This solo episode explores the quiet places where anorexia meets identity and expression. Dr. Marianne Miller speaks to the lived moments where someone learns to hide parts of themselves and how restriction becomes a language for survival. She examines how identity formation, self-expression, and body-based fear interact in ways that often remain hidden. The episode centers queer, trans, gender-expansive, and questioning listeners along with anyone who has felt pressure to quiet their identity in order to navigate the world. Dr. Marianne describes how anorexia rises when identity feels unsafe, unrecognized, or tightly controlled. She explains how restriction becomes a strategy to manage visibility, vulnerability, dysphoria, and the cultural pressure to stay small. The episode invites listeners to imagine recovery as a process of expanding expression, reclaiming autonomy, and restoring connection to their authentic self. Key Themes in This Episode Dr. Marianne examines the links between anorexia, identity, and self-expression. She describes how gender expectations and cultural norms shape the body story. She explains how queer and trans people often restrict to soften dysphoria or to quiet unwanted attention. She explores the way over-performance and people-pleasing silence authentic expression and strengthen restrictive behavior. She looks at the sensory landscape of anorexia and describes how neurodivergent experiences influence embodiment and identity. She also highlights the role of intersectionality. Race, culture, queerness, disability, and body size shape how someone expresses themself and how safe that expression feels. These intersections help explain why anorexia often becomes a predictable response to environments that restrict identity or punish authenticity. Why This Episode Matters Mainstream conversations about anorexia often focus on food without addressing identity, expression, and cultural pressure. Many listeners learn early that their identity takes up too much space. Many learn that desire, gender expression, and emotional truth need to stay hidden. This episode challenges the idea that anorexia develops inside a vacuum. Instead, it shows how anorexia forms inside relationships, systems, and environments that silence real expression. The episode offers validation for anyone who felt forced to shrink in order to stay safe. It expands the understanding of anorexia so listeners can see their experiences reflected with accuracy, compassion, and liberation. Who This Episode Supports This episode supports listeners who navigate anorexia while holding queer, trans, or gender-expansive identities. It supports people who experience identity suppression or dysphoria and who use restriction to manage that conflict. It supports neurodivergent listeners whose sensory experiences shape their relationship with their body and their identity. It also supports clinicians, loved ones, and community members who want a more accurate and compassionate understanding of anorexia. Resources Mentioned Liberation-based healing models Trauma-informed care Queer embodiment research Neurodivergent eating disorder literature Content Caution This episode discusses anorexia, restrictive eating, identity conflict, gender dysphoria, sexuality, sensory overwhelm, and the lived experience of shrinking to stay safe.

What if the patterns you're trying so hard to change didn't start with you — but they can end with you?In this powerful, heart-opening conversation, I'm joined by Alyssa Scarano, LPC, NCC, founder of The Collective Therapy & Wellness and a deeply compassionate guide for anyone navigating the terrain of trauma, relationships, and emotional healing.Together, we explore the tender, transformative work of breaking generational cycles — the subtle ways childhood wounds shape our relationships, the urge to overexplain in order to feel understood, and the craving for validation that so many high-achieving women silently carry.Alyssa beautifully unpacks how environments that didn't feel emotionally safe can echo into adulthood, influencing how you parent, communicate, and relate to yourself. We talk about the difference between fear and intuition, how to listen to your body instead of just your thoughts, and why pain often becomes the invitation to rise into a new chapter of self-trust.You'll hear us dive into:Generational patterns passed down through silence, survival, or emotional chaosThe longing to feel seen, and what happens when you stop overexplaining and start honoring your truthReparenting yourself while parenting your kidsTrauma-informed ways to rebuild safety in your own bodyWhat it really looks like to cultivate relationships that feel aligned, not drainingThis episode is an invitation to soften into your own healing, rewrite what love looks like, and become the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for.If you're ready to step into a life rooted in self-trust, emotional safety, and authentic connection — this one will land deeply.Connect with Alyssa: website: www.collective-therapy.comInstagram: @live.collective.wellnessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/collective.therapy.wellness/✨ Sacred Boundaries: Scripts for Saying No with Love ✨If you've ever felt the pressure to say “yes” when your whole body was begging you to say “no,” you're not alone. So many high-achieving, heart-centered women struggle with guilt, fear of disappointing others, or worry that boundaries will push people away.But the truth is: boundaries don't break relationships—they strengthen them.

