Is your life guided by choice… or by your cosmic design? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with world-renowned astrologer and psychotherapist Debra Silverman to explore how astrology, psychology, and past-life patterns intersect to shape who we are today. Debra shares how discovering astrology at a young age set her on a path to helping thousands understand themselves through their birth charts. She breaks down the difference between surface-level horoscopes and true chart analysis, and explains why Carl Jung believed psychology was incomplete without astrology. They unpack how planetary influences can impact personality, relationships, purpose, and even rebellion against authority, and how that awareness can become a powerful tool for healing and self-acceptance. In this episode, Darius and Debra will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Debra Silverman (02:17) Debra's Origin Story and Early Fascination with Astrology (05:06) The Intersection of Astrology and Psychotherapy (10:37) Understanding Astrology: Beyond the Basics (15:24) The Science and History of Astrology (19:14) Applying Astrology in Psychotherapy (25:31) Finding Fulfillment Through Astrology (28:28) The Dance of Ego and Soul (30:47) Understanding the Ego's Role (34:06) Astrology as a Tool for Self-Discovery (37:17) The Intersection of Ego and Soul (40:37) Living in the Present Moment (43:12) Surrendering Control for Inner Peace (51:26) Overcoming Barriers to Greatness Debra Silverman is a pioneering psycho-therapist and astrologer with over 35 years of experience helping people understand their strengths, challenges, and life purpose through an integrated approach to psychology and astrology.

 What Is Daily Shift? Daily Shift is a new mini-series on the Celeste the Therapist podcast. Each short episode is designed to help you shift the way you think, create mental clarity, and move through your day with more intention. This series is part of my larger brand mission, Shifting the Way You Think, which supports emotional wellness and helps people get unstuck through awareness, mindset work, and daily practice. Today's Daily Shift explores a state many people live in without even realizing it: survival mode. When your past required you to stay alert, tense, or ready for anything, your body can remain in that state long after the danger is gone. This episode helps you understand why you might find it hard to relax, why peace feels unfamiliar, and how to begin shifting out of constant survival and into true living. This is a reminder that you don't have to stay in the same mindset you once needed just to make it through.

If you've ever swallowed your needs, kept the peace, and then randomly lost your shit over something tiny (hi, dirty spoon in the sink), this episode is for you. Therapist and author Tonya Lester is here to talk about conflict, boundaries, and what it really means to be “difficult” in a world that still rewards women for being nice, accommodating, and endlessly available. Tonya is the therapist women call when they're done being walked on. A Brooklyn-based psychotherapist with decades of clinical experience, she specializes in women's emotional health, conflict skills, and relationships. We dig into why so many women default to do nothing → do nothing → do nothing → FREAK OUT, how to stop building silent resentment brick by brick, and what it looks like to push back early and often—in love, in work, and in every relationship that actually matters. This is real-talk conflict management for women who are done disappearing to keep everyone else comfortable. In this episode, we get into: Why “being difficult” is actually a compliment when it means being honest, boundaried, and real The subtle ways women suppress their needs in relationships, families, and at work (while telling themselves “it's not a big deal”) The do-nothing-do-nothing-freak-out pattern—and how to catch yourself before you emotionally flip a table How to say hard things clearly and calmly: phrases you can steal for your next conflict at home or in the office The difference between healthy anger and full-on rage (and why anger is often a sign you still care) When ultimatums do have a place—and when they're just emotional terrorism How to stop over-functioning in your relationships (aka rowing both oars while the other person “rests”) What to do when your partner, boss, or friend refuses to collaborate—and how to decide if it's time to stay, shift, or go Tiny, doable ways to practice pushing back if you're conflict-avoidant but deeply over people-pleasing If standing up for yourself has ever been labeled “too much,” this conversation will help you see that maybe the problem isn't you—it's the system that benefits from you staying small.

Secure attachment is a term that gets thrown around, but it's often not clear what it means or why it matters! In fact, it's a decades old psychological concept that points to the protective impact on a child's lifelong wellbeing of having just one caring adult. Therapist and author of Raising Securely Attached Kids, Eli Harwood AKA the Attachment Nerd, joins the podcast to dissect the critical role of secure attachment on people's development and explain ways to achieve it in our families.

