In part two of this conversation, guest host Chad Hayenga is joined again by Connected Families coaches Lydia Rex and Katie Wetsell to offer practical support for parents navigating these kinds of behaviors. They explore how a thoughtful plan can help you respond rather than react. This includes inviting trusted supporters into your family's care, recognizing early signs of stress, and adjusting for the right level of engagement.

If aggression is a frequent challenge in your home, the new Confidence in Crisis: Navigating Aggressive Behaviors mini-course was created to support you. For $28, Lydia and Katie guide you through a practical, faith-filled process that integrates the Connected Families Framework™, Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, and Nonviolent Resistance. You'll create a personalized safety plan, learn research-informed strategies for difficult moments, and gain confidence that God can meet your family with grace and wisdom through hard things. Key Takeaways: Why inviting trusted supporters into your child's growth can bring care, accountability, and connection Learn about the four levels of engagement Why practicing a plan in low-stress moments prepares your family for harder ones How noticing and affirming even small steps of growth can strengthen new skills over time Mentioned in this Podcast: Confidence in Crisis online course NEW!

válaszolta Zoltán, de hangjában ott bujkált a félelem.En: "I'm fine, thank you," replied Zoltán, but fear lurked in his voice.Hu: Mindig is félt attól, hogy valakire rászoruljon.En: He had always been afraid of relying on someone else.Hu: Anikó azonban nem hagyta magát megtéveszteni.En: However, Anikó was not easily deceived.Hu: Látta, hogy Zoltán küzd valami belső démonnal.En: She saw that Zoltán was battling some internal demon.Hu: Kopogtatás hallatszott, majd belépett Márta, Zoltán nővére.En: There was a knock, and then Márta, Zoltán's sister, entered.Hu: Kezében egy kosár gyümölcsökkel és újságokkal próbálta lekötni testvére figyelmét.En: With a basket of fruits and newspapers, she tried to capture her brother's attention.Hu: "Hogy érzed magad?En: "How do you feel?Hu: Hozok valamit, amire szükséged van?En: Do you need me to bring you anything?"Hu: " kérdezte aggodalmasan.En: she asked anxiously.Hu: "Márta, minden rendben van.En: "Márta, everything is fine.Hu: Kérlek, ne aggódj annyira" - próbálta Zoltán enyhíteni nővére szorongását, de tudta, hogy ez nem lesz könnyű.En: Please don't worry so much," Zoltán tried to ease his sister's anxiety, but he knew it wouldn't be easy.Hu: A napok teltek, és Zoltán türelmetlen lett.En: Days passed, and Zoltán became impatient.Hu: Márta figyelme és gondoskodása fojtogatóvá vált számára.En: Márta's attention and care started to feel suffocating.Hu: Nem akarta megbántani nővérét, de érezte, hogy változtatnia kell valamin.En: He didn't want to hurt his sister, but he felt the need to change something.Hu: Anikóval is gyakrabban beszélgetett, és egy napon úgy döntött, hogy megosztja vele félelmeit.En: He also talked more frequently with Anikó, and one day he decided to share his fears with her.Hu: "Anikó, félek, hogy terhére leszek Mártának.En: "Anikó, I fear I will be a burden to Márta.Hu: Hogy nem tudok újra önálló lenni" - mondta egyik este, amikor Anikó a sebét kötözte.En: That I won't be able to be independent again," he said one evening as Anikó bandaged his wound.Hu: "Zoltán, nincs abban semmi rossz, ha segítséget kér.En: "Zoltán, there's nothing wrong with asking for help.Hu: Nem tesz gyengévé" - mondta Anikó őszinte kedvességgel.En: It doesn't make you weak," Anikó said with genuine kindness.Hu: Szavai Zoltánhoz értek, és valahogy több erőt adtak neki.En: Her words reached Zoltán and somehow gave him more strength.Hu: Egy következő látogatás alkalmával Zoltán összeszedte bátorságát, és őszinte beszélgetést kezdeményezett Mártával.En: During a subsequent visit, Zoltán gathered his courage and initiated an honest conversation with Márta.Hu: "Tudom, hogy aggódsz értem, de szükségem van egy kicsit több önállóságra.En: "I know you worry about me, but I need a bit more independence.Hu: Meg kell próbálnom saját lábra állni" - mondta.En: I have to try to stand on my own," he said.Hu: Márta először megdöbbent, de aztán megértette.En: Márta was initially stunned, but then she understood.Hu: "Rendben van, Zoli.En: "It's okay, Zoli.Hu: Mindig melletted állok, de tiszteletben tartom az igényeidet" - felelte szeretettel.En: I will always be by your side, but I respect your needs," she replied with love.Hu: Ahogy múltak a hetek, Zoltán egyre erősebb lett, fizikailag és érzelmileg is.En: As the weeks passed, Zoltán grew stronger both physically and emotionally.Hu: Megtanulta elfogadni a segítséget és meghúzni a határokat.En: He learned to accept help and set boundaries.Hu: Tudta, hogy Márta mindig ott lesz neki, de már nem félt ettől.En: He knew that Márta would always be there for him, but he no longer feared it.Hu: Anikó segítségével megértette, hogy a legnagyobb erő olykor az, amikor beismerjük a gyengeségeinket.En: With Anikó's help, he understood that the greatest strength sometimes lies in acknowledging our weaknesses.Hu: A nyár végéhez közeledett, és Zoltán nemcsak a fizikai, hanem a lelki sebekből is felépült.En: As summer neared its end, Zoltán recovered not just from his physical, but also his emotional wounds.Hu: A kórházi szoba ablakán át beáramló napfény most már nemcsak a külvilágot, hanem Zoltán lelkét is ragyogóvá tette.En: The sunlight streaming through the hospital room window now brightened not only the outside world but also Zoltán's soul.Hu: Megtalálta az egyensúlyt függetlensége és sebezhetősége között.En: He found a balance between his independence and vulnerability.Hu: És ez a felismerés szabaddá tette.En: And this realization set him free.

