Joining me this week are Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, co-authors of the bestselling book The Self-Driven Child and leading experts on the neuroscience of stress, motivation, and autonomy.   Together we explore:   - Why a child's sense of control is one of the strongest predictors of resilience, mental health, and stress tolerance. - How play, rest, and unstructured time uniquely support healthy brain development. - The hidden ways over-scheduling, overstimulation, and constant "fixing" can unintentionally increase anxiety. - What it really means to be a "non-anxious presence" — and how your calm helps regulate your child's nervous system. - How to give kids space to struggle, experiment, and try hard things without overwhelming them or abandoning them. - Practical, research-backed strategies for helping kids feel both safe and capable in a world that often feels anything but.   Whether you're raising a toddler or a teen, this conversation offers a grounded, science-backed reframe for understanding stress, resilience, and autonomy — and meaningful tools you can start using today to strengthen connection and help your child thrive.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUESTS:

In this fourth episode of Season Ten, Andrew once again has two guests… and they're siblings! Joining him are brothers who as Parra Genealogía, focus on researching family history in Mexico - it's Roberto and Ramón Parra! THE LIFE STORY - FLORENCIO PÉREZ COMOTO Ramón and Roberto have chosen to tell the life story of Florencio Pérez Comoto - the son-in-law of their 5x Great Grandfather.Florencio was born around 1775 in Cádiz in Andalucía, Spain, and when he graduated from medical training, he headed over to Nueva España (part of which is now modern Mexico) and settled in Veracruz. He worked as a military medical doctor and after arriving he found himself deep in epidemiology. After Edward Jenner's discovery of using cowpox to vaccinate against smallpox, Florencio ended up leading the efforts of vaccination against the spread of a deadly smallpox epidemic in Mexico, and encouraging people to get vaccinated.Florencio's work is a success, but when Mexico gains Independence in 1821, he and his family flee back to Spain.THE BRICK WALL - FLORENCIO PÉREZ COMOTOIt's a research brick wall that also surrounds their Life Story choice Florencio Pérez Comoto, that has Roberto and Ramón asking for help.Whilst Florencio and some of his sons were writers, translators, and poets, Roberto and Ramón have yet to find anything biographical about his life during the smallpox epidemic and his family's fleeing back to Spain after the Declaration of Mexico's Independence in 1821.If you think that you can help with a research idea or a clue to help bring their brick wall down, then you can contact them via their Parra Genealogía website, or alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass it along.In the meantime, Roberto and Ramón are keen to accept Andrew's offer of help, but it's all a matter of timing...- - -Episode Credits:Andrew Martin - Host and ProducerRoberto Parra - GuestRamón Parra - GuestPharos TutorsAdvance your research with a family history course from Pharos Tutors.Support the showThank you for listening!

Deb speaks with a senior correspondent with CTV News Plus – Why Toronto schools are sharing a principal GUEST: Adrian Ghobrial - Senior Correspondent with CTV National News

Research shows that people who chronically suppress their emotions have a 47% higher risk of premature death. Emotional suppression isn't just a mental health issue, it's a silent healthcare crisis. In this mind-shifting episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Author & Transformation Coach Keith Crossley, a mentor to celebrities, high performers, and leaders seeking to transform pain into power. Together, they expose the hidden dangers of self-abandonment and how to break cycles of guilt, gaslighting, anxiety, and ego.

