388 Changing Dynamics   Growth is something that cannot easily be stopped. Whether it be the weeds in a garden, or the inquisitive mind of a child, growth in all is something that should be encouraged and nurtured, even if it's by our own hands, so that we can become the people we know we can be. Someone better than who we were yesterday. In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Carlos Joaquin discuss the importance of Curiosity, Growth, Unity, and the Dynamics in not just the work place but in the home life, and how incredibly important it is to encourage those around you and to be the leader your peers need you to be.    Highlights Curiosity and how it makes people with power uncomfortable and people in need of strength, powerful. Moving on, even when it's hard, because that's what is best for you.  Standing together, especially when faced with strife, is the strongest thing you can do. Comparison is the enemy of growth and unity. Creating a safe environment to express something and not be dismissed or treated differently, so everyone can be apart of the discussion. Growing, and helping others grow, through finding Your community.   Quotes “We decided we're not going to be a part of this anymore, and we're going to say goodbye, and we did, and it was hard, but I think we found strength in each other, and we were united.”  “Psychological safety is a key factor of any learning and development. And if you can't have that then, there's always this lingering or this resistance or this inability to even share or to connect.”  “You focus on that person and you find out, what do they care about, how can I help them get a little bit of that into their lives? Because it's more than numbers, it's more than metrics, it's caring about this person and this person will deliver those numbers, this person will deliver those metrics.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What is something that happened in your life, early in your life, that you can now attach to your values? That you can look back, maybe at the time you didn't see it, but you can look back now and see it as a pivotal moment that made you who you are right now. And how can you reframe the story? So that, like Carlos does, you find those silver lining moments, that you understand intuitively and innately, that you can do better. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Carlos (from his website) I work with small businesses, founders, and teams to improve communication, leadership, and customer experience. Whether it's a one-on-one coaching session, a team workshop, or consulting on systems, I help people move from scattered to strategic — with heart. Check out Carlos's LinkedIn and Instagram! As well as his website!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

How to Create Psychological Safety in Your Team From Ego to Empathy: Reframing Executive Presence Episode 264 (Richard is based in South Africa) In this conversation with Richard Reid we explore: the true meaning of charisma and why it's more about how others feel than how you appear the role of psychological safety in building trust, influence, and innovation why self-awareness is the foundation of authentic leadership how emotional leakage can sabotage your message and your team culture strategies to reset your internal state between meetings for greater presence how leaders can communicate calm during crises through deliberate body language and speech the power of micro-habits to improve energy, confidence, and communication how reflection and journaling enhance resilience and leadership effectiveness practical routines to prevent burnout and show up as your best self how leaders can foster a growth mindset and create space for others to shine ----- About our guest, Richard Reid: Richard is the author of "Charisma Unlocked: The Science and Strategy to Captivate, Influence and Succeed in Business". He was Chief People Officer at a global law firm. He is from the UK and now lives in South Africa. Learn more about his Masterclasses and coaching at https://richard-reid.com/live-events/charisma-workshops/ ----- Key lessons from this conversation: Charisma is about how others feel, not how impressive you appear. Psychological safety is central to charisma and effective leadership. Charisma starts with self-awareness and managing your internal world. Reflective routines enhance emotional regulation and presence. Effective communication means seeing others as individuals, not objects. In a crisis, calm leadership is conveyed through body language and vocal control. Leaders need to be intentional with their energy and meeting schedules. Small micro-habits, like breathing or posture resets, have a big impact. True charisma is sustainable and rooted in authenticity, not performance. Teams thrive when members feel safe to express themselves and fail forward. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

