In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Julie M. Green, a writer, Autistic mother, and late-identified Autistic woman whose self-recognition unfolded through parenting. Julie's story begins not with her own diagnosis, but with her son's. As she learned how to support an Autistic child, she slowly began to recognise familiar patterns in herself — sensory sensitivity, rigidity, perfectionism, chronic illness, and lifelong shyness that had always been framed as personality flaws rather than neurodivergence.Together, Angela and Julie explore maternal guilt, masking across decades, self- and formal diagnosis, and what changes — and what doesn't — when you finally have language for your nervous system.

Most of us are running on "default settings" installed during childhood, operating under 10,000 deep-seated beliefs that dictate everything from our finances to our morning routines. Kris Krohn reveals how to "unplug" from these limiting paradigms by creating conscious awareness and directing your Reticular Activating System (RAS) toward growth. Learn the exact process for rewriting your subconscious code and using emotional anchors to make your new, empowering beliefs stick for good.
In this episode, host Travis Chappell and his producer Eric kick off 2026 with a tongue‑in‑cheek look at “getting rich” in Grand Theft Auto V versus actually building wealth in real life. Using a viral GTA video that breaks down the “five best businesses to buy” in the game, they unpack why it's so tempting to grind for fake money while feeling stuck financially—and where that logic breaks down if you're unhappy with your real bank account. Along the way, they swap stories about ultra‑strict childhood rules on movies and games, why sleepovers now feel like a hard no as parents, and how leisure fits into a healthy, ambitious life. On this episode we talk about: A GTA V creator teaching “five businesses that will make you rich online” and how his million‑view content is actually an example of turning play into a real income stream. The difference between enjoying games as a hobby versus pouring five hours a day into them while complaining there's “no opportunity” in real life. Childhood stories about not being allowed to watch certain movies or play certain games, calling parents from sleepovers, and the weird logic of which ratings were “okay” and which weren't. How becoming parents has flipped their perspective: less concern about temporary tattoos and game ratings, more concern about letting kids sleep at other people's houses at all. The rise of creators who build channels around nostalgic games, movie tie‑in titles, or walkthroughs—and how that can turn low‑effort fun into a monetized side project. Why modern games and social platforms are engineered to keep you in an endless loop, and how that “vortex” quietly delays people from ever taking real swings at their goals. The nuanced take: you don't have to be “grinding 24/7,” but you also can't expect big financial changes if every spare hour goes to escapism. A brief tangent into IP consolidation (Saudi money, Activision, Bond, DC, Lord of the Rings) and how massive ownership shifts change what shows, games, and stories get made. Top 3 Takeaways Hobbies are fine—until they clash with your goals. Playing GTA or Call of Duty isn't a moral issue; the problem is when you're miserable with your finances yet still spend all your free time in virtual worlds instead of building real skills and income. You either monetize the passion or own the trade‑off. The GTA creator in the clip turned his obsession into a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers; if you don't want to do that, that's fine—but then you have to accept slower financial progress without blaming “lack of opportunity.” Most “successful people” aren't gaming all day. High performers might still play, but usually after they've already put in serious work; expecting similar results while investing most of your energy into entertainment is a mismatch in inputs and outcomes. Notable Quotes “If you're spending five hours a day playing video games and also complaining there's no opportunity, you can't be mad at the results you're getting.” “That guy grinding GTA businesses is actually making real money—because he turned his gameplay into content, not just a way to escape his own life.” “Do whatever you want in your downtime, but don't be shocked when the people who spend that same downtime learning and building get very different outcomes.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️
