Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers is joined by Jennifer Newton to unpack another sensitive week for the Royal Family. They discuss how both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace released unprecedented statements, responding to the ongoing fallout over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the alleged alleged passing of confidential information to the disgraced financier. Public anger was on show in Clitheroe, where the King was heckled during a visit to the Lancashire town. Russell and Jennifer discuss the reaction to the heckler, and how the Royals could handle potential future outbursts. Russell also shares the insights from Prince William's diplomatic trip to Saudi Arabia, and how the Princess of Wales has been using her platform to advocate for children's mental health.

Sleep is the most powerful legal performance enhancer you're not fully using yet. We brought in Derek Hales, founder of NapLab and one of the most trusted voices in mattress testing, to strip away hype and show how smarter choices at night translate to stronger training, faster recovery, and better moods.We dig into the single biggest mattress mistake—price extremes—and map the sweet spot where quality and longevity meet: a queen in the $1,500–$2,000 range. Derek explains why most athletes thrive on a medium to medium-firm hybrid for balanced pressure relief, spine alignment, and airflow, and when memory foam's contouring or latex's buoyant feel makes sense. Sensitive to smell? We break down off-gassing, VOCs, and why natural latex still carries a rubber odor even if it's less concerning than polyurethane foam.If you run hot, you'll appreciate our deep dive on cooling—what truly works, what's marketing, and how to build a cooler sleep system from the mattress up. We compare active cooling options like Eight Sleep, ChiliPad, and BedJet, weighing performance, noise, and cost so you invest wisely. Beyond gear, we focus on habits that move the needle: ideal room temps in the high 60s, blackout and fans for stubborn climates, consistent bedtimes, device-free wind-downs, and 5-minute mindfulness to quiet the mental to-do loop. Derek also shares intriguing evidence around Celliant fabrics for circulation and recovery, plus practical strategies for couples—from twin XL splits to separate rooms—so both partners get deep, uninterrupted rest.Whether you're a masters swimmer or a wellness-driven listener, expect clear, actionable guidance to turn sleep into your competitive edge. If you enjoyed this conversation, follow the show, share it with a teammate who trains early, and leave a quick review—your support helps more athletes find the recovery they deserve.Email us at HELLO@ChampionsMojo.com.

**Sensitive warning - we get into a bit of debate about religions and beliefs during the show, so if you are not comfortable with that topic, you've been warned!** Hawk and Dove get introduced to us this week, and for many, it's the first time meeting this duo of chaos and order. These superpowered siblings bicker like most brothers, but they have two very different ways of approaching problems. Wonder Woman has to round them up to take on Ares as he is insighting war with his magical armor. It takes everything in Wonder Woman and Hawk's power to try and stop the Annihilator machine. But it turns out Dove's peaceful ways and problem solving is the Annihilator's one weakness.

