For each scenario, we'll provide multiple natural alternatives that will help you sound more like a native speaker.You'll learn how to replace awkward phrases like "I am experiencing significant fatigue at this moment" with natural expressions like "I'm exhausted" or "I'm beat." We'll cover everyday speech situations including making suggestions, apologizing, describing food, expressing urgency, and much more.Whether you're struggling with sounding too formal in workplace conversations or just want to connect more authentically with native speakers, this episode will give you practical, ready-to-use alternatives that will transform how you communicate in English. Join us to leave textbook English behind and embrace the natural, conversational style that will help you connect more easily with native speakers.If you want to sign up for the free English email newsletter, go to https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/newsletter

On today's episode of The Steve Gruber Show, Steve talks with Andrew Beardslee, Vice President of Government Affairs at Michigan Retailers. The focus: a rumored Senate delivery tax that has advocates for the disabled speaking out in strong opposition. Beardslee explains why this proposed tax would disproportionately hurt vulnerable communities, especially individuals who rely on delivery services for essential goods. Together, they break down the hidden costs of such policies, the burden on Michigan families and small businesses, and why lawmakers should think twice before pushing another tax on consumers already stretched thin.

Recently, a group of world-leading scientists called for a halt on research to create ‘mirror life' microbes amid concerns that the synthetic organisms would present an ‘unprecedented risk' to life on Earth. Ian Sample tells Madeleine Finlay about why this work initially seemed exciting for scientists and what the risks of it continuing could be. Kate Adamala, assistant professor of genetics, cell biology and development at the University of Minnesota, describes what made her change her mind about pursuing her own research on mirror cells.

Canada's real estate industry is officially in crisis mode.In this week's episode, we break down why some of the country's most powerful developers — names like Polygon, Westbank, Beedie, and Mosaic — have joined forces to publicly plead for help. From record-breaking drops in pre-construction sales to massive project cancellations and widespread layoffs, the development industry is sounding the alarm louder than ever.Why now? Because new housing starts are collapsing. Because financing has dried up. And because if nothing changes, tens of thousands more jobs are on the line.So what are they asking for? A controversial — and potentially game-changing — solution: lifting the foreign buyer ban to unlock critical investment capital. Is this the lifeline the industry needs, or just another band-aid on a broken system?We explore both sides of this heated issue and propose alternative solutions, including government-backed construction financing to ensure new homes can still be built for Canadians — by Canadians.Plus:

Aurel (SO/SP 6w7 693) experienced a major stroke in early adulthood—an event that unraveled his sense of self and fractured his memory. What happens when your personal history goes missing? In this conversation, Aurel reflects on the slow, painful reconstruction of identity and how trauma rewrites not just the past, but the present narrative. We talk about radical empathy, activism, and the emotional labor of confronting systemic injustice while piecing together who you are. This is a deep dive into Type 6 themes—humility, doubt, the search for expertise, and the existential anxiety that rides alongside all of it. Aurel also shares how role-playing games became a surprising avenue for self-exploration, offering both escape and insight. Gender, memory, social responsibility, and the long arc of healing—it's all here, held together by a steady curiosity about what it means to tell the truth, especially when the truth feels scattered.LINKSLearn at The Enneagram Schoolhttps://theenneagramschool.com/Intro Coursehttps://www.theenneagramschool.com/intro-enneagram-courseGet Typedhttps://www.enneagrammer.com/Sinsomnia Podcast (Dreams)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sinsomnia/id1684154994House of Enneagramhttps://www.youtube.com/@houseofenneagram TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro05:45 - Grounding to a sense of reliable orientation as a core mental type carrying significant memory loss09:37 - Mosaic of identity: pieces of Aurel's life, "firming up" to actually get better attachments14:56 - Being 'proactively solid', having a passionate moral compass, feeling guilt backlash19:36 Anti-fascism, practicing good discernment, community care-taking21:01 "Can we put a time stamp on this so people who aren't white don't have to hear about how I learned to care about racism if they don't want to?"23:44 - Social core 6 'sounding the alarm' to this reality, searching for and spreading truth through the 'best information'31:55 - A fascination with information, 6 wing 7 'play mode', anti-arrogance of 6, "I don't want to be responsible for your orientation"35:17 - Navigating influence and value, proselytizing mode, anti-elitism and self-erasure of the 6-9 stem46:17 - Role-playing games as an artistic form to navigate different aspects of self and identity53:07 - Intersection of memory loss and identity, "none of us hold all of ourselves", not being certain of self-perceptions01:02:14 - Gender Identity, re-inventing yourself, the complexities of social labels, 6s ability to see the categories held by the collective mind01:11:44 - Gender expression through the sexual instinct, sexual blind 6 afraid of 'being caught', sexual versus social attunement, finding 'flavor' through the arts but having 3 last01:26:43 - OutroCREDITSInterview by Josh Lavine Edited by Kristen Oberly Music by Coma-Media from Pixabay Coma-Media: https://pixabay.com/users/coma-media-24399569/ Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/ --- #enneagram #enneagramtypes #enneagram6

