This week, Melanie sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Adriana Stacey to discuss new research showing how social media use in adolescence may be changing the way our kids think.Most parents know that excessive screen time can impact mood and sleep, but Dr. Stacey explains how it goes much deeper — affecting attention, memory, and even language development. Together, they explore what's happening inside the adolescent brain, why even “moderate” social media use can interfere with learning, and what parents can do to protect cognitive growth during these crucial years.You'll also hear the story of one teen whose focus and motivation began to unravel with increased online use — and how simple changes helped restore his ability to think clearly and engage again in real life.Key Takeaways:How social media overstimulates the brain's reward systemWhy cognitive performance may decline even with moderate useThe “opportunity cost” of screen time — what our kids lose when they scrollPractical steps for helping teens build stronger focus and healthier habitsIf you've ever wondered whether your child's smartphone is interfering with their ability to think, focus, and learn, this episode is for you.Access FREE "Undoing Choices" DownloadSupport the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Send us a textWhat if fire isn't just something you watch, but a teacher you can meet every day? We dive into simple, powerful practices that turn warmth and light into focus, courage, and creative momentum. Through breathwork, candle work, and mindful ritual, we build a steady relationship with the fire element that feels grounded, safe, and genuinely useful.We start with solar fire breathing at sunrise, drawing golden energy into the heart and sending a beam back to the sun. That exchange sets the tone for the day and activates the solar plexus—confidence, direction, and calm drive. Then we move into a clear, safety‑first walkthrough of Breath of Fire: posture, pacing, diaphragmatic pumping, and how to prevent dizziness by resting and using brief holds. You'll learn when to use it, how to slow down afterward, and why this yogic breath is so effective for sharpening attention before work or workouts.From there, we reimagine candle gazing as dialogue. Instead of passive staring, you create a yes or no language with your flame, ask practical questions, and train your intuition to notice subtle cues. We also lean into embodiment: mirror the flame's dance to bring heat into the body, then close the loop with offerings—bay leaf, cinnamon, or tobacco—and fire safety essentials. Finally, we explore scrying with the flame to read symbols, confirm insights, and turn intuition into action. It's a toolkit you can return to daily: solar breathing, Breath of Fire, candle dialogue, movement, offerings, and scrying—not as superstition, but as a mindful way to kindle clarity and agency.We're also sharing a guided fire shamanic journey on Patreon this Wednesday and welcoming a Diné shamanic practitioner next week to deepen the practices around the fire element. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves breathwork or ritual, and leave a quick review—then tell us which practice lit you up most.Support the showDon't miss out on more tips & fun!

Send us a textFire can burn a forest—or ignite a life. We explore how to partner with this element as a teacher and gatekeeper, harnessing its power for clarity, creativity, and compassionate strength without courting harm. From the first safety rule to the last spark of inspiration, we ground big ideas in simple, repeatable practices you can start today.We trace living fire traditions across cultures: African ceremonies that attune through dance and chant; North American peace pipe rituals that convert the power to fight into the choice to reconcile; Celtic shapeshifting and the transformative hearth; South American song circles that turn voices into a circuit of energy over coals; Australian Dreaming work entered through didgeridoo trance; and Siberian sweat lodges where drumming opens the spirit world. Rather than imitation, the lesson is reverence—honor lineage, seek guidance when needed, and build an ethical, personal relationship with flame.Practical tools fill the second half. Learn candle gazing to sync breath and attention with a safe flame. Try fire scrying with a clear intention and a respectful offering, then read symbols with your own intuition. Use full-moon burn rituals to release what's complete, and new-moon fire ceremonies to call in what you're ready to create. Offer your art—sketches, songs, dances—to invite momentum into your work, and carry the metaphor into daily life by remembering that every small spark mirrors the one in you.If this conversation gave you a new way to think about fire—safer, deeper, more creative—tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find these practices.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, host Melanie Hempe sits down with Amy Eytchison, a mother of four grown children, to have an honest conversation about one of the most overlooked issues in parenting today: video game addiction among boys.While the nation is finally waking up to the dangers of smartphones and social media for our daughters, many parents are missing the other half of the digital crisis—our sons, who are quietly slipping away behind glowing screens. Together, Melanie and Amy uncover why gaming is not “just a game,” how it preys on boys' developmental needs, and why so many young men are struggling to launch in life.They discuss the cultural blind spots keeping parents in denial—like “he's safe at home,” “he's smart, so I'm not worried,” or “it's just how boys socialize”—and reveal the neuroscience behind why gaming can rewire a child's brain and fuel depression, loneliness, and loss of purpose.Whether you're a parent, educator, or friend, this is an essential listen for anyone who cares about helping today's boys grow into strong, healthy, and purpose-driven young men.Resources Mentioned:Start your family's 7-Day or 30-Day Digital Detox through the ScreenStrong Connect community.Explore the Kids' Brains & Screens Home Edition for science-based tools and family conversation guides.Visit ScreenStrong.org for more information, resources, and upcoming events.Articles Referenced:"Tyler Robinson and America's Lost Boys”'Failing at life': Psychiatrists reveal what made Tyler Robinson ideal lone wolf in Charlie Kirk caseThe Psychology of Charlie Kirk Killer Tyler Robinson Predicted by PsychiatristSupport the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

