Why Sherri Papini CAN'T STOP LYING - Psychologist EXPLAINS ALL! Sherri Papini pathological lying analysis reveals why some individuals become compulsive liars unable to control deceptive behaviors even after criminal conviction and imprisonment. Criminal psychology expert Shavaun Scott explains neurological aspects of pathological lying, dopamine addiction cycles in deception, and brain differences in chronic liars. This comprehensive true crime psychology examination explores why certain personality disorders make truthfulness nearly impossible for affected individuals. Mental health research reveals pathological liars' brains release dopamine during successful deception, creating addiction-like neurological cycles similar to substance abuse or gambling disorders. For individuals like Sherri Papini with severe personality disorders, lying transcends conscious choice to become compulsive behavior providing neurochemical rewards reinforcing continued deception. Each successful lie strengthens neural pathways making truthfulness increasingly difficult as false narratives become psychologically preferred reality. Criminal psychology analysis traces Papini's lying escalation from childhood through adulthood, demonstrating progressive pattern development in personality disorder cases. Early incidents included blaming family members for self-inflicted teenage injuries, fraudulent marriage for health insurance benefits, and countless smaller deceptions building toward elaborate kidnapping hoax. Expert psychological analysis shows how individuals with severe narcissistic traits lose ability to distinguish truth from fiction after constructing elaborate fantasy worlds protecting fragile egos from painful realities. True crime psychology examination reveals specific manipulation techniques Papini employs making lies believable - incorporating genuine emotions, utilizing partial truths, and exploiting sympathy responses. Her latest Investigation Discovery documentary claims demonstrate continued manipulation tactics despite exposure and imprisonment. Mental health experts explain how severe narcissistic personality disorder patients can convince themselves false narratives are truthful because accepting reality would catastrophically damage self-image. This psychological defense mechanism means traditional consequences like incarceration often fail breaking through personality disorder delusions, requiring specialized therapeutic intervention addressing underlying mental health conditions rather than surface behaviors. #PathologicalLiar #SherriPapini #CompulsiveLying #TrueCrimePsychology #CriminalPsychology #NeurologicalDisorders #DopamineAddiction #PersonalityDisorders #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #MentalHealthExpert #PsychologicalAnalysis #DeceptionPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Operation Manufacture Meatloaf We put up more food than needed last year, lessons from that Saturday Salad Prep Frugality Tip: Theme Park Savings From Margo Visiting a theme park or the like can end up costing an arm and a leg. You are allowed to bring snacks and one sealed bottle of water per person just about everywhere. I carry a backpack and snacks and bring a cold bottle of water. I also bring an empty thermal water bottle to transfer the cold water to, so it stays cold. Also carrying a reusable water containment device allows you to refill it at any water machine. In parks that have the freestyle machines that only works with a specific cup, the water will always come out even if you do not have the special expensive cup. So to save quite a few dollars, grab a backpack and some snacks and hit the parks. Happy Savings y'all Operation Independence What collections do you have of value that you no longer actually care about?

