Podcasts about Sleepless

Ben, also know as "Sleepless in San Francisco" hasn't been able to get a good night's rest for over a decade. He's tried noise machines, medication, vodka, even eating cheese -- but nothing has worked. In this episode of How To!, we bring in Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk and co-founder of the meditation app Headspace, to help Ben hit the hay. Plus, some new information from the frontiers of sleep from your host, Charles Duhigg! Learn more about Sleep at Charles Duhigg's newsletter, The Science of Better!

You can find Emily Franklin at www.emilyfranklin.com or on IG at emilyfranklinauthor   At the end of May, we attended a Carmichael's book event featuring author Emily Franklin, who has written numerous books. Her latest titled Love & Other Monsters is about a time in history that most English majors look on with awe and wonder. Her novel is about the summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori traveled to Switzerland and, as the legend goes, told scary stories to each other, which ended up leading to the first vampire story and the book we now know as Frankenstein. But Franklin's novel focuses on a member of the party who doesn't get any acknowledgement—Mary's step-sister Claire Clairemont. Emily did a great job making the Carmichael's audience want to learn more about Claire's story, so we invited her on to share it with our listeners.     And for our book recommendation segment of the show, we are talking Shakespeare, the Bard, the Swan of Avon, Willy Shakes.  Shakespeare is such a touchstone in literature in ways that we don't regularly think about like classic phrases and tropes.  But you don't have to be (or not to be) a Shakespeare scholar to enjoy the books we talk about this week.  We have a historical mystery, witty nonfiction, historical fiction, a memoir, a middle grade novel, and a novel in verse.  All are influenced in some way by Shakespeare's plays or the man himself.     Books Mentioned In This Episode: 1- Love and Other Monsters by Emily Franklin  2- Grandma Joy & Me: A Journey of Healing , One National Park at a Time by Brad Ryan  3- The Humming Room by Ellen Potter  4- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett  5- Summer of 1816: A World Without Summer by Nicholas Day  6- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  7- The Vampyre by John Polidori  8- Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Mushrooms Taught Me About Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival by Maria Pinto 9- Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman 10- Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  11- Wisdom Corner by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  12- A Five Star Read of Fellow Book Lover Joshua  - Devotions by Mary Oliver  13- Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd  14- Much Ado About Mistletoe by Christina Dodd  15- Shakespeare: The World as a Stage by Bill Bryson  16- By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult  17- Enter the Body by Joy McCullough  18- Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench  19- The Wednesday Wars by Gary D.

Festival camping has never made sense to Claire Byrne. Sleepless nights in tents, mud, queues for the toilets... Why would anyone willingly swap the comforts of home for a damp field? So, at the height of festival season, Claire sets out to discover what she's been missing. Her guide is Philip Meagher – solicitor by day, music obsessive by nature, and the founder of Forest Fest in Emo, Co. Laois. Philip took a remarkable gamble, investing his own money to build a festival designed for people who still love live music but don't necessarily want to rough it. Can Philip persuade one lifelong sceptic that sleeping in a tent is a small price to pay for the magic that happens when thousands of strangers come together for one unforgettable weekend? Or will festival camping stay firmly on Claire's "Never Have I Ever" list?

In Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Fungi Taught Me about Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival (University of North Carolina Press, 2026), naturalist, forager, and educator Maria Pinto uncovers strange and beautiful connections between the natural and human worlds, mingling reportage, research, memoir, and nature writing, touching on topics that range from Black farmers' domestication of the unforgettable aroma of truffles, to the possibility that enslaved people wielded mycological poisons against their enslavers. Pinto brings a new perspective and a distinctive literary voice to this mix of environmental and lived history, and every page sings with her enthusiasm for the networks in which we are embedded: fungal, ecological, ancestral, and communal. Join us in pursuit of beautiful, perplexing, delicious, and deadly mushrooms as we explore this understudied kingdom's awe-inspiring diversity, discovering how fungi have been used by people, especially those on the margins, for survival, pleasure, revelation, and revolution. When she's not in the woods (and sometimes when she is), Maria Pinto is a writer, editor, and educator. She teaches writing for various literary organizations. She reads fiction for Peripheries Journal and serves on the board of Hale, an outdoor education and land conservancy nonprofit. Her writing has been supported by Assets for Artists at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Oak Spring Garden Foundation, Vermont Studio Center, the Mass Cultural Council, the Writers' Room of Boston, The Mastheads, and The Garrett on the Green.

Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. She truly believed she was going to die. On December 16, 2019, Kelly Sutliff's life changed forever. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio What began as another terrifying encounter with an abusive husband became a violent attack that nearly ended her life. She was strangled, beaten, thrown against walls, and held at knifepoint inside the home she once believed was a place of safety. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. By the time the attack ended, blood stained the walls, priceless family heirlooms had been destroyed, more than $60,000 in damage had been inflicted on her home, and Kelly was left wondering whether she would ever feel safe again. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Instead of allowing that horrific night to define her future, Kelly transformed unimaginable trauma into a mission that is now helping survivors across America. Her remarkable journey is the focus of a powerful interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartradio and other major Podcast and Social Media platforms. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. "I Am Going To Die" For Kelly, the memories remain crystal clear. "December 16, 2019 was the date of the domestic violence attack. I can still vividly remember thinking and feeling... I am going to die." The violence wasn't spontaneous. Looking back, Kelly believes the abuse had been carefully built through manipulation, deception, coercive control, and isolation. The conversation is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most other major podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering firsthand accounts from those who have lived them. She says her husband destroyed treasured belongings connected to her late parents while forcing her to watch. Her beloved dog was also threatened. "He could kill my dog right in front of me," she recalls thinking. The attack escalated into strangulation, physical assault, and eventually a knife pressed against her throat. Her head crashed into sheetrock, leaving holes in the wall. Blood covered parts of the home. When the violence finally stopped, Kelly was alive, but emotionally shattered. Discovering She Wasn't His First Victim After escaping the relationship, Kelly uncovered an alarming pattern. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. She learned her former husband had allegedly assaulted three previous wives. The revelation changed everything. She realized the abuse had never been about her. Instead, she believes she had been intentionally targeted by someone seeking power and control. "I now know he pursued me with the intent to abuse me. He married me with the intent to control me." Those realizations became part of a much larger healing process. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her.  Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. The Abuse Didn't End After The Assault Many people believe domestic violence ends once a victim leaves. Kelly says that couldn't be further from the truth. She describes months of fear that continued through court proceedings. Physical stalking. Virtual stalking. Constant anxiety. Sleepless nights. She says she repeatedly sought protection through the criminal justice and family court systems, only to encounter frustration and disappointment. "I experienced firsthand what so many survivors know too well: a system that is deeply broken." For Kelly, surviving the attack was only the beginning. The challenge became learning how to live again. Domestic Violence Is A National Crisis Kelly's story reflects a much larger reality. According to national research, domestic violence affects millions of Americans every year. Although women experience severe intimate partner violence at disproportionately higher rates, men also become victims. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Domestic violence crosses every social, economic, racial, and geographic boundary. It includes physical violence, emotional abuse, coercive control, stalking, threats, intimidation, financial abuse, and psychological manipulation. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. For many survivors, leaving the relationship is often the most dangerous time. The Dog That Changed Everything Everything began changing on August 6, 2020. That was the day Kelly met Stella. Not just any dog. A professionally trained German Shepherd personal protection dog. These highly specialized canines often cost anywhere from $15,000 to well over $175,000, depending on their level of executive or family protection training, obedience, experience, and age. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her.  The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Kelly remembers every second. "The trainer brought her out, and she sat down right beside me." Then something happened. As Kelly gently stroked Stella's back, a stranger approached. Without command, Stella calmly placed one paw across Kelly's ankle. It was a simple gesture. Yet Kelly instantly understood its meaning. "I've got you now." That single moment changed her life. "In that moment, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time: safety." Not temporary comfort. Real safety. For the first time since the attack, fear began losing its grip. Healing Through Protection Dog Training Kelly soon discovered Stella offered far more than physical security. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The daily training created structure. Discipline. Routine. Trust. Confidence. Instead of living in survival mode, Kelly slowly began reconnecting with life. She started leaving the house again. She spent time with friends. She laughed. She smiled. She trusted people again. Most importantly, she stopped seeing herself only as a victim. "The positive impact my dogs and their training have had on me as a survivor of domestic violence has been profound. It has healed me." A New Purpose Emerges Kelly's journey didn't stop with Stella. She later welcomed another German Shepherd named Luca. Unlike Stella, Luca entered her life as an eight-week-old puppy. Kelly trained him in Schutzhund, the internationally recognized working-dog sport centered on obedience, tracking, and protection. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. Watching Luca earn his first title became another milestone in Kelly's own recovery. As the dogs grew stronger... So did she. Protection training became more than a hobby. It became therapy. Confidence. Purpose. Freedom. From Survivor To Founder Kelly realized countless domestic violence survivors were living exactly as she once had. Terrified. Isolated. Powerless. Many desperately wanted protection but simply couldn't afford professionally trained personal protection dogs. That realization inspired Kelly to establish Kelly's K9's, Tails of Courage. The nonprofit helps restore both physical and emotional safety for survivors of domestic violence by providing trained protection and support dogs while promoting independence, resilience, healing, and renewed confidence. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. Listen to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on their website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most major podcast platforms. Its mission reflects Kelly's own transformation. The organization envisions survivors rebuilding their lives with courage rather than fear. Standing Tall Again Kelly says she knows exactly what survivors experience because she lived it herself. She remembers what constant fear feels like. She also remembers the day she finally breathed freely again. That is what she hopes every survivor will someday experience. "I want every survivor to know that feeling." She believes trained protection dogs offer much more than security. They restore confidence. Freedom. Control. Self-worth. Purpose. Hope. And sometimes... They help someone begin living again. Listen To Kelly's Powerful Story Kelly Sutliff's extraordinary journey from surviving extreme domestic violence to helping others through trained personal protection dogs is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Her story demonstrates that healing is possible, even after unimaginable trauma, and that hope can emerge from the darkest moments.

