly The overlooked factors that could be sabotaging your energy and metabolism Why some people thrive on certain thyroid treatments while others don't How stress, gut health, and nutrients quietly influence your thyroid What most doctors were never taught about thyroid optimization The signs your body is trying to tell you something deeper is off Resources & Links Dr. Amie's Links Facebook: Amie Hornaman Nutrition and Functional Medicine YouTube: Dr. Amie Hornaman Instagram: @dramiehornaman Thyroid Optimization Guide: https://health.dramie.com/thyropause  7 Day Thyroid Healing Kickstarter: https://fixyourthyroid.com/7daykickstarter  Thyroid on Trial: https://health.dramie.com/thyroid-on-trial-optin

Six weeks since Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home in Tucson. No suspect. No arrest. And this week's news — more camera footage, nothing useful — isn't making it easier to stay hopeful. Tonight Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke take listener questions live and don't dodge the hard ones. Why are investigators suddenly focused on specific dates weeks before the abduction? What do missed ransom deadlines tell you about the person behind this? Is the sheriff's public messaging helping or hurting the investigation? And with Nancy being 84, needing daily medication, and now 46 days missing — what do Robin's experience and the research actually say about where things stand? Listeners have been carrying these questions. Tonight we work through them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today, I'm thrilled to reconnect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Carrie Jones. She is a naturopathic physician and hormone expert with over 20 years of clinical experience in women's health and endocrinology. In our discussion, we unpack the limitations of traditional hormone testing and explore the benefits of saliva, urine, and blood testing for gaining a more accurate picture of hormone activity. We explore the critical importance of lab timing and how the DUTCH test evaluates estrogen, metabolism, and cortisol rhythms. We also examine how liver detoxification affects the active form of thyroid hormone, T3, across phases one through three, highlight signs and symptoms that indicate an imbalanced gut microbiome, and wrap things up with some rapid-fire questions about the things you've probably wanted to ask. Stay tuned for another invaluable, humorous, and fun conversation with Dr. Carrie Jones. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How blood tests give only a snapshot in time without clarifying hormone pulses or tissue utilization How testing hormones at the wrong time can temporarily skew test results The optimal timing for testing in women with regular cycles and those in perimenopause What the DUTCH test measures How regular vs. irregular cycles affect which hormones should be tested Why the way that estrogen is metabolized matters more than the estrogen itself  How phases one, two, and three of liver detoxification influence estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid hormone activity Why free T3 is critical for eliminating cortisol What gut symptoms reveal about hormone elimination Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

If you have ever looked in the mirror and wondered why your skin suddenly feels different, looks different or reacts differently than it used to, this episode will feel like someone finally telling you the truth. Today we sit down with Jen Robinson, a San Antonio esthetician who specializes in real skin education for real women. We talk about the changes no one prepares you for, the impact of hormones, stress and lifestyle on your skin and the simple shifts that help you feel confident again. This is not a conversation about perfection. It is a conversation about understanding your skin, listening to what it needs and giving yourself grace as you move through seasons of motherhood and business. You will hear:

Send a textMenopause can feel like your body changed the rules without telling you. In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, Anthony sits down with Dr. Vanessa Soviero, an OB GYN and certified menopause specialist, to cut through the confusion around hormones, weight gain, energy loss, and what actually works for women navigating menopause today. They discuss symptoms many people do not immediately connect to hormones such as joint pain, brain fog, skin changes, and stubborn belly fat, and why being told it will pass often leaves women struggling longer than necessary. Dr. Soviero breaks down common misconceptions from the WHI study, explains when hormone therapy may be appropriate, and explores evidence based nonhormonal options for women looking for real relief. The conversation also gets practical. Anthony and Dr. Soviero talk about strength training for bone density and metabolism, nutrition shifts that help manage cravings when sleep and hormones are disrupted, and how visceral fat and insulin resistance can change during midlife. You will also hear about creatine monohydrate, sleep strategies that can make a real difference, and why an individualized realistic plan matters more than chasing quick fixes.Beyond the science, they discuss real world challenges women face including limited time with providers, overwhelming supplement advice, and navigating health information online. If you have felt dismissed, confused, or unsure where to start, this episode offers a grounded honest conversation designed to help you move forward with clarity.Subscribe to The Anthony Amen Show for more conversations on fitness, health, and real world lifestyle change, and share this episode with someone who needs it.This episode is for women going through menopause and anyone who wants to better understand hormones, health, and how to support women during this stage of life.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

Is inflation actually cooling—or just being measured differently? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz break down Truflation's real-time inflation readings (built from millions of point-of-purchase prices across multiple providers) versus the official CPI/PCE framework, which relies far more on surveys and sampling. We'll also address the big caveat: neither CPI/PCE nor Truflation perfectly captures what you feel “in the shops,” because inflation varies by geography, income group, and what you actually buy.

Today's live YouTube Chat Q&A covers the full spectrum—earnings season takeaways, the selloff-to-rebound pattern, and the big debate around Big Tech, AI, and margins. We walk through where tech and AI leadership stand now, whether AI is pressuring software profitability, and the “real world” constraint markets may be underpricing: power demand (including what ERCOT could mean for data-center expansion). We also hit the energy transition angle—why wind/solar intermittency matters, the critical minerals push, and why fundamentals still matter when narratives run hot. On the positioning side, we discuss whether metals look oversold, how to think about “rebound rallies,” and why investor discipline (process, rebalancing, and risk controls) beats chasing headlines. Finally, we shift to planning questions that come up constantly in the chat: Medicare timing (age 65 vs. later), enrolling in your 70s, key pitfalls with Medicare Advantage, and how COBRA fits into the transition. 0:00 - INTRO 0:19- Earnings Season Recap 4:05 - Markets Sell off to Rebound 9:05 - Tech Stocks & AI - Where are We? 10:17 - Is AI Destroying Software Profit Margins? 16:26 - Will ERCOT Pump the Brakes of Data Centers? 19:22 - Wind & Solar Are Not Consistent or Reliable 20:42 - The Critical Mineral Push 22:33 - Fundamentals Matter a Lot 24:19 - Are Metals Over Sold? 27:41 - Investor Discipline & Having a Plan 29:10 - This was Not a Forced Manipulation 30:45 - Leverage on Bitcoin 31:47 - Jumping on Medicare at age 65? 38:44 - Signing Up for Medicare in 70's 40:32 - Be Careful with Medicare Advantage 42:56 - The Thing About COBRA Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Danny Ratliff, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Register for our next Candid Coffee, 2/21/26: https://streamyard.com/watch/Wq3Yvn9ny5GV ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: ------- Watch our previous show, "The Trap of Chasing Returns," here: https://youtube.com/live/sKXpfWf8oRs?feature=share -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Dip Buyers Step In" is here: https://youtu.be/EY04EexrThs ------- Visit our E-book Library (no library card required!) https://realinvestmentadvice.com/ria-e-guide-library/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #StockMarket #SectorRotation #RiskManagement #ReflationTrade #PortfolioRebalancing #BuyTheDip #EarningsSeason #ArtificialIntelligence #BigTech #RiskManagement #Medicare
