Podcasts about things we say

The title speaks volumes this week. It's a mission statement.   Kirsty Logan is the master of certain kind of edgy, on-the-margins fiction, Queer in every meaning of the word. She can be witchy and folkloric, or contemporary and cutting edge – and all of that range is showcased in her new collection, No & Other Love Stories.   We talk about female desire and monstrous fantasy, formal experimentation and the personal logic of stories…and some reassuringly unsettling focus on the erotics of human flesh and menstruation.   Don't say we shy away here at Talking Scared.   Enjoy!   Other books mentioned:   Things We Say in the Dark (2019), by Kirsty Logan The Unfamiliar: A Queer Motherhood Memoir (2023), by Kirsty Logan “Skeleton,” by Ray Bradbury (1945), by Ray Bradbury Carrion Crow (2025), by Heather Parry “Tiptoe,” in Not a Speck of Light (2024), by Laird Barron   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 3:1-12. In these verses, James explains the power and danger of our speech. As Christians, our speech should be consistent with what we claim to believe. And yet, so often, our speech reveals that we have a divided heart. But the gospel gives us hope! Because Jesus died for our sins of speech, like every other sin, we can begin to put off our old way of speaking to and we can begin to honor the Lord and others with what we say. 

Have you heard of the wholesome queer Gothic? This is the cool new term that might just explain why so many of us were obsessed with monsters, witches, witches and vampires before we came out of the coffin, uhm, closet. Sarah Faber and Kerstin-Anja Münderlein join me for this spooky special to speak about their favourite Gothic books, games, and tropes, and about the amazing collection they co-edited. Tune in for seasonal reading recommendations and reflections on gender transgressions in Gothic narratives.  References:Rethinking Gothic Transgressions of Gender and Sexuality (Routledge, 2024)Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764)Ann Radcliffe's The Italian (1797) and The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794)Daphne du Maurier's RebeccaNaomi Novik's Uprooted and The ScholomanceK.J.

Hi there Beautiful, "No one will love you until you love yourself" and other harmful things we say like "People treat you how you allow them to treat you", or "you can't love anyone unless you love yourself" can actually cause more harm than good. We end up victim blaming the victim in these scenarios, when they were not the ones at fault. Their only crime was expecting the world to not be a hard and cruel place. Some people are too kind for this world... and that is not their fault. People will treat us how they want to treat us. Let us learn patience, kindness and empathy. Let us teach one another boundaries with grace and kindness. much love, joy and peace, Alecia

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE. We must be willing to admit that we have not inherited a belief system that has taught us that Yahweh's Torah is good and perfect. In fact, we have been taught that Father gave man a Law that he could not keep. In this episode, we will tackle this, and many other, things that we say in ignorance, in regards to properly guarding and preserving (shamar) Father's Torah.

Since the beginning of creation, our lives have been shaped by words spoken to us, over us, at us, and about us. Words, spoken and unspoken, shaped our childhood. They shape our relationships, they've built, undermined, destroyed, and rebuilt marriages. Words spoken to us, at us, over us, have impacted our confidence. So much so, that they determined to some extent who we actually see in the mirror. How heavy were the words spoken to you? How heavy are the works you speak? Today, we have the privilege of hosting an extraordinary guest who understands the impact of self-limiting beliefs on women's aspirations and their ability to unlock their true potential. Through her unwavering dedication, she has committed herself to empowering women, assisting them in conquering obstacles, and fostering the unshakable confidence necessary to establish thriving businesses that align with their dreams. Prepare to be inspired as we delve into the remarkable journey of Kate Butler—a remarkable entrepreneur and digital marketing strategist—exploring the profound influence of transformative words that have shaped her destiny, guiding her towards becoming the extraordinary individual she is today. Moreover, she sheds light on the significance of mindfulness in our language and the art of managing the power of our words. Don't miss this opportunity to glean invaluable insights from a true visionary. Tune in and prepare to be uplifted. Words, spoken and unspoken, carry weight. Leave marks for the good.

