In this powerful episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives, joins the show from the Change Movement conference in California. The conversation centers around individuals who have left behind LGBTQ lifestyles and identities, often after profound encounters with faith and community. Dr. Morse describes the testimonies of several people who spoke on the steps of the California State Capitol—stories marked by deep personal transformation, a longing for family, and spiritual awakening. The discussion also touches on the societal shift in attitudes toward sexuality and gender over recent decades, the role of media in shaping cultural norms, and the challenges of speaking out in today's environment. She reflects on the early capture of institutions like the American Psychological Association by activist ideologies and explains how recent developments—especially around the transgender movement—are causing some to reconsider what was once seen as a “settled” cultural narrative.

Dr. Vaile Wright, Senior Director of the Office of Health Care Innovation in the Practice Directorate of the American Psychological Association takes us inside the intersection of innovation and mental health care. As one in twenty adults faces serious mental health challenges—and provider shortages persist—Wright explores how technology is stepping in to bridge the gap. She spotlights promising tools like AI that ease clinician burden when consumer tools blur the line between support and misinformation. This episode is a call to action for future healthcare leaders. With mental health needs at an all-time high, Wright emphasizes the need for bold thinking, ethical innovation, and compassionate leadership. 

I once believed that the worst thing that could happen to this country was to have a Conservative Supreme Court. That was supposed to be the end of everything. I would scream those words into the abyss all through 2016 to anyone who didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton, “THE SUPREME COURT.”I grew up on the Left, after all, and nothing scared us more than Christianity in our schools, in our corporations, institutions, and in our courts. If Trump won, he would appoint Conservative Christians to the highest court in the land, and that would be the end of Roe v. Wade, the end of the feminist movement, and women's rights.Well, it turns out, we didn't need Conservative Christians to do that. The Left did it all on their own, leaving just one right in place, the right to terminate a pregnancy, or, if you prefer, kill our babies. We use soft language like “choice” and “terminate” as though that changes the reality.Now that the Left has been assured that the pace of abortion did not slow down and women can use abortion like reproductive bulimia - have fun now, deal with the problem later - they've moved on to more pressing matters.I don't think abortion should be illegal. But you know what should be? “Gender-affirming care” for minors. That is the most grotesque example of soft language ever invented by my former side. Call it what it is - sterilization. Top surgery is a double mastectomy. Bottom surgery is castration.In all the ways I feared religion and Christianity infiltrating our schools and institutions has now been left in the dust by a dangerous, fanatical, unstoppable cult that has left too many young men and women destroyed and mutilated in its wake.What a fool I was. Now, I am so grateful for Conservative Christians. I'm so grateful to Donald Trump, who put them on the court. I am glad we lost, even if I didn't know that in 2016. Now I do. Now I can see.Because Hillary Clinton lost, we did not get control of the court. And thank God for that. Because if we had, there is no way the bill from Tennessee to ban “gender affirming care” would have been upheld.Like everyone else on my former side, I was convinced Trump's win in 2016 would end everything we held dear, especially the Supreme Court. We'd been fighting with the Right for years to get control of it. We watched Merrick Garland's appointment obstructed, and we fumed.After Trump won, we became an unhinged, hysterical, angry mob of women who felt it was our right to convict Justice Kavanaugh of rape in the court of public opinion.And to demonize and depict Amy Coney Barrett as the Handmaid.But what I know now that I did not know back in 2016 was that when a society excuses and allows for the young to be sterilized, that's when the bottom drops out, whether it's Eugenics or “gender affirming care.” I didn't see the problem. I was comfortable with the soft language of the Left. We were the good people standing up for marginalized groups.It took me years to realize just how insane the Left had become. But it's one thing if it's just about cancel culture, destroying Hollywood, comedy, art, and book publishing. It's a whole other thing if we're allowing irreversible harm to be done to the minds and bodies of children.But thankfully, God invented Conservatives and they rose to do what we could not, just as they did back before the Civil War to end slavery and for the same reason — they believed it was morally wrong. Now, they are back to stop the Democrats from doing something morally wrong. It's the Christian Right yet again that is on the right side of history.I'm not a religious person, though I wish I could be. I imagine there is relief in that connection to something more powerful than yourself, and maybe that is what so many of these young people need, not “gender-affirming care.” This de-transitioner realized she was made in God's image, which helped her find her way out.I always believed religion was dangerous and destructive. But whatever I thought about religion, and whatever the Left thinks about it now, it can't touch what madness has been manifested by the Left. Look at what they've done.Christianity, we all believed, was the source of bigotry against gays and lesbians. We wanted no part of that. I still don't. But today, I am grateful that they have been fighting this fight because I do not think we could have done it without them.Matt Walsh has been relentless. He's not only reported on the horrors of “gender-affirming care” on his show but also appeared in town halls and government, and helped push the fight in Tennessee to ban the practice. He deserves much credit today.It's ironic, isn't it, that it has been left up to many Conservative Christians to state biological reality. Growing up, I was on that side, and they weren't. Now, the Left has pulled so far into madness that the Conservative Christians are the more pragmatic side.They lock arms with independent thinkers who function as the sane middle, like Colin Wright, Andrew Doyle, Gays Against Groomers, Christina Buttons, and Peter Boghossian:The forces that oppose them are powerful, as this statement by the American Psychological Association shows. But the resistance forces are stronger.The Democrats are collectively too stupid to understand that this is not the hill to die on.The Climate of Fear This is a public episode.

