Want to significantly improve your chances of getting a good night's sleep? There is one surprisingly simple thing you can do during the day that may actually help you sleep better that night. And no, it doesn't involve exercise, meditation or giving up your phone. This episode begins with what it is and why it may work. https://sleepopolis.com/news/make-bed-better-sleep/ Every language and every culture has swear words. We're taught as children not to say them, yet somehow we all learn exactly what they are. So why does swearing exist in the first place? And why are certain words considered so much more powerful and offensive than others? It turns out that swearing serves some interesting purposes — and under the right circumstances, it may even have some benefits. Timothy Jay is one of the world's leading authorities on the psychology of swearing. He is professor emeritus of psychology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and author of Cursing in America (https://amzn.to/3CMIs36) and Why We Curse (https://amzn.to/46hZ2FN). Listen as he reveals where our swear words come from, why they have such emotional punch and what happens when we use them. Confidence is one of those qualities that seems easy to recognize in other people and much harder to summon up in yourself — especially at the exact moment you need it. Maybe you need to speak up, walk into a room full of strangers, ask for something you want or handle a difficult conversation. So can you actually become more confident on demand? Selena Rezvani says you can, and the techniques are surprisingly practical. Selena is a speaker, journalist and author of Quick Confidence: Be Authentic, Create Connections and Make Bold Bets on Yourself (https://amzn.to/43WVJ59). She joins me with simple strategies you can use to quiet self-doubt, appear more confident and actually feel more confident when it counts. Could changing the expression on your face actually change the way you feel? There is a remarkably simple thing you can do with your face right now that may give your mood a little lift. Listen as I explain what to do — and the intriguing reason it appears to work. Source: Dr. Stephanie McClellan, author of The Ultimate Stress Relief Plan for Women (https://amzn.to/3NLj04s).

Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His fifth choice, first released in May 2024, is the Empress Dowager Cixi, the woman who, for almost fifty years, was the most powerful figure in the Chinese court. Cixi (1835-1908) started out at court as one of the Emperor's many concubines, yet was the only one who gave him a son to succeed him and who also possessed great political skill and ambition. When their son became emperor he was still a young child and Cixi ruled first through him and then, following his death, through another child emperor. This was a time of rapid change in China, when western powers and Japan humiliated the forces of the Qing empire time after time, and Cixi had the chance to push forward the modernising reforms the country needed to thrive. However, when she found those reforms conflicted with her own interests or those of the Qing dynasty, she was arguably obstructive or too slow to act and she has been personally blamed for some of those many humiliations even when the fault lay elsewhere.WithYangwen Zheng Professor of Chinese History at the University of ManchesterRana Mitter The S.T.

She faithfully followed Jesus through His crucifixion, witnessed His burial, encountered the risen Christ, and was entrusted with the extraordinary responsibility of announcing His resurrection.The episode also examines how cultural assumptions can sometimes influence Christian interpretation and why believers should distinguish biblical teaching from traditions that may have developed later.Jamie's central message is simple but powerful: God is better than we have imagined, He profoundly loves women, and He purposefully includes them in His redemptive work.This conversation encourages both men and women to recognize that God works through willing, faithful believers and that the Body of Christ is strongest when believers honor one another while keeping Jesus and His redemptive mission at the center.In This EpisodeJamie Hulker's personal faith journeyStudying Scripture verse by verseWomen throughout God's redemptive planDeborah's leadership in JudgesMary Magdalene and the resurrection of JesusLydia and the Gospel entering EuropePhoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and Romans 16Paul's relationship with female coworkersBiblical calling versus cultural expectationsWhy secondary theological issues should not divide the ChurchMen and women working together in the Body of ChristFaithfulness, obedience, calling, and Christian purposeRestoring biblical conversations that honor God and one anotherKeywords / TagsJamie Hulker, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, Kingdom Crossroads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE Summer 2026, Christian Product Expo, women in the Bible, women in ministry, women in God's redemptive plan, biblical women, Mary Magdalene, Deborah in the Bible, Lydia Bible, Phoebe Romans 16, Priscilla and Aquila, Junia Bible, Romans 16 women, Apostle Paul women, Paul and women, Christian women, women of faith, women and Christianity, biblical womanhood, Christian leadership, women in church leadership, women in the early church, God's purpose for women, God's calling, redemptive plan, Body of Christ, Christian discipleship, Bible study, Christian author, Christian books, Christian podcast, Christian interviews, biblical theology, biblical equality, spiritual calling, Gospel of Jesus Christ, resurrection of Jesus, Great CommissionCall to ActionAre you ready to look again at what Scripture says about the men and women God uses to accomplish His purposes?

What Americans eat is changing, but consumer food trends affect much more than what ends up in the grocery cart. Changes in nutrition policy, affordability, convenience, health trends, and consumer perceptions can ultimately ripple throughout the food system and all the way back to farmers and ranchers.On this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak speaks with Susan Backus, Vice President of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs at the Meat Institute, about the changing American diet and what those shifts mean for animal agriculture.Susan explains how nutrition conversations have evolved from a narrow focus on individual nutrients like fat and cholesterol toward a broader discussion about nutrient density and overall dietary patterns. She also discusses the renewed consumer interest in protein, noting that meat provides much more than protein alone, with nutrients including iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, thiamin, niacin, and potassium.  The conversation also explores the sometimes surprising gap between what consumers say they want and what they actually purchase. Susan points to recent consumer research showing that while shoppers express concern about food processing, convenience has risen to become one of the leading factors influencing food purchases, alongside taste and price. Chrissy and Susan discuss the influence federal dietary guidance can have far beyond individual food choices, including school meals, hospitals, the military, nutrition education, food service, and product innovation. Susan also explains why the Meat Institute believes effective dietary guidance should meet consumers where they are and help people make realistic, incremental improvements rather than recommendations they are unlikely to maintain. Looking ahead, Susan identifies the growing use of GLP-1 medications as one trend that could significantly affect food consumption. As some consumers eat smaller quantities of food, she believes nutrient density may become even more important and could create new opportunities for naturally nutrient-dense animal protein products. The episode also previews Susan's appearance at the Women in Agribusiness Summit in New Orleans, where she will participate in the Food Consumption Trends and Nutrition Policy Panel. Susan explains why bringing perspectives from across agriculture together is critical to breaking down industry silos and building stronger relationships throughout the food and agriculture value chain. Send us Fan MailSchedule a demo today at ecorobotix.com Introducing FarmNewsDaily.com - your source for agriculture news!Subscribe to North American Ag at https://northamericanag.com

