In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.  The Question: “Hi there! Been a looooong time listener of the pod and have a question/need for advice. My fiancé and I have been together for almost 4 years, we're in a super healthy relationship, and I feel very happy with him. The last few months or so, our sex life has been a little less than normal and less than what I hoped for. We still have satisfying sex, but not as frequently, and it's pretty formulaic—we go to what we know works. I feel like I'm initiating more (probably 80% me, 20% him), and because of that, I get told no more, which never feels good. I've been wanting to get out of this lull to make our sex life fantastic again. Then a few days ago, I woke up and saw him looking at sexual reels of Instagram models, saving and screenshotting them. He didn't know I could see his screen, and I haven't said anything. We both watch porn and have talked about boundaries—this doesn't cross any, but I still feel so bad/jealous/insecure. I think it's because when we talk about porn abstractly, it's easier to process, but actually seeing it hurt my feelings. My brain keeps telling me the story that he has sexual feelings about these women that he doesn't seem to have about me, and I hate that thought. I'm upset with him, which isn't fair because he didn't break my trust, but it really sucked to see. I'm feeling like I don't want to be affectionate right now. I wish I could be more evolved about this, and I'd love your perspective/advice on how to move past this and not be so hurt by something very normal.” What We Cover in This Episode: How to get out of a sex lull. Whether things have gotten routine or you're not having sex as often as you'd like, we share ways to shift the energy and reignite desire. Rethinking what it means to initiate sex. Initiation doesn't always have to be physical or as blunt as "want to have sex?" We walk through ways to initiate that feel natural, playful, and pressure-free. How to figure out what your partner needs (without guessing). Questions to ask, things to notice, and ways to open up honest convo about how he experiences intimacy and desire. Tools to navigate rejection without resentment. We share strategies to help both partners handle “not tonight” moments with care, like setting expectations, creating opt-in moments, and building connection even when sex isn't on the table. When he's looking at Instagram models...what does it mean and what should you do? We unpack the feelings that come up when your partner engages with sexual content online, how to rework boundaries around it, and what to say if it hurts, even if it technically doesn't “break a rule.” Specific phrases to help you start and steer the conversation. We give you language you can borrow or tweak, including a mini role-play of how we'd personally approach this chat. Tools to spice things up and try something new. From foreplay ideas to spicy games, we suggest ways to add novelty, connection, and fun back into your routine. A big heaping dose of validation, because this is hard. If you're the one initiating most of the time, feeling rejected, or wondering if it's even okay to bring this up, you're not alone, and you're not asking for too much. ⁠Subscribe to our Patreon for downloadables, extended episodes, video episodes + more!⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with my good friend Christy Forsyth—a licensed mental health counselor, certified clinical hypnotherapist, intuitive, and life coach—for a raw and transformative conversation about healing, energy, and spiritual growth. Christy takes us through her incredible evolution from a traditional therapist working in mental health clinics to becoming the founder of Soul Therapy, a dynamic approach that fuses clinical psychology with spirituality, energy work, and intuitive guidance. Her journey is one of courage, authenticity, and divine alignment—proving that you don't have to choose between science and spirit. You can integrate both. We explore her early experiences with intuitive gifts, how she used to suppress them in fear of being misunderstood, and how embracing those gifts allowed her to help clients on a deeper level. Christy shares the story of her spiritual awakening, what it looked like to break free from the limitations of traditional therapy, and how she now supports people in stepping into alignment, raising their vibration, and creating a life of purpose. If you're someone who's felt the call to connect deeper with your intuition, explore energy healing, or find a path that combines mental wellness with spiritual truth, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Christy's transition from clinical therapy to launching her own spiritual wellness brand What “Soul Therapy” is and how it bridges science and spirit How to recognize and develop your intuition—even if you've ignored it for years Tools for raising your energetic frequency and creating a more magnetic life The connection between mental health, energy blocks, and spiritual awakening How to ground your spiritual gifts and integrate them into everyday life Why balancing spiritual expansion with earthly experiences is key to living fulfilled Who This Episode Is For: Seekers on a spiritual journey Therapists and coaches who feel called to work beyond the traditional box Empaths and intuitives who want to understand their energy and gifts Entrepreneurs seeking soul-aligned business strategies Anyone looking for practical steps to live a more aligned and fulfilling life

