In this episode of Get Real or Die Trying, host Amadon DellErba sits down with Brit Arthur—founder of http://AutoimmuneDiseaseAwareness.com, CEO and designer of BeachCandy Organics (the trailblazing organic swimwear brand), holistic healer, and creator of the Feast to Wellness Protocol—for a fierce, unfiltered confrontation with autoimmune disease and the toxic systems designed to keep us dependent and unwell. Filmed on-location at Avalon EcoVillage.Brit delivers her story without apology: decades of hidden suffering—asthma, acne, body odor, gut chaos, and escalating inflammation that exploded into spinal autoimmune disease at 34, complete with genetic markers and CRP levels screaming cancer territory. Doctors pushed lifelong steroid injections and heavy pharma; she endured a year of minimal gains before walking away in fury at a system that silences symptoms instead of healing roots. She plunged into gut biome research, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, herbalism, detox protocols, and non-toxic truth—then committed fully to plant-based living, toxin elimination, and radical simplicity.The shift was explosive: joint pain and immobility dissolved in days. From needing help to turn doorknobs and being carried from bed, she climbed 8 grueling miles with a 60-pound pack months later. Her Feast to Wellness Protocol—165+ anti-inflammatory, medicinal recipes plus daily detox rituals—has now empowered over 30,000 people globally to claim symptom-free lives from every corner of the planet.Amadon and Brit tear into the heart of it:The medical and food industries that suppress rather than solve—pushing seed oils, ultra-processed garbage, mycotoxin-laden grains, GMOs, pork's toxin accumulation, and endless chemicals while ignoring root causes like glyphosate, plastics, and emotional baggageShattering hustle culture, plastic dependency, restaurant traps, and inflammatory poisons that quietly destroy usThe freedom of minimalism in India, authentic Ayurvedic immersion, copper-charged water, farmers market allegiance, and transforming every meal into medicineWhere spirituality collides with biology: how toxic thoughts, chronic judgment, fear, unresolved trauma, and victim attachment literally manifest disease—and why forgiveness, embracing discomfort, emotional alchemy, and genuine loving connection are essential for extreme, integrated healthThe urgent poisoning of our supply chain, the call for real outrage and collective rebellion, and why every choice—what we eat, wear, think, buy—is sacred resistance and stewardship of body, land, and futureThis isn't soft self-care—it's a battle cry to wake up, purge the poisons (physical, emotional, systemic), reject the "pill up and power through" deception, and seize vibrant, liberated living on your own fierce terms. If you're done suffering quietly, questioning the chemical matrix and quick-fix lies, or ready to turn pain into unbreakable purpose—this raw exchange will set you ablaze.

What does Proverbs 26 actually teach about wisdom, presence, and personal growth — and why might the biggest breakthroughs in life come from the smallest daily improvements (what I call Inchstones)? In this episode, we unpack biblical wisdom, intentional living, faith, mindset, and how slowing down long enough to notice life might be the most productive thing you do all day.Here's what happened.I was on my way to record a podcast episode — feeling focused, busy, and probably more important than I actually was — when I stopped at the dog park and ran into my friend George and his Chihuahua, Vinny.Now George has a superpower.He remembers things.Not surface-level things. Real things. Conversations from months ago. Details that make you realize… oh wow, this guy actually listens.Within minutes, what started as casual small talk turned into a masterclass on life, AI (which, by the way, has been around way longer than we think), raising kids in a changing world, and why I should probably start playing chess with my son more often.No stage.No keynote.No paid mastermind.Just wisdom… sitting at a dog park.And it hit me: sometimes God doesn't interrupt our schedule with lightning bolts — He just asks us to slow down long enough to notice who's already standing in front of us.This episode connects Proverbs 26 with the idea of Inchstones — the small, intentional choices we make daily that quietly stack into the milestones of our lives. In this conversation, we explore:What Proverbs 26 teaches about wisdom vs. foolishness (and yes, it still applies today)Why praise creates presence — and presence opens the door to wisdomHow rushing causes us to miss the “masters” already around usThe difference between knowing things and living wiselyWhy discipline in praise produces perfect timingHow tiny daily Inchstones compound into massive life changeThe surprising cost of distraction, gossip, and minding business that isn't oursHow one meaningful conversation can completely shift your perspectiveHere's the honest part: I didn't leave home searching for a profound moment. I was just choosing praise while walking through some challenges — because sometimes obedience looks less like fireworks and more like faithfulness.That praise created calm.That calm created presence.And presence led me straight into wisdom I didn't even know I needed.That's how God works. Sneaky in the best possible way.Today, I'm praising George — not just for a wildly successful life and career, but for his wisdom, friendship, and reminder that the greatest lessons rarely announce themselves… they just show up while you're petting a Chihuahua.Slow down today.Praise first.Then watch what God gives you a reason to praise about.

