In this episode, I sit down with Tristan Scott, an electrical engineer turned health researcher who's helping build healthier technology at Daylight Computer. He bridges two worlds that rarely meet: the precision of electrical engineering and the intuition of human biology. And what he's discovered is that our digital tools might be draining more than just our attention. We explore why grounding and sunlight matter more than most people realize, what really happens when EMFs meet the body's own electrical system, and why "energy efficiency" might be costing us our health. Tristan is designing tech that respects human circadian biology instead of hijacking it at Daylight Computer. Because our bodies are already electrical systems, the question is whether we're working with that power or against it.

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman, professional snowskater and LGBTQ+ advocate, shares his journey from hiding his sexuality behind aggressive board sports to building a life of authenticity in Portland. Growing up in Montana as a sponsored snow athlete, Ryan-Gorman used snowboarding and skateboarding as outlets for self-hatred and denial, pushing himself to dangerous extremes before hearing a podcast that changed everything. He reveals the complex reactions from family—his mom's unexpected resistance, his dad's surprising embrace, and grandparents who rejected him entirely. Ryan-Gorman explores masculine drag within the bear community, the importance of diverse LGBTQ+ representation beyond stereotypes, and the persistent question that haunts him in rural spaces: Am I safe here? This conversation challenges assumptions about what gay men look like, explores how coming out should be celebrated but not sensationalized, and offers insight into the ongoing struggle of navigating safety, identity, and belonging in America.

A divinely guided conversation with William Fitzroy - psychic development teacher and founder of Art of the Seer Academy.
Vandaag bespreken we het boek De democratische markt van Lisa Herzog. Subtitel: Hoe meer economische gelijkheid onze politiek kan redden. Lisa Herzog is een Duitse politiek filosoof. Ze is hoogleraar politieke filosofie aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Haar onderzoek richt zich op economische rechtvaardigheid, ethiek in organisaties en democratie in het bedrijfsleven. Engelse titel van het boek The Democratic Marketplace: How a More Equal Economy Can Save Our Political Ideals (aug 2025) Politics and the Economy (Elements in Political Philosophy) (October 31, 2025) 'De toekomst van werk: van hiërarchie naar democratie (2024) Citizen Knowledge: Markets, Experts, and the Infrastructure of Democracy (2023) Reclaiming the System: Moral Responsibility, Divided Labour, and the Role of Organizations in Society (2018) Ze heeft al een aantal boeken op haar naam, en al heel wat publicaties in de 6 jaar dat ze in Groningen zit. Toch is ze nog niet echt een bekend gezicht in Nederland volgens mij. https://www.rug.nl/staff/l.m.herzog/research?lang=nl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Herzog Een goed en duidelijk, maar droog wetenschappelijk boek. Met onderwerpen waar we de laatste maanden al vaker boeken besproken hebben, maar nu met een focus op de economie, en de mythe dat de markt alles oplost. Verschillende videos van haar talks online te vinden, veelal in het Duits. Trouw: Democratie en kapitalisme waren het powerkoppel van het Westen. Maar de klad zit in het huwelijk, betoogt politiek filosoof Lisa Herzog, en als we niet oppassen delft de democratie het onderspit. https://www.trouw.nl/binnenland/als-we-onze-economieen-niet-hervormen-verliezen-we-de-democratie-waarschuwt-filosoof-lisa-herzog~b6a1a1f2 Inleiding: De democratie democratiseren, de economie democratiseren 1 Markten, grote bedrijven en hun alliantie tegen de democratie 2 Werknemers: onderschikten of burgers? 3 Ongelijkheid: waarom democratiën er minder van nodig hebben 4 Van groei naar functies 5 Tijd voor democratie 6 De democratie repareren op open zee Inleiding: De democratie democratiseren, de economie democratiseren Betoog dat efficientie en groei, het fundament onder het kapitalisme, geen demokratische waarden zijn. Het economische systeem komt vooral ten goede aan de happy fwe, de mensen die al veel hebben. De ongelijkheid wordt steeds groter. We hebben al vaker gezien dat dit uiteindelijk tot steeds meer problemen lijdt en dat het voor iedereen slecht is. Er is een enorme focus op efficientie, terwijl zoals Herzog zegt, op de plekken waar het moet (natuurlijke hulpbronnen) is het een goed idee. De problemen van de moderne economische systemen zijn een slechte verdeling, onrechtvaardigheid, een gebrek aan ecologische duurzaamheid en onvoldoende mentale ruimte om meer existentiele vragen te stellen. (spijker op de kop) Belangrijke oorzaak, de focus op efficiëntie. Welke democratie willen we? participatie me een sterk deliberatief element zegt Herzog. Actief betrokken burgers (Eva Rovers) en burgers die meningen, perspectieven en argumenten uitwisselen (IDG). Rosa Luxemburg en huidige politiek - over wiens vrijheid praten we als we het hebben over vrijheid. Luxemburg zegt dat vrijheid, gaat over vrijheid van de degenen die anders denken. Anderen de rechten toekennen die je ook voor jezelf opeist. 1 Markten, grote bedrijven en hun alliantie tegen de democratie Als we op een romatische manier naar markten kijken dan lijkt dit de beste oplossing. Een plek waar mensen hun waren kunnen aanbieden en andere mensen dit kunnen kopen en onder druk van concurrentie worden de producten beter en goedkoper. Waar de eigenaar verantwoordelijk is en zich ook verantwoordelijk voelt voor wat ze maakt en de effecten rondom het bedrijf en de markt. Maar de markt ziet er al lang niet meer zo uit. De markt bestaat vaak uit grote bedrijven, zonder een aanwijsbare eigenaar,

