In Episode 12 of Season 10 of the Healing for My Soul Podcast, Dr. Dunamis Dee and Ariel Fuller close out the season with the question nobody wants to ask but everybody needs to answer — are you the narcissist?

Ever feel like love is just one giant, nerve-wracking gamble? Like the people who are supposed to love you the most end up hurting you beyond belief, and you're left questioning your own reality? Trust me, you are not alone. In this raw and must-listen episode of Women of Impact, I sit down with Matthew Hussey, relationship coach, New York Times bestselling author, and the straight-talking Brit who has helped millions of women get real about love, self-worth, and healing after trauma.Matthew and I are diving deep into the sneaky world of coercive control, manipulation, and narcissistic relationships. We're uncovering why nearly half of women find themselves with controlling partners, what keeps so many of us stuck in toxic cycles, and the miracle of breaking free. Learn the actual steps to stay guarded enough to protect your heart, but open enough to receive real love again. I demand honesty on this show, and you're about to get it.SHOWNOTESThe case for slowing down: why we lose objectivity in loveAdvancing in love like a boxer: how to protect yourself without closing offThe context clues you must look for: how do they handle stress, family, friendships, conflict, and YOU when you're sick?The science: up to 63.3% of women with abuse will develop PTSD, and why psychological wounds are the slowest to healThe cult of two: Why leaving is a miracle, not a failureWhy so many women opt out of dating, and the real risks of closing your heart for goodThe story of Gisele Pellicault, and how finding love again after unimaginable trauma is still possibleSelf-love after heartbreak: can the next chapter be the best one?Why going no contact with parents or partners is sometimes the only way (you are NOT a snowflake for protecting your peace).

Ever hit a good stretch, everything's finally clicking, and then out of nowhere you binge for no reason at all? You're not broken. Your brain might just be waiting for the other shoe to drop.I'm back after a few weeks off (school's out, life got loud, more on that in the episode) and diving into something I don't talk about enough: bingeing when things are actually going well. Most of the time we talk about turning to food during the hard stuff. But so many women binge right when life is good, and it's not random. I get into the psychology behind it, why success can feel unsafe, and why your brain might sabotage you just to bring you back to "baseline."What You'll Learn:Why success isn't neutral for high achievers and perfectionists (and how that quietly sets you up to binge)Why your brain treats "things are going too good" like a threatHow to tell if a binge is actually a stress response to feeling goodThe exact question to ask yourself the next time you self-sabotage after a winResources Mentioned:The Big Leap by Gay HendricksWhat can you expect from this podcast & future episodes?Bite-size episodes that are binge-able (no pun intended)!Tips to help you stop binging & overeatingA friendly face, hint of sarcasm & touch of tough love to help you be normal around food.Links to help you further: Register for the FREE training: Stop Binge Eating + Overeating (Without Cutting Out Your Favorite Foods)MORE FROM ME:

What do you do when the church — the very community that's supposed to reflect the love of God — becomes a source of real pain? Host Dan Johnson sits down with Scott Bessenecker, author of Bad Religion, Good News: An Honest Guide to Spiritual Disappointment, for an unflinching conversation about church hurt, institutional failure, and the long road toward healing.Drawing on four decades of campus ministry with InterVarsity, Scott shares about being both a victim and participant in the church's sins, the role of self-examination in avoiding the spiral into deconstruction, and why honesty about the church's failures doesn't have to mean abandoning Christian community altogether. He also reflects on his own experience with disappointment with God — including his recovery from a stroke — and what it means to discover that God's presence in grief may be more powerful than miraculous rescue.Whether you've been wounded by a leader, disillusioned by an institution, or are simply trying to maintain an honest and hopeful faith, this conversation offers both clarity and compassion for the journey.IN THIS EPISODEWhat prompted Scott to write Bad Religion, Good NewsBeing both a victim and a participant in the sins of the churchWhy self-examination is essential to navigating disappointment without becoming toxicThe difference between deconstruction and honest disappointmentHow to talk openly about the church's failures without dismissing its goodThe hard work of forgiving an institution that may never apologizeScott's personal experience with a stroke and finding God in grief rather than rescueWhen it's time to leave a church community — and how to do it wellSigns of spiritual hunger in the current generation of young adultsWhat a healthier American church might look like in a decadeGUESTScott Bessenecker is a longtime ministry leader and author who spent four decades with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. His new book, Bad Religion, Good News: An Honest Guide to Spiritual Disappointment, invites readers into honest conversations about the church's failures — and how to find deeper faith on the other side.RESOURCEShttps://heraldpress.com/9781513817644/bad-religion-good-news/https://slbf.org/studioSend us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour

Have you done all the right things and still spent two weeks a month feeling like a completely different, much less pleasant person? I get it.Most PMS and PMDD conversations stop at estrogen and progesterone. But if you're still dealing with mood swings, brain fog, or symptoms that show up around ovulation, too, there's a piece nobody's named for you yet. It's histamine. And before you say, "I don't have allergies" - that's not what we're talking about here. In this episode, I'm walking you through why histamine can be a very real driver of your hormonal symptoms, why it tends to spike at two specific points in your cycle, and what's actually going on underneath that your body has been trying to flag.You'll learn:The estrogen-histamine feedback loop that makes symptoms spike at two points in your cycle, including mid-cycle, when you're supposed to feel goodThe specific signs that point to histamine as a contributing factor in your PMS/ PMDD Why supplements like DAO enzyme or Quercetin can help temporarily, and what the real question is that nobody's askingIf histamine has never once crossed your mind as a reason you feel terrible two weeks out of the month - buckle up, because this episode is about to make a lot of things click.And if you're currently tracking your basal body temperatures and your PMS is still not where you want it to be, I have something for a few of you at the end of this episode.

"What does true spirituality actually look like?In Galatians 6:1–10, Paul teaches that life in the Spirit is not primarily seen in outward impressiveness, but in humble love, gentleness, burden-bearing, and service toward others. The Christian life is lived in community, and genuine sanctification manifests itself in how we treat fellow believers.This sermon explores Paul's exhortations to restore those caught in sin, carry one another's burdens, reject pride and comparison, support the ministry of the Word, and persevere in doing good. Paul warns that God is not mocked: whatever a person sows, that he will also reap. Those who sow to the flesh reap corruption, but those who sow to the Spirit reap eternal life.At the heart of this passage is the truth that justification by faith leads to Spirit-produced holiness. The Spirit creates a people marked by humility, mercy, perseverance, and love.In this sermon:What true spirituality looks likeRestoring sinners with gentlenessCarrying one another's burdensPride, comparison, and self-deceptionSupporting the teaching of the WordSowing to the flesh vs. sowing to the SpiritPersevering in doing goodThe relationship between justification and sanctification“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” — Galatians 6:9"

Adoption is often told as a beautiful, full-circle story.But what happens when the story keeps unfolding decades later?In this episode, Rebecca sits down with Niemah Scherlacher, whose adoption story spans cultures, religions, and nearly 60 years of unanswered questions. Born in Jerusalem to a Palestinian mother, placed in a Jewish orphanage, and adopted by a Christian American family—her story has always been described as a miracle.Until the full truth came out.This conversation goes beyond the surface of adoption and into what it actually means to live it—through childhood, adulthood, and the moments that reshape everything you thought you knew about your identity.Because being chosen doesn't erase being given up.And love doesn't cancel loss.This is a deeper look at the lifelong emotional reality of adoption—and what adoptive parents need to understand if they want to truly support their child.What We Cover:Why “you were chosen” isn't the full storyThe emotional impact of uncovering your adoption story later in lifeHow identity evolves at 5, 15, 35, and beyondThe role of faith—and when it helps vs. shuts things downWhat adoptive parents often miss (and why it matters long-term)Why avoiding hard conversations creates more harm than goodThe complexity of growing up across cultures, religions, and historiesHow to support adoptees through grief, even when everything “looks good”Resources:Poem Mentioned: The Adoption Creed poem by Fleur Conkling HeyligerConnect with Niemah: https://www.instagram.com/niemahanne_RG Adoption ConsultingWebsite → ⁠https://rgadoptionconsulting.com⁠ Book a 30-Minute Consult → ⁠https://rgadoptionconsulting.com/contactAre You Ready to Adopt Your Baby Quiz: https://www.rgadoptionconsulting.com/quiz Tune in to The Adoption Roadmap Podcast every Wednesday.

