Most people fail under pressure because they never trained for it. What holds up under pressure is built long before comfort disappears. Army veteran, burn survivor, speaker, and actor JR Martinez sits down with Joe De Sena to break down how discipline is built before the crisis, why weak standards collapse fast, and how ownership, autonomy, and daily reps create real resilience. They cover parenting without rescue, pausing instead of reacting, using discomfort as data, and why refusing to lower standards is non-negotiable. Listeners leave with clear rules for holding the line when pressure hits.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

While still in high school and later in college, Alex began robbing banks, eventually landing on the radar of federal authorities and being sent to federal prison for the first time.

Has a child ever told you that she or he sees ghosts? A personal experience inspired us to dive into the fascinating possibility that children are simply more in-tune w/ their spiritual side than world-weary adults, and thus more adept at "seeing" and/or "communicating" with the OTHER side...We laughed, we cried, we solved the world's problems....Well, the laughing part is true. #ghosts #paranormal #haunted #HauntedChildren #TheOtherSide #Seers

At eight years old, they woke to a man standing in the doorway—a solid, breathing figure who looked just as startled to be seen… right before he stepped into the air and vanished. Most people would call it a childhood hallucination. A dream. A trauma echo. But trauma doesn't move through rooms. It doesn't follow you from home to home. It doesn't breathe beside your bed when you're fully awake. For decades, something has lingered—watching, tightening the air, stepping just out of sight. Relationship failures, constant setbacks, strange synchronicities, and a heaviness that never lifts… all while psychics whisper the same thing: something is attached. Is it one entity that found a crack and crawled in, or a magnet pulling in every lost thing that passes by? #ghoststory #haunting #paranormalexperience #realghoststories #shadowfigure #psychicphenomena #darkpresence #spiritattachment #ghostsighting #supernaturalstories #creepytales #truehaunting Love real ghost stories?

In this week's episode I am joined by Dr. Darby Saxby, a clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Southern California as we delve into the transition to parenthood, particularly focusing on fathers and the concept of the 'dad brain.' We discuss how fathers experience physiological and psychological changes despite not giving birth, the vulnerability and opportunities for growth these changes bring, and how societal structures often fail to support new parents adequately. Dr. Saxby shares insights from her research, including how caregiving impacts brain structure in both mothers and fathers and the importance of fathers being involved at various stages of a child's development.

In this powerful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany take listeners deep into the real reason most people struggle with money. It is not math. It is not budgeting. It is not the economy. It is the hidden beliefs about money that were shaped long before adulthood. Many of these patterns were installed through childhood experiences, family dynamics, culture, scarcity, trauma, and early emotional imprinting. Patrick and Steffany explore how every person carries a “money operating system” that unconsciously drives financial behavior. Whether it is fear, tension, guilt, pressure, or discomfort with wealth, these internal patterns influence income ceilings, financial sabotage, overspending, risk avoidance, or the inability to hold on to money. Through personal stories, childhood memories, coaching experiences, and research, they reveal how beliefs like “rich people are greedy,” “money is hard to make,” or “I will be judged if I want wealth” can quietly limit financial possibility. Steffany shares her perspective that money is energy, flow, and exchange, while Patrick opens up about how his upbringing shaped a sense of responsibility and tension around finances. Together they offer listeners three simple prompts to uncover their own money beliefs and begin to rewrite their financial operating system. This episode empowers listeners to examine what they were taught, question inherited limitations, and step into a healthier, more abundant relationship with money. Packed with insight, grounded storytelling, and practical tools, this episode is essential for anyone ready to improve their financial life by upgrading the mindset that drives it.
Help us keep the conversations going in 2026. Donate to Conversations with Tyler today. Alison Gopnik is both a psychologist and philosopher at Berkeley, studying how children construct theories of the world from limited data. Her central insight is that babies learn like scientists, running experiments and updating beliefs based on evidence. But Tyler wonders: are scientists actually good learners? It's a question that leads them into a wide-ranging conversation about what we've been systematically underestimating in young minds, what's wrong with simple nature-versus-nurture frameworks, and whether AI represents genuine intelligence or just a very sophisticated library. Tyler and Alison cover how children systematically experiment on the world and what study she'd run with $100 million, why babies are more conscious than adults and what consciousness even means, episodic memory and aphantasia, whether Freud got anything right about childhood and what's held up best from Piaget, how we should teach young children versus school-age kids, how AI should change K-12 education and Gopnik's case that it's a cultural technology rather than intelligence, whether the enterprise of twin studies makes sense and why she sees nature versus nurture as the wrong framework entirely, autism and ADHD as diagnostic categories, whether the success of her siblings belies her skepticism about genetic inheritance, her new project on the economics and philosophy of caregiving, and more.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For Amelia Cotter, the path into the paranormal didn't begin with ghost hunts or investigation tools—it began with curiosity. As a child, she found herself drawn again and again to an abandoned mansion just beyond her father's restaurant, a place frozen in time and heavy with unanswered questions. Room by room, Amelia explored its silent halls, never imagining that something—or someone—was aware of her presence. That changed the day she encountered a spirit who identified himself as Walter. That single moment altered the course of her life. In this episode of The Grave Talks, Amelia shares how her first undeniable encounter with the unseen opened a door she could never fully close. She reflects on the experiences that followed, the moments that challenged her understanding of reality, and how that early connection shaped her lifelong pursuit of the paranormal. Some encounters fade with time. Others become the beginning of everything. #ParanormalInvestigation #GhostEncounters #TrueParanormal #HauntedPlaces #LifeChangingMoments #TheUnseen #GhostStories #SpiritualEncounters #TheGraveTalks Love real ghost stories?

