Co-Host Cheryl Maida (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cheryl) How is Gen Z influencing dating and relating going forward? Regardless of who you are, this matters because it's going to affect YOUR relationships with women from now on. My first-time guest Cheryl Maida from matchmaking.com is here to talk about all the current trends, and what we can expect in months and years to come. First off, are dating apps truly dead...and if so, what's next? And whatever happened to "hookup culture"? We haven't heard anything on that in ages. Are people really less interested in sex than ever, or just more sexually frustrated? Could it be that we really needed to go through a few decades of trial and error in order to figure out what we really want out of our dating pursuits and sex lives, let alone long-term relationships? Why are younger guys going for matchmakers nowadays? For a while there, politics were a major yardstick of compatibility. Is that still the case? Are we ever going to collectively stop doom-scrolling our smartphones and notice there's other people out there in public? Is this generation going to rediscover the art of approaching women in real life? Well, first we all might have to start with actually liking the gender we'd hope to attract again. Will Gen Z realize sooner than later that pressure on the birthrate and away from healthy male/female relationships is robbing them of something important? Assuming so, will the younger generation have to learn from their dating and relationship mistakes the same way we have? Of course they will...but how? Better men get better women. That's the new logo, and the new look at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === The show is now available as a VIDEO version on YouTube.

Welcome to Wellthy Living ConversationsEP 73: DISCERNMENT AS A PRACTICE: MAKE CLEAR DECISIONS FOR LIFE AND WORK with guest Nathalie MartinekNathalie Martinek, PhD traded biological research for decoding toxic relationships and workplaces. Think of her as a guide through the minefields of personal relationships and modern professional life, equipping people with the knowledge and skills to interrupt dysfunctional patterns, relate better, and restore stability.Intro: We're living in an age where information and opinions come at us from every direction, yet clarity feels harder to find than ever. Discernment helps us cut through that noise, in our relationships, decisions, and the way we interpret the world around us. It's not about judgment or perfection; it's about developing the inner radar that helps us know what's true, what's safe, and what's aligned.Together, Nathalie and I unpack what discernment really looks like in practice: how we recognise it, why we override it, and what it costs and gives us when we finally trust it, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.We discuss:What discernment actually isWhy we struggle to trust our own discernmentHow culture, social media, and information overload cloud our clarityNathalie's Liberation Cycle: disrupt, extract, and release, a process that turns awareness into real changeHow discernment helps us protect our energy, set boundaries, and still stay open-heartedThe cost of choosing truth over belonging and how discernment can deepen connection rather than destroy itSimple, real-world ways to start practising discernment in daily lifeLinks & resources Find out more about guest Narhalie Martine: https://www.drnathaliemartinek.com/Read Nathalie's Substack article 'How to Develop Discernment' Nathalie's 'Hacking Narcissism' substack: https://www.hackingnarcissism.com/Discernment Series Reflective Reset Guides designed to help you pause, reflect, and practice discernment in real-life moments.

HeatherAsh sits down with author and teacher, Michael Stone, to explore a compassionate, practical approach to trauma healing. Michael shares raw pieces of his story, from early childhood and family rupture to profound loss, and how those experiences became medicine for personal and collective awakening. We talk somatic work, ancestral repair, why “relating” matters more than “relationship,” and how community circles become engines of healing. If you've ever wondered where to start (or start again), this conversation offers a grounded path: soften, slow down, and let the body lead.Episode Highlights:Trauma is intelligence, not pathology. It's the nervous system's adaptive way of keeping us safe, and healing means gently feeling what was once too overwhelming.The body leads the way. Somatic practices, not talk alone, open the door to repair and integration.Healing thrives in relationship. Circles and community dissolve shame, reveal “me too” moments, and accelerate growth.We inherit more than eye color. Ancestral and collective trauma live in us too, and healing them shifts the larger field.Start simple. Softening and slowing down through meditation, nature, or gentle embodiment, are powerful first steps.Resources & Links:Michael's Website:https://www.welloflight.comTraumatized: A Love Story(book mentioned)Pocket Project / Social Witnessing (concept referenced by Michael)Family Constellations (Bert Hellinger; modality referenced)FiveRhythms / Gabrielle Roth (somatic movement lineage referenced)Contact Michael: Michael@welloflight.com

Tanita Maddox, author of "What Gen Z Really Wants to Know About God," calls on us to have a more missional-mindset relating to Gen Z.

