When You're Doing the Healing Work—but Still Don't Feel Safe After Betrayal With Anne Blythe, M.Ed., Founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery After betrayal, women are often told to heal. Regulate your nervous system. Stop obsessing. Work on your triggers. Communicate better. Go to therapy. Learn to trust again. So you do… But what happens when you've read the books, done the therapy, practiced the tools, and worked incredibly hard—and your body still doesn't feel safe? Maybe the problem isn't that you're failing at healing. Maybe your nervous system is responding to something that is still happening. In this episode, Lora Cheadle talks with Anne Blythe, M.Ed., founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery, host of The Betrayal Trauma Recovery Podcast, and creator of the Clarity After Betrayal Workshop, about one of the most confusing parts of betrayal recovery: learning to distinguish between the trauma of what happened in the past and harm that may still be occurring in the present. Anne challenges conventional betrayal-recovery models by asking women to consider whether what they've been treating solely as a relationship problem may also involve patterns of control, coercion, exploitation, or emotional and psychological abuse. Drawing from Anne's lived experience and her extensive interviews with betrayed women, Lora and Anne explore gaslighting, intimate deception, sexual coercion, and why certain approaches to couples therapy can sometimes make an already confusing situation even harder to see clearly. They also tackle the question so many women desperately want answered: How do I know if he's really changing—or simply getting better at saying and doing the right things? Words can sound wonderful. Promises can bring tremendous relief. A partner may appear calmer, more attentive, more remorseful, or more committed to recovery. But genuine change isn't something you should have to manufacture for him—or manage with a checklist. The goal is to become grounded enough in yourself that you can step back, observe what is actually happening, protect your emotional and psychological safety, and make decisions based on reality rather than fear, hope, pressure, or someone else's instructions. And importantly, this conversation is not about telling women to stay or leave. Recognizing harmful behavior does not automatically dictate divorce. Likewise, choosing to stay does not mean tolerating behavior that is unsafe or unacceptable. The goal is clarity, safety, strategy, and trusting yourself enough to determine what is right for your own life. Top 3 Takeaways If you're doing the healing work but still don't feel safe, don't automatically assume you're doing something wrong. After betrayal, women can become so focused on regulating themselves and becoming "less reactive" that they interpret every continued nervous-system response as evidence they haven't healed enough. But if deception, manipulation, coercion, or other harmful behavior is ongoing, your body may be responding to what is happening in the present—not simply reacting to the past. Don't evaluate change by words alone. Create enough emotional space to observe what is actually happening. Anne recommends giving yourself small breaks from the pain so your entire day isn't consumed by betrayal. From a more regulated place, you can begin observing your partner's behavior rather than relying solely on reassurance or promises. Genuine change becomes something you witness over time—not something you have to coach, manage, or convince yourself is happening. You don't have to decide "stay or leave" before you learn how to protect yourself. Emotional and psychological safety strategies can matter whether you remain married, separate, reconcile, or eventually divorce. The goal isn't for someone else to tell you what you "have to" do. It's to understand what you're dealing with, gather the legal, financial, emotional, and practical information you need, and develop a strategy that allows you to make decisions from clarity instead of coercion or fear. Favorite Quotes “You can't heal inside ongoing trauma.” — Lora Cheadle “Trusting that women know what the right thing for them is is part of what we do at BTR.” — Anne Blythe “They can heal or not, and I'm still in charge of me.” — Lora Cheadle About Anne Blythe, M.Ed. Anne Blythe, M.Ed., is the founder and executive director of Betrayal Trauma Recovery, producer and host of The Betrayal Trauma Recovery Podcast, author of Trauma Mama Husband Drama, and creator of the Clarity After Betrayal Workshop. Anne brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #686 is an hour of dynamic, visionary acoustic improvised music and songs by Mariam Massaro played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, 4- and 8-string ukulele, acoustic guitar, crystal bowl, Celtic harp, harmonica and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-September of 2026, today's show begins with the intense, powerful “Oh Holy Ground” before easing into the classically-inflected folk of “Many Seeds Have Fallen”, a charmingly formal song with a beautifully simple and uncolored vocal from Mariam. “Thunderbeings” is a powerful, driving storm song with throbbing Native drum and chiming acoustic guitar and “Restore” is a rich, sacred love song to the Earth and a powerful prayer to sustainability. “Spirit Of Fire” is a powerfully spiritual song from Mariam that reveres the elements with a dancing, energized rhythm built around Mariam's driving ukulele strums and reverent, soaring vocal and featuring a gorgeous coda decorated with Mariam's evocative Native flute. “Let's Open To Our Own Majesty” opens as an exotic, psychedelic excursion that shifts into a pretty, peaceful song with lovely chord motifs and a lilting vocal from Mariam. Mariam strums her evocatively flowing Celtic harp over heartbeat Native drum and minimalist piano for the rich, affecting “Goodbye Forest We Love You” and “Mighty Are The Wings Of Love” is made exotic and mysterious by the minor chord figurations of Mariam's tart, rhythmic mandolin and Bob's modal piano work. “We Call In The Wind” is another powerful prayer to the elements originally recorded for Mariam's “Vision Quest” LP and the band presents it with precision and power. “I Am The Mother Earth” is another “Vision Quest” track that the ensemble expands and stretches in intriguing, imaginative ways before closing today's show with the tight, groovy blues rocker “Oh The Magical”, a driving Ray Charles-like workout with throbbing drums and chiming ukulele.

