In this episode Houston legend Mike D — the man many call the original King of Lean — unpacks the true story behind codeine culture in the American South. Before “lean” was a mainstream rap flex… before double cups and purple memes… there was a street-level hustle that changed Houston forever. Mike D breaks down how promethazine with codeine went from a quiet substitute for heroin to a full-blown cultural phenomenon — influencing DJ Screw, the Screwed Up Click, and icons like Pimp C, Bun B, and Lil Wayne. What started as something passed around on the corner turned into an underground empire moving thousands of dollars a day — long before law enforcement even understood what was happening. In this interview, we cover: * How Mike D became Houston's go-to supplier * The birth of “drank” culture inside DJ Screw's house * The economics of the codeine black market * Street wars between Houston neighborhoods * Texas prison brutality and plantation-style incarceration * The real story behind Pimp C's death * Addiction, droughts, and what happens when supply dries up * How music and drugs fed off each other to build a movement This isn't just a drug story. It's a story about culture, capitalism, addiction, loyalty, betrayal — and how one underground market reshaped Southern hip-hop forever. From Astroworld fights to state prison bids… from Mercedes at 16 to moving cases of syrup… Mike D tells it all. Go Support Mike!

Episode 2904: Chris from KeepThrifty reveals how selling their home helped his family break free from an endless cycle of remodeling projects that drained time, energy, and money. By embracing the limitations of apartment living, they discovered a surprising sense of peace, contentment, and financial freedom, allowing them to redirect resources toward meaningful experiences together. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.keepthrifty.com/breaking-addiction-home-updates/ Quotes to ponder: "Every one of these updates would have increased the value of our home but they would have seriously interfered with our financial ability to pursue other dreams." "Our lack of ability to take action has left us feeling freer than we did before." "Home isn't about a building, the walls, the furniture, or finishes. It's about the people, the time together, and the life we are able to live."

In a landmark trial in California, Meta and Google are being accused of addicting children to social media. On this week's On the Media, hear how the dramatic proceedings are playing out, and how measures to protect kids online can backfire. Plus, why are betting companies showing up in newsrooms?[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with  Madlin Mekelburg, a legal reporter at Bloomberg, about the landmark lawsuit against Google and Meta that went to trial this week. The social media giants are being accused of deliberately designing their platforms in a way that is addictive and harmful to children's brains, and the verdict of this case will influence the outcomes of thousands of similar cases across the country. Plus, neuroscience researcher Ian Anderson explains why the ‘addiction' framework  misses the complexity of what social media does to our brains. [20:00] Brooke interviews Julia Angwin, investigative journalist and founder of Proof News, a nonprofit journalism studio. They discuss the tools that users can employ to protect themselves against doomscrolling, and how social media bans across the world can sometimes do more harm than good. [34:41] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Judd Legum, the author of the accountability newsletter Popular Information, about the explosive rise of prediction markets, and the implications of their growing partnerships with newsrooms.   Further reading / watching:“Social Networks Face Big Tobacco Moment Over Addiction Cases,” by Madlin Mekelburg“Overestimates of social media addiction are common but costly,” by Ian Anderson and Wendy Wood“I Killed Color on My Phone.

At Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, Rob Reiner reportedly told friends he was afraid his son could hurt him. He and Michele drove home anyway. By morning, both were dead, and Nick Reiner was in custody. This case isn't about whether the signs were visible. It's about why they weren't enough.The Reiners spent fifteen years and millions trying to save Nick from addiction. Eighteen rehab stays. Sixty thousand dollars monthly. Professional interventionists. Addiction counselors who explicitly warned them: your son is manipulating you. For years, Rob and Michele followed protocol. Then they reversed everything. By 2015, both publicly apologized for trusting professionals over Nick. They adopted his framework — that the treatment system, not their son, was the problem.What followed was a systematic dismantling of every protective boundary. A schizophrenia diagnosis. Seventy thousand monthly in psychiatric costs. Nick living in the guesthouse mere feet from their bedroom. A family orbiting one person's chaos while their own identities evaporated.This episode breaks down the mechanics of enabling that becomes fatal. The daily nervous system hijacking where you assess threat levels before breakfast. The isolation that happens so slowly you blame yourself for having no friends. The psychological reversal where your concerns become your betrayal of someone you love. Michele spoke about this openly — the moment she and Rob decided the experts were wrong about their son.This is required listening for anyone watching a family disappear into addiction management. The patterns are recognizable. The ending doesn't have to be the same.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #AddictionCrisis #ConanOBrien #CelebrityCrime #FamilyTragedy #NarcissisticAbuse #BeingCharlieJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Unconditional Love. Addiction often teaches us conditional love — love based on performance, expectations, and fear. Recovery introduces something different: learning how to give and receive love without conditions, without control, and without perfection. Today we're talking about what unconditional love really looks like in recovery, in relationships, and in how we treat ourselves. Join the conversation live and share your experience in the chat.

