Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# Your mind was never meant to be a battlefield, yet many believers find themselves trapped in cycles of fear, anxiety, torment, and negative thought patterns. In this powerful episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw teaches how spiritual warfare, neuroscience, and biblical truth intersect to bring healing to the mind and brain. When the enemy influences your thoughts, it can impact your physical health, emotional stability, and neurological function. Stress, fear, and torment can reinforce destructive neural pathways and open doors to spiritual oppression that keeps believers stuck in cycles of negativity. But the good news is that your brain is not fixed—God created it to be renewed, restored, and transformed. In this teaching, Kathy explains how Scripture, spiritual authority, and practical warfare strategies help break mind strongholds, dismantle demonic pressure, and retrain the brain through renewed thinking. You will learn why taking thoughts captive is essential for healing and how spiritual warfare plays a critical role in neurological freedom. Kathy also shares details about her upcoming Neurological and Mental Healing Intensive in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she will equip believers with practical tools to overcome mind-binding spirits, fear, anxiety, and mental torment while believing God for healing from neurological conditions. If you are battling fear, stress, depression, trauma, or negative thought cycles, this episode will empower you to reclaim your mind and walk in freedom. #spiritualwarfare #mindrenewal #neuroscienceandfaith #deliverance #healingthemind **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on Warfare Prayer Declarations at https://kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

Was passiert, wenn psychische Erkrankung nicht nur den Betroffenen belastet, sondern ganze Beziehungen erschüttert? In diesem Podcast geht es um Angehörige, Partnerschaft, Familie und den oft schmerzhaften Versuch, miteinander in Verbindung zu bleiben, obwohl Trauma, Überforderung, Missverständnisse und emotionale Verletzungen dazwischenstehen. Es geht um den Umgang von Angehörigen mit psychischer Erkrankung – und gleichzeitig um den Umgang mit Angehörigen aus der Sicht der Betroffenen.Wir sprechen über Retraumatisierung, Trigger, Bindungsangst, Verlustangst, Rückzug, Konflikte, emotionale Eskalation und darüber, warum Worte in Beziehungen so tief treffen können. Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt ist gewaltfreie Kommunikation in Partnerschaften, Beziehungen und familiären Verhältnissen: Wie kann man reden, ohne weiter zu verletzen? Wie kann man Grenzen setzen, ohne abzuwerten? Wie kann Verständnis entstehen, ohne die eigene Belastung zu verleugnen?Dieser Podcast ist für Betroffene, Angehörige, Partner und Familien, die psychische Erkrankung besser verstehen, gesünder kommunizieren und Beziehungen stabilisieren wollen.

Topical steroid withdrawal syndrome is finally getting the serious attention it deserves. In this episode, talk about the first published criteria to help doctors diagnose TSW (also known as red skin syndrome) and why it will help validate the experience of people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told they simply have severe eczema. We also dig into the growing gap between patient experience and conventional dermatology, and why that disconnect has left so many people searching for answers on their own.Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman, DACM, L.Ac, Dipl.OM, joins me to discuss this and more! She is the owner of Amethyst Holistic Skin Solutions and brings extensive training in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and dermatology to this timely discussion.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Why do we miss someone who hurt us?In this deeply honest episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, hosts LaWayna Berry and Teresa Reiniger explore one of the most confusing layers of grief: grieving someone who caused you pain.Leaving a relationship that isn't healthy should feel like freedom — but often it doesn't. It can feel like loss, heartbreak, and the death of the future you thought you would have. LaWayna shares her personal story of divorce, trauma bonding, and the painful realization that love and harm can exist in the same relationship. Together, she and Teresa unpack the emotional complexity of attachment, the grief of lost dreams, and why protecting yourself doesn't mean you didn't love deeply.If you've ever questioned why leaving still hurts, or why you miss someone who didn't treat you well, this conversation will remind you that your grief is valid — and you're not alone.