Most people meet Tituba through Arthur Miller. Nicole Brooks met her differently. The Canadian artist, producer, composer, and performer spent over a decade creating Obeah Opera, a fully sung a cappella theatrical work that centers Tituba and the other women of Salem as healers, wise women, and people who loved and were loved. In this conversation Nicole opens up about the research, the music, the controversy, and the story she believes America is ready to hear.What You Will LearnWho Tituba was beyond The CrucibleWhy Nicole positions every woman in the story as a healerHow the word Obeah appears in Puritan records and what that tells usThe love story at the heart of Obeah OperaHow the girls who made accusations were themselves silenced and powerlessWhat Tituba's name means in YorubaWhy an all-female cast changes how the story landsHow music makes the heaviest history bearableGuest Nicole Brooks, creator of Obeah OperaResources and Links Sign the Petition to Exonerate the Boston 8The History of Witch Trial Exonerations in MassachusettsAbout the MA Witch Hunt Justice ProjectPurchase a MA Witch Hunt Justice Project Memorial Pin

In On the Other Side of Pain, Laurel Boivin explores pain as an inevitable part of the human experience—and a powerful catalyst for transformation when it is met with honesty, care, and time. Rather than bypassing or minimizing pain, this episode invites listeners to slow down, feel what needs to be felt, and trust the nonlinear process of healing.Laurel reflects on how pain lives in the body, why we are not meant to carry it alone, and what it means to be truly resourced while healing. From honoring grief and loss to choosing whether pain hardens or softens us, this conversation gently guides listeners toward the awareness, perspective, and compassion that often emerge on the other side of pain.This conversation focuses on: Why dismissing pain—or rushing to meaning—can slow healing rather than support itThe importance of allowing grief, loss, anger, and disappointment to be felt and honoredWhat it means to be “well resourced” while processing pain, and why support mattersHow pain can shape who we become without defining or diminishing usThe choice pain presents: hardening for protection or softening with awareness and compassionJournaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Who am I now, on the other side—or in the midst—of this experience?How has this experience changed my path, my priorities, or the way I see my life?What did I learn about myself during the healing and processing, not just from what happened?What knowledge, wisdom, or insight do I now carry that I didn't have before?Who might benefit from what I know now, and how might I share it in a human, grounded way?Where do I notice pain living in my body, and what might help me release or soften it?In what ways has pain clarified what truly matters to me?When I think about this experience, do I notice myself hardening or softening—and what choice feels most supportive right now?What beliefs, faith, or inner trust help me remember that my life is still unfolding?What feels different in me today, even if I don't feel “better”—and how can I honor that shift?Host/Cohost/Guest InfoGuiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

Where Science, Shadow Work, and Spirit Collide to Manifest Your Miracles.In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Nardone, host of the podcast “All Is Well,” for a candid conversation about what people get wrong about us as coaches and leaders. We ask each other the same five questions about perception, self-doubt, humanity, and what it actually takes to hold space at this level.Episode Takeaways:What people assume about us that's completely wrongThe most human habits that don't match our expert imageWhat we still struggle with as teachers in this spaceWhat people underestimate about usThe one thing we see clearly in each otherThis conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really means to lead, teach, and grow publicly while still being fully human.Connect with Taylor:www.instagram.com/taylorryannardoneIt Is Well Podcast: https://tr.ee/gv3IEflUM1