Recovery Is Personal, Not One Size Fits All September is National Recovery Month, and in this deeply personal solo episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt opens an honest conversation about substance use, recovery, harm reduction, mental health, and what it really means to support someone who is struggling. Recovery isn't always a straight line. It isn't an overnight decision, a 30, 60, or 90-day program, or a journey that looks the same for everyone. For many people, recovery is a daily commitment, and ultimately, it has to belong to the person living it. Kelli explores the difficult reality families and caregivers often face when they desperately want someone they love to get help. We can offer resources, encouragement, treatment options, connection and love, but what happens when our desire to help turns into pressure, guilt, shame or trying to control someone else's journey? Through stories from her own life, her experiences with her sister, and the powerful recovery journey of a friend, Kelli looks at what can happen when someone finally feels seen instead of judged. She also discusses harm reduction, Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, and why keeping someone alive must come before judging the choices that brought them to that moment. The conversation challenges us to think differently about what "successful" recovery has to look like and to recognize that one person's path may look very different from another's. Kelli also gets vulnerable about her own experiences with alcohol, cigarettes and substances growing up, the influence of friends and family, and her personal decision to stop drinking. Her story serves as a reminder that our relationships with substances, our reasons for using them, and our decisions about recovery are deeply personal. At the heart of this episode is a simple message: stop judging and start connecting. Instead of telling someone what their recovery should look like, ask what support they need. Help them find resources. Help them build community. Meet them where they are. And remember that recovery is not about perfection. Recovery is personal. Recovery can be messy. Recovery can take many forms. Most importantly, recovery is possible. Together, let's replace judgment with compassion, isolation with connection, and shame with support as we #MakeMentalHealthMatter.

You Can Lose Everything And Still Rebuild She evacuated Hurricane Katrina while battling Bell's palsy, then realized she was homeless in an instant and still had to keep moving. That is the kind of story that cuts through noise, because it is not just about a natural disaster, it is about what stress does to the body, what matters when you have minutes to decide, and how a life gets rebuilt from whatever you managed to carry out the door. We sit down with Raquel, a Marine with a fierce fighting spirit and a deep compassion that was forged in hard places. We talk through the Katrina timeline, the chaos of packing when your brain is overloaded, and the preparedness basics that actually protect your future, like keeping vital documents in a fireproof waterproof container and having a true grab-and-go plan. From there, we connect the “outer storm” to the “inner storm,” including moral injury, trauma in the body, and why healing work cannot be postponed forever. The conversation also goes straight into relationships and community. We unpack how technology, comfort, and isolation can quietly erode family connection, why forgiveness is freeing but does not erase boundaries, and how faith can guide you through breaking away from what is unhealthy. We also share what we are building together around radiant living and introduce Raquel's book Katrina, My Own Inner Storm, A Moral Injury Journey along with her 40-day framework for growth and healing.

Divorce After Infidelity – How to Protect Yourself Without Starting a War If betrayal has suddenly made divorce a possibility, you may feel trapped between two terrible options: stay in a marriage that no longer feels safe or enter a legal battle that causes even more damage. But divorce does not automatically have to mean war. In this conversation, Lora Cheadle speaks with divorce consultant, mediator, co-parenting specialist, and Good Divorce Method founder Karen McNenny about approaching divorce with greater intention, clarity, and care. Together, they explore how to protect yourself without allowing fear or anger to control the process, set boundaries with a hostile spouse, support children across two homes, navigate the painful reality of an affair partner entering family life, and recover emotionally after the legal process ends. Top 3 Takeaways A good divorce is not painless or conflict-free. A good divorce is handled intentionally enough that the process itself does not create more damage than the marriage already did. The goal is not to avoid every difficult emotion, but to build a more functional future instead of automatically turning former partners into enemies. Protecting yourself does not require becoming hostile. You can establish firm boundaries without becoming a doormat or escalating every conflict. When conversations become insulting or emotionally charged, pause, clearly state what you are willing to participate in, and return to the discussion when it can be respectful and productive. The legal process can end a marriage, but it cannot recover you. Divorce may change your home, finances, parenting, identity, friendships, and imagined future. Legal guidance is essential, but emotional healing, nervous system regulation, self-trust, and creating the life that comes next require a different kind of support. Favorite Quotes “Your marriage is ending, not your relationship.” —Karen McNenny “A good divorce does not mean denying your anger or rushing your grief. It means choosing where your pain belongs.” —Lora Cheadle About Karen Karen McNenny is the author of The Good Divorce: How to End Your Marriage Without Ending Your Family. As a mediator, divorce consultant, and co-parent specialist, she helps families navigate separation without destroying the relationships that matter most. In a culture that often treats divorce like a battlefield, Karen offers a radically different model — one that exposes the systemic failures of the traditional divorce industry and replaces them with a child-centered, dignity-driven approach. Her work reframes divorce not as a personal failure, but as a family restructuring that can be handled with intention, stability, and long-term family stability. What makes Karen's perspective especially powerful is that she has lived it. She navigated her own divorce and successfully raised her children across two homes — from kindergarten through college — proving that families can restructure without rupturing. She is known for blending warmth, clarity, and practical strategy to help families navigate change with intention. A sought-after speaker, trusted advisor, and TEDx presenter, Karen also brings more than two decades of leadership coaching and consulting experience across the nonprofit,  corporate, and public sectors.

What We Tend, Tends Us: The Big Yeses That Shape a Life What happens when the things we choose to care for begin changing us in return? In this episode of Living on Purpose, Carolyn Romano reflects on the BIG YES moments that have shaped her life — from creating Charlie's Place Healing Sanctuary after the loss of a beloved dog, to driving across the country for a lamb who could not walk, welcoming animals during the uncertainty of 2020, and following unexpected calls into spiritual leadership, community-building, and a more integrated life. Along the way, Carolyn explores the difference between a sacred yes and the automatic yes of a capable person who has learned to carry almost anything. She asks: What is actually mine to carry? What deserves my yes? What happens when love, responsibility, and good intentions still cannot guarantee the outcome? And how do we recognize what is uniquely ours to tend? Through stories of animals, loss, professional reinvention, shamanic practice, Tending the Sacred, and life at Charlie's Place, Carolyn reflects on a lesson she continues to learn: tending is not control. We can pay attention, respond with care, and love deeply without knowing exactly where the path will lead. This episode is an invitation to consider the choices that have shaped your own life — and the possibility that purpose may be less about finding one perfect calling and more about learning to recognize what is truly yours to tend.

