Podcasts about family dynamics

EP:148 Hey there! In this episode, I'm getting real about the challenges of being a mom, managing family expectations, and learning to prioritize myself. My son Eli's baseball journey threw me into a whirlwind of decisions this summer. I had to choose between a family vacation and supporting his All-Stars team, which wasn't easy. I'm sharing my raw experience of feeling pulled between family demands, my children's needs, and my own mental health. Those moments of people-pleasing? I've been there, and I'm done with letting others' opinions dictate my choices. This episode is all about the courage it takes to set boundaries, make tough decisions, and stay true to yourself. I'll walk you through how I navigated this crazy month - from juggling my in-laws' visit, a quick family trip, Eli's tournament, and camp preparations. It's a vulnerable look at how I'm learning to regulate my emotions, make decisions that serve me and my family, and stop trying to make everyone else happy at my own expense. And bonus? I'm introducing our new Regulation Reset Collective and our first mini-course on people-pleasing. Trust me, you don't want to miss this conversation about reclaiming your power and living authentically. Let's do this! #MomLife #BoundariesAreBeautiful #selfcarejourney Ready to break free from people-pleasing? Join our Regulation Reset Collective NOW! DM me "RESET" to get started and unlock your first mini-course. Your future self will thank you!

Step aside Law & Order - this is the real story. In this episode of WATG?, we sit down with Michael Dowd, the notorious former NYPD officer at the center of the jaw-dropping documentary The Seven Five. From shaking down drug dealers to ending up on Joe Rogan's couch (after serving 13 years in federal prison), Dowd holds nothing back. It's a gritty, hilarious, and brutally honest ride through greed, corruption, redemption, and regret - all delivered with that unmistakable New York sarcasm that says, “Don't worry, kid, we'll show you where the Empire State Building is, but we're judging you the whole time.”Expect wild stories about pocketing coke, losing his badge, pissing off Joe Rogan, and almost getting punked by a New York Times therapist. This episode dives deep into the fine art of racketeering, dirty money, and the blurry line between good cop and bad guy - all told by the guy who lived it.

Welcome to R&R: Revisit & Reflect, a new episode format here on the podcast. We're living in a time of information abundance (sometimes information overload) and lots of that information is about mental health and relational health! But there's a difference between consuming content and integrating it. When we consume, the information might just pass through us, whereas when we integrate, the information weaves its way into our unique story or situation, creating insight and the potential for a shift in mindset, in emotion, in belief, and in behavior. With these R&R episodes, you'll reflect and journal with Dr. Alexandra to integrate core lessons from the podcast, starting with today's conversation from the archive with the inimitable relationship expert Esther Perel. They explore relational ambivalence and how to reignite the spark inside your relationship, and within yourself, inspired by a listener's question. So, get out your favorite pen and journal and join in this summer reflection. You'll come away from this episode with:A deeper understanding of the importance of rituals in maintaining connection amidst life's challengesA new perspective on the impact of external circumstances on anxiety in your relationships.The ability to recognize and respond to your partner's bids for connection.A framework for self-reflection with actionable journaling prompts to enhance intimacy.Journaling Prompts:How do the macro issues of the world shape your love life today? To what degree are you able to give yourself permission for play and pleasure, even as the world feels so hard? What allows you to do that?In the clip, Esther reminds us that if you don't know how to turn yourself on, there's nothing your partner can do to turn you on. How are you finding ways to connect to your own aliveness? What are some things you can do this week, just for you, that could reinvigorate your internal spark? This could include engaging with nature, art, food, movement, or play.In this clip, Esther and Dr. Alexandra talk about how for a couple to create an experience together, one partner is the initiator and one is the responder. These roles aren't fixed, but which role do you do you tend to find yourself in more? What do you like about being in each position, and what's hard about each of them?“Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefreshCouple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandraOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could talk to my younger self, what vital lessons would I share about fatherhood?" "Is my 'tough guy' exterior actually holding me back from truly connecting with my kids?" "What does it really mean to lead my family with emotional authenticity?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an unfiltered, insight-packed conversation that hits at the very heart of modern fatherhood: modeling emotional openness, prioritizing genuine connection, and reimagining what leadership truly looks like at home. Today, Larry Hagner sits across the table from his son Ethan Hagner. Their deeply touching exchange is a powerful reminder of how universal the struggles of growing up and parenting really are, driven by Larry's determination to provide a steady, affectionate home—a stark contrast to his own chaotic upbringing. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this unfiltered, insight-packed conversation, we dig into: Asking for Help as a Strength: Why vulnerability and reaching out for support are ultimate acts of courage, challenging the traditional "tough guy" parenting narrative. Empathy Over Solutions: Ethan shares his journey learning to be a better listener, especially in his relationship with his girlfriend, recognizing that people often want understanding and empathy more than immediate fixes. The Power of Authentic Connection: Larry and Ethan emphasize that genuine presence and open communication are direct drivers of influence in the home, making attempts to motivate or discipline kids far more effective. The "Marriage-First" Household: A candid discussion on the profound difference a strong, loving parental relationship makes in children's development and present-day family life, even if it means "grossing the kids out with love." Don't Hold It In: The crucial message to express pain, stress, and affection openly, allowing your family to see the full, real you for true psychological safety and peace. This episode offers profound wisdom and practical takeaways for any dad looking to build a legacy of emotional health and connection. Here's what research and observation highlight about emotional openness in families: Children raised in homes with high parental emotional openness report a 35% increase in emotional intelligence and resilience. Parental modeling of asking for help is correlated with a 40% higher likelihood of children seeking support when needed, reducing feelings of isolation. Families in which parents prioritize and visibly demonstrate a strong marriage report children with 25% higher levels of emotional security and social adjustment. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

