Kenneth Parks committed one of the strangest and most controversial crimes in modern history. In 1987, he drove fourteen miles in the middle of the night to his in-laws home and attacked them, leaving his mother-in-law dead and his father-in-law severely injured. Then, covered in blood, he walked into a police station and confessed.But Parks insisted he had been asleep the entire time. Doctors found no signs of psychosis, only a lifelong pattern of sleepwalking and night terrors. His defense argued that he experienced a violent sleepwalking episode and never woke up during the attack.In a shocking outcome, the jury agreed. Parks was acquitted of murder and walked free, creating one of the most debated legal precedents in Canadian history. He has lived quietly ever since, with no further violence.So what do you think happened that night? A tragic medical mystery or the perfect excuse for murder?

Hey babes! This one is JUICY. Nicole and I are bringing you a full holiday intervention—Coco & Lala style. If you're already feeling the pressure of “doing the holidays right,” this episode is your warm hug, your reality check, and your permission slip to STOP performing and start actually enjoying yourself.
In this episode, host David Mandell welcomes Dr. Paul Lynch, a double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, entrepreneur, and business leader. Dr. Lynch shares his remarkable journey from aspiring psychiatrist to pain medicine innovator—a shift inspired by his mother-in-law's battle with cancer and the discovery of interventional pain treatments that could transform patients' lives. His early experiences at the Mayo Clinic shaped his belief in comprehensive, integrated care—a philosophy that became the foundation for his first practice, Arizona Pain, which quickly became one of the nation's leading pain management centers. Dr. Lynch details how entrepreneurial thinking, coupled with strategic use of digital tools, drove his success. His story of launching a medical website during fellowship—eventually ranking number one on Google before opening his doors—illustrates how physicians can use education-based marketing to reach patients and grow responsibly. As his career evolved, Dr. Lynch founded U.S. Pain Care, intentionally designed to avoid the mistakes of his first venture. Through introspection and what he calls his "Manifesto of 53 Errors," he now builds companies around lessons learned, focusing on empowering other physicians with ownership, autonomy, and ethical profitability. The discussion also delves into real estate, private equity, and long-term business strategy in medicine. Dr. Lynch explains how owning medical real estate can be one of the most impactful and ethical ways for physicians to build wealth—separate from clinical care—highlighting the benefits of property ownership, long-term leasing, and physician-owned REITs. He closes with advice to doctors: never make fortunes "on the backs of patients." Instead, focus on providing excellent care while building wealth through smart business decisions, integrity, and surrounding yourself with expert advisors in law, finance, and real estate.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Wondering if your mother-in-law is just “a lot,” or if you're actually dealing with a truly toxic mother-in-law situation? You are so not the only one lying awake replaying her comments and wondering what to do when this relationship feels way too involved in your marriage and family. In this episode, we're talking about how a toxic mother-in-law dynamic starts to erode your sense of safety at home. Dr. Tracy Dalgleish - clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and author of You, Your Husband and His Mother - joins me to talk honestly about what happens when your partner is still emotionally tied to his mom, you're trying to build a healthy new family, and you keep getting caught in the middle. We look at why some moms struggle to let go, why so many women end up over-functioning for everyone, and why so many men freeze or minimize when it's time to set boundaries with a toxic mother-in-law… and then we talk about what you can do: becoming a united “vault” as a couple, setting real boundaries instead of endless “requests,” and getting clear on your options when the dynamic with your mother-in-law is starting to feel unbearable. Here's how we walk through it together: 00:00 Why Mother-in-Law Conflicts Hurt Communication and Connection 03:14 Dr. Tracy's Story and Why She Wrote “You, Your Husband and His Mother” 05:24 Mother–Son Bonds, Gender Roles, and the Roots of Toxic Mother-in-Law Dynamics 11:03 Unhealthy Family Patterns: Control, Enmeshment, and Emotional Caretaking of Mom 20:56 Overfunctioning Wives, Underfunctioning Husbands, and the Mother–Child Dynamic 24:39 The VAULT Method: Becoming a United Couple and Setting Boundaries with In-Laws 30:48 Requests vs Boundaries: What Really Works with a Toxic Mother-in-Law 51:41 Change, Accept, or Leave: Your Choices in a Toxic Mother-in-Law Situation If this stirs up a very specific conversation with your partner (or a replay of your last holiday with his mom) and your chest tightens a little, I have something for exactly that moment. My Communication That Connects training walks you through the evidence-based do's and don'ts of communication that actually creates understanding instead of more defensiveness and hurt. I'll help you get clear about the real issues under your fights, give you a framework you can start using right away with your partner, and walk you step-by-step through how to have hard conversations in a way that protects your emotional bond instead of tearing it down. And if you're at the point where you're thinking, “I don't want to keep holding this all together by myself,” I would be genuinely honored to support you more directly. At Growing Self, you can privately tell us what's going on with your marriage, your mother-in-law, your family, and we'll help you connect with the right therapist or coach on my team. It's a simple, secure way to raise your hand and say, “Here's what I'm struggling with, please point me to the right person.” You can start that process anytime by scheduling a consultation. You deserve a family life that feels safe, sane, and loving, even if your extended family is… a lot.
Read OnlineAs Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” Matthew 9:27Picture these two men for a moment. Just before this passage, Jesus had cured a leper, healed a Roman centurion's servant, restored Peter's mother-in-law to health, made a paralytic walk, and stopped a woman's years-long hemorrhages. He had cast out demons, freeing people from their oppression, and even raised a twelve-year-old girl from the dead. This context is crucial as we imagine these two blind men crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!”Word was spreading rapidly about Jesus and His miracles. In that time and culture, blindness often led to a life of begging unless family could provide. These men suffered greatly, from both their physical blindness and from the marginalization that accompanied it. Then they began to hear stories—one after another—about this new rabbi, a prophet from David's line, possibly the Messiah everyone awaited. They heard of His miracles and immediately hoped He could heal them too. So when Jesus was passing by, they didn't hesitate.Although physical healings were not Jesus' primary mission, these acts were powerful expressions of His compassion and divine authority. By healing, He brought peace and joy to troubled hearts, but more importantly, He demonstrated that His words carried divine authority. The Gospel of Matthew is arranged so that Jesus' Sermon on the Mount—a summary of His teachings—comes first. Then follows a series of miracles. While these miracles were acts of love for those He cured, they also serve to convince us today to listen to and obey His word.We are called to emulate the faith of these two blind men. We must believe that Jesus is the answer to all our needs, the only one who can heal our souls. We can see their physical blindness as a metaphor for our own spiritual blindness. Just as they cried out for physical healing, we must cry out for spiritual healing.Reflect today on the disposition of these two blind men. Though we know little about them, we do know they cried out to Jesus for mercy and healing. Their prayer must become our prayer; their hope, our hope; their passionate cry, our plea for mercy. The healing they sought is mirrored in the healing we seek today, especially through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is in this sacrament that we find Jesus passing by, where we cry out for mercy and where we are spiritually healed. Let us long for healing from our spiritual blindness and cry out to Jesus with persistence, following Him relentlessly in prayer. He will hear and answer us. My healing Lord, though Your many miracles show Your divine power over nature, demons, and every illness—even death—the greatest healing You offer is the healing of my soul from sin. Please have pity on me, Lord. Heal the spiritual blindness I have so that I may come to know You, follow You, and live according to Your will.

