In this week's episode of Breaking Battlegrounds, we kick off with an insightful segment featuring Aaron Steed, the CEO of Meathead Movers. Despite the numerous accolades, including being recognized by the Obama Administration, Meathead Movers recently faced a federal lawsuit alleging age discrimination. It's important to note that no individual filed a complaint against Meathead Movers; this action came directly from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We delve into the details of the lawsuit, exploring the implications and challenges ahead. Following this, Ashley Hayek, Executive Director of America First Works, engages in two segments, shedding light on her new book, "Beat the Elites," the fentanyl crisis, and her early entrepreneurial endeavors of selling Mistletoe's during the holidays. Lastly, we are joined by Patrick Byrne, founder of Overstock.com, discusses whistleblower complaints aimed at Jack Smith. Kiley is back this week for Kiley's Corner, where she takes us on a delightful exploration of the history of ugly Christmas sweaters.

Trigger warning: gun violence, stalking, partner violence, suicide October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Ruth's story is one of survival, inspiration, and information for us all to use and share.  Let me be your breakup buddy! Get direct access to my calendar here to schedule a FREE consultation. Domestic violence is a prevalent and misunderstood issue impacting individuals and families in every community in this country. It is estimated that nearly 20 people per minute are being physically abused in the United States, with life-altering non-physical violence just as common but less recognized.  Yet as pervasive an issue as it is, there are myths and misunderstandings that make things even less safe for victims and survivors. In this re-drop Ruth and I share: -Her story of being abused by her husband -Why “why didn't you leave??” misses the point and puts the blame on the abused person -How you can provide hope and support to someone in your life who may be being abused -How to recognize abuse in your relationship -How to be an advocate for victims and survivors Plus: how to get involved with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and join the movement against intimate partner violence.  The NCADV is 100% reliant on grassroots support and donations, not funded by government grants.

Nearly 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States every 60 seconds, more than ten million people every year. Ruth Glenn bravely shares her story of trauma, survival, and advocacy. Glenn has dedicated her life to supporting survivors of domestic violence. She is the president and CEO of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), an organization dedicated to holding abusers accountable while protecting survivors and advocates. Before her work with the NCADV began, she worked in the Colorado Department of Human Services for 28 years and served as the director of the Domestic Violence Program in her last nine years there. Glenn is a survivor of domestic violence and has often shared her story to help enlighten others about the prevalence and development of domestic violence. She has advocated for many causes, including reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. The act “creates and supports comprehensive, cost-effective responses to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.” Glenn has also advocated for legislation involving firearms and domestic violence. This is clearly an important cause, given the 557 deaths due to gun-related domestic violence that have already occurred this year, according to the NCADV website's count at the time of writing. Glenn has been a part of several domestic violence programs, provided her expertise on domestic violence survivor issues and testified before the Colorado State Legislature and the United States Congress. In October, she published her memoir “Everything I Never Dreamed: My Life Surviving and Standing Up to Domestic Violence.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week survivor Vanessa shares her story.Vanessa met Cody while working at a local bar and their relationship moved quickly. After only a few weeks together, Vanessa found out she was pregnant and with her Catholic upbringing, they decided to get married.

