Survival tips for a long, dark winter, checking out a town by house sales and my thoughts on the new Alison Roman cookbook!

Join Sandra for an incredible conversation with Joshua Silverberg, the Executive Producer of the new hit series "Miracle" on Angel Studios (hosted by Bear Grylls). Joshua isn't just documenting stories of medical impossibilities; he lived one. In 2021, Joshua was in the ICU with failing organs and oxygen levels so low that doctors told him, "People like you don't survive." In this episode, Joshua shares the riveting story of how a friend felt a divine pull to drive three hours and talk his way into a high-security lockdown to pray for him. Joshua also describes his Near-Death Experience where he surrendered to death, saying, "I'm coming in for the hug," only to be met by the "Mind of God"—a place where worry does not exist. PLUS - we talk about the INCREDIBLE episodes of the new series MIRACLE. Watch the series "Miracle" on Angel Studios: https://www.angel.com/watch/miracle Joshua is a songwriter, musician, and producer whose work has topped the Billboard charts, been featured in major films, achieved platinum status, and earned him 11 Dove Award nominations…Grammy and Emmy nominations, and the unofficial but deeply valued title of "Best Dad." *Connect with Sandra Champlain: * Website (Free book by joining the 'Insiders Club, Free empowering Sunday Gatherings with medium demonstration, Mediumship Classes & more): http://wedontdie.com *Patreon (Early access, PDF of over 790 episodes & more): Visit https://www.patreon.com/wedontdieradio  *Don't miss Sandra's #1 "Best of all things afterlife related" Podcast 'Shades of the Afterlife' at https://bit.ly/ShadesoftheAfterlife

Send us a textDr Martina Zangger's story is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery after childhood sexual abuse, and her message, that shame must be taken from the victim and placed on the perpetrator.Abused at just four years old in Switzerland by her grandfather, a respected judge, and her uncle, a well-known politician, Martina grew up shrouded in silence.Moving to Australia at 12 years old, In her search for healing, Martina fell in love with an Indian guru at 18 years old, and was invited as a mail order disciple to live in his cult in the U.S, provided she paid $8000 for the privilege. So desperate to get to her guru, and with few skills she was talked into becoming a sex worker in Darlinghurst, Sydney at just 19. She eventually made enough money to go to the Ashram but unfortunately all was not what it seemed in 'the brochure!' She was subjected to exploitation and hard labour. Her journey from trauma to survival is confronting but deeply inspiring.Today, Martina holds a PhD, is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, and has spent over 20 years working on the frontline with women and children impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence. This is an AMAZING episode!Support the show

Angela Nicolazzi grew up in Brooklyn before moving to Florida, where her life took a dramatic turn. She became a mother at just 14 years old, struggled to stay on a stable path, and by 19 found herself involved in an armed robbery with her brother and her child's father. That moment changed everything—Angela was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 15 years in the Florida state prison system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Angela shares her full story: her childhood, early motherhood, the events that led to her arrest, what life inside a Florida prison was really like, and how she rebuilt her identity after serving more than a decade behind bars. #FloridaStatePrison #PrisonSurvival #PrisonStory #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #PrisonLife #TrueCrimePodcast #redemptionstory Thank you to AURA FRAMES & k9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I speak with Sarma Melngailis, author of The Girl with the Duck Tattoo and the central figure in the documentary Bad Vegan. Sarma shares her lived experience of sustained psychological coercion, how it felt to be worn down and re-anchored in someone else's reality, and what the recovery process looks like after a relationship that functioned much like a one-on-one cult.What we coverHow coercive control can operate like psychological warfare and the tactics that make it feel impossible to leave.Why intelligent, accomplished people can become victims: the slow wearing down, mirroring, and exploitation of hopes and vulnerabilities.The parallels between cult dynamics and one-on-one coercive relationships—why isolation and repeated micro-assaults change perception and decision-making.The aftermath: public shame, misrepresentation in media, and the ongoing work of reclaiming agency, safety, and reputation.Practical reflections for survivors and protective parents: how to notice red flags early, the power of sitting with your intuition, and how healing helps rebuild boundaries and clarity.Why listen Sarma's story illustrates that coercive control is not about intelligence or credentials — it's about a strategic, multifaceted assault on agency and reality. Whether you are a survivor, a caregiver, a clinician, or someone trying to understand how otherwise kind and competent people get trapped, this episode names the mechanisms, normalizes survivors' reactions, and offers concrete ideas for protection and recovery.Guest bio (short) Sarma Melngailis is the author of The Girl with the Duck Tattoo and the subject of the documentary Bad Vegan. She writes and speaks about her experience of coercive control and its aftermath, helping others recognize the subtle, insidious tactics used by predatory partners.Connect with Sarma Melngailis:Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sarmamelngailisIG: https://www.instagram.com/sarmamelngailisLinktree: https://linktr.ee/sarmamelngailis?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=5c0c0b7d-0fd4-4700-b1ff-86848db49061Books: https://l1nk.dev/Sarma-Melngailis-BooksConnect with Dr. Christine:Protective Parenting Program: https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/services/for-parents/Official site: https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrCocchiola-coercivecontrol/videosTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.c_coercivecontrolIG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.cocchiola_coercivecontrol/TEDxTalks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp2qByKOue4&t=24sBooks: https://url-shortener.me/c/FramedBookhttps://url-shortener.me/c/EveryMomentOfEveryDayIf this episode landed for you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, subscribe for more trauma-informed conversations, and consider leaving a review — it helps other survivors find validation and safety.— Dr. Christine Cocchiola & guest Sarma Melngailis

