Will Miles is trapped. Trapped in tiny Greening, Michigan, where a toxic high school rumor has turned her into a social exile. Trapped in the predictable routines of her mother, and under the unrelenting gaze of her mother's increasingly sinister boyfriend. But when Will stumbles across the early poems of Nathaniel Fellow, a famous writer forty years her senior who also grew up in Greening, she feels she's found a kindred spirit. A passing comment from her mother only adds to Will's fascination: Is Nathaniel the father she's never known?Will orchestrates a plan to track Nathaniel down, following in his footsteps to New York City, where she learns he's not the answer to her past, not the way she imagined. But their meeting sparks a complicated, consuming relationship that gives Will sidelong access to a world she's only ever imagined: of writers and intellectuals, a financial safety net, and, most intoxicatingly, a glimpse into her own potential. But who is Nathaniel Fellow, off the page? And what will shaping her life to suit his cost her? When a torrent of information about his past threatens not just her life with Nathaniel, but the story she tells herself about him, Will is faced with a choice that will change everything.A gripping novel about ambition, parents and children, and all the ways women still pay for men's mistakes, Famous Men (Random House, 2026) traces one woman's journey to the truth of where she comes from, what she's capable of, and how she might start again.

Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. This segment introduces the core of the mystery surrounding Billy Riley, a young man from Oxford, Michigan, who disappeared after traveling to Russia in May 2015. Billy is described as a product of the post-9/11 era whose life was fundamentally redirected by that event, leading him to develop a deep, self-taught expertise in global conflicts, religions, and foreign languages while operating from his parents' home as a "keyboard commando." His prolific internet activities eventually drew the attention of the Detroit FBI, who recruited him as a Confidential Human Source (CHS)—a type of freelance operative or "informant." The narrative highlights the tension between Billy's imaginative world and his physical reality; although he had not traveled widely, he was handling increasingly dangerous assignments for the FBI. One such assignment involved an online relationship with an individual in the Philippines suspected of being linked to Abu Sayyaf, an Islamic terror group allied with ISIS. Though Billy nearly traveled to Manila in December 2014 to meet this person, he backed out at the airport. However, by May 2015, he was determined to seek adventure in Russia, specifically heading toward the war-torn Donbas region of Ukraine. His parents, Terry and Bill Riley, were aware he worked for "the men"—his name for his FBI handlers—but Billy had become adept at being "coy," sharing just enough to intrigue them without keeping them fully informed. Notably, despite growing up in a traditional Catholic environment, Billy had converted to Islam through personal study, often reading the Quran in his Catholic school classes. The night before his fateful departure for Moscow, he met with his main FBI handler for dinner, a meeting shrouded in mystery that left his mother with a sense of parental intuition that something was wrong. (1)1900

Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. The final segment of Forrest's account explores the dark possibilities of Billy's fate and the FBI's high-level awareness of the case. While some contacts suggested Billy might have simply disappeared into Russia or traveled to the Far East, Anastasia Mikhailovska offers a much bleaker theory: that Billy was taken into custody, tortured for information, and his body disposed of in a lake in one of the breakaway republics of Eastern Ukraine. This blunt assessment stands in contrast to more optimistic theories but aligns with the brutal reality of the Donbas conflict. Back in Washington, Forrest attends a retirement party at the Department of Justice, where he encounters Paul Abate. At the time Billy went to Russia, Abate was the Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit field office—the man who would have overseen Billy's handlers and the investigation into his disappearance. By 2018, Abate had risen to become the third-highest-ranking official in the entire FBI. When Forrest approaches him, Abate reveals that he already knows who Forrest is and is intimately familiar with the Riley case, despite no stories having been published yet. This high-level recognition suggests that the "secret wars" the Rileys felt trapped inside were well-known and carefully monitored at the top of the American intelligence apparatus. (4)1867 MOSCOW

Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. The story shifts to 2017 when Brett Forrest, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, receives a tip from Bob Foresman, an American financier with deep ties to the Russian and Ukrainian power structures. Foresman reveals the outlines of a "story of great depth": a young Michigan man who worked for the FBI in counterterrorism had disappeared in Russia, after which his handlers visited his family, confiscated their electronics, and then effectively "shut the Rileys out." Forrest visits the Rileys in the winter and finds a family living through a tragedy but fueled by a relentless energy to find their son. The timeline of Billy's final known movements is established through his WhatsApp messages to his mother. He arrived in Moscow, met with contacts named Mikhail Pollenov and Elena Gorbacheva, and then took a train to Rostov-on-Don, a staging ground for the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Billy told his parents he intended to join a "humanitarian mission" delivering food and medical supplies to civilians in the war zone. While he was a self-taught expert on the region and could read Russian well, his parents remained uncertain if his humanitarian goals were his true or only purpose. On June 24, 2015, while his parents were on a bicycle trip, Billy sent a final, cryptic message stating that "plans have changed," ending all further communication. (2)1898

Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. In this segment, Forrest details his own investigation in Russia, aided by his personal history of living in Moscow and Kyiv for fifteen years. He teams up with Dmitri Turin, a private investigator hired by the Rileys after they realized the FBI would not help them. Forrest seeks to meet Mikhail Pollenov, the manager of the volunteer fighter camp where Billy stayed in Rostov-on-Don, but Pollenov refuses to meet. He does, however, find Elena Gorbacheva, a photojournalist who had taken pictures of Billy on the day he arrived. Another key contact is "the general," a former member of the Russian services and a longtime friend of Forrest, who introduces him to Anastasia Mikhailovska, a woman who becomes critical to the investigation. Forrest visits Rostov-on-Don in the summer of 2018, noting the city's historic connection to the Cossacks and its modern role as a staging point for Russian military activities in Ukraine. He discovers that the volunteer camp Billy visited had been largely "cleaned out" by the time of the 2018 World Cup. The segment also explores the administrative nature of Billy's role as a CHS, explaining how the FBI's post-9/11 "re-engineering project" sought to turn the bureau into an intelligence agency by recruiting people like Billy to gather information on terrorist conspiracies. A major point of intrigue is Billy's "Volga sojourn," a trip he took to cities like Volgograd and Ulyanovsk shortly after arriving in Russia, which perplexed his parents as it took him away from the Ukrainian border. Finally, Forrest notes the suspicious timing of a visit by Tim Rhames, Billy's main FBI handler, who appeared at the Riley home for the first time ever immediately after Billy went missing. (3)1891

Native New Yorker Bryan Stern served in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy; worked in military intelligence; is a Purple Heart recipient; 9/11 survivor; and a first responder. As a private citizen frustrated with the debacle that was the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan under the Biden administration, Bryan founded Grey Bull Rescue – a team of military vets who donate their time to rescue people caught in the worst countries in the world, and also aid in stateside catastrophes. In this first operation they helped evacuate 117 American citizens left to face the Taliban alone after the military withdrew.Since that first adventure, GBR has conducted over 600 missions around the globe, including in Ukraine. Bryan shares some of his high-octane adventures, and explains how mind over muscle is the way to find a solution to the tightest scrapes, and why Grey Bull is the best, last resource if you're a high-risk hostage or trapped behind enemy lines.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

From social media posts, comments, and the latest news headlines,  to the person who just cut you off in traffic—there are endless opportunities to be offended every day.  And we all handle “offenses” in various ways.  Some of us live unoffended but "stuff" our emotions.  Others carry grudges and live wanting revenge for offenses.  What if we decided to respond differently to the people around us in everyday life?  Together, let's learn how not to live “Trapped”.