This series is part of my larger brand mission, Shifting the Way You Think, which supports emotional wellness and helps people get unstuck through awareness, mindset work, and daily practice. In today's Daily Shift, we explore a powerful and often overlooked question: Are the thoughts you think really yours? Many of the beliefs we carry didn't originate with us—they came from childhood, past relationships, environments that shaped us, or people who projected their own limitations onto us. This episode helps you recognize the difference between your true inner voice and the old voices you've absorbed over time. By learning to separate the two, you take a crucial step toward healing, clarity, and aligning with who you are becoming.

After more than 25 years of practice and 20 years of teaching, Harmony has found herself in a very different relationship with yoga than the one she started with. In this conversation, she sits down with her friend and co-facilitator, Lindsay Johnson, to talk honestly about what happens when a highly structured, discipline heavy practice stops feeling like home to your body. They trace the arc from Ashtanga and power vinyasa into somatic yoga, nervous system literacy, trauma sensitivity, and embodied energetics, and how those worlds are coming together in their new 100 hour Somatic Yoga and Embodied Energy Teacher Training at Yoga Passage in Calgary.  Harmony shares how the dogma and dualism she experienced in traditional Ashtanga left her feeling traumatized and disconnected from her own body's wisdom, even as she continued to teach. Lindsay talks about growing up with medical trauma, discovering yoga as her first physical practice, and how chasing discipline, shapes, and handstands eventually gave way to a longing for freedom, expression, and true safety in her body. Together, they explore somatics as “coming home”: feeling instead of performing, building safety before “doing the work,” honouring the nervous system, and allowing movement, sound, and emotion to express in ways that look far less linear and far more like nature. They also speak directly to yoga teachers and long-time practitioners whose bodies are now saying no to old patterns, and how this training is designed as an initiation and a supplement to existing trainings rather than “just another certification.” If your yoga practice has started to feel like a grind, if your nervous system is already at capacity, or if you are curious about weaving subtle energy work, trauma literacy, and somatic language into the way you teach, this episode is an invitation to reimagine what yoga can be. In This Episode, You'll Hear About When a beloved practice stops working Harmony's honest reflection on feeling traumatized by the dogma and indoctrination around Ashtanga. What it is like when your body keeps saying “no” every time you get on your mat. Why so many midlife practitioners walk away from yoga entirely when the old way stops feeling safe. Lindsay's path through discipline into somatics First teacher training at Yoga Passage back in 2005 and years of teaching linear, disciplined styles like power vinyasa and Ashtanga. How a Saturday power class turned into a somatic class the moment she invited everyone to shake, and never went back. The realization that she had been hypervigilant and disconnected from her body for most of her life, and how somatics helped her come home. Discipline, structure and their limits Why highly structured systems can initially feel like safety for nervous systems shaped by trauma, chaos, or disorganized families. How discipline taught them to cue, hold space, and show up, yet eventually began to feel like a cage rather than support. The shift from “I need to fix myself and prove my worthiness” to “I am already whole, and the practice is about remembering that.” Somatic yoga as nervous system literacy What it means to teach from a felt sense instead of from performance or achievement. Using pendulation, “islands of safety,” and choice to guide students in and out of sensation. Why learning to relax and feel ease is a prerequisite for true regulation and resilience. Trauma sensitivity and language in class How somatic language differs from traditional cueing, especially around choice and autonomy. Giving students sovereignty instead of pushing them into “no pain, no gain” territory. Letting go of rigid bilateral rules and allowing asymmetry, ease, and curiosity to lead. Feminine energy, Kundalini and non-linear movement Reframing vinyasa and “flow” as something guided by breath and sensation, not just choreography. How Kundalini and Shakti express through spirals, oscillations, and organic movement rather than straight lines. The role of self-touch, oxytocin, and nurturing practices in regulating women's nervous systems. Embodied energetics and the subtle body Seeing the body as the densest part of the energetic field, not just a physical object. Working with the chakras, nadis, fascia, and spinal energetics as an integrated map. How teachers can sense the field, notice shifts, and differentiate between “my energy” and “the room.” The 100 Hour Somatic Yoga & Embodied Energy Teacher Training Who it is for: yoga teachers, healers, and coaches with a foundational training who want to go deeper. What it includes: somatic practices, nervous system education, subtle body mapping, trauma sensitive space-holding, and embodied leadership. How the in-person format at Yoga Passage in Calgary supports community, co-regulation, and live practice. About Our Guest: Lindsay Johnson Lindsay Johnson is a yoga teacher, somatic healing practitioner, and trauma-informed facilitator based in Calgary, Alberta. She has been practicing yoga for nearly 20 years and began teaching after her first training at Yoga Passage in 2005. Over the years, she has studied with teachers such as Shiva Rea and Baron Baptiste, taught power vinyasa and Ashtanga, owned her own studio, and eventually returned to Yoga Passage after major life changes in 2020.  Lindsay now focuses on somatic yoga, movement-based therapy, and nervous system literacy, helping students and clients reconnect with their bodies after trauma, burnout, and years of living in their heads. At Yoga Passage, she is listed as a practitioner offering somatic healing in their wellness program and teaches classes, workshops, full moon events, and her signature Soma Movement sessions.  Her work centres on sovereignty, choice, and collective healing. Through shaking practices, floor-based somatic sequences, and careful, choice-based language, Lindsay creates spaces where people can safely feel, express, and integrate their full emotional spectrum. You can find her teaching in person at Yoga Passage and sharing her work online at @lj_heals on Instagram.  Links From This Episode Somatic Yoga & Embodied Energy 100 Hour Teacher Training Hosted at Yoga Passage in Calgary, Alberta Check Yoga Passage's Teacher Training and Workshops pages for details and registration: https://yogapassage.ca Yoga Passage (studio) Website: https://yogapassage.ca Instagram: @yoga.passage Connect with Lindsay Instagram: @lj_heals  Somatic healing offerings at Yoga Passage: Somatic Healing listing on the Therapists page Upcoming events: https://harmonyslater.com/events 21 Day Money Magic Manifestation Challenge: https://community-harmonyslater.com/landing/plans/1542444Use PROMO CODE for additional $20 Savings: MANIFESTATIONMAGIC  FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation FIND Harmony: https://harmonyslater.com/ JOIN the Finding Harmony Community: https://community-harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE 2 min breathwork practice: https://harmonyslater.com/morning-breathwork-optin Find your Spiritual Entrepreneur Archetype!

