Attachment theory is everywhere right now — anxious, avoidant, fearful, secure — but after infidelity, simply understanding your attachment style doesn't stop the emotional whiplash. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle is joined by Bryan Power, a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory Coach, for an honest, grounded conversation about how attachment wounds actually show up after betrayal — and what it really takes to heal them. Together, they break down the four attachment styles, explore why betrayal hits attachment at its core, and walk through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — practical tools that move you from survival and confusion into clarity, safety, and secure connection. This episode goes beyond theory. You'll learn why insight alone doesn't regulate the nervous system, how subconscious wounds drive behavior, and what helps betrayed partners stop feeling “crazy” when triggers hit — without excusing betrayal or bypassing accountability. If you've ever thought, “I know what's happening — so why does it still hurt this much?” — this episode is for you. Top 3 Takeaways Knowing your attachment style doesn't equal healing You can name your pattern perfectly and still panic when your partner withdraws. Healing happens through felt safety, not logic alone. Betrayal exposes unhealed attachment wounds — in both partners Infidelity doesn't come from nowhere. It often reveals deep subconscious beliefs around safety, abandonment, worth, and betrayal that were never healed. Secure attachment is built — not born Through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — core wounds, needs, emotions, boundaries, communication, and behavior — couples can move toward safety, clarity, and conscious connection. Favorite Quote “Attachment wounds don't heal through understanding. They heal through safety — again and again — in real time.” About Bryan In 2024 Bryan Power and his wife would go from having a pretty good relationship to a complete relationship failure. That failure culminated with a restraining order his wife would put against him for her emotional safety. During that breakup time, Bryan would discover the Integrated Attachment Theory Program that would ultimately provide him with the insights and tools necessary to put their relationship back together. Now Bryan uses his inspirational story, personal insights and the integrated attachment theory program to teach others how to use their breakup the get the breakthroughs they have been looking for.

It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise.

In this episode, I sit down with Laurie Hammer, a functional nutrition therapist, to explore the powerful connection between brain health and gut function. Laurie shares her personal journey into functional nutrition and explains why amino acids play a foundational role in both emotional resilience and physical well-being. Our conversation dives into the relationship between neurotransmitters and amino acids, with a focus on serotonin, GABA, and catecholamines. Laurie explains how imbalances in these systems can contribute to anxiety, depression, and even neurodegenerative conditions. Through clinical experience and real-world examples, she outlines how targeted amino acid therapy can create meaningful changes when applied thoughtfully and individually. We also expand the discussion beyond supplementation to the lifestyle factors that support optimal brain health. From adequate protein intake and environmental toxin reduction to grounding practices and cleaner personal care products, this episode offers a holistic framework for supporting the nervous system. It is an insightful conversation for anyone interested in practical, nutrition-driven strategies to improve brain health and long-term vitality. Key takeaways: Amino acids are crucial for neurotransmitter balance, impacting mental health and overall well-being. Laurie Hammer emphasizes the therapeutic potential of tryptophan, glutamine, and the role of other essential amino acids in addressing brain and gut health. Lifestyle changes, including nutrient-rich diets, sunlight exposure, and grounding, are essential for maintaining optimal neurological health. Targeted, therapeutic supplementation of amino acids can significantly improve symptoms of anxiety and depression by nourishing the nervous system. Laurie Hammer's approach encourages tackling brain health through foundational elements like proteins, fats, and minerals, rather than solely focusing on genetic predispositions. More About Laurie Hammer: Laurie Hammer is a Functional Nutritional Therapist, speaker, and host of the Take Back My Brain Podcast. She specializes in targeted amino acid therapy and brain-first nutrition to help women—and the practitioners who serve them—overcome anxiety, overwhelm, brain fog, and burnout without relying on medications. Laurie is the creator of the Mind Thrive Amino Acid Therapy Certification and is known for her bold message: You can't medicate away a nutrient deficiency. Website Instagram Facebook Connect with me!

