In this episode, Jared chats with Jack Mullinkosson, whose Chinese-learning journey runs from a Vice China documentary set… to living with a Chinese immigrant family in suburban California… to studying in Chengdu… and now biking from Chengdu to Hanoi.Jack got started the way many learners do: by feeling left out. On set, surrounded by Chinese speakers, he noticed how differently the foreigners who spoke Mandarin were treated. Chinese looked like a superpower, and he wanted it.With plenty of downtime during the shoot, Jack began studying characters and survival phrases, boosted by the classic “Your Chinese is so good!” encouragement (even when it wasn't). That early confidence turned into a full-on obsession.Then COVID hit, and Jack found a creative workaround. Back in the U.S., he made a flyer in Chinese offering to live with a Chinese family in exchange for helping their kids with English. The result: four months in a Rancho Cucamonga “McMansion” shared by multiple Chinese families, nightly Mandarin dinners, and a crash course in immigrant hustle and real-world language practice.Along the way, Jack:Read Mandarin Companion graded readers to build his foundationUsed shadowing to level up tones and pronunciationLooked for chances to speak—even when it was inconvenientTurned everyday errands into “Chinese missions”After a few years in Brazil, where he learned Portuguese and became a remote software engineer, Jack returned to China with a new goal: connect Chinese to his career. He now makes videos in Chengdu, capturing spontaneous conversations with park shūshu fitness legends, friendly aunties selling plum wine, and locals who light up when a foreigner speaks Mandarin.And one of the coolest payoffs? While traveling in Spain, Jack used Chinese to order food from a Chinese restaurant owner when neither of them shared English or Spanish.Links from the episode:Jack Mullinkosson | InstagramMandarin Companion Graded Readers

Today's story: A “millionaire” is someone with a net worth of one million dollars. But the reality of a million dollars today is very different from when the word entered English in the late 1700s. Today's millionaires are more likely to drive ordinary cars, live in the suburbs, and manage their own daily chores than live the lavish lifestyles we often associate with the word “millionaire.”Transcript & Exercises: https://plainenglish.com/839Get the full story and learning resources: https://plainenglish.com/839--Plain English helps you improve your English:Learn about the world and improve your EnglishClear, natural English at a speed you can understandNew stories every weekLearn even more at PlainEnglish.comMentioned in this episode:Hard words?

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:14 — Jesus, Hold Me Close When I Feel Weary and Drained Tonight” Romans 8:28 — “All things work together for the good…”** THEME (Português): cansaço • fim de tarde • esperança renovada • confiança em Deus Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Angola • Índia • EUA • Portugal Psalm 91:14 (NIV): “‘Because he loves Me,' says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name.'” Romans 8:28 (NIV): “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him…” Jesus, as evening settles across Brasil and spreads through Angola, Índia, Portugal, and the EUA, many hearts feel the weight of a long day. Some listeners step into the evening exhausted, navigating worries that press against the mind. Outros estão cansados emocionalmente, carregando responsabilidades, lutas silenciosas e momentos difíceis que drenam a esperança. Yet Your Palavra brings assurance: You protect those who call on Your name, and You hold close every weary soul that turns toward You. Hold us close tonight, Jesus. Let Your presença bring calm to the thoughts that will not settle. Where discouragement tries to root itself, plant renewed esperança. Where the day's failures echo loudly, speak quiet truth: that You redeem, restore, and realign all things for good. Let nothing steal the confidence that comes from knowing we are deeply loved and never abandoned. For those in Brasil finishing long shifts, for those in Índia navigating late-evening responsibilities, for families in Portugal preparing to rest, and for listeners in the EUA still in the middle of their afternoon—wrap every heart with Your cuidado. Traga paz onde há ansiedade. Traga descanso onde há peso. Let the night become a turning point, not a burden. Jesus, gather our worries, gather our fatigue, gather the pressures that linger, and hold them in Your strong hands. You are faithful in every estação, faithful in every detalhe, faithful in every caminho ahead.

