Content warning: coercion, blackmail, extortion, abduction, kidnapping, slavery, sociopathy, psychopathy, intimate partner violence, and attempted murder. Megan is a loving family woman, equestrian, and survivor of abduction and attempted slavery born in Southern California. Although Megan spent many of her younger years growing her love for horses at her family's idyllic Colorado stable, her life prior was anything but calm. In fact, Megan was originally named Fallon Daniel, and on November 21st, 1985, Megan's birth father would attempt to extort $90,000 from the couple who would eventually adopt and raise her. After an unprecedented case that took the media by storm, Megan has joined us to share about all that's come next for her in her journey and healing. The Broken Cycle Media team is undeniably grateful for my friend's candor and advocacy, especially as this is the first time she's shared her story at-large. We are also grateful for Megan's mother, Susan, who was willing to join us for a short chat, which you will hear within this episode as well.  Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families https://adultchildren.org/ Andrea Ashley's Adult Child Podcast  https://www.adultchildpodcast.com/ Adult Child Podcast on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/adultchildpod Besser van der Kolk's books https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker https://www.pete-walker.com/complex_ptsd_book.html It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn https://markwolynn.com/it-didnt-start-with-you/ For additional resources and a list of related non-profit organizations, please visit http://somethingwaswrong.com/resources Thank you again to Green Chef for sponsoring this episode.

Brian Songer spent over 20 years as a functioning alcoholic—hiding his addiction from those around him and, at times, even from himself.

Thanks to a liver transplant—and God's grace—Brian's story didn't end there. In this episode, he shares his journey from secrecy and addiction to surrender and transformation. It's raw, honest, and full of hope.

If you have addicts and alcoholics in your life, you need to learn how to detach. If you don't, you may find yourself trying to force them to get sober and losing yourself in the process. Without the ability to separate yourself from their addiction and alcoholism, you can become obsessed with fixing them. You may find yourself feeling afraid and angry and wondering why you are not capable of convincing the person you care about to make better choices. If this sounds like you, watch this video to learn how to detach from the addicts and alcoholics in your life. #detachment  #detaching #dysfunctionalrelationship #addictionstruggles    Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9WYTfD8ZNCc

In this episode of the Sharing Without Shame podcast, host Donna Marston sits down with Barb Nangle, a former people-pleaser turned boundaries coach, who shares her deeply personal journey from codependency to empowerment. Barb opens up about a pivotal moment in her life when helping a homeless friend led her to hit a codependent bottom, ultimately guiding her into the world of recovery through Codependents Anonymous (CODA) and later Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACA). She describes the transformative impact of understanding codependency and relational trauma, and how discovering the concept of “reparenting” changed her life.As a podcast host herself, Barb brings heartfelt insight and wisdom, especially for those who find themselves over-giving, rescuing, or enabling loved ones—often under the guise of care. She unpacks the difference between healthy helping and unhealthy rescuing, shares tools for self-care, and explains how boundaries rooted in personal values can lead to emotional freedom. Whether you're a parent of someone in active addiction or someone struggling with boundaries, Barb's story offers a compassionate yet practical roadmap to healing and wholeness.Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/higherpowercoaching/Website: https://higherpowercc.com/Sponsors: Experience Inner Peace with Calming Therapy BraceletsWebsite: ⁠https://snappbandz.com/Use SWOS or SharingWithoutShame code Thank you for tuning in!

Quick question: how many brain cells would you happily trade for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc? Most of us would answer “none,” yet that is the quiet swap that takes place each time we drink. For decades, alcohol marketing painted scenes of witty toasts and genius writers crafting best-sellers with a tumbler by the keyboard. Reality tells a duller truth: MRI scanners now show measurable shrinkage of the brain in people who average one drink a day. Cognitive tests confirm slower learning and patchy recall.Ready to quit drinking? Imagine, no more hangovers!
