Many of the most loyal, dedicated men often find themselves confused when their relationships struggle despite genuinely wanting them to succeed.In this eye-opening episode of "So You're Living in a Simulation," Joli (@joli.artist) shares a fascinating pattern she discovered while reading veteran memoirs that reveals something profound about how we're all programmed to approach love.Men are taught to see women as "base camp" - the safe retreat you return to for rest and healing. But what if she's supposed to be your "battle buddy" instead - an equal partner fighting life's battles right alongside you?"Life is a battlefield for all of us. But while men are trained to see it that way, women are thrown into it without the training - yet we're still here, taking hits right alongside you."The episode invites listeners to consider questions such as:• How the same loyalty skills that work in the military can transform romantic relationships• Why emotional intelligence isn't weakness - it's advanced tactical thinking• The hidden programming that makes successful men fail at love• Real solutions using military-style operational frameworksJoli reads from her powerful article "Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp," breaking down exactly why partners leave after years of feeling like background characters in their man's survival story. But this isn't just criticism - it's a blueprint for change."You know how to assess risk, scan for threats, and triage under fire. So let's run the same framework in your relationship."The breakthrough insight: Men already possess all the skills needed for deep intimacy - they just haven't been taught to deploy them domestically. Using combat metaphors throughout, Joli shows how emotional support is actually advanced tactical operations, and why treating your partner's pain as "real intel" changes everything.For veterans and civilians alike, this episode offers a path from emotional isolation to true partnership, because if you can handle a battlefield, you can definitely handle a relationship. You just need the right operational manual.Article: Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp; She's on the Battlefield Too.https://medium.com/@joli.artist/dear-men-shes-not-base-camp-she-s-on-the-battlefield-too-24000e470f21youroneblackfriend.com•••Timestamps:00:00 Introduction: Veterans and the simulation awakening03:40 The warrior class in a dystopian society07:13 Deep dive into veteran memoirs and war psychology10:58 The intentional cycle: trauma to reenlistment14:54 The recurring pattern: warriors abandoned by love21:05 Article reading: "Dear Men, She's Not Base Camp"42:51 Reclaiming your life after being weaponized•••Key Explored Questions:What's the difference between base camp and battle buddy mentality?Why do men treat male friends differently from female partners?How to respond when your partner is emotionally distressed?How to apply tactical thinking to love and partnership?Why do veterans struggle with civilian relationship adjustment?What does operational respect mean in relationships?How to break free from toxic relationship programming?•••#relationships #veterans #ptsd

What did you think of this episode? Send me a text message and let me know!Have you ever hesitated to open up with other women because you feared judgment, competition, or being labeled as “too much”? If this hits home, I've got good news: you are not the problem. In this episode, author and comedian Tova Leigh shares stories from her new book Good Girls  Gossip and explains why reclaiming gossip, as deep, truth-sharing connection among women, is revolutionary. We talk about letting go of the “good girl” roles we've outgrown and what it means to live more authentically in midlife.Tova introduces her powerful “and also” mindset, which allows space to be both messy and wise, uncomfortable and growing. It's a simple shift that invites freedom from perfection and black-and-white thinking.This is a conversation about real talk, shared wisdom, and the beauty of being witnessed by women who see you as you really are.Connect with TovaGood Girls Gossip is available now!Instagram: @tova_leighWebsite: www.tovaleigh.comLike what you learned?

What does it really take to keep America's biggest city from falling into chaos? Dr. Phil sits down with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry for a no-holds-barred conversation about juvenile gangs, violent crime, and a justice system that's letting criminals walk free. But it doesn't stop there — they tackle the disturbing rise in antisemitism, from attacks on Jewish residents to hate-filled rhetoric on college campuses. With over 90,000 ghost cars and 20,000 illegal guns taken off the streets, this is a battle to save the soul of a city. Mayor Adams says, “This is Gotham… we need to be Batman.” Because if New York falls, what happens to the rest of the country? Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!

I open up about my own experiences with old patterns resurfacing and toxic people, including an ex I thought I had moved past, unexpectedly re-entering my life. Drawing from the profound teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza, I explore the idea that these individuals are not random—rather, they are divine catalysts designed to help us awaken, grow, and remember our worth. These encounters push us to confront our wounds and ultimately reclaim our power.Instead of asking, “Why me?” I invite you to ask, “What did this prepare me for?” These painful yet powerful experiences are often the keys to unlocking our resilience, strength, and deeper healing.