For decades now, political pundits and analysts have been making the same observation over and over and over again: that being that somewhere along the line American politics became meaner than it once was. These people completely misunderstand American politics; they know nothing of the political history of this nation and, either mistakenly or intentionally, they are misinforming you. America's politics have always been violent, which is probably one of the reasons so few people enjoy talking about politics in America. You have to have a bit of a taste for the profane as an American political observer. People who say such silly things will always try to find one distinct causes of American political violence; the conservatives point to defund the police, while liberals point to Trump supporters. But there is an overall trend in both sides of the political spectrum toward violent rhetoric. This makes sense considering the fact that early American colonizers committed a genocide on the Native population of this country and did not even bat an eye about it. Still today there are Americans who refuse to even recognize that the aforementioned mass killing even took place or who exclaim at the top of their lungs, “get over it or get out of my country!” The same thing is often said about slavery. Today Americans are so ready to forget that slavery ever took place that they are more than ready to ban the teaching of it in school altogether! They are doing this because they refuse to admit to their ancestors' violent history and, in so doing, they are bolstering, encouraging and promoting the same violent history. The Salem witch trials are another perfect example of America's willingness to engage in violent acts (in this case the mass drowning, burning and torture of its own citizens) in order to solidify political power. After the mass genocide of the Native population, America then proceeded to kidnap Native children from their homes and hold them captive in “schools” where torture was inflicted upon them in order to prevent them from practicing their culture in public. It does not get much more politically violent than that. We also should not forget that it was once commonplace to ruthlessly beat women both at home and on the job. We also often forget the mass use of child labor in the United States. Children worked under awful conditions and were often injured or killed on the job during the industrial revolution. The barbaric practice of forcing children to work ten hour days with little rest did not end in America until the 1930s. Then there was the internment of the Japanese, not to mention the brutal treatment of Chinese railroad workers. Chinese workers were paid less and hundreds lost their lives in squalid conditions that no American today would accept. Fast forward to today and homeless people meander through the street; they sleep on the sidewalk in front of luxury stores while bleeding from the head. Cops come along and thaw corpses off of park benches before the day's work begins. Veterans, who risked their lives for this nation, sleep in tent cities. Countless people were simply tossed out of their homes because they lost their jobs through no fault of their own. People with serious disabilities are refused checks because America's wallet has tightened just as much as its heart. And what of America's secret love affair with domestic violence? According to the NCADV, intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crime in the U.S.A. 10 million people in a year suffer from domestic violence, that amounts to a shocking one in four woemen and one in nine men. Is this not ruthless? Callous? Is this not violence? Is it not violent to call for the killing of elected officials or celebrities? It was when they did it to AOC, Mike Pence, Liz Cheney, Josh McDermitt, Anna Gunn, and Adam Kizinger. But it is not new, just ask JFK, RFK, FDR, Malcolm X, John Lennon, Jodi Foster, and many, many more. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/morecontentplease/support

Self talk, the process, paying attention, (self honesty) and of course the WANT! With these things we can change so much! Changing others is not happening, and life will always happen so the only way to survive in peace is to change how we deal with them.Creating new thoughts, new feelings and seeing where the truth lies in our lives can help us feel better about the life we live in. Our brain can lie to ourselves because it only has information that we provide it. The past is information already provided - rewrite it! Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves that we provide our brain with false information that takes time to change - rewrite it! Here is the adorable dragonass shirt I found. Love it! It is a wonderful feeling when my true brain is working at full steam! Not on old false information, or on thoughts that are completely untrue! Protect your new thought in the beginning!! Feed it tenderly with truth and once it becomes the truth, there are new feelings, and even changes begin! Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Chit chat and shooting the shit about whatever comes up. Our favorite topic, everything and nothing! LOL Do you have a jimney cricket? Just don't let him feed you any bullshit! Helping others to feel better, noticed, cared for and offering hope. That is our High in life! First thought wrong! Sometimes we have to take a beat and pay attention to that first thought. Am I being judgy? Am I criticizing myself unjustly? Take the moment to contemplate that first thought! The brain is lazy and likes to use what is already there.

Never does forgiveness mean that what they did was ok, or that we ever want to see them again. It means you deserve the freedom from what they did and freedom from the shackles that hold us to it. We forgive our loved ones from things they may do or say, and we do not keep reliving it. If we are, the forgiveness has not been finished and we are still shackled and a hostage to the pain of what THEY did. Love ourselves enough to learn forgiveness. Being consumed with the emotions behind what hurt us, or the want for revenge, or to stay angry and denies us the peace of forgiveness. We all are worthy of forgiveness. Remember to forgive yourself! Offer yourself the gift of a life full of potential and joy.Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Stuff happens in life, and usually when we least expect it. How we process it, is how well we will manage it. Plus, we don't know, what we don't know. We may handle something today totally different than we did yesterday. As we find our best selves and live our best lives, when life happens it may step on us but not crush us.Confrontation! OY! Yes, some people love it, some can do it easily, and for some of us it's a tremendous fear. For our own selves, if we need to do it - Just do it! Bust through that fear! Betrayal, trust and being held accountable - WOW major deep to the heart issues. What a great life if we live as someone that can be trusted, and having people we can trust. Covid. We hope you are managing with the back to normal life without fear. Being someone with social anxiety is was nice not seeing people as much or from the computer. Social anxiety is the worst! Here we are relearning self talk to getting back out there where we need to. People DO need people. Self talk into getting out instead sitting in the headspace of the fear.

Hi!! Nancy and Dee finish up on anger, and then chit chat about communicating with others. The link for the anger workbook is in the links section below. Communication comes in so many forms, created in as many ways as there are people, and we all need it. To share our needs, and to help others with theirs. From those we love, to boring lectures, to those we are not pleased with we need to communicate. There is so much we can learn from one another. There is a link below for some easy reading on communication. Not feeling very communicative this week, so have a listen and let us know what you think - feel - or need. :) Blessings~Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Having boundaries and adhering to them is self care and love. Many people may not say it but they will respect you for having and protecting your boundaries. When we love and respect ourselves, it is easier for others to do the same for us.Jody Moore from Better Than Happy does a great episode on boundaries on her podcast. Here is a link to her webpage. https://jodymoore.com/ We hope that if your life situation is that of abuse - of any kind- that you seek help somewhere. It is very difficult to learn the process of boundaries in these situations and the extra help will guide you to a place that you can live with easier.

I got to sit down and speak to Daniel Noah of SpectreVision to talk about their work with Nicolas Cage, his connection to the paranormal and the story of how a gang of Hollywood misfits decided to create a production company that make unique genre films.This is possibly my favourite conversation I've ever had on the podcast, there was something special in the air that day. Daniel may have the best analogy for how Cage works, we talk about being at the centre of thew whirlwind of the instant cult hit, Mandy (Panos Cosmatos, 2018). We discuss the upcoming projects SpectreVision have coming up, No Man Of God (Amber Searley, 2021) which will premiere at this years Tribeca Film Festival and he assures me that The Man With Kaleidoscope Eyes, which is slated to be directed by legendary director, Joe Dante.UK CHARITIES:DONATE to REFUGEDONATE to WOMEN'S AIDSUPPORT - THE DASH CHARITYUS CHARITIES:DONATE to NCADVDONATE to FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCEFIND more RESOURCESDANIEL NOAH on TWITTERSPECTREVISION on TWITTERVISITATIONS on APPLE PODCASTSBREADCRUMBS COLLECTIVE on TWITTERBREADCRUMBS COLLECTIVE on INSTAGRAMCAGED IN on TWITTERCAGED IN on INSTAGRAMCAGED IN on LETTERBOXDCAGED IN on FACEBOOKEMAIL CAGED IN NOWCaged In is apart of the Breadcrumbs Collective, head over to the WEBSITE to get all episodes of this show as well as other great shows.

Sooooooo, I was triggered by this episode. When we are sharing with you all, I can get it out, keep the emotions low, and the impact small. Wanting to share the beginning and then the growth keeps me going but afterwards sometimes I feel the aftermath of it all. That is why this episode is late today. LOL I just did not want to edit it, hear it again or feeeeeel it all again for a day. It was only a couple hours of processing, and seeing some great women, and some self assurance talk to get me back to me but it still sucked. We are so grateful for being women that have learned, had good people, a program of life, and each other to be the people we want to be. We want to share it with you. YOU can do it, and it reminds us of how far we have come. Our moments of discomfort are so worth it if it means you will be able to have some hope, and know someone that gets it all.

Personal boundaries are the limits and rules we set for ourselves within relationships. A person with healthy boundaries can say no to others when they want to, but they are also comfortable opeing themselves up to intimacy and close relationships. Personal boundaries are the physical, emotional, and mental limits we establish to protect ourselves from being manipulated, used, or violated by others. To set boundaries mean to preserve our integrity, take responsibility for who we are, and to take control of our life.

Compromise is not about giving in, it's about caring enough about the relationship to change a little. Never compromising self or morals, just the things that we are able to change for the better of our love and the relationship.

***Trigger Warning*** This episode contains elements of domestic violence and abuse.  This week Tina is joined by nurses Hanna and Kristen, the hosts of a new podcast called Nurses In The Know. Together they tell you the incredibly sad and disturbing story of an army medic who decided to go to medical school and became a surgeon. In 2011 he met a wonderful young single mother, Jackie Wisniewski, who was working as a medical receptionist while going to nursing school. They moved in together and everything seemed to be picture perfect on the outside. But things are rarely as good as they seem, and it all started to unravel when Jackie tried to leave the relationship. They close the show with another surprise nurse from the past. Sojourner Truth did many wonderful things in her life, not the least of which was working as a nurse.

