Send us a text"Dancing for the Devil—Episode 1 Part 1 - Die to Yourself" recounts the harrowing journey of the Wilking sisters, Melanie and Miranda, through their involvement with Shekinah Church, founded by Robert Shinn, and its associated group, 7M. The episode begins with the Wilking family's desperate attempt to reconnect with Miranda, who has been isolated from them since joining the church. Despite their efforts, including visits to the church gate and numerous calls, Miranda remains out of reach, even missing her grandfather's funeral under dubious claims of having COVID-19. This separation is indicative of the church's control over its members, compelling them to cut ties with their families.Miranda's entanglement with the church began after moving to Los Angeles post-high school and forming relationships with key members of the dance community, including James (B-Dash), who introduced her to Robert Shinn's circle. The narrative reveals how Melanie also got involved, initially invited to Shinn's house where she experienced unsettling religious practices and coercive tactics. Financial exploitation is highlighted, with members being subjected to steep fees and controlled bank accounts, leaving Miranda financially drained and dependent on the church.As the story unfolds, Melanie distances herself from the church after a series of controlling demands, while Miranda remains entrenched, further alienating her family. The church's manipulation becomes evident through practices such as signing non-disclosure agreements during services and enforcing strict separation of new members from long-term devotees. Former member Melanie Lee's experiences corroborate these accounts, revealing systemic control and abuse within the church over decades.The episode sheds light on the psychological and financial manipulation within Shekinah Church. Members are forced to surrender large portions of their income and subjected to public shaming for non-compliance. The church's control extends to personal relationships, with members reporting all thoughts and actions to a mentor, creating a pervasive atmosphere of surveillance and obedience. Financial records reveal that church leaders, particularly Shinn's wife Hannah, exploit members for labor and monetary gain, maintaining strict control over their finances.A turning point occurs when Melanie Lee recalls the sexual abuse scandal involving Robert Shinn, which initially led to a loss of church workers but eventually saw Shinn manipulating and retaining control over remaining members like Melanie and her sister Priscylla. This abuse and manipulation culminate in Priscylla's eventual escape, although she continues to struggle with the psychological aftermath. The episode underscores the enduring impact of Shinn's control, with former members grappling with the trauma and attempting to reclaim their lives.The episode concludes with a glimpse into the ongoing legal battle against Robert Shinn, initiated by Melanie and Priscylla. Their decision to sue is driven by a desire for justice and to expose the church's exploitation. The involvement of the dancers in the lawsuit highlights the shared experiences of manipulation and control, emphasizing the collective struggle against Shinn's oppressive regime. Despite the legal actions, key members like Miranda, James, and Nick remain loyal to 7M, illustrating the deep-rooted influence of the church on its followers.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

A model for truly integrative therapy: SIP with Dr Melanie Lee and Bridger FalkensteinI'm here today with Dr Mel Lee from Trust Psychology, and Bridger Falkenstein from the Beyond Healing Centre in the US, and notably also from the Notice That podcast. I'm really excited to have Mel and Bridger here today to talk to us about Somatic Integration Processing, which is a new model which aims to help us to synthesise the other approaches that we might have in our arsenal as therapists. SIP has a really deep focus on the mind and body connection, and also on the multiplicity of selves. For me, these are two things that have always been a really big part of my work, but I have often struggled to see how they all come together and fit into a treatment plan.