Thanks for making this show possible!)Popular psychotherapist Joe Nucci (@JoeNucciTherapy) shares truth and research as he discusses common mental health myths and replaces them with no-nonsense truths and accessible guidance for real healing.The popularization of mental health content on social media has led to an epidemic of mental health misinformation. In Psychobabble, licensed psychotherapist Joe Nucci argues that too many of us are self-diagnosing, improperly deploying therapy-speak, and even coaching others to engage in harmful activities under the guise of “self-care.”Nucci dismantles 40 popular misconceptions, such as:– Everyone needs to go to therapy.– Your feelings are credible.– People gaslight you when they disagree.– Mindfulness is good for everyone.– Everyone has trauma.– The reason you can't focus is ADHD.This dangerous misinformation encourages well-meaning individuals to make consequential life decisions based on false beliefs, half-truths, and the advice of unlicensed armchair experts. It is time for a professional to call this out. Nucci replaces these myths with liberating truths that can help readers avoid misinformation, navigate important philosophical debates, and better maneuver their own mental health journeys. He shares client examples and evidence-based psychological theory, and draws from reputable studies and research.TikTok influencers and “life coaches” create viral videos telling people to cut off their problematic parents, and are cheered on by millions of followers. Recent divorcees proudly declare on Instagram that they are finally healing from their “narcissistic” ex-partner, even though you get the sense they can't actually define that word. Teenage “mental health advocates” lament the struggles of living with autism, but then subtly add that their condition is “self-diagnosed.” It is time for a professional to call out the misinformation and absurdity.Psychobabble is a must-read book for anyone who values mental health and cares about others.Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

Gavin Newsom OPENLY takes credit for building Elon Musk's Tesla empire. Truck drivers are sounding the alarm about the shocking number of Non-English speaking truckers. Sunny Hostin apparently thinks all her white neighbors are racists. Dana explains how she is noticing the right using identity politics like race and gender to defend their positions, lately. Elon Musk tells Americans to CANCEL their Netflix after a show features pushing pro-transgender on CHILDREN resurfaces. Banned Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif has become the face of Algerian beauty brand after her gender investigation continues. Dana explains how the largest funder of American universities is Qatar and how they are sewing divisions between young people for soft power. Dana explains how leftist violence has become so normalized even beyond Antifa.

Every day, we're flooded with information–headlines, opinions, advice, noise. And beneath that deluge of input, we carry stories that tell us how we stay safe and what asking questions will cost us.Certainty too often feels like safety. So we rush to respond before we understand and defend before we discern. We don't pause to reflect or to question the loudest voices in the room–proverbial or otherwise.But certainty at the expense of discernment can damage our connections to each other and to ourselves. Leadership that builds connection and trust for the long term requires us to cultivate the courage to ask questions and follow the answers, even when it's uncomfortable. When we catch an old story running the show and stay curious instead of certain, we can metabolize what's driving reactivity and protection. It's how we stay open, grounded, and self-led in a world that rewards reactivity.My guest in this conversation refers to this practice as faithful skepticism: asking hard questions without abandoning hope. When I read his moving essay, “Groomed by the Church: How The Clash Saved My Soul,” I knew I had to invite him here to discuss the importance of refining our discernment and cultivating skepticism as a vital tool for effective leadership. And how music serves as a powerful trailhead–both as a cultural lightning rod and as a catalyst for self-discovery. David Adey is a multimedia artist based in San Diego, CA.

Teenagers today are more "connected" than ever—and also more alone than ever. In this episode, I break down what researchers are calling a teenage loneliness epidemic and how it's quietly shaping our kids' emotional, social, and spiritual health. Large global studies show that about 1 in 9 adolescents worldwide report feeling lonely "most of the time" or "always." Long-term data also shows that by 2018, high loneliness levels in adolescents had nearly doubled compared to 2012. In the U.S., young people hold some of the highest loneliness rates of any age group, with one national report showing 61% of young adults experiencing "serious loneliness." We'll also get into the conversation around a "male loneliness epidemic." Some recent findings show men ages 15–34 report higher day-to-day loneliness than women the same age, even though overall, large-scale research suggests gender differences in loneliness are actually quite small. So what does that mean for your son—or your daughter? In this episode, I talk about: What's really driving the rise in teen loneliness (and why it's not as simple as "social media = bad"). How our parental habits—pace, expectations, emotional modeling—can unintentionally deepen the problem or help solve it. Practical, realistic ways to create connection with teens who seem withdrawn, prickly, or hard to reach. How boys and girls experience loneliness differently, and what each needs from the adults in their lives. How to offer yourself compassion as you learn new ways of showing up for your teen. This isn't about guilt. It's about naming what's real, supporting families with compassion, and giving you tools that bring connection back into the relationship.