Patrick explores the blessings and struggles Catholic families encounter, from moms torn between income and being with their kids to the Church’s teachings about burial, relics, and sacramental marriage. He answers questions on choosing faith-driven paths in a world of mixed messages, why certain Church practices matter, and how civil law interacts with belief. Through vivid stories and heartfelt exchanges, Patrick reveals how grace and patience thread through ordinary days, rooting people in hope even as life gets messy. Carmen (email) - You really think it's ok for a mom to quit her job and go on food stamps so the family can live on her husband's income? Wouldn't you think this would be a reason to limit family size using NFP, rather than going on welfare? (00:38) Rose - Why do bodies need to be buried? What’s wrong with cremation and keeping the ashes? (03:30) John - What is the reason we pray the prayer of St. Michael at the end of Mass? (09:32) Donna - How is it that the Catholic church makes relics out of the bodies of the Saints and spreads the body parts across the world? (10:53) Fred – Women should stay home and raise the family. Let your husband take care of the bills. (13:04) Scott - What is the definition of marriage? (15:08) Steffanie - I stopped teaching so I can be with my third baby. It’s not easy. (24:50) Stacy - Are priests not doing a good job warning people about going to hell? (30:22) Katherine - My son and daughter-in-law are meeting with the priest about becoming Catholic. During a recent meeting, the priest said he can go to confession (about marrying civilly) and go to Holy Communion. Would he be compounding sin upon sin? (40:45) Annette - I was looking for a new car, and a great surprise came through! (44:54) Michelle - I would like all parents to know that when kids are noisy at Mass, I am not bothered at all. The fact that there are there is a blessing and a joy (48:07) Lory - Stay at home moms: I was able to do that also. I had my own business and I was able to bring them with me. So many people told me that I should put my kids in day care. (49:57) Originally Aired on 07-27-2026