Hey friends! As December begins, I find myself reflecting on the past year, which has been filled with challenges and heartache, including the recent passing of my mother-in-law and the heartbreaking news about our beloved dog, Finn. In this episode, I share my thoughts on navigating tough times without falling into the trap of toxic positivity. I discuss the difference between staying positive and embracing your own power, especially when life feels overwhelming. It's okay not to have everything figured out. We can hold both grief and joy simultaneously. If you're going through a difficult season, this episode gives you permission to be human, to grieve, and to take time for yourself. Sending you all so much love and strength as we close out this year. Remember, you are not alone on this journey. If you're in a season of growth and need a thought partner or are looking for someone to brainstorm ideas with, I have a few spots open for one-on-one coaching.

If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.We're kicking off the festive season with a dilemma that sheds some light on the one family dynamic that doesn't always get the airtime: the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. To help me explore this topic in more depth, I'm joined by Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, a clinical psychologist and relationship expert who has also written a book, You, Your Husband & His Mother.In this week's dilemma, our listener shares her struggle with feeling like a guest in her own Christmas celebrations due to her mother-in-law's controlling nature, and her husband's tendency to revert back into childhood obedience and avoid 'causing drama' at all costs. We discuss the emotional challenges of navigating difficult family dynamics, particularly at this time of year, the importance of setting boundaries and how (and when!) to approach those conversations, and Tracy's 'Vault Method', which helps couples to communicate their values and needs effectively.

Freshly arrived in Devonshire, the Dashwoods are off to dine at Barton Park and meet the rest of their new neighborhood acquaintances. There's Lady Middleton's teasing and slightly vulgar mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennings, and Sir John's quiet friend, Colonel Brandon. Mrs. Jennings, who is fond of pairing people up, is soon convinced that Colonel Brandon is in love with Marianne, but she's having none of it. Colonel Brandon is 35, and Marianne is convinced that at his stage of life, all that's left is infirmity, since he's too old for romance. With their social circle growing, the Dashwoods are settling into their new home, and as they do, let them help you settle into your bed for a night of soft and peaceful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

RIP, Jimmy Cliff, the Jamaican musician has died at the age of 81. When it comes to movie star ratings, Merrill firmly believes five stars is one star too many. Horror comedies are incredibly hard to do well, and Merrill loves campy horror! Music producer Benny Blanco’s mother Sandra Levin was the victim of a home invasion in Studio City, in which she hid in her bathroom as her multimillion-dollar home was broken into. Levin is the mother-in-law of Selena Gomez. When it comes to sleep patterns, we’ve got early birds, night owls or normies. Sleep preference is almost entirely genetically predetermined. It’s evolutionary. Gen Z just loves to rename things that have been around since the beginning of forever. The latest?

