Do you ever feel called by God, but completely unqualified to walk it out? Like everyone else is confident and capable, while you're battling comparison, doubt, and that quiet fear that you're not enough? In this episode, I'm sitting down with my real-life friend, Marisa Anderson, who leads City Church alongside her husband in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and helps women silence the lies that keep them small. Together, we unpack imposter syndrome, waiting seasons, stepping into leadership when you don't feel ready, and how to stay rooted in the truth of who God says you are. If you've been second-guessing your calling or shrinking back from what God asked you to do, this conversation will give you the grounding, clarity, and confidence you've been praying for. I pray this blesses you! Want to join Marisa's upcoming retreat? Get all the details HERE.   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

In this powerful episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes brothers deep into the heart of awakened relationships - what he calls Alpha relationships - and reveals why most modern partnerships are built on misunderstanding, incompleteness, and unconscious need. Broadcasting from Tulum, Mexico, Kevin opens with reflections on the land, the energy, and the sense of peace that reconnects him to a timeless part of himself. From that grounded presence, he pivots into the core teaching of today's episode: what happens when two awakening beings encounter one another in relationship.Kevin explains the fundamental distinction between beta relationships - rooted in lack, need, codependency, and the ego's belief in incompleteness - and alpha relationships, which arise from wholeness, recognition, and conscious connection. Most people aren't falling in love, he explains; they're falling into need. They're entering relationships trying to fill a void within themselves. Two half-filled cups pouring into each other, emptying and refilling, never realizing the fullness must first come from within.But when two alphas meet - two awakening individuals who know who they are, who have remembered their true nature - everything changes. Alphas do not need each other. And it is the absence of need that creates the presence of true freedom, genuine intimacy, effortless communication, and deep mutual respect.Kevin reveals how awakened communication differs from ego communication: alphas aren't defending positions, playing games, or seeking validation. They're playing, exploring, listening, and learning from each other. They can fully disagree without conflict because neither identifies with the mind or its opinions. Silence becomes meaningful. Differences become invitations to expand. Mystery becomes celebrated rather than controlled.The episode dives into emotional mastery within awakened relationships - why alphas don't create drama, don't cling, don't possess, don't manipulate, and don't collapse into fear of abandonment. Kevin reminds us that only children and animals can be abandoned. Adults cannot. An alpha knows he is whole, complete, and unbroken - no matter what another person chooses.Kevin then explores physical intimacy, describing the spiritual and tantric depth that emerges when two alphas meet in sexual connection - not for validation, conquest, or escape, but as a conscious dance of awareness, play, and presence.He also speaks about conflict, growth, generosity, separation, and the natural rhythms of coming together and moving apart. In awakened relationships, there is no clinging. Space is not a threat. Change is not fear. Love is attraction and freedom, breath in and breath out.Ultimately, Kevin reminds brothers that after awakening, life still looks the same on the outside - chop wood, carry water - but the inner world transforms completely. Relationships don't change; the one who is in the relationship changes.This episode closes with the profound truth: when two alphas recognize each other, a field of consciousness is created that affects everyone around them. A relationship becomes not two separate beings in love, but love recognizing itself.Elevate your alpha, brothers.

