    Many people push others away while desperately craving connection. Others battle chronic pain, digestive issues, or autoimmune conditions that seem to have no clear cause. But why is this? The answer often lies in unresolved childhood attachment trauma, specifically the experiences we had before we had words to make sense of them. This is why someone can have what looks like a good childhood but still struggle with anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, or autoimmune issues as an adult. The body remembers what the mind has forgotten. In this episode, Dr. Aimie breaks down the biology of early emotional pain and how it becomes stored in the body as chronic symptoms later in life. You'll discover the six core attachment wounds, why the body learns to stay in survival mode, how unresolved early trauma shapes your nervous system, immune system, and relationships in adulthood,  and most importantly, how to become your own safe person. You'll learn: [2:08] Why babies need to be held to survive and what happens when they're not [8:45] How to recognize if "it's not safe to relax" is your core attachment pattern [11:35] The health impacts of early attachment trauma [15:20]How fear becomes stored in the body as inflammation and chronic illness [20:49] The six core attachment wounds that shape our nervous system and relationships [25:30] How childhood wounds create the belief "I'm not capable" and lead to chronic overwhelm [30:08] The surprising link between people-pleasing and chronic pain [32:45] How brain fog, histamine intolerance, and depression can stem from attachment wounds [37:50] The three-phase roadmap to safely heal stored trauma in the body Whether you're someone living with unexplained chronic health issues or a practitioner supporting clients who seem stuck, this episode will help you understand the deep connection between childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and adult symptoms and what it really takes to heal.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

    We are happy to welcome Ashley Harding to the podcast this episode. Ashley is a fourth-generation educator and is deeply committed to educational equity. She holds degrees from USC and Tufts University in Child Development, and her career spans more than a decade, during which she has supported students and families in private and independent schools and contributed to global education initiatives in South Africa and Belize. Formerly the Director of External Engagement for a national school network, she has co-authored research on disparities affecting Black and Latino males and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. Through her organization, North Star Academics, and her roles with BEAN and CHADD, Ashley empowers students with evidence-based strategies and advocates for those with learning differences. Ashley discusses how parents can reframe the summer from a "deficit mindset" to an "opportunity mindset" for their children, stressing the importance of balance and allowing students time for rest, rejuvenation, and exploration of their interests outside of academics. She explains that while academic growth is incredibly important during the school year, the summer months provide a critical window for students to develop their identity, independence, and executive functioning skills, and she encourages parents to avoid overwhelming children with intensive academic programs and instead focus on activities that build upon confidence, self-reflection, and a sense of belonging. Our conversation highlights the need for families (both parents and students) to take time for rest and reconnection over the summer, with Ashley suggesting a plan that gradually transitions from unstructured free time in June to more purposeful activities in July and August, such as previewing curriculum, reviewing foundational skills, and setting new goals for the upcoming school year. We also discuss the importance of real-world learning experiences such as cooking, budgeting, and travel, which can naturally reinforce academic concepts while also nurturing executive functioning abilities. Ashley stresses the importance of allowing children, especially older ones, the freedom to explore their interests and discover their passions during the summer months. This episode of the show provides a thoughtful and balanced approach to supporting students' overall development during the summer break, with a focus on building upon resilience, independence, and a renewed sense of purpose for the next academic year! Show Notes: [3:03] - Ashley Harding highlights summer as a time for rest and emotional integration after academic growth. [5:53] - Ashley points out how colleges tend to value well-roundedness, which begins with developing personal interests as early as middle school. [8:12] - Especially post-COVID, students and families need rest to recover from years of ongoing emotional exhaustion. [10:27] - Ashley believes that June should involve winding down, celebrating growth, and gently preparing for the next school year. [13:10] - Immediate academic intensity post-school year can overwhelm neurodivergent kids in need of rest. [14:20] - Ashley urges families to teach kids balance by allowing rest as an act of resistance. [17:02] - Summer is such an important time for families to rest, reconnect, and nurture mental health together. [18:12] - Children ultimately model behavior from parents, so truly resting teaches them balance over productivity. [22:14] - Ashley argues that fun, low-pressure activities such as cooking can help kids grasp and retain math concepts more effectively. [24:17] - Ashley likes reminding families to do as much real-world, practical learning as possible. [27:37] - Kids may need more sleep and rest, but they do still benefit from consistent routine and structure. [29:20] - Summer offers kids space for self-reflection and growth beyond just grades and academic pressure. [31:35] - Ashley points out how summer is ideal for reinforcing key executive functioning skills like memory, time management, and planning. [33:36] - Allowing kids to self-monitor can help build confidence and resilience. [36:44] - Unstructured time helps parents rediscover their children and builds upon a deeper sense of belonging at home. [39:23] - Summer is such a gift because it offers time to reconnect, regroup, and learn more about your growing child!