Yes, the CIA tortured inmates suspected of terrorism in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Two of the primary men involved with creating this program are Mormon, one was called to be a Bishop after taking $81mn from the government to torture people. We discuss the report, how it came to light, some of the key figures along the way, and the fight over the FOIA release of the report in the courts. After that we talk about The Report, wherein Adam Driver plays Dan Jones who led the investigation at the direction of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Then we have some happy news about libraries getting funding that was promised to them.   CW: torture, suicide   Show Notes:  Torture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture#Punishment  Torture in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_in_the_United_States#History_of_U.S._Accession  US Senate report on CIA torture "The Torture Report": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Senate_report_on_CIA_torture  The Torture Memos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_Memos  7 Key Points form the C.I.A.

Nothing says ‘fun afternoon' quite like adding cutlery to your feet, bruising most of your body, and then going for a nice swim. And to clarify, when I say nothing, I mean because that's not something that anyone has ever said before.On today's episode: we'll see how the former digs of axe murderers and corpse thieves and child labour body pits became one of the most beautiful green spaces in London; we'll learn why early ice skates were only marginally more comfortable than being eaten by wolves; and we'll learn why Victorian fashion doubled as de facto funeral attire with the addition of simple water.And because you are listening on Patreon… you'll hear about how early animal captivity turned one man into a bloody Stretch Armstrong doll, complete with blood spray effects; you will learn how the Dutch invented a new high-speed form of knife-fighting and ice skates for horses; and you will hear how London had a unique form of Winter Fair that only closed up for the year once people started drowning.There's no risk of drowning in feces or burning to death in today's story, so in a way this is our nicest visit to Victorian England we've ever attempted – you're welcome. But that said, we're going to see how everything from your hobbies to your clothes wanted you dead. And I don't want to spoil anything, but by the time we're finishing up, you're going to wonder just how often the same thing can happen again and again. I don't want your takeaway to be fear, I want it to be hope and empowerment, acknowledging even the most frightening situations are not guaranteed death sentences. As one of my favourite listeners says, “you're not dead till you're warm and dead”. This is our last normal episode of the year. A year that will have brought you more than 934 minutes of content and laid 23,589 corpses at your feet. Not bad if I do say so myself. The next episode will be our Christmas disaster movies ode, and for you guys I'm turning it into a video! ––––– THANK YOU.

