In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, hosts Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Bobby Ahlander for an expansive and deeply human conversation about suffering, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Bobby shares his journey growing up in a rigid religious environment marked by instability and fear, living much of his adult life on “autopilot,” and eventually reaching a breaking point that included leaving the Church, divorce, job loss, and a prolonged season of depression with suicidal ideation.Through therapy, psychiatry, EMDR, Buddhist study, and eventually plant medicine, Bobby describes the slow and nonlinear rebuilding of his inner world. He introduces a personal “numbers” framework that helped him track emotional states — from survival, to “fine,” to happiness, joy, bliss, and ultimately a state he later names cosmic union. At the heart of this conversation is the embodied realization that arrived not through force or fixing, but through surrender: peace feels good.Timestamps [01:10] Introducing Bobby Ahlander and the theme “peace feels good”[04:05] Childhood in a conservative religious home marked by instability[08:45] Learning invisibility, safety, and survival as a child[14:55] Living adulthood on “autopilot” and inherited identity scripts[20:15] Becoming a bishop and the weight of enforcing institutional rules[25:35] LGBTQ+ policy conflict and values colliding with authority[31:50] Leaving the Church, divorce, and relocation all at once[36:40] Wiping the slate clean and questioning every belief[41:05] First acts of autonomy and reclaiming personal choice[46:00] Discovering Buddhism and non-dual thinking[51:40] First psilocybin experience and expanded awareness[58:45] COVID, job loss, unhealthy relationship, and emotional collapse[01:05:40] Suicidal ideation and surviving for his children[01:12:30] Therapy, medication, and the “numbers” emotional scale[01:20:10] Ayahuasca: opening a door that never closes[01:27:30] Integration, healing, and learning to live at “fine”[01:33:40] Oregon coast turning point and happiness returning[01:38:10] Discovering joy, bliss, and something beyond the scale[01:41:00] Embodied peace, “peace feels good,” and what comes next[01:41:58] Closing message and listener invitationNotable Quotes“You have just opened a door that can never close again.” — Scott Webb (quoted by Bobby Ahlander) [00:36:08]“I don't want to die, but I don't want to be alive.” — Bobby Ahlander [00:31:58]“The whole choice to awake puts you on a path.” — Scott Wright [01:13:33]“So we honor you for being there and being able to express that.” — LaRae Wright [01:29:42]“The cost of the new is the old.” — Scott Wright [01:32:36]“Turbulence is just a reminder you're flying.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:34:42]“You will continue to suffer until you've learned the lesson that the suffering is trying to teach you.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:38:18]“This is peace.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:23:57]“Peace feels good.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:25:01]Relevant LinksBobby's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobbyahlander/Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts

On today's Witness Wednesday, Dr. Greg Gifford joins Todd Friel at the University of North Georgia to field questions on faith, mental health, and therapy. Dr. Gifford brings his expertise in the field of Biblical Counseling to challenge students on their ideas about therapy and medication. Segment 1: • Todd and Greg confront the popular “Jesus and therapy” trend, urging students to consider the sufficiency of Christ alone. • Learn the critical difference between therapists who integrate worldly psychology and those who stand on Scripture. • Real hope comes when sin is called what it is: something Christ can actually set you free from. Segment 2: • Greg is asked why he didn't address abuse and Trauma. Abuse and deep wounds deserve more than 20-minute treatments; Scripture speaks to them with care and power. • Biblical counseling doesn't ignore pain—it applies truth to the heart and brings real healing. • Discover why people often say “I've read this verse 100 times, but now it hits different.” Segment 3: • A student asks, “Has Christ ever restored your hope personally?” • Todd shares his childhood anxiety and how Jesus completely redefined his fears. • Don't underestimate the power of a local church and Scripture applied directly to your hardest questions. Segment 4: • One student wrestles with surrendering fear—and Todd & Greg dig deep. • Multiple students ask about anxiety, humility, and Bible reading. • Anxiety fades when truth replaces lies, which happens when we fill our mind with God's word and are transformed. Don't just check boxes; use Scripture to engage your heart and fight your sin. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Send us a textThe badge asks for everything, then hands you a shift change and a smile. We sat down with returning guest,  licensed clinical social worker Alexis Silva, to dig into the quiet realities behind the uniform: why trust is scarce, why stigma is sticky, and how substance use becomes a steady companion long before it becomes a crisis. Alexis works almost exclusively with first responders, military, and veterans, and brings her own sobriety and family experience to the table. That honesty opens a door many are afraid to touch—because careers are on the line, documentation feels risky, and walking into a room where you don't have to translate the language of the job can be the difference between shutting down and speaking up.We break apart common myths: not every struggle is trauma from the job; for many, it starts with childhood adversity, genetics, and family patterns. Alcohol, THC, and benzos promise relief and steal sleep, fueling irritability, poor decisions, and conflict at home. We unpack the tipping point where use shifts from choice to maintenance—when your body drives the next drink—and why matching care to risk matters. Sometimes inpatient comes first, then outpatient therapy and groups, so progress isn't crushed by daily stress. We also go beyond substances to behavioral addictions like gambling, tracing how the chase hooks into the same adrenaline circuits that make first responders so good under pressure.Across the hour, we map practical steps you can use today: how to assess risk without shame, how to reset routines every few career years, what honest partner check-ins sound like, and how peer support and culturally competent clinicians reduce fear of being “the problem” at the station. If you've wondered whether your coping is helping or hiding, this conversation offers a clear path forward—grounded, direct, and built for people who don't have time for fluff.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review to help other first responders find it.

