A Note from JamesThis might be the most insane chess story I've ever heard—not even really a chess story, but a cult story. It's wild, intense, and ultimately inspiring. Danny Rensch grew up in a cult in Arizona. At just 10 years old, the cult leader noticed his chess ability, took him away from his parents, and he wouldn't see his mother again for a decade.I first heard Danny's story when we met at Norway Chess a year and a half ago. Over dinner, he told me pieces of what would become his book Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life. I worried later that I'd pushed him into podcast mode before he was ready, but Danny said he was actually grateful for the chance to practice sharing his story out loud. Now, with his book out, he's ready to open up fully.Episode DescriptionDanny Rensch, Chief Chess Officer at Chess.com and author of Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life, shares the extraordinary story of how growing up in a cult shaped his childhood, his chess career, and his path to resilience.From being separated from his mother at age 10, to navigating indoctrination, hierarchy, and trauma, Danny explains how chess became both his prison and his salvation. This conversation is about more than chess—it's about control, identity, purpose, and how to reclaim your life from the stories others force on you.What You'll LearnHow a cult leader used chess as propaganda—and how Danny reclaimed the game as his own.The three pillars of cult life Danny experienced: like vibration, the process, and purpose.Why vulnerability and storytelling can be healing—but also how they can be weaponized.The psychological toll of being told your “purpose” at age 12—and how to build a new one.What Danny learned about resilience, family, and community after leaving the cult.Timestamped Chapters[02:05] A Note from James: introducing Dark Squares[02:34] Danny's childhood in a cult and separation from his mother[03:40] How Danny first shared his story with James in Norway[05:09] Learning to talk about trauma without fear of judgment[07:00] The challenge of context—why cult stories get misunderstood[08:20] Headline version: growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness[10:18] Cult hierarchy, trance teachings, and the Shelby School chess team[12:12] Was it spiritual belief—or a scam?[14:15] The role of Trina and Steven Camp, cult leaders and channelers[17:00] How hierarchy and “like vibration” destroyed marriages and families[23:00] The three pillars: like vibration, the process, and purpose[32:28] “The process”: group confession, alcohol, and weaponized vulnerability[41:54] “Purpose”: how chess became Danny's imposed destiny[46:41] What it meant to be told at 12 that chess was his life's purpose[50:18] Family secrets, hidden paternity, and the dangers of indoctrination[55:20] Processing trauma as an adult and writing Dark Squares[02:05] A Note from James: introducing Dark Squares[02:34] Danny's childhood in a cult and separation from his mother[03:40] How Danny first shared his story with James in Norway[05:09] Learning to talk about trauma without fear of judgment[07:00] The challenge of context—why cult stories get misunderstood[08:20] Headline version: growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness[10:18] Cult hierarchy, trance teachings, and the Shelby School chess team[12:12] Was it spiritual belief—or a scam?[14:15] The role of Trina and Steven Camp, cult leaders and channelers[17:00] How hierarchy and “like vibration” destroyed marriages and families[23:00] The three pillars: like vibration, the process, and purpose[32:28] “The process”: group confession, alcohol, and weaponized vulnerability[41:54] “Purpose”: how chess became Danny's imposed destiny[46:41] What it meant to be told at 12 that chess was his life's purpose[50:18] Family secrets, hidden paternity, and the dangers of indoctrination[55:20] Processing trauma as an adult and writing Dark Squares[63:28] Early aptitude signs: multiplication tables and ADHD focus[65:22] Childhood acting dreams and practicing “the eyebrow lift”[72:24] The most painful mother–son conversation: loyalty to the cult vs. family[73:39] Giving away belongings before leaving home—grieving his mother alive[87:31] Medical breakdown, ears exploding, and a failed chess career[88:16] Bedridden but discovering the internet: early lessons in tech and online chess[89:16] Buying domains, teaching online, and meeting Eric and Jay[114:25] On Magnus Carlsen: confidence, health, and the “Great White Shark” mindset[116:20] Chess.com and the post-COVID boom: making a living beyond world championshipAdditional Resources

