Podcasts about The Road Less Traveled

Hey friends! In today's episode of Insights from the Couch, we're exploring one of our favorite (and most handed-out!) psychological models—the Drama Triangle. If you've ever felt stuck in dysfunctional relationship dynamics, unsure why you're constantly the “rescuer,” “victim,” or “persecutor,” this one's for you. We break down how these roles silently fuel relational chaos and emotional suppression—and most importantly, how to get out.We also introduce the Empowerment Triangle, the powerful antidote that helps you reclaim your agency and transform your relationships. We're not here for surface-level chatter—we're all about taking personal responsibility, getting real about what's not working, and building healthier, more honest connections. So grab your coffee and settle in—we're getting real about emotional growth, boundary-setting, and stepping into your truth. Episode Highlights:[0:02] - Welcome to Insights from the Couch and intro to "The Chat" community [1:47] - Why we love teaching the Drama Triangle model [3:24] - Defining the three core roles: victim, rescuer, and persecutor [5:34] - The puppet-master energy of the victim role [7:50] - The shift from victimhood to Creator mindset [10:57] - Personal stories on family dynamics and feeling disempowered [13:19] - How rescuers unknowingly uphold dysfunctional systems [16:33] - Gender, parenting, and the over-functioning rescuer [18:26] - Emotional discomfort and the fear that fuels rescuing [22:46] - The persecutor: the role no one wants but everyone needs [25:07] - Why breaking the triangle means risking being “the bad guy” [27:56] - How emotional suppression drives the Drama Triangle [32:54] - Shifting to the Empowerment Triangle: Creator, Coach, and Challenger [35:51] - Taking personal accountability and validating our feelings [38:24] - The difference between rescuing and coaching with compassion [41:05] - How to offer support without enabling [42:06] - Embracing the Challenger role to live in truth [44:33] - Join our new community space “The Chat” at insightsfromthecouch.org Links & Resources:·         Join the conversation and community at: https://www.insightsfromthecouch.org/the-chat ·         Learn more about the Drama Triangle and Empowerment Triangle: The Power of TED* by David Emerald·         Recommended reading: The Road Less Traveled by M.

Season 4, Episode 7 | “Worry feels like doing something—but it changes nothing.” In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch explore the pervasive grip of worry and its role as a symptom of deeper internal chaos. They challenge the notion that worry is a solution, instead presenting it as a false sense of control over life's inevitable chaos. Through personal stories and historical examples, they illustrate how voluntary discomfort can prepare us to face life's unpredictability with resilience and agency. By embracing discomfort, we can cultivate higher-order skills that transform our response to chaos, moving beyond default reactions to a place of intentional action. Whether you're in the midst of involuntary discomfort or preparing for the storms ahead, this episode invites you to reconsider your relationship with worry and explore a path of proactive growth.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:31 The Nature of Worry04:49 Worry as a Symptom09:35 Order and Chaos13:00 Practicing Discomfort23:50 Facing Involuntary DiscomfortMentions:Nelson Mandela - South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Mentioned in the context of his imprisonment and forgiveness of his oppressors.Daniel Johnston - American singer-songwriter and artist. Mentioned in the context of his song "Worried Shoes" which illustrates the concept of worry.M. Scott Peck - American psychiatrist and author. Mentioned for his book "The Road Less Traveled" and its opening line, "Life is difficult."Seth Godin - American author and former dot com business executive. Mentioned for his idea of "dancing with the whirlwind."Anchor Actions:Practice Voluntary Discomfort: Begin incorporating small acts of voluntary discomfort into your daily routine. This could be as simple as taking a cold shower, fasting intermittently, or engaging in physical exercise when you don't feel like it. These practices build resilience and prepare you for unexpected challenges, enabling you to respond with resourcefulness rather than default worry.Reframe Worry as a Signal: Instead of viewing worry as a problem, see it as a symptom that alerts you to areas where you need to take action. When you feel worry creeping in, pause and identify what it's signaling. Then, take practical steps to address the root cause rather than succumbing to the worry itself.Embrace the Chaos: Accept that life is inherently chaotic and that challenges will arise. Instead of fearing these moments, prepare for them by cultivating a mindset of readiness. Engage in activities that strengthen your mental and emotional fortitude, so when chaos does strike, you can stand firm and navigate it effectively.Never Settle Promo Join Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

A visionary work of music inspired by the real science of our solar system's most enigmatic moons. This multi-movement symphony brings together NASA data, cinematic visuals, and choral grandeur to awaken a deeper curiosity about the universe.

