Antifa was officially labeled a domestic terrorist organization, yet Berkeley showed they still act with total impunity.

Hamas Cracks Down on Rival Clans in Gaza Post-Ceasefire. Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss how following the Gaza ceasefire, Hamas cracked down on rival clans and militias, like the Dughmush clan, to reassert its dominance. Hamas labeled the Dughmush clan, known for smuggling and past criminal activity, as Israeli collaborators. Anti-Hamas groups, including former PA security forces, are vastly outnumbered and less capable than Hamas, which remains the strongest faction in Gaza and uses these executions to deter future competition. 1922 GAZA

Apparently, choosing not to drink now makes you controversial. In this episode, Shane dives into the cultural weirdness around sobriety — why quitting alcohol freaks people out more than drinking too much, how clear-headed men are suddenly being called “radical,” and what this says about masculinity, culture, and freedom in 2025. From The Guardian's recent article “Mocktails for MAGA: Why the US Right Is Turning Sober” to the growing trend of men reclaiming their focus, faith, and families, Shane breaks down why a simple glass of sparkling water can now spark a political debate. You'll laugh, shake your head, and probably think twice about why society celebrates dysfunction and ridicules discipline. Because here's the truth, sobriety isn't extreme. It's clarity. It's leadership. It's power. And in a world that glorifies chaos, staying sober might just be the most rebellious move you can make. Key Takeaways Don't let culture define your character — “normal” isn't always right. True masculinity isn't about how much you can drink, but how much you can carry. Staying sober isn't weakness — it's the foundation of real freedom and clarity. Join the Movement If you're ready to level up your mind, health, and leadership:

CBS News Pentagon Reporter Eleanor Watson in Washington DC joins Megan Lynch to talk about President Trump labeling drug cartels as unlawful combatants.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we get real: the dumb are thriving. Coworkers who can't do their jobs get praise like they just cured cancer. Smart, competent people? Labeled troublemakers. Society's mantra seems to be: keep the idiots happy and don't make anyone think too hard.In this episode, we rage, we laugh, and we ask the obvious question everyone's thinking: why do we praise idiots? From people protecting their jobs by surrounding themselves with dumb yes-men, to friendships that are easier with morons because questions are overrated, we break down the absurdity of living in a world that rewards stupidity.Of course, we can't ignore the king of the stupids himself: Trump. We dissect his UN speech where he spent most of it mocking the entire assembly as idiots… and then, in the same breath, said he loved them. Genius strategy? Or just another example of society cheering for nonsense?We also explore the rise of stupid people in the workplace, how incompetence and mediocrity are celebrated, and why lazy coworkers and dumb yes-men often get more recognition than smart, analytical people. From everyday workplace idiocy to public figures making headlines for nonsense, this episode highlights how and why dumb behavior is rewarded, why smart people are sidelined, and how stupidity has become the new status quo.If you've ever wondered why mediocrity is praised, why dumb behavior spreads faster than competence, or why society seems obsessed with rewarding idiots, this episode is your sarcastic, annoyed, and brutally honest guide to understanding the absurdity of our world.Like, Share, Subscribe, leave a Comment and visit Tots420.com#whydowecelebrateidiots #whydowepraiseidiots #stupidpeople #societyrewardsstupidity #riseofstupidityinsociety #riseofstupidpeople #idiotsinsociety #comedypodcast #humor #comedy #Lifestyle #podcast #Funnypodcast #Humor #Laughoutloud #Edgyhumor #Satire #Lifeandlaughs #Popculturecomedy #Jokes #Lifeadvicefunny #Relatablecomedy

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on the documents seized from the office of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser.