In this episode of FYI – For Your Innovation, ARK's Director of Research Brett Winton sits down with Brad Feld — co-founder of Foundry, Techstars, and longtime venture capitalist — to unpack his latest thinking on startup communities, mentorship, and how founders can build better networks by giving first. After taking time away from public life to reflect, Brad returns with a new book, Give First: The Power of Mentorship, and a sharpened view on the distinction between transactional ecosystems and community-led innovation. He shares lessons from nearly two decades with Techstars, thoughts on remote vs. in-person work post-COVID, and how mentorship can be redesigned for the next generation of entrepreneurs. The conversation also explores the cultural shifts introduced by AI, the hidden friction in monetizing online engagement, and why Brad believes the best way to shape a network is to invest in others before you know what you'll get in return.Key Points From This Episode:00:00:00 Why Brad Feld “hibernated” from public life and how it changed his perspective00:04:24 From default yes to default no: Reclaiming time and creative energy00:06:28 Navigating remote work: Company culture and post-COVID office dynamics00:09:49 When revenue goes negative: COVID-era crisis stories from Rover and SeatGeek00:12:25 The Give First philosophy — and how it became Techstars' guiding principle00:17:50 Finding mentorship as a founder: What works and what definitely doesn't00:19:15 The power of peer mentorship and showing up without expectations00:23:16 How online culture's transactional mindset erodes community trust00:26:00 Boulder Startup Week and the importance of local founder energy00:30:41 Brad's Random Day tradition: 15-minute meetings, one goal per person00:35:17 Techstars vs. YC: Origins of the mentor-driven accelerator model00:40:27 Building startup communities from scratch: What actually works00:46:05 Founders must lead: Differentiating between startup communities and ecosystems00:49:00 Mentorship at scale: Applying Techstars' playbook to community growth00:54:08 Frictionless networks: Why “Give First” accelerates stronger connections01:00:16 AI's impact on software development, legal workflows, and personal productivity01:04:07 Coding with AI: Brad's firsthand experience building a web app with Cursor

If wealth is up, why is happiness down? In this soulful episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, Shari sits down with educator and award-winning author Jeff Golden to explore one of the biggest contradictions in modern life: we have more money than ever, yet we're more disconnected and unfulfilled. Drawing from his book Reclaiming the Sacred, Jeff shares how we've been conditioned to chase the wrong things—and how to realign with what truly matters. You'll hear: Why money only accounts for 2–4% of happiness What really drives our well-being (and it's not what you think) How our culture of consumption is numbing us, not fulfilling us What “enough” actually looks like—and how to know when you've reached it Why micro-actions are more powerful than big life overhauls How to model a healthier money narrative for your kids (and yourself) Reclaiming the Sacred, Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World was named Best Environmental Book of 2023 by IndieReader, and winner of the Grand Prize at the Nautilus Book Awards (previous winners include the Dalai Lama, Brené Brown, and Barbara Kingsolver).

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!Have you ever noticed how a simple shift in language can completely transform how you feel? In this enlightening episode, I share a powerful insight from my conversation with the incredibly talented Kristen Anderson Lopez about what I call "energetic choice."We dive deep into the transformative power of shifting from "I should" (which keeps us trapped in shame) to "I could" (which places us in capability) and finally to "Do I want to?" (which restores our power of choice). This simple but profound linguistic shift completely changes our relationship with ourselves and our decisions. Through personal examples and practical wisdom, we explore how these subtle language changes can liberate us from shame-based thinking and reconnect us with our authentic desires.The conversation naturally extends to how we perceive others. We discuss the liberating truth that everyone is always doing their best in any given moment with the resources they have available. Rather than judging the person looking at their phone while walking up subway stairs, what if we engaged our imagination to create empathetic possibilities about their situation? This creative reframing not only exercises our empathy muscles but prevents us from creating unnecessary suffering for ourselves through judgment.This episode offers a refreshing perspective on how language shapes our reality and how small shifts in thinking can create profound changes in our daily experience. Whether you're struggling with self-judgment or finding yourself irritated by others, these insights provide practical tools for bringing more compassion, choice, and even playfulness into challenging moments. Stay tuned for the full conversation with Kristen Anderson Lopez dropping next week on "Stop Time Live in the Moment" – but in the meantime, this nugget of wisdom might just transform how you move through your day.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

