Podcasts about self protection

In this powerful conversation, Spencer Coursen, threat management expert, bestselling author, and host of Coursen's Corner, opens up about the journey from trauma to healing, and what it truly means to “win the war within.”Spencer shares the story behind his darkest moment, the service dog who saved his life, and how plant medicine, CBT, and emotional integration helped him rebuild from the inside out. We explore the difference between instinct and intuition, why women must trust their inner signals, the rise of false confidence in men, how to cultivate authentic masculinity, and what actually keeps us safe in modern life. This episode dives into trauma recovery, psychedelic healing, dating dynamics, emotional intelligence, safety, self-trust, courage, and the work required to grow into the person you're meant to be.Spencer's new book, Winning the War Within, releases June 26, 2026.Connect with Spencer:Website: https://www.spencercoursen.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/s.coursen/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxwzst3QHsORLLRzluNw7s6LW0G_O6HZc The Safety Trap on Amazon: https://www.spencercoursen.com/the-safety-trapConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramYouTube Kristin's Best-Selling Book:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sex, Drugs, & Soul on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify Audiobook Link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast:YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For 10% off pleasure goodies at WAANDS, use code SEXDRUGSSOUL.

In this episode, we expose one of the most destructive lies in marriage: the belief that love must be earned or protected. From the serpent's deception in Eden to the shame-driven patterns we still repeat today - performing, hiding, defending, and blaming - we unpack how fear distorts intimacy and disconnects us from God and each other. We reveal how God responded to Adam and Eve's shame not with rejection, but with sacrificial love, clothing them Himself (Genesis 3:21). We also connect this truth to marriage, showing how Christ calls couples out of self-protection and into grace-driven oneness. With insights from Edward Welch, biblical restoration stories, and practical marriage steps, you'll learn how to replace shame with connections, fear with honesty, and performance with rest. If you want to cultivate emotional safety, spiritual unity, and true intimacy, this episode will help you return to God's original design: naked, unashamed, and fully loved.

Shadow work around numbing, not caring, and giving zero f*cks explores the self-protective side of emotional shutdown — and how to gently reawaken the parts of us that care an awful lot.In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph unpack how avoidance, denial, and numbness often began as brilliant childhood survival strategies. Georgianna shares a deeply moving story about her son's “I don't care” — and how meeting his shutdown with compassion revealed a tender sensitivity beneath the surface. Steph reflects on her own years of “not caring” and how that numbness was actually proof of how deeply she cared, without tools to manage the feelings that come with caring.Together, they explore how to create inner spaciousness without shutting down, and how to reclaim the part of us that still longs for connection, safety, and care — for ourselves and others.Discover how:“I don't care” can signal care that's gone undergroundSpaciousness builds capacity for love, not distance from itFeeling is the bridge back to passion and aliveness"Like finding gold." – Alma W."The best therapy I've ever done for myself." – Sanjeev B.LIVE training & practice programs:wholeheartedloving.comGet our self-compassionate body-based toolkitEvery episode begins and ends with a body-based self-connection practice, so you can grow your capacity to be with all that life brings.

I needed to step away from the ADHD Writer's Summit. In this episode I share about what led me to this decision: the wall I hit around capacity, unstable meds, reflection in therapy. I'm unpacking the guilt of saying no, and how I'm learning to see these moments as reparenting and care instead of spiraling into shame. If you've ever wondered whether your ‘self-sabotage' is really just your neurodivergent support needs showing up, this one's for you.

