The Grunds of Peru, Indiana were a couple people just couldn't help but notice. Susan was a glamorous younger wife, Jim a high-powered atty. Together they made a dashing couple and had all the trappings of wealth: a beautiful home, fancy trips, a Cessna airplane, designer duds and the best that money could buy. But behind closed doors the marriage was threatened by infidelity, financial arguments and one member of the couple's dark secrets.Sources:1. Clarkson, Wensley. Deadly Seduction.

Dr. Gary Frazier is founder and president of Discovery Missions International, an equipping ministry to fulfill the Great Commission. He's a former pastor, a respected preacher on Bible prophecy, and the author of 15 books. All across the country the expansion of Islam is taking place with many communities in dispute about granting authority for the building or expansion of mosques and Islamic Centers. Online reports indicate a 31% increase in the number of mosques in the U.S. since 2010. The states with the heaviest concentration are New York, California and Texas. One of the most recent battles was in McKinney, Texas, where just a couple weeks ago the city council unanimously voted to approve a site plan for a new three-building Islamic Association campus. The community is at odds over this as a recall petition drive is taking hold, recalling these public officials. Gary has looked at what is happening in Texas and across the nation and has called it an Islamic invasion. So don't miss your opportunity to review this broadcast as Gary explains why Islam is growing so rapidly in America, the true goal of the movement, the concept of love and the Qur'an, a stunning testimony from a Sharia survivor, why Islam will never dominate the world, and so much more.

Hi Parents! Have you ever felt hurt, rejected, or frustrated when your teen pulls away, shuts down, or doesn't seem interested in talking?  In today's episode, I'm joined by Diane Sorensen, a certified transformational life coach, former educator, and creator of the Chaos to Connection podcast. Diane brings more than three decades of experience supporting children and families, along with powerful personal insights from navigating her own daughter's mental health challenges. Together, we explore one of the biggest struggles many parents face: how to stay connected to an anxious teen when they seem resistant to connection. Diane shares why teens often need something very different from what parents assume, and why trying harder to connect can sometimes create more distance. We also discuss why parents frequently personalize their teen's withdrawal, what resistance and emotional shutdown may actually be communicating, and how our own childhood experiences and parenting patterns can influence the way we respond. Diane offers practical guidance for staying grounded during difficult moments, building trust over time, and creating a relationship where teens feel safe enough to come to you when they need support. If you've ever wondered how to maintain a strong connection with your teen without forcing conversations, fixing problems, or taking their behaviour personally, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and actionable tools you can start using right away. NEW: My 6-week parent program, The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™, is now open! If you're raising an anxious teen and feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or exhausted by the constant worry, this program will help you feel more calm, confident, and equipped with practical tools that actually work.

Enjoy this descent into the heartspace where Krishna Das connects us to our true nature of pure awareness and unity with God. This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das explores:Different translations of the Ramayana Bhakti and repetition of the name as one of the easiest paths to follow Descending deeply into the mind and heartHow Maharaj-ji instructed Krishna Das to wear red Union with god alongside worldly enjoymentsRemembering to orient ourselves to our true nature Watching the breath, separating breathing from awareness of breathing “The eye receives information from the outside world. But, the eye has no consciousness—it's a physical thing. What has consciousness is our true nature, which is aware of all the sense input that comes in. Who we truly are underneath all our thoughts, emotions, objects of experience, we are that awareness.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time.

One of the characteristics of our culture today is that of violence. All over our nation and the world, many have been impacted by mass shootings, knifings, physical assault and sexual assault, car jackings, teen takeovers and domestic violence. Amidst such times it behooves us to be alert. It's not about being fearful as we go out the door each day, but are there precautions you can take to stay safe or to induce a climate of safety? How should we respond in such times? Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this issue was Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He is an author of several books primarily related to Bible prophecy. He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of acting sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement. The broadcast began with Dr. Schmidt citing some astounding statistics. 7,618 homicides have taken place in America just since January. The injury total from these homicides 14,245. Up until yesterday there have been 278 mass shootings based on four or more people having been injured or killed. Keep in mind, this is just gun violence as we must remember that violence also takes place in numerous other ways as well. So when it comes to violence, in addition to the categories already listed, are there any special precautions that women should take? What about church gatherings, active shooters or road rage?

