A private island. A children's charity. A grass airstrip in the middle of Lake Michigan. What could possibly go wrong? This week we dive into the slow-burn nightmare of North Fox Island — how vulnerable kids were lured to a place cut off from the world, how everything unraveled, and why the most important questions were never answered. This one gets heavy.SponsorsGet access to your money, today!! Download the EARNIN app and tell them Brohio sent you!!Therapy is an absolute GAME CHANGER!!

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. Guest Info Colette Jane Fehr Couples therapist, speaker, podcast host, and author of The Cost of Quiet, releasing February 2026 https://www.colettejanefehr.com/new-book.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses Jehoshaphat and how God gives you the strength to fulfill your calling, but not God's work. What are your thoughts on a boy under age 6 years old who wants to wear a princess dress at his cousin's house and asks to put on makeup for play? How can I help my 27-year-old son find a stable job? He is living at home and has a felony record. I joined a church and told the pastor I wanted to get involved in outreach, but I haven't heard back.

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! And if you're not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.     Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we're “so over”.     Rant Therapy: Master Bartenders   Thank you for listening to Rant Therapy on the Happy Eating Podcast.

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.

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. This is the perfect toolkit for the "Freeze" response, high-functioning anxiety, and neurodivergent listeners who struggle with stillness.In this 10-minute guided session, you will learn:The Adrenaline Shake: How to physically discharge trapped stress and cortisol from your muscles.Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Using the "Voo" sound (vocal vibration) to apply the parasympathetic brake.Orienting: A visual technique to break the tunnel vision of anxiety and signal safety to the primal brain.The Physiological Sigh: The fastest breathing pattern to reduce stress in real-time.Why this works: When you are in "fight or flight," your body is flooded with chemicals. You cannot think them away; you have to move them away. Join Martin for this short, powerful session to shake off the worry and feel the shift from frozen to flowing.Feeling the shift?

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!

Tis a new year my friends and honestly, it's the same shit. In this episode, I get super vulnerable you guys. I even go a little Tony Robbins on ya...I will say I'm super proud of myself for what I did in 2025 when it came to my health and wellness. I went IN trying to get my physical health and mental health back on track. Like GLP-1s, I did Ketamine, back to working out consistently, bible study, being present with my babies, changing up career paths, getting grief coach and educator certified, finding that balance with motherhood and grief, and just trying to get ME back...Well it was tough but I made it and I am proud but no one talks about that "Dig Out"...Where you have to consistently dig yourself out of a dark place all the time. It's honorable and shitty but we have to do it. I dive into this phenomena in hopes to hype you up and share that it's hard for me too.This is real life, I'm always honest with y'all and I always will be.Hope this helps mama

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Sharise Nance. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Sharise Nance’s mission in mental health advocacy, entrepreneurship, and workplace wellness. To discuss her companies: Hand in Hand Counseling Services – addressing mental health disparities in Black communities. Vitamin C Healing – building trauma-sensitive, wellness-centered workplace cultures. To educate on stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and financial equity in the mental health field. Key Takeaways Hand in Hand Counseling Services Founded with college roommate Tess Kenny in Pittsburgh. Created a safe space for mental health support in underserved communities. Celebrating 12 years in operation. Breaking Mental Health Stigma Built trust through community presence and transparency. Advocated therapy as normal: “I’m a therapist who has a therapist.” Education on what therapy is and isn’t. Understanding Stress Eustress (positive stress) vs. Distress (overwhelming stress). Physical signs: sweating, rapid heartbeat, tense shoulders, jaw clenching. Stress can lead to depression and anxiety—seek professional help. Impact of COVID-19 Isolation amplified mental health issues. Introduced concept of co-regulation—healing through community and connection. Vitamin C Healing Originated from her book Vitamin C Healing for the Mind, Body. Evolved into a brand offering workshops, consultations, and burnout assessments. Focused on helping professionals and leaders prevent compassion fatigue. Financial Equity in Mental Health Advocates for fair pay: “We can care deeply and earn abundantly.” Challenges the mindset that passion work means low income. Encourages professionals to set boundaries and value their expertise. Burnout & Organizational Cost Unaddressed burnout costs companies millions annually. Leads to quiet quitting, low productivity, and high turnover. Investing in wellness saves money and improves culture. Personal Journey Biggest bet: leaving full-time job in 2017 to pursue entrepreneurship. Therapy helped her navigate fear and grief (especially after losing her father). Quote: “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” Notable Quotes “We can care deeply and earn abundantly.” “I’m a therapist who has a therapist.” “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” “We heal when we are in community—it’s hard to heal in isolation.” “Compassion fatigue isn’t just a feel-good topic; it costs companies millions.” “Betting on myself was the best investment I ever made.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui reminds us that the divisions in our churches are not as God intended. My adult son believes whatever his narcissistic father tells him—should I tell my son the truth? This is my third marriage, and my husband threatens to leave whenever we get into an explosive argument—how do I handle it? Both of my parents tried to kill me; how does this childhood trauma affect me today as an adult?

We read emails from listeners, including one about us being doxed again.Link to BOOKS — System SpeakNOTE:  We also talked in the community about how the year of the horse does not start until later in the winter due to following the lunar calendar.  For me/us, that coincides with my "new year" (birthday, actual, not when celebrated) as well as our "new year" from when we moved last time (which brought the celebration back to actual). That led to a greater discussion about other cultures that also follow the lunar calendar, including both indigenous and Jewish calendars (with a new year in the fall instead of winter).  We talked about how sometimes “jumping calendars” can be helpful when dealing with hard days or anniversaries.Article about Hebrew calendar: Hebrew calendar - WikipediaArticle about Indigenous calendar: Samish 13 MoonsOur website is HERE:  System Speak Podcast.You can submit an email to the podcast HERE.Content Note: Content on this website and in the podcasts is assumed to be trauma and/or dissociative related due to the nature of what is being shared here in general.  Content descriptors are generally given in each episode.  Specific trigger warnings are not given due to research reporting this makes triggers worse.  Please use appropriate self-care and your own safety plan while exploring this website and during your listening experience.  Natural pauses due to dissociation have not been edited out of the podcast, and have been left for authenticity.  While some professional material may be referenced for educational purposes, Emma and her system are not your therapist nor offering professional advice.  Any informational material shared or referenced is simply part of our own learning process, and not guaranteed to be the latest research or best method for you.  Please contact your therapist or nearest emergency room in case of any emergency.  This website does not provide any medical, mental health, or social support services. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.

Thinking about starting therapy? Or just beginning your healing journey?Before you dive in, there's something most people are never told. In the first few weeks of therapy, emotions can intensify, old memories can resurface, and you may feel worse instead of better. This is known as the activation dip — and it's not a failure. It's a sign that your mind is beginning real change. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf, clinical neuroscientist and mental health expert, explains the science behind why therapy can feel harder at first, what's happening in your brain during emotional healing, and how to move through this phase without quitting too soon. You'll learn how to recognize the difference between productive discomfort and burnout, how to stay regulated during emotional activation, and how to set yourself up for lasting transformation from day one.
