Adam's on the front porch watching one of those Oklahoma sunsets that make you forgive the state for everything else. Dave pulls up. Walks toward the house, chest out, confident, ready to record. Adam asks the only question that matters: did you bring the equipment? He did not. New baby syndrome. Joshua got his first bath that night, Lady Pamela's still on the mend and bending over a tub isn't on the menu yet, and somewhere between bathing the kids and getting out the door, the recording gear stayed home. So Dave logged a solid hour of windshield time driving back and forth across town to fetch it. The baby's worth it. Six days old and already back to birth weight, sleeping three hours at a stretch, an almost unfairly easy kid for a man who's had colicky ones before.The pour is a curveball: Saltire, a 14-year independent bottling distilled at Tomar, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. It's a Speyside, but nobody at the table would've guessed it. It drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, like it grew up near the ocean. The notes promise polished leather, dried cherries, tobacco, and, if you add water, burnt sugar, hazelnut, and "speckled chocolate milk," a phrase that derailed the conversation for a solid minute because nobody could agree what speckled chocolate milk is supposed to be. Cheers to Jesus. We're on the winning side.Then Adam reaches past the planned backbiting episode, grabs Francis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs off the shelf, and lands on something better: the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th.Here's the hook that got him. The Church only celebrates three birthdays. Jesus. Our Lady. And John the Baptist. Everybody else gets honored on the day they die, because for a saint that's the real birthday, the day they enter eternal life. So why John? The tradition says all three were born free from original sin. John wasn't conceived without it like Jesus and Mary, but he was sanctified in the womb when he leapt at the sound of Our Lady's voice at the Visitation. Born clean. St. Augustine treats it as a settled tradition, and if the Fathers are in, the guys are in.The logic of the date is the part that'll stick with you. June 24th rides the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and from there the light starts to wane all the way down to Christmas and the winter solstice, when it turns and climbs again. John said it himself: I must decrease, so that He must increase. That's not just a calendar coincidence. It's a map of the soul. The more room you take up in your own heart, the less there is for Christ. If you want Him to be king there, you've got to get out of the way.Then the fun: how to actually live it. Put it on the calendar and get to Mass. Pray the Benedictus as a family and light a candle. Build a bonfire on the eve, John the Baptist is one of the three fires on the Catholic year. Feed the kids honey sticks and, if you're brave, dried crickets, locusts and wild honey, desert food. Make it the anchor of your summer. This is the Establish pillar in the flesh, the small traditions that hand your kids an identity they'll carry for life. Catholic spice. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave forgets the recording equipment thanks to "new baby syndrome," and logs an hour of windshield time driving back for itJoshua Niles at six days old, back to birth weight and sleeping three hours at a stretch, an unfairly easy babyLady Pamela still recovering, and a dad bathing the kids to take the load offThe aside on Irish twins, baby formula, and why breastfeeding affects fertilityElizabeth Niles getting blessed by Pope Leo, and which popes "bless with their kisses"Whiskey of the week: Saltire 14-year, an independent bottling distilled at Tomar, first-fill Oloroso sherry caskA Speyside that drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, and the mystery of "speckled chocolate milk"Dave's wheat experiment, tripling the planting and cutting it by hand with a scythe, and the open call for a small-scale wheat-farming expert to email the showThe broody-hen saga, abandoned eggs, four surprise chicks, and Adam's "apartment" trick for relocating broody hens at nightWhy the episode pivoted from a planned backbiting topic to living liturgicallyFrancis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs as a source for feast-day livingThe Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist on June 24thWhy the Church celebrates only three birthdays: Jesus, Mary, and John the BaptistThe tradition that all three were born free from original sin, and John sanctified in the womb at the VisitationWho John was: son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Zechariah struck mute, "no one greater born of women"The small-t tradition that John's parents died young and he was raised in the desert by angelsJohn as the forerunner and the "best man" escorting the bride to Christ the BridegroomFifteen churches dedicated to John the Baptist in ancient Constantinople aloneJohn as patron of tailors, shepherds, and masons, and why each one fitsWhy June 24th: the summer solstice and "I must decrease so that He must increase" as a map of the soulThe real reason it's the 24th and not the 25th: the Roman calendar counting backward from the kalendsWeiser's pushback on the idea that the feast was a baptized pagan partyJust how high this feast ranked in the early Church: three Masses, abstaining from servile work, and a 14-day fast prescribed by a German synod in 1022The other two feasts of John: the Decollation (Aug 29) and the East's celebration of his conception (Sep 23)St. John Paul II on Christ as door, vine, mother hen, and actual BridegroomTier-one celebration: put feast days on your calendar and get to Holy MassJoseph Pieper on a true feast requiring the divine and abundanceFamily traditions like pierogies, and how they hand kids a Catholic and ethnic identityPraying the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79) as a family and lighting a candleTier-two celebration: a bonfire on the eve, the three fires of the Catholic year, and feeding the kids crickets and honey sticksTier-three celebration: making the feast the anchor of your family's summer vacationREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs by Francis X.

