Podcasts about open conversation

As a teen leadership coach and a parent of two teenage boys, I've seen firsthand the struggles teens face—and the frustrations parents feel trying to connect with them. From privacy concerns (like knocking before entering their rooms) to trust issues surrounding phones and social media, and even more serious challenges like vaping, the underlying issue always seems to come back to one question: How are we engaging with our teens?       I often hear parents say, “I get it—we had no training for this technology. We're learning as we go, and we're probably getting it wrong.” And that's okay. What matters most is that we start listening—really listening—to our teens.       When Was the Last Time You Had a Real Conversation with Your Teen?   Not just the usual “How was your day?” followed by a one-word response. I mean a genuine, open-ended conversation where they felt heard and understood.       Many teens don't feel comfortable talking to their parents because they're afraid of how we'll react. My 17-year-old shared that a lot of his friends feel trapped in vaping addictions but won't talk to their parents out of fear. Instead of seeking help, they silently accept the health risks because they don't believe their parents will support them—only punish them.       When my own son struggled with vaping, he told me he initially did it to fit in and to ease his anxiety. That terrified me. How could something so harmful be seen as a solution? Later, he admitted it was actually making things worse, but at the time, he knew telling me it helped with anxiety would make me listen. And it did.             Trusting Your Teen—Not to Be Perfect, But to Make Mistakes   Every child needs something different from their parents. One of my sons values privacy; the other benefited from having his door removed when he was struggling. It wasn't about punishment—it was about connection and accountability. We have to trust our teens—not to always make the right choices, but to come to us when they don't.       When my kids get in trouble at school, I don't double down with additional punishments at home. I remember being grounded as a teen—it didn't stop me from making mistakes, but it did teach me to hide them better. Instead of reacting based on fear or our own reputations, we need to help our teens navigate their mistakes and learn from them.   How Do You Want Me to Help You an Open Conversation?   Not every issue is life-threatening. Some are as small as not knocking before entering their room. Others, like phone usage and social media, are bigger. But in all cases, the key is to ask, listen, and engage.   Start by asking: How do you want me to help you figure this out?  How do you want me to listen to you?  How am I showing up for you?       As parents, we make the final decisions, but giving our teens a voice in the conversation makes all the difference. If we create a space where they feel safe to talk—where honesty is met with understanding instead of just consequences—they'll be more likely to come to us when it matters.       I have found the biggest way to bring your teen home to talk to you is by being honest about your own mistakes. Show them that learning, growing, and making better choices is a lifelong process.

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, a retired U.S. Army Ranger and former psychology professor at West Point, is widely known for his book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. The book delves into the emotional and psychological impact that killing has on soldiers, and it introduced the concept of "killology"—the study of how taking a life affects the human mind. Grossman suggests that humans naturally resist killing, and that military training has evolved to help soldiers overcome this resistance. His research has significantly influenced military and police training programs, although some of his theories have sparked debate among scholars and critics.EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Background of Lt.

Today's episode was a wild ride! Hosts Joe and David brought the heat, joined by guest Patrick Reilly—a self-described liberal with plenty to say. The conversation kicked off with Patrick diving into his take on the MAGA movement and unloading some sharp criticisms of Trump's agenda. Agree or disagree, he didn't hold back. Things got spicy fast as the trio clashed over Trump's tariffs, the J6 trials, trans issues, and a whole lot more. Tensions flared, voices rose, and the live audience? Let's just say they weren't exactly sending love notes. Amid the chaos, one question lingered: can common ground even be found in debates this raw? You'll have to decide for yourself. After Patrick signed off, Joe and David shifted gears, diving into how Xi Jinping might regret not brushing up on The Art of the Deal before tangling with Trump in a trade war. Trump's Liberation Day tariffs? A masterstroke, they argued—pure genius designed to squeeze China by isolating its allies. The takeaway: anyone siding with Xi could be in for an economic reckoning. The episode wrapped with some much-needed laughs, leaving us all a little lighter after the rollercoaster.

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with the incredibly open-hearted Rudi Landman, a non-binary practitioner and advocate whose wisdom, gentleness, and honesty made this one of the most soul-nourishing conversations I’ve had. Together, we explore what it truly means to live authentically, even when the world doesn’t make space for your truth. Rudi speaks candidly about their journey, the nuances of gender identity, and the power of choosing to live fully, because life is short and we all deserve to be ourselves. As my first conversation with someone who identifies as non-binary, this episode was a personal learning moment for me. Rudi graciously held space as I asked open, sometimes clumsy, but heartfelt questions about language, identity, and what it means to feel seen. This episode is not just about gender. It’s about humanity, tenderness, and the beauty of being authentically YOU. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the podcast is the return of Sophia and Victoria Rodriguez from Mercer Island High School. The last time I had them on the podcast was last February and since then, Sophia has won 3 state titles, Victoria won a national title in the steeplechase, they finished 8th and 12th at NXN, and Victoria is committed to run at Wake Forest University next fall. So, there's a lot to unravel. We discuss what it's like with it being Victoria's final year of high school running and how their sibling relationship is going to change, what it was like for Sophia to win a state title individually, and as a team on both the boys' and girls' side, their NXN experience in the mud, the importance of a mental reset, as well as how they are able to maintain joy in running despite the challenges that the sport brings. Please give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Sophia and Victoria Rodriguez

Mental health awareness has undergone a remarkable transformation in Jewish communities over recent years, and today's guest, Rabbi Yoni Rosensweig, has been at the forefront of this change. Through his groundbreaking work integrating mental health into a halakhic framework and his book 'Nafshi Bishe'elati,' he has helped create a new language for discussing mental health within Orthodox Judaism. While his work has taken on additional urgency in the context of the current war in Israel, Rabbi Rosensweig's mission to destigmatize mental health challenges and provide halakhic guidance for those struggling began long before, and continues to shape how Orthodox communities approach these crucial issues.