If you've ever felt pressure to be the "good girl," you're not the only one. Dr. Mindy has heard from thousands of women who feel exhausted by the pressure to be agreeable, accommodating, and selfless. Many women were taught that being good meant putting everyone else first. But over time, that pattern often leads to resentment, burnout, and a deep disconnection from your own voice. That's why Dr. Mindy invited writer and cultural critic Elise Loehnen to join her for this conversation. Elise is the former Chief Content Officer of goop and the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. Through her writing and podcast Pulling the Thread, Elise explores the cultural expectations that shape women's lives and how those expectations influence our relationships, emotions, and sense of identity. In this conversation, Dr. Mindy and Elise unpack the invisible rules women have been taught to live by for generations. They explore why women were conditioned to suppress emotions like anger and envy, how people-pleasing shows up in female friendships, and why learning to trust your intuition is one of the most important skills a woman can develop. In this episode, you'll learn how to: -Reconnect with your intuition and inner authority -Understand the cultural conditioning shaping women's behavior -Recognize how suppressed emotions impact your health -Navigate female friendships with more awareness -Step out of people-pleasing patterns -Reclaim your voice and authenticity For any woman who feels like she has been living by expectations that don't truly belong to her, this conversation offers a new perspective. It helps you understand where those patterns came from and how to begin trusting yourself again.

In this special Q&A episode, Laura is tackling a few questions that have been coming up a lot lately around mental health and relationships. She shares some interesting trends showing up in 2026—from people switching to “brick phones” to set better digital boundaries, to the danger of self-diagnosis and conversations around family boundaries. Then she covers some practical questions: How do you know if you might need counseling? How can you suggest therapy to someone you care about without it coming across the wrong way? And what do you do if you're someone who's afraid of making mistakes? If you've ever asked any of these questions - this episode is for you.

This week's guests, perinatal mental health therapists Emily Souder and Mahaley Patel, share the story behind their book Your NICU Story: Reflecting on Your Family's Experience—a guided journal created to help families process the emotional impact of a NICU stay. Mahaley also opens up about her daughter, Sachi, who died after a NICU stay, and how storytelling and narrative healing became a lifeline in her grief. She and Emily talk with Katie about why so many NICU parents carry trauma long after discharge and how writing your story can help families reconnect with what they experienced. They also discuss the emotional weight of making medical decisions during a NICU stay, the importance of compassionate healthcare providers, and why healing sometimes begins months or even years later. If you've ever struggled to process a NICU experience—or wondered how to revisit it in a way that feels safe and meaningful—this conversation offers powerful insight and hope. Emily and Mahaley's biggest message? Your story deserves space, compassion, and time—and reflecting on it can be an important step toward healing.

Matt has played a personal role in Savannah's life over the years, helping her navigate some of the hardest seasons she's faced, so this episode is less like an interview and more like an honest conversation between two people who've done the work.Matt opens up about the moment his own marriage nearly fell apart and the long road it took to rebuild it. What followed was years of therapy, confronting ego, childhood wounds, and the painful realization that healing requires you to face the parts of yourself you'd rather avoid. Savannah shares pieces of her own journey along the way, including the ways trauma and trust can show up in relationships long after the moment that caused them.They talk about secrets, emotional safety, attachment styles, and why so many couples unknowingly repeat the same patterns in their relationships.

It can carry through families and generations if the work isn't done.From inner child work and therapy breakthroughs to the importance of repair after conflict, this episode is full of practical insight for anyone trying to build healthier relationships with themselves and the people they love.Because healing may be simple… but it's rarely easy.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- Wildgrain: Get $30 off your first box, plus FREE croissants FOR LIFE at https://www.wildgrain.com/unlocked or you can use promo code UNLOCKED at checkout!- Progressive: Join the over 28 million drivers who trust Progressive.

In this powerful episode of The Feminine Frequency, Amy Natalie sits down with trauma coach and entrepreneur Michael Unbroken to explore the raw reality of high-level success and the "existential crisis" that often accompanies it. Michael shares his journey from a childhood of extreme adversity to the heights of fame and wealth—and the moment he realized he had lost himself in the process. This conversation is a masterclass in shedding the ego, reclaiming personal agency, and the brutal necessity of truth-telling. Michael and Amy dive deep into the differences between masculine and feminine healing, the myth of "feeling ready," and why discipline will always outperform self-belief.Key Episode ThemesNavigating the disconnect between external accolades (private jets and billboards) and the internal need for soul-aligned purpose.How childhood trauma creates a "survival habit" of dishonesty and the necessity of "paying the taxes"—facing the consequences of truth—to find real freedom.Michael's process of turning horrific childhood experiences into a global mission to ensure no child has to endure the same.Shifting from the narrative of "what happened to me" to the radical responsibility of "who I am choosing to be."Why waiting for confidence is a trap and how 365 days of disciplined action creates the belief that motivation cannot.A nuanced look at how different energies require different coaching styles—challenging the "ego" versus holding a "delicate container" for healing.Using a 10-year vision to audit daily habits and the "mental masturbation" of consuming content without taking action.Why the path to the "Phoenix" requires walking through the smoldering ashes of a life built on false pretenses.SPECIAL OFFER:

Do you know your unique stress personality pattern? What if your stress isn't coming from your workload… but from a hidden personality pattern running your life? Why do some people shut down under pressure, others explode, and others spiral into anxiety and overwhelm? And what if understanding your unique stress personality could completely transform your productivity, health, and leadership? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Dr. Trupti Gokani, board-certified neurologist, stress expert, and author of The Stress Rx: A Neurologist's Ayurvedic Prescription for Happiness and Health. Together, they explore the powerful connection between stress, trauma, brain function, and performance. Dr. Gokani explains how stress hijacks the brain, shifting control from the prefrontal cortex to the amygdala and survival centers. When that happens, we lose clarity, creativity, and executive function. Instead, we default into reactive patterns rooted in ancient wiring and often unresolved trauma. Drawing from Ayurvedic medicine and neuroscience, she breaks down the three stress personality states: windy (scattered and anxious), fiery (critical and reactive), and earthy (withdrawn and stuck). Understanding your state is the first step toward reclaiming balance. They also explore how hidden trauma, limiting beliefs, and unconscious narratives quietly shape leadership style, workplace dynamics, burnout, and even chronic illness. Through breathwork, awareness, and simple daily practices, Dr. Gokani shares how anyone can interrupt the stress cycle and return to optimal performance. If you want greater clarity, energy, emotional resilience, and productivity, this conversation offers both science and practical tools to help you reset from the inside out.   What We Discuss [02:05] Introduction to Dr.Trupti Gokani [03:45] The relevance of stress today [04:47] Dr. Kokanee's personal journey with stress [06:34] Defining true healthy: Western vs. Eastern perspectives [08:08] The disconnection of mind, body, and spirit in medicine [09:09] Stress personality states & Vedic elements [12:05] How stress states show up at work [14:46] Early trauma and generational influence [22:57] The power of narrative and self-talk [24:14] The three-brain model & emotional awareness [26:14] Creating space between stimulus and response [28:16] Physical manifestations of emotional stress [35:17] Types of trauma and workplace dynamics [36:34] Limiting beliefs and the reticular activating system [41:19] Key practice: self-awareness and the stress quiz [42:42] Closing thoughts & where to learn more   Notable Quotes [05:16]  " I got into the stress world because of my own journey with trying to understand why 30 years ago I was struggling with sleep issues." – Dr. Trupti Gokani [06:08] " Once I discovered my stress state, I was able to help others figure theirs out." – Dr. Trupti Gokani [06:55]  "What healthy really is is being in that state of optimal mind, body, and spirit."– Dr. Trupti Gokani [19:57] "When someone's at work and saying, "Why am I so scattered? Why am I so stressed?" remind yourself first and foremost, this isn't you. This is your personality, your alter ego, showing up to protect you from perceived danger." – Dr. Trupti Gokani [32:46] " Trauma is when the experience has fundamentally shifted your reactive state, meaning that you start to now look at things in a different way and your nervous system is a little bit more on danger mode.It's almost perceiving danger and danger doesn't exist." – Dr. Trupti Gokani [43:53] " Life is a journey.

➡️ Get the full episode breakdown at Biology of Trauma® Podcast – Episode 164: Could Your Trauma Be Disrupting Your Metabolism? The Weight Health Conversation What if the reason your body is holding onto weight has nothing to do with what you're eating — and everything to do with hormones you may not have heard about?  In this episode, Dr. Aimie talks with registered dietitian and author Ashley Koff to unpack the hidden world of weight health hormones: GLP-1, leptin, ghrelin, and more — and why optimizing them matters for everybody, not just people trying to lose weight. What you'll hear will change how you see your body — not as something failing you, but as a sophisticated ecosystem sending you signals worth decoding. Ashley reveals why 93% of Americans are metabolically dysregulated, how trauma and chronic stress directly suppress the hormones that regulate metabolism and body composition, and why "weight loss" as a goal is actually working against your biology.

