Podcasts about surviving

In this episode of Ambition 2.0, host Amanda Goetz sits down with Erika Ayers Badan, former CEO of Barstool Sports, current CEO of Food52, bestselling author of Nobody Cares About Your Career, and all-around master of building a career entirely on her own terms.  Erika shows us the real mechanics of career growth: why nobody is coming to save you, how to make your own luck, why “random” career paths are often the most powerful, and the mindset shifts that separate fulfilled professionals from stuck ones.  She also shares candid stories from her time leading one of the most controversial (and successful) media companies in the world, what she's learned about managing men and underdogs, how to stay emotionally regulated at work, and why she advocates for not bringing your whole self to work (compartmentalization can actually enhance your authenticity).  Erika shares her thoughts on:  Your career is only for you—not for LinkedIn, not for your resume, and not for anyone else's approval. Luck is made, not given: initiative, shameless asking, and momentum matter more than pedigree in the early stages of your career. Every job, even the terrible or random ones, contains a skill or lesson you'll use later. Emotional regulation and compartmentalization are leadership superpowers, not repression. You don't have to be the “alpha” to lead; service, empowerment, and clarity are often more effective. A great boss can change your entire career trajectory—interview them as much as they interview you. You'll also hear Erika's framework for avoiding energy vampires, deciding which “thankless” tasks are worth it, building a personal board of directors, and creating momentum at any stage of your career—from your second job to the C-suite. 00:00 Intro 03:50 The biggest misconception about career progression 09:23 Surviving bad startups and getting the most out of them 14:20 Making your own luck and the power of asking for help 16:36 Personal boards and shameless asks  20:41 How junior employees can stand out and create momentum 23:37 Leading in a male-dominated culture without being the alpha 32:33 Compartmentalization, authenticity, and emotional regulation at work 39:47 Energy vampires, thankless tasks, and protecting your focus 42:37 How to pick a boss and read interviews differently 45:53 Erika's work at Food52 and Work Life A Girl, and the power of building community 49:15 Rapid-fire questions and Erika's non-negotiables at work GUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erika/ & https://www.instagram.com/workwitherika/  Connect with Erika: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikanardini/  Subscribe to her Substack: https://erikaayersbadan.substack.com/  Listen to her podcast, Work: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/work-with-erika-ayers-badan/id1503065691  Join Work Like a Girl: https://www.worklikeagirl.com/  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/  For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0 Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to “have it all” in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

We've heard countless stories over time, but what continues to stand out is just how strikingly different these accounts can be. This episode features a set of voices, each sharing what they remember from their Near Death Experience. Some describe warmth, calm, even familiarity. Others recall confusion, fear, or an unsettling blankness. A few recount imagery or sensations they still cannot explain. The differences are sharp, sometimes contradictory, and always fascinating.What happened leading up to the event, what they felt or saw during it, and how the experience continues to shape them today. While long-time listeners know that near-death narratives rarely align, hearing these moments side by side offers a fresh reminder that there is no single universal script for what happens when life nearly slips away. Instead, we find a mosaic of interpretations, shaped by personal history, belief, and something we still don't fully understand.The goal is not to prove or disprove anything, but to listen with curiosity and let each account stand on its own. If you've followed this show for a while, you'll recognize familiar themes, yet you may also encounter details that challenge what you thought you knew about these moments at the edge. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Caroline dives deep into the magic and mayhem of the holiday season. From her childhood memories to navigating the stress and loneliness many feel during this time, she offers heartfelt advice and practical tips to make your holidays brighter.

It's the Monday after Thanksgiving, and despite fighting off illness, jet lag, and some major technical difficulties with Riverside, we are here to recount Mike's trip to Japan and Dan's marathon finish. First we insert a special pre-recorded segment breaking down Dan's experience running the Philadelphia Marathon. We discuss the VIP bib upgrade that got him into a heated tent. Dan details his unconventional "Dan Method" of training (which we do not recommend), the horrors of the porta potty lines, and the physical toll of the final miles. Dan's experience getting hyped up from friends and strangers. Erin also shares her own embarrassing spectator moment involving a group of girls she thought wanted a selfie with her. Mike kicks things off with a full recap of his travels, including the surprisingly difficult experience of "renting an old man" named Kenji to help navigate the train system (who ended up getting more lost than they did). He also shares stories about stumbling upon a bar in Tokyo packed with Eagles fans, the life changing magic of Japanese high tech toilets with "privacy sounds," and his visit to a TikTok famous 80 year old knife maker. We also discuss the chaos of Nara Park, where the bowing deer can get a little too aggressive, and the surreal experience of Super Nintendo World.Finally, we wrap up with a strong recommendation for Vince Gilligan's new show Pluribus on Apple TV and explain why we're skipping the "No Bad News" segment just this once.

