Send us Fan MailI wanted to start today's episode with a warning. Today's episode went down some very dark roads and the subject matter is sensitive. We discussed the vicious murders of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy at the hands of their mother, Lindsay. January 24, 2023, at the family's home of Patrick and Lindsay Clancy on Summer Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts Lindsay Clancy brutally and savagely murdered her three children, Cora Clancy (5), Dawson Clancy (3), and Callan Clancy (8 months) by taking them into the basement and strangling them one by one with an exercise band.There's a lot of misinformation surrounding this case. It's time for conversations grounded in facts rather than feelings or bias. Helping me tackle it today is bestselling author, defense attorney, and expert on the pathology of the criminal mind, Kerrie Droban.Kerrie is an award-winning author and criminal defense attorney in Arizona. She holds a master's degree from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars and a Master of Fine Arts and Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona. She has keynoted gang task force conferences and national writing conferences, and has appeared on CNBC's American Greed, A&E's Gangland, the American Heroes Channel's Codes and Conspiracies, Investigation ID, and the Discovery Channel's Deadly Devotion.We recorded this conversation on September 14, 2026, after the trial ended in a mistrial. The killings aren't in dispute. The question at trial was whether Lindsay was criminally responsible, and prosecutors argued she acted deliberately. After hearing our conversation, decide for yourself.In today's episode we discuss:· The lack of outrage for the three innocent and defenseless children who were murdered by their mother.· The “Team Lindsay” movement throwing money and support at a mom who viciously and meticulously killed her three children. · Gender bias: would a father who did this be seen as sick, or as a monster?· Aurora, which Kerrie co-wrote with Dr. Lynne Fenton, and how public opinion of blaming health care providers has shifted.· Postpartum depression is real and common ([verified stat, source]). Postpartum psychosis is rare, and Lindsay's diagnosis came only after the killings, from a forensic psychiatrist. · Flaws in the mental health system: per the prosecution, about 30 prescriptions for 13 psychiatric medications in the four months before, taken sporadically.· Five clinicians and two hospitals saw her in that window, and none diagnosed psychosis or bipolar disorder· The evil that is in the world today and the monsters who can't be helped.· Prosecutors focused on the vagueness of the voice Clancy claimed to hear: she had to choose where — the basement; she had to choose how — strangulation.· Lindsay's preparation and premeditation before she killed her children.· Jurors who have raced to get their five minutes of fame. This quote from a juror sums it up. “He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children.” · “Team Clancy” is doing no favors for the feminist movement. This is setting a precedent. Do we have to test mothers who are coming off maternity leave with jobs that might harm others before we let them back into the workplace? Surgeons, cops, pilots, military- all jobs that were, and still are, male-dominated. Do you want a woman who is postpartum and potentially has postpartum psychosis with the launch codes to the nukes?All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Visit Kerrie Droban on her website!Please visit the Cops and Writers website.What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

Catie's Case: The Lindsay Clancy Trial Catie takes a deep dive into one of the most complicated and emotionally charged criminal trials in the country. Lindsay Clancy is charged in the January 2023 deaths of her three children—Cora, Dawson and Callan—at the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The facts of what happened are largely undisputed. The trial instead centers on Clancy's mental state and whether she was legally responsible for her actions. Her defense argues that Clancy was experiencing severe postpartum psychosis, had undergone extensive psychiatric treatment and medication changes, and had lost touch with reality when she killed the children. Defense expert Dr. Phillip Resnick testified that she was psychotic at the time. Prosecutors argue that although Clancy suffered from significant mental-health problems, she still understood right from wrong. They point to evidence they say demonstrates organization and planning, including sending her husband Patrick out of the house on errands before the killings. Patrick Clancy's testimony became one of the trial's most emotional moments. He described Lindsay as a loving mother before her mental-health decline and said she had never previously expressed a desire to harm the children. The trial ultimately