In Day 6 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Balance—releasing anxiety by layering the week's most effective practices into one calming sequence you can use anytime. This episode combines a longer-exhale breathing technique (Anchor Breath), a grounding focus, Prithvi Mudra for emotional protection, and a solar plexus (3rd chakra) nurturing practice to restore steadiness and self-trust. You'll learn how anxiety can pull you into extremes and how a predictable "return to center" routine helps your nervous system settle faster. If you've been feeling overstimulated, reactive, or scattered, this layered meditation will help you come back to calm, clear balance—one breath at a time. Featured practice: Layered balance stack (Release + Rest + Ground + Protect + Nurture) Best time to practice: transitions, before conversations, before sleep, after overstimulation Intention: restore inner steadiness and reduce anxiety spirals This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week," episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3: Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.) Day 4: Prithi Mudra for clarity Day 5: Third Chakra for compassion Day 6: Anxiety Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Welcome back to The Feng Shui Flow PodcastThis week, I'm sharing why I've had to reassess everything and what a big, eye opening day taught me about busyness, success and creating space for more magic.From releasing the need to always be doing, to questioning old ideas around work, productivity and recognition, this episode is a gentle but honest reflection on what it really means to live and work in alignment.I'm sharing insights from a recent astrology reading with Luke Balcke, how it helped me understand the unsettled energy many of us are feeling right now, and why slowing down instead of pushing is key in the months ahead.Inside this episode, I'm talking about: • Why constant busyness can block clarity and opportunity • How looser intentions often create the biggest shifts • Navigating uncertainty without absorbing other people's judgment • Redefining success beyond shiny goals and external validation • The power of slow, consistent progress over rushing for results • Creating calm in your life so more magic has space to landThis episode is an invitation to pause, reflect and reassess what success, calm and alignment look like for you now.February 2026 FREE WORKSHOPYou can find Luke here: Instagram: @lukebalckeBook a Session with Luke: www.lukebalcke.com/book-onlineYou can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx
When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss the importance of creating inner space and stillness through meditation practices. But what does it actually mean to create more space in our lives? And why is this important, and how do we go about it? The conversation emphasises that the practice of meditation is not just about achieving enlightenment, but about becoming more present, compassionate, and engaged with the world. It touches upon the difficulties of finding space in modern life, the benefits of different meditation techniques, and misconceptions around enlightenment. The hosts also share personal experiences, including insights about how meditation has deepened their practice and allowed them to navigate challenges with greater flexibility and understanding. The episode ends with a meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu.

Because, particularly when we are very emotional – whether that be grief, agony, pain, anger, frustration – it is probably better to be in a state of motion.” “The Buddha has said, What are we mindful of? We are mindful of our suffering. Why do we practice? To liberate ourselves and all beings from suffering. That is the greatest vow of a monk or a nun: to find liberation in oneself and liberation in all.” “There are so many creations of senses – what we see, what we hear, what we smell, what we taste – to help us cope with our suffering. And when we are suffering, whether that suffering is very petite, a daily concern, or is a generational trauma, we don’t have language for how to be with that suffering. Therefore, we look for a way out – and the world loves giving us a prescription of, ‘If you do this, you will feel that.'” “Sometimes silence is a chance for us to be in touch with deep suffering or deep experiences that our noise has covered up. As a meditator, space gives us the barrier and boundaries to listen and to hold. If we don’t create that space, we will be on autopilot for the rest of our life. Our mind is on autopilot; it has a way of thinking, a way of doing, a way of perceiving, of creating perceptions, creating judgment. So when we meditate and have the opportunity to listen to and then to guide the mind, it gives the mind a chance to not also be carried away by its own habits – which is thinking.” “Thinking is not a bad thing. Like our teacher has always transmitted to us, thinking is a part of creating a view in life, a project, a mission, an intention. But most of our thinking is not productive. It is actually more daydreaming, it is more procrastination. It is more like a zombie, in a way, or a sleepwalker. It has no destination; it’s just on autopilot.” “Many people feel they have to sit on a cushion, they have to have a shrine, they have to light incense, they have to light a candle – which of course can be very beautiful and give a good atmosphere for meditation. But you can also do it on a busy bus or train, or as you’re sitting on a park bench. It’s not about taking things out of your life; it’s about allowing life to be.” “Sometimes we sit just to enjoy sitting and doing nothing, because maybe that's the one gift that we want to give to ourselves – because we’re always doing, we’re always in fifth gear. Sometimes we need a radical act: to sit and do nothing, to give and create and redefine space for ourselves.” “How can we keep mindfulness alive if we are not cultivating it? Sitting meditation is one of the concrete cultivation practices.” “There is right mindfulness and wrong mindfulness. We could be a wonderful burglar with full concentration – but we would be creating suffering. So right mindfulness relieves suffering; it is about understanding suffering and heading towards the path of understanding and love.” “One time our teacher told us that sometimes insight doesn’t come during sitting meditation, but when it’s ripe. Maybe when we’re most relaxed: when we’re not thinking about it, but are living the moment very deeply. And Thay told us that, a lot of the time, it would come while he was gardening or doing walking meditation. But sitting meditation is the cultivation; it is like a gardener tending the seeds of insights to help us have a moment of, ‘Ah, I get it.'” “The practice is maybe just continuing to unlearn things, in order to learn again.” “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” “Sitting is already action. When we sit in this way and have new insight, that will become the thread of so many actions coming forward. So don’t underestimate the power of sitting still; yes, we have apps and guided meditations, but also build the capacity of generating your own guide. And that breath is there, that body is there. Then the community is there – and that’s the beauty of a tradition.” “Whenever we speak about enlightenment, enlightenment of what? What do we want to be enlightened from or towards? Then, later on – like in my own growth – I see that enlightenment is a verb; it is a continuous enlighten-ing. You cannot be enlightened today, December the 9th, and expect that enlightenment to stay the same in 2028. Because things are changing; we are changing. The world is changing.”

