Her new documentary, Age of Audio, tells the story of the podcast from birth to boom to today. NYU Professor Chenjerai Kumanyika specializes in using narrative non-fiction audio journalism to critique the ideology of American historical myths about issues such as race, the Civil War, and policing. His podcast Empire City was chosen by the New York Times as one of the best podcasts of 2024. He was the co-creator, co-executive producer and co-host of Uncivil, a podcast on the Civil War, and he is the collaborator for Scene on Radio's Season 2 “Seeing White,” and Season 4 on the history of American democracy.

In this episode, Crystal talks about the weird, tender, and often painful reality of friendships after 30. How some friendships fade without closure, how others end loudly, and how making new friends as an adult can feel awkward, vulnerable, and honestly exhausting. We get real about grief, growth, and learning to let people go without losing yourself, while still staying open to the friendships meant for this season of life.

What if the story you tell yourself about being “broken” is the safest way to stay exactly where you are?In this live episode of The Collective, we're unpacking safe narratives — the comfortable stories we use to avoid accountability, justify stagnation, and stay loyal to an identity that no longer serves us. From “I'm too messed up from service” to “I'll start tomorrow,” we're calling out how these narratives quietly run the show for veterans, first responders, and high performers.We'll explore:How “I'm broken” becomes an identity instead of a starting point for growthWhy pain and trauma feel safer than uncertainty and changeThe difference between real healing and hiding behind your storyPractical ways to challenge your own narrative and lead yourself forwardThis episode sets the stage for tomorrow's conversation with:Tyler Grey – former Delta Force operator, actor, author, and advocate helping veterans find purpose beyond the uniformSebastien Lavoie – former Canadian Infantry and RCMP Emergency Response Team Sergeant Major, now a security professional and outspoken voice on leadership and human performanceQuestions to sit with as you watch:Where am I defending my damage instead of building from it?What story about my past do I keep repeating to avoid taking the next hard step?If I dropped the “broken” label, what responsibility would that put back on me today?If you're a veteran, first responder, or driven civilian who's done with excuses and ready for unfiltered truth, this one's for you.

We all have stories we tell ourselves, stories about who we are, what we deserve, and what's possible for us. Some of these stories empower us, but others keep us small, holding us back from the life we're capable of living. On our episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're diving deep into the lies we tell ourselves; the fears, beliefs, and inherited narratives that shape how we see ourselves. Many of these beliefs don't come from truth but from conditioning, past experiences, trauma, and the internal voice that whispers, "You're not enough." The greatest prison we will ever live in is the story we never challenge. This episode explores: – How self-deception forms – Why the brain prefers familiar limits over uncomfortable truth – The emotional cost of living in a small identity – How to rewrite the story into one that reflects who we're becoming We don't just face obstacles in life, often, we carry them within us. The lies we tell ourselves can convince us we're not ready, not worthy, not capable, or not meant for more. But what if those thoughts aren't truth? Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we break down how limiting beliefs are formed, why the mind clings to old narratives, and how to rewrite your story with power, honesty, and possibility  

Are you tired of holding yourself back with excuses that sound like logic? We all tell ourselves stories — but some of those stories are straight-up lies that keep us stuck!Do any of these sound painfully familiar?“I don't have time.”“I'm not ready yet.”“It's just who I am.”Those lies feel comfortable… but they're comfort with a cost. In this episode of Raw & Unscripted, host Christopher Rausch, and the world-famous #NoExcusesCoach breaks down the top lies we tell ourselves, why we believe them, and how to shift into unstoppable truth.If you're ready to stop settling, start owning, and live free of your own BS — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, hosts ⁠Erik Garcia⁠, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™, and ⁠Xavier Angel⁠, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC®, tackle a hard truth — sometimes, the biggest threat to our financial health isn't the economy, it's the lies we tell ourselves. From “I'll save when I make more” to “I deserve this purchase” and “I can time the market,” Erik and Xavier break down how these self-deceptions quietly shape our spending, saving, and investing habits. They'll also reveal how these internal narratives may be fueling the stress behind alarming stats showing that 58% of Americans feel their finances are in crisis and 47% say money negatively affects their mental health. Digging deeper, they unpack the psychology and emotion behind each lie and how believing them keeps us stuck — overspending, under-saving, and second-guessing our investments.

