Podcasts about Childhood

When David was twelve years old, he took a shortcut home through the woods and witnessed something he could never explain.A car traveled down a quiet county road ahead of him. Then, without turning, slowing, or disappearing behind an obstacle, it simply vanished.For years, he convinced himself there had to be a rational explanation. Childhood memories aren't always reliable. Darkness can play tricks on perception. Strange experiences often become stranger with time.Then he discovered other people had been reporting the exact same thing on the exact same road for decades.And years later, he would find himself staring at the same curve in the road... watching the same impossible event happen all over again. #RealGhostStories #DisappearingCar #PhantomVehicle #RoadsideMystery #ParanormalExperience #UrbanLegend #UnexplainedEncounter #TrueGhostStories #WeirdRoads #SupernaturalMysteryLove real ghost stories?

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence—but a fear of being seen? In this powerful and emotional coaching session, Christine works with Victoria, who feels called to step into a more authentic and public version of herself through a new creative venture. Although she has already achieved success in her current career, she feels increasingly disconnected from the life she truly wants to be living. The problem isn't a lack of passion. The problem is the overwhelming fear that comes with being visible. As Victoria explores her desire to become a content creator and inspire women to build their dream lives, deeper layers begin to emerge. Childhood criticism, perfectionism, fear of judgment, and the pressure to "get it right" have all created an internal protector that would rather keep her safe than allow her to be fully expressed. Together, Christine and Victoria uncover how growing up in a highly critical environment taught her to hide parts of herself in order to avoid conflict, judgment, and rejection. Now, as she prepares to share her voice more publicly, those same protective patterns are resurfacing. If you've ever felt called to something bigger but found yourself procrastinating, shrinking back, or questioning your worth, this episode will help you understand why—and what it takes to move forward anyway. Press play to discover how fear of criticism may be keeping you from the freedom, fulfillment, and authenticity you truly desire.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you hold yourself back because you fear what others might think? Did you grow up in a household where criticism, correction, or high expectations were common? Do you feel called to share more of yourself but find yourself procrastinating or avoiding visibility? Are you living from authenticity—or from a strategy designed to avoid judgment?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Perfectionism is often a survival strategy developed in response to criticism. Fear of being seen can create "invisibility blocks" that limit authentic expression. Many people spend more energy avoiding criticism than pursuing what they truly want. Authenticity often requires grieving the identity you built to stay safe. Freedom comes not from being perfect—but from allowing yourself to be fully seen.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on how criticism shaped your relationship with visibility and self-expression. Notice where you are seeking safety through perfection rather than authenticity. Ask yourself: "What would I do if I wasn't afraid of being judged?" Begin practicing self-expression in small ways, even when discomfort arises.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Inner Child Course Christine references her evergreen Inner Child program, designed to help people rewire childhood conditioning, heal protective patterns, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Freya and Blake, a couple in their mid-40s with two young children who are facing one of the most urgent financial situations we've seen on the show. Together, they earn around $143K a year, but their fixed costs are at 102%, they have $0 in savings, only $180 invested, and more than $96K in debt. Freya applied because she feared they were close to becoming homeless. On the surface, their problem looks like debt. Underneath, it's avoidance, guilt, lack of partnership, and years of “we'll figure it out later.” Freya carries the emotional labour of the household and money decisions, while Blake admits he avoids the numbers and tries to solve problems by simply making more money. Ramit helps them confront the reality of their situation, stop tinkering around the edges, and build a radical plan that gives their family a chance to get stable. In this episode we uncover: • Why Freya and Blake are spending more than they make every month • How their fixed costs reached 102% of their income • Why having a $143K income still isn't enough when there's no system • The $96K debt number that forces them to face reality • Why Freya feels like she has to manage everything alone • Blake's “ostrich” approach to money and avoidance • How trips, skiing, and everyday spending became symptoms of a bigger issue • Why being intelligent doesn't protect you from bad money decisions • The emotional cost of having $0 in savings with two young children • How childhood, privilege, resentment, and guilt shaped their money habits • Why hustling stops working once fixed costs get too high • Ramit's warning that they are weeks away from not being able to pay rent • Why Blake may need to aggressively increase his income • How they move from blame and panic into a shared plan • Their follow-up reflections on what finally felt doable Chapters: (00:01:20) Meet Freya and Blake (00:03:30) Why Freya applied to speak with Ramit (00:05:23) “Do you want to have a budget conversation?” (00:05:56) The skiing trip that became a money fight (00:08:22) The Mexico trip they couldn't afford (00:13:52) Savings are gone and the safety net has disappeared (00:15:16) Freya carries the planning, groceries, kids, and money stress (00:21:54) Looking at the Conscious Spending Plan together (00:24:01) The real debt and net worth numbers land (00:31:24) Why 102% fixed costs means they are broke (00:32:04) Ramit warns they are weeks away from not paying rent (00:34:54) Childhood money lessons and blame (00:43:57) Borrowing money to avoid eviction (00:48:11) Blake's belief that more income will solve everything (00:57:14) Guilt, family, and saying yes when they should say no (01:03:00) Defining a realistic Rich Life from where they are now (01:08:30) Childcare costs disappearing (01:15:03) Freya asks Blake to help with grocery planning (01:18:00) Why savings comes before debt payoff right now (01:34:00) Why the plan finally feels doable This episode is brought to you by: Grow Therapy | Visit https://growtherapy.com/ramit to find a therapist today.

