Podcasts about touch

Episode 970 asks why Democrats are always expected to play by rules that Republicans openly mock and destroy, and whether apologies from Trump voters mean anything without actual accountability. Drawing on one writer's (Jamil Smith) refusal to accept an apology from a Trump voter, the show tackles the question of what comes after "I'm sorry" in American politics.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Most coaches are trained to do one thing well: either push clients forward with action and accountability or take them deep with insight and awareness. Great coaches do both — at the same time. In this episode of The Art School of Coaching, I break down what it actually means to move a client deep and forward simultaneously, why most coaching training fails to teach this skill, and how that gap leads to unsustainable results, resistance, and client frustration. You'll learn: Why action without depth creates temporary change Why insight without tools increases overwhelm The psychology behind sustainable behavior change The ABC Model (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence) and how it's used in evidence-based coaching How to rework beliefs and implement aligned behavior for lasting results If you want to coach using science-backed frameworks, create deeper client transformations, and build a coaching practice based on science — this episode is for you.

Gavin Lubbe - Reach Out and Touch Him by Living Faith Church

"Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient."― Steve Maraboli Check Out These Highlights:  I chose today's quote because I believe life isn't easy, yet it helps us build inner strength that comes only through adversity and challenge. During today's episode, we will have an important conversation about the mental game behind peak performance in a fast-changing world. My guest breaks down how leaders, athletes, and everyday professionals can train their focus, strengthen resilience, and use purpose as fuel—especially in the age of AI. You will learn how to turn pressure into clarity, activate the brain's opportunity-seeking system, and build the mindset needed to perform at your best, no matter the field. About Alfredo Sheldon: Alfredo is a leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and author who helps people perform at their peak in high-pressure, fast-changing environments. He specializes in Positive Psychology, resilience, and purpose-driven performance. His upcoming book, The Human Upgrade, explores how to stay focused, motivated, and adaptive in the age of AI.

When you spend years focused on raising a family, it's easy to lose touch with the quieter parts of yourself—your preferences, rhythms, curiosity, and needs. The role works. The structure holds. And then one day, the intensity eases, and you're left wondering who you are without constant responsibility guiding every decision. On this episode of Motherhood Talk Radio, Sandra Beck explores how to reconnect with yourself after the family-raising years without guilt or urgency. This conversation looks at the disorientation that can come with role changes, the grief and relief that often coexist, and the slow, deliberate process of remembering what matters to you now. This episode isn't about reinventing your entire life overnight. It's about listening again—paying attention to what energizes you, what drains you, and what deserves space in this next chapter. You didn't disappear while raising a family. You were evolving. Now it's time to come back to yourself.

In this episode, I'm exploring the power of focused, intentional touch as a tool for nervous system regulation in dogs. We'll break down three supportive modalities—massage, TTouch, and acupressure—and how each one influences the autonomic nervous system in different ways.You'll learn how these approaches can help reduce stress, improve body awareness, and support emotional regulation, especially in dogs living in chronic hyperarousal or shutdown. I'll also walk you through when touch is appropriate, when it's not, and how to begin in a way that feels safe and consent-based for your dog.If you're working with a sensitive, reactive, anxious, or easily overwhelmed dog, this episode will help you understand which type of touch may be the best fit—and how to use it thoughtfully as part of a regulation-centered support plan.dogspeak101.comdogspeakgeek.thinkific.compatreon.com/dogspeakTTouchAcupressure

In this episode, I answer three honest and intimate questions from my community about mental arousal and fantasy, shame or disgust around self-touch, and burning or sensitivity at the vaginal entrance. We explore why the brain is essential for pleasure, where the “dirty” feeling around touching yourself comes from, and how to listen to your body when it communicates through sensation rather than symptoms. In this episode: Why mental arousal and fantasy are a natural and necessary part of pleasure Letting go of judgment around needing erotic imagination to feel turned on Where the “dirty” feeling around self-touch is learned and how to change it Psychological, subconscious, and somatic roots of sexual shame Burning or sensitivity at the vaginal entrance as tension or stored communication How to gently explore sensation through presence, touch, and body awareness Related episodes: 109: Q&A: Sex questions we're afraid to ask (but should) → 107: Q&A – rebuilding desire, expressing needs, unhealthy fantasies, overcoming shame and MORE →