became a battle between competing psychiatric interpretations: was this a deliberate murder committed by someone suffering from depression and other mental-health problems, or the catastrophic result of postpartum psychosis severe enough to eliminate criminal responsibility? After testimony from more than 80 witnesses over roughly five weeks, jurors began deliberating on August 27. And they still haven't reached a verdict. As of August 31, the jury has deliberated for approximately 17 hours across three days. Jurors have requested to review physical evidence including prescription bottles and the knife Clancy used during her suicide attempt. The available verdicts are not simply “guilty” or “not guilty.” Depending on how jurors interpret Clancy's intent and mental state, they may consider first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter or a finding that she was not criminally responsible because of mental illness. If the jury ultimately finds her not guilty by reason of insanity, that would not necessarily mean Clancy simply goes free. She could instead be committed to a psychiatric hospital, potentially for an extended period. The case has also forced a much broader conversation about postpartum psychosis, how seriously severe postpartum psychiatric symptoms are treated, and whether the medical system failed to recognize just how sick Clancy had become. Also in this episode: The U.S.–Iran war heats up again as Trump declares Iran “dead,” threatens additional strikes and shares AI-generated footage depicting an attack that apparently never occurred. The Supreme Court, USPS and the Trump administration collide over mail voting while election officials warn that thousands of otherwise valid ballots are arriving too late to be counted. Texas Republicans begin asking uncomfortable questions about changes to the state's $3 billion-plus broadband program that benefited Elon Musk's Starlink. Meta reportedly discovers a flaw in its plan to replace huge portions of its workforce with artificial intelligence: humans still have to fix everything the AI screws up. Plus another food-recall roundup, the Pentagon gets government versions of ChatGPT and Grok, Howard Stern heads to HBO Max, AMC becomes a movie distributor, and plenty more from another completely normal week in America.

Last week, I took you through the devastating events of January 24, 2023, the night Lindsay Clancy's three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, were fatally harmed inside their family home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. This week, we move from the home to the courtroom. In The Lindsay Clancy Trial: Psychosis, Premeditation, or Both?, I take a closer look at one of the most complicated questions surrounding this case: What was happening in Lindsay Clancy's mind when her children died? Lindsay's mental health before the deaths has become a critical part of understanding the case. Her treatment, medications, reported symptoms, and concerns surrounding postpartum mental illness raise difficult questions about postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, and about how severe psychiatric illness affects criminal responsibility. But there is another side to this case. The circumstances surrounding that night also raise questions about planning and awareness. Lindsay's husband, Patrick, left the home to run errands. During the relatively short period he was gone, the lives of all three children were changed forever. So how does the legal system distinguish between an intentional, premeditated act and an act committed by someone experiencing profound psychosis? Can a person appear organized or purposeful while simultaneously experiencing a severe break from reality? And where does mental illness end and legal responsibility begin? As a nurse and former forensic death investigator, I'm particularly interested in the intersection between the medical evidence and the investigative evidence. A case like this cannot be understood through one piece of information alone. We have to look at the timeline, behavior, medical and psychiatric history, physical evidence, statements, expert opinions, and what investigators were able to establish. We also have to remember why this trial is happening. Three young children lost their lives. Whatever conclusions are ultimately reached about Lindsay's mental state and criminal responsibility, Cora, Dawson, and Callan remain at the center of this case. In this episode, I explore the competing questions surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial and the challenge of evaluating a case in which mental illness and evidence of apparent planning may exist alongside one another. Was this postpartum psychosis? Was it premeditation? Or is the truth more complicated than either explanation alone? Join me for Part Two of the Lindsay Clancy case on Pushing Up Lilies: The Lindsay Clancy Trial: Psychosis, Premeditation, or Both?

