Podcasts about savior complex

So many of us grow up believing that love means fixing, managing, or predicting other people. It feels safer to silence our needs than risk being "too much." But what if that survival strategy is actually what keeps us disconnected? In part two of this three part series, Justin and Abi continue their conversation on codependency, sharing how growing up in chaotic homes taught them to avoid vulnerability and chase the illusion of peace. They unpack what happens when we don't know our own needs, why denial keeps us stuck, and how self-awareness becomes the key to real connection. Along the way, they explore how faith often reinforced control and what it looks like to reframe love through trust, autonomy, and compassion. If you've ever felt like your very existence is a burden, or you're exhausted from controlling people in the name of care, this episode will help you find freedom and breathe again.

I have come to see that our bodies know what they need.  By approaching our body with curiosity we can begin to listen to the innate wisdom our body has to teach us.  And that is where the magic happens! Danielle S. Rueb Castillejo: www.wayfindingtherapy.comDanielle (00:06):Welcome to the Arise Podcast, conversations on faith, race, justice, gender, spirituality. We're jumping here and talking about this current moment. We just can't get away from it. There's so much going on, protest kids, walking out of schools, navigating the moment of trauma. Is that really trauma? So I hope you enjoy this conversation with Danielle, Jenny and Rebecca,Rebecca (00:28):A sentence that probably I'm going to record us. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not. But I feel like everyone is, is traumatized, and I'm only using the word traumatized because I don't have a better word to say. I think there's very little time and space to give this well reasoned, well thought out, grounded reaction to everything because there's the threat level is too high. So trying to ground yourself in this kind of environment and feel like you're surefooted about the choices that you're making feels really hard. It is just hard. And I don't say that to invalidate anybody's choice. I say that just to say everything feels like it's just difficult and most things feel like there are impossible choices. I don't know. It just, yeah, it's a crazy maker.Jenny (01:45):I agree with you. And I also feel like it's like we need a new word other than trauma, because Bessel Vander Kott kind of came up with this idea of trauma working with veterans who had gone through the war. We are actively in the war right now. And so what is the impact of our nervous system when we're not going, oh, that's a trauma that happened 10 years ago, 20 years ago, but every single day we're in a nervous system. Overwhelmed. Is there a word for that? What is that that we're experiencing? And maybe trauma works, but it's almost like it doesn't even capture what we're trying to survive right now.Rebecca (02:31):Yes. And even when you just said the idea of nervous system overwhelmed, I wanted to go, is that word even accurate? I have lots of questions for which I don't have any answers, like minute to minute, am I overwhelmed individually? Is my people group overwhelmed? I don't know. But I feel that same sense of, it's hard to put your finger on vocabulary that actually taps into what may or may not be happening minute by minute, hour by hour for someone. Right? There might be this circumstance where you feel, you don't feel overwhelmed. You feel like you could see with startling clarity exactly what is happening and exactly the move you want to make in that space. And 30 seconds later you might feel overwhelmed.Danielle (03:35):I agree. It's such a hot kettle for conflict too. It's like a hot, hot kettle. Anytime it feels like you might be at odds with someone you didn't even know it was coming. You know what I mean? Jude, which just amplifies the moment because then you have, we were talking about you got your nervous system, you got trauma, whatever it is, and then you're trying to get along with people in a hot situation and make decisions. And also you don't want to do things collectively. You just want to, and also then sometimes it needs to be all about this long process, but if ice is banging at your door, you don't have time to have a group talk about whistles. It's just like you can't have a group meeting about it. You know what I'm saying? Right, right.Speaker 2 (04:37):I think if you, and I remember us having this conversation in a total other setting about what's the definition of trauma? Is trauma this event that happens or is it the feeling of your system being overwhelmed or any other host of things? But I think if we think about it from the frame of, are the support systems that I have in place either individually or collectively overwhelmed by a particular moment in time or in history, maybe that's a decent place to start. And what I think is interesting about that is that the black community is having this conversation. We are not overwhelmed. This is not new to us. This whether it's true or fair or not. There's a lot of dialogue in the black community about, we've been here before, and so there is this sense of we may not be overwhelmed in the way that someone else might be. And I still don't know what I think about that, what I feel about that, if that feels true or right or fair or honest. It just feels like that is the reaction that we are having as a collective culture right now. So yeah.It means to be resisting in this moment or taking care of yourself in this moment? Just for you, just for Rebecca. Not for anybody else. Honestly,Rebecca (06:25):I have been in a space of very guarded, very curated information gathering since the night of the election back in November of 2024. So part of my selfcare sort of for the last, I don't know what is that, 18 months or something like that, 15 months or something has been, I take in very little information and I take it in very intentionally and very short burst of amount of time. I'm still scanning headlines, not watching the news, not taking in any information that's probably in any more than about 32nd, 62nd clips because I cannot, I can't do this.(07:38):Someone, Roland Martin who is this sort of member of the Independent Black Press, said this generation is about to get a very up close and personal taste of what it feels like and looks like to live under Jim Crow. And I was scrolling to the puppies, I cannot absorb that sentence seriously, scroll on the Instagram clip because that sentence was, that was it. I was done. I don't even want to hear, I don't want to know what he meant by that. I know what he meant by that, but I don't want to know what he meant by that.(08:36):I a lovely neutral grass cloth, textured, right? The way the light lights off of it be the very little imperfections. It does something to make a space feel really special, but it's still very ated it. Yes. And I would say this is like if you want to try wallpaper, if you don't want the commitment of a large scale pattern just is a great way to go. I think if there's here the jaguar off the top.Danielle (09:16):It's interesting when you pose a question, Rebecca in our chat this morning about white America waking up. The people that I've noticed that have been the most aware for me outside of folks of color have been some of my queer elders, white folks that have been through the marches, have fought for marriage equality, have fought for human dignity, have fought as well, and they're just like, oh shit, we're going, this is all happening again.Rebecca (09:59):I think that that comes, again, a lot of my information these days is coming from social media, but I saw a clip of a podcast, I don't even know what it was, but the podcast was a black male talking to someone who appeared to me to be a white female, but she could have been something else. She didn't exactly name it, but whatever it was they were discussing like the dynamic between men and women in general. And the male who is the host of the podcast asked the female, what