In this PT-2 follow up episode to a September 29, 2025, we will objectively explore the details of the Snake Eyes movie and its relationship to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Despite there being seemingly incredible parallels, many of the important correlations have been ignored in favor of assumed connections like the 9/10 date of the assassination, which was actually 9/19 in the movie, or the 911 in an Erika Kirk music video that was cropped to ignore other numbers. The film features a Charles Kirkland being shot in the neck, taken to the hospital, and later dying during a public event. A strange character is pumping his fist and chanting in front of the camera, a character named Tyler is involved in the conspiracy, and the iconic motifs of the ‘woman in red' and ‘woman in white' are present. There is also the all-seeing eye and lucky number 7. But beyond the real life parallels and other occult imagery, the movie involves a hurricane named Jezebel, which strangely connects to the real Charlie Kirk. Why? Because the leftwing, feminist, anti-child cult website Jezebel published an article two days before Kirk's death about Etsy witches being hired to cast spells against the conservative commentator as an ‘ethical' stance against his opinions.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

When does spiritual teaching cross into control? Danielle S. and Danielle B. explore “weaponizing spirituality”—the moment channelled messages or confident truth claims become decrees that override your agency. They unpack pandemic-era examples, business-space tactics (such as blind offers, urgency, and the “you're not ready” approach), and gatekeeping in training. You'll hear how humility, transparency, and psychological safety create healthier containers for learning, plus quick cues to spot red flags and practices to restore balance—like shared authority, longer decision windows, and clear expectations. If absolutist language, guru-centering, or pressure to buy now make your nervous system spike, this episode offers a grounded reset and questions to bring your power back online.   Highlights: Defining weaponized spirituality and its impact on personal agency. Business tactics: blind offers, urgency marketing, and inflated payment plans. Gatekeeping in training with labels like “untrained” or “unqualified.” Mediumship as an interpretive art with room for error and growth. Humility as the antidote to absolutism in spiritual teaching. Psychological safety built through clarity, transparency, and time. Restoring balance with shared authority, alumni access, and peer learning. Red flags: absolutist language, guru-centering, urgency, and pressure. Self-check prompts to notice when you may be giving away power.

The best leaders are the ones that can hold space for both—care personally and challenge directly. Work never happens in a vacuum. Field calls, customer pressure, travel, and deadlines compound the very real mental load carried by water professionals. In this conversation, Dr. Andy Melton, a professional counselor and executive coach at  www.andymelton.com—shares clear, practical ways leaders and teams can recognize mental health warning signs, set the right boundaries, and respond with care without stepping outside their role.  Care Personally, Challenge Directly—Inside Clear Boundaries Managers aren't neutral parties, and that matters. Andy explains the built-in conflict of interest when a supervisor probes too deeply into an employee's personal struggles. You still need to check in—but do it in role: use open-ended, performance-anchored questions (“What's been challenging for you lately?”), document observations, and offer resources instead of diagnoses. He also highlights Kim Scott's “Radical Candor” frame—care personally and challenge directly—as a durable leadership posture for tough conversations.   Spotting Decline Early—Behavioral, Cognitive, Physical  Before missed KPIs and callbacks spike, there are tells: sudden drops in productivity, withdrawal, irritability, rising absence/tardiness, markedly negative self-talk, and physical complaints (fatigue, headaches, stomach issues). Andy shares a simple “dashboard” self-check—sleep and eating patterns—plus trackable 1–10 scales for stress, energy, engagement, and mood stability to catch trends early.  When It's Serious—Safe Paths and Resources  Anonymous surveys can surface urgent risks—including suicidality. Andy outlines responsible next steps: widen communication, invite follow-ups, and immediately involve a mental health professional or crisis resources. Know the number 988 and your local mobile crisis team information; publish those options prominently so help is never far away.  Grounding Under Load—3 Techniques You Can Use Anywhere  For anxiety (mind racing ahead) and depression (mind stuck in the past), uniting mind and body in the present increases bandwidth. Andy teaches three job-friendly tools: the four-second “box” breath, a five-senses “sensory scan,” and a head-to-toe “progressive muscle relaxation.” Each can be done discreetly at a desk, in a service truck, or before a customer meeting.  Strong operations require strong people. Build a culture that normalizes check-ins, provides resources, and keeps performance expectations clear. That's how teams protect each other and maintain reliability in the field.  Listen to the full conversation above.

