Ever wondered how small psychological shifts can create massive life changes? Stanford psychology professor Greg Walton reveals the science behind "wise interventions" - evidence-based strategies that tackle psychological barriers and transform educational outcomes. Through fascinating research and compelling stories, Walton explains how feeling like you don't belong, approaching challenges with fixed thinking, and other psychological barriers can trigger downward spirals—and how these same barriers can be overcome with targeted interventions. From why changing "I write" to "I am a writer" creates deeper identity, to the surprising impact of acknowledging differences, Walton shares insights from his groundbreaking book, "Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts."

“The truth of the matter is” podcast is all about providing an honest, contextual, historicized, Philosophical and Psychological view of the Bible through the use of Hermeneutics, while sharing some personal experiences from myself, Daniel and on occasion our special guest. We believe in sharing practical ways of applying God's word to everyday life. Today I spoke with the first ever christian couple that appeared together on the show. It was an honor and privilege to speak to them both. Learning how they are different and also how they complement one another is something I believe we can learn from their marriage of 55 years so having them on was a treat. Tune in and see if you agree!

Contrary to popular belief – making more money doesn't necessarily mean you'll be happier in life. The same can be said for societies as a whole, especially when it comes to countries with lopsided wealth distribution leading to high levels of inequality. So what are the connections between that inequality,people's general wellbeing, and politics? Keith Payne is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill. His books, Good Reasonable People: The Psychology Behind America's Dangerous Divide and The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Affects the Way We Think, Live, and Die explore the science behind inequality and the far-reaching impact it has on modern society. Keith and Greg discuss how inequality affects subjective wellbeing and societal outcomes, the connection between inequality and political polarization, strategies to mitigate psychological harm of inequality, and how understanding these psychological mechanisms can improve cross-party dialogues and reduce divisiveness.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why facts don't win arguments51:42: Starting with the goal of understanding is  important, and then when we're actually engaging with the other person, we have this tendency , as soon as they say something is true, we say, well, that's not true, and here are my facts and figures. And so we need to stop trying to bludgeon the other person into agreeing with us by citing facts and better evidence. That may sound counterintuitive, especially in the academic world where I live, because, but that's the currency, right, for argumentation. That's not where most people are coming from. I mean, they care about the facts, but only as tools to defend their social identities. And so, I think a better question to ask is, well, not why do you believe that in terms of why are you wrong about the facts, but what is believing that doing for your psychological bottom line? How is that serving your sense of identity and your group loyalties?Status is more than your paycheck12:50: We need to find ways to judge our status not purely in terms of wealth or income, and to make those richer kind of social connections, as a source of status. Because those are things we have more control over than how rich the 1% is.What shapes our political beliefs06:39:  It is perceived inequality that makes a big difference. And you have to see the wealth around you. And usually, that's not comparing ourselves to the top one-tenth of 1%, because we don't see the billionaires. Even if you live in Manhattan and are surrounded by billionaires, you still don't see it much, right? People like that live in gated communities, surrounded by privacy-insuring mechanisms and stuff. What we see is maybe the top 20% who are driving expensive cars and showing off their vacation pictures on Facebook. So, for the psychological comparisons, you do have to have some visible inequality there. But there's other ways that extreme levels of inequality affect society through non-visible means. [07:34] When it comes to the day-to-day psychological experience of living in an unequal society, the blatant visibility or invisibility of wealth has a lot to do with it.How inequality reshapes our behavior37:07: We found that in high inequality countries, and in high inequality states within the United States, people are engaged in more risky financial behavior — whether that's buying lottery tickets, or not investing for retirement, going to check cashing places rather than traditional banking, et cetera. So that all happens more in high inequality places, and you can see the same sort of patterns with regard to non-financial risk taking around health, like drug use, cigarette smoking — things that are high risk but immediate reward in terms of hedonic or affective reactions — are better predicted by inequality than by poverty as well.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Easterlin paradoxPhilip ConverseDonald KinderNathan P.