Japan Stands Up for Taiwan While Canada Demurs: Colleagues Charles Burton and Gordon Chang report that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi recently declared that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a "survival threatening situation" for Japan, authorizing the mobilization of self-defense forces; this statement has triggered a massive propaganda campaign from Beijing demanding a retraction, as a successful invasion of Taiwan would likely require violating Japanese sovereignty, while in contrast Canada remains reluctant to support Tokyo or criticize Beijing, hoping to secure trade benefits and diversify exports away from the U.S., leaving Japan isolated by its allies. 1937 SHANGHAI

The Survival of UNRWA and the Flow of Terror Finance: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotterreport that despite investigations revealing corruption and ties to terrorism, the UN has renewed the mandate for UNRWA for another three years; the organization's facilities have been used by Hamas and its schools have been implicated in radicalizing children, yet international efforts to replace it have stalled, while Hamas leadership refuses to disarm or accept international oversight, demanding a Palestinian state as a precondition for any change, with financial support for terror groups continuing to flow through networks in Europe and the Middle East. 1917 GAZA

You can't plant in winter, harvest in spring, or force a seed to grow before its time. And yet, most people treat their personal development like a farm they can cram for. In this episode, Paul breaks down the essential idea that your life has seasons—periods of growth, periods of maintenance, and periods of survival—and how recognizing your season changes everything.Why people burn out when they try to “grow” during a survival seasonHow to reframe stagnation as progress when you're carrying a heavy loadThe subtle mindset shift that helps you stop beating yourself upWhat Stephen Covey got right about natural systemsHow to work with your internal seasons instead of against themWhy “treading water” sometimes is winningWhat happens when you try to juggle 15 balls instead of 10How to identify what season you're truly in so you can act accordinglyIf you want more growth with less resistance, this episode is your blueprint.In This Episode:

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ann Pearson gets straight to the heart of the biggest challenge paralegals face managing an overwhelming workload. Skipping the usual intro, Ann dives right into why so many paralegals feel behind before their day even begins, and why that feeling has nothing to do with their competence. Drawing from her own early-career story of last-minute assignments and impossible timelines, Ann explains the real reason paralegals struggle: no one ever teaches them the systems and structures needed to stay ahead of the chaos. To change that, she introduces a four-step blueprint that helps legal support professionals move from reactive to proactive workload management. Ann also walks listeners through the first section of her new Paralegal Survival Toolkit, a free eight-part resource designed to help paralegals build clarity, control, and confidence in their daily work. As the episode unfolds, she reassures listeners that while the legal workload will always be heavy, the overwhelm doesn't have to be. Key Takeaways: Workload overwhelm is normal and fixable: Feeling behind is not a personal failing; it's part of the legal profession. What can change is your system for handling the workload. Prioritize by impact, not urgency: Inbox urgency is often an illusion. Instead, look for items tied to court deadlines, client deliverables, strategic decisions, or workflows that move a file forward. Map the work before you start the work: Most overwhelm happens because tasks aren't broken down. A project like "prepare discovery responses" contains 8 - 10 steps. Mapping creates clarity and reduces stress. Verify deadlines and assumptions every time: Asking clarifying questions isn't being difficult - it's being professional. Confirm deadlines, expectations, and whether a draft or final version is needed before you begin. Eliminate micro time wasters to reclaim hours: Small inefficiencies, repeated searches, rewriting emails, constant notifications, lack of templates, or unclear instructions add up quickly. System fixes unlock weekly time savings. You can't change the workload, but you can change your control over it. Heavy workloads are unavoidable, but overwhelm isn't. Skills and systems, not more hours, are what make the difference. Get the free Paralegal Survival Toolkit. The downloadable toolkit includes the workload clarity checklist, prioritization prompts, and a project-mapping template. It supports this episode and the seven episodes that follow. Access it at ParalegalToolkit.com.   Get more free paralegal resources: https://paralegal-bootcamp.com/paralegal-resources For all of our paralegal podcast episodes: https://paralegal-bootcamp.com/ 

Ranking Resilience and the Importance of Water: Colleague Eric Cline uses definitions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—coping, adapting, and transforming—to rank ancient civilizations, attributing the survival of Egypt and Assyria partly to their access to major river systems, a resource the failed Hittite empire lacked; the Phoenicians and Cypriots are ranked highest for "transforming" and becoming antifragile, while Egypt is described as merely "coping," and the Cypriots eventually lost their independence to Assyrian expansion despite their initial post-collapse success. 1953 Retry

Tonya Higdon grew up in a good family, but childhood trauma pushed her into years of addiction involving nearly every drug you can imagine. She became a young mother while struggling to stay clean, bounced in and out of trouble, and eventually went on the run after multiple arrests for driving without a license. When she was finally caught, Tonya was sentenced to three years in the Florida state prison system—where she formed a long-term relationship with another woman that lasted her entire sentence. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Tonya shares her full story: her upbringing, addiction, life on the run, surviving prison, the realities of having a prison girlfriend, and how she worked to rebuild her life afterward.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – The lesson of the past fifty years is clear: we cannot afford half-measures. If the nation is to stem the tide of overdose deaths, it must treat the drug crisis as the existential threat it is—one that requires decisive, protective action at every level, from interdiction to treatment. Only then can we hope to end the longest war America has ever fought...

