In this episode, one of Hollywood's leading wellness experts + founder of The Pure Joy App, Kelsey Patel, opens up about the year that brought her to her knees—mysterious illness, anxiety, insomnia, psychiatric medication, and the terrifying fear that she was losing her mind.  What she ultimately uncovered at the root of it all changed everything. Ahead, Kelsey speaks candidly about mold illness symptoms, the stigma around psychiatric medication, and navigating holistic healing alongside pharmaceuticals.  Her darkest season ultimately became a profound spiritual awakening + radical return to faith. Together, Krista + Kelsey explore community as medicine, mother wounds, chronic illness, burnout, and the deeper spiritual reckoning beneath anxiety + autoimmune symptoms.  We also talk about: Neuroinflammation, vertigo, insomnia, and panic attacks explained The difference between holistic healing + when medication becomes necessary Releasing shame around psychiatric medication + mental health support Mother wounds, generational trauma, and healing complicated parent relationships Why community is the most underrated healing modality “God walks,” prayer practices, and rebuilding a relationship with faith Spiritual awakening vs. spiritual entertainment Letting go of supplement overload + wellness industry extremes Learning to surrender control + trust divine timing Resources: Instagram: ⁠@kelseyjpatel⁠ and ⁠@miraclemanor⁠  Website: ⁠www.kelseyjpatel.com⁠ App: ⁠The Pure Joy App⁠ available on iPhone and Android - see Kelsey's website for more details and a free week membership Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: ⁠https://bit.ly/Almost30Book⁠.  Sponsors: Fatty15 | Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to ⁠https://www.fatty15.com/ALMOST30⁠ and use code ALMOST30 at checkout.  Ka'Chava | Go to ⁠https://www.kachava.com⁠ and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

Why does condemnation feel so automatic?In this episode, John explores how shame and judgment often operate through what sociologists call status degradation rituals, the subtle ways we lower others to elevate ourselves.Drawing on insights from Harold Garfinkel, John shows how condemnation works socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Then he walks us through powerful Gospel moments where Jesus reverses the pattern:• the sinful woman at Simon's house• the prodigal son welcomed home• Jesus washing his disciples' feet• and ultimately, the cross itselfYou'll learn:- how condemnation functions as a social ritual- why Jesus chooses downward mobility- how humility defeats hostility- what Philippians 2 reveals about real greatness- how serving others rewires the heartJohn also reflects on how crucifixion was designed by Rome as the ultimate humiliation — and how Jesus voluntarily enters that suffering to defeat condemnation once and for all.The invitation is simple and brave:come to Jesus in humility,serve instead of shame,and help elevate the people around you.Because there really is now no condemnation.

No one tells you what becoming a parent actually feels like. Not the baby registry, not the birth plan—but the identity shift, the relationship changes, the loneliness, grief, and joy that cracks you open. In this solo, Lindsey shares what she genuinely wishes someone had told her before becoming a mom. From nervous system overload + sleep deprivation to partnership strain + matrescence (the emotional + psychological transformation of motherhood), Lindsey pulls back the curtain on early parenthood. This isn't about fear—it's about truth. The discomfort, the rewiring, the ego death, and the profound expansion that comes with raising a child. If you're a new mom, thinking about becoming a parent, or deep in your own identity shift in your 30s, this episode will make you feel seen. It's honest, grounding, and deeply reassuring: you're not doing it wrong—it's just that big of a transformation. We also talk about: Why motherhood expands your capacity for discomfort The nervous system rewiring that happens after having a baby Intrusive thoughts + heightened sensitivity in early motherhood Relationship changes after a baby (+ the Gottman research on partnership dips) Why you don't “go back” to your old self—and why that's freeing Matrescence + identity loss in your 30s Grieving your old life while loving your child How motherhood ruthlessly edits your priorities Perfectionism in parenting + attachment research truths Emotional availability vs. “doing it right” Loneliness in early motherhood + building your village Reparenting yourself while raising your child Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Our Place | Visit https://www.fromourplace.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off sitewide.  Fatty15 | Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://www.fatty15.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 at checkout.  Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