Loneliness is quietly becoming one of the biggest struggles inside the church. Many believers feel isolated, unseen, or disconnected—especially heading into the holiday season. In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike breaks down why loneliness is so widespread, why Christians rarely admit they feel this way, and how Jesus Himself understands deep isolation.You'll hear:• The difference between loneliness and simply being alone• Why digital connection is replacing emotional connection• The three reasons believers hide their loneliness• How loneliness reshapes identity, hope, and spiritual health• How Jesus pursued lonely people throughout Scripture• Practical steps to overcome loneliness—both spiritually and relationallyIf you're feeling lonely today, you're not weak, broken, or forgotten. Jesus draws close to the lonely—and there is hope, healing, and community waiting for you.Type “pray for me” in the comments and Mike will pray for you personally.

Fraud in Minnesota isn't slowing down — it's exploding. Billions lost. Zero accountability. Elected officials looking the other way because the system benefits them. In this raw and honest episode, Vince Miller (pastor) and Rep. Elliott Engen (politician) sit down to talk about the fraud crisis no one else seems willing to address. From Feeding Our Future to autism program scams to DEI-shielded corruption, this conversation pulls the curtain back on what's happening behind the scenes. Vince connects today's corruption to the biblical story of Ahab, Jezebel, and Naboth from 1 Kings 21 — showing how injustice and fraud aren't new…but they always demand accountability. Elliott shares inside political realities, on-the-ground stories, and the personal cost of exposing fraud. And together they ask the real question: What can people of faith actually do? This episode is bold, honest, and deeply needed.

I need to talk about something that nobody wants to admit out loud — the crushing weight of spiritual loneliness.  Because here's what really happens when you awaken:  You don't just feel different from the people around you.  You start to feel like you're speaking a language that nobody else can understand.  You go to family dinners, and you smile, and you laugh, and you love these people — but inside, there's this growing distance.  They're talking about things that feel so surface-level now. Politics. Drama. Who said what. What they bought.  And you want to share what's really happening in your life — that you shifted timelines last Tuesday. That you spoke to your higher self in meditation.That you experienced a moment where you literally felt the quantum field respond to your intention. But you don't say it. Because you already know what happens when you do. You see that look.That concerned, loving look that says, "Are you okay? Have you been stressed?"  Or worse — that polite smile that means they've already checked out of the conversation. So you learn to edit yourself. You learn to code-switch between worlds. You become fluent in two languages — the language of the awakened, and the language of those still asleep. And the lonelier you get, the more you retreat inward. You meditate alone. You study alone. You experience these profound breakthroughs — alone.  And over time, something insidious happens. You start to believe that loneliness is the price of consciousness. That isolation is proof you're on the right path. That if you feel separate, it's because you've evolved beyond the collective. But that's a lie.That's the ego trying to make sense of pain.  The truth is this. Loneliness isn't a sign of awakening. It's a sign of disconnection from your true tribe.

In today's edition of Hollywood's Headlines, we break down how often NBA stars are sitting out due to load management and the growing frustration around it. Cam Skattebo takes to social media after his WWE controversy, and Kim Bokamper — live in studio — shares his unexpected wrestling history. We also dive into Bill Belichick being spotted at an adult cheerleading competition supporting his 24-year-old girlfriend, plus Steve Cohen's gold toilet selling for an unbelievable $12.1 million