Can we truly deceive ourselves?  In this episode, Alvean and Doug talk about the ways we obfuscate, pretend and misdirect our intuition and intellect when matters of the heart are concerned. For a full transcript, click here:LL15

In a lot of my work, I talk about the Victim/Aggressor/Savior/Martyr cycle.It seems that this dynamic is coming up to be seen and defined again.Mostly, I have spoken about this cycle in how it is experienced by individuals in their normal life experience, and what they can do to step out of it. But recently, I have been making music, and much of the music I am making is inspired by lineages that many consider to be oppressed, subjected to genocide, and exploited.When writing the lyrics for these particular songs, I found that I had to get past a massive wall of "victim/aggressor." For example, lyrics in rap music will often illustrate the wall of “victim/aggressor” in many different iterations. As I looked at that wall, I saw how the music industry has used it to maintain people in a state of disempowerment. A shrunken awareness, due to a belief that they are powerless over their circumstances because they are an oppressed people, results in their free will choices being made from a less than ideal view point.This made me curious. I mean, why keep a certain faction of the world population in a state of disempowerment? Why spend billions of dollars to target these people and make them think they are powerless and the children of slaves, exile, oppression, and exploitation?That is the bit where I want to shine some light.Our awareness and focus are much more powerful these days, and I am thinking that if we can spot the wall that is created for powerful people - our people on Earth - we can start disassembling this illusion of disempowerment.Why is that important? This is a question that seems redundant. However, when we look behind it, we can see that not everyone on Earth is keen on taking their power back and becoming a sovereign being. If we look too closely, the illusion of being oppressed may crash, and peoples around the world might no longer be kept under chains of their own programs and ideologies. Yes, some actually prefer this experience, and that is a part of this that presents challenges in moving forward to a high-frequency high-caliber population on Earth.The reason I see this tremendous effort to keep these sections of society oppressed is because these are the people who - if awake, aware, and empowered - are the most powerful of all. And I don't mean power over others, but powerful in their connection with each other and their ability to weave a new paradigm into existence, one we haven't seen on these continents for millennia. Convince the most powerful that they are marginalized victims and powerless in the face of their generational traumas, and they cocreate exactly what they are convinced of.I have done all I can to reach people across the world to deliver the message of empowerment, but my words, articles, and novels are simply not enough. We find that most of the time, even among the most awake of light-beings, my words are twisted out of their original meaning and made into something completely different - or simply forgotten, or the main message just not seen.Because of this, my words are changing. My message is taking on other expressions, such as novels, music, and art. And my articles are less "fluffy" - not in the sense of being aggressive or harsh, but simply going into depths I had not expressed in the past.I am not sure if you consider yourself part of the oppressed peoples of the world, so let me explain. No matter the color of your skin, if you believe yourself to have been victimized - or feel victimized right now - then you are one of them. If you feel that the color of your skin or the sex of your body makes you the bad character of this movie, then you are one of them. You see, for the illusion to work, the narrative needs victims, aggressors, saviors, and martyrs - all of them.Someone, or a people, cannot become the aggressor or the victim in isolation.With that in mind, let's see how to step out of this cycle. As individuals, it is easy because I have given you the tools to do so for over a decade and a half now. But as peoples of the world, it is slightly different. It requires a bit of mental gymnastics and stepping outside of the light/dark matrix.For that purpose, I created a tool I call 0bservation (yes, with a zero at the start). This is the call to action for this year:The act of 0bservation is when we simply look at a topic, object, or person - in this case, the mantle of victim/aggressor on a people - but do not have any "interaction" with it. We 0bserve and experience the 0bservation of the topic, object, or person but don't judge it. Thoughts about it are thanked and released; we step out of the way and simply allow the Universe to look at the item through our eyes.Whenever thoughts, emotions, judgments, wants, or feelings come up about this topic, thank them and let them pass through you, saying, “Thank you for expressing.”If one of the thoughts, emotions, judgments, wants, or feelings gets “stuck” in you and you cannot release it easily, use the Fear Processing Exercise to release it, then continue to 0bserve the item.When we observe something and really want a certain outcome, what we move into (and it's not a negative thing - it is simply a different tool) is Conscious Co-creation. In other words, we want to create a certain outcome or reality. That is not what this call to action is about. We do not want to interfere with the 0bservation exercise.Sometimes, when we 0bserve, we get firewalls and a sense of "no." We can process those feelings and firewalls with the Firewalls Exercise.OK, so as you can see, there are THREE exercises you can use in this call to action.

