Podcasts about surviving

This week's Hot Topics episode goes from reality TV chaos to full nightmare fuel REAL fast.We're discussing Surviving 16 & Pregnant, the horrifying Yogurt Shop Murders documentary, The Nightmare Upstairs, Euphoria somehow getting even more outrageous, and Welcome to Plathville continuing to be deeply uncomfortable television.SHOW LINEUP:Weekend Update

If you've been doing the work on your OCD or anxiety and you're no longer in crisis — that's real progress. But if you still feel like you're just 'managing' or waiting for the next episode to hit, this video is for you. Most people with OCD and anxiety move between Stage 1 (Surviving) and Stage 2 (Stabilizing) their whole lives — never realizing that Stages 3 and 4 even exist.In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW, breaks down the four real internal stages of recovery — not just symptom management, but the complete journey from surviving panic and fear loops all the way to a life of trust, expansion, and genuine freedom. He explains why settling at Stage 2 actually leads to relapse, and what the path from Stage 2 to Stage 4 looks like in practice.This isn't about toxic positivity or telling you recovery is easy. It's a clear, honest map of what real recovery looks like — and a challenge to stop settling for 'good enough' when you're capable of living free.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley Christopher. Interview Summary: Ashley Christopher on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Guest: Ashley ChristopherHost: Rushion McDonaldPlatform: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: HBCU access, scholarships, STEM pipeline, purpose-driven leadership Overall Summary Ashley Christopher shares the origin, growth, and impact of the HBCU Week Foundation, which she founded in 2017 to increase enrollment at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), remove financial barriers, and create direct pathways from high school to college and corporate America. What began as a local Wilmington, Delaware initiative evolved into a national movement that has facilitated over 10,000 on-the-spot HBCU acceptances and nearly $100 million in scholarships, including a landmark $40 million STEM scholarship partnership. The conversation blends entrepreneurship, education equity, resilience, faith, and purpose, highlighting how lived experience and authentic mission can scale social impact. Purpose of the Interview To spotlight the HBCU Week Foundation and its measurable outcomes (acceptances, scholarships, STEM investment). To educate families and students about on-the-spot college acceptance and scholarship opportunities. To inspire purpose-driven leadership, particularly among Black entrepreneurs and community leaders. To demonstrate how local solutions can scale nationally when rooted in authenticity and impact. To share a personal story of resilience, including surviving a stroke at age 29 and redefining purpose. Key Takeaways 1. Access Changes Outcomes HBCU Week’s on-the-spot acceptance model allows eligible students to receive immediate college decisions and scholarship offers at a live college fair. This removes prolonged uncertainty and barriers that often discourage first-generation and underserved students. Students bring their transcript, SAT/ACT scores, meet with an HBCU counselor, and can be accepted immediately. 2. HBCUs Are a Pipeline to Opportunity Ashley emphasizes that HBCUs are not just cultural institutions, but talent pipelines into corporate America, particularly for STEM fields. Enrollment growth and scholarship funding are as critical as brand awareness. 3. The Power of Strategic Partnerships A relationship that began with seven $40,000 STEM scholarships grew into a $40 million partnership with the American Chemistry Council. The goal: addressing a projected STEM workforce deficit while increasing diversity in the field. The partnership now supports 1,000 students committed to STEM majors at HBCUs, with nearly 600 awards already distributed. 4. Purpose Can Be Born From Crisis Ashley shares her experience of having a stroke at age 29, caused by birth control use, which required her to relearn how to write and regain physical mobility. The experience intensified her sense of urgency, discipline, and purpose. Surviving the stroke shifted her mindset from ambition to intentional impact. 5. Authentic Passion Fuels Scalable Impact Ashley never intended HBCU Week to become national—it was designed to serve students in her hometown. Growth occurred organically because the mission was authentic, focused, and student-centered. “When you love what you do and have a real passion behind the impact, it catches on.” Notable Quotes On Mission & Growth “The goal was to take care of the students in my hometown… I had no idea it would become national.” On On-the-Spot Acceptance “If you have the requisite GPA and SAT or ACT score, you can be admitted right there.” On HBCUs & STEM “If everybody around the table looks the same, we’re in trouble.” On Faith & Opportunity “I can’t take credit for it… but for my relationship with God, this wouldn’t be a thing.” On Purpose After Adversity “It created a different sense of drive and purpose in me.” On Impact “If I can’t help tier-one students, who can?” Conclusion The interview positions Ashley Christopher as a systems builder, not just a nonprofit founder. Her work demonstrates how education access, strategic partnerships, and lived experience can intersect to change thousands of lives. The conversation reinforces that scalable impact often starts with a local problem, clear values, and relentless execution. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of The Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation is heavy. But it's also one filled with honesty, tenderness, and hope. And if you've walked through grief, loss, trauma, suicide loss, dementia, or simply wondered where God is in the middle of unimaginable pain…I think this episode will meet you there.Today I'm joined by my friend Rachel Dawn. Rachel and I connected online years ago as fellow Ohio girls, eventually met in person at a ministry conference, and I still have the signed copy of her first book from back in my launch team days.And you guys…Her story is one that will stay with you.Rachel shares about surviving the loss of her brother to suicide in 2021 while she was only three weeks postpartum—all while slowly losing her father to dementia at the same time. Imagine:A newborn.Sleep deprivation.Traumatic grief.Public news coverage.FBI involvement.Dementia.And trying to breathe through all of it.It was simply…Too much for one person to carry.And honestly, one of the biggest takeaways from this conversation was hearing Rachel say:“It was too much for one person to hold at one time.”I think some of you need permission to hear that too.In this episode we talk about: -Surviving suicide loss -The complicated emotions of grief—especially anger and rage -Therapy after trauma and why seeking help matters -Walking through postpartum struggles while grieving -Losing someone slowly through dementia while mourning someone suddenly -Why grief heals in layers—not overnight -Learning to be gentle with yourself -The pressure to “be okay” too soonRachel also shares about her upcoming book that is tentatively titled, Reads Like Fiction, which is built from raw grief journals, motherhood journals, and years of healing.And I love reminding each of you that:You are healing… and you are healed.Both can be true.Friend—If grief has made you feel unseen…If trauma has convinced you healing is impossible…If you're angry…If you're tired…Please hear me:God is not rushed with your healing.And neither should you be.Listen now and share this episode with the person who needs to hear this message!Bio:Rachel Dawn met and married her “prince charming” young (as many small-town girls do), and embarked on an exciting life, certain she was destined for success and happiness.Then, it all fell apart.By 25, she found herself divorced, discouraged, disenchanted, and starting over. The lessons she learned during this time allowed her to rebuild her life, regain her confidence, and reignite her dreams. (You can read this whole story in her book, Now What: A Story of Broken Dreams and the God Who Restores Them).In 2021, she was promoted to mom. But, just three-and-a-half weeks later, her only brother died by suicide. She has spent the years since studying grief and the fallout that comes from such a traumatic loss. She writes and speaks with raw transparency and vulnerability, telling impactful stories from her own life. While reading or listening, it feels as if you're chatting one-on-one over coffee with a friend. Her journey and words have inspired countless others not only to persevere but also to heal and thrive through grief and grieving.Today, she has a wonderful husband, an adorable son, two accidental cats, and a mission to help others find hope and freedom after devastating pain.Anchor Verses:Psalm 34:18Psalm 147:3Connect with Rachel:Website: https://racheldawnwrites.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/racheldawnwrites/FB: https://www.facebook.com/racheldawnwrites***We love hearing from you!

