Emma Lyons is a trauma-informed healer and founder of The Trauma Matrix, where she helps women break up with the shame voice that's been sabotaging their success, relationships, and visibility for years. After studying law and international human rights, Emma turned away from a life path that looked good on paper but felt like slow death, and spent the next decade deep in the healing world. Despite all the therapy, yoga, mindset work, and energy practices, she still found herself stuck in loops of self-erasure, burnout, and invisibility. Finally she uncovered the deeper truth: she'd internalized a narcissistic system of control, and it was running her from the inside out. Having broken free from these constraints, Emma now helps high-functioning, heart-led women dismantle that inner narcissist, the shame voice that humiliates, controls, and impersonates them, so they can reclaim clarity, power, and nervous system freedom.5 Steps to Break up with Inner Narcissist

In this enlightening episode of the We Are Women Podcast, I speak with Adele Spraggon — an award-winning author, thought leader, and internationally recognized behavioral change expert who is transforming the way we think about the brain and personal empowerment. Adele knows firsthand what it feels like to be stuck in patterns that don't serve us. After experiencing panic attacks and realizing she was running on autopilot, she began a journey to understand how the brain creates, repeats, and holds us in patterns of behavior. What she discovered changed her life — and has since changed the lives of thousands of people around the world. Through her bestselling book, Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment, and her unique four-step method rooted in neuroplasticity, Adele helps individuals deconstruct old patterns, rewire their brains, and create new, empowering ways of thinking and acting. Her framework — Action, Behaviour, Belief — guides people to: Identify their patterns Own them Deconstruct them Create new ones that support growth and success Our conversation dives into why willpower alone doesn't work, the importance of subtracting rather than adding to overcome challenges, and how we can learn to embrace uncertainty without fear. Adele also unpacks some of the most common behavioral patterns she sees in women — including people pleasing, conflict avoidance, and rescuing — and how to break free from them. Listeners will take away powerful insights, including: why addressing brain patterns is the key to solving life's toughest problems, how to build emotional strength in an uncertain world, and the science behind increasing your confidence levels. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt stuck in self-sabotage, frustrated by repeating old habits, or ready to unlock their fullest potential. Adele's blend of neuroscience, compassion, and practical tools will leave you feeling empowered to shift your patterns and step into lasting transformation.

EP152 of The Authentic Human Podcast revolutionizes emotional healing simply by sharing universal truth. Part 77 of The Story of Creation is a groundbreaking exploration for anyone looking for true spiritual growth and self awareness as Michelle reveals why humans exist. Speaking through Michelle, The Creator and other Universal Beings explain how universal creation expanded through the birth of the Second Stream Angelics—Beings who were tasked with expanding on the creation of matter to create Experience. Detailing the importance of what this contribution to creation meant for The Universe and humanity and how it redefined evolution itself. Building on the foundation of matter, Michelle explains how creation and experience are inseparable, and why humanity was designed to explore existence through curiosity, awareness, and play. You were not created to follow rules—you were created to break limits, challenge boundaries, and expand the consciousness of the universe through participation. The Creator, First Stream, and Second Stream Angelics all collaborate in the process of creation. The Creator formed the original intention for existence in this universe. First Stream Angelics create all aspects of matter in existence including all the components of matter. The Second Stream Angelics bring matter to life by creating experiences. Humanity is a collaboration of The Creator and the First and Second Stream Angelics. You're here to explore your potential by exploring opportunities in both matter and experience as well as the original intention of our universe – free will. This episode exposes the false beliefs of judgment, fear, and control that have limited human potential for tens of thousands of years. Michelle uncovers how the universe responds to your energy, reminding you of your brilliance and supporting your evolution. The more you recognize your value, the more the universe collaborates with you. The Story of Creation is The Creator's opportunity to share universal truth that you are a vital part of creation, existence and evolution. Humanity's future depends on each of us remembering that we are co-creators of existence, designed to expand consciousness through participation on a soul level. 0:00 – The Birth of the Second Stream Angelics 2:03 – Matter and the Origin of Experience 5:47 – Creation and Experience: The Core of Existence 6:51 – The Importance of Your Role in the Universe 8:43 – How the Universe Responds to Your Energy 11:35 – Empathy, Intention, and Universal Awareness 13:02 – The Purpose of Play in Universal Creation 16:06 – Breaking Free from Fear, Limits, and Judgment 18:06 – Remembering You Were Created to Break the Rules 21:10 – How Fear Sustains Human Control Systems 22:00 – The True Path to Fulfillment 25:25 – Play as Evolution: Accepting Universal Opportunity 30:35 – Restoring Communication with the Universe ➤ Subscribe to The Authentic Human Podcast to dive deeper into universal truth. ➤ Hit the bell to get notified when new explorations drop. ➤ Comment below: What is your deepest question you've never asked — start now.

