Podcasts about Sass

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground on this Halloween which has roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced SOW in) which marked the end of summer and the harvest and begins the darker half of the year.Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, the Witch of Whidbey.Over these past 6 weeks (as I do every year) I've been retracing in my journal and my memories the pilgrimage I walked on the Camino de Santiago. By this time back then I was leaving Finisterre, Spain bound for uncertain transition and re-entry into life back in the States.        “Look to the Helpers” showed up as the prevailing theme in this year's “trek along the Buen Camino.”  No matter how lost or uncertain, cold, wet, tired, or hungry there was always someone or something to show me the way, the next step. Maybe the Camino's yellow arrow, maybe Camino magic, maybe a stranger - how often we pilgrims relied on the kindness of strangers. In turn, we learned how to give a hand up to one another because Each One Lift One is a lesson the Camino deeply ingrains.Something I've not thought of in decades came to mind as I mused on Helpers. I'd been given a brand new shiny emerald green big girl 2-wheeler bicycle for my 7th birthday. The first I'd ever owned. Now I'd have to learn how to ride it.It was cold that New Jersey February. I remember dad holding the back of the bike seat steadying the bike as I learned to balance, keep it upright, steer down the concrete sidewalk. Once I got the hang of it I peddled a short way, and then a little longer, dad's fingers still on the rear of the bike seat until he let go and there I went wobbling but upright, making my way down the sidewalk. I was riding a 2-wheeler bike!That's been my life from that day to this: testing my balance, falling down 7, getting up 8, gaining confidence. But never alone. The Helpers in my life, always there, holding, steadying, letting go, and watching with pride! There she goes! That's our girl! All attitude, sass, class and adventure ready for what's next.What's next was washing up on the shores of Whidbey Island to become the Witch of Whidbey. Still finding my way, orienting my True North compass, looking to the Helpers.Story Prompt: What about you? How have you traveled Life's roads? Who are your Helpers? Write that story and tell it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Katrin Sass weiß früh, dass sie Schauspielerin werden möchte. Noch als Studentin bekommt die gebürtige Schwerinerin ihre erste Filmrolle und wird bereits 1982 mit dem Silbernen Bären ausgezeichnet. Mit einer offiziellen Erlaubnis besucht sie damals die Preisverleihung im Westen – mit der Folge, dass die Darstellerin zwei Jahre lang keine Angebote mehr erhält. Katrin Sass lässt sich nicht unterkriegen und erkämpft sich Kino- und Fernsehrollen zurück. Die heute 69-Jährige kennt das Schwimmen auf Erfolgswellen, ebenso wie das Gefühl der Ausweglosigkeit: Viele Jahre kämpft die Wahlberlinerin gegen ihre Alkoholsucht. Doch selbst als sie diese besiegt, bleiben die Angebote aus. 2003, mit dem Erfolg von "Good Bye, Lenin!" kommt die Mimin endlich zurück auf die Leinwand. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren begeistert sie ihre Fans als ehemalige Staatsanwältin im ARD-Usedom-Krimi. Worüber sich der Film-Star noch heute richtig aufregen kann und warum es mit ihr nie langweilig wird, möchte 3nach9 im Oktober von Katrin Sass erfahren.

This is the concluding episode of David Wood's horrific story and search for answers to his life-long confusion and turmoil. David is an Australian journalist and copywriter now based in Darwin, Northern Territory. He reached out to me by email after listening to several SASS episodes and recognizing his own story in the voices of others. I was immediately captivated by David's email…which turned into several emails through our ongoing efforts to make this episode happen. The bumps in the road as we struggled to put this together were well worth it for me. And I think you'll also find it well worth it to listen to David's episodes.  I won't spend a lot of time here describing this episode…it's something so powerful and so impactful, you'll just have to listen to it to absorb its phenomenal importance.  There is a previous SASS episode that I mentioned this week regarding Katie Stewart…if you're interested in learning more about Katie and the interesting connections between her story and David's, it is Episode 35.  I also mentioned two books during this episode; one by Dr. Bruce Perry, and the other by concert pianist, James Rhodes. You'll find the links to where you can purchase these books listed below.  If you're a survivor, a loved one, or a professional in the field of investigating or prosecuting sexual assault cases, this conversation is a reminder to keep looking until the story you're told matches the truth you feel. I love how David's through-line is simple and powerful: if the explanations you've been given don't make sense, don't stop. Keep asking better questions. Keep seeking better care. And keep choosing the kind of community that believes you, and  stands with you. An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform. AND, please send me a note of support. I can't tell you how much your emails mean to me—they fuel my passion to keep this podcast going. Here's my email address:   Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me already; and, if you're interested in guesting on the show, please mention that in your email or text, and provide me with a phone number where I can reach you. Please keep those emails and texts coming…I truly look forward to hearing from you! Here are some critically important links that I hope you'll take the time to explore, and where a contribution is requested, please consider doing so!—Thank you!!