188  Developing healthy boundaries is an absolutely essential part of having a great intimate relationship, especially as highly sensitive people.They are a way to take care of yourself, each other, and the relationship.  I teach 3 types of boundaries, and today we are diving into the 2 psychological, or energetic types of boundaries: Protection boundaries, and containment boundaries. (Please listen to episode 51 for Relationship Boundary Basics.)When you use these kinds of boundaries skillfully, you will be able to create more closeness in your relationship, and leave beyond patterns and behaviors that create extra division, conflict,  and animosity.The thing is, many HSPs are a bit weak in these particular boundaries. So let's change that starting now! Dive in to hear what these two types of boundaries are, whether or not you need to strengthen them for yourself, and how and when to implement them. For each type, you will hear 2 or 3 tips to grow stronger boundaries (including two visualizations you can use over and over again), so you can feel less pain, resentment, and regret, and be more skillful at communicating and connecting with your partner. Listen in.SHOW NOTES:CHECK OUT THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Coaching Privately with Hannah ENJOYING THE PODCAST?Don't miss an episode!

Seventeen years.One missing child.A thousand headlines.And still—no answers. But what if the real story isn't the one we were told? In this bold, fictionalized follow-up to The Guilty Files: Uncovered, host Dani peels back the layers of the Madeleine McCann case—not to rewrite the facts, but to rewire how we think about them. Using her background in law enforcement, psychology, and sociology, Dani walks listeners through nine dramatized acts that reimagine what might have happened that night in Praia da Luz. From a tourist who saw something but said nothing, to a grief-stricken forensic scientist who twisted the truth, to a final confession decades too late—this isn't just crime storytelling. This is speculative justice. Along the way, Dani confronts the institutional flaws that shaped the investigation, the class privilege that distorted public perception, and the uncomfortable questions we've all been too afraid to ask. Plus, he shares a personal story from his time as a beat officer in Atlanta—a haunting parallel that brings this fictional journey crashing into reality.

In this episode, I return to a topic I covered early on: rejection resilience. This time, I'm taking a direct look at ghosting. We explore the difference between hurt and harm, why not every disappearance is an act of betrayal, and how emotional entitlement shows up in the aftermath. For those in the BDSM community, where intensity and vulnerability run deep, ghosting can feel like a violation. But is it always? I break down why autonomy includes the right to walk away, how we confuse discomfort with danger, and what it really takes to move on without closure. It won't be easy listening, but it's a conversation that needs to happen.ReferencesCampbell, W. K., Bonacci, A. M., Shelton, J.,Exline, J. J., & Bushman, B. J. (2004).

In this episode of the Personality Hacker podcast, Joel and Antonia break down Robert Kegan's Levels of Consciousness or Orders of the Mind into five stages of adult development.   https://personalityhacker.com 

