Podcasts about Normal

Some hauntings don't cling to a house. They cling to a bloodline. Kenny grew up knowing something watched his family long before he was born — a quiet, persistent shape that seemed to move with them from home to home, decade after decade. He always thought it was just his burden… until the day his wife began seeing something too. Something standing over the crib. Something gliding down the hallway. Something patient enough to wait in the corners and watch. Then, for years, nothing. Silence. Normal life. Until one night at 2:45 a.m., when an orb the size of a softball drifted across his man cave as if checking whether he was still awake. Until blankets moved on their own. Faucets turned themselves on. A smoke detector wailed in a voice no smoke detector should have. Whether it's the same entity or something new, one thing is clear: It knows exactly where to find him. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #ShadowPeople #HatMan #HauntedFamily #ParanormalActivity #GhostStories #CreepyEncounters #Orbs #HauntedHouse #Supernatural #WichitaHauntings Love real ghost stories?

Bitcoin is stuck. The market feels heavy. Sentiment is terrible. And yet, none of the traditional bull-market top signals have fired. Not a single one. In Episode 796, Joel and Travis dig into one of the strangest phases Bitcoin has ever entered. A trillion dollars has fallen off the crypto market cap since early October, ETF flows have flipped negative, liquidity is thinning out, and institutions are repositioning. But at the same time, the larger macro picture, historical drawdowns, and long-term adoption trends point to something very different. Is this the end of the bull run? Or is this exactly what a mid-cycle flush looks like—painful, confusing, and full of mixed signals? In this episode we cover:• Why liquidity is disappearing and how it affects every chart• ETF outflows, BlackRock’s massive selling week, and what it really means• Why none of the historical bull-run peak indicators have triggered• How macro forces, Japan’s rate shifts, and global pressure ripple into crypto• What Apple, Nvidia, and on-device AI reveal about where the tech cycle is headed• Why Bitcoin repeat patterns matter—and why they don’t• The psychological trap of watching the market every day This is a grounded, straight-talk conversation about the state of the market — the kind of conversation Joel and Travis used to have before the podcast even existed. Crypto goes up. Crypto goes down. The chart keeps moving. And your favorite blockheads are still here, from Dubai to Puerto Rico. Listen, comment, debate, and tell us what you think the market is about to do next. Stay bad.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Friends~  Recently, I got a written message from a listener who wrote, ‘My husband is Serbian and speaks Serbian to our son. I speak English, but I don't speak Serbian well. Our little one is just 17 months and very vocal — but in my expat group, parents worry their bilingual kids might be confused. How young is too young for two languages? And how old is too old for 2 languages?”  It's such a good question — and one that so many families wonder about.

A huge week in the Coulson household — ADHD dilemmas, graduation milestones, big Roblox safety updates, and a brutally honest conversation about whether homeschooling is finally over. In this episode, we unpack the emotional load of parenting when life feels stretched thin, and why the choices we make for our kids rarely come with simple answers. KEY POINTS ADHD medications, family wellbeing, and the real question behind parental burnout Why “child problems” are often “environment problems” A major Roblox safety update parents need to know about Graduation highs, formal prep… and food poisoning A heartfelt mother–daughter conversation about going back to school How exploration conversations help kids feel heard (and make decisions they trust) QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "We’ve got to stop blaming the child — most of the time it’s not a child problem, it’s an environment problem."

In this episode, we unpack the real truth about knee flexion after ACL surgery — what's normal, what's not, and how much it actually matters in your recovery. We break down the key milestones you should hit, why extension still reigns supreme early on, and the single most useful test you can do at home to track your progress. You'll learn why some athletes regain full flexion quickly while others take months, how swelling and your symptom profile influence the timeline, and why small daily “microdoses” of mobility work outperform long, heavy sessions. If you've ever felt behind, unsure, or confused about your flexion range, this episode gives you the clarity and reassurance you need.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Brad Rapking looks to the end of the year and reacts to Nvidia (NVDA) and Walmart (WMT) earnings. “We're probably in a bubble of people calling for bubbles…there's always going to be a bit of froth in new technologies,” he says, saying pullbacks are healthy. He sees a “positive wealth effect” with markets at highs that he thinks will support consumer spending even as jobs weaken. He also covers some strategies for investing in options-based ETFs.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

