What happens when one person is willing to grow and the other isn't, why growth should be an invitation rather than an ultimatum, and why sometimes the most important thing your partner needs from you isn't perfection — it's your willingness to lean in. In this episode, I sit down with Bryan Reeves to talk about what changes in the second half of life and why the rules that got us here may not be the same ones that carry us forward. We also get into men's loneliness, why so many men wait until life or a relationship falls apart before asking for support, and how the need to be the hero can keep us isolated. We also talk about becoming fathers later in life, how pregnancy can expose old wounds and patterns in a relationship, and why presence may matter more than getting everything right. In this episode, we talk about: Why the second half of life requires a different kind of ambition When achievement and success stop feeling like enough Meaning, impact, and the temptation to become cynical Why so many men feel lonely even when they're surrounded by people The “hero” mindset and hyper-independence Why men often wait for a crisis before asking for help What to do when you want to work on your relationship and your partner doesn't Relationship as invitation instead of obligation Resentment and the importance of speaking up before it's too late How pregnancy can expose deeper wounds in a relationship Becoming a father later in life Why being present matters more than being perfect Thanks for listening.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' season opener, the early injury issues, previewed tonight's game, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' injury news that came out today, including Ryan Nugent-Hopkins being out for a couple of weeks and Matt Savoie being upwards of eight weeks away. Toss in the fact that Jason Dickinson also isn't ready to go, and you've got a whole lot of bad news piling up before the season has even started. Needless to say, hearing that so many key players are out of the lineup already is... less than ideal.Shifting gears, the guys turned the podcast to Tuesday's season opener against Vancouver, starting with Tristan Jarry getting the start and the newly formed line combinations after all of these injuries. While injuries can happen at any time in the NHL, it's not exactly great that all of Edmonton's plans they had for their lineup in the offseason are already being shifted around.Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk before wrapping up the podcast with a round of Baggedmilk's Trivia and score predictions ahead of the home opener. After waiting around for months to finally get going, the boys were excited about having the season get going even if it's starting with some dire news regarding 30% of the team's top six. Either way, the NHL is back and there is nothing better than the start of a fresh hockey season.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Following the latest Woodsboro murders, Sam, Tara, and their friends relocate to New York City, but soon discover there's a new killer picking up the Ghostface murders.Scream VI is the finale of Sequel September 2026 and although there's a change of scenery from Woodsboro, the killings continue and Ghostface resurfaces. Sam, Tara, Mindy, and Chad are now in New York City, navigating a slew of new murders that are continuing where Ghostface left off. With a string of new friends, returning victims, and motives, everyone is a suspect. We're happy to see this film reprises the same style as the other Scream movies with success by continuing to mix in horror movie tropes and tie in the evolution of horror movies within its narrative. Although thematically there is some repetition, the writing overall remains clever and the mystery is exciting.

The biggest car-carrying ships on the planet. A chip-testing rig that weighs as much as a small elephant. Investment manager Alex Summers takes us inside some of emerging markets' least-watched growth companies to explain how his team sees what others have missed. “Often, the crowd is going to be right,” he acknowledges, but when it's not, long-termism, access to management and asking different questions are key to how his team determines investment opportunities. Background:Alex Summers is co-manager of our Emerging Markets Leading Companies Fund, an investment manager in our Emerging Markets Equity Team and a member of the International Growth Portfolio Construction Group.In this conversation, he tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion why one of his team's guiding principles is that before investing in a company, he and his colleagues must be able to articulate the critical uncertainty about a stock and why others may be wrong. “Often, you can observe something about a company, and it may be true,” he explains. “But if everybody else believes that, you're not going to create any additional outperformance by owning those companies.” Companies discussed include:Hyundai Glovis – the logistics company that's invested in a dozen ultra-sized ships and now sees an opportunity in transporting spent electric vehicle batteriesChroma ATE – the test-equipment company whose customised cabinets provide critical checks for NVIDIA and NasaSilergy – the mainland China-based semiconductor company specialising in power-management chipsReliance Industries – India's most valuable company and its heavy investment in solar panels, green hydrogen and battery storage systemsToss – the South Korean financial super-app that provides banking, payment and ecommerce services Resources:Baillie Gifford websiteEmerging Markets Leading Companies FundEmerging markets: from imitators to innovators (video)Emerging markets: the next engines of global growthShort Briefings on Long Term Thinking podcast archiveWhen consensus fails Companies mentioned include:·       Chroma ATE·       Hyundai Glovis·       Meituan·       NVIDIA·       PB Fintech·       Reliance Industries·       Samsung Electronics·       Silergy·       SK hynix·       Talabat·       Toss·       TSMCTimecodes (audio version):00:00 Introduction01:45  From Toronto to Edinburgh02:35 A lesser-covered class of companies03:35 Taking a five-to-10-year view04:15  Forming non-consensus views05:35 Hyundai Glovis and EV batteries07:10  Corporate governance reform in South Korea09:30 Getting access to senior leaders11:50   Chroma ATE's chip-testing equipment14:50  Building conviction in Silergy16:30  Declining to invest in Talabat18:20  Visiting Reliance Industries in Jamnagar20:45 Retaining sell discipline22:00 Toss and private companies24:15  Moving towards physical assets25:35 Podcasts and Substack picks  Glossary of terms (in order of mention):Magnificent Seven: A nickname for seven large US technology-related companies – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Tesla.Holding period: The length of time an investment is owned.Corporate governance: The systems and processes by which a company is directed and controlled, including board accountability and the treatment of shareholders.Minority shareholder: An investor who owns less than a controlling stake in a company and cannot direct it alone.Bottom-up investing: Assessing individual companies rather than starting with forecasts for economies, markets or sectors.Economies of scale: Advantages that arise as a company handles more volume, reducing the average cost of each unit.Profit margin: The proportion of revenue left as profit after costs have been deducted.Graphics processing unit (GPU): A chip designed to perform many calculations in parallel, originally for graphics but now also widely used in AI.Analog chip: A semiconductor that processes continuous real-world signals, such as sound, temperature or voltage.Flotation or initial public offering (IPO): The process by which a private company first offers shares to public investors and lists them on a stock exchange.Cash flow: The movement of money into and out of a business over time.Capital allocation: The decisions a company makes about how to use its money, such as investing in growth, making acquisitions, paying dividends or reducing debt.Business vertical: A distinct business area within a company, usually focused on a particular product, service or market.Overweight: Holding more of an investment, sector or theme than the index used for a comparison.Fintech: Technology-driven financial services, such as digital payments, lending or banking tools.Insurance brokerage: A business that helps customers compare and buy insurance, acting as an intermediary between them and insurers.Capital-light: Describes a business that needs relatively little investment in physical assets to operate and grow.

