Lawsuit Update: Hypocrisy and Double Standards at Ramsey Solutions Explicit content and language warning.   ** This is a conversation that was recorded for the Untangled Faith Patreon community in December of 2022. Since it has been about a year since there was much movement in the O'Connor lawsuit, I decided to share this audio publicly. If you hear any mention of "upcoming" dates, keep in mind that this was recorded almost a year ago.**   In this episode of the Untangled Faith podcast, host Amy Fritz is joined by attorney, Melissa Hogan, to discuss the ongoing lawsuits that involve Dave Ramsey's company, Ramsey Solutions (The Lampo Group), and the hypocrisy and double standards within the organization. Melissa shares from her perspective as an attorney and from her personal experience with Ramsey Solutions in regard to the O'Connor lawsuit. Melissa and Amy also discuss the inadequate investigation conducted by Ramsey Solutions and shed light on the power dynamics within the organization and the intimidation faced by individuals who challenge the status quo. This episode serves as a wake-up call to listeners, reminding them of the need for ethical and responsible behavior within organizations. We should all be living in a way that if a camera was following us around, our goal is to be able to stand by whatever we've said or done. - Melissa Hogan   Resources: Court documents from the O'Connor Lawsuit https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17372107/oconnor-v-the-lampo-group-llc/?filed_after=&filed_before=&entry_gte=&entry_lte=&order_by=desc RNS reporting on O'Connor Lawsuit https://religionnews.com/2022/09/02/at-dave-ramseys-company-some-sex-outside-marriage-was-ok-court-documents-show-righteous-living-oral-sex-hogan/ Partial timeline of events, and O'Connor Lawsuit document map. https://untangledfaith.substack.com/p/hypocrisy-and-double-standards-at   Episodes you might enjoy: https://untangledfaithpodcast.com/2021/11/03/20-our-ramsey-story-part-4-the-got-your-six-meeting-1-of-2-episodes/ https://untangledfaithpodcast.com/2021/11/03/21-our-ramsey-story-part-5-the-got-your-six-meeting-2-of-2-episodes/   Support the show: Subscribe to my newsletter: https://untangledfaith.substack.com Join us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/untangledfaith This podcast is sponsored by Faithful Counseling.

Join us on Patreon and support the show here: https://patreon.com/untangledfaith   One of the most common questions those who have experienced harm in a faith community ask is, "What do I do if I want to tell my story, but I can't right now?" Maybe you signed an NDA. Maybe you have a legitimate fear associated with talking. If part of healing involves talking, what if I can't talk? Amy Fritz invites Lydia Craig and Melissa Hogan to join her to talk about how they navigated this for themselves and offer suggestions and hope for others. Topics Discussed: *How Amy, Lydia, and Melissa connected. *When an unhealthy "gossip policy" gets in the way of having important conversations. *How we figured out what was safe to share and who was safe to share with. *Being conditioned to not speak. *Reasons we didn't/couldn't speak for a time. *Other ways to process painful experiences like this without speaking directly and publicly. *Prioritizing your well-being. *Going to those who have exited prior to our own exits and asking to hear their story. *Documenting your experience. *The advantage we had with being associated with a public figure. *Private sensemaking. *What we would do differently.

Pierre was born and raised in Arnold's Cove, NL, a small outport community a little more than an hour from St. John's. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic he had been teaching English and traveling in Asia for the better part of a decade, with the last 4 and a half years spent in China. But the pandemic separated him from his life in China while he was on vacation and now, a little more than two years since he arrived back in Newfoundland with nothing but two changes of clothes, a camera, and a bicycle as his possessions, he is ready to bring all the passion and energy that he brought to the classroom to the streets of St. John's through lively, informative, and entertaining walking tours.St. John's Walking Tours is the brainchild of Pierre Trowbridge and Melissa Hogan, two longtime friends and passionate travellers that are now bringing that passion to the streets of St. John's. While the time from conception of the idea for St. John's Walking tours until launch took place over the last five months, the journey really began in January 2020 at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was during this time that Pierre was travelling by bicycle from Vietnam to Cambodia to visit friends on his winter vacation. As his journey got underway there were stories of an unknown virus and those stories and the virus followed him down the road. In the end Pierre found himself stranded outside China so he decided then that the best place for him was back in Canada. It was these circumstances and choices that created the situation for Trowbridge and Hogan to be reunited and eventually conceive and develop St John's Walking Tours.  Visit their website here: https://stjohnswalkingtours.com/#GaleForceWins is an inspirational podcast with new episodes every Tuesday evening on Youtube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Why can we sometimes find ourselves so trapped in negative thought patterns, going back to our unhealthy habits  or feeling so stuck in our ways? Today we explore the answers to these questions by taking a look at how the mind works, how are beliefs are formed and all about the massive role our subconscious plays in our daily lives.Our guest today is Melissa Hogan who is a hypnotherapist, past life regression therapist, life coach & NLP practitioner. Melissa takes us through how our minds operate and explains how hypnotherapy is not truly about how to make people cluck like a chicken but rather has much more powerful and practical uses in helping us create healthier habits, realise paralysing fear and adopt more positive and supportive thought patterns.

Today Kristy talks to Melissa Hogan. Melissa is a Master Practitioner of Hypnotherapy & NLP, Master Life Coach & Reiki Practitioner. Like many healers, Melissa's journey began when she hit a rock bottom after a life-changing event in 2017 and a deep inner knowing that life could be better than what she had been experiencing. She then made it her mission to not only heal from her experiences but to learn how to tap into her own innate wisdom, guidance and to live a truly aligned purposeful life. Her journey has continued to expand through the deepening of her own spiritual awakening. Melissa facilitates 1 on 1 past life regression sessions in addition to workshops and group programs utilising a combination of hypnotherapy, NLP, energy healing and her own intuitive gifts.