In this milestone 200th episode, the tables are turned as Dr Amy Pearlman interviews The Penis Project's own Melissa Hadley Barrett. From wet hair and time zone mix-ups to powerful patient stories and favourite sex toys, this episode is a heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply honest look into what Melissa has learned after 200 interviews about penises, pleasure, relationships, and recovery. Amy has been a popular guest on The Penis Project and a friend and colleague to Melissa over the past few years and for something different the tables have turned, and Amy is interviewing Melissa to see what she has learnt being a part of The Penis Project community for 200 episodes and just under 5 years of posting. On the 14th of September the Penis Project will have been live for 5 years. This may not seem like a long time for most people but for Melissa it has been huge. Keeping the interviews coming and arranging editing and show notes etc. whilst running a busy growing practice has been hard but worth it, and she has learnt way more from her patients and interviewees than she thought possible.   Together, Melissa and Amy explore:  How a podcast that began during COVID lockdowns with Melissa and Dr Jo Milios (Physiotherapist) and then without realising became a global resource for men's health  Why it's time to stop joking about penises and start listening  The emotional side of male sexuality and how assumptions miss the mark  What men really want after prostate cancer (hint: it isn't just erections)  How patients have reshaped Melissa's clinical approach over time  Products that have changed lives—and a few that scared her husband  New conversations about sounding, Tantra, and intimacy beyond intercourse  What Melissa hopes to do with the next 200 episodes—and who she dreams she will interview next and her dream to be interviewed by….  In This Episode, We Cover:  How the podcast began as a way to help patients and became so much more  Learning from patients about loss, masculinity, and connection  Rethinking the urgency of "getting it up" and embracing broader definitions of intimacy  The importance of not making assumptions as clinicians  Sex toys and tools Melissa now recommends—and the ones she avoids  What a Tantra workshop has taught her about relationships  Sounding: safety, stigma, and why we need to talk about it  The power of podcasts to create change and community connection  Key Takeaways:  Empathy, humour and curiosity matter more than bravado  Real stories help others feel seen, supported, and less alone  Sexual health is about connection, not just erections  There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but there is always a way forward  Expert Insight from Melissa Hadley Barrett: "My goal is to open up the conversation. Whether it's about erectile dysfunction, sex after cancer, or pleasure in new ways. Men and their partners deserve honest support and practical options. This podcast has become my passion project, and it's changed how I practice. Most of all I want to thank the people who have let us interview them for sharing stories and teaching me so much I could never have learnt from a book or another health professional. I hope my patients and listeners realise how important they are to me, my growth as a human and as a health professional."  Useful Mentions:  FirmTech erection ring ("Fitbit for your dick")https://rshealth.com.au/shop/p/firmtech-techring , Manta by The Fun Factory  https://rshealth.com.au/shop/p/fun-factory-manta-deep-sea-blue   VaxAid pump – TGA approved hydro pump for ED  Tantra retreats by Sanctuary of Ananda  Beaming Beaver organic lubricant  My Ilo Australian-designed sex toys  Steve "The Poet Who Didn't Know It" and his book Words Woke Me    Resources & Links:  Book a telehealth consult with our sexual health nurse practitioners at Restorative Health Clinic  For more information check out our websites www.rshealth.com.au , www.makehardeasy.com.au and www.melissahadleybarrett.com.au   Listen & Subscribe  If you found this episode helpful, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast!

by Dr. MaryAnn Diorio July 26, 2025 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Saturday, July 26, 2025, and this is episode #10 in Series 2025. This episode is titled, “Sounding the Alarm." For the past few years, watchmen all over the world have been watching for the return of Jesus Christ in the cataclysmic event known as the Rapture. But not only have they been watching, they have been warning the world as the Lord has been revealing more and more signs of His soon return.In the Old Testament Book of Daniel, chapter 12, verse 9, the prophet Daniel inquired of the angel as to how the end of the world would transpire. The angel replied, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and sealed until the time of the end."Well, my friend, we are now in that time of the end! And the Lord is revealing to His watchmen, day by day, the meaning of the signs the world is experiencing.Perhaps the most significant of these signs is what is happening in the Middle East. Keep your eyes on Israel. Israel is God's timepiece. As goes Israel, so goes the world.Let's take a look at some of these endtime signs that were sealed up in Daniel's day but are now being revealed in ours. These signs indicate our Lord's return in the Rapture is at hand.1. MASS DECEPTION. When the disciples asked Jesus what would be the signs of the endtimes, the first thing Jesus listed was deception. Let's read the passage in Matthew 24: 23-24:"As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. 'Tell us,' they said, 'when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?' Jesus answered: 'Watch out that no one deceives you.'" (Matthew 24: 23-24 NIV).We are living in a day when it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish the truth from the lie. With advances in Artificial Intelligence, we are now able to manipulate images, voices, faces, and everything else in such a way as to distort who or what they really are and make them into what we want them to be. We create avatars, pictures of ourselves as we would like to look, not as we truly look. I find it very disturbing that one of the chief definitions of avatar is the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition that calls an avatar "the incarnation of a Hindu deity" A false god. This is DECEPTION.We are witnessing an increasing number of people claiming to be the Messiah and offering solutions to the problems of the world. In a desperate attempt to find answers, people are turning to spiritists, mediums, mystics, psychics, New Age leaders, and other occultists, not realizing that they are playing with fire and opening their lives to the demonic realm. 2. WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS. To my knowledge, there is currently a war or a threat of war in each of the four corners of the earth. Jesus warned us that this would be the case in the end times. Each day we hear increasing threats of a third world war, and, from the looks of things, we wonder if World War III has not already begun. 3.WIDESPREAD LAWLESSNESS. If you've watched the news lately, you've seen incidences of rioting in the streets, explosions on private property, and acts of arson that ignited widespread forest fires. Recently, a gang from a major nearby city invaded my small town and raced down one of our main streets on motorcycles. There were about 100 of them, and their exhibitions of lawlessness were beyond the pale. Their belligerent, rebellious actions forced other drivers off the road. The gang went through red lights, while doing flips, spins, and twirls with their motorcycles that would defy the most experienced stunt man. But as if obstructing traffic and endangering lives was not bad enough, the gang also assaulted an elderly couple who own a convenience store in our area, robbed their beverage case, and destroyed their property.