Nick Reiner is being held without bail at Twin Towers Correctional Facility following his arrest in December 2025 in connection with the alleged killings of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, in their Brentwood home. He has pleaded not guilty. Reports now indicate he is allegedly planning a tell-all from inside the facility — one designed not to address the charges but reportedly to target his surviving family members.According to sources cited by Globe magazine, the reported book would name names and allegedly attempt to expose what Nick characterizes as family secrets. The legal implications of such a publication are significant. Any statements made by the defendant — in any format — could potentially be used by the prosecution. A tell-all that contradicts the defense's narrative or demonstrates calculated thinking could undermine an insanity defense strategy, which multiple observers have identified as the most likely approach given Nick's documented schizoaffective disorder diagnosis.The clinical picture complicates the legal analysis. Multiple sources describe Nick as delusional and almost childlike in custody, reportedly unable to process why he's incarcerated. Reports indicate he screams about his innocence at night. A medication change reportedly occurred approximately one month before the alleged killings. Whether the reported tell-all represents calculated retaliation or a manifestation of the underlying psychiatric condition is a question the defense will eventually have to address.His defense attorney has withdrawn from the case. Surviving siblings Jake and Romy have reportedly severed contact. Jake Reiner published a Substack essay describing his parents as guiding lights taken from him in the most violent way possible — a document that stands in stark opposition to what Nick reportedly intends to publish.Robin Dreeke applies FBI behavioral analysis to the question of whether someone presenting with Nick's reported symptoms could independently conceive and execute a publication strategy — or whether outside influence may be involved.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, childhood sexual abuse and Hollywood survivor, overcomer and - for the first time today - whistleblower, cat mama and animal lover, artist, painter, and creative, sports and nature lover, puzzle piecer, psychology aficionado, avid reader, survivor testimony podcast listener, and an incredible woman coming forward to share her testimony with those who need to hear it after decades of silence: LauraA little bit about Laura and what we will be discussing today: By the tender age of four, Laura already felt invisible, unimportant, swallowed by an internal darkness where memories dissolved into raw, wordless feelings. At eight, in a moment that shattered her world forever, her uncle broke into the bathroom and tried to molest her. His hands reached, but her terror saved her body—yet it stole her innocence. From that day forward, she lived petrified of every man, wrapped in constant anxiety, unable to sleep over at friends' houses. She gave her mother a hundred silent signs that something was devastatingly wrong, but her mother looked away. The rest of her childhood became a desperate game of dodging her uncle, a shadow she could never fully escape.Fragmented memories haunted her—like the dark basement where her uncle carried her, too big to be held, pacing back and forth while fear choked the air. She knew there was no true bond with her mother, yet she spent her entire life chasing the love and validation that would never arrive. At ten or eleven, her mother's cruel command—“Go put on some lipstick”—crushed her budding self-worth. Laura walked up those stairs forever changed, believing her own mother thought she was ugly without makeup. She became obsessed with lipstick, a desperate shield against the message that she was never enough. Her mother ensured she carried no self-esteem into the world.Yet even in the ark abyss, a still, small voice called to her. In March 2017, after twenty years in the New Age world, Laura cried out to God. A loving Presence met her instantly. She was delivered from the spirit of seduction in a single, miraculous moment—her first true spiritual awakening. It changed her forever. In September 2023, the strongest spiritual attack of her life hit: an intense, hours-long battle with suicidal thoughts and the devil himself. She fought for her life in the middle of the night, saying goodbye to her beloved cat, searching for fentanyl—yet she won. She sought a shaman for soul retrieval and reclaimed two precious fragments: her two-year-old self who had lost hope and faith, and her eight-year-old self who had lost her voice. Three profound sessions later, the pieces began to fit. The spiritual warfare intensified—the stronger she became, the harder the attacks and her mother's abuse raged. But Laura refused to break.Today, Laura stands as a living miracle. She is no longer the invisible child, the silenced scapegoat, the Hollywood prisoner, or the woman fighting demons in the dark. She is a warrior of light who has walked through hell and returned with fire in her veins. She has turned every betrayal, every ignored cry, every shattered fragment of self into fuel for something greater. As a survivor and fierce survivor advocate, Laura now speaks for every child who was never believed, every woman told to stay quiet, every soul told their pain was too much. She refuses to let her story stay buried so others can stay comfortable. Through her courage, she dismantles the very cycles that tried to destroy her—scapegoating, generational silence, spiritual warfare, and the lie that trauma defines you.Laura's life is living proof that darkness does not get the final word. From the bathtub terror at eight to the soul-retrieval victory in her 40's, she has walked through fire, emerged glowing, and now extends her hand to every other survivor still finding their way out. She is hope with lipstick on. She is the voice that was stolen and now roars. She is the proof that no matter how deep the pit, how cruel the family, how demonic the opposition, a woman anchored in God and in her own reclaimed truth can rise - radiant, unstoppable, and utterly awe-inspiring.Laura is not just a survivor.She is the revolution the world has been waiting for.And her story has only just begun.CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Actor and Hollywood stuntman Erik “All Day” Audé joins The Connect for one of the most intense stories ever told on the channel. In 2002, Erik was arrested in Pakistan after unknowingly being used as a drug mule and accused of attempting to smuggle narcotics through the airport. What followed was a nightmare: a death sentence, years inside one of Pakistan's most dangerous maximum-security prisons, brutal conditions, riots, violence, corruption, and the constant fear that he would be the next prisoner executed. Erik breaks down how he was deceived, what life on death row was really like, how he survived the prison system, and how he eventually fought his way back to freedom after proving his innocence. He also talks about his career as a stuntman, the importance of safety on film sets, and the lessons he learned from surviving the unimaginable. This is a story about betrayal, survival, faith, justice, and what it takes to keep fighting when the entire system is against you. Go Support Erik!

