Podcasts about Stigma

Stigma sesat dan label "berbeda" kerap membuat jemaah Ahmadiyah dijauhi, hidup dalam bayang-bayang intimidasi, hingga jadi korban kekerasan. Namun, tidak di Jatibening, Bekasi. Saya menemui sejumlah warga yang tinggal berdekatan dengan masjid Al Misbah Ahmadiyah. Masjid ini merupakan pusat aktivitas dan ibadah jemaah Ahmadiyah di wilayah Jatibening dan sekitarnya.  Meski mengakui adanya perbedaan, warga tak merasa itu jadi ancaman atas keyakinan mereka. Dari Bekasi kita belajar bagaimana seharusnya perbedaan disikapi dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Kamu mendengarkan SAGA KBREditorial: Wahyu Setiawan, Ninik, MalikaSound Designer: Bintang Elian

Send a textThe weight loss industry has convinced us that being fat is a personal failure—a consequence of eating too much and moving too little. But the truth is far more complex and liberating. Your weight is controlled by genetics, epigenetics, environmental factors, trauma, chronic stress, and systems of oppression that were intentionally designed to control marginalized bodies. In this episode, I break down the scientific evidence showing why the "calories in, calories out" narrative is a lie, explore how everything from urbanization to discrimination drives weight gain through cortisol, and reveal how this cycle of blame was always rooted in anti-Black racism, capitalism, and misogyny. It's time to shift responsibility from individuals to the systems and institutions whose literal job it is to address these conditions—because you didn't break this, and you shouldn't have to fix it.Got a question for the next podcast?

Edmonton's McCauley neighbourhood has a PR problem. The inner city community is home to Commonwealth Stadium, the Italian Centre and Chinatown. But it also has a disproportionate number of resources for the homeless community. But residents believe in their neighbourhood. Perhaps none more than Teresa Spinelli. Host Clare Bonnyman joins Spinelli for a talk about the work the community is doing, to make McCauley better and the lessons the rest of the city can learn from them.

The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community is made up of various ethnicities, languages, and translation needs, requiring different and individualized advocacy and policy discussions-- particularly when that policy relates to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. Christina Baal-Owens, Executive Director of the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF) sits down to talk with us about recent research performed by NAPAWF showing the most pervasive barriers to abortion access for the AAPI community and AAPI immigrants in the U.S. Stigma, cultural differences, language and translation, and healthcare deserts prevent AAPI immigrants from accessing necessary services, such as abortion. Additional clinics and health centers, improved language accessibility, and expanded access to health insurance (regardless of immigration status) are all options for lowering barriers to this care. It is important to remember that ICE activity impacts AAPI communities, too. ICE's presence negatively affects the realization of reproductive justice; many might be fearful to access services outside their homes, many might worry about their naturalization process, or others may be stymied by criminalization and stigma.For more information, check out Future Hindsight: https://www.futurehindsight.com/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Im brutkasten-Video-Talk diskutieren Ärztin und Adipositastrainerin Bianca Itariu, SVS-Generaldirektor Alexander Biach, Mario Haller, CEO von Eli Lilly and Company Österreich, und der Physiker Werner Gruber über die Volkskrankheit Adipositas. Dabei steht im Zentrum, warum starkes Übergewicht nicht bloß auf mangelnde Disziplin zurückzuführen ist, sondern eine chronische, neurobiologische Erkrankung ist und weshalb herkömmliche Diäten ab einem gewissen Punkt oft wirkungslos bleiben. Die Expert:innenrunde beleuchtet zudem die gesellschaftliche Stigmatisierung Betroffener und die medizinische Einordnung jenseits des reinen Body Mass Index (BMI).Neben den medizinischen Hintergründen thematisiert das Gespräch die enormen volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten durch Krankenstände und Folgeerkrankungen sowie die Debatte um Prävention versus akute Therapie. Es wird erörtert, welche Rolle Innovationen wie neue Medikamente oder Operationen spielen und wo das österreichische Gesundheitssystem bei der Erstattung und Versorgung aktuell an seine Grenzen stößt. Zudem wird behandelt, wie digitale Lösungen und ein Schulterschluss zwischen Wirtschaft und Medizin die Situation verbessern könnten.#sponsored

In this episode, Dr. Daniel Binus and Dr. K'dee Crews explore how to make friends with your emotions—showing why all feelings, even anxiety, anger, and sadness, have a purpose. They reveal how emotions communicate and motivate, how thoughts fuel them, and how a simple two-question tool can turn emotions into powerful allies for mental health.—

