Most people who find tiny kittens think the shelter is the safest place to take them. But when kittens are newborns or bottle babies, the shelter may not have the staff, fosters, supplies, or overnight care needed to keep them alive.In this episode of The Pet Parent Hotline, Amy talks with Deborah Felin-Magaldi of Helen Sanders CatPAWS about what really happens during kitten season when neonatal kittens enter an already overwhelmed shelter system.This conversation picks up after the “wait and see if mom comes back” step of finding kittens. If kittens truly need help and the mother cat is not returning, the next question is not just “where can I take them?” It's “what do these kittens need to survive until a shelter or rescue can safely help?”Deborah explains why bottle-baby kittens need around-the-clock care, why many shelters can't provide that level of support, and how CatPAWS' DIY Kitten Kit program gives shelters a practical way to help everyday people care for found kittens temporarily instead of simply turning them away.Amy and Deborah also talk about the bigger community cat problem behind kitten season, including spay/neuter access, Trap-Neuter-Return, short-term fostering, neighborhood support, and how people can help even if they can't personally bottle-feed kittens.In this episode, you'll hear:Why taking newborn kittens to the shelter may not save themWhat bottle-baby kittens need that many shelters cannot provideHow Kitten Kits help shelters support the people who find kittensWhy short-term fostering can be the bridge that keeps kittens aliveHow spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return help stop the cycleHow to help local shelters even if you cannot fosterResources mentioned:Helen Sanders CatPAWSThe Kitten LadyIf you'd like to donate to help- go to the Helen Sanders CatPAWS website, or donate to Amy's rescue Starlight Outreach and RescueIf you find newborn kittens, don't assume the shelter can automatically save them.

In this episode of In The Company of Mavericks, we tackle the most requested topic since the podcast launched: the fundamentals of money and investing, and how to introduce these vital concepts to children, grandchildren, and the next generation.Host Jeremy McKeown is joined by Andy Craig, founder of Plain English Finance and author of the bestselling book How to Own the World, alongside Josh Sandford, investment director at Dowgate Wealth, with two decades of experience guiding clients through market cycles.Whether you're a beginner investor, a parent wanting to teach your kids about money, or a seasoned investor revisiting first principles, this conversation delivers actionable insights on building long-term wealth, navigating volatility, and avoiding the most common investing mistakes.Episode Sponsor: Finance TalkingFinance Talking provides specialist financial training around capital markets, business finance, and communications, with virtual, in-person, and low-cost e-learning courses.

What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy UK financial literacy lags behind international peers, and the £20 trillion opportunity costThe crucial difference between investing and trading (and why conflating them destroys wealth)How compound interest truly works, and why 60% of UK adults don't understand itThe main asset classes every investor should know: cash, bonds, equities, property, commodities, and precious metalsWhy asset allocation matters more than stock pickingThe "100 minus your age" rule (and why it should now be 120 minus your age)How to stay the course during market volatility and drawdownsThe truth about inflation, monetary debasement, and why nominal returns misleadGold, silver, and Bitcoin as inflation hedgesThe rise of passive investing and its structural risks for capital marketsWhether AI infrastructure spending signals a bubble or a cycleHow to think about buying property versus renting and investingWhy time is the young investor's greatest assetKey Takeaways1. Financial literacy is a silver bullet. Understanding how money and investing work dramatically increases your chances of building wealth over a lifetime.2. Investing is not trading. Investing harnesses real economic growth and human progress. Trading is largely a zero-sum game where 78–80% of retail participants lose money.3. Time is your greatest asset. Get rich slowly. £5,000 invested in a Junior ISA at birth, compounded at 10%, becomes £945,000 by retirement.4. Know the asset classes. Cash, bonds, equities, property, commodities, and precious metals each play a different role in a balanced portfolio.5. Asset allocation beats stock picking. Use the "120 minus your age" heuristic to balance defensive and aggressive holdings.6. Risk is not just volatility. The risk of doing nothing — sitting in cash and losing purchasing power to inflation — is often greater.7. Think in real terms, not nominal. Monetary debasement is the real story behind asset price inflation.8. Ignore the noise. The average equity investor underperforms the market by about 700 basis points because they react to news. Main Street is not Wall Street.9. Property: think in decades. Don't fall for FOMO. Compare rental yields, salary multiples, and opportunity costs before buying.10. Stay the course. Pound-cost average, diversify, and let compounding do the heavy lifting.About the GuestsAndy Craig is the founder of Plain English Finance and author of How to Own the World, one of the UK's most popular personal finance books.

