Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ Chronic pain isn't just about injury, it's a whole-body experience shaped by your brain, nervous system, and unresolved trauma. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by Matt Bush, educator and founder of Next Level Neuro, to unpack the neuroscience of pain. Together, they explore how chronic pain is often a protective output from a dysregulated nervous system, not a sign of damage, but of danger. Through stories, science, and powerful reframes, you'll learn why pain persists even when tissue damage has healed, and how complex trauma and emotional suppression play a major role. The conversation covers neurotags, interoception, perfectionism, dissociation, and the tools needed to rewire the brain's pain pathways — offering hope for those living in pain and practitioners looking for deeper healing frameworks. This is a must-watch for anyone who experiences chronic pain, works with trauma, or wants to understand the body's hidden survival strategies. Topics discussed in this episode: Why chronic pain is an output, not just a symptom The neuroscience of pain: neurotags, predictions, and protection How trauma wires the brain for pain Why people with high ACE scores are more likely to develop chronic pain The link between dissociation, perfectionism, and pain Emotional repression as a driver of chronic pain What interoception tells us about the pain loop Central sensitization and why the brain gets “louder” over time The connection between complex PTSD and somatic symptoms Why emotional expression is key to nervous system healing How somatic work, movement, and neuro tools can rewire pain pathways Why chronic pain relief is possible — but multifactorial

Sophie Flack Take a walk me down Fascination Street Podcast, as I get to know Sophie Flack. I was first introduced to Sophie as a result of a conversation with previous guest Yul Vazquez. Sophie is a former member of The Corp De Ballet with The New York City Ballet. After she retired from that, she got a degree from Columbia University, and then wrote a best-selling Young Adult novel called Bunheads, which explores the intricacies and heartaches of the life of a professional ballerina. Sophie has written for multiple magazines and publications about her experiences and has helped shine a light on some of the ways that these dancers are treated. Fairly recently, Sophie started a jewelry company which focuses on pieces that help de-stigmatize mental health and eating disorders. Her company is called MAD FINE, and some of the pieces include 'in the know' references to: Zanex, Klonopin, Prozac, and the abortion pill. She has pieces that align with emotional baggage, and even silly trophies. All of these pieces are designed to bring these issues to light and for the wearer to engage in conversations with like-minded individuals. These pieces are stunning, and unique. My personal favorite is the mixed metals cassette tape! Sophie is very vulnerable in this conversation. She openly discusses her previous battles with anorexia, self-doubt, and thoughts of suicide. Check out her jewelry, read her book, heck, just reach out and tell her you enjoyed her candor.
July 20th: Steven and Katie Pladl Married (2017) Some crimes are set off by bizarre circumstances. Triggered by events that are devastating, hard to swallow, or difficult to believe. On July 20th's 2017 a couple were married. A couple who never should have been together in the first place and whose union triggered a ripple effect that would cost 3 innocent people their lives. *Suggested by Cortney* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pladl_triple_murder_and_suicide, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steven-pladl-katie-pladl-murder-incest-case-details-emerge/, https://www.eonline.com/news/1372566/a-father-daughter-incest-case-that-ended-in-murder-the-haunting-story-of-katie-pladl, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/sick-father-married-biological-daughter-31961827, https://medium.com/@TalesFromTheCabin/the-father-who-married-his-daughter-and-then-murdered-her-7e7faf01b684 Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network. Tonight we grabbed a few questions from facebook to cover. Shoulder bump question. Standard procedure, take a fired case and measure it with a headspace gauge, reset calipers to zero and resize case to get your correct bump e.g. -.002. set your die and start cranking. Here is my point, that was one case out of 100, let's say that was the longest or shortest case, which could and will distort the bump for the other cases. I measured a sample of 30 cases and there was an es .0065 with the average, median and mode coming in at 1.535 (6mm creedmoor case) Is that .0065 spread something we just live with or do we need to measure a sample batch before bumping the shoulder back? Appreciate hearing what others do. Thank you Guy Is there a specific temperature your barrel heats to while shooting that it starts affecting accuracy? Jerry Woodman's question... "I have a Henry 44 mag, can't get a Keith style bullet to chamber. Kind of leery about seating any deeper, any suggestions?

Send us a textIn this episode, co-hosts Susan Hookong-Taylor and Fr. Stan Chu Ilo offer a soul-stirring conversation on one of humanity's most enduring needs: hope. At a time when many are overwhelmed by loss, injustice, and uncertainty, they explore where hope is found, how it survives failure, grief, and disappointment, and why faith remains a powerful force for transformation.This is a message not just for Africans and the global Black community, but for anyone yearning for light in dark times. As Susan and Stan reflect on the importance of resilience, rootedness in community, and the quiet strength of spiritual conviction, VoiceAfrique becomes more than a podcast—it becomes a healing space for all who believe that, even in the face of suffering, something beautiful is still possible.Hope is not a naïve wish. It's a radical act. And faith makes it real.
Nothing leaves more devastation and heartache in its wake than does suicide. As such, it is an utter delight to Satan every time another image bearer of God takes his life. But can a real Christian do such a thing? And if so, how can such a horrible thing come to pass? And most of all, where is God in all of this? Christians must turn to the light of God's word that we not be led astray when considering this horrible topic. Keith Pond walks us through these waters this morning.

