Rob Reiner once said he wanted his children to "find their own way" and didn't want them feeling like they didn't have to work. But Nick never worked. Nick never found his own way. Nick lived in his parents' guest house at thirty-two, collected a ten-thousand-dollar monthly allowance, and had every bill paid for him.The gap between what Rob said he valued and how the family actually functioned is at the heart of this tragedy.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us for an in-depth examination of the Reiner family dynamics. This isn't about what happened on December 14th — it's about the seventeen years that preceded it. How did a family with unlimited resources, genuine love, and every good intention create a system that enabled their son's worst impulses?Shavaun explains the psychology of families organized around one member's dysfunction. She examines how parents get trapped in enabling patterns they can't see or escape. She explores what it meant for Jake, Romy, and Tracy to grow up in Nick's shadow — watching their parents pour everything into a sibling who kept taking and never got better.We also discuss what's happening now. Sources say the surviving siblings are using estate money to fund Nick's defense because they want him in a psychiatric facility rather than prison. Shavaun helps us understand whether this is love, loyalty, grief — or the continuation of a family pattern that's already proven fatal.#RobReiner #MicheleReiner #NickReiner #ShavaunScott #ReinerCase #FamilyDynamics #Codependency #Enabling #Psychology #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The 80/20 rule isn't new in business, but most agency owners are still drowning in the wrong 80%. We discuss how the Pareto Principle shows up in agency life: service overload, monoline accounts, paper chaos, and clients that consume time without moving revenue. If your team feels stretched, your service load feels heavy, or your agency isn't scaling the way it should, this episode will help you cut through the noise and refocus on the 20% that truly matters.

In 1963, the Milgram experiments revealed something unsettling. Most people kept administering what they believed were painful electric shocks, not because they wanted to, but because they couldn't bring themselves to say no. In this episode, my guest shares why we agree to extra projects, unpaid favours and unreasonable requests even when we know we shouldn't. I'm joined by behavioural scientist and physician Dr Sunita Sah of Cornell University. She studies how social pressure and conflict-of-interest disclosures can quietly steer us toward yes. --- Read Sunita's book Defy: https://amzn.to/48LsreG Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Join 10,428 readers of my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/ --- Today's sources: Milgram, S.

主播：Flora（中国）+ Adrian（美国） 音乐：NO TEARS FOR NEW YEAR'S2025年过得太快了（2025 went by so fast）。主播Adrian认为he really should thoroughly gather (全面收集) his thoughts and plan out (规划) his 2026 before its too late.新的一年已经开始了，我们今天准备了6个prompts（提示问题）来帮助我们进行2026年的新年展望。01. What Is One Habit or Routine You'd Like to Start in 2026?在2026年，你希望养成什么样的习惯或形成怎样的日常行为呢？��For Adrian:他希望能够start consistently going to bed early（坚持早睡）。因为有时he finds himself just staying up late (熬夜) for no reason. 他会一直翻来覆去地刷手机（doomscrolling away on his phone），直到他睡着。��For Flora:她也需要避免staying up late。And another habit she really wants to start is cooking for herself. 因为这一年她吃了不少takeout（外卖），所以如果2026年有更多时间的话，她想要自己研究一些美食。Because homemade food (家常菜) is always a win.02. What Are Your Top Three Priorities for the Year Ahead?对于即将到来的一年，你认为最重要的三项任务是什么？��For Adrian:Health, wealth, and social life (健康、财富和社交生活).他需要更注重他的健康（focus more on his health）是因为他今年有些ignored his health this year（忽略健康）。选择财富是因为他想save more money and make some smart investments（投资）。选择social life是因为他想为他的朋友留出更多时间（set aside more time for his friends）。过去的这一年他认为自己a bit too introverted（内向），and missed out on some fun with his friends. ��For Flora:Health, family, and trying new things (健康、家庭和尝试新事物).因为她觉得之前留给家人的时间，或者是出门探索新事物、交新朋友的时间都太少了。So maybe in 2026, she wants to connect with the outside world a little more. 03. How Will You Take Care of Your Mental and Physical Health in 2026?在2026年，你将如何照顾好自己的身心健康呢？��For Adrian:Go to the gym (健身房) more often.因为他认为只要坚持锻炼（exercise consistently），他就会感到更快乐、更健康（feel happier and certainly healthier）。除了去健身房，多出门晒太阳（touch the grass）也是保证身心健康的好方式。Touch the grass这个短语在网络上更常用，指的是“多出去走走，享受大自然和现实生活”。��For Flora:读喜欢的书可以让她有一个好心情。主播Adrian补充道：getting lost in a good book can really elevate his mood (沉浸在一本好书里可以提高他的情绪).04. What Are You Excited to Learn or Try This Year?今年你最期待学习或尝试的是什么呢？��For Adrian:He's really excited to try and develop media work (媒体工作), 尤其是创造更多vlog style content。