Hi Parents! Today's episode is such an important conversation because we're exploring something that often gets misunderstood in conversations around teens, anxiety, and food. I'm joined by Stephanie Mara, a Somatic Nutritional Counsellor, somatic psychotherapist, and the creator of Somatic Eating®, a therapeutic approach that combines nervous system science, trauma work, attachment, and nutrition. Stephanie's work helps people understand that food behaviours are often not about willpower, discipline, or “bad habits,” but are actually the body's attempt to create safety, regulation, and comfort. We talk about the connection between attachment styles and eating behaviours and how a teen's relationship with food is often deeply connected to emotional safety, stress, anxiety, and nervous system regulation. Stephanie explains how food can sometimes become a substitute for connection when emotional needs feel uncertain or unmet, and why healing a relationship with food often requires looking beyond the surface behaviour itself. We also discuss how anxiety and nervous system dysregulation can show up through emotional eating, food restriction, body image struggles, or fixation around eating patterns. Stephanie shares how parents can begin approaching these behaviours with more curiosity and compassion instead of fear or control. This episode is a powerful reminder that food behaviours are rarely just about food, and that understanding the nervous system and emotional attachment can completely shift the way we support our teens.

Hi Parents! Do you feel like every boundary in your home turns into a power struggle? Maybe your teen argues about curfew, avoids homework, pushes back on phone limits, or seems to resist every expectation you set. It can leave you wondering whether you're being too strict, too lenient, or simply getting it all wrong. The truth is, the problem often isn't the boundary itself - it's how that boundary is being experienced by your teen's nervous system. When anxiety is present, even well-intentioned rules can feel overwhelming or controlling, leading to resistance, shutdown, avoidance, or secrecy. But with a few intentional shifts, boundaries can become a source of safety instead of conflict. In this episode, we're exploring the difference between control and structure, why anxious teens often push back, and how calm, collaborative communication can reduce power struggles while strengthening your relationship. And if today's conversation resonated with you, and you're ready to move beyond simply understanding anxiety and start responding with greater confidence, I'd love to invite you into The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™. In just six weeks, you'll go from feeling overwhelmed, reactive, and unsure of what to do to feeling calm, capable, and confident in how you support your teen. You'll learn not only what to do when anxiety shows up, but why it works, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start leading with clarity. Inside the program, I'll guide you through my signature 3A Pathway™ Framework - Awareness, Action, and Anchoring - a step-by-step approach that helps you better understand anxiety, respond effectively in the moments that matter most, and create a calmer, more connected home environment. This program was created for parents who are exhausted from feeling like they're doing everything wrong, watching anxiety dictate family life, and worrying about the next meltdown, shutdown, or emotional outburst. It's for parents who want to stop reacting out of fear, reconnect with their teen, and finally feel like they have a plan they can trust. Your teen doesn't need you to have all the answers or to parent perfectly. They need you to feel steady, equipped, and confident. And that's exactly what this program is designed to help you become. If you're ready to rebuild connection, bring more peace into your home, and learn practical tools that create lasting change, you can learn more about The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™ here.

Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues, serving as the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies. They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States. He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets. Jim regularly receives an email from the Department of Homeland Security with a listing of the arrests of what they call the Worst of the Worst. Nonetheless, officers serving under ICE are regularly being vilified by the media, community activists and by politicians, without regard for the magnitude of the work they are doing to make America safe. For example, when ICE shoots a person who is attempting to ram them with their vehicle, these same groups become unglued, yet stay silent when a person who is here illegally kills others on the roadways or rapes an innocent individual. So while the Iran war has dominated the news cycle in recent months, the issue of illegal immigration is still a hot-button one. Join Jim as he has Mark bring you up-to-date on the many facets that are part of this topic. For example, what's the latest concerning ICE and their use of masks and traffic stops, expedited removals by DHS, the birthright citizenship debate, non-citizen voting, should there be more worksite immigrant enforcement, the cost of illegal immigration to our nation, and more.