In the mid-1990s, JD grew up in a Phoenix apartment where his “imaginary friends” weren't the playful kind most kids have. He called them The Wallwalkers, strange figures that crawled out of the paint, whispered his name, and sometimes turned on him. Alongside terrifying night terrors and seizures, JD also witnessed cabinets opening on their own, maggots pouring from the carpet, and a pale figure that appeared behind a shower curtain. Was it an overactive imagination, or something far more unsettling?You can find Edwin on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as @edwincovEditing and sound design by Sarah Vorhees Wendel from VW SoundShare your story through TrueScaryStory.comJoin our community: https://bio.scary.fm

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – So where does hatred come from? Psychologists point to fear, insecurity, and the need for belonging. Sociologists highlight systems of inequality, propaganda, and cultural conditioning. Survivors speak of betrayal, trauma, and pain. Hatred rarely arrives alone—it's often the shadow of something deeper: a wound, a loss, a lie...

Childhood asthma affects 4.6 million U.S. kids, and research now shows zinc deficiency drives more inflammation, worse lung function, and greater breathing problems Zinc strengthens airway barriers, trains immune cells, reduces allergic inflammation, and helps repair tissues, making it central to protecting children against worsening asthma symptoms A review in Nutrients found zinc deficiency in children consistently linked to more severe asthma and allergic rhinitis, with greater benefits when levels were restored A large U.S. analysis showed overweight children eating more zinc-rich foods had up to 29% lower odds of asthma and fewer attacks compared to peers Zinc works best when sourced from whole foods like beef, lamb, oysters, and eggs, with supplements serving only as a backup when your diet falls short

Research has long shown that child abuse and neglect can and often do lead to a wide range of negative effects on a person's life, including mental, physical, and behavioral problems. This kind of treatment during childhood causes stress that alters the way the child's brain develops, affects gene expression, and changes the body's stress response system. Kate Russell is the author of three memoirs about her life, describing her painful experiences in detail, from living with a schizoaffective sister to suffering addiction and subsequently recovering. Her most recent book, Ironing Out My Life: Child Abuse and How It Affected Everything Thereafter, is the third in the series and tells the story of her parents' upbringing, then hers, and the impact their abusive behavior had on her life.Kate is a strong, intelligent, highly resilient survivor, and it was my honor to speak with her for this episode. Links related to this episode:Kate Russell's Amazon author page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0878ZJK7Q Portrait of a Dysfunctional Family series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPY4BFCYDown the Rabbit Hole: A Memoir of Abuse, Addiction, and Recovery (first book): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08785R8S6Voicemails from My Sister: Stories of a Schizoaffective Sibling (second book): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B099Y8HF5QIroning Out My Life: Child Abuse and How It Affected Everything Thereafter (third book): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DPM92KW9 Cover photo by Zhivko Minkov on Unsplash.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.

My walk with God has looked so different in different stages of my life, or do we call it Eras now? But in every one of the new stages of life, I have found myself encouraged by hearing the way other people practice their faith. Today I'm talking to Katie Orr, Bible Teacher and Bible study writer. We are going to compare and contrast what our spiritual walk looked like as we were kids, how it developed through having our own kids, and how it's shifted as Bible teachers. I hope as you listen, you can take and add the practices that feel encouraging to you, and leave what doesn't fit for another season. In this episode, we cover:Childhood devotional habits and family Bible reading traditionsHow to make your faith your own in your teen yearsWhat to do when you feel like walking away from faithCreative ways to connect with God during busy motherhoodTransitioning from survival mode to pouring into othersEncouragement for adapting your spiritual practices as life changesWe are both participating in a "Bible Study Bundle" available just this week. In it, you'll get a couple of the Bible studies we discussed during this episode, and many, many more! You can Katie Orr at this link!

