We are beyond excited to welcome the brilliant Tonya Lester to the couch this week! As a psychotherapist, writer, and author of the new book Push Back: Live, Love, and Work with Others Without Losing Yourself, Tonya joins us for a raw and resonant conversation about how women lose their voices in relationships, how to reclaim them, and why it's never too late to start showing up fully for yourself.We dig into some of the most pressing issues we see with women in midlife—emotional labor, resentment, perfectionism, and the dreaded “burned out pursuer” dynamic. Tonya shares powerful truths about why many marriages break down long before anyone leaves, what holds women back from setting boundaries, and how we can all take emotional risks to wake up to the lives we want.

What if the monsters that haunt us at night aren't supernatural at all, but reflections of our own minds? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Brian A. Sharpless to explore the fascinating intersection of sleep, anxiety, and fear.With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Sharpless has studied both common and rare sleep disorders—from insomnia and night terrors to the little-known “exploding head syndrome.” Drawing from his book Monsters on the Couch and years of research, he shares how anxiety, trauma, and unresolved inner conflict often shape what keeps us awake at night.Together, they unpack how sleep disturbances affect not just our nights but also our long-term health and aging. You'll also hear why understanding fear and the unconscious mind can help us move toward better sleep, stronger mental health, and ultimately, aging well.Learn more about Dr. Sharpless at https://briansharpless.com/BUY Monsters on the Couch and other books by Dr. Brian A.

Heftig: Mit BABO - DIE HAFTBEFEHL-STORY rechnet ein Künstler mit sich selbst ab. So intensiv, dass BUGONIA, GOOD BOY, MEMORY HOTEL oder DRACULA - DIE AUFERSTEHUNG, die heute im Kino starten, erst danach von André und Schröck besprochen werden. Vorher müssen sie erst einmal diese Netflix-Doku verarbeiten, die gerade durch ziemlich viele Medien rauf und runter diskutiert wird. Ansonsten haben die beiden nicht mehr so wirklich viele Streaming-Tipps im Angebot. Zum einen FINAL DESTINATION 6: BLOODLINES für all diejenigen, die bisher immer noch keine Zeit für den Tod auf der Leinwand hatten, und zum anderen ER IST WIEDER DA, falls es noch einen Nachschlag in Sachen Absurdität braucht. Deutlich mehr geben heute die Mediatheken her, in denen sich so schöne Titel wie 5 ZIMMER, KÜCHE, SARG oder DIE KLAPPERSCHLANGE befinden, echte Geheimtipps wie OLD HENRY oder ENFANT TERRIBLE lauern und dann auch noch mal dem Nachwuchs eine Chance gegeben wird. Denn unser lieber Freund Max Gleschinski, der Regisseur von KAHLSCHLAG, den wir mal mit ihm zusammen im Rahmen eines TELEKOLLEKTIVS geschaut haben, durfte für das Erste Deutsche Fernsehen einen Serienfilm namens POLIZEIRUF 110 - TU ES! drehen - und das soll natürlich gewürdigt werden. Zu guter Letzt gibt es noch ein kleines Gewinnspiel für die Trash-Nacht in Wolfenbüttel, bevor wir Euch nun ein schönes Wochenende und so viel Spaß im Kino wie auf der Couch oder mit dieser Folge wünschen. Bleibt gesund und gut drauf und passt auf Euch auf. Oxir be. Rocket Beans wird unterstützt von fritz-kola. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I’ve known Holly since the boxing gym days when she was belting pads like an absolute weapon. Now she’s the founder of Wable, a social app built for neurodivergent humans to find love, friends, work and real support. We talk couch-to-global-startup, capital raises, late nights pitching investors from the car, imposter noise, and the grit it takes to keep moving when you’re wrecked. She shares the crap bits too… the sexism, the self-worth rollercoaster, and why empathy and obsession might be a founder’s real edge. We also go there on domestic violence and how speaking up can shift shame into strength. Holly’s humble, sharp, a downright legend, and building something that actually changes lives. BIG love for this one!

