"This Martyr was the daughter of most distinguished and noble parents named Philip and Claudia. Philip, a Prefect of Rome, moved to Alexandria with his family. In Alexandria, Eugenia had the occasion to learn the Christian Faith, in particular when she encountered the Epistles of Saint Paul, the reading of which filled her with compunction and showed her clearly the vanity of the world. Secretly taking two of her servants, Protas and Hyacinth, she departed from Alexandria by night. Disguised as a man, she called herself Eugene [Eugenios -ed.] while pretending to be a eunuch, and departed with her servants and took up the monastic life in a monastery of men. Her parents mourned for her, but could not find her. After Saint Eugenia had laboured for some time in the monastic life, a certain woman named Melanthia, thinking Eugene to be a monk, conceived lust and constrained Eugenia to comply with her desire; when Eugenia refused, Melanthia slandered Eugenia to the Prefect as having done insult to her honour. Eugenia was brought before the Prefect, her own father Philip, and revealed to him both that she was innocent of the accusations, and that she was his own daughter. Through this, Philip became a Christian; he was afterwards beheaded at Alexandria. Eugenia was taken back to Rome with Protas and Hyacinth. All three of them ended their life in martyrdom in the years of Commodus, who reigned from 180 to 192." (Great Horologion)
Are you the person everyone turns to because you'll "just handle it"? The one replying to emails at 11pm, rewriting your team's work, or silently resenting the people you keep rescuing? In this solo episode, Cathleen O'Sullivan tackles a behavior that's as exhausting as it is common: over-functioning in the name of being helpful. Cathleen reveals why constant helpfulness isn't kindness—it's a control strategy that stifles growth, creates dependency, and keeps you small. She shares the story of a leader who was praised for being dependable but passed over for promotion because she wasn't seen as visionary, and unpacks why always being the fixer means you're losing time, energy, and strategic thinking space. This punchy episode delivers four practical steps to shift from over-functioning to actual leadership: building awareness around guilt-driven yeses, replacing rescuing with coaching questions, using scripts that empower without abandoning, and practicing the useful discomfort of not jumping in. Your team doesn't need a hero. They need a leader. And you need your energy back. Episode Timeline: 00:01:01 Why being helpful is actually a curse 00:01:44 "It's just quicker if I do it"—the trap of over-functioning 00:03:43 The exhausted leader who felt like a parent to her team 00:04:35 How helpfulness backfires: creating dependency, not ownership 00:05:59 The people pleaser passed over for promotion 00:06:45 Step 1: Build awareness—am I doing work that's not mine? 00:08:19 Step 2: Replace rescuing with coaching questions 00:10:09 Step 3: The script for letting go without guilt 00:12:00 Step 4: Practice useful discomfort—let them struggle and grow 00:14:08 The truth: over-helpfulness is a control strategy in disguise 00:14:42 Your challenge: find one moment this week and don't jump in Key Takeaway: Step 1: Build Awareness—Notice When You're Over-Functioning Am I doing work that's not mine? Saying yes out of guilt? Secretly resentful? One leader kept rewriting her team's decks—not for quality, but out of fear of being judged. Keep asking "why" until you hit the root cause. Step 2: Replace Rescuing with Coaching Questions Don't jump into fix-it mode. Ask: "What have you tried? Where did you get stuck? What do you think could work?" Put ownership back in their hands. Let them think first—then see where they really get stuck. Step 3: Use a Script for Letting Go Without Guilt Try this: "I trust you to run with this. If you hit a wall, I'm here, but I know you've got this." Leadership isn't about perfection—it's about empowerment and growing together. Step 4: Practice Useful Discomfort—Let Them Struggle Wait 24 hours before replying. Let someone struggle without stepping in—they'll figure it out. Ask yourself: Am I fixing this to help, or to feel needed? Growth is messy. If you never let them wobble, they'll never walk on their own.

