I thought I'd share it on the podcast! The post 422. Traditional Chinese Martial Arts in Educational Empowerment and Societal Development first appeared on Sifu Mimi Chan.

Supporting Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse - Carl Rogers'Seven Stages of Process In Episode 340 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at the question: Can clients ask you to delete their data? - covering legal, ethical, and practical considerations. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Jeremy Sachs about supporting male survivors of sexual abuse, with a focus on the intersectional challenges they face and practical considerations for therapists. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken explain and simplify Carl Rogers' Seven Stages of Process, highlighting how this core theory maps client growth in therapy. Can Clients Ask You to Delete Their Data?  [starts at 03:26 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken address a challenging but important question: Can clients ask you to delete their data? Key points discussed include: Under UK GDPR (Article 17), clients have the "right to erasure" (right to be forgotten), but it's not absolute. You may decline deletion if: The data is required for legal obligations, such as tax or insurance records. You need the data to defend against complaints or for safeguarding purposes. Deleting data prematurely could leave you without a defence if a client complains later or if you are required to provide records to legal authorities or coroners. Good practice includes: Explaining data retention policies in your contract. Consulting the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) for UK-based practitioners. Documenting decisions with written evidence from insurers or data protection authorities. Consider using a split-note system to separate identifying details from case notes. How long should client data be kept after therapy ends? (Commonly six years for adults, up to age 25 for children). Supporting Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse [starts at 23:53 mins] In ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Jeremy Sachs, therapist and author of the upcoming book Masculinity Reconnected, about male sexual abuse and its often-overlooked challenges. Key points discussed include: Societal silence: Male survivors often go unheard due to cultural narratives about masculinity, strength, and emotional repression. The role of masculinity: Traditional masculinity can prevent men from seeking help. Men may internalise shame and avoid vulnerability. "Toxic masculinity" can further oppress male survivors. Intersectionality: Men experience sexual abuse differently based on race, gender identity, class, or sexuality. Therapists must recognise these layers when supporting clients. Supporting survivors: Create safe, validating spaces for male clients to share their stories. Explore how societal expectations and cultural messaging impact their healing. Encourage community and connection to reduce isolation. Carl Rogers' Seven Stages of Process [starts at 45:40 mins] In ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken simplify Carl Rogers' Seven Stages of Process, a key person-centred theory describing how clients grow through therapy. Key points include: The seven stages map a client's journey from rigidity to fluidity - from defensiveness to openness and self-trust. Stages explained: Rigidity & Defensiveness – Blaming others, avoiding self-awareness. External Recognition – Acknowledging problems exist but externalising them. Tentative Self-Exploration – Starting to discuss personal feelings. Here-and-Now Feelings – Becoming present-focused, seeking involvement in therapy. Ownership & Change – Taking control and committing to change. Experiencing Fully – Accepting emotions in real-time and trusting the inner self. Self-Actualisation – Living authentically and growing beyond therapy. Most therapy takes place between stages 3–5,