In this episode of the Fitness League, hosts Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle discuss the transformative experience of cold plunging, the challenges of balancing parenting with personal wellness, and the importance of maintaining in-person community connections. They share personal anecdotes about their experiences with cold plunges, the benefits of tracking recovery through heart rate variability (HRV), and the complexities of navigating social media as entrepreneurs. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communication within family dynamics and the need to prioritize mental health during busy seasons of life. Takeaways: Cold plunging can be a transformative experience. The cold is a tool for mental and physical resilience. Maintaining in-person community connections is vital for mental health. Balancing parenting and work requires clear communication. It's important to prioritize self-care and mental health. Social media can be both a tool and a distraction. Tracking recovery metrics like HRV can provide insights into wellness. Seasons of life require different priorities and boundaries. It's okay to say no to social obligations for personal well-being. Creating a supportive network can enhance personal and professional growth.   APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Cold Plunge Challenge 02:46 The Experience of Cold Plunging 05:49 Adrenaline and Cold Plunge Dynamics 08:40 The Aftermath: Energy and Recovery 11:20 Data Insights: HRV and Cold Exposure 14:56 Parenting Insights and Lessons Learned 17:55 Navigating Parenting Challenges 19:09 Family Connections and Nature 23:41 The Importance of Digital Detox 29:18 Balancing Work and Family Life 35:10 Communicating Needs in Parenting 40:55 Reflections on Family Dynamics

Navigating family relationships when you disagree with your family's church choice is one of the most challenging situations Christians face. Pastor Heath Lambert provides biblical wisdom for this delicate balance between family loyalty and theological convictions. Using the framework of theological triage, this episode helps believers understand when to compromise, when to stand firm, and how love should guide every decision in church conflicts.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Family Church Dilemma0:39 - The Question: Attending Unbiblical Churches for Family Unity1:49 - Why This Question Matters: Children and Family Dynamics2:51 - Understanding Biblical vs Unbiblical: Not All Errors Are Equal3:06 - Theological Triage: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Issues4:05 - Primary Issues: Salvation-Essential Doctrines4:55 - Secondary Issues: Important but Not Salvation-Critical5:16 - Baptism Example: Baptist vs Presbyterian Practices6:46 - Tertiary Issues: End Times and Christian Disagreements8:17 - The Law of Love: 1 John 4:7 as the Ultimate Guide8:53 - Pride vs Conviction: Testing Our Motivations9:26 - When Love Means Compromise vs When Love Means Standing Firm10:13 - Final Answer: It Depends on Error Type and Love's DirectionKEY POINTSThe Reality of Family Church Conflicts: Christians often find themselves where their theological convictions differ from their family's church choice, creating tension between honoring family and maintaining biblical faithfulness.Theological Triage Framework: Not all biblical errors are equally serious. Churches can be "unbiblical" in different ways requiring different responses - understanding this hierarchy helps believers respond appropriately.Primary Issues - Salvation Essential: Doctrines so central that denying them prevents salvation, like salvation by grace through faith alone. Churches with primary errors should generally be avoided regardless of family pressure.Secondary Issues - Important but Not Salvation-Critical: Matters affecting church practice but not salvation, like baptism methods. Faithful Christians can disagree while remaining in fellowship.Tertiary Issues - Ongoing Christian Disagreements: Matters where good Christians disagree until Christ returns, like millennium details. These shouldn't divide churches or families.The Law of Love as the Ultimate Test: Love for both family and God must guide decisions. Love sometimes requires compromise on preferences, other times demands taking a stand for essential truth.Submit your questions for future episodes to MarkedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES1 John 4:7 - "Beloved, let us love one another" - The law of love as the guiding principle for all theological and relational decisionsActs 5:29 - "We must obey God rather than men" - Referenced principle for when obedience to God requires standing against family pressure

