A Massachusetts State Police detective specializing in cell phone forensics spent today's session in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial reconstructing exactly what was on her phone in the days and hours before her three children died. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, is charged with murdering 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan by strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty and is pursuing an insanity defense — attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her not criminally responsible.Detective Timothy Chiappini read a journal entry pulled from the phone in which Clancy described resentment toward her older kids, saying they were getting in the way of her bonding with Callan. He testified about her struggles with sleep training Callan and stopping breastfeeding, and her stated desire to parent each child like a first child. Chiappini also flagged photos edited on the phone on January 23 — one day before the killings — and mapped out the calls, texts, and location data from that final night.Reddington used cross-examination to redirect attention to a different category of searches on the same device, and to a series of texts between Clancy and her mother, laying groundwork for the defense's psychosis argument.Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew exactly what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What stories have you inherited about where you belong? This week's reflection uses art and psychology to help you revise your own narrative.Join psychologist and researcher Leila Ainge for the first Reflection Room prompt, where psychology, art and curiosity come together to help you see yourself—and your work from a different perspective.Inspired by Coral Woodbury's Revised Edition series and the work of artist Lubaina Himid, this episode explores how the stories we inherit shape our sense of identity, belonging and possibility. Drawing on ideas from social identity psychology, Leila reflects on why representation matters, how assumptions influence the way we see ourselves, and why some of our most meaningful insights arrive when we're walking, wandering or simply paying attention.Listeners are invited to consider one simple but thought-provoking question: Where could your contribution be revised? Through a guided reflection and an optional creative activity, this episode encourages you to notice where you may have underestimated yourself, overlooked your own potential, or quietly written yourself out of opportunities before anyone else had the chance.Perfect for anyone who enjoys reflective practice, psychology, art and evidence-informed personal development, this is an invitation to spend fifteen minutes looking again at the story you're telling yourself and whether it's time for a revised edition.https://artuk.org/discover/curations/art-design-gcse-2026-theme-womanhttps://artuk.org/discover/stories/seven-questions-with-coral-woodburyhttps://vimeo.com/665634788?fl=pl&fe=sh - video interview with Coral WoodburyCover art credit : collage made by Leila Ainge, including Photo by Dan Farrell on Unsplash, Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash , Photo by Samuel Regan-Asante on Unsplash
Calvin Bagley is a Healthcare Entrepreneur, Medicare Broker, Thought Leader Advocate, Speaker, and Amazon Best Selling Author who went from having no education as a child to earning a business degree at the age of 34. Today Calvin is the founder of several different businesses which have positively impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people. His book is a published memoir titled "Hiding from the School Bus," which tells the story of growing up in poverty, isolation, religious extremism, and navigating an education system which wasn't built for kids like him. Calvin's powerful story is one of resilience, faith, and how to turn pain into purpose. He did not set foot in a classroom until he was 22 years old. He wasn't homeschooled, he was "no-schooled." Being kept close to home with no exposure to traditional education, his older sister taught him how to read. Incredibly, through hard work and profound stubbornness, he not only learned to read, but he learned how to speak Portuguese and Spanish when he went on his church mission at the age of 19. Calvin explains how learning Portuguese actually helped him read and write English and encouraged him to continue to pursue further education, eventually being accepted to a college and earning his business degree, which launched him on his remarkable and rewarding career. Calvin shares his story with grace and compassion as he talks about overcoming childhood adversity, resilience and faith after spiritual abuse, breaking cycles, how to build a life worth living when you started with nothing, how to love yourself with all your heart, and how to be the hero of your own story. Download this powerful and inspiring episode to hear Calvin's story and learn how we can all change the script and become the hero of our story. Such an impactful episode of faith, hope, and healing which demonstrates the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Amazing story!