This is a previous episode we had to bring back to the top because intuitively... it's what you need to hear most right now!Ever notice how the same patterns keep repeating in your life? New person, new situation… But the exact same frustrations, emotions, reactions, and endings.No matter how many times you try to “fix” whatever's happening in the moment, it doesn't fully shift. It feels like your life is stuck on repeat and you're the only one who never got the blueprint on how to actually change it.Here's what no one tells you:The problem you think you're dealing with is almost never the real issue. That's why it keeps resurfacing in different forms. You're treating the surface-level trigger, but not what's underneath.In this week's episode, we deep dive into the Source truth behind your patterns:Why faking positivity does more harm than goodThe real reason your problems never seem to get “fixed”How running away from your emotions creates more problemsHow to actually work through the patterns that keep popping upI even share a personal story from my pregnancy, a moment I swore was “the problem” only to realize it wasn't the root at all.If you're ready to finally understand why the same problems keep showing up for you and how to end the cycle for good… this episode is a MUST-LISTEN.Join our $50/mo gym membership for your soul, Unf*ck Yourself Membership! 4 perks, 1 space, weekly energetic healing - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/membershipFOLLOW MEInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexandraninfo TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@alexandraninfo You Can Also Listen to Unf*ck Yourself Podcast HereSite - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/podcast Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unf-ck-yourself/id1647393740Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4OfhtVIbV73xuSrZ2MnXKZ?si=f3fabaa47ca4482eYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AlexandraNinfo

In this episode of Confessions of a Dog Trainer, I'm sharing the real story behind the book I didn't plan on writing - and why e-collar training became the thing I couldn't stop thinking about.After posting a few videos on Facebook and getting flooded with negative comments, I almost stopped sharing about e-collars altogether. But instead of getting defensive, something shifted. I got curious.This episode breaks down the biggest misconceptions I see about e-collar training - the ones that keep so many dog owners stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to trust.If you've ever felt confused, hesitant, or judged for even considering an e-collar… this is for you.In this episode, I talk about:Why I started writing my next book (working title: The Truth About E-Collar Training)The impact of negative comments on social media - and how it shifted my perspectiveHow curiosity changed the way I respond to criticismThe real goal behind this book: helping owners feel less confused and more confident“It's a shock collar” Why that label is misleading and doesn't reflect how modern e-collars are actually used“It electrocutes dogs” What e-collars actually are (muscle stimulation, similar to a TENS unit) and how they work“It's a shortcut or lazy training” Why e-collar training actually requires more intention, structure, and consistency - not lessWhy saying “the e-collar doesn't cause discomfort” can actually do more harm than goodThe importance of honesty and nuance when talking about training toolsThe 3 Biggest E-Collar Misconceptions:Bonus Misconception:Show Notes:Resources Mentioned:My book Dear Owner (available on Amazon)E-Collar Starter GuideReactive Dog Handbook (E-Collar Training for Reactive Dogs)Separation Anxiety Guide30-minute coaching / reassurance calls

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham kick things off with a lifestyle update—including a new live show schedule—before diving into a powerful and honest conversation about diabetes management, fear, and long-term risk.What starts as a light discussion around everyday challenges (yes… even pockets and carrying supplies) quickly evolves into a deeper conversation around diabetes complications, scare tactics, and the reality behind the numbers.They unpack commonly misunderstood topics like amputation risk, long-term complications, and how statistics are often presented without context—especially when comparing type 1 and type 2 diabetes More importantly, Ken shares a strong perspective on why fear-based messaging doesn't work for most people—and what actually does: education, support, and real-life application.This episode is a reminder that while risks exist, your daily decisions—and the support you surround yourself with—are what truly shape your future.