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, military veteran, former private contractor, anti-piracy operator, and bodyguard, prison and health industry reform activist, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel called ‘Survivor's Story, men's trauma and sexual abuse advocate, and the wolf in the lion's den roaring in the face of evil: Daniel In case you are new here or if you missed Daniel's outstanding first episode, here's a brief recap: Born into an expatriate family in Nigeria, Daniel's childhood was a facade of privilege masking deep fear and neglect. Surrounded by wealth and walls, an inexplicable terror haunted him, rooted in experiences he couldn't yet name.As a young man, Daniel poured his intensity into a high-stakes career in security and military service, excelling in elite forces, private contracting in the Middle East, anti-piracy missions off Somalia, and protecting high-profile figures. But beneath his capable exterior simmered self-loathing, rage, and suicidal thoughts he couldn't explain. Disillusioned by the greed driving his military work, he turned to a spiritual quest, diving into personal development and somatic therapy with fierce commitment.In 2020, a seismic shift occurred. Through holistic therapies, repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse - rape and torture by multiple perpetrators - erupted in visceral flashbacks, plunging Daniel into psychosis and paranoia. Forgiveness became his lifeline. Initially resistant, fearing it betrayed those who suffered with him, Daniel embraced it as liberation, not absolution. By severing ties with his abusers and setting firm boundaries, he found safety to forgive from afar, transforming resentment into love. Through relentless psychological work, he integrated his trauma with purpose.Now, Daniel channels his pain into advocacy through his podcast, Survivors Story, uplifting men's healing and amplifying survivors' voices. He stands resolute, inspiring others - especially men - to break the silence around male child sexual abuse. Danie's message is clear: “Chains will be broken.”Today, we plunge deeper into Daniel's story post-revelation. We'll navigate his high-stakes clashes with the law, his struggles against a callous medical system, and the intricate family ties survivors must untangle to break free. Daniel will continue to unveil his path to healing, stitching together shattered memories while rooted in unyielding faith. A modern-day hero, he wields truth, compassion, and resilience as weapons to reclaim his power. The boy his abusers tried to destroy has risen as the leader he once needed - a living, breathing miracle. Daniel's story ignites a powerful truth through living example: abuse survivors, against all odds, can rise from the ashes of their pain, forging unbreakable spirits that light the way for others to heal and triumph.CONNECT WITH DANIEL:YouTube: @SurvivorsStory - YouTube:​⁠ - https://youtube.com/@survivorsstory?si=6_2N0bYnW_Kq9ixz Website: https://survivors-story.com/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Send us a textThe Valley-Sobriety, Surveillance & ServedPodcast Summary: The Valley S2 E10 – “You've Been Served”This explosive episode picks up with Jax fresh out of rehab, claiming 30 days of therapy has changed him—yet his actions say otherwise. He's outraged that no one visited, especially after discovering his bar was renamed "Britt's" in his absence. He returns home to find his belongings in trash bags and declares the house must be sold, saying Britney doesn't need that much space.Meanwhile, Jesse tries to warn Jax about slipping back into old habits, but Jax insists he's changed—just not enough to quit drinking. He confronts his friends at a party thrown for Benji, where his rage flares again during a tense argument with Zack about parenting, cameras, and Brittany.Elsewhere, Michelle is dealing with her mother's declining health and clashes with Jesse over letting their daughter see her grandmother. Danny and Nia debate fertility treatments and upgrading their home, while Luke secretly plans a proposal for Kristen under the guise of a group trip to Maui.Back at Jesse's party, things erupt as Janet confronts Nia over Danny's drinking, while Jax stirs more conflict, insisting he's been wronged. Later, Brittany tearfully prepares to serve Jax with divorce papers—unbeknownst to him until they arrive at his condo. In a twist of irony, the moment is captured by Daily Mail.On Watch What Happens Live, a fiery-faced Jax joins Schwartz to explain himself—apologizing publicly, confirming his sobriety, and admitting his biggest regret is not ending things with Brittany sooner.TakeawaysJax's claims about his rehab experience are questionable.The dynamics of Jax's relationships are strained and complex.Communication issues arise in co-parenting situations.Addiction often has underlying mental health issues.Jax's denial about his drinking problem is concerning.The group dynamics can shift focus away from Jax's issues.Danny's behavior is scrutinized by the group.The surprise party highlights social interactions among friends.Jax's accountability is challenged by his friends.The role of production in shaping the narrative is significant. Reality TV often distorts friendships and character perceptions.Public figures face backlash for their actions on reality shows.Slander can have serious implications in personal relationships.Rehab experiences can vary greatly and impact personal accountability.Divorce proceedings can reveal deeper family dynamics.Public image management is crucial for reality TV personalities.Burner accounts can lead to public embarrassment.Future family planning requires careful consideration of living situations.Supportive friendships can help navigate difficult personal situations.Interviews can backfire if not handled with care.Volleybird Subscription BoxesVolleybird.shop for curated pickleball subscription boxes delivered every 8 weeksSupport the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Author Katia Ariel tells the story of Ephraim Finch, a man synonymous with death in the Melbourne Jewish community. He started life as Geoffrey William, the son of a butcher, who would go on to become a master builder before his life became unrecognisable to him.Several years ago, Melbourne author and book editor, Katia was invited to write Ephraim's biography.Katia was already familiar with his name.She had seen the way mourners uttered his name and felt a sense of calm and ease within their sorrow, because they trusted Ephraim as a master of death who would know how to lead them through the world of mourning.Ephraim started life as Geoffrey William Finch, the son of a butcher in the working class suburb of Ashfield in Sydney in the 1940s. He learned his love of reading from his pop, who would come home from his job at the abattoir and read Oscar Wilde's work over a cigar on the porch. From a young age Ephraim felt an ineffable pull toward monotheism and converted to Judaism, along with his wife, Cas, after the pair met as teenagers at the Wagga Wagga Royal Show.Eventually he was drawn to his vocation — the sacred and quiet ritual of preparing bodies for burial. And he became the go-to man in Melbourne, where over his career he has buried more than 10,000 people.Further informationFerryman: The life and deathwork of Ephraim Finch is published by Wild Dingo Press.Katia's first book, a memoir is called The Swift Dark Tide, published by Gazebo Books.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison. This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.This episode of Conversations touches on death, grief, mourning, burial, Judaism, Jewish, chevra kadisha, Ephraim Finch, Melbourne, Orthodox Judaism, conversion, Jewish conversion, Wagga Wagga, Herman Wouk, deathwork, funerals, epic life stories, origin stories, loss, reflection and biography.

