In this episode, Trisha and I answer a listener's question about emotional eating and why we sometimes turn to food for comfort. She shares how, when she's feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or upset, food can sometimes become a way of coping.

When you're hungry, you know you're more interested in food. But hunger also changes the way you think—and the effects can spill over into decisions that have nothing to do with eating. Researchers have discovered some surprising consequences of making important choices on an empty stomach. https://www.dundee.ac.uk/press-release/dont-make-major-decisions-empty-stomach-research-suggests Finding cheap airfare has become almost a game. People swear by booking on Tuesdays, searching in incognito mode, or buying tickets at a certain time of day. But how much of that actually works? The truth is that airline pricing is driven by a surprisingly complex system—and once you understand what really causes fares to rise and fall, you can dramatically improve your odds of paying less. Here with an insider's look at how airfare pricing really works is Scott Keyes, founder of Going.com (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights), which tracks airfare deals for more than two million travelers worldwide. Listening to this conversation will save you money. People say they're "burned out" all the time. But are they really? According to the official definition, true burnout is far less common than most people think. In fact, many people who believe they're burned out are actually dealing with something very different—and treating the wrong problem only makes things worse. Psychotherapist and mental strength expert Amy Morin explains how to tell the difference, what burnout really looks like, and the practical steps that can help you regain your energy. Amy hosts the award-winning Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin podcast (https://amymorinlcsw.com/podcasts/), her TEDx Talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFbv757kup4) has been viewed more than 25 million times, and she is author of The Mental Strength Playbook. (https://amzn.to/4yG8yR5). Waiting in line, sitting on hold, or watching the spinning wheel on your computer can feel maddening. But here's the interesting part: it's often not the wait itself that frustrates us. What really gets under our skin is something else entirely. Once you understand why waiting feels so unpleasant, you'll discover a few surprisingly simple ways to make almost any wait seem much shorter and more tolerable. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/dec/15/i-waited-45-minutes-to-buy-a-single-croissant-in-fitzroy-why-do-humans-queue PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AIR DOCTOR: Head to https://AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code SYSK to get $250 off select AirDoctor air purifiers, including the 3500, 4000, and 5500 models.

If you've ever wondered how a family goes from talking every week to not talking at all, this conversation is for you. Matthias Barker and I unpack why estrangement rarely happens because of one big moment—it usually comes after years of small moments that were never addressed. We talk about what parents often miss, what adult children wish their parents understood, and why the fastest way to push someone further away is to defend your intentions instead of trying to understand their experience.

Know what it's like to feel like you don't fit into any box? And silently suffer while second-guessing yourself in a workplace where you're one of the extreme few?  Yep, me too. In this episode, I'm talking with psychotherapist Steve Alexander, Jr., a first-gen, Black, sensitive human who left a “safe” corporate job in risk management to become a healer for folks who, like me, feel too complex, too emotional, or too different for the spaces they're in. We unpack what happens when you've tied your identity and self-worth to a job that was never designed with you in mind, and how to reclaim a sense of self that isn't dependent on a title, paycheck, or corporate hierarchy. We also talk about the very real gap between how walking into spaces feel for the “male and pale” default versus those of us who are marginalized, and why naming that difference is a powerful first step toward healing, agency, and change.What You'll Learn: What it's like to leave a “safe” corporate job when you're first-gen and carrying family expectations about money, success, and stability.How tying your identity and self-worth to your job—especially in environments not built for you—can fuel depression, burnout, and feeling “not enough.”Why postpartum mental health matters for both mom and dad, and how anger, anxiety, and loss of autonomy can show up differently from the stereotypical picture of depression.How being Black, first-gen, and highly sensitive in predominantly white, male spaces shapes the way you see yourself, your power, and what feels “allowed” for you.What becomes possible when you stop trying to fit into any one box and start building a life, career, and identity that actually reflect your full, complex self.What Steve's group practice, New York Wellness Counseling Services, offers first-gen, third-culture, and “don't-fit-in-a-box” clients—through trauma-informed therapy (including EMDR) for people navigating multiple identities in New York and New Jersey.How Jamie's work as an executive coach for professional women and entrepreneurs helps clients make more money, build confidence, and negotiate for the roles and recognition they wantFeaturedLearn more about Steve Alexander's NY Wellness Counseling Services, a virtual group therapy practice serving clients across New York and New Jersey: https://www.nywellness.com⁠Connect with Steve on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevealexanderjr/⁠Follow Steve on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenywellnessLearn more about Jamie's 1:1 coaching practice: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/about Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Follow Jamie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieleecoach/Text me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show? Don't miss an episode, listen and subscribe via Apple Podcasts or Spotify.  Leave me a review in Apple Podcasts. Connect with meBook a free hour-long consultation with me.