A conversation with Kula Yoga Fest founder Laura Erickson about yoga, community, nature, and the retreat-style experience of Camp Kula 2026.In this episode of The Midlife Spirituality Project, I'm joined by Laura Erickson, founder of Kula Yoga Fest, for a conversation about yoga, community, nature, and the power of gathering in person.Kula Yoga Fest 2026 is becoming Camp Kula — an all-inclusive, retreat-style yoga festival taking place July 24–26, 2026 at Ogontz White Mountain Resort in Lyman, New Hampshire. The weekend includes yoga, wellness sessions, nature, community, farm-to-table meals, live music, lake time, hiking, and space to slow down and reconnect.In our conversation, Laura shares the heart behind Kula Yoga Fest and why this gathering is about so much more than yoga classes. It is about belonging. It is about stepping away from the noise of everyday life. It is about being surrounded by teachers, practices, nature, and community that help you remember who you are.We also talk about why in-person experiences matter so much, especially in a world where many of us are craving deeper connection, meaningful conversation, and spaces where we can be fully ourselves.This episode is also special because I'll be teaching at Kula Yoga Fest this year. I'll be offering Candlelit Slow Flow Vinyasa and a Discovering Your Dharma workshop — both designed to help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom already within you.In This Episode, We Talk AboutThe story and heart behind Kula Yoga FestWhat the word “kula” means and why community is central to yogaHow Kula Yoga Fest is becoming a retreat/festival hybrid for 2026Why gathering in person can be so healingWhat makes Camp Kula feel like a wellness summer camp for the soulThe importance of nature, rest, play, and shared practiceWhat attendees can expect from the weekendWhy yoga is not just something we do on the matThe power of slowing down enough to hear yourself againKatie's offerings at Kula Yoga Fest: Candlelit Slow Flow Vinyasa and Discovering Your DharmaWhy This Conversation MattersSo many of us are craving something deeper than another class, another event, or another thing to add to the calendar.We are craving spaces where we can exhale.Spaces where we can reconnect with our bodies, our breath, our inner wisdom, and one another.That is what makes Kula Yoga Fest feel so aligned with the larger conversation we've been having here on the podcast about coming home to yourself.Sometimes coming home happens in stillness.Sometimes it happens on the mat.Sometimes it happens in nature.And sometimes it happens when we gather with others who are also seeking more peace, more meaning, more connection, and more truth.Listen If You AreCraving deeper communityInterested in yoga retreats or wellness festivalsCurious about Kula Yoga Fest 2026Looking for a meaningful summer experienceFeeling disconnected from yourself or othersWanting to spend more time in natureLonging for rest, reflection, movement, and connectionInterested in attending a retreat-style yoga festival in New HampshireLooking for spaces that support spiritual growth and self-discoveryResources MentionedLearn more about Kula Yoga Fest:https://www.kulayogafest.com/aboutDiscount Code: UNDERSTARS26If this conversation speaks to something you have been craving — more connection, more space, more community, more time in nature, or a deeper relationship with yourself — I would love to invite you to learn more about Kula Yoga Fest.And if you'll be there this July, please come find me.

