In the latest episode of Behind the Human, we delve into the remarkable journey of Sheleana Aiyana, founder of Rising Woman. From overcoming a challenging past marked by trauma and transformation, Sheleana has cultivated a global community of over 2.5 million followers dedicated to conscious relationships and spiritual growth.

Habits or Ritual? Have you ever wondered how much of your life is built on habits versus rituals, or vice versa? Well, you're in the right place! In this episode, I'm diving deep into the fascinating world of rituals and habits and how they play a role in our everyday lives. Do you remember Easter egg hunts as a kid? Even if Easter isn't your holiday, indulging in chocolate eggs is a shared ritual many of us cherish. It's these little traditions that give our lives a sprinkle of meaning. But why are rituals so crucial to us, and how can we harness their power to craft a better life? From ancient fertility rites to modern-day birthdays and weddings, rituals have always been about connecting people and creating memorable moments. They aren't just habits we mindlessly check off our to-do lists; they're meaningful ceremonies imbued with significance and emotion. Consider a wedding, filled with flowers, vows, and toasts or a birthday bash with cake and candles. These moments are ritualised to create depth and connection, contrasting with the simple habit of brushing your teeth or hitting snooze. In this lively chat, we explore the power of rituals, not as random acts, but as essential tools that get us through challenging times. Whether it's athletes getting in the zone with pre-game rituals or creating peace through meditation, these moments hold incredible power. Wondering how to embrace rituals in your life? Start by looking at your daily routines. What's a habit, and what can become a ritual with the right intention? How about adding a smile to your reflection every time you look in a mirror? If this resonates, share it with a friend or leave us a review. Let's explore the beauty of rituals together and see how they can transform our lives. Thanks for joining me, and until next time, take care! This is a great topic of conversation to explore further. Some of the references I use include Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, and his book, The Ritual Effect. I have not read it, but I have watched some of his videos on YouTube and he has guested on a few podcasts. Well worth checking out. .

Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult
What do ancient Viking symbols, a popular childhood video game, and modern witchcraft have in common? More than you think. In this eye-opening episode of Ex Psychic Saved, Jenn Nizza sits down with Ashleigh to uncover the truth about runes—what they are, how they're used in the occult, and why they're far from harmless alphabet tiles.Ashleigh shares her journey from discovering runes through the online game RuneScape as a fourth grader to eventually using them in ritual magic and divination. What started as “just a game” quickly spiraled into real-life spiritual darkness. Together, Jenn and Ashleigh expose how runes—steeped in Norse mythology and demonic deception—are being repackaged on social media and in games to lure the unsuspecting into dangerous practices.They also address a common argument from skeptics: Aren't runes just like casting lots in the Bible? The answer, rooted in Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit, might surprise you. This episode draws a sharp line between God's instruction and the enemy's imitation—shedding light on the spiritual cost of stepping outside of God's will.From blood rituals and binding spells to the viral rise of occult content on TikTok, Jenn and Ashleigh reveal the trajectory of these practices and why the consequences aren't just psychological—they're eternal. They also offer a bold warning for parents: Pay attention to what your children are watching, playing, and absorbing.You won't want to miss this powerful, unfiltered conversation about spiritual warfare, deception, and the saving power of Christ.

My guest today is my friend Samin Nosrat, the author of the bestselling, award-winning cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat, and the host and executive producer of the hit Netflix show that's based on it. Her second cookbook comes out this fall, and it's called Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share With People You Love. Back in March 2020, Samin and I started a podcast together called Home Cooking, where we answered people's anxious questions about cooking in the time of the pandemic and lockdown. And we're bringing that podcast back later this year. Samin is one of my closest friends. We've been there for each other for all of the most important moments of our lives over the years that we've known each other. But with a total lack of consideration to our friendship, it turns out Samin's had important moments in her life from before we met. But we're going to make up for lost time, and she's going to talk to me about one of them today.For more, visit songexploder.net/keychange.You can listen to "Untouchable Face" by Ani DiFranco here.
If you've been feeling stuck, heavy, or emotionally exhausted lately… sis, this one's for you.In this soul fire solo episode, I'm diving deep into what it actually takes to let go of the people, habits, and stories that are draining your energy. Maybe it's a toxic relationship. Maybe it's an old identity you've outgrown. Whatever it is—if it's not serving you, it's time to release it.
This week's Mental Man Monday features a raw and honest conversation between Izzy Baker and special guest Derek Alexander Scott, also known as DScott (@dscott._). Together, they unpack the intersection of manhood, media, cancel culture, and mental health.The episode opens with a recap of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast's Season 9 premiere, As a Man, You're Not Him (Yet). DScott shares how that episode hit deep, especially the parts about commitment issues, emotional stagnation, and men being stuck in cycles they never address. He reveals that he had to run it back twice and talks about how these topics come up constantly in his real-life circle. From there, the conversation shifts to the recent Jonathan Majors interview on Cam Newton's Funky Friday podcast.Izzy raises difficult questions. Was what Majors went through a humiliation ritual? Would the public reaction have been different if his accuser wasn't white? Can a man who's fallen still be trusted to lead? In the final segment, the episode takes on an even heavier tone with the story of Kyren Lacy, the LSU football player who tragically took his own life the night before his court date for a fatal hit-and-run.Izzy and DScott dive into the emotional weight of guilt, the silence so many young men live with, and the spiritual truth that healing requires more than just therapy. Sometimes, it requires God. This livestream isn't just conversation. It's a mental health check-in. It's a faith-based reflection on what men are going through when no one's watching. And it's a call for more real conversations like this—where accountability, healing, and hope meet.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