Unfocused. Not living up to potential. Dr. G thought that about himself for decades… until at 41, he discovered he actually has ADHD. Suddenly the lost keys, unfinished projects, chronic lateness, sensory overwhelm, and shame all made sense. In this intimate solo episode, Dr. G breaks down the neuroscience of adult ADHD, the trauma-based model Gabor Maté teaches, why the default mode network hijacks focus, how stimulant medications impact dopamine long term, and the lifestyle + supplement strategies backed by research. In This Episode: • How ADHD shows up in adults (and why it gets mislabeled as character flaws) • Why high-functioning people go decades without knowing they have ADHD • What the brain science actually reveals about focus, motivation & time perception • The Gabor Maté trauma model — ADHD as adaptation vs disorder • The stimulant conversation: benefits, risks, and dependency realities • Lifestyle anchors that support the ADHD brain (sleep times, routines, movement) • Research-backed supplements that can help support attention Key Takeaways: ✅ ADHD isn't laziness — it's neurodevelopment + nervous system wiring ✅ Trauma in childhood shapes time perception and attention patterns ✅ Medication can help, but informed consent is essential ✅ Exercise, structure, breathwork, and key nutrients truly support regulation ✅ Compassion — not shame — is what actually unlocks change Timestamps: 0:00 - Discovering I Have ADHD at 41 1:04 - My Entire Life Suddenly Made Sense 2:39 - The Idyllwild Moment: How I Found Out 4:45 - Everyone Knew But Me 7:31 - The Real Science Behind ADHD 13:56 - Childhood Signs I Missed 17:31 - What ADHD Actually Is (Not Laziness) 19:33 - Gabor Maté: ADHD as Adaptation to Stress 22:39 - Breaking Free from Shame 24:03 - The Truth About Adderall & Stimulants 26:49 - Natural Tools That Actually Help 28:15 - My Action Plan Moving Forward

Why can some foods sit untouched in your pantry for weeks, while others feel impossible to resist the moment they enter your house? It's not about willpower—it's neuroscience. In this episode, I reveal why both avoiding trigger foods and giving yourself full permission backfire, and share a science-based third option that actually works.If you've ever felt powerless around certain foods while having complete control over others, this episode will help you understand what's really happening in your brain and how to change it.You'll discover:• The real reason certain foods have power over you—and how your brain has wired emotional context to specific foods over time• Why the "either-or trap" of avoidance versus permission keeps you stuck in the restrict-binge cycle and reinforces the neural pathways working against you• A 3-step method from the Crave to Clear framework to rewire your brain's automatic response: identify the wiring (not the food), interrupt the automatic pattern, and rewire through consistent practiceThis is for women who are ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the root cause of emotional and binge eating.Ready to work with your cravings instead of against them?

