Podcasts about Respect

In their third session, Zach shifts focus from reparenting the self to rebuilding trust, compassion, and connection in real time. The couple begins by reflecting on the chaos of parenting two neurodivergent children and how exhaustion, overwhelm, and constant caregiving have reshaped their marriage. The wife shares that while parenting has deep purpose and spiritual meaning, it also leaves her feeling “brought to her knees.” The husband expresses gratitude for their new home in Lisbon and admiration for her recent self-care efforts—but his words about “having more respect” land in a complicated way. What unfolds next is a layered conversation about respect versus compassion—how differently each experiences and defines those words, and how love can be both abundant and still “not land.” The wife reveals her fear that her “bucket has a hole”—that trauma keeps love from staying inside. The husband wrestles with the feeling of being both compassionate and exhausted. Zach guides them toward clarity: that differences in meaning, experience, and emotional wiring don't mean disconnection—they're invitations to co-create a shared vocabulary of care. By the end, the trio lands on a metaphor for healing: building an inner “city with a well and garden”. A healthy place inside the self where gratitude, curiosity, and compassion can grow. From there, they imagine a next step; ten intentional days of small, mutual choices to create a shared sense of safety and hope. Key Takeaways Parenting exposes purpose and pressure – Raising neurodivergent kids has deepened their sense of mission but also stretched their capacity for joy. Respect and compassion can get tangled – The husband's expression of regained respect triggers the wife's old shame wounds, revealing how love languages can misfire even when intentions are good. Compassion must land – It's not about whether compassion exists, but whether it's experienced and felt. Trauma leaves “holes in the bucket” – The wife describes how past pain can make love hard to hold, even when it's generously offered. Shame cycles need space – Zach helps her imagine creating a small pause between shame and reaction—a mindful sliver that grows with practice. Safety over sameness – Each partner's version of health looks different, but the shared goal is to meet in a “healthy place,” not to drag the other toward one definition. Gratitude and agency go together – The husband learns that his peace can't depend on her choices; it must come from cultivating gratitude within himself. Ten-day goals – They agree to take small, concrete steps—ten days at a time—to make life together a little “more good” and a little “less bad.” Learn more about your ad choices.

https://teachhoops.com/ The most effective way to communicate with basketball officials begins long before you have a complaint. Start by building a professional rapport; greet the crew by name before the game, be respectful, and ask if they have any points of emphasis. During the game, your goal is not to get a call overturned—it's to seek clarification or plant a seed for the future. You must pick your spots strategically: wait for a dead ball, a timeout, or a free throw. Never address an official during live play, and be sure to get their attention calmly (e.g., "Tim, can I get a quick word on the next dead ball?") rather than yelling across the court. Your language and tone are more critical than the complaint itself. Never start a question with the word "you," which makes the interaction personal and defensive (e.g., "You missed that call!"). Instead, ask open-ended questions like, "What did you see on that drive?" or "From my angle, it looked like there was body contact; what made it a block?" Focusing on rule-specific language ("displacement," "verticality") rather than emotional complaints ("over the back!") also demonstrates that you know the rules and are seeking a professional interpretation, not just venting. Finally, you must avoid the "magic phrases" that officials are conditioned to ignore or penalize. Yelling "Call it both ways!" or "They've been doing it all game!" will get you tuned out immediately. The fastest way to lose all credibility and earn a technical foul is to question an official's integrity, fairness, or eyesight. Respect is a two-way street; by controlling your emotions and choosing your words wisely, you show officials that you are a coach they can have a reasonable dialogue with, which will pay dividends when you have a legitimate concern.

Ever bought an album just because you should love it... only to file it under "respect, but no thanks"? This week, Andrew Culture and Dr. Sam go full chin-strokey and dive deep into the bands, albums, and entire genres that make them go, "I get it. I just don't want it." We're talking Flux of Pink Indians' sonic assaults, John Zorn's sex-jazz chaos, Minutemen's minute-long jazz-punk spasms, and yes, that unholy racket from Merzbow. Along the way we also chat about Damon Albarn's trouser-based stage antics, Janis Joplin's wardrobe malfunctions, and what happens when Rick Wakeman tries to write a stadium-rock opera about Henry VIII's wives. Seriously. It's an episode filled with love for the bold, the bizarre, and the borderline unlistenable. So grab your brandy, light your pipe, and stroke your chin in a disapproving-yet-respectful fashion. What you'll learn this episode: Why Andrew would rather chew tinfoil than listen to Merzbow again What makes Dr. Sam say "this is basically an angry Jackson Pollock painting" Who wins the battle of "I admire them, but no thanks" — Apex Twin or The Minutemen?