My guest today is Ari Emanuel. Ari runs one of the most influential portfolios in global sports, entertainment, and media. He oversees TKO, which includes the UFC and WWE, serves as the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and recently founded MARI, a new company focused on global events and live experiences. At the center of this conversation is Ari's anti-AI bet: as AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the value will increasingly concentrate in live and physical experiences. He explains how he's building his portfolio around that belief, what defines a great live experience, and how he thinks about AI's impact on content and IP. Ari is best known as a dealmaker, and he shares the principles behind his success – relentless follow-up, over-communication, velocity, and an obsession with making things happen – and how those things become the operating system he uses today. If you're listening to this, I recommend watching the video of this interview. Ari's energy is constant and visceral, and gives a different dimension to this episode.

I have lots of thoughts to share today of things I think we should normalize.    Things that aren't considered normal in general in the world we live in and I'm going to argue my point of why I think they should be.   For us and for our families and for the people around us.   Because our goal is to always strive for fulfillment and joy and health and longevity and peace of mind and all of these ideas I'm going to present to you today support all of that.   I'm going to get heat for some of these and I love it because its against the grain and thinking for ourselves and being exceptional.      Things To Normalize Normalize saying no to cheap dopamine and yes to deep dopamine. Joy comes from doing what you're built to do. Action over distraction. Delay instant gratification for meaningful payoff. Bring your own food places when you don't like the options. Take ownership of your choices instead of settling for what's easy. Assume people will make mistakes and ask questions, double check things, and take notes. It's not negative. It's responsible. Normalize working hard, including on weekends, when you're pursuing something you believe in. Showing up when it counts matters. Especially at unconventional hours. Normalize not drinking until you throw up. Choose self mastery and presence instead of blackout culture. Clarity over blur. Presence over party. Normalize not having sex until you find someone you deeply respect or want to build a life with. Choose what matches your values instead of what culture expects. Normalize starting something brand new and taking big risks, even when people think it's strange. Launch even when you're scared. Normalize celebrating your wins as big as birthdays. If it mattered to you, it's worth celebrating. Normalize working out seven days a week with rest and stretch built in. Movement is medicine. Make it a daily non negotiable. Normalize questioning teachers, institutions, and systems when something doesn't make sense. Stand up for your kids and yourself with confidence and curiosity. Normalize using your calendar as your measure of wealth. Time matters more than money. Protect it. Normalize defining success for yourself. Choose your own values and live by them with confidence. Normalize being loud, opinionated, and real when something matters. Speak up. Be fiery. Be aligned. Normalize rest and recovery as essential parts of working hard. Rest is productive. Rest gives you your edge. Normalize letting your kids see you hustle, fail, pivot, and rise. Show the process, not perfection. Normalize doing things you're not good at yet. The climb has no peak. Let yourself be a beginner. Normalize saying "I don't know." Honesty and humility create real strength. Normalize choosing your inner circle intentionally. Your environment shapes your growth. Curate it well. Normalize early mornings, disciplined schedules, and foundational habits. Keep life simple and focused. Normalize embracing pain and discomfort as signs you're growing. Lean into growth rather than backing away from it. Normalize enjoying the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. Appreciate the now. Joy lives in the doing. Normalize aligning your body, mind, and spirit with your purpose. Success includes health, relationships, and inner peace. Normalize valuing your health as highly as you value your work. Health is foundational to everything else. Normalize being different, weird, or exceptional. Normal actions get normal results. Stand out proudly. Normalize prioritizing sleep, recovery, and emotional wellbeing. Rest deeply and intentionally. Normalize teaching your kids to build their own path. Encourage their independence and confidence. Normalize celebrating vulnerability, asking for help, and being transparent about your journey. Choose authenticity over perfection.   CHEERS to creating your own normal that makes your life more awesome!