In this episode, Trisha and I answer two thoughtful listener questions that so many women will relate to. The first is about perfectionism and the pressure to get everything right. If you've ever felt like giving up because you couldn't do something perfectly, you're not alone. We explore why this mindset can keep us stuck and how we can begin to be kinder to ourselves. The second question looks at the balance between self-discipline and self-compassion. How do we know when to push ourselves and when it's ok to rest? It can be difficult to tell the difference, especially when guilt gets involved. As always, Trisha McHale brings her psychotherapist's perspective to the conversation, helping us look beneath the surface of these common struggles.

In this episode, returning guest Allison Beck, a psychotherapist and parent coach specializing in reproductive psychology and anxiety, joins us to discuss the powerful concept of how "doing less is more". In an era dominated by an abundance of conflicting social media advice, the parenting pendulum has swung toward an exhausting state of over-parenting. Allison explains how this constant pressure to manage, fix, and perfectly execute every interaction can actually block the essential experiences and manageable doses of discomfort that children need for healthy development.The conversation dives deep into the psychology of childhood anxiety and a phenomenon Allison calls "yellow lighting". She explains how well-intentioned parents often inadvertently speed up or escalate a child's emotional distress by either over-demanding or over-accommodating their feelings. Instead of swooping in to fix the problem, the most effective strategy, recognized as a gold standard for treating childhood anxiety and OCD, is to offer a brief supportive statement and then literally do less. Allison also emphasizes the crucial difference between parental agency and control, reminding listeners that parenting behaviors cannot completely override a child's genetics or natural development.Finally, Allison unpacks the practical steps parents can take to sit with their own discomfort and regulate their nervous systems. She highly recommends meditation as a tool to build the neurological skill of observing without reacting, which directly translates to calmer, more flexible parenting. By redefining what it means to be a "good parent", and accepting that calmly and accurately responding to your child's needs just 20 to 30 percent of the time is a massive success, parents can finally let go of perfectionism. Tune in to learn how to parent more intuitively and find out more about Allison's one-on-one coaching and therapy offerings.Allison has served as an advisor and written contributor on perinatal mental health, child development and parenting for various professional service providers and organizations. She received a BS in Human Development with a dual concentration in Early Childhood and Adolescence from Cornell University and an MSW from NYU. Allison has been supporting individuals and families as a Psychotherapist and Parent Coach in NYC agencies, hospitals, and in private practice for over a decade.Connect with Allison: allisonbeck.com@_allisonbeckCheck out her past episode here: “Tackling Anxiety & Depression: One Thought At A Time”Click here and use your exclusive 20% listener discount (Code: Fit20) to enroll in Master Your Pelvic Floor, our signature self-paced course that will change the way you understand and care for your body.

Air Date - 22 July 2026Join Host Marc Lainhart – The Intuitive Prospector™ this Wisdom Wednesday as Marc welcomes pioneering Psychotherapist and Cancer Survivor, Ms. Heather A. Lee, who will help fill a critical gap in the national conversation on Psychedelic healing. At a moment when psychedelic medicine is moving from the margins to the mainstream, debated in Congress, studied at Johns Hopkins University and NYU, and embraced by a growing number of clinicians, one important voice emerges from the national conversation: women's. In her new book, Heather shares powerful stories of women's transformation through psychedelic healing.

