On Saturday Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed after Israel and the US launched a "massive" and ongoing attack against Iran's leadership and military. US President Donald Trump urged Iranian forces to lay down their arms, and for Iran's people to rise up against its government. Iran has responded by firing ballistic missiles and drones at US assets and allies across the region. Whilst huge questions still remain about what will happen next in this conflict, on Woman's Hour today we ask what this moment might mean for women in Iran. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC Persian reporter Ghoncheh Habibiazad and international human rights lawyer Azadeh Zabeti, Co-President of the Committee of Anglo-Iranian Lawyers.Mary Ann Evans is better known by her pseudonym George Eliot. She's the author of many important novels including Middlemarch, Silas Marner, and Mill on the Floss, which brings the issue of women's education to the fore. A new play, Bird Grove, the name of George Eliot's home, has just opened at the Hampstead Theatre in London. When we meet Mary Ann she has not yet started writing fiction, but beginning to have her mind opened to progressive new ideas. Nuala finds out more with the play's director, Anna Ledwich, and actor Elizabeth Dulau who plays Mary Ann Evans. According to the NGO International Justice Mission, child sexual abuse that takes place on social media and other online platforms is one of the fastest‑growing yet least‑detected types of child abuse globally. Offenders pay to direct the real‑time sexual exploitation of children via any internet‑connected, camera‑enabled device. Most identified victims are in the Philippines and the UK is among the top three countries consuming this material, with the United States at number one. Nuala is joined by Molly Hudson from the International Justice Mission, and Sharon Pursey, co‑founder of SafeToNet, a British online safety technology company.Kate Pickett is Professor of Epidemiology at the University of York. Her new book is The Good Society and How We Make It and in it she looks at ideas she believes will build a better society and says we “can't afford to nibble” when it comes to solving some of the big issues we are facing.

Do you ever catch yourself translating in your head before you speak English? Word by word, sentence by sentence—trying to convert your native language into English before the words even leave your mouth?It's exhausting. It slows you down. And it makes fluency feel impossible.But here's the truth: translation isn't a language problem—it's a thinking problem. And in this episode, we're going to show you exactly how to rewire your brain so you can finally think directly in English.We break down a powerful 3-stage method that trains your brain to process English naturally, without translation:STAGE 1: Vocabulary Immersion — Learn words in context through natural phrases and real situations, not isolated translationsSTAGE 2: Topical Study with the 5Ws — Answer Who, What, When, Where, and Why to build complete thoughts in English from the ground upSTAGE 3: Opinion Development — Express your perspective with structured reasoning to think critically in English, not your native languageEach stage includes real examples across fitness, shopping, and travel topics—so you can see exactly how to apply this method starting today.We also explore why translation happens in the first place (it's a natural learning stage, but you can outgrow it), and how thinking in English transforms not just your speaking speed, but your confidence, clarity, and ability to participate naturally in conversations.If you've ever felt stuck mid-sentence, searching for the "right" translation—this episode is for you. Because fluent speakers don't translate. They think, process, and express all in one language.If you want to sign up for the free English email newsletter, go to https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/newsletter

For years, we've talked about the world order 'shifting.' Changing. The end of the Bretton Woods agreement, But according to legendary investor Ray Dalio, the shift is over. The break is now here.In a massive new piece Dalio just released—following the 2026 Munich Security Conference—he made it official: **The post-1945 world order has broken down.** We have officially entered what he calls "Stage 6' of the Big Cycle."Historically, Stage 6 is the 'War Stage.' It's the period of 'Great Disorder' where rules are replaced by raw power, where debt cycles reach their breaking point, and where the global map is redrawn. We're seeing it in the 'Capital Wars,' the weaponization of the dollar, and the total breakdown of trust in traditional institutions.