Fear. Depression. Anxiety. Suicide ideation. How do we respond to the needs of what is now being called "the anxious generation"? According to the Center for Disease Control, over 1.5 million kids under the age of 17 take anti-anxiety medication, and 61% of college students are struggling with anxiety, according to the American Psychological Association. What are the physiological, psychological, social, and spiritual roots of these oppressive conditions? Join Dr. Lisa for part 3 of the High Anxiety series as she examines causes, effects, and considerations for raising a generation of emotion-regulating champions. Parents, you're not alone. There is hope for the next generation--and for our own generations--if we lean in to the wisdom of God's word. Education is discipleship. Who is discipling your children, and what habits of the heart are being construed as normal or necessary? Let's not conform to the pattern of this world; let's instead be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can know God's good and perfect and pleasing will.

Studies show that increased social media use is directly linked to lower self-esteem, higher anxiety, and even depression—especially among young adults and teens. The American Psychological Association reports that excessive social media consumption can distort our self-perception and increase feelings of inadequacy.But here's the truth: Social media is a tool—it's not the enemy. The real battle is how we use it and how we allow it to shape our sense of worth. So today, we're diving deep into the impact of social media on insecurity, and more importantly, how we can reclaim our confidence in Christ instead of the algorithm.

This episode is for the ambitious woman who's doing it all—and still feels like it's never enough. If you're listening while multitasking—folding laundry, answering emails, or in between Zoom calls—this one's for you. Dr. KimberlyDeSimone invites you to press pause on the pressure and unpack why we've lost the ability to truly rest. With research, real talk, and radical empathy, this episode explores: The blurred boundaries of remote work and why they're burning us out The myth of “productive breaks” and the science behind contaminated leisure The invisible labor women carry—and why it's so exhausting How rest can be resistance, recovery, and a reclaiming of your humanity A gentle, 3-step invitation to begin unlearning productivity as self-worth If you've ever felt guilty for resting, this episode offers both validation and a vision for a more sustainable model of success.

Grab your death metal albums and don't talk to the cops without a lawyer because today we're gaining a broader understanding of the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s and how it greatly impacted the case of the West Memphis ThreeIn part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas. We told you things the way that they seemed, now it's time to get into things the way that they actually were.In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it's origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning. We also include passages from Damien's book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.There's so much to unpack in this episode and this case!Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

Grab your your old cassette tapes, and your deepest sense of injustice, because today we're getting a broader understanding of the 1993 West Memphis Murders and the three little boys who never made it home.On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They'd get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It's not over.There's new evidence. There's new DNA. There's a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.In part one of this series, we're not starting with suspects. We're starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.(originally released in May of 2023, full sources available in show notes)Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

“All of this together shaped how I began to think about mind, not as something to be mastered, but as a landscape of the unspoken whether it was ghosts or griefs or desires that were hard to relinquish. I saw that the ghost was not always an ‘other'. It was often intimate, tied to lost ones, sometimes to unmet desires, to unbearable longings, but in some ways possession was an attempt to keep close what was slipping away. The ghost doesn't just haunt, it feels as if it wants something, and we just have to learn to develop ears to listen to what it wants.”  Episode Description: We acknowledge Loewald's concept of 'ghosts becoming ancestors' and consider the similarities and differences with those who hold 'ghosts' to be literal. Shalini shares with us her journey to open herself to the uncertainty and ambiguity of these externalized entities while appreciating both their cultural and intrapsychic sources. We learn of her family's involvement with exorcisms, especially her grandmother's "fearless warmth" and "empathy that saw beyond the terror of the ghosts." She considers the many facets of mind that are represented by 'ghosts' and the essential value of approaching them as guides to the "landscape of the unspoken." Shalini describes a long term engagement that she had with an individual who "taught me to receive the inchoate and horrific...to contain the brokenness and not interpret it away.. and to appreciate the glimpses of beauty in the most grotesque parts of self."   Our Guest: Shalini Masih, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and writer, grew up in India amidst priests and healers, witnessing spirit possession and exorcism. Now based in Worcestershire, UK, she holds a Master's degree in Psychoanalytic Studies from Tavistock & Portman, London, and a PhD from the University of Delhi. Mentored by psychoanalysts Michael Eigen and Sudhir Kakar, she's an award-winning scholar of the American Psychological Association. She has taught and supervised psychoanalytic psychotherapists in Ambedkar University, Delhi and in Birkbeck, University of London. Her acclaimed paper, 'Devil! Sing me the Blues', was nominated for Gradiva Awards in 2020.

