In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we're sitting down with Paul Cooke—a writer, academic, and former cult member who spent nine years in the Children of God, a group he later recognized as dangerously manipulative and deceptive. After a 40-year journey of reflection, healing, and writing, Paul recently completed a memoir about his experience and now shares his story to help others recognize how easily any of us can be misled under the right conditions. This conversation isn't just about cults—it's about clarity, courage, and reclaiming trust in your own discernment. Whether it's a relationship, belief system, organization, or opportunity that turns out to be something different than you thought, Paul's story offers timeless, hard-won lessons that can help you avoid the emotional toll of misplaced trust.   IN THIS EPISODE: The subtle tactics that made a well-intentioned young man give up everything to join a cult How even smart, faith-driven people can get misled, and how to spot the red flags of deception and control to protect yourself The emotional toll of breaking free from a high-control group or relationship and how to start healing Why "trust but verify" is critical in making sound judgements What NOT to do when someone you love gets caught up in something destructive How manipulation works in everyday life (not just cults) and how to protect your confidence and clarity How real love, community, and grace helped Paul reclaim his freedom and confidence   A FEW GOLDEN NUGGETS; Don't assume you're above being manipulated: Anyone can be vulnerable to deception and manipulation, especially during times of pain, transition, or isolation. Stay vigilant, ask questions, and seek trusted counsel before making major commitments. Distance can create space for clarity: Sometimes the best thing you can do is step back. Time away from group ideologies, influence, or pressure can restore your confidence in your own resoning and values. Manipulators isolate to control: Be mindful of any person or ideology that encourages you to cut off communication with trusted friends, family, or diverse viewpoints. Isolation often precedes control.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Learn more about Paul, his memoir, devotionals, and stories at: www.pauldavidcooke.com Read a chapter from Paul's memoir and learn more about how cults operate at: www.makingsenseofcults.com  ------------------------------------------------------------------- For our latest insights and things we don't share with the public, become a Sione and Alana Insider.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores the idea that our emotions are not just reactions to what happens around us, but are conscious and intentional choices we have control over. If we don't consciously choose how to feel, we leave it to chance and find ourselves at the whim of spiralling emotions. Cindy proposes steering away from fear as our default and instead setting intentions for our emotions to learn how to anticipate best-case scenarios instead of worst-case ones. Instead of our emotions being at the mercy of our surroundings, we can instruct ourselves on how to feel. We believe that choosing how we feel means ignoring real problems and pretending everything is fine. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Cindy is clear that choosing our emotions is not about fake positivity or just gritting our teeth through the bad times, it's about claiming ownership over our internal experience. So, how do we do that? By intentionally choosing what we want to feel and setting an emotional anchor for whatever situation arises. Cindy shares four practical strategies to help us take control of our emotions: 1) Start each day by consciously choosing how we want to feel, 2) Reframe fear and criticism immediately, 3) Counter every worst-case scenario with a best-case, and 4) Use intentional compartmentalization. By deciding how we'll feel, we learn to avoid our brain's default setting of predicting danger. Choosing how to feel is a power move, not wishful thinking. Cindy's advice gives us the groundwork we need to start taking control of our emotions.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Not Leaving It To ChanceAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

In this episode, I sit down with Derek Lakin, a mindfulness teacher and Awareness Guide whose journey from deep depression to emotional resilience is nothing short of powerful. Derek opens up about the moment he nearly ended his life, and how a last-minute suggestion from his therapist led him to try ketamine therapy. But what truly transformed his life wasn't just the treatment—it was the years of mindfulness practice that allowed him to receive its lessons, integrate emotional tools, and slowly rebuild a sense of self-worth, presence, and purpose. We explore what it really means to meet yourself where you are, especially when anxiety, shame, or disconnection make that feel nearly impossible. Derek shares how practical mindfulness practices helped him stay grounded, begin to trust life again, and ultimately teach others to do the same. If you've ever struggled to just “be” with your emotions, or you're looking for tools that go deeper than surface-level advice, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and a way forward. Three Key Takeaways 1.      The most powerful shifts often start with one uncomfortable moment of stillness. 2.      Healing isn't about striving—it's about learning to listen differently to what's already inside you. 3.      There are tools that can help you feel grounded, even when life feels completely untethered.   The moment we stop trying to escape discomfort  is the moment  we start accessing  real power.     To contact Derek:  https://www.mindfulnesschangeslives.com/     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