Welcome back to Practically Pastoring. Andrew hosts Jeff, Del, Frank, and guest missionary Zach Harrod, serving in Prague, for an episode that is equal parts pastoral weight, practical systems, and classic pastor banter.Question 1, Kids ministry trauma and safetyA church leader asks how to care well for an 11-year-old who disclosed abuse (now under investigation by police and CPS) while also protecting other kids and volunteers. The crew talks through trauma-informed ministry, supervision, and wise safeguards that communicate compassion without ignoring safety.Key takeawaysDo not create “reactionary policy” for one child. Build trauma-aware practices that serve your whole next-gen ministry.Consider training for children's and youth volunteers so everyone understands trauma, triggers, and appropriate response.Use a “big buddy” approach: an extra trusted adult in the room who can provide stability, keep eyes on the situation, and help de-escalate without stigmatizing the child.Care for the parents too. Church family means supporting the whole household, not just managing behavior on Sundays.Write an emergency action plan for kids ministry: clear steps for escalation, who does what, and how you protect the room if an incident occurs.Be proactive, not reactive. Policies and plans made ahead of time protect kids, volunteers, and the church.Question 2, Tracking online attendanceA question from Reddit asks how to track online attendance across YouTube, Facebook, and streaming platforms without constantly rewriting numbers. The team talks about defining what “attendance” means, avoiding inflated or unethical reporting, and remembering that online engagement is not the same as embodied discipleship, while still acknowledging the value streaming can have for shut-ins, medically vulnerable families, and certain demographics.Practical tips discussedDecide what metric you mean before you track it, since each platform counts differently.Consider peak simultaneous viewers as a simple, consistent metric.Tools like Restream can provide reporting on peak viewership by platform, and send post-stream summaries.Question 3, Bible marking without regretA listener asks for real systems for marking up a high-quality wide-margin Bible without ending up with a mess. The crew shares approaches ranging from keeping a separate “study Bible,” to using clear sticky notes for temporary markings, to building a color-coded system, to writing prayers and notes with legacy in mind for kids and future readers.GuestZach Harrod shares his story of coming to faith, long-term ministry in Prague, and how proactive planning and “respond, don't react” leadership instincts translate into church life and family care.Learn more about Zach and his ministry at http://harrodovi.comLinks mentionedChurch Merch: promotionsguy.com/churchmerchThe Body Keeps the Score (recommended reading) https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748Chapters00:00 Intro and Zach Harrod joins the show03:00 Question 1, Kids ministry trauma and the Big Buddy Plan24:00 Church Merch sponsor31:00 Question 2, Tracking online attendance across platforms52:00 Question 3, Bible marking systems that work1:10:00 Wrap-up and Facebook group invite

Trauma does not just live in your memories—it lives in your brain. In this powerful teaching, Kathy DeGraw reveals how trauma creates neural pathways, opens doors to torment and fear, and how the power of deliverance and renewing the mind can bring true healing and neurological restoration.

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# In this episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw dives deep into the powerful connection between neuroscience, trauma, and spiritual deliverance. Many believers struggle with repeated cycles of fear, rejection, torment, and anxiety because trauma has created neurological survival loops in the brain. When painful experiences are repeatedly processed through negative thoughts, the brain forms neural pathways that expect fear, rejection, or trauma to happen again. These patterns can keep people trapped in mental strongholds and emotional pain. Kathy explains how the brain learns what it repeatedly experiences and how trauma can wire the mind for survival instead of faith. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, deliverance, and renewing the mind with God's truth, those neurological pathways can be retrained. As spiritual oppression is removed and truth replaces lies, new pathways of faith, hope, and peace begin to form. This episode also explores how demonic oppression often attaches to unresolved wounds and emotional pain, reinforcing negative thought patterns. Kathy shares practical strategies for healing trauma, identifying root causes through the Holy Spirit, journaling through emotional triggers, and partnering with God to renew the mind. You will also hear about Kathy's upcoming Neurological Healing and Mental Health Training, where she will teach how to address conditions such as autism, ADD, dementia, Parkinson's, and other neurological and mental health challenges from both a biblical and neuroscience perspective. This intensive training will equip believers, ministry teams, and families with powerful tools to bring healing and freedom to themselves and others. If you are battling trauma, fear, torment, anxiety, or mental strongholds, this teaching will help you understand how God designed the brain to heal and how deliverance and mind renewal can bring lasting transformation. #neuroscienceandfaith #traumahealing #deliveranceministry #renewthemind #spiritualwarfare  **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on Warfare Prayer Declarations at https://kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