If you feel like you've tried everything to stop overeating, your nervous system might be the missing piece.In this episode, Sherry Shaban talks about how living in a fast-paced world—and carrying around unresolved trauma—can throw our nervous system out of balance. This can show up in ways like emotional eating, using substances to cope, or avoiding difficult feelingsSherry explains how our childhood experiences and the pressure to keep up with life can affect how we deal with stress. She shares how learning to understand our emotions and calming the nervous system can help us feel more in control.Later in the episode, Sherry shares her thoughts on weight-loss injectables and why quick fixes don't lead to lasting results. Instead, she encourages making natural, long-term lifestyle changes.Topics Covered:Regulating the Nervous System for Emotional and Behavioral BalanceUnderstanding and Embracing Emotions Through Body AwarenessThe Risks and Side Effects of Weight Loss InjectablesHolistic Approaches to Health and Wellness Beyond DietingBreathwork and Self-Care for Emotional RegulationKey Takeaways:The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in managing involuntary bodily functions, which include critical elements of mental and emotional health.Societal norms often condition us and our children to operate in a heightened state of "protection mode," exacerbating stress-related health issues.Understanding and accepting emotions like fear, sadness, anger, and joy can lead to healthier coping mechanisms and reduced reliance on substance use.While weight-loss injectables may offer rapid results, B emphasizes the importance of natural lifestyle changes for sustainable health improvements.Emotional regulation in teenagers is often challenged by a lack of developed coping skills and prefrontal cortex maturity, but mindful practices can aid in balance.If you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Harvey Michaels is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan Business School lecturer. He teaches a popular course on Energy Management and Artificial Intelligence. He is also the Director of MIT's Clean Heat Transition Project. In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic Ted and Harvey reflect on his career in energy management, for years at the forefront of energy efficiency and energy management as president of Xenergy and Nexus Energy. Now his mission at MIT is "to support student career objectives and to design and manage initiatives to create societal, economic, and carbon benefits."Utility rates are discussed, and Harvey makes clear the need for rate reform. Why do utilities continue to offer flat electricity rates that send no signals to consumers? As other industries have done, such as airlines, Why not set dynamic rates that give consumers accurate price signals? Utility grids are inefficiently managed. There are times when power is very cheap. Flat rates -- like the average 33 cents per kWh in Massachusetts -- retard the adoption of beneficial electrification. What is needed, he makes clear, are rates that reflect marginal costs of power delivery... so that heat pumps and electric vehicles and other forms of beneficial electrification can be cost-effectively purchased and universally adopted drawing power at low cost periods and boosting utilities' load profiles.Harvey and Ted discuss the nexus between customer action and utility policy. On one hand, AI and its machine learning is allowing consumers to near-automatically make smart energy management decisions and to lower their costs and environmental impacts. AI can take complex energy management and pricing signals to optimize on usage. Meanwhile, Harvey makes clear the need for policy reforms to combat climate change.Yes, Harvey explains, that the utility sector is in a period of retrenchment. Politics is the challenge of the day. But from challenging times spring forth innovation. AI provides powerful decision-making capabilities, means of optimizing energy use to meet today's challenges. New forms of grid services such as virtual power plants and other controllable loads, provide means to meet consumer and utility objectives. While optimistic, Harvey is concerned about the urgency of the climate crisis. He is impatient for society to truly "connect the dots" and responsibly address energy management and carbon mitigation needs head on, to use the tools at hand and to meet our broad and critical societal objectives.

What kind of influence should Christians have in society, both among fellow believers and the secular unbelieving world? Are we called to take authority over the seven mountains or spheres of influence identified in our society by those such as Lance Wallnau and Johnny Enlow?

Join Dave Jenkins and me as we look at church history and the conduct demonstrated by leaders and lay people, while considering the actions and doctrine promoted within the seven mountain mandate, which ultimately contradicts the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Societal and cultural norms say mothers must be kind and nurturing, they must have endless patience for their children, they must be doting, attentive and protective, and they should be able to do it all — and be thrilled to do it all. But what does it mean to be a “good” mother in this day and age? We explore the complex and nuanced nature of motherhood in honor of Mother's Day.

A social choice represents the collective decision of the individuals based on their preferences over the alternatives. There are societal services operated by governmental or non-governmental organizations which implement a social choice model. For example, the allocation of shelters to homeless individuals considers both the preferences of homeless individuals and the shelters. However, the preferences of such vulnerable populations may not be as structured as required in the system for them to receive an effective service. Peash’s research focus is on building a unified preference system to reflect the unconventionality in the natural preferences of the vulnerable attempting to access such services. The novel fairness criteria are defined as an end goal of such allocation of services to improve the service for more individuals and broader communities. Peash designs algorithmic solutions to satisfy such fairness requirements on unified preference models. The research outcome has the potential to improve the operational efficiency of ongoing societal services by providing services to more individuals as required.