What if owning less could help you parent with more calm, confidence, and connection?In this episode of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast, Flora McCormick sits down with Joshua Becker of Simplify Magazine to explore how minimalism supports dependable calm, and deeper relationships with ourselves and our kids.We talk about how clutter quietly fuels stress, power struggles, and yelling — and how simplifying your home can become one of the most effective positive parenting strategies for more calm in your home life. Joshua shares practical ways to set visible boundaries kids can understand, why parents go first, and how fewer toys often lead to better listening, deeper play, and more cooperation.This conversation also challenges the idea that “more” creates a better childhood.

In this deeply human episode, my client Founder and CEO Denise Gosnell shares how she went from zero revenue and feeling the constant pressure to prove herself, to building a multiple 6-figure business, and finally feeling calm in her own skin, all in just 90 days!You'll hear what it looks like when a high-achieving executive stops leading from fear and starts creating from deep conviction in herself. For Denise, that meant forgiving and releasing the patterns from society and family that kept her chasing more success, and learning to trust herself again.This is not another “success story.” It's a blueprint for the new paradigm of leadership: where your results expand as you come into deeper alignment with who you truly are.Because when you stop second-guessing every move, pushing through exhaustion, and trying to prove your worth, you start leading from trust instead of anxiety.

Send us a textClick Here for Free Masterclass What if your sudden desire to stay home isn't avoidance, but a sign your nervous system is recalibrating?After major growth, many people experience something confusing: you understand what happened, you've left high-control environments, toxic roles, or conditional relationships, and yet you feel unmoored. Socializing feels draining. Home feels safer. And you start wondering if you're losing motivation… or losing yourself.In this episode, we unpack the psychology and biology of loving staying at home, and why this phase often appears right after you outgrow your old life - but before your next expansion.You'll learn why:The mind can “get it” while the body is still searching for safetyLeaving power-and-control spaces disrupts belonging at a nervous-system levelMotivation doesn't disappear - it reorganizesRelief comes before expansion (and why confusing the two keeps people stuck)Using research on belonging, nervous system regulation, attachment, and social safety, we explore why your body craves predictable rhythms, low noise, and environments where connection doesn't require performance or self-betrayal.This conversation also maps a third path - beyond going back to the old tribe or isolating forever. We talk about low-stakes belonging: places where you can be quiet, leave early, opt out, or show up partially - so your nervous system can collect real evidence that being yourself is safe.You'll hear a grounded reframe of success - shifting away from visibility and approval toward physiological safety, alignment, and sustainable confidence.If you've been judging your need for quiet… If home has become a refuge you're unsure how to grow beyond… This episode offers language, relief, and permission.Home isn't a hiding place. It's often the training ground.
Real talk.If staying disciplined has ever meant running yourself into the ground, shaming yourself into productivity, or pushing past your own limits just to stay “consistent”… that was never discipline. That was survival mode trying to sound supportive.We're redefining discipline for women who want consistency without burnout. We're talking calm execution over forced hustle, nervous-system-safe discipline, and what it actually looks like to keep promises to yourself without betraying who you are.This conversation is for the woman who's done proving, done pushing, and ready to move in alignment with the season she's in. You don't need more pressure — you need a steadier way to show up.WHAT WE GET INTO✨ Burnout has patterns. You already know what it looks like when it's brewing — the work is noticing it sooner.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Caneiro brothers were supposed to be best friends. They were each other's best man. They talked every day. They built a business together. But prosecutors say one brother was bleeding the other dry — stealing from his life insurance trust, doctoring bank statements, living a $700,000 lifestyle funded by fraud. When Keith Caneiro finally demanded answers about missing money, prosecutors allege Paul responded by driving to his brother's Colts Neck mansion in the predawn darkness and executing the entire family.Keith was shot five times on the front lawn. Jennifer was shot and stabbed inside. The children — eleven-year-old Jesse and eight-year-old Sophia — were stabbed repeatedly. A detective testified that Sophia had a stab wound to her left eye. Prosecutors say both kids were still alive when the fire started. They died from smoke inhalation while bleeding out in their own home.Then, according to the state, Paul went home and set his own house on fire — with his wife and daughters inside — to make it look like both families were being targeted. When first responders arrived, the family was outside. Officers testified they were sitting in one of the family's cars, a Porsche. Calm. Composed. Giving statements.The evidence trail prosecutors have laid out is staggering: the murder weapon in his basement, DNA evidence on clothing, altered bank records, security footage showing him disabling cameras at 1:28 AM. This is a case about masks — the kind a man wears when he's pretending to be successful, and the kind that slips when the lie finally catches up.#PaulCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #FamilyAnnihilator #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #KeithCaneiro #NewJerseyMurder #SiblingRivalry #MonmouthCountyTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on the roof. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