Solostaran Kanan led the Qualinesti Elves in a time of turbulent change in the Age of Despair. Let's learn more about the Speaker of the Sun. You can buy the Tales of the Lance boxed set here: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/16961/tales-of-the-lance-2e?affiliate_id=50797 https://youtu.be/NTBefMc3TUc Transcript Cold Open In the long shadow of the Cataclysm, when the world of Krynn still bled from divine wrath, the elves of Qualinesti turned inward. They did so under the rule of one man—Solostaran Kanan, Speaker of the Sun. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today I am going to talk about Solostaran Kanan, the Speaker of the Sun. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron, you can even pick up Dragonlance media using my affiliate links in the description below. I am referencing the Chronicles, the Tales of the Lance boxed set, and War of the lance sourcebook for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below! Discussion For more than three centuries, Solostaran ruled the Qualinesti during what mankind would later call the Age of Despair. It was a time without gods, without certainty, and without mercy. Though remembered as wise and fair, Solostaran was, above all else, a ruler shaped by loss—forced to choose survival over compassion, isolation over alliance, and duty over love. Solostaran was born into the royal family of Qualinesti, one of three brothers. Long before he ever wore the Medallion of the Sun, he was trained in governance, diplomacy, and restraint. He learned power slowly—deliberately—so that when it finally fell to him, he would not wield it rashly. His ascent to Speaker was not without challenge. In the unstable years following the Cataclysm, there were whispers—perhaps even open conflicts—that might have denied him the throne. Yet through the intervention of allies within the noble houses, Solostaran was confirmed as Speaker of the Sun, inheriting not just authority… but responsibility for a people traumatized by a broken world. And he ruled as a man who understood that burden all too well. Solostaran's earliest years as Speaker were marked by harsh but effective decrees. He withdrew elven forces from Pax Tharkas, abandoning joint defenses with dwarves. He refused involvement in the Dwarfgate War, even when envoys from the archmage Fistandantilus approached his borders. And most famously—most controversially—he banished all non-elves from Qualinesti, declaring the forest an inviolate homeland. To outsiders, these acts seemed cold… even cruel. But Solostaran believed something deeply and painfully simple: The elves could not save the world. He wept silently for Ansalon's refugees, but he believed humans—and the other races—had to solve their own problems. If Qualinesti bled for every failing of the world, there would soon be no elves left at all. On feast days and holy celebrations, Solostaran would climb alone to the top of the Tower of the Sun, ascending its endless stairs for reasons never recorded. Some say it was prayer. Others say penance. Perhaps it was simply a ruler reminding himself how high he stood—and how far he could fall. That belief—that distance was mercy—began to crack with the arrival of a child. In 248 AC, Solostaran's brother Kethrenan Kanan died. His widow arrived in Qualinost bearing terrible news: she had been assaulted by a human brigand… and she carried a child. Solostaran hoped—desperately—that the child was his brother's. It was not. The infant Tanthalas, later known as Tanis Half-Elven, was everything Solostaran feared: living proof of elven vulnerability, and a reminder of the outside world he had tried to shut away. By his own beliefs, Tanis should never have been allowed within Qualinesti. Yet Solostaran took him in. He raised the half-elf in his own household, watching as Tanis aged faster than elven children—outpacing Gilthanas and Laurana not in years, but in mortality. Through Tanis, Solostaran began to understand human fragility… and human courage. His compassion grew. But it never fully conquered his prejudice. Even as he loved Tanis, Solostaran struggled to see him as whole—once calling him “half of two things and all of nothing.” Decades later, another outsider would challenge Solostaran's certainties. In 288 AC, the Speaker took notice of finely wrought jewelry from a metalsmith in the human town of Solace. When he summoned the craftsman, Solostaran was surprised to find not a human—but a hill dwarf named Flint Fireforge. Flint became the first dwarf in over a century welcomed into Qualinesti. More than a smith, Flint became a friend—to Solostaran, and especially to Tanis. Through Flint, the Speaker was forced to confront a truth he had long avoided: wisdom, loyalty, and honor were not elven virtues alone. Yet even this growth came with limits. When Tanis was accused—falsely—of murdering Eld Ailea, Solostaran confined him and threatened exile as a dark elf. Only Flint's investigation uncovered the true traitor: Solostaran's own brother, Arelas Kanan. Tanis was freed. And soon after… he left. Secretly, Solostaran was relieved. With the rise of the Dragonarmies, Solostaran's long-feared reckoning arrived. The forest would not be spared. Recognizing that isolation had reached its end, Solostaran ordered preparations for exile. Scouts were sent across Abanasinia. A refuge was founded in Southern Ergoth—Qualimori—and a fleet was constructed in secret. In 351 AC, the elves fled Qualinesti just as the Red Dragonarmy closed in. For the first time in centuries, Solostaran ruled a people without a homeland. Exile broke what centuries of rule had hardened. His wife fell gravely ill and vanished from record. His daughter Laurana defied him—twice—first by leaving Qualinesti for Tanis, and later by stealing a Dragon Orb from his court to use against the Dragonarmies. When Laurana fled, Solostaran declared her dead to him—even at the Whitestone Council. Yet despite his bitterness, Solostaran committed elven forces to the war. He trusted increasingly in Porthios, his eldest son, granting him greater authority—perhaps knowing his own strength was fading. After the War of the Lance, Solostaran led his people home. But the forest he returned to was not the one he had left. Within three years, the Speaker of the Sun passed away, ending one of the longest reigns in elven history. He left behind a kingdom forever changed—and a son shaped by his example, and his failures. Solostaran Kanan was not a hero of battle. He was a guardian. A ruler who believed restraint was strength. A father who loved deeply—but imperfectly. A king who closed the gates to save his people… and lived long enough to see that walls cannot stop the world forever. Under his rule, Qualinesti survived the Age of Despair. And sometimes, survival is the hardest victory of all. Outro And that is all I have to say about Solostaran Kanan. What would you have done differently if you were in his shoes? Was his initial racial decisions what cemented their ultimate retreat and fall as a nation? And finally, since Tanis was the half-brother by marriage to Laurana, should they have gotten married? Leave a comment below.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to tackle the question Washington won't confront: what happens when a president's cognitive decline is visible but systematically rationalized by those around him. Wolff describes how Trump's inner circle shields alarming behavior as “Trump being Trump,” even as voters recognize familiar warning signs from their own families. He also explains the significance of Susie Wiles' long-standing relationship with Marco Rubio, and why her influence still shows in his disciplined, professional posture as Trump spirals. As Trump's grandiosity accelerates—from galloping speeches to branding national institutions—Coles asks why no one is willing to take the keys away, and what that silence means for the country.