100th Episode! What I have gained from 100 episodes of podcastingWelcome to what is for me a really special episode of the Business of Psychology podcast.  It's really special to me because this is the 100th episode! It's actually not the 100th episode that I've recorded, as you might have noticed there are a few bonus episodes in there and they don't count in the official numbers, so we're actually well over 100 in terms of actual numbers, but this is the official episode 100 of the Business of Psychology and it's pretty momentous for me.  I started this as a passion project, which came from my need to connect with other people, and my desire to share some of the business knowledge or advice that I'd picked up in my first few years in private practice. I was pretty desperate to share that because I felt like I'd been through a lot of pain that a lot of people didn't need to go through, and also that a lot of really valuable work and ideas for social enterprises and services that were badly needed in my community, were falling at the first hurdle because people didn't understand business, and they didn't understand marketing, and I understand that not everybody wants to know a lot about those things, or not everybody wants to spend hours and hours and lots of money either doing courses and coaching programmes and all this stuff that I enjoyed and loved doing and continue to do. So this podcast for me was really about connecting with like-minded people, and also providing something to help people who have got amazing ideas, but not necessarily very much knowledge about business or marketing, to reach more people and make a big impact in the world. I could never have imagined when I set out thinking maybe I'll record six episodes, maybe I'll stretch it to 10, but have I got that much to say? I could never have predicted that I would get to 100 episodes, and that actually this podcast would be the bedrock of my business as it is now; my business which has changed dramatically over the two-and-a-bit years that I've been making this podcast. So I thought that I would record the 100th episode as a reflection on everything that I've learned from podcasting, and maybe it might inspire some of you to start your podcasting journeys, because I really think that a lot of you have got really important messages to put out there in the world, and podcasting is a great medium to do that, but I know from firsthand experience that it can feel a bit daunting to get started and it can also feel like a massive investment. So I thought it would be a good idea for me to share with you the ways in which podcasting has paid off as an investment for me; the things I've learned from it, the benefits that I've reaped from it, so that you can have a think about whether it might be right for you as well.  This would also be a good first episode to listen to if you're new to the Business of Psychology, because I am going to mention some of the podcast episodes that have inspired me the most. If you head to the show notes, every episode I mention will be linked to there, so this could be a good one to listen to if you're new to our podcast. 1. InspirationThe first thing that I wanted to talk about is all of the inspiration that I have got from recording the Business of Psychology and the amazing people who I've interviewed. Now, if I was going to list out every inspiring episode that I've recorded it would be too long, because I have had some phenomenal guests on the Business of Psychology. But the one that really sprung to my mind when I was writing this episode was the episode I recorded with https://psychologybusinessschool.com/the-business-of-psychology/turning-a-practice-into-a-service-with-dr-melanie-lee/ (Melanie Lee), who talked to us about how to grow a team. What inspired me about talking to Melanie was the vision that she had; she knew exactly what service she wanted to provide, and it was bigger than her, it was bigger

Many people who smoke are very afraid of gaining weight when they stop. After working with smokers for 20 years, I happen to know that this doesn't need to be the case when your mind is in the right place.

In episode 56 of Thin Thinking Podcast, my guest Melanie Lee, will prove this point, not only with her wonderful story of stopping smoking, but how quitting prompted her to begin a journey of self love, which included releasing weight. She has now let go of 52.4 pounds so far. So learn the shifts she made in her thinking on her powerful journey of becoming healthier and happier in our Thin Thinking Podcast.

In this episode, we talk with The Parent Club co-host, Melanie Lee, about a recent preschool situation with her four-year-old daughter, Marley Grace.  If you've never had to discipline your child or you haven't ever had to correct behavior in your home, you should just stop listening to this because this won't be helpful.  BUT if you want to hear ways that another parent is doing it – failing at it – trying to do better – or just trying to get through one moment at a time, listen to it.    Melanie, a former teacher and assistant principal at middle and high schools, is now the Executive Director of NextGen (aka, Family Ministry) at Grace Bible Church.  Listen as she describes the anxiety this parenting situation created within herself, how she and her husband decided to respond, and how this has impacted the way they plan to proceed with disciplining Marley Grace moving forward.  You'll also hear how Melanie applied tips and tricks from previously taped episodes to pull together a strategy for this very moment!   Do YOU have a question you'd like answered?  Do YOU want to be a guest on the podcast?  Do YOU have an idea for who should be a guest?  Email us at theparentclub@gracebible.church.  We want to be FOR you!   Enjoy and check out our free resources! https://gracebible.church/nextgenresources

