This episode begins with the idea that all the troubles in the world at this time bring a great weight and pressure down upon, not just humanity as a whole, but also each individual soul. Since our souls are secretly tuned to the world, the widening divisions outside us tend to activate inner splits within us, specifically in the form of early life feelings of being abandoned, rejected and overwhelmed.     Fears of abandonment and overwhelm return each time we face great obstacles or the need to truly change, not because we are inherently bad or simply ill-fated. Rather, a genuine crisis will activate our early life experiences of rejection and loss in order that we find ways to heal our inner wounds and at the same time reveal our deepest gifts. Part of what seeks to become reclaimed as part of our natural inheritance used to be known as the child of joy, the source of natural buoyancy as well as inner resiliency.     Our innate connection to joy can be a meaningful antidote to the weight of the world and the increasing anxieties that entrap us. However, finding again this kind of soul connection requires that we work through the exact wounds that keep us from feeling fully alive to begin with. The problem turns out to be not simply that there was an original betrayal that leaves us wounded, but also that we keep betraying ourselves in the same way. Eventually, the issue is not simply who did what to us and why, but rather how we manage to stop abandoning ourselves each time we feel fearful, on the edge of overwhelm or stuck in life again.     Genuine change and renewal, on both individual and collective levels, require that we touch the original splits again and heal the wounds that separate us from the inner source of existence and the innate sense of joy that naturally attends the gift of life. For it is this soul connection and inner resilience that seeks to be found, that waits to be felt again and that wishes to be nourished, despite and because of the troubles that now plague the world.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

The tragic death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship has now escalated into a deeply complex FBI investigation, and newly uncovered court documents are shedding dramatic new light on the case. What began as a heartbreaking loss during a family vacation has quickly turned into a potential homicide inquiry involving a juvenile suspect, a custody battle, and allegations from Anna's own relatives that she was murdered—not the victim of an accident or overdose. This breaking true crime story unfolds against the backdrop of a cruise ship returning to Miami, where FBI agents immediately boarded to secure the scene, interview passengers, and preserve evidence. According to the timeline, Anna was found unresponsive by a maid and pronounced dead just minutes later by the medical examiner. But the most shocking development comes from a recently filed court document in which Anna's stepmother, Chantel Hudson, requested a delay in her custody hearing. Her reasoning: one of her minor children may face criminal charges connected to the ongoing federal investigation. This statement, coming directly from sworn records, supports what Anna's grandmother and uncle have been saying since the beginning—that Anna did not die by accident. Their claims suggest she suffered a violent death aboard the ship, one involving disturbing details that point toward foul play. The FBI's involvement, and the mention of a minor as a potential suspect, has triggered a slower process while federal authorities determine whether the juvenile should be charged as an adult or if the case will be handed to Miami-Dade prosecutors. As investigators work through witness statements, cruise ship logs, and forensic evidence, the case continues to gain national attention. Anna Kepner was a high-achieving Florida teen preparing for graduation and a future in the military. Her sudden death on what was meant to be a celebratory holiday trip has sent shockwaves through her community and ignited urgent questions about cruise ship safety, FBI procedures, and the fate of the juvenile at the center of this unfolding investigation. #truecrime #breakingnews #AnnaKepner #FBIinvestigation #CarnivalHorizon #justiceforAnna #crimescene #newsupdate #murderinvestigation #juvenilecrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Parenting a child who's melting down while you're barely holding it together yourself can feel impossible.One minute you're calm, and the next—you're yelling too. You didn't mean to, but their meltdown triggered yours. You're not alone, and it doesn't mean you're a bad parent. It means both of your nervous systems are overwhelmed.Let me share why this happens and exactly how to stop the cycle of dysregulation before it spirals out of control. You'll learn how your calm can anchor your child, what to do in the heat of the moment, and how small shifts can lead to lasting change in your family.Why Do I Lose My Cool When My Child Has a Meltdown?When your child screams, your nervous system feels it. That's because of mirror neurons—the part of the brain that syncs emotions and energy between people. Your child's chaos can trigger yours, just like your stress can trigger theirs.Here's what's happening:Your stress cup overflows just like your child's. Every demand, noise, or unexpected change adds a drop until you spill over.Your survival brain takes over. Logic goes offline, patience disappears, and you react instead of respond.You move into fight, flight, or freeze, which makes emotional regulation nearly impossible.

When children have big emotions, they aren't being "dramatic"; they're revealing something happening inside that they can't yet name, regulate, or express in mature ways.  Shepherding a child through that requires both emotional attunement and calm leadership. Join me today to learn a research-based framework that aligns with a faith-anchored, relational approach. If you've ever had a child who feels everything deeply: joy, sadness, frustration, excitement. You know those moments can stretch you as a parent. You might wonder, 'Why can't they just calm down?' But what if those big emotions aren't something to fix, they're something to shepherd?

When Don Mancini brought his iconic killer doll to television, horror fans braced themselves for a new chapter in the Child's Play legacy. Premiering on SyFy in 2021, Chucky transformed the long-running film franchise into a serialized story that ran for three seasons through 2024. With Brad Dourif once again supplying the chilling voice of Chucky and his daughter Fiona Dourif joining the cast, the series blended nostalgia with fresh blood—literally and figuratively. In this episode of Rewind, we revisit Season One, exploring how Mancini adapted his cinematic universe for TV, weaving in themes of identity, trauma, and transformation while keeping the dark humor and slasher thrills intact. We'll look at how the show expanded the mythology, introduced new teen protagonists, and balanced legacy characters with fresh faces.

