✅ Why weakness connects you deeper with your kids than strength ever could ✅ How to transform your dinner table into sacred space ✅ Ancient practices that can revolutionize your modern family ✅ The power of prayer retreats for busy dads   SUMMARY What if your family isn't broken and doesn't need fixing—but is actually a garden that needs nurturing? In this episode, Dave Brickey shares how shifting from a mechanical mindset to an agricultural approach transforms fatherhood. You'll discover why your weaknesses connect you deeper with your kids than your strengths ever could, and how simple practices like prayer retreats and sacred family meals can become life-changing rhythms. Plus, Dave opens up about his wife's miraculous healing and how walking through valleys as a family creates unbreakable bonds. Top 5 Quotes: "My strength points my kids to me as their savior, but my weakness points them to who my savior is." "Our families aren't broken and need fixing—they are gardens in need of nurturing." "The beauty of parenting is marked more by weakness than strength. No one has a bird's eye view into the messiness of someone's life other than a spouse and children—they see it all." "You can change behavior through control, but you cannot change a heart." "Isolation puts a magnifying glass on pain, and us guys—some of us are professional isolators." Key Takeaways: The depth of relationship you experience with teenagers was built during their childhood years through consistent presence and creating a safe space An agricultural approach to family life focuses on long-term nurturing rather than quick fixes and immediate results Ancient practices like prayer retreats, sacred meals, and singing together can transform modern family life Weakness and vulnerability in parenting creates deeper connection than always being the strong hero Spiritual family—mentors, spiritual grandparents, and community—multiplies the impact of seeing, knowing, and celebrating your children Isolation magnifies pain, while community provides perspective and hope during difficult seasons GUEST Dave Brickey is a lead pastor in the Northwest suburbs of Minnesota and father of four children in the graduation phase. He and his wife Stephanie describe their family life as a "beautiful mess." Dave is passionate about helping families shift from mechanical thinking to agricultural approaches in parenting and faith. He advocates for ancient practices like prayer retreats, sacred family meals, and building spiritual community as essential elements of thriving family life.

Angst in die Schule zu gehen, plötzliche Panikattacken oder Ess-Störungen: jeder Fünfte unter 18 in Deutschland erlebt innerhalb eines Jahres eine ernste psychische Krise. Das zeigen Studien. Trotzdem ist das Angebot an Therapieplätzen viel zu gering. In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt Lisa Hentschel vom NDR von einer 15-Jährigen und ihrer langen Suche nach einem Therapieplatz. Zusammen mit ihrer Kollegin Esra Özer hat sie die Situation bei Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrien in Norddeutschland recherchiert. Ergebnis: die Wartezeit für einen Therapie-Platz beträgt durchschnittlich sechs Monate. Zu lang, sagen Experten, gerade bei Kindern und Jugendlichen komme es vor allem auf schnelle Hilfe an, ansonsten könnte sich die psychische Gesundheit noch verschlechtern. Hier geht's zum Film von Lisa Hentschel und Esra Özer für Panorama 3, dem Politikmagazin des NDR: https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/panorama3/meldungen/Hilfen-fuer-psychisch-erkrankte-Kinder-und-Jugendliche-fehlen,kinderpsychiatrie110.html Hier geht's zu “Antonias Weg”, unserem Podcast-Tipp: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/antonias-weg/urn:ard:show:5905b608291c7217/ Diese und viele weitere Folgen von 11KM findet ihr überall da, wo es Podcasts gibt, auch hier in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/11km-der-tagesschau-podcast/12200383/ An dieser Folge waren beteiligt: Folgenautorin: Charlotte Horn Mitarbeit: Claudia Schaffer Host: David Krause Produktion: Christiane Gerhauser-Kamp, Christine Frey und Jürgen Kopp Planung: Nicole Dienemann und Hardy Funk Distribution: Kerstin Ammermann Redaktionsleitung: Fumiko Lipp und Lena Gürtler 11KM: der tagesschau-Podcast wird produziert von BR24 und NDR Info.

