Podcasts about Rescuers

The Opposite of Leadership...Wait for it...It's Drama I'm really excited for this week's episode of A New Direction, because I'll be sitting down with best-selling author Charlie Sheppard, whose work jolts us out of the endless cycle of workplace drama and into — you guessed it — leadership by choice. In his book Save Your Drama for Your Mama: Drama or Leadership is a Choice, Charlie makes it clear that drama isn't just annoying, it's corrosive. It creates what he calls the “Drama Triangle” — where we play the roles of victim, persecutor, or rescuer — and it keeps us trapped in old patterns of blame, guilt, and avoidance. But the powerful truth is that leadership is also a triangle — one that begins when we make a conscious choice to step out of the drama and lead ourselves first. One of the topics we'll explore is what it means to shift from external control (“It's not my fault, someone else made me do it”) to internal ownership (“I choose how I respond”). Charlie argues that when we feel powerless, we fall into drama; when we reclaim choice, we start leading. So, I want us to ask: where in your professional or personal life are you still waiting for someone else to drive the bus? And how might you hop into the driver's seat instead? This isn't about becoming perfect or drama-free overnight — it's about recognizing that you always have the power to choose differently. We'll also dive into how we show up in the roles we play — adversary vs. catalyst, victim vs. visionary. These distinctions move leadership beyond the abstract and into behaviors we can see in our teams and ourselves. Expect us to unpack those everyday situations — the teammate who plays the victim and drags the group down, or the adversary who stirs things up in destructive ways — and contrast them with the visionary or catalyst who chooses to energize, engage, and elevate. If you've ever wondered how to stop drama from being “just how we do things,” this part of the conversation will be eye-opening. Finally, we'll wrap with the big idea that leadership is a choice — full stop. Charlie doesn't sugar-coat it: real leadership takes awareness, intention, and a willingness to look in the mirror. But he also offers a practical roadmap — not just “stop the drama,” but “what do I do instead?” Whether you're leading a team, managing projects, coaching others, or simply trying to grow as a person, this message will challenge and inspire you. My hope is that when you tune in, you'll ask yourself one powerful question: “Am I choosing leadership right now… or am I just participating in drama because it's easier?” Charlie Sheppard's book, "Save Your Drama For Your Mama: Drama or Leadership. is a Choice is perhaps one of the best practical books on leadership I have ever read.  For the first time someone has clearly defined the opposite of leadership. Are you wondering what that is?  It's not followership...it's drama. And what Charlie Sheppard had developed is elegantly simplistic by comparing and contrasting the behaviors of those in leadership and those in drama.  In fact, you discover the opposites.  For Example: An internal locus of control is leadership, it's counterpart is an external locus of control.  Adversary or catalyst. Victim or visionary. Rescuer or coach?.  His detailed triangles take us through a journey that begins change our perspective. What is also phenomenal about this book is he has a tremendous amount of research to support his findings.  If you are brain and body geek you are going to love is section on the amygdala and it's connection to how it interacts with both drama and leadership. If you want real world examples, he supplies those as well. Absolutely an engaging read.   And I will add there is truth in his warning in the introduction of the book.  "Once you've been exposed to this way of thinking, your life will never be the same."  It's absolutely true.  I have used it with my clients and it works!

At Sabbath School the Shoebox Kids learn about Balaam and his donkey, and Sammy sees how listening to God and caring for animals builds a name people can trust. The next day, neighbors bring Sammy a stray kitten because they know he will help. A gentle story about courage, compassion, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Talk about it:What brave choice did Sammy make when he saw the boys with rocks?How did Sammy's kindness change Scott's actions?What does the Balaam story teach us about listening to God and treating animals kindly?Who could you help or protect this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

A deep dive into the unconscious roles of Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor, and how the Drama Triangle drives conflict, disempowerment, and division in both personal and collective life.

Joseph was born and raised in Liberia during a time of severe Civil War. He hid to avoid becoming one of the Lost Boys, and he and his family fled and became refugees. But through it all, God had a plan for this young boy. The Refugee would become a Rescuer, sharing the gospel with the lost. Hear his powerful story when he joins guest host Collin Lambert on the next edition of Equipped.

Today, we're digging into the concept of the Drama Triangle (which you can probably guess is something you don't want to be stuck in). I'm talking all about what the Drama Triangle is and how it shows up in parenting.You'll Learn:What the Drama Triangle is and why you don't want to get stuck thereExamples of how the Drama Triangle shows up in familiesA new model to help you shift out of the drama and into empowermentMy own experience of being stuck in the Drama TriangleLet's get you and your family out of drama and into a place of empowerment and resilience. ------------------------------------------------What Is the Drama Triangle?The Karpman Drama Triangle (named after psychologist Stephen Karpman) describes how we often adopt one of three unhealthy roles when attempting to resolve conflict: The Victim feels powerless and wronged—“Someone's hurting me and I need help!”The Persecutor is the “bad guy”—the one blamed for being harsh, critical, or causing pain.The Rescuer swoops in to “save” the Victim from the Persecutor, solving everyone's problem—but often at their own expense.Overall, the Drama Triangle is maladaptive - meaning that these roles are not actually helpful for conflict resolution or family dynamics. How the Drama Triangle Shows Up at HomeMaybe your oldest is always “the troublemaker” (Persecutor), your youngest is constantly “getting picked on” (Victim), and you're forever running interference (Rescuer). Or maybe, after a particularly tough bedtime, you feel like the Victim—powerless over your child's tantrums—and wish your partner would “rescue” you by stepping in.Over time, these patterns teach our kids to rely on others to solve their problems, or—worse—internalize harmful labels as “the bad one” or “the helpless one.” And as moms, we sacrifice our own needs for peace that never really lasts.Here's the tough truth. When we fall into these roles, nobody wins. VictimIf a child (or anyone, for that matter) is repeatedly put into the Victim role, we take away their belief that they can solve their own problems. We let them think that they are helpless and that they are trapped and that they cannot do for themselves. They look to their Rescuer to solve problems for them, which is a really disempowering place to be. PersecutorA Persecutor often blames others for their actions. Instead of responding to problems with helpful behavior, they often respond with judgment and criticism.When we remember that feelings drive behavior, we can see that the Persecutor is the one who is actually in pain. The one who needs support. But we often don't give that support to the Persecutor. We go to the Victim instead. So the Persecutor stays stuck in that pain and that role. They start to feel like the “bad kid”. This is common with older siblings, aggressive kids, kids with ADHD or neurodivergence, and parents who aren't emotionally regulated. And because they are treated like the problem, they feel very isolated and disconnected. They're trying to get control by putting someone else down, but that isn't really empowerment. And it doesn't make them feel good. RescuerThe Rescuer is doing the Victim's dirty work. A lot of moms find themselves in this role, and it ultimately creates a codependent dynamic where everybody's turning to you, and now you're the rescuer of everybody and you have to solve all the problems and fix everybody's issues all the time. It's exhausting, and it leads to resentment.Plus, by rescuing our kids, we deny them the opportunity to learn how to

Have you ever found yourself drawn to people who are “projects”? Do you tend to over-function in relationships, always fixing, rescuing, or holding everything together?In this vulnerable and powerful solo episode, I share my personal journey of becoming the fixer—how this survival strategy took root in my childhood, shaped my romantic and platonic relationships, and ultimately became an addiction rooted in trauma. From love addiction to burnout, I unpack the emotional cost of over-responsibility and the path I took to begin healing, feeling, and reclaiming myself.This episode is for you if:You constantly attract emotionally unavailable or chaotic partnersYou feel responsible for other people's healing or happinessYou've lost yourself in trying to be “the helper”You're ready to stop managing relationships and start being in themWe'll explore how early trauma teaches us to fix, why it becomes so addictive, and how to begin shifting these patterns somatically—with compassion, not shame.JOIN THE FREE MASTERCLASS: https://marinayt.com/masterclass-stop-being-a-fixer❥Join HeartSpace monthly community with a free trial: ⁠⁠https://marinayt.com/community⁠⁠❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Fixing became a way to numb the pain of my childhood.”“If you don't show yourself, what are people going to see?”“Being the helper isn't love—it's a role we play to feel safe.”“I wasn't in the relationship.

In this deeply moving episode, Nole and Kevin sit down with Jason Sautel, a retired Oakland firefighter and the author of the powerful memoir, "The Rescuer." Jason shares his harrowing journey from a traumatic childhood to the front lines of one of America's busiest fire departments.Jason pulls back the curtain on the "stone-cold lifesaver" persona, revealing the internal darkness and despair that hid behind his acclaimed career. He recounts the moment he hit rock bottom, planning to take his own life, and the painful experience of being turned away by a church in his darkest hour. Yet, in that same moment of desperation, a simple, unexpected visit from a San Francisco firefighter pulled him back from the brink.This conversation is a masterclass in vulnerability, as Jason details his path to finding faith, the profound influence of his wife Kristie, and the life-altering fire that solidified his belief in God. He also offers invaluable, hard-won wisdom for first responders on navigating marriage, communicating trauma with a spouse, and raising children in a world of chaos.This isn't just a story about firefighting; it's a story about the universal human struggle, the power of authentic connection, and the hope that can be found even after the deepest wounds.Get the book, The Rescuer.https://www.thomasnelson.com/p/the-rescuer/Jason Sautel on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/GracefullyRescued/Sign up for this year's 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/911-memorial-climb-tickets-1302529443629?aff=oddtdtcreatorBig thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsSend Nole an email: nolerltw@gmail.comSign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsMyZone facility code for The Fire You Carry: CALIFUS001Get $60 off a MZ-Switch Heart Rate Monitor!https://buy.myzone.org/?lang=enUS&voucher=CALIFUS001-60The Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=enNole's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/nolelilley/?hl=en

In this episode, Nole and Kevin jump straight in with an urgent call to action for everyone to sign up for the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. The guys then dive into a compelling discussion about the book "The Rescuer" by Jason Sautel, exploring the idea that first responders leave a piece of themselves on every call. This leads to a broader conversation about professionalism, personal accountability, and the internal battle between doing what you know is right versus taking the easy way out, whether that's cleaning the station bathrooms or avoiding the endless dopamine chase of "doomscrolling." They touch on proactive mental health, the tools they use to stay grounded, and the simple but powerful act of mentorship. Finally, Nole shares his latest bio-hacking experiment: mouth taping for better sleep.Key Topics & Timestamps(00:13) - Urgent Call to Action: Sign up for the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb now!(02:01) - Book Discussion: "The Rescuer" by Jason Sautel.(02:20) - The concept of leaving a piece of yourself on every call.(04:00) - The profound impact of small, professional acts on the people we serve.(06:49) - The "Shopping Cart Theory" and the importance of doing what's right when no one is watching.(08:45) - The trap of doomscrolling and its effect on being present with family.(11:05) - Understanding social media as an addiction to dopamine hits.(14:30) - How reading "The Rescuer" brought up uncomfortable emotions and memories of traumatic calls.(17:25) - Using the HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) method and the value of proactive mental health check-ins.(19:25) - The constant battle of feeding the "good dog" versus the "bad dog."(20:10) - The common struggle of knowing what to do for self-improvement but failing to execute.(23:10) - Kevin discusses his sobriety and why alcohol isn't a viable coping tool for him.(25:36) - Nole provides an update on his journey of quitting nicotine.(28:00) - The power of fatherhood, mentorship, and positive male role models in the fire service.(36:00) - Nole shares a tool for starting difficult but important conversations.(38:32) - Mouth Taping: Nole's deep dive into using "Hostage Tape" for better sleep.(45:55) - Final details and push for the 5th Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.Resources MentionedEvent: 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb RegistrationBook: "The Rescuer" by Jason SautelBible Verse: James 4:17Sleep Aid: Hostage Tape, 3M Micropore TapeHealth Service: Function Health Blood Tests (for County employees)Send us an email: thefireupprogram@gmail.comSign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!The Fire You Carry Instagram.