    Welcome to The Every Day Royalty Podcast! In today's episode, titled "Be Still and Know: Coping Skills and Spiritual Rest," our host Keri Kitchen is joined by her rapid-response prayer team—Crista Hoffman and Debbie Reeves—for a heartfelt and laughter-filled conversation about finding true rest in God's presence. Together, they dive deep into the meaning of Psalm 46:10—“Be still and know that I am God”—sharing personal stories, struggles with anxiety, and practical ways to combat the stress and overwhelm of daily life. The ladies discuss not only the significance of spiritual rest but also how it impacts our physical and emotional well-being, drawing on both personal and professional experiences, including Debbie's perspective as a therapist. You'll hear candid reflections on coping skills, the importance of connecting with God and each other, the role of gratitude and worship, and the need to intentionally create space for stillness regardless of life's chaos. Sprinkled with anecdotes, humor, and encouragement, this episode is both a spiritual recharge and a practical toolkit for anyone craving peace in a busy world. Plus, stick around to hear highlights about Debbie's new book and YouTube Channel “Nana Feeding the Heart” and Crista's ministry “Savor the Word”—each offering unique ways to feed your soul. Whether you're looking for inspiration, Scripture-based reassurance, or just the feeling of sitting at the table with a circle of prayerful friends, this conversation is for you.   PRAYER JOURNALING PROMPTS:  Reflect on Psalm 46:10 (“Be still and know that I am God”). What does this verse mean to you in your current season of life? How has it shown up in ways you didn't expect? Describe a recent time when you struggled to find rest—physically, emotionally, or spiritually. What symptoms did you notice in your body, mind, or soul that signaled you weren't at peace? What practical steps can you take to be more intentional about “being still” and reconnecting with God, especially when anxiety or overwhelm creeps in? Have you experienced a moment where a Scripture or encouraging word “popped up” repeatedly in your life? What do you think God was trying to show you through that repetition? Consider your support system. Who are the people you can count on to pray with or for you? How can you be more intentional about plugging into that community? When do you feel most disconnected from others or from God? What does your “relational circuit” look and feel like when it's turned off, and how do you turn it back on? Think about a time when worship, music, or gratitude helped calm your anxious thoughts or physical stress. Describe that experience and the difference it made for you. What spiritual “coping skills” do you use to handle anxiety or worry? How do you incorporate God's word, prayer, or praise into these moments? Reflect on a humorous, gentle, or unexpected way God has answered your prayers, corrected you, or spoken to you. How did this impact your faith? How has resting in God, and placing your trust in Him, changed the way you approach challenges or transitions in life? Where do you need to be reminded to “let us plug in so He can fill your cup”? Use these prompts to dive deeper into your journey with God and to recognize both the challenges and the beauty in learning to “be still.”   Debbie's Updates: Guarding Your Heart: Your body is a living vessel: Body, Mind and Spirit https://www.amazon.com/Guarding-Your-Heart-living-vessel/dp/B0CJ3VVVSM YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NanaFeedingTheHeart Crista's Updates: Savor the Word: https://savortheword.org

