Montel Williams grew up in one of Baltimore's toughest neighborhoods. At 7 years old, a teacher tried to define him by the color of his skin. That day, he made a decision that shaped everything  no one else would ever own the definition of who he was.That mindset took him from the streets of Baltimore to the Naval Academy, from military intelligence to 17 years of daytime television with 100% creative control and through a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis he's been fighting for over 20 years.In this conversation, Moshe Popack sits down with Montel Williams to talk about discipline, faith, and what it really means to build a life on your own terms.Timestamp: 0:00 Growing Up in One of Baltimore's Toughest Neighborhoods3:30 The Belief He's Carried Since Childhood5:00 First African American to Graduate the Naval Academy Prep School7:00 How a Speaking Tour of 1.5M Kids Built a TV Empire9:00 100% Creative Control  Why the Show Lasted 17 Years10:00 The Real Reason Most People Never Know Who They Are11:30 What Fatherhood Actually Teaches You About Letting Go13:30 The MS Diagnosis and the Fight That Followed15:00 How to Reduce Inflammation and Take Control of Chronic Illness16:00 The Only Way Out Is Through  His New Project25:30 The Teacher Who Tried to Define Him in Second Grade27:00 What Montel Williams Wishes for the World

Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 40: Fifty states, fifty forgotten crimes, America's 250th year. Episode 9 covers California and Alabama — two cases, two communities that looked at the legal system and reached for something uglier. October 10, 1890. A woman named Helen Riche is playing cards in her tavern near a California quicksilver mine when ten men in flour-sack hoods crash through the door. She does not run. She reaches up and rips the mask off the nearest man's face, and in that single act she solves the crime that is about to kill her. This is true crime history from the American frontier, and the legal system that followed would leave you cold.December 1888, Birmingham, Alabama. A railroad engineer named Richard Hawes boards a streetcar with his eight- year-old daughter May. He gets off with her at East Lake. He gets back on alone. The body of a young girl is found floating in the lake the next morning. On the same day, Hawes is across the state line getting married. When Birmingham finds out, two thousand people march on the jail.The VictimsHelen Matilda Riche ran the Campers' Retreat tavern on sixty-two acres near the Bradford quicksilver mine, three miles south of Middletown, California. We do not know where she was born or how she came to run a mining-camp saloon in hard hill country — the historical record is thin on her life before October 10, 1890. What it preserves is a woman who managed a clientele of mercury miners in one of the most physically dangerous industries of the era. She was shot five times during the raid. She fought back, reaching for her husband's .44 Winchester with five bullets already in her body. She died four days later. Her husband J.W. Riche died less than three months after her, his own bullet wound never having healed.May Hawes was eight years old when her father took her on a one-way train ride to East Lake on the evening of December 3, 1888. She had been doing the work of a parent since she could walk, looking after younger siblings in a household already coming apart. She was laid out for public identification at Lockwood & Miller's Funeral Parlor in Birmingham, unidentified for a full day. A local butcher recognized her. May, her mother Emma, and her six-year-old sister Irene — all three murdered by Richard Hawes — lay in an unmarked grave at Oak Hill Cemetery in Birmingham for more than 135 years. In April 2024, they finally received a headstone.The CrimesThe Lake County White Cap raid followed personal grudges that had been tightening for months. Blackburn, a mine foreman, had been thrown out of the Campers' Retreat after a brawl with the bartender Fred Bennett. Others in the group had boundary disputes, cattle quarrels, neighborhood debts to settle. They put flour sacks over their heads and called it a community morality action — the Whitecapping movement had spread from Indiana through the Southern states and into California by 1890. The plan was to flog Bennett and run him to the county line. Helen Riche unmasked Henry Arkarro the moment the men crashed through the door, and the plan collapsed into gunfire.Richard Hawes murdered three members of his own family to clear the way for a new marriage. Emma and Irene Hawes were found bound with curtain cord and weighted with railroad iron curve-braces in a Birmingham lake on December 8, 1888 — the same day a mob of approximately 2,000 people converged on the Jefferson County Jail demanding to hang him on the spot. Sheriff Joseph S. Smith fired into the crowd. Ten men were killed. Approximately thirty were wounded. The historical murder case that followed Hawes would take fourteen more months and a formal trial to reach the same conclusion the mob wanted.The Investigations and Legal OutcomesIn California, ten men were arrested within days. The mining community was small; Helen Riche had identified one attacker herself. The trial opened February 6, 1891, in Lakeport — *People of the State of California v. B.F. Staley et al.* Four men were convicted of second-degree murder: Blackburn sentenced to twenty-five years, Staley and Cradwick to twenty years each, Osgood to twelve years. All four were released from San Quentin within approximately three years. The Governor had commuted Blackburn's sentence to ten years following an extensive lobbying campaign. Three years, for a home invasion that killed two people.In Alabama, Richard Hawes was tried beginning April 22, 1889, before Judge Samuel Greene. The prosecution built the case around May's murder — the strongest evidence available, though entirely circumstantial: eyewitness testimony placing father and daughter on the streetcar together, and only the father returning. The jury deliberated fifty-five minutes. Death. After multiple appeals to the Alabama Supreme Court, all denied, Richard Hawes was hanged by Sheriff Smith on February 28, 1890 — the same man who had fired into a crowd to keep him alive for this moment. Hawes wore a geranium in his lapel. The gallows were built by a man who had served on his jury.Historical ContextBoth cases sit at a specific American intersection: communities losing faith in institutional justice and reaching for extralegal violence, with consequences that fell hardest on people who had nothing to do with the original grievance. The Whitecapping movement was already documented across Indiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi before it reached California. In Alabama, the Birmingham riot of 1888 killed ten bystanders, including Maurice Throckmorton, thirty-three, the city's postmaster, who was reportedly trying to calm the crowd when he was shot. The legal system delivered the outcome the mob demanded — it just took fourteen months and cost ten additional lives to get there.California's legislature responded to the broader wave of hooded vigilantism during this period with enhanced anti- vigilante and anti-mask statutes. For the Hawes case, Fannie Bryant — the family's cook and a key witness for the prosecution — was herself sentenced to death for allegedly aiding Hawes. She died in a prison riot before the sentence could be carried out. Her actual level of involvement remains contested. She was a Black woman in 1880s Alabama, easily targeted by a system that offered her no protection.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if your confidence in prayer isn't supposed to come from how well you pray, but from who is listening? This message explores Jesus' teaching on prayer in Luke 11, revealing that prayer is not about performance, perfect words, or spiritual eloquence—it's about trusting the character of a loving and honorable Father. Through powerful stories, cultural insights, and Jesus' own words, we're reminded that God hears us not because we've earned His attention, but because He delights in His children. If you've ever wondered whether you're praying "the right way," this message offers a refreshing invitation to rest in God's goodness and draw near to Him as your Abba, Father.---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM.Decided to follow Jesus?

Decided to run a little solo show this month. We did have a guest scheduled but they needed a little more time to work on things there side and to be honest though I'm kinda glad The guest shows take a lot more time to prepare that most realise, and not only that but because I'm often chasing my own ass trying to get things done in time I started to loose sight of the basic art behind all this and started to become frequently stressed over it. This show reminded me why more freestyles mixes and less pre-programming is also essential to stay skilled with. I would worry like crazy thinking if i didn't put days or nights into the playlist that it would surely just turn out a bit shit, but its really not the case. Its exhausting and not sustainable to be the way I have been and I would have ended up hating the process and quitting in the long run. So yeah long story short, I'm real happy with this month's show despite slightly going off my goal of releasing 12 guest shows within each month of the year. As always please enjoy the music and don't be afraid to loose yourself in it...

This Sunday, Sarah walks through Mark 1 and shows how Jesus moved toward people in need. He healed, restored, and made space for fresh encounters. Through the beginning of Jesus' ministry, we're reminded that prayer is deeply connected to relationship, trust, and learning to recognize who Jesus is. Sarah's message invites us to see what Scripture teaches about both Jesus and our connection to Him through prayer. If you've ever wanted to grow in prayer or better understand how Jesus meets people, this message will encourage you. __Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus?

What do we do with the gap between what Jesus says about prayer and what we actually experience? This week we kicked off our Help Me Pray series by looking at Jesus' bold invitation to pray with faith, even when prayers seem unanswered or life feels disappointing. Through stories of Peter, James, and real-life heartbreak, we wrestled with the tension of trusting God when miracles don't come the way we hope. Rather than settling for safe prayers, we were challenged to anchor our faith in God Himself and courageously bring Him our risky, honest prayers. What might Jesus be praying for you right now?__Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus? We would love to help you figure out what's next! Let us know at https://bit.ly/TLC-i-decided=============Stay Connected!=============Website: http://localchurchgr.orgLocal Church Facebook: http://facebook.com/localchurchgrLocal Church Instagram: http://instagram.com/localchurchgrWeekly Email Newsletter: https://bit.ly/trendingatTLCVisit & What to Expect: http://localchurchgr.org/expectEvents: http://my.localchurchgr.org/eventsIf you would like to support The Local Church GR's ministry and help us continue reaching people in the Grand Rapids area, click here: https://localchurchgr.org/giveNeed prayer? Please let us know! - https://localchurchgr.org/care

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God—especially in seasons of uncertainty, fear, and decision-making. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, challenging believers to stop seeking approval for their plans and start surrendering fully to God's will.Today's Message“Don't Ask God If You've Already Decided”Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 42:1–22Jeremiah 42 reveals a powerful and convicting moment in the life of Israel's remnant. After chaos, fear, and uncertainty, the people come to Jeremiah asking him to seek God on their behalf. Their words sound humble. Their request sounds sincere. They promise obedience—whatever God says, they will do.But beneath their spiritual language lies a hidden truth: they had already decided to go to Egypt.This chapter exposes the danger of selective obedience—when we ask God for guidance but only intend to follow it if it aligns with what we already want. The people weren't asking for direction—they were asking for confirmation. And when God's answer finally comes after ten days, it's clear, direct, and good: stay, trust, and obey.But they reject it.Jeremiah 42 challenges us to examine the condition of our own hearts. Are we truly seeking God's will—or just hoping He agrees with ours?Key Takeaways• God cannot be deceived by outward sincerity when the heart is already decided• Asking for guidance without intention to obey is spiritual deception• Delayed obedience is still disobedience• Selective obedience is rebellion disguised as faith• God's will often requires trust over perceived safety• Fear can drive us toward “Egypt” instead of obedience• God's answers may take time—but they are always clear and trustworthy• True faith seeks God's direction, not His endorsement• The safest place is not where life feels easiest—but where God says to standToday's ReminderThe people in Jeremiah 42 sounded spiritual—but they were not surrendered. They asked God to speak, but they had no intention of following Him if the answer didn't match their plans.How often do we do the same?We pray for direction while already leaning toward our own decision. We ask for clarity when God has already spoken. We seek peace—not through obedience—but through justification.Jeremiah waited ten days to hear from the Lord. The people couldn't wait to ignore Him.God's message was simple: Stay where you are. Trust Me. Do not be afraid.But Egypt looked safer.Jeremiah 42 reminds us that what feels safe isn't always right—and what is right often requires surrender, patience, and trust.The real question is not:“Has God spoken?”The real question is:Will you obey what He already said?Because the most dangerous place a believer can live…is pretending to seek God while resisting His answer.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly, wisely, and obediently for Christ.Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah42 #DontAskGodIfYouveAlreadyDecided #TrustAndObey #SpiritLed #Discernment #FaithInAction #ObedienceMatters #BibleTeaching #SundaySermon

Exploring an abandoned hospital didn't seem like a big deal at first. It looked like every other place left to fall apart—quiet, empty, and honestly a little overhyped. As they moved through the rooms, the sounds didn't stand out right away. Small things here and there, the kind you expect in an old building and don't think twice about.But there was one moment that didn't line up.Walking down a long hallway, he thought his friend had stepped into a room off to the side. He even turned to say something, only to realize his friend was still right behind him. It didn't make sense, but neither of them stopped to figure it out. They just kept moving.When they reached the end of the hall, something slammed behind them—loud enough to echo through the entire building and heavy enough that it didn't feel like nothing.They could have gone back to check what caused it.

What if the boldest thing a nonprofit could do isn't fight to survive alone, but choose to grow together? In this episode, Jay Deppeler, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Inperium, shares how a 25-year journey through the health and human services sector led him to one of the most revolutionary models in nonprofit leadership. Imperium now operates across 20 states with 34 affiliates and more than $800 million in revenue, all without erasing a single organization's identity or mission. Jay didn't start in boardrooms. He started as a 19-year-old psychology student working with traumatized kids in a residential treatment facility, wondering why the systems around them weren't better. That question never left him. And when he met Ryan Dewey Smith in 2016, it found its answer.   [00:04:40] What He Does and Who He Serves Senior EVP and Chief Development Officer at Inperium, a nonprofit-supporting organization Inperium strengthens health and human service nonprofits without eroding their mission or local identity Affiliates gain scale, infrastructure, and capital while keeping their name, vision, and values [00:05:40] How He Got Here Started as a 19-year-old psychology student working with traumatized kids in a residential treatment facility Saw 84 kids at full capacity with interventions he felt weren't robust enough Pursued a master's in counseling psychology at Lehigh University to go deeper into the work Realized the people he was helping were supported by nonprofits that needed to be stronger at the systems level [00:09:00] Building Edison Court Became president and CEO of Edison Court in 2012 and led its first ever strategic plan Faced a major funding shift from program funding to fee-for-service and later managed care Tried and failed to recruit other nonprofits to grow together; ego and identity concerns blocked every attempt Decided to raise his hand and look for a larger partner instead; that partner was Inperium [00:11:20] Meeting Ryan Dewey Smith Met Ryan in August 2016 in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania Ryan introduced the concept of affiliation as distinct from merger or acquisition Affiliating organizations keep their mission, vision, and values while gaining back office support Jay was persuaded immediately; eight months later Edison Court became Inperium's third affiliate [00:13:00] What Affiliation Actually Looks Like Within three months of affiliating, Edison Court opened its first facility outside its home county Went back to organizations that had said no and showed them what was possible; they all came in Helped the Children's Home of Reading, on the brink of insolvency after 150 years, with a $400,000 loan to make payroll That organization restructured, re-strategized, and is now flourishing [00:17:40] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Ryan Dewey Smith Without Ryan's vision, Jay believes Edison Court would not have survived the funding shifts Ryan's energy and audacity know no bounds; he never runs from a problem He gives his leadership team full latitude to leverage their unique skills His can-do attitude was transformative in 2016 and remains so today [00:21:40] When Everyone Ran for the Hills In 2024 an organization with $300 million in revenue lost $26 million over two fiscal years Their bank was calling a $22 million line of credit on May 31st; cash would run out by early July That put 3,800 employees and 35,000 people supported by the organization at serious risk Inperium was the only organization that stepped in with a $25 million line of credit [00:25:40] The Federally Qualified Health Center The organization had a federally qualified healthcare center that couldn't affiliate under Inperium's governance structure Losing it would have left thousands of underserved people in Philadelphia without healthcare Jay brokered a deal with a local healthcare center to underwrite a new 501c3 and reapply for the federal grant Within seven days of recording, they will be a fully operational new federally qualified health center [00:29:00] Affiliation Is a Strategy, Not a Surrender Boards resist affiliation because they fear losing their identity; Inperium lets them keep it Affiliation is not concession; it is a strategic pivot to deal with the realities of the world For-profit businesses do this constantly; nonprofits tend to leave their pragmatic hats at the door No money, no mission; no margin, no mission; the work has to be run like a business   KEY QUOTES "Affiliation isn't concession. Affiliation isn't giving up. Affiliation is a strategy to pivot and deal with the realities of the world." - Jay Deppeler "If you have no money, you have no mission. If you have no margin, you have no mission." - Jay Deppeler CONNECT WITH JAY DEPPELER Website: http://www.inperium.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaydeppeler   Thanks for tuning in!

A divorce filing in the Murdaugh case would have triggered financial discovery. Depositions. Forensic accounting. Every stolen settlement, every fabricated claim, every opioid pill — all of it exposed. Alex was not losing a wife. He was losing the architecture that kept decades of fraud from collapsing.According to reports, Maggie had consulted an attorney. She was living at the Edisto beach house. On June 7, she did not want to go to Moselle. The housekeeper and her own sister both testified to that.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the final part of a three-part series and explains why separation is the inflection point — the moment an abuser's threat calculus shifts from maintaining control to preventing escape. Scott recently wrote about this on her Substack, Spotlight on Psychology. This conversation extends well beyond the Murdaugh case into the universal mechanics of what makes leaving dangerous and what women standing in that window need to know.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donald Trump did something at the Beijing state dinner that he has never done in his entire public life — and it was all caught on camera. Meanwhile, Jessica Tarlov and CNN panelists were caught parroting literal PRC talking points to undermine the summit, until Lydia Moynihan called it out live on air. As anonymous intelligence leaks hit the Washington Post right as Trump landed, Larry breaks down why the sabotage actually proves the president is winning.

What if avoiding politics isn't protecting the Church, but surrendering to the culture? In this LIVE FREE bonus episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Ryan Visconti, and Josh McPherson tackle one of the most pressing questions facing Christians today: Should the Church avoid politics, or is civic engagement part of biblical discipleship? Through a powerful conversation on the Great Commission, cultural leadership, and Christian statesmanship, they unpack why silence in the public square may actually hinder long-term flourishing for families, churches, and future generations. This episode challenges believers to think beyond partisan labels and embrace a comprehensive biblical worldview that applies God's truth to every area of life—including government, policy, and culture. In this episode, you'll learn: Why many pastors are rethinking political disengagement How policy impacts discipleship, family, and church health What Christian statesmanship means biblically Why the Great Commission includes cultural responsibility How to think about politics through a biblical worldview Why “If godly people won't lead, godless people will” is a crucial warning Stand firm.

