Podcasts about losing your mind

In this episode of the podcast I address the widespread experience of exhaustion and burnout. Rather than offering quick fixes, I share three reflective questions to really help you reset and recover long term. Recovery often comes from subtraction, not addition. This can look like simplifying, setting boundaries, and making small, consistent changes. Listen now!Mentioned in the show - let's hop on a call and create your plan! Book a time HERE

She went on to transcribe and preserve Daniel's teachings, publishing Daniel's Journal and the award-winning book "Losing Your Mind", recognised with the 1996 Body, Mind, Spirit Award of Excellence. An updated version of the book, released in 2025, is called "Remember Who You Are."  As the founder of Universoul Foundations, Andi now guides others through deep personal and spiritual transformation, blending compassion, practical tools, and decades of experience. With a Master's in adult learning and 15 years at the Hoffman Institute as a teacher and trainer, her work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their true selves and live with purpose, clarity, and fulfilment. We talks about channeling, spiritual guidance, man's purpose, technology, the future of our planet and, community and being a spiritual being in a material world. www.univerSOULfoundations.com

Finding new musicians for your band sounds simple until your DMs turn into a crime scene.This week on Cover Band Confidential, Adam and Dan break down what actually goes into replacing a band member, filling a sub spot, or building a roster without losing your mind in the process. Adam is in the middle of this right now with Members Only as their longtime drummer transitions out of rotation, so this one is less “theoretical advice” and more “live footage from the hiring trenches.”We talk through the practical steps that make the search less painful: defining the role, being clear about the project, writing a specific audition post, asking for video early, using trusted referrals, being honest about money, filtering for availability, and auditioning people for the actual job they'll be doing.Because finding the best player is not always the same thing as finding the right player.Also in this episode: Adam recaps a Midwest family trip through Chicago, Saugatuck, South Bend, Notre Dame, Wrigleyville, and Chicago Music Exchange The emotional danger of playing an $8,000 Les Paul that unfortunately feels worth it Dan previews a trip to Utah and Las Vegas, including a possible live band karaoke meetup at The Venetian Why “clear communication” is basically the whole episode The value of asking for audition video before wasting everyone's time Why availability can matter as much as talent How to spot professional habits before someone is officially in the band Why a trial period protects both the band and the new player The terrifying concept of “musician icks” Finding band members is a slog, but you can make it less sloggy. And if you're leading the project, the goal is not just to find a player. It's to be the kind of band leader people actually want to work with.#CoverBandConfidential #CoverBandTips #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #GiggingMusician #CoverBand #LiveMusicBusiness #BandAuditions #MusicianLife #WeddingBand #CorporateBand #DrummerSearch #BandManagement #MusicPodcast #LiveBandTipscover band confidential, cover band podcast, working musician podcast, how to find musicians for a band, how to audition band members, finding a drummer, band audition tips, cover band tips, gigging musician advice, band leader advice, how to replace a band member, musician auditions, hiring musicians for a band, wedding band musicians, corporate band musicians, live band business, band management tips, how to run a cover band, professional musician habits, finding reliable musicians, musician availability, audition video for musicians, band rehearsal prep, cover band drummer, live music podcast

What does control actually look like when you strip away the labels and get down to behavior? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Hassan to talk about the BITE Model, one of the most practical frameworks for understanding how controlling people, high-demand groups, and manipulative systems gain influence over others. Dr. Hassan draws from his own experience of being recruited into the Unification Church, often referred to as the Mooney's cult, and explains how the work of psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton helped him understand what had happened to him. From there, he breaks down the four parts of the BITE Model, Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional control, and explains how these methods can slowly override independent thinking and trap people in unhealthy systems.This conversation goes beyond cults. It helps us think through coercive control in families, relationships, organizations, religious groups, and other environments where power gets used to dominate rather than serve. If you've ever asked yourself how intelligent, capable people can get pulled into harmful systems, this interview gives you a clear, grounded place to start. Watch all the way through, because Dr. Hassan also explains how people can begin to test what they've been told, step back from controlling influence, and start reclaiming their freedom.#ProfilingEvil #StevenHassan #BITEModel #CoerciveControl #UndueInfluence #CultPsychology #MindControl #ThoughtReform #RobertLifton #BehaviorControl #InformationControl #ThoughtControl #EmotionalControl #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalysis #CultSurvivor #FreedomOfMind #HighControlGroups #ForensicPsychology #criminalbehavior ========================================Check out Dr. Steven Hassan at www.FreedomOfMind.com ========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Carol Ofori talked about a term she recently discovered called ‘'matrescence.'' Matrescence is the physical, emotional, mental and social transition a woman goes through when becoming a mother. The term helps explain that becoming a mother is not an instant switch, it's a process and a journey of adjustment and growth. She asked mothers across KZN , what their matrescence journey has been like? What part of themselves did they lose, discover, or rebuild after becoming a mom?

