Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!/////RE-RELEASE/////If you've ever been curious about cuckolding, confused by what it actually is (and isn't), or overwhelmed by the way the internet and porn portray it — this episode is for you. In this conversation, my subbie and I sit down and really talk through cuckolding from a lived-experience perspective, not a fantasy script.We break down definitions, origins, psychology, jealousy, compersion, humiliation, communication, and why so many people are turned on by the idea… but struggle with the reality.This isn't an episode about convincing you to try anything. It's about understanding, slowing down, and figuring out what actually works for your relationship — not someone else's meme.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat cuckolding actually means in modern relationshipsThe historical and linguistic origin of the word “cuckold”Why cuckolding is one of the most searched fantasies onlineThe difference between fantasy cuckolding and real-life cuckoldingJealousy vs. compersion — and why this dynamic will not work for everyoneThe humiliation and submission aspects (and how they differ emotionally)Why communication is the real foundation — not sexHow porn and social media distort expectationsWhy you should never try to “convince” your partner into kinkPractical, low-risk ways couples can explore curiosity without jumping inRespecting third parties as real humans, not propsWhy your primary relationship must always stay the priorityReal Talk from MeI say this clearly in the episode, and I'll say it again here:Cuckolding, chastity, FLR, swinging — none of these are required to have a strong relationship.This dynamic only works when:both partners feel safeboth partners communicate openlyjealousy is acknowledged (not ignored)consent is ongoing, enthusiastic, and reversibleIf you're a jealous person, that doesn't make you broken.It just means this may not be for you — and that's okay.Fantasy vs. Support the showHelp Support The Show? https://www.krystinekellogg.com/ Email Me!

If you've ever felt the sting of seeing others succeed or struggled with comparing your journey, this episode is your wake-up call to choose surrender over sabotage.Perfect for believers seeking a genuine connection with God, or anyone tired of the cycle of jealousy and performance — listen now and start transforming comparison into a catalyst for true worship.Follow Brad Here:https://www.instagram.com/bradlowe1979/This show is brought to you by The Hopecast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/hopecastnetwork/

What if the core of equine‑assisted work isn't a method, a certification, or a discipline — but the shared act of creating a new story together?In this wide‑ranging and deeply human conversation, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Betsy Kahl — senior PATH instructor, social worker, horsewoman, and long‑time collaborator in the Horse Boy and Takhin Equine Integration work. Drawing on decades of experience across therapeutic riding, classical dressage, social work, and the performing arts, Betsy reflects on where equine‑assisted practice has come from, where it is now, and where it may need to go next.Together, Rupert and Betsy explore the often‑unspoken layers beneath equine‑assisted work: grief and loss, belonging and exclusion, the tension between mainstream systems and lived wisdom, and the role horses play in helping humans keep moving when life threatens to stall. From theater arts and role‑playing to adaptive riding, veterans' work, and the quiet intelligence of in‑hand training, this episode weaves together disciplines that are too often kept apart.Rather than arguing for a single approach, this conversation invites practitioners, riders, and listeners to reflect on what unites all good equine work — care for the horse's wellbeing, respect for individual capacity, and the courage to remain present in uncertainty. It is a dialogue about humility, creativity, and the radical idea that healing — for horses and humans alike — is relational.If you work with horses and people, or if horses have helped you navigate grief, transition, or identity, this episode offers both grounding and challenge.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