On September fifth, nineteen eighty two, twelve year old Johnny Gosch walked out of his West Des Moines home before dawn to deliver newspapers and vanished without a trace. His case changed America forever, leading to the first missing child on a milk carton and landmark legislation that transformed how we handle abducted children.But the story most people know barely scratches the surface of what really happened.In this episode of The Redacted Report, we dig into the buried facts, the covered-up connections, and the questions that powerful people have spent four decades trying to silence.We begin with Police Chief Orval Cooney, the man tasked with finding Johnny. What most people don't know is that Cooney had a violent past, including a nineteen fifty one assault conviction. Just months before Johnny disappeared, eighteen of his own officers went on record accusing him of brutality, harassment, and drinking on duty. When volunteers searched for Johnny, witnesses say Cooney climbed onto a picnic table and told everyone to go home, calling the missing boy a damn runaway. He stonewalled the family at every turn until his sudden death in two thousand three, just as a lawsuit was about to expose what he knew. Then there's the newspaper itself. Johnny delivered papers for the Des Moines Register, the same company that employed Frank Sykora, who admitted to molesting at least seven paperboys, and Wilbur Millhouse, a former circulation manager found with a list of twenty two hundred boys' names when he was arrested. Millhouse reportedly told people for years that he knew who took Johnny and why. We examine the chilling prediction made two months before thirteen year old Eugene Martin vanished in nineteen eighty four. According to Noreen Gosch, a private investigator warned her another paperboy would be taken the second weekend of August on the south side of Des Moines. She passed this information to authorities. They did nothing. Eugene disappeared exactly when and where predicted. The episode explores the proof of life that emerged after Johnny's abduction. A confirmed sighting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where investigators said a boy crying for help was positively identified as Johnny. A dollar bill with his authenticated signature surfacing in Sioux City three years later. Signs that Johnny was alive, somewhere, trying to send a message. We dive deep into the Franklin Credit Union scandal and the testimony of Paul Bonacci, who claimed he was forced to participate in Johnny's kidnapping. Bonacci knew physical details about Johnny that weren't public knowledge. A federal judge ruled his testimony truthful and awarded him one million dollars in a civil judgment. Yet police never interviewed him about the Gosch case.he investigation into Franklin led to tragedy. State investigator Gary Caradori was collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, building a case against powerful people. On July eleventh, nineteen ninety, his plane came apart in midair over an Illinois cornfield. He and his eight year old son were killed. His briefcase of newly obtained evidence was never recovered. A documentary about the scandal called Conspiracy of Silence was pulled from the Discovery Channel before it could air. We trace the trafficking network run by John David Norman, a career predator whose operations spanned decades. His thirty thousand customer index cards were sent to the State Department and destroyed. His associate Phillip Paske worked for John Wayne Gacy. Investigators following witness testimony found an abandoned Colorado ranch with a hidden underground chamber and children's initials carved into the walls. The episode covers Noreen Gosch's claim that Johnny visited her in nineteen ninety seven, fifteen years after his disappearance, and the mysterious envelope of photographs left on her doorstep in two thousand six showing bound and gagged children, one of whom she believes is her son. Johnny Gosch would be fifty five years old today. No arrests have ever been made. No body has ever been found. The West Des Moines Police Department still refuses to release their complete case file. Someone knows what happened that September morning. Someone drove the blue Ford Fairmont. Someone flicked that dome light three times. And someone has kept this secret for over four decades. This is the story they buried. This is The Redacted Report.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show once again: Child and foster care, religious abuse, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and satanic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, campaigner of historical child abuse, Founder of S.A.F.E. - Seek And Find Everyone abused in childhood, independent researcher and reporter, podcast regular, and someone I feel honored everyday to call my friend: Dave SharpFrom the moment he drew his first breath, Dave was an orphan - entrusted not to loving arms, but to the care of the Catholic Church, a place that should have been a haven of mercy. Instead, it became the gateway to sixteen years of unspeakable torment. From infancy through adolescence, he was trafficked across Scotland, passed like a shadow between hidden houses in Glasgow's darkest corners, where men sworn to holiness orchestrated rituals of pure evil. Dave and countless other children were drugged and delivered to satanic sex parties - violated by multiple predators amid scenes of calculated depravity. These were not random cruelties; they were the work of an organized network that deliberately targeted the most defenseless: orphans and children with no family, no voice, and nowhere to turn.His tormentors were not strangers in the night. They were the very priests, nuns, and officials who had vowed to protect him. The system meant to shield the vulnerable became the perfect hunting ground, proving a harrowing truth: the safest place for a predator is the one that grants unlimited, unquestioned access to children.Yet out of this abyss rose an indomitable spirit. At sixteen, Dave shattered his chains and stepped into freedom, though the scars walk with him still. Survivors seek him out, drawn to his unbreakable courage, sharing stories that echo his own. These are not isolated tragedies; they are the unmistakable evidence of a rot that ran deep, hidden behind collars and titles.But make no mistake: Dave is no mere victim. He is a warrior forged in fire, anchored by a profound and unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. In his darkest moment he proclaimed with gratitude: “I am so grateful that God has chosen me to go out and show the evil that exists in Scotland and to tell the world to put His children first.”And that is exactly what Dave will be doing today. For weeks on end, Dave has been travelling across Scotland, campaigning for and connecting with countless other survivors across his country. And today we will hear the continued testimony of Dave's advocacy work and what he has learned and discovered on his journeys. You will not want to miss a moment of this episode. What Dave has discovered is disturbing, concerning, and upsetting, yet he brings hope to this conversation. There is simply no one who has pieced together the dirty underbelly of Scotland as Dave has, and with the sadness also comes revelations of solutions, healing, and ways we can stop this epidemic on our children in it's tracks.