Right now, most of us are feeling stress and anxiety. On top of everything else in our lives, the political chaos seems too much to bear. A 2024 survey from the American Psychological Association found that over 70% of adults consider the country's future a significant source of stress — and even though we're only four months into 2025, if our group chats are any indication, we're struggling now more than ever.At the same time, there's an epidemic of loneliness. Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued an official advisory about loneliness in 2023… turns out, it's not just bad for our mood, it's bad for our physical health too. People who are disconnected and lonely are twice as likely to die as people who have strong communities.The good news is, community connection can help with both of these problems! Not only do social bonds make us healthier and happier, political action is far more effective when done as a group. We all have different strengths and perspectives, and our friends can fill in the gaps when we need a break. In these chaotic and stressful times, community is more important than ever. It isn't just good for our hearts and minds, it's good for democracy. When women with shared values get together, there's no stopping us.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Providing performance feedback is one of the most challenging tasks leaders face. Feedback often sparks frustration and fear for both leaders and their teams. Why? Because there is a disconnect between what leaders think they are communicating and what employees receive. It's rooted in neuroscience and psychology research that we don't always apply effectively in the moment. EPISODE SUMMARY:WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:There are a lot of moving parts to provide effective feedback, including the content, valence, purpose of the message, the feedback recipient's characteristics, and the feedback provider's characteristics. In their new book, Performance Feedback Strategies, published by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), Drs. Nowack and Mashihi introduce a model of performance feedback coaching for leaders with structured exercises, techniques, and tips to help leaders become better performance coaches. After over a decade spent developing, testing, and refining their model with leaders around the world, they are now ready to share their four-part Performance Feedback Coaching Model, based on research in neuroscience and psychology, to help us all become better at providing performance feedback that is received well and translates into real behavior change. ***ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Dr. Kenneth M. Nowack is a licensed psychologist and Senior Research Officer of Envisia Learning, Inc., a global consultancy specializing in assessments and technology platforms. He serves on Daniel Goleman's Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations and recently served as Editor for the Consulting Psychology Journal.

Why are Black women still expected to carry everything without complaint? They keep telling Black women to be strong, to push through, to hold it all together. But what they never address is the damage that message leaves behind—mentally, physically, emotionally. The burnout, the silence, the pressure to succeed at the expense of our well-being. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still paying too high a price, you're not imagining it. You're navigating systems that were never designed with your safety in mind. In this special National Black Girl Month™ episode, you're invited into a powerful conversation with Dr. Vanessa Perry, global thought leader, psychologist, and CEO of The Perry Group. Alongside Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown, we explore what Superwoman Syndrome actually costs Black women—and how to stop carrying what was never ours to begin with. This episode answers the unspoken questions so many Black women ask themselves: Why do I feel like success is wearing me down? Is it possible to lead without losing myself? How do I reclaim peace when the world expects performance? Dr. Perry shares insights from over 25 years of research and executive advising in Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and high-level leadership spaces. Together, we discuss how to name the cycle, build supportive community, and create spaces—personally and professionally—where Black women no longer have to prove themselves to belong. This isn't just about workplace equity. It's about redefining what thriving looks like on our own terms. → Learn more and access your free toolkit at nationalblackgirlmonth.com → Join our virtual community: facebook.com/groups/nationalblackgirlmonth → Connect with Dr. Venessa Perry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/venessam/ → Connect with Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown: www.instagram.com/dr.rikesha → Connect with Felicia Ford: www.threads.net/@friendscallmefe Join Momentum Lab: https://lab.feliciafordandco.com About Dr. Venessa Perry: Dr. Venessa M.