Marriage: Love and Respect

In this Friday Rant, I talk about something we rarely give ourselves permission to do — pause. Growth is a game of levels, and too often we push straight from one to the next without resting, reflecting, or asking if the next climb is even worth it. I share how understanding the cost of progress — in energy, health, and mindset — can help you grow more intentionally and sustainably. Because sometimes the smartest move isn't to push harder… it's to sit on the step you've earned and gather the strength for what's next.Key Takeaways:- Life is a game of levels. Every new goal requires a new version of you.- Respect the pause. Rest is not quitting — it's preparation for what's next.- Count the cost. Bigger goals mean bigger sacrifice; decide if it's worth it.- Celebrate progress. Acknowledge how far you've come before chasing more.- Don't rush the climb. Sit at the edge of each step, reflect, and realign.- Momentum isn't everything. Sometimes the best strategy is to hold your line until the timing, energy, and alignment feel right.If this hit home, share it with someone who's always pushing but never pausing. Rate and review the show to help more people find the balance between hustle and rest.

Respect is a cornerstone; without it, things crumble. Today, Pastor Mark points to a troubling sign in America, echoing Israel's past. A nation straying from God shows it when even children disrespect those in authority, like parents or elders. God takes this seriously, making it one of His Ten Commandments. When children are cursing adults, it signals a deeper rebellion under God's judgment. Restoring respect starts with turning back to Him. God can renew a heart or a nation that honors what He values. It's a call to rebuild what's been lost. How can you foster respect in your life to reflect God's values?

Trust rarely fails with a crash; it thins out through tiny cuts. We unpack how unclear or ignored boundaries chip away at relationships and show practical ways to rebuild trust with clarity, courage, and compassion. Using Brene Brown's BRAVING as a guide, we broaden trust beyond reliability to include accountability, the vault, integrity, nonjudgment, and generosity—starting with boundaries as the first move.We walk through ten common boundary violations leaders often miss: intrusions on privacy, work-life overreach, role oversteps, dismissed emotions, wasted time, autonomy squeezes, tech misuse, neglected health needs, broken confidentiality, and cultural disrespect. You'll hear why most of these slips are unintentional—and why intent doesn't erase impact. Then we translate awareness into action with simple scripts to name a violation, explain the effect, and ask for a new agreement without blaming motives.For teams, we offer clear norms that lower friction: quiet hours, meeting purpose and limits, response-time windows, decision rights, and explicit rules for confidential topics. We share how to model integrity by owning mistakes quickly, how to practice nonjudgment and generosity during feedback, and how to protect autonomy by focusing on outcomes over micromanagement. The result is a culture where people feel safe to speak up, bring energy to the work that matters, and protect the values that keep them well.If this conversation helps you rethink boundaries and trust, subscribe, share it with a colleague who needs it today, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.

Gary Danielson loves to compete. And like all elite competitors, what is never seen, or heard is the how they talk to themselves when all else is quiet. When doubters show up, they remind themselves they are playing a completely different game. Rather, an infinite one.That's Gary. For decades we have heard his voice: coaching viewers and celebrating the game. Today he joins the Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.I met Gary in 2018. I was calling pre-season games for the short lived Alliance of American Football League (AAF) and he was set to be the main voice on the air for the regular season. As the broadcast began I looked over my left shoulder and there he was. A legend in the business and a man studying the game, honing his craft.At halftime I said hello but was too nervous to ask legit questions, gain advice and lean into his welcoming nature.This past July that all changed. We had a profound conversation at Big Ten Media Days, one that impacted me on so many levels, and since then have been able to forge a relationship. I learned that Gary, much like the giants in college football media, are kind, thoughtful and when in the twilight of their careers—only want to help.He did. He has.When I sat down with him for this week's episode of Y-Option, I found a man who still sees the game the way a quarterback does—scanning the field, anticipating pressure, staying calm in chaos.Gary has spent decades calling the biggest games in college football—his voice layered into the sport's history like a soundtrack for fall Saturday's. But beneath the broadcast polish is a story about grit, belief, and what it means to compete when the odds say otherwise.He began as an overlooked college player who refused to give up. When the NFL didn't call, he made his own calls—writing letters to every team in the league until one gave him a shot. That moment defined him. It wasn't luck. It was conviction.And that same conviction carried him through an extraordinary second act—not as a player, but as a broadcaster who treated every assignment like a game that mattered. Week after week, year after year, he studied film, built edges of puzzles, and trusted his instincts once the lights came on. He never coasted. He never took a play off.What stands out most about Gary isn't his longevity—it's his consistency. Whether he was breaking down a play on CBS or in a production meeting with players, he has approached each moment with respect for those who play, coach and watch. He saw broadcasting as a responsibility—not just to inform, but to teach and reveal the deeper beauty of the game.Now, in his final few games on CBS, there's a grace to how he talks about walking away. He's proud, but not boastful. Competitive, but grounded. What drives him is the same thing that fueled him as a player: doing the work, earning trust, and honoring the craft.At 74, he still sees himself as a player—not because he misses the roar of the crowd, but because the mindset never left him. Compete. Prepare. Respect the game. Elevate your teammates. Finish strong. Inspire others. And always believe in yourself. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.No planes this week as have a home game with Iowa visiting USC in a game that will be won at the line of scrimmage and what should be a sold out Coliseum. Hope you enjoy another week in college football, as the regular season is almost over.As always—much love and stay steady,YogiThanks for reading Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth!

Cyclops is the Greatest X-Man. 

