Despite his belief in the love of God, Terry Lees admits he once harboured the feeling that he did not always deserve that love, that he was not worthy, nor had he earned it. Terry saw himself as a sinner and, in truth, unable to fully accept that God could love him unconditionally, unreservedly. Terry could look to the man on the Cross and feel forgiveness yet could not – or would not – fully understand the depth of the meaning of the Cross. By the grace of God, that changed. Join Terry in Silver Linings as he outlines the slow, imperceptible process of change and conversion, which led to major transformation.

Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is one of the most underexamined yet telling indicators of how deeply entrenched he was in elite policy-making circles. Epstein donated at least $350,000 to the CFR and was listed as a member of its donor roster for years, despite his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. His name appeared alongside respected diplomats, corporate executives, and scholars—legitimizing him in the eyes of the foreign policy establishment. Even after his initial conviction, the CFR accepted donations from Epstein-linked foundations and did not publicly distance itself from him until much later, raising questions about whether his presence was overlooked, tolerated, or quietly protected.The CFR has since tried to downplay its connection to Epstein, claiming he was not a formal member, but that distinction does little to shield the institution from criticism. Accepting donations from a convicted sex offender, especially one operating under the guise of philanthropy and elite networking, speaks volumes about the moral compromises often made behind closed doors. Epstein leveraged associations like this to burnish his image and embed himself within global power structures, using institutions like CFR as part of the camouflage that made his crimes harder to scrutinize. The fact that no CFR official raised alarm or demanded accountability at the time remains a stark reflection of how financial influence can insulate even the most depraved figures from scrutiny.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/council-on-foreign-relations-another-beneficiary-of-epstein-largesse-grapples-with-how-to-handle-his-donations/2019/09/10/1d5630e2-d324-11e9-86ac-0f250cc91758_story.html

Have you ever felt pressure to hide a part of who you are? What helps you feel safe enough to open up? Today, Jay chats with renowned celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton to share deeply personal parts of his life he’s never shared publicly. Known for creating iconic looks for stars like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Ariana Grande, Chris has built a career around image and transformation. Chris bravely opens up about the journey that shaped him, pulling back the curtain on the private struggles behind his public success. From growing up in a working-class town in England, and discovering his passion for hair was a way to survive, to feel seen, and to express who he really was. As the conversation unfolds, Chris opens up about the darkest night of his life. The moment he nearly ended his life, a breaking point born from decades of shame, fear, and the belief that being true to himself would hurt the people he loved most. What followed was not an overnight transformation, but a long, honest path toward healing. Chris speaks candidly about coming out as gay in his late twenties, the grief of ending a nine-year relationship with the mother of his children, and the fear of disappointing his kids. Jay and Chris explore the power of redefining identity, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the possibility of change at any stage in life. With the support of therapy, self-reflection, and a willingness to confront his pain, Chris began a new chapter, one rooted in alignment between his inner and outer world. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Embrace Your True Identity Without Shame How to Heal After Hiding Your Authentic Self How to Rebuild Private Pain in Public How to Support Your Children Through Major Life Changes How to Start Over When Your Life No Longer Feels Aligned How to Find Peace Through Forgiveness and Self-Acceptance How to Recognize When It’s Time to Let Go and Move On No matter your past, your pain, or how long you’ve carried it, it’s never too late to begin again.

