Often, apps begin with noble intentions of “connection” or “education.” While they promise to be different, they inevitably resort to classic tactics for maximum engagement: streaks, coins, leaderboards, FOMO, and notifications. In this episode, Kelly uncovers this trend using Duolingo and Zigazoo as examples. This trend of app devolution is important for parents to understand. You may not be able to keep track of every app update, but you know your child, and you can recognize when something has changed.

In this episode, Lisa explores how addiction and compulsion extend far beyond substances to include any behavior that offers short-term relief at the cost of long-term freedom. Drawing on Gabor Maté's framework and her own lived experience, she unpacks how dieting, restriction, productivity, and people-pleasing can quietly become addictive coping strategies that create an illusion of safety and control. Lisa introduces the concept of “dieting addiction” and addiction transfer, explaining how food restriction can be just as reinforcing as overeating, and why these patterns can live in the brain as learned responses to stress. With raw honesty, she shares her own breakdown and eating disorder diagnosis, and broadens the lens to include socially rewarded addictions like caffeine use and workaholism. Topics Include:Compulsion and AddictionDieting and RestrictionAddiction TransferGrief, Slowing Down, and Support[0:56] Lisa begins this episode by checking in with herself the way she does with all of her guests. She shares her feeling of nervousness and excitement about recording the solo episode. Lisa realized she has approached her solo podcast series with a habitual sense of urgency to get to the end of her notes and finish the chapter. She describes the urgency as similar to the pressure one might feel to lose weight quickly, even when there's no real timeframe.[8:05] Lisa explains that her current intentional weight loss experience has triggered memories and trauma from her previous extreme weight loss. For Lisa to properly convey the depth and gravity of her current experience, she feels it's essential to first provide the context of her past struggles with dieting addiction.[14:41] Lisa presents a model comparing the physical actions of dieting with the psychological rewards. Lisa explains that on the surface, it looks like discipline and willpower, but psychologically, it can be an addiction where the person feels they can't not engage in the behavior out of fear. Lisa talks about how this demonstrates how the brain can equate not eating with stress relief and safety, making it difficult to stop dieting even when consciously desired.[29:48] Lisa explains that proponents of intuitive eating argue that food addiction isn't real, as addictive-like behaviors are often a direct result of either physical or mental restriction. Lisa partially agrees but maintains that for some, including herself, the behavior is a byproduct of the hippocampus storing the memory that food alleviates stress, making it a "drug of choice" independent of dieting. [50:31] Lisa discusses  that one doesn't need to have a formal diagnosis to address addictive behaviors and reclaim personal power. The key is to pay attention to the relationship with a behavior, not the behavior itself. Lisa explains that addiction is present when you feel you can't not do something, rather than choosing to do it freely.[54:48] Lisa talks about how society rewards other addictive behaviors, such as extreme weight loss and workaholism, creating "high-functioning" addicts who appear successful but are internally struggling. Lisa explains that creating safety often requires slowing down, which may mean accomplishing less. [1:12:18] Lisa closes this episode by discussing grief in the process and how one may need to grieve the identity of being a person who "does it all" to prioritize well-being. She compares the process to sitting shiva and when grieving old habits or identities, it is valid to allow oneself to be supported and cared for by others.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Okay, confession time

