The same thoughts that surface when you avoid silence are often the ones quietly controlling your confidence, decisions, and direction. In this episode, I sit down with mindset expert Colin O'Brady to talk about how the thoughts you avoid in silence are often the same ones quietly shaping your decisions, confidence, and direction in life. We dive into why most people fear stillness, how responsibility and fear can disguise themselves as “logic,” and why being uncomfortable is often a sign you're right on the edge of a breakthrough. Get ready to confront your limiting beliefs, reconnect with your intuition, and reset the way you approach big decisions. In This Episode You Will Learn How to identify the LIMITING BELIEFS quietly running your decisions. Why discomfort is often the fastest path to CLARITY and GROWTH. Why being a BEGINNER is not a weakness. How to shift from a fixed mindset to a POSSIBLE mindset. How to STOP living other people's expectations.

Imagine thinking you signed up for a self-improvement course, only to wake up inside a secret hierarchy where starvation, blackmail, and branding were sold as empowerment. This is the story of NXIVM, the so-called leadership program that unraveled into one of the most disturbing criminal enterprises in modern history. In Part 1, we pull back the curtain on how Keith Raniere, a man who called himself "Vanguard," and his partner Nancy Salzman built a multi-million dollar empire on the promise of human potential. We explore the early days of their Executive Success Programs (ESP), the manipulative techniques used to lure in thousands of followers—including celebrities and business leaders—and the slow, deliberate process of indoctrination. How did a group that started with corporate retreats and PowerPoint presentations devolve into a destructive cult? We trace the origins of the abuse, the creation of a master-slave sorority, and the psychological tactics that kept its members loyal, even as the darkness closed in.

Christmas decorations are meant to be cheerful — but some have been anything but. Over the years, certain holiday decorations have turned out to be creepy, hazardous, and even deadly. This episode begins with some of the strangest and most dangerous examples. https://www.epa.gov/radtown/radioactivity-antiques?utm Many classic Christmas songs have surprising backstories. Brenda Lee was only 13 when she recorded Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was tossed in the trash before becoming a holiday staple. Music journalist Annie Zaleski joins me to share these and many other stories. She is author of This Is Christmas, Song by Song: The Stories Behind 100 Holiday Hits (https://amzn.to/3ZomPBn). There's a lot of myth and speculation surrounding The Twelve Days of Christmas. We take a closer look at where the song came from, what it was really about, and how much all those gifts would actually cost if you bought them today. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/12-facts-about-12-days-christmas-180967569/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

The MeidasTouch Podcast returns after a weekend marked by profound tragedy, as we confront a series of devastating events including a shooting targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia, a shooting at Brown University, an ambush of U.S. soldiers in Syria, and the murder of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner. In this episode, we examine Donald Trump's horrific and disgraceful attacks on Reiner in the aftermath of the killing, his reckless blame-shifting in response to the violence at Brown, and his latest lawsuits against the media, which underscore his ongoing war on accountability and the free press. We also provide updates on Europe sounding the alarm against the Trump regime, place these events in their broader global and political context, and break down what they reveal about leadership, responsibility, and the stakes facing democracy right now. Ben, Brett, and Jordy discuss all this and more. Deals from our sponsors! Home Chef: Home Chef is offering 18 FREE Meals PLUS Free Dessert for Life and FREE Shipping on your first box!

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.
#324: If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build a multimillion-dollar brand from scratch — beyond the polished Instagram posts and the "overnight success" stories — this conversation is for you. Today I'm sitting down with Siff Haider, co-founder of Arrae and host of the Dream Bigger podcast, who turned wedding savings into a $100M wellness empire while keeping her sanity, her marriage, and her authenticity intact.Siff gets refreshingly real about the unglamorous early days: bootstrapping, sounding like "two little bitches" on investor calls (her dad's words, not mine), and sweating through her first podcast recording. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her step into her power, why she treats customers like influencers, and how she built a team of 33 people who care as deeply as she does.This episode is for you if:You're building something and terrified of looking cringeYou're trying to figure out when to take funding (and how much)You want to understand how to scale without losing your soulYou're navigating the balance between data and intuition as a founderYou're curious about building a personal brand that's bigger than your businessIf you enjoyed this episode, leave us five stars — I heard that if you rate the show five stars, something lucky happens.

I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation with my hypnotherapist, Kristen Eykel, the woman and the modality that have completely shifted my life. Kristen's story is wild in the best way: she went from being a supermodel in the 80s, living the full sex-drugs-rock-and-roll lifestyle, to becoming a deeply respected healer. And in this episode, she breaks down what hypnotherapy really is… beyond the clichés and way past the “quit smoking” stereotype.We talk about why some of our patterns might come from utero or even a past life and why time isn't as real as we think it is. Kristen shares why she doesn't believe you need plant medicine to access deep healing, and how hypnotherapy can take you to the same inner truths with clarity and safety.We also get into overriding fear, remembering our connectedness, and how to stay centered when the world feels heavy. Kristen explains why some souls choose harder lives, why visualization actually matters, and how to release the emotions we keep stored in our bodies. Plus: parallel realities and why no two people experience this world the same way.It's raw, mind-expanding, and one of the most transformative conversations I've had yet.A word from my sponsors:Kahlua - Find Kahlúa Dunkin Caramel Swirl at retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Total Wine, Albertsons, Kroger, Ralphs, Safeway, BevMo, Publix, and more.

Celebrate our 250th episode with expert strategies that make tough conversations easier — and more meaningful.Some of the most meaningful shifts in how we communicate come from the moments that challenge us the most. In this special 250th episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams reflects on the insights that have shown him how conflict can become a catalyst for clarity, connection, and even compassion. From Amy Gallo's reminder that the “right kind of conflict” leads to better outcomes to Jenn Wynn's framework for calming our nervous system before stepping into a hard conversation and Julia Minson's HEAR method for signaling genuine curiosity, each tool helps turn tension into understanding for every stage of conflict. And with Joseph Grenny's guidance on noticing when our motives shift from problem-solving to winning, this episode highlights how self-awareness can reset even the toughest moments. Whether you're navigating workplace disagreements or everyday friction at home, this milestone episode offers practical ways to make difficult dialogue feel less daunting — and a real opportunity to communicate better.Episode Reference Links:Amy GalloAmy's Book: Getting Along: How to Work With AnyoneEp.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneJenn Wynn Jenn's Podcast: The H.I.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
Are you actually prepared for an emergency—or just surrounded by emergency clutter? In this episode, I take a clear-eyed look at emergency supplies and why so many of us over-prepare for rare, dramatic scenarios while under-preparing for the things most likely to happen. We unpack how common cognitive biases—like the availability heuristic, denominator neglect, and “dread risk”—shape our fear-based stocking habits and quietly lead to clutter, overwhelm, and false security. I walk through five realistic categories of emergency preparedness: 1. Evacuation 2. Getting trapped at home 3. Obscure emergencies 4. Everyday sickness 5. First aid and explain how to pare each one down so it's usable, accessible, and actually helpful when stress is high. If emergency prep has ever felt overwhelming—or like another excuse to hold onto too much—this episode will help you rethink what safety really looks like!

AJ sits down with Matt Ritter, co-host of Man of the Year, to unpack the male loneliness epidemic and why so many men lose friendships as they get older. Matt shares his TCS framework for keeping friendships alive, why proximity and ritual are the real secrets to connection, and how to design a “friendship strategy” that fits your life instead of waiting for it to happen. You'll learn how to move acquaintances into real friends, how to host like a pro without burning out, and why your partner can't (and shouldn't) be your only friend.

