Listen Now Pet Hoarding On The Rise A new study, published in the journal Psychiatry Research, takes a look at the motivations of people who hoard animals. This latest study suggests that animal hoarding should be classified as an independent disorder with the hope of developing specialized treatments to help these people cope with the compulsion to collect critters. Animal hoarders acquire and live with dozens or even hundreds of creatures in their homes, causing suffering for both the hoarder and the animals. In the United States, authorities discover between 900 and 2,000 cases of animal hoarding every year. Listen Now Read more about this week's show.

Are Boomers Hoarding Wealth? And Why the Epstein Bill Is a Scam | Karel Cast 25-151 Baby Boomers are holding onto their money—and most plan to spend it all before they die. So are Boomers being selfish and blocking the next generation from building generational wealth? Or is it their right to enjoy the money they worked for without owing a financial legacy to their kids? Today we dig into the debate: responsibility, entitlement, and why Americans are so obsessed with inheritance. Plus, the so-called “Epstein bill” is nothing but political theater. Speaker Mike Johnson is already pushing Senate amendments to block the release of names—framing it as “protecting new victims” from “unproven allegations.” Translation: we will never see the full list. It's a distraction, a grift, and another example of Washington pretending to act while protecting powerful men. And in a surprise twist, Bill Maher and I officially have something in common now… and you may be shocked to hear what it is.

On today's episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we drill into a conversation everyone thinks they understand but barely anyone actually practices. letting go. Author and somatic therapist Melanie Smithson unpacks why the body always knows before the mind does. We challenge the cultural obsession with “move on” advice and explore what real release looks like when it's built on nervous system safety, curiosity and sensory intelligence.This episode is a grounded walkthrough of somatic practices, emotional processing, letting go without re-traumatizing, and remembering the innate freedom we had as children. Expect a no-fluff exploration of embodiment, stuck emotions, and why playful movement might be one of the most underrated healing tools on the planet.  About the Guest  : Melanie Smithson is a somatic therapist, movement practitioner, and author of Shake Yourself Free. Her work blends body awareness, emotional release, conscious movement, and playful practices to help people access authentic freedom and process stored emotional patterns. Key Takeaways  : Somatic healing starts with listening to where emotions show up in the body The body whispers first. when ignored, it escalates signals until we pay attention Many adults lose access to emotional fluidity due to conditioning, not capability Movement like shaking, grumbling, slow pacing, or free dance supports emotional release Suppressed childhood emotions often remain stored in the cellular body Letting go requires vulnerability and nervous system safety, not force “Hoarding upset” keeps us trapped in old stories while embodiment moves us forward Safety must come before surrender. emotional processing is not a race Somatic exploration prevents re-traumatization by meeting sensations exactly as they are Healing becomes more effective when practices are playful rather than punitive Connect with the Guest  : Explore Melanie's work, download the first chapter of her book, or order Shake Yourself Free here.https://www.smithsonclinic.com/podcast  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  On this episode, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our possessions connect with our sense of identity and self-concept, and why letting go can feel so threatening for those of us who hoard. We talk through how objects hold meaning, memories, and dreams for the future, and what it looks like to build a stronger sense of self without clinging to things. If you've ever felt like discarding something meant losing a part of yourself, you definitely want to listen to this one. We break down exactly why that fear happens and where to start. A plant pot associated with negative experiences. Discussion of emotional and aesthetic reasons for keeping vs. discarding. Objects “glowering" at us. Identity and Self-Concept in Hoarding Definition of identity and self-concept. Possessions and Sense of Identity The psychological process of possessions intertwining with identity. How this differs from typical sentimental attachment. Retention itself (rather than use or display) as a meaning-making act in hoarding. The difference between identity (roles, characteristics, life story) and self-concept (beliefs about self, worth, and abilities). Typical patterns seen in people with hoarding disorder: fragmented identity, externalised identity via objects. Psychological Fusion Between Identity and Possessions The concept of "identity objects" — how discarding items feels like losing part of oneself. Objects as external proof and storage for identity, memory, and meaning. Safety of objects over human relationships. The cycle of validation and shame in hoarding. Pathways to Possession-Identity Fusion Childhood experiences and boundary violations leading to control needs. Identity confusion and external markers for self-definition. Psychological ownership: objects as self-extension. Functions of retained objects—proof of past, present, and future self. Anthropomorphism and obligations to objects. Executive function challenges: objects as external memory aids. Perfectionism and fantasy identity protection. Influence of cultural materialism and marketing. The Fear of Losing Identity When Discarding Objects "Throwing away part of myself." Three psychological routes for ownership: control, intimate knowledge, and personal investment. The role of control and avoidance