About Nicole Nicole Johnston’s Taboo Topics is an invitation to bring into the light the conversations women have often been conditioned to keep hidden. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership and executive coaching, Nicole argues that many of the barriers women experience at work are not personal shortcomings but cultural patterns that have remained largely unnamed. Rather than encouraging women simply to “lean in” or become more confident, she invites women to understand the invisible systems shaping their experiences and reclaim their voice within them. In This Episode We Discuss: How growing up with educator parents, playing sports, and learning to advocate for herself after losing hearing in one ear shaped Nicole’s leadership journey. Why sports matter for girls and the powerful connection between athletics, confidence, and leadership. Nicole’s path from Division I athlete to leadership roles at Procter & Gamble, including 19 moves and international experiences. The car accident that became a wake-up call and ultimately led her toward coaching and developing others. We Explore: Why perfectionism can feel like a “cozy blanket” and how resilience helps women take risks and grow. The importance of giving ourselves permission instead of waiting for it from others. Emotional labor, invisible work, and the unequal distribution of responsibility at home and work. The exhaustion of maintaining a persona and how women can become more intentional with their energy. Why celebrating other women is a powerful alternative to judgment. The “micro cuts” of sexism that women experience throughout their lives and careers. Compensation inequities and why women should always negotiate their salary. Nicole’s Advice for Younger Women: Respect the women who came before you and fought for the opportunities you have today. It’s okay to make mistakes, change directions, and choose a different path. Protect your time and energy early because the expectations you set often become the expectations others hold. This conversation is a thoughtful and practical exploration of the invisible forces shaping women’s lives and a reminder that many of the challenges women experience are cultural patterns to question—not personal failures to fix.

Why is Non-Monogamy Still Taboo?In this segment from our throwback episode with Dr. Joli Hamilton, we dig into why non-monogamy still carries so much stigma — even as more people quietly explore it. Dr. Hamilton, a relationship coach and research psychologist, unpacks the cultural scripts that keep monogamy positioned as the "default" and everything else as a deviation, and why that framing doesn't hold up under scrutiny.We talk through the double standards, the assumptions about jealousy and commitment, and what actually changes when couples give themselves permission to question the rules they inherited. A short but pointed listen for anyone curious about where the taboo comes from — and why it's worth challenging.

Death has long been one of society's biggest taboos, something many of us avoid discussing until we have no choice.But that mindset is beginning to shift. More young Singaporeans are opening up conversations about grief, end-of-life planning, and what it means to prepare for life's final chapter. Some are writing books about death, others are creating spaces to talk about loss, while one former tech sales executive even took a 90% pay cut to help families navigate their final goodbyes. On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Kenneth Yeow, the ‘Afterlife Bro’, about what's driving this cultural shift, why younger generations are embracing conversations about death, and whether planning for the inevitable could ultimately help us live more meaningful lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN — a physical therapist and holistic nurse with over 30 years of experience in pelvic health, and one of the country's leading experts in shockwave therapy for pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Stacey breaks down why up to 30% of women may experience vulvodynia (and why that number is likely underreported), how chronic low back pain can actually be rooted in a tight, "upregulated" pelvic floor, and why men are even less likely than women to get evaluated for pelvic floor issues. We dig into the emotional and physical toll of being told "it's all in your head," the fascia's role in referred pain, and how shockwave — a completely external, non-invasive technology originally developed to break up kidney stones — is now accelerating healing for incontinence, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and vaginismus. Stacey also shares an eyebrow-raising pilot finding on shockwave and testosterone.