Bob Weir passed away just over a month ago. He was a giant in the world of American roots music. A founding member of the Grateful Dead, after Jerry Garcia's death he went on the play with RatDog, Dead & Company, and of course Bob Weird and Wolf Bros. His musical legacy is unparalleled and his tunes will live on! In this episode we take a look at three songs he wrote; Truckin', Sugar Magnolia, and Touch of Grey. RIP Bob Weir! 

Send a textOn this week's episode of The Book Fix, your hosts, Yajaira and Cheli are talking about A Soul to Touch by Opal Reyna. This is the third book in the series where our main character, Mayumi, has only ever wanted to hunt demons, but she was cast out. She isolates herself in the forest, doing the one thing she knows best: killing monsters. But one night, the creature drawn to her trap isn't a demon—it's Faunus. A skull-faced, feline monster she recognizes immediately because he once saved her life long ago.

Have you ever wished you had thorns? Have you ever felt like you needed to protect your heart, your space, your peace of mind, or your time from a world that asks too much of you – or takes without asking? You're not alone. This is what thorn medicine can bring you.Thorns aren't weapons, they're defenses. They don't seek an animal or human out with the intent to cause harm, they hold space and define boundaries. Touch me here, says the rose, but not there. Admire my flowers, says the motherwort, but don't you dare clutch my seeds. We can learn from this.We can take the medicine of thorns into ourselves. We can do this literally, not only (oh, “only”!) metaphorically or symbolically. Most all thorny herbs, and particularly the thorns themselves, carry a key herbal action: astringency. This is an action which literally pulls things together, and holds things together.Each plant's thorn is different, serving its own purpose. Hawthorn's long, widely spaced thorns evolved to counter the hungers of the giant sloth, and they retain that shape long after the lumbering herbivore went extinct: they are the living memory of a predator past. Ocotillo's inexhaustible rows of spines render it no more easy a prey than the cactus who share its landscape. Thistle spikes out from every possible surface, asserting itself in all directions as its firework flowers reach for the sky. Which thorns are yours?Pull yourself together. Hold your boundaries. Make a safe space.Then, within that thorn-walled refuge, your flowers will unfold.Thorn medicine is only one form of support herbs can offer our emotions. Our Neurological & Emotional Health course is a user's guide to your nerves, your emotions, and the herbs who can lift you, hold you, brace you, and sustain you. We teach holistic herbal strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues. It includes a lengthy discussion of herbal pain management strategies, too!Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

There's a unspoken soundtrack running in pelvic rehab:“Patients should be better in 6–8 visits.”Most of us don't say it out loud.But it shapes how we plan care, how we discharge patients, and how we judge ourselves.In this episode, we break down:Where this belief actually comes from (hint: insurance, not biology)Why it doesn't hold up under scrutinyHow it quietly contributes to burnoutAnd how it impacts patient outcomesWe ask three important questions:Is it true?Is it helpful?Is it kind?When you look at how other specialties practice.....or how long research studies are conducted for....or tissue healing timelines, motor learning, scar remodeling, behavior change, and nervous system regulation… none of them peak at visit 6.  The soundtrack isn't true.And it's certainly not helpful.  Not for your patients.  Not for yourself with the extra pressure it creates.  And not for our field.Lastly, it certainly isn't kind.  You would never tell another therapist they aren't any good because they couldn't get a complex patient better in 6-8 visits - yet we're telling ourselves that all the time.So we need to retire this broken soundtrack (as Jon Acuff would say).We also give you three ways to check whether you've actually internalized this — or whether the soundtrack is still running the show:Review your last 50 plans of careNotice how you feel at visit 4 if someone isn't dramatically betterPay attention to your response when someone asks, “How long until I get better?”This episode kicks off a deeper exploration of time in pelvic rehab — because patient outcomes aren't just about skill.They're about skill × time.And if we artificially limit the time we spend, we cap the results for our patients.About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 900+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them! Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email (nicole@pelvicsanity.com).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!