In this episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily teams up with Dr. Scott Lyons, a licensed holistic psychologist and trauma expert, to tackle one of the most common relationship challenges: when sex starts feeling like just another item on your to-do list. From exploring why intimacy can lose its spark to practical strategies for reigniting desire, this conversation gets to the heart of what happens when pleasure becomes obligation. We dive deep into the psychology behind sexual disconnection, examining how stress, routine, and unspoken resentments can transform what should be joyful into something that feels burdensome. Dr. Scott shares insights on nervous system regulation and how our bodies respond when we're overwhelmed, while Dr. Emily offers practical advice on communication, scheduling intimacy, and the importance of prioritizing pleasure throughout the week—not just in the bedroom. This episode addresses the reality that many couples face: mismatched libidos, the pressure to perform, and the challenge of maintaining sexual connection amid life's demands. We explore how to shift from duty-based sex to desire-driven intimacy, the role of variety and spontaneity in long-term relationships, and why "priming for pleasure" throughout the week is essential for a fulfilling sex life.

"Sorry, can I just say something?", "sorry to bother you!", "oh, sorry!" - sound familiar? If you find yourself saying "sorry" for taking up space, having an opinion, or even when someone else bumps into you, you're not alone. That tiny, five-letter word, meant for genuine remorse, often becomes a reflex, a way to make ourselves smaller, more agreeable, and to diffuse a discomfort that sometimes only exists in our own minds. In today’s episode, we’re exploring chronic apologising - we'll uncover how this seemingly polite habit can actually be a sign of deeper anxieties, impact our self-worth, and shape our experiences in our 20s. Things we discuss: Why apologising goes beyond politeness Ties to self-worth, anxiety and attachment Over-apologising as barriers to true connection Reclaiming your voice in your career Practical steps to break the habit If you’ve ever felt like you're apologising for your very existence, or if "sorry" has become your default setting, this episode is for you.

What does true intimacy look like through God's eyes—and how do we reclaim it after the devastation of betrayal? In this powerful episode, I'm joined by my friend Michelle Castro, host of the Rip It Off Podcast, for a deeply honest conversation about biblical intimacy, sexual shame, and how to rebuild confidence after infidelity. We unpack: What biblical intimacy actually is (and how it radically differs from the world's version of sex and connection) Why reclaiming your sexual confidence is a vital step in the healing journey—especially for betrayed women What Scripture reveals about sexual wholeness in marriage How to break free from the lies of sexual shame with truth and grace If you've ever struggled to feel worthy, wanted, or whole again after betrayal, this episode will give you clarity, courage, and Christ-centered hope.

Drawing from her own experiences of burnout and overwhelm, Kris Ward illustrates the importance of recognizing when the demands of entrepreneurship become unsustainable. Ward advocates for the strategic use of virtual assistants (VAs) as a means to reclaim valuable time and energy. By delegating tasks that do not require a business owner's direct involvement, entrepreneurs can focus on high-impact activities that drive growth and innovation. This shift not only alleviates stress but also fosters a healthier work-life balance, allowing individuals to pursue their passions without being weighed down by the minutiae of daily operations. Ward's approach to delegation is rooted in collaboration and empowerment. She emphasizes the necessity of onboarding and training VAs effectively, ensuring they are aligned with the business's vision and values.

Psychiatry's quest for credibility as a scientific discipline led it to adopt a disorder-label orientation in which mental conditions are categorized in terms of measurable behavioral criteria. In Reclaiming the Self in Psychiatry: Centering personal narrative for a humanist science (Routledge, 2025) Şerife Tekin offers an alternative framework that decenters the label and recenters the self. Tekin argues that how patients try to make sense of their experiences through self-narratives – including self-diagnosed labels – is an essential source of information for tailoring treatment. Tekin, who is associate professor of philosophy at State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University, proposes the Multitudinous Self (MuSe) model for integrating the patient's self-perspective back into the psychiatric picture and helping psychiatry itself embrace a more sophisticated notion of scientific objectivity. 25EFLY2 valid 1st April 2025 - 30th September 2025 25EFLY3 valid 1st July 2025 - 31st December 2025 Learn more about your ad choices.

Hasidism teaches that God's love—chesed—is boundless and unconditional. Yet some interpretations within Hasidic and Kabbalistic thought create a paradox: Jews are said to possess a unique, divine soul, while non-Jews have only a “natural” soul. This essay challenges that view, arguing that it undermines both Jewish ethics and universal human dignity. Drawing on Martin Buber's I and Thou philosophy, we reframe chosenness not as superiority, but as spiritual responsibility. To honor chesed fully, we must embrace the divine in every human being.#Chesed #HasidicJudaism #MartinBuber #IAndThou #JewishPhilosophy #SpiritualEquality #UniversalDignity #ChosenPeople #Kabbalah #JewishEthics #Tanya #ReligionAndHumanity #InterfaithDialogue #GodsLoveForAll #DeconstructingChosenness