A World Suicide Prevention Day Message of Hope with Kelli Melissa Reinhardt Recorded on World Suicide Prevention Day, this special episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show carries a message that cannot wait: we need more connection, more compassion, more kindness, and more willingness to show up for one another. Host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt shares why World Suicide Prevention Day is so significant and takes a deeply personal look at the lives behind the suicide statistics. These aren't just numbers. They are parents, children, siblings, friends, coworkers, veterans, service members, and people who were loved. Kelli explores the devastating impact suicide continues to have in the United States and around the world, with special attention to two populations close to her heart: our veterans and our youth. She speaks passionately about the men and women who serve our country, the trauma many experience during their service, and the stigma and fear that can keep veterans and military members from seeking mental health support. After sacrificing so much for others, no veteran should ever feel that ending their life is their only way out. The conversation also turns to today's young people. They are growing up in a world vastly different from the one many of us knew. Social media, technology, constant comparison, cyberbullying, academic and social pressures, and a world that never really seems to switch off can create an enormous emotional burden. Bullying no longer necessarily ends when a child leaves school. It can follow them home through a screen. So Kelli asks a bigger question: Where did our compassion go? When did it become easier to tear someone down from behind a screen than to reach out a hand? When did disagreement have to become division? And what could change if we made the intentional choice to love more, listen more, judge less, and help one another instead of hurting one another? As the episode coincides with the anniversary of September 11, Kelli also takes time to honor the lives lost on 9/11, reflect on where she was when the tragedy unfolded, and remember both the heartbreak and the unity that followed. It becomes another reminder of the tremendous human cost of hatred, violence, war, and division, and of how desperately our world needs connection. Suicide prevention isn't only a conversation for one day, one month, one country, or mental health professionals. It belongs to all of us. Check on your people. Listen without judgment. Take someone's pain seriously. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Tell people they matter while they are here to hear it. Choose kindness. Choose connection. Choose compassion. Because sometimes helping someone feel a little less alone can make more of a difference than we will ever know. Together, we can #MakeMentalHealthMatter.

Shae Owens Knows the Meaningful Change in Schools Scarlett's guest, Shae Owens, knows that meaningful change in schools doesn't begin with a program, it begins with a relationship. Shae spent thirty years serving Texas public schools as an elementary teacher and school counselor. During the final seven years of her counseling career, she led the schoolwide implementation of Choose Love for Schools at Hillsboro Elementary, helping bring the Choose Love Formula to life for more than 600 students from pre-K through third grade.But Shae didn't simply implement a curriculum. She helped create a culture where students and educators felt seen, supported and connected. As a Choose Love Ambassador, she carried that experience to educators, counselors and administrators across Texas. And after retiring from public education in 2025, she joined the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement as our school support partner, what I often call our Relationship Manager. Today, Shae walks alongside schools on their Choose Love journeys—listening to their needs, offering individualized guidance and reminding educators that they do not have to do this important work alone. Her passion is helping schools move Choose Love beyond a curriculum and make it a mindset, a way of being and part of the everyday culture.

"I can't go home without you: TIMELESS union" In this Saturday Morning Movie Session for the August 15th episode of "The Way," David Hoffmeister explores the weekend's theme, "I can't go home without you: TIMELESS union". Using a well-known superhero film about mutants as a teaching tool, David discusses the true meaning of forgiveness and the illusion of linear time. He explains that attempting to alter the past or fix external circumstances is a faulty plan rooted in the ego. Instead, true healing requires going deep into the mind to release grievances, let go of judgment, and shift our purpose to the Holy Spirit. By accepting that the past is entirely gone and the future is merely imagined, we can return to the present moment and rest in perfect peace.

How Much Truth Do You Really Need? “The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.” After betrayal, you might feel desperate to know everything. Who was she? How long did it last? What happened? Did he love her? Is he finally telling you everything? And at the exact same time, you might desperately wish you could unknown all of it. You want yesterday back. You want your memories back. You want a business trip to just be a business trip. You want your marriage, your husband, and your reality back. That push-pull is one of the hardest parts of betrayal: Tell me everything. Please don't tell me that. But how much truth do you really need? In this episode, we're talking about the difference between truth and certainty, why some information is essential for your health, safety, finances, and decision-making, and why knowing one more detail doesn't necessarily make you feel safer. I'm also sharing a deeply personal moment from about 18 months after discovery, when I realized there was one question I had never asked my husband. When I finally asked it, his answer was painful. But instead of destroying me, the truth gave me something real to stand on. Because eventually, the most important question may no longer be, “What else don't I know about him?” It may be: What is true for me now? Top 3 Takeaways Truth and certainty are not the same thing. After betrayal, it's natural to search for information because your reality has been shattered. But at some point, the search for truth can become a search for certainty, and no amount of information can guarantee that you'll never be blindsided again. You can want the truth and wish you could unknow it at the same time. Part of what you're grieving may be the loss of not knowing. Before discovery, your life made sense. Healing isn't about pretending you never learned the truth. It's reaching a place where knowing it no longer destroys you. Eventually, his truth has to lead you back to your own. What do you need to know? What would need to happen for reconciliation to be possible? What are you willing and unwilling to live with? What do you want? You may never know every detail, but you can reach a place where you know enough and, most importantly, where you know and trust yourself Favorite Quotes “Maybe the truth that ultimately sets you free isn't finally knowing everything he did. Maybe it's finally knowing what you're going to do with what you know.” If FLAUNT! has helped you through betrayal, make sure you're subscribed, and please leave a quick comment or review.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #685 is an hour of visionary, improvised acoustic music played dynamically by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, harmonica, Native flute, mandolin, ukulele, acoustic guitar, mandolin and dulcimer, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in late August of 2026, today's show begins with the mystical, slow rocker “Oh The Glory Of Another Day”, a mesmerizing piece led by Craig's fundamental low drum pulse and Mariam's chiming dulcimer before easing into the languid, aching “Standing Ones Of Peace”, a pretty love ballad with a fine, leaping melody from Mariam and fine accompaniment from the whole ensemble. “Open Every Day” is a Ray Charles-like blues with hypnotic piano motifs and rocking solo harmonica from Mariam and “Smile” is a beautiful folk song led by Mariam's rhythmic ukulele strumming and dancing, wide-intervaled melody. “Happy I Am” is another powerfully mesmerizing, mystical piece, this time framed by Mariam's chiming mandolin and a deep, booming piano motif from Bob that subcommunicates a deeply buried, obscured power in contrast with Mariam's gossamer, dancing melody. “Soldaygo” is a lush, meditative prayer featuring gorgeous Native flute passages from Mariam and Craig's heartbeat Native drum. Today's hour finishes with an energized, rhythmic medley of two songs from Mariam, “Always In Love” and “Sailing Down The Waves Of Life”, close the show with a powerful, driving groove supported by steady conga work from Craig.