This episode is for the woman who loves her partner, cares deeply about her relationship, and yet feels exhausted, resentful, or disconnected far more often than she wants to admit.You don't want to burn your life down.You don't want to leave your relationship.You just want it to feel better.In this episode, I share a hard truth many couples need to hear:Your relationship cannot thrive if you are constantly self-sacrificing.When you are depleted, over-functioning, and living in survival mode, everyone feels it. Especially your partner.And the irony?The more you put yourself first, the stronger your relationship becomes.In this conversation, I unpack why women are the emotional and energetic centre of the lives they build, how over-functioning quietly kills intimacy, and why learning to receive support is not selfish, but essential.IN THIS EPISODE:Why women are the emotional and energetic nucleus of their relationshipsThe lie we've been sold about self-sacrifice and loveHow over-functioning shows up in modern relationshipsWhy doing more actually creates resentment and disconnectionHow short-term discomfort leads to long-term relationship fulfilmentWhy your partner wants you happier, calmer, and more relaxedThe identity shift that happens when a woman stops holding it all togetherHow putting yourself first changes intimacy, communication, and desireWhy your partner doesn't need to do the work for the relationship to benefitThe subtle but powerful energetic shifts that change everythingYou don't become a better partner by giving more of yourself away.You become a better partner when you are regulated, present, fulfilled, and connected to your own needs.When you stop surviving and start thriving, your relationship responds.APPLY FOR 1:1 COACHINGMagnetic Muse is my private 1:1 coaching experience for high-achieving women who are ready to stop self-sacrificing and start living from presence, pleasure, and embodied confidence.This work is about:Releasing over-functioning and controlLearning how to receive support without guiltCreating deeper intimacy and connection in relationshipsSetting boundaries at work so you can leave work at workReconnecting with your body, desires, and feminine energyWhen you shift, every area of your life shifts.I'm currently opening a small number of private 1:1 spaces inside Magnetic Muse.You can:Apply directly here - https://www.khorrocks.com/coachingOr DM me COACHING on Instagram if you want to talk it through first - https://www.instagram.com/kat_horrocks/

Do you wish you had someone to understand what you're going through or have been through?When you fall in love with someone, you're never thinking about mental illness. You're drawn in by energy, charm, chemistry — and in my case, all of that came with a hidden battle: bipolar disorder. This is my deeply personal journey of being married to someone with undiagnosed bipolar — and how it changed everything. If you're navigating mental illness in your marriage or loving someone with a diagnosis, this podcast is your space to feel seen, understood, and supported.On this podcast I share the whirlwind beginning of my relationship with my husband — how his magnetic energy and intense focus made me feel alive and unstoppable. But beneath the charm was a mental health struggle that would dramatically reshape our marriage. This trailer sets the stage for I Married Bipolar, a podcast told from the perspective of the partner — raw, real, and rooted in love and resilience. I also speak to the community that's grown around my story, and my mission to make sure no one feels alone with bipolar again. Key Takeaways of this PodcastThe emotional journey of loving someone with undiagnosed bipolar disorder in a marriageHow intense connection can mask early warning signs of mental health challenges in relationshipsThe lived experience of a spouse navigating bipolar disorder from a faith-informed lensThe trauma, abandonment fears, and rebuilding that come with a bipolar diagnosis in long-term relationshipsThe power of community in supporting partners of those with bipolar disorderConnect with TempleTempleleffingwell@gmail.comInstagramFacebookAmazon / Kindle"Whoops, I Married Bipolar: An Inside Look at A Real Relationship with Mental Illness" Book / AudioBookLinksHeart Healers Brain GangMajor TransformationHealing Foundation90 Minute One on One Post Production for I Married Bipolar is done by:OceanTreeCreative@gmail.com

Should you keep trying to repair a relationship, or is it time to walk away? If you've found yourself repeatedly questioning the level of toxicity in your relationships — with a parent, sibling, friend, or even a new romantic partner — this episode will help you sort through the tug of war inside your body and mind.For many survivors of narcissistic abuse, the end of an abusive marriage doesn't magically clarify all of the other relationships in your life. Instead, it often brings more confusion. You may start noticing behaviors you once excused, feeling drained after interactions, or wondering whether you are seeing red flags or simply overreacting because of your trauma history. And when you're already carrying the emotional weight of post-separation abuse and rebuilding your life, the question “Should I mend this relationship or should I go?” can feel overwhelming.To help bring clarity, I sit down with Kate King, LPC, who offers a grounded framework for checking in with your authentic self to decide whether a relationship can be repaired with boundaries or whether it's healthier — and safer — to step away. We talk about:What your nervous system is trying to tell you about a relationshipHow your trauma history influences the way you assess safetyWhat repair actually looks like in healthy relationshipsThe signs that it may be time to move onHow to begin healing through the body, not just the mindKate also shares insights from her upcoming book, Mend or Move On: A Guide to Healing or Leaving Toxic Relationships (coming January 2026), including how survivors can use it to navigate these complex decisions with more confidence and compassion.If you're wrestling with whether to give someone another chance, set firmer boundaries, or let go completely, this conversation offers clarity, direction, and deep validation.Connect with Kate: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theradiantlifeprojectYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@TheRadiantLifeProject Please leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.

