As Michael narrates his experiences, he takes us through the pivotal moments that led to his transformation. From dealing with the trauma of family secrets to facing his own demons through substance abuse, Michael's journey is one of grappling with self-hate and anger. He candidly discusses the turning point when he found himself in a locked mental hospital, which became a catalyst for change. It was there that he began to confront his past and the patterns that had defined his life. From this came a commitment to self care. From a mental health perspective, Michael found meditation which opened doors to self-reflection and inner peace. His dedication to this practice led him to profound realizations about his identity and purpose. Heshares how the act of sitting with oneself can lead to unimaginable growth and understanding. Michael's  journey from a past filled with shame and anger to a life characterized by love and self-acceptance serves as a reminder that change is possible, no matter how deep the scars may run. Tune in and discover how embracing vulnerability and seeking help can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.   Part Two of this episode is available for subscribers at     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Scotia Hille, Executive Director of Act on Mass. Scotia’s career began in climate policy, where she worked on national campaigns and later shifted her focus to improving government transparency in Massachusetts. With a background in science and policy, and a dedication to holding elected officials accountable, Scotia now leads advocacy efforts for legislative reform and open government, aiming to strengthen democracy in one of the nation’s least transparent state legislatures. Jennifer and Scotia dive into the urgent issue of transparency and accountability in the Massachusetts legislature, a topic that crosses party lines and draws advocates from across the political spectrum. The conversation uncovers how Massachusetts lacks fundamental nonpartisan research support for lawmakers, making it the only state in the country without this basic legislative office. Jennifer and Scotia expose the “mob-like” leadership structure, the culture of committee stipends for little or no work, and hidden budget earmarks that slipped past the public and lawmakers. They critique the lack of local news scrutiny, the persistence of backroom deals, and the enormous barriers facing reformers. The episode also sparks debate over term limits, full-time versus part-time legislatures, stagnation from entrenched leadership, and the role of citizen coalitions like the Coalition to Reform Our Legislature. The discussion reveals controversial comments about power hoarding, lack of individual lawmaker autonomy, and misuse of taxpayer dollars, urging listeners to demand more from their elected representatives. “It's very much run almost like a mafia, where leadership calls a lot of the shots.” ~Scotia Hille This week on Political Contessa: The origins and mission of Act on Mass and Coalition to Reform Our Legislature Massachusetts is the “least transparent” state legislature in the country The complete absence of a nonpartisan legislative research bureau in Massachusetts The power dynamics and control tactics used by legislative leadership Stipend reform and the existence of “ghost committees” that rarely meet The connection between committee assignments, added salary, and political loyalty Lack of individual roll call votes and the use of consolidated amendments to conceal spending Decline in local journalism and its impact on holding the legislature accountable Connect with Scotia Hille and Resources Mentioned: Act on Mass Website: https://actonmass.org Democracy in Decline Report (referenced research): https://report.actonmass.org Coalition to Reform Our Legislature (KROLL): https://reform-ma.org Twitter: @Act_on_Mass For more insights on statehouse transparency and reform in Massachusetts, follow Act on Mass and join the Coalition to Reform Our Legislature’s weekly meetings.

Message by Chris Brown on April 19, 2025. As we kick off our study of the book of Matthew, we have to admit that most Easter messages don't uncover the truth about just how dysfunctional Jesus' family really was. However, if that is where Matthew chose to start his story, then we may just find hope for our dysfunctional lives from page one as well. We welcome you to the "The Art of Surrender," and ironically hope that you find an incredible amount of freedom in that act as well.

LEADER GUIDE FOR MESSAGE 1: The Truth About Jesus' Dysfunctional Family

The consequences of David's sins against Bathsheba and Uriah begin quickly, just as the LORD had spoken. David's oldest son Amnon wickedly desires and violates his half-sister. When David takes no action, his third son Absalom waits patiently for the right time to take vengeance and assassinate Amnon. David's inaction continues for three years while Absalom stays away from Israel in exile. As one sin leads to another, the need for a greater Son of David is seen.  Rev. Sam Wirgau, pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ossian, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 13:1-39.  "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Welcome to the first episode of the Dysfunctional Family series, a special segment of The Healing Version podcast. In this episode, I open up with a personal truth: “I used to think I was born into the wrong family, but I've come to realize that God placed me exactly where I was needed—to be a light and start the hard conversations others are too afraid to have.” On this episode, we're diving into two major causes of family dysfunction: poor communication and lack of accountability. I'll talk about why so many families avoid honest conversations, and how fear, assumptions, and silence can create emotional distance and break trust. We'll look at the impact of things like blame-shifting, gaslighting, and refusing to take responsibility—and how these patterns often get passed down from one generation to the next. I'll also share some real-life examples of how these issues show up in everyday family life. Support the Podcast!

I was having lunch with a friend who is a retired venture capitalist and we drifted into a discussion of the startups she funded. We agreed that all her founding CEOs seemed to have the same set of personality traits – tenacious, passionate, relentless, resilient, agile, and comfortable operating in chaos. I said, “well for me you'd have to add coming from a dysfunctional family.” Her response was surprising, “Steve, almost all my CEO's came from very tough childhoods. It was one of the characteristics I specifically looked for. It's why all of you operated so well in the unpredictable environment that all startups face.”

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the journey of healing core wounds from growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family system, reflecting on a heartfelt conversation with my son as he steps into fatherhood. Through my own experiences, I explore how the pain and patterns of the past shape our beliefs, behaviors, and sense of safety, and how Soul Recovery, gratitude, and forgiveness have transformed my life and my family's healing. I share how breaking generational cycles of addiction, releasing blame and resentment, and embracing self-compassion have allowed me to find peace and acceptance. This episode is about choosing to see the past as a teacher, not a burden, and allowing gratitude to be the catalyst for forgiveness. To support you on your journey, I have also published a Guided Meditation on Gratitude and Forgiveness designed to help you release pain, embrace love, and cultivate deep healing to the Recover Your Soul podcast. You can use the meditation right after listening or as a standalone practice to reconnect with gratitude and forgiveness.Join Me for a Soul Recovery Experience in 2025!There is nothing more powerful than stepping into sacred space together—in person or virtually—to deepen your Soul Recovery journey.

“Naked Girl is a story of the enduring power of love in a family of lunatics,” says Janna Brooke Wallack of her debut novel, a poignant piece of literary fiction. Though not autobiographical, it reads like a memoir. Wallack's enduring voice and fresh vision evoke the storytelling of masterful novelists like Ann Patchett, Kristin Hannah, and Zadie Smith. Naked Girl is a captivating and moving story that explores the dysfunction of a family, the struggles of 'fitting in' and the power of hope, humor, and imperfect love. Growing up motherless in 1980's Miami Beach, Sienna and her little brother Siddhartha get by with their charismatic and capricious father, Jackson Jones. When a small windfall relocates them to a condemned mansion on the water, the siblings are forbidden traditional schooling and left to live off the land. As Jackson uses their new home to create a communal cult, the siblings are forced to raise themselves in a carefree, chaotic oasis. Living amidst the vagrant seekers who take up residence in Jackson's utopia, Sienna and Siddhartha strive to protect their unconventional family.Janna Brooke Wallack writes with warmth, compassion and comic brilliance in Naked Girl, an enthralling debut novel brimming with the adventure, resilience, humor and heartbreak of growing up on the fringe of decency and longing for the unattainable comfort of home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Your family and how you grew up have a major influence on how difficult it is for you to get sober, do the work, and resist relapse. A dysfunctional family influences our mindset, how many coping skills and resources we have, and how in tune we are with our emotions.
