What if you weren't meant to trust blindly, but to trust wisely? Trust is sacred - and when it's broken, it's easy to shut down or swing toward over-trusting.

She shares how defining her family's values—like safety and kindness—became an anchor point during meltdowns, transitions, and everyday stress. In this episode, Adriane walks us through:

In this powerful conversation, investigative journalist Shoshana Walter exposes the dark underbelly of America's rehab industry. Drawing from her eight years of research for Rehab: An American Scandal, she reveals how court-ordered rehab programs have exploited vulnerable people by sending them to work unpaid in dangerous jobs — all under the guise of “treatment.” We discuss: The shocking origins of these labor-based rehabs and how they became so widespread Why our mainstream treatment system often fails people — and in some cases, increases overdose risk Real-life stories of individuals like Chris, April, and Wendy that illustrate both the broken system and the resilience of those fighting for change How loopholes and lack of oversight allow unethical rehabs to thrive Practical ways families can identify quality treatment programs and avoid predatory ones Despite the heavy subject, this episode ends with hope: a growing community of advocates and storytellers pushing for systemic change. Before we jump in, I just wanted to give you a little update on what I've been up to, and share a new meeting I'll be hosting. After creating and teaching a course called “Inner Compass”, I was feeling super burned out, so I decided to take some time off. I called it my "Self-Care Summer". I didn't do any new interviews, take on any new clients, or do any social media. It was a time to reset, heal and think about the direction of my work. My guiding thoughts were centered around one question: "What does God want for my life?" I was practicing total surrender, and I gotta tell you, it was a leap of faith, but then something interesting happened. Two podcasters published interviews I gave, and I realized something. I truly love sharing what I've learned in recovery. It really fills my heart with joy. That's why I've been doing the Sobriety Reset series for those who are coming back from another “Day 1”. Also I was invited to partner with OpenRecovery, a free app centered around recovery, to start a new community there. This means I'll be hosting free meetings that will make 12 principals accessible to my fellow skeptics, by providing a path around common obstacles. I'll leave links in the show notes so you can download the app, and there will be announcements for the launch date. I've been wanting to host a meeting since I published the book, and OpenRecovery is providing me with the platform! I'm really excited about it and I hope you'll join me. One last thing, if you enjoy this episode, it would mean the world to me if you leave a review on Apple Podcasts. It might surprise you to know that according to the analytics, less than 1% of our audience will actually leave a review. By leaving a review, it helps others who are suffering to find the podcast and get the life saving resources they need to get and stay sober. You can even think of leaving a review as an act of service! So thank you so much for your support! So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!
When evil boasts, truth must bear witness. After a screening of October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre at Lexington's historic Lyric Theater, we sat down with co-creator, Justin Kron, and Israeli believer, David Boskey, for an unfiltered Q&A. The conversation traces the long arc leading to October 7, why the online narrative flipped overnight, and how followers of Jesus should respond without naïveté or despair. We talk about the spiritual war beneath the politics, the cost of telling the truth, and the aching question of hostages still in captivity. We explore how trauma can open doors for real hope, and why any durable “peace plan” must deal with ideology and spiritual warfare, not just borders. Finally, we get practical: where to find reliable info, how to disciple the next generation against propaganda, and why churches must speak with clarity. We end with an invitation to pray, to gather, and to stand with Israel in a way that honors Messiah and blesses the nations. Key Takeaways October 7 exposed not just terror but a global information war; propaganda mobilized campuses within hours. Evil is real; Scripture frames this as a spiritual battle against what God blesses - including Israel's ongoing existence. Trauma in Israel is ongoing; hostages and a long war have reshaped daily life. Durable peace must confront indoctrination, not merely redraw maps. The Church's silence wounds; loving Israel is part of God's mission to the nations. Disciple your people before the internet does; recommend reliable sources and films. Practical next steps: pray, learn, gather, and share this film widely.

