Dr. Hillary McBride is a therapist, researcher, speaker, and author dedicated to helping people grow, heal, and reconnect with their wholeness. With a PhD in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, she specializes in trauma, embodiment, eating disorders, perinatal mental health, and psychedelic integration. Known for making complex psychological concepts accessible and meaningful, Hillary is passionate about creating therapeutic spaces grounded in safety, trust, and hope. Her clinical work is informed by evidence-based, de-pathologizing approaches including AEDP, IFS, EMDR, feminist therapies, and somatic practices. Hillary's award-winning research on women's mental health, body image, and sexuality has been recognized by the Canadian and American Psychological Associations, as well as the Taylor & Francis Young Investigator Award. Whether through therapy, writing, or public speaking, Hillary is committed to helping others feel seen, supported, and empowered on their path toward deeper self-acceptance and connection. Key Takeaways: • Disembodiment as a Survival Strategy: Many of us leave the body because the world, or our upbringing, made it unsafe to stay. Returning to the body isn't weakness—it's radical resilience. • Spiritual Trauma and the Inner Authority Crisis: When we've been told that our bodies are sinful or untrustworthy, we lose connection to our inner compass. Reclaiming our own authority is central to healing. • Why Embodiment Is a Form of Belonging: Our bodies are where connection, pleasure, grief, and joy live. Embodiment helps us reconnect not just with ourselves, but with others and the earth. • Healing Isn't a Return to “Before”—It's Becoming More Fully Ourselves: The work isn't to erase the pain, but to integrate it with love and become someone who can hold all of it with compassion. • Psychedelic Therapy as a Doorway to Wholeness (When Safe and Ethical): Hillary discusses the potential and limitations of psychedelics in trauma work—and why preparation and integration matter more than the substance alone. • Body Image Recovery and Spiritual Reclamation Go Hand in Hand: Healing the relationship with our bodies often requires rethinking harmful theology and cultural messages that disconnect us from pleasure and worthiness. • The Role of Community in Repair: No one heals in isolation. Being witnessed with gentleness in our messy middle is a key part of restoring trust.

When he and his wife moved into their quiet rural home, they thought they were finally getting peace—until something strange began mimicking him. From phantom coughing to ghostly phone rings, his wife heard—and saw—things that shouldn't have been possible. Then one night, they both saw the same shadowed man standing in their bedroom doorway. No face. Just the outline… and the hat Mike always wears. What does this presence want, and why does it keep copying him? In this chilling story, we explore a haunting that doesn't threaten—but won't let go either.

Muchas personas le consideran el mejor libro compilatorio de King; ya que casi todos los relatos han tenido una adaptación audiovisual; cinematográficas en algunos casos.Ahora bien, #ElUmbralDelaNoche fue el primer libro que estuvimos leyendo en #DulcesPesadillas, estos relatos fueron grabados mientras leíamos en vivo; ahora ha sido editado en modalidad de #Audiolibro.#SoyLaPuerta es un relato corto titulado originalmente "I am the Doorway" que King publicó en la revista #Cavalier en 1971, 7 años más tarde formó parte de esta compilación (El Umbral de la Noche). Este relato nos cuenta brevemente la vida de un exastronauta que ahora tiene que lidiar con unas raras protuberancias en sus manos.Espero que sea de su agrado y lo disfruten mucho.Colóquense unos audífonos o auriculares y disfruten de esta historia de Stephen King.

Title: The Doorway To MiraclesSpeaker: Pastor Paul NobelDate: 22nd June 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia In this warm, hope-filled episode, we discover how trials and suffering often pave the way for deeper faith and unexpected breakthroughs. Drawing on Hebrews 2 and 1 Peter, the speaker shows that, like Jesus, enduring hardship with grace prepares us to receive God’s glory and purpose. Through real-life stories—from biblical heroes to modern testimonies—we learn that adversity can soften our hearts, spark a moment of faith, and open us to the Holy Spirit’s “living water,” bringing renewal, healing, and joy. Key Takeaways: Suffering often precedes spiritual breakthrough and a closer walk with God. Jesus’ example teaches us to endure trials without retaliation and trust God’s plan. The Holy Spirit is our continual source of life, healing, and refreshing hope.

What do you do if you inherit a cedar waxwing named Bandit? Even more, he can't fly—something's wrong with his wing. You know nothing about birds, but suddenly you're responsible for this fragile life. You can't just Google “cedar waxwing care” and call it good. You have to live life on the terms of this yet-to-be-known creature, watching his face, learning that he's only happy when he can see yours, discovering that you've become his flock.This is the story Dr. Esther Lightcap Meek shared to illustrate her life's work: real knowing isn't about collecting information—it's about entering relationship.Dr. Meek is a philosopher who has spent her career asking one of the best questions: How do you know what you know? She's Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Geneva College and author of influential books including A Little Manual for Knowing and Doorway to Artistry.In our conversation, we explore how the modernist approach to knowledge—treating it as information to be collected—is actually killing our capacity to truly know anything. Esther argues for what she calls “covenant epistemology,” where we pledge ourselves to the yet-to-be-known and discover that reality itself is welcoming us first. When we realize that we love in order to know, everything changes about how we approach learning, creativity, and even our relationship with God.If you've ever felt disconnected from wonder, struggled with the limits of purely rational approaches to faith, or sensed that there's something more to knowing than accumulating facts, this conversation offers a different way forward. It's an opportunity to discover what Esther calls the “loving to know mindset”—and to realize that you've been doing it all your life.

