In the noble quest to understand our minds, today we take a new angle. We track how grunts turned into gossip, myths, and the weird human habit of blushing when we screw up. You'll see why your brain is basically a compression algorithm: squeezing an entire inner universe through a tiny mouth-shaped funnel. We go from jellyfish nerve nets to gossip networks, and beyond. How shared stories make money, nations and even your job “real”. Along the way, we poke at shame, status, and why your reputation now travels faster than any spear ever did. It's part history, psychology, mindset lesson, and part mirror. You'll probably recognise more of yourself than you'd like: Use “compression” as a mental model to communicate ideas more clearly. Spot how gossip and reputation are driving your current career decisions. Rewrite one story you've inherited about status, success, or failure. Listen in, and update the story your brain is running in the background. SPONSORS

My guest today, Fatima Bhutto, knows more than most about loss and living with a traumatic family legacy. Now 43, Fatima is descended from one of Pakistan's most prominent political dynasties. When she was just 14, her father, the politician Murtaza Bhutto, was killed by his political opponents during the premiership of his sister, Benazir Bhutto. Her grandfather, the former President and Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was also killed by the state. I tell you this because, despite now being a prominent writer and speaker in her own right, Fatima is the first to admit how much this shaped her. She is the author of two novels including the Women's Prize long listed The Shadow of the Crescent Moon, and three works of non-fiction. The most recent is The Hour of The Wolf, an unflinching memoir about the decade Fatima spent in a coercive relationship in her thirties, and her beloved dog, Coco, the jack Russell terrier who became her lifeline. Fatima joined me to talk candidly about the single dad she adored, the impact of intergenerational trauma and her longing for motherhood. We also discussed why no-one is immune from coercion, learning to let go of shame, toxic self-esteem, how it feels to be older than her father and, wait for it, there is some joy!, being a dog lady! And yes, I promise, there is a happy ever after.  CW: I should warn you there is discussion of coercive control from the outset. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including The Hour of the Wolf by Fatima Bhutto as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

First we discuss how the well known hockey brand, Bauer, not only threatened one of their biggest fans for posting a leaked version of their Spring catalog, but they did so after baiting her into giving her e-mail address by making her think they were reaching out to discuss a collaboration opportunity. Spoiler alert: there was no opportunity, just legal threats. Then we move onto the drama that went down at the Showroom, a dress store in Nashville, after a viral video revealed sounded like the store owner body shaming a customer. It wasn't long before the customer identified herself in her own video and shared her experience. It then became apparent that this wasn't necessarily an isolated incident and the store's owner actually has a history of treating customers with less than stellar customer service. We Love the Internets:https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThHwLFgW/https://www.instagram.com/jasongudasz/reel/DUn87I4EflS/00:00 Introduction01:16 Boutique Owner Body Shames 17 Year Old29:39 Bauer Hockey's Messy TikTok Drama53:30 We Love the InternetWe hope you enjoyed this episode!

***This episode contains distressing details of rape and sexual assault*** Gisèle Pelicot earned international recognition after waiving her anonymity at her mass-rape trial in 2024, in which her former husband, Dominique, was sentenced to 20 years in jail for drugging her and inviting dozens of other men to their home in the south of France to rape her while she was unconscious. In court, Gisèle Pelicot bravely faced her abusers, and in public, she stood stoically in defence of sexual assault survivors, saying that, “shame must change sides”. The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire talks through her recent interview with Gisèle Pelicot, as her memoir, A Hymn to Life, is published.