But listen to this, then go listen to that. And spoiler alert: I already interviewed her for the second one. Yeah, I just did it yesterday.Brad Crowell 1:16  Wow, awesome!Lesley Logan 1:17  Because I was just, oh great, you're back, and it was really, really. It's a really nuanced conversation. I'll explain more later. But today, Brad's going to tell us what today is.Brad Crowell 1:26  Yeah, today's September 3rd 2026, and it is Merchant Navy Day. What is a merchant navy? You ask. Let's start with what it's not. The regular navy is a branch of the countries of a country's military responsible for national defense and maritime security. In contrast, a merchant navy or the merchant navy is a civilian commercial fleet that transports cargo and passengers globally to support international trade. So effectively, they work for a company that moves products around the world.Lesley Logan 1:53  You could be a merchant navy person and work for multiple different companies.Brad Crowell 1:57  That's right. So it has nothing to do with military. It has everything to do with being a ship pilot on a cargo ship, or even a deckhand, or whatever. If you're working in the ports, I'm not sure if you're on ports, if you're part of the merchant navy, but if you're on the boats that are driving around the world, you're.Lesley Logan 2:12  Like part of the merchant corporate.Brad Crowell 2:17  Sure. Not a pirate. Lesley Logan 2:19  Good, but a pirate.Brad Crowell 2:20  Pirates are real, so yeah, they're definitely not pirates. Okay, yeah, but the merchant navy actually would fight pirates. They're.Lesley Logan 2:26  Like a consumer sailor.Brad Crowell 2:28  Yes, yeah, it's like a, yes, that's right, a commercial sailor.Lesley Logan 2:32  Commercial sailor.Brad Crowell 2:33  Yes.Lesley Logan 2:34  Yeah.Brad Crowell 2:34  Yeah. But it's probably not sailing a boat so much as it is sailing a vessel. Lesley Logan 2:38  Vessel, yeah.Brad Crowell 2:39  Anyway, so Merchant Navy Day sails into view every September 3. Cute, a dedicated time to honor the invaluable contributions of merchant seafarers worldwide. These brave men and women ensure the flow of goods, fuel, and food that powers our daily lives and economies. Take a moment to learn about their sacrifices, support maritime welfare charities, and recognize their often unseen work.Lesley Logan 3:00  I couldn't imagine they're probably on these boats for months at a time.Brad Crowell 3:04  Oh, months.Lesley Logan 3:04  Months.Brad Crowell 3:05  Months. I mean.Lesley Logan 3:06  Months on one plate, and then have to come back. They might not ever see their family.Brad Crowell 3:09  Yes, yeah. So it's absolutely the case. And for example, when I used to work in skin and hair care, we used to manufacture the, the glass was actually manufactured in Korea, and so I would have to organize the factory to take it to the port, and then the port would put it on a, it would be in pallets, and then the pallets would get loaded into a container, those 40-foot containers, and then the container would go on this massive cargo ship, and then it would drive across the ocean. It'sLesley Logan 3:41  Like the size of cruise ships, but just for products.Brad Crowell 3:43  Yeah, and then one year there was a strike for the union workers at the port in Long Beach, and I remember our cargo ship got stuck in a line. Lesley, there was a line of 50 cargo ships.Lesley Logan 3:58  Do you remember? Because during the pandemic, it's even happened. I feel like our friend Joe Lilly had to send a ship out to a ship to get his stuff. It was a whole thing because there's, what the fuck? We got to get these products off the ship.Brad Crowell 4:09  Yeah, and that's very dangerous to do that stuff, you know, on the open water like that because there's just complicated.Lesley Logan 4:14  Yeah, so pirates.Brad Crowell 4:15  Well, not. I mean, when you have 50 boats in a row, there's unlikely that there's going to be pirates because there's also going to be the navy, the military, oh, the military navy, yeah, will be out making sure that everything is safe. But still, regardless, yeah, I mean, so they had to sail across the ocean, and then they turn around and they have to go back. But the company that they work for, they might be in a whole other country. It's like an airline pilot.Lesley Logan 4:37  Yeah.Brad Crowell 4:37  You know, for example, one time we were flying to Cambodia, and we were flying through China. And I think maybe it was just me. I sat next to a guy on the plane who was a pilot, and he's from Brazil, flies for a Chinese airline, and then his Chinese flights would go to Europe. His home is in Brazil. He had to fly to China to get on his flight, his job, to fly to Europe, back and forth to China, you know what I mean.Lesley Logan 5:02  Got to.Brad Crowell 5:03  Move, got to move.Lesley Logan 5:04  Got to move. Anyway, anyway, we have to point out what's going on right now.Brad Crowell 5:09  Yeah, what I wanted to point out right now is that at the time of this recording, there are around 6000 commercial seafarers remaining stranded aboard hundreds of merchant ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz following the sudden collapse of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement, so shipping through this vital energy corridor has ground to a near standstill due to the drones and missiles and all the signs that are goingLesley Logan 5:33  Oh, yeah.Brad Crowell 5:33  So hopefully by the time you're hearing this episode, trade is going to flow again, and there are no more trapped sailors. But it's been devastating. You know, they're not military. They're just trying to do their job, and they're stuck on these ships. And they're not getting food. And if they're getting sick, there's no way to get to them to even give them the supplies that they need. It's quite a problem. And sometimes it feels like it's getting solved, and then it all goes to shit again. So hopefully. Lesley Logan 5:57  I know we're over here talking about our gas prices, but there's literal people whose they're not involved with any country or military, and they're just trying to do their job and they're stuck.Brad Crowell 6:05  Yep. Yeah. So just raising awareness and a big, big shout out to those who do this kind of work for their job. Thanks for doing all that because you make the world go round.Lesley Logan 6:14  Yeah. Well, speaking of the world going round, I started teacher training program.Brad Crowell 6:20  Wow. Yeah.Lesley Logan 6:21  You know, because we got to keep bringing in new people to the Pilates industry. Brad Crowell 6:25  Yes, we do. Lesley Logan 6:25  Because some of us are going to retire someday. So, if you heard the rumor that I started teacher training program, I did. I'm here to let you know it's true, and it's called upLift. Starting early next year, you'll be able to find an epic teacher trainer near you that will host my program. I'm going to work alongside them, guiding them and coaching them and supporting them so that they can support you on your journey. So if you are a new teacher or partially trained Pilates instructor, if you want to study under what I've created and my material, you want to go to xxll.co/uws. That's upLift waitlist student, xxll.co/uws. If you're already a comprehensively trained teacher and you're looking for more of a master's program and you want to learn directly with me, that is going to be our eLevate program. That's lesleylogan.co/elevate. We are filling 2028 as we speak. 2027 is full, and only eLevate grads can apply to be an educator for upLift. So, just some food for thought on that. We have been home from our summer tour for a little bit, and we are hanging out. We're doing some good stuff. I'm super excited to be home because it's going to get real crazy real quick. But we want to say thank you to Balanced Body because they sponsored our tour. We're able to go to some really great new cities on our summer tour, and our winter tour will announce in less than a month. And you want to be on the wait list for that, opc.me/events, because the winter tour always does sell out really quickly, really quick, really quickly because we get to hit a lot of cities, a lot of little cities where stuff doesn't go to like conventions and things like that. We get to hit some of our favorite cities. Shout out to Hershey because you always sell out in some places like that. So make sure you are over there. Supporting this podcast when you listen and you share with friends and you leave reviews is one of the greatest things you can do. It's totally free, and I really, really appreciate it. But if you want to continue support the podcast in other ways, if you are an OPC member, that's one of my ways you can do that. And then you get Pilates, and you get support, and you get community, and you get my feedback on your form. So you can go to onlinepilatesclasses.com, or you can also check out our amazing flashcards. Our flashcards are different pieces of apparatus. They're for anyone who loves Pilates. They can be used in a variety of different ways, and you can go to opc.me/flashcards for that. By the way, when you buy our flashcards, a part of your purchase goes to Nevada SPCA. And you might be thinking, Lesley, I don't live in Nevada. Yeah, well, guess what? We got some dogs and cats and bunnies and chinchillas here. Sometimes some lizards that need a home, and you are helping do that. In fact, our last quarter donation supported 114 shelter animals' food for one whole week.Brad Crowell 8:50  Yeah.Lesley Logan 8:51  114.Brad Crowell 8:52  Yeah, that's pretty amazing.Lesley Logan 8:53  Yeah. So, anyways, you can also get our posters. So there's that opc.me/posters. Okay, this is getting longer and longer every week, Brad. Brad Crowell 9:02  Well, this is just quick. So, our upcoming travel stuff. We've got Cambodia coming up in October. If you want to join us on retreat there, get on the waitlist for next year. Go to crowsnestretretreats.com. Lesley and I are going to be in Sacramento for Balanced Body's 50th anniversary party. They have a POT happening in Sacramento, so you can go to xxll.co/pot for more information on that. Lesley's actually teaching in China. We have no idea how to tell you any more information about that. But that's exciting.Lesley Logan 9:27  I don't have any links. But, I'm teaching in China. The second annual Pilates summit outside of Shanghai.Brad Crowell 9:33  Yeah, that's in November. Then the beginning of December, you're teaching in India in Goa.Lesley Logan 9:38  Yeah, and am I crazy enough to go back and forth? Yes, I fucking am.Brad Crowell 9:41  Because you're flying literally to meet me in Denver, and we go on a winter tour. Lesley Logan 9:44  And also, I can't live in any of these places. I have to come home.Brad Crowell 9:50  Let's roll straight into the charity of the week. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and we're very, very excited to talk about AFSP or the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It is the nation's leading suicide prevention organization, founded in 1987, and now working through 73 chapters in all 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico. The AFSP funds research into what actually prevents suicide, trains clinicians and everyday people to recognize warning signs, supports survivors of loss, and it pushes for policy change, most of it funded not by big checks, but by hundreds of 1000s of small donors, just like you and I, showing up during their Out of the Darkness community walks nationwide. So they do an event, Out of the Darkness community walks, and that's what helps raise money. So it's about as trustworthy of a charity as it gets. They get a four-star exceptional rating from the Charity Navigator. Over 80% of every dollar going straight to their programs, and they have a top-rated distinction from Charity Watch, which is the toughest watchdog in the space. The AFSP also recently announced plans to merge with the Jed Foundation, becoming the country's largest suicide prevention organization, spanning every age group, so any donation is landing at a moment when their reach is about to grow. Suicide has touched your life or someone you love, and statistically, for a lot of our listeners, it has. Yeah, this is a place where showing up really helps. Find more, find out about your local chapter by going to afsp.org, afsp.org, and you can actually, in the United States, there is a suicide crisis lifeline. Instead of 911, it's 988, so you can call or text 988 for free, it's confidential, and it's 24/7. Yeah, so I didn't actually know about 988. I knew that there were prevention phone numbers you could call, but I didn't realize that it was as easy as that.Lesley Logan 11:39  It's important because we all have, we all have hard times. Mental health is a is something that should not be a privileged thing that some insurance companies cover. And then if you don't have that, you don't have that. We all are, no one is immune. And we had a dear friend who actually used to work for the Nevada chapter of the AFSP, AFSP, and I got to see the work that she did for two years, and it's really quite incredible what they're doing just to support people. And I can't think of, like, if you're needing community, what you can go be community for people who need it, and you'd be surprised how that can help. But if you need their help, definitely reach out or go to 988 because this is real shit, you know. So, anyways, what else, Brad? Oh, you guys can send in the charities you want us to shout out?Brad Crowell 12:21  Yeah, text us 310-905-5534. Yeah, stick around. We're gonna dig into this convo with Dr. Amy Loden. Brad Crowell 12:30  Welcome back. Let's talk about Amy Loden. Dr. Amy Loden, based in St. Louis, Missouri, nearly died from severe preeclampsia with heart failure during a high-risk twin pregnancy, an experience that exposed major gaps in conventional care and reshaped how she practices medicine. She's a physician, entrepreneur, and the founder of Vitality MWC, a practice focused on women's metabolic and hormonal health, guiding patients through postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and long-term hormonal balance. She's a TEDx speaker, and she also is the author of the Postpartum Pivot. I will have the link for her book in the show notes below.Lesley Logan 13:09  Important. If you had a baby, you need the book, and it's not, oh, I've had a baby 15 years ago. I think you need the book still. I think it's about all health stuff that happens if you've had babies.Brad Crowell 13:18  Yeah, and what a revealing conversation, you know, with her about what it does to what being pregnant and going through that does to the body and how it reveals things. I thought it was really interesting. So yeah. Anyway, what's one of the things you love that she said?Lesley Logan 13:34  Oh my God, there's so many good stuff. We talked. I mean, we talked about. You've also.Brad Crowell 13:37  Just blended two