Today's episode is about one word, sis. One tiny, three-letter word that is quietly deciding the direction of your entire recovery — and honestly, your entire life. "I want freedom, BUT I'm terrified." "I want to recover, BUT I've tried everything." "I want peace with food, BUT I don't trust myself." Sound familiar? That little word BUT is doing more damage than you realize — and today I'm handing you the one-word swap that changes everything. Grab your Tarjay journal, girl. This one's a game changer. BUT is a fixed mind Here's what the word BUT actually does: it erases everything that came before it. "I want freedom, BUT I'm scared." Do you hear it? The want just got deleted. The fear got the final word. BUT is a full stop dressed up as a sentence — it takes your desire and slams the door on it. BUT is the fixed mind talking. It says these two things can't exist together: if I'm scared, I can't move. If I've struggled before, I can't succeed now. If it's hard, it must not be for me. I lived in BUT for years. I want to get better, BUT this is just who I am. Every BUT was a brick in the wall between me and my freedom. AND is a growth mind Now watch what happens with one swap: "I want freedom, AND I'm scared." Both things get to be true. The fear doesn't erase the want. The want doesn't require the fear to disappear first. They walk together. AND is the growth mind: I can be terrified AND take the next step. I can have doubts AND keep going. I can have a history of struggle AND a future of freedom. This is how courageous women actually move — not by waiting for the fear to leave, but by letting the fear ride in the backseat while the want drives. Not one woman who ever got free stopped being scared first. They just stopped letting BUT have the last word. You can't choose both — choose one Coach Lindsey coming in hot, because I love you too much not to: you cannot live in BUT and AND at the same time. One kills the want; one carries it. So the next level of your life — the recovered you, the free you, the fully-present-at-the-dinner-table you — is asking you one question: what does this next level require from me? It starts here: choose your word. BUT or AND. Fixed or growth. The wall or the door. You're already choosing one, a hundred times a day, in the tiny sentences inside your head. Today, choose it on purpose. The longest walk you'll ever take My business mentor and coach James Wedmore says something that has never left me: "The greatest distance we will ever walk is between our head and our heart." And whew — is that the truth in recovery. Because your head already knows. You've listened to the podcasts, read the books — you could teach a class on what recovery requires. Knowledge isn't your problem, sis. The walk is from knowing it up here… to believing it in here. From "recovery is possible" as information to "recovery is possible FOR ME" as truth. And what carries you on that walk isn't more information — it's AND. Every time you say "I'm scared AND I'm doing it anyway," you take one more step from your head toward your heart. Every meal chosen in fear, every rest taken in doubt, every hand raised for help before you feel ready — those are the footsteps. That's the walk. Try it on Take your sentence — you know the one — and swap the word: "I want to be free, BUT I've had this for decades" → "I want to be free, AND I've had this for decades — so I know exactly how much this freedom is worth." "I want to trust myself, BUT I've broken promises to myself before" → "I want to trust myself, AND I'm learning to keep promises to myself, one at a time." Feel the difference? BUT ends the story. AND continues it. And sis — your story is not finished. A few lines from the episode "BUT is a full stop dressed up as a sentence." "The fear doesn't erase the want. They walk together." "Not one woman who ever got free stopped being scared first. She just stopped letting BUT have the last word." "The greatest distance we will ever walk is between our head and our heart." — James Wedmore "BUT is the wall. AND is the door." "I want this, AND I'm scared, AND I'm going anyway." Your homework this week Catch your BUTs. Every time you hear one in your head — I want this, BUT… — pause and swap it out loud: I want this, AND. Then take your biggest BUT sentence, write it in your journal, and rewrite it with AND. Watch what it opens. 'I want support, BUT…' — girl, swap it "I want support, AND I'm scared, AND I'm reaching out anyway." That's the move. And that's exactly what we do together! Connect with Lindsey:

In the dead of Winter, 1925, cave explorer Floyd Collins crawled, wiggled, and wormed 55 feet below the surface of a sandhole. He was on the hunt for a magnificent cave. But when his lantern began to flicker, he turned back. He re-entered the narrow passageway. In the confusion of darkness, he kicked a protruding rock. When he did, a boulder dropped on his leg. Dirt and debris buried him. Floyd Collins was trapped, 55 feet underground, in the complete dark. All he could do was scream and hope that someone would come to his rescue. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Collins, Homer, and John Lehrberger. The Life and Death of Floyd Collins.