Ever felt calmer in a roaring stadium than a quiet supermarket? In this episode, I unpack the strange maths of social anxiety and autism — and why a packed night at McDonald Jones Stadium can feel safer than a fluorescent aisle at Coles. I walk you through hyper-vigilance, sensory overload, and the stories my brain spins when I'm late, lost, or convinced someone's in “my” seat. And underneath it all? Love. Love for the Newcastle Knights, for red and blue, and for the city that built me.We talk social batteries — how sleep and solitude recharge them, but not always in time for kickoff. When that battery's low, catastrophising creeps in fast. Small unknowns become full-blown internal conflict scenes. But there's a second battery too: passion. Identity. Ritual. Loyalty. The chants, the banter, the stubborn belief the ref needs a reminder about the offside rule. Sometimes it's magic. Sometimes I'm completely cooked by halftime. Both are true.I also share the story behind my Pride of the Hunter banner — why it fires me up, why people look for it on TV, and why part of me still worries I'm in the way. If you live with anxiety or sensory sensitivity, you'll recognise the push-pull of doing what you love while your nervous system screams no. The takeaways? Anchor to values. Accept the nerves. Convert adrenaline into purpose. And plan recovery like it matters — because it absolutely does.-- Follow The Dysregulated Podcast: Instagram – @elliot.t.waters Facebook – The Dysregulated Podcast YouTube – The Dysregulated Podcast (Official Channel) Created by Elliot Waters — Inspired by lived experience.

If you've ever felt stuck and don't have the words to pray, or you've felt so discouraged or disoriented that you don't know where to start, this conversation is for you. Brad Gray and Brad Nelson are both with the organization Walking the Text, where they help people understand the original meaning and context of Scripture. They've been friends for 25 years and have now gotten to work on a documentary, TV series, and book all around The Lord's Prayer. Their depth of knowledge around Scripture is incredible and they're helping us figure out how to use the Lord's prayer in our daily rhythms with God. There are some really practical ways to do this that we talk about at the end and I think you're going to want to get your note-taking pages ready.

This is not a normal week. We are inside an eclipse corridor — between two eclipses — and what you choose now matters. In this episode, I break down the seed-planting energy, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and the breakthrough warrior current building toward Friday. — Creation IX enrollment closes Feb 23 at 5pm. If you're feeling this week as a choice-point between two worlds, details here — We're sandwiched between two soul-shaking eclipses: New Moon Eclipse (Feb 17) Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) What you choose this week… what you speak, release, align to, and walk toward… will ripple out for months, maybe lifetimes. Let's walk it consciously. Let's make this week count. Let's choose from soul. Below are your 5 core themes, 3 big astrology dates, journal prompts + ritual guidance to support your path this week. 5 Core Themes of the Week 1. Choice Point Between Two Worlds You're at a fork in the road. One path loops you into old conditioning. The other… breaks you into freedom, into the extraordinary. Ask: Which world am I feeding with my attention? 2. Breakthrough Energy: Into the New You This week is about shattering upper limits — ancestral, personal, societal. You're being invited to become truer than ever before. 3. Shock into Sovereignty There's a shake-up here — not to scare, but to liberate. This is about reclaiming your direct, sovereign relationship with the divine, outside of any tradition or lineage. 4. Seeding the Future Every word, choice, and step this week is a seed. The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) wants you to plant embodied, grounded soul seeds — not for the old life, but for the one you're really here to live. 5. Mercury Retrograde: Soul Re-Visioning Begins On Feb 25, Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces. This is no ordinary retrograde — it’s an invitation to reimagine, reconnect, and realign with your spirit's dream, not your ego's plan. Key Dates to Watch Wednesday, Feb 25 — Mercury Retrograde Begins (Pisces) Expect dreamier, non-linear insight. Ritual idea: Sit in meditation or free-write to ask: What limiting story am I ready to dissolve? Thursday, Feb 26 — Sun Conjunct North Node (square Black Moon Lilith) Soul purpose spotlighted. Feminine truth cannot be denied. Prompt: What must I honor about my feminine soul path, even if it doesn't “make sense”? Friday, Feb 27 — Mars Square Uranus Breakthrough energy peaks. Expect action, activation, forward momentum. Ritual: Move your body. Dance. Take one bold action that says “Yes” to your new life. Journal Prompts Where am I planting seeds — in the old world or the new? What part of me is ready to awaken… even if it scares me? What state of being is my soul longing to live from? Where have I still been outsourcing my power? What would it look like to become the artist of my own life? Rituals for the Week Meditate with your future self — the one living your soul path. Speak your truth aloud each morning. Let the words shape your day. Light a candle on Wednesday (Mercury Rx) and offer up one story or belief that's ready to dissolve. Write a soul letter to yourself on Friday — what you're breaking into, not just out of. Feel the Call to Go Deeper? Creation IX Mystery School (starts this week) If you're ready to walk the sovereign soul path — and become a living embodiment of creation energy — this 9-month mystery school was made for you.