Bryan Kohberger failed in his effort to have the murder indictment against him dismissed after the court rejected a series of defense arguments challenging the grand jury process and the legal sufficiency of the charges. His attorneys had attacked the indictment from multiple angles, arguing that prosecutors had improperly presented the case to the grand jury, that the instructions given to jurors were flawed and that defects in the process were serious enough to require the indictment to be thrown out. The court was not persuaded, finding that the defense had not shown the kind of fundamental error or prejudice necessary to invalidate the grand jury's decision to charge Kohberger with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.The ruling was a significant setback for the defense because dismissing the indictment would have forced prosecutors to return to the grand jury or otherwise rebuild the charging process. Instead, the court allowed the case to move forward with the indictment intact, rejecting the defense's attempt to derail the prosecution before trial. Kohberger's attorneys were still free to challenge the state's evidence through suppression motions, expert testimony and other pretrial litigation, but their broader effort to wipe out the indictment itself came up short. The result preserved the prosecution's basic charging structure and kept the focus on whether the state could prove those charges at trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Before We Dive InI'm writing and recording this on September 23rd, because I'm heading to Seattle tomorrow to visit my two daughters — both of whom got engaged last month. Two engagements in August. Very Cancer season. I am very much the Great Mother right now.Which means I will not be doing a political video this week. Back Sunday. Normal service resumed next week.But this is the week I have been building toward all year — and the cards (which I'll read at the end) are, I am not even joking, telling you to join the Venus class. So let me say it plainly before we get into what is a genuinely extraordinary week:The Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey class starts October 1st at 10am Mountain Time. The morning of October 1st is the absolute last chance to register — I won't accept late joiners, because this is a group journey into the underworld, and the group needs to begin together.Two tiers:The Journey — $397. Seven weeks, eight calls, all recordings, full course portal with pre-work videos, slides in colour and black-and-white, and materials you keep. We go really deep.Dragon Rider — $897 total. Everything above, plus: a private 30-minute one-on-one with me (starts after the class), a full year's membership in the Spiral Codex private community ($600 value, weekly calls and great discounts), and a personalized gift — I'll be asking Dragon Riders for their addresses to mail those out. The one-on-one and membership both begin after the class finishes.I have to mention: the first call starts at 10am Mountain Time on October 1st, and Venus is right on the Ascendant at that exact moment. I did not plan that. It is just the way my life seems to work.louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026The Evolving Astrologer — my Venus retrograde article has been published in OPA's free online magazine. I'm on page 21. If you missed the OPA Live panel last weekend, it's available at opaastrology.org — Merridith Cassels also did a wonderful piece on asteroids you'll want to catch.And yes — I made t-shirts from one of the Venus class slides. You truly cannot make this stuff up.Also: Taylor Swift is releasing new music from her Life of the Showgirl albums this Friday, including a single called Patient Zero. I'll just leave that there, alongside everything that's happening at 0° Scorpio this week. She knows astrology. I happen to know she's consulted someone. I'll say no more.The Week at a GlanceThis is arguably one of the most significant week of 2026 for the inner life.The sky patterns:* A Cardinal Grand Cross pressing hard for change throughout* A Fixed Grand Cross building as Mars enters Leo and Mercury enters Scorpio* An Air Grand Trine forming a kite — ideas, information, big awakenings* Mars moves into Leo at the end of Sunday* Mercury enters Scorpio on Wednesday September 30th — the 10th Pluto-Haumea exact square happens the same day at 3:15pm Eastern* October 1st: the Venus class begins* October 3rd, 3:15am Eastern: Venus stations retrograde at 8°29' Scorpio* Last Quarter Moon also on October 3rd — a cardinal Grand Cross with Saturn, Moon, Sun, PholusWaning moon all week. Going within. These cards are about recalibration, not momentum.The nodes are still at 29°. Still holding eclipse charge until October 9th.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot (Linda Hill, Etsy UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: The Hermit reversed, Three of Torches reversed, Five of Seeds reversed, and The Selkie.Three reversals and a Selkie. The first three say: withdraw, feel the stall, then begin to see a way through. And the Selkie says: shed the good girl pelt and dive into the soul home. Keep reading. These cards are saying something specific.Day by DaySunday, September 27 — Cardinal Grand Cross. Mars at the Threshold. Last Day of the Waning Aries Moon.We open the week post-Aries Full Moon, waning. The Moon is still in Aries and still carrying the full moon's illumination — but it's releasing now, not building.Mercury in Libra squares Asteroid Lilith to open the day — talking and fighting for justice, for the marginalized, for everyone who has been othered by the power-over paradigm. Asteroid Lilith says: nobody puts baby back in the corner. The Mercury square is a push. More people speaking out. Particularly, in my reading, those who have been most excluded.At the same time, Mercury opposes Eris — completing the formation of a Cardinal Grand Cross with Juno (sacred contracts; none of this is working) — which forces things to change. Initiating. Cardinal energy doesn't wait.Heading into the midterms, the voices are getting louder: we can't keep doing this. The tools exist. We just have to use them.The Aries Moon conjuncts Saturn — reality check, brakes applied, feeling held back. You might feel stalled. That is appropriate. The waning cycle is the releasing cycle.The Moon trines Black Moon Lilith — the wild, elemental feminine speaking clearly. There is real female rage alive this week, in the best sense. Female Rage: The Musical would be right at home.Mars at the anaretic 29° Cancer squares Chiron in Aries — the guardian energy looking at the wound of the toxic masculine. All of us carry this, regardless of gender, because we were raised in this culture. Mars in Cancer has been learning: I am a protector, not an attacker. I am a firefighter in the IFS sense — I want to put out fires, but that doesn't mean I have to attack everything. And now Mars is about to move into Leo.The Moon squares Ceres in Cancer — how are we mothering ourselves? How are we nurturing each other, in a genuinely healthy way?The Moon meets Pallas Athena — the wise warrior seeing the patterns. Oh. I see it now. We've got to change how we do this. The Moon trines Jupiter — a big fire trine, burning things down and creating differently.And then, at the very end of the day: Mars enters Leo.Mars in Leo is fire and heart and creative self-expression. Mars is not just war, and I want to be clear about this. Mars is our will, our drive, our energy. It's a firefighter in the internal family systems sense — highly protective. And Mars in Leo, heading toward the South Node and Regulus, is going to help take down more of what needs to come down. Because Mars in Leo will square 0° Scorpio — the exact point of the Venus Star Point. You want to be in the class when that happens. Week one slides are already done.The Moon closes the day conjuncting Vesta — what are you focused and committed to? What lights your inner flame? Here is the invitation this Venus retrograde is about to offer you.Monday, September 28 — Moon Into Taurus. The Fixed T-Square Begins.The Aries Moon finishes its journey by sextiling Hekate — the torchbearer at the crossroads, at this big turning point we're entering. I'm here. I'm lighting the way. We're going into the depths. This is not dark as in “oh my god.” It's dark as in depth. Personal and collective transformation happening at a profound level.The Moon conjuncts Eris (more table-turning within — the outer mirror of inner work), then aspects Asteroid Lilith, Juno, and Mercury — joining that Cardinal Grand Cross and saying collectively: we have to be the change we want to see in the world. Then the Moon meets Chiron — another look at the wounded masculine energy in all of us. Mars is now in Leo; the lesson keeps arriving from different angles.At 10:40am Eastern, the Moon enters Taurus. And immediately — a Fixed T-Square with 0° Scorpio.The Moon squares Mars in Leo. Mars in Leo squaring 0° Scorpio. This is gnarly energy, and it will activate on and off right through Venus and Mercury's retrogrades. What it's asking: dig into your deepest attachments. Your values. Your power dynamics and manipulation patterns — those you've been subjected to and those you've participated in. And find your way to acting from the heart. From Leo's highest.The Sun in Libra trines Uranus — a beautiful air trine bringing downloads, flashing insights, radical change of perception. Grace. When you know better, you do better. No beating yourself up for what's happened in the past. Manwë (the Law of Grace) is part of this cluster — the Sun opposes it exactly.Juno exactly opposes Asteroid Lilith — the Queen of Gods (who represented women, children, and the marginalized) facing the original equal. The fight for genuine equality is being activated at every level.The Moon opposes Haumea — and here's what to know: Pluto and Haumea are only 5 minutes apart at this point. They are about to have their next exact square. The Moon activating both of them simultaneously is a preview.Tuesday, September 29 — Moon Opposes Venus. Okyrhoe the Seer. The Looking Glass.The Taurus Moon opposes Venus in Scorpio while conjuncting Okyrhoe — the daughter of Chiron and Chariklo, the prophetess, the seer. This conjunction gives the Moon/Venus opposition a oracular quality: you may start to receive foresight around what you need to let go of. What attachments. What values. What old stories about who you are.The Venus class guides you through exactly this. And I will guide you through shamanic journeys that work precisely in this territory — going through the looking glass, seeing things in non-ordinary reality, pulling the pieces and patterns together. Pallas Athena (retrograde) squares Ceres today — the wise strategist looking at what feeds us and what doesn't, with that Alice-in-Wonderland capacity to see through the distortion to the pattern underneath.The Moon trines Pholus — Pandora's box is open. We can't look away anymore. Whatever has been sealed