Kaizoku ou ni ore wa naru! Today around the world, millions of fans who love Japan's hit manga/anime series, One Piece, are rejoicing for many reasons, including today's release of the live-action series season 2 on Netflix. Why do so many fans love these comical, earnest adventures of Captain Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates? Episode sponsors Firebreak by Kathy Tyers Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo The Hole-Man by Dan Daetz The Lorehaven Authorship Mission update New at Lorehaven: our book quest into fantasy Embergold Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes The hit manga just reached 600 million, matching Superman After 1,170+ chapters and nearly 30 years, creator Eiichiro Oda's pirates-with-powers story is sailing toward its final arcs. The popular anime is ending hiatus to resume in April. And today Netflix is christening the live series Season 2, after 2023's Season 1 happily broke the “anime to live-action curse.” Oh, and this just in: last week Oda and crew made the meme come true. He really did write down the answer to “what is the One Piece,” the treasure sought by every pirate. He locked this in a chest, buried it deep in the sea, and initiated a great fan-pirate era. But spoiler alert: I think I know the secret of the One Piece. And by the end of this episode, I shall spell out my grand fan theory. Mission update New at Lorehaven: our book quest into fantasy Embergold Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild The Mugiwara (Straw Hat) Pirates of One Piece, with friends from Fishman Island. 1. One Piece plots with deep heroic ambition. Plot summary: Luffy sets his goal of becoming king of the pirates. He recruits a crew with other goals, yet following him as captain. Over many years and arcs, their goals all begin to come together. It's a celebration of labor, pain, reward, and growing to maturity. So it's like “follow your dream” but much longer, deeper, complex. After all, dreams/goals lead to disloyalty, idolatry, and overwork. One day I had to stop watching One Piece for good reason. Why? I had been overworked and needed more rest than ambition. Altogether it's a reminder of the great adventure that's often hard. In a world of “you're great as you are,” this is a worthy challenge. 2. One Piece recruits a nakama pirate crew. And yet this story isn't just about individuals with selfish interests. Everyone in the Straw Hat pirate crew grows in their relationships. It's much like a “found family” but not without natural family bonds. Some of them have deep childhood trauma and must find healing. Villains also have tragic pasts, but are also evil and must go down. Trauma is serious, death is permanent, and personal loss will sting. Many fans (myself included) find this “wacky realism” refreshing. Oda wisely avoids and mocks the idea of romance among the crew. And also wisely, the live-action series reflects all of these themes. That's one reason One Piece LA broke the live-action-anime curse. 3. One Piece sails to fantastical new worlds. Fans praise Oda's worldbuilding that is indeed massively creative. Fantasy meets sci-fi meets horror, in land, sky, and deep oceans. Each island brings new crises and often many evil leaders to fight. Thus, Luffy and the Straw Hats have toppled multiple dictatorships. It's all part of Luffy's strong views of loyalty to friends and freedom. And now the Straw Hat Jolly Roger flag appears in real Some fans recoil from Oda's art style, reflecting well in the anime. Characters often have wacky proportions, heavy on caricature. And alas, manga/anime is fond of “comedic” nudity/sexual imagery. Yet with cautions, you can now enjoy this story in many art forms. BONUS: has Stephen found the One Piece? Some fans believe the One Piece is more of a traditional treasure. Others claim a metaphor, e.g. “the friends we made along the way.” But I think the series has given us plenty of clues to identify it. For the treasure chest, Oda wrote, “As for the One Piece, it is …” If fans found the buried paper, they'd read: (continued in episode!) Com station Top question for listeners What's your favorite crazy story with wild action and heroic heart? Next on Fantastical Truth Adaptations. Sometimes we act like we don't like them. But sometimes we do. And sometimes each new version of a story—book to film or TV show—changes the original but adds something new and amazing. So next week, we'll explore the pros and cons of adaptation, whether it's One Piece, or The Pendragon Cycle, or the latest superhero retelling.