This week we're discussing the idea that You're Being Trained, And You Don't Even Know It.  In this conversation with Amber Fuller - a counselor with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) - we explore how our digital world is training us in ways we don't even realize—and how reclaiming stillness might be one of the most healing things we can do. It's easy to think we're just scrolling, checking, or Googling, but what if the constant presence of technology is actually shaping how we relate to ourselves, to others, and even to God? For solo parents especially, those quiet, in-between moments can be some of the only opportunities we have to connect inwardly. But what happens when silence feels impossible? When we're too distracted to be still? In this episode, we explore why stillness matters, what we're losing in our addiction to connectivity, and how to take back our attention. Today, we cover three main points: Who or what is training us? The cost of constant connectivity Reclaiming the value of stillness and waiting We want to answer any Solo Parent questions you may have. Submit your listener questions HERE.

What happens when the future you've always planned for suddenly disappears? After divorce, many women find themselves trapped in a pit of despair, believing their chance at happiness vanished along with their marriage. But what if this challenging transition actually offers an unexpected gift – the freedom to design a future that truly resonates with who you are? In this episode I'll explore how society's prescribed notions of family, happiness, and success have shaped our expectations. Those perfect retirement scenes in medication commercials? The idyllic nuclear family portrayed in media? These aren't universal truths – they're social constructs that have evolved (and continue to evolve) throughout human history. You'll discover how challenging these inherited beliefs creates space for authentic growth and self-discovery. The episode offers practical guidance for creating a new vision that aligns with your values and current reality. Through targeted questions – about your guiding principles, bold dreams, and how you'll view this chapter in hindsight – you'll learn to craft a future outlook that serves and inspires you. Because if we're going to "make up" our futures anyway (as we all do), why not create visions that genuinely support who we are and who we're becoming?To download your FREE GUIDE: "What to Expect When Divorcing: The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce" click here. To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.If this podcast resonated with you in any way, please take a minute to follow and give me a rating wherever you listen to podcasts.For more information and full show notes go to:https://www.karinnelsoncoaching.com/post/ep219

In this episode, I'm getting honest about the scarcity mindset so many of us are stuck in — and how I'm starting to shift out of it.I share a personal story from my own life, the importance of reevaluating our routines, and a simple 15-minute morning mindset check-in (thanks to Brendon Burchard) that's been helping me stay on task, aligned, and motivated.We also talk about reclaiming time, ditching mindless habits, and moving your body with purpose — because how we live day-to-day is shaping everything.

The wisdom of children's unbridled joy holds a secret we adults have forgotten. While watching his kids play outdoors, our host recalls a powerful story about the Heilige Briskerov (Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik) that fundamentally challenges how we approach our lives.Sitting on a porch observing children cartwheel and play with rambunctious energy, the Brisker Rov was asked why these kids were making so much noise. His response? These children, in their pure, unfiltered happiness, represent what adults should aspire to be. Drawing from Koheles (Ecclesiastes), he explained that "God created man straight" but we've burdened ourselves with countless calculations and complexities that drain our natural joy.This episode explores how we've lost the straightforward approach to life that children naturally embody. Where a child finds complete happiness in running through sprinklers or sliding down a slip-and-slide, adults overthink everything – from social dynamics to self-perception. The Brisker Rov suggests we should metaphorically "cartwheel to work," maintaining youthful exuberance in our prayers, work, and daily activities. Instead of chasing complexity, we're invited to return to basics: finding satisfaction in following Hashem's will and receiving our spiritual "sticker" for a day well lived.Have you lost your childlike wonder? Perhaps it's time to shake off the "overcomplicatedness" of adult life and rediscover the simple joys that make life meaningful.

In this eye-opening episode, Darin sits down with Dr. Sara Reardon — pelvic floor physical therapist, educator, and the internet's beloved “Vagina Whisperer” — to uncover the truth about women's bodies that too many doctors are still ignoring. From pelvic pain and leaking to postpartum trauma and sexual dysfunction, Sara breaks down what every woman deserves to know about her anatomy, healing, and power.