Join us at: www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastStep through a cemetery gatehouse, a crumbling 1800s Texas mill, and a totally normal-looking lake house that secretly hides a full Phantom-of-the-Opera–style auditorium in its basement… welcome back to Haunted Zillow.In this episode of The Most Haunted City on Earth, Madison Timmons, Chris Soucy, and the ever-pickled Pickles explore three real-life Zillow listings that genuinely feel built to be haunted:• Union Cemetery Gatehouse (Bellefonte, PA) — Featured on HGTV's “Scariest House in America,” complete with self-locking doors, phantom footsteps, toys activating on their own, and a disembodied “shh shh” heard over a crying baby. Oh — and the former owner is buried on the property.• Langs Mill (Doss, Texas) — A 19th-century mill on 300+ acres full of crooked barns, old machinery, graffiti from kids in the 50s and 80s, fey-feeling creek beds, and Confederate-era history that absolutely left a mark.• The Lake Michigan Organ House — A sweet little lakeside ranch hiding a massive Victorian-style music auditorium beneath it, with balcony seating and one of the largest Wurlitzer pipe organs ever made. Vampire cult vibes included.We break down the hauntings, the strange histories, the design choices that feel too cursed, and what it would be like to actually live in these places. Plus: updates on our RØDE Creator of the Year nomination, behind-the-podiums talk about our new improv series The Other Side Show, and some love to our Parajunkies for keeping this show alive.

We talk about our regular lives to start off our Tuesday.

In this deeply moving and thought-provoking episode, Elisabeth speaks with Despo Pavlou, author of the powerful debut novel "My Kind of Normal."Born in South Africa to Greek Cypriot parents who immigrated there in the 1960s, Despo grew up between two worlds, steeped in tradition yet surrounded by the vibrant diversity of South African life. Her cross-cultural upbringing and her lifelong journey between Cyprus and South Africa gave her a unique perspective on identity, belonging, and the courage to be yourself.For more than 30 years, Despo ran her own businesses, but it was during a challenging period in her life that she turned to writing, a creative outlet that became both healing and liberating. My Kind of Normal tells the story of Irene, a woman born into a conservative Greek-Cypriot family, who struggles to reconcile her true identity with societal expectations. It's a story of love, denial, courage, and ultimately, self-acceptance.In this candid conversation, Elisabeth and Despo discuss:✨ The immigrant experience and what it means to grow up between cultures✨ How writing became a form of therapy and self-discovery✨ The challenges of breaking free from traditional roles and expectations✨ The taboo of homosexuality in conservative communities and why Cyprus still needs a major upgrade in terms of acceptance, empathy, and education✨ How personal courage can inspire others to live their truth without shameDespo's story is one of resilience and authenticity, a reminder that “normal” is different for everyone, and that love, in all its forms, deserves understanding and respect.As Despo beautifully puts it:“We need to stop hiding behind fear and tradition. We are all human and love should never be a taboo.”This episode is a heartfelt exploration of courage, compassion, and what it truly means to live authentically.

In this powerful episode of the Savage Perspective Podcast, a shocking truth is revealed: your child is more likely to be targeted online than on the street. Host Robert Sikes sits down with Nate Lewis, a former Hollywood insider turned child trafficking abolitionist, to uncover the dark digital world where predators hunt. Episode 832 exposes how social media algorithms can lead these monsters directly to your kids, what they do to gain trust, and the one conversation every parent must have to make their child a hard target. This is the untold story of modern child exploitation that most parents are completely unaware of.More info on The Innocent: https://theinnocent.org/Find The Innocent on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theinnocent.usaProtecting your family starts with being strong in mind and body.