conversations. So.Lesley Logan 13:39  I'm gonna work on not doing that. We're gonna work on. I'm gonna. Well, I mean, you had.Brad Crowell 13:43  One yesterday. Forget.Lesley Logan 13:44  The one I had yesterday. So we talked about perimenopause, and it's very interesting because I think the way she talked about us in the past, people have treated perimenopause like yes or no. I don't have this thing. I have this thing. No, I don't have that thing. But actually, the symptoms are a sliding scale for every woman, and we all have to figure out where we are on the spectrum, which means we just have to be paying attention to our bodies, which is not easy to you when you're really busy and you've got a lot going on. But so she also said, you know, you are going to have those unpredictable ups and downs. There are going to be some months where your ovaries are working like fire, and you're just like, I'm amazing. There's other months where you just feel like you got run over by a truck. And I think it's really nice to have a doctor who's a female who says that because usually they're, oh, well, you don't have it that bad or we can give you these drugs to cover up those symptoms, but really she's talking aboutBrad Crowell 14:28  Or she said her own experience was, okay, you're within the numbers, see you next time, and that's it.Lesley Logan 14:34  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and also it's like, okay, well, you're within the numbers, but are those the best numbers for you, you know? And so really filling out, you have to figure out where you are. You, my listener, have to figure out where you are, because that will help you advocate for what you need. And it's really important. I'm really grateful for the doctors that I've had because they can. They have said you are within range, but it's not optimal for you. So they were able to give me support so that I could be optimal for me, and I like how she, you know, perimenopause is like reverse adolescence, and it's like this, you know, you're when you're a young girl, you're going through all the puberty, and you have all the hormonal fluctuations, roller coaster rides, and all of a sudden, hopefully, hopefully you have some. I don't know, that wasn't my experience with periods, but like you have this nice, enjoyable couple decades, and then you reverse back. Yeah, it's like a.Brad Crowell 15:20  Reverse hormone, reverse puberty, reverse puberty. I was like, the word is there somewhere. Yeah.Lesley Logan 15:25  And somebody said, somebody said, who is the asshole who let mothers go through perimenopause when their daughters are going through puberty? And it's like, yeah, but remember, people used to have kids at 16, so that wasn't happening. Actually, but it's here's the thing: if you actually are really into perimenopause and loving women, if you do some historical work on what women's roles were, and I'm not talking about like the assholes or like what the grandma's roles, I'm not talking about that because I'm not a grandma. But the women who get after perimenopause, they became these healers and these doulas for the women who were having the babies and coming up, and they're also the ones that held the history and the stories, and so if we can think of it like that, it kind of makes us feel like we're going into our queendom, you know, like we're going in something cool. So she said, and in case you don't know this, it can run anywhere from 10 to 15 years for you actually go through menopause. And Brad's eyes just lit up, and just and then we've said on the podcast before, but menopause is one day.Brad Crowell 16:21  I was gonna say that. Yeah.Lesley Logan 16:22  It's one day, and then you're like post-menopause.Brad Crowell 16:26  And then.Lesley Logan 16:27  You're on the other side.Brad Crowell 16:28  You're on the other side.Lesley Logan 16:28  Yeah, and then and then if you're lucky, you get two years before you have the shittiest heart like men do. So like it's really fucking awful thing. So ladies, you want to keep your hormones going real well for a long, long time because it doesn't get easier.Brad Crowell 16:44  Yeah, she also did mention HRTs. She kind of didn't actually explicitly say that, but she mentioned that all the hormonal research that had been done in the early 2000s, a lot of that has been disproven and also challenged. And there's a lot more information about it now. So, you know, if you have an assumption that you about that that kind of stuff that you've had with you for a long time, I would recommend it's worth revisiting.Lesley Logan 17:08  I would agree with her. I know I've had women challenge me on this who've had family members with experience of breast cancer, and I understand their experience. But I am someone who has double the risk, and my breast doctor is not opposed to me being on HRT, and my gynecologist is not opposed to being on HRT. I'm not currently on estrogen either. I'm only on two of them, but they're not even opposed to me doing that because the risks of me having heart problems are greater, and I'm on a serious watch. So she.Brad Crowell 17:36  Did also mention that it's not for everybody. It can't be for everyone. Lesley Logan 17:39  No, nothing can be for everybody.Brad Crowell 17:40  Right. Right. So it's something for you to have that conversation with your healthcare provider.Lesley Logan 17:44  But I will also, before we move on, I want to just want to say, if you are worried about the breast cancer risks, there are ways to get tested multiple times a year. So I'm on an every-six-month test schedule, and so I still have decisions I probably want to think about, but also, I'm pretty sure they're going to catch it early because I'm going every six months. So it is a personal decision you must make, but please don't make it out of fear from people saying shit to you on the internet. Talk with your doctors.Brad Crowell 18:15  Yeah, yeah. One thing that I found really interesting about what she was talking about was the way that being pregnant and then going through the process of having a child or giving birth, she said, what it does is it actually unveils what was already there, right? So for her case, giving birth was a stress test on her body, and that it revealed what already was in her body. Yeah, you know, genetically probably.Lesley Logan 18:40  Wasn't coming up on any tests because it was probably in range. Yeah, we've had family members with this, and it makes me go and go, "Oh my God, we need to text them right now." Because there's things you can do when you're younger to take care of stuff that's harder to reverse when you're older.Brad Crowell 18:53  Yeah, sure. But she said that, you know, giving birth is a stress test of a woman's metabolism and cardiovascular system. She explained that culturally we view pregnancy and complications as something that where the answer is into the pregnancy and then it's gone. It happened during the pregnancy only and then afterwards they're all better.Lesley Logan 19:13  Right?Brad Crowell 19:13  Everything's good. It's gone.Lesley Logan 19:14  But it's not gone. The underlying condition still there.Brad Crowell 19:17  Yeah, exactly. She's saying that conditions such as the one she experienced, preeclampsia, it reveals underlying inflammation or insulin resistance that was a previous, you know, something her body was dealing with before. It just all of a sudden was stressed, and that's where something got stuck, right? So she said those conditions are not done after you've given birth. It's just simply something that's been unmasked by the physical toll of pregnancy, and once it's been unmasked, now you can treat it, and it's important to continue to treat it. And I think that's also why Lesley was suggesting at the beginning of the episode that her book is still valuable, even if you've had a child, you know, 15 years ago, because, you know, maybe maybe you did have something that went on. And you haven't looked at it as something that still exists in your body today that you will, you know, hopefully won't have to deal with, but you might have to deal with it as you age.Lesley Logan 20:08  Well, you have to listen to the episode because I have to listen to the episode because, my loves, women's heart conditions, the number one symptom for a woman having a heart problem is sudden death.Brad Crowell 20:20  Sudden death.Lesley Logan 20:21  Sudden death. I like. I think I like peeked the mic when I heard that. Brad Crowell 20:26  Yeah, I heard. I heard you in in my office. What?Lesley Logan 20:29  Yeah, yeah. So and I share that with you because unfortunately there still isn't enough information about women's bodies. A lot of information is still based off of men's bodies, and so tests and studies I've done on men only in the last decade-ish have they said you have to study these things on women, right? But we don't really know a lot of information that we should know by now. There should be information on that, and so why I'm like so insistent on you knowing this information is that when you're younger there are things that might look like they're in range, but if stressed, your body can't handle it. Now, stress is not a bad thing because you can also stress a body, and like your body responds the way it's supposed to.Brad Crowell 21:11  It gets stronger, and it.Lesley Logan 21:12  Gets stronger. Sure, but not every body does that because of genetics, because of too much stress, because of the fuel you're having with the sleep, where you are with your hormones. Did you have those things? And so it's just so important that we advocate for ourselves, my loves. Because, and I know, I know insurance is shit. Still got to do it.Brad Crowell 21:31  Yeah, got to do it. Well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into these be it action items we have with Dr. Amy. Finally, let's talk about those. Be it action items, what bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Dr. Amy Logan? She advises women to specifically pay attention to whether their vasomotor systems, hot flashes, night flashes, night sweats—sorry—are happening most days of the week or more than 10 times a day. If you hit that threshold and you choose not to take hormones, she warns you actually have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease or a stroke. Now, obviously, she's not your doctor, right, or our doctor, and she's not. This is like something for you to be aware of to take back to your doctor. But effectively, that's, you know, when she's talking with her patients. That's her barometer. That's her measuring stick. Lesley Logan 22:23  Can you imagine 10 hot flashes?Brad Crowell 22:26  I cannot.Lesley Logan 22:27  Because I don't even have them. But I can't even imagine. I saw that woman on Instagram where you could like see the hot flash, the one that went around. She had 10 of those a day. You have to take a shower. I don't even how you. I don't even know how you do it.Brad Crowell 22:38  Yeah. So while it's not a blanket prescription, she says, and not every woman in the category can or should take hormones. She said it's important for you to understand that that, you know, if you're hitting a point like that, you definitely want to seek professional help to get a medical assessment so that you can make a really informed decision about your health for your future. She urges this listeners not to base decisions on outdated fears. The hormones that we take today are different and safer than what was in the Women's Health Initiative that came out in the early 2000s. So, what about you?Lesley Logan 23:11  She said, "Be true to what your body is telling you." And I think this is really key because I think a lot of times we brush off or push things off or think we ate something bad that one time, or blah blah blah. But really, your body is talking to you, and it doesn't have to. We don't want to wait till it's in crisis, and then we don't want to go, "Oh my god, everything is wrong." We actually, if we were, if we're really paying attention to ourselves, we can start to spot patterns because the doctor cannot be with you every single day, so they are not going to spot the pattern. But you can bring them the pattern, and you are paying attention to yourself. You can do that, and so if you are struggling, you're doing all the things to sleep, and you're not sleeping. That is something you have to tell because your body is telling you, "I don't have the hormones and the things to sleep, which then all of a sudden everything is going to start to shut down in a terrible way when that happens. So make sure you're listening to your body, and you'll become more wise, and you'll even become a better version of yourself. And I thought, what better way to be it till we see it, but to listen to our body? Because it's kind of hard to become the version of yourself you want to be if you're not listening to the version of yourself that you are.Brad Crowell 24:12  That's true.Lesley Logan 24:13  Anyways, I'm telling you guys, my mind is blown and.Brad Crowell 24:16  We already had her back for another episode, so that's going to come out in the near future. Here, what was that topic about?Lesley Logan 24:22  It's a nuanced conversation about metabolism, and it's specifically for people who are in more of an insulin resistance. So it's not, it's going to sound like it's a weight loss conversation. We are not advocating that everyone needs to lose weight, but there's. Brad Crowell 24:35  She was talking about how movement is involved.Lesley Logan 24:37  Yes, right.Brad Crowell 24:38  And then movement. How soon after you've eaten should you be moving, and what kind of movement, and then also how often should you be eating?Lesley Logan 24:46  Yes, and all of that depends on your health.Brad Crowell 24:48  Yeah.Lesley Logan 24:48  Right. And your health is any different. The conversation is not about this weight is the healthy weight. It's not that at all, but that weight is one metric in the biometrics, and so we go into if you have this measurement off, what could also be affecting in the other biometrics, and then how do we address that? Because it's all part of the same wheel, right? When we ended the conversation, it's a very difficult conversation because I don't want anyone to be like, "This is for me," or "This is not for me," or "I don't. I can be healthy in sights, of course, and we have to go off of your blood tests and then your weight and your blood tests, and so it's this really interesting thing, and I really appreciate it because there is information. If you don't have any of these problems, you get to do your thing and have fun until hopefully forever. But if you are struggling with certain biometrics in your blood work and your weight is off, then it's not about losing weight, like every doctor tells you. It's about doing these things that she talks about to help you get your metrics to be where they need to be, and then the weight may or may not change, but the metrics will be better.