Do you find yourself going from zero to a hundred in seconds when your child spills something, refuses to cooperate, or has a meltdown? If you're constantly asking yourself, "Why do I keep snapping at my child?" or "Why am I so angry as a parent?" - you're definitely not alone. Many parents struggle with parenting triggers that seem to come out of nowhere, leaving them wondering how such small incidents can create such big reactions. What if your childhood "wasn't that bad" but you're still dealing with parenting anger? In this episode, we explore the connection between unknown childhood trauma and parenting triggers through a real coaching session with Terese, a teacher and mom of three who found herself snapping at her kids despite having plenty of support at home. You'll discover how unresolved childhood trauma in adults shows up in parenting - even when we don't recognize our experiences as traumatic - and learn practical strategies to break generational cycles of yelling and reactivity. Questions this episode will answer Can you have childhood trauma and not know it? Yes - many adults don't recognize patterns like walking on eggshells or constant criticism as signs of unresolved childhood trauma, but these experiences still create parenting triggers and shape how we respond to stress as parents. Why do I get so angry as a parent when my childhood wasn't traumatic? Unknown childhood trauma often involves seemingly "normal" experiences that still create triggers in our nervous system, causing us to react intensely to situations that mirror our past, even if we don't identify our upbringing as traumatic. What are the signs of unresolved childhood trauma in adults? Signs include quick reactivity to minor issues, parenting anger over small things, feeling like everything is "your fault," difficulty with self-compassion, and repeating patterns you experienced as a child - even from childhoods that seemed "fine." How do I stop getting angry with my child? Breaking the cycle of parenting triggers involves recognizing your unknown childhood trauma patterns, meeting your basic needs (like movement and rest), and developing self-compassion instead of self-judgment. How to deal with rage as a parent? Start by identifying your baseline needs, practice self-compassion when you do snap, work to separate your mother's voice from your own thoughts, and understand that parenting anger often stems from unresolved trauma and parenting patterns. Why am I so triggered by my child when I had a normal childhood? Children often activate our own childhood wounds through their behavior, especially when it mirrors situations where we felt criticized or blamed as kids - even in families we remember as loving or "normal." What you'll learn in this episode You'll hear how one parent's story of snapping over a bike ride reveals deeper patterns rooted in unknown childhood trauma - growing up with a mother who yelled frequently in what she considered a "normal" household. We explore how seemingly typical childhoods involving walking on eggshells create adults who struggle with self-compassion and parenting triggers, even when they don't identify their experiences as traumatic. Discover practical strategies for addressing unresolved childhood trauma in adults, including how to identify your movement and rest baselines, why self-compassion is crucial for breaking cycles of parenting anger, and how to recognize when you're thinking critical thoughts rather than accepting them as truth. You'll learn why meeting your basic needs isn't selfish when dealing with parenting triggers - it's essential for showing up as the parent you want to be. We also address how unresolved trauma and parenting intersect,

Lori LeDonne grew up in Connecticut with a good family and a passion for music. But after suffering a miscarriage, Lori turned to drugs, starting a battle with addiction that would last decades. She got sober for years, only to relapse in her early 50s — a relapse that would change everything. Lori ended up giving drugs to a young woman who overdosed, leading to a manslaughter conviction and a three-year sentence in a women's maximum security prison. #AddictionRecovery #WomenInPrison #LockedInPodcast #ManslaughterCase #TrueCrimePodcast #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #secondchances Thank you to BLUCHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.

That leads to Genesis 25, where Jacob and Esau's clash over birthright and blessing mirrors the dangers of picking favorites and the pain of sibling rivalry. The guys dig into what it means that God shows no favoritism, why Jacob and Esau's story is really about nations more than individuals, and how grace and forgiveness will always win out.

#644: Why do we both crave money and resent it? Why do some people sabotage their financial futures in the name of short-term comfort? And why is your brain — not the stock market — the biggest threat to your wealth? In this conversation, we explore the surprising ways that psychology and money intertwine. Our guest, Dr. Daniel Crosby, is a behavioral finance expert, psychologist, and bestselling author of The Soul of Wealth, The Behavioral Investor, and The Laws of Wealth. His research dives into how our emotions, childhood scripts, and personalities shape the financial decisions we make every day. Dr. Crosby shares why investing is an act of optimism, why income matters more than coupon clipping, and how our spending reveals truths about who we really are — even when we don't realize it.. Key Takeaways Money is a mirror. The way you earn and spend reflects your real values, not just your stated ones. Tracking your money reveals gaps between who you say you are and how you actually live. Income drives wealth. Frugality matters, but once the basics are handled, your long-term financial future is determined more by growing your income than by cutting costs. Short-term comfort is costly. The biggest threat to your wealth isn't the market — it's the temptation to prioritize momentary relief (panic-selling, stress spending) over your long-term goals.