In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, hosts Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Bobby Ahlander for an expansive and deeply human conversation about suffering, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Bobby shares his journey growing up in a rigid religious environment marked by instability and fear, living much of his adult life on “autopilot,” and eventually reaching a breaking point that included leaving the Church, divorce, job loss, and a prolonged season of depression with suicidal ideation.Through therapy, psychiatry, EMDR, Buddhist study, and eventually plant medicine, Bobby describes the slow and nonlinear rebuilding of his inner world. He introduces a personal “numbers” framework that helped him track emotional states — from survival, to “fine,” to happiness, joy, bliss, and ultimately a state he later names cosmic union. At the heart of this conversation is the embodied realization that arrived not through force or fixing, but through surrender: peace feels good.Timestamps [01:10] Introducing Bobby Ahlander and the theme “peace feels good”[04:05] Childhood in a conservative religious home marked by instability[08:45] Learning invisibility, safety, and survival as a child[14:55] Living adulthood on “autopilot” and inherited identity scripts[20:15] Becoming a bishop and the weight of enforcing institutional rules[25:35] LGBTQ+ policy conflict and values colliding with authority[31:50] Leaving the Church, divorce, and relocation all at once[36:40] Wiping the slate clean and questioning every belief[41:05] First acts of autonomy and reclaiming personal choice[46:00] Discovering Buddhism and non-dual thinking[51:40] First psilocybin experience and expanded awareness[58:45] COVID, job loss, unhealthy relationship, and emotional collapse[01:05:40] Suicidal ideation and surviving for his children[01:12:30] Therapy, medication, and the “numbers” emotional scale[01:20:10] Ayahuasca: opening a door that never closes[01:27:30] Integration, healing, and learning to live at “fine”[01:33:40] Oregon coast turning point and happiness returning[01:38:10] Discovering joy, bliss, and something beyond the scale[01:41:00] Embodied peace, “peace feels good,” and what comes next[01:41:58] Closing message and listener invitationNotable Quotes“You have just opened a door that can never close again.” — Scott Webb (quoted by Bobby Ahlander) [00:36:08]“I don't want to die, but I don't want to be alive.” — Bobby Ahlander [00:31:58]“The whole choice to awake puts you on a path.” — Scott Wright [01:13:33]“So we honor you for being there and being able to express that.” — LaRae Wright [01:29:42]“The cost of the new is the old.” — Scott Wright [01:32:36]“Turbulence is just a reminder you're flying.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:34:42]“You will continue to suffer until you've learned the lesson that the suffering is trying to teach you.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:38:18]“This is peace.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:23:57]“Peace feels good.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:25:01]Relevant LinksBobby's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobbyahlander/Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts

Seán Killingsworth explains why individual willpower can't solve a problem that's environmental: when every hangout, hallway, and lunch table becomes a screen habitat, connection gets crowded out and kids grow up feeling constantly “on stage.” But this isn't a despair episode. It's a blueprint for moving forward. Seán's Reconnect Movement is building phone-free spaces (with a simple “phone valet” system) where real friendship becomes possible again. The movement is showing up on college campuses, in high schools, and in local communities. If you've been craving a realistic way to give kids what they're actually starving for this conversation will show you how to start and encourage you to keep at it.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the digital world our children grow up in, creating opportunities for learning and connection—but also ushering in complex new challenges for safety, attention, identity, and mental health. In this timely episode, we sit down with Dr. Scott Kollins, Chief Medical Officer at Aura and a nationally recognized expert in ADHD, digital health, and youth mental wellness.Together, we explore how AI-driven platforms represent a significant evolution from earlier forms of digital media. Dr. Kollins explains how algorithmic personalization, generative content, and immersive engagement tools influence children's attention patterns, behavior, and even neurological development. He highlights emerging concerns surrounding AI-generated characters and influencers designed to mimic friendship and connection—raising important considerations for social development, empathy, and identity formation in childhood.The conversation also delves into the growing difficulty children face in distinguishing real from artificial experiences online, and how this blurring of reality can shape emotional regulation, perception, and worldview. Dr. Kollins discusses the mental health implications of AI systems that feel responsive or “alive” to young users, and what it means to parent in an era where digital platforms may seem to be constantly listening.This episode offers an essential, research-grounded understanding of the digital landscape parents are navigating today, and provides guidance for supporting children's well-being as technology continues to evolve at unprecedented speed.For more information: Join the Study: Click herehttps://www.aura.com/ https://meetcircle.com/The Parent Coach: We're launching The Parent Coach—your new go-to place for instant parenting support.

