Podcasts about Growing Up

We start with a chilling tale of a childhood spent in a house that refused to rest quietly. From trembling beds to shadowed visitors, this story reminds us that sometimes the past doesn't stay buried within old walls. Then, we journey across the pond for a museum visit that turns unexpectedly dark, where centuries-old stone seems to hold on to more than just history. From haunted homes to spectral pets, unnerving dreams, and even a strange sight in the skies, tonight's callers deliver a full spectrum of the unexplained. Whether it's something that reaches from beyond—or a mystery written into time itself—you'll be left wondering what truly lingers in the places we think we know. Stay spooky and settle in for another unforgettable night around the Campfire. BETTERHELP This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try.

Today, we're talking about such a pressing consideration for anyone raising a kid these days — what it means for today's generation of kids to grow up with very public lives and coming of age in a digital world where so many aspects of their lives are online and available for public consumption, not to mention that much of their important work of identity formation is being shaped by the media and technology they interact with. My guest, Devorah Heitner, gets into all of this in her brand new and essential book for any parent, Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World. For this conversation, I asked Devorah to talk us through what I see as some of the more pressing issues for parents like us, including how to balance a child's right to privacy in their texts and online lives with valid concerns about online influences and engagement when that child is dealing with anxiety, depression or other mental health disorder, the impact of social media on kids who may already be struggling to fit in and find their people, and how many homework and grading apps used by schools may actually be undermining our kids development of executive function skills and creating additional stress for parents.   Things you'll learn How to navigate the transition from being highly involved in a children's tech life to respecting their privacy Why violating our kids' trust by reading their texts will drive them further apart from us What to track or monitor when your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders How engaging in social media may impact kids who are struggling to fit in and find their people Why social media can act as an intensifier for whatever kids are experiencing and how it causes a dip in self-esteem What sharenting is and how to navigate permissions, cleaning up past shares, and more Why apps like ClassDojo are particularly challenging for families with differently-wired students How grading apps often work against differently wired students Learn more about your ad choices.

We're joined by Daniella Mestyanek Young, the author of Uncultured. She was born a third generation member of an influential family, within The Family International, better known as the Children of God cult. She escaped at fifteen, put herself through school, and graduated from college as valedictorian. Daniella joined the Army, became Captain, and she received the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. She was an Intelligence Officer in one of the Army's first Female Engagement Teams. In two tours and six years, she saw patterns in the military that were just like her experiences in the Children of God. Here are Daniella's 10 characteristics of a cult that we talk about: 1. Has a charismatic leader (and a skinny white woman) 2. A sacred assumption 3. The transcendental mission 4. Self-sacrifice of members 5. Limits access to the outside world 6. Distinguishable vernacular 7. Us versus them mentality 8. Exploits members' labor 9. High exit costs 10. Ends justify the means mentality Find Daniella online: https://twitter.com/daniellamyoung https://www.instagram.com/daniellamyoung_ https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellamestyanekyoung By Daniella's book UnCULTured https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250280114 We're also excited to announce that our long promised merch is here!!

We must find a way for Men to once again regain the knowledge base to provide in good times and in bad.

In this deeply honest episode, Heather sits down with her 20-year-old son, Logan, for a no-filters conversation about growing up, letting go, and what it really takes to find yourself in a noisy, pressure-filled world. From moving out on his own to navigating burnout, identity, and purpose, Logan shares what young adults are actually thinking and what parents often get wrong. Together, they unpack boundaries, burnout, psilocybin journeys, emotional awareness, and the messy, beautiful evolution from dependence to self-leadership. This is not your typical mother-son chat. It's real, raw, and full of insight for any parent, coach, or human trying to raise (or be) a conscious adult. You'll hear:

The boys talk about Maks' first HoCo. Drew won't stop stanning for Meet Me in St Louis.

Jim McKelvey did the impossible. He beat Amazon. The tech giant launched a product similar to Square's, undercut their pricing, and leveraged its massive brand. Everyone thought Square was doomed. But a year later, Amazon quit and even mailed Square readers to their customers.

