Her mother passed away unexpectedly after years of health issues. There was no final goodbye — just a phone call and a lingering guilt over one small decision that can't be undone.Months later, on her mother's birthday — the first one without her — she woke up missing her more than usual. That morning, she reached into the pocket of a coat she had worn many times since the funeral.Inside was a folded grocery list in her mother's handwriting.What unsettled her was what was written at the bottom — and the timing of when she found it. Coincidence feels logical. But the moment felt anything but accidental.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #AfterDeathCommunication #SignsFromBeyond #SpiritVisitation #LifeAfterDeath #UnexplainedTiming #MessagesFromTheOtherSide #GriefAndGhosts #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStory Love real ghost stories?

In this episode, we dive into a topic that resonates deeply with working mums: the invisible burden of the mental load and the necessity of establishing healthy boundaries. Studies show women spend an average of 4.5 hours per day on unpaid work compared to 2.5 hours for men, leading to stress and burnout. "A mother's brain makes over 1000 micro decision daily. There is no job in the world harder on the human brain, not a surgeon, not a politician, not a lawyer. Mothering is the only job where the brain never clocks out, even when asleep." shares Fiorenza.Fiorenza explores practical strategies to help you reduce this burden, establish boundaries, and create vital space for self-care and creativity.Key topics explored:* Defining Mental Load (02:15): It's the invisible burden of planning, organising, and remembering tasks (from school bags to household chores). It includes the constant thinking and worrying, on top of the execution of the tasks.* The Mother's Brain: Fiorenza shares a powerful post from Anna Whitehouse (Mother Puka) (03:42), citing UCL research that a mother's brain makes over 1000 micro-decisions daily, making it a 24/7 job that never clocks out.* Sharing the Load - The Big 3 Activity (06:06): A quick exercise inviting you to list the 3 tasks that weigh most heavily on your mind and brainstorm ways to share those responsibilities with your partner or family.* Practical Strategies for Mental Load Reduction (07:00):* Communication & Systems: Surfacing invisible tasks and having open conversations with your partner.* Fair Play Card System: A playful, powerful tool to make the mental load visible and decide who holds which responsibilities. This is a topic from a previous podcast episode with Sam Kennedy Christian.* Scheduled Check-ins: Conversations should not be a one-off; schedule check-ins to ensure responsibilities remain evenly distributed.* Establishing Boundaries (08:07):* Workday Buffer: Create a small buffer (10-15 minutes) at the start and end of your workday to transition smoothly between home mode and work mode.* Communicate & Prioritise: Be clear about your availability, communicate your time commitments, and practice saying no to tasks that don't align with your priorities.* Self-Care & Creative Activities (11:51):* Separate Self-Care from Creativity: Self-care is about looking after your body and mind (e.g., nutritious food, physical activity like yoga/pilates). Creative activities (e.g., sewing, which Fiorenza enjoys) are for engaging in flow states that boost mental health and often generate ideas for other areas of life/work.* Prioritise Time: Acknowledge that finding time for creative activities often involves a trade-off, especially on weekends, but keep it on your radar and don't be afraid to try something new.* Societal influences, Gender Roles and Expression: * A study on ScienceDirect suggests that the expression of traditional gender roles (identifying as femme) can influence who takes on more of the mental load at home: not surprisingly, cultural norms often position mothers as the default caregiver.* Advocacy for policies like shared parental leave helps reduce the gender gap in unpaid work.* Fostering Belonging: Celebrate small wins, practice self-compassion, and connect with other mums to feel less alone. Community plays a crucial role.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review!About your host Fiorenza RossiniFiorenza started building her coaching business in 2016 while still working in investment banking. When her first child was born in 2019, she knew something had to give. Like many parents, she realised she couldn't keep growing her career in the same way while also being the parent she wanted to be. Her priorities became clearer, and she chose to leave corporate life to focus fully on her coaching work. Today, Fiorenza supports driven professionals & leaders who are also parents of young children, who find themselves to be at a pivot point - whether that's returning to work, stepping into leadership, or rethinking what career growth now looks like.

If you've ever sat down to read the Bible and felt distracted, or confused, this episode is for you.On today's episode of Radical Radiance, I'm joined by Bible teacher and self-proclaimed Bible nerd Faith Womack to talk about her refreshing new book, No More Boring Bible Study.Faith brings so much joy, curiosity, and clarity to Scripture, helping us see that God's Word isn't dull, outdated, or inaccessible—it's alive, layered, and deeply relevant to our everyday lives. In this conversation, we talk about why so many believers struggle to stay engaged with the Bible, how understanding context changes everything, and how approaching Scripture with wonder (instead of pressure) can transform our faith.This episode will reignite your love for God's Word and remind you that Bible study isn't about doing more—it's about seeing more.

