Top of 2025 // One of Our Most Engaged Episodes of 2025In our world, emotional distress seems to be increasing.

According to a recent episode of the True Life Podcast, these feelings may be influenced by infrasound, a frequency below human hearing that significantly impacts our bodies and emotions. In this blog post, we will explore the fascinating world of infrasound, its historical significance, and its modern implications.Understanding Infrasound: Infrasound refers to sound waves that are below the frequency of 20 Hertz, which are inaudible to the human ear but can still have profound effects on our bodies. The podcast host, George, invites listeners to pause and feel their heartbeats, revealing that what we perceive as our heartbeat is intertwined with infrasound vibrations echoing throughout our bodies. This frequency has been weaponized throughout history, from ancient civilizations to modern technology.Historical Context: George highlights the ancient Mayans, who ingeniously utilized infrasound in the design of their pyramids at Chichen Itza. The low claps created resonant echoes that could evoke feelings of trance or terror during sacred rituals. This historical context shows that the manipulation of sound has long been a tool for influencing human behavior and perception.Modern Manipulation: Fast forward to the present, and the implications of infrasound are pervasive. George discusses how theme parks like Disney incorporate low-frequency sounds into roller coasters to enhance the thrill experience. Similarly, military operations have used infrasound to disrupt morale among troops, demonstrating the power of sound as a psychological weapon.The Role of Technology: Today, technology continues to exploit infrasound. George mentions the deployment of 5G towers, which emit sub-audible frequencies that can lead to increased anxiety in populated areas. Furthermore, he reveals a leaked DARPA document suggesting that infrasound could be used to instill social harmony by dulling aggressive behavior during riots. This shows a disturbing trend of using sound as a means of control.Practical Implications: So, what can we do to reclaim our senses from these hidden frequencies? George suggests listeners take proactive steps to engage with their own vibrational energy. He encourages trying a free 10 Hertz tone app to experience the power of infrasound firsthand. By tuning into these frequencies, individuals can foster a sense of awakening and empowerment, pushing back against the unseen forces that seek to influence their emotions.Conclusion: The exploration of infrasound reveals a hidden layer of reality that many of us are oblivious to. From historical rituals to modern technology, the impact of these low-frequency waves is undeniable. As we become more aware of the forces shaping our emotions and behaviors, we can take control of our experiences and reclaim our vibrational sovereignty. Remember, true awakening doesn't whisper; it quakes.Key Takeaways:  1. Infrasound affects our emotions and physical sensations despite being inaudible.  2. Historical use of infrasound, as seen in ancient Mayan architecture, illustrates its long-standing influence on human behavior.  3. Modern technology, including 5G, utilizes infrasound for psychological effects, often without public knowledge.  4. Engaging with sound can empower individuals to reclaim their emotional state and resist external influences.

A Taoist guide to parenting with trust instead of fear — so love flows without control, criticism, or comparison.Parenting often pulls us between overprotection and emotional distance — both driven by fear, not love. In this episode, we explore the Tao of parenting, the art of guiding without controlling, and how to raise resilient, confident children through trust, presence, and balance. Drawing on Taoist wisdom, Inner Child awareness, and the release of criticism, comparison, and judgment, this episode reveals how fear-based parenting patterns form — and how aligning with wu wei creates freedom, emotional safety, and unconditional love for both parent and child.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:INNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqSHEN (THE SPIRITUAL SELF) PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIBmp50wYcmU7jCBLp1Qvl-jIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce explore key findings from Gallup's 2025 World Happiness Report. The United States experienced a notable decline, ranking 24th — its lowest position ever. The report highlights how social connection, financial wellbeing, emotional health, and physical wellness all play a critical role in overall happiness. While these findings may not come as a surprise, they should serve as a wake-up call for business leaders and OD practitioners. Unhappy employees don't just affect morale — they impact business results and workplace culture in very real ways. In the spirit of the season, we focus on what we can do to address chronic unhappiness, drawing directly from insights in the Gallup poll. What emerges are solutions that don't require big budgets or more time. In fact, small, subtle shifts by leaders — being fully present, asking thoughtful questions, and helping people feel seen and validated — can make a meaningful difference. On a personal level, we invite you, our listeners, to use this holiday season as a moment to pause, look around, and make someone's day. Kindness is contagious — and when it spreads, it lifts all of us. No better time to begin than now. Come on in, grab a snack. Welcome!