Today I get a chance to speak to Jamie S. Rich, Editor in Chief for Ignition Press and creator of the Romantic Comedy The Dogsitter. Fun Fact: before the birth of superheroes most comics thrived as romance comics. Jamie tells the story of Gemma who is in her gap year of veterinary school. She is hustling her way not only working at a florist, but utilizing the workspace at the florist siding as a Dogsitter. Gemma is immediately relatable to many students finding the mix between School and actually making money as a hardship in their social lives. Until Neal arrives, currently dating his boss who lives upstairs from the florist and someone who Gemma thought was nothing more than a Harlot. One night out at a costume party changes all this and now Gemma finds herself in a an uninhibited love triangle.Written by Jamie S RichArtwork by Megan LevensColors by Nick Filardi

If you feel stuck in your training and your strength just isn't moving, this episode is for you. Heather and Katie break down the most common reasons people hit strength plateaus and what to actually do about it. Spoiler: it's probably not your genetics.What We CoverToo much, too soon Doing too much cardio, too much volume, or going all out six days a week without proper fueling and recovery are the most common traps, especially when people return to training motivated. Working out is a stressor. Add in life stress, poor sleep, and under-eating, and your bucket overflows fast.You can't lose fat and get stronger at the same time (unless you're a beginner) Chasing two goals simultaneously is physiologically impossible for intermediate lifters. Use strength as your tracking metric: if you're in a deficit and maintaining strength, you're doing it right. If your strength is tanking, your deficit is probably too aggressive.Your program might just suck No progressive overload. Too many isolation movements and machines. Not enough compound lifts. Changing your program too often or not often enough. These all stall progress. There's a sweet spot between doing the same movements long enough to adapt and progressing them in a way that actually makes sense.Rest between sets matters Skipping rest between sets turns strength training into cardio. You need a couple of minutes to regenerate ATP and actually perform on your next set. Junk volume + no rest = wasted time.Sleep Less than six hours and you're already fighting an uphill battle. Seven is the floor. Sleep is non-negotiable.Protein and fiber Stop overcomplicating nutrition. Focus on protein and fiber, and you'll naturally crowd out the junk. It's hard to eat like crap when you're hitting those two targets consistently.Form and range of motion Quarter squats, half reps, and cutting range of motion might let you load more plates, but it won't transfer to real life. You only get strong in the range of motion you train. Drop the weight, hit depth, and build real strength.You probably haven't hit your genetic limit If your bench is stuck at 135, it's almost certainly your program, your form, or your recovery and not your ceiling. Most people have barely scratched the surface.Hire a coach — even just once a month You may not need full-time personal training. Form-check in sessions can make a massive difference. Have them audit your squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench, and row. Full-body workout + full audit in one session.Want More?Join our Facebook GroupChat about 1:1 Fitness Coaching OptionsGet 3 Weeks of Nutrition Support for FreeFree Knee Pain Training GuideGet Hundreds of Movement Demos on Our Youtube Channel

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Sleepless nights don't need to end in groggy mornings or a growing pile of quick fixes. We look at why sleep breaks in specific ways—racing thoughts, grief that tightens the throat, tired-but-wired burnout, 3 a.m. wakeups after overwork, and fussy teething meltdowns—and match those patterns to gentle homeopathic remedies that support deep, restorative rest. No sedation, no override—just targeted support that helps your body remember how to sleep.We start with a candid listener question on why a child may not respond to remedies, exploring dosing, potency, storage, and environmental blockers like strong mints or topical melaleuca. From there, we lay out a clear approach to homeopathy for sleep and share real case studies: Coffea Cruda for the mind that won't shut off; Ignatia for grief-driven insomnia; Kali Phos for frayed nerves and shallow sleep; Nux Vomica for 3 a.m. wakefulness tied to stimulants and heavy dinners; and Chamomilla for kids who are inconsolable, angry-crying, or teething. Each story shows how a well-matched remedy, plus simple habits like dim lights and no late screens, can shift sleep within days.Along the way, we talk practical sleep hygiene, the role of the vagus nerve, and how small choices—magnesium baths, quiet reading, steadier meal timing—signal safety to your nervous system. For those who find nighttime spiritually charged, we offer perspective and a blessing that reframes the bedroom as a sanctuary of peace. If you want structured guidance, our Rest Renewed course inside the membership goes deeper with over 20 remedies, dosing plans, children's protocols, and faith-centered tools that help you build rhythms you can sustain.If this conversation gave you hope, share it with a friend who's struggling, hit follow, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

The brothers are back to ramble on about lack of sleep. Does a deep accent scare you? Should TruckZilla be used as a punishment? What to do if your dog is sick? Is this really a new way to be buzzed?