You're not alone. Navigating the emotional rollercoaster of addiction recovery is tough. Families often face a whirlwind of fears: Will they stay sober? Will this be the last time? Trust erodes over time, and the stress can feel overwhelming. It's not just the person in recovery who struggles; family members are left to manage the fallout of broken promises, emotional turmoil, and the fear of relapse. But healing is possible!!! It starts with recognizing that you need to focus on yourself too. Establish healthy boundaries and encourage your loved ones to take their recovery seriously. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Prioritize your own well-being first, and together you can navigate these challenges. What's your experience with this? Let's talk about it!Key topicsImpact of addiction on family dynamicsTrust erosion and rebuilding strategiesImportance of self-care and boundariesRelapse warning signs and preventionRole of therapy and support systemsTakeawaysTrust is lost by the bucketful and gained by the dropper full.Recovery is a continuous process, not a one-time event.Self-love and honesty are crucial for lasting change.Family involvement and support are vital for recovery.Relapse does not mean failure; it's part of the healing journey.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene02:46 Navigating Treatment and Family Dynamics06:24 Trust, Relationships, and Recovery11:54 The Importance of Self-Work in Recovery17:51 Rebuilding Trust and Moving Forward22:43 Family Support and Individual Healing25:31 Navigating Relationship Challenges in Recovery28:43 The Importance of Commitment in Recovery32:05 Rebuilding Trust and Communication34:41 The Family Dynamics of Addiction37:47 Preparing for Transition and Rebuilding Relationships42:28 The Power of Intelligent Self-Care45:01 Taking Action: Steps Toward Recovery“Be Strong, Stand Up, Speak Your Truth, and Break the Stigma.”Music by Rod Kim-Let's Play-SoundtrackFirstresponder-wellness.comMentalHealthNewsRadionetwork.comPositiveconnectionsradio.comMcLintockcounseling.comhttp://www.youtube.com/@HALTandCallforBackuphttps://www.instagram.com/haltandcallforbackup/?hl=en