Risk vs Pleasure Series Ep 165 Description: "If you are focused on the risk, or you're worried or you're anxious about what's going to go wrong, that is taking up too much of your brain. We need to deal with it and put it into perspective so that we can clear the path to joy and pleasure." —Dr. Sara Wickham Pregnancy is supposed to be a time of wonder, but too often the first word that comes up is "risk". Suddenly, every choice feels like a warning sign, and joy gets pushed into the background. No one talks about how heavy that constant fear can feel—or how much it steals from the confidence and pleasure that should be part of the journey. After decades as a midwife, researcher, and lecturer, Dr. Sara Wickham saw how the medical model's focus on risk overshadowed women's voices and experiences. Now, through her books and the Birth Information Project, she's breaking down the numbers and challenging the myths, showing women that evidence doesn't have to be scary—it can be liberating. In this conversation, Debra and Sara unpack how risk talk shapes pregnancy, why many "warnings" don't match the actual evidence, and how women can reclaim joy, confidence, and even pleasure in birth—including insights from her new book Plus Size Pregnancy. Expect tools, clarity, and a refreshing reminder that pregnancy isn't just about minimizing danger—it's about living the experience fully. Connect with Debra!

Send us a textIn this powerful kickoff to a 3-part Captain America series, Vanessa Jackson unpacks what makes Steve Rogers more than just a superhero — and how his journey mirrors that of so many teachers today. From being paraded as a symbol to reclaiming his purpose, Cap's story is one of values, conviction, and courageous action.Vanessa explores how educators, like Cap, often feel reduced to performance — test scores, politics, or being treated like glorified babysitters — instead of being honored as the impact-makers they truly are. If you're feeling lost in the system or questioning your next move, this episode will help you find your compass again.
Sarah Ward helps people get undressed — literally and emotionally.As a Certified Sexologist and Somatic Sex Coach, she guides clients to reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their pleasure, and shed shame rooted in religious and cultural conditioning.Before this, Sarah spent a decade as a wardrobe stylist and art director, with over 5,000+ photo shoots under her belt, to help clients feel confident fully clothed. Now, she helps them feel even better in their own skin.During this episode we explored the complexities of intimacy, communication, and sexual desires, particularly for older adults. We talked about the challenge of asking for what one wants in the bedroom, which I suspect, isn't solely a problem of the Boomer and beyond generation, but is challenging at any stage of adult life! We also spoke about the impact of hormones on libido, and the importance of trust and safety in relationships. Our conversation also delved into the concept of erotic blueprints, which is Sarah's area of expertise, and how understanding different desires can enhance sexual experiences. Ultimately, it all boils down to the need for open communication and the courage to explore fantasies without fear.Links:* Website: www.sarahward.co* Blog: * Social media: www.instagram.com/sarahward.coAs a FREE gift, Sarah invites you to download The Sensual Embodiment Guide, which is a 12-page ebook with an audio practice that listeners can use to help reconnect with their sensual selves.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his transformative “Shaman's Tips for an Amazing 2026” series with Part 3, diving into four more timeless lessons from Don Javier and Don Juan. Through their teachings, Jim reveals how much of what we call “reality” is merely a web of illusions—identities, fears, and appearances we've unconsciously created—and how to transcend them. He explores the illusion of identity, the toxicity of overthinking, and why reason and rationality can trap us in limitation. Jim also shares how to shift out of appearances and reclaim your awareness as the creator of your experience. And, in true Don Juan fashion, he closes with a blunt reminder: we don't get what we want in life because we're being ridiculous—stuck in self-doubt and fear. If you're ready to stop being ruled by fear, logic, or other people's expectations, this episode is your invitation to rise above the illusions that keep you small and embrace the truth of who you really are—pure, creative consciousness. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Replacing one illusion with another (02:52) Jim explains why most people simply trade one illusionary identity for another—and how to connect instead to the most empowering truth: that you are infinite intelligence. The toxicity of reason and rationality (12:01) Discover how overthinking, analysis, and constant reasoning can block intuition and spiritual flow—and why true awareness comes from sensing, not thinking. We are slaves to appearances (21:19) Jim reveals how focusing on appearances—money, health, or status—traps you in limitation, and why awareness of your creative power is the only true freedom. You don't get what you want because you're ridiculous (31:20) Learn Don Juan's hard-hitting lesson about “ridiculousness”—the self-talk and beliefs that make you doubt your worth, potential, and power. Reclaiming your divine identity (37:03) Jim summarizes how recognizing yourself as consciousness—the ultimate power in the universe—dissolves fear and transforms how you live, act, and create. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Your reality is built from your attention. When you stop overthinking, stop reacting to appearances, and remember you are infinite intelligence, everything changes. You are not your illusions. You are the creator behind them. Drop the ridiculous stories, trust your higher awareness, and step boldly into 2026 as the conscious, limitless being you truly are.