In this episode, Ryan Gable break down the claim that the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal hockey game between the U.S. and Canada was rigged for a Jack Hughes overtime goal. From Hughes' physical "sacrifice" of his teeth to his ties to the New Jersey Devils (a team named after a cryptid), we examine why some are branding the victory "Disney on Ice."We also look at the the closing ceremony of the Olympics which received no critical analysis over its two-hour airtime, which when combined with the opening produces over five hours of content—from this came a single image of a red knot and star that people called satanic or Baal. We connect these dots to a larger trend of "lazy" conspiracy theories that ignore the documented history of gambling and point-shaving in favor of mystical rituals. Roman Poet Juvenal famously wrote about panem et circenses, or bread and circuses.What most assume is a method of state-control was actually a demand of the public, Juvenal's fellow citizens. Conspiracy theories have become lazy, and many could probably do with bread and pageantry; instead, they choose to live parallel to reality into an echo-chamber that only gives them the authority of a blind and selective all-seeing eye. In this episode, we also dissect:The NHL & The Devil: How Jack Hughes' overtime winner for Team USA is being linked to his "mythical" NHL team and his kosher roots as part of a "grand distraction."The Kash Patel Connection: Analyzing the "uncomfortable" viral video of the former official drinking beer and celebrating with the team.The Magic Number 33: Why the U.S. finishing with exactly 33 medals overall has sent the "selective all-seeing eye" into a frenzy.NBA & NFL Scripts: Why the "NBA uses magnets" theory (born from old TV commercials) and the "NFL is scripted" marketing campaigns have made fans stop believing in reality.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Send Us a Message!Grief can freeze a life—or forge it. We open a raw, grounded conversation about death, loss, and the quiet rebirth that follows, guided by Shantel's story of losing her 16‑year‑old son and the years of healing that turned pain into purpose. Together we explore what conscious grieving looks like in real time: feeling everything without drowning, setting gentle containers for emotion, and choosing tiny acts of life that keep you moving when the weight says stay in bed.In this episode, we'll explore:

Have you ever visited a Lodge in another state and noticed small, yet distinct, differences in the ritual? Or wondered why, despite these differences, the core ceremony feels so familiar from coast to coast? The answer to both questions can largely be traced back to a pivotal, yet often overlooked, event: the Baltimore Convention of 1843. In this episode, we journey back in time with Masonic author, WB Nathan St. Pierre ("Harmony in the Hive"), to understand this crucial turning point in American Freemasonry. This national convention was an ambitious attempt to unify and standardize Masonic ritual across a rapidly expanding United States.Show notes and links: Join us on Patreon.

This gentle bedtime ritual draws on the ancient practice of Kriat Sh'ma al haMitah, the recitation of the Shema before sleep. As the day comes to a close, participants are guided to release what has been done and what remains undone, making space for rest, trust, and repair. Through breath, brief reflection, and softly spoken words from the Sh'ma and surrounding tradition, the practice invites a felt sense of protection, forgiveness, and surrender. It is not about belief or perfection, but about ending the day with presence and care—consciously returning what we carry, and placing the soul back in God's keeping so the body can fully rest. Ideal for anyone seeking a sacred, grounding close to the day and a more peaceful, wholehearted transition into sleep.

Eine Hochzeit. Ein Portal. Ein Toast mit Trauma-Vergangenheit. In „Ko'Zeine“ wird aus einer vermeintlichen Entführung eine royale Zeremonie auf einem fremden Mond – inklusive Royal-Sealing-Mantel, arrangierter Ehe und einem Ritual, das verdächtig menschlich wirkt. Währenddessen kämpfen Caleb und Genesis auf der Erde mit Selbstzweifeln, Pre-Command-Ambitionen und einer Warp-Schnecke, die ganz sicher keine Sicherheitsfreigabe hatte.