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as "food stamps," SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Why Trying to “Fix” Anxiety Keeps You Stuck | Understanding the Anxiety LoopMost people believe the key to healing from anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts is to get rid of them.But what if the harder you try to stop anxiety, the more anxious you actually become?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, Matt Codde, LCSW explains the paradox of anxiety recovery — why resistance and control keep you trapped in the anxiety loop, and how true healing begins when you stop fighting your inner experience.If you've been coping, managing, or constantly searching for ways to feel “less anxious,” this episode will help you understand why those strategies backfire — and what to do instead.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson reflect on the recent DE (Dynamic Essentials) experience, how it reignited their purpose, strengthened their certainty, and reminded them why they serve. Dynamic Essentials has been a pivotal force throughout their chiropractic journey, helping them stay connected to the principle and the calling that drives them. Wake Up Humans, it's time to roar.

Here's the message I'll never stop sharing: if you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus and experiencing vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections, or maybe bladder infections, you need to pay attention. If you're waking up feeling tired and dragging through the rest of the day, reaching for caffeine every chance you get, your body is trying to tell you something. If you're having anxious thoughts racing through your mind, constantly thinking about this virus and what it could do and how it could ruin your life, you're not alone. If you're feeling constipated or bloated, or just like you're not digesting your food well, and you have a sense that something's off with your gut or your microbiome, listen to that. If your menstrual cycle is making you feel worse every time your period comes with cramping and bleeding, or maybe your cycle is irregular, or even if you're postmenopausal, these are all messages from your body. If any of these things are occurring for you, the last thing you should do is ignore the HPV, because everything I just described is literally your body begging for your attention to help it correct these situations in order to clear high-risk HPV to negative. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and I look forward to sharing with you why you should not just wait and worry to see if high-risk HPV is going to cause abnormal cells or cause cancer when there's so much you can do to prevent it from happening. I'm here to help you!

Tim Packer  - Tim Packer Art Academy On the Truth: "I mean the universities and colleges are failing them just miserably." We all remember being kids and making art of some kind.  Water colors, macaroni pictures, maybe even some Play-Doh creatures.  But did you ever think you could make a living from it?  Tim Packer realized he could. In this candid conversation, Tim Packer pulls back the curtain on the realities of the art world, busting myths about the "starving artist" and explaining why most universities and mainstream art advice miss the mark for artists hoping to make a living from their passion. He details how he leveraged both his artistic talent and business savvy to grow his own career, how he turned his mentorship of a young artist into a global success story, and how his experiences inspired him to launch his online academy to help others achieve the same. Listen as Tim explains how to enjoy what you do and make some good money doing it. Enjoy!

Because I quit my job and walked away from my pension as a police officer when I was 40 to give this another try. My goal was if I could ever just make as much as what I would have made had I stayed and gone on pension, then it'll be a wash, right? Well, I far surpass that. But while I was in there, you know, just kind of and watching the sales go up and I was mentally crunching the numbers because this was November, and I thought, holy. Know what? I'm going to make over a quarter million dollars this year. As an artist.

Connect with me here! Send me a text message! Fear is one of the enemy's favorite tools to distract and discourage God's daughters. It may show up as anxiety, intimidation, nightmares, spiritual oppression, or fascination with dark things. God invites us into a life free from fear through the power of His truth and His presence.As Halloween approaches, it's important to take a biblical look at what we participate in and celebrate—especially as moms leading our homes spiritually.Now I want to approach this with grace — no shame, no judgment. Every family is on a journey. But scripture encourages us to use wisdom and discernment.Ephesians 5:11 — “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”1️⃣ It Normalizes Darkness & Evil2️⃣ It Desensitizes Kids to the Enemy's Influence3️⃣ It Is Spiritually Rooted in FearSO HOW DO WE BREAK FREE FROM FEAR?✅ 1️⃣ Replace Fear With TruthFear grows in the absence of truth.John 8:36 — “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”Every time fear speaks, speak back with scripture. “I'm alone” → God is with me (Joshua 1:9) “I'm not safe” → God is my defender (Psalm 91)✅ 2️⃣ Close Any Doors the Enemy Has UsedSometimes fear comes from what we entertain:Scary moviesDark imageryWitchcraft or supernatural fascinationJames 4:7 — “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”Pray through your home. Ask the Holy Spirit: “What needs to go?”This doesn't have to be dramatic — it's just taking spiritual authority.✅ 3️⃣ Fill Your Home With LightFear cannot thrive where God is welcomed.Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?”Practical ideas:Worship music in the backgroundScripture on wallsPrayer and gratitude moments as a familyLet your home become a sanctuary of peace.Fear doesn't get to lead your story. You are a daughter of the light. The enemy has no power over you.Psalm 34:4 — “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”Take a deep breath — God is with you.