Men are confused. The culture is loud. Fathers are absent. The Church is under pressure.So what does it actually mean to be a holy, strong, masculine man today?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I chat with John Bishop, founder of Forge and author of New Adam, to confront the crisis head-on. We talk about the collapse of fatherhood, declining male engagement in the Church, toxic masculinity narratives, and the deep hunger men feel for a clear mission.This is not about machismo or cultural sterotypes such as "toxic masculinity" or domination; but about returning to Genesis and the garden.We walk through:Why masculinity and femininity rise and fall togetherThe devastating impact of fatherlessness on faith and societyWhy young men are searching for heroesThe failure of modern culture to form menAdam in the Garden and what his mission teaches usThe sacred call to work as part of male holinessWhy priests must reclaim authentic fatherhoodHow Christ, the New Adam, restores what was lostIf men do not know who they are, they cannot lead. If fathers do not lead, families collapse. If families collapse, the culture collapses.This episode is a direct challenge: Stop drifting. Stop outsourcing formation. Stop waiting for someone else to lead.The time for passivity is over.Products & References MentionedNew Adam by John BishopForgeFellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS)Mystic Monk CoffeeHarmel Academy of the TradesOpus DeiBrad Wilcox – Get MarriedPowerful Quotes from the Episode“Masculinity and femininity thrive when they are in synergy with one another. If you try and kill the one, you almost by definition kill the other.”“If you hit your 17th birthday and you have both biological parents in the home, that makes you a minority demographic.”“We need a healthy picture of masculinity.

“Notice the nature around you — and take time to just be.”In this conversation, Holli-Anne Passmore explores the powerful relationship between nature, wellbeing, and meaning in life. Her work focuses on how small, everyday interactions with the natural world can shift how we feel, think, and experience our lives.We often think of nature as something we have to travel to — mountains, oceans, national parks. But what if the real shift comes from simply paying attention to what's already around us?Holli-Anne shares that it's not just time in nature that matters — it's the quality of attention we bring to it. Noticing the sky, the trees, the small details in everyday life can create a measurable impact on wellbeing, helping us feel more connected, calm, and alive.The conversation also explores the difference between feeling good and living a meaningful life, why boredom is essential for creativity, and how slowing down can help us understand what truly matters.This is a grounded, practical conversation about how to live more fully — not by doing more, but by noticing more.Episode HighlightsWhy nature is not “out there” — it's all around usThe science of nature and its impact on wellbeingWhy noticing nature matters more than time spent outdoorsThe emotion of “elevation” and feeling deeply connectedMeaning vs feeling good — what actually mattersWhy boredom is essential for creativityLiving at “human speed” instead of constant hustleHow nature can reduce loneliness and increase connectionUnderstanding the environments where you feel most aliveThe concept of “enough” and letting go of moreChapters00:00 — How nature impacts wellbeing03:00 — What makes life feel meaningful09:50 — What a bountiful life really is11:20 — Why boredom matters19:20 — What is nature connectedness24:20 — Nature prescriptions and mental health29:00 — Cognitive benefits of nature33:30 — Meaning vs feeling good36:00 — Nature, time, and “enough”39:20 — Finding environments that suit you46:00 — Nature in cities and everyday life54:40 — What people misunderstand about nature58:50 — Tools for tough days01:03:30 — Final reflections on living wellGuest BioHolli-Anne Passmore is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Concordia University of Edmonton and a leading researcher in nature connectedness, wellbeing, and meaning in life. She is the Director of the Nature-Meaning in Life Research Lab and her work focuses on practical, everyday interventions that help people improve mental health, reduce loneliness, and live more meaningful lives through their relationship with the natural world.The Bountifull Podcast explores what it means to live a bountiful life through thoughtful, honest conversations with interesting people from diverse backgrounds.

Episode 104: Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage Early?Is owning a home really the American Dream… or is owning it free and clear the real goal?In Episode 104 of One for the Money, we tackle one of the most common—and emotionally charged—financial questions homeowners ask: Should you pay off your mortgage early?The answer isn't just about math.

