What if the Book of Jonah isn't really about a fish at all—but about mercy? In this episode of Sunday School Remix, Pastor Nate takes us beyond the familiar children's version of Jonah and invites us to wrestle with the deeper question at the heart of the story: Have we turned God's blessings inward, or are we living as a blessing to others?This isn't a story about being afraid of running from God. It's a story about grace that extends further than we expect—and a calling that sends us toward compassion, not comfort.What You'll Learn:Why Jonah is likely a theological parable, not just historyHow the plant in Jonah 4 reframes the entire storyWhat it means to be “blessed to be a blessing”Why God's mercy toward others can unsettle usHow this story shapes our calling todayScripture:Jonah 1–4Genesis 12 (covenant and blessing)Luke 15 (The Prodigal Son)Matthew 20:15 (“Are you envious because I am generous?”)If this episode helped you see Jonah in a new way, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who might need a fresh word about grace.Connect with Bethany:

In this message, from Pastor Levi Lusko, we're challenged to examine whether we're truly running the life of faith, or just drifting along the course. Looking at Hebrews 12, this message reminds us that following Jesus isn't passive. God has set a race before each of us, and He intends to reward faithfulness. At the same time, Scripture warns that the enemy is actively trying to steal what God wants to place in our hands.This message explores:The reality of eternal rewards and the Heavenly crowns available to usHow distraction and forgetfulness quietly pull us off paceThe importance of remembering our callingRunning with focus, attention, and effortHebrews tells us to “run with endurance the race set before us, looking unto Jesus.” You're not racing against anyone else, you're running the course God uniquely designed for you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Are we getting too lazy to think without AI?You use it for emails, reports, research. It saves time. But every shortcut you take, every task you hand over, you feel a quiet trade-off happening. Efficiency for autonomy. Speed for depth. Convenience for critical thinking.In this episode:Why AI acts as a cosmic mirror that reflects our worst habits back at usHow laziness becomes the trap when machines can outthink, outwork, and outlast usWhat happens when humans drift into digital dependency instead of staying groundedWhy short-term pain might be necessary for long-term transformationHow to decide which tasks to outsource and which require you to stay sharpWhat the hero's journey teaches us about navigating AI's crucibleGuest: Jeff Burningham, author of The Last Book Written by a Human and former gubernatorial candidate. He believes AI is forcing humanity to confront an uncomfortable question: Are we ready to evolve, or will we choose the easy path and lose ourselves in the process?

"Hello and welcome! I'm Jonathan Gouthier, a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut and host of the Faith First Podcast. Do you know you are fearfully and wonderfully made just as God intended you to be? Scripture speaks to us about life. How it is sacred from cradle to eternity. That's what today's message by our Lead Pastor Steven Darr is all about So, let's listen in…In this episode, you'll discover:Why is life so valuable to God and to usHow do Jesus' teachings reinforce the value of human lifeWhat obstacles devalue human lifeHow the strategy of Satan is to distort what God has said about your lifeDespite eternal truths, we see the value of life diminished in various ways within our society. Each year, millions of lives are lost, lives that God Himself has intricately woven together in the womb. This rejection of the sanctity of life grieves the heart of our Creator and ought to grieve our hearts. If you've been listening to the Faith First Podcast for a while, we thank you.

This is a catch-up, with context.I'm recording from Vietnam, and in this week's episode I'm talking about how this two-month adventure came to be.I'm also sharing what January has actually looked like day to day.My routine.What I'm investing in.How I'm eating.What I'm reading.How I'm sleeping (my Oura Ring has opinions).And what's genuinely supporting me right now.I also share some real-life setbacks, and what that's required of Steph and me, and what I've noticed about support, rest, and emotional reactivity when we actually take care of ourselves.We get into:Why we chose Vietnam and why this setup works for usHow environment affects energy, work, and well-beingMy current routine, and why it's different to previous yearsWhy my body feels so good right nowWhat my Oura Ring is showing me about stress, rest, and sleepThe judgement I've been carrying around rest and television and what the data says insteadI also get into consistency, my word of the year, and walk you through exactly what I'm tracking right now, and why it matters to me more than intensity or extremes.Consistency isn't about rigidity anymore.It's about staying aligned, even when location, constraints, and energy change.What's been most interesting isn't any single habit.It's what tracking shows me when I stay curious instead of judgemental.If you need a nudge to pay attention to what's actually supporting you — because that's where the insight is — this episode is for you.With love,Kaya