Melissa has helped tens of thousands of families feel more confident supporting their child's speech and language at home. In this episode, we talk about:The most common speech concerns parents haveHow common late talking actually is – and how many kids catch up on their ownWhat typical speech and language milestones look like (with realistic ranges, not scary rigid cutoffs)What really counts as a “word” (animal sounds, “uh-oh,” “wawa” for water, etc.)Simple ways to encourage language at home: narrating, following your child's lead, using sign, music, and booksWhy screens displace real-life interaction Myth-busting:“Boys just talk later.”“Two languages will confuse my child.”“The older sibling talks for them, that's why they're delayed.”“They're just being stubborn and refusing to use their words.”If you're worried about your child's speech, or just want to be proactive, this episode is meant to reassure you, give you concrete benchmarks, and remind you that needing support doesn't mean anything is “wrong” with your child. Your child is normal – and there is so much you can do at home to help them communicate and feel understood. Connect with Melissa / Raising Little Talkers®:Website & blog: raisinglittletalkers.com raisinglittletalkers.comFree class: “Help your toddler say more words” – learn the 5-step Little Talkers® method

Do you wish people a "Happy Thanksgiving," before Thanksgiving? Jon thinks that it is time for us to start. Plus, a new Normal or Nope. Also, with the penny no longer being produced, will you start picking it up off the ground?

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela look back on the final night of the show, opening with a candid reflection on closing out 330 episodes and the community that formed around the series. They revisit the early days at the studio, outline how the team first connected, and share honest gratitude for the audience that followed them through each stage of the project. As the conversation deepens, the hosts unpack the evolution of the show's sketches, the unexpected moments that became recurring bits, and the creative rhythm that carried them from their earliest parodies to their most ambitious pieces. They explore the trial-and-error of writing comedy together, the spontaneous riffs that shaped entire episodes, and the energy that built around their behind-the-scenes process. The episode expands into a long series of farewell messages from comics, creators, musicians, and returning guests, offering a broad portrait of the relationships built throughout the run of the show. The hosts close by highlighting the essential contributions of the off-camera crew and by expressing sincere thanks to the viewers who supported the show from its first day to its final moment.