There's a version of love many of us were trained into: the kind you earn. Be agreeable, be impressive, don't need too much, don't make waves. When belonging becomes conditional, love becomes performance, and shame becomes the inner enforcer that keeps you “good,” useful, and exhausted.In Episode 2, Vanessa Bennett, LMFT explores how conditional belonging turns intimacy into obedience and management, why being “low maintenance” is often a survival strategy, and how over-attunement (often mislabeled as being an “empath”) can be a trauma response rooted in vigilance. You'll learn the difference between healthy empathy vs trauma empathy, how to spot the somatic signs you're performing safety, and two experiments to move from performance to presence: the pause and one honest sentence.If this landed, follow the show, share it, and leave a rating or review.Additional ResourcesExplore: VanessaBennett.comBook: The Motherhood MythCommunity: Inner Compass CollectiveTraining: Inner Compass AcademyConnect with Inner CompassFollow on InstagramConnect with Vanessa Bennett:Follow on InstagramFollow on TikTokLearn more on SubstackConnect with Vanessa Bennett on LinkedInSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scarlet Hiltibidal joins Angie and Andrea for an honest conversation about shame—how it sneaks in through striving, guilt, and the pressure to be “enough.” Looking at Scripture and sharing personal stories, they talk about the difference between conviction that leads to freedom and shame that keeps us stuck. Scarlett reminds us that in Christ there is no condemnation, and that as we fix our eyes on Jesus—not ourselves—we can walk in real joy and peace.LINKSAshamed Bible StudyMore Resources from Scarlet HiltibidalParentLife Magazine HomeLife Magazine RECOMMENDED: Listen to this episode with Priscilla Shirer on what the Bible says about obedience. Hosted by Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon with guest Scarlet Hiltibidal. CONNECT WITH US!Marked is a podcast from Lifeway Women.  Learn more about the CSB Women's Study Bible.

In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof welcome author, speaker, and embodiment coach Preston Smiles for a powerful conversation on the Father Wound — and how paternal presence or absence shapes the nervous system. Together, they explore how a father's regulation, emotional availability, and play patterns influence brain development, stress physiology, attachment, intimacy, and leadership. Drawing from both lived experience and developmental research, this episode examines the real impact of masculine containment — not through blame, but through understanding. From childhood patterning to adult relationships, parenting, and community repair, this conversation offers grounded insight, somatic depth, and a hopeful path toward nervous system healing. Timestamps: 00:00 –  Intro/The Good Boy Pattern 08:00 – The Father Wound 17:30 – Play and Masculine Energy 33:30 – Shame and Reclaiming the Masculine 52:30 – Capacity and Embodied Partnership Key Takeaways: The fatherwound isn't just emotional, it's neurological and somatic, shaping how we regulate stress, relate, and play. Healthy masculine presence supports brain development through movement, physical play, safety, and co-regulation. Many relational patterns come from what was never modeled, not from personal failure. Healing happens through embodied experience, safe relationships, and repeated nervous system repair, not just insight.

Your child lies. You catch them. They double down. Now what? When an 8-year-old swears they didn’t sneak the TV or the treats (even with chocolate on their face), most parents panic about what it means for the future. In this episode of The Happy Families Podcast, Justin and Kylie explain why lying is normal, why punishment makes it worse, and how to respond in a way that builds honesty instead of fear. If you want truth without tears, this conversation changes everything. KEY POINTS Lying is a developmental milestone, not a moral collapse. The harsher the punishment, the better kids get at hiding. Shame damages relationships and kills honesty. Most lies are about avoiding trouble or getting access to something they want. The goal isn’t catching kids out — it’s solving the problem together. You’ll have this conversation again and again. That’s normal parenting. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Lying is not a moral crisis. It’s a teachable moment.” RELATED RESOURCES #846 An Honest Conversation [podcast episode] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stay calm. Avoid lectures and threats. Say what you see instead of asking trap questions. Make it safe to tell the truth. Explain your concerns (health, sleep, fairness). Collaborate on a plan everyone can live with.