Weaponized incompetence is not manipulation and not laziness. It is the adult expression of a childhood survival strategy where deliberate failure protected the child from engulfment or punishment for being capable.This video walks through the real psychology behind weaponized incompetence and the childhood blueprint living underneath both partners. The over-functioner is running a parentification wound. The strategically incompetent partner is running an engulfment and shame-of-competence wound.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps weaponized incompetence to survival personas, parentification, and blueprint collision.Weaponized incompetence in marriage is rarely manipulation. Deliberate failure traces to a childhood where the child's competence was punished by a controlling parent or absorbed by an engulfing parent. Strategic helplessness became the only way to keep a small zone of self.The over-functioning partner is almost always running a parentification wound. The easy child, the responsible one, the little adult who managed mom's moods learned that worth equaled usefulness and that stopping would collapse the family.The over-functioner and the strategically incompetent partner form a blueprint collision. Her competence keeps him incompetent. His incompetence keeps her competent. The fight is not about chores.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses weaponized incompetence at the blueprint level. Its six steps move from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory tracing to Feelization, which builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of the survival role.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He is the author of Your Journey To Success and Your Journey To Being Yourself.TOPICS COVERED: weaponized incompetence, weaponized incompetence in marriage, strategic helplessness, mental load, emotional labor, over-functioning partner, parentification, engulfment, codependence, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny Weiss, childhood blueprint, survival persona, blueprint collision0:00 — The Pattern Nobody Names Correctly1:30 — Why Calling It Manipulation Misses Everything3:00 — The Childhood Blueprint Behind Strategic Failure5:30 — Parentification and the Over-Functioning Partner8:00 — How the Worst Day Cycle Locks Both Sides In11:30 — Why Couples Therapy Cannot Reach This13:00 — Blueprint Collision and the Ghost in the Fight15:00 — The Authentic Self Cycle Inside This One Issue17:30 — The Emotional Authenticity Method as the Rewire20:30 — Identity Close

SummaryInnovation isn't a lightning bolt, it's a process. That's the message threaded throughout the latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast, where Eva Fast, director of the University of Arkansas MSPI program, joined hosts Daniel Koonce and Caleb Talley for a deep dive into product innovation, entrepreneurial mindsets, and the realities behind those famed “aha” moments.Drawing from her upbringing in Kenya and extensive academic career, Eva breaks the myth that innovation is a singular, sudden event. Instead, she describes it as a gradual journey shaped by diverse perspectives and continuous exposure to new ideas. Her research, inspired by Steven Johnson's "Where Good Ideas Come From," reveals that creativity blossoms over time and thrives within vibrant networks.Listeners will hear how the MSPI program acts as a bridge, connecting technical, business, and human elements to equip students for both startup ventures and corporate innovation roles. Whether you're a hands-on entrepreneur or an aspiring intrapreneur, the program's structure, mentorship, and hands-on challenges offer room for all innovation styles.Eva also spotlights the rising influence of AI, sharing how tools are accelerating everything from MVP launches to capstone projects. The conversation closes with practical advice: be curious, take action, and never underestimate the value of diverse experiences. For those craving real perspectives on what it takes to move from idea to impact, this episode is a must-listen.