Today's episode is not the one I planned to release. I was supposed to share an interview I was excited about, but it didn't feel right to move forward after the tragic killings by ICE agents in Minnesota. Families are grieving. Communities are scared. And pretending everything is normal felt like the wrong move.In this solo emergency episode, I speak honestly about not having the right words, but choosing to not stay silent. The Healthy Project was created to shine a light on the systems that harm people, and what happened in Minnesota is not just a headline. It is state violence. It is the predictable result of a system built on fear and enforcement.This episode is about sitting with discomfort, naming what's happening, and turning awareness into action. I share why immigration enforcement has always been violent, why no human being deserves to die because of documentation status, and what you can do right now to support impacted communities.We talk about:The ICE killings in Minnesota and why this matters to all of usHow silence protects harmful systemsThe human cost behind immigration enforcementWays you can take action through education, mutual aid, and community supportThis is a heavy episode. But it's a necessary one. You don't need perfect words to show up. You just need to refuse to look away. ★ Support this podcast ★

Understanding how the Federal Reserve communicates, how markets price expectations, and how policy shifts flow through real estate is essential for making informed decisions.If you want clarity on where rates, housing, and the economy may be headed next, this episode breaks it down in plain English.

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I'm Camille Kinzler, and today's episode is one of my favorite kinds of conversations — the kind that seems simple on the surface, but actually changes the way you see your life.We talk a lot about food, supplements, habits, and routines… but what if one of the most powerful influences on your health isn't what you're doing — it's who you're doing life with?In this episode, I explore how the people you surround yourself with don't just shape your mindset or behavior — they literally shape your biology. Through the lens of epigenetics, nervous system regulation, and lived experience, we'll look at how proximity, conversations, and emotional environments quietly influence your energy, hormones, and resilience.In this episode, I share:A sweet listener story about staying grounded during busy seasons — and why small, shared rituals matterThe simple “broccoli for breakfast” moment that perfectly illustrates the power of proximityWhy we naturally absorb the habits, language, and rhythms of the people around usHow relationships influence gene expression through epigenetics (think dimmer switches, not destiny)The role of co-regulation — and why calm, grounded people teach your nervous system how to respond to the worldWhy “keeping up with the Joneses” can be nourishing when we choose the right JonesesHow to notice who you gravitate toward in social settings — and what that reveals about your internal stateThe difference between growth rooted in self-judgment versus growth rooted in curiosity and playA gentle invitation to seek out relationships that support who you're becomingThis episode isn't about cutting people out of your life or forcing change. It's about awareness. Because when you understand how deeply your environment shapes you, you get to choose proximity with intention — and that choice can quietly transform your health, your energy, and your joy.Big TakeawaysYour relationships influence your nervous system, hormones, and gene expression.Growth happens through proximity — often without effort or force.Calm, regulated people help your body learn safety and ease.Curiosity-based growth creates expansion; shame-based growth creates pressure.Small exposures can create big shifts over time.I'd love to hear from youWho in your life helps you feel calmer, lighter, more yourself?Reach out to them this week — or send me a message and tell me what this episode stirred in you.If you're tired of feeling exhausted, irritable, moody, and just not like yourself, schedule a free 30-minute consultation so I can help you feel like YOU again Fill out this brief form (2 min) to schedule a free 30-minute call.

