Join us in this episode for a conversation with Jen French and Ian Burkhart, leaders of neurotech development movements and users of implanted neurological devices. Our guests share briefly about their experience with implanted devices, and then the conversation zooms in on exciting recently developments in implantable brain-computer interface (iBCI) and electrical simulation options such as epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS). Having been through the process, Jen and Ian deliberate on the importance and steps in engaging people with the lived-experience of paralysis in the development of meaningful clinical outcome assessments for clinical trials. Safety and aversion to electing for implantation are also discussed. We hope you enjoy this episode with Jen French and Ian Burkhart on these exciting neurological technologies and the role of lived-experience in neurotech now and in the future.

Quick! Is anyone here an author? Yes! And her book is finally here! Our favourite psychologist, Dr Emily Musgrove, has published the most anticipated book of the year, Unstuck: A guide to finding your way forward to the life you want to live. Feeling stuck, and the yearning for something to change, is a human experience. And in Unstuck, Dr Emily doesn’t just acknowledge this feeling, she walks with you through it. We’re talking values, we’re talking an introduction to acceptance commitment therapy, and we’re talking self-compassion (among many, many other things). At its core, this book is a model for how we might approach change. It’s compulsory reading. Unstuck is available now in all good bookstores, or you can order it online here - https://bit.ly/4bhmCp2.

Send Me a Message! I'm drenched, exhausted, and dragging myself through the rain—because I'm about to blow. This is a real-time recording, on my phone, just moments before I walked through the doors of the Mater hospital. Not in crisis, but not far off. I'm tired. Tired of the medication merry-go-round, the constant inner turmoil, the anxiety and depression. Im also tired of my inner critic telling me I'm not “bad enough” to deserve any help. But, I didn't show up for fun. I didn't walk from home to the hospital at 2am in the relentless rain to go home empty handed—I showed up because I'm worn out, and I need answers. Now. —Follow my journey living with mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.

In the episode, “A Lived Experience Dialogue: Facing Our Pasts, Reinventing Our Futures with Tom Woodrow and Mike Panasitti (S6, E7),” I sit with two success stories of people who have suffered with forms of mental illness who have come out on the other side. Part 1:When Tom Woodrow was 17, his life took a sharp turn. During a road trip with friends, Tom experienced his first manic episode, and subsequently ended up in a psychiatric hospital-misdiagnosed with depression and subjected to electroshock therapy. After years of struggling, and after nearly losing his life in India during a volunteer trip, he met two counselors from a mental health charity, who taught him to manage moods, avoid triggers, and stay well with skills that have kept him stable for 20 years. Today he helps others who also live with bipolar disorder, understanding how overwhelming it can be. He offers support programs that help people manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.To learn more about Tom, follow him at: Instagram: @bipolarwithyouPart 2:Mike Panasitti was born in East Los Angeles in 1969 and is a graduate of UC Berkeley and a former patient of California's Department of State Hospitals.  From 2015 to 2018 he was a prisoner at New Folsom, a maximum security prison near Sacramento.  Mike is now an exhibiting artist, as well as a poet and prose writer whose publishing credits include poems in Matter, creative non-fiction in WALL Literary Journal, and over 40 short stories posted on Reedsy Prompts.  He currently lives in the city of Santa Ana and is enrolled as a student of creative writing at Saddleback College.  Mike shares how he become acquainted with the mental health industrial complex and bravely reveals what he's learned from prolonged institutionalization. Envisioning a new path, Mike is committe3d to making his dreams come true as a professional artist and writer. To learn more about Mike, follow him at:Instagram: @mikepanasittiDon't forget to subscribe to the Not As Crazy As You Think YouTube channel @SicilianoJenAnd please visit my website at: www.jengaitasiciliano.comConnect: Instagram: @ jengaitaLinkedIn: @ jensicilianoTwitter: @ jsicilianoBluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/jengaita.bsky.socialSend us a text

Send Me a Message! In the next chapter of My Therapy Reflections, I share a very significant IFS (Internal Family Systems) breakthrough that has reframed how I view some of my darkest moments. When life feels too loud and too bright (which is most of the time), I tend to mentally retreat, like hiding in a tunnel—a cold, dark place that where I sometimes I can sleep for days. But this session revealed something surprising: my internal parts weren't trying to trap me there like I had thought. They were waiting at the top, encouraging me to come back.Even my inner critic—the voice I've long seen as cruel and as my enemy—was there trying to help. Not to tear me down, but to shield me from a world I'm not built for. This unexpected shift helped me see that every part of me, even the ones I've battled with, have been trying to protect me in their own, unique way.I also uncovered a younger part of myself, frozen at age 15, holding trauma I hadn't accessed in years. That story continues in Part B. But in this episode, it's all about beginning to see your inner system not as broken, but as misunderstood. Maybe, like me, you'll start to feel compassion for the parts of yourself you once feared.Support the showTo support the show, CLICK HEREYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters

What if the stories we believe about poverty are holding us back from real change? For generations, narratives of blame, pity, and resignation have shaped how we respond to poverty-often with harmful consequences. But what happens when we center the voices of those who live these realities every day? In this series, we unpack the unproductive narratives that keep communities stuck and discover how new stories -rooted in lived experience- can spark meaningful change for everyone. In our first episode, we hear from John White, a leader with decades of experience in public and community service, who shares how bringing lived experience into policy-making can truly drive change. From personal reflections to practical advice, John describes his journey of understanding community challenges not through the lens of common narratives but through direct engagement and lived experience. He offers a tangible example of how proximity to real stories can shape policies and practices that impact families and communities across an entire state.   Don't miss this powerful conversation about leadership, justice, and the future of community-driven change.

Nurse Josephine Ensign was homeless herself before she became a leading voice in the national conversation on homelessness. She writes about the visceral experience of being homeless, while examining which policies work — and which don't. She has written several books on the subject, including “Way Home: Journeys Through Homelessness.” It's a plea to keep all members of society in focus and in the conversation. Ensign is in Rochester as a guest of SUNY Brockport, and this hour, she joins us on “Connections.” In studio:Josephine Ensign, DrPH, ARNP, professor of nursing at the University of Washington School of Nursing and author of multiple books, including "Way Home: Journeys Through Homelessness"

Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Anxiety Society podcast, hosts Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale and Cali Werner welcome Dr. John Abramowitz, a renowned researcher in the field of anxiety and OCD. The discussion dives deep into the pervasive nature of anxiety in society, the role of evidence-based research in treating anxiety disorders, and the nuances of navigating information in today's digital landscape. The trio shares personal anecdotes, professional insights, and tackles common misconceptions, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and evidence over anecdotal advice.Key Topics DiscussedUnderstanding Anxiety: How anxiety impacts individuals and the societal pressures surrounding it.The Role of Research: Importance of grounding treatments in rigorous, evidence-based practices rather than anecdotal experiences.Critical Thinking in Information Consumption: Strategies for sifting through misinformation, especially in the digital age.Lived Experience vs. Professional Expertise: Exploring the gap between personal experiences and scientifically backed treatments for anxiety and OCD.Key InsightsEvidence-based research is crucial for understanding effective treatments for anxiety and OCD.Social media and popular influencers can skew public perception of anxiety management strategies, leading to reliance on quick fixes rather than substantiated methods.Personal experiences, while valuable, cannot be generalized across all individuals with anxiety disorders. Scientific research provides generalized insights that can inform effective treatment strategies.Critical thinking and asking "why" are essential skills for consumers to better evaluate health information and make informed decisions.Notable Quotes“Everyone's built differently on the inside and experiences different circumstances on the outside.” - John Abramowitz“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” - John AbramowitzTimestamps for Significant Segments00:00 - Welcome and Introduction00:39 - Overview of Anxiety Society's Mission01:10 - Sponsor Message: Adolescent OCD Camp01:53 - Discussing Personal Anxieties of the Hosts08:30 - Introduction of Dr. John Abramowitz10:01 - Importance of Research in Treating Anxiety15:30 - Critical Thinking and Bias in Information Consumption25:45 - The Impact of Social Media Influencers on Health Advice45:07 - Advice on Finding Trusted Healthcare Providers52:32 - Conclusion and Call to ActionRelevant ResourcesOCD Institute of Texas: Houston OCD CenterDr. John Abramowitz's Publications: Google ScholarCall to ActionThank you for listening to this episode of Anxiety Society!

