www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast  listen without ads!This week on Dopey! A heavy, emotional holiday episode of Dopey that moves between chaos, grief, recovery, dark humor, and connection. Dave opens with a raw, chaotic song about cocaine, crack, and wanting relief, then sets the tone for a brutal week shaped by multiple tragedies — including the shocking deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner and the arrest of their son Nick Reiner, a former Dopey guest.The episode includes sponsor reads, listener Christmas messages, and reflections on sticking together in recovery when the world feels overwhelming. Dave reads Spotify comments, emails, and shares messages from the Dopey Nation, emphasizing connection, gratitude, and community during the holidays.The centerpiece is a long, candid interview with Alec Baldwin, recorded just before Thanksgiving. Alec discusses growing up on Long Island, early drinking and cocaine use, working in New York television, moving to Los Angeles, fame, excess, driving intoxicated, overdosing in a hotel room in Oregon, and ultimately getting sober in 1985. He describes how AA became his entire social world, how spirituality helped keep him sober, and how his faith and family carried him through later life crises — including public scrutiny, divorce, legal battles, and depression. Alec speaks openly about wanting to “just not kill myself tomorrow” during his darkest moments and how sobriety principles guided him through.After the interview, Dave plays more holiday messages from the Dopey Nation and then has a long, emotional phone call with his father, Alan Manheim. They process the Nick Reiner tragedy, public backlash, antisemitic comments, criticism of old Dopey clips resurfacing online, and the strange irony of Dopey being thrust into the media spotlight through tragedy. They discuss parenting addicts, mental illness, fame, synchronicity, and how Dopey interviews became central to news coverage. The episode closes with reflections on resilience, staying connected, asking for help, and honoring Chris, followed by Dave playing his song “Good So Bad.”SEO / SEARCHABLE KEYWORDS (CUT & PASTE)  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As we close out the year, today we slow down and reflect together. This final Morning Chat of 2025 is not about tactics, growth hacks, or chasing trends. It is a community pause. We look back on the wins that reminded us why we podcast, share one word we want to carry into 2026, and talk about how we want to show up for our listeners in the year ahead. You will hear honest reflections about creative fatigue, motivation, consistency, boundaries, and the seasons that come with making content over time. We talk about reconnecting with purpose, letting go of pressure, and giving ourselves permission to rest without guilt. This is an invitation to notice what you built this year, even if it feels messy or unfinished. To name what mattered. To ask yourself what you want more of, and what you are ready to release.Episode Highlights:[02:24] Reflecting on 2025 and looking ahead to 2026[04:02] Choosing guiding words for 2026[04:46] Sharing personal words and intentions[12:21] Overcoming creative slumps[22:44] Focusing on goals for 2026[30:24] A thoughtful discussion on the overuse of authenticity[35:42] Promises to listeners for 2026[41:21] Podcasting wins and end-of-year reflectionsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Amber Abila helps women stop binge eating and overeating by rewiring their brains so they can finally feel normal and in control around any food. Over 3% of the US population struggles with binge eating and so many more do so in silence.For years, Amber struggled with her own relationship with food, trying everything from therapy and calorie counting to weight loss coaching. Nothing seemed to work until she discovered, through coaching and psychology, that there was nothing “wrong” with her at all — she simply needed practical brain tools to break free from the cycle.By learning how her unconscious brain was driving habitual eating patterns, Amber began making dramatic shifts in her habits and her life. Now she shares those same evidence‑based tools with others, showing women that freedom from food obsession is possible and that lasting change doesn't come from more discipline or stricter diets, but from understanding and retraining the brain.In this episode, Amber opens up about her journey, the science behind binge eating, and the strategies that helped her reclaim peace with food. Her mission is clear: to ensure no one feels as alone or broken as she once did, and to empower women everywhere to step into confidence, resilience, and joy in their everyday lives.Amber's Sites:Website: https://theconfidenteater.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amber.abila.77Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconfidenteater_ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@amberabilaPodcast: Become a Confident Eater: Overcome Overeating, Establish Healthy Eating Habits https://theconfidenteater.org/podcastOTR Sites:Podcast Website: https://bobadleman.wixsite.com/otrmentalhealthReal Plus Community Ko-Fi.com/otrachieving Mail: OvertheRainbowbob@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/otrachievingmentalhealhfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/over_the_rainbow_achieving X: https://twitter.com/overtherain1bowYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEYTddPDUaiZbFliit1r5QLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adleman/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