Europe's Housing Imbalance and the Living Opportunity with Tom Livelli, Partner and Head of Living Strategies, Europe at EQT Real Estate This week, I sat down with Tom Livelli to dive into how Europe's chronic housing undersupply, shifting renter behaviour, and capital rotation are shaping one of the most compelling living strategies in global real estate today.   Tom is a Partner with EQT Real Estate and Head of Living Strategies, Europe, based in Madrid. Before EQT, he helped build Greystar's South American business from a laptop in a Santiago coffee shop into a billion dollar platform, and previously led large scale residential and mixed use projects in the US, Latin America, and Central America. His career spans military housing, emerging markets, and now a pan European living platform backed by EQT's active ownership model.   We unpack how his experience across eleven countries informs his view of risk, liquidity, and political stability, why Europe's living sector now offers "higher return for lower risk," and how EQT is designing product, operations, and capital structures for the next phase of the cycle. Key Topics Covered in This Episode ✅ Building a Pan European Living Platform How EQT Real Estate has assembled a vertically integrated but not overbuilt living strategy across student housing and apartments, with local teams on the ground and a value add focus across multiple European markets.   ✅ From Military Housing and Central America to Greystar and EQT Why Tom's early work on military housing in the US, community building in Central America, and scaling Greystar in Chile gave him a deep appreciation for stable institutions, liquidity, and the realities of operating in emerging markets.   ✅ Designing a Higher Return Lower Risk Living Model How EQT is targeting urban, transit connected locations with minimal amenities, smaller minimum efficient scale, and lean operations to lower upfront investment, lift NOI margins, and tap deeper, more resilient segments of tenant demand.   ✅ Europe's Structural Housing Imbalance Why affordability pressures, later first time homeownership, and longer rental periods are driving an extraordinary surge in rental demand across Europe, and why Tom believes this supply demand gap gives the living sector significant room to run.   ✅ Capital, Cycles, and Europe versus the US How global institutions are viewing Europe relative to the US today, why accretive debt and repricing are creating a window for value add capital, and where Tom sees the most interesting opportunities by country and sector over the next few years.   And of course, I asked Tom the big question: Who are the People, what Property, and which Place would you invest in if you had £500 million to deploy? If you have thoughts or questions about this episode, drop them in the comments. I'd love to hear your take.

In today's episode, I'm talking about what to do if you can't tell what your body is saying. If you've spent years in survival mode (especially in agriculture), disconnecting from your body isn't a failure; it's a skill you learned to get through hard seasons. Pushing through, overriding needs, and ignoring cues, that's how many of us survived. Of course, it feels confusing to suddenly be asked to "listen to your body" when you have NO idea how to do that!If you're wondering how to reconnect with what your body is saying, start with awareness. I promise, it's never too late to relearn what your body is trying to tell you! In this episode, I cover:Why so many of us genuinely have NO idea what our bodies are trying to tell usHow we learn to override body cues in survival modeWhy we put logic on a pedestal, but ignore sensations & emotionsWhat happens when we ignore body signals for too longMy personal story of what chronic override in the body can look likeWhy feeling requires SAFETY firstHow to start tuning in through non-judgmental awareness & curiosityHow to read your body like you read cattleWhy awareness is the first step that creates the next right action Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Have you been feeling the urge to reach out to that old friend you took distance from? As we move into the holidays it can be tempting to re-connect— send a quick message, extend an invite, or reopen the door with someone we've drifted from. But how do you know whether it's a relationship worth revisiting… or one that's better left gently in the past?In this episode, we help you decide whether to re-engage with an old friend, or keep your distance. You'll hear some important questions you need to ask yourself, real examples, and a grounded look at the difference between healthy discomfort and unhealthy self-abandonment.In This Episode We Explore:How duty and obligation can both connect and confine usHow to tell when a relationship brings more stress than supportWhy we need to think of our time and energy as "investments"How the people around you shape who you becomeSome key questions, like: Has anything actually changed?Getting honest about your standards and what you are willing to put up withReflection Questions to Consider:What's driving the urge to reconnect — guilt, habit, or expectation?Do you have the capacity to carry someone who brings weight instead of warmth?What kind of relationships do you believe in surrounding yourself with?A Takeaway to Sit With:You can love someone, care about them, and hold fond memories — and still choose distance. Protecting your peace can be an act of honesty, not rejection.For Women Who Want Support With This Kind of Work & More Connections with Likeminded Folk:I'm reopening The Bold as Love Collective — a three-month coaching circle for women who have a tendency towards overthinking, over-functioning, and over-giving, and want to feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded in their relationships and conversations.If you want to feel more seen without performing and more heard without raising your voice, check out all the info here and DM with questions.Want to get better at speaking up?