of uncertainty. The painful admission of poor judgment (e.g., unworn clothing) when discarding. Possessions as Identity Markers Retaining items from past roles (retired teachers, old job materials). Holding onto objects representing hopes for future identity. Objects as evidence for important life chapters, relationships, or personal history. Psychological needs these objects serve and when that becomes problematic. Books as Proof of Intellectual Identity Discussion of books held as evidence of being intellectual, regardless of actual reading. Exploration of how objects can become substitutes for action and risk. Therapeutic approach to shifting identity building from possession to action. Community and Connection in the Hoarding Journey The loneliness and isolation frequently felt by people who hoard. The importance of community, connection, and peer support, including podcast listeners and accountability sessions. Effects of increased openness and connection on identity. Identity Shifts During Dehoarding and Recovery Changes in identity during the process of recovery and letting go. Building new narratives — sometimes research or recovery itself becomes an identity. Increased connection and belonging through shared experience and vulnerability. Maintaining Identity Without Excessive Possession Strategies for building identity through actions, creativity, and lived experience. Selecting representative or truly meaningful items rather than keeping everything. Observing how "non-hoarding" individuals make decisions about sentimental items. Discomfort and growth opportunities in sharing one's journey while still in progress. The value of authenticity and vulnerability. First Steps for Listeners Fearing Loss of Self Through Discarding Acknowledging that fear is rational and understandable. Suggesting mindful observation of attachment thoughts. Testing beliefs by gentle action, e.g., creative tasks with what is already available. Finding supportive people for accountability and encouragement. Reflective work on personal values — building identity from the inside. Reassurance that identity predates possessions and is not dependent on them. Objects as scaffolding rather than the core of one's identity. Encouragement to trust oneself and to start building stability from within.

Have you ever picked up a bottle, paid top dollar for it, got it home and MEH. Or you buy it, get in the truck and have instant regret. We talk all about that and get a couple of listener write ins. Hope this episode is enjoyable.Thewhiskeyshaman.comPatreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Whiskey buying remorse is a specific type of buyer's remorse, which is the feeling of regret, anxiety, or guilt that occurs after making a purchase. In the context of whiskey, this feeling is triggered by a variety of factors related to the characteristics of a bottle, the price, and the purchasing experience. Common reasons for whiskey buying remorseDidn't meet expectations: This is a major cause of regret for whiskey drinkers. You may have bought a bottle that had received glowing reviews, but once you try it, the flavor profile doesn't live up to the hype.Overpaying for a bottle: With the high demand for certain whiskies, prices can become inflated. Remorse often sets in when a drinker feels they paid a premium for a bottle that doesn't offer a quality-to-price ratio that they can justify.Buying on a whim: An impulse purchase can lead to regret, especially when you haven't had a chance to taste the whiskey beforehand. This is a riskier strategy than sticking to a tried-and-true favorite or a bottle you've previously sampled.Discovering it's not a good fit: Some whiskies, despite being well-regarded, may not suit your personal taste. You may find you simply don't enjoy the flavor profile, leaving you with a bottle you struggle to finish.Hoarding instead of drinking: Some collectors experience remorse when they realize they're accumulating bottles without enjoying them. The point of buying whiskey is to drink it, and if it becomes just another museum piece, the purchase can feel pointless. Whisk(e)y purchases that you regret? : r/whiskey - RedditApr 14, 2021 — Anyone who doesn't have a strict, “Don't buy it unless you've tried it.” rule probably has at least one regret. I know...RedditExpensive bourbons for sale: Some rare bottles aren't worth ...Jul 8, 2019 — I've never been good at science, and despite an abundance of education on all things whiskey, I can't tell you what mak...The Courier-Journal·Dana McMahanHow to avoid whiskey buying remorseTaste before you buy: This is the most effective way to prevent remorse. If you can, try a sample at a bar or with a friend before committing to a full bottle.Research thoroughly: Before making a purchase, especially a costly one, read a variety of reviews and opinions from different sources. Don't rely on just one person's assessment.Set a budget: Establish a spending limit and stick to it. This can prevent the regret that comes with overspending on an expensive bottle.Identify your triggers: Pay attention to what makes you make impulsive purchases, such as a flashy marketing campaign or an enticing sale. Recognize these triggers and avoid them.Ask for help: If you're unsure, ask knowledgeable staff at a liquor store for a recommendation based on your preferences. Working with an expert can help guide you toward a satisfying choice. In addition to not meeting expectations, overpaying, or buying on a whim, people experience whiskey buying remorse for other reasons related to taste, collector pressure, and disappointment with specific characteristics. Disappointment with the tasteUnpleasant or off-tasting flavor: Sometimes a whiskey has a genuinely bad or unpleasant taste that makes it difficult to drink. This can include flavors that taste "medicinal" or "funky".Too much oak influence: While age is often associated with quality, older whiskeys can sometimes have an overpowering "woody" or oak flavor that masks other notes.