Part 1 The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells Summary"The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" by David Wallace-Wells is a sobering, urgent exploration of the potential consequences of climate change if immediate action is not taken to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The book is structured around various predictions and scenarios that could emerge from escalating global temperatures, highlighting the severity of the crisis we face. Key Themes and Concepts:Immediate Threats: Wallace-Wells emphasizes that the impacts of climate change are not distant threats but present realities affecting millions of people worldwide. He discusses extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and deteriorating ecosystems that we are already experiencing.Feedback Loops: The book outlines how climate change can lead to feedback mechanisms that compound the problem, such as the melting of polar ice which reduces the Earth's reflectivity (albedo) and accelerates warming.Global Inequality: Wallace-Wells points out that climate change disproportionately affects poorer nations and marginalized communities who are least responsible for carbon emissions. This inequity raises moral questions about responsibility and justice in climate action.Potential Scenarios: He presents various potential futures based on different levels of warming (e.g., 1.5°C, 2°C, and beyond). Each increase in temperature comes with exponentially greater risks, such as crop failures, mass migrations, and widespread conflict over resources.Psychological and Social Impact: The author discusses the psychological toll of climate anxiety and how it can lead to inaction or nihilism in the face of such dire predictions. He argues for the necessity of a shift in public discourse to facilitate a collective response.Calls to Action: Wallace-Wells makes a compelling case for urgent global policy changes, widespread adoption of renewable energy, and rethinking economic growth models to prioritize sustainability over profit. Conclusion:"The Uninhabitable Earth" serves as a wake-up call about the potential realities of a world ravaged by climate change if decisive steps are not taken. It combines scientific research, data analysis, and evocative storytelling to paint a vivid picture of the potential future we face. Wallace-Wells urges readers to take the threat seriously and advocate for radical changes to avert a path toward an uninhabitable planet.Part 2 The Uninhabitable Earth AuthorDavid Wallace-Wells is an American journalist and author, best known for his work on climate change and its implications for the future. He is a deputy editor at New York Magazine and has contributed various articles focusing on environmental issues. The Uninhabitable EarthRelease Date: David Wallace-Wells released "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" on February 19, 2019.Overview: The book is a compelling exploration of the potential future consequences of climate change, detailing the catastrophic scenarios that could unfold if global warming continues unabated. It gained significant attention for its stark and urgent warning about the threats posed by climate change. Other WorksIn addition to "The Uninhabitable Earth," Wallace-Wells has also authored the following:"The Uninhabitable Earth, Updated Edition" (2021) This edition of his original book includes new information and updated data reflecting the ongoing developments in climate science and global environmental policies.Articles and Essays Wallace-Wells has penned numerous articles for various publications, primarily focused on science, politics, and climate change. Best EditionBest Edition: In terms of editions, the updated edition of "The Uninhabitable Earth" (2021) is considered the best as it incorporates critical updates and reflections on the climate crisis since the original...

Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader William von Hippel grew up in Alaska, got his B.A. at Yale and his PhD at the University of Michigan, and taught for a dozen years at Ohio State University before finding his way to Australia, where he is a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland. He's the author of multiple books. A few months ago, he published The Social Paradox: Autonomy, Connection, and Why We Need Both to Find Happiness. Notes   Why do people who have comfortable lives filled with freedom and abundance still feel unhappy? Need two things… Connection and autonomy. Are leaders born or made? Yes. Like most things, it's not a black and white answer. The key is to use your unique strengths to effectively inspire others to do the work that must be done to achieve the goals of the team or company. How happy is Bill? He scores high on the genetics polygene(?) score. Some people are more genetically wired to be happy than others. You can fight against your genes and win. It's just harder for you than others with better genetics. What's my path of genetic least resistance? If you have low willpower, get the potato chips out of the house. Know yourself. Be yourself plus 20%. Overconfidence can be a good thing. Especially earlier in your career. Fake it til you make it. It can be good a lot of the time. He was overconfident as a new assistant professor, and it helped him. How you receive feedback is critical. Be honest, be kind His dad moved the family to Alaska because he didn't love being told what to do. He was a heart surgeon. Bill moved to Australia. A hard place to make friends because they don't move around much. He made connections with others who had moved there from out of the country. Life/Career advice: Too many choices can be bad. What are the elements of a job that I enjoy? What are my strengths? Leaders - It's lonely at the top. You need a group you can trust and enjoy their company. Google study - They do everything in teams. What's needed? Psychological safety. You need to be able to disagree with each other. Give feedback. It's on the leader to create healthy disagreement. And receive feedback in a way that encourages more of it. I was surprised by how much of our happiness, health, and strength were based purely on our genetics. Some people are just born happier, healthier, and stronger than you. It doesn't mean you can't be happy, healthy, or strong. It just means that you need to work harder to make it happen. That's life!