In today's episode I sit down with Dr. Marc Brackett, Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling, to get precise about what emotion regulation actually is. We break down the PRIME framework (prevent, reduce, initiate, maintain, enhance), and the Meta-Moment: a brief attentional and physiological reset (pause + breath + values cue) that widens the stimulus→response gap and supports values-congruent behavior. We differentiate co-regulation from co-dysregulation, explore anticipatory strategies for high-stress routines, and dig into the impact of “positive empathy.”I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Have you ever wondered why you or someone you know stayed so long in an abusive or toxic relationship? Well, there is actually a deeper, psychological reason for this rather than just 'putting up with it'. In this week's AMM Minutes, I sit down with Frankie from Frankie's Therapy to dive deep into the complex psychology of abusive relationships. We explore why people stay in harmful relationships, touching on the significant roles that childhood experiences and our nervous system play. We discuss trauma bonds, the gut-brain connection, and the physical reactions, such as IBS, that often accompany these relationships. Together, we underscore the importance of education and awareness as the first steps to breaking free from toxic relationships. We also talk about the need for a safe environment for healing, the crucial role of therapy in building self-worth, and the process of addressing childhood wounds. Join us as we unpack these intricate dynamics and offer valuable insights for those looking to reclaim their lives. What we will cover: 00:00 Understanding the Psychology of Abusive Relationships 00:10 The Role of Childhood and Nervous System in Trauma Bonds 00:44 The Illogical Nature of Staying in Abusive Relationships 02:39 Physical Reactions and the Brain-Body Connection 04:25 Creating a Safe Environment for Healing 05:29 Breaking the Cycle: Steps to Change Relationship Patterns 06:02 The Importance of Therapy and Secure Relationships 08:14 Addressing Triggers and Communication in Relationships 12:38 Steps to Rebuild Self-Worth After Trauma Bonds 13:19 Integrating the Shadow Self for Healing Key takeaways:

September means one thing: spooky season is officially here, and we're kicking it off with haunted sleepovers and ghostly games—no flashlights allowed. Childhood dares spiral into chilling encounters, sinister figures linger long after the night ends, and sometimes it feels like the ghosts just want to play too. Stories include: A ghostly little girl in a white nightgown joins a basement game of hide-and-seek and sticks around for years of playful hauntings. A listener wakes to a shadowy figure inches from her face at a sleepover, and days later, an eerie entity is spotted in the same house. A bathroom seance and a game of Bloody Mary summons something dark. A ‘haunted trail' birthday game is interrupted by a girl with no legs near a cursed tree. And to make things extra spooky, we're joined by Cassidy and Amanda of Drinking the Koolaid, who close out the episode with their own unforgettable paranormal encounters, including a dangerous attempt at astral projection.  Watch the video version here.

Send us a textWelcome to this soul-nourishing episode of Life of Love with Julie Hilsen, where we dive deep into healing early emotional wounds, breaking free from false self-narratives, and uncovering the divine light within that has always been yours.

Emotional lability, anxiety, crying jags. Welcome to perimenopause. 70% of women experience depressive symptoms and alterations in mood when estrogen levels plunge or start to fluctuate.  While many factors increase the risk, there is no denying that changes in hormone levels have something to do with anxiety, mood, and depression, even in people who never had issues before perimenopause.     Dr. Pauline Maki is a world-renowned expert in menopause, mood, cognition, and the impact of menopause on the brain. She has authored hundreds of scientific articles and leads a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded research program on women, cognition, mood, and dementia.  In this episode, we take a deep dive into the science of why women have mood alterations and depression when estrogen levels start to fluctuate.   In this episode:  ·      What it was like to participate in Dr. Jill Biden's  White House Initiative on Women's Health Research ·      The difference between depressive symptoms, mood alteration and depression ·      The risk of recurrence if there is a history of depression during perimenopause ·      The risk of developing depression if there is no history of depression ·      The risk of developing mood alterations if there is no history of depression ·      Windows of vulnerability (pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause)  ·      What is occurring hormonally in the brain at the level of progesterone and estrogen receptors  ·      The Science Behind Risk Factors for developing depressive symptoms or depression during perimenopause o   Early menopause o   BRCA mutations o   History of major depressive disorder o   Hormone sensitivity in the brain o   Severe menopause symptoms  o   Childhood experiences o   Current life stressors ·      Treatment Options for Perimenopausal Depressive Symptoms o   No treatment- when will it go away? o   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy o   SSRIs o   Hormone Therapy o   NK3 Agonists  o   Progesterone?