Hi Parents! In today's episode, I'm joined by Monica Packer, host of the About Progress podcast, certified habits and identity coach, and author of Sticky Habits: A Woman's Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last. Monica shares powerful insight into how perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking show up in both teens and adults, and why this mindset often fuels anxiety, avoidance, and emotional overwhelm. We talk about what she calls the “Hidden Habit Saboteur” and how it quietly impacts motivation, confidence, and follow-through in teens who feel like anything less than perfect is failure.  We also explore how parents can shift the way they respond to mistakes, grades, and setbacks by helping teens see them as part of growth rather than evidence of failure. Monica shares practical ways to model progress over perfection at home so teens can build confidence through lived experience, not pressure. If you've ever watched your teen shut down because something felt too overwhelming or avoid trying altogether because they were afraid of not doing it right, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding what's really going on underneath the behaviour. NEW: My 6-week parent program, The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™, is now open! If you're raising an anxious teen and feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or exhausted by the constant worry, this program will help you feel more calm, confident, and equipped with practical tools that actually work.

Hi Parents! When your teen feels like they have no friends, it can be heartbreaking to watch and even harder to know how to help. In this episode, I sit down with Sheri Gazitt, friendship expert and founder of Teen Wise, to talk about how parents can support their teen through loneliness without adding pressure or making the situation worse. We explore the important difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how loneliness can begin to shape your teen's thoughts, confidence, and self-perception. Sheri shares why trying to fix the problem quickly or pushing friendships too soon can backfire, and what it looks like to take a more supportive, skill-building approach instead. We also talk about small, realistic steps teens can take to begin building connections, even when they feel unsure or hesitant, and how parents can guide them without taking over. If you've been worried about your teen's social life or wondering how to help when they feel left out or disconnected, this episode will give you practical tools and a new perspective on how to support them.

Hi Parents! Helping your teen choose a career path can feel like a lot of pressure, especially when you just want them to be successful, secure, and happy. But what if some of the ways we try to help are making them feel more anxious and stuck? In this episode, I sit down with Miriam Groom, Career Therapist and founder of Mindful Career, to talk about the biggest mistake parents make when guiding their teens through career decisions. We explore why so many teens feel overwhelmed when thinking about their future, and how pressure to choose the “right” or “safe” path can disconnect them from who they truly are. Miriam shares how personality, values, and self-awareness play a critical role in career alignment, and why overlooking these factors can lead to confusion, avoidance, or lack of motivation. We also talk about how to recognize whether your teen is genuinely feeling lost versus appearing unmotivated, and what parents can do differently to support them without adding pressure. If you've ever found yourself worrying about your teen's future or unsure how to guide them, this episode will give you practical, grounded strategies to help them move forward with more clarity and confidence. NEW: My 6-week parent program, The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™, is now open! If you're raising an anxious teen and feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or exhausted by the constant worry, this program will help you feel more calm, confident, and equipped with practical tools that actually work.

Hi Parents! What if the most powerful way to help your anxious teen wasn't about fixing them, but learning how to support them differently? In this solo episode, I'm talking about why having the right tools as a parent can completely change the way your teen experiences anxiety and why your awareness, emotional regulation, and responses matter more than you may realize. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck in constant worry, or unsure how to help your teen without making things worse, this episode is for you. I dive into the hidden ways anxiety can take over the family dynamic, how parents often unintentionally reinforce anxiety out of love and protection, and why becoming a calmer, more confident support system can make such a powerful impact on your teen's emotional well-being.

Hi Parents! Preparing your teen for college goes far beyond academics, especially if they struggle with anxiety, executive functioning, or are neurodivergent. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tara Williams, executive functioning coach and professor, to talk about how parents can support their teens in building the real-life skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. From time management and organization to emotional regulation and independence, we unpack what true college readiness actually looks like.

Dr. Tara shares practical, realistic ways to start building these skills at home, especially for anxious or neurodivergent teens who may need more guidance and support. Whether your teen is a few years away from college or already starting to think about the transition, this episode will give you tools to help them become more independent, confident and prepared for what's next, without adding more pressure or overwhelm.

