The Smurl Family Haunting This week, we dive deep into one of the most documented cases of demonic oppression in modern history - the Smurl haunting. We explore how a working-class Catholic family's dream of stability turned into a 14-year nightmare when they moved into a duplex in West Pittston, Pennsylvania in 1973. What started as subtle oddities like an impossible-to-clean carpet stain and a mysteriously exploding television quickly escalated into violent physical attacks, levitation, and encounters with shadowy figures that would test the family's faith to its breaking point. We discuss the role of the infamous Ed and Lorraine Warren, who documented weeks of paranormal activity, including physical assaults, sexual encounters with demonic entities, and the presence of multiple spirits alongside a powerful demon.

Donna Adelson's Family Turns: Inside the Explosive Testimony from Her Own Children In this gripping breakdown, we dive into the raw courtroom moments that could define the fate of Donna Adelson—testimony not from prosecutors or hired experts, but from her own children. Defense Attorney and Former Prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski to dissect the emotionally charged statements from Robert and Wendy Adelson, revealing a family dynamic that's anything but united. Robert came across as blunt, clinical, and disturbingly honest about his mother's controlling nature, while Wendy played the “I don't remember” card with an Olympic level of consistency. What does it mean when your own children don't defend you—or worse, distance themselves entirely? Eric breaks down how jurors digest this kind of testimony, and whether these cracks in the family's public image translate into hard evidence in court. Is it character assassination… or a clear window into Donna's true influence? This episode pulls apart the psychology, strategy, and possible consequences of this damaging testimony—and what it could mean as the trial heads into even darker territory.

Disempowered to Empowered: Meltdowns, Boundaries & Donuts In this heartfelt episode, Patricia (she/her) shares three powerful personal stories that highlight the challenges—and wins—that come with being a sensitive, creative, neurodivergent human. From navigating family dynamics around living arrangements, to reclaiming power after a disempowering volunteer experience, and even exploring the emotional depth behind a simple craving for an apple fritter, Patricia offers an intimate and validating glimpse into what it's like to be an AuDHDer who feels things deeply—and still chooses to show up. KEY TAKEAWAYS · You don't need to justify your needs. “They don't have to understand why I need two months. I just do.” · High masking + high empathy often = emotional invisibility. You're not alone if you feel overlooked or undervalued. · Internalizers often seem fine while falling apart inside—naming your pain out loud is a radical act of self-love. · Disempowerment doesn't mean you're weak. It often comes from past trauma, sensory overload, or lack of support. · Communication isn't always immediate. It's okay if clarity or assertiveness comes a day (or three) later. · There's no such thing as “too sensitive”—just systems that weren't built for your needs. HIGHLIGHTS · Patricia emphasizes the importance of asserting one's needs without feeling apologetic. · She shares her experience of feeling disempowered in family dynamics and how she navigated that. · The conversation highlights the challenges of communication in relationships, especially for neurodivergent individuals. · Patricia discusses the significance of volunteering and how it contributes to her sense of empowerment. · She reflects on the internal struggles (and unrealistic desire) of wanting others to understand her needs without explicit communication. · The importance of processing emotions and taking time to understand one's feelings is emphasized. · Patricia shares her journey of finding strength in her volunteering experience with horses. · She discusses the impact of trauma on her ability to communicate effectively. · The conversation touches on the theme of sensitivity being a unique aspect of one's identity, not something to apologize for. · Patricia encourages listeners to embrace their sensitivity and understand its value. SOUND BITES "I need to have a meltdown." "It's my responsibility." "I felt seen and I felt heard." "I think we've learned to just detach from our feelings, to dissociate, and go along to get along—but it just doesn't work for us anymore." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. TOPICS COVERED · Autistic meltdowns & internal regulation: How Patricia recognized an impending meltdown and advocated for space and support. · Family boundaries & accommodation: The emotional toll of giving up a beloved workspace, and the grief that often goes unseen. · Losing & reclaiming joy: When creative hobbies fade and space feels scarce, how do you reconnect with yourself? · Assertiveness without apology: Speaking up about needs, even when it's hard, awkward, or overdue. · Feeling invisible in groups: Disempowerment during horse volunteer training and the journey to feeling confident and capable again. · Processing delays & trauma: Why it sometimes takes days to realize something didn't feel okay—and that's valid. · The donut story (yes, it matters): What a pastry can teach us about needs, unmet expectations, and healthy communication. · Relational repair & emotional safety: The delicate dance of vulnerability, misunderstanding, and being met with care. · The problem with people-pleasing: When masking and fawning keep you from honoring your own feelings. · What sensitivity really means: Reframing neurodivergent traits as strengths, not flaws. PODCAST HOST Patricia (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: twww.unapologeticallysensitive.com LINKS To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Podcast UnapologeticallyAuDHD-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