We shouldn't lose hope."Hi: राजेश ने गहरी सांस ली।En: Rajesh took a deep breath.Hi: वह जानता था कि दीया भी भीतर से चिंतित थी, लेकिन वह हमेशा ताकतवर बनने की कोशिश करती थी।En: He knew that Diya was worried inside as well, but she always tried to be strong.Hi: उनकी बेटी अनीका की सर्जरी चल रही थी, और यह समय उनके लिए बहुत कठिन था।En: Their daughter Anika's surgery was underway, and this was a very difficult time for them.Hi: पास ही खड़ा उनका परिवार का करीबी दोस्त विक्रम, जो अस्पताल में डॉक्टर था।En: Standing nearby was their close family friend Vikram, who was a doctor at the hospital.Hi: समय-समय पर आकर उन्हें स्थिति की जानकारी देता रहा।En: He kept coming to update them about the situation.Hi: “अभी तक सब ठीक चल रहा है,” विक्रम ने पूरे आत्मविश्वास के साथ बताया।En: "Everything is going well so far," Vikram said confidently.Hi: राजेश ने सिर हिलाया और दीया का हाथ पकड़ा।En: Rajesh nodded and held Diya's hand.Hi: दीया की आँखों में एक चमक थी, मानो वह उसे हिम्मत दे रही हो।En: There was a glimmer in Diya's eyes as if she was giving him strength.Hi: पानी की बूंदें लगातार बारिश के संगीत को बढ़ा रही थीं।En: The raindrops continued to enhance the melody of the rain.Hi: हर बूंद के साथ राजेश की चिंता बढ़ती जाती थी।En: With each drop, Rajesh's anxiety grew.Hi: उन्होंने महसूस किया कि वह अंदर से टूट रहा है।En: He felt like he was breaking inside.Hi: लेकिन इस बार, उसने खुद को अकेला महसूस नहीं होने दिया।En: But this time, he didn't let himself feel alone.Hi: उसने दीया के कंधे पर सिर रख दिया और धीरे से कहा, “मुझे डर लग रहा है, दीया।”En: He rested his head on Diya's shoulder and softly said, "I'm scared, Diya."Hi: दीया ने उसे और कसकर पकड़ लिया।En: Diya held him tighter.Hi: “हम साथ हैं, राजेश। कुछ गलत नहीं होगा,” उसने मज़बूती से कहा।En: "We are together, Rajesh. Nothing will go wrong," she said firmly.Hi: राजेश को महसूस हुआ कि दीया के साथ होने का एहसास उसे कुछ शांत कर रहा था।En: Rajesh felt that the feeling of being with Diya was calming him somewhat.Hi: इसी बीच विक्रम वापस आया।En: Meanwhile, Vikram came back.Hi: उसके चेहरे पर एक राहत की मुस्कान थी।En: There was a relieved smile on his face.Hi: “सर्जरी सफल रही। अनीका अब खतरे से बाहर है,” उसने बताया।En: "The surgery was successful. Anika is out of danger now," he informed.Hi: अंतर में शांति का संचार हुआ।En: A sense of peace filled the room.Hi: राजेश, दीया और विक्रम तीनों के चेहरों पर राहत की चाचनी झलक उठी।En: Rajesh, Diya, and Vikram all showed a glimpse of relief on their faces.Hi: राजेश ने अपनी आँखें आकाश की ओर उठाईं।En: Rajesh lifted his eyes towards the sky.Hi: बारिश की बूंदे अब भी गिर रही थीं, लेकिन इस बार वे उन्हें एक नई शुरुआत का संदेश दे रही थीं।En: The rain was still falling, but this time it carried a message of a new beginning.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि परिवार का समर्थन वास्तव में कितना महत्वपूर्ण होता है।En: He realized how important family support truly was.Hi: राजेश ने सीखा कि भावनाएँ साझा करना कमजोरी नहीं होती, बल्कि यह ताकत बन सकती है।En: Rajesh learned that sharing emotions isn't a weakness, but it can become a strength.Hi: मॉनसून की बारिश के बीच, इंतजार कक्ष में एक नई उम्मीद का सूरज उग चुका था।En: Amidst the monsoon rain, a new sun of hope had risen in the waiting room.Hi: दीया ने मुस्कुराते हुए कहा, “देखो, सब ठीक हो गया।”En: Diya smiled and said, "See, everything turned out fine."Hi: अब राजेश के मन में कोई संशय नहीं था।En: Now Rajesh had no doubt in his mind.Hi: उनके लिए यह एक नया सफर था, जिसे वह अपने परिवार के साथ मिलकर पार करेंगे।En: For them, it was a new journey, one they would navigate together with their family.

