ABOUT THE EPISODE:In this episode from the vault, I draw from my own experiences to share four counterintuitive strategies that can transform relationships and encourage healing when you're parenting a young person struggling with substance use and mental health. I emphasize the importance of asking questions instead of giving commands, focusing on self-reflection rather than solely on your child, trusting a higher power, and broadening your perspective to see the bigger picture. I've also included recommendations for books, podcasts, and exercises to support you on this challenging journey, promising hope and community support along the way.EPISODE RESOURCES:Episode 22 with Krissy PozatekDr. Brad Reedy's podcast, services & booksBeyond Addiction book and workbookEpisode 3 & 136 with Carrie Wilkens Ph.D.This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick get real about what a higher power means in recovery. They chat about how caregivers can really tune in to the spiritual side of healing, not just the stuff you see on the surface. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what your loved one is going through, especially when it comes to faith or belief, but Matt and Ryan break it down in a way that’s easy to get. They talk about how leaning on something bigger than yourself can give strength when recovery gets tough, and how caregivers can use that understanding to build stronger connections and support their people better. If you’re helping someone through addiction, this episode is full of honest talk and practical ideas that can make a big difference. Resources You can find us on X and Instagram: @sobriety_pod.

Emily talks about the notion of Higher Power, how it is separate from organized religions, and 12-steps being a spiritual solution of one's own choosing in recovery from family dysfunction.

Clint Hufft and Wendy Dahl discuss the role of a higher power in the 12-step recovery program, focusing on surrender, hope, humility, accountability, and moral inventory. They explore how the concept of a higher power provides emotional safety, encourages humility, and fosters accountability without shame. Wendy shares personal experiences with her brother's addiction and the family dynamics involved. They also touch on the flexibility of defining a higher power, which can be God, the universe, or the fellowship, emphasizing connection and trust. The conversation highlights the importance of personal responsibility and empathy in recovery.

The Mask and the Mirror: Seeing Yourself Clearly After Betrayal In this raw and revealing conversation, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaels explore what happens when betrayal, addiction, secrecy, or early trauma fracture your sense of identity. Whether you're a betrayed partner or someone who has acted out, this episode is an invitation to step out from behind the mask and face the mirror—to look honestly and compassionately at who you are, how you've been shaped, and who you're becoming. Together, Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn unpack how false identities are built from shame, secrecy, survival roles, or social expectations—and how reclaiming your identity starts by connecting with your core worth. They explore how trauma disrupts identity formation, why authenticity is essential for intimacy, and how rediscovering your core self is key to lasting healing. You'll hear personal stories, including a moment of vulnerability from MaryAnn about holding a sign that read “Porn hurt me,” and reflections on what it means to be seen, valued, and known—without hiding. Whether you feel lost in who you've become or you're just beginning to rediscover who you really are, this episode is a guidepost to help you move forward with clarity, courage, and compassion. Topics Covered: Identity loss after secrecy, betrayal, or compulsive behaviors How early trauma and sexual exposure can disrupt self-identity The difference between false self and authentic self Why intimacy requires honesty and congruence Coupleship identity before and after betrayal Core beliefs like “I'm not enough” and their influence on behavior The role of neuroplasticity in healing identity (Joe Dispenza) Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the concept of core self The challenge of letting go of survival-based roles or secondary gains How to begin reclaiming and rewriting your identity A practical reflection exercise to uncover who you are today Resources Mentioned: Joe Dispenza – On autopilot living and the science of change Quote referenced: “90 to 95% of what we do is on autopilot.” Key concept: neuroplasticity and habit stacking in identity transformation Brené Brown – On shame, secrecy, and vulnerability Quote: “Shame thrives in secrecy, silence, and judgment.” Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Exploring the parts of self Discussion of “core self” vs. protective parts shaped by trauma Barna Research (2016) – On changing cultural attitudes toward pornography Mentioned study: Teens reported it was more morally wrong to not recycle than to watch porn Patrick Carnes, Don't Call It Love Cited research on identity shifts post-recovery Key insight: Sober individuals often look back on their past selves with disdain due to identity incongruence Reflection Assignment: Title: "The Mask and the Mirror" Draw or describe two masks: The mask you show the world The mask you wear internally If you're spiritually inclined, consider a third: How does your Higher Power see you? Journal Prompt: Who am I without secrecy or shame? What is one belief I've carried about myself that no longer serves me? If I fully embraced my worth, how would I see myself differently? Bonus Question: How did betrayal or secrecy shift my identity—and how do I want to reclaim it? To learn more about healing and recovery, please visit www.humanintimacy.com