But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Jesus, as the night deepens across Brasil, Moçambique, Índia, Cabo Verde, and the EUA, many hearts whisper quiet prayers that only You can hear. Some feel waves of angústia stirring within, thoughts that rise and fall like an inner tempest. Outros carregam preocupações silenciosas, pedindo ajuda mas sem saber como expressar o peso. Yet Your Palavra stands firm: when we call, You answer, and when trouble comes, You stand perto, never distant, never absent. Calm the storm inside tonight, Jesus. Bring ordem onde há confusão. Bring descanso onde há inquietação. Let every heart that feels pressed by uncertainty take courage from Your vitória. For those in Brasil ending long days with emotional strain, comfort their spirits. For listeners in Índia navigating late-evening responsibilities, steady their pensamentos. For families in Cabo Verde and the Portuguese-speaking world preparing for rest, fill their homes with quiet assurance that You are near. You do not overlook the struggles that move through the mind at night. You meet us within them. You remind us that the storms inside are not stronger than Your peace. Your presence shifts the atmosphere, lifts the weight, and gives space for esperança to breathe again. Jesus, hear our call and answer with calm, clarity, and renewed força. Let this hour become a moment of spiritual vitória, a reminder that we are never alone as we journey into the night. oração da noite, angústia, conforto de Jesus, vitória espiritual, paz interior, Brazilian devotional, Psalm 91 Portuguese, evening prayer, esperança, descanso emocional Psalm 91:15, John 16:33, Brazilian Christian prayer, Reverend Ben Cooper, evening devotional, global prayer podcast, calm the mind prayerSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:2 — Jesus, Be My Refuge When Fear Speaks in the Quiet Hours” Matthew 11:28 — “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.” THEME (Português): medo • descanso • presença de Deus • esperança na madrugada Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Portugal • Índia • EUA • Angola Psalm 91:2 (NIV): “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” Matthew 11:28 (NIV): “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” In these quiet early hours when fear often whispers louder than peace, Jesus, You invite us to rest in Your presence. As the world sleeps and worries try to rise, You speak softly into the heart: I am your refuge, I am your fortress, I am your peace. For Brazil, for Portugal, for India, for the USA, for every nation represented in this global devotional community, these words remain unshaken — Your refuge is not distant, Your care is not delayed, Your covering is not uncertain. In the madrugada, when thoughts feel heavy and the mind drifts toward anxious places, Your voice calls us back to stillness and comfort. You draw near with esperança, descanso, segurança, and quiet reassurance. Jesus, let this early-morning prayer become a shelter for every listener seeking calm. Let Your presence steady those facing emotional storms, those weary from carrying tomorrow's weight, those longing for rest beneath Your shadow. You promised rest to the weary, and tonight we lean into that promise with full trust. Help us breathe deeply under Your wings, knowing that nothing in these hours is outside Your faithful care. Let Your peace settle over Brazilian homes, Portuguese families, Indian communities, American hearts, and every listener around the world who seeks refuge in these words. Hold us close in these quiet hours, Lord. Let courage gently rise. Let Your peace become stronger than fear. Let Your presence lead us into the morning with renewed trust, renewed strength, and renewed hope. night prayer, oração da madrugada, Psalm 91 devotional, early morning peace, fear and rest in Jesus, Portuguese Christian prayer, hope for Brazil, comfort in God, madrugada devotional, global prayer community Psalm 91, Matthew 11:28, Brazil prayer, Portuguese Christian, madrugada prayer, early morning worship, global devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper, daily prayerSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:4 — Jesus, Cover Me With Your Wings as a New Day Begins SECOND: Philippians 4:6–7 — “The peace of God will guard your hearts…” THEME (Português): proteção • ansiedade matinal • paz interior • oração para ansiedade Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Portugal • Índia • EUA • Moçambique Psalm 91:4 (NIV) “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge…” Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV): “…the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” As this new day rises, Jesus, we come beneath the covering of Your wings, trusting that every anxious thought meets Your steady peace. Morning can awaken worries before it awakens hope, yet Your Palavra reminds us that proteção, descanso, and segurança are already waiting in Your presence. For Brazil awakening in the early light, for Portugal stepping into the day, for India beginning new responsibilities, for listeners across the USA and around the world preparing for their morning hours, Your refuge is strong and unchanging. You cover the heart, quiet the racing thoughts, soften the emotional weight, and bring the kind of paz interior no circumstance can shatter. Jesus, guard our minds as we step into this day. Where anxiety rises, let Your peace descend. Where fear imagines what could go wrong, let faith remember what You have promised. Under Your wings, we find courage to face decisions, clarity to navigate uncertainty, and comfort for the hidden places that feel unsteady. Let these morning moments become a sanctuary — a refuge of calm before the demands of life begin to speak loudly. May this global community, from Brasil to Índia to the EUA, feel the nearness of Your presence and the strength of Your promise. Let Your covering be more than imagery; let it be experience. Let Your peace be more than words; let it be reality. As the day unfolds, keep our hearts steady, our minds guarded, and our spirits anchored in the love that never fails. oração da manhã, Psalm 91 morning prayer, ansiedade matinal, paz interior, proteção divina, Brazilian Christian prayer, esperança em Jesus, devotional global, early morning calm, under His wings Psalm 91, Philippians 4:6–7, Brazilian devotional, Portuguese prayer, morning anxiety prayer, Reverend Ben Cooper, global prayer podcast, daily prayerSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:5 — Jesus, Strengthen Me When My Mind Feels Overwhelmed” 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you.” THEME (Português): medo do dia • pensamentos pesados • força espiritual • graça de Jesus Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Portugal • Índia • EUA • Angola Psalm 91:5 (NIV): “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV): “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Jesus, as the day moves forward and responsibilities gather like clouds around the mind, we ask for Your força espiritual to steady every thought. Many across Brazil navigate pressure, decisões difíceis, emotional weight, and the silent battles of the heart. Across Portugal, Índia, and the EUA, listeners step into hours filled with expectations, deadlines, and the quiet feeling of being stretched too thin. Yet Your Palavra reminds us: we do not face the day alone, and we do not walk into its challenges without the coverage of Your protection. Let Your grace settle over every overwhelmed heart. Where pensamentos pesados rise, let Your promise speak louder. Where fear whispers about what could go wrong, let Your strength lift what feels impossible. Jesus, You meet us in the middle of the busy hours, not demanding perfection but offering presence. Under Your care, the “arrow that flies by day” loses its power, for You hold our steps and guard our emotions. May Your peace move through our thoughts like gentle light breaking into a crowded room. Help us breathe slowly, think clearly, and trust deeply. Let every listener—from São Paulo to Lisboa, from Mumbai to New York—experience the calm that comes from knowing Your graça é suficiente. Your covering is not symbolic; it is real, steady, and active in every hour we walk through. Strengthen us today, Jesus. Guard our minds. Settle our hearts.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:11 — Jesus, Command Your Angels to Guard My Steps Today” SECOND: Hebrews 1:14 — “Are not all angels ministering spirits…?” THEME (Português): proteção divina • viagem • decisões • segurança emocional Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Moçambique • Índia • EUA • Cabo Verde Psalm 91:11 (NIV): “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” Hebrews 1:14 (NIV): “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Jesus, as midday arrives and the pace of life intensifies, we pause beneath the promise of Your proteção divina. Many across Brasil face decisões urgentes, trânsito pesado, desafios no trabalho, and emotional pressures that rise with the heat of the day. In Portugal, Índia, the EUA, and Cabo Verde, listeners navigate travel, meetings, responsibilities, and moments where clarity feels distant. Yet Your Palavra assures us that Your cuidado is active, present, and deeply attentive. Guard our steps today, Senhor. Let every caminho be covered by Your angels—those sent to serve, protect, and guide. Where uncertainty stands in the road ahead, let safety unfold. Where stress begins to cloud judgment, bring calm, wisdom, and emotional steadiness. Wrap us in the assurance that we are not walking alone; Your presence leads, surrounds, and holds every detail of our journey. Jesus, we ask for discernment as choices appear quickly and without warning. Strengthen those who feel pressured or stretched. Lift the hearts of those struggling with ansiedade sobre o futuro. Let peace settle where confusion tries to intrude. May Your angels guard our minds from fear, our hearts from worry, and our paths from harm. For every listener moving through airports, roads, schools, hospitals, offices, homes, or difficult conversations—let Your covering be tangible. Let this midday prayer become a pause of proteção, reminding us that Your cuidado is real and constant. Onde houver insegurança, traga confiança. Onde houver medo, traga paz. Guide our steps, Jesus.