Ryan Gable explores the deep-seated geopolitical and ritualistic motives behind the June 13, 2025, Israeli strikes on Iran in this comprehensive 6-hour special. As Operation Rising Lion transitioned into a 12-day regional conflict, we deconstruct the "maximum pressure" tactics that led to the obliteration of Iranian nuclear facilities and the subsequent retaliation against U.S. bases in Qatar. This special edition of The Secret Teachings features the original 5-hour broadcast, a 30-minute after-show, and an exclusive 1-hour post-analysis of the shifting narrative.We dive into the controversial claims of the "United States of Israel" and analyze reports of the U.S. administration allegedly facilitating conflict to justify further military intervention. From the death of high-level IRGC commanders to the collapse of the Omani-mediated peace talks, Ryan investigates the parallels between ancient religious concepts and modern warfare. Is the push for a "Messianic Era" driving the destruction of the Middle East, or is this the final stage of a long-planned technocratic reset?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

"I have been pregnant now six times, and I have two living children." Amana Mayfield-Faulkner spent 15 years attending births before she became the mother who needed support. Six pregnancies. Two living children. Four babies who died—including Hartley, her daughter born at full term without kidneys, who lived for just a few moments in her mother's arms. In this episode: → The maiden-to-mother grief that exists even in "healthy" pregnancies → Mothering babies in spirit—what it looks like, how it heals → "Am I still a mother?" navigating identity after loss → Creating altars, rituals, and embodied grief practices → Why not all grief can be expressed through words → Post-traumatic growth and how sorrow unlocks our capacity for joy → The spiral nature of grief and how our bodies hold the memory "Grief doesn't always have to be dark or scary or sad. For me, movement—putting on a song and letting my body show me what grief looks like—has been transformative."

The Bus as Wayfinder: Body, Community, and the Ritual of Public TransportIn this episode, I stay on the bus long enough to understand that the journey is not a prelude, it's the ritual.For two years, I've taken public transport across West Cork to swim and train, partly to protect my health, partly to negotiate the quiet truths of aging. But somewhere between timetables and weather, something else happened: the bus became a moving room of community. Drivers who greet you like you matter. Passengers who carry entire biographies in shopping bags. Conversations that feel like “social media” without algorithms, attention offered instead of harvested.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I reflect on how public transport can become a wayfinder, a teacher of patience, humility, and interdependence. And I tell the story of a ninety-two-year-old farmer I met at the Bandon bus stop, a life stitched together through routes, routines, and resilience, until absence became the final message.The episode closes with a song by Los Inorgánicos: “Timetable Hymn.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

John Opsopaus—often known by the name Apollonius—is a scholar, practitioner, and author whose work focuses on Paganism, classical magic, and systems of divination rooted in ancient Greek philosophical and mystical traditions. Opsopaus explores Neoplatonism, theurgy, sacred mathematics, and symbolic ritual practice, examining how ancient magical and divinatory methods were structured as disciplined spiritual sciences. His writings bridge historical scholarship and contemporary practice, presenting Pagan spirituality as an intellectually grounded tradition centered on harmony with cosmic order, ethical self-development, and philosophical understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this deeply illuminating episode of Dr. Lotte: Science with Soul, I sit down with Eimear Burke, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), counselling psychologist, celebrant, and priestess dedicated to Danú. Together we explore: ✦ What Druidry truly is — beyond stereotypes ✦ The Wheel of the Year and seasonal sacred festivals ✦ The intersection of psychology and earth-based spirituality ✦ Ancient Irish myth and restoring women's voices in storytelling ✦ Ritual, ceremony, and honoring the ancestors ✦ The Druid perspective on the afterlife and reincarnation ✦ The deeper meaning of life   Eimear shares how Druidry serves not just as a spiritual path, but as a living value system rooted in reverence for nature, ethics, wisdom, service, and gratitude. This conversation weaves myth, land, ancestry, and consciousness into a powerful reminder that spirituality can be embodied, ecological, and deeply personal. If you've ever felt called to ancient wisdom traditions or wondered whether Druidry might resonate with your soul, this episode offers clarity and depth. Please like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone exploring Druidry, magic, and earth-based spirituality.