Authorities in York County have provided an update on Wednesday's shootout which resulted in the deaths of three law enforcement officers and injuries to 2 others. The Trump administration has given a “final warning” to Pennsylvania officials: Either share personal data on food-stamp recipients or immediately lose millions of dollars for food assistance. And that deadline is today. Three Pennsylvania cities are among the worst places in the nation for people living with asthma. Philadelphia, Allentown and Harrisburg all made it into The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s 2025 U.S. Asthma Capitals report. Pennsylvania officials have confirmed the state is part of a new regional public health collaboration designed to replace federal oversight of certain health services. Lancaster city police Chief Richard Mendez is announcing he'll retire in December after a 25-year career with the department. Emergency training exercises are being held at Harrisburg International Airport this weekend. The share of salmonella patients in Pennsylvania who reported consuming raw milk is already higher this year, than in any of the previous five years. Lancaster city officials are keeping close tabs on the status of a federal program known as HOME. That's because the city has used $7 million in HOME funding to create more than 200 affordable housing units since 2018. And Cumberland County is marking a major milestone when it comes to farmland preservation. Did you know that if every sustaining circle member gives as little as $12 more a month, we'd close the gap caused by federal funding cuts?

Shark Meat Fed To Students in Brazil's public institutions has sparked outrage after Mongabay uncovered thousands of tons of mislabeled shark meat, including endangered species like angelsharks, being served in schools, hospitals, prisons, and elderly care centers. Labeled as “cação” or “angel fish,” these meals were consumed by thousands of unsuspecting Brazilians, raising urgent concerns for both public health and ocean conservation. Shark meat in Brazil carries dangerous risks due to high levels of mercury and arsenic that accumulate in these apex predators. Scientists warn that children and vulnerable populations are especially at risk, while conservationists highlight the devastating impact on shark populations that have already declined 71% in open oceans. Lawmakers are calling for hearings, industries are pushing back, and the global conservation community is debating how to respond. This episode investigates how a school lunch scandal reveals the larger crisis of food security, seafood mislabeling, and biodiversity loss.

In 2015, Denise Huskins was kidnapped from her boyfriend's California home in the middle of the night. Within days, she was safely released—but instead of being treated as a survivor, she was accused of staging the crime herself. Labeled the “real-life Gone Girl” by police and the media, Denise endured public doubt and ridicule until the truth finally came out: she had been the victim of a terrifying abduction carried out by a dangerous criminal.In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin unravel the shocking twists of the case, from the initial disbelief and media frenzy to the eventual conviction of her kidnapper. We'll explore how one woman's fight for justice was overshadowed by Hollywood comparisons, and what this case reveals about victim-blaming in high-profile investigations.

"My name is Idiot." She's only four years old, but when police in Hot Springs, Arkansas responded to a report of child abuse, that's what she told them. The marks of abuse were all over her body. There were bruises everywhere, she had a black eye, she had scars on her back. Those will heal. But what about the names she's been called? So many times that she actually thinks "Idiot" is her name. But wait a minute! What about the names we've called people? Even people - maybe especially people - that we love. How many people we know carry invisible, but indelible scars from our own devastating words? It's not that we necessarily mean to hurt. We're just angry, or frustrated, or feeling unheard or ignored. As our emotions escalate, so do our words. And words are like bullets. Once they're fired, you just can't get them back. As the Bible says, "Reckless words pierce like a sword" (Proverbs 12:18). We all know that's true. We still feel the sting of the names we were called a long time ago, right? Even though the one who fired them at us has probably totally forgotten it. It's our children who are most damaged by our hurtful words, because children tend to become what we call them. Label them as "lazy" or "stupid" or "worthless" enough times, and it will stick. But then, so will "princess" or "smart" or "helper" or "fun." Of course, kids also store what they hear their parents call each other in those heated moments; giving them tacit permission to speak disrespectfully in their relationships, too. But family's not the only place our words leave wounds. Proverbs 18:21 says, "The tongue has the power of life and death" at school, at work, online, in all our close relationships. If people bled physically every time we wounded them verbally, I wonder what a trail we'd leave. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Labeled for Life." God puts it this way, "The tongue is a world of evil…it sets the whole course of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell" (James 3:6). Personally, that's one reason I know I need a personal Savior. I've found only one person strong enough to control that fire in me, and that is my death-crushing Jesus. He's that strong. King David was wise enough to know that we can't conquer this verbal monster without some supernatural intervention. Thus, his prayer should probably be somewhere that I can see it every day - maybe where you see it too. It's our word for today from the Word of God in Psalm 141:3 - "Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips." I'm thankful for the lasting imprint of something my wife told me years ago - and many times since: "Ron, don't ever forget the power of your words." I suspect a lot of us need that same reminder, huh? Because long after we've forgotten our "reckless words," the person we wounded may be carrying a long and lasting scar from them. What about all those names and putdowns that we ourselves carry from the scarring words of others? Well, I'm grateful that God has called me names, too: "God's workmanship" (Ephesians 2:10). Created "in His own image" (Genesis 1:27). God says, "My treasured possession" (Exodus 19:5). He calls us "The temple of the living God" (2 Corinthians 6:16). And then, "My sons and daughters" (2 Corinthians 6:18). And He says we are purchased by the blood of His Son (Revelation 5:9). If you've been beat down and you have thought you were worthless, you've got to take a trip up a hill called Golgotha (Skull Hill) and stand there at the foot of a cross where Jesus said you're worth dying for; for your sins so you could be with Him forever. Maybe you've never had that wonderful infusion of value and love that comes when you open your life to Jesus and you'd like to do that. Well take care of that right now. Tell Him, "Jesus, I am yours. Nobody loves me like you do." And if you'd like to know more about beginning this relationship, that's why our website's there. It's ANewStory.com. You know those people who've called you all those other things? They really didn't know who you are, who God says you are. So no one's name is "idiot." Not when God says, "You're my masterpiece."