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Three different FBI sources. Three different answers. On the same day. About the single most important piece of evidence in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping.Reuters said all the ransom notes are fabricated. The Phoenix field office said some may be legitimate. TMZ's sources said the original two are more credible than not. The Bureau cannot agree internally on whether the central evidence in its own active case is real or manufactured.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from her Tucson home for nearly six months. No suspect identified. No arrest. Former FBI agent Steve Moore went on camera and said what no official source has admitted. The case is completely cold. He told Brian Entin that fresh agents will eventually rotate in because the current investigators are stuck.This case has attracted cons alongside its genuine investigation. Derrick Callella pleaded guilty to posing as a kidnapper and sending fake ransom messages directly to Nancy's family while the real kidnapping was still open. Someone else separately sent TMZ a dozen emails demanding Bitcoin for information. The resources devoted to sorting real leads from manufactured noise have been enormous.Genetic genealogy testing began in February using DNA recovered from inside the house. That was five months ago. The enhanced photo of the masked figure on Nancy's porch has never been publicly released.Nancy's face is on the billboards across Tucson. The suspect's is not. The enhanced photo of the masked figure was captured on her porch camera. It has never been made public. These are deliberate decisions by the people running this investigation, and no one has explained the logic behind any of them.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the Bureau's contradictions, what happens mechanically when a case goes cold, whether the genetic genealogy testing has produced results that have not been shared, and whether investigators already know more about porch guy than they have told the public.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Meaning emerges from a soundscape of bells By Maria Margaronis (2026) For centuries, great flocks of sheep and goats grazed the mountains of Greece and the Balkans. Some herders were completely nomadic, travelling with their whole household between grazing grounds. Now very few shepherds make the traditional journey to the high pastures each spring and … Continue reading "Everything Has Its Own Story"
Have you ever tried so hard to say the right thing that you stopped sounding like yourself? After reading yet another polished podcast pitch, I realised the biggest mistake most people make isn't saying the wrong thing. It's editing themselves out of the conversation. In this episode, I explore why people connect with authenticity over perfection, how people-pleasing can creep into the way we communicate, and why being memorable has far more to do with being human than being polished. Whether you're applying for jobs, pitching yourself for opportunities, dating, or simply trying to be understood, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding behind the "perfect" version of yourself. In this episode: Why polished doesn't always mean memorable How people-pleasing shows up in everyday communication The hidden cost of trying to say the "right" thing Why authenticity builds stronger connections A simple mindset shift to help you communicate with more confidence If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love The Done Diaries, my private audio series inside The Done Era, where I share regular solo reflections, insights, and truth bombs you won't hear anywhere else.

When you dance in protest, or to ask for justice, you're putting your body itself on the line. And our guest on this episode says if you can move, you can dance.

Episode 425: In May 1934, five identical girls were born in a farmhouse outside Corbeil, Ontario. They were the first quintuplets known to survive infancy anywhere in the world. Within weeks, the Province of Ontario had taken them from their parents. What followed was nine years inside a government-run compound called Quintland, where millions of tourists paid to watch the Dionne sisters play through one-way glass, twice a day, while their faces sold soap, cereal, and corn syrup across North America. The girls went home in 1943. The horror of what happened next took decades to come to light.

Everyone for Ten Minutes is the new album from his band, Bleachers, that looks at his lineage and how leaving home at 15 to tour the country in a van impacted him. Jack joins Tom Power in the studio to talk about the new album and his production work.