(2) The Nuclear Taboo and Russian Forbearance: Secret Nuclear History, the Cuban Missile Crisis Comparison, and the Dangers of Escalation Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. In a "parking lot" broadcast, the hosts explore the fragility of nuclear deterrence. Gaius discusses a report revealing that in 2023, China and India persuaded Vladimir Putin not to use tactical nuclear weapons in Kherson. He compares this secrecy to the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the American public was unaware of nuclear-tipped torpedoes and frog missiles. Germanicusargues that Russia's "existential situation" leads to caution rather than impulsiveness, emphasizing that the Russian ethos is profoundly affected by the trauma of the Great Patriotic War, making them "essentially conservative and realistic" regarding apocalypse. He critiques the Biden and Trump administrations for "creeping escalation," warning that the West is acting irresponsibly by taking "Russian forbearance" for granted and "poking the bear" with long-range strike weapons. They conclude that a weaker power feeling existential pressure is the most likely to resort to nuclear weapons as a "desperate last ditch stand." (2)1957 COLD WAR

And how about the Biden coverup?Joe Biden spoke publicly again, and he didn't disappoint.Yet again, Biden proved to be a buffoon.I'm actually surprised Democrats let this guy out. Remember in 2020 they kept him in the basement so they could steal the election. I predict he will have disappear soon. “Where's my granddaughter!?”At issue are roughly 70 hours of audio recordings captured during conversations for Biden's 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad. Biden's legal team argued the recordings include deeply personal discussions, including references to the death of his son Beau and should remain private despite becoming part of a federal investigation.In a May statement, Mike Howell, president of The Heritage Foundation's The Oversight Project, said, per Politico, that the “tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden's fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information.”Democrats don't want us to know what we already know.Think about how absurd that sentence is.They spent years insisting Joe Biden was fine. Sharp. Focused. In command. The media treated every obvious cognitive malfunction as if Americans had accidentally wandered into a mass hallucination.Then came the legal fight over the tapes.And that's the confession.Because nobody fights to suppress evidence that vindicates them.If these recordings showed Biden operating like the strategic mastermind Democrats claimed he was, they'd release them with a commemorative soundtrack and a Netflix special. Instead, they lawyered up faster than a mob accountant during tax season.Why?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She shares the science and story behind Dare to Play, a topical sildenafil cream engineered with proprietary Dermaflex technology to deliver the active ingredient directly to genital tissue, enhancing physical arousal sensations within 10–15 minutes.We cover how Dare to Play compares to existing options like Addyi, Vyleesi, and testosterone — and why none of those address physical arousal the way this does. We also clear up a common misconception: this is not a lubricant. It works from the inside out, enhancing the body's natural lubrication response through increased blood flow.Sabrina walks us through exactly how to get a prescription today — via your own provider or a free telehealth consult— and explains the pricing: $99/tube, 10 doses, roughly $10 per use.

Adreena is the author of So You Want to Be a Cuckold and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, and she brings both lived experience and years of coaching couples through this exact terrain.We get into why most people's first reaction to the word "cuckolding" is shame or confusion, and why that reaction is almost always wrong. Adreena breaks down the real difference between a hot wife dynamic and a cuckoldress dynamic, why humiliation is usually a small piece of the puzzle rather than the main event, and why compersion — genuinely enjoying your partner's pleasure — is so often the real engine driving this for men.We talk about how couples actually start exploring this safely: communication first, boundaries second, and why over-controlling the experience can backfire. Adreena walks through the biggest mistakes couples make (hint: it usually starts with who you let into the dynamic), the red flags that signal someone isn't a good third-party candidate, and the warning signs that a couple isn't actually ready for this yet. We also get into the Red Pill and Manosphere comparison — because consent is the dividing line, and it changes everything.If you've ever been curious, confused, or quietly judging something you don't fully understand, this conversation will give you the real picture instead of the porn version.In This Episode:00:00 Intro & Aria.FYI01:15 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:45 Meet Adreena Winters02:30 Why Cuckolding Is So Misunderstood04:00 Cuckoldress vs. Hot Wife: What's the Real Difference06:30 Is the Bull Part of the Couple's Dynamic?08:15 Who Usually Initiates: Men or Women?10:00 Cutting Queens & Reversed Dynamics12:00 Where to Start: Communication and Boundaries14:30 No, It's Not Always a Threesome16:00 Biggest Mistakes Couples Make18:30 Red Flags When Vetting a Bull20:30 Signs a Couple Isn't Ready Yet23:00 The Porn Fantasy vs. The Reality26:00 Adreena's Own Relationship & Retiring From Porn28:30 Cuckold Confessions: Filming Real Couples30:00 Finding a Bull: Apps, Sites & Communities31:30 Cuckolding vs. The Manosphere & Red Pill32:30 Is Cuckolding Cheating?33:00 Where to Find Adrena & Closing ThoughtsAbout The Guest:Adreena Winters is a content creator, writer, and educator known for her work exploring cuckolding.