behind those lids: it's out. The Moon squares Jupiter — big emotions about what we're seeing. Jupiter in Leo can be the overblown king energy, the my way or the highway energy — and we're starting to see it clearly.The Moon aspects Nessus — the toxins, the poisons. But look: alongside that, heart-led expansion is available. The antidote to what we've been seeing is leading from the heart.Mercury opposes Chiron — the voice meeting the wounded masculine. Speak out. Do this differently. Language has power here.Mercury also makes its final aspects to the North Node — the strongest pull is toward where we're going: the Aquarian future. More humanitarian. More egalitarian. The question being asked everywhere from politics to tech: why are we letting four people — the owners of the AI companies — dictate what our collective future looks like? Why are we allowing it? Go and listen to the Politics Girl podcast this week; the author Ahmi Fields Meyer makes this case compellingly. We need to come together across our differences and use the tools we have.Wednesday, September 30 — Mercury Enters Scorpio. Pluto-Haumea Square Exact. The 10th.The Taurus Moon squares Chariklo and Hekate in Aquarius — both retrograde, both quiet, both holding the torch and spinning the new story from the wreckage. We're here. We're still holding space. Come with us.The Moon finishes its Taurus journey by squaring the Nodes at 29° — one more push. Change has got to come.At 7:44am Eastern, Mercury enters Scorpio — joining Venus in the deep waters. The voice, the mind, the communication descends. Mercury is, by the way, non-binary — and deeply at home in Scorpio's investigative, truth-seeking, depths-penetrating energy. More hearing and speaking about manipulation and power games. More going into the deep interior. Like the last Venus retrograde when Venus went through Aries and Mercury followed — now they're both in Scorpio, and they'll station direct on the same day: November 13th.At 1:26pm Eastern, the Moon enters Gemini.And then, at 3:15pm Eastern: Pluto exactly squares Haumea at 3° Aquarius/Scorpio. This is the 10th of 13 exact squares between these two, running from 2022 to spring 2028. Three more to go.I wrote an article on the Pluto-Haumea square — hereThe number 3° is worth sitting with. From The Numerology and the Divine Triangle (a wonderful book): 3 combines the qualities of 1 and 2. It carries the qualities of manifestation and self-expression. The ion which sprang into existence from zero sought to assert its individuality, then felt the attraction of others, and now awakens to its need for social interaction. 3 is the need to communicate and become involved in the pure joy of living. Keywords: expansive, dramatic, communicative, diversified, creative. Lovely number.Haumea is the great mother goddess of the Hawaiian pantheon — pure regeneration and rebirth. Pluto pressing on her at the number of creative manifestation, with Venus 3 days from stationing retrograde. This adds extraordinary potency to what we're entering.The Gemini Moon conjuncts Uranus at end of day — the whole air grand trine kite is activated. Big ideas. Speaking out. Court cases. Revelations. And all of it happening within, too.Thursday, October 1 — The First Call. Venus on the Ascendant. Last Chance to Join.The Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey begins at 10am Mountain Time.And at 10am Mountain Time, Venus is right on the Ascendant. I did not plan this. I never do. It just works for me.The morning of October 1st is the absolute last chance to register. I will not accept late joiners — this is a group journey into the underworld, and the container needs to hold everyone together from the beginning. If you've been saying I'm not sure, I don't know — this is the moment. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Astrologically, the Gemini Moon trines the Sun — the first major Moon-Sun aspect after the Aries Full Moon. Activates the air grand trine. Speaking out, new ideas, diving deeper. A beautiful day to begin.The Moon sextiles Saturn (opportunity to release more self-limiting beliefs — and there will be many to release in this class), sextiles Pallas Athena (turning that steely, pattern-seeing gaze inward — exactly what we'll do), and sextiles Jupiter (expansion, big ideas, the heart opening toward what's possible).The Moon opposes Black Moon Lilith — I always associate Black Moon Lilith with Scorpio, and she's pointing directly into where we're about to descend.Quiet day, astrologically. Good for beginning something deep.Friday, October 2 — Mercury-Mars-Pluto. The Fixed Grand Cross Tightens. Cancer Moon Out of Bounds.The Gemini Moon squares Nessus at 21° — another look at the toxins, the poisons, what's been coming out. Then Mars aspects Sedna — we know we have to change. We know it. The question is what action we're going to take.Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo — and squares Pluto in Aquarius — completing the Fixed Grand Cross in earnest now. Mercury's voice and mind in the depths, Mars's will and drive in the heart, Pluto's excavation of shadow in the collective — all pressing on each other. Everything speaking truth. Everything connected. Think about what action is required.The Gemini Moon trines Chariklo and Hekate, sextiles Eris (opportunity to flip the inner tables), aspects Chiron (wound and medicine) — then at 3:54pm Eastern, the Moon enters Cancer — her own sign. And she is way out of bounds.Mercury in Scorpio squares Pluto and conjuncts Haumea — the total period of deep regeneration from the inside out. Soul detective. Corruption detective. Scorpio investigates what's hidden.Mars in Leo trines Neptune in Aries — Mars in Leo, Neptune in Aries, both Mars's signs in harmonious conversation. The lesson Mars keeps getting, from every angle: you are a protector, not an attacker. You don't have to stomp on others. You have to find different ways to do this.The Sun squares Pholus — Pandora's box, still open. More coming to light. The lid has been off too long to go back on.The Moon makes a water trine to Mercury and Haumea — deep, feeling, regenerative, creative. The inner detective work is happening.Saturday, October 3 — Venus Stations Retrograde. Last Quarter Moon. The Descent Begins.At 3:15am Eastern, Venus stations retrograde at 8°29' Scorpio.She will be retrograde through November 13th, when she stations direct alongside Mercury. The descent into the underworld begins.Where is 8° Scorpio in your chart? What about 22° Libra — the degree where Venus will station direct? The path between those two degrees is the territory of this retrograde. And if you were born under a prenatal Scorpio Venus Star Point, this is your star point cycle, and it will be extraordinarily personal.Even if you're not a Scorpio star point: look back 8 years to 2018. And 8 years before that. And 8 years before that. Venus has been going retrograde through Scorpio on this 8-year cycle. Not for exact events — but for feelings, themes, the part of your chart activated. What echoes are you hearing?The out-of-bounds Cancer Moon (deeply emotional, operating beyond the normal range) makes a water trine to Venus at 6:15am Eastern — this moment feels significant. A deep tide turning. We're going to feel it.Then: Mars in Leo opposes Pluto, squares Mercury, and squares Haumea — the Fixed Grand Cross at full force. Take action to dig deep. Go into your own heart and shadows. Transform from the inside out. This is not comfortable. It is the work.The Moon opposes Pholus (Pandora's box wide open as we descend).And then the Last Quarter Moon — the Moon reaches 10° Cancer, squaring the Sun in Libra, with Saturn and Pholus completing another Cardinal Grand Cross. Forcing change from within. Dane Rudhyar called Last Quarter Moons a “crisis in consciousness.” This one, with Venus having just stationed retrograde hours before, with a Fixed Grand Cross also activated, with Mercury in Scorpio and Mars pressing on Pluto — this is not a gentle crisis.Mars squares Haumea — the divine masculine learning, still, that the rebirth requires depth not domination.The Moon meets Ceres — and I want to end there, because Ceres is about our needs and our attachments. In my Ceres book, I write about her connection to attachment style: what we're attached to, who we're attached to, what ideas and stories we're clinging to. The Venus retrograde class begins peeling all of this back. And Ceres at the end of this intense day is saying: look at what you're attached to. You don't have to carry all of it.The Cards in DetailThe Hermit, reversed:You may start this week wanting to withdraw from the world. Feeling antisocial. Feeling like you want to hibernate. And you know what? That's okay. The waning cycle is the releasing cycle, and this is a big week of going inward.The caution of the reversal: don't let the going-within become “woe is me” with no movement. The Hermit reversed can be too much navel-gazing without the intentional “okay, and now what do I do with what I've found?” The invitation is solitude with purpose — even if that purpose is just let me feel this before I act on it.Three of Torches (Wands), reversed — Roadblocks and Recalibration:Venus grinding to a halt. Cardinal and Fixed Grand Crosses. Waning moon. Everything going within.You may feel delays, roadblocks, a loss of momentum and confidence this week. Your drive is going underground. This is not failure. This is the Three of Torches asking for recalibration — and it is pointing directly at the class. Recalibrate in community. Recalibrate in the underworld, with a guide and a map and seven weeks to find your feet.Five of Seeds (Pentacles), reversed — I Have My Own Back:This one lands at the end of the week, as Venus stations retrograde.You will start to feel that you can overcome hardship. You will start to see that the difficult times could be over.But here is the core message: you've got to have your own back. For better or worse. Through the descent and the return. You matter. And your actions matter.The Selkie (Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins):When I read this card, I said out loud: This is what I do in the Venus class. And I wasn't joking.“Legend tells of the Selkie — a shape-shifting woman-seal, often seen off the coast of northern Scotland, who can shed her skin by moonlight and dance upon the shores. Fishermen were known to catch the seal maid's skin in order to keep her pinned to the land, captured as bride, preventing her return to her true skin and soul home.To reclaim your soul skin in the current legend you're living, you must let go of the good girl pelt you were raised to wear. This means getting comfortable with letting people have their own ideas about who you are, so that you can develop the freedom to be what is most natural to you.Toss off all that no longer fits you, and dive deep into the places where your soul feels most at home.Let go of old demands you put yourself under to be that good girl, good friend, good daughter, good wife, good mother.