Rachel Mann's “#TDOR” manages to turn a depiction of one side of a conversation about marking Trans Day of Remembrance into a poem that is both empathic and uncompromising. Mann captures the verbal stammers and stumbles of the well-meaning but leaves us to reckon whether the words land as mirror, mockery, or cry for action.  We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.   Rachel Mann is a priest, writer, and broadcaster.

In this episode of Grief Out Loud, we talk with death & grief care professional, educator, and cultural advocate Joél Simone, also known as The Grave Woman.  Joél shares the story behind a childhood drawing that declared her future as "the grave woman," and how that early curiosity about death grew into a lifelong vocation in funeral service, grief education, and cultural competency. Drawing from decades of experience, Joél reflects on the spiritual, cultural, and embodied dimensions of grief, including what she's learned by listening closely to families, children, and traditions that are too often overlooked.   Joél also talks about her work as founder of the Multicultural Death & Grief Care Academy, including immersive learning experiences that center history, ritual, land, and lineage. Throughout the conversation, she invites us to rethink what ritual looks like and how tending to culture can provide grounding and support for grief.  We discuss: How rituals - inherited and improvised - can be a form of medicine  What the funeral industry still needs to understand about serving Black and African American families  The importance of cultural humility, proactive learning, and not treating communities as monoliths  How children experience death and mourning from their literal, physical perspective and what adults often miss  The role of land, ancestry, and cultural preservation in grief, particularly within Gullah Geechee communities  Why culture itself can be a powerful container for grief and remembrance  Connect with Joél Simone: Website: www.thegravewoman.com The Multicultural Death & Grief Care Academy Workshops & Classes The Death & Grief Talk Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/thegravewoman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegravewoman/

Chris presents a combination of actions or attitudes that he doesn't often discuss together on OCD Straight Talk. Ritual prevention is the key to managing the system; and that means tolerance. But tolerance with patience is a strong offense.

In this episode of The Bigspin, I sit down with Dan, founder and owner of The Ritual, a concrete fingerboard obstacle brand based out of Maine.Dan is a lifelong skater whose early days skating the streets helped shape his raw, functional approach to design. He's been fingerboarding since he was six years old, and while he may be newer to the concrete obstacle scene, his work is already standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the most established makers out there.We talk about his journey from street skating to fingerboarding, how The Ritual's signature style came to life, and why staying humble and authentic matters as the brand continues to grow. Dan also shares what it means to be selected as a featured vendor at Fingerboard Con this April, a huge milestone for The Ritual and proof that his hard work is paying off.Go check out The Ritual!https://www.instagram.com/ritualism.1/Support the show

What if the root of your anxiety or self-doubt is a spiritual wound you didn't even know you had? In this episode, Taylor Paige joins Krista to break down the “spirit wound”—why so many of us feel disconnected from our own intuitive power + how reclaiming it changes everything.  Taylor Paige, a sought-after evidential medium, shares her personal journey—from crippling fear of the dark to leading packed workshops that empower women to contact their guides directly. Plus, learn why you might fear your own intuitive gifts, from media programming to religion, and more.  Taylor teaches practical, life-changing tools for releasing fear, healing old narratives, and stepping boldly into your purpose. This conversation is your permission slip to ditch external validation + ignite your spiritual self-trust—so you can manifest abundance, clarity, and true peace within. We also talk about: The psychology behind why we fear the dark + how it blocks your power   How Hollywood + media reinforce spiritual disempowerment   Overcoming religious trauma + rewriting your story with God   What evidence-based mediumship actually looks like (hint: it's not “storytime”)   The myth of “evil spirits” + how to genuinely feel safe   Establishing boundaries with energies + why your intuition is the ultimate guide   Tangible steps to heal from anxiety, religious programming, and lack of self-trust   “Sitting in the Power”—a transformative practice for connecting with Spirit   How energetic sensitivity is actually a sign of spiritual gifts, not weakness   Connecting with your spirit guides (plus what everyone gets wrong about them)  Resources: You can connect with Taylor on Instagram @angels_and_amethyst, and find her offerings on her website www.angelsandamethyst.com.