Dr Russell Thackeray interviews futurist and former venture capitalist Ryan Vet, who recounts his family name's changes after immigrating to the US and his career path from a childhood lemonade stand to a multinational marketing company and 20 years in venture capital, exiting in 2021 to research, write, and speak about the future. Vet outlines his “generational pendulum” framework across seven societal levers—religion, education, sex and gender, politics, economics, communication, and technology—moving through four phases: experience, challenge, overcorrect, and recalibrate, arguing cycles repeat but now accelerate as multiple levers shift at once. They discuss AI's rapid adoption, friction removal, the “velocity gap” between tech and morality, Gen Z's climate concerns versus AI's resource costs, risks to critical thinking and resilience, misinformation “AI slop,” space and drone warfare, and hopes including trades, mentorship, and regulation.

Send us Fan MailThank you so much for being here!!! This week's episode is a reminder that endings and beginnings often exist side by side.After losing the state championship lacrosse game in golden goal overtime, my son's high school sports career came to an end - as well as my role as a sports mom, and my family's identification as a sports family. With graduation this week too, we find ourselves in a strange emotional limbo, and it would be easy to think this is a story about sports.But the more I think about it, the more I realize it's so much more than the end of sports. It's about transitions and grief and identity. The end of sports, the end of high school, graduation, and the uncertain summer before college have all collided at once, leaving our entire family feeling a little lost.In this episode, I explore why these endings feel so much bigger than a game. We talk about identity, grief, and the difficult space between chapters of life. For years, our kids have known exactly who they are: athletes, teammates, captains, performers. Then suddenly the season ends, the uniform comes off, and they are left asking a much bigger question: Who am I now?We'll discuss why our teens may seem directionless before they seem excited, why they're losing far more than a sport, why grief often shows up months later, and how we can support them without rushing them into the next version of themselves. We'll also talk about the transition parents experience as our own identities, routines, and family rhythms begin to shift.If your family is navigating graduation, the end of sports, or any major life transition, this conversation is a reminder that endings and beginnings often exist side by side.Thank you for listening and being part of this community!

"But I Had a Happy Childhood": Why Your Eating Disorder Still Makes Complete SenseThis one comes up with almost every single person I work with.But Victoria, I had a happy childhood. My parents loved me. I don't have any trauma. So why do I have an eating disorder?This episode is my answer. Because trauma is not only what happened to you. Trauma is also what didn't happen to you. The absence of the big stuff does not mean your emotional needs were met. And unmet emotional needs in childhood are trauma, just not the kind that gets talked about enough.This episode is for you if:You have always said "but I had a happy childhood" and wondered why that hasn't explained or healed thingsYou feel like you have no right to struggle because nothing that bad happened to youYou have done the therapy, the journaling, the work, and still feel it in your bodyYou want to understand why your eating disorder was created in the first placeYou are ready to grieve what you didn't get, without blame, but with truthIn this episode, we cover:✨ Why trauma is not only what happened to you, it is also what didn't happen to you✨ How unmet emotional needs in childhood create the same nervous system wounds as more obvious trauma✨ What a "happy childhood" can actually look like beneath the surface, and what it communicates to a developing nervous system✨ Being sent to your room when upset, and what that taught you about big emotions✨ How early body shame can begin long before magazines or social media✨ Early sleep separation and why your nervous system may have been in low-level survival mode from the very beginning✨ Enmeshment and codependency: what it looks like to grow up not knowing where you end and your parent begins✨ Erika Commissar's research on the first three years of life and why it matters so much for eating disorder recovery✨ Why the myth of quality over quantity time does not hold up for babies and toddlers✨ Why talk therapy alone often cannot reach wounds that formed before you had words✨ Four practical things you can begin with: permission to grieve, somatic work, writing to your younger self, and understanding the eating disorder as a messenger rather than an enemy✨ Victoria answers a listener question from someone who is pregnant and exhausted by the fightPowerful quotes from the episode:

"I want to underline my own belief that art must carry man's craving for the ideal, must be an expression of his reaching out towards it; that art must give man hope and faith. And the more hopeless the world in the artist's version, the more clearly perhaps must we see the ideal that stands in opposition to it—otherwise life would become impossible! Art symbolises the meaning of our existence." ― Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time (1986) The Cold War Cinema team is joined by guest Taylor R. Genovese to discuss Andrei Tarkovsky's debut feature film, Ivan's Childhood (1962), a Soviet masterpiece about the Great Patriotic War and prime example of Thaw–era cinema. Taylor R. Genovese is an assistant professor of philosophy at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, New York. He has also been a filmmaker and photographer for over a decade. His multimodal and transdisciplinary research focuses on Marxism, historical memory, and borderlands. He is also an editor and board member at Iskra Books, a nonprofit scholarly publisher that releases original works of revolutionary theory, history, ecology, and art.  In this episode we discuss:  Andrei Tarkovsky's life and career The historical and political context of Ivan's Childhood Tarkovsky's aesthetic vision and theological concerns How the concept of "toska" shapes the sensibilities of the literary and cinematic arts in the Slavic world, including in Tarkovsky's films. The moving image representation of trauma and transcendence in Ivan's Childhood. The poetry of Andrei's father, Arseny Tarkovsky, and its influence on the filmmaker. The Soviet astethetics of Alexander Bogdanov (1873–1928), as articulated in his book Art and the Working Class, which Genovese translated from the Russian in 2022.

And wrote her book, 'Naked Out Loud' is a meditation on identity, perseverance, and the courage it takes to come to terms with, and reveal one's true self. Machan speaks from the heart, talking openly about her feeling of 'not being enough' and discussing the benefits she gained from her discoveries with psychedelics.

Welcome back to another episode of The Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation is a heavy one, but it is also one filled with hope.I'm joined by Veronica Thompson, a licensed clinical social worker, Christian therapist, and survivor of childhood trauma. Veronica's story includes childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, instability, and growing up in environments that were anything but safe. Yet through it all, God was writing a story of healing, restoration, and purpose. This conversation is one I believe every parent, ministry leader, teacher, pastor, grandparent, and survivor needs to hear.Because the reality is that trauma impacts far more people than we often realize. And sometimes the church has not always known how to respond.In this episode, we talk about:-Childhood trauma and its lasting impact-How trauma changes the way people see themselves, others, and even God-Why shame keeps so many survivors silent-The difference between surviving and healing-How Christian counseling can be a powerful part of the healing journey-Why the church should be leading these conversations, not avoiding them-Supporting children and adults who have experienced abuse-The importance of being seen, believed, and heardOne thing Veronica said that really stood out to me was this:Trauma is an encounter with evil.And because of that, healing isn't simply about "getting over it." It's about confronting the lies that trauma planted and replacing them with the truth of who God says you are.We also discuss the reality that many survivors carry messages such as:It was your fault.Nobody will believe you.Nobody cares.You should stay silent.Friend, if you've ever carried those thoughts, I want you to hear this:What happened to you was not your fault.And what happened to you is not your identity.One of my favorite parts of this conversation was discussing how healing happens when survivors are finally seen by people who know their story and still love them. Because that is exactly how Jesus meets us.Friend, if you are walking through trauma, shame, abuse, or painful experiences from your past, please know this:You do not have to carry it alone.There is hope.There is healing.And there are people who will walk beside you.Bio:Veronica Thompson, LCSW, is a trauma therapist, a committed Christian, and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. She has dedicated more than twenty years to helping children, teens, and families navigate and overcome the trauma of sexual abuse. In her writing and clinical work, Veronica explores the intersection of the Christian faith with the best clinical psychotherapy practices.Veronica earned her Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University (New York, NY) and minored in law. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, CT).Anchor Verses:Deuteronomy 30:19-20Ephesians 6: 10-18Romans 12:2Connect with Veronica:Website: http://veronicathompson.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/veronicathompsonlcsw/***We love hearing from you!

