You'd think it'd be easy to figure out: The hurtful one is the abusive one. But what happens when the victim gets convinced they are the abuser? Determining that while in the abuse cycle can sometimes be very difficult. However, I make it very clear in this episode.

In this episode, we explore the challenges of parenting preteens and teens, focusing on the shift in dynamics as children enter their teenage years. Many young people express feelings of being scrutinized by their parents, questioning why they suddenly feel like they are under an interrogation just because they've turned 13. We discuss the importance of support and understanding in the parent-child relationship, emphasizing the need for open communication. The episode also touches on how parents can effectively support their kids during this transformative phase, even when it feels like their efforts are not being recognized. Join us as we navigate these complex emotions and work towards fostering a nurturing environment for our growing teens.

What opportunities do you have for creating more connection in your life?A big theme of mine this year is exploring connection – how we connect with others, how we open up to connection, and what forms of communication lead to connection.I became more seriously interested in this area of my life after spending a week in Costa Rica with a group of people with the highest quality communication skills of anyone I've ever spent time with. It led me to not only learn rapidly but also experience more depth and duration of connection that I typically feel day to day. As part of this exploration, I've been in Art of Accomplishment Connection course with my wife. What people really want to experience in community, with friends, and with family is depth of connection. But the number of walls we have up are numerous, and we often seek connection all of these strange ways that are indirect. People sometimes show their care through safety, fear for others, or they create connection through gossip or shared anger/struggle. Connection through FearInstead of connecting, you use fear as a stand-in for vulnerability, and you unconsciously feel “If I worry about you, that's me caring about you.”This isn't necessarily bad, but rather that it leaves you less satisfied than having a full connection experience with someone else. Often your pseudo-connection pushes others away, rather than connecting which was the point in the first place.Connection through Taking up Attention, or Hiding from itAnother common stand-in to connection is allowing others to have attention but not receiving it yourself. I'm guilty of this one. When you're afraid of connection, you feel more comfortable putting attention and caring for others instead of allowing others to care for you. It's like the spotlight is better on anyone else but you.Here…it feels good to give but not to receive. Connection doesn't fully happen in this experience because two people need to be both open to giving and receiving, and you're shut down and playing the part of connection rather than truly participating. The Quality of Our ExperienceWhat surprises me most about these experiences or courses is how much connection is not in the actions you take or don't take, it's an experience, a quality of attention that you feel. You might have experiences at holidays or after a long weekend with friends or a long dinner? Or maybe you get this experience at Church or with a local community group you volunteer with? You can attend those same events and have little connection.Connection itself is satisfying, significantly more satisfying than many other things we spend our time doing, possibly even more than praise at work or accolades. When you truly get deep, prolonged connection time with others it feels like having a glass of water after being very thirsty. You're nourished, recharged.In this way I think connection can be addicting, but it's a good addiction, one that is fun to experience and play in the nuances with. Connection is something we can have more or less of every day depending on how we choose to relate to ourselves or others. That's the big lesson.It takes openness with yourself, and some skill re-building for you to find and create more connection in your life. It's worth it.

Russ and Jared are spiraling into the high-tech fever dream that is AfrAId (2024), featuring a cast so stacked it feels like a casting director lost a bet: John Cho, Katherine Waterston, Havana Rose Liu, Lukita Maxwell, Wyatt Lindner, Isaac Bae, David Dastmalchian, Ashley Romans, Bennett Curran, and Keith freakin' Carradine. There's AI. There's teen angst. There's a dinner party from hell. Is the house haunted? Hacked? Emotionally manipulative? Who knows—certainly not the characters. Join us as we untangle this digital mess, roast some questionable parenting choices, and wonder aloud how many lines of code it takes to ruin a family vacation. (Written by ITMTron)

Dr. Sarah Vandeboncoeur returns to unpack the exhaustion so many women feel—not just from perimenopause, but from decades of overgiving.Most of us enter this phase already running on empty, juggling work, family, and endless to-dos.