How many times have you said you'd do something only to cop out at the last minute, because it's all too hard? Host Amelia Phillips and psychologist Lyn Worsley discuss why it is that some people seem to have this steely resolve to sit with discomfort, and others don't. They delve deep into Mums who feel like they've lost their energy, their identity is and their sense of self. They discuss building resilience in not just the big stuff, but in the small daily acts (eg saying no to the cheese and biccies). Is resilience something we are born with or can we build it up like a muscle?  Tedx Talk on Resilience: The ThreeSecrets of Resilient People with Lucy Hone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWH8N-BvhAw  About the guest: Lyn Worsley is a clinical psychologist and the director of The Resilience Centre, has dedicated decades to researching resilience in adults and children, has written multiple books on the topic and developed a fantastic model called the resilience doughnut to help us be more resilient and raise resilient kids.

 Are we saying the wrong things to our kids about the divorce??? Probably!! We think we are saying good healthy things to help our kids thru the divorce, but are we? I know we are just human and we are trying our best. But it is hard, we are stressed, emotional and have never been thru this before, so we are struggling to say the right things and hope that we are. We want to have our kids get thru this devastating life changing with as little trauma as possible.  Our research department found information from psychologists on what are some phrases we are saying to our kids that we need to stop! I guarantee that we have and maybe still are saying some of these. Lets dig in: “Your dad” or “Your mom” – that tiny addition of the word “your” creates otherness in the family. If you are now saying “your” the child is now hearing a separateness in who they are connecting with. Divorce does create changes in the family dynamic, but honoring how the child sees the parent can help keep a sense of cohesion.   Nix the “your”.  “The Situation” – You are talking with your friend and the kids are in the room and she brings up “The Situation” and how “The Situation” is affecting everyone.  “When you speak in code, it makes it seem like something sinister is going on.” The more you try to obfuscate what's happening, the more anxious and curious your kids may become. “  Say instead – There are ways to explain divorce that is less abstract. You could even mention people they know who are divorced. “It's not about you” - When your instinct is to keep your children from thinking they're to blame for the divorce, this probably feels like a totally logical and constructive response. But according to Dr. Rubenstein, this phrase isn't specific enough to quell the “well then what caused it?!” anxieties, because for kids, something had to cause it.“Children have active imaginations and can conjure many scenarios that have nothing to do with the       cause of the divorce,” she tells us. “It's not about you” also negates the fact that the divorce very much        involves your kids, which, Dr. Rubenstein explains, can wind up complicating your child's feelings and experiences and what they're willing to share with you.Say instead – You can explain that mom and dad are not getting along and don't feel they can resolve it. Grown ups have adult issues that sometimes cannot be solved, as hard as they try. “This is a good thing” – Sure,it might be a good thing for the family in the long term, but from a child's persepective…not so much. This phrase sweeps their pain under the rug. “Almost every child wants their parents to be together under one roof. Even if one parent has addiction issues, anger issues, or other things a child can observe, most children want to believe in the fairytale that somehow things will all work out. It is challenging for them to see divorce as a benefit,” Say instead – Acknowledge that this is really, really hard on everyone! That your decisions was a last resort made to have the children grown up in a home without fighting or discord.  “You will get double everything! – While this is true, most kids want two parents in the home instead of more things. This is another example of minimizing your child's feelings, even thought it done out of your desire to protect them.  Say instead – Emphasize that they will get more quality time with each parent individually. Get them excited about decorating a new room. Get their feedback on their new accomodations. “Not much will change” – This is  lie. And if you tell children a lie, they are less likely to trust you in the future. “For a child, their world is forever changed.”Say instead – Be honest that things will change, but that change is sometimes good. Yes they will miss certain traditions of family structures, but play up the realistic advantages they can expect. They will model your behavior and reactions in the face of change and learn resiliency.Lemonade moment of the weekValentines Day auction adds more neighbor kids.

Listen in as Michael and Eric talk about different phrases we repeat around Grace Rancho. Theme Song: "Feed the Fire" by Dawes. Published October 26, 2022.

In this episode host Chris Wszalek and guest star Jessica Wszalek share a top 10 list of "Things we say to our kids that we never thought we would." This list is inspired by the responses they give SAL (Sophie, Ava, and Leah) due to their behaviors, or in response to the things they say at 6,4, and 2 years old.

In this episode, we are reading James 1. We discuss how we, as Christians, need to go out in the world and do good, not because we have to in order to be saved, but because we are saved, we want to do good. Once we are done reading, I will be answering a few questions from my audience including how to deal with hate as Christians.