Life, Loss and Legacy: 25 Years After September 11th In this special episode of Her Health Compass, we reflect on September 11th through a deeply personal story, but with a broader purpose: to explore what grief, trauma, resilience, caregiving, memory and legacy can teach all of us. HHC's co-host  Heather, shares her family's experience of that day and the 25 years that followed, including the loss of her brother-in-law Todd Ouida, the survival of her father-in-law Herb, the devastating losses within the Cantor Fitzgerald community where her husband and brother-in-law worked, and the ways those experiences continued to shape family life long after the world moved on. The conversation reaches beyond September 11 itself to the questions at the heart of Her Health Compass: How do we live alongside grief? How do we support someone through pain we cannot fix? What does survivor's guilt look like? How do we carry people forward without being defined only by losing them? And how can loss, over time, become connected to purpose, service and legacy? It is a conversation about remembering, showing up, living fully, and ultimately making the time we are given count. http://www.mybuddytodd.org/ https://www.cantorrelief.org/ https://www.jerseyshorebooks.com/product-page/the-noble-one Find Yonni & Heather here https://www.herhealthcompass.com/

Barber Understanding the human impact of the Israeli-Palestinian situation through personal stories, offering a vital and much-needed perspective for academics, NGOs, policymakers, and human rights advocates Brian Barber's tender witnessing of these extraordinary lives provides a window into a world of suffering and survival that few of us would have the privilege to know without his dedication and profound service to these friendships.” ELIZA T. GRISWOLD, Pulitzer Prize Winning Author and Poet Survival, Resilience, and Hope: Life Stories from the Gaza Strip Brian K. Barber, a finalist for the IAN Book Awards of the Year, presents No Way but Forward: Life Stories of Three Families in the Gaza Strip. It is an extraordinary memoir that offers an in-depth look at the personal experiences of three Palestinian families living under the crushing weight of occupation and conflict. A Raw and Personal Account of Life Under Siege For over three decades, Barber has had an intimate connection with Hammam, Hussam, and Khalil, the three central figures of the book. Through their stories, readers get a glimpse into the realities of life under the Israeli occupation of Gaza. The book explores themes of political violence, family survival, and personal hope in the face of constant adversity. Gaza: A Place of Conflict, Yet Hope and Family Endure The heart of No Way but Forward lies in its portrayal of Palestinian resilience. The stories of Hammam, Hussam, and Khalil are a testament to the unbreakable ties of family and the enduring power of hope. As the occupation continues and violence becomes a part of daily life, these families hold tight to their dignity and dreams. Their narratives include the universal themes of war, resistance, and family life, resilience stories, and inspirational war stories that resonate far beyond Gaza. The Aftermath of October 7th, 2023: A New Chapter in Survival The final chapters of No Way but Forward are particularly poignant, recounting the aftermath of the devastating events of October 7th, 2023. These heart-wrenching passages provide a glimpse into the ongoing struggles for survival amid war, revealing the strength of the human spirit as families continue to endure and rebuild.

Kelli Melissa Reinhardt: What If One Conversation Could Save a Life? September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and in this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt opens an important conversation about suicide prevention, self-injury, caregiving, and the difference each of us can make in someone else's life. After kicking things off with a little Labor Day humor, including the irony that many of our hardworking laborers still have to work on Labor Day, Kelli turns to a topic that has touched her life personally and profoundly. Drawing from her own experiences with her sister, two cousins, and her personal history with cutting when she was younger, Kelli shares why recognizing the signs that someone may be struggling matters. She talks about what to look for, what we can say, how to start difficult conversations, and why simply listening without trying to fix everything can be one of the most powerful ways to support someone. Kelli also breaks down the difference between suicidal behavior and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury, or NSSI, helping remove some of the misconceptions surrounding self-injury while sharing part of her own story. But supporting others can take a toll, too. This episode also explores the importance of caring for ourselves as caregivers, setting boundaries, finding support, and remembering that we cannot pour endlessly from an empty cup. This isn't just an episode about suicide awareness. It's about connection. It's about paying attention. It's about having conversations we may be afraid to have. And it's about understanding that you don't have to be a mental health professional to listen, care, ask the question, and help connect someone to support. You never know when one conversation, one question, or one person choosing to stay and listen could make all the difference. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services in your area. Together, we can create conversations that save lives and #MakeMentalHealthMatter.

Are Fear-Based Approaches Making Our Schools Less Safe? What if some of the things we're doing to make our schools safer are actually making them less safe? That's the uncomfortable question at the heart of my conversation with school safety expert Dr. David Riedman, creator of the K–12 School Shooting Database. As the mother of a six-year-old murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I have spent nearly 14 years thinking about school safety. And I've become convinced that we need to ask harder questions not just about how we respond when violence happens, but how we prevent a child from ever getting to the point of wanting to hurt themselves or someone else. David has spent years studying the data, and what he's finding challenges some of the conventional wisdom about school safety. Here's where our conversation gets really interesting. Have we become so focused on protecting kids from danger that we're unintentionally taking away some of the things that help protect them in the first place? Connection. Belonging. Community. Independence. Real-world relationships. David challenges the billions spent on hardening schools and asks whether some fear-based measures actually create unintended consequences. Even more concerning, he describes a disturbing new phenomenon he calls “influencer extremism,” where vulnerable young people who don't feel seen or valued in the real world can find recognition, belonging and even status in online communities that glorify violence. This conversation changed the way I think about school safety and I think it will challenge you, too. Because keeping our kids safe can't only be about locks, cameras, drills and what happens after a threat emerges. We have to look upstream. We have to create places where kids feel connected, valued, empowered and hopeful. And most importantly, we have to be willing to question what we're doing when the evidence tells us it isn't working. If you're a parent, educator, administrator or simply care about the future of our children, please listen to this conversation. School safety belongs to all of us, and we can all be part of the solution. Learn more About Scarlett here: https://chooselovemovement.org/