    Why do some people develop PTSD after trauma while others recover? What if it's not about the trauma itself, but the state of your nervous system when it happens? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined again by Matt Bush, founder of Next Level Neuro and a lead educator in the Neurosomatic Intelligence program, for a deep dive into the latest PTSD research and how it's reshaping what we know about trauma, memory, and healing. We explore how traumatic memories start out as broad fear associations, and why the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are essential for integrating those experiences into coherent, time-specific memories. We break down the overlap between PTSD and CPTSD, how trauma affects neurodevelopment in childhood and adulthood, and why nervous system regulation is essential for trauma recovery. You'll learn how practices like somatic movement and proprioceptive training build the brain's capacity to reprocess fear, improve emotional regulation, and create real, lasting change. This episode offers a powerful reframe: healing trauma isn't about reliving the past, it's about training the nervous system to safely reintegrate it. Topics discussed in this episode: ● Why PTSD doesn't depend on the event itself ● How fear memories are stored in the brain ● The role of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex ● Differences between PTSD and complex PTSD ● How anxiety disrupts fear memory integration ● The brain's adaptive outputs: what symptoms really mean ● Why CPTSD is rooted in relational trauma ● Cerebellum's surprising role in emotional regulation ● Somatic tools to activate memory integration ● How movement helps rewire trauma responses ● Creating safety for nervous system reintegration Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://www.neurosomatic.com/leadership Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 Connect with Matt Bush: https://www.nextlevelneuro.com/ FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

    “I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.

Story Transcript:Sv: På det stora kontoret i centrala Stockholm, där höga fönster släppte in det varma ljuset från en strålande sommardag, satt Sven.En: In the large office in central Stockholm, where tall windows let in the warm light of a brilliant summer day, sat Sven.Sv: Han var en av de många anställda vid det öppen-planskontoret som arbetade hårt, men med en tyngd av oro i sitt hjärta.En: He was one of the many employees at the open-plan office working hard, but with a weight of worry in his heart.Sv: Det var midsommarvecka, och medan staden utanför förberedde sig för festligheterna, kände Sven bara en stigande stress.En: It was midsummer week, and while the city outside prepared for the festivities, Sven felt only rising stress.Sv: Han hade länge förberett en projektidé som han skulle presentera under dagens kontorspresentation.En: He had long prepared a project idea that he would present during the day's office presentation.Sv: Detta var hans chans att visa alla, speciellt sin chef och den krävande Anna, vad han verkligen gick för.En: This was his chance to show everyone, especially his boss and the demanding Anna, what he was really capable of.Sv: Sven kastade en nervös blick mot klockan.En: Sven cast a nervous glance at the clock.Sv: Presentationen skulle börja om en timme.En: The presentation would begin in an hour.Sv: Hans händer var klibbiga av svett, och det kändes som om hans hjärta slog för fort.En: His hands were sticky with sweat, and it felt as if his heart was beating too fast.Sv: Desperat att hitta en lösning på sin stigande ångest, begav han sig till pausrum.En: Desperate to find a solution to his mounting anxiety, he headed to the break room.Sv: Det lilla rummet var tyst, fyllt med mjuka fåtöljer och ett lugnande ljus.En: The small room was quiet, filled with soft armchairs and calming light.Sv: Där stötte Sven på Oskar, en vänlig kollega han litade på.En: There Sven met Oskar, a friendly colleague he trusted.Sv: "Oskar, jag vet inte om jag kan göra det här," erkände Sven tyst.En: "Oskar, I don't know if I can do this," admitted Sven quietly.Sv: Oskar gav honom ett uppmuntrande leende.En: Oskar gave him an encouraging smile.Sv: "Du har jobbat hårt för detta, Sven.En: "You've worked hard for this, Sven.Sv: Du kan mer än du tror.En: You're capable of more than you think.Sv: Andas in, räkna till fyra, håll andan, och släpp långsamt ut.En: Breathe in, count to four, hold your breath, and slowly release.Sv: Det hjälper."En: It helps."Sv: Sven lyssnade noga och använde övningen.En: Sven listened carefully and used the exercise.Sv: Efter en stund kände han sig något lugnare.En: After a while, he felt somewhat calmer.Sv: Oskar stannade vid hans sida och erbjöd fortsatt stöd.En: Oskar stayed by his side and offered ongoing support.Sv: "Om du behöver, titta bara på mig under presentationen.En: "If you need, just look at me during the presentation.Sv: Jag finns här."En: I'm here for you."Sv: Tiden närmade sig.En: The time approached.Sv: Med en sista djup inandning gick Sven mot mötesrummet.En: With one last deep breath, Sven walked toward the meeting room.Sv: Kollegorna hade redan samlats, och Anna satt där med en kritisk blick.En: Colleagues had already gathered, and Anna sat there with a critical gaze.Sv: Det var som om hela kontoret höll andan när det var Svens tur att presentera.En: It was as if the whole office was holding its breath when it was Sven's turn to present.Sv: Sven kände ångesten svepa över honom, men han mindes Oskars ord och sitt rigorösa arbete.En: Sven felt anxiety sweep over him, but he remembered Oskar's words and his rigorous work.Sv: Hans röst skälvde först, men sakta blev den starkare.En: His voice trembled at first, but it slowly grew stronger.Sv: Med varje punkt han presenterade såg han Oskars uppmuntrande nick, och hans chef verkade imponerad.En: With every point he presented, he saw Oskar's encouraging nod, and his boss seemed impressed.Sv: Miljön blev plötsligt mer mottaglig.En: The environment suddenly became more receptive.Sv: Till och med Anna gav ett erkännande leende i slutet.En: Even Anna gave an acknowledging smile at the end.Sv: När han avslutade pitchpresentationen, kände han ett skönt lugn över sig.En: As he concluded the pitch presentation, he felt a comfortable calm wash over him.Sv: Chefen och kollegorna applåderade hans idéer, och för första gången kände Sven att han hade bevisat sitt värde.En: The boss and colleagues applauded his ideas, and for the first time, Sven felt he had proven his worth.Sv: Dagen led mot sitt slut, solen sänkte sig över staden.En: The day drew to a close, the sun setting over the city.Sv: Sven insåg att hans förmåga inte bara låg i hans arbete utan också i hans styrka att hantera sin ångest.En: Sven realized that his ability lay not only in his work but also in his strength to manage his anxiety.Sv: Med nyvunnet självförtroende bestämde han sig för att fortsätta arbeta med sin mentala hälsa och välbefinnande.En: With newfound confidence, he decided to continue working on his mental health and well-being.Sv: Denna midsommar var annorlunda; den markerade inte bara sommarens mittpunkt utan också en början på Svens nya resa mot självsäkerhet.En: This midsummer was different; it marked not just the midpoint of summer but also the beginning of Sven's new journey toward self-assurance.