Dan Valkos is a provocative psychic and paranormal personality often referred to as Canada's Psychotic Psychic, a title that reflects both his controversial reputation and his willingness to confront taboo aspects of psychic phenomena. Valkos explores psychic perception, altered states of consciousness, spirit communication, and the darker edges of intuitive experience—challenging sanitized or commercialized portrayals of psychic ability. His work raises difficult questions about mental health, perception, stigma, and the fine line between extraordinary experience and social labeling, sparking debate within both paranormal and skeptical communities.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This week on Saturday Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we tackle a deeply overlooked and often misunderstood issue: men experiencing spousal and other forms of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. In the studio are Nick Jonsson, men’s certified coach, supervised psychotherapist and counsellor, and Zina de Mercey, psychologist‑in‑training at Counseling Perspective. Nick and Zina explain why many men—especially those in senior or public‑facing roles—suffer in silence. Stigma, shame, and fear of reputational damage often prevent them from seeking help. Many worry they will be seen as the perpetrator rather than the victim, or that speaking up could jeopardise their careers, credibility, or even access to their children. They also highlight the emotional toll behind closed doors: isolation, high‑functioning distress, and post‑Covid coping behaviours such as increased alcohol use. In highly conflicted relationships, children are often caught in the middle, sometimes used—consciously or not—as leverage, creating unsafe family dynamics. Zina brings a holistic therapeutic lens, while Nick draws on years of supporting executives and leading men’s groups in Singapore. Together, they discuss why early intervention, peer support, and psychologically safe spaces are essential for prevention and healing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Madeline is back to finish up our conversation from last week, and to jump into some new topics. We talk about how education works in neoliberalism, the returning appreciation of learning for learning's sake, objectification in sex work and how feminist can think about navigating that sexwork landscape ethically, cocaine and why it's so hard to get good blow when you're young, the increasing popularity of completely selling out, the way capitalism objectifies nearly everyone who works for a corporation, and lots more, including cocaine injection, MDMA and other drugs. Support the show

Wendy Dossett tells Adam Levy why the stigma of having an alcohol dependence in academia can be a huge barrier to seeking help. “We're supposed to be the brightest and the best, moving the frontiers of knowledge forward,” says Dossett, who has been in recovery for 20 years. “We're not supposed to be struggling with cognitive issues, mental health problems, damaging ourselves in the way that somebody with an alcohol addiction is doing.” Dossett, now an emeritus professor of religious studies at the University of Chester, UK, says that as an early career researcher she saw alcohol as the fuel to her academic life, driving her creativity and making the social elements of academic life easier to navigate. When, in her 30s, a colleague suggested she might need help, Dosett says she felt a “mixture of horror and absolute gratitude that somebody had the courage and care for me.” She went on to research the spiritual elements of recovery from addiction, which she says is less talked about in academia than, say, depression and anxiety. Victoria Burns, a social work scholar at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, founded Recovery on Campus Alberta after telling her Dean that she had an alcohol dependence. He told her she was the first academic to disclose in his 26-year career, prompting her to research other Deans' experiences of faculty disclosing addiction and recovery. This is the fifth episode of Off Limits, a podcast series exploring topics that are often perceived as taboo in the workplace, including religion, bereavement, activism and sizeism. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes Dr. Lauren Hartman, adolescent medicine physician and author of Freeing Children and Young Adults from Shame, Scales, and Stigma. Dr. Hartman dives deep into how diet culture, weight stigma, and even well‑meaning doctors can unintentionally harm kids and teens. She explains how a simple directive like "you need to lose weight" can trigger restrictive eating, eating disorders, and lifelong shame—especially in vulnerable young people. Dr. Hartman offers practical scripts parents can use with doctors, family members, and their own kids to create weight‑inclusive, shame‑free conversations. She talks about setting boundaries with relatives ("in our home, we don't talk about bodies or calories") and focusing on joyful movement, variety in foods, and true health—defined not by size, but by energy, rest, connection, and joy. The conversation also tackles the explosion of GLP‑1 medications like Ozempic, especially in children and teens. Dr. Hartman raises concerns about aggressive marketing, lack of long‑term data, and the message these drugs send about body size diversity. She stresses media literacy, helping kids question influencers, edited images, and sponsored "wellness" content disguised as health advice. In the final segment, Jed chats with author Bate Ilondior, who created the picture book "Joshua's Days of the Week" to support her son's receptive and expressive speech delay. Her personalized, kid-centered stories highlight the powerful link between reading with your kids, language growth, and confidence.

