Many people know the term “bipolar disorder,” but few understand what mania actually looks like, how depression presents, or why recognizing the warning signs can be so difficult. In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America) Member expert Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD. Dr. Cohen is a psychiatrist, Harvard Medical School professor, and former president and psychiatrist-in-chief of McLean Hospital. Together, they break down the realities of bipolar disorder, including the differences between bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia. Listeners will learn: how some risk-taking behaviors could be warning signs how distinguishing bipolar from personality traits requires careful evaluation how caregivers need support and self-care to be effective They also tackle an important question: When is someone simply energetic, dramatic, or outgoing — and when could those traits point to a mental health condition? Using real-world examples and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Cohen explains how mental health professionals distinguish personality from illness. If you've ever wondered what bipolar disorder really looks like — or how to help someone who may be struggling — this episode is for you. We would like to thank McLean Hospital for providing educational support for this episode. “I've been doing this for 50 years and I've focused on psychotic disorders and bipolar disorders. [. . .] Most of them lead good lives and they're successful.” ~Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD Our guest, Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD, is the Robertson-Steele Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and President/Psychiatrist-in-Chief Emeritus at McLean Hospital. Currently, as Director of the Program for Neuropsychiatric Research at McLean/Mass General Brigham, he leads a consortium using cell culture, genomic, pharmacologic, brain imaging, and clinical studies to increase understanding and develop new treatments for psychiatric disorders. This work is particularly focused on identifying inherent factors that might be modulated to reduce the risk of illness. Convergent evidence from these studies highlights key factors underlying risk for illness, prominently including abnormalities of energy production and brain cell growth and maturation. These abnormalities affect brain development, brain remodeling during adolescence, and brain repair with age. In addition, his work has documented evidence-based dimensional approaches for diagnosing psychiatric disorders that describe each person seeking treatment more accurately and thoroughly than standard diagnostic models. Collaborating investigators work at McLean, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and international sites. Following undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduate (molecular genetic) and medical studies at Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Cohen completed his residency training at McLean. He was co-founder of a Clinical Research Center, founding Director of McLean's Brain Imaging Center, and director of McLean's Residency Training Program, and a Vice President at McLean, before becoming President and Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the hospital. Under his leadership, McLean, which was struggling financially, established over 30 new programs, became financially stable and grew to treat more patients, perform more research, and teach more trainees than at any time in its distinguished history. He has taught locally, at McLean, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as lecturing nationally and worldwide to academic and lay audiences. He has directed continuously funded translational research projects and centers for 48 years.  Dr. Cohen has over 400 publications and 5 awarded patents.  He authored one popular book for lay audiences and has chapters in 19 textbooks. He has consulted to industry and clinical centers. He has been featured in national publications as one of the best doctors in America, been named Psychiatrist of the Year twice by the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Massachusetts, and has won awards for research, teaching, and clinical care. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

If you win "Best Feature" at a film festival, but the festival doesn't give you a trophy, can you make your own trophy? Or is that too cringe? Spouses and filmmakers Kaye and Mariel disagree! Their film THE REBRAND (trailer here) won several film festival awards! But most of the festival organizations did not provide trophies, or any physical representation of the win for that matter. Kaye wants to design and 3-D print her own trophies to commemorate the occasion, and to serve as a reminder that "they like her They really like her!" But, while Mariel is proud of the work they have done and the awards they received, she's also trying to rely less on external validation. Who's right?

God is in the business of showing His creatures unconditional love, and this will never change. It is part of His very being. God can only be good to us, because He is goodness itself. God can only love us, because He is love itself.We learn from the first chapter of Genesis that God created us in His own image. “Let us make man to our image and likeness”, God says to Himself.This not only indicates what God made us to be; it also indicates what we must strive to be. We are made in the likeness of God, but we must also strive to hard to be like God.What I am going to claim in this sermon is that we especially do that through the pursuit of our vocation, whether that be the priesthood, the religious life, or the married life.Unconditional love in a vocationThere is a special quality in a vocation, in that it demands of us unconditional love. We are required to commit ourselves up front to pursue a certain path for the rest of our lives, to stay on that path and never deviate from it.This is what married couples do when they exchange vows before the altar; this is what religious do when they make their perpetual vows; this is what a priest does when he is ordained.These vocations require unconditional love because of the fact that they do not know up front all that their vocation is going to require of them. They make a commitment up front to be faithful to a path but they do not know all that is on that path.Spouses, for instance, tell one another that they are going to stay by one another for life, no matter what happens in the future. If one of them gets cancer, if their house burns down and they lose their life savings, if they have quadruplets, no matter what, they will stick together.Spouses offer this unconditional love to one another when they marry. Priests and religious offer it to God. When a priest is ordained, he dedicates his life for the salvation of souls. He says, “I give myself unconditionally for the salvation of souls, for life, no matter what that may demand of me.We know that, for priests, sometimes the demands are costly. A priest does not know how the years of his priesthood are going to play out when he is ordained, and yet he commits himself.He may be asked to leave his home country and live overseas. He may have a superior who does not understand him. He may have faithful who do not listen to him and make bad decisions for themselves and their children. He may at times feel as if he is a failure. He may suffer an apparent excommunication just a week after he is ordained.It is beautiful to think that God created us human beings in His image and likeness and then also created ways to live our live that help us resemble Him, and that those paths of life require unconditional love of us.He created marriage at the same time that He created the human race. Then, when He became incarnate, He instituted two vocations that are intrinsically supernatural: the priesthood and the religious life.But Our Lord did not only institute the life of the Catholic priesthood and the life of the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. He also lived them. He showed us how to resemble God in these paths of life.

