Traditional therapy works for some, but it's not always the best path for everyone. This explores how the unconscious mind holds on to past experiences often without us realizing and how that can shape our thoughts and emotions. It also looks at why revisiting the same trauma over and over may not always lead to healing, and how other approaches can help create real, lasting change.It offers a different way of looking at emotional wellness, one that focuses on finding purpose, letting go of old patterns, and understanding how the mind truly works. If you're feeling stuck or looking for new ways to move forward, this perspective might be worth exploring.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 - Challenging Freud's Legacy01:42 - Revisiting Alternative Thinkers04:53 - Unconscious Mind vs. Conscious Logic06:38 - Rewriting Mental Patterns Through NLP08:23 - Importance of Purpose and Identity10:04 - The Role of Anger11:24 - Breaking Down Programming13:01 - When Standard Therapy Isn't Enough15:41 - Preparing for Plant Medicine

Today's guest shares her story of postpartum psychosis, including the contributing factors, navigating the healthcare system, the overall lack of understanding of PMADs, and the preventative actions she took for her second pregnancy. She shares how her experience propelled her to take considerable steps to help and support others. Nancy Di Nuzzo, a mother of two, is an accountant-turned-postpartum doula. She is the founder of Anamav Postnatal Care, an agency providing comprehensive postpartum care in the Greater Toronto area. Their services include doula support, lactation support, psychotherapy, and sleep coaching. Nancy was inspired to create Anamav after her own traumatic postpartum experiences. As a perinatal mental health advocate, she is fiercely determined to support new parents and families to help fill the gaps in our healthcare system.  Show Highlights: Nancy's first pregnancy experience with her daughter, born in 2020: In summary, sleep deprivation led to the first postpartum psychotic episode and subsequent hospitalization. The labor and delivery and the first five days postpartum, when everything changed for Nancy Feeling the intensity of hyperdrive and an overwhelming need for perfection Hallucinations (not threatening or violent) and a break from reality that prompted a call to 911 A shocking twist: The ER records showed suspected postpartum psychosis, but they still discharged Nancy and prescribed sleeping pills; she ended up back there three days later. Cultural stigma and family interference that did not help Nancy Nancy's misdiagnosis from the psychiatrist: A bipolar disorder that required lifelong medication The first night in the hospital and the traumatic events that still haunt Nancy's memories Reconnecting with her daughter after a week-long stay in the hospital Preparing for a second pregnancy with preventative measures–and finding a very different birth and postpartum experience in 2023 Nancy's perspective on what SHOULD have happened during her first pregnancy and how we can do better in the area of awareness The facts: Every postpartum journey is different; problems can happen with a first, second, or third pregnancy—or with none at all.  Anamav Postnatal and how they work to help others Resources: Connect with Nancy Di Nuzzo and Anamav Postnatal: Website and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone or text at 1-800-944-4773.

In this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton features his recent appearance on the Liberty and Finance podcast. Mark pulls back the curtain on the geopolitical theater, exposing how monetary control, regime change, and imperial ambition are driving global conflict. From gold's rising value as a gauge of fear to the erosion of public trust in fiat money and the US government, he argues the real war is economic—and it's already begun.Alongside these dangers, Mark offers hope: an informed public, sound money alternatives, and the growing momentum for a monetary reset built on gold and liberty.Additional Resources"Gold/Silver Ratio Signaling Rapid Reversal and Recession Coming" by Mark Thornton (on the Liberty and Finance podcast): https://mises.org/MI_126_A"The Gold-Silver Ratio" (Minor Issues, Episode 119): https://mises.org/MI_119"Preparing for War" (Minor Issues, Episode 123): https://mises.org/MI_123Register for the 2025 Mises Institute Supporters Summit in Delray Beach, Florida, October 16–18: https://mises.org/ss25

Hey Family Brand — it's Melissa here. Today's episode is a little different, and honestly, it's one I tried to record six different times. It took me a while to even figure out what I wanted to say because this one hits close to home. Last week, my cousin and his wife passed away unexpectedly in a tragic plane crash, leaving behind two little ones. Even as I write that, my heart feels so heavy. It's every parent's worst nightmare to even imagine not being there for your kids as they grow up. It's something we never want to face — and I never thought we'd have to. But this experience really made me look at some practical things that all of us, as parents, need to have in place. Specifically: a will, and life insurance. Years ago, when we had our last baby, one of Chris's clients — who happened to be an attorney — kind of nudged us to ask, “Hey, if something ever happened to you guys, who would raise your kids? Do you have a plan for that?” We didn't, so we sat with it and decided it was too important to put off. So, I'm sharing some of that thought process today. Who did we pick? What kinds of questions did we ask ourselves? And, honestly — I'd encourage you to do the same. It's one of the most caring, responsible things we can do for our kids. And the other thing I want to talk about is life insurance. That was something that really shifted for me as we were having babies. Back then, Chris had just gotten a policy, and I thought, “That's great. That's one box checked.” But then our agent asked if we'd thought about me too. Even though I wasn't working much at the time, he explained that if something happened to me, someone would need to help with the kids, house, all of it. Plus, we'd need the space to grieve without worrying about finances. That really stayed with me — because it's not just about income, it's about protecting your family's time together too. So if you don't have a will or you haven't updated yours in a while, or if you don't have life insurance, I just want to gently encourage you to make some time to do that. It's not fun to talk about. Trust me, I get it. But it really is an important part of being an intentional family. And I'll leave you with one last story that kind of caught me off guard… The other day after one of Ivy's softball games, we were driving home and I saw this random basketball on the side of the road. I told Tanner to pull over so I could go grab it — I'm forever rescuing random stuff on the roadside lol — and when I picked it up, I flipped it over and saw the name “Smith” written on it in kid handwriting. It was our basketball that we hadn't seen in probably a year and a half. How it ended up two towns over, on the side of the road where I happened to drive past it? I have no idea. And I just felt this really sweet, gentle reminder that God sees us. That even when life feels heavy or uncertain, we're not alone. So that's my encouragement for you this week — you're seen, you're loved, and you're not forgotten.  P.S. Hug your babies a little tighter tonight.

