‘Being born in America, feeling American, but having people treat me like I'm not.'Chi Chi Izundu speaks to Korean American actor Arden Cho, star of the hit Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, about her life and career. Cho is the voice of Rumi, a leading character who must come to terms with her own identity as part-human, part-demon.It's a duality that resonated powerfully with her, as the daughter of Korean immigrants who struggled for acceptance, and faced racism while growing up in America.Now, Korean culture is increasingly popular worldwide, and she has become a leading role model for Asian American children, the kind she says she lacked when she was young.And despite KPop Demon Hunters being crowned as Netflix's most-watched film ever, Cho warns that Asian-led film projects are still seen as a risk.

Hur undviker man att bli en icke-människa? Simon Sorgenfrei tar en tysk teolog, en persisk poet och en svensk baron till hjälp. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.På 1920-talet satt baronen Eric Hermelin i Lund och översatte Omar Khayyams dikter till svenska. I decennier hade han då levt ett kringflackande liv, som äventyrare och rumlare, i USA och England, i Indien och i Australien. Nu hade han blivit omyndigförklarad av sin familj och var därför inspärrad på Sankt Lars hospital där han fördrev tiden med att översätta persisk poesi och muslimsk mystik.Under åren på drift hade Hermelin utvecklat en aversion mot moralväktare och att han nu fått sin bror, nykterhetsivraren Josef, som förmyndare bidrog inte till att ändra hans inställning. Att översätta Omar Khayyam fungerade däremot som ett balsam. I den persiske fritänkarens verser fann han en åskådning som på ett kanske paradoxalt sätt var samtidigt förlåtande och uppbygglig.”Vet du vad helvetet sannerligen är?” frågade Khayyam retoriskt i en av dikterna. ”Helvetet på jorden är umgänge med icke-människor.” De muslimska mystikernas texter skyddade Eric Hermelin från helvetet. De fungerade som manualer i människoblivandets konst.Drygt ett hundra år tidigare, runt sekelskiftet 1800, slog den tyske romantikern Friedrich Schleiermacher igenom som radikal teolog med boken Om religionen. Den var menad som ett försvarstal riktat mot såväl de filosofer som ville låsa religionen vid tron på mirakulösa myter, som mot de teologer som reducerade mysteriet till stränga moralismer. Religion, menade Schleiermacher, är varken metafysik eller moral, utan i stället en ”känsla och smak för det oändliga”. Och denna känsla, menade han, har sin rot i ett direkt åskådande av universum. Känslan väcks i den omedelbara upplevelsen av att vara en del av, och att stå i absolut beroende till denna oändlighet.Kanske är det aldrig enklare att uppleva sig som en obetydligt liten men ändå intensivt levande del av det oändliga än under midvinternatten. Då är mörkret som djupast och då gnistrar stjärnorna över oss i sin outgrundliga förutsägbarhet. Det är den mest ursprungliga och universella av utsikter. ”Tänk att samma måne som lyser över mig här, kan blicka ner över Illinois och hitta dig där”, som Tom Waits sjunger i Shore Leave, sången om sjömannen som under en permission i Singapore trånar efter sin älskade hemma i USA. Samma måne blickade också ner över Omar Khayyam och Eric Hermelin, över dig och mig.Att samtidigt känna sig levande och obetydlig under stjärnhimlen är en ödmjukande och sublim känsla. Ödmjukande eftersom upplevelsen blottlägger vår litenhet; sublim eftersom den låter oss känna evighetens svindel i bröstet. Kanske är det vad Schleiermacher menade med ”känsla och smak för det oändliga”. Det är ett erfarande – mer än en åskådning i intellektuell bemärkelse – ett erfarande