Charisma Quotient: Build Confidence, Make Connections and Find Love
What does it mean to feel truly alive, sexy, and desired after decades of following the rules or after a long relationship ends? In Episode 431 of The Charisma Quotient, "Reclaiming Sexuality & Desire After 40 with Lauren Elise Rogers," Kimmy invites holistic sexuality educator and intimacy coach Lauren Elise Rogers to unravel the complex journey of reclaiming desire and sexual confidence later in life. Together, they open up about their own post-divorce experiences—Kimmy's first kiss after years of marriage and Lauren's deep dive into rediscovering herself after a painful divorce in a strictly religious community. They discuss how outdated beliefs about sexuality and worth can shape our experiences, and why it's never too late to ask yourself what you truly want. Through candid stories and transformative insights, Kimmy and Lauren explore how to identify and break free from limiting beliefs, understand the difference between "recreational" and "relational" intimacy, and use self-reflection to plant new seeds in your metaphorical (and sometimes literal) inner garden. You'll hear: Kimmy's vulnerable story about her first kiss after divorce—and why it was such a crucial turning point. Lauren's powerful journey from a "purity culture" upbringing through marital adversity and into personal liberation. How to identify the old rules and beliefs about sex, intimacy, and relationships that might be holding you back. Strategies to move from "people-pleasing" and self-doubt to embodied confidence and authentic connection, no matter your age or history..

Many of us know what burnout looks like: exhaustion, cynicism, and the feeling that we simply can't keep going. But there's another state that shows up far more often and it's easier to miss. It's called brownout.In this episode, I sit down with Jessie Reese, leadership and executive development specialist and positive psychology practitioner, to unpack the critical difference between brownout and burnout, and why so many high-achieving people, especially women, are quietly living in that in-between space.Jess shares her environmental alignment model, a practical framework that helps you see how all parts of your life (work, caregiving, relationships, health, identity, and invisible labor) draw from the same energy reservoir. Together, we explore why adding more self-improvement often backfires, and why the most powerful move is often asking a different question: “What is the most impactful thing I can do to relieve pressure right now?”We also talk about the cultural pressure to “do it all,” why trying to make everything a top priority leads to depletion, and how real alignment requires honest reflection on your values, not an external definition of success or a past version of yourself.If you're feeling stretched thin, quietly overwhelmed, or wondering why rest doesn't seem to work anymore, this conversation will help you name what's happening and give you a clearer path forward.My Top 5 TakeawaysBrownout often comes before burnout and it's easier to miss because you're still functioning.Your energy reservoir is shared across your whole life, not just work.Relieving pressure is more effective than adding habits when you're depleted.You can't make everything the #1 priority and trying to do so leads to misalignment.True fulfillment requires redefining “having it all” based on your current values, constraints, and season of life.Jessie's Links and Work:Connect with Jessie on LinkedIn Read Jessie's MAPP Capstone The Tipping Point: Executive Burnout, Brownout, and Realignment MAPP Magazine Article - Running on Half Power: Why Women Burnout and How to Reclaim Alignment by Jessie Reese --------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