In this episode, we listen to an account of an impossible situation, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 252, penned by Nakkannaiyaar. The verse is situated amidst the dark and dangerous ranges of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain Landscape’ and etches an exquisite simile to capture an intricate emotion. இடம் படுபு அறியா வலம் படு வேட்டத்துவாள் வரி நடுங்கப் புகல்வந்து, ஆளிஉயர் நுதல் யானைப் புகர் முகத்து ஒற்றி,வெண் கோடு புய்க்கும் தண் கமழ் சோலைப்பெரு வரை அடுக்கத்து ஒரு வேல் ஏந்தி,தனியன் வருதல் அவனும் அஞ்சான்;பனி வார் கண்ணேன் ஆகி, நோய் அட,எமியேன் இருத்தலை யானும் ஆற்றேன்;யாங்குச் செய்வாம்கொல் தோழி! ஈங்கைத்துய் அவிழ் பனி மலர் உதிர வீசித்தொழில் மழை பொழிந்த பானாட் கங்குல்,எறி திரைத் திவலை தூஉம் சிறு கோட்டுப்பெருங் குளம் காவலன் போல,அருங் கடி அன்னையும் துயில் மறந்தனளே? In this little trip to the mountains, we get to meet the wild beasts of the land, as we listen to the lady say these words to her confidante, pretending not to notice the man listening nearby, but making sure he’s in earshot: “Making a tiger with sword-like stripes, one which knows not to fell its prey on the left and always hunts it down on the right, to quiver, with a desire to kill, a ferocious lion pounces on the spotted face of an elephant with an upraised forehead, and tears apart its white tusks, in the cool and fragrant orchard, amidst the tall mountain ranges. Treading through such a space with a single spear, he comes alone without any fear; With tears pouring down from my eyes, with the affliction of love attacking me, I too cannot bear to be apart from him; What are we to do, my friend? Making the touch-me-not's dew-covered flowers with fuzzy petals to drop down, rain clouds gush and pour in the midnight hour. At this time, when the soaring waves spray and spread their droplets in that huge pond with a weak bank, akin to the one who stands in guard there, mother too has put up a protective watch and has forgotten the meaning of sleep now!” Let’s brave the storm clouds and the roving beasts, and listen to the lady’s heartbeat! The lady starts by introducing a tiger, one which is so flawless in its skill of killing that it never hunts a prey on the left and always finishes it on the right. Apparently, this was a big deal to the ancients, as we have heard this obsession over right-side-killing in more than one song! After presenting a portrait of such a valorous tiger, the lady relates a scene which seems to make even this brave tiger quiver in fear, and that’s the scene of an animal she calls as ‘Aali’ attacking an elephant and tearing out its tusks. This ‘Aali’ is a mythical creature depicted in Hindu temples with the composite parts of many animals. However, in this instance, it’s interpreted as a lion. Though today there are no lions in the state of Tamil Nadu and they are confined to the state of Gujarat, perhaps this was a time when the lions roved freely in the South too.  Returning, the lady has mentioned the attack only to depict the dangerous path the man walks, with only a spear for company, in the dead darkness of the night, without a drop of fear in his heart. As if saying he may not fear for his safety, but she does, the lady talks about how though tears pour down her eyes, she too cannot bear the thought of being apart from him. After relating the state of mind of the man and herself, the lady turns to depict a third person in this scene, and that’s the state of her mother, who keeps a watchful eye on her daughter, much like how a guard would watch an ebbing pond with a thin bank and though it’s the midnight hour, would forget to seek the calming refuge of sleep. The lady concludes by asking her friend what was the man and herself to do in such a difficult situation! In essence, the lady is telling the man that mother was aware that something’s up and so there’s danger of discovery and the only course of action for the man was to seek the lady’s hand in marriage. With that nuanced depiction and comparison with a person who stands guard around a tank with a weak bank on a rainy night, the verse paints the strokes of anxiety and insomnia with expert hands! Timeless emotions have a way of speaking across the ages indeed!

