Host Chris Markowski calls for a cultural reset before machines replace real human connection.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Ghost Box communication has become one of the most talked-about methods of reaching the other side. But what's really happening when voices break through the static? Are they earthbound spirits, echoes from another dimension—or something far darker? For decades, Bruce Halliday has been at the forefront of ghost box research, helping shape the modern practice of spirit communication. In this chilling conversation, Bruce pulls back the curtain on what it means to truly connect with the dead through radio frequencies and static sweeps. He shares not only the breakthroughs—but also the dangers. What happens when a curious experiment crosses the line into something terrifying? How can you tell the difference between a benign message from a lost loved one and a manipulative entity looking to deceive? And what does the future hold for two-way communication between the living and the dead? If you've ever wondered about the reality of ghost box sessions—or dared to try one yourself—this episode will leave you questioning every voice that comes through the static.

Welcome back to the Homeward podcast.  I am honored to share today's conversation with the incredibly wise + paradigm-shifting David Bedrick.  David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame. Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies where he trains therapists, coaches and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development. David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption. Today's conversation serves as its own masterclass in unshaming. You'll hear David help me tease out my own inner critic and walk us through the unshaming process to find the flower (the gift) in our pain.  I can't wait for you to listen.  Links Mentioned:  Order The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7 Learn more on David's website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/  Follow him over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/    Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

In this message a striking parallel is drawn between Joshua addressing Israel and Jesus speaking to His church today. It reminds us that when someone speaks to us—especially Christ—our response reveals our heart and shapes the whole community of believers. We are called to hear His clear commands and rely on His strength to obey. In doing so, we discover the life and blessing that come from following Him together.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When a Ghost Box crackles to life, who are we really hearing? Are those voices the whispers of the dead trying to communicate, earthbound spirits desperate for attention, or something far more sinister? Some believe the static hides messages from the spirit world, while others claim it could even be extraterrestrial contact. Bruce Halliday has spent more than a decade studying paranormal communication through Ghost Boxes, dissecting the eerie voices that bleed through the static. His research raises chilling questions: Are these truly the spirits of the departed—or manipulations by something darker? Could the Ghost Box be opening a door we don't fully understand, one that invites not only the lost, but also the malicious? In this gripping conversation, we dive deep into the mystery of Ghost Box communication, exploring theories, shocking encounters, and the terrifying implications of who—or what—might be answering back.

Psalm 42 Rev. Clay Holland

St. Isaac the Syrian leads us into a subtle yet decisive truth about the spiritual life: to taste of God rightly, one must be weaned from the world—not only from its visible distractions and passions, but also from the premature grasping of spiritual visions and insights. Renunciation, for Isaac, is not merely the abandonment of external goods; it is the letting go of everything that agitates, excites, or exceeds the soul's present capacity. Like a child given honey before it can digest it, the soul that seeks lofty knowledge or noetic vision without purification risks sickness and collapse. This is why Isaac insists that silence and stillness are the true companions of renunciation. The soul must be emptied and simplified, freed from the clutter of worldly images, memories, and concerns. Only then can she begin to perceive, not in phantasy, but in the true theoria that God bestows upon the humble and pure of heart. Silence, for Isaac, is the protection of this delicate work. It guards the soul from shameless curiosity about mysteries that surpass her strength, and it teaches her to receive revelation with reverence, not presumption. Stillness, likewise, is the arena where renunciation becomes fruitful. By cutting off the “exterior war” of the senses—sight, hearing, chatter, possessions—the soul is fortified against the subtler inner warfare of thoughts. In this solitude, prayer and Scripture reading form the new conversation of the heart, replacing worldly recollections with the remembrance of God. Thus renunciation is not negative but deeply positive: it creates space for mercy, for purity, for true prayer, and for the divine astonishment that halts the soul in stillness before the mysteries of God. Isaac reminds us that almsgiving and voluntary poverty open the heart to boldness before God, but stillness is the summit—where the soul is no longer divided, tossed about, or burdened, but rests in the radiant quiet of God's presence. Renunciation, then, is not escape but transfiguration. It severs us from the false sweetness of the world and teaches us to taste, in measure, the true sweetness of God. It bids us to be content with what is given, to wait in silence for the moment when grace itself will lift us beyond our measure, and to remain always in the humility by which mysteries are revealed. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:05:39 Bob Čihák, AZ: Our current book is “The Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian, revised 2nd Edition” 2011, published by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, https://www.bostonmonks.com/product_info.php/products_id/635 .

