You don't get to just call yourself an ally to trans people without action to back it up. Ally is a verb, and if you're not willing to do even the easiest, smallest thing to help trans people, you are not our ally. No matte how much you want to think you are so that you can feel like a good person. So let's talk about what performative allyship looks like, so you know how to avoid falling into that trap. Writer, comedian, and actress Riley Silverman returns to discuss taking small steps, and the line between work and fun!

Have you ever noticed how two people can be looking at the same thing and have completely different perspectives on it? One might see a problem while the other sees a reason to praise. There might be something in your life that looks like a problem right now, but God is inviting you to pivot so you can see the truth. If you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: John 20, verses 1-2, 11-18 Matthew 21, verse 42 John 19, verse 41

Do you spend way too much time checking yourself in the mirror? Fixating on flaws that nobody else seems to notice? Canceling plans because you feel like you look "off" that day? You're not alone, and this isn't about vanity—this is about a real struggle that deserves understanding. Today we're diving into Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and how it shows up in eating disorder recovery. The statistics are eye-opening: while only 1 in 50 people in the general population experience BDD, 25-40% of people with eating disorders also struggle with body dysmorphic disorder. In this episode, you'll discover: What Body Dysmorphic Disorder actually is (beyond occasional insecurity) The shocking connection between eating disorders and BDD Real client story: How BDD stole years of living from a successful VP 6 practical tools to break free from obsessive body thoughts Why "your body is an instrument, not an ornament" How to practice body neutrality when body positivity feels impossible The difference between healthy awareness and destructive obsession This goes beyond the mirror—it's about reclaiming the mental energy that's been stolen from you and learning to live present in your own life. THE EYE-OPENING STATISTICS 1 in 50 people in general population experience Body Dysmorphic Disorder 25-40% of people with eating disorders also struggle with BDD This means: If you're struggling with disordered eating, there's a much higher chance you're also dealing with body dysmorphic disorder. WHAT IS BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER? BDD is classified in the DSM-5 under Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders. It's when thoughts about your appearance become all-consuming—when they start stealing your joy and limiting your life. This isn't about vanity. This is about genuine struggle that deserves compassion and understanding. Common signs include: Spending hours checking your appearance in mirrors Constantly comparing yourself to others (especially on social media) Avoiding social settings because you're convinced everyone is staring Taking dozens of photos from different angles to "capture what you really look like" Canceling plans when you feel you look "off" Fixating on specific body parts (face, stomach, skin, weight) CLIENT STORY: ELLA'S BREAKTHROUGH Ella was a VP at her company—successful, married, two kids. From the outside, everything looked perfect. But inside, she was crumbling. Ella spent hours fixating on what she perceived as facial asymmetry and "hating her stomach." She would: Cancel plans if her appearance didn't feel right Take dozens of selfies from different angles Hibernate in loose clothing when her stomach wasn't "flat enough" Miss out on living because she was trapped in the obsession The truth: When I looked at Ella, I saw an amazingly beautiful and confident woman. The things she fixated on weren't visible to me or anyone else in her life. Six months later, Ella shared: "For the first time in years, I went to my daughter's birthday party and I didn't think about my appearance. I was just there. I was present. I laughed, and I played and I connected. This is what living feels like." 6 TOOLS TO BREAK FREE FROM BODY OBSESSION 1. Practice Awareness Notice when you're engaging in checking behaviors Observe with compassion: "I notice I'm having thoughts right now" Technique: Set a timer when getting ready—when it goes off, walk away from the mirror no matter what 2. Challenge the Distortion Question absolute thoughts: "Everyone notices this about me" or "I look disgusting" Exercise: Write how you'd respond if your best friend shared the same concerns Remember: "Our minds distort our mirrors" 3. Reduce Comparison (Eliminate If Possible) Studies show increased social media correlates with worse BDD symptoms Action: Go on a social media detox or unfollow triggering accounts Replace scrolling time with something that feeds your soul 4. Redirect Your Focus Create a list of activities that fully engage your mind Have this list ready BEFORE the thoughts hit Examples: Reading, puzzles, nature walks, calling a friend 5. Practice Body Neutrality Focus on what your body can DO rather than how it looks "Can your legs carry you through the day? Can your arms hug people you love?" Remember: Your body is an instrument, not an ornament 6. Seek Help and Support BDD responds well to treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Working with specialists in body image issues makes an enormous difference You don't have to heal from this alone THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR BODY Your body was never meant to be your life's work. It was meant to champion you in doing your life's purpose and your life's work. You only have one precious life. You deserve to: Be present and laugh without wondering how your face looks Eat cake without worrying about your stomach afterward Connect deeply without background noise of how others view you Live without the mental prison of appearance obsession KEY QUOTES

In this Brain Driven Brands episode, Nate and I unpack a wild little study that found ads can be 30% more effective depending on where your model's eyes are looking. Turns out, the difference between “I trust this brand with my organs” and “why is she looking at me like that?” comes down to whether your product is utilitarian or hedonic (fancy words for “practical” vs “fun”). We break down why eye contact builds trust for supplements and skincare—but looking away sells fashion and for-funsies products. TL;DR: Your model's gaze might be the cheapest conversion hack you've never tested.