15 ways to create more flexibility (and passive income) in your psychology or therapy practice Every psychologist or therapist I speak to in Psychology Business School or Do More Than Therapy wants the same thing. To help people without burning themselves out. I very rarely have a coaching call where the words “work-life balance” are not mentioned. We often turn to private practice when we feel most desperately in need of improving our work-life balance. When we feel the scales have tipped and we are close to burnout. But I hear from many people who return to employment having concluded that the stress of running a private practice was not worth it. So, what does work-life balance actually look like for mental health professionals in private practice? Is it really achievable? Can a psychologist or therapist in private practice really achieve work-life balance?For me the answer is a definite yes, because I know it is possible, but with a caveat… I don't really think it is possible to have good work-life balance if you are following the traditional private practice model of just seeing 1:1 clients. I say that because even if you follow Sally Farrent's pricing strategy (and I fully recommend that you do) there are only a finite number of hours in the week and you will need to spend quite a few of them in front of clients in order to pay your bills. That makes it very hard to take a break when you need one, sick days become very costly and fitting in that pediatricians appointment for your child becomes very stressful as you know how much taking a morning off will impact on your take home pay this month.  We will all define work-life balance differently. For some it might mean only working two days a week, for others it might mean working five days a week but never working in the evening. I personally think of it as the balance between living my professional values and a good week is one where I don't have to make too many painful compromises.  What it means to you will depend entirely on your preferences, obligations and commitments. However, flexibility in your work is key to achieving whatever working pattern you desire. You will have seen me writing a lot recently about creating online courses and how courses can help you to develop some passive income. One of the benefits of courses is that they can continue to bring money into your practice even when you cannot physically be there and that is how I have personally brought flexibility into my working life. However, I feel it is important to make it clear that there are actually lots of different business models you can use to create that elusive work-life balance. It is important to pick the one that best suits your definition of work life balance and the way you like to work. Forcing yourself into creating courses, for example, if the thought of it makes you want to die of boredom is not going to work. In this podcast I will run through some of the business models that can bring you flexibility so you can work out which one is most likely to help you create the life that feels balanced to you: A psychology/therapy practice with associates. For a good example of how to do this see my podcast episodes with https://psychologybusinessschool.com/the-business-of-psychology/turning-a-practice-into-a-service-with-dr-melanie-lee/ (Melanie Lee) andhttps://psychologybusinessschool.com/the-business-of-psychology/case-management-a-creative-and-flexible-way-to-work-for-psychologists-with-dr-shabnam-berry-khan/ ( Shabnam Berry-Kahn) who have both developed successful associate based practices. Physical resources. For a good example of this take a look at the big hitters like https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/all-products/ (The School of Life) who have a huge amount of stuff available to buy for professionals and clients and https://www.carolynspring.com/start-here/ (Carolyn Spring) who develops useful trauma resources, digital and physical for...

On the first episode of season two of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by Melanie Lee to discuss how business owners and leadership team members who are jaded and lacking morale thanks to the effects and pressures of the pandemic. They discuss the psychology of self and the psychology of others to get the both out of you and your teams. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's a lot of emphasis on mindset and getting the best out of yourself, goal setting and psychological concepts that I can relate to and understand, but what used to frustrate me sometimes in some of these discussions was the missing piece about where really good, skilled psychological thinking can come in. We model how the brain actually works alongside what we know about relationships, linking and integrating the mind and the body. That's our passion. We are fundamentally social beings, the evolution of getting to the thinking brain is a higher evolved process, so when we're in situations of threat that's going to activate parts of our brain that drive us to primal behaviours. Who hasn't been in this state in the past 18 months? We can utilise neuroscience knowledge of how our brain works to explain our behaviours and give us choices rather than jumping straight to strategy – missing the process. There are three steps to assessing people who have been through traumatic events 1) Regulate, 2) Relate 3) Reason. These are based on the way the brain is structured. Most people intuitively just straight to reason to problem solve.  The right and the left brain are disconnected during traumatic experiences which is why we don't have words for certain experiences, but we can be triggered into remembering exactly how it feels. That's how we feel we're going crazy because we sense something, but we know logically in the moment there's nothing to be scared of. Business owners might be sensitive to moments of potential failure, or criticism, or not meeting an expectation that you'd set yourself and feeling you're coming below par. These feelings don't come out of nowhere, they have an historical route and it can be fascinating to get some coaching to work out what your relationship patterns are. Then you have choices, you can see it coming and choose your response.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Process means the how and the why of what we do rather than the what we say.' ‘Most of the finish is in the preparation.' ‘What is maintaining this problem?' ‘We think we know ourselves, but a lot of the time we're acting out of automatic response. If business owners can be responsive and not reactive it makes such a difference.' ‘Our body is wise, it remembers things.'