What if exhaustion in motherhood is not about doing too much, but about not having access to your full power? In this episode of The Millionaire Mother Podcast, Cait sits down with Kimberly Ann Johnson, author, somatic practitioner, birth doula, and teacher known for her work on the nervous system, postpartum healing, and embodied leadership. Kimberly shares the personal evolution that shaped her work, from navigating six and a half years of postpartum healing to developing the frameworks behind The Fourth Trimester and Call of the Wild. This conversation explores what she calls Jaguar energy, the healthy fight response that many women have been conditioned to suppress. Together, Cait and Kimberly unpack how fawning, freezing, and over-attunement show up in motherhood, business, money, and relationships. Tune in to hear: Why postpartum healing often takes years and why that is normal The difference between nervous system regulation and surface-level wellness trends How clear boundaries conserve energy instead of draining it Why many women struggle with authority in parenting and leadership The nervous system patterns behind money avoidance or obsession The impact of over-identifying with prey energy in modern culture How to discern where your energy truly belongs in a reactive social media landscape The importance of thinking in generational time rather than immediate validation Resources & Mentions: The Fourth Trimester Call of the Wild Kimberly's work & upcoming offerings: kimberlyannjohnson.com Free chapter from Call of the Wild: kimberlyannjohnson.com/chapter Follow Kimberly on Instagram: @kimberly.ann.johnson Join the Beloved masterclass with Mel Wells on 2/17
This is not a typical episode of Ojai Talk of the Town.There's no guest. No interview. No back-and-forth.Instead, this is a solo piece — a reflection on what the word hillbilly actually means, and what it doesn't.In recent years, that word has been flattened into stereotype, weaponized as political shorthand, or worn as a kind of costume. But being a hillbilly is not an aesthetic. It's not grievance. It's not dysfunction.It's a set of skills.A relationship to land and labor.An earned way of moving through the world.This episode is a personal reckoning with that inheritance — through ice storms, traplines, grave digging, and the quiet discipline of work.It's different from our usual format. Slower. More reflective.If you're willing to listen closely, I hope you'll stay with it. If you feel so inclined, copy a link and send it to someone you think might be curious about an obscure American culture that has been miscast and stereotyped, or someone who might share a similar set of cultural understandings.

On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, hosts Jake and Stephen welcome US Marine Corps combat veteran David Shoup, founder of Warriors Awakening and a leading voice in the fight to eliminate PTSD from the lives of veterans and active-duty service members. David served as an infantry rifleman during Operation Iraqi Freedom, with additional duties supporting special operations units in multiple environments. After leaving active duty, he faced the brutal reality many combat veterans know all too well—nightmares, rage, anxiety, isolation, and emotional chaos. But David refused to accept that PTSD was a life sentence. Through years of intensive study, high-level coaching, and mission-focused action, David developed a powerful system rooted in psychological science, neurological strategies, and battlefield-tested discipline. His approach isn't therapy—it's an operational manual for freedom, designed to help warriors reclaim clarity, purpose, and control over their lives. Today, David leads a national movement through Warriors Awakening, empowering veterans to fight back, take ownership of their healing, and live with strength and intention once again.

In this episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dive into the idea of “reruns” in truth telling and why long-known information is resurfacing now with renewed traction. The conversation explores how narratives once buried or censored are re-emerging for new audiences, why repetition matters in awakening the public, and how understanding the deeper structure of government and power impacts every generation alive today. Ashe and Abbey discuss the concept of a hijacked saeculum, the meaning of the coming “Golden Age,” and differing perspectives on technology, AI, and the promise or danger of utopian thinking. The episode also breaks down cultural signals found in advertising, consumer behavior, and food systems, highlighting the importance of local sourcing, personal responsibility, and conscious choice. Throughout the discussion, the focus remains on truth, discernment, and taking back agency in a system designed to obscure it.
It's a party weekend! Judson prepares for a friend's bachelor party in Chicago, and Brian prepares to celebrate his husband's birthday on the Saturday, and his younger daughter's on the Sunday. They attend screenings on consecutive nights of the new movie, Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, and compare notes with one another for the first time since. Together, Brian and Judson take a seat on The Big C*nty Couch with drag queen Gina Spears and her longtime friend Mike Fails. Our recent episode on Deshaming Sluttiness inspires a listener to submit a Hookup of the Week about his competition with a friend to see who can fill the pages of their little black books faster. Brian and Judson are then joined by star of stage and screen Jason Veasey, currently co-starring in the new comedy-drama, “Best Medicine,” on Fox and Hulu. Jason talks about the joy of being on the sets of both his current show and “Only Murders in the Building,” his desire to represent gay men our age on screen as sexual beings, and the need for more depictions of queer Black-on-Black love and sex in TV and film. He also gets personal and chats with Brian and Judson about sexual comfort levels, the value he places on sex in his relationship, being in a long-term relationship without living together, reclaiming his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis, sharing the news of his diagnosis with his family, and what it took for him to realize that he's versatile in bed. Jason then helps Brian and Judson address a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know how he should conduct himself around his grade school-age niblings when the MAGA members of his husband's extended family feel that kids shouldn't know that gay people exist.