Bryan Kohberger failed in his effort to have the murder indictment against him dismissed after the court rejected a series of defense arguments challenging the grand jury process and the legal sufficiency of the charges. His attorneys had attacked the indictment from multiple angles, arguing that prosecutors had improperly presented the case to the grand jury, that the instructions given to jurors were flawed and that defects in the process were serious enough to require the indictment to be thrown out. The court was not persuaded, finding that the defense had not shown the kind of fundamental error or prejudice necessary to invalidate the grand jury's decision to charge Kohberger with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.The ruling was a significant setback for the defense because dismissing the indictment would have forced prosecutors to return to the grand jury or otherwise rebuild the charging process. Instead, the court allowed the case to move forward with the indictment intact, rejecting the defense's attempt to derail the prosecution before trial. Kohberger's attorneys were still free to challenge the state's evidence through suppression motions, expert testimony and other pretrial litigation, but their broader effort to wipe out the indictment itself came up short. The result preserved the prosecution's basic charging structure and kept the focus on whether the state could prove those charges at trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

What matters more than love? My answer is capacity. I think we've wildly overestimated love's ability to carry a relationship. You can love someone deeply and still lie to them, betray them, disappear when things get uncomfortable, refuse to look at yourself, or be unable to create a safe space for them. Love is a feeling. A relationship requires skills. In this episode, I answer questions about what actually makes relationships work, how relationships change over time, and what it means to leave someone you still love. I also talk about social media, comparison, and how constantly looking at everyone else's life can make us question our own. I talk about: ● Why love alone isn't enough to sustain a relationship ● Capacity, communication, accountability, and repair ● Why long-term relationships require us to grow and become someone we've never been before ● What happens when couples resist change and begin to drift apart ● How you can love someone and still know you don't want to spend the rest of your life with them ● Why staying in a relationship out of fear can sometimes create more pain ● The difference between inspiration and inadequacy on social media ● How comparison can make you overlook the life you're actually living Thanks for listening. If any of these words help you or someone you know, pass them along. If you're tired of knowing what you need to change but still repeating the same patterns, 31 Days to Get Out of Your Own Way is for you. For 31 days, we'll work on closing the gap between insight and action through structure, accountability, and ownership. Less analyzing yourself. More making different choices and actually changing your life. Learn more and join here: https://nas.com/therapist-membership-qa-space/challenges/31-days-to-get-out-of-your-own-way