Most investors fear bear markets—but history shows they play a critical role in building future returns. In this episode, Lance Roberts explains why market declines are not only normal, but necessary for long-term financial success. We break down how bear markets reset valuations, reduce speculation, improve forward returns, and provide disciplined investors with better long-term outcomes. Instead of focusing on predictions, we focus on the importance of managing risk, controlling emotions, and understanding how full market cycles work. 0:00 - INTRO 0:19 - Manage Portfolios for Markets, not Narratives 3:33 - Should You Wait for Correction to Invest? 9:12 - 2026 Economic Summit 10:15 - Markets' Statistics for December 15:14 - Record Levels of Leverage & ETF's 16:54 - Volatility is Different from Bear Market 18:49 - Corrections & Bear Markets are a Good Thing 20:43 - Forest Firers & Recessions are a Good Thing 22:39 - The Fed's 3rd Mandate 25:45 - The Importance of Understanding Full Market Cycles 26:59 - Valuations Always Revert to the Mean 29:50 - Delaying Corrections, Recession Results in Worse Pain Later 32:46 - A 5% Correction is the Price of Admission 34:03 - Get Rid of Narratives 35:10 - The Difference Between Suffering and Surviving 37:16 - Resist Chasing markets 38:10 - Buying & Selling Drives Prices 39:36 - Remain Emotionally Balanced 41:40 - Importance of Monitoring Macro, Technical Signals 42:11 - Importance of an Investment Policy Statement 44:12 - Coming Attractions

Episode 88 of The Wild Chaos Podcast pulls you straight into the kind of story people only talk about behind closed doors. This isn't a highlight reel or a sanitized interview — it's a raw, unfiltered walk through the moments that change a man forever.Watch the full episode #88 here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5c7ESGgxVoYIn this episode, we sit down and unpack the real story behind Matthew's life, starting with the chaos he grew up in and the deep emotional wounds created by his stepmom. This wasn't normal discipline. It wasn't “tough love.” It was psychological warfare inside his own home — isolation, control, manipulation, and a level of emotional abuse that shaped the way he viewed himself for years.We dig into:How early trauma rewires a kid's identity before they even know what's happeningThe pressure of trying to survive in a home where love is conditionalThe way his stepmom's behavior created lifelong scars he didn't recognize until adulthoodHow those wounds followed him into relationships, work, and fatherhoodThe internal battle between protecting yourself and trying to belongHow he finally broke the cycle and rebuilt the parts of himself that were damagedFrom there, the conversation shifts into the challenges he faced later in life — the job, the stress, the moments that pushed him to his breaking point, and the reality of carrying childhood trauma into high-pressure adult situations. We talk about the coping mechanisms, the emotional shutdown, the slow process of rebuilding a sense of worth, and the moment he realized he wasn't broken — he was conditioned.This isn't a victim story. It's a transformation story.If you've ever dealt with childhood trauma, toxic parenting, emotional manipulation, or the long-term fallout of being raised in a dysfunctional home — this episode is going to hit hard and hit real.No filters. No sugar-coating. Just truth.

Al Brown is an restaurateur and businessman, the owner of Auckland stand-outs Depot Oyster Bar and Federal Delicatessen. He joins Emile Donovan to share how to be a good patron this festive season.