Send us Fan Mail“Have you ever shot someone?” Most cops will be asked this throughout their careers, including myself. Most cops go to retirement without having to take a life. Then others have been involved in multiple officer-involved shootings (OIS). Most of the time, there is no rhyme or reason to this. Although your chances of being involved in an OIS are much greater if you are actually doing police work and not hiding behind a desk for 25 years. Welcome back, everyone, to the conclusion of one of the most dramatic and impactful stories I have ever encountered since I started this podcast with Police Officer Michael Martinez of the San Diego Police Department. A little about Mike. Michael Martinez has been a police officer with the San Diego Police Department for about 10 years. After phase training, he was assigned to Southern Division, where he worked a variety of assignments, including Patrol, Acting Detective, and Field Training Officer. Officer Martinez has been involved in four Officer-Involved Shootings, the first three within his first 18 months after field training. He took advantage of a career-and life-changing opportunity that was offered to him by the San Diego Police Department's Wellness Unit. He was diagnosed with PTSD and now shares his story with fellow law enforcement officers. He is currently a member of the Department's OIS Peer Support Team and is currently assigned to the Department's Wellness Unit. Officer Martinez has received numerous awards and commendations, including a Medal for Valor. He truly believes his assignment is his calling to help others who are struggling in silence. His goal is to break the stigma of seeking and receiving help within the first responder profession and to be a resource to officers and their families.   I admire Mike's honesty and willingness to help other cops who have gone through the trauma of being in an OIS. Mike has been through the wringer and is now helping his fellow cops. Please enjoy this raw and powerful interview with Police Officer Mike Martinez.  In today's episode, we discuss:·      The second officer involved shooting. Has he gone back to where it happened?·      Did he react differently to this one compared to the first?·      The third officer involved in a shooting. Did any bosses or friends suggest that he take a break from the street? How was his drinking and family life?·      A breakdown of the third OIS.·      The wellness unit confronting him while he was drunk.·      His path towards a first responder-only treatment facility.·      His experience there: how long and what did that treatment look like?.·      Life after treatment.·      Being voluntold to be on the wellness unit.·      An overview of his fourth officer-involved shooting. ·      What was different about this one in how he dealt with it?·      Was there ever a time when he thought perhaps he was in the wrong line of work and should get out while he was still in one piece?·      His advice to someone who is going through a tough patch in their police career.·      How can someone prepare for a career in LE? Check out my newest book!

187 Surviving with Laughter: Angela Nissel Talks Hospice and Healing Host Marie Betcher, a former hospice nurse, interviews writer and memoirist Angela Nissel about her book "Good Grief: Pass the Bread, Mom is Dead" and her mother's end-of-life journey. Angela describes a complicated, achievement-focused relationship with her RN mother, who hid advanced breast cancer and feared judgment for "giving up." Angela brought her to Los Angeles, expecting more treatment, but a doctor recommended hospice; her mother felt relief and was on hospice about six weeks. Angela shares what caregiving taught her, including learning to "just be her daughter," navigating pain medication fears, misconceptions that hospice hastens death, a brief end-of-life rally, and the value of dignity, trust-building, and services like 24/7 care and music therapy.