In this episode, Jim joins Ilana to reveal the secret to creating an unbeatable business, why ignorance can be a superpower, and how to survive the impossible as an entrepreneur. Jim McKelvey is the co-founder of Square (now Block), a billionaire entrepreneur, and author of The Innovation Stack.

Conner Coffin sits down for an episode of Cold Beer Surf Club with Santa Cruz legend, Mavericks pioneer, and all-around surf icon Peter Mel. Recorded just a day after the Big Wave Awards and with Conner's dog Finley curled up on Pete's lap the whole time, Peter reflects on The Eddie, the celebration of big-wave surfing, and the highs and lows that come with chasing the world's heaviest waters. He talks through his 2021 Ride of the Year at Mavericks, a wave 30 years in the making, and how the pure bliss of that moment was followed by days of solitude and introspection. The conversation dives into what it means to truly commit to a life in surf, the peaks and valleys, the recovery, and the discipline it takes to keep catching your best waves at 55. From growing up in Santa Cruz and pioneering Mavericks, to his battles with dark times, addiction, and rediscovering joy through surfing, Pete opens up about resilience, purpose, and gratitude. He also shares stories about the new generation of big-wave chargers, his relationship with Channel Islands Surfboards, Darc Sport Athletics, owning Freeline Surf Shop, and how surfing has evolved from the early Santa Cruz scene to the YouTube era of surf influencers.

There's something special about growing up in the 1960's. If you were a kid back then, you probably didn't realize just how iconic those everyday moments would become.

This week, we joyously celebrated a "Coming of Age" milestone for four young people in our community. The young adults have completed challenges, reflected on growing up, and performed acts of service to the community. To protect their privacy, much of their own presentation cannot be broadcast, but we hope you enjoy what we can share!

Before the flashing lights and the headlines, the Kohbergers were just a quiet Pennsylvania family. Then one December night, the world changed — and so did their last name. In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski explores the human cost of infamy through the story “Growing Up Kohberger.” What happens when your sibling becomes the nation's most hated man? What happens when your last name turns radioactive overnight? Through documented accounts, psychological research, and parallel stories from other families of killers, Tony examines what experts call courtesy stigma — the inherited guilt of proximity. He explores the moral injury of love and revulsion colliding, and the silent trauma of “ambiguous loss,” where the person you love is alive but gone forever. This isn't about the crime — it's about the quiet aftermath. A mother trembling in court. Sisters deciding whether to change their names. A family learning to breathe again in a world that won't forget. Because the hardest sentence isn't always served by the guilty. Sometimes it's carried by the ones who have to keep living under the same name. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #KohbergerFamily #Psychology #CourtesyStigma #CriminalPsychology #MoscowIdaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Am S-Bahnhof Düsseldorf-Derendorf prangt 1988 ein großes „Welcome to Magic's City“. Gesprüht hat es der Graffiti-Writer MAGIC – anlässlich eines Run-DMC-Konzerts, um die Besucherinnen und Besucher in seiner Hood gebührend zu begrüßen. MAGIC und die Hip-Hop-Kultur sind eng miteinander verknüpft – das war damals ganz normal. Jugendliche in Deutschland ließen sich von den popkulturellen Einflüssen aus den USA anstecken und betraten eine Welt, die scheinbar zusammengehörte. Ob das wirklich so war oder nicht, wird in dieser Podcast-Episode zwar nicht diskutiert, im Mittelpunkt steht vielmehr eine spannende, individuelle Geschichte: die eines Teenagers aus Düsseldorf, der auf den Erfahrungen dieser Jugendzeit sein ganzes weiteres Leben aufbaut. Bis heute prägt ihn, was man damals gemacht hat – meist in größeren Gruppen, auf Jams, in einer Szene, die es in der damaligen Form heute nicht mehr gibt. MAGIC gehört heute aus verschiedenen Gründen zu einem Kreis Düsseldorfer Graffiti-Sprüher, die Bücher füllen könnten mit dem, was sie in über 40 Jahren erlebt und geschaffen haben. Sie setzten Standards, hoben sich von der breiten Masse ab, definierten technische Maßstäbe neu und realisierten komplexe Konzeptwände. Hier mal das Logo für HipHop.de, dort ein Plattencover oder ein Veranstaltungsflyer für eine Jam – alles griff ineinander. Was davon geblieben ist, wo MAGIC heute steht und warum die späten Achtziger, die Neunziger und die frühen 2000er so prägend waren – für die Graffitiszene und für ihn persönlich –, darüber sprechen zwei neue Stimmen im ILOVEGRAFFITI.DE Podcast: Oliver und Valentin. Der Graffiti-Writer Oliver Bartelds aka AMIT 2.0 aus Hamburg und der Soziologe Dr. Valentin Janda aus Osnabrück – der sich in seiner Promotion mit kreativen Prozessen beschäftigt hat – haben unserem Podcast-Host René ein Format vorgeschlagen, das mit einer etwas anderen Gesprächsstruktur tiefer in die Welt der jeweiligen Gäste eintauchen möchte. Die genauen Hintergründe dazu erläutern die beiden im Intro dieser Episode sowie im Auftakt der neuen Podcast-Serie selbst. Passende Fotos zu dieser Episode findet ihr wie immer auf unserer Website ILOVEGRAFFITI.DE Das Format mit dem Titel JUST SOME KIDS GROWING UP startet mit einem Graffiti-Writer aus der ersten Düsseldorfer Graffiti-Generation. In den folgenden Episoden kommen weitere Protagonisten mit unterschiedlichen Profilen aus der heutigen Graffiti-Community zu Wort. Viel Spaß mit dieser ILOVEGRAFFITI.DE Podcast-Episode #089 JUST SOME KIDS GROWING UP – und freut euch auf viele weitere spannende Gespräche auf diesem Kanal in den kommenden Wochen!

