Snuggle in and listen as this heartwarming story reminds us that kindness makes every sweet moment even sweeter.
Ashley C. Ford returns to the pod today for a deeply personal, raw, and revelatory conversation about how we can love the world, our people, and ourselves through this trying moment. We explore: - Why we're no longer certain that “to be loved is to be known”; - Why we resent our people when they don't understand us—and how to find more love, peace, and acceptance in our relationships; - Abby's realization that she doesn't need to “fix” Glennon's sadness; sometimes partnership looks like staying steady while your person feels it all. For those of us who feel lost, afraid, or alone: Ashley's wisdom and clarity are exactly what we need. Snuggle in, open your minds and your hearts. We love you.

While the What Next team works their way from preparing food to sleeping it off, enjoy this episode on fall's flavorful favorites from our friends at Decoder Ring. We'll be back to regular programming on Sunday. Autumn may have more cozy signifiers than any other season—though we all have our own favorites. Maybe for you it's sweater weather, football games, spooky season, apple picking, leaf peeping, or mainlining candy corn. Whatever it is, in today's episode we're looking closely at three of these autumnal staples. First, we get to the bottom of a recurring complaint about the taste of the pumpkin spice latte. Then we gaze deep inside the enigma hiding inside colorful fall leaves. Finally we ask some hard-hitting questions about the seasonal availability of an elusive cookie. Snuggle up and enjoy! In this episode, you'll hear from author and podcaster Don Martin who has a new audiobook out about loneliness called Where Did Everybody Go?. We also speak with Simcha Lev-Yadun, professor of botany and archeology; Susanne Renner, botanist and honorary professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis; and Prospect Park Alliance arborist Malcolm Gore.

Step inside the madness. In this episode, we descend into the twisted domain of Snuggles—a performer whose terrifying presence at Woods of Terror is only matched by the passion that drives him. Beneath the smeared paint and grotesque smile lies a heart dedicated to the art of the scare. Every scream, every lunge, every chilling stare has meaning. This is more than just a costume. It's a calling. We explore how he built his legacy one nightmarish step at a time, and how this craft became not just performance—but purpose. This isn't just another haunt actor. This is a master at work. Welcome to Snuggles' domain. You won't come out the same.

This month only! Dr. Cheryl is teaching some FREE relationship workshops! Sign up NOW for one of her Passion Masterclasses—choose the time that works best for you. You'll also hear about the 12-week Become Passion program—it kicks off in October. Doors are now open! You can check it out and join the program HERE “Why does lust fade in long-term relationships?” “How do happy couples keep their sex life alive after years together?” “Is it normal to lose desire for my partner over time?” “What's the best way to bring back passion after kids or menopause?” Turns out bunny-rabbit lust has an expiration date—but on Sex, Love and Elephants, Dr. Cheryl makes it clear your sex life doesn't have to expire with it. In this candid and funny re-release, she and her sweetheart dive deep into intimacy, desire, and what really happens when sex shifts over time. From menopause to scheduled sex, from the biology of lust to the reality of long-term love, this conversation is both raw and reassuring. If you've ever wondered why you and your partner don't connect the way you used to—or if you've worried that something is “wrong” because you're not in the mood 24/7—this episode is your permission slip to drop the fairy tales and start focusing on what actually builds passion that lasts. Cheryl and her husband share their own story, including struggles, dry spells, and what it really takes to keep desire alive. Spoiler: no couple is “broken” just because spontaneous lust fades. The ones who thrive are the ones who adapt, laugh, and keep choosing each other—in and out of the bedroom. Want to know more about my program? Check out the Become Passion testimonials for reviews from actual couples that I've helped through this profound program. In This Episode, You'll Learn: (05:57) Why lust is always temporary—and why that's not a bad thing (15:38) How menopause can shake up your sex life, and what to do about it (21:09) Why long-term couples often experience low desire—and why you're not “broken” if you do (29:36) The biology behind fading lust and how to work with it, not against it (39:19) Today's LoveByte: Schedule sex. Don't tell me it's not romantic to schedule sex. I'll tell you what's not romantic: never having sex. Wherever you are, we begin where you are, bring sensuality back. Snuggle your sweetheart today and make your erotic life a priority again. Want to learn more about Buddhism and relationships? Cheryl's book Buddha's Bedroom is a great resource! Let's Connect!
