In this episode, I explore what it really takes to break free from the relationship patterns that keep us stuck—with trained educator and relationship expert Stefanos Sifandos. With a background in behavioral science, trauma, and somatics, Stefanos brings a grounded, embodied perspective to the way we love, attach, and relate to ourselves and others.We unpack how early experiences and unprocessed trauma quietly shape our nervous systems, our choices, and the dynamics we recreate in intimate relationships. Stefanos explains why awareness alone isn't enough, and how lasting change requires working with the body—not just the mind—to rewire safety, trust, and emotional regulation. If you've ever found yourself repeating the same cycles despite years of “knowing better,” this conversation sheds light on why that happens and what actually helps shift it.We also talk about self-leadership, emotional responsibility, and what it means to cultivate a healthier sense of self without bypassing the discomfort that growth often demands. Stefanos shares practical insights on boundaries, communication, and how to meet conflict as an opportunity for deeper connection rather than something to avoid or dominate.This episode is an invitation to relate more consciously to your partner, your past, and yourself. If you're committed to personal growth, healing relational wounds, and stepping into your highest potential with honesty and integrity, this conversation offers both clarity and depth.Order Stefanos' book, Tuned In and Turned On: A Path to True Connection, Deep Healing, and Lasting Love, at tunedinandturnedonbook.com.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Stephen Hussey—a clinician, author of Understanding The Heart, and a powerful force in rethinking everything we thought we knew about heart disease. Dr. Hussey's own journey began with type 1 diabetes as a child, and despite living a healthy, active lifestyle, he experienced a widowmaker heart attack at just 34 years old. In our conversation, he opens up about what it was like to face this crisis with "perfect" lab numbers, how it challenged his entire perspective, and ultimately led him to a radical new understanding of heart health and longevity.

Adam Roa's poem "You Are Who You've Been Looking For" reached over 250 million people. But before that poem existed, Adam spent 25 years emotionally shut down. He didn't remember his childhood sexual abuse until age 30. His journey reveals why creativity creates neurological safety for emotions that were once too overwhelming to feel. Creativity isn't about talent—it's about pattern disruption. When you turn pain into a poem or painting, you force your brain to view that experience differently. This episode explains why safety must come before expression and how the creative process rewires neural pathways when talk alone can't reach what's stored in the body. In This Episode You'll Learn: (01:00) What poetry has to do with your nervous system's capacity to heal (03:45) Why Adam's viral poem reached 250 million people (05:30) How childhood trauma stayed hidden for 25 years (08:00) Why acting became Adam's first safe space to feel emotions (12:00) The moment poetry became a survival mechanism after heartbreak (17:00) How creativity rewires neural pathways associated with traumatic events (22:00) Why one poem can play multiple roles in your healing journey (27:00) What happens when you write for yourself but release for others (32:00) Dr. Aimie shares her song "Letter to the Me" publicly for the first time (47:00) Adam performs "You Are Who You've Been Looking For" (54:00) The journey from viral success to learning what self-love actually means Resources/Guides: The Biology of Trauma book — Get your copy here Adam Roa's New Book — Crazy Love explores the journey of learning to truly love yourself.