Jinwoo asked cautiously.Ko: "물론이죠, 진우 씨. 무슨 일인가요?" 민서는 미소를 지으며 말했다.En: "Of course, Jinwoo. What's going on?" Minseo replied with a smile.Ko: 진우는 자신의 고민을 솔직히 털어놓았다.En: Jinwoo candidly revealed his worries.Ko: 그러자 민서는 진우의 어깨를 두드리며 격려의 말을 건넸다.En: Then, Minseo patted him on the shoulder and offered words of encouragement.Ko: "진우 씨, 너무 걱정하지 마세요. 준비한 만큼 하면 잘할 수 있을 거예요. 그리고 모든 것이 계획대로 되지 않더라도, 우리는 항상 대비책을 마련해야 해요."En: "Jinwoo, don't worry too much. You'll do well as long as you've prepared. And even if everything doesn't go as planned, we should always have a backup plan."Ko: 민서는 진우에게 스트레스를 관리하는 몇 가지 실용적인 팁도 알려주었다. 깊은 숨을 쉬고, 마음을 가라앉히며, 상황을 객관적으로 바라보는 연습이었다.En: Minseo also shared some practical tips with Jinwoo for managing stress, including taking deep breaths, calming the mind, and practicing looking at the situation objectively.Ko: 드디어 프레젠테이션 시간, 진우는 회의실에 들어섰다.En: Finally, it was time for the presentation, and Jinwoo stepped into the meeting room.Ko: 모든 것이 준비되어 있는 것처럼 보였다.En: Everything seemed ready.Ko: 하지만 중간에 갑작스러운 기술적 문제로 슬라이드가 제대로 작동하지 않았다.En: However, an unexpected technical issue prevented the slides from working properly midway through.Ko: 진우는 잠시 당황했지만, 민서의 조언이 떠올랐다.En: Jinwoo was momentarily flustered, but then remembered Minseo's advice.Ko: 그는 깊이 숨을 들이쉰 후, 침착하게 슬라이드 없이 진행하기로 했다.En: After taking a deep breath, he calmly decided to proceed without the slides.Ko: 준비된 내용을 차분히 설명했고, 예상보다 더 자연스럽게 이야기를 이어 나갔다.En: He explained the prepared content with poise and continued the discussion more naturally than he expected.Ko: 진우의 열정과 긴장된 순간에도 차분해진 태도는 상사의 주목을 받았다.En: Jinwoo's passion and his composed demeanor, even in tense moments, caught the attention of his boss.Ko: 회의가 끝난 후, 많은 동료들로부터 칭찬이 쏟아졌다.En: After the meeting, he received a shower of compliments from many colleagues.Ko: 진우는 이번 경험을 통해 팀워크의 중요성을 깨닫고, 누군가에게 도움을 받을 때 일이 더 순조롭게 진행될 수 있음을 알게 되었다.En: Through this experience, Jinwoo realized the importance of teamwork and how things could proceed more smoothly when receiving help from others.Ko: 그날 저녁, 진우는 민서에게 감사의 커피 한 잔을 건넸다.En: That evening, Jinwoo handed a thank-you cup of coffee to Minseo.Ko: "민서 씨 덕분에 잘 마무리할 수 있었어요. 정말 고마워요."En: "Thanks to you, I was able to finish well. I'm really grateful."Ko: 민서는 환하게 웃으며 말했다. "진우 씨의 노력이 있었기에 가능한 일이었어요. 다음에도 함께 잘해봐요."En: Minseo smiled brightly and said, "It was possible because of your hard work, Jinwoo. Let's do well together next time too."Ko: 여름 햇살이 창문을 통해 비치던 그날, 진우는 다른 무엇보다 중요한 것을 배웠다. 혼자가 아닌, 서로의 힘으로 더 나은 결과를 만들어내는 법을.En: On the day when the summer sun streamed through the window, Jinwoo learned something more important than anything else: the way to create better results through mutual strength, rather than being alone.

