How can men begin the journey toward vulnerability when they've been taught to hide their emotions? What does it look like to engage honestly with your feelings when you've never developed the habit of paying attention to them?Author and therapist Trey Tucker has helped countless men learn to recognize what is happening beneath the surface and begin addressing the emotions, wounds, and struggles they have buried for far too long. The cost of suppressing emotions can be significant, affecting relationships, physical health, and overall well-being. Trey believes that true strength is not found in avoidance, but in cultivating purposeful habits that allow men to live with authenticity, resilience, and intention. Drawing from both his professional experience and personal story, he shares practical wisdom in his book, Tough Enough: Hone Your Habits, Cultivate Purpose, and Forge Genuine Strength.In this conversation, Davey and Trey discuss why vulnerability can be especially difficult for many men, how to begin paying attention to your inner world, and what it takes to grow, heal, and move forward after adversity.If you've ever struggled to put words to what you're feeling or found it difficult to share honestly about what is happening inside, this episode will encourage you that vulnerability is not weakness—it is often the first step toward healing, deeper relationships, and a greater sense of purpose.

There are two very different factors contributing to where men and women rate their pain on a scale of 1-10. Bree Tomasel & Clint Roberts on ZM - find us @breeandclint on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dr. Paul Jenkins uncovers the unexpected strength found in simply saying 'I don't know.' While this phrase is often seen as a weakness or a lack of confidence, Dr. Paul encourages listeners to embrace it as a starting point for humility and open-mindedness. By acknowledging our inability to predict the future, we create a mental space that allows us to respond more thoughtfully to our feelings and reduce anxiety. This space also empowers us to make choices instead of reacting based on unfounded predictions.   Embracing 'I don't know' also reveals our capability to handle whatever comes our way, tapping into our innate resilience. Drawing from Dr. Susan Jeffers' notion that most fears stem from the belief that we 'can't handle' something, Dr. Paul challenges this limiting belief with evidence from our past victories over adversity. Pain and challenge, he explains, do not equate to failure but are part of our human experience, pushing us to learn and grow in ways we may not initially appreciate.   Dr. Paul introduces the concept of metacognition, thinking about our own thinking, as a tool for positive change. Recognizing that our practiced thoughts can become habitual, he highlights the value of intentional thinking practices to reprogram our minds. The episode welcomes listeners to explore the Emotional Freedom Challenge, a free opportunity to develop and exercise this cognitive skill, creating more empowerment and emotional resilience.   Ultimately, accepting 'I don't know' as a path to possibility allows us to stop rehearsing undesirable futures and positions us to handle whatever reality brings. It's about trusting our capacity to grow and learn, thus choosing a powerful, purposeful stance toward life's uncertainties.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260813dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Romans 8:31-33 Without a Doubt! There are very few things you can say without a doubt. When making plans, you can’t say they will happen without a doubt. When someone asks you a difficult question, can you always answer confidently, without a doubt? Thankfully, we can answer life’s most crucial question without a doubt, and not because we’re so smart, but because God is so great! Life’s most crucial question is, “Am I right with God?” or “Will God let me into heaven?” Some people struggle to answer those questions without a doubt. Those doubts come from the reality of sin. God is holy and perfect; we are not. Just one sin is enough to bar us from heaven, and we've committed more than one. More than we can count. It would be presumptuous to believe we can simply walk through heaven’s gates, except that God assures us of this without doubt or hesitation. God is for us! He’s on our side. He says that our sins are forgiven. This removes any and every shred of doubt. Who can bring any charges against us that will stick? Our own doubts and guilty conscience might try to tell us we aren’t forgiven or worthy, but they don’t call the shots! God does. He has justified us. That means he declares, with absolute authority, that we are not guilty because he’s forgiven all our sins. And if any doubt should remain, here’s proof: God did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. This is how the guilty are declared innocent and the accused become acquitted, without a doubt. God spared no expense to make things right between you and him. God left heaven and carried a cross to make heaven your home. It’s yours through Christ, without a doubt. Prayer: Lord, spare me from doubt and temptations to justify myself and let my confidence rest on Christ alone who has already justified me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both.Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Romans 12:1-2 is our anchor...The Message version: “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him." Your pain has purpose. God is your refuge. Your worship can and will sustain you.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260812dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 It’s All Good! “It’s all good!” someone might say. We might tell ourselves, “It’s all good,” even when it’s not. Even when it doesn’t seem good, we try to remain optimistic, look at the brighter side, and have faith that it will all work out. The Christian faith is not merely faith that all things will work out. It’s faith in the God and Savior who works out all things for eternal good. This Bible verse is not a promise that only good and pleasant things will happen to you if you just love God enough. It’s a reminder that those who love God and are loved by God will experience all sorts of things that don’t seem good and pleasant. When something challenging or tragic comes into your life, you might be tempted to wonder, “Does God have something against me? Is that why bad things are happening?” You may doubt that God is really on your side. But here is his assurance: He's not working against you; he’s working for you and for your good! Jesus shows us how true this promise is. No one in the world would naturally see someone nailed to a cross and think, “That’s good.” Yet, in that way, God was at work to accomplish the greatest good—the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life with him. That’s good! When things happen in life that the world does not see as good, we have God’s promise that even this he will work out for good. It could be good personally for you because the thing that initially causes pain or sorrow could be God’s way of shaping you, strengthening you, or sparing you from greater physical or spiritual danger. It could bring good into the lives of others around you. If you’ve been through something, you are better equipped to encourage someone else who’s going through it too. It really is all good when we find ourselves in the loving arms of the God who works in all things for our eternal good! Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me faith that knows that in all things you are at work for your good and eternal purposes. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Morning Mantra: "Everything we go through has a purpose."I've experienced quite a bit of physical pain in the last few months.  It seems that as soon as I was over the pain from my kidney stone, my back went out.  But there was a few days in between and I remember thinking, "Wow, I'm not in pain."Pain has taught me to appreciate the things that don't hurt.How many days am I not in pain and don't really appreciate it? I take it for granted.It's like that with everything.  You need to experience the opposite of things to be able to compare, in order to learn appreciation.You need pain to appreciate when things don't hurt.You need loneliness to appreciate loving relationships.Fear to experience courage.Sad to appreciate happy.Tired to understand rested, and so on.Everything we go through has a purpose, even the not-so-great things.  Learning to be aware of what's good requires us to experience and recognize the opposite. #BeAware  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes

Pain is frequently a component of behavior cases and not often discussed from a behavior consultant's viewpoint. But pain is not strictly a medical concern and the behavior field at large needs to know how to approach it from our skillset. Scratch the surface on this meaty topic with Sarah as she dives into pain as an individual experience and explores it through the biopsychosocial model. www.physio-pedia.com/Biopsychosocial_Model www.zoffness.com/ Sign up for courses and join the membership here: sarahstremming.com Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/cogdogradio Music by AlexGrohl from Pixabay

All of us know that pain and suffering are part of life — Jesus himself promises as much (John 16:33). But that doesn't make it easier when health struggles, relational loss, or other crises come knocking at our door uninvited and unexpected. What does it look like to have faith when life falls apart? Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi and her sisters discuss finding God in the midst of suffering. Their emotionally honest and resilient pursuit of Jesus amid confusion, loss, and grief will provide a roadmap for you to walk out raw faith through the hard realities of life.

We asked for your worst cheater stories, and you delivered. In this Part 1 episode, we hear about a father and his affair partner who continually reject an autistic son; a guy who cheats on his terminally ill wife; a husband who insists on naming their child after his affair partner (unbeknownst to his wife); and a serial cheater who ghosted his date while his wife is in labor, and gets mad that his Match.com date didn't wait. 

There's a habit you can't break even though you know it's not good for you, and you've decided that makes you undisciplined. It doesn't…Every behavior you can't seem to quit is serving a hidden purpose, and that purpose is the reason it won't budge. For women with chronic illness, this is one of the emotional patterns shaping whether the body ever gets the conditions it needs to heal, and no protocol is built to find it. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I'd coach you through breaking one.In this episode, you'll discover:The real reason you reach for your phone, skip the appointment, or push past your limit, and why it was never about willpower or discipline.You'll learn how each of these behaviors is serving a purpose for you.And we'll get into how to uncover that hidden goal and meet the need a different way, one that serves you and your healing instead of working against it.Use my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

Most of us treat pain as the beginning of a problem. It isn't. By the time you feel it, whether it's a stiff knee, an aching lower back, or hands that hurt in the morning, inflammation has usually been quietly active for months, sometimes years.In this solo episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta breaks down why pain is the last signal your body sends, using her own experience with plantar fasciitis and a round of NSAIDs that damaged her gut without ever solving the original problem.In this episode:The real difference between acute inflammation, which is protective, and chronic inflammation, which is quiet and easy to explain awayWhy Tylenol and Advil work differently, and why neither one addresses the disease process underneath your painWhat's happening inside an osteoarthritic or rheumatoid joint at the cellular levelWhy curcumin research shows results comparable to ibuprofen and prescription NSAIDs, without the gut damageThe COX2 and 5-LOX pathway explanation, and why turmeric and boswellia work better paired togetherHow your everyday ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats shapes your body's baseline inflammatory responseDr. Shivani's honest, still-unfolding story about her own hip and spine painThis conversation is an invitation to listen to the whisper before your body has to shout.