In this episode, Petia explores why believers sometimes don't feel God emotionally and why this does NOT mean God is distant. She shares encouragement, Scripture, and seven biblical ways we often sense God that have nothing to do with feelings.   Key Points: Feelings are not the measure of God's presence. Exhaustion and motherhood deeply affect emotional sensitivity. God's presence is constant even when our awareness is low. Silence is often God deepening spiritual maturity. Practical steps to reconnect with God gently.   7 Ways We Sense God (Even Without Feelings): A verse becomes alive. Peace that doesn't make sense. Strength you didn't have before. Desire to pray, even weakly. Gentle conviction or redirection. Moments of comfort — music, words, quiet. Perseverance that comes from the Holy Spirit.   Scriptures Included: Psalm 42:5 James 4:8   Call to Action: Share this episode with a friend. Connect with Petia on Instagram @petiakolibova   Thank you for listening — remember, silence is not separation, and God is closer than your breath.

This year saw the release of two memoirs concerned with the Palestinian diasporic experience. Tareq Baconi's Fire in Every Direction is a story of queer adolescent unrequited love, braided together with a family history of displacement from Haifa to Beirut to Amman. Sarah Aziza's The Hollow Half is a story of surviving anorexia and the ways that the body holds the intergenerational grief of the ongoing Nakba. In this episode of On the Nose, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel speaks with Baconi and Aziza about what it means to claim Palestinianness as a political identity, not just a familial one, and the radical necessity of turning silence—around queerness, Gaza, the Nakba—into speech.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Books Mentioned and Further ReadingThe Hollow Half by Sarah AzizaFire in Every Direction by Tareq BaconiHamas Contained: The Rise and Pacification of Palestinian Resistance by Tareq Baconi“Al-Atlal, Now: On Language and Silence in Gaza's Wake,” Sarah Aziza, Literary Hub“The Work of the Witness,” Sarah Aziza, Jewish Currents“The Trap of Palestinian Participation,” Tareq Baconi, Jewish CurrentsBlack Atlantic by Paul Gilroy“Selling the Holocaust,” Arielle Angel, Menachem Kaiser, and Maia Ipp, Jewish CurrentsTranscript forthcoming.

Jeffrey Epstein weaponized silence by turning it into both a shield and a currency. He used money, legal force, intimidation, and psychological manipulation to ensure that the truth about his crimes stayed buried. Survivors were silenced through a combination of nondisclosure agreements, confidential settlements, and the constant threat of being crushed financially or reputationally if they spoke out. Epstein understood that isolation was power: young victims were made to believe no one would listen, that they would be discredited, or that speaking would only invite pain. Silence wasn't just encouraged—it was engineered, reinforced by lawyers who treated secrecy as a business model and institutions that found it more convenient to look away than to confront what he was doing.Epstein extended this strategy outward, using silence as leverage over powerful people and systems. His connections in politics, finance, academia, and law enforcement created a chilling effect where questions were discouraged and scrutiny was deflected. The 2008 non-prosecution agreement institutionalized that silence, protecting Epstein while gagging victims and shielding co-conspirators from exposure. Media hesitancy, prosecutorial inaction, sealed records, and backroom deals all worked in tandem to maintain the quiet. In the end, Epstein didn't just evade justice through wealth and influence—he constructed a vacuum where truth suffocated, and that silence became the most effective tool in sustaining his criminal enterprise for decades.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's most powerful ally was silence | Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky | The Guardian

Writer Pico Iyer stumbled into a lifelong practice of periodic retreat and reflection after he lost nearly everything in a 1990 wildfire that burned his family's house down. A friend suggested that he recuperate at a Benedictine monastery near Big Sur, California, and the calm he found there was life-altering. He began returning to the oceanside hermitage regularly, and slowing down became a fundamental part of his life and productive career. In this talk from the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival, Iyer shares what those times of silence have given him, and how he's learned to navigate tumult while always coming back to peace. Iyer's latest book is “Aflame: Learning from Silence,” and he's also the author of “The Half Known Life” and “The Art of Stillness,” among several other books and many essays.