High performance doesn't always equal fulfillment—and for many men, success at work hides chaos at home. In this episode, Mitchell Osmond breaks down why so many driven, high-achieving men feel disconnected in their marriages, overwhelmed in their personal lives, and silently burned out despite outward success. Mitchell shares his raw journey from financial stress, addiction, and near divorce to rebuilding his mindset, body, marriage, and leadership from the inside out. We dive deep into radical ownership, identity, unhealed childhood trauma, masculine purpose, and why discipline without inner work eventually collapses. Mitchell explains how men can lead powerfully in business without sacrificing their family, health, or peace of mind—and why true leadership always starts at home. This conversation is for men who are winning publicly but struggling privately—and are ready to fix the real problem.

Most people don't fail because of lack of effort, motivation, or discipline — they fail because of a belief they don't even know they have. In this episode, Paul Alex sits down with Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of the Lefkoe Institute and one of the world's leading experts on eliminating limiting beliefs. With over 35 years of experience, Shelly breaks down how unconscious beliefs are formed, why positive thinking doesn't work, and how the stories you absorbed early in life may still be controlling your success today. You'll hear real examples of how beliefs like “I'm not good enough,” “mistakes are bad,” and “success requires suffering” silently drive procrastination, burnout, fear, and self-sabotage — even in high achievers and entrepreneurs. Shelly also explains the critical difference between behavior patterns and beliefs, and why lasting change only happens when beliefs are eliminated at the root. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same cycles, pushing harder without real progress, or wondering why you know what to do but still don't do it — this conversation will hit home.

Leisure isn't about doing nothing.It's about having space.And you can't have space when you're forcing yourself to be disciplined.Here's what nobody tells you about habits: they keep you stuck in force.

The kitchen vent fan noise is your mind racing. Continuous distraction keeps you from seeing what you're running from. Pull the elastic band hard toward your goals, but don't snap it. Financial freedom means nothing if you destroy your health and relationships getting there.This episode reveals the difference between leisure and downtime, how to create space when you're not financially free yet, and why distracting yourself keeps your mind racing. Take 15 minutes. Write "Why do I do this?" at the top of a page. Go three layers deep. You'll see what you've been running from.