Hi Parents! Raising teens in today's world can feel overwhelming, especially when stress, burnout, and mental health challenges seem more common than ever. Many parents are doing their best to support their teens, but aren't always sure what actually helps - or how their own stress may be influencing the dynamic at home. In this episode, Dr. Jerry Weichman, clinical psychologist and adolescent specialist with nearly three decades of experience, shares what he's learned from working with thousands of families navigating these exact challenges. His approach focuses on empowering parents with practical tools and strategies that support both teen mental health and the overall well-being of the family. The conversation explores how resilience is not just something we teach our teens, but something we model through our own behaviours, reactions, and mindset. Dr. Weichman breaks down how everyday family interactions can either support or strain a teen's mental health, and how small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference over time. We also dive into the early signs of stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm in teens, along with realistic ways to respond that don't add more pressure. From building healthier routines to shifting how we approach challenges as a family, this episode offers a grounded, actionable perspective for parents who want to raise resilient, emotionally healthy teens.

Life is under attack on many fronts. It's being attacked in the womb, it's being attacked in the sunset years and even those who don't measure up to other people's standards due to some form of disability are also coming under attack. God is the Author of life. We are told in Psalm 139 that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." In Jeremiah 1 we see it is God that has formed us. In Proverbs 6 we're told that the LORD hates the "hands that shed innocent blood" yet we are living in a society that has rejected God. The number of babies being killed by abortion including use of the abortion pill is escalating. Children in the womb are being killed due to a disability. At the other end of the spectrum, just recently a man in Canada screamed for help during a botched euthanasia. We live in a very barbaric society with the nod and approval of many in the political arena, the judicial realm, the entertainment industry and increasingly in the religious realm as well. It is an imperative that we must stand for life! Joining us to discuss these issues is Victor Nieves. Victor is President of the Life Issues Institute which was founded in 1991 to serve the educational needs of the pro-life movement. Victor has had a pro-life passion from a young age while working in state House and Senate campaigns in Missouri. He has a degree in Political Science with a dual focus on American government and Constitutional law. More Information: lifeissues.org

Hi Parents! Teens today are under more pressure than ever, and for many, that pressure turns inward as self-criticism, doubt, and negative self-talk. Learning how to support them through those moments, without trying to fix or dismiss their feelings, can make all the difference in how they see themselves and navigate challenges. In this episode, Dr. Dravon James, transformation specialist, author, and founder of Everyday Peace, shares how parents can help their teens build confidence, develop a stronger sense of self, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner peace. Drawing from her decades of experience in leadership, coaching, and personal transformation, she offers a powerful perspective on how self-awareness, forgiveness, and mindset shifts can support emotional well-being in teens. The conversation explores how self-criticism shows up in teens, how parents can guide them toward more compassionate thinking, and why helping teens recognize their own strengths is key to building resilience. Dr. Dravon also introduces the idea that peace isn't something we have to find outside of ourselves, it's something we can learn to access and model for our children every day. For parents who want to help their teens move from self-doubt to self-trust, and from pressure to peace, this episode offers meaningful insights and practical ways to support that journey.

Krishna Das reflects on Maharaj-ji's teaching that all names, forms, and journeys lead to the same truth.This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das talks about:Neem Karoli's teaching: Sub Ek (all one)Following the heart and our own individual path to GodA dream message that Krishna Das had from Maharaj-jiDeveloping communication skills for improved relationshipsHow being hard on ourselves makes it difficult to offer compassion to othersPutting effort into daily practice Living with ease and being with all experiences, good and bad“Maharaj-ji said one thing to us that was life-changing: sub ek. All one. Many names, many forms, many paths, all one. Different cultures call it by different names, they conceive of it differently, but underneath the thoughts it's all the same…What Jesus realized is the same thing that the yogis in India realized, that the Zen Buddhists, Sufis, Muslims realized. They don't get stuck in the difference of the forms. It's just names; they're all the names of the same thing which is our own true nature.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time.

Hi Parents! In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Erica Rozmid, a board-certified clinical psychologist and expert in evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, to explore the impact of social media and screen time on teen mental health. Together, we dive into the growing concern of doomscrolling and how constant exposure to negative content, comparison, and information overload can contribute to anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and low mood in teens. Dr. Rozmid introduces the powerful concept of shifting from “tech monitoring” to “tech mentoring,” helping parents move beyond simply limiting screen time and instead guide their teens toward healthier, more mindful technology use. We explore how parents can recognize when social media use is becoming problematic, what warning signs to look for, and how to support teens in breaking the cycle of excessive scrolling without creating power struggles. This conversation also highlights the importance of modelling healthy digital habits as parents and creating a home environment where technology supports well-being rather than undermines it. If you're feeling concerned about your teen's relationship with screens, social media, or their mental health, this episode offers practical tools, expert insights, and a more connected, supportive approach to navigating the digital world together.

Hi Parents! Why do some teens stay focused and push through challenges while others seem completely unmotivated? In this episode, I sit down with executive functioning coach, teacher, and championship-winning athletic coach Tom Mandile to explore what is really going on when teens struggle with motivation, focus, and follow-through. With more than 20 years of experience working with students, athletes, and families, Tom shares how the same mental systems that help athletes perform under pressure can also help teens succeed in school, relationships, and everyday life. We talk about why what looks like a motivation problem is often actually a systems problem, and how developing executive functioning skills like time management, impulse control, and goal alignment can dramatically improve a teen's ability to stay focused and build confidence. In this conversation, you'll learn why structure often works better than willpower, how parents can support teens after setbacks, and simple strategies families can use to help teens build resilience, discipline, and independence. If you've ever wondered how to motivate your teen or help them stay focused when life feels overwhelming, this episode offers practical insights and tools you can start using right away.

Hi Parents! This is my 100th episode and I can't believe I'm here! In this milestone episode, I reflect on the journey behind the podcast from the fear I had when I first started, to the vulnerability of putting my voice out into the world, and the moments I genuinely questioned whether I should continue. I share why I originally started podcasting, how I moved away from short-form content into long-form conversations, and what shifted when I realized how powerful this platform could be for truly connecting with parents navigating teen anxiety. One of the biggest themes that continues to come up is how much teens learn from the way you show up as parents - how you respond to stress, how you regulate yourself, and how deeply they are influenced by your emotional patterns. To celebrate 100 episodes, I also introduce my 8-week program for parents of anxious teens, The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™ created to help you go from feeling overwhelmed and unsure… to calm, confident, and equipped with the exact tools and language to support your child through anxiety. This episode is a celebration of growth, courage, consistency, and every single listener who has been part of this journey with me.

Pastor Ken Keltner is Senior pastor of Brookside Baptist Church, Brookfield, WI. He's the speaker on The Word for Life radio broadcast which airs on WVCY. In James 1:2-3 it says, "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." The word "temptations" in this context is referring to testing or trials. It's a word we really don't like to hear. This passage indicates that the trying of our faith builds patience or endurance in us. Many times we read this quickly and we may talk about its meaning in application to others, but what about when the trials and tests hit you? What is your response when these trials all of a sudden seem to come from nowhere? You wonder, why is this happening to me? What have I done wrong? Do we really count it all joy when we go through such times? How do we respond? It's often said such trials can turn us bitter or better. So listen to this Crosstalk and find out how Pastor Keltner responded as he walks listeners through what occurred during events leading up to and beyond March 16, 2026. That's the day that Pastor Ken's wife Kathy went home to be with the Lord after battling Glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer. They were married over 42 years and amidst the extreme heartache, the Lord has shown himself faithful and is very much at work.

Hi Parents! Today we're diving into an important and often uncomfortable topic, but one that matters deeply for the way our kids grow up to understand relationships, respect, and accountability. I'm joined by Liz Ortenburger, the CEO of SafeNest, Nevada's largest and most comprehensive nonprofit addressing domestic and sexual violence. Liz has spent more than two decades working to protect women and children and to challenge the way communities respond to abuse. Through her leadership at SafeNest, she oversees programs that provide emergency support, prevention education, housing, legal advocacy, and intervention services designed to disrupt cycles of violence before they continue into the next generation. In this episode, we talk about the powerful role parents play in shaping how boys understand respect, responsibility, and relationships with others. Liz shares why prevention starts long before adulthood and how the messages kids absorb at home, both spoken and unspoken, can shape how they treat others later in life. We also discuss how witnessing unhealthy relationship dynamics can impact children emotionally and behaviourally, even when those patterns are subtle. Liz explains why raising boys who hold themselves and others accountable is such an important part of preventing violence and creating safer communities. Throughout our conversation, Liz offers practical insights for parents who want to model empathy, accountability, and respect in their own homes while also having honest conversations with their teens about boundaries, consent, and healthy relationships. This episode is a powerful reminder that the way we talk about respect, conflict, and accountability at home plays a major role in the relationships our children will build in the future.