On the 129th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I'm delighted to welcome our guest, Neale Donald Walsch. Neale has written 40 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including his new book GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power. Neale is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series, of which seven of the nine books made the New York Times bestseller list. Book One remained on that list for 134 weeks. His titles have been translated into 37 languages and have been read by millions of people around the world.In this conversation, Neale discusses his journey in exploring humanity's relationship with God, emphasising that neither God nor love is transactional. He also shares the experiences that led to his first bestselling book and the life mission that emerged from those dialogues.This conversation invites us to engage with life in a way that contrasts with many cultural norms—by embracing love, deep understanding, and meaningful connection with others.For more of Neale's work, check out the following:Website: http://www.nealedonaldwalsch.com/Books: http://www.nealedonaldwalsch.com/Store/BooksContact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, my 5-week group courses, or to discuss experiences I create to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/- Exploring one-on-one coaching: https://www.whatisagood.life/p/one-on-one-coaching- What is a Good Life?

This week I'm bringing something hot & slightly controversial to the podcast: MANIFESTING WITH GOD Lately, I have been seeing online and even had a past client tell me, "I'm going to stop following you now because I found Jesus," as if manifesting and God/Source, Jesus, The Light, have nothing to do with one another. I believe God is the ultimate manifestor - He created day and night, heaven and earth, you and me. That DNA and power live within each of us. What we do with it is another question. When we join forces with God/Source, we can create good. When we disconnect from this Power, we can create unpleasant and sometimes painful experiences. This episode is not a preachy, religious thing. It's intended to grant a safe path for you to rediscover and reconnect to something bigger and greater within and outside of you so that you are creating the business and life always intended for you (one of ease, joy, soul service, and true fulfillment). I believe some interpretations and teachers of religion sometimes unintentionally disconnect us from our innate knowing and power by instilling fear, guilt, and judgment, which is the opposite of God/Source/Light. So in this episode, I was joined by my friend and Christian Business Coach, Diane Cunningham, to give you a real and supportive point of view of manifesting + God. She shares her story of manifesting with and without God We discuss whether manifesting with God exists within the bible What helped her recover from 14 years of drinking and overcoming other dark times in her personal life How she uses her story to help others now How to manifest without God (ie, create dysfunction, disconnection to Self, and pain) How to feel connected to God during dark times, especially with the state of the world 3 pillars on manifesting with God from Diane 1 powerful tool to manifest with God from Minerva If you enjoyed this, we would love to hear from you. Leave a comment or review. To connect with Diane, visit her site: https://dianecunningham.com/ To anchor into your Higher Power and power within you and start manifesting faster and grander than ever before in your business and life, then you'll want to jump into my new group program, Super Human Mastermind! 1st month free until July 1st | Visit here to learn more ➡️ https://www.goddessofwisdom.ca/super-human-mastermind

Note from Jeannine: So, this is a pretty big one for me. In 2020, while my studio was closed, I started manically listening to various podcasts every day looking for motivation and insight. One morning while sitting on the floor of our strength room, I heard the story of The Coffee Bean, as told through Clemson coach, Dabo Sweeney. The origins of that story begin in a jail cell in Texas - with today's guest. Interviewing him and telling him the impact his story had on me was a very cool experience and a reminder to me that my Higher Power is always working in my life...even when I can't see it. Special thank you to Dave from Dopey for connecting me with Damon. Enjoy!Episode description:Today Jeannine interviews Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice. Damon is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker and 3 x Wall Street Journal bestselling author. His bestselling business book, The Coffee Bean: A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change, was listed by Forbes' in the “Top Twenty Books You Need to Read to Crush 2020.”His autobiography, The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World, vividly tells how he transformed the pot of boiling water that is a Texas maximum-security prison into a pot of coffee.At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury. He turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign and eventually trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.Damon shares his story of how his first use of meth escalated into homelessness in 18 months, including all manner of tweaker hijinks, including a mail man hustle and stealing a car from the Texas Rangers police impound. We talk recovery, resentments, rebuilding after incarceration and never letting dreams die.

