Yet this condition affects millions of men and their partners—and it matters more than you think. In this episode, we're breaking the stigma around delayed ejaculation. We explore the medical causes (medications, injuries, conditions), the psychological factors (anxiety, performance pressure, relationship dynamics), the real impact on partnerships, and most importantly, what actually helps. If you're experiencing this yourself, supporting a partner through it, or just believe sexual health deserves honest conversation—this one's for you. Support the showWant More?

  What does it really take to leave an abusive relationship—and how can community save lives?     In this deeply moving episode of the PowerWomen Podcast, co-hosts Claire Brown and Gayatri Agnew sit down with Camryn Ross and her mother, Andrea Sayre, to break the silence around domestic violence, shame, and survival. Together, they share a raw, multi-generational conversation about the emotional manipulation that keeps women trapped, the courage it takes to reclaim self-worth, and why leaving is a process—not a single moment.     This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical guidance for anyone impacted by domestic abuse—directly or indirectly. You'll hear why women often attempt to leave multiple times, how isolation erodes confidence, and why empathy and presence matter more than judgment. Most importantly, this conversation highlights real resources, real support systems, and real pathways to safety and healing.

Takeaways: - Care begins long before diagnosis.- Every four minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in India.- The fear of the unknown keeps women away from screenings.- 70-80% of breast cancer patients have no family history.- Know your breasts; self-examination is crucial.- Breast cancer is not a death sentence; it is treatable, especially when caught early.- Every year, gift yourself a preventive health checkup.- Normalize conversations about women's health at home and in society.- Empathy and communication are key in patient care.- Your health is as important as anyone else's; prioritize it.In this episode of Soul Velocity, host Snehal R Singh engages in a profound conversation with Dr. Namrita Singhal Sawant, a breast consultant radiologist, about the critical importance of early detection and prevention in women's health, particularly concerning breast cancer. Dr. Namrita shares her personal journey, which began at the tender age of ten when she witnessed her grandmother succumb to breast cancer. This pivotal moment ignited her passion for women's health advocacy and early detection, leading her to explore the stark differences in breast cancer awareness and screening protocols between India and the United States. The discussion highlights the alarming statistics surrounding breast cancer in India, where many women are diagnosed at advanced stages due to a lack of awareness and cultural stigmas surrounding screenings.The conversation delves into the fears that prevent women from seeking preventive care, such as the fear of the unknown and misconceptions about mammography. Dr. Namrita emphasizes the importance of self-examination and regular screenings, urging women to prioritize their health and dispel the myths surrounding breast cancer. The episode concludes with a hopeful vision for the future of preventive healthcare in India, advocating for a cultural shift towards prioritizing women's health and normalizing conversations about breast cancer. Dr. Namrita's work aims to create a domino effect of awareness and early detection, ultimately saving lives and empowering women to take charge of their health.Programs by Snehal - https://linktr.ee/snehalrsinghAll books by MSW - https://linktr.ee/mindspiritworksLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/snehalrsingh/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/snehalrsinghInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mindspiritworksFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mindspiritworksllcYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SnehalRSinghCompany site - https://www.mindspiritworks.com/