Larry Burkett often said that capitalism must be tempered by Christian love, compassion, and stewardship.Proponents of capitalism and free markets don't often express that concern, just as believers in social welfare rarely count the cost. Jim Jones joins us today to talk about a new way of looking at those ideas.Jim Jones is a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) and Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®). He is also the author of Utopia Reimagined: An Allegory of Capital and Conscience.A Unique Approach to Biblical EconomicsUnlike typical finance books, Utopia Reimagined is a novel—a work of fiction designed to explore serious biblical and economic themes through story.Why fiction? Jesus often used storytelling to challenge people's assumptions and invite deeper reflection. From the Good Samaritan to the Prodigal Son, stories have the power to stick with us in ways data and arguments often can't. As G.K. Chesterton once quipped, “Novels are more true than science textbooks. Life is sometimes like a science textbook, but life is always a story.”The Journey of Alexander and PaulineThe novel follows two siblings—Alexander and Pauline—on a journey through contrasting societies, each representing different economic and political ideologies.Alexander, a gifted but oppressed peasant in 18th-century France, escapes a feudal system to explore new societal models. His journey takes him through a magical cave into Santosa—a society with socialist tendencies—and eventually to New York City, the heart of free-market capitalism. Along the way, Alexander wrestles with the tension between opportunity, freedom, and justice.Pauline's journey is more focused on the moral and cultural fabric of each society. Her lens offers readers a parallel exploration of what's right, just, and good—not only economically, but relationally and spiritually.Through these characters, readers are invited to explore how faith shapes our perspectives on power, wealth, justice, and human dignity. Some characters see everything through the lens of faith, while others struggle to integrate it or reject it altogether.The beauty of storytelling is that it doesn't just show you what people believe, but why they believe it. That builds compassion and opens the door to real understanding.What Does a Biblical Utopia Look Like?In the final chapters of the novel, Alexander and Pauline discover a society that reflects the fullness of God's Kingdom—a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth. It's a world where work, community, economics, and leadership are all governed by Christ's nature: sacrificial love, justice, and peace.But how do we pursue this kind of utopia now?Real change begins not at a national or global level, but in our local Christian communities. Reflecting God's image means practicing agape love—self-sacrificing care for one another—in how we use our time, money, influence, and power. We do that in community, not alone.Bringing the Vision to LifeMore than just a novel, Utopia Reimagined is a tool for discipleship and transformation. It's a call to rethink how we live, give, work, and govern in light of God's design. Through this engaging allegory, Jim Jones invites believers to dream again—anchored in Scripture and empowered by the Spirit—to reflect the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. That's why he has developed a discussion guide for churches, small groups, and communities who want to go deeper. It's available at utopiareimagined.com, where readers can also purchase the book or join a virtual conversation with Jim himself.And for a limited time, the Kindle edition is available for just $1.99.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a landlord with a duplex and want to sell it in a year.

