Worksheet: Healing Power of ConnectionAsk people what the hardest part of addiction was, and they often won't say the drugs or the alcohol. They'll say the loneliness. Because addiction, at its core, is about isolation and shame. It's that crushing feeling of being in a crowded room and feeling completely invisible. It's the belief that if people really knew you—the real you with all your secrets and shame—they would run away.But what if the medicine for that loneliness isn't just sobriety? What if the medicine is people?In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Osterlind and Eric Osterlind explore what they believe is the single most powerful predictor of long-term recovery success: connection. Not willpower. Not perfect meetings attendance. But belonging to a tribe, a community, a place where you're not alone.Addiction demands secrecy. It thrives in the dark. Over time, you stop answering the phone, you stop going to events. You isolate to protect the addiction, but you end up trapping yourself with your own worst thoughts. And even in recovery, that instinct to hide can still linger. You might feel like a burden, or you might think, "I can do this on my own. I don't need help." But that's a dangerous lie. When shame says "I am bad" and isolation says "I am alone," relapse becomes almost inevitable.The vicious cycle works like this: we isolate ourselves because we feel shame, and then that isolation breeds more shame. Breaking that cycle requires doing the one thing that feels most unnatural—reaching out. As journalist Johan Hari famously summarized from his research, "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection." But shame tells us we're not worthy of that connection, so we don't risk it.The evidence is overwhelming. Whether it's AA, NA, SMART Recovery, or group therapy, the data shows that people who engage in supportive community have significantly better outcomes than those who try to go it alone. It's not just about having people around you—it's about shared experience. When you walk into a room and hear someone tell your story, there's a profound shift. The shame starts to evaporate because you realize: "I'm not the only one. I'm not crazy, bad, or sick. I'm not alone."Group settings provide a buffer against stress. When we're with safe people, our nervous system can actually co-regulate. We feel safer physically and emotionally. The community provides accountability—someone to notice if you're struggling. It provides encouragement—someone to cheer when you win. And perhaps most importantly, we borrow their hope until we can rebuild our own. We lean on their energy when ours runs out.But finding community can feel overwhelming, especially if you have social anxiety or fear of judgment. That's why Duane and Eric break it down into two simple, manageable steps you can take this week.Step one: Identify just one potential connection point. This could be looking up an online meeting and putting it in your calendar. It could be texting one friend and saying, "Hey, can we grab coffee?" Or maybe it's looking for a sober hiking group or book club. Just find one place where healthy people are gathering that interests you.Step two: Practice active listening in one conversation. Connection is a two-way street, but sometimes we're so anxious about what we're going to say that we forget to listen. This week, in just one conversation, put down your phone, look someone in the eye, and listen to understand—not to reply. Reflect back what you heard: "It sounds like you had a really tough day." This simple act builds instant intimacy and trust.Remember, by participating in community, you aren't just getting help—you're giving it. Your presence helps someone else feel less alone, and that can be a powerful engine for your own self-worth and shame resilience.You don't have to do this alone. Reach out, connect, and let the healing begin.Key Topics• The isolation trap of addiction: How addiction thrives in secrecy and loneliness, making connection the true antidote to recovery• Shame as a barrier to connection: Understanding why shame tells us we're not worthy and keeps us from reaching out for help• The opposite of addiction is connection: Johan Hari's powerful research showing community as the single most powerful predictor of recovery success• Co-regulation in community: How being with safe people allows our nervous systems to calm down and feel safer physically and emotionally• Two actionable steps for building connection: Identifying one connection point and practicing active listening this week• From lone wolf to pack member: Moving from vulnerable isolation to being part of a supportive network that protects and sustains you• The gift of giving back: How your presence in community helps others feel less alone and builds your own sense of purposeTimestamps[00:01:30] - The stark reality: The hardest part of addiction isn't the substances—it's the crushing loneliness[00:03:00] - The vicious cycle: How shame and isolation feed each other and make relapse almost inevitable[00:05:00] - Johan Hari's breakthrough insight: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety—the opposite is connection"[00:06:30] - The profound shift: What happens when you hear someone tell your story in a room full of people[00:07:00] - Co-regulation explained: How safe people help calm our nervous system when we can't do it alone[00:08:00] - Actionable Step #1: Identifying one potential connection point you can take this week[00:10:00] - Actionable Step #2: Practicing active listening to build instant intimacy and trustSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Moving forward doesn't mean leaving my child behind.” As one year ends and another begins, many people are eager to turn the page. For bereaved parents, however, the arrival of a new year can feel heavy and overwhelming. A new calendar can make us feel like we're leaving our child behind—and that can be deeply painful.In this encore episode, Jill shares ten faith-anchored resolutions shaped by her own journey of grief after the loss of her daughter, Hannah. These are not resolutions about self-improvement or moving on, but about extending grace, caring for a grieving heart, and leaning fully on God's strength.Originally recorded near the close of 2020 in the height of the Covid pandemic, this episode acknowledges both personal loss and collective weariness, offering encouragement for grieving parents entering a new year they may not feel ready to face.In this episode, you'll hear reflections on:Why stepping into a new year can feel especially difficult after child lossBeing patient and kind with yourself as grief unfoldsExtending grace to others who don't know what to say or doLearning to communicate what you need—and honoring your limitsFinding joy in small, God-given momentsLetting go of guilt, blame, and “if only” thinkingStanding on God's truth when emotions feel overwhelmingDepending on God's strength when your own is goneThe episode closes with a prayer from Verdell Davis's book Let Me Grieve, But Not Forever, reminding listeners of the deep lessons learned in the valley and the sustaining grace of God who meets us there.I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