“We are born out of the laughter of the Trinity." — Meister Eckhart (1260-1328), Medieval MysticDear Friends,Around 2011, we discovered the work of Karen Horney and her insight into how humans relate to one another, especially under stress, in uncertainty, or for the sake of self-protection.Her work on the styles of relating became catalytic for both of us. It gave language to dynamics we were feeling but didn't yet understand — why, despite our love for one another, we so often felt hurt, alone, or misunderstood. We were desperate for clarity, longing to discover what was not working, and what needed to change within us and between us to grow the kind of marriage we both believed was possible.In 2014, we recorded a live conversation exploring how our styles of relating had been colliding — and sometimes colluding — since before we were married. That conversation became Episode 9 of the Become Good Soil podcast, marking an early milestone in our journey toward healing and deeper connection.Now, we invite you to join us again as we revisit this territory. This is the first episode in a three-part series reflecting afresh on the Styles of Relating — a return to what these styles are, an exploration of how they may be showing up in our relationships, and an honest look at what it could mean to employ them in the service of Love instead of fear.We're honored to walk this path with you.For the Kingdom,Cherie & MorganP.S.

In today's episode, I am sharing some of my biggest struggles in my day-to-day life. I know that most days you come here seeking expertise, but I think it is important that I often remind you that I have major struggles just like you. Relating with others can be so empowering and be the encouragement that we need to just. keep. going. and it is part of my mission to always be totally transparent with you. From ADHD, overstimulation, friendships, insecurity, people-pleasing, and fear of the unknown, I am still very much battling obstacles daily! No one is without difficulties and no amount of success or wisdom will change that. BUT. We do get better at holding it all over time. So today, I am sharing more of my personal struggles and talking through how I am navigating it all.
Show Notes: David Nour, author of Relationship Economics, discusses the six phases of strategic relationships. He emphasizes intentionality and a portfolio approach to relationship investing. The six phases he uses throughout the episode are: mapping, relating, nurturing, sustaining, requesting, and capitalizing. Different Levels of Relationship Management Nour explains that when a challenge arises, the first questions should be: Who do I need? Who do I know? How do I connect the dots? He contrasts haphazard outreach, simple lists, and CRM-driven discipline, underscoring the importance of intentionality and consistency. He highlights relationship mapping to achieve specific goals—beginning with identifying targets, nurturing, and sustaining relationships. In a pharma example, he shows how to identify key companies and contacts and introduces the ideal relationship profile—focusing on specific individuals (not logos) because relationships are built between people. He also stresses finding “lookalikes”: individuals whose values are aligned, who value and respect the relationship. Cold Outreach to Build Relationships On building new relationships—especially via cold outreach—Nour recommends focusing on fewer but better-qualified leads: go where potential clients already are (e.g., micro-events), be more interested than interesting, and engage with thoughtful questions. Quick, consistent follow-up turns initial introductions into meaningful relationships. He shares specific questions he uses to spark valuable conversations and secure meetings. Initial Conversations in Relationship Building Nour critiques “intellectually lazy” openings like “Tell me about your situation.” Instead, come prepared with a hypothesis based on research and use questions to set the agenda. Authenticity matters: each consultant should develop their own style. To avoid being forgettable, respectfully provoke prospects to think differently. Unpacking the Four Middle Phases Nour details the four phases that form the “engine” of relationship development: Relating: Share relevant stories so prospects see themselves in similar situations. Nurturing: Add value with ideas, checklists, and stress-testing to build trust and credibility. Sustaining: Maintain momentum over time; help the buyer buy; enable internal champions. Requesting: Earn the right to ask for deeper access (e.g., org charts, NDAs, stakeholder conversations) to better understand needs and increase impact. Capitalizing on Relationships After Project Completion Two-thirds of the way through a project, identify existing, impending, and created needs to link projects and avoid losing momentum post-delivery. Nour shares how he invites senior executives from one client to speak at another client's event (non-competing industries), creating an ecosystem of seasoned leaders who become walking case studies. Climbing the Relationship Value Pyramid Nour bridges the gap between recognizing the importance of relationships and harnessing their significance with three ideas: Intelligent Relationship Management: Set relationship-centric outcomes, identify pivotal contacts, and make consistent “favor economy” deposits. Strategic Relationship Planning: Map company-to-company relationships from now to next (champions, cadence, outcomes). Relationship Value Pyramid: Categorize by depth and relevance—situation, investment, portfolio, recall (2 a.m.)—and apply a portfolio approach with a “three-touch rule” before reallocating attention. Reciprocity in Relationship Building Nour reviews gratitude, reciprocity, and paying it forward as observable behaviors. Twice a year, he reviews his top 100 relationships to prioritize where to invest next. He also mentions Avnir, his AI platform that builds a private relationship vault from existing data sources and prompts context-relevant actions to deepen connections.

