On today's episode, we welcome Suman Desai, Founder and President of GLASSFX, a biotechnology-forward skincare brand built at the intersection of clinical science, Korean innovation, and modern consumer behavior. Before entering the beauty industry, Suman co-founded FLYBLACK, a private aviation company that challenged traditional luxury travel. But after spending four years inside South Korea's leading formulation labs, she became convinced that skincare was ready for its own disruption. That vision became GLASSFX—a clinically driven beauty brand designed to deliver high-performance results without the complexity of traditional skincare routines. Built with patented Korean technologies and advanced bioactive ingredients, GLASSFX is focused on creating products that perform like makeup, heal like medicine, and fit seamlessly into modern life. In this episode, Suman shares what she learned from working alongside some of Korea's top skincare innovators, why she believes the beauty industry has overcomplicated skincare, and how consumers are increasingly demanding fewer products with better results. We discuss the difference between real biotech innovation and marketing hype, how to build trust in one of the most crowded consumer categories, and why she believes the future of skincare will be defined by science-backed performance rather than endless routines. Suman also reflects on the lessons she carried from luxury aviation into beauty, the challenges of building a disruptive brand in a legacy industry, and the emerging trends she believes will reshape skincare over the next decade. A must-listen for founders, operators, beauty enthusiasts, and anyone interested in where science, technology, and consumer behavior are taking the future of skincare.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

What if the thing that broke your heart was actually the thing that set you free? In this episode on emotional healing, Krista sits down with Lindsey Schwartz, founder of Powerhouse Women®, to explore betrayal, heartbreak, and what it takes to rebuild your life when everything you thought was certain falls apart. Lindsey shares her journey of learning to trust herself again, healing from deep wounds, and navigating the identity shift that comes after loss. Together, they explore self-awareness, self-worth, and how painful experiences can become the catalyst for deeper purpose, authenticity, and transformation. From the financial + emotional fallout of betrayal to dating again after a 13-year marriage, Lindsey opens up about the messy, nonlinear process of healing. If you're navigating heartbreak, a major life transition, or learning to find yourself again, this conversation is for you. We also talk about: The financial + legal fallout that kept Lindsey “unhealed” How betrayal trauma made Lindsey question who she could trust The surprising role of Lindsey's childhood + religious upbringing Dating for the first time after a 13-year marriage Why rejection became an opportunity to fall more deeply in love with herself The pressure to share a perfectly healed version of yourself online Being seen in the messy seasons instead of waiting until you have it figured out Resources: Instagram: @Lindseymarieoffical Instagram: @Powerhouse_women Website: www.powerhousewomenevent.com Sponsors: Super | Start building your credit the easy way.

Stassi Schroeder is a bestselling author, podcast host and reality television personality returning to TV with her new series, House of Stassi, where she opens the door to life after Vanderpump Rules as a wife, mother, and entrepreneur. The new series follows her as she steps back into the spotlight while navigating marriage, motherhood, friendships, and the next chapter of her career. In this episode, Stassi and I get into the conversations women actually have behind closed doors. We talk about the beauty habits she'll never give up, the luxury products she thinks are worth every penny, the trends she wishes would disappear and the surprising moment she finally started feeling truly confident. She also shares how motherhood changed the way she sees herself, what wellness looks like in this season of life, her thoughts on peptides and EMS workouts and how she keeps her marriage “relationshippy”. Plus, we revisit reality TV fame, failure, confidence without alcohol and why she says her story was never meant to end with Vanderpump Rules. Tune into Stassi's show on Freeform or Hulu.

Motherhood didn't just change me—it completely redefined who I am and what truly fulfills me. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. I'm opening up about ambiguous grief, letting old versions of myself go, and learning to trust a season that looks nothing like the one before it. As I prepare to welcome my second child (yay!), I'm embracing the unknown again. We're talking about slowing down, redefining success, trusting the timing of your life, and honoring the version of you that's emerging—even if she doesn't look like who you used to be. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized my identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture—and redefining success How motherhood stripped away my performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

We're wrapping up my Hills rewatch series with the series finale and wow, this one got me. I'm breaking down what was really happening behind the scenes during the final episode, from the fake Europe storyline and my on-screen heartbreak over Brody to the relationship I was actually in at the time. I share what filming those emotional goodbye scenes was really like, why I was crying, and the hilarious reality of having my real-life boyfriend watching it all unfold from the sidelines.I also take you inside the making of The Hills' iconic final scene, reveal how the Paramount lot ending came together, and explain why I still think it's one of the smartest series finales ever. Plus, I reflect on the friendships, opportunities, and life-changing moments that came from both Laguna Beach and The Hills and why looking back at this chapter still makes me emotional all these years later.This episode is equal parts behind-the-scenes secrets, nostalgia, and a look back at the experience that helped shape the rest of my life.Foria: Now's the best time to try Foria because they're about to have their biggest sale of the year.

Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Ritual of Combat and Modern Delusions. Germanicusargues that for the Romans, war and ceremony were inextricably linked, using triumphs and gladiatorial spectacles to forge a shared identity between the people and the military. These rituals were "incarnations of the spirit of Rome" triumphing over "barbaric" enemies, providing a form of "ecstatic participatory" fulfillment. He notes a parallel in modern America, which uses "ecstatic vicarity" through high-tech war footage and video games to maintain a similar bond. However, he warns that the U.S. dangerously underestimates adversaries like Iran by viewing them as "barbarians" rather than a sophisticated, 2,500-year-old culture. He laments the loss of the "sobriety" that guided Cold War leadership—where the stakes of nuclear confrontation were understood—noting that current American policy reflects a "gods of war" complex born from the easy successes of the early 1990s. Gaius adds that this technological display creates a "fog of war" where the enemy's own capabilities and "vote" in the conflict are often ignored. (1)

Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Imperial Decay of the American Order. The discussion shifts to the deterioration of American institutions, which Germanicus claims are now indistinguishable from the 3rd-century Roman imperial system. He describes a "long unraveling" of the constitutional order where Congress has become "nothing" and the Supreme Court is forced to uphold basic tenets it wasn't designed to enforce. This "emperor system" is characterized by an executive branch that is increasingly detached from reality regarding global economic stability and military resources. Furthermore, he asserts that the political establishment is too corrupt to produce genuine leaders, resulting in "pygmies" who are incapable of challenging the prevailing delusions. He warns that the U.S. is at a historical "inflection point" similar to when the Roman Empire began to collapse after centuries of dominance, noting that current leaders risk a global "economic fault" or famine by pursuing unsustainable escalations in Eurasia.

You've probably seen Sara post about how she's obsessed with eating a specific brand of cookie dough. Today the founder and CEO of Doughy, Kelly Ramey, joins Oversubscribed to talk about her creation. The clean, six-ingredient cookie dough sold out at Erewhon within days of launch and you can now find Doughy in Whole Foods, Target, and Costco nationwide.Millions of pounds of cookie dough are sold each year but here's the incredible part: Kelly is still the only full-time employee.We get into how scrappy events and a manufacturing background prepared her for the chaos of building a food brand, why hundreds of failed recipes led her to cashews as the base ingredient, and the surprising origin story of the chocolate chip cookie itself. Kelly walks us through sourcing cashews from a farmer in Mozambique and maple syrup from Vermont, why she still hands out samples herself, and what it actually took to land the product in 2,300 stores nationwide. If you've ever wondered what it means to "bleed" for your company, this is it.// MORE FROM DOUGHY //You can purchase Doughy at eatdoughy.com or at Whole Food, Target, Erewhon, and Costco.Follow @eatdoughy on Instagram and @doughy on TikTok.// SPONSORS // Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual dot com slash FOSTER.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, devoted wife, content creator, podcaster, published writer and author, IT extraordinaire, and an remarkable woman turning her powerful testimony into a masterpiece of redemption: AngelA little bit about Angel and what you can expect to hear about on today's episode:When most people look back on their childhood, they are flooded with tender memories. Those recollections feel like a gentle melody of innocence and love. For Angel, the melody was shattered before it could begin. Instead of fireflies and hugs, she remembers being a sad, terrified little girl shoved into cages, ritually abused in unspeakable ways, and forced to fight for her life in complete terror for thirteen relentless years. That is the childhood she carries. Yet from those depths of engineered darkness, Angel has risen as a living testament to the power of faith, resilience, and divine intervention.Born in 1996 into the ancient Reynolds bloodline, Angel's very existence was no accident. Her birth had been meticulously planned for over a century. Her maternal grandmother (a Reynolds) and step-grandfather were deeply embedded in high-level Rosicrucianism. While Angel's own parents were not occult practitioners, the bloodline's legacy reached her through her grandparents. Her distant cousin Nathan Reynolds has courageously shared parallel truths from the same volatile lineage on this very podcast. Angel's story stands unique: the occult did not come through her immediate parents, but through carefully orchestrated generational programming and military ties.Her birth itself unfolded under a strange and orchestrated shadow. As her mother went into labor and her father was struck with a severe, mysterious flu, her grandmother was the first to hold the newborn. In that moment, Angel was initiated into the occult. Soon after, doctors aligned with the same dark network extracted her DNA. She was cloned as an infant, switched out in a horrifying process that left physical evidence in her body. Her parents unknowingly took home the clone and raised it with flashes of what seemed like a normal childhood. The real Angel remained in captivity—first in her grandparents' basement, then transferred at around age six or seven to an underground military base where she would endure the next seven years.For years, Angel's memories were limited to scattered flashes from the clone's life above ground. Then at around age twenty-five, the programming began to fracture. Confusion, deceptive visions she mistook for “signs from God,” and relentless torment descended—she believed she was not fully human, that she was on a messianic mission, and that demons were raping and burning her alive every night. She was lost in deception.But God was not finished. What worked was a raw, relational breakthrough with Jesus. She saw Him as broken-hearted and righteously angry over her suffering. That vision dissolved years of resentment toward God and brought profound healing.Today, Angel lives in glorious freedom. She works successfully in IT, her intellect sharp and remarkable. She cherishes simple joys—Sanrio characters, time with her devoted husband and dogs, and caring for her body. Through her podcast Angel's Journey, her voice rings out like a powerful, attention-grabbing anthem of truth—unfiltered, compassionate, and full of hope. She speaks openly about satanic ritual abuse, underground captivity, the supernatural realm, cults, and the conspiracies that once held her captive, always pointing listeners toward the redemptive love of Christ.Angel stands as an extraordinary figure of resilience and faith. Her story moves hearts to tears and then lifts them in awe. It proves that no pit is too deep, no programming too strong, and no bloodline too cursed for the light of Christ to penetrate and redeem. She inspires survivors everywhere: healing is possible. Freedom is real. And chains can be broken. Angel is not defined by the cages or the darkness. She is defined by the light she now carries and freely gives. Her courage, her voice, and her unwavering stand make her a beacon of hope and an inspiration to all who hear her testimony. Her journey continues to set captives free—one testimony, one prayer, one beautiful day at a time. CONNECT WITH ANGEL: YouTube: @AngelsJourneyPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@angelsjourney1.0