Fourteen months between Eric Richins' death and Kouri's arrest. During that window, she closed a real estate deal the day after finding him dead, hosted a gathering at the home where EMTs had pronounced him, Googled luxury prisons and insurance timelines, published a children's grief book, and went on television to promote it.Most analysis focuses on whether the grief was real or performed. This episode argues the answer is both — simultaneously — in different compartments of a psychology that doesn't process deception the way most people understand it. The lie isn't a mask held in place with effort. It's a migration. The person moves into the new version of events and inhabits it. And in that version, the grief is genuine.The second installment of a five-part psychological series examining every phase of Kouri Richins' decision-making. The 911 call, the Google searches, the book, the TV tour — and a brain that can produce sincere tenderness for children it orphaned.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when you spend years building something that changes lives, only to discover there's little evidence you were ever there?In this deeply personal episode, Anthony Mitchell shares a leadership lesson that began nearly six years ago during a career interview. After being asked to assemble a "whole-person package" that demonstrated who he was outside of work, Anthony began searching through years of community events, youth camps, outreach projects, and volunteer initiatives he had helped build.What he found was surprising.The events were documented.The memories were preserved.The impact was visible.But somehow, he was missing from much of the story.This episode explores the hidden challenge many emerging leaders face: building value in a world that often celebrates visibility. Anthony discusses why some people document experiences while overlooking the builders behind them, the danger of chasing recognition, and how young leaders can strengthen their value without depending on applause from others.If you've ever felt overlooked, underappreciated, or invisible despite your efforts, this conversation is for you.In this episode you'll learn:• Why visibility and value are not the same thing• The leadership danger of relying on recognition• How to preserve your legacy without promoting your ego• Why documenting your journey matters• Practical ways to become indispensable to your missionBecause one day someone will ask who you are.When that day comes, will your story be preserved?
What does success really look like for a writer? In this episode, I share a surprisingly encouraging reminder from a 1951 editorial in Galaxy Science Fiction: even at the highest magazine rates of the day, it took "a stupendous amount of writing" to support a writer. That may not sound comforting at first — but it is. Because it means writing was never easy. False starts, abandoned drafts, stories that don't quite work, and the sheer volume of practice required are not signs that you're doing it wrong. They are part of the work. A gentle but honest episode about ambition, effort, StoryADay May, avoiding burnout, and building a writing life that makes room for a stupendous amount of writing. This Week's Question What will you write this week? How many times will you show up for your writing? Don't go from zero to sixty. Increase your commitment a little. Give yourself the chance to discover what happens when writing becomes something you return to, again and again.

Send us Fan Mail Most people picture clarity as some grand purpose waiting to be discovered. Dan Grech says the opposite is true. Clarity rarely lives in your future visioning. It usually lives in your past — in the moments that shaped you, in the values you have always honoured, and sometimes in the wounds you swore would never happen to anyone else on your watch. Yusuf sits down with Dan Grech, founder of Your Business Is Your Story (YBYS), to explore why losing touch with your why quietly drives burnout, what a narrative gap actually feels like in your nervous system, and how reconnecting with your own story can be one of the steadiest things you do for your mental health. About the Guest: Dan Grech is a serial entrepreneur, Pulitzer Prize-winning former journalist (Washington Post, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, NPR, PBS), and the founder of Your Business Is Your Story (YBYS). He helps founders reconnect to their deeper purpose through both an excavation of their past and an articulation of their future. He leverages 15 years at the highest levels of journalism and decades as an entrepreneur to help leaders tell their story in the most powerful way possible. Key Takeaways: Clarity is not a future destination. The answer is almost always in your past, in the moments and people that shaped you. A "never-again energy" born from a wound or hardship is often the truest north for a person's mission. Core values are what was true yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Limiting beliefs like money, status, or geography are time-bound and not a stable foundation for a life or a business. The peaks and valleys exercise: list moments when you felt most fulfilled, and moments when you felt most disconnected. The values honoured in the peaks and violated in the valleys are your real core values. A narrative gap is the quiet distance between the life you are living and the life aligned with your values. It does not announce itself, but it slowly drains your energy. Profit without purpose is meaningless. Purpose without profit is unsustainable. Both matter, and small businesses are often best positioned to honour both.