In this November Month in Review, we look back at three big topics that shape how we think and feel every day: politics, technology, and the balance between our head and our heart. First, we talk about how politics can fill us with fear, stress, and "us vs. them" thinking - and how taking breaks from the news can actually help us feel calmer and think more clearly. Then, with guest Lisa Danahy, we explore how today's fast, noisy technology can overload our brains, leave us tired, and make real connection harder, and why simple things like real conversations, shared meals, and time away from screens help us stay grounded. Finally, we learn how our thoughts and feelings work together, and why it's tough to make good decisions when our emotions are running wild. This month's episodes remind us that even in a busy, stressful world, we can build healthier minds by slowing down, paying attention, and choosing connection over chaos. Tune in to see the November Month in Review Through a Therapist's Eyes.  

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen dig into a topic that's becoming impossible to ignore: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in therapy, including how it's showing up in clinical work, where it can help, and where it crosses the line. They discuss AI's usefulness for administrative tasks or late-night coping support, while exploring the risks of replacing human connection, losing touch with a client's story, and handing sensitive data to unregulated tech.They also break down recent research showing why AI tends to validate endlessly and keep you coming back, and why true healing relies on nonverbal attunement and the therapeutic relationship (something technology can't replicate). Listener questions cover bringing ChatGPT answers into sessions, whether AI makes us more or less lonely, and how therapists can stay curious about clients' AI use while keeping the work grounded in real connection.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

 What Is Daily Shift? Daily Shift is a new mini-series on the Celeste the Therapist podcast. Each short episode is designed to help you shift the way you think, create mental clarity, and move through your day with more intention. This series is part of my larger brand mission, Shifting the Way You Think, which supports emotional wellness and helps people get unstuck through awareness, mindset work, and daily practice.