In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori talks with Katt Johnston, a mental health professional, educator, and content creator focused on family estrangement, emotional systems, and the impact of mental health culture on relationships. Kat shares her journey of becoming a leading voice in estrangement after a viral TikTok video, and dives deep into how therapy and societal trends can sometimes harm family relationships by over-validating discomfort rather than building resilience. Topics discussed: Nuances between genuine and manufactured discomfort leading to estrangement The devastating effects of parental alienation in stepfamilies The roles validation and social media play in conflict Advice for estranged parents and stepparents on how to cope, maintain boundaries, and support each other. The importance of pre-planning for blended family events Handling unequal treatment The need for better mental health ethics and court education on alienation. Listeners will gain insights on the importance of self-care for estranged parents, strategies to avoid further damage to family relationships, and how society and therapy culture may need to shift towards more balanced support and accountability. The episode concludes with information on Katt's coalition for ethical mental health standards and a reminder that stepfamily life, while challenging, can still be good when you nacho.

Part two of our conversation with the Rancic’s is all about their relationship and how they make it work with the world watching. Sure, they survived 8 seasons of their reality show, Giuliana & Bill, but a lot has happened since the cameras went away nearly 10 years ago. The couple talks about how they make it work: Bill’s good on the business end, but it’s Giuliana’s curiosity that shapes much of what they talk about in their new podcast, including, why her happy place (T.J. Maxx) makes her poop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley Christopher. Interview Summary: Ashley Christopher on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Guest: Ashley ChristopherHost: Rushion McDonaldPlatform: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: HBCU access, scholarships, STEM pipeline, purpose-driven leadership Overall Summary Ashley Christopher shares the origin, growth, and impact of the HBCU Week Foundation, which she founded in 2017 to increase enrollment at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), remove financial barriers, and create direct pathways from high school to college and corporate America. What began as a local Wilmington, Delaware initiative evolved into a national movement that has facilitated over 10,000 on-the-spot HBCU acceptances and nearly $100 million in scholarships, including a landmark $40 million STEM scholarship partnership. The conversation blends entrepreneurship, education equity, resilience, faith, and purpose, highlighting how lived experience and authentic mission can scale social impact. Purpose of the Interview To spotlight the HBCU Week Foundation and its measurable outcomes (acceptances, scholarships, STEM investment). To educate families and students about on-the-spot college acceptance and scholarship opportunities. To inspire purpose-driven leadership, particularly among Black entrepreneurs and community leaders. To demonstrate how local solutions can scale nationally when rooted in authenticity and impact. To share a personal story of resilience, including surviving a stroke at age 29 and redefining purpose. Key Takeaways 1. Access Changes Outcomes HBCU Week’s on-the-spot acceptance model allows eligible students to receive immediate college decisions and scholarship offers at a live college fair. This removes prolonged uncertainty and barriers that often discourage first-generation and underserved students. Students bring their transcript, SAT/ACT scores, meet with an HBCU counselor, and can be accepted immediately. 2. HBCUs Are a Pipeline to Opportunity Ashley emphasizes that HBCUs are not just cultural institutions, but talent pipelines into corporate America, particularly for STEM fields. Enrollment growth and scholarship funding are as critical as brand awareness. 3. The Power of Strategic Partnerships A relationship that began with seven $40,000 STEM scholarships grew into a $40 million partnership with the American Chemistry Council. The goal: addressing a projected STEM workforce deficit while increasing diversity in the field. The partnership now supports 1,000 students committed to STEM majors at HBCUs, with nearly 600 awards already distributed. 4. Purpose Can Be Born From Crisis Ashley shares her experience of having a stroke at age 29, caused by birth control use, which required her to relearn how to write and regain physical mobility. The experience intensified her sense of urgency, discipline, and purpose. Surviving the stroke shifted her mindset from ambition to intentional impact. 5. Authentic Passion Fuels Scalable Impact Ashley never intended HBCU Week to become national—it was designed to serve students in her hometown. Growth occurred organically because the mission was authentic, focused, and student-centered. “When you love what you do and have a real passion behind the impact, it catches on.” Notable Quotes On Mission & Growth “The goal was to take care of the students in my hometown… I had no idea it would become national.” On On-the-Spot Acceptance “If you have the requisite GPA and SAT or ACT score, you can be admitted right there.” On HBCUs & STEM “If everybody around the table looks the same, we’re in trouble.” On Faith & Opportunity “I can’t take credit for it… but for my relationship with God, this wouldn’t be a thing.” On Purpose After Adversity “It created a different sense of drive and purpose in me.” On Impact “If I can’t help tier-one students, who can?” Conclusion The interview positions Ashley Christopher as a systems builder, not just a nonprofit founder. Her work demonstrates how education access, strategic partnerships, and lived experience can intersect to change thousands of lives. The conversation reinforces that scalable impact often starts with a local problem, clear values, and relentless execution. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://teachhoops.com/ Show Notes Episode Title: What Would Change If Your Coaching Had a Weekly System Instead of Weekly Stress? Episode Summary Most coaches don't lack effort — they lack time. And when time is tight, coaching becomes reactive: Sunday-night panic, blank practice plans, chasing problems with random drills, and feeling behind. In this episode, Coach Collins explains what TeachHoops really is: not “one more drill,” not a video pile — a weekly coaching system that helps you coach with clarity, purpose, and confidence. The Big Problem This Solves Coaches are trying to solve program problems with single-drill solutions. That leads to over-talking, overcomplicating, and repeating last year's plan because it feels safe. TeachHoops exists to give coaches the blueprint — so you stop guessing and start running a plan. What Coaches Actually Need (The Real Questions) This episode focuses on the questions that keep coaches up at night: What are we doing this week? What are we emphasizing? How do I build practices with purpose? How do I teach defense so kids understand it? How do I install offense without overload? How do I fix late-game mistakes and win close games? How do I get buy-in and build consistency? How do I handle roles, leadership, and communication? 3 Real Ways Coaches Use TeachHoops 1) Practice Planning With Purpose TeachHoops helps coaches build practices that flow and teach: warm-up with intention skill blocks tied to identity competitive segments that build habits special situations that win close games strong finishes that create toughness 2) Problem Solving Without Guessing Every team has leaks: turnovers, rebounding, rotations, ball screens, press break, zone offense, shot selection, free throws, late-game execution. TeachHoops is built so you can: identify the leak grab the right tool install it rep it see it show up in games 3) Culture + Communication X's and O's don't matter if your locker room is leaking. TeachHoops includes tools for: accountability without losing players role clarity (less drama, more confidence) parent communication without getting dragged into chaos leadership development so you're not carrying everything Who TeachHoops Is For Coaches who want to coach better without coaching longer Coaches who want practical tools they can run tomorrow Coaches who feel reactive and want a weekly system Coaches who want to lead with clarity, not survive with stress Key Takeaways More effort isn't the answer — a system is Random drills don't fix program issues — clarity does The best coaches don't just coach hard — they coach specific Good practice plans reduce over-talking and increase learning Organization creates confidence for both coaches and players Reflection Questions (For Coaches) Did I feel organized the last two weeks… or reactive? Do my practices have a clear purpose and flow? Am I teaching with clarity… or talking more because I'm unsure? If I could fix ONE leak this week, what would it be?