Jamie Grant Counselors Jamie Grant and Heather Parker answer the question, "Does my anger matter to God?" They discuss about how it is so often misunderstood in the church in this conversation with Dr. Kay Daigle. Heather Parker Because anger can masquerade as depression, we often fail to deal with it correctly. Trauma in children may cause anger that leads to other issues as they become adults. This insightful conversation can help us recognize anger and appropriately get help to deal with it. This is an important topic for not only Christian leaders as they help others, but it is for all of us, knowing that we all deal with anger and that it matters to God.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to this podcast and video episode. Today we're talking about anger with our guests, Heather Parker and Jamie Grant. Welcome, ladies. Jamie >> Thank you. Heather >> Thanks for having us. Kay >> Well, I'm excited about this conversation, and I feel like this is an important one right now. But let me just introduce these gals quickly. Jamie is a licensed professional counselor, and she graduated with a degree in counseling from Dallas Seminary. And she specializes in working with adults with complex trauma. She practices in a private practice here in North Dallas. And Heather is in Birmingham. And she practices at Waterstone Counseling. She's also a licensed professional counselor and supervisor and she specializes in helping people overcome trauma. So both of them work with people with trauma issues and that's how we started talking about what to talk about. And they brought up anger as a possible topic. And I was so delighted that you did that, because our society is just full of so much anger right now. I don't think I've ever seen so much anger in my lifetime. And I'm old. So, you know, this is this is a very unique time, at least for the last, you know, century, I would say as far as anger is concerned. There's just a lot of hatred and a lot of anger toward anyone that doesn't agree with whoever it is. So all sides have anger. And so let's just talk a little bit about anger. Let's begin with us being Christians. I think it's great to set the standard for where God comes from on anger, because we know God gets angry. God talks about God's anger and he talks about it in the Bible. So what does the Scripture show us about God's anger, You want to start us out, Jamie? Jamie >> Sure. And without, you know, having a kind of list of the different references, just kind of a general idea of the God's anger in the Scripture. I mean, so many times I hear people or I have heard people delineate or make this delineation between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. The God of the Old Testament seems so full of anger and wrath. And, you know, Jesus comes along and has like this compassion. And so I think it's really important to remember the God of the Old Testament is the same. God is the God in the New Testament. And, you know, Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are all one. So there is no delineation; God is not divided in himself....

What if the places where you feel the most emotionally reactive are actually invitations to grow? In today's workout, Alisa Keeton, founder and CEO of Revelation Wellness, invites you to move your body while engaging the Word of God—not just hearing it, but living it. Because Scripture calls us to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. So get your good body moving. However you choose to move today—walking, jogging, stretching, or simply breathing deeply—remember this: movement helps your body do what God designed it to do. Today's Scripture: Numbers 20:1–13 The Body and Our Emotions Our bodies are emotional places. Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk famously wrote The Body Keeps the Score, reminding us that emotions live in our bodies. No emotion is off the table. At their core, emotions are childlike signals. Your brain is simply trying to keep you safe. But emotional reactivity can reveal something deeper. Our emotional instability can show us the places where we're still growing. The places where we're still immature. The places where we need God's presence most. Questions to Reflect On While You Move As you get the blood flowing and settle into your movement today, consider: What have you seen God do in your life? What miracles has He already performed? Where might you be trying to fix things in your own strength? Emotional maturity isn't achieved through willpower. The cure is His presence. So today, breathe deep. Relax your shoulders. Keep moving. Let God meet you in your body, your breath, and your emotions.

 Dr. Debi Silber breaks down exactly why betrayal hits differently than other types of trauma — and why understanding that difference is the key to actually healing from it. Drawing on her PhD research and work with over 100,000 people, Dr. Debi explains the three discoveries that changed everything, why so many people suffer in silence, and how coaches and practitioners can better serve clients who've been betrayed.  Key Topics Discussed  The Three Discoveries from Dr. Debi's PhD Research  Betrayal is a different type of trauma that requires a different way to heal  There is a specific collection of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms so common to betrayal it's now known as Post Betrayal Syndrome®  Healing is proven and predictable — there are Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™, and we know what happens at every stage and what it takes to move through each one  Why Betrayal Is Different from Other Traumas  With other traumas, you grieve and rebuild your life. With betrayal, you must rebuild both your life and yourself — your sense of identity, safety, confidence, worthiness, trust, and belonging are all shattered.  The person who caused the harm is typically the same person you would have turned to for support — making betrayal uniquely isolating.  Unlike other traumas that draw community support, betrayal often brings silence, minimization, or abandonment from those closest to you.  Many betrayed people suffer alone — embarrassed, humiliated, and ashamed over something that was done tothem.  The Trust Shattering Effect When the person you trusted most proves untrustworthy, it doesn't just damage trust in them — it destroys your entire internal system for discerning trustworthiness. You stop trusting yourself. This is why telling betrayal survivors to "just trust in a low-stakes situation" misses the mark entirely.  What This Means for Coaches and Practitioners  Post Betrayal Syndrome® and the Five Stages were not part of your coaching, therapy, or somatic training — and it's not your fault.  Your most resistant, cycling, or plateau-ing clients may be betrayal clients — even if they're coming to you for something completely unrelated (weight, gut issues, anxiety, leadership struggles, business blocks).  Stage Three looks like "I'm fine" — but fine is functional, not transformed. Knowing the language of each stage helps you recognize when a client is ready to move deeper rather than exit the process early.  47% of people who've been betrayed have a weight issue. 45% have gut or digestive issues. Healing the root (betrayal) heals the symptoms.  Resources Mentioned  UNSTUCK: The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation — Dr. Debi's newest book, available now with bonuses at thepbtinstitute.com/unstuck: https://thepbtinstitute.com/unstuck/   PBT Certification Program — the #1 betrayal recovery certification for life, business, health, and leadership coaches (ICF-approved): https://thepbtinstitute.com/get-certified/   Waitlist for working with a certified PBT Coach: thepbtinstitute.com  Connect with Dr. Debi  Website: thepbtinstitute.com https://thepbtinstitute.com   Podcast: From Betrayal to Breakthrough