#192 - What I'm Carrying Into the New Year — And What I'm Finally Leaving Behind New Year's Eve has a funny way of making us feel like we should reinvent ourselves by midnight. New rules. New goals. New personality. Preferably someone who loves green juice and wakes up excited at 5 a.m. This episode is… not that. Instead, this is a pause. A breath. A moment to stand in the quiet space between what's been and what's coming—and ask a better question than “Who should I be next year?” In this reflective solo episode, I share what this past year taught me the long way around: that growth isn't about striving harder, fixing more, or optimizing your way into worthiness. The most meaningful shifts often come from removing pressure, listening to your nervous system, and letting go of identities that no longer fit. We talk about discernment over urgency, why discomfort isn't a problem to solve, how progress actually works (hint: it's not linear), and what it looks like to move into a new year lighter—not because you did more, but because you carried less. No resolutions. No hustle. No performative “new you.” Just honesty, integration, and intentions that actually make room for real life. If you've felt tired of pushing, quietly proud of how much you've grown, or like you're standing on the edge of something new—but slower and steadier than before—this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: Why striving, optimizing, and “doing more” often block real healing The difference between urgency and discernment—and why it matters How listening to your nervous system builds real trust with yourself What to keep, what to release, and what doesn't need to come with you Why intentions work better than resolutions (and how to choose yours) How progress actually unfolds—even when it feels messy or invisible Time Stamps 00:00 – Why this episode isn't about goals, resolutions, or reinvention 02:00 – The quiet space between years—and why it matters 04:00 – When striving stops working (and what actually does) 06:30 – Discernment vs. urgency: learning to pause instead of react 10:00 – What I'm intentionally carrying into the new year 12:00 – What I'm finally leaving behind (and why discomfort isn't failure) 15:00 – Intentions over resolutions—and how to choose yours 18:00 – Moving forward lighter, calmer, and more grounded Where to Find Me You can connect with me, explore programs, and see what I'm up to outside the podcast here: Website: https://lisasmithwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prettywell_podcast

In this final episode of 2025, Axel shares eight forward-looking predictions and trends that multifamily investors need to be aware of as we head into 2026.Moving beyond the generic predictions found in major publications, Axel focuses on the data-driven reality of the 2026 market. This isn't about following optimistic forecasts; it's about mapping a strategy based on the actual trends and ground-level shifts we are seeing as 2025 draws to a close.These insights aren't coming from a crystal ball, but from the practical realities we are actively using to shape our own investment strategy for the year ahead.If you're planning acquisitions, dispositions, or operational changes in 2026, this episode provides a practical framework for adjusting expectations and positioning your business accordingly.The 8 Predictions Covered in This Episode#1: Real estate is becoming a highly politicized asset class#2: C-class valuations will struggle to rebound#3: Light value-add becomes the new standard#4: The property management divide will explode#5: The market trades more efficiently (especially for smaller assets)#6: Price beats amenities in B/C class assets#7: The homeownership gap widens#8: Multifamily valuations stay flatThe investors who understand these shifts and position accordingly will be the ones who generate returns in 2026. The ones who keep underwriting (and more importantly, operating assets) like it's 2022-2025 are going to struggle.Are you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

In this engaging installment of the "What Is Public Health?" series, Dr. Charlotte Huntley welcomes Ashley Harris, a recent MPH graduate and health advocate, and Dr. Eboni Haynes, CEO of The Mahogany Group, to discuss the art of plain-language communication and the vital importance of community buy-in. Moving beyond textbook definitions, the guests share relatable metaphors to demystify the field: Ashley describes public health as a "multifaceted superhero" working quietly in the background to prioritize proactive care over reactive treatment, using the tangible reality of built environments like counting liquor stores versus grocery stores to make the concept click for non-experts. Dr. Haynes expands the conversation to the powerful intersection of faith and public health, sharing insights on bridging the gap between healthcare systems and congregations to build trust and utilize data within ministry. Tune in to discover why public health is the essential "through line" in everything we do and learn how to advocate for the resources that protect our shared future.

