In this episode, I sit down with Carl Radke for an honest conversation about sobriety, grief, and what it's really like behind the scenes of Bravo's Summer House. Carl opens up about his journey with addiction that led to his sobriety, how he dealt with survivor's guilt after his brother's passing, and how writing his memoir, Cake Eater, helped him find healing. We talk about the realities of being sober in a partying environment, the highs and lows of reality TV and being on camera, how Carl navigates friendship and fame, and finding purpose after hitting rock bottom. Plus, Carl shares advice for anyone curious about sobriety, why self-acceptance is ongoing work, and what we can expect from this current season of Summer House.Key Takeaway / Points:Carl's experience with addiction and his journey to sobrietyGrieving his brother's death and dealing with survivor's guilt, imposter syndrome, and the feeling of not being “enough”How hitting rock bottom led him to getting sober Pressure of being on camera and reality TV redemptionThe healing process of writing his memoir, Cake EaterCurrent season of Summer House and navigating the drama-filled house, friendships, and relationshipsOur take on Jersey Shore vs. HamptonsColoring confessionals: Summer House favorite moments, his non-negotiable morning routine, favorite castmate to get advice from, and moreFinding community in grief and sharing his story to help othersWatch Summer House Tuesday nights at 8pm ET on Bravo.Order Carl's book Cake Eater HEREListen to Carl's podcast More Life HERELearn more about Soft Bar HEREFollow Carl:Instagram: @carlradkeTikTok: @carlradkeWebsite: www.radkeboys.comFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.com

Are your supplements really working, or are you just wasting your money?Josh Trent welcomes Shawn Wells on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 807, to reveal why your nervous system determines whether your supplements work or do nothing, how chronic stress physically blocks absorption no matter the quality of what you're taking, the science of placebo and nocebo and how your mindset before you swallow the pill changes your biology, and why your body has to be ready before anything in the bottle can help.In This Episode, Shawn Wells Uncovers:(01:30) Why Your Body Rejects Supplements(08:55) Neural System Healing(12:35) Why Placebo Actually Works(21:35) You Don't Have to Be Defined By What You Do(26:50) The Key to Supplement Efficiency(34:00) Why Medications Don't Work Long-Term(40:35) The Journey of Grief(47:35) You Don't Need Supplements(54:30) Caffeine Is Toxic, Paraxanthine Heals You(01:03:15) The World Needs Paraxanthine Right Now(01:09:35) What Can You Do for Yourself?(01:16:00) Freedom Comes From Truth

Tenderoni Hotline #24: Hello my love, and welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline, our soft and spacious corner of the Feminist Wellness Podcast where we explore your most tender questions about healing, nervous system care, and returning home to yourself.In today's episode, we're diving into two thoughtful questions about grief, empathy, and emotional boundaries, and what it means to care deeply without abandoning yourself in the process.First, we explore something that often goes unnamed: grief over losing meaningful possessions. What happens when you lose a beloved object, like a piece of jewelry, a journal, a childhood item, or a home that held an entire chapter of your life? If you've ever felt embarrassed about how deeply something like that affected you, this conversation offers a compassionate reframe. We talk about why these losses can feel so profound, how objects can hold memory and meaning, and why your grief deserves to be honored without judgment.Next, we turn to a question about witnessing mistreatment in the workplace. If you've ever felt deeply disturbed by abuse of power or injustice at work, and found yourself ruminating about it long after the moment has passed, this conversation will help you understand what's happening in your nervous system. We explore the difference between empathy and emotional absorption, and how to practice boundaried empathy so you can care, advocate, and take action without burning yourself out.You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how grief, empathy, and nervous system activation intersect, along with gentle practices to help you hold your tenderness with more steadiness and care. So grab your coziest blanket, pour a warm drink, and come settle into the tenderness with me.Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

Kouri RIchins’ defense team put on a fiery closing argument to jurors, insisting the prosecution did not prove Richins purchased Fentanyl and not did prove she gave it to her husband. The prosecution ended its rebuttal with this final, powerful command: “See through her facade, check her ambition, and do not let her get away with murder.“See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution put on an extremely effective closing today, giving a detailed timeline of what Kouri did NOT do to try and save her husband’s life and appealed to the jury’s common sense for why and how they claim Kouri poisoned her husband. As soon as the prosecution finished, the defense called for a mistrial. The judge denied that motion but did agree to re-instruct the jury after prosecutors compared RIchins to a black widow and discussed the facial expressions she was making throughout the trial.