gives you the authority as a woman to speak about men and how they do what they do. And her answer was, and I'm going to paraphrase it, the same thing that gives you the authority as a black person to talk about white people, if you are the marginalized or the oppressed, everything there is to know about the oppressor, things about the oppressor that they don't know about themselves because you need to in order to survive. And so that is what qualifies. That was her answer. That's what qualifies me as a woman to speak about men. And when the sentence that you just gave Danielle, that's what I thought about. If you've ever had to actually live on the margins, something about what is happening and about what is coming from experience, you've seen it. You've heard it, you've heard about it. AndDanielle (12:00):I was just thinking about, I was just talking about this yesterday with my editor, how for Latinx community, there was this huge farm workers movement that ran parallel to the what Martin Luther King was doing, the civil rights movement and how they wrote letters and solidarity and Dolores Huta, these people in 90, they're in their nineties. And then there was this period where things I think got a little better and Latinos made, it's like all of that memory in large pockets of the United States, all that movement got erased and traded in for whiteness. And then that's my parents' generation. So my mom not speaking Spanish, raised not to speak Spanish, all these layers of forgetting. And then it's me and my generation and my kids we're like, holy shit, we can't tolerate this shit. That's not okay. And then it's trying to find the memory, where did it go? Why is there a big gap in this historical narrative, in recent memory? Because says Cesar Chavez and all those people, they started doing something because bad things were happening for centuries to our people. But then there's this gap and now we're living, I think post that gap. And I think you see that with the two murderers of Alex Preti were Latinos from the Texas border that had come up from Texas and they're the actual murderers and they unli him. And people are like, what happened? What happened?Are they perpetrating this crime? What does all of this mean? So I think when we talk about this current moment, it just feels so hard to untangle. JustRebecca (14:01):I think you said, I think you said that there was this period where there's all this activism that's parallel to the civil rights movement and then all that disappeared in exchange for whiteness, I think is what you said.(14:23):And if I said, if I heard that incorrectly through my cultural lens, please let me know that. But I think that that phrase is actually really important. I think this notion of what whiteness requires of us and what it requires us to exchange or give up or erase it, is something that we need to meander through real slow. And in this moment, we're talking about people of Latino descent in the United States, but we could easily be talking about any other number of cultural groups. And I have to ask that same question and wrestle with those same answers. And I think I saw recently that, again, this probably could have happened anywhere of a dozen places, some part, somewhere in the country, there's some museum that has to do with African-American history and the markers were being taken down.(15:52):But you can watch it in real actual time, the required eraser of the story. You can watch it in actual time. If you lay a clip of Alex Pertti's murder up against the Play-by-play that came out of the Department of Homeland Security, and you can watch in real time the rewriting of what actually happened. So your sense of there's this gap where the story kind of disappears. What has it been 60 years since the timeframe and history that you're talking about 1960s. It makes me wonder what was on the news in 1960? Where were they? Where and how did they intentionally rewrite the story? Did they erase markers? Did they bury information?Jenny (17:16):Where I have a few thoughts. I'm thinking about my Polish great-grandfather who had an engineering degree, and to my understanding of the family's story, because it's not often told, and he worked in a box factory, not because he wanted to or that's what he was trained for, but in the time that my great grandfather was here, Polish people were not considered white. And even my dad spent most, he spent his childhood, his early childhood, his family was the only not black family in his community. And his nickname was Spooks growing up for his first few years in life because he was the only light-skinned kid in his neighborhood. And then with the GI Bill, Polish people got adopted into whiteness. And that story of culture and community and lineage was also erased. And just the precarity of whiteness that it's like this Overton window that shifts and allows or disallows primarily based on melanin, but not just melanin based on these performances of aligning with white supremacy. And we don't tell these stories because I think going back to nervous systems, I do think,And I don't think a lot of white bodies want to contend with them. And so then we align more with the privileges that being adopted into whiteness floor to ceiling.Rebecca (19:47):You had just finished telling the story with the GI Bill that Polish people got adopted in to whiteness. And that story and that sort of culture, that origin story disappeared off the landscape. And you might not have said the word disappear. That might be my paraphrase.Jenny (20:07):Yeah. And I think on a visceral level, on a nervous system level, white bodies, whatever that means, know that story, whether that story is told or not. And so I think white bodies know we could be Renee, Nicole Goode or Alex Prety any day if we choose not to fall in line with what whiteness expects of us. And I think there are many examples through abolition, through civil rights, through current history, it is not the same magnitude of bodies of color being killed. And white bodies know if I actually give up my white privilege, I'm giving up my white privilege. And that the precarity that whiteness gives or takes away is so flimsy, I think. Or the safety that it gives is so flimsy.Rebecca (21:15):I mean, I agree with you times a thousand about the flimsy ness and the precariousness of whiteness. Say more about the sentence, white bodies know this because if the me wants to go, I don't think they do. So yeah, say more.Jenny (21:41):Well, I will say I don't think it's conscious. I don't think white people are conscious of this, but I think the epigenetic story of what is given up and what is gained by being adopted into whiteness is in our bodies. And I think that that's part of what makes white people so skittish and disembodied and dissociated, is that the ability to fully be human means giving up the supposed safety that we're given in whiteness. And I think our bodies are really wise and there is some self-preservation in that, and that comes to the detriment and further harm because we are then more complicit with the systems of white supremacy.(22:46):That's what I think. I could be wrong. Obviously I'm not every white body, but I know that the first time I heard someone say that to me in my body, I was like, yep, I know that fear. It's never been named, but having someone say white bodies probably know, I was like, yep. I think my body does know. And that's why I've been so complicit and agreeable to whiteness because that gives me safety. What do you think, Rebecca?Rebecca (23:32):I am probably I'm that am the ambivalent about the whole thing, right? Partly I get the framework that you're talking about. I've used the framework myself, this idea that what your body knows and how that forms and shapes how you move in the world and how that can move from one generation to the next epigenetically without you or spiritually without you necessarily having the details of the story. And also, I'm super nervous about this narrative that I'm nervous that the narrative that you're painting will be used as an excuse to step away from accountability and responsibility. And because I think this sort of narcissistic kind of collapse is what tends to happen around whiteness, where you're so buried under the weight of everything that we can't continue the conversation anymore. And this is the whole why we cannot teach actual American history because some white kids somewhere is going to be uncomfortable.