Chasing external success but hitting ND burnout walls? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores personal mastery for neurodivergent high achievers with Jerry Henderson, creator of The Personal Mastery Framework™, author/speaker/coach/Personal Mastery Podcast host. Trained at Harvard in human behavior/neuroanatomy/resilience/habits (MBA Global Business, Master's Psychology in progress), Jerry helps trauma survivors (like his own childhood/burnout/imposter journey) blend IFS/NLP/positive psych for emotional resilience, limiting belief rewiring, and whole life success—beyond grind to clarity/peace. Key insights: Mindset pillar: Reframe fixed to growth (stress mindset, CBT for shame-driven achieving). NLP for beliefs: Anchor positive states, disrupt emotional loops (e.g., "happy button" for anxiety/perfectionism). Whole life vs. high performance: Holistic (relationships/sleep/nervous system) for thriving, not survival. Trauma-informed: IFS parts work (protectors/exiles), curiosity over judgment for resilience (ACEs impact). Habit formation: Start small/stack (atomic habits), align with self-worth to avoid sabotage. Clarity/peace: Intrinsic motivation, self-acceptance—external wins without void-filling. Authentic connection: Vulnerability in safe relationships (one fully disclosing starts it). Burnout fix: Honest self-reflection, ask help; job hopping ignores root causes (toxic patterns follow). For autistic/ADHD high performers in imposter/shame cycles, Jerry's framework (post-$1B philanthropy) sustains growth. Free call/resource at jerryhenderson.org.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking discoveries and intriguing phenomena from Mars to the depths of space.Lightning Strikes on Mars: A Historic DiscoveryNASA's Perseverance Rover has made a remarkable find by detecting lightning in the Martian atmosphere for the first time. Recorded within two dust devils in Jezero Crater, the rover's Supercam microphone captured electromagnetic and acoustic signals indicative of electrical discharges. This discovery not only confirms long-held theories about Martian electrical activity but also reveals significant implications for the planet's atmospheric chemistry and potential hazards for future missions.NASA's Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I AtlasFollowing the European Space Agency's observations, NASA has released stunning images of interstellar comet 3I Atlas. As the comet passed close to Mars, NASA's MAVEN and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provided crucial data on its trajectory and chemical composition. These insights are helping astronomers piece together the comet's journey and origins, revealing potential clues about water in other star systems.Moss in Space: Resilience Against the VoidA new study has shown that moss can survive the harsh conditions of space for up to 15 years. Researchers sent moss spores to the International Space Station, where they thrived despite exposure to the vacuum and extreme temperatures. This remarkable resilience could have implications for understanding life's potential to endure in extreme environments beyond Earth.Skywatch: December HighlightsAs the December solstice approaches, we take a look at the night sky's highlights, including the Geminids meteor shower and the ticking time bomb of Eta Carina. We also discuss the significance of the December solstice and the celestial events that define this time of year.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of NatureNASA ReportsJournal of Eye ScienceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has captured evidence of electrical discharges(00:03:47) NASA publishes its own observations of the Interstellar Comet 3I Atlas(00:07:26) Moss spores survive exposure to vacuum of space for up to 15 years(00:09:40) The December solstice marks the beginning of winter in both hemispheres(00:11:54) Axial precession causes a slow and continuous change in Earth's rotational axis(00:15:11) Astronomers describe stars in terms of spectral types based on temperature and characteristics(00:19:04) Two blue stars nearing end of their lives before exploding massive core collapse supernovae(00:24:23) Just above the horizon is the constellation of Orion the Hunter(00:34:04) Canopus talks about the effect of the Moon on stargazing(00:37:03) The Southern Cross starts near the celestial equator and wanders far south(00:39:06) There are two star clusters that we speak about quite often on the show(00:41:50) The only planet that's up in the early evening is Saturn

