In this compelling episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts welcomes Amber Washington, a powerful and resilient advocate for childhood sexual abuse survivors. Throughout the episode, they discuss the long-lasting impact of childhood trauma, the importance of embracing healing, and shifting cultural narratives around abuse. Amber bravely shares her personal journey from a survivor of sexual abuse by her grandfather to becoming an outspoken advocate for change. The episode serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action for cultural change, as Amber and Mary discuss both the painful memories and the healing process that unfolds with courage and support. Amber Washington's story is a testament to the strength and resilience required to overcome adversity. Her life has been marked by challenges, from the aftermath of childhood abuse to facing societal pressures and personal setbacks. Yet, through therapy, self-discovery, and determination, she has emerged as a light for others, advocating for trauma-informed care and pushing for societal change. The episode explores how healing is a continuous journey and underscores the need for communities to acknowledge and address childhood sexual abuse. Listeners are encouraged to not just learn from Amber's experiences but to actively participate in creating a safer and more understanding world. About the Guest: Amber Washington is a passionate advocate and speaker on the topic of childhood sexual abuse and healing from trauma.

Key Takeaways: Childhood trauma, such as sexual abuse, has profound and lasting impacts, but healing is possible with the right support and resources. The cultural shift is necessary to prevent abuse and support survivors. It requires honesty, openness, and community responsibility. Trauma-informed training can aid industries in understanding and addressing trauma responses effectively, fostering safer and more supportive environments. Shifting perspectives from "what's wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?" can help in healing and understanding trauma. Personal responsibility lies in the reaction and healing post-trauma, but the community also has a responsibility to support survivors and prevent future abuse.

It hit me: my podcast is being talked about in rooms I'm not in, which means more of you are listening... but you might not really know Maggie.I'm naturally introverted. I love to teach and share value, but I don't often talk about myself.

These aren't just nice ideas - they're the foundation of how I coach and how I live.My Journey to Coaching - How I went from 13+ years in corporate leadership (sales, operations, service excellence, people leadership, and more) to burning out, leaving it all behind, and building a business helping service-based entrepreneurs scale sustainably.Why This Episode Matters:If you've been listening to the podcast but don't really know the woman behind the microphone, this episode is for you. Understanding my values and beliefs will help you understand why I coach the way I do - and whether we're the right fit to work together.This is probably the most vulnerable episode I've ever recorded. I don't usually talk about myself like this.

Growing up on the autism spectrum, Leland Vittert knew what it meant to be singled out. He was bullied by classmates, written off by teachers, even branded "weird" by a school principal. But his father never let his son be defined by autism and he never gave up on him. His dad understood a hard truth: the world wasn't going to adapt for his son, so his son would have to learn to adapt to the world. And he did. From war zones to the anchor desk, Vittert built a career in journalism that few could have imagined. Leland Vittert's new memoir is a thank you letter to his father and the tough love and unwavering belief that helped transform a boy the world underestimated into a man defined by resilience, gratitude, and purpose. His book is called Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Deep State Weaponization Broadcasting live from Washington, D.C., Buck Sexton covers the latest developments in the Trump administration’s showdown with Democrat-run cities, focusing on Chicago and Portland. The discussion kicks off with explosive revelations about FBI surveillance of Republican Senators, including Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, and Ron Johnson, as part of the controversial “Arctic Frost” operation. Buck highlights Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, exposing the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ and the urgent need for reform under Director Patel. Who is Leading the Democrats? Buck recaps President Trump’s Oval Office remarks, where Trump blasts Democrats for having “no leadership and no policy,” calling out figures like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Buck underscores Trump’s point, arguing that Democrats lack a clear leader for the first time in decades, with contenders like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker jockeying for influence while the party drifts toward radicalism. Remembering Israel's 9/11 Karol Markowitz, host of The Karol Markowicz Show, reflecting on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. Karol shares her perspective on the enduring trauma for Jews worldwide, the resilience of Israelis, and the disturbing rise of antisemitism in Western societies. The discussion dismantles false narratives of “genocide” against Palestinians, highlighting how media outlets like The New York Times manipulate imagery to push propaganda. Buck and Karol underscore President Trump’s unwavering support for Israel, his clarity on Middle East policy, and the broader civilizational stakes tied to unchecked immigration and radical ideology. The conversation shifts to emerging hostility toward Israel from some voices on the right, with Karol warning against conspiracy theories and emphasizing that polls still show overwhelming conservative support for Israel. She frames antisemitism as a “mind virus” that can consume individuals and societies, urging vigilance against its spread. Buck reinforces the historical context of violent indoctrination in Gaza and calls for moral clarity in U.S. foreign policy. Living with Autism In a compelling second half, Buck welcomes Leland Vittert, NewsNation host and author of Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. Leland shares his deeply personal story of overcoming severe autism through his father’s relentless commitment to adaptation and resilience. The discussion explores the flaws in expert-driven approaches that encourage meeting children “where they are” instead of pushing them to thrive. Leland details practical strategies his father used—like instilling discipline, teaching social skills, and building character—that transformed his life. Buck relates with his own childhood struggle with a speech impediment, reinforcing the theme that parental involvement and perseverance can change destinies. The segment also tackles the surge in autism diagnoses, with Leland calling it “the scientific question of our time” and criticizing partisan attacks on efforts to find answers. His book offers hope and actionable guidance for parents navigating challenges from autism to ADHD and beyond.

