  The Healing of Silence Shedding Your Trauma Secrets 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 71   "No one spoke about their feelings, their pain, their grief. It was all swept under the carpet - like it didn't exist." ~ Keeping trauma a secret has real consequences. The research is clear. Trauma memories that you keep a secret, that you never speak about... can lead to increased psychological and physical problems, including a heightened and overactive stress response, bouts of unexpected and often uncontrollable anxiety and fear when you are triggered by the past, shame, self-isolation, and difficulties forming and maintaining healthy relationships. Keeping trauma a secret definitely hinders the healing process and creates a sense of ongoing victimization. In this episode, the real life stories of how damaging it is to keep trauma a secret and my best recommendations for how you can begin to name the truth and to speak about it in a way that will help you effectively heal. *This episode contains sensitive content.   + Our NEW 30 Day Masterclass has landed ~ #30DaysofPresence ~ It has a different vibe, a fresh new approach and it's the perfect complement to that sweet mid-summer magic that we all want to hold onto.

A Prayer of Self-Mothering The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 70   Self-mothering is the practice of providing yourself with the love, care and support you may not have received nor received as you needed it - whether as a child, or at any earlier time in your development. It involves nurturing your "inner child", addressing unmet emotional and physical needs and it includes fostering a deep sense of self-love and acceptance.

Arnold dives deep into the biblical truth found in Proverbs 24:3: “By wisdom a house is built.” But this conversation goes far beyond bricks and mortar. It's about how wisdom builds lasting financial peace, emotional stability, spiritual strength and generational security. Whether you're rebuilding from scratch or wondering why your life keeps feeling unstable, this episode is your blueprint for building a life that doesn't crumble under pressure. If you've been feeling like you're constantly starting over — in your money, marriage, business, or spiritual walk — this one's for you. It's time to move beyond vibes and good intentions and start building with wisdom. Key Discussion Points 00:08 – Why life keeps feeling like constant rebuilding 02:29 – The biblical foundation: “By wisdom a house is built” 03:10 – The lie of hustle culture vs. the truth of strategic wisdom 05:22 – What kind of “house” are you really building? 07:42 – Living like renters vs. building like owners 09:52 – Why your efforts keep collapsing: lack of blueprint, not effort 10:51 – Wisdom is skillful living, not just head knowledge 13:07 – What it costs to build well in life, finances, relationships, and purpose 14:27 – Wisdom costs less than the price of regret 15:41 – Understanding: the key to building something that lasts 19:34 – The danger of building without foundations 21:40 – Real-life examples of houses we inherited but need to rebuild 24:03 – The hidden power of digging deep before building up 26:05 – Wisdom in finances, relationships, careers, and spiritual life 33:16 – What's tearing your house down? Voices of noise: urgency, ego, culture, distraction 39:34 – Reclaiming wisdom: asking God and quieting the noise 40:19 – Coming next: Sharpening your tools – working smarter not harder Highlights From The Episode Wisdom isn't a vibe—it's a strategy. It builds homes, strengthens relationships, stabilises finances and shapes legacy. You don't need more effort, just sharper tools (Ecclesiastes 10:10). Rental mindsets don't produce ownership outcomes. Tenants wait for peace—owners build it. Storms come, but damage isn't inevitable (Matthew 7). Lasting impact requires depth, not just construction. Your struggle might be a season of digging— Wisdom starts underground, clearing trauma, ego and inherited dysfunction. Practical Steps You Can Take ·         Audit your finances: Review your last three months of spending. Create a budget and address debt. See Proverbs 21:5. ·         Rethink your relationships: Are they rooted in truth and tested under pressure? ·         Stop chasing titles—build skills: Focus on excellence now; let God open doors in His time. ·         Slow down spiritually: Reconnect with reverence. Let the fear of the Lord be your foundation (Proverbs 9:10). ·         Silence the noise: Temporarily log off social media. Let your mind be still enough to hear wisdom again. ·         Start rebuilding: Whether you inherited broken patterns or just got distracted, wisdom and understanding allow you to rebuild stronger than before. Relevant Themes Covered Biblical wisdom and personal transformation Faith-based financial stewardship Emotional and spiritual resilience Building generational legacy Rejecting hustle culture for holy strategy Identifying and overcoming the lies of urgency, ego, distraction, and comparison Applying Proverbs and Jesus' teachings practically Connect with RTB For podcast updates, exclusive daily devotional emails and more, join the RTB community!

