In Part 2 of our conversation with Leo Gura, the discussion moves from abstract truth into the territory most people avoid: morality, evil, love, and survival. If everything is one, what becomes of good and bad? If reality is infinite consciousness, are our moral systems discoveries or inventions shaped by fear and self-preservation? The episode wrestles with whether absolute truth dissolves morality or reveals a deeper foundation beneath it, and what it would mean to live from that realization without collapsing into nihilism.Part 1: https://youtu.be/rLYFHXf1xXUPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!00:03:55 Good, Bad, and Absolute Ontology00:06:17 Stages of Moral Development00:09:41 Expanding the Self to Infinity00:12:03 Relative vs Absolute Morality00:17:24 Accountability Within Oneness00:21:35 Law, Consent, and Moral Relativism00:27:22 When Love Becomes Naive00:30:24 Survival Corrupts Pure Ideas00:33:02 Radical Open-Mindedness00:37:13 Good and Evil as Human Constructs00:42:01 Can Evil Exist Ontologically?00:46:16 Trauma, Awakening, and Survival00:51:10 Jesus, Suffering, and Infinite Love00:55:06 Ontology of Love and Infinity00:59:05 Infinity, God, and Absolute Reality01:06:40 Unity in Nature and Daily Life01:11:18 Integration and Practical Awakening01:16:23 Consciousness Beyond Humanity01:19:41 Immortality Through Infinity01:21:20 Closing Reflections and Invitation #Nonduality, #Consciousness, #Awakening, #AbsoluteTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #MoralPhilosophy, #InfiniteLove, #SelfInquiry, #SpiritualAwakening, #TruthSeeking, #PhilosophicalDebate, #skepticism , #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
We all have hard seasons.Stages where the ground on which we stand seems to crumble, nothing seems to be in our favor and the winter seems endless.To know pain, to endure suffering and to feel as though the trial will never end is to be fully human. And to become most intimate with life itself.Our pain, in truth, becomes a purifier. Difficulty softens us, unmasks us and opens us—allowing the gifts of wisdom, humility and patience to become our new way of being.By the way, I've created a really special and deeply tactical new course that will help you significantly increase your productivity and performance over the next 30 days.

Vice President JD Vance told a crowd in central Wisconsin to re-elect Republican Derrick Van Orden. The state's 3rd Congressional District is a top target for Democrats. Wisconsin voters tell a pollster they're unlikely to support new school referendums. And, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says negotiations with the governor on a tax deal are still in the early stages. But he's optimistic.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:This solo episode is my attempt to provide answers to the question of why some families see greater change than others when using the CRAFT approach. Drawing on 6+ years of watching hundreds of parents move through this process, some gaining traction, some spinning their wheels, I'm sharing the 10 most common reasons why parents who are 'doing the work' aren't getting the results they want. It's a no-fluff audit of what might be holding you back, and it comes from my heart because there are no more important results to strive for than a healthy family.If you've been at this for a while and feel like things aren't moving in the right direction, this one is for you.You'll hear about:A foundational piece most parents skip without realizing itWhy doing more often backfiresA timing factor that determines whether any skill worksThe fastest path forward when communication has broken downWhy inconsistency isn't a character flawEPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream Playlists - Start Here PlaylistJennifer Ollis Blomqvist on using Motivational Interviewing, Hopestream episode 306Dr. Emily Kline on using Motivational Interviewing for hard conversations, Hopestream episode 160Using Motivational Interviewing and CRAFT as a double punch effort to create change in your family, Hopestream episode 256CRAFT family resources and providers with Helping Families HelpUsing CRAFT, MI and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy together to help your child, Hopestream episode 260Stages of Change workshopStages of Change downloadable cheat-sheet here Hopestream podcast episode 66 on the Stages of ChangeThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Ep. 223 | Four solid years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, integral thinkers Kateryna Yasko and Vytautas Bučiūnas relate what life in Ukraine is like—emotionally, physically, spiritually. Far from what you might expect of a conversation about the state of Ukraine after four years of war—far from being battered and downtrodden—this is a story of resilience, resourcefulness, courage, and accelerated human development. Kateryna likens Ukraine to a living laboratory of transformation—with everyone united in the fight to preserve democracy and their identity as a nation, “the social fabric is strong, the resilience is astonishing…heroes receive a lot of gratitude from the people they serve.” On a personal level, Kateryna and Vytas share how they have grown in ways they wouldn't have expected: capacities have widened, appreciation of life has deepened, and experiences of profound joy arise in giving their all, together with their compatriots, for the future of the next generation.Leadership in Ukraine is in an evolutionary elevator, Vytautas, an integral leadership development consultant, tells us. Leaders no longer have the option to be reactive or habitual, and this has generated extraordinary creativity and courage in leadership in the military, business, politics, and social groups. Kateryna, a pedagogical psychologist, points out that human rights, democracy, and freedom are foundational for spiritual growth. People need to understand how to manifest their political self, she says, because if they don't, they will tend to escape into spirituality in a form of spiritual bypassing. “What can we do to help? co-host John Dupuy asks. “Come to Ukraine!” Kateryna and Vytas respond. Come experience and co-create the vertical development happening in this living laboratory of modern crisis. Recorded February 8, 2026.“The best way to practice spirituality is human rights assurance and activism; all the rest is secondary.”Topics & Time StampsIntroducing from Kyiv, Kateryna Yasko, pedagogical psychologist & Vytautas Bučiūnas, integral coach & leadership development consultant (01:01)What is the psychological and physical weather in Ukraine after 4 years of war?