(25:04):And so I get it. I got it. And it makes me super nervous about what will be done with that information. And I think I also think that, and this could be that my frame is limited, so I don't want this comment to come off a, but I think there's not enough work around perpetrator categories and buckets. And so where we tend to go with this is that we go, that harm moves you to victim status and then victims get a pass for what they did because they were hurt. There's not enough to me work, there's not enough vocabulary in the public discourse for when that harm made you become a perpetrator of harm as a collective group and as a consistent collective narrative for hundreds of years. And so that makes me nervous too. What I don't want is, and this is I guess part of the same sort of narcissistic collapse is that we go from cows harmed, and I do believe there's significant harm that happens to a person and to a people when they are required to be complicit in their own eraser in order to survive that. I absolutely believe there's massive harm in that. But how do we talk about then that the reaction to that is to become the perpetrator of harm versus the reaction to that is to learn to move through it and heal from it and not become the group that systematically harms someone else. And there's some nuance in there. There's probably all kinds of complexities there, but that's what my head is around all that, what I just said.Danielle (27:18):I have a lot of thoughts about that. I think I would argue that it's a moral injury, meaning? Meaning that the conditioning over time of attachment instead of what I wrote to y'all, the attachment isn't built as an attachment to one another. It was reframed as an attachment to hierarchy or system. And therefore for a long time, you have a general population of people that don't have a secure attachment to a caregiver, to people that it's been outsourced to power, basically a church system or a government system that's protecting them versus a family and a community, their culture. And in that you have a lot of ruptures and it leaves a lot of space. If your attachment is to power versus belonging to one another, you're going to do a lot of violent damage. And I would argue that that's a repeating perpetrating wound in the collective white society, that attachment to power versus attachment to community.(28:48):That's what I think. I could be wrong, but that's what I've been writing about.Rebecca (28:56):That's a pretty brilliant application of individual attachment theory to collective identity and yeah, that's pretty brilliant actually.(29:09):That's a very nuanced way to talk about what happens in that exchange of a cultural identity for access to the category. White is to say that you advertise to community and family and you tether and attach yourself to power structures, and then you hold on for dear life.Danielle (29:32):You can see it playing out across the nation. It's not that republicans and evangelicals aren't, they're actually arguing against an attachment to community and belonging and saying, we can do these things because we have power now and we're attached to that power. Jesus. They're not attached, I would argue. They're not attached to Jesus either.Rebecca (30:00):Now you want to start a whole fight. How is that attachment structure that you're identifying? And I'm going to steal that by the way, and I will quote you when I steal it. How is that a moral injury?Danielle (30:18):Well, for me, immoral injury is like someone who goes to war or goes into a battle or goes into a situation and you, at some point, someone consciously violates what they know is right or wrong. And so someone took a whole boat over here, a whole journey to do that. So even the journey itself, there's no way, it doesn't matter if they didn't have social media. It doesn't matter if the pilgrims of whatever we want to call them, colonizers didn't know what was here. They know that on lands there are people, and in that journey, they had a decision that was separating themselves saying, when I get there, I deserve that land no matter what's there. So they had all, I don't know how many months it takes to sail across the sea. It was like a month or a couple months or something. You have all that time of a people becoming another kind of people. I think(31:25):That's what I think. You talk about the transatlantic slave trade and that crossing of the water. I think in some ways white people put themselves through that and there's no way, I don't know a lot of ways to explain a complete detachment from morality, but there's something in that passageway that does it for Yeah,Rebecca (31:51):I get it. I mean, you're talking about maybe even on the pilgrim ship that landed in Jamestown passage. But(32:02):If you read, I saw this in a book written by an author by the name of Jamar Tis. He's talking about the earlier colonial days in the United States, and he's talking about how there's a series of letters that he recounts in the book. And so there's this man that is making the journey from England to the colonies, and he professes to be a missionary of Christianity. And what he's discussing in these letters is sort of the crisis of faith that if I get here and I proselytize someone that I encounter a Native American or an enslaved African I do in their conversion to Christianity, am I compelled to grant them their freedom(33:04):And the series of letters that are back and forth between this man and whoever he's conversing with on the con, and you'll have to read his book to get all the historical details. They basically have this open debate in the governing days of the colony. And the answer to the question that they arrive at both legally and religiously or spiritually is, no, I do not. Right? And whatever it is that you had to do to yourself, your faith, your understanding of people to arrive at the answer no to that question feels to me like that moral injury that you're talking about.(34:07):Cardiovascular system powers, everything we do.Jenny (34:10):I mean, it makes me think, Danielle knows that this is one of the few Bible verses that I will always quote nowadays is Jesus saying, what good is it for someone to gain the world and lose their soul? And I see that as a journey of forfeiting. Whatever this thing we want to call the soul might be for power and privilege.Rebecca (34:42):It reminds me of my kids were young and we were having a conversation at the dinner table and something had happened. I think there might've been a discussion about something in the history class that opened my kids' eyes to the nature of racism in the United States. And one of my children asked me, doesn't that mean that we're better than them?