Main topic of the Show: Stop Lying To Yourself About Being Late Laws of Life Book: https://www.amazon.com/Laws-Life-Ditch-System-Design/dp/B0F54NNNTP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Confession - I am TERRIBLE with time awareness. Even though I am known as a time Nazi who keeps events on schedule. How can these two things happen together Why then, am I usually not only on time to things but a little early? Because I have been time hurt. It's that simple. Are you chronically behind? In the habit of sending texts to people that you are going to need another five minutes? Or fifteen? Do you constantly explain to people why you didn't make it on time? If so, then today is for you. Today might be hard to hear. But do you want to build success in your life? Then bear with me as we break this down. Eric's Meeting Story But the core issue is bigger. It is the GREAT LIE. “I'm late because my sheep got out and I had to chase them back in.” is MAYBE a reason, MAYBE true, but is not the whole picture is it? When you are willing to step back and see the whole picture, we often find that the reason something caused us to “be late” is less to do about the thing that happened and more to do with us. One of the most powerful words in the English language is NO. One of the things business owners need to learn to say most often is NO. In fact, if you are running your family schedule, or even still at a JOB, the word NO is how you start being on time more often. Why? Because NO is the way that you build time into your schedule to properly handle things, build in a travel buffer, have mostly interruption free meetings, and, generally, start being on time. Being on time to something means you have while heartedly said YES to it. You are aware it exists. You have made the time. And you have said NO to many other things to make it happen. So how do we change as a chronically late person? Why do you think I said no to every speaking engagement for dang near 8 months? Because I was going to disappoint people by saying yes then not showing up the way I needed to. In fact, I was already disappointing people when I realized what was happening last year. So I got good at NO. No is your number one relationship protection tool. And are you a people pleaser? You are? Yah I know that - it takes one to know one. We say yes to everything and think that no will hurt feelings. Know what hurts feelings more destructively over time? Being late. But if you are always late? That my friend is a symptom. It can be a sympton of great things, like growth. But it is also a sympton that warrents attention. Because if you are growing and you are always late, your next phase is complete burn out if you dont learn no. So go out there and show us you can do it. You can do the most important things and say no to the nonsense. Make it a great week! GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland pull back the curtain on disturbing issues in Horry County, South Carolina. Our team narrows focus to Weldon Boyd's troubling narrative, detailing how Boyd admittedly followed Scott Spivey before the fatal shooting. The hosts dissect the circumstances, questioning the application of "Stand Your Ground" given Weldon's decision to pursue Scott onto Camp Swamp Road. We'll also lob criticisms at the press, particularly local media in Horry County, for initial "basic" reporting and for not aggressively pursuing the story. And we'll touch on the lack of accountability for Horry County police leadership, challenges with FOIA redactions, and the political reluctance of state officials like the Governor to intervene. While the growing public outcry from Horry County residents demanding change offers a glimmer of hope, these circumstances paint a vivid picture of systemic failures, a lack of accountability, and the ongoing struggle for transparency and justice in Horry County. Knowing Horry County's heavy reliance on tourism dollars means these issues of safety and public trust have significant economic stakes. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References A warning for potential South Carolina tourists: You may not be safe “In Stores, Secret Surveillance Tracks Your Every Move” - The New York Times, from The Privacy Project Series “Why U.S. air traffic control is stretched so thin — and the fight to fix it” - CNBC, Updated May 10, 2025 “Your Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They're Not Keeping It Secret” - The New York Times, Dec. 10, 2018 Parts of a Springfield XDM Pistol “Letting retirees double-dip is the wrong way to keep SC teachers in the classroom” - The State, March 27, 2018 FBI as Primary Investigators of Civil Right Violations Horry County PD Facebook Post with Pamela Evette - May 9, 2025 “Are Agencies Required to Release Body-Worn Camera Footage” - Municipal Association of South Carolina Upcoming Events Michael Colucci re-trial set to begin on June 16th, 2025 Walking With Stephen event on July 12th Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

Stop Lying To Yourself We all do it, we all say things that are not quite true, and when we do, our unconscious mind listens in. And thereby hangs a problem because what you say about how you feel and how you really feel sets up conflicts and also might just get you what you don't want. Yes, I know I'm being ambiguous because you need to listen and hear this for it to make complete sense and get what you want.

In this episode, Kim sits down with Horace Gold, a multi-hyphenate artist and actor, for a long-overdue reminder: you don't need therapy; you need to stop lying. As a social experiment, Horace would like everyone to take a deep breath, tone down the “main character” theatrics, and recognize that you're not a victim—it's not about you. Kim and Horace share a mutual disdain for moral superiority and performative activism. For the record, you're not “cool” because you learned about the latest tragedy before everyone else. Their advice? Organize a town hall or STFU. From conservative roots to liberal new beginnings, Horace reflects on the perfect storm that freed him from a dark future as a MAGA boy. Kim's biggest takeaway? Believe it or not, everyone thinks they're on the right side of history.Follow Horace - IG & TIKTOKListen to Hardly Qualified Podcast - APPLE & SPOTIFYWatch Hardly Qualified Podcast - HERERead The "Triple Package" by Amy Chua - HERESubmit Your Confessions - HERELET'S BE FRIENDS...STEP 1 : Give us a 5-STAR reviewSTEP 2: Follow RLBG on Instagram - HERESTEP 3: Join the RLBG Community for access to exclusive events & LIVE girl talks - HERESTEP 4: Follow the International Pop Star "SlimKim" on TIKTOK & INSTAGRAM

Today's Question Mar: Why do we keep lying to ourselves? Why do we keep procrastinating on the goals and the dreams that we set to achieve, even though they matter so much to us, and we've really, really want this so bad, but we still don't get ourselves work and push through the discomfort and get out of the comfort zone and actually achieve that.