In this reflective episode of Tent Talk, Nancy invites listeners to slow down and refocus on the most essential priority of the believer's life—beholding the Lord. As seasons shift and life moves quickly from one demand to the next, it becomes increasingly important to guard our time with the Father and remain responsive to His leading. Nancy shares about the tension between busyness and true fellowship with God, reminding us that even good works can quietly replace walking with Him if we are not careful. True discipleship flows from abiding in Christ and cultivating deep fellowship with the Father through the leading of the Holy Spirit. Whether life feels routine or intense, the call remains the same: lean into Him, allow Him to set the rhythm of your life, and let your fellowship with Him become the source from which everything else flows.

If you feel lost as a man, unsure of your purpose, stuck in bad habits, or quietly carrying anxiety you can't explain—this conversation is a reset. Cody Jefferson (former pastor, founder of Embrace the Line) breaks down what authentic masculinity actually looks like in real life: not a beard, not bravado, not “alpha” performance—but integrity, leadership, emotional regulation, discipline, and faith-driven purpose. We talk about why so many men feel isolated today, how fatherlessness shows up even in homes with dads, and how social media creates a false picture that keeps men from getting help. If you've been battling complacency, porn, drinking, self-sabotage, or just the feeling that you're called to more but don't know where to start—this episode gives you a practical path forward. You'll hear a grounded framework for biblical masculinity, how to become a high-value man through responsibility, and how to build real strength through routine, community, and accountability. This is for men who want to protect, provide, pioneer—and stop playing small. You'll learn the three responsibilities that define healthy masculinity—protect, provide, and pioneer—and how to rebuild your identity around them. You'll hear how unresolved trauma gets mislabeled as “toxic masculinity” and why that confusion keeps men stuck in coping behaviors instead of growth. Cody lays out a simple daily structure (gratitude, reading, scripture, training, planning) that creates momentum and eliminates decision fatigue. We also unpack the problem inside modern church culture—why many churches get good at invitations but not discipleship, and why men need accountability, brotherhood, and a mission they can rally around. 00:00 Intro01:45 What masculinity really means02:59 Protect • Provide • Pioneer04:38 The men who shaped Cody08:37 What happens when men lack purpose10:31 Why men isolate and “fake it”12:35 Small-town mindset traps15:14 Money, stewardship, and playing bigger18:06 “Masculinity isn't toxic—trauma is”21:10 The church: invitation vs accountability25:05 Entertainment vs purpose26:20 How to start becoming the man you want28:25 Simple morning routine + micro wins33:12 Building community + accountability systems36:50 Final charge to men listening38:36 Where to find Cody #Masculinity #MensGrowth #ChristianMen #SelfDiscipline #Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.

In this gloriously unhinged deep‑dive into the Badlands of advantage play Blackjack, host Mike AP sits down with Chris and Steve for Part 3 of their marathon four‑hour blackjack saga. What starts as a chat about obscure deviations quickly spirals into a full‑blown AP therapy session: bankroll trauma, emotional damage, tribal‑casino war stories, Reddit bans, ploppy encounters, and the eternal truth that blackjack is basically a never‑ending boxing match where the casino is a heavyweight assassin and you're… well… you.The trio break down the real AP lifestyle — the wins, the losses, the “I just lost a house in one shoe” moments, the existential 2 a.m. parking‑lot stare‑downs, and the weird joy of using a deviation you practiced for months. They roast bad games, bad advice, bad risk‑of‑ruin math, and bad casino behavior. They also pitch a heartfelt recruitment ad for women APs (“please, for the love of God, email us”), share tales of side‑bet degeneracy, and explain why giving up your ID too early is the AP equivalent of tattooing your SSN on your forehead.If you love blackjack, advantage play, card counting, casino psychology, EV nerdery, and stories from the trenches, this episode is your buffet. If you're a ploppy… buckle up.SHOW NOTES