As the calendar turns toward a new year, many grieving moms feel an unexpected weight. Moving forward can feel disloyal. Hope can feel complicated. And the quiet question rises: How do I walk into a new year when my child is no longer walking beside me? In this episode, we return to Mary one final time. Scripture tells us she treasured these things and pondered them in her heart. Mary did not move forward by forgetting what she carried. She moved forward by holding love and life together. In this episode, you'll hear: Why stepping into a new year can stir guilt after child loss How Mary teaches us to carry memory and movement together Why loving your child deeply and living forward are not opposites How faith invites you to walk gently into what comes next This conversation offers permission to grieve, remember, and continue living — all at the same time.

UnHerd's Freddie Sayers speaks with Yanis Varoufakis about the unsettling rise of AI-generated deepfakes, using Varoufakis's own experience as one of the most synthesised figures on YouTube as a chilling case study. The conversation delves into the "techno-feudal" power structures of Big Tech, where algorithms prioritise engagement and "rent-seeking" over truth, allowing misinformation to spread rapidly while the victims struggle to reclaim their own digital identities.Moving beyond the personal, they explore an imminent future in which audiovisual evidence can no longer be trusted, debating whether this will lead to a new era where arguments are judged solely on their merits, or a return to a medieval-like state where high-quality information becomes a luxury for the elite while the masses are left to navigate a sea of fabricated content.

Send us a textToday's episode is part of a series called "Leaving America," about folks who have decided to move outside the country and how they did it. Our guest is Joanna Keenan. Jo and I worked together in Santa Cruz, California. We were both physician assistants in the same emergency department at the local hospital there. Eight years ago Jo and her spouse Kelly retired to Mexico. Five years ago, Joanna came out as a trans woman. We discuss our shared experience working in American healthcare, and her and Kel's decision to retire to Mexico and the logistics of that move. We also talk about her experience coming out as a trans woman in Mexico, and her and Kel's move back to the United States this year in large part because they have turned 65 and now qualify for Medicare which gives them access to better health care than what they had in Mexico.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the top dating mistakes that keep powerful, intelligent women stuck in cycles of disappointment instead of in the arms of a high-value man who can truly love their soul. I'm going to lovingly—but directly—call out the patterns that sabotage love, including: Believing a man's words instead of his actions Moving too fast with the wrong man and skipping proper vetting Dating from insecurity instead of dating for growth Confusing dating with intimacy and giving benefits before commitment Dating is not about hope, potential, or chemistry alone. Dating is an interview process—and not everyone deserves access to your time, your heart, or your body. I'll teach you how to slow down, raise your standards, protect your energy, and position yourself to attract a man who is emotionally available, intentional, and capable of building a future with you. If you're tired of wasting time… If you're ready to stop repeating the same love lessons… And if you desire a romantic best friend who meets you at your level— This episode is for you.

Below is an excerpt from The Highlight by Vox on why Americans are moving in with strangers twice their age, written by Rachel Cohen and narrated by Jaime Lamchick for Apple News+.
MAO'S XENOPHOBIC REVOLUTION AND THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. Moving to China, McMeekin explains that Mao Zedong's ideology was a "bizarre melange" of Marxism, class envy, and intense xenophobia. Unlike European communists, Chinese communism was driven by a deep resentment of foreign imperialism. The conversation analyzes the catastrophe of the Great Leap Forward, where Maoattempted to surpass British economic output by collectivizing agriculture and creating "industrial armies"—an idea taken directly from the Communist Manifesto and Stalin's Five-Year Plans. This experiment resulted in the death of 40 to 45 million people. McMeekin notes that Mao ignored warnings from Soviet advisors to avoid their past mistakes, driven instead by a competitive desire to outdo the Soviets and a "fantasmagorical" hatred of foreign influence. NUMBER 5
THE STRUGGLE TO BUILD AND TRANSPORT THE FIRST FALCON 9 Colleague Eric Berger. Moving from the single-engine Falcon 1 to the nine-engine Falcon 9 involved a "long hot summer" of grueling 100-hour weeks for young engineers in Texas. The team faced immense challenges integrating complex plumbing and flight computers for the first time. Lacking a ship or large aircraft, SpaceX transported the massive rocket to Florida on a trailer, a "road trip from Hades" that resulted in the rocket crashing into a building during a tight turn. Despite dead crickets in the fuselage and storm damage to antennas, Musk pushed for a successful launch in 2010. NUMBER 2 JANUARY 1951