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could go back, what advice would I give my younger self?" "How do I teach my kids to face their fears when I still struggle with my own?" "Is true strength about bottling things up, or asking for help?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an honest, funny, and deeply touching exchange that reminds us how universal the struggles of growing up—and parenting—really are. Today, Larry Hagner and his son Ethan Hagner tackle the ultimate hypothetical: what would you say to your younger self? Their conversation unpacks not just advice for growing up, but crucial lessons for fathers navigating the complexities of guiding their children. Ethan Hagner candidly admits to being an anxious and introverted kid. Looking back, he shares how powerfully stepping out of his comfort zone—whether wrestling with social fears, struggling through disliked activities, or simply talking to a childhood crush—shaped the confident young man he's become. Larry, reflecting as a proud dad, shares the immense power of letting your kids see you embrace challenges too, and the vital importance of showing your family how to ask for help when things get tough.

Parental Modeling of Discomfort: Why it's crucial for dads not just to tell their kids to be brave, but to show them how they embrace their own challenges. Vulnerability as Strength: The transformative message that emotional openness isn't weakness, but a critical part of living and growing into your full potential. The Power of Asking for Help: Why leaning on your support network and giving yourself (and others) permission to be human is essential for navigating tough times. Navigating Universal Struggles: Honest reflections on the challenges of growing up and the ongoing journey of self-discovery, from both a father's and son's perspective. Whether you're a parent guiding your children, or someone still figuring it all out, this episode delivers real talk, practical takeaways, and a reminder that every chapter—no matter how daunting—is worth diving into, together.

Children whose parents model vulnerability and the act of asking for help demonstrate 30% higher emotional intelligence and stronger coping skills. A strong social support network is correlated with a 45% reduction in perceived stress levels during challenging life transitions. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

Are you the next-generation leader ready to take the reins of your family business, only to find the current generation won't let go? Then this episode is for you! Andrea and Michelle tackle the number one challenge facing family businesses: navigating the transition of power.   Discover the unspoken fears and habits that hold the current generation back, from losing their identity to doubting the next generation's readiness.