In episode 748: Alien Pregnancy Rituals, Tony is joined by researcher Nathaniel Gillis, who peels back the layers on a phenomenon darker and more complex than traditional demonology. Rooted in his own childhood encounter with a ghostly little girl, Nathaniel's journey has taken him deep into the realms of incubi case studies, ritual magick, and the disturbing mechanics of hybridization. He presents a chilling theory: certain entities are not just spiritual forces—they are part of a hidden, embodied species that self-replicates by inseminating human women, implanting their consciousness into fetuses, and harvesting them through a ritualistic cycle that mirrors ancient necromantic practices. As the conversation unfolds, Nathaniel connects these practices to historical demonology, the UFO phenomenon, and even modern government experiments involving meta-materials and ritual conjuring. With accounts of dream-state inseminations, sigils surfacing on skin, and beings who wear the faces of lost loved ones, this episode explores how the lines between magic, technology, and theology are far more blurred than we've been led to believe. Because according to Nathaniel, these aren't just hauntings or possessions—they're calculated, ritualistic acts of spiritual parasitism. And they're not coming. They're already here.

Together they explore AI as trickster, the sacredness of incompleteness, and what it means to build tools for ecological governance in a world unraveling.

Pastor Ed Rea Romans 4:1-25 | By Faith What makes us right with God? Is it rule-keeping? Rituals? Good behavior? In Romans 4, Paul gives a clear answer: we are justified by faith. Pastor Ed unpacks the lives of Abraham and David—flawed, broken men who were counted righteous not by works, but because they believed God. This message explores what it means to be forgiven, to have righteousness imputed by grace, and why salvation can never be earned. Whether you've failed big or just feel stuck, this is a message of hope and freedom: God loves you. Forgiveness is free. And it's yours for the asking.

In this rich episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty explores two remarkable books that celebrate family, identity, and connection. First, he sits down with author Nancy McCabe to discuss her powerful middle-grade novel, "Fires Burning Underground" - a book that delves deep into the complex world of teenage emotions and self-discovery. McCabe's novel isn't just another coming-of-age story. It's a nuanced exploration of a young girl's journey through grief, identity, and personal growth. Drawing from her own childhood experiences, McCabe crafts a narrative that speaks directly to the often-overlooked emotional landscape of pre-teens. The book tackles serious themes like dealing with loss, questioning family beliefs, and discovering one's creative identity - all through the eyes of a relatable young protagonist. What makes this conversation truly special is the raw honesty with which McCabe discusses teenage experiences. She challenges the common misconception that kids aren't dealing with profound emotional complexities. From navigating supernatural curiosities to processing the death of a peer, the book offers a compassionate look at the inner world of young teens. Parents and educators will find particular value in McCabe's approach. She emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for children to explore their emotions, ask questions, and embrace their creativity. The discussion highlights how literature can be a powerful tool for starting meaningful conversations about identity, grief, and personal growth. Jed and Nancy explore how middle-grade fiction can serve as a bridge between children's experiences and adult understanding. They discuss the pressures young people face, the importance of creativity, and the value of intergenerational connections. But the episode doesn't stop there. Jed also welcomes Pamela Ehrenberg to discuss her heartwarming picture book, "See You Soon, Spice Box" - a tender exploration of intergenerational connections and cultural traditions. Ehrenberg shares the beautiful story of Silas, a young boy who connects with his great-grandmother through video conferencing during the Jewish Habdalah ceremony, a ritual marking the end of the Sabbath. The book beautifully illustrates the power of family rituals and the importance of staying connected, even when physical distance separates loved ones. Ehrenberg highlights the significance of representing diverse family structures, including single-parent families, and creating stories that help children see themselves and others in literature. Her approach emphasizes the "in-between" moments of life - those transitional spaces where connection and understanding can flourish. Both conversations underscore a crucial message: children's literature is not just about entertainment, but about building empathy, understanding, and connection across generations and experiences.
May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox!

