I don't like to admit it, but one of my first thoughts when we experienced Thai culture was "How do they eat so much white rice and stay so thin?" Whether or not we realize it we believe certain narratives about how we approach food, its role in overall health without ever really questioning the truth behind them. I know I did. Kylie Sakaida, a nationally recognized well loved registered dietitian with over 6 million social media followers, comes on the show to bring a refreshing perspective to healthy eating that honors both nutritional science and her strong cultural background. Have you ever noticed that 'healthy cookbooks' don't include a lot of asian recipes? That changes HERE! Kylie courageously shares her personal struggle with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), a less common eating disorder characterized by extreme food avoidance. Her journey and recovery ultimately inspired her career path and compassionate approach to nutrition counseling. The conversation challenges common Western diet misconceptions, particularly around cultural foods like rice and noodles. Drawing from her Japanese-Hawaiian background her take on nutrition is refreshing and welcome. I know you'll feel the same! Kylie and I connect over similar parts of our eating disorder recovery, laugh over words that make me cringe and drool over recipes like her mason jar noodles that I can't get enough of. Follow her @NutritionByKylie across social platforms for more practical tips and recipes & get a copy of her book here! -------This episode was sponsored by our friends at: N-2 Water!

Kayla Nicole steps into the Underground Lounge: After Hours and immediately takes things to another level. What starts as a laid-back convo quickly turns into a raw, no-holds-barred session about dating, DM etiquette, wild reality TV experiences, and all the unspoken rules of modern romance.She breaks down her time on Special Forces hanging from helicopters, and dropped into icy water, all for a check (and a little self-growth). But don't get it twisted, she's never doing that again.From there, the crew spirals into hilarious debates: Is it shallow to pass on a man with busted sneakers? Could you date a mortician? Why does the trashman suddenly sound like husband material? And who's really running the DM game—men or women?They also tap into the zodiac chaos (shoutout to Scorpios and Aries), reality TV setups, and one painfully relatable story about a man singing the karaoke song to someone else—right in front of Holly.With the “F*** It Bucket” in the mix, things get even more unfiltered—touching on squirting myths, sex standards, and that one song you'd use to communicate for life. Spoiler: it's not Usher.Funny, wild, and way too real—this is After Hours in its purest form. No scripts, no filters, just the kind of conversation you wish you were part of.

What if the person you trusted as your spiritual mentor was actually casting a spell to manipulate your mind, isolate you from loved ones, and hijack your reality? In this explosive episode of our "Bewitched" series, I sit down with Dr. Robyn McKay and Jia Dafu to unravel a story of spiritual manipulation, emotional abuse, and the dark underbelly of high-control coaching. Jia bravely shares her experience working with "Betty", a so-called spiritual mentor whose toxic tactics went far beyond typical coaching.From sleep deprivation to planting seeds of paranoia about family and loved ones, Betty created a cult-like environment where truth and lies became indistinguishable. Jia opens up about how Betty's insidious methods of gaslighting, emotional isolation, and mind games left her questioning her own sanity.We dive into the bizarre dynamics of "energetic agreements", the manipulation of spiritual gifts, and the trauma bonds that formed when vulnerability was weaponized. You'll hear how Betty convinced Jia to break off relationships, adopt a delusional identity, and even channel business strategies that were stolen and marketed as Betty's own work.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone navigating spiritual and coaching spaces. We're not holding back as we expose the dangerous patterns of cult-like mentorship, share how to spot red flags, and discuss the reclamation of self-sovereignty after spiritual abuse.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:41) Episode Recap on Instagram(02:23) In Today's Episode...Jia Dafu(03:08) Special Bonuses on The Mothership(06:48) Jia's Naive Start and Initial Impressions(09:49) Santa Fe Retreat - The Taker Element and The Delusional Confidence(18:10) Dark Psychological Practices(26:58) Mind Block and Manipulations(32:36) Life Changes After Santa Fe - Inverted Portals(38:44) The Croatia Retreat - The Big Being(44:26) Spell Casting and Paranoia(51:53) Psychotic Breakdown, Silent Resistance and The Mysterious Enemy(01:00:00) Returning Home: The Shift.

