If The New Year Feels Weird, Listen

from Dopamine Diaries · host Coach Kate

Urgency isn’t my word for 2026, and if you’re feeling that too, this episode is for you.In this very honest, slightly uncomfortable conversation, I’m talking about why 2026 is shaping up to be a maintenance year for me: refining instead of grinding, listening instead of forcing, and honoring the very signals I teach women to notice.I share what it looks like to build something you love (hello, HBA), hit momentum, and then feel your body quietly tap you on the shoulder asking you to slow down, plus why that isn’t failure, backsliding, or “losing your edge.” It’s actually proof the work is working.If you’re coming off a year that took everything you had…If setting big shiny goals feels more exhausting than exciting…If you’re high-functioning, self-aware, and still weirdly disconnected from what your body needs…Consider this your permission slip for a maintenance year, and a reminder that sustainable success lives in the bridge between your brain and your body, not in blowing past both.Happy 2026. Take a breath.HBA: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/hba

Explicit The Corona Diaries Steve Hogarth Lead singer of Marillion, father, hippy, punk, soul singer, progressive rockstar (wtf!), defender of the faith, voice of reason in a world gone crazy......and now podcaster.Join me as I talk about my life and what is rambling around in my head.

Explicit The Curious Girl Diaries thecuriousgirldiaries.com Hi I'm Layla London. I'm just the girl next door who recently decided to explore her sexuality. After a 3.5 year, self imposed, dry spell I woke up one day and said "What the heck am I doing to myself?". Why have I just shut off that side of my sexuality? I need physical contact badly. I decided to stop "wasting the pretty" and get out there! Having set out on my "sexual road trip" I'm scratching things off my sex bucket list. I'm getting laid, exploring "kinks" (a word I really didn't know anything about before this), having fun, sifting through the emotions it stirs up in me, blogging and podcasting about it anonymously. Submit your questions and feedback to Layla by emailing [email protected]. For more sexy fun, including blog posts, and unpublished exclusive content visit thecuriousgirldiaries.com. Explicit The Habitat Gimlet On a remote mountain in Hawaii, there's a fake planet Mars. Six volunteers are secluded in an imitation Mars habitat where they will work as imitation astronauts for one very real year. The goal: to help NASA understand what life might be like on the red planet—and plan for the day when the dress rehearsals are over, and we blast off for real. Host Lynn Levy has been chronicling this experiment from the moment the crew set foot in their habitat, communicating with them through audio diaries that detail their discoveries, their frustrations, and their evolving and devolving relationships with each other. From those diaries, Gimlet Media has crafted an addictive serialized documentary: the true story of a fake planet. Explicit