I've been saying for years that marketing is increasingly visual — whether it's social media, YouTube, websites, or even AI-generated content. But most of us aren't designers, and we're winging it when it comes to visual branding. My guest today is Jim MacLeod, author of The Visual Marketer, and he's someone I've known for about a decade — back when I co-founded the Social Tools Summit and invited him to speak about visual social media from a B2B perspective. Jim has a rare combination of graphic design expertise and deep marketing strategy knowledge, and in this conversation he breaks down how to think about visual identity from a customer-first perspective, why consistency matters more than creativity when building your brand, and how to align your visual content strategy with actual customer research. Whether you're a solopreneur designing your own graphics in Canva or a marketing leader managing a creative team, this episode will change how you think about the visuals that represent your business.KEY TOPICS:Jim's career path from graphic designer to B2B marketing strategist at Extreme NetworksWhy designers who understand the end customer produce dramatically better marketing assetsHow to develop a visual brand identity that resonates with your audience, not just looks goodThe importance of customer research and focus groups in shaping your brand identityWhy consistency matters more than creativity — and when to resist the urge to rebrandRepurposing visual content: building a content calendar around a pillar piece with pre- and post-promotionWhen to brand heavily vs. when to keep it subtle (thought leadership vs. solution content)Applying lean startup thinking to visual content strategy and product developmentHow people visually move through an image and why that matters for engagementTools and approaches for non-designers to create effective visual marketingRESOURCES & LINKS:The Visual Marketer by Jim MacLeod —https://amzn.to/4vc1BWn Visual Marketer website: https://visualmarketer.coJim MacLeod's website: https://jimmacleod.comJim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmacleodLearn More:Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazonBuy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazonJoin My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmoDownload My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschafferAll My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

What happens when two of the biggest life transitions collide at exactly the same time? For grief coach Sarah Kagan, that meant losing her mother at six months pregnant and learning to live through loss while preparing to bring a new life into the world.Sarah is a mother to two young kids, a former corporate professional who walked away from her career to follow a calling, and someone who is building a platform to change the way we talk about grief, especially in the workplace.In this conversation, Ashley and Sarah dig into what it really means to grieve in real time, why the pressure to “be strong” is one of the most isolating things we do to each other, and what it looks like to hold loss and love at the same time, without having to choose between them.In This EpisodeWhat it means to be a “motherless mother” and why grief hits differently once you're a parentThe moment at her mother's Shiva that taught Sarah everything about how we avoid griefWhy “you're so brave” and “at least she's not suffering” do more harm than goodThe martyrdom trap — and how stepping out of it changed everything for SarahThe statistic that 51% of people leave their jobs within a year of a major lossHow Sarah rebuilt her work life after leaving corporate — no 9-to-5, Wednesdays for arts and crafts, out by 4pmWhy grief needs a better spokesperson (and what menopause got right)The problem with bereavement leave policies that tell you who you're allowed to mournAshley opens up about losing her father to suicide and the shame layered on top of certain kinds of lossHow to slow down after caregiving — and why your body will eventually make youSarah's grief workbook and creative morning kits: where does the love go when someone dies?Quotes From This Episode“There's so much pressure to cover up or perform or just show up and be like, yeah, I'm fine. But it is a big deal and you need someone else to validate that experience for you.” — Sarah Kagan“Trying to put a period on something that's an ellipsis.” — Sarah Kagan, on toxic positivity around grief“No one helps you speed up.

David and Adam are back in the groove for Lent. They open with a timely conversation about Pope Leo's call for priests to stop using AI to write homilies, and why that warning matters far beyond the pulpit. The guys explore how AI threatens the muscles of human creativity, the irreplaceable nature of human-to-human proclamation of the Gospel, and where men should draw their own lines before the technology draws them for you.Then it's deep dive time into Dante's Divine Comedy — specifically the Dantinian ordering of sin, love, and the moral life across the Inferno and Purgatorio. David and Adam unpack:Why lust is the first (mildest) circle of Hell — and why that's actually a message of hope, not a free passWhy fraud and treason sit at the bottom — and what it means to so disfigure your soul that evil looks like goodThe mirror structure of Purgatory — pride at the base, lust at the summit, and why the climb starts nowMisdirected love, deficient love, and excessive love — how Dante's ladder maps directly onto your daily examination of conscienceWhy Hell is isolation and Purgatory is communion — and what that says about Christian hopeAcedia (sloth) redefined — it's not laziness, it's spiritual sluggishness, and it may be the most dangerous sin of the comfortableCato's charge at the gate of Purgatory: Run. Don't wait a second.The guys also taste a rare bottle of Angel's Envy Rye finished in Anejo Tequila barrels (104 proof, surprisingly mellow), give a shout-out to their upcoming 10-year anniversary, and share a sneak peek at the Catholic Man Show Campout short film dropping soon on Patreon.Resources mentioned:The Divine Comedy by Dante AlighieriAscend the Great Books podcast with Deacon GarlickPatreon.com/TheCatholicManShowSelectInternationalTours.com