What if the question isn't what someone deserves but what it would take for them to live a good life? In this episode, Justin Yentes sits down with Liz, a pioneering mitigation specialist and author of the upcoming book The Deserving. Through decades of work on capital cases, Liz has helped courts see the full humanity of people facing society's harshest punishments. Together, they unpack how trauma, poverty, intergenerational harm, and systemic failure shape lives long before the justice system ever becomes involved and why punishment alone cannot create safety or justice. Liz also shares the cases that changed her, the patterns she's seen across hundreds of lives, and why mitigation isn't about excuses, it's about context, truth, and moral clarity. Key Topics Covered: Why jurors often never hear the full story before deciding life or death The myth of equal opportunity and the danger of retributive justice How adverse childhood experiences shape behavior, health, and outcomes Intergenerational trauma and the unseen legacy of abuse, poverty, and violence Mental health crises and why jails have become America's largest providers This episode will challenge deeply held beliefs about punishment, responsibility, and who we consider worthy of care. If this conversation unsettles you, that's the point. This episode asks us to rethink who we protect, who we abandon, and what kind of society we're choosing to build.

Welcome back to the Tea Time Podcast. After a long hiatus, Sharissa Bradley returns to share where she's been, why the podcast is coming back now, and what's next. This episode introduces a new series centered around revisiting Journey Back to Health — not as a finished story, but as a living process. Sharissa opens up about experiencing months of severe nausea, weight loss, muscle decline, and brain fog, and how these symptoms led her to confront long-standing patterns of disordered eating rooted in childhood poverty and food insecurity. Through journaling and reflection, she realized her body had been trained to survive on adrenaline instead of hunger cues. This series will follow Sharissa as she works through each chapter of her book in real time — not as medical advice, but as shared experience. Each week, she'll revisit one chapter and apply it to her current healing journey, inviting listeners to do the same alongside her. You can participate completely for free by listening to the book-reading episodes from earlier seasons and downloading the workbook.

This Day in Maine for Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
If you were raised in a dysfunctional, toxic home, and you struggle today with codependency, self-worth, and relationships, it is easy to lose a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Childhood trauma arrests the mind in a state of hypervigilance, worry, and fear. And although that is not your fault, if this is your experience, until we stop, look within, and take the time to integrate the past with the now, our future becomes a copy of the past, like it or not. There is great hope for the one willing to go within. Lisa A. Romano gently unpacks why so many of us feel stuck chasing something outside ourselves—while the real answer lives in the now. Through neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, she shows how trauma wires the brain to equate authenticity with danger, creating the illusion of separation from your highest self— and how to integrate, regulate, and come home to who you truly are. You'll learn: • Why the brain's prediction machine keeps you looping old stories • How the ego clings to identities (both "I'm great" and "I'm broken") to feel safe • Using mindfulness & metacognition to quiet the default mode network • Practical ways to down-regulate the nervous system and end the inner war • The first veil to break: "I am separate from my true self" • How integration (not perfection) creates purpose, peace, and presence Chapters 00:00 Welcome – If meaning feels out of reach 02:12 Trauma, neurology & the illusion of self 06:45 The first veil: separation from the higher self 10:18 Why your brain resists authenticity (safety vs. unfamiliar) 14:30 Ego identities on both ends of the spectrum 18:40 Mindfulness, observer mode & metacognition 22:55 Integration over fragmentation: ending the inner war 27:40 Rewiring shame & reclaiming self-worth 32:10 Unity, love-consciousness & true purpose in the now 36:50 Your next steps + resources Take the next step Ready for a map to rewire your mind and reconnect to your true self? Join Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program to heal at the subconscious level, regulate your nervous system, and integrate your higher self into daily life.