In this episode, Trace Blackmore welcomes back Tom Hutchison, Chairman of the Board, HOH Water Technology, to reflect on what it really takes to step out of day-to-day leadership—and do it well. As a multi-decade leader in water treatment, Tom shares the personal, professional, and organizational insights that shaped his transition from CEO to chairman and what it means to lead a business into its next generation.  From early succession conversations to the unspoken anxieties of staff, Hutch offers a rare look behind the curtain of legacy-building in industrial water treatment. And as private equity plays a growing role in the industry, Tom unpacks the very real choices facing owners and teams alike—with clarity and compassion. Navigating Leadership Through Change  Tom begins by describing the decision to shift from day-to-day leadership to a board-level role. He reflects on the emotional weight of that process and the internal work required to detach his identity from his title. Rather than clinging to authority, he outlines the importance of trust and letting emerging leaders find their voice—even when it means they'll make different decisions.  He also highlights the human cost of poor planning. “Death,” as Tom puts it bluntly, “is not a strategy.” Waiting too long or failing to mentor successors doesn't just disrupt the business—it risks unraveling everything you've built. Succession Planning and Cultural Continuity  Trace and Tom dive into the mechanics of succession planning—not just from an ownership perspective, but a cultural one. Tom explains how HOH built an internal environment where values weren't just posted on the wall but deeply lived. This foundation allowed the company to navigate major transitions, including its eventual move into private equity, without losing its identity.  He also warns about the consequences of delayed planning. Waiting too long, he says, puts the business, its people, and its principles at risk.    Preparing for Private Equity—Without Losing Yourself  One of the most practical parts of the conversation centers on HOH's private equity journey. Tom shares how they vetted buyers not just for financial capacity, but for cultural alignment. He outlines how his team clarified their mission and values before the deal, which ultimately helped preserve their vision after the transition.  Rather than resist change, HOH treated the shift as an opportunity to reinforce their core—while expanding their reach.   The Long Arc of Legacy  Tom closes with a powerful meditation on leadership legacy. He explains that real legacy isn't about being remembered—it's about ensuring the business can thrive without you. He challenges listeners to think beyond titles, financial outcomes, or even strategy, and focus on the enduring impact of culture, mentorship, and examples.  Trace echoes this with a reminder that great leaders not only lead—they leave well. If you're leading a team, planning your exit, or preparing the next generation of leadership, this episode is a must-listen.  To take this conversation further, download the Discussion Guide located in the Connect with the Guest section of the show notes.

Last night, Pastor Chad kicked off our new series “Soft Launch,” focused on dating in 2025. He reminded us that preparing for relationships starts long before we meet someone. We need to be intentional about getting ourselves ready to date and eventually start a family. Here's how: 1. Grow biblically 2. Live sacrificially 3. Assume responsibility We also need clarity on what we're looking for—alignment in faith, family values, and a shared vision for the future. The Bible gives us a framework for recognizing a godly spouse, especially through passages like John 29 and Proverbs 31. We were encouraged not to rush into dating. Take time to really get to know someone—talk to their friends, observe their character, and seek God's wisdom. And most importantly, stay open to what the Lord may bring. Be willing to make or take the offer when the time is right. This is about launching with purpose, not pressure. Missed last night's message? Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts!

Vanessa was born and raised in Brazil, a country with sky-high cesarean rates. Moving to the US inspired her to pursue her doula career, even before she became pregnant herself. Vanessa's own birth experiences were very different. Her first birth was a Cesarean after a birth center transfer. While it was medically necessary, it was very unexpected and traumatic. After a lot of processing and birth trauma therapy, she was ready to give birth again. Vanessa pursued a home birth for her second birth that was wonderfully straightforward and beautiful, surrounded by the people she loved most!She now lives just outside of Boston with her husband, two daughters and her mother. Her passion is to support other immigrant women in her community navigate the US healthcare system, and to know they have options when it comes to childbirth, especially when it comes to VBAC. Vanessa's WebsiteVanessa's InstagramVanessa's FacebookNeeded Website: Code VBAC20 for 20% OffCoterie Diapers - Use code VBAC20 for 20% OffHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vbac-link/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