In this episode we explore the activated nervous system state—better known as fight-or-flight. If you've ever felt anxious, tightly wound, or like your body just can't stop, this one's for you. We explore why your system gets stuck in this high-alert state and, most importantly, provide a practical toolkit to help you work with your nervous system, not against it. Learn why "just calm down" doesn't work and what to do instead to find real regulation.*This episode serves as Part 2 in our "Different States Series"In this episode, you'll learn:What activation actually is and how it shows up in the bodyThe difference between fight and flight energyWhy your system gets stuck in this stateWhat anxiety is trying to tell you through a parts work lensThe most effective in-the-moment tools to help discharge activationWhat doesn't work (and why forcing calm can backfire)The deeper work required to shift out of chronic activation for good3 Takeaways:Your anxiety isn't random.  It's your body saying: “Something doesn't feel safe.” Instead of asking "How do I stop this?" ask "What is my body trying to tell me?"Different states need different support. An activated body needs to move and discharge energy. Trying to force stillness often backfires. The goal isn't to just calm down; it's to help your body complete the stress response.Reactive tools are scaffolding for deeper work. In-the-moment tools are crucial for managing activation, but the long-term goal is to create a life your nervous system doesn't feel the need to constantly escape from by addressing the root causes.Categories of Tools for Activation mentioned in this episode:Movement – march in place, shake out your limbs, push against a wall, stomp, dance, go for a walkBreath (but not deep breathing) – try a physiological sigh (two inhales, one slow exhale), or blow air like you're cooling soupVision resets – slowly scan your environment, do lateral eye movements, shift focus from near to farSensory grounding – cold water, textured objects, strong scents like peppermint or citrusPatterned action – folding laundry, swaying, rocking, tapping rhythmsVoice and sound – humming, shushing, singing, or whispering soothing phrases like “I'm okay, I'm not in danger, I'm safe enough right now.”Parts Work: bring in the parts work perspectiveThe goal of these tools isn't to shut down the activation—it is to help complete it. They use up the energy your body has mobilized. And they begin to signal: “We're okay now.”—Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

Summary This episode is an interview that was featured in the HER Power Summit with Kasia Bradford. I wanted to share it here too! In this episode, Ali Damron shares the often-overlooked connection between postpartum depletion, perimenopause, and nervous system dysregulation—and how these transitions silently shape women's mental, emotional, and physical health. Ali gets real about why so many women feel burnt out, anxious, irritable, and disconnected from their bodies in midlife. You'll learn the truth about estrogen dominance, why your energy might tank even when you sleep well, how chronic stress hijacks your hormones, and the low-lift steps to start regulating your nervous system—without adding to your to-do list. Whether you're struggling with heavy periods, mood swings, insomnia, or just feeling “off,” this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and practical tools for healing.

What if the aches in your body aren't entirely yours? The shoulder pain, the gut tension, or the sense of incompletion might not just be physical. It could be the echo of a secret held for decades, maybe even generations? Because here's the thing: families hold secrets, but those secrets have a way of leaking out or leaving breadcrumbs. And if you're connected to your intuition, you can sense that there's something that's not being said. Most of us were taught to look forward, to toughen up, to leave the past behind. But what if that very suppression is why we can't move forward? What if freedom lives not in forgetting, but in remembering? In this episode, we're joined by spiritual strategist, energy healer, and psychic medium, Christina Trifero. We unpack the heavy cost of secrecy and the methods we can use to bring the unknown and unspoken out into the open. We also discuss how to be a healer without hero-ing yourself or compromising your own essence.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Secrets live in the body Could physical pain or chronic tension be carrying an emotional secret? How does naming what was once unspeakable change your relationship with your body? -Intuition vs. inheritance What's the difference between your soul's knowing and your family's emotional programming? How can you tell what's truly you and what's been passed down? -How not to be a vessel for other people's pain If you're deeply empathetic or energetically sensitive, how do you hold others without absorbing their suffering?   Guest Bio Christina Trifero is a Spiritual Strategist, energy healer, and psychic medium.

A recent study supported by Apple reveals that a new artificial intelligence model, known as the wearable behavior model, can flag health conditions with an impressive accuracy of 92%. This model, trained on over 2.5 billion hours of data from wearable devices, outperforms traditional health prediction methods that rely solely on basic biometric measurements. Researchers found that behavioral data, such as movement and sleep patterns, often provide stronger health signals than conventional metrics. The model has shown superior performance in dynamic health prediction tasks, including detecting pregnancy and assessing sleep quality.In the realm of education, non-profits are leveraging AI to address global inequities. Education Above All, a non-profit organization based in Qatar, has partnered with prestigious institutions like MIT and Harvard to create DigiWise, a free program aimed at improving AI literacy in developing countries. This initiative allows children to combat misinformation and utilize AI tools in the classroom. Their generative AI chatbot, Furby, is currently being used by over 5 million children in India, providing access to project-based learning resources.However, not all news is positive. A study from the AI benchmarking non-profit, METER, indicates that AI coding tools may actually hinder productivity for experienced developers, increasing task completion time by 19%. Developers had expected these tools to save time, but the reality was a slowdown due to factors such as unrealistic expectations, unfamiliarity with repositories, and the complexity of codebases. This highlights a significant gap between the anticipated benefits of AI tools and their actual performance in real-world scenarios.Additionally, a report from Cloud Zero reveals that while 91% of companies believe their AI investments are yielding returns, only half can substantiate this with concrete data. AI budgets are projected to increase significantly, yet many organizations struggle with visibility into their AI costs and return on investment. This situation underscores the need for effective cost tracking and governance in AI investments, as many companies risk overspending without clear evidence of ROI. The podcast emphasizes the importance of focusing on AI financial governance to help clients navigate these challenges and ensure sustainable growth in the sector. Three things to know today 00:00 Wearable AI Achieves 92% Accuracy While Coding Tools Slow Developers by 19%, Reports Find07:08 Model Wars Heat Up: Open Source Kimi K2 Outperforms GPT-4 While Corporates Cut Chatbot Spend11:53 MSP Workflow Wars: New Integrations Highlight Critical Role of Orchestration in IT Services This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship ThreatDown Webinar:  https://bit.ly/threatdown All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular question: What Happens When Software Fails? Originally titled When Coffee Hits the Fan: Developer Disaster Recovery, this AI-enhanced breakdown explores real-world developer mistakes, recovery strategies, and the tools that help turn chaos into control. Whether you're managing your first deployment or juggling enterprise infrastructure, you'll leave this episode better equipped for the moment when software fails. When Software Fails and Everything Goes Down The podcast kicks off with a dramatic (but realistic) scenario: CI passes, coffee is in hand, and then production crashes. While that might sound extreme, it's a situation many developers recognize. Rob and Michael cover some familiar culprits: Dropping a production database Misconfigured cloud infrastructure costing hundreds overnight Accidentally publishing secret keys Over-provisioned “default” environments meant for enterprise use Takeaway: Software will fail. Being prepared is the difference between a disaster and a quick fix. Why Software Fails: Avoiding Costly Dev Mistakes Michael shares an all-too-common situation: connecting to the wrong environment and running production-breaking SQL. The issue wasn't the code—it was the context. Here are some best practices to avoid accidental failure: Color-code terminal environments (green for dev, red for prod) Disable auto-commit in production databases Always preview changes with a SELECT before running DELETE or UPDATE Back up databases or individual tables before making changes These simple habits can save hours—or days—of cleanup. How to Recover When Software Fails Rob and Michael outline a reliable recovery framework that works in any team or tech stack: Monitoring and alerts: Tools like Datadog, Prometheus, and Sentry help detect issues early Rollback plans: Scripts, snapshots, and container rebuilds should be ready to go Runbooks: Documented recovery steps prevent chaos during outages Postmortems: Blameless reviews help teams learn and improve Clear communication: Everyone on the team should know who's doing what during a crisis Pro Tip: Practice disaster scenarios ahead of time. Simulations help ensure you're truly ready. Essential Tools for Recovery Tools can make or break your ability to respond quickly when software fails. Rob and Michael recommend: Docker & Docker Compose for replicable environments Terraform & Ansible for consistent infrastructure GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins for automated testing and deployment Chaos Engineering tools like Gremlin and Chaos Monkey Snapshot and backup automation to enable fast data restoration Michael emphasizes: containers are the fastest way to spin up clean environments, test recovery steps, and isolate issues safely. Mindset Matters: Staying Calm When Software Fails Technical preparation is critical—but so is mindset. Rob notes that no one makes smart decisions in panic mode. Having a calm, repeatable process in place reduces pressure when systems go down. Cultural and team-based practices: Use blameless postmortems to normalize failure Avoid root access in production whenever possible Share mistakes in standups so others can learn Make local environments mirror production using containers Reminder: Recovery is a skill—one you should build just like any feature. Think you're ready for a failure scenario? Prove it. This week, simulate a software failure in your development environment: Turn off a service your app depends on Delete (then restore) a local database from backup Use Docker to rebuild your environment from scratch Trigger a mock alert in your monitoring tool Then answer these questions: How fast can you recover? What broke that you didn't expect? What would you do differently in production? Recovery isn't just theory—it's a skill you build through practice. Start now, while the stakes are low. Final Thought Software fails. That's a reality of modern development. But with the right tools, smart workflows, and a calm, prepared team, you can recover quickly—and even improve your system in the process. Learn from failure. Build with resilience. And next time something breaks, you'll know exactly what to do. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

In this episode of the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole answers the profound listener question:“What’s one of the most effective methods you’ve personally found to cultivate your integrity?” Nicole redefines integrity as spiritual alignment, where our thoughts, emotions, and actions match our belief in Christ. She walks listeners through a 3-part daily rhythm rooted in Scripture and real-life experience: daily praise, daily noticing, and daily confession. This soul-training practice helps listeners learn to live more fully into God’s peace, wisdom, and joy—even in the everyday chaos of life. If you’re longing for a life where what you believe matches how you live, this episode is your roadmap. Main Takeaways Integrity means inner alignment: It’s not just about moral perfection—it’s about connecting your heart, mind, and actions to God’s purposes. It’s a daily journey, not a one-time decision: We don’t just say “yes” to Jesus once—we say it again and again as we walk with Him each day. Nicole’s 3-Step Practice to Cultivate Integrity: Daily Rhythm of Praise – Begin each day acknowledging God’s goodness and aligning your heart with His will. Daily Noticing – Pay attention to moments of anxiety, anger, and apathy—they often reveal areas where God wants to work. Daily Confession – End the day in honesty and grace. Confess missteps and receive the cleansing God promises in 1 John 1:9. God’s Mercy is New Every Morning: Confession isn’t about guilt; it’s about freedom and renewal. You don’t have to feel it to start: Spiritual disciplines begin as choices—and your emotions will often follow your habits.

You've been told to “scale your business”—but what if that advice is keeping you stuck? In this episode, I sit down with the iconic Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, powerhouse CEO of Incredible One Enterprises and the mind behind the Move to Millions Method. Together, we're pulling back the curtain on the real meaning of scaling—and why most entrepreneurs are getting it wrong. If you've ever thought scaling meant jumping from $80K to $100K, or running Facebook ads before you've built a real foundation, you're gonna want to press play. This isn't just strategy—it's a total reframe.

