What happens when childhood trauma, addiction and self-destruction take over your life?In this powerful episode of The Talking Tradesman Podcast, I sit down with Reece, a roofer whose life journey has taken him through some of the darkest places imaginable before finding recovery, purpose and hope.Find Reece Here - https://www.instagram.com/annex_roofing?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Growing up in an environment shaped by trauma and abuse, Reece found himself carrying emotional wounds long before he understood the impact they would have on his future. As the years passed, those unresolved struggles fuelled a battle with addiction that spiralled out of control, leading him down a path of substance abuse, mental health struggles, rehabilitation and complete rock bottom.Reece speaks openly and honestly about the reality of addiction, the lies it tells you, the relationships it destroys, and the devastating effect it can have on every area of your life. He shares what it was like living in active addiction, the moment he realised something had to change, and the difficult road that followed as he fought to rebuild himself from the ground up.Today, Reece lives a clean and sober life and uses his experiences to help others understand that recovery is possible, no matter how hopeless things may seem. His story is a powerful reminder that addiction is often the symptom, not the cause, and that healing starts when we're willing to confront the things we've spent years trying to escape.This conversation explores childhood trauma, addiction recovery, sobriety, mental health, rehabilitation, resilience, personal growth, men's mental health and the life-changing power of speaking openly about our struggles.Whether you've battled addiction yourself, supported a loved one through recovery, or simply want to hear an incredible story of resilience and transformation, this is an episode you won't forget.Topics Covered:✅ Childhood trauma and abuse✅ Addiction and substance abuse✅ Drug recovery and rehabilitation✅ Mental health and men's mental health✅ Sobriety and staying clean✅ The impact of unresolved trauma✅ Recovery after rock bottom✅ Personal growth and resilience✅ Construction industry mental health✅ Finding purpose after addictionIf this episode helps you, inspires you, or makes you think differently about addiction and recovery, please share it.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn.

Athena appears to Princess Nausicaa in a dream and inspires her to go wash clothes at the river with her handmaids. Odysseus awakens, naked and brine-covered, and approaches the princess cautiously. He flatters her with rhetorical skill (comparing her to Artemis), requests aid without grasping her knees, and bathes privately. Nausicaa, showing courage, wit, and political savvy, provides him clothes, food, and careful instructions on how to approach the palace and supplicate her mother, Queen Arete, while avoiding gossip. The book ends with Odysseus praying to Athena in a sacred grove.Book 7 SummaryGuided invisibly by Athena, Odysseus enters the splendid, utopian palace of King Alcinous and Queen Arete. He supplicates the queen as instructed, pleading for passage home. The court is initially stunned into silence until an elder prompts hospitality. Odysseus is bathed, feasted, and given a seat of honor. Queen Arete recognizes her daughter's clothing and questions him; he recounts his arrival but omits some divine help. King Alcinous offers generous hospitality, promises to convey him home, and even subtly proposes marriage to Nausicaa (which Odysseus sidesteps). The Phaeacians are portrayed as peaceful, technologically advanced, and god-kin, living in an Edenic setting.Book 8 SummaryThe next day features athletic games, feasting, and bardic performance. A young Phaeacian (Broadsea) taunts Odysseus, prompting him to compete and win the discus throw, demonstrating his prowess. The bard Demodocus sings of the Trojan War (stirring Odysseus to tears) and the comic adultery of Ares and Aphrodite (trapped by Hephaestus's craft), which Odysseus enjoys. More gifts and dancing follow. Nausicaa bids Odysseus a quiet, flirtatious farewell. Alcinous finally asks his name, setting up the hero's full tale in the next books. The episode underscores themes of hospitality, craft over brute strength, and Odysseus's emotional vulnerability.Check out our 2024 playlist on the Odyssey too!KeywordsOdyssey Books 6-8 summary, Odyssey Books 6-8 analysis, Nausicaa and Odysseus, Phaeacians Homer, King Alcinous Queen Arete, Nausicaa beach scene, Odysseus Nausicaa temptation, guest friendship xenia Odyssey, Phaeacian utopia, Homer Odyssey podcast, Ascend Great Books Odyssey, Odysseus Nausicaa rhetorical exchange, Hephaestus Aphrodite song Odyssey, Odysseus weeping simile, Odysseus Alcinous marriage proposal, Phaeacian ships technology, Calypso vs Nausicaa, Odyssey Book 8 games bard, Odysseus craft over strength, Deacon Harrison Garlick Odyssey, Frank Grabowski Odyssey, Porch and Altar Substack.
The word “mindfulness” gets thrown around a lot... But have you ever taken the time to consider what it really means to parent mindfully? Or how embracing all of your emotions—even the tough ones—can transform your family life? Gestalt Therapist, certified mindfulness meditation teacher, and father of one, Vikram Kolmannskog, joins us to share wisdom from his upcoming book Reflections on Parenting From a Gestalt Therapist Father: Life With Leo. Vikram shares about his own alternative family structure, the importance of embracing emotional honesty, making space for playfulness, and how the principles of Gestalt therapy can help us raise confident, empathetic kids. Topics include: • Understanding Gestalt therapy and its focus on awareness, mindfulness, and relational dialogue in both therapy and everyday life. • Applying Gestalt and mindfulness strategies to parenting, especially around navigating emotions (both our kids' and our own), while aiming to be a “good enough” dad. • Exploring co-parenting in an intentional, non-traditional family structure with two fathers and a mother, and the legal, social, and personal challenges encountered. • The importance of allowing and naming all emotions, including anger, for both children and adults, and breaking emotional taboos in parenting. • Navigating cultural and institutional heteronormativity around family structures and parenthood, and advocating for greater inclusivity. • The value of playful parenting, eco-parenting, and the influence of childlike spontaneity and joy on both personal and professional life. • Creating safe and open environments for children to freely express gender and identity, while preparing them for a world that isn't always accepting. • And more!