A relationship where two whole people choose to grow together?In this week's episode, we sit down with relationship coach and author Gabriela Embon to explore how to build a thriving partnership that balances individuality and intimacy. Drawing from her own journey and her book “Becoming a Power Couple: Four Pillars to Engineer Legendary Marriages”, Gabriela breaks down the deeper mechanics of lasting love, what it means to truly see and be seen by your partner, and why doing your own inner work is the most romantic act of all.Together, Erin and Gabriela unpack what it looks like to consciously create love after 40: how to navigate conflict with curiosity, rebuild trust after heartbreak, and make space for joy, desire, and emotional safety in equal measure. We discuss:The difference between codependence and true partnershipHow to communicate your needs without losing connectionWhy self-awareness and vulnerability are the foundation of intimacyThe “Four Pillars” of healthy relationships. Me, You, Our, and UsHow every couple must pass through the “power struggle” phase to reach true intimacyWhat it means to become a power couple, where both people are evolving, not performingOUR GUEST: Certified coach and author Gabriela Embon believes that a fulfilling adult life hinges on two essential components: an ideal career and a thriving primary relationship. In the last 2 decades as a coach, Gabriela has dedicated herself to helping couples build fulfilling and enduring relationships. Gabriela utilizes the analytical and problem-solving skills from her engineering background, and applies them to the intricacies of human relationships. By combining the precision of engineering with the emotional depth of human behaviour, she empowers couples to transform their relationships, and become a Power Couple.Want more Gabriela?

What are the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you've experienced? These stories have incredible power, and too often they turn into limiting beliefs that block you from creating the life you truly want.In this episode, we explore the stories we tell ourselves, the emotions we experience, and how to notice where you may be limiting yourself financially, in your relationships, or in any other area of your life. You'll discover how releasing these stories doesn't erase or invalidate your past; it opens you up to new possibilities right now.Before we dive in, I'm so excited to share that the She Rises book, which I have co-authored with 12 of my Master Coaches, is out now! To celebrate the launch, I have some exclusive opportunities for you. The book is available on Amazon, and as a launch-day bonus, the Kindle edition is only 99 cents. When you purchase the Kindle edition today, you'll also receive a free workbook and unlock access to a live 4-week Life Mastery Reset training with me, completely for free. This offer is available today only, so don't miss it!Back to our theme: Our brains are meaning-making machines–we go through life and create stories around the interactions we have, imagining what others' intentions are, what they think about us, and how the treatment we receive relates to who we are. These stories can be good, bad, or somewhere in between, but they all shape how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.In the coaching space, there is an emphasis on releasing the stories we tell ourselves. It's such a powerful concept, but so many of us feel resistance–or even have a negative experience–when it comes to releasing our stories. We'll discuss the reasons behind why we struggle to let those stories go today, and how to move past that block and experience the benefits of releasing the stories.Releasing a story doesn't mean you were wrong for what you thought, and it doesn't invalidate your experience. It means you can validate your experience and move beyond the story that creates limiting beliefs. So, what would it take for you to love yourself enough to honor your emotions, allow your feelings to matter as important messages, and release the story that is limiting you from ultimately being, feeling, seeing, achieving, and doing exactly what you want? That's what we're going to unlock within you today. Here we go!What you'll learn:3 questions to help you uncover the stories you tell yourself and the impact they haveWhy we resist shifting the stories we tell ourselves when we know they aren't serving usHow our stories from childhood can lead to limiting beliefs as adultsWhy releasing the stories we tell ourselves doesn't invalidate feelings or experiencesHow stepping into new possibilities after releasing a story requires vulnerability and builds self-trustYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireThe Deep Reset Retreat: A Soulful Autumn Experience for Clarity, Healing, and Bold Self-Trust with Molly Claire and Melanie Fay: https://www.mollyclaire.com/retreat Molly's Website:

Why do people still believe in horoscopes, even when we know they're not true? (If this is you, I'm curious, not judging.)For nearly a century, people have turned to horoscopes for all sorts of advice, and they're actually more popular now than ever. But how is this still so widespread when it's been clearly debunked time and again?Turns out, there are a lot of reasons - and the story is more complicated (and fascinating) than you might think.In this episode let's get into:The ancient history of the zodiac signsHow astrology and zodiac systems differ across countriesHow science eventually outpaced astrologyWhy zodiac signs got out of alignment - and why no one seemed to careHow astrology reinvented itself to stay relevant and believableThe ways astrology sneaks into modern life that you might not even noticeWhy astrology is booming right nowThe psychology behind why we want astrology to workHow the wording of horoscopes subtly manipulates usHow horoscope writing has been tailored to target womenWhy you can't convince astrology fans they're wrongHow celestial bodies really do affect us (just not in the way horoscopes claim)Thanks for joining me on this episode of Because Why?!Mā te wā - see you next week.You can get involved with the podcast online in the meantime, of course.Find our full podcast via the website here: ⁠⁠https://www.nowthatwhatsicall.com⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/becausewhypod/You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/briannemwest/⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@briannemwest⁠⁠Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannemwest/⁠⁠For our latest big project, find out more about Incrediballs here: ⁠⁠https://incrediballs.com/⁠

