Why do people who “try the hardest” in relationships often end up feeling unseen, resentful, or stuck in situationships? In this episode, Sabrina breaks down how people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and anxious attachment patterns quietly sabotage intimacy. Drawing from psychology, attachment theory, and trauma research, she explains why fawning is not love but a nervous-system survival response, and how suppressing your needs leads to emotional disconnection, resentment, and unhealthy power dynamics in dating and relationships. This episode dives deep into boundaries, self-abandonment, and why being willing to walk away is the most underrated relationship skill no one teaches you. Sabrina explores how fear of abandonment, low self-worth, and childhood conditioning keep people stuck accepting breadcrumbs, avoiding conflict, and performing for love. If you're struggling with anxious attachment, people-pleasing, situationships, or feeling lonely inside a relationship, this conversation offers neuroscience-backed insight and practical tools to help you stop losing yourself and start building secure, authentic connection. If you're ready to slow down, trust your instincts, and break your old dating patterns, the Healthy Relationship Foundations Course walks you through it step-by-step  HERE! If you're serious about changing your dating patterns instead of repeating them, the Art of Going Slow course helps you unlearn urgency, regulate your nervous system, and build real connection without rushing, chasing, or abandoning yourself HERE!

Join the EDIS Free Community here: https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday Why do so many Christians still live cautiously, quietly, and afraid—when they claim that Jesus Christ lives inside them? In this episode, I unpack a conversation that made me stop and think about fear, faith, and identity. I share why I don't operate with fear of failure or fear of looking foolish—and why that mindset should be normal for believers, not rare. This isn't about arrogance, recklessness, or hype. It's about understanding what it actually means to believe Christ lives in you—and how fear often disguises itself as wisdom, comfort, or “playing it safe.” If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, or unsure about stepping forward in your calling, this episode will challenge you to rethink how fear has been shaping your faith. Topics covered: – Why cultural Christianity produces cautious believers – Fear of people vs. trust in God – When “being wise” is really just fear in disguise – What fearless faith looks like in real life This episode is for anyone who believes in God—but wants to start living like it. Join our free group and get in the best shape – financially, physically and spiritually –  of your life. https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday

Why does the brain associate weight loss with dying, and what happens when you stop fighting your body and flip the brain instead? Josh Trent welcomes Weight Loss Expert, David Zappasodi, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 792, to reveal why weight gain is often a survival strategy, how subconscious identity and polarity drive compulsive eating, why willpower and restrictive diets fail, what a true Brain Flip does to dissolve fear, mourning, and self sabotage around weight loss, and how allowing transformation instead of forcing change creates sustainable freedom in the body and mind.

Her journey towards justice and healing was a long, arduous one that spanned 15 years and two countries. Amidst it, she was joined by her sisters, who she would find out were also victims of Nicole's alleged abuser. The highly publicized nature of their legal battle inspired them to participate in the documentary, Surviving Malka Leifer, and has propelled Nicole to continue to speak out in Parliament and worldwide.

Hey there! Today, Episode 238 – Fear + Christ = Change is a deeply meaningful conversation I had with my friend Erin Ropelato from the Seek This Jesus Summit, and it's been sitting with my heart for a while. In this episode, we explore a simple but powerful truth I've been teaching missionaries, missionary moms, and leaders for years: fear plus fear only creates more fear, but fear plus Christ creates change. We talk about anxiety, sadness, shame, self-doubt, and discouragement—and why the real struggle often isn't the emotion itself, but what we add to it. We walk through how Jesus Christ consistently brought something different to human suffering—compassion instead of judgment, love instead of shame, confidence instead of fear—and how that shift created healing, miracles, and transformation. I share real missionary coaching examples, gospel stories, and practical emotional tools that help you stop fighting your feelings and instead partner with Christ to transform them. This episode is especially powerful for missionaries navigating anxiety, missionary moms supporting struggling kids, and anyone who feels stuck in emotional overwhelm. If you've ever wondered why trying harder, fixing yourself, or judging your emotions hasn't brought peace, this episode will offer a new framework rooted in Christlike compassion, awareness, and emotional maturity. Episode 238 – Fear + Christ = Change is an invitation to meet yourself where you are, add what Christ would add, and allow real change to unfold. Erin Ropelato is the owner of Seek This Jesus Study and host of the Seeking Jesus Summit. A former kindergarten teacher, Erin helps women discover their unique learning styles and use them to study the scriptures in simple, grace-filled ways. She loves teaching that connecting with Jesus Christ can look different for everyone, one small and simple step at a time. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review.