In this episode of The Life Shift, we explore a pivotal life shift and the before and after moments that shaped Katie Grimes' journey toward self-awareness, healing old patterns, and learning to trust herself again.There are moments in life when you look around and realize you have been carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations. Maybe you know that feeling. The quiet pressure to keep it all together. The fear that if you slow down even for a second, everything you have been outrunning will finally catch up.Katie Grimes knows that place well. She grew up trying to earn belonging, trying to stay safe in a home shaped by addiction, fear, and silence. For years, she filled her life with noise and motion and relationships that echoed her earliest wounds. But somewhere inside the chaos, something steady began to rise. A small voice that said it was time to stop pretending and start healing. That voice became her line in the sand moment.This conversation holds all of that tenderness. The grief she carried. The patterns she had to unlearn. The deep self-awareness she fought for. And the peace she has found in finally listening to herself. I hope that as you hear Katie's story, you feel a soft reminder that you are not alone in the places that feel messy or unfinished.What You'll HearThe loneliness that follows a childhood shaped by addiction and fearHow early abandonment patterns echo in adult relationshipsThe breaking point that forced Katie to face her own truthThe long, slow climb into recovery and self-awarenessHow faith, stillness, and support helped her rebuildThe quiet strength she carries now as she chooses a different lifeGuest BioKatie Grimes is a business coach, podcast host, and entrepreneur who helps busy business owners build routines they can actually keep. After growing a relationship coaching business to $550,000, she shifted her focus to business coaching, guiding people as they learn to set boundaries, build confidence, and create work that supports a life they love. Through her podcast, Anything for Love, and her digital courses, Katie has helped more than 100,000 people feel their feelings, speak up for what they need, and step away from the constant pressure to do more.https://www.katiegrimes.com/Listen and follow: www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com/followSupport the show for ad-free and early-release episodes: www.patreon.com/thelifeshiftpodcastSubscribe to the newsletter: https://thelifeshiftpodcast.beehiiv.com/

Chris shares how the pandemic prompted a fundamental shift in how he viewed his role as a lawyer — from focusing primarily on results to becoming deeply intentional about how clients feel at every stage of representation. He explains why client service begins at intake, long before a fee agreement is signed, and why firms that ignore the client experience do so at their own risk. With honesty, humor, and concrete examples, Chris discusses:Why client experience starts at the first phone call — and how tone, empathy, and responsiveness shape trustHow over-communication beats silence, even when there are no case updatesUsing client portals, automation, and surveys to improve communication without increasing attorney workloadTurning clients into “raving fans” who drive referrals long after a case endsWhy unhappy clients rarely complain directly — but always remember poor communicationHow brutal honesty, delivered with care, strengthens client relationshipsThe parallels between law firms and service businesses like restaurants and AmazonHow improving client experience benefits not only clients, but also staff morale and firm culture Chris emphasizes that most of the most impactful improvements to client experience are low-cost or free, requiring intention rather than technology — and that firms who prioritize service see fewer bar complaints, better reviews, and stronger reputations over time. Featured GuestChris Earley, Esq. — Boston personal injury attorney and firm owner with nearly 20 years of experience. Chris focuses on client-centered practice design, communication systems, and building law firms that grow through trust, service, and referrals. Links and Resources:MCLE Online PassEarley Law Group Injury Lawyers Connect with us on social!Instagram: mcle.newenglandLinkedIn: Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc.