In this week's episode, Kacy and Tyler chat about staying on track this summer and share practical advice to help you stay on track.

So you want to build a recording rig. Great. Now try not to spend your rent money on cables, mystery boxes, and a power supply that hums like an angry refrigerator. This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody jump into the wonderful, confusing, mildly dangerous world of building a home or mobile recording setup. If you have ever stared at an audio interface, three cables, two adapters, and one blinking red light while asking, “Why do I do this to myself?” this episode is for you. The goal is simple: build a rig that works without turning your creative life into a tech support dungeon. Chris and Jody break down the core gear choices, the setup traps, and the “oh no, I bought the wrong thing” moments that can sneak up on anyone. They cover the basics that matter most, including how to think about your interface, why cabling is never as simple as it should be, and how power issues can ruin your day faster than a bad take. You will get clear recording setup tips that help you avoid wasted money and wasted time. This is not about building the fanciest studio on the block. It is about building a useful, reliable rig that lets you record music, podcasts, voiceovers, or whatever sonic madness you are chasing. And because this is Chris and Jody, it does not stay too serious for too long. The episode includes their usual mix of practical advice and classic nonsense, including the mental image of recording from a van parked in front of a taco truck. Honestly, if the signal is clean, who are we to judge? For anyone sorting through home studio gear, trying to build a mobile rig, or wondering where the line is between “prepared” and “I have made a terrible financial choice,” this episode gives you a smarter path forward. Plus, Friday Finds returns with more tools and ideas to keep your setup fresh. Hit play and learn how to build your rig without losing your mind, your wallet, or that one cable you definitely just had a second ago.   #HomeStudioGear #RecordingSetupTips #AudioInterface #MobileRecording #HomeRecordingSetup #StudioGearTips #RecordingRig #FridayFinds 

One of the scariest OCD spirals can start with a simple thought: what if this isn't OCD at all? For many people, OCD doesn't just attack fears around harm or contamination — it can also latch onto the fear of “going crazy,” losing touch with reality, or developing something more serious like psychosis or schizophrenia. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath breaks down why OCD targets these fears so aggressively and why trying to prove to yourself that you're okay only keeps the cycle alive. He also explains the key difference between OCD and psychotic disorders, and how therapy helps people stop treating every intrusive thought like an emergency that needs to be solved.At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.

You kept all the balls in the air for decades. Then menopause hit. Now your ADHD brain drops every one — and everyone around you thinks you just stopped caring. This episode is that conversation nobody has in public.   In This Episode: Why menopause pushes ADHD symptoms into crisis mode The stigma ADHD Entrepreneur women face — from their own heads and everyone else Judgement, masking, and why "having it all together" is a lie   What You'll Take Away: Menopause can expose every workaround an ADHD Entrepreneur built Forgetfulness, brain fog, and spiral thinking aren't failures — they're neurology and biology at war Stigma sticks hardest when you look like you "had it all together" until now Most women think they're the only ones falling apart — they aren't High achiever wiring compounds judgement — internally and externally   GUEST BIOVicki Noels-Cornish is the founder of The Company U. She's an ADHD brain, people development consultant, and Colby-certified advisor advocating for new ways to work, especially for women who don't fit society's measuring stick.   Follow Vicki Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCompanyYOU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecompanyyou_vicki X: https://x.com/thecompanyYOU   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode of The Impulsive Thinker® rips the lid off menopause and ADHD inside the Entrepreneur world. Vicki Noels-Cornish walks through exactly what happens when your old playbook stops working. ADHD, entrepreneurship, masking, and menopause collide in raw detail. The Impulsive Thinker® doesn't let go until all the ugly stigma, judgement, and self-doubt are out in the open. The discussion breaks apart why ADHD Entrepreneur women get blindsided by menopause and a lifetime of high achiever masking. Forget the clinical stuff — this one's about the real-life meltdowns nobody's talking about. This matters because you're not losing your edge — your biology and neurology just hit a new level of chaos. Every system you built to survive the grind won't save you here. If you've ever lost track of reality, felt judged for being "too much," or got told you dropped the ball after years of keeping it all together — listen now. Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.