    Book your free discovery call directly, visit: www.robertjamescoaching.com Welcome to the OCD and Anxiety Podcast with Robert James, a seasoned coach who has lived through these challenges himself. In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked compulsion of rumination—a mental habit that feels productive but actually keeps us stuck in the obsessive-compulsive loop. We delve into the nature of rumination, why it feels automatic, and how it deceptively presents itself as a means to figure things out. But rather than providing clarity, rumination only leads to further compulsions and deepens the cycle of OCD. Robert shares insights on how to interrupt this mental spiral, challenging you to stop viewing rumination as a thinking problem and start seeing it as a behavioral one. By mastering the art of recognizing when you're caught in the loop and shifting focus to more value-driven actions, you can begin to manage OCD symptoms more effectively. If you're ready to take back control and wish to discuss further, Robert offers a free discovery call, accessible via his website.

    When life feels unbearable—when you're anxious, heartbroken, or overwhelmed—it's natural to push against the moment. You replay the past, resist what you're feeling now, and fear what's next. But what if the path to relief isn't about fixing anything, but instead not resisting what you're experiencing? In this episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, we explore how to stay grounded in difficult moments—not by approving of what's happening, but by loosening the grip of resistance, so you can find clarity, calm, and your next step forward. If you're stuck in worry, regret, stress or fear, this episode is for you.  If you found this podcast enjoyable, kindly consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review.

And that's how you break down that nervousness and turn it into fuel. It's a good thing. It's going to drive you. Adrenaline can get away from you but it can also make you so sharp and make you better than you. That's that special thing that will make you better than you thought you were, that adrenaline.