To close out our Sahara Gravel coverage, Payson sat down with race volunteer Leoni Kolberg, who has spent the past four years riding around the world, often solo and sleeping in a tent. Last year, she rode across South America. Before that, she rode across Iran and Pakistan. Leoni sat down with Payson amongst the sand dunes to talk about what it's like to live on the road for so long, dealing with the solitude, perfecting the art of reading books while riding, and why she's decided to change things up this year. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Have you ever worked relentlessly toward a goal (a vision or a dream you once felt absolutely certain about) and suddenly it stops flowing? You're still trying. You're still showing up. But no matter how hard you push, it's not progressing the way it used to? You’re wondering: Does this mean I am ungrateful for wanting more? Am I self-sabotaging? Have I lost my magic touch? Is my manifestation ability broken? Or worse… am I about to ruin my life by walking away from something I fought so hard to build? I am seeing this collective theme everywhere right now… in my private practice, in conversations with friends, and inside my own life. What if this isn't failure at all? What if you are so greatly loved that you are being redirected to a version of your life or purpose that is better than you imagined? In this episode, I'm breaking down the shift from what I call Stage One manifestation (ego-based) to Stage Two manifestation (soul-aligned) through the lens of Numerology and your Life Path number. Did you know that very Life Path (1 through 9, including master numbers 11, 22, and 33) has its own evolutionary arc? There is what you were taught to chase… and there is what your soul is actually here to embody. If you feel like nothing is working the way it used to, if you can't manifest the way you once could, if you're trying harder but things keep collapsing, or if you secretly know something in your life is over… this episode will help you understand why. You didn't lose your magic. You’re mining for an elevated version of it. And your Life Path number may be revealing exactly where it went. SHOWNOTES Check out this previous masterclass to decode your life path number and start to unveil your transcendent calling: The Magnetic Message You Were Born to Share: Unlock It Through Your Life Path Number If you want to be featured in a future episode, leave me a voice note HERE! Do not be shy. I want to help inspire you and connect you back to your magic, and leaving a voicemail on where you are stuck might not just help give you clarity, but might help someone else who listens.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we celebrate one of our great Welshmen: Anthony Hopkins! Our B-Sides include When Eight Bells Toll, Juggernaut, Spotswood, and Instinct. Our guest is the great Brian Raftery, whose new book Hannibal Lecter: A Life “traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann's Manhunter and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award–winning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal.”  We discuss Hopkins' iconic voice, his tumultuous early years and struggle to become a leading man. There's his honest and interesting autobiography, his incredible range, his Wales-connection to the great Richard Burton, and his incredibly practical outlook to the acting profession. Brian, Conor, and I go long on the actors that have played Hannibal, the movie Freejack, Hopkins' directorial efforts August and Slipstream, and that time Hopkins played a working man's James Bond named Phil (When Eight Bells Toll). There's love paid to Bill Forsyth, Jodie Foster, Kate Burton, and The Edge.

Get the FULL video interview on YouTube https://youtu.be/vEoeJ1mwIkg or on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Ism4pAz8bvXg16TjnoLhh?si=hO_a7cwSQ_KCgWTK03LoJQ Oh F*ck Yeah with Ruan Willow Podcast Hosts Actress Brandi Swan in an interview! Season 6, Episode 719: From Stage to screen: Brandi Swan's Path into Professional Adult Entertainment. Brandi Swan's journey from theater stages to adult film sets is anything but ordinary. After years as a dancer, she discovered pole dancing, which eventually led her into adult entertainment—though not before she learned what "making it wink" meant during her very first audition (talk about a learning curve, yikes!). Now working with major studios, she's finding her preferences through experience, crediting co-star Jay Romero for making her comfortable during a successful first anal scene. Brandi has a Master's Degree in Theater and she loves dancing exotically and doing adult entertainment because 'she loves the thrill, the art of seduction, and the people she meets along the way." Beyond the bedroom, Brandi's navigating the demanding business side of adult entertainment. She recently graced the red carpet at both AVN and XBIZ events. At XBIZ in Los Angeles, she spent a week networking through panels and speed-dating events with agencies and directors—exhausting work that contrasts sharply with her previous theater career. She's setting boundaries (no hard hits to the face), embracing her submissive side, and planning to eventually transition from performing into directing and producing, bringing her film background to create more sophisticated adult content.