In this fascinating "Women Outside the Garden" episode, host Teri Petersen talks with Ashleigh Gentry, who writes the Substack, "Staying and Straying." Ashleigh's story is very interesting because she talks about something that many of us have never heard of: a form of OCD called "Retroactive Jealousy." Together, she and Terri talk about some of the purity messages/culture that dominated her LDS upbringing and how it interacted with her naturally anxious temperament.  They discuss the repercussions it had for her marriage, but also how her explorations of its origins forced her to see and reconfigure beliefs that were submerged: ones didn't know she was carrying with her into her adult years. As she did, she became more confident. She learned to be self-compassionate and trusting of her own  goodness and deep wisdom. Ashleigh then shares how some of her old beliefs have morphed into healthier (and less literal) ways of viewing the world, as well as the gospel and Jesus Christ. This is story of healing, triumph, and meeting the world with confidence. It's a must listen! 

Sharon shares candidly about growing up in a scheme (Scottish term for council estate), making bad choices in her teens, working with the homeless and vulnerable, discipling very broken people, living with chronic fatigue, forgiving marital infidelity, and more. She has packed a huge amount into her life so far, and her passion remains to equip and disciple women, which only happens through costly, long-term, incarnational and intentional journeying with them. Her life is both a testimony and a challenge to be all in for Jesus.▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VSb9WirMuw4I recommend her two books: Unconventional: Practical Guide to Women's Ministry in the Local Church and Unexceptional: Ordinary women doing extraordinary things through GodCheck out www.20schemes.com for what she is involved in and to be in touch with her.

