Saloon music playing at 3am, cabinets flung open, a white mist drifting down the hall... and a grandmother whose fingernails on the wall didn't stop after she passed. With a family rooted in Brujería and a rival witch's curse in their history, we dig into why some families seem to attract the paranormal no matter where they go.Then Bear writes in from the Eastern Shore of Maryland with stories from his time in Montana... including a figure hovering outside a window seven feet off the ground, shadow people making phone calls, and something on the Battle of Little Bighorn grounds that may not be human at all. We get into skin walkers, elementals, and why Montana's energy hits differently than anywhere else.Finally, Parajunkie Prachi brings us part two of her story: astral projection, a charming salesman who shows up in a dream and asks to come in, a door in the ceiling surrounded by entities, and a husband who starts seeing her face twisted into something with a wolf's mouth and sharp teeth. We break down what happens when you leave your body unguarded... and who's waiting.-If you have a ghost story you'd like us to read and analyze, send it to ghostmail@hauntedcitypodcast.com.-We're paranormal investigators living in the most haunted city on earth — Savannah, Georgia.#ghoststories #paranormal #hauntedcity #ghostmail #savannah #paranormalinvestigation #astralProjection #haunted #trueghostsories #poltergeist

In episode 250 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explore breaking free from toxic cultures and rewriting your identity in transition for veterans and first responders navigating the high stakes of civilian life. You'll hear Riley Gruppo on overcoming systemic isolation, a traumatic medical retirement, and the pressure to be perfect, and what it takes to reclaim your personal mission as an entrepreneur.Riley grew up in a chaotic military family, groomed for a life of service under intense pressure. Seeking her own path, she entered an Early Commissioning Program at Valley Forge Military Academy before finishing her degree at Pepperdine University. Driven by ego and a fierce desire to prove her critics wrong, she chose the infantry branch right as combat arms roles opened to women.Her time on active duty at Fort Benning was defined by physical grit and systemic hurdles. Riley faced isolating dynamics as a woman in a heavily male dominated space, but she outperformed expectations until a severe knee injury forced a trajectory change. She pivoted to lead an integrated training unit on Sand Hill, but the unrelenting demands of command left no space to process personal loss, including the sudden death of her grandmother.Ultimately, a medical retirement forced her out of the uniform. Riley stepped into the corporate world in survival mode, quickly recognizing that the toxic cultures she tolerated in uniform existed in civilian offices too. After recognizing her skills in strategic planning and operations were highly transferable, she made the bold choice to quit corporate life and build her own brand, The Standard.Today, she helps clients navigate pivotal career transitions using a framework focused on the mind, body, and mission. She is also a passionate advocate for veteran healthcare, partnering with the Aspen Elevation Institute to pioneer cutting edge treatments for traumatic brain injuries and PTSD. Riley proves that when you leave the military, the ultimate mission becomes taking care of yourself.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comCHAPTERS00:00:00 - Intro: The Question That Opens Grief00:03:18 - Grandmother as the Anchor00:06:38 - Relearning How to Be Human00:08:38 - Groomed for the Infantry00:12:20 - Texas, Divorce, and Survival00:15:27 - Broken Homes, Servant Hearts00:21:19 - Good Memories Inside Chaos00:22:24 - Excellence Built on Fear00:25:24 - Living Alone Senior Year00:29:08 - Valley Forge and the Hard Way00:36:42 - Choosing Infantry00:38:00 - The Injury That Changed the Path00:44:18 - Pivoting Away From Infantry00:50:24 - The Cost Behind the Badge00:55:33 - Medically Retired, Ready to Leave00:58:09 - Seeing the Culture After Leaving01:03:30 - Isolation in Uniform01:09:30 - Women, Competition, and Change01:25:00 - Now the Mission Is You01:38:04 - Healing the Brain, Helping OthersSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

"The grandmother of St Basil the Great, she was outstanding for her intellect and piety. She was a disciple of St Gregory the Wonder-worker of Neocaesarea. In the reign of Diocletian, she abandoned her home and hid in the forests and desert places with her husband, Basil. Although their home was confiscated, they felt no pangs of regret. Stripped of everything except their love for God, they settled in an ancient forest and spent seven years there. By God's providence, goats would come down from the mountains and provide them with food. They both died peacefully in the fourth century, after great sufferings for the Christian faith." (Prologue)

Are you a grandparent, caregiver, or child impacted by generational trauma? Do you wrestle with questions of connection, healing, and the hope to break repeating patterns? Are you searching for authentic guidance to rewrite your family's future after abuse or neglect? I'm Laura Brazan, and in this episode of 'Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity,' we confront the realities of trauma and healing.