Reseeding Native Habitat with guest Sue Theriault, Vice President of the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society (RIWPS) Wild plant collectives across the Northeast are propagating native plants to restore native ecosystems with healthy genetic diversity. Insects, birds, and other local wildlife co-evolved with native plants and rely on them for survival. Many specialized insects need specific native plants to complete their life cycles. For example, Monarch butterfly larvae will only eat the leaves of milkweeds. Ecotypic seeds are especially important because they come from plants genetically adapted to the local soil, climate, and environmental conditions of an ecoregion. Conservation groups like the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society (RIWPS) use ecotypic seeds to repair damaged natural landscapes. Sue Theriault, Vice President of the RIWPS, shares her expertise in wild plants, ecosystem restoration, and ecotypic seeds. She joined RIWPS in 2018 as a retired middle school science teacher and leads its seed generation program called ReSeeding Rhode Island.

When He Says He'll Change: What Real Recovery From Porn Addiction Actually Looks Like With Sathiya Sam, Founder of DeepClean™ After discovering pornography, infidelity, or other secret sexual behavior, one of the hardest questions isn't simply Why did he do it? It's Can he actually change? He may swear he'll never do it again. Delete apps. Install filters. Start therapy. Hand over his phone. Go weeks or months without pornography. And you desperately want to believe that this time is different. But how can you tell the difference between someone who has stopped a behavior—for now—and someone who is actually changing? In this episode, Lora Cheadle sits down with Sathiya Sam, founder of DeepClean™, author of The Last Relapse, and host of The Man Within podcast, for a candid conversation about pornography addiction, betrayal, relapse, and what lasting recovery really requires. Drawing from his own 15-year struggle with pornography and his work helping men recover, Sathiya explains why pornography addiction is rarely solved by willpower, promises, shame, filters, or simply trying harder. Lasting change requires getting underneath the behavior to the emotional wounds, unmet needs, nervous-system patterns, beliefs, and identity that helped create the cycle in the first place. His current DeepClean approach likewise emphasizes addressing underlying emotional wounds, core beliefs, unmet needs, regulation, identity, and relationships rather than measuring success only by abstinence. Lora and Sathiya also address the question so many betrayed partners struggle with: What is my role in his recovery? Because supporting someone is not the same as recovering for them. You cannot love him enough, monitor him enough, become a "superwife," have more sex, make his life easier, or find the perfect words that will make him change. His recovery belongs to him. Your healing belongs to you. And perhaps most importantly, recovery doesn't have to mean returning to the relationship you had before. When someone genuinely addresses the roots of addiction, the goal isn't simply a man who no longer watches pornography. It's a man who knows himself better, regulates himself differently, communicates more honestly, takes responsibility for his needs and behavior, and begins showing up differently in his marriage and his life. Top 3 Takeaways Stopping the behavior is not the same as healing what created it. A promise to stop, an internet filter, accountability software, or a period of abstinence may change behavior without addressing its roots. Sathiya describes lasting recovery as developing self-awareness, healing underlying emotional wounds and unmet needs, and shifting identity—not merely becoming better at resisting pornography. Look for trends of transformation, not just streaks of abstinence. Instead of asking only, How many days has he been "clean"?, look at what is changing in the man. Can he name his emotions and needs? Regulate himself during difficult conversations? Talk about what he's uncovering without becoming immediately defensive? Take responsibility for his recovery? Communicate honestly about both struggles and progress? As Sathiya explains, a relapse does not automatically erase every bit of growth—and a long streak does not necessarily prove the underlying problem has healed. You can support his recovery, but you cannot do it for him. One of the most painful truths for a betrayed partner is that you cannot make someone want recovery more than they want it themselves. Your job is not to become his accountability partner or work harder for his healing than he does. Your work is getting your own support, processing your pain safely, establishing and upholding your boundaries, and paying attention to what his behavior—not merely his promises—is showing you. Favorite Quotes “He kind of has to want to change more than you want him to change for anything to actually change.” — Sathiya Sam “I would rather be 100% my true self and rejected than 80% my true self and accepted.” — Sathiya Sam “This is not about him not loving her. This is not about him not valuing the marriage or the relationship or their kids.” — Lora Cheadle About Sathiya Sam Sathiya Sam is the founder of DeepClean™, an author, international speaker, former university researcher and pastor, and host of The Man Within podcast. After his own long struggle with pornography, Sathiya developed a root-focused approach to helping men move beyond addictive behaviors by addressing emotional wounds, unmet needs, regulation, faith, relationships, and identity. His book, The Last Relapse, expands on the principles discussed in this episode, including why lasting freedom requires more than willpower or surface-level behavior modification.