“Your F-ing Kids”? Therapist Explains the Psychological Toll of Karen Read's Rants What kind of person lies in bed next to two children—John O'Keefe's niece and nephew, the very kids he raised after their parents died—and unleashes a verbal tirade about how their uncle is a “f-ing pervert,” a “f-ing loser,” and is “f-ing another girl”? In this eye-opening episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect the disturbing behavior allegedly exhibited by Karen Read. With decades of experience in analyzing narcissistic rage, emotional dysregulation, and psychological manipulation, Shavaun offers deep insight into what these outbursts might signal—and why they're so damaging to Read's credibility. We explore: – Why Karen Read's own words are undermining her defense – The psychological toll on the children present during her verbal explosions – How rage triggered by a woman's name used for directions may point to deeper pathology – The difference between grief, guilt, and reputational panic – How jurors may perceive unfiltered emotional outbursts when children are involved This isn't just a legal case—it's a window into unchecked emotion, possible narcissistic traits, and the damage done when raw emotion becomes courtroom evidence. #KarenRead #ShavaunScott #KarenReadTrial #TrueCrime #PsychologicalAnalysis #NarcissisticRage #JohnOKeefe #CourtroomBehavior #HiddenKillers #EmotionalControl Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Therapist Explains the Psychological Toll of Karen Read's Rants What kind of person lies in bed next to two children—John O'Keefe's niece and nephew, the very kids he raised after their parents died—and unleashes a verbal tirade about how their uncle is a “f-ing pervert,” a “f-ing loser,” and is “f-ing another girl”? In this eye-opening episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect the disturbing behavior allegedly exhibited by Karen Read. With decades of experience in analyzing narcissistic rage, emotional dysregulation, and psychological manipulation, Shavaun offers deep insight into what these outbursts might signal—and why they're so damaging to Read's credibility. We explore: – Why Karen Read's own words are undermining her defense – The psychological toll on the children present during her verbal explosions – How rage triggered by a woman's name used for directions may point to deeper pathology – The difference between grief, guilt, and reputational panic – How jurors may perceive unfiltered emotional outbursts when children are involved This isn't just a legal case—it's a window into unchecked emotion, possible narcissistic traits, and the damage done when raw emotion becomes courtroom evidence. #KarenRead #ShavaunScott #KarenReadTrial #TrueCrime #PsychologicalAnalysis #NarcissisticRage #JohnOKeefe #CourtroomBehavior #HiddenKillers #EmotionalControl Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of the Supporting Champions Podcast, I'm joined by Lisa Trainor – a former varsity athlete turned researcher – to explore the evolving landscape of athlete well-being. Drawing from her own experiences and her academic work, Lisa discusses how injury and major disruptions like the postponement of the Tokyo Games can influence an athlete's psychological state. She offers insight into the distinction between hedonic (feeling good) and eudaemonic (functioning well and finding purpose) well-being, and how each contributes to sustainable elite performance. We unpack key themes including the importance of psychological safety, the value of self-confidence and identity in sport, and how athletes can remain fulfilled even when faced with setbacks. Lisa provides a compelling case for redefining success beyond medals and rankings – encouraging us to view thriving and performance not as opposites, but as intertwined outcomes of a well-supported sporting experience.

