Podcasts about Sparkle

This week's featured story comes from the Sparkle Car collection. It's called "Sparkle Car #8: The Magic of Backroads." This episode of Sparkle Car features a story from our "By Thistle By Thimble" story series: "The Glove Box" Gregory and his grandmother both share a deep interest in things from 'times gone by'. He spends long hours sorting through boxes in her attic, bins in her basement, and drawers in her garage; and she loves telling him stories about the curious tools and toys and objects that he finds. But there is one place he's not allowed to dig: the glove box in her car. She always tells him: "It is not for you Gregory - at least not yet." Many years later, Gregory gets to discover the magic that was kept inside - a magic that could show him something very dear to both him and his grandmother. Also included is the German folktale "The Water of Life", about the wanderings of the youngest son of an ailing man. The boy is able to find what his brothers could not, due to his generosity and kindness to a strange man he meets on a back road on the way to the palace.

From Betrayal to Sacred Self-Belonging: Healing the Relationship With Yourself After Infidelity “Betrayal ends where Sacred Self-Belonging begins.” Lora Cheadle After infidelity, the deepest wound isn't just the loss of your partner's trust—it's the loss of your own. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle reframes betrayal recovery as a sacred homecoming to yourself. Learn what Sacred Self-Belonging really means, how it differs from self-care or self-love, and why it's the ultimate goal of your healing journey. If you've ever felt like you abandoned yourself to be chosen, this episode will guide you back to the safety, sovereignty, and wholeness that betrayal tried to take. Top 3 Takeaways: Betrayal ruptures your identity and self-trust, not just your relationship—and that's what makes healing so complex. Sacred Self-Belonging is deeper than self-love—it's a somatic, spiritual reunion with the parts of you you once left behind. Three powerful practices to begin reclaiming your self-worth, safety, and voice—starting now.

This week's featured story comes from the At Home with Martin & Sylvia collection. It's called "Backyard Water Park." It is hot, and Martin and Sylvia want to cool off. "Can we go to a water park?" asks Martin hopefully. "I don't think we have a water park around here," answers Momma. But Daddy recollects how he and his brother used to make their own water parks in their backyard. This inspires brother and sister to pull out all sorts of materials and structures to create a cool solution to the summer heat.

Send us a textIn this episode of Sober-ish Sparkle, I sit down with the incredible Ash Butters – a transformation coach, speaker, and the host of Behind the Smile podcast. Ash shares her deeply personal and powerful story of going from high-functioning alcoholic to soul-led, sober woman helping others heal.Ash opens up about growing up around alcohol, her early exposure to drinking, and how addiction slowly took hold of her life. From juggling a corporate career and a seemingly perfect marriage, to waking up every day trapped in a cycle of shame, vodka bottles, and self-doubt – Ash's story is one of courage, surrender, and ultimately, freedom.We dive into her decision to go to rehab, her experience with the 12-step recovery model, and how she found herself again through nervous system work, breathwork, and deep inner transformation. Ash also shares how sobriety helped her re-align her life, career, and purpose – all while finding joy, peace, and ease within herself for the first time.If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, unsure of how to break the cycle, or afraid of what life looks like without alcohol, this conversation is here to remind you: you are not alone, and there is a beautiful life on the other side.

Pissed, Passive, or Potent? How to Stay in Your Power When Everything Falls Apart "Potency is standing in the fire and choosing not to burn yourself." What do a travel nightmare, a betrayal, and a broken plan all have in common? They each offer you a choice—not just in how you respond, but in who you choose to be. In this raw and real episode, Lora shares the story of a 24-hour travel meltdown and the powerful metaphor it became for life after infidelity. Discover how to navigate the 3 P's: Pissed (when you spiral in blame and frustration) Passive (when you check out or freeze) Potent (when you own your power and act in alignment with who you really are) Because healing isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying present, breathing through the fire—and choosing not to burn everything down. Whether you're deep in betrayal recovery, coping with change, or just having a rough day, this episode will remind you: You are more powerful than your circumstances. Book Your Introductory Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/first-time-session Top Three Takeaways: Your Identity Is Always a Choice You don't choose betrayal—but you do choose who you'll be on the other side of it. Don't Become the Emotion Feel your frustration, anger, or sadness—but don't become it. You are more than your feelings. Potency = Aligned Presence Real power isn't about control—it's about staying grounded, acting with intention, and living in integrity even when life is a mess.