Sensory processing isn't always easy to spot, but it affects how kids experience the world in a big way. From clothing struggles to party meltdowns, what looks like “behavior” can often be a child's nervous system asking for help. That's why I sat down with occupational therapist Laura Petix, who specializes in sensory processing and works with families online to support kids with unique sensory needs. We talk about what sensory processing really means, sensory processing differences, how parents can recognize differences, and why shifting from “disorder” to “differences” matters for kids' self-esteem and support. Laura shares her own parenting experiences as a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent child, and we break down myths that leave parents feeling judged or confused. We cover: What sensory processing is and how it shapes daily life for kids The difference between typical toddler behavior and sensory differences Red flags that suggest a child might need more support The “sensory cup” analogy for understanding overstimulation and meltdowns Why discipline doesn't fix sensory needs, and what actually helps Practical ways parents can validate, regulate, and advocate for their kids To connect with Laura Petix check out all her resources at https://theotbutterfly.com/.

What began as an online magazine with product recommendations grew into FabFitFun, a membership that millions of women see as a quarterly act of self-care.In this episode with Lindsay Pinchuk, Katie shares how a 24-hour sellout of the very first test box set the stage for everything that followed: full-size products, full customization, members-only sales, and a thriving community where feedback shapes each season. Storytelling still drives it all, making every product feel personal rather than transactional.She also explains how FabFitFun became a launchpad for brands, using influencers and editorial reach to turn products, like OUAI's leave-in conditioner, into bestsellers. Flexibility is key—members can swap items or even entire boxes—building trust with every shipment.Katie doesn't shy away from the hard parts either, from a million-unit product recall to the operational lessons that came out of it.

We've all had them — the micromanagers, the credit stealers, the screamers, the ones who treat “reply all at midnight” like a leadership strategy. Bad bosses are everywhere, but here's the kicker: leadership is learned. Which means we can unlearn the toxic part and redefine how we lead. In this episode, we sit down with Mita Mallick — Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses, LinkedIn Top Voice, corporate changemaker, and fierce advocate for fixing broken workplaces. Together, we unpack why bad bosses are made (not born), how to spot when you're slipping into toxic habits yourself, and what it takes to build the kind of leadership people actually want to follow. We get into: The real reasons people become bad bosses (hint: stress, modeling, and unhealed personal stuff) Why micromanagement, fear, and time-hoarding are leadership red flags How inclusion, credit-sharing, and genuine presence boost retention more than hoodies and free apps ever will Practical ways to “manage up” when your boss is… less than inspiring How to stop being that boss and start modeling the kind of leader you'd want to work for Because nobody wants to be the horror story told at happy hour 10 years from now.

Why does it always seem like déjà vu when it comes to your love life? Ever catch yourself wondering, “Why does every guy I date end up cheating, no matter who he is?” Or maybe you're on the flip side thinking, “Why does every woman I date always seem to have anger issues?” It's almost like you're stuck in a dating loop, attracting the same person in a different body. But why does this keep happening? In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with therapist and relationship expert Jessica Baum, author of new book Safe, to explore why our love lives so often play out like déjà vu. Jessica takes us far beyond attachment labels like “anxious” or “avoidant.” She reveals how our parents' nervous systems wire our own from infancy, shaping the way we connect, attach, and seek safety. Those early wounds often live in our bodies as sensation, surfacing later when a partner pulls away, rolls their eyes, or simply doesn't show up the way we need. If you're ready to stop repeating old patterns, this episode is your first step. We explore: Why traditional attachment labels don't tell the whole story and what does. How to tell the difference between your "thinking" left brain and your "feeling" right brain. The surprising reason you keep attracting the same type of partner (and how to break the cycle). Why "triggers" are actually invitations for healing and how to reframe them. How memory is stored not just in your mind, but in your gut, heart, and muscles. What it truly means to heal in a relationship, and why you can't do it alone. The subtle signs your nervous system is scanning for to answer, "Are you with me?" A powerful, real-life example of rupture and repair between a parent and adult child. Practical steps to start creating safety within yourself and your relationships. Remember to check out Jessica's other books, including Anxiously Attached. And don't forget to preorder your copy of Safe, coming out on October 28. It's the manual your relationships have been missing. As a special gift for listeners, she's offering free bonuses, including a deep-dive healing blueprint and a rare interview with her mentor.