For nearly 15 years, the Thrivecast has been one of the most honest voices in the accounting profession about what it actually takes to build and lead a firm. In one of our final episodes, Jason sits down with Grant Niman, founder of Niman & Associates in El Segundo, California — a 45-person firm serving high-net-worth clients, family offices, and the entertainment industry through tax, business management, and estate and trust work. Grant started the firm in 2008 after decades in the profession, including time at major regional firms and PricewaterhouseCoopers. But when Thriveal came into the picture — discovered by his daughter Lauren, who now serves as the firm's project manager — Grant was running a 45-person firm the way you run an eight-person firm. Sleepless nights, hands in every barrel, and a head about to explode. What followed was a multi-year transformation that Grant describes as both uncomfortable and undeniable. Installing an accountability chart, deploying project management, stepping out of manager meetings, and allowing leaders to grow into the spaces he vacated — none of it came easy. Grant admits he pushed back, felt sidelined, and sometimes just wanted to move faster than the work would allow. But the results speak for themselves: their most successful tax season in years, a team that operates as a team, and a firm that kept humming while Grant took three weeks in Southeast Asia with a 16-hour time difference. This conversation is a rare window into what real firm transformation looks like over time — not a highlight reel, but the full arc. Grant shares what it means to be a heartfelt leader who had to learn to get out of his own way, why he's building for succession rather than sale, and why, 43 years into the profession, the journey is still very much going up.

In this episode, we listen to a pointed question put forth to subtly persuade a person, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 250, penned by Selloorkizhaar Maganaar Perumboothankotranaar. The verse is situated amidst the swaying seashore trees of the ‘Neythal’ or ‘Coastal landscape’ and recollects an incident and presents its consequences. எவன் கொல்? வாழி, தோழி! மயங்கு பிசிர்மல்கு திரை உழந்த ஒல்கு நிலைப் புன்னைவண்டு இமிர் இணர நுண் தாது வரிப்ப,மணம் கமழ் இள மணல் எக்கர்க் காண்வர,கணம் கொள் ஆயமொடு புணர்ந்து விளையாட,கொடுஞ்சி நெடுந் தேர் இளையரொடு நீக்கி,தாரன், கண்ணியன், சேர வந்து, ஒருவன்,வரி மனை புகழ்ந்த கிளவியன், யாவதும்மறு மொழி பெறாஅன் பெயர்ந்தனன்; அதற்கொண்டுஅரும் படர் எவ்வமொடு பெருந் தோள் சாஅய்,அவ் வலைப் பரதவர் கானல் அம் சிறு குடிவெவ் வாய்ப் பெண்டிர் கவ்வையின் கலங்கி,இறை வளை நெகிழ்ந்த நம்மொடுதுறையும் துஞ்சாது, கங்குலானே! In this trip to the shore, we perceive scenes of playful fun and more, as we listen to the confidante say these words to the lady, intending to persuade her to further her relationship with the man: “What could be the reason? Long may you live, my friend! Tormented by the muddled spray of the brimming waves, the swaying Laurelwood tree's bee-buzzing fine pollen scatters down, making the young sand to waft with a fragrance, amidst the picturesque mounds on the shore. Here, when we were playing together with our many mates, asking the helpers on his tall, ornamented chariot to step aside, a man wearing garlands around his neck and head, came close to us, and rendered