If you've ever felt constantly on edge in your relationships—reading into tone changes, bracing for rejection, or waiting for the other shoe to drop—this episode is for you.Today, I'm unpacking rejection sensitivity: why it shows up so strongly for ADHDers, how it gets wired into the nervous system, and what it actually looks like to heal it in real life.I share a clear before-and-after from my own marriage—how I used to interpret neutral moments as danger, and how learning to regulate my nervous system completely changed the way I show up in relationship.You'll learn:Why rejection sensitivity isn't you being “too sensitive,” but your nervous system doing its jobHow ADHD intensifies rejection sensitivityWhat keeps old “walking on eggshells” patterns alive in safe adult relationshipsThe four shifts that helped me move from fear and reassurance-seeking to grounded self-trustHow to tell the difference between real rejection, perceived rejection, and someone else's bad dayHealing rejection sensitivity doesn't make you bulletproof—it makes you discerning. It helps you stop treating safe people like they're dangerous and start trusting yourself instead of the emotional weather of others.You don't have to walk on eggshells forever.Self-trust is learnable.

As the world slows down in the quiet space between years, Chanie invites school leaders into a powerful reflection:What did this year build in you?Not what you accomplished…Not what you finished…Not what you checked off the list…But what was formed within you as a leader navigating exhaustion, momentum, setbacks, breakthroughs, culture challenges, enrollment pressures, financial strain, team transition, and the very real humanity of leadership.In this deeply personal episode, Chanie shares her own journey through 2025 — a year that stretched her capacity, reshaped her identity as a leader, and forced her to develop new rhythms of discernment, emotional regulation, faith, marriage, health, and operational leadership.And while the details are her own, the themes are universal for school leaders:The invisible weight you carryThe pressure to remember everythingThe instinct to manage every outcomeThe exhaustion of holding everyone's emotionsThe desire for relief without guiltThe dance of relationshipsThe need for rhythms, not more systemsThis episode is a mirror, reflecting back the capacity you've built this year, often without even noticing.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe Leadership Lessons Inside a Full Year of StretchWhy capacity is built in friction, stretch, and tension — not in easeHow slowing down becomes a leadership strategy, not a setbackThe hidden emotional labor behind writing This Can't Be NormalWhat the Five Gears framework revealed about school operations and leadershipWhy memory can't be your leadership system — and how rhythms carry what your brain shouldn'tHow marriage, teams, and leadership all share the same “choreography” of conflictWhat it means to return — and why trust is built in the returnHow faith, steadiness, and presence become leadership anchorsThe power of “living the question” instead of rushing toward clarityWhy you're not behind — you're in a season that's building youKey Insights for School Leaders1. Capacity is being built right now — even if it feels messy.Your stretch is the training ground for deeper leadership.2. Rhythms protect your energy more than systems ever will.This is the heart of SOE: predictable rhythms outperform reactive solutions.3. Slowing down keeps you steady — it never means you're behind.Hustle creates fragility. Rhythm builds...

Do you ever feel like your body is reacting for you—especially in moments of stress or around certain people?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jessica Bishop, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Yoga Teacher, to dive into her personal journey of healing anxiety, nervous system regulation, and living with essential tremors. Jess shares her experience of relying on medication for years, and how somatic healing and learning to regulate her nervous system not only transformed her physical symptoms, it changed the way she relates and shows up with others.We explore how Jess's essential tremors, panic attacks, and chronic anxiety once controlled her life—and how somatic practices, emotional regulation, and embodiment  brought real, lasting anxiety relief. She talks about how she reduced her need for medication, left an unhealthy marriage, and learned about secure attachment, leading to a healthier relationship and a deeper sense of emotional safety in her body.This conversation gently unveils how body-based therapy and somatic practices can heal trauma, transform anxiety, and reshape the relationships you attract—starting with the relationship you have with your own body.In this episode, you'll learn:Simple somatic tools for healing anxiety and stressThe power of emotional safety in trauma recoveryHow somatic practices help regulate your nervous system and stress response.What it feels like to experience secure attachment in your bodyHow nervous system regulation can support healthier relationshipsThe difference between intellectual awareness and embodied awareness. Why yoga is often the gateway practice into somatic experiencing. How to tell the difference between a "threat response" and the feeling of "butterflies"If you're on a journey to trust your body again or notice how your relationships impact your nervous system, you're not alone. Your body has wisdom, and as you create more safety, it has the potential to change.Much love,LaurieClick here for a video on how to leave a review to receive a free somatic stabilization/grounding exercise.