Nicole joins us from New Jersey to share her powerful, decade-long journey with endometriosis—a story marked by misdiagnoses, medical gaslighting, and unrelenting pain. Labeled with everything from IBS to anxiety, Nicole saw countless doctors across multiple specialties, yet none could give her the answers she desperately needed. It wasn't until she underwent excision surgery with a true endometriosis specialist that the truth was revealed: 73 lesions removed from her bladder, uterus, colon, rectum, appendix, and two endometriomas—one larger than her uterus.Nicole founded Endo Excision For All: a nonprofit fighting for access to gold-standard care, especially for those failed by the system. In a world where excision surgery still isn't properly covered by insurance, Nicole is leading the charge for change so others won't have to suffer the way she did.Follow Nicole's work and advocacy:

Are your coworkers misreading you? If you've ever been labeled “difficult,” “standoffish,” or “arrogant” when you're actually anxious or nervous, you're not alone.

#185: That moment when the room falls silent after you've spoken up—not because you're wrong, but because you dared to say something. You've just stepped into that familiar territory where advocating for yourself or others gets you labeled as "difficult," while others receive praise for the exact same behavior.This frustrating double standard isn't just in your head. Harvard Business Review research confirms that 66% of women receive negative personality descriptors in performance reviews when they speak up, with words like "abrasive" and "difficult" appearing far more frequently than in men's reviews. Columbia Business School found that when women are assertive, their likability drops significantly, while men's remains unchanged. We're constantly navigating an impossible tightrope: be warm but not strong enough for leadership, or be direct but "unlikable."The calculation is exhausting—how do I speak my truth without being seen as "too much"? But remaining silent is equally damaging, reinforcing inequities and teaching others you'll tolerate imbalance. Every social advancement throughout history came because someone was willing to be labeled difficult. From women's suffrage to workplace protections, progress happens when people speak uncomfortable truths.You can advocate effectively by leading with facts, using "we" framing instead of "I need," practicing neutral delivery, and knowing which battles deserve your energy. Set boundaries early rather than letting resentment build, and surround yourself with people who value directness rather than trying to convince others your personality is worthwhile.If speaking up makes you "difficult," then perhaps more of us should embrace being difficult together. Workplaces, relationships, and societies don't improve because everyone stayed comfortable—they change because someone had the courage to say "this isn't working" and advocate for better. The next time someone calls you difficult, consider that they might actually be telling you that you're doing something right.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.

