Healing Inner Child Trauma with Jen PetersIn this deeply moving episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we welcome Jen Peters, a visionary healer, expert on inner child trauma healing, and author of Coming Home. Jen's journey from abandonment, trauma, and toxic relationships to profound healing and self-discovery is nothing short of inspiring.Feeling abandoned by her mother who gave her up for adoption, Jen internalized that pain and abandoned herself. Desperate for love and acceptance, she found herself in a cycle of toxic relationships and turned to drugs as a form of self-medication. Her transformation began when she discovered an inner child healer who guided her through the process of deep healing, allowing her to become a confident, capable, and loving person.Now, as an inner child healer herself, Jen has found that nearly every issue an adult faces stems from childhood experiences and the beliefs formed during that time. In this episode, she shares:✅ How childhood wounds shape our beliefs and behaviors✅ The unconscious mind's role in storing trauma and how to access hidden wounds✅ Overcoming self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and codependency✅ The power of inner child healing to create lasting transformation✅ Practical tools for deep yet gentle healing✅ Why healing is absolutely possible for everyoneNo matter what challenges you've faced, healing is possible. By using the right tools, we can reprogram limiting beliefs, break free from past wounds, and step into a life of love and self-acceptance.Connect with Jen Peters:Instagram: @jenpeters_soulguide_healerThank you for supporting Linda's Corner!

When he was eight years old his father, Allen, disappeared. Allen left behind more than his children; he left a legacy of loss and family secrets. He was soon replaced by another man, one with his own four children, whose strict rules and explosive temper made home a place of fear rather than refuge.Though working just miles away as a veterinarian, Allen never saw Steven or his siblings until a grisly car accident a decade later forced a reunion of sorts. Would a relationship be possible? Was one even desired—by either party?Two men had claimed to be Steven's father but neither proved to be a dad. He would spend years wrestling with the wounds of abandonment and abuse, burying his pain so deep it became “the feeling of no feeling.” His search for acceptance, belonging, and purpose would lead him from Florida to Israel to law school to a fulfilling career helping and protecting others, but the rejection he felt in his childhood would also play a role in the failure of his first two marriages. Determined not to repeat the past, Steven sought therapy and became an unwavering presence in the lives of his five children.He is a graduate of Florida State University and the University of Florida College of Law. A practicing attorney and father of five, he has spent over thirty years advocating for children as a pro bono guardian ad litem and representing families of first responders killed on 9/11. As a founding partner of Page & Eichenblatt, he has received multiple awards for legal excellence and community work supporting children.He is the author of "Pretend They Are Dead: A Father's Search for the Truth.A memoir of resilience, Pretend They Are Dead reminds us of the pivotal role fathers play in the emotional well-being of their children and the ways in which childhood trauma can be overcome. https://www.amazon.com/Pretend-They-Are-Dead-Fathers-ebook/dp/B0F6VX4Z7W http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jody Jones and Chuck Gantz from Millwood Inc. Thank you for inviting me to speak with your staff at your place of business. You're helping others find strength. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:43-52: And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard." And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, "Rabbi!" And he kissed him. And they laid hands on him and seized him. But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled." And they all left him and fled. And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. — Mark 14:43-52 This moment stings with betrayal. Jesus has just prayed with deep anguish in Gethsemane, surrendering his will to the Father's. And now, immediately, Judas arrives—not alone, but leading an armed mob. Judas approaches and betrays Jesus with a kiss, a gesture usually reserved for friends. This intimate sign of affection becomes the painful mark of betrayal. Chaos erupts. Swords are drawn. A disciple lashes out. Fear grips the air. And amid the panic, Jesus remains remarkably composed, reminding them that he had always been accessible. He had taught openly, day after day. Yet, they come for him under the cover of darkness. At this moment, every follower flees. Those who promised unwavering loyalty scatter in fear. Even a young man, who followed briefly, escapes so hastily that he leaves his clothes behind, fleeing in shame and humiliation. But Jesus stands firm—betrayed, abandoned, yet unshaken. He doesn't run, retaliate, or collapse. He calmly faces the mob, resolved to fulfill Scripture and His divine purpose. We know the sting of betrayal and abandonment. Friends fail us. People we trusted leave us isolated. We've even been let down by those who were supposed to protect and support us. Yet, Jesus understands this pain intimately. He experienced betrayal at the deepest level, yet he remained faithful. His example shows us that when everyone else abandons us, He does not. He remains unshaken, steady, and true. Perhaps you're currently facing betrayal, loneliness, or disappointment. Don't retaliate. Don't let bitterness consume you. Instead, turn your eyes toward Jesus—the One who remained faithful when everyone else fled. Let that bitterness go. Right now. Jesus endured betrayal so you would never have to face yours alone. Even if others forsake you, He never will. #Betrayal #Faithfulness #Mark14 ASK THIS: Why does betrayal by someone close to you hurt so deeply? How does Jesus' composure in betrayal encourage you? In what situation do you currently need Christ's strength to forgive? How can reflecting on Christ's betrayal and faithfulness shape your response to disappointments? DO THIS: Today, choose forgiveness over bitterness. Release your pain to Jesus, knowing He understands your hurt deeply and will never abandon you. PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank you for enduring betrayal and abandonment for my sake. Help me to respond like you—unshaken, forgiving, and faithful—especially when others let me down. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Another in the Fire."

Rejection. Discard. Abandonment. Ghosting. Betrayal. Most perceive these as wounds—evidence that they are not lovable, not worthy, not enough. But what if these experiences are not assaults on your value, but divine interventions for your evolution?