The Planisodes are Back! This series of mini-podcast episodes has been designed to help you shape your year from the inside out.  Not by chasing trends or forcing goals, but by reconnecting with your true value, listening more closely to what matters to you now, and creating a plan that feels aligned, flexible and sustainable. Each Planisode focuses on one essential part of meaningful growth. In every episode, I'll guide you through a few thoughtful questions and one simple task, so planning becomes something grounding and supportive rather than overwhelming.   Download your Planisode Planning ToolTo support you as you move through the Planisodes, I've created a practical planning spreadsheet you can use alongside the episodes. It gives you space to capture your insights, track your progress, and revisit your plan as you and your business evolve throughout the year. Download it here:  www.melittacampbell.com/Planisodes   This series isn't about having everything figured out from day one. It's about creating clarity through honesty, momentum through alignment, and a plan that grows with you as you step into the year ahead.   Planisodes 3 - Working With Fear and Doubt as You Grow In this Planisode, you'll explore how to work with fear and doubt rather than letting them hold you back as you grow your business. Instead of seeing fear as a problem to eliminate, this episode reframes it as useful information. A sign that you're stretching beyond what's familiar, expanding your identity, and moving toward something that truly matters to you. You'll be guided through a set of reflective questions that help you gently unpack what you're afraid of, what's realistically at stake, and what becomes possible when you choose curiosity over avoidance. You'll also identify one small, courageous step you can take even with fear present. This approach helps you build confidence in a way that feels natural and sustainable, not by forcing yourself to feel brave first, but by taking aligned action and letting confidence grow from there. "Confidence doesn't come first. It comes from taking courageous action, even if it's just a small step." - Melitta Campbell   *********************************************

Today's Promise: Deuteronomy 1:30-31 Standing on the edge of the Promised Land, the children of God faced a defining moment. The land God promised was rich, fertile, and overflowing with possibility. However, it was also filled with giants. What should have been a step of faith quickly became a crisis of belief.   That story feels uncomfortably familiar, doesn't it? You may not be facing towering warriors, but giants still stand in our way today. Financial pressure. Strained relationships. Fear, doubt, past failures, or overwhelming responsibilities. These giants can make us question God's promises and shrink back when He calls us to move forward.   In this episode, we explore what happens when fear speaks louder than faith, and what changes when we remember who really fights our battles. What if the giants in your life are not there to defeat you, but to reveal the power and faithfulness of God? Discover how trust transforms obstacles into opportunities and fear into victory.

A disheveled stranger sat down next to me at a London bar and claimed to be the Devil. By the time she finished telling me the truth about Hell, I believed every word.IN THIS EPISODE: It's the classic horror story, “The Man Who Returned” by Edmond Hamilton. Originally published in 1934, "The Man Who Returned" is an effective horror story.  Since first transmitting its sad and cynical realism from the pages of Weird Tales, it has been reprinted in numerous collections of stories from that magazine, as well as in a 1980 volume entitled “Fear! Fear! Fear!” *** I've pulled out what I hope you'll agree is definitely worth the “creepy” part of creepypasta. It was found on Reddit, written by user AThousandRows.