If you've ever left a medical appointment feeling dismissed, judged, or like your body size became the diagnosis... then this episode is for you — and honestly, for your doctor too. In today's episode, we're talking about the very real stigma larger-bodied people face in health care settings—and how often weight bias gets in the way of actual care. We're joined by you, our listeners, through powerful voicemails sharing both painful and healing experiences with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. From being told to “just lose weight” to finally being listened to and taken seriously, these stories highlight what's broken, what's possible, and the power of weight inclusive care.Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

Send us a textIn 1992, a room full of weight loss experts admitted diets don't work and that weight regain is almost inevitable within five years. Then they recommended diets anyway. Fast forward to 2025, and the UK's NICE guidelines acknowledge weight cycling causes harm, that the evidence is overwhelmingly poor quality, and that people will likely regain the weight. Yet they still recommend 800-calorie diets, even for people with eating disorders. In this episode, I expose how medical guidelines have become a masterclass in institutional lying—where committees acknowledge the evidence shows diets fail, cause harm, and offer no long-term benefit, yet recommend them regardless. Because the industry's already doing it, the government's already funding it, and admitting the truth would be too expensive. This isn't medicine. This is willful harm dressed up in clinical language, and the people writing these guidelines need to be held accountable. Got a question for the next podcast? Let me know!

Fatal overdoses are rising among adults 45 and older and stigma often keeps this age group out of the conversation. In this episode, Dr. Philip Chan, Consultant Medical Director at the Rhode Island Department of Health and a practicing primary care physician, discusses Rhode Island's No Matter Why You Use campaign. Dr. Chan explains why middle-aged and older adults face elevated overdose risk, how isolation, medical prescribing, and a contaminated drug supply intersect, and why personal storytelling is key to reducing stigma about accessing care. The conversation also highlights Rhode Island's overdose prevention strategies—from widespread naloxone access to community partnerships—and shares lessons other states can apply to save lives and start conversations sooner.Webinar Registration - ZoomOverdose Prevention | ASTHO

Send us a textIn 1995, the WHO published a report stating clearly: "There are no clearly established cutoff points for fat mass or fat percentage that can be translated into cut-offs for BMI." Just three short years later, they published a completely different report calling ob*sity a "disease". Not just a disease, but a "rapidly growing threat" and a "global epidemic" that needed managing. What changed? Professor Philip James established the International Ob*sity Task Force—funded by the pharmaceutical industry—specifically to persuade the WHO to create ob*sity policy. When asked how he determined BMI cut-offs of 25, 30, and 40, Professor James admitted it "just seemed to fit"—a "reasonable, pragmatic cut-off." In this episode, I prove that being fat doesn't meet the definition of a disease: there's no impaired function, no characteristic symptoms, no causative agent. But calling it a disease created a market worth billions for weight loss companies, drug manufacturers, and bariatric surgeons. You're not the one who benefits from being diagnosed with ob*sity—they are. Got a question for the next podcast? Let me know!

In this episode, Chuck Thuss sits down with Anthony Dyer for an honest, deeply human conversation about military service, accumulated trauma, identity loss, addiction, and the long road to healing. Anthony shares his 21-year career in the United States Air Force, including high-risk missions, elite rescue operations, and the emotional weight that followed him home long after the uniform came off. From the quiet moments that haunt servicemen and women to the stigma around asking for help, Anthony opens up about how suppressed trauma and alcohol nearly cost him everything. What followed was a turning point shaped by accountability, faith, community, and the courage to finally take a knee and heal. This episode is a reminder that healing is not weakness, identity can be rebuilt, and no matter how dark the night gets, you are never out of the fight.

In this episode, Dr. Daniel Binus and Amanda Anguish unpack fear—what it really is, why we feel it, and how to face it in healthy ways. They explore the brain's response to fear, fear conditioning, and practical tools like grounding, reframing, and gradual exposure therapy. Together, they reveal how love, trust, and truth can help us move from fear-driven living to peace-filled confidence.—

We all carry invisible stories about what it means to be a “good person,” a “hard worker,” or someone who has truly earned what they have. But what happens when we meet someone who doesn't fit those stories? Someone living on disability income, or needing more support than we think they should?This week, we explore the quiet judgments and discomfort that can arise when we encounter difference. We look at how domination culture trains us to equate worth with productivity, independence with virtue, and need with failure, and how shame and stigma keep us disconnected from our shared humanity.This conversation invites a gentler, more honest inquiry into what judgment is protecting, and how we can stay connected without defensiveness, superiority, or pity. As we widen the lens, we also question the systems themselves: What if the problem isn't the individual who needs help, but the structures that withhold care?A reflective exploration of judgment, dignity, and interdependence and an invitation to imagine human-centered systems rooted in empathy, cooperation, and the meeting of real human needs.Want to read more?