On this first Episode of Season 6 of Kat on the Loose, I sit down with Todd Baratz, also known on social media as Your Diagnonsense. Todd is a licensed therapist and licensed sex therapist with a massive following on social media, and he's known for his no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point advice on dating, relationships, and emotional patterns.Todd has built his platform by saying the things most people are afraid to say—and honestly, need to hear. He doesn't sugarcoat, he doesn't enable bad behavior, and he doesn't get lost in excuses. Instead, he helps people take real accountability, understand their attachment styles, and stop repeating the same relationship cycles over and over again.In this conversation, we talk about modern dating, boundaries, emotional availability, sex, intimacy, and why so many people stay stuck in relationships that don't actually serve them. There were moments that were eye-opening, challenging, and incredibly validating all at the same time.If you've ever felt confused by dating, frustrated by mixed signals, or tired of hearing soft advice that leads nowhere, this episode is for you. Todd brings clarity, honesty, and a refreshing level of truth that will absolutely make you think—and probably rethink a few things about your love life.This is one of those episodes that stays with you long after it ends!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Craig and I introduce a new rapid fire segment where we put a licensed therapist in the hot seat. No long explanations. No therapy jargon. Just quick, honest takes on mental health, emotions, relationships, masculinity, and the chaos of modern culture. We touch on common therapy myths, social media psychology, emotional regulation, boundaries, and where personal responsibility actually fits into the healing conversation. There's humor, some uncomfortable truths, and a few moments that might challenge how you think about "healing." This segment is fast paced, unfiltered, and meant to separate real growth from excuses. If you've ever wondered whether you're actually doing the work or just labeling everything, this episode is for you.   Join Our New Year's Weight Loss Challenge  (Starts January 12th) - Learn More Here   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri discusses why we should offer words of affirmation to those around us. It's really important to me to stand up for what I believe is right, but I received backlash after attending an event and speaking up. Should I help my daughter and son-in-law's marriage? My son-in-law says she is showing symptoms of borderline personality disorder, similar to my ex-wife. I can't let go of the feeling that it was my fault my 22-year-old son died by suicide in 2011. I live daily with the belief that I passed on my depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

They discuss the study design, oximetry outcomes across multiple saturation thresholds, inflammatory biomarkers including TNF-α, and clinically relevant safety signals such as oxygen restart rates, length of stay, and weight gain.

Her background in taekwondo emerges as a defining force, helping her build mental toughness, confidence, and the ability to stand firm in environments that demand constant self-advocacy.

Zach sits down with couples therapist and author Colette Jane Fehr and her husband Steve Fehr for a candid conversation about second marriage, difference, repair, and what therapy really does—and doesn't—solve. Colette and Steve met later in life after very different first marriages and divorces. She's an emotionally expressive, extroverted therapist from New York; he's a reserved, analytical CPA from Kentucky. On paper, they couldn't be more different—but from their first night talking for hours at a diner, something clicked. They talk openly about blending families with four teenage daughters, the strain that season put on their marriage, and how therapy became not a last resort but an ongoing resource. Steve reflects on learning—slowly—to speak up before resentment builds, while Colette names her own pattern of over-explaining and chasing understanding when she feels disconnected. The conversation explores how repair actually works in real marriages: who apologizes first, why pauses matter, how shame gets in the way, and why growth is measured in years—not moments. They also share what they're navigating now: demanding careers, a major book launch, and the need to reinvest in their relationship after a season of borrowing against it. This episode is an honest look at what long-term partnership looks like when both people stay willing to learn, practice, and keep showing up—imperfectly. Key Takeaways Therapy isn't a referee – Real change happens when each person does their own work, not when someone “wins.” Quiet creates distance – Avoiding small conversations leads to resentment and emotional shutdown. Pausing prevents damage – Taking space can be protective when emotions run hot. Repair matters more than perfection – Apologies don't require total agreement—just ownership. Different nervous systems need different timing – One partner may need space while the other seeks immediate connection. Growth is gradual – Being better than five years ago counts—and so does staying open to future growth. Relationships require reinvestment – Work seasons drain connection unless time and intention are restored.