Ask David-- The Fear of Happiness! Although we had five questions for today's Ask David episode, we spend the entire podcast on the first question from a man with an intense fear of happiness. He wrote: How can I use exposure to overcome my fear of happiness? Hi David, How would you do exposure for the fear of happiness? Whenever I feel happy I immediately feel afraid because I had a very strict religious upbringing where many harmless forms of fun and enjoyment were completely forbidden. Even though I'm no longer a religious believer, the fear remains. Feeling good then makes me afraid, anxious and insomniac. This often goes on for days after something good happens and it almost seems as if I AM being punished after all! How can I recover when feeling good makes me feel so bad? Love your work and all that you do. Best regards, Tomas David's reply As I have said on numerous occasions, I do NOT recommend “methods” (like exposure) for “problems” (like your “fear of happiness.”) I think your problem is very treatable, but I work with patients systematically, and that doesn't mean starting out with a “method,” like exposure or any other method. I use a step by step approach, using T = Testing, E – Empathy, A = Assessment of Resistance, and M = Methods in a sequence. In addition, when I work with anxiety, I always incorporate these four approaches with every patient I work with: The Motivational Model: I bring Outcome and Process Resistance to conscious awareness and melt them away, if possible, using a variety of TEAM CBT approaches. The Cognitive Model: This involves a well-done Daily Mood Log to identify and challenge the distorted negative thoughts at one moment in time. The Exposure Model: Facing your fears, or testing them with an experiment. This is frightening, but required of every anxious patient. The Hidden Emotion Model: This is based on the idea that only “nice” people struggle with anxiety, with only a few exceptions, and that an unacknowledged problem is often hiding right behind the anxiety. The cure requires the Detective Step: identifying what the hidden emotion or feeling is. The Action Step: Expressing the suppressed feeling and or dealing with the problem you are avoiding. Your fear of happiness is an interesting problem for sure. One of my favorite movies, “Babette's Feast,” involves this theme. If you want some help, you could send me a partially completed Daily Mood Log. You will discover that you are the only one who is doing the punishing! It is that belittling, intimidating voice in your own head that is causing 100% of your suffering. I look forward to helping you challenge those voices! In the meantime, I'll add this to the latest Ask David podcast questions, in the hopes you might send the DML, and then Rhonda and I can comment in greater depth on the live program. Best, david Tomas kindly sent a Daily Mood Log, which you can see if you CLICK HERE As you can see, the Upsetting Event is simply “studying mathematics,” something he loves. However, he has the belief that if he allows himself to enjoy this or any activity, something terrible will happen to him. He traces this to a strict religious upbringing, and perhaps also to bullying he endured as a kid. You can see that this is intensely upsetting to him. If you look you will see that in 8 of the 9 categories of emotions on his Daily Mood Log (DML), he scores in the range of 80 to 100, which is intense and severe to extreme. The only emotion category that is not extremely elevated is the anger cluster, which he rated at only 40. You can see as well that his negative thoughts all involve the theme of punishment and destruction if he allows himself to feel happiness and enjoyment of life, or if he advances himself in life. In some of the emails he sent me, he traces this back to being bullied when young. . . possibly by kids who were jealous of his high IQ. As mentioned above, I don't throw methods (like exposure) at people based on a problem or diagnosis (in his case a phobia, the fear of happiness.) I also mentioned that I go through the T E A M model in a sequence, starting with Testing and Empathy, followed by the Assessment of Resistance and culminating in Methods. In addition, I always treat anxious patients with four powerful models, including the Motivational Model, the Cognitive Model, the Exposure Model, and the Hidden Emotion Model. I described these models above. The Motivational Model The Outcome Resistance has to do with the fact that Tomas may resist treatment because of his fear of the consequences of successfully achieving happiness. We will deal with that with Positive Reframing, including the Miracle Cure Question, the Magic Button, Positive Reframing, and the Magic Dial. In addition, we'll have to deal with Process Resistance. At some point, we will have to use exposure techniques, and we will want to find out if he's WILLING to do exposure even though it may be extremely anxiety provoking at first. We can dangle the carrot, letting him know that we anticipate a positive outcome, but also understand that facing his worst fears may be terrifying at first, and very uncomfortable. I will not try to persuade him to use any of the many versions of Exposure. He will have to persuade me that he's willing to do it. I suspect he will be, because he is asking for exposure, but if he says he wants to be treated without exposure, I will have to let him know I am not a good choice as a therapist for him! That's because I don't know how to defeat any form of anxiety without exposure. Of course, I cannot treat Tomas, or anyone, through an Ask David, but can only make teaching points. But I am teaching self-help techniques that have been helpful to many people. In an email, I asked him the Magic Button question, and he said he didn't think he'd push it. This indicates some understandable resistance that has to be dealt with. Positive Reframing is one way to deal with Outcome Resistance. The goal is not only deeper empathy but also helping patients “see” that the negative thoughts and feelings they are struggling so desperately to overcome are actually positive in many ways. Once they “see” this, it is kind of a pleasant shock to the system, and their resistance to change typically disappears. Then we ask them to set goals for each negative feelings—a lower level of each feeling that would allow them to feel better and not lose all the wonderful positives we have discovered. That's why it's better NOT to push the Magic Button. To help Tomas or anyone see and list the positives in their negative thoughts and feelings, we ask two key questions about each one: What are some possible advantages, or benefits, of this negative thought or feeling? How might it help me? What does this negative thought or feeling show about me and my core values as a human being that's positive and awesome? Typically, this leads to list of 10 to 20 positives that have three characteristics. To give you an example, his intense loneliness is an expression of his love for people and the great value he sees in meaningful relationships. And his anxiety serves to protect him from danger, and is therefore an expression of self-love. And his feelings of inferiority—in spite of his tremendous intelligence—show humility, which is not only a spiritual quality, but also can make a person of great intelligence more accessible, more vulnerable, and more attractive. Inferiority may also be an expression of his honesty and willingness to acknowledge his shortcomings, as well as his accountability. We could easily go on and on, and it might be a great exercise for you to try find the positives in several other of his negative thoughts and feelings by asking those two questions. Once my patient and I have listed 10 or more positives, I ask if these positives are True and valid? Powerful? Important? Nearly always, I get a resounding YES to each