On the Resilient Birth podcast, Justine and Sarah explore the impact of trauma across the perinatal period, from trying-to-conceive to pregnancy, from childbirth to postpartum and parenting. Through an inspirational quote that drives our weekly conversations about trauma and healing, Justine and Sarah explore topics such as birth trauma, parenting as a survivor, and finding healing with vulnerability and compassion that support birthing people and birth professionals. Each week, listeners leave with takeaways to utilize in their lives and/or clients. Justine and Sarah hold the stories they share with honor and respect with the hope to impart knowledge, increase understanding, and bear witness to this challenging topic. Sarah is a licensed mental health counselor, educator, and mom of three. She walks with a story of trauma from before and as a result of her perinatal experience. Justine supports survivors of trauma through perinatal coaching and childbirth education. As well as being a mother of three, she holds a Ph.D. on representations of consent and sexual violence and is currently working towards a Masters in Counselling. Learn more about Sarah and Justine's trainings: https://www.resilientbirth.com/workshops Keywords: intimacy, motherhood, postpartum relationships, postpartum sex, perimenopause, postpartum body image, emotional connection, parenting, In this episode of the Resilient Birth Podcast, hosts Sarah Adelmann and Justine Leach explore the complexities of intimacy after becoming parents. They discuss the societal expectations surrounding postpartum sex at six weeks, physical touch on relationships, and the challenges of reclaiming one's body and identity after having a baby. The conversation also delves into the fears and trust issues that can arise in intimate relationships, particularly after childbirth, and the myths surrounding postpartum recovery. Thay also discuss the changes that come with aging and perimenopause, emphasizing the importance of creating space for emotional connection with self and other, as well as, understanding the evolving nature of desire. Takeaways Intimacy changes after becoming a parent. Societal expectations can create pressure for postpartum intimacy too quickly. Physical touch from children can make adult intimacy challenging. Reclaiming one's body is a journey that takes time. Non-sexual touch is crucial for emotional connection. Motherhood often places a burden on intimacy. Changing bodies can affect sex and confidence. Perimenopause is a significant life transition that is often overlooked. Desire for intimacy can fluctuate throughout life. Sound Bites "I didn't feel like my body was mine for so long." "Those moments of not being touched feel precious." "Intimacy is a dance that changes with time." "Our bodies change, and so do our identities." "Perimenopause is as intense as puberty."

In this quick episode, I talk about the concept of gray area drinking—where you might not see yourself as a "problem drinker," but you still feel like your relationship with alcohol isn't fully aligned. I share why community support is so important on the sobriety journey and why we need to normalize choosing a life without alcohol. I encourage you to honor your intuition and explore what could open up for you if you removed alcohol from your life. I also dive into how society shapes our perceptions of drinking, the emotional challenges that can come with sobriety, and the beautiful journey of self-discovery and growth that's possible when you choose a different path. On a side note, I talk about emotions and drinking. Emotions can be happy emotions, too. We not only drink due to stress, but have been conditioned to drink because it's nice out, it's Friday, at a wedding, at a sporting event, and so on.

‘Tall girls just aren't that pretty.'That's how we're made to feel or even what we're told growing up by our crush, our peers, even family and friends, and strangers. And it's not a one-and-done thing. In fact, it's recurring. We hear and feel this often enough for us to wonder: Does everyone have the same viewpoint of tall women?That we're these ‘big', awkward skyscrapers? Why? Why is this the case? I got 3 words for ya: Societal beauty standards. This is explained in a piece written in the Minnesota Daily by Sidney Clarke, who says, “height has been inextricably associated with a lack of conventional beauty.” Why is this the case? And how can we overcome this?Well, that's what today's episode is all about!

In this episode, Claire Hoffman explores the idea behind how our flaws, doubt, cynicism, and even ambition aren’t signs of failure, but can be used as fuel. She tells the story of Aimee Semple McPherson, a woman who built a religious empire and faked her own kidnapping. But this episode isn’t about scandal. It’s about the tension that we all carry between our light and dark sides. Claire says sometimes the bad wolf does good work. This conversation is about embracing contradiction and finding grace in the mess. Key Takeaways: Claire’s book: “Sister Sinner: The Miraculous Life and Mysterious Disappearance of Aimee Semple McPherson. Aimee Semple McPherson’s duality of character, embodying both “good” and “bad” traits. The impact of McPherson on American religion and her role in establishing one of the first megachurches. The complexities of fame and its effects on personal identity and mental health. The concept of “audience capture” and its implications for public figures. Societal pressures and judgments faced by women, particularly in the context of McPherson’s life. The significance of grace, forgiveness, and personal transformation in the human experience. Reflections on authenticity, compassion, and the challenges of extending grace in a judgmental world.