We're diving into the archives this summer to bring you some of our most memorable and impactful conversations — and today's episode is just too good to pass up. While we take a short summer break, we're re-sharing these standout episodes. So stay tuned all summer long for these gems! This week, we're bringing back Episode 27 with Dr. Danielle Novak — a deep and moving conversation that fuses psychoanalytic insight with the complexities of eating disorders. Dr. Novak, a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience and currently in psychoanalytic training at NYU, joins us to unpack one of the most elusive and critical aspects of disordered eating: the role of dissociation. This isn't just theory — it's a raw, compassionate exploration of how symptoms aren't random, but deeply protective mechanisms developed from unspoken, often unconscious emotional pain. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, confused by your reactions, or wondered why food has such a powerful grip in moments of distress, this conversation will resonate deeply.  In this episode, we're talking about: How eating disorders develop and are maintained as protective responses, not simply destructive habits. What dissociation really means and how it can show up subtly or severely in our everyday lives. How trauma — both big "T" and small "t" — plays a central role in dissociation and the onset of eating disorders. The ways emotions get stored in the body and expressed through symptoms when they can't be spoken. How restriction, binge-purge cycles, and overexercise act as coping mechanisms for overwhelming feelings. Why symptoms may provide temporary relief, but ultimately prevent us from connecting with our emotions and others. How building awareness and creating a “pause” between urge and action can begin to reconnect dissociated parts of the mind. The vital role of the therapeutic relationship in healing dissociation and restoring emotional expression. Why treatment often begins with symptom stabilization but must eventually move into deeper emotional territory to be truly transformative. Tweetable Quotes "I tend to believe that eating disorder behaviors are often sort of stand-ins for feelings that cannot be felt as feelings or expressed through words or through other means." - Dr. Danielle Novack "People don't learn how to regulate emotions. Emotions are just put away in a box and not looked at and not dealt with, and become separated from what's conscious." - Dr. Danielle Novack "Often people describe restriction as giving them a sense of like numbness and detachment that often feels preferable and safer than actually feeling their feelings." - Dr. Danielle Novack “Without knowing what's going on in our body, we can't possibly create important connections.” -Rachelle Heinemann Resources Dr. Danielle's Website It Takes A Village By Dr. Danielle Novack Grab my Journal Prompts Here  Looking for a speaker for an upcoming event?

Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

Leah Garcia is the Founder & CEO of NULASTIN®, the first beauty brand to commercialize elastin-based haircare. With a background as a professional athlete and award-winning media personality, Leah brings a performance mindset to DTC brand building, combining storytelling, product innovation, and operational grit.Before launching NULASTIN, Leah built a successful career in broadcast journalism and sports media, covering professional bull riding for CBS and competing internationally in mountain biking. That same tenacity shows up in how she scaled NULASTIN to $17.5M in revenue before hiring her first employee, bootstrapping the brand through direct response marketing, Indiegogo campaigns, and scrappy user-generated content.Leah shares why she shifted from a crowded skincare category to focus on brows and lashes, how “less polished” creative outperformed high-production assets, and why authenticity still drives her best-performing ads. She also breaks down her product development process, the metrics she tracks most closely, and how she's approaching influencer and affiliate marketing now that the brand has scaled.Whether she's explaining why awkward websites sometimes convert better or why prestige branding can alienate loyal buyers, Leah offers a no-BS look at building a beauty brand that lasts without relying on glossy tactics or VC backing.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:43] Intro[01:20] Launching niche beauty products with clear focus[02:00] Identifying a personal need in the market[03:20] Investing early in a science-backed idea[04:30] Taking control after early business loss[05:36] Accepting risk when investing your own money[06:53] Bootstrapping with decks, debt, and side hustles[09:22] Trusting instinct over validation frameworks[10:38] Learning from regulatory arrogance[12:55] Leveraging infomercial skills for DTC[14:46] Episode Sponsors: Electric Eye, Heatmap & Zamp[18:43] Focusing early on user generated content[20:42] Understanding the tradeoffs of premium branding[22:30] Selling before customers hit the website[23:20] Learning from infomercial-driven growth[27:29] Blending legacy service with modern techResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeElastin-based hair and skincare nulastin.com/Follow Leah Garcia linkedin.com/in/leah-garcia-592988Schedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectClear, real-time data built for ecommerce optimization heatmap.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Join StoneBridge this weekend as Associate Pastor Ryan Joslin continues the with message series, Storytime, with a message titled, Accepting the Invitation, based on Luke 14:1;12-24.

Morning Mantra: “It is what it is.”I must have said this 10 times this past weekend.  I did a show with my mobile unit and sales were not great.  I had to accept the fact that the goal I set was not going to be met.It is what it is can be one of the most difficult concepts to wrap your head around, because we tend to see things as we WANT them to be, not as they are.If a situation, relationship, or problem can be changed, then by all means, work on it. If it can't, then you must learn to accept it, As. It. Is.When you focus on what IS NOT, then you remove the opportunity for gratitude. Being grateful for what you already have, like the sales I WAS making and how beautiful the weather was, often attracts more of what you want. Focusing on how it's NOT puts you in a negative head space and lowers your ability to see things clearly. It also makes you feel bad.Accepting things/people as they are doesn't mean you've given up, it means you've learned to let go of things you can't control. Nothing I could have done would have changed the fact that there were fewer people at the show than expected and those that were there just weren't buying what I was selling.  It is what it is, not what it should be, not what it could have been.  And that's OK.#BeAcceptingOfWhatIs #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

This explains the concept of צידוק הדין - to recognize that what is happening to us if from Hashem, and accept it.