"You're really eating DEAD food, and the body wants real nutrition food that it recognizes." If you've ever made a New Year's resolution to eat healthier only to fail by February... if you've ever felt like healthy food is too expensive, too hard, or too restrictive... this episode changes everything. Dr. Terri sits down with Deborah (owner of a local farm-to-table restaurant in DFW) for one of the most practical and eye-opening conversations about food you'll ever hear. From Dr. Terri's insider experience with RFK Jr.'s transition team in DC to the truth about why you can't stop eating certain foods - this isn't your typical "eat more vegetables" advice. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why the chemicals in processed food are designed to be ADDICTIVE (and how to break free) → The truth about "healthy" protein bars (spoiler: they're almost always made with seed oils) → Why you eat an entire bag of regular chips but feel satisfied after a handful of the RIGHT chips → What Dr. Terri learned working with Bobby Kennedy's team on food industry reform → The new dietary guidelines coming out (they're flipping the pyramid on its head) → How to keep your favorite crunchy, salty, sweet foods while actually getting healthier → Why so much of what we eat is completely subconscious (hand to mouth without thinking) → The simple "shop the perimeter" strategy that changes everything THE TOP 3 CHANGES TO MAKE RIGHT NOW: 1. Switch to Whole Foods (it's simpler than you think) 2. Skip the Seed Oils (this alone will transform your health) 3. Drop Your Sugar & Become Conscious (awareness is everything) --- TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Controversial Intro 1:30 - Is healthy eating really hard? 5:45 - "You're eating dead food" 8:20 - Why chemicals create addictive habits 12:40 - The truth about protein bars and seed oils 18:30 - Dr. Terri's work with RFK Jr.'s transition team 23:15 - Shopping the perimeter strategy 28:45 - Start your mornings with protein 35:20 - The new dietary guidelines (pyramid flip) 42:10 - Why you can't stop eating processed foods 48:15 - The chip hack that changed everything 52:30 - Top 3 tips to take away 55:40 - Tallow chips and healthy alternatives revealed 58:20 - Keep your crunchy, hedonistic habits (the right way) --- • Deborah's Restaurant (DFW Area) https://www.james-provisions.com/ --- SUBSCRIBE for more episodes exploring health, wellness, and the topics that actually matter.

We've all heard the dramatic claims about food being “as addictive as drugs,” but a new EEG study offers a much clearer, more grounded look at what's actually happening in the brain.In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas, breaks down research comparing brain activity in lean adults, adults with obesity, and people with alcohol addiction... and what this reveals about cravings, overeating, and reward.More importantly, we explore how the language we use (addiction, disease, willpower) shapes people's beliefs about change. Because the way we interpret our struggles can either open the door to behavior change… or quietly shut it.Watch full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2jWOfRo8o7gConnect with me on Instagram! Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST]LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

What if your phone was never meant to serve you at all? Writer and researcher Shannon Rowan returns to The Healthier Tech Podcast to break down the uncomfortable truth behind modern technology. Drawing from her latest book The Red Shoes, Shannon explains why today's devices behave less like tools and more like addictive systems engineered to hijack attention, behavior, and health. This conversation goes far beyond screen time tips. In this episode, we explore: The chilling metaphor of The Red Shoes and how it explains digital addiction and loss of control Why infinite scroll, notifications, and pull to refresh are modeled after slot machines How dopamine driven design rewires the brain and undermines focus, empathy, and decision making Why tech addiction mirrors substance abuse and why experts compare smartphones to cocaine and heroin The physical consequences of constant device use, especially for children A disturbing hospital case that raises questions about EMFs and infant health The hidden environmental cost of modern tech, from lithium mining to data centers and AI Why green tech and electric vehicles may not be as clean as advertised How tech erases boundaries between work, rest, and relationships Simple, realistic boundaries that can dramatically reduce stress and digital overwhelm This episode challenges the idea that faster, smarter, and more connected automatically means healthier. If you have ever felt anxious, overstimulated, distracted, or uneasy about the direction technology is heading, this conversation will change how you see your devices.

