127. A Muslim Woman's Story With Healing Pelvic Pain

The V Hive

Here's the "cycle"... a man watches porn... often in violation of his very own conscience... and then masturbates... and then feels guilty... and then tries to NOT watch porn... and then starts the cycle over by watching porn again.  The Power of Purity is for men who are interested in discovering h...

In this episode Tony shares the story of his recent heart attack. On a Monday morning Tony began to feel a tightness and uncomfortable feeling in his chest, which then escalated to his throat and jaw.  He eventually drove himself to the hospital, and as the day unfolded, it was confirmed that he had a heart attack.  This led to a heart catheterization and the placement of a stent in Tony's heart. Because of this situation Tony was not able to publish an episode of The Power of Purity Podcast for the past two weeks, and in today's episode he shares his story along with 3 key observations that have emerged in his thoughts as a result of this incident. (1) Every day we have is a gift from God, and we should not take our days for granted.  (2) What should be the prioritites of our life?  (3) There is "LOVE"! 13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”  14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 13 For you created my inmost being;     you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;     your works are wonderful,     I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you     when I was made in the secret place,     when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;     all the days ordained for me were written in your book     before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!     How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them,     they would outnumber the grains of sand—     when I awake, I am still with you.  Psalm 139:13-18   20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”  Luke 12:20-21  The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7

POP 406 - Tony's Heart Attack

In this episode Tony shares 4 important observations from the resurrection of Christ that inspire great hope in our hearts. No matter what's going on in our lives or situations, we do not have to be afraid, because of the resurrection. We can both see and experience God's fingerprints and work in our own hearts and lives, and then, based upon what the Lord has allowed us to "see", we can then "go and tell" others. Sometimes we're afraid because of the difficult situations or circumsances of our lives, but God always makes his joy available to us, and this is really good news, because it's so much better to have joy in the midst of our fears instead of just having our fears by themselves. And we can rest assured that the Lord will reveal himself to us, because the very first person he chose to reveal himself to, after the resurrection, was Mary Magdalene, who had been possessed by seven demons. What happened on that day, the most significant day of human history, reveals a template of how God still works in the hearts and lives of his followers. Be blessed, in Jesus' Name, as you listen to these "4 Easter Observations"!

POP 405 - 4 Easter Observations

In this episode, which was recorded during Holy Week, Tony shares some reflections from Matthew chapter 21 concerning Palm Sunday. This was the day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, and as he did the people shouted exclamations of praise, adoration, and joy! "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!" Among other key thoughts, Tony focuses on one intriguing observation from the passage, which is the prophetic quote that was written by the prophet Zechariah 500 years before the actual triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!  Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!  See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.  Zechariah 9:9 Based upon this scripture, Tony reflects on the unusal way in which the animal that Jesus rode into Jerusalem is mentioned in the passage: (1) A donkey (2) A colt (3) A foal Why did Zechariah seem to go above and beyond the call of duty to provide such intricate detail concerning, of all things, the donkey that Jesus would ride over 500 years later?  The Jews of the day were waiting for the Messiah, their Savior and Deliverer, and that's exactly who Jesus was, but the way the Lord comes into our lives and situations isn't always the way we were expecting! 

POP 404 - A Donkey, a Colt, a Foal

Jesus was fully God, and fully human, both at the same time. Jesus, as a human being, lived in this broken and fallen world. And in his humanity, Jesus experienced temptation just like us. Because of this, we have a Savior who understands us. When Jesus was in the wilderness he fasted for 40 days. At the end of the fast he was hungry, and the devil came to him to tempt hm. The devil tempted his to "turn these stones into bread". Or said another way, the essence of the temtptation was for Jesus to take care of the legitimate needs of his physical body in his own way. As if the devil was saying, "You're hungry Jesus, so do what you need to do to take care of yourself!" And in much the same way, the enemy often comes to us and tempts us to take care of the legitimate needs of our own physical body in our own way. In this sense, the urge for a man to satisfy his legitimate sexual needs through the use of pronography is a similar temptation to "turn these stones into bread". Jesus set the example for us. Jesus was a man, and Jesus was tempted, but Jesus also resisted those temptations. The bible then tells us that we can also resist the temptations that come to us, because God will not allow us to be tempted beyond that which we can bear. You have the Lord in your heart and life if you're a Christ beleiver, and you can overcome temptations just like Jesus did!

POP 403 - The Temptation of Jesus

Just like a coin has 2 sides - heads and tails - there are 2 different components that are virutally inseperable, which are sex and relationship. Or, said another, sex is intended to occur within the context of relaitonship, and this leads to a very important and undeniable reality, which implicates the importance of healthy relaitonship. Or, said another way, the healthier and more funcitonal the relationship is , the healthier and more funcitonal the sex will be that occurs within the context of that relationship. But there's another very important and undenial reality, which is the truth that relationship can be very challenging and difficult. What often happens in the context of relationship is what Tony is calling in this episode, the "X". The "X" is not good. The "X" is hard. The "X" is a disagrement, a difficulty, a tension, a fight, an argument, or a misunderstanding. And the reality is that every couple is going to experience, not just one "X" in their relationship, but many different "X's" over time. And therefore a very important question emerges, which is implicates the title of today's episode: What do we do with the "X's" when they show up in our relationship? In this episode Tony advocates that there are only 5 options on how to deal with the "X", and he shares those 5 options. Of the 5 options, there's one that's the recommended and outstanding option that can and will lead to the possibly of traversing the "X" in a healhty and productive way. Learn to deal with your "X's" in a better way, and that will lead to a healthier and more functional relationship, which will in turn create the environment that makes healthier and more functional sex possible!

