Podcasts about honest conversations

Are you struggling with learning how to cope as a special needs parent when alcohol has been your go-to for years? Amy once felt the same way—thinking wine was the only way to take the edge off. But during a 30-day alcohol experiment, she uncovered something surprising: her drinking had less to do with parenting challenges and more to do with old coping patterns she'd carried for years. In this Where Are They Now chat with Coach Hayley, Amy opens up about how going alcohol-free has helped her show up differently as a mom, let go of micromanaging, and even lean back into supporting the very community she once wanted to escape. In this episode, Amy and Hayley catch up on: How Amy's "sneaky" relationship with alcohol masked deeper coping patterns Why The Alcohol Experiment was just the beginning of her real transformation How to cope as a special needs parent by addressing root causes, not just symptoms Why her drinking habits had nothing to do with special needs parenting challenges Learning to feel emotions instead of shoving them down with alcohol and other substances Shifting from anxiety-driven micromanagement to mindful, empowered parenting Applying the same "why" questions to break patterns with sugar, caffeine, and social media Professionally reinvesting in supporting individuals with diagnoses after her transformation And more… Episode links: Start Your Alcohol Experiment - www.alcoholexperiment.com Related Episodes: Special Needs and Drinking - Amy's Naked Life -E313 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-313-naked-life-story-amy-m/ From Isolation to Connection: Finding Your Way Alcohol-Free - Alcohol Freedom Coaching - E825 - https://thisnakedmind.com/feeling-lost-after-quitting-drinking-e825/ Sharing Your Personal Journey with Alcohol: A Guide to Honest Conversations and Healing Connections - Reader's Question - E620 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-618-readers-question-annie-graces-tips-for-dealing-with-family-members-who-continue-to-drink-2/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

You already know we're open books around here, so when we sat down to record an episode of things you might not know about us, we quickly realized… this was harder than it sounded! We share so much on this podcast, but we did manage to find a few fun and unexpected things that even our most loyal listeners may not have heard before.Amy kicks things off by sharing one about Abby—let's just say Abby sometimes thinks the rules don't apply to her. If she doesn't agree with a rule, she's not likely to follow it. Meanwhile, Amy's perspective on rules might surprise you. We also dig into how each of us handles stress and uncertainty. Amy's not particularly attached to things and has a grounded belief that unless something bad happens to someone she loves, everything will be okay. Abby, on the other hand, tends to think in terms of the worst case scenario—if something goes wrong, her first thought is usually, “How much work is this going to cause me?”We also compare our spending habits. When you think of a “big purchase,” what amount comes to mind? Amy shares her number—and it might not be what you expect. While Amy is more cautious about bigger buys, she is also the queen of small, repeated purchases. Whereas Abby, even if she's hungry, she'll wait until she's home to eat what's already there.You'll also hear why Abby is easily influenced, how Amy falls down the doom-scrolling rabbit hole, and which one of us prefers multitasking while watching TV versus doing things in total silence. And finally, Amy shares what she means when she says she has a calling to be a wild and free animal.This one's lighthearted, real, and full of those behind-the-scenes stories that make us who we are. Tune in for laughter, a few surprises, and maybe a deeper understanding of why we each do the things we do.LINKS AND RESOURCES:BETTERHELP: 10% off first month at: http://betterhelp.com/herselfLMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

In this episode, two parent-advocates - each with a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - share how ASD shapes communication, safety, and trust, and why lived experience should guide training for police, firefighters, EMTs, and courts. Together with Cheryl Stehle and Jamiel Owens, we explore misread behaviors, practical de-escalation, family preparation, and the need for policy that reduces harm.When neurodivergent people interact with first responders a single misunderstanding can turn a routine interaction into a crisis. We sit down with two parents whose lived experience with ASD reshaped how they see safety, communication, and trust—and how first responders can, too. Their personal stories and experiences move from early fear about ASD and confusing diagnoses to purposeful advocacy that prioritizes dignity and practical skills.We unpack what ASD really means in day-to-day life—why one person's eye contact challenges or stimming are not defiance, and how processing time, clear language, or a written prompt can lower the temperature fast. Jamiel shares how fatherhood and his role at the Center for Autism Research inform an approach that treats difference as a lens, not a deficit. Cheryl explains how AUTT training equips police, firefighters, EMTs, and juvenile probation with field-ready habits: pause to observe, ask neutral questions about communication needs, and look for tools like blue envelopes, ID cards, or a support contact. The message is simple and actionable: just ask, then adjust.We also talk about preparation within the family especially when domestic violence is present. An autism go-bag with headphones, comfort items, and a communication device can restore predictability during stressful moves or shelter entry. We discuss emergency preparedness practices for people living with ASD such as visiting police stations, seeing emergency response gear up close, and rehearsing traffic-stop steps that can prevent sensory shock and build confidence. Finally, we push for systems change: mandate recurring, lived-experience-led autism training across public safety platforms; create policy that normalizes optional license notations and standardized info kits; and fund community-curated resource hubs that actually meet families where they are.If this conversation resonates, share it with a caregiver, a first responder, or a policymaker who can put it to work.