In this episode, Linda explores the emotional, energetic and entrepreneurial realities of living with ADHD. From navigating takers and energy‑drainers to understanding why neurodivergent people are so often misunderstood, this episode is packed with truth, humour, and practical wisdom for ADHD women and creative entrepreneurs. Linda shares openly about motherhood, marriage, business ownership, and the invisible mental load women carry. She also breaks down why automation is essential (not rude), why joy can't be bottled, and how to build a business that supports your brain instead of burning it out. 1. You curate your own life algorithm Linda reflects on how we unconsciously invite certain patterns and people into our lives. “We are in fact the authors of our own story but actually we are the curators of our own algorithm.” 2. ADHDers are used to being misinterpreted Neurodivergent people often communicate openly and literally which others misread. “We always have been misinterpreted.” 3. Protect your joy, not everyone can hold it Some people become alienated when you're doing well. “Sometimes it's better to keep it under your hat… celebrate with the right people.” 4. Boundaries + clarity = ADHD business survival ADHD entrepreneurs thrive when expectations are clear. “We need clarity. We need boundaries and we need clarity.” 5. The ADHD business paradox ADHDers struggle to live in the present in life but get stuck in the present in business. “We tend to see the now in our businesses… we're not looking at the next steps.” 6. Automation is not impersonal, it's essential Linda dismantles the myth that automation removes the personal touch. “If I have an auto reply… go f*** yourself because I am being personal in my own life.” 7. The invisible mental load Women carry a constant checklist in their heads and ADHD amplifies it. “Have you got that mental load of is X, Y, and Z in the fridge…?” 8. Joy is fleeting and that's okay ADHD emotional cycles shift fast. “Maybe in half an hour I'm going to feel like s***… you cannot bottle that joy.” 9. Small steps create big shifts Linda introduces her Small Steps Accountability Circle gentle, sustainable progress for ADHD brains.

Last episode, you designed the set. You grabbed your clipboard, put on your headset, and built the environment for the Star of your show to thrive. Now it's time to step in front of the camera — because the film crew just showed up, and they're capturing everything. In this electrifying follow-up episode, April Garcia takes the Set Design framework to the next level with a challenge that will make you think twice about every decision you make this week. Are you ready to deliver your best performance yet? Key Takeaways: The Film Crew is Rolling: Imagine a film crew followed you from the moment you woke up this morning. They were in the car. They were at the gym. They were there when you talked to your kids, your partner, your team. What did they capture? Would you be proud of what ends up on screen? You Are the CEO of YOU Inc.: April references Keith Cunningham's The Road Less Stupid to introduce one of the most empowering — and sobering — reframes in the show's history. You are the CEO of your own life. That means you own the results across every department: Sales, R&D, Health, Finances, Relationships, Education, and Personal Development. Every win and every loss is a direct reflection of your management — or your mismanagement. The Board of Directors is Watching: Whether it's a film crew or a board of directors reviewing your performance this month — they saw every phone call, every distraction, every moment you showed up fully and every moment you didn't. What would their report say about the leading character? Two Reasons This Exercise Works: It raises your game. When you imagine someone watching, you naturally bring more intention, more energy, and more excellence to everything you do. It empowers you. The power is entirely in your hands. No one to blame. No circumstances to hide behind. You are the hero — or you're not. That choice belongs to no one else. No One Else is Playing You: This is the line that lands hardest. There is no understudy. No one else stepping into your role as a parent, a leader, a partner, a builder. Only you. And that means only you can decide to show up like the star the role deserves. The Challenge This Week: Carry the film crew with you everywhere you go. Let the imagined presence of that camera be the standard you hold yourself to. Deliver a performance you are proud of — not for the audience, but because you decided to be the hero of your own story. Resource Mentioned:
In this episode of Man Vs. Marriage, Quincy Moran challenges men to see the power they truly hold in their homes, their marriages, and their legacy. What Quincy calls “superhero status” is not fantasy. It is the real-life authority a man has to change, lead, heal, and redirect the trajectory of his family by first changing himself.This episode dives deep into how the past can either serve as a professor or become a prison. Quincy shares a personal story about how childhood pain and false beliefs shaped his identity for decades, and how confronting those lies opened the door to real transformation.If you have ever felt trapped by your past, stuck in disappointment, or unsure how to become the man you know you are meant to be, this episode is for you.This is a call to stop living from old wounds, stop adapting to misery, and start making the decisions that build a stronger marriage, stronger family, and stronger legacy.In This EpisodeQuincy covers:Why a man's power in his home is “superhero status”The difference between your past being a professor or a prisonWhy who you are is not who you have to beHow people acclimate to misery, disappointment, and driftThe internal resistance that always comes with real changeHow childhood wounds can quietly shape adulthood, marriage, confidence, and identityQuincy's personal story of people-pleasing and feeling like he was never enoughThe hidden suffering of regret versus the meaningful suffering of responsibilityWhy change begins with one decisionHow a man can change the trajectory of his family legacyWhy leadership in the home starts with personal transformationHow faith, responsibility, and action create lasting changeKey Takeaways1. Your past has power, but it belongs behind youYour history matters, but it was never meant to rule your future. It can teach you, but it should not imprison you.2. Misery becomes normal if you let itMen often acclimate to disappointment, pain, drifting, and dysfunction until it feels normal. That comfort in misery is dangerous.3. Change always comes with resistanceWhen you start swimming upstream, resistance is part of the process. Feeling resistance does not mean you are on the wrong path.4. You are not stuck being who you've beenOne of the central truths of this episode is simple: who you are is not who you have to be.5. There are two kinds of sufferingYou will suffer either way:the suffering of regretor the suffering of responsibility and growthOne path weakens you. The other transforms you.6. Your decisions shape your family's futureThe decision you make today can change the trajectory of your marriage, your children, and your legacy.7. Real leadership starts withinBefore a man leads his family well, he must confront the lies, wounds, fears, and patterns within himself.Memorable QuotesThese are strong pull quotes for captions, thumbnails, or graphics:“The power a man holds might as well be superhero status.”“Your past can be a professor.”“Your past can continue to be a prison for you. Which do you choose?”“Who you are is not who you have to be.”“We acclimate in our misery.”“One path leads to regret. The other leads to responsibility.”“Today is the day I will become the hero in my own story.”“You have the power and the authority to change today.”“Be the hero in your own story.”“The work is worth it.”Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is for:Husbands who feel stuck in old patternsMen carrying pain from childhood, family history, or personal failureMen who are tired of drifting and ready to leadFathers who want to change the direction of their family legacyMen of faith who want to align transformation with responsibility and actionCall to ActionIf this episode challenged you, send it to another man who needs it.Share it.