'Tis the season for sequel films here on the Couch, and coming off of our discussion of Moana not too long ago, we've got the perfect perspective on its totally-not-planned-to-be-a-TV-series-originally-but-was-then-haphazardly-converted-into-a-feature-film sequel, 2024's Moana 2. It's a tall ask to follow up a film like Moana and while the gang agrees that the story and narrative feel pretty fresh as far as sequels go, there are a few...other issues...with this film that do elicit feelings of "soulless cash grab" in certain moments. A great metric on judging a film's writing quality is how many mini-Writer's Desk segments we can cram into the episode to see just how much more this film could have been compared to what we got. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

The latest episode of The Writing Community Chat Show was an absolute masterclass in grit, psychology, and the art of crafting a killer thriller. We had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Nikki Allen, the brilliant mind behind the Apple Books Thriller of the Month, The Hideaway.Nikki isn't just an author; she's a BACP-registered therapist, and her deep understanding of the human psyche shines through every twist and turn of her novels. If you're looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a fascinating peek into a unique writing journey, you're in the right place.Key Takeaways & What We Explored:Our chat with Nikki was packed with insights, from her unique background to the practicalities of being a published author.

Welcome to Blonde Intelligence, I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Hungry families. Shuttered paychecks. Loud opinions. Quiet facts. We take on the empathy gap around public benefits and ask a harder question: what does fairness look like when the pantry is empty and the rent is due? We start by reframing “welfare” to include the benefits many of us already use—tax breaks, SBA loans, VA support, FHA mortgages—so the conversation stops being “us versus them” and becomes “how do we keep households stable?”From there, we unpack SNAP reality on the ground: time limits, work and training rules, recertifications, and the frustrating tradeoffs people make just to qualify. Yes, fraud exists, but policy and administration already chase it; it shouldn't erase the majority who play by the rules. We spotlight the human side of shutdowns and economic shocks—air traffic pros gigging to cover tuition, small business owners taking risky loans, parents staring at a pantry shelf. Freedom from want isn't a luxury; it's a baseline that lets kids learn and adults work.We also turn to the workplace, where empathy shows up as safety, fair schedules, and leadership that values people over output theater. And we make a case for practical resilience: skills and trade credentials that pay, protect, and keep communities running. Education is broader than college; it's any path that delivers real work and dignity.If you're tired of hot takes and want a clearer lens on benefits, voting choices, and everyday ethics, this conversation invites you to test every policy against a simple filter: how would this land on me? Subscribe, share with a friend who cares about solutions, and leave a review with one change you'd make to build a more empathetic city.