av våra livsbetingelser.Att vara människa är sannerligen inte alltid lätt. Grannkatten Ruth påminner mig om det då hon i vintermörkret kommer tassande över det smutsiga snötäcket för att stryka sig mot mina ben. Vad en katt känner när hon tittar upp mot Orions jagande hundar vet jag förstås inte, men hon tycks vara i världen med en annan självklarhet än mig. En katt föds till katt med instinkterna på plats. Vi människor måste arbeta på att bli mänskliga.Några år efter genomslaget med boken Om religionen, publicerade Schleiermacher en novell med titeln Julfirandet. I denna ville han undersöka vad som utgör kärnan i de då framväxande borgerliga traditioner som vi idag förknippar med julen. Att Jesus inte föddes vid juletid det visste man redan då. Först på trehundratalet bestämdes hans födelsedag till vintersolståndet. Då var solen som ett nyfött barn menade romarna, ett efterlängtat barn av ljus och växande värme som firades under högtiden saturnalia.Schleiermacher ansåg heller inte att det var några historiska fakta som firades i den vänliga salong där hans novell utspelar sig. I stället såg han julen som själva människoblivandets högtid.I den kristna mytologin låter Gud sig födas som ett litet ofärdigt barn, som en människa med allt vad det innebär av oro, grubbel, sorg och smärta. Det är en myt om hur den kosmiska ordningen, logos, blir till kött – och om hur människan sedan måste utveckla logos inom sig för att förverkliga sin mänsklighet. Vi känner igen motivet från olika kultursfärer.Platon menade att själen slits mellan två hästar. En som drar nedåt, mot begärens mörker och kaos – och en annan som strävar uppåt, mot ordning och ljus. Senare skulle Jalaluddin Rumi, en annan av de muslimska mystiker som Eric Hermelin satt på Sankt Lars och översatte, likna oss människor vid åsnor försedda med änglavingar. Han anspelade då på berättelsen om att Jesus, det köttvordna ordet, red in i Jerusalem på just en åsna. ”Den som kysser åsnans arsle, får aldrig känna Jesus milda andedräkt”, menade Rumi.I den romerska filosofin betecknade termen humanus inte bara någon som tillhörde den biologiska arten ”människa”, utan även någon som tillgodogjort sig vissa dygdeideal, som arbetat på sin mänsklighet. Detta lever vidare i vår förståelse av begreppen humanism och humanitet. Mänsklig är den, enligt Svenska Akademiens Ordbok, som tillhör det mänskliga släktet, och med detta följer att vi är ofullständiga. ”Gudarna gav oss brister, för att göra oss till människor”, säger Shakespeare i Antonius och Kleopatra. Men vi har också potential att bättra oss. Att vara mänsklig innebär också att vara ”hygglig”, att ha ”medkänsla” med våra medmänniskor och överseende med deras brister. Att vara omänsklig däremot, att vara en icke-människa i Omar Khayyams vokabulär, innebär enligt ordboken att sakna barmhärtighet, att vara grym, bestialisk och känslolös.”Att fela är mänskligt, att förlåta är gudomligt” lyder ett ordspråk som försöker fånga denna människoblivandets utvecklingsbana. Att vara mänsklig innebär att göra sig medveten om sina egna tillkortakommanden, samtidigt som man har överseende med andras.I midvinternatten omsluter det stora mörkret oss envar, som en påminnelse om den litenhet vi alla delar. Det erbjuder både känsla och smak för det oändliga perspektiv inför vilket både egna och andras brister och förtjänster bleknar bort. Just erfarenheten av att samma måne som ser ner på dig, ser ner på var och en av oss är kanske själva impulsen till människoblivande. ”Var inte en icke-människa” viskar den högt däruppifrån. ”Bidra inte till helvetet på jorden.”Simon Sorgenfreiprofessor i religionsvetenskapLitteraturFriedrich Schleiermacher: Julfirandet – ett samtal.