Some people crave sweets, while others reach for salty snacks — and it's not just habit. Your flavor preference is shaped by biology and brain chemistry. We begin with a look at what determines whether you're wired for sugar or salt. Source: https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a19931521/why-some-people-have-a-sweet-tooth/ The holidays promise joy but often deliver stress. We push for perfection, try to meet expectations, and forget that the season is really about connection — not flawless decorations or perfect moments. Psychotherapist Niro Feliciano shares some powerful advice for a healthier, calmer holiday season. Niro appears regularly on the TODAY show, writes the “Is This Normal?” column for Today.com, and is the author of All Is Calmish: How to Feel Less Frantic and More Festive During the Holidays (https://amzn.to/48qLdGM). Animals often behave in strange ways — and those quirks almost always trace back to evolution. From dogs and cats to bees and humans, behavior is shaped by survival. David Stipp, former staff reporter at The Wall Street Journal and senior writer at Fortune, explores some of the most surprising evolutionary stories. He's the author of Why Rats Laugh and Jellyfish Sleep: And Other Enchanting Stories of Evolution.(https://amzn.to/4opHQpE) What word comes to mind when you think of an owl? Wise?

This week, Jason is joined by returning guest and one of the most influential leaders in real estate, Ryan Serhant! He is the co-founder and CEO of Serhant, now home to more than 1,500 agents with growth that has doubled year over year. He's built one of the most followed and powerful real estate brands in the world with over 9 million followers across all social media. Most importantly, he is back on Netflix with season two of Owning Manhattan, showing a more competitive, more ambitious and more strategic side as he expands his empire beyond Manhattan in battles in the most cutthroat luxury real estate market in the world. Ryan breaks down the current state of the real estate market and why the way people think about homeownership needs to evolve. He explains which markets remain stronger than ever, how banks are underwriting loans right now, and why it feels like everyone works for the government. Ryan shares his perspective on a potential rent freeze in New York, whether he'd ever consider going into politics, and the surprising parallel between divorce rates and the Fed lowering interest rates. He also unpacks the two largest referral sources in the U.S., why fear is often the only driver of lower prices, and how he approaches building trust in volatile markets. On the creative side, Ryan dives into creating a TV show no one has seen before, valuing the viewer's time, launching a new genre of reality TV with season two of Owning Manhattan, the movie that inspired part of the show's opening, and how Netflix checks compare to Bravo. He closes by sharing how he handles public attacks on his character, the four P's, and why choosing to be an open book has been central to his success. Ryan reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

On a deserted Florida backroad, a passing moment goes unnoticed until it becomes the key to a crime no one saw coming. When a young, pregnant woman is found in a roadside ditch, investigators are left with fragments: a truck in the dark, a web of secrets, and a timeline that refuses to stay quiet. What follows is a slow unraveling where routine turns sinister, and the truth is revealed in a place no one thought to look.

Do you ever wonder if therapy is right for you? Or have you heard someone say, "everyone needs therapy" and questioned if it's really true? My guest today is Joe Nucci, a licensed therapist who challenges some common beliefs about mental health services, therapy, and commonly used terms. He's also the author of Psychobabble. Some of the things we discuss are: Why most people don't actually need therapy The difference between mental health, mental illness, and "problems of living" What therapists actually do and why their work is effective Whether it's okay for a therapist to give you advice How to find a therapist who is a good match for you The concept of "adaptive avoidance" and when it might be better to push feelings down Why therapists can be seen as more like engineers than doctors The things that actually might be more beneficial than therapy Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp. In the first of this two-part episode, we finally go inside Love Has Won with someone who was actually there, and who tried to stop it from the inside out. We talk with Andrew-Ryan Profaci about how a lonely, spiritually curious guy dealing with addiction recovery, job loss, and a rabbit hole of conspiracies became “Father God–adjacent” in a group led by Amy Carlson, a woman who believed she was Mother God, destined to usher Earth into a new 5D age. Andrew walks us through the 10-day slide from chatroom seeker to walking into a trashed Colorado house at dawn, facing a drunk, drooling “deity,” and still deciding to stay because of intense, inexplicable experiences he couldn't ignore. We dig into the daily grind, the alcohol-soaked nights, the Father God proposition, and the mind-bending “quantum hoax” that exposed just how far an insider would go to stay in the group—and with Mother God herself.Be sure to read Andrew-Ryan's book, The War on Love, and follow him on Instagram, Facebook, X, or TikTok.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of alcohol addiction.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.
Dr. Rick and Forrest explore one of the major topics in psychology today: the tension between "mainstream" and "alternative" approaches, and how to understand evidence-based care. Using the recent IFS controversy as a backdrop, they discuss what it means for an approach to be evidence-based, the real-world dangers of inflated claims, and therapy's complex relationship with the medical model. They get into the weeds on study design, effect sizes, insurance, why different approaches may or may not have a large body of evidence, and how to think about the research on “common factors” in therapy. Dr. Rick and Forrest offer a simple framework for making good decisions amidst all of this complexity. Key Topics: 0:00: Introduction: the IFS article 7:27: Psychotherapy as medicine vs. personal growth practices 15:31: “Don't know” mind versus “durrr who knows?” mind 19:50: What counts as evidence? 29:58: What does it mean for a therapy to be evidence-based? 42:38: How do we know therapy works? 53:45: Getting on your own team 59:07: Complexities with the medical model 1:10:24: How insurance and the healthcare system complicate the picture 1:18:27: Dr. Rick's top two takeaways 1:29:05: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

This episode covers a shocking weekend of violence, political hypocrisy, and conservative infighting. We break down the fatal Hanukkah celebration shooting in Australia, the disturbing rise in anti-Jewish attacks, and the media narratives surrounding gun control and immigration. As leaders respond, some messages land very wrong—including Chuck Schumer's tone-deaf statement in the middle of national grief.We also dive deep into the ongoing conservative civil war. Candace Owens goes after Allie Beth Stuckey, Megyn Kelly, Matt Walsh, and Erika Kirk—prompting pushback, fact-checks, and viral responses.

At around 2:15 am on June 7, 1992, 18-year-old Stacy McCall and 19-year-old Suzie Streeter returned to Suzie's home in Springfield, Missouri after a night of graduation celebrations. Suzie's mother, Sherill Levitt, was already inside. Hours later, at 8:00 am, a friend called to finalize their plans for the day, but no one answered. When she went to the house, Stacy, Suzie, and Sherill's cars were all in the driveway, their purses and belongings were inside, and the dog was there - but Sherill, Suzie, and Stacy were gone. Detectives quickly determined they had been abducted. An exhaustive investigation followed, with nonstop media attention. Despite this, no sign of the women was ever found. Thirty-three years later, Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall are still missing, and the question remains: what happened to the Springfield Three? **If you have any information in this case, please call the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810 or Crime Stoppers at 417-869-8477.

Nick Troiano, executive director of Unite America, joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation about why America’s political system feels increasingly broken—and what reforms could actually fix it. Troiano explains how ranked-choice voting and primary reform can weaken the grip of the two-party system, produce more representative outcomes, and give voters in places like Alaska and Louisiana more meaningful choices. They unpack why partisan primaries reward conflict over problem-solving, how safe districts all but decide elections before voters reach the general, and why unaffiliated voters are often locked out of taxpayer-funded contests. The discussion expands to the broader reform landscape, from redistricting and campaign finance to unconventional ideas like compulsory representation and even randomly selected legislatures. Troiano argues that periods of political turmoil and inequality have historically led to democratic breakthroughs—and that today’s moment may demand the same. As power continues to consolidate and parties work to protect their advantage, this episode explores whether structural reform, rather than new personalities, is the only path to a healthier, more functional democracy.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism following a mass shooting that targeted Jews in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah, reflecting on how hatred now crosses traditional political lines and sharing his own family’s experiences. He argues that social media has become a primary accelerant—profiting from outrage, trapping people in media silos, and rewarding the most extreme voices—while insisting that free speech does not guarantee unlimited reach. The conversation widens to the urgent need for tech reform, growing support for restricting smartphones for kids, and public backlash to Donald Trump’s hands-off approach to regulating AI. Chuck also examines Trump’s foreign policy actions, economic excuses, and erosion of constitutional norms, warning that the U.S. is drifting toward “competitive authoritarianism.” Despite the dangers of normalization and resignation, the episode closes with a reminder that America still has the capacity to push back and reclaim democratic guardrails. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the political and cultural impact of The Simpsons, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and recaps the latest in college football.