    Are all kids tech-obsessed these days? Maybe—but some young minds are uniquely wired to build, create, and tinker. Today's episode shares how to connect Tech Obsessed Kids to God's Word. Expert guest Allen Brokken joins host Tina Yeager to show us how to reach and disciple kids who might otherwise feel left out in traditional church settings. Here are some highlights and practical takeaways from the conversation: Understanding the Tech-Obsessed Child Allen shares from his personal journey as a lifelong “technology kid,” explaining how classic Sunday school—full of singing, listening, and sitting—often feels alienating for kinesthetic learners who need to use their hands and engage deeply with how things work. Biblical Crafts & Hands-On Faith Did you know the Bible is full of design blueprints and craftspeople? From the Ark to the Temple, scripture is teeming with detailed constructions and creative talents. Allen suggests inviting kids to sketch, build, or even 3D print biblical objects, helping them see themselves in God's story. Not Just More Screen Time While we often link technology with screens, Allen encourages us to broaden our definition of tech engagement. Let kids craft, sew, tackle puzzles, or model biblical artifacts—offering them tactile, service-oriented projects that echo examples like Dorcas in the New Testament. Resources for Parents & Leaders Free projects & workbooks: Allen's website, towersoflight.net, offers free resources and a blog series with hands-on activities to align with scripture. Tech tip: For screen-loving kids, try Bible-based builds in Minecraft or digital Lego tools like BrickLink Studio. Homeschool curriculum: Check out multimedia language arts units combined with hands-on projects and audiobook learning for kids. Intentional Inclusion Catch subtle cues—like glazed eyes or restless fingers—that signal a disengaged child. Simple strategies, such as leading questions during scripture reading or collaborative design projects, can transform frustration into inspiration. Get Connected Find more project ideas, curriculum details, and Allen's award-winning children's fiction at towersoflight.net/subscribe. You'll also receive their free newsletter with regular, creative ideas for engaging tech-minded kids. Let's inspire every child to find their place in God's story—not just as learners, but as creators, problem-solvers, and world-changers.   We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

Related to not very fun hotel and insurance and post-hurricane things. I'm catching myself feeling like, if I could just 'close the loop', get to the end, and fix it—then, I won't have to feel this way anymore. I'm also feeling like, "I must be bad. I must have done something wrong. If I hadn't done anything wrong, then this wouldn't have happened." It's bringing me back to feeling like a little kid—scared and worried. In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm realizing as I experience it, and talking about a neurodiversity-affirming framework of compassionate understanding, reflective questions, and values-aligned actions that help support me through these moments.

    Is your child a picky eater, or is it something more serious — and how can you tell? Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) goes far beyond food preferences. It's driven by deep-seated fears of choking, vomiting, or other anxieties that can lead to dangerous nutritional deficiencies. In this episode, Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA member expert Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist and Harvard Medical School professor, to break down the signs of ARFID, outline how it differs from typical picky eating, and mention when parents should seek professional help. Learn how to spot the red flags, understand the role of anxiety in food avoidance, and discover ways to support kids managing this lesser known eating disorder. If mealtimes are a battle in your home, this episode is a must-listen! Special thanks to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America for sponsoring this episode.  “They could have different obsessions of what might happen should they eat any of those foods. Some could have a fear that there's contamination. Some can have a fear that it's cooked all the way. Some can have a concern that something separate from the food, but a negative consequence may happen if they eat those foods. It can also happen that someone is worried about having IBS symptoms in public, so they don't want to eat certain foods. And so they limit the foods that they eat, or even when they're at home because they're worried about when they go out in public afterward.” ~Jacqueline Sperling, PhD Our guest, Jacqueline Sperling, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital. She is the author of the young adult nonfiction book “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place” and a contributor for Harvard Health Publishing. Dr. Sperling specializes in implementing cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention and working with youth with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She also focuses on caregiver guidance, such as by using behavioral parent training, to help families address children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. In addition, Dr. Sperling is passionate about disseminating evidence-based information to the community, and she frequently speaks about the impact of social media use on mental health. Moreover, Dr. Sperling is committed to increasing access to care and participates in advocacy at state and federal government levels. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