In this episode, we interview mother and son Ashlee and Michael, hosts of the podcast “Michael and Mom Talk Cancer." They share their personal cancer experience and discuss topics such as managing work and finances, the impact of cancer on athleticism and identity, and the importance of maintaining positivity and mental health. They also touch on the concept of toxic positivity and how different individuals have different approaches to dealing with their illness, the challenges of comparing stories and outcomes, as well as the balance between quantity and quality of life. Michael and Ashlee share their experiences of living with the constant reminder of mortality and finding joy in the small things, while also emphasizing the importance of connection and offering practical tips for navigating the cancer experience. Key Highlights: Having a strong support system is crucial for navigating the challenges of cancer as well as life, in general. Acceptance and adapting to new circumstances can help you thrive throughout your cancer experience, but it's also okay to be upset and angry (you have every right to be). Maintaining a realistic outlook while embracing positivity is important when living with cancer. About our guests: Meet Michael Cramer, a 22-year-old cancer survivor and bone marrow transplant recipient, known for his social media influence. Born in Paris and raised in Miami, Michael's athletic background includes surfing, skating, and being part of the Olympic Development team for windsurfing. Ashlee, also known as "mom," has a diverse background as a dancer turned early childhood educator turned cancer caregiver. In 2014, tragedy struck when her husband was diagnosed with Large B Cell Lymphoma. Ashlee became the sole provider for their three children while caring for her husband until his passing in 2016, which brought the family closer together. In July 2020, heartbreak struck again when Michael was diagnosed with an incredibly rare and aggressive cancer, Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, with less than 200 documented cases ever. Despite the average survival being only 8 months, Ashlee quit her job to care for Michael full-time. After enduring chemotherapy, radiation, a bone marrow transplant, and various life-threatening complications, Michael miraculously survived. Throughout his journey, Ashlee never left his side, strengthening their unbreakable bond.  Turning their heartbreak into a story of "beauty in pain" and love, Michael and Ashlee started a podcast called "Michael and Mom Talk Cancer," along with a website, blog, and YouTube channel. While Michael is still in treatment for complications, he is alive and in remission. Together, Michael and Ashlee strive to fulfill their purpose of love and connection, inspiring not only the cancer community but anyone in need of motivation.

Reality Check: Piggy Back Off Of Last EpisodeIn episode 64 of The New Marriage Podcast, Cass and Kathryn Morrow offer a reality check to manage challenges in marriage. Based on insights from the last chapter, practical strategies for maintaining a positive outlook and dealing with issues that arise in relationships are explored. Join them as they offer valuable advice, real-life examples, actionable steps to strengthen your marital relationship and adaptively guide you through obstacles

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories in which reality contrasts with the dreams, perceptions, and actions of the characters.  In “The Leap,” by Louise Erdrich, a mother's unusual skill set changes the outcome of events.  The reader is Elizabeth Reaser.  In “Death and the Lady,” by Ben Loory, even the Grim Reaper harbors illusions.   And his parents' damaged marriage haunts an adult child in Delmore Schwartz's “In Dreams Begin Responsibilities.” Both the Loory and the Schwartz are read by multi-talented actor Denis O'Hare, and Wolitzer talks to him about his craft.

For this episode of Brewstilled, reality checks was the theme. NFL teams in the House of Lombardi for week 7 of the 2023 NFL season faced their set of reality checks. Three teams in the House of Lombardi got a harsh reality check by losing games they probably should have won. The Jaguars won their game against the Saints, but the Jaguars also came close to losing after dominating the Saints. Are the Jaguars due for a reality check? The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Detroit Lions in a dominating fashion in what was a statement win. Are the Baltimore Ravens the AFC team to beat? As for the Detroit Lions, what happened? Did they get exposed? The Raiders lost to the Bears and their season is likely over. Should the Raiders consider a fire sale to rebuild their franchise? The Seahawks closed the gap in the NFC West in their win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Broncos won their game over the Green Bay Packers, but will the Broncos benefit from the win? As for the Green Bay Packers, are they in trouble? The Jets, Cowboys and Panthers were on bye week, but events in week 7 may benefit them. All this and more will be discussed here on Brewstilled with a Czech Style Pilsner from Moonlight Brewing as the beer pairing!