Text us a pool question!If you thought pool care was boring, you clearly haven't heard Sarah break it down. This week she dives headfirst into the bubbling, backwashing, beautifully chaotic world of pool chemistry — with zero filters and a full cup of caffeine. It's educational, hilarious, slightly unhinged, and 100% Sarah.She's here to make sure you understand what's really happening in that pool water — why your readings are off, why “shock” isn't a personality type, and why that weird smell isn't chlorine, it's your own bad decisions dissolving in the deep end.In this episode, Sarah covers:Why every pool pro needs to stop treating “chlorine” and “shock” like they're two different life forms.The real deal behind oxidation, sanitation, and why ORP is the pool's version of a mood ring.Test kit interferences that'll make you question your career choices.How pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer all play together (and what happens when they don't).The customer who swore their pool “cleaned itself” — and how that went.Her completely rational rage against people who eyeball chemical doses “by vibe.”Top Sarah-isms from this episode:“If your pool smells like a YMCA locker room, congratulations — you've just invented chloramines!”“It's called a test kit, not a guess kit. Stop pretending you're psychic.”“ORP doesn't measure how much you care, but it definitely shows when you don't.”“Shock is chlorine. Chlorine is shock. It's not algebra, it's pool school — and apparently, I'm the principal now.”“If I had a dollar for every time someone said ‘it looks clear so it's clean,' I'd retire and buy a pool with a lifeguard who never argues with me.”Why you'll love it: This episode is like sitting in chemistry class if your teacher had road rage and a sense of humor. Sarah explains the science in plain English — then yells about it until you'll never forget it again. Equal parts entertainment and education, it's a masterclass in chlorine and chaos.Episode Highlights:

David Wood—an Australian journalist and copywriter now based in Darwin—reached out to me after listening to SASS and recognizing his own story in the voices of others. I was immediately captivated by David's email…which turned into several emails through our ongoing efforts to make this episode happen. The bumps in the road as we struggled to put this together were well worth it for me. And, I think you'll also find it well worth it to listen to David's episodes.  As you'll hear, David, with his ample talent articulating his experiences (which I attribute this to his expert abilities as an experienced professional writer), paints a vivid picture of life in the Northern Territory—crocodiles, cyclones, cattle stations (what we in America call ranches), and monsoonal rains—then opens the door to the harder terrain he's had to cross: decades of depression, shame, and a long search for what was really happening beneath the surface. David's life was shaped by early childhood and adolescent pressure to fit a role, the silence of an emotionally constricted household, and the slow, eventual, collapse that followed: failing out of school, drinking to cope, and repeatedly trying to rebuild. He shares how journalism became both a refuge and a battleground—holding power to account in a frontier city while privately fighting to get out of bed, to think clearly, to simply function. Along the way David describes the independent newspaper company he worked for that took on government blacklisting, the stories that toppled leaders, and the cost of doing that work when your nervous system is already on fire. David's story is not a neat “treatment plan,” but a messy, honest, human journey: forty mental-health professionals, trials that didn't help, medications with harmful tradeoffs, and the painful realization that many answers he'd been given didn't fit his lived reality. David lived through the humiliation of being labeled “treatment-resistant,” the limits of purely cognitive fixes, and the experiences of meditation, a different kind of therapeutic relationship, and a commitment to stop turning away from pain began to move the needle. From my lens, David makes a compelling case for seeing depression and anxiety not as character flaws, but as signals—rooted in love withheld, in stories untold, and in bodies that learned to survive more than they could name. I am particularly appreciative of how David describes how memory works when trauma muddies the timeline, and why shame can masquerade as consent to a life you never chose. But even more amazing is his realization of how a witness—someone who sees you—can become the hinge on which healing turns. David doesn't glamorize suffering; he demystifies it for us. And while doing so, he gives amazing language to what so many male survivors carry in silence: the pressure to perform, the terror of feeling, and the hope that returns—slowly—when you refuse to abandon yourself. If you're a survivor, a loved one, or a professional, this conversation is a reminder to keep looking until the story you're told matches the truth you feel. I love how David's through-line is simple and powerful: if the explanations you've been given don't make sense, don't stop. Keep asking better questions. Keep seeking better care. And keep choosing the kind of community that believes you, and  stands with you. Make sure you tune in next week for Part 2! It's a power culmination of the grit of human pain and healing. You don't want to miss it!! An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform.