Leo Leonardo is a Rhode Island native who got caught up in the system at a young age, facing repeated arrests that pushed him out of school and into the workforce—before turning to selling drugs when legitimate options fell apart. His path led to a federal drug case, time in both state and federal prison, and some of the harshest consequences behind the walls, including segregation (SEG) and maximum-security prison after continued trouble inside. After his release, Leo struggled to stay straight and was hit with additional gun charges, showing how hard it is to break cycles once the system has its grip. In this raw true-crime interview, Leo breaks down how the feds built their case, what life is really like in max prison and SEG, and the long-term consequences of early choices—an unfiltered look at crime, punishment, and life after prison. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #DrugRing #TrueCrimePodcast #FederalPrison #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #ExCon #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Joseph De Gregorio was raised in a good family and built a successful career on Wall Street, but the 2008 market crash derailed everything. After losing his footing, he started his own business, which eventually turned into a fraud scheme—a decision he ultimately took responsibility for by coming clean and turning himself in to authorities. At the same time, Joseph was battling a severe alcohol addiction, drinking himself to the point of needing a liver transplant. He was later sentenced to federal prison, where he faced harsh conditions and medical challenges while serving time in a federal medical center prison. After his release, Joseph reinvented his life, dedicating himself to helping others navigate the justice system through prison consulting and sentence mitigation work, turning his darkest chapter into a mission to help people avoid the same mistakes. _____________________________________________ #IAlmostDied #PrisonSurvival #AddictionRecovery #TrueCrimeStories #LifeAfterPrison #RedemptionStory #PrisonLife #survivorstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to FRONTLINE HEALING FOUNDATION for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://frontlinehealingfoundation.org/ to donate or share their mission. _____________________________________________ Connect with Joseph De Gregorio: Website: https://www.jnadvisor.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jnadvisor-joseph/ 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 From Wall Street Success to Federal Prison 02:40 Who He Was Before Everything Fell Apart 11:10 Childhood, Ambition & the Drive to Win 19:16 Inside Wall Street: Money, Power & Pressure 30:08 The 2008 Financial Crash That Changed Everything 39:47 Addiction, Burnout & Losing Control 47:32 Liver Failure, Transplant & Near-Death Hospital Battle 01:03:53 Getting Sober: AA, Accountability & Truth 01:11:20 Turning Himself In to Federal Authorities 01:22:13 Federal Prison While Medically Compromised 01:35:48 Release, Home Confinement & Supervised Release Reality 01:40:58 Life After Prison: Education, Purpose & Reinvention 01:52:00 Beating the System: Mitigation Strategy Explained 02:01:53 Legal Tech, Consulting & The Future of Defense 02:09:40 Final Lessons, Advice & How to Contact Him Learn more about your ad choices.

Stefan Molyneux digs into procrastination, tracing it back to childhood and the way it creates a master-slave setup in how people see their own freedom. He points out that resentment builds up from tasks forced on someone early on, leading to a habit of pushing back against anything that feels like an order. Molyneux stresses seeing choices for what they are and viewing those tasks as chances instead of duties. When he talks about owning up to one's own wants, it helps people take back control, changing how they handle what needs doing and easing the drag of putting things off.Remastered from https://fdrpodcasts.com/966/procrastinationSUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

A new report out from UNICEF has revealed some devastating figures on the prevalence of sexual violence against children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nationwide data indicates that more than 35,000 cases of sexual violence against children were recorded from January to September of 2025. It is understood that the true number is likely to be higher than these figures, with the crime being underreported due to fear and stigma. Kylie Pentelow is joined by UNICEF's Chief of Child Protection, Ramatou Touré, to discuss the report. Maintaining friendships in adulthood can feel like a full-time job, especially when calendars clash, energy runs low, and “let's catch up soon” becomes a recurring loop. We revisit The Woman's Hour Guide to Life episode on friendships to explore why staying connected is so challenging in a busy life. Nuala McGovern speaks to journalist Claire Cohen, psychotherapist Dr Julia Samuel, and the psychologist Dr Marisa G Franco, who share expert insights, relatable stories, and advice you'll genuinely want to put into practice.Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, or RED-S as it's known, was once framed as a concern only for elite athletes. But as running culture intensifies alongside weight-loss jabs and healthy eating trends, RED-S has become more widespread. It's often hard to spot, but the long-term consequences can be devastating, impacting immune function, growth and fertility. Sports dietitian Renee McGregor and Jodie Pearlman, who experienced the condition first hand, tell Kylie more about the condition.It's peak time for university applications at the moment, with the deadline looming in mid January. UCAS' data for 2025, shows that 31% of 18 year olds in the UK are planning to live at home this year, which is a record high compared to 22% a decade ago. So if almost a third are staying at home, what is student life like today and how does it compare to the student experience of the past? Discussing this with Kylie are Sakithya Nathan, a first year student at Birkbeck University in London, Daisy Depledge-Kittle, a third year student at Leeds Trinity University, and Dr Aimee Quickfall, Head of the School of Education and Childhood at Leeds Trinity University. Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Andrea Kidd
In today's powerful episode, we sit down with Rebecca Hushman, a certified carnivore coach who went from 69 pounds on her deathbed to thriving in ways doctors never believed possible. Misdiagnosed, gaslit, and battling chronic illness—including C‑diff, Lyme, autoimmune conditions, and severe digestive issues—Rebecca's story is one of radical resilience and nutritional transformation.After years of failed treatments, endless antibiotics, and worsening symptoms, Rebecca discovered the healing potential of a strict ketogenic diet and eventually the carnivore diet. Removing oxalates, eliminating plant foods, and focusing on nutrient‑dense animal foods helped her reverse symptoms, gain weight for the first time in years, and rebuild her health from the ground up.In this conversation, Rebecca shares:Her journey from chronic illness to full recoveryWhy traditional medicine failed to identify the root causesHow keto and carnivore changed everythingThe role of histamine, oxalates, and gut healthWhat she learned about pregnancy on a carnivore dietThe mindset, structure, and daily habits that support long‑term healing#CarnivoreDiet #KetoDiet #CarnivoreHealing #ChronicIllnessRecovery #GutHealth #AutoimmuneHealing #CDiffRecovery #HealthTransformation #KetoToCarnivore #RebeccaHushman #DrKiltzPodcast #MetabolicHealth #Oxalates #HistamineIntolerance #FunctionalMedicine #HealingJourney #CarnivoreCommunity #AncestralHealth #NutrientDenseEating #CarnivoreSuccess00:00 Introduction 01:12 Rebecca's story begins 03:05 Early diagnoses & medications 05:10 Chronic pain and failed treatments 06:40 Functional medicine discoveries 08:55 Hitting 69 lbs — the lowest point 11:20 Turning to the carnivore diet 13:45 Managing histamine issues 15:10 What made her so sick? 17:30 Childhood diet & hidden sugars 19:00 Do plants feed harmful microbes? 20:40 Functional vs. conventional medicine 22:15 Discovering keto and carnivore
Carla doesn't call herself “sensitive”—not anymore. But when she was little, living on a hill in Bermuda, she had the same dream over and over: stepping outside at night, trying to climb down an embankment… and feeling the earth open up, like it wanted to swallow her. Years later, the fear didn't disappear—it evolved. A suicide-tainted house in Palm Springs. A cup sliding across a counter on its own. A constant sense of being watched through open blinds. Then came the canyon near the San Luis Rey River—an area that felt so wrong she couldn't breathe right when she was there. No birds. No animals. Just laughter… growling… and once, a hillside filled with ravens like a warning. At her lowest, sleep paralysis turned into something darker—a shadow rising from her feet as she fought for air. She's sober now. The paralysis stopped. But the signs didn't. A trace of her grandmother's perfume. A dream where darkness tried to pull her away… until her cat stepped in front of it and hissed. #RealGhostStories #TrueHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #SleepParalysis #ShadowFigure #HauntedPlaces #NegativeEnergy #RavensOmen #TrueScaryStories #GhostSigns #SpiritualWarfare #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