Poemas selecionados de Rumi.Rūmī (Jalal al-Din Rumi), também conhecido como Mawlana, (1207 - 1273), foi o maior místico sufi e poeta de língua persa a influenciar o pensamento e a literatura do mundo muçulmano.Rumi passou sua vida em Anatólia (atualmente Turquia), e era um adepto do sufismo, prática que consiste em cultivar uma relação direta e contínua com Deus, por intermédio de cânticos, músicas, orações e jejuns. Os ensinamentos de Rumi estão centrados no amor divino como o caminho para a união com Deus. Ele acreditava que o amor é a força universal que transcende a dualidade e dissolve o ego. Suas obras, como o Masnavi e o Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi, usam metáforas ricas e histórias para explorar temas de transformação espiritual, unidade e a busca pelo infinito. A dança dos dervixes rodopiantes, associada à tradição sufi, é inspirada em sua filosofia de transcendência.A importância de Rumi transcende os conceitos de nacionalidade e etnia. Sua presença é marcante na literatura persa, turca e na Ásia Central, mas seus poemas são amplamente conhecidos e traduzidos em vários idiomas, como nos Estados Unidos, onde ele é considerado “o poeta mais popular da América”.
Most of us think change means ripping everything up and “reinventing” ourselves.But what if life is less about reinvention… and more about quiet reorganisation?In this final episode of our Wheel of Life season, Bobby and Bridge turn the conversation back on themselves. After ten episodes with brilliant guexperts (Bridge is still not convinced) on health, joy, money, spirituality, community, purpose, love and relationships, they sit with the question:- What has actually shifted in our own lives?- Which parts of the wheel really matter right now?- And what happens when we stop chasing 10/10 in every segment? This isn't a neat summary of the season. It's two friends telling the truth about transition, ageing, vocation, burnout, blue-and-green places, asking for help (reluctantly), and the tiny practices that make everything else more possible. If you've ever filled in a Wheel of Life and thought, “Now what?”, this episode is your invitation to look again … more gently, more honestly, and with a lot more self-compassion. Bring a cuppa, bring your splat of a wheel, and maybe discover you're less “out of balance” than you think.

I came across a short but powerful (and truthful) post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) that reminds us all about something so meaningful. “If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.” - Rumi. What an amazing and encouraging statement to always take with us wherever we go! I was watching a new show, Boston Blue and in the recent episode, one of the main characters brought up this fact that he needed to simply keep showing up to listen to and be there for others. To me, that is exactly what this post is all about. You may be the light that you think may not be around. Just keep doing your best. Keep showing up for others. You will make a difference for sure, even if you can't see it. Thanks for listening.

I Am taking your pain right now.Your hurts,I Am carving them out, cutting them away,pruning you. Feel what's growing inside of you right now...Like a New Garden in the winter, a smile even though you're misperceiving Me as darkness,as drought. Open your eyes and look at The Field,"because it is already ripe with the harvest."*You see The Field as that familiar place. The place you closed those eyes on.And while it appears that nothing has changed, you have to feel what The Field has produced (t)here, what you can't see with those human eyes,what I Am seeing for you. I Am feeling It with you. You must feel Love as you look out at what looks unchanged.Nothing is the same.Nothing is the same.Nothing is the same.Say that until you hear it differently.Until you hear it rightly,This No-Thing is the same This Love is the same. God is always the sameand knowing this, celebrating this,worshiping this,nothing is the same. nothing was the same.#AllMe I love youI Am younikSupport the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings__________________________________________*John 4:35"THE MAN WHOTURNED WATER INTOWINE CAN ALSOTURN YOURSUFFERING INTO JOY."-@REFRESHED QUOTES"My heart wants to surrenderMy ego wants to planMy heart wants to beMy ego wants to growMy heart wants to listenMy ego wants to write" -@wordsonthepath"Now silence lets the one behind your eyes talk."

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 12/07/25 - Celebrating Buddha's Enlightenment, enjoy this talk of Hojin Sensei's in looking at Buddha's most important teaching —the story of his own journey to enlightenment. It is worth repeating as an essential guide for our own spiritual journey. In order to do this well we have to learn how to lean in. Rumi writes: You are the source of milk. Don't milk others! We have a channel into the ocean, Beg for that love expansion. Meditate on this” If we are willing, ability is given.