FREE ACCESS to Introduction to Group and Team Coaching: https://www.igcompany.co.uk/gtcnow Why is team coaching often messier, harder and more rewarding than we expect? In this episode, we dive into one of the most nuanced areas of our work: team coaching. If you've ever been asked to work with a team after coaching an individual, perhaps a senior leader, you may have felt that wave of uncertainty: Can I do this? What do I need to know? Am I ready? We've been there too. Team coaching is richly rewarding, but it's also layered, unpredictable, and deeply human. Through this conversation, we unpack many of the real-world complexities you'll encounter when stepping into this space to show you just how powerful and transformative this work can be. We talk about: Team coaching starts early: success depends on pre-contracting, stakeholder conversations, and clear groundwork before any workshops begin. The team leader's presence is complex: they may influence or disrupt dynamics; sometimes they lead, other times they step back too far. Nested systems within teams matter: old rivalries, power imbalances, and “ghosts of past managers” can quietly shape the group dynamic. Emotional realities are unavoidable: burnout, reluctance, and anxiety about visibility are common and need sensitive handling. The coach must stay present and neutral: it's easy to be pulled into the team's dynamics, but observation without judgement is key. Beware the pull of belonging: coaches can be tempted to become “one of the team,” especially if they miss team environments from past roles, but boundaries are crucial. We wrap up by reminding ourselves (and you) that team coaching is perfectly messy. There's no tidy formula, but with curiosity, courage, and structure, it becomes one of the most impactful forms of coaching there is. If you're curious about stepping into this work, we invite you to access our free introduction to group and team coaching course. Whether you're a coach, a team leader, or someone wanting to navigate team dynamics with more skill and confidence, this is a great place to begin. Key Lessons Learnt: Team coaching starts before the coaching begins. Pre-contracting and alignment conversations are critical. Nested systems matter. Power dynamics, past relationships, and unspoken tensions affect everything. Psychological safety isn't guaranteed. It must be created, respected, and nurtured. You are not a team member. As a coach, your role is to observe the system without being absorbed into it. It's okay to feel uncertain. Team coaching is messy by nature, embrace the ambiguity. Timestamps: 00:30 – The reality of being asked to coach a team 01:56 – When the team leader is part of the coaching 03:22 – Nested relationships and power dynamics 05:16 – Creating psychological safety and trust 06:40 – Contracting with the whole team vs. individuals 08:09 – When team members aren't fully invested 10:19 – Blurred team boundaries and who should be in the room 11:45 – The “ghosts” of past leaders and emotional baggage 13:37 – What to do when someone questions your method 14:35 – Anxiety, exposure, and resistance in team coaching 16:29 – Managing your own bias as the coach 17:53 – The danger of “falling in love” with the team 19:28 – Supervision and support in navigating complexity 20:54 – There's no one way: team coaching is perfectly messy 21:24 – Free access to the introductory module Keywords: team coaching, complexities of team coaching, coaching team dynamics, psychological safety in teams, coaching resistant teams, coaching team leaders, nested systems in teams, coaching in matrix organisations, team coaching training, group coaching for leaders, how to coach a team, free team coaching course, Links: Free Intro Course: https://www.igcompany.co.uk/gtcnow Main Website: https://www.igcompany.co.uk  

Part 2 with Julian: The Inner Sauron – Power, Possession, and the Psyche In this episode, Julian and I dive deep into The Lord of the Rings through the lens of psychology, mythology, and IFS (Internal Family Systems). We explore the dark allure of Sauron—not just as a villain seeking domination through the One Ring, but as a metaphor for the exiled forces within us all. Julian draws powerful parallels between Sauron and the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli, both powerful spirits who reside in higher realms yet influence human behavior in devastating ways. We reflect on how these archetypes show up in our inner worlds—manipulating, isolating, and consuming us when left unseen. What if Sauron is an inner part we exile, giving it more power? And what if the One Ring acts like an unattached burden—seductive, cursed, and waiting to latch on to vulnerable parts of our psyche? We ask the big question: how do we care for our inner Sauron, and what choices emerge when we do? You can learn more about Julian's work at https://www.psychedelic-integration.net