You guys sent in some deep questions, and we're diving into all of it: navigating confusing parts of Church history, how to handle doubts when faith feels shaky, frustrations with garments, and finding your spark again in marriage. We also talk about judgmental family dynamics, forgiveness, and staying connected when a spouse leaves the Church. Thanks for being here, now let's dive in!

Traditional leadership models tend to choose between kindness and clarity. Zen teacher and executive coach Marc Lesser argues that's a false dichotomy.   In this episode, Sarah sits down with Marc to unpack the concept of compassionate accountability — or in Marc's preferred language, alignment with caring. It's the core of modern Entrepreneurship and Business leadership: setting clear expectations while staying deeply connected to the humans you work with. Instead of defaulting to micromanagement or passivity, leaders can choose high standards and high trust at the same time, the key to building high performing teams without sacrificing wellbeing.   Marc shares why psychological safety isn't just a cultural ideal, it's a metric that correlates directly with business performance. Referencing Google's Project Aristotle, he explains how teams perform better when leaders normalize mistakes, invite real feedback, and resist the urge to appear infallible. A strong team culture isn't born from rigid systems or motivational slogans, it comes from leaders modeling vulnerability and follow-through. If you've ever wondered how to hold people accountable with compassion, this episode is your roadmap.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Marc Lesser & Compassionate Accountability 02:51 What Compassionate Accountability Looks Like in Leadership 07:19 Misconceptions About Accountability and Compassion 13:14 Vulnerability as a Leadership Strategy 15:02 Google's Psychological Safety Study & Business Impact 20:01 Emotional Intelligence and Business Performance 24:51 Turning Breakdowns Into Breakthroughs 29:21 How to Hold People Accountable With Compassion 32:05 Leadership Lessons From the Zen Monastery Kitchen 34:06 Prioritizing Joy and Humanity in High-Performing Teams 36:21 Daily Habits to Build Clarity and Trust   Connect with Marc Lesser: Visit Marc's website   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Visit HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

They discuss teaching their sons critical thinking in the digital age, the importance of leading by example, and how they stay intentional about what they allow into their home. With moments of laughter, reflection, and even tears, Valeria and Gary discuss what kind of parents they want to be for their boys, and why, in the Lipovetsky household, accountability, integrity, and love are always at the core.

This week on The Follow Up, Bill, Jeff, and Jack go deeper into The Gospel of John chapter 3—looking at Nicodemus, what it really means to be “born again,” and why John the Baptist's words “He must increase, I must decrease” are still radically countercultural.They explore the difference between rule-keeping and true transformation, talk through how faith grows over a lifetime, and share some behind-the-scenes insight into how pastors choose sermon illustrations that make Scripture stick.

Dr. K sits down with Sadhguru for a rare meeting between science and spirituality to explore the roots of the modern mental-health crisis. Together they discuss how rapid sociological change, poor nutrition, and disconnection from nature are weakening our “human software,” and why inner engineering like learning to manage our chemistry and consciousness may be the antidote. Sadhguru challenges the Western split between “mind” and “body,” explaining how thought, emotion, and physiology form one system. He argues that most psychological suffering stems from compulsiveness, not illness—when the mind runs without conscious control. Dr. K probes how that idea fits clinical psychiatry, sparking a thoughtful exchange on chemistry, choice, and the limits of scientific frameworks. They move from philosophy into practice: what it means to take charge of your inner experience, how attachment and ego (“ahankara”) shape identity, and why love, relationships, and even stress are reflections of how well we manage our internal state. The episode closes with reflections on modern dating, dopamine vs oxytocin, and practical tools for returning to conscious, intentional living. Topics include: Why society's pace and environment are breaking our mental “software” The chemical basis of emotion, and learning to manage your inner factory Consciousness vs compulsiveness: the true axis of mental health The body as mind - why nutrition, breath, and movement matter Ahankara (ego) and the illusion of self-identity Suffering, stress, and the art of engineering your interiority Dr. K's reflections on dopamine addiction, relationships, and meaning This conversation bridges psychiatry and yogic science, offering both insight and practical philosophy for anyone seeking peace in an overstimulated world.