Christmas is magic… until it isn’t. Big feelings, tired kids, sugar highs, family drama, and festive chaos can turn the “most wonderful time of the year” into a meltdown marathon. In this episode, Justin and Kylie break down how to handle the full spectrum of Christmas emotions — without overreacting, over-parenting, or overcooking yourself into exhaustion. Real stories, practical tools, and realistic expectations… so your day stays joyful, not stressful. KEY POINTS Why emotional regulation is harder for kids (and adults!) at Christmas The real takeaway from the Marshmallow Experiment The biggest mistake parents make: becoming “at-home therapists” Why letting emotions settle works better than talking them down The glitter-jar brain: a simple metaphor to help kids reset How to use fantasy (“Wouldn’t it be great if…”) to soothe disappointment Why low expectations equal high connection How to stop family tension — especially when alcohol is involved When to step in… and when to step back QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Big emotions on Christmas Day aren’t a failure — they’re developmentally normal. Give them time to settle, and most storms blow over in minutes.” ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Set kids up for success: Protect sleep, reduce overstimulation, keep routines light. Stay calm: Emotions are contagious — yours sets the tone. Pause, don’t fix: Give time for emotions to settle before intervening. Use fantasy to empathise: “Wouldn’t it be amazing if…?” Keep expectations low and flexibility high: Simplicity makes the day better. Be mindful of adult emotions + alcohol: Redirect early, protect kids’ psychological safety. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhen Chelsea Brown's partner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and later took his own life, her world collapsed overnight. Within weeks, she went from a stay-at-home hockey mom to sleeping in trap houses, using meth, and running for her life.What followed was years of violence, addiction, and survival — including being shot in the head by an abusive partner, miscarriages from repeated assaults, and fighting for her children while battling homelessness and systemic neglect.But Chelsea survived. Through courage, community support, and sheer determination, she escaped and built something extraordinary — Warriors Way Forward, an advocacy organization pushing for trauma-informed policing and systemic reform for domestic violence survivors.Her story is one of unimaginable pain turned into purpose — a reminder that even in the darkest places, warriors rise.✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health✅ Parenting in the StormChelsea's linksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/17oZzziCTa/?mibextid=wwXIfrNew's publicationshttps://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-woman-says-police-didnt-take-domestic-violence-case-seriouslyhttps://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/domestic-abuse-femicide-edmonton-alberta=============Find Donna on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/donna.gilchrist.794Support the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Surviving the Holidays! PART 2

Welcome to PGX Raw & Real PGX Raw & Real is simple. I sit with people who've lived through something and/or made it big, and I try to understand what it did to them.Sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it gets weird, sometimes we end up laughing at stories that should've gone very differently just like how real conversations go.This isn't meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).This space is different. It's their story, as they experienced it.In this episode I spoke to — Jordan Jonas - one of the leading survivalists and the winner of ALONE Season 6.Timestamps:00:00 - Story he hasn't told anyone08:55 - Jordan on Thrill & Survival 15:58 - His exp. of living in Siberia 22:48 - Hardest Moments on Alone28:41 - Ki*ling a Moose for Survival 33:15 - First Experience of Hunting 45:35 - Has He Ever Seen a Yeti46:40 - He got attacked by wolverine48:56 - Surviving 66 Days alone in Arctic 54:24 - Diff b/w Loneliness & Solitude 56:40 - Living on Trains for 8 Years 01:01:04 - The Problem With Social Media 01:04:25 - What's so special about Himalayas 01:06:53 - Finding Direction in the Jungle01:09:16 - Seeing the Northern Lights 01:13:32 - His Future Plans 01:17:42 - Question for PrakharEnjoy. — Prakhar

We're back with the second half of our conversation with the unstoppable Heather Gay: housewife, truth-teller, and newly minted slayer of Mormon silence. Heather gets real (and really funny) about what she's gained since stepping away from the church: self-discovery, creative freedom, and the kind of joy 10-year-old her would've fainted over. We dig into her docuseries Surviving Mormonism, the tidal wave of stories she's helping bring to light, and the church's (let's call it) “creative” approach to handling abuse reports. Heather opens up about the personal cost of speaking out, the shocking stories that rocked her the most, and how she's rebuilding her relationship with spirituality from the ground up. And because this is our show, we of course veer into bras, garments, guilty pleasures, and whether Heather might be the Leah Remini of Mormonism (spoiler: yes). We laughed, almost cried, plotted a three-way meetup with Leah, and even talked laser hair removal. Settle in—this one's heartfelt, hilarious, and peak Heather Gay.Follow Heather on Instagram and Facebook, pick up her memoir, Bad Mormon, and catch Surviving Mormonism on Peacock or Bravo.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of child and sexual abuse.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

This month marks 25 years of Bullseye, a public radio show and podcast founded, hosted, and produced by Jesse Thorn. The show began as an offbeat college radio show at UC Santa Cruz, as a way for Thorn and his friends to hone their comedian sensibilities over the airwaves during their daily 7:30am slot. Today, it's a show where artists open up about how and why they pursue their art. And it goes out on NPR. Earlier this month, host Brooke Gladstone called Jesse up to ask him how his show survived every new iteration of podcasting, and how it all began. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Simone is the last Greater Bamboo Lemur in Ranomafana, a protected rainforest in south-east Madagascar. After a happy start in life, surrounded by family, Simone finds herself alone, as members of her family disappear one by one. Three years on, and she's still alone - a social animal, a primate, just like us; how has this isolation affected her mental state? Through primatologist Dr. Patricia Wright and researcher, Alba Schielen, we witness Simone's desperate bid for companionship, as she takes a bold step for survival. At last Simone is happy again, but is all as harmonious as it seems? https://www.instagram.com/ct_wildlife/ Director Statement I had a chance encounter with the lemur featured in my film whilst trekking in the rainforest during my honeymoon in Madagascar in 2022. Upon hearing that this lemur was the last of her species in the area, I was eager to find out more about her and tell her story, which serves as a poignant reminder of how the global biodiversity crisis is affecting animals on a personal level. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star and New York Times bestselling author Heather Gay joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to discuss her powerful new special, Surviving Mormonism.

