What if the goal of life wasn't comfort, success, or even happiness – but meaning?In this episode of Common Denominator, I sit down with Sann McCandless, a life and career coach who helps people design lives rooted in courage, intention, and self-trust. We explore why fear isn't something to overcome but something to walk alongside, how imposter syndrome is actually a sign of growth, and why the most meaningful lives are built in chapters – not linear paths.Sanni shares how intentional living starts with honest self-check-ins, why confidence isn't about ability but self-acceptance, and how nature plays a powerful role in regulating our nervous system and reconnecting us to presence. We also dive into relationships with high performers, parenting, and what it really means to live with perspective when life feels short and precious.This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, burned out, or quietly craving a life that feels richer, braver, and more alive.In this episode you'll learn:- Why fear doesn't go away, and why that's okay- The real antidote to imposter syndrome- Why confidence is about self-acceptance, not competence- How nature restores presence and regulates the nervous system- The difference between comfort, meaning, and peak experiences- What courageous, intentional people truly have in common- How to live intentionally without being reckless or selfishIf you're questioning your path, your priorities, or what you actually want out of life — this episode will meet you right where you are.Like this episode?

Key Takeaways: Fleet Profitability Unleashed: The Optimal Dynamics Advantage In "Fleet Profitability Unleashed: The Optimal Dynamics Advantage", Joe Lynch and Zach Schuchart, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales at Optimal Dynamics, discuss how decades of academic research and advanced decision intelligence are being used to automate complex logistics and maximize carrier profitability. From Research to Reality: The Princeton Pedigree. Optimal Dynamics isn't just another tech startup; it is built on 40 years of academic research from Princeton University. This provides a level of scientific rigor and proprietary AI that differentiates their solutions from standard off-the-shelf logistics software. The Power of "Decision Intelligence". While many platforms focus on data visibility (showing you what is happening), Zach highlights the shift toward Decision Intelligence. This layer automates and optimizes the choice itself, helping carriers move from reactive management to proactive, data-driven execution. Bridging the Gap Between Planning and Execution. Leveraging Zach's 20+ years of experience at giants like UPS and XPO, the episode explores how traditional planning often fails when it hits the "real world." Optimal Dynamics focuses on creating dynamic plans that account for the inherent volatility in trucking operations. Leveraging High-Dimensional Artificial Intelligence. The core technology focuses on solving "high-dimensional" problems. Instead of looking at simple variables, the platform uses AI to process thousands of data points simultaneously—such as driver hours, fuel costs, and lane profitability—to find the "Optimal" solution. Automating the Complexities of Trucking. Automation isn't just about replacing manual tasks; it's about augmenting human capability. Zach discusses how their solutions allow sales and operations teams to evaluate complex scenarios in minutes rather than days, drastically reducing the "evaluation-to-action" cycle. Maximizing Profitability in Volatile Markets. In an industry with razor-thin margins, "Optimal Dynamics" means finding the most profitable way to move freight despite fluctuating market conditions. The platform helps fleets identify which loads to accept and how to route them to ensure maximum fleet utilization. Strategic Backing for Long-Term Transformation. The company's growth is fueled by marquee investors like Bessemer Venture Partners and Koch Disruptive Technologies. This level of backing underscores the industry's belief that Optimal Dynamics is a foundational player in the future of global logistics infrastructure.

Happy New Year, to all our kinky friends! Welcome to the first episode of The Weekly Hot Spot for 2026. We're kicking off the year with a topic close to both our hearts: using BDSM and power exchange as powerful tools for personal growth.We explore how the structure, control, and conscious practice inherent in Femdom dynamics create a unique framework for transformation. For example, have you ever considered how sissy training or cock control can build emotional resilience? Or how the communication skills honed in Distance Domination can revolutionize a submissive's life outside of play?We both share real-world stories from our phone sex sessions, revealing how submissives often experience profound growth in non-sexual areas. We discuss the concept of conscious power exchange and why setting intentions is often part of our leadership as sensual Mistresses. This episode is for anyone curious about how submission can be a form of self-mastery – a mental and emotional workout that builds strength, vulnerability, and profound self-awareness.We also flip the script and talk about how our submissives impact us. From creative collaboration to intellectual stimulation, the right dynamic doesn't drain our energy; it amplifies it. It's a true exchange. We even share a beautiful piece of wisdom from a submissive that perfectly captures the growth mindset we champion: "Don't kid yourself, but don't kick yourself."If you're ready to see your kink journey as a path to becoming a better, more intentional person, this episode is your guide. Power exchange dynamics offer a potent and practical framework for evolution, making this the perfect conversation to start your new year. OR, you couldn't just come for the kinky fun!