Here is the AI based conversation of my post:  You Don't Need A Strategy, Just A Handful Of Important Sounding Words.  It's funny listening to this discussions.  These AI speakers struggle with pure sarcasm and snarkiness.  This post really has no redeeming value than just poking fun at how we get caught up in these thing. But interestingly, they take what's intended to be humorous and extract some interesting insights and meaning.  Enjoy! Here is the link to the original article:  https://partnersinexcellenceblog.com/you-dont-need-a-strategy-just-a-handful-of-important-sounding-words/

“Finding your voice” might sound like a personal development cliché, but for speakers and leaders, it's the secret weapon that too many overlook.  As a speaker your voice is your most important tool and mastering how to use it to its fullest effect is one of the most impactful things you can do. This isn't just about sounding ‘nice', your voice is also a signal to your audience about your confidence, clarity, and credibility (…or lack of!). My guest, Bailey Massey, is a speech therapist turned voice and dialect coach who's helped everyone from actors to execs find their vocal power — without losing their authenticity.  She's worked with clients who felt like their accent was holding them back, leaders struggling to be taken seriously, and speakers who were unintentionally sabotaging their message with vocal habits they didn't even know they had. Bailey brings a refreshing, practical approach to voice work, and in this conversation, she breaks down what makes a voice sound trustworthy, what you should do about fixing your accent, and why developing your voice might be the missing link between your expertise and the impact you want to have.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiropractic Podcast, host Jerry Kennedy, former chiropractor and founder of Rocket Chiro, discusses how chiropractors can effectively request patient reviews without feeling desperate or sales-oriented. The goal is to foster a comfortable approach that enhances practice visibility and appeal. Why Reviews Matter: Jerry emphasizes that online reviews significantly impact local SEO rankings and patient decision-making. Fresh reviews boost your visibility on Google Maps and provide credibility to potential patients. Reviews older than six months begin to lose effectiveness, so continual efforts are essential. Common Mistakes: Relying on hope instead of a systematic approach. Viewing review requests as awkward or self-serving. Jerry recommends shifting the mindset to view reviews as a helpful service to future patients rather than purely self-benefiting. Creating a Review-Friendly Culture: Discuss the importance of reviews from early patient interactions. Utilize visible tools: posters, QR codes, signage. Regularly share patient testimonials on social media. Timing is crucial: delaying requests slightly ensures reviews reflect transformative patient experiences rather than superficial impressions. Practical Tips: Immediately capitalize on spontaneous praise by requesting reviews. Make review requests patient-centered, emphasizing how their feedback helps others. Use direct, short links and QR codes from Google Business Profile. Favor text-based requests over email. Engage staff to proactively support review requests. Pitfalls to Avoid: Never guilt-trip or beg for reviews. Do not offer incentives or discounts, as these violate Google's policies. Avoid emphasizing business needs over patient-centered language. Handling Negative Reviews: Negative reviews, while rare, can offer valuable insights. Jerry advises responding professionally and thoughtfully to negative feedback, turning it into an opportunity for demonstrating accountability and improvement. Consistency and Long-term Strategy: Jerry stresses the importance of consistent, ongoing review collection. Accumulating significantly more reviews than competitors can solidify long-term advantages in local SEO and patient trust. Final Thoughts: Excellence in chiropractic care combined with a positive mindset toward reviews and systematic integration into practice culture will yield sustained success. For chiropractors seeking additional help with websites, local SEO, or professional development, Jerry invites listeners to explore Rocket Chiro's Next Step program and other tailored services.

"I'm often asked, as the Chair of the Intelligence Committee, if the threat from China is as bad as it seems. And my answer is always no, it's much worse." Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) joins Trey to discuss how spending over a decade in the Senate has led him to see just how critical of an economic and military threat China is to the United States. He shares why informing the American people of this threat is so important and ultimately drove him to write his new book, 'Seven Things You Can't Say About China,' which further explores why China's rapid military buildup, growing nuclear arsenal, and cyber capabilities should not be ignored.