Three parts. Three angles. One case that gets more disturbing the deeper you go.The People's Brief filed against David Anthony Burke this week describes an alleged cover-up built on staged text messages, fake-name Amazon orders, and three midnight trips to a remote highway. It describes years of alleged exploitation of a child who was eleven when they met. And it triggered a defense reversal — from demanding speed at arraignment to asking for a delay after seeing what prosecutors had compiled.Prosecutors allege Burke used the name "Victoria Mendez" to order chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool. They say blue fragments from that pool were embedded in Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains. They say he paid a classmate a thousand dollars to keep a child connected to him. They say three grand juries compelled testimony from Burke's inner circle.The defense tried to seal the filing. The judge denied it. The prosecution said they'd warned the defense about the volume of evidence. Only thirty percent had been uploaded.Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part breakdown.All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week in True Crime Today's Week in Review, the legal aftermath of the Kouri Richins conviction gets its most rigorous examination — alongside the prosecutorial framework of premeditated spousal murder that the case sits within.Tony Brueski, defense attorney Bob Motta, and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke work through the appellate record the defense constructed across three weeks of preserved rulings. The coaching video — investigators on tape directing Carmen Lauber to supply details ensuring a murder conviction — was presented to the jury, who returned guilty on all counts in three hours. Motta assesses what that outcome means for any appeal built around it. The hearsay ruling excluding testimony about Eric allegedly inquiring about obtaining fentanyl is examined — including the fact that the defense ultimately withdrew from pursuing it. The denied spoliation instruction over a missing pill bottle and the informant instruction issued for Lauber, the prosecution's sole direct link between Kouri and the fentanyl, each receive the legal weight they carry in a post-conviction proceeding. Motta is direct about which arguments have genuine appellate traction and which are preserved for the record but unlikely to move a reviewing court.The premeditation dimension of the prosecution's case is examined through Melanie McGuire — a case that provides the most documented parallel to the behavioral pattern prosecutors argued defined Kouri Richins' conduct. McGuire attended a real estate closing with her husband, signed mortgage documents alongside him, and allegedly killed and dismembered him hours later. She filed a restraining order against him two days later while allegedly still managing the disposal of his remains. Her digital search history — "undetectable poisons," "how to commit murder," "fatal insulin doses" — became the evidentiary foundation of her conviction. Prosecutors argued Kouri conducted fentanyl searches while Eric was alive, maintained a secret $250,000 HELOC, and conducted a second life that included texting a boyfriend about marriage.Premeditation in the legal record doesn't require a confession. It requires a pattern. Both cases built one.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sheriff Nanos believes he knows the motive. He says this person could strike again. He says they're definitely closer. And after forty-one days, forty thousand tips, and one of the largest FBI task forces deployed on a kidnapping in recent memory — there is still no arrest.Robin Dreeke — former Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins Hidden Killers Live alongside retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to examine the Nancy Guthrie case through a behavioral lens.Nanos' public statements are themselves strategic and behavioral signals. The decision to confirm a motive theory without disclosing it. The choice to warn the public they are not safe. The hedge on certainty at day forty-one. Dreeke breaks down what each of those choices communicates — about what investigators know, what they are trying to accomplish, and how those words are designed to move specific people.Then there is the silence. Forty thousand strangers called in tips. The people closest to the alleged perpetrator have not. Dreeke examines when that kind of silence transitions from fear to something investigators have to treat as a behavioral data point of its own — and what it implies about the social environment this person operates in.The behavioral architecture of premeditation is the central thread of this conversation. The alleged disruption of internet infrastructure before the abduction. The specific targeting of a single home. The timing and operational planning that a crime of this nature requires. Dreeke walks through what kind of behavioral pattern is consistent with this level of premeditation — and what it tells us about the profile investigators are working from.Coffindaffer provides the procedural layer: what this investigation looks like from the inside at day forty-one, and what typically precedes a break in a case built on this much accumulated forensic and digital work.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
He came to the property before. He saw the camera. He left. Then he came back with a plan.Law enforcement sources confirmed the doorbell camera images span multiple visits. At least one image—showing the suspect without his backpack—was captured on an earlier reconnaissance trip. The theory is he got spooked by the camera and returned with weeds to obscure it.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta explains why this matters: prior visits establish premeditation. They transform this from an opportunistic crime into deliberate targeting. If prosecutors ever identify a suspect, this evidence becomes central to proving intent. But there's tension—the Pima County Sheriff's Department is calling the multi-visit theory "purely speculative" while sources continue leaking to major outlets.Four hundred investigators. Forty thousand tips. Zero arrests. ABC News reports the case may scale back to a long-term task force. The family has been briefed that leads aren't panning out. The DNA at a Florida lab is hitting challenges with mixed samples. No names are being actively investigated.Meanwhile, the reward has exploded. Savannah Guthrie announced her family is offering one million dollars for information leading to Nancy's "recovery"—that word choice is significant. Combined with existing rewards, over 1.2 million dollars now sits on the table.