If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, stimulant medication is probably the first thing their doctor mentioned. And if you're trying to figure out whether it's the right choice for your family, you deserve more than a pamphlet published by a drug company. You deserve the full picture - including what the research really shows, who funded it, and the questions the medical model of ADHD hasn't answered. The story most parents get is a tidy one: ADHD is a chronic brain disorder, it's highly heritable, and stimulant medication is the most effective treatment. That story comes mostly from one very influential researcher, Dr. Russell Barkley, and it has shaped how millions of families make medication decisions.  But when you look closely, cracks start to appear - in the diagnostic criteria, in the science, and in the financial ties between the researchers who built the medical model and the pharmaceutical companies that profit from it. Questions this episode will answer What are the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing ADHD? The DSM-5 requires children to show at least 6 symptoms (5 for adults) that appear "often" across multiple settings. But who decides how often is "often" - and whether a behavior is "inappropriate" - turns out to be deeply shaped by cultural values, not objective measurement. Why are ADHD diagnoses increasing? Research shows that school accountability policies like No Child Left Behind drove significant increases in ADHD diagnoses, particularly among low-income children. In some states, diagnosing a child with ADHD could raise a school's average test scores - creating a financial incentive that had nothing to do with the child's actual needs. What is Russell Barkley's theory of ADHD? Barkley sees ADHD as a chronic, highly heritable brain disorder rooted in deficits in executive functioning. He compares it to diabetes: a lifelong condition requiring ongoing treatment, primarily with stimulant medication. This episode examines both his framework and the places where his own research contradicts itself. Is ADHD overdiagnosed? The evidence suggests yes, in many cases. Diagnosis rates vary by a factor of two to three across U.S. states when there aren't consistent biological or cultural differences between these states. Many children receive a diagnosis after a 15-minute pediatric visit, not the thorough multi-source evaluation the research actually recommends. Is ADHD neurodivergent? Yes - and that framing shapes how a child with ADHD gets supported. The medical model treats ADHD as a brain disorder: something broken that medication needs to fix. A neuroaffirming approach treats it as a difference - and asks whether the environment, not just the child, needs to change. The diagnostic criteria themselves embed specific cultural values about what counts as "appropriate" behavior. Whether your child gets treated as disordered or different depends entirely on which framework their clinician is working from. What is actually happening in an ADHD brain? Barkley frames ADHD as a deficit in executive functioning - the brain systems that regulate attention, impulse control, and behavior over time. But the research on whether stimulant medication repairs that brain development is contradictory, and Barkley himself makes both claims in different videos. What are the benefits of ADHD medication? Stimulant medication does improve attention and reduce motor activity in the short term - but it does this in everyone's brain, not just in people with ADHD. This episode looks at what medication actually does, what it doesn't do, and what the drug company advertising left out. What you'll learn in this episode Why the word "often" in every single DSM-5 ADHD criterion creates a diagnosis that depends heavily on who is observing the child - and what cultural standards they're applyingHow the same behaviors in children in Hong Kong were rated far more severely than those of children in the U.K., and what that tells us about what ADHD is actually measuringThe financial relationships between the most influential ADHD researchers - including Barkley and Dr. Joseph Biederman - and the pharmaceutical companies that make ADHD medicationsWhy ADHD diagnosis rates in states like North Carolina and Ohio run two to three times higher than in California and Nevada, and what school accountability policies have to do with itThe contradiction at the heart of Barkley's medical model: if stimulant medication promotes brain development, why does he say it must be taken for life?How drug company ads used Barkley's and Biederman's research to frighten parents into medicating their children - and the FDA's ineffective responseWhy the scary outcome statistics Barkley cites - including a reduced life expectancy of up to 13 years - don't tell us much about outcomes for real people with ADHDWhat a neuroaffirming approach to ADHD looks like, and why this episode argues that the most important question isn't how to change the child to fit the environment - it's whether the environment fits the child Click here to download the infographic: What You've Been Told About ADHD vs. What the Research Actually Shows Jump to highlights: 01:14 Jen introduces a three-episode arc examining the medical model of ADHD, which positions it as a chronic, highly heritable brain disorder. This first episode covers what ADHD is according to leading researcher Dr. Russell Barkley, how it's diagnosed, problems with diagnosis, and financial conflicts of interest. 06:37 Kids need six out of nine symptoms, adults need five. Each symptom must occur "often" - but there's no objective measure for what "often" means. 10:10 Dr. Barkley sees ADHD as a deficit in executive functioning - the ability to self-regulate over time. It breaks down into inhibition (hyperactive-impulsive behavior) and metacognition (inattention symptoms, which he says are misnamed). 12:37 Dr. Barkley compares ADHD to diabetes, saying it's a chronic condition needing ongoing treatment. Just like you wouldn't expect insulin to cure diabetes, he argues, you shouldn't expect ADHD medication to fix someone's brain so they can stop taking it. 23:30 Barkley says parents might have legitimate reasons for "non-compliance" with training, like family stress. Training may be discontinued while stress is managed. But kids who don't comply get behavior modification - no understanding or flexibility for them. 30:45 Barkley has essentially created a new diagnostic category called Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (marked by daydreaming, lethargy, slowed thinking) even though it's never been recognized by the Psychiatric Association. 35:44 Barkley presents data showing males with ADHD have a life expectancy 6.8 years less than the general population, females 8.6 years less. That's on par with smoking. Outcomes include lower education and income, more substance use, higher suicide rates (three times higher), more accidents, higher obesity and diabetes rates, and higher cardiovascular disease. 43:01 Wrapping up the discussion

Join the world's largest sex school and access 150+ courses for curious adults: https://beducate.me/shan2026  —---------  In this episode of Lovers, Jared and I sit down on vacation for a conversation we've never had this honestly before. This is our seventh year of marriage, the year people warn you about. The year of the “seven-year itch.” And while we've built a life together, kids, history, love, this was the first year I really sat with a truth that surprised even me. For a long time, I wasn't fully certain we would stay married forever. In this conversation, we talk about what it actually feels like to be years into a relationship, how having children changes the dynamic between partners, and why even strong marriages go through seasons of doubt, distance, and recalibration. We share the fears we had going into year seven, the honest ways our relationship has been tested, and what ultimately shifted for me to say, fully and consciously, that this is the person I'm choosing for life. This episode isn't about perfect love. It's about commitment, growth, and what it really takes to stay. If you've ever wondered whether your relationship can survive the hard seasons, or questioned what long-term love is supposed to feel like, this conversation is for you.