Most coaches don't struggle because they lack confidence or passion—they struggle because they're in a predictable stage of skill development. In this episode, I break down the 5 stages of becoming a coach, why each stage feels the way it does, and how learning theory and the four stages of competence explain why so many coaches feel stuck despite doing "all the right things." We'll talk about: Why personal growth doesn't automatically translate into coaching skill The difference between consuming information and developing competence What I call the coaching gap—and why it's a training issue, not a personal flaw How coaches move from intuition and soft skills to real, repeatable results What separates good coaches from expert-level coaches If you're a coach who wants to go beyond the basics, refine your craft, and coach with confidence rooted in skill, this episode will help you identify where you are—and what your next step should be.

Every ketamine clinic goes through predictable life cycle stages, just like human development. And understanding which stage you're in changes everything about how you make decisions.In this episode, we introduce a framework for understanding the four distinct phases every ketamine clinic experiences: infancy (startup survival), teenage years (identity formation), prime adult years (optimization and scaling), and midlife and beyond (legacy and transition planning).We walk you through what to expect at each stage and the questions to ask yourself to identify where your clinic is right now. This helps you make strategic decisions aligned with your values rather than reactive choices based on fear or pressure.Whether you're contemplating opening a clinic, surviving startup chaos, establishing systems, or considering your exit strategy, this framework helps you anticipate what's coming next and prepare accordingly..This isn't theoretical business advice. We've experienced several of these stages firsthand with our own clinic and have supported many providers as they navigate phases we're still approaching ourselves. What You'll Learn:

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, we dive deep into the world of experiential therapy with Steve Buckby, a seasoned therapist with over 50 years of experience. Steve shares his profound insights into the Virginia Satir Model and how its principles of change, the "Mandala," and the "Iceberg" can be powerful tools for those struggling with addiction.We explore the idea of addiction as a "lover" that must be grieved, the necessity of walking through chaos to find a new status quo, and why the relationship between therapist and client is a collaborative journey of human-to-human connection.Key TakeawaysThe Process of Change: Change isn't a straight line; it requires moving from a familiar (even if painful) status quo, through a "foreign element" that sparks chaos, and finally into a new, healthier balance.Addiction as a "Lover": Recovery often involves a grieving process similar to the stages of grief described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Letting go of a substance is often like losing a significant, albeit toxic, relationship.The Satir Mandala: Understanding the physical, intellectual, emotional, sensual, interactional, nutritional, contextual, and spiritual dimensions of ourselves to find true balance.Vulnerability & Connection: Addiction thrives in isolation. Healing begins when we take the risk to be "real" and vulnerable within a supportive community or therapeutic relationship.Education as Empowerment: Understanding the physiology of addiction helps separate the person from the "ism," reducing shame and fostering self-forgiveness.Understanding the Satir ModelSteve explains that human beings naturally seek a Status Quo. In addiction, that status quo is the cycle of use. To break it, a "Foreign Element" (a crisis, a choice, or an intervention) must disrupt the system.The Stages of TransformationOld Status QuoThe familiar, predictable way of living (even if dysfunctional). Foreign ElementAn event or realization that makes the old status quo no longer viable.ChaosThe "limbo" period where old patterns don't work and new ones aren't yet formed. Integration Learning new strategies and internalizing resources. New Status Quo A state of higher functioning, self-compassion, and awareness.The "Iceberg Theory"Steve also touches on the Iceberg Theory, which suggests that behavior (the tip of the iceberg) is driven by much deeper levels of feelings, perceptions, expectations, yearnings, and the "Self.""The story is not the problem; the meaning of the story is really important." — Steve BuckbyBy shifting the meaning we give to our past trauma and choices, we can move from shame to positive-directional change.About Our Guest: Steve BuckbySteve Buckby is a certified social worker and licensed professional counselor based in Escanaba, Michigan. Practicing since the early 1970s, Steve has dedicated his career to outpatient and inpatient care, as well as teaching the experiential methods of Virginia Satir to the next generation of healers.Connect with Steve:Email: sbucb@charter.netResources MentionedVirginia Satir Global NetworkThe Kübler-Ross Stages of GriefMindfulness PracticesEnjoyed the show?