Jennifer Foote: Embracing The Higher Power | The Hopeaholics PodcastJennifer Foote, a resilient survivor celebrating five years of sobriety. Recorded at the Hope by the Sea treatment facility, Jennifer shares her transformative journey from a life gripped by alcohol addiction to one of strength and purpose. She recounts her initial resistance to rehab, sparked by a family intervention led by her sister, a judge, and her pivotal decision to extend her stay from 25 to 105 days to solidify her recovery. Jennifer opens up about critical moments, including a frightening incident at rehab where Chad's compassionate intervention kept her grounded, and her son's overlapping treatment at the same facility, facilitated by her advocacy and Chad's support. She candidly discusses post-rehab challenges, such as a dangerous relationship with a fellow rehab peer that led to threats and her empowerment through learning to shoot for self-defense. Jennifer also reflects on her sister's unwavering support, her reinstatement in the oil and gas industry, and a reconciliatory trip to South Africa. With humor and vulnerability, she addresses ongoing concerns, like her son's depression after his father's passing and her commitment to sobriety by viewing alcohol as poison.#thehopeaholics #redemptionepisode #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

For this episode we're joined in our Hammersmith lair by the highly respected Chris Bohn, known better these days by his alias Biba Kopf (cue a nod to Berlin Alexanderplatz author Alfred Döblin...) The veteran NME contributor and sometime editor-in-chief of The Wire talks about his long career as a Europhile connoisseur of extreme and out-there music. We start by asking our guest about his mother's experience as a teenage refugee fleeing her native Silesia after the advance of the Red Army in 1945 – and her subsequent settling in the English Midlands. We learn about Chris' journalistic training on the Sutton Coldfield News and his subsequent travels around Europe, where he reconnected with relatives in West (and East) Germany. Chris reminisces about his first London job as a press officer for Polydor Records, for whom he chaperoned Siouxsie & the Banshees to tapings of Top of the Pops. He then talks us through his writing career from Melody Maker and NME to decades-long association with The Wire. Among the articles mentioned are his 1979 live review of Joy Division, his groundbreaking 1981 on-the-road piece "Trans-Europe Express", and his interviews with Nina Hagen (1979) and Einstürzende Neubauten (1983). Discussion of The Wire leads us into clips from an audio interview with Wire icon Ornette Coleman … by Wire mainstay David Toop. We conclude the episode by paying heartfelt tribute to two Californian geniuses who left us this week: Family Stone funk pioneer Sly Stone and the Beach Boys' "pocket symphonist" Brian Wilson. We shall not see – or hear – their like again. Many thanks to special guest Chris Bohn a.k.a. Biba Kopf.

Forgiving What You Can't Forget — A Holistic Healing JourneyIn this deeply personal episode, I take you inside the raw and sacred journey of healing from trauma, grief, and betrayal—especially when forgiveness seems impossible.Whether the person who hurt you has passed away, remains unapologetic, or no longer remembers what they did, this conversation is for the ones carrying heavy memories in silence. I open up about my own healing path—what was unearthed after a life-altering neurological event, how my body began to speak the truth I once buried, and how I've come to understand forgiveness not as a gift for others, but a reclamation for myself.This is not forgiveness through a lens of religious shame or perfection—but a spiritual, holistic return to self. We talk about somatic trauma, inner child connection, how to work with a Higher Power outside the confines of organized religion, and what it means to finally stand in grace, not pain.If you're ready to let go of what's been weighing you down—not to forget, but to be free—this episode offers space, compassion, and tools to support you.You deserve to return home to yourself. And this is where that journey begins.Deanna Byrne is a trauma-informed holistic healing practitioner, transformational coach, breathwork and meditation facilitator, and lifelong cycle-breaker.

Questions about what to ask someone who believes merely in a “higher power,” how to make a case for the existence of the afterlife, and whether or not we can use Revelation 22:18 as evidence that the Book of Mormon isn't divinely inspired.   What questions should I ask someone I'm working with to help him think beyond a belief in a “higher power”?

How would you respond to Mormons who objected to my using Revelation 22:18 to explain why I don't think the Book of Mormon is divinely inspired?