In this episode of the Dani Daniels podcast show, we kick the show off with nothing but porn stars and booze. That’s how Dani and Lily Love roll! They get into things that you wouldn’t suspect even for a second. All I can tell you is that I think Lily is the bomb as are Mike Greco’s cooking skills. The episode starts off on the right track with Dani Daniels introducing Lily Love and slugging down some good old fashion scotch. These two girls talk about their friendships and Lily is the fucking bomb when it comes to taking dick. Lily wastes no time and breaks right out full force with a few cumshot horror stories that will make anyone cringe at the sight of that (pun intended). They steamroll the conversation into the craziest cumshots they’ve ever taken and Dani starts chatting it up about her love for creampies. Things get a bit more down to earth when Lily Love explains her life in Pensacola, Florida and what it’s like living in a small military town. She explains that guys love seeing her and just staring at her. In her mind, she knows exactly what these guys are thinking and why. She admits that it would make her happier for a guy to simply walk up and introduce himself instead of giving her the weird eye! Things take a turn and they head to “crazy town” when Lily starts talking about doing gangbangs in Germany and her loving the swinger lifestyle. Of course, what a better way to transition into a big conversation about big cock! As for Mike Greco, he owns a restaurant in New York City that Dani likes to dine at almost daily. The restaurant is called Giulietta’s Cantina Club and it’s location on Carmine Street in West Village. If you’re ever in the neighborhood feel free to stop by and let them know that you the guys from Camsoda sent you! He’ll probably cook up something special for you and your date. You’ll have to listen/watch the episode above to learn about all the tasty food that he has for you to try. If you like Italian food, then you’re going to love this!

In today's episode, Tracey and Cayly are catching y'all up on what they've been doing over the past 9ish months and talking all about how doing less, simplifying their lives, and prioritizing ease has been a game changer for them both.

Episode 101:  Simplicity, Ease, & the Life-Changing Magic of Doing Less

Well, we’re here! Our 100th and final episode. Tracey and I thought it was only fitting to spend some time talking about goodbyes and transitions as we say farewell to this project after two years of making it. In this conversation, we talk about relationships, identity, scarcity, and a concept Brene Brown calls “foreboding joy.” We hope you enjoy this discussion. Topics discussed include:  Our feelings about saying goodbye to the podcast Staying in relationships too long because you’re afraid to say goodbye Preventative medicine for relationship health Issues in relationships never come out of nowhere Transitions in relationships and saying goodbye to previous incarnations of the same relationship Missing the younger versions of your kids as they age and not wanting your kids to grow up Our reluctance to let go of peak experiences (i.e. foreboding joy) Scarcity mindset about joy We can’t live in a state of elation all the time How old we are vs. how old we FEEL Saying goodbye to old identities Inside/outside congruency We are capable of feeling multiple feelings at the same time The power of changing one thing And more!  Thank you so much for joining us over the past two years. Tracey and I have absolutely loved making this podcast and we are going to miss connecting with all of you every week.

Well, friends, we’ve only got two episodes of the podcast left, including this one. Whaaaat? I know. It’s coming fast. For this week’s conversation, Tracey and decided it would be fun to revisit some popular topics from past episodes to offer new insights and advice where possible. We’re talking relationships, building intentional community, navigating through conflict in intimate partnerships, and social decluttering. We hope you enjoy this discussion! Specific topics include:  Being intentional about who you surround yourself with Emotions are contagious & the importance of being boundaried Social decluttering and what happens when you can’t declutter someone completely Social decluttering and resentment Cayly’s experience of being socially decluttered recently Allowing relationships to evolve Anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment Misalignment in friendships Unrealistic expectations in relationships and being honest with yourself and each other Emotional pain and physical pain register in the brain in the same way Can we change our attachment styles and become more secure? Tracey’s and my experiences of shifting toward security in our relationships Three possible outcomes for relationships Comfort and safety are not the same thing The power of awareness to change our patterns We will always get triggered How meditation helps us see ourselves more clearly Allowing things to be true instead of resisting them Letting your identity be fluid and ever-evolving Giving your partner room to change and evolve Female friendship in your 30s and 40s can be hard Cultivating community in adulthood On feeling like an outsider Leaving the door open in friendship The power of group healing and workshops And more!

This week, Tracey and I are talking all about emotional fragility, normalizing uncomfortable feelings, tools for navigating difficult emotions, and asking the question:  Can you cure anxiety? Specific topics discussed include:  Why do we treat humans like we’re emotionally fragile? Even babies are not emotionally fragile Why we’re like cockroaches Why anxious is just a feeling state and how it’s beneficial Anxiety is not an illness Relationship between emotional fragility and anxiety Why just wanting the feelings to go away is not actually helpful Helping kids navigate anxiety, around bedtime, etc. Internal vs. external resources Giving kids tools AND validating their feelings All feelings are okay, not all behaviors are helpful How Cayly’s parents responded when she started self-harming Tracey’s experience of being anxious during childhood Limits and empathy are both necessary Sleep training for infants and children The importance of sleep for emotional regulation and confidence building Wants vs. needs Assuming positive intent and not taking things personally Emotional fragility and ego Safe spaces and trigger warnings Are we, as a society, cultivating emotional fragility? Bullying and social power in childhood Benefits of intentionally seeking discomfort Safety vs. comfort Being a highly sensitive person and the importance of boundaries/emotional armor Why we shouldn’t label our children And more!