In this episode, Amy, Chris, and Sass dive into the importance of connection. God designed us as relational people, wired to know and be known. Yet in the busyness of life, we often miss opportunities to truly connect. We unpack what that looks like in our church, especially as we help kids and teens build meaningful relationships that point them toward a faith in Jesus. But we don't stop there. We also talk about practical ways parents can lead their families toward the kind of connections that give life and strengthen faith. Because in the end, connection isn't just something we occasionally need to do; it's essential to our health and well-being. If we want to see faith grow deep and last long, it makes sense to do everything we can to help families connect.

I had an instant connection with Kirsten Harrison…we had a “vetting” phone call several weeks before we recorded her episode, and I truly wish I had recorded that conversation and made it a part of this weeks' episode so that you could actually hear that connection! Kirsten and her work are truly inspiring and captivating. Read on, if you would: Dr. Kirsten Harrison has dedicated her career to understanding trauma and guiding survivors through some of life's most difficult psychological and spiritual transitions. With research experience at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and advanced studies at Georgetown, Pepperdine, and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Harrison brings a wealth of knowledge and clinical skill to her work. Yet, as she shares in this episode, it is the lived experiences of her clients — their creativity, resilience, and will to survive — that have most profoundly shaped her philosophy and practice. As we talked, Kirsten took the conversation deep into the realities of trauma treatment, including her decades of work with PTSD, dissociation, and near-death experiences. She told me not only about her clinical insight and practices, but also her striking view of humanity, and her approach to healing, emphasizing that it is never linear, nor is it confined to a single framework. Instead, it is forged in the bravery of those willing to confront their trauma and fight for their own transformation. A central part of our discussion centered on her groundbreaking book, I, Sean/a: The Story of a Homeless Intersex Woman Who Inspired a Community. Co-authored with Sean/a Smith, the book chronicles the life of an intersex woman living with schizophrenia who endured nearly two decades of homelessness yet never lost her voice or her hope. Through Sean/a's story, Dr. Harrison exposes the failures of outdated medical practices, the destructive force of stigma, and the radical resilience it takes to survive and inspire change. This episode is an invitation to see trauma, healing, and identity through a wider lens. Dr. Harrison's wisdom and candor challenge us all to confront hard truths while also offering a vision of what is possible when compassion and science meet in service of dignity and justice. I truly hope to continue working with Dr. Harrison on widening both of our platforms!

Lost luggage, sequin bathers, and start-line poses we probably shouldn't attempt… Elise is home from Italy and Alice is back from Portland and Hood to Coast with a LOT to unpack. From field-event fandom at the World Athletics Championships, to Sydney Marathon's debut as a Major, to Elise's short-and-sharp build for New York, this one's part catch-up, part race recap, and part therapy. Spoiler: trail relays are brutal, you can never have enough cowboy-boot shot glasses, and sunglasses at night might be a thing. If this episode made you laugh, crave tomato salads, or impulse buy a sparkly one-piece, share it with a mate, rate/review the pod, and follow along as Elise builds to New York with AB in tow as number one hype gal.  -- This episode is sponsored by Mikro Coffee Roasters.