This is what a real Sovereign Session looks like. In this raw and revolutionary episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Barb Moylan—fitness pro, gut health coach, and now cancer survivor—who made the radical decision to say no to chemo and yes to full-body sovereignty. After being diagnosed with an aggressive, spreadable form of breast cancer, Barb rejected fear and the mainstream medical model. Instead, she dove deep into holistic healing—using DNA testing, advanced detox, mitochondrial support, and mindset work to shrink her tumor by nearly 2 centimeters before surgery. Today, she's cancer-free. But this episode isn't just about healing—it's about leadership. Barb took her journey and turned it into impact, joining the Awake & Winning Business Academy to launch her coaching business and help others reclaim their health and power. She's proof that when you choose sovereignty, you don't just survive—you rise and serve. If you're ready to stop outsourcing your power and start building a life of true freedom, this one's for you.   Episode Highlights: healing cancer naturally, chemo alternatives, gut health, methylation genes, hormone imbalance, building sovereignty, mindset shifts, holistic health, breast cancer recovery, root cause medicine, building an online business, red vs. gold pill       Takeaways: Barb's shocking diagnosis despite living a clean, healthy life Why she said “no” to chemo and what she did instead The four root causes of her cancer uncovered through testing The flaws in standard care and “one-size-fits-all” oncology How she shrunk her tumor by nearly 2 cm in 9 weeks What it really takes to stay cancer-free long term How she's turning her journey into a sovereign business     DISCLAIMER: The content of this episode is intended for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

What if your inner chaos is sacred? When I first pictured a yogi, I imagined someone always calm, serene… maybe even a little untouchable. But the more I've learned—through somatics, spirituality, and lived experience—the more I believe that true healing means feeling everything. Even rage. In this episode, we dive deep into:

Ever wonder how you'll ever stop people-pleasing and say yes to yourself instead? This episode is for you! Set small boundaries first. Start with low-stakes situations to practice saying no or expressing your preferences. For example, choosing the restaurant when asked, or declining a small favor when you're genuinely busy. These smaller moments build your confidence for bigger boundary-setting situations.Pause before automatically agreeing. When someone asks something of you, try responding with "Let me check my schedule and get back to you" or "I need to think about that." This brief delay gives you space to consider what you actually want to do rather than reflexively saying yes to avoid disappointing someone.Remember that disappointment isn't dangerous. People-pleasers often fear others' negative reactions, but someone being temporarily disappointed or mildly upset doesn't mean you've done something wrong or that the relationship is in jeopardy. Most healthy relationships can handle occasional "no" responses, and those that can't may need reevaluation.Notice your internal warning signs. Pay attention to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, or anxiety that often accompany over-committing. These emotions are signals that you're stretching yourself too thin to accommodate others. When you catch these feelings early, you can course-correct before burning out.Practice stating your needs directly. Instead of hinting or hoping others will guess what you want, try expressing yourself clearly. Say "I'd prefer to meet at 2 PM" rather than "Whatever time works for you is fine." Direct communication often leads to better outcomes and reduces the mental energy spent on trying to read between the lines.The key is building these skills gradually. People-pleasing patterns developed over time, so changing them takes patience and consistent practice. Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator? Take The Confidence Cocktail Assessment: https://karenlaos.com/confidence-cocktail-fb/Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.lpages.co/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Christine Roslund—an experienced coach, therapist, and EMDR practitioner. We explore how Christine blends years of EMDR therapy with life coaching to help her clients clear deep blocks and reconnect with their true selves. Christine shares insights on what real healing can look like, why getting unstuck doesn't have to mean reliving old pain, and how she helps people move forward with clarity and purpose. This one's for anyone who feels like they've been spinning their wheels and wants to understand what's really in the way. Three Takeaways: 1.      You don't always have to talk something to death to heal it. 2.      Feeling stuck is often a sign that something deeper wants attention. 3.      The right support can help you move through what's hard—without carrying it forever.   Getting unstuck isn't  about trying harder -  It's about finding what's really in the way. -Christine Roslund     To contact Christine: https://beingtrue2you.substack.com/     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I'm joined by a brilliant coach and nervous system educator Sarah Hall, whose compassionate approach to stress and productivity has helped so many women feel more calm, clear, and in control. I am proud to say she is also a former client of mine and so delighted to share her wisdom with you!  In this episode Sarah shares some of her favorite takeaways from our private life coaching together. And we talk about the transformative power of life coaching, particularly in managing stress and integrating personal and professional lives.  Sarah introduces the concept of an intentional stress mindset—a way of working with your nervous system, instead of against it. We explore how our stress responses are often shaped by patterns we don't even realize we're in, and how simple shifts in awareness and preparation can dramatically change our experience. You'll hear us talk about the three core nervous system states—mobilized, shut down, and safe—and how to recognize which one you're in. Sarah also shares how to access what she calls “glimmers,” or moments of calm and connection that help support your body and mind even in high-pressure seasons. This conversation is full of insight, but also deeply grounding. It offers a new lens for understanding your stress—not as something to avoid, but something to understand, and eventually, support. Listen in to learn more about: The three nervous system states: safety, mobilization, and shutdown Four intentional stress mindsets and how they reframe your relationship with pressure How preparation supports your nervous system before overwhelm sets in What “glimmers” are and how to identify them in everyday life Why regulating stress starts with tuning in, not powering through The difference between avoiding stress and integrating it Highlights -   00:00 Introduction to Life Coaching and Stress Management 02:01 Integration of Personal and Professional Life 06:50 The Power of Guided Meditations 10:41 Building Confidence and Following Nudges 12:41 Navigating Life's Challenges 18:36 The Importance of Resilience 22:52 Exploring Time Hacking and Productivity 23:51 Understanding the Role of the Mind in Time Management 34:15 Recognizing Gains in Relationships 35:12 Intentional Stress Mindset 36:12 Understanding Stress Cycles 38:35 Mindset for Managing Stress 40:46 Normalizing Dysregulation 42:19 Identifying Nervous System States 47:19 Supporting and Regulating Yourself 49:56 Proactive Nervous System Support 54:09 Glimmers and Micro Moments 57:42 Following Your Nudges