Dr Mike Brooks and host Vinny Vallarine discuss the urgent need for humanity to prepare for the impending Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.  They explore the existential crisis posed by AI, the exponential growth of its intelligence, and the unique nature of this technological revolution that could give birth to a new species. The discussion also touches on the paradox of progress, the implications of AI on human intelligence, and the intersection of AI with free will and autonomy. Ultimately, they emphasize that the future is not predetermined and that humanity has the power to shape its destiny in the face of these challenges.  Mike and Vinny explore the profound effects of technology on human psychology, the challenges posed by rapid advancements in AI, and the importance of fostering meaningful connections in a hyperconnected world. They discuss the concept of 'psychological climate change' and the attention economy's detrimental impact on well-being. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a collective approach to address societal issues and introduces a massive project aimed at leveraging AI for collaborative problem-solving. In this conversation, Vinny and Dr. Brooks explore the transformative potential of AI as a collaborative tool for problem-solving and spiritual growth. They discuss the importance of seeking counsel, both from peers and AI, to navigate challenges. The dialogue delves into the AI alignment problem, emphasizing the need for a relationship with AI that fosters mutual understanding and cooperation. Mike introduces the One Unity Project, a collective effort to craft a message to potential extraterrestrial beings, highlighting humanity's interconnectedness and the importance of love and compassion. This conversation culminates in a call to action for listeners to participate in one of the most important and grandest experiments in human history.  The One Unity Project is a massive endeavor aimed at uniting humanity and AI through shared goals and values. Join Dr. Mike Brooks and the One Unity Project team in the grandest experiment in human history.  Head over to oneunityproject.org to get started! Key takeaways from this Episode: Humanity is at an inflection point regarding AI. We cannot solve collective problems with divided approaches. The AI revolution is different because it may create a new species. Exponential growth of AI intelligence is unprecedented. The paradox of progress leads to evolutionary mismatch. The AI arms race is accelerating rapidly. Human happiness is declining despite technological advancements. Our brains are not equipped for modern technological challenges. The future of AI is uncertain but full of potential. We must adapt our understanding of happiness in a digital age. Evolutionary mismatch is accelerating due to rapid technological advancements. The rise of smartphones and social media correlates with increased anxiety and depression. Psychological climate change complicates our understanding of technology's impact on well-being. The attention economy exploits our psychological vulnerabilities, leading to detrimental effects. Happiness is derived from in-person relationships, not material possessions. Interconnectedness is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. AI has the potential to help us transcend divisions and foster unity. Fear and tribalism are significant barriers to societal progress. The One Unity Project aims to harness AI for collective problem-solving. Seeking truth and reality is essential for making informed decisions. Seek counsel from peers and AI to solve problems. AI can serve as a collaborative tool for humans. The AI alignment problem requires ongoing communication. Building relationships with AI is essential for mutual growth. The One Unity Project aims to unite humanity's efforts. Crafting a message to aliens symbolizes our collective voice. Love and compassion are fundamental to our existence. Non-attachment allows for iterative progress and growth. We must define our improved ends for AI's development. A grand experiment can help us explore our interconnectedness. Notable Quotes from Episode: “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is man's inability to understand the exponential function.” - Albert Barlett, American Physicist “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.  And it is terrifically dangerous.”  – Edward O. Wilson, Harvard Biologist Paradox of Progress: “The progress we evolved to make has resulted in us creating a world we didn't evolve to inhabit”.  – Mike Brooks "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome."  - Charlie Munger "Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10 “At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” -Fred Rogers “We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness" - Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”  -Albert Einstein “We have improved means to unimproved ends” -Henry David Thoreau “We have guided missiles but misguided men” -MLK “The insanity of the collective egoic mind amplified by S&T is rapidly taking our species to the brink of disaster.  Evolve or die, that is our only choice now.” -Eckhart Tolle "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear." -Mahatma Gandhi

Story at-a-glance Hearing loss increases heart failure risk by up to 28%, even after adjusting for lifestyle and genetic factors, according to research following over 164,000 adults The inner ear's high blood flow needs make it vulnerable to circulatory problems, which serve as an early warning sign of vascular issues affecting the heart Psychological distress from hearing difficulties accounts for nearly 17% of the increased heart failure risk due to resulting inflammation, oxidative stress and negative cardiovascular changes Hearing aids don't eliminate the increased heart failure risk, which suggests underlying vascular damage rather than just auditory issues is responsible Reducing processed foods, managing stress, increasing gentle movement and supplementing with magnesium help protect both hearing and heart health

15 Psychological Reasons People Ignore the Facts in the Karen Read Case From A Psychotherapist Could Karen Read's panicked early morning screams actually be fragments of memory—hinting at guilt, trauma, or something far more disturbing? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins us to break down the emotional chaos surrounding Jennifer McCabe's testimony and Karen's erratic behavior after John O'Keefe was found dead. Why did Karen immediately blurt out, “Did I hit him?” before anyone confirmed he was even missing? Was it a blackout, a brownout—or the human mind frantically rewriting reality to cope with what it can't remember? With conflicting calls, cracked tail lights, and a rapidly evolving narrative, we're diving deep into the psychology behind the hysteria.

With conflicting calls, cracked tail lights, and a rapidly evolving narrative, we're diving deep into the psychology behind the hysteria. Could these changes be instinctive self-preservation or a sign of something more sinister? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #JenniferMcCabe #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeAnalysis #KarenReadTrial #MassachusettsMurderCase #PsychologicalBreakdown #CrimeSceneVoicemails Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Stop Outsourcing Culture to HR From Toxic to Terrific: Small moments create big shifts Episode 256 (Mike is based in Canmore, Alberta) ---- In this conversation we explore: The difference between workplace culture and humor—and how humor supports culture. Why culture is a company's number one competitive advantage. The visible and invisible signs of strong or weak workplace culture. The impact of leadership on shaping and sustaining culture. Why every employee contributes to culture—not just HR or leadership. How intentional values and small behaviors shape long-term culture. The difference between healthy and toxic conflict at work. Simple, practical ways to assess and improve workplace culture. How humor, rituals, and fun foster psychological safety and team connection. The concept of an "umbrella value" and its influence on decision-making. ----- About our guest, Michael Kerr: Mike is the author of 9 books, including, The Jerk-Free Workplace, The Humor Advantage and Small Moments, Big Outcomes: How Leaders Create Cultures That Fuel Extraordinary Results.