Send us Fan Mail“Why can't you just move on?” sounds simple, but after an affair it can land like a second betrayal. I break down what I wish an unfaithful spouse truly understood about betrayal trauma and why the discovery date is often the start of the pain for the betrayed partner, not the finish line. If you're trying to repair a marriage after infidelity, co-parent through heartbreak, or simply make sense of what happened, these truths give language to what your nervous system has been screaming.We walk through 10 specific realities: how trickle truth creates multiple “D-days,” why many betrayed spouses slip into detective mode to feel safe, and why the lies and gaslighting can hurt more than the affair itself. I also explain the difference between wanting perfection and needing accountability and how defensiveness shuts down healing fast. Along the way, we talk about the brutal spiral of questioning everything your memories, your future, even your own judgment and why rebuilding self-trust is just as important as rebuilding trust in a partner.Then we get practical about triggers and the nervous system: why a song, a restaurant, or a phone notification can set off fight, flight, or freeze, and how triggers can be information instead of proof that you're “failing.” We close with the misunderstanding that keeps so many people stuck: healing, forgiveness, and acceptance are not approval. Healing is for you, and peace is worth fighting for.

Podcasts dominate the charts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, while documentaries about serial killers and violent offenders attract enormous audiences around the world. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio People are fascinated by criminal investigations. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. They want to know how detectives solve impossible cases. They want to understand what motivates serial offenders. They wonder what it feels like to sit across the table from someone capable of unimaginable violence. What most people never consider is the person asking the questions. The investigator. The police officer. The detective whose job requires entering the darkest corners of humanity, not once, but repeatedly over an entire career. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. For retired Canadian police executive Jenn Hyland, that wasn't entertainment. It was her life. In this compelling Podcast Audio Interview, Hyland takes listeners behind the interrogation room door to reveal the emotional, psychological, and professional realities of investigating serial violent criminals, interviewing child predators, and leading major criminal investigations throughout Canada. Her remarkable policing career spans three major law enforcement organizations and some of the country's most difficult criminal investigations. Along the way she learned that solving crimes is only part of the story. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Living with what investigators witness is often the greater challenge. A Career Built on Service Jenn Hyland began her policing career with the New Westminster Police Department in British Columbia. New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in western Canada and once served as the largest community on British Columbia's mainland before Vancouver experienced explosive growth. Like many young officers, she started learning the fundamentals of policing. Every call was different. Domestic disputes. Traffic collisions. Mental health emergencies. Violent assaults. Missing children. Deaths. Every shift brought uncertainty. Those early experiences laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually place her among Canada's most respected investigative leaders. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Hyland later joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), one of the world's most recognizable law enforcement organizations. Known internationally as the Mounties, the RCMP provides federal policing throughout Canada while also serving many provinces, municipalities, Indigenous communities, airports, and specialized investigative units. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. The organization handles responsibilities that extend far beyond traditional policing. Its officers investigate organized crime, terrorism, border security, financial crime, cybercrime, international investigations, and violent criminal offenses spanning multiple jurisdictions. Working within the RCMP exposed Hyland to increasingly complex criminal investigations. She developed specialized interviewing skills that eventually made her one of Canada's leading investigators in serious violent crime. The Art of the Interview Television often portrays police interviews as dramatic confrontations where detectives yell at suspects until they confess. Reality couldn't be more different. Professional interviewers spend countless hours preparing before a suspect ever enters the room. They study evidence. Analyze timelines. Review witness statements. Understand behavioral patterns. Develop strategies. Prepare follow-up questions. Plan for deception. Every interview begins long before the recorder is turned on. Success often depends on patience rather than intimidation. Listening rather than talking. Understanding psychology instead of relying on pressure. Hyland explains that every interview is unique because every person brings a different personality, background, motivation, and emotional state into the room. Listen to this powerful episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and all most major podcast platforms. The investigator's job is to discover the truth, not simply obtain a confession. Hunting a Serial Child Predator One investigation would remain unforgettable. A serial child rapist. The offender had preyed upon dozens of children over an extended period. Cases involving crimes against children are among the most emotionally devastating assignments in law enforcement. Every interview with a victim carries enormous responsibility. Investigators must obtain critical evidence while minimizing additional trauma to survivors. At the same time, they must prepare for the eventual interview with the offender. For Hyland and her investigative team, that meant understanding the offender's behaviors, identifying patterns, corroborating evidence, and patiently assembling a case capable of surviving intense courtroom scrutiny. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. The work demanded extraordinary attention to detail. One overlooked fact could jeopardize justice for every victim. One successful interview could help provide answers for dozens of families. Looking Evil in the Eye Investigators rarely describe suspects as monsters. That may surprise many people. Professional investigators know the danger of allowing emotion to interfere with objectivity. Instead, they focus on facts. Evidence. Behavior. Statements. Contradictions. Even when interviewing someone responsible for horrific crimes, investigators must remain composed. Their professionalism often becomes their greatest investigative tool. Hyland explains that understanding criminal behavior does not mean sympathizing with criminals. It means learning how they think in order to expose deception and uncover the truth. The Investigation That Hit Closest to Home Perhaps no investigation challenged Hyland more than interviewing a mother accused of murdering her own child. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. By that point in her life, Hyland was raising children herself. The emotional weight became impossible to ignore. Police officers are trained to remain objective. But they are also parents. Spouses. Children. Neighbors. Human beings. Walking into an interview room knowing the victim was a child while looking across the table at the child's own mother creates emotional conflicts few careers ever demand. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Still, investigators cannot allow personal emotion to influence the facts. Justice depends upon objectivity. That balance becomes one of the greatest challenges investigators face. Trauma Doesn't End When the Shift Ends One of the recurring themes throughout Hyland's career is the accumulation of Trauma. Television rarely shows investigators driving home after interviewing grieving parents. It rarely shows detectives lying awake replaying crime scene photographs. It doesn't show birthdays interrupted by homicide calls. Family dinners cut short. Vacations canceled. Sleep disrupted. The emotional toll builds slowly. Many investigators continue performing at exceptionally high levels while privately carrying years of accumulated trauma. By retirement, many discover those experiences never truly disappeared. Building a New Police Service Following her distinguished RCMP career, Hyland accepted another historic challenge. She became part of the leadership team helping establish the Surrey Police Service, a milestone in Canadian policing. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. For decades, Surrey relied upon the RCMP for municipal policing. As one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, Surrey eventually made the decision to establish its own municipal police department. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. Creating an entirely new police organization required vision, planning, recruitment, training, community engagement, and extraordinary leadership. It represented one of the most significant policing transitions in modern Canadian history. On November 29, 2024, the Surrey Police Service officially assumed responsibility for policing the city. Hyland helped guide that transformation. From Police Leader to Author After retiring, Hyland continued serving others through writing. Her Book, "Tightrope: Balancing Duty with Courage and Conviction," explores the difficult decisions leaders face throughout policing and public service. The title reflects the constant balancing act required of police leaders. Compassion versus accountability. Leadership versus friendship. Duty versus family. Conviction versus convenience. The lessons extend far beyond law enforcement and resonate with anyone responsible for leading others during difficult times. Why This Podcast Interview Matters Today's true crime audience often focuses on criminals. Jenn Hyland reminds us that every investigation also includes victims, families, police officers, forensic specialists, prosecutors, and entire investigative teams whose lives are forever changed by the cases they work.