In this episode, Reverend Brandan Robertson joins Sunday School Dropouts for a deeply honest conversation about growing up queer in the church, surviving purity culture, and finding a faith that no longer requires self-erasure. Brandan shares his journey from a fundamentalist Baptist background through Moody Bible Institute, including repeated discipline for asking hard questions and his experience with conversion therapy, and how those moments ultimately pushed him toward a more expansive and life-giving theology.Together, we talk about the so-called “clobber passages,” why they've been misused to police LGBTQ+ people, how purity culture damages everyone it touches, and what it means to experience a kind of second adolescence after leaving religious shame behind. Brandan also reflects on digital ministry, TikTok theology, and the real hope he sees in inclusive faith communities that are thriving even in unlikely places.Share your purity culture stories with us by leaving a voicemail or sending your story to us!This podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

Send a textThere is a deep longing in the collective right now to see accountability — especially when harm has been large-scale, cruel, and systemic.Many people are watching, waiting, and hoping to see public consequences for those connected to exploitation, abuse of power, and political cruelty — including figures tied to the Epstein files and the administration of Donald Trump.That longing makes sense.But what happens when justice doesn't arrive in a way we can see?What happens when accountability is real — but invisible?In this episode, Matilda explores the emotional and spiritual cost of tying our peace to outcomes we cannot control. She reframes karma as intimate, inevitable, and deeply personal — not a public performance designed to soothe our outrage.This conversation gently challenges the idea that punishment equals healing, and invites listeners to reclaim their energy, their nervous system, and their lives — even while the world remains unfinished.In this episode, we explore:Why the desire for public accountability is so regulating to the nervous systemThe difference between accountability and punishmentHow karma actually works — beyond religious ideas of heaven and hellWhy not seeing justice can leave people stuck, vigilant, and exhaustedHow accountability can unfold privately, psychologically, energetically, and after deathWays to live fully without bypassing harm or outsourcing peaceA deep guided meditation to protect your energy and release what is not yours to carryThis episode includes a grounding, protective meditation designed to help you step out of collective hypervigilance and back into your own body, breath, and life.You don't need to witness reckoning for it to exist.Karma doesn't miss anyone.And your peace does not need to wait.Learn to connect with your GuidesIntimate Mediumship GroupMatilda's Website
Motherhood reshapes everything: Your time, your body, your identity, and often the way you show up in the world.

On this episode of Crosspolitic One-on-One with the Waterboy, Gabe welcomes Pastor Chase Davis from the Well Church in Boulder into the studio to talk about the issue of emasculated Christianity in the modern church and why reclaiming biblical masculinity through offensive Christianity matters for men to stand firm, lead their families, and pursue dominion in every sphere of life for the glory of Christ.

Together, Dr. Foojan and Agatha explore how survivors can begin healing without completely abandoning their culture, identity, or family ties.

Getting teens to talk isn't about fixing their feelings—it's about creating emotional safety. In this episode, we talk about how parents can become a safe place for teens to open up, why advice often shuts conversations down, and how simple presence builds trust over time. We explore: Why availability matters more than schedules How listening without fixing changes everything Why side-by-side conversations work better than face-to-face How personality and timing affect when kids open up What Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore teach us about sitting with hard feelings If you've ever wondered why your teen says "nothing" or "I'm fine," this conversation will help you understand what they may actually be asking for.

