Episode 153In this special episode about being securely loved by God the Father, I sit down with Isaac Wicker, a Catholic licensed therapist from Minnesota with a decade of mental health experience and host of the 'Whole Human' podcast. Isaac shares his unique upbringing in a deeply Catholic family in the Communion and Liberation Catholic movement, his transformative experiences, and his innovative 12-week program, 'Known: embraced by the Heart of the Father,' which integrates psychology and Catholic faith.This conversation is an invitation to explore the security and ease that come from being securely loved by God the Father. I see myself and Isaac as representing two very different kinds of paths towards a secure attachment with God the Father - Isaac was blessed with the experience of secure attachment in childhood while I had to learn to have an “earned secure attachment” from deep healing and integration. May this episode bring hope to listeners who struggle to feel safe with God the Father, even as it provides a glimpse of the freedom that being securely loved by the Father brings.Isaac's website | Known: Embraced by the Heart of the FatherIsaac's Podcast | Whole HumanWatch this recording on YouTube.Follow me on my Instagram account @animann for more material on the integration journey and subscribe to my monthly reflections on Begin Again.CHAPTER MARKERS[00:00] Introduction and Overview[01:21] Meet the Guest: Isaac Wicker[07:32] The Importance of Big Questions[18:17] Isaac's Childhood Memories and Family Dynamics[30:25] The Importance of Secure Attachment in Repentance[38:37] Embodying Faith Organically as a Therapist[51:31] Focusing on Loving vs Fixing Someone[58:32] The Journey of Becoming[01:00:14] Operating Outside the Boxes of Psychology and Religion[01:14:38] The Known Program: Healing with God the Father[01:22:50] The Importance of Showing Up and Being Honest[01:31:40] Conclusion and Final ThoughtsREFLECTION PROMPTWhat has been your relationship with failure and repentance?

Part of their season-long "Your Divorce Case" conversation, this episode explores how attorneys navigate the complex dynamics of presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and adapting their approach as trials unfold.

Their conversation reveals the complex reality behind courtroom proceedings, including how judges signal their thinking and why settlement offers often play a crucial role in defining success.Questions we answer in this episode:What happens when you finally take the witness stand?How do attorneys measure success in divorce court?Why don't clients really get their "day in court"?Key Takeaways:Trial momentum can shift dramatically between daysYour attorney should be completely transparent about how the case is progressingThe best outcome often beats the last settlement offer, not necessarily "wins" everythingWhether you're headed to trial or trying to decide if you should settle, this episode offers crucial insights into how divorce trials really work.

We kick off a new series about doubt. Here's the discussion questions mentioned at the end of the message: Discussion Questions: 1/5/2025 1. Relating to Doubt ◦ Have you ever experienced a "bitter laugh" like Sarah's, where disappointment or hopelessness made belief difficult? ◦ How does acknowledging the doubts of biblical figures like Abraham and Sarah change your perspective on your own doubts? 2. Faith and Doubt Coexisting ◦ What does it mean to you that "faith isn't the absence of doubt, but acting despite doubt"? ◦ Can you recall a moment when you acted in faith despite uncertainty? What was the result? 3. Being Honest with God ◦ Why do you think it's challenging to be fully honest with God about doubts or fears? ◦ How might your relationship with God change if you felt free to bring your doubts to Him? 4. God's Faithfulness Amid Doubt ◦ What stands out to you about God's response to Sarah's laughter and doubt? ◦ How does it encourage you to know that God's promises are based on His character rather than your belief or faithfulness? 5. Personalizing the Story ◦ In what ways can you relate to Abraham and Sarah's journey of waiting and doubt? ◦ How do you think God might be working through your doubts right now, even if you don't see the outcome yet? 6. Transforming Doubt into Joy ◦ Sarah's doubt turned into joy when Isaac was born. What does this transformation teach us about God's ability to redeem moments of disbelief? ◦ Where in your life are you longing for God to turn bitterness into joy? 7. Doubt as an Invitation ◦ How might doubt be inviting you to deepen your understanding or relationship with God? ◦ What steps could you take this week to explore your doubts instead of suppressing them? 8. Faith as a Journey ◦ How does the concept that "doubt doesn't exclude you from Christianity" resonate with you? ◦ In what ways can doubt be a tool for spiritual growth rather than a barrier?

It's tempting to fudge the truth to shift the blame or make yourself look better.  But you might be surprised at how much your honesty is honored by God and appreciated by others!