Dans ce nouvel épisode, c'est Anthony qui vient nous parler de son histoire.Il nous raconte son parcours, marqué par la violence de son père alcoolique et la découverte progressive de son homosexualité.L'alcool est devenu son quotidien pendant des années et un moyen d'oublier, de ne pas penser.Un jour Anthony décide de parler à son père décédé pour affronter ses démons. Plus tard, il décide d'expliquer à ses proches qu'il était alcoolique et qu'il avait besoin de se soigner. Ses mots ont été le début de son soin.À travers son parcours de résilience, il nous partage comment l'abstinence a transformé sa vie et comment il a appris que le chemin de la sobriété c'est   tomber, se relever et continuer.Vous allez entendre ici l'épisode émouvant d'une personne sincère et tellement naturelle qui a pris beaucoup de hauteur face à sa dépendance et qui a dit cette phrase que j'ai trouvé si belle : "la sobriété c'est vivre les yeux grands ouverts".Aujourd'hui Anthony est patient expert et vous pouvez le retrouver sur son compte facebook  " Anto Loco" avec ce lien : https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=anto loco&locale=fr_FR N'hésitez pas à aller lui faire un retour !!Bonne écoute  : )  

Nouvelle saison, nouveau format : on explore les multiples facettes des addictions en croisant les regards. Autour d'une même table, des personnes concernées par les addictions et les troubles psy — Agnès, Flora et Ulysse — échangent avec deux soignant·es en addictologie : Élodie Marchin du CSAPA Cap 14 et Jean-Victor Blanc, psychiatre à l'hôpital Saint-Antoine et cofondateur du festival Pop & Psy. Chaque participant·e prépare des questions en amont, tirées au hasard et lues à tour de rôle par l'équipe de la Perche. Côté équipe, Anna passe le flambeau à Alice, psychologue à la Maison Perchée, qui animera la Perche en alternance avec Hana. À travers cette symétrie dans l'échange, on cherche à déconstruire la verticalité traditionnelle de la relation de soin et à instaurer un dialogue horizontal, où chaque perspective éclaire l'autre. Ce format de regards croisés inclura également d'autres profils, des proches aux chercheurs.Entre témoignages intimes et éclairages cliniques, cette conversation questionne les pratiques de soin et l'accessibilité en addictologie. On y aborde la stigmatisation qui freine les démarches de soin, les moments déterminants d'un parcours thérapeutique, la liberté d'expression face aux soignant·es et les expériences parfois difficiles vécues dans le système de santé.L'épisode interroge également l'influence de la pop culture sur notre rapport aux substances psychoactives. De Las Vegas Parano à Pulp Fiction, en passant par Skins ou Projet X, on examine comment ces œuvres ont façonné nos imaginaires collectifs et parfois banalisé des comportements à risque, tout en reconnaissant la fascination qu'elles ont exercée sur toute une génération. On explore aussi l'évolution des prises en charge en addictologie et le glissement conceptuel de la notion d'abstinence exclusive vers celle de réduction des risques et de rétablissement, reconnaissant ainsi la pluralité des parcours possibles.On espère que ce format vous apportera quelques réponses — ou au moins quelques bonnes questions. N'hésitez pas à nous donner vos retours.