This Sunday, Guest Speaker Lee Coate continued our series through Jesus' prayer life by exploring the spiritual discipline of prioritizing the private place. Throughout the New Testament, we see Jesus treated the hidden place as a source of strength for His ministry in the public space. It's a place where sight is restored and sensitivity to God's presence and movement is renewed.

Episode 39: Fighting Fatigue: Reclaiming Energy After Stroke Post-stroke fatigue affects up to 70% of survivors, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood aspects of recovery. In this episode of Stronger After Stroke, Mark Green shares with stroke nurse navigator Rosa Hart from his experience navigating fatigue and brain fog following his stroke. Mark opens up about the frustration of wanting to return to his active lifestyle while his body demanded rest, the strategies that helped him manage his energy levels, and the mindset shifts that allowed him to redefine what "normal" looked like. Mark's story offers both practical wisdom and hope for survivors and caregivers facing similar challenges, reminding us that healing isn't always linear, and that progress comes in many forms.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
We have been taught to wait as a measure of professionalism. We delay rest, joy, and alignment because medicine taught us that patience equals commitment. Many of us are still waiting long after training ends, hoping the system will change. This waiting can feel loyal, responsible, even virtuous. Over time, it quietly costs us our presence, our health, and our lives. PEARLS OF WISDOM • Waiting is not neutral. It often preserves systems that rely on our overfunctioning and silence. • Many of us are not waiting because it is right, but because we were trained to believe it is required. • The system is not always broken; sometimes it is functioning exactly as designed. • Agency begins when we stop waiting for permission and choose alignment, even in small ways. • Fear often shows up when we stop waiting, and fear does not mean we are wrong. Reflection Questions: Where in our lives have we normalized waiting that no longer feels aligned? What are we postponing because we believe now is not the right time? What might become possible if we stopped waiting for permission? Who benefits from our waiting, and who bears the cost? CLOSING INVITATION This conversation is not about leaving medicine. It is about staying in medicine without disappearing ourselves in the process. Many of us were trained to endure quietly and trust that relief would come later. What we are exploring instead is the possibility of choosing ourselves now, even gently and imperfectly. Coaching and retreat spaces are one way we practice this shift together. Not to fix ourselves, but to remember that our lives matter now, not someday. We are allowed to live full lives alongside meaningful work. If coaching, a retreat, or an intentional pause feels supportive, notice what comes up when you consider not waiting. Often, the only thing standing between us and alignment is the permission we can give ourselves.

Most men don't lose their relationships because they're abusive or uncaring. They lose them because they unknowingly repeat the same patterns — habits that slowly erode connection, intimacy, and trust over time. In this episode, David Chambers breaks down the 10 common behaviors he sees again and again while coaching hundreds of men — patterns that quietly sabotage relationships even when a man is trying his best. Rather than shaming or blaming, this conversation offers clarity on why these behaviors show up and how they disconnect men from their partners. This is a practical, honest exploration of emotional reactivity, disconnection, approval-seeking, lack of leadership, and sexual polarity — and why many men feel confused, frustrated, or "never good enough" in their relationships despite good intentions.