You had a plan. You prayed about it, believed God was in it, and then life took a turn you didn't choose. The door closed. The timeline stretched. The opportunity didn't come. Now you're somewhere you never planned to be, and the questions won't stop: Did I miss it? Did I hear God wrong? In this episode, I'm exploring what happens in the season you didn't expect and didn't choose.In this episode, you'll discover:Why closed doors might be protection, not punishmentWhat Abraham's 25-year wait teaches us about promise and formationHow identity gets clarified when outcomes don't validate usThe place where character catches up to callingHow to release timelines without losing faithWhat Romans 8:28 really means for unexpected seasonsThe question that changes everything: "Who am I when this doesn't work?"RESOURCES:

The Language We Use With OurselvesJust before heading out to meet friends, I caught myself in a small moment of self-judgement: 'I'm meant to be ready already.' It's such familiar territory, isn't it? That subtle criticism we layer onto ourselves throughout the day. Recognising that moment sparked some thoughts... that led to this episode, exploring:How our self-talk is a vital part of our self-care practice, shaping not only how we see ourselves but how we expect others to see usThe origins of our inner critic — recognising whose voice we're really hearing when we speak harshly to ourselvesThe difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence, and why compassion doesn't mean condoning all our behavioursA simple journaling prompt that can reveal what shifts when we speak to ourselves with kindnessHow the way we relate to ourselves ripples outward into how we show up in the worldThis is lived work, and I share my own recent experience with the 'vulnerability boomerang' after launching my new website — a reminder that even when we teach this work, we're always practicing it too.If you'd like to explore that journaling prompt, try writing these words at the top of your page, and see where they take you: When I Speak Kindly to Myself, I See...Currently… my work is centred around:Thoughtful connection, including live gatherings and courses, gently shared through my mailing list - join to hear more https://hennyflynn.kit.com/profileYou can find everything I offer here: https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/ ★ Support this podcast ★

What happens when faith doesn't show up strong—but shows up skeptical?In this message, Imperfect Faith — Part 1: When Faith Laughs, we explore one of Scripture's most honest faith moments: Sarah's laughter. Hebrews calls it faith. Genesis shows doubt. So which is it?The answer might surprise you.Sarah didn't have instant, polished faith—and neither do we. Her story reveals a powerful truth: God's faithfulness does not depend on flawless faith. Faith is often formed in the space between promise and fulfillment, and grace carries it while it grows.In this sermon, you'll discover:Why faith is a journey, not a momentHow God meets us in doubt without disqualifying usThe difference between initial reactions and final conclusionsWhy God records where faith lands, not where it wobblesHow imperfect faith can still lead to fulfilled promisesGrab your Free Biblical Success BookGet sermon notes & reminders to join us Sundays

This week on We Needed Roads, Neil and David sit down to talk about Hamnet… and immediately regret thinking this would be a normal, emotionally stable conversation.Based on Maggie O'Farrell's devastating novel, Hamnet is a quiet, beautiful, grief-soaked gut punch — and yes, we spend most of this review adjacent to the kitchen as someone was clearly cutting onions We get into:Performances that absolutely ruin usThe power of silence, absence and lingering looksGrief, memory, love, and why this film sneaks up on youIt's thoughtful, it's emotional, it's occasionally sweary, and it's two grown men desperately holding it together on mic.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to people passionately argue about films and TV… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:

In this episode, my husband and I sit down to share the changes we made on our journey to pregnancy after multiple unexplained losses and being told we had less than a 2% chance of success doing it naturally. We did the testing. We asked the questions. And when no clear answers came back, we knew “unexplained infertility” wasn't the full picture.We talk openly about:What testing did (and didn't) tell usThe physical, lifestyle, and mindset shifts we madeHow we supported fertility when there was no diagnosisWhat we wish we would have known soonerThis isn't a protocol, or a one-size-fits-all solution, but an honest conversation about advocating for your health when the odds feel stacked against you.

In this Winter conversation, I'm joined by Christian Rasmussen, founder of Amentara (formerly MN Nice Botanicals), whose work with Amanita muscaria has impacted thousands of people around the world. If you've followed my podcast for a while, you know I rarely bring guests on—even though I receive constant pitches. I said an instant yes to this interview because I already knew Christian's work, and I've actually been purchasing Amanita from his website for the last few years. His company was recommended to me originally by Amanita Dreamer, whose research guided my earliest explorations with this mushroom.Amanita muscaria—also known as fly-agaric—is the “other” psychedelic mushroom. It is legal, ancient, and culturally famous (yes, the Mario mushroom emoji

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us into the tension and beauty of the Fourth Sunday of Advent by turning to the surprising ending of the book of Jonah. Rather than a neat resolution, Jonah 4 leaves us with a question—one that exposes our hearts and God's expansive mercy.Jonah is angry that God shows compassion to Nineveh, and God gently confronts him: Is it right for you to be angry?Through this exchange, we see how easy it is to celebrate God's grace for ourselves while resisting it for others. Advent, Pastor Billy reminds us, prepares us not just to receive Jesus, but to be transformed by the wideness of His mercy.