While I'm still in India, I wanted to revisit one of the most meaningful conversations I've had on the podcast, with Judith Hanson Lasater on non-violent communication for yoga teachers. I chose to share this episode again after receiving a surprising email that made me reflect deeply on how we speak to our teachers, students, and each other in the yoga space. This conversation is a beautiful reminder of how Ahimsa and respect show up not just in our practice, but in our communication, especially in the hard moments. I hope it offers insight, grounding, and a fresh perspective.Episode Highlights:What is non-violent communication? Is NVC more significant for yoga teachers? NVC is not for others but for usHow to engage with empathy? Who is NVC for? Where does violence start in communication? Cancel culture in the yoga world Should we respond to cancel culture in the yoga world?NVC exercise live on the podcast about cancel culture What are we giving our presence to? Why it matters? How to ground ourselves & act from empathyDifference between feeling & judgments Clarity of intension Updates about Judith's latest book Join our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram

Here's a question I've been asking clients—and myself: What if posting less actually gets you more traction?In this episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing, I'm peeling back the curtain on how my team at Next Step Social scaled back on content volume, leaned into intentional engagement, and won two international creative awards in the process. This is the exact strategy that's helping our clients spark real conversations, build trust, and turn community into conversions—all without posting every single day.If you're tired of the content treadmill, or if your current strategy feels like more noise than impact, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:Why high-volume posting is not the key to engagementThe “Four Post Strategy” that changed everything for usHow intentional content creates deeper connectionsWhat winning two Hermes Creative Awards means for content strategyWhy it's time to shift from chaos to connection in your marketingTimestamps:00:03 – Can posting less actually grow your business?01:00 – Why you don't need to be on all five platforms02:20 – What is the Four Post Strategy?03:45 – The results: more DMs, comments, and conversions04:25 – How Next Step Social won 2 gold Hermes Creative Awards06:00 – The real reason this strategy works06:45 – Invitation to work with Next Step SocialReady to simplify your content while growing your business?Let's talk strategy → yournextstep.agencyDM me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook.

Hey there! I'm Jonathan Gouthier, your host of the Faith First Podcast and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut. What do you know about the Cross of Christ?

Let's listen in on the message given by our Lead Pastor, Steve Darr.In this episode, you'll discover:Why do we try to get to God our own wayWhat is it that truly brings God to usHow anxiety and depression affect our relationship with GodHow the cross of Christ has the power to bring us into a relationship with GodThe cross of Christ provides a new life in Jesus, and we are a new creation in the risen Lord Jesus.

A massive international study just proved what we've suspected for decades, glyphosate causes cancer even at doses the European Union considers "safe."In today's episode, I'm breaking down the results of the Global Glyphosate Study, led by major institutions including the Ramazzini Institute in Italy, Boston University, and universities across the globe. Over 1,000 rats were tested, with control groups receiving zero glyphosate and three other groups receiving amounts equivalent to what the EU deems safe for human consumption. The results are devastating: all groups exposed to glyphosate developed tumors and cancers, with leukemia being the most prevalent, especially in rats exposed during the prenatal stage.This isn't some fringe research. This is an international coalition of credible universities providing evidence that glyphosate infiltrates our entire food system and causes cancer. Meanwhile, Bayer and Monsanto continue trying to get immunity laws passed across the United States, claiming farmers can't grow food without glyphosate. But here's the truth: regenerative and organic farming doesn't require synthetic pesticides, it's just that we've destroyed our soil with decades of chemical agriculture.The solution isn't just individual action (though I'll share practical steps you can take), it's systemic change. We need to call our representatives and demand two things: no liability shields for pesticide companies, and government grants to help farmers transition to regenerative agriculture. This is about more than just our personal health - it's about saving our entire food system.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • The shocking results of testing 1,000+ rats with "safe" levels of glyphosate • Why pesticide companies are fighting for legal immunity across the US • How glyphosate exposure during pregnancy increases childhood leukemia risk • Practical steps to reduce glyphosate exposure in your home and diet • Why we need systemic change, not just individual action, to solve this crisisFree: Top 25 Toxins to AvoidGet on the Toxin Free in 3 Waiting List