The stories we tell ourselves shape the way we experience life—but are they actually true? In this insightful episode, we explore how to gently question the narratives running through our minds by asking: What's the evidence? and How does this story make me feel?

Hey everyone! In episode 208. Real Life Questions and Comments, I'm diving deep into two important topics that have been on my heart - mission preparation and understanding missionary emotions. First, I want to address a comment I saw about going on splits being the ultimate mission prep. While that can be helpful, it's not enough. The mission is a whole different ball game, and you need to be emotionally and mentally prepared for the real pressures and challenges you'll face. I also tackle a crucial issue about anxiety on the mission. So many missionaries are told their anxiety stems from disobedience, and that breaks my heart. The truth is, anxiety is a normal, physiological response to a new, high-pressure environment. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do - protect you. It's not a spiritual failing or a sign that you're doing something wrong. What matters is how you support yourself through these challenging emotions and learn to be compassionate with yourself. My big takeaway? Missionaries need more than just going through the motions. You need tools to manage your mind, feel your feelings, and support yourself through the incredible journey of serving a mission. Remember, there's nothing wrong with you for feeling anxious or overwhelmed. You're human, and that's beautiful. Keep showing up, keep being kind to yourself, and trust that you have everything you need to navigate this amazing experience. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

In this episode of "Rise Up, Live Joy Your Way," certified life and wellness coach Kamini Wood delves into "The Art of Letting Go," highlighting it as a crucial skill for emotional resilience rather than an act of giving up. She shares personal experiences of battling the need for control and the anxiety it generated, illustrating how a tight grip often leads to overwhelm. Using the metaphor of learning to drive, Kamini explains that loosening our grip can paradoxically lead to more control and better outcomes. The episode explores the underlying fears—uncertainty, pain, disappointment, and loss—that make letting go difficult, and offers practical strategies such as visualization and journaling to build this "muscle". Kamini clarifies that letting go doesn't mean resignation, but rather choosing to acknowledge what we can control—our responses and perspectives—thereby reducing anxiety and creating inner peace. Ultimately, she emphasizes that resilience stems from accepting that not all outcomes are ours to dictate, but our response always is, leading to freedom.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Your symptoms aren't random—they're messages from your biology. In this paradigm-shifting episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with Dr. Melissa Sell, a chiropractor and leading educator in German New Medicine (GNM), for a heated, eye-opening conversation that pushes the boundaries of mainstream health beliefs. Dr. Sell lays out the five biological laws of GNM, arguing that symptoms are not malfunctions—but intelligent adaptations to unresolved emotional conflict. But Kaylor doesn't just nod along. He brings the heat with real-life examples—chronic strep throat, STD transmission, diet-related illness—and challenges Dr. Sell to defend the model. From questioning germ theory to confronting the idea that illness is purely internal, Kaylor asks the questions skeptics are thinking while remaining genuinely open to a new way of understanding the body. This episode delivers critical thinking, respectful debate, and a major perspective shift on what it really means to be “sick.” Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about healing.     Episode Highlights: German New Medicine, conflict shocks, strep throat, STDs, psyche and illness, brain-body connection, chronic illness, healing trauma, alternative health, germ theory debunked, mind-body medicine, Dr. Melissa Sell       Takeaways:   Symptoms are biological adaptations to conflict shocks The psyche-brain-organ connection determines how illness manifests Most chronic issues stem from unresolved emotional experiences Germ theory doesn't account for personal perception and trauma CT brain scans can verify German New Medicine's laws Physical symptoms often follow emotional resolution Healing requires introspection and nervous system awareness     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