Wolfie give you the details of Pereira being officially announced as the new Forest Head Coach! Sign up to Octopus Energy Here: https://www.patreon.com/ForestFanTV It's official, Reds. Nottingham Forest have today confirmed the appointment of Vítor Pereira as our new head coach, making him the fourth permanent manager to lead the club this season. Following the late-night sacking of Sean Dyche after the Wolves stalemate, Evangelos Marinakis has wasted no time in bringing in a man he knows well from their successful days at Olympiacos. The club statement released this afternoon confirms that the 57-year-old Portuguese coach has put pen to paper on an 18-month contract, keeping him at the City Ground until the summer of 2027. He brings with him a full backroom team, including long-term assistants Filipe Almeida and Luis Silva, as we look to find some desperate stability in this chaotic campaign. Wolfie is here to break down the club statement and what this 18-month deal actually tells us about the board's long-term (or short-term) vision. Is an 18-month contract a sign of confidence, or is it a "survival-first" safety net? With Forest currently sitting just three points above the drop zone and a massive Europa League trip to Pereira's former club, Fenerbahçe, just days away, there is no time for a honeymoon period. We're looking at Pereira's track record—from his back-to-back titles at Porto to his "Houdini" act with Wolves last season—to see if he's truly the man to transform our attacking talent. How are we feeling about the official word, Reds? Does an 18-month deal feel right to you, or are we already looking at manager number four?

Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper Brazil • Nepal • Mozambique • Canada • Portugal Jesus, as night settles across Brazil, Nepal, Mozambique, Canada, and Portugal, Your invitation becomes gentle and unmistakably clear: “Come to Me.” These words from Matthew 11:28 soften the worries that sit quietly within the mind.

You do not ask me to hold everything together. You simply ask me to come. 1 Peter 5:7 reminds me that every thought, every fear, every hidden weight can be released into Your care. Jesus, let Your peace stretch across the tired places of my heart. Let the pressure ease. Let the anxious thoughts slow down. Senhor, leva a minha ansiedade e enche-me de paz. Many around the world are searching right now for rest that feels real, steady, and lasting. You provide that rest—not by removing responsibility, but by lifting the emotional load. Jesus, tonight I place every burden into Your hands. The expectations, the uncertainty about tomorrow, the quiet pressures that linger in the background—take them. Replace them with renewed strength, gentle clarity, and a calm confidence in Your nearness. As I breathe, let my heart settle. As I rest, let my mind quieten. As I sleep, let Your peace stay close.

Episode #485: “I am not talking as a representative of Anya. I am just a normal person from Anya,” says Saw Bosco, a Myanmar peace process practitioner, grassroots educator on federalism, and political economy researcher. Drawing on his life as a Catholic from Myanmar's central dry zone, he connects faith, identity, violence, and economics to argue that peace cannot exist without dignity, inclusion, and material survival for ordinary people. Bosco was raised in a small Bayingyi community, descendants of Portuguese settlers long absorbed into Burmese culture. Although culturally local, their Catholic faith marked them as different within a state that rigidly links race, religion, and citizenship. Growing up as a “double minority,” Bosco learned that marginalized groups often try to blend in to survive, even when doing so offers no real protection under the law or in society. He explains that Christian identity is lived differently across Myanmar. In Christian-majority ethnic states such as Chin or Kachin, religious life is practiced publicly, even if under state constraints. In Buddhist-majority regions, however, Bamar or mixed-heritage Christians do not fit the state's standardized race–religion templates, leaving them subject to heightened bureaucratic scrutiny over identity documents, education, employment, and mobility. After the 2021 coup, this vulnerability intensified into targeted violence in places like Sagaing, where Christian villages were destroyed not only for resisting military rule but because religious difference made brutality easier to justify. Bosco situates these experiences within a broader critique of identity politics, federalism, and peacebuilding. He warns that opposition politics remain organized around ethnic categories that fail to represent newer regional and post-ethnic identities driving resistance today. His skepticism is shaped by his earlier involvement in the National Ceasefire Agreement, which he describes as an elite-driven process disconnected from civilian lives. At the center of his analysis is political economy. Across the Sagaing region, farmers face debt, land insecurity, and military attacks that have turned agriculture into a battlefield. Bosco rejects narratives that celebrate this suffering as “resilience,” insisting instead that peace without economic justice merely reproduces inequality and leaves survival mistaken for stability. “We need to listen to what is happening in the central area as well, like why we are struggling at the political level.” he says in closing. “Of course, everything is very important, for every single political movement and for everyone. But the life of the people from central area is also a unique experience, like the other ethnic people out there.”