(35:17):And as vehemently as I could answer him, I was like, absolutely not. No, it does not. It does not mean that, right? Because you feel that line and that edge for a kid, a fourth grader who's learning history for the first time and that edge that would push them over into this place of dehumanizing someone else, even if it's the proverbial they and my insistence as his mother, we don't do that and we're not going to do that. And no, it does not mean that. And my whole thing was just, I cannot have you dehumanize an entire group of people. I can't, I'm not raising kids who do that. We're not doing that. Right. Which is back to Michelle Obama saying when they go low, right?Rebecca (36:37):It is that sense of that invitation to a moral injury, that invitation to violate the inherent value of another human being that you have to say, I'm not doing that. I refuse to do thatJenny (37:18):I know I'm a few years late and watching this movie, but I just watched the Shape of Water. Have you ever seen it(37:26):And there's this line in it where they're debating whether or not to save this being, and the man says it's not even human. And she says, if we don't do something, then neither are we. And this really does feel like a fight for my humanity for what does it look like to reject dehumanization of entire people groups as much as I even want to do that with ice agents right now, and things like that that make it so hard to not put people in these buckets. And how do I fight for my own humanity and willingness to see people as harmful and difficult as they may be as sovereign beings, and what potentials can come if we work to create a world that doesn't split people into binaries of victim or perpetrator, but make space for reparative justice? I don't know.Rebecca (38:58):You used the phrase reparative justice, and my thought was like, I don't even know what that is. Trying to even conceptualize any sense of that in this moment is, I mean, again, I heard a podcast of this some white man who I think is probably famous, but it's not in a cultural circle that I run in, not this race, but however he is major Trump supporter publicly in his celebrity is a Trump supporter. And he's talking on the podcast about how watching what has happened with ICE the last couple weeks has changed his perspective that he feels like it's this tipping point in his sentiment that I didn't think things like this were possible in America. And now they are. And the person that he's talking to is a black man who's pissed that you even are saying the sentence, I didn't think this was possible.(40:04):Pissed in a way of, we've been telling you this shit for 400 years, excuse my French, you can edit that out and you didn't listen. And if you had listened, we might not actually be here in this moment. And so even that conversation to me feels like attempting to do something of repair in some capacity. And you can feel the two people that are trying to engage each other just be like, I mean, you can feel how they're trying. They're sitting in the room, they're talking, they're leaving space for each other to finish their sentence and finish their thought. And you still just want to go, I want to beat the shit out of you. And I am sure they both felt that way at different moments in the conversation. So yeah,Danielle (41:12):We were in the I know. Because it's all like, I know there's all that we talk about, and then when we walk off the screen, when we get into the world, I know Rebecca, you mentioned someone got stopped at a checkpoint or my kids marching around town or Jenny, I know you're out in the wilds of Florida or wherever. I just(41:38):Yeah. Yeah. I just think there's all of this we talk about, and then there's the live daily reality too, of how it actually plays out for us in different ways. Yeah. Now I saw you take a breath. Yeah.Rebecca (41:59):Do they feel like really disconnected?(42:19):I actually think this conversation, I think, and I don't mean this one, I mean this sort of ongoing space that we inhabit in each other's lives is actually a pretty defiant response. I think there's every invitation for us to be like, see, when I see you,(43:03):I know that you some stuff going on personally, and you picked up the phone and called me the other night, Danielle, just to say, I'm just checking on you. And I was like, crap. Right. I mean, with everything that I know that you have going on both collectively and personally for you to pick up the phone and call me and go like, I'm just checking on you.(43:41):Right? But there's this swirl of, there's a whole conversation the black community is having with the Latino community right now that is some version of, screw this. And you, we not we're, it's not entirely adversarial, but it's not entirely we're doing this dance around each other right now that you could have easily just have been like, I'll talk to you in 27. You could easily have been like, I have too much going on that can't actually tend to this. Whatever it is that you heard in my voice or read on my face that made you call me, you could have chosen not to and you didn't. And that's not small.Danielle (44:49):Yeah. Thanks for saying that. I really do believe love is bigger than all of what we say is the hate and the crimes against us. I really do believe every day we wake up and we get to be the best. We get to do the best we can. Jenny,Jenny (45:26):I just feel very grateful to know you both. Yeah. I think this to me is part of what fighting for our humanity looks like and feels like in the midst of systems, creating separation of who we should or shouldn't commune with and be with. And I just feel very grateful that I get to commune and be with both of you.Danielle (46:18):Oh, good question. Do you ever feel like you're your own coach? So I have the Danielle that's like sometimes I get into trouble that Danielle, and then there's also the part of me that's like, you can do it. You got this, you got it. You can do it, so you're going to make it. So I got the coach. I had to bring her out a little bit more later lately. Also, just like I just got back from watching my kids do this walkout and man, just hearing them scream the F word and jumping around town, blowing whistles and being wild, it just made me, I feel so happy. I'm like, oh, we're doing something right. The kids, they're going to be okay. They know. So I think just I've really tried to just focus on my family and my off time. Yeah, that's kept me going. What about you two?Jenny (47:31):I have been doing standup comedy, open mic nights in Pensacola.(47:40):And it has been a very nice place for me to release my healthy aggression. Aside from the hosts, I've pretty much been the only woman there. And most of the comedians are racist and sexist, and I get up and give lectures basically. And I've been really enjoying that. It has been a good way of off-gassing and being defiant and giving me some sense of fight, which I've liked to, that has been self-care for me.Rebecca (48:30):I would probably say, actually I had to, I have this elliptical, one of those under the desk kind of pedal thingies that, and the other night I had to get on it. I feel like my whole inside was just racing, but then on the outside, I'm just sitting here, all right. And I was like, I have got to get whatever this is out of me. So there was this moment where, and it took probably 15 minutes for my body to actually start to exhale and for my breathing to kind of normalize. And that isn't because I was exerting so much energy. It took that long of just moving to get whatever it is out of me. And then also, I had this really, really great moment with my son, how you're saying, Danielle, that your kids, and then you feel like, oh, they're going to be fine. He was watching a documentary or he is watching a movie, some movie about black history, what he does. And the movie referenced this written communication between two slave traitors, one of whom was in the United States and the other one who was in the Caribbean. And they were discussing how to basically break the psyche of a person so they would remain in slavery,(50:15):Which is a crazy sentence to say, but literally they're discussing it back and forth. They're talking about how you bake a cake. And my son read it, and then he came and sat next to me and he was like, did you know about this? Not about the letter itself, the letters, but about the content in them. He was like, did you know this is what they think about us? Did. These are the things that they say and do that are purposely designed to mess with our psyche. And it just spawned this really great conversation for an hour about all kinds of things that made me go, he's going to be all right. In the sense of where I ended up, where I ended up going as his mom was like, yes, I knew. And now the fact that I raised you to do this, or I raised you to do that, or I taught you this or that, or I kept you from this or that. Does that make sense now? And then, yeah, it was just actually a very sweet conversation actually.Danielle (51:38):I love that. I do too. It's been real.   Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