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He examines what that reward number does to relationships around a guilty person. At 1.2 million, loyalty cracks. Someone in this perpetrator's life has noticed the stress, the behavioral changes, the fear. Cases like this get solved when that person decides the money—or their conscience—matters more than silence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The prosecution's case against Kouri Richins isn't just about fentanyl. It's about a timeline that points to planning.Months before Eric's death: Kouri books an all-inclusive Caribbean vacation for herself and her boyfriend—checking in the month after her husband would be dead.Weeks before: She texts that boyfriend, "If he could just go away and you could just be here, life would be so perfect." She allegedly forges Eric's signature on a $100,000 life insurance policy.Valentine's Day, two weeks before his death: Eric calls a friend and says "I think my wife is trying to poison me" after eating a sandwich she left him.The night he dies: She texts the boyfriend "Love you," then makes her husband a Moscow mule.After his death: Her internet searches include "can cops uncover deleted messages iPhone" and "how long do life insurance companies take to pay."Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth told the jury Eric had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system—"intentional, not accidental." Kouri owed $4.5 million and Eric's estate was worth $4 million.Defense attorney Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor, analyzes how the state is weaving financial desperation, digital evidence, and prior bad acts into a narrative of premeditated murder.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee is sitting in a Franklin County jail cell facing four counts of aggravated murder. The evidence police have described is damning—ballistic matches, vehicle surveillance, the figure in the alley footage, and a firearm suppressor. Prosecutors allege the vascular surgeon drove 300 miles from Chicago to Columbus to execute his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe while their children slept nearby. Eleven days later, investigators say they recovered the murder weapon from McKee's property. But how do you prove premeditation when there are no eyewitnesses and an eight-year gap since the divorce? And what defense strategies are even available when the forensic evidence appears this overwhelming? Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us live to break down exactly what the state needs to establish—and where cases like this can fall apart. Faddis spent years in the Special Victims Unit handling first-degree murder cases and has tried 45+ jury trials. He knows how prosecutors weaponize contradictory alibis, how they establish motive across a decade-long timeline, and why charges were upgraded from murder to aggravated murder. We'll also examine McKee through the Dark Triad framework—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—to analyze how these personality patterns typically manifest in criminal defense situations. A man who allegedly evaded a malpractice lawsuit nine times and fled his marriage after seven months may be incapable of accepting accountability even when his freedom depends on it. The same arrogance that allegedly drove him to murder may be the thing that convicts him.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #EricFaddis #TepeMurders #AggravatedMurder #DarkTriad #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimeLive #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going live with defense attorney Bob Motta to examine the actual murder case against Aaron Spencer. Forget the judicial removal for a moment. Spencer still faces second-degree murder for killing Michael Fosler—the man out on bond for allegedly raping Spencer's teenage daughter. The question is whether he can prove he acted in lawful defense of his child.Spencer says Fosler lunged at him with something in his hand after Spencer rammed his truck off the road at 1 a.m. His daughter was inside that vehicle—missing from her bedroom, now with the man who allegedly assaulted her. The prosecution has Rule 404(b) evidence: statements Spencer allegedly made three months earlier about killing Fosler if he came near his daughter again. That's the premeditation they're pushing.Bob Motta walks us through what second-degree murder requires under Arkansas law, how strong the charge is given the circumstances, and what the defense needs to establish for self-defense or defense-of-others to succeed. We'll discuss how to counter prior statements, use Fosler's 43-count criminal history effectively, and address the prosecution's claim that Spencer should have just called police. We're taking your questions and comments live as we break down one of the most consequential defense-of-others cases in recent memory.#AaronSpencerLive #MurderDefense #BobMotta #SelfDefense #DefenseOfOthers #Rule404b #MichaelFosler #LononkeCounty #TrueCrimeLive #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send us a textWhat if the secret to gratitude isn't positive thinking—but imagining loss?In this 12-minute guided meditation, I'll walk you through an ancient Stoic practice called praemeditatio malorum—the premeditation of adversity. Used by Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, this technique trains you to appreciate what you have before it's gone.We'll imagine a vivid scenario: a sudden accident that changes everything. Not to be morbid, but to wake you up to the fragility and preciousness of your life right now—your health, your freedom, your relationships, the simple ability to walk across a room.This practice will help you:Cultivate deep, felt gratitude (not just intellectual appreciation)Prepare mentally for life's inevitable challengesReduce anxiety by rehearsing resilienceBreak free from hedonic adaptation and wanting moreAs Epictetus said: "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."Find a quiet space. Close your eyes. And let's practice together.