When a person experiences any kind of suffering, he must understand that it comes only from the great love that Hashem has for him. The Tanach as well as Chazal are filled with statements attesting to this truth. When a person internalizes this and wholeheartedly accepts that Hashem is actually helping him when he has a difficulty, it is a wondrous expression of emunah, which is heavily rewarded in the next world. We must remind ourselves of this again and again, because when a person is hurting, he naturally wants to complain and bemoan his fate. There is a story brought down in the introduction to the sefer Divrei Yechezkel Shraga about Rabbi Yosef Teitelbaum, who served as the rav of a large city in Europe before the Holocaust. He took care of all the city's religious needs, and they paid his rent and supported him. One day, his non-Jewish landlord informed him that he was selling their apartment and they would have to vacate within the month. At that time, there were no other apartments available for rent in the city, and this meant the rabbi would not only lose his apartment, but his entire community and life's work, as he would have to move to a new city. A few days later, an argument broke out on a street corner between two women from the community. They were each saying hurtful words to each other. At one point, one of the women said to the other, "You are a difficult and terrible person. Even the rebbetzin said you're a dangerous woman." The other woman, hurt by this accusation, was filled with anger toward the rebbetzin for supposedly saying that. She immediately went to the rebbetzin's house and knocked on her door. The rebbetzin answered with a pleasant smile, but the woman burst out loudly and publicly, "How dare you say I'm a difficult and bad woman? Shame on you. You're a miserable woman yourself." The rebbetzin froze in shock. She had no idea what this woman was talking about. She told the woman she had never said anything of the sort, but the other woman was so swept away by her emotions that she continued mercilessly attacking the rebbetzin with harsh words. The rebbetzin could not bear the shame. She ran to her room, locked the door, and burst into tears. She sobbed bitterly. "Ribono Shel Olam I can't endure all of these hardships. First we find out that we have to leave the kehillah that we invested our entire lives in, from which we earn our livelihood and feed our children. And now this terrible pain and humiliation that is unbearable. Why so much suffering?" The rebbetzin cried until she fell asleep. Suddenly, the image of her holy father, Rav Yechezkel Shraga, appeared to her in a dream. He said, "I am ashamed of you, my daughter. Your crying and complaining is bringing me shame and pain in the upper world. "There was a harsh decree, and you were supposed to pass away. I exerted all of my strength to be an advocate for you and your children to annul the decree and keep you alive. After begging and pleading for mercy, my request was accepted. "It was decided in Shamayim to replace the decree with suffering instead. Your landlord would cause you distress by telling you he was going to sell your apartment so that you would have to leave behind your entire life and livelihood for an unknown future. As well, you would be shamed in public. "This was to give you a new life for years to come. How could you be crying and complaining?" The rebbetzin woke up in a sweat, remembering every detail she had just seen. A few minutes later, the woman returned to apologize. She had found out the other woman made it up, and she felt horrible for the way she acted. The rebbetzin told her not to worry. It was all for her best. A few hours later, the landlord came to say that he had decided not to sell the apartment and they could stay living there. The rebbetzin then shared with her husband all that had happened and felt terrible for not accepting her suffering with love. Rabbi Tzvi Nakar quoted the Baal Shem Tov, who said that every time suffering befalls a Jew and he accepts it without complaining, he builds immeasurable structures for himself in Shamayim. He elevates Hashem's honor and brings tikkunim that could not have been accomplished any other way. We always have to remember that Hashem is acting in our best interests, even if sometimes it hurts.

What happens when sobriety stops being your whole identity—but honesty still matters? In this episode, I sit down with journalist, creator, and host Cat Greenleaf for a wide-ranging conversation about sobriety without performative seriousness, the exhaustion of high-functioning addiction, and the courage it takes to walk away from something—even when you're good at it. Cat is the creator and former host of Talk Stoop, a groundbreaking celebrity interview show that paved the way for digital content before platforms like TikTok even existed. Now she hosts the Soberness podcast, where she brings her signature warmth and realness to conversations about recovery with celebrities and public figures navigating sobriety in the spotlight. We talk about shame, ambition, therapy skepticism, creative identity, aging, and why "go where the water's warm"—a piece of advice from Brooke Shields that Cat received 16 years ago—might be the most trustworthy life guidance there is. If you've ever looked successful on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside, or if you've felt that nudge that something in your life is done, this episode is for you. In This Episode: What high-functioning addiction actually looks like and how Cat knew it wouldn't go well from the start Why she spent 10 years sober without attending AA meetings The moment at a wedding that changed everything "I hate therapy" (and why that's perfectly okay) Why Cat is shifting her Soberness podcast from recorded interviews to live storytelling events The "be kind" tattoo story—and why she's having it removed How to know when it's time to walk away from something that's no longer working People's commitment to their own joy (and what that means for the rest of us) Guest: Cat Greenleaf is a journalist, creator, and host of the Soberness podcast. She's the creator of Talk Stoop, where she interviewed celebrities on her Brooklyn stoop before digital content became what we know it as today. She's currently pursuing her master's in forensic mental health counseling and has been working with incarcerated individuals for the past two years. Cat has been sober for 12 years.

