Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight,” but Heather McKean invites a deeper look. What if vision loss also reflects unprocessed grief, generational trauma, and emotional pressure?Through the Mind Change lens—and the moving story of “Marion”—Heather explores how releasing trapped emotion, softening rigid beliefs, and practicing forgiveness can expand both inner and outer vision.

In one of the most emotional and powerful episodes of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jason Comer, a husband, father of five, and living testimony of how God's grace can turn devastation into destiny.   Jason's life is a raw reflection of brokenness, rebellion, incarceration, relapse, forgiveness, and divine restoration. This episode traces his complete journey—from a troubled childhood and early substance use, to meth addiction, prison, family separation, and the miraculous road back to sobriety, faith, and fatherhood.   Through tears, laughter, and hard truths, Jason opens up about what it means to be a man redeemed. He shares how Hope City Church, mentorship, and a community of believers gave him the spiritual and emotional tools he never had growing up. His story reveals the brutal reality of addiction—but more importantly, the beauty of God's redemption story when we finally stop running.   This is more than a story about getting sober. It's a story about becoming whole, about how God can take the pieces of a shattered life and build something new—something strong enough to lead a family, raise kids with love, and inspire others to believe that no matter how dark the pit, there is always a way out.   If you're a parent fighting your own battles, a man seeking purpose, or someone walking through the ashes of addiction or shame—this episode will meet you right where you are.   ⸻

In this episode, I'm joined by journalist and author Susan Dominus for a deep dive into the science of temperament, sibling relationships, and what high-achieving families can teach us about raising children. We talk about how two kids raised in the same home can turn out completely different, the limits of parenting, and why temperament may be more hardwired than we think. We also explore how purpose, family culture, and sibling dynamics can shape long-term outcomes—and why letting go of control might be the most powerful parenting tool we have.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Many of you will already know that I am a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia. Today, I want to introduce my fellow Narnia lovers to a new book that jumped right off the shelf as soon as I saw it. Giant is a middle-grade novel by debut author Judith McQuoid where we meet Davy, a fictional working class boy from East Belfast, Ireland who is sent to work in the wealthy Lewis household in 1908. There, he forges a friendship with Jacks–as C.S. Lewis was known to his friends and family–over books, stories, and building worlds of imagination and adventure.Giant is a must-read for Narnia fans that adds a whole new depth of experience to C.S. Lewis's world and will help you read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in a fresh way. And today, I'm chatting with the author about what inspired her to write the book, how much of the story is fictionalized, and how the process of writing the book shaped her identity. And you're going to love her Irish accent! In this episode, you'll hear: The way her dad's love of Narnia and Lewis's Belfast heritage inspired Judith to write this story How Judith started with a “skeleton” draft and added layers of detail and depth with revisionsThe faith that carried Judith through the ups and downs of creating GiantLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/judith-mcquoid Order Flora and the Jazzers by Astrid Sheckels!