Listen To Episode 703 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions [02:50] Stop Lying to Yourself: The Root of Self-Sabotage Let's get to the question because it's a question from you, which I love your vulnerability. I love that you're actually sharing something that's human that you struggle with self-sabotage to and procrastination. Well, you said it, almost everybody struggles with this. And since we're in a new year and it's a new beginning, I think it's the best opportunity for us to actually look into this topic. So my question is: Why do we keep lying to ourselves? Why do we keep procrastinating on the goals and the dreams that we set to achieve, even though they matter so much to us, and we've really, really want this so bad, but we still don't get ourselves work and push through the discomfort and get out of the comfort zone and actually achieve that. It's so good. So thank you for being vulnerable and sharing what most people deal with, but they haven't developed the courage yet to say. Let's start with this. Let's start with a story because I love stories and it's how we learn. In 2014, I was deep in a pornography addiction. I hadn't experienced any plant medicine. I was really at a low point in my life. And in the span of 6 months, I broke up with a woman I thought I was gonna be with. I put my mom in a mental home and I got fired from a quote safe corporate job. Wow. It was like a reckoning for me. And I had been sitting on this idea of having a podcast for like 3 years. For 3 years, I was like, should I do it? Should I not do it? I was procrastinating. And here's why It wasn't until I got my ass kicked so hard self or by the universe that I was forced to look at the honesty of my life because of pain. I knew I didn't want what was around me anymore. I knew I didn't want the fruits of my life anymore, but I just simply did not know how to change. And let's be honest, I was procrastinating for 3 years, playing the safe route, because A, I didn't know really how to love myself. B, I wasn't surrounding myself with the kind of people that could actually fuel the productive side of me. And actually I was hanging out with people on the procrastination side of me. And then C, I didn't experience enough pain yet to really change from. Like I have to clear my throat because it's interesting. My throat chakra is getting blocked right now. It's because I'm reflecting on that time when I didn't trust myself to speak and express with authority and with conviction. I hadn't earned it yet. I hadn't earned the right to do what you and I are doing right now. And so for all of us that are dealing with procrastination, let my story be a starting place for you in whatever phase story that you're in. What is something in your life that every night when you put your head on the pillow, you know that you get to do differently yet you're not doing it? And how much torture and pain does that cause you on a daily basis? Because let's be real, Mar, we're not gonna change habits unless there's enough friction. I'm reading a book right now called Atomic Habits by James Clear. And he says that friction, the more friction that you have, the harder it is to do a behavior, the harder it is to change. So we actually need so much friction that it becomes so exhausting that we finally do the thing that's causing us the friction we've been resisting. In other words, the friction or pain has to be so high that we finally take an honest look at the story that we're creating that's making us not do the thing that we know we want to do. This struggle that I had was severe and it really didn't come from laziness. A lot of times procrastination can be laziness perceived, but what's deeper. Cause you know, on the podcast, we always explore like the cover emotion or what's being presented as the cover, the real story, the real stuff, the real beliefs are always much deeper. Procrastination isn't laziness. It's fear. It's fear in disguise. It's like perfectionism is like fear a jacket. Well, procrastination is like fear looking away. It's seeing what's possible for us And it's developing the courage or kowtowing to the cowardice that blocks us from achieving it, from doing it... [12:00] What Is Your Dream? What is your dream? How much work have you spent really crafting and cultivating the clarity on your dream? And then now that you have clarity on your dream, does it align with your core values? Do your core values mirror your dream? Then once you have that built, then you can start going to work on the behaviors. But until we get to the bottom of the bottom of the ocean inside of ourselves, core values, dream setting, and purpose, then nothing can really move forward from there. It's almost like a lead weight that pulls us back. Has anybody ever felt