Julia Vaughan Smith joins me to explore what it really means to be a trauma-aware coach. We unpack the fear many coaches carry of getting it wrong, causing harm, or stepping outside their scope, and how that can undermine confidence. We look at the difference between working with trauma and working on trauma, and why coaching doesn't need to become therapy to be effective. We also explore the shadow sides of both coaching and psychotherapy, the rise of popular approaches like parts work, and how to stay grounded in good practice. Towards the end, we dive into the powerful dynamics between mothers and daughters, trauma entanglement, and how early relationships shape identity and behaviour. Find out more about Julia's work here: www.becomingourselvs.co.uk. ----------------------------------------------- Julia Vaughan Smith is a master accredited coach and supervisor, a retired registered psychotherapist and an author of three books including 'Coaching and Trauma', one of the very few books that deals with this topic and 'Daughters: How to Untangle Yourself from your Mother' which considers the trauma behind difficult and painful daughter/mother relationships and the entanglements that ensure. She has been teaching and talking about coaching and trauma since 2010 and ran Masterclasses with Jenny Rogers on the topic over several years. Other than coaching and psychotherapy, she has had a long and varied career.  ----------------------------------------------- Join our membership program for coaches, facilitators, therapists and educators who want sustainable growth: https://embodimentunlimited.com/flourish/ ----------------------------------------------- Check out our YouTube channel for more coaching tips and our Podcast channel for full episode videos Uplevel your coaching with a free copy of Mark's latest eBook, The Top 12 Embodiment Coaching Techniques  Join Mark for those juicy in-person workshops and events Fancy some free coaching demo sessions with Mark?  Connect with Mark Walsh on Instagram 

In this episode, we perceive the angst and yearning in a mother’s voice, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 203, penned by Kabilar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse resonates with the wishes throbbing in a sorrowful heart. ‘உவக்குநள்ஆயினும், உடலுநள்ஆயினும்,யாய் அறிந்து உணர்க’ என்னார், தீ வாய்அலர் வினை மேவல் அம்பற் பெண்டிர்,‘இன்னள் இனையள், நின் மகள்’ என, பல் நாள்எனக்கு வந்து உரைப்பவும், தனக்கு உரைப்பு அறியேன்,‘நாணுவள் இவள்’ என, நனி கரந்து உறையும்யான் இவ் வறு மனை ஒழிய, தானே,‘அன்னை அறியின், இவண் உறை வாழ்க்கைஎனக்கு எளிது ஆகல் இல்’ என, கழற் கால்மின் ஒளிர் நெடு வேல் இளையோன் முன்னுற,பல் மலை அருஞ் சுரம் போகிய தனக்கு, யான்அன்னேன் அன்மை நன் வாயாக,மான் அதர் மயங்கிய மலைமுதல் சிறு நெறிவெய்து இடையுறாஅது எய்தி, முன்னர்ப்புல்லென் மா மலைப் புலம்பு கொள் சீறூர்,செல் விருந்து ஆற்றி, துச்சில் இருத்த,நுனை குழைத்து அலமரும் நொச்சிமனை கெழு பெண்டு யான் ஆகுகமன்னே! Plenty of talking in this trip to the drylands, as we get to hear the lady’s mother say these words, at the juncture of her daughter’s elopement with the man: “Without thinking, ‘Whether she's going to be happy about it or whether she's going to be angry about it, let her mother learn of it herself!', those back-biting, slanderous women, who love to spread rumours with their cruel mouths, came to me and said, ‘Such is the nature of your daughter', over many, many days. Thinking that, ‘It will make her feel ashamed', I said nothing to my daughter, and kept it well hidden. Leaving me alone in this barren house, thinking, ‘If mother comes to know, the life I've been leading with him will not be possible for me anymore', she has left to the formidable drylands, crossing mountains many, with that young man, wearing warrior anklets and holding a radiant, tall spear, leading ahead. To tell the truth that I'm not such a person who is opposed to her, traversing the small, confusing mountain paths, where beasts roam, without any ruin coming to me, I should go ahead of them, reach the isolated hamlet in that barren, tall mountain, and to make them a fine feast, and let them rest for the night, I should enter that hut, surrounded by chaste trees, whose edges sway with tender sprouts, and become the lady of that household!” Let’s follow along through the scorching spaces and learn more! Mother starts by recollecting what had happened. It all started with the womenfolk of their hamlet, who were known to gossip and spread slander. Without remaining quiet with the thought, ‘When the time comes, let her find it out herself’, they had come to the lady’s mother and spoke about the lady’s relationship with the man. While this was so, mother seems to have refrained from talking about it directly with her daughter, worrying that her girl would feel much shame and distress. While mother was holding back so, the lady seems to have understood that something was amiss. Deciding if mother had indeed come to know of her relationship with the man, then she would forbid it, the lady had left to go far through the drylands, in the company of her lover, the one clad in warrior anklets and holding a shining spear in hand. After this account of what’s happened, mother comes to the present and declares, ‘I’m not opposed to her love and happiness’. ‘To make her understand this, I should somehow rush through those barren mountain paths, without any harm befalling me, and overtake them, and find that isolated mountain village that they would pass through, and going there, I should prepare a feast for the two of them and ensure they have a good rest before they continue their travels. This I can do, if I can somehow transform into the lady of that house, surrounded by chaste trees, with swaying branches of new sprouts’, mother concludes, dreaming! Something that shines so brightly in this verse is the nature of a mother’s heart. No matter how hurt by the actions of her girl, the mother wants the best for her child and all that that that child loves. Epitome of love indeed! Another thought that struck me was that everything that has happened in this instance is because of communication or its absence! Unwanted communication on the part of those gossiping womenfolk, mother not speaking out to her girl when she should have, and the lady, assuming mother was against her, and leaving without a word. A verse that reiterates the importance of speaking the right words to the right person at the right time!