question. Then I use the Magic Dial to see what they might want to dial each negative feeling down to in the % Goal column of the Daily Mood Log. Is this Positive Reframing process straightforward? Easy? Not really. I make it look easy, because when I teach I want people to understand, but “seeing” these positives is, in reality, incredibly challenging for most people. In fact, You can see the Positive Reframing that Tomas completed on his own if you CLICK HERE As you can see Tomas almost completely missed the boat when he tried to identify the positives in his negative thoughts and feelings. I mention this because it is a CRUCIAL step in TEAM CBT, and people often have a tremendously hard time “seeing” the positives in their negative thoughts and feelings. A big part of the reason is that society teaches us the opposite. In fact, negative feelings are Labeled as a bewildering array of more than 200 so-called “mental disorders” by the American Psychiatric Association in their “bible,” the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.) But here's something even MORE surprising. Rhonda—a highly respected and admired TEAM CBT therapist and teacher—also struggles to find the positives during today's podcast. Once someone has pointed them out, you can suddenly “see” them. But on your own, you may have a lot of trouble at first with Positive Reframing, which is anything but simple, but extraordinarily powerful once you “get it.” I recently told my weekly Tuesday psychotherapy training group at Stanford that TEAM CBT is extraordinarily difficult to learn and master—nearly always requiring years of study and practice—and perhaps the most challenging form of psychotherapy ever developed. She was angry and told me I'd have to do large controlled outcome studies to validate that claim! Yikes! I may be wrong, and there could be other more difficult forms of therapy, but I still believe what I'm saying because I see it every single day. Many of the most powerful and helpful concepts, such as the four “Great Deaths” of the “self” for the therapist and for the patient in TEAM, and the Acceptance Paradox, and more are hard to learn! But worth it, IF you take the time to learn this method. And if you wish to use TEAM CBT, on yourself (for self-help) or with your patients (if you're a therapist) you will have much greater success after you master this powerful but elusive skill. The Cognitive Model After Rhonda and I worked with Positive Reframing, we went on to the technique that usually starts the M = Methods section, called “Explain the Distortions.” This powerful method includes answering three questions about one or several of the distortions you can find in one of the thoughts you want to work on first. First, select the thought and identify all the distortions in it, listing them by abbreviations in the Distortion column on your Daily Mood Log. For example, if it is an example of All-or-Nothing you can put AON in that column. And you can put OG for Overgeneralization, and so forth. Often, you will find five or even ten distortions in a single negative thought. Let's say you work on, “If I'm happy, I'll be destroyed.” This alarming thought includes AON; LAB, FT, DP, and ER. And it's also a Hidden SS. Choose the distortion you want to work on first. Let's say it's Fortune Telling (FT). Why is this distortion, FT, considered a thinking error in general? Why does the FT distortion your specific thought pretty much make the thought unreasonable? In other words, Why does the FT in your thought NOT map onto reality? And finally, why is the FT is this thought unfair? As an exercise, turn off the podcast for a moment and write down your answers to those three questions. Once you're done, you can check the answers at the end of the show notes. It's a great skill to practice and learn, because it will usually make it really easy for you to generate positive thoughts that satisfy the necessary and sufficient conditions for emotional change. Do you know what they are? Write them down before you look at the answers at the end of the show notes. Just take a guess, but WRITE SOMETHING DOWN before you look! But DON'T look until you've written down your own answers! Hey, did you peek, or did you write down the answers first? I get it! And I forgive you! However, you missed out on a great opportunity for learning if you skipped the written exercise. Or, to put it positively, I try to make the exercises fun and interesting. And if you do them, you'll learn some cool and helpful things rapidly. It's like riding a bicycle. You've got to get on and ride to learn how to do it! But here's what's really interesting. You'll notice that Rhonda, once again, really struggles with this exercise during the podcast. Although I think of Explain the Distortions as a really easy TEAM CBT method, experience with real people has over and over again provided abundant evidence that it's NOT easy for many, or possibly most, people at first. So, what's the point? Here's the point. If you're a therapist, this method is powerful, and will richly reward you for the time and effort you spend in learning how to do it! But you cannot take it for granted if you want to use it in an actual therapy session. And if you are simply looking for self-help, the exact same thing is true: the method is incredibly helpful and well worth some time and effort to “get it!” In addition, to challenging the obviously distorted thoughts on his Daily Mood Log, what other methods might be helpful to Tomas? The Exposure Model Well, there are a great many, including the Exposure techniques he was asking for. For example, he could intentionally make himself happy, and then fantasize some horrible punishment using Cognitive Flooding. The idea would be to make himself as anxious as possible for as long as possible, until he finally gets bored with the fantasy, which will definitely happen eventually, and the anxiety disappears. Exposure is terrifying at first, and it is supposed to be. That's whey and how it works! The Hidden Emotion Model There are many helpful variations on the Exposure front, and the Hidden Emotion Model might also be key. Is there some problem or issue in his life that Tomas is not dealing with? The Class on this technique in the (now entirely free for the summer of 2025 app) Feeling Great app has many details and exercises and examples to show how this mind-blowing technique works. That's it for today's podcast. I want to thank you, Tomas, for providing us with a fascinating problem, and all of you who send in your questions. We are SO GRATEFUL that you are bouncing back, Rhonda, after your ordeal with radiation therapy for your lymphoma, and send you all our love and best wishes for joyful and complete healing and liberation from your nightmare! Warmly, Rhonda and David Answers Here is my answer to first exercise on the necessary and sufficient conditions for emotional change from a positive thought. . The necessary condition for emotional change: The Positive Thought must be 100% correct. The sufficient condition for emotional change: The Positive Thought must reduce your belief in the disturbing negative thought. Sometimes you'll want to reduce it all the way to zero. Sometimes, that's not necessary, especially with Should Statements. Here are my answers to the three questions about Explain the Distortions above. In general, FT is a thinking error when you are making arbitrary alarming predictions without strong evidence that supports those predictions. In particular, there is no evidence that supports the claim that people who feel happy rapidly become the victims of some horrific disaster or punishment. This thought is very unrealistic because the ONLY punishment that Tomas has experienced is the result of his own negative thoughts! This thought is unfair because it puts Tomas in handcuffs so he will be unable to enjoy his life.