    Are you using meditation to manage anxiety, but still feel disconnected or overwhelmed?This conversation with artist and ritualist Day Shildkret explores how meditation alone may not be enough to meet the intensity of our mental health needs — especially during major life transitions. Learn how ritual, connection to nature, and intentional rest can support emotional resilience in ways meditation can't always reach.You'll discover:- Why ritual is often the missing link in a meditation practice that's failing to soothe anxiety.- How to create nature-inspired rituals that help you slow down and reconnect with your inner self.- The real reason we struggle with transitions and how to build meaningful containers for healing.Listen now to uncover a grounded, nature-connected approach to managing anxiety with more clarity, compassion, and resilience.Day Schildkret, the artist and author behind the international Morning Altars movement, believes that what we need is ritual. Rituals are our most trusted guide during times of change. They give us a sense of stability in the face of uncertainty and remind us that there's always something we can do, say, or make to conjure awe, courage and gratitude. Rituals offer us a tangible and time tested way to acknowledge that as life changes, we too must change.Learn more about Day here: https://www.morningaltars.com/Sign up for my newsletter at https://merylarnett.substack.com/ to receive free mini meditations and soundscapes each week, along with creative musings and more.New episodes every Monday (just the meditation) and Thursday (a full meditation class).Learn more or contact me at https://www.merylarnett.com/.

In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...   What “scaffolding” and “accommodations” actually mean, where they differ, and where they overlap. Why the exact same parenting move can either build your child's confidence or unintentionally undermine your intentions, and the simple trick to figure out which one you're doing! How your child's discomfort plays a role in how you respond to them, and the important information that can reveal to us as parents. A real-life example of the difference between scaffolding versus over-accommodating when you have a child with social anxiety - a helpful framework for what to do and what to try to avoid doing. How scaffolding is specifically tied to skill-building, both emotionally and practically.

    “If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” - Luke 16:11What if managing money is about more than just numbers and budgets—what if it's a window into something eternal? Afton Phillips joins us today as we explore the mission behind the message you hear every day on this program, and how you can be a part of it.Afton Phillips is the Head of Content at FaithFi: Faith & Finance. The Heart Behind the MissionSo why focus so much on finances?Because how we handle money reveals what we treasure most. At FaithFi, we want to help people experience freedom, peace, and generosity—not just from better budgeting, but from surrendering their hearts to God.It's a message that resonates with people in all seasons of life. Whether you feel boxed in by a budget or anxious about a financial decision, each of those moments is an invitation to reflect on your heart and trust in Christ. We are already living in abundance with the love of Christ.The Common Struggles We All FaceHere are the three biggest challenges that Christians often face when it comes to faithful money management:Trust vs. Security–It's easy to place our hope in financial stability rather than in God.Comfort vs. Generosity–Culture tells us to accumulate, but God calls us to live open-handedly.Identity vs. Worth–We're constantly tempted to measure our value by our bank accounts rather than who we are in Christ.That's why the resources we offer—from our studies to our podcast—aren't just about financial literacy. They're about spiritual formation. The concepts we talk about are an intentional reset. They help us move away from the emptiness of accumulation and toward peace that's rooted in Christ.Why Ecclesiastes Still Speaks TodayFaithFi's newest Bible study, Wisdom Over Wealth, takes readers through the book of Ecclesiastes. This book speaks directly to our modern struggles with meaning, anxiety, and financial pressure.There may not be another book in the Bible that talks about death more, so it really forces you to ask: What really matters? When you realize how short life is, you start to live more intentionally, and that includes how you manage your finances.Rather than treating money as ultimate, Ecclesiastes helps us see it as a gift. Something to be enjoyed, yes—but also stewarded wisely under God's authority.FaithFi's Tools for the JourneyIf you're new to FaithFi, here's a quick look at the resources we offer to help believers apply biblical wisdom to their financial lives every day:Radio + Podcast: Our daily conversations bring timeless biblical wisdom into your financial life.FaithFi App: A free, easy-to-use budgeting tool that helps you align your spending with eternal values—and includes a community of other believers on the same journey.High-Quality Articles and Content: Each week, we share insightful content from leading voices in Christian finance, designed to help you connect your faith with everyday financial decisions.Bible Studies + Devotionals: Deep dives into Scripture that explore God's heart for money and stewardship.Faithful Steward Magazine: A beautifully designed quarterly publication filled with quick reads, practical tips, and theological insights.How You Can Support the MissionAs we approach the end of our fiscal year (June 30), FaithFi is inviting listeners to join our mission by becoming a FaithFi Partner.Here's what your partnership makes possible:Continued production of biblical, practical resources like this radio program.Expansion of studies and devotionals that transform lives.Investment in tools like the FaithFi app that meet people where they are.A monthly gift of $35 or an annual gift of $400 qualifies you for our FaithFi Partner Program.