The Silent Signs of Survival Mode: Why You're Drained Feeling exhausted, unfocused, or emotionally overwhelmed, even though you're still performing? You may be in survival mode at work without realizing it. That's where so many leaders are right now. On the outside, you're delivering. You're holding everything together.  But inside? There's this quiet whisper: "I can't keep doing this." For so many high-achieving leaders, the challenge isn't a lack of capability. It's that your nervous system is stuck in protective mode. Constant change, uncertainty, restructures, and the weight of responsibility have all pushed your system into a place it was never designed to live. In this episode, Blake breaks down the signs you're stuck in survival mode. She explains why responsible leaders are most at risk and what it really takes to reclaim your clarity and energy. If you've ever wondered why rest doesn't fix the problem or why everything feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you. Episode Highlights What Survival Mode Really Looks Like  [01:45] - Why it doesn't look dramatic  [02:20] - The functional version most leaders miss  [02:50] - Signs you're stuck in survival mode   Why Strong, Capable Leaders Get Trapped Here [05:45] - How strengths become coping strategies  [06:15] - The nervous system's learned patterns  [06:50] - The pressure-performance cycle that keeps you on edge   The Deeper Root: Lifelong Patterns of Survival  [07:30] - Early wiring and identity  [08:10] - How your body keeps trying to protect you  [08:45] - The real reason rest doesn't fix the problem   The Hope: What's Possible When You Shift Out of Survival Mode  [09:25] - More clarity, energy, and creativity  [09:55] - Returning to presence and confidence  [10:20] - Why transformation can be faster than you think   Powerful Quotes "You're not broken, and nothing about you has ever been the problem." -Blake Schofield "Survival mode isn't dramatic. It looks functional—until you realize you don't feel like you anymore." -Blake Schofield "If you've been operating in some version of survival mode for most of your life, you have no idea how much more capability, clarity, energy, creativity, and confidence are actually available to you." -Blake Schofield Resources Mentioned Take the Burnout Type™ Quiz Discover your unique burnout pattern so you can finally solve the real issue.

Why do today's buyers have a harder time committing to a property than in 2021? It is easy to chalk up to "the market" but really, it's the motivation.Garrett and Matt unpack the critical shift every agent needs to understand. You see, COVID-era buyers were escaping pain (survival moves), while today's buyers are chasing a vision (dream moves). This single distinction explains why buyers are more discerning, why deals fall apart mid-transaction, and why the old "let's go write an offer" approach isn't working like it used to.Learn how to slow down, ask better questions, and guide buyers toward clarity—because when buyers are clear, they move fast. Bonus: Matt and Garrett also cover the weekly conversation framework that keeps deals together and creates raving fans.Topics covered: buyer psychology, preventing buyer remorse, customer service calls, navigating the 2024-2025 real estate market, building trust with discerning buyers.

Fronds. Forest dwellers. Spores. Houseplants. Queer icons. We've got ferns. The charming and hilarious professor and author of “Ferns: Lessons in Survival from Earth's Most Adaptable Plants,” Dr. Fay-Wei Li, tells me all about fern evolution, what ferns not to have in your house, the most expensive ferns, the tastiest ferns, mathematical mysteries, and a genome that makes no sense, to me or a lot of Pteridologists. Also, can Between Two Ferns save science?

In this episode, I sit down with Kayleigh Summers, a perinatal trauma therapist and the voice behind The Birth Trauma Mama. Kayleigh shares her powerful story of surviving an amniotic fluid embolism (AFE)—a rare and often fatal childbirth emergency—and how that experience completely reshaped her life, identity, and path into motherhood. We talk about what it was like to navigate recovery after a traumatic birth, the emotional complexity that comes with surviving something life-threatening, and the grief that can follow when your birth and postpartum experience look nothing like what you imagined. Kayleigh also opens up about rebuilding her sense of self, the importance of trauma-informed care, and why community and shared stories matter so deeply for women who feel alone in their experiences. Today, Kayleigh uses both her clinical background and lived experience to support others who are processing perinatal trauma, helping mothers feel seen, validated, and less alone in their healing.   Connect with Kayleigh: Website: https://thebirthtraumamama.com/  Instagram: @thebirthtrauma_mama Podcast: The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast   Want to elevate your coaching with an in-person experience?