I know you've felt like, in the past, you've been hesitant to share your true feelings and beliefs. Maybe you didn't want to offend that woman you were pursuing. Or, maybe you didn't want to upset your boss and run the risk of losing your job. Or, maybe you were afraid of what society or social media would say if you shared your true thoughts. My guest today, Father Stephen Gadberry, is familiar with all of that in a way that many of us relate with. As a Catholic priest, US Air Force Veteran, and American Ninja Warrior competitor, he knows how compelling public criticism can become. Today, Father Gadberry and I talk about discipline, what "turning the other cheek," really means, how to handle false accusations, what true accountability actually means, the difference between your "vocation," and "occupation," and how God will speak to all of us.

"In general, knowledge is power, and the more equipped we are with the tools we need, the better off we are.

Proverbs 17:25–28 highlights the grief that foolishness brings and the dignity that wisdom preserves. A foolish child becomes heartache to his parents, robbing them of joy. A wicked person distorts justice by accepting bribes, yet wise people restrain their words and govern their spirits. Even a fool seems wise when he keeps silent, for measured speech reveals understanding. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine how restraint, righteousness, and thoughtful silence reflect true wisdom—and how unchecked folly wounds families and corrupts justice.

#201: Tired of feeling whiplash from dating that starts strong, then fades by month three? We're pulling the curtain back on the pattern so many women recognize: consistent texts, thoughtful questions, future talk, and then a sudden dip in energy that gets explained away as “not ready” or “let's go with the flow.” We explore why these early signals feel like intention, how they set expectations, and what to do when words and actions stop matching.We dig into the deeper wiring, too. If inconsistency felt normal in childhood, your body might confuse unease with chemistry and intensity with safety. That's why steady effort can feel boring while the rollercoaster feels alive. We also unpack a subtler trend: when emotional intimacy becomes a shortcut to closeness—asking all the right questions without the capacity to maintain real responsibility. Masks don't just fall; they expire. Around the three to six month mark, performance gives way to patterns, and that's your clearest data point.So where does that leave us? With practical choices. We're choosing actions that don't need interpretation, a steady pace over fireworks, patterns over promises, and emotional responsibility over convenience. We talk about age and accountability, why access without direction is a dealbreaker, and how to ask for structure without apologizing. Most of all, we reframe “pressure” as a request for alignment: if the reality is close connection, let the definition reflect it. Silence protects the pattern; clarity protects you.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a confidence boost, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.

PREVIEW — Charles Burton — The US Silence Regarding China's Threats Against Japan. Burton and John Batchelor discuss the strategic "mystery" of the United States failing to explicitly defend Japan against China's recent escalated threats directed toward Japan's new Prime Minister. Burton argues that China systematically deploys disinformation campaigns to misrepresent democratic Japan's legitimate defensive modernization as aggressive militarism, thereby expanding Beijing's regional influence through propaganda and narrative manipulation. Burton warns that this absence of explicit American allied support for Japan against Chinese coercion is "repugnant," undermining the credibility of the U.S.-Japan security alliance and emboldening Beijing to escalate pressure against regional partners through nuclear threats and strategic intimidation. 1937 SHANGHAI

Today’s Bible Verse“After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. ‘The Lord has done this for me,’ she said. ‘In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.’” — Luke 1:24–25 (NIV) Advent is a season of waiting, and Elizabeth’s story embodies the kind of waiting that feels long, heavy, and sometimes painful. After years of unfulfilled longing, God quietly begins a miracle in her life. These verses capture both the tenderness of her private joy and the relief of knowing God sees what others do not.

This week's scripture: Luke 1v5-25What if, every so often, Jesus invites us to carry a dream, a vision, or even an ache with us into what he calls "the secret place" in Matthew 6- trusting that quiet conversation with him, over time, will lead us toward whatever next step we're meant to take?