Dicken Bettinger, Ed.D., received his undergraduate degree from St. Lawrence University and began his career teaching high school students.  Many students came to Dicken with problems that they were experiencing.  This began his search for something to teach people that would increase their well-being.  He received his master's degree from Pennsylvania State University and his Doctoral degree in counseling psychology from Boston University.  He became licensed as a clinical psychologist in 1983 and retired from his psychotherapy practice after working as a psychologist for 31 years. Thirty-three years ago, he met Sydney Banks who had an enlightenment experience where he realized the Three Principles that underlie all human experience. Dicken had finally found universal principles that he could teach anyone.  He was grateful to find something that was simple in nature yet had the profound effect of raising the quality of a person's life.  He feels fortunate that for 23 years he was able to learn directly from Sydney Banks.  In 2008 Dicken received a Certificate of Competency from Mr. Banks authorizing him to teach the Three Principles.Dicken co-founded and was the director of a center in Vermont that was the first center in the Northeast to teach the Three Principles.  He served as one of the original nation-wide Core Three Principles Faculty and is currently a faculty member for the Three Principles Global Community.  In 1996 Dicken joined Pransky and Associates, a Three Principle-based institute in La Conner, Washington.  Dicken was instrumental in developing and teaching leadership and staff development programs for universities, hospitals, publishing companies, defense contractors, health departments, banks, and non-profit organizations. He taught company employees what it takes to be resilient and agile in the face of today's business challenges and rapidly changing environments.  He mentored CEOs and their leadership teams in raising the bar on their productivity, teamwork, and business success.  He now specializes in developing 3 Principle practitioners, as well as leading group seminars on the Principles and their relationship to spiritual/psychological well-being.In January of 2012 Dicken founded Three Principles Mentoring to deepen peoples' understanding of the 3 principles, develop 3P practitioners globally, and offer seminars in countries throughout the world. Dicken wrote a book with Natasha Swerdloff, Coming Home: Uncovering the Foundations of Psychological Well-being​ which is now available in 10 languages.Dicken also deeply values his work as a director on the board of the Three Principles Glogal Community. This organization was formed to spread the teachings of Sydney Banks around the world.  Dicken enjoys public service work and has worked with refugees from South and Central America. He was an integral part of the Tibetan Resettlement Project in Vermont. Dicken has been happily married for 55 years and loves teaching 3P Practitioners and running seminars worldwide on spiritual/psychological well-being. He has two adult children, Nina and Ben, and adores spending time with his four grandchildren.  He enjoys photography, hiking, canoeing,  traveling, and his dog, Oliver.

Making sense of your eating disorder through psychological formulation If you're lost in the jungle of your eating disorder, without a map to guide you safely, you probably feel intense confusion and overwhelm. Why can't I just eat normally? Why the constant obsessions with food? What is wrong with me? You likely feel terribly alone. To begin to unravel the tangled ed vines that have wrapped themselves tortuously around you, and to shed some awareness and understanding of the complexity of the issue, therapists sometimes use the tool of psychological formulation. Psychological formulation aims to piece together the different parts of the jigsaw, to bring light and clarity. It provides a zoom-out perspective of the eating disorder, as a coping strategy. It peels back the different layers of the psychological onion offering insights and hope around change. In this episode, I explore a psychological formulation and how you can use this as a tool in therapy. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.