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Marta Bowles, Chief Communications Officer and Global Marketing Centers of Excellence at NielsenIQ. This conversation is all about NIQ's latest consumer habits and trends report published Sept 2025. We also cover what to expect in 2026.Follow Marta on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martabowles/Follow NielsenIQ on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nielseniq/posts/?feedView=allConsumer habits report download : https://nielseniq.com/global/en/insights/report/2024/mid-year-consumer-outlook-guide-to-2025/Here's what we asked her : Marta, let's start by understanding what these reports are, when did you release them and what data inputs went into them?Your report says 2026 will be defined by consumer caution—even among financially thriving households. Why do you think this cautious mindset is sticking around, and how should brands respond to this ‘insurance mentality' consumers seem to have?Two-thirds of consumers say brand trust is very important. In a world where ‘less is more,' how can brands earn and maintain that trust—especially when shoppers are cutting back and being more intentional with their purchases?AI is rewriting product discovery, but there's still distrust in AI-driven shopping. How do you see this tension playing out? Will consumers embrace AI as a shopping assistant, or will skepticism slow adoption?You talk about retail media networks and creator commerce as game-changers for visibility. How do you see the balance shifting between traditional retail strategies and these new digital-first approaches in 2026?Historically, shopping started with intent — increasing, platform like TikTok Shop show us that it now begins with inspiration. How is the consumer changing how they shop?Private label is no longer just a trade-down option—it's becoming a first choice. What's driving this shift, and how should national brands rethink their competitive playbook?Your report mentions anti-obesity medications, functional snacking, and commodity volatility as catalysts for change. Which of these trends do you think will have the biggest impact on CPG innovation in 2026—and why?We see a note on consumers to prioritize core expenses over many CPG items own 2026. What does this mean?Marta, with all the uncertainty and change consumers are navigating, what makes you most excited about 2026?

What are ProducerHead Loops?Gems from past conversations worth running back.Perfect for when you need a quick hit of inspiration.This Loop:In this ProducerHead Loop, Greg David breaks down his evolution from sample-based workflows to recording live drums, cutting his own one-shots, and building songs from the ground up. He explains why drums are almost always his starting point and how committing to recording his own kit every day reshaped both his sound and his relationship with music.Greg shares how giving up sampling “cold turkey” pushed him toward deeper listening, curiosity, and exploration. By making sounds himself, from drum breaks to synth programming, he discovered that you can't escape your own identity in the music. The result: faster decision-making, stronger instincts, and a sound that's unmistakably personal.This Loop is about reclaiming authorship in your process, trading convenience for intention, and rediscovering the joy that comes from truly making music.From Episode: 019.