Dennis T from Alaska joined SA on July 29th 2014. After 40 years of searching for a solution, he was finally introduced to SA at age 52. He asked for a sponsor on day 1 and has worked his program every day since. He states that helping another sexaholic through the steps brings about the greatest connection to his Higher Power than anything else. Being used by God, on a daily basis, has changed his life and his relationships. Living free one day at a time by utterly abandoning himself to his Higher Power has given him a new way of living.  Today, Dennis speaks to us on Step 2.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Big Tech is finally facing a major legal reckoning—and the outcome could reshape the internet as we know it. On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by Media Research Center VP Dan Schneider to break down the landmark lawsuits targeting social media giants over alleged harm to teens and children. They dive into the legal battle unfolding in California and New Mexico, the limits of Section 230, and whether tech platforms can still claim immunity while controlling content. Is social media truly “addictive by design”? Where does personal responsibility end and corporate accountability begin? And could new evidence expose Big Tech companies for knowingly allowing harmful or even illegal content? Plus, Tudor and Dan explore media bias in platforms like Apple News and Wikipedia, raising serious questions about information control, censorship, and the future of free speech in America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte Collins is joined by Polly Newman and writer, presenter and podcast host Tolly Shoneye for a brilliantly chaotic catch-up on everything from pop culture obsession to real-life dilemmas.First up: the joy (and cultural impact) of Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, plus why certain TV shows and their stars are shifting the conversation around masculinity, sexuality and the female gaze. The trio also share what they're loving right now: IBX manicures, affordable framed prints, art rental subscriptions, the unexpected joy of a mandolin for ‘tiny chopped' salads and a few fashion finds (including a very good YSL loafer lookalike).Then, they dive into the big topics: why luxury stores are making us queue, how to maintain adult friendships (and make new memories) and the age-old question of splitting money and the mental load at home.PANELCharlotte Collins | @charlotteleahcollins | https://www.instagram.com/charlotteleahcollins/ M&S Pure Cashmere Crew Jumper | https://tidd.ly/4pqyVEL Chloé Bracelet Leather Belt | https://tinyurl.com/3vzxtr43 Pairs Ultra Soft Bed Socks | https://tinyurl.com/5d4hwwte Dune Grisella Lip On Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/yc73eryt Vara Optical Wimbledon Glasses | https://tinyurl.com/burw23m5 Polly Newman | @pollyvnewman | https://www.instagram.com/pollyvnewmanArket Lacquered Leather Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/4uz275vd AGOLDE + Net Sustain 90s Pinch Waist Jeans | https://tinyurl.com/wkkwsxmt Pairs Bamboo Socks | https://www.pairs-socks.com/products/dark-plum-bamboo-socks Tolly Shoneye | @tolly_t | https://www.instagram.com/tolly_t/ NA-KD Short Pu Biker Jacket | https://tinyurl.com/cdtuh7vs SKIMS Scoop Neck Ribbed Tank Top | https://tinyurl.com/ytrrxakj Jaded London Cadet Camo Shorts | https://tinyurl.com/ytjfu33v THINGS WE LOVEThe Receipts Podcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/3GMZiZnqL4Hib6DD5PGhdj Giddy Prints | https://giddyprints.co.uk/ Interrupted Art | https://interrupted.art/ BBC World of Secrets | https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtvs0 FASHION FINDSSaint Laurent Le Loafer Logo Embellished Leather Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/trexmrs5 GANNI Wool Blend Trench Coat | https://tinyurl.com/379t9u6r Hermès Chypre Sandal | https://tinyurl.com/2s35rrrv Hertunba | https://www.hertunba.com/ Rendoll | https://www.rendoll.com/SheerLuxe ‘The New ASOS Range Denim Fans Will Love' | https://tinyurl.com/zzavcjpw ASOS DESIGN Horseshoe Jeans | https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-oversized-horseshoe-jean-in-pink/prd/209337465 Dries Van Noten Jersey Peplum Sweatshirt | https://tinyurl.com/trexmrs5 Topshop Balloon Hem Sweatshirt | https://tinyurl.com/4nvsjdur ASOS ARRANGE Oversized Long Sleeve T-Shirt | https://tinyurl.com/yv88he3m Hosted on Acast.

Breaking Generational Curses. Many of us didn't just struggle with addiction — we inherited patterns, pain, and behaviors that were passed down long before we ever picked up a drink. Recovery gives us the chance to stop the cycle and create a new path for the next generation. Today we're talking about the cycles so many of us break in recovery: • Addiction and substance abuse • Silence and secrets in families • Anger, chaos, and emotional instability • Shame, guilt, and feeling “not enough” • Avoidance, denial, and unhealthy coping Often the person who enters recovery becomes the black sheep of the family — the one who stops pretending, starts telling the truth, and chooses a different way to live. The one who says, “It stops with me.” Recovery isn't just personal transformation — it's generational change. Join the conversation live and share your experience in the chat. No one trudges alone.