Reflections includedhow being queer and disabled can be conjoined, and then judged, by ableist people.the hazards of queer disable persons internalising the judgements of others.how ableist behaviour is generally considered unacceptable, but yet it persists.visable and invisable disability, and how attitudes toward them can differ.How pride in oneself as a queer person with lived experience in disability actually adds to the inherent value we already have, as people who exist in the world.Lunar shared some of her poetry; The Battle Within, and Gaze in the Mirror.We ruminated a little on the expense of coffee under late stage capitalism (and why some spoons have holes in them).Community Links:TGD Bookclub, 10 May, 1 - 2:30pm, Free Event, Thorne Harbour Health Building 200 Hoddle St, Abbottsford; and online.Frooty Loops Meetup, 6 - 9pm, Every Second Sunday, Free Event, Little Foot Bar, 223 Barkly St, Footscray.Identity Test, A Trans Existential Drama and Caberet, at Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Place, Melbourne CBD. 7pm, 28th April to 3rd May; Tickets $39 standard, $35 concession.Queer Multicultural Carnival, 7th June, 10am - 6pm.

AI is everywhere. It's an undeniably powerful tool, it's evolving fast, and it's not going away. But even with all that momentum, there are still some things it can't do and some things you should absolutely let it handle for you. It also provokes a lot of different reactions.

In this thought-provoking episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice Chism welcomes leadership strategist and storyteller Brad Smith to unpack a simple but powerful truth:"Everything is a theory until you experience it—and can consciously repeat the experiment."Brad dives into how real growth doesn't come from books or theories alone—it comes from lived experience. Whether it's leadership, faith, business, or personal development, Brad explains how applying what you've learned, failing, adjusting, and doing it again with intention is what leads to wisdom and lasting change.This episode is a deep dive into the science of self-awareness, experiential learning, and the confidence that comes from putting theory to the test in your own life.

In Episode 61 of Body Justice we have the privilege of hearing Patrilie Hernandez's lived experience with eating disorder recovery. We discuss themes of being BIPOC in eating disorder recovery spaces, being multiracial, how family dynamics contribute to eating issues and much more. The goal for the episode is to share wisdom and hope to anyone currently struggling. You can learn more about me and my practice at ⁠www.eatingdisorderocdtherapy.com⁠ or head over to my IG @bodyjustice.therapistAbout Patrilie:Patrilie Hernandez (they/she) has over 16 years of experience as an educator, advocate, policy analyst, and community builder. This has deeply impacted their understanding of how the pursuit of health and well-being seamlessly intersects with the built environment, policies, and other social drivers. It wasn't until they were diagnosed with an eating disorder in 2017 that they realized how much of their disordered behaviors and thoughts around food, health, and bodies infiltrated all aspects of their personal life and career. In 2018, Patrilie founded Embody Lib, a community platform and now consulting practice that specializes in transforming organizational culture, policies, practices, and programs that impact the many dimensions of well-being of those who have been historically excluded from decision-making power and resources. Drawing on their lived experience as a higher-weight,  neuroatypical, multiracial, queer femme of the Puerto Rican diaspora, Patrilie challenges the status quo in the nonprofit and public sectors.In their spare time, Patrilie enjoys cooking for others, tending to their garden and house plants, and gazing at the moon. They also love spending time with their spouse and dog at their home in the District of Columbia. Visit their website at: https://www.embodylib.com**As always this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

“What is truth?” Pontius Pilate scoffed at Jesus (Jn 18:38), and that's how we think about matters today in our culture—subjectively: my truth, your truth, etc. To make the argument that there is a knowable Truth (with a capital T) that is written in the world and in our bones, theologians Deborah Savage and Robert Fastiggi examine a selection of autobiographical accounts of ‘lived experience.' They take a number of personal essays written by those who have erred from the path of Catholic social teaching and sexual morality—in the dark forest of the world, to borrow from Dante—and their subsequent disappointments and suffering. They examine these narratives through the anthropology of John Paul II and the authority of the physical and social sciences, including medical doctors. So, there is Good News for all of us: if we find ourselves lost and unhappy in our errant meanderings, the Church can bring us home.