Navigating Client Crises When Your Own Life Hits Hard Curt and Katie talk about what therapists can do when client crises show up at the exact wrong time—during holidays, illness, personal stress, or overwhelming seasons of life. They explore capacity, boundaries, communication, safety planning, and how to ethically support clients without becoming a 24/7 crisis line. This is a practical, validating look at the realities therapists face when their own lives get complicated. Key Takeaways Therapists can assess capacity and complete a “busyness audit” to stay realistic about bandwidth. Clear communication about availability helps prevent crisis-time misunderstandings. Clients benefit from learning how to reach out with context so you can triage effectively. Safety plans and community resources reduce client over-reliance on the therapist. Therapists can hold boundaries while still supporting clients through crisis moments. Full show notes and transcript are available at mtsgpodcast.com.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comFritz Springmeier is not merely a researcher; he is a living testament to the unbreakable human spirit. For over three decades, armed with nothing but relentless courage, a Bible, and an unshakable conviction that truth is worth any price, he has documented and exposed the most sophisticated system of human enslavement ever devised: Illuminati trauma-based, multi-generational mind control.His masterwork, How the Illuminati Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave, is not a book; it is a rescue beacon. Written with former Illuminati programmer Cisco Wheeler, this monumental exposé is the only public document in history that lays bare the complete architecture of Project MONARCH and its parent programs. With clinical precision and compassionate clarity, Fritz handed the world the actual keys used to lock millions of souls in invisible cages and, more importantly, the keys to set them free. He did not speculate. He published the scripts. He reproduced the survivors' hand-drawn maps of their internal worlds. He named the programmers, the bases, the triggers, and the bloodlines. And then he taught therapists, pastors, and survivors how to dismantle the programming and restore the core person to freedom.The price he has paid has been prophetic in its cruelty. False charges, betrayal by former allies, abandonment by frightened churches, and finally a federal prison sentence that his supporters worldwide recognize as one of the clearest cases of state-sponsored neutralization in modern history. He has boldly declared, “If they can silence me, the information itself becomes the proof.”Today, the tide has turned. High-profile survivors are stepping forward with stories that match Fritz's work in exact detail. Declassified documents confirm the existence of the very programs he was mocked for exposing. Therapists who once dismissed him now use his deprogramming protocols and witness miracles of integration and healing. What the establishment branded “the ravings of a madman” is now acknowledged by thousands of healed survivors as the roadmap that gave them their lives back.Fritz did not fight for applause. He fought for the little girl chained in a cage who had no voice, for the boy forced to watch horrors no child should see, for every soul the world was trained to call “crazy” when they tried to speak the truth. He is living proof that one man, anchored in conscience and armed with truth, can shake the very foundations of hell itself. In a world engineered to keep its deepest crimes invisible, Fritz chose to become the light that could never be extinguishedHistory is being rewritten in real time, and he debt humanity owes him is beyond measure. Because of Fritz, the invisible chains are becoming visible, the undetectable is being detected, and the slaves are coming home. And the battle he began is now being finished by an army of awakened survivors who stand on his shoulders and declare with one voice: We remember. We are healing. We are free. And we will never be silent again. Thank you, Fritz. The truth you carried through the fire is now lighting the way for millions. Your work was never in vain. It was the turning point.ORDER FRITZ'S BOOKS: springmeiermessages@hotmail.com CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comBUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurSupport the show