In this episode, Guy talked with Michael Sandler and they explored the profound journey of embracing one's mystic nature by overcoming fears and following the pulls of the heart. Michael shared his experiences about the importance of surrender, the lessons learned from his spiritual practices, and the joys and challenges of being an empath. The conversation covered topics like balancing spiritual insights with daily life, maintaining personal boundaries, and practicing gratitude and love. They also discussed the impact of life experiences, such as becoming a parent and navigating professional pivots, on spiritual growth and authenticity. Michael invited listeners to join his School of Mystics for a transformative journey in expanding their consciousness and living authentically. About Michael: Michael Sandler is the co-host of the popular Inspire Nation Show, a transformational, self-help, spiritually focused podcast and YouTube channel, along with his wife, fellow coach, and teacher, Jessica Lee. He is a best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, visionary, coach, and the co-creator of Inspire Nation University and the Automatic Writing Experience online course. Having been a world-class athlete and coach, competing at the international level in cycling, along with being a competitive speed skater, Ironman triathlete, and runner, Michael has applied those same training skills to being a life coach to teachers, leaders, and visionaries. He is a life-long meditation practitioner and meditation teacher. Two near-death accidents led to the conception of the Inspire Nation show, the creation of the Automatic Writing Experience, and the writing of this book. These devastating accidents led Michael to a much deeper understanding about the world, of Spirit, and of our connection to something greater than ourselves. He calls this “getting the big picture” and from that this book emerged. Once driven purely by performance and results as an endurance athlete, Michael survived the near-fatal accidents that cracked his heart open and helped him discover a kinder, gentler way of moving through life, one that arguably makes an even greater impact on others and the planet. That's what he calls being an open-hearted warrior, and to his mission to elevate consciousness, shift humanity, and help people truly discover their greatest self. Despite twin titanium femurs and hips, as a result of the accidents, he continues to run, skate, bike, and play in the mountains or explore the world with Jessica, their daughter Hana, three kitty cats, along with Roo Roo the Wonder Rooster, always in prayer, always connected to Spirit.

Have you ever been totally into someone and then suddenly… you get the ick? One minute you're feeling the spark, the next you're questioning everything over something as small as flip-flops. Getting the ick can feel like a dealbreaker, but does it really mean your relationship is doomed - or is it pointing to something deeper inside of you? In this episode, I talk with therapist and journalist Matt Hussey about what the ick really is, why it shows up, and how to handle it without panicking or shutting down. We'll look at the biology of disgust, the ways old hurts and perfectionism can shape our reactions, and how curiosity can transform that “ugh” moment into an opportunity for growth and connection. Matt also points out (as he shared in Vogue) that sometimes the ick is less about your partner and more about self-protection. Instead of working through discomfort or vulnerability, we latch onto surface-level quirks. Understanding that difference between a fleeting ick and a real red flag can help you respond with clarity instead of fear. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 What Is the Ick? 03:00 Getting the Ick in Modern Relationships 11:13 Why Curiosity Matters More Than Snap Judgments 22:07 Self-Protection, Trauma, and the Ick 29:15 How to Handle the Ick in Relationships 38:29 Avoidant Attachment and the Ick 44:10 Fantasy vs. Reality in Love Reflect with me for a moment: What has triggered the ick for you in the past? Did it reveal something about your partner, or did it say more about what was happening inside of you? And how might curiosity change the way you respond the next time those feelings come up?

The desire to pursue a passion can be a powerful motivator for individuals, often driving them to learn and grow despite feelings of unqualification or inexperience. This theme is vividly illustrated in this podcast episode featuring tattoo artist Chris Crooks, who shares his journey into the world of tattooing with host Aaron Della Vedova. From a young age, Chris was immersed in tattoo culture, with both of his grandfathers and his father sporting tattoos. This early exposure ignited a desire within him to become a tattoo artist, even before he fully understood the craft. He reflects on how the "desire to do it was bigger than the capabilities," highlighting a common experience among many who pursue their passions. This intrinsic motivation propelled him to acquire the skills necessary for success in tattooing, despite his initial lack of experience. Aaron sits down with Chris at Gods of Ink in Frankfurt, Germany. Aaron reflects on the tattoo artist journey that is rarely straightforward and lacks a clear roadmap.  The conversation explores the intricacies of the tattooing process and the passion that fuels artists in this creative field. Tune in for insights into the art of tattooing and the stories behind the ink. Chat Breakdown: 00:00:00 - Overcoming Limitations