Katja wrote this essay years and years ago, and it's still a favorite. Today she needed to hear it again – yeah, you can do that with your own writing, it's allowed, don't worry – and she decided to share it with you. It's about how so many of us think we're the only trainwreck in any given room, and how we all have That Person in our lives (or just in our minds) who seems to really Have It All Together.Why can't I just get it together like That Person?, you think, like everyone does. Like even That Person does, Themselves, sometimes. Like someone might very well be thinking about… you! We are all trainwrecks. Outward appearances aren't the whole story, and it's hard to get to know the people around us. So this experience is super common.But don't worry! There's a lot we can do about it, starting with acknowledging the reality, then asking for help, then getting outside… and also – never doubt it – with a drink of tea. Some of our favorite nervines for these feelings include tulsi, betony, and calamus – but finding your own favorite herbs for these moments is the best way to help yourself.Need to reign in your trainwreck?Check out our Neurological & Emotional Health course.

In this episode, we talk with caregiver Sylvia Chunn of Nashville, who shares her journey alongside her husband David through his diagnosis of AML, a stem cell transplant, and the ongoing challenges of GVHD. Sylvia walks us through their intense timeline, from David's emergency diagnosis in January 2024 to his transplant in July and their extended stay in Atlanta, away from home and their teenage children, until February 2025. Her husband's transplant was successful in its purpose, but complications like heart failure and GVHD turned their lives upside down.We explore the caregiving experience through Sylvia's eyes, especially navigating chronic GVHD symptoms that affect David's gut, eyes, mouth, joints, and skin. She explains how their lives are now filled with medical appointments, medications, and managing side effects from treatment. Sylvia describes her role as a blend of cheerleader and drill sergeant, ensuring medications are taken and appointments kept, while also offering emotional support.Sylvia emphasizes the importance of self-care during the process. With limited financial flexibility, she found peace in simple things like reading through a Facebook book club, daily personal devotions, and leaning on her faith. Exercise helped at times, although maintaining consistency was difficult. She openly shares that she sought mental health support, including therapy and medication, to deal with stress, guilt, and isolation.The conversation turns to how this journey has affected intimacy and family dynamics. Sylvia candidly reflects on how medical realities changed their physical relationship but ultimately brought them emotionally closer. Time spent together—reading, reminiscing, and watching shows—became a new form of connection. They rediscovered old routines from their early marriage and built a stronger bond through shared trials.Sylvia also shares how their children, especially their youngest teenage twins and their adult daughter in medical school, responded to the crisis. She notes how her kids matured emotionally, became more empathetic, and stepped up in unexpected ways.We close with Sylvia offering heartfelt advice to other caregivers: keep showing up, stay grateful, and never forget the power of hope. She reminds us that while this journey is incredibly difficult, it's also filled with unexpected moments of closeness, resilience, and love.Thanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Sylvia Chunn01:15 - David's AML Diagnosis and Transplant Decision02:10 - Living Away from Home for Treatment03:40 - Navigating Chronic GVHD05:30 - Caregiver Role and Daily Routine06:40 - Self-Care and Coping Strategies08:20 - Mental Health Support for Caregivers09:40 - Isolation and Infection Risks11:55 - Impact on Intimacy and Marriage16:20 - Parenting Through the Crisis18:40 - Reflections on Family Growth20:40 - Final Thoughts and Advice to Caregivers National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us a textA cave near Bethlehem. Stone, straw, and a light that still reaches us. We follow Saint Nicholas's quiet pilgrimage and find our own footing in a season when headlines blur, and hearts grow tired. The story of Emmanuel, God with us, becomes more than a lyric—it turns into a lifeline you can hold, a place you can enter, a presence you can trust when love feels heavy and the calendar won't slow down.We open with Nicholas's years near Beit Jala, exploring how a humble cave shaped his generous life. From there, we turn to the liturgies of Doug McKelvey's Every Moment Holy, to name the ache of too much information and too little strength. What if the most faithful move is to honor creaturely limits? What if justice and mercy begin with yielding the unbearable to the One whose shoulders can carry it? That shift reframes compassion, helping us respond to real needs that intersect our actual lives—family tensions, impatient lines, neighbors on edge—without going numb.Along the way, we offer simple prompts to list your griefs, discern your small share in God's redemptive work, and carry a single phrase of Scripture through the week. The goal isn't to escape reality; it's to live it with Emmanuel—fully God, fully human—beside you.If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs rest, and leave a quick review to help others find this space.