Episode 254 of the Transition Drill podcast explores military spouse transition, family stress, and life after service for veterans, first responders, and military families navigating retirement from high-demand careers. You'll hear Angela DeJarnette on what happens when the uniform comes off, the family system changes, and what it takes to rebuild communication, purpose, and support before the home breaks under the weight of transition.Angie grew up in Franklin, Tennessee, and never planned on becoming a military spouse. Before marrying her husband, a Navy SEAL, she had built her own professional life in commercial real estate and was serving as vice president of her firm. Then came the promise of “one more deployment,” a courthouse marriage, and a life that stretched into 17 more years of military service.Angie talks about the hidden cost of service on the spouse and family. She shares what it was like to live overseas, adapt to isolation in Okinawa, give up control over parts of her life, and build strength through the women around her. While her husband deployed, trained, and served, Angie became the person holding the house, the kids, the decisions, and the emotional weight together.But the hardest transition wasn't a move. It was retirement. When her husband left the SEAL teams in 2019, the family struggled. They were yelling, missing each other emotionally, and learning that they'd been talking at each other instead of to each other. Angie explains how therapy, somatic work, nervous system regulation, and honest communication helped them rebuild.That personal experience became part of her mission. Angie founded The Steps Foundation to support military spouses, female veterans, and Gold Star families through the stress, trauma, identity loss, and uncertainty that come with military transition. Today, STEPS provides long-term support, virtual programming, community connection, and practical tools to help women rebuild their health, purpose, boundaries, and family stability.This episode is a direct reminder that transition doesn't just happen to the service member. It happens to the whole family.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Most adults aren't just overweight, they're under-muscled, wiped out, and wondering why “eating less” keeps leading straight back to the same body and the same problems. If you want to still be strong, mobile, and off a handful of meds when the kids are grown, it's time to stop chasing the scale and start protecting muscle, metabolism, and the basic habits that actually hold your life together.Episode SummaryAdam Lane sits down with online health coach Brad Schabacher to talk about what it really takes to stay healthy as a busy adult with a family, a job, and real-life constraints. They walk through Brad's shift from an out-of-shape dad to a consistent lifter, how environment and community make or break progress, and why simple habits like walking, lifting a few days a week, eating enough protein, and sleeping on purpose do more than any “40‑day challenge.” They also dig into the under-muscled problem in adults over 40, how GLP‑1 drugs can wreck metabolism if you're not lifting and eating enough, and why your kids, spouse, and future grandkids should be part of your reason for getting your health handled now.Key Takeaways How Brad used family as the reason to finally change his healthWhy your environment and gym community matter more than motivationThe “core four” Brad uses to get clients moving in the right directionHow to build fitness around work, kids, and real schedulesWhy walking plus strength training beats random cardioHow to think about treats without blowing up your progressThe role of coaching when you hit bumps or “bad” daysWhy muscle is non-negotiable after 40How GLP‑1 drugs can be used more responsiblyWhy long-term health should be part of how you think about retirement and grandkidsEpisode Chapters: 00:00 Welcome & setup01:26 Brad's story: from out-of-shape dad to health coach04:08 Environment & community05:45 Money, priorities & “I can't afford it”07:24 First domino: workouts, food, sleep10:40 Walking, marriage & connection12:10 Spouses, kids & leading by example15:25 Treats, flexibility & real life16:58 How Brad starts new clients20:05 Time, early mornings & “too busy”22:14 Tech, sleep data & recovery25:00 Protein, hydration & lifting basics26:53 Bad days, mindset & not quitting30:06 Holidays & starting before January31:04 Under-muscled adults & GLP‑135:05 Using GLP‑1s without wrecking metabolism41:18 Retirement, grandkids & long-term health43:15 Wake-up calls, labs & your why44:39 Connect with Brad & closeAbout the Guest Brad Schabacher is an online health coach who helps busy adults develop sustainable habits in the areas of food, movement, and mindset.