וצד החרדה.En: But within this group, there's always someone who brings attention to the small things—and anxiety-prone moments.He: אליאור, שרעד כל פעם שראה חרקים, מזלו הפעם.En: Elior, who shivered every time he saw bugs, was in luck this time.He: "רק שאין פה ג'וקים," הוא מלמל.En: "Just as long as there are no cockroaches here," he muttered.He: השעה הייתה שעת צהריים בחודש אוגוסט.En: It was midday in August.He: האוויר עמד כאילו בודק גבולותיו.En: The air hung as if testing its limits.He: ברגע שהחלו לצלם, חבטה נשמעה מאחוריהם.En: As soon as they started filming, a thud sounded behind them.He: הדלת נסגרה.En: The door had closed.He: הם החלו להבין שהם לכודים.En: They began to realize they were trapped.He: "לא מאמין," לחשה מרים תוך כדי שהיא בודקת את הנייד.En: "I can't believe it," Miriam whispered as she checked her phone.He: "אין קליטה.En: "No signal."He: "אבנר רצה להמשיך בצילומים.En: Avner wanted to continue filming.He: "מה כבר יכול לקרות?En: "What could possibly happen?He: אפשר לביים ברגעים כאלה," הוא חייך באופטימיות.En: We can improvise in moments like these," he smiled optimistically.He: "אבל יש לנו משהו יותר חשוב לפתור עכשיו," מרים זכרה את האתגר האמיתי.En: "But we have something more important to solve now," Miriam remembered the real challenge.He: אליאור השקיע כל מאמץ נסתר בלחפש קליטה בעזרת הטלפון שלו, בעוד מרים חיפשה יציאה אחרת.En: Elior put every hidden effort into looking for a signal with his phone, while Miriam searched for another way out.He: פחדיו של אבנר בתחום אומנויות הבמה הומרו ברגע זה לפחד של אִמּוֹנִיוּת.En: Avner's fears in the field of performing arts had, at this moment, turned into a fear of reality.He: המצב התדרדר ברגע לפתע, כשמישהו בכוונה בלתי גמורה נגע בכפתור ישן, והאזהרות התחילו לצרוח בעצמה.En: The situation suddenly deteriorated when someone unintentionally touched an old button, and warnings began to scream loudly.He: ברגע אחד כל שדה המחסן החל לרעוד.En: In an instant, the entire warehouse started to shake.He: להקת יונים התפרצה במפתיע והחברים ניסו להגן על ראשיהם.En: A flock of pigeons burst out unexpectedly, and the friends tried to shield their heads.He: "המצלמה עדיין מצלמת?En: "Is the camera still rolling?"He: " צרח אבנר בין ציפור מצפצפצת לרקע שעולה לליבם.En: shouted Avner amid the chirping birds and the background that was rising in their hearts.He: בלית ברירה, הם מצאו חלון פתוח, וצעקו בבהלה.En: Out of necessity, they found an open window and shouted in panic.He: בדיוק אז שומר הביטחון הגיע לבחון את המקום, אך כל שנותר מאחור הייתה המצלמה, אשר תיעדה את כל הסיטואציה.En: At that moment, a security guard came to inspect the place, but all that remained was the camera, which captured the entire situation.He: כשיצאו בשטח בטוח, החבורה גילתה כי תיעדו את כל הבלאגן.En: Once they were in a safe zone, the group discovered that they had recorded all the chaos.He: אבנר למד שאפשר לייצר יציאה גדולה גם בדרכים יצירתיות ונטולת לחץ.En: Avner learned that one can make a grand exit through creative and pressure-free means.He: ודרך החוויה הזו, מרים גלתה שהיא יכולה לצחוק מכל הסיטואציה ואפילו להנות מה אבנר באמת התכוון כל הזמן, לחיות את הרגע.En: Through this experience, Miriam discovered she could laugh at the entire situation and even enjoy what Avner really meant all along—to live in the moment.He: אליאור, כשראה שהצליח להתמודד עם סיצואציה כה מאיימת ביחס, גילה שיש לו כוחות חבויים.En: Elior, seeing that he managed to cope with such an intimidating situation, found that he had hidden strengths.He: לסרחיב הזה נותר איזה סוג של סרטון הומוריסטי ששוטף את הרשת כיודעין עלילות שלושת החברים בשדה אינטרפרי ודרמטי.En: This venture ended up being a sort of humorous video that swept the internet, showcasing the adventurous tales of the three friends in an unpredictable and dramatic environment.He: ועוד יותר מזה, המשפט האחרון של מרים לא יוצא להם מהראש: "מי אמר שסרטון דרמטי לא יכול להיות גם מצחיק?En: And more than that, Miriam's last sentence stayed with them: "Who said a dramatic video can't also be funny?"