Near-Death Experiences, Psychedelics, and the Truth About Consciousness with Dr. Eben AlexanderCan consciousness exist independent of the brain?In this fascinating return conversation, JJ sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, near-death experiencer, and bestselling author Eben Alexander to explore one of the biggest questions facing science, spirituality, and human healing today.Drawing from his own extraordinary near-death experience during a week-long coma caused by bacterial meningitis, Dr. Alexander challenges conventional assumptions about consciousness, memory, healing, and the role of the brain itself.Together, JJ and Dr. Alexander explore the intersection of neuroplasticity, psychedelics, meditation, trauma healing, survival states, and spiritual awakening. They discuss why so many people remain stuck despite years of therapy, why conventional psychiatric approaches may fall short, and what practices can help people access deeper states of transformation.This conversation dives into the profound possibility that healing may not come from fixing the brain—but from reconnecting to the greater consciousness beyond it.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why Dr. Alexander believes consciousness is not created by the brainWhat his near-death experience revealed about life, death, and the soulThe surprising science behind psilocybin and ego dissolutionHow meditation and psychedelics may affect the brain's default mode networkWhy fear of death can keep the body trapped in survival modeThe connection between healing, consciousness, and neuroplasticityWhat near-death experiences consistently teach about love and purposeThe role of meditation in expanding awareness and intuitionScientific evidence supporting non-local consciousnessHow childhood wounds, identity, and ego influence our experience of realityWhy personal experience often changes people more than data alonePractical ways to begin exploring consciousness for yourselfKey Takeaway"The deepest lesson from near-death experiences is remarkably simple: Love is what matters.

What is really happening when we pray? The Zohar reveals that tefillah is not words rising into empty air — it's a yichud, a sacred union between the Shekhinah and her Beloved, drawn upward through our lips. A Kabbalistic teaching on prayer, intimacy with the Divine, and the hidden architecture of Shacharit, Mincha, and Maariv.In this teaching, we open a passage from the Zohar where Rabbi Shimon reveals the secret life of prayer. Prayer, he tells us, is not petition — it is unification. Our words don't simply rise; they weave the upper worlds together, lifting the Shekhinah toward Zeir Anpin and drawing divine light back down into creation.We'll explore:Why the early pious ones sat in silence for an hour before they dared to speak to GodThe three daily prayers as three distinct ascents — Shacharit through the name El (Chesed), Mincha through Elohim (Gevurah), and Maariv through the Tetragrammaton (Tiferet)The secret of em tishkevun — “the mother who lies between” — and what it teaches about the feminine and masculine within prayerWhy Eliezer's silence at the well is really a teaching about Zeir Anpin waiting for the soulThe verse from Isaiah that reframes everything: before they call, I am already answeringWhy flowing prayer is the sign that heaven has already received youThe unification of Yud-Hei-Vav-Hei and Adonai — and why their gematria equals AmenThis is a teaching for anyone who senses that prayer is meant to be more than recitation. Come in slowly. Receive it the way the Zohar asks us to receive prayer itself — with preparation, with presence, with awe.Key Takeaways:Prayer is yichud, not petition — the sacred union of Shekhinah and Zeir AnpinPreparation is the prayer — the hour of silence is what makes the words landFlow is the signal — when prayer pours out of you, it has already been receivedThe three daily prayers map to three Sefirot and three divine namesForeplay of the soul — there is no real intimacy with the Divine without the warming, the arriving, the kavana