Alcoholism: The Family Disease Alcoholism doesn't just affect the person who drinks. It affects everyone who loves them. Spouses begin walking on eggshells. Children learn to adapt to chaos. Parents carry guilt. Brothers and sisters become caretakers. Family roles change, trust erodes, and silence often replaces honest conversation. That's why alcoholism is often called a family disease. Each person develops their own way of surviving. Some become rescuers. Some withdraw. Some become perfectionists. Others become the "hero," the "lost child," or the "scapegoat." Even after the drinking stops, many of those survival patterns remain. The good news is that recovery can become a family journey, too. Healing isn't just about putting down the bottle. It's about rebuilding trust, improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and learning new ways to live together. Recovery gives every member of the family an opportunity to heal from the effects of the disease. Today on The Daily Trudge, we're talking about how alcoholism impacts the entire family system, why recovery involves more than just the alcoholic, and what healing can look like for everyone involved. Because addiction may affect the whole family... But recovery can help heal the whole family. #TheDailyTrudge #Recovery #Alcoholism #FamilyDisease #AA #AlAnon #Healing #RecoveryJourney #OneDayAtATime

Have you ever heard that the man in the marriage has an express right to his wifes body and that she cannot deny him because it is her marital duty to satisfy him? Well in 1 Cor 7:4-5 the Lord rewrites this norm by giving the wife express rights to the husbands body as well!Dive in deep with Pastor Cyndi as she explores the revolutionary mutal rights between a husband and a wife in a Christ-centered marriage!

A new pilot program will try to pair active-duty military spouses in the Air Force and Space Force with potential job leads. The Global Military Spouse Connection program offers targeted outreach, networking opportunities, educational resources and direct contact with hiring managers, the Department of the Air Force said Monday. The pilot will start at Travis Air Force Base in California, Patrick Space Force Base in Florida, and Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Military spouses often struggle to find steady employment amid frequent moves, changing licensing requirements and tumultuous job markets.

We all mess up. Parents fail their children. Spouses hurt each other. We lose our tempers, say things we regret, and make decisions we wish we could take back. The question is not whether we will fail as family members, but what we will do when we do. John's letter offers both a sober diagnosis—“If we claim to […]

Actor Peter Dinklage and playwright Erica Schmidt have been married for two decades, and even though they've collaborated on projects, it's rare for them to do an interview together. That's why we were so excited when they agreed to join Anna on stage at the Tribeca Festival to discuss how they balance privacy and family, why they wish interviewers would stop fixating on Game of Thrones, and how they met on a romantic evening when elephants walked through Manhattan. This episode was produced by Cameron Drews. Extra thanks to Alexandra Cohl and Katie Rayford, who helped with the live event, and Davy Gardner and Allyson Morgan, our talented friends at the Tribeca Festival.

Many fundraising conversations focus on the donor sitting across the table, but rarely are major philanthropic decisions made by one person alone. Spouses, children, attorneys, financial advisors, and trusted friends often shape the timing, confidence, and ultimate outcome of a gift. This episode explores how understanding those influence networks can remove hidden obstacles, strengthen donor relationships, and help donors make the decisions they already want to make. The best fundraisers aren't asking for gifts, they're helping donors navigate the people and dynamics that surround every significant decision.

⚖️ Can One Lawyer Represent Both Spouses in a Divorce? | Los Angeles Divorce ⚖️ Many couples who agree on everything wonder if they can simply hire one attorney to handle their divorce together. In California, an attorney generally cannot represent both spouses in the same divorce case because of potential conflicts of interest. That's why many amicable couples explore neutral alternatives for document preparation and filing assistance.

This week, Alex and Scott tackle a difficult question from a missionary wife who, after experiencing significant trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, family challenges, and cultural stress during overseas service, no longer feels able to return to the mission field while her husband remains convinced they should continue. They explore the realities of missionary hardship, the emotional and spiritual toll of cross-cultural ministry, and the tension that can arise when spouses find themselves at odds over what they believe God is calling them to do. The conversation examines biblical concepts of calling, marriage, submission, family priorities, and the role of the local church in affirming missionary service. Alex and Scott encourage listeners to distinguish between personal desires, genuine calling, and God's providential limitations, while emphasizing that husbands and wives must seek unity, wise counsel, and pastoral guidance when navigating major ministry decisions. Key Topics Covered The emotional, relational, and spiritual impact of missionary trauma and culture shock. How to distinguish between personal desires, ministry ambitions, and biblical calling.

Drift is slow, passive, and creates unwanted distance over time.  Without intentionality, relationships can experience drift. On this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer addresses marital drift. When husbands and wives drift apart. In this episode we will discuss what drift is, what it looks like, and how to close the distance. Show notes:  Marital drift is the slow process of spouses unintentionally becoming distant over time.   What it looks like:  Routines replace intimacy. Relational distance grows.  Small intimate gestures fade.  Spouses act more like roommates than friends.  Spouses love each other but are not connected.  Spouses are increasingly living separate lives.  Closing the distance:  Acknowledge that drift has happened.  Incorporate small acts of love that build intimacy.  Learn about each other's worlds.  Build friendship.  Avoid making negative comparisons of your spouse.  Practice thankfulness. 