Are you stuck in the loop of sabotaging good opportunities or continually finding some version of the same-old-same-old disappointing situation? Are you an expert at envisioning the worst case scenario but find it hard to envision - and become - what you really, truly want? Our early conditioning can set us up for living on automatic pilot and keep us stuck in old habits, relationship patterns and more that leave us frustrated and feeling bad about ourselves. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein sheds light on the most common everyday “trances” that set us up for feeling bad. She also shares 2 powerful tools (with examples) that can help us rescript our lives for the better, and help us feel, do and live better overall - in mind, body and spirit.You'll also learn how to create your own guided imagery and affirmations, and leave with affirmations (beginning at 43:39) that you can use today.For more on Traci Stein, visit: www.DrTraciStein.com.For Traci's audio affirmations and guided imagery, visit: https://www.hayhouse.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?authors=1360&q=traci+steinFollow Traci on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTStein/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtracistein/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraciSteinPhDMeditations and affirmations on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/tracistein

Have you ever noticed your team hesitating before sharing bad news? That pause often reveals the power distance leaders unintentionally create. In this conversation with Phillip B. Wilson, author of The Approachability Playbook and The Leadershift Playbook, we explore how unapproachable leadership sabotages effectiveness and silences truth.Phil explains how our brains default to the “villain assumption”—attributing negative intent to others while excusing our own actions with context. When paired with confirmation bias, this creates cultures where honesty is stifled. His antidote is the “hero assumption”: believing people fundamentally want to do great work and succeed. He shares his own humbling leadership lessons, including the moment a key team member refused to work for him despite his reputation.We also unpack Phil's Connection Model of approachability: creating the right space (being available), generating the right feeling (listening to understand), and taking the right action (following through). These simple but powerful practices shrink power gaps, build trust, and transform leadership impact. The most successful leaders aren't those with all the answers—they're the ones who create environments where people feel safe to bring forward problems, questions, and ideas.

Dr Christabelle Yeoh, integrative medicine physician, joins Lisa Costa-Bir for a deep dive into mitochondria — the organelles influencing nearly every tissue and process in the body. Moving beyond the outdated “powerhouse of the cell” view, Dr Yeoh explains how mitochondria act as processors of energy and evolutionary sentinels of immunity, redox balance, and cellular plasticity. This episode explores how dysfunction manifests clinically — from fatigue and brain fog to autonomic dysregulation, poor vitamin D supplementation uptake, and maternal-line inheritance patterns. Dr Yeoh also shares practical “biophysics prescriptions”: exposure to sunrise and sunset, blocking blue light, eating only in daylight hours, grounding in nature, and regular movement to support mitochondrial quality control. Warm, engaging, and invested in her subject, Dr Yeoh empowers practitioners with insights that place mitochondrial health as the foundation for patient care — and shows why aligning with natural rhythms is essential for resilience and recovery.

Episode 218 – Tuesday 26 August 2025 Private Devotions | Fr Peter Williams AM VG This week, we sit down with Fr Peter Williams AM VG — Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Diocese of Parramatta — to explore the practice, purpose, and power of private devotions. Fr Williams reflects on how devotions such as the Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, the Angelus, and other traditional prayers strengthen faith, foster intimacy with God, and complement the liturgy of the Church. Together with George, he discusses how devotions to relics and saints can be uniquely powerful, the growing practice of praying the Divine Office, and how private devotions, while valuable, are not the summit of Christian life — the Eucharist remains the source and summit of our faith. A rich and encouraging discussion for anyone seeking to deepen their prayer life and grow in holiness — not to be missed. – The Show is on the following Platforms: Television: TV Maria: tvmaria.ph Radio Platforms: Voice of Charity Australia (1701AM): www.voc.org.au (Live at 8pm on Tuesdays) Radio Maria Australia: https://www.radiomaria.org.au/ Social Media: @thecatholictoolboxshow Facebook & Instagram – Partners: Parousia: www.parousiamedia.com EWTN Asia Pacific: www.ewtnasiapacific.com – SUBSCRIBE to our weekly Alert and Newsletter: www.thecatholictoolboxshow.com Get your copy of "The Art of Practical Catholicism" by George Manassa: https://store.parousiamedia.com/the-art-of-practical-catholicism-your-faith-guide-george-manassa-paperback/ Get your copy of "The Art of Practical Catholicism 2" by George Manassa: https://store.parousiamedia.com/the-art-of-practical-catholicism-2-your-faith-guide-george-manassa-paperback/ Book George Manassa to speak at your parish or event now: https://www.parousiamedia.com/george-manassa/ --- DISCLAIMER This Episode does not count as Medical, Psychological or professional advice.