And neither do you.In this episode you'll learn: ✨ Why the holidays activate old survival patterns ✨ How rescuing creates self-betrayal (even when it feels loving) ✨ What it looks like to stop managing everyone else's feelings ✨ How to support your kids without over-functioning ✨ Nervous-system resets you can use at holiday gatherings ✨ Permission to do less — without guilt, shame, or burnoutIf this hits a little too close to home, it's not a coincidence.

You've heard those shimmering disco strings in Miley Cyrus's "Flowers," the cinematic arrangements on Phoebe Bridgers' Punisher, and the orchestral flourishes across Taylor Swift's catalog, but you probably didn't know they're all the work of one person: Rob Moose. The violinist and multi-instrumentalist has contributed to nearly 1,000 albums, quietly becoming pop music's most prolific string architect. In this conversation, Moose reveals how he translates classical training into contemporary pop language, working with everyone from Sufjan Stevens to Bon Iver to create arrangements that feel both intimate and epic. We dive into his process, explore how he's reshaped what strings can do in popular music, and uncover the craft behind those arrangements you can't get out of your head.

Recurring setbacks aren't just bad luck or poor discipline, but a subconscious program running on autopilot. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam unpacks the psychological “loop” , a hidden, recurring pattern that drives cycles of success followed by collapse across all aspects of life. These loops are not random. They are encoded into your unconscious through early childhood imprinting, social conditioning, and generational trauma. Without realizing it, most people repeat the same emotional cycles such as overworking only to burn out or attracting the same toxic partners, but there is a way out. William reveals how to diagnose your personal loop, decode the secondary emotional gains behind it, and reprogram your subconscious mind from a win/lose or pain/pleasure cycle into a “win or win more” reality. He introduces two powerful tools, the Loop Quiz and the 7-Day Sprint, to help you uncover your loop and permanently break free.Whether you're an entrepreneur, a high performer, or someone ready to stop reliving the same frustrations year after year, this episode offers a transformative roadmap to reclaiming agency over your lifeChapters:(00:00) Introduction(00:49)The Success Failure Loop (02:03) Success Crash Scenarios (06:48) Relationship Loops and Toxic Patterns(20:41) Repeating Relationship Cycles Explained(25:56) The Savior Complex(27:47) Health and Fitness Motivation Loops(31:07) Awareness, Reprogramming, and Next StepsLearn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upgrd.comFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theupgrd