In this week's episode, Aimee sits with David Bedrick, therapist, author of The Unshaming Way, and a passionate advocate for psychological truth-telling. They explore how shame disconnects us from our experience, distorts our emotions, and shapes our identities from the inside out. Through somatic awareness, storytelling, and radical compassion, David invites us into the process of unshaming—not fixing ourselves, but fully witnessing and embracing the parts we've exiled.David takes us through:- Why shame cuts us off from empathy, truth, and genuine accountability- How trauma and unacknowledged pain become embedded in the body- The power of somatic language to access “unshamed experience”- What it means to witness, rather than fix, someone in pain- Why reclaiming emotion, desire, and personal narrative is essential to healing- How unshaming returns us to wholeness and expands our capacity to love, feel, and actAnd so much more!David Bedrick, JD, Dipl. PW, is a teacher, counselor, and attorney. He grew up in a family marked by violence. While his father's brutality was physical and verbal, his mother's denial and gaslighting had its own covert power. This formative context introduced David early to the etiology of shame and instilled an urge to unshame.Professionally, he was on the faculty for the University of Phoenix and the Process Work Institute in the U.S. and Poland, and is the founder of the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies, where he trains therapists, coaches, and healers and offers workshops for individuals to further their own personal development.David writes for Psychology Today and is the author of three books: Talking Back to Dr. Phil: Alternatives to Mainstream Psychology and Revisioning Activism: Bringing Depth, Dialogue, and Diversity to Individual and Social Change. His new book is You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover: 17 Women's Stories of Hunger, Body Shame and Redemption.His new book, The Unshaming Way, was published by North Atlantic books in November 2024.Connect with David:Website: https://www.davidbedrick.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.bedrick/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DBedrickOrder The Unshaming Way: https://a.co/d/dYTwNa7Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/contributors/david-bedrick-jd-dipl-pw  Connect with Aimee:Instagram: @aimeetakaya Facebook: Aimee Takaya Learn more about Aimee Takaya, Hanna Somatic Education, and The Radiance Program at⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.freeyoursoma.com⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠

In part 1 we talked about the general issues with giving the weight loss industry the benefit of the doubt. In part 2 we talked about the specifics of this for the GLP-1 weight loss meds. That brings us back to our original question from family doctor Elena:I'm a weight-neutral family doctor. I was talking to a colleague about my issues with the GLP-1s and how there is no evidence that supports that taking them for life will lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits. He said “There's no evidence that they won't.” It strikes me as wrong, but how do I argue with that?In some ways it can depend who you are talking to.

There's a powerful psychological state that can paralyze us, interfere with effective relationships, block our empathy, and cause us to inflict harm. It's called shame.Today, David Bedrick shares what shame is, how it's created, and its connection to trauma. Some say shame keeps us humble, but David shares why we don't need shame because it's not the same as embarrassment or regret. We unpack why shame is not a feeling but a psychological state that can leave you numb - and how you can instead create a space of safety and security within yourself. David shares how we can snap out of a shame spiral in the moment and also gives insights as to why some people may feel a need to shame others. David makes us think about our need to “solve,” or pathologize as he puts it, shame, anger, depression, and the like rather than process root causes to make meaning. He offers an intriguing thought experiment to try to break yourself of this tendency! Lastly, we touch on how to unashame conflict and dialogue through conflict in a more productive way. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Shame is different from embarrassment or humiliation. Shame is a psychological state that may have feelings associated with it. Negative feelings are not bad - they can even be helpful for understanding our behavior and lead us to making an action toward repair. Say the criticisms in your head aloud from the perspective of the negatives - it gives you a chance to respond and advocate for yourself. "If shame enters my system, the only thing I care about is removing the bad experience I have in myself. I don't care about you. I care about being low. In the fully shame psyche, you don't exist as a person that matters to me at all." — David Bedrick, JD, Dipl.

It's the first monday of the month which means it's time for another Talking Back Redux ep, today we're circling back to 1983's Superman 3! Many fans of the series complained that with Superman 3 there was too much emphasis on comedy, the villains were too weak, and Christopher Reeve essentially played second fiddle to Richard Pryor. In our opinion those are the some of the things that make this movie so damn fun! This movie isn't taking anything seriously and neither should you. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy its light hearted nature. If you don't have time to watch then tune in to our review and we'll let you know all the good stuff. We hope you enjoy this review!
