Podcasts about Childhood

Some people believe darkness follows them. Others believe they were born into it. Her childhood was shaped by violence, blackouts, and moments that never made sense at the time. People around her said her eyes didn't look right. She predicted things she shouldn't have known. And at sixteen, after a suicide attempt that should have ended her life, she describes walking through a world that wasn't quite the same as the one she left behind. What followed wasn't peace — it was a growing awareness that something unseen had been circling her for years. Was it trauma? A fractured mind trying to survive? Or something darker that noticed her long before she understood what was happening? This is a story about light, darkness, and the thin line between believing you're protected… and wondering if something has simply been watching. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueParanormal #NearDeathExperience #OutOfBodyExperience #ShadowEntities #DarkPresence #Unexplained #HauntedLife #SpiritualEncounters #ParanormalStories #TrueGhostStory  Love real ghost stories?

From Ashes to Ascent “A Story of Strength, Survival, and Unshakeable Hope”: Volume I Born to Fight and Win! by Amy Granit https://www.amazon.com/Ashes-Ascent-Strength-Survival-Unshakeable/dp/1326371096 VOLUME I “Born to Fight and Win!”A child of war. A mother's pain. A daughter's courage. Volume I of From Ashes to Ascent reveals Mara's earliest years—years shaped by the shadows of World War II and the unforgiving realities of a devastated Soviet Union. Born as bombs fell and fathers disappeared, Mara grows up in poverty-stricken barracks, surrounded by hunger, cold, and cruelty. Her mother, broken by grief and loss, becomes both caregiver and tormentor—leaving Mara to navigate a childhood marked by fear, confusion, and emotional isolation. Yet beneath her frail exterior lives a fighter. Whether standing up to her mother's violence, facing the brutal cold of Kazakhstan winters, or carving out moments of joy amid deprivation, Mara discovers her inner strength long before she understands its meaning. In this gripping and emotional first volume, Amy Granit paints a vivid portrait of a girl growing up in a world where survival is an act of defiance—and hope is a victory in itself. Themes: • Post-war trauma • Childhood resilience • Soviet history & village life • Abuse, healing, and identity • The will to rise above one's circumstances