What if your mortgage worked like a checking account? What if every dollar you earned immediately reduced your interest charges? What if you could access your home's equity without getting a second loan or refinancing? Harrison George, the nation's top All-in-One loan producer, reveals a mortgage product that flips conventional wisdom on its head.Traditional mortgages trap your equity and front-load interest payments so heavily that at 5.625%, you pay 100% of your loan amount in interest alone.

In this week's episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Victor Sagalovsky, co-founder of Litewater Scientific, to explore one of the most cutting-edge frontiers in mitochondrial optimization: deuterium depleted water (DDW). Victor, a longtime water researcher and pioneer in bringing ultra-low deuterium water to the world, shares how this overlooked isotope may hold the key to boosting energy production, extending healthspan, and even influencing genetic expression.   Expect a mix of quantum biology, practical lifestyle strategies, and a deep dive into the physics of water as Dr. Mike and Victor decode how lowering deuterium levels impacts mitochondrial health and human longevity. Key Topics Covered Victor's Origin Story – How a lifelong fascination with water led him to co-found Litewater Scientific and make deuterium depleted water accessible . What is Deuterium? – Breaking down the isotopes of hydrogen and why deuterium disrupts mitochondrial ATP synthase, causing “stutters” in energy production. The Mitochondrial Connection – How excess deuterium damages membranes, reduces proton motive force, and accelerates aging. Deuterium & Disease – The striking links between high deuterium levels, cancer risk, and neurodegeneration. Thresholds for Health – Why 120 ppm is considered the metabolic “line in the sand,” and how most modern water supplies far exceed this. How DDW is Made – The massive proprietary columns and energy-intensive process behind creating 10 ppm and 5 ppm light water. Psychological & Cognitive Benefits – Correlations between lower deuterium levels and improved mood, optimism, and confidence. Lifestyle Strategies – Beyond DDW: fasting, ketogenic diets, hydrogen inhalation, and limiting overconsumption of food and water. Practical Outcomes – How listeners can begin to measure, lower, and optimize their own deuterium levels for energy and longevity. Key Quotes   Victor Sagalovsky: “Every eight seconds, an ATP synthase stutters because of deuterium—it's the kiss and the elbow at the same time.” “Our physiology is designed for about 120 ppm of deuterium, but most people are sitting at 150 or higher—that's the metabolic danger zone.” “When you deplete deuterium, your body thanks you. You feel lighter, both metaphorically and literally.”   Dr. Mike Belkowski: “When I first tried Litewater, I felt an immediate pull—like my cells wanted more. It was magnetizing.” “The implications for cognition, mood, and even neurodegeneration are massive when you consider how mitochondrial dense the brain is.” Episode Timeline   00:00 – Introduction & the promise of radical life extension   01:30 – Dr. Mike introduces Victor and Litewater Scientific   04:00 – Victor's background as a water researcher and discovery of DDW   07:00 – Why deuterium is the hidden disruptor in energy production   12:00 – How ATP synthase “stutters” under deuterium load   18:00 – Membrane damage, proton leakage, and mitochondrial shutdown   24:00 – Cognitive, emotional, and energetic effects of lowering deuterium   32:00 – The massive engineering challenge of producing ultra-low deuterium water   39:00 – Deuterium and cancer risk: research, case studies, and suppression   46:00 – The “line in the sand” for ppm and metabolic safety   55:00 – Lifestyle strategies: fasting, keto, hydrogen inhalation, and exercise   01:00:00 – Testing, tracking, and maintaining optimal deuterium levels   01:03:00 – Closing thoughts on energy, freedom, and future of water Resources & References Litewater Scientific Book: Deuterium Depletion: A New Strategy in Cancer Therapy - Dr. Gabor Somlyai Dr. Zoltán Nagy – Research on ATP synthase stutter and deuterium's role Deuterium Depletion Resource Hub