Leigh Ann sits down with Dr. Vershalee Shukla to explore how cancer screening is rapidly evolving beyond conventional tools like mammograms. Dr. Shukla explains why catching cancer at earlier stages can dramatically change treatment options and outcomes, and why safer screening matters more than ever as cancer rates rise in younger populations. Together, they discuss emerging technologies including QT ultrasound for breast screening, multi-cancer blood tests, whole-body MRI, and AI models designed to detect patterns long before symptoms appear. Dr. Shukla also breaks down the strengths and limitations of different liquid biopsy tests and explains why screening should be tailored to each person's age, risk factors, and history. Leigh Ann and Dr. Shukla also emphasize the importance of patient advocacy, personal responsibility, and seeking out newer technologies that may not yet be part of standard care.Product Discount Codes + LinksJuna: Website (Discount Code: LEIGHANN)Broc Shot: Website (Discount Code: LEIGHANNLINDSEY)Hoolest: Website (Discount Code: THEACCRESCENT10)Episode LinksC The Signs AIBe Sound Breast Scanning Guest InfoVincere Cancer Center - InstagramVincere Cancer Center - WebsiteRelated EpisodesPodcast Ep. 228: Dr. Lori Bouchard - The Missing Pieces in Cancer Care, Metabolism, Trauma, and Whole-Person HealingPodcast Ep. 213.

What if the places where you feel the most emotionally reactive are actually invitations to grow? In today's workout, Alisa Keeton, founder and CEO of Revelation Wellness, invites you to move your body while engaging the Word of God—not just hearing it, but living it. Because Scripture calls us to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. So get your good body moving. However you choose to move today—walking, jogging, stretching, or simply breathing deeply—remember this: movement helps your body do what God designed it to do. Today's Scripture: Numbers 20:1–13 The Body and Our Emotions Our bodies are emotional places. Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk famously wrote The Body Keeps the Score, reminding us that emotions live in our bodies. No emotion is off the table. At their core, emotions are childlike signals. Your brain is simply trying to keep you safe. But emotional reactivity can reveal something deeper. Our emotional instability can show us the places where we're still growing. The places where we're still immature. The places where we need God's presence most. Questions to Reflect On While You Move As you get the blood flowing and settle into your movement today, consider: What have you seen God do in your life? What miracles has He already performed? Where might you be trying to fix things in your own strength? Emotional maturity isn't achieved through willpower. The cure is His presence. So today, breathe deep. Relax your shoulders. Keep moving. Let God meet you in your body, your breath, and your emotions.

The word “trauma” is used so widely at present, arguably too widely. But it bespeaks a tenor of our shared reality. This episode is a journey inside what I've come to see as a parallel universe unfolding, where our species is unlocking knowledge about ourselves and capacities for radical healing of the most extreme trauma and distress. These findings are even giving rise to dramatic healing alliances across political and social lines that are inflamed in the culture at large.  At universities and research laboratories around the U.S. and world, there are countless clinical studies, yielding results it's hard not at times to call miraculous — for complex PTSD, long-term addiction, treatment-resistant depression. What I'm talking about are therapeutically-administered treatments with plant medicines and chemical compounds we call psychedelic or empathogenic. Use those words, and many of us — including me until not that long ago — might become wary. Like all forces of great power, these can cut in every direction — the dark and the light of the human condition. But the conversation you are about to hear, with one of the leading neuroscientists in this field, revolves around serious, important research in settings designed for careful, beneficial human effect. Gül Dölen's groundbreaking contribution to all of us is in her fascinating insight into what psychedelically-assisted therapies are revealing about the workings of the human brain and the brain's capacity to change and the human capacity for major transformation altogether. The potential consequences of this science are intimate and civilizational at once. I see them as a stunning ray of hope in a struggling world.

Paul and Amy pay tribute to the late Bud Cort by revisiting Hal Ashby's 1971 cult classic that somehow never shows up on the big movie lists.

Dr. Alok Kanojia, MD, MPH ("Dr. K"), is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and expert in both Eastern and Western medicine to improve mental health. He explains tools for unlearning maladaptive thoughts and behavior patterns and for making behaviors that better mental and physical well-being more reflexive in work, relationships and daily life.