What Buyers Should Know About Viewing Properties in Today's Market Buying a home is exciting but touring properties is about much more than simply walking through a front door and deciding whether you like the kitchen. During a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Melissa Wallace sat down with Boston Connect Real Estate agent Sue Bollinger to discuss what buyers should truly understand before scheduling showings, attending open houses, and making offers in today's competitive market. From understanding how online showing requests really work to why private showings matter and how buyers can protect themselves throughout the process, this conversation highlighted the importance of working with experienced real estate professionals every step of the way. The Reality Behind “Schedule a Tour” Buttons Most buyers begin their home search online. But according to Sue Bollinger, many buyers don't realize what actually happens when they click the “Schedule a Tour” button on large real estate websites. Many third-party real estate platforms are designed to generate leads not necessarily connect buyers directly with the listing agent. In many cases: Your information is sent to agents who pay for advertising The agent contacting you may know very little about the property You may unknowingly meet an agent for the very first time in a driveway before a showing The person you speak with may not represent the seller or you Sue explained that buyers often assume they are speaking directly with the listing agent when they are not. That is why it is so important to ask: Who does this agent represent? Are they representing the seller? Are they representing me? What type of agency relationship exists? Understanding representation before touring homes can help buyers avoid confusion and better protect their interests throughout the transaction. Why Buyers Should Have Representation Early One of the biggest themes throughout the show was the importance of working with a dedicated buyer's agent from the very beginning of the home search. A buyer's agent helps: Define your home search criteria Understand your budget Analyze comparable sales Identify property concerns Navigate negotiations Coordinate inspections Explain market value Protect your interests throughout the process As Sue explained during the show: “The listing agent's fiduciary responsibility is to the seller.” That means the listing agent's job is to secure the best possible price and terms for the seller not necessarily the buyer. Having your own representation ensures you have someone advocating for your side of the transaction. Private Showings Are Often the Best Way to View a Home While open houses can be convenient, Melissa and Sue both emphasized that private showings typically provide the best experience for buyers. Private showings allow buyers to: Move through the home at their own pace Ask detailed questions Focus without distractions Evaluate layout and functionality more carefully Have their agent point out important details Sue shared several real-world examples where buyers initially missed major concerns with properties until she toured the homes alongside them. Experienced agents often notice: Sloping floors Moisture issues Foundation concerns Structural problems Signs of deferred maintenance Heating or roofing issues Poor renovations or missing supports Sometimes what looks beautiful cosmetically can hide expensive issues underneath. That is why having a knowledgeable agent physically tour the property with you can make a significant difference. HGTV Isn't Real Life One of the most relatable moments during the show came when Melissa and Sue discussed unrealistic expectations created by television shows. Unlike TV, most buyers: Tour many homes Lose out on properties Adjust their wish lists Revisit properties multiple times Need patience throughout the process In today's market, it is completely normal for buyers to: See several homes before making an offer Tour the same property more than once Reevaluate priorities Compromise on certain features Buying a home is a major financial and emotional decision and it rarely happens as quickly as television makes it appear. All Decision Makers Should Attend Showings Another important point discussed during the episode was making sure all decision makers attend showings whenever possible. That includes: Spouses or partners Family members involved financially Anyone whose opinion will heavily influence the decision Why does this matter? Because it can delay the process when: One person loves the property Another person sees it later and disagrees Additional concerns surface after the fact Different people notice different things during a showing. One buyer may focus on layout, while another notices storage, traffic patterns, noise levels, or renovation needs. Having everyone involved early helps avoid unnecessary complications later. Buyers Should Pay Attention to More Than Cosmetics It is easy to get distracted by beautiful staging, fresh paint, or trendy finishes. But buyers should also pay close attention to: Roof age Heating systems Foundation condition Electrical updates Plumbing concerns Storage space Traffic patterns Noise levels Layout functionality Renovation costs Sue explained that cosmetic issues are often manageable, but large structural or mechanical issues can quickly become expensive. A buyer's agent can help distinguish between: Cosmetic updates Necessary repairs Major red flags This helps buyers make informed decisions while staying within their budget. Be Careful What You Say During Showings One of the most important modern realities buyers should understand is that many homes now have recording devices. These may include: Ring doorbells Interior cameras Smart home systems Baby monitors Audio devices Melissa and Sue stressed the importance of being careful about discussing: Offer strategy Budget Negotiation plans Concerns about pricing during showings or open houses. You never know who may overhear a conversation or what devices may be recording. The best practice? Save strategy discussions for private conversations with your agent after leaving the property. Flexibility Matters in Today's Market Another key takeaway from the conversation was that showing appointments revolve around more than just the buyer's schedule. Many homes are still occupied, which means sellers may be coordinating: Children Pets Work-from-home schedules Health concerns Multiple showing requests That means buyers may occasionally: Need to adjust schedules Wait for approvals Work within limited showing windows Being flexible and respectful can go a long way in securing opportunities to see desirable homes. Final Thoughts Touring homes is about much more than simply deciding whether you like a property. It is about: Understanding value Identifying potential risks Evaluating functionality Protecting your financial future Making informed decisions As Melissa Wallace and Sue Bollinger emphasized throughout the episode, having experienced representation can help buyers confidently navigate the entire process from the very first showing to the closing table.