  In this episode, S. Anthony Thomas discusses the importance of setting boundaries and the consequences of being overly nice to others. He shares personal anecdotes about identity theft, relationships, and the need for self-protection in everyday situations. The conversation emphasizes the significance of recognizing red flags in relationships and the necessity of being assertive to safeguard oneself. Takeaways We need to stop being nice to everyone. Being too nice can lead to negative consequences. It's important to recognize red flags in relationships. Self-protection should be a priority. You don't have to be nice all the time. Setting boundaries is essential for personal safety. People can take advantage of your kindness. Being assertive is a form of self-care. It's okay to prioritize your own well-being.

How rogue judges have gone to war with Trump, the Constitution and America “Show me the man, I'll find you the crime!” So said Lavrenty Beria, the notorious chief of the secret police under the Soviet Union's long-time and epically ruthless leader, Josef Stalin. What that meant, of course, was that any person regarded as a genuine threat to the communist dictatorship would be tried in a kangaroo court on serious but totally made-up crimes. As the Encyclopedia Britannica puts it: “In high-profile, carefully scripted purge trials, perceived political opponents of the government were convicted of heinous offenses that they...

Why do we self-protect in relationships? Especially if it hurts our deepest levels of intimacy with those we love? Though we're hurt in relationships, we're also healed in relationships. As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, we discuss the ways we self-protect, why self-protection is a form of artificial intelligence, and how to break free. Our hope for this episode is to give you hope that you can surrender self-protection and discover deeper relational connection with those you love.

How do you navigate accusations of stalking the narcissist in your life?  In this episode, I'm sharing my recent experience, compliments of a social media troll, and offering some insights and tips to help you move through the self-blame, shame, and confusion.  Some people aren't worth compromising your health and well-being.  And you're worthy of truth, healing, and peace.

We live in a world where connection is everywhere—our notifications buzz with likes, comments, and DMs. And yet, why does it still feel like something's missing? Why do we scroll through highlight reels, surrounded by digital admiration, yet still feel unseen at the end of the day?   Here's what we rarely admit: we don't need more people in our lives; we need deeper connections. The type of connections where you can be yourself—messy bun, tired eyes, no filters—and feel confident in being loved. The kind where you're not performing or proving, just existing—and that's enough.   Today, let's drop the pressure and talk about genuine relationships. The kind that refreshes your soul instead of draining it. Because you don't just deserve friendships—you were made for them. So, let's dig in and find the ones that remind you that you belong.

Erin & Elizabeth talk with Gen-X icon Ione Skye (Say Anything, River's Edge, Zodiac), the actress and author of the NYT-bestselling memoir SAY EVERYTHING. Ione's father is the 60s folk wizard and Sunshine Superman, Donovan. But while Donovan did claim Ione's brother Dono as his own, he referred to Ione since birth only as "the girl," only meeting her for the first time when she was by that point a famous teenager. Ione tells us about how his abandonment affected her early romantic relationships with musicians (Anthony Kiedis, Adam Horovitz), what her husband Ben Lee has taught her about consistency, love and fatherhood, and how the road from rejection to reconciliation is paved with self-protection.  This is a public episode.

We all played the "Hide and Seek" game as kids.  Some of us still play it as adults; but not the same way.  We hide in marriage.  It's called self-protection and it shows up in all of us in different ways and for different reasons.  Listen to today's episode with Kellie and Brett Hurst to see if you're hiding - and how you can be found.

Sometimes we can chase the wrong glory in life making our life and our moments about us instead of focusing on the eternal story that is going on around us and the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of other people.

On today's episode, we're going even deeper into my stalker situation.

