From the outside, it might look like I've got things under control—but as I share straight from my journal, the reality is a constant tug-of-war between where my energy wants to go and where my time needs to be spent.

You'll hear my unfiltered reflections on feeling pulled toward deep, meaningful work—like research, writing, and evolving my community—while also handling the business operations that keep everything running.

Pamela breaks down the four types of narcissistic parents (grandiose, covert, malignant, and communal) and explains how growing up with narcissistic caregivers creates hypervigilance that extends beyond scanning the environment to scanning the body internally, amplifying pain perception and contributing to conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and migraines. She discusses why many high-achieving adults don't recognize their childhood experiences as traumatic, how complex PTSD manifests in successful people who come to therapy for seemingly unrelated issues, and why addressing the underlying trauma through therapy can significantly improve both emotional well-being and physical pain symptoms. Pamela emphasizes that healing begins with repairing the relationship with oneself and recognizing that you deserve care and are worthy of good things, rather than existing solely to benefit others.MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / FacebookPamela is the owner of Sea Change Therapy, where there is a variety of specialties in the office with accessible building and easy parking access.

In 2009, the news reported live as a six-year-old boy careened through the air at 7,000 feet trapped inside a homemade balloon craft. Millions tuned into the harrowing saga, but once the balloon finally hit the ground, no little boy was found inside. Details then emerged that seemed to indicate it was all a hoax created by a family as part of a PR stunt for a reality TV show. On this episode, we explore the story of Balloon Boy, ask whether the event was indeed a hoax, and look at the early history of the hot air ballooning craze in the 18th and 19th centuries where hoaxes and wild spectacles were a foundational part of the emerging scientific field.

When did people begin seeking anonymous advice for their most profound personal dilemmas? What can the answers to their early questions tell us about the emotional lives of people in the past? We're traveling back in time to 1690s England to explore the world's first personal advice column, The Athenian Mercury. This two-sided broadsheet publication invited readers to send in questions about anything–from science and religion to love and marriage– and its creators, a small group of Londoners who dubbed themselves the “Athenian Society,” answered these queries with a surprising blend of wit, morality, and insight.

Walker shares how he discovered that most nonprofit hospitals are legally required to provide financial assistance (charity care) to patients who meet certain income qualifications, yet hospitals rarely inform patients about these programs. And you'd be surprised at how high some of the income requirements are!Since launching in 2012, DollarFor has helped eliminate nearly $90 million in medical debt by creating user-friendly tools that help patients determine eligibility and apply for charity care programs that can completely wipe out hospital bills. Walker explains that charity care is far more accessible than most people realize, with many programs covering households earning up to 250-400% of federal poverty guidelines, and offers practical advice for negotiating medical bills when charity care isn't an option.Resources mentioned:→ dollarfor.orgMEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / X / YouTube / TikTok→ SIGN UP FOR DESTINY'S NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ READ THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODEASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJOIN DESTINY'S MEMBERSHIP - for folks with chronic pain & illness→ Join Welcome To The Waiting Room (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride is one of the most famous events in American history. On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere set out to warn the Massachusetts countryside that British regulars were marching to seize rebel supplies in Concord. Revere's name has become legendary, immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. But how much do we really know about Paul Revere beyond that single night? In this revisited episode, we'll explore the history and memory of Paul Revere. Why has he endured as a national icon, while other revolutionary couriers and figures have faded from public consciousness? How does the story of Revere's ride illustrate the power of historical memory? And what does Revere's real life—beyond that one night—tell us about the American Revolution and the ways we remember it? Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/130 REQUEST A TOPIC

If you've been told your labs are “normal” but still feel bloated, tired, cold, constipated, or losing hair—this episode is for you. Liz and Becca break down why most thyroid issues aren't actually thyroid issues, and why medication alone often doesn't fix the problem. They dive into the real root causes behind symptoms like hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, thyroid resistance, under-conversion, and pituitary dysfunction—and explain how stress, gut health, liver function, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances all play a major role. You'll learn what most doctors miss, how to read beyond the standard TSH test, and what to do if you've been stuck in thyroid limbo for years. ***
Feeling constantly drained, scattered, and off-track with your goals—even when you have the best intentions? That's decision fatigue in action. In this episode, Liz and Becca unpack the mental and emotional overload so many women face daily—between kids, work, food, workouts, and expectations. You'll learn why your brain runs out of willpower by noon, how decision fatigue sabotages your health goals, and how to start protecting your time, energy, and routines without guilt. They also share personal strategies for meal planning, workout consistency, self-care routines, and saying “no” in a world that expects you to do it all. This is your permission slip to simplify, reset, and start showing up for you—with less stress and more intention. ***

She breaks down the most overlooked root causes of chronic health issues like stress, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation, and immune problems—and why minerals, fats, water quality, and mindset are foundational to real healing. You'll learn why most people are walking around mineral-deficient, how seed oils and processed foods silently destroy your health, and the exact steps to start reclaiming your energy and resilience—without overwhelm or extremes.