Most of us live inside linear, scheduled time. Our culture measures every minute and asks us to manage time as if it were money. But our ancestors lived by different rhythms. They knew time as cyclical, sacred, and alive.I've been on a journey of rewilding my own relationship with time. The Celtic Wheel of the Year and the Celtic Lunar Tree have helped me honor seasonal and lunar rhythms. In 2024, my mentor introduced me to the Mayan calendar, which deepened this path even further by giving me not just a seasonal or lunar energy to attune to, but a daily one.Unlike astrology, which can feel overwhelming with so many moving parts, the Mayan calendar offers a simple yet profound way to attune to the quality of time every single day.The Mayan Sacred Calendar repeats in predictable cycles through twenty nawales, or archetypal energies. These patterns invite us to notice synchronicities, shift our awareness, and experience life through Kairos time, mythic time that stretches and breathes, rather than only Kronos time, the linear time of calendars and clocks.In this replay of a gathering of the Wild Wellness Women's Circle, guest expert Diana Paez walks us through:The Mayan calendar as a living system: how cyclical time repeats in archetypal patternsAn introduction to the nawales: the twenty archetypes you will meet again and again as companions on your pathYour Mayan birth chart: how to begin exploring your unique essence through the quality of time you were born intoA rewilding of your relationship to time: moving from productivity-driven Kronos time into the spacious, sacred experience of Kairos timeThis is not just a lecture. It's a circle. You'll get to listen, learn, reflect, and sense how this ancient wisdom resonates in your Life.Ever since I started walking with the Mayan calendar, it has deepened my connection to my Intuition and helped me understand even more how Nature, Time, and Love want to speak to us each day.