It's a special day over here at Brave Women at Work! Today marks the first show in almost 300 episodes when I have a male guest! Logan is the first!So, you may be thinking, “Why now?”First, the format of this show is not changing. Most of the guests will be female or identify as female, but I just knew in my gut that Logan had to be the first male guest because he is not only interesting and amazing at the young age of 16, but he has co-written a children's book series, Different But the Same Game, that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and empathy, with his aunt, Mylene Barizo.Logan is a brave young man because he is smart, wise, and I love that he has amazing, strong women in his life, such as his mom, NAME, his aunt, Mylene, and also his sister Layni, who has not only beaten leukemia as a child but also has Down's Syndrome. I have been told that Layni is a firecracker and really squeezes the juice out of life, so I hope I get to meet both Layni and Logan in-person one day.The first book in the series, Tabletop Fun, is not just a book. This book is for every child who has ever felt different, every family who has navigated tender conversations about special needs, every parent that has looked for a joyful and more natural way to teach empathy to their kids, and for every teacher that wants to celebrate diversity.Here is more about Logan:Logan Schultz was fourteen years old when he agreed to co-author a children's book celebrating his experience as the sibling to Layni, his sister with Down Syndrome. Layni's special needs have shaped him in many ways. At an early age, he became very aware of how different they were. Learning to accept and embrace their individual qualities came as he matured, a process that accelerated when he lived through Layni's battle with cancer. A high school student today, Logan excels in academics, competes in piano adjudications, is a sports enthusiast (go Seahawks!) and shares a love of travel and food adventures with his family. His parents' gifts of a strong work ethic and love of music are things he will carry into college and beyond.Before we begin, please be sure to share this show with a family member, friend or colleague.

When every employee can produce polished, on-brand-looking content in seconds, who actually owns the brand anymore?Agility requires guardrails, not just accelerators. Moving fast is only an advantage if the organization is still moving as one recognizable company.Today we're going to talk about the gap that opens up between how fast AI lets an organization produce and how well its brand actually holds together as that output scales. We'll explore:- What really gets diluted when content creation is democratized — and how quickly that compounds- Treating brand as infrastructure: building systems that guide AI-generated work rather than teams that police it after the fact- Why investment in brand governance has to scale in lockstep with investment in AI toolsTo help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Meghan Gendelman, CMO of B2B at Canva.About Meghan GendelmanMeghan Gendelman is Chief Marketing Officer, B2B at Canva, where she leads global B2B marketing to help organizations turn visual communication into essential infrastructure for modern work.Meghan's previously led cross-functional teams across Marketing, Enablement, Customer Success, and Sales.

 There's one big reason that many of us are not living our dream life, whether it's having our dream career, our dream partner, our dream home, and that is having agency. Agency is one of the key things that the most successful and the most happy people in the world have in common.  My guest today, Cate Hall, has been at various points in her career the number one ranked female poker player in the world, a Supreme Court attorney, a CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and the author of the book, You Can Just Do Things. She teaches us how to start to cultivating our own agency and get our dream life.

High-profile court cases leave us wondering where society is headed. Women are defending Lindsay Clancy. Leftists are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Is the church equipped to turn men to Christ? Is the church just a feminized day care? A guest on CNN actually defends capitalism after Jemele Hill claims it is inherently "white supremecist" by nature. In sports, we look for the line between professional athletes and college athletes. There is a serial butt-sniffer on the loose, and he's been caught in the act once again.

As closing arguments wind down in Utah, the deep state's desperate plot to frame a lone-wolf scapegoat for Charlie Kirk's assassination is falling apart at the seams. Armed with boots-on-the-ground reporting from citizen journalists and relentless exposure of regime shills, we break through the propaganda machine to deliver the unfiltered truth to the American people. Ana Escobar joins Stew to detail a shadowy web of Hebrew Google searches that allegedly tracked political figures and false-flag operatives right as covert Egyptian military flights touched down across America and unpack new forensic updates surrounding the explosive destruction of a DoD-contracted munitions plant and reveal suspicious flight patterns linking private jets to an alleged off-the-grid weapons trafficking network. The whole left-right paradigm is nothing more than a carefully crafted show designed to keep everyday Americans distracted while the real ruling class pulls the levers of power. Stew sits down with Dr. Michael Rectenwald to expose the false political choices, dissect the ongoing psyops, and lay out what it actually takes to fight back for true American sovereignty. The fake medical establishment relies on toxic GLP-1 injections and poison "food" to keep Americans sick, broken, and dependent on big pharma. Energized Health founder John Jubilee joins Stew to expose how targeting root cellular hydration naturally shreds fat, rebuilds muscle, and reverses chronic illness without gym gimmicks or big box slop.   Join us on KICK https://kick.com/stewpeters  

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has a formal diagnosis for caffeine withdrawal.It does not have one for postpartum psychosis.That's where this episode starts, and it turns out to explain almost everything about the six weeks that followed. As I record this, the jury in Plymouth has told the judge for the second time in two days that it cannot agree on whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible. Five weeks of trial. More than eighty witnesses. The judge has now read them the Tuey-Rodriguez charge, the last instruction he has, and under Massachusetts law he can't read it again without their consent. Twelve people who saw every exhibit can't get there. The internet got there in nine minutes. This episode is not about whether she's guilty. It's about the machine that spent August turning three dead children into content, and it hits everybody.The women who made this their entire personality: the pink shirts, the "Same, Lindsay" trend, a hundred and sixty-four thousand TikToks, twenty-five Etsy designs, a crowd cheering a defense attorney like he'd walked out of Selma, and a fifty-six-year-old woman arrested in a courthouse parking lot. And the men who decided the correct response to a psychiatric emergency was a constitutional amendment. A retired UFC champion who was calling to repeal the 19th two years before he'd ever heard her name. A podcaster on episode 1,825. A commentator who looked at a stranger holding her own baby and asked where CPS was. Also in here: Why parasocial defendant worship is a format and not a female pathology, and what ten thousand people mailing $290,000 to Luigi Mangione proves about that. The Andrea Yates conviction that got overturned because an expert witness testified about a Law & Order episode that had never been filmed. All 269 episodes were searched. It did not exist. Twenty-five years later, a major podcaster covering this case said out loud that he didn't need his story verified.The nine murder-suicides a week that nobody is holding a rally about, and why there is no federal database counting them. Three fathers who raised the exact defense Clancy is raising. Nobody proposed taking anyone's vote away. And the number that ends the argument: the UK has around 21 psychiatric units where a woman in this emergency is admitted with her baby. France has 15. The United States has four million births a year and zero. Six weeks of the loudest people in America screaming about dead children, and not one of them proposed a bed or a solution. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance and Principal Scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes and WHOOP SVP of Research, Algorithms, and Data Emily Capodilupo take a deep dive into the science of women's health. The two define the importance of understanding how a woman's physiology changes across the lifespan. Dr. Holmes and Emily define the various phases of the menstrual cycle and how each influences sleep, recovery, thermoregulation, fueling, and exercise performance. This episode challenges the idea that women need to completely restructure their training around their cycle. Instead, Dr. Holmes and Emily explain how understanding your individual patterns can help you make small, informed adjustments to strain, sleep, and recovery that better support your body.The conversation examines the menstrual cycle as an important signal of overall health, establishing your own physiological baseline, and how changes in those patterns can provide useful information throughout different stages of life. Dr. Holmes and Emily discuss the extensive research WHOOP has conducted across women's health, including pregnancy, fertility, and menopause, exploring how wearable data can help reveal changes that might otherwise be difficult to recognize. Ultimately, this episode highlights how better data, more research, and a more personalized understanding of female physiology can give women greater agency over their health and performance at every stage of life.Buy the new Meridian band(00:00) Trailer(01:02) WHOOP Research: The Importance of Studying Women's Health(03:23) Recovery Through The Menstrual Cycle(06:01) Using Science-Back Research to Develop WHOOP Features(09:12) Menstrual Cycle Variability Insights(12:16) Fuelling Tips for High Performing Women(19:27) Viewing Your Menstrual Cycle as a Vital Sign(21:49) Signs of RED-S and Misalignment(24:17) Early Signs of PMOS and How To Screen For It(28:28) What Your Body Is Trying To Tell You(29:49) What Women Need To Know About Tracking Their Cycle(20:10) How To Advocate For Care(30:56) Importance of Knowing Your Normal (31:22) Early Warning Signs of Perimenopause(32:54) WHOOP For Symptom Tracking(40:26) Sleep Hormone Feedback Loop(43:11) What Male Partners Need To Know(46:44) Pregnancy Research Gaps: What We Know About Pre-Natal Training(53:32) Maternal Care & Recovery(56:12) Exciting New Leads in Women's HealthSupport the showFollow WHOOP:Sign up for WHOOP Advanced LabsTrial WHOOP for Freewww.whoop.comInstagramTikTokYouTubeXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will Ahmed:InstagramXLinkedInFollow Kristen Holmes:InstagramLinkedInBuy Aligned by Dr. Kristen Holmes: Follow Emily Capodilupo:LinkedIn 