From her early career as an animator to her work creating and illustrating children's books, sculpture, and arts programs for young people. Sue has dedicated her creative gifts to inspiring imagination and connection. Sue is also the founder of Armed with Arts and the Peace Crane Project, a global initiative that brings people together through the simple act of folding an origami crane and sharing a personal message of peace. What began with a question—What can artists do to make a difference?—has grown into an opportunity for children and adults around the world to connect across cultures, borders, and communities. In this inspiring conversation, Sue shares the story behind the Peace Crane Project, its connection to Sadako Sasaki and Hiroshima, and her journey to Japan to learn more about Sadako's life and legacy.  She also reflects on the power of creativity to help children develop confidence, empathy, curiosity, and a sense of connection to the larger world. At its heart, this conversation is a reminder that peace isn't something we simply wait for others to create. Each of us can use our own gifts, creativity, and connections to help bring about positive change. One crane. One connection. One person can help give peace wings.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #684 is an hour of visionary acoustic improv music recorded by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, ukuelele, acoustic guitar and dulcimer, Craig Harris on congas and Native drum and Bob Sherwood on piano. Recorded on a lush August afternoon at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today's show begins with the dreamy, sedate “All Life Unfolds”, a drifting, lovely thing led by Mariam's pretty stream-of-consciousness lyric and languid vocal. “So Many Veils” follows with a native flute fanfare from Mariam and evolves into a hushed, meditative piece and “Finding Our Power Deep Within” is a summer celebration led by Mariam's chiming ukulele draped on a bluesy piano bassline from Bob. Mariam continues strumming her ukulele for “It's Gonna Be All Right”, a simple folk song that quickly evolves in a lovely, minimalist prayer with entrance of Bob's beautiful piano motif and Craig's round, steady congas. Mariam picks up her dulcimer for the next two pieces, the gorgeous, detailed “Sea Of Love” and the ragaesque “We Are The Ancient Ones”. We finish today with the beautiful, melancholy “Dare To Dream In Your True Essence” featuring soaring, exotic double flute and evocative vocals from Mariam.

The Ledger with National Best Selling Author Steven Manchester Steven is the author of the soul-awakening novel The Menu as well as the 1980s nostalgia-series Bread Bags & Bullies and Lawn Darts & Lemonade. Other works include the #1 bestsellers Twelve Months, The Rockin' Chair, Pressed Pennies, and  Gooseberry Island; the national bestsellers Ashes, The Changing Season, and Three Shoeboxes; the multi-award winning novels Dad and Goodnight Brian; and the heartwarming Christmas movie The Thursday Night Club. His work has appeared on NBC's TODAY and CBS's The Early Show; and in Billboard and People magazines. Three of Steven's short stories were selected for “101 Best” for the Chicken Soup for the Soul  series. He is a multi-produced playwright as well as the winner of the 2017 Los Angeles Book Festival, 2018 New York Book Festival, 2020 New England Book Festival, and 2021 Paris Book Festival. http://www.stevenmanchester.com/ In Steve's words: After returning home from a difficult tour of duty in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, I stepped back behind the walls of a Massachusetts penitentiary where I battled each day as a prison investigator. Needless to say, there was great negativity in my life at that time, and very little opportunity to heal from my wartime demons (or pursue my dreams of being published). I finally decided to return to college to finish my degree in Criminal Justice. During one of the classes, my professor, Barry McKee, detailed police work, but barely touched on other topics. I finally raised his hand and asked, “As the criminal justice system is so vast, what about the courts, probation, parole – corrections?” Barry smiled and told me to see him after class. I thought I'd done it! In his office, Barry explained, “Except from the slanted perspectives of inmates, there's no real written material out there on corrections, or prisons.” Barry smiled again and then dropped the bomb that would change my life forever. “If you're so smart,” he said, “why don't you write it?” It was the last push I needed to get writing. Nine months later, I placed the first draft of 6-5; A Different Shade of Blue (under the pen name, Steven Herberts) on Barry's desk. From then on, I was hooked. I was a writer. The Ledger  Set in a medium-security penitentiary in the mid-1990s, The Ledger is a faith-based story that pulls back the curtain on prison life, allowing the reader an eye-opening tour behind the wall. Although told from three alternating perspectives—officer, inmate, and sergeant—many of the same questions are asked: Can light be found in the deepest darkness? What about forgiveness, redemption, and grace? If the code is clear, “loyalty above all things except honor,” when should an officer cross the blue line to police one of his own? Early readers are calling The Ledger impossible to put down, claiming that the unexpected twist at the end left them speechless… The Ledger is the long-awaited companion novel to The Menu. “The Ledger illuminates the dark world of Corrections, making it safe for all of us to steal a peek.” ~ Barry McKee, Professor Emeritus, Criminal Justice “I found myself holding my breath. It felt like I was right back inside the wall.” ~ Nelson Julius, Deputy Superintendent, DOC (ret.) “Intensely powerful and deeply moving, pick up a copy to balance your own ledger.” – Debby Guyette, Book Blogger, Single Titles “The Ledger is a spiritual read, drawing the reader inward.” – Reverend Andy Stinson, First Congregational Church of Fall River Call In and Chat with Deborah during Live Show: 833-220-1200 or 319-527-2638 Learn more about Deborah here:  www.lovebyintuition.com

Nicole Kranz: When Love Makes You Lose Yourself In this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Nicole Kranz. A little bit about Nicole's story from her: I lived many lives - across countries, cultures, heartbreaks, illness, and profound transformation. I'm also the author of This Is Bullsht, Not a Love Story*, a book born from my own experience of emotional abuse and my journey back to myself. I want to bring honesty, vulnerability, and hope to the audience, to remind people that even after losing yourself completely, you can reclaim your voice, your freedom, and your life. I'm not here as an expert with all the answers; I'm here as a woman who survived, healed, and chose to turn her pain into gratitude. Short Bio: Born Brazilian and raised in Geneva in a multicultural family, Nicole Kranz has always felt more stateless than tied to any single nationality. She has lived in Rio, New York, Paris, and Lisbon, among other places, and remains an endless traveler. A former coach, a self-taught writer, and the author of three books, she draws from a life shaped by movement, curiosity, and a deep fascination with human nature. Nicole is direct, instinctive, and unapologetically honest, someone who would rather ask difficult questions than offer easy answers. Her philosophy is simple: stay curious, embrace imperfection, and listen to life - it says it all.

The Hidden Human Cost of What We Wear Season 2, Episode 6 | That Part by 45 Lemons We asked the Black women in our lives a simple question: If you could talk about anything on a podcast, what would it be? Ngozi Okaro chose sustainable fashion as an anti-racist practice. What unfolds is a conversation about what our clothes say about us, and the people and systems we rarely see behind them. Verta, Naa, and Ngozi trace a line from cotton and enslaved labor to today's garment industry, exploring race, gender, exploitation, overproduction, and the often invisible labor behind what we wear.  But this isn't about becoming the perfect ethical shopper. It's also about creativity, personal style, buying what we love, keeping it longer, and making choices that better reflect our values, while recognizing that consumers alone cannot fix a systemic problem. Because getting dressed is personal. But the systems behind what we wear are anything but.

