The host and callers discuss specific fears, like galeophobia (fear of sharks) intensified by the movie Jaws, and the evolutionary roots of other common phobias. The conversation also briefly includes tangential topics, such as cryptids like Bigfoot and crop circles, and the host's reaction to a caller who attempts to steer the subject toward political commentary about Trump.

Today we're unpacking a topic that so many families struggle to understand—Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD—especially when it shows up in children. My guest is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a clinical psychologist and author of the newly updated and revised edition of her seminal book Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In our conversation, Tamar and I talk about how our understanding of OCD has evolved over the past 25 years, what intrusive thoughts really are, and how parents can recognize and respond to them with compassion and clarity. Tamar walks us through her five-step approach for helping kids manage OCD effectively, and she offers a message of hope—reminding us that with the right support, children can learn to take charge of their thoughts and lead full, joyful lives. About Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D. Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D., founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, has helped thousands of children overcome fears and gripping mental compulsions.

What does the Bible say about having a phobia? Is it a sin for a Christian to have a phobia? How can I overcome my phobias?

Hot Take / Art Break: Why the Art World's Tech-Phobia Is Burning Us Out (video podcast)This week, I'm tackling a question that might make some people uncomfortable: Why does the art world resist technology?We celebrate experimentation and boundary-pushing in artistic practice, but when it comes to the everyday operations of galleries, institutions, and artist support systems, we're still relying on workflows that haven't meaningfully changed in decades. From unpaid interns spending entire days resizing JPEGs and searching through disorganized folders, to galleries operating at the edge of capacity because basic administrative tasks consume all available time, the operational stagnation is real, and it's burning people out.In this episode, I explore why the resistance exists (spoiler: it's cultural, not technical), what the consequences are for artists, gallerists, and emerging professionals, and why adopting technology isn't about replacing human expertise. Instead, it's about making the art world livable. I'm not talking about AI-generated art or NFT speculation. I'm talking about digital archives, CRM systems, and tools that free up mental space for the work that actually matters: thinking, researching, curating, and connecting.It's time we stopped treating exhaustion as a badge of honor and started asking: What could the art world look like if we worked smarter, not just harder?YOU CAN SUPPORT ALL ABOUT ART ON PATREON HERE: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/allaboutart⁠FOLLOW ALL ABOUT ART ON INSTAGRAM HERE: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/allaboutartpodcast/⁠ ABOUT THE HOST:I am an Austrian-American art historian, curator, and writer.

We've all got fears. For some, it's the dark, for others, it's spiders, heights, or maybe even something as ordinary as a phone call. But when those fears take root and are no longer reasonable; when they take over, that's when they cross into the territory of phobias. Phobias remind us that our brains, for all their brilliance, aren't always working in our favor and are flawed. According to a survey by Anxiety UK, there are ten phobias that show up more often than the rest. So what are these phobias? And are there any phobias related to animals?In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where does our phobia of clowns come from?

You know that moment when you realize civilization might have peaked at “salt, oil, and potato”? That's where we begin this bonus episode. Pete, Tommy, and returning culinary chaos agent Mandy Kaplan gather around a table piled high with some of the strangest snack inventions ever unleashed on the palate—because if adulthood is about making terrible decisions and pretending they're research, then this is a dissertation.Armed with a scientific scoring system that rates flavor accuracy, emotional resonance, and the elusive chaos factor, the trio wade bravely into the salty abyss: Late Night Loaded Taco Doritos, Dill Pickle Lays, Flamin' Hot Limón Cheetos, Hot Ones Verde Pringles, Pizza Pringles, Special Sauce Kettle Chips, and a truly cursed bag of Stranger Things “Cool Ranch Collisions.”Along the way, Pete delivers a history lesson revealing that the potato chip was invented out of spite (because of course it was), Tommy questions every life choice that brought him to this recording, and Mandy achieves spiritual awakening through protein chips. Together they confront the unspoken truth of snack evolution: we've weaponized flavor.This is an episode about chips, sure—but it's also about curiosity, regret, and the very adult ability to know better and eat it anyway. So grab a bag, loosen your moral compass, and join us as we discover which chip truly embodies the modern condition: chaotic, over-flavored, and proud of it.Get the whole show!