Anxiety Isn't the Problem — It's the Habit Loop Behind It I recently had a conversation with psychiatrist and neuroscientist Jud Brewer that stopped me in my tracks — not because it was abstract or inspirational, but because it finally explained something I've lived with for decades. Even in long-term sobriety. Even with years of self-work, therapy, meetings, journaling, and personal development. That thing is anxiety — and more specifically, how anxiety quietly turns into habits like worrying, overthinking, scrolling, information hoarding, procrastinating, and self-judgment. What Dr. Brewer helped me see is this: Anxiety isn't a personal flaw. It's a learned habit loop. And once I saw that clearly, everything changed. Worry Is a Behavior — Not a Personality Trait One of the most powerful reframes from our conversation was this: Worry isn't just a feeling — it's something we do. Anxiety shows up as a sensation in the body. Worry is the mental behavior we use to try to control that sensation. And here's the trap: Worry feels productive. It feels like we're doing something. That tiny sense of relief is enough to reward the brain — which means the loop gets reinforced. Anxiety → Worry → Temporary relief → Repeat Over time, this becomes automatic. So automatic we don't even realize we're doing it. That's the definition of a habit. Why "Why Am I Like This?" Keeps Us Stuck As someone in recovery, I'm very familiar with the idea of "getting to the root cause." Childhood trauma, identity, shame, conditioning — all of that matters. But here's what surprised me: Dr. Brewer says the "why" is often the least important part when it comes to changing anxiety. Not because the past doesn't matter — but because focusing on why often keeps us stuck in our heads instead of helping us change what we're doing right now. When anxiety hits, the more helpful question isn't: "Why am I like this?" It's: "What am I getting from this behavior?" That question shifts us from self-blame to curiosity — and curiosity is where real change begins. The Default Mode Network (AKA: The Overthinking Machine) We also talked about the brain's default mode network — the system that activates when we're not focused on a task. This network lights up when we: Worry about the future Replay the past Judge ourselves Compare ourselves to others Crave, resist, or ruminate In other words: it's the "me, me, me" network. When fear (an urge to act now) gets crossed with planning (thinking about the future), we get anxiety. Anxiety doesn't help us act. It freezes us. That's why so many high-achievers know exactly what to do — and still don't do it. The Three Gears of Change (This Is the Part That Actually Helps) Dr. Brewer's work focuses on a simple but profound process he calls the three gears: ⚙️ Gear 1: Awareness Notice the behavior. Worrying. Scrolling. Self-judging. Avoiding. No fixing. No shaming. Just noticing. If it's automatic, it's a habit — and habits can be changed. ⚙️ Gear 2: Ask "What Am I Getting From This?" This is the most overlooked step. Not: "What should I be doing?" "What's wrong with me?" "Why can't I just stop?" But: What is this giving me right now? Safety? Distraction? Avoidance of shame? Temporary relief? When we see clearly that the reward is small — and the cost is high — the habit starts to lose its power. ⚙️ Gear 3: Find the Bigger, Better Offer This is where things shift. Instead of numbing, distracting, or fighting anxiety, we learn to meet it differently — and that feels better than the habit itself. That's where the RAIN practice comes in. RAIN: A Way to Be With Anxiety Without Escaping It RAIN stands for: R – Recognize what's happening A – Allow it to be there I – Investigate with curiosity (What does this feel like in my body?) N – Note what's happening moment to moment Here's the surprising part: When we stop trying to get rid of anxiety and simply observe it, it often passes on its own. Cravings peak and fall. Sensations rise and fade. Even when they feel like they'll last forever — they don't. Action Steps (Try This This Week) If anxiety, overthinking, or procrastination are showing up in your life, try this: Catch the Habit Notice when anxiety turns into worrying, scrolling, or self-judgment. Ask One Question What am I getting from this right now? Practice RAIN Don't fix. Don't flee. Just observe. Change the Language Instead of "I am anxious," try: "I'm noticing anxiety in my body." Let the Wave Pass You don't have to do anything for it to end. Resources Mentioned Unwinding Anxiety by Jud Brewer Trigger–Habit–Outcome Mapping (free worksheet referenced by Dr. Brewer) RAIN mindfulness practice Going Beyond Anxiety program (Dr. Brewer's advanced work) Final Thought You're not broken. You're not failing. You're not missing some secret piece of information. Your brain learned a habit — and habits can be unlearned. With awareness, curiosity, and kindness, anxiety doesn't have to run your life. It can become a signal — not a sentence.