Eric Genuis grew up in Canada with a passion for music — but he never imagined it would lead him inside some of the darkest places on Earth. After receiving an unexpected invitation to perform inside a prison, everything changed. What started as a single performance turned into a life mission. Today, Eric has performed in over 1,500 prisons worldwide, including maximum-security facilities and both male and female death row units. He believes that music has the power to reach even the most forgotten souls — and his concerts often leave hardened inmates in tears. #DeathRow #PrisonStories #MusicHeals #TrueCrimePodcast #RedemptionStories #EmotionalInterviews #LockedInPodcast #BehindBars Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Michael Dilks served his country in the military before transitioning into law enforcement, joining the police force and later the Sheriff's Department. As a member of a narcotics task force, he helped take down major operations, making high-stakes busts and battling the drug trade in Florida. But everything changed when he began to suspect that members of his own narcotics team might be crossing lines. His concerns eventually led to him becoming the focus of an FBI and DEA inquiry — a mistaken suspicion that cast a long shadow over the rest of his career. Even though he was never charged, living under that cloud changed everything. After two decades in law enforcement, Michael retired — but instead of staying silent, he turned to social media to finally tell his side of the story. #DopeCop #DEA #FBIInvestigation #TrueCrimeStories #LawEnforcement #PoliceInterview #FloridaStories #CriminalJustice Thank you to BLUECHEW & GLD for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

What if the unspoken rules of your childhood are still shaping your adult life? In this episode of With You in the Weeds, hosts Lynn and Shay Roush share a deeply personal conversation in their Dealing With Your Addictions series. Shay opens up about his upbringing in an alcoholic family, revealing how it impacted his trust, emotions, and relationships.  Here are the sobering statistics: 1 in 6 U.S. children live with an alcoholic parent (1 in 4 with substance abuse); alcoholism drives nearly 50% of divorces; it causes 12,000 annual drunk-driving deaths and 232 million missed workdays; and heavy use shortens life by 2–24 years.  Shay's story highlights that behind every statistic, there is a person and family deeply impacted by alcohol. In addition to lost jobs, DWI's, and stints in rehab facilities, Shay's dad created financial fears that ultimately led to his parent's divorce. Despite periods of sobriety, Shay's father eventually died from alcohol, leaving Shay with a legacy of alcoholism that he didn't want to repeat.  This episode unpacks the 5 spoken rules of alcoholic families that perpetuate the cycle: Don't Trust Don't Talk Don't Feel Play a Role Deny the Impact As a child grows up in this environment, these rules foster Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs) leading to fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, perfectionism, and addiction tendencies. Shay's journey demonstrates how God's transformative power helped him learn healthier patterns of relating, and break the cycle of addiction in his family, allowing him to be emotionally present for his family despite early temptations. We believe that future generations can be impacted when you name and break the unspoken rules of your alcoholic family and allow God to heal the broken parts of your heart. We recommend the book It Will Never Happen to Me by Claudia Black, for further explanation on the rules of an alcoholic family.  Connect with us & Subscribe to our weekly newsletter!