After a breech C-section in 2022 and an elective repeat in 2024, Darby switched providers to the “king of VBA2C doctors” at 34 weeks to go for a VBA2C. She hired the best VBAC doula in North Texas, did all the things to prepare and educate herself, but at 40 weeks learned her supportive doctor would be out of town. At 40+5, she labored for nearly three days while facing anti-VBAC doctors, repeated pressure for a C-section, and “dead baby” fear-mongering. She ultimately left the hospital AMA, continued laboring close by with her husband and doula, then returned two days later.Darby finally had a doctor from her supportive practice arrive during an overnight labor, and despite baby's heart rate struggling with contractions, meconium, severe dehydration with ketones, four IVs due to rolling veins, an epidural, and 45 minutes of pushing resulting in a third-degree tear, she got her VBA2C and the perfect skin-to-skin moment she was dreaming of. Darby's message to you all is to know your rights, advocate for yourself, trust your intuition, and stay flexible. About her resistance from doctors, she says, “It was the most intense and probably most medically traumatizing thing of my life, but the end was the most empowering thing ever.” Women of Strength, the way you are treated in birth matters.

College golf is changing fast, and Shauna Taylor is one of the few people who's lived its evolution from every angle - elite player, head coach, recruiter, mentor, and Hall of Famer. If you care about what actually builds winning programs, this conversation will show you why the best teams are built on values, relationships, and the courage to adapt. Shauna Taylor, the head coach of Arkansas Women's Golf, opens up about the team retreat that may have set the tone for her entire season - including two hole-in-ones, a course record, and a viral behind-the-scenes look at her players being exactly who they are. She explains how she uses values exercises to shape locker-room culture, and why player-led teams are often stronger than coach-led ones. Taylor also shares the deeply personal side of her journey - from growing up in Orangeburg, South Carolina, to becoming a decorated Georgia star, to navigating a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis that changed her path from pro golfer to coach. Her story is a reminder that the best leaders are often the ones who've had to rebuild their own definition of success. We also get into the future of women's college golf: the rise of LEAP, the real value of education in the NIL era, and why Taylor believes programs must reward players fairly without losing sight of what makes college golf special. Along the way, she talks about the power of Arkansas's home event, the Blessings Intercollegiate, the prestige of the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, and what makes upcoming inaugural events like the Haskins tournament and the NANEA worth watching. Taylor's Hall of Fame recognition, her habit of writing thank-you notes every morning, and her commitment to relationships over transactions make this episode a must-listen for coaches, college golf fans, and anyone who wants a masterclass in building something that lasts.

Lindsay Clancy deadlocked for a second time, forcing the judge to send them back for further deliberations. Kimmer asks whether Clancy has become an “O.J. case” for women. Plus, disturbing courthouse interference, the arrest of a self-described “crime junkie,” and a revealing round of man-on-the-street interviews that sparks a heated debate over whether men and women are judging the case differently.

This week we discuss women, sports, and cons.

“North South Man Woman” co-director Sun Kim returns to the NK News Podcast to discuss the five-year process of making the documentary, which follows North Korean defector Yoojin Han and her matchmaking agency connecting North Korean women with South Korean men. Kim explains how a chance encounter with longtime collaborator Morten Traavik in North Korea eventually led to the project, why Yoojin agreed to participate when other matchmakers declined and how the COVID-19 pandemic forced the filmmakers to rethink the documentary's original focus on couples meeting and falling in love. The conversation explores how years of filming changed Kim's relationships with Yoojin and the other women, the challenges of documenting marriage and intimacy and what Yoojin's own relationship revealed about cultural differences, personal compatibility and the difficulties North Korean defectors can face while building new lives in South Korea. Kim also reflects on stereotypes surrounding North Korean women, the pressure some defectors feel to hide their accents and why the filmmakers sought to keep politics in the background — even as inter-Korean relations deteriorated and Pyongyang abandoned reunification as a national goal. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