In 2020, a doctor handed me a scan of my brain. It showed 40 lesions. That was my "line of demarcation"—the moment my world split into "before" and "after" the MS diagnosis. In that cold, clinical room, I realized that my voice (my Sauti) was the one thing the disease couldn't take, but it was up to me to make sure it was heard. This Sony ZV E-10 isn't just a piece of tech I bought to look "professional." It is a weapon of Fearless Productivity. It's the tool I chose to ensure that even on the days when my body feels like it's failing, my message—and your potential—continues to rise. But Fearless Productivity isn't about being perfectly healthy; it's about being perfectly purposeful. I bought the Sony ZV E-10 as my first vlogging camera because I refused to let my story end in a hospital bed. I needed a way to amplify my Sauti (Voice) while I still had the breath to use it. In this video, I'm not just reviewing specs. I'm showing you how I use this lens to document my Epic Quests and why you don't need a perfect life to start creating an impact. Stop being a character. Pick up your pen—or your camera—and become the author. #SautiGlobal #FearlessProductivity #SonyZVE10 #MSWarrior #YourVoiceRises #NarrativeIdentity
On episode 172, I sit down with my friend Mark Harper — Air Force veteran, executive producer, and founder of GigLine Media — to unpack how a group of military storytellers pulled off one of the most ambitious PSA campaigns the VA has ever attempted. Mark's journey runs from combat camera documenting the wars in Iraq and Africa to helping build We Are The Mighty into one of the most influential online media platforms for veterans before launching his own advertising agency. In this conversation, we dig into the real mechanics of representation in media — why veteran stories should be written, produced, and directed by the people who actually lived them — and how that philosophy shaped the VA's bold “Face Your Dragon” campaign. Mark and I break down how he partnered with director Ryan Curtis, producer Chase Milsap, and star Rudy Reyes to build a piece of storytelling that's unapologetically cinematic, deeply creative, and unmistakably direct. We talk about the risks of pitching a VFX dragon for a government campaign, the realities of producing high-end visual effects on a shoestring budget, and why veterans working as writers, producers, and creators matters more than ever.