Mental health challenges are often an overlooked part of thyroid and autoimmune disease and that matters more than most people realize.This episode explores the connection between mental health and thyroid autoimmunity, and why symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or brain fog are often biologically influenced, not just emotional. I walk through how thyroid hormone imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system regulation can affect mental well-being, including the role of the gut. We also look at how chronic stress and trauma can contribute to both thyroid issues and mental health symptoms. The focus is on a balanced, whole-body approach that prioritizes safety, individuality, and root causes rather than quick fixes.Tune in to better understand why mental health symptoms are so common in thyroid and autoimmune disease and what that connection really means.Episode Timeline: 0:02 – Mental Health and Thyroid1:25 – Hormones and Neurotransmitters2:55 – Anxiety and Hyperthyroidism4:05 – Depression and Low Thyroid5:15 – Autoimmunity and Inflammation6:45 – Neuroinflammation Explained8:10 – Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain9:36 – Stress, Trauma, and Thyroid12:40 – Nervous System Regulation14:50 – Gut Health and Mood17:30 – Nutrients and Mental Health18:47 – Medications and Mood Effects21:20 – Whole-Body Healing Approach23:40 – Key Takeaways and Next StepsIf you want to subscribe to my free Healing Graves' Naturally newsletter visithttps://savemythyroid.com/GravesNewsletter Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, physical abuse, substance abuse, and suicide. Listener discretion is strongly advised.In this powerful episode of The Human Experience, host Jennifer Peterkin sits down with Ruth Carroll—a survivor whose story spans decades of unimaginable abuse, yet who now stands as a beacon of hope and resilience.Ruth's story begins in the innocence of childhood, with memories of happy Christmases and playing in the front yard. But at age six, when her parents divorced without explanation, everything changed. Moving in with her grandparents at seven, Ruth entered a world of psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. From there, Ruth's life became a devastating cycle: constant abuse, relocations every six months that prevented her from forming friendships, a near-abduction at 15 that nearly ended in murder, running away at 16 to escape into an 18-year abusive marriage, and even encounters with demonic worship and threats against her life.Yet through it all—through two suicide attempts, years of being told she was worthless, and a nervous system perpetually on high alert—Ruth found unexpected gifts: a calling as an EMT where her trauma became her superpower, the strength to learn karate and car mechanics to prepare her escape, and ultimately, a relationship with God that anchored her healing.Now remarried for the right reasons, a professional photographer, and the author of a memoir, “Held By His Hands”, Ruth shares her story - not for shock value, but to tell even one person: You don't have to live like this. You are not alone. There is a way out.This is a story of survival, resilience, and the evergreen journey to true healing.This episode was recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania.MEET RUTH CARROLL:From the age of seven to thirty-five, Ruth's life was shaped in shadows—learning how to survive before she ever learned how to feel safe. Ruth walked through years of abuse, silence, and fear, carrying wounds no one could see. She escaped with her life, but I did not escape alone. God met her in the darkest places, lifted her from what tried to destroy her, and taught her heart how to breathe again. What was meant to break her became the soil where faith and healing took root. Ruth's story is one of survival, surrender, and the quiet power of grace.CONNECT WITH RUTH:Purchase Ruth's Memoir - Held By His HandsRuth's FacebookHeld By His Hands FacebookRuth's InstagramKEY TAKEAWAYSAbuse creates distorted normal: When abuse starts in childhood, victims have no baseline for healthy relationships—everything abusive becomes "normal."Abusers isolate their victims: Constant moving, controlling money, disabling cars, and cutting off support systems are all tactics to maintain power.Strangulation is a red flag for lethality: Non-fatal strangulation is one of the strongest predictors that an abuser will eventually kill their victim.Trauma can become a gift in unexpected ways: Ruth's history of trauma gave her unique resilience as an EMT—her different baseline allowed her to help others in crisis.Healing is not linear and takes time: Ruth didn't begin true healing until her 50s, after multiple failed relationships and years of codependency.You don't need to understand everything to escape: Ruth learned karate, car mechanics, and saved money without a clear plan—she just knew she needed skills to survive.Building community is important: The church gave Ruth her first understanding that she was loved and that the abuse wasn't her fault.Children need to be told what's happening: Ruth's parents never explained the divorce—this lack of information left her feeling abandoned and confused for decades.Breaking codependency requires solitude: Ruth needed five years living completely alone before she could enter a healthy relationship.You can break generational cycles: Ruth gave her children the boundaries and values she never received, even though she felt like she was failing them.IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988________________________________________________STAY CONNECTEDThe Human Experience Podcast | Instagram | FacebookThe Human Experience Legacies | InstagramConnect with Jennifer on Substack | LinkedInSupport the Podcast

Welcome back to “Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick.” In today's episode, Michael John Cusick and Julianne Cusick dive deep into the world of neurodiversity, focusing on the unique challenges faced by couples where one partner is neurodivergent, often navigating undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or related conditions. Drawing on both personal experience and extensive clinical work, Julianne Cusick shares valuable frameworks—including the “umbrella” of neurodiversity—and explains how overlapping diagnoses like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders often connect.Together, Michael and Julianne tackle the realities of trauma within neurodiverse relationships, especially the emotional impact on neurotypical partners who may feel unseen or misunderstood. They unpack terms like Cassandra Syndrome and Ongoing Traumatic Relationship Syndrome, revealing why typical marriage advice sometimes falls short for these couples. You'll also hear practical insights about the importance of attunement, how the absence of emotional mirroring can lead to lasting pain, and new paths forward—like specialized neurodiversity coaching and frameworks that finally bring clarity and hope.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

For many people with a history of chronic stress, attachment wounds, or complex trauma, boundaries don't land as neutral information — they register in the nervous system as abandonment, threat, or loss of connection. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore why that happens and what it actually takes to rewire those responses at the level that matters most: the body. This conversation reframes boundaries not as walls, ultimatums, or communication strategies, but as a nervous system skill that emerges from regulation, capacity, and internal coherence. Together with our guest, we unpack why setting boundaries from anger can feel easier than setting them from truth, why receiving boundaries can activate shame or collapse, and how post-traumatic growth allows boundaries to become a source of safety rather than disconnection. If you've ever understood boundaries intellectually but struggled to live them relationally, this episode offers a deeper, more compassionate lens — one rooted in neuroscience, somatics, and the lived process of healing. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Margy Feldhuhn, co-owner of Brain-Based Wellness, for a grounded, practical conversation about boundaries. The conversation addresses why boundaries can feel threatening for people with relational or developmental trauma, how control dynamics get confused with protection, and what it looks like to set limits without shame, punishment, or power struggles. Whether you struggle to set boundaries, feel triggered by others' boundaries, or worry about being "too much," this episode offers language and perspective that supports safety rather than disconnection.