Today's focus is on the profound biblical truth that we, as the church, are the bride of Christ. This identity is not just a metaphor, but a reality that shapes how we understand God's love, our relationship with Him, and how we live in the world. The imagery of the bride is deeply rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, and it speaks to the intimacy, commitment, and sacrificial love that Jesus has for us.Reflecting on the cultural context of the early church, especially in Ephesus, we see how revolutionary Paul's teaching was. In a society where women were often treated as property and marriages were arranged for status, Paul calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, selflessly, and with deep honor. This was a radical departure from the norms of the day, and it points us to the way Jesus loves us: not as property, but as beloved, chosen, and cherished.To be the bride of Christ means to be deeply loved by Jesus. This is not a love we earn or deserve, but a love that is freely given, proven by His sacrifice on the cross. The imagery of the ancient Jewish betrothal helps us understand this even more. When Jesus lifted the cup at the Last Supper, He was not only instituting communion, but also making a proposal—a covenant of love and faithfulness. When we receive Him, we are betrothed to Him, set apart, and called to faithfulness as we await His return.This betrothal is not passive. As the bride, we are called to be faithful, to keep our hearts undivided, and to resist the pull of the world that would have us compromise our devotion. Paul's warning to the Corinthians is just as relevant today: we must not “cheat” on Jesus by giving our affections to lesser things. Instead, we are to prepare ourselves, living in purity and expectation, knowing that a great wedding feast is coming—the marriage supper of the Lamb.As we take communion, we remember not only the price Jesus paid, but also the promise we have made to Him. It is a holy moment of recommitment, gratitude, and anticipation. We are loved, chosen, and being prepared for a glorious union with our Savior. Let us live as a bride who is eagerly awaiting her groom, faithful and ready for His return.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Marriage Stories and Brokenness[03:30] - The Challenge of the Bride Metaphor[07:17] - Paul's Revolutionary Teaching in Ephesus[11:40] - Roman Household Codes vs. Christ's Love[14:17] - Sacrificial Love and Dignity[17:00] - To Be the Bride is to Be Loved[19:22] - Christ's Sacrifice and Our Value[22:43] - Jesus Sees and Chooses Us[25:39] - The Passover Cups and the Proposal[29:34] - Betrothal and the Cup of Redemption[32:21] - The Bridegroom Prepares a Place[35:05] - Faithfulness While We Wait[39:38] - Are We Cheating on Jesus?[43:40] - The Coming Wedding Feast[47:12] - Preparing the Bride[51:57] - Righteousness and Good Deeds[53:04] - Accepting the Proposal[53:57] - Communion: Remembering the Covenant[54:37] - Responding to Jesus' Love[55:57] - The Sacrifice Remembered and Anticipated

I hope that you find what I have to share to be of value in helping you become the saint God has created you to be, and I am excited about what is to come in the weeks and months ahead. Enjoy!In this episode, Christina Semmens reflects on her recent pilgrimage to Ireland and Scotland, emphasizing the importance of patient trust in God's timing and grace. She shares insights from her experiences, including the beauty of nature and the lessons learned during her retreat. Christina discusses the gradual maturation of ideas and the necessity of faithfulness in spiritual practices, encouraging listeners to embrace the slow work of God in their lives. She concludes with practical resolutions for personal growth, focusing on patience and faithfulness.TakeawaysThe summer was a time of grace and reflection.Patient trust is essential in our spiritual journey.Ideas mature gradually; we must allow them to grow.Trusting in God's timing can be challenging but necessary.Faithfulness is more important than success.We often resist change due to our desire for control.Spiritual growth takes longer than we anticipate.Practicing patience can be integrated into daily tasks.Remaining faithful to spiritual practices is crucial.Accepting feelings of suspense and incompleteness is part of the journey.Sound Bites"Trust in the slow work of God""Your ideas mature gradually""Jesus, I trust in you"Chapters00:00 Return from Pilgrimage: A Journey of Grace06:47 Patient Trust: Embracing God's Timing14:46 Faithfulness in the Journey: Lessons from St. Paul22:01 Resolutions for Growth: Practicing Patience and Faithfulness

Many try to define God by their pain saying, "My hard life is the source of the truth of the mysteries of the universe and existence itself." God showed Job, “When you accept that I am in charge in your pain, then you can accept that I am in charge of your deliverance." Self-righteous reality never wins.

