Gary and Suzanne welcome back dream expert Kelly Sullivan Walden, aka Dr. Dream, to explore the profound influence of dreaming in our lives. Walden shares transformative practices like creating a "dream cocoon" to treat sleep as a sacred ritual and offers strategies for navigating the "upper limits" of success to prevent self-sabotage when our deepest desires materialize. Listeners are empowered to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary, allowing their inner glow to do the heavy lifting in a life filled with synchronicity.

In this episode, former combat medic turned integration coach Sravan Allopi breaks down why high-performing men often struggle to maintain connection in their intimate relationships. Sravan explains the "worthiness wound"—a deep-seated belief that drives men to overwork and emotionally shut down—and how this trauma manifests as avoidance or explosive reactivity with partners. We discuss practical strategies for men to stop "logic-ing" their way out of emotional problems and instead use somatic tools to regulate their nervous system before arguments spiral out of control. Sravan shares powerful frameworks for rebuilding trust and safety, such as the concept of "being the mountain" to weather emotional storms and using "containment" strategies to communicate effectively with the feminine. From the "4-7-8" breathing protocol that diffuses anger in seconds to "briefing" your partner to create clarity during a crisis, this conversation offers a tactical toolkit for men who want to move from emotional burnout to being a grounded, present partner.

DAMTT: Stella, Marching Bands and Overrated Daily Rituals Are you surprised that Stacy has no problem talking with strangers or injecting in their conversations? Neither is Eric as he pulls a quote from a Simpson’s episode that parodies A Streetcar Named Desire. This leads to a story about Ethan Hawke. Eric is prepping for his gum grafting surgery which sounds hideous and led Eric to declare, “NO.” Did you feel the earth move too?? Meanwhile Gertie awaits her checkup results – fingers crossed she’s doing better! Stacy’s story arc has shifted from ankle updates to moving hassles and hilarity. Eric checked off a musical for his Cultural Blindspot this week; another one inspired by the Simpon’s, he watched The Music Man. While entertained by a very young and cute Shirley Jones, Eric was less impressed with Harold Hill’s non-scam scam that could have been trimmed down a bit. Meanwhile, Stacy has a new appreciation for Lego building as she puts back together several broken sets that could bring in money. Somehow this leads to a story about Eric rewatching Indiana Jones and the odd story of the two minor league baseball players, both named Brady Feigl. As for this episode’s top topic, Overrated Daily Rituals, Stacy and Eric agree selfcare is just a good habit and the rest could be superstition, OCD, addiction, or just a personal quirk.

Episode 105: “After the Confetti Settles” The first week of January often brings a quiet shift: the excitement fades, routines return, and doubts creep in. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore what actually sustains change once novelty wears off. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and ancient wisdom, they unpack why motivation is unreliable — and what works instead. This episode helps listeners normalize the dip, reframe it as progress (not failure), and learn how to stay engaged with their intentions in a grounded, compassionate way.

Voices of Experience show #400!!!

In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Jackson Rezab, founder of 1117 Studios, to explore how video storytelling can move beyond transactional advertising to truly humanize a business and build trust. Transitioning from a background in competitive athletics and car sales, Jackson shares his unique "plan and execute" philosophy and explains why entrepreneurs should ignore vanity metrics like "internet trends" to focus on the "conversion audience" that actually drives revenue. The conversation also dives into the deep personal motivation behind 1117 Studios, revealing how tragic family losses inspired Jackson’s mission to ensure that the world's greatest stories regarding legacy and purpose never go untold. About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them. This show isn’t just about what they’ve built – it’s also about who they are as people. We explore their journeys of inspiration, adversity, risk, and resilience. We dig into the pivotal moments, the challenges that shaped them, and the drive that pushed them to step outside the box and do something different. These are people who are made of more. And so are our listeners. Each episode is an invitation to connect more deeply; not only with the story, but with the mission behind each business. Whether it inspires you to chase a dream, break your own mold, or simply experience and support these ventures in a way that speaks to you, Made of More reminds us that greatness often begins with a story worth telling.