In episode 519 of the podcast I'm joined by astrologer Reverend Lindsay Turner to discuss the story of the Magi, the birth of Jesus, and the astrology surrounding the Nativity story. We explore the celebration of Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day, and analyze the Gospel of Matthew's account of the astrologers from the East who followed a star to Bethlehem. We discuss the distinction between approaching the Nativity as a historical event versus a literary narrative, and how the author of Matthew partially used the story of the Magi to legitimize Jesus as a king in the 1st century. We also look at technical astrological terms found in the Greek text, such as anatole or "at its rising," and how this relates to Hellenistic astrology. We also talk about the relationship between early Christianity and astrology, including the non-canonical Acts of Paul and Thecla, the liturgical seasons aligning with the Zodiac, and how modern Christians can reconcile their faith with astrological practice.

Send us a textWe've been told our entire lives that there's such a thing as a "healthy weight" - but the foundations of this belief are built on quicksand. In this episode, I trace the shocking history of how weight categories were created, exposing the corrupt origins of BMI and "ideal weight" tables invented by life insurance companies to maximize profits. I reveal how Louis Dublin, an employee of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company who literally wrote a book called "The Money Value of a Man," created arbitrary weight standards that had no basis in reality - and how these numbers kept dropping with no scientific justification.What would life be like if Dublin had got decided that "abnormally tall" people needed to shrink to be healthy? I use this thought experiment to demonstrate the absurdity of medicalizing body size, especially since we've no evidence that “excess weight” causes illness or that intentional weight loss improves health outcomes.Got a question for the next podcast?

In this episode of Leaders of Today, Teens to Titans, Lorraine sits down with Leah Rothchild to talk about the hidden reality of teen depression, substance use, and what it actually takes to heal. Leah shares how she went from being a joyful, high-achieving kid to silently struggling with depression, self-harm, and addiction, all while still “looking fine” on the outside. Leah breaks down why substance use is not always obvious, how stigma and shame keep people from getting help, and why mental health care must be integrated into everyday pediatric care. She also shares what ultimately changed her path, what teens and parents need most, and why hope can still exist even when it feels like it doesn't. In This Episode, You'll Hear What Leah was like as a child and how her mental health shifted around age 10 Why depression can show up even when life looks “perfect” from the outside How guilt and shame can fuel substance use and keep the cycle going The misconception that addiction is always obvious or immediately “destroys” someone's life The difference between feeling hopeless and being hopeless Why stigma is dangerous, even inside healthcare settings How Leah's lived experience shaped her path toward pediatric and psychiatric care What parents can do to support teens without judgment, fear, or shame Key Takeaway Feeling completely hopeless is different than being completely hopeless. If you do not get help the first time you ask, ask again. The right support exists, and it can change everything. How to Connect Leah Rothchild Email: rothchild.leah@gmail.com

Message us here!How do you turn a haunting true story about family mental illness into a national conversation about stigma? This is the third and final episode of the series diving into the movie "Rosemead," a moving true story about how a Chinese immigrant mother (played by Lucy Liu) faces schizophrenia, stigma, and the fear of becoming a burden. In this episode, director Eric Lin shares how he was able to create such a honest, complex portrait of mental illness in a marginalized family.Eric opens up about seeing his own family dynamics reflected in the script: the pressure to appear strong, the instinct to hide hard truths, and the painful isolation that grows when a community doesn't have the language or resources to help. We go behind the camera to explore how the team built an honest, human portrayal of psychosis. Eric drew from first-person accounts and documentaries to shape psychotic episodes that feel present yet accessible. That craft choice keeps Joe grounded in our empathy rather than lost in stereotype. We also confront the delicate thread tying public fear of mass shootings to mental illness, and why the film refuses sensational shortcuts while acknowledging a parent's very real terror.The finale gets the care it deserves: Lucy Liu's performance arrives in a single, shattering take for the devastating ending. The result is not shock for its own sake, but a moment that honors love, loss, and the cost of silence. If you care about mental health, immigrant family dynamics, or the ethics of portraying schizophrenia on screen, you'll find a lot to resonate with. Go see "Rosemead" in theaters so you don't miss being part of the conversation.Resources:Rosemead on IG: @rosemeadfilmErin Lin on IG: @holdtheframeSupport the showIf you're navigating someone's mental health or emotional issues, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

Send us a textAfter years of research and three false starts, I've finally finished the first draft of my book, No Weigh. This season, I'm pulling back the curtain on what I discovered during years of research—how medical weight science is built on claims rather than evidence, how weight stigma and weight cycling cause the very health problems blamed on fat bodies, and how this entire system was designed intentionally to profit from our shame. In this episode, I share the four-part structure of the book and invite you into the messy, honest process of writing something that challenges everything we've been told about weight and health. Got a question for the next podcast?