It's Ash Wednesday, the Antarctica Eclipse timeline for military action in Iran just may be coming to fruition, and I have been thinking about what I need to give up for good, not just the next forty days of Lent. It also happens to a day that I reflect on many of the things I would like to keep around forever. At 1AM this morning, it was officially 20 Years since the first time we went live at my college radio station, and so aside from all of the reels and mixed news we can do tonight I would love to leave the lines open for people's most memory-triggering questions about the last two decades of talk.

From first dates to long-married couples who've forgotten how to talk, they reflect on what they've learned about human connection from a lifetime in the dining room.The ConversationAuthor and food historian Bunny Crumpacker talks about The Sex Life of Food: When Body and Soul Meet to Eat, a wide-ranging exploration of how food symbolism, cultural taboos, and dining rituals intersect with sexuality and identity. The discussion moves from aphrodisiac myths and gendered foods to class signals, fast food culture, and the emotional meaning behind what and how we eat. Timestamps00:00 – Welcome to The Restaurant Guys01:50 – Banter: Romance, proposals, and restaurant observations08:35 – Bunny Crumpacker on the purpose of her book15:02 – Aphrodisiacs, an-aphrodesiacs and food symbolism17:43 – Class, culture, and how food defines us23:06 – Convenience foods, restaurant meals and home cooking32:22 – Wrap-up and final thoughtsBioBunny Crumpacker is a columnist, food historian, and the author of 7 books including The Sex Life of Food: When Body and Soul Meet to Eat, a cultural exploration of the relationship between eating, identity, and intimacy.InfoBunny's book: The Sex Life of Food: When Body and Soul Meet to EatFebruary 25 George Martinelli of Martinelli Wineryhttps://www.stageleft.com/event/22526-wine-dinner-w-george-martinelli-of-martinelli-winery/March 12 Anthony Beckman of Balletto Vineyardshttps://www.stageleft.com/event/31226-balleto-winemaker-dinner-w-anthony-beckman/Our Places Stage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/ Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/ Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/ To hear more about food, wine and the finer things in life:https://www.instagram.com/restaurantguyspodcast/https://www.facebook.com/restaurantguysReach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com**Become a Restaurant Guys Regular and get two bonus episodes per month, bonus content and Regulars Only events.**Click Below!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2401692/subscribe

I once heard a woman say that when her son was diagnosed with cancer, she knew she had to be impeccable with her self-care so she could show up as her best self. She needed to ensure her diet, sleep, and exercise fueled her with the bandwidth she needed. The state of the world is...a lot. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious, and that's why I've decided to make self-care the focus of the next few months. To help you come up with some practices that will give you the bandwidth you need. Self-care is one of the pillars of my life. I've learned that if I don't make it a habit, I tend to run myself into the ground. In the next few months, I'm going to go into detail about my self-care practices from skincare to diet/supplements to movement to time with friends, and hopefully you can pick up some nuggets and craft some self-care rituals of your own. In this episode I talk about how you can use brain science to create a skincare ritual you will want to stick with. As someone who didn't have a skincare practice until I was in my 40s, these are the steps I took to change my actions until they became a habit.Next Episodes Feb 26, 2026: [SELF-CARE] My AM Skin RitualMar 5, 2026: [SELF-CARE] My PM Skin RitualResources: -Easy ways to call your reps with scripts and numbers.

En los exorcismos mayores no hay improvisación. Cada objeto utilizado tiene un significado profundo, una historia inquietante y un propósito específico dentro del ritual. En este episodio exploramos las reliquias reales utilizadas por la Iglesia en exorcismos oficiales: el Ritual Romano, la medalla de San Benito, reliquias de santos, agua bendita con sal exorcizada y otros elementos que han sido considerados herramientas espirituales contra el mal. ¿Son simples símbolos? ¿O realmente tienen un papel activo dentro de los casos documentados? Analizaremos su origen histórico, su función litúrgica y los relatos más perturbadores relacionados con su uso. Prepárate para descubrir el lado más oscuro —y más estructurado— del ritual de expulsión. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the majestic kingdom of sleep where the heavens are transformed into a silken washhouse of torrential storms, the clouds are wrung dry by invisible hands while heinous blonde flamingos are carried off to a prison of unimaginable cruelty. As flocks of braying geese vanish and reappear as if by magic, I open my body into impossible splits and liquid arcs of dance so resplendent that the very air seems to blush at my elegance. Out of the ether appears Ana De Armas, her tender hand taking mine as we enter a fevered tango of devotion and spin, dipping low into miraculous splits before sharing a simple fruit cup; juicy grapes exchanged like a blessed sacrament. At the crest of this joyful chaos as our limousine runs out of gas, dawn intrudes with its blunt cruelty as I awake. Lily Tomlin laughs as I ache, my heart plunged into a deep despair by the knowledge that flight, fruit cups, and the beauty of the perfect split show their resplendence in a land that exists only when my eyes are closed.