Hi Moms! Motherhood brings so much love and for many moms, it also brings a level of worry and pressure they never expected. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Terri Bacow, a New York-based therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through major life transitions, especially moms navigating stress and anxiety. Terri and I talk honestly about why motherhood can heighten anxiety, even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. We explore the mental load moms carry, the guilt that creeps in when expectations feel impossibly high, and how constant worry can slowly take away joy and presence. Terri shares how anxiety often shows up as second-guessing, irritability, sleepless nights, and feeling like you're never doing enough - no matter how hard you try. We also dive into how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help moms understand and interrupt anxious thought patterns instead of getting stuck in them. Terri explains CBT in a very practical, approachable way and offers insight into how small mindset shifts can make a big difference in how moms feel day to day. If you're a mom who feels overwhelmed, on edge, or quietly struggling with anxiety, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone. Support is possible, and change doesn't have to feel so heavy.

In this episode of Tendrils of Grief, I sit down with Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards to explore how grief doesn't just affect our emotions—it shapes our relationships, our behaviors, and the patterns we carry forward in life. We talk about how loss can influence the way we connect with others, the unconscious patterns that show up after grief, and why so many of us find ourselves repeating the same emotional cycles without fully understanding why. Dr. Edwards brings a deeper psychological perspective to grief, helping unpack how our past experiences, attachments, and internal narratives influence the way we process loss and navigate relationships moving forward. This conversation goes beyond surface-level grief. It looks at what grief reveals about us—how it exposes patterns, challenges our identity, and pushes us to confront parts of ourselves we may not have fully seen before. We also explore how awareness is the first step toward change. Because when we begin to understand our patterns, we can start to shift them—and create healthier, more intentional relationships in our lives. This episode is about grief, self-awareness, and growth—and the opportunity to not just survive loss, but to understand what it's trying to teach us.    

In this extended Q&A special, Krishna Das offers powerful insights on navigating the turmoil of the human experience through devotional practice.This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das offers down-to-earth advice on:The name of God as an echo of our own beingTuning ourselves into the mantra Replacing greed and anxiety with compassion and kindnessThe delusion of self and otherDepression and falling into the trap of self-obsessionBuilding up the strength to let go through daily practice Coming back home to ourselves, to our breathThe lingering connection we have to those we have lostLooking for love within ourselves instead of outside ourselves"Depression expresses itself in many different ways. In general, through regular practice, we obsess about ourselves less and less. Over time, how we feel retreats into the background. It's no longer the most important thing in your life. You wake up ‘How am I now? How am I now?'. All day long, all life long, we are always judging how we feel. As time goes on, you don't give a shit about your state of mind anymore. You're here now, which is where we are.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time.

Hi Parents! If you've ever wondered why traditional discipline seems to make things worse for your anxious teen, this episode will help you see their behaviour through a completely different lens. In today's conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Ross Greene, a clinical psychologist and the creator of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model. Ross has spent decades working with children who struggle with anxiety, explosive behaviour, school refusal, and emotional regulation, and his work challenges the idea that kids misbehave because they don't want to do better. Instead, he reminds us that kids do well if they can. We talk about the growing mental health crisis among kids and teens and why so many young people are overwhelmed right now. Ross explains how adults are often taught to focus on behaviours rather than the problems underneath them, and why this approach unintentionally escalates anxiety and power struggles. We also explore why punishment, rewards, and consequences don't create lasting change for anxious kids and what accountability looks like when collaboration is at the centre. This episode is especially helpful for parents who feel exhausted, confused, or discouraged and are looking for a more compassionate, effective way to support their teen. Ross offers practical insight into how small mindset shifts can change how we respond in hard moments and how working with our kids instead of against them builds trust, safety, and long-term skills.

