In the Book of Proverbs, King Solomon reminds us that “life and death are in the power of the tongue.” So it should come as no surprise that how we use our words really matters, especially when we talk to and about our spouse. In this program, Chip helps us better guard what comes out of our mouths and how we can repair past wounds we have created with careless or harsh comments. Discover how to cultivate a more loving and supportive environment with your mate.Introduction:Have you ever wondered why a little comment can cause such a big argument with your spouse?Fighting lies with truthLie #14 (for women):My husband's attitude makes no sense to me. He gets so upset when I make even the smallest comment in front of others about something he did wrong.The truth:Husbands fear FUTILITY, the sense that they don't measure up.

Prize Greed and the Abandonment of Barnard Guest: Eric Jay Dolin Charles Barnard offered the British castaways a humanitarian deal: rescue them in exchange for salvaging the Isabella. This accord was shattered when HMS Nancy, commanded by Lieutenant William Peter D'Aranda, arrived. D'Aranda, seeking personal fame, immediately disregarded the agreement, prioritizing personal financial gain through the prize system, which was widely viewed as "semi-piracy." D'Aranda seized the Nanina as a prize and declared the Americans prisoners of war. Crucially, D'Aranda callously abandoned Barnard and four others (including three British) who were ashore hunting food for the entire group. Marooned for 534 days, Barnard's survival hinged on the help of his dog, Cent, who was vital for hunting powerful, four-tusked wild boars.

Do you have a "graveyard of broken relationships" because you confront people who hurt you? In this video, Ross Rosenberg introduces the latest addition to his list of codependency personality types: the Abandonment-Sensitive Codependent (or Self-Love Deficient individual). These individuals are highly reactive to perceived abandonment, often confronting the pathological narcissists they are magnetically attracted to, which leads to repeated relationship ruptures. In the video, Ross explains how this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of loneliness and how it differs from healthier responses or personality disorders like BPD. If you see yourself in this pattern, learn how healing the core wounds of Self-Love Deficit Disorder can help you break the cycle and find peace.Learn more about Self-Love Recovery Treatment at my website: www.SelfLoveRecovery.com#Codependency #SelfLoveDeficitDisorder #AbandonmentIssues #HumanMagnetSyndrome #MentalHealth #RossRosenberg #NarcissisticAbuse #RelationshipAdvice

We reflected on the themes of abandonment and rejection, seeing how these feelings no longer define those who are in Christ. Drawing from Hebrews and 2 Corinthians, we were reminded that the believer's position in Christ is secure and cannot be undone by emotions, lies, or false teachings. The group emphasized the importance of a solid spiritual foundation, submitting to the Holy Spirit, and resting in the finished work of Christ. We also encouraged one another to share these truths in our homes and local church community, recognizing grace as the answer to the enemy's lies and fear.Themes:Abandonment and rejection no longer define the believer (2 Corinthians 5:16–17)Hebrews as a commentary on Leviticus, showing Christ as the fulfillment of the lawJustification and reconciliation are complete in Christ, not ongoing processesThe security of the believer's position in Christ despite feelings of rejectionImportance of daily submission to God's word and Christ's yokeReceiving the Holy Spirit as teacher and rejecting fear, lies, and doubt (2 Timothy 1:7)Grace as the antidote to the enemy's lies, lust, and feelings of abandonmentThe peace of Christ contrasted with the stress and striving of the worldSharing God's truth in homes and community to strengthen relationshipsCommitment to prayer, thanksgiving, and spiritual growth togetherScripture References:2 Corinthians 5:16–17; Hebrews; Leviticus; Genesis; John; Paul's epistles; 2 Timothy 1:7

Talia Weiner is a psychological anthropologist, licensed professional counselor, and assistant professor of psychology at the University of West Georgia. As a medical and psychological anthropologist, her work focuses on the intersection of social-structural forces and how those forces show up in lived experience, particularly in relation to mental health care. Weiner studies these and other topics with students in the Clinical Ethnography Lab within the University of West Georgia's psychology program. Weiner has an upcoming book titled Therapeutic Inequalities: Mood Disorder Self-Management in Chicago, scheduled for release Jan. 6, 2026, through NYU Press's Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice series. In this interview, Weiner discusses how conservative sociopolitical trends influence psychology and mental health care—how, for example, people with bipolar disorder are expected to monitor and manage themselves in ways that are not only unrealistic but also blur the lines between self and disease. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