Cutting your budget doesn't have to mean cutting joy out of your life. With a bit of creativity and intention, you can save money while still enjoying what truly matters. Here's how to bring more purpose—and even fun—into your spending plan.Before diving into practical steps, begin with prayer. Ask God to help you cultivate contentment, because wise spending starts with a heart that trusts Him. As Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Budgeting isn't just about numbers; it's about aligning your heart with gratitude for what God has already provided.1. Try a “Pantry Challenge” MonthCommit to eating what you already have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry for an entire month. You'll reduce grocery spending and uncover forgotten items—maybe even a few surprises. Free apps like SuperCook or Cooklist can help you find creative recipes using your existing ingredients, turning the challenge into a fun family adventure.2. Create a Family Fun FundEntertainment doesn't have to be expensive. Set a monthly cap for fun activities and get the whole family involved in choosing them. One week could be a hike and picnic at the park; another, a cozy movie night at home with popcorn and dollar-store candy. This approach teaches that joy isn't tied to a price tag.3. Swap Babysitting with Another FamilyChildcare can be costly, but community is a gift. Partner with another family you trust to take turns watching each other's kids. One week, you get a date night, the next they do—and no one spends a dime. You'll save money, build relationships, and create margin in your budget.4. Take On One Service YourselfPick one recurring expense and try handling it yourself for a season—such as washing the car, mowing the lawn, or grooming the dog. You may save more than you expect and even gain a new skill or appreciation for the task.5. Declare a Monthly “No-Spend” WeekendChoose one weekend a month to spend nothing beyond the essentials. Use the time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy free or low-cost activities, such as playing board games, going for a hike, or visiting the library. Turn it into a family challenge by deciding together how to use the extra savings for giving, saving, or a future treat.6. Practice the 30-Day RuleWhen tempted by a big purchase—like a gadget or appliance—write it down with the date and wait 30 days. If you still want it and it fits the budget after a month, you can move forward with confidence. More often than not, the urge will pass, and you'll keep your money where it belongs.None of these ideas is earth-shattering—and that's the beauty of them. Real transformation often comes from small, consistent decisions: choosing contentment over consumption, planning over impulse. Each intentional step strengthens your financial stewardship and, even more importantly, your trust in God.When your kids see you making wise choices, they learn the importance of being a good steward. When your spouse feels included, it builds unity. And when you invite God into your day-to-day financial decisions—even the small ones—you'll see His faithfulness in significant ways.A Tool to Help You Stay on Track: The FaithFi AppIf you're ready to take the next step in intentional budgeting, the FaithFi app is a great place to start.

Are you worried that partnering with family in real estate will strain your relationships? In this episode, I sit down with Annchen Knodt, a neuroscience researcher who joined my STR Accelerator program during its very first beta launch. Annchen's story is a powerful example of how building an Airbnb business with family can work—even when things get messy. She opens up about the reality of partnering with her parents: the disagreements that got heated, what it felt like to be outvoted, and the boundaries they created to protect family dinners from turning into business meetings. Annchen also faced another challenge—having a spouse who wasn't sold on the time and energy she was putting into real estate investing. She shares the loneliness of being the only one in her circle excited about Airbnb and short-term rentals, and how finding a community of like-minded women gave her the courage to keep moving forward. From waking up early to analyze deals before heading into the lab, to answering Airbnb guest messages between experiments, Annchen's dedication shows what's possible when you refuse to let excuses hold you back. She even reveals the breakthrough moment she realized she was much closer to financial freedom than she thought. Her journey proves that success in Airbnb and real estate isn't always about scaling fast or building an empire—it's about creating a business that supports the life you truly want. With the right systems, boundaries, and support, both family and business can thrive side by side. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS: [01:06] A short introduction about our guest Annchen Knodt and what she does outside the short-term rental space [05:38] Annchen shares how she overcame the common fear of partnerships especially when working with her parents [08:59] Annchen recounts the process of deciding to sell one of the long-term properties she co-owned with her parents in Texas [11:11] How a major challenge tested Annchen's family partnership and revealed the importance of balancing values with business decisions [14:45] Annchen shares how blending business with family creates harmony rather than conflict [17:30] Annchen opens up about the challenges of pursuing real estate when her spouse shows little interest and how she found strength through community and mindset [21:44] How accountability pods provided the structure, support, and community Annchen needed to set goals, stay consistent, and feel less alone in her real estate journey [26:20] How redefining success beyond rapid portfolio growth allowed Annchen to embrace financial independence more holistically and prioritize family, passive investing, and a fuller life [30:05] Annchen shares how embracing pivots and diversification clarified her dream life, strengthened harmony at home, and renewed her joy in the process [35:59] How finding and building community has been essential for overcoming isolation in real estate investing and hosting [38:02] The lightning round Golden Nuggets: “Life is way too short not to enjoy what you're doing.” “If you really want to achieve something that's beyond your comfort zone, that's pushing the boundaries of what you've done in the past.” “At the end of the day, living your best life is knowing what you want.” “Look for a coaching program. Join a coaching program. It's always worth the investment. Talk to other people who are already in the program to get some feedback. From them, you can learn pretty quickly whether it's worth the investment.” “Live below your means, something that I had been taught growing up, basically, but it's what's put me in the position, to be able to invest fairly early in life, and then to be able to achieve financial independence fairly early in life.” Enjoyed the show?