I denne uges Småt Brændbart taler vi om Sass Larsen, der som Martin forudsagde, har valgt ikke at anke sin sag til Landsretten. Var det overhovedet smart, at de to LA Folketingsmedlemmer i sidste uge gik ud med en kras kritik af skobrandet Roccamore? Nu har Vestres ligestillingsordfører i hvert tilfælde meldt sig på banen med opbakning til Roccamore. I løbet af de sidste måneder,  har vi været vidner til et sandt teaterstykke, hvor den tidligere FCK boss Flemming Østergaard har gang i et lidt særpræget angreb på sin tidligere ven, erhvervsfilosoffen Morten Albæk. Hvad er op og ned i den sag? Martin Martensen-LarsenAnna Thygesen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek brought to you by LMNT, we're joined by Jeff Oliver, better known on trail and online as IBTAT. In addition to building a large following on YouTube and Instagram, IBTAT will be a familiar voice to long-time Backpacker Radio listeners, as he was part of our first season of Trail Correspondents. We dive into IBTAT's story, including his journey to 12 years of sobriety — going from drinking two fifths of liquor a day to cutting alcohol cold turkey overnight, and the dangerous side effects that followed. We also cover his more than 11,000 miles of trekking over the past seven years, including hikes of the Triple Crown trails, the Scottish National Trail, the C&O Canal Towpath, and Sweden's Kungsleden Trail. Lastly, being a talented photographer and videographer, IBTAT shares expert advice on choosing the right camera and capturing quality photos and video during your hikes. Sassafras, Double Dip and I wrap the show with a call for this year's AT thru-hikers to take the 2025 Appalachian Trail Survey, we opine on what the AT will look like in 2035 (and look back at how it's changed over the past decade), we find the precise point at which a walk becomes a hike, Sass and Katie share how they got started in the Outdoor Industry (providing advice and inspiration for those who want to follow in their tracks), and we do the Triple Crown of cooking tips and hacks.

Henrik Sass Larsen er dømt for at besidde store mængder overgrebsmateriale med børn, men frifundet for tiltalen om en børnesexdukke. Han har fra start indrømmet at downloade materialet, men insisteret på, at det skete for at finde sine egne overgrebsmænd. Retten troede ham ikke. Men kan dommen alligevel ses som en lille sejr for den tidligere topminister? Vi spørger retskorrespondent Trine Maria Ilsøe. Vært: Simon Stefanski. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 3. september 2025.

Denne uges Småt Brændbart har fokus på to de to profilerede retssager mod henholdsvis den tidligere toppolitiker Henrik Sass Larsen og den fynske politiassistent, der tidligere er blevet udråbt som en muslimsk betjent, der i den grad har værnet om de danske værdier og stået vagt om det danske retssamfund, der i denne uge er blevet idømt ubetinget fængselsstraf.Vi ved snart ikke, hvor vi skal starte og hvor vi skal slutte med begge sager. Hvorfor gik Sass ud med udtalelser i sin bog og i de interviews, han gav inden retssagen, der senere blev afsløret som løgn i retssagen? Hvorfor gav han en kæmpe undskyld inden retten blev hævet? Og hvad skete der med dukken? Anna overværede den første dag i retssagen mod den muslimske betjent Elvir Abaz og det var noget af et shitshow. Manden blev dømt men det var nærmest mere held end forstand. Hvad handler den sag egentlig om? Martin Martensen-LarsenAnna Thygesen

This week I had the privilege and pleasure of talking with Pastor Michael Neely, a man whose faith, courage, and resilience were tested in living his own personal marriage; that 15-year marriage nearly cost him his life. Michael now channels his pain into advocacy and works to turn churches into safe spaces and mentoring victims who once felt voiceless. And the really awesome part of all of this to me, is that his story is real, raw, gripping, and completely relevant to everything this podcast is about—and it will challenge everything you think you know about abuse, faith, and healing. I'm not going to give away anymore about this episode in these notes. Just know that the episode is worth your time to give it a listen. Additionally, I want to encourage you to put Michael's book on your reading list: Black Eyes and Sweet Talk: A Biblical Perspective on Domestic Violence. Here's the link: You can also reach out to Pastor Michael through his website: or through LinkedIn: An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined once again by Dan Durston. Dan is the man behind Durston Gear, a backpacking gear brand that has exploded in popularity amongst long-distance backpackers over the last handful of years.  Dan gives us the rundown on how his business and life have changed since he was last on the show, when another company was exclusively selling his designs via a third-party manufacturer, including taking a second mortgage out on his house, quitting his job as a biologist, and going all in on slinging packs, tents, and poles to his loyal cult-like following. Dan shares some insights on why he thinks he's developed such a loyal following amongst this community, the struggle of trying to strike a healthy work/life balance, and the challenge of balancing scaling his company while maintaining the hands-on customer service experience his customers have come to expect. Chaunce and I unveil a new segment with Dan- Piranha Pool- where we pitch some of burning backpacking innovations and Dan is forced to invest in either of our ideas on the spot. Sassafras and I wrap the show with the best section hikes on the PCT, we break down our weekend at Cascade Locks for PCT Trail Days, the triple crown of jobs we definitely couldn't do, Sass previews a Trek blog post that angered a lot of the Internet (and why she loved it and agreed with it) and a listener gives us some very important grocery store history.