Freedom ain't somethin' you return. It ain't a receipt you keep in case it don't fit right. Nah, once you taste it — Real Freedom — there's no goin' back. See, they sell us this dream that Comfort is King, that the 9 to 5 with a lil' vacation time is the goal. But that ain't freedom, that's a lease. Freedom is Ownership — of your Time, your Mind, your Money, and your Spirit. You can't unsee what you've seen once you break out the cage. The moment you start investing in yourself, learning the game, building assets over liabilities — you feel somethin' shift. You start walking different, thinkin' different. And that energy? That's called abundance consciousness. So when I say “Freedom Has No Refund,” I mean once you break them mental chains, once you start buildin' wealth and walkin' in purpose, you won't wanna go back. Ain't no refund on that. Ain't no goin' back to broke Mentally, Emotionally, Financially or Spiritually. You're chasin' destiny. And trust me, that's a return on investment the streets can't match.FREEDOM HAS NO REFUND | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 138) Trappin Tuesday's

This is part two of a two-part story with Julie, who lives in Brazil. Julie was in a toxic relationship for 20 years! Like many stories, we hear, she didn't recognize this as abuse because, although it seemed like it, he never actually hit her. She knows better now that it was abuse. Had he hit her, she feels she would have left this relationship a lot sooner. Many of us cannot understand how anyone could remain in this kind of a relationship, especially for 20 years. But abusive relationships are full of rewards and punishments that knock a person down and then pull a person up. This is trauma bonding. We thank Julie for sharing, because the more we know, the better we can stay out of abuse of relationships like this one. NOTE: If you are a survivor and want to share your story of abuse on the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, please email me: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com The WHEN DATING HURTS book (in paperback, eBook, and audiobook) can be found on Amazon.

This is part one of a two-part story with Julie, who lives in Brazil. Julie was in a toxic relationship for 20 years! Like many stories, we hear, she didn't recognize this as abuse because, although it seemed like it, he never actually hit her. She knows better now that it was abuse. Had he hit her, she feels she would have left this relationship a lot sooner. Many of us cannot understand how anyone could remain in this kind of a relationship, especially for 20 years. But abusive relationships are full of rewards and punishments that knock a person down and then pull a person up. This is trauma bonding. We thank Julie for sharing, because the more we know, the better we can stay out of abuse of relationships like this one.