Heart disease in women is their number one killer — and most of us still don't know the signs.We've spent years worrying about the right things: the screenings, the genetics, the family history we carry quietly into every doctor's appointment. But women's heart health looks different than we've been taught. The symptoms are more subtle. The risk factors include ones nobody warned us about — like menopause, estrogen loss, and the emotional suppression when we carry our loved one's pain..My guest today, Victoria Gustafson — certified heart-centered life coach and speaker — knows this firsthand. In 2024, Victoria suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on a pickleball court. A bystander performed CPR and kept her alive until paramedics arrived. She is among the 1% of cardiac arrest survivors who walk away without brain damage. And she is here, sharing the wisdom that could genuinely change — or save — your life.This is not a scary episode. It's an empowering one.Why a healthy, active woman's heart stopped without warning — and how the split-second decisions by bystanders brought Victoria backThe difference between cardiac arrest vs. heart attack — and why understanding it is essential to how you advocate for yourself as a womanWhy heart disease in women so often goes undetected, and how women's symptoms can be more subtle and often get dismissed by the medical systemThe connection between menopause and heart health, and the critical role estrogen plays in protecting your cardiovascular systemWhy it's important to get a baseline heart testing work up — and the benefits of asking for a Holter monitor, an advanced lipid panel, or a coronary artery calcium scanHow body awareness and somatic healing connect to heart health — and what the body's whispers and nudges might be telling youThe link between people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and the physical body — and why the caretaking and peacekeeping so many of us do lives somewhere we can't seeWhat nervous system regulation has to do with how we protect ourselves — physically, emotionally, and spirituallyThe biggest takeaway from our conversation. Warning: it might make you feel lighter when you learn what it is.Your heart has been carrying so much. It's time to listen to the flutter, the fatigue, or the sense that something might be off.With love and freedom, LaurieLinks to heart related episodes mentioned:How Safe Hormone Therapy and Vaginal Health can Close the Bedroom Gap with Dr. Maria SophoclesIs Hormone Therapy Safe?

In this episode, Jeff Malec sits down with Dr. Patrick Welton to trace his remarkable path from Wisconsin kid to Stanford oncologist to veteran futures trader and founder of Welton Investment Partners. Patrick shares how trading pork bellies and interest rate futures in the late 1970s to pay tuition evolved into a decades-long career shaped by mentors at Commodities Corp, relationships with legends like Paul Tudor Jones and John Henry, and a unique “outside inside trader” role that let him keep practicing medicine at Stanford while managing money. He explains how his medical background and scientific training influence his approach to risk, uncertainty, and decision-making, and breaks down Welton's strategy mix across trend following, macro, short-term flow trading, and equity selloff protection. Along the way, Patrick and Jeff dig into the myths around trend following “dying,” why diversification and staying power matter more than narratives, how capital flows really drive short-term moves, and what it takes to survive for 30+ years in a business where most firms disappear.

In this episode, host Don Adeesha sits down with Naren Arulrajah, CEO of Ekwa Marketing, to confront the biggest shift in local healthcare marketing in a decade. AI is now answering patient questions directly on the search page, the click is disappearing, and the old SEO playbook of rank-click-book is officially dead for aesthetic practice owners. Naren breaks down the financial reality of zero-click search, why Google Ads cost 5 to 10 times more than organic traffic, and why only the top 3-5% of practices get free traffic in any given market. He explains AI Overviews, AI Mode, and CRUX, while warning that AI-written healthcare content will get your site blacklisted from Google rankings entirely. The episode closes with Naren's framework for owning your patient pipeline: rank for 100+ keywords on page one, build E-E-A-T through credentialed provider bios, capture paragraph love-letter reviews at peak patient happiness, and demand proof, not promises, from your marketing firm. The practices that move into the top tier now will be the ones standing when the market sorts itself out.