A child's mutilated torso surfaced from the Thames near Shakespeare's Globe in 2001, and more than two decades later no one has been convicted of killing the boy investigators could only call Adam.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TorsoInTheThamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3h6yrmk5FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most people, when they think of the end of their lives, want to feel that they have accomplished something of significance. To leave a lasting legacy. But it is much more rare for someone to accomplish something significant – after they are dead! (Done By The Dead) *** Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton was a pillar of society in Baltimore, Maryland in the late 1800s. That is, until she was accused of murdering General William Scott Ketchum. (The Baltimore Borgia) *** For every legitimate and fascinating find by geologists, there seems to be a fraudulent find somewhere else trying to fool the masses. This has been a problem since geology became a thing – and one of the most fascinating of these true tales is the one about Baringer's Lying Stones. (The Lying Stones) *** A strange, ape-like creature with glowing eyes in England might really be, as some believe, a specter of the night. (Man-Monkey of the Night) *** It's hard to understand how human sacrifice has ever been a reality in any point in history – but what if you were to learn that evidence of it showed up in London, England… in 2001? (Torso In The River) *** A would-be geisha murders her lover… but the events leading up to and during the death make for a fascinatingly dark story. (The Murderess Geisha) *** When it comes to spectral animals, we're more than familiar with black dogs or hell hounds, ghostly cats, horses carrying a headed or headless phantom, even a ghost bear rumored to haunt the Tower of London… but have you ever heard of the American Southwest's ghost camels?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from ghost camels haunting the Arizona desert to corpses that kept making history after death, a Baltimore poisoning that gripped a courtroom for weeks, a professor fooled by carved stones, a child's murder in the Thames that London police have never solved, a Tokyo geisha who killed the man she loved, and a glowing-eyed creature on an English canal bridge.It opens in the American southwest, where the U.S. War Department imported some seventy-two camels in 1857 to haul supplies, only to turn the animals loose in the desert when the Civil War broke out and the soldiers tired of their foul temper and habit of spooking horses. Wild camels roamed Arizona for decades afterward, and one became legend as the Red Ghost — a beast blamed for trampling a woman to death in 1883 and later seen carrying a dead man lashed to its back, a rider who eventually decayed until a human skull dropped from the saddle in front of a group of startled prospectors. An Arizona farmer finally shot the animal in 1893, still wearing the leather straps that had held its corpse rider in place.From there the episode turns to figures who kept shaping the world after they died. A gang of Chicago counterfeiters led by "Big Jim" Kennally plotted in 1876 to steal Abraham Lincoln's body from his Springfield tomb and ransom it for a jailed engraver, foiled by a Secret Service informant working for the very agency Lincoln himself had signed into existence. A grave robber broke into George Washington's crypt at Mount Vernon in 1830 hunting the president's skull and made off with the wrong one. The British philosopher Jeremy Bentham left instructions to have his body dissected and mummified, and it sits on display at University College London to this day. And in the ninth century Pope Stephen VI dug up his predecessor Formosus, dressed the rotting corpse in papal vestments, propped it up for trial, found it guilty, and had it thrown into the Tiber.Next comes Baltimore in 1871, where Elizabeth Wharton, a respected society widow, hosted General William Scott Ketchum in her home on Hamilton Place until he fell suddenly ill and died with twenty grains of tartar emetic in his stomach — fifteen is enough to kill. Police discovered she had bought sixty grains days earlier, and a financial advisor named Eugene Van Ness nearly died the same way after she served him a drink. Her forty-two-day poison trial in Annapolis exhausted the medical and chemical experts of the day, and after deliberating through the night the jury acquitted her of murder.The episode then crosses to Germany, where Johann Beringer, a celebrated professor at the University of Würzburg, spent 1725 collecting strange carved stones dug up on Mount Eibelstadt by teenage boys he had hired — figures of birds, lizards, comets, and the name of God rendered in Hebrew. Convinced they were the handiwork of God himself, he published a book on them called the Lithographiae Wirceburgensis, only to learn the nearly two thousand stones had been planted by two envious colleagues, J. Ignatz Roderick and Johann Georg von Eckhart, who thought him an arrogant know-it-all and wanted to humble him.From an academic hoax the episode moves to an unsolved horror. On September 21st, 2001, a child's headless, limbless torso surfaced from the Thames near the Globe Theatre, wrapped in orange cloth, and London's Metropolitan Police could give the boy no name but Adam. Forensic analysis of poison and minerals in his remains traced him to the Benin region of Nigeria and showed he had been paralyzed and drained of blood in what investigators believed was a muti ritual killing. Nelson Mandela made an international appeal for information, and traffickers including Kingsley Ojo and a caregiver named Joyce Osagiede were investigated, but no one has ever been convicted and the boy's true identity has never been confirmed.The episode carries that darkness into 1936 Tokyo, where Sada Abe strangled her lover Kichizo Ishida in an inn after a days-long affair, then took a kitchen knife to his body and carried a severed part of him away in her handbag. Her capture two days later set off a national obsession the papers called "Sada mania," and her testimony about killing the man she refused to share became a bestseller in a country where such candor was scandalous. She was sentenced to six years, served her time as a model prisoner, and vanished from public life sometime after 1970.The episode closes on a cold English night in January 1879, when a furniture hauler crossing Bridge 39 over the Shropshire Union Canal near the village of Ranton was charged by a shaggy, ape-like creature with glowing eyes that leapt onto his cart and terrified his horse. When he swung his whip at the thing, the lash passed straight through its body, and the creature bolted down toward the canal and vanished. The folklorist Charlotte Burne later learned from the village constable that the sightings had begun only days after a man drowned in that same canal, in a place where people believed a violent death could send someone back in the shape of a beast.