Together, we unpack how generational abuse cycles can be disrupted with love, boundaries, and self-awareness.

I recently interviewed her for an episode that will be live the end of August 2026.  Jill Bryant has spent years researching the deep complexities of counseling and the lived reality of kinship care as a professor and a grandparent raising a grandchild.

In the 10 years since losing her mother to gun violence Bunny Beeks has made it her mission to help other families endure these senseless tragedies and find justice. Now, she has honored her mother's legacy once again by successfully asking the city to place her name, Birdell Beeks, on the street sign over the very intersection in north Minneapolis where her life was taken in May 2016. It happened in broad daylight while she sat in her minivan in the middle of crossfire she had nothing to do with. Bunny Beeks joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini in the studio to reflect on the time that has passed since her mother's death and the work that remains.

Most people spend their whole lives solving problems that aren't the actual problem.I sat down with Danny Morel, transformational coach, speaker, and author of Awaken, to talk about what it really takes to stop outsourcing your power and start doing the inner work that changes everything. Not the kind of change that looks good on paper. The kind that actually holds.What we explore:- Why grief can crack open the questions you've been avoiding for decades, and why that's actually the beginning of something good.- How overachieving quietly becomes its own form of hiding, and why society keeps handing out rewards for it.- What re-parenting actually means, and why the real healing work happens inside you, not in a conversation with your mom or dad.- How to shift from victim consciousness to creator consciousness so every person in your life becomes a teacher instead of a problem.- What the masculine and feminine actually are beneath the culture war noise, and why integrating both is the foundation for everything else.Chapters00:00 Why Danny Morel Started Asking Hard Questions02:39 3 Questions After His Mom Passed 04:43 Sitting Still as the Most Powerful Healing Tool 09:17 Being You Requires No Effort 14:14 How Your Mother's Wounds Became Yours 17:12 When Logic Fails: Plant Medicine and Ceremony21:02 You Learned Pain So You Can Unlearn It 24:55 Re-Parenting Yourself From Within30:58 From Victim to Creator Consciousness36:35 What Ceremony Revealed About Divorce and Kids39:02 How Danny Avoids Becoming a Guru40:10 The Ladder of Consciousness Explained Simply48:27 Breathwork, Cannabis, Mushrooms, and Ayahuasca56:08 Why Religion Taught You to Outsource Your Power 57:29 Why Alcoholics Are Sensitive People in Pain01:04:16 The Truth About Masculine and Feminine Energy01:06:36 The Infinity Symbol and How Energy Really Works 01:10:54 Adam, Eve, and What the Bible Got Wrong01:13:51 Healing Yourself Heals Your Whole FamilyAbout Danny Morel:Danny Morel is a transformational coach, speaker, and the author of Awaken, a book born from his own radical personal reckoning after the death of his mother, a marriage that fell apart, and years of building external success on an internal void. He hosts live immersive events that combine breathwork, somatic release, plant medicine ceremonies, and deep emotional excavation to help people break generational patterns and return to who they actually are.