Join me and Noemi Weber as she reveals how to break the cycle of childhood trauma and overcome deep-seated shame through the lens of "radical aliveness" and somatic healing. We dive into her unique story of being born while her mother was in a coma and explore the 5-step path she took to shift from a "victim" identity to a state of nervous system sovereignty.

Here's the truth: you can love someone deeply and still be exhausted by the weight of their unaddressed struggles. When a partner refuses to seek support, it doesn't just impact them—it impacts you, the relationship, and your sense of safety and stability. So how do you know when staying is supportive… and when it's slowly eroding your own wellbeing? This episode dives into the emotional tug-of-war between loyalty, love, limits, and self-preservation.----more---- Inside This Episode:

Notes Matthew 4:1-11 Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 Romans 5:12-19 Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Pulpit Fiction Podcast 03:03 Exploring the Temptation of Jesus 12:00 Understanding the Nature of Satan 20:00 The Connection Between Baptism and Temptation 29:58 The Genesis Narrative: The Fall of Humanity 50:00 Paul's Perspective on Sin and Grace Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler explore the readings for the first Sunday of Lent, focusing on the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11, the Genesis narrative of Adam and Eve, and Paul's reflections on sin and grace in Romans 5:12-19. The conversation delves into the nature of Satan, the significance of baptism, and the implications of human choice, shame, and the quest for knowledge. Through a thoughtful examination of these texts, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own faith journeys and the complexities of biblical interpretation. Takeaways The first Sunday of Lent focuses on the temptation of Jesus. The narrative of Jesus' temptation is foundational for understanding his mission. Satan's role in the temptation narrative raises questions about the nature of evil. Baptism is a key theme that connects Jesus' identity to his temptations. The Genesis story of Adam and Eve introduces complex themes of choice and consequence. Shame and pain are significant outcomes of humanity's choices in the Genesis narrative. Paul's writings emphasize the relational aspect of sin and grace. The concept of original sin is debated in light of modern interpretations. Curiosity and intelligence can lead to both good and evil outcomes. The podcast encourages a deeper exploration of biblical texts and their implications.

In this special bonus episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan and McKay Farner share the talks they delivered in sacrament meeting on the greatest commandment: to "love thy neighbor as thyself." Meghan explores the often-overlooked doctrine of self-love through the lens of agape—the unconditional love that God is. She unpacks false beliefs (“unbelief”) that keep us stuck in shame and natural-man identity, reframing repentance as healing rather than punishment. Drawing from Mosiah 3:19, Doctrine & Covenants 93, Moroni 7, and the teachings of President David O. McKay, she invites listeners to see themselves as the “pearl of great price”—already worthy of divine love.McKay then shares a powerful mission story that forever changed his understanding of loving your neighbor. Through personal experience—including stepping away from church activity—he reflects on charity without ulterior motive and what it truly means to love as Christ loves.Together, these talks offer a message of hope, grace, and spiritual maturity:You cannot hate yourself into holiness.You cannot give a gift you have not received.And love is not kindness with a destination attached.00:00 Introduction & purpose of the message00:33 The Great Commandment (Matthew 22)01:19 Agape: the unconditional love God is02:35 False beliefs (“unbelief”) about self-love04:24 Natural man vs. true eternal identity07:23 Repentance as healing, not punishment09:26 Shame, fear, and perfect love10:16 Rest, worthiness, and grace11:50 Meditation as communion with God12:42 The pearl of great price13:52 McKay's mission story begins15:47 What love is not17:13 “Love is not kindness with a destination attached”20:10 Charity defined (Moroni 7)22:27 Princess & sacrificial love23:40 “Greater love hath no man…”24:16 Stepping away from church activity24:48 “It's what Jesus would do.”25:02 Final testimony & invitation Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

In Luke 5:12–14, Jesus does the unthinkable—He touches a leper.Leprosy wasn't treated as a sickness. It was treated as death. Isolation. Exile. Shame. The living dead.But when this man falls before Jesus and says, “If you are willing…,” Jesus responds with both power and compassion: “I am willing.” And immediately, everything changes.This message reveals the Kingdom Way—Jesus doesn't just restore people FROM death. He restores them TO community. Grace brings us back to life, and it brings us back home.