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Doug Robinson; entrepreneur, operator, and founder of LGCY Power, for an unfiltered look at what it really means to bet everything on conviction. From a teenage lawn business to leading one of the fastest-growing solar companies in the country, Doug's story is a masterclass in grit, humility, and relentless alignment.He opens up about the collapse of Atlas, what it's like to hold the title but not the control, and how those failures forged his philosophy on leadership and ownership. Doug also unpacks his legal battle with Vivint Solar and Blackstone; the confidence it took to keep showing up when the odds were impossible, and how faith and forgiveness became central to his rebuild.This conversation is about more than entrepreneurship. It's about integrity when things fall apart, rebuilding trust, and finding purpose through pressure. A raw, real playbook for any founder determined to endure the valley and come back sharper.Chapters00:00 | Old Friends, Shared History02:16 | Growing Up in Cache Valley05:22 | Early Leadership Lessons from Sports08:11 | The Lawn Business That Taught Ownership11:48 | How to Manage Up, Down & Sideways16:18 | Embracing Change: From Missions to Management20:19 | JUCO Dreams & The Last Days at Ricks College23:04 | Door-to-Door Beginnings with Atlas25:44 | Production-Based Recruiting: The Sales Secret28:30 | Why Sports & Missions Built Great Leaders30:13 | The Atlas Collapse & Shattered Trust33:29 | Fallout, Finger-Pointing & Feeling Betrayed37:20 | Picking Sides: Apex vs. Pinnacle41:20 | Rebuilding with LGCY After a Broken Partnership44:44 | When Paths Diverge — and Why That's Okay46:48 | Leading LGCY: Pride, Pain, and the Lawsuit50:11 | Pitching Sunrun With Just Conviction52:15 | Winning Against Blackstone — And No One Cares53:43 | Why We Hold Grudges Too Long58:48 | The Call That Started Reconciliation01:02:49 | The Golf Game That Changed Everything01:04:15 | How Leadership (and Faith) Changes You01:05:27 | Solar in Crisis: $15M Lost, Lessons Gained01:06:56 | How to Survive When the Market Collapses Hosted on Acast.

Ever wondered if being “nice” at work could actually be making everything worse? Picture this: a leader so shielded by everyone's politeness that a single, cringeworthy comment in the halls of Congress nearly tanks a $9 million deal—while everyone else sits silent, protecting comfort over honesty.

Before the flashing lights and the headlines, the Kohbergers were just a quiet Pennsylvania family. Then one December night, the world changed — and so did their last name. In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski explores the human cost of infamy through the story “Growing Up Kohberger.” What happens when your sibling becomes the nation's most hated man? What happens when your last name turns radioactive overnight? Through documented accounts, psychological research, and parallel stories from other families of killers, Tony examines what experts call courtesy stigma — the inherited guilt of proximity. He explores the moral injury of love and revulsion colliding, and the silent trauma of “ambiguous loss,” where the person you love is alive but gone forever. This isn't about the crime — it's about the quiet aftermath. A mother trembling in court. Sisters deciding whether to change their names. A family learning to breathe again in a world that won't forget. Because the hardest sentence isn't always served by the guilty. Sometimes it's carried by the ones who have to keep living under the same name. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #KohbergerFamily #Psychology #CourtesyStigma #CriminalPsychology #MoscowIdaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