With Tenants in Common, each owner holds a separate ownership share, and their interest passes to their estate — not automatically to the co-owner. Example: If two friends purchase a rental property together and register as joint tenants, one friend's share would automatically transfer to the other upon death. That may not align with their estate planning intentions. This is why understanding ownership structures is critical — especially when co-owners are not spouses. Spouses are commonly registered as joint tenants, but when unrelated parties are involved, a discussion about ownership structure is essential. This topic is heavily tested in: • Fundamentals of Real Estate • Practice of Residential Real Estate • Fundamentals of Mortgage Brokerage • Alberta licensing exams (RECA) At The Alberta Real Estate School, we focus on helping you understand not just what the answer is — but why it matters in real transactions.

A Podcast Co-Host Relationship sounds fun until different personalities, expectations, and creative habits start crashing into each other behind the scenes. In this episode, our cast and crew talk about what actually keeps a co-host partnership working, from handling conflict and sharing responsibilities to knowing when somebody's carrying too much of the weight. There's also that moment where a co-host stops feeling like just another voice on the mic and starts feeling like the reason the show works at all. By the end, you'll probably think a little differently about the conversations happening before and after the record button gets pressed.

When survivors finally begin talking about abuse, especially years later, the truth rarely arrives in one neat statement. It often comes in fragments, sensory flashes, and moments that can leave spouses and families confused, hurt, or unsure what to do next. In this episode, Mike King sits down with psychologist Dr. Patrice Berry to walk through one of the hardest true crime realities behind closed doors, delayed disclosure. They talk about why trauma memories can surface in pieces, why some survivors do not speak until marriage, parenthood, retirement, or a major case in the news, and what loved ones should do in the first hours and days after disclosure. This conversation also looks at criminal justice pressure points, including credibility attacks, investigative contamination concerns, and the damage that can happen when a survivor is doubted, rushed, or forced into details before they are ready. If you care about victims, spouses, memory, and the way trauma ripples through families long after the crime, this episode matters.#TrueCrime #Trauma #ChildAbuse #SexualAbuse #SurvivorVoices #TraumaRecovery #VictimAdvocacy #CoerciveControl #CultAbuse #ComplexTrauma #PTSD #Dissociation #DelayedDisclosure #FamilyTrauma #CriminalJustice #ForensicPsychology #TraumaInformed #CSA #MaleSurvivors #ProfilingEvil #PatriceBerry========================================CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In this episode of Dismantling You, I sit down with Kelsey Bates, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Founder of New York Women's CBT, to talk about the emotional weight of living with chronic illness. Kelsey shares how her own chronic illness shaped her decision to leave a 9 to 5 model and build a telehealth practice that meets women where they are. We dig into the difference between chronic pain and chronic illness, why so many women fall through the cracks of the medical system, and how stigma, racism, and cost combine to leave patients without a coordinated quarterback for their care.We also get into medical trauma and medical gaslighting, two terms Kelsey unpacks in a way that finally puts language to experiences so many women have lived through. Kelsey explains how repeated dismissals show up in the body (fight or flight, hypervigilance, freeze), and why third wave CBT approaches like ACT and DBT can succeed where traditional CBT often feels invalidating. We close with Kelsey's take on radical acceptance, the distress tolerance menu she gives every client, and the realistic version of self care that has nothing to do with facials and everything to do with PT and anti inflammatory food.__________________________________________________Key Highlights

Adam Green — co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that pragmatic economic populism is the Democratic Party's path back to a durable majority, and to push back hard on the conventional wisdom that "moderate" means "centrist." Green argues the public has lost faith in both political and economic systems and is hungry for candidates who tell a clear story about power — pointing to Maine's Graham Platner, Texas's James Talarico, and New York's Zohran Mamdani as examples of progressives who project authentic energy and pragmatic problem-solving rather than ideological purity. He contends that both major parties have already collapsed reputationally even if they haven't yet collapsed structurally, that Democrats could have passed a $12 minimum wage years ago if they'd been willing to compromise, and that recruiting 77-year-old Janet Mills against Platner is symbolic of everything wrong with Chuck Schumer's approach to the Senate. Green is blunt: if Democrats sweep the midterms but leadership remains unchanged, it actually hurts them in 2028 — a Democratic Senate majority should not be read as a validation of Schumer. They discuss why he Democratic brand is so damaged in red and rural states that independent candidates may be the best path to power in places like Montana and Nebraska, and that having someone like Platner in Senate leadership would dramatically improve Democratic performance in rural America. The conversation digs into the deeper strategic and policy questions facing the party. Green argues Democrats should lead with economic alignment over cultural alignment and that Dems should not put reproductive rights forward as their headline issue if they want to rebuild trust in the heartland. He pushes for progressive lawmakers to assert real leverage against their own leadership, advocates lowering the threshold for discharge petition, and makes the case that getting rid of the filibuster would help Democrats rebuild trust with voters who are tired of seeing nothing get done. Green is open to limited cooperation with Trump if Democrats win both chambers but warns the party shouldn't trim its sails just to get a signature. He explains why the PCC backed Talarico over Crockett , names UAW president Shawn Fain as a potential dark-horse candidate, and floats Stephen Colbert as a genuinely intriguing possibility because performance matters in a media-saturated era. Green argues Talarico, Platner, and Abdul El-Sayed all tell a coherent story about power that voters are hungry to hear, but ultimately, the candidate who runs as a genuine disruptor is the one most likely to win, because the current system is so visibly failing the public.

