Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
Chris Kilham — the Medicine Hunter, author of fifteen books, and a man the New York Times once called "part David Attenborough, part Indiana Jones" — returns to Care More Be Better for a third time to go deep into the vine. With 65 shamans and twelve years of ceremony across the Amazon behind him, Chris and host Corinna Bellizzi explore the line between authentic plant medicine and cultural appropriation, the shared visions that gave ayahuasca its old name Telepathine, the three enduring camps of psychedelic culture, and where to actually find a trustworthy ceremony. Important Note Ayahuasca contains DMT, a Schedule I substance in the United States. This episode discusses plant medicine in an educational and harm-reduction context. Always consult a qualified medical professional before pursuing any plant medicine experience, and research the legal status in your location through resources such as ICEERS.

WHAT IS FASCISM AND HOW TO FIGHT IT!!!!Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology. It prioritizes the perceived interest and glory of the nation over individual rights, often relying on dictatorial leadership, strict social and economic regimentation, militarism, and the violent suppression of opposition. [1, 2, 3]Key characteristics of fascism include:Extreme Nationalism: Absolute loyalty to the state or ethnic group, placing national unity above individual liberties. [1, 2]Dictatorial Power: Centralized, autocratic leadership that rejects democratic processes, pluralism, and liberalism. [1, 2]Scapegoating: Fixation on real or perceived national decline and the blaming of minority groups, foreigners, or political dissidents for societal problems. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Militarism and Violence: The embrace of physical force, paramilitarism, and aggressive warfare as tools for political progress and "national cleansing". [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]State and Corporate Integration: Strong regimentation of the economy and society, often fusing state power with corporate interests. [1, 2]The ideology first emerged in early 20th-century Europe, most notably in Italy under Benito Mussolini and Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.

Healing That Ends in Beauty: Plant Medicine & Conscious Integration with Dr. Richard Grossman, LAc, OMD – Episode 452 Ayahuasca doesn't hand you a cure; it unlocks the healer already inside you. The visions may fade, but the capacity for pure, unconditional love remains. In this episode, host Peter Fenger sits down with Dr. Richard Grossman, a licensed acupuncturist, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and author of “Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life”. Dr. Grossman's lifelong dedication to the healing arts began in the wake of profound early trauma, sparking a fascination with the interconnected power of plants and the human mind. After training in Los Angeles and studying in Beijing under a World Health Organization program, he spent decades weaving together Oriental medicine, functional medicine, and deep spiritual practice. His extensive work with Ayahuasca and sound healing, shaped by years of study alongside indigenous shamans in Ecuador and Peru, has evolved into a unique synthesis of Amazonian shamanism, energy medicine, and multisensory ceremony. Today, Dr. Grossman guides individuals toward profound emotional, physical, and spiritual transformation, always rooted in a singular, core intention: helping others step out of suffering by discovering the source of joy within. Join us as we explore his journey from early trauma to a lifetime of healing, diving deep into the therapeutic dimensions of plant medicine, the role of sacred music, the integration of ceremonial insights, and how personal transformation ultimately contributes to collective healing.