"Lindsey, I hate my stomach. I can't stop thinking about it. It's ruining my day, my mood, my recovery. What do I do?" If your stomach is your biggest trigger in recovery - if you can't stop looking at it, obsessing over whether it looks bigger, spiraling every time you see your reflection - this episode is for you, girlfriend. Host Lindsey Nichol gets real about stomach hate in recovery and shares something her client needed to hear today: "I may not love my stomach every day, but if I'm being honest? I didn't love my stomach every day when I was in the trenches of my eating disorder either." So here's the question: Which hard do you want? Hard #1: Hating your stomach while you're restricting, obsessing, body checking, over-exercising, and missing your life. Hard #2: Sometimes not loving your stomach, but being FREE. Living your life. Eating with family. Being present. Having energy. Both are hard. But only one leads to freedom. In this episode, Lindsey shares her own stomach struggles - how she used to search for evidence it was "blowing up," how it would send her into spirals of restriction and over-exercise, and what she does NOW on the days when she doesn't love her stomach. Plus, she gives you 7 practical tools you can use on your hardest days. This is real talk with practical help. No toxic positivity. No "just love yourself." Just honest truth and actionable tools for when your stomach triggers you. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Lindsey's Stomach Story: The Disorder Days How she was super conscious of her stomach feeling or looking bigger Searching for evidence it was "blowing up" - every mirror, reflection, window The spirals: restriction, over-exercise, mood switches Feeling out of control and reacting - being short or avoidant with loved ones How stomach hate controlled her entire day, every day The Truth Bomb: Choose Your Hard Hard #1: Hating your stomach while trapped in the eating disorder Hard #2: Sometimes not loving your stomach but being FREE The reality: Even at her lowest weight, Lindsey STILL didn't love her stomach The question: What other options do you have? Why you have to choose which hard you want to live with Why the Stomach Specifically? Why the stomach is such an easy target for self-criticism How society and social media have trained us to hate our stomachs Why the stomach becomes the "safe" target instead of dealing with real feelings The truth: Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE (digestion, bloating) Reality check: Stomachs are SUPPOSED to change throughout the day Aren't stomachs supposed to be FULL? That's their job What Lindsey Does NOW on Hard Days Wears baggy clothes, not restrictive clothing Avoids opportunities to stare in the mirror and body check Reminds herself of the truth: stomachs are allowed to change Thinks about her little girl self who never cared about her stomach Remembers being pregnant and LOVING watching her stomach grow Accepts that not loving her stomach doesn't mean she's failed The Shift That Changed Everything The realization: She was NEVER going to like her stomach at any size or weight Her stomach wasn't the problem - it was a tool for self-sabotage Used stomach hate when feeling out of control or "not enough" The only way through was acceptance and perspective shift Understanding that stomach hate is usually about something else entirely 7 Tools for Your Hardest Days Stop the Body Checking - Walk away from mirrors, put on baggy clothes Ask the Real Question - What am I really feeling? What am I avoiding? Function Over Form - Your stomach digests food, that's its job Remember Your Little Girl Self - You didn't care about your stomach as a kid Choose Your Hard - Trapped and hating it OR free and sometimes not loving it Wear Comfortable Clothes - Stop punishing yourself with restrictive clothing Talk Back to the Voice - "My stomach is allowed to change and that's okay" Key Takeaways: ✨ You didn't love your stomach in the disorder either - so what are you really choosing? ✨ There are two hards: choose yours - trapped with stomach hate OR free with occasional stomach discomfort ✨ Your stomach is not the problem - it's a symptom, a distraction from real feelings ✨ Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE - bloating, digestion problems increase with restriction ✨ Stomachs are supposed to change - throughout the day, after meals, when sitting vs standing ✨ The stomach is an easy target - easier to hate your stomach than deal with underlying fears ✨ You'll never be satisfied at any size - if stomach hate is really about control and self-sabotage ✨ Body checking makes it worse - the more you look, the more you spiral ✨ Function over form - your stomach's job is to digest food, not be flat 24/7 ✨ Little girl you didn't care - the goal isn't loving your stomach, it's living without it controlling you ✨ You don't have to love it to live - freedom doesn't require stomach love, just stomach acceptance Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "I may not love my stomach every day, but if I'm being honest? I didn't love my stomach every day when I was in the trenches of my eating disorder either" "Your stomach is a huge pain point in recovery. I get it. I've been there. It's real, it's valid, and it's one of the hardest parts" "I would search - like literally SEARCH - for evidence that it was blowing up" "My mood would switch on a dime. I'd feel totally out of control" "Your stomach doesn't have to control you. It doesn't have to dictate your mood, your choices, or your day" "Both are hard. But which hard do you want?" "Even at my lowest weight, I STILL didn't love my stomach. Even then. Even at my sickest" "So what other options do you have? Stay in the disorder and hate your stomach, or recover and sometimes not love it but have your LIFE back" "The stomach is easy for us to tear ourselves apart over" "Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE. When you're not eating enough, your digestion slows down. You get more bloated" "Aren't stomachs supposed to be full? That's their job. To hold food. To digest. To nourish you" "I was never going to like my stomach. No matter my size. No matter my weight" "Hating my stomach wasn't actually about my stomach. It was just a part of me that I used to self-sabotage when I felt out of control or not enough" "When you hate your stomach, ask yourself: What am I really afraid of right now?" "99% of the time, it's not actually your stomach" "You don't have to love your stomach to live your life. You don't have to love your stomach to recover" "Your stomach is not the enemy. Your