In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry had the pleasure of interviewing her friend Estella, whom she met at a Dr. Richard Bandler NLP conference. Estella's journey of overcoming a severe snake phobia in less than an hour serves as a powerful testament to the transformative potential of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).The conversation begins by reflecting on Estella's intense fear of snakes, which had previously dominated her life to the point where she avoided any mention of them, even on television. Dr. Tara shared her excitement about the opportunity to help her confront this fear, especially since she was not afraid of the other phobias we were addressing that day, such as spiders, heights, and public speaking.Estella recounted her experience leading up to the moment she had to touch a real snake. Her heart raced, and she felt a mix of horror and disbelief at the thought of facing her fear. However, through her session, Dr. Tara was able to guide her past her resistance, and she ultimately found the courage to not only touch the snake but to embrace it. This breakthrough was not just about the snake; it symbolized conquering fears that had held her back in various aspects of her life.Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Why are nurses a favorite target for horror movie villains? Why are nurses seen in movies as either sexy, satanic or dieties? In this spine-chilling episode of The Gritty Nurse, Amie Archibald-Varley and Guest Host Jordan Varley discuss the dark side of cinema's obsession with healthcare horror and nursing horror tropes.

Clowns are supposed to make you laugh, but often can make you shudder. What is supposed to be a figure of fun is for many the stuff of nightmares. Coulrophobia —the irrational fear of clowns that's surprisingly common. This has been reinforced by popular culture, and many horror film-makers know that a scary clown is the perfect recipe for thrills, resulting in them becoming an icon of terror. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology in February 2023 surveyed 900 individuals, revealing that 53% experienced clown-related fear. Participants pinpointed clown makeup as the primary source of discomfort, with its distortion of human features creating an air of menace. Unable to discern true emotions behind the painted facade, people feel unsettled by the clown's unpredictable antics. The Science Behind the Fear What exactly is so unnerving about clowns? Are murderous clowns a reality or mere fiction? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Episode 388: On the morning of August 5, 2013, Campbellton, New Brunswick, faced an unthinkable tragedy. Police and first responders were called to an apartment above Reptile Ocean, the town's reptile and fish shop, where they found Connor and Noah Barthe, brothers aged six and four, dead after a sleepover with their friend Jayce Savoie. Sometime in the night, a 12-foot, 53-pound African rock python owned by shopkeeper Jean-Claude Savoie escaped its enclosure, slithered through a vent, and fatally attacked the sleeping boys. The official cause of death was “traumatic asphyxia by constriction,” a finding that shocked the small community and quickly attracted national and international attention. As investigators began their work, residents struggled to comprehend how a night of friendship ended in such horror. Savoie was charged with criminal negligence causing death, setting the stage for a legal and ethical debate that would raise tough questions and stir deep emotions far beyond Campbellton.