Chuck Todd dives into the Supreme Court's latest ruling further hollowing out the Voting Rights Act and walks through what it actually means in practice — including the very real possibility that several Southern states will now try to redistrict, creating a messy political landscape that won't necessarily benefit Republicans in the way they hope. He traces the history back to the 1990s Georgia reapportionment that led to major GOP pickups by packing Black Democratic voters into fewer districts, but warns this round of Southern redistricting will create more swing districts. He uses the moment to make the case for what he sees as the real structural fix to America's representation crisis: uncapping the House of Representatives to allow it to grow with population the way the founders originally intended, with Madison himself arguing the chamber would always need to expand. He argues that a bigger House would lower the barrier for third parties, minimize the outsized impact of the Electoral College, dramatically reduce the incentive to gerrymander — and crucially, this change wouldn't exclusively benefit either party. His framing is simple: stop fighting over the chairs at the table and increase the size of the table itself. He then pivots to what he calls the rise of the "woke right" — citing the second Comey indictment as exhibit A, noting that the right has now embraced exactly the kind of oversensitivity they once accused the left of engaging in, and pointing out it's no accident that Pam Bondi wouldn't bring the Comey case but Todd Blanche will. He flags that the FCC's attacks on Jimmy Kimmel will badly backfire, dismisses the Hegseth congressional hearing as a useless exercise where everyone was just chasing viral moments, and argues that Hegseth himself is suffering from a bad case of "internet brain" — actively politicizing the military while failing to make a coherent case for why the Iran war was ever necessary. He closes with a pointed observation about the entire administration: nobody around Trump believes any criticism of him is ever valid, and they appear to genuinely think voters are stupid enough to never notice. Then, Adam Green — co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that pragmatic economic populism is the Democratic Party's path back to a durable majority, and to push back hard on the conventional wisdom that "moderate" means "centrist." Green argues the public has lost faith in both political and economic systems and is hungry for candidates who tell a clear story about power — pointing to Maine's Graham Platner, Texas's James Talarico, and New York's Zohran Mamdani as examples of progressives who project authentic energy and pragmatic problem-solving rather than ideological purity. He contends that both major parties have already collapsed reputationally even if they haven't yet collapsed structurally, that Democrats could have passed a $12 minimum wage years ago if they'd been willing to compromise, and that recruiting 77-year-old Janet Mills against Platner is symbolic of everything wrong with Chuck Schumer's approach to the Senate. Green is blunt: if Democrats sweep the midterms but leadership remains unchanged, it actually hurts them in 2028 — a Democratic Senate majority should not be read as a validation of Schumer. They discuss why he Democratic brand is so damaged in red and rural states that independent candidates may be the best path to power in places like Montana and Nebraska, and that having someone like Platner in Senate leadership would dramatically improve Democratic performance in rural America. The conversation digs into the deeper strategic and policy questions facing the party. Green argues Democrats should lead with economic alignment over cultural alignment and that Dems should not put reproductive rights forward as their headline issue if they want to rebuild trust in the heartland. He pushes for progressive lawmakers to assert real leverage against their own leadership, advocates lowering the threshold for discharge petition, and makes the case that getting rid of the filibuster would help Democrats rebuild trust with voters who are tired of seeing nothing get done. Green is open to limited cooperation with Trump if Democrats win both chambers but warns the party shouldn't trim its sails just to get a signature. He explains why the PCC backed Talarico over Crockett , names UAW president Shawn Fain as a potential dark-horse candidate, and floats Stephen Colbert as a genuinely intriguing possibility because performance matters in a media-saturated era. Green argues Talarico, Platner, and Abdul El-Sayed all tell a coherent story about power that voters are hungry to hear, but ultimately, the candidate who runs as a genuine disruptor is the one most likely to win, because the current system is so visibly failing the public. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, weighs in on the DNC choosing NOT to release their 2024 autopsy, and reacts to the expansion on the NCAA basketball tournament.

Have you ever had a conversation with a loved one go in a completely different direction than what you saw coming? Your intention was there, but the way your loved one received it was nothing in the way you intended it?  Our good friend, Jason VanRuler, started to see this pattern in many of the people he had come into therapy. Conversations between people -- where everything was at stake -- and the intentions were there, but someone inevitably walked away feeling hurt, unseen, or even abandoning the relationship altogether. What one person meant isn't what the other person heard. So Jason asked himself, “Why does it sometimes land well, and other times not?”The more research he did, the more he learned predictable patterns that led to 5 primary communication types: Peace, Advocate, Thinking, Harbor, and Spark. Each one with a strength and each one with an opportunity. Not only that, each person has their own primary and secondary type. In this episode, Jason unveils each type, how we develop our own, and how we can better understand how our spouse, kids, and loved ones communicate with us. We get into marital dynamics and why we usually marry someone with similar secondary type, but the trouble that can arise when we realize we don't have the same primary one. We also talk about how knowing the types can help us communicate at a deeper level with our kids. Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:18 Jason VanRuler joins the show!4:34 Why these communication types matters 6:00 Jason introduces the 5 PATHS of communication11:16 Where our personal communication style comes from 14:05 Strengths and weaknesses of each communication type 20:20 The communication types in our children and how we give what we didn't get25:05 How different communication types serve us in marriage Show Notes: Get Jason's new book Discovering Your Communication Type: The 5 Paths to Deeper Connections and Stronger Relationships: https://amzn.to/4sZzbwc Check out Jason's website: www.jasonvr.comReserve your seat for Tender & Fierce Fall Cohort beginning August 17, 2026: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/V75F6bY2Looking for a marriage intensive with Famous at Home?