SummaryIn this conversation, Kreed explores the concepts of radical acceptance and radical responsibility, particularly in the context of estrangement and healing.

Amy is a seasoned communications leader passionate about using market insights to shape strategy and strengthen engagement worldwide.Five things you'll learn from this episode:1.

Practical ways communicators can advocate for audiences at the strategy table4. How messaging and strategy must stay in lockstep to maintain credibility and consistency across audiences5. How brand perception gaps create opportunities for stronger audience engagement Quotables“The human brain always absorbs things best in threes. And communications know if you've got 15 priorities, you have no priorities. When setting priorities, it has to be a clear way to say yes and to say no. If it doesn't give you the ability to say no, then it's not really helping you set a strategy.” — Amy Dunham“You can't have good communication or public relations strategy without messaging. They're in lockstep together.” — @JasonMudd9“To really stand out in PR, whatever you're doing, is to make sure you're saying things that are provocative, contrary, and have a unique point of view from what everybody else is saying because otherwise, you're just going to blend in and not stand out.” — @JasonMudd9“It's not a conversation about ‘I know better' versus ‘you know better.' It's much more about ‘Here's what the data indicates, and now here's the flexibility to be able to use it in the way that works best in your market.'” — Amy Dunham“It's really through the lens of ‘How can I add value in a way to enable their work?' rather than to direct how things should get done.” — Amy DunhamIf you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a colleague or friend.

In this episode, we explore the concept of chronotype, which reflects an individual's biological circadian timing and how it manifests in preferred sleep–wake patterns. Understanding chronotype is important because it differs from simple diurnal preference, which may be shaped by lifestyle or psychological factors rather than biology. We examine how chronotype is measured, from gold-standard laboratory methods to validated questionnaires used in field studies. The discussion also highlights the importance of accounting for sleep debt when estimating true biological timing. Finally, we consider the limitations of consumer devices and the practical implications of assessing chronotype in real-world settings.

#593 In this month's Q&A episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, we answer questions that span both technical and philosophical aspects of photography. The conversation centers around real-world challenges for beginners – such as gear selection, repair decisions, getting comfortable with taking photos of strangers, and figuring out what to do with all the photos taken. A key theme in the episode is demystifying the necessity (or lack thereof) of expensive equipment, highlighting practical approaches, and encouraging photographers to focus on skills and intent over gear.The learning objectives are to help new photographers make confident choices regarding camera bodies and lenses, to understand essential photography concepts like crop sensor vs. full frame, and to gain practical strategies for the creative and ethical dilemmas commonly faced in daily shooting. Core takeaways include: moment and storytelling trump equipment price; knowing your camera, settings, and practicing in diverse scenarios is more beneficial than chasing the latest technology; and sharing or preserving your work can be deeply personal and doesn't have to be showy.Key Topics Covered:Camera Repairs and Gear Upgrades: Raymond shares a story about repairing his beloved Fuji X Pro 2 instead of upgrading, emphasizing that quality gear is often worth repairing due to build and longevity. Takeaway: Invest wisely, but don't be afraid to repair rather than replace, and understand when repair makes more sense than a new purchase.The Myth of Expensive Lenses: The episode debunks the belief that only expensive lenses yield “real photos.” Through examples (e.g. the Canon “nifty fifty” 50mm f/1.8 lens), Raymond demonstrates that compelling images depend more on the moment and technique than gear price. Application tip: Beginners are encouraged to experiment with affordable lenses and to rent gear for specific needs rather than buying high-end lenses.Navigating Event/Street Photography & Sharing Work: Questions address how to confidently shoot portraits, events, wildlife, and street photography, including approaching strangers and capturing candid moments. Practical tips are given for ethical approaches and communicating with subjects. The final segment tackles what to do with a backlog of photos, suggesting print, books, or personal projects as meaningful options beyond social media posting.Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!