The Myth of Time Healing: Contrary to popular belief, time alone does not heal betrayal wounds. Assessment responses reveal people still struggling 15, 35, even 40+ years after their betrayal, with statements like "feels like it happened yesterday" and "I'll never trust again." The Critical Difference: Betrayal recovery requires deliberate, intentional healing—you can't count on time or a new relationship to fix it. The Problem with Traditional Approaches Wrong Tools at the Wrong Stage: Even excellent therapeutic tools can backfire when applied at the inappropriate stage of recovery: Stage 2 (Shock & Trauma): Clients need nervous system regulation, not gratitude exercises or trust-building Stage 4 (Rebuilding): Clients may not need the same interventions that worked in earlier stages Why Coaches Struggle: Practitioners often dread seeing betrayal clients because their proven methods aren't working—but it's not the tools, it's the timing. Someone who's been betrayed isn't starting at the same place as other clients. The Waitlist Initiative A new waitlist has been created to connect people struggling with betrayal to properly certified coaches and practitioners. The response has been overwhelming, with heartbreaking stories of: PTSD symptoms 30 years post-betrayal Closed-off relationships due to family betrayals from decades ago Lives that "haven't been the same since" Understanding the Stages Stage 2: Shock and trauma—nervous system completely dysregulated Stage 3: Survival mode—functional but flat, no joy. This is where most people get stuck because: It feels better than the chaos of Stage 2 It's the "familiar known" Fear of the shakeup change would create Intentionally ignoring intuition due to lack of bandwidth The Stage 2-3 Loop: Many people bounce between shock/trauma and survival, like being thrown down a ravine, climbing up, then being thrown down again. Stage 4 & 5: Hopeful, growth-oriented, forward-moving—but most people don't even know these stages exist. Why People Stay Stuck Lack of awareness: They don't know Stage 4 and 5 exist Familiar vs. good: We choose the familiar known over the unfamiliar unknown, even when it's not serving us Fear of disruption: New boundaries and standing up for yourself creates a shakeup Bandwidth concerns: Mental, emotional, physical, or financial limitations Comparison trap: Stage 3 seems "good enough" compared to Stage 2 The Cost of Staying Stuck Post Betrayal Syndrome symptoms persist when you ignore your intuition and stay in Stage 3: Physical illnesses and conditions Mental and emotional symptoms Your body communicates through its weakest link Over 100,000 people tested show consistent symptom patterns The Reframe The Weight Loss Analogy: Two friends, both 30 pounds overweight and "fine." One loses the weight and transforms—feels amazing, confident, energized. The other declines help, saying "I'm okay." The Truth: If you knew for even a minute what Stage 5 felt like, you wouldn't waste another minute in Stage 3. The Path Forward Healing requires moving through all five stages with the right support and tools applied at the right time. The goal of the PBT Institute certification program is to get the Five Stages framework into as many qualified hands as possible—because it's not about one person, it's about every certified practitioner reaching everyone in their sphere. Most Common Betrayal Types From the waitlist responses: Family betrayal Partner betrayal Note: Early, unhealed betrayals (often in childhood or early relationships) frequently underlie later betrayal experiences—it's often not where you think it started. Bottom Line: Just because something is familiar doesn't mean it's good. There's something so much better waiting in Stages 4 and 5—but you have to move through the process deliberately and intentionally to get there.