Every parent of an addict runs the same equation — if I find the right variable, the answer changes. The right rehab. The right therapist. The right diagnosis. The right medication. Rob and Michele Reiner ran that equation for more than fifteen years, changing the variable every time the answer stayed the same. They never questioned the equation itself.This episode examines the Reiner case through a lens no one else is using — the parents' perspective. Not with the benefit of hindsight, but from inside the logic that made every decision feel rational in real time. From spending sixty thousand dollars a month on rehab while attending every family session personally, to publicly blaming the professionals who warned them their son was manipulating them, to bringing a visibly unstable Nick to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party because they were reportedly afraid to leave him home alone — every choice had its own internal coherence. And every choice moved them closer to the night of December 14th.Rob Reiner once told the LA Times he regretted listening to counselors with "diplomas on their wall" instead of trusting his son. Michele said the same. They reversed years of boundaries in a single public confession of guilt. When Nick was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, it gave them one more framework — illness, not character — that made staying close feel like the responsible thing to do. Seventy thousand dollars a month in psychiatric care. Their son in the guesthouse a hundred feet from their bedroom. And two parents serving as the only daily supervisors of a man the state had once deemed gravely disabled.Tony Brueski breaks down the psychology of enabling at its most devastating — when the enablers aren't negligent, but devoted.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerMurders #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeToday #Enabling #AddictionAndFamily #HollywoodMurder #BrentwoodCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 ABOUT THE EPISODE: When Campbell Manning's middle son entered detox the day before Valentine's Day, she genuinely believed he'd be "fixed" and home within a week. What followed instead was a years-long journey through both of her sons' addiction cycles that would ultimately transform her from a completely naive parent into a trained addiction counselor who now helps hundreds of families navigate the same treacherous terrain. Campbell brings both the raw authenticity of lived experience and the clinical expertise she's gained through extensive education plus real-world training with Amber Hollingsworth (Put The Shovel Down YouTube Channel) at Hope For Families Recovery Center. In this potent conversation, she speaks directly to the particular torture of watching your child actively harm themselves while grappling with decisions that feel impossible, like when her 14-year-old daughter confronted her about how much more "time, emotion, money, and energy" she was going to give to addiction. What I love is that Campbell's wisdom isn't theoretical; it's forged from setting boundaries that ended up with her sons leave home at 17, refusing to enable behavior that was metastasizing through her entire family system, and learning that "over-loving" your child can actually be the most deleterious choice you make. Her message offers genuine hope grounded in reality: both her sons are in long-term recovery, and she's built a thriving coaching practice helping parents understand that their child's willingness to change often arrives in fleeting moments, which means your preparation and readiness matters profoundly. You'll learn: How Campbell navigated the brutal reality of having two sons in active  addiction, including the crucial difference between heartbreak (first son) and fury (second son) in her emotional responses The concept of "tagging it on" and why your child must truly understand there's no one coming to rescue them before lasting change becomes possible Why disenfranchised grief - the kind that receives no casseroles, no sympathy cards, no community support, coagulates within families dealing with addiction and impacts every member, especially siblings How Campbell's daughter's confrontation about "how much more are you going to give addiction, Mom?" catalyzed her understanding that setting strong, healthy boundaries isn't abandonment, it's the most loving thing you can do when your child is drowning EPISODE RESOURCES:Hope For Families Recovery Center website Put The Shovel Down YouTube Channel This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Many people are saying the same thing lately: “I'm overwhelmed by everything.”In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores what overwhelm actually is from a neuroscience perspective. Is it just busyness? Or is something deeper happening in the brain?Drawing from research on the amygdala, stress hormones, working memory, and executive function, Molly explains how overwhelm is not about volume alone. It is about perceived overload and a loss of prioritization. When the brain detects too many competing demands and not enough resources, it shifts from organizing to alarming.This episode also revisits a recent WisdomWednesday quote about replacing “I'm overwhelmed” with “I need to decide what matters most and go slow.” Molly clarifies why that statement is directionally true but not neurologically instant. She explains how language influences prediction, prediction shapes physiology, and physiology drives behavior.What You'll LearnWhy overwhelm is a perception of overload, not simply busynessHow the amygdala flags cognitive threatWhat happens to the prefrontal cortex under stressWhy everything feels urgent when executive function is compromisedThe difference between descriptive and prescriptive thoughtsHow repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces neural prediction loopsWhy prioritization restores cognitive flexibilityHow cognitive reappraisal shifts neural activity over timeKey Concepts ExplainedPerceived Overload Overwhelm occurs when the brain interprets demands as exceeding available resources.Amygdala Activation When ambiguity, uncertainty, and competing priorities rise, the amygdala signals threat, increasing stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine.Executive Function The prefrontal cortex is responsible for planning, sequencing, prioritizing, and organizing. Under stress, its efficiency decreases.Descriptive vs Prescriptive Thinking Some thoughts label experience. Others shape future experience. Repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces prediction patterns that sustain the feeling.Cognitive Reappraisal Research shows that reinterpreting a situation increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases amygdala activation over time.Why Language MattersWhen you repeatedly say “I'm overwhelmed,” your brain begins scanning for confirming evidence. Increased vigilance raises stress. Stress reduces clarity. Reduced clarity reinforces overwhelm.Replacing that statement with a prioritizing phrase does not instantly shut down the alarm system. However, it recruits executive function and begins shifting neural activity toward organization and task-based thinking.Language guides prediction. Prediction guides physiology. Physiology guides behavior.Practical ReframeInstead of:“I'm overwhelmed.”Try:What matters most today?What is the next smallest step?What can wait?This is not positive thinking. It is restoring organizing capacity.Overwhelm signals that prioritization has collapsed. Prioritization is a skill that can be strengthened.Behavior Change ConnectionPeople often abandon habits when they feel overwhelmed, not because they lack discipline, but because executive function is compromised.You cannot build new neural pathways from a chronically alarmed state.Restoring order supports follow-through. ★ Support this podcast ★

