Creepypasta Scary Story
Today, Kat is joined by Laura Rosinska an experienced Event Exec and the founder of Backstage Wellness for a candid conversation about the habits that saved her life and the reality of thriving with neurodiversity. Laura talks about her journey with late-diagnosed ADHD and autism, confrontation with addiction, and why she founded Backstage to build a more inclusive industry. From cold dips to journaling, Laura shares the micro-habits that helped her reclaim her story, and why genuine connection can be transformative. This is an episode about embracing discomfort, finding your people, and turning your so-called flaws into superpowers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lasting change starts small. Try stacking one simple habit onto another, like journaling for five minutes after your morning coffee, to gently build daily resilience. The most effective solutions to overwhelm and anxiety are often surprisingly easy to learn and use. There are lots of self-regulation techniques for you to try. The company of others, people who make you feel good is powerful. If you struggle with social events seek out inclusive events, especially those that cater for people who don't drink. Lean on community: honest conversations and group support, even a cold-water dip with friends, can transform tough days into sources of strength. Self-awareness is healing. Whether it's a diagnosis or recognising a harmful habit you have isn't about boxing yourself in. It's the opposite, it's your chance to change and move forward. BEST MOMENTS "When you have some self-awareness about the techniques you can use to really self-regulate and slow things down on a real, natural level it's absolutely life changing." "So much of this is just down to our thoughts. I think we are conditioned and taught that our thoughts are us, that they're true." "Doing the training, even breathing exercises, cold water therapy, journaling - just a few steps like that can turn lives around." ABOUT THE GUEST https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurarosinska/ https://backstagewellness.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life' price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship, and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.

What if everything you've been taught about nutrition is not just wrong, but actively harming your health? Cary Kelly's story might make you question your most basic assumptions about food and wellness.Cary grew up in a household religiously following conventional dietary guidelines—low-fat everything, margarine instead of butter, minimal red meat, and plenty of "heart-healthy" grains. Yet by his late 40s, his health was deteriorating rapidly. Chronic inflammation ravaged his body, extra weight accumulated around his middle, and simple activities became painful ordeals. When his arm suddenly went numb during a walk, Cary feared the worst.That frightening episode became his turning point. Desperate for solutions after being told he would simply have to "live with" his conditions, Cary reluctantly tried a new diet that seemed to contradict everything he'd been taught about nutrition. The results were nothing short of miraculous—within just three days, the inflammation that had plagued him for years began to subside. As Cary describes it, "It's like it had been raining inside my body every day for a decade and then, all of a sudden, the sun came out."Now, Cary has distilled his culinary expertise (from 28 years in the restaurant industry) into Carnicopia, a cookbook featuring simple, accessible meat-based recipes anyone can prepare. His approach isn't about perfection—it's about finding what works for your body and challenging the nutritional dogma that may be keeping you sick.Whether you're struggling with chronic inflammation, carrying extra weight that won't budge, or simply curious about why meat-based diets are transforming thousands of lives, Cary's story offers both inspiration and practical guidance. https://healthrecoverywithcarykelly.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkin Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertlufkinmd Bluesky: ...

Speaking from Galilee, she shares her story of growing up on the Lebanese border, surviving ongoing trauma, and transforming resistance into creative practice.

In this powerful Thanksgiving week episode, Jennifer Hadley explores ACIM Lesson 195, "Love is the way I walk in gratitude," revealing how gratitude transforms even our darkest moments. She shares a deeply personal story when heartbreak kept her awake all night and what she discovered. Through vulnerable revelations about her past struggles with murderous rage and revenge fantasies, Jennifer demonstrates how gratitude without comparison lifts us "above the battlefield" and why we cannot wish punishment on others without experiencing it ourselves in this time of "instant karma." She emphasizes that true gratitude makes no exceptions and recognizes our unity with all living things, teaching that when our forgiveness is complete, we'll see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving.