“There's so much to learn in the speaking out of words. You see where people laugh, where they feel things close. It's affirming — especially for people who feel like they're not ‘real' writers yet.Everybody says, ‘I'm really scared before I read,' but most people find it transformational.”Amy I Beeson

Alle wollen gesehen werden – aber nicht beurteilt.Doch so oft halten wir uns selbst klein – aus Angst vor Ablehnung, vor Kritik, vor dem Urteil anderer.In dieser Episode nehme ich dich mit in eine persönliche Erfahrung, die schmerzhaft war – und gleichzeitig heilsam. Denn sie hat mich erinnert: Heilung beginnt nicht im Außen, sondern in uns. Und wahres Selbstvertrauen entsteht nicht durch Applaus, sondern durch gelebte Verlässlichkeit mit uns selbst.Wir sprechen über Bewertungen, Trigger, Selbstbild und die Freiheit, die entsteht, wenn du aufhörst, dich durch fremde Meinungen zu definieren. Du wirst eingeladen, dich selbst zu wählen – auch wenn andere dich ablehnen. Und dir selbst zu zeigen: Ich bin da. Ich halte mich. Ich glaube mir.Diese Folge ist eine kraftvolle Erinnerung daran, dass dein Licht nicht zu grell ist – es ist nur nicht für jeden bestimmt.

238. Tune in this week as I share my heartfelt reflections from a transformative and life-affirming weekend: my trip to Davenport, Iowa, to perform at the grand opening of the Ecdysiast Art Museum, a one of a kind burlesque museum and performance venue. From reconnecting with old friends to meeting new ones, performing, and teaching, it was a weekend where I felt nourished, connected, and truly alive in my body. I also revisit journal prompts from a past episode, “What Nourishes Your Soul,” inviting you to reflect on what makes you feel most alive.~ ~ > A new way to work with me!

Betrayal Uncovers the Truth: Because the Truth Shall Set You Free "Betrayal is a sacred initiation. It uncovers the truth—and the truth sets you free." Betrayal feels like the end. But what if it's the beginning? What if the devastation you're living through is actually the doorway to your deepest truth, your rawest power, and a joy you never knew was possible? This special July 4th episode is a bold celebration of freedom—the kind of freedom that comes not from fireworks or flags, but from shedding everything that was never truly yours. Because when betrayal cracks your life open, it also exposes what was always true beneath the surface. Betrayal recovery coach and advocate Lora Cheadle reveals why infidelity isn't just a relational rupture—it's a soul-level awakening. And how, when you stop fighting the story and start listening to the truth it reveals, you gain something no one can ever take from you again: unshakable sovereignty, radiant joy, and the power to create your life on your own terms. Book Your Introductory Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/first-time-session TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS: Betrayal is a sacred initiation that strips away illusion. It forces you to confront the truth about your relationship, your past, and your deepest self. The pain is a portal. When you stop resisting what happened and start listening to what it's trying to reveal, you begin to rise. Freedom isn't about forgiveness—it's about remembering who you were before you forgot your worth. And rebuilding your life from that place of unshakable self-trust.

Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) for a conversation about authenticity and the journey of becoming one's true self. We'll first explore how to let go of external masks that keep our true self hidden. How can we do that? Mainly through self-acceptance. We'll then bust the myth that authenticity is an individual sport. The truth is that our authenticity is entangled with everyone and everything around us-- which is a good thing. When we start to work within this space of support, then our life gets bigger and easier. We can go beyond our small self and work in a bigger, more connected space. And on a sports note... we'll get deep into a "basketball is life" analogy that Aimee is super into. Whether you like sports or not, we hope you resonate with the message that we can step out of a defensive way of living and into a more empowered, authentic life.

You Thought You Were Confident—Then He Cheated. Now What? Reclaiming Naked Self-Worth® After Infidelity “He may have broken your heart—but only you get to decide if he breaks your confidence.” You thought you were confident—until betrayal shattered everything you thought you knew about yourself. In this raw and powerful episode, betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle dismantles the myth that confidence comes from being chosen, loved, or successful. Real confidence, she reveals, is born in the aftermath of destruction. It's Naked Self-Worth®—the kind that remains when everything else is stripped away. If you've ever questioned your value, your beauty, or your future after infidelity, this episode will remind you that your worth was never lost. It was buried. And now it's time to uncover it—for good. Book Your Introductory Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/first-time-session TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS: Confidence after infidelity is not about being better, prettier, or more desirable—it's about knowing your worth despite the betrayal. Naked Self-Worth® means reclaiming your power without needing validation from anyone else. It's the kind of confidence no one can take away. The real you—the joyful, grounded, radiant woman—was never lost. She's been waiting underneath the roles, waiting for you to choose her again. Ready to create your own Hot Girl Summer?

