Podcasts about One Story

The Version of Me You Loved. Eight years. Eight versions of her. And one question that never stopped echoing: If you met every version of yourself... would you still recognize the one they loved? It began with a $100,000 social media blackout that went terrifyingly wrong. Then came the confession app that tore friendships apart, a cloned identity that blurred her reflection, and a love that was never entirely human. From there, the versions only multiplied. College brought a stranger who changed everything, a forbidden door that should've stayed locked, and a fall through the floor of reality itself. Senior year became a battle against memory and time-a desperate race to piece herself back together before the world forgot who she was. Each year rewrote her. Each version unraveled another truth. And somewhere in the chaos was the version of her that dared to love, to fight, and to remember-the one she had to become to survive them all. But something new has begun to wake inside her reflection.Book link: The Version of Me You Loved | Universal Book Links Help You Find Books at Your Favorite Store!MY LINKTREE OF MY CHILLING WITH DOUBLEB PODCASThttps://linktr.ee/DoubleBPodcastPodcast: https://linktr.ee/DoubleBPodcastVideo Format: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2cDIZnId1ubsVSICGHK4APodcast App: https://podcast.app/chilling-with-doubleb-p1200387/?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=shareAnchor App: https://anchor.fm/chillingwithdoublebApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chilling-with-doubleb/id1512991950?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4an5nDHEFxdWUWCTaQBepUAudible: https://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B0B2TCCSW5&source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=podcast_show_detailAmazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/421a824e-acc8-457f-869f-30acab7a6ce2/chilling-with-doubleb?ref=dm_sh_RTbl87ZI7rL9Vou8xbpcI0h0DSoundCloud: https://Soundcloud.com/smoothdoublebAudiomack: https://audiomack.com/DoubleBGoogle Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xZjBhOThlOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1512991950/chilling-with-doublebListen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chilling-with-doubleb-brandon-bass-sr4WEvzpT5i/RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/chilling-with-doubleb-WlyLn4Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/chilling-with-doublebPocketCasts: https://pca.st/04mc9cxj

I am so happy to have my friend, Peter Bedard joining me again on the Born To Talk Radio Show Podcast.    Meet Peter Bedard. Peter Bedard has an MA in consciousness studies and has extensive training in hypnotherapy and alternative health.  He is a celebrated author, consultant, international speaker, and healer. After a near-death experience, Peter was faced with the greatest challenge of all.  Namley, living a life in severe physical, emotional, and spiritual pain and anxiety. The former dancer soon discovered that the anger, frustration, and anxiety that he felt, because of his injuries, were not only keeping him in pain.  Instead, they were waiting to teach him the greatest gifts of his life. Convergence Healing. This is a amazing, proven 10-point process. Peter explains noninvasive, life-altering practices to help you permanently heal your mind, body, and spirit. His process to heal chronic pain is without prescription medicine. Peter has also written 2 other books that he spoke about on the podcast.    Read more here.       Peter’s Takeaways. “You can heal!  When we heal on all levels of our being, we can create a healing plan for ourselves that is doable and actionable. Every pain, whether it is physical, mental, or spiritual, must be addressed on all of those levels. A broken bone needs to be healed physically AND mentally in the mind.” “A broken heart needs to be healed emotionally on the spirit/energetic level AND in our physical bodies. To neglect any part of the healing process is to neglect ourselves and to force the problem into other parts of our lives.” “Someone newly sober and not drinking, must address the “emptiness” they feel physically and not fill that emptiness with cigarettes or sugar. They must give their body a new way to process the pain that the addiction was hiding and they must address the wound in their heart that was caused by the drinking…not to forget the wound that potentially prompted the drinking.” In Closing. Above all, Peter has helped thousands of people overcome pain and the fearful shadow it has cast over their lives. As a result, he helps his clients to live a life to their full potential.  While at the same time, by integrating the lessons of pain, including  physical, mental, and spiritual lessons into balanced living. Lastly, Peter will share his process of doing so. This includes his process for “Steps for Creating the Life You Want.” Thank you Peter for sharing your story with us.  Conversations + Connections = Community Making the world a better place.  One Story at a time.  What's Your Story?

