This week, we take you back to the "Before Time" - specifically 2011 - to trace the toxic road that led us to where we are today. We revisit the birther movement, explore how "Conservatism cannot fail; conservatism can only be failed" evolved into "Trump cannot fail; Trump can only be failed," and examine what happens when an entire political movement becomes nothing more than loyalty to one man.We discuss the courts blocking Trump's tariffs (and then unblocking them), judges using 26 exclamation points to strike down executive orders, Harvard losing a quarter of its student body overnight, and the president's ongoing extortion and bribery schemes - from CBS settlements to Mar-a-Lago pardon purchases.Plus, we cover Chris Cillizza's traumatic encounter with a mean note on his Tesla, Trump's potential pardons for would-be kidnappers, and why the meatheads will always find someone else to blame when their dear leader inevitably fails them.It's another episode in which we boldly venture into a place where others fear to tread—recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Not safe for work.

Margo is joined by Molly Balint, creative entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of the SOFT Business movement. Molly helps women break away from hustle culture to build businesses that are as nourishing as they are profitable—centered around heart, balance, and alignment. With a background in storytelling, community-building, and soulful mentorship, Molly brings a grounded, compassionate lens to what it means to show up authentically in business today. In this heartfelt conversation, Margo and Molly explore what it really takes to create a business rooted in your values, especially in a digital world that often prizes noise over nuance. Molly opens up about the inner work required to break free from old patterns, the difference between performative vulnerability and authentic presence, and how redefining success through softness can be a powerful act of creative leadership. Margo and Molly discuss: Molly's personal evolution from hustle-fueled creative to SOFT Business mentor. The deeper inner work needed before brand strategy can be effective. Why “just be yourself” advice often misses the mark—and how to do it in a way that feels safe and true. What the SOFT Business model looks like in practice (and how it doesn't mean being less ambitious). Letting go of productivity pressure and embracing cycles, seasons, and boundaries. Instagram storytelling as a tool for connection, not performance. Navigating vulnerability, visibility, and personal boundaries online. How motherhood, farm life, and creative business coexist on Molly's 300-acre Maryland farm. Why softness isn't weakness—it's a radical, sustainable strength.

How do we help kids and teens when social media is fueling a resurgence of body image issues and eating disorders? In this special conversation, Lia's daughter, Julia Parzyck shares her personal and professional journey navigating the tumultuous landscape of body acceptance in a world obsessed with appearance. The episode explores the influence of social media platforms, like TikTok and Instagram, and the impact they have on pediatric mental health and body positivity. Listeners will discover practical parenting strategies rooted in empathy, compassion, and my own past mistakes. Body acceptance is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Are we ready to support the next generation in building resilience against the ever-present pressures of body image issues?[00:01 - 06:22] The Shifting Landscape of Body Image and Social MediaExplores how diet culture and body expectations have worsened for teenagers in the age of TikTok and “skinny talk,” surpassing early 2000s pressures.The proliferation of pro-eating disorder content, now openly accessible through social media, and how it's masked as harmless tips.Contrasts curated body-positive environments with the harsher realities faced by today's youth on unchecked platforms.Highlights the rise of the “skinny talk” hashtag/movement and its troubling normalization of disordered behaviors and comparison.[06:23 - 11:39]Owning Softness: From Childhood Stories to Social AdvocacyJulia redefines “softness” as a source of strength, both in body and emotions, coining the phrase “soft body baddie” for her community.Childhood anecdotes—ranging from fashion flair to forming the hilariously named "labia band"—remind listeners of the roots of self-expression.Explores how embracing personal quirks and struggles, like anxiety and neurodivergence, leads to greater empathy in work with children and coaching.Reflects on how family dynamics and navigating outspoken personalities shape resilience, communication, and mutual growth.[11:40 -19:47]Healing, Boundaries, and Building a Modern IdentityDiscusses the transformative impact of family therapy, learning emotional independence, and accepting that parents can't always “fix” pain.Julia's journey through heartbreak (a called-off wedding) reveals the non-linear, ongoing process of healing and redefining self-worth.Explores the leap of faith required to pursue a career in body-positive coaching and online content, with all its uncertainties.Highlights the value of embracing risk, letting go of the need to “do it all over,” and recognizing how adversity can fuel growth and new purpose.[19:48 - 42:06] Compassion, Societal Pressures, and Looking ForwardShares insights on how political landscapes influence fashion, body ideals, and the subtle ways women are controlled through image and expectation.Resist setting rigid future goals, focus instead on finding joy, balance, and meaning in work and life, post-trauma.Stresses that body image work is lifelong, and that society will likely never “fix” its obsessions—progress is about grace, not perfection.Leaves listeners with the message that taking up space, nurturing empathy, and living for personal fulfillment, not external approval, is an act of quiet revolution.[29:23 - 35:21] Dr. G's TakeAwaysConnect with Julia Parzyck Instagram: Fit Fat and All That Here are some more episodes...

What does it take to lead with heart in one of the most demanding, misunderstood public service sectors? In this episode of the Leadership With Heart Podcast, I spoke with Billie Jo McCarley, Deputy Director of Operations at the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department.  From the moment I saw her speak on a panel, I was drawn to her clarity, purpose, and grounded approach to leading in a system that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. Her words were honest, her tone firm, and her leadership style deeply human. Billie Jo shares her journey from a union kid in upstate New York to a Marine Corps officer, and now to her executive role overseeing one of the largest utilities in the country. She brings a refreshingly straightforward style to leadership, one rooted in ownership, structure, and service. What resonated most was how she balances military precision with a deep sense of emotional intelligence and faith. Her mantra is simple: understand people, respect their uniqueness, and make hard decisions without ever stripping someone of their dignity. We explored how she builds high-performing teams by focusing on talent, alignment, clarity, and trust. She described her people as “scrappy builders,” but also reminded us that every person comes with a story, and our job as leaders is to create a space where that story matters. Whether shifting someone to a better-fitting role or navigating tough conversations with fairness and compassion, Billie Jo never loses sight of the mission: to serve the people of Miami-Dade County with integrity and purpose. Her belief that leadership is not about softening expectations but elevating them through care stayed with me. You can be clear, direct, and firm, and still lead with a heart full of compassion. That's the real balance we're all trying to strike, especially in times of uncertainty, change, and disruption. So here's my question: What does leadership with heart look like in your world, and how are you holding space for others while still pushing them to grow? I would love to hear your thoughts. Share your reflections with me, and let's continue the conversation.

In this relatable episode, Sara and Heather dive into the very real experience of burnout—what it feels like, how it shows up, and how to recover gently without defaulting to old patterns like alcohol.   Whether you're juggling kids, work, a partner, or just the pressures of everyday life, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone. Heather shares her recent “tired to the core” moment, Sara opens up about feeling emotionally foggy, and together they unpack the subtle signs of burnout and the small, powerful steps toward recovery.

Let's talk about something that often gets overlooked when life gets busy—how your home feels. I don't mean how clean or organized it is. I mean whether it feels like a soft place to land after a long day or just another place filled with demands and noise. This matters because your home should be more than just a roof over your head or a place to crash. It should feel like the one space in the world where you can truly exhale. A place where you, and everyone you love, can let down their guard and recharge. But if we're honest, how often does your home actually feel that way? For so many of us, it feels like another to-do list we can't keep up with or a space filled with chaos instead of calm. What if your home could be something different? What if it could be a place where you and your family feel supported, safe, and ready to face the world again? This week, I'm going to discuss when your home feels like another job and 5 small shifts to create a “safe place to fall.” You can read the full show notes HERE

Just after midnight on May 10, 1996, a motorist in Brown County, Texas called 911. They report that they'd been driving along Farm Road 2126 when they saw a burning car. It was parked just off the road, near the entrance to a gun range. Minutes later, a second motorist called 911 to report they had spotted a body lying near the burning car. When the fire department and Sheriff's deputies show up, the car is engulfed in flames. While inspecting the scene, they find the body of 30-year-old Leon Laureles. He had been shot in the back of the head, execution style. Leon's family believes they know what happened to Leon, but their suspicions have never been confirmed. Anyone with information regarding Leon's death or events leading up to it can contact the Brown County Sheriff's Office at 325-646-5510.

Story at-a-glance Daily soda drinkers have a 4.69 times higher fracture risk compared to non-drinkers; even one to two sodas weekly increase the risk Soft drinks disrupt calcium-phosphorus balance through phosphoric acid, forcing calcium release from bones even when dietary calcium intake is adequate Diet sodas cause more bone damage than regular sodas, significantly lowering calcium and vitamin D levels and increasing bone breakdown markers The damage to bones happens gradually and silently until fractures occur, making prevention through dietary changes essential Reversing bone damage requires a comprehensive approach: eliminating all sodas, including diet versions, prioritizing mineral-rich whole foods, getting sunlight exposure for vitamin D and incorporating strength training exercises

Today's episode was recorded outside in Fairview, NC, where the 17-year locusts are partying hard in the background. Verse 78 contains the third of only three instances of the word “water”. However, Water serves for Taoists through the centuries as THE single metaphor or model for Tao Itself. Act like water and you will live, refuse, get all brittle, and you'll break upon the rocks. Water wears down mountains. Iterodes hard places, and makes the rough ways smooth. But especially, when acting like water, the tough become tender. Soft like water, they wear things away; and outlast every unnatural thing.Thanks to Teresa Aeschliman for her voice. The song Loveis the Water that Wears down the Rock is by Pat Wictor & Brother Sun, performed by Brian Graves, Jen Folkers, and Andy Barnett

In 1974, 14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox left her family home in Burlington, New Jersey, full of hope and anticipation. She was on her way to what she believed would be a promising babysitting job — a chance to earn a little money and take one more step toward independence, but Margaret never came home. Fourteen-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox was last seen boarding a bus on June 24, 1974, in Burlington, NJ. She has blue eyes and brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'2” and weighed approximately 105 lbs. Two of her top right teeth were missing, and she wore eyeglasses. She was last seen wearing jeans with a yellow patch on the knee, a blue blouse, a white and black checkered jacket, and brown sandals with a heel strap. She was also wearing a gold necklace with flowers and a blue stone, and a gold charm bracelet with a blue stone. Margaret was carrying an eyeglass case with a Huckleberry Hound design on it.

-- On the Show: — Trump talks about suspending habeas corpus, a mayor is arrested for protesting, and much of the country shrugs. We explain how normalization is the point—and how authoritarianism doesn't need shock, just your resignation. — From judges being stalked to school boards under threat, we unpack what modern civil war actually looks like—and how the U.S. may already be in one. — Trump's team is openly considering prosecuting Democrats. — Trump's orange spray tan gets more protection from Republicans than the Constitution. A student asks why he's orange—and a GOP rep panics. — We ask the uncomfortable question: what if Trump doesn't even need to finish his term? We explain how Trump was always the vehicle, not the destination—and why J.D. Vance is the backup plan. — RFK Jr. casually admits Trump took $100 million from Big Pharma—and Trump nods. Then the pharma stocks go up. But sure, he “can't be bought.” — MAGA civil war explodes as Trump names a new Surgeon General who's too moderate for the fringe. Anti-vaxxers turn on Trump. RFK Jr. branded controlled opposition. — Rand Paul goes rogue, saying Trump shouldn't accept Qatar's $400 million plane, and admitting tariffs hurt Americans. Somewhere, Jesse Watters faints. — Friday Feedback returns: We respond to questions about the MAGA economy, Trump's spiral, the illusion of civil discourse, and the future of this show. -- On the Bonus Show: Right-wing reactions to Trump getting gifted a $400 million plane from Qatar, and much more...

I've connected as deeply with my partners in a wild, intense, thrash of an encounter as we have in hours-long micro-movements. Slow. Soft. Maybe even more deeply in the softness. So many people rush through penetration. The average sexual encounter is—actually the majority of them—are under 10 minutes. ANYONE rushing through sex is afraid of going deep. Of really connecting and being seen. In slower, softer sex, there is no hiding. You reveal—and your partner sees—every millimeter, every cell of you. It's like being split open and every dark nook and cranny of your being is exposed to the most radiant, healing light. These multi-hour experiences have been some of the most powerful of my life. Hours go by like minutes. Nothing is rushed. Everything is savored. We enter into a trance and connect in multiple dimensions. It's interstellar sex. And I'll tell you all about what that's like for me in today's episode. A soft fuck is usually by default a slow fuck. A soft and slow fuck expands time. Nothing is rushed. Everything is savored.   Hours go by like minutes. We enter into a trance and connect in multiple dimensions. It's interstellar sex.

If you've ever felt lost after a setback or unsure how to pivot into your next big chapter, this one's for you. I'm sitting down with Steve Herz—talent agent, career coach, author, and a master at reinvention—to talk about how getting rejected from a dream job led him to build one of the most successful careers in media and personal development. From taking the calls no one else wanted, to turning soft skills into leadership superpowers, Steve breaks down the communication tools that actually move the needle (hint: it's not your résumé). This episode is a masterclass in turning “no” into your greatest opportunity—and creating a life and career on your terms. In This Episode You Will Learn Rejection can redirect you toward your most aligned success path. Soft skills matter more than technical skills for advancement. Build influence through authority, warmth, and energy (AWE). Confidence grows when you take uncomfortable but strategic action. Culture transformation starts with effective private communication. Don't wait—reinvent, reach out, and create new opportunities.