What if summer felt less like something to survive and more like a season your family actually knew how to enjoy?In this episode of Life Of And, Tiffany sits down with Michelle Gambs to talk about how working parents can move into summer with more clarity, structure, and peace. When school ends, the built-in rhythm of the day disappears, and suddenly the season can start to feel like one long negotiation over boredom, screens, work, childcare, and everyone's expectations. Michelle offers a more practical way to think about it, helping parents create enough predictability to calm the chaos without over-managing every moment.This conversation is a reminder that summer does not have to be something families simply survive. With clear expectations, age-appropriate responsibility, and a willingness to let kids practice solving some of their own problems, summer can become a season where the whole family feels more capable. Listeners will walk away with practical language, steadier boundaries, and a more peaceful way to make summer feel intentional without trying to control every minute.What You'll Learn:How to create summer structure without over-scheduling every minuteWhy boredom can help kids build creativity, independence, and problem-solving skillsWhy summer is a powerful time to teach life skills like cooking, planning, and responsibilityFor more from Michelle, check out these links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-gambs-710437176 Website: https://www.michellegambs.com/ Get Michelle's book Stay Away from Option D...and You Will Be a Perfect Parent: A Simple Philosophy for Parenting.

Producer Eric joins Travis in the newly rearranged studio to vent about a brutal budget-airline trip that destroyed camera gear, froze passengers on the tarmac, and turned a simple flight into a four‑and‑a‑half‑hour odyssey via Denver. Along the way, the two dig into how airlines design systems that feel impossible to navigate, and what tradeoffs are actually worth paying for when you travel a lot for business. This is a funny, highly relatable episode for anyone who flies budget carriers to save money but pays for it in time, stress, and broken equipment. On this episode we talk about: How Frontier destroyed their tripod and sent Joanna on an hour‑long customer service loop with zero resolution. Why airline support systems feel intentionally designed to avoid helping you (and how that shows up at baggage desks and hotlines). Eric's nightmare cold-weather boarding experience in Denver, with wheelchairs, crying kids, and 20 minutes freezing on the tarmac. The real economics and ethics of ultra‑cheap flights, from standing‑room “saddle seats” to charging passengers to use the restroom. Which travel “extras” are actually essential (TSA PreCheck, lounges) versus non‑essential depending on how often you fly. Top 3 Takeaways Budget airlines might save you money on the ticket, but they often cost you far more in broken gear, time delays, and emotional energy, especially if you fly for work. Airline customer service loops are often structured to deflect responsibility, so if you choose ultra‑low‑cost carriers, you need to assume minimal support when things go wrong. For frequent travelers, paying for things like TSA PreCheck and lounge access can be a worthwhile investment in comfort, productivity, and sanity—even if the base fare is higher. Notable Quotes “Basically you have built a system that is designed to not help anybody do anything.” “I paid 78 bucks five years ago so I never have to go in the regular line.” “I'll pay the extra money for a better seat on Frontier just so I can get a direct flight—even though I know it's not going to be a great experience.” Connect with Travis: • LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell⁠ • Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/travischappell⁠ • Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/travischappell⁠ • Other: ⁠https://travischappell.com⁠ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this episode, I sit down with Sol Kennedy — software developer, founder of the co-parenting app Best Interest, host of the Co-parenting Beyond Conflict podcast, and a man who built the thing he needed most during one of the hardest seasons of his life. Sol grew up watching a codependent father and a controlling mother, and spent years of his adult life repeating that dynamic — giving up his power in relationships, avoiding conflict at all costs, and calling the absence of fighting a good marriage. It took a divorce, his first therapy session at 38, and laying awake next to his girlfriend at 2am feeling that familiar anxiety spike when his phone pinged from his ex for Sol to finally build something different. We dig into the psychology behind why co-parenting is so emotionally explosive — the trapped emotions, the triggers, the courtroom-ready anger that destroys custody cases — and Sol walks us through exactly how the Best Interest app works. It acts as an AI-powered filter between you and your ex, stripping inflammatory language before it reaches you, flagging your own reactive messages before you send them, and letting you set communication boundaries without needing your co-parent's cooperation. It's essentially a bodyguard for your inbox — and for your peace of mind. We also get into the practical stuff: why you should start with a divorce coach, not a bulldog attorney; why anger in the courtroom is the fastest way to lose custody; and why therapy isn't optional if you want to actually show up well for your kids on the other side of a divorce.