Sometimes the worst disruptions lead to the best innovations. When COVID hit, Chas Gessner had built a thriving concierge medical clinic doing in-home hormone optimization across Southern California. Overnight, everything changed. Instead of folding, he pivoted to a completely virtual telemedicine model—and scaled his impact beyond what he ever thought possible. But here's what I love about Chas's story: His business didn't start from ambition. It started from necessity. After 7-8 years in the NFL dealing with head trauma and physical wear-and-tear, Chas was experiencing hormone dysfunction in his late 20s—issues most men don't face until their 40s. Traditional healthcare offered band-aids. He wanted root causes. So he reconnected with a naturopathic doctor from Brown, "popped the hood" on his labs, and discovered a lot was awry. That personal quest became Vitality RX, now helping thousands of men reclaim their energy, focus, and vitality. In Get Yourself Optimized, Chas shares:  ✅ Why the "normal" testosterone range is meaningless  ✅ The difference between TRT and natural hormone optimization  ✅ His complete sleep, supplement, and stress management protocol  ✅ How to test and track what actually matters If you've been feeling like you're just "getting older," this episode is required listening. Because what you're experiencing has a name—and a solution.

“My most powerful content is when I lead with my voice as a mom because I have the same concerns about keeping my kids safe as my audience does. It's a powerful and effective way to find common ground with people,” says Dr. Jess Steier, a popular public health scientist and science communicator seeking to bridge divides and foster trust through empathetic, evidence-based communication. Dr. Steier has several platforms from which to do this work, including  Unbiased Science --  a communication hub that uses multiple social media platforms and other communications channels to share validated health and science information -- and as executive director of the Science Literacy Lab, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching a diverse audience seeking clarity and reliable information on scientific topics. “The science is less than half the battle,” she explains. “It's about how to communicate with empathy.”Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for a valuable conversation that explores:What sources Dr. Steier relies on to validate informationHow she uses “escape room” exercises to train clinicians on empathetic communicationWhy tailored, story-driven messages reach audiences more effectively than facts.Mentioned in this episode:Unbiased Science If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

They unpack record levels of burnout, the real dangers of disconnection (including life-threatening consequences), and how our society (not our minds) is often the problem. Dr. Jody shares practical tools for emotional regulation, fostering authentic interactions, and reconnecting with the best parts of ourselves—and why nothing can replace the power of in-person connection in a hyper-digital world.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared opens part one of a powerful new series on what he calls the hidden epidemic—the widespread and silent impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on hormones, brain chemistry, metabolism, and long-term health. After more than a year and a half of deep research, Jared and his wife Jen have uncovered how these chemicals mimic hormones, block receptors, interfere with detox pathways, disrupt neurotransmitters, and contribute to challenges like fatigue, low motivation, stubborn weight gain, PMS, anxiety, sleep struggles, and declining testosterone in both men and women.This episode explains why the endocrine system is struggling more than ever, how EDCs create thyroid chaos, hormonal imbalance, and neurochemical disruption, and what steps you can begin taking right now to start clearing these compounds from your environment and your body. If you've been dealing with symptoms that “don't match” your lab work, if you've struggled to feel balanced despite doing the right things, or if you've suspected environmental chemicals may be affecting you or your family, make sure to listen to Part 2 and stay tuned for future episodes.

China's Role in Global Drug Epidemics: Meth Precursors and Weaponizing Chemicals. Guests: Kelly Currie and Gordon Chang. Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang detailed China's crucial role in the global drug trade, asserting that China's chemical exports are fueling a "tsunami of meth" across Asia. Chinese manufacturers supply meth precursor chemicals to warlords, notably the Chinese-aligned, US-sanctioned United Wa State Army in Myanmar. This production (Yaba/ice) is believed to have been diverted from China's domestic market in the 1990s. Both guests confirmed this activity is impossible without the explicit knowledge and support of the Central Committee, noting China grants export subsidies, tax rebates, and uses state banks for money laundering associated with the drug trade. China benefits financially and strategically by weakening US-backed allies like Thailand and South Korea who are flooded with the drugs. This structure mirrors the fentanyl crisis in North America, and experts predict increasing co-production and sharing of chemical methods between Asian drug groups and Mexican cartels. 1922 burma