What if everything you built (the money, the status, the business success) left your heart completely empty? In this episode, Dane Maxwell, serial entrepreneur and founder of The Foundation and Paperless Pipeline, shares his raw journey from "3D success" to discovering his sacred calling. After launching more than a dozen businesses and achieving what most would call the dream (money, freedom, recognition), Dane found himself with a hollow heart. Through a prophetic message in a church, answered prayers, and divine signs, he reclaimed the gift he'd buried 10 years earlier: his voice and music. From training 2,000 students (including two billionaires) to singing improvised songs that help people take their most difficult actions, Dane's story reveals the difference between performing for validation and surrendering to become "a flute that the divine blows its breath through." He discusses spiritual hierarchy, the power of slowing down, and why being wanted by God matters more than being wanted by the world. Dane reveals why music is sacred (not about fame or sex), how four signs in one week confirmed his calling, and what it means to approach life from the inside out instead of outside in. [00:02:28] Meeting at Destiny Fest: A Three-Hour Conversation That Wouldn't End Kevin and Dane met at Giovanni Marsico's Destiny Fest in Toronto Sat at dinner table for hours after everyone else left Dane performed an entirely improvised musical piece on stage for 1,400 people Kevin's been connected to Gio for 14 years, watching the vision grow from a dinner conversation to nearly 2,000 attendees [00:05:45] The Philosophy: Greatness in the Moment Most people rehearse before presenting to 1,400 people Dane chose to "dangle by a string," the string of present-moment creation Believes the next evolution of events is not rehearsed but "moment oriented" "I wanted to be present with people instead of rehearsed" Magic happens when people are willing to risk unpreparedness [00:07:54] Current Mission: Music for Difficult Actions Creating songs that help people take the most difficult actions in their lives Actions that would dramatically improve their lives in 90 days Examples: losing weight, starting a business, going to the gym, writing a book, picking up a new hobby Not telling people what to think, singing pure possibility and inspiration into their hearts [00:13:40] The Problem: 3D Success with an Empty Heart Had all the external markers of success: money, time freedom, status, women "3D success," everything in the physical, three-dimensional world But his heart felt completely empty Realized he'd been "distracted by success" as a safe, socially acceptable way to avoid vulnerability Business felt safe; true connection and music felt vulnerable [00:15:06] How Men Are Stripped of Their Power "You make them believe that the outside world can make them happy" Make men believe worth is achievement, status, attention The world is designed to engineer us to strip us of our power Jesus had a donkey and white robe but was "beaming with power" External trappings (beautiful women, cars, homes) are an illusion when coming from a dissociated place [00:19:00] The Spiritual Hierarchy and Heart Pursuit Jesus's heart field could reportedly be felt from two miles away (average is 15-50 feet) Dane was raised Christian with teaching that "the heart is deceitful and wicked" Felt he couldn't trust his own heart, so wrapped it in external things Realized the teaching was "not being communicated or translated correctly" Started approaching life inside out instead of outside in [00:21:06] The Turning Point: Slowing Down and Hearing "Sing" Heart kept feeling empty despite business success Slowed down and heard the word "sing" Initial resistance: "I'm a six-foot-one 42-year-old white male, I don't look like a singer" Thought he was "such a broken man" that performing for others was the best he could do Admits: "When I say I don't know what I'm doing, it's very honest" [00:24:00] Teaching Wealth: The Karma of Money Taught 2,000 students how to build wealth Two billionaire students, one valued at $1 billion, one student exited for $500 million Half of students did very well, other half probably shouldn't have bought the program Friend Danielle LaPorte said people have their own "karma to sort out with money" [00:24:30] The Church Moment: Getting His Gift Back Age 31, attending Bethel Church (Holy Spirit-led church) Pastor stops mid-worship, points directly at him: "Son, I just got a message from God" "He didn't trust you with a gift, so he took it away. But he trusts you with it now, so he gave it back" Dane's hand went to his throat, realized it was his singing voice Had trained intensely for his first open mic at age 21 [00:28:20] Eleven Years of Fear and Teetering 11 years since that church moment Released four albums, done shows, played for 1,400 