In Episode 523 of Fishing Without Bait, we continue our conversation with Missy Sorg in Part 2 of a thoughtful and challenging discussion about politics, responsibility, family support, and respectful disagreement. Missy and Jim Ellermeyer begin by examining the complicated realities surrounding abortion and the question of what happens after a child is born. Their conversation moves beyond political slogans to consider infertility, adoption, foster care, support systems, special-needs care, financial responsibility, and the difficult decisions families may face. Missy shares personal experiences that have shaped her perspective, including going through infertility treatments and seeing family members navigate teenage pregnancy and lifelong care needs. The discussion asks whether society is doing enough to educate young people about consequences, critical thinking, emotional decision-making, and personal responsibility. The conversation then expands into voter education and representative government. Drawing from her work as a Republican committee woman and her experiences at polling locations, Missy discusses the importance of understanding what elected offices actually control rather than voting entirely through party labels or a single issue. Jim and Missy also consider how political representatives can become disconnected from their constituents, how social media encourages echo chambers, and why people often listen only long enough to prepare their response. Despite the disagreements and difficult subjects, the episode returns to a simple principle: people should be treated with courtesy and respect. Meaningful progress begins when we stop reducing one another to political labels and begin listening to learn. This is Part 2 of our conversation with Missy Sorg.

In Episode 211 of the SLI Online Esthetician School Podcast, Stephanie Laynes shares her perspective on one of the most common questions asked by beauty professionals: Do you need a supportive partner or a supportive family to become a successful esthetician and entrepreneur? Stephanie's answer may surprise you. While having encouragement from family is wonderful, she explains why having a supportive partner can make a greater difference when you're building a business and creating a life together. In This Episode You'll Learn Why emotional support matters when building an esthetics business. How a supportive partner can positively impact your entrepreneurial journey. Why family members may not always understand your vision. How to handle criticism from friends and family while staying focused on your goals. The importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in your success. Healthy ways to communicate with your spouse or partner about the demands of running a beauty business. How to protect your mindset during the early stages of entrepreneurship. Why Support Matters for Estheticians Many licensed estheticians dream of opening their own spa, growing a skincare brand, becoming a solo esthetician, or creating financial freedom through entrepreneurship. However, building a successful beauty business often requires sacrifices that others may not immediately understand. You may experience: Working evenings and weekends. Reinvesting profits back into your business. Spending hours creating social media content. Investing in continuing education. Delaying vacations or major purchases. Managing uncertainty while your business grows. Having someone at home who understands these challenges can provide stability, encouragement, and confidence during difficult seasons. Family Support vs. Partner Support Every family dynamic is different, and many entrepreneurs receive incredible encouragement from parents, siblings, and relatives. In this episode, Stephanie discusses why a supportive life partner often has a greater day-to-day influence because they typically share your household, finances, responsibilities, and long-term goals. When you and your partner communicate well and work as a team, it can make navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship much easier. At the same time, if family members don't fully understand your vision, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't succeed. Many successful entrepreneurs have built thriving businesses while earning support gradually through consistent action and results. Key Takeaway You don't need everyone's approval to build a successful esthetics business. You do need people in your life who respect your goals, encourage your growth, and support the work required to achieve your vision. A supportive partner can be an important part of that foundation, while a strong network of mentors, business friends, and fellow estheticians can provide additional encouragement along the way.