Today, we're discussing all things gaming in China! Our illustrious guest is Daniel Camilo, a Portuguese national who has spent over a decade in the Chinese video game industry. We cover the most important titles, publishing and development trends, and where the industry is headed. We discuss: How China's game industry climbed the value chain from low-cost mobile and PC titles to globally competitive AAA releases, Why Genshin Impact reset global expectations, becoming the template for live-service “cash cows,” China's domestic market's newfound self-sufficiency, as hundreds of millions of middle-class gamers mean Chinese developers no longer need international success, Steam's magical liminal status in China as a de facto gateway for uncensored and imported games, Why gaming is a global language in ways movies and music aren't, and how mechanics and genres travel even when stories don't, The Wuchang: Fallen Feathers controversy, where nationalist backlash led to patched-out boss deaths and preemptive self-censorship. We also cover Daniel's pick for the biggest Chinese game of 2026, the looming Genshin-style live-service bubble, and how a game set in 1984 East Germany channels distinctly Chinese workplace anxiety.

Marco Lopez is an author, speaker, and consultant with more than a decade of experience in the field of mental performance. He holds a Humanities degree from Brigham Young University with minors in Business and Music and was personally mentored by legendary thought leader Bob Proctor.Catalyzed by a traumatic family experience that prompted him to reevaluate the direction of his life and return to his core purpose, Marco transitioned from a tech executive into a human-potential expert. Driven by a desire to help people better access their God-given potential—and recognizing that the business world often prioritizes systems and processes over its greatest resource, the productive power of people—he embarked on an intensive journey of study and real-world application focused on human potential and the power of the mind.Over time, Marco synthesized his own work with the insights of leading philosophers, scientists, and visionary thinkers, including his father's in-depth research, into a practical, proven system that helps people better understand themselves, quiet mental noise, and operate with greater clarity and purpose.An international singer and mental performance expert, Marco uniquely blends principles from music, business, and psychology to help people bypass mental resistance and access their highest human capacity—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This rare integration allows him to serve as a conduit for deep “flow,” enabling others to perform and lead at their best. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Marco has traveled to more than 12 countries sharing his message of human potential and inner mastery, and has shared the stage with business leaders such as Bob Kittell, Rey Perez, and Loral Langemeier. When not working with entrepreneurs and leadership teams, he enjoys being outdoors and traveling with his wife and five children, living the same principles of presence, purpose, and creativity that he teaches.Learn more: http://marcolopez360.comInfluential Entrepreneurs with Mike Saundershttps://businessinnovatorsradio.com/influential-entrepreneurs-with-mike-saunders/Source: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-marco-lopez-mental-performance-expert-for-visionaries