You were told to chase green flags.You were never taught how some of them hide the biggest red flags of your life.In this episode, Marvyn Harrison pulls five “perfect” green flags apart and shows the shadow side underneath: limerence, trauma bonds, emotional shutdown, manipulation and cruelty dressed up as “being real”. Across romantic relationships, friendships, family and work, Marvyn unpacks:Intense Chemistry From Day OneThe “we could marry right now” energy that feels like destiny.Why you feel deeply connected on almost no information.Limerence: the repeat pattern of getting obsessed, acting like it's real and only understanding it years later.How trauma bonds, nervous system chaos and mirroring can feel like soulmate energy while your body is actually in crisis.Why neurodivergent people often feel this intensity and believe it's “how love is supposed to feel.” People Who Respectfully Hate Everybody But You“They're just honest, they see through everyone” – the seductive packaging.The contempt, gossip and dehumanising that's actually rehearsing how they'll later talk about you.The difference between feedback, sharing and constant judgement.Why “it's us against the world” often means “you're next when the honeymoon ends.”Extreme Independence And Having ‘No Needs'“I'm low maintenance, I'm drama free” as a brand.Emotional shutdown disguised as maturity.The triple problem: they can't ask, can't receive and can't repair.How fear of abandonment sits behind “I don't need anything from anyone.”You end up doing all the emotional labour, while they quietly protect a chaotic inner world they don't want you to see. Total Overlap In Values, Opinions And Tastes“We're literally the same person, we never argue” – why that feels like winning.People-pleasing and mirroring as manipulation: pre-written caring responses, no behavioural change.Why genuine adults have differences, and why tolerating disagreement is actually intimacy.The truth about “peaceful” relationships that never argue: someone gave up bringing their full self.Brutal Honesty With Zero Empathy“I just tell it like it is, I keep it 100” as a personality costume.Cruelty cosplaying as truth.Why timing is a core part of empathy: the film-premiere example where “honesty” is actually violence. How real friends hold their feedback, let the moment pass, then come back with thought, care and context.Why brutal honesty is often laziness and emotional illiteracy, not integrity.Marvyn closes by turning the lens back on you:Why you keep choosing intense chemistry, “low maintenance” partners or brutally honest friends.Why you might secretly want spontaneity, chaos and “life of the party” energy, then demand they calm down once you've got them.How to notice the patterns you recreate, instead of taking internet advice “cold” and blowing up relationships that could be repaired with awareness and conversation. This is not a call to go home and dump everyone.It's a call to see what's really happening underneath your favourite “green flags” and work out whether you're genuinely safe, genuinely seen – or just addicted to the chaos you were never taught to name.Content WarningsThis episode includes discussion of:Trauma bonds and nervous system dysregulationEmotional shutdown and abandonment fearsManipulation, people-pleasing and cruelty in relationships Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we talk about one of the clearest, yet most overlooked signs of how someone truly feels about you: how they consider you.Not what they say.Not the vibe.Not the history.But whether you show up in their thoughts, their plans, and their curiosity.We explore the difference between people who naturally make space for you in their future — the friends who plan with you without hesitation — versus the people you keep planning around, who never once include you back. We also break down the subtle social cues, like being the only one asking questions, initiating conversations, or investing emotional energy that never gets returned.This episode is about clarity. About recognizing where you're genuinely valued and where you're just trying to earn a place.And ultimately, it's about learning to stop mistaking effort for reciprocity, and letting people's consideration (or lack of it) tell you the truth.
Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to discuss a president oscillating between boredom and sudden, theatrical fury; a man who now demands ever-greater flattery from aides who are running out of new ways to praise him. Joanna presses into the Hegseth Venezuela debacle that Trump is suddenly trying to disown, the strange Kushner–Witkoff Moscow overture supposed to “solve” Ukraine, and the inner-circle panic over Trump's fixation with who is—and isn't—sufficiently servile. Along the way, they track the “moronocracy” shaping U.S. policy and ask: if flattery no longer works, what happens next? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt sits down with the questions men usually ask in private. These are the messages he gets from guys in crisis who are trying to get sober, repair their marriage, and figure out what it actually means to be a good man.We'll go rapid fire through questions like: • “Why do I have to be the one to change first?” • “If I am sober, why is she still angry?” • “How long is she supposed to stay mad after I apologized?” • “Why do I feel like the bad guy even when I am trying?” • “Do I get to have needs too, or is it all about her healing?” • “How much of her triggers are my responsibility?” • “What is the difference between her boundary and her controlling me?” • “Why does everything still get blamed on my addiction, even when I am sober?” • “Why does she shut down about sex?”Matt shares the mindset shifts that helped him get and stay sober for nearly 13 years, rebuild his marriage, become a better father, and stop seeing himself as the victim of his own past. If you are a man who is trying to change, or a partner who wants to understand what might be going on in his head, this one will give you language, perspective, and a challenge to rise to.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily brings on sex educator Dr. Emily Nagoski for a live conversation—and they get brutally honest about their own sex lives falling apart. Why even bestselling sex experts lose their desire—and how Dr. Emily's nervous system was so shot she didn't even want orgasms. The myth that kept her terrified to stop sex once it started: believing "blue balls" required hospitalization—and the truth that you can stop and start anytime. A parent worried their college-age kids aren't having sex or relationships—the questions to ask instead of pushing sex on them, and why nobody dies from not having sex but people do die from loneliness. The most important thing parents can do around sexuality: unlearn your own shame first—because your embarrassment when they ask questions teaches them more than any words ever could. The reframe for anyone struggling with desire: what you actually want when you want sex (it's not orgasm—you can do that alone), and what you don't want when you don't want sex.