Seit dem Tod von Queen Elizabeth II. zeigt sich das britische Königshaus nahbarer, persönlicher und weniger entrückt. König Charles zapft Bier im Pub, Camilla tritt mit ihren Hunden auf, William und Catherine gewähren bewusst natürlichere Einblicke in ihr Familienleben. Doch die neue Nähe wirft eine grundsätzliche Frage auf: Wie normal darf eine Monarchie werden, deren Wirkung seit Jahrhunderten auf Distanz, Ritual und außergewöhnlichen Bildern beruht? In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best spricht Alexander-Klaus Stecher mit dem Journalisten und Adelsexperten Andy Englert über die Strahlkraft der Krone nach der Queen. Alexander vermisst die großen Royal-Übertragungen im deutschen Fernsehen und fragt: Hat das Interesse am Königshaus nachgelassen? Fehlen die großen Anlässe? Oder haben sich vor allem die Medien und ihre Prioritäten verändert? Trooping the Colour zeigt, dass es dem Königshaus keineswegs an Pomp und Tradition fehlt. Die historische Militärparade bringt bis heute Uniformen, Kutschen, königliches Zeremoniell und die Royal Family auf den Balkon des Buckingham Palace. Die Bilder existieren weiterhin. Doch erreichen sie außerhalb Großbritanniens noch dieselbe Aufmerksamkeit wie zu Lebzeiten der Queen? Auch aktuelle Royal-Schlagzeilen kommen auf den Prüfstand: Was ist an Berichten über angebliche Spannungen zwischen König Charles und Prinz William tatsächlich dran? Wie tief ist der Bruch mit Harry? Und was lässt sich über das Leben von Harry und Meghan in Kalifornien, ihre hohen Kosten und ihre wirtschaftliche Zukunft seriös sagen? Im Zentrum steht eine Institution, die zugleich nahbar und unantastbar, modern und traditionsbewusst sein muss. Denn möglicherweise liegt die größte Herausforderung des britischen Königshauses nicht in seinen Skandalen, sondern in der Frage, wie es seinen Zauber ohne die Queen bewahrt.

A mercenary raids an asylum to film a cult. A cursed man awakens to humiliation and dark magic. Four tales of demonic possession, occult rituals, and vampire mythology—expertly narrated with dark comedy and spine-tingling twists.

The history of rock and roll is written in more than just ink and vinyl—some say it's written in blood, ritual, and ancient pacts. From the dusty crossroads of the Mississippi Delta to the drug-fueled paranoia of the Hollywood Hills, the connection between the music industry and the occult is deeper than most dare to admit.In this deep-dive exploration, we peel back the velvet curtain to examine 10 of the most chilling and documented conspiracies that bridge the gap between high art and high strangeness. We aren't just talking about rumors; we're looking at the factual intersections of legendary musicians and the "Black Arts."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

This week on America's Podcast, Marc is joined by family member Tim Wirasnik and a familiar voice who's basically already a co-host, Andy Rodriguez! (Officially, that title wouldn't come for a few more episodes, but let's be honest… he already earned it.) This week we tackle Testament's The Ritual and ask the question: Is it a true metal classic, or is it… Disney Metal? Yeah, we went there! The debate gets spirited as we break down the album, its place in Testament's catalog, and whether it still holds up today. Along the way, we take a side trip into an interesting discussion about how Metallica helped shape and grow heavy metal, but that's all we're giving away. No more spoilers—you'll have to listen to hear the rest! Tracks of the Week:

What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? In this conversation with high-level wealth strategist Elizabeth Ralph, we're exploring why wealth might be less about working harder and more about the energy, beliefs, and patterns shaping your relationship with abundance. We explore the fears, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck in scarcity, why money isn't linear, and what it means to create wealth from a place of trust instead of control. If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, wondered why money feels so emotionally charged, or felt like you're constantly trying to "figure it all out," this episode is for you. Get ready to rethink abundance + open yourself to a completely new way of relating to wealth. We also talk about: Why conscious women need to participate in wealth The connection between self-worth + net worth The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in scarcity The energetics of abundance + effortless wealth Why personal development can become another form of ego The difference between control + trust in manifestation How social media impacts our relationship with money The real meaning of legacy + legacy wealth How to create abundance by becoming, not by doing Resources: Get one free month of SI Club at: https://myrootabl.com/r/ezmSidp0?rootabl=almost30podcast Website: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethralph/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elizabeth_Ralph Sponsors: The Absorption Company | Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

Do you struggle to shut your brain off at the end of the workday? If you're a solopreneur working from home, you know the feeling...the laptop closes, but the mental tabs stay open. That one unanswered email. That task you're not sure you finished. That phrasing you second-guessed.In this episode, Carly and Joe dig into why solopreneurs struggle to detach more than anyone, from the missing "boss" who signals the day is over to the always-on myth that equates availability with success. Carly shares the memory of a dad who worked 40+ years and was never once seen working at home, and asks how any of us can recreate that boundary from a home office.Together they walk through building a personal shutdown ritual, including:The brain dump to clear loose tasks from your headThe tomorrow list so your brain stops rehearsing overnightA two-minute review to close the day psychologicallyPhysical and mental transition cues that signal "work is over"The parking lot technique for intrusive thoughts during family timePlus, your challenge for the week: design your own three-to-five-step shutdown ritual and try it for five workdays.Because nobody reaches the end of their life wishing they'd answered one more email.Enjoy the episode?