In this episode, we're looking at how this New Moon in Libra under the guidance of Venus, is offering a tremendous energetic boost toward the manifestation of our desires, wishes and intentions. (Sound and Energy Healer Winner is my desire. Your vote is deeply appreciated. See voting link at the bottom.)Libra is an intriguing sign. It's one of the four cardinal signs, which means it activates movement and action. It's a masculine, intellectually and mentally oriented air sign, with rulership of Venus that's viewed as a feminine planet.Libra like all dual signed symbols, moves back and forth between the two poles of experience. It is symbolized by the "Scale". Venus is the planetary key that unlocks the houses where Libra is positioned.

In this episode of the Programmatic Digest, host Helene Parker sits down with Jana Meron, programmatic veteran and sell-side expert, for a deep dive into how the buy side and sell side can finally bridge the gap. This episode serves as a preview of their upcoming joint workshop — The Sell-Side Programmatic Foundation for Buyers — designed to help traders, buyers, and ad ops professionals better understand how publishers, SSPs, and ad tech integrations actually work. Jana shares her fascinating career journey, from early media buying days to leading programmatic and data operations at Business Insider and The Washington Post. She brings her insider perspective on what really happens behind the publisher ad stack, the complexity of SSP integrations, and how demand path optimization (DPO) mirrors the buy-side's supply path optimization (SPO). Together, Helene and Jana explore: The disconnect between buy-side traders and sell-side ops teams How publisher ad stacks function behind the scenes The real meaning of SPO vs. DPO What “wrappers,” “pre-bid,” and “open bidding” actually mean in practice Why traders should collaborate directly with publishers (not just SSPs) How building relationships with publishers strengthens campaign results Why understanding the sell side helps buyers optimize smarter Whether you're a buyer, trader, or publisher, this conversation will transform how you see the other side of the programmatic equation — and why it's time to build more collaboration, transparency, and trust across the ecosystem.

Join The Deep Dive (Life-changing teachings for spiritual mastery, guided sound journeys, and access to live community gatherings to share your most authentic self) https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d... In this powerful interview, Emilio Ortiz and Anne Tucker explore the activations and new energy transforming our planet and our lives. Anne channels angelic insights on the earth changes underway, describing how the Earth must crack open to allow light to enter and why humanity's role in witnessing this release is essential. Together they discuss the rise of self-awareness, the experience of loneliness in both humanity and the Earth, and how our thoughts and presence contribute to collective healing. This dialogue also reveals how we are moving beyond the karmic construct into a new earth shaped by unity, self-acceptance, and manifestation through presence. Anne describes the coming flash of light as a turning point that will awaken a higher octave of self, allowing us to co-create reality in alignment with our soul's truth. By embracing transformation, practicing self-love, and allowing what is, we become more dynamically open than ever before. Anne Tucker is healer & channel, supporting awakening souls on their journey through community, spiritual connection, and healing, so they can take advantage of this time of rapid growth and ascension. As a trance channel, Anne enters a meditative state where she connects to the Angelic realm and allows Angels to speak directly through her. She is a channel for Angelic guidance and healing frequencies that will prepare us and help to usher us through the planetary shift in consciousness. ___________________ Read Anne Tucker's book: What's Coming Next: A Channeled Guide to Navigating the Greatest Shift of our Time
Have you ever said your child, “Don't yell at your brother!” If so, were you yelling? What's happening in a child's body filled with angry is louder than what's going on in their brain. As Christi says in this episode, “Our body sends 10 messages to our brain for every 1 our brain sends to our body.” In other words, our body speaks louder than our brain. So why have we stopped listening to the body? What's actually going in our child's body in their anger? What's happening on our body in our anger? And why, for our children, is loving touch the most powerful way for the body to know “felt safety?”As we close out season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids, Christi answers these questions and shares why the body protects our children anytime there is a threat to their connection, belonging, safety, and dignity. She also explains how we as parents can help our kids restore felt safety and why these principles will be an integral part of KidsRQ.Time Stamps:0:00 KidsRQ and body-based tools3:00 Why the body matters for healing5:20 The tripartite God and what it means for us created in His image9:12 How the nervous system and emotions protect children17:47 Relating to our kids on earth as in heaven21:52 Moving emotion through your body25:27 Ways to learn this through Famous at Home Show Notes: Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.com Join KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.com Interested in Tender & Fierce?