This episode of "Words F*cking Matter," is a masterclass in conscious language, radical responsibility, and what it really means to heal and grow one word at a time. In this bold and unscripted episode, Army Veteran and author Andy Weins drops truth bombs that will challenge everything you think you know about language, healing, and accountability. Andy doesn't tiptoe around transformation—mid‑show, he flips the script and calls ME out for using his so‑called “sh*t words,” exposing how my language was quietly sabotaging my own growth. He believes (and proves) that words f*cking matter—words like “if," "but,” “should,” “easy,” “can't." These might sound harmless, but they carry weight. They limit our choices, muddy our intentions, and keep us stuck in cycles of blame, avoidance, and ego. If you've ever said “I just don't know how” or “It's too hard”—this episode is your mirror and your medicine. Bring your notebook, bring your humility, and bring your willingness to grow so you can rewrite your story—one word at a time.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a psychological trap (Amazon Affiliate) that many first responders unknowingly fall into—the ‘Hero Complex' (Amazon Affiliate). The rush of saving lives, solving crises, and being the one everyone depends on can become addictive for some officers. When taken too far, this “Savior Complex” can cloud judgment, damage personal relationships, and even put officers in unnecessary danger. But what are the warning signs of a Hero Complex, and how can officers stay grounded while still doing their jobs effectively? This episode breaks it down with real examples, warning signs, and practical strategies to maintain balance. 1. What is the Hero Complex? The Hero Complex is a psychological mindset where someone feels compelled to always be the rescuer—even when it's not needed or appropriate. Some officers become emotionally dependent on feeling like the "savior," which can cause burnout, relationship issues, and risky decision-making. While law enforcement requires courage and intervention, the need to constantly "save the day" can create problems on and off duty. 2. Five Signs an Officer Might Have the Hero Complex (With Examples) 1. Taking Unnecessary Risks Example: An officer rushes into a dangerous situation alone instead of waiting for backup. Why It's Harmful: Ignoring safety procedures endangers themselves and others in the pursuit of being the “hero.” How to Avoid It: Trust your team and follow proper tactics—policing is about strategy, not reckless bravery. 2. Struggling with Boundaries in Personal Relationships Example: Off duty, they always try to “fix” their spouse's problems instead of listening or offering support. Why It's Harmful: Constantly taking on emotional burdens that aren't theirs can lead to resentment and relationship strain. How to Avoid It: Learn when to be supportive vs. taking over. Not every problem requires you to step in as the fixer. 3. Feeling Useless When Not in Crisis Mode Example: A cop who struggles to relax on vacation or feels aimless when they're not on shift. Why It's Harmful: When someone's identity is entirely tied to being “needed” in emergencies, they may feel lost in everyday life. How to Avoid It: Develop interests, hobbies, and personal goals outside of work so that self-worth isn't solely based on the job. 4. Ignoring Mental and Physical Health Example: Officers work excessive overtime, skip doctor's visits, and don't address trauma because they “don't have time” or feel like help is for others, not them. Why It's Harmful: Neglecting self-care leads to burnout, poor judgment, and long-term health issues. How to Avoid It: Make wellness a priority—taking care of yourself ensures you can continue helping others long-term. 5. Difficulty Accepting Help from Others Example: An officer refuses to let their spouse, friends, or even fellow officers help them when they're struggling. Why It's Harmful: Shutting people out creates emotional distance and makes it harder to handle personal and job-related stress. How to Avoid It: Understand that strong leaders accept help—relying on others is not a sign of weakness. 3. How to Stay Grounded Without Losing Your Passion for the Job 1. Shift the Mindset from ‘Hero' to ‘Protector' Instead of feeling like you need to “save the day,” focus on teamwork and long-term impact. Example: Good officers protect and serve responsibly—not recklessly. 2. Set Work-Life Boundaries Avoid making law enforcement your entire identity. Example: Take off the uniform and engage in family time, hobbies, or faith-based activities to balance your mindset. 3. Train for Situational Awareness, Not Adrenaline Rushes Some officers start craving high-intensity calls and take unnecessary risks. Example: Instead of chasing action, train your decision-making skills so that you respond effectively instead of impulsively. 4. Seek Mentorship and Honest Feedback Ask a trusted mentor, “Do you think I take unnecessary risks or try too hard to control situations?” Example: Leaders should be open to feedback that helps them stay level-headed and focused. 5. Recognize When You Need a Reset If you feel drained, resentful, or disconnected, take a step back. Example: Whether it's a short break, therapy, or spiritual reflection, resetting helps maintain a healthy mindset. 4. Why This Matters Having the courage to step up in critical situations is a vital part of being a first responder. But when the need to always be the hero takes over, it can cause more harm than good. By recognizing the signs of a Hero Complex and implementing strategies to stay grounded, officers can continue serving effectively—without sacrificing their health, relationships, or judgment. Listen now to learn how to lead with confidence, serve responsibly, and stay mentally strong!

From the frustrations of systemic inefficiencies to personal boundaries, this episode will help you reflect on how you respond to healthcare-related stress—and how to make intentional choices that protect your well-being while still contributing to change. Healthcare is an incredibly human profession, full of complexity and challenge. Do you jump into collective suffering? Are you overwhelmed by the anger, frustration, and outrage surrounding healthcare issues? Learn how to step back and assess whether you're taking on more than you need to. Do you have the Savior Complex?  Do you feel responsible for fixing everything, from patient care to systemic issues? You can learn to manage your capacity and avoid burnout while still being an advocate for change. How much healthcare "drama" can you hold in your life without compromising your mental and emotional well-being? It's crucial to know what you can manage and when to step back. In healthcare, both with colleagues and patients, practice mindful communication—asking good questions, being curious, and resisting judgment. It can make all the difference in improving the patient experience. What's reasonable for you to take on, both in your professional and personal life? It's okay to acknowledge systemic problems without internalizing them. Can you accept the current state of healthcare without allowing it to consume you? Can you be curious about your feelings and reactions, and focus on how you can respond with intention rather than getting caught in blame or shame? Can you stop internalizing and owning every inefficiency and systemic flaw and remember that they don't reflect your abilities or worth as a physician? What would be different if you stayed in your own lane -- focusing on what you can control - being present with your patients, communicating effectively with colleagues, or managing your own mental health? Could you stop internalizing and owning every inefficiency and systemic flaw?  They don't reflect your abilities or worth. Reflection Questions: What's your role in the healthcare system, and where is it appropriate to set boundaries? How much of the collective healthcare suffering are you taking on? How do you stay compassionate while not overextending yourself? When was the last time you celebrated something that went well in the healthcare system? How can you practice non-judgment and curiosity in your day-to-day interactions with patients and colleagues? Reminder: The content of this podcast is not medical or life advice.