Does every podcast need a lesson, or can a good story be enough? In today's evaluation, we examine Shared Delights, a short-form storytelling podcast designed to offer warmth, humor, and a brief escape. Instead of aiming for transformation or instruction, the show focuses on how a story feels in the moment and what it gives the listener emotionally. Using Shared Delights as a case study, we take a close look at how pacing, pauses, and delivery shape clarity and attention. We explore sound design choices and how music and effects can either support the story or pull focus away from it. We also talk about the balance between structure and spontaneity, and why alignment between intention, sound, and presentation matters more than polish alone. Just a reminder: entertainment and escapism are valid podcast goals. This episode invites podcasters to listen to their work the way their audience does and consider how each choice shapes the experienceEpisode Highlights:[02:18] Empowered Podcasting Conference announcement[04:38] Evaluation of the Shared Delights podcast[06:32] Listener feedback and early suggestions[14:00] Cover art and branding discussion[30:42] Crafting an enticing show title[32:47] The importance of pacing and clarity[36:58] Enhancing the experience with sound design[49:31] Discoverability and growth strategiesLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Shared Delights (Wedding Crasher): https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pfvQbyTC2J4j7f07RlgTb?si=DAciGVe4TRqSeyq5Glnb3wShared Delights Naked Eureka: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2gIMkfSyZDCZb07Jzzlx5pPodpage: https://www.podpage.com/?via=ironickmediaMatthew Bliss' Cover Art Revision #1: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wwqru8i9ovo0dzc69pba8/SharedDelights_CoverArt.jpg?rlkey=q0da5tpxr6sufk9fhqp3lu14j&st=xniphsrv&dl=0Cover Art Revision #2: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/djp3p40uzi6bl1xm8sxlc/SharedDelights_CoverArt2.jpg?rlkey=3kjin994w8ci4qckkulql4ewb&st=ez35nof5&dl=0To Have Your Podcast Considered For Evaluation, Please Complete This Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45URemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Self-hatred is characterized by a critical voice that goes beyond constructive evaluation. It operates visibly and invisibly and can be transmitted between generations. It doesn't work to try to paste self-love on top of self-hatred. There's a spiritual idea that the universe, including negative manifestation, exists for God's entertainment. Forms of self-hatred may involve high achievement, romantic masochism, shyness, imposter syndrome, persistent anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing, and grandiosity. Origins of self-hatred include emotional neglect and abuse. Addictive behavior regenerates self-hatred. With self-hatred, the three roles of the drama triangle (victim, abuser, rescuer) can show up in one person. Self-hatred takes so much energy that battling with it can seem to be the point of life. In Buddhist psychology, it's said that we spin our perception of reality into existence and that our natural state is stillness but we get bored with it. Things happen in life that allow the truth of reality to break through. Recognizing self-hatred is key to learning to move beyond it. Self-doubt can kill our impulses so we don't risk getting hurt again. Every neurotic manifestation has a flip side. Self-hatred can start us on a path of seeing ourselves more clearly. It unravels with self-acceptance. Self-observation is more than just mental analysis; it involves feeling what is going on in the body. In meditation we learn to be present and see ourselves more clearly. Humility and restraint can be upsides of self-hatred. A component of self-hatred is cultural. There is a certain tension that is necessary—a struggle between yes and no—on the path of transformation. Taking a step back, gaining perspective, and humor are helpful in working with self-hatred. Idiocy is part of the human condition. Bandhu Dunham is the author of Creative Life and an internationally recognized glass artist and teacher.

Can the government regulate social media features because they are “addictive”? Eugene Volokh and Jane Bambauer talk with Emory Law professor Matthew Lawrence about whether features like infinite scroll, personalized feeds, “near-miss” reward patterns, and dopamine-driven engagement tactics are comparable to gambling or even drug addiction — and whether that means the government can step in. The conversation digs into current lawsuits, whether there's a constitutionally significant difference between content and design, how addiction is defined in law and neuroscience, and what First Amendment limits exist when regulating digital platforms. A smart, fast-moving discussion for anyone curious about the future of free speech, tech regulation, and the psychology behind our screens. Subscribe for the latest on free speech, censorship, social media, AI, and the evolving role of the First Amendment in today's proverbial town square.

Is cheese really addictive? According to Dr. Neal Barnard, the answer is a resounding YES. The brain reacts nearly identically to cheese as it does narcotics and alcohol. While it sounds shocking, these claims are backed by science. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll sits down with the author of The Cheese Trap to uncover how opioid-like compounds concentrated in cheese—activate powerful pleasure pathways, why U.S. cheese consumption has exploded to nearly 40 pounds per person per year, and how the dairy industry keeps us hooked. You'll discover: • The opiate chemistry of cheese • How cheese contributes to obesity and diabetes • The link between dairy hormones and breast cancer • Why kids are showing early artery damage • Which cheeses contain the highest casomorphin levels • The surprising role of sodium and saturated fat • How quitting cheese can dramatically improve health If you've ever said, "I could go vegan except for cheese," this is an episode you cannot miss.

Ever fantasized about getting even? You're not alone — and it turns out revenge isn't just satisfying… It's literally addictive. Clinical psychologists Bill Roman & Dan Schaefer dive deep into: Why revenge triggers the same dopamine rush as cocaine How harboring resentment is a "behavioral addiction" (new brain science!) The dark reason Hollywood revenge movies (John Wick, Kill Bill, Gladiator) make billions Why "venting" your anger actually makes it worse The one thing that finally breaks the cycle: forgiveness (and it's harder than it sounds) If you've ever replayed "that moment" in your head, chopped wood while imagining someone's face, or cheered when the bad guy finally gets it — this episode is for you.