A horrible incident from a year prior comes back to haunt a group of friends in the form of a killer dressed in a fisherman slicker.I Know What You Did Last Summer features a new set of friends encountering a horrific death similar to the events that occurred in Southport in 1997. Although this film features a new cast of friends, it brings back familiar faces of the series like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Brandy Norwood. This film also retains the iconic fisherman slicker killer vibe with his hook. While the kills were well done in this movie, the characters are poorly developed, and the writing decisions will have fans of the series scratching their heads at the end.

This week's Podcast Short highlights two stories that look at a pair of big rulings from US federal courts, as well as other developments from the EU and China. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently vacated the EPA's TSCA risk management rule for methylene chloride, addressing how the agency must evaluate and regulate existing chemicals under TSCA.  In a separate action, a federal district court blocked New Mexico from enforcing its upcoming PFAS labelling mandate while the case proceeds. The preliminary injunction gives the industry groups an early victory in their challenge to one of the country's most sweeping state-level PFAS labelling schemes. Other top stories discussed include: the European Parliament approves legislation clarifying when EU member states can exempt defence-related activites from key chemicals laws; an analysis of China becoming increasingly active in GHS development; and modest demand for fast-track new chemical reviews under an EPA programme intended to speed reviews substances intended for data center projects. Tune in to hear about our top stories from the last week, and then visit Chemical Watch News & Insight to catch all the latest chemicals management news from around the globe.  Have a podcast idea or a comment to share?

Justin Townsend of MycoMeditations explains the "golden shadow" and why psychedelic facilitators need to be well-trained to hand that projection back rather than take it on. The dark shadow is the unsavory stuff we don't want to admit to: the shame, the disgust, the fear. The golden shadow, however, is the beautiful stuff about ourselves: our strengths, our creativity and our capacities for success. However, the golden shadow can get buried and projected just as much as the dark shadow. The way it shows up is as a kind of intense admiration for someone else. Putting them up on a pedestal, viewing them with all these beautiful qualities of ourselves that we're unable to see in ourselves. This could be a retreat leader, a therapist, a celebrity, or a guru. In this clip from episode 170, Justin walks us through how projection of the golden shadow can happen in psychedelic therapy and the problems that his can cause for both the participant and the facilitator when that facilitator is not ready and willing to refuse that projection and instead help their participant integrate it.    CHAPTERS (00:00) What the shadow and the golden shadow are (01:39) Spotting the projection, in retreats and in public (02:14) The facilitator's job, and how followers build a guru (04:31) Slow boil: how good people become the villain (6:54) Outro ***This is a clip from 'The Business and Practice of Psilocybin Therapy in Jamaica | Justin Townsend ~ ATTMind 170', Adventures Through The Mind Podcast, episode 170*** FULL INTERVIEW Listen on iTunes Listen on Spotify Watch in Video Read the show notes SUPPORT THE PODCAST

Some of the hardest truths about relationships are the ones we spend the most time avoiding. I'm talking about the conversations that challenge the way we think about marriage, love, resentment, breakups, and even our own intuition. I start with a controversial idea: I think marriages need to die. Not because divorce is the goal, but because long-term relationships can't survive if the old version of the marriage is expected to stay the same forever. Growth asks us to let old dynamics end so a new relationship can be born. I also answer some of your relationship questions about resentment, breakups, choosing the wrong partners, trusting your gut, and what happens when love activates old attachment wounds. I talk about: Why marriages need death and rebirth to keep growing How life transitions reshape relationships Why feelings and capacity are two different things The difference between loving someone and choosing someone What resentment is communicating before it destroys a relationship How overfunctioning creates hidden resentment Why breakup anger often belongs to an older wound How to move through anger without letting it make decisions Why intuition whispers and anxiety argues How childhood experiences shape what my gut tells me If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe for more conversations about relationships, healing, attachment, and personal growth.

Football is back! F3 returns for Season 3 with NFL news, fantasy football tips, game-day food and a whole lot of chicken wings. In the Season 3 opener, Jonathan and Erin get ready for another NFL season with a look at what's happening around the league, what to watch for as the season gets underway, and how to get your fantasy team ready for game day. They talk about the latest NFL roster moves, the players and teams worth keeping an eye on, and where to find reliable information when setting a fantasy lineup. How much should you trust the stats, the experts, injury reports, podcasts, websites, social media and even AI? With so much information available, they look at how to separate the useful stuff from all the noise. Then it's time to talk about one of the best parts of football: the food. Jonathan and Erin dig into why food and football go together, from tailgating and sports bars to watching the game at home with friends and family. They also look at how football food is local and how each NFL city has its own food traditions, flavours and favourites. And of course, no F3 episode would be complete without the F3 Food Pick of the Week. This week, it's all about chicken wings. Jonathan shares his chef tips for getting crispy wings at home, along with some simple sauce ideas including Classic Buffalo, BBQ, Honey Mustard, Honey Garlic, Korean-style, Maple Sriracha and more. Football. Food. Fantasy. Welcome back to F3. -Game Day- Crispy Chicken Wings Chef Jonathan Frazier's    The goal: Crispy wings with lots of flavour, without needing a deep fryer.   Ingredients — 4 servings   * 2 lb (900 g) chicken wings * 1 tbsp baking powder * 1 tsp kosher salt * ½ tsp black pepper * 1 tsp garlic powder * ½ tsp smoked paprika   Method   1. Pat the wings very dry with paper towel. 2. Toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. 3. For the best results, place the wings uncovered in the refrigerator for 4–24 hours. This helps dry the skin. 4. Heat oven to 425°F / 220°C. 5. Place wings on a rack over a baking sheet, leaving space between them. 6. Bake for 35–45 minute, turning halfway through. 7. Cook until the wings are browned, crispy and reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C. 8. Toss with your choice of sauce just before serving.     Jonathan's Chef Tips   Dry wings make crispy wings. Let air dry in fridge before hand. * Don't crowd the pan. * Use a rack whenever possible. * Give them time to brown properly. * Sauce them after cooking, not before. * Make several sauces and let everyone choose their favourite.       Sauce Ideas   Classic Buffalo * Hot sauce and butter * Add more or less butter depending on how spicy you like it.   Honey Garlic * Honey * Garlic * Butter * Soy sauce   BBQ * Your favourite BBQ sauce * Add a little hot sauce for heat.   Honey Mustard * Honey * Dijon mustard * A little mayonnaise or Greek yogurt   Korean-Style * Gochujang(fermented red chili paste) * Honey * Soy sauce * Garlic * Sesame oil   Dry Rub * Skip the sauce completely. * Try smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, black pepper and a little cayenne.   Sweet Chili * Sweet chili sauce * Garlic * Lime juice * A little soy sauce   Garlic Parmesan * Butter * Roasted garlic * Parmesan * Fresh parsley   Jerk * Jerk seasoning * Honey * Lime juice * Butter  