Hello to you listening in Samish, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Imagine this: a storyteller in a room full of litigators. No! Not alligators - litigators. Trial attorneys who are curious about learning the tools to engage with their own narrative so that they could connect to the stories of their plaintiff clients - not as lawyers but as people. Once they know how to access their own stories they can engage the experiences of the jury, find common ground with the plaintiff's story and, be well on their way to winning the trial.Over 30 years my clients have learned that before you tell someone else's story be very clear about your own. Do the hard work of an archeological dig on your narrative. Once we understand how our narrative shapes and re-shapes our life, our purpose, the relationships we have with others we are well on our way to knowing what we stand for, what we won't stand for, and how we can be of service. Our story can become one of advocacy, leadership, and healing. Our story can shift attitudes, behaviors, even cultures.CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?

Before becoming a city manager, Chris Mann built a career around public affairs, public relations, and political campaign messaging. In this episode, we talk about how important it is for city managers and other public sector executives to cultivate an image or identity that they can use to differentiate themselves during the job search process. By narrating your own story, you will be able to illustrate and articulate how your skills and abilities uniquely position for success. We also spend time talking about how we both pivoted from the world of politics into the city management profession and walked a very non-traditional path.

Join Angela and Simon Alexander Ong, a life and business coach and author of the book Energize, for a discussion on how to transform your life by managing your energy rather than your time, focussing on the power of perception and mindset in achieving an "extraordinary life". Simon shares his personal journey from the financial sector during the 2008 crisis to becoming a coach, illustrating how obstacles can be reframed as opportunities. They also look at practical strategies for goal setting, maintaining consistency over intensity, and building sustainable systems for long-term success in both personal and professional spheres. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Energy Management Over Time Management: True productivity and the ability to "bend reality" come from managing your energetic state and perception rather than just managing your calendar. Consistency Trumps Intensity: Success is rarely a straight line; it is more like a maze where long-term consistency in habits and systems is more effective than short-term bursts of intense effort. The Power of Pronoia: Reframing your perspective from paranoia (the world is out to get you) to "pronoia" (the universe is conspiring in your favour) significantly changes how you respond to challenges and opportunities. Value and Service as Business Foundations: In business, shift the focus from selling to providing value and service; Simon suggests that money is simply an "echo of value".

If you're trying to sort out some hard things this fall, if you're trying to figure out what you need to store up for the winter, if you're wanting to hang out to the changing leaves as long as possible before they die…. Well, I really think you're going to love this one. Today we'll answer the question, “What is the fall and how do I define it in my life?” Pastor Mike Kelsey's wise voice is helping us think about the beauty we can find in the fall even when things feel like they're changing so much. We're starting to look at what things to store up for the winter and ultimately asking God what it looks like to flourish in every single season, including the fall.

In early 1948, Los Angeles couples were terrorized by a series of robberies and car thefts committed by a criminal the press dubbed “The Red Light Bandit,” a reference to the red light he used to flag down his victims. Fortunately, the bandit's crime spree was quickly cut short when police arrested Caryl Chessman, a Los Angeles resident with a criminal history going back to his teen years.Chessman was charged with multiple counts of robbery, rape, grand theft, and because of an unusual interpretation of events, he was also charged with kidnapping. Due to the attachment of kidnapping, several of the charges were defined as a capital offense and Chessman was convicted and sentenced to death.In the years following his conviction, Chessman's death sentence became a source of considerable controversy—an already controversial sentence applied in a non-lethal case due to a bizarre application of the law. For ten years, Chessman fought the sentence all the way to the US Supreme Court, with support from a wide variety of sources, both notable and ordinary.