Send us Fan MailChapter 1: The Red WagonI spent years believing I wasn't smart.I thought smart people got good grades.I thought smart people were in accelerated classes.I thought smart people understood math and science.That wasn't me.Meanwhile, at twelve years old, I was pulling a little red wagon through my neighborhood collecting cans, building work ethic, resourcefulness, independence, and an entrepreneurial mindset long before I understood what any of those words meant.Welcome to Chapter 1 of Tatter-a-fact: The Story Series.For years, you've known me as a PMU artist, educator, mentor, and business owner. But very few people know the beginning.The anxious kid.The insecure kid.The kid who struggled in school.The kid who quietly believed she wasn't smart enough.This new series is my attempt to tell the whole story—the good, the painful, the funny, the embarrassing, the beautiful, and everything in between.In this first chapter, I take you back to my childhood in South Portland, Maine, the family that shaped me, the insecurities I carried, and the little red wagon that became one of the earliest signs of who I was becoming.Because maybe success doesn't begin when the world notices you.Maybe it begins much earlier.Maybe the signs are already there.And maybe you're not behind.Maybe you're becoming.In This Episode:• Growing up in South Portland, Maine• Childhood anxiety and learning to read the room• Family, community, camping, and small-town memories• The story behind "Relax, Peanut"• The little red wagon that sparked independence• Early signs of entrepreneurship• Why I believed I wasn't smart• Redefining intelligence, resilience, and success• The lessons we only understand when we look backIf this story resonates with you, I hope you'll join me for future chapters as I share the experiences, failures, successes, insecurities, and defining moments that shaped who I became—and who I'm still becoming.Maybe you're not behind. Maybe you're becoming.

My daughter turned 18 this week, and suddenly I found myself thinking about how fast childhood disappears. One minute your kids are toddlers running through the living room with The Wiggles on in the background, and the next they're adults making plans for the future.That realization hits differently when you're raising a nonverbal autistic teenager.This week, I talk about the fear that comes with watching Lucas grow older, why routines can sometimes hide the passage of time, and what it feels like to realize the future you once dreaded is already here. When Lucas was three, the idea of him being 15 and still nonspeaking felt impossible to process. Now we're living it — and the truth is, life didn't end. He's happy. I'm happy. And the worst-case scenario I built in my mind years ago never fully matched reality.I also talk about how a quintuple bypass in 2012 permanently changed the way I look at fear, gratitude, and the life we actually have instead of the one we imagined. We get into parenting, uncertainty, adulthood, and why I refuse to define my son by a checklist of deficits or milestones.Most of all, this episode is about learning to see the beauty in the child you have instead of mourning the version the world expected.It's Here!