The Audition Is Not the Bond Sustainable Presence vs. Performative Effort A bond dies when one person sells a self and the other shops for a feeling. The sale is the feathered act. The shop is the clipboard. Presence is what remains when both stop. The act is never the person. The act is a tool aimed at an end: safety, sex, money, company, status, the high of being picked. That is procurement. Manipulation by function, even when the performer calls it romance. If the effort collapses once the prize is in hand, it was never devotion. It was a campaign that reached its finish line. The judge is inside the same economy. A long script trained women to treat the strongest opening night as evidence of a man. Heat got read as character. Persistence got read as loyalty. Volume got read as value. That training makes a costume easy to buy. It does not make women uniquely foolish. Anyone shopping for a feeling is available to a costume. The costume works because somebody in the room is shopping. The wound staffs both jobs. It writes the act that gets you chosen. It writes the checklist that decides who is allowed to stay. People name that taste. People name that self-respect. A lot of it is old pain running hiring. Non-judgment is required for presence that lasts, and it is not a limp truce. It is the refusal to let the injury do the seeing. A veto that calls itself “standards” is still the wound. A collapse that calls itself “open” is still fear. Neither one can hold a life. The midweek is the audit the campaign cannot fake. Friday still has an audience. Saturday still pays you for arriving. Then the room goes ordinary. No soundtrack hired for the scene. The performer feels unemployed and calls it ingratitude. The spectator feels starved and calls it “they changed.” One was extracting a result. One was consuming a product. A deal that starts in costume collects in costume. Consciousness relating strips the feathers. Not as a vibe. As labor. You arrive with nothing to sell. You stay with no clipboard. You want without turning the other body into a prize. You see without putting them on trial. Effort does not disappear. Effort stops advertising. Two people put need, fear, and limit into the same hour. Neither waits to move first so they can remain the one who cannot lose. Some birds burn a short miracle, get picked, and leave the labor. Other birds have to match. Head. Stride. Timing. If you cannot stay in time, you are not a pair. The market sold the short miracle and called it desire. The match does not trend. It lasts. Under every question, one question. Were you offering yourself, or extracting a result? Were you meeting someone, or grading a show? If both of you take the feathers off tonight, is there still a reason to stay in the room? That is the bond. Not the opening night. The room that remains when nobody is selling and nobody is shopping. Women do not escape the feathers by sitting still. Stillness can be the act. A woman's campaign is often quieter, which is why it gets misnamed as “feminine” and protected from the same charge. The function is identical. Means to an end. Safety. Sex. Money. Company. Status. Being chosen without having to choose.

How does a woman get so far away from herself without even realizing it?It rarely happens all at once.It can happen slowly, through years of taking care of other people, saying yes when you want to say no, ignoring what your body is telling you, keeping the peace, meeting expectations, and becoming really good at being who everyone else needs you to be.Until one day, you realize you're not entirely sure what you need anymore.In this episode, Janell sits down with Angela Obert, business development expert and owner of Network Connection Minnesota, for a deeply personal conversation about people-pleasing, codependency, self-abandonment, identity, and what it takes to rebuild a relationship with yourself.Angela shares openly about her own experience with codependency and how she began recognizing the ways she had changed or abandoned parts of herself to please, help, or fix others. She and Janell also explore why “doing the work” doesn't mean old patterns disappear, and how transformation can look less like eliminating those parts of yourself and more like changing your relationship with them.They talk about:How people-pleasing can become self-abandonmentWhy old patterns can still show up after years of personal growthWhat rebuilding self-trust actually looks likeWhy keeping small promises to yourself mattersThe difference between consistency and perfectionHow the nervous system can keep familiar identities and patterns in placeLearning to listen to the signals your body is sendingWhy uncomfortable emotions, including anger, need space to be feltHow to begin separating what you genuinely want from what you've been conditioned to wantWhy being physically “in the room” can create something another podcast, book, or program simply can'tUltimately, so much of this conversation comes back to one thing:The relationship you have with yourself.And perhaps coming back to yourself isn't about reinventing who you are.It's about remembering.

In a world quick to prescribe electrical violence to the brain under the guise of “treatment,” it is a profound relief—and a moral imperative—to sit down with one of the clearest voices challenging this relic of psychiatric barbarism. On The Breggin Hour, my husband Peter Breggin and I spoke at length with Professor John Read, a clinical psychologist from the University of East London whose work has helped pierce the veil of denial surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Professor Read is no outsider throwing stones. He comes from the heart of the clinical psychology establishment, yet he has become one of its most formidable critics on ECT. His recent international survey—the largest ever, with 1,100 participants from 44 countries—gives voice to the lived reality of those who have endured this procedure. The findings are damning. What the Largest ECT Survivor Survey Reveals The research team, which included ECT survivors like our colleague Sarah Hancock, asked hard questions about efficacy, memory loss, and informed consent. The results: On five different measures of effectiveness, the “majority” of recipients reported “no improvement” or that their condition was “made worse”. Two-thirds experienced significant memory loss—both retrograde (losing past memories) and anterograde (inability to form new ones). For most, this persisted for at least three years, which in practical terms means it is often permanent. The vast majority were not adequately informed about these risks. Neither were their families. Women continue to receive ECT at twice the rate of men, with 82% of the psychiatrists administering it being male—an observation that raises uncomfortable questions about power, empathy, and whose distress we choose to “treat” with electricity. These are not abstract statistics. They represent shattered lives, erased memories, and families left picking up the pieces. As Peter has long documented, ECT is essentially a closed-head electrical lobotomy that exceeds OSHA safety thresholds for electrical brain injury. The brain is not “reset”—it is traumatized. Professor Read put it plainly: we are inducing grand mal seizures in people while another branch of medicine works desperately to prevent them. The original 1930s theory—that schizophrenia and epilepsy were mutually exclusive, so inducing seizures could cure the former—was bizarre even then. That we continue this practice ninety years later, with so little rigorous evidence, is a scandal. Legal Victories: Hitting Them Where It Hurts  Professor Read has served as an expert witness in key cases that are finally forcing accountability. In a 2023 Florida jury trial, manufacturer Somatics was found liable for failing to adequately warn about brain damage and permanent memory loss. A 2024 California case against individual psychiatrists and a psychiatric center—alleging negligence, fraud, malpractice, and battery—settled just before trial after surviving all dismissal attempts. MECTA, another major manufacturer, has filed for bankruptcy amid mounting litigation and withdrawn its Spectrum device, only to introduce a near-identical “Sigma” model. The industry adapts, but the human cost remains. Peter shared his own observations from decades of work, including the first successful ECT malpractice case (Salters, 2005). He described the visible horror: patients emerging confused, amnesic, and disoriented—much like victims of repeated concussions. This is traumatic brain injury, period. The temporary “euphoria” some experience is often the brain's response to injury, not genuine healing. The Deeper Problem: Over-Medicalization of Human Suffering  John Read situates ECT within a larger tragedy—the reduction of complex human distress to a purely biological problem solvable by pills or electricity. Poverty, trauma, abuse, loneliness, and loss are pushed aside while white coats reach for the shock machine. Many psychiatrists, he notes, lack the skills or willingness to sit with profound emotional pain, especially in women and older patients. This resonates deeply with our work exposing psychiatric harm. Whether antidepressants, antipsychotics, or ECT, the pattern is the same: interventions that promise quick fixes but deliver dependency, disability, and despair. The public understands that life circumstances drive mental suffering. Too many professionals still do not.  A Call to Survivors, Families, and Truth-Seekers  If you or a loved one has been harmed by ECT, know that you are not alone. Professor Read's survey papers are open access—search “John Read ECT survey” to read them directly. Share your story. Support organizations fighting for informed consent and bans on this outdated practice. We must demand real informed consent, rigorous science, and an end to the normalization of brain damage as “therapy.” Peter and I continue this fight because human rights do not end at the psychiatrist's door. The brain is not a machine to be jolted into submission. Listen to the full conversation on The Breggin Hour (available on America Out Loud and major podcast platforms). Professor Read's humility, clarity, and dedication shine through. We are grateful for his partnership in this long struggle and look forward to future collaborations.