— The deep emotional pain you carry seeps into every part of life - waves of intense sadness, anxiety, or sudden anger that leave you drained. Thoughts spin endlessly, relationships grow tense, and exhaustion becomes constant. At times, you no longer recognize yourself, as though something unseen is shaping your feelings. It feels like you're losing control of your own life, and no one truly understands the depth of your suffering. For others, the pain is in watching a loved one change before their eyes. A partner, child, or parent becomes withdrawn, irritable, or almost unrecognizable, and nothing explains the sudden shift. When distress lingers without reason and nothing seems to help, the true cause may be something rarely discussed: spirit attachment—also known as spirit possession. This subtle influence can affect anyone, quietly disrupting emotional balance, physical well-being, and inner peace. Since 1968, the Dr. Wanda Pratnicka Center has quietly helped over 10,000 people worldwide find freedom from these unexplained symptoms. With formal education and five decades of experience, we understand what you're going through—and we know how to help. Our findings are documented in five books, including Possessed by Ghosts, translated into nine languages.  But what matters most is this: this suffering is real, and healing is possible. Valeria interviews Mike Pratnicka— He is the co-founder of The Dr. Wanda Pratnicka Center.  Mike gained a tremendous amount of spiritual insight about spirit attachment removal under Wanda's mentorship. Today, he performs the removals using Wanda's method. Thanks to Michael's ability to speak English and German, he handles all media inquiries, lectures and events in English & German languages. Wanda Pratnicka, PhD. - internationally recognized leader in esoteric science and a leading voice in spirit attachment phenomenon. She dealt with tens of thousands of people around the world who have suffered from emotional/mental disturbances and physical illnesses that were considered to be incurable. Wanda's unique ability is that she is able to diagnose and remove spirit entities, aka ghosts, from people remotely; no matter where a person is located. Wanda is also the author of the book series In the Wheel of Life Volumes 1-3. Her most recent book is Know the Truth and Be Free.

In this eye-opening episode, Kevin sits down with three powerful women on the front lines of one of the most misunderstood crises in America.Gina Jernukian, founder of Soul Survivor Ink… author-educator Geraldine Donaher… and national survivor-leader Shanna Parker, who works directly with trafficked youth across Arizona.Together, they expose the hidden world of coercive control, branding, and trafficking — and reveal how awareness, compassion, and action can save lives.Shanna brings the raw, unfiltered reality of working with trafficked minors every day — offering insights that only someone who has survived and now rescues others can share.From understanding how traffickers groom through trust and love, to learning why survivors are branded like property, this conversation is a wake-up call, a blueprint for protection, and a reminder that knowledge is the only real immunity.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Michelle Jewsbury. The two talk about talk about transforming personal trauma into global advocacy, building educational opportunities for survivors in Sierra Leone and Ghana, and the challenges of leading a nonprofit devoted to empowering survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. In this episode, we discuss: How Michelle Jewsbury transformed her personal experience surviving severe domestic violence into the founding of Unsilenced Voices, using settlement funds from her lawsuit to launch a nonprofit dedicated to empowering survivors globally. What inspired Michelle's international expansion—from bartending in Hollywood to establishing programs in Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Rwanda, where her organization now supports approximately 1,800 individuals across two villages. When Michelle recognized her calling to create broader impact, channeling her one-woman play about abuse into a published memoir and curating "Breaking the Silence," a collection of survivor stories addressing trauma, trafficking, addiction, and grief. Why persistence defines effective leadership—Michelle shares a powerful lesson from India: "It is not up to us to finish the project. It is up to us to start it," urging nonprofit leaders to overcome imposter syndrome. How Unsilenced Voices plans for sustainable growth, including building a dedicated school in Sierra Leone for vocational training, counseling, and medical support to break cycles of abuse and dependency.   Michelle Jewsbury, a dynamic force in transforming personal stories into powerful narratives, is the founder and CEO of Unsilenced Voices. With a mission to empower survivors of pain and trauma, Michelle has emerged as an internationally recognized speaker, coach, and advocate. Renowned for her expertise in translating adversity into business and personal success, she has graced stages across the globe. From sharing her journey of breaking the cycle of abuse, Michelle inspires individuals to transform their own stories into impactful narratives. As the driving force behind Unsilenced Voices, Michelle Jewsbury is dedicated to engaging business owners, entrepreneurs and organizations harness the transformative power of their stories.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this podcast episode #150 we shine a light on the real experiences of early-career medical professionals and listening to the voices of junior doctors. I'm your host, Dr. Sarah Smith, and today we're joined by Victoria Lister—researcher, workplace coach, and passionate advocate for change in healthcare. Diving into the hidden struggles junior doctors face: the culture of silence, the impact of discrimination and burnout, and the critical importance of psychological safety at work. Victoria shares her research and personal insights on why so many doctors feel unable to speak up, and what leaders and colleagues can do to create safer, more supportive environments. Whether you're a medical professional, a student, or simply interested in the future of healthcare, this conversation is packed with eye-opening stories and practical advice. Let's get started! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: The Culture of Silence in Medicine: Junior doctors often feel unable to speak up about their working conditions due to fear of retaliation, career setbacks, and entrenched hierarchies. This silence can have serious consequences for both staff wellbeing and patient safety. Psychological Safety is Essential: Creating environments where junior doctors feel safe to voice concerns is crucial. Leadership that listens, acts, and genuinely supports staff can transform toxic workplaces into supportive, high-performing teams. Discrimination and Burnout are Widespread: Issues like bullying, harassment, and discrimination—based on gender, race, or background—are still prevalent in medical training. Addressing these challenges requires systemic change, open conversations, and collective action to ensure a healthier future for all healthcare professionals. Meet Victoria Lister: Victoria Lister is a researcher in the Business School at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. Her PhD research investigates junior doctors' working conditions silences and how the medical profession acts as a barrier to voice. To support junior doctors, Victoria trained as a workplace coach and is currently researching and delivering a ‘coaching for communication' program for emergency medicine clinicians. She also works on other research projects in the medical context; has consulted on a healthcare workforce wellbeing initiative and a cultural change program designed to address bullying, harassment and discrimination in medicine; and has published on these themes.