As we age, the complexities of love and intimacy evolve, often leading to challenges that can impact our relationships. In this episode of “Sex Advice for Seniors,” I engaged in a candid conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Karen Stewart, exploring the intersection of mental health, retirement, and sexual relationships among older adults. One of the key themes we discussed was the profound effect of mental health on sexual relationships, particularly for men in later life. Dr. Stewart pointed out that many older adults experience a crisis of identity after retirement. For instance, men who have defined themselves by their careers may struggle with feelings of depression and aimlessness post-retirement. This shift can lead to challenges in intimacy, as depression can diminish sexual desire. Dr. Stewart emphasised that it's difficult to engage in a fulfilling sex life when one is battling feelings of inadequacy or sadness.Ageing is a complex journey that affects our relationships in profound ways. As Dr. Stewart highlighted, understanding the interplay between mental health, medication, and intimacy is vital for older adults. Open communication, empathy, and a willingness to explore new forms of intimacy can help partners navigate the challenges that arise as they age together. By fostering understanding and connection, couples can maintain vibrant, fulfilling relationships well into their later years.Unlock even more pleasure, clarity, and confidence in your intimate life by becoming a paid subscriber.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, host Natalie Born sits down with executive coach, former diplomat, and author Rene Sonneveld for a powerful conversation about leadership, innovation, and the unseen forces that shape both.Rene explores why innovation doesn't begin with strategy decks or brainstorm sessions—but with the courage to name what everyone feels and no one is saying. From family enterprises to executive teams, he explains how unspoken fears, emotional blind spots, and “elephants in the room” quietly block creativity and decision-making. This episode is a must-listen for leaders navigating complexity, legacy, and high-stakes conversations—at work and at home.[00:00 – 02:30] Innovation Begins Where Certainty EndsWhy innovation often emerges from confusion, fear, and discomfort—not clarity.Rene's global experience working with leaders and enterprise families.The link between emotional honesty and transformational leadership.[02:31 – 05:50] The Elephant in the Family RoomWhat leaders lose when they avoid naming the real issue.How trapped energy and unspoken tension collapse creativity.Why this dynamic shows up in families, boards, and executive teams alike.[05:51 – 09:40] Leaders Don't Have Decision Problems—They Have Emotion-Naming ProblemsHow fear hijacks the nervous system and shuts down innovation.Fight, flight, or freeze responses in leadership settings.Why regulation—not fearlessness—creates better decisions.[09:41 – 13:30] “Flipping the Lid” and the Amygdala HijackHow psychological threats trigger reactive leadership behavior.Why leaders say “the wrong thing” under pressure.The importance of pausing, breathing, and naming emotions to restore clarity.[13:31 – 16:40] Naming Fear as the Gateway to BreakthroughWhy innovation cannot thrive in environments of fear or walking on eggshells.How truth-telling frees energy and reactivates creativity.A real-world example of long-stuck family dynamics unlocking new possibilities.[16:41 – 19:20] Authenticity, Messiness, and Modern LeadershipWhy authenticity is becoming increasingly rare.The cost of performative leadership—especially in the age of social media.Why innovation flourishes when leaders allow complexity and humanity.[19:21 – 22:50] Stories, Identity, and the Lids We Put on OurselvesHow internal narratives limit leadership capacity.Why the lies we believe quietly cap innovation.Reframing leadership as presence, not perfection.[22:51 – 25:10] Ecosystems That Support InnovationWhy environment matters—at work and at home.The connection between place, pace, and creative capacity.Designing a life and leadership context that allows innovation to breathe.[25:11 – 27:40] Final Reflections: Innovation as a PracticeWhy innovation is not a performance—but a daily practice.Rene's parting message on courage, imagination, and trust.How naming truth transforms fear into possibility.Quotes“Innovation doesn't start with what we put on paper. It starts with naming the things we are most afraid to say.” – Rene Sonneveld“Most leaders don't have decision-making problems—they have emotion-naming problems.” – Rene Sonneveld“Naming isn't confrontation. Naming is liberation.” – Rene SonneveldGuest LinksWebsite: https://www.renesonneveld.com/Book: The Elephant in the Family Room – Managing the Complexities of Legacy BusinessIf this conversation sparked something in you, trust that spark—because innovation starts there.Leave a review and share this episode with a leader who needs the courage to name what's been left unsaid.

In this episode, we explore the growing tension between loyalty and logical consistency in today's celebrity-obsessed culture. With social media magnifying every action of public figures, people are quick to defend, condemn, and emotionally invest. But in the rush to take sides, how often do we actually question the logic behind our loyalties?"You can't be loyal to someone who is wrong just because of who they are."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-realist-the-visionary--3304218/support.Check out our website:https://www.therealistthevisionary.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-realist-the-visionary--3304218/support.Follow us on IGFollow Us on TikTok