stomach is just a stomach. It's allowed to exist. It's allowed to change. It's allowed to be full" "Choose your hard, girlfriend. Choose freedom" The 7 Tools Explained: Tool #1: Stop the Body Checking When you feel the urge to look in the mirror, pull your shirt tight, or analyze your stomach - STOP. Literally stop. Walk away. Do something else. Put on baggy clothes. The more you body check, the worse the obsession gets. Tool #2: Ask the Real Question Stop asking "Why does my stomach look like this?" and start asking "What am I really feeling right now? What am I avoiding?" Get to the root. Your stomach is almost never the actual problem. Common real feelings underneath stomach hate: Feeling out of control in some area of life Fear about something coming up Feeling "not enough" in comparison to others Anxiety about a situation Avoiding deeper emotional work Tool #3: Function Over Form Remind yourself: Your stomach digests food. It nourishes you. It expands when you eat because that's its JOB. It's not supposed to be flat 24/7. That's not realistic, healthy, or even possible. Tool #4: Remember Your Little Girl Self You didn't care about your stomach as a kid. You just lived. You played. You ate. You didn't analyze your body. THAT is the goal - not loving your stomach every day, just LIVING without it controlling you. Also remember: When you were pregnant (if applicable), you LOVED watching your stomach grow. You celebrated what your body could do. Why do you hate it now? Tool #5: Choose Your Hard On the hard days, say this out loud: "I can hate my stomach and be trapped in restriction, obsession, and isolation - OR I can sometimes not love my stomach but be FREE to live my life. Which hard do I want?" Tool #6: Wear Comfortable Clothes Stop punishing yourself with restrictive clothing. Stop wearing things that make you hyper-aware of your stomach all day. Wear what feels good. Your comfort matters more than how your stomach looks. Baggy clothes aren't "giving up" - they're choosing peace. Tool #7: Talk Back to the Voice When that critical voice says "Your stomach is too big," you talk back with truth: "My stomach is allowed to change" "My stomach is doing its job" "My stomach does not define my worth" "I didn't love my stomach at my lowest weight either, so this isn't about size" "Stomachs are supposed to be full" Questions to Reflect On: About Your Stomach Hate: When did you first start hating your stomach? What do you do when you hate your stomach? (body check, restrict, over-exercise, avoid people?) Does hating your stomach actually solve anything? Did you love your stomach at your lowest weight? (Be honest) About the Real Feelings: What are you REALLY feeling when you hate your stomach? What are you avoiding by focusing on your stomach? When does stomach hate show up most? (after meals, stressful situations, comparison moments?) What would happen if you couldn't focus on your stomach anymore - what would you have to deal with? About Your Choices: Which hard do you want: trapped and hating it OR free and sometimes not loving it? What is stomach hate costing you? (relationships, experiences, peace, presence?) What would change if your stomach wasn't your focus anymore? Are you ready to stop letting your stomach control your life? About Your Little Girl Self: When was the last time you thought about your body the way you did as a little girl? What would little-girl-you think about how much time you spend hating your stomach? What did you do with your time before stomach hate consumed you? Who This Episode Is For: This episode is essential listening if you: Hate your stomach and it's ruining your recovery Can't stop body checking your stomach throughout the day Search for "evidence" your stomach is getting bigger Spiral into restriction or over-exercise when you hate your stomach Let your stomach dictate your mood, choices, and entire day Feel triggered by your stomach after every meal Compare your stomach to everyone else's Thought you'd love your stomach in recovery but you don't Feel like your stomach is the one body part you can't accept Need real talk and practical tools, not toxic positivity Are stuck between hating your stomach in the disorder vs. sometimes not loving it in freedom Need permission to not love your stomach but live your life anyway Important Truths About Stomachs in Recovery: Stomachs Change Throughout the Day: Flatter in the morning Fuller after meals Different when sitting vs. standing Bloated sometimes (especially in recovery) This is NORMAL and HEALTHY Restriction Makes It Worse: Slows digestion Increases bloating Creates more discomfort Makes you MORE obsessed with your stomach Stomach Hate Is Usually About Something Else: Control issues Fear and anxiety Feeling "not enough" Comparison to others Avoiding deeper feelings You Didn't Love It at Your Lowest Weight Either: If you still hated your stomach at your sickest, size isn't the issue Stomach hate is a symptom, not the problem No amount of restriction will make you love it Function Over Form: Your stomach's job is to digest food It's supposed to expand after eating It's supposed to be FULL Flat stomachs 24/7 are not realistic or healthy What Lindsey Does Now (Practical Examples): Morning Routine: Puts on comfortable, baggy clothes first thing Avoids standing in front of mirror analyzing Brushes teeth, does hair, moves on Doesn't give herself opportunity to spiral After Meals: Expects stomach to be fuller - that's its job Reminds herself: "Stomachs are supposed to be full" Doesn't body check or analyze Focuses on how she FEELS, not how she LOOKS On Triggering Days: Acknowledges: "I don't love my stomach today and that's okay" Asks: "What am I really feeling? What's really bothering me?" Remembers: "I didn't love it in the disorder either - choose your hard" Takes action on the real feeling instead of obsessing about stomach Clothing Choices: Wears what feels comfortable, not what's restrictive Doesn't punish herself with tight clothes Chooses outfits that let her focus on living, not analyzing The "Choose Your Hard" Framework: Hard Option #1: Hating Your Stomach While Trapped Constant body checking Restriction and over-exercise Mood swings and irritability Avoiding loved ones Missing life experiences Obsessive thoughts Still hating your stomach anyway Hard Option #2: Sometimes Not Loving It But Being Free Eating meals with family Having energy for life Being present in moments Not spending hours body checking Living without constant obsession Having relationships Experiencing joy Still sometimes not loving your stomach The Question: Which hard do you want?