At first, it was just sleep paralysis — the kind where you can't move, can't scream, and can only watch. But for one man, that helpless silence turned into a front-row seat to the impossible. Every night, a woman in white appeared beside his bed — long black hair, faceless, glowing faintly in the dark. She hovered above him, near the window, sometimes so close he could feel her stare. He told himself it was a dream. Until the night the ghost train arrived. When the last carriage vanished, she was gone forever. He still wakes up paralyzed sometimes. But he never looks to the right anymore — because once you've seen the train to the other side, you don't watch it come back. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueHaunting #GhostTrain #WhiteLady #SleepParalysis #ParanormalExperience #RealGhostStory #SupernaturalEncounter #HauntedDreams #SpectralTrain #Ghosts #Haunting Love real ghost stories?

This week, we saddle up for another bumpy ride through the dystopian tech clown show. We kick off with the surveillance state's greatest hits: ICE raids sweeping L.A., a website literally called FuckLAPD.com that lets you ID cops by their mug shots, and a Norwegian tourist who learned the hard way that having a JD Vance chipmunk meme on your phone is now grounds for deportation. Pro tip: if you're traveling to the U.S., you might want to wrap your phone in lead and bury it in a cornfield.In the news, Big Balls has apparently rolled his way from Elon's Department of Government Efficiency to the Social Security Administration—because nothing says “government modernization” like a 19-year-old tech bro with a meme nickname. Meanwhile, Tesla robotaxis are hitting the roads (and maybe a few pedestrians) with human babysitters in tow, Waymo and Uber are turning Atlanta into Blade Runner Lite, and Texas wants a permit for your self-driving car. Over in AI hell, judges can't agree if training your chatbot on stolen books is fair use or just digital asbestos. YouTube, never one to miss a race to the bottom, is rolling out an AI Slop button so you can crank up the crap to 11.In Media Candy, Russell Crowe is beefing up his IMDb with Highlander, Henry Cavill is along for the ride, and Anthony Bourdain Day is apparently a thing (even though he'd have rolled his eyes at it). We also dig into everything from Minecraft movies to the sad demise of Blue Microphones at the hands of Logitech. Plus, Dave Bittner drops by to commiserate about malware, retro gaming handhelds, and why some Star Wars maps are basically porn for nerds. And yes—Windows is finally killing the Blue Screen of Death, proving even Microsoft can eventually learn to read the room.DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Episode 3139: Vitaliy Katsenelson argues that obsessively monitoring your portfolio can lead to emotional decision-making and worse investment outcomes. Instead, he urges investors to zoom out, think long term, and treat investing more like watching paint dry, boring, but ultimately rewarding. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://contrarianedge.com/want-to-be-a-better-investor-stop-staring-at-your-portfolio/ Quotes to ponder: "Most of the mistakes I've made as an investor happened when I got too close to the action."

