This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!It was supposed to be the American Dream—a cherished home passed down through generations, filled with history and promise. A place where children would grow up safe and new memories would be made.But almost immediately, something changed.Joe Campbell shares how his family's dream home descended into chaos. Whispers in the dark murmured, “We like your pain.” Shadowy hands appeared from walls. Children reported terrifying encounters they could not explain. What began as subtle unease quickly escalated into something that felt targeted—intentional.Was this demonic oppression? A haunting tied to the land? Or something that had been lying dormant, waiting for the right family to move in?Joe's story forces us to ask a chilling question: when a house “wakes up,” who—or what—are you really sharing it with?#TheGraveTalks #DemonicHaunting #HauntedHouse #ParanormalPodcast #ShadowFigures #DemonicOppression #HauntedFamilyHome #TrueParanormal #SpiritualAttack #DarkEntity #ParanormalStory Love real ghost stories?

In this episode, I sit down with behavioral geneticist and professor Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden to talk about what behavioral genetics can actually tell us about our kids—and what it can't. We unpack the reality of psychiatric risk, family history, and the limits of control, and why genes are not destiny. We discuss how thousands of tiny genetic differences shape mental health, why diagnoses are messier than we think, and how warmth and firm boundaries still matter more than any “magic bullet.”I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you…” Matthew 5:43–44Why would we want to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us? The fallen natural mind alone reasons that an enemy is someone we should oppose and distance ourselves from, and those who persecute us deserve our wrath and condemnation. Without grace, our minds are incapable of comprehending this command. As the passage continues, Jesus answers the question for us: “that you may be children of your heavenly Father…”A child inherits his or her DNA from the mother and father. Children often resemble their parents, adopt certain traits, and might imitate some of their habits. These similarities result from both biology and learned behavior. If we choose God the Father as our true Father in Heaven, becoming a member of Jesus' family, we must inherit God's spiritual “DNA,” adopt His traits, and imitate our Lord's moral habits. Otherwise, we are not children of our heavenly Father.Just as membership in an earthly family carries obligations—such as compassion, support, and faithfulness—so does membership in God's family, with even greater responsibilities. For example, if a child of an earthly family rebels, is hostile, rejects his parents and siblings, and leaves them, the child loses out on the numerous blessings of family life, especially when the parents and other siblings are faithful servants of God. Likewise, by refusing to follow God's divine commands, we miss out on the blessings He gives His children.Because being a member of God's family demands great love, Jesus addresses the ultimate requirement He expects of us: “be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” True, we might only attain perfection in Heaven once we experience the purifying fires of Purgatory. However, that doesn't change the family obligations our Father imposes upon us in this life. God expects perfection, including a radical love of everyone—those who love us and those deemed “enemies” or who persecute us.The love to which God calls us knows no bounds because our heavenly Father's love for us knows no bounds. True children take on His spiritual DNA and moral habits. Moral perfection leads to spiritual communion with God—Divine Union—a gift beyond anything a rebellious spiritual child could attain through effort alone. Reflect today on God's incredible invitation given to you to be a member of His family. As you hear that invitation and respond with acceptance, consider the requirements that result from that choice. Look at those in your life for whom you hold a grudge, have a complicated relationship, or have been hurt. Do not act according to natural reason alone. Allow your mind to be elevated by truth so that you understand what God expects of you, and allow your will to be strengthened by grace so that you can act toward others as your heavenly Father acts toward you. Most loving God, Your love never fails, never diminishes, never changes. It is perfect in every way. My love is often selfish, limited, and erratic. I accept Your invitation to be a member of Your heavenly family and pray that I will learn to see all people with Your wisdom and love them with Your heart. Forgive me for my lack of love, and transform me into Your child by grace. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Église Saint-Martin de Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

This week we speak with Dr. John Brown who is the Harris B. Schumacker Professor Emeritus of Surgery at the University of Indiana. A congenital heart surgeon for over 45 years, Dr. Brown has performed more than 15,000 pediatric heart operations at Riley Hospital for Children and another 5000 heart operations in adults at IU and Methodist Hospitals. He performed the first pediatric heart transplant in Indiana and developed the first clinical use of the bovine jugular vein and valve for a pulmonary valve replacment in children. He also performed the only known twin to twin newborn heart transplant in the world. He has done and seen it all and has a unique perspective. How did he achieve so much and still have a succesful 56 year marriage to his wife Carol Ann? What is Dr. Brown most proud of in a career that is as prolific as his? What advice would he have have for the next generation? Prepare to be inspired by this master surgeon and friend and colleague of many in our field.

The conversation delves into the commercialization of human reproduction, highlighting cases of ultra-wealthy individuals using surrogacy to create dynasties, and the moral implications of treating children as commodities. Dr. Morris emphasizes the need to focus on children's rights and identity, drawing parallels between surrogacy and historical practices of human trafficking and slavery.