This is a rare energetic convergence, linking Eastern cyclical wisdom with Western eclipse initiation, signaling a collective reset with far-reaching consequences. Stay tuned until the end for recommendations during the last part of the episode on how to use this Lunar New Year energy and New Moon in Aquarius all year long! The Lunar New Year marks the first New Moon of the lunar calendar, a sacred reset point honored for thousands of years across East Asian cultures — including Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, and other lineages. Unlike the solar New Year, which emphasizes linear time and external goals, the Lunar New Year is rooted in cyclical time, renewal, and alignment with nature's rhythms. This is not just a “date on the calendar.” It's a cosmic threshold— a moment when the Moon and Sun meet in darkness, symbolizing the fertile void where intention, destiny, and future pathways are seeded. In ancient cosmologies, the Lunar New Year was understood as: A reset of fate and fortune - A cleansing of karmic residue from the prior year moment to align personal will with cosmic timing in astrology, New Moons always initiate cycles, but the Lunar New Year is unique because it initiates an entire energetic year, not just a monthly chapter. In Chinese astrology, the Horse symbolizes: Independence and sovereignty, Physical vitality and stamina, Speed, travel, and migration, Charisma, leadership, and visibility, Refusal to be confined or controlled, Horses do not tolerate stagnation.They are wired for movement and forward motion. IIn a Horse year, collective energy pushes toward: Breaking out of restrictive systems Leaving situations that feel confining. Choosing autonomy over security. Reclaiming personal agency. This SOLAR ECLIPSE NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS which kicks off lunar New Year in the final degree known as the aneretic degree. This is A Fated Future-Forward Initiation . The New Moon on February 17 aligns with an annular solar eclipse intensifying its power as a point of no return. Eclipses accelerate timelines. They don't merely suggest change—they set it in motion, often through events or realizations that feel destined. This eclipse occurs at 29° Aquarius, the final and most charged degree of the sign—known as the anaretic degree. This degree carries themes of: Completion and culmination, Urgency and catharsis, Evolution beyond outdated patterns/ In Aquarius, this speaks to a collective clearing and reboot.

Send us a textA skeptical young husband sits on a pastor's office floor, reads a passage, and finds the kind of faith that changes a life. That simple, humble start turns into decades of service: deep mentorship in a small church, ministry training, and a leap across the world to plant house churches in post-Soviet Ukraine. Along the way come cold trains, open-air markets, a tense meeting with the local mafia leader, and the unmistakable thread of provision that follows obedience. The mission stays clear: equip locals to reach their neighbors, trust God over comfort, and measure impact by fruit that remains.Reclaiming the Wild is back — April 24–26 at Abundant Blessings Farm (Stem, NC).

In this episode of Perpetual mOetion, Dr. mOe Anderson welcomes Dr. Melanie Gray, PhD-prepared nurse educator, trauma-informed leadership strategist, and confidence coach for professionals to discuss the critical importance of setting boundaries and reclaiming personal energy. Dr. Gray shares her journey from nursing to coaching, highlighting how the pandemic exacerbated issues of burnout and stress among high-achieving individuals. She emphasizes that many people underestimate the long-term effects of stress and the necessity of self-care, particularly for women who often feel pressured to say 'yes' to everything. The conversation delves into the societal expectations placed on women, the fear of rejection associated with saying 'no', and the importance of prioritizing one's own needs to avoid burnout. Dr. Gray introduces her framework, "STOP", which encourages listeners to scan their bodies for signs of stress, tell themselves the truth about their situation, prioritize self-care, and be willing to transform their lives. The discussion also touches on the impact of hormonal changes during menopause and how they can complicate feelings of exhaustion. Ultimately, Dr. Gray urges listeners to recognize their value and treat themselves as the gifts they are, advocating for a shift in mindset that allows for healthier boundaries and a more balanced life. Takeaways 1. Burnout is a choice; it's about behaviors. 2. You are as loved as the last time you said yes. 3. You must prioritize yourself on your calendar. 4. You can start saying no in small ways. 5. Experience is the best teacher, but it doesn't have to be your own. Boundaries and Burnout: A Conversation with Dr. Melanie Gray Sound bites "We do because we are afraid of rejection." "It's not about the title, it's how you manage."

Episode 5120: The Storms Have Arrived; Reclaiming American Sovereignty From The CCP
In this urgent solo episode, Darin breaks down what may be the most dangerous fatal convenience of our time: the digital algorithms quietly hijacking our attention, biology, and sovereignty. Billions of dollars are being spent to keep you scrolling by triggering fear, shame, comparison, and low-grade stress, and the cost is your presence, peace, and power.