Whether it's pizza, chocolate, ice cream or French fries, you've no doubt noticed that your favourite guilty pleasure food just seems to be so addictive! You start eating and you just can't stop. Why is that then? Actually, it's because of their high sugar, fat or salt content. Unfortunately, some highly processed foods contain a combination of all three. That can lead to a dopamine surge, which is sometimes as strong as what people get from nicotine. The taste, texture, or composition of these addictive foods activate the reward system and make us want to eat them over and over. We're no longer eating out of hunger, but due to a craving for instant pleasure. Are there any studies on the subject? How on earth can we tell the difference between indulgence and addiction then? What should I do if I feel addicted to a type of food? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

On this episode of "Top in Tech" Megan Stagman, Jessica Mills, and Verity Freeman explore the evolving landscape of online safety, and explore how countries are breaking away from the 'Brussels effect'. They unpack the impact of geopolitical dynamics, such as the Trump administration's stance against European digital rules, and how this creates new space for other countries ranging from Australia to Brazil, to come forward with new platform regulation proposals rather than simply following the EU's lead. The discussion spans where regulation goes next in adapting online safety frameworks to the age of AI, as well as what happens when consumer protection meets online safety in the EU. Hosted on Acast.

Time to put the myth in the grinder and talk about what the evidence really shows. Billy follows up with UK Medical Cannabis Awareness Month, where campaigners, clinicians, and industry heads are finally pushing together to build momentum. Big names are talking, but whether anything moves in the UK… well, that's always the question. Margaret brings us a fun one from the research world: smell, not potency, is the best predictor of what people actually choose. Shocking absolutely no one who has ever stuck their nose in a jar and made a decision on instinct. Margaret also looks at Canada and a tourism wave that's waiting to explode, but only if regulators stop tripping over their own shoelaces. There's huge potential, but the rules need to grow up a bit first. And John wraps things up with an unexpected twist in the U.S.: a new GOP-backed bill that aims to reverse the hemp-derived THC ban Trump literally just signed into law. Yes, you read that correctly.  A lively mix this week, science, politics, policy, tourism, and the usual roller-coaster logic that comes with trying to regulate a plant.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!Addictive traits aren't bugs, they're features.When I first got sober, I was terrified I'd become boring.No more adrenaline. No more chaos. Just… normal life.I thought I'd be the “square dad” mowing the lawn in tucked-in polos while everyone else was still out living. What I learned was the opposite. Addiction didn't kill my personality, it just hijacked it. The same intensity, obsession, and risk-taking that once burned my life down are now the same traits that built it back up. In this episode, I'm proving that your edge doesn't disappear in recovery, it actually sharpens.I talk about everything I've done since getting sober: parties, snowboarding, fitness, business, raising kids, pranks, coaching, music, even officiating weddings. My life was getting started when I thought it was over.The energy never left. It just changed shape.If you've ever wondered whether you can still be fun, wild, or interesting without substances, this one's your answer.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

He candidly shares his struggles with sin, the healing of family relationships and the inside story of his rise in the music scene including his collaboration with Carrie Underwood on "If It Was Up to Me." If you or someone you love needs a reminder that God still changes lives, this is the conversation you can't miss!

A new study is making headlines — not because kids are on screens too much, but because many can’t stop. Dr Justin Coulson unpacks fresh research linking addictive screen use (not screen time itself) with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts in teens. Learn what “addiction” really means, why it’s not an official diagnosis, and how to protect your child without constant conflict. KEY POINTS The latest data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study shows addictive patterns of screen use — not hours online — are tied to poorer mental health. “Addictive” use means kids feel distress when not online, use screens to regulate emotions, or can’t stop even when it causes problems. There’s no official “screen addiction” diagnosis, but the behaviour patterns are real — and concerning. Justin shares practical strategies using the Three E’s of Effective Discipline to reduce conflict and foster healthy habits. Real-life example: how the Coulson family handled screen boundaries with collaboration, not control. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Time on a device isn’t the problem. It’s when kids can’t stop that their mental health starts to suffer.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, JAMA Psychiatry, June 2024 Screen "addiction" and mental Health - Technosapiens Tools: Freedom App, Forest App, Brick, Unplug Childhood Framework: The Three E’s of Effective Discipline (Explore, Explain, Empower) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have a calm conversation about how and why your child uses screens. Model mindful use — show your own limits and honesty about the struggle. Create structure, not punishment — consistent times, agreed limits. Watch for red flags like irritability, secrecy, or big emotions when screens are removed. Offer alternatives — list 10+ enjoyable non-screen activities your child can choose from.