Most relationships do not end because two people suddenly stop loving each other. More often, relationships slowly become disconnected through repeated misunderstandings, emotional triggers, unresolved resentment, and communication patterns that quietly erode trust over time.In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder welcomes back Nancy Perpall to discuss her new book, The Malnourished Marriage, and the powerful food metaphor she uses to explain what relationships truly need to survive and thrive.After more than three decades as a divorce attorney, Nancy shares why she shifted her focus from helping people end marriages to helping couples better understand how relationships break down in the first place. Drawing from both science and real-world experience, she explains how the early dopamine-driven stage of relationships often blinds people to issues that later become major points of conflict once everyday life takes over.The conversation explores the emotional “nutrients” that relationships require, including communication, trust, compromise, intimacy, laughter, and emotional safety. Nancy explains why communication functions like water in a relationship and how words can either flow or crash depending on how people approach difficult conversations.Together, they also unpack the role childhood core wounds play in adult relationships and why people often unknowingly trigger each other's deepest insecurities during moments of stress or conflict. Rather than viewing compromise as weakness, Nancy reframes it as compassion and understanding for another person's perspective.Nancy highlights how:• Early relationship chemistry often masks incompatibilities and unresolved issues• Communication can either create connection or intensify emotional damage, depending on how words are used• Childhood core wounds frequently influence adult relationship dynamics and conflict patterns• Compromise is not weakness but compassion for another person's perspective• Laughter, playfulness, and emotional intimacy are essential parts of long-term relationship healthAbout the Guest:Nancy Perpall began her professional career as a critical care nurse. Dedicated to instituting better patient outcomes she contributed to a textbook, Advanced Concepts In Clinical Nursing (J.B. Lippincott). However, to get the rural hospital she was working at to accept those protocols she was told that since she was not a doctor, who were the only ones who could change protocols, she should go to law school since "people listen to lawyers". As a nurse-attorney, Nancy has appeared on radio shows, podcasts, and TV and has published extensively.To connect with Nancy: Website: https://nancyperpall.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyperpall/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

Ask Me Anything and takeaways of the day featuring Andy, Randy, Beau, and Abe.

In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, Tammy Schamuhn sits down with Michaeleen Doucleff, author of Dopamine Kids, to explore what is really happening in children's brains when they beg for more screen time, melt down when devices are taken away, or seem unable to pull themselves away from video games, social media, YouTube, or ultra-processed foods.Many parents have been taught that dopamine is simply the brain's “pleasure chemical.” But Doucleff explains that dopamine is more accurately understood as part of the brain's motivation and seeking system — the internal drive that says: keep going, get more, don't stop yet.This shift in understanding changes everything.When children become explosive after screen time ends, their brains may not be responding to joy or satisfaction. Instead, they may be caught in a cycle of constant wanting. Screens and ultra-processed foods can act as powerful “dopamine magnets,” pulling children toward repeated stimulation while leaving them feeling more dysregulated, disconnected, and emotionally depleted.In this episode, Tammy and Michaeleen unpack:why screen time battles can feel so intense for familieshow dopamine-driven behaviors affect motivation, focus, sleep, and emotional regulationwhy children are especially vulnerable to highly stimulating technology and foodshow modern childhood has become shaped by endless craving and overstimulationwhy this is not about blaming parents or shaming childrenhow understanding the brain can help parents respond with more compassion, clarity, and confidenceThis conversation is essential listening for parents, educators, and caregivers trying to understand why screen limits feel so difficult, why transitions off devices can trigger meltdowns, and why many children today seem trapped in cycles of “more, more, more.”In Part 2, releasing June 3, Michaeleen shares practical, science-backed strategies to help families reduce screen dependence, shift unhealthy habits, and reconnect children with play, sleep, focus, creativity, and real-life joy.Michaeleen Doucleff is a science journalist and correspondent for NPR's Science Desk. She holds a PhD in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent.You can learn more about Michaeleen and her work through Michaeleen Doucleff's official website.Books mentioned in this episode:Dopamine KidsHunt, Gather, ParentAuraYour kid's digital life doesn't come with a playbook.But that doesn't mean you have to stay in the dark.That's where Aura Parents comes in.

Why High Earners Still Feel Financially Stressed Making more money does not automatically solve financial anxiety. In this episode of The Budgetdog Breakdown, I answer real listener questions covering house poverty, retirement investing, market volatility, emergency funds, financial psychology, and how couples can get aligned with money. We break down the math behind mortgage affordability, why so many people panic during market drops, how childhood experiences shape your financial behavior, and what it actually takes to feel financially secure. This episode is about building systems that create confidence instead of chaos. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why systems matter more than motivation 00:18 House poor after buying a home 04:37 Understanding the true value of a 401(k) 06:36 Prioritizing multiple financial goals 09:11 Market volatility and investor psychology 12:02 Childhood money trauma and behavior patterns 14:11 Buying a home in today's market 16:12 Financial transparency in marriage 19:37 Calculating financial freedom and retirement Key Takeaways • Financial anxiety usually comes from lacking clarity • Mortgage approval is not the same as affordability • Market volatility is normal and expected • Financial behavior is heavily tied to psychology • Systems reduce stress and improve long-term outcomes • Automation creates consistency and confidence Quotables "Wealthy people are not wealthy because they win every day. They use systems that make losing hard." "Market volatility is temporary. Panic is what makes losses permanent." "More income without a system still creates chaos." The goal is not just to make more money. The goal is to build a financial system that gives you confidence, clarity, and long-term freedom.