What happens when everything you built burns down—and you rise anyway? In this deeply powerful episode of Iconic Leadership, Karissa Adkins sits down with transformational leader, embodiment coach, and multi–best-selling author Angel Cottrell for a raw, expansive conversation about divine collapse, embodied leadership, and why heart-led business is not a weakness—but the ultimate strategic advantage. This episode is a permission slip for women who are done performing leadership and are ready to become the woman who can hold her vision. Angel shares her story of radical reinvention, the breakdowns that became her breakthroughs, and why true transformation requires ownership, nervous system regulation, and choosing yourself—even when it's uncomfortable. If you've ever felt like your business, leadership, or life is asking you to evolve… this episode will meet you right there.✨ What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy transformation isn't about discovering who you are—but creating who you choose to becomeAngel's powerful story of her “divine collapse” and how everything falling apart became the foundation for her next levelThe truth about why women get stuck in the mess—and how to turn it into a messageWhy business is a living, breathing entity with a mind, body, heart, and soulThe lie that strategy must be heartless—and what becomes possible when leaders lead from the heartHow ownership restores power and ends the victim narrativeWhy patterns repeating in your life may be proof of your evolution—not failureThe difference between perfection, embodiment, and real leadershipWhat women can expect to feel, release, and step into at the Rise event? Key Takeaway Moments? “If you don't go within, you go without.” Angel explains why avoiding inner work eventually costs you everything—personally and professionally.? Breakdown is not punishment—it's preparation. The collapse you didn't choose may be clearing space for the leader you're becoming.? Ownership is the moment power returns. When you fully own your story, you get to stand on it—not be buried by it.? Heart-led leadership is not anti-profit. You don't have to choose between soul and success. Healthy businesses require both love and boundaries.? Familiar patterns returning doesn't mean you failed. If it feels familiar but foreign, it's because you are not the same woman anymore.?

What's the one gift you'd ask for above all others? In Psalm 27, King David reveals his ultimate request—and it changes everything.Surrounded by enemies, facing betrayal, and dealing with impossible circumstances, David could have asked God for safety, victory, or vindication. Instead, he asked for the one thing that transcends all of life's chaos: God's presence.In this episode of Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church, Pastor Doug Benedict unpacks Psalm 27 and challenges us to examine our own hearts: How much do we truly desire God's presence? Have we made our home in Him, or are we too busy "working the fields" of Christian service?In This Episode:David's profound "one thing" request in the midst of crisisWhy the presence of God is the safest space for the human soulThe three key actions of dwelling: Dwell, Gaze, and SeekRecovering "holy attention" in our distracted worldHow David asked for presence, but God gave something better—a PersonThe invitation to "come home" to Jesus, wherever you are in your journeyPractical steps to make your home in God as He makes His home in youKey Scripture: Psalm 27 (full chapter)Big Idea: We find our home with God, when He makes His home in us!Featured Quote:"The presence of Jesus is the safest space for your soul.

This is a Soul Sync Christmas Special, and I'm revisiting an archive episode that instantly made me smile.Christmas has a way of slowing everything down. Nature goes quiet. We pause. We reflect. And for many of us, questions about life, meaning, and those we love — both here and beyond — naturally come to the surface.My guest is Simon Bown, host of the podcast Our Paranormal Afterlife, someone who has spent decades openly and thoughtfully exploring one central question:Is there proof of life after death?Simon approaches the paranormal not with blind belief, but with curiosity, integrity, and a genuine investigative mindset. In this conversation, he shares his own experiences alongside some of the most compelling stories he's encountered across hundreds of interviews — from afterlife evidence and reincarnation, to past-life regression, UFO encounters, and the strange phenomenon of missing time.It's a conversation that sits comfortably in the grey area — reflective rather than sensational — and feels especially fitting for the quieter days of the Christmas period.In this episode, we explore:Simon's lifelong fascination with the paranormal and the afterlifeA striking moment of evidence through mediumship involving his grandfatherA vivid UFO encounter and why some experiences feel “interdimensional”Missing time, markings, and abduction-style accountsChildren with past-life memories and reincarnation researchHow past-life regression works — and why imagination may be the doorwayWhy Earth is often described as a “hard school” for the soulThe emotional and healing impact of exploring past livesThis is an episode for listening slowly — perhaps with a cup of tea, during a winter walk, or in that peaceful space between Christmas and New Year.You don't need to believe anything. Just listen with an open heart.✨ Get in touch If you have a story, experience, or idea you'd love to share on Soul Sync, I'd love to hear from you.