“Behind every heroic firefighter, there is a man that has many, many different lives that we should be honoring also.” – Eileen Bellew, FDNY widowWe welcome Eileen Bellew, author of After John Jumped, for a deeply moving conversation about surviving profound loss, mothering through grief, and finding hope after tragedy. Eileen recounts the heartbreaking events of January 23, 2005, known as Black Sunday, when her husband John, a dedicated FDNY firefighter, lost his life in the line of duty. She shares the agonizing hours of uncertainty, the moment she said goodbye, and the challenges of facing unimaginable PTSD with four young children.Navigating grief in the public eye, Eileen describes trying to protect her children's innocence amidst intense media scrutiny, endless ceremonies, and the ongoing pain of public memorials. She discusses the multi-layered aspects of widowhood—how it altered her very identity, changed her approach to motherhood, and left her grappling with PTSD, anxiety, and the daunting question: “How do I rebuild?”Key takeaways from this episode:There is no right way to handle tragedy or grief—every decision is raw and personal.Support often means simply sitting in the muck with someone, rather than trying to “fix” their pain.The loss of a spouse can mean losing parts of yourself, but over time healing and resilience do grow—even if it takes years.Remarriage is not a replacement but a new chapter. You can love again while holding your lost loved one close.Eileen's journey is also chronicled in her memoir, which began as a legacy for her kids and grew into a beacon for others facing similar paths.Learn more about Eileen Bellew, her book, After John Jumped, and the upcoming Black Sunday movie at eileenbellew.com.Get the "Who Am I Now?"

In this episode of the Twiniversity Podcast, Natalie talks with Christy-Faith, homeschool advocate, author of Homeschool Rising, education expert, and twin mom, about home-based learning, school-aged twins, and why homeschooling looks very different today than it did a generation ago. Christy-Faith shares her own path to motherhood, including secondary infertility, IVF, fraternal twin girls, a surprise fourth baby, and the hard reality of parenting twins through the early years. She also opens up about her professional background in education, including running a learning intervention and tutoring center in Los Angeles before eventually choosing home education for her own family. Natalie and Christy-Faith talk honestly about the fears many parents have around homeschooling - socialization, academics, family support, whether it is “too weird,” and whether parents are qualified to do it. Christy explains why she prefers the term home-based education, because modern homeschooling can include co-ops, live online classes, outside teachers, homeschool pods, interest-led learning, and a strong community. The conversation also explores what happens when school is not working for your child. Natalie shares her own regrets about not exploring more flexible school options when her twins were younger, including the feeling that her kids were on a “runaway horse” in a system that did not always fit who they were. This episode is a validating and thought-provoking conversation for twin parents who are questioning the traditional school path, wondering what options exist, or simply wanting permission to ask: Is there another way to educate my kids?

Kenneth Knott didn't set out to become a landman. His engineering plans got derailed by the 1985 downturn, a friend pulled him into petroleum land management at UL Lafayette, and an ARCO internship hooked him for life. Thirty-nine years later, he just wrapped up a career that included over 25 years at SM Energy, billions in transactions, and a leadership style that kept landmen with him for decades.Brent sits down with Kenneth for a Legacy Series conversation on what longevity in land actually requires. They cover surviving downturns, building team cultures where servant leadership is lived, not just talked, the mentors who shaped him, what separates good landmen from great ones, and his honest take on what AI means for the next generation of land professionals.Key Topics & Timestamps00:45 - Episode & Guest Intro03:10 - How Kenneth Became A Landman07:44 - Surviving Downturns And Longevity10:25 - Leadership Culture And Team Building17:13 - Big Lessons, Deals, and Mentors29:31 - The Mentors Behind Kenneth Knott38:19 - What Makes A Great Landman49:06 - Retirement Reflections And Next GenMemorable Quotes"Our goal is not to make you one of the best landmen. Our goal is to make you one of the best oil and gas professionals." — KennethKey TakeawaysServant leadership has to be lived, not just talked. Talking about servant values doesn't move the needle. Build the culture by aligning every hire on values, treating mistakes as lessons, and making the person next to you better every day.Control what you can, accept what you can't, and keep grinding. Surviving downturns in land work isn't about predicting cycles. It's about your work ethic, your willingness to do what others won't, and your focus on what's actually in your hands.Hire for values first, skills second. SM Energy's culture didn't happen by accident. Recruiting was deliberate about finding people who shared the values, because alignment is what lets you have hard conversations when things get rough.Aim to build great oil and gas professionals, not just great landmen. The best landmen understand the breadth of the business. Get curious in engineering, accounting, and marketing meetings. Over the long run, that's what separates the great from the merely competent.Internal networking beats external networking for deal-making. Knowing who to call inside your own company turns regular deals into great ones. The dumb question to a counterpart in another department is often the difference between a clean close and a problem nobody saw coming.AI is a force multiplier, but it can't replace technical foundation. The next generation of landmen has speed, curiosity, and access to tools landmen never had. The risk is taking AI output at face value without the technical baseline to QC it.About Our GuestKenneth Knott is a 39-year veteran of the oil and gas land business and the recently retired Vice President of Land and Business Development at SM Energy, where he spent more than 25 years. He started his career at ARCO and Vastar before joining SM Energy (formerly St. Mary Land & Exploration), and oversaw billions in transactions, including SM's repositioning out of the Rockies and into the Permian Basin with the QStar, Rock Oil, and Laredo acquisitions. Known industry-wide as "KK," he built a reputation for cultivating long-tenured land teams through a servant-leadership culture rooted in Louisiana grit and decades of field experience.Help us improve our podcast!

Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage, Superman and Lois) joins us this week for a deeply honest conversation about the loss, anxiety, and identity shifts that nobody saw from the outside. Emmanuelle opens up about both of her parents passing, the grounded calm that hides a more anxious interior, and the brutal stretch on Superman and Lois when her manager and dear friend took his life and she didn't know if she could keep going.