Key PointsRod describes his transformation from opioid addiction as "night and day" explaining that he now has hope, a house, and family whereas previously he had nothing.Medical complications began in 2015 when Rod developed gallstones stuck in his pancreatic duct, leading to gallbladder removal surgery followed by seven months of hospitalization with fentanyl, lauded, or morphine administered every four hours.Hospital discharge resulted in doctors prescribing 250-500 pills at a time with instructions to return for more if needed, leading Rod to take twice the recommended dosage without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.Rod died on the operating table during April 2015 surgery with doctors calling his children to say goodbye, but he survived and spent another seven months in the hospital bed receiving intravenous drugs every four hours.Five years of cycling between hospital admissions and discharges followed, with Rod spending 15 months out of two years hospitalized, yet no doctor ever suggested he might be addicted to the medications being administered.Recognition of addiction never occurred to Rod during this period, as he genuinely believed he was sick and had no awareness of his dependency on opioids.A friend's suggestion to try marijuana came after Rod's girlfriend left and he had deteriorated to 150 pounds, appearing gaunt and pale, despite his initial 35-year abstinence from cannabis due to anti-drug beliefs.Cannabis immediately eliminated the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that characterized Rod's opioid withdrawal symptoms, which doctors had been misdiagnosing as pancreatitis and treating with more opioids.Additional health improvements from cannabis use included elimination of atrial fibrillation, cessation of cigarette smoking, and complete sobriety from alcohol since 2014.Rod's lowest point involved suicidal ideation until his two-year-old granddaughter sat on his lap and fell asleep, making him realize he couldn't leave her to deal with his death.Multiple family members and friends have died from opioid-related overdoses, including his best friend's son from heroin in 2015, a cousin from fentanyl-laced cocaine on Christmas morning, and two nieces currently struggling with methadone or heroin addiction.Transition from opioids to cannabis occurred overnight without difficulty, and Rod has not required hospitalization since beginning cannabis use, contrasting sharply with his previous constant medical interventions.Rod argues that cannabis serves as a "gateway drug" away from harmful substances toward better health, citing his own experience and noting that marijuana withdrawal causes only temporary irritability without life-threatening complications.All of Rod's current doctors are aware of his cannabis use and none have advised him to stop, though they have recommended against alcohol consumption, suggesting medical professionals recognize cannabis benefits despite legal restrictions.

In this week's Surviving Roots episode, Cari Fund sits down with Lauren Smallcomb — certified mind-body practitioner, trauma survivor, and author of Golden Child: My Descent to Scapegoat and Rise to Freedom.

You'll hear: ✨ The painful shift from golden child to scapegoat ✨ How patriarchy and religion shaped her silence ✨ Why acceptance (not forgiveness) is where healing begins ✨ What parenting looks like after breaking generational cycles Grab Golden Child wherever books are sold and follow Lauren's work at @flourish_therapy and @goldenchildbook.

Do we even realize that we're creating a life based on what other people like, instead of our own preferences? I loved this casual, relatable conversation with Courtney Florey of Declutter & Dwell to explore a surprisingly powerful way to prevent clutter before it starts: Getting clear on your personal preferences. Together, we unpack: Why developing contentment is key to simplifying your home and your habits Practical actions to uncover what you truly love (beyond trends or what others say you “should” like) How knowing your preferences helps you make confident decisions when shopping or decorating My somewhat embarrassing story of subconsciously making purchases to impress the internet—and how cutting back on sharing my family revealed this underlying motivation This episode is a reminder that a clutter-free home doesn't just come from organizing better—it starts with knowing yourself better.