In this episode, Rebecca dives into the true power of emotional resilience and how it directly impacts your leadership—whether you're leading yourself, your family, or a team. You'll learn how resilience isn't just about bouncing back—it's about building emotional strength, flexibility, and deep self-trust so you can show up as your most empowered self. Key Takeaways: 1. Resilience = Present Moment Power Resilience is the ability to adapt, stay creative, and respond (not react) in the face of stress. When you're operating from the present instead of the past, you lead with clarity and confidence. Self-trust is at the core of true resilience. 2. Your Past Doesn't Get to Drive Anymore Most of your emotional responses today were programmed before age 8. Hypnosis and other healing tools can help you rewire those patterns so you're no longer triggered by old emotional recipes of fear, guilt, or shame. 3. The Path to Resilience is Through Self-Acceptance Daily self-acknowledgment, shifting inner dialogue, and forgiving past versions of yourself are powerful tools to build your emotional strength. Let go of judgment and start noticing what's already good about you. Ready to build your emotional resilience and finally stop reacting from old wounds? Let's talk. Book your free consultation at callwithrebecca.com and take your first step toward lasting healing and empowered leadership.

When the emotional waves of divorce hit unexpectedly, leaving you wondering if you've somehow failed at healing, know this: you're experiencing grief in its most natural form. Grief during divorce isn't a linear journey with neat stages and timelines—it's an unpredictable rollercoaster that can send you soaring one day and plummeting the next. The profound disconnect between what you thought your life would be and what it has become creates the perfect conditions for grief to emerge. Yet unlike the grief that follows death, divorce grief often hides in plain sight, unacknowledged by both ourselves and society. You might hear that you have no right to feel sad if you initiated the divorce, or that you should feel only relief if your marriage was difficult. These judgments only compound the pain. What you're feeling is valid. Every time you feel like you've finally found solid ground, only to be blindsided by sadness while shopping at Target or driving to work, you're not moving backward in your healing—you're moving through it exactly as you need to. There's no "right way" to grieve the end of a marriage. Understanding the predictable triggers that launch you back onto this emotional rollercoaster gives you power. Knowing what situations commonly spark these feelings—and having practical tools ready to support yourself through them—transforms your experience from overwhelming to manageable. To help you navigate this challenging terrain with more confidence, I've created a free guide; What To Expect When Divorcing: The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce.

There are cancer-causing chemicals in your kid's food—and no one's talking about it. In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Brandon and Whitney Cawood, the powerhouse couple behind the viral documentary To DIE For: The Toxic Truth About Food Dyes. Brandon and Whitney are filmmakers and former educators turned activists, using storytelling and grassroots advocacy to fight for real change in our food system. They expose the shocking truth about synthetic dyes—why they're in our food, the neurological and behavioral issues they cause in children, and the government's failure to protect us. The Cawoods share the heartbreaking story of how dyes transformed their child's behavior and how eliminating them changed everything. This is a must-listen conversation for any parent, health advocate, or freedom-minded individual who wants to wake up and take control of what goes into their body.   Episode Highlights: synthetic dyes, food additives, children's health, food regulations, FDA corruption, Red 40, Red 3 ban, parental awareness, real food movement, bipartisan legislation, food system reform, documentary filmmaking     Takeaways:   Synthetic dyes serve no nutritional or preservative purpose Red 3 is linked to cancer yet remained in food for decades Children show neurological symptoms after dye exposure FDA lacks the mandate to re-evaluate harmful additives Bipartisan support for dye bans is growing at the state level Food education must reach low-income and underserved communities Real food is often cheaper and healthier than processed foods     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