What if your entire year could fit on one piece of paper? Jesse Itzler reveals how he designs his life around one massive annual challenge (his "misogi") plus six mini-adventures every other month to guarantee newness and kill routine. The conversation shifts to concrete frameworks, why Devon Lévesque red-marked half his calendar after identifying his five core values, how Jesse plans rewards to fuel harder work periods, and why "yes, and" energy might be the most underrated success factor nobody talks about.

Lauren Tomlin is a PRAYER WARRIOR which is why I called her for this series, because I wanted a friend to sit down with me and really talk about how to pray.  If you've ever wondered if God actually hears you when you pray or if you can trust what you hear from God when you pray, this conversation is for you. If you feel overwhelmed by all of the hard happening around us, we're going to talk about how to pray. If you've wondered how to discern what God's telling you, we're going there too. And if you just need a minute to sit with God, Lauren's going to lead us through a guided prayer at the very end. I don't want you to miss it.  . . . . Thank you to our sponsors!

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1321 CERN HUMAN SACRIFICE RITUAL: Real Blood Ceremony or Sick Hoax? Epstein Files Bring Shiva's Dark Dance Back to Life! The infamous 2016 CERN “human sacrifice” video—hooded figures staging a killing beneath the towering Shiva statue—is exploding again as Epstein files reignite distrust in elite networks. Real occult ritual caught on camera… or elaborate inside prank by the world's top physicists? On Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, Illuminati Watcher Isaac Weishaupt returns to dissect the footage frame-by-frame. Why does CERN keep a statue of the cosmic destroyer at its heart? Is the Large Hadron Collider's hunt for extra dimensions secretly mirroring ancient sacrifice myths? From staged theatrics to symbolic signaling, they reveal where cutting-edge science blurs into forbidden ritual—and why the public can't look away. GUEST: Isaac Weishaupt is the founder of IlluminatiWatcher.com, a top 5% Amazon author (The Dark Path), and the sharpest decoder of occult symbolism in pop culture and power structures. As host of the hit podcast Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture, he exposes hidden agendas in media, architecture, and elite institutions—from Illuminati infiltration to transhumanist rituals. A rational skeptic with a razor's edge, Isaac empowers audiences to see the symbols operating in plain sight, blending deep research with unfiltered insight into the forces shaping our reality.

Here is PART 2 of our episode with Lauren and Thomas Rhett Akins. If you haven't had a chance to listen to part 1, go back and do that first before you listen to this episode. I want you to get the full story of what God's been doing in their lives over the last year. They continue the story of moving their family to Uganda for 6 weeks. They were obedient in saying yes to God, and yet it was not the perfect trip tied up with a bow. There are still questions they have for God they may never get answers to, but I hope you'll listen for the thread of God's nearness through it all. You may not be sent to Africa for 6 weeks, but where do you see God continuing to ask you to trust Him even when it doesn't make sense? Where have you experienced His nearness when everything around you felt hard? Don't miss the conversation and processing we're going over on Substack this week either. I think the questions we're asking each day this week will really help you look for the places God's asking for obedience in your own life. You can find all of that spirituallystronger.com. If you have any questions from this episode drop them in the Q&A box on your Spotify app if you're a Spotify listener, or send them to us on instagram at @thatsoundsfunpodcast and we'll try to answer them there!  . . . .

But try telling to Michelle Smith and Dr. Lawrence Pizder, whose book Michelle Remembers was published in 1980 and IS STILL RUINING LIVES TO THIS DAY! The book was based on years of "therapy sessions" in which Michelle was regressed to her childhood and allegedly uncovered memories of horrendous abuse and torture at the hands of a Satanic Cult.