Last week, I found out that one of my kids' teachers unexpectedly lost her husband in a car accident. She's in her early 30s with a toddler, and when I was telling Ryan, I just started to cry. I don't often cry, so it surprised both of us a little. The truth is, I was crying for her — and for all of the heaviness that has been building in my heart for months. The political division, the international conflicts, the injustice — it has felt like a lot lately. My teenage son sometimes says to me when we talk about hard things, "Mom, why does life have to be so hard?" And I tell him, "I don't know, Buddy. But you're right — and I also know that it is beautiful too."This week's guest is Shannan Martin, bestselling author of the brand new book Counterweights, and she has a practice for holding both of those things at once. In this episode, you'll learn:

What happens when life keeps knocking you down — job loss, divorce, the death of a child, a failing business, a spinal crisis — and you keep getting back up anyway? In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Jarrod Barakett , President of Light Systems, to explore one of the most remarkable resilience stories you'll ever hear. Jarrod Barakett's journey is a masterclass in accountability, forward-focused thinking, and the healing power of frequency — and his message will stay with you long after the episode ends.  About Jarrod Barakett   Jarrod Barakat is the President of Light Systems, a global wellness technology company with centers in dozens of countries worldwide. Jarrod has rebuilt his life multiple times through tragedy, betrayal, and loss. He's a passionate advocate for personal accountability, intentional living, and the body's innate capacity to heal.  What You'll Hear in This Episode  How a jealous boss ended Jarrod's 30-year career in golf — and what he did the very next morning that set the tone for everything that followed  Why Jarrod refused to ask "why me?" and instead asked "what's next?" — and the visualization practice his father taught him at age 8 that made this possible  The devastating loss of his 12-year-old daughter in a boating accident in 2018, and how he found the will to keep going  How a business partner's addiction cost Jarrod what was meant to be his retirement — and why he still refuses to see himself as a victim  The spinal crisis that left him facing potential paralysis, and the technology that helped him return to the gym at week 10 (when doctors said wait six months)  Why Jarrod tried three therapists and found that his support network of close friends and family served him better — and what that teaches us about finding the right healing path for you  The concept of personal accountability as a healing tool: how Jarrod came to understand that the frequency we put out shapes everything around us  Key Takeaways  Betrayal doesn't have to define your trajectory. Jarrod was fired by a jealous boss after a 30-year career. His response: shower, get dressed, go to the "office" — even when the office was an unfinished basement. He never stopped showing up.  Forward focus is a decision. The lesson Jarrod taught his daughter — and lives himself — is to stop thinking about what was and start thinking about what will be. It sounds simple. It isn't. It's a daily, intentional choice.  Grief doesn't have a timeline, but responsibility doesn't pause. After losing his daughter, Jarrod returned to work within two weeks — not because he was healed, but because his family needed him. He shares this honestly, without pretending it was the right call, but with deep insight into what kept him moving.  Your support system is everything. When tragedy strikes, the people you've invested in over a lifetime show up. Fifty friends flew in from Montreal and Boston for his daughter's funeral. That network was decades in the making.  You are 100% accountable — and that's actually empowering. Jarrod's most powerful insight: if you are fully accountable for every outcome in your life, then you are also fully capable of changing your future. The power is yours.  The body responds to frequency. After emergency spinal surgery, Jarrod discovered Light Systems technology — and went from excruciating post-surgical pain to training in the gym at week 10. The body knows how to heal when we give it what it needs.  Resources & Links  Find Jarrod on Instagram: @ JarrodBarakett   Learn more about Light Systems technology and find a center near you: lightsystems.com  If This Episode Resonated With You...  If you've experienced betrayal — whether by a person, a business partner, or life itself — and you're wondering how to find your way through, this conversation is proof that the human spirit is more resilient than we imagine. Share this episode with someone who needs it today.  When life delivers blow after blow — job loss, divorce, the death of a child, business betrayal, spinal surgery — how do you keep getting back up? Jarrod Barakett shares his raw, remarkable story of resilience, accountability, and healing through the power of frequency and forward-focused thinking.