The Brothers Comatose join Andy for one of the wildest hangs yet, from sleeping in the woods after a tree branch punctured an eyeball, to puking mid-set at punk bars in San Francisco, to surviving the Bandwagon death trap on tour. The crew talks bluegrass revival, viral success with "Harvest Moon," touring with kids, Appalachia ghost stories, Mexico surf life, social media strategy, and how they somehow still like each other after years of living in vans together. Plus: ninja-star karate instructors, BYOB Pennsylvania strip clubs, Sawtooth Festival chaos, and why hiring a Gen Z mandolin player might've saved the band online. This one feels like sitting backstage at 2AM with a cooler full of PBR.

From Door-to-Door Hustle to Scaling Two Companies: Troy Thompson on Sales, VAs, and PresenceSerial entrepreneur Troy Thompson shares how early hustles like door-to-door lemonade and selling books with Southwestern shaped his mindset around rejection, self-talk, social proof, and incentives. He discusses replacing football ambitions after injuries with sales-driven personal development, and why consistency is a daily grind—highlighting habits like writing goals down and locking away his phone to stay present with family. Troy explains his philosophy that money equals freedom, explores the tension between ambition and contentment, and describes running Pinnacle Insurance and STEL, a Pakistan-based virtual assistant company with 250 employees. He covers VA objections (trust, workload, cost), the value of delegating low-value tasks to focus on revenue, lessons from a multi-year insurance “hard market,” and his approach to parenting: delaying phones, emphasizing face-to-face skills, and viewing college as optional.00:00 Entrepreneur Origins00:31 Lemonade Stand Hustle01:06 Southwestern Sales Bootcamp02:11 Finding Housing Door to Door04:17 Is It a Scam06:22 Cold Door Sales Psychology10:19 Rejection and Self Talk13:32 Sports to Self Development15:31 Habits Writing and Phone Lockbox18:56 Money Freedom and Adventure21:02 Contentment Versus Ambition23:56 Goals EOS and Scaling25:05 Alcohol Boundaries and Sobriety28:09 Quitting Drinking for Dreams28:44 Avoiding the Middle Ground29:44 Parenting by Example30:26 Time as the Metric32:16 Building Teams and Culture35:06 Surviving the Hard Market37:24 Customer Care That Retains38:45 Raising Kids in Tech Era42:28 Parting Advice on Connection43:23 Saal Virtual Assistants Explained46:39 Delegation and Trust Objections51:16 Scaling Stories and Buyback Time54:51 Creator Workflow and Quality58:39 Closing Thoughts and Wrap

Spring rush is here, and for contractors, that means long days, packed schedules, stress, and growth opportunities all happening at once. In this episode, Mike sits down with Naylor Taliaferro to talk about how he's learned to handle the chaos of spring over the years. They dive into early mistakes, burnout, scheduling problems, hiring struggles, and the systems that helped Naylor evolve from overwhelmed operator to intentional business owner.

Denise Z. Davidson joins Jana Byars to talk about Surviving Revolution: Bourgeois Lives and Letters (Cornell UP, 2025). The book explores how two wealthy and well-connected families with roots in Lyon responded to the French Revolution and the resulting transformations. In building a new political system based on liberty, equality, and fraternity, the French Revolution encouraged both individuals and families to recognize their power to shape the world through political action, rethink their strategies in negotiating intimate relations and family life, and assess both terrifying new risks and enticing opportunities for advancement. Denise Z. Davidson traces two families' trajectories and weaves together the strategies they employed to survive and hopefully thrive in the decades that followed the Revolution. Their private correspondence shows that affect and interest, intimacy and property, are mutually constitutive, and cannot be "thought" separately. Her analysis reveals what it meant to be bourgeois, how gender played a role in the formation of class identities, and how family and emotional life overlapped with other arenas. These social and cultural themes are woven into the narrative through the stories told in the families' letters. By viewing dramatic historical events through the eyes of people who lived through them, Surviving Revolution illuminates how the practices of everyday life shaped emerging notions of bourgeois identity.

Mark is then joined by Brad Young, 97.1 FM Talk's Legal Analyst and a Partner with Harris, Dowell, Fisher and Young.