Join host, Monica Kirsch, and Director of K-4 Ministries, Kylie Martin, as they reflect on what the announcement of the coming of Christ must have felt like after 400 years of perceived silence. Passages referenced in this episode: Luke 2Matthew 2

Waiting can feel never-ending—whether you're longing for healing, a new job, a child, or the fulfillment of a dream. Pastor Shawn Williams reflects on the biblical story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who carried unanswered prayers for decades. Just when hope seemed lost, God responded at the perfect time—showing that His silence doesn't mean He's absent, but that He's preparing something greater. If you're in a season of waiting, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that God hears every prayer.

12-07-25 | When God Breaks the Silence: The Composer by Plainfield Christian Church

The Light Has Come | When God Breaks the Silence with Pastor Josef Massanari December 7, 2025 Visit us online https://www.cornerstonelv.com https://www.facebook.com/lvcornerstone  https://www.instagram.com/cornerstone_lv/

After his encounter with the angel Gabriel, Zechariah is compelled into a period of silence, during which he grapples with faith, doubt, and hope. Similarly, we can be confident that when his wife, Elisabeth, learns she is pregnant, she also considers what will happen to their growing family. Their story is not unique; many families, especially mothers, cling to a quiet hope that God will make a way out of no way. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Carter will be joined in the center by Brenda Vieyra, Program Director at Breastfeed LA, and our own Jennifer Duran-West, to explore how the mission and work of Breastfeed LA support women in situations very similar to Elisabeth's and Zechariah's. www.TheLoftLA.org

In this powerful and unexpected episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by a last-minute, but absolutely show-stopping, guest: Harrison Floyd, one of President Trump's former RICO co-defendants in the Fulton County case. With Patrick Byrne unable to make the show, Harrison steps in and delivers his first full podcast interview since the charges against him were dropped. Harrison walks through the real story behind his involvement in Georgia, the FBI's actions at his home, and the political machinery driving the case. He details his conversations surrounding Ruby Freeman, the chaotic and contradictory behavior of state and federal actors, and how coordinated lawfare became the true weapon of 2020 and beyond. This candid conversation exposes the emotional, legal, and financial toll on defendants while highlighting the deep, unresolved issues within election systems nationwide. Harrison also announces his renewed mission: supporting others targeted by weaponized government through the Statesman Project. An unfiltered, gripping, and deeply human interview you won't hear anywhere else.

Notice that even with eyes open,you can still sense the presence of the darkness behind closed eyes.Even with these words present,those thoughts present, you can always sense this Silence.When that body is anxious,you can still sense this Rest, this Joy in the background.His Light is Everywhere.It's at your office. It's in the kitchen. It's in the car, in traffic, too. It's at the store,at the hospital,in that waiting room.Just sit (t)here.Stand (t)here for a moment.Eyes closed,and feel, 'God is here, still.''God is greater, still.'

True strength doesn't need noise or attention to be seen. Lions don't roar all day—they stay quiet, they watch, and they only move when it matters.  In this episode, I explain why real power moves like a lion. I show you how to carry yourself with that same calm force, where people can feel your presence without a word. This is how you show power through action, not volume. Show Notes: [03:03]#1 Silence conserves energy. [08:12]#2 Power is assumed, not announced. [16:19]#3 The roar is rare, that is exactly why the roar is valuable.