this? You know exactly the thing that you want, but potentially when you really feel into it, you either don't feel worthy of it, you feel like it'll be too hard, or you might have a narrative that comes up that says, well, who am I to do this? Who are you Mar to have this audacious dream? Who are you Josh to have a podcast and try to reach millions of people? Well, the difference between the result of the dream being real and the result of the dream being just a dream is inspired action. Inspired action is the winner of the game. But in order to be inspired, you have to have clarity on why you're doing it in the first place. So I wanted to say that because the punchline here is you mentioned it was about safety. And the safety that you're rubbing up against is that you might be judged. And it goes into some very ancient wiring too, right? Because in your brain and all of our brains, there's an amygdala, and that amygdala is actually wired for tribal connection. So it makes sense that by you having a dream of going to the gym, that that dream might be fought against by the projection of others potentially judging you. Am I on the right track? Like you might feel judged or it might feel unsafe or uncomfortable? Yeah. And now there's actually a new excuse that I made, which is I don't want to join the gym in January so that people think that I'm 1 of the resolution people who decided to join the gym in January. That's how crazy it is. All right, cool. So just noticing the stories that we make is really big. And it goes back to the clarity of and the word to use right now is actually identity. One of the courses that I'm building out in the curriculum for Liberated Life is called Wellness Identity. It's an identity that you show up as regardless of your thoughts or your external circumstances. And the thing that's really cool about identity is that we're all identifying as something, whether we know it or not. And so if I identify as a self-regulated, emotionally regulated, authentically expressing, abundance sharing man, because that's in alignment with my game, that actually Mar, you and I got clarity on, right? We got clarity on our game. And our game is actually our dream. It's the same thing... [21:00] Your Dream Is Far Greater Than Any Crisis Procrastination never comes in because you're so clear on your identity of who you are, what you stand for, and how you're being of service to the world that no one and no thing can get in your way. That's why in the studio, on the wall, I have the quote, my dream is far greater than any crisis, and above it is because it reminds me to nourish the 5 sides of me so that I can have this conviction around my purpose and dream and so that my identity feels real in my body so I can actually be it and live it and eat sleep and shit everything that my dream is (pardon my French) so that's the beautiful thing that you brought forth today is this consistent inspired action so this is what we do and this is the strategy for all of us. This is actually the most fun part. When we meet resistance, can we take a breath and just ask 1 question? Do I feel identified with this behavior or with this thing that I want to do in alignment with my dream? Do I feel identified with this thing I'm about to do or the thing safety is wanting me to sabotage? Can I look at this as an opportunity to reinforce or feed my identity with the clarity, dream, game, and vision that I know is real? And then just listen to what comes up. If you notice from the mind that there's a story running and it says you might be judged, you might be shamed, it might be uncomfortable, just say thank you. Hey, I appreciate, I appreciate you trying to protect me. That's cool. You've protected me for a long time. Thank you, protector. Get clear, usually through breath or through meditation or journaling, just something. Take a breath and ask. You can put your hands on your heart and you can say, is this something that an empowered feminine woman who shares her love and dreams with others does? Is this an embodiment? Is this something that an empowered, sharing of love and dream woman, feminine woman would do? And is this in alignment with my identity? If so, it should create lightness and it should create fullness and excitement in your nervous system. Where then when you go to the gym, you just quite simply won't give a fuck if people are judging you, it just won't fucking matter because you'll be so attached and so in alignment with your game your vision your purpose, and your identity that when you finally go and do the thing, it'll feel like you've come back home in a way. It'll feel like just this light, beautiful experience. And if it doesn't, that's fine too, because sometimes, sometimes we actually do the thing and then we get the power...