This week, we're deep in Texas, where the only thing hotter than the sun is the drama! The Hunting Wives has everything: power plays, dirty politics, messy passion, and a crew of frenemies led by Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman. Think Southern charm meets scandalous secrets... with a side of gunfire.But here's the million-dollar question: Is this 8-episode rollercoaster worth your binge or just a Texas-sized trainwreck? We're breaking it all down—the good, the messy, and the real juicy parts.Tune in for a whole lot of drama, laughs, and heated opinions. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

It was an amazing day for me when Johnny Braun sent me a DM on Instagram. It was short, it was succinct, and it made me want to talk to him. Here's what he said: “Hey there Dave, if you're looking for another person to be on your podcast, I'd like to be on an episode. I experienced childhood sexual abuse.” That was it…that's what started an amazing conversation, and my decision to have him as a guest today. I could go on and on about how amazing I know Johnny is. But I think he would rather I tell you about what I know about male sexual assault as a “thing” that needs to be talked about more; because Johnny agrees with me: we need to normalize this conversation. So, here's my short version of what needs to be said, and read, and heard, about male sexual assault and rape:  Sexual assault is often framed in most public discourse as an experience primarily affecting women, which is good and appropriate in a certain lens. But the reality is that men and boys are also profoundly impacted by these crimes—unfortunately, their stories remain drastically underreported and underrecognized. Here's a stat that should shock you: according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), approximately 1 in 6 men in the United States have experienced some form of sexual assault in their lifetime. While female victims often receive the bulk of media attention and resources, male survivors face unique challenges, including societal stigma, shame, and cultural expectations about masculinity that can discourage reporting or seeking help. Johnny knows this personally…all too well. You'll hear him talk about it. When we focus specifically on childhood sexual assault, the numbers are equally sobering…or better put: shocking. Studies indicate that roughly 1 in 6 boys will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. These assaults frequently occur in settings where trust is expected—by family members, coaches, teachers, or other authority figures—and often go unreported for years. Male survivors of childhood sexual abuse are at increased risk of long-term emotional, psychological, and physical consequences, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance misuse, and difficulties with relationships and sexual identity. All of which, again, Johnny talks about.   Despite these alarming statistics, male victims—especially boys—remain largely invisible in conversations about sexual violence. Cultural myths that men cannot be victims, or that male survivors should “tough it out,” do nothing to help, but actually add to the systemic underreporting dilemma. Data from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center shows that only about 1 in 10 male survivors report their assault to law enforcement, compared with 1 in 3 female survivors. This silence is not a reflection of their experiences being less real or less impactful—it is a reflection of societal barriers that must be dismantled. By acknowledging, amplifying, and normalizing male survivors' voices, we can create a safer, more trauma-informed space where all survivors—regardless of gender—are believed, supported, and empowered to heal. And that's another step toward crushing rape culture in our society. Johnny wants his story to be a part of that step. Don't skip this episode. Thank you, Johnny, for your strength in reaching out to me, and for being a guest with me on this show.

151. C Kimberly Toms: From Victimization to Voice—Changing the System C Kimberly Toms. She's a survivor of rape and attempted murder, a filmmaker, writer, and business consultant. In 2013, a hopeful job move to Milwaukee turned into a harrowing ordeal when she was raped and stalked by a U.S. Department of State special agent who eventually also attempted to murder her. For the last 12 years, Kimberly has endured relentless trauma, systemic failures, and intimidation. The absolutely worst experiences, however, inspired advocacy; Kimberly created her documentary Escaping Fed and founded Not Just One, an organization dedicated to empowering survivors and driving systemic change. In this episode, Kimberly bravely and openly shares her journey of rape, survival, resilience, and transformation, highlighting the challenges survivors face and the urgent need for justice system reform. Her story is both deeply personal and profoundly instructive—a testament to courage, advocacy, and the power of speaking out. Kimberly is truly one of us whose goal is to Normalize the Conversation!™ Kimberly encourages my listeners to reach out to her, for a couple of reasons: first, she is asking for feedback on her story and the opportunity to support each other, which is always welcome. Secondly, if you're a victim or survivor of rape or sexual assault and you want to share your story as part of Kimberly's support community, go to the Not Just One website, and contact her!