What happens when a mother and daughter go no contact for four years — and actually find their way back? In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with authors Leslie and Lindsey Glass, co-creators of The Mother-Daughter Relationship Makeover: 4 Steps to Bring Back the Love and its companion workbook for lasting change. Together, we dive deep into addiction, recovery, enmeshment, control, accountability, anger, forgiveness, and the cultural rise of estrangement between mothers and adult daughters. Lindsey shares how her journey through addiction recovery, therapy, EMDR, Al-Anon, and deep self-inquiry helped her understand her role in the breakdown of their relationship. Leslie speaks candidly about micromanagement, control masked as care, and the painful realization that “helping” can sometimes feel like domination. We explore:• The epidemic of no contact in women • The difference between toxic danger and reactive pain• Negotiated separation vs. total cutoff• How addiction and family trauma distort memory and identity• Why anger is often unprocessed hurt• What real accountability looks like on both sidesThis isn't about blaming mothers or daughters. It's about doing the work. You can learn more about Leslie and Lindsey Glass, their books, articles, and resources at reachoutrecovery.com — where they offer over 2,000 articles on addiction recovery, mental health, and family healing. This is a conversation about self-discovery, letting go, and what becomes possible when both people are willing to evolve.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Addiction Series, Part 1: Separating fact from fiction.In this episode Joseph and Paula dig into one of the most important topics they explore on the show: addiction — what it really is, what it isn't, and why compassion matters so much. They break down common misconceptions, unpack the ongoing debate about whether addiction is a disease, and explore the many factors that contribute to it, including brain changes, genetics, trauma, environment, and social influences. Above all, the hosts emphasize that addiction is not a moral failing, but a complex human condition — and that recovery is absolutely possible.They will continue the conversation in the next episode as they look deeper into the important aspects of addiction, recovery, support, and what healing can truly look like.Do you have any questions?