From Lonely to Angry: Understanding Incels (And How Good Men Lose Their Way)Some men don't start off angry. They start off lonely. Rejected. Invisible. Neglected in childhood.But when the pain festers long enough, it turns into something darker: the incel mindset.In this raw and unflinching episode, Faisal, Chuck, and Ari dive into one of the internet's most controversial subcultures — involuntary celibates (incels). These are men who want relationships but can't get them, and the frustration has curdled into isolation, shame, and sometimes rage.But here's what most people miss: Incels share many traits with Nice Guys. Both crave connection yet fear rejection. Both seek approval from women and feel powerless when they don't get it. The difference? Nice Guys hide their resentment. Incels express it — just not face-to-face.In this episode, we explore:What incels actually are (and why this phenomenon is growing)The mental health crisis: depression, anxiety, and isolationWhy some men didn't procreate throughout history (evolutionary psychology perspective)How the internet created echo chambers that trap lonely menFaisal's powerful story of coaching an incel — and what he learnedThe victim mindset: Why identifying as "involuntarily celibate" keeps you stuckThe "black pill" belief system and incel terminology (Chads, Staceys, and nihilism)How Nice Guys and incels differ: Hope vs. giving upThe generational shift: Why young men aren't pursuing relationships like they used toEconomic reality: When you can't afford independence, relationships feel impossibleChuck's controversial take: Is sex really the answer? (Spoiler: No)Why comparison culture and social media poison your soulThe trap of expecting life to hand you perfectionHow resentment and victimhood become a prisonThe hard truth? Being an incel isn't involuntary. It's a choice to stay stuck in resentment, victimhood, and isolation. There IS a path forward — but it requires rejecting the black pill, doing the work, and choosing growth over bitterness.This isn't about attacking incels. It's about understanding how good men lose their way — and showing them there's another path. One that leads to connection, purpose, and power.If you're stuck, isolated, or angry at the world — this episode is for you.Like. Comment. Subscribe. And share this with someone who needs to know: You're not powerless. You're not doomed. There's a way out.P.S. — Yes, we had technical difficulties with Faisal's internet. Chuck and Ari carried on like champions. And no, Chuck did NOT ruin sex for everyone... or did he?RetrySubscribe to the Nice Guy Show newsletter to get tips and insights on how to lead a high-value life:https://niceguyshow.com/Connect with Faisal Khokhar:https://masculine.co/https://instagram.com/coachfaisalkhttps://youtube.com/@masculinecharismaConnect with Chuck Chapman: https://chuckchapman.com/https://instagram.com/chuckchapman.ma/Connect with Dr. Ari Graff:https://drarigraff.com/https://draribgraff.com/register [divorce recovery program]https://youtube.com/@AriGraff

Jess Fenton explores the art of going straight to the pinnacle in business — bypassing the old, linear ways of working and stepping directly into the highest energetic frequency of your vision.She unpacks the difference between the grooved path and the pinnacle path, revealing how entrepreneurs can work with synchronicity, intuition, and multi-dimensional awareness to collapse time and create from a place of expansion, not effort.Through stories of clients pitching to icons, team dynamics in corporate high-performance, and the link between synchronicity and hope, Jess shows how to hold your business inside the highest frequency — where rejection can't exist, and everything you do becomes its own reward.The difference between the linear verse and the multi-dimensional universe in businessHow to activate “pinnacle energy” and skip incremental growthWhy synchronicity is tied to hope — and how to keep it alive through every dark night of the soulThe invisible mechanics of the subconscious (including the Neville Goddard ladder experiment)Why aiming for the highest version of your work magnetises higher-standard clients and collaborationsHow to become the kind of person who only plays in pinnacle frequencies“Even if the outcome doesn't arrive the way you thought — if you're operating from the pinnacle, the process itself is the reward. That's where the synchronicity lives.”To go deeper 1:1, email jess@goinward.co.ukwww.goinward.co.ukwww.instagram.com/goinward