In a sleepy Canberra suburb, Bek Condello was raised in a strict patriarchal Pentecostal movement. The influence of the Geelong Revival Centre extended deeply into the lives of the congregation, promoting discipline and dictating how girls and women behaved, who they socialised with and who they would marry. After finding her way out and discovering her own identity, Bek has written a memoir, out on 14 July, called Can You Handle a Girl Like Me. Through her story she hopes she can inspire others to rebuild and thrive after deep loss.LinksCan You Handle a Girl Like Me — by Bek Condello, Penguin, 2026Secrets We Keep: Pray Harder — Richard Baker's podcast about the Geelong Revival CentreCredits:Produced by Sarah SteelMusic by Joe GouldYou can support Let's Talk About Sects here.

Ryan Bloom grew up in a good family in Oklahoma with dreams of becoming a dentist. Life took a different turn and he built an electrical contracting business instead. When the business lost a major contract he turned to a small bank for help — and got pulled into a high interest invoice lending situation that ultimately left him owing over $2 million and forced to declare bankruptcy. Ryan thought everything he was doing was completely legitimate. Then the feds came for him. He was indicted for bank fraud — and discovered the prosecutor had a conflict of interest with the bank. He fought back. He spent almost $500,000 in attorney fees. And he beat the federal government. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ryan breaks down the complete story — from the business collapse to the bankruptcy to the federal indictment to the courtroom victory that cost him everything financially but gave him his freedom. _____________________________________________ #fraud #TrueCrime #arrest _____________________________________________ Connect with Ryan Bloom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdbloom _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Early Life 01:52 Family Background and Childhood 03:23 College Dreams and Choosing a Career 04:44 Joining and Growing the Family Business 05:46 Family Infighting and Company's Downfall 06:34 New Start in Oil & Gas, Launching Own Business 07:46 Launching Pathfinder HDD and Business Pivot 08:22 Business Growth and Early Successes 09:14 Winning Big Contracts and Facing Setbacks 10:19 Losing Major Contracts and Transitioning to EV 11:16 Cash Flow Issues and Getting Hustled 13:06 Switching to Riskier Clients & Financial Mistakes 14:55 Survival Strategies and Bank Loans 16:46 Entering the Bank's Business Manager Program 19:09 Struggling with Loan Terms and Shrinking Cash Flow 23:32 Business Hits a Wall and Approaching Insolvency 26:00 Personal Consequences & Potential Bankruptcy 28:29 Winding Down Operations and Filing Bankruptcy 31:06 Bankruptcy Process and Asset Liquidation 35:51 Personal Impact and Family Resilience 39:03 Navigating Bankruptcy Exemptions 41:02 Life After Bankruptcy: Rebuilding 44:41 Facing Litigation and Bank's Aggressive Tactics 46:58 Legal Uncertainty and Approaching Discharge 50:02 Arrest by FBI and Shock of Indictment 54:41 Processing the Arrest and Immediate Aftermath 59:30 Public Reaction and Family Support 01:02:44 Beginning the Legal Battle 01:05:12 Prosecution's Case Building and Strange Accusations 01:10:01 Defending Against Fraud Allegations 01:17:01 Legal Strategy and Conflict of Interest 01:21:59 Superseding Indictment and Witness Tampering 01:27:53 Bank's Insurance Claim and Motivations for Prosecution 01:32:00 Preparing for Trial and Hiring Top Defense 01:39:13 Conflict of Interest, Disqualifying the Prosecutor 01:46:07 Case Dismissal and Pre-Trial Diversion 01:50:01 Financial Ruin and Emotional Toll 01:53:02 Life Lessons, Resilience, and Moving On 02:03:40 Advice on Integrity and Closing Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Success in business is rarely about one big breakthrough.More often, it's the result of hundreds of small decisions, years of consistency, and a willingness to keep growing long after you've figured out the basics.In this episode, Kelley sits down with Shauna Cooney of Shauna & Jordan Photography to talk about the journey of building a business alongside your spouse, navigating the challenges of leadership, and creating a life that feels just as fulfilling as the business you've worked so hard to build.Shauna shares how she went from a career in education to running a thriving destination photography business, the lessons she's learned from nearly a decade in the industry, and why continuing to invest in your growth never stops mattering.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is the reminder that success isn't one-size-fits-all.For some seasons, growth looks like booking more weddings. In others, it looks like creating more freedom, spending more time with family, building a stronger team, or creating systems that allow your business to support the life you actually want to live.We also dive into the realities of working with your spouse, learning how to lead well, letting go of control, and building trust as both business partners and life partners.If you've ever felt pulled between building a successful business and building a meaningful life, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that you don't have to choose between the two.The businesses we build should support the lives we want to live.The next round of The Luxury Mastermind will start in Fall 2026!