他认为shooting videos（拍视频）非常有趣，他希望今年自己可以磨练这项技能（hone that skill）。��For Flora:她今年也想买一台拍vlog的设备。Because she realizes how important it is to document life (记录生活).05. What Is One Thing You'll Say No to in the New Year? 在新的一年里，你会拒绝做的一件事是什么？��For Adrian:他会对toxic people说no！Toxic people：直译是“有毒的人”，其实就是说一个人对周围的人一直产生负面影响。不过在中文语境当中，我们更侧重于说：这个人是不是有毒（are they toxic）？��For Flora:她会对很多事情say no！例如：Staying up late, no! Eating take out food all the time, no! Doomscrolling away on her phone, no!06. What Is Your Guiding Word or Phrase for the Year?你2026年的关键词或座右铭是什么？��For Adrian:It would be “just keep going (继续前行)”. 他之所以选择这一句作为guiding phrase for 2026是因为真正的进步需要时间。Rome wasn't built in a day (罗马不是一天建成的). Small consistent improvements (持续的进步) can truly make a huge difference. ��For Flora:It would be “ease (松弛)”. 不是躺平或者摆烂，而是那种the chill vibe (松弛感) that comes after good planning and efficient work (高效工作).
As we close out 2025, this episode is about the three critical decisions that will position you to make next year truly extraordinary. Whether you're listening in those strange days between Christmas and New Year, or you're one of those brilliant people who switches off completely until January 5th, these decisions are for you to make... If you have a vision for your life and business that's bigger than feels comfortable to admit out loud, this episode is going to challenge you in allllll the right ways. The Three Decisions: Decision 1: To Uplevel Your IdentityThis isn't about affirmations or visualisation... it's about who you're actually being, not just what you're thinking. Your current business - everything it is and isn't - is an exact match for who you've been being up until now. If you're not getting the clients you want, it's because the woman you've been being isn't the woman who works with those clients. If you're not charging what you're worth, it's because the woman you've been being doesn't believe she's worth it. The uncomfortable truth? You can't grow your business beyond who you are being. So who do you need to become to hold the vision you have for 2026? Decision 2: Say No to MisalignmentEvery yes to something that doesn't align with your values or vision is a no to something that does. You can't make space for what's next if you're holding on to what no longer serves you. This isn't about being ruthless, it's about being intentional. It's about honouring yourself enough to protect your energy, your time, and your focus for what actually matters. What are you tolerating that's keeping you small? Decision 3: Invest in YourselfGrowth requires investment. You know the difference between genuinely not being able to invest responsibly and using money as a comfortable excuse to avoid growth. What investment do you need to make in 2026? A mentor? A mastermind? Training that would give you the skills to deliver at the level you want? Someone to help you do the deep identity work? Write down what you need. Then write down all your reasons for not doing it yet. Read them back and ask yourself: are these the thoughts of the woman I decided to become? Your Action Steps:For each decision, make one concrete move: Identity: Write a detailed description of the woman you're becoming. Choose one action that woman would take that terrifies the woman you've been being. Then take it. Saying No: Identify one thing you're currently doing that's misaligned and start thinking about your exit strategy. Investment: Research the investment you know you need to make. Book the discovery call. Request the proposal. Look at your finances and figure out how you'll invest in yourself in 2026. Don't wait for perfect clarity. Don't wait to feel ready. Just make the decision. Want to Work With Me in 2026?If you need someone to help you become the woman who can build the legacy business you're dreaming of, let's talk.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Josh Burtram are joined by Jonathan Freedland, an award-winning journalist, longtime Guardian columnist, and bestselling author, to discuss his latest book, The Traitor's Circle.Freedland unpacks the true story of a small, elite group of German citizens who quietly resisted Adolf Hitler from within Nazi Germany - and the devastating betrayal that ultimately exposed them. Through the lens of faith, conscience, and moral authority, the conversation explores why some people resist tyranny while most comply, how fear and partial courage shape human decisions, and why belief in a higher authority - whether God, conscience, or moral tradition - can give people the strength to say no when it matters most.The discussion draws powerful connections between history and the present without collapsing them