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton sits down with former professional athlete and hedge fund analyst Alex Feinberg to deconstruct the "Success Trap" facing modern professionals. Alex shares his journey from the stress of elite athletics to the high-stakes world of Silicon Valley and high finance, where he discovered the "writing on the wall": the global economy is designed to maximize your output while minimizing your freedom. They deep-dive into the Triple Seven Framework—the ultimate benchmark for integrated success: 7 hours of sleep, a 7-minute mile, and 7 figures of liquid assets. Alex explains why most high-performers are "isolated operators" who sacrifice their health for digits on a screen, and provides the Kingpin Model for reclaiming 10–20 hours a week without losing your professional edge. If you are a faith-driven leader seeking financial sovereignty, time mastery, and a deeper connection with your family, this conversation is your orientation for the "6-Hour CEO" lifestyle.

How Can Architects Ditch the 'Starving Artist' Mentality and Design a More Profitable Future?To kick off Season 12 of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee returns from her term as AIA President with a special episode, turning the tables to be interviewed by Tyler Suomala, founder of Growthitect. In this candid conversation, they reflect on Evelyn's year of travel and leadership, discussing the often unseen advocacy work of the AIA and the disconnect between national efforts and local members' perceptions.Evelyn and Tyler examine the core challenges facing the architecture profession, particularly the limitations of the traditional fee-for-service business model. They argue that the industry's "starving artist" mentality and reliance on slim margins are hindering innovation and the ability to offer competitive benefits such as parental leave. The discussion explores practical ways architects can capture more value, from rethinking "pre-design" and "post-occupancy" services to exploring subscription models for long-term building maintenance."You don't build your business first and then your life second. You have to build a business around the life that you want." - Tyler SuomalaBoth leaders emphasize that transformation starts at the individual level. They challenge listeners to stop waiting for permission or industry-wide change and instead take ownership of their careers by raising fees, embracing new skills like sales and marketing, and carving out dedicated time for strategic thinking. Whether you are a firm owner or an emerging professional, this episode offers a roadmap for building a more sustainable, profitable, and human-centric practice.Guest:Tyler Suomala is the founder of Growthitect, where he helps architects and designers master sales, marketing, and business development. After starting his own design studio early in his career and realizing the gaps in his business knowledge, Tyler pivoted to learn these essential skills in other industries. He is now dedicated to bringing those lessons back to the architecture profession, helping firm owners escape the "feast or famine" cycle and build thriving businesses.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You are frustrated by the "starving artist" narrative in architecture and want to build a more profitable business. ✅ You are curious about alternative business models, such as subscription services or productizing your expertise. ✅ You want to understand the value of national advocacy and professional organizations like the AIA.✅ You are looking for strategies to balance design excellence with business operations and personal well-being. ✅ You are ready to stop waiting for the industry to change and start making moves in your own career today.What have you done to take action lately?

Are you living from victim consciousness without realizing that you're struggling and sabotaging intimacy because of it? Josh Trent welcomes Tah Witty, Master Intimacy Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 798, to unpack how victim identity wires victim physiology, why lies carried in the body accelerate aging and fuel drama, how the victim villain hero triangle shows up in relationships, healing, and leadership, what the Condor Approach reveals about seeing life from a higher vantage point, and why radical honesty, patience, and refusing to rescue others are the real gateways to freedom, intimacy, and trauma integration.
Episode Description: AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologist Guy Winch, author of Mind Over Grind, to unpack how grind culture quietly erodes our mental health, relationships, and sense of self — often without us realizing it. Guy explains why stress no longer stays at work, how rumination turns unpaid overtime into chronic burnout, and why many high performers confuse exhaustion with productivity. They explore the blurred boundary between work and home, the hidden damage of always-on thinking, and how modern workplaces amplify anxiety, resentment, and emotional withdrawal. This conversation offers practical ways to reclaim control: recognizing harmful rumination, creating transition rituals, recharging instead of just resting, and redesigning workdays to protect focus, relationships, and meaning — without sacrificing ambition.