On tending to our interdependence, living life fully, and dying with attention and equanimity. 0:00 — Introduction  1:34 — Overview of Ann's Book "Traveling in Bardo" 3:55 — Personal Reflections on Grandmother's Funeral 7:20 — The Role of Practice in Embracing Impermanence 16:15 — Living with Attention and Interdependence 34:57 — Authenticity and True Nature 42:09 — Conclusion and Final Thoughts Ann Tashi Slater writes for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Paris Review, and Granta, among others, and is a contributing editor at Tricycle. She presents and teaches workshops at Princeton, Columbia, Oxford, Asia Society, and The American University of Paris, and was a regular speaker at NYC's Rubin Museum of Art during the museum's 20-year run. Ann's new book, Traveling in Bardo: The Art of Living in an Impermanent World was released by Balance/Hachette in September, 2025. TRAVELING IN BARDO explores how we can find meaning and happiness in a world where change is the only certainty. Interweaving explorations of "bardo" between-states in relation to marriage and friendship, parents and children, and work and creativity with stories of her Tibetan ancestors and Buddhist teachings on the fleeting nature of existence, Slater illuminates what the teachings have to tell us in our contemporary lives. She relays vital wisdom from Tibetan culture, giving us a bold, new framework to navigate moments of change and live life fully. With a foreword by Dani Shapiro, the book has been praised by Elizabeth Gilbert, Melissa Febos, Sharon Salzberg, and Julia Alvarez, among others, and has been selected as a "Must-Read" by the Next Big Idea Club, co-curated by Malcolm Gladwell. In the midst of this shifting landscape, Slater invites us to embrace impermanence in a powerful way, rooted in ancient wisdom. During over forty years of writing and speaking about her Tibetan-American heritage and the relevance of Buddhism in Western society, Slater has come to see how Tibetan bardo views on impermanence can transform the way we live. A luminous guide to navigating transition and impermanence, it offers us the opportunity to find happiness in an impermanent world.

In this special LIVE edition of Coffee with Mome, Mike heads home for Mother's Day and sits down with the woman who taught him everything worth knowing — his mom, Peggy Rowe. Recorded in front of a live audience at the place Peggy refers to as The Home, this episode is filled with the warmth, wit, and wonderfully sharp observations fans have come to expect from America's Grandmother. From family stories and hard-earned wisdom to laughter that only comes from decades of shared history, Mike and Peggy talk about motherhood, growing older disgracefully, and the strange adventure of becoming a beloved public figure later in life. It's funny, heartfelt, occasionally mischievous, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd hope to overhear around the kitchen table on Mother's Day.

Hey friend, if you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing enough as a mom or grandmother, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the truth about motherhood—the pressure, the insecurity, and the quiet, unseen work that actually matters most. Together, we’ll let go of perfection and refocus on what our kids truly need: love, presence, and consistency. I’ll walk you through what good moms really do (and don’t do), why the everyday moments matter more than you think, and how to care for yourself in the middle of it all. Whether Mother’s Day feels joyful or complicated, I hope this feels like a deep breath for your soul. And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

Perdita Finn is the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. They are currently at work on their next book together Circles Not Lines: Spiritual Community Beyond Patriarchy.  To find out more about her devotion to “ecology not theology” visit wayoftherose.org In addition to extensive study with Zen masters, priests, spirit workers, and healers, she apprenticed with the psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she wrote The Reluctant Psychic. Perdita Finn now teaches popular workshops on Getting to Know the Dead. Participants are empowered to activate the miracles in their own lives with the help of their ancestors and recover their own intuitive magic. Her book Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World is an intimate journey through her recovery of these lost ways. She speaks widely on how to collaborate with those on the other side, on the urgent necessity of a new romantic animism, and on the sobriety that emerges when we claim the long story of our souls. Her next book is Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, to be released on May 5th, 2026. Perdita begins by talking about the idea of redefining Mothering beyond gender, something that feels so important in today's world where Mothering has been sidelined by the patriarchy. She offers some strong guidance to men about the role of Grandmothers which helps us move towards collective Mothering. So much of Perdita's work and book centers on a calling upon the dead. As such we get to hear how this connects with Mothering, how to speak with the dead, and viewing our worries or fretting as an act of prayer calling out for help from the unseen.  You can connect with all of Perdita's work at https://takebackthemagic.com/ Like, Subscribe!  Watch us on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@dancingwithwaterpodcast Find us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dancingwithwaterpodcast Support us at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/dancingwithwater Find archive conversation from I want what SHE has https://iwantwhatshehas.org/  Learn more about Theresa and her offerings at https://www.anahatakingston.com/  Learn more about Jennifer and her offerings at https://www.cosmicmotherlove.com/