What does a normal Thanksgiving dinner look like for you and your family? Does it have all the fixings and smell just like grandma's house when you were growing up? Is it always exclusive to family?

Jim and I would like to challenge you to have your last normal Thanksgiving last year. May last year be the final year when your Thanksgiving celebration didn't include your neighbors. This year we challenge you to invite people into your life and into your Thanksgiving celebration that would otherwise be home alone, probably not even celebrating Thanksgiving.

We spend so much energy trying to silence anxiety. But what if it isn't an enemy to defeat—what if it's a signal to understand? This week, Dr. Alison talks with Dr. Bethany Teachman, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Virginia and director of the PACT Lab, about what healthy anxiety looks like, why it's actually useful, and how to stop letting it run your life.  Dr. Teachman explains how to know when anxiety is becoming a problem and shares practical ways to calm anxious thoughts, build resilience, and approach your fears with curiosity instead of control. She says, “Anxiety is uncomfortable, but it's not dangerous, when you stop treating it like a threat, it loses its power over you.” You'll learn: The difference between healthy anxiety and unhealthy anxiety How to recognize when your threat response doesn't match the situation Why trying to “get rid” of anxiety often makes it worse How reframing challenges as opportunities builds resilience Why doom-scrolling keeps us trapped in fear Check out more free resources on anxiety: TYDE (Thriving Youth in a Digital Environment) — A University of Virginia initiative co-directed by Dr. Teachman focused on youth, technology, and mental health.

Have you ever looked around and wondered how everyone else seems to have such an easy, peaceful relationship with food? They order what they want at restaurants, stop when they're full, and move on with their day. Meanwhile, you're stuck in your head, negotiating with yourself, worrying about how much you ate, or planning the next meal before you've even finished this one. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Listen to the full episode to learn how you can start to rebuild trust with your body, release food guilt, and finally feel more at ease around eating; one meal, one moment, one connection at a time. Tweetable Quotes "Eating is not just a means to nourish yourself. It is a means to connect." - Rachelle Heinemann "The very first thing is you need structure. Because we can't really play around if we're not eating enough. And when we play around with our food, then we play around with our hunger fullness cues." - Rachelle Heinemann "What we're doing is shifting from our bodies and our meal plans as something to control and shifting to our bodies as something to listen to." - Rachelle Heinemann "It's not about getting it right, it's about just rebuilding these lines of communication." - Rachelle Heinemann "Your food choices don't define your worth." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Bergen Mental Health Group Inc. is hiring!

Toda familia es, en cierta medida, un poco disfuncional, porque está formadas por personas, y las personas estamos agrietadas, rotas. Aun el rey David, que triunfó en muchas áreas, fue un desastre en su hogar. David mantuvo sus propias heridas sin sanar, heredándole su daño a las siguientes generaciones. No cometamos nosotros el mismo error. No descuidemos ni olvidemos a nuestros hijos; ellos necesitan tanto de amor como de disciplina. Recuerda que lo que sembremos hoy en nuestra familia, lo cosecharemos mañana en nuestros hijos.
