In this episode, I'm sitting down with Justin and Natalie Weeks, the founders of Evree Intimate Massage Oil and Lubricant, to talk about how one thoughtful idea completely transformed their intimacy and could change yours too. We dive into the surprising benefits of using a truly natural, skin-loving intimate product, why lube is essential (not optional!), and how communication and playfulness can take a good marriage and make it great. Justin and Natalie share their story of creating a product that's 100% natural, edible, safe for sensitive skin, and doubles as both a massage oil and lubricant, plus how it's changed the way they connect in and out of the bedroom. Whether you're navigating dryness, menopause, or just wanting more pleasure and connection, this conversation is full of encouragement and practical insight for couples of faith. Tune in to hear why investing in intimacy matters and how something as simple as the right lubricant can bring more joy, confidence, and closeness into your marriage.

In this episode of "The Pulling Curls Podcast: Pregnancy & Parenting Untangled," Hilary Erickson | The Pregnancy Nurse® is joined by Erin Galloway from She Might to discuss the complexities of unplanned and unexpected pregnancies.

Big thanks to our sponsor The Online Prenatal Class for Couples -- if you're looking for support & helping your partner support you too -- it's the class for you! Today's guest is Erin Galloway. Erin is a licensed master social worker and certified perinatal mental health professional dedicated to empowering women, supporting families, and connecting people with resources and community.

Many misconceptions exist about unplanned pregnancies, such as the belief they mostly happen to teenagers or people in crisis, when in reality, they affect people from all walks of life. Feeling conflicted, numb, overwhelmed, or not immediately excited about a pregnancy is normal—even among those who tried to conceive or are experienced in pregnancy and childbirth. Unplanned pregnancies can trigger complex emotions, including grief for one's previous lifestyle, personal identity, and future plans that are suddenly shifted or delayed. The reactions of partners, family, and friends to the news of an unexpected pregnancy can be surprising or disappointing, often because they, too, are processing shock or need time to adjust. Grief around unexpected pregnancy is valid—people may experience ambiguous or disenfranchised grief, mourning the loss of their former freedoms or the plans they thought they'd have. There is a wide spectrum of feelings experienced throughout pregnancy and postpartum, no matter how the pregnancy happened; bonding with the baby and feelings about motherhood develop differently for everyone. Support groups, mental health professionals, and online communities like She Might provide essential resources and a sense of belonging for those navigating unexpected pregnancies. Social media tends to showcase only the positive or "picture-perfect" aspects of pregnancy and motherhood, but tough emotions and struggles are far more common than people might share publicly. Recognizing and celebrating small wins, seeking help, and finding ways to bring pieces of pre-pregnancy joy into new routines can help parents cope and adapt through the journey of an unplanned pregnancy.

Bill Peebles (research lead), Rohan Sahai (product lead), and Thomas Dimson (engineering/product lead with Instagram background) discuss the unexpected viral success of Sora's launch, the product journey that led to the breakthrough "cameo" feature (putting yourself in AI-generated videos), and their philosophy of building a creator-first social network that prioritizes human creativity over passive consumption.

Mindset Theory and Activation w/ Tiffany SmithI've always known I was here to build something meaningful.Long before I had the words for it, I felt the pull of vision.Not just a desire to create, but a need to. A need to turn feeling into form.To make beauty with purpose.To bridge the invisible with the visible.To tell stories that move people, because they moved me first.My creative journey wasn't linear, it was a series of awakenings.Moments that cracked me open.Unexpected sparks that felt like they chose me, not the other way around.A scene in a TV show that made my entire life shift direction.A song lyric that followed me for years before revealing its meaning.An Apple computer in a college classroom that suddenly felt like home.I didn't chase inspiration, it found me.And every time it did, I followed.Because I'm not just a creative professional, I'm a vessel for the things that can't be put into words, until I give them shape.I've lived what it means to feel unseen,to have vision, and voice, and heart, but not yet the platform.So now, I create work that sees people.That tells the truth.That reflects the soul behind the story.I'm here to build things that matter.Whether it's through photography, creative direction, storytelling, branding, or collaboration,I bring heart, clarity, vision, and resonance.Not just strategy.Not just style.But something that lasts.Links:https://www.creatiffity.me/https://www.instagram.com/creatiffity22/#Tags:ArtistBand DirectorCreativeCreative DirectorFilm DirectorGraphic DesignerMindsetPhotographySupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

Luke 19:1-10 - He [Jesus] entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was about to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried and came down and received Him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