When the winds of curiosity rustle the mind and stir the soul, they often bring with them storytellers—those rare beings who don't just recount events but breathe life into them. On today's episode, we welcome Joe Kowalski, a young filmmaker from Cleveland whose creative spirit dances between shadows and light, weaving stories through film, mystery, and innovation.Joe Kowalski is a filmmaker, game designer, and storyteller whose projects explore new ways to experience narrative across media.In this profound conversation, we journey through Joe's unique endeavor—a Stephen King “Dollar Baby” short film adaptation titled I Am the Doorway. What begins as a seemingly simple homage to the horror maestro evolves into a lesson in humility, time management, and artistic vision. Joe's choice of story, influenced by a girlfriend and the limitations of a shoestring budget, was no accident. It was a study in resourcefulness—making the most of what one has while honoring a source of immense creative power. “You have to know what you can realistically accomplish,” Joe said. And that, my friends, is wisdom beyond years.Joe didn't stop at simply retelling a tale. He reframed the horror classic into a new cinematic experience, wrapping Stephen King's suspense within a short film festival format. This wasn't about profit or prestige—it was about community, experimentation, and delivering value to the audience. His respect for the time and effort of collaborators is unwavering: “That's the biggest thing they can give you,” he mused. And in a world obsessed with the bottom line, such reverence is sacred.But his imagination doesn't remain tethered to the screen. Joe designed an interactive Instagram murder mystery game—an elegant rebellion against linear storytelling. Through a labyrinth of tags and grids, players navigate a digital whodunit, one clue at a time. Each piece of the game reveals not just a path to the culprit, but a deeper truth about human curiosity and our hunger for connection. It's a digital scavenger hunt of intention, ingenuity, and play. A new mythology told in swipes and likes.Lest one believe that his path has been frictionless, Joe admits to the chaos of low-budget production, the stress of festivals, and the heartbreak of seeing good work shelved for lack of fit. Still, he views each project as a sculptor views stone—not yet perfect, but perfecting. His year-long film PRISM is another feather in this vibrant cap—a color-coded exploration of identity and emotional entanglement told through color-isolated cinematography. Here is a man who does not merely shoot films; he paints them.Throughout the conversation, what resounds most is Joe's blend of youthful energy and ancient patience. He reveres the creative process, yet he's unafraid to let go when the time calls for it. Whether planning podcasts with friends or studying the rise of VR storytelling, Joe doesn't merely chase the next trend—he studies its rhythm, its heartbeat, and asks how it might elevate human experience. “You have to care about the story even when you don't feel like caring about it,” he says—and that is the quiet devotion of an artist in bloom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

What happens when doctors dismiss your symptoms for years, even as you're coughing up blood? For Amy, this medical gaslighting journey finally ended with a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension in March 2023, followed by immediate hospitalization and life-altering treatments.Amy's story isn't just about receiving difficult diagnoses – including a rare heart defect, genetic mutation, and eventually breast cancer. It's about her revolutionary decision to reject the limitations others tried to place on her life. When her doctor automatically assumed she would need to quit her beloved career as a hairstylist and apply for disability, Amy pushed back with a simple question: "Why?" This moment transformed her approach to healthcare forever.Throughout our conversation, Amy shares powerful insights about navigating the healthcare system as your own best advocate. "Your doctor is not your friend," she explains, encouraging listeners to approach medical appointments like interviews where you're assessing if this provider deserves to be on your healthcare team. Her practical suggestions – from asking doctors to document refusals in your chart to seeking second opinions without apology – provide a roadmap for anyone struggling to be heard.The emotional impact of chronic illness resonates deeply throughout our discussion.

In this episode of True Hauntings, we lock ourselves in with the lost, the violent, and the vengeful. They called it “The Closest Thing to Hell.” A name scrawled on a wooden sign by a chicken thief, but backed by nearly a century of darkness. The Old Licking County Jail in Ohio shut its doors in 1987 after 98 brutal years—but the inmates never left. Join Anne and Renata as they step inside a fortress of stone and steel where tormented souls still linger. From chilling EVPs and shadowy apparitions to the slamming of unseen cell doors and eerie chants echoing through the halls, this is more than just a haunted jail—it's a prison of the damned. With infamous inmates like the murderous Laura Devlin—who earned herself a new name after a crime too twisted to forget—this place doesn't just hold echoes of the past… it replays them. Thanks to Adelaide's Haunted Horizons for their immersive soundscape from Licking County Jail. Experience more of their work at: Haunted Horizons YouTube.