Sometimes the most honest truth doesn't come from within—it comes from someone who loves you enough to challenge you. Jethro didn't just visit Moses; he confronted two lies we still tell ourselves today: “I'm fine” and “This only affects me.” His wisdom reminds us that Godly perspective can save us from burnout—and lead us back to peace.

Have you ever convinced yourself someone was mad at you, only to find out they weren't even thinking about you? Yeah, me too. Our brains love to fill in the blanks... but sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves are complete lies. And those lies can wreck our peace, our relationships, and our progress.

Believing the Lies We Tell Ourselves (James 1:16-27) James 1 Era June 8, 2025 Essential Church SUMMARY The message revolves around themes of self-deception and the importance of application over mere knowledge. It uses the TV series "Breaking Bad" as a metaphor to explore these themes. The narrative highlights the protagonist's journey, where he justifies his morally questionable actions by claiming they are for his family, only to reveal later that he did it for himself. This serves as a cautionary tale about self-deception and rationalization. The message also delves into spiritual maturity, emphasizing that true growth comes from applying knowledge in one's life, not just acquiring it. It draws parallels between the protagonist's story and the teachings in the Book of James from the Bible, which stresses the importance of being doers of the word, not just hearers. The speaker encourages listeners to act on their convictions and not be content with merely understanding their shortcomings. Additionally, the message touches on the concept of God's unchanging nature, contrasting it with human tendencies to deceive themselves about their spiritual state. It calls for living in the light of truth and taking action rather than blaming circumstances or "bad lighting" for one's failures. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Self-Deception and Rationalization**: - How does the concept of self-deception manifest in our daily lives, and what are some common rationalizations we use to justify our actions? - In what ways can we identify and overcome self-deception in our personal and professional lives? 2. **Application of Knowledge**: - Why is it important to apply knowledge rather than just acquire it? Can you think of examples where application led to significant personal growth? - How can we ensure that we are not just hearers of knowledge but doers as well? 3. **Spiritual Maturity**: - What does spiritual maturity mean to you, and how can it be achieved? - Discuss the role of motives in spiritual practices. How can we ensure our motives are pure? 4. **Freedom and Self-Mastery**: - How does self-mastery contribute to personal freedom, and what steps can we take to achieve it? - Discuss the balance between following guidelines and experiencing freedom. How do these concepts coexist? 5. **True Religion and Motives**: - What is the significance of helping those who cannot help you back, and how does this reflect true religious practice? - How can we examine and purify our motives in our actions and relationship

Success isn't out of reach—you're just choking on your own excuses. In this episode, I call out the 6 lies you're telling yourself and drop the mindset tools to finally shut them down.Please join the #NoExcusesCoach Christopher Rausch on the Raw & Unscripted Podcast as he shares the lies we tell ourselves about success. And, more importantly, the strategies to implement for the various lies we are guilty of saying:“I'm not good enough.”“I don't have time.”“I need to be perfect.”“I have to have it all figured out.”“Success is only for the lucky ones.”“I'm too old / too young / too late.”

Let's be real—when it comes to diet and exercise, we're all guilty of telling ourselves a few little lies. You know the ones: “I'll start on Monday,” or “I don't have time,” or even “I deserve this cheat meal because I worked out today.” These stories might sound harmless, but over time, they create major roadblocks to progress. In today's episode, I'm breaking down the five most common lies we tell ourselves when it comes to health, fitness, and nutrition—and more importantly, how to stop falling for them. These mindset traps might be keeping you stuck without you even realizing it. So if you're ready to call yourself out a little (with love) and finally start making real, lasting change—this episode is for you. The post 278. The 5 Biggest Lies We Tell Ourselves About Diet and Exercise appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

In this episode of In Search of More, I sit down with my brother and friend Omar Pinto. We just got back from a men's retreat, and honestly, we're still in it—raw, cracked open, figuring it out in real time. We talk about what happens when men actually have space to move, to feel, to drop the act and remember who they are underneath it all. Omar shares his path—addiction, ayahuasca, emotional sobriety, real growth. Not the Instagram version. The kind that costs you something. At one point, Omar talks about a decision he made after a powerful ayahuasca experience—he started drinking again, convinced he was no longer an addict. Three years later, the truth of that choice has come into focus, and he doesn't shy away from what that reckoning looked like. We get into fatherhood, childhood wounds, old stories we didn't even know we were still carrying. The quiet ways we check out. And what it takes to come back. This one's an invitation—to feel more, hide less, and lead from your gut even when it scares you to the core. If you're on the path, or trying to be, this one's for you.See you on the other side,Eli