Send Me a Message! I'm back! It's been a little while between episodes, but in this check-in, I bring you along for the ride—literally. I talk about my recent solo road trip to the Gold Coast (via the very chill detour through Nimbin) to watch my beloved Newcastle Knights take on the Titans. The trip was meant to help me slow down and de-stress... but let's be real, it didn't quite go as planned.From battling anxiety on the open road to grappling with post-trip blues (and watching the Knights cop a flogging), this episode unpacks how even our best intentions to rest can get derailed by a dysregulated nervous system. I also touch on CBD oil, the struggle of feeling anxious before and after the trip, and how this lingering anxiety has been nudging me toward a depressive episode I'm now trying to fight off.This one's raw, reflective, and full of the honesty you've come to expect from The Dysregulated Podcast. If you've ever tried to give yourself a break and still ended up overwhelmed, this one's for you.--Follow my journey living with mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way. Lived experience is the driving force of this podcast, and through this lens, my stories are told. This is a raw, honest, and authentic account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showTo support the show, CLICK HEREYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters

Hello to you listening in Brockville, Ontario, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Question: What is the difference between knowing something and knowing about something?The distinction is important because people often write what they know about based on what social media tells us whether that's politics, sports, entertainment, social justice, and so on. Social media also tells us how come what we know about is important to us. As a result what we know about often doesn't matter that much. The disconnect shows up in our writing, as if maybe AI generated it.What we know comes from lived experience. What we know is a clue to what matters to us. For example, I might know about the grinding defeat of poverty; but I know from lived experience the defeat of betrayal.When we write a heartfelt story about something that we know we are pulling on imagination, sensations, memories, feelings, and emotions. Those universal story elements are shared by every other human being. When we write from that place of knowing we more easily connect with, engage and inspire our readers and listeners to action.CTA: Curious to learn more?

“I think the most radical thing you can do in education is speak up, listen, and to make room for love because every learner has a powerful story, and it's one that can be told and received when we offer the right tools to do so.” -Caroline WeaverWe sit with LD advocate and researcher Caroline Weaver to discuss her interdisciplinary capstone project that creates an intersection of lived experience, art, advocacy, and research. Caroline's project delves into how school systems can cause harm and deficit mindsets to neurodiverse students, the power of self-love, self-knowledge, and self-advocacy, the importance of including individuals with LD in LD research, and much more. Visit Caroline's project at: https://cpweaver26.wixsite.com/advocacy2action

In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morris and Richard Doerflinger discuss the Catholic Church's teachings on sexual morality, particularly in the context of contraception and family planning. They explore the cultural shifts towards subjectivism in moral reasoning, the role of the Pontifical Academy for Life, and share personal experiences that highlight the challenges and implications of these teachings. The discussion emphasizes the need for a return to moral absolutes and the importance of rebuilding a marriage culture to address issues like abortion. This conversation explores the profound social and moral implications of contraception and abortion, emphasizing the unintended consequences of these practices on individuals and society. The speakers discuss how the contraceptive ideology has led to increased out-of-wedlock childbearing, emotional distress among women, and a shift in moral norms that undermine the sanctity of life. They argue for the importance of moral absolutes and the need to recognize the lived experiences of those affected by these issues, advocating for a return to a culture that respects human dignity and the value of life.

Catholicism is one of the last holdouts against contraception, abortion, euthanasia, sex outside of marriage, and more. The Church's moral teachings ultimately protect people from heartache, illness, broken families, and, especially in the case of abortion, death. And yet, these teachings have opponents even within the Catholic Church's hierarchy. Richard Doerflinger is one of the contributors to Lived Experience and the Search for Truth: Revisiting Catholic Sexual Morality, which argues against those who wish to change the Church's moral teachings. He shares his personal experience of how The Pill affected his wife physically and mentally, and how they came to follow the Church's path, Natural Family Planning, instead. Doerflinger explains how secular culture has turned to “expressive individualism” and subjectivism, where moral principals are whatever feels right for the individual. This mindset causes problems, Doerflinger explains. Moral absolutes are absolute for a reason.

This week on The Criminologist podcast, we welcome the brilliant and boundary-pushing Lucy Bentley—a former probation officer turned podcast producer who's redefining how we talk about justice, rehabilitation, and lived experience. Lucy's career spans frontline work in probation, prison services, and recovery programs, where she championed strengths-based, trauma-informed approaches for individuals navigating the criminal justice system. Now, she's bringing those same insights—and a touch of humor—to the microphone. In this episode, we explore: ✅ Lessons from the field – What Lucy's podcasting self would tell her former probation officer self ✅ Lived experience in media – The fine line between amplification and exploitation ✅ Neurodiversity and justice reform – The one change Lucy would implement overnight ✅ Ancient myths & modern justice – Why probation might just be the modern-day Odyssey And, of course, we dive into Lucy's newest project—The History Mongers—her upcoming podcast where history meets comedy, and storytelling gets just a little bit chaotic. If you love quirky history, mythology, and unexpected connections to the world we live in today, this is a show you won't want to miss!