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W Price sits down with mythologist and storyteller Dr. John Bucher, Executive Director of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, to explore how story functions as a living force that shapes our lives, culture, and sense of meaning. They trace John's early "graduate degree in storytelling" in a small Texas video store, move through themes like the quest to come home, reconciliation with the father, and the "magical orphan," and show how our favorite films reveal the deep mythic patterns we're unconsciously living. The conversation dives into archetypes, subtext, AI as a new cultural story, the loss of shared myths in a hyper-individualized media landscape, and the possibility of a "collective heroic journey" where groups answer a shared call of desperation rather than a single hero saving the day. John also offers very practical tools for "telling a better story" in our own lives, from changing our information diet to small daily rituals that reorient us toward hope, connection, and agency. Key Takeaways: John Bucher: Telling A Better Story Stories and myths are the "operating system" of the human mind, shaping how we make sense of everything from traffic to transcendence. What truly draws us into stories is not plot but theme, like coming home or reconciling with the father. Our favorite movies quietly reveal our core genres, themes, and unresolved psychological material. We are losing shared cultural stories, which contributes to loneliness and fragmentation. Finding a "better story" starts locally: in our media diet, daily practices, and small collective actions.

Grief, desperation, and hope collide when a father begs Jesus to save his dying daughter. Along the way, another suffering woman reaches out in faith and finds healing, revealing that no pain is too small and no situation too hopeless for Christ’s compassion and power. When Jesus finally arrives, he speaks a simple word, and death itself gives way to life. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris reflects on the day Jesus raised the dead and what it reveals about faith, suffering, and the hope only Christ can give. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260315dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:8-11 Light in the Lord If you get up early to go outside and wait for the sunrise, you know what it’s like to sit in darkness. Until the light comes, you can’t see anything because the darkness hides things, obscures things, and makes things impossible to see. But then, just as you think the darkness couldn’t get any deeper, you finally see it. The horizon begins to brighten in the east, and dawn begins to break. The sun begins its ascent into the sky, and its light is now cast all around you. It’s a total transformation! Everything you couldn’t see before is now visible. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Just as the sun breaks the darkness of the earth when it rises in the east each morning, Jesus has also broken the spiritual darkness that once covered our world and our lives. Oh, what an impact this has on every single day of your life! In the darkness, you can’t see. But in the light, you can! In the darkness, you can’t function. But in the light, you can! Now, you can live as a child of the light. It’s a total transformation! “Fruitless deeds of darkness” aren’t a part of who you are anymore because “You are light in the Lord.” Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Light of the world, and you have made me light by bringing me into the light of your forgiveness, mercy, and love. Bless and keep me always as you give me the strength to now live like who I am by faith in you, my Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Does it ever feel like there is a literal roar inside your head? The "should-haves," the "what-ifs," and that crushing mental anguish that fills the silence your child left behind—that is grief noise. It's loud, it's heavy, and it's exhausting to carry the weight of a mind trying to make sense of something that will never fully make sense this side of heaven.   In this episode, we step into the next part of our Permission and Practice series by talking about something many grieving moms experience but rarely know how to quiet: the noise inside their minds. Through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and the promise found in Isaiah 26:3, you'll begin to see that God is not found in the loud storm of grief thoughts, but in the gentle whisper that invites your mind toward peace.   Inside this conversation, you'll discover… Why the "grief noise" demands 100% of your bandwidth and how the enemy mimics your own voice to keep you in a loop of shame. The vital difference between having a perfect understanding of your circumstances and having a mind fixed on the Prince of Peace. How to identify the "wind, earthquake, and fire" in your own life so you can finally hear the gentle whisper of the Father. The two essential pillars you must seek to keep from burning out in the isolation that grief often creates. If your mind has felt like a battlefield and the noise of grief refuses to quiet, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone—and that God still meets weary hearts in the whisper. Press play and allow this moment to help you turn your thoughts toward the peace God promises. 

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260314dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 Live Today in Confidence This isn’t an easy part of the Bible to read. It says some very uncomfortable things about us. Here, the apostle Paul describes us as “ungodly” and “sinners.” Those aren’t pleasant descriptors. But unfortunately, they are accurate. And, because of our ungodly ways and our sinful thoughts, words and actions, our Maker could have let us die in those sins and be separated from him forever. It is what we would have deserved. But instead, God chose to love us! Yes, in an amazing act of HIS will, he determined that he would come to this earth for you and me and all people, would live for us, would die for us. In an amazing act of his will, he determined to save us. In an amazing act of love, Christ came and died in our place. God has chosen to love us with the most amazing love ever. So, you can live today in confidence, knowing that God is on your side, knowing that God loves you dearly! Prayer: Assure me that you have chosen to love me, dear Savior. Fill me with peace because of it. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

After a long and necessary silence, Kate is back - and she comes bearing something real. In this tender welcome-back episode, Kate shares honestly about the months she spent unable to show up: the depression, the grief, the days she couldn't get out of bed, and the slow, quiet process of finding her way back to herself and to this work. She reflects on what it means to be a guide for others when you've temporarily lost your own footing — and why trusting the wisdom of stopping was, in fact, the most important creative act of all. But this episode isn't just about the dark. Kate also shares the luminous knowing that's been growing in her even through the silence, a bone-deep sense that what we're living through right now, as painful and terrifying as it is, is nothing less than the birth of a new humanity. The ancient, tarry weight of old ways is rising to the surface to be burned away. And we - all of us, together - are the ones bringing something more beautiful into being. She talks about the unexpected conversations she's been having at her jewelry kiosk at Granville Island, the messages from listeners that finally tugged her back, and what this next chapter of the podcast might hold.