Making observations in nature isn't just about what we see. Scientists use (almost) all of their senses to make observations, and in this video, we are focusing on the sense of touch. After exploring nature through sight, sound, and smell, it's now time to focus on the textures of nature and discover how different plants, surfaces, and organisms actually feel. Make sure to watch the ENTIRE video and read ALL of the text here for best practices for you and wildlife, as well as helpful apps to identify organisms.In this activity, I challenge you to head outside and search for as many different textures as you can find in nature. Can you find something rough like bark? Soft like moss? Fuzzy, smooth, or prickly? Even in wintertime, you'll find lots of different textures to explore!IMPORTANT: Before touching anything, make sure you know what wildlife in your area could be harmful, such as poison ivy or venomous animals. If you're ever unsure about an organism, don't touch it.Some organisms may surprise you! For instance, I talk about the cup plant, which has leaves that feel like tough sandpaper.Even in wintertime, you'll find lots of different textures to explore!IMPORTANT: Before touching anything, make sure you know what wildlife in your area could be harmful, such as poison ivy or venomous animals. If you're ever unsure about an organism, don't touch it. Tools like the Seek by iNaturalist app can assist with identifications through their built-in AI system. IMPORTANT: When it comes to animals, completely avoid touching mammals and birds, as this can harm them. Some amphibians, reptiles, and insects may be handled carefully if they are safe and non-venomous, and any animal you handle should be handled minimally and released afterward to reduce stress on the animal. Wear gloves when handling amphibians to protect their sensitive skin.Observing nature through touch and the other senses helps kids slow down and mindfully engage with their surroundings. I invite you to ask your children to reflect not only on WHAT they feel, but HOW they feel. For instance, how does being in nature make your child feel? Calm? Curious? Excited? Join us as we step outside, explore textures, and practice observing the natural world with fresh curiosity!Does your child love animals? Support and grow your child's passion for wildlife in my free training, Animals Everywhere! Parents, caretakers, and educators: You'll discover how to get your child outside, curious, and engaged in REAL science for a lifetime of experiential learning...without one-off kits, a lot of time, or complicated instructions.

Send a textOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are searching the world for the love that we lost. We watched the 2024 film from Baltasar Kormákur, Touch.Sometimes love doesn't work out how it's idealized in the things we read and watch. Sometimes we can live a picture perfect romance story. Other times, our great loves can disappear seemingly forever.What we can do is always look and fight for the people we love and who love us back. Our movie this week teaches us that one moment doesn't have to be forever.(Recorded on November 17, 2025)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:Touch - The Movie Database (TMDB)Touch trailer - YouTubeEgill Ólafsson — The Movie Database (TMDB)Mitsuki Kimura — The Movie Database (TMDB)Pálmi Kormákur Baltasarsson — The Movie Database (TMDB)Masahiro Motoki — The Movie Database (TMDB)Yoko Narahashi — The Movie Database (TMDB)We Live in Time (2024) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Follow Us:Give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Sean's Letterboxd profile!Steven's Letterboxd profile!Our Buzzsprout site!Our Instagram profile!Support the show

In this beautiful episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore the connection between Reiki and Hinduism through the lived experience of a student who walks with both traditions every day. Rather than approaching the topic academically, we enter it the way Reiki enters our lives—gently, honestly, and through the doorway of personal truth.Together, we talk about how Hindu philosophy, deities, and devotional practices inform her healing journey, and how Reiki has become a supportive thread woven through it all. We look at where the two paths naturally harmonize, how they differ, and how they can coexist in a way that is both respectful and deeply nourishing.We also touch on some of the common questions and misunderstandings people have about integrating different spiritual traditions. And through it all, you'll hear a theme that runs through everything I teach: that Source—whatever name you use—is bigger than any one system, and that when we listen with our hearts—and with Reiki—we're always guided toward what strengthens, uplifts, and heals.If you've ever wondered how Reiki can align with religious or devotional practices… or if you simply enjoy hearing the many beautiful ways people walk their spiritual path, this conversation will open your heart and expand your understanding.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Get in Touch with Ankitha:Instagram: @healingwithankitha Email: healingwithankitha@gmail.com Website www.healingwithankitha.com Register for our newsletter!