Before the written word — and possibly even before speech — humans have communicated through drawing. From crude scratches in the dirt or on cave walls to the arcane symbology of the laboratory whiteboard, our instinct for conveying our thoughts visually is pretty extraordinary. We see or understand something in the world, we build an idea in our mind of what we think we see, and then using our hand and the utensil we re-create it to communicate the share our perception with others. Along the way, we add in our own understanding and experience to craft that communication in ways that might not correspond with a specific object in the world at all.How we do this — and how we can learn to be better visual communicators — is at the heart of our conversation with Judy Fan, who runs the Cognitive Tools Lab in Stanford University's Department of Psychology.We've been nominated for a 2025 Signal Award for Best Science & Education Podcast!

When we're feeling insecure in our relationships (especially during transitions like opening up, navigating new relationship dynamics, or major life changes), we often seek reassurance from our partners. But what does effective reassurance actually look like? How can we offer it authentically without trying to "fix" our partners' feelings? And how do we navigate the complex interplay between reassurance, reciprocity, and fairness?Reassurance in relationships isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It's an ongoing practice that requires attunement, flexibility, and a deep understanding of your partner's unique needs.In this episode, we talk about:— What reassurance really means: actions, words, and engagement that serve to ease someone's doubts and fears (without guaranteeing those fears will disappear)— Why reassurance needs change based on context, trauma history, and how "full" your threat bucket already is— The essential ingredients for effective reassurance— Why the desire to make everything "fair" in relationships often comes from our wounded parts seeking safety and control— How to ask for specific reassurance: "Can you wrap your arms around me right here and tell me these exact words?"— The challenge of offering reassurance when it conflicts with your values or agreements (like canceling dates with others)— Why some people resist offering ongoing reassurance and what that might mean for the relationship— The possibility of reimagining relationship structures when reassurance needs aren't being met— How our "child parts" often drive our reassurance needs, and why acknowledging this can help us make more aligned requests— The difference between true reciprocity and transactional "fairness"Resources mentioned in this episode:— The Imago Dialogue episode— Imago Dialogue examples— Robin Wall Kimmerer's book Braiding SweetgrassJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

The warning passages of Hebrews, especially Hebrews 6:1–6, have long puzzled interpreters and unsettled readers. Is it a threat to assurance? A theological anomaly? In this episode, Dr. Marcus Mininger, Professor of New Testament Studies at Mid-America Reformed Seminary, joins us to explore the redemptive-historical framework behind one of the New Testament's most debated passages. Drawing on the insights from his new book, Impossible to Be Restored?: Temptation and Warning in the Epistle of Hebrews (B&H Academic), Dr. Mininger explains how the warning in Hebrews 6 fits not only within the argument of Hebrews but also within the broader flow of covenantal history. We discuss what the original audience was tempted to do, why returning to the old covenant to be right with God is impossible, and how this passage should shape pastoral ministry today. Along the way, Dr. Mininger helps listeners see how the “impossibility” language of Hebrews 6 is not a spiritual dead-end but a serious exhortation rooted in the once-for-all nature of Christ's redemptive work. If you've ever struggled with how to understand or teach Hebrews 6, this conversation offers clarity, theological depth, and pastoral wisdom.