We are joined by 100-year young WWII 31st Bomb Squad B-24 "Big Buff" Tail Gunner Art McGann. We also talk with veterans about their DEROS from the military.  Thank you to our sponsors Tobacco Free Adagio Health and UPMC for Life.

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey, co-producer Florence Popoff and guest Karen Bellone discuss the often avoided topics of death, dying, and the natural capability of the body. They explore deep-seated fears surrounding death, how modern society is distanced from it, and the importance of having open conversations about mortality - of humans and other animals. They also dive into the idea of conscious living and dying, the discrepancies in generational attitudes toward death, and how engaging with the natural cycles of life can expand awareness. Reflective of cultural beliefs and personal experiences, this episode encourages listeners to open up and discuss these difficult yet enriching topics.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE FLORENCE POPOFF:Website: www.gamriegardens.comInstagram: @gamriegardensMORE KAREN BELLONE:The Seventh Sense website: www.theseventhsense.orgFilm Website: www.kbfilms.comBIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. She is the founder of The Seventh Sense in NY's Hudson Valley, where she is an integral part of a worldwide community that is reigniting the wisdom of death within our modern lives. She is also founder of Exit Strategy for Dying, a monthly Death, Arts and Culture Readers supporting a resource hub to educate and refocus the narrative around death and grief through the lens of arts, culture, storytelling and innovation. Prior to embracing her passion for end-of-life work, Karen has had a long career as an award-winning filmmaker and internationally collected photographer. She received a BFA in Film Production from New York University, and did graduate work with the world-renowned Actors Studio, through their inaugural program at the New School for Social Research.After training and becoming certified with INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association), Karenworked with an innovative hospice in Los Angeles where her skills as a death doula were developed and broadened. In addition to working with patients in various stages of their life journeys, she was responsible for training the volunteer staff, nurses and other hospice and medical professionals to bring more understanding, humanity and compassion into their work with the dying. She spoke regularly with groups, such as the Alzheimer's Project, about the role of the doula at end-of-life, and the space that can be held to bring about ‘a good death'. She believes strongly in the ability to demystify and assuage the fear that surrounds death in our culture and to foster safe passage for the dying, as well as to aid the families and loved ones through grief and bereavement.As a visual artist and storyteller, Karen acquired a multitude of skills throughout her career that unlocked a deep passion for the healing power of visual and auditory perception on human consciousness. She integrated these strengths and resources into tools to bring aid and comfort for those imminently facing their mortality. Working with somatic and sensory awareness, Karen utilizes visual, sound and meditation therapy, personalized guided imagery, and commemoration of the sacred in the form of ritual, legacy and memory work, in order to bring comfort - physically, emotionally, spiritually to celebrate and commemorate the life of the individual. In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeExit strategy for dying (Karen's monthly newsletter)All the Little DeathsAllen GinsbergKaren's Episode A 'Good Death', Death Doula: Embracing Life & Mortality PART ONEIn Buddhism, death is viewed as a natural part of the life cycle and an opportunity for spiritual growth. The concept is deeply intertwined with the notions of impermanence (anicca) and rebirth (samsara). Rather than being an end, death is seen as a transition, where the energy of one's consciousness continues in a new form, influenced by karma—the cumulative effects of one's actions, thoughts, and intentions. The ultimate goal is to break free from the cycle of death and rebirth through enlightenment, which means reaching a state of liberation (nirvana) where the mind is free from suffering and attachment. Mindfulness and acceptance of death are considered essential practices, as they help individuals live more fully and prepare for the moment of death with clarity and peace.Green burial is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial practices that emphasizes simplicity, sustainability, and minimal impact on the earth. It typically involves using biodegradable materials, avoiding embalming chemicals, and opting for natural settings like conservation areas or designated green cemeteries. The goal is to allow the body to decompose naturally, returning nutrients to the soil, and preserving the surrounding ecosystem.Lambing season in Scotland, typically from March to May, is a busy and vital time on farms, as thousands of lambs are born each spring. This period is crucial for the meat industry, with farmers carefully tending to both ewes and newborns to ensure their health and growth. While lambing is often seen as a symbol of renewal and the start of spring, it is also a time of intense labor and long days for shepherds, who balance the joy of new life with the practical realities of raising livestock for food production.A Dream Within a DreamBY EDGAR ALLAN POETake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow —You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?

In episode 174 - When You're Asked to Teach, I share some important insights about creating a safe, loving environment when you are asked to teach, whether that's in a church setting, on a mission, or in any other context. I emphasize the importance of moving away from a "quiz" mentality and instead fostering open conversations where everyone feels welcome to share their thoughts and experiences. I highlight the Savior's example of teaching each person according to their unique needs, and how we can emulate that by truly understanding where people are coming from before trying to teach them. The goal should be to create an atmosphere of unconditional love and acceptance, where the Spirit can freely flow. I encourage listeners to evaluate their own teaching approaches and consider whether they are cultivating this kind of safe, uplifting environment. By doing so, we can help everyone feel inspired, supported, and able to contribute meaningfully to the conversation, just as the Savior did. The key is moving away from a focus on "right" and "wrong" answers, and instead opening up the dialogue for all to participate. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review.
