Marta Maria (Martamaria) Kupeczik was born in the People's Republic of Hungary on 15 March, a day which commemorates the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. By 1985, while she was attending elementary school, there was already political and economic instability, and János Kádár, Hungary's last communist leader, was forced to recognize theimpending collapse of communism in his country. However, thanks to the Revolutions of 1989, communist rule peacefully transitioned to a democratic system and Martamaria's generation was the first young generation who could travel freely to visit other Western European countries. Martamaria studied German in Rostock/Germany in 1993 and progressed from zero to intermediate level in just three months. Speaking a major Western European language created a stepping stone for her to travel within Germany, where she broke the Guinness vocal range world record in 1998 at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber. She then travelled to London for the official recognition of the record which she received in 1999. She returned to Hungary in 2000 when her UK visa expired. She enjoyed some media attention on her return to her home country but she was not being able to connect to the popular international music scene of the time and returned to the UK at the first opportunity–once Hungary joined the EU in 2004. Martamaria applied for Tech Music Schools, where she graduated as a Bachelor of Music popular performance singer in 2009. During her study years she co-founded the rock band Achilla, where she was active at all levels, from the organization of the band to the music creation. Being the lyricist of the band she unintentionally reflected on the Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome (NAS) she - at this time unknowingly- suffered from while touring with the band. She was under coercive control during her study and musical touring years. As she was always helping people improve their life in some way, Martamaria has decided to become a life coach. She successfully completed the Coach Training International (CTI) prestigious coach training program in 2015. She recognized her ongoing trauma bond to her controller only in October 2016 while attending a dangerous personalities seminar where she learned that she was personally and professionally relying on a highly pathological covert narcissist and this was also the major cause of her band's “mysterious” disintegration. Mainly because of this experience Martamaria started to research serious empathy deficits which lead her to the recognition that, due to the impaired ability to mutually connect, significant affective empathy deficit leads its sufferers to resort to coercively controlling, evoking Stockholm Syndrome in their victims. When recognizing NAS as part of an international major mental health pandemic, she decided to devote her life to mental health research and public speaking https://martamaria.com/ Martamaria has co-authored a book revealing her own trauma bonding story that was published on 11 Nov 2021 in the SHIFT – A New Era Begins: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shift-Begins-Mrs-Sabine-Matharu/dp/1916029728/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1636564323&sr=8-1 Chapter 18 - “The Lesson of Toxic Love” became a postgraduate teaching material at the St Mary's University, Twickenham “Human Trafficking, Migration and Organised Crime” MA's identification, care and support for victims module that she herself studied there.

Description: The fitness industry, internally, has always considered itself part of the healthcare delivery system. Although this was a widely held internal perspective, it was clear that external stakeholders (in government and public health) did not hold this same viewpoint. This episode explores the critical role fitness clubs play in our public health infrastructure and what the industry needs to do to change the perception of external stakeholders to truly be recognized as part of the healthcare delivery system.

Simon and Darian are back to review the movie, The Three Fugitives, starring Nick Nolte and Martin Short. Darian can't believe he never saw this movie in the 80's and Simon believes that no one would make a movie like this anymore. Listen to the guys talk about the movie and the funny turn it takes when each guy answers if they would be open to meeting different versions of themselves in other dimensions/universes. Movie Description: Lucas (Nick Nolte) is a former bank robber who, after prison time, has given up his unlawful ways. One day, inexperienced criminal Ned Perry (Martin Short) holds up the bank Lucas is visiting. Ned is in desperate need of money; his wife died several years earlier, and his mute daughter, Meg (Sarah Rowland Doroff), requires specialized education. Ned holds Lucas hostage. But, when a detective (Alan Ruck) mistakenly thinks Lucas is in on the job, things take an unexpected turn. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drdarianparker/message