This episode explores success as a subjective, evolving concept influenced by life stages (20s, 30s, 40s), emphasizing internal fulfillment through relationships, self-awareness, and alignment with personal purpose over external validation like wealth or career status. In this episode you'll hear: Success is framed as a subjective, evolving concept that shifts across life stages (20s, 30s, 40s, etc.), emphasizing relationships, self-awareness, and internal fulfillment over external validation. Personal definitions of success include emotional connections (e.g., family, friends), self-alignment with "intelligence" (inner purpose), and daily effort toward doing one's best. Societal pressures and external markers (career status, wealth) are contrasted with internal metrics of success, such as self-worth and freedom from societal expectations. Cortney McDermott, a returning guest and a beloved voice on the show, is an international speaker and TED Talk presenter, Cortney is also a bestselling author.

Hey Tribe! On this episode of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast, we're diving headfirst into one of life's biggest decisions—to have kids or not? The Tribe breaks down the raw realities of parenthood, the freedom of a child-free life, and the societal pressures that come with both choices. From birth control mishaps to the deep-seated judgment toward people without kids, we're keeping it all the way real. We explore whether having children is truly fulfilling or just an expectation, how career and mental health are impacted by parenting, and the importance of a solid support system when raising kids. And of course, we have to ask—are kids really the ultimate motivation in life, or is that just what society wants us to believe? Things get even spicier as we debate whether society unfairly judges parents based on their kids' behavior, discuss high-profile cases like the Menendez brothers, and tackle the age-old question: Does having children affect your dating life? Plus, the team shares personal deal-breakers when it comes to picking a co-parent and what financial stability should look like before bringing a little one into the world. Whether you're a proud parent, thinking about kids, or happily child-free, this episode is packed with unfiltered opinions, hilarious takes, and deep reflections on one of the most personal decisions you'll ever make.

After attending the “Hands Off!” protest in Charlotte, we came home with a renewed sense of purpose: that being our truest selves—two women in love, choosing joy, choosing kindness—is an act of revolution. In this episode, Liz opens up about softening into her feminine energy, what that's meant for her growth, and shares an excerpt from her upcoming book exploring the necessity of balance, not dominance, in reshaping our society. Plus, we recount how our well-intentioned Costco adventure turned into an overstimulating nightmare. It was worth it to vote with our dollars!

Some key takeaways from this episode include: We vote with our dollars every time we spend money. Supporting businesses that align with your values is a powerful form of everyday resistance. Authenticity is activism: living truthfully—especially in a world that demands conformity—is one of the most radical things we can do. Balance starts from within, always. Societal change begins on the individual level.