When Lisa Guy failed to show up for work after Thanksgiving weekend, a wellness check led to a discovery straight out of a horror movie; the bodies of Lisa and Joel Guy were dismembered and scattered across the house. A handwritten journal, dubbed by prosecutors as the “Book of Premeditation,” led police to arrest someone incredibly close to the victims: their own son, Joel Guy Jr. Watch 24/7 Court TV LIVE Stream Today https://www.courttv.com/Join the Investigation Newsletter https://www.courttv.com/email/Court TV Podcast https://www.courttv.com/podcast/Join the Court TV Community to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo5E9pEhK_9kWG7-5HHcyRg/joinFOLLOW THE CASE:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/courttvTwitter/X https://twitter.com/CourtTVInstagram https://www.instagram.com/courttvnetwork/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@courttvliveYouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/COURTTVWATCH +140 FREE TRIALS IN THE COURT TV ARCHIVEhttps://www.courttv.com/trials/HOW TO FIND COURT TVhttps://www.courttv.com/where-to-watch/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

James Craig Case: Poison, Premeditation & Prosecutorial Precision What happens when a trusted husband, a father of six, and a respected Colorado dentist is suddenly accused of killing his wife—with cyanide, eyedrops, and protein shakes? In Part 1 of this gripping two-part breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us from inside the courthouse to dissect the case the jury is still trying to wrap their heads around. The prosecution has laid out a chilling timeline: online orders for arsenic and cyanide, Google searches like “how to make murder look like a heart attack,” and hospital visits where Angela Craig mysteriously crashed—right after being alone with James. With no eyewitnesses, no surveillance video of a fatal act, and no dramatic confession, this is a case built entirely on digital footprints, emotional devastation, and one cold, calculated timeline. But is that enough? Eric Faddis walks us through the strategy unfolding in real-time—how prosecutors are methodically connecting Amazon carts, IV access ports, and digital forensics to paint a portrait of intent. He also breaks down how the defense is trying to poke holes in the chain of evidence and float the idea that Angela may have died by suicide. But with Angela's daughters testifying that their mother was optimistic and making future plans, the suicide theory may be dead on arrival. This episode sets the stage: Was this a clinical poisoning plotted by a man who wanted out of his marriage—or a tragic medical mystery that looks too neat to be true?

Send us a textIn this episode of our series on crafting a Stoic daily routine, we focus on how to build effective work rituals. These rituals are designed to help you find deeper meaning and purpose in whatever form of work you do—whether it's a formal job, creative endeavor, or a personal project like martial arts. Here are the key highlights from the episode:Episode Notes:1. Broadening the Definition of WorkWork doesn't have to be limited to a traditional career. We explore how to recognize anything you spend time on and take seriously as your “work”—whether it's drawing, studying martial arts, or any passion project.2. Pre-Work Ritual: Six Key PointsInspired by John Yates' "The Mind Illuminated," we dive into a six-step preparation ritual that helps set the stage for a successful work session.Key elements include defining your motivation, setting specific goals, acknowledging expectations, committing to diligence, addressing potential distractions, and preparing your work environment.3. Finding Enjoyment in Your WorkWe discuss the importance of enjoying the process rather than seeing work as a box to tick off your list. Finding ways to enjoy your work not only makes it more sustainable but also enriches the entire experience.4. The Power of a Performance StatementDevelop a performance statement as an affirmation to keep you on track. For example: “Every time I get distracted, I will make a note of the distraction and return to the task.” This simple tool helps reinforce positive behavior and mindfulness during work.5. Work as MeditationApplying a meditative mindset to work helps you stay present and focused. Just like mindfulness meditation, when you lose focus, gently redirecting yourself back to the task at hand can transform your productivity and mindset.6. Post-Work ReflectionReflecting on what went well after each work session is crucial. Focus on three positive outcomes to reinforce growth and keep yourself motivated.7. Working with Others: The EAR AcronymGood communication during collaboration can be broken down into Empathy, Assertiveness, and Respect (EAR). This simple framework helps improve how you navigate work relationships and difficult dynamics.8. Premeditation of AdversityInspired by Marcus Aurelius, we explore the Stoic practice of **premeditating potential obstacles** to remain calm and composed during challenging moments at work. It's not about being negative but about being preparedResources Mentioned:John Yates' "The Mind Illuminated"** – The inspiration behind the six-point pre-work ritual.Three Pillars of Skillful Communication Cheat Sheet – Get immediate access to premium Stoic meditation courses, exclusive community, straight-to-the-point lessons, and Q&As created by Jon Brooks.