In this episode, Jim Murphy, New York Times bestselling author, shares how leaders can build resilience, reframe fear, and operate at their highest level under pressure. His approach blends performance psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual discipline. 1. Identity Beyond Roles Murphy emphasizes the risk of anchoring identity in professional roles or achievements: “When I lost baseball due to injury, I felt like I lost everything. My whole identity was wrapped up in that role.” For executives and consultants, this is a reminder: leadership requires identity that outlasts titles, deals, or short-term wins. Anchoring in deeper values creates long-term stability. 2. Fear as a Performance Constraint Murphy defines fear as “a byproduct of self-centeredness.” The executive cost is high: constant comparison, judgment, and anxiety undermine decision-making. He identifies three key obstacles to peak performance: Excessive, scattered thoughts Negative or judgmental self-talk Concern with others' opinions “When you're at your very best … there's no concern for self. You're totally caught up in the moment.” This mirrors what elite consultants and CEOs must practice: focus on the work, not the ego. 3. Rewiring Fear and Trauma Murphy reframes fear and phobias: “Phobias are your subconscious working perfectly to protect you.” Through structured methods and neuroplasticity, leaders can “rewire” how they respond to past failures and pressure. “You can have a phobia for 50 years, and it can be gone in less than an hour.” For executives, the takeaway is clear: performance limits are rarely permanent, they can be retrained. 4. Freedom Through Surrender and Detachment Murphy shares a practical mantra he learned from an athlete he trained: “I expect nothing. I can handle anything.” This principle strips away attachment to outcomes, freeing leaders to make bolder, less ego-driven decisions. As he puts it: “The most powerful thing anyone can do is surrender their little strength for the power that grows the grass and spins the earth.” For leaders, this translates into resilience, the ability to operate under uncertainty without fear of reputational or financial loss clouding judgment. 5. The Best Possible Life (and Career) Murphy notes: “The best possible life has one foot in joy and one foot in suffering. We can't gain wisdom without going through hard things.” For high performers, this is a critical leadership principle: growth requires discomfort. A career without setbacks yields little wisdom. 6. Practical Tools Leaders Can Use Murphy provides several techniques executives can adopt immediately: Breath control: slowing to 5–6 breaths per minute to stabilize thought patterns under pressure. Structured reflection: gratitude, presence, and visualization as part of a daily routine. Ego discipline: exercises that reduce the need for external validation and increase clarity in communication.   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Get Exclusive Episode 1 Access of How to Build a Consulting Practice: www.firmsconsulting.com/build   Enjoying this episode?

Have you ever felt stuck between knowing what you should do and actually following through? That gap between intention and action isn't a character flaw - it's your brain running old programs. What if you could rewrite them? That's exactly what I explored with Dr. David Spiegel, pioneer in clinical hypnotherapy research, author, and founder of the Reveri self-hypnosis app. He breaks down how hypnosis isn't mind control or stage tricks, but a focused state of attention that helps you get out of your own way and create real change in your sleep, eating, weight, pain, stress, and habits. We talk about the science of self-hypnosis, why it works when insight alone doesn't, and how technology is making it accessible to everyone. Dr. Spiegel also guides me (and you) through a live mini-session so you can feel what it's like yourself. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome: Dr. David Spiegel 02:00 What Hypnosis Really Is (and Isn't) 07:30 How Hypnosis Rewires the Brain and Reduces Pain 13:00 Self-Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Habit Change 20:00 Hypnosis vs. Meditation 26:00 The Reveri Self-Hypnosis App 33:00 Brain Science Behind Hypnosis 38:00 Using Hypnosis for Anxiety, Phobias, and Pain 47:00 Final Thoughts and Dr. Spiegel's Mission What would change if you stopped relying on willpower alone and started using your brain's own hidden tools for healing and growth? If you've been feeling stuck and aren't sure why, my What's Holding You Back? Quiz can help you uncover the hidden patterns, beliefs, or behaviors that might be silently sabotaging your progress. It's a quick, eye-opening way to gain clarity and take the first step forward. And let's stay connected beyond the podcast - I'm sharing new tools and insights every week on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. If this episode sparked a question or an idea you'd like me to cover in the future, I'd love to hear from you. Let's talk! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self P.S. Before we wrap up, I want to thank the sponsor of today's episode, Headway. We've been talking about the power of self-hypnosis to rewire your mind, and for me, reading is another way I open myself up to new perspectives. But life is busy, and I don't always have the time to curl up with a full book. That's why I love Headway. It takes the best books on psychology, personal growth, and beyond, and distills them into bite-sized insights I can actually fit into my day. I use it every morning, and it's such a simple way to keep growing. And the best part? You can save 25% when you go to makeheadway.com/lhs and use code LHS. Here's to learning, healing, and creating the kind of change that lasts.