The host, Gina Ryan, explores the phenomenon of relaxation-induced anxiety, a state where individuals feel uptight or nervous once they attempt to unwind. Research indicates that approximately 15% of the population is prone to experiencing anxiety as they begin to relax, leading to a significant number of individuals struggling with this issue. The discussion focuses on identifying the obstacles to relaxation-induced anxiety, such as monitoring one's thoughts and body sensations that may interfere with moments of quiet. Suggestions are offered on recognizing physical signs of anxiety, such as increased heart rate, shallow breathing, stiff muscles, and clenched jaw, as indicators of the body's response to underlying thoughts or emotions. To manage relaxation-induced anxiety, the importance of accepting one's feelings with compassion and acknowledging life's challenges is emphasized. Listeners are encouraged to gradually incorporate relaxation techniques into their routine without imposing high expectations that could lead to additional stress. Strategies like increasing mindfulness, being specific in guiding the mind and body towards relaxation, and giving oneself meaningful rewards are recommended to ease into a relaxed state without triggering anxiety. The episode underscores the significance of honesty with oneself, facing important tasks, and choosing meaningful rewards to reinforce positive habits. Serving others is highlighted as a powerful tool to diminish minor worries and distractions, offering a pathway to peace and relaxation. Ultimately, the host stresses the importance of developing personalized strategies to address individual anxiety triggers gradually and become comfortable with the process of unwinding. The episode concludes with a poignant quote emphasizing the impact of our reactions to stress on our well-being. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dicky BarrettTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Richard Michael Barrett. Better know as Dicky; he is also called The Godfather of Skacore. Dicky is former frontman and founding member of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and current frontman and founder of the new super group The Defiant. In this episode, we chat about how he came to be the bow-tied plaid leader of The Bosstones, and some of the cool things he got to do along the way. He tells the story of getting to open for The Misfits while he was still in high school, as well as getting to play Fenway Park many years later. Dicky shares stories of meeting and befriending Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel when they were just getting started; and some of the fun things he got to do as a result of these friendships. Adam uses Bosstones' songs in the intro and outro of his Adam Carolla Show podcast; and Dicky was the announcer for Jimmy Kimmel Live for nearly 20 years. Of course, I ask Dicky if I can play my all time favorite MMB song... and he says yes! Obviously we discuss how MMB ended up in the cult classic iconic film Clueless, and what made them decide to do it. Next, Dicky explains what happened between him and the other Bosstones, as well as his relationship with the Jimmy Kimmel Live late night show. Finally, we discuss his new band The Defiant. This super group features former members of: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Offspring, Smash Mouth, Street Dogs, and The Briggs. The Defiant is: Pete Parada, Greg Camp, Johnny Rioux, Joey LaRocca, and Dicky Barrett. Their debut album "If We're Being Honest" was released in late October 2023. Naturally I ask him if I can play my favorite song from this new album.... and Dicky said yes again! I had such a blast talking with Dicky, I think we are best friends now! Don't be surprised if you hear more from Dicky on Fascination Street Podcast. This dude is rad as balls. Thanks Dicky! And thanks Mike Dawson, you know what you did.

They emphasize the importance of open communication, honesty about money, and being supportive in a relationship. They also discuss the significance of being kind to others and being responsible and independent. TakeawaysCreate a comprehensive list of qualities you desire in a partner, categorizing them into non-negotiables, important characteristics, and bonuses.Open communication, honesty about money, and financial stability are crucial for a healthy relationship.Kindness, supportiveness, and a sense of humor are important traits to consider.Physical appearance should be seen as a bonus rather than the most important factor in a relationship.Chapters00:00 Creating the List01:07 Subsections within the List02:24 Reflecting on Life and January03:37 Saying No and Making Room04:28 Analyzing Different Characteristics05:22 Defining Smart and Good Looking06:18 Attractiveness and Perception07:36 Sense of Humor08:31 Physical Fitness09:23 Appearance and Changeable Traits10:44 Teeth and Physical Appearance11:44 Body Parts and Preferences12:42 Being Alive and Active13:08 Being Honest and Communicative13:42 Financial Stability14:59 Being Responsible and Independent15:34 Being Supportive and Encouraging16:06 Equal Partnership16:57 Sexual Compatibility17:47 Being Chivalrous18:18 Financial Abuse19:29 Honesty About Money20:23 Communication About Finances21:45 Being Nice to Others22:58 How They Speak About Exes23:56 Being Kind24:24 Handiness25:14 Being Non-Judgmental26:48 Not Mocking Each Other27:58 Height Preference29:04 Being Well-Dressed30:21 Having Children32:30 Being a Cat Lover33:53 Being Open-Minded34:13 Considering the Overall Compatibility35:12 Non-Negotiable Traits36:27 Finding Someone for Everybody37:05 Importance of Financial Stability38:50 Love, Care, and Security41:02 Prioritizing Kids42:16 Being Kind to Animals43:07 Accommodating Pets45:11 Closing Remarks Email us at justhairmeoutpodcast@gmail.comWatch epdisodes on our YouTube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@JustHairMeOutVenmo @Barbara-BodilyAny donations are welcome and appreciated to support the producing of this podcast.Facebook: Just.Hair.Me.OutInstagram: just.hair.me.out.podcastTikTok: @just.hair.me.out