Miles to talk about his debut children's book, You Matter, Luma—a heart-centered story set in the magical Passion Struck Forest about a quiet little bunny who discovers that her small voice can create big ripples. Drawing from his own childhood experiences with emotional adversity and his work on “mattering,” John created You Matter, Luma to help kids feel seen, valued, and connected. The book is the first in the You Matter series, part of his larger Matteringverse™, and is designed for ages 4–8 as a gentle introduction to self-worth, courage, and kindness. We talk about why emotional education for kids can't be an afterthought, how stories shape a child's inner voice, and practical ways parents, teachers, and caregivers can use Luma's journey to spark conversations about feelings, inclusion, and belonging. If you care about raising kids who know they matter, this is an episode you'll want to share.

As an additional resource for our series, One Story, Pastor Phil and Pastor Justin sat down to discuss some practical application and resources for our journey through the Bible.

Perspective is crazy af because if one person tells a story depending on how they feel about you you can be the good guy in the story but also depending on how another person views you you can be the bad guy in the story.

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason starts 2026 by addressing health, medical freedom, and trust as Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House discuss new federal changes to childhood vaccines. Dr. Victory clarifies these changes, why they matter, and the critical questions they raise about our healthcare system. The conversation reviews COVID-era decisions, accountability, and consequences for doctors who challenged official narratives. Why were dissenting medical voices silenced, and what does that mean for the next public health crisis? The panel also explores preparedness—physical, mental, and intellectual—emphasizing immune health, personal responsibility, and learning from those who “got it right” the first time. The discussion moves from individual health to the broader system, examining healthcare systems, insurance complexity, and why Americans often feel trapped in a model that discourages prevention and rewards confusion. The conversation then links health policy to politics and global power, asking: Are people being protected or managed? As 2026 begins, this hour challenges us to rethink medicine, authority, and who deserves our trust when it matters most. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason intensifies as John is joined by author and commentator Drew Allen (https://x.com/DrewThomasAllen), Author of For Christ and Country: the Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, who speaks openly about political violence and cultural radicalization. Drew reflects on the national reaction to Charlie's death, questioning why violence is selectively condemned—or sometimes celebrated—by ideology. He asks listeners to consider why discussions about transgenderism, mental health, accountability, and extremism are silenced when they clash with progressive narratives. What happens when truth becomes dangerous to express? Later in the hour, John is joined by Jim Paff, President of The Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com/), for a wide-ranging geopolitical deep dive. Jim breaks down U.S. actions in Venezuela, explaining why this moment is legally grounded, strategically different from past interventions, and deeply tied to countering China and Russia's influence in the Western Hemisphere. Is this really about oil—or about restoring stability, freedom, and American leverage closer to home? The hour closes by tying foreign policy to domestic unrest and questioning media narratives about ICE enforcement, paid protests, and failures of political leadership. Are these isolated incidents—or pieces of a much larger puzzle? HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with John Rush and Jerzee Joe ( https://www.jerzeejoe.com/) discussing legacy, leadership, and why character matters more than titles. The hour quickly pivots into high-stakes geopolitics, as Joe breaks down Venezuela, explaining why Nicolás Maduro is not viewed as a legitimate leader and why U.S. action is being mislabeled as “regime change.” Are Americans being misled by selective language and media framing? The focus then turns domestic, exposing government fraud schemes tied to daycare and SNAP programs, and calling out political hypocrisy in major U.S. cities. As the conversation shifts forward, Joe raises a sobering question: Which jobs are about to disappear as humanoid robots and AI reshape the workforce—and which careers are about to explode? In the final stretch, Scott Garliss (https://x.com/CScottGarliss) joins John to unpack economic data that contradicts years of dire predictions. They examine tariffs, inflation, productivity gains, and why AI may be more like the railroad or Model T—disruptive at first, but transformative in the long run, and is the economy stronger than the experts admit?