This episode isn't just about my experience; it's also about the reality of stalking, the dangers of obsession, and the importance of taking threats seriously. Stay aware, stay safe, and let's talk about it all, shall we?—https://noblegoldinvestments.com

Lisa Johnson spent a year and $100K divorcing her ex, and then the next ten years in court, seven representing herself successfully, through dozens of court appearances. Her case was so notable that it was published in the CT Law Journal and is now case law - a huge honor for any attorney, and unheard of for a self-represented litigant. Her partner and she have since created a thriving business teaching men and women how to persevere through the legal system with an ex trying to wear them down and bleed them dry financially.

Hi beloved, how are you doing? Can we talk about ANGER? Take a deep breath, focus in and lets explore the interconnection of the MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT'S perspective.I used to think anger was something to avoid, a messy emotion I had to shove down. But I've come to see it differently—it's a life force, a signal flaring up when my boundaries or needs get trampled. It's not the enemy; it's trying to tell me something matters.Honoring Your Anger's Brutal TruthI think by sharing two words and their etymology - you'll get the point of this sweet little drop here today. ✌

Ok so hear me out here, this topic may sound odd yet this theme came up a few times times in the past week. Once in session with a client and again at Women's group on Wednesday. Women expressing their concern that perhaps certain tendencies indicated that they, themselves, could potentially have narcissistic traits. And yes, Narcissism is an overused & oversaturate term presently yet it DOES exist and it is NOT the same as being overly self concerned due to early life trauma. That's my take and I wanted to share it. On this solo episode I offer my thoughts on why many Women come to be hyper self focused and preoccupied with self preservation as a survival technique resulting from traumatic events. We can come to believe that other's feelings, actions, and moods are due to us because that was the fear we had when our environment as a child was unpredictable & unstable. Or if we overly worry about things working out for us, it's because we've been hurt in the past, not because we're selfish. This and more is discussed and of course an oracle card pull.  Nature Whispers Oracle Cards; https://blueangelonline.com/shop/card-decks/oracle-cards/natures-whispers/* Women Waken Wednesdays will be held weekly on Wednesdays at 6pm PST starting in February!

High Conflict divorce is challenging enough, but when it escalates to legal abuse, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. In this episode, we unpack what legal abuse looks like in the context of high-conflict divorce, where one party may use the legal system to exhaust, intimidate, and financially drain the other. Whether it's endless filings, false accusations, or unreasonable demands, legal abuse can turn a difficult process into a battle of attrition. But understanding the warning signs can be your first line of defense against this form of manipulation. We dive into the red flags that often indicate legal abuse, from repeated court appearances to unreasonable custody demands. These signs, often orchestrated by individuals with narcissistic or controlling tendencies, are designed to exploit the legal system for personal gain. Our discussion provides insights into recognizing these tactics early, equipping you with knowledge that can help you avoid costly pitfalls and find ways to better protect yourself and your family. Our guests today are Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry, co-founders of Been There Got Out. With extensive experience supporting people through high-conflict divorces, Lisa and Chris offer practical, battle-tested guidance for those facing legal abuse. Lisa, a domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself in numerous court battles, helped pass Jennifer's Law to expand Connecticut's definition of domestic violence to include coercive control. Together, they run a Legal Abuse Support Group and have published a book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances," sharing critical insights to help others achieve the best outcomes.

Welcome back folk to Dropping Bombs, I'm Brad Lea. Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Joe Malone, an ex-Marine and former substance abuser who turned his life around to become a motivational figure and trainer. Starting heavy substances  as a teenager, Joe discusses his struggles with substance abuse, depression and dark thoughts. He admits he almost ended it all at one point but managed to make an incredible transformation.  Joe's training programs now focus on self-defense, home safety, and the Bushido code. He shared stories of helping individuals, particularly women, regain confidence and security through his training. Joe emphasized the importance of home defense and the concept of the Fatal Funnel in protecting one's home. Joe outlines steps to protect oneself and family: deter, detect, delay, and defend, and non-lethal defense tools. I encourage listeners to follow him on social media and check out his training programs.    What You'll Learn: About overcoming personal challenges and home protection.