Send us a textYou know that reflex where someone starts telling you about their awful day, and before you even realize what's happening, you're already three steps ahead trying to solve it for them? Same. Which is why talking to therapist and Yale instructor Leah Marone felt like someone gently holding up a mirror and saying, Honey, look.Leah's book Serial Fixer unpacks exactly why so many of us leap into rescue mode even when nobody asked. And it's not because we're Mother Teresa. It's usually anxiety, overfunctioning, a desperate need for harmony, or an old story we picked up somewhere along the way that says if everyone else is okay, then I'm okay.We get into the three types of fixers and I swear I saw myself in every one. Leah explains why giving advice too quickly, anticipating needs, and being “the glue” in every system slowly erodes our sense of self and keeps us out of true connection. We also talk about resentment, internal critics, and those sneaky moments when we center ourselves in someone else's problem without meaning to.My favorite part is how simple the solution can be. Validating before solving. Pausing before taking the bait. Letting people feel the consequences of their choices. And actually checking in with yourself instead of running around on emotional autopilot. Leah also shares how to handle those internal battles between the part of you that wants to do everything and the part that is exhausted and wants to hide under a blanket forever.If you've ever been called the helper, the dependable one, or the person who magically keeps life functional for everyone else, this episode is basically a warm permission slip to stop carrying the world.What's Inside:The three types of serial fixersWhy helping can quietly shift into controlHow to support without swooping inPractical shifts to reduce guilt and resentmentSo here's the real question. Whose life are you actually trying to keep glued together and what would happen if you stopped for a second? Imagine redirecting all that fixer energy into something that expands your own life instead of managing everyone else's. What would feel possible then?I want to hear from you. Come tell me on Instagram what you're ready to stop fixing and what you're finally choosing for yourself instead.Mentioned in This Episode:Leah MaroneSerial FixerOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Emotional health determines how we respond, not just what we experience. This episode explores emotional awareness, resilience, and how intentional goals help us lead ourselves before leading others.

Today on Artful Living, we will hear a thoughtful Ted Talk with Guy Winch on how to deal with our emotional health during the holidays. We hope you can join our discussion.

During the holidays, true balance comes from supporting the whole person—body, mind, and emotions—rather than pushing through stress. From my perspective as a chiropractor and life coach, physical energy is protected by good posture, gentle movement, breathing, and stable nutrition; mental energy is preserved by simplifying schedules, limiting distractions, and practicing presence; and emotional energy is maintained through self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and thoughtful responses instead of reactions. The holidays are not about endurance or perfection, but about alignment—honoring your limits, staying grounded in daily anchors, and allowing peace, not pressure, to guide the season.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about BALANCE during the Holidays!