Welcome to episode #1024 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when the digital infrastructure that underpins modern life feels increasingly hostile, few voices have been as prescient... or as relentless... as Cory Doctorow. A science fiction novelist, journalist and technology activist, Cory serves as Special Advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and has long stood at the intersection of storytelling, policy and power. Over the course of a prolific career (one that includes bestselling fiction, influential tech policy books like Chokepoint Capitalism and The Internet Con, and his widely read Pluralistic blog) Cory has chronicled how digital markets consolidate, calcify and ultimately betray their users. His latest nonfiction work, Enshittification - Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse And What To Do About It, gives a name to the slow degradation of online platforms: the predictable cycle in which services begin by delighting users, then exploit them, then squeeze the businesses that depend on them, until only monopoly power remains. Cory situates this decline not as technological inevitability but as the result of specific policy choices that empowered monopolies and weakened enforcement. At the same time, Cory challenges the fatalism that often surrounds technological decline. Anti-circumvention laws, regulatory capture and collective action problems may constrain consumers, but they are not immovable forces. Cultural norms can shift. Policy can be rewritten. Markets can be redesigned. Grounded in economic literacy and moral urgency, Cory's work calls for ethical leadership, regulatory courage and a reclamation of agency in the systems that shape our digital lives.

Maddy is back to talk about the film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies from 2022, a cool, thriller-horror film that plays on the generational zeitgeist of Gen Z. We talk about how the film reflects cultural fears, cultural fetishes, and unspeakable taboos, and how it keeps us all engaged by appealing to our preexisting cultural stereotypes, our natural reaction to protect certain groups of people while fearing others, and a generational gap that has many Gen Zers stuck on their phones living a life that's fake, digital, and maybe where we are all headed in the future.

In our first live Monero Monthly, Max and Seth are joined by Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni for a candid tour through Monero's origin story and culture. Riccardo dives into the chaotic Bytecoin days, how a secret fork birthed Monero after a contentious merge-mining push, and why missing comments, odd code obfuscations, and a deliberately crippled miner set off everyone's spidey senses.Riccardo shares the serendipitous formation of the Monero Research Lab—hiring Sarang and Surae via a Reddit post—and a hilarious Utah road-trip mishap that bonded early contributors. They also explore how Monero's antifragile culture emerged from a strict no-price-talk ethos, pseudonymous contribution, and a relentless focus on usable privacy that's helped real people in difficult situations.They close with reflections on delistings, decentralised access, level-headed responses to network “attacks,” and how Tari aims to provide privacy-first smart contracts without compromising Monero's design. Listener Q&A covers delistings pushing P2P adoption, cultural decisions that made Monero durable, handling selfish-mining FUD, practical privacy in tightening EU regs, and what Tari brings to the table.

Episode Overview: In this episode of Nomadic Diaries, co-hosts Megan Norton-Newbanks and Doreen Cumberford dive into the nuanced relationship between language and belonging.

Does “launching” your teen mean kicking them out at 18?If your child only becomes capable when you separate, something's broken. In this video, Greg & Rachel Denning expose why “move out at 18” is a modern psyop that weakens families and robs teens of real independence. You'll learn how to build capability before 18—so your young adult is confident, competent, and contributing while still benefiting from mentorship, connection, and family legacy.Key Takeaways✅ Failure to launch is a parenting-skill problem, not an age problem.✅ By mid-teens, kids should be capable, confident, and contributing at home.✅ Comfort & convenience sabotage growth—skills and systems build it.✅ Teach life skills early: cooking, cleaning, finances, self-management.✅ Mentor through 16–25: support big decisions, deepen character, build skills.✅ Generational families win: keep wisdom, wealth, and warmth under one roof.✅ If independence only follows separation, change the method—not the goal.Chapters00:00 Epic Adventures and Homecomings03:02 Rethinking the 18-Year-Old Move-Out Myth06:06 The Impact of Cultural Norms on Independence08:43 Parenting Skills and the Failure to Launch11:54 The Role of Education in Young Adulthood14:41 Cultural Perspectives on Family Dynamics17:44 The Dangers of Social Media Influence20:31 Reframing Independence and Parenting Strategies27:42 Empowering Children with Life Skills34:52 The Importance of Parenting Techniques44:43 Building a Family Legacy and Financial StabilityMemorable Quotes
Do you post pictures of your kids online? Well, children's therapist and cyber trauma expert, Catherine Knibbs, is here to tell you why you shouldn't (even if you're on a private account!) In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, we're talking about the hidden dangers of posting kids online, the reality of online predators, and why the usual rules around screen time and social media safety don't really apply to modern-day children anymore. Catherine shares what's actually happening to kids' brains when they grow up in a digital world, how predators think, and why parents often get protecting kids online completely wrong (without even realising it). It's not about fear or banning tech; it's about learning how to raise kids who can thrive both online and offline. And honestly, some of this blew my mind. Let me know what you think in the comments! ✨ What You'll Learn Why posting kids on social media isn't as safe as you think The real ways online predators target children What screen time does to the brain and mental health The dangers of social media that most parents ignore How to talk to your kids so they actually open up Tips to balance tech and real-world life without constant battles Why attachment and consent matter in digital parenting
Divya Johnson moved from India with her family when she was 13 years old and in 8th grade. This fragile time in an adolescent's life can be challenging for anyone, even without having the reality of living in a new country and learning a new culture. She shares details like going from an all-girls private school to co-ed public school in a new country posed new life lessons to navigate. Although her new school in the U.S. was diverse, there was only one other S. Asian student who really couldn't be bothered with supporting her so she turned inward to embrace resilience and coping mechanisms on her own. Driven by self motivation and high expectations from her parents, she persisted in her academics despite some bumps along the way. She shares deep thoughts about being a single mother while paving the way to more acceptance and understanding that divorce can happen regardless of the cultural and family expectations that occur with an arranged marriage. She explains the stigma of divorce in India and the fear of disappointing family, but with perseverance she has opened the conversation and helped others see a new light on what has widely been frowned upon. She shares deep thoughts about raising 2 girls and co-parenting, while challenging the norms about mental health. Her faith and persistence are at the core of her personal growth and parenting style.

Questions in this episode:Is it forbidden to eat in public?Who is permitted to read the Haftorah?What's if the person who receives an honor isn't prepared?Are women prohibited from reading the Torah?Is one allowed to look away when reading from the Torah scroll?How does one know what the cantillations for reading the Torah are? Who is responsible to ensure there is a Torah Reader for Shabbat services?Who can read from the Torah?Join us on this thought-provoking Q&A episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, where we explore the profound themes of dignity and respect in Jewish tradition with Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of Torch in Houston, Texas. Listen in as we discuss the nuances of maintaining self-respect, particularly when it comes to eating in public. Drawing insights from the Talmud, Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes that highlight the cultural shifts in self-presentation over time, such as the contrast between past practices of dressing up for flights and today's more casual attitudes. We also tackle halachic questions regarding eating in public spaces, distinguishing between designated eating areas like restaurants and food courts, and other public settings. In addition to the conversation about dignity, we also explore sensitivity and protocol in synagogue settings, focusing on the role of a groom during Jewish wedding celebrations. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal experiences and reflects on the tradition of "singing down" the groom to avoid potential embarrassment. The discussion broadens to examine women's roles in religious settings, addressing modesty laws and the rationale behind the separation of men and women in synagogues, known as the mechitza. These insights shed light on how traditions aim to maintain decorum and avoid distractions, fostering a respectful and focused religious environment. Tune in for a rich and enlightening discussion that balances tradition with modern sensibilities._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #24) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!