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into the complex and controversial legacy of Dr. James Dobson, following news of his recent passing. Best known for founding Focus on the Family, Dobson shaped evangelical family culture for decades through radio, books, and discipleship materials like Adventures in Odyssey and McGee and Me. But his legacy is far from one-dimensional. Nathan and Cameron unpack Dobson's theological influence, his disciplinary advice, and his increasingly political stance—from early cultural engagement to vocal support for Donald Trump. This nuanced conversation explores how Dobson became both a hero of Christian family values and a villain in the eyes of many exvangelicals. For Christians seeking serious theological reflection on how faith intersects with politics, parenting, and cultural engagement, this is a must-listen. Join Nathan and Cameron as they wrestle with Dobson's impact—both the good and the harmful—and what it means for the Church moving forward.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

This Labor Day, President Trump is touting a manufacturing comeback. He's highlighting auto companies and big-name corporations investing more in U.S. production. But critics argue many of those plans were in motion before he took office, and union leaders accuse him of being the “biggest union buster.” Presidential historian and senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute, Tevi Troy, joins the Rundown to break down the politics of labor and what's next for unions in America. For those with spinal cord injuries, it seems your entire life can change in an instant. After her freak skiing accident decades ago, Amanda Boxtel is doing better than just getting by. She's become one of the first people to start using an exoskeleton for mobility and has founded Bridging Bionics—a nonprofit that aims to provide free or affordable mobility solutions so that those who are paralyzed may walk again.

Dr. Beth Lorance joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discover how a high school coach gave one of his players expensive gifts, things her mother had refused to buy, with the mom posting online asking what to do, not realizing she was witnessing grooming behavior that creates the same vulnerabilities traffickers exploit in trusted spaces throughout our communities. Dr. Beth Lorance Dr. Beth Lorance is an adjunct professor at Vanguard University, where she teaches Family Violence and has also taught Introduction to Psychology and Psychology of the Family. She earned her PsyD in Clinical Psychology and previously served as the director of Vanguard's counseling center. In addition to her academic background, Beth is a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God, which allows her to bring both psychological expertise and theological insight into conversations about abuse, trauma, and healing. Her passion is deeply personal, rooted in her own family history of child sexual abuse, and she is committed to equipping others to use their voices to prevent abuse, protect the vulnerable, and walk alongside survivors. Beth also works to bring awareness into the church, encouraging faith communities to reflect Jesus' response to victims and to take seriously the call to protect those who are most vulnerable. Key Points Family violence creates deep vulnerabilities by teaching children harmful lessons that love is transactional, they're not enough, and there's something wrong with them that they can't overcome - wounds that become embedded in their brain chemistry when trauma happens at a young age. Traffickers don't create vulnerabilities but rather exploit existing wounds from family abuse, stepping into unmet needs and exploiting lessons already learned about intimacy being tied to exploitation. Statistics reveal that 90% of abusers are known to their victims with only 10% being strangers, and 31% of traffickers are actually family members of the victim, making "stranger danger" education insufficient. Grooming is a process of control and manipulation that builds trust, chips away boundaries, and creates dependency so victims willingly comply when lines are crossed into inappropriate behavior because they've been normalized to the perpetrator's actions. Training is essential for leaders, staff, pastors, volunteers, and teachers to recognize grooming signs like expensive gift-giving, requests for secrecy, and isolating language such as "your parents don't understand you, but I do." Clear boundaries and policies are crucial, including no one-on-one supervision between adults and children, with swift consequences when policies aren't followed to prevent grooming opportunities. Children need to be empowered to say no even to trusted adults, with parents and leaders respecting their boundaries and teaching them about "tricky people" rather than just strangers. Trauma-informed communities must stop asking "what's wrong with you?" and instead listen without judgment, sitting with broken people without requiring them to change or behave in prescribed ways to receive care. Parents should be vigilant about adults in their children's lives, knowing what interactions look like and requiring that any adult who wants to be friends with their child must be friends with the parent first. Breaking the cycle requires communities that believe victims, provide someone to stand up for those who can't yet stand up for themselves, and create new family structures when biological families fail to protect.