If you've ever tried Google Ads and felt like you were just lighting your money on fire, you're not alone.  This week, Daniel sits down with John Sanders, founder of RevKey—a digital advertising agency that works exclusively with therapists and mental health professionals—to unpack why so many private practices struggle to make Google Ads work, and what you can do differently. In their conversation, John and Daniel dig into the most common reasons therapists waste money on paid ads.  And it often starts with your private practice's website.  If your site isn't designed to engage visitors and guide them toward action, your ad spend will likely fall flat.  John shares how generic service pages, weak content, and outdated design can tank your results—even if you're paying top dollar for clicks. They also explore why therapists need to be wary of Google's automated campaign recommendations.  What's best for Google's revenue isn't always best for your practice. John explains how his team disables default settings that typically waste money and instead builds tightly targeted campaigns focused on real conversions—not just traffic. This episode also covers the strategic role Google Ads can play for growing group practices. Whether you're launching a new service or need to quickly fill a clinician's caseload, ads can help bridge the gap while your SEO builds momentum.  And with the right tracking and targeting—like setting income levels or geographic focus—you can get more value from every click. If you've been burned by ads before or are thinking about using them to grow your practice, this episode will help you avoid common mistakes and make smarter, more strategic decisions. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why do so many therapists waste money on Google Ads? Many therapists dive into Google Ads without a clear strategy or a website that's designed to convert. Often, the problem isn't the ads themselves—it's that clicks are being sent to generic service pages or poorly designed sites that don't guide visitors toward taking action. Another big issue is relying on Google's default settings, which prioritize Google's revenue over your results. John shares how to avoid these common traps and make sure every dollar is working toward bringing in actual clients. 2. How can I tell if my website is helping or hurting my ad performance? Your website is a critical part of your ad strategy—because if it doesn't connect with your ideal client or clearly guide them toward booking, even the best ad won't convert. John explains how to evaluate time-on-site metrics, user experience, and page content to know whether your site is supporting your ad goals. In competitive markets, the margin for error is smaller, so having engaging, specific, and fast-loading pages is key. 3. When should I use Google Ads vs. investing in SEO? John and Daniel break down how SEO and Google Ads can work together strategically. SEO is a long-term game—it can take months to see results—but it's incredibly valuable for sustainable growth. Ads, on the other hand, can generate leads quickly, which is especially useful when launching new services or hiring new clinicians. The key is understanding your goals and timeline, so you can decide when to run ads, when to focus on organic traffic, and when to do both.

Most people proudly say “the gym is my therapy,” but according to trauma therapist Ashley… this is often a major red flag that someone is actually avoiding their trauma, not healing it.In this powerful episode, we expose how trauma hides inside discipline, fitness routines, overtraining, and even “grind” culture.

The Horn Effect and Autism – Don't Lose You in Counselling Training In Episode 358 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we discuss letting go of the outcome in counselling - why embracing client autonomy matters. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Paula Jones about the Horn Effect and autism - how unconscious bias can shape perceptions of neurodivergent individuals. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken explore not losing yourself in counselling training - staying authentic while growing through your studies. Letting Go of the Outcome in Counselling [starts at 03:18 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore how holding on to an expected outcome can compromise client autonomy and therapeutic presence, highlighting the importance of letting go of the outcome in counselling. Key points discussed include: Fixating on a client's outcome may cause the therapist to override the client's direction or autonomy. Therapy is not linear - clients may change goals or progress in unexpected ways. The BACP and NCPS frameworks emphasise client autonomy and non-directive practice. Supervisors play a key role in helping counsellors identify when they're steering the process. Letting go involves being mindful, present, and trusting the client's self-directed journey. Progress may be subtle or delayed; the therapist's role is to offer presence, not direction. The Horn Effect and Autism [starts at 28:48 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Paula Jones, a neurodivergent leadership consultant and coach, about the Horn Effect and how unconscious bias impacts perceptions of neurodivergent clients. Key points from this conversation include: The Horn Effect is a cognitive bias where one perceived negative trait skews the entire perception of a person. Neurodivergent individuals often experience quick, unjustified judgements in professional and social settings. Misunderstandings can arise from masking, directness, or non-normative behaviours. Paula highlights the need for neurodivergent-sensitive intake processes and safe, accepting therapeutic spaces. Therapists should be aware of their own unconscious biases and create space for clients to be themselves. The interview includes powerful personal experiences and practical suggestions for inclusive practice. Don't Lose You in Counselling Training [starts at 58:43 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore how training can challenge students' sense of self and how to stay grounded through the process. Key points include: Students may feel they need to become someone else to be a good counsellor. Counselling training can feel intense - it's important to maintain perspective. True personal growth enhances who you are rather than replacing your identity. Authenticity is key - it's okay to be yourself and still be professional. Supervision and personal therapy support students in processing and integrating their development. Sarah Henry joins to share insights on navigating authenticity and maintaining your core self during training.