Send us a textEver notice how chaos can feel weirdly like home? I open up about seventeen years of sobriety and the unexpected truth beneath it: I wasn't just addicted to substances—I was addicted to safety. That craving started in childhood, where asking a simple question risked love and silence bought me proximity. Those early lessons built a blueprint for codependency that followed me into adulthood, where intensity masqueraded as intimacy and breadcrumbs passed for connection.I break down how old survival strategies show up in modern friendships—overgiving, oversharing, ignoring red flags—and why our nervous systems cling to what's familiar even when it hurts. Then we dig into two anchors that changed everything: focus on repair over rupture when both people meet you halfway, and honor the boundary that says what cannot be repaired must be mourned. Grief becomes an act of protection, not defeat, and a path back to a self we abandoned to stay safe.Across this conversation, I share how staying awake in hard seasons turns pain into a growth spurt, how re-parenting teaches the body a new baseline of calm, and why choosing yourself is the most reliable source of safety you'll ever find. If you've ever chased validation, confused intensity for love, or kept negotiating with your worth, this one will feel like a mirror and a map.

We're headed on the road in 2026! Buy tickets here:https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb"I need to know who wrote these field notes, cause they're the best ever!" Christi means that with all her heart, because this is probably one of the more entertaining episodes we've gotten to watch in a hot minute, and that's thanks in part to the salties note taker we've gotten yet! There's sarcasm and grievances galore!With Maddie out acting in Austin and Ally for the week, the girls prep for a chance for a turn int he spotlight... well actually Abby decides that wouldn't be good so no girl will be getting a solo this week. Instead Abby brings out Sarah R. and Brynn to serve as swings for the ALDC, though more importantly she brings their mothers in to torment Kira for the drama. Along with Jess' continued aggressive campaign to get JoJo and official spot on the team, the OG moms are becoming increasingly fed up with the state of LA. This is their last week in town before venturing off for competitions, and they can't help but feel all Abby has done is continue to elevate Maddie for bigger opportunities.To make some moves of their own the moms and girls agree to audition for a MattyBRaps music video (does anyone else remember MattyB?). The moms hash it out with Jess as they feel JoJo wasn't really invited to audition per their understanding of the casting call, but JoJo puts in the time and effort anyways. Though it's pretty obvious the producers just want Mackenzie for that name brand recognition, Abby unfortunately doesn't want Mackenzie to participate unless MattyB's dad give MackZ some song credit.Will Abby manage to sabotage the rest of the ALDC's first genuine LA job opportunity?Quotes“I'm always very appreciative that my job is I get to sit and chat with you and then I get to meet new and exciting people. Because we could be digging a ditch... and I don't wanna dig a ditch. I'm getting elderly! I'm not digging nothing." (07:10-07:29 | Christi & Kelly)“Oh my god you made me look at that? That's disgusting! I know, you're right... you're welcome!" (52:48-52:53 | Christi & Kelly)“Look at Jess' pants now! Wow, she likes ugly pants! Look at that outfit, it's terrible!" (1:04:45-1:04:52 | Christi & Kelly)“Calm down MattyB's Dad. Calm down."