Block Therapy, Fascia & Flow: Why Your Body Can't Heal What It Can't Release with Deanna Hansen What if your pain, stiffness, poor recovery, hormone resistance, or "mystery inflammation" isn't coming from weak muscles, aging joints, or overtraining—but from dehydrated, compressed fascia? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm joined by Deanna Hansen, creator of Block Therapy®, to unpack the missing link in healing, performance, and longevity: your fascial system. Fascia is not just connective tissue—it's a sensory organ, communication highway, and drainage system. And when it becomes compressed from stress, repetitive training, injuries, sitting, or breath restriction, everything downstream suffers. That includes: Lymphatic flow Circulation and oxygen delivery Hormone signaling Nervous system regulation Detox and waste removal Pain-free movement and recovery In true FLOW Foundation™ fashion, we explore why you can't "train harder" or supplement your way out of a body that can't move, hydrate, and release. In this episode, we cover: What fascia really is—and why it's not passive tissue How chronic stress, endurance training, and aging compress fascia Why lymph has no pump (and how fascia is the pump) The connection between fascia, breath, vagal tone, and inflammation How Block Therapy® helps rehydrate tissues and restore flow Why aggressive workouts, detoxes, and even HRT can backfire when fascia is stuck How gentle, intentional decompression prepares your body to adapt, heal, and perform Why this matters for high performers and aging athletes: If you're: Doing "all the right things" but not seeing results Struggling with lingering pain, stiffness, or slow recovery Feeling inflamed, puffy, tight, or restricted Sensitive to supplements, training, or hormone therapies This conversation may completely change how you approach your health. Because nothing detoxes, heals, or adapts if it can't move first.
If reading the news leaves you overwhelmed, angry, or completely checked out—you're not broken. The system is. In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I'm joined by Kira Shishkin, founder and CEO of informed.now, a platform built for people who want to stay informed without being manipulated, overstimulated, or emotionally drained. Kira shares how her own struggles with attention, overload, and disability shaped a radically different approach to news—one that prioritizes facts, primary sources, and respect for the reader's time and nervous system. We talk about: Why modern news is designed to hijack attention "Structural sensationalism" and how advertising drives outrage Why many autistic and neurodivergent people avoid the news entirely How to consume information without doom scrolling or shutdown What media minimalism and "news mindfulness" actually look like Why informed.now delivers fact-based news via simple text messages This episode is especially for autistic adults, ADHDers, and anyone whose mental health takes a hit from constant media overload—but still wants to understand what's happening in the world.
We investigate the tragic 1996 mid-air explosion of TWA Flight 800, analyzing evidence from official NTSB findings and eyewitness missile conspiracy theories. Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In the summer of 1996, a standard Trans World Airlines flight was set to travel from New York City to Paris, France. It was a routine flight, with nothing out of the ordinary, until disaster struck. The plane erupted into a fireball in the sky, and crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. Immediately, the world began to wonder: was this an unfortunate technical malfunction, or a more sinister act? Today, we're investigating TWA Flight 800.

When church leadership makes headlines, the fallout is never just internal. And this time, the story is heavier than most. Sensitive content warning: This episode discusses allegations involving fraud and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. In this In the Headlines episode, Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman talk through the ongoing Bethel Church scandal involving Shawn Bolz, Kris Vallotton, and Bill Johnson. They unpack what's being alleged, why these stories are gaining traction, and how power, influence, and accountability intersect in modern church culture. This conversation isn't built on outrage or speculation. It's a careful, honest look at how scandals like this affect real people, real faith communities, and public trust in Christian leadership. The discussion centers on discernment, responsibility, and what it means to take allegations seriously without turning faith into a PR exercise. Because this is a news-based episode, clarity matters. Nate and Dr. Joseph slow things down, separate confirmed information from assumptions, and reflect on how both believers and skeptics process stories like this when they involve spiritual authority and harm. Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman bring lived experience, dry commentary, and a refusal to look away from uncomfortable topics. In the Headlines exists to address what's already dominating conversations, without pretending these moments don't shape how people understand church, leadership, and faith itself.

Both of Virginia's senators want an investigation into how the Department of Homeland Security uses sensitive personal data. Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner this week requested that DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari look into that issue. They pointed to reports that DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are tapping into tools ranging from facial recognition and license plate readers to social media monitoring. Earlier this month, ICE also released a request for information on the use of AdTech data to help with its investigations.

Last week, we talked about two toxic emotions that can get triggered in children — even by loving, well-intentioned parents.This week is a beautiful follow-up… because many parents aren't just parenting a child with big feelings — they're parenting a sensitive child… while being sensitive themselves.And that combination can feel tender, intense, and confusing:You want to acknowledge your child's emotions and hold clear boundaries…but in the moment, everyone's nervous system can spiral together.So in today's episode, Erica and I sit down with Dr. Ceara Deno — a newborn medicine physician in Boston, mom of two (11 and 13), and a parent coach who helps sensitive families build peaceful homes.We talk about what sensitivity actually looks like in real life, why parenting can reactivate our own childhood “tender spots,” and how to create more emotional safety without losing your leadership as the parent.Episode timestamps:01:01 — Welcoming Dr. Ceara Deno03:24 — How she became a parent coach (and why sensitivity became her niche)10:39 — How to know if you're part of a sensitive family20:44 — The role of trauma in parenting patterns24:29 — Anger as unmet needs (and what to do in the moment)32:35 — Why role play and playfulness can unlock cooperation43:44 — Connecting before correcting48:55 — Repair in relationships (and why it matters with kids, too)If this episode resonates, I invite you to listen with gentleness toward yourself. Parenting is learned in real time — and awareness is always the beginning of change.