Season 9 continues with a brand-new six-part series, Social Media and You, and Izzy Baker kicks it off on Thanksgiving Day with a conversation that hits home for anyone navigating digital life in 2025. From therapy misconceptions to doomscrolling addiction, Izzy opens the series with licensed professional counselor William Sharp, known online as With the Therapist, to explore the real link between social media and mental health. This one isn't just about apps — it's about attention, identity, and the hidden ways the online world is shaping how we think, feel, and believe. Izzy begins with humor and honesty, setting the tone for a Thanksgiving special that's as relatable as it is revealing.The meme of the week reads: “After being on social media… how's your mental health?” That question drives the episode as Izzy and Will unpack why therapy isn't just “paid advice,” why so many people — especially Black men — still resist counseling, and how misunderstanding therapy keeps communities stuck in cycles of burnout and emotional isolation. Drawing from Angel Reese and Monaleo's viral conversation about therapy, Izzy challenges the myth that “therapists tell you what you want to hear,” and instead highlights how real therapy forces us to confront the truths we've been avoiding.The discussion quickly widens into the bigger picture — how the digital world has become both a tool and a trap. Izzy and Will take a hard look at the rise of AI therapy tools like ChatGPT, the increasing dependence on digital validation, and how men are using online spaces to process pain in unhealthy ways. Will offers professional insight into why comparison culture hits men differently, explaining how purpose, work, and emotional restraint collide under the pressure of social media. Together, they explore what it means to live authentically when your highlight reel becomes your identity — and why so many “high-functioning” men are thriving online while quietly unraveling offline. In the Happy Hour segment, Izzy addresses one of the most controversial trends of the year — using chatbots as substitutes for therapy — and asks the hard question:At what point are we replacing God with technology? Drawing from Matthew 6:22 and Psalm 101:3, he warns listeners about guarding their eye gates and ear gates, breaking down how overstimulation, gossip algorithms, and endless “self-help” content can distort spiritual and emotional clarity. Will adds balance with practical strategies, from setting social media cut-off times to fasting from digital noise to refocus on purpose. The conversation turns deeply personal as the two men share how they've had to guard their peace as both content creators and counselors. Izzy opens up about his own struggles with distraction, comparison, and the temptation to overwork in the name of “purpose.”Will responds with a message on fasting, boundaries, and the freedom that comes from stepping away — even temporarily — to reclaim your mind. They both challenge listeners to examine how much control their phones really have, and to ask: Do you own your feed, or does it own you? By the time the Weekly Sabbatical arrives, the tone turns spiritual. Izzy reads from a reflection on Proverbs 4:20–22, reminding listeners that “what you watch, hear, and meditate on becomes either life or poison to your body.”He connects the scripture to modern habits — the endless scrolling, the comparison traps, and the way entertainment can quietly erode discipline and joy. The challenge of the week is simple but piercing: Do you need a social media fast — and if so, when's the last time you took one? As Thanksgiving unfolds, Izzy leaves the audience with a reminder that gratitude and presence matter more than performance. You don't have to post your plate to prove you're enjoying your blessings. You just have to live them.Listen. Reflect. And don't be afraid to join the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