Ever find yourself apologizing just for having feelings? Congrats, you're officially emotionally constipated—yes, that's a thing. It happens when you stuff your emotions deep down until they burst out at the worst possible moment (hello anxiety, meet embarrassment). This delightful cycle is extra fun if you're an HSP, by the way. Here's an idea: stop shoving your sensitivity into a corner like it's misbehaving. Feelings need regular release, or they'll make your life awkward real fast. You're allowed to let it out—no apologies needed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if your entire life is being shaped by wounds you don't even know you have?Most of us carry emotional scars buried so deep, we're not even aware they exist. And because we don't see them, we don't know we need healing—let alone how to begin.Trauma isn't always dramatic. Sometimes, it's subtle. It's the weight of things unspoken, inherited pain passed down from generations, childhood moments that left marks, or a society that never taught us how to feel safe.The real issue? Our world doesn't teach us how to heal. It teaches us to distract, to numb, to escape. And so we go on, letting the past quietly control the present.In my latest podcast, I share a simple but powerful 3-step process for healing emotional wounds. It's a way to break the cycle—for yourself, and for those around you.You don't have to live stuck in pain.You don't have to pass it on.Here's how to start healing—even if you don't know where to begin.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I’m joined by my friend, Pastor Jessica Van Roekel, as we talk about something so many of us are facing today—the growing challenges of stress and a work-life balance that feels anything but balanced. Together, we share from our personal stories, our professional backgrounds, and, most importantly, from a place of faith. We offer practical strategies to help you reclaim peace, set healthy boundaries, and redefine what true success looks like. My hope is that through our honest conversation, you’ll be reminded that grace and flexibility are available, and that lasting peace is found when we anchor our lives in faith. Quotables from the episode: Stress is something we all face to a greater or lesser extent. We live in a culture that promotes “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me” but if we aren’t careful to attend to appropriate stress management, prolonged stress can have a detrimental impact on our physical, emotional, mental well-being. If we go too long, for too strong, ultimately our bodies will demand we stop. So how do we work toward better work-life balance? Stress comes from a variety of places, but if we don’t learn to manage stress, it will manage us. We as women struggle with the work/life balance in a unique way because culture tells us success is gained or lost in the workplace, yet we are often the primary caregivers for our family (including everything from laundry to holiday costume sewing to permission slip signing to kissing boo-boos). In 1970, about 43 percent of women ages 16 and older were in the labor force. By 2000, 61 percent of adult women were in the labor force and that has continued through today. Arguably, today women have more on their plates than a generation ago, with less down time to rest and restore. Stress is a physiological and psychological response that occurs when we perceive a threat or challenge that EXCEEDS OUR COPING RESOURCES. This perception triggers the body's CENTRAL STRESS MGMT SYSTEM, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system (increased Heart Rate, Blood is directed to our muscles, increased alertness so you can face danger or run away) leading to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Once stress passes, the HPA axis should return to normal but often doesn’t because we live life in a heightened state of stress. Our brain doesn’t know the difference between good stress and bad stress. While this natural stress response is useful for short-term danger, chronic stress keeps these hormones elevated for extended periods, which can harm both mental and physical health. Perfect balance is a myth; instead, balance is fluid and flexible. Sometimes career demands take precedence, while other times, family needs do. Extending grace to yourself and adjusting priorities based on seasons of life can prevent both guilt and burnout. The myth of “multi-tasking”—it’s physiologically impossible for your brain to multitask. Physically, chronic stress can cause headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and a weakened immune system. It also raises the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances, impacting overall physical wellness. Stress has significant effects on brain function and structure. ACUTE stress can sharpen focus and improve short-term performance by enhancing activity in brain regions like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. However, chronic stress can have adverse effects and lead to structural changes in the brain, such as a reduction in the size of the hippocampus (affecting memory) and prefrontal cortex (affecting decision-making and executive function), while potentially increasing the size and activity of the amygdala (heightening emotional responses). Chronic stress often leads to constant worry, difficulty concentrating, and memory issues. The brain, under prolonged stress, struggles to function optimally, making it harder to focus and think clearly. Emotionally, prolonged stress can lead to feelings of irritability, anxiety, and even hopelessness and despair. It can cause mood swings and may contribute to depression, as persistent stress wears down emotional resilience. Constant connectivity has been shown to increase stress, as people may feel pressured by comparisons, notifications, and the need to stay updated. Increased academic and career pressures, societal instability, and economic uncertainty can all contribute to heightened stress. Having too much on our plate in one arena of our life leading to insufficient time and energy to devote to other areas of our life can spur stress. Consider adopting both a weekly and daily planning ritual across both your work and personal life whereby you establish the top 10 priorities for the week, then the top 3 priorities for each day, while circling the non-negotiable tasks. This narrows our focus and reduces the overwhelm of a long to-do list. When we consider that stress arises when situations exceed our coping resources and anxiety results from a fear of losing control, if we lower our expectations of others it leads to decreased stress & anxiety when things don’t measure up. Also, we often expect more from ourselves than do others. If you were to list everything you expect of yourself in a day or week, would you reasonably expect the same from others? Set Boundaries: we teach people how to treat us, and part of that is by setting and respecting boundaries. This includes learning to say “no” or “not now” gracefully and asking for help without guilt. Furthermore, appropriate boundary setting includes prioritizing non-negotiable family time, reserving specific hours for work, and protecting time for self-care. Consider Self-Care as Non-Negotiable: Redefine self-care as essential for your mental and physical health, including basics like adequate nutrition, exercise, scheduled rest breaks throughout the day, and consistent sleep-hygiene. Self-care also includes self-compassion especially on challenging days. There are no perfect days, but how we talk to ourselves on both good and challenging days matters! Pay attention to your thoughts and assess if you would talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Adopt a growth mindset: understanding that true success includes inner peace and joy, not just career milestones. Redefine “Success” in the Context of Balance: Never has anyone said at the end of their life that they wish they’d worked more. Consider envisioning a successful life that includes time for loved ones, mental wellness, and personal fulfillment. Return to Faith as Your Foundation: Surrender control to God and stay anchored in faith. Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3 Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.” Psalm 23 Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Episode Description: In this raw and real episode, Shelby shares the deeply personal journey of navigating her mother-in-law's impending transition into spirit—and how it's showing up loudly in her body, her energy field, and her spiritual processing. As a psychic medium and someone who had a near-death experience in 2011, Shelby pulls back the curtain on what it's really like to be the “energetic processor” in a family… especially during seasons of grief, emotional responsibility, and collective transformation. But this isn't just about death. It's about the rebirth of personal power. And as we move into April 2025—right in the middle of Mercury Retrograde, eclipse season, and Pluto's deep work on our collective soul—Shelby connects the dots between what's happening in her own life and what the planet is asking of all of us. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What it means to be the “spiritual processor” for your family (and how it shows up physically) How grief, power, and spiritual responsibility collide in the solar plexus, womb, and spine Why Shelby's body is burping out grief—and what it means when the body speaks louder than the mind The planetary energies of early April 2025 and why they're making everything feel more intense How to recognize when you're holding someone else's grief… and how to lovingly give it back If you're feeling… Emotionally heavy Physically achy in your solar plexus or back Confused, disoriented, or “not like yourself” Or if you're holding space for someone else going through a transition… ...then this episode will speak directly to your soul.