We seem to have, in the last few months, had a lot of religious guests, and through that we've had a lot of conversations about how religiosity can be in direct conflict with queerness, and all the issues that that can create. But what we haven't really talked about are the similarities between religion and queerness. And, to be fair, there probably aren't that many, but what stuck out for me in this week's conversation is that they both offer community and the promise of belonging. And that might not have specifically been what this week's guest, Dr Luke Wilson, was seeking in either, but that's what stood out for me in this conversation. Luke was an Evangelical Christian in his teens and 20s, and though that provided certainty in some aspects of his life, it also threw up a whole host of questions and points of conflict for him. And, it was at an unknown gay bar in Albuquerque, New Mexico (where he happened to be visiting for a conference) that he got a proper peek at what it might mean if he left religion behind and embraced his queerness. Find out more in this week's episode. Follow me Instagram: www.instagram.com/lostspacespod Facebook: www.facebook.com/lostspacespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostspacespod Support me Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lostspacespod Takeaways Evangelicalism can have a profound impact on personal identity and sexuality, often leading to feelings of anger and frustration. Motivations for embracing evangelicalism can include the desire for community and the need to appease family members. Evangelical beliefs can be intellectually inconsistent and resistant to questioning. Transitioning away from a religious community can involve untangling one's life and finding new sources of support and community. Entering a gay bar for the first time can be an exhilarating and transformative experience, especially for individuals who have repressed their sexuality due to religious or societal pressures. Premeditation and repression often accompany the exploration of one's queerness, as individuals navigate the tension between their desires and their religious or moral beliefs. The queer community can provide a sense of belonging and authenticity that may be lacking in other areas of life, allowing individuals to embrace their true selves. Early encounters and experiences with same-sex attraction can be confusing and awkward, often leaving individuals with feelings of guilt and shame. Living authentically and allowing lived experiences to shape one's beliefs can lead to a more fulfilling and genuine life, even if it means challenging previously held religious or moral frameworks. The process of self-acceptance and embracing one's queer identity can be a profound and transformative experience. Finding a supportive community of like-minded individuals can be instrumental in navigating the challenges of coming out and living authentically. Religious upbringings can create internal conflicts and feelings of shame and guilt for queer individuals. Conversion therapy is a harmful and ineffective practice that can lead to further self-hatred and emotional distress. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/k-anderson/message

When Lisa Guy failed to show up for work after Thanksgiving weekend, a wellness check led to a discovery straight out of a horror movie; the bodies of Lisa and Joel Guy dismembered and scattered across the house. A handwritten journal, dubbed by prosecutors as the “Book of Premeditation,” led police to arrest someone incredibly close to the victims: their own son, Joel Guy Jr. This week's Court TV Podcast dives deeper into this case with an audio edition of the original series Someone They Knew with Tamron Hall. This episode is titled “Holiday Horror.” To stream more Court TV originals, click here.

Jamie Ryder is the founder of Stoic Athenaeum. He's on a mission to make philosophy sexy and down to earth. He's focused on breaking stigmas about mental health and leadership. He says that everyone has a philosophy they live by every day and the more they understand their philosophy, the more they will know how to communicate with others. Listen in for wisdom on stepping back for a wider view to move forward. https://bit.ly/TLP-344 Key Takeaways [1:57] When Jamie was young, he wanted to be either a wrestler or a writer; two different types of storytelling. He always liked the larger-than-life characters of wrestling. When he was 16, he trained as a wrestler in Manchester. But while wrestling was fascinating, he had more aspirations to write stories. [4:32] Jamie believes philosophy needs to be lived. He has never been trained in philosophy academically. He describes the attraction Stoic philosophy holds for him, including the mental health aspect of it. Everybody has a philosophy or values they show up in the world with, that makes them who they are. It's something that you live and breathe. [5:54] Jamie believes there are therapeutic mental health benefits to philosophy. [6:44] Philosophy permits you to be vulnerable with yourself. There is always an amount of uncertainty you will have to deal with. Stoicism helps Jamie identify the things he can or can't control and navigate uncertain situations, such as the pandemic. [7:17] Jamie recommends two practical exercises: “The Premeditation of Adversity,” attributed to Seneca, and “The View from Above,” by Marcus Aurelius. The Premeditation of Adversity builds resilience. Imagine the worst-case scenario and prepare for