Send us a textWhat if the very moment that almost broke you… was the moment that built you?He watched his best friend get shot six times at 16… and no one asked him how he was doing. No therapist. No safe space. Just silence, street code, and survival. In this raw and powerful episode of Self Reflection Podcast, Robert Harrison shares how that moment shaped his mental health, triggered PTSD, and eventually led him to turn trauma into purpose through therapy and trauma-informed fitness. If you've ever carried pain in silence, struggled with a father wound, or wondered how to transform trauma into strength — this conversation is for you.Robert shares the life-altering event that shaped his path — witnessing his best friend being shot six times as a teenager and carrying that trauma in silence. No therapist. No safe space. Just hypervigilance, survival mode, and the unspoken weight of PTSD. In a culture that discouraged vulnerability, he learned to cope alone. But what could have hardened him instead awakened him.From that moment forward, Robert chose a different story.Now a trauma-informed therapist and founder of Define Our Fitness, he uses weightlifting as a tool to regulate the nervous system, rebuild confidence, and restore emotional balance. In this episode, he breaks down how physical discipline reshapes brain chemistry, strengthens identity, and creates space for healing — proving that movement isn't just about muscles… it's about reclaiming your mind.But the conversation goes deeper.Lira and Robert explore father wounds and generational trauma — what it means to forgive a parent who couldn't show up, how compassion doesn't excuse harm, and how breaking cycles requires awareness, discipline, and grace. They discuss addiction through a lens of empathy, the moral compass and mental health connection, and why living out of alignment with your values quietly erodes your inner peace.Robert also opens up about his time in law enforcement as a Black officer navigating systems that didn't fully accept him — and how choosing alignment over security changed the trajectory of his life.This episode is about responsibility without shame. Compassion without weakness. Strength without ego.It is about becoming the person you once needed.If you have ever wrestled with trauma, questioned your path, struggled with forgiveness, or felt out of alignment with who you truly are — this conversation will meet you there.Your past does not disqualify you.Your pain does not define you.Your struggle can still write a better ending.Healing is not passive. It is chosen.If this episode resonated with you, take a moment to follow, rate, and subscribe to Self Reflection Podcast on Spotify and across all major platforms.Share this conversation with someone who needs encouragement today.Join our growing community and continue the journey of self-reflection with us.Follow Lira on Instagram: @lira_ndifonExplore Robert's worSupport the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Unlicensed Medicine: Releasing Ancestral Trauma and Unleashing the Power of your Lineage by Dr. Meher Chahal Drmeherchahal.com https://www.amazon.com/Unlicensed-Medicine-Releasing-Ancestral-Unleashing/dp/1967587345 What if the emotional trauma you’re carrying isn’t even yours? Dr. Meher Chahal thought she had escaped her childhood trauma and shadows by becoming a psychiatrist. Initially, she was passionate about joining psychiatry as a result of her mother's schizophrenia and the impact of the illness on her family system. But everything unraveled when she discovered her maternal ancestor was found guilty of the murder of her husband in a trial that made Indian Supreme Court history. Her carefully built career, her denial of past trauma, even her sense of self—suddenly, none of it felt real. In Unlicensed Medicine, Dr. Chahal takes you on a raw, unflinching journey from psychiatric residency to ancestral healing, revealing how generational trauma lives in our bodies and shapes our lives in ways we never imagined. This ancestral trauma essentially becomes a soul-level karmic debt that a child carries out of love and loyalty to the family system of origin. This isn’t your typical self-help book filled with gentle affirmations. This is shadow work for the brave—a guide to facing the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding and alchemizing your deepest wounds into power. Through the lens of Family Constellations and somatic healing, Chahal shows us that breaking generational cycles requires more than positive thinking, conventional medications, and talk therapy. It demands radical honesty, nervous system rewiring, and the courage to feel everything you’ve been running from. If you’ve ever wondered: Why you keep repeating the same painful and self-sabotage patterns Why meditation alone isn’t enough Why your “perfect” life still feels empty What’s really beneath your anxiety, depression, or unexplained rage This book is your wake-up call. This