Is Civil War Coming to the West? | Prof. David Betz | Heretics with Andrew Gold

The gender divide is tearing through every corner of our lives right now, and honestly? It's fucking confusing out there. While ambitious women are crushing it in boardrooms and lecture halls, we're watching a crisis of masculinity unfold in real time—and the dating challenges that follow are enough to make you want to swipe left on humanity altogether.How did we get to a place where traditional gender roles feel both completely outdated and weirdly appealing again, where toxic masculinity battles with something called "tonic masculinity," and where the trad wife movement is somehow trending on the same timeline as record-breaking female college enrollment? If you're watching this cultural battlefield from the middle like I am, wondering what the hell happened to just... connecting with people, then buckle up because we're about to unpack why everyone feels so damn lost.In today's episode, we're talking about everything from the rise of incels to why Gen Z is rushing back to church, plus the real tea on why building meaningful friendships in adulthood feels harder than landing your dream job. This isn't about picking sides—it's about understanding how gender and mental health, modern family dynamics, and our collective fear of rejection are shaping the way we love, work, and show up in the world.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the gender divide is creating an 80/20 dating crisis that's leaving high-achieving women struggling to find equal partnersThe shocking data behind the crisis of masculinity—including why suicide rates among young men are skyrocketing and what it means for all of usHow toxic masculinity versus tonic masculinity is reshaping what it means to be a man in 2025 (and why Tim Walz is the perfect example)The real political agenda behind the trad wife movement and why "prairie core" isn't as innocent as those sourdough starters make it seemWhy 60% of college students are now women and how this educational flip is changing modern family gender roles foreverThe connection between avoidance of pain, dating challenges, and why everyone's rushing back to traditional gender normsHow ambitious women are burning out trying to prove their worth while simultaneously being told to "lean back" into feminine energyThe surprising strategy for building deep friendships in adulthood that actually works (hint: it involves getting comfortable with rejection)If this episode hit a nerve, GOOD! It means you're awake and ready to stop avoiding the hard conversations that actually change things. The state of gender roles is playing out in every boardroom, bedroom, and dating app, and understanding why we've ended up here gives you serious power to navigate it all differently.So tell me: which part of this cultural shift resonates most with your own experience? Are you feeling the dating struggles, the friendship challenges, or maybe you're questioning everything you thought you knew about modern gender norms?If you're ready to build something meaningful in your business, relationships, or leadership while working through any of this cultural chaos, book a free strategy call with me at allisonhare.com/freecall to find your voice in this shifting landscape.Links & Mentioned Resources"The Mask You Live In" - Documentary by Jennifer Newsome (Gavin Newsom's wife) about how boys are socialized to suppress emotionsThe Lost Boys Study - Research from The Center for Social Justice (UK-based organization) examining educational and economic disparities affecting young menEmily in Your Phone - Substack newsletter by Emily Amick discussing the political undertones of the tradwife movementLaunch your podcast - Book a free clarity call with AllisonNotable Time Stamps00:01 - Episode introduction: The elephant in the gender studies room and why everything feels confusing right now02:30 - Growing up in the 90s: How women were socialized to be small, pleasant, and pick-me girls06:45 - The makeup bag story: Personal reflection on teenage socialization and the need to "present perfectly"09:15 - The Lost Boys Study: Data on how men are struggling educationally, economically, and mentally12:20 - Male suicide crisis: Why suicide is now the leading cause of death for men under 5014:10 - "The Mask You Live In" documentary discussion: How boys are limited to only two emotions17:35 - Toxic vs. tonic masculinity explained (Tim Walz as an example)19:45 - The incel movement and Andrew Tate's influence on frustrated young men25:30 - The tradwife movement: Political undertones behind the "prairie core" aesthetic31:20 - Personal story: Leaving corporate job and unlearning "never rely on a man" messaging36:15 - Modern dating crisis: The 80/20 problem and educational gender flip40:25 - Friendship struggles: The shame of not having a best friend as a high-performing woman43:50 - Coach Dara's friendship strategy: Being upfront about wanting deep connections48:30 - Avoidance of pain as the root of cultural problems52:15 - Final thoughts on connection, rejection, and getting out of comfort zones Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller
