Podcasts about Denial

Elisa Tamarkin, an English prof of high repute (Anglophilia and Apropos of Something: A History of Irrelevance and Relevance) at UC Berkeley, joins RTB to discuss Done in a Day: Telex from the Fall of Saigon. It is an extended reflection on the last day of the Vietnam War, set against the imminent disappearance of war coverage in the nation's city newspapers, and framed through her own stepfather's experience covering the war. Tamarkin anatomizes curious forms of self-delusion that flourished in the American Me generation and traces the subtle trajectory that stretching from the journalistic autonomy of the mid-century to the "embedded reporters" of the US war in Iraq to today's implacable governmental hostility to truthful reportage. Back in the 1960's Hannah Arendt and others warned that bubbles of non-information and delusive self-deceit got propagated within the corridors of power and out in the larger public realm. Now cloudy misinformation is the property of a near-ubiquitous social media realm whose corrosive effect (the power to unthink) is far less circumscribed. Mentioned Hannah Arendt, "Lying in Politics" (subject of an earlier RTB episode) and "Home To Roost". Frank Kermode Sense of an Ending (1967). The philosopher John Pollock published a book called Knowledge and Justification in 1975. Jamie Cohen-Cole The Open Mind Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death (1973). Ursula Le Guin The Lathe of Heaven 1971 (Elisa also mentions John's book on Le Guin). R. A. Lafferty, The Fall of Rome (1971). Thomas Harris, I'm OK, You're OK (1967).

Vaccine Denial

"Getting help and offering it up are not mutually exclusive." ~ Pat MilleaDoes "offering it up" mean you're not allowed to also go to the doctor, take medication, or see a therapist?Is it possible to chase suffering in a way that's actually about proving something to yourself instead of uniting yourself to Christ?Where's the line between the grit that gets you through a hard season and the grit that's quietly eroding you?In episode 108 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea take on a phrase most Catholics have heard their whole lives but rarely stop to unpack: offering it up. Rather than presenting a tidy answer, they treat this episode as a genuine exploration, working through scripture, papal writing, and their own uncertainty to figure out what this phrase actually means and where it can go wrong.They start with Colossians 1:24 and the concept of redemptive suffering, the idea that our suffering, when united to Christ's, takes on a meaning it wouldn't have on its own. From there they turn to Pope John Paul II's Salvifici Doloris and Pope Benedict XVI's Spe Salvi to wrestle with a harder question: is it ever unholy to try to reduce your own suffering, or is chasing pain itself, without love, its own kind of distortion?The conversation gets especially honest around the danger of over-suffering, the belief that if you're not in constant discomfort you're somehow failing spiritually, and the very real ways this thinking can keep people stuck in bad jobs, unhealthy relationships, or situations they have every reason to leave. They land on a distinction they return to throughout the episode: getting help and offering it up are not mutually exclusive.This episode is for anyone who has felt guilty for wanting relief, or anyone who has used the phrase "offer it up" without fully knowing what they meant by it.Chapters:(00:31) - Welcome, Summer Confessions Game, and Highs and Hards(22:31) - Defining Offering It Up: Redemptive Suffering and Colossians 1:24(31:19) - Salvifici Doloris: Does Suffering Have to Be Sought to Be Redemptive?(35:23) - Is Suffering Automatically Holy?

Leave us a messge!!////RE-RELEASE////In this back catalog re-release of Krystine's FLR Podcast, I talk about edging and how it can be used inside a female-led relationship.This episode is the first part of a three-episode plan where I wanted to talk about edging first, then orgasm denial and orgasm control, and then eventually bring my subbie on to talk about whether these things are actually necessary for a successful long-term female-led relationship.I start by breaking down the stages of orgasm, because understanding arousal matters if you are going to talk about edging. Edging is basically getting yourself or your partner right to the edge of orgasm, stopping the stimulation, letting things calm down, and then starting again. It can be done alone or with a partner, and it can create stronger orgasms, more awareness of your body, and a deeper sense of connection.I also talk about why people need to know their own bodies before they can expect a partner to know what works for them. Masturbation, sex toys, communication, and self-exploration should not carry shame. If you do not know what feels good to you, how are you supposed to explain that to someone else?Inside an FLR, edging can be used in a lot of different ways. It can be punishment, reward, foreplay, denial, connection, mindfulness, or just something fun and hot to explore together. For me, the most interesting part is how intentional it can make both partners. You have to pay attention. You have to know your partner's signs. You have to communicate what you want from the experience.The biggest takeaway is that edging is another tool you can use in your relationship if it works for you. It does not have to be part of every FLR, but it can absolutely add power, control, anticipation, and connection when both people are into it.5 Talking PointsWhat edging actually isI explain edging in simple terms: getting yourself or your partner right to the edge of orgasm, stopping stimulation, letting the body calm down, and then starting again.Why edging can make orgasms strongerOne of the biggest reasons people practice edging is because it can make the final orgasm feel more intense, last longer, or feel more powerful.Know your body before expecting someone else to know itI talk about why self-exploration matters. If you do not know what turns you on or what feels good, it is much harder to communicate that to a partner.Sex toys are not a threatI push back on the idea that a woman using a vibrator or toy means her partner is not enough. Toys can add sensation, variety, and intensity. They should not automatically be taken as an insult.How edging can fit into an FLREdging can be used as punishment, reward, foreplay, denial, or connection. Like everything else in a female-led relationship, how you use it depends on your dynamic, your communication, and what works for both of you.To find that Audio versions of the FLR Skool courses, just click here.Or FLRSkool SubscribeSupport the showWant to keep this conversation going?Join us inside FLRSkool.com — where real couples are having real conversations about female-led relationships!

video: https://youtu.be/tksoVnYTz1c This week in Linux, we learned that NVIDIA might be buying Hugging Face and this AI community platform reportedly rejected extra investment from NVIDIA because they didn't want one company having too much influence. Now NVIDIA may be buying the entire company. Someone dumped more than 125 bug reports into QEMU in under ten minutes, leading one maintainer to call it an effective denial-of-service attack. Debian finished their debate on what to do with AI contributions and their decision was surprising. LibreOffice has a new release where they made it very clear they aren't interested in adding Ai tools to summarize the document you just wrote. Plus Flatpak is getting more than half a million euros to improve Linux app security and sandboxing, so that's awesome. And all of this is happening while Linux celebrates 35 years of the kernel.

Delay does not mean denial. When an answer to prayer does not come as quickly as we hoped, it's easy to become discouraged, question God's willingness, or wonder if our prayers are heard.In Part 3 of "Prayer - Drawing Near to God," Duane Sheriff teaches the importance of persistence in prayer. Through Jesus' parables of the persistent friend and the persistent widow, he explains that God is not reluctant or unwilling to answer His children. Instead, believers are called to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking without giving up or losing heart.When the manifestation of answered prayer isn't immediate or takes longer than we expect, we can assume it's a denial. But sometimes, God needs to work in our hearts to strengthen our character, reveal areas of weakness, and deepen our relationship with Him.Persistence is not about begging God, wearing Him down, or trying to convince Him to act. It's about standing in faith, trusting in His goodness, and refusing to allow delay to bring discouragement. Pray without ceasing, stand when answers seem delayed, and remember delay does not mean denial.

In 2026, we're slowing down to soak in the story that invites us to believe. The Gospel of John doesn't just tell us what Jesus did—it reveals who He is. Through signs and stories, questions and conversations, light and life, John calls us again and again to “come and see.” Over the next year, we'll walk with Jesus from the opening words—“In the beginning”—to the empty tomb, discovering how encountering Christ shapes our faith, our hope, and our everyday lives. This is more than a study; it's an invitation to deeper belief and fuller life. Learn more with Pastor Young from Kindred Church.

Dr. Karen Litzy sits down with Jennifer Burnham Grubbs, founder of Ionava, to unpack why traditional health insurance often penalizes healthy people instead of rewarding them. Jennifer draws on 21 years in the insurance industry to explain what she saw, why she built a new financial category, and how Ionava is designed to reward health-conscious behavior with greater flexibility and less friction. We discuss why healthy people often get poor value from insurance, how Ionava differs from HSAs, FSAs, and health sharing ministries, and how its wallet-based model is meant to make health financial preparedness more practical.   Key topics   Jennifer explains why she built Ionava after two decades as an insurance broker and consultant, including seeing denied coverage, surprise billing, and confusing utilization patterns firsthand. The episode explores the idea that healthy people often subsidize the system without getting a meaningful return, even when they follow preventive care recommendations. Karen and Jennifer compare traditional insurance with a "good driver discount" model, highlighting how insurance rarely rewards healthier behavior. Jennifer explains why Ionava is not health insurance or an HSA, but a new financial category built around health, financial preparedness, and wellness spending. The conversation covers how Ionava's wallet works, including how users can spend on qualifying health and wellness expenses, from gym memberships to supplements and cosmetic wellness categories. Jennifer contrasts Ionava with HSAs and FSAs, emphasizing that Ionava is funded through the subscription and is designed to roll over rather than expire. They also discuss health sharing ministries and why Ionava was built to be secular and broadly accessible rather than tied to religious attestation. Jennifer explains the health score quiz, how it helps price vaults, and why Ionava currently starts with the healthiest applicants to maintain actuarial discipline. The episode dives into pre-existing conditions, how current health status affects eligibility, and why some people may be asked to wait as the pool expands. Karen and Jennifer unpack how Ionava avoids the network and contracted-rate limitations that shape traditional insurance, including why cash-based purchasing offers more flexibility across states and even internationally.   Timestamps   00:00 - Why healthy people feel punished by the insurance system 01:13 - Jennifer's 21 years inside insurance and what she saw 02:40 - Denials, surprise bills, and the pain points that shaped Ionava 03:30 - Why there is no "good driver discount" for health 05:01 - Why most people never get their money's worth from insurance 06:18 - Preventive care that still triggers hidden costs 07:16 - The problem with opaque medical pricing 08:38 - Why innovation often falls outside traditional coverage 09:27 - Why Jennifer first tried to fix insurance from the inside 11:43 - The limits of claims help and out-of-network gaps 13:42 - Why the private sector had to build a new answer 14:15 - What "health financial preparedness" means 15:39 - Health as physical, mental, and financial readiness 16:41 - Why people still buy insurance even when they hate it 17:12 - Ionava as an alternative or layered financial strategy 18:28 - How Ionava differs from HSAs 20:20 - Why Ionava is more like a funded debit wallet 21:46 - What counts as a qualified spend 22:10 - Why FSAs can feel like a use-it-or-lose-it trap 23:34 - Why Ionava rolls over and rewards healthy behavior 24:17 - How Ionava differs from health sharing ministries 26:36 - Why the health score exists 27:34 - How vault pricing works and why rates are locked for life 29:01 - Optional biometrics and earning more on your wallet balance 30:29 - How Ionava thinks about pre-existing conditions 31:57 - Why some applicants may be asked to come back later 33:11 - Beauty, fitness, and wellness spending inside the wallet 34:37 - The support system for new users 36:15 - Why Ionava is different from reimbursement-based models 37:37 - How insurance networks and contracted rates really work 41:04 - Why Ionava uses cash pricing worldwide 42:39 - Jennifer's weekly wellness spend: supplements 43:18 - The biggest myth healthy people believe about insurance 43:47 - Why she wants HSAs to fund Ionava vaults 44:18 - Books that shaped her thinking: The Go Giver and Give and Take 46:10 - Gardening, herbs, and staying grounded while building a company 47:18 - Where to learn more about Ionava and reserve a vault   More About Jennifer:   Jennifer (Azar) Burnham-Grubbs, is the Founder and CEO of Quantum Insurance Services and the Founder of ionava. She's spent 21 years inside the insurance industry as a fiduciary broker, managing over $100 million in insurance products for clients ranging from professional athletes and C-suite executives to everyday families. She's also the co-founder of Womxn of Wealth, a nonprofit dedicated to building women's financial acumen. After more than two decades inside the system, she launched ionava — a new financial category built for the healthy consumers the insurance system overcharges and underserves.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest truth in a relationship is usually the one nobody is willing to say out loud. In this episode, we unpack the taboo reality of growth orientation in intimate partnerships, why a partner who will not grow alongside you eventually becomes the ceiling on your own life, and why denial, delusion, and distancing are the three ways most people avoid seeing it.We get into the narrative that says you are never supposed to judge your partner, and why that belief is quietly costing people decades. Judgment is not the problem. Unfair, harsh, and maladaptive judgment is. From there we look at what a partnership is actually for, whether it exists to reinforce who you already are or to challenge the growth edges of who you are becoming, and then break down the three specific areas where a non growth oriented partner holds you back: emotionally, socially, and psychologically.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #483 | How to Hold Two Truths at the Same Time - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000752414280Learn more about:

In this episode of the Empowering Plans podcast, we examine real-world claims that spiraled into appeals, IDR proceedings, provider disputes, participant complaints, and potential litigation in order to demonstrate that a plan can make all the right decisions but still end up in the wrong place. Attorneys Jon Jablon and John Gresh discuss why strong plan language and a defensible rationale are only part of the equation, and why clear communications, careful documentation, timely administration, and early identification of potential problems have become more important than ever.

Why am I so hard on myself? Because your self-criticism was installed in childhood, and Roger Federer's own career numbers prove the standard you're beating yourself with is a lie.In this video, trauma recovery and relationship coach Kenny Weiss explains where self-criticism really comes from, how to stop being a perfectionist by replacing the inner attack with a clean correction, and the exact process that quiets the voice that keeps you awake at night replaying your mistakes.Kenny walks you through his three proprietary frameworks: the Worst Day Cycle™ (Trauma, Fear, Shame, Denial), the Authentic Self Cycle™ (Truth, Responsibility, Healing, Forgiveness), and the six steps of the Emotional Authenticity Method™, including Feelization, the step that rewires the emotional blueprint at the root instead of managing symptoms.Roger Federer won only 54 percent of the points he played across his career, and he is one of the greatest of all time. Kenny Weiss's Federer 54% Rule: excellence is not built on eliminating imperfection, it is built on tolerating it. Anything over 50 percent, sustained, puts you among the best.Guilt corrects behavior; shame beats up identity. Kenny Weiss teaches that healthy shame says I made a mistake, while self-victimizing shame says I am the mistake. A 2021 study in Psychological Trauma found shame only predicted lasting trauma symptoms in people who were averse to feeling it.Self-blame is an antidote for powerlessness. Kenny Weiss teaches that we attack ourselves because if we are to blame, we have the power to fix it, a trade made in childhood when mistakes cost love. The inner critic is not your voice; it is your parent's voice.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist, author of Your Journey to Success and Your Journey to Being Yourself, and creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, Authentic Self Cycle™, and Emotional Authenticity Method™. He helps high-functioning, emotionally exhausted adults break the repeating emotional patterns that therapy, mindset work, and communication tools never touched.TOPICS COVERED: why am I so hard on myself, self criticism, how to stop being a perfectionist, inner critic, negative self talk, self compassion, Roger Federer 54 percent rule, healthy shame vs toxic shame, self forgiveness, perfectionism and childhood, high achievers, emotional blueprint, survival persona, maturity and moderation, inherent value and worth, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS:0:00 — The Phrase I Taught People Never to Say1:10 — Why Am I So Hard on Myself?

The war in Gaza has sparked an intense and deeply contested debate over whether Israel's conduct meets the legal definition of genocide. Genocide scholars, human rights organizations, and legal experts have advanced arguments supporting that characterization, while Israel and its supporters strongly reject it. At the same time, scholars, journalists, students, and others who have criticized Israel's actions have faced contentious debates—and, in some cases, disciplinary, professional, and institutional pressure. On this episode of Arab Talk, we are joined by Raz Segal, a prominent scholar of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. In his widely discussed 2023 Jewish Currents essay, “A Textbook Case of Genocide,” Segal argued that Israeli officials' rhetoric and actions in Gaza met several criteria established by the 1948 Genocide Convention.

August 21, 2026On August 21, 1831, Nat Turner led 70 enslaved and free Black Americans in a violent rebellion intended to awaken his white neighbors to the brutality of slaveholding, Responding to fears that educating slaves was dangerous, states across the South made it a crime to teach enslaved Americans to read and write, Denial of access to education read them out of society, The fledgling Republican Party passed the Land Grant College act that funded public universities, Andrew Johnson vetoed the bill, In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that separate schools were inherently unequal and unconstitutional, When Ronald Reagan was elected he vowed to work for abolishing the Department of Education and to push tax dollars from public schools to private academies, Donald Trump's education secretary pushed to expand voucher programs, The claim was that vouchers would save money, but Arizona's biggest voucher program in the nation blew a hole in the state budget, In Texas a voucher program was passed into law, which will leave public schools across the state underfunded and closing, In Arizona the state supreme court ruled that opponents to a voucher program won't get a ballot measure in front of voters this fall, In 2026 it seems the intent is to exclude certain Americans from participation in the Enlightenment principles on which the nation was founded.  Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

There's a moment that comes for many of us, often when we're at our most frustrated, convinced the source of our pain lies out there. Then something shifts. We start to see the patterns, how we deflect, how we carry judgments about who we are that we never questioned. David Fiala, a licensed therapist with more than 35 years in private practice, joins host Avik to talk about why self-forgiveness may be the most powerful tool we have, how denial, projection, and blame quietly protect old childhood pain, and what it actually looks like to practice letting that pain go. About the Guest: David Fiala, MSSA, LISW-S, is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 35 years of experience as a therapist, mind-body healer, and teacher. He is the author of The Courageous Seeker: Release Emotional Pain, Master Your Mind, and Wake Up to Your Inner Warrior. Key Takeaways: Self-forgiveness isn't a feel-good idea, it's a daily practice, and what you put in is what you get out. Denial, projection, and blame usually start in childhood, when pain felt so overwhelming that pushing it down felt like the only option. If you don't address your pain, David says, it will eventually address you, often through what triggers you today. Replacing the word "stress" with what you're actually feeling, fear, sadness, or anger, gives you real power to work with it. A short nightly practice, visualizing yourself extending forgiveness to your own pain, can create real change over time, even if it takes years.

Hospice providers are facing more scrutiny than ever—and audit readiness can no longer be treated as an occasional compliance project. In this episode, Hannah is joined by Annette Lee of Provider Insights to unpack what today's hospice leaders need to know about audits, denials, documentation, and compliance. They explore common operational breakdowns, the growing importance of a culture of compliance, and why audit readiness should extend across the entire organization—from sales and intake to clinical teams, IDG, billing, and leadership. Annette also shares the metrics and risk indicators hospices should be watching, how stronger processes can help agencies move from reactive to proactive, and why good patient care and strong compliance ultimately go hand in hand. Amid increased oversight and changing regulations, the conversation comes back to what matters most: delivering the best possible care to patients and families while building an organization that is ready for whatever comes next.

Today, we're re-releasing my conversation with psychiatrist Anna Lembke on the future of addiction. Whether its substances, screens, or work itself, addiction in some form touches nearly all of our lives either directly or through someone we care about. Anna breaks down the dopamine mechanisms behind addiction of all kinds, from opioids to social media to, in her own case, romance novels, and shares what actually works in recovery, including exercise and structured abstinence. Whether you're thinking about screen habits, substance use, or just how to build healthier routines, this one's well worth another listen. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode. Please introduce yourself, let us know where you're listening from, and share your question.

-A South Carolina Senate candidate admits she gets stumped on Taiwan, then returns to explain herself—and Rob gives her credit for simply saying she doesn't know everything, which he contrasts with AOC before Sen. John Kennedy supplies the punch line by comparing the congresswoman to Kamala Harris “with more bartending experience.” -Fred Fleitz of the America First Policy Institute joins Rob to break down Trump's “economic D-Day” against Iran, arguing that sanctions and a blockade could deprive Tehran of hundreds of millions of dollars per day while economic pressure, internal unrest and energy alternatives squeeze the regime. The conversation also ranges through NATO, Ukraine and the possibility of eventual regime change in Iran. -The hour turns deeply personal when Rob shares encouraging news from his PET scan: no distant metastatic spread. After months of fear and uncertainty, he says he finally has a treatment battle plan, thanks listeners for an extraordinary outpouring of prayers and support, and declares that he's ready to fight.

Leave us a messge!!In this back catalog re-release of Krystine's FLR Podcast, I answer listener questions in an “Ask Me Anything” episode with my subbie joining me to give his side of the dynamic.This episode gets into some of the more intimate and honest parts of our female-led relationship, including forced bi, chastity, denial, release schedules, whether orgasms are reward-based or pleasure-based, and what the actual goal of chastity is in our relationship.I talk about the importance of communication, boundaries, and safe words, especially when you are dealing with fantasies or activities that push someone outside of their comfort zone. We also talk about how chastity is not just a game or a short-term challenge for us. It has become part of our lifestyle, our connection, and the quiet background of our dynamic.One of the biggest themes in this episode is that denial does not equal unhappiness. My husband is denied often, sometimes for long stretches of time, and he still describes this as the happiest time of his life. For us, chastity and denial are not about punishment alone. They are about connection, control, closeness, service, and reinforcing who leads and who follows.We also talk about why I like having my subbie on the podcast. A lot of my listeners are men, and I think hearing from someone who lives as a submissive husband every day can be helpful. At the heart of this episode is the same goal I have had from the beginning: to build a real community where people can ask questions, talk honestly, and feel less alone in this lifestyle.5 Talking PointsAsk Me Anything: real listener questionsI answer questions sent in by a listener, and my subbie joins me to offer his perspective as someone living this female-led dynamic every day.Forced bi, boundaries, and safe wordsI talk through the idea of forced bi, the difference between fantasy and actual consent, and why communication and safe words matter before stepping into anything that pushes comfort zones.Denial does not mean unhappinessWe talk openly about how often I deny my husband and how he can still be genuinely happy, fulfilled, and connected inside that denial.Chastity as lifestyle, not a short-term goalChastity is not really a challenge or temporary exercise for us. It has become part of our daily life, our bond, and the way our power exchange quietly exists in the background.Building a real FLR communityI talk about wanting my subbie on the podcast more often because many listeners are men who may benefit from hearing his side. This podcast is not just about us talking. It is about building community and helping people understand this lifestyle in a real way.To find that Audio versions of the FLR Skool courses, just click here.Or FLRSkool SubscribeSupport the showWant to keep this conversation going?Join us inside FLRSkool.com — where real couples are having real conversations about female-led relationships!

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down why Deshaun Watson has separated himself in the quarterback competition, with Ken arguing it comes down to experience and readiness rather than accuracy alone, and pushing back hard on fans who insist the decision must be coming from ownership rather than performance. They also debate whether Watson's newfound smiles and "best place I've ever been" comments at practice are genuine or an act to win over Todd Monken. Both agree Shedeur Sanders will likely still play plenty this season even if he loses the starting job out of camp.

THIS EPISODE I DECIDED TO USE MY OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES TO EXPOSE GLARING HOLES IN OUR GOVERNANCE. I FOCUS ON THREE THINGS. LEADERSHIP, SELF AWARNESS, AND AN ACCEPTANCE OF REALITY. I ALSO PLAY A LITTLE GAME THAT MAY SHOCK AND DISMAY YOU WHEN YOU LEARN HOW EASY IT IS FOR OUR MEDIA TO FAIL US.

Saving a loved one isn't about drama, ultimatums, or "fairness", it's about doing what actually works. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Amber Hollingsworth, Master Addiction Counselor, founder of the Hope For Families Method, and creator of the popular YouTube channel Put The Shovel Down. Amber built a global movement by rewriting the rules of recovery, showing families how to guide loved ones toward help without waiting for them to "hit bottom."

Passive aggressive behavior is not a communication problem. It is self-abandonment, and every fake yes you say to keep the peace builds the quiet resentment that is slowly destroying you and your relationship.In this video, trauma recovery and relationship coach Kenny Weiss breaks down why you can't say no, why people-pleasing always ends in resentment, and why the "nice" partner is often the one quietly bleeding the relationship out. You'll learn where the fake yes was installed in childhood, how it became your emotional blueprint, and the exact three questions and words that let you say no safely, without guilt.Kenny walks you through his three proprietary frameworks: the Worst Day Cycle™ (Trauma, Fear, Shame, Denial), the Authentic Self Cycle™ (Truth, Responsibility, Healing, Forgiveness), and the six steps of the Emotional Authenticity Method™, including Feelization, the step that rewires the emotional blueprint at the root instead of managing symptoms.Passive aggressive behavior begins as childhood self-abandonment. A child who learns that having a voice, needs, and wants costs them their parents' love amputates those needs to preserve attachment, then repeats that fake yes in every adult relationship.The fake yes is a covert transaction. People-pleasers keep score, wait for recognition, and resent the people they said yes to. Kenny Weiss teaches that lying to keep the peace is self-abuse, because a dishonest yes abuses both people in the relationship.Before saying yes, Kenny Weiss recommends three questions. Will I keep score? Will I throw it in their face later? Will I resent them? If any answer is yes, the honest response is, "I thought about it, and it just doesn't work for me."Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist, author of Your Journey to Success and Your Journey to Being Yourself, and creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, Authentic Self Cycle™, and Emotional Authenticity Method™. He helps high-functioning, emotionally exhausted adults break the repeating emotional patterns that therapy, mindset work, and communication tools never touched.TOPICS COVERED: passive aggressive behavior, why can't I say no, people-pleasing resentment, the fake yes, self-abandonment, self-abuse, codependency, keeping the peace, how to say no, boundaries, childhood emotional blueprint, survival persona, denial and self-deception, victim position and false power, emotional authenticity, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS:0:00 — The Fake Yes You Said Today1:10 — My Garage Sale Story: Passive Aggression in Action3:00 — The Anatomy of the Fake Yes: Paper Cut Niceness4:40 — Why Saying Yes When You Mean No Is Cruel6:00 — Where the Fake Yes Was Built: The Worst Day Cycle™8:20 — Passive Aggression Is False Power9:30 — The Way Out: The Authentic Self Cycle™11:00 — The Six Steps of Emotional Authenticity13:40 — How to Say No Safely: The Three Questions15:30 — You Are Not Broken, You Were Programmed

Episode #161 – Knee Injuries  What happens when your knees become the reason you can't work the way you used to?  Knee pain can start with something that seems minor, soreness after a long shift, swelling, stiffness, or pain that comes and goes. But over time, a knee injury can affect much more than your job. It can change the way you walk, put stress on your other knee or back, limit what you can do at home, and impact your family and quality of life.  In this episode of WorkComp Talk, Carmen Ramirez is joined by Shane McKay, an experienced California workers' compensation attorney who has been practicing workers' compensation law since 2013.  Shane has spent years helping injured workers navigate complicated workers' compensation cases, and he joins Carmen with valuable insight into what actually happens when a knee injury becomes a workers' comp claim.  This conversation goes beyond the basics.  Shane explains why a knee injury should never be looked at in isolation, what workers should do when they realize their pain may be work-related, what treatment can look like, what happens when an insurance company denies a claim, and why workers should be careful before settling a case too early.    ✅ How knee injuries can affect your other knee, your back, and your everyday life  ✅ The difference between a sudden knee injury and an injury that develops over time  ✅ Why workers often wait too long before reporting knee problems  ✅ What to do when you realize your injury may be work-related  ✅ What medical treatment can look like, including physical therapy, injections, and surgery  ✅ What actually determines the value of a knee injury workers' comp claim  ✅ Why there is no simple "average settlement" for a knee injury  ✅ What happens when an insurance company denies your workers' comp claim  ✅ Why a denied claim does NOT necessarily mean your case is over    THINK YOU HAVE A KNEE INJURY CLAIM?  If your knee pain started at work, developed while performing your job, or you're simply not sure whether your condition could be work-related, don't try to figure it out alone.  Click the link below to schedule a free consultation with a California workers' compensation attorney and get answers about your specific situation. 

In this episode, a look at how a person with an anxiety condition might deny they have a problem but wants to take care of their symptoms. When there problem to solve, there are a few of us that walk down the road of denial. This is a defense tool, a bad one, but designed to give the illusion of being safe.  This isn't a criticism of people who are in denial. Sometimes it takes time and experience to learn that it isn't an effective tool. But this isn't about perfection. It is being where you are in the moment. And if a person wants to focus on symptom control first, that is ok. We all have our paths. We do what we can.