into easy analogies, offering listeners a sobering and deeply human exploration of complicity, resistance, and the cost of moral clarity in dangerous times. Guest BioJonathan Freedland is a British journalist, author, and broadcaster. He is a longtime columnist for The Guardian, former Washington correspondent, and host of Politics Weekly America. Freedland is the author of several acclaimed books, including The Escape Artist, and his work often focuses on democracy, authoritarianism, antisemitism, and moral responsibility in modern history.Book DiscussedThe Traitor's Circle: The True Story of a Secret Resistance Network in Nazi Germany and the Spy Who Betrayed Them by Jonathan Freedland https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780063373204Support the show

Saying no can feel risky, heavy and selfish, especially for we introverts who were taught to be agreeable and accommodating. In this episode, I gently challenge that conditioning and name the hidden cost of all those quiet yesses. Every time we override our inner no, we erode our confidence, energy and authenticity. No is not rude and it is not unkind. It is a clear and honest response that protects your capacity to flourish. This is about courage, kindness and learning to lead yourself with integrity. ** Key Points ** Guilt is conditioned No protects wellbeing Honesty sustains energy Self-leadership matters #AuthenticallyIntorvert #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

DSCR loans in 2026 may be the difference between growing your real estate portfolio and getting capped out by local banks.

You'll also hear why tech and AI will be a key edge for investors who want to analyze deals and markets faster.If you're serious about using DSCR loans to scale your investing in 2026, this conversation will help you think more clearly about financing, risk, and opportunity.If you enjoyed the episode, follow the show, rate it, and share your biggest DSCR or bank‑denial story with us—your experience might help another investor.

What if the reason you can’t say no isn’t weakness, but conditioning? From childhood, so many of us were taught that love had to be earned, that being good meant staying quiet, agreeable, and available. But somewhere along the way, that survival strategy became self-betrayal. In this powerful episode, bestselling author and trauma recovery coach Lisa A. Romano reveals the truth about codependency: it’s not about needing others too much, but about forgetting who you are. She explains why guilt floods your body when you set a boundary and how healing begins the moment you realise your inner critic isn’t actually your voice—it’s an echo from your past. This is a conversation for anyone who’s tired of people-pleasing, over-giving, or shrinking themselves to keep the peace. Because real love doesn’t require you to abandon yourself. It begins the moment you come home to you. The Woman Who Broke the Cycle Lisa A. Romano didn’t just study codependency—she lived it. Growing up with parents who were adult children of alcoholics, one highly narcissistic and the other deeply codependent, Lisa carried shame throughout her entire childhood. She believed something about her made it impossible for her parents to love her. This pattern followed her into adulthood. She married a man similar to her mother, repeating the cycle of seeking approval and subjugating herself. After a severe breakdown and six therapists, she finally received the diagnosis that changed everything: codependency. The tragedy that catalysed her mission came when her brother-in-law, also an adult child of alcoholics, took his own life. In that devastating moment, Lisa realised that if he had understood codependency and childhood trauma the way she now did, he might still be alive. She pushed past her fears of what her family would think and published her first book, “The Road Back to Me,” which became an Amazon bestseller overnight. Today, as a certified life coach and leading expert in codependency and childhood trauma recovery, Lisa has helped over 5,000 students heal through her signature 12-week Breakthrough Method, blending neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching, mindfulness, and spiritual wisdom. What Codependency Actually Means “When you’re codependent, you don’t know that you’re codependent until your life becomes unmanageable,” Lisa explains. It operates completely below conscious awareness, a loop of childhood trauma disguised as personality. Codependency isn’t just people-pleasing. It’s people-pleasing from a loss of selfhood. It’s cleaning the house but needing your husband to walk in and pat you on the back. Making his favorite meal but requiring him to make