Personal experiences, such as external noises or criticism, can disrupt our mental clarity and focus, prompting discussions about the necessity of developing consistent techniques to regain calmness. Drawing from my journey, I emphasize that regular practices, much like writing or meditation, can significantly enhance emotional stability. It took years for me to establish a twice-daily routine, particularly during times of distress, fostering an inner sense of calm that gradually became second nature.We delve deeper into the philosophical elements of emotional healing and connectability, particularly in the context of trauma and its profound impact on our ability to form relationships. I share my own struggles with connection, especially in social settings where I often felt out of place. This journey of self-discovery has led me to coin the term "connectability," which captures the essence of learning to connect authentically with oneself and others. I discuss the barriers that may hinder our ability to relate to others, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or who fall within the neurodivergent spectrum.Through our conversation, I stress that establishing healthy boundaries is crucial for fostering strong relationships. Many of us carry past scars that make us susceptible to emotional dysfunction in our interactions. I share that it's vital to recognize overt and covert forms of avoidance, whether by keeping distance from emotionally available individuals or using distractions like phone screens to escape social pressure. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward meaningful connection.#trauma, #anxiety, #cptsd, #healing, #mentalhealth, #selfhelp, #dysregulation, #triggers, #connectability, #boundaries, #avoidance, #nervoussystem, #crappychildhoodfairy, #podcast, #recovery, #emotions, #personalgrowth, #mindbody, #traumainformed, #innerpeace, #calm, #vagusnerve, #selfcare, #journaling, #codependency, #relationaltrauma, #childhoodtrauma, #emotionalintelligence, #connect, #overwhelmed, #liferevolution, #complexPTSD, #neurodiversity, #ACP, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Everything Is the Best, I sit down with Crappy Childhood Fairy—aka Anna Runkle—to talk about practical recovery for adults who grew up with chaos, neglect, or inconsistency. We get specific about how trauma shows up in daily life (overreacting, shutdowns, people-pleasing, money and relationship spirals) and how to interrupt those patterns with simple, repeatable tools.Anna—an Oakland resident and Berkeley native—has shown people how to heal symptoms of childhood trauma for nearly thirty years. Known to more than a million followers across platforms (including ~929K YouTube subscribers and 78M+ views), she's a survivor herself, and her methods are changing lives every day.We also dive into her forthcoming book, CONNECTABILITY: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel (At Last) Like You Belong (Hay House; October 7, 2025). Anna explains why a haunting sense of disconnection is an almost universal adult symptom of childhood trauma (and increasingly common even for those with “normal” childhoods), and how to rebuild connection with clear, doable practices.You'll learn:A plain-language framework for nervous system dysregulation—and how to come back onlineThe two-part daily practice (brief writing + short meditation) to reduce reactivity in under 20 minutesHow to spot “trauma time,” respond to triggers (yes, even unanswered texts), and choose self-compassion over withdrawalScripts and boundaries to rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and “read the room” without shameWhy consistency—not perfection—creates the conditions for real connectionAbout the book:In Connectability, Anna offers research-backed lessons, self-reflection prompts, and daily connection plans to help you: notice early signs of dysregulation, lean into healthy vulnerability, set confident boundaries, master the art of apologizing, and build the kind of close, reliable relationships that support lifelong well-being. It's a hopeful, practical path for anyone who struggles with people—whether you have a trauma history or simply carry old connection wounds in a lonely era.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Childhood schizophrenia is one of the rarest — and most controversial — diagnoses in psychiatry. In this episode, host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) and co-host Gabe Howard, joined by board certified psychiatrist Dr. Nicole Washington, explore the complexities of diagnosing schizophrenia in children and teens.

Ever feel awkward when it's time to sell?

In the summer of 1987, three children discovered that the line between childhood games and the paranormal can disappear in an instant. Out on their grandfather's land near a rumored Native burial ground in rural Montana, the days smelled of cut hay and pine resin — but at dusk, the yard belonged to something else. It began with a toy truck that hurled itself off a shelf, striking the wall with unnatural force. Soon came the faceless black boy crouched beneath the oak tree, holding their toy in silence before vanishing into thin air. But the strangest apparition arrived at midnight: a 17-year-old girl in a faded blue dress, hair in braids, umbrella and purse in hand, standing stiff in the upstairs hallway — staring past them as though trapped in another time. The house's doorbell rang on its own, voices whispered in the backyard when no one was there, and a massive black hand once gripped the doorframe as if trying to pull itself inside. This chilling true ghost story isn't about creaky floors — it's about the way childhood wonder collides with the unseen. Decades later, the memories still linger like a breath on the back of the neck… and the question remains: were these ghosts of the land, or something far older? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #Haunted #FacelessBoy #ShadowFigures #ParanormalActivity #ChildhoodHaunting #GirlInBlueDress #GhostStoriesPodcast #HauntedHouseTales #SupernaturalEncounters #CreepyChildhoodStories Love real ghost stories?

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to three prior guests of the podcast who are talking to us in the boldest experiment in Rarified Heir Podcast history! How so? We are talking to them all at once. Something we had never done before. But don't fret, Carnie Wilson, Jenny Brill and Shawn Kay have been friends for quite a long time and, in fact, they know each other and host Josh Mills from as far back as elementary school. There are laughs and some tears on this one. Since the time of this recording, sadly we have lost two of the celebrity parents of our guests, as both Mitzi McCall, mother of Jenny Brill and Brian Wilson, father of Carnie Wilson have both passed away as of this encore episode. While it puts things in perspective rather quickly, it also helps us to realize that the entire point of this podcast is to make sure that in this fast paced world, we don't forget the names and stories about some of the most beloved entertainers of the 20th century. And with that in mind, this episode is a rollicking one, a bit experimental as we said but also fast paced, filled with childhood memories and what it was like not only growing up the child of a celebrity but also with friends whose parents were also celebrities. We get into some ridiculous tales about the Oakwood school where they all met, insane stories about album jackets as modes of transportation and a nostalgic trip down a very 1970s memory lane. Which begs the question, just how did the children of Mitzi McCall, Charlie Brill, John Kay, Brian Wilson and Marilyn Wilson get along? In a word? Famously. Take a listen.  

"If we lived in the poorest, most dangerous neighborhoods, we'd understand better how to love and serve." — Dr. Kurt Ver Beek It was great to sit down with Dr. Kurt Ver Beek, co-founder of the Association for a More Just Society (ASJ), who has lived and worked in Honduras for nearly four decades. From battling systemic corruption to reducing the homicide rate in one of the world's most dangerous communities, Kurt shares a riveting account of faith in action and public justice rooted in Christian conviction. We explore the difference between traditional missionary work and systemic transformation, how theological frameworks can drive bold action, and why brave Christianity is needed now more than ever.

That's because talking only trims the branches—it doesn't touch the roots. In this week's episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez sits down with Anna Runkle, creator of the viral movement The Crappy Childhood Fairy, to explore why traditional talk therapy often fails to heal trauma — and what actually does. Anna shares how, after years of therapy that left her feeling worse, she discovered one simple, daily nervous system practice that changed everything. Within two weeks, her PTSD symptoms were gone — and her life was never the same. What We Cover • Hidden signs of trauma most people miss including disorientation, clumsiness, and feeling “off” for no reason • Why talking about trauma can backfire, and how to create space for real emotional processing • Emotional flashbacks explained and how preverbal trauma silently shapes adult choices in love, work, and life • Nervous system regulation techniques that bring rapid relief and help you reconnect to yourself • Anna's expressive writing method that helped her clear PTSD in two weeks • How trauma-driven decisions shape entire lives — from partners to careers — and how to break the cycle • The surprising power of simple movement for emotional regulation • A practical boundary phrase that shuts down conflict without drama • Talking ≠ healing. Over-talking about trauma can keep the nervous system dysregulated. • Regulation first, insight second. Healing begins when the body feels safe. • Old patterns drive new problems. Many adult struggles are rooted in unconscious trauma responses. • Healing can start fast. You don't need years of suffering to feel relief — the right tools can shift things quickly. • Connection is the goal. Regulating your nervous system opens the door to deeper relationships and real belonging. About the Guest Anna Runkle, known online as The Crappy Childhood Fairy, is a bestselling author, trauma educator, and creator of one of the internet's fastest-growing trauma-healing communities. Her approach to recovery focuses on nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and practical, self-guided tools for real-world transformation.

Childhood chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, asthma, anxiety, and depression are rising sharply, with nearly one in five U.S. children obese and one in seven teens experiencing mental disorders On February 13, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14212 establishing the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, chaired by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to address children's health The Commission identified four main drivers of childhood chronic disease — poor diet, toxic chemical exposures, lack of physical activity combined with chronic stress, and overmedicalization through unnecessary prescriptions The Commission's strategy rests on four pillars — advancing research, realigning incentives and systems, increasing public awareness, and fostering private sector collaboration, creating a comprehensive plan to reverse the health crisis Key reforms include stricter food safety rules, updated infant nutrition standards, greater transparency in healthcare, expanded mental health support, and partnerships that put real food and prevention at the center of children's lives

We're delving into the essential topic of emotional dysregulation—a common challenge for many, especially those who have experienced trauma or anxiety. I emphasize that it's normal to encounter dysregulation, but for individuals with a traumatic background, it can be more frequent and intense, often making it feel insurmountable. We discuss practical signs of dysregulation that listeners might recognize in themselves, such as feeling disconnected from their environment, losing track of time, or experiencing an inability to make sound judgment.As we navigate through these concepts, Anna shares her experiences and insights on identifying dysregulation. She articulates how feelings of frustration manifest in everyday situations, like tripping over things or struggling with routine tasks, emphasizing that these occurrences can stem from deeper emotional turmoil. Through her personal anecdotes, I highlight the crucial distinction between healthy emotional responses and those that lead to self-sabotage, cautioning listeners to avoid making life-altering decisions when in a dysregulated state.We also explore collective healing practices, such as movement and group activities, that can serve as forms of re-regulation. Anna discusses how these practices, whether through something as structured as military drills or as playful as community dancing, can help restore a sense of calm and connection among individuals. She emphasizes that nature also plays a vital role, and simple habits like taking walks or gardening can significantly aid in grounding oneself and rebuilding that much-needed attunement to our surroundings.#Dysregulation #TraumaHealing #AnxietyRelief #CPTSD #CrappyChildhoodFairy #AnnaRunkle #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #NervousSystemRegulation #ExpressiveWriting #HealingJourney #EmotionalDysregulation #MentalHealth #TraumaSymptoms #Dissociation #BrainFog #EmotionalOutbursts #FeelingNumb #ParalyzedByFear #SelfSabotage #TraumaTriggers #FeelingOverwhelmed #Detachment #MindfulnessPractice #SelfAwareness #StressRelief #PersonalGrowth #WritingTherapy #JournalingPrompts #DailyPractice #Pennebaker #TraumaRelease #CopingSkills #MindBodyConnection #MovementTherapy #SomaticHealing #NatureTherapy #GroundingTechniques #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