What happens when a parent refuses to let a diagnosis define their child? TV news anchor Leland Vittert shares his story of growing up with autism, the “tough love” lessons his father insisted on, and how those moments of discomfort shaped the man and reporter he became. In this conversation with host Julie Rose, Vittert opens up about bullying, rejection, resilience, and the powerful role his father played in teaching him to adapt to the world rather than expecting the world to adapt to him. Leland Vittert is the Chief Washington Anchor at NewsNation and host of “On Balance with Leland Vittert.” Before joining NewsNation, he spent a decade as a foreign correspondent and anchor at Fox News.

Leland Vittert is one of America's most recognizable television correspondents. You'll know his face from years of frontline reporting in places like Egypt, Libya, Israel, and Ukraine.  You may have followed his tumultuous exit from Fox News in 2021, after clashing with the network over its coverage of Donald Trump—and then his redemption arc, becoming the host of On Balance and the chief Washington anchor at NewsNation.  But what you might not know is that Leland is autistic. He just wrote a book about it, called Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. In it, Leland explains that he didn't talk until age 3, was born severely cross-eyed, and struggled with basic concepts like eye contact, humor, conversation cues, and social rules. Middle school and high school were nothing short of hell.  So how did the kid we just described go from, as he says, “socially lost” to one of America's most recognizable and charismatic voices? Training. Relentless, nonstop work. His father knew the world wouldn't change for Leland—Leland would have to change for the world. It is a moving memoir about how Leland—and most notably, his father—worked to “beat” his autism. You'll have to read it to understand how. Leland was diagnosed about 40 years ago. Since then, conversation has shifted dramatically—and so have rates of diagnoses. In the 1980s, about one in 1,000 American children were diagnosed with autism. Today, it's one in 31. The questions of what causes autism and how we treat it have become so politicized that the conversation has left people either resentful, anxious, confused, or scared. And most critically, still without answers.  Born Lucky is landing at an especially interesting moment given that the Trump administration has put the topic of autism at center stage. Just last week, Trump held a press conference where he alleged that there was a link between the active ingredient in Tylenol and autism, and told mothers not to take the pain reliever and fever reducer and instead “tough it out.”  That's among the many things Leland and I talk about in this fascinating conversation.  Header 6: The Free Press earns a commission from any purchases made through all book links in this article.

In this special episode, I share my journey of creating the Intuitive Human Design Teacher Training & Certification and sit down with Dr. Marie Weitbrecht, one of my current certification students, to discuss her experience and transformation.My Journey as a Teacher:I've always been a natural teacher - even in school, I helped other kids with math and loved it. But I didn't know what I was here to teach until human design came into my life about five years ago. When I discovered it, something clicked - it felt like remembering rather than learning something new.What I quickly realized was that the way I understood and shared human design was vastly different from traditional teachings. Human design gave me permission to do things my own way, which was exactly what I'd been frustrated about in the entrepreneurial space - constantly trying to replicate other people's formulas and feeling like a failure when they didn't work.Why This Certification Exists:I noticed that human design was often being taught in ways that actually defeated its purpose - people were outsourcing their authority to the system rather than learning to trust themselves. I wanted to teach it in an expansive, empowering way that helps people tune into their own inner authority.The certification evolved further when I discovered true sidereal astrology (thanks to Marie bringing it to my attention!). Now the program offers both perspectives - tropical and true sidereal - so students can explore what resonates most authentically with them.Conversation with Dr. Marie Weitbrecht:Marie shares her experience taking the certification, including:Why she joined after already completing my previous certificationWhat makes this program unique - the active community and high-level discussionsHer transformation from constant stress to learning to decondition from societal pressureHow her reading style has evolved from "cookie cutter" explanations to intuitive, targeted sessionsWhy she feels confident using human design with her clientsKey Insights from Marie:"I've never seen such an active community in any course... it seems like everyone is on a pulse that is important, and that's very special.""I used to operate from stress maybe 80% of the time. Now I'm really deconditioning around pressure from outside, from society, from what I think other people want from me.""People actually just want help in what's bothering them - they don't need to understand every nitty-gritty detail of their chart."The Invitation:The next cohort of the Intuitive Human Design Teacher Training & Certification begins at the end of October 2025. This is a nine-month transformative journey (like birthing a baby!) where you'll go through your own deconditioning while learning to share human design in your unique, intuitive way.This isn't about memorizing information or giving cookie-cutter readings - it's about deepening your relationship with yourself so you can authentically guide others.If you feel a light, expansive sensation in your body right now, that's your invitation to explore this journey.