In this special time of the Tales of Recovery Podcast, I sit down with my friend and former megachurch pastor Ryan Meeks and Michelle to talk about his painful, public journey out of evangelical certainty — through theological doubt, cancer, and the slow return to embodiment and intimacy. Together we discuss his new book, the gruesome process of awakening, psychedelics, therapy, community, and the couple's work at Nautilus Integration helping people navigate transformation, relational healing, and spiritual integration rooted in love and presence. You can order his book their https://nautilusintegration.com/ Here are my thoughts on his written story: It is a difficult enough process to get out of, or under the constructions and pressure of cultural upbringing and religion. The questioning, lifting and removing of belief systems is a gruesome, almost pathological fear process in the journey of awakening. This book seemed so personal to me- not just because I know Ryan and Michele, and the fact that they completely opened, supported and held Julio and myself in our journey. To be right alongside and behind them during this process of awakening, doubts, fear, grief, what seems like betrayal, and a deeper longing and connection to our true nature and most of all Love, is a treasure I dearly hold on to. Ryan explains himself in this book with such beauty, compassion and simplicity through this absurdly difficult process. How he walks through it, and then, on the other side writes about the continuous connection to spirit or to the miraculous unknown that is this beautiful mystery that we are and have the opportunity to experience with such compassion and love. Life is a Gift and Love is the point was not only a phenomenal reliving of my last 10 years of processing, growth and settling into my body- but an encouragement to anybody out there who's still in the middle of deciding whether they need to stay under beliefs or become the compost that rebirths, a new breath of understanding how simple life can really be.

In this episode, I break down why the real cheat code in life is finding something you can become obsessed with. Not a hobby, not a side interest — a purpose. I talk about how passion isn't something you magically discover, it's something you build through consistency, curiosity, and doing the work every single day. When you finally find that one thing you're willing to chase with your whole heart, your life gets direction. You stop drifting. You stop comparing. You start moving with intention.I share how obsession has shaped my own life — from music to content to fitness — and why locking in on one purpose can change everything about how you show up. If you're feeling lost, stuck, or like you're searching for meaning, this episode will help you understand why becoming obsessed with something is one of the healthiest, most powerful decisions you can make.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Anne Abel hit an all-time low at 59, she never expected a Bruce Springsteen concert to change her life. After years of battling severe recurrent depression and losing her memory to electroconvulsive therapy, Anne found a spark of hope in Springsteen — a spark that led her to travel alone to Australia for eight concerts in five cities. That trip became the start of a new life filled with courage, creativity, and connection. Now at 72, Anne is a storyteller, author, and social media creator with nearly a million followers, inspiring others to keep going when life feels impossible.

this episode of ORGASMICA I'm joined by Master Effiji Breath practitioner Sara Charmoli for a deeply nourishing conversation on the power of breathing our emotions instead of thinking them.We talk about:Somaticizing emotions through breath how the body can process what the mind cannotAnxiety's “bad reputation” and how it is not the enemy, but a messenger that can be transformedGrief what happens when it gets trapped in the body, and how breath can help release and move itEnergetic blocks and how conscious breathwork can unlock what has been frozen, suppressed or stored for yearsThis episode is a reminder that healing doesn't always happen through words sometimes it happens through breath, sound, movement and surrender.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants to share their journey with others.Today, Joanna sits down with Nolan Wright. When Nolan left home to chase success, it didn't unfold the way anyone expected. What began as ambition quickly collided with addiction, loss, and a desperate search for direction. But somewhere between chaos and clarity, Nolan found a way to rebuild—starting with one decision that changed everything. Now years into recovery, Nolan leads two organizations rooted in connection, purpose, and service. In this conversation, he opens up about redefining success, why freedom matters more than status, and how community became the cornerstone of his healing. This episode is raw, grounded, and full of heart—a reminder that sometimes the hardest detours are the ones that lead us home.NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey.

