After 25 years in practice, I've noticed something consistent: when I do soul retrieval work, the most common place to find entanglement is with parents. Sometimes it's literal soul part holding. Sometimes it's outdated maps, control, codependent resourcing, or an adult child who is still being related to as if they're 12. In this episode, I offer a different way of looking at the parent story, especially if you've already done plenty of processing and you can feel yourself looping. I'm not here to tell your heart what to do, or to insist you forgive, reconcile, or maintain contact. I'm interested in one thing: helping you relate to your parents inside your own mind in a way that stops the energy leak and returns you to your center. We'll talk about the cultural storytelling that shaped modern expectations of mothers and fathers, how the nuclear family model intensified pressure on two imperfect humans to be everything, and why rumination can feel like it's helping while quietly keeping you on a hamster wheel. I share pragmatic reframes my guides often suggest. And I'll offer a metaphor that can be surprisingly liberating: if a well doesn't reliably give clean water, you're allowed to stop hauling your bucket there, and build connection with people who can actually meet you now.

In this month of January, the beginning of the New Year, some of us may be looking at our current habits and patterns, returning to practices that have fallen away, reinvigorating activities that have lost luster, and exploring new ways of caring for and connecting with our selves. Journaling might be one of those practices that you are thinking about engaging with -- or perhaps feel like you should do, but don't really want to. In today's episode, lifelong daily journaler Sheryl and never-journaler Victoria talk about the intentions and mindsets behind healthy, helpful journaling; the pitfalls of perfectionism; why Sheryl doesn't use a special, "beautiful" notebook for journaling; and two particular methods that Sheryl suggests for effective, supportive journaling.  References: 10 Percent Happier podcast episode: The Science Of Journaling: How Writing Reduces Overthinking, Rumination, And Anxiety with Dr. James Pennebaker The Country Commonplace Book by Miranda Hills Dear America and Royal Diaries series 10 Percent Happier podcast episode "How to Handle Your Inner Critic," with Amita Schmidt Internal Family Systems therapy Sheryl's book The Wisdom of Anxiety Morning Pages practice from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

“Your brain isn't broken. It's repeating what it's been taught to protect you.”This Earth Xperience explores how anxiety, grief, belief systems, and the body interact, and what healing looks like when we stop fighting our internal experiences and start working with them.Marlin Bonds shares how his work emerged from lived experience rather than theory. The conversation centers on how anxiety, panic, and emotional distress are not personal failures, but learned patterns reinforced by the brain through repetition. Fear is reframed not as something to eliminate, but as information the nervous system is responding to, sometimes too well.The discussion moves through how grief imprints the brain and how repeated thoughts and emotional responses create loops that shape behavior, anticipation, and panic. Marlin explains that the brain's job is protection, not peace, and when belief systems reinforce fear, the body follows. Healing begins when awareness interrupts these loops and repetition is used intentionally to retrain emotional responses.Faith and belief systems are explored as lived frameworks rather than abstract ideas. The episode reflects on how beliefs influence how the brain interprets uncertainty, loss, and purpose. Science and spirituality are not positioned as opposites, but as complementary ways of understanding how humans regulate fear, trust, and resilience.The conversation also touches on purpose and creation. Marlin shares how his work with Hypno Loops was built by listening to patterns in himself and others, then creating tools that support long term nervous system regulation. Healing is presented as a process of consistency, patience, and compassion rather than a single breakthrough moment.Throughout the episode, authenticity remains central. Anxiety and grief are not treated as flaws to hide, but as signals to understand. The body is included in the healing process, not bypassed. The episode invites listeners to reconsider their relationship with their thoughts, emotional responses, and internal narratives.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X in Earth Xperiences represents the unique experience of being human in this body, with this brain, in this season of life. In this episode, the X is the experience of learning how to work with the mind and body instead of against them, with hookmantv.Questions to exploreCan anxiety and grief be retrained rather than eliminated?What role do belief systems play in how the brain responds to fear?How does repetition shape emotional patterns over time?What happens when we stop fighting the body and start listening to it?Can authenticity support healing more effectively than suppression?How do faith and neuroscience intersect in lived experience?How to connect with the creatorYou can learn more about Marlin Bonds and his work in brain training and emotional repetition at hypnoloops.com.