Everyone reviewed Disclosure Day. Almost nobody asked what it means for your soul.In Part 2 of our Disclosure Day series, we go past the hot takes and into the part the other reviews skipped: the spiritual, philosophical, and metaphysical weight of what Spielberg actually put on screen. If disclosure is real, what happens to God? To Christianity, Islam, the Vedic traditions? Is this a film… or a rollout?We get into the two warring shadow agencies, why disclosure looks more like a slow process than a single "day," the war.gov releases, the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim, Islam's surprising openness to life beyond Earth, the Dune-style "is it all scripted?" question, channelers and remote viewers, and where the line really is between healthy discernment and naive belief.This isn't a review. It's a decode for people who actually want to think.
We are excited to host Grace Blest-Hopley on this episode of the Mangu.tv podcast. Dr Grace Blest-Hopley is a neuroscientist with over a decade of research into cannabinoids and psychedelics, and the founder of Hystelica — the world's first research organisation dedicated to understanding female biology for safer, more effective psychedelic use, delivering both original research and education in the field. She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from King's College London, and now serves as Chief Scientific Officer at NWPharmaTech and Research Director at Heroic Hearts Project, where she leads work supporting military veterans living with trauma. Grace has spoken internationally as part of her advocacy for women's representation in psychedelic science. Grace discusses her upbringing on a Staffordshire farm, her connection to horses, and how experiences in India led her to study neuroscience. She and Giancarlo explore the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, the challenges of cannabis research, and findings from neuroimaging studies of long-term users, particularly those who started young.Their conversation also covers the rise of psychedelic-assisted therapy, the importance of preparation and integration, and Grace's work with the Heroic Hearts Project, where she witnessed the benefits of Ayahuasca ceremonies with the Shipibo people. Grace explains how psychedelics may create a window of increased neuroplasticity, offering opportunities to rewire the brain. She also discusses her research into women's health, examining how hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle can influence psychedelic experiences and their therapeutic potential.
Topher Gardner is the founder of Black Gold Biochar, a regenerative builder, a lifelong bodyworker, and a former Division I football kicker who has actually walked the path most spiritual seekers only theorize about. He played at Michigan State under Nick Saban, spent three more years in pro leagues, and rebuilt the body football broke through Rolfing and yoga. That work took him to southern India, where he served as operations director of an ashram before the new age yoga world wore him out. He landed in Costa Rica, where for nearly two decades he built domes, taught regenerative agriculture, partook in fifty-plus ayahuasca journeys, studied true sidereal astrology with John Lamb Lash, and found the work that now anchors his life: biochar.The conversation moves the way Topher's mind moves, between cosmology and concrete, between Wilhelm Reich's writing on why we build idols just to slay them and the chemistry of why a 2,000-degree kiln in the Missouri Ozarks turns hardwood waste into the most stable carbon you can put in soil. We get into the suppressed Christ archetype hidden in Ophiuchus, why the distinction between self and other is the actual purpose of incarnation, what ten years inside the ayahuasca world taught him about variability over devotion, and why the carbon they trained us to fear is the same carbon our bodies and our land are starving for.

On this episode of the Aluna experience podcast I talk to Dylan who shares how at 23 years old he was faced with a medical illness which brought him close to death and bed ridden for 2 years, what he now calls a soul initiation. Dylan shares his exploration of alternative healing modalities and finding ayahuasca where he experienced two very different nights with the medicine. Night one was a stripping of identities, wounds, and any foundation of self that was built on false beliefs. A painful but necessary clearing to create space for what was to come the second night. Dylan passionately shares how night 2 illuminated the many layers of self for Dylan— from his physical, to mental to spiritual to everything in between, above and beyond. The medicine brought him into perfect alignment with the life that he desired and supported the physical body and mental capacity to be able to hold such a life. He talks about how ayahuasca has been present everyday since communing with her at Aluna and how this experience was a call to rise to the infinite wave of everlasting love that ayahuasca showed him is what and who he is. @aluna_healing_centeralunahealingcenter.com@bri.anahatabrianahata.com

Step into a deeply feminine, embodied, and soul-stirring sisterhood conversation with Francesca Barone, co-founder of Anam Kara Healing Retreats, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Francesca is devoted to preserving indigenous shamanic wisdom and guiding people into safe, transformative plant medicine ceremonies rooted in embodiment, ritual, and reverence for the Earth. Francesca shares her journey from survival-based resilience into radical softness, revealing how years of trauma, addiction, and pushing through life shaped her nervous system, leadership, and relationships. She opens up about building her ayahuasca retreat center from a place of endurance rather than ease, and the deep reckoning that came when she realized she had everything she thought she wanted, yet still did not feel safe, held, or at home in her body. We explore the terror and courage of surrender, especially for women who have been rewarded for strength and resilience. Francesca speaks vulnerably about releasing control in love, business, and spirituality. She shares how reconnecting to the Divine Mother, the womb, and the Earth became the doorway to true healing, pleasure, and trust in life. Together, we dive into embodiment as the medicine, the intelligence of the body's ability to disconnect for protection, and the slow, sacred work of returning home. Francesca offers profound insight into why healing does not come from constant effort or expansion, but from creating space for spaciousness, allowing grief, stillness, and the fertile darkness to restore wholeness. We also talk about: -Returning to the Divine Mother and feminine safety -Surrender versus survival-based resilience -The body's wisdom to disconnect and reconnect -Embodiment, pleasure, and grounded aliveness -Grief as the gateway to softness and trust -Plant medicine as ally, not escape -Creating space, stillness, and integration -Healing sexual and developmental trauma -Trusting divine timing in love, motherhood, and life This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and descend. It reminds us that creation is born from the fertile darkness, that surrender is an act of profound courage, and that the body holds the memory of safety, pleasure, and belonging when we allow ourselves to listen.