In Teen Wolf 3×22, “De-Void,” the pack is still trying to keep Stiles alive while the Oni keep dropping in like it's a scheduled appointment. Sheriff Stilinski shows up at the loft hoping to save his son, and Void Stiles responds by calmly pressing every single Dad Trauma button he can reach.Meanwhile, Noshiko confirms what we've all been dreading: the Nogitsune isn't just haunting Stiles — it's multiplying the problem. Void Stiles pulls the last tail and unleashes a swarm of flies that spreads across Beacon Hills, possessing basically anyone who stands still for too long.Isaac wakes up and chooses violence, Derek gets infected through an open wound (no thank you), and the situation devolves into “who is possessed right now” chaos at both the Argents' apartment and the school. Allison and Kira go full weapons-mode, because girls' night in Beacon Hills is always a combat scenario.Back at the McCall house, Deaton breaks out the kanima venom like it's just another Tuesday, and Scott and Lydia go into Stiles's mind to find the real him — where Stiles is playing Go with the Nogitsune on the Nemeton. Scott howls, Stiles looks up, and the board flips.For a second, it works.And then Teen Wolf reminds us it's Teen Wolf: Stiles is back, but the Nogitsune slips out anyway and takes Lydia with it.If the evil can leave, what else can it take?xoxoFotR

Are homoerotic friendships a canon queer experience?
Three bangs. Wood splintering. A three-year-old whispering, “Dad, someone's at the door.” That's the moment everything changes for Alex, a detention officer who thought he understood danger until it crossed his threshold at 10:15 a.m. Two recently released inmates, a pregnant wife, a boxed duty pistol just out of reach, and a living room turned battlefield. What follows is a raw, step-by-step account of survival, the click of a misfire, and the long tail of fear that lingers in a child's bedtime questions.To watch this episode, click here: https://youtu.be/npcojaSZ4GwWe pull back the curtain on the world Alex knows best: county jails. He explains why jails can feel more combustible than prisons, how gangs recruit with small favors, and why protective custody isn't just for “chomos” but for dropouts, snitches, and high-profile cases. You'll hear how COVID quarantines frayed minds in days, how respect beats bravado on the tiers, and how a soup can turn into a debt you pay with your fists. We get specific about contraband pipelines—from legal paperwork and compromised staff to “amenities” turned weapons—and the strange calculus of taxpayer-funded tablets that doubled as clubs and shanks.This is a story about systems and choices—the design of custody, the incentives that drive behavior inside, and the vigilance required outside. If you care about criminal justice, officer safety, home defense, or how small policy decisions ripple into the real world, you'll find hard truths and practical takeaways here.

Episode: Sasha Berliner at SFJAZZ — Recontextualizing the VibraphoneIn this episode, we welcome San Francisco native Sasha Berliner, a vibraphonist, composer, and producer whose work serves as a spectral map of contemporary music. Berliner has emerged as a primary voice in the New York scene by deconstructing the traditional boundaries of her instrument, blending a rigorous jazz foundation with the kinetic, "genre-blurring" spirit of the Bay Area.We discuss her journey from rock drumming in Oakland to studying harmony with Stefon Harris, and her current trajectory toward a new "electric" aesthetic inspired by the fusion giants of the 1970s.Bay Area Foundations: Berliner attributes her experimental spirit to growing up within the artistic landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area and her formative years at the Oakland School for the Arts.A Diverse Sonic Upbringing: Her musical identity remains rooted in an eclectic mix of rock, alternative music, and hip-hop. She notes that her father's history in the local punk scene, specifically his work with the band Alice Donut, significantly influenced her approach.The Influence of Stefon Harris: Moving to New York to study with Harris was a pivotal shift. She utilizes his system of relating harmony to specific emotions as a cornerstone of her compositional process, allowing her music to "speak" without the need for lyrics.Recontextualizing the Vibraphone: Berliner actively works to move beyond "antiquated" associations of the vibraphone, creating a sound that reflects modern textures rather than solely adhering to mid-century jazz archetypes.The Electric Evolution: Her upcoming project, slated for late 2026, focuses on an all-electric ensemble featuring synths and electric bass. This direction draws inspiration from groups like Weather Report and The Headhunters, as well as modern innovators like Chris Potter's Circuits Trio.The Dynamics of Leadership: She reflects on the transition from a versatile side player for luminaries like Christian McBride to a bandleader responsible for the logistical and sonic architecture of her own projects.Musical Tracks Featured"Jade" (from the album Onyx): A track Berliner identifies as the "closest relative" to her developing electric project."Zenith" (from the album Fantôme): A piece featuring a distinctive horn arrangement inspired by the collective energy of Stefon Harris's 90 Miles album.Sasha Berliner returns home this week for a double bill with vocalist Michael Mayo at SFJAZZ.The Ensemble: Berliner will lead a quintet featuring Myles Martin (drums), Julio Xavier Chetto (bass), Javier Santiago (piano/keys), and Tristan Cappel (sax/flute).Date: Saturday, December 27, 2025.Time: 7:30 PM.Venue: Miner Auditorium, San Francisco.Tickets: Available at SFJAZZ.org.Keeping Jazz Alive in the 415.