In a world struggling to embrace the beauty, complexities, and possibilities of gender it's not surprising that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently called for more "masculine energy" in corporate America. His callous statement made on the Joe Rogan Experience has sparked controversy and ignited crucial conversations. His comments about masculinity suggest that corporate culture has become too "feminine" and that a "celebration of aggression" is needed.   This perspective perpetuates harmful stereotypes about what it means to be masculine, reinforcing toxic masculinity, which is a set of behaviors linked to violence, homophobia, and the devaluation of women. Recent research by the American Psychological Association reveals that toxic masculinity isn't just detrimental to workplace culture and inclusion efforts; it's also harmful to men themselves. This outdated model of masculinity limits emotional expression, promotes unhealthy competition, and restricts the full spectrum of human experience.   This podcast episode challenges Zuckerberg's narrow view and explores the concept of "multiple masculinities" – a framework that embraces diverse expressions of masculinity, including those that generously diverge from the limited behaviors that toxic masculinity prescribes.  By embracing a broader understanding of masculinity, organizational leaders can usher in a more inclusive and authentic leadership landscape that benefits people who express their genders in many different ways.   To delve deeper into this critical topic, host Rhodes Perry sits down with masculinity expert Adam Segal, founder and facilitator of New Masculinities Group. Adam is a dedicated advocate for critical conversations around gender, sexuality, and masculinity through an intersectional feminist lens. He brings a wealth of experience facilitating men's groups, conducting male accountability work, and promoting anti-racism efforts.    In this insightful conversation, Rhodes and Adam will explore: ---The limitations of traditional masculinity. Unpacking the harmful impacts of toxic masculinity on individuals, workplaces, and society as a whole. ---The power of multiple masculinities. Exploring the benefits of embracing a broader spectrum of masculine expressions, including those that challenge traditional norms. ---Creating a gender inclusive leadership landscape. Discussing how organizations can foster a culture that values diverse leadership styles and promotes gender equity. ---The role of men in advancing gender equality. Examining how men can actively contribute to creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all. ---Practical strategies for challenging toxic masculinity. Offering actionable steps that individuals and organizations can take to dismantle harmful norms and promote healthy expressions of masculinity.   Today's conversation is designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. This podcast episode offers a timely and crucial conversation about the future of leadership and the role of masculinity in building gender inclusive workplaces.

Navigating Blended Families with Dr. Patricia Papernow Blending families can be both rewarding and challenging. In this insightful episode, we welcome Dr. Patricia Papernow, one of the world's foremost experts on blended families, to discuss the unique dynamics and strategies for success in stepfamily relationships. Dr. Papernow is the author of several books on the topic and has received Distinguished Contribution awards from both the American Family Therapy Academy and the American Psychological Association.Together, we explore four key reasons why understanding stepfamilies is crucial:Stepfamilies are everywhere.The challenges are intense.What works is not intuitive.We know what works.Dr. Papernow emphasizes that stepfamilies operate differently from first-time families. In biological families, parents and children share a natural attachment and cultural expectations. In stepfamilies, however, step-parents and step-children do not have this hardwired bond, leading to five major challenges:Stuck Outsiders & Stuck Insiders:The biological parent-child bond remains the secure base, often leaving step-parents feeling ignored, invisible, or rejected.Parents may feel torn between their partner and their child.Solution: Recognize this dynamic as normal, allow time for adjustment, and ensure both children and partners receive one-on-one time.Kids Face Loss & Loyalty Binds:Research shows blending families can be harder on children than divorce.Children may struggle with numerous changes and conflicting loyalties between their parents and step-parents.Solution: Ease the transition by spending undivided quality time with children and respecting their emotions.Parenting vs. Step-Parenting:Parents should take on the disciplinary role, not step-parents.Step-parents often seek more structure, while biological parents lean towards nurturing.Solution: Step-parents should focus on connection before correction and adopt an "authoritative" parenting style that leads with warmth rather than control.Building a New Family Culture:Stepfamilies must integrate at least two existing family cultures.Mistakes are part of the learning process.Solution: Be open to negotiation, respect individual preferences, and embrace the process of "learning by goofing."Navigating Relationships with an Ex-Spouse:High parental conflict is toxic to children.Avoid fighting with or speaking negatively about an ex in front of the kids.Solution: Support your child's relationship with your ex for their well-being.For more invaluable insights, check out Dr. Papernow's books and visit her website at stepfamilyrelationships.com.Tune in to this episode for expert guidance on creating a thriving blended family!Thank you for supporting Linda's Corner!

In this special episode, Scott is joined by two legendary figures in social psychology: Dr. Elliot Aronson and his son, Dr. Joshua Aronson. At 93, Elliot Aronson remains a towering influence in psychology, known for pioneering the Jigsaw Classroom—a groundbreaking cooperative learning technique that reduces interethnic hostility and enhances learning. He is the only person in American Psychological Association history to receive all three of its major awards for research, teaching, and writing, including the prestigious William James Award for Lifetime Achievement. His son, Dr. Joshua Aronson, is a distinguished social psychologist and Associate Professor of Applied Psychology at NYU. His pioneering research on stereotype threat has reshaped our understanding of learning and performance under stress. As the director of the Mindful Education Lab, he leads efforts to improve psychological resilience and learning environments. Together, Elliot and Joshua co-authored The Social Animal, a seminal textbook in psychology. In this conversation, Scott, Elliot and Joshua explore this groundbreaking work, their personal journeys, and the lasting impact of their research on education, social behavior, and human psychology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