Send us Fan MailDr. Steven Segal is a psychologist, philosophical counsellor, and leadership coach. He is a former Associate Professor at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management and has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, leadership, and organisational life. His work explores how individuals and communities respond to uncertainty, disruption, and existential threats—those moments when people experience a loss of meaning, belonging, identity, or a sense of being at home in the world. Through his therapy, counselling, coaching, teaching, and writing, he helps individuals and organisations navigate complexity, anxiety, and change while remaining connected to what matters most.His most recent book is Mandela's Leadership Legacy: Emotional and Existential Wisdom. The book was written as a kind of conversation between Martin Heidegger's existential philosophy and Mandela's way of being a leader. It used Heidegger to shed light on Mandela's existential journey and used Mandela to provide an accessible introduction to the philosophy of Heidegger.A Couple Quotes From This Episode"Mandela wasn't the kind of motivational speaker who gets people hyped up. His style was much more thoughtful in the sense of working through emotion.""Dialogue across difference, it gets to your identity. And when our identity feels a bit threatened, we tend to become reactive rather than listening. Mandela was able to listen when there were threats to his identity."ResourcesBook: Business Feel: From the Science of Management to the Philosophy of LeadershipPhilosophical Reflections and Insights for Psychologists and Psychotherapists (forthcoming)Website - Dr. Steven SegalAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.

Psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert joins Morning Wire to discuss his new book “Therapy Nation” and his concerns about the rise of what he calls “therapy culture.” Alpert explains why he believes some forms of long-term, venting-focused therapy fail to help patients improve, how political polarization has entered mental health spaces, and why he says therapists should focus on helping people build resilience rather than reinforcing division.

Sophia and Jessica explore what to do when teens refuse therapy, including brainstorming alternative supports.  Sophia emphasizes boundaries around teen therapy, not over-involving parents or grilling teens afterward, and highlights listening, collaboration, preventive approaches, and not avoiding difficult topics like substance use and sexual health to build trust and safety.

The 30-Minute CEO Meeting That Clears Business Decisions

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer two powerful listener questions that so many women will relate to. The first question comes from a listener who wants to stop drinking but feels stuck in the same evening routine. She knows she'll feel better without alcohol, yet the thought of a glass of wine after a long day is hard to resist. If you've ever wondered why willpower isn't enough or why evenings can feel incomplete without a drink, this conversation is for you. The second question is about self-belief. It's about looking confident on the outside while feeling overwhelmed and not enough on the inside. We explore why so many women hold themselves back, fear putting themselves out there, and struggle to see themselves the way others do. As always, Trisha McHale shares her psychotherapist perspective, helping us understand what's really going on beneath these struggles and how small shifts in awareness can lead to lasting change. Whether you're trying to break a habit, build confidence, or simply understand yourself a little better, we hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged, understood, and ready to take the next step.

How can we find our own direction and purpose in a world of endless possibilities? When life feels too much, is it possible to free ourselves from the concerns that weigh us down? Psychotherapist and psychologist Emmy van Deurzen looks to philosophy to offer a guide to the everyday challenges of living, providing a lifeline for rebuilding trust in the world through existentialism. In this illuminating conversation, Emmy will invite you to step back and discover what really matters. By considering each of the four key aspects of our experience: physical, social, personal and spiritual, Emmy will reveal that freedom starts when you decide to cease letting your life be a thoughtless accident. Harnessing over fifty years' experience in psychology and philosophy, Emmy will show us how to deal with dilemmas and difficulties of every kind, so that even when survival takes all you have, you can rekindle confidence in your own abilities and revitalise your capacity to relate to others.