Nifty is poised to kick off the December series on a strong wicket. The GIFT NIFTY is indicating a triple-digit gain following a volatile session on Tuesday. The index failed to hold above 26,000 on expiry day, weighed by selling in banks and heavyweights like Infosys and HDFC Bank, though midcaps continued to outperform. Globally, markets traded higher as Fed rate cut hopes intensified, with reports that Kevin Hassett could be named the next Fed chair. The Nikkei and Kospi climbed, while Alphabet hit record highs on new AI chip developments. Meanwhile, oil prices slipped over 1% on reports of progress toward a Ukraine–Russia peace deal. In today's episode, Nandita Khemka breaks down the top market movers — from Bharti Airtel's $800 million block deal to HCLTech's AI partnership with AWS and fresh approvals for Zydus Lifesciences. Plus, project wins for NCC and IGL, and Excelsoft Technologies is making its stock market debut. Also on the radar — PM Modi inaugurates Safran's aircraft engine facility in Hyderabad, and Tesla opens its first India centre in Gurugram.  Tune in for all this and more in today's Market Minutes — your morning podcast bringing you the top stories to kickstart your trading day, from stocks in the news to macro trends and global market cues.

This is part two of a two part series about what the next steps might be for NCC. For more information about Northfield Community Church in Northfield, MN, go to our website - northfieldcc.org.

On this episode, I sit down with Mark Batterson, my friend, best-selling author, and pastor of National Community Church, for a heartfelt conversation about his inspiring new book, Gradually, Then Suddenly.   Together, we unpack powerful themes from Mark Batterson's life and writing, including the importance of embracing gradual growth, the value of long obedience, and trusting that God works through seasons of waiting just as much as in breakthrough moments. You'll hear real stories of dreaming big, failing and starting over, giving generously, and staying humble and hungry, no matter where you are on your journey.   Whether you're feeling stuck, facing adversity, or struggling to see the fruit of your hard work, this conversation is a reminder that progress often comes "gradually, then suddenly." You'll walk away encouraged to stay faithful, keep growing, and believe that your own breakthrough might be closer than you think.     About Mark, Mark Batterson is the New York Times bestselling author of two dozen adult and children's books including Win the Day, Chase the Lion and A Million Little Miracles. His newest book is Gradually Then Suddenly, How to Dream Bigger, Decide Better, and Leave a Lasting Legacy. More than 10 million of his books are in print in dozens of languages. Mark is also the lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C.

In this "Rewind & Reflect" (previously published) episode, we dive deep into the holistic health practices that empower entrepreneurs to not just survive—but thrive. We explore why self-care is a critical pillar for sustainable success, how rest isn't a luxury but a strategy, the transformative power of self-love and inner work, the role of discipline as a self-respect practice, and the importance of maintaining physical well-being when you're in the driver's seat of your business. Our guest is the insightful and compassionate therapist Jenay Hicks (MS, LPC, NCC). Jenay believes fundamentally in the human capacity to self-actualize—meaning to reach our fullest potential—and works with clients to clarify their “why” and navigate paths toward deeper fulfillment both personally and professionally. She highlights how many high-achievers look like they've “got it all together” on the outside, yet are running on fumes underneath—masking exhaustion and anxiety in the name of performance. Whether you're building a startup, scaling your service business, or leading a creative venture, this episode offers you the tools and mindset to reimagine success: one where your health, purpose, and profit all rise together. Tune in and leave not only inspired—but equipped to make holistic health your competitive advantage. Learn more and connect with Jenay Hicks at: jenayhicks.com

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoThe crew is back on board the bridge of the starship Enterprise.Captain James, Commanders Josh and John, and Lt. Joe are ready to run a full diagnostic on season three of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.With practiced Star Fleet precision they dissect the season recounting the highs and lows that Captain Pike and his crew experienced in theirten episode trek.    Did season three live up to the quality of seasons one and two?    What were the Mint Crew's favorite episodes?    Were there any clankers? Dunsels?    Too much comedy, fantasy, and magic?    Are ten episodes per season enough ground to explore thecharacters and settings in Strange New Worlds?    Can logic be "gifted" through pharmacology, or is it a "learned" trait?    What is the true mission of StarFleet?    Where is Science Fiction going in a world where technology may be outdistancing humanity?    What classic Star Trek characters do the crew want to see come aboard in season four?     And most importantly--Where is Joe's "western" episode?    All this, and a lot more, were discussed with clarity, commitment, and some comedic cleverness as the crew went where no podcast has gone before (Well, since the last Trek podcast episode.). So, come and join the command crew in the swanky new bar on NCC-1701, but be careful what you order. Remember, Romulan Ale is still illegal. Unless of course you find your way to Scotty's cabin.