The importance of this podcast includes the critical component of continuing to amplify the voices of those who've survived the unimaginable. This week, the show marks a significant milestone—Episode 150—and it's only fitting that I have a truly monumental guest, Whitney Vergés. Whitney's story is one of incredible courage as she bravely shares her experience of being drugged and raped. But what makes her journey even more powerful is the context surrounding her assault. Whitney, who has worked in the adult entertainment industry as both a stripper and the manager of the strip club, is the first sex worker to share her story on the Sexual Assault Survivor Stories platform. The stigma and victim-blaming that individuals in the sex industry face often silence them, but Whitney's decision to break that silence speaks volumes. She chose to be here today, sharing her truth, and I am deeply honored to give her the platform to do so. Whitney's hesitation in coming forward was rooted in a fear of judgment, but hearing the stories of others on the SASS Podcast helped her find the courage to step up and speak out. She reflects on how often those in the sex industry are marginalized, making their voices harder to hear. Her raw and vulnerable testimony is a game-changer; one that will resonate with many listeners who may have felt isolated or silenced by societal shame. It's a reminder of the profound impact of sharing our stories—of breaking down barriers, shattering stigmas, and embracing the power of truth. All of this is vitally important to normalizing the conversation, to which Whitney is dedicated! My deepest thanks go to Whitney for her incredible bravery. Not only is she sharing her own pain, but she is also channeling that pain into a mission to help others. Whitney is working towards opening a shelter home for victims and survivors of sexual assault, providing a safe space for healing. Her resilience and commitment to helping others heal is truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that her story will leave a lasting imprint on all who listen. Thank you, Whitney, for your strength, your heart, and your willingness to be here today.

Walleye populations across the Midwest are in trouble and Dr. Greg Sass warns they may be nearing an ecological tipping point. As head of Wisconsin's Escanaba Lake Research Station, Greg is one of North America's leading experts on freshwater fish populations. In this week's Doc Talks Fishing, he reveals why many walleye fisheries aren't bouncing back, and what must change before it's too late. If you care about the future of walleye fishing, you can't afford to miss this urgent and eye-opening conversation.Send us a message

We celebrate the following three things: One, the animist revival currently sweeping the land. Two, a completed book with a tangible publication trajectory. Three, the form of ceremony, with all its diverse manifestations in various cultures, usually simply called shaking, as explicated in Bradford Keeney's book Shaking Medicine: The Healing Power of Ecstatic Movement. We contrast this type of ceremony with a set of tendencies described by Louis Sass in his brilliant work Madness and Modernism: Insanity in the Light of Modern Art, Literature, and Thought. Sass argues that schizophrenia is a limit case—the most extreme manifestation of—perceptual changes experienced by all industrialized peoples. While its manifestations are extremely diverse, he claims the shared foundations of these perceptual changes are social disconnection, lack of agency, and loss of direct immersion in experience, in favor of analyzing experience—a turning of attention to attention itself. We examine how industrialization caused a steep decline in the ritual traditions of rural Europe, and a simultaneous building boom in psychiatric hospitals. If we know the world in three phases—intuition, analysis, and integration of the two—perhaps we can think of pre-modern politics, with qualifications, as the intuitive, and the modern, “scientific” conception of politics as the analytical. All that's left is the synthesis: a return to our bodies and shared reality, with all the wisdom we have gained in the first two phases.