a big deal about it. Watching your sister’s kids but expecting her to watch yours in return without having to ask. “With codependency, it’s an emotional enmeshment,” Lisa reveals. “I lose my sense of self and I’m emotionally reliant on someone in a very unhealthy way, and I don’t even realize it.” The dangerous part? Codependents often think they’re “the good one.” They’re the fixers, the caretakers, the ones always willing to listen. But beneath that giving is resentment, unmet expectations, and the victim mentality that comes from abandoning yourself while trying to avoid being abandoned by others. Why You Can’t Say No: The Childhood Programming The guilt you feel when setting boundaries isn’t random. It’s precisely programmed survival wiring from your first three years of life. “Your needs aren’t being served, your ego-based needs from zero to three,” Lisa explains. “You’re in a theta brainwave state, which is a hypnotic brainwave state.” During this critical period, if your narcissistic needs—the healthy developmental need to matter, to be seen, to have your feelings validated—go unmet, you don’t develop a solid ego boundary. Between ages three and five, children are supposed to be “little narcissists.” The adults around them should be managing what shows up inside them, helping them emotionally regulate, and teaching them that their feelings matter. When this doesn’t happen, children learn that they don’t have the right to feel, and therefore don’t have the right to set boundaries. “If I say no, I might get abandoned or criticised or judged or shamed or banished from the kingdom,” Lisa describes. “That’s all stored.” The brain creates a predictive model: saying no produces guilt as a way to prevent abandonment. You’re abandoning yourself to avoid outer abandonment. Operating Below the Veil “Below the veil of consciousness, we’re just operating on a loop,” Lisa says. “We’re operating on childhood trauma. These are belief systems. They’ve become habitual thoughts. It becomes part of our persona.” The subconscious mind is 500,000 to a million times stronger than the conscious mind. Most of your daily interactions are products of subconscious beliefs you’ve never questioned. You’re not living authentically—you’re recycling thoughts and patterns downloaded in childhood. “It’s hard to be yourself when you were taught that yourself was not worthy of love,” Lisa reflects. “How do you love a self that your childhood conditioned you to believe was not worthy of love?” The terror of being authentic becomes greater than the pain of being inauthentic. So you stay small, you people-please, you anticipate everyone else’s needs, and you resent them for not reading your mind. The Deep Questions That Activate Healing Lisa believes the gateway to transformation is uncomfortable self-inquiry: “How happy am I? How excited am I to get up in the morning? Do I really like my partner or do I resent them?” These are the questions we avoid by going to yoga and drinking Starbucks, she says with a laugh. We go through the motions in our relationships without examining how we’re showing up. “Do I say yes when I mean no? Do I race to solve other people’s problems with the intention for them to see me and find worthiness in me? Am I taking care of everybody else at the expense of myself? Am I secretly resentful?” These self-inquiring questions activate metacognition—the ability to observe your own thoughts and patterns from a higher state of consciousness. “There is no healing without metacognition,” Lisa emphasises. Without engaging your prefrontal lobe and neocortex, you’re stuck operating from the amygdala, hippocampus, and brainstem—pure thinking, feeling, and reacting with no space between stimulus and response. Stepping Out of Ego to Find Your True Self Lisa’s breakthrough came when she stopped identifying with her ego and recognised it as a product of her five senses and childhood downloads. “That’s my ego’s language, but that’s not my true identity,” she explains. She uses a powerful metaphor: “If I was in the middle of the ocean hanging onto a log, and the ego was that log, I’m not letting go until I see a raft. And I’m not jumping off the raft until I see a cruise ship.” Her life raft was this realisation: “These are all false beliefs. I am enough. If I had been born to a healthy mother, I wouldn’t think these thoughts.” The “I’m not enough” narrative was contingent on what happened to her, not who she actually was. “My divine essence is I’m an extension of source,” Lisa says. “Whoever and whatever created this entire cosmos created me. My inner child was always worthy, always worthy. I was just born to unhealthy dynamics.” Every flower leans toward the