Water has long been at the center of debates about homeopathy, and Marcus sits down with homeopath and hydration educator Yasmine Miles to explore why. Yasmine shares how growing up with homeopathy, followed by her own struggles with PTSD, panic attacks, and digestive issues while studying biomedical science, ultimately led her to pursue homeopathy after experiencing meaningful improvements in her health. Their conversation traces her journey through skepticism, criticism from the biomedical community, and a growing interest in the science of water. Together, they discuss topics including water memory, coherent water domains, and research exploring how water may interact with biological systems and homeopathic remedies. Episode Highlights: 03:39 - Why So Many Find Homeopathy Last 07:00 - When Everything Suddenly Made Sense 08:23 - Trapped in the System 09:19 - The Healing Hidden in Plain Sight 12:32 - Homeopathy Finds You 16:17 - Facing Skeptics Head On 19:25 - Flexner Report Backstory 22:24 - Dr. Pollack's work on the fourth phase of water 24:08 - Infrared Boosts EZ Water 27:09 - Water Memory Proof 29:39 - Succussion Mechanism 32:20 - Understanding Coherent Water Domains 37:01 - The Overlooked Role of Water 39:11 - Key Not Cure About my Guests: Yasmine Miles LCHE, BSc (Hons) is a Homeopath, Flower Essence Practitioner, and Hydration Educator.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.The Bible is full of so many amazing stories! Obvious right?! Okay, but humor me for a moment. The mind reels as we read of the cosmos created. The pulse races as the rain beats against the side of the ark and then lifts it up into the waves. The heart swells when Noah and his family stand again on solid ground gazing at the rainbow, the soaring symbol of God's covenant. There are so many big stories with big heroes (Abraham, David, Elijah to name a few) whose stories are packed with adrenaline.There are also hundreds of “minor” characters, men and women we find in only a handful of verses, that—if we stop and think about—have outsized testimonies of God's faithfulness. One great example of someone in the Bible often looked over—just as she was in life—is Leah (Genesis 29.15). Left to our own rushed reading we'd be excused for missing her. If Jacob and Rachel's love story is a chapter, Leah is an easily lost footnote. Rachel is described for her striking beauty, but only Leah's eyes are noticed (29.17). Which is poetically telling. Leah alone sees how unseen she is. She's overlooked by everyone around her, and she sees it. She's a side character in the story of her own life.Trapped in a loveless marriage, Leah tries to be seen based on the best ideas of her place and time. Barnabe Assohoto insightfully shows us how, “Leah's reasoning is a product of her culture. She was sure that Jacob would love her if she bore him sons. That is why she greeted Reuben's birth with the words, ‘Surely my husband will love me now' (29.32).” Reuben's name literally translates, “See, a son!”Leah's story is amazing, but not in the ways we might expect. She doesn't win over her husband. She doesn't gain the respect from others she deserves. What she gains is something far greater: she is seen by God (29.31). It takes Leah a while to get past her best efforts to discover the One who sees her and loves her. (Sound familiar?) Seeing Leah's life, we find an amazing truth for our own: we too are seen and beloved by God.