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 33,086 on turnover of 12.1-billion N-T. The market ended at a high of just over 33,000 points on Tuesday as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing registered strong gains after its American depositary receipts closed at a record price overnight. MOEA sets aside NT$30 billion to cushion auto industry amid US tariff deal The Ministry of Economic Affairs has set aside 30-billion N-T to support Taiwan's automobile industry as it prepares for changes to tariffs under a Taiwan-US trade agreement, According to Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin, initial assessments indicate that the impact on domestic industrial output could exceed (超過) 1-per cent but will remain "manageable." Kung says the funding will help the automobile and auto parts industry absorb (吸收)shocks, advance transformation and upgrading, and strengthen independent research and development and exports. Kung also says any tariff arrangements will apply only to US-made vehicles and such vehicles will be defined only if they meet country of origin and value-added content requirements consistent with existing international standards. Population declines for 25th consecutive month The Ministry of the Interior says the island's population fell for a 25th consecutive month in January -- with the number of live births falling by 304 from December of 2025. According to the latest data, as of the end of January, the population totaled 23,289,045, down 10,087 from December. A total of 8,723 babies were born in January, 304 fewer than in December and 772 fewer than a year earlier. The interior ministry says that translates to roughly one birth every 5.1 minutes and an annual crude birth rate (粗出生率) of 4.41 per 1,000 people. Deaths totaled 17,529 in January, or about one every 2.5 minutes and the crude death rate was 8.86 per 1,000 people White House defends Trump Canada bridge attack The White House has defended US President Donald Trump's threat to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Ontario with Michigan. Trump has told Canada his administration needs to be "fully compensated for everything", despite (儘管) both countries co-owning the bridge. Nick Harper reports from Washington on the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's comments. Chile Launches OpenSource AI Language Model for Latin American Culture Chile has launched the first open-source AI language model trained on Latin American culture. Called Latam-GPT, the two-year effort is led by Chile's National Center of Artificial Intelligence and supported by over 30 institutions. It aims to reflect regional realities in AI. Chilean President Gabriel Boric emphasized the importance of Latin America's role in the AI revolution. Latam-GPT, announced at the February 2025 Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, addresses linguistic biases (語言的偏誤) in models trained mainly on English data. It uses Latin American data and will initially operate in Spanish and Portuguese, with plans to include Indigenous languages later. That was the I.C.R.T.

Family estrangement is becoming increasingly common in the United States, with nearly one in four Americans now estranged from at least one close family member. In this episode of the Feel Free Again Podcast, I sit down with grief recovery specialist Victoria to have a deeply honest, nuanced conversation about why family estrangement happens, when it may be necessary, and when it may actually be causing more harm than healing. We talk about unresolved grief, emotional pain, mismatched values, expectations, boundaries, forgiveness, and the cultural shifts that have changed how families relate to one another. I share what I've seen after working with hundreds of people in grief recovery — adult children, parents, siblings — all heartbroken, often good people on both sides of the estrangement. We explore how unfinished emotional business, misunderstood boundaries, and unspoken expectations can quietly dismantle relationships, sometimes without either side fully understanding why. This conversation is not about shaming anyone for choosing distance. It's about clarity, emotional responsibility, and reclaiming your agency. Grief recovery offers tools to help you assess whether estrangement is protecting you — or whether unresolved pain is driving decisions that don't align with who you truly are. If you're navigating family conflict, estrangement, forgiveness, or emotional healing, this episode will challenge you to slow down, reflect, and consider a different path forward. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 — Why Family Estrangement Is Rising 05:12 — Cultural Shifts and the Breakdown of Family Systems 09:47 — Expectations, Boundaries, and Planned Disappointments 14:01 — The Danger of Acting on Incomplete Emotional Pain 18:48 — Taking 1% Responsibility and Reclaiming Power 23:32 — Why Forgiveness Isn't Weakness 28:23 — When Boundaries Become Emotional Walls 33:56 — The Grief of Parents Estranged From Adult Children 39:46 — Love, Acceptance, and Letting Others Choose 45:12 — How Grief Recovery Helps Heal or Clarify Estrangement 47:12 — Detoxing From Collective Drama Before Family Gatherings 50:47 — Teaching Kids Responsibility for Their Own Feelings 53:26 — Grieving the Child Who Is Growing Up 1:00:55 — How to Know If Estrangement Was the Right Choice Connect with Victoria: Website: https://theunleashedheart.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriavolk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theunleashedheartllc/ GRM Website: https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/grms/victoria-volk About the Host:  Cole James, President of the Grief Recovery Institute, shares about the Power of Grief Recovery! Cole is dedicating his life to help people with grief. Now, grief is much more than just losing someone. Did you know that? You've probably heard of the Five Stages of Grief, right? Well, this goes much deeper than you think. Let me explain. Everyone has some type of grief in their lives, some haven't yet, but it's part of life. We can't escape it, BUT we can work through it. And you don't have to do it alone. Let's talk about it. We have trained Grief Recovery Method Specialists, who help heartbroken people, in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, Central America, South America, and North America.
