In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, David Chambers speaks with Professor Ben Hine—psychologist and researcher at the University of West London—about the deep emotional toll family breakdowns have on fathers. From the overlooked role of dads in the family court system to the systemic biases men face during separation and divorce, this episode uncovers the hidden truths about fatherhood, emotional well-being, and societal expectations. If you're a father, know a father, or work with families, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. We explore mental health, parental alienation, masculinity, child attachment, and the impact of societal and cultural stereotypes on men's lived experiences. Ben received his BSc and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010, focusing on the gender-typing of prosocial behavior in youth. Since 2014 at the University of West London, his work in applied gender and forensic psychology has grown. He has investigated gender in the criminal justice system, including rape myth impact on case progression (with MOPAC), and collaborated with SafeLives and The Mankind Initiative on domestic violence victim needs, including LGBTQIA+ and male survivors.  More recently, he explores post-separation abuse, particularly Parental Alienation, a professional interest stemming from his own parents' divorce in 2020. This personal experience has led to collaborations with various charities, organizations, and parents, as well as reflective writing on family breakdown, abuse, PA, and family court involvement.   KEY TOPICS:   ⭐ Why Are Fathers Marginalised in Custody And Court Systems ⭐ Emotional Fallout From Family Breakdown For Separated Fathers ⭐ The Stereotypes Of The Absent Or Unnecessary Father ⭐ Biological And Neurological Changes In Active Fatherhood ⭐ How Prejudice And Bias Shape Legal Outcomes ⭐ Weaponising Allegations Against Fathers In Family Court ⭐ Children's Long-Term Psychological Impact From Parental Alienation ⭐ The Empathy Gap Toward Men's Emotional Experiences ⭐ Why School Systems Fail To Support Boys Equally ⭐ Class, Culture, And Race In Fatherhood Stereotypes ⭐ Challenging The Traditional Masculinity Through Vulnerability And Involvement ⭐ Reframing Men's Issues As Human, Not Just Gendered Problems   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect With Ben Hine:    Separating Better App by OnePlusOne -https://www.oneplusone.org.uk/news/separating-better-the-story-so-far

The recent general decline of new local COVID hospitalizations continues, while the death count rolls steady. Texas hospitals are now caring for almost 300 pediatric COVID patients, drawing a plea from doctors for Governor Abbott to lift his ban on mask mandates, but Abbott's office is unmoved. Williamson County hits a new record for daily new COVID cases.

The City of Austin has announced two locations for proposed, city-run homeless camps.The first preliminary site is a three-acre lot at 3511 Manor Road, just east of Airport Road. The second is a larger lot in southwest Austin at 4011 Convict Hill Road, directly off MoPac.The locations are far from final. There will be a city council work session to discuss the two sites next Tuesday, July 27. Then public feedback will be welcomed in August through community meetings and surveys via SpeakUp Austin!Each location was selected for temporary two-year use and was chosen for its proximity to public transportation, access to basic retail services and the likelihood wildfire risk can be mitigated.The site on Manor Road also benefits from having effective traffic control, can accommodate larger vehicles, has existing utility infrastructure, fencing and covered parking.Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.Support the show (https://buymeacoff.ee/seattlepodcast)

Aralyn has appeared on numerous television shows on the local and national level as an ambassador of what makes Austin such a great place to live. Aralyn is one of Austin's favorite “Keep Austin Weird” characters, featured on HGTV, Discovery Channel, both national and local CBS networks, various radio stations, and local venues like Zachary Scott Theater. She is co-author of IN THE WEST, one of the longest running monologue shows in Austin, which also played the Kennedy Center and was later adapted into the movie DEEP IN THE HEART. Aralyn became a performance artist, storyteller and non fiction monologist in her sixties.  She performed eight original pieces in her series “Aralyn's Home Economics” and was then accepted to perform her newest show in NYC at the International Solo Theater Fetival in Nov 2013. Aralyn recently completed her first book, an anthology about child-free women who came of age in the 1960s. KID ME NOT features stories of women who made the decision to not have children.  They were the first generation of women to have truly had a choice, due to the advent of the birth control pill.

There was a time when I-35 through Central Texas was enough to accommodate the traffic that used it, but those days are long gone. Today, because of the explosive growth along I-35, particularly in the greater San Antonio, Austin and Round Rock areas, traffic is more likely to be crawling than humming, leaving motorists and freight carriers alike frustrated. Enter TxDOT's Central Texas Turnpike system, which includes MoPac, SH 45 and SH 130 toll roads that provide a relief route, and with those routes, a way out of the perpetual traffic snarls on I-35. The next step, though, is as much a step forward as it is out of the box. The SH 130 Concession Company, at its own expense in return for future toll revenues, is building and is set to open another segment of the toll road in November. For more, I spoke with Chris Lippincott with the SH 130 Concession Company.