Vice President JD Vance gave a speech recently that deserved more attention than it got. Accepting an award at a right-wing think tank, he argued that there's a fundamental brokenness in how we define who is an American. He explained that this is the root of many of our country's problems: a national identity that has become too broad.That was also a core idea of the 2018 book “The Virtue of Nationalism,” which caused a sensation on the right. Its author, the Israeli political theorist Yoram Hazony, went on to build a movement. For years, he has hosted NatCon — short for National Conservatism — conferences. Those events have featured speakers like Marco Rubio, who is now the secretary of state, and Senator Josh Hawley. And one of the most reliable speakers, year after year, has been Vance.I wanted to talk to Hazony. What exactly is his argument, his worldview? And are the Trump administration's policies putting it into practice?Mentioned:JD Vance's speech at The Claremont InstituteBook Recommendations:The Demon in Democracy by Ryszard LegutkoThe Strategy of Denial by Elbridge ColbyIsrael and Civilization by Josh HammerThoughts?

I'm diving deep into one of the biggest mindset shifts I've ever made as a parent: learning to accept my child's behavior without condoning it. We're unpacking Chapter 2 of my book—Control the Controllables—but I'm not just reading it. I'm bringing in fresh reflections, personal stories, and real-life coaching conversations to help you reclaim your peace, even when your child's behavior feels completely out of your hands. You'll hear how I used to believe controlling my kids was my job, and how focusing on what I actually could control changed everything from the tone in my home to my own sense of confidence and calm. If you've ever thought,“If I accept this behavior, won't it just continue?”“I've lost control, and I don't know how to get it back.”“I want to set limits and stay connected—can I do both?”This episode will meet you right where you are. Today I'm covering:Why controlling your child's behavior doesn't work, and what to do insteadWhat's actually in your control as a parent (way more than you think!)Why acceptance isn't the same as condoning—and how it helps you show up at your bestHow to stay grounded, even in high-conflict momentsThe six powerful questions that shift you out of judgment and into connectionThe Six Acceptance Questions Use these whenever you feel triggered, powerless, or judgmental. They'll help you shift from resistance to compassion—and from reactivity to leadership.How does what they did or said make perfect sense to them? (Step into their world. What might they be feeling or needing?)What do their words or actions tell me about them—not about me? (This isn't personal. It's a window into their internal world.)How does what I did or said make perfect sense to me? (Offer yourself compassion, too. Your reaction came from somewhere.)What would serve everyone's highest good right now? (Let this question guide your next move—grounded and connected.)What am I making this moment mean about me—or about them? (Reveal the story your brain is telling so you can question it.)Do I want to accept what just happened? If not, why? If yes, why? (This gives you permission to pause, reflect, and choose.) Before the day ends, take 5 minutes and:Make your “Controllables List:” Write down everything in your parenting world that you do have control over (your thoughts, tone, routines, boundaries, energy, etc.)Use the Acceptance Questions: Pick one moment that felt hard this week and walk through the six questions above.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Welcome to R&R: Revisit & Reflect, a new episode format here on the podcast. We're living in a time of information abundance (sometimes information overload) and lots of that information is about mental health and relational health! But there's a difference between consuming content and integrating it. When we consume, the information might just pass through us, whereas when we integrate, the information weaves its way into our unique story or situation, creating insight and the potential for a shift in mindset, in emotion, in belief, and in behavior. With these R&R episodes, you'll reflect and journal with Dr. Alexandra to integrate core lessons from the podcast, continuing with today's conversation from the archive with the esteemed Drs. John & Julie Gottman. The Gottmans share some of the most groundbreaking findings to ever come out of their Love Lab and discuss with Dr. Alexandra the relationship principle of “Small Things Often.” So, get out your favorite pen and journal and join in this summer reflection. You'll come away from this episode with:A deeper understanding of how 'small things often' can create lasting bonds in your intimate partnerships.An opportunity to identify and appreciate the positive moments that contribute to your relationship's health.A framework for self-reflection with actionable journaling prompts to enhance intimacy.Journaling Prompts:What messages did you receive growing up, either from your family, your culture, or from media you consumed, about HOW to express love? In what ways were those messages limited, and how might you update them based on what you heard in this clip?What keeps you from making small gestures of love towards your partner / toward your past partner? What keeps you from ACCEPTING bids for connection from partners? Is it discomfort? If so, what specifically feels uncomfortable? Is it fear? If so, what specifically is the fear? Is it a feeling of unworthiness? If so, what do you want to remember about who you are?In the clip, the Gottmans remind us that our PERCEPTION of our partner can play a huge role in the dynamic, and that we might actually be missing positive moments and bids for connection that are already happening. Write down a commitment you want to make this week to help you to keep an eye out for the positive.What's something you find beautiful about your partner, either inside or out? What would it be like to share this with them, without any agenda, but just because it might light them up?“Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefreshCouple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandraReimagining Love Episode, “How to Love Well: The Little Things that Change Everything with Drs.