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Angelina Farella – That is why independent medicine matters. It matters when a doctor keeps the doors open, treats patients as individuals, and looks for root causes instead of just chasing symptoms.

Parent training is one of the most important parts of ABA, but it can quickly become overwhelming when families are given too much information, too many strategies, or expectations that do not fit into their daily lives. In this conversation, we share practical ways to make parent coaching more supportive, effective, and sustainable.We discuss the importance of listening first, identifying meaningful family goals, and focusing on one or two priorities at a time. Rather than expecting parents to implement complex programs, we explore how to teach skills that fit naturally into routines like mealtimes, transitions, and bedtime.We also talk about using behavioral skills training with parents, reducing jargon, creating quick wins, and recognizing signs of overwhelm before frustration sets in. Parent coaching works best when it is collaborative, flexible, and centered on what matters most to each family.When we focus on building confidence instead of perfection, parents are more likely to feel empowered, supported, and successful as they develop new skills alongside their children.What's Inside: How to prioritize meaningful parent goals without creating overwhelmWays to teach skills within everyday family routinesStrategies for building parent confidence through collaboration and quick winsMentioned in This Episode:Episode 133: The BST Model – Behavioral Skills TrainingHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Transitions are a natural part of life, but that does not make them easy. Whether a learner is moving from ABA services into school, transitioning to a new provider, entering adulthood, or adjusting to a different level of support, these changes can bring uncertainty, fear, and big emotions for everyone involved. In this conversation, we explore why transitions can feel overwhelming and how thoughtful planning can make them more successful for both learners and families.We discuss the importance of starting transition planning early, working backward from long-term goals, and focusing on the skills that will matter most in the next environment. We also share practical ways to support learners through gradual exposure, collaboration across teams, and meaningful opportunities to build independence. Just as importantly, we talk about supporting families with clear communication, compassion, and realistic expectations throughout the process.When transition planning is proactive, collaborative, and individualized, it helps learners move forward with greater confidence while giving families the support they need during times of change.What's Inside: Why transitions can be challenging for learners, families, and professionalsPractical strategies for smoother transitions across settings and stages of lifeHow early planning and collaboration lead to better long-term outcomesMentioned in This Episode:Episode 109: Autism Back to School AdviceHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Hoyt Richards spent over two decades in Eternal Values, after first meeting the man who called himself Frederick von Mierers on a beach at the age of 16. Bring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult, out now on HBO Max with episodes releasing weekly, explores Hoyts' journey alongside other actors and models of the era, and Hoyt has spent the years since his exit dedicated to educating people about the red flags to watch out for so that they don't ever have to go through the experience that he did.When Hoyt finally left Eternal Values, at the age of 37 and years after Freddie himself had died, it wasn't because he had realised it was a cult; he had hit rock bottom, felt like he wasn't up to the group's work and was letting everyone down. Until he reconnected with fellow former member, actor and filmmaker Dar Dixon, and they started examining their experiences more deeply together, he really didn't know exactly what had happened to him – even though cult accusations had been brought against the group for years.LinksBring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult — HBO MaxEast Side Alien — by Marie Brenner, Vanity Fair, March 1990Hoyt Richards IMDB profileCredits:Produced by Sarah SteelMusic by Joe GouldYou can support Let's Talk About Sects here.