In one painful situation, I coached a troubled friend, and it caused a rift that took years to heal.It can look like this … You perceive that someone is struggling and believe they “need” coaching. The belief that someone NEEDS coaching and the subsequent longing are signs to reign in the impulse to coach. It comes down to this — to coach ethically, you and the person you are coaching must step consciously into the co-creative role and, later, step fully out of it. That's why coaching is best done in a professional relationship with a paying client where consent is explicit.Wanting too much for your clients is a similar challenge.

Ever wondered if our technological advancements are truly making life better or just more complicated? Join Alex of the Human Nature Odyssey podcast and me as we kickstart our return with a whirlwind of reflections beginning with our reminiscing about the hands-on expertise of past generations ... contrasting true ability with the digital era.The metaphor of the Tower of Babel serves as a philosophical lens through which we examine civilization's complexities and our relationship with technology. Are we building a society without understanding its true purpose, and how does this impact our local engagements? Alex and I also reimagine classic narratives, pondering if true heroism lies not in saving the world, but in developing a reciprocal relationship with nature and ourselves. This is a candid exploration of humanity's environmental role, challenging the notion that we're merely defenders of a world in peril.Inspired by Daniel Quinn's “Ishmael,” our conversation turns to humanity's impact on Earth, from ancient health paradigms to modern civilization's paradoxes. The conversation dives into embracing diverse worldviews, especially indigenous perspectives, and exploring the cultural narratives shaping our interactions with nature.Pre-Order my novel, The Plain of Pillars HERE.Learn more about Alex and his podcast HERE.

" You cannot possess people, you can only experience them.”Hey LTTA Fam! This week, I shared how a hurtful argument with my sister sparked an epiphany that changed our relationship forever. She constantly teaches me that what I want for others and what they want for themselves doesn't always align. I learned the importance of showing up like a SISTER instead of a MOTHER and I had to take accountability for being controlling, even if it was rooted in love. You can expect to hear:(4:00) The moment I realized that I am a sibling, and NOT a parent (8:00) The text message exchange that resulted in the silent treatment for weeks(9:00) The importance of letting people FEEL their emotions vs. FIXING their emotions(12:00) The moment I realized “OMG, I'm controlling” (15:00) UNTETHERING my identity with the Savior Complex(17:00) Learning to ask someone “How do you need me to show up for you in this stage of your life”(20:00) The impact my public platform has on my sister's privacy (23:20) “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” - Mathew 7:3 Hope this episode inspires you to restructure any relationships you thought about while listening to this week's episode.

Send us a textIn this raw, unedited episode of Not Well, Bobby and Jim dive into an assortment of personal, humorous, and thought-provoking topics. The episode starts with Bobby revealing a recent life decision: he got Botox for the first time, leading to a lighthearted and detailed discussion about beauty treatments, anti-aging, and skincare routines. Jim shares his own skincare journey, discussing the importance of moisturizing and his use of specific products. They both laugh about how these routines have slowly taken over their lives, from feeling “glowy” to the pressures of having a regular skincare regimen.From there, the conversation shifts to body image issues, where they talk about how societal standards of beauty—especially in the queer community—can make people feel the need to constantly enhance their appearance. They poke fun at their own obsessions with staying youthful and looking “perfect,” but the humor doesn't stop the underlying message of the pressures gay men face around body image.Next, the pair turns their attention to one of Bobby's upcoming trips to Kansas City, where he plans to explore the local gay scene. They speculate about what to expect, from seedy clubs to potential hookups, while blending humor and anticipation about this Midwest gay adventure.The conversation takes a more critical turn when they discuss the problematic nature of mission trips, describing them as outdated and patronizing. They criticize how people go on these trips under the guise of “helping,” but really, they do more harm than good by reinforcing colonialist mindsets and doing little to create lasting change.The discussion circles back to modern-day internet habits, particularly their annoyance with clickbait culture. Bobby explains his frustration with being misled by sensationalist YouTube thumbnails and exaggerated headlines.

*Patron-only Bonus Episode Teaser* Chelsea interviews Jackie Jesko, director of the HBO documentary "Savior Complex," and one of Chelsea's favorite docs of the past year. Chelsea asks Jackie her pressing questions about Renee Bach, a missionary whose attempts to provide medical care in Uganda led to accusations of murder and tragic consequences. Chelsea and Jackie unpack the ethical complexities of missionary work, the pervasive influence of white saviorism, the role social media plays in shaping activism today, and how Jackie was able to show a masterful level of nuance in such a complicated story.  Where to order Chelsea's book: Bookshop.org Find other places to pre-order Follow Chelsea: Instagram @chelseadevantez Join the cookie community: Become a member of the Patreon Show Notes: Savior Complex trailer No White Saviors Instagram post on Savior Complex The spectacular implosion of Instagram's No White Saviors Where to find our Guests: Jackie Jesko Website Instagram *** Glamorous Trash is all about going high and low at the same time— Glam and Trash.