sun. Why should you stay in the shade? The Power of Meditation: Slowing Down the Loop When Lisa realised her negative self-talk was just reverberations of her mother’s constant criticism—not her actual thoughts—it terrified her. “Who the hell’s steering the ship?” she wondered. Her solution was meditation, sometimes for four to five hours a day. “I knew I had to empty my mind of this crazy self-talk that was so self-sabotaging and focused on what’s going to happen next.” The results were almost immediate. After 40 minutes to an hour, she could sit up and observe. If the monkey mind returned, she’d lie back down and do another session. Each time, the chatter slowed further. “Once I emptied the mind, it was like the observer within me was born. That’s metacognition. Now suddenly I’m outside of my mind observing. Now I can catch a negative thought. Now I can catch a codependent thought.” Healing Relationships Without Cutting Everyone Out One of the most common questions Lisa receives: “How do I heal without cutting people out of my life?” Her answer: surrender. “Surrender to this idea that I’m doing this deep healing work. Surrender that just because I’m doing this work doesn’t mean my partner is going to be doing this work. I surrender to their confusion about who I’m becoming.” The reality is nuanced. Some people shouldn’t stay in your life—those who are aggressive, manipulative, or actively exploiting your abandonment fears. When you try to assert yourself and they bash you for daring, that’s a sign. But other relationships can evolve. Lisa’s been with her second husband for 15 years. “He doesn’t believe in everything that I believe, and I freaking love that as a recovering codependent because I can tolerate that. I don’t need his approval. I don’t need him to agree with me.” He supports her completely even though he doesn’t fully understand her work. “That’s unconditional love,” Lisa says. “Why does that person have to change to make me happy if that person has goodwill towards me?” Expecting your partner to think exactly like you? That’s still codependency. Breaking Generational Trauma “Nature has no other recourse but to create by default unless the human being awakens,” Lisa explains. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. You’re 75% more likely to become an alcoholic if your father was an alcoholic. It’s biology, environment, emotion, vibration—everything you were around. “Nature will create through default patterns until you awaken, until there’s a cycle breaker in a generation.” Lisa sees her clients as unsung superheroes. “What you have done is you’ve halted this trauma into future generations. You have changed the collective matrix in which we all bathe in. The natural thing is to remain unconscious and do what was done to you. Not the healthiest, not the most fulfilling, but the most natural and innocent.” Her 12-week program moves through three phases: understanding what happened to you (the inner child’s wounds), moving into gentle accountability (it’s still your subconscious mind now), and ascension (how do we manage and emotionally regulate from a higher state). “You can’t fix a hole in the wall that you don’t see,” she says. Once you develop compassion for yourself, that trumps shame. Only then can you offer your parents compassion—but not before you develop self-empathy. Three Golden Nuggets for Your Healing Journey Golden Nugget #1: Find the Space Between Your Thoughts “One of the most powerful things you can do on your journey is to find the space between your thoughts,” Lisa emphasises. The mind runs on a loop, a consistent stream of what we assume is consciousness, but it’s mostly from the subconscious mind. “If you could practice finding the space between your thoughts, you could activate metacognition. It slows everything down.” Golden Nugget #2: Feelings Aren’t Facts “A big reality check, narcissism check, self-righteous check, arrogance check is: wait a minute, my feelings aren’t facts. They’re just opinions.” Your beliefs have probably changed over the past 25 years. But when you believed something 25 years ago, you thought it was a fact. This awareness creates humility and openness to growth. Golden Nugget #3: Emotional Neglect IS Trauma “Brain scans prove that children who grow up feeling ignored and invisible, their brain on a brain scan is similar to a child that has experienced domestic violence and physical abuse. It’s the same.” The hippocampal volume is smaller. The amygdala is lit up. Because feeling ignored is akin to death for a child. The same trauma responses, cortisol responses, and nervous system wiring are activated. Understanding what happened in your first three years of life is crucial. If