When it comes to megaliths — massive stones set in place by prehistoric people — Americans are probably most familiar with Stonehenge. But the U.K.'s landscape is punctuated with thousands of these majestic stones. Some are set in circles, others in rows. A few even form doorways that align with the sun at solstice. Long revered for their mythical presence, megaliths woo both curiosity seekers and die-hard enthusiasts. Fiona Robertson falls into that second camp. She was captivated by Britain's ancient stones from an early age. When she met her husband, Stephen, a shared love of megaliths drew them together. And it was the megaliths who comforted her and gave her room to grieve when Stephen was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Robertson's new book, “Stone Lands,” is part homage to the grandeur and mystery of megaliths and part memoir of a wrenching loss. This week, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Robertson shares her love and her consolation with Kerri Miller, as they verbally explore Britain's megaliths together. Guest:Fiona Robertson is a writer and dedicated stone-seeker. Her new book is titled, “Stone Lands: A Journey of Darkness and Light through Britain's Ancient Places.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Grief For Us All - In this episode Paul reads a couple pieces from friends about the importance of grievingCharlie Peacock - Only One Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG0hLXYOIYQIntro Music by: Luke Dimond

Episode Description "Grief does not get louder because you are weak. It gets louder because it has nowhere to land." In this episode of Grieve That Shit, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, talks about something most grievers never receive after loss: a true witness to their grief story. After losing her nephew Austin, Sharon learned that grief is not just sadness. It is the mind and body trying to process something life changing that the world around you quickly moves on from. While everyone else returns to their normal life, the griever often finds themselves living in what Sharon calls the alternate universe of grief. And when there is no safe place to speak the story out loud, the grief does not disappear. It loops. It replays. It grows louder inside the nervous system. In this episode, Sharon explains why the brain keeps replaying painful memories after loss, how unspoken grief stays trapped in the body, and why having a witness is one of the most powerful parts of healing. She also introduces The Story Room, a space created for women to share their grief story out loud in a room of people who understand, listen without judgment, and hold space for the truth of what loss actually feels like. This conversation is not about fixing grief. It is about finally giving it a place to land. Because grief does not need to be corrected. It needs to be witnessed. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why every griever has a grief story that needs to be told What happens when grief has no witness Why the brain keeps replaying painful memories after loss How silence can keep grief stuck in the nervous system Why speaking your grief story out loud can begin to shift the pain What makes the Story Room different from typical grief support spaces How witnessing someone else's grief can help you process your own Questions to Sit With After Listening You do not need to rush these. Let them sit with you. When did my grief story actually begin? Have I had a place where my grief could be spoken without correction or comparison? What parts of my story have I been editing or keeping quiet? What is my grief still trying to say? Homework for You Write this at the top of a page: "This is the part of my grief story I have never said out loud." Then start writing. Not the version you tell people. Not the shortened version. Not the strong version. The real one. Because sometimes the first step in healing grief is simply letting the story be heard. Resources + Next Steps If this episode spoke to you, the place Sharon created for this work is called The Story Room. It is a guided grief space where women can share their story, be witnessed, and begin processing grief in a room that understands. The Story Room meets the every Thursday.

Move over "conscious uncoupling". Divorce is getting a rebrand. This week, Monique Bowley, Stacey Hicks and Amelia Lester unpack Hollywood Actor Lake Bell’s unconventional approach to explaining her split to her kids. So, why is she banning the word ‘but,’ and is she onto something? Plus, Australian influencer Indy Clinton has gone viral for struggling with her sons kindergarten times tables, and honestly? Same. So, is homework still a thing in 2026 or is it time to let kids just be kids? And, a viral post by Jana Barrett has the internet talking about the invisible labor behind every successful man. He got the trophy, she got the school run. It has us asking, do we all deserve a medal for carrying the mental load? And our very own Jessie Stevens and Luca Lavigne are officially parents-of-three after twins Harry and Margot came into the world slightly earlier than planned. Luca checks in from the NICU "baby bubble" to tell us how they’re navigating life as a family of five. Our Recommendations:

They get into their incredible careers, why audiences can't get enough of monsters and the emotional truth that makes a great horror movie stick with you long after the credits roll.It's thoughtful, funny, a little creepy and  there are definitely a few fanboy moments along the way.If you dig the show, subscribe, rate, and share - and tell your friend who's always stealing your streaming passwords.