You're sitting around waiting for your shot. Someone else is losing sleep because they can't find you. They have a problem only you can solve. A gap only you can fill. But they don't know you exist yet. My mother-in-law taught me this years ago and it changed everything about how I approach opportunity. She didn't let me sit around hoping things would work out. She kicked my butt and told me the truth. Somebody needs what you have to offer right now. Your only job? Go find them. Featured Story I walked into my boss's office at the radio station and quit. I'd been working production, making commercials in the back room. Not my thing. I knew podcasting was coming and I had to get out. He asked me how I could just walk away from security, benefits, vacation time. How could I be so sure something better was waiting? I told him what my mother-in-law taught me. Between that radio station and my house, about 15 miles, somebody was sitting in their office right then with a problem. They were saying, "If I could just find someone to fix this for me." They were losing sleep because they didn't know I existed. My job was to go find them. Important Points Someone right now needs exactly what you have to offer but they're stuck because they don't know you exist yet. Waiting around hoping things work out is the opposite of understanding that people are actively looking for you to solve their problem. Your job isn't to hope or pray for opportunity but to go find the people who need you and let them know you're here. Memorable Quotes "Somebody out there needs what you have to offer. They don't even know you exist. So get out there and let them know you exist." "There is somebody right now in a business that has a problem. They're losing sleep because they don't know you exist." "When I want to grow my business, I just reach out to find people who need me and boy, they're out there." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop waiting for someone else to lift your dreams or hoping opportunity finds you while you sit at home. Shift your mindset from "I hope this works out" to understanding that someone is actively looking for what you offer. Go find the people who need you by getting out there, banging on doors, talking to people, and making yourself known.

This week on The Friendship Tour, I'm bringing back one of the most-loved conversations from last year—an episode filled with warmth, wisdom, and the kind of gentle encouragement we all need as we move through the holiday season. I'm joined by my mother-in-law, Alberta Curtis Minters, a woman whose life is rooted in gratitude, grace, and quiet strength. Her perspective on thankfulness isn't performative or seasonal—it's lived. And it has shaped her relationships, her resilience, and the way she loves people. In this replay, we talk about:
The book of Ruth takes place during one of the darkest periods of time in Israel's history, marked by moral chaos and rampant idolatry. Following the story of a foreign woman who adopts the life of her mother-in-law, Ruth is a story of how God can create beauty despite chaos, as well as the future hope that is to come for all. Matthew includes Ruth in his genealogy of Jesus, a unique inclusion reflective of a unique Redeemer. The story of Ruth is the story of the Gospel of Jesus.
In this episode, Travis shares a personal story about his experience with a challenging out-of-state real estate flip that resulted in a significant loss initially, but also valuable lessons for long-term investing and property management.

ShownotesSome of the most prolific writers often wrote based off of their own personal experiences and turned them into brilliant literary works. For author Flannery O'Connor, this proved true but not in such an obvious way. She experienced a great amount of grief throughout her life that fueled her in a way that ended up shaping and solidifying her faith, to the degree that she would not have made such an impact on the literary world and beyond if not for these crosses. But what exactly can we learn from her in terms of handling our own grief? How can we use her life as inspiration for our own lives to “live like you're dying”?In this week's episode, Andrea and Jennifer explore the life of Flannery O'Connor with Roxane Salonen, one of the authors of the new book, Finding Flannery: the Mystique of Flannery O'Connor and the Legacy She has Left Us All, authored by Christina Brajkovich, Karen Anne Mahoney, and Roxane B. Salonen Our GuestRoxane B. Salonen lives in Fargo, North Dakota and has been crafting stories as a journalist and author for decades, including the award-winning "What Would Monica Do?" (Ascension Press, 2022), and more recently, the co-authored "Finding Flannery" (En Route Books & Media, 2025). Whether through podcast interviews or newspaper articles, Roxane finds Flannery's love for the truth and Catholic convictions inspiring as she seeks to report on truth today.Scripture"Jesus wept."

Michelle Yeoh has created a legendary body of work that defies easy categorisation. You'll know her from cult classic Kung Fu Cinema, Everything Everywhere, All At Once - the film that made her the first Asian woman to be given the Academy Award for Best Actress at the time.

This month sees her returning to the role in Wicked, as Madame Morrible. In person she is warm and engaging, with a fascinating story to tell. We talk about why mistakes help us grow, why she felt like a ‘failure' for not having children (something we have in common), stage fright - and how she almost quit after a life-threatening stunt injury.

Paul Gregory chronicles Lee Harvey Oswald's burial at Rose Hill, which was quiet, with reporters carrying the coffin. Marina, in a daze, performed Russian rituals when viewing the body and was deeply impacted by watching the Kennedy funeral on television. Margarite's difficulty was evident as she persistently asserted her dead son was innocent, claiming he was a hero and clashing openly with Secret Service agents, who grew exasperated knowing he was guilty. Margarite was living in a fantasy world, later claiming agents wanted to murder her. Pete Gregory maintained strict secrecy regarding the women's location, even from the FBI. Ultimately, Marina had to be moved away from her delusional mother-in-law. Guest: Paul Gregory. 1963

If you feel stupid while learning something new, you're doing it right. But if you keep doing the same thing over and over hoping it'll suddenly make sense - that's on you.