Go see a counselor. Go to a grief group. Then his son died, and David Kessler had to take his own advice. It took him three tries to walk through the door. Traffic. No parking. This shouldn't be happening to me. He finally sat down with other parents who had buried their children. On the table sat books about grief. His books. He couldn't be the author in that room. He had to be the father who lost a son. Denial came. So did acceptance. But acceptance felt like a floor, not a way through. So he went back to Viktor Frankl and found the thing that cracked it open.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate whether it's time to write off the Guardians' playoff hopes, with Ken pushing back on being labeled "in denial" while acknowledging the team is five games under .500 and six back in the division with a month left. They compare it to their stance on the Browns' QB competition, conceding Todd Monken's insistence the job is still "open" feels similar to Kevin Stefanski's old coach-speak, and both lean toward Deshaun Watson having already won the job based on how camp and the joint practice schedule were set up.

Judge John Judge denied Bryan Kohberger's motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment that charged him with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in the November 2022 killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger's defense had argued that the indictment should be thrown out because prosecutors had presented insufficient evidence to establish probable cause and because the grand jury had allegedly been given improper or misleading instructions about the legal standard it was supposed to apply. The defense also challenged the manner in which evidence had been presented during the secret grand jury proceedings, contending that irregularities in the process undermined the validity of the indictment. Judge rejected those arguments, finding that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the grand jury to determine that probable cause existed and that the proceedings did not contain errors serious enough to justify dismissing the charges.Judge also rejected the defense's contention that Idaho law required prosecutors to establish a higher standard of proof before an indictment could be returned. Kohberger's attorneys had argued that the grand jury should have been instructed under a standard closer to the one necessary to establish that a defendant was more likely than not guilty, rather than simply determining whether probable cause existed. Judge concluded that Idaho precedent did not support the defense's interpretation and that the grand jury had been properly instructed under the applicable law. The ruling represented an important defeat for Kohberger's defense because it preserved the indictment and allowed the prosecution to continue toward trial without having to return to a preliminary hearing or seek a new indictment. Judge's decision also reinforced that challenges to the ultimate strength of the prosecution's evidence were matters to be resolved at trial rather than grounds for eliminating the case at the indictment stage.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Owen Fitzpatrick, a psychologist, speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda: Leading Hearts and Minds through Turbulent Times. Owen has spent close to 30 years studying how beliefs form and change, interviewing people everywhere from North Korea to Rwanda to Afghanistan. His thesis is unsettling: our brains do not simply take in facts and reach objective conclusions. They build a story we then experience as reality. Owen and Andy work through what that means on real projects. You'll hear how a warning from a colleague can quietly harden into a conviction about a teammate, and how Bayesian reasoning gives you a way out. You'll learn Owen's five types of truth, how to tell courageous conviction from dangerous denial, and what leaders can actually make stable when they cannot promise a stable outcome. Owen also explains why pushing harder for buy-in is often the very reason people resist, and how an antifragile identity helps teams face uncertainty like AI without denial or panic. If you're looking for a fresh way to think about belief, influence, and leading through turbulent times, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "We all live in that world where we think we're the one person that isn't the victim of propaganda, and my point or my thesis is we're all victims of our own inner propaganda." "We're not necessarily just convinced by others. We convince ourselves." "Because I think when we say, 'I'm no good at something,' we lock ourselves into it." "Well, if you're not great at communicating with people, get great." "Most of the time our beliefs just create a sort of a reality for us, and that reality can help us or harm us." "So our brains are prediction machines." "Whenever we talk about belief, believing in your ability to succeed in the future is critical if you want to succeed in the future, but that doesn't mean you deny the present." "It, it's not that we think negatively, it's we believe negatively, and we see the world through those lenses." "So I think we want to be able to challenge our beliefs and build a bit more and get more comfortable with uncertainty away from the table, but when we're at the table with our team, that's when we bring the certainty." "We like the idea that we are making this decision of our own free will." "And when you look at what a belief is, a belief is an idea we feel certain about, and that word feel is the most important word of that sentence." "It's okay to believe less in certain things. It's okay to believe more in certain things. It's okay to believe better."