In this episode, Andrea sheds light on the disconnect between the narrative presented publicly vs the medical records and trial testimony. She traces how ketamine became the driving force in Maya Kowalski's treatment from Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick. What followed was a rapid escalation: four-day ketamine infusions, increasingly alarming blog posts written in Maya's voice, and ultimately a controversial, high-dose ketamine coma in Mexico. This sets the stage for Maya's arrival at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. *** Try out Andrea's Podcaster Coaching App: https://studio.com/apps/andrea/podcaster Order Andrea's book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Melanye “Dr. Mac.” Maclin joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women. Drawing from over 25 years of research and patient experience, she explains how chemicals used in these products absorb through the scalp, disrupt hormones, and significantly increase the risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and infertility. The conversation also highlights systemic resistance from the beauty industry, government agencies, and even consumers themselves—primarily due to financial incentives and lack of awareness. Dr. Mac advocates for safer hair practices, increased education, and protective measures to reduce exposure. She also discusses her pioneering internal hair‑health supplements, Bella Nutri, for women (2004) and men (2008), and how she helped introduce the U.S. market to nutritional hair support long before it was mainstream. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: 1. Educate listeners about the hidden health dangers …of chemical hair treatments including relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic hair containing benzene. 2. Advocate for informed hair‑care decisions Dr. Mac wants women—especially Black women—to understand how beauty practices impact long‑term health. 3. Encourage the beauty industry to adopt safety protocols Such as scalp protection, warning labels, and honest communication about risks. 4. Highlight Dr. Mac’s work and products Including her Bella Nutri supplements and educational platforms (Ask Dr. Mac). 5. Empower parents to protect children By avoiding chemical treatments on young girls whose bodies are especially vulnerable. Key Takeaways 1. Chemical relaxers and permanent hair dyes are strongly linked to increased cancer risks. Permanent dyes raise the risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Black women exhibit a 45% increased risk of breast cancer when using permanent dyes. Combining dyes with relaxers significantly compounds the danger. 2. The danger comes from chemical absorption into the scalp. Relaxer chemicals include sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide. These chemicals burn through the scalp, entering the bloodstream and disrupting hormones, leading to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, and cancer. 3. Synthetic braiding hair contains benzene—a carcinogen. Benzene exposure affects both the stylist and the client. Risks include lung cancer and leukemia. 4. The beauty industry resists change because of profit. Salons rarely display warnings because “it affects business.” The relaxer–damage→hair‑loss→extensions cycle creates a lucrative revenue loop. 5. Children are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure. Relaxers on children under 10 can cause: early puberty fibroids infertility early hysterectomies increased cancer risk Dr. Mac advises never relaxing a child’s hair, but if done, the product must stay on no more than 5–10 minutes with complete scalp protection. 6. Scalp protection is essential for anyone still using relaxers. Use petroleum jelly over the entire scalp, not just the hairline. This reduces chemical absorption during both application and rinsing. 7. Dr. Mac pioneered the U.S. hair‑supplement industry. Developed Bella Nutri after research with a Finnish company (Scalp). Initially dismissed as a “witch doctor,” but now the hair‑supplement market is mainstream. 8. She refuses to participate in relaxer‑related lawsuits. Because she has warned people for 20+ years, she cannot ethically testify for those who ignored repeated warnings. Notable Quotes On the impact of chemicals: “The chemicals burn through the scalp… getting into the main bloodstream and causing hormone disruption.” On the increased cancer risk: “African‑Americans have a more than 45% increased risk when we use permanent hair dyes.” On synthetic braids: “As long as that synthetic hair is on her head, she is breathing in benzene.” On industry pushback: “People are about the green‑eyed devil called money.” On relaxing children’s hair: “Hopefully a mother doesn’t take her child to get a relaxer.” “Hair chemicals can lead to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, even hysterectomies before age 40.” On the vicious cycle of damage and profit: “It’s a 360‑degree money‑making cycle.” On caring more than her patients: “I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they are caring about their own.” On pioneering supplements: “Hair and skin are internal organs—they manifest externally.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Gerron Duhon. Purpose of the Interview The conversation aimed to: Highlight the importance of financial literacy for young adults. Share Jerron Duhon’s personal journey from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Yale University and into holistic financial planning. Promote his book “The Purpose of Paper”, which focuses on building generational wealth and breaking harmful financial habits. Key Takeaways Personal Journey & Identity Shift Jerron used football as a “meal ticket” to escape his hometown, but a concussion ended his athletic career, causing an identity crisis. He pivoted toward financial education and wealth creation, emphasizing long-term planning. Misconceptions About Wealth Many young adults believe wealth comes quickly through gambling, sports betting, or flashy investments. Social media fuels the desire to display wealth rather than build wealth, leading to poor financial decisions. Financial Habits & Framework Jerron introduced his AIMS framework: Awareness: Know your current financial state. Intention: Set clear goals and reverse-engineer steps. Mindset Change: Focus on future self, not old habits. Systems: Automate savings and investments to reduce reliance on willpower. Faith and Finance Connection Principles like self-control, patience, and hope—fruits of the spirit—are essential for financial discipline. “Faith without works is dead” applies to money: belief must be paired with action. Generational Wealth Gerron stresses taking ownership of your financial future rather than leaving the burden to your children. Investing should be strategic and long-term, not like playing the lottery. Practical Advice Start small but consistent (e.g., $150/month). Use modern tools like Robinhood for stock investing. Shift from being a consumer to an owner (invest in companies you use). Notable Quotes “Football was my meal ticket… but I realized I didn’t dream far enough.” “We connect our financial decisions to display wealth instead of to build wealth.” “Faith without works is dead—just like in finances.” “Are you going to be the one that changes your generation, or will you leave that pressure on your children?” “Good advice is timeless.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