it. It helps Jamie calm down any anxiety he has about upcoming events. The View from Above is to take a high-level perspective of a situation. [10:01] Give yourself permission to carve out time to practice The Premeditation of Adversity before events and The View from Above after events. [12:00] By studying philosophy, Jamie learned that values are intrinsic in us and we have the power to make experiences make sense to us. By looking at different philosophers and schools of thought, Jamie instilled their activities and lessons into his life. Philosophy is a lot of small acts you do again and again. It becomes accessible and habit-forming as you repeat the exercises. [13:43] Jamie would recommend that you start exploring philosophy with Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius. You don't need to know philosophy or Stoicism to understand Meditations. Marcus Aurelius was journaling for himself, 2,000 years ago. You can see he was trying to be an honorable person. If he had a bad day, he tried something different. On the second reading, it took on new meaning for Jamie. [15:09] Jamie also recommends Letters from a Stoic, by Seneca. Seneca was writing to his friend, distilling lessons he'd learned over a lifetime. You can pick one letter to read a day, and you will find something that resonates with you today from 2,000 years ago. [15:36] Stoicism was Jamie's gateway into philosophy. He has also studied Skepticism, Existentialism, and Epicureanism. Another book recommendation Jamie gives is The Essays, by Michel de Montaigne. What de Montaigne wrote about a few hundred years ago are the same issues people face day in and day out. [18:09] Jamie explains the symbiotic relationship between creativity and curiosity. [20:10] Stoic philosophy involves stepping back and slowing down, which is different from typical business goals. At its crux, it's about trying to focus on what you can control and what you can't control. It means taking a break from things. [21:45] Jamie shares tips for creative writing for business: have a tone-of-voice guide beforehand and then you can push the message across social media, emails, and wherever you need to be to communicate that message. Create it in a voice that makes sense to you and has a connection to the audience you are trying to build community with. [23:30] Michel de Montaigne created the genre of philosophical writings known as essays. He created boundaries around himself where he could be alone, take a moment to breathe, and be himself. [26:36] Writing tips: Start with writing a stream of consciousness. This goes back to de Montaigne. Create an environment where you feel comfortable, such as going for a walk or an activity that you are happy to do. Take a step back, then go back to it. Read as much as possible and pick out ideas you might not have thought about before. Distill it down into what you are trying to create on the page. [28:05] To learn storytelling, start with authenticity. “This is my story. I've been through this and it makes sense to me. It communicates to the audience, as well.” It needs to have substance and reflect your values and principles. If there is a cause you support, you need to have the substance behind it, as well. Use ethical rhetoric to support a cause that has substance. [29:13] Cicero used rhetoric to great effect. Aristotle introduced the three proofs: Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. [30:28] Leaders need to be concerned about their people; they need to learn to lead themselves so they can lead others. Logos is for persuasion. Ethos is your character. Pathos is connecting with people and empowering them to share their emotions or connect with their customers. Others have different views. [32:18] Jamie's storytelling advice to leaders: Ask questions and learn from the stories of people around you but “You need your personal values that work into that to create your unique and authentic story, as well. … I would just always remember that it's always a learning experience.” [34:49] Closing quote: Remember, “A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.” — Michel de Montaigne Quotable Quotes “When I was young, I either chose to be a wrestler or a writer; [they're] different types of storytelling. … I chose to be a writer but I will always appreciate what [wrestling] taught me.” “There is a tendency to say that philosophy can seem quite high-minded or academic, … where it's not, because it is something that you live and breathe.” “Prior to the pandemic, I felt quite burnt out about a few things, but then, while discovering the subject of philosophy, it clicked, in the sense that it's something that you can control within the Stoic aspect. … From a mental health aspect, it made a lot of sense for me.” “I would always recommend Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, because that, to me, is a book that you don't even need to know what philosophy is, or Stoicism is, to really get to it. In context, Marcus was literally just writing to himself 2,000 years ago.” “It's about balance, as well. … Sometimes you do need to take that step back and just reassess.” “[To write effectively,] create an environment for yourself where you feel comfortable. … Read as much as possible, … picking ideas from things that are outside your comfort zone, … and then just distilling it down.” “It starts with authenticity. … Creating that sense that ‘This is my story,' or “I've been through this.'” Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.