Most people think of Hanukkah as the “Jewish Christmas,” a cultural celebration with candles, dreidels, and chocolate coins. But the real story is far older, far weightier, and far more connected to the story of Jesus than many Christians realize. Hanukkah is a story about attempted erasure, courageous resistance, and God's unstoppable commitment to preserve His covenant promises. In this episode, we walk through the rise of Antiochus, the Seleucid king who sought not only to dominate Israel but to erase its identity - banning circumcision, outlawing Torah, desecrating the Temple, and demanding assimilation. Yet when the majority gave way to cultural pressure, a few refused to bow. The Maccabees stood when others surrendered, preserving the line through which Messiah would one day come. And 150 years later, during this very feast, Jesus walked in the Temple and declared Himself the Light of the World. The same God who preserved His people through the few stands faithful today. Hanukkah isn't merely history; it is a lens for understanding the spiritual battles of our own moment and the hope of the King who will come again. Key Takeaways Hanukkah is rooted in real biblical history - not legend - and is foreshadowed in Daniel's visions. Antiochus Epiphanes sought to erase Jewish identity and break the covenant line of David. The Maccabees embodied “the few” whom God uses to preserve His promises. The real miracle of Hanukkah is God's covenant faithfulness, not just the oil. Jesus celebrated Hanukkah (John 10:22) and used the feast to reveal His identity. The spirit of Antiochus - the antichrist spirit - still rises in every generation. Hanukkah points forward to the return of Messiah, the true Light of the World.

Childhood trauma is the number one cause of drug addiction, suicide and incarceration. What is the lasting impact of childhood trauma? How do early experiences—even experiences had as infants—shape adults? And how is it possible to recognize that damage—to help people heal? We'll hear from Michael J. Menard author of "Greater Than Gravity: How Childhood Trauma is Pulling Down Humanity."
What if the most loving thing you could do for your child today is protect their right to play? In this landmark 650th episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Heather Shumaker, author of the modern classic It's OK Not to Share, to talk about why childhood no longer feels like childhood and how we can change that. Together, Ginny and Heather paint a compelling vision of kids outside for hours, solving their own conflicts, learning impulse control while they wait for the truck or the swing, and discovering that deep, creative play (and not early academics) is what truly prepares them for life. If you've ever felt the pressure to enroll in one more class, push early reading, force sharing at the park, or make everyone “be friends,” this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Heather gives you concrete scripts (what to say instead of “be nice,” “share,” or “say you're sorry”), shows why “play fighting” and chase games are often exactly what kids need, and shares the powerful toolbox behind her follow-up book It's OK to Go Up the Slide and her middle-grade novel The Griffins of Castle Cary. As we celebrate 650 episodes, Ginny invites you to join the mission: listen in, send this episode to a friend who's worried they're “behind” because their child just wants to play, and leave a podcast rating and review. Your share might be the nudge another parent needs to slow the schedule, protect those long, muddy hours outside, and finally believe: there will always be time for academics, but there won't always be time for play.

Fu Banger sits down to breakdown his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsters, surviving Rikers, and navigating the federal system after the 6ix9ine RICO case exploded. He details what really happened inside Manhattan Correctional Center's SHU the night Jeffrey Epstein died — what he saw, what inmates were saying, and why the entire unit felt off. Fu also explains why he believes 6ix9ine staged his recent “home invasion robbery,” and gives his honest reaction to Diddy's viral prison photos and the trouble they may bring. He opens up about his time at a federal low-security prison, including how the yard handled high-risk inmates, predators, and those with serious charges, and what daily life at a low really looks like. #FuBanger #NineTrey #RICOCase #6ix9ine #Epstein #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #lockedinwithianbick Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Poet and essayist Carol Ann Davis (Fairfield University) joins Evan Rosa for a searching conversation on violence, childhood, and the moral discipline of attention in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Reflecting on trauma, parenting, childhood, poetry, and faith, Davis resists tidy narratives and invites listeners to dwell with grief, healing, beauty, and pain without resolution.“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”In this episode, Davis reflects on how lived trauma narrows attention, reshapes language, and unsettles conventional storytelling. Together they discuss poetry as dwelling rather than explanation, childhood and formation amid violence, image versus narrative, moral imagination, and the challenge of staying present to suffering.Episode Highlights“Nothing has happened at Hawley School. Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.”“And that was what it is not to suffer. This is the not-suffering, happy-ending story.”“I'm always narrowing focus.”“I think stories lie to us sometimes.”“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree.”“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”About Carol Ann DavisCarol Ann Davis is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Fairfield University.

In this week's episode, I sit down with professor Kathy Hirsh-Pasek to rethink what learning actually looks like—and why play is at the center of it. We break down the science behind playful learning, the Six Cs kids need to thrive in a rapidly changing world, and why pressure, perfectionism, and early achievement often get in the way. Kathy and I talk about how play builds resilience, creativity, and real problem-solving skills, and why boredom is not a crisis but a developmental gift.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel voted to end a recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. That guidance had been in place for more than 30 years. Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that can cause severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and cancer.The members of this panel, known as ACIP, were handpicked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior. That's after he abruptly fired all the previous 17 members of the panel earlier this year. That which led top officials at the CDC to resign in protest.His new members have publicly stated they want to revisit the entire childhood vaccine schedule. And after the panel's recent meeting, President Donald Trump expressed support for such a review.How will ending the recommended Hepatitis B shot for newborns affect public health? And what's next for childhood vaccinations?Find more of our programs online. Listen to 1A sponsor-free by signing up for 1A+ at plus.npr.org/the1a.
