Podcasts about Sorry Not Sorry

Coming out can be such a complicated and difficult thing for so many of us. Let's talk about what's involved, how often we have to do it, and why we do it at all... and how the most important thing is that you do it when and how is right for you. Nobody else gets to tell you how to do it! Storyboard artist Nazul "Suli" Sobrino returns to discuss jumping all the way in and how spite is a great motivator! Gimme those goosebumps!

A few jokes about shirts and travel fade fast into a sharp conversation about what really creates champions: coaching lineage, foundations, and the mindset to break another person's will. We talk about why great coaches rarely emerge alone, tracing the tree from mentors to protégés and how culture transmits the skills that outlast any ruleset. Fancy drills come and go; repeatable movement, distance control, and conditioning keep winning. That lens reframes today's game, too—less about flash, more about pressure, and knowing when to keep feeding the one thing your opponent can't solve.We also confront two uncomfortable truths. First, not every win is a win. In must‑win moments, take the W. But scraping past a weak opponent is a red flag, not momentum. Second, rituals help—until they own you. The best athletes build reliable routines and stay flexible when chaos hits. Along the way, we name the two loneliest moments in sport (the walk to the ring, and the walk back after a loss) and why short memories and honest analysis matter more than hype.Then we zoom out. If Taekwondo wants a real leap, it needs incentives: sustainable funding for developing talent, event purses that matter, and a professional league structure fans can follow. Imagine small, capped rosters, cross‑national recruitment, consistent storylines, and prize money that keeps athletes training full‑time. That shift would attract better athletes, extend careers, and turn sporadic brilliance into sustained excellence. Until then, foundations and culture carry the sport; with real money and a league, they could carry it further.If this conversation got you thinking, share it with a coach or teammate, hit follow, and leave a review with the one barrier you think Taekwondo should break next.

Birthdays can be rough for many people, but they can be extra difficult for trans people pre-transition... because why is a waking death worth celebrating? We discuss how tough they were, and how discombobulating it was during transition when that all started to change. Storyboard artist Nazul "Suli" Sobrino joins us to discuss how there's so many good things, and sometimes there's no other option. Why would you give a five year old a mug for a gift? Persistence in existence is resistance.

So what happens when trans youth are old enough for puberty blockers? What do they have to go through to get access to that care? Let me tell you how difficult it was for me, as an adult, and you'll maybe see how many barriers trans kids actually face. And we discuss the lengths good parents will go to in order to keep their kids safe. Karla, the cis mom of a trans kid, returns to discuss finding your humanity. Trans care is more important than cis mistakes, and children are people, not property!

This episode is an apology, but also my reasoning for why I needed to take a break. I have been out of touch with myself, but also navigating this thing we call life. In this episode, I give you all a small snippet of more lessons learned and topics I never knew I needed to talk about. I am so happy to be back and can not wait to engage in these hard conversations with guests as well as navigate through them on my own...She is back!

Trans kids exist, and they need your support. No, they're not getting surgeries... but cis kids and intersex kids sure are! Hopefully that bothers you, but it sure doesn't bother the people trying to take away the literally lifesaving care that trans kids need. Get a whole mountain of facts within, so you finally understand what's really going on (and why the entire legitimate professional healthcare industry is opposed to outlawing care for trans kids). Karla, the cis mom of a trans kid, joins us to discuss how you should give your kids agency!

So what does the science say about trans people and sports? You're not gonna believe this (yes you will), but it's entirely on the side of... trans people. So are elite cis women athletes. So what's the reason behind this push to keep trans women out of women's sports? Bigotry! And yes, we have proof (they've actually admitted it). Also a whole lot of sexism and the belief cis men are simply the best at everything and get super mad when they're not (there's proof of this too). Zoe Aurora Slater, former trainer of competing powerlifters and bodybuilders, returns to discuss the physics of photography and straight hesitancy. Be open to finding yourself along the way, friends. And fight for trans people's rights to compete in sports with our true genders!

Trans people in sports?! Huge if true. Republicans would have you believe this is a national emergency of the utmost unfairness, and for some reason a lot of otherwise good allies fall into the "well I just don't know about sports..." trap. So let's talk about where the origins of policing trans bodies in sports comes from (spoilers: it's literally the nazis), and how "unfair advantages" are actually what sports are all about. And let's talk about how trans women don't have those "advantages" anyway. You're gonna learn!

Geena wants to know which song best describes you? Right now she is in her sorry not sorry era, so the song that fits her is Demi Lovato "Sorry Not Sorry"

This letter pulses with emotion as Paul defends his ministry, confronts critics, and pleads with the church to embrace true gospel leadership marked by humility, weakness, and grace. In this season, we explore the drama, pain, and beauty of a pastor fighting for the hearts of his people—and the God who reconciles us through it all.

Let's wrap up discussion on this last batch of 2022 US Trans Survey data!

It's been a minute since Alyssa's been here–she's been on a vacation and doing some really cool stuff in the entertainment world, but I'm sure you all miss her. After all, you don't tune in to Ben Jackson Sorry Not Sorry! Well, a few times over the years, Alyssa has actually been the guest on this show instead of the host, and I thought it would be fun to give you what you want–some of Alyssa's best moments here on Sorry Not Sorry.

Physical touch is something I've struggled with for most of my life, because it's invariably tangled up in my gender dysphoria, and I was so surprised to see how it all shifted for me after transition. And I'm not alone! I've seen so many trans and nonbinary people struggle with it, so I ran a survey to get your thoughts, and you flooded me with them! This week I'm going to discuss my own complicated feelings on the topic, and then over the next two weeks we're going to dive into the wealth of data you all sent me to see if we can find some commonalities! Painter and color designer Erin Rodriguez joins us to discuss being in tune with your body, and how we're NOT going to discuss the cookie. No crappy sandwiches!

In this episode of the Manly Deeds Podcast, we open up about the emotional growth of Black men, especially around something many of us were never taught: how to apologize. We unpack why saying “I'm sorry” can feel so foreign, why genuine praise is rare, and how that silence affects our confidence and relationships. Then, we get into the tightrope of telling the truth in a politically correct world. When is honesty helpful, and when does it hurt? This one's raw, necessary, and full of real-life lessons. You don't want to miss this episode. It's the #ManlyDeedPodcast.

Wir kennen alle das Gefühl: Sich in Grund und Boden schämen, die Scham davor, sich wirklich zu zeigen oder vielleicht auch die Angewohnheit, sich immer einmal zu oft zu entschuldigen. SORRY! Scham ist so ein großes Thema für Steffi persönlich und ein großer Bestandteil unserer patriarchalen Gesellschaft. Aber wem nutzt die Scham, was können wir von der Scham lernen und wann muss sie die Seite wechseln? Gemeinsam mit Autorin [Anika Landsteiner](https://www.instagram.com/anikalandsteiner/)ergründet Steffi diesmal ein Thema, was sich durch unserer Leben zieht, stark isolieren kann und manchmal verschwindet, wenn man nur offen und ehrlich darüber redet.

Join health and science journalist Danielle Elliot as she investigates the rise of women recently diagnosed with ADHD. Listen to Climbing the Walls now.In this episode of In It, hosts Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek welcome Christina Cipriano, PhD, MEd. Dr. Chris is a psychologist, and an associate professor at the Yale University Child Study Center. She is also the author of Be Unapologetically Impatient, which comes out this summer.Dr. Chris has four children, including a daughter who has ADHD and sensory challenges and a son with a rare, regressive disease. She has given a lot of thought to the idea of apologizing when you have nothing to be sorry for. What can we say instead of “I'm sorry”?