As a new year begins, there is often an unspoken pressure to feel motivated, clear, and already moving forward. But not everyone starts the year feeling strong. Some start stalled. Some start somewhere in between. In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we explore why either way is okay and why what matters most is practicing the space of G.R.A.C.E. Grace is not a process. Grace is a practice. When we feel stalled, old patterns often rush in. Shame. Stigma. Rumination. Past criticisms. Stories that were never ours to carry. None of these support healing or growth. This episode introduces the G.R.A.C.E. practice as a way to move beyond coping and into grounded, compassionate self leadership. In this episode, we explore: • Why starting strong does not eliminate the need for grace • Why starting stalled is not a failure • How shame and past conditioning hijack the nervous system • Why grace is a daily practice, not a checklist The G.R.A.C.E. Practice G Ground Returning to the body and the present moment through sensation and breath. R Recognize Naming what is activated while staying anchored in now. A Allow Giving yourself permission to assess and adjust rather than suppress or react. C Choose Remembering that you have choice and practicing responses ahead of time. E Exit and Emerge Stepping into safety and returning when ready, without rushing or escaping. Whether this year has started strong or stalled, this practice offers a way forward that honors healing, agency, and humanity. If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who may need permission to slow down and offer themselves grace. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond.

In today's episode,we dive deep into mom guilt and rumination—and how shifting our inner world can completely change how we show up for our families, our partners, and ourselves.You'll hear about a big change inside No Guilt Mom (hello, No-Guilt Mom Inner Circle

La culpabilité est omniprésente dans la vie de nombreuses femmes. Cette petite voix intérieure, souvent dure et exigeante, vous souffle que vous n'en faites jamais assez : pas assez au travail, pas assez à la maison, pas assez pour les autres, pas assez pour vous-même. Dans cet épisode Best of du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, décrypte comment la culpabilité s'immisce dans vos choix, influence vos décisions et fragilise votre équilibre de vie, parfois sans même que vous en ayez conscience.La culpabilité peut être visible et assumée, mais elle est le plus souvent inconsciente. Elle devient alors un filtre à travers lequel vous pilotez votre quotidien : vous travaillez plus pour compenser, vous vous imposez des exigences irréalistes, vous renoncez à vos besoins personnels, tout en continuant à vous juger sévèrement. Résultat : même lorsque vous vivez un équilibre de vie que vous avez choisi, celui-ci est pollué par la rumination, la fatigue mentale et une impression persistante de ne jamais être au bon endroit.Dans cet épisode Best of, Jenny vous aide à comprendre pourquoi la culpabilité nuit profondément à votre équilibre, et en quoi elle n'est pas un problème de gestion du temps mais un état d'esprit. Vous découvrirez comment les injonctions sociales, le perfectionnisme et les normes culturelles alimentent ce sentiment, en particulier chez les femmes leaders, mères, entrepreneures ou dirigeantes.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les différentes formes de culpabilité présentes dans votre vie quotidienne.– Comprendre comment la culpabilité influence vos comportements et vos décisions.– Distinguer une culpabilité utile, qui peut devenir un signal de réajustement, d'une culpabilité stérile qui vous épuise.– Vous réaligner avec des choix conscients et assumés pour retrouver un équilibre de vie plus serein.– Remplacer le jugement intérieur par plus de compassion et de confiance en vous.Jenny partage également des exemples concrets de décisions personnelles prises pour retrouver un équilibre aligné, ainsi que des pistes de réflexion pour vous aider à vous délester d'une culpabilité devenue envahissante. Cet épisode est une invitation à reprendre votre pouvoir décisionnel, à faire confiance à vos choix et à accepter que l'équilibre de vie est mouvant, imparfait et profondément personnel.