April 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. One of the lesser-known catalysts for these battles was the hunt for artillery. The British military, under General Thomas Gage, sought to seize weapons stockpiled by colonial militias, while Massachusetts Patriots scrambled to secure and hide weapons. This tug-of-war over firepower played a crucial role in pushing Massachusetts from political resistance to armed conflict. To better understand how Massachusetts got to this point, we're revisiting Episode 129: The Road to Concord, with historian J.L. Bell. John is the author of The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War and the prolific blogger behind Boston 1775.net.

Jonny Miller is the creator of Nervous System Mastery. It teaches evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm, build resilience, and increase aliveness in 45 days. It's a five-week, cohort-based course that is just wrapping up its sixth cohort in the last three years. In those six cohorts, Jonny has served nearly 1,000 students and earned more than $800,000. Here's the best part – Jonny doesn't have a massive audience. When he launched Nervous System Mastery, he had a couple thousand followers on Twitter and a small email list. This is the magic of a well-designed Signature Product – and Jonny is the perfect example. In this episode, we get into the weeds about how he's grown NSM – what's worked well, what hasn't, and how he's found himself on large podcasts with people like Lenny Rachitsky, Ali Abdaal, Chris Williamson, and more. → Join Nervous System Mastery Full transcript and show notes Jonny's Website / Twitter / Instagram / LinkedIn *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → #221: Ryan Hawk – Anatomy of a $12,500 membership earning $400,000+ per year *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → Submit your question here *** WHEN YOU'RE READY
Histamine intolerance is more than just allergies. In this episode, Liz and Becca break down the root causes of histamine overload and why symptoms like bloating, rashes, fatigue, food reactions, and mood swings could all point to poor histamine metabolism—not random sensitivities. You'll learn how stress, gut imbalances, SIBO, poor DAO enzyme function, and even your genetics can all trigger histamine issues—and why fermented foods, collagen, and kombucha might be making your symptoms worse. If you've tried elimination diets or allergy meds and still feel inflamed, puffy, or reactive… this episode is your missing piece. ***
We unpack the biggest mistakes people make when choosing a health practitioner—and what separates average coaches from truly transformational ones. Whether you're a practitioner building your brand or a woman searching for real root-cause healing, this episode is a must-listen. You'll learn:
In this powerful episode, Liz sits down with gut health expert Josh Dech to unpack the real root causes of chronic gut conditions like Crohn's, colitis, IBS, and IBD—and why these “forever diagnoses” don't have to be forever. You'll learn the truth behind inflammation, what's really driving symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and pain, and how toxins, deficiencies, and microbes all play a role in gut dysfunction. Josh explains the four stages of gut disease, why it's often misdiagnosed as autoimmune, and how most cases are completely reversible when the root cause is addressed. If you've been told to manage symptoms with meds forever, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew—and give you hope for full recovery.

The American Revolution was more than just a series of events that unfolded between 1763 and 1783, the American Revolution is our national origin story–one we've passed down, shaped, and reshaped for the last 250 years. But what do we really mean when we talk about “the Revolution?” Whose Revolution are we remembering? And how has the meaning of 1776 shifted from generation to generation? Michael Hattem, a scholar of the American Revolution and historical memory, joins us to discuss the American Revolution and its memory, drawing on details from his new book, The Memory of ‘76: The Revolution in American History.

I had a coach once upon a time, and he told me that our greatest strengths are often our greatest weaknesses. I think that applies to creators because we are so creative that we easily get inspired by new ideas. We've proven to ourselves time and time again that we can create something out of thin air. So when we have a new idea that we get excited about, it can be tempting to dive all in on that idea, which creates this challenge: if I have a bunch of ideas, how do I choose where I should allocate my time and resources? The core problem here is that if you don't know your destination, it is impossible to get directions. This great saying says you can get to where you're going just by following the length of your headlights. You don't have to see the entire road to get to a place. So, just this past week, I was speaking with a member of the lab. The question was, I have options A or B, so which one should I do? And I asked this person, imagine it's three years in the future. Everything went as well as it possibly could have. What does that look like?