What happens when a long pastoral calling ends, friendships fade, and the church faces cultural fracture? Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer (42 years in ministry at Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, CA) joins Mark Labberton for a searching conversation about retirement from pastoral ministry, loneliness, leadership, and the meaning of credible witness in the Black church today. "Ministry can be a lonely business." In this episode, Bishop Ulmer reflects on the stepping away after four decades of pastoral leadership, navigating aloneness, disrupted rhythms, and the spiritual costs of transition. Together they discuss pastoral loneliness, friendship and grief, retirement and identity, church leadership after elections, authenticity versus attraction, political division in congregations, and whether the church still centers Jesus. Episode Highlights "Ministry can be a lonely business." "[Boy, pointing to a church] Is God in there? [Pastor] Sometimes I wonder." "There's a Moses in you that will see farther than you'll go." "The tension is authenticity versus attraction." "Jesus is the answer for the world today." About Kenneth C. Ulmer Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer is Bishop Emeritus of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, California, where he served as senior pastor for more than four decades. A nationally respected preacher, civic leader, and mentor, Ulmer played a significant role in the spiritual and economic life of Los Angeles, including the preservation of the Forum as a major community asset. He has been a prominent voice in conversations about the Black church, urban ministry, and faithful Christian leadership amid cultural and political change. Ulmer continues to teach, preach, and advise leaders while reflecting publicly on vocation, aging, and wisdom in ministry.

Absence of trusted friends exposing a deep relational void Final sermon titled "I Did My Best," echoing 2 Timothy imagery and the words on Kenneth Ulmer's father's grave "I fought a good fight" as closing vocational reflection Disrupted spiritual rhythm after forty-one years of weekly preaching "My rhythm is off." Identity shaped by Sunday coming "every seven days" Question of where and how to worship after stepping away Public recognition colliding with uncertainty about purpose Therapy as a faithful response to grief and transition Energy and health without a clear channel for vocation Question of "what do you do now?" after leadership ends Seeing farther than you will go as a leadership reality Deuteronomy 34 and Moses viewing the Promised Land "There's a Moses in you that will see farther than you'll go." Passing vision to a Joshua who will go farther than he can see Grief of cheering from the sidelines while no longer on the field Wrestling with authenticity versus attraction in church leadership John 12:32 and the tension of lifting up Jesus to draw others "The tension is authenticity versus attraction." Fear of entertainment, production, and celebrity eclipsing Christ Question of whether churches are built on preaching or personality Political polarization dividing congregations and pulpits Question pastors must ask: "Who am I going to be after this ballot?" Kingdom identity beyond donkey or elephant, only the Lamb "Holding up the bloodstained banner" as faithful witness Doors of the church open—how wide are they, and for whom? Concern for credibility after the benediction and after the election Civic engagement without surrendering theological center Preserving community good beyond church walls and buildings Forum purchase as economic stewardship, not church expansion Question of whether God is still "in that house" How much of the God inside gets outside into the neighborhood? Jesus as the enduring answer amid cultural confusion Worship song, "We Offer Jesus" "Jesus in the morning, Jesus at noonday, Jesus in the midnight hour." Call to be the extended incarnation in ordinary life: "You are the temple."

Send us a textThis episode is a masterclass in doing the work even when you feel like absolute garbage. Kathy Charles didn't come into my program feeling motivated, hopeful, or even remotely excited about fitness. She came in depressed, deep in menopause, dealing with grief, vertigo, an injured knee, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that makes brushing your hair feel optional.And yet… she showed up.Kathy didn't wake up one day magically inspired. She started when she was grumpy, resistant, and fully prepared to hate me during workouts. She modified everything. She half-assed it when that was all she had. She swore at the screen. And she kept going anyway.In this conversation, Kathy shares how therapy helped clear what she calls the “traffic jam” in her brain so she could start taking care of herself again, why mental health support wasn't optional for her progress, and how structure, not motivation, helped her rebuild trust with herself.She lost 50 pounds and 44 inches, yes. But more importantly, she got her energy, confidence, and sense of badassness back. She zip-lines. She shovels snow. She plans bike trips. She lives in a body she trusts again.This episode is proof that you don't need to feel good to start. You just need to start.What's Inside:You don't need motivation. You need momentum. Kathy started when she felt awful and let consistency do the heavy lifting.Mental health and physical health are not separate. Therapy cleared the path so habits could stick.Modifying is not failing. It is how progress actually happens, especially when your body has limits.Habits don't disappear when life gets hard. They are what carry you through it.Kathy's story is such a powerful reminder that progress doesn't come from perfection. It comes from showing up as you are, even when you're cranky, tired, grieving, or over it. You don't need to do it all. You just need to keep doing something.If this episode hit home for you, DM me on Instagram and tell me what your version of a “grumpy workout” looks like right now. I want to hear it.Mentioned in This Episode:Join the 28 Day Transformation WaitlistOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life!