“ Don't be a jack of all social media sites, master of none.” Host Laurie Barkman interviews digital marketing expert Corey Perlman of Impact Social. They discuss Corey's entrepreneurial journey influenced by his parents' careers, the evolving landscape of digital marketing, and the role and potential of AI in the industry. Corey shares insights on building and managing successful teams, the importance of focusing on key social media platforms, and the power of video content. Additionally, he touches on his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and his involvement in the Nurturing Fathers Program alongside his father, Mark. Listeners receive actionable digital marketing tips and inspiration for balancing entrepreneurship with personal purpose.   Takeaways: Pay attention to what the market is asking for. Follow positive signals when exploring new business opportunities or services instead of pushing an idea that isn't gaining traction. Prioritize platforms that align with your target demographics instead of attempting to be active on all social media platforms. Focus on a few and do them exceptionally well. Focus on the emotional and cultural fit of potential team members rather than just their resume. Enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a good cultural fit can often outweigh experience. Stay open to learning and adapting over time. The industry changes rapidly, and keeping updated with new tools and practices will help you and your business stay competitive.   Quote of the Show: “ Don't be a jack of all social media sites, master of none.” - Corey Perlman   This Show Is Sponsored by The Business Transition Sherpa® 100 percent of owners will leave their business one day.

Send us a textHeat can heal or harm—it depends on how we hold it. Rainbow Raaja dives into the fire element this month as a living ally for courage, creativity, protection, and renewal. Learn from nature's fierce teachers—volcanoes and wildfires—the everyday craft of building containers to keep passion bright without burning us out. I share the symbolism of how fire's wisdom helps us build strong boundaries, focus our passion and light a torch for safer self‑advocacy.As with every month, we open with a four‑path tarot spread tailored to where you can begin to work with fire. The Stone helps you swap defensiveness for accountability and light. The Seed points to teamwork, collaboration, and bringing ideas into form on fertile ground. The Medallion recognizes initiation through service, inviting inspiration to flow. The Castle brings it home—literal hearth and relationships—where risk, truth, and small daily actions can restore trust, steadiness, and warmth. Throughout, we focus on sustainable drive, simple boundaries that stick, and clear choices that honor both heart and passion.To deepen the work, I guide a breath‑led fire activation with Reiki and light codes, drawing heat from the belly through the heart and into focused action. The transmission ends with a vision of the sun—the most generous fire we know—reminding us that steady warmth grows forests, nourishes bodies, and brightens resolve. If you're ready to turn scattered sparks into a steady flame—for art, career, protection, or love—this conversation offers practical structure, intuitive guidance, and a grounded path forward.

In today's episode, Melanie sits down with Beth, a high school teacher, to hear her firsthand experience with the new phone-free classroom policy this school year.Beth shares the contrast between last year's inconsistent approach—where teachers set their own phone rules, leading to confusion and frustration—and this year's unified, zero-tolerance policy: no phones, headphones, smartwatches, or personal devices from bell to bell.The results have been remarkable. Students are talking and connecting with each other, engaging more with their teachers, and showing up to class happier, less stressed, and better rested. Teachers are noticing fewer distractions, better focus, and improved productivity in class.Of course, there are challenges to keep an eye on, like students attempting to sneak in earbuds or use smartwatches, and some adjusting to moments of boredom without their devices. But overall, the shift has been transformative—for both students and teachers.This episode offers an inspiring look at what really happens when schools go phone-free.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Send us a textHave you ever felt a strange pull toward a specific tree in a forest, or found yourself inexplicably drawn to a particular stone? That's no coincidence—it's the earth element calling to you, inviting you to remember an ancient conversation we've nearly forgotten.In this soul-stirring exploration of the earth element, I guide you through accessible practices to rebuild your connection with the natural world. Our modern lives, saturated with digital distractions and constant connectivity to technology rather than nature, have severed our ancestral bond with the earth. Yet this foundation element remains essential for manifesting our dreams, creating stability, and experiencing true abundance in all forms.Through detailed instruction, you'll learn to communicate with trees using your expanded energy field and receptive awareness. Unlike human conversation, tree wisdom comes through multiple channels—bodily sensations, mental images, emotional impressions, or simply knowing. I share my personal experiences communicating with trees since childhood and how these relationships become powerful allies on your spiritual journey.The episode also covers crystal communication techniques. Unlike trees that project energy outward, rocks require you to bring your awareness inward, creating a shared consciousness. For beginners, rock divination offers a simple yet profound practice—finding symbols in stone patterns that provide guidance on life's challenges.Creating your personalized earth practice doesn't require elaborate tools or extensive knowledge. It starts with selecting a sacred space, incorporating natural elements that resonate with your specific needs, and approaching the practice with reverence and intention. Whether you seek emotional stability, mental clarity, or physical healing, the earth element can be customized to address your unique journey.Podcast ReferencesReiki Level 1 - Season 6 Episode 2 & 3Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical HerbsIf you are local to the Seattle, WA area - Join me at my Medicine Rattle Making Workshop on November 16, 2025.