is root cause healing at the deepest layer of all trauma. Something which most self-help books miss. Drawing from both Western psychiatry and spiritual healing on a soul level. Dr. Chahal offers a revolutionary approach to understanding trauma—not just as personal wounds, but as inherited burdens passed down through generations. With unflinching vulnerability, she shares her own journey of pain, discovery, and continuous healing—because this work is never truly “done,” and that’s exactly the point. Unlicensed Medicine is for seekers who are done with surface-level healing. For those brave enough to look into the shadow cage and reclaim what’s been hidden there. For anyone ready to honor their ancestors while returning their unprocessed pain. You are the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for. Warning: Side effects include sudden self-awareness, expanding your consciousness, audacious authenticity, and the uncomfortable realisation that most healing modalities don't even come close to the root. The Good News? This powerful healing therapy may just heal your relationship with money, power, sex, and love! Since these are all deeply intertwined in the systemic constellation quantum field. After all, what's the point of healing if it's not practically useful? Because the experience of the material world is the most spiritual experience for a soul on this planet. About the author Indian-American doctor, model, psychological astrologer, angel investor and visionary entrepreneur trained in Family Constellation therapy Born into a lineage marked by her mother's schizophrenia and a murder in her maternal line, she experienced firsthand the weight of trauma that Western medicine alone could not explain. After 11 years in medicine and psychiatry, she left the conventional path to follow a deeper calling. Her discovery and training in Family Constellations revealed a system she calls the most powerful healing modality on the planet — one that unites the science of epigenetics with the wisdom of the soul.
Send us a textThere is a truth most women never say out loud: sometimes the love we fight hardest for is the same love that destroys us.If you've ever found yourself asking:Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable or narcissistic men?Why do I ignore red flags I can clearly feel in my body?Why do I love like a healer but end up hurting like a survivor?Today on The Dimple Bindra Show, we go straight into the psychology, wounds, energy, and soul-patterns that pull high-achieving, intuitive, “old soul” women toward toxic partners and how to break that magnet once and for all.I'm joined by Dr. Sage Breslin, America's Narcissist Recovery Expert. She's a psychologist, author, intuitive, and transformational mentor who has helped countless women dissolve their narcissist magnet and reclaim their power and a survivor of narcissistic abuse and a near-fatal cancer diagnosis that became the catalyst for her awakening.In this raw conversation, we explore:
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday we are welcomed back by podcast guest regular: Rape, trafficking, and abduction survivor, overcomer and warrior, devoted wife and loving mother, podcast host, content creator, author and blogger, singer and performer, vocal coach, entrepreneur, Epstein, Trump, and Ghislane Maxwell Recruit, beauty queen - past and present, and someone I've been honored to call a long-term dear friend, Molly Skye Brown. A little bit about Molly if you are new to her story, and what we will be discussing today.Born in the sun-soaked suburbs of California, Molly Skye Brown entered the world with a voice destined to echo far beyond her years. From a young age, she was a prodigy: an honor student, classically trained vocalist, and aspiring lawyer, with dreams as vast as the Atlantic horizon. But beneath this promising facade lurked early shadows of horror. At just nine years old, Molly endured a brutal rape, the first in a series of assaults that would test her resilience to its core. The first brush with the Epstein-Maxwell web came in 1992, when Molly was only 14 or 15, working at a local gym in Jupiter to earn a free membership. Dressed modestly in a sports bra and shorts after her shift, she caught the eye of Ghislaine Maxwell, who approached her with a business card and a predatory gleam. "You could easily pass for 18," Maxwell said, dangling offers of Victoria's Secret modeling gigs complete with international travel and massages. Trauma compounded in Molly's late teens and early twenties. Abducted and raped by a producer at an MTV event in 2000, she spiraled into depression, flunking out of school and hiding her pain. A year later, haunted by suicidal ideations on the assault's anniversary, she checked into Columbia Hospital in Palm Beach for help. There, fate twisted cruelly: her roommate was Lisa Villanu, a 19-year-old recruiter born into the trafficking world, who outranked her own parents in their