The Brian Walshe case is one of those situations where the behavior speaks louder than the words. And when the behavior is stacked next to the timeline, the digital searches, and the ever-shifting narratives, the discrepancy becomes the whole story. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down what the psychology reveals — not in theory, but in the real patterns prosecutors say Brian Walshe followed. We're looking at the contrast between everyday lies and the kind of calculated misdirection that reshapes reality for everyone around it. Shavaun brings decades of clinical experience to explain why certain behavioral choices — from early-morning Google searches to inconsistent statements to elaborate cover stories — raise red flags that aren't just “suspicious” but psychologically telling. We analyze how serial deceivers rationalize their actions, why they believe they can outrun the truth, and how they maintain “normalcy” while living a double life. We also unpack the defense's version of events: the claim that Ana Walshe suddenly passed away, that Brian panicked, and that the dismemberment and disposal were responses to shock. Shavaun walks us through what genuine shock looks like, what guilt looks like, and how investigators typically spot the difference. Then we widen the lens: what the psychology says about leaving dangerous relationships, why the time when a partner prepares to leave can be the most volatile, and how betrayal, financial stress, and loss of control can escalate risk in ways friends and family often overlook. If you've ever wondered how trained professionals evaluate credibility, deception, and emotional performance in cases like this, this is the breakdown you need. #HiddenKillers #BrianWalsheCase #DeceptionPsychology #TrueCrimeInsights #ShavaunScott #CrimeBreakdown #CourtAnalysis #AnaWalshe #TrueCrimeDaily #PsychologyUnmasked Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When a debilitating back injury derailed Jesse Prescott's own athletic endeavours over a decade ago, it created in him an obsession with better understanding the root causes of pain, learning how to strengthen his body against future injury, and sharing what he learned with athletes of all ages and abilities. What followed was a journey into the inner workings of movement and performance and a career teaching others how to overcome their own pain and unlock the best version of themselves through his corrective manual therapy practice and strength coaching. Soon, Jesse was working with some of the fastest runners in North America in Flagstaff, Arizona; constantly tweaking and improving his programming to be tailor-made for the needs of runners. Combined with his manual therapy practice, runners began finding a solution to years spent dealing with chronic pain and vicious injury cycles and The Robust Human Project was born. Today, Jesse joins the show to share his unique approach to pain management and his strength training philosophy, one that he believes is at the heart of helping runners of all abilities get healthy, stay healthy, and bring out the best performances of their career.Learn more about Jesse Prescott at The Robust Human Project websiteand on Instagram @the.robust.humanSubscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Thanks to this week's sponsor, CanPrevPrime your preparation, power your performance, and prioritize your post-run recovery with CanPrev.

Check out the collection of fidgets Team Shiny loves! You know that moment when you're doing something hard, painful, or just plain exhausting, and a tiny voice whispers, "Why is this so hard for me?" You're not alone and in this episode we'll break down where that comes from and how to escape the shame spiral.We're joined again by therapist Grace Gautier, a trans woman who works closely with trans and neurodivergent communities. Last week the group cracked open the shame so many of us carry about being “too much” or “not enough” and began to see those traits not as flaws, but as survival strategies. If you haven't heard that one yet, listen here. It's a grounding prequel to this one—especially if you've ever felt like you had to earn your way into belonging. This episode follows that path even deeper! Because once you name the systems that shaped you, the question becomes: now what?It's a conversation about internalized ableism, pushing through pain to prove worth, and the quiet (and sometimes loud) practice of unmasking. Not everywhere. Not all at once. Just somewhere. Together, they unpack:Why we equate doing hard things with being good enoughHow ableism hides in everyday pressure and perfectionismWhat it looks like to stop chasing ease and start honoring honestyThe quiet power of choosing to show up as yourselfIf you've ever felt stuck over performing while quietly falling apart, this conversation might be a the paradigm shift you need.

In today's episode, we're joined by super dad and trauma therapist Brian Hufford, who brings a powerful and refreshing perspective on parenting, connection, and mental health. As a father of six, a grandfather, and a certified trauma professional, Brian has seen firsthand what actually shapes resilient, confident kids—and what truly matters (hint: it's not perfection).We dive into: • why shame and guilt keep moms stuck • how connection outweighs every parenting “rule” • navigating the messy, imperfect parts of raising kids • finding the balance between structure and autonomy • letting go of the pressure to be a “perfect mom” • simple ways to build trust and emotional safety in your homeIf you've ever felt like you're failing, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you're doing this parenting thing “right,” this episode will lift the weight off your shoulders. Brian offers compassionate, research-backed insight that will help you reframe your role, reconnect with your kids, and feel more grounded as a parent.This conversation is validating, encouraging, and full of aha moments you'll carry with you long after you listen.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!