Internalized negative self-talk trapping ND lives? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April unpacks Complex PTSD/ADHD mental health with Karen Dwyer-Tesoriero, NYC/FL psychotherapist (25+ years social work/child welfare/intergenerational trauma/CPTSD expert). Using EMDR/IFS/Polyvagal/somatic therapies, Karen undoes limiting beliefs for authenticity/goals; life coaching for non-NY/FL via TikTok, plus parent support for emotional regulation. Key insights: Negative self-talk: Childhood messages (e.g., "lazy" from ADHD struggles) internalized—higher CPTSD risk in ND (adverse experiences like unmet needs). CPTSD vs. PTSD: Relational/micro-traumas (e.g., single-parent absences/narcissistic abuse) vs. single events (war/accidents); leads to anxiety/depression/avoidance. Polyvagal theory: Bottom-up body focus (window of tolerance/fight-flight-freeze/dorsal shutdown); regulate via sensations (e.g., neutral feet vs. chest tension)—ADHD/autism concrete (EMDR eye movement/tappers). EMDR for ND: Bilateral stimulation desensitizes trauma memories; evolving for autism/ADHD (virtual/no light bar); process emotions concretely ("what happened next?"). Rewriting stories: Narrative/motivational interviewing challenges origins ("is it true? strengths? passions?"); experiment authenticity (small steps like "hi" to vendor). Attachment styles: Healthy (communication/vulnerability); avoidant (infidelity/avoid intimacy); anxious (constant doubt/people-pleasing); disorganized (both)—ND rejection sensitivity amplifies. Addictions/substances: Beyond alcohol/drugs (food/shopping/exercise/secrets); red flags (hiding behaviors); regulate dopamine healthily (breaks/routines). Advocacy/relationships: Therapy fit crucial (ask trainings/referrals); healthy dating (experiment/vulnerability); parents model regulation to minimize messages. For autistic/ADHD young adults navigating independence/trauma, Karen's vibe: "You're not broken—rewrite for worth." Free resources at kdtesoriero.lcsw.net; email coffeewithkaren@gmail.com.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Amy Griffin for a deeply personal conversation about what it means to re-parent yourself—and how that inner work quietly transforms your parenting. We talk about the pressure to be perfect, the role of control and trust in family relationships, and how healing your own story can create more safety for your kids. Amy shares how telling the truth, setting boundaries, and staying in the light reshaped the way she shows up as a mother, partner, and person—and why parenting isn't about having the answers, but about doing the work with honesty and compassion.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Send us a textIf you want to witness the transformative power of Jesus Christ this Christmas season, this one is for you.Shannon Stevens' addiction began long before drugs entered her life. Childhood sexual abuse, the violent murder of her grandmother, and years of living in fear left her nervous system locked in survival. By 12, drugs and alcohol became a way to numb terror she couldn't yet name.Over the next decades, she cycled through severe addiction, panic disorder, psych wards, jail time, and 27 failed rehab attempts. In her late 30s, meth pushed everything into crisis. While deep in addiction, Shannon experienced prolonged gang stalking and the super natural — organized intimidation, surveillance, threats, home invasions, and abduction at gunpoint — creating constant fear and hypervigilance that dominated her life.She met a skin walker, she saw shadow people.At the height of it, she called out to Jesus, and something shifted. After years of wanting to die, Shannon suddenly wanted to live. That internal change marked the beginning of her exit — leaving Arizona, confronting trauma, rebuilding identity, and restoring a sense of safety.Now nine years sober, she speaks openly about meth addiction, gang stalking, trauma-induced paranoia, and recovery that goes beyond abstinence — exploring how fear takes hold, and how it can be released through long-term healing.✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health✅ Parenting in the StormFollow Shannon on TikTok===================Shout out to Boston Twopercent for connecting Shannon with our community!Support the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Most people fail under pressure because they never trained for it. What holds up under pressure is built long before comfort disappears. Army veteran, burn survivor, speaker, and actor JR Martinez sits down with Joe De Sena to break down how discipline is built before the crisis, why weak standards collapse fast, and how ownership, autonomy, and daily reps create real resilience. They cover parenting without rescue, pausing instead of reacting, using discomfort as data, and why refusing to lower standards is non-negotiable. Listeners leave with clear rules for holding the line when pressure hits.   Things You Will Learn: Why pressure exposes weak standards and untrained discipline How refusing rescue builds strength, autonomy, and resilience How to stay in the fight when stress removes comfort Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pressure as the Test: Shows what was actually trained No-Rescue Parenting and Leadership: Builds ownership and accountability Pause Before You Break: Keeps control when pressure spikes Timestamps: 00:38 Childhood responsibility and building autonomy early 07:37 When pressure exposes weak standards 13:15 Learning to pause instead of reacting under stress 17:45 Pressure as a test not a punishment 20:49 Using hardship as data instead of excuses   If this episode moved you, don't just listen.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Alex Harper grew up in Cleveland, Ohio with a good family and a normal upbringing, but at just 16 years old he made a decision that would change his life forever. While still in high school and later in college, Alex began robbing banks, eventually landing on the radar of federal authorities and being sent to federal prison for the first time. After his release, he tried to turn his life around, but bad decisions and old patterns pulled him back in, leading to more bank robberies and a second prison sentence. In this episode, Alex shares how he went from a regular kid to a repeat federal inmate, what federal prison was really like, and how he eventually found his purpose and truly turned his life around. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #PrisonStories #FederalPrison #BankRobbery #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #RedemptionStory #LockedInWithIanBick _____________________________________________ Thank you to K9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Donate anytime at https://k9s.org/ Connect with Alex Harper: https://www.instagram.com/votealexharper/?hl=en Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Robbing Banks at 16 – How It All Started 01:35 First Arrest, Probation & Learning the System 04:22 Life After Prison: Supervision, Temptation & Pressure 06:00 Family, Childhood & Where Things Went Wrong 09:00 Early Gambling Addiction & Sports Betting Obsession 13:25 High School Double Life & First Bank Robbery 15:53 Escalation: More Robberies & How He Avoided Getting Caught 21:22 Bank Robbery Tactics, Mistakes & Hard Lessons Learned 25:54 College Life, Personality & Living Two Lives 29:44 Law School Dreams vs. Gambling Addiction 35:23 Getting Caught: The Moment Everything Fell Apart 41:31 First Time in Prison: Survival, Hustling & Reality Check 53:54 Running Gambling Operations Behind Bars 01:03:12 Released From Prison… Then Slipping Back 01:13:20 Second Sentence & Destroying Family Relationships 01:27:00 Depression, Accountability & Choosing Change 01:37:20 Life After Prison: Recidivism, Struggles & Reality 01:55:24 Finding Purpose, Giving Back & Redefining Success 02:08:00 Why the System Makes It Hard to Stay Free (Final Thoughts) Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Monday rockaholics! We were two thieves and a pyromaniac as kids, how about you?

The Founderz Lounge Episode #66 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.Don and Steve are back with another round of “Business & Bullsh*t,” where real entrepreneurs talk wins, screwups, and what actually moves the needle in business without the corporate fluff.They kick things off with camping like “homeless men” and wild childhood clubhouse stories, then pivot into why U.S. franchise chains are growing faster internationally than at home and what that really says about brand strategy. From there, they get brutally honest about restaurant standards, why most places lose customers to complacency instead of competition, and the consulting contract that almost ended Don's company and completely changed how he looks at legal protection.Along the way, they hit everything from DoorDash quietly exploding with Boomers and Gen X to Stiller's Soda, strange news, and a rapid-fire round of business lessons, bad decisions, and hard-earned perspective.Hit play for a straight shot of real talk on growth, risk, and what happens when your standards drift before your sales do.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[00:50] Founderz Roundup: International franchising[02:53] DoorDash[04:16] Pop Culture Bull Sh*t: Stiller's Soda[05:21] Social Media Update[06:41] Strange News: PepsiCo[07:43] Weekly Mash-Up[07:46] Netflix and Ring Doorbell[09:03] Founderz Hot Take[10:11] Founderz Fast Five[10:17] Childhood memories[11:06] Devil's Night[11:26] Clubhouse in the woods[12:21] Business lesson[13:28] Partnership[14:56] Strangest things seen while driving[16:35] Movie titleKey Takeaways:  • 2024, U.S based chains that expanded outside of the U.S. posted a 4.8% cumulative international growth versus 1.4% domestically. ~Don Varady [01:13]• “Your product isn't the problem.

