CherryPop welcomes star of The Buccaneers, Aubri Ibrag to the podcast. Aubri and Meg explore her character Lizzie's empowering Season 2 arc. They touch upon the show's beautiful and powerful themes of female friendship, love, and what happens when the two conflict. Although Lizzie may make some questionable choices, we're very proud of her for choosing love and following her heart. At the end of the day, the Buccaneers always find their way back to each other, which is just one of the countless reasons we are continually obsessed with the series. Although it takes place in the past, Aubri discusses the show's very relatable themes. We may not relate to, say, abdications, but we can relate to these characters on a human level, and as Aubri says, “that's what storytelling is all about.” We, of course, also dive into this season's sensational aesthetics, set pieces, and costumes. The episode comes to a close in true CherryPicks style with a game of “Sweet and Sour” with Aubri sharing her exciting future career goals and aspirations. “[There are] men like Seadown that exist, who made Lizzie feel so awful for such a long time, and she tried to almost quiet herself and make herself smaller so that she didn't elicit bad reactions from people, which is really heartbreaking. But I'm really proud of her [...] for pursuing love.” -Aubri Ibrag “After being sexually violated by Seadown, she was quite numb and probably gave up on the idea of ever having passionate feelings, but then came along Theo… I'm really proud of her for allowing herself to follow that feeling, even though it did hurt people. I'm proud of her for doing something wrong, for once, if that makes sense, that was in her own self interest.” -Aubri Ibrag All episodes of The Buccaneers Season 2 are available to stream on Apple TV+.

Are you interested in building confidence? Have you been playing the victim in your life? In this episode, we dive into discussing how to change our thinking and build confidence in our lives. We discuss how obstacles happen to everyone, but it doesn't mean you should play the victim. In this episode I talk with Rachel Luna, best-selling author of the book, Successful People are Full of C.R.A.P. (Courage. Resilience. Authenticity.

We dig into how to realize you have a victim mindset, how to stop people pleasing and how to change your habits for good. Questions I asked: Can you tell us about growing up? How did you go from not feeling enough to feeling confidence? What was a turning point for you? What are the habits and thinking you changed moving forward? Why do we need to give ourselves permission? How do you step out of people-pleasing? What are the signs you have a victim mentality? Did you heal naturally from cancer? Tell me about your green juices. What is your vision for Girl, Confident, and why did you create it? How did you get into journaling, and why do you think it's important? Where can everyone reach you? Topics Discussed: Addiction Confidence Overcoming obstacles Knowing your core beliefs Religion Building confidence Death and Loss Build your community.

At the age of 36 Dr. Jody Carrington received unexpected news from her parents that she had a full biological sister living nearby. The revelation and discovery reshaped her understanding of her family's history and her own identity. In this first episode of Season 5, Dr. Jody shares more of her deeply transformative and emotional experience, which was also challenging in many ways. What made the moment so meaningful was the profound connection she felt with someone who had always been there, yet completely unknown to her. What she learned from this experience is that "truths", even when hidden or unexpected, have the power to heal and deepen relationships.Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human centered problems. Dr. Jody's work often involves understanding how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate her audiences.Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she's written thee bestselling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts a widely celebrated podcast.To learn more about my guest Dr. Jody Carrington, please visit her social media pages:Instagram: @drjodycarringtonWebsite: Dr. Jody CarringtonPodcast: UNLONELY with Dr. Jody CarringtonTo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were siblings, each with their own personality, their own way of loving Jesus, and likely their own tensions. And yet, Jesus called them His friends. In this final session of the series, we'll reflect on what it means to embrace the differences among us and to stay in relationship even when things get complicated. Sisterhood isn't about agreeing on everything, it's about choosing to see Christ in the other, again and again.Have you ever felt tension in your friendships or struggled to connect with someone who's just different? How can we honor the dignity of someone we find difficult to understand?Join the convo at the Weekly Visit every Tuesday at 1pm ET in the BIS Member Community!

Far too often we hear the same story, a woman gets diagnosed with fibroids and is told her only option is a full hysterectomy. In this interview, Kit Maloney and Rachel Rose talk with Miara Pack, who shares her journey of saying no to the white coat and bravely charting her own course.