In this episode of The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, we explore why modern life feels so overwhelming through the lens of evolutionary psychology and neuroscience. I'm joined by clinical psychologist Dr Matt Slavin, and together we discuss how our brains are still wired for survival in an ancient world, not the constant demands, uncertainty, and stimulation of modern society. We explore anxiety, negativity bias, rumination, avoidance, the impact of technology and news, lessons from the pandemic, parenting conversations about death, and how understanding our “ancient brain” can reduce shame and increase compassion. This episode is ideal for aspiring and qualified psychologists, therapists, and anyone interested in mental health, wellbeing, and why distress is a deeply human response rather than a personal failure.Timestamps00:00 – Why our brains are ancient and modern life feels so hard01:08 – We discuss why understanding our evolutionary wiring really matters02:10 – Ancient survival drives and why they clash with modern expectations03:05 – Avoiding discomfort, uncertainty, and why that blocks the life we want05:29 – Maslow, privilege, and how self-actualisation is a modern luxury06:52 – Why our neurobiology hasn't caught up with modern society08:03 – Negativity bias and why our brains are wired to spot danger first09:56 – Rumination, worry, and the exhaustion of a threat-focused mind12:02 – Loss, mortality, and how ancient humans related differently to suffering13:36 – News, technology, and constant activation of our threat systems16:11 – The pandemic as a leveller between clinicians and the people we serve19:42 – Functional contextualism and why behaviour makes sense in context21:22 – Nature-based practice and meeting clients as humans, not hierarchies23:18 – Legacy, meaning, parenting, and what we want to leave behind27:03 – Shame, compassion, and understanding survival strategies in mental health29:51 – Self-awareness, skills, and what really helps people live wellLinks:

This episode breaks down the major misconceptions about ADHD treatment and clarifies what decades of research, major clinical guidelines, and leading experts actually recommend.

Send us a textClick here for Free MasterclassWhy smart, self-aware people get stuck in rumination - and how safety, not more thinking, creates change...Tired of doing everything “right” and still feeling stuck?This episode with Dr Amen Kaur explores a hard truth many capable, self-aware people face: when a sharp, analytical mind tries to heal emotional pain through more thinking, rumination takes over. It feels productive and addictive at times - but research shows it often magnifies negative emotion, narrows perspective, and predicts depression, anxiety, relapse, and stalled healing.If you grew up intelligent, self-reliant, and undertrained in emotional regulation, your brilliance may actually be working against you - not because you're broken, but because your nervous system never learned how to feel safe before solving problems.In this episode, I share the turning point from my own journey- how insight kept piling up while real-life results didn't change and ground it in long-term psychological research. Large-scale longitudinal studies show that rumination predicts the onset of depression (even in people who weren't depressed to begin with), increases anxiety and trauma symptoms, and is linked to poorer outcomes in talk-based therapies when rumination isn't addressed directly.We break down what actually helps: • Why problem-solving fails when the nervous system is dysregulated • How rumination keeps you stuck in defense instead of healing • Why insight alone doesn't create relief • How biological safety restores clarity, context, and forward momentumYou'll learn how compassion interrupts the inner courtroom, why your body—not your thoughts—holds the signal for change, and how to recognize the exact moment to shift from thinking to sensing.We also explore how rumination hijacks attention, causes you to miss real opportunities right in front of you, and keeps highly intelligent people stuck for years - not because nothing changes, but because their system can't perceive change.You'll leave with practical, body-led prompts you can use today:regulate first, name the feeling without judgment, then choose the next small, grounded action.Your mind isn't broken. It's brilliant and overburdened.Give it a safer body to think from, and clarity returns naturally.If this resonates, follow the show, share this episode with someone who overthinks, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