#surrogacy #ivf #surrogatePregnantish's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pregnantish?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Infertility gets labeled “medical” and quietly filed away, but it rarely stays contained. It shows up in your relationship, your finances, your body image, your faith, your friendships, and the way you picture the future. We sit down with relationships author Andrea Surtash, the founder of Pregnantish, to talk about what happens when the old script “first comes love, then baby” stops working and you still want a family more than anything.Andrea shares how she pitched infertility stories to major TV producers and kept hearing the same response: it's too niche. So she built her own platform, anchored in fact-checked fertility education and premium storytelling, and a single vulnerable Facebook post about IVF shots, bruises, and heartbreak sparked the kind of viral response that proved the audience was always there. We unpack why telling the truth out loud helps people find care, build community, and stop feeling like they're in a secret society.We also connect the dots to gestational surrogacy and the stigma that intended parents and surrogates fight every day, including the harmful “transactional” narrative that ignores what surrogacy really looks like in healthy, ethical arrangements. Then Andrea introduces the World Fertility Project, a global movement inviting people to take a free pledge to break the taboo of infertility, plus Fertility Curious, live events designed for anyone who wants fertility testing and reproductive health info before they're in crisis.Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find honest conversations about infertility, IVF, egg freezing, and surrogacy.Website: pregnantish Magazine | Infertility, IVF, Fertility Treatments & MoreSend us Fan Mailhttps://stopsitsurrogate.com

In this special episode of The Marvelists, hosts Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson sit down with acclaimed comic book artist, writer, publisher, and educator Stephen R. Bissette for a wide-ranging conversation that bridges the worlds of mainstream comics, independent publishing, and creative rebellion. Best known for his groundbreaking work on DC's Saga of the Swamp Thing alongside Alan Moore and John Totleben, Bissette brought a revolutionary level of detail, horror, and ecological depth to the title in the 1980s. But his career extends far beyond the Bayou: from co-founding the influential horror anthology Taboo to self-publishing the ambitious Tyrant series—a meticulously researched, life-cycle epic starring a Tyrannosaurus rex that remains a high-water mark in creator-owned comics. Whether you're a Marvel fan curious about the wider industry, a Swamp Thing aficionado, or simply love stories about dinosaur comics and artistic integrity, this episode delivers insights from one of the medium's most thoughtful and uncompromising voices. Expect plenty of behind-the-pages stories, reflections on the evolution of the industry, and why dinosaurs (and swamp monsters) still rule.

He was ordained a half-century ago. He remembers when reverence was expected, when the tabernacle was central, when Catholics knew what they believed and why. Then came the changes, and everything flipped.Father Richard Perricone joins John-Henry Westen to chronicle the transformation that has left the Church unrecognizable. Reverence became taboo. The sacred became optional. The priesthood became confused. And the laity, trained for generations to trust their shepherds, were suddenly told that the faith they had received could be rewritten, reimagined, or simply abandoned.Perricone does not blame Vatican II alone. He blames what came after: the systematic dismantling of Catholic identity by men who saw tradition as an obstacle and ambiguity as a virtue. The loss of the Latin Mass. The sidelining of the tabernacle. The confusion over confession. The collapse of religious orders. The silence of bishops who should have spoken.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