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] The moment that sparked Best Interest — lying in bed next to his girlfriend, anxiety spiking at every notification from his ex [2:23] What Our Family Wizard is and how co-parenting apps work [4:28] Why co-parenting is so hard — you're still in a relationship with someone you divorced [7:52] Sol's origin story — the codependent father, the controlling mother, and the name he chose for himself [9:22] Stepping into therapy at 38 for the first time — learning what "triggered" and "boundary" meant [13:05] Who Sol Kennedy is — founder of Best Interest, host of Co-parenting Beyond Conflict [14:30] How Sol's childhood shaped the relationships he sought out as an adult [19:47] The golden child, the scapegoat, and a marriage that never had real depth [23:29] How divorce changed what he was attracted to — and the intimacy he found on the other side [26:59] The catalyst for the divorce — a year and a half of therapy, a repetitive cycle, and his wife leaving just before the Covid lockdowns [29:26] How Best Interest differs from Our Family Wizard — shifting from a court-ready mindset to a conflict-prevention mindset [31:49] How the AI filter works in practice — stripping inflammatory language before it reaches you [33:29] How it protects you from yourself — reviewing your outgoing messages before you send something you'll regret [35:44] The only co-parenting app you can use solo — no co-parent buy-in required [36:46] Setting message frequency limits — Sol's solution to the 30-messages-a-day ex [38:25] The AI bodyguard — how Best Interest changes lives one filtered message at a time [41:14] Why men specifically get themselves in trouble — anger in the courtroom is the fastest way to lose custody [43:47] What newly separated men need to know — start with a divorce coach, not a bulldog attorney [45:19] Get to therapy now — learning where you feel stress in your body is not soft, it's survival [46:41] Internal Family Systems and somatic work — why trapped emotions show up as physical sensations   Five Key Takeaways Co-parenting is still a relationship — and without the right tools, the same patterns that broke the marriage will destroy the co-parenting dynamic too. Anger in the courtroom costs men custody. If you haven't done the work to regulate your emotions before you walk in, all the advice in the world won't save you in that moment. The best co-parenting boundaries are the ones you can enforce yourself — without needing your ex to cooperate or agree to anything. Start with a divorce coach, not a bulldog attorney. A good divorce coach will save you money, reduce conflict, and help you avoid the court system altogether where possible. Therapy is not optional. Learning where you feel stress in your body, understanding your triggers, and processing trapped emotions isn't soft — it's what lets you show up as the parent your kids need.   Links & Resources Dad Edge Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/boardroom The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com Best Interest Co-parenting App: Available on the App Store and Google Play — search "Best Interest" Co-parenting Beyond Conflict Podcast with Sol Kennedy: Available wherever you get your podcasts Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1466): https://thedadedge.com/1466   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: you don't have to let your ex's words reach you unfiltered — and you don't have to send your worst ones either. Sol Kennedy built the thing he needed most when he needed it most. And what he built is now changing the daily lives of co-parents who are trying to stay grounded, protect their kids from the fallout, and build a new chapter without letting the old one keep pulling them back under.

This episode kicks off a new series called “Israel, the Church, and God's Promises.” Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker want to work out a series of questions for their own exploration of how Israel relates to the church and much more. What do we mean by biblical Israel, ethnic Israel, covenant Israel, remnant Israel, the church, and modern Israel? Why does this subject become such a distraction in church life, and why do so many Christians feel like they're one wrong sentence away from being called pro-Israel, anti-Israel, or liberal? What does the Bible say? How might we think about this? What does this matter? This is the introduction to a 9-week series on this topic. Copyright 2026.