In this deeply personal second part, Kaylee Nishizawa opens up about how her grief became a mission—and how the loss of her younger brother, Liam Nishizawa, led to the birth of something far bigger than she ever imagined. Video version of this eps: https://youtu.be/ohcPNAenLgwWhat began as a tribute… …became a movement to make sure Liam's name, light, and story would never be forgotten—and to ensure no one else would feel alone in their darkness. After Liam's passing by suicide at age 15, Kaylee—still recovering from a life-altering car accident and navigating her own mental health journey—began designing a tribute clothing line in his honour. But in a breathtaking twist of fate, she discovered that Liam had quietly been working on his own mental health brand in the final three weeks of his life, alongside his best friend Clarice.They had named it: LowKure. A symbol of pain and healing, “LowKure” represented the lows we all face—insecurities, struggles, mental health battles—and the journey to find light again. Liam had even swapped the “C” for a “K” because he thought it looked cooler. And unknowingly, these initials—LK—would later come to stand for something even deeper: Liam & Kaylee. The beautiful realization of the meaning behind “LK,” caught on camera during this episode, became a beacon of purpose for Kaylee—a moment of divine clarity that this was what she was meant to do. That this movement was already forming—and she was here to carry it forward. From that moment, she dove fully into building a greater mission in Liam's name—a vision she's been dedicated to over the last five months since this podcast was filmed. What began as a sister's tribute became a shared vision. A brand was reborn—infused with deeper purpose, legacy, and love. Today, LowKure by Liam has grown into LowKure for You—a nonprofit initiative dedicated to: • Suicide prevention and mental health support • Accessible mental health education and identity resources • Symbolic fashion that invites meaningful conversation • Community events and partnerships that create safe spaces for healing This episode captures the heart of the movement. Since then, Kaylee has expanded Liam's original drawings into symbolic logos—each one representing a different chapter of the human journey: grief, healing, courage, and growth. Through LowKure's free digital resource hub and upcoming community events launching across Canada, Kaylee continues to fulfill the promise she made at her brother's funeral: to keep Liam's light shining. Every piece in LowKure carries a message:“Your story matters. You are not alone. We see you.” Join the mission: www.lowkure.myshopify.com (http://www.lowkure.myshopify.com/) https://www.youtube.com/@LowKure https://www.instagram.com/lowkure_by_liam/?igsh=MXJvM3lyYWFlOHA3NQ%3D%3D#LowKure is looking for likeminded business and individuals to help move this mission forward. If you or your business would like to support our nonprofit through donations, sponsorships, community partnerships, or co-hosted events, please contact Kaylee through the Support Our Mission page.
She was known around the world for her extreme plastic surgeries and headline-grabbing persona—but Lolo Ferrari was far more complex than the tabloid caricature she became. Born Eve Valois, she rose from a troubled childhood in France to international fame as an adult performer, singer, and TV personality. Behind the exaggerated image and surreal stardom, however, was a woman struggling with deep emotional pain, manipulation, and exploitation. In this episode, we dive into the tragic and fascinating life of Lolo Ferrari—how a quest for identity and love turned into a public spectacle, the controlling influence of her husband and manager, and the mystery surrounding her untimely death. Was she a victim of fame, or did she reclaim her power in her own extreme way? Join us as we unravel the story behind the silicone, the scandal, and the sorrow.

Michael Franzese, the former Colombo crime family capo who once served time in the same cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, told NewsNation that physically, it would have been “impossible” for Epstein to hang himself in that space. Franzese emphasized the lack of structural elements such as ceiling fixtures or a high bed to facilitate hanging—elements he believes were necessary but absent in that cellHe also expressed deep skepticism about the reported missteps of jail staff and malfunctioning cameras that night. Drawing from his own prison experience, where guard watches were rigorous and surveillance unbroken, Franzese said he “just can't buy” the idea that corrections officers slept through checks or that cameras conveniently failed—all details that form the backbone of the official suicide narrative. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Suicide in Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell is 'impossible,' says mobster