Sister, friend, we've got to celebrate all that you're accomplishing in eating disorder recovery. And one of those accomplishments? Maybe you're listening to today's show and starting to recognize this is a problem in your life. Celebrate that win. Your life has been measured around LESS. Less food, less weight, less energy. You're more successful by being less, running on less, weighing less, consuming less. But today, we're celebrating victories that have nothing to do with the scale. Host Lindsey Nichol shares 11 recovery wins to celebrate that measure MORE goodness in your life - not lack, not weighing less, not being less. Because girlfriend, you're gaining so much more than the weight you're terrified to gain. This process of recovery, of letting yourself BE (not letting yourself go, but surrendering to who you truly are inside) - that's what we're celebrating today. Stop measuring your worth by a number. Start celebrating these wins. The 11 Recovery Wins to Celebrate: Win #1: When You Eat MORE Celebrate: That snack. Adding nuts to your oatmeal. Adding something versus restricting. Truth: When you eat more, you think bigger. Your mind uses fuel to function. Action: Add one extra thing today - more protein, more than coffee for breakfast, something. Win #2: When You Challenge THAT Thought The thought: "You shouldn't have had that. Now you have to wait until dinner. You need to run an extra hour." Celebrate: When you sit that thought down and tell it to shut up. Truth: "Not today. I'm not running 45 minutes because I had carbs. I'm taking a walk and nourishing my body." Win #3: When You Face a Fear Food Not: Going from nothing to 50 donuts (that's not what we're doing). Celebrate: Integrating something that's been a struggle. Breaking a rigid rule. Examples: Having cashews at dinner when you only "allowed" almonds at breakfast. Two tablespoons of peanut butter instead of one. Action: Try something outside your normal rigid routine. Eat at a different time. Try a new snack. Get conscious with your eating. Win #4: When You Get Intuitive and Reflect Celebrate: Journaling. Getting present with your feelings. Truth: "Today sucks. I don't want to gain weight. I'm feeling heavy. I'm not sure I'm all in. I'm going to let these feelings in, sit with them, and move on." Remember: We cannot heal what we cannot feel. Win #5: When You Exercise for Enjoyment (Or Don't Exercise at All) Celebrate: Moving your body for FUN, not punishment. Examples: Taking a walk just to reflect. Going to yoga to try something new. Skipping exercise to REST. Truth: No one said you weren't allowed. Grant yourself permission. Win #6: When You Want STRENGTH Over Skinny The shift: Wanting to feel STRONGER versus wanting to be skinnier. Celebrate: When you're putting yourself first, nourishing your body, starting to believe in the process. Truth: You're going to feel liberated, clearer minded, STRONGER. That's winning. Win #7: When You Go Out to Dinner Without Anxiety Not overnight: You don't go from making excuses to avoid restaurants to enjoying dinner stress-free immediately. Celebrate: When you can be PRESENT in the moment. When you hear the nasty thoughts and say "Not for these 45 minutes." Win: Saying yes to events instead of isolating. Win #8: When You Get OFF the Scale The game changer: No longer allowing the scale to define your worthiness. Truth: Not looking at the number to define what you can eat today or what you have to restrict tomorrow. Celebrate: If you're not weighing yourself every second and you're starting to lay that down - that's MASSIVE. Win #9: When You Notice More Energy and Better Sleep Celebrate: Having more brain function. Getting clearer, more sound sleep. Truth: Your body's not running on SILENCE anymore. Things underneath are working properly because you're nourishing yourself. Notice: Different energy spikes after eating. Give yourself props for this. Win #10: When You Let Go of Shame and Guilt After Meals Celebrate: "I gave myself permission to eat something I normally don't eat. I'm on this pathway to recovery. I know I'm fearful, but I'm creating a healthier place for me." Action: Set down the shame. Ask yourself: "What do I need to do right now to not let this consume me?" Win: That's MASSIVE. Celebrate that victory. Win #11: When You Get SUPPORT and Commit The biggest win: Acknowledging you need help and support. Truth: You weren't meant to do this alone. You just weren't. Question: Wouldn't you want help from somebody who's been there? Wouldn't you want to fast-track the process instead of struggling longer? Key Takeaways: ✨ Your life has been measured by LESS - recovery is measured by MORE ✨ Eating disorders become a game - the more successful at restriction, the more achievement we feel ✨ We need to measure with a NEW measuring stick - small victories ✨ When you eat more, you think bigger - your mind needs fuel ✨ Challenge the thought - sit it down and tell it to shut up ✨ We cannot heal what we cannot feel - sit in the discomfort ✨ Want STRENGTH over SKINNY - that's the breaking point toward triumph ✨ Getting off the scale is where the game changes ✨ Recovery takes time - celebrate the small wins in the messy middle ✨ Every single thing against negative behaviors needs to be PRAISED Powerful Quotes: "Your life is measured around success of LACK. Your life is measured off of having less" "Eating disorders become a game - the more successful we are at restriction and manipulation, the more personal achievement we have" "We are not measuring lack. We are measuring the small wins creating more goodness in our life" "You are gaining so much more than weight that you're terrified to gain" "When you eat more, you think bigger" "We cannot heal what we cannot feel" "Celebrate wanting to feel STRONGER versus wanting to be skinnier" "Recovery takes time. Sometimes you live in this messy middle place where it feels hard, it feels mundane" "Your success is a series of small victories and small wins" "The first and greatest victory is to conquer you" - Plato "Today is your opportunity to create the tomorrow that you want" Why Celebrating Small Wins Matters: The Perfectionist Trap: Living in black and white thinking makes it hard to find wins because we measure against an unrealistic stick. But counting each win grants compassion and grace to create momentum. The Messy Middle: Recovery isn't linear. You slip backwards, move forwards, slip backwards again. You throw your hands up and wonder "Was I really that miserable before?" THIS is where measuring small victories matters most. The Scale Obsession: When you've been chained, obsessed, and addicted to taking personal worth inventory over the scale, it's hard to measure differently. But we MUST celebrate victories that have nothing to do with that number. The Truth: Every single thing you do against negative behaviors keeping you stuck is something that needs to be PRAISED. This creates the momentum you need to keep going. If You're Not There Yet: Listen: If you're thinking "I want to celebrate recovery wins but I'm not in recovery yet" - STOP. Celebrate THIS: You're listening to this podcast. You're not here by accident. You're not searching for the new craze diet. You're here because you know something is going on. You're tired of this struggle. Praise that. Hold that close to your heart. You were brought here for a reason. The reason? It has more to do than just experiencing freedom from food controlling your life. When you start finding your purpose because you have more brain capacity, because you're nourishing yourself, because you're finally LIVING - that's where life lives. That's where you're supposed to be. Ready to Stop Doing This Alone? You weren't meant to do recovery by yourself. Wouldn't you want help and support from somebody who's been there? Wouldn't you want to fast-track the process instead of struggling longer? Recovery Collective Group support program with accountability outside of yourself.