Muriel Wilkins is the Author of Leadership Unblocked: Break Through the Beliefs That Limit Your Potential. In this episode, Muriel shares how even the most accomplished leaders can unknowingly hold onto beliefs that keep them stuck, and what to do to move beyond them. Drawing from over 20 years of executive coaching, she unpacks common “hidden blockers” like perfectionism, urgency, and overinvolvement, and explains how leaders can shift from default thinking to conscious leadership. Muriel and Al also explore how intergenerational tension, constant change, and  uncertainty challenge leaders today, and why self-awareness and perspective are the keys to unblocking potential at every level of leadership.LinksMuriel's Website: https://www.murielwilkins.com/ Muriel's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/murielwilkins/ Muriel's Book: https://www.murielwilkins.com/book/leadership-unblocked

L&D has long carried the “hangover” of legacy expectations: delivering courses, creating content, and measuring completions. But in 2025, those skills won't cut it - and they could even put the profession at risk of being replaced by AI. In this episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, David James is joined by Candice Mitchell - consultant, founder of the Talent Development Academy, and researcher into L&D's future skills - to explore the next chapter for L&D. Together, they unpack the critical capabilities every practitioner needs now: from business acumen and consulting skills to the human strengths that AI can't replicate. Candice also shares her Impact Toolkit and five-spoke model for reframing the role of L&D, plus practical advice for professionals who feel stuck as reactive order-takers. If you want to move beyond legacy expectations and position yourself as a true business partner, this is the episode you can't afford to miss. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS Businesses have to let go of the training course “comfort blanket”. Now, we need strategic skills development. Teams that do not change will be replaced by AI. AI skills will soon be standard. The human capabilities you bring beyond technology will set you apart. Candice's Impact Toolkit equips you to transition from order taker to strategic partner.

She escaped the walls of control; now she's shedding light on the abuse that keeps others trapped. In this powerful continuation of our two-part conversation, Justin Yentes sits down once again with Rachel Jeffs, survivor, author, and daughter of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, and Tawni Browning, an advocate for survivors. Together, they go deeper into what comes after escape, the struggle to learn how to exist in a world you don't understand while finding the basics needed to survive... and all of that has to be done while healing from abuse, parenting, and building a sustainable life. Rachel's story doesn't end with freedom; it begins there. In Part 2, she and Tawni open up about the backlash survivors face, the systems that fail them, and the community it takes to help people truly start over. This episode is a lesson in resilience, advocacy, and the enduring power of truth. How Rachel continues to receive hate from within the FLDS community. What it takes to help survivors rebuild: housing, mental health support, etc. The impact of the series “Escaping Polygamy” on those still inside the FLDS. The fear, relearning, and healing needed to step into a world you were taught to fear. What you can do to support survivors by advocating for protections and accountability. This episode is for anyone who believes that awareness isn't enough, that survival stories must lead to systemic change. Whether you're a survivor, an advocate, or someone trying to understand the realities of cult control and coercive systems, this conversation will deepen your understanding and strengthen your resolve. Be sure to listen to Part 1 first to hear Rachel's full story of survival and escape, then join us for this powerful continuation.

In today's episode, I shared five techniques to stop overthinking and start taking purposeful action. Overthinking is just interference; it keeps us stuck in fear, mistaking thought for progress. Real growth happens when we align our thoughts, emotions, and actions with purpose. From letting go of what doesn't serve you to acting before doubt creeps in, these tools help you stay in flow and move with faith instead of fear. When you live with gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, and inspiration, clarity replaces confusion, and progress becomes effortless. Stop overanalyzing, start acting with purpose today.