Parent collaboration in ABA is more than regular updates or quick check-ins. It is about building real partnerships grounded in trust, empathy, and shared goals. We explore how shifting away from a “parent training” mindset can create stronger relationships and better outcomes for learners. From navigating difficult conversations to understanding family values and priorities, small changes in communication can make a major difference in how supported families feel.We also discuss practical strategies for creating meaningful collaboration, including scheduling noncontingent check-ins, listening before problem-solving, avoiding clinical jargon, and validating emotions during sensitive conversations. We share examples of how understanding the “why” behind a family's goals can help align treatment priorities while still staying ethical and learner-centered.When parents feel heard and respected, collaboration becomes easier, consistency improves across environments, and families feel more confident carrying strategies into daily life. Strong parent partnerships are not about having all the answers. They are about working together toward shared goals in a compassionate and sustainable way.What's Inside: How to move from parent training to true collaborationPractical communication strategies that build trust with familiesWays to navigate difficult conversations with empathy and clarityMentioned in This Episode:Episode 137: Parent Coaching/TrainingMastering Difficult Conversations: Building Confidence, Compassion, and Clarity in Communication CEUHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram
When we talk about cults, we tend to picture the ones that make headlines: isolated compounds, charismatic leaders, dramatic exits. But what about the church down the street? The one with the worship band and the small groups and the Instagram presence? In this episode, Sam Sellers and Elise Heerde, co-founders of the Religious Trauma Collective, talk about what happens when coercive control operates inside institutions that look, from the outside, like ordinary community. We also touch on evangelical support for Trump in the USA, and how Australia is not immune from those who would like to see a theocracy here.LinksReligious Trauma Collective — official websiteRTC Annual Online Event — running 19-21 June 2026Sam Sellers — Anchored Counselling ServicesElise Heerde — official websiteCredits:Produced by Sarah SteelMusic by Joe GouldYou can support Let's Talk About Sects here.

Roselyn Lizetter Higgins-Sparrow, hailing from Columbus, Ohio, and shaped by her formative years in Lynchburg, Virginia, offers a unique perspective on family dynamics and upbringing. Raised in a church-oriented home by her parents, Bevo and Darling Darlene Higgins Graham, Roselyn experienced a disciplined environment that was both nurturing and challenging. While she values the structure and strong values instilled by her upbringing, she also recognizes the importance of love and care, striving to balance these elements in her own family life. Her journey, marked by academic hurdles and personal growth, highlights her enduring belief in the significance of nurturing connections, especially amid life's inevitable hardships, as reflected in her family gatherings and relationships.(00:01:26) Dynamic Family Relationships in Lynchburg, Virginia(00:09:02) Impact of Trauma on Childhood Development(00:10:30) Impact of Neglect on Mental Health Outcomes(00:17:02) Sparrow Family Bonds: Marriage and Relationships(00:24:35) Impact of Family Dynamics on Support(00:35:08) Importance of Supportive Family Networks(00:43:00) Maternal and Generational Parenting Contrasts(00:46:49) Siblings' Influence on Roselyn's Upbringing(00:54:21) Cherishing Family Bonds During Thanksgiving Milestones

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.