You know you need to strength train in midlife to protect your bones, muscle mass, and metabolic health. But every time you try to lift weights or join a class, your back seizes, your knees throb, or your neck locks up. You are trapped in the Midlife Exercise Catch-22: terrified of losing mobility if you don't lift, but terrified of crippling pain if you do.In this episode, Mandy Ryle breaks you out of that all-or-nothing trap. Clinical evidence shows progressive exercise isn't something you earn after you're out of pain—it is the primary treatment for chronic pain itself. Discover why rest makes tendons stiffer, how progressive overload retrains a hyper-vigilant nervous system, and how Graded Exposure is somatic strength, and allows you to build strength without flaring!Timestamps00:00 – The Midlife Exercise Catch-2201:19 – The Real Purpose of Somatics: Getting Strong02:15 – Estrogen Decline, Muscle Loss & Bone Health05:37 – Muscle as Your Primary Metabolic Organ07:44 – Why Mainstream Fitness Advice Fails Pain Sufferers09:51 – The Science: Exercise as #1 Chronic Pain Treatment11:42 – Research on Osteoarthritis & Joint Health13:01 – Why Tendons Need Loading, Not Rest15:03 – Desensitizing Nervous System Threat Algorithms18:26 – Graded Exposure: Micro-Dosing Resistance20:20 – Movement Variables to Prevent Flare-UpsKey TakeawaysThe Midlife Catch-22: Declining estrogen makes loading mandatory, but traditional workout intensity triggers protective nervous system flare-ups.Rest Makes Tendons Worse: Tendinopathies and osteoarthritis require controlled mechanical load to remodel tissue. Rest increases stiffness.Graded Exposure is the Key: Micro-dosing resistance and tweaking variables (range of motion, tempo, load) builds strength safely in the "Goldilocks zone."Scientific Research CitedHayden et al. (Cochrane Review): 240+ RCTs showing progressive exercise outperforms passive care for pain and disability.Fransen et al.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260811dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:29-33 Why Do You Doubt? Have you ever been worried about something and doubted that it would be ok? But then you get through it, and you wonder “why did I doubt?” The answer is simple: because you didn’t know the outcome. You didn’t have hindsight to know it would all work out. Jesus asked Peter that simple question after he rescued him from the stormy waters. Why do you doubt? The answer was simple: because Peter took his eyes off Jesus. When you take your eyes of faith off Jesus and you look to your own abilities or only see the storms of life instead of the power and promise of Jesus, doubts surge. It can seem like we can’t keep our heads above water. It can seem like we are drowning. If we stop looking to Jesus as the answer to life’s biggest problem, which is sin, we truly are in over our heads with no way to bail out. But Jesus came to the rescue. He saved us from drowning in our sins and doubts, and he preserves our lives so that neither doubt nor death overtakes us. After Jesus rescued Peter, he got in the boat with Peter. Jesus doesn’t leave us alone to be tossed around by chance. He remains with us to bring a steady calm to a turbulent life. He keeps us afloat with his love and promise. There’s no need to doubt. Even when you can’t see him physically, Jesus strolls across the storms of life. Jesus gives us the foresight to know that in all things, he is with us, keeping us afloat by his grace. He gives us the faith that triumphs over doubt and the foresight to know that one day we will be with him in heaven. Prayer: Lord Jesus, forgive my doubts, calm my fears, and uplift me by your grace.