Ever had a gut feeling that something wasn't right, but you didn't want to say anything because you didn't want to rock the boat? That happened to me recently on a night out with friends and it reminded me how often we suppress our instincts to keep others comfortable. On today's Wise Walk we're listening to those inner nudges we so often push aside. We'll talk about what it means to listen to your instincts, how societal norms can condition us to silence them and how honouring that voice inside can lead to more aligned, authentic choices. Let's slow down and explore what it looks like to trust ourselves more – one step at a time. Have you found yourself in a pattern of suppressing your instincts for the sake of others? Are you aware when your instincts surface and how you typically respond to them? Do you fear your instincts because they might make someone else uncomfortable? When a feeling emerges, do you justify it or layer it with logic to avoid acting on it? Is suppressing your instincts serving you, or is it something you want to change? How can you bring more awareness to your instincts and choose which ones to honor? Which instincts feel aligned for you, and which ones feel safer to compartmentalize? Do you know the difference between what feels aligned and what just keeps the peace? Have you been in situations where your fight-or-flight response kicked in? Have you felt unheard or out of alignment, yet stayed quiet to avoid discomfort? Are you filtering your voice or emotions for the benefit of others? Is that practice truly aligned with you, or is it something you'd like to change? When can your instincts serve you—and maybe even benefit others by revealing deeper truths? Where in your life can you honor and thank your natural instincts for showing up? Are you clear on what your true instincts are, or have they been clouded by conditioning? Could you be mistaking thirst for hunger or ignoring cues your body is trying to give you? Where can you return to center, drop into your body, and really give it what it needs? How can you eliminate the noise and distractions to reconnect with your true instincts? As you move through your week, take a moment to reflect—and thank your instincts for showing up, protecting you, and guiding you toward what truly feels aligned.   I'd love to hear what resonated with you from today's episode, so don't hesitate to share. And be sure to join me next Thursday for another Wise Walk Conversation. Until then, prioritize fun, honor those inner nudges, and get your stride on.   In this episode: [02:45] An example of how I spoke up and didn't suppress my instincts in a kind way.  [05:34] How one of my friends was embarrassed by me speaking up and having our needs met. [06:35] We often suppress the instinctual reactions that are good for us. [07:19] Another example from a friend of mine. Why can't we express our feelings? It doesn't have to be a hostile exchange. [10:38] I discuss our natural instincts like eating, drinking, and sleeping. [11:18] Humans have often been conditioned to suppress their instincts. [12:38] Societal creations or norms are what challenge instincts just like the sweetness of donuts as opposed to ripe fruit. [14:13] Interpreting cues from your own body and listening to your instincts. Be mindful of learned behaviors. [15:01] How children aren't inhibited. [16:15] How we may numb ourselves when we're disappointed for not speaking up. [18:08] It's okay not to speak up if you don't feel comfortable. It's important to be present and aware and notice what instincts are surfacing within you.   Memorable Quotes:   “Our instincts are still pure. What challenges that instinct is our societal creations or pressures or norms.” - Mary Tess “It's okay to not speak up if you don't feel comfortable yet. But the most important thing is to be present and aware and notice what instincts are surfacing in you.” - Mary Tess “As children, our instincts are pure and raw and real. Children have that beautiful quality of being just honest and direct.” - Mary Tess   Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value

People are saying these societal rules should go—here are our thoughts.

In this deeply reflective episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck Thuss sits down with poet, playwright, and soon-to-be author D.C. Copeland. Known for her literary achievements and her fierce voice for mental health and self-expression, D.C. shares a candid and powerful conversation about what it means to truly find yourself—especially in a world that expects conformity at every turn. From her early days writing poems as a child to becoming a Yale-educated writer mentored by Harold Bloom, D.C. takes us on a journey through creativity, personal awakening, and deep healing. Her upcoming book Societal Dropout is more than a manifesto—it's a call for reconnection, a return to stillness, and a nudge for all of us to examine what we truly believe, beyond what we've been told. D.C. and Chuck explore the concept of living in the “third dimension”—a linear, goal-oriented society—and how dropping out of it, even for a few moments each day, can unlock healing, peace, and perspective. Whether you're familiar with meditation or just starting to question the noise around you, this conversation offers tools, insights, and encouragement to pause and listen to your inner voice. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about healing through writing, the connection between mental health and societal structure, and the incredible power of stillness. What's Inside… Why “dropping out” isn't giving up—it's coming home to yourself. D.C. explains how stepping away from society's expectations can lead to deeper healing and clarity. The hidden cost of living in a linear, performance-driven world. Discover how constant striving impacts our mental health and how to break free from the cycle. How stillness and meditation transformed D.C.'s understanding of herself. Learn practical ways to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your truth. What we're really running from—and why society doesn't want us to stop. A powerful exploration of discomfort, distraction, and the fear of facing our own thoughts. The difference between identity and performance. D.C. shares how letting go of labels helped her heal, and why so many of us feel lost in who we think we're supposed to be. You're not broken—you're waking up. Hear D.C.'s perspective on anxiety, trauma, and why your struggles might actually be signals of something beautiful unfolding.   GUEST LINKS: https://dccopeland.com LINKS: www.thecompassionateconnection.com www.warriorsunmasked.com  Join Chuck's Text Community: 251-418-7966 Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Welcome to Episode 184: Introducing D.C.