In this episode, I reflect on what I'd tell myself 10 years ago about losing everything, rebuilding, and learning that security was never really about what I owned. I also share a story about a local surfer in Costa Rica who offered to teach me after watching me struggle in the water every day. What stayed with me wasn't the surfing—it was the feeling of being seen, believed in, and chosen at 52. Sometimes the thing we need most isn't more confidence. It's someone saying, “I see what you're trying to become. If this episode resonated with you, be sure to follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share it with someone who might need to hear it.

The members of the Losers Club receive a phone call, reuniting them back in Derry, 27 years following their initial encounter with Pennywise, and after building lives outside of the town they grew up in.It: Chapter Two is the next film we're discussing in Sequel September 2026 and it's the story of The Losers Club as adults, returning to Derry to put an end to Pennywise, once and for all. While we love the story of It, this film feels repetitive. The cast in the movie is great, the acting is strong, but there are too many flashbacks to keep up the engagement in this film. After rewatching this movie, we came away believing this story is told better through the kid's perspectives vs the adults.

From reeling in giant fish and hunting alligators with sonar to have you heard about Gen Z bringing helicopter parents to job interviews? Plus I share an incredibly easy breakfast recipe for home or while at hunting camp. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Reeling in the Biggins: Fish & Alligator Adventures Father Lands West Virginia Record Catfish While Fishing With His Son A West Virginia father was hoping to catch a small catfish for his 4-year-old son to reel in. Instead, he landed a 72.75-pound blue catfish and set a new state record. Tyler Harmon was fishing the Ohio River near Ravenswood with his young son, Walker, and his own father, Rodney. The three generations had been using cut creek chub minnows when one of their rods suddenly bent. Tyler quickly realized he had hooked a very large fish. He battled it for about 20 minutes, trying to keep his 40-pound line away from underwater brush and the boat's anchor line. When the fish finally reached the boat, young Walker thought his dad had caught a big shark. Tyler's father helped net the fish, and they pulled it aboard. The family suspected it could be a state record, so they took the fish to a nearby bait shop and kept it alive in an aerated tank overnight. The next day, a West Virginia fisheries biologist officially weighed and measured it. The blue catfish weighed 72.75 pounds, measured nearly 48 inches long, and had a girth of 33.5 inches. That was enough to break the previous West Virginia catch-and-release record of 71 pounds. After the official weigh-in, Tyler released the giant catfish back into the Ohio River near where it was caught. And Walker now knows that what looked like a shark was actually a new state-record catfish. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/west-viriginia-record-blue-catfish/ High-School Angler Helps Find 11-Foot “Cannibal” Gator A Mississippi high-school bass fisherman used his fishing skills — and forward-facing sonar — to help his family locate two alligators during a recent hunt.  Sixteen-year-old Tatum Ceckahrulli, a junior at St. Martin High School, has used sonar for years while fishing. His family decided to try the technology to locate alligators in the Pascagoula River area of south Mississippi. On the first night, the family used sonar to find a nearly seven-foot gator. They snagged it and brought it back to shore to process the meat. The next night, they were looking for something bigger. While traveling through a bayou, Tatum and the group saw a huge splash. They soon realized a large alligator had killed and was feeding on another gator about seven feet long. The hunters waited for the big alligator to surface. After one failed attempt, Tatum hooked it again. The group eventually secured the animal with heavy tackle and a snare. The alligator turned out to be about 11 feet long. Getting it into their 17-foot boat was a challenge, and the normally 15-minute trip back to the ramp took about an hour because of the extra weight. Tatum believes the large gator was old and in poor condition. It had very few teeth and was extremely thin — possibly explaining why it attacked and ate the smaller alligator. The meat from both animals was processed and shared with family and friends.

How about if this trend affects those entering the job market for the first time? Helicopter Parenting Takes a New Turn According to News Nation, career experts say more young adults are turning to their parents for help navigating a difficult job market — in some cases, even bringing Mom or Dad along to job interviews. Career coach Sarah Johnston says parents have shown up at job fairs, contacted recruiters on behalf of their children and, occasionally, tried to intervene after a child was dismissed from a job. A survey by resume service Zety found that one in five Gen Z job seekers had a parent attend a job interview with them. Experts say the trend has grown since the pandemic. Johnston says many parents may be stepping in because today's job market is very different from the one they experienced. Young workers face longer job searches, layoffs and new pressures from artificial intelligence and social media. For employers, Johnston recommends keeping the focus on the job candidate. If a parent shows up or calls on behalf of their adult child, hiring managers should politely redirect the conversation to the candidate. She says that while the behavior can seem excessive, many parents are simply trying to help their children succeed in a challenging job market.  Statistics: 20% (Zety Survey): A study of over 1,000 Gen Z workers found that 20% had a parent actually join a job interview—15% in person and 5% virtually.  Parental overinvolvement often extends past the interview room itself, Fox News: 63% of parents have submitted job applications for their children. 53% to 54% have emailed or called hiring managers directly. 21% of candidates had a parent contact a recruiter directly on their behalf. 10% had a parent negotiate a job offer. How do Hiring Managers feel or think when a parent is involved, according to Forbes? The moment a parent shows up, the panel stops assessing the candidate and instead starts asking something entirely different. “How could this person ever meet with a client alone, run a meeting, or take feedback without backup?” Forbes also reported, helicopter parenting is linked to higher anxiety and depression in emerging adults, alongside weaker self-regulation and lower belief in their own capability.