If you are trapped in a Dark Night of the Soul and feel like you are losing your mind, you need to understand that this spiritual crisis isn't just a mental battle, it is a high-stakes unveiling where demons exploit your vulnerability to keep you from your divine awakening. We're back after 4 months of silence, and we aren't holding anything back.Why did we disappear? Because the Apocalypse isn't coming, it's already here, and it's happening inside of YOU. In this explosive recap, we dive into the gut-wrenching reality of the Dark Night of the Soul. Is that crushing weight you feel God's hand refining you, or is it a legal right you've given to the accuser? We tackle the "Original Sin" lie: Are you a born sinner deserving of abuse, or an angelic being trapped in a fallen nature?We're exposing the toxic modern culture that demands you be tolerated instead of celebrated, and why 2026 is the year of the Great Separation. From the "demonic" controversy of Sound Baths and Crystals to 1990s Hollywood UFO secrets and "Solar Obliteration" techniques, this episode is a roadmap through the spiritual minefield.✨ Download Our FREE Throne Room Meditation✨ ➡️ https://www.truthseekah.com/throne-room-free➡️ Support on Patreon! https://patreon.com/join/truthseekah✅ Get access to 40+ video lessons + Weekly LIVE calls!✅ Worldwide Online Community!✅ Courses, Monthly Webinars, Prayer, Meditation, Discussion✅ TruthSeekah's Meditation Library

Let's Argue… Better

You walk into the conversation feeling clear, calm, and even confident. Then, somehow, you walk out, replaying every sentence, wondering if you said it wrong, if you overreacted, if you are the problem. If that sounds familiar, there's a good chance you just tried communicating with a narcissist, or you're dealing with narcissistic tendencies up close at work or at home. Maybe it's a narcissistic boss who turns every meeting into a scoreboard. Maybe it's a narcissistic coworker who can't share credit. Maybe it's a client, a partner, a friend, the person you cannot fully avoid. You try to resolve the issue like an adult, and suddenly you're in a loop of gaslighting, deflection, and a conversation that keeps snapping back to them. That's exhausting. It drains your energy, scrambles your confidence, and makes even simple conflict feel like walking through wet cement. In this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, I'm talking to you about how to deal with a narcissist without losing your peace, your professionalism, or your self-respect. Not in a "win the argument" way, because you already know that usually goes nowhere. In a practical, real-life way that helps you stay steady, set boundaries with a narcissist, and keep the conversation pointed toward an outcome instead of getting dragged into their chaos. If you've ever thought, "Why does every difficult conversation become a trial?" you're in the right place. If you're watching this because you feel worn out, tense before meetings, or you're starting to doubt yourself after every interaction, I want you to hear me clearly. You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're not "too sensitive." You're navigating a tough personality dynamic, and there are communication skills that can help you hold your ground without becoming someone you don't recognize. Stick with me to the end, because the most important shift isn't what you say to them. It's what you stop giving away to them. If this hits home, leave a comment and tell me what you're dealing with right now. Narcissist at work, toxic coworker, narcissistic boss, or something closer to home. And if you know someone who needs this, share it with them. We Ripple better when we don't do this alone.

Pre-order The Mental Strength Playbook and enjoy exclusive bonuses today! Have you ever dealt with someone who thrives on drama and leaves you feeling completely exhausted? You might think that keeping your power means you have to speak up, tell the truth, and share your opinion. But true mental strength isn't always about being the loudest person in the room. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is refuse to engage in the battle altogether. Fortunately, there is a simple way to protect your peace and starve toxic people of the reactions they're trying to get. Today, I'm sharing a powerful tool called the "Gray Rock Strategy" that will help you handle manipulative people without losing your mind—or giving away your power. Some of the things I talk about are: Why becoming as boring and uninteresting as a "gray rock" is your best defense against drama. The psychology behind why toxic people crave your emotional reactions (and how to cut off their supply). Practical, everyday tips to keep your responses brief, factual, and completely neutral. The crucial difference between using the "Gray Rock Strategy" and stonewalling someone. How to set powerful, invisible emotional boundaries to protect your mental energy in real life and online.

Measurement isn't math. It's storytelling with numbers—and in a PESO Model® operating system, it's how you prove what changed (not what you did). In this Spin Sucks episode, Gini Dietrich breaks measurement down for marketers who would rather alphabetize their spice drawer than open a dashboard. You'll learn the outcome-first framework behind PESO measurement, how to stop reporting outputs and activities, and how to measure PESO as a system that creates, validates, distributes, and amplifies proof with purpose.

In this co-hosted episode, Travis Chappell and his producer Eric dive into two heated debates in the personal finance world—starting with viral criticism of Dave Ramsey and expanding into the broader conversation around financial influencers, online courses, and what qualifies as “predatory” in today's creator economy. With humor, hot takes, and a healthy dose of nuance, Travis breaks down why attacking someone's past doesn't automatically invalidate their advice—and why personal responsibility still matters, even in a world full of loud opinions. On this episode we talk about: The viral thread criticizing Dave Ramsey's bankruptcy history Whether financial advice becomes invalid if the messenger isn't perfect The reality of “grind seasons” vs. making lifelong sacrifices When online courses are valuable—and when they cross into predatory territory Why people value what they pay for (and ignore what's free) The difference between accountability and outrage culture Top 3 Takeaways A past mistake doesn't automatically invalidate present wisdom. Sometimes the lesson is the reason the advice exists. Short-term sacrifice can be necessary—but it should be a phase, not a permanent lifestyle. When people pay, they pay attention. Free information is everywhere, but financial commitment often drives real action. Notable Quotes “Is the advice sound or is it not? That's what actually matters.” “You don't have to sacrifice your present for your future—or your future for your present—if you learn how to make more money.” “People spend $1,000 on things that will never make them a dollar back—but hesitate to invest in fixing their financial life.” “Money only solves your money problems—but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you suffering from "crisis fatigue"? In this solo episode of Eyes Wide Open, Nick Thompson shares a raw look at navigating the modern media landscape and provides a survival guide for staying grounded in a world that feels like it's constantly on fire.   In this deeply personal episode, Nick explores the psychological toll of our crisis-saturated media landscape.    Drawing from his own experiences with intense public scrutiny following Love is Blind, he breaks down the brain's response to information overload and why constant "doom-scrolling" is a recipe for burnout.    This episode provides practical strategies for setting digital boundaries, reframing global empathy into local action, and understanding that protecting your mental health is, in itself, a powerful act of activism.    Learn some strategies on how to keep your eyes wide open without losing your peace of mind.   Key Takeaways & Revelations   - Digital Boundaries: Why "silencing notifications" and using "mute functions" are essential tools for reclaiming your attention and reducing anxiety. - The "News Bucket" Strategy: How to slow down your news diet with long-form content instead of the high-cortisol cycle of short-form social media. - Awareness vs. Burnout: Recognizing the fine line between being an informed citizen and being paralyzed by global helplessness. - Micro-Activism: Why shifting your focus from global chaos to local community engagement is the ultimate cure for "compassion fatigue." - Self-Care as Strategy: Understanding that you cannot effectively fight for a better world if your own internal world is in shambles.   Our Mission   Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.   Chapters   - 00:00 - Welcome: Navigating the feeling of global chaos - 02:10 - Lessons learned from surviving public scrutiny - 06:04 - The science of stress hormones and information overload - 10:20 - Practical Tool: Silencing notifications to regain control - 12:02 - Setting boundaries: The power of the "Mute" button - 14:28 - Why short-form content fuels anxiety - 15:32 - Slowing down: Transitioning to a long-form news diet - 16:25 - Focus on what you can control vs. global helplessness - 18:21 - Digital "Buckets": Setting time boundaries to prevent burnout - 21:01 - From empathy to action: Tangible support in your community - 23:58 - Why mental health is a requirement for effective activism - 26:53 - Final thoughts: Stay open, stay well, and act within your capacity   Find Nick Thompson here:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/ | https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/ UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/ Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com

Parenting a strong-willed child can feel intense, exhausting, and isolating, especially when your kid has big emotions, strong opinions, and a “justice-seeking” spirit that won't quit. In this episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy sits down with parenting coach and author Mary Van Geffen to talk about how to parent a “spicy one”, without losing your mind, your confidence, or their spark. You'll learn how to set firm and kind boundaries, why repair matters more than perfection, and how simple shifts in your tone of voice, pace, and posture can change everything when your child pushes back. Mary also shares powerful mindset shifts from her new book Parenting a Spicy One, including the idea that your child isn't your problem, they're your curriculum. If you're raising a strong-willed or “spicy” kid and you want more cooperation, less yelling, and a home that feels safer and more connected, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/310⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.