This week's featured story comes from the Junkyard Tales collection. It's called "Fredland the Moose."   It is summer, and the Junkyard is hot — too hot to stay home. On the steamiest summer mornings, the Junkyard animals take a "holiday" visit to the nearby lake with its hills of blueberry bushes. One such morning, something unfortunate happens: Ben Thompson gets lost in the woods. It takes the kindness of a friendly and rather large forest animal to help the town cat find his way back to his friends.   If you enjoyed that story, there are hundreds and hundreds more where that came from.

What Every Betrayed Woman Wishes Her Partner Knew: How to Truly Support Her After You Cheat “You don't earn trust back by demanding it. You earn it by becoming it.” When infidelity shatters a relationship, it's not just about broken promises—it's about broken safety. This episode is a direct message to the betraying partner: If you cheated and still want to save the relationship, here's what your partner actually needs from you. Betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle goes deep into the emotional, psychological, and spiritual terrain of healing after betrayal. With honesty, compassion, and no sugarcoating, she breaks down how to hold space for your partner's pain without spiraling into shame, how to rebuild safety through steady presence—not perfect words—and how to become the kind of partner who is safe to love again. Whether you're the betrayer seeking redemption, or the betrayed partner hoping your spouse will finally get it—this episode lays it all bare. Book Your Men's Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/men-s-session Top 3 Takeaways: Shame isn't healing—it's hiding. Collapsing into shame makes your partner carry both their pain and yours. Stay grounded in guilt, not paralyzed by shame. Your presence is the repair. You don't have to say the perfect thing. You just have to stay when it gets hard—and keep showing up. There is no timeline for their healing. Rushing your partner or asking “Aren't you over it yet?” delays trust.

Why You're Still Stuck: Masculine & Feminine Energy, Inner Child Healing & Sovereignty After Betrayal “You might not like your choices—but you do have them. You are an adult. And that means you have power.” In this powerful, soul-level conversation, Lora goes deep into why healing doesn't work for so many women—even when they're doing all the therapy, reading, journaling, and emotional work. And the answer? It's not about trying harder. It's about energy balance, integration, and inner sovereignty. Start Here – A Quick Note About This Episode This is a deeper episode—a masterclass-style conversation that weaves together multiple advanced healing concepts: Masculine vs. feminine energy integration Inner child vs. adult self Partner polarity and healing dynamics Structure vs. surrender in recovery If one part hits you harder than another, trust that. Healing is layered. You might come back and re-listen again and again as you grow. Let this episode meet you exactly where you are. Top 3 Takeaways: Energy is Everything: You can't heal without a balance of masculine (structure, leadership) and feminine (emotion, flow) energies—within yourself and your relationship. You Are Not a Child Anymore: Learning to separate your adult self from your wounded inner child is how you reclaim your power and end the fear of abandonment. Healing Is Not Linear—It's Energetic, Emotional, and Embodied: If you've been stuck in your head or in endless tears, it's time to realign and embody the opposite energy to create balance and momentum. This Episode Is for You If: You feel like you've “done everything right” in your healing journey, but still feel stuck You're overwhelmed with emotion or paralyzed by logic—and don't know how to move forward You want to understand the deep emotional and energetic dynamics between you and your partner You're ready to integrate your inner child, reclaim your adult power, and rise Ready to create your own Hot Girl Summer?

How to judge seltzers, plus the science of carbonation... Over the past decade, seltzer has exploded. Sales have doubled, and companies like Coke and Pepsi are buying up brands and creating their own sparkling waters. So in a crowded field, with a drink that doesn't have much flavor to begin with, how do you tell which one is best? We talk with the hosts of the podcast Seltzer Death Match to find out. Then we nerd out on the science of carbonation: What exactly is it, how does it affect the taste experience, and how do you get the best results from home carbonation systems? Dan Souza, editor-in-chief of Cook's Illustrated, has the answers.This episode originally aired on May 17, 2020, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, and Sam Lee.