you struggle with codependency, low self-worth, or boundaries, your nervous system was wired for survival during that period. You developed an aversion to abandonment and became sensitised to it, which fuels codependency and unhealthy emotional dependence. “Being emotionally neglected is trauma. Understand why. If you relate to anything we’ve shared today, you might be able to trace it back to those early developmental years.” About Lisa A. Romano Lisa A. Romano is a bestselling author, certified life coach, and leading expert in codependency and childhood trauma recovery. With over 5,000 students healed through her signature 12-week Breakthrough Method, she blends neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching, mindfulness, and spiritual wisdom to help adult children restructure their subconscious programs, build emotional resilience, and manifest intentional lives. She is the author of multiple books including “The Road Back to Me” and has built a global community through her online programs, YouTube channel, podcast, and social media presence. Key Takeaway You are not destined to repeat the patterns programmed into you as a child. The guilt, resentment, and self-abandonment you experience aren’t character flaws—they’re survival strategies from a nervous system that learned love was conditional. When you activate metacognition through meditation and self-inquiry, you can observe these patterns from outside the loop. When you step out of ego and claim your inherent worthiness, you become the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for. Coming home to yourself means releasing the belief that you must earn love by abandoning who you are. Watch the full conversation on YouTube Find Out More About Lisa A.

In this episode, Joe digs into a hard truth most creators avoid: we keep doing things we no longer enjoy, not because we have to, but because stopping feels harder than continuing. After a personal conversation with his wife about the commitments and routines they no longer want in their lives, Joe realized something uncomfortable. Most of what fills our calendars is self-chosen… even the stuff we complain about. And the longer we avoid questioning it, the more permanent it becomes. This episode will help you get honest about what no longer fits, and give you a simple framework for letting a few things go. What You'll Learn Why creators keep doing things they don't enjoy The uncomfortable truth that nobody is forcing you to continue How "defaults" become invisible commitments in your business Why change feels hard even when the decision is simple A practical method to assess what still belongs in your life and business How to pause something for 30 days to get clarity Why your language ("have to" vs. "choosing to") shapes your choices A quarterly habit that keeps your work aligned with your goals Key Ideas From the Episode Most creators are not trapped. They are simply continuing things they never reevaluated. Relief is powerful data. If stopping something feels good, pay attention. If you wouldn't start it again today, it may not belong in your business anymore. Nothing has to be broken for something to be finished. The hardest part of change is admitting that nobody was making you stay. Try This Week's Exercise Create a Still-Doing List of anything you no longer enjoy. Ask: Would I start this again today? Pause one thing for 30 days and track how you feel. Shift your language to: "I'm choosing to continue." "I'm not ready to stop yet." Revisit all of it every quarter. If this episode resonates, share it with one creator who is doing too many things out of habit instead of intention.

Reid says she still believes she was drugged, claiming she only had one glass of white wine that evening. Police and Reid are awaiting any tests that might have been done on Reid while she was hospitalized, but it remains unclear if any results will be made public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Amy and Margaret tackle one of women's most exhausting challenges: the nonstop onslaught of small asks, random requests, invisible labor, and mental load that quietly drains them. They break down why saying "no” to additional responsibilities is not laziness, and why "just say no to" is actually not a realistic option in many situations. Drawing on real-life examples, Amy and Margaret explore the emotional calculus behind every “yes,” the hidden costs of over-accommodating, and why moms often feel pressure to be endlessly available. They offer practical scripts, boundary strategies, and mindset shifts to help you pause before automatically agreeing, tolerate the discomfort of disappointing others, and value your own limits.