Welcome to episode #1015 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when scarcity shapes everything from opportunity to attention, understanding who gets what (and why) has become one of the most consequential questions in modern life. Judd Kessler is the inaugural Howard Marks Endowed Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an award-winning economist, and one of the leading thinkers in market design, public policy and behavioral economics. His research examines how rules, incentives, and institutional structures shape outcomes in environments where price alone cannot (or should not) decide allocation, from organ donation systems to education, labor markets, and beyond. Recognized early for his impact, Judd was named one of Forbes' "30 Under 30" in Law and Policy for his work on organ allocation and received the Vernon L. Smith Ascending Scholar Prize in 2021. His first (and new) book, Lucky by Design - The Hidden Economics You Need to Get More of What You Want, distills years of research into how "hidden markets" - those governed by rules rather than prices - quietly determine access to jobs, schools, tickets, healthcare, and even relationships. Judd explores the mechanics of scarcity, the strategic role of lotteries, waiting lists, and signaling, and how individuals unknowingly participate in market design every day. He also examines how AI is beginning to reshape allocation systems, why visible markets increasingly contain hidden layers, and how better design can improve both efficiency and equity. Grounded in rigorous scholarship yet deeply practical, Judd's work reframes luck not as randomness, but as something shaped by systems we can understand and sometimes redesign.

2025 is quickly coming to a close and what an honor it was to sit down for an intimate conversation with Carl Broemel in his hometown of Nashville for the 300th episode of Roadcase!! Carl is best known for his work in My Morning Jacket, and has released a series of notable solo projects over the past several decades. His upcoming album, Celestun, set for release on January 15, marks a continuation of his work with longtime collaborator Tyler Ramsey, formerly of Band of Horses. In this landmark year, My Morning Jacket released both a new album, “IS,” and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the album “Z” in a year-long celebration of spectacular live performances.Carl talked to me about how he sees the current state of the band, and he discusses with me exactly how he goes about continuing to feel refreshed and energized in this ever-changing musical landscape.

An mass shooting event occurred yesterday at Bondi Beach in Australia, by a father-and-son killing team. As usual, the event has led to a tsunami of poorly-reasoned opinionating on social media—and most of that I'll leave to the dummies to wrestle with.In THIS show we'll focus on the LEGAL DYNAMICS of defense against this kind of mass attack. What is legally permissible, and why? How is this legal different from a more traditional deadly-force self-defense scenario, and what additional tactical options does it make lawful that otherwise might be criminal? And MORE!All of this will, of course, be from the legal perspective of AMERICAN use-of-force law, as if the event had tragically occurred in the United States rather than Australia.

These aren't fringe ideas or speculative theories. We're talking about the foundational experiments that shaped modern physics: Michelson–Morley, the Sagnac effect, Airy's findings, and the behavior of light in different media. Bennett explains why these results never actually aligned with the narrative textbooks insist on, and how later interpretations were engineered to keep the model intact.We explore the deeper tension underneath the science: the commitment to a worldview that insists humanity cannot occupy a privileged position in the cosmos. Bennett argues that the Copernican principle functions less like an inference and more like a dogma — and when experimental results contradict it, the results get reframed, ignored, or buried. His critique isn't emotional or conspiratorial; it's a sober, technical walk through data that refuses to fit the prevailing cosmology.From aether theories to Newton's bucket to the “axis of evil” in the cosmic microwave background, this conversation opens a door into questions most of us never realized were on the table. Whether you agree, disagree, or simply want to think more critically about the experiments behind modern physics, this is a discussion worth sitting with.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:11:41] The moment that sparked questioning the very foundations of relativity[00:13:53] What the Michelson Morley experiment actually showed, and how it was misinterpreted and used to reify relativity[00:25:59] The experiments beyond Michelson-Morley that prove aether exists and Earth doesn't rotate[00:34:31] Newton's bucket, inertial frames, and Mach's competing explanation[00:46:15] Why the cosmic microwave background's "axis of evil" points directly to Earth[00:53:28] Why Airy's "failure" was actually a success in falsifying heliocentrism[01:04:11] The nuanced difference between geocentrism and geostatism, and why neither requires a flat Earth[01:21:57] Why GPS had to be engineered around relativity, not built on it[01:33:13] What is aether and what is the alpha model?[01:37:07] What Hildegard of Bingen's medieval vision reveals about Earth's central role in creation[02:01:30] The profound connection between aether, consciousness, and the nature of God[02:11:26] When coincidences become evidence of something beyond the physical[02:14:09] Long-buried artifacts and texts are emerging at this critical moment in historyResources Mentioned:Galileo Was Wrong by Robert Bennett and Robert Sungenis | BookVixra Monographs | WebsiteThe True Conception of the World according to Hildegard von Bingen | BookAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark Gober | Book or AudiobookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.