"Overwhelm often leads to inaction, as we freeze in the face of too many tasks and not enough time."In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession explores the pressure that many feel as the end of the year approaches. With deadlines looming and responsibilities piling up, it's easy to spiral into a state of stress and uncertainty. Instead of powering through, Rebecca reveals how our nervous systems react to overwhelm and why taking a step back is crucial for both our productivity and well-being.Through a blend of neuroscience, practical tips, and a compassionate approach to leadership, Rebecca shows how we can transform our approach to the end-of-year chaos. She dives into the power of intentional scheduling, explains how naming our stress can help us regain control, and emphasizes the importance of creating peace in our calendars. This episode is a call to reset, to find clarity in the clutter, and to lead with calm instead of chaos during the holiday season.In this episode, you'll learn:How overwhelm triggers our nervous system and what it's really trying to tell usThe power of intentional scheduling to calm your mind and regain controlPractical steps to create peace in your calendar and lead with clarity during stressful timesThings to listen for:(00:00) Introduction(02:01) Understanding the nervous system(02:49) The power of time blocking(05:55) Writing it down: he first step(07:41) Allocating time realistically(09:14) Creating a productive environment(12:23) Honoring your time blocks(12:49) Spiritual aspect of orderConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

When was the last time you did something just for fun?If you had to pause and think… you're not alone.In Part 1 of my conversation with Treena Innes, Your Life Fun Expert, we unpack why fun feels so hard in midlife and how we slowly lost our connection to joy. This episode will help you feel seen, understood, and a little more hopeful—especially if life has felt heavy or too serious lately.Next week, we'll get practical. Today, we're setting the foundation with the mindset shifts that make space for fun again.What we cover:Why so many women lose their “fun habit”How guilt, comparison, and generational messages shape usThe impact of technology on how we view joyWhat happens when we never make time for playHow fun strengthens resilience, clarity, and emotional well-beingWhat “Fun Health” is—and why it's just as important as physical healthKey Takeaways:You weren't taught to prioritize fun—and that's not a personal failure.Fun isn't frivolous. It's fuel.Joy actually supports your mental, emotional, and physical health.You can't wait for life to calm down to feel joy—you create it now.Connect with Treenaminddoodles.caFinding Fun Experiment Podcast@treena_minddoodles Resources:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/shellyniehaus/Simple Shifts Newsletter: https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/tipsWomen Entrepreneurs In Prayer Call - https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/prayer

Carter's mama, Amy and I, first recorded 3.5 years ago, not long after we both lost our sons.

This episode is about presence.I share openly about what's been unfolding in my own inner world. Not from the other side of healing, but from inside it.If you've noticed old patterns resurfacing, emotions repeating, or a quiet frustration that says “Why am I here again?” This conversation is for you.We talk about:Why growth moves in spirals, not straight linesWhat's actually happening when patterns revisit usThe unseen work happening beneath the surfaceHow shame and guilt sneak in when healing looks messyWhy returning doesn't mean failingThis is an invitation to soften the story you're telling yourself.To meet this moment with compassion rather than pressure.To remember that being in process doesn't mean being behind.You're not broken.You're not going backwards.And you're not alone.