Guest: Ben Filkouski   Guest Bio: ​Ben graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2018. Upon graduating, Ben worked for Goldleaf Development, a Multi-Family Developer in Dane County, where he obtained his Real Estate License. In September of 2019, Ben joined Madison Commercial Real Estate. Since joining Madison Commercial Real Estate, Ben has become a Partner with the firm, obtained his Real Estate Brokers License, and earned his CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation.  Ben currently serves on the board of Commercial Brokers Group Inc. (CBG) a CRE Organization based out of Madison, WI. CBG recognizes top deals completed annually, and Ben has won Land Deal of the Year in 2021 & Overall Deal of the Year in 2021, Industrial Deal of the Year in 2022, and Land Deal of the Year in 2024. Ben is also an active member in the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin (CARW) where he was formerly on the NextGen Committee and was runner-up for Industrial Deal of the Year for the State of Wisconsin in 2022. Ben is also an active member with Smart Growth Greater Madison, a real estate development lobbying & networking organization.   Key Points: Entry into Real Estate: Ben initially resisted going into real estate despite a family background in it. He became interested after experiencing different aspects like construction, deal-making, and sales. Ben fell in love with real estate during a brokerage role, especially the dynamic nature of the work and helping clients grow.   Unexpected Career Path: Ben originally considered a career in the arts due to a love of creative thinking and writing. He found that creativity and communication are actually essential to being successful in real estate sales.   Natural Networker: Networking comes naturally due to a talkative personality and curiosity about people. Ben enjoys building relationships, whether or not they lead to direct business. He learned the value of strategic networking, focusing on a few meaningful conversations rather than quantity. He uses networking as a way to stay top of mind for real estate opportunities.   Team Growth & Hiring Philosophy: Ben recently grew the team by hiring two new associates. Hiring isn't based solely on experience, personality, drive, and communication skills are more important. Ben looks for self-motivation, competitiveness, and professionalism. He emphasizes the long timeline before new brokers become profitable, so cultural and personal fit is essential.   Screening New Hires: Ben created a detailed training portal designed to take 50–60 hours. He doesn't tell new hires how long it should take—completion speed reveals attention to detail and commitment. He uses early performance during training as a key indicator of long-term potential.   Managing Associates: One challenge is frequent interruptions that break focus. Ben implements short, scheduled check-ins (10–15 minutes) instead of ad hoc questions. This structure improves efficiency for both managers and associates. Ben believes some level of independence should be expected after the initial learning phase.   Culture and Success Metrics: Culture encourages brokers to “live the lifestyle”—be self-driven, schedule smartly, and network. The firm has seen improved success rates and retention since implementing more structured onboarding and evaluation systems.     Guest Links: Connect on LinkedIn Connect on Instagram https://madisoncommercialre       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither  let them be afraid." -John 14:26-27   Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.   On this episode, host Sandra Flach talks with adoptive mom, Crystal Dethlefs. Crystal is a woman of faith, a mother of 7 young adults, and has been married to her high school sweetheart, Mike, for 37 years. She homeschooled her older children thru graduation and has over 22 years of lived experience parenting children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).    Crystal's personal journey began when 4 of her adopted children—initially diagnosed without guidance by a doctor at an ADHD clinic—were later confirmed to have FASD. This launched her into years of dedicated research, advocacy, and training. She has received training in FASCETS, TBRI®, Families Moving Forward, and participates in Jeff Noble's Caregiver Club coaching program. Crystal currently serves as the Parent Advocate at The Florida Center FASD Clinic and sits on her local Behavioral Healthcare Advisory Committee.

What happens when a 13-year-old girl looks out her bedroom window and locks eyes—just six inches away—with something impossible? In this chilling and emotional episode, we meet Sandra, a lifelong North Alabama resident who experienced five encounters with a Sasquatch in just two weeks back in 1972. From face-to-face stares through a window to watching a black figure peer into her family's chicken houses, Sandra takes us through vivid, terrifying moments that stayed with her for life. We revisit her farm—stocked with fish, livestock, fruit trees, and caves—and explore the strange patterns that continued decades later, including fresh footprints, whoops in the night, and handprints left on glass. You'll also hear about the local church revival that was shut down by a peeking Bigfoot, and what Sandra's family wouldn't say out loud.Set near the edge of Bankhead National Forest, this is more than just a Bigfoot sighting—it's a multigenerational mystery wrapped in Southern tradition, Cherokee ancestry, and the deep woods of Alabama.Resources: Wood Walkerz Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@woodwalkerz