In this episode of Psyche Podcast, I sit down with Daniel José Gaztambide to talk about his brilliant new book Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique: Putting Freud on Fanon's Couch. This was one of my favorite conversations to date — part intellectual exploration, part personal exchange, and entirely alive with the spirit of Fanon's revolutionary thought.Daniel and I trace the roots of his work back to his childhood in Puerto Rico, his experiences growing up in a psychologically attuned church, and his journey through psychoanalytic and liberation psychology training. We talk about what it means to read Freud through Fanon — how psychoanalysis itself must be decolonized to reckon with the realities of race, class, and power.From Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents to Fanon's psychiatric innovations in Blida, Daniel unpacks the political and clinical stakes of psychotherapy today — including the idea of intersectional suffering and how our personal struggles are shaped by larger systems of racial capitalism and patriarchy.This episode is full of warmth, humor, and deep insight. Daniel's passion for both clinical practice and social transformation really shines through, and I can't wait for listeners to hear how Fanon's legacy continues to challenge and inspire the next generation of therapists and thinkers.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Petar Lackovic, founder of The Sales Institute of Australia. Petar shares his remarkable journey from sleeping on a couch to running a lean, 7-figure profit business that helps entrepreneurs master sales and pricing with confidence. He reveals how 85% of clients in his Convert Club raise prices and boost conversion rates within just weeks and months. Petar opens up about his early struggles, leadership lessons, and how simplifying sales systems transformed his business growth. Tune in to learn practical, real-world lessons from a real and down to earth entrepreneur who's worn every hat on his journey Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Petar Lackovic, the toughest part of growing a small business is getting out of your own way. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly block their own progress by being stubborn, not acting quick enough, overthinking, or avoiding new learnings needed to succeed. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness – identifying weaknesses, gaining new skills, and focusing on the “best next step.” Petar believes true growth happens when business owners let go of ego, stay adaptable, and take consistent, forward-moving action. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Petar Lackovic says the business book that helped him the most in his early days is      “The E-Myth” by Michael E. Gerber, as it completely changed how he viewed entrepreneurship. The book taught him the power of creating systems and processes so a business can operate independently of its owner. It helped him shift his mindset from working in the business to working on it, allowing for sustainable growth and long-term success. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Petar Lackovic recommends learning from podcasts and resources that focus on sales mastery and business growth. He's featured on shows like Super Obvious with James Tuckerman and Inspiring Business for Good, where he shares insights on converting leads, mastering sales language, and understanding the stages of entrepreneurship. For structured learning, his Reverse Selling Method™ Cheat Sheet and his Reverse Selling Method™ Short Course is available through his Globally award winning program CONVERT Club™ and offers practical frameworks to help business owners boost conversions, increase speed of sale, raise prices confidently (charging your true worth), and build strong, repeatable sales systems. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Petar Lackovic recommends the Reverse Selling Method™ as the most powerful tool to grow a small business's revenue and cashflow. This framework helps business owners transform how they sell by shifting from chasing clients to attracting them through trust and clarity. It focuses on lowering buyer resistance, framing conversations around customer needs, being seen as the prize in the sales conversation and having customers buying from you instead of you feeling you're selling to them by creating a repeatable, scalable sales system that drives consistent results. By mastering this method, entrepreneurs can boost conversions, increase prices confidently, and build long-term customer relationships without relying on pushy sales tactics. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Petar Lackovic says the advice he'd give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple: keep moving forward. He believes success isn't about having all the answers from the start but about taking consistent steps, learning, and adapting along the way. Even when things feel uncertain or difficult, progress - no matter how small - builds momentum and clarity. His message is that everything works out if you stay focused, keep learning/outgrowing yourself, and never stop moving forward.

In this episode of From the Couch, we chat with therapist Jordan Parmenter to explore how Korean pop music (K-Pop) goes far beyond catchy beats — it's shaping identity, connection, and mental health around the world. Jordan shares how discovering BTS helped her embrace her multicultural identity and find a deeper sense of belonging. Together, they dive into how music can be a source of healing, self-expression, and community, proving that sometimes the right song can say what words can't.

Have you ever felt like you were finally okay—only to be blindsided by a wave of emotion you didn't see coming? In this episode of Pursue Your Spark, “When Childhood Trauma Reawakens: Stacey Hettes on Healing After Midlife,” I sit down with Dr. Stacey Hettes, scientist, college professor, and author of Dispatches from the Couch, to explore how deeply buried childhood trauma can resurface in midlife—and how we begin to heal truly. We dig into the ACEs framework (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how Dr. Hettes used it to make sense of emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, and her own journey through PTSD. With her background in neuroscience, she explains how trauma physically rewires the brain—especially the amygdala and hippocampus—and how therapy helped her retrain those fear-based circuits over time. This conversation challenges the idea that healing is quick or clean. We unpack what it means to "fawn" as a trauma response, why shame keeps us silent, and why therapy isn't about being fixed—it's about being seen. Dr. Hettes also shares how one triggering moment in adulthood cracked open decades of buried fear, and how that pain became a catalyst for growth. More than anything, she reminds us that healing begins not when we ask what happened to me, but what did it do to me—and what do I do next? ✨ This is one of a collection of tools to spark your own healing journey. Tune in now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen—and share this with someone who needs to know they're not alone.

This week Blake Smith and Karen Stollznow are joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Brian A. Sharpless, author of Monsters on the Couch, to discuss cannibalism—what it is, why humans have done it, and how the taboo shows up in archaeology, medicine, psychology, and horror cinema. They cover definitions (endocannibalism vs. survival cannibalism), prion diseases such as Kuru, criminal and paraphilic cases, and pop-culture touchpoints from Ravenous to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, plus legend-tripping at Lovelock Cave and the “giants” folklore around the Mound Builder myth.Don't forget to grab Karen's latest: Bitch: The Journey of a Word