It is our opportunity to avail ourselves of the gifts that we are offered no matter which way it presents itself.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Jason Grechanik, master tabaquero and host of The Universe Within Podcast, for a deep exploration of sacred tobacco as Amazonian plant medicine. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-358/?ref=278 Sacred tobacco is usually understood in the West through the lens of cigarettes, addiction, and commercial misuse. But in Amazonian traditions, Nicotiana rustica is understood very differently: as a master plant, a protector, and a powerful medicine that requires lineage, discernment, and right relationship. Drawing from nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason shares how tobacco is worked with in dieta, ayahuasca ceremony, energetic protection, and direct relationship with plant spirits. Paul and Jason also discuss cannabis, indigenous cosmologies, safety, and what tobacco's history can teach the modern psychedelic movement about power, humility, and proper containers. Jason Grechanik is a master tabaquero trained in the Mamankunawa tradition under curandero Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. With nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and more than 1,000 people guided through plant ceremonies, Jason spent many years at the renowned Shipibo healing center Temple of the Way of Light. He is the host of The Universe Within Podcast, with 180+ episodes and 20K+ monthly listeners, co-founder of the Nicotiana Rustica project, and has been featured in DoubleBlind Magazine. Highlights: Jason's path into Amazonian tobacco medicine Tobacco beyond commercial cigarettes Why tobacco is considered a master plant Dieta as direct plant relationship Tobacco as portal and protector Ayahuasca, diagnosis, and plant doctors Safety, toxicity, and proper containers Jaguar and hummingbird tobacco archetypes Cannabis, dreams, and plant relationship Lessons for the psychedelic renaissance Episode Links: The Universe Within Podcast Nicotiana Rustica Project Jason on Instagram Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Dr. Wes Robins sent me a text a few weeks ago, and I stopped what I was doing and read it twice. It was a piece he had written at his kitchen table while his daughters worked on an art project beside him, and it was one of the most honest and beautiful things I have read in all the years I have been doing this work. It started with four words: you are not broken. And it kept going from there.Wes has been a guest on this show before, and I have always admired how he shows up. No pretense, no pedestal. Just a real human being who has done his own hard work and now walks alongside young people and families who are doing theirs. Since we last spoke, he made the gut-wrenching decision to close the treatment center he poured five and a half years into, and what he learned on the other side of that loss is something I think every parent who has ever watched someone they love struggle needs to hear.He is back in private practice now, seeing clients out of a cool 60's ranch house in Alpharetta, GA. He works with young people, with parents, and with families who are trying to figure out how to stay present through things that feel impossible to witness. He's a Ph.D, but has officially taken on the designation of Soul Nurse, and once he explains it, you'll understand exactly what that means.This conversation goes places I did not expect. We talk about the piece Wes wrote for parents, and he reads it aloud, and I am not going to pretend I held it together. We get into the difference between empathy and presence, why watching your child suffer might be asking something of you that has nothing to do with them, and what it actually means to be the flight attendant when your kid is in turbulence.If you have ever felt like you were failing simply by not being able to fix this, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARN:The wise words Dr. Wes wrote at his kitchen table that stopped me coldHow to think about psychedelics and plant medicines when your child is asking (or using them)The difference between empathy and presence, and why it mattersWhy your child's struggle may be your greatest spiritual teacherWhat being the flight attendant actually looks like when you are terrified yourselfEPISODE RESOURCES:WebsiteDr. Wes Robins Youtube ChannelDr. Wes LinkedIn ProfileEmail address: drwes@eternalstrength.comPsychology Today"When The Map Burns" This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

How did we go from prophet to profit with Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Deepak Chopra... one by one, the curtain got lifted? And we're left asking: who do we actually trust? Religious ethicist Dr. Liz Bucar has spent 25 years studying exactly that question. Her answers will surprise you. What you'll learn in this episode: Why the guru era is collapsing and what a good teacher actually looks like versus a predatory one The hidden Orientalism behind Deepak Chopra and Jay Shetty's appeal — and the latent racism nobody's talking about How a 19th century minister literally named after the Graham cracker gave us our food guilt Why a single question from a tarot card reader reversed years of orthorexia when therapy and church couldn't touch it What happened when a straight-edge religious studies professor did ayahuasca three times a day for three days in an Oregon yurt — and what it broke open about death, grief, and living well What sangha means and why real community requires you to be inconvenienced Prefer to watch on YouTube? https://youtu.be/5kXU5Cf2heE Resources & Links: ORDER Beyond Wellness book: https://amzn.to/4wQJypx Liz's website: https://www.lizbucar.com/books Liz's Substack (Religion, Reimagined): https://lizbucar.substack.com/ Liz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizbucar/ Liz on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lizbucar Work with Allison: https://allisonhare.com/freecall NOTABLE TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Intro: Prophet to profit.