A missing piece of the healing puzzle showed itself when I least expected it… and shadow work pulled up old beliefs about not being enough, and I could suddenly see how often I still traded truth for peace.Triggers return to reveal what's ready to be integrated. Layers only show themselves when we're capable of holding them. Journaling and honest reflection helped me understand what the trigger was trying to teach. You'll hear the exact questions that helped me stop fighting the feeling and start listening to it. Sometimes the next level only appears when the old story knocks again.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:18] Why old triggers return even when you believe the work is done[05:46] What happens when a missing layer of healing finally surfaces[08:33] How shadow work uncovers the deeper story beneath not-enoughness[11:57] The reason familiar dynamics flare when you silence your voice to keep peace[15:42] Why triggers reveal where integration is still needed instead of proving you failed[18:21] How journaling can expose the exact belief running the reaction[21:09] What changes when you ask what lesson is waiting in the discomfort[24:16] How to move forward when you've processed all you can on your ownFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Rumination isn't only an annoyance, it's a predisposing factor for psychopathology. Here are 5 research-backed tips for changing the chronic thought pattern.summaryIn this ep we talk about practical strategies for managing cyclical thoughts. The discussion emphasizes the importance of visualization techniques, cognitive restructuring, and unfortunately self-acceptance, to break the torture of continual negative thinking. We provide actionable tips to help navigate ruminatory patterns and foster a chronically healthier mindset.takeawaysRumination is linked to trauma, anxiety, and depression.Setting a timer for ruminating thoughts can reinforce them through ironic control processes.Visualizing to create your own inhibitory signal can help interrupt negative thought patterns.Mapping the brain's rumintory circuit and tracking inner expeirence through it can aid in managing rumination.Re-calibrating obsessive view of one event within the context of an entire existence can shift attention.Avoid thinking about personal memories or predictions before bed to prevent insomnia.Using "cognitive bridges" can help connect conflicting thoughts so the mind can hold both.Self-forgiveness and esteem are (unfortunately) crucial for overcoming ruminatory thinking.A realistic lens assists with rumination: Life is unpredictable, and we have limited control over events.keywordsrumination, mental health, anxiety, cognitive control, self-acceptance, coping strategies, visualization, brain circuits, insomnia, self-forgiveness, the unpredictable nature of the universe and your realistic place in it

Are your migraines actually a side effect of perfectionism?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores the hidden connection between the pressure to control everything and the body's pain response. Through both neuroscience and Eastern medicine, you'll discover why the relentless drive to “get it right” can quietly keep your nervous system in survival mode.You'll learn:

What if your energy was your greatest resource and you could reclaim it starting today.In this week's episode, we explore energy as currency, how we spend it, where we leak it, and how to call it back home. We talk about the habits, relationships, thoughts, and loops that quietly drain us, and how awareness becomes the moment we take our power back.This conversation is a reminder that everything is energy and the way we direct it shapes our reality. When we stop reliving the past, stop future-tripping, stop overgiving where there is no return, and stop competing with everyone else's highlight reel, we begin creating instead of comparing. We return to the present. We return to ourselves.May this episode serve the woman you are today and the inner girl inside you who was never taught how precious her energy truly is.Key takeaways:Energy is currency. Spend it where it nourishes you.An energy leak is anything that costs more than it gives back.Rumination, regret, and what-ifs drain power from the present moment.Your potential lives only in the now.Competing dilutes energy. Creating amplifies it.When you reclaim your energy, you reclaim your life.Affirmation to close:I honor my energy. I choose where it goes. I reclaim my power, one present moment at a time.Sponsor note:To place your work in front of a powerful, heart centered audience of women, explore Empowering Her sponsorship packages atmelodypourmoradi.com/sponsorship.Find all of Melodys books at www.melodypourmoradi.com/books.Let's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!