Sexual sin rarely begins with a sudden fall—it develops subtly and progressively. In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, we examine why sexual sin must be addressed biblically and how it often follows a predictable spiral: desensitization, relaxation, fixation, rationalization, and degeneration.The episode concludes with practical, gospel-centered application aimed at repentance, accountability, and pursuing holiness. While sexual sin is deceptive and destructive, Christ offers forgiveness, cleansing, and true freedom.00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast01:21 The Importance of Discussing Sexual Sin02:26 Why Sexual Sin is Often Avoided in Conversation03:35 The Deceptive Nature of Sexual Sin 05:15 The Sexual Sin Spiral: An Overview06:10 Stage 1: Desensitization 12:50 Stage 2: Relaxation and Idleness16:43 Stage 3: Fixation 20:20 Stage 4: Rationalization23:23 Stage 5: Degeneration26:24 Hope and Forgiveness for Those in the Spiral 29:03 Practical Steps for Repentance and AccountabilitySound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.

What do you do when doctors tell you that you have two to three months to live? In this powerful episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with stage 4 prostate cancer survivor Chuck Keels, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer that had spread to 90% of his bones. Placed in hospice care and given morphine to manage the pain, Chuck was told there was nothing more that could be done. But what followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Chuck shares his journey through chemotherapy, radical surgery, juicing, natural therapies like soursop and frankincense, movement after spinal fractures, and a radical shift in mindset. He opens up about faith, the mind-body connection, psycho-neuro-immunology, and the moment he believes divine intervention changed everything. Today, cancer-free, Chuck is the founder of Living Hope Cancer Foundation, helping patients find support, navigation, and hope after diagnosis. If you or someone you love has received a cancer diagnosis, this conversation could change everything.

There's a silent struggle that many couples face—issues of pain, discomfort, or disconnection in intimate life that go unspoken and unattended. For so long, pelvic floor challenges have been seen as private burdens to bear alone, surrounded by stigma or confusion about where to turn for help. But what if we viewed these not as individual problems, but as shared matters that impact the whole relationship? Could better understanding and open conversation actually transform your intimacy and emotional connection? In this episode, you'll discover how pelvic floor health influences pleasure, pain, and intimacy—and why these challenges are best faced together, not solo. Drawing from expert insights and practical guidance, you'll learn how increased awareness and communication can bridge the gap between partners, foster support and compassion, and empower you with tools for healing. Whether you're struggling silently or simply want to deepen trust and connection, this conversation offers actionable steps and hope for anyone ready to turn hidden struggle into shared strength. Since 2007, Dr. Sara Reardon has been caring for people's pelvic floors as a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist. She is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout platform for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. As The Vagina Whisperer on Instagram and TikTok, she has hundreds of thousands of followers. She is the author of FLOORED: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage.   Episode Highlights 03:53 Understanding pelvic floor anatomy and its impact on intimacy. 07:50 Breaking stigma and introducing pelvic health conversations. 09:37 The role of partners and destigmatizing pelvic floor challenges. 14:47 Exploring pelvic floor dysfunction: Causes and effects on relationships. 18:56 Pelvic floor health and sexual pleasure.. 21:16 Exploring arousal: Physical and emotional components. 23:13 Daily habits and exercises for intimate health. 28:26 Tools, devices, and progression in pelvic floor therapy. 36:35 Debunking myths: Arousal, climax, and individual differences.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Learn about your pelvic floor anatomy to understand how it affects day-to-day functions and intimacy. Openly discuss pelvic health and intimacy challenges with your partner to reduce shame and foster teamwork. Attend pelvic floor therapy sessions together when possible for shared education and support. Practice mindful urination and bowel movements—sit fully, breathe, and avoid straining or "power peeing." Incorporate pelvic-friendly exercises such as yoga poses (e.g., child's pose, pigeon, happy baby) to encourage muscle relaxation. Explore self-stimulation privately to discover which types of touch and stimulation are most pleasurable or comfortable. Consider using vaginal trainers or dilators, starting small and gradually increasing size, and involve your partner for support and collaboration. Normalize communication around sexual pleasure, pain, and individual needs, recognizing that every body and relationship is unique.   Mentioned Floored (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) V-Hive (*Google Play link) (app) Online Workouts (free workout) Come as You Are (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Squatty potty (e-commerce website) Vaginal Dilators (e-commerce website) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide) Connect with Dr. Sara Reardon Websites: thevagwhisperer.com Facebook: facebook.com/thevagwhisperer YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC2MllrS6zD974pxBFbVUHdA Instagram: instagram.com/the.vagina.whisperer LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sara-reardon-pt-dpt-wcs-4a6b1025 TikTok: tiktok.com/@thevagwhisperer