Widely celebrated for her abstract works in painting, sculpture, and sound art that, in many instances, incorporate architecture or space—through which she often elevates undersung or little-known Black artists and musicians—her practice is largely informed by minimalism and color field painting, as well as by jazz and avant-garde music. Jones currently has two exhibitions on view at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis (through Feb. 1, 2026): “A Line When Broken Begins Again,” which features a selection of new and existing paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and sound pieces, and “Other Octaves,” a group show she curated of works by artists who have been formative to her practice. She was also commissioned to create the 2025 rooftop installation at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.On this episode of Time Sensitive, she discusses what listening as a conceptual practice looks like in action, the art of putting together a playlist, and her deep love of things tactile and analog.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [04:35] “Jennie C.

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I speak with Sarma Melngailis, author of The Girl with the Duck Tattoo and the central figure in the documentary Bad Vegan. Sarma shares her lived experience of sustained psychological coercion, how it felt to be worn down and re-anchored in someone else's reality, and what the recovery process looks like after a relationship that functioned much like a one-on-one cult.What we coverHow coercive control can operate like psychological warfare and the tactics that make it feel impossible to leave.Why intelligent, accomplished people can become victims: the slow wearing down, mirroring, and exploitation of hopes and vulnerabilities.The parallels between cult dynamics and one-on-one coercive relationships—why isolation and repeated micro-assaults change perception and decision-making.The aftermath: public shame, misrepresentation in media, and the ongoing work of reclaiming agency, safety, and reputation.Practical reflections for survivors and protective parents: how to notice red flags early, the power of sitting with your intuition, and how healing helps rebuild boundaries and clarity.Why listen Sarma's story illustrates that coercive control is not about intelligence or credentials — it's about a strategic, multifaceted assault on agency and reality. Whether you are a survivor, a caregiver, a clinician, or someone trying to understand how otherwise kind and competent people get trapped, this episode names the mechanisms, normalizes survivors' reactions, and offers concrete ideas for protection and recovery.Guest bio (short) Sarma Melngailis is the author of The Girl with the Duck Tattoo and the subject of the documentary Bad Vegan. She writes and speaks about her experience of coercive control and its aftermath, helping others recognize the subtle, insidious tactics used by predatory partners.Connect with Sarma Melngailis:Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sarmamelngailisIG: https://www.instagram.com/sarmamelngailisLinktree: https://linktr.ee/sarmamelngailis?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=5c0c0b7d-0fd4-4700-b1ff-86848db49061Books: https://l1nk.dev/Sarma-Melngailis-BooksConnect with Dr. Christine:Protective Parenting Program: https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/services/for-parents/Official site: https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrCocchiola-coercivecontrol/videosTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.c_coercivecontrolIG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.cocchiola_coercivecontrol/TEDxTalks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp2qByKOue4&t=24sBooks: https://url-shortener.me/c/FramedBookhttps://url-shortener.me/c/EveryMomentOfEveryDayIf this episode landed for you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, subscribe for more trauma-informed conversations, and consider leaving a review — it helps other survivors find validation and safety.— Dr. Christine Cocchiola & guest Sarma Melngailis