Across the country, more men and boys are feeling disconnected and hopeless in society right now. The stigma around mental health among men is a dangerous trend and can lead to some serious consequences. Last week, a Utah symposium brought together experts to tackle this growing crisis. We bring on Lois Collins, Deseret News, to discuss what she learned and how we can help men break this stigma. We also highlight the "I Love You Bro" project, a mental health and suicide prevention group for men, founded by Joe Tuia'ana. He joins the show to discuss the project and how he's opening up the conversation around men's mental health.

In this episode, Dr. K'dee Crews and Amanda Anguish unpack the core belief “I'm not good enough.” They explore how identity (“I am”), moving targets of “enough,” perfectionism/procrastination, comparison, and others' opinions shape worth—and how to rebuild it on a steadier foundation with practical steps you can start today.—

An eye-opening look at how all American workers, even the highly educated and experienced, are vulnerable to the stigma of unemployment. After receiving a PhD in mathematics from MIT, Larry spent three decades working at prestigious companies in the tech industry. Initially he was not worried when he lost his job as part of a large layoff, but the prolonged unemployment that followed decimated his finances and nearly ended his marriage. Larry's story is not an anomaly. The majority of American workers experience unemployment, and millions get trapped in devastating long-term unemployment, including experienced workers with advanced degrees from top universities. How is it possible for even highly successful careers to suddenly go off the rails? In The Stigma Trap: College-Educated, Experienced, and Long-Term Unemployed (Oxford UP, 2024), Ofer Sharone explains how the stigma of unemployment can render past educational and professional achievements irrelevant, and how it leaves all American workers vulnerable to becoming trapped in unemployment. Drawing on interviews with unemployed workers, job recruiters, and career coaches, Sharone brings to light the subtle ways that stigmatization prevents even the most educated and experienced workers from gaining middle-class jobs. Stigma also means that an American worker risks more than financial calamity from a protracted period of unemployment. One's closest relationships and sense of self are also on the line. Eye-opening and clearly written, The Stigma Trap is essential reading for anyone who has experienced unemployment, has a family member or friend who is unemployed, or who wants to understand the forces that underlie the anxiety-filled lives of contemporary American workers. The book offers a unique approach to supporting unemployed jobseekers. At a broader level it exposes the precarious condition of American workers and sparks a conversation about much-needed policies to assure that we are not all one layoff away from being trapped by stigma.

Anthony Page grew up in West Virginia and was raised by his grandparents before getting involved in selling drugs, a path that eventually led to federal charges. In this episode, Anthony breaks down how the feds caught him, what it was like being sentenced, and serving five years in a Kentucky federal prison camp. He shares real insight into federal prison life in the 1990s, the mental shift that prison forced on him, and how that experience changed his outlook for good. After completing his sentence, Anthony rebuilt his life, stayed out of trouble, and today runs a merchandise company created to support and represent formerly incarcerated people, proving that you don't have to go back to prison to move forward. _____________________________________________ #FederalPrison #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #LifeAfterPrison #RedemptionStory #KentuckyPrison #90sPrison _____________________________________________ Connect with Anthony Page: Buy his merch: https://www.8at208.com/ AirBnB: https://thepalaceoncharles.com/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Arrested: The Bust That Changed Everything 07:45 Raised by Grandparents & Meeting My Father 14:10 Teen Years, High School & Bad Decisions 18:10 Drugs, Crime & the 1990s Street Life 23:00 On the Run: Getting Caught & Arrested 29:00 Facing Trial & Federal Prison Sentencing 32:40 Inside Federal Prison: First Days & Survival 36:00 Prison Camp Life: Sports, Hustles & Commissary 44:20 Prison Food, Jobs & Contraband Culture 50:00 Getting Released: Halfway House & Reentry 53:40 Life After Prison: Kids, Stigma & Reality 57:00 Turning My Life Around: Building Felony Certified 01:03:00 Lessons Learned & Advice for the Next Generation 01:04:50 Final Thoughts, Gratitude & Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.