When she was three, her mother often heard her talking quietly on the upstairs landing. Not playing—conversing. Her daughter spoke calmly, thoughtfully, as if answering questions. When asked who she was talking to, she replied simply: the lady on the landing.The woman was described as a teacher. Kind, but strict. Someone she respected. Then the conversations stopped—and something else began.By the time she was eight, the landing felt heavy. Lights there never worked. Fear replaced familiarity. One night, she woke at 3:32 a.m. to a sudden, bone-deep cold and saw a tall, black figure hovering near the doorway. When it returned every Sunday night, always at the same hour, she learned the difference between fear and intrusion.Looking back, she realized something unsettling: the childhood companion and the later presence were not the same.

(1:00) It must have been frustrating for these elite athletes, who wanted to get on the court and show what they could do, to arrive at practice for the first time with this legendary coach only to hear him say, Today we will learn to tie our shoes. The point Wooden was making was that creating effective habits, down to the smallest detail, is what makes the difference between winning and losing games. Each habit might seem small, but added together, they have an exponential effect on performance. Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. (8:41) Faith allows you to trust the direction without needing to understand it. (10:16) If you make the choice of reading classic literature every day for a year, rather than reading the news, by the end of that time period you'll have a more honed sensitivity for recognizing greatness from the books than from the media. This applies to every choice we make. The friends we choose, the conversations we have, even the thoughts we reflect on. All of these aspects affect our ability to distinguish good from very good, very good from great. They help us determine what's worthy of our time and attention. Because there's an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in. (14:25) We're affected by our surroundings, and finding the best environment to create a clear channel is personal and to be tested. (27:57) Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we're aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don't apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. The goal is not to fit in. Communicate your singular perspective. (28:30) It's a healthy practice to approach our work with as few accepted rules, starting points, and limitations as possible. Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn't waiting for more of the same. Often, the most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet.

Its' a New Year and new energies are afloat. As we make our way into a new cycle, I want us to consider how to be more alive.I know that may sound strange seeing as we are alive now, but many of us are moving through life with a torch of fear.Fears show up in many ways - anxieties, worries, phobias...but all fear is connected to the ultimate fear - the fear of death.Even if you are not afraid of dying, listen in on how fear controls our lives and relationships and what we can do to have a difference experience of reality.Think: meeting your higher self. Being connected to Spirit. Integrating beliefs. I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year, and thanks for tuning in! Thanks for listening!

Send us a textMost contact centers still believe scoring more calls means better QA.It doesn't.In this episode, we start with the Law of Large Numbers and break down why scoring 100% of calls doesn't give you better insight. It just gives you more work. We talk about where the push for full coverage really comes from. Fear. Compliance pressure. Old spreadsheet thinking. And why that mindset quietly hurts coaching, accuracy, and confidence.We also cover what the data actually shows, how statistical sampling works in the real world, where AI helps and where it doesn't, and what QA should really be optimizing for.If your QA program feels busy but not effective, this episode will make you rethink how many calls you really need to score.

Let's talk about something uncomfortable.Not dramatic. Not viral.But real.Women don't usually lose attraction overnight.It doesn't disappear after one fight, one mistake, or one bad day.Attraction fades quietly.Slowly.Through patterns.The first crack usually comes from emotional safety.When a woman feels unheard… dismissed… or emotionally alone—even while in a relationship—something inside her starts to shut down.She may still care.She may still stay.But desire begins to leave.Then there's inconsistency.Strong words, weak actions.Present one day, distant the next.Attraction doesn't grow from intensity—it grows from reliability.Another major shift happens when self-respect erodes.When someone tolerates disrespect, over-pleases, or abandons their boundaries, it quietly changes how they're perceived.Confidence isn't loud.It's stable.Emotional immaturity also plays a role.Avoiding hard conversations.Deflecting accountability.Shutting down instead of showing up.Maturity feels safe.Avoidance feels exhausting.Then comes stagnation.No growth.No ambition.No forward movement.Attraction struggles when one person feels like they're evolving and the other is standing still.Sometimes love turns into neediness disguised as care.Constant reassurance.Fear of being left.Making one person your entire identity.Love should feel like choice—not pressure.Conflict reveals a lot.Anyone can be calm when life is easy.But attraction is tested in stress, disagreement, and uncertainty.How you communicate then matters more than any romantic moment.Another quiet killer is being taken for granted.Effort fades.Curiosity disappears.Appreciation becomes rare.Familiarity without care feels invisible.There's also misalignment.You can have chemistry and still grow apart when values, priorities, or future visions don't match.Love needs direction—not just emotion.And finally, there's the loss of polarity.When individuality disappears and the connection becomes emotional dependence, desire often flattens.Attraction thrives on grounded confidence—not emotional merging.Here's the truth most people don't want to hear:Women don't usually leave because they stopped loving.They leave because they felt unseen, unsafe, or emotionally alone for too long.Attraction doesn't ask for perfection.It asks for presence.Consistency.Growth.And responsibility.That's the real conversation no one likes to have.