This week, I'm talking about one of the biggest factors that determines whether teams, marriages, families, and friendships stay strong or quietly fall apart: how we see each other.Most relationships don't break because someone did something terrible. They break because of misperceptions, unfair assumptions, and the slow erosion of unity. When we magnify each other's flaws, assign motives that aren't there, or expect others to live without the imperfections we allow in ourselves, everything becomes fragile.In this episode, I dig into:Why unity is built on accepting others' flaws rather than collecting themHow pettiness destroys marriages, teams, and even nationsThe difference between judging someone's actions and judging their motivesWhy magnanimity — generosity of spirit — is the foundation of strong relationshipsThe importance of each person understanding and embracing their roleHow gratitude and latitude protect relationships from unnecessary conflictIf you want to strengthen the relationships that matter most — at work or at home — this episode will help you see people more clearly and support them more effectively.

Unlocking Global Talent and Founder Freedom: Insights from Sid Jashnani of RekruutoIn this episode, host Josh Elledge talks with Sid Jashnani, Founder of Rekruuto and certified EOS implementer, about how founders can reclaim their time, scale with confidence, and access high-performing global talent. Sid shares his personal leadership journey, his frameworks for effective delegation, and his expert perspective on hiring senior-level overseas professionals—revealing practical, repeatable systems founders can apply immediately.The Power of Global Hiring and Delegation for FoundersSid's story begins on the golf course with his 14-year-old son during a period of serious illness—an experience that reshaped how he leads both at home and in business. Instead of defaulting to advice or correction, Sid embraced curiosity, asking open-ended questions that encouraged deeper connection. This same leadership principle applies directly to business: when founders listen more and prescribe less, teams become empowered, engaged, and more accountable.Sid also challenges the common belief that overseas hiring should be limited to entry-level roles. Drawing from his experience in the Philippines, he explains why many mid- and senior-level professionals abroad bring global expertise, strong process orientation, and cultural adaptability—making them strong fits for operations, marketing, finance, and management roles within EOS-driven companies. With proper onboarding and context-sharing, these hires integrate seamlessly and provide exceptional value at a fraction of the cost.To help founders free themselves from burnout and low-value tasks, Sid offers his four-quadrant time audit: a simple but powerful system for categorizing activities based on skill and enjoyment. By identifying tasks you are good at but dislike—or those you neither enjoy nor do well—leaders can delegate strategically, reinvesting their energy into high-impact work that drives revenue, growth, and clarity.About Sid JashnaniSid Jashnani is the Founder of Rekruuto, a global hiring agency specializing in matching U.S. companies with senior-level talent from overseas. As a certified EOS implementer and seasoned entrepreneur, Sid helps founders streamline their operations, delegate effectively, and scale sustainably.

"We were adding customers, losing customers, adding customers, losing customers. We were stalling."Gaurav Bhattacharya had $2.5M ARR and 50 customers. On paper, things looked fine. But momentum wasn't there. Instead of pushing harder, he split his company in two – and nine months later, Jeeva AI had 10,000 users and 300 enterprise customers.In today's episode, I'm joined by Gaurav Bhattacharya, Founder and CEO of Jeeva AI. After successfully exiting his first healthcare AI startup, Gaurav spent five years building a data intelligence platform to $2.5M ARR before recognising it would never become the great business he wanted. His solution? Split the team in two – one to keep the lights on, one to prove product-market fit for a completely new idea. The result was Jeeva AI, a sales intelligence tool that exploded to 10,000 users in nine months.Together we unpack:How to decide when a "good" business will never become greatThe two-team strategy: keeping lights on whilst proving new product-market fitWhy pattern recognition is the most underrated founder skillHow to pivot without killing team morale or burning investor relationshipsThe shift from enterprise sales to PLG (and why it required completely different muscles)