Many Civilizations confuse anesthesia with peace. Likewise, many men hide behind polished restraint, while mistaking numbness for nobility. Their smiles function as fences; their empathy, as anesthetic. They imitate kindness the way machines imitate breath—accurate, efficient, even lifeless. This counterfeit softness originates not in compassion but in fear—the reflex of a boy who learned that “tendernism” invited punishment. He grows into a man who calls avoidance “balance,” submission from the other “respect,” and self-erasure “love.” Psychiatry observes this as the fawn response: appeasement weaponized as a tool of survival. Neuroscience reveals its circuitry—cortisol suppressed by oxytocin, adrenaline redirected into charm. Anthropology names it the domestication of the male spirit: the tribe praises his calm while his vitality dies under applause of performance based acceptance. Religion sanctifies the same paralysis, rewarding meekness without presence, obedience without awareness. Such manhood performs serenity yet radiates suffocation. He cannot create; he can only consent.

The EC Show: Happy Veteran's Day — NCAA Tourney with Enasia Colon, Football News & Much MoreWe're kicking off this special episode with a big Happy Veteran's Day to all who've served — much RespECt to the heroes who protect our freedom

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Steve are joined by two of football's most iconic gaffers — Tony Pulis and Mick McCarthy. Between them, they've seen it all: Premier League survival battles, international tournaments, and the changing face of English football. The lads dig deep into what it really means to be a manager — from adapting your tactics to your players, to dealing with the press, to that gut-wrenching moment when you know “the game's gone.”Tony opens up about his no-nonsense days at Stoke, why long grass was a tactical weapon, and the dark art of winning ugly. Mick recalls his highs with Ireland, his time at Wolves, and the unforgettable press conference moment that went viral for all the wrong reasons. Together, they share hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, harsh truths about modern football, and surprisingly tender reflections on what they miss — and don't miss — about life in the dugout.It's a masterclass in management, packed with wisdom, wit, and a few classic gaffer blow-ups.

It's The Honorable Junns — not a Bantu or a Jew, but an Alkebulan Kidnapped that's ready for the get back. Welcome back to the Redeem or Destroy Podcast, where we deal with facts over beliefs and awaken the minds of the kidnapped.In this episode we expose the facts behind why Black children are growing up under systems that push them into “bad ass” roles—why their defiance, toughness, and survival skills are not simply teenage rebellion but the by-product of systemic breakdowns. We'll dig into toxic stress, racialized discipline, broken family structures, and the culture of survival that's passing from generation to generation.Get ready: no fluff, no comfort, only cold hard facts. Respect your DNA.

You've told your parents you're not available during work hours. They keep calling anyway. You've asked them not to comment on your weight. They bring it up again on the next visit. You've said no to those random Amazon gifts. Another package arrives at your door. Many parents know how to set boundaries, but get stuck when someone won't respect them. In this summary episode, therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab shares practical strategies for enforcing boundaries when people repeatedly ignore or dismiss them. You'll learn about the "fire extinguisher method" for stopping uncomfortable conversations before they spiralhow to embody your boundaries through your actions (not just your words)how to navigate the especially tricky situation where you rely on someone for childcare but they won't respect your limits. Nedra also discusses her new children's book and works through real scenarios about unwanted gifts, body-shaming comments, and what to do when setting a boundary means potentially losing support you need. This conversation gets honest about the hard choices enforcing boundaries sometimes requires. Can you really maintain a boundary with someone you depend on? What do you do when the person provides childcare for you? Nedra offers a clear framework for deciding when to stand firm, how to take action when words aren't working, and why allowing people to be upset with you is part of the process. Questions this episode will answer How do you deal with someone who doesn't respect boundaries? Enforce the boundary through your behavior, not just your words. If someone keeps calling during work hours after you've asked them not to, don't answer the phone. If they bring unwanted gifts, donate them immediately or return them to the gift-giver. You can't control what they do, but you can control what you do. Why is setting boundaries so hard? We often learned in our families of origin that setting boundaries leads to rejection or anger. We worry about people being mad at us, the relationship ending, or being seen as selfish. These fears come from early experiences where our caregivers responded poorly when we tried to express our needs and boundaries. How do you enforce boundaries when words aren't working? Use behavioral enforcement. Stop answering calls during the times you've said you're unavailable. Use the "fire extinguisher method" to interrupt conversations the moment they start heading toward topics you've said are off-limits. Show through your actions that you meant what you said. What is the fire extinguisher method for boundaries? Jump in to stop conversations before they get going, the way you'd use a fire extinguisher on a small flame before it spreads. When someone starts bringing up a topic you've clearly said you won't discuss, interrupt them immediately: "I know where this is going, and I don't want to talk about it.” Why do people get upset when you set boundaries? Some people are used to being able to say or do whatever they want in the relationship. Your boundary ‘brushes up against' their expectation of having full access to you or being able to speak freely. They may also genuinely believe you need to hear what they have to say. Should you be with someone who doesn't respect your boundaries? This depends on the severity of the violation and your level of dependence. If someone provides childcare but also body shames you, you may need to find alternative childcare to truly maintain the boundary. Sometimes you have to choose between the support someone offers and having your boundaries respected. You might accept that certain behaviors come as part of the "package," or you might want to reduce your...
