Dave rings in New Year's Eve with a raw, reflective Wednesday dose amid a “rough fucking week” on the home front, admitting family struggles (including Linda's dad's health) have him questioning whether to keep the grueling Five Days of Dopey schedule into 2026 while teasing resolutions like restarting the infamous Dopey Fitness Challenge, daily writing, and maybe even Tai Chi to save his creaky joints. He reads a heartfelt email from old-timer Craig begging him to go full-throttle for the community's sake, then drops the full replay of his recent guest spot on the hippie Yellow Balloon podcast One Show at a Time—a rapid-fire qualification packed with childhood staph infections, codependency as his first “drug,” heroin-fueled career crashes, supervised visitation shame, and the desperate AA surrender that finally stuck at 41. The share ends with an avalanche of love from the Zoom crowd (random cameos from Ivan Neville and Anders Osborne included), leaving Dave both embarrassed and deeply grateful as he closes out 2025 counting blessings, overeating brookies with Susan at Patchogue's early ball drop, and reminding the Nation: if you're struggling tonight, reach out—tomorrow's a new day. All that and more on this weeks collab show with the one show at a time podcast!

With the holidays in full swing and the New Year just around the corner, we're reflecting on all the great times we've had in 2025. Kick back and enjoy these highlights from the past year as we take a little winter break!

Healing from covert narcissistic abuse doesn't follow a calendar—and January doesn't require clarity, decisions, or resolutions. If you're entering the new year feeling foggy, heavy, or unsure, this episode is for you. Instead of pushing urgency, motivation, or “fresh starts,” this conversation offers something survivors of covert narcissism actually need: orientation, safety, and permission to go slowly. In this New Year's Day episode, we explore why January can feel more like an aftermath than a beginning, especially if you're still in the relationship, newly out, or years removed but still impacted. We talk about what covert narcissistic abuse does to your nervous system, why information alone isn't enough, and how healing often shows up quietly—not dramatically. This episode also introduces how the podcast will function as a guided path this year, with grounding Sunday episodes and more connective Thursday conversations, including community chats. In this episode, we cover: Why January pressure can be harmful for survivors How covert narcissism disrupts self-trust and internal orientation Why healing doesn't require decisions or urgency Signs of healing that are often overlooked What to expect from the podcast moving forward How community and shared language support recovery You are not behind. You are not doing this wrong. And you don't have to decide anything yet.

Worksheet: Healing Power of ConnectionAsk people what the hardest part of addiction was, and they often won't say the drugs or the alcohol. They'll say the loneliness. Because addiction, at its core, is about isolation and shame. It's that crushing feeling of being in a crowded room and feeling completely invisible. It's the belief that if people really knew you—the real you with all your secrets and shame—they would run away.But what if the medicine for that loneliness isn't just sobriety? What if the medicine is people?In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Osterlind and Eric Osterlind explore what they believe is the single most powerful predictor of long-term recovery success: connection. Not willpower. Not perfect meetings attendance. But belonging to a tribe, a community, a place where you're not alone.Addiction demands secrecy. It thrives in the dark. Over time, you stop answering the phone, you stop going to events. You isolate to protect the addiction, but you end up trapping yourself with your own worst thoughts. And even in recovery, that instinct to hide can still linger. You might feel like a burden, or you might think, "I can do this on my own. I don't need help." But that's a dangerous lie. When shame says "I am bad" and isolation says "I am alone," relapse becomes almost inevitable.The vicious cycle works like this: we isolate ourselves because we feel shame, and then that isolation breeds more shame. Breaking that cycle requires doing the one thing that feels most unnatural—reaching out. As journalist Johan Hari famously summarized from his research, "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection." But shame tells us we're not worthy of that connection, so we don't risk it.The evidence is overwhelming. Whether it's AA, NA, SMART Recovery, or group therapy, the data shows that people who engage in supportive community have significantly better outcomes than those who try to go it alone. It's not just about having people around you—it's about shared experience. When you walk into a room and hear someone tell your story, there's a profound shift. The shame starts to evaporate because you realize: "I'm not the only one. I'm not crazy, bad, or sick. I'm not alone."Group settings provide a buffer against stress. When we're with safe people, our nervous system can actually co-regulate. We feel safer physically and emotionally. The community provides accountability—someone to notice if you're struggling. It provides encouragement—someone to cheer when you win. And perhaps most importantly, we borrow their hope until we can rebuild our own. We lean on their energy when ours runs out.But finding community can feel overwhelming, especially if you have social anxiety or fear of judgment. That's why Duane and Eric break it down into two simple, manageable steps you can take this week.Step one: Identify just one potential connection point. This could be looking up an online meeting and putting it in your calendar. It could be texting one friend and saying, "Hey, can we grab coffee?" Or maybe it's looking for a sober hiking group or book club. Just find one place where healthy people are gathering that interests you.Step two: Practice active listening in one conversation. Connection is a two-way street, but sometimes we're so anxious about what we're going to say that we forget to listen. This week, in just one conversation, put down your phone, look someone in the eye, and listen to understand—not to reply. Reflect back what you heard: "It sounds like you had a really tough day." This simple act builds instant intimacy and trust.Remember, by participating in community, you aren't just getting help—you're giving it. Your presence helps someone else feel less alone, and that can be a powerful engine for your own self-worth and shame resilience.You don't have to do this alone. Reach out, connect, and let the healing begin.Key Topics• The isolation trap of addiction: How addiction thrives in secrecy and loneliness, making connection the true antidote to recovery• Shame as a barrier to connection: Understanding why shame tells us we're not worthy and keeps us from reaching out for help• The opposite of addiction is connection: Johan Hari's powerful research showing community as the single most powerful predictor of recovery success• Co-regulation in community: How being with safe people allows our nervous systems to calm down and feel safer physically and emotionally• Two actionable steps for building connection: Identifying one connection point and practicing active listening this week• From lone wolf to pack member: Moving from vulnerable isolation to being part of a supportive network that protects and sustains you• The gift of giving back: How your presence in community helps others feel less alone and builds your own sense of purposeTimestamps[00:01:30] - The stark reality: The hardest part of addiction isn't the substances—it's the crushing loneliness[00:03:00] - The vicious cycle: How shame and isolation feed each other and make relapse almost inevitable[00:05:00] - Johan Hari's breakthrough insight: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety—the opposite is connection"[00:06:30] - The profound shift: What happens when you hear someone tell your story in a room full of people[00:07:00] - Co-regulation explained: How safe people help calm our nervous system when we can't do it alone[00:08:00] - Actionable Step #1: Identifying one potential connection point you can take this week[00:10:00] - Actionable Step #2: Practicing active listening to build instant intimacy and trustSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 2853: Jenny Lee explores the silent crisis many mothers face: the erasure of personal identity under the weight of parenthood. By reframing burnout not as a failure but as a signal to reinvest in what makes you, you, she offers tangible steps to reclaim your sense of self, starting with self-care and extending into rediscovery, compromise, and purpose. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.hellobrio.com/blog/burnout Quotes to ponder: "It's not okay for us to say, 'It's tough, and I think I made a huge mistake becoming a parent.'" "Self-care should be your baseline: Get your full night's sleep, and exercise regularly." "In rediscovering your sense of identity, you will be a better mother. A better employee. A happier, more well-rounded person." Episode references: Untamed by Glennon Doyle: https://www.amazon.com/Untamed-Glennon-Doyle/dp/1984801252

Join Mostly Dry January-The Daily!In this New Year's Day episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores why January 1 feels so powerful psychologically and why that feeling so often fades. Drawing on neuroscience, mindset research, and behavioral science, she explains the difference between the Fresh Start Effect and the myth that our brains reset overnight.Using research from behavioral scientist Katy Milkman, Molly breaks down why temporal landmarks like January 1 increase motivation, how dopamine fuels anticipation, and why habits do not change through symbolism or intention alone. She explains what actually drives sustainable behavior change and how identity, repetition, and environment shape the brain over time.This episode reframes January not as a moment of reinvention, but as an opportunity to continue building momentum with clarity and compassion.What You'll LearnWhy January 1 feels emotionally different from other daysWhat the Fresh Start Effect is and why it works as a motivatorHow dopamine drives anticipation rather than follow throughWhy the brain does not reset habits or patterns overnightThe role of the basal ganglia in habit formationHow identity based change can either support or sabotage progressWhy self rejection increases all or nothing thinkingWhat works better than willpower for sustainable behavior changeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect and temporal landmarksDopamine and anticipation versus long term habit wiringNeural efficiency and why the brain prefers familiar patternsIdentity based behavior change and evidence gatheringIteration over intensity for neuroplasticityEnvironment over willpower as a driver of consistencyPractical Reframes from the EpisodeShift from starting over to continuing forwardFocus on strengthening what already existsThink aligned habits instead of new habitsUse January as an informative month rather than a performanceBuild identity through small repeated actionsReduce friction instead of relying on motivationResearch and References MentionedKaty Milkman's research on the Fresh Start EffectHow to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to BeNeuroscience research on the basal ganglia and habit loopsIdentity based behavior change research in psychologyRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Illusion of Starting Over in Habit ChangeConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardDefensive Pessimism ★ Support this podcast ★

Breaking 30 minutes in the 5K isn't about trying harder; it's about finally training the right engine.In this episode, I break down exactly why the common three-day training plan often fails the biology of a 5K and how shifting your schedule unlocks the specific aerobic engine required for speed. I walk you through the exact physiological systems you need to target, the specific pacing strategy that prevents the dreaded mid-race burnout, and the essential strength moves that keep you healthy enough to finally crush your goal time.Key TakeawaysA sub-30 5K is mostly an aerobic challenge, and building the right engine matters more than just pushing harder.Switching from three days of running to a four-day structure changes everything because it finally creates the volume and balance needed for real progress.Clear pacing, smart workouts, and simple recovery habits work together to prevent blow-ups and help you stay strong through the final third of the race.Timestamps[00:43] What You'll Learn[01:42] The Problem: Why You're Stuck at 30:15[03:59] The Training Split That Actually Works[06:57] Sample Four-Day Sub 30 Min 5k Training Week[08:14] Get the Free Training Plan[09:08] Run Training — VO2 Max, Speed Intervals, Threshold Work Long Run[10:37] VO2 Max Work[13:44] Lactate Threshold Work[14:53] Long Run[15:32] Race Pacing Strategy: The Game Plan[19:32] Do This to Help Another Runner Go Sub 30 Minutes[19:54] 5 Best Bodyweight Strength Exercises for Runners[23:16] Recovery and Nutrition Hydration[25:37] Mental/Belief Shift: Why Sub-30 Is Actually Possible[26:38] Use This to Fix Your Run FormLinks & Learnings

In this episode, I break down how to set yourself up for real health and fitness success in 2026. I explain why most New Year's goals fail, how to create realistic fitness and nutrition goals, and why structure, consistency, and accountability matter far more than willpower. You'll learn how to track progress properly, optimise your environment, and build habits that actually last beyond January. 

Send us a textA New Year countdown is louder when someone says, “This is my last drink.” We start there—no slogans, no gloss—just the raw tension between a promise and the pull of old habits. From the first coffee-fueled minutes to the closing safety reminder, we sit with what real change demands: structure that doesn't wobble, friends who call you out with love, and a plan that survives a bad day.We get honest about rehab reality: rules that shift midstream, staff contradictions, missed outings that matter more than outsiders think. When consistency breaks, cravings creep in. So we press for dignity and clarity—because predictable structure is treatment, and respect is non-negotiable. That includes hard boundary talk: how harassment sabotages safety, why mixed signals push people out, and how leadership can set a tone where recovery feels possible, not punitive.Then we move from coping to building. We unpack sponsors, meetings, and the 12 steps in practical terms—what a real sponsor does at 2 a.m., why amends are messy but freeing, and how fellowship turns isolation into momentum. The conversation turns hopeful as we outline a path to become a drug counselor: certification routes, vocational support, and the power of lived experience guiding others. Along the way, we ditch the outrage treadmill—political noise, viral “investigations,” and performative journalism—for the work that actually keeps us sober: accountability, community, and purpose.If you're staring down a resolution that scares you, this is your map: make it specific, make it supported, and keep your dignity intact when the systems around you wobble. Hit play, subscribe for more unfiltered conversations, and share this with someone who needs a nudge to call their sponsor—or to finally find one.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Esser Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Aging at the University of Florida joins the crew to break down one of the most overlooked performance variables in human physiology: circadian timing. After a career spent studying muscle adaptation, Dr. Esser shifted her research toward the molecular clocks inside our tissues, uncovering how every cell in the body keeps its own time. She explains how these clocks govern fuel storage, protein repair, metabolic readiness, and ultimately the way muscle responds to training. The team digs into what these clocks do, how they synchronize, and why misalignment affects everything from daily performance to long-term health. The conversation dives deep into time-of-day effects on strength, endurance, and adaptation. Dr. Esser highlights that humans are consistently stronger and more explosive in the afternoon, a pattern reflected in Olympic records and decades of performance data. But her lab's animal research reveals something game changing: consistent morning training can shift the internal clock system, allowing morning athletes to achieve equal or even better adaptations after several weeks, despite using lower absolute training loads. She also explains how travel, jet lag, and mistimed eating disrupt organ specific clocks, reducing performance and creating metabolic consequences similar to pre-diabetes. The crew tests these ideas against real world training habits, coaching experience, and what happens when athletes switch from evening to early morning training. Finally, Dr. Esser unpacks the broader health implications of circadian disruption from increased risk of metabolic disease and cardiovascular dysfunction to higher rates of depression and cancer in chronically misaligned shift workers. She outlines simple, actionable strategies: anchor your sleep and training times, keep eating within a roughly 10 hour window, avoid late night calories, and arrive early when competing across time zones. The conversation closes with practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and everyday lifters who want to maximize adaptation, improve metabolic health, and align their biology with the rhythms built into every cell.

In this discussion, Mike and Glenn explore the crucial question: "Now what?" as they look ahead to 2026. They delve into how living a life driven by passion and purpose is essential for true success.Key takeaways from the conversation include:The "Work" is the Key: The principle of "Drive," which mirrors the active approach of the AA program, suggests that to elevate your life, you must actively do the work.The Mantra of Success: Embrace the commitment: "If you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it," recognizing that success requires unwavering dedication.Action is Everything: The idea that "AA doesn't work" is true only if you don't work the program. Similarly, if you want a better life, you must live a better life.Showing Up is Non-Negotiable: Glenn and Mike agree that simply showing up is a foundational part of "going to any length."Direction through Awareness: Self-awareness is key to understanding your proper direction and requires being open to new experiences.Inspired by The Purpose Driven Life: Drawing inspiration from Rick Warren's book, they advocate for incorporating spirituality and serving others into your plan.Mike and Glenn emphasize that the time for passive wishing is over—it's time to take action to achieve the life you want.

People don't have substance use disorders in isolation. Their family, friends, and colleagues all experience, as Lisa Katona Smith, M.Ed., says, "feelings of anger, fear, and shame that fracture relationships with loved ones at a time when they are needed most." Lisa is a certified Peer Recovery Specialist, family consultant, TEDx speaker, and author of the book, "Parallel Recovery: A Guide for Those Who Love Someone Struggling with Substance Use Disorder." Inspired by her personal experience navigating a family member's addiction and motivated by the limitations of traditional support models, she created Parallel Recovery® — a structured, compassionate framework that gives a voice to the untold side of recovery and redefines how families support loved ones through substance use disorder. Lisa and Parallel Recovery can be reached at https://lisakatonasmith.com/. The State of Wisconsin's Dose of Reality campaign is at Dose of Reality: Opioids in Wisconsin.

In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Coach Yeadon to have a raw and honest conversation specifically for fathers—the men who carry the most pressure, the most responsibility, and often the deepest unspoken pain. Together, we break down the truth that porn isn't the real problem—pain is, and we explore why so many fathers turn to porn not for pleasure but for relief from stress, loneliness, and the weight of feeling unseen. Coach Yeadon and I dig into the idea of counterfeit validation, the power of daily habits, and the sobering reality that the wounds we ignore in ourselves become the emotional inheritance we hand to our children. My hope is that this episode gives you clarity, conviction, and the courage to step into the healing and leadership you were meant for.   Top 10 Show Highlights [00:35] Introduction to today's focus: why fathers have the most at stake in porn recovery. [01:05] The emotional truth about fathers carrying invisible pressure while feeling unappreciated. [03:29] The core insight: "You don't have a porn problem—you have a pain problem." [04:10] How urges that feel sexual are really driven by stress, fear, fatigue, and loneliness. [05:55] Coach Yeadon explains porn as "fake validation" when life feels overwhelming. [07:28] Why porn "almost works"—and why that makes it a dangerous emotional coping mechanism. [08:41] Insight #2: recovery is a marathon, not a sprint—freedom comes from daily consistency. [10:05] The tooth-brushing metaphor: why emotional and spiritual maintenance matters daily. [14:51] Community data showing that consistent habits predict consistent sobriety. [17:18] The generational truth: unhealed wounds in fathers become inherited trauma in children.   Linked List of Sites or Resources Mentioned Learn More About the Liberation Boot Camp: www.porntopurpose.com Join the Porn to Purpose Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/porntopurpose