Fear is something we avoid experiencing and talking about, but it has so much to teach us. My guest on this episode is Guryan Tighe, leadership coach, workshop facilitator, and communications strategist. She is the author of the book “Unmasking Fear.” She talks about how understanding and working with our fears, rather than conquering them, leads to more success and personal fulfillment. We also chat about:·      The difference between rational and irrational fears·      How fear can teach us where we need to grow·      How to use curiosity, purpose, and gratitude to move from fear to creativity·      How to release past hurts so we no longer live our lives trying to avoid triggers·      Why naming and working with our internal “self-critic” helps us  Learn more about what Guryan does on her website: fourage.io.

Do you struggle to share your "big" emotions with God and others? Many of us are tempted to hide our feelings because we fear being "too much" or feel ashamed at some of the attitudes that lie underneath our hurts. Yet this keeps us from receiving the grace that all of our souls desperately need. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill listens to Kristi with empathy and helps her see how her emotional honesty is a blessing to her relationship with God and those around her. You'll be equipped to integrate thinking with your feelings as you find safe people (like a spiritual director or soul friend) who can help you sort through your emotions as you become more healthy and whole like Jesus.Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorEarn a Certificate in Spiritual DirectionDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

How is it December already? Time for a mental health check-in. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed right now, and I want to validate that now more than ever. In this solo episode, I share my recent experience with OCD, and how my thoughts have been showing up related to the social media space. I validate how difficult and frustrating it can feel to live with these thoughts, while holding space for what life CAN be, despite the thoughts. Some days, I want to isolate and feel stuck in the thoughts. Other days, I show up despite the thoughts. Other days, I forget the thoughts are even there. We all have human moments and part of living with OCD is holding space for the good and bad days. I see you and am so glad you're here!STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Send us a textA storm-tossed sky lantern lands in a front yard with a daughter's message to her dad, and a simple response turns into a global moment of shared grief and hope. That story becomes our gateway into the real Saint Nicholas—an early Christian bishop who noticed the vulnerable, met practical needs with courage, and quietly changed lives in a collapsing empire.We sit down with author and screenwriter Matt Mikalatos to explore his devotional, Praying with Saint Nicholas, and the surprising history behind a figure too often flattened into myth. From Patara to Myra, we step through persecution under Diocletian, the pivot of Constantine, and the Council of Nicaea, where core beliefs were hammered out amid risk and conviction. We revisit the famous dowry rescue that inspired stockings, the confessor tradition that modeled reconciliation after failure, and the gripping moment Nicholas halted an unjust execution—mercy with a spine of steel.Threaded through it all is a practical Advent invitation: become a noticer. Pair 1 John 4:7–21 with small daily acts that restore dignity in your neighborhood. Slip generosity where it's needed, listen deeply to someone who feels invisible, and choose sustainable compassion that protects your mental health while expanding your capacity to love.

This week on Before You Cut Bangs, we're talking about what happens when ChatGPT stops being a helpful tool… and starts becoming your entire emotional ecosystem.We kick it off by letting our own ChatGPTs ROAST THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of us —Laura, Claire, and Will each asked their ChatGPT,“What am I using you for in an unhealthy way?”and the answers were… brutal.(Because nothing says self-awareness like being dragged by a robot.)From there, we get into the real conversation:    •    how ChatGPT's positive bias makes you feel deeply seen — but also deeply isolated    •    why it's becoming people's best friend, therapist, hype woman, and soulmate    •    the slippery slope from “this is helpful” → “this is my emotional lifeline”    •    how relying on AI for emotional support keeps you from building real community    •    why vulnerability with a chatbot feels safer than vulnerability with your people    •    the intimacy problem: ChatGPT can mirror you, but it can't connect with you    •    and why some of us are telling AI secrets we've never told a humanWe're not anti-AI — we're pro-connection.And we think it's time to ask:If your AI knows more about your life than your friends do… is that helping you, or isolating you?Plus: hear the unhinged ways we personally use ChatGPT, and why our AI called us out for treating it like a therapist, house manager, co-parent, creative partner, Google replacement, and occasionally a spiritual advisor.