Two days ago, Trump unleashed the ugliest, most bigoted stuff about brown and black immigrants. About Somalian-Americans. And his entire cabinet just sat there and nodded. Yesterday, he unleashed even uglier stuff about Somalian-Americans. And the Congress people and business executives just stood there and nodded. Silence is complicity. The entire Republican Party owns his racism, bigotry, and cruelty. So every election for the foreseeable future must be about him. Period. Hosted on Acast.

There are no shortage of scandals plaguing Washington D.C. right now. One that has captivated much of the political and media professions involves Olivia Nuzzi, a political writer formerly of the magazine New York, and now an editor with Vanity Fair, who was involved in a relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during the 2024 campaign. Nuzzi's relationship has provided incredible fodder for the press, not least because her ex-fiance, Ryan Lizza, has penned a multi-part series on the matter where he has unspooled numerous accusations against her and RFK Jr., in anticipation of the publication of Nuzzi's book, American Canto, which was released Tuesday. Those accusations are quite serious, many of which Nuzzi addresses in her book, including an admission that she secretly aided RFK Jr.'s campaign. The more important ones, however, deal with RFK Jr. himself, including the charge that he has hid drug use and was both manipulative of and threatening to Nuzzi during their relationship. Nuzzi has not discussed any of it on camera. Until now. In a sit down interview with Tim Miller, she talked about the ethical breaches that cost her her job, the conflict between her responsibilities as a reporter, the private relationship that blurred those boundaries, and the fear and isolation she experienced as the scandal unfolded. She describes withdrawing from the world, fleeing across the country, and trying to rebuild her sense of self while contending with public shaming and, what she saw as, the “weaponization” of her personal life against her. She also offers some insights and revelations regarding the now Health and Human Service secretary, who has denied the relationship. She and Tim discuss her relationship with RFK Jr. and the wreckage that followed, whether he continues to use drugs while occupying a cabinet post, what type of threats she felt, and why she didn't feel compelled to speak up as it became clear that Kennedy was ascending to remarkable heights of political power. They also discuss the broader political moment that shaped all of it: the Trump era's constant tug between reality and spectacle, the corrosion of public trust, and the ways journalists become characters in the dramas they cover. And they broach one of the more understated questions throughout this entire, sordid ordeal: why even bother writing this book to begin with? Nuzzi explains that writing was an act of survival and the clarity that came from separating herself from Washington, D.C.'s rituals and delusions. Along the way, she says, she became further entrenched in the delusions she was hoping to escape. show notes Buy American Canto by Olivia Nuzzi

In this raw episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, Chris Osman opens up like never before—sharing childhood struggles, the brutal realities of BUD/S (including two moments he nearly rang the bell), combat in Somalia, and the darker personal battles that followed his 11 years of service, including addiction, failed marriages, and the long road back to redemption.