Accidents ferroviaires mortels, tempêtes et inondations, pannes d'éléctricité : en Espagne et au Portugal les habitants doutent de l'état des infrastructures et de l'action des pouvoirs publics. La péninsule ibérique subit des catastrophes en série En Espagne Le pays reste marqué par les accidents ferroviaires survenus récemment, dont deux mortels : un sur une ligne à grande vitesse qui a fait 46 morts et un autre qui a tué un conducteur de train de banlieue en Catalogne. Hier mercredi (11 février 2026), troisième jour d'une grève des cheminots, le Premier ministre Pedro Sanchez s'est engagé à une communication transparente et à une enquête rigoureuse sur ces accidents. Il a aussi défendu les investissements de son gouvernement dans le ferroviaire, mais les usagers, eux, manifestent leur inquiétude. Reportage à Barcelone, Elise Gazengel. Au Portugal Ingrid, Joseph, Leonardo, Marta et Nils : c'est le cortège des dépressions atmosphériques qui s'abattent sur le Portugal depuis janvier 2026. Avec des rafales de vent de 140 à 200 km/h, elles ont ravagé le centre du pays, arrachant des arbres, des toitures, immobilisant les trains. Les inondations ont transformé une grande partie du pays en scène de dévastation. Mais l'impact de ces intempéries est aussi politique : les autorités auraient manqué de réactivité. À Lisbonne, les précisions de Marie-Line Darcy.     La revue des médias européens, avec Franceline Beretti  La « bromance » entre Friedrich Merz et Emmanuel Macron est finie, ironise la presse allemande ; Keir Starmer va-t-il tenir ? La presse britannique s'interroge ; les boulettes du directeur de la RAI aux JO poussent les journalistes de l'audiovisuel public italien à la grève.   Addiction au protoxyde d'azote En France, le gaz hilarant ne fait plus rire : c'est un fléau chez les jeunes, de plus en plus nombreux à l'inhaler. Il est disponible dans le commerce car il est utilisé en cuisine. Ses effets euphorisants sont désormais un facteur d'accidents de la route au même titre que l'alcool. Le Premier ministre souhaite voir son interdiction inscrite dans un projet de loi, car il provoque en outre des séquelles sur les nerfs et le cerveau.  Depuis deux ans, le professeur Christophe Riou a initié, dans un hôpital de la ville de Lyon, une téléconsultation destinée aux usagers inquiets qui n'oseraient pas pousser la porte d'un cabinet médical. Marie Casadebaig du service France de RFI l'a suivi.  Le Danemark a lui aussi été confronté ces dernières années à une hausse inquiétante de la consommation récréative du protoxyde d'azote. Mais le royaume scandinave a rapidement sévi, il est même précurseur en Europe dans la lutte contre cette addiction. Des restrictions sévères sont apparues dès 2020.  Les explications de notre correspondante dans la région Ottilia Férey.

What if your anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt isn't a personality flaw, but subconscious programming you picked up years ago? In this episode, I sit down with board-certified hypnotists Todd and Gina Goodwin to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface when you feel stuck.

Get ready to clear the subconscious patterns holding you back and move forward with effortless confidence. In This Episode You Will Learn Why ANXIETY, PROCRASTINATION, and ADDICTIONS are symptoms. How subconscious BELIEFS formed in childhood drive adult behavior. The difference between COMPULSIVE DRIVE and INSPIRED MOTIVATION. How trauma IMPRINTS in minutes and can be neutralized just as quickly. Why IDENTIFYING with your problem keeps you stuck. The science behind VISUALIZATION, emotional conditioning, and mental rehearsal. How to REWIRE negative associations and create empowering anchors. Why you may be overworking to compensate for LOW SELF-WORTH.

In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with Brenda Tate, a trailblazer whose 40-year career with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police unfolded at a time when few women wore the badge and even fewer Black women were in uniform. Tate reflects on breaking barriers in the 1970s while navigating racism, sexism, personal loss and addiction — experiences she chronicles in her memoir, “Journal of a Black Woman in Blue: Navigating Abuse, Addiction, Racism, and Society.” Her story offers a candid look at survival, service and what it takes to rebuild trust, purpose and identity in policing. Handpicked for both witness protection and dignitary protection, Tate earned the confidence of department leadership during some of Pittsburgh's most challenging years. She helped establish the city's witness protection unit amid escalating gang violence, applying both tactical skill and lived experience to protect vulnerable witnesses. Later, her work in dignitary protection placed her alongside presidents, world leaders and civil rights icon Rosa Parks — assignments that highlighted the quiet responsibility and professionalism behind the scenes. For Tate, these roles were more than career milestones; they affirmed that perseverance and accountability can redefine both reputation and self-worth.