What would you do if your child came to you and said they wanted to end their life? For today's guest, that heartbreaking moment came out of nowhere, and it turned his entire world upside down. But instead of crumbling, Rob reached for something familiar: The Miracle Morning. What started as a productivity tool became his lifeline. And ultimately, it helped him show up for his son in the way he needed most. Rob Stein is a purpose-driven leader, coach, and founder of Fathers in Christ and Elevate YOUniversity. He's also a beloved presence in the Miracle Morning Community, where his daily FB posts consistently offer honesty, vulnerability, and value. Rob's mission is to equip high-performing men to lead with faith, live with integrity, and build legacies rooted in love and resilience. In this emotional and powerful episode, Rob opens up about the darkest season of his life—when his teenage son admitted to having suicidal thoughts, and later attempted to take his life. Rob walks us through the pain, the fear, and thankfully, the healing that took place through his unwavering faith and the stabilizing force of the Miracle Morning. We also dive into the healing powers of journaling and the role that spiritual growth and acceptance played in his journey, and how parents can support their kids and loved ones through their own mental health struggles.

While we take a little breather, we're diving into the archives to bring you some of the most powerful, thought-provoking episodes from the past. These conversations are just too good to leave behind—and today's is no exception. We're throwing it back to Episode 57, a deeply moving and intellectually rich conversation with Heather Ferguson, one of the most respected voices in trauma-informed psychoanalysis and eating disorder treatment. Heather's insight into the nuanced connection between trauma and disordered eating is unmatched, and in this conversation, we scratch the surface of a topic that could easily fill a semester-long course. From childhood trauma and body memory to dissociation, shame, and the slow, compassionate path to healing, this episode is a must-listen whether you're a therapist, a survivor, or simply curious about the deeper psychological layers behind disordered eating. In this episode, we're talking about: What trauma really means—including the difference between "Big T" and "small t" trauma—and how it shows up in unexpected ways. How the context and response to a traumatic event can shape the severity and meaning of the trauma. How eating disorders can act as survival strategies: tools for self-soothing, control, and numbing. What it means when an eating disorder serves both soothing and self-punishing functions. Why the healing process must include not just the mind, but the body—and how we create space for that in therapy. How early trauma and misattunement can shape our beliefs about ourselves and our bodies. How intergenerational trauma, secrecy, and silence can pass psychological pain down through families. Why creating a coherent narrative and reclaiming agency are essential to healing. How somatic awareness and slowing down automatic behaviors are key to shifting patterns of disordered eating. How cultural, familial, and historical narratives about food and bodies impact how trauma and eating disorders manifest. Why curiosity, compassion, and shared storytelling are central to transformative healing. Tweetable Quotes “The eating disorder became a self-management tool, a self-regulating tool, a strategy to manage states of hyperarousal and anxiety, to have a sense of efficacy and control.” – Heather Ferguson “Most of us with a psychoanalytic frame of mind think about eating disorders serving both functions, that is, they can both downregulate and soothe the nervous system, but it can also be self-harming and self-punishing.” – Heather Ferguson “That's part of what gets mapped around trauma – ‘I'm bad, I deserve punishment.' It's illogical, it's sort of how the psyche makes sense of this – that you are the bad one, and you somehow induce the traumatic event.” – Heather Ferguson “The eating disorder, in a way, can be a window into understanding the trauma.” – Heather Ferguson Resources Heather's Website  Heather's email: heatherfergusonlcsw@outlook.com   Grab my Journal Prompts Here!