Our guest is Barry J. Jacobs — he's a clinical psychologist and author based just outside of Philly who has a real heart for supporting family caregivers. And that passion is personal. Barry's caregiving journey started young — when he was just 14, his dad was diagnosed with brain cancer and sadly passed away the following year. That experience shaped the direction of his life and career. Later, from 2010 to 2017, Barry stepped into the caregiving role again — this time for his stepfather, who had Alzheimer's, and his mom, who was living with vascular dementia. He truly understands the emotional rollercoaster that comes with caregiving and has spent his career helping others navigate it with more support and less guilt.  In this episode, we discuss two of his books, co-written with his wife, one on love and relationships after 50, and one focused on addressing common family caregiving questions. We delve deeper into the topics of guilt, family dynamics, and self-care. Barry has much personal and professional wisdom to share, especially when it comes to self-kindness, using more honey and less vinegar, balancing ‘me time' and ‘we time,' and spreading ‘You Got This' confidence throughout the caregiving community.

Are you holding back your real estate growth because you're afraid to let go of control? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with the sharp and candid Sasha Tripp, founder of Story House Real Estate in Central Virginia. Sasha opens up about her journey from independent boutique brokerage owner to partnering with Real and Place to scale her operations without sacrificing her brand. With a strong emphasis on leadership, systems, and strategic partnerships, she shares how she broke through growth plateaus and found new ways to elevate both her agents and her own career. Sasha dives into the biggest roadblocks agents face when scaling: fear of hiring, delegation paralysis, and the unwillingness to systematize.

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com For many people, the holidays are not a season of joy but a time when old memories, unresolved pain, and family patterns surface with surprising intensity. What we feel in the present is often shaped by experiences from years ago. Long before we understand why, the weight of the past begins defining how we face the holidays today. Holiday depression isn't simply a psychological term; it is often an emotional association rooted in the heart. Our minds remember events, but our hearts remember experiences. When those experiences are painful, the holidays can trigger reactions that feel impossible to escape. Yet God never designed us to be ruled by old memories or cultural traditions that rob us of peace. He calls us into freedom—a life where we decide what the holidays will mean rather than repeating what they have always been. There is a pathway to transformation. It begins by recognizing the beliefs that keep us bound, understanding how emotional debt shapes our responses, and learning to make intentional choices that reflect who we are in Christ rather than who we used to be. As we step out of old patterns and into new traditions, our hearts begin to heal. Joy becomes possible again. And the holidays shift from something we endure to something that strengthens us, our families, and everyone we touch. Join me this week in CyberChurch for a message titled Overcoming Holiday Depression, as we explore how to break free from painful holiday associations and create a season filled with meaning, purpose, and the life of God.

Ash sits down with Dr. Ruth Mannschreck, a seasoned dentist turned practice transition coach, to talk about the real-world challenges and overlooked opportunities when selling a dental practice. Dr. Ruth shares the mistakes she made during her own transitions, such as not planning far enough in advance and not preparing the practice to be attractive to buyers from both a financial and operational standpoint. She emphasizes the importance of understanding what you want from a sale, proactively increasing value, and reducing buyer risk in ways that go beyond just the numbers.The conversation moves into the role of practice culture, team involvement, and the transition process. Dr. Ruth advocates for engaging the dental team early in the transition, highlighting the benefits of transparency and preparing the team to operate independently. They also discuss the pitfalls of overreliance on the practice owner and the risk of selling a practice that functions more like a job than a turnkey business. Dr. Ruth offers listeners access to her resource checklist at prepitnow.com and outlines how planning and open communication can support a smoother transition for everyone involved.To find out more or connect with Dr. Ruth, visit: https://shorelinestrategies.com/Key Topics Discussed:The importance of early planning and preparation when selling a dental practiceCommon mistakes practice owners make during transitionsFinancial versus operational readiness for saleThe value of culture, systems, and team capability in the sale processStrategies for increasing practice value and reducing perceived riskThe impact of naming and branding on practice transitionsIncluding the dental team in discussions and evaluations with potential buyersCreating a turnkey business versus selling a “job”Overcoming the challenge of letting go of control as an ownerHow to access Dr. Mannschreck's Prep It Now checklist for selling a practice