In this 8-minute solo episode, I reflect on a powerful conversation sparked at a recent wedding, where mutual respect and emotional consideration in relationships were jokingly labeled as being "whipped." It opened the door to a much deeper discussion on devotion; what it really means to be devoted to your partner and your relationship.Through stories from my own life, my sessions, and the lens of mental health, I explore how devotion builds interdependence, strengthens emotional safety, and nurtures the sacred “we” in partnership. This is for anyone wanting to love with more presence, care, and conscious intention.And if you're craving a space to go even deeper into these topics, I share more about our upcoming Tuscany Retreat: Self-Worth, Self-Care & Sisterhood happening August 18–23.

Today's episode is deeply personal. I'm honored to introduce my oldest son, Mike Nicholson, known as Digital Tapestry. At 16, Mike was in a near-fatal car crash. That accident changed everything. He walked away with a halo on his head, but the dream was put on hold. What could have broken him instead ignited something powerful. Mike turned to music and fitness as healing tools, writing songs that come from the most honest, vulnerable places. His journey from trauma to transformation is inspiring. Today, Mike is a finalist in America's Top Hitmaker competition. He's one step away from performing on the same stage as Post Malone, being featured in Rolling Stone, and winning $50,000. This isn't just a story about music; it's about resilience, redemption, and the dream that refused to die.

Tonks has captivated audiences for years; whether she's splashing onto our screens as a mermaid in H2O, romancing the undead in The Vampire Diaries, casting spells in The Secret Circle, dominating Aussie TV with her award-winning turn in Boy Swallows Universe, or lighting up the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire.

We dive into the early days of Your Zen Life, the swirl of the wellness world, and the intense pressure of being a 20-something in Hollywood. The girls reflect on championing each other through the industry, learning from their younger selves, finding your voice (and losing it along the way), and why being each other's biggest cheerleaders matters more than ever. Phoebe also spills on her stunning NYC wedding, the epic new show she's leading, and the full-circle moment of presenting each other with recent acting awards.

EPISODE 71 Comparison. Jealousy. Insecurity. We are all guilty of these at some point or another in our lives. But thankfully, we serve an abundant God. And just because someone is successful, that doesn't mean you can't be too. That should be what fills your mind. Because you become what you fill your mind with. Fill your mind with the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. Surround yourself with others who encourage you and make you feel like you can change the world. Because you can!This week, I challenge you to encourage another woman. Encourage her if she inspires you or if she is intimidating you. Encourage her even when you want to add a “me too” during your discussion. Sometimes it's better to just listen and say, “I'm proud of you. You are doing a great job!” Just try it and see how it can change both of your days!This episode is for you if:You are ready to stop the cycle of comparisonYou want to build a circle of women who build each other upYou want to become the positive influence your kids need You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.Other episodes mentioned:Episode 70: Your Future Self Is Watching - Make Her Proud TodayConnect with Jen:On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jens.get.fit.group/On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jens.get.fit.group/Check out or join Jen's Get Fit Group - http://jensgetfitgroup.comSubscribe to my newsletter “Behind the Weights” - https://jensgetfitgroup.com/subscribe-to-behind-the-weightsSHOW NOTES: https://jensgetfitgroup.com/episode71

Yousef is the CEO of Humboldts Secret Supplies, a top-selling plant nutrient brand he built from the ground up, starting from his one-bedroom apartment. What sets Yousef apart, however, isn't just his entrepreneurial success—it's his journey of emotional and mental reinvention after hitting rock bottom. After losing everything, including his finances and health, Yousef rebuilt himself using a powerful system based on discipline, mindset, and leadership. His personal transformation is a testament to the power of facing adversity head-on and coming out stronger on the other side. Yousef now helps men break through common barriers—whether it's feeling lost after a breakup, struggling with consistency, or battling burnout. His approach is raw, unfiltered, and built on helping men build real confidence and stop chasing external validation. His insights are practical, no-BS, and deeply relevant for anyone looking to transform their life from the inside out.