In this deeply reflective solo episode of the Reason to Behold Podcast, Arnold delivers a powerful wake-up call for believers navigating today's challenging times. With the cost of living rising, societal pressures mounting, and uncertainty lurking around every corner, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and adopt a mindset of victimhood. But Arnold challenges us to shift our focus—from the externals we can't control to the internal disciplines that build spiritual confidence and resilience. Using scriptural examples like David, Moses, and Daniel, this episode calls us back to a mindset rooted in faith, responsibility, and victory. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Stop Staring, Start Solving Arnold sets the tone by urging listeners to stop blaming external circumstances and start seeking God-centred solutions. 01:00 – Navigating Financial Pressures A candid look at the current economic climate in the UK and how it's impacting our daily lives, regardless of income level. 02:30 – Wrestling with Wealth as a Believer Arnold shares personal reflections on internal conflicts about money, prosperity, and guilt rooted in misinterpreted teachings. 04:30 – Victimhood vs Responsibility Exploring how we fall into victim mindsets when we acknowledge real challenges but take no steps forward. 06:40 – Scripture as a Solution Strategy An introduction to key biblical figures who overcame impossible odds through faith, courage, and spiritual focus. 08:50 – David & Goliath: A Spiritual Perspective Breaking down David's confidence in God and how spiritual mindset, not human strength, leads to victory. 12:30 – Confidence, Sin & Consistency How daily disciplines and choices affect our confidence, especially when facing major life “Goliaths”. 17:10 – The Danger of Comfort & Complacency Arnold highlights how easing up in peaceful seasons can lead to spiritual unpreparedness for life's battles. 22:30 – Moses & Pharaoh: Confidence Amid Inadequacy Looking at Moses' doubts and how God's assurance was his source of strength, not his own capabilities. 27:30 – Daniel in the Lions' Den: Devotion Despite Danger Daniel's faithfulness in the face of death and how God's protection followed his continued devotion. 33:00 – Faith in Every Season Encouragement that following Christ is a full-time calling—not just for when life is easy or hard. 35:50 – Rebuilding Lost Confidence Practical and spiritual encouragement for those who feel disqualified, guilty, or disconnected from God. Highlights From The Episode “Victimhood begins when we observe real challenges and take no action to overcome them.” “Your disciplines don't make you righteous, but they help you keep the door shut to the enemy.” “David didn't beat Goliath with physical strength—he won with spiritual confidence.” “In seasons of ease, we must not compromise on spiritual disciplines.” “Confession isn't just about sin; it's about inviting God into our truth so He can help us.” Practical Steps You Can Take Reflect on areas where you may have adopted a victim mindset. Confess feelings of inadequacy or guilt to God rather than internalising them. Reinstate or reinforce spiritual disciplines like reading Scripture and prayer—even during ‘easy' seasons. Remember that your confidence comes from your connection to God, not your performance. Revisit biblical stories to reframe how you view and respond to your own “Goliaths”. Relevant Themes Covered Faith in tough times Biblical mindset for overcoming obstacles Spiritual disciplines and confidence Financial pressures from a Christian perspective Avoiding victimhood Building resilience through scripture Honest confession and restoration Trusting God amid fear and inadequacy Connect with RTB For podcast updates, exclusive daily devotional emails and more, join the RTB community!

Revz regales us with a truly superb spew story and so we're off to a queasy start, aren't we? Then Revz doesn't have time for the weirdness of being the unmarried woman at the BBQ, which sparks a convo about gender divides at Aussie get-togethers.

SUMMARY Staring at yourself in a video call turns out to be a real downer.   TRANSCRIPT Welcome to episode 148 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we bring research to life in your leadership. This week we explore how staring at yourself on a video call is a real downer. Video calls can really sap our energy. Our brain isn't very well equipped to focus on so many faces at once, making the gallery view in Teams and Zoom particularly challenging for our attention and energy levels. We can also find seeing ourselves on screen distracting. But recent research shows it's even worse than that - staring at ourselves during a video call actually worsens our mood. Researchers found people tend to look at others more than themselves when on a video call. By tracking participant eye movements though, they found variations in how much time people spent looking at themselves. Those who stared at themselves more tended to demonstrate greater drops in their mood and emotional state across the video call. The researchers even allowed some participants to drink low amounts of alcohol during the experiment, which is usually associated with increased mood and sociability. However, during video calls these same low levels of alcohol did not increase sociability and mood. The nature of the video call dampened these typically positive effects. So what do we do with all of that? It's unlikely you're drinking during work calls, so let's just park that finding. But one practical thing you can do is to remove your self-view. Once you are setup and sure your camera is working, Zoom and Teams allow you to hide the view you have of yourself. This will help you to focus on the other person. You can also look at other settings that allow you to focus on the person speaking, rather than showing all participants at once. Some leaders I'm working with have even tried phone conferences as a way to change up the approach they take to meetings. So this week, try to stop staring at yourself. It will make you feel better.   REFERENCE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, News Bureau. (2022, June 13). Staring at yourself during virtual chats may worsen your mood. ScienceDaily.

Consider this a non-violent, verbal kick in the rear. I continue to see too many digitally native founders sit on screens too much of the day. Get out in the field and meet stakeholders, including your fans. Respect the big, broad world out there that builds your brand with you. This is how you achieve an unfair advantage over others.

She's a terrible influence and made Jeremy smoke some serious loud during the show so the conversation is absolutely insane but probably the funniest thing you'll hear all week. We're talking mansplaining, hairy ankles, and most importantly Jeremy's butt related g-spot. It's so good we had to break it up into two episodes... Enjoy!  We want to hear from you!