Hello goddesses! The kitchen is so much more than a place where meals are prepared—it's a place where energy, creativity, and nourishment come together. Through my Kitchen Goddess philosophy, I've come to see cooking as a form of self-care and a beautiful daily ritual. In this episode, we'll explore how the food we prepare, the intentions we set, and the energy we bring into our kitchens can support our overall wellness. On this episode of Stiletto Heals, let's talk about creating nourishment for both the body and the soul.

“Connection is the foundation of effective leadership.” -Dr. Rosalind Cohen In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Dr. Rosalind Cohen to explore why authentic human connection is the foundation of effective leadership. In a world filled with engagement surveys, Dr. Roz makes the case that what people truly want at work is something much simpler: to feel seen, valued, and like they belong. If you've ever wondered why some workplace cultures thrive while others struggle, this conversation is for you. Using research and practical examples, Dr. Roz shares how leaders can create radically connected cultures where people feel safe, included, and inspired to do their best work. Inside This Episode: Engagement and Belonging Are Not the Same Thing: Dr. Roz unpacks the critical difference between employee engagement and belonging, explaining why participation alone isn't enough. True belonging happens when people genuinely feel seen, valued, and included. Why Perks Can't Replace Connection: Free snacks, flexible work policies, and office perks have their place—but they cannot substitute for authentic relationships. Dr. Roz explores why meaningful conversations remain the heart of strong workplace culture. Small Moments Create Big Culture Shifts: Culture isn't built during annual retreats alone. Dr. Roz shares how simple practices like coffee chats, intentional check-ins, and curiosity-driven conversations can strengthen trust and connection every day. Inclusive Leadership Is Built Through Behavior: Creating a connected culture requires more than mission statements and slogans. Dr. Roz discusses the leadership behaviors that foster psychological safety, including curiosity, thoughtful responses, and a "yes, and" mindset. Belonging Is a Leadership Strategy: Dr. Roz explains how intentional rituals, leadership habits, and human-centered communication create stronger teams and higher-performing organizations. What to Do Now: Schedule One Connection Conversation: Reach out to a colleague for a coffee chat or informal check-in with no agenda other than getting to know them better. Create a Ritual of Belonging: Introduce a simple team ritual, such as personal check-ins or moments of appreciation, to strengthen connection and trust. Remember That Culture Happens in Small Moments: Every interaction is an opportunity to build belonging. Notice how the everyday conversations you have shape the culture around you. About the Guest Dr. Rosalind Cohen is an organizational psychologist, speaker, researcher, and workplace culture strategist dedicated to helping organizations build more inclusive, connected, and human-centered workplaces. Dr. Roz specializes in employee belonging, engagement, and leadership development, partnering with leaders and organizations to create cultures where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. Through her research, consulting, and thought leadership, she challenges organizations to move beyond surface-level engagement efforts and intentionally cultivate cultures rooted in trust, inclusion, and authentic connection.

OMG, we're taking a trip back to the very beginning of Almost 30 to listen to our early episodes, and honestly...we can't believe we're here today. Listening back had us laughing, cringing, and getting emotional over the dreams we had, the women we were, and the people we thought we'd become. Some things changed completely, and some of the things we wanted most somehow found us in ways we never could've planned. This is a deeply personal episode, and if you've ever looked back at an old version of yourself and thought, "Wow, she had no idea what was coming," let this be your reminder that every version of you is worthy. Get ready to laugh ‘til your abs hurt ladies—we're heading down memory lane! We also talk about: Our first impressions of each other + the women we were 10 years ago The dreams we had for our future selves + the manifestations that came true How our voices, identities, and priorities have evolved over the years Why giving yourself permission to cringe is actually a sign of growth The dating stories + deal-breaker questions that had us crying laughing The friendship that became the foundation of Almost 30 Trusting your intuition + following what feels like a full-body yes Why every season of reinvention is preparing you for what's next Looking back at old versions of yourself with compassion instead of judgment The beauty of realizing your life unfolded even better than you planned Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik  Instagram: @itskrista  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

It is the night before the Celtic Festival of Beltane, an ancient May Day ritual where the otherworldly realm draws close. As Druids march, dark spirits rise in the shadows—only to be conquered by the brilliance of light. Young maidens hang festive boughs while blindfolded boys meet on the drumlins to eat charcoal-marked ember cakes. One unlucky fellow drawing the stained piece must leap the bonfire flames three times to satisfy ancient tradition. Thus begins The Eve of Beltane, a mesmerizing new play by today's guest, Coni Koepfinger (Playwright, Poet, & Yogi). Join host Marshall on Mister Radio as we explore this mystical production and dive deep into the creative process.

