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. But when he lost his job due to alcohol still in his system, the truth began to unravel. Within a year, he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and came close to death. 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.

This episode of Big Blend Radio's “Books & Authors” Show with Books Forward features Rob Tonkin, author of the powerful memoir A**hole: Wild Stories of Trauma, Truths & Transformation (releasing July 21, 2025).   Known in the industry as “Rockin' Rob,” Tonkin began his radio career at 14 and later produced the two-decade-long Honda Civic Tour, working with top artists like blink-182, The Black Eyed Peas, and One Direction. But behind the glitz of the music world lay a personal story of pain, survival, and transformation. In this candid conversation, Tonkin shares what it took to face his childhood trauma—including sexual assault and the impact of a broken home—and how he found healing through self-reflection, therapy, and writing. He discusses the pressure on men to mask vulnerability, the effects of generational trauma, and the importance of emotional health, support groups like ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics), and self-care.

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!

Send one way text to Rev Rachel After 32 years together, Rich and I open our hearts to share the profound transformation of our relationship—a journey shaped by Soul Recovery, parenting through addiction, and rediscovering true partnership. As we celebrate Rich's one-year sobriety anniversary, we reflect on the subtle yet powerful shifts that have deepened our connection, moving away from control and quick fixes to create a foundation of safety where vulnerability can thrive. Rich shares how learning to truly listen and express his needs has allowed us to heal individually while growing closer together, revealing the beautiful paradox that the more we focus on our own soul recovery, the stronger our relationship becomes.

Send us a textOne of the promises of ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families) is that we go from being a reactor to an actor in our lives. This means taking a proactive approach to our lives rather than reacting to what is happening. It means that we are being thoughtful, giving conscious consideration to what's going on around us, and making conscious decisions instead of reacting based on habits or patterns from the past. This week's episode 305 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from reactor to responder: breaking free from old patterns!Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:The difference between reacting and responding, and why it's a significant paradigm shift in recovery. The role that awareness, decision-making, and learning to pause play in becoming a proactive person. Practical strategies for experimenting with different behaviors and getting feedback to determine what works best for you. Learning to view yourself as the solution, not the problem, and take empowered action towards the life you desire. Moving from being a reactor to a responder is a journey that requires patience and practice, but the rewards are immense. By becoming more aware, making conscious choices, and experimenting with new ways of being, you can break free from old patterns and start living a life of purpose and fulfillment. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

For many people, enjoying a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at a social gathering is a normal part of life. However, for those struggling with alcoholism, the idea of drinking in moderation is often an impossible dream. Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic condition characterized by an inability to control drinking despite negative consequences. This article explores why alcoholics can't drink in moderation, the science behind addiction, and inspiring stories of individuals who have embraced sobriety.Ready to quit drinking? Imagine, no more hangovers!