Welcome back to the Grit Meets Growth podcast. This week, we're diving into part two of a conversation we kicked off last episode: removing distractions and getting clear on the path forward. But this time, we're taking it further. Because knowing what to do is one thing… taking action is another. From unexpected clarity and hard decisions to owning both your wins and losses, we're talking about the difference between standing still and stepping forward.This episode is all about tuning into the signs, embracing the hard things, and doing the work—especially when it doesn't feel good in the moment. If you've ever found yourself stuck between where you are and where you want to go, this conversation is for you. Let's go. 5 Key Takeaways from This Episode of Grit Meets Growth:Clarity + Action = MomentumKnowing what to do isn't enough. The real growth happens when you take bold, intentional action—even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient.The Power of PresenceFocusing too far ahead can cause you to miss the signs right in front of you. Tune in, stay present, and be willing to adjust your route as life gives you new direction.Own It All—Wins and LossesExtreme ownership isn't just about taking responsibility for your failures—it's also about owning your victories. Acknowledge your role in your success and use it to fuel your future.Decisions > ChoicesChoices keep you in limbo. Decisions create movement. Decide, commit, and act—because decisions demand action and lead to change.Joy Is a ChoiceDon't wait for happiness to come from a title, achievement, or moment down the road. Bring it into the room. Choose it, carry it, and share it—because it's contagious.One Truth from This Episode:You can't control everything in life—but you are 100% responsible for how you respond, the mindset you bring, and the actions you take.

Send us a textIn the 2000's, there was not a band in Central Kentucky that had quite the cult following as Hooker.  Nearly non stop from 2002 until 2010, Hooker was doing gigs all over to packed houses... opening for the likes of Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton and other who's who of mainstream country music.  The boys mostly from Hodgenville literally grew up with a generation of young folks just like them having their songs sung back to them by packed houses of star struck crowds.   And now, Hooker has recently released their songs on all music platforms and are back to doing shows thanks primarily to a mutual friend -- TJ Downs.  Like the Jake Owen song "I was Jack (you were Diane)", Hooker is now having their fans going back in time!  This episode is perfect timing as Kyle Williamson, Hurley, and Doc sat down with the Bo Brothers to talk about old times and what's in store for Hooker - which we are happy to say includes an August 1st performance in Lebanon during the Lebanon Tourism's Summer Concert Series!  This power packed episode of 2 Shots will take you back to the Hooker Days and have you for sure chomping at the bit for what is bound to be a humongous concert later this Summer!  Also, we had Good Buddies Ray Osborne stop by and say hello which was perfect as Ray was who had the idea of getting Hooker on 2 Shots!

Join us for an engaging episode as we sit down with Madeline Hawthorne, a talented singer-songwriter from Bozeman, Montana, to explore her fascinating journey into the world of music. From her roots in a musical family to transitioning from a liberal arts college student focused on sustainable food and bioenergy systems to a full-time touring musician, Madeline shares the experiences that have shaped her career. She reflects on her limited exposure to popular music during childhood and the pivotal moment of moving to Montana, where witnessing local musicians ignited her passion for performing and through her story, we gain insights into the dedication and resilience required to build a music career, as well as the unexpected paths that can lead to fulfilling one's dreams. In this episode, we also discuss the rejuvenating power of nature and the balance between a demanding touring life and the need for a peaceful home base. We find out how Madeline finds inspiration in the serene beauty of Montana, while living away from major industry hubs presents unique challenges and opportunities. We explore the importance of mental and emotional well-being, highlighting how a supportive band and connections in vibrant cities like Denver contribute to her musical journey. We explore the creative process and personal growth that Madeline experiences as a musician and learn about her songwriting techniques, where she balances spontaneous inspiration with meticulous refinement, and the supportive role her family plays in her career. This episode underscores the importance of trusting one's instincts, embracing growth, and reflecting on life-changing decisions, all while celebrating the joys of following our dreams.

In the average home, you'll find four Bibles. Or more accurately, in some homes there are four Bibles there but good luck finding them. What a shame because the Bible leads us to joy . . . it can keep us from sinning . . . it's full of free counseling . . . it offers hope and freedom . . . and comforts us in affliction. Hopefully you can grab one of your four Bibles as Pastor Greg Laurie leads our study of the Psalms today on A NEW BEGINNING. And for a repeat of today's study, go to harvest.org.

It seems about half the population avoids reading the operating instructions for any new gadget. They call those people “men.” We think it should be self-evident by the knobs and switches. Oh, we read a manual once, must have been translated from the original Swahili. A lot of help that was. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us insight provided by God Himself on how to live the kind of life that pleases God, a life of true fulfillment.