Sign up for “Different by Design: A Retreat for Gifted, Sensitive & Neurodivergent Adults” happening January 30-31, 2026 https://retreatwithdianne.com/ The most important rule: always ask before doing something for someone. In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen shares how neurodivergent and gifted people can be present and hold a truly safe space without absorbing other people's energy. She explains how to show up with dignity and kindness while still honoring your own limits. Dianne unpacks how the body pays a physical price for absorbed energy, why doing things for someone can unintentionally lower their self-esteem, and how overstepping—even with good intentions—can cross important boundaries. It's not noble to carry the weight of everyone else's pain. When you respect your inner boundaries and stand in your agency, you create healthier connections for yourself and for others.

The EU and India have hailed their new free trade agreement as "the mother of all deals". While the pact eliminates or significantly reduces tariffs on a vast majority of goods traded between the two sides, it excludes politically sensitive farming products. We take a closer look. Also in the segment, some Cypriot fishermen have taken their battle against invasive fish to the dinner table.

The six tenets of humane technology are: Sensitive to Human Nature: Technology should work in harmony with human vulnerabilities and biases, rather than exploiting them to grab attention.Minimize Harmful Consequences: Product teams must account for and minimize the negative, unintended, or downstream consequences of their technology.Center on Values: Technology should be designed to support human values (such as truth, connection, and well-being) rather than simply maximizing for engagement metrics.Create Shared Understanding: Technology should foster trust, truth, and the shared understanding necessary for functioning democracies, rather than creating fragmented realities.Support Fairness & Justice: Systems should promote a more just world by actively reducing bias and integrating the voices of people who experience harm.Help People Thrive: Products should be designed to empower users to act in alignment with their deeper, long-term intentions, rather than exploiting short-term impulses.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!There's a moment before a big storm when the air changes. You can feel it. The electricity. The quiet hum of energy building, even before the clouds roll in. You don't need a forecast to know something's coming.The same thing happens before a meaningful shift. The energy starts to gather. Things feel charged. There's that unmistakable sense of ohhh… something's on the way. If you've been noticing that kind of electricity building lately, it may be because the Fire Horse has left the stall and is headed in our direction.In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Fire Horse begins in February 2026, and this episode is an invitation to start getting oriented to that energy now — especially if you're sensitive, intuitive, or someone who's learned to carefully manage your energy over the years.Fire Horse years are known for stirring things awake. They tend to surface what's ready to move, what asks for honesty, and where life has quietly outgrown old habits of endurance and “just making it work.” In this episode, we talk about the themes this year tends to bring forward, and why they matter on an emotional and intuitive level.As this energy approaches, many people also notice subtle changes in how intuition shows up and how connection is experienced. We'll explore what shifts to expect, why intuition may feel different than it has in the past, and how to work with these changes in a way that supports your intuition, your nervous system, and your sense of direction.***2026 in-person Reiki classes in Sedona are scheduled!