Send us Fan MailDeath can be one of the clearest teachers we have—but only if we stop treating it like a distant problem.In this episode, I'm joined by ritualist and death educator Shaina Garfield, founder of Leaves With You and one of the co-facilitators of the Beyond the Veil Retreat, to talk about green burial, grief, and the surprisingly life-giving practice of planning a sacred return to Earth.We begin with Shaina's nonlinear path into this work: being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in college, discovering holistic healing, and following a design question that led her to create her first macrame coffin. Shaina shares why handweaving a biodegradable coffin can become so much more than an environmentally conscious funeral option—it can be a communal ritual in which every knot holds prayers, beauty, love, and memory.From there, we explore Shaina's deeply personal essay, The Return to My Earth, and the moment she realized that healing was not about transcending or escaping her body. It was about coming home to it.We talk about letting go of the lives we thought we would have, learning to hold gratitude and longing at the same time, and recognizing when the search for healing becomes another way of searching for something wrong with us.Shaina shares how plant medicine ceremony has served as a form of threshold training, why the real ceremony begins after the ceremony, and why integration and physical action matter more than continually chasing the next cure, treatment, or spiritual breakthrough. She also offers guidance for anyone curious about connecting with guides, ritual, and the unseen—even if plant medicine is not part of their path.And because this is the Ode to Joy podcast, we make space for the joy woven through it all: dance breaks, trees, water, gardens, laughter, daily acts of offering, and the practices that help us stay openhearted while living with pain and uncertainty.If you are curious about death-positive living, end-of-life planning, ritual, chronic illness, green burial, or what it means to return fully to your body and the Earth, this conversation offers both grounding and permission.Subscribe to the podcast, share this episode with someone who may need it, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Three Shaina Truths1. The equation of becoming requires both giving away and receiving.Whenever we cross a threshold and become a new version of ourselves, something must be released. Letting go creates the space into which the next chapter can arrive.2. Medicine is not necessarily a cure—it can be a key.No teacher, ceremony, treatment, or spiritual practice can walk the path for us. The key may open something, but we are still responsible for building the door, walking through it, and integrating what we have learned into our everyday lives.3. Our death can become our final offering to the Earth.Preparing for our sacred return is not only about deciding what happens after we die. It asks us to consider what we are cultivating within our bodies, our relationships, and our lives right now.Standout Quotes from Shaina“It's important to witness what is witnessing you, because what we're seeking is also seeking us.”“The equation of becoming means having to give away in order to receive.”“The ceremony is great, but it's really the integration and the action that make it real.”“Plant medicine is not a cure—it's a key. I'm the one who has to build the door and walk through it.”“Death is a key to experiencing more joy.”“We're looking at our death only to inform our life here today.”“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.” —Friedrich NietzscheJournaling PromptsWhat am I being invited to give away so that I can receive what is trying to enter my life?Where has my desire to heal, grow, or improve quietly become a search for something wrong with me?What would it mean for me to return to my Earth—to my body, my needs, my limits, and the physical reality of my life?If I knew I were going to die tomorrow, what would feel complete—and what would I wish I had tended to more lovingly?How might I treat one ordinary act today—washing the dishes, preparing food, walking outside, or caring for my body—as an offering?What expectations about my life, my body, or the person I thought I would become am I ready to grieve and release?What would my own sacred return to Earth look and feel like? What does imagining it teach me about how I want to live now?Where is life already inviting me into the dance—and what keeps me from joining it?Resources MentionedShaina Garfield and Leaves With You⁠Read Shaina's essay, ⁠The Return to My Earth⁠Follow Leaves With You on InstagramLearn more about the Beyond the Veil RetreatExplore green burial and environmentally conscious end-of-life options in your local areaIn This EpisodeChronic illness as an initiation into healing, death work, and the EarthShaina's journey from industrial designer to ritualist and death educatorCreating biodegradable macrame coffinsWeaving prayers, memories, and love into a burial vesselReturning to the body after years of spiritual explorationWhen the healing journey becomes another form of self-rejectionHolding gratitude for the present while maintaining a vision for the futureThe equation of becomingLife as a series of thresholdsPlant medicine, responsibility, lineage, and discernmentWhy integration matters more than chasing spiritual experiencesConnecting with guides and the unseenLearning to live with death rather than treating it as a distant problemDance as prayer, embodiment, and connection to creationGreen burial as a physical and spiritual offeringUsing death to inform how we live todayShaina's offering at Beyond the VeilConnect with ShainaShaina Garfield is a ritualist, death educator, designer, and founder of Leaves With You.