In this clinically grounded episode of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, Kayleigh is joined by Kina Wolfenstein, LCSW, therapist, educator, and certified trainer in Coherence Therapy, for a deep dive into a lesser-known but incredibly powerful trauma modality.Together, they explore what coherence therapy is, how it differs from more familiar approaches like EMDR, CBT, and IFS, and why it can be especially effective for birth trauma, medical trauma, and complex attachment wounds.Kina explains how coherence therapy views symptoms not as pathology, but as coherent responses rooted in emotional learnings and how true healing happens through memory reconsolidation, an innate brain process that allows those learnings to be updated at the root.This episode speaks directly to survivors who say, “I understand why I feel this way, but nothing changes,” and to clinicians looking for more precise, bottom-up tools for trauma healing.In this episode, we discuss:✨ What coherence therapy is and why so few people have heard of it

What if the way you pay is part of the therapy? Some psychoanalytic therapists ask for cash after each session—not for convenience, but because money itself reveals emotional truth. Forgetting to pay, overpaying, or haggling can uncover hidden dynamics worth exploring. Vessy explains how two sessions a week can go far deeper than one and why honest talk about fees is as essential as discussing feelings. When money enters the room, therapy gets real—and that's where lasting change begins. #MoneyInTherapy #PsychoanalyticTherapy #FinancialTherapy #TherapyInsights #EmotionalDynamics #MoneyPsychology #TherapyProcess #BehindTheTherapyRoom #TherapeuticRelationship #HealingPatterns #DeepTherapyWork #MoneyMindset #EmotionalAwareness #TherapeuticChange #ExploringFeelings #TherapyConversation #MentalHealthPodcast #InnerWork #UnderstandingYourself #TherapyJourney A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul! In this episode, Michael John Cusick and Julianne Cusick dive deep into the world of intensive counseling, unpacking what makes Restoring the Soul's approach unique and transformative. You'll hear about the practical structure of their intensives—meeting with individuals and couples in three-hour blocks over one or two weeks—and what sets this method apart from traditional weekly counseling. They explore the importance of stepping away from daily life to create space for profound healing, the individualized attention each client receives, and the holistic integration of soul care, psychological expertise, and contemplative spiritual practices.Throughout their candid conversation, Michael shares stories of how Restoring the Soul began, while Julianne offers reflections on the power of holding sacred space for clients' stories. If you've ever wondered what intensive counseling really means, or how a focused, custom-tailored process can spark breakthroughs in just two weeks, this episode will give you clarity and inspiration.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses how to stop reacting and learn to start responding. How do you get your adult voice, like Marc talks about in Understanding Your Attachment Style? My parents never modeled it. How do I find connection after my sister was murdered? I’ve thought about suicide and think I should’ve been shot instead of her. I'm almost 60 years old and have such severe anxiety that I think I'm going to be put away; can you give me some direction?

Does traditional meditation feel impossible when you're anxious? If you've ever sat down to meditate while panicked, only to find your heart racing and thoughts spinning, you aren't doing it wrong. You are simply trying to solve a body problem with your mind.In this special episode of Calming Anxiety, Martin guides you through a "Bottom-Up" Somatic Reset. Instead of thinking your way to calm, we use biological mechanics to signal safety directly to your nervous system.

In this eye-opening episode, we explore one of the most exciting shifts in modern mental health: the discovery that mental health is deeply rooted in metabolic health. When the brain's energy supply falters, everything from mood to memory to emotional resilience can be affected — and new research is revealing how nutrition and lifestyle can restore balance. Our guest, Moira Newiss, is a BANT-registered nutritional therapist, health coach, and accredited ketogenic metabolic therapy expert who specializes in brain energy — a newly recognized root cause of many mental health challenges. Moira helps clients understand what's happening in their biology and guides them through simple, practical changes that spark real transformation. Her work is grounded in hope, clarity, and the belief that people can not only feel better but truly get their lives back on track. Together, we unpack how ketogenic diets can provide a cleaner, more efficient fuel source for the brain through ketones, helping stabilize brain energy and improve mental well-being. Moira also explains why diet is only one piece of the puzzle — and how sleep, light, movement, and stress balance each play essential roles in optimizing brain metabolism.     Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Click here. Subscribe if you'd like to catch all new episodes live and participate with our guests directly.   Want to learn more about becoming an FDN? Go to fdntraining.com/resources to get our best free workshops and mini-courses!