“The Lord says to Edom, ‘I will cut you down to size among the nations; you will be greatly despised. You have been deceived by your own pride because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. “Who can ever reach us way up here?” you ask boastfully. But even if you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down,' says the Lord.” - Obadiah 1:2-4Obadiah is the shortest book of the Old Testament. Standing at one chapter, 21 verses, it's a quick yet pointed announcement of judgment against the land of Edom. While the book is short, it didn't stop my guest and me from talking about it for nearly 45 minutes. Obadiah has a lot to teach us on what God is judging Edom about, while also warning us what to be on the lookout for in our own lives. It's a book about the results of pride, violence, and apathy. To help us navigate the book of Obadiah is Dr. Paul Raabe, Professor Emeritus of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Seminary, author of a commentary on Obadiah, as well as a new commentary on Isaiah and Reclaiming the Creedal Jesus in America.

Ben Azadi shares how he went from obese and depressed to a peak state of physical and mental fitness. Drawing from his book Metabolic Freedom, Ben reveals how changing your self-image rewires your biology, fasting activates your body's repair systems, and gratitude—what he calls "Vitamin G"—becomes the ultimate anti-inflammatory.

What if menopause wasn't a decline — but a powerful transformation? In this in-person episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB-GYN, best-selling author, and The Girlfriend Doctor, live from the Biohacker Expo in Miami. Together they explore how hormones, mindset, and metabolism work in harmony — and how understanding this connection can help women move through perimenopause and menopause with energy, joy, and confidence. Dr. Cabeca shares her philosophy that menopause is mandatory, but suffering is optional. You'll learn how oxytocin, progesterone, and cortisol shape mood and metabolism, and how simple shifts in lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset can restore balance. The conversation dives deep into topics like insulin resistance, fasting, sleep, stress, and the surprising role of oxytocin in healing and longevity. If you're ready to rewrite the story of menopause and embrace your second spring with vitality and purpose, this episode will show you the way.

In this Super Human Life masterclass, Coach Frank Rich brings you a powerful compilation from three of our most impactful conversations with Annie Yatch — trauma expert, entrepreneur, and founder of NorthStar Leadership. Across these deep and revealing clips, Annie breaks down how unresolved trauma shapes who we love, how we lead, and the life we build. She unpacks the hidden ways our childhood stories, nervous system, and subconscious beliefs are running the show — influencing our relationships, businesses, and even our sense of purpose. Whether you're a high-performing man, an entrepreneur, or a husband trying to lead with strength and compassion, this masterclass will show you how to recognize the role trauma plays in your patterns — and how to turn that pain into power. Annie's frameworks bridge trauma healing, nervous-system regulation, and masculine/feminine polarity, offering practical tools for staying calm in conflict, leading your relationships from grounded strength, and finally finding freedom from the chaos that once defined you. If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles, struggled to stay present with your partner, or wondered why success still doesn't feel fulfilling — this episode will help you connect the dots between your inner story and your external world. Expect To Learn The hidden role of trauma in attraction: why we're subconsciously drawn to partners who mirror our childhood wounds. How trauma distorts polarity: what happens when feminine energy leans into masculine control, and how to restore balance and safety in love. Reading relationship dynamics: signs your wife or girlfriend is operating too much from her masculine — and what to do about it. How to stay calm and neutral in conflict: the mindset and nervous-system tools to respond instead of react. Integrating your masculine and feminine sides: how real strength comes from emotional awareness and internal balance. Why entrepreneurs are addicted to chaos: understanding trauma-driven success and the addiction to adrenaline, crisis, and control. The story that runs your life: how your subconscious childhood narrative shapes your relationships, business, and reality. Why men struggle with vulnerability: the link between safety, emotional connection, and masculine openness. Healing for young men: how men in their 20s can start connecting heart and mind to break generational cycles. Annie's personal story: her journey from trauma to transformation and how it shaped her work in leadership and coaching. How trauma becomes calling: turning pain into purpose by rewriting the story that once held you captive. Victimhood vs. ownership: how unhealed trauma breeds a victim mindset — and how to break free. Trauma, the subconscious, and your nervous system: why your body remembers what your mind tries to forget. Gut health and trauma: how your microbiome affects mood, emotional regulation, and healing.