It began with a rush of cold air in a bathroom and a growl no human throat could make. What followed stretched across multiple homes, multiple years, and multiple attempts to outrun whatever kept finding her in the dark.From beds shaking in the night to shadows slipping through hallways, from terrified pets to friends who saw figures she didn't dare describe, Molly's experiences only grew more intense with each move. A new house brought new nightmares. A new town brought new voices. And no matter how often she changed her address, something seemed to change with her.But it wasn't until people around her—friends, neighbors, complete strangers—started commenting on the same unseen presence that she began to wonder whether the haunting wasn't attached to a place at all… but to her.Now an adult raising a daughter who has begun staring at empty corners, Molly asks the question she's avoided for years: What if some people don't live in haunted houses… but live with the ability to hear what everyone else has learned to ignore?#realghoststories #paranormalencounter #hauntedlife #shadowfigure #sleepterror #entityattachment #ghostlyanimals #residualhaunting #redbluffhaunting #supernaturalexperiencesLove real ghost stories?

The First Letter of John reminds us that the love of God drives out fear from our hearts and engages us to live for the Lord. (Lectionary #214) January 7, 2026 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

What if the stress, fear, and autopilot living so many of us experience isn't “just life”… but a kind of invisible matrix we've been conditioned to accept? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with former attorney turned spiritual teacher Casey Berman, who walked away from a high-powered legal career after a profound awakening forced him to question success, identity, and what it actually means to live with consciousness and intention. Rather than preaching escape fantasies or spiritual bypassing, Casey delivers a grounded, pragmatic approach to spiritual awakening and spiritual growth; one rooted in awareness, personal responsibility, and small, actionable steps. He shares how fear, societal conditioning, and identity traps keep us disconnected from our true nature, and how reconnecting with presence can quietly transform everything from career choices to parenting. This conversation explores:How awakening often begins with subtle moments, not dramatic near-death experiencesWhy fear and anxiety are powerful signals, not personal failuresThe role of consciousness in dismantling stress, burnout, and misalignmentHow intuition development happens naturally when we unplug from constant noiseWhy soul purpose isn't found, it's rememberedThe difference between “escaping the matrix” and learning from itYou'll also hear why Casey believes modern spirituality must be practical to be sustainable, and how awareness alone can be a form of energy healing without ever calling it that. If you've felt disconnected, uninspired, or quietly questioning the life you're living, this episode offers a grounded reminder: awakening doesn't require abandoning your world...it begins by seeing it clearly. Key Topics DiscussedSpiritual awakening without spiritual theatricsConsciousness as a tool for everyday lifeFear, stress, and societal conditioningIntuition development through awarenessParenting after awakeningSoul purpose vs. external successLiving fully present in a distracted worldWhy This Episode Matters This is not a conversation about “escaping reality.” It's about waking up inside it, and learning how to live with clarity, intention, and agency in a world designed to keep you distracted. If you've been sensing there's more, without wanting to abandon logic, responsibility, or common sense, this episode meets you exactly where you are.Subscribe, Rate & Review!