When most people think about workplace safety, they imagine hard hats, ergonomic chairs, or maybe active shooter drills. What rarely comes up—but absolutely should—is how people feel at work. And that's where psychosocial hazards come in.These aren't just buzzwords or boxes to check. Psychosocial hazards are the silent threats that show up in how power is distributed, how people are treated, and what's tolerated in the day-to-day culture of an organization. And yet, too often, they go unacknowledged—until someone breaks down, quits, or worse.Dr. I David Daniels joined me on DEI After 5 to dig into this topic, and what he shared should have every workplace paying attention.What Are Psychosocial Hazards, Really?Psychosocial hazards are the workplace conditions that can mess with your mental and emotional well-being. Things like:* Bullying or harassment (yep, still happening in 2025)* Excessive workload and unrealistic expectations* Micromanagement and lack of control over your own work* Isolation, exclusion, or lack of social support* Microaggressions (subtle, but cumulative and harmful)* Discrimination—overt or covertThese aren't just "bad vibes." These are real risk factors that impact how people think, engage, and show up at work. And if we're being honest, they're often written off as personal problems or interpersonal drama instead of being seen as organizational liabilities.Microaggressions: The “Small” Thing That Adds Up FastLet's talk about microaggressions—those quick jabs people might not even realize they're throwing. A joke about someone's name. A comment about someone's tone. A backhanded compliment about someone's hair or clothes. These small moments are heavy for the person on the receiving end, especially when they pile up over time.If people are spending energy trying to decode whether they're safe in a meeting or if it's “worth it” to speak up, that's not a thriving culture. That's a hazard.Toxic Workplaces Don't Just Happen. They're Built.A toxic work environment is often the result of unchecked psychosocial hazards. Maybe it's a culture of fear. Maybe it's leadership looking the other way when inappropriate behavior happens. Maybe it's the team dynamic that subtly punishes people for being “too different” or “too direct.”Whatever the case, the result is the same: employees disengage, mental health declines, and performance suffers. Burnout isn't always about doing too much—it's often about being in an environment that takes too much out of you, with too little support in return.So, What Can Organizations Actually Do?Addressing psychosocial hazards takes more than a wellness webinar or a ping pong table in the break room. Here's where to start:* Take a real look at the culture. What's being allowed? What's being ignored?* Train leaders to recognize and respond to harmful behavior. Silence is complicity.* Reinforce policies with action—not just paperwork. If people don't trust the system, it doesn't work.* Create real feedback channels. And act on what you hear.* Prioritize psychological safety. Not just for show—but because it matters.Leadership Sets the ToneThis isn't just an HR issue—it's a leadership responsibility. Leaders shape culture, whether intentionally or not. If they're not actively creating safety, then they might be passively reinforcing harm. Listening, transparency, and accountability are all leadership behaviors that reduce psychosocial hazards. It's time we stop thinking of those things as "soft skills" and start calling them what they are: critical safety tools.If your team is struggling, your retention is dipping, or people are showing signs of burnout—don't just look at the workload. Look at the environment. Psychosocial hazards may be the root cause.If you're ready to dig into what's really going on in your workplace and want support assessing and addressing psychosocial hazards, schedule a call with our team. We'll help you build a culture that's not just productive—but safe, sustainable, and truly inclusive. This is a public episode.

Julia Mayer ist Österreichs schnellste Marathonläuferin. Sie hält drei nationale Rekorde und ist 21-fache Staatsmeisterin im Langstreckenlauf. Doch nach ihrem erfolgreichen Olympia-Debüt in Paris kam nicht die große Euphorie – sondern ein massives mentales Tief. Panikattacken, Trainingsstillstand, kompletter Rückzug. In dieser Folge spricht sie offen über ihren Weg zurück auf die Rennstrecke. Wie schafft man es, dranzubleiben, wenn der Körper zwar Leistung bringt, aber der Kopf streikt? Im Gespräch mit Host Niki Löwenstein erzählt Julia Mayer, wie sie sich aus einem mentalen Loch befreit hat und warum echte Regeneration nur mit viel Ruhe, Verzicht und Disziplin klappt. Mindset, Bodywork, RoutinenGute mentale Stärke verwandelt dich noch in keine Spitzenläuferin. Ohne harte körperliche Arbeit und glasklare Routinen geht nichts. Im zweiten Teil des Talks nimmt uns Julia mit in ihren Trainingsalltag – und der hat es in sich. Neben zig Laufkilometern legt die 32-Jährige den Fokus auf viel Ruhe und Isolation. Auch Ernährung, Schlafqualität, Herzfrequenz und Laktatwerte werden ständig überwacht. Körperliche und mentale Höchstleistung entstehen nicht durch Zufall – sondern durch Struktur, Reflexion, Disziplin und die Fähigkeit, immer wieder an die eigene Grenze zu gehen. Was wir außerdem aus dieser Episode mitnehmen: Wie Julia dem inneren Schweinehund keine Chance lässt Welche Bedeutung das Umfeld für die mentale Gesundheit hat Warum Logistik bei erfolgreichen Rennen eine enorme Rolle spielt Welchen großen Fehler HobbyläuferInnen machen können Wieso der richtige Schlaf, genug Essen und Isolation für Höchstleistungen essentiell sind Viel Vergnügen mit dem Podcast!