Do you feel like you overthink everything as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? That might feel like replaying conversations and worrying about what you said long after the interaction is over; finding decisions hard to make; or second guessing every little thing. So, is this normal for a HSP? Short answer: yes. But why? And what can you do about it? That's precisely what we're exploring in this episode of SelfKind, a podcast for highly sensitive people. In this episode you will hear:  ✨ Why HSPs process things more deeply (and why that can contribute to 'overthinking') ✨ How people-pleasing patterns contribute to rumination ✨ A personal story about my own post-podcast vulnerability spirals ✨ Practical strategies to help you untangle from those overthinking loops ✨ Why this experience can feel so lonely ... and why you're not broken or too much.If you're tired of feeling like you're too much, too sensitive or too indecisive, this episode will help you feel understood, supported, and a little less alone.About your host, Erica WebbErica Webb is a registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach, yoga teacher and highly sensitive person (also diagnosed AuDHD). She supports other highly sensitive and neurodivergent people to discover their sensitivity superpowers and more confidently navigate the tricky bits of being a sensitive person in an often insensitive world.About the Podcast, SelfKindSelfKind is for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) who want to navigate the tricky bits of their sensitivity with more ease while finding their sensitivity superpowers.

'Stop seeing everything so negatively." they say. But the cognitive behaviors underlying depression don't allow it. Let's talk about mental reactions and sticky patterns that outweigh false brightsides. Course!Workbook!Patreon Vid!summaryThis conversation delves into the cognitive basis of depression, focusing on how neural networks, memory games, language, cognitive inhibition inhibition, outdated working memory, and rumination contribute to depressive states. It explores the mechanisms behind cognitive depression, compassionate views for the state of human suffering, and offers strategies for managing depression through attention training and environmental changes.takeawaysNeural networks, schemas, and representations automatically shape our understanding of experiences.Even singular stimulation events can activate depressive schemas, limiting potential perceptions.Memory biases in depression lead to a resonating focus on negative experiences.Over generalized and explicit memories are unique experiences associated with depression.Cognitive inhibition is ironically inhibited during depression.Working memory cannot update with relevant material under depressive spells.Emotional regulation is hindered by cognitive control loss in depression.Rumination causes or exacerbates depression, anxiety, and PTSD due to a negative focus on the self.Automatic reckoning with the human condition may be the cause of many varieties of cognitive disorders.Training attention can redirect focus away from negativity.Ambiguous or negative social environments spark rumination which leads to depression.Changing environments and behaviors can help disrupt negative neural networks.Understanding the cognitive processes behind depression can bolster compassion and help deactivate negative schemas.keywordscognitive depression, memory bias, cognitive inhibition, working memory, overgeneralized memory, semantic memory, rumination, emotional regulation, reappraisal, self-doubt, neural networks

A friend recently asked, “What’s a good episode to start with?” for a basic overview of health and lifestyle optimization. Great question—and honestly, I didn’t have a good answer. So here it is! This show covers the basics from a big-picture perspective—the one to share with friends and loved ones. It’s not sciency or intimidating, just a simple, reasonable framework for how to live a healthy, happy, long life. I hit the five key areas: sleep, diet, movement, fitness, and stress management. You’ll hear why sleep, rest, and recovery are #1—everything flows downstream from there—and how artificial light and digital stimulation after dark wreck your hormones and metabolism. I explain how walking (yes, walking!) delivers a powerful aerobic effect, why sprints give the highest return on investment of any exercise, and how most people are overdoing “chronic cardio.” You’ll learn the simple diet fix of ditching processed junk—refined grains, sugars, and seed oils—and focusing on the nutrient-dense, animal-based foods that fueled human evolution. And we’ll finish with stress management: escaping chronic low-level stress, ending rumination, and carving out real downtime, nature time, and meaningful connection. TIMESTAMPS: Where should you start in your healthier living endeavors? [00:51] The statistics for longevity for the United States population are horrifying. [02:11] Because of artificial light and digital stimulation after dark, most of us throw off our circadian rhythm which prevents us from getting good sleep, rest, recovery, and downtime. Sleep needs to be your number one priority. [04:18] There are many warring factions of people arguing about diet that confuse us. The number one thing you can do to optimize your diet is to start by cleaning up your act and removing the nutrient deficient heavily processed foods from your home. [17:23] In the heavily processed foods, it's the foreign chemical agents that cause inflammation, that cause gut dysfunction and promote obesity above and beyond their calories. [24:59] The visceral fat is especially health destructive because it accumulates in your abdominal area around your vital organs. [27:07] Focus on the ancestral foods: red meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. [29:39] The highest rated category of fish is the oily cold water fish...the SMASH family: sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon, and herring. [38:30] Some restrictive diets cause a stress response in the body. They do help as an intervention, but not as a permanent diet. [43:54] When you are looking at the tremendous number of supplements available, you really have to understand what you are getting. [01:01:32] Have a goal of increasing all forms of general everyday movement in your life. [01:03:48] If you get too extreme into workouts that are medium to difficult, that are slightly too stressful to promote that long-term health benefit, you actually do the opposite [01:10:19] Sprinting is the best workout known to mankind, the highest return on investment of any form of exercise for overall fitness benefits. [01:16:14] You can easily overdo it when it comes to endurance training. [01:23:06] Stressful training diminishes your testosterone. [01:26:05] Stress management is crucial as you look to improve your well-being. We live in very stressful times. [01:29:23] relationships, especially the romantic ones you may have, really need to be smooth functioning. [01:35:05] Rumination has been categorized as a metabolic disease with actual blood markers. [01:37:23] In summary, get good sleep and take breaks during the day. Clean out your food pantry by removing the nutrient-deficient chemically processed foods. Move every day. Adhere to sensible exercise patterns. Don't overdo it. Manage your stress.