What if your team's biggest performance blocker wasn't capability—but silence? In this episode, I'm joined by psychological safety expert Gary Keogh to unpack why so many people still don't feel safe to speak up at work—and how most leaders are blind to it. We explore what psychological safety really is (and isn't), why two in five people still hold back, and why 70% of leaders think their teams feel safer than they actually do. Gary shares practical insights into the four domains of psychological safety, the impact of accurately measuring it, and the powerful shifts he sees during the breakthrough sessions he runs with teams. We also flip the usual doom-and-gloom narrative, highlighting positive examples like Netflix's “farming for dissent” approach. If you want to build a high-trust, high-performance culture—this is where it starts. ----more---- Key Takeaways Silence is the hidden killer of performance: Two in five employees hold back ideas or concerns due to fear, costing organisations innovation, speed, and trust. Psychological safety isn't about comfort, it's about candour: It's not about being “nice.” It's about creating space for honest, respectful challenge without fear of reprisal. There are 4 domains of Psychological Safety: Willingness to help, inclusion & belonging, attitude to risk & failure, and open conversations. Stop guessing. Start measuring: A 3-minute survey can uncover the truth, spark the right conversations, and drive lasting behaviour change. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – Why silence still rules too many workplaces 0:04:00 – Gary's purpose: Unlocking and igniting potential 0:06:40 – What makes people hold back and what leaders miss 0:09:10 – What psychological safety is (and isn't) 0:13:55 – The four domains of psychological safety 0:17:45 – Real breakthroughs from team sessions 0:22:40 – Why safety must be a group phenomenon 0:26:20 – Netflix's “informed captain” & farming for dissent 0:30:10 – How to handle challenge and feedback the right way 0:34:30 – Data sparks conversation and change 0:40:20 – What sustained impact really looks like 0:42:55 – Gary's 3 Sticky Notes for building psychological safety ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Gary Keogh on LinkedIn here Find Gary's website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

”The Human Cost Of Efficiency” Join me and my guests Dan Parry, Head of Communications at London based Working Voices and Nick Smallman, Founder and CEO at Working Voices (workingvoices.com) as we discuss their new book Engaging Teams. Work environments that largely stress efficiency while devaluing employee wellbeing are contributing to an epidemic of worker disengagement. Businesses that hope to survive disruption and retain a skilled workforce must recognize that their survival depends upon employee wellbeing. The worldwide cost of employee disengagement in terms of lost productivity has reached $8.9 trillion a year — equal to 9 percent of global GDP. SPONSORED BY POWER OF YOU™ . Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/power-of-you Summary In this conversation, Blaine, Dan Parry, and Nick Smallman explore the concept of the 'soul of business' and its implications for employee engagement and organizational culture. They discuss the persistent issue of worker disengagement, the impact of efficiency-driven practices on employee morale, and the importance of social wellbeing in fostering a thriving workplace. The discussion highlights the need for leaders to adopt a more human-centric approach to business, especially in the wake of challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. They discuss the critical importance of psychological safety, employee autonomy, and the impact of AI on the workplace. They explore the causes of burnout and the need for future skills in a rapidly changing work environment. The discussion emphasizes the role of culture in fostering social well-being and the strategic importance of HR in enhancing employee engagement and retention. Takeaways The soul of business evokes emotional engagement. Employee disengagement has not improved in 25 years. COVID revealed long-standing disengagement issues. Efficiency can lead to employee resentment. Survivor syndrome affects those who remain after layoffs. Human consequences of efficiency are often overlooked. Leaders must focus on social wellbeing. Creating a less human workplace is unhealthy. The best workable solution is not always the most efficient. Engaging teams is crucial for performance and culture. Suppressing natural human rebellions is counterproductive. Psychological safety is essential for creativity and innovation. Employee autonomy leads to greater engagement and satisfaction. AI will significantly change workplace dynamics in the coming years. Burnout often stems from disconnection from meaningful work. Future skills include critical thinking and emotional intelligence. Social well-being is crucial for a healthy workplace culture. Trust and respect are foundational to employee engagement. HR should act as a strategic partner in fostering workplace culture. Leadership must focus on guiding teams through change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when the world's most powerful intelligence agency turns its weapons on the human mind? In this bone-chilling episode, a former CIA operative breaks his oath of silence to expose the agency's most horrific secret: a decades-long psychological warfare program that has destroyed thousands of innocent lives and weaponized human consciousness itself. This isn't conspiracy theory - this is the testimony of someone who was there, who participated in the madness, and who can no longer live with the guilt of what they've done to fellow human beings. Prepare yourself for revelations that will haunt your nightmares as our anonymous whistleblower reveals the CIA's systematic use of psychological torture, mind control experiments, and terror tactics that make waterboarding look like child's play. From the continuation of MK-Ultra's horrific legacy to modern-day psychological operations conducted on American soil, from the deliberate creation of trauma-based mind control to the use of psychiatric hospitals as cover for human experimentation - we'll expose techniques so disturbing that even hardened intelligence professionals have suffered mental breakdowns after witnessing them. But the most terrifying revelation? These programs never ended - they evolved. Our insider reveals how the CIA has perfected psychological manipulation techniques now being used against political dissidents, whistleblowers, and anyone who threatens their operations. We'll learn about the "no-touch torture" methods that leave no physical scars but completely shatter the human psyche, the technology that can induce specific psychological states remotely, and the global network of black sites where these experiments continue today. This former agent risked everything to bring you this information, knowing that speaking out could cost them their life. Their conscience couldn't bear the weight of the atrocities they witnessed and participated in. The human mind isn't just a target for the CIA - it's their most powerful weapon.