"No work takes deep root, or has real stability, or will perpetuate itself, unless the apostle has begotten the interior life in other souls.

Alpha Hour Exhortation - Episode 1234
You can be brilliant in every area of your life and still feel lost in love if you do not know which stage of relationships keeps tripping you up. Hilary breaks relationships into three defining stages and asks a direct question at each one: do you trust yourself here? From choosing the right partner, to staying grounded in the early months, to sustaining a healthy long-term bond, she challenges the idea that love problems come down to luck. If you cannot trust your judgment, your authenticity, or your ability to handle intimacy, the same patterns will follow you into every relationship. She walks through the most common blind spots women have at each stage: ignoring red flags, performing when you really like him, over-functioning or shutting down once things get serious. Most women were never taught the actual skills required to build lasting partnership, yet they assume desire alone is enough. The deeper invitation of this episode is honest self-assessment. Where are you unsteady? Where are you unskilled? And where are you hoping the right man will compensate for something you have not yet strengthened in yourself? Episode Highlights: How to know if your picker is broken The difference between standards and fear Why the early dating stage exposes your deepest insecurities The hidden skills required for long-term partnership How lack of self-trust fuels repeated relationship patterns Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Understanding Relationship Challenges 05:55 The Picking Stage: Trusting Your Choices 12:08 Navigating Early Relationship Stages 16:55 Building a Lasting Relationship: Skills and Confidence ✨ I'm Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love. I help high-achieving women show up in love as confidently as they do in their careers.

What if you could diagnose exactly where you are on the happiness scale—and why? In this groundbreaking episode, Harry Loyd unveils his brand-new "Subjective Life Quality Index"—a 7-stage chart that maps human happiness from rock bottom (0) to enlightenment (10+). Dr. Alex Loyd calls it "as good, if not better" than Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Erikson's Stages of Development, and Kübler-Ross' Stages of Grief. This is the chart's first public presentation. You're seeing it before it's even digitized. ✓ What You'll Discover: ✓ The 7 stages of subjective life quality (0-10+) and where most people get stuck ✓ Why "waiting on the world" (7) is a transitory stage you can't stay in ✓ The "empty cup" trap (5-6): dependency, anxiety, and the "I'll be happy when..." cycle ✓ Why most people are stuck at a 5 (the dependent/anxiety zone) ✓ The honeymoon effect: why happiness from worldly things only lasts 5 minutes to 6 months ✓ Learned helplessness (3-4): the depression zone and why it's sustainable (which makes it dangerous) ✓ Destructive behavior (1-2): hedonism, materialism, narcissism—when desires become needs ✓ Rock bottom (0-1): disillusioned—but why this stage can actually move you UP ✓ The two paths from "waiting on the world": deserving vs. contending ✓ Jacob (8): when pain becomes meaningful and suffering minimizes ✓ The High Road (10+): enlightenment, fulfillment from BEING not achieving ✓ Fragmented intent: the "last enemy" that keeps you from staying at 10+
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Vince Maltz, a high-performance mindset coach who works with NHL players, Division I athletes, and elite performers. We dig into what “mindset training” actually looks like in real life, beyond the clichés, and why it's inseparable from physiology, recovery, and nervous system regulation. We also get into the modern performance environment: fake expertise, too many voices in the kitchen, and why big organizations adapt slowly. Vince breaks down centralized vs. decentralized leadership, how athletes can learn to think for themselves inside a system, and why being a “nerd” at your sport is becoming a competitive advantage. From there, we hit practical tools: how athletes move from conscious competence to unconscious competence faster, why distributed cognition matters in team sports, and what individuals can do today to improve performance through breathing, cold exposure, communication, and environment.