In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas sits down with journalist and author John O'Connor to explore the origins of the modern psychedelic movement through the life and legacy of Terence McKenna, one of its most influential and controversial pioneers. Drawing from his new book, A Short, Strange Trip, John examines the infamous 1971 La Chorrera experiment in the Amazon and the ideas that helped shape today's growing fascination with psychedelics, plant medicine, and altered states of consciousness. The conversation moves beyond politics and headlines into deeper questions about healing, spirituality, identity, and the human search for truth. John also shares the personal story that inspired his investigation, including his father's struggle with alcoholism and attempts at psychedelic-assisted therapy. Together, Lucas and John explore how hallucinogens evolved from counterculture taboo into a mainstream wellness movement backed by clinical research, venture capital, and legislative reform, while asking an important question: when does subjective experience become accepted as truth? This is a thought-provoking conversation about belief, healing, consciousness, and the growing intersection between spirituality, psychology, and modern culture.

Imagine throwing away your antidepressants and never needing them again. For about 85% of the people who sit with Dr. Jeff McNairy, that is exactly what happens. He is the Chief Medical Officer of Rythmia, the world's only medically licensed ayahuasca retreat, and he looks at the most stigmatized corner of mental health through a clinical lens: the chemistry, the screening, the data, and the integration work that decides whether change lasts. Meet our guest Dr. Jeff McNairy holds a doctorate in psychology and a master's in public health from UCLA. He ran locked psychiatric units in Pasadena and was administrative director of Passages Malibu before trying plant medicine himself in 2014. For 25+ years he has worked at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous medicine, and today he runs the medical operation and Costa Rican licensing for Rythmia.

These medicines helped him come back home to himself.Today, Ian is the founder of Athletes Journey Home, a non-profit that helps athletes navigate retirement, brain injury, addiction, and identity loss using science-backed psychedelic therapy and trauma-informed care.We talk about his MMA career and the toll it took on his brain, how psychedelics impacted his life, and the mission behind Athletes Journey Home.Ian is raw, honest, and on a mission. This is one of the most important conversations I've ever had on this podcast.

What if the key to healing trauma isn't in the story you tell, but in the sensations you feel?Dr. Brian Tierney talks with Robert Weiss, PhD—a retired psychologist with 52 years of clinical experience and the developer of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP). Born in Lima to German Jewish Holocaust survivors, Weiss shares how his own early trauma shaped a career that evolved from behavioral training into Ericksonian hypnosis, EMDR, brainspotting, and finally MBSEP. He explains why mindful attention to bodily sensations often heals more deeply than narrative or meaning-making, and how breath, resourcing, and therapeutic relationship can address dysregulation and fragmentation. Through powerful case examples—intergenerational grief, workplace anger, childbirth loss, and even his own Parkinson's diagnosis—Weisz illuminates what it truly means to move into fear and transform through the body.Highlights:- How early trauma as a child of Holocaust survivors shaped Weiss's clinical path- Why MBSEP focuses on sensation over storyUsing breath and "scene work" for regulation and resourcing- How Ericksonian hypnosis built the foundation for relational safety- Intergenerational trauma and the therapeutic use of numinous imagery- Working with anger, shame, guilt, and mixed emotions- Moving into fear as a practice—including Weiss's own journey with Parkinson's- Ayahuasca, love as transformation, and the limits of "McMindfulness"Guest: Robert Weiss, PhD https://mbsep.com/about/robert-weisz-phd/https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Robert-Weisz/248111300Host: Dr. Brian Tierney www.somaticdoctor.comWe want to hear from YOU:What resonated most with you—the intergenerational case example, working with anger, or Weiss's perspective on moving into fear with Parkinson's?