Are you actually healing, or are you just addicted to the idea of fixing yourself? Welcome back to Season 4 of Let's Not Sugar Coat It!About the Episode: In this unfiltered season premiere, Bella and Lee sit down with Kirsten Davidson, a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Mind the Gap Psychotherapy. We are diving deep into the uncomfortable truths that mainstream self-help completely glosses over.Kirsten breaks down why traditional mental health diagnoses can sometimes keep us trapped in boxes, how talk therapy can accidentally become a loop to justify staying the same, and the hidden danger of the "strong, independent" identity that leads to emotional numbing. If you're tired of surface-level advice and want to understand how to actually move the needle in your marriage, your trauma recovery, and your self-awareness—this episode is for you."Therapy isn't about becoming this perfect version of yourself. It's about unbecoming all the things you are not." — Kirsten Davidson

Today, I am talking to Liz Bentley, psychotherapist, writer, comedian, poet and performer. Liz has recently released her brand NEW memoir; The Suicidal Therapist, Confessions of a Wounded Healer on Survivors Voices Press. This is her heartfelt and authentic story, diving into some of the aspects of mental health that we often don't talk about. Liz sought therapy in her early twenties, whilst dealing with problems with bulimia, intimate relationships, drugs, grief and being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She talks candidly about these subjects in her book. Liz has worked extensively for over thirty-four years as a psychotherapist, supervisor and facilitator in the NHS, Goldsmiths College, Lewisham College (in London) and private practice. Liz has performed with her comedy poetry at The Poetry Cafe, London Literature Festival, Leicester Square Theatre, Edinburgh Festival, The Ivy House and many other festivals and venues.

Looking for ADHD support this summer? My entire 'ADHD Women's Wellbeing Series' is on offer this July. Head here to learn more about the workshops and use code JULY to get 35% off.Some of the deepest childhood wounds don't come from parents who shouted or hurt us. Sometimes they come from parents who simply never had the tools to truly see us.On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Sian Crossley, a London-trained psychotherapist, author and the founder of Break the Cycle Coaching.With a background in both private practice and the NHS, Sian specialises in helping adults understand and heal from the lasting impact of emotionally immature parenting. Through her writing, courses and online community, she helps thoughtful, self-aware people untangle patterns like people pleasing, self-doubt and over-responsibility, so they can build healthier boundaries and more authentic relationships. She's the author of How to Heal from Emotionally Immature Parents, and now lives in Malaysia with her two young children, working with clients and audiences around the world.In this episode, Sian and I talk about what emotionally immature parenting actually looks like, even in a childhood where all the practical boxes were ticked. We explore why feeling unseen can leave a lasting impact, how undiagnosed neurodivergence in a parent's generation often went unnamed and unsupported, and why grief and acceptance matter more than forgiveness when it comes to healing. Sian also shares the foundations of emotionally mature parenting, and how small, consistent changes, like simply asking a child how they feel, can start to break old patterns without anyone needing to be perfect.In this episode, we cover:What emotionally immature parenting really looks like, even in a "good enough" childhoodThe difference between big T and little T traumaHow undiagnosed neurodivergence in parents shapes the way love and connection are shownParentification, and what it means when a child becomes their parent's emotional supportWhy grief and acceptance matter more than forgiveness when healing childhood traumaThe "and, not but" technique for holding two truths about a parent at onceWhy childhood memories can feel fragmented after emotional neglectBreaking generational cycles without overcorrecting as a parentThe four foundations of emotionally mature parenting: regulation, self-awareness, empathy and boundariesWhy asking a child how something made them feel can change everythingTimestamps:00:00 - Welcome, and introducing Sian Crossley and her book02:40 - What emotionally immature parenting actually looks like05:03 - Why feeling unseen can matter more than what was provided practically06:15 - Parentification and becoming a parent's emotional support07:51 - Kate's own story: a late ADHD diagnosis and family patterns11:34 - Where healing actually begins14:48 - Why too much empathy for parents can get in the way of healing17:16 - Breaking the cycle without overcorrecting as a parent22:41 - Why fragmented childhood memories are so common25:23 - Grief, acceptance and why forgiveness isn't the goal34:03 - The "and, not but" technique for holding two truths39:05 - The four foundations of emotionally mature parenting45:04 - How to work with Sian

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I should be over this by now"? Maybe an old fear or insecurity shows up, and instead of just feeling it, you feel bad about feeling that way. Most of us were taught that hard feelings — shame, envy, anger, boredom — are problems to be solved or character flaws to fix. And when they don't go away, we pile on a second layer of distress. But my guest today says that's exactly where we go wrong. The goal isn't to get rid of hard feelings. It's to get more curious about them. My guest is Daniel Smith, a writer turned therapist whose new book is called Hard Feelings. Some of the things we discuss are: Why hard feelings aren't problems to solve — and what happens when you stop trying to optimize them away Why shame is the master uncomfortable emotion, and how it often gets passed down through families in silence The trap of asking "why do I feel this way?" — and the better question that actually helps Why decades of personal work doesn't make old anxieties disappear The hidden cost of the positivity industry — and how well-meaning advice can become unintentionally shaming What boredom, envy, and even anger are trying to teach you if you're willing to listen The difference between sitting with a feeling and needing to shift one — and how to know which moment calls for which The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for getting curious about hard feelings starting today Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 224 - 8 Myths About Feelings That Can Sabotage Your Emotional Intelligence ⁠148 — How to Take Charge of Your Feelings Links & Resources Hard Feelings Connect with the Show Buy a copy of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors Helix Sleep —Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠helixsleep.com/STRONGER⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get 20% off sitewide   AirDoctor — Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AirDoctorPro.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and use promo code STRONGER to get UP TO $300 off today!

You set the goal: get the weight off before the long weekend, before the conference, before you see those people again. And you're great at it… for a couple weeks. Then you get sick, or your kid gets sick, or you have a week from hell — and one off day turns into "well, I blew it, I'm done." In this episode I sit down with registered psychotherapist Brian Baumal to talk about why that keeps happening, and why it has almost nothing to do with willpower. We get into the quiet shame hiding underneath the rush, why slowing way down actually works better, and a surprisingly simple place to start that has nothing to do with changing what you eat. If you've ever thought "it's just a fact that I always fail at this" — this one's for you.  You can find Brian at alivapsychotherapy.com.  

— Many people today are exhausted—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We move through our days carrying stress, anxiety, old wounds, endless responsibilities, and the quiet feeling that somewhere along the way we lost touch with our vitality, our creativity, and perhaps even ourselves. But what if exhaustion is not simply a lack of energy? What if it is a signal inviting us to reconnect with something deeper—our passions, our intuition, our authentic nature, and the creative spirit that exists within each of us? Today, we'll explore what it truly means to love your life—not because everything is perfect, but because you have learned to embrace yourself fully, listen to your inner wisdom, and live in alignment with who you really are. We'll talk about emotional healing, resilience, creativity, intuition, and the surprising ways that self-expression can help us access parts of ourselves that words alone often cannot reach. We'll also explore how following our passions, trusting our hearts, and becoming more present to our inner experience can lead to greater vitality, purpose, and joy. At its core, this conversation is an invitation to move beyond merely surviving and begin thriving—to reconnect with the energy, creativity, and aliveness that have been within you all along.

Want to work with Muscle Intelligence?  Apply Now Most men try to out-discipline their emotions and wonder why they still snap, freeze, or stew at the worst possible moment. Donald Robertson, the cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist who wrote the book on thinking like a Roman emperor, has spent three decades proving there's a better operating system. Drawing on the same Stoic playbook that ran an empire, he and Ben discuss why composure isn't suppression, why the calmest man in the room is almost never the one trying hardest to stay calm, and where the real leverage hides inside every reaction you have. The edge, it turns out, lives in a gap most people never notice… the split second between what happens to you and what you make it mean. Robertson breaks down the two-phase machinery behind anger and anxiety, the reason your meditation practice keeps failing you the moment you actually need it, and the counterintuitive move Marcus Aurelius used to command loyalty when his own generals turned against him. If you've built the career, the body, and the bank account and still get hijacked by your own nervous system, this is the conversation that explains why — and what the most self-possessed men in history did about it. 5 Key Takeaways Why every emotion arrives in two phases and why elite composure is decided entirely in the second one The reason willpower backfires, and what Stoics trained instead Why your meditation and journaling don't transfer to high-pressure moments (and the fix) The leadership move that made Marcus Aurelius untouchable even during a civil war How to model real composure for your kids without pretending to be perfect Chapters 0:00 Meeting Donald Robertson 4:30 From Therapy to Stoicism 7:47 Virtue As the Only True Good 10:14 Why Success Can Feel Empty 14:25 Why Meditation Leaves You Exposed 16:00 The Pause Before You React 22:21 Why Only Three Stoics Survived 27:16 Marcus Aurelius: Power and War 38:08 How an Emperor Truly Led 45:44 Stoicism in the Therapy Room 50:49 Is Anything Really "Bad"? 55:13 The Socratic Test of Success 1:00:41 A Lightning Tour of Philosophy 1:09:42 Modeling Wisdom for Your Kids 1:16:00 The Two Phases of Emotion 1:21:50 Why Studying Stoicism from Soundbites Fail You 1:29:01 Where to Find Donald Connect with Donald Substack – https://donaldrobertson.substack.com Website – https://donaldrobertson.name

 A thousand people called 911 because they believed Jesse Ridgway was in danger. He'd staged family violence on YouTube for four years. When the truth came out, he said he "never lied." He didn't apologize to a single caller. He felt nothing but satisfaction that his show was working.That was a decade ago. The pattern has only escalated. A creator platform called StoryFire that burned through a million users before being sold as an NFT. His wife went through a medical procedure she described as the worst experience of her life — within 48 hours Jesse was on national television. She was home recovering. He was on his fourth camera in five days. A pregnancy announcement that may or may not be real. Each stunt darker than the last. Each one requiring a bigger audience reaction to produce the same result.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent more than thirty years in forensic mental health and clinical practice. She examines the behavioral pattern across twenty years of documented evidence and identifies what's actually operating underneath Jesse Ridgway's public persona. The escalation pattern mirrors what researchers have documented in narcissism and social media addiction — the dopamine feedback loop that functions on the same neural pathways as substance dependence. Same tolerance curve. Same withdrawal symptoms. Same inability to stop even when the behavior is causing measurable harm.Scott addresses whether the money or the attention is the primary driver — and whether they've become indistinguishable at this point. Whether anyone in Jesse's private life can compete with the validation four million subscribers provide. What the role of TMZ and news outlets is in feeding the cycle by treating staged events as legitimate news. And the question at the center of twenty years of evidence: is this a person who chooses to manipulate, or is this a compulsion that two decades of reinforcement have locked into a structure that can't be turned off?If the formula became the person — can the person ever come back?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Anxiety, brain fog, jaw clenching, digestive issues, fatigue, and feeling constantly overwhelmed aren't random,...they can all be signs that your body is stuck in survival mode. Healing starts with awareness, not perfection. Whether it's recognizing the thoughts driving your stress, understanding the emotions stored in your body, or learning to listen to your symptoms differently, every healer on this panel agreed that lasting healing begins by paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you. The most powerful healing tools are often the simplest. From EMDR and nervous system regulation techniques to acupressure points and breathwork, this conversation proves that helping your body feel safe doesn't always require expensive treatments—sometimes small daily practices can create the biggest shifts.