Joel McHale reveals his secret 5am pre-flight ritual, the secret to his marriage, and a Dave Grohl story he's never told — plus, hidden in this hour, the confession that becomes Lowland Hum's new song "Tarantula" on Friday. | Podsongs #173"I'm Irish, so I could drink turpentine and it would be fine." — Joel McHaleHusband-and-wife folk duo Lowland Hum (Daniel and Lauren Goans) guest-host Podsongs from a friend's studio near their Virginia log cabin and interview comedian and actor Joel McHale (Community, The Soup, Animal Control, Crime Scene Kitchen, Scream 7). Inside this hour: the thing he drinks at 5am before every single flight, the reason he refuses to check a bag, the backstage Dave Grohl story he's never told anywhere, the one thing his wife never does that keeps the marriage working, what cobra actually tastes like, packing procrastination as an existential crisis, an animal that "in two months could kill us all" — and somewhere in all of it, the moment that became Lowland Hum's new single "Tarantula". Even Joel doesn't know which one. See if you can spot it before the song drops.New single "Tarantula" by Lowland Hum — out Friday 24 July 2026.

She Co-Founded Hims and Hers. Now She's Coming for Your Morning Routine. Ramon Vela sits down with Hilary Coles, Co-Founder & CEO of POCA and Co-Founder of Hims & Hers, for a warm and revealing conversation about the lessons learned scaling a billion-dollar brand, the gap in the low-sugar coffee and matcha category, and the deeply personal conviction behind her newest venture. * The suit story that changed everything. At 22, living at her mom's house on $30,000 a year, Hilary's boss quietly sent her to a private shopper and bought her two suits. It wasn't about the clothes. It was about being told, without words, that she belonged in the room. That moment shaped how she leads and how she shows up for others to this day. * What Hims and Hers taught her that no business school could. Building a category-defining brand from zero gave Hilary a front-row seat to what it really takes to scale with speed while staying true to the consumer. She brought every lesson into POCA. * The gap nobody was filling. Hilary wanted a low-sugar, great-tasting coffee and matcha option that didn't taste like a compromise. When she couldn't find one, she built it. POCA uses allulose and monk fruit for sweetness, adds a boost of fiber, and comes in flavors like vanilla, caramel, and pistachio. * Ritual is the product. POCA is not just a beverage. It is designed to become the warm cup of something special that anchors your morning and your day. Hilary talks about building a brand that people reach for not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to. * Watch closely toward summer and fall. New flavors and innovations are on the way as POCA continues to clean up the coffee and matcha aisle. Right now they are available at pickpoca.com and TikTok Shop. Join us in listening to this episode for a genuinely inspiring conversation about building with intention, leading with belief in others, and finding the white space hiding in a category everyone else overlooked.  Whether you are a founder, a wellness-minded consumer, or someone who just wants something sweet without the sugar crash, this one has something for you.    Visit: https://pickpoca.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

In 2004, a 64-year-old man is found bloody, beaten AND YES NAKED behind a dumpster in Richmond Hills, Georgia. He claimed complete and total amnesia. As in he said he had no idea whatsoever who he was, how he got there, or anything else. EXCEPT FOR EXACTLY 22 MEMORIES THAT END AT SOME POINT IN THE YEAR 1978. Ummmm, OK! And thus begins the journey of trying to solve the mystery of this man who SWEARS HE'S NOT AN AX MURDERER... which is exactly what an ax murderer would say.FAM!

Okay, girls... I've been wanting to have this conversation with you. I've been reflecting on this a lot lately, and I have a feeling some of you have been craving this too. I truly believe one of the greatest gifts in my life has been the women who have loved me, challenged me, and reminded me who I am. In this episode, I'm sharing why female friendships have become the most healing relationships I've ever experienced + what it takes to build them. We'll talk about healing the sister wound, letting go of comparison + competition, communicating with more intention, and creating friendships that allow you to grow. If you've been wondering why your friendships don't feel as fulfilling as you want them to, this conversation is for you.  We also talk about: Why being loved by other women can be so healing The text message that inspired this entire conversation Learning to trust women again Finding your "relational field" + attracting aligned friendships Why comparison + competition sabotage connection How Lindsey became my first example of a truly healthy friendship The importance of communicating instead of storing resentment Why every friendship has a different purpose + season How nervous system regulation creates more secure relationships Why you have to go first if you want deeper, more meaningful friendships Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Sponsors: Super | Start building your credit the easy way.

This week on the What We Said Podcast, Jaci and Chelsey are sharing listener submissions about wedding days that went up in flames. No, like literally—one of the weddings actually caught on fire. The rest are metaphorical: heinous comments from in-laws on the day of the ceremony, getting ostracized for not going into debt to attend a destination wedding, being fat-shamed by the bridal seamstress, and bridesmaids treating the wedding like Love Island. If you've got a wedding coming up, tune in for a few tips on how to keep your big day from crashing and burning. And if you don't have one coming up, you should still listen, you might just learn how not to ruin someone else's (looking at you MILs).!!!