Additionally, is there a typical range for origination fees and closing costs?My husband and I are struggling to tithe because we disagree with how our church is spending the money. We feel like we're the only ones concerned, and it's hard to give when we believe the funds could be used more wisely. Are we in the wrong for feeling this way? Should we continue tithing anyway?I contributed to a traditional IRA, thinking it was a wise move, but now that I'm retired, I'm in a higher tax bracket than when I earned the income. Are there any strategies to reduce the tax burden in this situation?I want to help my child purchase their first home. Would it be more cost-effective to cosign on their mortgage, or take out a home equity loan myself and pay off the mortgage directly while they repay me? I'm trying to minimize closing costs and fees.I've been hearing more about deed fraud lately.

    Today, I interview Junie Moon, who grew up bright and bubbly, until one look from her mother made her feel unloved. Her free spirit met a controlling household where even a glance could silence her. By eight, she had learned to dim her light just to stay safe. Being cheerful and expressive got her labeled, and rejected.Bullied through middle school, silent in high school, Junie carried this fear of being seen well into adulthood. It shaped her relationships, her body, and her belief that her voice didn't matter.But something changed. A moment came when she couldn't stay quiet any longer—not for herself, and not for the person she loved most. That moment set her on the path to healing.Today, Junie helps women uncover the hidden fears that silence them and teaches them how to build trust in themselves again, so they can speak up, show up, and call in lasting love.__________________Junie Moon is the CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, bestselling author, women's empowerment leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach.

The wise mind serves as a bridge between our emotional instincts and rational thoughts, guiding us away from the tangled complexities of overthinking. This discussion highlights how our anxiety often stems from cluttered thoughts that distract us from making clear decisions. By recognizing and accessing our wise mind, we can step back from the incessant mental chatter and tap into a deeper intuitive wisdom. We explore practical methods to access the wise mind, emphasizing the significance of connecting with our bodies and employing mindfulness techniques grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). During a guided meditation, we engage in exercises that help us anchor our awareness in our physical sensations, particularly at the core of our being just below the sternum. This practice invites us to breathe into our body, allowing for a state of relaxation and refocusing our awareness away from the mind's chaotic thoughts. As the meditation progresses, we encourage listeners to check in with their intuitive self, seeking guidance on personal challenges or decisions. This process is about observing the thoughts and sensations that arise without judgment. It's crucial to remember that this intuitive feedback can often be more informative than the rational thoughts that our minds overly fixate upon. We emphasize the importance of daily practice, advising our audience to cultivate this connection to their wise mind, especially as it relates to decision-making and navigating through anxiety. #wisemind#anxiety#intuition#gutfeeling#decisionmaking#mindfulness#embodiment#dbt#dialecticalbehaviortherapy#meditation#bodywisdom#innerknowing#mentalhealth#wellbeing#anxietycoach#stress#emotionalregulation#selfawareness#presentmoment#innerguidance#holistichealth#mindbodyconnection#copingskills#emotionalintelligence#selftrust#innervoice#peace#calm#ACP#anxietycoachespodcast#GinaRyan Learn more about your ad choices.

    Dr. Phil explores the growing trend of young adults choosing to live with their parents—and the social consequences that come with it. He talks with a 24-year-old woman who defends living rent-free with her mother and a mother who believes sharing her home with her adult daughter sets her up for future success. The debate escalates when Dr. Phil brings in renowned podcaster Jennifer Cohen, who argues that parents who house their grown children may be holding them back from becoming capable, resilient adults. Later, a 27-year-old woman opens up about never having left home and reveals how the idea of venturing out alone triggers crippling anxiety.