Zainab Shah, Program Coordinator for Victim Advocacy at University of Delaware, joins us to discuss Sexual Misconduct (which involves dating and domestic violence). She shares why college campuses are at such risk for relationship violence and gives some important takeaways for proper language to use, and a message for anyone who's dealt with relationship violence. For support for sexual assault we recommend RAINN's resources, and this page on The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (or NCADV) has a list of resources for you to check out as well.  The University of Instagram page can be found at @ud_sos and here is the the One Love Foundation website. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/morethanmystats/support

Violence is not an easy topic to discuss. Domestic, workplace, and school violence are on the rise, especially now during the pandemic, where many people are living on the edge. Here are some statistics I gathered from NCADV. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States.1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and 90% of these children are eyewitnesses to this violence. On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide. These statistics are staggering, yet, many women and men are deeply ashamed about being in an abusive relationship or don't know there are resources they can use to help them get out. My guest on today's show, Sabrina Osso is the founder and CEO of OSSO SAFE…Feel safe where you live, work, and play. She is a TEDx Speaker, Domestic Violence Speaker, Real Estate Agent, and Consultant on promoting safety and preventing violence in the workplace, schools, and in places of residence.  Sabrina's personal and professional experience with the subject allows her to bring a unique and holistic approach for employers, landlords, tenants, students, and teachers.  She believes that by combining education and technology, we can save lives and bottom lines. On today's show, we discuss healing from trauma, violence statistics, warning signs of an abusive relationship, how to prevent domestic violence, how to end an abusive relationship, the importance of educating children, and how to practice not being abusive. I am thrilled to have Sabrina on the show today. As a victim of physical and emotional violence myself, I know how hard it is to even admit something like this happened or is happening to you. Know that you're not alone and that once you open up about your experiences, it is very freeing and healing. Go to the session notes of today's episode for resources for violence victims. Now let's meet Sabrina. “Pornography is a huge driver of violence.

We know balance is an enormous topic. It is needed our whole life, or at least we want to achieve it to survive with sanity. As a teen, and as an adult our lives need a little balancing. When we have inner balance, a sense of who we are, the "things" outside of us fall into place easier. We are taught, and learn many ways of coping along the way. We decide and begin to know what balances our scale. We choose our beliefs, the people we want, our careers, family life, our style. As our inner balance stays more level and light, so does our lives. For apple podcasts or itunes find us - Really, life?

Bullies are young and old. They can be found in any social environment. Staying calm, staying away, and consequences for bullies are key in dealing with them. Sharing our struggles with others is very important for ourselves. They are not easy to live with.We want to just go about our days living life, and doing our thing. The last, the very last thing is having to deal with a bully. It is even more troubling when we are just not the type of person that is even capable of dealing with such a interference in our lives. When I went through my own bullying and hazing at work, it was slowly wearing on daily resolve, confidence and even my life in general. I was depressed already and already going through such a sad time and their bullying just made me worse. There is a great link I found for bullying information. (I have included it below.) I hope that if you or someone you know is in such a situation, there are people you can turn to, and can find the strength you need to find peace in your days!Blessings~You can listen to us on itunes and spotify, Instagram @ reallylifepodcast, follow us on fb @ Really, Life? and you can email us @ 20reallylife20@gmail.comDon't let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

Roisin Kearney is an Irish filmmaker from Dublin, Ireland whose most recent film sheds light on the issue of domestic violence. "Run", co-directed and written by Carolyn Grace Cassidy, explores the subtleties to being a victim of a controlling person. Her film highlights the signs of coercive control & emotional abuse after Ireland has taken a huge step and recognized these actions as criminal. Roisin gives us vivid verbal previews of her characters and discusses the scenarios that have served as the archetype. She shares her influences for bringing this project to life. One of these reasons is that 1 in 5 women in Ireland - and 1 in 4 women in the United States - is a victim of domestic abuse. View the trailer for Roisin Kearney's short film, "Run": https://documentfilms.com/our-work/run Its next screening will be at The Flying Broom International Film Festival [flyingbroom.org] in association with @DublinFeministFilmFestival online between May 7-14.