One thing moms struggle with is feeling bad about their progress in becoming calm and showing up calm with their kids. We all know we aren't at our best when we're stressed, overwhelmed and reactive. But knowing how to calm down in the moment isn't always as easy as it sounds.You'll Learn:Why you become reactive and yell, threaten or ice your kid outThree steps to pause and get back to calmClues you need a Pause BreakWhat to do after you've reacted in a way you don't loveI'm walking you through my 3-step process to catch yourself, pause and get back to feeling calm.---------------------------------------Why Do I Still Get So Mad?All moms experience really tough parenting moments. Moments when you've been stuck in what I call Mad Mom SyndromeYou know what I'm talking about. Moments when your child is a bit off track and you get upset and all of a sudden you are yelling, threatening, and lecturing, followed by guilt and rushed apologies.Moments you are worried that the behavior you see in the present is a predictor of the future, so you act super strict and controlling.Moments when you are frustrated and say a snide or mean remark to your kid.Then, when you have a mad mom episode and act in a way you don't think you should, a lot of criticism, guilt, and doubt pours in. You feel bad that you aren't calm or think you should be getting there faster. But here's the thing…Becoming calm is a PROCESS. It's a PRACTICE. It's something you work on over time. Some days it's easy, and some days it isn't. All of that is ok.These types of moments are a clue that you are in your stress cycle and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Your brain is convinced that the circumstance is an emergency. Then, the brain activates a BIG, INTENSE STRESS RESPONSE.You become super reactive and respond to your children with stress, anxiety, frustration or anger. Then they escalate their stress behaviors and the next thing you know you are in a chaotic argument with your kids. The 3 Stages of Becoming CalmBecoming Calm is a process. It takes time. Be gentle with yourself. When you feel yourself spiraling, CATCH YOURSELF AND PAUSE. This is simple but not easy, and it comes in stages.Stage 1 - The AFTER. When you're first starting out, you may only catch yourself after you've yelled or gotten upset. Stage 2 - The DURING. After a while, you'll catch yourself while you are yelling or acting upset. Stage 3 - The BEFORE. Eventually you start to catch yourself before you yell or act out your frustration/overwhelm. This is the goal that you're working towards. No matter what stage you're in, to get out of Mad Mom Syndrome and get back to feeling calm, you need the Pause Break. There are also 3 steps to the Pause Break:Step 1: STOPDon't Talk. Don't Engage. You can stop yourself at any point when you notice you are in your stress response and are seeing signs of Mad Mom Syndrome.Step 2: DELAYDon't decide. Don't act. Don't do anything about the situation (unless it's a true emergency). Give yourself time to think and get calm.Step 3: RESETActively do something to calm your stress response. During a "Reset", you will move your body,

If you've ever wondered how some entrepreneurs consistently land speaking opportunities, panels, and corporate invitations, this episode breaks it down. Spoiler: It's not luck. In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames shares the strategy behind her recent speaking momentum — from Career Day and community events to corporate ERG panels, Power Table Live, and curated networking experiences like Coffee + ChatGPT. This isn't about chasing stages. It's about building them. With over 15 years of online experience as a blogger, influencer, agency owner, and marketing strategist, Michelle explains how speaking opportunities compound when you focus on ecosystem building, proximity, and infrastructure — not pitching. If you're a solopreneur, coach, consultant, or creative looking to grow your authority and get booked without begging, this episode is your blueprint. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to get speaking engagements without cold pitching Why hosting your own events builds credibility faster The strategy behind panels and association capital How to warm up rooms before you enter them Why community speaking (like Career Day) strengthens authority How to build a speaking ecosystem instead of chasing invitations The difference between exposure and positioning The Speaking Strategy No One Talks About Most people wait to be picked. Michelle shares why convening — hosting events, creating conversations, and building rooms — positions you as a thought leader before you ever step on a stage. In this episode, she explains: • Why Coffee + ChatGPT is more than just an event — it's authority architecture • How pre-networking builds familiarity before panel appearances • Why corporate ERG panels expand credibility beyond entrepreneurship • How stacking rooms across industries increases visibility and leverage If you want to be the “obvious one” in your space, you need more than a polished bio — you need proximity and infrastructure.