We Can Do Hard Things Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen Lewis, sit at the end of a dock in beautiful Maine for a powerful conversation about ‘Doing the Hard Things' and what it really means to face fear instead of running from it. They explore the power of feeling fear, listening to it, and then choosing to move through it. It's about triumphing over what holds us back, not only physically, but emotionally. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pause, take a brave breath, and stay in the present moment. That message is especially important as educators begin a new school year. Every day, despite the challenges they face, they show up for their students. The Choose Love Formula and Choice Moment Model teach us how to respond to difficult moments in a positive, productive way rather than from anxiety or worry. The latest neuroscience supports what we've been learning all along: resilience is built by moving through hard things, not avoiding them. Scarlett also reflects on a recent presentation at the National Homeland Security Conference, where the conversation around post-traumatic growth reinforced this powerful truth: we can grow through adversity, become stronger, and discover what we're capable of on the other side.

A Journey Toward Complete Forgiveness and Time's End. Welcome to a powerful Saturday Movie Session from "The Way" retreat. David Hoffmeister guides listeners on a journey toward Complete Forgiveness and Time's End. The episode begins with David exploring a specially edited Star Trek: Deep Space Nine parable, aptly titled "Time's End".

Listeners learn that the Holy Spirit uses these very roles and memories to teach contrast, unwinding the mind from its belief in linear time and guiding it back to the awareness of pure Spirit. Tune in to discover how to surrender your personal perspective, embrace true empathy, and open your heart to the miraculous joy of God's Love. "The Way" gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

How Do You Know If Your Unfaithful Partner Is Really Changing? --With Sam's Healing Podcast After infidelity, promises can sound reassuring—but how do you know whether your partner is actually changing? In this episode, Lora Cheadle talks with Sam from Sam's Healing Podcast about what real recovery looks like on the unfaithful side of betrayal. They explore why actions matter more than apologies, why the unfaithful partner needs to take initiative instead of waiting to be managed, and why becoming teachable, confrontable, and emotionally mature is essential for rebuilding trust. They also discuss communication tools like AVR—acknowledge, validate, reassure—along with self-regulation, co-regulation, childhood patterns, boundaries, and the difference between performing recovery and genuinely becoming someone new. Top 3 Takeaways Stop listening only to what they say. Watch what they do. Promises like “It will never happen again” have very little value if they are not backed by consistent behavior. Real change shows up between sessions: seeking help, reading, doing exercises, attending meetings when appropriate, learning new skills, telling the truth, following through, and taking initiative without being parented by the betrayed partner. The unfaithful partner goes first. The person who created the rupture has a responsibility to lead the repair. That means booking appointments, finding resources, doing the work, becoming teachable and open to correction, and learning how to respond to the betrayed partner's pain rather than becoming defensive or demanding that they “get over it.” Healing requires more than understanding why the affair happened. Childhood wounds and family-of-origin patterns matter, but insight alone does not automatically create empathy, emotional maturity, communication skills, or safety. Both partners eventually need to learn self-regulation and co-regulation, while the unfaithful partner demonstrates through consistent action that they are becoming someone capable of rebuilding trust. Favorite Quotes “Forget about what they're saying. Look at what they're doing.” —Sam “The only currency is action.” —Sam “There is a time where we as unfaithful stop saying what we will do. We just do it.” —Sam “You can't regulate yourself out of a toxic relationship.” —Lora Cheadle About Sam Sam's Healing Podcast is brought to you by one of Infidelity Recovery's most prominent and renowned influencers and YouTubers. For over 15 years Samuel has been one of the leading content generators for healing and recovery of both betrayed and unfaithful spouses.

Through his new podcast and most recent project, Ask the Unfaithful Podcast, Samuel continues to bring his own personal experiences with infidelity recovery along with delivering the most current and up-to-date clinical wisdom and healing modalities for recovery after an affair.  You can catch Lora's interview on Sam's Healing Podcast Here: https://youtu.be/FzIx6yiCxw4?si=H23oDpoQu5-_KWET  LOVE THE SHOW?

Andrea J. Medaris: Can Relationships Help Heal Trauma? In this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Andrea J. Medaris. A little bit about Andrea's story from her: I'm a couple therapist and treat many clients where one or both partners have a trauma history. Having done both individual and couple work around trauma, I've come to believe that couple therapy is one of the best ways to treat relational trauma (which most trauma is). Short Bio: Andrea J. Medaris, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist, certified supervisor in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Director of the Center for Relationships at Psychology Specialists of Maine, and President of EFT Maine. She has spent the past decade in clinical work with couples, particularly relationships shaped by trauma, disconnection, and recurring conflict. She writes The Emotional Logic, a newsletter making sense of love, conflict, and desire, and her first book, What You Wish For, argues that emotional security and passion aren't the tradeoff we've been told they are.

How Eight Days Of Hope Builds Safe Homes For Trafficking Survivors A doorknob that never turns in the night should be ordinary, but for many trafficking survivors it feels like a miracle. That single detail becomes a thread we keep pulling as we return to Retreat to Peace with a raw personal update and a conversation that doesn't let us look away from what's happening in our towns, our travel stops, and sometimes even our own families. I start by sharing my own testimony after multiple jaw surgeries and an exhausting recovery that brought pain, isolation, and a desperate 2:30 AM cry to God. I also share a terrifying spiritual moment that forced me to fight for peace in real time and how I later learned a friend was prompted to wake up at the exact same hour to pray for me. If you've ever wondered whether prayer matters when you feel helpless, this story will meet you right where you are. Then I'm joined by Steve Tybor, founder of Eight Days of Hope, a Christian disaster relief and rebuilding ministry that now also builds safe homes and healing campuses for women and children rescued from human trafficking. We talk honestly about why trafficking happens, how pornography and addiction fuel demand, how grooming works, and why most trafficking doesn't look like the movies. Steve shares practical warning signs to watch for, common red flags in places like hotels and “massage parlors,” and what a real path to survivor healing can require: safety, counseling, medical support, and long-term trauma-informed care. If this conversation stirs you, don't let it stop at awareness.