As parents, we want to rescue our kids from anxiety and OCD—but the truth is, some things are not within our control. And when we spend our energy trying to fix what isn't ours to fix, we burn out, lose connection with our child, and unintentionally strengthen OCD. In this episode, I break down the critical difference between what is your role and what isn't, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start creating meaningful progress for your child.You'll Learn What You Can't Do (No Matter How Hard You Try):You can't force your child to stop compulsions that don't involve youYou can't create motivation or force insightYou can't speed up their progress or prevent new OCD themes from emergingYou can't make them share every intrusive thoughtTrying to control these things only leads to power struggles and frustration—for you and your child.Then We Shift to What You Can Do (and Where True Power Lies):Educate yourself and recognize new OCD patterns earlyUnderstand co-occurring struggles that impact progressIdentify how you may be unintentionally feeding OCDLearn how to systematically pull back from accommodationsSet healthy boundaries so OCD doesn't run your homeIncentivize your child to do the work instead of doing it for themDetermine where your child is in their journey—trust, skills, or treatment—and start thereYou do have influence. You do have a role. And when you lean into the things you can control, that's when your child's growth begins.

Today we're unpacking a topic that so many families struggle to understand—Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD—especially when it shows up in children. My guest is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a clinical psychologist and author of the newly updated and revised edition of her seminal book Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In our conversation, Tamar and I talk about how our understanding of OCD has evolved over the past 25 years, what intrusive thoughts really are, and how parents can recognize and respond to them with compassion and clarity. Tamar walks us through her five-step approach for helping kids manage OCD effectively, and she offers a message of hope—reminding us that with the right support, children can learn to take charge of their thoughts and lead full, joyful lives. About Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D. Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D., founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, has helped thousands of children overcome fears and gripping mental compulsions. She is also the author of Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking, Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Freeing Yourself from Anxiety. Things you'll learn from this episode How OCD can deeply impact family life and why awareness and understanding make such a difference Why recognizing the difference between typical anxiety and OCD is key to getting the right support How intrusive thoughts are more common than many realize—and can be effectively managed with treatment Why parents play a central role in helping children navigate OCD using structured, behavior-focused approaches How the five-step model empowers families to support change without reinforcing compulsions Why education, support, and understanding can ease parental fears and lead to better outcomes for kids Resources mentioned Dr. Tamar Chansky's website Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Powerful, Practical Program for Parents of Children and Adolescents (Updated in 2025) by Dr. Tamar  Chansky Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: Powerful, Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility, and Happiness by Dr. Tamar Chansky Freeing Yourself from Anxiety: Practical Strategies to Overcome Fears, Worries, and Phobias and Be Prepared for Life–from Toddlers to Teens by Dr. Tamar Chansky Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety in Plymouth Meeting, PA Dr. Tamar Chansky on How to Free Children from Negative Thinking (Full-Tilt Parenting podcast) Tamar on Instagram Natasha Daniels on Helping Kids Crush OCD (Full-Tilt Parenting podcast) Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids: 50 Fun Activities to Overcome OCD With CBT and Exposures by Natasha Daniels Filmmaker Chris Baier Helps Families Get Unstuck from OCD (Tilt Parenting Podcast) UNSTUCK: An OCD Kids Movie (Available with Spanish, French, Russian, Greek, Portuguese subtitles and an audio description) Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The research statistics show that parents are slowly being removed from a position of importance in the child's life. The assault on the family structure is real and profound. Rubacek states the reason for this is “Because when you divide a child from their parents — emotionally, ideologically, or physically — you make them vulnerable...

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

You want to be honest with your child… but when emotions run high, it can be hard to know where the line is between healthy emotional expression and unintentionally putting a burden on your young child, teen, or young-adult kid.If you've ever felt terrified, overwhelmed, or lost in the fear of “what if,” and weren't sure whether to show your child how scared you really are…If you've ever wondered why expressing your emotions towards your child sometimes leads to more distance instead of more connection…Or if you've ever felt the urge to show your child just how upset, hurt, or worried you are, especially when their behavior frightens you, but aren't sure whether that helps or harms…You are not alone, and this episode will bring clarity to something many parents quietly wrestle with.Today, I'm joined by therapist Dana VanRenterghem to talk honestly about how to express emotions to your child in a healthy, appropriate way. We explore why kids should never be responsible for managing a parent's emotional world, how even well-intentioned honesty can become emotional dumping, and how easy it is to cross the line without realizing it.We get into the nuance: your emotions are real and valid… but they're still your emotions. So how do you pause, regulate, and come back to your child from a grounded place instead of fear? We also talk about the caregiver–seeker roles in attachment, how role reversals happen, why they're so confusing, and how to repair if you've shared too much in the past.In this episode on how to express emotions to your child, we discuss:Why sharing “big feelings” with your child can accidentally create shameThe difference between emotional honesty and emotional burdenWhat to say when you're scared, angry, or overwhelmedHow to pause and regulate before returning to your childThe caregiver vs. seeker roles (and what happens when they get reversed)How to repair with your child when you've said too much or reacted too fastWhy your child is not responsible for your feelingsWhat emotional expression looks like in healthy parent–child communicationWhere parents should take their big feelings (hint: not to your child)Looking for support?

Managing ADHD during the holidays takes more than willpower—it takes understanding your brain and planning around it with compassion. When I started researching ADHD to help one of my kids, I didn't expect to discover that I had it too. But learning how my brain works has changed everything about how I approach motherhood, especially during the busiest season of the year.   In this episode, I'm joined by Amy Marie Hann, author of Master the Mundane, to talk about how ADHD shows up in motherhood and how we can create calmer, more intentional rhythms through the chaos of the holidays. Amy's wisdom helped me see my brain with more grace and gave me tools to protect my energy instead of pushing past my limits. Even if you don't have ADHD, this conversation will help you navigate the mental load of motherhood with more clarity, calm, and self-kindness. In this episode you'll learn:
