Have you ever unraveled over a one word email? Or spiraled because someone "saw" your message but didn't respond? Katherine dives into the invisible signals shaping today's workplace: digital body language. Inspired by Erica Dhawan's work and Katherine's real world leadership experience, this conversation explores how response time, punctuation, brevity, silence, and even channel choice are constantly communicating on your behalf. In a world where 70% of communication is virtual, leaders are sending signals about trust, respect, urgency, and inclusion whether they mean to or not. If leadership is relational, then digital communication cannot be transactional. Katherine unpacks practical shifts people-first leaders can make immediately to reduce anxiety, build clarity, and strengthen connection. Because the impact you make through a screen is still very real and it is shaping your culture every single day.   Additional Resources: Read "Digital Body Language" by Erica Dhawan Connect with Katherine Coble on LinkedIn Learn more about Borshoff Watch Gut + Science (and more) on YouTube!

Brevity without warmth creates digital anxiety. Channel choice signals leadership intention. Clarity in writing is modern workplace empathy. Silence always sends a message.  

If you've ever wondered why your "good kid" seems fine on the outside but distant, perfectionistic, or quietly falling apart — this episode is for you. I sat down with Maggie Nick, licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist, to talk about what she calls "good kid" patterns: the relational shame that forms when kids learn to hide their messy, real selves to stay lovable. We dig into the check engine lights parents miss, why reassurance backfires, and what kids actually need to feel safe enough to show up as they are. Don't miss this one. Maggie Nick is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma therapist, and author of Good Kids: Why You Suffer in Silence and How to Break the Cycle. She helps parents and adults understand the roots of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and shame — and how to break generational cycles.

This week we're diving into a topic you all have been asking us about for a long time: The Witch Trials. What actually happened during this period in history, and how did thousands of people end up accused of witchcraft?In this episode, we talk about the massive witch hunts that took place across Europe between the 1400s and 1700s, the myths many of us learned about the Salem Witch Trials, and the social, political, and religious forces that fueled these accusations. We also break down some of the bizarre “tests” used to identify witches and why so many of the people targeted were women, healers, or outsiders in their communities.To finish off, we talk about why this history still matters and how the idea of a “witch hunt” continues to show up in modern culture today.Resources Mentioned:- Heal the Witch Wound: Reclaim Your Magic and Step Into Your Power by Celeste Larson- How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women by Zoe Venditozzi, Claire Mitchell - Libro FM link- Royal Witches: Witchcraft and the Nobility in Fifteenth-Century England by Gemma Hollman- Lights, Camera, Witchcraft: A Critical History of Witches in American Film and Television by Heather GreeneSupport your local bookstore and this podcast by grabbing your audiobooks through Libro.fm.

So many people with relationship anxiety are focused on the wrong things in their relationship.We can get so caught up in chemistry, certainty, and whether we feel “enough” all the time… that we overlook the traits that actually matter most.And honestly, I think we assume the good traits we're seeing are more common than they really are.Kindness. Safety. Consistency. Good character.We can treat those things like they are just the bare minimum, when in reality, they are not as common as we think.If you are with someone who is kind, good, and safe, that matters more than your anxious mind may want to admit.In this episode, we are talking about why relationship anxiety can cause you to focus on the wrong things and how to start valuing what actually matters in a healthy relationship.✨ Links:Get our Silence the Noise Course:https://joy-dima.mykajabi.com/offers/Te3uYz2J/checkoutJoin our membership Relationship Anxiety Academy:https://joy-dima.mykajabi.com/offers/55SFX2at/checkoutOther resources:https://stan.store/joyrossignol

It was a hard couple of weeks at the Bittle Ranch. Nic and Tarina had to put down Stella, Elle's dog. Stella is remembered as being all kindness and a lot of joy.Today's episode is about the damage done from unspoken kindness—Part 2 of The Power of a Kind Word. The unspoken kind word or constant criticism can do untold harm. Tarina tells a story about a top athlete in high school who was under constant criticism at home and felt she could never do good enough. This young woman couldn't wait to quit sports and does not have fond memories about that time in her life. Nic realizes that in golf you count every stroke—where the objective is to count every “mistake.” He asks, “What if on every missed shot in basketball they deducted 2 points?” Silence is a real issue—we often take it as disapproval. If a leader walks into a room and greets everyone but one person, that individual will wonder inside, “What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong?” The leader's silence echoing in his mind. The leader's job is to bring in the right criticism or correction to develop his/her people. If you're naturally critical, it'd be best to keep it to yourself. If in doubt, use the filter: is it true, is it kind, is it necessary. Most criticism isn't necessary. Consider two things: If your gift is always finding fault, that's not a gift. Also, silence is a deadly trap we can fall into. Be aware that both of these are problems.

Psalm 46: “Be still and know that I am God.”

Last week, you heard Part 1 of William Gray's story. In October of 2022, 39-year-old William Gray disappeared from his home in Sweeny, Texas, leaving behind questions that remain unanswered more than three years later. In Part 1, we explored Will's life, the mounting tension in his marriage, the events leading up to the day he vanished, and the early stages of the investigation.In the months before his disappearance, Will had been injured at work and underwent back surgery in September 2022. According to his sister, Beverly, he told her that once he was cleared to return to work, he planned to retain an attorney and file for divorce. He wanted to make sure he had everything in place before taking that step.At the time, Will continued living on the property he shared with his wife because he didn't want to leave his young son behind. Beverly said he told her he had been sleeping in a camper on an adjoining property and that he was documenting what was happening around him. He said he had installed cameras and was backing up the data in multiple locations.The last known contact with Will was on October 17, 2022. His wife said he was picked up from the property in a truck, though descriptions of that vehicle have varied and, as far as Beverly knows, a driver has never been identified. Will's phone was left behind, cutting off a key digital trail.In the days that followed, Beverly reported him missing to the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office. Beverly said she was surprised to learn that investigators reported finding no digital evidence, despite what Will had told her about the steps he was taking to preserve everything. Early on, the case appeared to gain momentum, but after Beverly had an in-depth conversation with the original detective assigned to it, he suddenly left the department, and the investigation seemed to slow.In Part 2, we will examine what happened in the years following Will's disappearance, the questions that remain, and information Beverly has uncovered as she continues trying to find out what happened to her brother.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of William Gray, please contact the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office at (979) 864-2200. You can follow Beverly's search efforts to find her brother on social media at Find Will Gray.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Despite holding one of the most powerful microphones in the world, the silence from major winners at the Oscars regarding human rights and the rise of fascism was the real star.  When artists like Paul Thomas Anderson, whose film One Battle After Another swept the awards, refuse to use their power to address the very real injustices their films capitalize on, they "obey in advance." This silence is the symptom of massive corporate media consolidation. Director David Borenstein, winner of best documentary for Mr. Nobody Against Putin, used his power morally to remind us that this is how Putin cemented a dictatorship.  With the looming merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and the MAGA Ellison family's Paramount Skydance, we face a future where 40% of our media is controlled by a single far-right family.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Integrity, Impact, and the Fight Against Human Trafficking Guest, Keith Grounsell, a 28-year law enforcement veteran, two-time Chief of Police, former DEA Special Agent, international police advisor, entrepreneur, speaker, and multi-book author This Week's Guest will be Keith Grounsell. Keith is a veteran law enforcement leader with nearly 30 years of experience at the city, county, federal and international levels. A former deep undercover narcotics officer and 2-time Chief of Police. He is the author of more than 12 books. You can find all of Keith's book at his author page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Keith-P.-Grounsell/author/B08J456MMW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1773710088&sr=1-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true On this episode of Breaking the Silence, host, Dr. Gregory Williams interview former DEA special agent and author Keith Groundsel to discuss the harrowing global epidemic of human trafficking and the necessity of principled leadership. The conversation explores the transition from making an income to making an impact, while exposing the ruthless mechanics of cartels and organ harvesting. Groundsel emphasizes that education and unwavering integrity are the primary tools for protecting the next generation and restoring law and order. The Philosophy of Personal Impact Dr. Williams, reflecting on his own battle with Lou Gehrig's disease, posits that the value of a life is measured by its impact on others rather than financial success. He argues that even small, consistent acts of presence and encouragement—such as a security guard's daily greeting—can provide the foundational support necessary for a trauma survivor to reclaim their life. This "steady flow of encouragement" is presented as a vital deterrent to the isolation that often precedes exploitation. Exposing the Human Trafficking Industry The discussion shifts to the "mission-driven" work of Groundsel, particularly his observations in post-earthquake Haiti where over half a million children became vulnerable to traffickers. He reveals the horrifying reality of organ harvesting, where victims are "disposed of like a crop" once they are no longer useful for labor or sexual exploitation. Groundsel notes that human trafficking has evolved into a $170 billion annual industry, often intertwined with narco-terrorism and elite circles that seek to normalize predatory behavior. Leadership Under Fire and Political Integrity Groundsel shares his experiences as a two-time Chief of Police, highlighting the friction between effective law enforcement and political optics. He describes being terminated for "making a town look like it had a trafficking problem" after successful undercover stings that snared prominent citizens. He maintains that 95% of all crimes are linked to drugs and trafficking, and that true leadership requires a foundation of integrity that refuses to turn a blind eye to corruption, regardless of the personal or political cost. Safeguarding the Next Generation To combat these threats, Groundsel has authored several books, including the Character and Confidence series for children and Shattered Chains for adults. He advocates for "proactive parenting," which involves being a constant, visible presence in a child's life and establishing "no-questions-asked" safety protocols for teenagers. He concludes that while technology and cartels have changed the landscape of crime, the fundamental solution remains rooted in accountability, border security, and the courage to stand for the truth. The dialogue serves as a sobering reminder that while evil exists in the form of ruthless cartels and systemic corruption, it can be countered through individual integrity and collective vigilance. By prioritizing impact over income and education over ignorance, communities can begin to "break the silence" and protect the most vulnerable members of society.

Rules of Engagement: A Journey Through 1 CorinthiansWhat does it look like to be the church in a world that doesn't always understand—or welcome—what we're about? That's the question the Apostle Paul tackled head-on in his letter to the church in Corinth, and it's the question we're wrestling with together this series.Paul planted a church in one of the most diverse, culturally complex cities in the ancient world. And almost immediately, things got messy. Division. Pride. Tolerance of things that shouldn't be tolerated. Silence where there should have been honesty. The Corinthian church was full of people who had the Spirit of God and the mind of Christ—and were still acting like the world around them.Sound familiar?Week by week, chapter by chapter, we'll walk through Paul's letter and discover that we are God's temple, keepers of an extraordinary mystery, and called to live like it. Rules of Engagement // Chapter 10A Study in 1 CorinthiansMarch 15, 2026Jeremy Olimb // Lead Pastor

Later tonight Irish actress Jessie Buckley will find out if she has won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Agnes Shakespeare in the adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet.It's a film about family, love, grief, and the aftermath of losing a child. Audrey talks to psychotherapist Julia Samuel about how the film forces you sit with the rawness of grief. Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain whose son Benedict was tragically drowned while on honeymoon tells us what has helped him in the aftermath of such incredible loss.“Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle”- the US government quoting scripture to explain the sacrifice of war in Iran. Theologian Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick tells us what the Book of Revelations says and how it has been interpreted by the Church over the centuries to make claims about the end of the World and the Battle of ArmageddonSilence- it's been used for hundreds of years, in books, plays, poetry...the irony of that is profound. Audrey talks to Oxford Professor Kate Mcloughlin about her new book which traces 12 centuries of literature uncovering the power and possibilities of silence.And this week 300 delegates will be meeting in the Archdiocese of Armagh to ask how do we pass on the faith to the next generation?

Here Be Dragons: Lenten Meditations on the Silence and Darkness of God Bishop Michael Hunn introduces a series of three meditations titled "Here Be Dragons," focusing on Lent, the silence and darkness of God, and wilderness times, and exploring the APHA tradition of theology as a way of speaking about God when there is little to say. The meditations are designed as an audible experience available on both podcast and YouTube, with simple visuals, and listeners are invited to settle in with coffee or tea, perhaps light a candle, and pray along. The speaker offers gratitude to the seminarians and faculty of the Seminary of Sewanee, University of the South, who invited the meditations and first prayed them together on Ash Wednesday 2026, and also to the clergy of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, with the hope that the meditations will be edifying and support a holy Lent. 00:00 Lenten Meditation Series 00:13 Here Be Dragons Theme 00:26 How to Listen and Pray 00:54 Gratitude and Dedication 01:22 Closing Blessing for Lent

Here Be Dragons: Lent Meditation 1 — This Is Not God (The Apophatic Way) Bishop Michael Hunn of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande introduces the first of three Lenten meditations, “Here Be Dragons,” exploring the apophatic way of faith beyond the “map” of confident religious language. He contrasts cataphatic theology, which makes positive statements about God, with apophatic practice, which clarifies what God is not and leads into silence, darkness, and mystery when words fail. Using images of stars, road signs, and medieval maps, he explains that God-language points rather than contains. Lent is presented as an apophatic season of stripping away comforts through fasting, self-denial, and simplification so attention can rest on God alone, with the Book of Job as a key biblical example. He closes with the church's invitation to a holy Lent and shared silence.

Congressman Eric Burlison joins WEAPONIZED to discuss his first classified site visit, the push for UAP disclosure, and what he now believes after seeing sensitive information firsthand. In this wide-ranging conversation with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Rep. Burlison addresses reports about a recent visit to a secure facility, why he's being cautious about what he reveals publicly, and whether he believes the government is withholding critical information about UAP and non-human technology. He also discusses the credibility of key whistleblowers, ongoing congressional efforts to obtain hidden files, and what comes next in the fight for transparency. Burlison speaks candidly about the limits of access, the realities of navigating classified programs, and why he says the search for answers is far from over. GOT A TIP?

This week, the pair dives deep into the worsening quagmire in the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration's "mission accomplished" rhetoric has met the cold reality of an Iranian "kill box." As the economic soil thins and the President takes strategic advice from a Vladimir Putin phone call, Jared and Nick wonder if there's any off-ramp left before the drone footage starts hitting home. These analysts also examine the absurd dominance rituals currently defining the West Wing. This includes Kash Patel's pathetic UFC-inspired FBI training alongside the strange revelation that JD Vance and Marco Rubio are clomping around in oversized $150 Florsheim shoes. The episode wraps with some much-needed cultural escapism. They discuss the perfection of Silence of the Lambs and the disco-country stylings of Johnny Blue Skies. It's a world where the adults have left the building. The guys in charge are more worried about their shoe size than a global supply chain collapse. Buckle in for a bumpy weekend.

The same voices that now brand themselves as guardians of truth spent years burying it. They didn't just miss the story—they smothered it. When it mattered most, they mocked anyone who dared raise questions, dismissed survivors, and labeled investigators as “conspiracy theorists.” They weren't protecting the public; they were protecting power, trimming out inconvenient facts to shield the reputations of their political favorites and social allies. Silence wasn't ignorance—it was strategy.Now those same outlets stand on their platforms with furrowed brows and solemn voices, lecturing about justice as if they hadn't tried to strangle the truth in its cradle. Yesterday's “fringe” is today's breaking news, and the very people who laughed off the facts are suddenly parading them as revelations. It's not a moral awakening; it's a performance. Their outrage isn't about what happened—it's about being forced to confront what they ignored. And that's why their sudden righteousness rings hollow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Under the shadow of the Gaza war, even before the current conflict with Iran, Israeli filmmaker Hilla Medalia found it “very surprising” that her short film “Children No More: Were and Are Gone” was nominated for an Academy Award – but she was thrilled. Despite the atmosphere in Hollywood even before the U.S.-Israel military attack in Iran, with petitions to boycott Israeli filmmakers circulated, two Israelis are nominated to take home golden statues at the March 16 ceremony: Medalia's film, in the category of Best Documentary Short, along with Meyer Levinson-Blount’s “Butcher’s Stain,” which is nominated for Best Live Action Short Film. The nominations are “an incredible achievement of course for both Meyer and I, but also for the entire Israeli film community,” she said, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. Medalia’s film follows a group of Israeli activists who in March 2025, after the second cease-fire between Israel and Hamas collapsed, learned that 139 Palestinian children had been killed in a single day by IDF attacks in Gaza. The small group decided to print out photographs of the children, and stand holding the images silently as an accompaniment to the raucous demonstrations taking place in Tel Aviv calling for a cease-fire that would bring back the Israeli hostages. Over time their action, Medalia explained, “slowly grew into this bigger vigil that had more than 1,000 people. On each poster there is a picture of a child, their name, their age, where they're from, the day that they were killed. That's it. No political slogans. And they stood in silence.” She was inspired and impressed by the group’s commitment to remaining silent – even as passersby insulted and cursed them. Unlike the other films Medalia is competing against, “Children No More” did not make the rounds of the prestigious film festivals to increase its Oscar chances – its path from conception to filming to release was unusually rapid. “We felt that we could not wait to share with the local Israeli audience and the world.” Read more: Oscar-nominated Israeli Filmmaker on Gaza: 'Focusing on Dead Children Does Not Diminish Our Pain' Why Israel Fears the Faces of Dead Palestinian Children on Its Streets It Looks Like a Memorial Day Ceremony: The Israelis Protesting With Photos of Dead Gazan ChildrenStudent Oscar-winning Film 'Mirrors the Experiences of Palestinians in Israel'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are we slowly outsourcing the very skills that once made us human?In this episode, I reflect on a message my mother sent me that sparked a deeper question about attention, patience, memory, and the everyday abilities that quietly shape our lives. As technology grows more convenient, it's worth pausing to ask what might be fading in the background, both for us and for the next generation.This conversation explores awareness, parenting, human skills, and how small habits shape capable, resilient humans.What if the real question isn't what kids are learning today… but what they might be losing without realizing it?—and some of these skills apply to adults too—Related Episodes to Explore:• 174: How to Reset Family Energy When Tension Hits - https://youtu.be/RR0H81qzL8g• 165: Leadership Lessons from a 12-Year-Old: How to Turn Disappointment into Inspired Action - https://youtu.be/Qjtbrqhx-PU

This is PART TWO of our conversation.What if the home you thought would be a new beginning became the start of a nightmare?Before Doug Owen became a paranormal researcher and author, he was simply a husband and father trying to build a life for his family in a new Idaho home. But what unfolded inside that house would change the course of his life forever.Strange apparitions began appearing. Mirrors shattered. Disembodied voices echoed through the house. Over time, the activity seemed to grow darker and more manipulative, targeting not only Doug and his wife but their children as well.In his book The Unholy Silence, Doug recounts the terrifying haunting that shook his family and ultimately set him on a path into paranormal research. He shares the deeply personal story behind those events, how the experiences changed the direction of his life, and why some of the most unsettling moments weren't the supernatural attacks themselves—but the silence he encountered when he asked for help.Get more information about Doug on his website, authordougowen.com.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHouse #TrueHaunting #DougOwen #TheUnholySilence #DemonicHaunting #ParanormalInvestigation #RealGhostStory #HauntedIdaho #SupernaturalEncounters #ParanormalResearchLove real ghost stories?

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores one of the most overlooked forces shaping our lives: the fear of silence. Inspired by watching visitors in Sedona bury their faces in their phones rather than soak in the stunning surroundings, Jim dives into the science behind why we're addicted not to our devices, but to avoiding ourselves — unpacking dopamine loops, variable rewards, and how constant scrolling has become a tool for escaping self-reflection.  Jim reveals that the average person spends just three minutes a day in genuine self-reflection yet two and a half hours on social media. That imbalance isn't just a time problem — it's an identity problem. Every major spiritual tradition, from Buddhism to shamanism, points to silence not as a practice but as a natural state of being. The noise of our devices keeps us living on the outside, cut off from the authentic power within. This episode is a call to stop running and start listening — to yourself. Jim offers one simple, powerful challenge that can begin your transformation today. What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (00:00) The phone addiction hiding in plain sight — Jim opens with a striking scene in Sedona and reveals that our phone obsession isn't about devices — it's about avoiding the silence and depth of our own inner world.  (05:51) Dopamine, doom scrolling, and the slot machine in your pocket — Jim breaks down the brain science of variable rewards and why we're wired to keep scrolling, chasing the next dopamine hit the same way a gambler pulls a lever.  (11:09) Silence triggers the default mode network — Why the brain literally interprets stillness as danger, and how burying ourselves in social media is a way to sidestep self-reflection, anxiety, and unresolved emotions.  (18:24) Social media steals your soulful identity — Constant stimulation keeps us trapped in a 3D external identity, disconnected from the higher, more powerful essence of who we truly are.  (25:30) Every spiritual tradition points to silence — From Buddhism to shamanism, the path to wisdom and transformation has always run through stillness — not apps, algorithms, or content.  (32:00) The 60-second practice that starts it all — Jim's practical challenge: before you scroll, pause for one minute and notice what arises — because what surfaces in that silence is exactly what you've been avoiding.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not addicted to your phone — you are addicted to avoiding yourself. Every scroll is a retreat from your own power and wisdom. The silence you've been running from isn't empty; it's full — full of the answers your analytical mind can never find. The next time you reach for your phone, pause for 60 seconds. The discomfort that rises isn't a signal to scroll. It's an invitation to evolve. Stop digging the hole. Get quiet. The power you've been seeking externally has been inside you all along.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