What if the ways we keep getting stuck in relationships aren't just bad habits, but the natural outworking of how we're wired to bond—and to protect ourselves from pain? In this episode of Typology, I sit down with psychologist and couples counselor Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby (a freshly discovered Seven with an Eight wing) to talk about the intersection of attachment, addiction to love, and the Enneagram. We explore why love itself can feel addictive, how that longing for connection sometimes binds us to the wrong person or pattern, and why recovery communities often work—they help us reattach to what's good, true, and life-giving. Along the way we dig into common Enneagram pairings, the myth of perfect compatibility, and the real gift of learning to honor differences, see blind spots, and practice repair. If you've ever wondered why you tend to chase, withdraw, fix, or move on too quickly—and how to love with more courage and steadiness—you'll find this conversation both practical and deeply hopeful.   ABOUT DR. LISA MARIE BOBBY Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby is a licensed marriage and family therapist, psychologist, board certified coach and author of Exaholics: Breaking Your Addiction to an Ex Love.  She is the founder of Growing Self Counseling and Coaching, an internationally recognized practice focused on love, happiness, and success. With over 120K monthly podcast downloads on Love, Happiness, and Success, she offers expert advice on relationships, personal development, and professional growth. Dr. Bobby has been featured in Oprahdaily.com, The New York Times, CNBC, Women's Health, and Real Simple, making her a trusted authority in the media on all things love, life design, and self-improvement.

When it comes to raising teenagers in today’s digital world, parents often face this big question: “Should my teenager have a phone?” It’s about safety, responsibility, and protecting kids from the bad corners of the internet. On The Patrick Madrid Show, a young listener named Jacob from Massachusetts calls in with a bold request. His parents had told him that if Patrick gave the green light, they’d buy him a phone. So, what is Patrick’s advice? Smartphones vs. “Dumb Phones” Patrick says that if Jacob had asked for an iPhone or Android, the answer would have been a resounding “no.” Why? Because, as Patrick put it, “Handing a 14-year-old a smartphone is like giving him a stick of dynamite.” The dangers are real: -Easy access to inappropriate content -Predators who target young teens online -Addictive apps like TikTok and Snapchat -A constant stream of distractions that interfere with school, prayer, and family life Instead, Patrick recommends what he calls a “dumb phone” – a device designed for communication, but without the traps of social media or unrestricted internet access. Safe Alternatives for Teens Patrick gives Jacob a few options worth considering: Flip Phones (Charity Mobile)These simple phones make calls and send texts but offer little else. Patrick praises the show sponsor Charity Mobile, a Catholic-owned provider that offers flip phones while donating a portion of every bill to pro-life and Catholic charities. They do allow limited access to internet, which would be great for Jacob when he's a bit older. Gabb PhoneSpecifically built for kids and teens, the Gabb Phone looks like a smartphone but comes without an internet browser, app store, or social media. Parents get peace of mind, and kids get freedom to call and text. The Light PhoneThis sleek, minimalist phone allows calls, texts, directions, music, alarms, and notes – but nothing more. There's no Instagram, YouTube, or web surfing. It’s designed for people who want to stay connected without falling into digital overload. Each of these options provides what Patrick believes every teen needs: a way for parents and kids to stay in touch in case of emergencies – without opening the door to unnecessary temptations. A Catholic Approach to Parenting in the Digital Age Parents face an uphill battle. On one hand, kids need a way to call home after sports practice or text if there’s a problem. On the other hand, unrestricted digital access can undermine their spiritual, mental, and emotional growth. Patrick’s advice to Jacob shows a balanced approach: -Safety first. Phones should protect, not endanger. -Limited freedom. Give kids responsibility gradually. -Family values. Choose options that align with Catholic teaching and protect innocence. By starting with a Gabb Phone, Light Phone, or flip phone, parents can help their children build healthy habits before eventually upgrading – if and when they’re ready for the responsibility. For Catholic families, the lesson is clear: give your teen a safe tool, not a digital temptation. The goal is about helping them grow in virtue.