Sparks in Love Domestic abuse is of epidemic proportions. One in four women are currently living in conditions where they are either emotionally, mentally, and/or physically abused. Ten million children are subject to domestic abuse. These are just a few of the awful statistics that present themselves when we look closely at domestic abuse. We don't like to talk about it. We have a tendency to turn our head, our mind, or emotions away from even the though of it...yet the reality is this exists. What is more it doesn't matter what your age, color, income, religion, etc. 1 in 4 women are being abused. Chances are we either know someone, or you are a victim of domestic abuse. Susan Sparks has written a book Spark in Love, detailing the twenty years of her life she spent under the tyranny of her husband abuser. You will probably ask, "why did it take 20 years", she still does not have all those answers, but neither do the one in four women who are being abused. What she can tell you is she is a work in progress. She is still discovering some answers, and rediscovering herself. In so doing she has moved from victim to SODA, Survivor Of Domestic Abuse. Please check out the video from www.thesoda-pop.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzwhphz2WHI A successful business woman, all the money she needs, two beautiful children, a nice home, a phenomenal career. From the outside all that you could ever hope and dream, but on the inside of the home she lives with a jealous, belittling, cruel, money hoarding, control freak. Putting her down at every turn, putting her friends down, even putting her family down, it will amaze you to see the strength that she can actually get up each day and do her job well, much less function. Now after years have gone by. She writes an amazing book. and has started a foundation called SODA www.thesoda-pop.com to help women who are in the midst of domestic abuse get out and get out safely with a plan. Because what you do not know about getting out of domestic abuse is that those that try to get away are often murdered or commit suicide. According to NCADV https://ncadv.org/statistics 72% of all murder- suicides involve an intimate partner. ..94% are women. So if you suspect you are in a domestic violent situation understand that your abuser may have cameras, investigators and other technology watching your every move. So even reading this blog post could be dangerous, because your abuser could be also tracking your cookies and viewing history of what your are reading and looking at. You need to get help, but get professional help, please go to www.thesoda-pop.com where you can find resources to help you get out!

In this episode, we speak with survivor, Rosaura Torres Thomas, author of the book: Abuse Hidden Behind the Badge--a memoir of her life living suffering from the abuse and coercive control of two police officers--one a highly ranked Officer in Philadelphia and, another--a Pennsylvania state trooper.  Our guest, Rosaura, suffered two (2) retinal detachment surgeries stemming from her experiences with domestic violence and has since become an avid activist speaking out against domestic violence and more specifically “The Code of Silence” within police departments.  My conversation with Rosaura explores not only the impact domestic abuse and coercive control had on her, but also, the impact and lasting effects it has had on her children.   Listeners may recall that In Episode 4 of en(gender)ed, we spoke with Ruth Glenn, CEO and President of the NCADV about rates of domestic violence and how certain groups of people commit higher rates than others. National trends show that law enforcement professionals are one such group. Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence in contrast to 10% of families in the general population.   Below are some resources about police and domestic violence: National Center for Women and Policing's "Police Family Violence Fact Sheet" An Atlantic article entitled, "Police Have a Much Bigger Domestic-Abuse Problem than the NFL Does" The "Abuse of Power" website which has resources about police domestic violence for survivors and families A HuffPo article entitled "The Super Predators:  When the Man Who Abuses You is also a Cop" A research article estimating the rate of domestic violence perpetrated by law enforcement A USA Today article entitled, "Domestic abusers:  Dangerous for women and lethal for cops." --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

On our show today, our guest is Ruth M. Glenn, the CEO and President of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).  Previously Ms. Glenn was employed by the Colorado Department of Human Services for 28 years and served as the Director of the Domestic Violence Program (DVP) for the last nine of those years.  Ruth has worked and volunteered in the domestic violence field for over 25 years and holds a Masters' in Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Colorado Denver, Program on Domestic Violence, as well as a BA in Communications. Ms. Glenn has served on many domestic violence program and funding boards, provided hundreds of presentations on domestic violence victimization and survival, testified before the Colorado state legislature and the United States Congress, and provided consultation, training and technical assistance on a local and national level on victim/survivor issues as they relate to domestic violence.  As a survivor, Ruth also often shares her experience to bring awareness about the dynamics of domestic violence. She is here with us on this episode to talk to us about the work she does at the NCADV and to debunk commonly held myths of survivors and abusers and how survivors and advocates like herself can play a vital role in the crafting of a national narrative in this work that is inclusive, empowering and impactful.  We will be speaking with Ruth about the NCADV's role in the creation of the DisarmDV website and partnership which will address gun violence prevention and reform in America, the role of the media in reporting on domestic violence and in particular, its role in gun violence, and her thoughts on the intersection of race, class and gender as it has played out in the NFL's DV and kneeling policies. Here are links to some of the references we discussed in the course of our conversation: LA Times headline for the Santa Fe Shooting And here is a tweeter commenting on the #genderbias in the reporting of the incident: ...and the media's downplaying of the shooter's abusive childhood, which is often minimized or erased as part of #massshooter media coverage.   Here is the letter that Ruth wrote to Sarah Palin when her son, Track, was arrested on domestic violence charges and Ms. Palin blamed President Obama and mental illness as the reason for his behavior. --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

Paul, from Calvary, Alberta, Canada explains that his mother was brought to Canada from India for an arranged marriage.