Faith alone doesn't keep us sober. Neither does knowledge, meetings, or good intentions. Recovery happens when faith gives us direction, the blueprint shows us how, and the work turns it into action. The Big Book is clear: belief without action doesn't change our lives. We are given a spiritual solution, laid out step-by-step, and then asked to live it — daily, imperfectly, and honestly. This isn't about hype, emotion, or shortcuts. It's about showing up, doing the work, and trusting that results follow action. In today's Daily Trudge, we break down how faith, structure, and effort work together — and why leaving any one of them out eventually leads us back to the same old problems.

What do you do when you see a leader, a parent, or a spiritual covering in a moment of weakness? In this prophetic teaching, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks the sobering revelation behind Noah's nakedness and the son who chose exposure over honor. This is not a story about sin alone. It is a story about discernment, restraint, and the spiritual consequences of how we handle vulnerability. This episode reveals why Ham exposed Noah, what was really operating beneath his actions, and why dishonor produces generational fallout. You will learn the difference between access and assignment, revelation and rebellion, and why some people are trusted to cover while others are exposed for exposing. This episode is a warning and a wisdom key for leaders, sons, daughters, and anyone navigating proximity to an anointed life. If you have ever struggled with how to respond when you see flaws in people God is using, this teaching will reset your understanding of covering, honor, and spiritual responsibility. This is not gossip. This is discernment. This is about protecting what God is restoring. Blessed by this message, check out The Prophet's Recovery. Available everywhere

Long before discovering Pure Desire, their recovery journey began with a deep recognition of their need for help and God's grace to rebuild what was broken. They open up about the early steps they took to survive as a couple, the community that supported them, and how joining a Pure Desire group years later helped them experience a new depth of healing and connection. Together, they reveal the truths and tools that have sustained their marriage and shaped their ongoing recovery. Through honesty, accountability, and faith, Rodney and Traci now walk in freedom and are helping others do the same.

A clear, practical conversation about why the fundamentals of fasting matter at every stage of the journey. Episode #238

In this episode, I explore terminal lucidity, a little-known but well-documented phenomenon that occurs near the end of life. Terminal lucidity describes the sudden return of clear thinking, memory, communication, and personal awareness in people who were previously unable to show these abilities because of severe brain disease or injury. This can happen hours or days before death and has been reported in people with advanced dementia, long-term psychiatric illness, brain tumours, strokes, and serious brain damage.What makes terminal lucidity especially important is that it appears in individuals whose brains are believed to be physically incapable of producing normal consciousness. In many cases, the brain damage is extensive and has been present for years. Recovery is not expected. Yet the person may suddenly recognise loved ones, speak clearly, remember names and events, and show their usual personality again.In this episode, I examine terminal lucidity through the idea that consciousness may exist independently of the brain, with the brain acting as a receiver or filter rather than a generator. From this point of view, brain damage limits the expression of consciousness rather than destroying consciousness itself. As death approaches, the brain's normal control systems may weaken, briefly allowing clearer expression.I discuss the work of Christopher Kerr, a hospice doctor whose research shows that inner mental life often becomes more organised and meaningful as death approaches, even while the body and brain are failing. I also look at research by Peter Fenwick and Bruce Greyson, who have studied clear consciousness during severe brain impairment and near-death states.Using clear explanations and real case examples, this episode asks a challenging question: if consciousness can return when the brain is at its weakest, does this suggest that consciousness is not produced by the brain at all? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