In this powerful episode, licensed clinical social worker and certified sex addiction therapist Mordy Gottlieb pulls no punches as he exposes how shame, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are silently eroding men's lives. From hiding true selves behind masks to living a “living death” at 10% capacity, Mordy shares why most men only seek help after crisis hits (and usually because their partner forced them). He reveals practical ways to drop the armor, feel emotions in the body instead of the head, and finally start living instead of just surviving. Key Takeaways: Shame's core belief: “If you really knew me, you wouldn't accept me” → this creates deep loneliness even inside marriages and families. Perfectionism isn't strength; it's a shield that guarantees burnout and disconnection. Most men don't come to therapy because they want change; they come in their 40s-60s after relationships, work, or addictions collapse. Vulnerability is required for real intimacy; without it, your partner can only love the mask, not you. Experiential therapy works because it gets men out of their heads and into their bodies (focus on physical sensations, not “feeling words”). Hidden disconnection shows up as 6-8 hours of mindless scrolling, numbing, and avoiding what's really going on inside. First micro-step to reconnect: find anything safe (nature, a tree, a pet, a book) and let yourself feel supported. Biggest myth to retire: “Life shouldn't be hard.” Accept that struggle is normal; chasing perfection keeps you miserable forever. Men have become “nice guys” who never say no or express needs → this breeds resentment and destroys accountability in relationships. Ultimate fear holding men back: abandonment. Speaking your truth risks rejection, but silence guarantees disconnection. Permission to play: healing isn't just serious work; it's also about becoming childlike, having fun, and not taking life so damn seriously.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we welcome Kath Essing, author of The Courage to Speak Your Truth. Kath shares her journey from silence to advocacy after surviving childhood sexual abuse. We discuss why reclaiming your voice is essential for healing, the complexities of sharing your story, and the critical gaps in current support systems and justice processes. Kath offers honest reflections on what helped her heal, the unexpected challenges she faced, and practical advice for both survivors and supporters. If you or someone you know is navigating the path from trauma to empowerment, this conversation is not to be missed. About Kath Essing:Kath Essing is a survivor, author, and advocate whose memoir The Courage to Speak Your Truth calls on women and allies to break free from the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse. Through her personal story and advocacy, Kath is working to reform outdated systems and empower others to reclaim their stories and their strength. Key Takeaways: The act of speaking out can be healing but also complex and risky without the right support. Supporters should focus on listening, believing, and holding space rather than offering quick solutions. Systemic changes are urgently needed in healthcare, education, and justice to better support survivors. Healing is a non-linear journey, often starting with private reflection before public advocacy. Writing can be a powerful first step toward processing trauma and reclaiming your voice.