Michael “Morgs” Morgan is a 30-year veteran of law enforcement who honorably served the citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, and Suffolk County, New York. In this riveting episode Morgs shares some of the heartbreaking trauma he experienced, starting with his first night as a trainee. As a warrior and law enforcement officer he was forced to compartmentalize and press forward, with each incident adding a layer of pain and trauma. The drowning of a 2-year-old child he ‘helped save' caused unbelievable grief. Later in his career he is taken off the streets because of a back injury. He got hooked on the pain reliever Tramadol and ended up in rehab. A couple years ago he saw tier one operators on podcasts sharing their healing journeys with psychedelic assisted therapy and felt the call of the medicine. He sat with Ayahuasca in Florida, and it completely saved and changed his life. He was given a new mission to put the ladder down to help save and change the lives of other first responder heroes and their families. Follow Morg on Instagram team_morgs_inc

Dr. Marizelle Arce doesn't, and she has spent almost two decades in clinical practice proving the opposite. She started in conventional medical school, walked out, and built her work around microzymas, pleomorphism, and dark field microscopy. Her mother was an electron microscopist who questioned what she was seeing through the lens. That early skepticism shaped everything that came next.This conversation gets really deep into what's actually happening when you see a "virus" or a "bacterial infection" on a micrograph, why electron microscopy produces artifacts by design, and how organisms like staph, strep, candida, and even black mold are signals, not invaders.We also get into the difference between naturopathy and naturopathic medicine, why most "Lyme disease" cases look more like venom plus antibiotic suppression, and why fear from a practitioner can be the obstacle that keeps a patient sick.If you've adopted the terrain perspective but still feel uncertain when your kid spikes a fever, this episode is the missing layer.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[04:59] What electron microscopy gets fundamentally wrong[13:51] The problem with exosomes nobody talks about[23:23] Do mitochondria even exist?[27:38] Why the scientific method fails living things[29:21] How a velour sweatsuit got her hired[34:48] Naturopathy vs. green-washed allopathy[41:40] Why bacteria, staph, and black mold are all adapting, not attacking[57:14] How antibiotics actually "work"[1:05:28] Your body's cleanup crew: Candida, isopathics, and probiotics decoded [1:38:13] Lyme disease is a venom, not an infection[2:05:39] When practitioners become the obstacle[2:09:52] Raising children without fearRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Polarity Therapy, Dead Soil & Ayahuasca with Topher Gardner | Listen NowThe New Frontier of Biology: Water, Fields & Consciousness with Carlos Millán | Listen NowResources Mentioned:Germs Are Not Our Enemy by Dr. Marizelle Arce | BookFind more from Dr. Marizelle:Dr. Marizelle Arce | Website | SubstackThe Naturopath Shop | WebsiteFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:Eating well shouldn't be complicated.

Psychedelics are reshaping medicine and culture. Ayahuasca ceremonies, ibogaine treatments, and ketamine clinics promise breakthroughs but raise hard questions about safety, tradition, and control.**Joe Dolce** joins the podcast to unpack the science, myths, and politics behind today's psychedelic movementis. Joe is an investigative journalist deeply involved in the exploration of psychedelics and their impact on mental health.

Dr. T flies solo in this episode and hosts guest Otto Maier in a discussion on psychedelic therapy through depth psychology and lived experience. Otto describes his early work with ayahuasca and a pivotal, overwhelming initiation with 5 MeO DMT that led to a prolonged spiritual and psychological crisis. Instead of framing the experience as positive or negative, though, he emphasizes the meaning it held for him. It taught him, among other things, the importance of preparation, appropriate dosing, and trauma-informed facilitation. Dr. T and Otto unpack psychedelic healing within a harm reduction framework while challenging simplified narratives often found in the field. The discussion examines the tension between clinical models that prioritize symptom reduction and a soul-oriented approach to healing. Otto draws on Jungian psychology and archetypal theory to describe how psychedelic experiences can unfold as nonlinear processes that disrupt identity and access deeper layers of the psyche. Dr. T and Otto suggest that meaningful transformation may include disorientation and existential questioning, rather than immediate improvement, which points to limitations in current research practices. Together, they also explore the cultural divide between Western models of control and more relational, animistic perspectives. Psychedelic work is framed as an invitation to engage with uncertainty, embodiment, and the unconscious, countering the dominant concepts of cognition and productivity. The episode advocates for an integrated approach of both scientific rigor and soul-based inquiry, emphasizing ethical responsibility and the complexity of medicine-assisted healing. “I think that the soul work is something that gets us in touch with the nature of our being. And I think it includes a bit of mystery.” - Otto Maier __ Contact Punk Therapy: Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapy Website: PunkTherapy.com Email: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Dr. Larry Norris, co-founder of Decriminalize Nature, for a powerful conversation about plant medicine, entheogens, ayahuasca, consciousness, community healing, and the human right to relationship with nature.Dr. Norris shares how the Decriminalize Nature movement began, why language matters when discussing psychedelics and plant medicine, and how decriminalization can reduce harm by allowing underground communities to come into the open. Together, they explore the bridge between science and spirituality, ayahuasca integration, grassroots policy change, and what it means to reconnect with nature as teacher, healer, and living relationship.