Clyde Simpson shares his powerful insights on spiritual growth and development, offering a clear roadmap for Christians to move from spiritual infancy to full maturity through proper understanding of Scripture.• The vast majority (99%) of Christians never progress beyond spiritual infancy due to lack of proper teaching• Romans provides the foundational doctrine for Christian growth, with Corinthians offering reproof and Galatians providing correction• Understanding which books of the Bible were written specifically to Gentile believers versus Jewish believers provides crucial context• The growth process follows three steps: understanding God's love (Romans 1-9), responding to that love (Romans 10), and being transformed (Romans 12)• Christians often take Scripture out of context because they're taught to jump between different passages without understanding their purpose• Spiritual growth happens automatically when believers plant the Word in their hearts and renew their minds• Christ's sacrifice addresses wholeness in all three dimensions: spiritual, mental, and physical• Moving beyond spiritual infancy requires a clear understanding of doctrine before advancing to deeper teachingsFind Clyde Simpson's books, including "Spiritual Growth and Development from Babe to Full Maturity" and "Christian Leadership: Honor, Reverence and Respect for God in His Word" on Amazon or at ClydeSimpsonBooks.com.Support the showDON'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EMERGENCY, PLUS, SAVE 15%: https://www.twc.health/elsa#ifounditonamazon https://a.co/ekT4dNOTRY AUDIBLE PLUS: https://amzn.to/3vb6Rw3Elsa's Books: https://www.amazon.com/~/e/B01E1VFRFQDesign Like A Pro: https://canva.7eqqol.net/xg6Nv...

Across every continent, indigenous cultures have developed profound relationships with the earth element that modern society has largely forgotten.In this journey through global shamanic traditions, we explore how diverse cultures—from African tribes to Aboriginal Australians, Siberian nomads to Andean peoples—have honored their sacred connection to earth. These aren't merely historical curiosities but living practices that continue to provide stability, nourishment, and spiritual grounding to communities worldwide.The earth element speaks to us through countless voices: the trees in your neighborhood, the insects buzzing around flowers, the stones that catch your eye on a morning walk. I'll guide you through fascinating earth-honoring rituals including West African ancestor offerings poured into soil, Aboriginal songlines mapped through music rather than roads, Siberian shamans playing drums while barefoot to connect with Mother Earth's heartbeat, and Native American medicine wheels representing elemental balance.What unites these diverse traditions is a simple truth: the earth isn't just something we walk upon—it's present in every living organism, the foundation of our stability and abundance. For those struggling with feelings of disconnection or seeking a sense of belonging, these ancient practices offer surprising relevance to modern life.By the end of our time together, you'll discover simple yet profound ways to communicate with the natural world around you. Whether it's sitting with your back against a tree trunk, observing a bee with childlike wonder, or expressing gratitude to the wooden table in your home—these small acts of connection can transform your relationship with the world and yourself.Listen now to begin your own dialogue with the earth element, and join us next week when we'll implement practical rituals you can incorporate into daily life while honoring the elders who preserved these traditions.

It's almost Destination D23 weekend, but this year something's missing. For the first time in recent memory, there's no big Disney Parks panel and that changes everything. Normally this is the moment Disney fans gather for announcements and future park teases. Instead, we're left with a few scattered panels, a lot of questions, and just maybe a glimmer of hope for a Villains Land reveal.In this off-season episode, the Idiots dig into why Disney might be holding back, how last year's mixed reception could be shaping their strategy, and what the lack of a panel says about the relationship between the company and its fans. We also share our fantasy Parks Panel predictions, from safe bets to wild long shots, because even when the news is quiet the speculation is loud.Settle in and join us as we unpack what could have been or what may be.Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to check us out on Instagram!