I see three major mistakes that get made all the time among Nonprofit leaders when they're engaging decisionmakers. These mistakes will invariably cost you influence and results, especially funding results. Now more than ever, especially in this environment, you need both your existing funders and potential funders to be investing in your work at the highest level. But lately, when you go to talk to elected officials or government agency people or foundations, a lot of times you hear things like, well, there's not really any money right now. We can't afford it. It's not the right time. And you start to feel like all the stuff you came to tell them that explains why they need to invest is falling on deaf ears. They listen politely enough, but you can feel the resistance.  And every time you have one of these conversations, your frustration goes up another notch, and your worry level goes up another notch too. 'Cause if we can't break through with these people, if we can't get them to get it, where's the money gonna come from? And then what? It's tempting to write off those decisionmakers or get mad at them. But if we really want their investment, we have to find a way in. If they're not getting the most essential pieces of what you do and the problem you solve, and the value that solution has, the impact that it makes, and the level of investment that is necessary in order to buy that impact.  If they're not getting all of that, and not feeling motivated to find a way to make that investment. Then somewhere your messaging and engagement are not doing as good a job for you as they could.  Chances are you may be making one or more of three very common and costly mistakes. In this episode, we share:Why most introductions create distance and disengagementHow to change up your introduction to pull decisonmakers in and make them want to know moreHow to weave points of alignment and relevance throughout the conversation to keep the decisionmaker investedThe critical reframe you must make to counter decisonmakers' claims of “there's not enough money”The secret to engaging a decisionmaker around the problems they're most concerned aboutThe most common erroneous assumption we make about why a decisionmaker's not “getting it,” and how that hurts usThe times when we're most vulnerable to the biggest engagement pitfalls, and how to stay alert to those Ready to take your messaging and engagement skills to the next level?

In this powerful and eye-opening Torah shiur, we uncover the deeper meaning behind the Isur of Gid HaNasheh (the sciatic nerve) and its profound connection to Achdus — Jewish unity.Why was Gid HaNasheh chosen as the very first negative commandment given to Klal Yisrael? How does a mitzvah of not eating create one of the strongest forces of unity among the Jewish people? And what timeless message does this mitzvah carry for our generation?✨ In this shiur, we explore:How not eating the Gid HaNasheh unifies all Jews simultaneouslyThe powerful insight of the Sefer HaChinuch — the nations may hurt us, but they can never destroy usThe deeper meaning behind the words “Gid HaNasheh” — hinting to forgetting achdusWhy the Torah is teaching us that it is forbidden to forget unityThe Ohr HaChaim's insight that the sciatic nerve has no flavor — symbolizing that every Jew brings their own unique “flavor” to the nationA relatable and humorous insight about Jewish cookbooks and why they always seem to sell best

Michael Holt is a holistic health expert, masculine vitality specialist, and martial artist whose work sits at the intersection of holistic health, meditation, and awakened masculine leadership.As the founder of the internationally renowned "Savage & Saint Collective", Michael serves elite performers in the cultivation of vitality, depth of consciousness, and performance excellence.His extensive background in meditation, martial arts, western psychology, core shamanism, holistic health, and exercise science comes together to form a unique approach that is trusted by top executives, founders, athletes, artists, and entertainers around the world.As I got deeper into Michael's work, I was struck by how naturally it aligns with a truth I've come to know in my own life:The masculine path requires our capacity to cultivate range and develop fluency in complementary opposing qualities, in Michael's terms, the Savage and the Saint...Simply put, the Savage is the part of us that is primal, instinctual, disciplined, relentless, and willing to meet and move through challenge.The Saint is the part of us that is awake, conscious, devoted, and anchored in truth, love, and a deep acceptance of each moment. In his work, Michael does not teach men to choose one or the other. He teaches them to integrate both, to train the body and sharpen the mind, to soften the heart and expand awareness, so a man can govern himself fully and live with clarity, direction, and depth.In his own life, he has forged a path that unmistakably reflects the depth of this integration. From decades of martial arts, qigong, and meditative practice, to years of guiding men through embodiment, discipline, and peak performance, Michael has developed a unique framework that helps men become dangerous and safe, powerful and compassionate, structured and spiritually awake.In this high-paced conversation between the two of us, we explore: The defining traits of the Savage and the Saint What it means to cultivate both the Savage and the Saint within oneselfWhy the biggest fear for many high performers is simply letting the sword down Why physical mastery is inseparable from spiritual developmentHow discipline can eventually be transformed into a way of devotion that becomes effortlessThe common misconceptions about what meditation actually is The real value of meditation and what it can teach usThe importance of emotional maintenance and the cost of letting emotional backlog accumulate How to build masculine vitality and strengthen your virility as a manThis was a potent and energizing conversation with a man who has spent countless hours honing his craft and dedicating himself to supporting men in becoming more integrated, grounded, and fully expressed in their masculine essence. If you're a man seeking more masculine range, vitality, & inner peace, I trust this episode will land deeply.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