When the public school system tried to label her six-year-old son as “mentally handicapped” after just 10 days in first grade, Barbie Rivera knew something had to change. What began as a desperate attempt to protect her child from a broken system grew into a thriving micro-school and a mission to transform education for others.In this episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, Barbie shares her inspiring journey—from first-time homeschool mom to author and advocate for educational reform rooted in early 20th-century teaching methods.

Today, I interview Eric Atwood, who spent decades trapped in self-doubt, believing he had nothing of value to say. Labeled as the “shy, scared, stupid kid” after a traumatic moment in school, he carried that identity into adulthood, silencing his voice, hiding from connection, and believing he wasn't enough.He grew up across seven countries, constantly moving because of his father's humanitarian work. From the outside, his childhood might have looked rich in experience. But inside, Eric struggled with the pressure to be the “good boy,” the family pacifier. His mother's conditional love and his father's emotional distance left him feeling unseen and unloved. He learned to stay quiet, to please, and to blend in, even when it cost him his sense of self.Then one day, in his early forties, in the middle of a personal development workshop, he stood up in front of 150 people and spoke from his heart for the first time. That moment cracked something open. He felt alive, seen, and heard. Now, Eric helps others do the same. He guides people to connect deeply, speak authentically, and lead with presence. What once silenced him has become the very gift he offers others.__________________Eric Atwood is a speech and presentation coach, communication skills trainer, copywriter, author, certified Speaking Circles® facilitator, and founder/CEO of The Speaker's Studio.He has a passion for language and communication, both spoken and written, and is committed to helping people express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically in all their interactions.Currently residing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Eric has lived in seven countries and traveled to more than 50, bringing a deep understanding and appreciation of people and cultures to his work and his life.He is also the author of New Thinking, New Being: Moving From “The Daily Grind” to a More Meaningful, Deeply Fulfilling Life.__________________Find Eric here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericallenatwood/https://www.facebook.com/eric.atwood.71"3 Keys to Releasing Fear & Gaining Confidence in Public Speaking” Free Download - https://speakingcircles.com/ Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