"People go for visits in prisons to comfort their loved ones, to empower them. Babu's case is just the opposite, it's us who get comforted and thus empowered", says Professor Jenny Rowena, wife of Hany Babu who has been behind bars for 5 years without trial. As we sit together with her in one of the most insightful and emotional episodes of all, we try to embark on a journey with her through their life, love and struggles.Do watch and share your insights.

Drew Hart joined me to dig into questions from our God of Justice class about his lecture on the black church and American experience. We covered a lot of ground—from Drew's own journey as a preacher's kid who found his tribe in the prophetic tradition of the black church and Anabaptism, to why James Cone's confrontational theology is actually necessary for real liberation (not just comfortable reconciliation). Drew pushed back hard on white progressive Christianity that performs solidarity without changing oppressive structures, explaining why gradualism is always justice denied. We talked about enslaved people adapting (not just adopting) Christianity into something radically different from what slaveowners preached, the messy reality of violence and peacemaking when your back's against the wall, and what a reparations God actually means—hint: it's about healing, not just debt calculation. If you want theology that takes the crucified Jesus seriously, rather than abstracting him into universal principles that leave power structures intact, this conversation delivers. Drew G. I. Hart is a public theologian and professor of theology at Messiah University. He has ten years of pastoral ministry experience and is the recipient of multiple awards for peacemaking. Hart attained his MDiv with an urban concentration from Missio Seminary and his PhD in theology and ethics from Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. He is a sought-after speaker at conferences, campuses, and churches across the United States and Canada. His first book, Trouble I've Seen: Changing the Way the Church Views Racism, utilizes personal and everyday stories, theological ethics, and anti-racism frameworks to transform the church's understanding and witness. Hart lives with his wife, Renee, and their three sons in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

In this episode of Grit Meets Growth, we dive into the power of open dialog—not the surface-level kind that stays safe, but the kind that creates space for honest reflection, real accountability, and genuine connection. We explore how conversation becomes a tool for grit and resilience, challenging us to admit when we're struggling, to call each other out when excuses creep in, and to carry one another's burdens when life gets heavy.From the everyday encounters that remind us there are still good people in the world, to the brotherhood being built inside Built for More, this conversation is about taking the mask off, leaning into feedback, and growing together through meaningful, face-to-face dialog.5 key insights from this episode: Open dialog fuels grit and resilience Real conversation is not just about sharing opinions—it's about having the courage to admit struggles, the humility to ask for help, and the strength to listen to feedback. That kind of dialog builds resilience and helps us grow through discomfort.Accountability requires speaking goals out loud Books and self-help resources can provide valuable insights, but without accountability, most lessons fade away. When goals are spoken out loud in a trusted group, others rally around them, creating support and pressure that makes growth stick.Connection and trust are built face-to-face In a world dominated by algorithms and social media echo chambers, true trust and connection come from human interaction. Sitting in a room together, removing the masks, and engaging in real dialog creates a kind of support technology can't replace.Feedback is fuel for growth Feedback isn't an attack—it's a seed. When we receive it with humility, nurture it, and put it into action, it becomes the catalyst for transformation. Defensive walls only block the growth that comes from honest reflection and outside perspective.Brotherhood creates lasting change Inside Built for More, men are experiencing transformation because they're no longer carrying their roles and struggles alone. Sharing openly with a trusted group shifts how they show up—in their families, their work, and their personal lives. Community accelerates change.One Truth:Growth doesn't happen in silence—it happens when you're willing to take off the mask, speak honestly, and let others hold you accountable.

Wednesday's “What's Buggin' You” segment for 9-24-25

Spencer Matthews is a very old friend of mine - we grew up together sharing some pretty embarrassing moments on television, making a name for ourselves as podcasters interviewing (and winding up) some of Hollywood's finest, in our podcast, ‘6 Degrees'.However, in the last few years, our friendship has begun to wane, and it's a question I'm asked all the time: "Have you and Spencer fallen out?". To tell the truth, I've never really known the answer to this… We've hardly seen each other for a number of reasons, and so when he reached out about this recording, I thought it's time to get to the bottom of this, because friendships are important and worth fighting for.We cover:Why he wasn't invited to my London weddingWhere he was during my ultramarathonsWild stories of our time on Made In ChelseaSpencer shares the lowest points of his alcoholismHow the grief of losing his brother as a child, has impacted his capacity for emotionsThis podcast was created for connection in a world of disconnection, and this episode is quite raw for me. Like many men, I'm not always the greatest communicator, and I think Spencer would say the same for himself, so having this opportunity to sit down together, and lay it all out on the table was really special.And I've got a new book coming out, Boys Don't Cry which you can pre-order here: boysdontcry.co.uk I also sat down with Spencer on his podcast, Untapped, which, if you loved this, you can check out too: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/untapped/id1788474884 If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: Instagram- www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcast TikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcast And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk THE CREDITS Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Rhoda Abrokwa Video: Jake Ji & Josh BennettAudio: Rafi Amsili Social Media: Laura Coughlan & Anthony Barter - Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