You've worked hard to get your solopreneur business off the ground, but what happens when things start to stall, or worse, head in the wrong direction? In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe dig into the “improving” phase of the Solopreneur Success Cycle. They uncover the seven most common failure modes that can quietly sabotage your progress, from burnout and stagnation to external threats and even your own mindset. Whether your business is thriving or just surviving, these insights will help you spot trouble early, course-correct with confidence, and keep your business aligned with the life you want to live.Popular Questions and Answers From The EpisodeWhat's the first thing solopreneurs should address when improving their business?If there's an existential threat, that has to come first. These are big, business-ending issues—like a major competitor undercutting your prices, new technology disrupting your industry, or a business model that simply isn't working. Before worrying about tweaks or small improvements, solopreneurs need to tackle these threats head-on to ensure survival.What are the “seven failure modes” solopreneurs should watch out for?Joe outlined seven common failure modes:Misalignment – your business no longer matches your goals or interests.Overload – you're working too much and burning out.Money problems – not enough revenue or profit to sustain you.External risks – outside forces like platform changes or new competitors.Stagnation – growth stalls or customers start slipping away.Execution failure – not delivering quality results to clients.Psychological barriers – mindset issues like fear, procrastination, or undercharging.Recognizing which one you're facing is the first step toward fixing it.How do solopreneurs know when it's time to reimagine their business?It's time to reimagine when your business stops serving your life. Even if it's profitable and running smoothly, if you've lost enthusiasm, feel misaligned, or your personal goals have shifted, that's a signal to step back. Sometimes improving your business isn't about fixing broken systems—it's about reshaping it so it supports the life you want today, not the one you wanted years ago.

This episode takes us back to the origins of the theater in ancient Greece where many of the ideas of democracy also originated. Tragedy began with a lament for the fatal flaws in human character, while comedy used the cutting edge of humor to expose the hypocrisy of those who misuse power. Throughout history, satire has served as an instrument of the powerless against the powerful and as a necessary expression of freedom of both imagination and speech.     The term stage comes from roots that mean “to stand or to take a stand;” not to simply be a stand-in, but to play a major role in the essential drama of living out the inner character and living truth of our soul. For, life requires that we stand for something meaningful, something beautiful, something enduring, especially during tragic times.     Psychological maturity, whether in a person, a political party or a nation depends upon the ability to stand in the tension of opposites long enough for an unexpected third way to arise. By contrast, seeing life simply as a zero sum game of winners and losers can only lead to those in power demonizing others in order to sustain a false sense of superiority.     While the two poles of a polarity may seem to be irreconcilable opposites, they are secretly part of a hidden unity, for existence itself is an essential unity appearing as a de facto duality. In times of polarization, the real point of  meaningful discussions and debates is not simply to prove one side to be right or be superior to the other, but rather to seek to a “catharsis,” an emotional and mental release that clears both the mind and the heart and can lead to a genuine sense of healing and wholeness.     The healing effects of a catharsis were considered to be an essential part of both tragedy and comedy. The point would not be to simply provoke strong emotions in the audience, but rather to create ways in which the expression of strong feelings could lead to new insights and greater realizations about life and how people, though we may disagree, each and all suffer both the inevitable conflicts of life and a deep longing for a sense of unity.     As has been said, all the world is but a stage and we, by virtue of being alive at this critical time, are the only players available to take a stand for the essential freedom and life changing imagination of the human soul. And surprising as it may seem, each soul born bears a genius self, that should it become conscious, can reveal layers of understanding and ways of healing and creating that can help change the course of the world.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