Send us Fan MailThe day you retire, the job doesn't just end. Your identity can crack wide open. I sit down with Kemmi Sadler, a recently retired law enforcement professional, to talk about what it really feels like to go from “in the club” to “civilian” overnight, and why that change can pull years of grief and trauma straight to the surface. We get honest about the quiet moments after a career of composure, and the uneasy question so many first responders carry: if I'm the protector, who protects me when I finally need help? Kimmy shares how she started a deep dive into psychedelics and eventually found her way to ayahuasca in a U.S.-based church setting. We unpack the stigma around plant medicine, microdosing, and even cannabis for sleep, especially in a culture that often accepts pharmaceuticals without blinking while judging anything labeled a “drug.” The biggest takeaway isn't hype, it's the hard work: surrender, vulnerability, and the uncomfortable truth that healing can be demanding when your nervous system has been trained for vigilance and control. We also talk about her memoir, From the Badge to the Vine: Journey Through Duty, Trauma, and Healing, and how telling the raw story becomes part of destigmatizing mental health treatment for the first responder community. Then we zoom out to what's next: her Camino de Santiago pilgrimage with her dog Nona, a mental health awareness walk meant to remind people that while one path isn't for everyone, the need for healing is universal. If this conversation hits home, subscribe, share it with a coworker or a retiree, and leave a review so more first responders can find it.Here is how to reach Kemmi: www.klsadler.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kemmisadler/https://www.facebook.com/klsadlerhttps://www.instagram.com/klsadler_/www.nonasway.comhttps://www.facebook.com/NonaTheWonderDog/https://www.instagram.com/nonas_way_/Support the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast
Rob Has a Podcast | Survivor / Big Brother / Amazing Race - RHAP
John Carroll & Neleh Dennis Talk Survivor 50 Survivor 50 heats up as host Rob Cesternino welcomes Survivor Marquesas favorites Neleh Dennis and John Carroll to reflect on the season's most unpredictable moves and heartfelt connections. As Survivor 50 leans into the theme of duos, this episode dives deep into how both old school and new school strategies are playing out, and what it really means to juggle loyalty, friendship, and competition for a shot at the title. Rob is joined by Neleh and John for a special recap, putting personal connections under the microscope as the classic Marquesas bond is contrasted with today's high-speed, twist-filled gameplay. The trio revisit the fallout from the duos twist, which shook up Tribal Council and forced players to pick partners with major stakes—prompting tough debates about whether to stick with your closest ally or team up with a challenge beast. They also dissect Coach's dramatic exit, weighing in on if his larger-than-life presence is entertainment or a strategic liability, and debate whether unpredictability is ever worth the risk. Other highlights from the discussion include the evolving impact of pre-game alliances, how old school favorites like Cirie and Jonathan are keeping pace in a faster, more advantage-heavy landscape, and which challenges or game elements Neleh and John wish would return for this landmark season. Insights into heartbreak and healing in the post-game, the real-life friendships that outlast the island, and Survivor's role in bringing personal growth and reunions to the forefront all round out the conversation. Among the memorable moments and big Survivor 50 questions: – How the duos twist upended alliances and forced cutthroat decisions – Coach's legacy as a Survivor character—and what makes a player too unpredictable – Old school versus new school: Is the social game still king, or do you need constant strategic hustle? – Neleh and John's honest reflections on regret, friendship, and what they'd do differently if given another shot – The rise of challenge threats and strategic partnerships as the merge looms With the jury still out on whether Survivor 50 will live up to the hype, join Rob, Neleh, and John as they debate who can outwit, outplay, and outlast in a season packed with history and high stakes. Tune in to hear who might be voted out next, and how Survivor's classic lessons hold up in the game's boldest new era!