Steve and I talk about something we both know all too well: that awkward, subtle distance that can build up in a relationship when you're not saying what you're really feeling.We recently found ourselves in a place of disconnection, nothing dramatic, no big argument, just a series of micro misunderstandings, missed cues, and moments where we assumed instead of asked. Steve played the, 'everything is fine' card. I kept going into the, 'ah, no it's not'. We talk about:The quiet buildup that leads to emotional distanceHow easy it is to misread or misinterpret each other when we're not fully presentWhy the “I'm fine” act only works for so long before resentment starts to settle inAnd what it took to finally come back into honest connectionThis episode is for anyone who's ever felt a disconnect but didn't quite know how to name it. For anyone who's ever gone through the motions while something unspoken sits between you. Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Licensed therapist Rachel Elmore discovered this gap firsthand when she experienced postpartum depression after her first child's birth, despite her professional expertise.When established treatment resources failed her, Rachel created what became the foundation for her groundbreaking book "A Mom is Born" – the first postpartum resource written from both clinical and Christian perspectives by someone who lived through it. This conversation explores the comprehensive New Mom Wellness Plan that has helped thousands of women navigate early motherhood with grace and support.Rachel unpacks the practical wisdom behind creating a "postpartum pack" . Why accepting help isn't a burden but actually a gift to those who care, and how this vulnerability often leads to deeper, more meaningful relationships. Everything from handling meal trains and managing household responsibilities to navigating the significant hormonal shifts that occur even when weaning from breastfeeding.For those supporting new mothers, Rachel offers insight into creating truly welcoming spaces that accommodate both mother and baby needs. Most importantly, Rachel shares the perspective every struggling mother needs: "Bad moms don't worry about being bad moms. Good moms do that." The very act of worrying about your parenting indicates you're already on the right track.Whether you're a new parent, supporting someone who is, or preparing for future parenthood, this conversation provides the honest, compassionate guidance we all wish came standard with every baby shower invitation.

If you've ever wondered how to talk to children about death, episode 366 is for you. Author and grief advocate Clarissa Moll shares how losing her husband reshaped life as a widowed mother of four—and why honest conversations help kids more than protection.

After her husband's sudden death in 2019, Clarissa began writing and speaking about grief, parenting through loss, and finding joy in life's hardest seasons. She produces and moderates The Bulletin, Christianity Today's flagship news podcast, and is the author of Beyond the Darkness: A Gentle Guide for Living with Grief and Thriving After Loss and the children's book Hope Comes to Stay. Drawing on personal experience and compassionate insight, Clarissa encourages open conversations about death, resilience, and community.

After becoming a widowed mother of four, she dedicated her work to guiding others through loss, showing that grief, though painful, can nurture compassion and interdependence. In Hope Comes to Stay, she demonstrates how stories of hardship help children grasp both the reality of suffering and the possibility of joy. Clarissa stresses the importance of speaking directly with kids about death—avoiding euphemisms and giving them the language they need—and reflects on how modern culture conceals death, erasing rituals that once offered comfort. Ultimately, she highlights the irreplaceable role of community support—meals, childcare, presence—over the illusion of handling grief alone.Connect with Clarissa Moll:WebsiteInstagramSubstackLinkedInGet Clarissa's books!Let's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInTwitterThe Grief and Happiness Alliance Hosted on Acast.

Abortion is one of the most debated and sensitive topics of our time, and recently it's been flooding my comment section. Some say it's “just a clump of cells,” while others argue it's the ending of a life. In this episode, I'm not here to debate or water down what I believe—I'm here to share my perspective through the lens of my faith.We'll talk about free will and God's gift of choice, why our moral compass as believers is guided by the Holy Spirit, and why I believe abortion is more than just “terminating cells.” I'll share my personal convictions and even some of my own family's story to explain why this isn't just a political issue to me—it's a spiritual one.My prayer is that this episode challenges you to reflect, dig into Scripture for yourself, and let God reveal to you His truth.