Ariel Sorensen reached deep inside herself to muster the strength and fortitude to reach out to me to find out if she could share her gripping and harrowing tale of her rape and sexual assault during what was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime to South Africa. Ariel and her male companion, strangers in a foreign land, were offered nightly accommodations by an elderly couple they had just met. The couple's generous offer seemed harmless at first, but as Ariel recounts, it was part of a carefully orchestrated manipulation. Things got worse when she was invited to stay in a separate bedroom from her friend, a decision that, in hindsight, proved to be catastrophic. Ariel's is a story of trust betrayed: revealing the devastating reality that grooming tactics aren't just used on children—they can be directed at adults as well.          Ariel's narrative goes beyond the details of the assault itself, exposing us to her emotional aftermath and the challenges of navigating a foreign justice system. She bravely describes the complexities she faced while reporting the crime in South Africa, highlighting the systemic obstacles that many survivors encounter when seeking justice abroad. One of the most impressive elements of Ariel's experience is that she advocated for herself in ways she herself wasn't even aware she could!  And Ariels is another prime example of why I continually emphasize the need for trauma-informed care in these situations, as well as the vital role of support systems in helping survivors begin their healing journey. Throughout this episode, Ariel emphasizes how her story can help others who may have suffered similar experiences. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of raising awareness about grooming tactics and the ways perpetrators manipulate their victims. As Ariel explains, understanding these behaviors is crucial in preventing future assaults and empowering individuals to recognize when they are being manipulated. Plus, her insights into the South African criminal justice system and the healing process offer invaluable lessons not only for survivors but for anyone looking to better understand the complexities of sexual violence. This is an episode full of learning points…start to finish! Ariel's bravery in sharing this painful chapter of her life speaks volumes about the resilience of survivors. Her story shines a light on the emotional, legal, and societal challenges that come with surviving sexual assault, while offering hope and healing to those who have faced similar struggles. I am super-impressed with Ariel's compelling and courageous account; it's prime example of from her journey toward justice and healing, and she joins me in the mission of normalizing the conversation. And she's an awesome example of someone who found out what can happen when you're a victim or survivor of rape or sexual assault and you reach out to me for a platform to tell your story.

text us if...In this month's Spotlight episode, we chat with Michela, who shares with us what it is like to be the mother of child with a rare disease.Most of us have probably never even heard of Hirschsprung's (HIRSH-sproongz) disease, which is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. The condition is present at birth (congenital) as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby's colon. Without these nerve cells stimulating gut muscles to help move contents through the colon, the contents can back up and cause blockages in the bowel, and can be fatal if undetected.Michela's story is so powerful and inspiring and we are very grateful that she took the time to share with us all.If you'd like to send Michela a message, you may reach out to us and we can pass it on.please visit https://www.patreon.com/Sasspod/redeem/1785B to get a free 3 month membership!

148. Dave Markel: Reflections and Impacts This week, since there's not guest again, I want to take a moment to reflect on the growth and impact of the podcast. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support from all my listeners, whose commitment has fueled the show's success and exponential growth. Whether long-time listeners or relatively new to the show, your passion and dedication are what have made SASS what it is today. I also want to emphasize the importance of normalizing the conversation around rape and sexual assault. By creating a safe space for survivors to share their stories, SASS works to remove the stigma and silence that too often surrounds sexual violence. This episode highlights the vital role that all of you play in breaking down barriers, supporting healing journeys, and fostering an environment where these difficult topics can be openly discussed without shame or judgment. Finally, I discuss the significance of becoming trauma-informed, not just for professionals, but for everyone. Understanding the effects of trauma—whether in the workplace, at home, or in our communities—is essential in offering empathy and support. As always, I want to encourage you to continue sharing the podcast to help spread awareness, normalize these crucial conversations, and ensure no survivor feels alone.

Every parent hits that moment — the eye roll, the “you’re so unfair,” the slammed door. It’s the backchat that drives us up the wall. But what if we told you that this so-called “sass” is actually a sign of something good? In today’s episode, Justin and Kylie unpack why backchat is one of the most misunderstood parts of child development — and how you can respond in a way that strengthens your relationship, rather than wrecking it. We share 3 practical mindset shifts and 4 go-to scripts you can use today to turn attitude into connection and cooperation. Yes, even when the sass is strong. KEY POINTS: Backchat is often a clumsy expression of unmet needs — not a sign of defiance Reframing disrespect as a lack of skills (not a lack of values) changes everything Power struggles escalate when we seek control instead of connection Meeting autonomy, relatedness, and competence needs helps reduce pushback Get curious, not furious — especially when emotions are high Four practical scripts help parents respond with connection, not control QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Disrespect often isn’t deliberate — it’s just clumsy communication from a kid who doesn’t yet have the skills to do it better.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: The 3 Basic Psychological Needs: Autonomy, Relatedness, Competence The “Get Curious, Not Furious” principle happyfamilies.com.au for more resources and support ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Reframe backchat as a sign of emotional overwhelm or unmet needs Use validating language like “Sometimes it feels like I’m your enemy, doesn’t it?” Offer autonomy with choices (“I don’t mind when you do it — just have it done by dinner”) Give in fantasy what they can’t have in reality to lighten the moment Use the 3 E’s Script: “Sounds like you’re really frustrated... will you help me see what’s bothering you?” Set boundaries with respect: “I’m going to give you a chance to rethink that and try again in harmony with our values.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