Sensitive women feel deeply — and for many, emotional pain can feel overwhelming, unsafe, or impossible to sit with. There's often a fear that if you really let yourself feel it, you'll fall apart and won't be able to recover.In this episode, I unpack why emotional pain feels so intense for sensitive and neurodivergent women — and why this has nothing to do with being fragile or broken. We explore how emotional overwhelm is actually a capacity issue, not a personal flaw, and how many of the ways we've learned to cope with emotion are protective — but ultimately keep us stuck.This is an honest conversation about emotional overwhelm, overthinking, self-judgment, and how learning to stay with yourself during emotional pain can fundamentally change your relationship with your emotions — and with yourself.In This Episode, We Cover:Why sensitive women often fear fully feeling their emotionsThe difference between emotional pain and emotional overwhelmWhy emotional overwhelm is a capacity issue, not fragilityHow we're taught to fix, explain, or numb emotions instead of feeling themWhy intellectualizing emotions leads to overthinking and burnoutCommon patterns sensitive women use to cope with emotional painHow urgency, meaning-making, and self-judgment intensify emotional painThe difference between managing emotional pain and relating to itWhy emotions don't need to be solved in order to moveHow to separate sensation in the body from the story in the mindWhat it actually looks like to “stay with” an emotionWhy emotional processing should feel quiet, boring, and non-dramaticHow emotional capacity grows through presence, not forceA personal water-skiing story that illustrates how emotional capacity is builtKey TakeawayEmotional pain isn't the problem — being alone inside it is. When you learn how to stay with yourself instead of trying to fix, outrun, or explain your emotions, your capacity grows. Sensitivity stops being something you manage and becomes a strength you can trust.Mentioned in This EpisodeEmotional capacity vs. emotional fragilityClean emotional experience vs. emotional overwhelmSeparating sensation from storyInternal companionship and self-trustPresence as the path to emotional confidenceWork With MeIf this episode resonated and you want support applying this work to your real life, I'd love to talk with you.I currently have space...
JAN. 13, 2026Be sensitive to God's presence."Lord...open his eyes that he may see." 2Ki 6:17 NKJVOne morning in a city called Dothan, a servant of the prophet Elisha awoke and was terrified because an enemy army surrounded him and his boss. "What shall we do?" he cried.Elisha told him to chill out, for "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Then Elisha prayed for him: "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw that they were surrounded by horses and chariots of fire-the power of God and protection of God (see vv. 15-17 NKJV). As a result, their enemies were neutralized. What if this became your prayer as well? What if every time you were challenged or burdened, God opened your spiritual eyes to see that you too were surrounded by His power and protection? It happened to two followers of Jesus who were walking on the road to Emmaus after the crucifixion. A third man joined them. It was Jesus, walking and talking with them—but they didn't recognize Him until He began to pray. And then they knew. Then they said, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" (Lk 24:32 NKJV). What if you were on the road to Emmaus, commuting into work, school, or home-and Jesus was right there beside you? What if you could join the "fellowship of the burning heart" and actually experience His presence? You can. Just reach for Him, recognize Him, and respond to Him.Be sensitive to God's presence Reach for Him, recognize Him, and respond to Him.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

This week, we go deeper—because cleansing without rebuilding is where healing breaks down. In the newest episode of the CHI Podcast, I'm answering a critical question: Why does your immune system live or die in your gut? More than 70% of your immune system is housed in the gut. When the gut is inflamed, infected, toxic or imbalanced, immunity doesn't just weaken—it collapses. This is why so many people are stuck detoxing, supplementing and "doing all the right things" with little to no results. Which surfaces as something that almost everyone dealing with gut issues eventually says out loud:

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen unpacks why gifted adults often block when support is given to them.

Have you ever felt stuck trying to create distance from overwhelming thoughts and emotions? Like you understood the concept of "not being your feelings" intellectually, but couldn't actually experience it in your body? In this conversation, Rena shares how she discovered a practice that finally gave her what years of other approaches couldn't: the ability to actually be with what was happening inside her without getting swallowed by it or having to push it away. Her husband, Rabbi Yonasan Reiser, asks the questions many would wonder: What makes this different from meditation or therapy? Why does it work so well for some people but remain relatively unknown? Who is this really for? Together, they explore a way of working with your inner experience through bodily sensation rather than mental analysis - a practice that requires slowing down in a world that values speed, but paradoxically creates faster transformation for those who need it most. This Episode Is For You If: You're a deep feeler, deep thinker, or highly sensitive person who processes everything intensely You've tried therapy or self-help approaches that felt like they weren't quite designed for your nature You understand healing concepts intellectually but struggle to translate them into embodied experience You're drawn to introspection but also crave being truly seen and received by another person You sense there's wisdom in your body but don't know how to access it

This week's episode of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast picks back up with a heavy mix of faith, culture, and uncomfortable reflection as Izzy dives into the latest installment of Social Media & You Reloaded featuring AmRock from The HL Podcast. The episode opens with Izzy addressing creator fatigue and the reality that working in seasons is necessary for mental and emotional survival in a culture that worships constant output. From there, he transitions into how politics has turned into one of the most toxic conversational spaces for Black people, questioning whether cutting someone off over an election is truly normal or just the result of social engineering.AmRock helps pull apart how social media has turned politics into performance and outrage into identity, pushing Black men especially into silent corners where opinion equals cancellation and disagreement becomes betrayal. Together they explore how political alignment has become a mental health issue, how groupthink has replaced critical thinking, and how generations of Black folks approach voting differently due to trauma, distrust, and survival.The conversation expands into abortion debates, civil rights, Trump-era polarization, white liberalism, the weaponization of religion, and class divides inside Black communities. Izzy emphasizes that most people are more informed by memes than policies, that the media incentivizes emotional extremes, and that everyone claims to “do their research” without ever touching a primary source. They also discuss how political identity has become a substitute for personality, how conspiracy theories sometimes feel safer than institutions that Black people no longer trust, and how therapy, faith, and history are necessary for decoding why we argue instead of building. Instead of picking sides, Izzy challenges whether Black unity requires ideological agreement or whether maturity means learning to disagree without destroying relationships. This episode is controversial, introspective, and culturally honest—and it reminds listeners that most people don't actually hate each other; they just don't know how to talk to each other without losing themselves in the algorithm.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package
Many women ages 35–55 describe this stage of life as feeling like they are suddenly falling apart. Patience disappears, tolerance drops, exhaustion deepens, sleep becomes disrupted, emotions feel closer to the surface, and the body often hurts more than it used to. For sensitive, autistic, and neurodivergent women, this experience can feel especially intense and confusing.In this episode, Julie Bjelland, LMFT, explores what is really happening beneath the surface. She explains how perimenopause and menopause affect the brain, nervous system, sleep, pain, and stress tolerance, why estrogen plays such a critical role, and why hormone testing often fails to capture what women are actually experiencing. Julie also discusses the widespread lack of menopause education among doctors, why women are so often dismissed or prescribed antidepressants instead of receiving hormone-informed care, and what current research is saying about hormone therapy.This episode also explores why midlife can become a “perfect storm” for sensitive, autistic, and ADHD women, why masking often becomes unsustainable, and why so many women discover they are autistic during this stage of life. Julie shares why autism identification is often the missing piece that brings relief, compassion, and clarity, why standardized assessments frequently miss high-masking women, and how neurodiversity-affirming assessments can support deeper self-understanding.If you've been wondering why everything suddenly feels harder, this episode offers validation, education, and hope. You are not broken. Your nervous system is responding to real biological and neurological changes, and understanding what's happening can be the first step toward relief and more compassionate support.
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about... - Why some children are more sensitive to teasing, how temperament plays a role, and why those kids are often more likely to be targeted by peers. - How all three hosts, as therapists and parents of sensitive boys, handle teasing and social stress with their own children, including what has helped and what we had to learn the hard way. - What kids mean when they talk about "rage baiting," how this behavior shows up in friendships, and why it is especially dysregulating for sensitive children. - Whether a "toughen up" approach ever helps sensitive kids, and what Dr. Sarah learned when her husband's advice to their son worked better than her own. - How children can learn coping skills for teasing, including when to walk away, when it might be okay to engage, and how to tell the difference. If your child takes teasing to heart and you worry about how to help without minimizing their feelings, this episode will help you support your sensitive child with more confidence, clarity, and connection.