words praising our lined sand houses. Without receiving words any in response, he parted away from there. From that moment, suffering deeply, which causes thick arms to wane, and troubled by the slander of cruel-mouthed womenfolk in this beautiful, little hamlet of the fisherfolk with exquisite nets, filled with groves by the shore, with bangles slipping away from the forearms, we remain. And so, along with us, the shore too sleeps not, in the middle of the night!” Time to take a walk on that ancient shore and learn more! The confidante starts with a question, pondering on why certain things are happening. Then, she takes us to the seashore and points to how a dancing ‘Punnai tree’, dashed against by the brimming waves, drops its fragrant pollen on the sands, imbuing it with a delicious scent. On such a pretty spread of land, the lady and herself had been playing with many other friends, the confidante recollects. Then she talks about how a man had arrived there, stopped his chariot, asked his helpers to stay a little away, and had come close to them, and praised the sand houses they had been building. Those girls overcome with their sense of shyness, did not reply to him, and he had left quietly, the confidante remembers. Then she talks about how from that moment, there had been significant changes. As we have always seen, the confidante does not separate herself from her friend. So, she says that their arms had been thinning, the womenfolk of the town had been spreading slander, and because of that, their bangles had been slipping away. What the confidante actually means is that these are the changes that are visible in the lady! The confidante concludes by remarking how the shore too does not seem to get a moment of sleep, just like them, even in the dark hour of midnight! That note about the shore sharing the plight of the lady subtly speaks about the sisterhood felt with this element of nature! To us, these words may seem rather cryptic, making us ask, ‘What is the confidante trying to say?’. To understand what she means, we have to know of a protocol that seems to be inherent in these love relationships between the man and the lady. It all starts with the man’s eyes falling on a lady, then he falls in love with her, and wins her affection in return. But the tale does not end there! Apparently, the man has to convince the lady’s confidante about his love for the lady, and if convinced, the confidante will take his message to the lady, and after getting her consent too, will arrange for those trysts, which will deepen the relationship between the man and the lady, and from there, the confidante will go on to nudge the man to marry the lady, as we have seen in songs many. Quite complicated indeed! It makes me smile to think what people in the future will have to say about our so-called ‘simple and seamless’ courting practices of today! Returning to the verse, these words are the confidante’s way of telling the lady, ‘The man seeks your company. I know that you are in love with him too. Shall we take this forward?’. Their innate sense of modesty prevents them from speaking plainly, and that’s the reason for these particular musical words that transport readers across the ages to the past, and spread the delight of the scents and sights of that pristine shore forevermore! 