What if one conversation could change — or even save — a child's life? In this deeply meaningful episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with pediatric psychologist Dr. Chloe Barry of AdventHealth for Children and radio personality Sondra Rae from Johnny's House on XL106.7 for an honest conversation about childhood mental health, emotional regulation, parenting, resilience, and the growing need for emotional wellness support in today's world. Together, they unpack the powerful mission behind the Be A Mindleader movement and why creating emotionally safe spaces for children matters now more than ever. From navigating anxiety and behavioral challenges to understanding the lasting impact of COVID on emotional development, this conversation gives parents practical tools to help kids process emotions, communicate openly, and develop lifelong coping skills. Dr. Barry explains the critical difference between “will vs. skill” when it comes to emotional regulation, shares simple daily practices like “High-Low-Buffalo” check-ins, and reminds parents that therapy isn't only for crisis moments — it can also equip children with essential emotional tools for life. Sondra Rae vulnerably shares her own parenting journey, how therapy has helped her twins build confidence and coping skills, and why normalizing mental health conversations at a young age is so important. If you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone passionate about emotional wellness, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and reminded that you are never alone in the journey. In this episode, they discuss Why emotional wellness conversations should start early The mission behind the Be A Mindleader movement Childhood anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation How COVID impacted children's emotional development Why today's kids are “built different” Practical tools for helping kids process emotions The “will vs. skill” framework for emotional regulation How therapy supports both children and parents Parenting through overwhelm and emotional burnout Why family connection and communication matter more than ever The importance of reducing stigma around mental health Creating emotionally safe spaces for children Supporting kids through stress, frustration, and big emotions How parents can model healthy emotional behaviors The role of mental health navigators and community resources

Zayd Ayers Dohrn's mother, Bernardine Dohrn, was a leader of SDS, a student group protesting the Vietnam War. She also led a faction that broke away and became the Weather Underground, advocating armed resistance against the government. His father, Bill Ayers, was also an activist-turned-revolutionary. In a new memoir, Zayd wrestles with questions he had growing up, like if his parents were living underground and on the run from the FBI, why did they have kids? He spoke with Terry Gross.  Also, two-time National Book Award winning writer Jesmyn Ward (‘Salvage the Bones,' ‘Sing, Unburied, Sing') has a new essay collection on grief, motherhood, and survival. It's called ‘On Witness and Respair.' She spoke with Tonya Mosley. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!What happens when the home you grew up in never truly lets you go?For Joe Vitale, childhood was shaped by unexplained voices, violent energy, and terrifying moments of mimicry that seemed far too intelligent to ignore. The house that should have felt safe instead became the center of a haunting that followed him for years, leaving emotional scars and unanswered questions behind.But instead of running from the paranormal, Joe found himself drawn toward it.Those early encounters eventually led him into the world of paranormal investigation, placing him face-to-face with some of the most active haunted locations in America—including the infamous The Conjuring House.There, Joe experienced a chilling encounter with a young spirit girl who appeared to recognize him… as though she had been waiting for his arrival.We explore how one haunted childhood opened the door to a lifetime of ghostly encounters, darker entities, and a confrontation with the unexplained that still follows Joe to this day.#TheGraveTalks #ConjuringHouse #Paranormal #GhostStories #HauntedHouse #Spirits #Supernatural #ParanormalPodcast #ShadowPeopleLove real ghost stories?