Pediatrician Daniel Johnson discusses his article, "From isolation to innovation: the power of learning communities in health care." He reflects on the collaborative, case-based learning that makes medical training exciting and contrasts it with the professional isolation many physicians experience after graduation. To combat this, Daniel champions Project ECHO, a global telementoring model that creates virtual learning communities. He describes ECHO as "hospital rounds on Zoom," where an "all teach, all learn, all support" environment connects community practitioners with specialists to solve real-world patient cases, from the early days of AIDS to modern challenges like pediatric obesity. The conversation serves as a powerful call to action to formally integrate this model into the entire medical education system, ensuring clinicians remain part of a supportive, collaborative community throughout their careers.

Being single truly isn't the problem, the problem is the mindset that you have as a single person. Many people are already struggling mentally and being single makes things worst because they focus on the fact that they're single, to the point of it being their main focus! It makes the lives of many people more miserable and out of it comes loneliness, depression, isolation, etc. Just because a person is alone doesn't mean they have to be lonely but they are because of the mindsets they have and how they view being lonely.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

In this episode of Coaching In Session, host Michael Rearden sits down with Cesar Cardona, a speaker and mindfulness expert, to explore the journey of self-discovery, the power of mindfulness, and the balance between societal expectations and personal fulfillment.Cesar shares insights from his life experiences, including his transformative studies with Sri Lankan and Tibetan Buddhist monks. The discussion highlights why letting go is essential for growth, how self-discovery leads to inner peace, and why success doesn't always equate to happiness. Michael and Cesar also dive into the role of community, resilience, and vulnerability in creating deeper human connections.If you've ever felt disconnected, burdened by the past, or uncertain about your path, this episode will help you reframe your mindset and embrace your journey with clarity and intention.Key Takeaways:✅ True fulfillment starts from within—not from external validation.✅ Societal expectations can mislead individuals about their true needs.✅ Letting go of past experiences is crucial for personal growth.✅ The story of the monk illustrates the importance of releasing burdens.✅ Finding inner peace is essential before seeking external happiness.✅ Enlightenment is about realizing the vibrant self within.✅ Success, when externally driven, can lead to dissatisfaction.✅ Relationships should complement happiness, not be its sole source.✅ Self-discovery requires effort, introspection, and the right community.✅ Isolation in a hyper-connected world can lead to deeper disconnection.✅ Being kind to oneself is essential for long-term growth.✅ Embracing vulnerability can lead to more meaningful connections.Guest Links:

You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.

Marina sitzt wegen versuchten Mordes für über zehn Jahre im Gefängnis. Ihr Ex-Partner hat den Anschlag nur knapp überlebt. Die beiden haben eine sehr lange und, auf beiden Seiten, gewaltvolle Beziehung hinter sich. Marinas Kinder und Enkelkinder sind schockiert von ihrer Tat und Verhaftung, trotzdem können sie sich ein Leben ohne ihre Mutter und Oma nicht vorstellen. Die sitzt ihre Strafe ab und muss sich an den Gefängnisalltag gewöhnen. Das fällt ihr schwer, denn die Isolation und strengen Regeln nagen an Marina. Aber hat sie es anders verdient? Schließlich hat sie versucht einen anderen Menschen zu töten. Wie zeitgemäß sind Haftstrafen noch? Und muss Marina wirklich über zehn Jahre im geschlossenen Frauenvollzug verbringen? Diese Folge ist eine Wiederholung aus dem Oktober 2023. Autorinnen: Uta Eisenhardt und Martina Reuter Regie: Dennis Kogel Produktion: Bodo Pasternak, Katrin Witt & Nina Kluge Sprecher: Daniel Hirsch Redaktion: Kim Neubauer Und hier noch ein Podcast-Tipp: “Based on a true Story – Die Könige von Malle” https://1.ard.de/based-on-a-true-story-audiothek