What If Your Senses Could Help You Heal, Reset, and Respond Differently? What if some of the most powerful tools for calming the nervous system and supporting healing are already with us every day—our senses? Scarlett Lewis welcomes Adora Winquist, known as the “Modern Alchemist,” for a fascinating conversation about the connection between our senses, emotions, the nervous system, and healing. Adora shares approaches she has used in her work with military members and their families, including those navigating the challenges of returning home from war and the effects of trauma. Together, Scarlett and Adora explore how sensory experiences—including scent—can help us pause, regulate our emotions, reconnect with ourselves, and create space between what happens to us and how we respond. They discuss Adora's Modern Alchemy approach, which blends ancient practices with modern understanding of well-being, as well as practical ways sensory tools can be incorporated into everyday life. For teachers, school leaders, counselors, parents, and anyone supporting young people, this conversation offers an intriguing perspective on creating calmer, more intentional environments while also caring for our own well-being. Ultimately, this episode is about discovering the everyday tools available to us for navigating stress, supporting healing, and strengthening our ability to make a Choice Moment—pausing before reacting so we can respond with greater awareness, compassion, and love.

How to Make Decisions After Infidelity When Every Choice Feels Wrong After betrayal, every decision can feel catastrophic. Stay or leave? Give more grace or set a harder boundary? Invest in support or save the money in case you need it later? When your brain is hyperalert, every possibility can begin to look like proof that one wrong choice will ruin your future. In this episode, Lora Cheadle explores why hypervigilance can disguise itself as careful decision-making—and why self-trust does not mean making perfect choices. Through the story of rebuilding her home after a devastating sewer explosion, along with her own experiences of choosing beauty, pleasure, and higher standards, Lora shows how recovery shifts when you stop trying to recreate the old or justify every choice and begin creating a life that genuinely reflects who you are now. Top 3 Takeaways Hypervigilance can make every possibility look like catastrophe. After betrayal, your brain is trying to protect you from ever being blindsided again. That can turn thoughtful decision-making into endless analysis, freezing, catastrophizing, and searching for guarantees that do not exist. Self-trust is not making the perfect decision. Self-trust means knowing that you can choose, experience what happens, gather more information, ask for help, reassess, change direction, and choose again. A decision that does not turn out perfectly is not proof that there is something wrong with you. Recovery is not about rebuilding the old life. Whether you stay, leave, remodel your marriage, or create something entirely new, the deeper question is what you want your life to feel like now. Higher standards are not perfectionism. They are a willingness to value truth, emotional safety, beauty, pleasure, self-respect, and a life that feels fully yours. Favorite Quotes “Familiar does not mean it's automatically right. Cheap does not mean it's automatically the wisest decision. Practical does not automatically mean it's aligned with who you are and where you're going.” “Beauty and loving yourself and loving your surroundings…is evidence that you've come back to life.” “Your decisions do not have to be perfect. You just need to trust yourself enough to manage your life.” LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #682 was recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington Massachusetts in mid-August of 2026 and is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played by the Gaea Star Band featuring Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, ukuleles, singing bowl and acoustic guitar, Bob Sherwood on piano and bass guitar and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Today's show begins with the beautiful, pastoral “Lift Up My Spirit”, a pretty, light song with a classical Neopolitan feel before we move to “Positive No Matter What”, a reverent, celestial prayer with a fine vocal from Mariam. “My Soul Has Wings” begins as a solemn, reverent psalm before lifting off to Dionysian abandon with powerful work from the band. “Singing The Same Song” is a rocking, New Orleans-flavored rocker with tight acoustic guitar rhythm guitar work from Mariam over Bob's barrelhouse piano and “River Of Love” comes from the “Gaea Star Crystal” album with the band taking it up yet another notch with this powerful rocker. “Into The Might Waves”, also from the “Release” album is a rich, complex anthem performed flawlessly by the band and “Celebrate Diversity” is a powerful, fundamental medicine song with a beautiful, jazzy refrain and a driving performance from the band propelled by Craig's powerful conga groove. “Aloha Hey” is a sunny Hawaiian reggae workout played drum-tight by the ensemble and closes today's show with a rollicking bang.

From Search & Rescue to Skincare: The Science of Cosmetic Acupuncture with Dr. Alexia Lindell  Before she was helping people look and feel their best, Dr. Alexia Lindell was a Coast Guard search and rescue coordinator — saving lives while quietly struggling with her own: insomnia, chronic fatigue, TMJ, acid reflux, and stress that wouldn't quit. Acupuncture changed that so profoundly, she left her military career to become one. Today, Dr. Lindell is the founder of Qi Society, a boutique acupuncture practice in Worcester, MA, and a Doctor of Acupuncture licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. In this episode, she breaks down what acupuncture actually is (and isn't), walks us through her specialty — cosmetic acupuncture, including how it works, what to expect, and how results build over time — and shares how she also uses acupuncture to support scar recovery, fertility, migraines, and nervous system regulation. Whether you're acupuncture-curious, chasing a more natural approach to aging well, or just trying to manage stress in a chaotic world, this conversation offers a grounded, practical look at what treatment really involves — and how to find a practitioner you can trust. In this episode: What acupuncture is and how it works in the body Common myths and misconceptions, debunked Cosmetic acupuncture: the process, what to expect, and realistic results over time How acupuncture supports scar healing, fertility, migraines, and stress What "nervous system regulation" actually means How to find a qualified, licensed practitioner Connect with Dr. Alexia Lindell & Qi Society: https://www.qisociety.com/ Worcester, MA @dr.alexialindell   Connect with Kristin:  Facebook: Kristin Aurelia Instagram: kristinaurelia210 Connect with She Wise Wellness: Website: https://www.shewisewellness.com/ Website: www.shewisepublications.com Email: shewisepublications@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_wise_publications/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094044723450 YouTube: SHE Wise @survivingthehumanexperience https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtYaqS-cL1WAFQKDadapxPQ