What if the secret to saving your relationship isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you, but about learning to deeply receive pleasure instead of constantly giving? Rebecca Greene sits down with somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor to tackle desire discrepancy - one of the most common relationship challenges. Susan shares her revolutionary Pleasure Keys Process and reveals why traditional approaches to "mismatched libido" fail, offering a transformative framework that helps women reclaim their sexuality and couples rekindle passion. Key Takeaways: ➤ Reframe "Low Libido" as Education Gap: Most desire discrepancy stems from lack of sexual education - women need about 21 minutes of warm-up time while men typically need only 2-7 minutes. ➤ Master the Three N's - Notice, Name, Negotiate: Learn to notice sensations in your body, name what you want and need, and negotiate those desires with your partner. ➤ Women Must Learn to Receive: Instead of defaulting to constant giving, women need to practice being receivers in the bedroom until giving becomes a natural overflow. ➤ Shame Starts Early and Shows Up Everywhere: Sexual shame often begins in childhood and manifests as disconnection from pleasure, faking orgasms, or complete avoidance of intimacy. ➤ Expand Your Definition of Sex: Moving beyond penetration to "pleasure, connection and enjoyment" opens up more opportunities for intimacy between partners. Powerful Quotes from Susan: "You are not broken, and it's not all your fault. Most women who are labeled 'low libido' are actually dealing with a lack of education about how their bodies work differently than men's bodies." "If we want to bring the fire back online, we need to learn how to be receivers. Your husband would probably be super thrilled if you knew what you wanted and he could do something to your body that would make you moan with pleasure - that's the hottest thing in the world to just about any man on the planet."

"Passionate lovemaking is a mindfulness practice. Even for me now, I have to get in there, connect with my husband, and focus on sensation." – Susan Bratton I sat down with my longtime friend Susan Bratton, intimacy expert to millions and respected sexual biohacker, for a conversation that was even more fulfilling than I anticipated. Susan advocates for all who desire intimacy and passion throughout their entire lives, and she's here to shatter the myth that sexuality diminishes with age. Quite the opposite – she explains how we can experience our most profound pleasure in our 60s and beyond! Susan reveals that studies show people who continue having passionate lovemaking throughout their lifespan live 10 years longer, look 10 years younger, and die significantly happier. We explore how sexual wellness creates a cascade of beneficial neurotransmitters, oxygenates your brain, improves immune function, and releases natural killer cells (think sexual autophagy!). Most illuminating was her revelation that women need 20-30 minutes of arousal time for full engorgement and pleasure potential – a crucial insight many couples miss. Susan emphasizes that healthy sexuality requires both trust/safety AND variety/novelty, and that our bodies continue responding to the moon's cycles even after menopause. For women struggling with self-judgment or uncertainty about their desires, Susan offers practical communication strategies that transform disconnection into ecstatic connection with both yourself and your partner.   What you'll learn: Why extending your "sex span" directly extends your lifespan and healthspan How women need 20-30 minutes of arousal time for full erectile function and pleasure potential The importance of nitric oxide for sexual blood flow and engorgement as we age Why bedroom communication is the foundation for passionate, connected intimacy How to create a "sex life bucket list" to maintain novelty and excitement with your partner Orgasms are simply learned skills that can be developed at any age The role oxytocin plays in relieving stress and improving overall well-being Strategies for shifting from your busy mind into full-body pleasure Love the Podcast?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the U.S. Constitution and historical documents like the Federalist Papers do not grant the judiciary, including lower federal courts like the U.S. Court on Trade, the final authority in disputes. Congress, as the representative body, holds the ultimate decision-making power, particularly in matters of national policy. The judiciary's self-assumed power, stems from cases like Marbury v. Madison (1803), asserts that the framers intended the courts to act as "traffic cops" ensuring other branches stay within their constitutional lanes, not to usurp their authority. Congress, not the courts, should have the final say, aligning with the republican structure of the government. If the Supreme Court does not stop what these lower courts are doing, and quickly, Mark is going to lead a movement to pressure Congress to remake the lower courts. And under the Constitution, we have every right as the people of this country to press our elected representatives to uphold the Constitution and give us our republic back. The lower courts are violating separation of powers, seizing authority they do not have, and have become populated with rogue lawyers/activists. The Constitution empowers we, the people, and through us, our representatives, to fix this. Also, the Civil War, with over 700,000 casualties in a nation of 24 million, was worth the cost to end slavery and preserve the Union. Similarly, Israel's ongoing conflicts justify decisive action to destroy Hamas and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, despite repeated ceasefires and attacks from groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis. Israel's fight is for survival, akin to the Civil War's existential stakes. Critics who label this a "forever war" or warmongering are dismissed, as some causes, like survival, demand fighting to the death. Later, Iran is actively advancing its nuclear weapons program. They are developing a sophisticated nuclear program and possesses a growing arsenal of ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads over long distances. Learn more about your ad choices.