This captivating episode features Amanda Carrasco, also known as Amanda The Brave One, author of Becoming the Brave One; My Journey to Justice. Amanda's story is one of unimaginable trauma and extraordinary resilience. She endured horrific sexual assaults and, while out of her home, suffered the devastating loss of her immediate family at the hands of another family member. Yet rather than allowing her trauma to define her, Amanda transformed her experiences into a platform for healing, education, and advocacy—helping survivors and professionals alike understand the realities of trauma and the critical importance of being seen, heard, and believed. In this episode, Amanda shares her journey with raw honesty and fearless transparency. She talks about the challenges of navigating the aftermath of assault, the systemic failures survivors often face, and the personal strength required to reclaim one's life. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest circumstances, courage and resilience can create change—not only in one's own life, but in the lives of others. This is an episode that will challenge, inspire, and leave listeners reflecting on how they can better support survivors in their communities. Get her book wherever you buy your books.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible was actually written to you—or just for you? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders unpacks why understanding the original audience and first-century context of the New Testament is crucial for truly grasping its message. Dive into the cultural backdrop, real-life tensions, and urgent challenges faced by early believers, and discover how this perspective can transform your faith and bring scripture to life in powerful new ways. If you've ever felt confused or disconnected from what you read in the Bible, this eye-opening episode is one you don't want to miss."If we ignore who the Bible was originally written to, we risk twisting what it actually means." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons To Listen:Unlock the Bible's Original Context: Discover why understanding who the Bible was originally written to in the first century completely changes its meaning—and how misreading this can lead to distorted theology.Expose Common Misinterpretations: Learn how applying ancient scriptures directly to modern life—especially politics and culture—can result in confusion, fear, and even push people away from the message of Jesus.Rediscover the Kingdom of God: Find out why the “Kingdom of God”—mentioned over a hundred times in the New Testament—is not a side topic, but the central theme often missed in Christian teaching today.Key Lessons:Understanding Biblical Context Is Essential - The Bible was written for us, but not to us. It's crucial to recognize that the original audience lived in a different time, place, and culture. When we ignore that, we risk misinterpreting or misapplying Scripture.Audience Matters More Than You Think - Every book, letter, and passage had a specific audience facing real issues of their day. Learning who these people were and what they were experiencing helps us better understand the true message behind the text.Most New Testament Writings Happened Within a Narrow Timeline - The bulk of the New Testament was written between AD 45 and AD 70, a period of massive change and tension for the early followers of Jesus—especially as the Old Covenant faded and the New Covenant took hold.Misapplying Scripture Causes Confusion and Harm - Trying to directly apply first-century issues or warnings to modern politics or culture leads to shallow, sometimes damaging theology. Instead, we should seek to understand principles that transcend time, not force-fit ancient texts into today's headlines.The Kingdom of God Is the Core Message - The Kingdom isn't a side topic—it's central to Jesus' teachings and to the mission of the early church. Recognizing this helps us connect all the threads of the New Testament in a powerful, life-giving way.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Rethinking the Bible's Audience00:59 The Problem with Modern Bible Interpretation02:13 Understanding the First Century Context03:12 My Journey with Biblical Context07:30 The Importance of Audience in Interpretation09:10 Misapplications and Their Consequences13:53 The Timeline of the New Testament17:47 The Significance of AD 7025:08 The Kingdom of God: The Core MessageResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:

The journey from NFL superstar to Hollywood actor isn't one many can successfully navigate, but Vernon Davis makes it look effortless. This raw conversation with the Super Bowl champion reveals the mindset that's enabled him to excel across multiple fields. "When I understood how important it was to be selfless and do things for the sake of the team, then I became a better not just a better player, but a better person overall because that shifted over to life," Vernon shares early in our discussion. This philosophy has guided his remarkable transformation from elite tight end to accomplished actor with over 30 credits to his name. What separates Vernon from others attempting similar career pivots is his unwavering commitment to mastery. He describes sneaking away from football practice to attend acting classes at the same theater where Danny Glover trained. Now, five years into working with a dedicated acting coach twice weekly, he's seeing the results of that consistency: "If I'm where I'm at right now, imagine what I'm gonna be at in 10 years." This echoes his football approach, where he was famously the last player off the practice field for 14 straight seasons. Perhaps most valuable is Vernon's wisdom about evaluating opportunities. Rather than focusing on products or concepts, he examines the people involved: "People can make or break you. I don't look at the business or the product—I look at the people who I'm working with." This insight saved him countless headaches, as demonstrated by his grandmother's remarkable ability to spot a dishonest financial advisor who later stole $500,000 from him. Throughout our conversation, Vernon's legacy emerges clearly—a man determined to lead by example in everything he does. Whether catching game-winning touchdowns, starring alongside Morgan Freeman, or building businesses, he approaches each endeavor with the same dedication to excellence.