Today, we dive into Dan Hill's 1977 mega-ballad, "Sometimes When We Touch." Often labeled the ultimate "weeper," this track explores themes of masculine fragility and raw vulnerability. These concepts commonplace today but groundbreaking for the late 1970s. We discuss how a 19-year-old Hill penned these intense lyrics to compete for the affection of a polyamorous woman who was simultaneously dating a professional football player and a photographer. We also examine the song's unlikely collaboration with songwriter Barry Mann, which helped propel the track to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 during a week otherwise dominated by the Bee Gees. From death-defying encounters involving a gun in the Bahamas to a hostage-like bowling incident, we explore how Hill endured his "albatross" until he recognized it as an open door to a world of opportunities. Join us as we analyze the lyrics and determine if this polarizing hit is truly a guilt-free pleasure or simply "too effing intense" for the average listener! 1970s video 1990s video SCTV "High Q" Sketch Thank you for listening!

Episode 969 explores how politicians and media use vague phrases like "the American people," "the voters," and "the public" without anyone agreeing on what these terms actually mean. Driftglass and Blue Gal trace these polyfunctional words through American history, from Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth to Nixon's "silent majority" and today's political battles over who gets to speak for the nation. They examine how these phrases do political work rather than descriptive work, often excluding people while claiming to represent everyone. The episode reveals why this ambiguous language matters so much in the ongoing fight over American democracy and who counts as part of "we the people."Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

There are not many aspects this week.There is only… everything.We are in the thick of endings. Not tidy endings. Not Instagram-quote endings. The kind that feel like collapse. The kind that feel like crisis. The kind that ask you to sit very still in the dark and listen.This is eclipse week.This is the first Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries.This is the Year of the Fire Horse.Bold action. Rapid innovation. Dramatic societal change. Spiritual acceleration.You may not see mass awakening on the surface.But I assure you — it is happening.The old world is cracking. And when systems crack, nervous systems feel it first.So this week is not about performance.It is about listening.

A romantic comedy starring Cary Grant and Doris Day who meet unexpectedly and try to figure out what type of relationship works best for both of them: casual or serious?  Co-starring Audrey Meadows, Gig Young and John Astin.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I'm joined by Andrea, a breathwork practitioner and somatic guide who knows what it is to live from the neck up, and then find her way back into the body.In this conversation, we speak about nervous system regulation, breath as medicine, and the slow, exacting process of learning to listen when the body speaks. Andrea shares her journey out of corporate life, through IBS, migraines, and numbing, and into a way of working that is rooted in sensation, presence, and felt truth.This episode is about returning to your body, not as a project, but as a home. It is about what happens when you stop overriding yourself and begin to feel.Episode Summary In this episode, Andrea and I move through breathwork, trauma release, and the subtle signals the body gives long before crisis arrives. We talk about coherence breathing, the intelligence of the nervous system, and how overbreathing can quiet the default mode network so deeper knowing can surface.We also speak openly about relationships, how one partner's awakening can shake the foundation of a couple, and how repair, honesty, and attunement create deeper intimacy than touch alone.This conversation is an invitation to slow your breathing, soften your attention, and trust that your body is always telling you the truth.Key Takeaways Breath Is a Bridge Back to SelfWhen you slow the breath, the body settles. When the body settles, clarity arrives.Your Symptoms Are Not the ProblemIBS, migraines, and anxiety are not random. They are messages that become louder when ignored.Regulation Creates ChoiceWhen you can feel your body, you can meet rejection, disappointment, or trigger without collapsing into it.Repair Is More Intimate Than PerfectionMisattunement will happen. How you come back together is where the real intimacy lives.Lightness Is a Felt StateWhen people release what they have been holding, they don't just think differently. They feel lighter.Anxiety Can Be TolerableNot by fighting it, but by knowing it moves through you, not defines you.Resources and Links

She founded a charity that trains midwives on clean, sanitary practices and provides lifesaving interventions to pregnant women in rural Pakistan. We discuss why 50% of global maternal deaths happen in just four countries, and how evidence based measures can save lives.We also talk about how menopause presents differently across cultures and populations, the cultural barriers women face when seeking care, and why conversations about hormones and aging remain deeply stigmatized in many regions. While symptoms may vary, what's universal is how much work we still have to do whether it's PCOS and insulin resistance, young cancer survivors entering menopause without follow up care, or ensuring every woman understands why vaginal estrogen matters.This conversation is about cultural humility, global health disparities, and why education about perimenopause needs to start in schools, not at age 40.Highlights:Maternal mortality is concentrated in just four countries, but simple interventions like clean supplies and IV iron can save lives.Menopause symptoms present differently across populations South Asian women experience more joint pain and mood issues than hot flashes.Cultural expectations around fertility and aging create additional barriers for women seeking menopause care.Young cancer survivors are sent home at 23 in menopause with no follow-up care or education about long-term health risks.Vaginal estrogen reduces death risk by 70% and should be part of routine care for women over 40.The average age of suicide for women in the UK is 51, and 70% of divorces happen after menopause.Get in Touch with Dr. Malick:SubstackInstagramLinkedInGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackMentioned in this episode:GSM CollectiveThe GSM Collective - Chicago Boutique concierge gynecology practice Led by Dr. Sameena Rahman, specialist in sexual medicine & menopause Unrushed appointments in a beautiful, private setting Personalized care for women's health, hormones, and pelvic floor issues Multiple membership options available Ready for personalized women's healthcare?

We know better. We know outcomes are about consistency, skill, time, and effort.And then we turn around and do the exact same thing in our businesses.In this episode, we talk honestly about the ways practice owners distract themselves chasing shortcuts instead of doing the work that actually grows a business.We break down common “magic bullet” traps:Facebook or Instagram ads will fix everythingSelling a course will create passive incomeTelehealth will magically expand your reachBuying expensive equipment (Shockwave, RTUS, Emsella, red light therapy) will generate leadsRenting space from a physician who will “definitely” refer patientsGetting another certification that patients aren't asking aboutNone of these are inherently bad.But none of them are magic.At the end of the day, business success is a simple formula:Clear direction × Hard workYou have to know where you're going. You have to know what actually matters. And you have to be willing to put in the work.If you do that, you'll build something meaningful. If you keep chasing shortcuts, you'll stay stuck.This episode is tough love — but it's the kind that moves you forward.About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 800+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them! Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email (nicole@pelvicsanity.com).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!

Every woman has done the things we talked about in this episode. The wrong products, the rushed appointments, the TikTok hacks that made their hair worse instead of better.

If you have ever walked into a salon feeling overwhelmed, unsure or a little embarrassed about the state of your hair, this episode will feel like a deep breath.

A mysterious drug overdose kills new mom Christina Harris. Would she leave behind a crucial clue that actually points to a killer? (OAD 11/29/22) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After a blowout loss, Will Campbell reveals he played through a torn knee ligament and skipped the podium. Was he being honest or did it come off as making excuses. The guys debate whether athletes are better off saying nothing after tough losses and why injury explanations always land differently when they come from the player himself. The conversation then shifts to a major NFL offseason topic sparked by Adam Schefter, as reports suggest at least one team wants to extend how far into the future draft picks can be traded. Would moving from three years to five years help teams or completely mess with accountability. Plus, thoughts on proposed rule changes like replacing the onside kick with fourth-and-long and why some ideas sound smarter in theory than reality.