Our sense of identity determines how we interact. In this teaching I break this down and talk about how shame is a program running in the background for most people that prevents them from living their best life. If we understand what is happening we can work with and change it. If you appreciate my work please consider a donation at, "paypal.me/newdayglobal". Thank you!

If you've ever stood in the kitchen thinking,“I know what to do… so why can't I stop?” - this is for you.Because underneath the cravings that we are fighting, holds the wisdom that is trying to guide you. In this episode, I share one of the most vulnerable turning points in my own relationship with food, a moment where I knew exactly what I “should” be doing… and still felt pulled into the kitchen by something stronger.For years, I believed that if I just had more discipline, more knowledge, more control, I'd finally feel at peace. But what I discovered in that moment changed everything.Cravings aren't weakness.And they're not a lack of willpower.They're communication. A calling from deep within us, trying to get our attention. When you learn how to pause, listen, and decode what's really happening beneath the urge, something powerful shifts. The inner war softens. Shame dissolves. And self-trust grows. In this video, you'll learn:• Why knowing what to eat isn't enough• What's actually happening when you feel an urge with food• How cravings can become a doorway to knowing ourselves more deeply• The foundational practice to move through emotional eating, overeating, and challenging patterns with food and deepen the trust you feel, within yourself. chapters: 00:00 The Moment You Realize It's Not About Food00:37 Why “Knowing Better” Doesn't Stop the Pull02:55 When Everything Slowed Down (And the Urge Got Louder)04:53 The Granola Moment That Changed Everything09:16 What a Craving Is Really Trying to Show You14:15 How to Pause and Decode the Message19:22 Turning the Urge Into GrowthI hope this one gave you a new “aha” or breadcrumb on your path.

In this episode of Adulting With Autism, we sit down with Travis Cournoyer (Lucid Motors engineer, former startup CEO, and author of Courageous Curiosity: Find the Answers Where Everyone Else Is Afraid to Look) to talk about the kind of questions autistic adults and neurodivergent people often carry in silence—the ones we're afraid will make us look "stupid," "too much," or "difficult." Travis shares the moment that changed his life—moving from shame and silence in graduate school to building a career in high-pressure tech environments by doing the one thing many of us avoid: asking the question anyway. We unpack his definition of a "stupid question" (an honest question you've been shamed for asking), how to disrupt the shame spiral, and practical ways to start speaking up at work, in school, and in everyday life—without abandoning your authenticity. If you've ever felt like an alien trying to survive adulthood, this one will feel like belonging. Guest: Travis Cournoyer Book: Courageous Curiosity (Launch: Nov 14) Website: https://www.askanyway.org Topics: autism & adulting, masking, communication, workplace anxiety, shame resilience, neurodivergence, self-advocacy, confidence, asking questions, authenticity.