On the second episode of season two of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is again joined by Melanie Lee to further discuss the return to business after the pandemic. They talk about how you can make your team feel secure in a safe space, how you can engage with them to convey any changes in pace or operation and also how you can deal with non compliant individuals who refuse to return to work or fully reintegrate into your organisation. Gavin and Mel discuss psychological concepts that can be applied to your team building and processes to comfortably welcome and support your people.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You may not have teams that are as focused and motivated as you are upon your return. Don't be tempted to jump into conversation about any problems with their processes or working practices that you may have at this stage. Acknowledge your shared experiences of the lockdown together to receive the response you require in the long run. We will feel we are doing the best job we possibly can if two conditions are met. The first is that we feel we are working towards  life goal we feel unrestricted and  we have had a productive use of time. The second is it enjoyable and fun? We will put a huge amount of effort in if we feel it encompasses our personal values and goals and if it's fun and enjoyable. Make it clear to your team what their contribution adds to the delivery of the outcome. Offer praise individually to your team members, group affirmations are often meaningless as they can be perceived as disingenuous. Use celebration events to effectively bond your team. As leaders we can often forge ahead and lose sight of the people supporting us. When a goal is met it is good to use that success adrenaline to reinforce your gratitude for their effort and to cement their value and place in your organisation. When meeting with team members try to have in mind what your intention is in that meeting and keep that line throughout. To achieve this adopt a second person viewpoint and be aware of everyone's reactions and motivations to get a more rounded viewpoint of the trajectory of the conversation.  Without people in your business with trust in each other, having open and candid adult conversations you are never going to be able to sustain profitable growth and momentum. Maintain your interpersonal skills to facilitate honest communication. Be aware of the capacity of individuals attentions and their past traumas to map out the psychological map of your team.    BEST MOMENTS ‘Let's give some space and acknowledgement to what a year it's been; “What's it been like for you?”.' ‘If you want to change a behaviour, punishing it is just simply less effective.' ‘This is part of what the adrenaline of celebration is about, keeping that connection with your team.' ‘Come from an assertive place. Say “I'm noticing this, how are you doing, lets see what just happened here.' ‘If you label a conversation difficult before you start it is going to be difficult.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast To get 20% off at Knowable, go to www.knowable.fyi and enter the code GAVIN Get your copy of Survive And Thrive NOW at https://www.surviveandthrive.cc Keep Your Boat Afloat – https://survivetothrive.biz/keep-afloat gavin@gavinpreston.com    GUEST RESOURCES Melanie Lee is an experienced Clinical Psychologist, CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy) Practitioner and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapist with a passion for integrating the mind and the body and working with repeating relationship patterns in therapy.

Thanks for joining me on episode 14 of the “Therapy Explained” podcast. I'm joined by Dr Melanie Lee of Trust Psychology as we discuss cognitive analytic therapy (CAT). Mel talks through the history of CAT, how it balances structure and flexibility, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, endings in therapy and where CAT fits alongside EMDR and IFS in her practice. To help spread the word, please don't forget to review, rate and follow.

Today we will hear from Melanie Lee, our Executive Director of NextGen and Local Outreach, as she shares her journey of perseverance both to and in motherhood.   Melanie met her husband Michael later in life and, after two years of marriage, they felt ready to start their family. After trying for a while, they sought the counsel of medical professionals and learned their ability to have children would not be easy.  At one point, a doctor even told them they may need to consider “child-free living”.  Listen as Melanie describes their multi-year journey that included several rounds of IVF and ended in the adoption of their daughter Marley Grace.   Her story, though, does not end there.  Adopting Marley Grace was only the beginning as Melanie talks about navigating those initial years along with balancing the challenges of transracial adoption.    If you are a new parent, want to be a parent, or are single and have friends that are parents, this episode is for you as Melanie addresses how the support of others and their encouragement, along with her faith, helped her and Michael navigate their journey of parenthood.    Enjoy!   Check out our FREE resources!   https://gracebible.church/nextgenresources

BUT it can be overwhelming to figure out...

“If we wrap our missions around the patient and have early connections with them, I believe the data packages we pass on to those developing a product will be much richer, and diagnostic development may be much shorter - 2-3 years rather than 25 years.” This week on The G Word, Chris Wigley is joined by Dr Melanie Lee, CEO of medical research charity LifeArc. LifeArc translates promising scientific innovations into well-informed products for the benefit of patients. LifeArc are currently supporting a number of COVID-19 studies, including the GenOMICC Study, in partnership with Genomics England. Today, Chris and Melanie talk about engaging with different communities to identify the right problems, and discuss why receiving a diagnosis, even if there isn't necessarily a direct link to treatment, can be so important.

Adam talks to Dr Melanie Lee, Chief Executive of British life science medical research charity, LifeArc. Melanie talks about her journey and how she made the leap from academia to industry, the people that inspired her along her journey and what change she has seen over the years in attitudes towards the early detection of disease. Melanie shares her views on what the diagnostics industry could be doing to support the NHS in managing the backlog of disease as a result of the pandemic. She also talks about what projects she is most excited about at LifeArc, and what we can expect to see more of over the next 12 months.

In this week's episode, House 21 co-founder Melanie is joined by Lee-Anne Weise as she chooses her pick of the week's blog posts. They also discuss Lottie's 'Dear Donna' problem and Lee-Anne answers the question submitted y you over on Instagram!