She was the voice of Sally Brown in the classic Peanuts television specials. Behind the apparent glamour, however, was a childhood marked by addiction, abuse, instability, and trauma. She eventually faced addiction herself before beginning a recovery journey that has now lasted more than 40 years.In this raw, candid, and deeply hopeful conversation, Hilary explains what it means to stop leading with your wound—and why taking ownership of your life is not the same as accepting blame for what happened to you.After 40 years, she managed the first sober living house for women in the United States, and built a career helping others stop leading with their wounds. In this conversation, Hilary and Kevin talk about the difference between using your story for help versus using it for hope, why owning your past is the only way to change it, and how forgiveness works as a process rather than a moment.We explore:- How trauma can create people-pleasers, loners, and controllers- Why victimhood can quietly become part of our identity- The difference between acknowledging your wounds and allowing them to drive- Why forgiveness does not always require reconciliation- How Hilary developed empathy for the mother who traumatized her- The unexpected moment that changed how she viewed her childhood- How faith, service, and responsibility helped her move from pain to purpose- What Sally Brown may have revealed about Hilary all along- Her mantra...Thank You God, Thank You God, Thank You God.Hilary does not minimize what happened to her. She shows us how to stop allowing yesterday's wounds to determine today's life.Viewer advisory: This conversation contains candid discussion of addiction, childhood abuse, sexual trauma, and explicit language.00:00 Pain, love, and our relationship with suffering02:30 Meet Hilary Momberger Powers03:25 Who was little Hilary?06:55 How childhood trauma changes us09:00 Living from the outside in11:20 People-pleasers, loners, and controllers13:20 Taking ownership without accepting blame19:20 From child actor to addiction and survival25:00 Why victimhood becomes an identity28:25 The brother who helped save Hilary32:20 Finding joy on the other side of pain35:05 Can we learn to love our parents again?37:20 What it means to lead with your wound39:55 Forgiveness does not require confrontation42:20 Hilary's difficult forgiveness exercise44:25 Seeing her own retaliation47:15 Understanding the mother who hurt her49:35 “It's never too late to have a happy childhood”52:30 Healing from the inside out54:15 Changing the story when your parents are gone57:50 The surprising connection to Sally Brown59:20 Using your past—or repeating it63:25 One practice you can begin immediately64:50 Connect with Hilary66:00 Final thoughtsCONNECT WITH HILARYWebsite: hilarymombergerpowers.comLinkedIn: @hilary-momberger-powers-078a604Instagram: @hilarymombergerpowers/Learn more about Hilary's coaching, speaking, books, and the No Longer Leading With Your Wound method through her website.CONNECT WITH KEVINhttps://linktr.ee/kevinmcnultyBook: The Gap Between Two Worlds#growyourself #personalgrowth #traumarecovery #healing #recoveryjourney #forgiveness #faith #HilaryMombergerPowers

If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 162) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 162: The Business of Intimacy with Joél Leon" — it was released on August 3, 2026.In XYBM 162, we sit down with Joél Leon — writer, poet, speaker, and community builder — for a conversation about the one thing Black men don't practice enough: emotional intimacy with each other. We break down the male loneliness epidemic from the inside out, reframe love languages as something we owe our friends and brothers, not just our partners, and draw a direct line between the depth of our friendships and the success of our business relationships.This is a must-watch for any Black man who has a group chat that only comes alive during the NBA/NFL season and goes quiet the rest of the year — and for anyone ready to understand why the intimacy you're avoiding with your friends is the same intimacy holding back your business, your relationships, and your mental health. Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.Leave a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if you found value in this episode or a previous episode!BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

When a boss's email, meeting request, or tone of feedback feels disproportionately intense, it may not be about the present moment alone. For many people, workplace dynamics can quietly reactivate older emotional patterns tied to childhood experiences of criticism, invisibility, powerlessness, or conditional approval. This episode explores how that happens—and how to recognize when the nervous system is responding to the past, not just the job.In this episode:Why authority figures at work can unconsciously resemble early caregiversHow simple workplace feedback can trigger shame, fear, or collapseThe role of childhood experiences in shaping adult stress responsesWhy “professionalism” can sometimes override emotional self-protectionHow to tell the difference between present-day feedback and old emotional memoryWhat it means to stay grounded when the body reacts before the mind can interpretThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

I interviewed Director Minhyuk Che & Producer Sngmoo Lee about 8pm and the Cat on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for 8pm and the Cat: "Cartoonist Haru loses his partner, Mina, in the Itaewon tragedy. Since then, 8 pm — the hour she used to come home — keeps repeating: an ordinary moment in daily life now shadowed by her absence. Within that single hour, different emotional rooms unfold. Images and monologues are generated in real time, shaping singular emotional moments. This generative VR experience invites the audience into Haru's ongoing process of mourning — through the act of constantly drawing and speaking about her." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Death, Loss, Grief [8] of a primary partner [7], the Pain and Suffering [12], as well as the home and artifacts that carry the memories of a relationship [4] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: Story of loss and grief - The connection between Space and Emotion2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Tell the story off loss by montage sequences of objects, spaces, and the liminal afterlife3rd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Generative AI prompt -- But also certain aspects of the story is also being dynamically generated and changes each time, although this is harder to discern what was authored and what was generative4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Monologues / subtitles Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Incredible loss and grief, and the malaise of that, allusions to the afterlife as it explores the theme of "loving someone for a long time, beyond absence" - Cyclical nature of time of the Chronos Time and Kairos Time, with 8p becoming a daily reminder of the loss. "October 29, 2022: 159 people did not return home from Itaewon. The hour stayed still." Artist Statement: "When a friend told me they didn't know how to live after losing the person they loved most, I didn't know what to say. How could I possibly grasp the depth of that grief? We don't even know what it truly means to overcome such sorrow. Maybe it means to keep longing for the one who's gone, to keep speaking to them, to let them stay alive inside us. This work was an attempt to hold onto that feeling — of loving someone for a long time, beyond absence." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ3HCloXspk This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.