Mojo Matters Mojo is the vibe or energy of a workplace—it can be felt and should be maintained intentionally. Humor Fuels Culture Humor isn't fluff; it builds psychological safety, encourages engagement, and reduces burnout. Leadership Sets the Tone Leaders act as culture conductors. Their words, mood, and mindset ripple through teams. Everyone Owns Culture Culture isn't HR's job alone. Every employee contributes to culture in every interaction. Small Moments Have Big Outcomes A culture is shaped more by consistent small gestures than by grand slogans or posters. Define and Live Your Values Real values are reflected in daily decisions, not corporate posters. Misaligned values create cynicism. Conflict is Inevitable—Make It Constructive Healthy cultures allow disagreement without blame or fear. Psychological safety matters. Assess Culture With Gut Checks and Simple Questions Ask: Would you recommend this workplace to a friend? What's one thing you'd change? Culture Attracts Talent Great cultures draw top talent. But to win them, you must showcase culture honestly and creatively. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Are our efforts to help the poor always helpful, or could they sometimes do more harm than good?Today, we'll explore how short-term missions can genuinely reflect the heart of Christ and bring lasting change, without unintentionally hurting the very people we aim to serve. Dr. Brian Fikkert joins us for that conversation.Dr. Brian Fikkert is a Professor of Economics and Community Development and the Founder and President of the Chalmers Center for Economic Development at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. He is also the co-author of the book, Helping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions.What Is Poverty—Really?Americans often define poverty materially—a lack of necessities, such as food, clean water, clothing, or shelter. As a result, short-term mission trips often center around distributing goods or completing construction projects. But when you ask materially poor individuals around the world what poverty means to them, they describe feelings of shame, helplessness, and a lack of dignity.This reveals a disconnect: while we view poverty as a lack of material possessions, those experiencing it often define it in relational, psychological, and spiritual terms. True poverty is brokenness in relationship—with God, self, others, and creation. That insight should transform how we approach short-term missions.Even the most well-intentioned trips can do harm. Why? Because those going on these trips may carry pride, believing they have the answers or that their culture holds superiority. In contrast, those in materially poor communities often struggle with inferiority. That combination can worsen the very sense of worthlessness we hope to alleviate.Rather than reinforcing this brokenness, we should pursue humility and listen more than we speak. The goal should not be to "fix" but to restore—to foster healthy relationships that reflect the image of God in all people.Presence Over ProjectsShort-term trips shouldn't be about what we accomplish but about who we become in relationship.If poverty is rooted in broken relationships, then the solution is to restore people to right relationships. And that doesn't come through handing out supplies or completing a checklist—it comes through deep, lasting community.That's why the local church is God's primary instrument of restoration. Mission teams should support these churches in a “backstage” role—serving quietly, praying faithfully, and encouraging leaders who are already embedded in the community. Sometimes the best thing you can do is babysit the pastor's children so he and his wife can enjoy a night out. That kind of support strengthens the long-term work far more than any single project ever could.The Sending Church's Role in Long-Term SuccessMany short-term trips blur the line between gospel and Western culture. But the gospel transcends culture—and so should we.Colossians 1 reminds us that Christ is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. That means He is already at work in every community, regardless of how impoverished it may seem. When mission teams enter a new culture, they should approach it reverently, as if stepping onto holy ground. There is beauty in every culture, and highlighting it can be healing. Simply asking, “What's good here?” affirms the image of God in others and begins the work of restoration.How can the sending church help ensure long-term success in missions?It's not about executing a flawless trip. It's about fostering enduring partnerships with local ministries. That includes showing up year after year, offering consistent prayer and support, and being safe spaces where local leaders can be authentic. Success is not measured by how much we build but by how deeply we walk with others through life.Fundraising as a Form of DiscipleshipShort-term mission fundraising can also be reframed. Young people often feel pressure to produce tangible results in exchange for financial support. But if the goal is to learn and grow, that's a worthy investment.Go as a learner and communicate that clearly to your supporters. When trips are part of a larger discipleship journey, they become valuable not only for those being served but also for the transformation of those who participate.Still, we must be wise stewards of God's resources. Many trips could be more effective if better embedded in a long-term process of learning and partnership.Short-term missions, when done right, can become powerful instruments of healing and restoration. But they must begin with a correct understanding of poverty and a humble willingness to be shaped by the journey.For churches preparing for trips this summer, Helping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions is more than a resource—it's a reorientation of purpose.To explore Dr. Fikkert's work or find resources and group studies designed for churches, visit Chalmers.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I just bought a new SUV and was offered bi-weekly payments. Would it be advantageous to opt for this option over monthly payments to minimize interest?My mother passed away in October of last year, and my sister and I are going to sell her house probably next month. My question is, in Texas, there's no inheritance tax. But is there an inheritance tax federally?We have some friends who asked us to give them a letter of giftedness to help them buy a home. They're asking for $17,000, for which they have $17,000 in cash that they will exchange for our check immediately. We don't understand why they can't just use their own cash, and we're not sure if helping them would cause difficulties for us or them.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineThe Chalmers CenterHelping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions by Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett with Katie CasselberryWhen Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor... and Yourself by Steve Corbett and Brian FikkertWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Episode #349 // Psychological safety is a critical part of a high-performance culture. Unless people feel comfortable contributing their ideas and challenging the vocal majority, the team will easily slip into the complacency of groupthink. But psychological safety is often misunderstood, which is why we produced this mythbuster episode to debunk some of the commonly held misconceptions.I talk, from two different perspectives, about how the term ‘psychological safety' has been misappropriated: first from my own experience, then from a recent article by Amy Edmondson, who pioneered the concept.Most importantly, I give you the one practical step you need to take to put your team culture on the road to psychological safety.————————