“We need to care more about believing what is true than being right and being proved right.” - Bo BennetWith outrage-bait, memes and “gotcha” clips swarming every feed, being able to think about our thinking is no longer optional. Social psychologist, entrepreneur and Positive Humanism author Dr Bo Bennett joins host James Hodgson to show why critical thinking is a life skill for everyone, not a luxury for academics. Drawing on decades spent dissecting logical fallacies (plus a generous dose of humour), Bo maps out how we can swap combativeness for curiosity—and outrage for evidence—in our daily conversations.

This episode delves into the use of substitute questions—simpler queries we use to answer more complex ones—and the crucial concept of cohesion between these substitutes and our true objectives. You'll learn how to leverage counterfactual thinking to scrutinize your assumptions and enhance the effectiveness of your decisions. Discover two powerful counterfactual techniques: asking "what else could be true?" to reveal alternative explanations, and employing thought experiments to, for example, precisely define your desires and career aspirations. The discussion offers practical applications, from refining hiring processes by identifying high-cohesion interview criteria to avoiding confirmation bias in debugging. By adopting counterfactual thinking, you can significantly improve your analytical skills, make more informed choices, and build robust strategies.Uncover how cognitively taxing questions lead us to use substitute questions as heuristics, and why understanding the cohesion between these is vital for accurate decision-making.Learn to implement "counterfactual thinking" to rigorously check your heuristics and substitute questions, ensuring they effectively align with your actual goals and underlying evaluations.Discover two key counterfactual techniques: exploring "what else could be true?" to identify alternative explanations for observations, and conducting thought experiments to clarify nuanced personal and professional desires.Explore practical applications of counterfactuals to drastically improve processes like hiring, by challenging low-signal interview criteria (e.g., LeetCode problems) and making more predictive assessments of candidates.Understand how counterfactuals can combat biases like confirmation bias in problem-solving, such as debugging, by prompting you to consider alternative causes and avoid poor pathways of biased logic.Realise the transformative power of counterfactual thinking in refining your thinking process, improving your career trajectory, and enhancing departmental operations by identifying and improving low-cohesion substitutions.

On this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we have an interesting one- in fact, it's been one that I've been curious about for some time. How do chefs get their knives sharpened? Do they send them off one-by-one? Do they do them themselves? We caught up with a local mobile knife sharpener to get the answers. We talk to Tyler Eck of Honed-In Sharpening. But before we do that?!?! FOOD NEWS!! Last week, the downtown Springdale Street Dinner picked their chef, and he's set the menu. We'll hear from Bienvenue's William Mauk. The Park House Kitchen and Bar took on serious roof damage in last week's storms. They're having a Raise the Roof party – we have the details! There's a new Italian restaurant in east Springdale. We'll tell you about Palermo's. We tell you about the cohorts that won Cureate grants this year The Market Center of the Ozarks opens this week! It's the week of the Bentonville BBQ Fest. You won't believe how many competitors are coming to this event! A new softserve/coffee trailer has opened at the 8th Street Market Happy Anniversary today to Meiji! Tyler Eck kind of fell into sharpening knives... it wasn't what he originally wanted to do, but he was hoping that this would get him in the door to doing what he had originally wanted... Little did he know that sharpening is what he'd fall in love with. He sharpens more than knives- if it's got a sharp edge, chances are he can sharpen it. He'll tell us the list of what he sharpens... so far. And yes, you don't have to be a professional chef or stylist to get you blades sharpened by Tyler, as he sharpened a few things for me... quickly. In fact, he does it during the interview. We talk with Tyler Eck of Honed In Sharpening, next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