We have to work and deal with our internal and early trauma. This can be more difficult to see and process without a reliable, trustworthy “other” in our lives. Sometimes it even takes an expert who can walk us through that journey in order for us to get to that safe space for healing and recovery.Today, Duane talks with Andrew Susskind about his book, It's Not About the Sex: Moving from Isolation to Intimacy after Sexual Addiction. They go into depth about attachment, emotional regulation, the need for reliable people to heal your traumatic wounds, and how we can do that when we're in recovery and still struggling with internal chaos. Andrew is a licensed clinical social worker, a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, a Brainspotting practitioner, and a certified group psychotherapist. The book is Andrew's passion project where he wrote about themes that have been on his mind for three decades now. Since then, so much has changed in the mental health field as well as the addiction and trauma world. Andrew's book reflects many of those changes. Andrew not only leans on the experiences of his clients but on his personal experience as well. In 1994, Andrew went to his first SCA meeting, which stands for Sexual Compulsives Anonymous. In the therapy room, he noticed that people were learning how to stop their addictive behaviors. However, that's just the starting gate. His book covers some themes and different areas of healing that can happen beyond stopping destructive behavior.In this episode, you will hear:Somatic Experiencing and BrainspottingThe mechanism behind our nervous system regulationThe concept of upregulation vs. downregulationWhy it's not just about sexHaving reliable relationships as a platform for healingKey Quotes:[06:57] - “Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting are both trauma healing modalities that focus on Nervous System regulation.”[07:40] - “One of the keys to regulating the nervous system is knowing when we're dysregulated.”[08:29] - “Someone who feels most comfortable in their skin feels calm, peaceful, grounded, and hopefully feels resourceful, resilient, and buoyant.”[11:51] - “Even though it looks like compulsive sexual behavior, on the surface, once we scratch the surface, it's really about broken-heartedness.”[14:20] - “When someone is trying to regulate themselves, it's actually an attempt to feel better.”[17:49] - “If you scratch the surface on anyone who's sexually compulsive, you're going to find some kind of avoidant attachment within that.”[23:08] - “If we're connected within and to one another, and to something greater than ourselves, that's going to create a platform for healing.”Subscribe and ReviewHave you subscribed to our podcast?

In this intimate snack episode, Miranda interviews Tracy about the power of community in healthcare practice management. Tracy shares why she believes the traditional approach of "going it alone" leads to burnout and how a community of practice model provides both practical business support and crucial emotional backing for healthcare entrepreneurs.  Key Highlights  The difference between community of practice and traditional networking - it's about taking off your masks and being raw  How isolation and solitude plague healthcare business owners, even those with great teams  The three-pronged challenge: full-time practitioner + practice owner + chief strategist roles  A real client story: discovering thousands in monthly losses due to double-billing text reminders  Why solo providers need creative business solutions while multi-provider practices need leadership focus  The value of 360-degree feedback systems for practice owners  How community support creates a sense of limitless possibility  Memorable Quotes  "When we feel as humans supported, we feel pretty limitless, like we can do anything."  "The blessing and curse of being a practice owner who's also a practitioner is pretty much working full time providing healthcare services and then the full time job as the practice owner."  "You get to take off your masks and just be yourself and be raw and talk about the hard stuff with other people who get it."  This episode reinforces why the Thriving Practice Community exists - to ensure healthcare providers have the support, systems, and community they need to build sustainable, thriving practices without sacrificing their well-being.  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A.

CHUKAT: Is Religious Isolation Needed Today? | STUMP THE RABBI (236)https://youtu.be/44RErIaueBUAll too often we hear the dramatic stories from people who decided to isolate themselves as a result of their decision to become Orthodox Jews. The problem is that these stories are full of suffering, confusion and hopelessness. What went wrong? In Parashat Chukat we learn about the extraordinary benefits Am Yisrael in the isolated desert. It seems like the question would be why did HaShem make life so easy for them, but so hard for us? Even when I isolated myself, I didn't get any food and water from Heaven? What went wrong? These and much more will be answered in this critical shiur that can change your life and perspective on the Torah obligations. Enjoy, Learn, and Be Holy.