Meet Tarrare, the man whose endless appetite turned him into a walking legend—and a living nightmare for everyone around him.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*Take the Weird Darkness Survey: https://weirddarkness.com/SURVEYIN THIS EPISODE: Tarrare, an 18th-century French showman, could eat enough to feed 15 people and swallow cats whole — but his stomach was never satisfied, even to the point, he was rumored, to consume human flesh. (Tarrare, The Insatiable Glutton) *** A sickly-sweet smell and then burning sensations, nausea, and partial paralysis. It began with one, then many in a small town in Illinois. It was a gas attack – but who was the culprit? Or even stranger – was it in everyone's imaginations? (Who Was The Mad Gasser of Mattoon?) *** A baby begins screaming when her mother moves them into a new apartment. (Mother's Helper) *** “Momo” may sound like a funny name – but it was no laughing matter to Missouri residents trying to track down the huge, black, hairy monster. (The Missouri Monster) *** A veteran claims a pastor was an alien involved in a conspiracy here on Earth, with members of congress, to enslave all humans – and that's why he shot him in the head. (Aliens and Attempted Murder) *** Attention in Puerto Rico has recently turned to a recurring horror – a real life gargoyle attacking and sucking the blood from their chickens. (The Gargoyle of Puerto Rico) *** A hunter suddenly became the hunted of a mysterious creature in Wyoming. (I Faced A Wendigo) *** A man and his family experience strange and terrifying events in their home located next to a meteor crater. (I've Never Told My Story) *** Part bat. Part bigfoot. What has been unfortunately named “Batsquatch” sounds like a B-list villain in a DC comic taking on the Caped Crusader, but for some who live in Washington state near Mt. St. Helens, it's not imaginary at all. (Bizarre Encounters With Batsquatch) *** If you mention gnomes to someone, most think of those tiny ceramic or concrete figurines people place in gardens or on their front doorstep to greet visitors. But in a certain portion of England, if you mention gnomes – you get the real thing. (The Mysterious Gnomes of Wollaton Park) *** We go back to a normal, sunny Tuesday morning in 2001 – when the world changed forever after a terrorist attack on the U.S., left families in despair, a country in fear, and spirits of those lost still wandering ground zero to this day.

There is a new biopic about the founder of the Shakers entitled, The Testament of Ann Lee. If you've heard of the Shakers it is probably because of their furniture. This week the Pugs respond to a critical review of the new film in The Spectator World by Damian Thompson, entitled, Testament to Ignorance. Chris is quoted in the review because of an article he wrote on the Shakers. He has mixed feelings about them, as he explains in the show. But he suspects there is something going on with liberalism in the US and an attempt by liberals to recover their own version of American Christianity and that the biopic is part of a larger effort.