Once we awaken we tend to have heightened awareness towards not only our own patterns and shadows but the patterns and shadows of others. And as we witness loved ones and friends navigate their path, it can be tempting to come in and try to save them from their suffering. We reflect back on what it is we have done in our own life so we think we have all the codes and answers for what it is they need to do. "If only they would just do THIS and then they'll be fixed." Sound familiar? What's arising under the surface from the pureness of our heart and desire to help, is a savior complex. The ego comes in and takes hold, convincing us that we hold the key to someone else's awakening. But here's the truth we often overlook: we cannot force someone to awaken, and we don't need to save them. In this episode, we delve deep into the intricacies of this common pitfall in our journey towards helping others. Drawing from personal experiences and insights, we unravel the misguided belief that we can rescue someone from their struggles and lead them to enlightenment. Through heartfelt discussions and poignant reflections, we explore how our well-intentioned actions can inadvertently hinder the growth of those we care about. By imposing our own solutions and perspectives onto others, we risk overshadowing their unique path and stifling their innate wisdom. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between compassion and interference, learning to trust in the organic evolution of each individual's journey. Together, let's unravel the layers of our savior complex and embrace the liberating truth that true awakening cannot be forced—it can only be discovered from within.

It's tempting to enter relationships seeing the potential in someone, believing our love is the key to unlocking their best self. But this can often lead us to overlook serious red flags—warnings that this person may not be in a place to form a healthy, mutually supportive relationship. It's vital to ask ourselves: Are we drawn to the possibility of what someone could become, or are we appreciating them as they are now? This episode will delve into why it's crucial to distinguish between wanting to help someone and needing to fix them, a distinction that could save us much heartache.   For more information on the the "From Devastated to Divorced" Course, click the link below! https://josie-falcon.thinkific.com/courses/DtoD_Course Great news!

I explore the intricate psychology behind the urge to consistently help others, often at one's own expense. The Savior Complex is not just a generous impulse—it's a deep-seated pattern that can disrupt personal well-being and relationships. This complex often stems from early experiences where individuals felt compelled to assume roles beyond their years, like becoming a caretaker at a young age due to parental absence or dysfunction. I will delve into how this drive can manifest in controlling and manipulative behaviors, as well as the overwhelming need to be indispensable to others for validation. We'll look at the characteristics common to those with the Savior Complex, including over-responsibility, guilt when not helping, and the sacrifice of personal needs to aid others. The episode also covers why individuals with this complex might find themselves attracted to those who are wounded or unavailable, filling a void within themselves.   Kate Hastings Podcast  Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast  Mental Health Coach  __________________________________________________________________________________   Experience Virtual Regenerative Medicine, dedicated to optimizing your health with Mission Med+.

I am joined by my guest Roxanne who invites us into her story of full circle redemption. We talk all things savior complexes within abusive dynamics, sex addiction, comparison/lust, spiritual abuse, narcissism and more. This episode is powerful for many reasons, but I love that we're starting here. Because it's set the pace for a total redemption story. A full 180. As we unpack spiritual abuse within a church, and the difficulty separating covenant and grace from accountability and safety. Along with hidden addictions carried into marriage, abuse of authority, and toxic submission. This is SUCH A GOOD STORY. I am honored to hold Roxannes story here. Big win here.

Do you ever feel like you're being fixed by your partner? Or do you ever feel the urge to fix your partner's pain or struggles? We address the challenges and nuances of avoiding codependency and 'fix-it' dynamics in relationships, particularly between spouses and friends.  We talk about the balance between being supportive and overstepping into a counseling role within our personal connections. Through our personal experiences, we touch on the importance of self-awareness, growth, and the recognition that relationships naturally ebb and flow through phases of codependency. We also explore the power of surrender, ownership, and the gift of love that comes with less dependency on others' affection. Through this episode we hope that you will learn how to question your intentions and be comfortable with rejection, and aim to cultivate healthier dynamics in your relationships and avoid the helper or fixer roles.  

The “Savior Complex” is a horrible obsession, where instead of getting to know someone and seeing if there is harmony and potential for you as friends or as partners – you immediately imagine a version of them that is DIFFERENT than what they are. And then you set about trying to make them INTO that imaginary person you have in mind. You might call this "helping" them, or "healing" them (for people with CPTSD, this is almost always the expression of a trauma wound), but really what's going on is manipulation and control. It's not really about helping them with something they require – it's about helping you to relieve an anxious emptiness inside, and in the end it will take a toll on both of you. In this video I respond to a letter from a woman who has a compulsion to "heal" people who are not available for a relationship. Is Past Trauma Affecting Your Dating Life?

In 2009, nineteen-year-old Renee Bach said the Lord called her to go to Uganda and establish a charity to feed the hungry. But the Serving His Children clinic morphed into an intensive care unit for gravely malnourished babies and toddlers. Her work attracted Christian donors and filled her social media feed. But Bach became the target of Ugandan activists opposed to white missionaries using African children as props for their own agendas. And observers noted why starving babies continued to die at her clinic: Bach was personally directing the children's care even though she had no medical training.“Savior Complex” from HBO Documentaries uses video of the clinic shot by Bach to tell a story of white privilege and religious hubris. It also follows local activists drumming up opposition to Bach and other Westerners more interested in grabbing the spotlight than providing humanitarian relief.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "SAVIOR COMPLEX" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: stick 'em up.