HE WAS MAKING MONEY… BUT LOSING SLEEP AT 3AM The brutal truth most business owners avoid… until it catches up with them. In this raw episode of Level Up + Live, we sit down with Andrew Jimenez, husband, father of three, and owner of Relentless Plumbing in Montgomery County, who went from staying busy with money coming in… to realizing he had no real control over his business. On the outside, everything looked fine. Jobs were getting done. Revenue was coming in. But behind the scenes? Sleepless nights. Constant stress. No clarity. Andrew didn't know his break-even. Didn't understand his cash flow. Was making decisions based on instinct instead of data. This episode pulls back the curtain on what's really happening with many entrepreneurs who are stuck in the grind: working harder and making money but still feeling like they're one bad month away from everything falling apart. After stepping into Level Up + Live Level 2, Andrew faced a hard truth: If he didn't learn his numbers, nothing would truly change. What followed was a complete shift in how he operates: Knowing exactly what his business needs to generate every week Planning ahead for slow seasons instead of reacting to them Making smarter financial decisions in both business and personal life Leading his team with intention and clarity Replacing constant stress with confidence and direction Andrew also shares the moment that forced him to take things seriously, realizing his growing family depended on more than just hard work. It required structure, discipline, and understanding the business at a deeper level. We also tackle a question most business owners avoid: What happens if you continue to ignore your numbers? His answer is direct, frustration, burnout, and a business that ends up controlling you. This conversation is not theory. It's a real look at what happens when someone stops guessing and starts leading with clarity. If you're working hard but still feel stuck… If you're making money but don't fully understand where it's going… If you know something needs to change but haven't taken action… This episode is for you. If you've been looking for a room full of growth-minded business owners and leaders who are serious about leveling up in business and life, we'd love to have you join us as a guest.

"You had to make your own sunshine, but now the sky is opalite." This week we're deep diving the second single from “The Life of a Showgirl,”  Opalite! We'll explore why Taylor chose “opalite” over “opal,” what it means to create your own luck instead of waiting for it, and the song's shift from being stuck in a cycle to finding resilience. Along the way, we debate who's really speaking—is Mama Swift talking the whole time?—trace the song's self-referential connections to “Daylight,” “Fearless,” “right where you left me,” and more, and unpack how this bubblegum pop track is actually a deeply philosophical song about agency, community, and paying it forward.