Send a textHave you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Why did I do that… again?”You care. You love them. You want it to work. And yet when things get intense, you shut down, go quiet, and disappear emotionally.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we unpack what avoidance really is (hint: it's not a character flaw) and why shutting down is often a nervous system protection strategy that once worked really well… but now costs you connection.You'll learn what's happening inside the avoidant partner, why the anxious partner panics when the conversation goes silent, and how this dynamic can trap both people in a loop of pressure, withdrawal, and resentment.Most importantly, we'll show you a different path: building emotional safety and emotional capacity in small, practical steps so you can come back to the table without spiraling or disappearing.Because shutting down isn't who you are. It's what you learned.And you can learn something new.In This Episode, We CoverWhy emotional withdrawal is one of the strongest predictors of relationship breakdownThe real reason avoidance happens (and why it can feel like danger in the body)What anxious partners often do in response, and why it accidentally makes things worseHow both partners end up in “shutdown” in different waysThe shift from courtroom energy (punishment + certainty) to classroom energy (curiosity + skill-building)What emotional safety actually is (and why it's not the same as comfort)A simple “start here” practice: rebuilding safety in 5-minute roundsA quick emotional temperature check (1–10) to know when you're resourced enough to talkHow to get support if you're stuck in the avoidant/anxious loopTimestamps: 03:08 Debunking the ‘They Don't Care' Story: Everyone Can Be Avoidant04:13 What Shutdown Feels Like in the Body (A Real-Life Example)07:42 Pressure Makes It Worse: The Partner's Panic & the Stories We Make Up08:40 Anxious vs. Avoidant: Opposite Coping Styles Collide09:48 The CPR Metaphor: Why Reassurance Can Feel Suffocating11:55 Shame, Self-Judgment, and the Spiral on Both Sides21:52 The Real Goal: Regulate First, Then Come Back to the Table25:54 ‘Understand Me First': How Conversations Turn Into Fights27:55 Be the First to Listen: How One Person Can De‑escalate the Fight28:56 Understanding Isn't Contagious: Compassion for Anxious vs. Avoidant Dynamics30:57 Stop Making Up Stories: Get the ‘Intel' From the Person, Not Your Head33:12 The Consensus Trap: Why Friends & Social Media Can't Explain Your Partner35:45 “They Don't Deserve It” vs. “You Do”: Regulate for Your Own Sake38:18 Courtroom vs. Classroom: Trade Punishment for Curiosity (and the Lightbulb Moment)41:32 Emotional Safety 101: It's Uncomfortable, Triggering, and Still Necessary42:28 The Safety ‘Cheat Sheet': Slow, Skillful Back‑and‑Forth (5 Minutes at a Time)50:09 Wrap-Up + Get Support: Key Takeaways, Next Episode, and Clarity Call52:05 Emotional Capacity ‘Temperature Check' + Closing Rituals

You think you can bury a heavy secret under the "daily grain" of a busy life, but like a silver coin in a shaken bag, the past eventually rises to the top. This message reveals that the pressure you're feeling isn't God trying to destroy you, but a surgical move to bring what is hidden into the light for real healing. Whether you're hiding a mistake or carrying a trauma you didn't cause, facing the truth is the first step toward God calling you back to wholeness.Watch this message on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: #thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Why does sex often become uncomfortable, pressured, or disconnected in midlife — even in loving relationships?Book a Discovery Call for Relationship Renovation CoachingIn this episode, EJ and Tarah are joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles, board-certified gynecologist and national menopause expert, to explore what she calls The Bedroom Gap — the growing difference in expectations, desire, and physical experience that many couples face as they age.They discuss why so many women feel broken or ashamed when intimacy changes, why couples rarely talk openly about it, and how hormonal shifts, cultural messaging, and outdated definitions of sex create disconnection.Dr. Sophocles shares three essential steps to closing the gap:• Know thyself — understanding your body, hormones, and pleasure• Communicate — removing shame and learning to talk honestly about sex• Redefine sex — shifting from performance and obligation to connection and pleasureYou will also hear about:• How perimenopause and menopause impact desire and comfort• Why pain during sex often leads to avoidance and fear• How shame silently fuels disconnection• Why redefining sex beyond penetration changes everything• The difference between obligation-based sex and connection-based intimacy• How couples can rebuild trust after long periods of distanceThis episode is especially helpful if:• Intimacy feels tense, painful, or avoided• One partner feels rejected while the other feels pressured• Hormonal changes have shifted desire• You miss feeling close but do not know how to start again• Shame makes it hard to talk about sexThis is an honest, hopeful conversation about sexual health, emotional safety, and rediscovering pleasure in long-term relationships.Dr. Sophocles links below: The Bedroom Gap: Rewrite the Rules and Roles of Sex in Midlifehttps://mariasophoclesmd.com/Learn More About Relationship RenovationOrder Relationship Renovation at Home Manual from AmazonJoin Our Patreon CommunitySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/he-said-she-said/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Accountability doesn't require shame. This episode explores proactive, relational approaches to holding people to standards while preserving trust and motivation.