What if the thing you're avoiding—being truly seen—is actually the key to healing?In this powerful episode, the speaker explores the contrast between isolation and intimacy, and how both can impact our relationships, our work, and our inner world. While isolation often feels like protection—especially in times of burnout, heartbreak, or exhaustion—it can eventually lead to loneliness and numbness. On the other hand, intimacy requires courage. It's about being vulnerable, open, and allowing yourself to be supported, not just in romantic relationships but in everyday life and professional spaces too.The episode blends neuroscience, yoga philosophy, and personal reflection. It touches on the role of the spiritual heart (hridaya), the healing power of physical and emotional connection, and the challenges of receiving support without guilt. Themes like overgiving vs. receptivity, self-care as a gateway to connection, and the need for balance are emphasized.Listeners are guided through reflective questions and even a gentle breath-based embodiment practice. The episode closes with a tender reminder: You are allowed to receive. You are not alone.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction  00:02:00 What is Isolation?  00:04:42 Defining Intimacy  00:06:15 Inner Narratives of Isolation  00:07:31 Yogic Lens: Hridaya & Bhakti  00:08:15 Acro Yoga & Building Trust  00:09:18 Science: Cortisol vs. Oxytocin  00:10:43 Intimacy with Yourself  00:13:09 Intimacy in Teaching  00:14:00 Entrepreneurship & Isolation  00:15:45 Overgiving vs. Receptivity  00:18:40 Self-Intimacy as a Foundation  00:22:30 Hatha Yoga & Balance  00:23:47 Why It's Hard to Receive  00:25:04 Story: Needing Help  00:27:27 Somatic Breath Practice  00:29:01 Reflective Questions  00:30:43 Closing Affirmations  —-------—-------—-

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I all alone?” In this heartfelt and honest episode, I'm joined by author, Val Walker to explore one of the most tender—and often silent—struggles many women face: isolation and loneliness in adulthood. Val shares the powerful story that sparked her journey into researching loneliness. Val's story highlights the harsh realities of and complicated emotions surrounding isolation. She also discusses how even a friend's abandonment isn't always what it seems. Finally, Val's story highlights forgiveness, reconciliation, and her own passion for helping others realize this simple truth - you are not alone. In fact, any one of us can become isolated through various life circumstances. The good news, though, is that, with a bit of effort, we can also find our way back from isolation and loneliness. We can find our way back to connection and community.

The Daytona founders - Ivan Burazin and Vedran Jukic - discuss their pivot to an AI agent cloud. We dig into the new infrastructure requirements of developing agents that need their own sandboxes to operate in.A year ago, we had them on to talk about Daytona giving us remote development environments for humans, and they have now pivoted the company to focusing on providing cloud hosting environments for AI agents to operate.I suspect this is something we're all gonna eventually need to tackle as we work to automate more of our software engineering. So we spend time breaking down the concepts and the real world needs of humans developing agents, and then the needs of AI that require places to run their own tools in code.Check out the video podcast version here https://youtu.be/l8LBqDUwtV8Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Bret Fisher - Host Beth Fisher - Producer Ivan Burazin - Guest Vedran Jukic - Guest You can also support my content by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!Grab the best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes courses.Join my cloud native DevOps community on Discord.Grab some merch at Bret's Loot BoxHomepage bretfisher.com (00:00) - Intro (06:08) - Daytona's Sandbox Technology (12:57) - Practical Applications and Use Cases (14:29) - Security and Isolation in AI Agents (17:59) - Start Up Times for Sandboxing and Kubernetes (22:51) - Daytona vs Lambda (31:06) - Rogue Models and Isolation (34:54) - Humanless Operations and the Future of DevOps (47:17) - SDK vs MCP (50:15) - Human in the Loop (51:13) - Daytona: Open Source vs Product Offering

You might look like you've got it all together. You show up. You work hard. You smile, you joke, you say you're “fine.” But inside? You might be carrying more than anyone knows.  This is especially true for men. You'd never guess it by looking at them, but so many—maybe even someone you love—are silently carrying a weight that feels too heavy to bear. They're suffering in silence, quietly fighting battles they don't feel safe talking about. Not because they're weak—but because the world taught them that real strength means not showing emotion, not needing help, not breaking down.  In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by Steve Kramer—host of the Certified Mama's Boy Podcast and the Kramer & Jess Morning Show—for a very important  conversation about the epidemic of men suffering in silence. Steve opens up about the private pain he hid behind a public smile, how disconnection and emotional isolation nearly overwhelmed him, and what helped him begin to heal. We're shedding light on the emotional experiences so many men keep hidden—because they've never been taught how to talk about them, or even how to recognize what they're feeling. We'll talk about the real risks of going it alone, the quiet ways people often show they're not okay even when they say they are, and how men can get the support they need. If you or someone you care about has ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're barely holding it together behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.

Struggles that stay hidden don't just go away—they weigh you down over time, and it can start to take a toll on your health, your relationships, your life. You don't have to figure it out all on your own. There is space for you to be honest. To get support. To be human. There is help that meets you where you are.

Hello again, my dear.Tonight, I ask you to do something very simple:Turn out the lights.Now listen closely… because in this episode, we descend into the places light forgets—where silence has a voice, and fear finds you by feel alone.These four tales are stitched together by the same creeping thread: darkness.