In a tragic event, a peaceful pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, was violently disrupted when Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, attacked participants with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, injuring 12 individuals, including a Holocaust survivor. Soliman, who had planned the attack for over a year, expressed anti-Zionist motives and is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder and federal hate crimes. The FBI is treating the incident as a targeted act of terrorism fueled by antisemitism. In lighter news, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has publicly distanced himself from the "celebrity" label, stating that he prefers to be seen as a regular person rather than being associated with the negative connotations he believes come with celebrity status. Additionally, the 2025 BET Awards will honor four entertainment legends—Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and Kirk Franklin—with the prestigious Ultimate Icon Award, recognizing their decades of contributions to music, entertainment, and community impact.

The pastors' wives virtually sit down with mental health advocate, speaker, and author of Jesus and Therapy, Tabitha Yates. Tabitha bravely shares her story of growing up in an abusive home, navigating spiritual abuse, and battling deep depression from a young age. Labeled “rebellious” by toxic church leaders when she was actually struggling, Tabitha opens up about how the church often got it wrong—and how therapy helped her begin to heal.She shares about the hard work of deconstructing her faith, separating Jesus from harmful church experiences, and finding freedom in forgiveness. She also points out the red flags of spiritual abuse, the importance of healthy church leadership, and her heart for helping others find support, especially when faith and mental health collide.This one's for church leaders and anyone who's been hurt by the church, felt misunderstood, or just needs to know they're not alone.Follow along with Tabitha:Facebook: The Redeemed Mama-Tabitha YatesInstagram: @tabitha_yates_authorTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?