The discussion centers on the killing of L.J. Causey, Jr.—a father of three—and exposes the stark gap between police de-escalation policies and real-world practice. Coalition leaders Elaine Simons and Sonia Joseph share deeply personal perspectives shaped by the loss of their own sons, while outlining concrete legislative priorities for the 2026 session, including independent prosecutors, Attorney General investigations, stronger standards for law-enforcement leadership, and limits on police tactics that erode public trust. This episode is both a tribute to lives lost and a call to action—highlighting how impacted families are leading statewide efforts to change policy, demand transparency, and protect future generations. If you care about justice, public safety, and accountability in Washington State, this is a conversation you need to hear in full.

Episode 104: “The Spice of Life - Designing a Year That Feels Alive” New Year’s Eve often comes with pressure: resolutions, reinvention, and unrealistic expectations. But what if the new year wasn’t about fixing yourself — and instead about cultivating excitement, curiosity, and aliveness? In this New Year’s Eve episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore how to shape the coming year from a grounded, emotionally integrated place. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and timeless wisdom, they unpack how excitement fuels sustainable change — and why small, daily commitments can transform how we experience an entire year. As part of the episode, JDK and Ashley each commit (without telling each other in advance) to one daily practice they’ll carry through all of 2026, inviting listeners to experiment alongside them.

New Year Holiday Experience

On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 12/23/09) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Vayechi.

Heather is a long time animal lover and veterinary assistant. She saw a need for a facility that would offer a safe space for dogs, or any pets, recovering from surgery and needing round the clock care—perhaps hourly medications, bandage changing, and other services in those first, critical 3-5 days after surgery-- that a pet parent might not be able to manage without some help. The Pet Recovery Center also works with reactive dogs. Some dogs are unable to stay in regular boarding facilities due to reactivity but Heather has a history of working with reactive pets and offers them a safe place to stay while their families are away. The Pet Recovery Center is located in the Spanaway/Pierce County area but will accept pets from all over the region. To learn more, visit www.petrecoverycenter.com

This episode of Mothers Justice Radio goes beyond headlines and soundbites. In a candid, wide-ranging conversation, Seattle City Councilmember Rob Saka joins the show to discuss public safety, police accountability, and the complex realities communities are navigating right now — from policy decisions at City Hall to the lived experiences of families most impacted by violence and the justice system. Rather than quick answers, this episode leans into nuance: how accountability, prevention, community trust, and governance intersect — and where the hard conversations still need to happen. If you care about where Seattle is headed, how decisions are being made, and what real accountability looks like beyond talking points, this is a conversation worth hearing in full. 🎧 Listen to the entire episode of Mothers Justice Radio and decide for yourself what leadership, responsibility, and community-centered solutions should look like.

Christmas Holiday Experience

Join host Sue Rose Minahan and Australian astrology guest Melissa Elvira Billington for a potent fireside chat: "2026 Be Your Best Medicine." 2026 dynamically cascades with the outer planets re-entering their new cycle for years ahead. Signaling this incredible shift of consciousness takes off when Saturn and Neptune align at the beginning of the zodiac at zero Aries. In all actuality we haven’t quite experienced this epic series of outer planets moving into new signs collectively. However, we always have a choice how to determine a renewed perspective that welcomes in encountering this energetic time. The archetypal energies focus on engaging with our identity to express ourselves and communicate our ideals, our visions, our beliefs, and connect with like-minded people. Essentially, we have the opportunity to create and manifest, accepting personal responsibility for our feelings that guide that direction.

In this episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection, we sit down with Joey Ventura, a man who has spent nearly 40 years in finance but argues that "emotional investments might just outperform your 401k". We dive into the unique challenges of dating after 60, from decoding the "ancient hieroglyphs" of emojis to navigating apps designed by 20-somethings. Joey opens up about his 35-year marriage, his return to the dating scene, and why holding onto his naivete and "Peter Pan" spirit has been essential for his happiness. He applies his professional expertise to relationships, explaining how to treat love like a portfolio by balancing "growth and income" to ensure long-term stability. Beyond the financial analogies, Joey shares profound wisdom on handling conflict and vulnerability. He details the "tennis match" strategy for diffusing arguments by refusing to return the "serve" of negativity, and discusses the fine line between being vulnerable and exposing a "chink in the armor" that can be used against you. We also explore the power of creativity as an emotional reset, why karaoke is the ultimate confidence builder for men, and why he advises his grandkids to find a partner who is "equally yoked" rather than just physically attractive.