people But always "teetering around it" Wasn't sure if he was authentically interested or just trying to impress people Admitted fear: maybe doing it "to get laid" (common male conditioning around music) [00:29:00] The Week of Signs: Music Is Sacred Got hypnotherapy session to bring more freedom to singing During hypnosis, saw subconscious belief: "I'm just trying to do this to get laid" Sign #1: Massage therapist's hat said "MUSIC IS SACRED" Sign #2: Someone wrote "I hope you're doing music" Sign #3: On a business Zoom, someone private messaged "Hey, how's music?" Sign #4: Woman he used to date said "Obviously you're supposed to be doing music" [00:36:29] Rumi and Becoming a Flute for the Divine Quotes Rumi: "I am but a flute that the Christ blows its breath through" In spiritual hierarchy, highest level before God is Lord Christ Jesus was "Christed," fully surrendered mediator for Lord Christ Got off stage thinking "nobody got any flavor of me, I blew it" Heard hysterical laughter (maybe angels): "You were just an instrument for love" [00:39:40] The Mecca of Bliss Bob Dylan and Michael Jordan have "an extra sense of something else" That's spiritual connection coming through their work "That's the mecca, the mecca of bliss" Dissolve all sense of self, merge with Christ, allow God's love to flow through [00:40:20] Approaching Life Inside Out Doesn't have hot girlfriend, sexy car, amazing mansion anymore "Am I way happier than when I had any of that stuff? Does any of me want any of that stuff? Maybe if it's aligned" Not an ache because approaching life from inside out If something feels "authentic to my core," he'll get it Deep enough in his body now to not fool himself [00:41:40] The Vocal Cord Miracle and Feeling Unwanted Went to ear, nose, throat doctor after the church message Doctor put camera down his throat, looked at vocal cords "Dane, your vocal cords look pristine" The four signs made him "feel so wanted by God" Mother was concert-level flute player, listened to sophisticated music in the womb [00:46:20] Holy Spirit Working Through Connection Marcus Collier told Kevin: "This is the Holy Spirit working through you" Making introductions and connections is being a vessel When you allow it, you become more effective They want more of that feeling [00:49:36] Where to Find Dane and Final Message Instagram: @musicbydane (Music by Dane) Website: danemaxwell.com (book, businesses, principles) Encourages Christians: stay where you are, it's close to God Book recommendation: "The Great Work of Your Life" "May anybody who loves God the way they do continue to love God the way they do" KEY QUOTES "How do you strip men of their power? You make them believe that the outside world can make them happy. You make them believe that worth is an achievement. That worth is status, that worth is attention." - Dane Maxwell "What we're supposed to be doing with our life is evolving our consciousness to such a state that we can become a completely surrendered vessel for the divine love of God to flow through. That's the mecca, the mecca of bliss." - Dane Maxwell "I've felt so unwanted on the earth and in my life, and just such a deep degree of unwantedness, which was a product of the conditioning of the nineties, which is you have to be a certain way to be wanted." - Dane Maxwell "In Isaiah they say, and the Lord said, whom shall I send? And I said, here am I. Send me." - Isaiah (quoted by Dane) CONNECT WITH DANE MAXWELL

Vitamin D Cuts Recurrent Heart Attack Risk by 52% PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Kindness Sparks Gratitude — And Both Improve HealthThe podcast emphasizes that kindness triggers gratitude, and gratitude has measurable physiological benefits:* Reduced inflammation (lower CRP)* Calmer amygdala activity on fMRI* Lower heart rate and blood pressureKindness becomes a zero-cost, high-impact intervention for vitality.2. Gratitude Interventions Are Scientifically PowerfulDr. Mishra reviews research showing that even simple weekly gratitude exercises—such as writing about a meaningful person—result in:* Lower inflammatory biomarkers* Improved cardiovascular behaviors* Increased parasympathetic tone (more calm, less stress)3. Cultivating Closeness Is a Lifelong Vitality SkillCloseness is presented as a top predictor of longevity, more powerful than avoiding smoking or obesity. To cultivate it:* Practice “scary sharing” — listen deeply and be a bit vulnerable.* Build a “Vitality Squad” — four key friends supporting physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being.* Forgive to rebuild — forgiveness frees mental energy and strengthens relationships.4. Social Connection Requires Intentional EffortRelationships wither without attention. Dr. Mishra urges listeners to set social-connection goals the same way they set fitness goals—aiming for one or two meaningful interactions each week.5.