What do the 2000 dot-com crash, the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, and the 2022 interest rate shock have in common? They wiped many multifamily operators out. Dwight Dunton survived all three. As founder and CEO of Bonaventure, Dwight and his team are responsible for $2.8 billion in assets under management (AUM). But Dwight didn't start a fund, raise capital, and figure it out as he went. He learned to grow and protect his own money first. At just 25 years old, while his peers chased flashy internet stocks, Dwight acquired a 378-unit apartment community. He was stepping into a struggling asset that demanded sizable improvements and millions in repairs, but this experience provided a crash course in operations, value-add investing, and asset management. Dwight says to become an old, rich investor, you've got to 1. get old and 2. not get wiped out along the way. So, he focuses on “asymmetric” investing opportunities that have capped downside but plenty of upside for good operators. Then, he further de-risks these assets by insourcing the things most operators would outsource.   In today's conversation, we discuss all of this—the power of vertical integration, protecting assets and capital through downturns, and why long-term, buy-and-hold investing remains the surest path to generational wealth. Insights from today's episode: - How Dwight protects his assets and capital with “anti-wipeout” investing - The keys to building a business that can survive any “Black Swan” event - Acquiring and managing a 378-unit apartment community at 25 years old - How to dramatically improve revenue with vertical integration - Why supply constraint, not job growth, is the surprising main driver of multifamily success — Connect with Dwight on LinkedIn   Bonaventure   Internet Subway   Vest Residential Recommended Resources: - Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Maya Tiwari reflects on a recent journey through South India, using the experience to discuss humanity's shift away from a restrictive "3D Matrix" toward a higher "5D frequency." She describes a massive cosmic upgrade to the human operating system, facilitated by galactic forces, which allows humanity to shed dualistic thinking, reclaim its sacred design, and step into a unified, enlightened state of consciousness.Key Talking Points & Themes1. Breaking Free from the Matrix and DualismThe "Matrix Weave": Tiwari describes the current societal system as an iron-clad matrix of darkness, rules, and divisionism that keeps the human mind ensnared.The Illusion of Separation: She opens up about her own recent internal struggles, realizing how dualistic thinking ("us vs. them") and the hidden ego can stunt our natural creative gifts, causing disease, decline, and despair.Surviving on "Smithereens": Despite these distortions, humanity has miraculously retained its sanity and created beauty, art, and joy from mere fragments of our original sacred design.2. Cosmic Recalibration via the Central SunSolar Transmissions: The Central Sun is rapidly increasing its solar output, sending heightened energetic frequencies, electromagnetic patterns, and adaptive radiation to Earth.Nervous System Upgrade: This influx of energy is actively altering human biology and emotion, forcing the nervous system to recalibrate, the heart portal to open, and the mind to unlearn false information.3. The Galactic Alliance and the 5D Operating SystemA Universal Effort: Highly advanced, enlightened universal forces—including the Galactic Federation of Light, Arcturians, Pleiadians, Andromedians, Sirians, and Lymans—have aligned to orchestrate this transition.Carbon to Light: At great peril to themselves, these forces are delivering a tech-vibrational upgrade to humanity's internal operating system, transitioning humans from carbon-based matrix prisoners to liberated, 5D Light Beings.4. Reclaiming the Role of the "Sorcerer"Tiwari urges individuals to move beyond being mere scholars of life and instead become sorcerers and magicians.For the first time in 26,000 years, humans are "frequency-armed" and capable of consciously weaving their own magical tapestries of grace, beauty, and compassion.Action Items & Practices for AscensionTiwari notes that this spiritual birthing process is "messy and gory," requiring deep commitment rather than tedium. To successfully anchor this new luminous operating system, she recommends the following daily practices:Vacuum the Mind: Actively clear away 3D mental clutter and detritus.The Violet Flame: Visualize a violet flame cleansing the container of the mind.Mindful Breathing: Maintain conscious awareness of your breath throughout the day.Share Vulnerability: Reach out to those who are lost and share personal struggles and clearing methods to help them feel less isolated.Simplify Meals: Align dietary choices with high-frequency light by practicing compassion and abstaining from eating animals.Contemplate and Bow: Create dedicated daily space for meditation, contemplation, and honoring the Divine Light.Final Takeaway: “We are the magician, the magic and the magical tapestry all woven into the One... Let us invite and embody this higher frequency and together strive to be the light to those struggling to find their way in darkness.”Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

On this episode of Jrodconcerts, we sit down with acclaimed Americana and Country singer-songwriter Jade Jackson. Known for her unfiltered storytelling and deeply evocative vocals, Jade joins the show for a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the realities of the creative life, the grind of the road, and the profound moments of resilience that completely reshaped her artistry. We dive deep into her journey, exploring the jarring shift from the adrenaline of late-night post-show routines back to the mundane reality of everyday errands. Jade opens up about how her early days waitressing and meeting people from all walks of life directly fueled the vivid imagination that drives her songwriting today. She also shares what it was like growing up with limited technology in her home, and how that forced isolation ultimately helped her cultivate her unique creative voice. As the conversation unfolds, Jade pulls back the curtain on her daily writing discipline, how she navigates the ebb and flow of the creative process, and why she believes accepting that not every song is a masterpiece is crucial for an artist's growth. She also discusses the ultimate challenge for any creator in a fast-paced environment: how she manages to protect her sense of small-town wonder amidst the noise of the Nashville music scene. Most importantly, Jade shares the incredibly vulnerable story of a severe back injury that almost derailed her life completely. She reveals how moving through that trauma ultimately gave her a powerful new purpose and an unbreakable mindset moving forward. Plus, we explore her deep musical kinship with Aubrie Sellers, what she hopes her ultimate musical legacy will be decades from now, and we feature her song, "Daddy Tried." This is an incredibly inspiring, grounding conversation about staying true to your art and surviving the odds.

When life unexpectedly falls apart, our natural instinct is usually to isolate ourselves, pretend everything is fine, or completely run away. However, buying into "toxic independence" and faking it until you make it will only make your unseen pain worse. In this video, we explore why hitting rock bottom requires us to stop running and start being brutally honest about our exhaustion and grief. If you are feeling completely overwhelmed by your circumstances right now, here is how to actually survive and begin to heal.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Edith Eger was only 16 years old when the Nazis invaded Hungary during World War II. Her future was ripped from her when she and her family were imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp. Edith's parents were sent to the gas chambers immediately – but Edith survived, forced to entertain Dr Mengele – known as the Angel of Death – until she survived the death march. For many years after, Edith struggled with her past, rife with horror and trauma. It was only after reading Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning that Edith stopped running from her trauma and faced it head on. When we interviewed her, Dr. Edith Eger was a 93-year-old clinician, speaker and author who is so full of wisdom and light, we could've done ten episodes with her. She passed away on April 27th, 2026, but her light, her words, and her impact will live on forever. You can buy Dr. Eger's book, “The Gift,” from our Bookshop.org storefront or wherever you like to shop books. Watch us on YouTube here! Get this episode ad-free here!