Hello everyone! 2024 is here and we are keeping the inspiration coming! Today marks the 4th day in a row where we are looking at our past so that we can move forward. Re-energizing. Re-focusing. Remembering who we are and why we do the things we do—why we push to be better every single day. This one hits on a lot of levels for me personally, so I hope it does for you, too. Enjoy, and thank you for those who are listening and sharing these episodes. Let's keep pushing forward to the 2024 resolutions coming later this week!   FROM THE ORIGINAL EPISODE:  It has become quite the tradition around here to have a New Years episode where I lay out what I think are solid resolutions for teachers. Not the be-all, end-all, of course…but maybe a little something to set you on a path for success in your work. Resolutions for 2020, 2021, and 2022 can be found by clicking on the dates in this sentence! For this year, I am laying out the top 3 resolutions I believe are going to serve us the best in our work. They are: Being HONEST about our needs, wants, feelings, perspectives, and thoughts Working for our PERSONAL BALANCE, not balance dictated to us by social media Focusing on where we need GROWTH in our lives to be better and happier individuals

In the last episode of Seasoned Dialogue for 2023, I reflect on the year and encourage you to do the same. A series of introspective questions, urging listeners to consider their personal growth, relationships, and goals. I emphasize the importance of being authentic, staying consistent with values and morals, and being open to spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, I encourage self-compassion, kindness towards others, and belief in one's own abilities. The episode ends with a message of gratitude for the audience and looks forward to the new year, emphasizing alignment with purpose, self-empowerment, and positive growth.Lesson 1: Being AuthenticEmbrace your true self, discard masks and societal expectations, and let your authenticity shine in every aspect of your life.Lesson 2: Consistency in ValuesUphold your beliefs and principles, have honest conversations when someone's behavior contradicts your values, and stand firm.Lesson 3: Being Honest with GodEstablish a genuine, open relationship with God, communicating freely and seeking guidance without holding back.Lesson 4: Graceful LivingEmbrace your humanity, acknowledge mistakes, and allow yourself grace and room for growth without being too hard on yourself.Lesson 5: Kindness & CompassionPractice empathy, refrain from judgment, and extend kindness and compassion to others without imposing personal biases.Lesson 6: Self-belief & EmpowermentOvercome self-doubt, break free from past failures, and believe in your capabilities to pursue your aspirations fearlessly.Lesson 7: Rising After FailureEmbrace resilience, bounce back from setbacks, and empower yourself to rise above challenges, and continue striving for success.Lesson 8: Lifting Others UpSupport and uplift those around you, acknowledge their strengths, and offer encouragement and praise to inspire and motivate them.Lesson 9: Distance from NegativityGuard your peace, avoid toxic influences, and set boundaries to shield yourself from negative energy in your relationships.Lesson 10: Trusting Divine Guidance Recognize and follow the signs, trust in the guidance of God, and allow things to unfold organically without forcing outcomes.Support the show

In this episode, Dan bravely shares his journey towards sobriety. He dives into his past, speaking about the childhood sexual abuse he endured and how this led him to use alcohol as a coping mechanism. Despite these significant struggles, he found strength in his determination not to give up and decided to take control of his life. Dan shares how helpful therapy was in processing his traumatic experiences and how turning to books and podcasts, like 'The Sober Motivation Podcast', helped him maintain his sobriety. Now 140 days sober, Dan shares the clarity he has found in his life and the increased appreciation he now has for everyday things once taken for granted.   Also on this episode I sat down with Dan Karaty the Author of If I'm Being Honest. Dan shares some of the details about writing the book and the reasons behind it. ---------------