The discussion is anchored around a comprehensive review from the Mayo Proceedings and explores why opioids, despite being widely prescribed, are not effective for fibromyalgia patients and may even be harmful. The podcast also covers the mechanisms of fibromyalgia, how it differs from other pain disorders, and why alternative treatments such as FDA-approved medications, exercise, sleep management, and cognitive behavioral therapy are more effective. Listeners are encouraged to seek professional medical advice before making any changes to their treatment plans.00:00 Introduction to Opioids and Fibromyalgia01:23 Understanding Fibromyalgia and Opioid Use03:18 Medical Guidelines and Opioid Efficacy05:39 Neuroimaging Insights and Opioid Hyperalgesia07:28 Expert Opinions and Alternative Treatments08:28 Reasons for Continued Opioid Prescriptions09:27 Psychological and Social Factors10:26 Moving Forward: Multidisciplinary Care12:14 Guidance for Current Opioid Users16:24 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Support the showWhen I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...

Have you ever dismissed that quiet inner nudge, only to regret it later? While most of us think we’re missing intuition, the truth is we’re systematically blocked from accessing it. We’ve been conditioned to trust logic over the whispers of our unconscious mind. But what if there was a way to reopen that bridge between rational thinking and deeper inner knowing? In this transformative episode, psychologist and bestselling author Athena Laz reveals the hidden psychological trap that’s been severing your connection to intuitive wisdom since childhood, and introduces a powerful archetypal framework that can restore it. The Science Behind Your Blocked Intuition Athena shares compelling research that proves intuitive abilities are real and measurable. Studies by researcher Rupert Sheldrake demonstrate that humans can sense when they’re being watched from kilometres away, even when facing the opposite direction. Countless people worldwide dream of natural disasters before they occur, often in places they’ve never visited. This isn’t mystical thinking. It’s documented human capacity that most of us have learned to ignore. Introducing the Medial Archetype The conversation centres on a revolutionary concept developed in the 1950s by analyst Tony Wolff, a brilliant collaborator of Carl Jung. Wolff identified what she called the “medial archetype” – a psychological structure that serves as a bridge between: The conscious and unconscious mind Dreams and waking reality The seen and unseen worlds Inner wisdom and external action Athena brings this forgotten archetype into modern times, showing how anyone can access this bridging function regardless of gender identity or background. Why Society Programmed You to Distrust Your Gut The episode explores how social conditioning systematically disconnects us from our natural intuitive abilities. From childhood, many of us learn that psychic experiences, vivid dreams, or “knowing” things without logical explanation aren’t acceptable. This creates what Athena calls a “psychological trap” – we possess the capacity for expanded awareness but have been taught to dismiss it as imagination or wishful thinking. Recognising the Medial Archetype in Daily Life The medial archetype appears through various channels: In Dreams: Figures serving as messengers or guides Symbols of bridges, rainbows, or infinity signs Angels or beings facilitating communication In Mythology: The Greek goddess Iris, who travels rainbow bridges between the divine and mortal realms Characters who mediate between different worlds or states of consciousness In Daily Life: Synchronicities that carry authentic weight and meaning Moments when inner and outer reality seem to respond to each other Natural emergence of symbolic experiences without prompting Practical Steps to Reconnect With Your Intuition Athena provides actionable guidance for developing intuitive abilities: Start Playfully Guess where the best parking space will be Before checking your phone, sense who the next email might be from Practice on low-stakes situations to remove pressure Begin Dream Work Write down the last dream you remember each morning Look for recurring symbols or themes Notice connections between dream content and waking life events Commit to Stillness Start with just 2 minutes of quiet sitting daily Gradually build to 10-20 minutes Develop “meta-awareness” – noticing your thoughts without judgment The Light and Shadow of Archetypal Work Working with the medial archetype brings significant benefits: Increased discernment Enhanced trust in the unknown Better navigation of life transitions Deeper connection to inner wisdom However, Athena emphasises potential challenges: Feeling overwhelmed by collective energies Difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries Need for grounding practices and realistic expectations Why This Matters Now More Than Ever In our polarised world, the medial archetype’s bridge-making function becomes crucial. As technology accelerates life to unsustainable speeds and external focus creates widespread anxiety, reconnecting with inner guidance offers both personal healing and cultural evolution. Research shows the average person spends over two hours daily scrolling mindlessly online while claiming they don’t have 10 minutes for inner stillness. Athena challenges this priority, asking: “Can you afford NOT to sit in those 20 minutes?” About Athena Laz Athena Laz is the bestselling author of “Women Who Dance in the Dark,” “The Alchemy of Your Dreams,” “The Sisterhood of Seers Oracle Deck,” and “The Deliberate Dreamer’s Journal.” Her books have been translated into more than 13 languages worldwide. As an intuitive, psychologist, and lucid dream teacher, she helps thousands of people connect with spirit and psyche through dreams, mysticism, intuitive development, and archetypal work. Three Golden Nuggets: Start Today Find Play in Seriousness – Approach intuitive development with curiosity rather than pressure. Do what makes you feel good. Record Your Dreams – Write down the last dream you remember each morning. This simple practice re-energises dream recall and memory. Practice Two-Minute Stillness – Sit quietly for just two minutes daily, developing awareness of your thoughts without judgment. Key Takeaway Accessing your intuitive abilities isn’t about becoming more “spiritual” – it’s about becoming more fully human. The boundary between inner and outer worlds is far more porous than we’ve been taught. Learning to navigate this reality with skill and discernment can transform how you make decisions, understand yourself, and move through the world.

Lucinda looks at the critical role of organisational culture in driving high performance and compliance, emphasising that culture, often defined as "the way we do things around here," significantly influences employee engagement, behaviour, and decision-making.  She also discusses practical tools for mapping and diagnosing culture, such as Cameron and Quinn's cultural diagnostics and the cultural web, while highlighting the importance of psychological safety in fostering a learning environment KEY TAKEAWAYS Tools such as Cameron and Quinn's cultural diagnostics and the cultural web can help organisations assess their current culture and identify areas for improvement Creating a culture of psychological safety is vital for effective learning and development. Employees should feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and providing feedback without fear of negative consequences. Leaders play a critical role in shaping organisational culture. Their behaviours and values set the tone for the entire organisation. It is important for leaders to model the desired behaviours and encourage ethical decision-making. Compliance is increasingly viewed as a cultural issue rather than just a regulatory requirement. Organisations should embed compliance values into everyday processes and decision-making to ensure that employees understand the importance of compliance beyond mere tick-box exercises. BEST MOMENTS "Culture is so hard to define. It defines how our people show up. It defines what they prioritise, how aligned their actions are, the values they promote." "If we want to drive high performance, we are either pushing against the tide or we're going with it. And the tide in this case is culture." "Psychological safety was the top factor in terms of generating high performance teams." "Culture makes a massive difference. It's not just about compliance; it's about whether the people follow things."

Send us a textHester Jean LeeWorld Central KitchenWhat propels people to keep fighting for change when everything seems hopeless? This question sits at the heart of our exploration into the transformative power of hope as a revolutionary act."Hope isn't blind optimism or wishful thinking—it's the hammer we use to break glass in emergencies." Drawing inspiration from the late activist Adi Barkin, we distinguish between optimism as a mere opinion and hope as the catalyst for meaningful action. When the world feels darkest, hope becomes our most radical choice.We shine light on everyday revolutionaries who embody this principle: Representative Melanie Stansbury fighting for justice despite personal risk, TikToker Hester Jean Lee supporting vulnerable street vendors, Chef Jose Andres delivering aid in conflict zones, and Gazan music teacher Ahmed Muin Abu-Amsha transforming drone sounds into healing harmonies. These individuals don't act because success is guaranteed—they act because hope demands it.Psychological research confirms what spiritual traditions have long taught: hope is a decision, not a feeling. It's built brick by brick through consistent action and strengthened through community. While despair might be the easier choice, hope calls us to something greater—to believe in possibilities beyond our past experiences and imagine futures we haven't yet witnessed.Ready to find your own "hopers" and join the revolution of the hopeful?

From medieval monasteries to modern suburban bedrooms, people describe encounters with entities that seduce, terrorize, and feed upon their victims in ways that blur the line between nightmare and reality. These accounts span every culture and continent, from ancient Mesopotamian texts about the demon Lilith to contemporary Reddit posts about beings that attach themselves like parasites to human souls. Tonight's journey explores the disturbing consistency of these testimonies across millennia, and asks why so many unconnected people describe experiencing the exact same phenomena - entities that wait until we're at our most vulnerable, when sleep and waking merge, to make their presence terrifyingly known.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:34.344 = Show Open00:05:34.552 = The Sleep Paralysis Connection00:20:18.980 = Modern Encounters, Ancient Methods00:43:26.557 = Breaking The Ancestral Chain00:53:48.871 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Sex and the Single Succubus”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/sexandthesinglesuccubus“Temptation To Terror, Seduction To Screams”: https://weirddarkness.com/incubus-succubus/Church of the Undead episode about sleep paralysis: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-sleepparalysis/BOOK: “Sleep Paralysis: Historical, Psychological and Medical Perspectives” by Brian Sharpless: https://amzn.to/46HXtTI=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Key Points Zoe was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 17 after experiencing symptoms for four years, which was considered fortunate since the average diagnosis period for women is typically eight years.Medical professionals initially dismissed her severe pain as heavy periods, with male gynecologists showing less empathy than female healthcare workers, and doctors wanting to induce early menopause through injections rather than natural surgical menopause.Treatment protocol included multiple contraceptive methods like implants, injections, coils, and hormone replacement tablets that caused negative mental side effects, followed by laparoscopic surgery for definitive diagnosis.Psychological impact was severely negative, especially during her formative years, leading to lifestyle changes and the realization that lifestyle factors can minimize endometriosis pain and symptoms.Heavy pharmaceutical dependency developed with doctors prescribing tramadol eight times daily for two years, morphine, and gabapentin, creating withdrawal issues that required gradual tapering under medical supervision.Six operations were performed over the years, with endometriosis affecting her bowel, uterus, and tubes, including the controversial removal of her left ovary despite right-side pain and ongoing right-side cysts.Decision to pursue holistic alternatives occurred around COVID-19 after her husband advocated for proper hospital treatment, leading to research into detoxing and healthy lifestyle implementation.Medical cannabis journey began with recreational use that showed benefits, progressing to obtaining a UK can card for legal protection, then transitioning to a proper medical cannabis clinic three years ago.Cannabis treatment includes THC and CBD capsules for bowel-related symptoms, THC drops taken sublingually, and flower consumed through a Mighty Medic vaporizer, with monthly prescriptions and quarterly reviews.Remarkable recovery occurred post-surgery with no nausea or sickness, appetite restoration, and four kilograms weight gain after losing eight kilograms over three months of severe illness.Family support system including her husband with PTSD, two children aged 11 and 12, and her father who raised her from age five provides the primary motivation for maintaining health and recovery.Victoria, a woman who achieved 11 years of pain-free living through magnesium, supplements, yoga, and lifestyle changes, inspired Zoe's holistic approach combined with positive mindset training.Encouragement for newly diagnosed women emphasizes personal strength, connecting with online endometriosis communities, open family communication, independent research beyond doctor recommendations, and daily gratitude practices.

True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!