How are you subconsciously buying into the lie that there is a secular-sacred divide?   In this episode, Jeff and Sharon discuss:  The intersection of faith and finance. Glorifying God through your business leadership. Investing in the things that will last for eternity. Communicating with others through a common language narrative.    Key Takeaways:  God's ways work at all times, and they work for believers and non-believers. As a business person, you have a stronger pulpit than the pastor. You are with your employees for 40+ hours a week, not only 30 minutes per week. Busyness is not an indicator of success. It is a sneaky trap for comparison. Intentionality with what God has called you to is the key to success. Spouses should be having the money conversations, including working with the financial advisor, together. They should be on the same page and allow the money to tell a narrative.    "I'm a firm believer that when we construct our business around fulfilling God's purpose and God's mission, then not only are employees going to be impacted, but our vendors will be impacted, our clients will be impacted, and, plus, it's just more joyful to live God's way." —  Sharon Epps   Episode References:  Women Doing Well: https://womendoingwell.org/ Kingdom Advisors: https://kingdomadvisors.com/   About Sharon Epps: Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors.

We're not skirting the hard stuff today. From living with a spouse who won't get help, to raising kids in a culture that feeds anxiety and confusion, to dealing with hurt inside the church, these are the real questions you're asking.But before we get to them, we need to talk about something bigger: the slow drift away from truth, even inside the church. When everything becomes “discernment” and everyone claims special insight, we stop thinking clearly and start dividing over things that shouldn't divide us.We're going to get grounded again. Truth matters. Your family matters. And how you live this out right now matters more than ever.Show mentions: http://heidistjohn.com/mentionsWebsite | heidistjohn.comSupport the show! | donorbox.org/donation-827Rumble | rumble.com/user/HeidiStJohnYoutube | youtube.com/@HeidiStJohnPodcastInstagram | @‌heidistjohnFacebook | Heidi St. JohnX | @‌heidistjohnFaith That Speaks Online CommunitySubmit your questions for Fan Mail Friday | heidistjohn.com/fanmailfriday

Dr. Rob challenges the common belief that the addiction part of a person is separate and therefore able to be dealt with and removed altogether. Rather, the addict part of you is part of the whole you, and will always have the potential to act out again. As a result, there is danger in declaring that you will never act out again. So what can recovering addicts do instead? Dr. Rob highlights reasonable expectations of both partners in recovery, strategies for building trust again, and the importance of creating a solid support group for both partners after betrayal.    TAKEAWAYS: [1:22] There are two separate parts of me, right? Wrong.  [4:00] If I lie again am I not really in recovery?  [5:45] The value of attending 12-Step meetings long after recovery begins.  [8:07] Common pitfalls in the years after recovery.  [10:09] The importance of building social support relationships.  [11:46] Treatment doesn't actually fix anyone.  [13:36] Will my spouse ever do this to me again?  [18:03] Strategies for building trust after betrayal.  [22:00] Spouses have work to do as well.  [27:07] Will we ever be happy together again?  [32:00] Addicts need to work every day on being the best people they can be.   RESOURCES: Sex and Relationship Healing @RobWeissMSW Sex Addiction 101  Seeking Integrity Free Sexual Addiction Screening Assessment Partner Sexuality Survey   Seeking Integrity Podcasts are produced in partnership with Podfly Productions.    QUOTES: “Your capability to do negative things doesn't go away because you keep your addiction in check.

Got some sh!t to say?This week, Marko and Steve dive into the world of work spouses—the coworker you vent to, laugh with, and probably talk to more than your actual partner during the day. They break down why these relationships feel so essential at work, and why they can make even the worst jobs bearable… but also question when that closeness starts to look a little too close.Because let's be real—what happens when your real partner isn't exactly a fan? The guys get into the discomfort, jealousy, and side-eyes that can come with having a work spouse, especially when boundaries start to blur and outsiders (or your significant other) think something more is going on.To wrap things up, Eduardo joins the guys to  tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.-Articles:Psychology Today | The Work Spouse: Indispensable Friend or Playing with Fire?Support the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That's (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at relationshitquestions@gmail.com.

Feeling alone in your own community can create quiet relational strain and identity confusion. This isn't social failure or emotional weakness. It may be a sign of identity-level misalignment — belonging through performance instead of being known.You can be surrounded by people and still feel alone.Not rejected.Not excluded.Just slightly unseen.This episode explores the quiet loneliness that can exist inside belonging — especially for high performers and high-capacity leaders who learned early that usefulness secured connection.If you've ever left a room exhausted not because anything went wrong, but because you were subtly “on,” this conversation will feel familiar.We explore:Why capable people often belong through strength instead of mutualityHow nervous system regulation shapes social bracingWhy identity drift can happen even in healthy communitiesThe external cost of armor in leadership relationships and family systemsThis isn't about communication skills or better social strategies.It's about recognition.When belonging is built on performance — even subtle performance — people begin relating to what you provide, not who you are. Over time, that creates distance. Teams learn that safety equals productivity. Children learn that love equals strength. Spouses stop offering care because you don't look like you need it.And underneath all of that? Often grief.Because the role that secured your belonging also protected you. Letting it soften can feel like risking your place.We gently explore the nervous system layer — how hyper-attunement, micro-adjustments, and social fatigue are not personality flaws, but adaptive strategies. And we name the layer few people speak about calmly: sometimes being the strong one keeps you slightly above needing anyone.Recognition comes before resolution. Awareness without shame is where recalibration begins.Today's Micro Recalibration:In your next relational space, ask gently:Do I exhale here?Not to fix it.Not to judge it.Just to notice.That awareness alone begins the shift.If you've been feeling relational strain, subtle burnout, or an identity shift you can't quite name — you're not broken. You may simply be recalibrating how you belong.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!