Episode Summary:I distinctly remember sitting in the back row of sixth grade art class in Jonesboro, Arkansas and saying to myself, “I am NOT CREATIVE!” I couldn't draw a lick. While my friends brought forth beautiful sketches and lovely paintings their parents would proudly hang on the refrigerator, I looked down at my work with disdain. My parents should burn this. I am not creative.That thought stayed with me for decades, until I realized I was in fact creative, just in different ways. I still can't draw or paint to save my life, but I love the creative process of writing and creating meaningful conversations. Regardless of your artistic aspirations and talents, “We were created to be creators. At its deepest heart, creativity is meant to serve and evoke beauty,” writes Irish poet and seer John O'Donohue.Creativity brings the ideal into the real. Maybe that is why Fyodor Dostoevsky proclaimed, “Beauty will save the world,” hinting that the way things currently are aren't the way they will always be.Whether you realize it or not, you are creative! You were born with gifts and talents that only you can give the world. The first step towards claiming this Divine inheritance is recognizing that you are a sacred, creative being. As today's podcast guest Ally Markotich reveals, “When we claim ourselves as creators, our life becomes a creative adventure; even mundane moments become ripe with possibility for transformation.”The mystical and often illusive creative flow weaves through every human heart. How do you capture her presence? What sparks your creative spirit? As Caitlin Matthews writes in her book The Celtic Spirit, “There are many ideas and inspirations wandering throughout the world. They seem to be shaken like stardust over everything, to be caught in handfuls by those who are ready to receive them.”Our task as co-creators is to join God in bringing forth the beautiful future God has promised. To help us in that eternal work, I am joined on the podcast by Ally Markotich.In this episode we discuss:How creativity is a form of resistance to dominator agendas and beliefsWhy authoritarian leaders are terrified of artistsHow to awaken your inner, creative soulThe relationship between spirituality and creativityHow seeing God in female form opens your heart to the beautifulWhy beauty mattersBio:Ally Markotich is an artist, poet and Creative Formation Practitioner. Ally is the creator of Soul Kindling LLC, an online creative respite where she guides her clients to express their truest colors and gently encourages their creative growth. Ally is certified as a Red Thread Guide and Intentional Creativity® Educator from Musea under the guidance of artist, Shiloh Sophia. She is certified in Spiritual Formation from Columbia Theological Seminary and is a Holy Fire Reiki Master in the tradition of Mikao Usui.

The Selfishness Addiction – Yes, you read that right. We're diving deep into how an addiction to selfishness can shape our behaviors and strain our relationships. We're peeling back the layers of why we sometimes confuse self-preservation with self-centeredness.Understanding Freedom – We start by exploring the true meaning of freedom. It's not just about breaking free from unwanted behaviors like porn addiction; it's about finding peace, rest, and joy. We're talking about aligning with the soul's fundamental needs, as taught by Jesus himself.From Selfish to Selfless – We've all been there, right? Putting ourselves first, fast, and completely. But here's the kicker: the more we focus on ourselves, the less satisfied we feel. It's a paradox that we unpack with humor, honesty, and a touch of humility.A New Perspective – Imagine realizing that your whole life has been a race to put yourself first, only to end up feeling empty. That's the story of a Christian brother who woke up to his selfishness addiction. It's a powerful moment of vulnerability that might just change the way you see your own life.Growth and Healing – This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it's about finding the path to healing. We discuss the importance of taking small steps towards giving, towards others, and towards a life filled with genuine connection.So, if you've ever felt caught in the cycle of coping and surviving rather than truly living, this episode is for you. It's time to break free from the chains of selfishness and step into a life of selfless joy.Topics Covered in this Episode:Selfishness addiction and its impact on behavior and relationshipsUnderstanding the difference between healthy self-care and selfishnessSelfishness driven by fear and focus on one's own desires and needsThe concept of freedom and its relation to the deeper needs of individualsThe importance of aligning with the fundamental needs of the soulThe distinction between healthy self-awareness and selfishnessThe detrimental impact of selfishness on individuals and their relationshipsThe immature and wounded nature of selfishness addictionThe natural order of relationships and the importance of learning to be selfless while still caring for oneselfThe insight and honesty of admitting and addressing selfishness addictionMore Resources:Gateway to Freedom 3-Day Intensive for MenDoctorMarriage.orgFind a CounselorRelated Podcasts:Self-Care vs. SelfishnessAbout Your Emotional Connecting SkillsIt's All About Me!----------Please rate and review our podcast: Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our YouTube channel.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/pure-sex-radio/donations

As long you are separate, you are identified with that which is in time and space. And that which is in time and space is changing. You are identified with something which is changing all the time, and that has inherent within it fear. So inherent within your identification with separateness is fear. The freedom from fear comes from the identification with that in you which is not the separate forms, which is not stuff, but lies behind stuff. And the minute you identify with that, you are no longer afraid.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