UW-Whitewater and UW-River Falls met in another of the big battles that should determine who goes to the playoffs out of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, whether it's one, two or three teams. And even though one of the most decorated offensive players on the field was held in check -- not to mention off the field -- for the vast majority of the game, River Falls still had a shot at the end. We chat with UW-Whitewater coach Jace Rindahl about his team, his fired-up sideline demeanor, his decision to start going for two in the second quarter and more in this week's podcast. And Matt Walker of UW-River Falls talks about what's still there for his Falcons to accomplish. But there's more ...

It was a big week for dreams getting crushed just a little bit as well this week. Washington U. had designs on getting into the D3football.com Top 25 (they were already ranked in the coaches poll) but fell at home to Augustana. Carleton fans were looking for a little respect up at St. John's after a 5-0 start. And King's took down Lebanon Valley, which had been riding high ever since Week 1 against Franklin & Marshall. Plus, who got a game ball out of the CCIW? And the NESCAC? What were the interesting stats of the week, and who was having fun in Region 1, pulling through in Region 2, what's to see in the 3, who's looking for more in the 4, showin' some drive in the 5 and got something to fix in the 6? Plus, how are the Top 25 voters looking at Hardin-Simmons? Patrick and Greg tackle that and more in this week's podcast.

We tend to live most of our lives as intellectual endeavors: we know, we see, we might even understand, but we rarely take the time to feel the sensations that go with. Those sensations — good, bad and in-between — are the experiences of LIFE. When we're accustomed to bypassing those feelings, it requires rewiring our systems in order to really feel alive and present, for ourselves and for each other. In today's episode we walk you through a self-connection practice that widens your lens and gives you time to feel your experience. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Inner Glow Circle's CEO Olivia Chapman, and Director of Sales Sam Synett, discuss how being out of alignment in life can create misalignment and lack of action in your life coaching business. The irony, right? You can't do business if your life is spiraling. Liv and Sam break down actionable steps you can take and red flags to look out for if this has happened or is happening to you in your business, and what you can do to glow through the process. KEY POINTS: How Sam pivoted her business when she felt her life and offers were no longer in alignment  How to take action for yourself when you feel the need to change your niche as a Coach. How to spot marketing tactics that create a recipe for disaster, I.e. offering how to have a “10K month” when the expert themselves has never done that.

A hot topic right now in coaching is ethics and education. People have questions about practices and whether or not certain practices might be doing more harm than good. And I believe that, as coaches, we should be embracing these questions rather than shying away or being intimidated by them. How can all these questions be a good thing? First of all, it gives us the opportunity to discuss trauma, the nervous system, changes in the industry over time, and the positive outcomes countless people have experienced. Secondly, it gives us the opportunity to make strides in our own practices to help even more people. Let's tackle this timely topic. “The freedom and the open space in the coaching field means more creativity in how we can be effective and serve our clients… to be able to truly create something unique and powerful.” – Molly Claire What You'll Learn Value in being unregulated Lack of education results Draw from other industry ethics and standards Prepare for trauma responses Work toward a higher level of service Not a unicorn business Contact Info and Recommended Resources Watch for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from Molly on Friday, October 6, 2023 regarding an amazing offering coming in 2024!  Listen to these previous episodes on ethics in coaching: Unacceptable Coaching Practices Ethics and Coaching: Integrity In Your Business    Connect with Molly Claire Create A Killer Program For Your Clients: Registration fills fast so get on the January 2024 waitlist!

The shame spiral is REAL. When you have ADHD, setting goals is one of your favorite things to do. Executing on those goals, however, is another matter. It doesn't help that the fitness industry is NOT made to support those of us who seek novelty in the day to day events. If you've got ADHD - or any other special sauce that causes executive dysfunction - this podcast is for you.