They explore the systemic issues that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential, the importance of deliberate practice, and the mindset shifts necessary for long-term success.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
When communication in a relationship starts to feel harder than it used to, it's easy to wonder whether something is wrong, with your partner, or with the relationship itself. Many couples reach this point during the power struggle stage in relationships, when differences feel sharper, conflict escalates more quickly, and emotional safety can start to feel shaky. In today's conversation, I'm joined by Thais Gibson, and we're talking about why relationship power struggles are not a sign of failure, but a normal part of the stages of love. We explore what's really happening beneath the surface when couples feel stuck in recurring conflict, including how the anxious avoidant relationship cycle can quietly take over communication and leave both partners feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Together, we unpack the myth that “good relationships should feel easy,” and talk honestly about normal relationship conflict, what's expected, what's workable, and what actually helps couples move forward. Thais shares practical frameworks for repairing after conflict, communicating needs more clearly, and rebuilding emotional safety in relationships, especially when old triggers and attachment patterns are getting activated. As you listen, I invite you to notice where you and your partner might be caught in the cycle, and what could shift if conflict became a doorway to understanding, growth, and repair instead of something to fear or avoid. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why the Myth That “Good Relationships Should Be Easy” Creates Conflict 03:12 The Stages of Love and How Relationships Change Over Time 05:33 The Power Struggle Stage in Relationships Explained 10:06 Why Triggers and Polarity Drive Relationship Power Struggles 16:21 The Anxious–Avoidant Relationship Cycle 17:40 Conflict and Repair Skills That Build Trust 29:36 Building Emotional Safety During Relationship Conflict 35:22 Communication Habits That Help Couples Move Forward If this conversation helped you recognize patterns in your relationship, especially around conflict, emotional safety, or feeling stuck in the power struggle stage, I want you to know you don't have to navigate this alone. As a gift to you, you're warmly invited to schedule a free consultation with me or a trusted member of my team at Growing Self. This is a private, secure conversation where you can share what's really been happening in your relationship and what you're hoping could feel different. You'll answer three quick questions so we can thoughtfully match you with the right counselor or coach, someone who understands the kinds of dynamics Thais and I talked about today and can help you move toward clarity, connection, and repair. It only takes a couple of minutes, and it's simply an opportunity to explore what support might look like for you. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self Special thanks to this month's sponsors of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast: Shopify — The all-in-one platform for building and growing your online business.

Love doesn't disappear - it changes. In this episode, John Kim explores the stages of love, from early fantasy to real connection. If you've ever questioned the spark, the shift, or the “middle” of a relationship, this will help you understand what's normal, what's real, and what's worth building. This is a conversation about choosing depth over fantasy - and learning what real love actually asks of us.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Rhonda Spratt. Founder of Bella Duvet Goes Pink, a Georgia‑based breast cancer awareness nonprofit inspired by her mother’s battle with metastatic breast cancer. Rhonda explains how her mother’s passing drove her to build a year‑round awareness and support organization specifically focused on ensuring women stay vigilant outside of October. She discusses early detection, the emotional and physical realities of breast cancer, the creation of her “Pink Box” care packages, her personal journey of healing, and how she balances nonprofit work with a full‑time commercial real estate career and active lifestyle.
Finally, an episode about Tucker Carlson—and at an auspicious time, as his influence on the right seems only to have grown in the first year of Trump's second term. To help us understand him, we turned to journalist Jason Zengerle, who first crossed paths with Tucker in the last, halcyon days of magazine journalism before cable news and the internet, and now has written Hated By All the Right People, a book that tells two intertwined stories: the life of Tucker Carlson, and the changes in the media that he's navigated so deftly (despite some low points along the way). This conversation takes you from his adolescence to his early fame writing for The Weekly Standard and Talk to his recent interview with Nick Fuentes, and all the phases and stages of Tucker's sad trajectory toward anti-semitism and conspiracy-mongering.Sources:Jason Zengerle, Hated By All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind (2026)Andrew Marantz, "The Tucker Carlson Roadshow," New Yorker, Nov 1, 2024...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Michael didn't grow up believing in ghosts.What he grew up with were moments that interrupted ordinary life — a sound that stopped conversations mid-sentence, a movement that made everyone in the room look up at the same time, a silence that felt deliberate rather than empty.As he moved from one home to another, he learned something unsettling: some places let strange things happen once and then go quiet, while others take their time.The house he spent most of his life in never rushed.Whatever was there didn't announce itself loudly or often. It appeared briefly, withdrew without explanation, and seemed content to be noticed rather than understood. Friends saw it. Family members heard it.