Now What? The Easiest Breakfast Recipe You'll Ever Make A Quick Breakfast Anyone Can Make: Simple Ingredients, Big Breakfast Flavor EASY RECIPE: Caramel Rolls Meets Monkey Bread BEC's Carmel Roll Monkey Bread Instructions and Ingredients Preheat Oven to 350℉. Use a 9x13” baking dish or tin foil pan (my preference). Grease a baking dish or pan well with Non-Stick Cooking Spray. Ingredients: 2 Cans of Pillsbury Flaky Grands Biscuits. 1 Cup of Flavored Coffee Creamer (Substitute: Vanilla Ice Cream) 1 Cup of Brown Sugar 1 Cup of White Sugar 1 Cup of Butter 1 Tsp Vanilla *********************** ½ Cup Sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon   In a pot on Medium Heat melt the butter, stirring frequently while adding in the Brown and White Sugar, Vanilla. The combination should melt together nicely, then add the  Flavored Coffee Creamer (or vanilla ice cream.) Once bubbling, set the pot off to the side to cool. Take the 2 cans of biscuits. Open and pull apart each biscuit, then peel them apart into equal halves. Cut these circles of dough into four (4) pieces. In a large bowl with a lid cover add the cut flour dough pieces, sprinkle the ½ cup sugar and 2 TBSP of Cinnamon. Place the lid securely on the bowl and SHAKE, TOSS, and Shake. The dough pieces should all be equally coated in the cinnamon/sugar mix, if sticking together - break apart and repeat placing the lid and toss, shake again. Take the pot of Carmel, pour ⅓ into the bottom of the well greased dish or pan. Spread until the whole bottom is covered. Then take the coated dough pieces and cover the bottom of the pan with the dough. Pour the remaining Carmel Sauces over the top of the dough. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes at 350℉, checking frequently after 25 minutes so as not to burn. Take out of the oven once the tops are starting to turn dark brown. While cooling, take a ¼ cup of butter and cut thin slices, placing on top to melt - spreading the melted butter around the whole top. ENJOY!! Pull apart caramel rolls anyone can make! One last note - I use Caramel Macchiato creamer, however use your favorite. Pumpkin Spice creamer, Hazelnut Creamer, or Pecan and toss in some chopped Pecans. Yum Yum!

She is also a clinical psychologist, an international speaker and a wisdom teacher, integrating Eastern philosophy with Western psychology. We talk about what it actually means to raise conscious boys and girls in a world that is changing faster than ever. We talk about the different things boys and girls are missing today, from physicality, movement, mentorship and healthy masculinity for boys to voice, self-trust and protection from the pressures of social media for girls. We also get into how much of parenting is really about our own wounds, fears and unresolved experiences. Dr. Shefali also shares her own struggle with staying present, letting go and trusting her daughter instead of constantly trying to prevent discomfort or rescue her. We talk about the messy process of parenting, learning to hold space for our children, and eventually becoming less central in their lives. We talk about: What boys and girls need from parents today. Why boys need movement, adventure, mentorship and healthy initiation. The importance of giving boys a pathway toward conscious masculinity. Why young men can become vulnerable when they don't have healthy male mentors. How social media and unrealistic standards are affecting girls. The difference between empowerment and seeking approval. How pornography and the internet have changed childhood. Why parents need to be more present and vigilant without becoming paranoid. How our own childhood experiences can shape the way we parent. Why parenting can become a mirror into our own unconsciousness. The challenge of letting go, trusting and allowing children to experience discomfort. Why boundaries can become harder to establish when we don't set them early. What it means to parent without trying to mold your child into who you think they should become. The eventual goal of moving from center stage to backstage in your child's life. Why there is no perfect way to parent and why making mistakes is part of the process.

I'm answering a few questions about love, desire, affairs, and obsession. I start with a question about losing desire for a husband after having an affair and whether that desire can actually come back. My answer is yes - but I don't think getting the old desire back should be the goal. Sometimes the relationship we had has died, and the work is to create something new instead. I also talk about why affairs can make desire especially confusing, how an affair can awaken a version of ourselves that we haven't felt in a long time, and why that version of us doesn't necessarily belong to the person we had the affair with. Then I get into what happens when couples try to repair after infidelity but accidentally allow the affair to become the relationship. Finally, I talk about obsession and how to tell the difference between obsession and love. Sometimes the person we can't stop thinking about isn't the love of our life - they're the person who created the most uncertainty in our life. I talk about: Why getting the old desire back shouldn't necessarily be the goal. Why you may need to create a new relationship instead of recreating the old one. Why comparing marital desire to affair desire isn't a fair comparison. What an affair can awaken in us beyond the other person. Why sometimes we're craving the version of ourselves we got to be around someone. How couples can rebuild desire together after infidelity. Why making the entire relationship about the affair can prevent real repair. When transparency becomes surveillance instead of rebuilding trust. Why love should expand your world while obsession tends to shrink it. How uncertainty and intermittent reinforcement can make someone feel impossible to let go of. Why we can become obsessed with a version of someone we've created from incomplete information. How to separate what actually happened from what we imagined could happen. Why letting go can mean surrendering the ending we hoped someone would give us.

I think resentment is one of the biggest things that can crack a relationship. We get hurt, minimize it, swallow it, and keep moving until all those little things start piling up. Eventually, the resentment becomes so big that we don't see the person or the relationship the same way anymore.  In this episode, I talk about why we need to learn how to express ourselves before resentment turns into a giant pile, how to know what is actually worth bringing to the table, and why resolving resentment doesn't always mean getting an apology from the person who hurt us.  I also talk about how to bring up resentment without blaming or attacking someone, taking ownership for my own part, and figuring out whether a relationship is still worth investing in. I break down the difference between doing life with someone, at someone, or around someone - and why honest relationships require us to be willing to talk about the hard shit.  I talk about: Why resentment can create hairline cracks in a relationship. How swallowing small hurts can eventually turn into a giant pile of resentment. Why I don't believe we can always depend on someone else to give us closure. How to decide what is actually worth expressing. Why I sometimes overexpress and need to work things out on my own first. Why bringing up resentment should come from a place of response rather than reaction. How taking ownership for my own part can change the conversation. What someone's response to my hurt can tell me about their capacity for the relationship. Why some relationships may have simply been outgrown. How children, finances, and other responsibilities can make resentment harder to address. Why I think we have a responsibility to express valid hurt before the pile gets too big. The difference between doing life with someone, at someone, and around someone. How to think about resentment differently in romantic relationships, friendships, and family. Why some resentment may need to be processed without ever being expressed directly. Why working through resentment is a muscle that requires reps.