Jenn has a story of her own. As a child, she suffered solitary confinement, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, rape, divorce, abortion, cutting, and suicide attempts. Her turbulent background has forged a path to help those who are suffering, ignored, and silenced. Sh!t You Don't Want to Talk About is a place people can come to find hope and healing, to know they are not alone, and to finally be heard. Clearly, Jenn's been through plenty of sh!t most people probably don't want to even acknowledge, let alone talk about. She thought she'd dealt with her past, but brain surgery in November 2020 unleashed a tsunami of memories that couldn't be ignored. Working through trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar type 2, and ADHD will be a lifelong journey. Jenn strives to break the stigma of Sh!t You Don't Talk About and turn it into Sh!t2TalkAbout. website: shit2talkabout.com email: jenn@shit2talkabout.com social media: @shit2talkabout

I'm a woman in her 40's who just 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 “waisting 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. https://www.thecuriousgirldiaries.com https://www.facebook.com/TheCuriousGirlLayla https://twitter.com/thecurious_girl https://www.instagram.com/the_curiousgirldiaries/ Share this:

Zion was born on September 29, 1997 in Columbus, OH. Due to his condition (Caudal Regression Syndrome...born with no legs), and his birth mother's inability to care for him, Zion was immediately thrust into the foster care system. Thus, his journey to find a permanent home and a someone to call "mom" began. Over the course of the next 16 years Zion moved numerous times and found himself in a variety of circumstances and environments...many of them unfavorable. There were situations when Zion was mentally abused, physically bullied, and underfed...but he remained optimistic (faith in God). Being physically different from others didn't help, but Zion used a positive mindset, gracious demeanor, and diligent study habits to make friends and excel academically. Zion was introduced to the sport of wrestling while in elementary school, but initially didn't fare very well...in fact, he didn't win a match for several years. Upon entering Massillon High School, Zion met Coach Gil Donahue who recognized his passion for the sport and relentless work ethic. A wonderful friendship and bond was forged. Over the next 3 years Zion improved his wrestling technique and hit the weight room like a man possessed. An amazing transformation followed! Part of this miraculous course of events included Zion being adopted by a woman who had been praying for a son for years! In dramatic fashion, the process was completed only within days before Zion was officially scheduled to be legally aged-out (no chance of adoption). In his senior year, Zion finished the season 33-15 and was one match from qualifying for the D-I Ohio High School State Wrestling Championships. In an incredible display of heart and determination, Zion wrestled his opponent (a 20 pd. weight differential) beyond the grueling 6 minutes of regulation and 2 overtimes...only to fall 1-0 in sudden death. The fans in the packed gymnasium rose to their feet and zealously applauded Zion's courageous effort. A few months later Zion went on to capture his second high school track wheel chair racing title at the state championships. Zion's herculean efforts hadn't gone unnoticed as a Hollywood producer documented his journey during senior year. The film "Zion" garnered critical acclaim at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival (2018) and global media exposure (it's currently available on Netflix). Zion was recruited by several colleges to wrestle and chose to attend Kent State (Tuscarawas)...where he spent the following 2 years steadily improving his skills and finding success at the varsity level. With his confidence and national ranking on the rise, Zion decided to embark on his toughest mission to date...becoming the first American Athlete to compete in both the Olympic (wrestling) and Paralympic (wheelchair racing) Games in Tokyo (2020). Understanding the magnitude of this difficult challenge, Zion has surrounded himself with a very dedicated and highly supportive team...including budding friendships with Olympic/World Champion Jordan Burroughs and undefeated (133-0) 4x NCAA titlist Joey Davis. Due to his tremendous upper body strength and athleticism, Zion is also pursuing interests in power lifting (bench press), wheelchair bodybuilding, and the circus arts. In addition to his brutal training/practice regimen, Zion stays busy as a motivational speaker. The moral of Zion's inspirational story is that things don't always go smoothly in life...but in order to succeed, you must adapt to your individual circumstances. Priding himself in hard work, Zion offers that there are no excuses...or shortcuts! It's all about faith, passion, and perseverance. Zion urges others to "Be Greater Than" > ...the obstacles you face. YOU, and only YOU are in control of your destiny!