What's the difference between hoarding and investing? There's a reason markets built on productive assets—like stocks and bonds—are far larger than hoarding markets such as gold and cryptocurrency.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Many of us hoard because we believe we're making ourselves ready for anything life throws at us, but the reality is that no amount of “just in case” clutter can truly prepare us for every scenario. In this episode, I break down the myth of preparedness, explore how hoarding can actually make us less equipped for real emergencies, and talk about why resourcefulness matters much more than having piles of stuff. The Myth of Being Prepared for Every Eventuality Exploration of the comforting idea behind keeping possessions to be “ready” for anything. Recognition that life is unpredictable and impossible to fully prepare for. Infinite Possibilities vs. Realities Discussion of how each item is kept for imagined infinite scenarios. The logical impossibility of keeping items for every scenario (need for infinite space and money). Emotional and anxiety-driven decision-making despite logical understanding. Specificity of Items and Mismatched Preparation Example of items with specific uses that don't match actual needs when situations arise. The paradox of saving more items not solving the mismatch issue. Emphasis that saving more increases clutter but doesn't increase preparedness. Sensible Preparation vs. Over-Preparation Differentiation between healthy, reasonable preparation (e.g., first aid kit) and hoarding excess. The importance of context when deciding what to keep. The Role of Resourcefulness Real-life anecdotes (tampon as nosebleed fix, ballpoint pen tracheotomy) illustrating resourcefulness over mere possession. Recognition of creativity and adaptability as coping strategies. Importance of improvisation and problem-solving in handling emergencies. Asking for Help and Community Support Discussion of the difficulty and value in seeking help from others. Mention of the podcast's accountability sessions as a supportive community resource. Irony of Over-Preparedness: How Hoarding Reduces Actual Preparedness Analysis of how clutter inhibits effective response to emergencies (e.g., inability to locate items, blocked exits). Emotional and mental burden caused by excessive possessions. Emotional Drivers of Hoarding and Over-Preparedness Exploration of the underlying anxieties and emotional needs that drive hoarding. Misconception that acquiring more will eventually soothe anxiety. Discussion about the lack of true satisfaction or security from excessive possessions. The Illusion of Vindication Occasional moments when a hoarded item becomes useful, creating a sense of justification. Cost-benefit analysis: space, annoyance, energy, and opportunity cost versus occasional convenience. Distinguishing Between Convenience and Necessity Recognition that the vast majority of saved items are never useful. Importance of resourcefulness and adaptability over keeping every possible item. Everyday Adaptation and Coping Examples of daily improvisation and making do (e.g., using coins as screwdrivers, managing without umbrellas). Emphasis on resilience and ability to cope with small inconveniences. The Trap of Occasional Justification Analogy to gambling: occasional “wins” reinforce maladaptive habits. Warning against letting rare vindications justify continued hoarding. Embracing “Good Enough” and Trusting Future Capabilities Acceptance that total preparedness is impossible. Focus on nourishment, present needs, and trusting future resilience and creativity. The freeing power of letting go of the need for complete preparedness. True security and preparedness come from adaptability and trust, not material accumulation.