Stranded in the Nicaraguan jungle beside an ancient temple, three adventurers and their companions discover its priests serve a horror that's all too real — man-sized vampire bats with an appetite for human blood."Temple of Vampires," an installment of Carlton E. Morse's I Love a Mystery (originally aired January 02-27, 1950), follows adventurers Jack, Doc, and Reggie as they fly toward Central America with heiress Sonny Richards and a mysterious stowaway boy named Hermie. Water-tainted gasoline forces their plane down on the shore of Lake Nicaragua, near an ancient jungle temple. Exploring it, they find a blood-drained Indian corpse and a pit of human bones, then encounter the temple's inhabitants — a beautiful priestess named Angelina and a priest named Manuel — who claim to be servants of "sacred vampires," giant man-sized bats bred over generations for human sacrifice. Angelina fixates on carrying off Hermie for his pale skin, while Manuel abducts Sonny with designs of his own. Trapped by nightfall and a tropical storm, the comrades face a harrowing ordeal of rope-swings between dizzying high ledges, captures, and near-sacrifices as they fight to get everyone out of the temple alive.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

The Fantasy Loop™ doesn't happen randomly. It shows up in seven very specific relationship dynamics and life situations — and once you can name them, you'll start seeing them everywhere. In your past relationships. In your current patterns. In your friends. And if you're honest, in yourself.In Episode 318 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt breaks down the 7 dynamics most likely to trap you inside The Fantasy Loop™ — and introduces a one-question tool to start breaking out of it.THE 7 DYNAMICS:1. Emotionally Unavailable RelationshipsYou're not relating to who they are. You're relating to their potential. As one client said: "I wasn't dating him. I was dating the future version of him." That is The Fantasy Loop™ in one sentence.2. The SituationshipSituationships are Fantasy Loop factories. No labels, no clarity, just enough connection to keep hope alive. The problem: the less information available, the more your imagination fills in the gaps. And eventually, the fantasy becomes stronger than the actual relationship. You're not grieving reality. You're grieving possibility.3. Long Distance and Online ConnectionsThe less physical reality you have, the more imagination takes over. More time imagining than experiencing. More time projecting than observing. More time building than verifying.4. The Ex You Can't Let Go OfYou're not holding onto the person. You're holding onto the fantasy of what you thought the relationship was —and the future you imagined. And if you don't separate the fantasy from the reality, you'll stay emotionally attached long after the relationship ends.5. Rescue DynamicsHelping becomes fixing. Fixing becomes saving. Saving becomes your identity. You're no longer relating to who they are — you're relating to who you hope they'll become with your help. That is not connection. That is projection. And projection always creates The Fantasy Loop™.6. The Future Fantasy LifeWhen I lose weight, when I make more money, when I launch my business, when I'm healed — then finally I can be happy. Then my life will begin. The Fantasy Loop™ convinces you fulfillment exists somewhere in the future. But the future never arrives, because every time you reach a milestone, the fantasy moves the goalposts.7. The Fantasy Version of YourselfThis may be the most painful loop of all. You spend so much time chasing your imagined self that you abandon the person who is here today. "I keep comparing myself to a version of me that doesn't even exist." Falling in love with your potential while abandoning your reality.All seven look different on the surface. Different people, different situations, different stories. But underneath, they're all built on the same foundation: emotional emptiness, ambiguity, longing, unmet needs, projection.And Brianne introduces The Truth Reset — a one-question tool to interrupt the loop: What is true right now? Not what you wish was true. Not what you hope could be true. What is true right now?Because truth is always, always going to break the fantasy.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