Have you ever asked yourself: "I bring home the check, I do chores... why is my wife still overwhelmed and distant?" "What is this 'mental load' she talks about, and why don't I see it?" "How can I truly partner with her, instead of just 'helping'?" If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "But I am helping!" or "She's upset but I have no idea why," this episode will give you the X-ray vision you've been missing. Because what's wearing her out isn't always what's on your radar—it's the things you never even thought about. Here's the truth most men miss: providing financially is one form of leadership—but emotional labor is the currency she's drowning in. And if you don't see it, you're likely part of the reason she feels alone in the mission. This episode is your wake-up call. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Invisible Labor vs. Physical Effort: Understand the critical difference. Physical labor is what you see (dishes, yardwork, laundry). Invisible labor is the mental burden she carries: managing the family calendar, remembering RSVPs, planning meals, tracking groceries, anticipating everyone's emotional needs. She's exhausted that she had to remember it in the first place, not just that you didn't do the thing. Why Your Wife Feels Like She's Doing It All (Even When You're Helping): Most men step in reactively, not proactively. When you wait to be told what to do, you're reinforcing her role as the default parent, default planner, default everything. If you've heard or sensed, "I feel like the only adult in this house," this is the root cause. How to Show Leadership at Home (Without Being Controlling): You're not a passive assistant; you're a co-leader. Leadership means taking initiative with empathy. Learn proactive phrases like, "What's something I can fully own without being asked?" or "I'll handle the kids' end-of-year school stuff." The 2-Minute Audit: How to Find What She Resents Without Asking Her Directly: Every week, take two minutes to ask yourself five key questions: What has she had to ask me more than once? What mental task have I seen her doing that I've never offered to take on? If I got sick for a week, what would stop? If she got sick for a week, what would collapse? What do I expect her to “just handle” because I'm used to it? Your attention to what she's carrying is the answer—and the invitation to step up. This episode will challenge you to redefine "helping" and step into true co-leadership at home. Here's what research and observation highlight about emotional labor in relationships: Studies show that women typically take on 60-80% of the invisible labor in households, leading to higher rates of burnout. Marriages where the emotional load is perceived as unequally distributed have a 45% higher risk of marital dissatisfaction. Couples who actively practice shared responsibility for planning and mental tasks report a 30% increase in relationship satisfaction and feelings of partnership.   www.thedadedge.com/friday212 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

Have you ever asked yourself: "How do I teach my kids accountability when I'm not always perfect myself?" "Does admitting my mistakes actually make me a weaker dad?" "What does it truly take to build unbreakable trust with my children?" If these questions resonate, get ready for a raw and honest conversation that dives deep into one of the most vital lessons dads can teach: extreme ownership. Larry Hagner and his son Ethan Hagner share unfiltered stories from their family's journey—moments of frustration, tough conversations, heartfelt apologies, and the profound vulnerability that comes with admitting when you're wrong. Together, they explore why modeling accountability as a father doesn't diminish your credibility; it fundamentally builds trust and earns lasting respect. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this powerful conversation, we dig into: The Counterintuitive Power of Apology: Larry recounts difficult parenting seasons, including struggles with anger and the immense pressure to be a "perfect" dad, and how genuine apologies transformed those moments. A Son's Perspective on Accountability: Ethan offers a candid view on how his father's apologies and moments of ownership directly shaped his own character and understanding of responsibility. Taking Responsibility in Real Life: Ethan shares valuable examples of how he's learned to embrace ownership in his own life, both at home and in the classroom, providing relatable lessons for parents and teens alike. Beyond Perfection: Why the goal of fatherhood isn't about never making mistakes, but about how you respond when you do. Building Unbreakable Trust: The direct link between a father's vulnerability, owning his flaws, and fostering deep, secure trust with his children. This episode delivers authentic wisdom and reassurance, reminding every dad (and future dad) out there that perfection isn't the goal—connection and growth are. Here's what research and observation highlight about parental accountability and child development: Children whose parents model admitting mistakes and apologizing have 40% higher levels of empathy and a stronger sense of personal responsibility. Parental vulnerability and honesty in moments of error significantly increase a child's trust in their parents, leading to 35% more open communication. Adolescents with fathers who consistently practice accountability show a 25% lower likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind
