What happens when someone says something about us—and before they've even finished speaking, we're already preparing our defense?That's not what I meant.That's not what happened.You don't understand.Defensiveness can show up quickly. We explain. We justify. We shut down. We counterattack. Or we become so focused on proving that we're right that we stop listening.But what if defensiveness isn't simply something we need to get rid of?What if it's trying to tell us something?In this Sound Bite, inspired by my recent conversation with Kerry Siggins about hard conversations, feedback, and trust, I explore defensiveness through a different lens: not judgment, but curiosity.Our brains are designed to help protect us. And the things we perceive as threatening aren't always physical. Feedback can bump up against our sense of competence, our intentions, our identity, our belonging—or an older story we carry about ourselves.That may be why a comment that seems relatively small can sometimes create such a big reaction.A Question to ConsiderKerry offered a question in our conversation that got me thinking:Am I trying to be right—or am I willing to be curious?Because being curious doesn't mean the other person is right.It doesn't mean we have to accept everything someone says about us.And it doesn't mean poorly delivered feedback suddenly becomes okay.It simply creates enough room for us to ask:Is there something here I can learn?This reflection also inspired the third Girl, Take the Lead! Reflection Panel:When DEFENSIVENESS shows up...PAUSEWhat am I protecting?Am I trying to be right?What can I learn?How do I want to respond?That last question matters.The PAUSEBecause the goal isn't to never feel defensive. The goal may be to notice when it happens—and create enough space between the feeling and our response to choose what comes next.Maybe we own something.Maybe we apologize.Maybe we ask another question.Maybe we clarify what we meant.Maybe we ask for time to process.And sometimes, after considering what we've heard, we may decide that the feedback simply doesn't belong to us.Receiving feedback doesn't require accepting all of it. It asks us to be willing to examine it.The Girl, Take the Lead! Reflection Panels are handmade reminders designed to help us pause, reflect, and get curious when familiar feelings or patterns show up.You can find the Reflection Panels and other handmade cards in the Girl, Take the Lead! shop:Girl, Take the Lead! ShopThe next time defensiveness shows up, instead of judging it or immediately acting on it, what might happen if you ask:What is this trying to tell me?Listen to the Conversation That Inspired This Sound Bite321.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
In 2016, five members of the Tromp family fled their farm in a single car, leaving behind their passports, credit cards and mobile phones. Why they fled remains one of Australia's greatest modern mysteries—a mystery that not even the Tromp family can fully explain. Over the following week, the family scattered across two states. One son, Mitchell, abandoned the journey and caught a train home. Two daughters, Riana and Ella, stole a car near the Jenolan Caves before reporting their own parents missing more than 100 miles away. Riana was later found catatonic in the back of a stranger's pickup truck. Their mother, Jacoba, turned up wandering the streets of Yass, while their father, Mark, disappeared into bushland. Today, we retrace the family's bizarre road trip, examine the many theories—from contaminated water and cults to supernatural cave spirits—and explore the explanation psychologists keep returning to: “folie à deux”, the rare condition in which one person's delusions spread to those closest to them. It's a remarkable true story about just how fragile—and contagious—the human mind can be. Topics Included what happened in the Tromp family disappearance the empty farm, the abandoned passports and the missing Peugeot the frantic drive north and the phone thrown from the window the Jenolan Caves and the folklore surrounding them why the family scattered one by one across two states Riana found catatonic in a stranger's pickup the theories, from farm chemicals to cults to cave spirits folie à deux and the science of shared psychosis the Eriksson twins and other real cases of shared delusion how the Tromps were found and what they said afterwards Resources and Further Reading Riana Tromp speaks about bizarre roadtrip in first interview - news.com.au Transcript of Mitchell and Ella Tromp speaking to the media on Sunday - The Age Folie à deux - Wikipedia Ursula and Sabina Eriksson - Wikipedia Tromp family - The Daily Telegraph Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonSuggest a Topic: Freaky RegisterShare this episode with a friend!

She and Wendy walk through the exact tool she hands her private clients to do it: two lists, a rubber band, and 72 hours. They explore:Why old patterns keep sabotaging results years after the moment that created them, and how that "residue" gets stored in the body at a cellular level, not just the mindThe real-time example from Riana's own life (a business relationship blowing up the morning of this interview) and the difference between treating it as something happening to her versus something happening for herHow the 72-hour rubber band practice works step by step, and why three days is enough to start building a new neural pathway instead of reinforcing the old oneRiana's work isn't about excavating the old story to explain why someone feels stuck. It's about clearing the pattern out of the body first, then giving the mind something new and specific to build toward in love, in money, in work, in whatever's next.Connect with Riana:Instagram: instagram.com/rianamaliaRianaMalia.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rianamaliaThe Extraordinary Love Index: taketheeli.com________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

Plus, they share platform performance details and discuss what this means for the future of Halo.Episode Highlights Visuals & Engine: Built in Unreal Engine 5 (4K, 60+ FPS) featuring improved visuals, richer sound, and added environmental details like wildlife.

Rebalanced Arsenal: Weapons feel refreshed; the Needler and Needle Rifle are far more effective, while the iconic pistol remains strong. Bonus Prequel Levels: Set one year before the main story, these new missions omit Cortana, feature Sergeant Johnson, and support chaotic four-player co-op. Performance: Plays great on PC and ROG Ally X, but performance is poor on the original white ROG Ally.

Today, I interview Riana Malia, who grew up through repeated family breakups, broken promises, and the belief that she had to earn love. The instability left her feeling unsettled, too much in some ways and not enough in others, while also teaching her to become deeply resourceful.Those early beliefs followed Riana through marriage, motherhood, financial hardship, betrayal, and relationships where she tried to manage outcomes and become who others needed her to be. Although she went to therapy, read the books, and talked about her experiences, the anger, sadness, and old story continued to shape her life.Her breakthrough came when she realized that repeatedly telling the same story was keeping her inside it. She learned to stand on her story instead, let go of the belief that she had to beg people to love her, and become the same person in every room. That shift helped her break the cycle of broken promises and create a different life.Today, Riana uses what she has learned to help women stop repeating the relationship patterns that no longer serve them. She helps them get clear about who they are, what they want, and the life and love they want to create.__________________Riana Malia is a Board-Certified Neurosomatic Practitioner, Identity Architect, and private authority for women who have built extraordinary lives and refuse to settle for ordinary love.

Today's audience caller episode is one I've been so excited to share. Riana is a travel blogger (http://teaspoonofadventure.com) who, after having her daughter in early 2025, did something most new parents run far from: instead of taking a typical parental leave, she and her husband sold almost everything they owned and spent nine months slow-traveling through Canada, France, the UK, and Spain—with a five-month-old baby and their dog in tow. At first glance, this is a trip story. But really, it's a story about permission. Permission to build a life that doesn't fit the mold, permission for a dad to take 15 months of paternity leave when most take a few weeks, and permission to feel the FOMO and the exhaustion of new parenthood while still choosing adventure over fear. We get into everything: how her husband's paternity leave became the centerpiece of the plan, the family pushback (“you're taking my grandbaby away!”), and how they kept relationships close despite being thousands of miles apart. Riana also opens up about money in a way most people never do. She breaks down the full cost of the trip, exactly how much her travel blog earns per month, and where they blew way past their budget. My favorite part of this conversation is when we get into the "vacation vs. trip" debate and how Riana found unexpected joy in the parts of travel she never would've chosen for herself before becoming a mom. If you're a parent, a soon-to-be parent, or just someone who's ever wondered "could I actually do this with a baby?”—this one's for you.

Are you ready to stop reliving your past and break your toxic relationship cycle? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by subconscious healing expert Riana Malia to discuss the radical intentionality required to clear deep-seated trauma and step into your most authentic self. Riana shares her incredible journey from a childhood in Minnesota to surviving a high-stakes DEA investigation, and how those pivotal moments led her to develop the "Clear to Create" method to break her toxic relationship cycle We dive into the "neurological baggage" that keeps so many high-achieving women stuck in cycles of toxic relationships and self-doubt. Riana offers a fresh perspective on why traditional storytelling can actually prolong your pain and how to remove the emotional charge from your history without having to relive it. We discuss the impact of resentment on trust, the myth of the "conscious" choice, and practical strategies like the Love Index to identify what is actually blocking your capacity to break your toxic relationship cycle. Whether you're recovering from a betrayal or simply seeking more alignment with your core values, this conversation provides a roadmap for returning to clarity, self-trust, and permanent healing. In this episode, you'll learn: - The 95% Rule: Why the unconscious mind drives nearly all of our behaviors and why healing must happen at the neurological level to be permanent. - Clearing vs. Reliving: Understanding how to release the "emotional charge" of trauma (the ribbons and marbles) without the pain of reliving the original memories. - The Resentment Barrier: Why holding onto past rage is the #1 block to breaking toxic relationship cycles for authentic love and how forgiveness serves as a practical tool for personal freedom. - The Clear-Create-Claim Process: Riana's three-phase methodology for stripping away old narratives, building empowering beliefs, and stepping into a new identity. - The Story vs. The Self: How to distinguish between the events that happened to you and who you truly are at your core to unlock lasting inner peace.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Are you living a life that looks great on paper, but feels like something's missing beneath the surface? You've climbed the ladder, checked all the boxes, yet relationships and real fulfillment seem just out of reach. The cycle of "almost, but not quite" can leave even the most accomplished individuals wondering why old patterns keep resurfacing and why true connection remains elusive. In this episode, listeners will explore how subconscious beliefs, habitual thought patterns, and unresolved emotional baggage shape the dynamics of love and connection. Through practical approaches like interrupting negative cycles, clarifying desires and values, and learning to rewire internal narratives, this conversation offers actionable steps to break free from unhelpful relationship patterns and begin creating the kind of intimacy and fulfillment you truly crave. Riana helps high-achieving women who've built a life they're proud of in their career, family, friendships, and growth, but still feel stuck in the same old love patterns. Through her signature method, she helps them rewire the subconscious beliefs and recode the nervous system responses that have shaped their relationships for decades, so they can finally create extraordinary love that matches the life they've built. Episode Highlights 04:01 Finding identity during life transitions. 08:31 Getting exactly what you ordered. 11:54 Rewiring neurology and internal beliefs. 13:01 Exploring therapeutic approaches. 17:24 Breaking negative thought patterns. 22:02 Accessing emotions to change behaviors. 24:39 Creating your vision board. 27:56 Shifting to positive self-talk. 31:44 Clearing out mental clutter. 35:04 Shifting mindset and frequency. 42:27 The power of forgiveness. 46:13 Steps to heal relationships. Your Checklist of Actions to Take Clarify Your Desires: Take time to specifically identify what you truly want in relationships and life, beyond vague wishes, by listing your non-negotiables and values. Perform the Away/Toward Exercise: Write out everything you don't want on one piece of paper ("away") and all that you do want on another ("toward") to bring awareness to your focus. Wear a Rubber Band: For 72 hours, wear a rubber band on your wrist. When you notice negative thoughts, snap them to create an instant pattern interrupt and remind yourself to shift focus. Redirect Your Thinking: When you catch yourself focused on the "away" list, immediately replace the thought with something from your "toward" list or its positive opposite. Cultivate Genuine Gratitude: If struggling to generate positive feelings, ground yourself in something you are authentically grateful for in the present moment. Serve Others: If feeling stuck, perform a small act of kindness to shift your emotional state and break negative patterns. Incrementally Improve Your Emotional State: Don't force a leap from low emotions to joy—focus instead on moving up one or two levels on the emotional scale at a time. Release the Old Story: Set boundaries around retelling painful past stories to others; instead, focus conversations on new goals and dreams to reinforce a forward-looking identity.

Riana Shaw Robinson, a preacher, pastor, prophet, and Executive Director of Faith Matters Network, to explore the power of lament in our spiritual lives.Drawing from her experience in the Black church tradition, Riana shares how lament is not separate from faith, but a vital expression of it. Together, we reflect on how the Psalms give us language for the moments when life feels overwhelming ~ when prayers are not polished, but raw, honest, and real.Riana offers a refreshing perspective on prayer as truth-telling, naming what hurts, what feels broken, and what we long for while still holding on to trust in God. She also shares practical ways to engage lament, both personally and in community, including the powerful practice of writing collective lament prayers.This conversation is an invitation to let go of perfect words and instead bring your whole self before God ~ your questions, your grief, your hope ~ and to do so bravely and courageously. “To me, lament is truth-telling about the very real things that we are negotiating. And it's not separate from praise. It is…I'm struggling, this is hard… And I name it because I trust God. And I can rely on others to remind me of God's faithfulness, even when things are hard.” Rev. Riana Shaw Robinson is an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a seasoned nonprofit leader, and a trained spiritual director whose work sits at the intersection of faith, justice, and community transformation. She brings more than a decade of experience in leading organizations and initiatives that advance racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice.She is the Birthing Pastor of Miriam's Song Church ~ a bold spiritual community that centers the healing, wholeness, and flourishing of women and non-binary people of color, rooted in the liberative way of Jesus.Throughout her career, Riana has built a reputation as a visionary leader and community-driven strategist. She has led transformative justice initiatives, cultivated cross-sector partnerships, and provided values-based consulting to churches and nonprofits. Her expertise includes leadership development, DEIB implementation, organizational capacity building, and justice-centered evaluation and facilitation.Riana holds a Master of Divinity from the Pacific School of Religion and a B.A. in Ethnic Studies from Mills College. She is also a graduate of the inaugural cohort of the Liberated Together Spiritual Direction School, where she honed her gifts for spiritual accompaniment and communal healing.Riana lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her four children.

#202 - Your Body Remembers: How Stored Emotions Shape Your Health, Success, and Relationshipswith Riana Malia Ever wonder why, no matter how much work you've done toward healing and life goals, you still hit the same walls—repeated patterns, anxiety, or that “stuck” feeling you can't quite name? What if you don't need to work on yourself anymore—what if it's more about clearing old, inaccurate messages ? In this episode, I sit down with Riana Malia, creator of Quantum Time Release (QTR) and Quantum Goal Setting, to explore how stored emotions, subconscious patterns, and energetic imprints shape your physical health, your relationships, and even your sense of success. If you've ever rolled your eyes at words like “quantum” or “energy work,” stay with me—because this one's rooted in neuroscience, not hocus pocus or woo. Riana breaks down how unresolved emotions literally alter your nervous system, and how releasing them can create measurable shifts in your body and your life.

Timestamp to skip the intro chat: (13:36)Folie à deux is a French term that means ‘madness of two'. It can also refer to a shared psychosis or a shared delusional disorder.In 2008, identical twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson were acting erratically. They had traveled to England from Sabina's home in Ireland. The sisters were asked to leave a bus that they had been traveling on as they were acting paranoid and would not let the driver search their belongings. After they got off the bus, the sisters ran into oncoming traffic on a motorway.Ursula would be hospitalized for months, while Sabina was released soon after the event. Sabina would wander the streets of Stoke on Trent in England, looking for her sister. A man named Glenn Hollinshead took pity on Sabina and took her in. Sabina would end up killing Glenn by stabbing him five times with a kitchen knife. Neither sister has given any reason for their actions.We also discuss the strange case of the Tromp Family. In 2016, Mark and Jacoba Tromp fled their home in Silvan, Australia, along with their three adult children Ella, Mitchell and Riana. The family were convinced that people were after them and that they were being tracked by their devices. One investigating police officer described this case as "the most bizarre case I've seen in 30 years".The family would all eventually be recovered safely, following a large-scale police investigation. Mitchell Tromp would later say 'I've never seen anything like it. It's really hard to explain or put a word on it but they were just fearing for their lives and then they decided to flee. It was a build-up of different, normal, everyday events - just pressure - and it slowly got worse as the days went by."Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/02/24/folie-a-deux-crimes-events-of-shared-psychosis/This episode is sponsored by:NOCD - If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

Today's episode takes a deep dive into one of the most high-profile AI controversies in recent months: the debate surrounding Grok AI. From reports that the system generated harmful content — including material related to non-consensual intimate imagery — to broader concerns about safety guardrails, moderation decisions, and accountability, the situation has sparked serious questions across the tech policy landscape. To help us make sense of what happened and why it matters, we're joined by Kate Ruane, Director of the Free Expression Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology, and Riana Pfefferkorn, Policy Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and a CDT Non-Resident Fellow. Together, they examine what the Grok episode reveals about the mounting pressures facing AI companies, the real-world limits of existing safeguards, and the difficult balancing act between preventing harm and protecting free expression. This conversation explores the evolving responsibilities of AI developers — and what this moment signals for the future of speech, safety, and accountability in an AI-driven world. Produced by Drew Courtney and edited by Jake Kauffman.

In this powerful and heart-opening episode, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Board-Certified Neurosomatic Practitioner and Identity Architect Riana Malia for a deep conversation about what it truly means to live, love, and lead in alignment with who you are now. From her “mermaid energy” roots in Maui to her transformational work with high-achieving women, Riana shares how subconscious patterns, old identity stories, and nervous system conditioning quietly shape our relationships, success, and sense of self. Together, they explore the difference between fixing and receiving, masculine drive and feminine softness, and why clarity—not just positivity—is the real gateway to extraordinary love and fulfillment. Riana breaks down how early-life beliefs become the blueprint for adulthood, how emotional “charge” gets stored in the body, and what it looks like to release what no longer serves so creativity, connection, and possibility can flow again.

So many high-achieving women have mastered strategy, performance, and resilience—yet still feel disconnected from their power, caught in patterns that no longer serve them, or driven by identities they've outgrown. True feminine power doesn't come from doing more or pushing harder; it comes from clarity, self-leadership, and the ability to consciously choose how we show up in the world. In this powerful episode of The Art of Feminine Negotiation, Cindy Watson sits down with Riana Malia to explore Identity, Self-Leadership, and the Neuroscience Behind Feminine Power. Riana Malia is an Identity Architect for High-Achieving Women™, a sought-after speaker, and the visionary creator of the Clear to Create™ Method and Quantum Pattern Protocol™—two transformative frameworks that have helped hundreds of women clear emotional residue, rewire subconscious patterns, and reclaim the love, life, and legacy they were always meant to live.

Together, Cindy and Riana unpack how understanding who you truly are—and how your brain is wired—can radically shift the way you lead, negotiate, and show up in every area of your life.

Together, we unpack: What are the identity levels? The connection between neuroscience, somatics, and feminine power and leadership? How does reframing our self view can change how we negotiate our best life, negotiate success, self-worth, and love. How does somatic and subconscious reprograming can fill the gap? 72 hour transformational process What is Extraordinary Love Index or ELI? And many more!

What if the patterns you keep repeating aren't flaws or bad habits, but survival strategies your body learned long ago?In this episode, I sit down with Riana Malia, a certified Neuro-Somatic practitioner whose work focuses on healing generational trauma through the unconscious mind, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care.Riana shares her powerful personal story of betrayal, loss, and the promise she made to her daughter, that the cycle of trauma would end with her. Together, we explore how the body holds experiences the mind can't always explain, and how unhealed childhood wounds can quietly shape our relationships, choices, and sense of self well into adulthood.We talk about why emotional regulation is the foundation of real change, how trauma responses often disguise themselves as personality traits or self-sabotage, and how Riana used quantum healing to shift lifelong pain, without having to relive every traumatic moment.You'll learn:Why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, even when you “know better”How trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits or self-sabotage What somatic tools actually look like in everyday life, especially when things feel overwhelmingThe difference between emotional awareness and true embodied healingWhy forgiveness is about reclaiming yourself, not excusing harm.What a practical, sustainable healing journey can look like after decades of stored trauma.How trauma-informed personal growth gives your nervous system a new story to followHow understanding your body creates emotional safety and resilienceIf you're carrying pain you can't quite name, or if healing has felt confusing or out of reach, this episode offers a gentler, more embodied way forward.Your body already knows the way. It just needs your attention, patience, and care.Much love,LaurieClick here to fill out my Podcast survey for 2026.Click here to learn about my NEW “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWebsiteConnect with Riana Maliahttps://rianamalia.com/Click here to take Riana's E.L.I.

Are you feeling sick, getting migraines, or experiencing chronic fatigue without knowing why? Your body might be telling you that you're trapped in toxic patterns from unhealed childhood trauma - but there's a proven path to break free and create the love and life you deserve. In this powerful episode, Rebecca Greene interviews Riana Milne, a licensed mental health counselor and relationship coach who has identified the 10 most common childhood traumas that create toxic patterns in adult relationships. Riana shares her groundbreaking research on how unhealed childhood trauma leads to love trauma, and explains her holistic mind-body approach to healing that has helped thousands break generational cycles of dysfunction. From recognizing toxic patterns through physical symptoms to learning the mindset tools for success, this episode provides a comprehensive roadmap for transformation. Riana also shares inspiring stories of her own daughters' successes, demonstrating how positive parenting and mindset work can create extraordinary outcomes. 5 Key Takeaways ➤ Your Body Tells the Truth About Toxic Relationships - Physical symptoms like migraines, stomach issues, chronic fatigue, and sleep problems are often your body's way of responding to constant abuse and trauma in relationships. ➤ The Top 10 Childhood Traumas Create Predictable Adult Patterns - From addiction issues in parents to abandonment, verbal abuse, and sibling dynamics, these traumas show up as jealousy, people-pleasing, impulsivity, or inability to apologize in adult relationships. ➤ Healing Must Address Both Childhood and Love Trauma - Research proves that unhealed childhood trauma causes love trauma as you age, requiring a holistic mind-body approach rather than just medication to treat symptoms. ➤ Consistency Over Time Equals Trust - Whether rebuilding relationships with your children or partner, the mathematical equation for healing is showing up consistently with new behaviors over time to rebuild trust.➤ Mindset Work Creates Extraordinary Success - Teaching children early that they can achieve whatever they dream, combined with positive verbal messaging and spiritual grounding, creates confident adults who can manifest their goals. Powerful Quotes from Riana Milne"You can't change what you don't know, acknowledge or understand. If I could understand it for me, I could help teach my clients.""Create the life you desire, and when you do, you then have the love you deserve.