In the final episode of 2025, Brad sits down with Brian, who share's a raw and honest sobriety story that spans decades. Brian opens up about growing up in Spokane, Washington surrounded by alcoholism, violence, and instability — and how hockey became his escape. As a teenager, alcohol quickly became more than “weekend fun,” turning into blackout drinking, fights, arrests, and a dangerous spiral that ended in a moment that forced everything to change. Brian shares what finally made him ask for help, why leaving his environment was a key part of getting sober, and what it took to rebuild identity, friendships, and confidence without alcohol. Brian's last drink was December 28th, 1991 — and today he reflects on 34 years sober, life in Germany, and the mindset that helped him protect his recovery for the long haul. In this episode, we cover: •Childhood trauma, absent father, and growing up around addiction •Hockey as an outlet for anger, pain, and survival •Early drinking, escalation, blackouts, and legal consequences •The turning point that forced Brian to choose recovery •Treatment, relocating, and why “new environment” mattered •Rebuilding identity without alcohol (social life, confidence, dating) •Long-term sobriety tools: honesty, boundaries, and an exit plan •What 34 years sober has taught Brian about freedom and control Join the Sober Motivation Community: Click here for 30 Days free Brian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrbrianpiper/
We wrap up 2025 and kick off 2026 by catching up on everything from post-holiday chaos to the optimism that comes with starting a new year. Along the way, we touch on Justin Bieber's recent reflections on faith, how people in 1998 predicted 2025, and surprising new archeological evidence that Noah's Ark was real. From there, the episode takes a turn into full chaos as Jesse introduces his own idea for the “Patriot Games”: teams of Americans competing using everyday life skills, jury duty-style. The episode then wraps with the cast predicting the trends of 2026 — all delivered with the usual mix of humor, honesty and side-tracking that makes the show what it is.Highlights:05:10 — Spring-free trampolines and modern parenting stress07:40 — Childhood injuries, backyard chaos and growing up feral12:30 — The unspoken pressure of being “the capable adult”13:33 — SLICES: Noah's Ark evidence25:03 — 1998 predicts 202531:53 — Justin Bieber's faith posts30:45 — WHAT'S JESSE THINKING?

AD FREE DOPEY at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! We start wrapping up 2025 with a candid check-in: feeling under the weather amid a family stomach virus, craving a Sopranos binge, and doubting plans for "Five Days of Dopey" in January (Wednesday/Thursday shows likely intermittent—send opinions to dopeypodcast@gmail.com). We share the ultimate post-Christmas blues remedy: a trip to Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge in Sag Harbor, NY, where chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers eat seeds straight from your hand in the snowy quiet—described as magical, healing, and the true "opposite of addiction."Dave addresses backlash from replaying Nick Reiner episodes (including harsh comments like "Narcissist Grifter" and "Exploitative Jew"), explains his intent to share old conversations without commentary, notes new listeners discovered Dopey through them, and mentions turning down media interviews. He plugs ad-free listening on Patreon (patreon.com/dopeypodcast) and urges positive iTunes reviews.Listener Emails (Oldies Read Aloud)Wendy: Proposes a dedicated recovery-focused social media platform to avoid bans for "junky" content.James D. Hart: Highlights interracial bands like Prince and the Revolution (inspired by Sly & the Family Stone), Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Smashing Pumpkins.Christy Adams: Celebrates 3 years clean, praises an older neuroscience/meth/GLP-1 episode, and misses the original Dave/Chris dynamic.Stickers or socks for anyone whose email/voicemail gets read—email dopeypodcast@gmail.com.Main Feature: Classic Darrell Hammond Interview Replay (2017) The legendary SNL cast member (longest-tenured before Keenan) gets raw about:SNL highs/lows, iconic impressions (Clinton, Connery), working with Lorne Michaels, and celebrity encounters.Childhood trauma and abuse, flashbacks, and blaming himself to protect the idea of parental love.Alcoholism starting at 14 (first beers felt like "the world turning from black-and-white to color").Self-harm as a "problem solver" and crisis creator during prolific periods.Wild Harlem crack house story (mistaken for a cop, defended as "that motherfucker old TV," spotting the St. Francis Prayer on the wall).Multiple relapses, including after a sponsor's suicide.Stroke-ward epiphany that finally led to lasting sobriety—seeing patients struggle to speak inspired desperation for change.Recovery tools: St. Francis (11th Step) Prayer, connection with others, cognitive therapy, yoga, meetings, and the "law of threes" (expect ⅓ great days, ⅓ okay, ⅓ rough).Wrap-Up Dave re-reads old Spotify comments on the Hammond episode (debates over "This or That," therapy questions, possum facts, etc.) and closes with his heartfelt acoustic cover of "Good So Bad"—the song from the first Dopey episode he heard that inspired him to get clean.All that and more on this weeks installment of that good old Dopey Replay Show!

Rusty shares how a trip to Europe shifted his whole philosophy from equipment-based playgrounds to wild, nature-rich spaces full of loose parts, nooks and crannies, mud, water, tools, and possibility—plus why his book Adventures in Risky Play is basically a permission slip for parents who feel like childhood has gotten over-managed. Rusty reminds us that kids don't need us to manufacture wonder. They need time, space, and a little more trust.