"Money is one of those things that people just consider as an afterthought. The older you get and the more responsibilities you have, you start to realize money is a tool, and it's required for health and happiness." In this episode, Heather sits down with Douglas and Heather Boneparth to dig into the often uncomfortable but wholly necessary work of talking about finances with your partner. Together, they unpack what really happens beneath the surface when couples avoid money conversations, and how bringing these truths forward can transform the intimacy, teamwork, and emotional safety in your relationship. Explore the stories we inherit around money, why it feels so vulnerable to speak up, and the simple shifts that help you feel like you're on the same team again. What to listen for: ✨ Money is not an afterthought; it's a tool for cultivating health and happiness ✨ How Douglas and Heather first understood that they needed to talk about money ✨ Overcoming the fear of speaking up with your partner about finances "You're communicating even when you're not communicating. Your body language, your actions, and the way that you're passive-aggressive about it. You're just failing to say the thing that needs to be said." ✨ Opening the door to teamwork and shared responsibility in your relationship ✨ Letting go of the "Prince Charming is going to save me" and taking ownership ✨ The importance of acknowledging the impact partners have on one another "The collective ambition needs to come to life here because you share a life together. You still get to be your own person, but you're playing a team game. Championships are won through team efforts, and this is what collaboration is all about. Your marriage is essentially a collaboration of life, and money is this game that you don't get to opt out of." ✨ Why freedom is emotionally uncomfortable and how to navigate that ✨ The question Douglas and Heather ask every couple to bring them together ✨ The power of energetic time management and chasing the feeling you're after "It's not the thing you want, it's the feeling. You say you want more money, more accolades, another book, this, this, this. Amazing. Take it. But what's the feeling you're after?" ✨ The importance of valuing the journey as much as you value the end goal ✨ Benchmarking your money goals and navigating the resistance that comes up ✨ Understanding that intimacy is directly connected to your financial health About Douglas and Heather Boneparth: Heather and Douglas Boneparth are the co-authors of Money Together: How to find fairness in your relationship and become an unstoppable financial team.

The line between “normal sore” and “season-ender” can be thinner than a springboard. We've been seeing a spike in shin pain as athletes ramp into meet season, so we dug into what actually separates routine aches from stress reactions and fractures—and how to act before things break. You'll hear the red flags we never ignore, why focal anterior tibia pain is different from posteromedial soreness, and the simple rule of threes that helps coaches and athletes make better calls on the floor.We share the four-stage path we use in the clinic—relative rest, strength, plyos, and sport return—and why early action shrinks each phase. One surprising insight: bone is most responsive to the first 20 to 60 impacts, especially in the morning, which means a short dose of depth drops and pogo hops can outpace long, junk-mile sessions. Add in heavy calf work, single-leg plyos, and targeted landing mechanics, and you get a plan that builds resilience without burning the fuse. We also talk realistic event modifications, smart rep caps for vault and floor, and checkpoints for progressing from rod to floor and from soft board to springboard.Underneath the protocols are the big levers: workload honesty, technical efficiency, and adequate fuel. Many athletes aren't weak; they're over-spiked, under-fueled, and landing hard. Tidy up shapes, let the equipment return energy, and loop in sports nutrition when progress stalls. If your goal is college gymnastics or simply a healthy, complete season, the bravest move is often stepping back for two weeks to save the next twelve. Listen to learn the exact tests, numbers, and conversations that help athletes stay on track and out of boots.

Episode 3842: Greg Audino challenges the glorified pursuit of achievement by revealing the darker side of potential, how it can lead to burnout, unfulfilling lives, and missed opportunities for authentic happiness. He urges us to prioritize personal joy over societal validation, and to recognize that walking away from a talent can be just as wise as pursuing it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/the-horrifying-potential-of-potential-ddecfc3c2822 Quotes to ponder: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should." "Look first at the person, not the talent." "Laziness is the low road that anyone can take, and effort, often regardless of the outcome, is the high road that requires people to give themselves an extra push before setting foot."