In this Agony Aunties episode, Julia and Emily respond to a deeply moving question from a mother whose son died suddenly at 12. Together, they explore the painful jealousy and grief that can arise when seeing other families, especially teenage boys, living out the future her son should have had. They talk about why these reactions are not something to be ashamed of, but an expression of love, loss and the life that should still be here. They also reflect on the fear of a child disappearing from the shared family story, the loneliness of child loss, and the importance of memory, ritual and connection. This is a tender, thoughtful episode about grief in one of its most heartbreaking forms, and a reminder that even the feelings we struggle most to name can be met with understanding.

From Krista: A few months ago, I was invited to sit with four people sharing a very different Israeli-Palestinian story than that which comes to us in headlines. They are members of the Parents Circle - Bereaved Families Forum, a very special community. It's composed of hundreds of Palestinian and Israeli families, who despite having paid the highest price of the conflict between their peoples, choose to metabolize their loss as ground of shared suffering and possible reconciliation. I'm so grateful to share that conversation with you now. You will hear their various stories of a transformation of perspective and path. You will hear me invoke a notion of "deep truth" from physics that is vividly with me in this time. Terrible ruptures and escalating violence are part of the truth of what we see ourselves capable. But they are not the whole truth, not the inevitable future. Courageous experiments in healing and transformation are also a reality of our time. In a packed room in New York City, I think we all felt like we were witnessing something unimaginable if you only judge the potentials of humanity from the extreme actions that shape what we call the news. The Bereaved Families Forum is extremism in a life-giving, heart-opening key. We left that room — and may you leave this listening — feeling a little bit healed ourselves, with a hopefulness become more magnetic and more reasonable. This event was hosted by the American Friends of the Parents Circle – Bereaved Israelis and Palestinians for Peace. My conversation partners were Robi Damelin, Arab Aramin, Mohamed Abu Jafar, and Liora Eilon. Liora, who lost her son in their kibbutz on October 7, 2023, is one of the newest members of this group.  __ Listen to Krista's original conversation with Robi Damelin and Ali Abu Awaad in the On Being podcast feed; the episode is called “No More Taking Sides”.

Many of us want to trust our intuition — but it's rarely that simple. Old patterns, trauma responses, people-pleasing, anxiety, and our nervous system can all speak loudly inside us. When those voices mix together, it can feel confusing to know what's actually intuition and what's something else entirely. If you've ever looked back at a decision and thought “I should have known better,” you're not alone. Learning to trust your intuition isn't about always making the “right” choice, it's about building a relationship with yourself over time. In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah answers thoughtful questions from the Moon Studio community about intuition, discernment, trauma responses, and the deeper work of learning how to listen to yourself with compassion. In this episode, you'll hear: Why hindsight can make past decisions look like “mistakes” The difference between intuition and patterns like fear or people-pleasing Why we sometimes override our intuition — and what that reveals How Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work relate to intuition The role of protector parts, inner children, and nervous system responses Navigating intuition when you live with CPTSD or trauma patterns Building nervous system capacity to follow intuitive guidance How to stay connected to intuition during burnout, grief, or despair Using intuition to find support instead of forcing clarity Why some dreams we chase may not actually be ours How learning from experience turns “mistakes” into discernment The deeper question behind intuition: who you want to become If this conversation resonates with you and you'd like to go deeper into developing your intuitive voice, you may want to check out Sarah's Secret Studies: Intuition course: https://moon-studio.co/products/secret-studies-intuition-february?variant=49964951175463 Because in the end, intuition isn't about perfection, it's about learning how to listen to yourself.

 If you lose a spouse, you're a widow. If you lose your parents, an orphan. But we don't have the language for someone who lost a sibling – your first friend, your first ally, your first enemy (probably, at least temporarily). Grief always feels like a gut punch, but losing a sibling is a unique kind of pain that we don't talk about enough.  So today, I'm joined by Steph Wittels Wachs, former TTFA guest and sister of comedy legend Harris Wittels, who died in 2015 of an accidental overdose. We're talking about what losing a sibling means and sharing the notes, advice and insights from people who know what it's like to live in the world without their siblings.