Immediate feelings of shame and failure for not having the delivery she wanted With a December 2020 birth, COVID lockdowns contributed to Jade's mental health struggles. The first symptom Jade noticed was anxiety. Social media was Jade's primary socialization, which led her to feel even more inadequate as a new mom. Getting up the courage to admit to the doctor that she was “not ok.” When asking for help makes you feel like an inconvenience A specific event one night that scared Jade because of intrusive thoughts of harming herself Dealing with the self-imposed pressure to be the perfect mom Help from medications and a doctor who checked in with Jade regularly Even with medication, Jade's struggles continued with intrusive thoughts.  Jade's feelings of losing touch with reality and experiencing hallucinations Treatment in the mother-baby unit Jade's passion for sharing her story and doing advocacy work for those with PPP Hope for the future Jade's message to listeners and those who are suffering: “It's okay to ask for help.” Resources:  Connect with Jade Lloyd: Instagram  Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

In this episode we want to remind you that you were never meant to carry it all.We've learned, more times than we can count, that trying to hold everything together, control every outcome, and analyze every “what if” only leads to exhaustion.Eventually, there comes a moment when you realize you can't do it anymore.And that's often where letting go begins.Letting go isn't giving up.It's choosing to trust the One who already knows and holds it all.So we invite you to ask God what He's inviting you to release, to let go of…and trust Him to take care of it.Music: “River,” an original piano piece written and performed by Benjamin WaggonerWe would like to pray for you.

Janice Allred was excommunicated just over 30 years ago, but still attends the LDS Church!!! Why? She will talk about why she stays, and offer advice to others on how to stay if they want to. We’ll discuss how it affects her family, her testimony, and we’ll even dive into why current polygamy revisionists are getting into trouble with LDS Church leaders. Check out our conversation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O8H-QXlDPw Why I Stay: Three Decades in the Pews as an Excommunicated Member What does it look like to remain dedicated to a faith community that has formally cast you out? For Janice Allred, a “philosophical theologian” who was excommunicated in 1995, the answer is found in showing up every Sunday for over thirty years. Allred, the sister of fellow scholar Margaret Toscano, was disciplined primarily for her writings on “God the Mother“ and her critiques of church authority, yet she remains a fixture in her local ward. Why Stay? When asked the “Sunstone question” of why she stays, Allred's first response is simple: “Because I want to”. Her deeper motivations are rooted in her identity as a follower of Jesus Christ, noting that He encouraged His followers to meet together often to strengthen one another. Furthermore, she feels a profound connection to the revelations of Joseph Smith, including the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants, and wants to worship where those texts are accepted as scripture. From Pariah to Participant The road has not been easy. For the first five to ten years after her excommunication, Allred describes being treated like a “pariah” and was largely ignored by her ward members. She recalls a poignant moment five years in when a fellow ward member simply said “Hello,” and she nearly broke into tears because so few had spoken to her during that time. The turning point was a house fire. While the community struggled to know how to respond to her theological dissent, they knew exactly how to help a family in a physical crisis. Today, she is a regular participant in Sunday school and Relief Society, though she is denied the sacrament, which she describes as the hardest part of her experience. The “Observer” Strategy Allred offers a unique perspective for those struggling with their faith: be an observer. She navigates the tension of hearing things she disagrees with—such as the “adulation” of church leadership or the Proclamation on the Family—by taking a step back and viewing the meetings through a sociological or theological lens. She does not feel the need to agree with everything said from the pulpit to feel that she belongs to the “invisible church” of true followers of Christ. A Different Kind of Fundamentalism Perhaps most surprising is Allred's stance as a “polygamy revisionist.” Through her theological studies, she became convinced that Joseph Smith neither taught nor practiced polygamy, and she views Section 132 as a later forgery or a text contrary to the gospel. While this view challenges the lineage of authority from Brigham Young, she maintains that her primary goal is seeking what is true according to her own conscience and inspiration. Janice Allred's journey is a testament to self-authorship in faith. She remains a “member of the ward” in spirit, even if not on the records, proving that for some, the community of Christ is worth the discomfort of dissent. What do you think of Janice's persistence for 30+ years?

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman begin the book of Exodus and explore the early chapters of Moses's story. From courageous midwives to a compassionate princess, this lesson highlights the quiet faith of women who helped shape the beginning of Israel's redemption story. Through Moses's rescue, his years in the wilderness, and the moment God appears in the burning bush, these chapters reveal a God who turns ordinary places into holy ground. Even in seasons that feel forgotten, silent, or ordinary, God is still working behind the scenes to prepare deliverance. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of waiting, mistakes, or ordinary life, this episode is a reminder that He still sees, He still hears, and He is still working to redeem the story.

Jamie Cashen recounts how, at 15, he became a volunteer firefighter in Joshua, Texas and on Feb. 24, 1984 was trapped in a 2,500-acre grass fire with 18-foot flames and 42-mph winds, burning for 38 seconds after trying to help rescue a stalled water-truck driver; he describes crying out to God, being guided to the last firefighter on scene, and being airlifted to Parkland with 36% third-degree burns. Doctors discussed amputating his fingers, but his paraplegic mother prayed and insisted otherwise. He was transferred to the Shriners Burn Institute, avoided amputation, endured brutal treatment, and later faced social stigma from masks and splints.