"I spent five years hurting a good woman by staying with her but never fully choosing her." That one sentence, written by Bryan Reeves, has been read by tens of millions of people. On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Bryan... former U.S. Air Force captain, relationship coach, and author of the book Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her... to talk about what men actually get wrong in their relationships and what it takes to fix it.Bryan gets into the paradox at the center of every committed relationship... the need to care deeply about your partner while also holding onto yourself. He talks about why so many men bounce between total sacrifice and total detachment, why "what would serve we?" is the most powerful question a couple can ask, and why connection time is not productive time, even though every mission-oriented bone in your body says otherwise.Jon and Bryan go deep on the two fears that show up in men over and over again... "I'm not worthy of love" and "I'm going to mess this up." They get into how those fears drive the shame cycle in relationships and how mindfulness is the practice that interrupts it. Bryan shares a story about studying the Tao Te Ching while being completely unable to apply any of it in his own relationship. Twenty-five years later, he can. The difference is reps.They also talk about when leaving is the most loving choice, why men need men's work that isn't just beer and football, and why learning to play again matters more than most men realize.What you'll hear in this episode:Why "checking the box" on your relationship is slowly killing itThe paradox of caring and not caring at the same timeThe two core fears men bring to relationships and how they feed the shame cycleHow mindfulness gives you access to repair after a fightWhy the Gottman Institute says arguing past ten minutes is pointlessWhen leaving in love is the right choiceWhy men's work and play are connected to being a better partner and parentBryan's book: Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her Bryan's website: bryanreeves.com (Bryan with a Y) Bryan's programs: Elevate Your Relationship, Elevate 2026 (annual men's group)Jon and Will's new course is coming out soon... sign up here to stay in the loop https://focusnowtraining.com/a2a-course-interestSign up for our newsletter... text MTM to 33777.Jon's new book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

In this conversation, I'm joined by naturopathic physician and aesthetic medicine specialist Dr. Natalya Borakowski to explore the intersection of beauty, physiology, and self-trust.With nearly two decades of experience in cosmetic dermatology, Dr. Borakowski shares how her work has evolved beyond external treatments into deeper conversations around identity, aging, and the psychological drivers behind why women feel the need to “fix” themselves.We unpack the growing tension around aesthetics and how many women find themselves caught in a cycle of chasing the next treatment, product, or protocol in hopes of finally feeling confident in their own skin.This episode connects the dots between internal health, stress, behavior, and how we experience our appearance, and challenges the idea that doing more is the solution.In this episode, we cover:What aesthetic medicine is and where it can be supportive vs. harmfulThe psychology behind “fixing” your appearance and where it often goes wrongHow beauty standards and social media shape self-perceptionThe difference between self-care and outcome-chasingWhy “just one more treatment” often turns into a cycleHow chronic stress impacts skin, aging, and overall appearanceThe role of internal health (nutrition, sleep, recovery) in how we ageWhy external interventions can't replace foundational health habitsHow to approach aesthetics from a place of self-trust instead of insecurityThe importance of asking “why” before making changes to your bodyIf you feel caught between wanting to age naturally and wanting to change your appearance this conversation will give you a more grounded, honest way to think about beauty, health, and self-worth.Connect with Dr. Natalyahttps://unveilyou.life/Instagram: @desertbloomskincare

In today's episode, we dig into some of the most common (and frustrating) barriers people face in their health and fitness journey: the idea of balance. We share why “balance” is often an unrealistic expectation - and how shifting toward intentional harmony can completely change the game. We talk through real-life scenarios, from busy work seasons to motherhood chaos, and how to stay consistent without falling into the all-or-nothing trap.We also unpack emotional eating, food relationships, and hunger. From understanding the difference between physical and emotional hunger to building simple systems around meals, sleep, and stress, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can actually use. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're “doing it wrong,” this conversation will help you zoom out, simplify, and move forward.“If hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the solution.”- Amy Rudolph“Balance doesn't exist - but harmony is something you build, intentionally.”- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why “balance” is vague, unrealistic, and often unhelpfulThe concept of harmony and how to apply it to real lifeHow to stay consistent during busy or stressful seasonsEmotional eating vs. true hunger - and how to respond differentlyThe power of the pause (instead of reacting on autopilot)Why restriction leads to overeating - and how to break the cycleHow meal timing, protein, and fiber help regulate hungerThe underrated impact of sleep and stress on cravings and appetiteConnect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessTrigger Foods / Candy Challenge EpisodeWhat A Healthy Relationship with Food Looks Like EpisodeThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

This week's Q&A episode expands on our main conversation about why closure isn't always necessary after a breakup or the end of a marriage. Listeners submitted powerful, vulnerable questions about wanting answers, missing someone who wasn't good for them, replaying the breakup in their mind, and rebuilding trust with themselves after ignoring red flags.Keana responds with trauma‑informed clarity, compassion, and grounded guidance—helping listeners understand the emotional needs underneath the desire for closure and offering healthier, self‑honoring ways to move forward.What This Episode CoversWhy wanting closure is a human response, not a weaknessHow to understand the emotional need behind wanting answersWhat to do when you feel stuck without an explanationHow to honor the desire for closure without reopening communicationWhy missing someone who wasn't good for you is normalHow to rebuild trust with yourself after ignoring red flagsWhy rumination happens and how to interrupt the replay cycleHow closure becomes an act of self-respectListener Questions Answered“How do I stop wanting closure from someone who hurt me?”“What if I feel like I can't move on until I get answers?”“Is it wrong to want closure even if I know I shouldn't reach out?”“How do I rebuild trust with myself after ignoring red flags?”“What if I still miss someone who wasn't good for me?”“How do I stop replaying the breakup in my mind?”Key TakeawaysClosure is an internal process, not something another person gives you.The desire for closure often reflects deeper emotional needs like validation, clarity, or reassurance.You can honor the feeling without reopening communication.Missing someone who wasn't good for you is about attachment, not compatibility.Self-trust is rebuilt through small, consistent choices that honor your boundaries.Rumination is a trauma response, not a personal failure.Choosing yourself is the real closure.Special AnnouncementThe first mini drop from Emory Rose releases March 27th on all streaming platforms.

Are you stuck chasing the “best” workout, the “best” macro ratio, or the “best” food for fat loss?In this episode, I'm breaking down why constantly searching for the perfect tactic is often the exact thing keeping you stuck.Because the truth is, there usually isn't one magic move, one perfect macro split, or one ideal food. Results come from how everything works together within your lifestyle, your goals, and your current season of life.In this episode, I talk about:Why focusing on one “best” tactic can make you miss the bigger pictureThe difference between what is ideal in theory and what is actually realistic for youWhy “good enough” can help you build momentum instead of fueling the all-or-nothing cycleHow age, recovery, activity level, and life stress can change what your body needsWhy nutrition recommendations are never one-size-fits-allHow to stop chasing perfection and start building a plan that actually works for your body and your lifeIf you've ever felt frustrated by starting over, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or like you're doing all the “right” things but still not seeing results, this episode will help you shift your mindset and focus on what really moves you forward.Because lasting results don't come from finding the perfect tactic.They come from understanding your reality, owning where you are right now, and building from there.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle with food? In this episode, I'm sharing the key habits and beliefs I stopped that helped me finally find peace with food—and myself.From ditching “cheat meals” and restrictive food rules to letting go of the scale and obsessive exercise, I walk you through the 7 mindset shifts that changed everything. If you've been on and off diets for years, or if food feels like a source of stress instead of joy, this conversation is for you.I cover:Why cheat meals kept me stuck in a binge-restrict cycleHow removing “off-limits” foods gave me back controlWhy I no longer rely on 30-day programs or cleansesThe power of taking a break from the scaleHow quitting weekend wine helped me hear my body againReframing exercise as self-respect—not punishmentWhy true food freedom meant letting go of dieting in every formThis episode is an honest look at what it really takes to heal your relationship with food—and what happens when you stop trying to control your body and start listening to it instead.If you're on a journey toward intuitive eating, body neutrality, or food peace, hit playResources Mentioned:Not Another Diet Book: https://www.amazon.com/Not-Another-Diet-Book-learning/dp/B0B45Q4CLH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1656499379&sr=8-1Schedule a Session: https://www.heathermaio.com/coaching-options 

In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I dive into one of the most requested topics lately — peptides. What they are, how they work, who they're for, and where the conversation is getting overhyped.I break down the difference between regenerative support and biohacking culture, and where peptides may have a role in tissue repair, performance, longevity, and metabolic health — when used appropriately and under guidance.Then we shift into a live Q&A where I answer your questions on some of my favorite wellness topics.PeptidesWhat peptides actually are (and what they're not)Common types used for recovery, metabolism, and cognitive supportWho should consider them — and who shouldn'tThe importance of medical oversight and realistic expectationsHome Water FiltersWhy water quality matters more than most people thinkWhat to look for in a filtration systemThe difference between basic filters vs. comprehensive systemsWhy remineralization is often overlookedCastor Oil Packs While TTCWhen they may be supportiveWhen to pause during your cycleHow castor oil may support lymphatic flow and circulationBrain Health & MemoryFoundational habits that matter more than supplementsElectrolytes I love Why I love them especially for postpartum The connection between stress, sodium, and adrenal outputWhen electrolytes are helpful — and when they're unnecessaryWhat to look for (and avoid) in electrolyte productsFavorite nontoxic brandsMy website www.drhalieschoff.comInstagram @drhalieschoff

Every six months, we get a new version of Java. Java 26 is just around the corner and will be released soon. But most companies stick to LTS (Long-Term Support) versions, which are maintained and receive security updates for many more years. Versions 8, 11, 17, 21, and 25 are such LTS versions. Hopefully, most of your systems are already on the latest versions and you are not stuck on 8 or earlier. As a reminder, 8 was released in 2014, so much has changed since then.If you are doubting moving from 21 to 25, or even from an earlier version to the latest LTS, this podcast is for you!

"What we call healthy on the outside does not always reflect what is happening on the inside."A missing menstrual cycle is often one of the body's earliest warning signs that something is off beneath the surface. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nicola Sykes, a leading expert on hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), to talk about what it really means when your period goes missing, why HA can affect bodies of any size, and how normalized “healthy” behaviors and weight stigma often delay real support.

I'm just going to say it…Your body is NOT Amazon Prime. You don't hit “order” on macros and wake up with your dream body 2 days later! Honestly, this expectation is why SO many people keep quitting.I see and hear it constantly from ladies: they track their macros for a couple of days (maybe a week), don't see the scale move, and immediately decide “nope - it's not working”. But…let's be real. Did you GAIN 20 pounds in two days? No. So, why would you expect to lose it that fast?!The truth you need to hear? Your expectations are the problem - not your effort, your plan, or your body. not your body. What actually needs to change is how you measure progress, and how quickly you expect results! I'm not mad at you for feeling frustrated - I'm mad at an industry that sells instant transformations, detoxes, shortcuts, and hype without education. Your body needs time, consistency, muscle, nourishment, and trust. Stop quitting on yourself, and instead, start COMMITTING to yourself!Episode recap:Why your body is NOT Amazon Prime + why expecting instant results keeps you stuck in the quit-restart cycleHow unrealistic expectations are often the actual problemThe real reasons the scale doesn't “reward” you right awayHow to reframe your timeline for progressWhat frustration after “2 days of tracking” is really fueled byThe simple 12-week contractWhy my real frustration is with the industry (not you)Links/Resources:Ep. 55 | The #1 Skil You Need to Master to Get Into Amazing ShapeEp. 76 | The Hard Truth: Why You Need to Stop Giving Up On YourselfGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Send us a textIn this episode of Coaching the Whole Educator, Becca sits down again with veteran instructional coaching expert Steve Barkley to unpack one of the most overlooked but powerful parts of the coaching cycle: the pre-conference. Together, they break down why pre-conferences are essential for effective instructional coaching, teacher growth, and human-centered school leadership.Steve explains how pre-conferences create trust, increase teacher agency, and ensure coaching conversations feel relevant and meaningful. Instead of using coaching time for “I gotcha” observations, Steve shows how a strong pre-conference transforms the work into “I got you,” helping teachers reflect, self-identify needs, and experience immediate shifts in clarity and confidence.Listeners will learn:What a pre-conference actually is and why it's the most important step in the coaching cycleHow pre-conferences build trust, value, and relevance for teachersWhy skipping the pre-conference leads to ineffective coaching and wasted timeHow focusing on teacher-driven goals increases engagement and efficacyThe role of questioning skills, reflective listening, and open-ended questions in high-quality coachingHow coaches can diagnose what teachers truly need by listening for payoffs vs. costsThis conversation gives coaches and school leaders practical, classroom-ready strategies for improving observations, strengthening post-conferences, and building a human-centered coaching culture where growth actually sticks. If you want to deepen your instructional coaching practice, increase teacher buy-in, and elevate the impact of every classroom visit, this episode is a must-listen.Download the Stages of Competence resource, here!Episode 74 pairs perfectly with this episode!

Today I'm starting a conversation I've been feeling pulled toward for a while now - stress, safety, and why so many of us feel stuck in hormone patterns even when we're doing the right things.This is the first episode in what I'm calling the Safety vs. Stress Series, where we're going to slow down and look at how our body responds to different types of stress, why it prioritizes survival over hormone balance, and how we can start creating more safety instead of just trying to fix symptoms.If you've been stressed for so long that you think it's normal now, this episode will gently challenge that idea. Here's what you'll learn:The point where stress stops being temporary and starts shaping your cycleHow your body has been compensating long before you realized something was offWhy your hormones aren't failing you; they're simply reacting to everything going onThis episode lays the foundation for the weeks, if not the whole year, ahead. So, invite a friend or two to listen together. I promise this is a conversation we all need. As you listen, jot down what stands out and feels true for you.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface revisit one of their most practical and transformative principles — Timeframe Orientation.Your timeframe determines your direction. Most people live in short-term cycles — 30-day paychecks, 12-month goals, and reactionary habits — but true success and spiritual maturity come when you learn to see further down the road.Garrett and Nick unpack how short-term thinking sabotages long-term growth in every area of life: parenting, marriage, health, business, and faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and leadership lessons, they show how extending your perspective aligns you with God's eternal timeline and helps you live with greater clarity, discipline, and purpose.

Let's be real: emotional eating isn't just about food. It's about the stories, stress, and self-talk that drive us there. In this episode, we are going deep, and talking about what's REALLY under the vicious cycle of emotional eating that so many people fall into. In this episode we'll talk about how to break that cycle, not through more willpower, but through renewal of mind, body, and spirit. Because sometimes what we're craving isn't food at all, it's peace, purpose, and the presence of Christ. And freedom around food doesn't start with perfection, it starts with partnership with Christ What is emotional eatingHow emotional eating traps you in a vicious cycleHow to break the cycle Pausing to prayLeaning into scriptureRooting yourself in your identity in ChristInviting community into your journeyShifting your focus to worship and gratitude__________________________________________________________Join me on the 'gram!

If you've ever wondered what “intuitive eating” really means beyond the Instagram buzzwords, this episode is going to give you the clarity you didn't know you needed.In today's episode, Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counselor Jessy Barron joins us again! This time, to unpack the nuance, the misconceptions, and the surprising overlap between intuitive eating and responsible fat loss. Jessy brings her expertise as an intuitive eating dietitian to explain how this approach isn't about rules or a “free-for-all,” it's about mental freedom, body respect, and sustainable nutrition habits that last a lifetime.From rejecting diet culture's extremes to learning the power of the pause before you eat, we explore why intuitive eating is not a weight loss strategy, yet shares many principles with long-term, healthy body composition changes. You'll hear practical ways to honor your hunger, respect your fullness, and plan ahead without falling into diet mentality. We also dig into “diet-induced food noise,” emotional eating triggers, and how to build trust with your body after years of restriction, overeating, or both."It's not about the weight. It's about the mental freedom around the punishment of the body.”- Jessy Barron, RD, MS, RD“Routines keep you progressing, rules you break and start over. You're spinning your wheels with rules.”- Jessy Barron, RD, MS, RDThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why intuitive eating has a framework, and why “winging it” isn't part of itThe ten principles of intuitive eating and where they overlap with fat loss coachingWhy rejecting diet mentality is key to breaking the shame-and-restart cycleHow to distinguish between real cravings and diet-induced “food noise”The role of planning and structure in intuitive eating successRespecting your body as the guiding principle for food decisionsHow belief systems and past diet history shape your relationship with foodPractical coaching tips for honoring hunger, fullness, and satisfaction Connect with Jessy Barron, RD:The Redhead RD on InstagramThe Redhead RD WebsiteThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

When you're stuck in porn addiction, it often feels like there's a war going on inside your own mind.One part of you wants to be strong, productive, loving, and aligned with your values. The other part just wants comfort, ease, and escape. Most recovery programs tell you to kill off the "bad" part. To deny it, starve it, or fight it.But what if that approach is actually fueling your addiction?In this episode, I'm going to show you a completely different path—one rooted in psychological integration, spiritual clarity, and masculine leadership. We'll break down why you keep relapsing despite your best efforts, and why your inner war is the real reason you're stuck.You'll learn how to apply the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework to porn addiction recovery, using what I call “archetypal parts”—the Achiever, the Comforter, the Dreamer, the General, and more.

On today's episode, Duane talks with Justin B. Long about his journey through childhood trauma and how he tried to escape it through alcoholism. We discuss the traps of toxic masculinity, the idea that, as men, we can't share our feelings. We can't be vulnerable. We should be stoic at all times. In the episode, you'll learn how that idea prevents us from being able to heal from our past wounds. Justin shares his story of hope and healing for everyone else out there who's struggling with the same issues. Justin is the author of The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy: A Journey of Self-Discovery. In his book, he talks about uncovering our deeper feelings by addressing childhood events and traumas and changing how our emotions are tied to those memories. Justin has poured his deepest, darkest secrets into the book. As he pointed out, the more sunshine gets on those secrets, the less power they have over him. As he was trying to recover from alcoholism in his mid-30's, Justin had to go back to the beginning of time to understand what drove him to alcoholism. Justin grew up with two very emotionally dysfunctional parents: his dad was a workaholic and a rageaholic and his mom was deep into extreme religiosity and hoped that God would solve her emotional challenges. He found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. His parents didn't have any emotional tools to support him or help him. Therefore, he grew up in an unhealthy environment. The way his dad treated him taught him that he was a failure no matter what he did. Feeling unworthy, uncomfortable, and untrusting, Justin turned to books as a way to escape reality. Then, as he got older, he discovered alcohol. It made him feel good about himself and he felt accepted for the first time in his life. So, alcohol became his tool to feel good about himself. Justin didn't realize that it wasn't a solution or that it was just a band-aid. However, like all external things, it had diminishing returns over time. It worked less and less until it stopped working altogether.In this episode, you will hear:Justin's childhood traumaWhat it was like to not know how to handle his feelings How covering up feelings of shame and guilt through drinking became a cycleHow he changed his perspective from being a failure to being okayHow a recovery meeting became the first pinprick that showed him realityWhat his righteous rage looked like and how letting it go allowed him to achieve true freedomWhat happens when your pain is greater than your fearWhy it's okay to feel your feelingsJustin's motivation to put his book out thereKey Quotes:[09:21] - "My biggest problem that made me decide I had to quit drinking was that the more I got drunk around other people, the more I misbehaved and just couldn't seem to control myself."[13:15] - “Everything that I thought I knew about myself to be true was not true. And I get to rewrite that story."[16:12] - "In your formative years, you take everything from around you, and you believe that to be true."[18:33] - “True freedom comes in moving past that and letting go of that rage, even if it's justified.”[21:02] - “The pain has to get greater than the fear. And that's how it was for me. It hurt bad enough that I was willing to step into the fear."[22:14] - “I'm trying to learn how to feel the feelings and be okay with them. And sometimes it hurts, but I've learned that that's okay, too. It's part of it.”[25:17] - “The more sunshine gets on those secrets, the less power they have over me.”Supporting Resources:⁠The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy: A Journey of Self-Discovery⁠Episode CreditsFollow and Review:We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