In this episode (originally aired on 6/5/24), I sit down with Eve Rodsky, creator, founder, and author of Fair Play: a life-management and household organization system. Eve and I discuss her feminist upbringing and how her experiences in the corporate world were inhospitable to motherhood, how she created the Fair Play system and why a “blueberry text” from her husband was the catalyst, and why it's essential to change from the reactive to the systematic when implementing change. Eve talks about the burden of invisible work that women so often take upon themselves in the home, she explains how the Fair Play cards work, and we discuss listener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental load. Finally, we talk about why it's so hard to have these conversations with our partners, what defines a “unicorn space” versus other types of fun, and why it is essential for our happiness and longevity to create “I can't fucking believe I just did that” moments in our lives.Key Takeaway / Points:Why I recommend Eve's method to anyone who will listenOn “Fair Play,” Eve's life-management and household organization methodEve's upbringing in a post-70s feminist waveEve's experience as a young mother in the corporate worldWhy America isn't designed to support mothersOn the goal of being consistently interested in your own lifeWhy “hobbies” are not serving usThe “blueberry text” that led to Eve creating the Fair Play systemOn changing from the reactive to the systematicOn invisible work and “The Shit I Do” spreadsheetA deep dive into how the Fair Play cards workListener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental loadWhy it's so difficult to have these conversationsWhy society views women's time as infiniteOn the sanctity of “unicorn space”On creating “I can't fucking believe I just did that” moments for yourselfStream the Fair Play documentary on Hulu HERERead Fair Play HEREBuy the Fair Play card deck HEREWatch this episode on YouTube HEREFollow Eve:Instagram: @fairplaylifeWebsite: www.fairplaylife.comFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers and @conversations_with_camSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogers and @conversations_with_camYoutube: Cameron Rogers

It's November — a time when many men grow moustaches to raise awareness for men's mental health and suicide prevention but beyond the facial hair, there's a much deeper conversation to be had.In this powerful and necessary episode, Matt speaks with Dubai-based clinical psychologist and coach Dr David Lee, founder of The Better Man Initiative. Together, they explore the stark reality that three out of four suicides are men — and ask the difficult question: what's going wrong?In this conversation, they explore:The shocking statistics around male suicide — and what they're telling usThe role of modern society and how it's failing young menThe influence of the manosphere, toxic masculinity, and online narrativesWhy men are still not talking — and what prevents them from doing soThe importance of community, safe spaces, and strong male role modelsThe surprising power of nostalgia, banter, and shared experienceWhy more men are needed in education and mental health fieldsLow-hanging fruit for better mental wellbeing — from movement to connectionIf you're a man who's struggling — or someone who loves and supports one — this episode is for you. It's a reminder that you're not alone, and that real help doesn't always start with therapy — it starts with conversation, connection, and compassion.Connect with Dr David Lee:IG: @davidleepsychologyFacebook: @DrDavid Lee Facebook Group.

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” – W.M. LewisIn this solo episode, Michael reflects on the ways we delay the life that's calling us. He shares how he waited years to launch this very podcast and over a decade to write his book, Resonance, and what finally helped him get out of his own way.Drawing on Steven Pressfield's The War of Art and Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, he explores the idea of the “muse” – that creative force that wants to move through us – and the counterforce Pressfield calls “resistance.” He weaves in stories from elders facing the end of their lives, including a man who had never once been met at the airport, and contrasts that with memories of his father, a man who always showed up.In this conversation, you'll hear about:Why we wait so long to begin the life that's meant for usThe muse, resistance, and how to finally start dancing with your creative callingThe difference between résumé goals and eulogy goalsWhat elders' regrets can teach us about how to live nowWhy relationships — the people who would pick you up at 2 a.m. — matter more than anythingThis is an invitation to stop postponing your real life, to sing your unique song, and to surround yourself with the people who help you play it beautifully. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide. He's the author of RESONANCE: The Art and Science of Human Connection (March 31, 2026), co-creator of Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival, and host of the RESONANCE podcast.Featured in Forbes, Inc, Good Morning America.