Sociocide is a chilling word. Coined by the Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung, it means the deliberate destruction of a society's social infrastructure and capacity to function as a cohesive unit. According to Boston College sociologist Charles Derber, this kind of social suicide is now destroying America. In his latest book, Bonfire, Derber argues that America is slipping and sliding into a sociocide of broken social and political relations. Drawing on decades of research, Derber connects rising isolation—people eating alone, losing friends, living in "civic deserts"—to the rise of authoritarianism. When social bonds collapse, he warns, isolated individuals become vulnerable to strongman leaders who exploit their fear and loneliness.1. Sociocide is Social Suicide at the Societal Level"We're kind of breaking apart into individual atomized individuals who have no sense of real enduring connection with each other... When societies commit suicide, unravel, it breaks down the possibility of sort of a normal, humane community and life and opens the door to what we're facing today, which is an authoritarian sort of dictatorial kind of leader."2. Americans Are Becoming Dangerously Isolated"More and more people are eating all their meals alone. I've seen data that has up to 68% of people say they eat most of their meals alone. The numbers of people who claim to have close friends, the numbers of who get married or stay married. The number of people who feel connected at their workplace to other workers or to their employers is all on a downward path."3. Isolation Creates the Perfect Conditions for Authoritarianism"Hannah Arendt, de Tocqueville, many great thinkers have recognized that isolation and atomization is a foundation for authoritarianism and strong labor who capitalize on the fear and disconnection. When people are isolated, they look to strong leaders who will protect them."4. Trump Voters Aren't Choosing Death—They're Choosing Survival"The people with the lowest integration into society have the lowest relationships, eat more alone, have fewer friends. The Trump base is, at least according to the data that I've been able to collect, is the part of America most characterized by sociocide... They're scared economically, most of them say they're one paycheck away from poverty."5. The Solution Requires Coming Together in Sustained Ways"The answer to social side is coming together... People have to persevere in public protest together. I mean, you have to come together... I think it's only by trying to build in every phase of your life these connections that give you a sense of hope and caring and possibility." This is a public episode.

Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ What if perfectionism isn't ambition, but a nervous system reflex for survival? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by returning guest Piper Rose of ShadowPlay Coaching to explore perfectionism and rejection sensitivity through a neuroscience and trauma-informed lens. We reframe perfectionism as a high-cost survival strategy rooted in complex trauma, societal conditioning, and early nervous system adaptations. Together, Elisabeth Kristof, Jennifer Wallace, and Piper unpack how perfectionistic behaviors can emerge as reflexive responses to rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), relational trauma, and the need for social safety. You'll learn the neurobiology of rejection, the health costs of chronic perfectionism, and how to shift from performance and people-pleasing into embodied wholeness. The episode offers practical tools and empowering frameworks for understanding the somatic roots of perfectionism and reclaiming your internal safety and authenticity. This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone who's ever felt like they had to earn love, approval, or belonging through being “perfect.” Topics discussed in this episode: Why perfectionism is a survival response, not a personality trait How rejection sensitivity forms in the nervous system The difference between perfectionism and growth-oriented excellence Why our brains respond to social rejection like physical pain The “garden” metaphor for complex trauma and coping How societal systems reinforce performance-based self-worth Chronic illness and the cost of emotional suppression The link between self-sacrifice and autoimmune conditions Why the nervous system must be regulated before healing perfectionism How somatic work shifts self-rejection into self-acceptance The paradox of people-pleasing and codependency Reclaiming energy and creativity from high-resource coping mechanisms Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ To learn more about Piper Rose and Shadow Play coaching, head to https://piperrosecoaching.com/ Connect with Piper on Instagram by heading to https://www.instagram.com/shadowplaycoaching/ Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

When Dr. Beverly J. Armento was 23, in her first year of teaching, and after 17 years of physical and emotional abuse, she was at her darkest hour and considered suicide. She struggled through the night, listening to the voices in her head and hearing what former teachers and students were arguing with her about the pros and cons of that choice. By dawn, she came out on the other side of hopeless toward home. She had clarity on her purpose in life with the drive to live free from the fear and trauma in her current state. Dr. Beverly J. Armento, professor, educator, author, speaker, and advocate, was responsible for her blind, artistic, and mentally ill mother. To people around her, she seemed to excel at school and in the world, but inside, Beverly was cowed by her mother's rage and delusions. In her interview, she tells the story of twenty years struggling to survive the trauma and the next twenty years of how she found hope to survive through the hidden pain. INTERVIEW As the “Seeing Eye Girl” for her blind, artistic, and mentally ill mother, Beverly Armento was intimately connected with and responsible for her, even though her mother physically and emotionally abused her. She was Strong Beverly at school—excellent in academics and mentored by caring teachers—but at home, she was Weak Beverly, cowed by her mother's rage and delusions. Beverly's mother regained her sight with two corneal transplants in 1950 and went on to enjoy a moment of fame as an artist. Still, these positive turns did nothing to stop her disintegration into her delusional world of communists, radiation, and lurking Italians. To survive, Beverly had to be resilient and hopeful that better days could be ahead. But first, she had to confront essential ethical issues about her caregiving role in her family. In this emotional memoir, Beverly shares the coping strategies she invented to get herself through the trials of her young life, and how school and church served as refuges over the course of her journey. Breaking the psychological chains that bound her to her mother would prove to be the most difficult challenge of her life—and, ultimately, the most liberating one. 2023 Nonfiction Book Awards Gold Winner 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist in Autobiography/Biography 2022 Foreword INDIES Finalist in Autobiography & Memoir—Adult Nonfiction 2022 Readers' Favorite Book Awards Honorable Mention in Non-Fiction—Autobiography 2022 IPPY Awards Bronze Winner in Autobiography II—Coming of Age/Family “Sublime writing brightens an unforgettable, harrowing personal account.”—Kirkus Reviews