Can a demon-hunting K-pop girl group teach us about overcoming shame? KPop Demon Hunters delivers stunning fight choreography and original music while exploring how shame conceals itself, reproduces through hiding, and can only be conquered through radical self-acceptance. Matthew and returning guest AK_Ahab discuss why the hit song "Golden" comes in the middle rather than the end, how the film's highly produced sound mirrors the characters' manufactured personas, and what it means when protagonist Rumi must save herself without anyone's help.Questions We Discussed:Why does KPop Demon Hunters place its most uplifting song "Golden" in the middle of the narrative rather than as a triumphant finale?How does the film's production style—including auto-tuning and polish—serve as commentary on authenticity versus manufactured image?What does this movie reveal about shame as something that reproduces itself through concealment and can only be addressed through exposure?How does Rumi's climactic moment of self-acceptance work differently because no one comes to save her?What makes KPop Demon Hunters effective at integrating original music into its moral and narrative themes?**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

This week, we finally dive into the cultural behemoth that is K-Pop Demon Hunters—six months late and fully confused. We talk through how this extremely catchy, hyper-animated, wildly popular kids' movie managed to conquer 2025, even though it's… fine? We break down what works (the faces, the music, that glorious fat tiger), what doesn't (the pacing, the unearned romance, the baffling reconciliation), and why we're still not convinced it deserves the cultural chokehold it has. Plus, we catch up on everything we've been checking out lately—from doom metal to City Pop to WOJIA novels—and wonder how we went from Spider-Verse to this.Episode NotesWe kick things off with hard root beer, ingredient confusion, and the audacity of “beer, sugar, caramel color” as an ingredients list.Thanksgiving rant: we complain about Christmas invading everything earlier each year, praise gratitude as a practice, and call out the consumerist creep of “Black November.”Eden shares the saga of the family WhatsApp gratitude initiative and why performative gratefulness ain't it.New Year's resolutions? Terrible. A system designed to fail—except for gyms and planner companies.What We've Been Up ToEdenNot much… exhaustion + scrolling + arguing with Reddit.Reading more Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.Secretly going full Wuxia-pilled but not ready to talk yet.Deep in digital accessibility at work (contrast ratios forever).Listening almost exclusively to City Pop to summon 80s vibes.PeterHeavy music roundup:Shores of Null / Convocation split.A Sun of the Dying – Throne of Ashes.The Reticent – Please (mental-illness-theme concept album).1914 – Viribus Unitis, a blackened death metal concept album about WWI.Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Vol. 2, the lightest album of the three (which says something).Finished all seven Murderbot books and reflects on the genuinely human core beneath the action.Game updates:PowerWash Simulator 2 — massive improvements, more forgiving completion, soap freedom.Ball Pit (Ball×Pit) — breakout + roguelike + city builder; surprisingly great, Devolver-approved.