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Young Fern showed up in 1925, called Kat “Kitty Cat,” and immediately became our favorite character in the entire series. This is The Way Home we've been waiting for.Eric and Andrea dive into Season 4, Episode 2 — “Blinded by the Light” — where Kat lands in a new era of Port Haven history and the mysteries are stacking up fast. In a role reversal from their usual dynamic, Andrea is all in, and even the show's biggest skeptic (Eric) has to admit: this season is delivering.What worked: Bianca Melchoir as young Fern is an absolute revelation — quick-witted, snappy, and hiding something beneath all that flapper charm. The parallel storytelling between the Roaring Twenties speakeasy and the 1970s hippie poetry crowd is clever and completely satisfying. The casting of Gabriel Hogan and Dan Jeanneret fits perfectly, and Norm is always a welcome sight on screen. And that final scene — where Kat pulls the time traveler card to get out of trouble — is pure gold.What didn't work: Cat refusing to let Grayson call her “Kitty” — when Fern calls her Kitty Cat the whole episode, come on, Cat. And the dramatic full-name drop of “That's my brother, Griffin. Landry.” — you could have stopped one word sooner, but we'll allow it.We also get into Del's torment and the secret she's been carrying, the photograph torn in two and thrown in the fire, and the big question on everyone's mind: who exactly is Griffin Landry, and does he have a history with Tessa Cooper? (If so… the implications for Elliot and Kat are very, very complicated.) Plus — could Sam actually be Griffin? Eric went down a rabbit hole in a Way Home Facebook fan group, and now we can't stop thinking about it.Standout scene picks: Eric goes with the newspaper office scene — discovering that Fern lived in the Landry house all along was a genuinely great reveal. Andrea picks the flask-and-time-traveler exchange at the end, with Chyler Leigh's perfect reaction shot stealing the moment.Subscribe so you don't miss next week — we're heading to Hope Valley to round out that season!⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00  Back in the Pond — Season 4's Final Season Energy01:15  Episode Overview: What to Expect in “Blinded by the Light”02:45  Bianca Melchoir as Young Fern: An Instant Series Favorite05:00  Flapper Fashion, Prohibition Vibes & Andrea's Grandmother's Hats07:30  The 1920s vs. 1970s Parallels Making This Season Work10:00  Casting Highlights: Gabriel Hogan, Dan Jeanneret & Norm12:00  Del's Secret & The Torn Photograph14:00  The Griffin Landry Mystery — Who Is He?16:00  Down the Rabbit Hole: Hallmark Fan Groups & Deep-Dive Theory Culture17:30  What We Didn't Like19:00  Standout Scene Picks21:00  Burning Questions for the Rest of the Season23:00  Coming Up Next: Hope Valley#TheWayHome #TheWayHomeSeason4 #Hallmark #HallmarkChannel #PortHaven #TheWayHomeReview #HallmarkMysteries #LandryFamily #Fern #GriffinLandry #KatLandry #HallmarkMysteryAndMoreFollow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website. This podcast was created by fans for fans and is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by Hallmark or the Hallmark Channel.

Syed Edwards joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up in New Jersey, losing both of his parents at a young age, and being raised by his grandmother before the streets took over. After starting to hustle as a teenager, everything escalated when his grandmother passed away, pushing him deeper into the drug game where he began manufacturing and built a $5,000-a-day operation in the late 90s and early 2000s. In this episode, Syed breaks down how he ran his operation, what life in the streets was really like, and how the feds eventually caught up to him, leading to nearly two years in a New Jersey county jail. _____________________________________________ #DrugDealer #FederalCase #TrueCrime #StreetLife #Feds #PrisonStory #CrimeStory #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Syed Edwards: https://www.instagram.com/thereals550?igsh=bThsY3l5N3N3NTcw _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From the Streets to the Feds (Full Story) 01:40 Growing Up in New Jersey's Diamond District 04:44 Losing Family & Early Life Struggles 08:22 Childhood Before the Streets 09:53 First Hustles & Entering the Streets 13:39 Grandmother's Influence & Loss 14:18 Dropping Out & Chasing Fast Money 15:49 High School Drug Dealing Begins 18:39 Learning the Drug Game: Risks & Rewards 20:22 The Street Economy: Millions on the Block 23:00 Making Real Money: Cooking & Street Credit 26:06 Avoiding Gangs & Staying Neutral 29:01 Regrets & Reality of the Fast Life 33:33 Violence, Competition & Street Risks 36:04 Street Life Then vs Now 42:00 Arrests, Betrayal & Everything Falls Apart 47:47 Federal Case: Surveillance, Setup & Arrest 53:04 County Jail: Survival & Mental Battles 01:09:50 Release, Redemption & Staying Free 01:16:52 Mentorship, Music & New Purpose 01:20:12 Advice for the Next Generation _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
