Sabyn Mayfield: Crossing The Bridge to Recovery | The Hopeaholics PodcastSabyn Mayfield, CEO of Brigid Recovery, delivers a raw and inspiring account of his 20-year journey through addiction, trauma, and recovery. As a former client of Brigid Recovery, a trauma-focused residential workshop in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Sabyn shares how his struggles with sobriety and identity, compounded by a career in film and music, led him to confront deep-seated family-of-origin trauma. He emphasizes the relativity of trauma, the transformative power of addressing shame, and the importance of becoming one's own loving parent, offering insights into Brigid's non-medical approach that prioritizes “what happened to you” over diagnosis. Sabyn's candid reflections on spiritual bottoms, the necessity of daily recovery practices, and the liberation of the Ninth Step resonate deeply, while his personal anecdotes—such as his familial connection to Dolly Parton and his mother's Emmy-winning casting career—add a unique layer to his story. Recorded with authenticity and humor, this episode underscores the podcast's mission to foster hope, highlighting Sabyn's shift from chaos to empowerment and his commitment to helping others heal, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery or seeking to understand trauma's lasting impact.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

It's not an either/ or proposition, it's both! There are areas where you definitely have to pull you own weight but often, much more often than you may think, we are supposed to help each other through life. Today, we are thinking about self-reliance and interdependence for disciples of Jesus. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 B. Overview Scripture calls believers to cultivate personal accountability (self-reliance) while actively engaging in a community of faith (interdependence). Key Themes: Biblical foundations for self-reliance in areas like personal spiritual growth, work, and stewardship. Scriptural mandates for living in community, bearing one another's burdens, and using spiritual gifts for the common good. C. Context Emphasize believer's individual responsibility before God. Highlight the importance of local church fellowship as a way of fulfilling our mission together. D. Today I want you to consider: What does “self-reliance” mean in your personal walk with Christ? How do you see interdependence playing a role in your local church or community? II. Self-Reliance in the Christian Life A. Definition and Biblical Context Self-reliance: Cultivating personal responsibility in one's faith, work, finances, and spiritual growth, recognizing that while God provides strength, He also calls us to be diligent stewards of our lives. B. Passages on Self-Reliance Proverbs 6:6-8 (NKJV): “Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.” Encourage proactive effort and preparedness in everyday life. In what areas of your life can you emulate the ant's industriousness? Galatians 6:4-5 (NKJV): “But let each one examine his own work, and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.” Highlight the importance of personal evaluation and responsibility. How can you take ownership of your spiritual growth while avoiding pride? Philippians 4:13 (NKJV): “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Emphasize that personal achievement is rooted in Christ's strength working through us. How does relying on Christ's strength change your approach to personal challenges? C. Practical Steps Self-Examination: Encourage daily devotional practices and self-reflection. How are you taking responsibility for your life now? What practical actions show that you are serious about your spiritual life and responsibilities before God? Personal Responsibility: Discuss setting goals in prayer, work, and study. Where do you need to be more proactive? Are the basics covered? Are you seeking out ways to intentionally pursue godliness in your life? How, Where, When? Is it on your calendar and in your budget? Stewardship: Explore biblical principles of managing finances, time, and talents responsibly. Do you recognize the accountability that you have before God in the decisions you make? What does that look like? **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** III. Interdependence in the Body of Christ A. Definition and Biblical Context Interdependence: Recognizing that while believers are called to personal responsibility, they are also part of a larger, unified body where mutual support, accountability, and service are essential. B. Passages on Interdependence 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (NKJV): “For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ...” Illustrate how each believer has a unique role that contributes to the health of the whole body. Which “spiritual gifts” do you see in your life that benefit the community, and how can you serve more effectively? Where and how are you living out this ‘Body Life' of the church? Sunday morning worship service is NOT enough. Are you intentionally seeking fellowship and investing in the life of your church family. Are you inviting them into your life? Small groups, one on one meetings, microchurch gatherings in public and homes. Galatians 6:2 (NKJV): “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Stress the call to support one another in times of difficulty. How have you experienced God's provision through the help of others? How can you extend that help? Ephesians 4:15-16 (NKJV): “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. From whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is equipped, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” Emphasize mutual edification and the organic growth of the church as a family of believers. In what ways can you contribute to the spiritual growth of your church family? Intentionality is Key. C. Application and Practical Steps Fellowship and Community: Discuss the importance of small groups, church ministries, and accountability partnerships. Doesn't happen accidently. Serving Others: Outline practical opportunities for service in the local community and the global church. Local church, neighbor church, etc. IV. Integrating Self-Reliance and Interdependence Recognizing the Balance Christians are called to be proactive and responsible stewards of their own lives (self-reliance) while also fully engaging in the support system provided by the Church (interdependence). James 2:14-17 (NKJV): “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? … Thus faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Faith must be expressed both individually and collectively. How does your personal faith inspire you to serve the community, and in turn, how does community service strengthen your personal walk with Christ? How do you maintain personal discipline while remaining open to community guidance? “In what specific ways will you take responsibility for your personal growth this week, and how will you actively engage with your faith community?” **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making 1. Lack of Intentionality Unclear Vision: Often, churches and individual believers may not have a clear, intentional vision or plan for disciple making. Without concrete goals, training, and accountability measures, disciple making can become an incidental outcome rather than a strategic priority. Scriptural Neglect: Some ministries may focus heavily on evangelism while underemphasizing the lifelong process of nurturing, teaching, and mentoring new believers. This disconnect from the biblical mandate (e.g., Matthew 28:19-20) can lead to a superficial understanding of discipleship. 2. Cultural Individualism Self-Reliance Over Community: Modern Western culture often emphasizes personal autonomy and self-reliance, which can contrast sharply with the biblical call to community (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). This individualism makes it more challenging to create environments where believers willingly submit to accountability, mentoring, and mutual growth. Reluctance to Invest in Others: The desire for personal achievement and success may lead some to undervalue the long-term commitment required to disciple others, rather than focusing on immediate personal benefits or social status. 3. Time Constraints and Busyness Competing Priorities: In today's fast-paced society, individuals often struggle to balance work, family, and ministry responsibilities. This busyness can leave little room for the deep, personal interactions required for disciple making. Over-Scheduled Lives: Constant digital engagement and overloaded schedules can lead to shallow relationships that lack the depth needed for transformative discipleship. 4. Lack of Effective Leadership and Training Insufficient Leadership Development: Effective discipleship requires mentors who are themselves mature in their faith and skilled in relational dynamics. A shortage of trained leaders who can intentionally mentor others is a significant barrier. Inadequate Resources: Churches may not invest adequately in training programs or create robust systems for leadership development, resulting in missed opportunities to equip believers for disciple making. 5. Digital Distractions and Superficial Engagement Impact of Technology: While digital media offers innovative outreach tools, the overreliance on online interactions can lead to more shallow, transactional relationships that lack the depth and accountability found in face-to-face mentoring. Social Media Culture: Constant engagement with social media may foster a culture of immediacy and quick approval, which can detract from the slow, formative process of true disciple making. 6. Fear of Judgment and Vulnerability Relational Barriers: Discipleship involves vulnerability and accountability. Many believers may be reluctant to share their struggles or admit weaknesses due to the fear of judgment or rejection by peers. Cultural Stigma: In both church settings and the broader society, there can be stigma associated with showing vulnerability, leading individuals to hide their need for growth rather than seeking relational support. 7. Theological Misunderstandings Misconceptions About Grace and Works: Some may mistakenly view discipleship as a checklist of rules or a set of actions rather than a transformative process fueled by the Holy Spirit. This can lead to legalism on one end or laxity on the other. Lack of Depth: Without a robust, well-balanced teaching on both grace and discipline, believers can misunderstand the essence of discipleship, which involves both receiving God's unmerited favor and engaging in the process of sanctification. 8. Resource Limitations and Institutional Challenges Financial and Infrastructural Constraints: Smaller churches or those in economically challenged areas might lack the resources to create comprehensive discipleship programs. Budget constraints, limited venues for small groups, or lack of access to quality teaching materials can impact effectiveness. Institutional Resistance: Sometimes, long-standing institutional practices can resist change, making it difficult to adapt or innovate new methods for effective disciple making. **(1:00)**   As we follow Jesus there is a need to do our part and help others along the way. Engaging in the life of the church family often benefits you more than you expect, in ways that you don't expect. The Body of Christ, when operating as it should helps you to grow and gives you opportunities to invest in helping others to grow. Your gifts are needed just as you need the gifts of others.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

People may fear giving credit because they worry it will diminish their status. But research shows the opposite is true: sharing credit actually boosts respect and trust. This paradox lies at the heart of status insecurity, a psychological trap that drives maladaptive behaviors and undermines relationships, careers, and personal wellbeing. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore the vicious cycle of status insecurity, its impact on individuals and society, and how we can gently rebel against its allure. We'll also consider the story of self-help author Mel Robbins refusing to acknowledge poet Cassie Phillips or the pre-existing "Let Them" movement in her recent book. Does this move reflect elements of status insecurity? What Is Status Insecurity? Status insecurity arises when individuals feel their social standing is unstable or at risk. This can stem from comparisons with others, societal pressures, or personal failures. According to research by Katherine Hoff, Derek Rucker, and Adam Galinsky, status insecurity triggers a self-perpetuating cycle: Status Insecurity: Doubts about one's social rank or standing. Compensatory Consumption: Buying luxury goods or status symbols to "prove" worth. Financial Strain: Overspending leads to stress and anxiety. Reinforced Status Insecurity: Financial and emotional strain further undermines self-worth. Cycle Repeats: The individual doubles down on status-seeking behaviors, worsening the cycle. This cycle is particularly prevalent in consumer-driven cultures, where status is often equated with material wealth and individual achievement. The Reluctance to Share Credit Status insecurity is fueled by the fear that acknowledging others' contributions will diminish one's own standing. Yet, studies show that sharing credit increases respect and trust. As Adam Grant shared on Instagram: "Sharing credit doesn't detract from your success. It displays your character. 17 studies show that when people feel insecure, they hesitate to celebrate others—and fail to earn respect." Ironically, withholding credit can damage credibility over time. When individuals prioritise image over integrity, they risk eroding trust and undermining their long-term reputation. The Mel Robbins Controversy: A Case Study The recent controversy involving self-help author Mel Robbins and the "Let Them Theory" may illustrate the dangers of status insecurity. Robbins presented the "Let Them Theory" as her own idea, omitting any acknowledgement to Cassie Phillips, whose viral "Let Them" poem and tattoo movement led to Robbins' discovery. This decision may have stemmed from the pressure to maintain her status as an innovative thought leader in a competitive industry that celebrates stories of "self-made" figures. Yet, as the truth has emerged, her credibility has been questioned, with many followers expressing disappointed and even feelings of betrayal. Robbins' experience is a cautionary tale: prioritising status over transparency doesn't go down well in the long run. Honesty about the theory's origins could have enhanced her reputation, demonstrating humility and collaboration—qualities audiences value. The Broader Implications of Status Insecurity On Individuals: It leads to stress, anxiety, burnout, and self-sabotaging behaviors like overworking or people-pleasing. On Relationships: It fosters competition, jealousy, and transactional interactions, making genuine connections harder to form. I once knew someone trapped in this mindset. Every conversation turned into an opportunity to boast about their achievements and experiences. Over time, the group grew exasperated, and this person was inadvertently left out of the proverbial weekend brunch invitation. Their presence created tension and unease because they believed that name-dropping, one-upping, and status-signalling were ways to impress rather than frustrate us.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 9, 2025 is: wend • WEND • verb Wend is a literary word that means “to move slowly from one place to another usually by a winding or indirect course”; wending is traveling or proceeding on one's way in such a manner. // Hikers wend along the marked trails to the top of the mountain, which provides a panoramic view of the area towns. // We wended our way through the narrow streets of the city's historic quarter. See the entry > Examples: “Otters do not like to share food.... There is a flickering movement of jaws before they swallow and dive again. For a moment I think they have left, then they surface once more and I make out two long shapes, one just ahead of the other. They wend their way further down the waterway before insinuating themselves back into the dark.” — Miriam Darlington, Otter Country: In Search of the Wild Otter, 2024 Did you know? “Out through the fields and woods / And over the walls I have wended …” So wrote poet Robert Frost in “Reluctance,” using the word's familiar sense of “to direct one's course.” By the time of the poem's publication in 1913, many other senses of wend had wended their way into and out of popular English usage including “to change direction,” “to change someone's mind,” “to transform into something else,” and “to turn (a ship's head) in tacking.” All of that turning is linked to the word's Old English ancestor, wendan, which shares roots with the Old English verb, windan, meaning “to twist” (windan is also the ancestor of the English verb wind as in “the river winds through the valley”). Wend is also to thank for lending the English verb go its past tense form went (as a past tense form of wend, went has long since been superseded by wended).

In this episode of The Christ Cycle, Maurice Harker explores the final phases of Christ's journey—Reluctance and Return—and the powerful lessons they offer for navigating our own lives.Even Christ, in His divine mission, experienced moments of hesitation, understanding the immense trials ahead. Yet, His deep-rooted commitment to His Father's will propelled Him forward. We'll discuss how reluctance is not a sign of weakness but an opportunity to reflect, gather strength, and align with our true purpose.The Return phase highlights Christ's unwavering dedication to His mission. After retreating for spiritual rejuvenation, He re-engaged with clarity, resilience, and an unshakable commitment to His divine calling. What can we learn from this? How do we return to our responsibilities and purpose after hardship, doubt, or burnout?Join us as we break down these final stages of The Christ Cycle and uncover how Christ's example can inspire us to overcome hesitation, recommit to our purpose, and move forward with faith.Want to read the book: ⁠https://bit.ly/TheChristCycleAudioBook

Even Christ, in His perfect divinity, experienced a moment of hesitation in the Garden of Gethsemane, recognizing the immense suffering ahead. Yet, He submitted to the will of the Father and moved forward with unwavering commitment.We'll examine how reluctance plays a role in our own lives—how feelings of hesitation, fear, and self-doubt can either paralyze us or refine our purpose. We'll discuss how Christ's example teaches us to acknowledge vulnerability, seek divine guidance, and ultimately embrace the path ahead.In the Return phase, we see how Christ re-engaged with His mission, not out of obligation, but from a place of renewed strength and purpose. By understanding this cycle, we can learn to overcome hesitation and recommit to our own divine purpose with greater faith, clarity, and resolve.Want to read the book: ⁠https://bit.ly/TheChristCycleAudioBook

So much of who we think we are stems from our insecurities and lack of faith. But, God does not want us to walk in reluctance. Our calling to be his people starts with a faithful resolve that he is our God. And from there, his mission will come to fruition in and through our lives.

Part 1 - ReluctantA Series on the Book of Jonah

Jacqui Felgate speaks about the latest antisemitic attack in Melbourne, wondering why some people don't feel the need to call it out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many of us are quick to offer help to others but struggle when it comes to asking for help ourselves. Why is that? As Christians, we are known for our generosity and willingness to assist those in need. However, when it's our turn to seek help, we often hesitate. Let's explore why that is—and why asking for help is not only okay but also glorifies God.The Reluctance to Ask for HelpChurches frequently establish benevolence funds to support members going through financial hardships. Most of us gladly contribute to these funds, eager to help those in need. But when the tables turn, and we are the ones facing difficulties, we often resist seeking assistance.One common reason is that we don't want to burden others. Many of us would rather go without—sometimes even at the expense of our families—than impose on someone else. However, the Bible challenges this mindset. Galatians 6:2 reminds us to “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” God's design for us is not self-sufficiency but a supportive Christian community where burdens are shared.Another reason we shy away from asking for help is the fear of appearing weak or vulnerable. We convince ourselves that no one can or wants to help us. Yet, this reluctance can sometimes stem from pride. Proverbs 11:2 warns, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”Asking for help—especially financial help—requires humility. It can be difficult to admit mistakes or acknowledge needs, but it's an opportunity for growth. Whether our difficulties arise from poor decisions or unforeseen circumstances, God can use them to shape our character and deepen our dependence on Him.Biblical Examples of Receiving HelpEven the Apostle Paul, a pillar of faith, received financial support for his ministry. In Philippians 4:19, he expresses gratitude, saying, “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all of your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”Furthermore, Jesus Himself accepted help from others. Luke 8:1-3 tells us that Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna provided financial support for His ministry. If the Son of God was willing to receive help, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?If you find yourself in need, start by sharing your situation with your church community. Even if no one within the church can help directly, they might know someone who can. The Body of Christ is a vast network of believers who are ready and willing to offer support in various ways.Seeking help not only benefits you but also provides others with an opportunity to fulfill their calling to generosity. When we withhold our needs, we deny them the blessing of giving.Asking for Help Glorifies GodThe ultimate reason to ask for help? It glorifies God. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul writes, “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Acknowledging our weakness allows God's strength to shine through and reminds us of our dependence on Him.When you pray and ask God for help, He often answers through people and opportunities, not supernatural interventions. 1 John 5:14 assures us that “if we ask anything according to his will, He hears us.”By seeking help, we acknowledge our reliance on God, invite others to be part of His provision, and foster a deeper sense of community and mutual support.If you're facing financial difficulties, don't hesitate to ask for help. Whether it's from your church, a trusted friend, or even a financial advisor, remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness—it's an act of faith and humility.

In doing so, you allow others to serve, grow in generosity, and bring glory to God through their kindness and your humility.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a bi-vocational pastor with a substantial six-figure income, but I've gotten myself into a situation where I can't give as much as I want to. I see some financial relief coming soon, but I feel stuck and almost hypocritical about it. How can I get my finances in order so I can be the generous giver I want to be?I inherited an IRA from my dad in 2017. Can I keep this inherited IRA, or do I have to do something with it? I've been taking the required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year, but my tax preparer has never said anything about needing to handle this differently. Can I just continue taking the RMDs as I have been?I'm 73 years old and in good health now, but I'm concerned about the future if I need to go to a nursing home. I know they can take everything I have. How can I protect any assets I have, like my home and the $100,000 I have in cash and securities, from the nursing home taking it all?I'm 59 years old and I have everything paid off, a fully funded emergency fund, and I'm contributing to my 401(k). I have about $200,000 that I'd like to invest. I want to be somewhat conservative, but I also don't want to miss out on potential market gains that could be used for the kingdom. What would you recommend I do with this $200,000? Should I look into fixed annuities, crypto, or something else?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationLook 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.

This episode is a strong start to the year.  It is essential listening for all professionals working with separating families.  We are joined by Jenny Beck KC (Beck Fitzgerald) , Dr Jamie Craig (Consultant Clinical Psychologist) and Zoe Fleetwood (Mills & Reeve) to discuss children that are reluctant, resistant or refusing to see the other parent, as well as parents engaging in psychological manipulation of their children by alienating behaviour. We examine the Family Justice Council guidance in this area. The report is both erudite and succient at only 30 pages long and should be read by everyone involved in this field:https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Family-Justice-Council-Guidance-on-responding-to-allegations-of-alienating-behaviour-2024-1-1.pdf Zoe reminds of what has happened in the last 10 years to lead us here from PD12J, to the presumption in favour of a parent's involvement which was inserted into the Children Act in 2014, LASPO which removed legal aid, the Domestic Abuse Act, Re HN , RE C [2023] EWHC 345 (Fam), Re S (Parental Alienation: Cult) : [2020] EWCA Civ 568 https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/re-s-a-child-judgment290420.pdf, the Harm report from 2020, and the Domestic Commissioner's Abuse Commissioners report of 2023https://domesticabusecommissioner.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DAC_Family-Court-Report-_2023_Digital.pdf. Zoe concludes with the case of Re (Parental Alienation: Factual Findings) [2024] EWFC 75 which maybe an example of the Court starting to change coursehttps://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/OJ/2024/75.html Jenny reminds us that there are three elements that a Court needs to find before concluding there have been alienating behaviours:There must actually be a child who is reluctant, refusing or resistant to engage in a relationship with a parent;That reluctant, refusal or resistant must be as a result of something other than appropriate justified rejection, or caused by alignment, affinity or attachment.It has to be as a result of other behaviours that has impacted the child and that has led to the child's reluctance, refusal or resistance.Jamie points out that the child's behaviour is not evidence of the adult's behaviour.  Nor is the absence of a reason for a child not to want to see the other parent proof that a child is alienating. The guidance reminds us that there is not a equivalence between domestic abuse and parental alienation.  The guidance also reminds us about the importance of the choosing appropriately qualified experts in complex family situations. Jamie warns us of the dangers of pseudo-science and the psychobabble.  He cautions against jumping to a conclusion that a child has been alienated if they are reluctant, refusing or resistant to the other parent.  For example, a child may just be exhibiting attachment response, or a child demonstrating an affinity for a particular parent, or they may have come to their own decision about how they have understood the situation. All of this is not to say that there are never occasions when parents have psychologically manipulated their children. We know that they do.  Indeed, sometimes perpetrators of abuse psychologically manipulate children to believe the other parent is a danger.  The point is that the burden of proof should not be reversed, and the Court approaching the case as if a parent has to prove they are not engaging in alienating behaviours. Zoe links back to when we last discussed this topic from March 2022; Finding the Middle Ground; Parental alienation and High conflict cases, with Dr Mark Berelowitz and Alex Verdan KC.https://resolution.org.uk/podcast/resolution-podcast-season-1/ Finally we ask our guests to wrestle with the question of what professionals should do if they have been involved in a case where the Court has relied on advice from an expert who lacked the appropriate qualifications, or has made recommendations based on what we do is pseudo-science.  Jenny suggests that if there has been an error in process then the professional or the Court may now need to engage with what is in the best interest of the child, therefore an appeal out of time maybe an appropriate step in some cases.  Please note that Jenny and Jamie were the Chairs of the Family Justice Council working group that wrote the guidance.  However, they appear on this episode in their personal capacity and were not speaking on behalf of the Council.