In this clinician-focused episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker sits down with Lincoln Stoller to explore how moral gating, progress narratives, and interpretive intrusion quietly shape the therapeutic encounter. Drawing from embodied tracking, neural imprinting, pacing, and relational attunement, this conversation moves beyond technique into the lived tension between guidance and control, confusion and clarity, progress and presence.Together, they examine how unconscious and subconscious patterns surface in the therapy room—especially at the edge point where shame, guilt, and identity defense activate. What happens when the therapist becomes the canvas for projection? When does “progress” become moral pressure? And how do we track rupture before it becomes relational collapse?This episode is grounded in the live exchange between Jeffrey and Lincoln, highlighting the nuanced interplay of boundary, capacity, and commitment in real time .Guest Highlight:Lincoln Stoller is a therapist and educator whose work integrates hypnotherapy, neurofeedback, and experiential reframing, inviting clients into generative confusion as a pathway to change.Three Core TakeawaysProgress vs. PresenceThe drive for forward movement can subtly become moral pressure—both for therapist and client. Tracking embodied cues helps differentiate authentic movement from identity-driven urgency.Moral Gating at the EdgeShame and guilt often surface at the boundary of growth. Without careful pacing and attunement, therapeutic direction can inadvertently reinforce the very defenses it seeks to soften.Relational Field AwarenessSubtle cues—eye aversion, breath shifts, withdrawal—signal rupture before narrative explanation does. Regulation and sequencing matter more than insight alone.Timestamp00:03 – Framing the Conversation04:30 – Client Story vs. Therapeutic Direction17:55 – Progress, Suggestion, and Intrusion24:48 – Tracking Rupture in Real Time32:15 – The Edge of Capacity38:33 – Therapist Identity & Fixing45:42 – Embodied Tracking & Neural Imprinting59:12 – Live Relational Processing1:04:02 – “You Are Allowed to Moralize”Why This Episode MattersFor trauma-informed clinicians, supervisors, and advanced practitioners, this dialogue illuminates how easily therapeutic intention can slide into subtle moralization—and how relational attunement, pacing, and embodied awareness restore coherence within the field.If your work involves navigating shame, rupture, identity threat, or high-performing clients who resist vulnerability, this conversation offers a nuanced lens into how growth actually unfolds—at the edge.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Lincoln StollerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

Mental clarity and physical wellbeing can be deeply cultivated, and still something continues to loop beneath the surface. Old patterns resurface, familiar emotions flood the body, and the same inner reactions repeat despite years of conscious work.    Energetic health lives in the layer where these loops originate, outside of linear time, stored not as stories but as programs within the body's field. When energetic care is prioritized alongside mental and physical practices, the body is no longer forced to protect through outdated survival responses.    Shame, fear, judgment, and inner criticism are revealed not as personal flaws, but as intelligent signals asking for an update.    Through energetic awareness and intentional repair, the body becomes an ally rather than a battleground, allowing life force, intuition, and spiritual connection to move freely again.    This is the level where true integration happens and where long-standing patterns finally soften, reorganize, and release.   I love you.   Xoxo, Sarah Helpful Links:   Join us in THE JOURNEY Our mentorship portal https://sarahnoble.com/journey/   Subscribe to our Substack for exclusive teachings and content.  https://snoble.substack.com/   The Devotion Codes is a FREE transmission that guides you out of the cycle of self-discipline and self-control, and into the loving embrace of self-devotion.

Ep. 234 Have you ever felt resentment, guilt, or shame and then judged yourself for feeling that? In Part 2 of The Return to Self, I'm inviting you to look at those emotions differently — not as signs that something is wrong with you, but as signals that something within you needs compassion and release. In this episode, I share personal reflections, gentle questions, and practical steps to help you start loosening your grip on these emotional burdens — not by forcing yourself to “fix” them, but by allowing yourself to feel them with compassion.

There was a woman in the Bible who was caught in sin. Caught, humiliated, and dragged before a crowd ready to kill her. Then, Jesus stepped in. He simply said, “Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone.” Slowly, one by one, they walked away. But Jesus looked at the woman and said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.” He didn't excuse what she'd done—but He offered mercy, not shame.  Jesus does this today. He doesn't want our perfection. He wants us to come to Him, and He is quick to replace our guilt with His grace. Be encouraged by this today: Jesus is waiting to meet you with love that sets you free. You can pray right now: “Jesus, I want to know You. Cleanse my heart, and give me a new start today. In Jesus name, amen.” Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau.