Romantic relationships are sacred, powerful, and life-giving. But I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to love and let yourself be loved.Marriage and family therapist Dr. Terry Hargrave has been helping couples in crisis restore broken relationships for decades, teaching them how to get unstuck, improve communication, and move beyond destructive coping mechanisms—to find reciprocity, self-affirming confidence, emotional regulation, and a joyful, lasting love.In a world marked by loneliness, disconnection, and emotional dysregulation, Hargrave offers powerful insights on the human need for identity, safety, and belonging—and how we can heal the wounds that keep us stuck. Drawing on decades of therapeutic experience and deep personal reflection, Hargrave explains how coping mechanisms like blame, shame, control, and escape can damage relationships—and how the peace cycle of nurture, self-valuing, balanced give-and-take, and connection can restore wholeness. He discusses his unique approach to the healing and restorative power of relationships, which lifts us up to our potential, encouraging us toward a nurturing, self-valuing, non-controlling reciprocity, and true connection.In this conversation with Terry Hargrave, we discuss:How to turn around a relationship in crisis and get off the emotional rollercoasterHow to build security and trust in order to improve or repair a marriage or long-term relationshipCoping mechanisms of blame, shame, control, and escapePractical steps to learn emotional self-regulationWhat to do when only one partner is working on a relationshipThe role of the brain and neuroplasticity in relational repairAnd the spiritual underpinnings of Terry's approach to restoration therapyEpisode Highlights"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing—until you claim your belovedness for yourself, nothing will change.""Relationships are a mirror—we discover who we are through how others see us.""Blame, shame, control, and escape—nothing good comes from these coping mechanisms.""Understanding doesn't produce change. Doing produces change.""When we nurture, self-value, connect, and cooperate, unleashed joy happens.""Thriving is doing more of your best self, not learning something new."Helpful Links and ResourcesRestoration Therapy Training ResourcesThe Mindful Marriage by Ron Deal and Nan Deal (with Terry and Sharon Hargrave)Five Days to a New Self by Terry HargraveEmotionally Focused Therapy and Sue Johnson's LegacyShow NotesIntroduction to Terry Hargrave and the importance of Restoration Therapy today"We are still the same humans, but with a bigger pipe of problems and fewer emotional connections."Emotional dysregulation linked to identity and safety threatsRelationships as a mirror to the self and necessary for human thriving"For there to be a me, there has to be a thou."Why relationships are difficult: imperfection, wounding, and unmet needsHow family of origin wounds influence coping styles"Families don't mean to screw each other up, but somehow they manage to."Introduction of the four major unhealthy coping mechanisms: blame, shame, control, and escapeHow overachievement, perfectionism, and withdrawal are survival strategies from early wounding"Your greatest strength might actually be an old coping habit getting in the way of intimacy."The relational signs that coping mechanisms are damaging relationshipsHealing through self-regulation: speaking truth to yourself with love"Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself of who you really are."The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation in emotional healingRestoration Therapy's peace cycle: nurture, self-value, balance, connection"Nothing good comes from blame, shame, control, or escape."The role of practice and neuroplasticity in forming new relational habits"Doing, not just understanding, is what rewires the brain."How thriving relationships move from neediness to adventurous partnershipIntimacy as knowing yourself more fully through connection, not just need satisfactionCooperative growth and mutual flourishing as hallmarks of thrivingApplication of restoration principles to broader societal healing and reconciliation"Unleashed joy happens when we choose nurture and connection, even with adversaries."The critical role of faith in affirming belovedness and ultimate identity"Everyone else and even God can tell you you're beloved—but you have to claim it for yourself."Practical advice for knowing when to seek therapyWhere to find Restoration Therapy-trained therapistsResources for learning more: Mindful Marriage and other Restoration Therapy booksThe key takeaways that I will carry with me from this conversation are the following:You can change. Your relationship can change. But it takes a daily practice of hard work to create lasting change.And though you might fail, there is hope that you can begin again.Our coping mechanisms are not superpowers. They hurt us and the people we love.Understanding is not enough. Action and behavior has to follow for change to occur.[Any others?] It takes two to tango, but that doesn't get you off the hook from doing the work on yourself.And finally, a thriving relationship creates joy all around it, within a family, in a community, and it shows how personal relationships can change society.About Terry HargraveDr. Terry Hargrave.