Episode 103: “When Hope Helps — And When It Holds Us Back” It’s Christmas Eve — a night filled with symbolism, expectation, longing, and hope. But what is “hope” in real human terms? And how do we hold hope without drifting into passivity, denial, or waiting for someone else to rescue us? In this episode, JDK and Ashley gently explore hope’s emotional, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. They examine how hope can be a powerful motivator — and how, when misunderstood, it can keep us stuck, waiting, or disconnected from the present moment. Drawing on research from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and meaning-based therapies, they reframe hope as an active, values-driven practice rather than a passive wish. With stories, reflection, and practical guidance, this Christmas Eve conversation invites listeners into a grounded, compassionate, and intentional way of bringing hope into each new day.

In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdman sits down with Chloe May Lamenzo, a former professional soccer player and co-founder of Golden Nova Agency, to discuss the intersection of personal growth and entrepreneurship. Chloe shares stories from her unique "hippie" upbringing and alternative education, explaining how she learned to separate her identity from her career and "reprogram" her mind to move from negative self-talk to an abundance mindset. The conversation dives into her strategies for business and connection, including her "sniper" approach to networking that focuses on observation and quality over quantity, as well as her passion for helping businesses achieve sustainability by adapting to rapid changes in technology and the economy. About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them. This show isn’t just about what they’ve built – it’s also about who they are as people. We explore their journeys of inspiration, adversity, risk, and resilience. We dig into the pivotal moments, the challenges that shaped them, and the drive that pushed them to step outside the box and do something different. These are people who are made of more. And so are our listeners. Each episode is an invitation to connect more deeply; not only with the story, but with the mission behind each business. Whether it inspires you to chase a dream, break your own mold, or simply experience and support these ventures in a way that speaks to you, Made of More reminds us that greatness often begins with a story worth telling.

The holidays can often bring out feelings of nostalgia, some sweet and some more melancholy. We often reminisce about some of those who have left us, while still appreciating what we do have. Today Marilyn spoke about the wonderful pets she has had throughout her life and how each one brought something different to the table and co-created their own “story”. And how the dogs she has now are doing what they do best—being themselves, showing love, and bringing smiles. The main thought—each animal we bring into our lives will bring us something unique and special if we just give it time to develop and grow. Wishing all peace, joy and love this holiday season! MM Along with the podcasts you can also hear “Love Has Many Faces” on 1150 KKNW from 9 to 9:30 Pacific Time on Tuesday mornings—either on the air or on www.1150kknw.com

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with Bec’s “In the News” segment, where one classic shoe staple officially takes a backseat. According to current fashion chatter, black pumps are now considered nearly unnoticeable, and the color quietly stepping into the spotlight this winter is white. From crisp bright white to soft ivory and ecru, the trend isn’t about matching tonally, but about pairing lighter footwear with darker, more grounded ensembles for contrast that feels fresh and modern. From there, the conversation turns to real life dressing during one of the busiest weeks of the year. What are we actually wearing right now when days stretch from morning errands to cooking, hosting, traveling, and socializing. How to balance comfort with looking intentional, and why it’s more than okay to opt out of over-styled expectations altogether. They also share their current wardrobe rotations, the hero pieces pulling extra weight this week, the shoes they’re living in, and the go-to formulas that make getting dressed easier when time and energy are in short supply. It’s a refreshingly honest look at style that works with your life, not against it. It’s a practical, honest conversation about seasonal style that works hard, feels good, and still looks pulled together, no costume changes required.

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team turns its attention from getting dressed to setting the scene. Bec kicks off the episode with an “In the News” segment that feels perfectly timed, spotlighting one of the biggest holiday decorating trends of the season: the return of the “Ralph Lauren Christmas.” Think cozy, traditional luxury with rich textures like velvet and wool, classic tartans, deep heritage colors, warm metals, and natural elements that feel collected rather than overdone. Best of all, it’s a look that can be recreated without a luxury budget. Inspired by this trend, the conversation moves into low-effort, high-impact ways to style your home for the holidays. From greenery placed with intention to simplifying surfaces, layering in texture with throws and pillows, choosing one signature seasonal scent, and letting lighting and candles do the heavy lifting, the team shares approachable ideas that make a home feel warm and welcoming without turning it into a winter wonderland. They also dive into easy upgrades for hosting, including table linens that elevate space instantly, modern neutral holiday palettes that stand the test of time, and a rapid-fire round of five-minute refreshes to pull everything together just before guests arrive. It’s a practical, stylish guide to holiday home styling that proves you don’t need more décor, just better decisions.