Hi Parents! In this episode, I'm joined by Carrie Bonnett, a veteran teacher and Executive Function coach who works with students and families around the country using a brain-first, no-shame approach. Carrie brings decades of experience supporting kids, parents, and educators, and she's passionate about helping teens thrive by understanding how their brains actually work. During our conversation, we dig into what executive function really means and why it plays such a significant role in anxiety and procrastination for teens. We talk about why so many anxious teens struggle to get started even when they care deeply about school and responsibilities, and how anxiety can interfere with planning, organization, and task initiation. Carrie helps reframe procrastination as a brain-based challenge rather than a character flaw and shares practical ways parents can reduce overwhelm, support motivation, and move away from constant reminders and power struggles. We also explore why traditional tools like to-do lists don't always work for teens and how parents can shift their approach to better match their child's brain. This episode is especially helpful for parents who feel stuck in nightly homework battles or worry about their teen's independence and confidence. 

Traditional Thomists are normally unfriendly to Henri De Lubac, but today's guest, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy points out that Thomists are very indebted to De Lubac and should join him on the battlefield.   Fr. Cajetan Cuddy is a Dominican priest, scholar, and Youtuber who recently presented at the De Lubac conference hosted by the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and the Family. He joins us today to talk about De Lubac and his critical insight into the rise of constructive atheism. Fr. Cuddy and Ben Eriksen talk about De Lubac's response to this new threat to the human person. They also discuss the tendency of academics and intellectuals to focus too exclusively on the academic end of writing and researching while ignoring the search for truth and God who is much more than an intellectual principle. Their conversation not only provides insights into our modern culture but also demonstrates the crucial overlap between intellectual inquiry and one's lived experience.   Get your copy of De Lubac's works here: https://ignatius.com/authors/henri-de-lubac/ More Information on the De Lubac Film here: https://delubacfilm.com/   Check out these great resources!

Hi Parents! Anxiety in teens doesn't always look like worry or fear. For many families, it shows up as avoidance, irritability, emotional shutdown, or behaviours that are often misread as defiance or lack of motivation. Today I'm joined by Dr. Tracey Marks, a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in helping people build healthier responses to stress through neuroscience-based tools. Dr. Marks explains why the teenage brain under stress often moves into protection mode, making it harder for teens to communicate, focus, or engage. Tracey also breaks down the overlap between anxiety, ADHD traits, and stress behaviours, helping parents understand why labels alone don't tell the full story. Together, we discuss common ways well-meaning parents accidentally escalate anxiety, how parents can respond differently in heated or withdrawn moments, and why a parent's own emotional regulation plays a critical role in helping teens feel safe and supported. Parents will leave this episode with a clearer lens for interpreting their teen's behaviour, practical tools to use in real-life moments, and reassurance that supporting an anxious teen is not about fixing them, but about creating safety, understanding, and connection.

Hi Parents! In this episode, I'm joined by Cathy Cassani Adams, LCSW - therapist, author, educator, and co-host of the Zen Pop podcast, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to help girls build a strong sense of self. So often, we focus on confidence and achievement, but confidence alone doesn't protect our girls from anxiety, self-doubt, or people-pleasing. Today, Cathy and I talk about the difference between confidence and a true sense of self, and why so many girls struggle when they learn to look outside themselves for approval instead of trusting their inner voice. We explore the subtle, well-intentioned ways adults can unintentionally undermine a girl's sense of self, how anxiety can show up when girls feel disconnected from who they are, and what it looks like to support girls without trying to fix or control their emotions. Cathy shares insights from her years of clinical work, teaching, and parenting, offering parents a compassionate and realistic lens for raising girls in today's high-pressure world. This conversation is especially for parents who want to raise girls who feel grounded, emotionally safe, and secure in who they are - not just confident on the outside, but deeply connected to themselves on the inside.

About Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDas"Our emotions are like clouds. We can't see the sun when we're stuck in our emotions. But has the sun gone anywhere? Have we gone anywhere? It is our minds that create the suffering and our minds that liberate us from suffering. You will always be right here where you are every minute. So how do we free ourselves? Practice. It's not about being high, having bliss or love all the time; it's about dealing with what's here. We can always start again." –Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Zohran Mamdani's plan to fix New York City's budget crisis involves pressuring Albany to soak the rich with higher income taxes on millionaires and bigger levies on profitable corporations, claiming it's the "fairest" way to avoid hurting working families. If state leaders refuse, he threatens a massive 9.5% city property tax hike as a backup, which would slam homeowners, co-op residents, and middle-class New Yorkers. This ultimatum-style approach is designed to force higher taxes on the wealthy by holding property owners hostage.