And in our second half hour, Jason Toney of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East shows up to introduce listeners to the latest publication from The Breach entitled When Genocide Wasn't News: How Canadian Media Covered up the Destruction of Gaza

In this sermon, Pastor Ben Smith expositionally preaches from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12, addressing the critical issues of the sin of idleness and the often-abandoned practice of church discipline. He emphasizes that sin is a serious threat to individual Christians and the church, rightly understood as rebellion against God's lordship. The sermon highlights that faithful labor is submission to God, contrasting it with sinful idleness. The sermon also outlines three basic principles of church discipline: it is an action of the church, a direct confrontation of sin, and is fundamentally gospel-driven. Listeners will understand why the church must obey Christ's commands, even when they are countercultural, to affirm the gospel, combat sin, and rescue wayward members. Episode Notes: In this sermon, Pastor Ben Smith expositionally preaches from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12, addressing the critical issues of the sin of idleness and the often-abandoned practice of church discipline. He emphasizes that sin is a serious threat to individual Christians and the church, rightly understood as rebellion against God's lordship. The sermon highlights that faithful labor is submission to God, contrasting it with sinful idleness. The sermon also outlines three basic principles of church discipline: it is an action of the church, a direct confrontation of sin, and is fundamentally gospel-driven. Listeners will understand why the church must obey Christ's commands, even when they are countercultural, to affirm the gospel, combat sin, and rescue wayward members.Key Highlights· The Church's Abandonment of Discipline: Pastor Ben explains how historically, church discipline was a regular part of church life, but in recent years, it has been largely abandoned, indicating a lack of seriousness about the danger sin poses to individuals and the body of Christ. This abandonment is often rooted in a desire to "be nice" or concerns about inflated membership numbers, rather than faithful biblical witness.· Idleness as Rebellion, Not Rest: The passage in 2 Thessalonians addresses the sin of "idleness," which is defined as a moral disorder and rebellion, not simply rest. Paul, as an example, worked night and day to avoid being a burden, emphasizing that faithful labor is submission to God. Idleness can lead to other sins, such as being a "busybody" who disrupts the church.· Gospel-Driven Church Discipline: Church discipline is presented as an action commanded by Christ, to be carried out by the church on its members, specifically those living in unrepentant sin. Following the principles of Matthew 18, it involves direct confrontation of sin, potentially leading to the disfellowshipping of unrepentant members. Ultimately, church discipline is driven by love and the gospel, aiming to bear a true witness, rescue wayward members, and affirm that unrepentant rebellion is not acceptable to God.Find Out More:For more sermons and content from Pastor Ben Smith, visit BenSmithSr.org.

In this week's mini-episode we discuss the concept of systematic abandonment, a mental model co-opted from business strategists like Peter Drucker and Michael Porter. Systematic abandonment teaches us to periodically review and discard habits that are no longer useful, because deciding what not to do is often just as (if not more) important than deciding what to do.Get our Intro to Mechanics audio course, normally $79, FREE:https://bjjmentalmodels.com/freeintroDon't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Randy Pitkin, author of Restored, for a profoundly honest conversation about trauma, healing, and inner transformation. Randy opens up about his deeply painful childhood—marked by abuse, abandonment, and molestation—and how those early wounds shaped a path of rage, shame, and destructive behaviors. Through his story, we learn how moments of clarity and support empowered Randy to seek help, confront his past, and ultimately discover peace and wholeness. He shares how shifting spiritual beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and redefining identity played key roles in his healing journey. Randy's testimony is more than just a personal narrative—it's a beacon of hope for others grappling with unresolved trauma.

Abandonment is such a powerful wound toxic people use to control and manipulate you.  You're afraid of losing someone's love, praise, validation, or even physical presence, so you bend over backwards trying to please them, in the hopes that they'll stay.  Even when you know they're not the right fit.  Even when it goes against what you truly want.  The problem is that you end up abandoning yourself.  Not just in that moment, but in giving up on your future hopes, goals, and dreams.  It's time to break the cycle.   I'll show you how to heal your relationship with food, body, and yourself, but decoding how this wound continues to play out in your life, where it's holding you back, and how to break free once and for all.  Schedule your free Break the Cycle Call here: www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc Chapters (00:00:02) - Eat Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - The Core 4 Wounds of Narcissism(00:07:23) - How Fear of Abandonment Affects Relationships(00:13:07) - People Pleasing and the Abandonment Wound(00:18:51) - Self-Love antidote: Loving Yourself(00:24:31) - Breaking Free From the Binge Eating Cycle

LB is short for "Lil Bro." Michael Loomis is my 3rd guest from the Man Overseas Retreat in Costa Rica. Michael & I have logged hundreds of hours on the phone, and I couldn't wait to finally meet him. Plus, he reminds me a lot of a younger Man, hence the nickname—except he's a lot taller and a little better-lookin'.In this episode, we talk about his journey from Portland to Nashville, his faith that's shaped who he is today. Then we go even deeper—he opens up about what it was like growing up with a mother who struggled with alcoholism & mental health issues, how that's affected his view of love, reckoning with abandonment issues, and what forgiveness really looks like.As a former collegiate basketball All-American, LB has strong opinions on the GOAT debate. He tells a story about sitting next to Danny Ainge at the SEC tournament a few months ago—if you love the NBA, you'll appreciate this one. From Kobe's mindset to Michael Jordan to Anthony Edwards' rise, this episode has plenty for hoops-junkies.