AJ is joined by special guest Lauren Makler, co-founder and CEO of Cofertility, for one of the most honest and eye-opening conversations The Liquidity Event has had to date. Lauren spent almost a decade at Uber before founding Cofertility, a company that helps women freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the eggs retrieved to intended parents who need an egg donor to have a baby. AJ and Lauren dig into the real economics of egg freezing, what it actually costs in 2026 with and without employer coverage, and why the window in which you benefit most from egg freezing is almost always the window in which you can least afford it. They also get into third-party reproduction, why egg donation is fertility's last taboo, and how Cofertility is flipping the traditional transactional model on its head. The conversation goes deeper from there, covering what it is like to raise money as a woman for a women's health startup, why getting men to actually take their paternity leave might be one of the most powerful things we can do to advance workplace equity, and the biggest misconception Lauren hears about fertility that she wishes she could correct at scale. Topics covered: How Cofertility's split program works and who it is designed for The real cost of egg freezing in 2026 with and without insurance Third party reproduction and why egg donation is fertility's last taboo Freezing eggs vs. freezing embryos and what the science actually says Raising money as a woman for a women's health startup How to pressure your employer to offer better fertility benefits Why equal parenting at home is the key to workplace equity Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and welcome to Lauren Makler, co-founder and CEO of Cofertility 01:37 How Cofertility works and why Lauren founded the company 03:56 Why egg donation pricing felt like surge pricing and how Cofertility changed it 05:35 What egg freezing actually involves, explained simply 08:34 What does egg freezing cost in 2026 with and without employer coverage 11:03 How long can frozen eggs last and what the science says about vitrification 13:30 A real case study of Cofertility's split program in action 19:39 What it is like raising money as a woman for a women's health startup 25:34 How to pressure your employer to offer better fertility benefits 30:33 The biggest misconception about egg freezing, Lauren wishes she could correct

"I Hate Dentists" Is a Cry for Help

"No offense, but I hate dentists." Most providers hear it, laugh it off, and lean the chair back. Craig and Peter make the case that it's actually a cry for help, and the doorway to a relationship the patient never leaves. This episode unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions in dentistry: that sales and patient care are in conflict. They argue the opposite. The best dentists are the best communicators. They understand what matters to patients, help them see what's possible, and guide them toward decisions that improve their lives. The conversation digs into the influence and persuasion principles behind their approach, why patients rarely buy treatment plans but will buy certainty and confidence, and how commoditization, negative reviews, and practice culture all trace back to one thing: whether patients feel understood. Because when they do, pricing matters less, trust gets stronger, and the hard conversations get easier. If you've ever felt uncomfortable talking about treatment or presenting fees, this one will change how you walk into the room.   DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 442 HOST: Dr. Craig Spodak and Dr. Peter Boulden In this episode, Craig Spodak and Peter Boulden explores the art of authentic selling in dentistry and explains why influence, trust, and communication are essential skills for every practice owner. Drawing from the work of Robert Cialdini, lessons from business leaders across industries, and years of real-world experience, Peter shares practical frameworks for building stronger patient relationships, communicating value more effectively, and creating a practice that stands out in an increasingly competitive market. TAKEAWAYS Selling and patient care are not opposites Patients make decisions based on trust, not just information Understanding patient values creates better outcomes Influence is a critical skill for practice growth Authentic relationships reduce resistance and increase case acceptance Communication skills often matter more than technical expertise Commoditization occurs when practices fail to differentiate themselves Negative reviews are often symptoms of unmet emotional needs Business principles from other industries apply directly to dentistry Practice culture influences patient experience and retention Continuous business education creates competitive advantages Adding value first makes conversations about treatment easier CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Sales in Dentistry 03:12 The Taboo of Selling in Dentistry 06:00 Building Relationships with Patients 08:55 Understanding Patient Needs 11:59 The Spiritual Aspect of Business 14:49 Conclusion and Key Takeaways REFERENCES Influence by Robert Cialdini Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Mastermind