Tale a seat on an orange couch and get ready for a nostalgia road trip.In part 1 of our discourse on Nickelodeon we talk about the founding of the network in the late 1970's as commercial free kids programming to the network's acquisition by Warner which led to & the so called "Orange Years" (1983-1996) while trying to gain a broader understanding of how Nickelodeon became what it is today While some people seemed to always have had the best intentions, the early years of Nickelodeon set the ground work for everything that would follow. From shows like You Can't Do That on Television and the introduction of slime and competition shows like Double Dare to scripted series like Salute Your Shorts, Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains it All & Are You Afraid of the Dark? In the 1980's and early 90's Nickelodeon was a cornerstone for kids programming.But how did a network which basically started as public broadcasting with the intent of making children feel seen become a safe haven for some of the most predatory people in the entertainment industry? It started with the Orange Years. (content warning: part 1 only covers up to 1995 so we won't be discussing Quiet on Set yet, abuse is still referenced in this episode & shows like Ren and Stimpy that are discussed in this episode will be talked about in greater detail for  part 2, Part 3 will start with the All That spin offs) Sources:The Orange Years (documentary)Slimed!

In this candid coaching session, Christine works with Andi, a coach who left a stable engineering career to pursue her true calling—but is now questioning whether to keep going or retreat back to what feels “safe.” After years of effort without financial stability, Andi wonders if she's chasing a pipe dream. Christine helps her uncover the deeper dynamics at play: how childhood conditioning, generational fear, and the belief that success must follow a formula are holding her back. Together, they explore what it means to believe in your dreams even when external results lag, and how coaching isn't just about marketing or money—it's about embodying truth and evolving consciousness. If you've ever doubted your path, felt torn between passion and practicality, or questioned whether your dreams are valid, this conversation will give you clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of purpose. Consider / Ask Yourself: Have you ever wondered if your dreams are too unrealistic—or if the “safe” path is actually safer? Did childhood experiences or parental voices shape your beliefs about success? Are you harder on yourself than you are on others you support? Do you feel like you have “one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake” when it comes to pursuing your passion?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Coaching (and many soul-led vocations) is a spiritual journey, not just a business model. Our worth is not defined by clients' results or financial benchmarks. Childhood wounds and inherited fears can sabotage dreams if left unhealed. Success requires both service and the willingness to receive energetic exchange. Believing in yourself and embodying your truth creates alignment that attracts opportunities.   How to Deepen the Work: Identify whose voice you hear in your doubts—is it truly yours? Reflect on childhood dreams that were squashed and consider how they want to express now. Reframe support not as “fixing” but as resourcing yourself for the journey. Notice where you're trying to make your path formulaic (A + B = C) and invite curiosity instead. Ask: “What do I know to be true about myself?” and breathe into that truth daily.   Upcoming Event: Christine's Women's Retreat takes place October 17–19, 2025. This transformational weekend helps women release old programming, reconnect with their true desires, and step boldly into the life they're meant to live. Partial scholarships are now available, and generous listeners can sponsor another woman's attendance.

Laura Day, world-renowned intuitive healer, has spent more than 40 years helping people harness the power of practical intuition to heal and transform their lives. From her breakout on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Demi Moore to her bestselling books and work with major companies, she’s become one of the great minds of our generation. But her gift was born from pain—Laura grew up in a turbulent home, lost her mother and two siblings to suicide, and survived by tuning into her intuition, which she says “saved my life.” Now, in her groundbreaking new book The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal and Transform Your Future, Laura distills decades of wisdom into one revolutionary system. At its core are the seven ego centers, showing how childhood wounds distort our “prism” and shape repeating life patterns—until we do the healing work to repair them. With compassion, clarity, and lived experience, Laura offers not just tools for reframing trauma, but a path to becoming the hero of your own story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