This episode is going to explore the state of the psychedelic movement right now — the money, the policy, the ethics, and the stories that are not getting told. Specifically, we are going to be exploring what is actually happening across the so-called psychedelic renaissance: the for-profit pharmaceutical track, city and state level decriminalization, the unregulated market selling products that mostly do not contain what they claim to, the biopiracy question that almost nobody in mainstream media will ask about, and why one of the field's most trusted journalists says psychedelics are a relationship rather than a cure. Our guest is Shelby Hartman. What You'll Learn About:

I've been thinking a lot about my relationship with God. I believe in God. I believe in something greater. But I've realized that believing in God and actually having a relationship with God are two different things for me. In this episode, I get honest about growing up without religion, my complicated history with Christianity, the moments in my life that have felt undeniably spiritual, and why I think I've sometimes avoided a deeper relationship with God. I talk about light and dark, pleasure and addiction, surrender, serendipity, and the idea that our stories may be the place where we see something greater working through us. I also talk about my house burning down, starting over in Costa Rica, the unexpected things that have happened since, and how those experiences have changed the way I see my life and my relationship with God. I share why I've started looking at my story differently and why I think making sense of the painful parts of our lives can help us move from a dark place toward the light. I talk about: ● Why I believe in God but still struggle with my relationship with God. ● Growing up without religion and my complicated relationship with Christianity. ● Why I sometimes felt like I was performing rather than genuinely worshipping. ● The moments in my life that have felt like undeniable “God moments.” ● Why I see light and dark as two different paths we can move toward. ● How pleasure, addiction, and unhealthy choices can pull us toward darkness. ● Why I think serendipity can be a form of light. ● How I've started seeing the events in my life as part of a larger story. ● What my house burning down taught me about surrender and starting over. ● Why I believe our story may be the most valuable thing we ever own. ● How looking back at trauma and painful experiences can help us understand our story. ● Why I'm beginning to wonder if this next chapter of my life is about developing a better relationship with God.

A journalist begins to investigate the mystery behind her niece's death that involves a videotape, which causes anyone who watches it to die after 7 days.The Ring is the finale for Things You Don't Fuck With month and it was an American remake that made a splash in the early 2000s. We distinctly remember growing up and hearing all hype regarding how creepy this movie was. The concept of watching a video tape and receiving a call that foretold death in 7 days was always horrifying. We look forward to discussing this movie after having seen it over 2 decades ago.

Why do we remain stuck in the same patterns, compare ourselves to our partner's past, or wait for an ex to give us closure? In Episode 26 of Therapy Thursdays, John answers your most personal questions about identity, intimacy, insecurity, attachment and relationships. He explains why meaningful change requires us to let go of an old version of ourselves - and why the familiar can feel safe even when it is making us unhappy. He also explores what true intimacy looks like after the performance falls away, how to respond when a partner asks for space, and what couples are really trying to communicate beneath everyday arguments. From protest behaviour and defensiveness to breakups, reconciliation and the need for an apology, this episode is about recognising what is happening underneath the surface.

I'm breaking down the biggest ways I think we sabotage our own healing, relationships, and lives. This conversation came from a post that resonated with millions of people and grew into a series because these patterns are so common - and so easy to mistake for growth. I talk about why insight isn't the same as change, why breakups aren't something we simply “get over,” why divorce doesn't automatically mean failure, and why chasing happiness can keep us disconnected from a life that actually feels meaningful. I talk about: Why knowing my attachment style doesn't automatically change my behavior. How self-awareness can become another place to hide. Why healing eventually becomes about execution, not explanation. Why I don't believe we truly get over people we deeply loved. How grief includes losing the future I imagined with someone. Why divorce doesn't erase a real or meaningful marriage. How staying because of fear is different from staying because of love. Why happiness was never meant to be my permanent destination. What I've started choosing instead of making happiness my North Star.

What happens when I know better but still find myself repeating the same relationship patterns? I answer 10 questions about love, attachment, obsession, loneliness, breakups, abuse, reconciliation, and the difficult choices we make when relationships activate something deeper inside us. I talk about why we can confuse familiarity with safety, why we sometimes become addicted to what another person does to our nervous system, and how to tell the difference between attachment anxiety and intuition. I also explore why some relationships are worth experiencing even if they aren't meant to last, and why being lonely inside a relationship can make attention from an ex feel so powerful. In this episode: • Why repetition compulsion can make us recreate emotional dynamics that hurt us • How familiar can become confused with safe • Why obsession with another person can actually be a form of emotional regulation • How to distinguish attachment anxiety from intuition • How to tell whether you're fighting for a relationship or fighting against grieving it • Why not every meaningful relationship has to become a lifelong one • Why I don't believe there is necessarily one person who is the one • What loneliness inside a relationship can reveal about what you're actually missing • Why leaving an abusive relationship can be much more complicated than simply knowing you should leave • When friendship with an ex is actually just another way of holding on • Why long-term relationships can become disconnected and what it can look like to find each other again

What is the difference between loving someone and becoming obsessed with them? In this episode, I explore how love can slowly turn into fixation, fantasy, and emotional dependency, and why so many of us confuse chemistry with compatibility. Recording from a hotel room, I reflect on my own experiences with emotional intensity, attachment patterns, love addiction, fantasy, and obsession, as well as the challenge of building a life that doesn't revolve around one person. In this episode, I talk about: Why obsession is often about identity, not the other person The difference between chemistry and compatibility How fantasy creates emotional intensity Why intermittent reinforcement is so addictive The connection between obsession, attachment wounds, and love addiction How emotional intensity and expanding your life can change your perspective on relationships Why I believe a healthy relationship requires a life that is bigger than the relationship itself What it means to choose yourself without becoming emotionally isolated

The house I grew up in is probably still living inside me. And the house you grew up in may still be living inside you, too. I'm recording from a diner in Mexico City and exploring one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves: What was the emotional climate of the home I grew up in? This conversation goes far beyond nostalgia or childhood memories. I explore how the emotional atmosphere we grew up in - whether it was chaotic, unpredictable, emotionally distant, performance-driven, or conflict-avoidant - can continue shaping our relationships, attachment patterns, self-worth, and nervous system responses decades later. Drawing from my own experiences and years of therapeutic work, I break down four types of emotionally immature parents and how growing up around these dynamics can wire us to become caretakers, perfectionists, conflict avoiders, or people who feel guilty for having needs at all. This isn't about blaming our parents. It's about understanding how those early experiences taught us to relate to ourselves. Because real adulthood begins when we learn how to become the safest place we've ever lived. In this episode: • Why the emotional climate of your childhood matters more than the physical house • The signs of an emotionally ruled parent • How hypervigilance can get mistaken for empathy • Why driven parents can unintentionally tie love to achievement • What passive parents can teach us about conflict and boundaries • How rejecting parents can create adults who apologize for existing • Why we often choose familiarity in relationships, not randomness • The connection between childhood emotional neglect and adult anxious attachment • What reparenting actually looks like in everyday life • The question I want you to ask yourself about the emotional climate you may still be carrying today