The Myth of Time Healing: Contrary to popular belief, time alone does not heal betrayal wounds. Assessment responses reveal people still struggling 15, 35, even 40+ years after their betrayal, with statements like "feels like it happened yesterday" and "I'll never trust again."  The Critical Difference: Betrayal recovery requires deliberate, intentional healing—you can't count on time or a new relationship to fix it.  The Problem with Traditional Approaches  Wrong Tools at the Wrong Stage: Even excellent therapeutic tools can backfire when applied at the inappropriate stage of recovery:  Stage 2 (Shock & Trauma): Clients need nervous system regulation, not gratitude exercises or trust-building  Stage 4 (Rebuilding): Clients may not need the same interventions that worked in earlier stages  Why Coaches Struggle: Practitioners often dread seeing betrayal clients because their proven methods aren't working—but it's not the tools, it's the timing. Someone who's been betrayed isn't starting at the same place as other clients.  The Waitlist Initiative  A new waitlist has been created to connect people struggling with betrayal to properly certified coaches and practitioners. The response has been overwhelming, with heartbreaking stories of:  PTSD symptoms 30 years post-betrayal  Closed-off relationships due to family betrayals from decades ago  Lives that "haven't been the same since"  Understanding the Stages  Stage 2: Shock and trauma—nervous system completely dysregulated  Stage 3: Survival mode—functional but flat, no joy. This is where most people get stuck because:  It feels better than the chaos of Stage 2  It's the "familiar known"  Fear of the shakeup change would create  Intentionally ignoring intuition due to lack of bandwidth  The Stage 2-3 Loop: Many people bounce between shock/trauma and survival, like being thrown down a ravine, climbing up, then being thrown down again.  Stage 4 & 5: Hopeful, growth-oriented, forward-moving—but most people don't even know these stages exist.  Why People Stay Stuck  Lack of awareness: They don't know Stage 4 and 5 exist  Familiar vs. good: We choose the familiar known over the unfamiliar unknown, even when it's not serving us  Fear of disruption: New boundaries and standing up for yourself creates a shakeup  Bandwidth concerns: Mental, emotional, physical, or financial limitations  Comparison trap: Stage 3 seems "good enough" compared to Stage 2  The Cost of Staying Stuck  Post Betrayal Syndrome symptoms persist when you ignore your intuition and stay in Stage 3:  Physical illnesses and conditions  Mental and emotional symptoms  Your body communicates through its weakest link  Over 100,000 people tested show consistent symptom patterns  The Reframe  The Weight Loss Analogy: Two friends, both 30 pounds overweight and "fine." One loses the weight and transforms—feels amazing, confident, energized. The other declines help, saying "I'm okay."  The Truth: If you knew for even a minute what Stage 5 felt like, you wouldn't waste another minute in Stage 3.  The Path Forward  Healing requires moving through all five stages with the right support and tools applied at the right time. The goal of the PBT Institute certification program is to get the Five Stages framework into as many qualified hands as possible—because it's not about one person, it's about every certified practitioner reaching everyone in their sphere.  Most Common Betrayal Types  From the waitlist responses:  Family betrayal  Partner betrayal  Note: Early, unhealed betrayals (often in childhood or early relationships) frequently underlie later betrayal experiences—it's often not where you think it started.  Bottom Line: Just because something is familiar doesn't mean it's good. There's something so much better waiting in Stages 4 and 5—but you have to move through the process deliberately and intentionally to get there.  Resources: Join the waitlist: https://thepbtinstitute.com/waitlist/  Grab the book and bonuses: https://thepbtinstitute.com/unstuck/

While Blue Owl's blowup exploded the private credit mess back into the mainstream with yesterday's first confirmation of Stage 2, there had been some building pressures in the monetary system leading up to it. Including a seemingly out of nowhere surge in borrowing from the Fed's repo facility on Tuesday, a whopping $30 billion spike. And that's not even the biggest part of this. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.