Interview with Sonia Bestulic / Founder of Flourish with SoniaHOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVANWhat if the biggest challenges facing kids today aren't about behavior or performance - but about how disconnected we've become from ourselves?

She shares why so many parents feel stuck in guilt and self-doubt, how traditional systems often miss a child's true brilliance, and what it really means to build strong foundations for lifelong flourishing.---Get our free newsletter covering all things fatherhood delivered straight to your inbox: https://thecompanyofdads.com/thedad/

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and  Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's  The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family. They'll choose one to talk about at the end of each show with appropriate suggested reading.

Has a child ever told you that she or he sees ghosts?  A personal experience inspired us to dive into the fascinating possibility that children are simply more in-tune w/ their spiritual side than world-weary adults, and thus more adept at "seeing" and/or "communicating" with the OTHER side...We laughed, we cried, we solved the world's problems....Well, the laughing part is true.  #ghosts #paranormal #haunted #HauntedChildren #TheOtherSide #Seers

At eight years old, they woke to a man standing in the doorway—a solid, breathing figure who looked just as startled to be seen… right before he stepped into the air and vanished. Most people would call it a childhood hallucination. A dream. A trauma echo. But trauma doesn't move through rooms. It doesn't follow you from home to home. It doesn't breathe beside your bed when you're fully awake. For decades, something has lingered—watching, tightening the air, stepping just out of sight. Relationship failures, constant setbacks, strange synchronicities, and a heaviness that never lifts… all while psychics whisper the same thing: something is attached. Is it one entity that found a crack and crawled in, or a magnet pulling in every lost thing that passes by? #ghoststory #haunting #paranormalexperience #realghoststories #shadowfigure #psychicphenomena #darkpresence #spiritattachment #ghostsighting #supernaturalstories #creepytales #truehaunting Love real ghost stories?

In this week's episode I am joined by Dr. Darby Saxby, a clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Southern California as we delve into the transition to parenthood, particularly focusing on fathers and the concept of the 'dad brain.' We discuss how fathers experience physiological and psychological changes despite not giving birth, the vulnerability and opportunities for growth these changes bring, and how societal structures often fail to support new parents adequately. Dr. Saxby shares insights from her research, including how caregiving impacts brain structure in both mothers and fathers and the importance of fathers being involved at various stages of a child's development.

What started as childhood fear followed him into adulthood, shaping his understanding of the paranormal and leaving lasting psychological scars.This conversation dives into a haunted upbringing, the long shadow of fear, and what it's like to come face-to-face with something wearing the face of someone you love.

Help us keep the conversations going in 2026. Donate to Conversations with Tyler today. Alison Gopnik is both a psychologist and philosopher at Berkeley, studying how children construct theories of the world from limited data. Her central insight is that babies learn like scientists, running experiments and updating beliefs based on evidence. But Tyler wonders: are scientists actually good learners? It's a question that leads them into a wide-ranging conversation about what we've been systematically underestimating in young minds, what's wrong with simple nature-versus-nurture frameworks, and whether AI represents genuine intelligence or just a very sophisticated library. Tyler and Alison cover how children systematically experiment on the world and what study she'd run with $100 million, why babies are more conscious than adults and what consciousness even means, episodic memory and aphantasia, whether Freud got anything right about childhood and what's held up best from Piaget, how we should teach young children versus school-age kids, how AI should change K-12 education and Gopnik's case that it's a cultural technology rather than intelligence, whether the enterprise of twin studies makes sense and why she sees nature versus nurture as the wrong framework entirely, autism and ADHD as diagnostic categories, whether the success of her siblings belies her skepticism about genetic inheritance, her new project on the economics and philosophy of caregiving, and more.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For Amelia Cotter, the path into the paranormal didn't begin with ghost hunts or investigation tools—it began with curiosity. As a child, she found herself drawn again and again to an abandoned mansion just beyond her father's restaurant, a place frozen in time and heavy with unanswered questions. Room by room, Amelia explored its silent halls, never imagining that something—or someone—was aware of her presence. That changed the day she encountered a spirit who identified himself as Walter. That single moment altered the course of her life. In this episode of The Grave Talks, Amelia shares how her first undeniable encounter with the unseen opened a door she could never fully close. She reflects on the experiences that followed, the moments that challenged her understanding of reality, and how that early connection shaped her lifelong pursuit of the paranormal. Some encounters fade with time. Others become the beginning of everything.