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses the impact of fear on project management and the role of psychological safety in transforming fear into positive and effective actions. Fears such as making mistakes, being judged, or losing your job can silence teams, hindering decisions and innovation. Psychological safety, a concept developed by Amy Edmondson, allows people to express themselves without fear of punishment. Leaders play a fundamental role in demonstrating vulnerability and encouraging participation. This does not eliminate discipline, but it dissociates it from fear, replacing it with respect and trust. Authoritarian cultures can generate quick results, but they compromise the team's potential. To reduce fear, genuinely listen to your team and share your own concerns. Projects are made by people, and people need trust. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Living with OCD isn't just about managing anxiety—it's about reclaiming your life through your values. In this powerful episode of the OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova welcomes OCD therapist Lennon Jones, founder of Golden Hour OCD and Anxiety, to explore how personal values bring clarity, purpose, and resilience to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.   ERP, first line treatment for OCD treatment, can often feel grueling, especially when it's reduced to simply "sitting with anxiety." Lennon shares why this approach can feel torturous without an internal compass—and how integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shifts the focus from fear to meaning. Together, Kristina and Lennon unpack how clarifying your values (like connection, creativity, or service) can turn exposures from hollow tasks into empowering acts of self-trust.   They dive into psychological flexibility, the antidote to OCD's rigid thinking, and offer real-life examples of how values-based actions—even small ones—can help you live with purpose, despite intrusive thoughts. Whether you're just starting treatment or navigating setbacks, this episode offers hope, compassion, and actionable guidance for building a life driven by what matters most.   Tune in to learn how to stop living for certainty—and start living for your values. The 3 things you'll learn in  today's episode: What makes OCD treatment feel torturous—and how a simple mindset shift can change everything The surprising mistake many people make with exposure therapy (and what to do instead). Why saying “maybe I am a terrible person” might actually be the path to healing. In This Episode   [00:00:01] Introduction and guest welcome   [00:01:10] The importance of values in ERP   [00:03:57] Meaning behind exposures   [00:05:48] Blending ERP and ACT: Facing daunting thoughts   [00:09:25] Building a solid values base   [00:10:13] Evolution of ERP and incorporating values   [00:11:45] Values in relationship OCD   [00:12:33] Values are not perfection   [00:14:19] Introducing psychological flexibility   [00:15:13] CBT, ERP, and psychological flexibility   [00:18:33] Recognizing rigidity and all-or-nothing thinking   [00:20:17] Practical values-based tool   [00:24:05] Exposure to your true self   [00:25:41] Autonomy and making choices   [00:26:44] Trusting yourself and closing thoughts   [00:27:03] How to find Lennon    Notable Quotes   [02:15] "Exposure therapy should not be torture. And if it doesn't have those values, beliefs, that trust in yourself behind it, a lot of times it can be torturous for people." —Lennon   [23:59] "Sometimes the exposure we're trying to do is exposing yourself to who you really are.." — Lennon   [11:48] "If I'm having a relationship-based OCD and not sure about my partner, but I know connection is a value for me, then yeah, maybe I'm going to go and spend time with my partner even though I'm feeling anxious and uncomfortable."— Kristina   [12:47] "A value per se is not measurable. Like you can't reach a certain level of perfection in the value." — Lennon   [13:59] "Psychological flexibility... is the goal of exposure therapy. We want to be more flexible in these situations. We want to just enjoy our lives." — Lennon   [21:58] "I'm open about my OCD. There's still a certain way I thought, and next thing you know, you're right back in this anxious state that just feels horrendous.'." — Kristina   [23:12] "Even in an area where your senses can't detect anything, the reasonable, rational way to live is to do that functional certainty thing and just to assume you're okay." — Mike Parker Our Guest   Lennon Jones is a licensed OCD and anxiety therapist based in Southern Utah and the founder of Golden Hour OCD and Anxiety, a digital platform offering support and education for those navigating OCD recovery. She specializes in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients move from fear-driven behavior to values-based living.

Dating, Part 2 Do you need some love? Expert dating advice today! Today we feature two of our favorite people, Dr. Kyle Jones and Dr. Carly Zankman, who will discuss many aspects of dating. Both Kyle and Carly are advanced and highly effective TEAM CBT therapists with tons of experience in dating, and of course, in treatment. They share their personal experiences, as well as their considerable therapeutic expertise, in this highly energetic podcast. They cover a wide range of topics including ghosting, dealing with people who give you the run-around, negative self-fulfilling prophecies, Rejection Practice, how to avoid “chasing” (which Kyle calls the “Temptations Trap”) so you can be the one who's being chased instead of the one who's doing the chasing, the importance of being playful and how to make dating fun. The also encouraged avoiding some of the common kinds of negative self-talk, like “This date will suck,” or “I'll always be alone,” or “People shouldn't be so superficial,” etc. Kyle and David discussed Kyle's first Sunday hike. Kyle had just been rejected by his boyfriend, and was feeling super down, telling  himself he was a reject and a loser. They describe how Kyle change his internal dialogue during the hike, and began to talk to himself as a winner, as an awesome, hot, sexy guy, which lifted his mood tremendously. Then David suggested a strategy designed to turn the tables on his ex-boyfriend: “Just go to a gay singles bar tonight and pick up some good looking guy and get laid! If you do that, I can guarantee your Ex will come crawling back, and then you can kick some sand in his face!” Abd that's exactly what happened! David emphasized the importance of looking your best, in terms of clothing and appearance, when dating, as well as the resistance that some people have (mostly men) who insist they “shouldn't have to play the gain.” I described my collaboration with a salesperson at the King of Prussia Bloomingdale's named Kuniko Finkelstein when I was in clinical practice in Philadelphia. I used to refer my single guys to her for a “sex uniform,” and she would select extremely sexy and appealing outfits for them. We highlighted the self-centeredness and foolishness of telling yourself that women or men should love me for the way I am. They say, “I shouldn't have to play the game.” Of course, you DON'T have to play the game, but if you don't, you may and probably will end up alone! And once you DO learn how to “play the game,” your chances of finding a deep and meaningful love relationship go way up.

Hi Friends,In our latest episode, Anna and I get into a topic that brings up a lot of emotions for parents: How to navigate sweets with kids?We talk about into: * Why sugar has been demonized in our culture.* Diet culture and beliefs about sugar and “good parenting.”* What sugar is and why our bodies need it.* Myths about sugar.* The link between restriction and kids' interest in sweets.* Realistic advice on how to create structure around sweets.* How we talk about sweets matters. Anna and I also share personal examples from our own homes — plus our favorite sweets right now!Mentioned in this episode:* Let's Talk About Sugar(blog post)* Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding Membership* Ellen Satter's Division of Responsibility* Leann Birch Research* Pinney Davenport Nutrition* Lutz, Alexander & Associates, Nutrition TherapyWe'd love to hear from you!Have a question about sweets or a myth you want us to bust? You can listen to the Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast on Substack, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Podcast TranscriptElizabeth:Hi, Anna. It's great to see you.Anna:Hi, Elizabeth. I'm so excited to see you and talk about this topic.Elizabeth:Yeah! Today we're diving into a topic that brings up a lot of feelings for parents: sugar.We often get questions like:Should I limit sweets?How do I navigate sweets in my house?What do I do if my kids are asking for dessert all the time?If that's you—you're not alone. Let's jump in and chat about sweets and how to navigate them.Anna:Great! Sounds good to me. Elizabeth: So why do you think sugar has become such a villain, especially when it comes to parenting and feeding kids?Anna:I think as a society, we like to put things into categories—good or bad—and the nuance gets lost. That's gotten even more heightened with social media and how we consume information.It's easier to say, “These foods have lots of nutrition” and “These foods don't, so they must be bad.” But the truth is, food is way more complicated.Putting foods in these categories isn't scientifically accurate, and it doesn't reflect how we feel about food, who we eat with, our culture—there's so much more to health than just nutrients.Elizabeth::I couldn't agree more. Social media really impacts how people think about food. Quick soundbites don't leave room for nuance, and people click on sensational posts, not on ones that say, “Well, it's complicated…”Anna:Exactly.Elizabeth:How would you say diet culture has shaped our beliefs about sugar and what it means to be a “good parent”?Anna:Diet culture touches every part of our society—including parenting. There's this idea that to be a “good parent” your child should eat certain foods, not eat others, and be a certain size.But what I'd love the message to be is: as parents, we can strive to help our kids eat all kinds of foods, enjoy celebrations, and navigate different situations.Elizabeth:Yes! It's sad that it's become so black and white when food is wonderful and fun—and sweets taste awesome. Sugar is necessary! Let's talk about what sugar really is from a nutrition science perspective.Anna:Great. We have a blog post on the science of sugar we can link to!There are three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Sugar is a type of carbohydrate. Our brains and muscles run on glucose, which comes from carbohydrates.When people talk about sugar, they usually mean simple carbohydrates—1 or 2 glucose molecules linked together. These digest faster than complex carbohydrates (starches), which are lots of glucose molecules linked together.Elizabeth:Exactly. Simple carbs give quick energy—which we need! And at the end of the day, all carbs break down into glucose.Elizabeth:What's a myth you hear most often?Anna:That sugar makes kids hyper. The research doesn't support that!Kids might get quick energy from sugar alone, but it doesn't cause hyperactivity. Often it's the excitement of the setting—like a party—that's at play.Elizabeth:Right. And when sugar is eaten with protein or fat—like in cake or ice cream—it digests more slowly.Anna:Another myth is that sugar has no nutritional value.Elizabeth:Yes! Sugar gives us energy. And it's usually in foods that contain other nutrients, like fruit (fiber, vitamins, minerals). Let's touch on sugar “addiction.”Anna:We need food to survive. We don't say people are addicted to oxygen, right?When people restrict sugar, it tastes especially good when they finally have it. That's our body's survival mechanism.Anna:Yes. And brain scans showing activity when we eat sugar just show that food is rewarding—which it has to be, because we need it!Elizabeth:Let's talk about restriction and how it increases kids' interest in sweets.Anna:Restriction can mean not allowing sweets in the house or even commenting negatively when they're eaten. Psychological restriction counts too—like, “You can't have dessert until you eat your broccoli.”And even things like putting just two tiny candies in a lunchbox can be a form of restriction that sends a message of scarcity.Elizabeth:Exactly. We know from research that restriction makes kids want those foods more, and they may eat past fullness when they do get access.Anna:Right. Instead, we can offer sweets in a structured way. For example:* A small sweet in lunches* A sweet after dinner most nights* Occasionally offering sweets as a snack and letting kids eat until they're fullThe key is to help sweets be just one part of what they eat—not the forbidden prize.Elizabeth:Why do we avoid demonizing language about sugar?Anna:It confuses kids: If this is so bad, why does my parent give it to me?It also can create shame. Kids think, I like this—am I bad for liking it?Elizabeth:If a parent's child is constantly asking for sweets, what's one thing they could try today?Anna:Offer sweets proactively—before your child asks. Maybe serve a small dessert with dinner. It helps shift away from the battle and reassures your child that sweets are available.Elizabeth:And let your kids see you enjoying sweets too. That modeling matters!So before we wrap up: what's your favorite sweet right now?Anna:Chocolate-covered cherries from Trader Joe's—and I recently discovered seven-layer bars at Whole Foods! I also love baking pies in summer.Elizabeth:Ice cream—especially Tillamook Malted Moo.If you'd like to dive deeper into this topic and join a community focused on raising kids with a healthy relationship with food, check out our Sunny Side Up membership.Thanks for listening!Resources Mentioned:* Let's Talk About Sugar(blog post)* Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding Membership* Ellen Satter's Division of Responsibility* Leann Birch Research* Pinney Davenport Nutrition* Lutz, Alexander & Associates, Nutrition Therapy This is a public episode.

Despite being a buzzword in businesses worldwide, when asked to define it, most leaders draw a complete blank. This fundamental disconnect prevents organizations from delivering the transformative experiences that turn ordinary customers into passionate advocates.Customer experience isn't just having friendly staff—that's merely one ingredient in a complex recipe. The true psychological definition is "the totality of cognitive, effective, sensory and behavioral responses of a customer during all stages of the consumption process." This encompasses every single touchpoint before and after purchase. While hospitality skills and customer service are components, neither captures the comprehensive journey that shapes how people perceive your brand.The most successful businesses—from five-star hotels to Michelin restaurants—understand this distinction. They don't obsess over financial metrics; they obsess over creating exceptional moments at every interaction point. This mindset shift produces remarkable results: when you focus on crafting extraordinary experiences, sales and referrals naturally follow. The organizations fixated on experiences consistently outperform those fixated on numbers.This same principle applies equally to employee experience. Your team members experience a journey with touchpoints before and after being hired, each one shaping their engagement and performance. The culture you create directly impacts how well they'll deliver exceptional customer experiences when nobody's watching. True leadership means mapping these journeys, identifying every interaction, and finding ways to make each one uniquely valuable.Ready to transform your approach? Map every customer touchpoint, evaluate how each compares to competitors, and remember that regardless of your industry—you're in the people business first. Join us at our upcoming Nashville event to develop the skills needed to implement this experience-focused mindset across your organization.Welcome to the Brian Wright Show, a podcast downloaded in 127 countries.

Story at-a-glance Two-thirds of chronic back pain sufferers became pain-free or nearly pain-free after just four weeks of pain reprocessing therapy Psychological therapy rewires how your brain processes pain, reducing activity in brain regions that amplify fear and threat A large clinical trial found that belief shifts — specifically learning that pain isn't a sign of injury — were strongly tied to lasting relief from chronic back pain Functional MRI scans confirmed that therapy changed not just symptoms, but the brain's physical pain networks and emotional circuits You can begin retraining your brain at home using CBT-based strategies, guided movement, and tools that target fear-pain loops

This transformative hypnosis session was created for a client who wanted to prepare for the next phase of their life, reflecting on the progress they had made. They wanted to feel that they were priming the neural pathways to increase the probability of making even more progress. 

Breaking Down The Karen Read Trial From 2 Perspectives With Bob Motta & Tony Brueski In this must‑watch episode of Hidden Killers, veteran defense attorney Bob Motta and true crime host Tony Brueski team up for a rare, civil‑conversation style breakdown of the Karen Read verdict. Motta insists Karen is innocent, pointing to forensic flaws, DNA ambiguity, and a possible blackout memory gap—while Brueski argues it was likely a tragic accident, not manslaughter, and points to injury patterns consistent with an unintended collision. We dive deep into: Legal strategy: Why Motta shifted from “voicemail rage” theory to a psychological blackout defense Forensic details: Spatter, impact analysis, shoe‑DNA, and accident reconstruction Psychological elements: Karen's inconsistent statements, possible dissociation under stress, and mental health triggers True crime hooks: Did the jury buy the deception or the defense's blackout narrative? Twisting mystery: Was John O'Keefe a victim of fate—or did Karen's own narrative betray her? Featuring exclusive verdict analysis, courtroom psychology insights, and a forensic science deep‑dive, this video is essential for anyone fascinated by criminal memory, legal nuance, and justice vs deception. If you're into true crime, fascinated by DNA evidence, or want an unfiltered legal breakdown, this is your go‑to summary of the Karen Read trial aftermath.  Hit  to see both sides finally come together, examine the evidence, and debate the true meaning of manslaughter vs accident.

Send us a textIs sex is a human need within marriage? Let's address the tension between those who see "need" language as potentially coercive and those who feel legitimate sexual desires shouldn't be shamed. Psychological research does classify sex as a human need, but the real issue is how couples can co-create a reality for a mutually satisfying sexual relationship. Rather than pressuring reluctant partners, couples should focus on building marriages where both people genuinely want and enjoy sexual intimacy.BECOME ONE OF OUR MONTHLY DONORS:We're aiming for 50 new monthly donors, for even as little as $10 a month!
