The Rotunda Podcast, hosted by Trimmel Gomes, is back from hiatus with a new episode featuring the Miami Herald's senior Tallahassee reporter, Mary Ellen Klas, who responds to Florida Power & Light's unusual public attack against her coverage. The nation's largest power company launched a webpage accusing Klas of being “a reporter with a historically anti-utility bias.” Klas tells Gomes the Herald's executive editor, Monica Richardson, stands in support of her coverage and has said: “a hit dog will holler.”Also, on the program, Republican state Representative Alex Andrade rejects the suggestion that the 2022 Legislative will be a battle of “culture war” issues and highlights some of the top issues that will dominate. The Rotunda Podcast will drop new episodes during the 2022 Legislative Session on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Monica Richardson, who became the top editor of the Miami Herald six months ago, talks with Brian Stelter about the Herald's first week of coverage of the condo collapse and why she expects "this story to go on for at least a year." Richardson describes how the newsroom initially mobilized to cover the collapse; why staffers from all across the newsroom have turned into disaster reporters; and how the organization set up a “Surfside bureau” for staffers to collaborate and recharge. She also shares the takeaways from a recent training session about grappling with trauma; talks about "sustaining our mental health" over the long haul; and touches on her priorities as executive editor.

Blog Talk Radio Safe Recovery podcast created by Filmmaker, activist, victims advocate, Monica Richardson hosts this 1 hour show- this week with author Stanton Peele. Join us as we take on the Addiction Recovery Industry. Stanton Peele, Ph. D., J.D., is a licensed psychologist, attorney, practicing psychotherapist and the author of books and articles on the subject of alcoholism, addiction and addiction treatment. Wikipedia Stanton Peele has been a cutting-edge figure in the addiction field for four decades. Since publishing (with Archie Brodsky) Love and Addiction in 1975, Stanton has been a leader in virtually every development in the field: that 12-step, AA treatment is not the be-all and end-all and that practical life-management therapies are most effective; that people's self-empowerment, values, and purpose in life (as opposed to seeing themselves as powerless) can be the light out of the tunnel; and that people generally don't get better all at once, but make gradual improvements (called harm reduction) in their lives that lead them out of addiction. Along the way, Stanton has written 12 books (including The Meaning of Addiction, Diseasing of America, The Truth About Addiction and Recovery, 7 Tools to Beat Addiction, and Addiction-Proof Your Child) and 250 professional articles, won numerous awards (including from the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs and the Drug Policy Alliance -- the leading drug policy reform organization in America), and created the Life Process Program for addiction treatment, which continues to be utilized worldwide.

Sober living homes should be required to report deaths to the DHCS in the state where the deaths occur.JarrodsLaw was founded after my 23 year old son Jarrod died a sober-living home called “The Safe House”.

This, combined with others who use AA to exploit emotionally vulnerable women for sex, can make AA meetings a very dangerous place.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg
In 2010, with seven years of struggle-free sobriety, Teresa knew that the traditional path of getting and living sober was not helping enough people. She auditioned for the Oprah Winfrey Network to create a show traveling the country to learn and share how others got and lived in recovery without twelve steps and alcoholics anonymous. Oprah didn't call, but that didn't stop her. Teresa had hopped on her pink cloud and rode out of the rooms of alcoholics anonymous to save her sobriety and knew there had to be something she could do to help others. In 2012, she founded Pink Cloud Coaching and started promoting, advocating, and coaching women to break free from the need to misuse alcohol without identifying as an alcoholic and become inspired to go after life-sober instead. She has since published Wholly Sober – How I Stopped Thinking About Drinking and Started Loving My Life and ready to release her second book, The Primed Drinker in which she explores the idea that the current path of recovery is creating alcohol”ism” – a belief system that hinders more than it helps. Today with over fifteen years of sobriety and has helped thousands of women through coaching, writing, speaking, and social media, Teresa is thrilled with the emerging scientific evidence that supports her philosophy and her work. https://www.pinkcloudcoaching.com/