Let's be friends!Storytelling has the power to bridge divides in ways direct confrontation cannot. In this captivating conversation with author Corinne Cavanaugh, we explore how fiction creates safe spaces to navigate controversial topics and what it truly means to be an audacious woman.Corinne shares the genesis of her debut novel "An Audacious Woman," describing it as "a mashup between modern-day Bridgerton and Sex and the City." The book revolves around Eleanor Beaufort, a wealthy matriarch who feels trapped by her family legacy despite inheriting a $70 million mansion. Through Eleanor's journey, readers glimpse moments of boldness that inspire reflection on their own abandoned audacity—those times before the weight of adult responsibility settled in.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Corinne's personal transformation. With a Harvard master's degree and successful marketing career, she made the bold choice to pursue fiction writing. Her methodical approach—creating a 5-7 AM writing routine before work and learning from established authors—offers a blueprint for anyone wondering how to pursue their passions alongside existing commitments. Her advice? "Be bold faster. If you've got this inkling, this one idea you've been meaning to do, don't wait."Beyond literary pursuits, our discussion ventures into provocative territory as Corinne challenges the current culture of division. Drawing from her background studying democratization, she advocates for bringing difficult conversations back to the dinner table. "The public needs to be able to feel comfortable talking about these things," she explains, noting that her novel demonstrates how vulnerability and listening can lead to understanding.Whether you're contemplating a major life change, seeking permission to prioritize yourself, or simply wanting an engaging read, Corinne's insights will leave you contemplating what audacity might look like in your own life. After all, as she reminds us: "We've got one ride. Might as well go and chase them."https://corinnecavanaugh.com/home-corinne-cavanaugh/
What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

On this episode, we dig into a haunting from Woonsocket, Rhode Island—a city with a past steeped in the remnants of the American industrial age. A cramped family home becomes the epicenter of something deeply unsettling, divided between a playful spirit below and a sinister presence above. What begins with laughter in the basement slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, especially for the women who dare to stay the night. As we unravel the first-hand account of a man still living in that very house, we explore the psychological fractures caused by repeated encounters, and a lingering question that chills the core: What happened between the girl in the basement... and the man who won't stop staring from the doorway?

Avoiding Your Pain is Blocking Your Healing In this episode of The Energy to Heal, Laura Milliken dives deep into the connection between emotions, healing, and spirituality.

Laura also shares practical journaling prompts designed to help you steward your emotions with honesty and grace, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you through them instead of avoiding them.

When the winds of curiosity rustle the mind and stir the soul, they often bring with them storytellers—those rare beings who don't just recount events but breathe life into them. On today's episode, we welcome Joe Kowalski, a young filmmaker from Cleveland whose creative spirit dances between shadows and light, weaving stories through film, mystery, and innovation.Joe Kowalski is a filmmaker, game designer, and storyteller whose projects explore new ways to experience narrative across media.In this profound conversation, we journey through Joe's unique endeavor—a Stephen King “Dollar Baby” short film adaptation titled I Am the Doorway. What begins as a seemingly simple homage to the horror maestro evolves into a lesson in humility, time management, and artistic vision. Joe's choice of story, influenced by a girlfriend and the limitations of a shoestring budget, was no accident. It was a study in resourcefulness—making the most of what one has while honoring a source of immense creative power. “You have to know what you can realistically accomplish,” Joe said. And that, my friends, is wisdom beyond years.Joe didn't stop at simply retelling a tale. He reframed the horror classic into a new cinematic experience, wrapping Stephen King's suspense within a short film festival format. This wasn't about profit or prestige—it was about community, experimentation, and delivering value to the audience. His respect for the time and effort of collaborators is unwavering: “That's the biggest thing they can give you,” he mused. And in a world obsessed with the bottom line, such reverence is sacred.But his imagination doesn't remain tethered to the screen. Joe designed an interactive Instagram murder mystery game—an elegant rebellion against linear storytelling. Through a labyrinth of tags and grids, players navigate a digital whodunit, one clue at a time. Each piece of the game reveals not just a path to the culprit, but a deeper truth about human curiosity and our hunger for connection. It's a digital scavenger hunt of intention, ingenuity, and play. A new mythology told in swipes and likes.Lest one believe that his path has been frictionless, Joe admits to the chaos of low-budget production, the stress of festivals, and the heartbreak of seeing good work shelved for lack of fit. Still, he views each project as a sculptor views stone—not yet perfect, but perfecting. His year-long film PRISM is another feather in this vibrant cap—a color-coded exploration of identity and emotional entanglement told through color-isolated cinematography. Here is a man who does not merely shoot films; he paints them.Throughout the conversation, what resounds most is Joe's blend of youthful energy and ancient patience. He reveres the creative process, yet he's unafraid to let go when the time calls for it. Whether planning podcasts with friends or studying the rise of VR storytelling, Joe doesn't merely chase the next trend—he studies its rhythm, its heartbeat, and asks how it might elevate human experience. “You have to care about the story even when you don't feel like caring about it,” he says—and that is the quiet devotion of an artist in bloom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