Sharing an episode of the No Small Endeavor podcast.These days, our culture is marked by political unrest, polarization and anxiety. Beauty and art feel like a luxury, or even a distraction.In a special series, No Small Endeavor is asking: What if art, beauty, and poetry are exactly what we need to face the crisis at hand? Can poetry help us protest, pray, lament, and even hope? Host Lee C. Camp talks to poets like Haleh Liza Gafori, a poet, musician, and acclaimed translator of the Persian poet Rumi; and Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, theologian, and host of Poetry Unbound. Their conversations evoke thoughtfulness about how to fight for beauty in the current culture, and how to make it through the fires of our time together.In this episode, Lee talks to Joy Harjo, a musician, author, and three-term U.S. Poet Laureate. Camp and Harjo explore how poetry can act as a form of justice, a practice of self-development, and a tiny experiment in healing.You can listen to No Small Endeavor at https://link.mgln.ai/goodlifeprojectWatch Jonathan's new TEDxBoulder Talk on YouTube now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zUAM-euiVI Hosted on Acast.

In this powerful episode, Thais Gibson and co-host Mike reveal the five biggest (and most unexpected) things that happen when you start sharing a home with someone who struggles with emotional closeness. From the retreat for space that often follows big steps forward, to fears of losing autonomy or conflict avoidance, this conversation dives deep into how dismissive avoidants process intimacy—and how you can build understanding, connection, and balance instead of frustration. Through personal stories and professional insight, Thais and Mike share practical strategies for communication, conflict resolution, and emotional safety—so you can navigate cohabitation with compassion and clarity. You'll Learn: The #1 reason dismissive avoidants retreat into their own space after moving in How to discuss space, boundaries, and routines before issues arise Why dismissive avoidants equate comfort with love (and how that affects dating effort) How to avoid the “roommate trap” and keep the spark alive The importance of acceptance and autonomy for both partners Why DAs often struggle with conflict, change, and vulnerability How to communicate needs without triggering shame or withdrawal Episode Breakdown: 00:00 – Intro & Why Moving In Can Trigger the Power Struggle Stage 03:16 – 1 — DAs Retreat to Their Own Space to Create Emotional Distance 07:16 – How to Navigate Space & Routine Discussions 09:16 – The Role of Acceptance & Allowing Autonomy 13:30 – 2 — How Cleanliness, Habits, & Personality Types Impact Living Together 17:10 – Creating Shared Routines and Avoiding Misunderstandings 21:31 – PDS 7-Day Free Trial & Membership Overview 22:36 – 3 — DAs Equate Comfort With Love (and Why It Leads to Complacency) 25:41 – Why You Should Always “Date” Your Partner 31:11 – 4 — Why DAs Feel Trapped or Pull Back Emotionally 35:28 – Communication Scripts for “Recharge Time” & Emotional Safety 43:29 – 5 — When Conflict Arises: How to Handle It Without Triggering Shutdown 47:18 – The Long-Term Benefits of Secure Co-Living 51:10 – Bonus: Acts of Service, Self-Consideration & Learning True Partnership 56:14 – Rumi's Quote on Growth & Healing in Relationships 59:09 – Final Reflections and Listener Tips Key Takeaway: When you understand a dismissive avoidant's wiring—fears of loss, shame, and autonomy—you can transform potential friction into deeper connection. Secure relationships aren't about avoiding conflict—they're about communicating through it.

Today, we're sharing an episode of the No Small Endeavor podcast. These days, our culture is marked by political unrest, polarization, and anxiety. Beauty and art feel like a luxury, or even a distraction. In a special series, No Small Endeavor is asking: What if art, beauty, and poetry are exactly what we need to face the crisis at hand? Can poetry help us protest, pray, lament, and even hope? Host Lee C. Camp talks to poets like Haleh Liza Gafori, a poet, musician, and acclaimed translator of the Persian poet Rumi; and Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, theologian, and host of Poetry Unbound. Their conversations evoke thoughtfulness about how to fight for beauty in the current culture, and how to make it through the fires of our time together. In this episode, Lee talks to Joy Harjo, a musician, author, and three-term U.S. Poet Laureate. Camp and Harjo explore how poetry can act as a form of justice, a practice of self-development, and a tiny experiment in healing. You can listen to No Small Endeavor here.