On this episode, we get to meet Julian Brave NoiseCat. Julian is a filmmaker, documentarian, and writer, who just put out his first book, called We Survived the Night. Part memoir, part cultural ethnography, the book traces through Julian's own story - including the stories of his parents and family - and weaves in elements of Indigenous stories and mythologies of the communities he is a part of: the Canim Lake Band Tsq'secen of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) in British Columbia. Last year, Julian also received an Oscar nomination for his first documentary film, Sugarcane, which he co-directed with Emily Kassie, which made him the first North American Indigenous filmmaker to be nominated at the Academy Awards. The film studies the impact of the Canadian Indian Residential School System, and the lingering effects and ongoing trauma of the experiences children had there - including some members of his own family. It's a serious conversation, and a very serious topic - but a vital one. I was very grateful to Julian for taking the time to have a deep conversation about this deep subject. Thanks for listening.

Content warning: this episode contains discussions of sexual assault. Over the past several months, the Epstein files have been extensively covered by the media. But too often,  the voices of actual survivors are missing. In this episode, we're filling that gap and shifting the focus to where it belongs: to the survivors and what justice means to them. Dr. Michele Goodwin is joined by Jessica Michaels, a sexual assault awareness advocate and Epstein survivor. Dr. Goodwin speaks with Jess about her experience as a survivor of sexual assault, her work as an advocate, and what she wants the public to know about sexual violence as news about Epstein and his connections to powerful men and women continues to come to light.This episode is part of our ongoing series on the Epstein Files. We unpack the record, combing through the various emails, speaking with reporters, and ask the fundamental question: what will it take for men in power to treat women and girls with dignity and respect? Joining us to discuss these important issues is a very special guest: Jess Michaels: Jess Michaels is a dance industry professional with 30 years experience as a performer, educator, and entrepreneur. She is also a 1991 survivor of sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein and childhood sexual abuse. She is the founder of 3Joannes Sexual Assault First Aid, teaching people to “know what to do when someone says ME TOO." Through her work, Jess equips communities with the tools to minimize the devastating long-term effects of sexual violence.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

The Father Hoods crew taps back in with a throwback featuring the legendary Kardinal Offishall, and the convo is loaded with real fatherhood gems! Kardi kicks things off breaking down his family dynamics: from raising kids with tight age gaps to dealing with sibling jealousy, handling little ones acting up, and balancing multiple jobs without losing that crucial family time. He gets 100 about how his household held it down through the pandemic, managing school, work, and sanity all at once. The talk hits even deeper as Kardi shares how he and his wife built a home where feelings get voiced, problems get aired out, and communication is a daily practice. Discipline, respect for different parenting styles, and the reality of kids wildin' out in public? All on the table!

Every year, as the holidays approach, photographers are bombarded with ads promising that the next lens, light, or gadget will finally take their work to the next level. The deals are tempting, the pressure is real—and it's easy to believe that "better gear" equals "better photographer." In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, we dive into how to survive the holiday marketing frenzy and refocus your energy on growth that actually matters. Instead of chasing discounts, this conversation is about investing in yourself: your creativity, your craft, and your purpose. We explore how to tune out the noise, resist the constant call to consume, and make intentional choices about where to expand in your photography journey - whether that means learning new skills, starting a personal project, or refining your artistic vision. Here's what you'll take away from this episode: Recognizing the Hype – How the photo industry's marketing cycle is designed to create FOMO and how to step back from it. Purposeful Expansion – Ways to grow as a photographer without spending a dime—through experimentation, education, and community. Mindful Purchasing – How to evaluate what you actually need versus what marketers tell you you're missing. Refocusing on Creativity – Why the best investments often come from time, attention, and curiosity—not gear. Building a Sustainable Mindset – Approaching your photography career with balance and long-term purpose instead of impulse-driven consumption. This episode is a reminder that no sale can buy skill, vision, or passion. True growth comes from practice, purpose, and presence - not your credit card balance.