Follow my journey of transformation, where I've aligned my gifts - storytelling, songwriting, speaking, and mindful walks in nature - with the needs of the world.Stepping back in time, I grew up one of eight children just outside Buffalo, New York. Following the dictates of family and societal programming, I jumped into the world of engineering, earning a Masters of Engineering from University at Buffalo, and a Bachelors of Industrial Engineering at General Motors Institute, now Kettering University. After decades working as an executive for manufacturers in the auto industry and then in information systems, I returned to my early love for how words, music, nature, and beautiful places can enliven the whole landscape of a life. I began to write songs, and stories — speaking and performing them throughout the country, and soon, narrowed my focus to align with my reverence for Earth. https://www.jennifercomeau.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna sits down with psychologist and mental health leader Dr. Max Doshay to explore the identity shift that reshaped both his life and career. Max reflects on how losing a version of himself he once deeply identified with forced him to confront who he was beneath the roles, titles, and expectations he carried. What followed wasn't a straight path, but a series of pivots that led him toward leadership, purpose, and deeper self-awareness. Together, they talk about humility, ambition, and the tension between striving and staying grounded. Max shares what it's like to lead without ego, to build something meaningful without losing yourself in the process, and to remain open when life unfolds differently than planned. This conversation offers a thoughtful look at what can emerge when identity falls away — and something more honest takes its place.Dr. Max's Resources:WebsitesDrMaxDoshay.comMonima Wellness Center Element Q Healing Center Social MediaLinkedIn: Dr. Max DoshayLinkedIn: Monima Wellness CenterInstagram: @drmaxdoshayInstagram: @monimawellnessInstagram: @elementqhealingcenterFacebook: Monima Wellness CenterFacebook: Element Q Healing CenterBooksSecond Firsts by Christina RasmussenThe Road Less Traveled — M.

This week, we begin a new journey as we read through the Bible together. Join us as Pastor Phil Moser provides insight on how to read and apply scripture and grow in our faith.

Welcome to the first Monday in January of 2026.  Happy New Year!  I can’t think of a better way to start the year than with my guest Celeste Barbier. Meet Celeste. Celeste Barbier is a Professional Vocalist, Ordained Minister, and Certified Expert Sound Healer. She is also a women’s group travel curator & leader, and public speaker.  And,  hopefully future published author based in Oceanside, California. Known for a versatile repertoire spanning more than a century of music, Celeste brings warmth, precision, and emotional resonance to corporate events, private celebrations, weddings, and memorials. In doing so she creates experiences that feels both elevated and deeply personal. In 2019 and 2020, Celeste released two professional albums, with one original song gaining strong traction leading into 2020. During the COVID era, she became a daily content creator, beginning with “Quaranteatime,” a series of brief uplifting segments, and expanding into her one-hour show “Celeste's Quest For Her Best Life,” streamed through outlets including The Quarantine Network (TQN) and Palapa TV. In 2022, a profound personal healing experience catalyzed her expanded path in sound healing. She became a Certified Expert Sound Healer and hosted her first sound bath on 11/22/22. Today, she and her wife René Cosby (Reiki Master) offer Resté Sound Healing experiences and curate Resté Getaway For Women.  This is a transformational group travel rooted in relaxation, exploration, culture, and connection. Resté Getaway for Women offers curated, luxury, all-inclusive women-only vacations to unique, once-in-a-lifetime destinatins. Coming in March will be a trip to Thailand.  They focuse on exclusive experiences designed for women by women, rather than being a typical travel agency. They create boutique travel events emphasizing discovery and connection, distinct from general women’s retreats or destination ideas.  In January 2026, Celeste begins her role as Director of Meditation & Music at Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas. Celeste’s Takeaways. “My ‘why’ is to create spaces where people feel safe to soften, reconnect, and remember what matters — through voice, sound, and presence. In an era where the country feels more divided than ever, I'm devoted to the common denominator: music and healing that reunites people across all backgrounds. Healing in the form of connection, peace, nervous system regulation, nostalgia, and remembrance of who we are and why we are here: to love one another.” In Closing. Celeste joined me when I was in the LA Talk Live Studio in 2016.  In fact, here is a link from our show:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKChhMnT8A8. Thank you Celeste for sharing your story with us.  Conversations + Connections = Community Making the world a better place.  One Story at a time.  What's Your Story? I want to share it!     Marsha@borntotalkradioshow.com Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter

How do you stay locked in on one project for eight years? Andrew Ross Sorkin shares what he learned while writing his bestselling book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It Shattered a Nation in today's conversation with Ryan. They talk about what it really takes to write a massive, deeply researched book while juggling a demanding career and family life. Andrew opens up about the fear, insecurity, and obsession that fueled his eight year journey into the world of 1929. Ryan and Andrew get into why writing still feels hard for him, the surprising reality of how much of history comes down to human behavior, and the strange process of trying to understand people who lived a century ago.Andrew Ross Sorkin is a financial columnist for The New York Times and a co-anchor of CNBC's Squawk Box.