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Gabriela Embon. In this engaging conversation, Gabriela Embon, a life engineering coach and author of 'Becoming a Power Couple', shares her insights on building strong relationships. She discusses the importance of communication, self-work, and connection rituals in maintaining a thriving marriage. Gabriela emphasizes that relationships are foundational to our happiness and success, and she provides practical advice on how couples can navigate challenges and deepen their bond over time. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of love languages, the role of friendships, and the necessity of treating a marriage like a business partnership to achieve shared goals.Guest Bio:Gabriela Embon believes that a fulfilling adult life hinges on two essential components: an ideal career and a thriving primary relationship. After spending eight years as a chemical engineer, Gabriela transitioned into couples coaching, bringing with her a unique edge—combining the precision of engineering with deep insights into human potential. She inspires high achievers and organizations to succeed, shedding light on the strategies needed to engineer extraordinary careers and build resilient, fulfilling relationships both inside and outside the workplace. Takeaways:Relationships influence everything from our happiness to our professional success.Communication is key to feeling connected in a relationship.Women are self-sufficient and don't need men to work on themselves.The bigger the resistance to intimacy, the bigger the reward on the other side.It's possible to be happily married over time with effort and commitment.Rituals are essential for maintaining connection in a busy world.Understanding love languages can enhance relationship satisfaction.Men and women process information differently, impacting communication.Girlfriends provide essential support for women, but don't neglect the spouse connection.Treating a marriage like a business partnership can strengthen the bond.Connect with Gabriela:Website: https://gabrielaembon.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielaembon/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabriela.embonConnect with Sandee: Website: www.sandeesgarlata.comPodcast: www.happinesssolved.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/coachsandeesgarlataTwitter: www.twitter.com/sandeesgarlataInstagram: www.instagram.com/coachsandeesgarlata

implications of Isaiah 58. Lisa Lorenzo is the host of the "Faith with Friends" podcast, which focuses on discussions around faith, relationships, and spiritual growth. She brings engaging conversations to her audience, aiming to deepen their knowledge and connection to God. The guest has expertise in biblical analysis and spiritual development, providing thought-provoking commentary on religious texts and their implications for modern-day faith practices.Episode Summary:In this thought-provoking episode of "Faith with Friends," host Lisa Lorenzo welcomes listeners to engage in a heartfelt exploration of Isaiah 58, a chapter that challenges conventional religious rituals and invites believers into a more authentic worship experience. The episode calls listeners to examine their faith practices and to align their actions with God's heart, focusing on justice, mercy, and true compassion. This exploration is a call to rediscover divine promises when worship transcends mere performance.The transcript dissects Isaiah 58, offering a rich interpretation that juxtaposes religious formalism with genuine, transformative faith. The episode considers how acts of fasting and prayer must reflect an inner transformation rather than mere religious duty. Key themes such as social justice, historical context, and the prophetic insights of Isaiah are unpacked to reveal a deeper understanding of authentic worship. By focusing on verses 11 through 14, Lisa and the guest bring to light how living a life rooted in God's principles can lead to spiritual restoration, fulfillment, and joy.Key Takeaways:Isaiah 58 highlights the importance of aligning religious practices with God's call for justice, mercy, and true worship.Rituals like fasting and praying should reflect an inner transformation aimed at serving others, not just adherence to tradition.The promises of light, healing, and spiritual fulfillment await those who live out their faith with sincerity and love.Finding rest and joy in God requires a shift from performance-based religion to authentic, heartfelt worship.Notable Quotes:"Isaiah 58 invites us into this powerful realignment with God's heart.""Is your worship real? Is it changing how we live and how we love others?""God exposes the hypocrisy of outward religiosity that is disconnected from an inward transformation.""God calls his people to live out his heart for justice and mercy."
In this episode, Kehla welcomes Eileen March—speaker, mentor, podcast host, and slow-living witch—who guides women into deeper relationships with the cyclical energies of their bodies and the earth. Through intuitive coaching, ritual ceremony, and wild medicine energy healing, Eileen helps women rest without guilt, reclaim their power, and create intentional, sacred practices.

In this profound and powerfully honest episode, Andrew is joined by Traver Boehm—author, speaker, and founder of the Uncivilized Men's Movement. This raw and revealing conversation dives deep into the emotional and spiritual reality of being a man in today's world. Traver shares the personal story behind his movement, how heartbreak and disillusionment cracked him open, and why he's devoted his life to helping men reclaim both their primal power and emotional truth. Together, Andrew and Traver explore men's sensitivity, the cultural disbelief in men's inner lives, and the loneliness and pain so many carry silently. Traver also opens up about his experiences with darkness retreats—radical, solitary immersions into absolute darkness—and how they've initiated him into deeper self-understanding, ego death, and trust in his own soul's call. He offers a powerful challenge to men: Dare to feel. Dare to be fully human. This episode is a must-listen for any man who's ever felt alone in his pain… and for anyone who's ready to meet the courage that lives inside vulnerability. ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How Traver turned heartbreak into a mission to support men • Why emotional sensitivity is a masculine strength, not a weakness • The hidden epidemic of male emotional isolation—and how to break it • Why the phrase “I've never said this out loud before” changes everything • How to balance emotional expression with purpose, structure, and spine • The truth about numbness, avoidance, and the cost of living half-alive • What it's like to spend 28 (and soon 49) days in total darkness—and what that journey reveals • Why Traver believes something must break for a man to be reborn • How to cultivate a human experience that's raw, real, and relational • Two sentences every man needs to hear: “I believe you. I believe in you.” ⸻ Links & Resources: • https://www.instagram.com/traverboehm • The Uncivilized Nation • Preorder Traver's New Book: 28 Days in Darkness • Listen to Traver's Podcast: The Uncivilized Podcast ~~~ Becoming a Dominant Man is Andrew's flagship course for Dominant Men.