Hour 1 -Morning has broken and Jacob & Tejay light up the sports day and get you hurrying on your way. In this segment they talk with the voice of the Wildcats Wyatt Thompson.

Do you ever get stuck in loops of overthinking, rumination, or obsessive thoughts that drain your joy and hijack your peace?This episode is for you.In today's solo teaching, Johanna breaks down a simple yet profoundly transformative tool: the Four Questions of Inquiry, inspired by Byron Katie's book, Loving What Is. This approach helps you untangle painful thoughts, soften emotional resistance, and free your nervous system from constant tension.This practice doesn't bypass your faith or your leadership. Instead, it creates mental clarity, emotional spaciousness, and spiritual receptivity, so you can hear God more clearly and move through life with softness, trust, and inner freedom.Johanna explains how inquiry works step-by-step using real examples, including the thought “I'm doing this wrong” and the everyday frustration of “my husband should pick up his socks.” You'll learn how to recognize the hidden thoughts that keep you tense, reactive, and disconnected, and how to release them so you can return to peace, presence, and feminine receptivity.She also shares how this process ties beautifully into the Heroine's Journey (the path of feminine wholeness), helping you move out of resistance, back into embodiment, and deeper into your divine assignment.Why certain thoughts feel “true” even when they're just mental noiseThe 4 Questions of Inquiry and how to use them with any painful thoughtHow to stop fighting reality, and why acceptance is not passivityThe difference between mental resistance and aligned actionHow rumination disconnects you from your feminine flow and presenceWhy inquiry creates emotional space for God's guidanceHow to use turnarounds to expand perspective and relieve sufferingHow inquiry can be used in relationships, marriage, business, and daily lifeHow inquiry supports the Heroine's Journey: wholeness, embodiment, and inner peace“You can be right or you can be at peace. Which one will you choose?”“Our thoughts are not truth — they're stories. Some lead to freedom, some lead to suffering.”“You can't rush inquiry. It's a softening into truth, not a performance.”“The moment you stop fighting reality, you free up enormous energy to receive what God is giving you.”FREE GIFTS

Rumination can often trap us in a deceptive cycle, where we're endlessly replaying the past, even though it's beyond our power to alter it. It's time to break free from the shadows of past experiences that no longer serve you. Embrace this mindfulness practice as a beacon of light, guiding you towards a place of detachment and peace. By focusing on the present, you can reclaim the power over your thoughts and emotions. Let's embark on this journey together, where each step forward is a step away from the grip of the past and closer to inner harmony and freedom.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/find-your-daily-calm/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values. At 14, he came out as transgender but desisted after 3 years. He has written for The Boston Globe, testified on bills nationwide, has spoken in communities across the country, and been featured in the Daily Mail, Boston Herald, and The Daily Signal.