About a year ago, I sat down with my son, Sid, to record one of the most loved episodes of this podcast. We talked about what it's like to have a mom who's a sleep consultant, and people couldn't get enough of it! So, we decided to do it again.A lot can change in a year. Sid is now 13, a little older and a lot funnier, and I've grown another year in my business. Together, we thought it would be fun to revisit the conversation and share how life has evolved for both of us.In this episode, Sid shares his perspective on what it's like having a mom who works from home, how my flexible schedule impacts our family life, and some of the perks (and quirks) that come along with having a sleep consultant mom. We also talk about travel, freedom, and what it really means to build a business that allows me to show up as both a mom and an entrepreneur.If you've ever wondered what this career looks like from a family's point of view, or you're thinking about becoming a sleep consultant yourself, this conversation will give you an honest, lighthearted peek behind the curtain.Links:Sid's website: https://sidsrundown.com/If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

On today's show, we're chatting with Janelle Abbott, the artist and designer behind JRAT. Raised in her parents' Seattle clothing factory, Janelle grew up with an early respect for the labor that goes into making clothing.  After graduating from Parsons, she rejected corporate fashion, choosing a radically sustainable, zero-waste path.  Through her brand JRAT, she transforms discarded and found materials into one-of a-kind garments – her work merges activism, art, and performance—as she exposes fast fashion's farce through garment reclamation, reminding us that all garments are human artifacts. In this conversation, we're diving into Janelle's journey from growing up surrounded by sewing machines to her own craft in zero-waste design. We'll talk about how her design education shaped her view of the fashion industry, her creative process for sourcing and transforming discarded textiles, and what it really means to practice zero-waste pattern making.

Out from the Shadows: Growing up with Holocaust Survivor Parents (Holocaust Heritage) by Willie Handler https://www.amazon.com/Out-Shadows-Holocaust-Survivor-Heritage/dp/9493322882 Williehandler.com Growing up, the author and his family constantly lived under the shadow of the Holocaust. There was persistent tension at home. He was frequently told: “Finish your dinner. We didn't have food like this in the camps.” His parents only provided bits and pieces of their Holocaust experiences, since he “didn't need to know.” A few years ago, Willie Handler decided that he did need to know. Thus began a journey into his family's past, eventually revealing their extraordinary survival and painful losses. Their stories reflect not only the evil that swept Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, but also the resilience of the human spirit. His parents appeared to have taken some shocking secrets to their graves, forcing the author to view them in a different light. With the acknowledgement of his own buried trauma, and following years of research, he has finally stepped out of the shadows.

That's because talking only trims the branches—it doesn't touch the roots. In this week's episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez sits down with Anna Runkle, creator of the viral movement The Crappy Childhood Fairy, to explore why traditional talk therapy often fails to heal trauma — and what actually does. Anna shares how, after years of therapy that left her feeling worse, she discovered one simple, daily nervous system practice that changed everything. Within two weeks, her PTSD symptoms were gone — and her life was never the same. What We Cover • Hidden signs of trauma most people miss including disorientation, clumsiness, and feeling “off” for no reason • Why talking about trauma can backfire, and how to create space for real emotional processing • Emotional flashbacks explained and how preverbal trauma silently shapes adult choices in love, work, and life • Nervous system regulation techniques that bring rapid relief and help you reconnect to yourself • Anna's expressive writing method that helped her clear PTSD in two weeks • How trauma-driven decisions shape entire lives — from partners to careers — and how to break the cycle • The surprising power of simple movement for emotional regulation • A practical boundary phrase that shuts down conflict without drama • Talking ≠ healing. Over-talking about trauma can keep the nervous system dysregulated. • Regulation first, insight second. Healing begins when the body feels safe. • Old patterns drive new problems. Many adult struggles are rooted in unconscious trauma responses. • Healing can start fast. You don't need years of suffering to feel relief — the right tools can shift things quickly. • Connection is the goal. Regulating your nervous system opens the door to deeper relationships and real belonging. About the Guest Anna Runkle, known online as The Crappy Childhood Fairy, is a bestselling author, trauma educator, and creator of one of the internet's fastest-growing trauma-healing communities. Her approach to recovery focuses on nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and practical, self-guided tools for real-world transformation.