The Spiritual Practice That Literally Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers The Spiritual Practice That Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers What if the path to real success wasn't money, titles, or material possessions—but the ability to connect with your heart, shift your energy, and live in coherence? In this episode of Richer Soul, Regan Caruthers shares her remarkable journey from Silicon Valley executive to yoga teacher and spiritual guide—and how a daily practice of devotion and gratitude literally saved her life. Key Lessons: Money Doesn't Equal Meaning. Growing up between a wealthy but absent father and a struggling mother, Regan saw firsthand that money doesn't guarantee happiness. We Are Programmed—But We Can Reprogram. From education to cultural conditioning, much of what we believe isn't ours. Regan challenges us to reclaim sovereignty. HeartMath Made Simple. Regan explains coherence: 5/5 breath through the heart while recalling gratitude. This physiological shift unlocks higher reasoning and emotional balance. Listening to the Inner Voice. A trusted inner voice told Regan to return to St. Louis—leading her to the hospital that saved her life. Discipline and Devotion Over Distraction. Phones, screens, and noise steal our attention. Regan reminds us that devotion requires time reclaimed for silence, meditation, and love. Gratitude Shifts Energy. Listing what you're grateful for isn't enough—you must feel it. Embodied gratitude changes your frequency. Eternal Perspective Reframes Fear. Recognizing our divine and eternal nature removes the grip of fear and redefines how we live. Money Learning: Regan Caruthers shares how growing up between extremes of wealth and scarcity taught her that money doesn't guarantee happiness—and that true success comes from coherence, gratitude, and devotion. A former Silicon Valley executive turned spiritual teacher, Regan explains how practices like HeartMath, meditation, and embodied gratitude rewire our inner operating system, helping us move beyond programming, distraction, and fear. Her story—including how listening to an inner voice literally saved her life—reminds us that while money provides security, it is meaning, discipline, and divine connection that create true wealth. Key Takeaway: Success without coherence is empty. True wealth comes from disciplined devotion, daily gratitude, and listening to the inner voice that knows the way. Guest Bio: Regan Caruthers began her path with meditation and Tai Chi at the age of three, but rejected her early training in pursuit of worldly success. She rose quickly as a Silicon Valley corporate executive in educational software, but achievements couldn't heal the brokenness within. Returning to her spiritual roots, she dedicated her life to teaching discipline, devotion, and conscious connection. Today she is the founder of Aset Yoga Center in Missouri, offering one-on-one coaching, yoga classes, and her Ready to Awaken courses.

Today we welcome to the podcast Keira Shae, who joins us to share her story of converting to the LDS Church as a teenager while growing up in an abusive home.Living in Utah, Keira was surrounded by Mormons and idealized them as a contrast to her tumultuous home life. Around the age of fifteen, she went to live with a foster family who required her to follow church guidelines very rigidly. At the time, however, this structured lifestyle was a welcome change from her chaotic upbringing.After marrying and starting a family with a return missionary, Keira did her best to live up to the expectations of being the “perfect” Mormon wife and mother. Over time, though, she found herself struggling with perfectionism, scrupulosity, and the process of discovering her bisexuality.Join us to hear how Keira confronted these challenges and where she stands with the Mormon Church today.You can purchase Keira's memoir, How the Light Gets In here.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

Cory McCray is a journeyman electrician, father of four, and public servant who proudly represents East and Northeast Baltimore in the Maryland State Senate. As the only member of the Maryland General Assembly to have completed a registered apprenticeship, he brings an unwavering commitment to expanding access, uplifting working families, and removing barriers to opportunity. Raised in Baltimore City, Cory's life was transformed through an apprenticeship with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 24. That experience not only gave him a career, but a calling—and led him to invest in real estate as a tool for stabilizing neighborhoods, win elected office, and pass over 100 pieces of legislation aimed at equity and economic mobility. His debut book, The Apprenticeship That Saved My Life, is a blueprint for those navigating the “earn-while-you-learn” path and a call to action for educators, policymakers, and mentors to see the potential in every young person. When he's not in Annapolis or working in the community, you can find Cory cheering on his daughters at track meets / tennis matches or walking his sons into basketball practice—deeply grounded in family, faith, and the future of Baltimore.

Join Sandra for an incredible conversation with fellow afterlife explorer and podcast host, Gary Langley. Gary's life has been a series of profound spiritual encounters, from being awakened by a spirit voice moments before his bed burst into flames, to receiving a clairaudient warning that helped him avoid a head-on car collision. These experiences propelled him on a lifelong journey to understand the greater reality and prove to himself that we are eternal beings. In this episode, Gary shares his most powerful evidential stories, including a stunningly accurate reading with medium Suzanne Wilson and a message from a world-class athlete, delivered by a medium in a room of 150 people, that left him with zero doubt. He also opens up about his own journey through immense grief, including the recent and tragic loss of his beloved dog, Bear, and everything he owned in a devastating house fire. Discover how his deep "knowing" of the afterlife allowed him to move through this tragedy not as a victim, but with a sense of freedom and purpose. This conversation is a masterclass in resilience and the power of shifting your perspective. Learn how to open up to your own intuitive abilities, the importance of being of service, and why finding things to be grateful for every day can completely change your reality. Gary's journey reminds us that even when we lose everything, our connection to Spirit is the one thing that can never be taken away.