In this episode of The Human Experience, host Jennifer Peterkin travels to Clermont, FL and welcomes Derek Newborn, who shares his raw and inspiring journey from abandonment, trauma, and self-destruction to transformation, healing, and purpose. Growing up in Fort Myers, Florida, Derek faced the pain of parental incarceration, single-parent struggles, and a deep sense of abandonment. Becoming a father at 16 and navigating hardships such as divorce, narcissism, and a suicide attempt, Derek reveals how he reached rock bottom and began the hard process of rebuilding his life. Through deep vulnerability, self-reflection, and a spiritual awakening, Derek learned to take ownership of his story. His journey of resilience offers listeners valuable insight into self-compassion, accountability, and the power of rewriting one’s narrative. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide and trauma. Listener discretion is strongly advised. Key Takeaways:● Childhood experiences and family dynamics shape adult struggles and emotional development.● Derek shares the impact of parental incarceration and the challenges of being raised by a single parent.● Abandonment and isolation influenced destructive patterns in relationships and self-worth.● His journey of self-discovery highlights the importance of accountability and rewriting one’s story.● Trauma is subjective—its impact depends on how it’s carried and processed.● Community support, vulnerability, and self-compassion are vital to healing.● Forgiveness is powerful but doesn’t always mean reconciliation.● Derek describes the shift from narcissism and self-centeredness to authentic connection.● A spiritual awakening redefined his purpose and ability to help others.     Derek Newborn’s Bio:Once named one of Florida’s “Top Personal Trainers” and a published fitness model, Derek Newborn appeared to have it all. But beneath the surface, he was unraveling. Multiple suicide attempts, destructive relationships, and narcissistic behaviors nearly cost him everything. Instead of ending his life, Derek chose to end the version of himself that was destroying it. Through resilience, accountability, and faith, he rebuilt his life brick by brick. Today, Derek helps women escape toxic relationships with narcissists, reclaim their worth, and reconnect with their authentic selves—mentally, spiritually, and physically. Having lived many lives—teenage father, construction worker, trainer, model, business owner, and survivor—Derek proves it’s never too late to rewrite your story. His mission is clear: no matter how far you’ve fallen, you can rise again—and thrive.     Connect with Derek Newborn:

Send us a textDo you ever wonder why you react the way you do in certain situations? In this powerful and insightful solo episode, host Lira Ndifon explains that those intense, seemingly oversized emotional responses are often your inner child screaming for attention. This part of you, which holds the memories and emotions of your youth, is trying to communicate unhealed wounds. Recognizing these patterns is the crucial first step on any meaningful healing journey.Lira breaks down three of the most common signs that your inner child needs healing. The first is people-pleasing, a deep-seated need for approval that makes it terrifying to set healthy boundaries for fear of rejection or abandonment. The second is perfectionism, that relentless inner voice telling you that you must be flawless to be worthy, which often leads to self-sabotaging opportunities you're afraid you won't execute perfectly.Finally, she explores the difficulty of trusting others, a defense mechanism learned when a younger part of you decided it wasn't safe to be vulnerable or depend on anyone.If any of these signs resonate with you, Lira wants you to know that you are not alone. This episode serves as both a guide to awareness and a heartfelt invitation to take the next step. Lira announces her upcoming Inner Child Healing Workshop on August 23rd, a dedicated space designed to help you understand and begin healing these exact wounds. This conversation is an essential listen for anyone ready to stop reacting and start healing.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

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."

YOUR MESSAGE NEEDS A HOME- You know you're called to coach, but getting visible online can feel overwhelming — especially when it comes to branding, websites, and actually marketing what you do. In this conversation with Courtney from The Little Creative Co., we talk about the deeper reasons behind visibility resistance, how to think about your website as a home for your message, and why building a brand isn't about being flashy — it's about being clear, consistent, and faithful to what God's asked you to carry. Key Takeaways Your website isn't just a digital resume — it's a tool to help the right people find you and trust you. Marketing is ministry when it's rooted in service, clarity, and obedience.

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?