shadowy hierarchy. Lisa befriended Molly, learning of her vulnerabilities, and soon lured her into the Epstein orbit under the guise of friendship.In late 2001, shortly after 9/11, Lisa drove Molly to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion for what was pitched as a casual holiday gathering. Instead, it was a meticulously orchestrated "matchmaking" event - a marketplace of exploitation where young women were paraded before wealthy men. Repulsed, Molly resisted, noting the red flags - the drug offers, the private "meetings," and the young girl asleep in a red-lit room amid making-out adults.But the past resurfaced in 2019 when news of Epstein's arrest triggered memories. Molly pieced together the puzzle: the gym recruiter was Maxwell, the party was a trafficking hub. Speaking out on social media and podcasts, she faced vicious backlash - and endless harassment from alleged Epstein victims and survivors - which is what we will be talking about and exposing today along with her revelations about Trump, Maxwell and Epstein and the information that has been deliberately suppressed and covered up through the limited hangout ‘Epstein Files' and narrative controlled by mainstream media and mainstream ‘alt media'.

In this powerful episode of Tent Talk, Nancy continues the House in Order series by urging sons to step out of passivity and into disciplined, maturing preparation. With insights drawn from Isaiah 4, Ephesians 2 and 4, and Hebrews 5, she challenges listeners to rise from emotional, soulish fellowships into the high call of spiritual precision, alignment, and readiness. As God dismantles structures that no longer serve Him, Nancy calls for an end to sentimental, unexamined “consensus” Christianity and a return to the sharp threshing instrument of the Word. His House must be rightly ordered—starting with the individual—and the sons must be trained to stand, speak, think, and move in the fire of truth. Thanks for Listening!

Sergio Alfaro, Army Medic and GWOT veteran, in Episode 234 of the Transition Drill Podcast, his experience highlights the importance of preparing for the mental and emotional side of transition, not just the next job or degree, and building support systems early instead of relying on a single post-service plan. Ultimately, his path reinforces that successful transition preparation requires adaptability, self-awareness, and permission to redefine success when the original mission no longer fits.Sergio talks about Iraq, PTSD, and the long road from wanting to become a doctor to rebuilding a life that actually works. If you're a veteran or first responder trying to figure out who you are after the job, this one's for you.Sergio was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Maywood and Burbank, seeing two very different worlds early on. He joined the Army with a long-term plans of becoming a doctor. In the Army, he became a medic, trained and deployed to Iraq in 2003–2004, based in Hamadi, west of Fallujah. He describes the reality of frequent mortar attacks, watching for IED threats, and the kind of moments that never really leave you. He also shares the loss of his commanding officer overseas, and how survivor's guilt and “why him, not me” thinking followed him home.After one enlistment, that turned into four and a half years because of stop-loss, Sergio struggled with trauma, but was hopeful of getting the option for the Army to send him to college to be a doctor. He wanted to keep serving and also go to school, but he ran into the “ask command” reality of the system, and it changed his outlook on staying in. He got out, determined to chase the goal on his own terms.That drive carries him all the way to acceptance at Harvard Medical School, with the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon support helping make it possible. But also dealing with PTSD, a medical culture not built for that, and a training path that puts him in a VA inpatient psych ward rotation at the worst possible time. Things spiral, and he shares what it's like when your identity is tied to one mission and you feel it slipping away.The second half of this conversation is about what actually helped: support systems, weekly check-ins, and eventually getting connected with Wounded Warrior Project's Warriors to Work, job fairs, resume feedback, and a shift toward a new career path built around what he always loved most, training and teaching others.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10
PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookKymber Maulden joins us on the podcast today. Fertility isn't just for women who want to be mothers, it is a sign of health in menstruating females. Trauma stresses and rapidly oxidizes the body, causing it to need even more nutrients and therefore be in metabolic debt. This draws on resources contributing to low progesterone and elevated testosterone, which may lead to PCOS and infertility. Luis and Kymber discuss actionable steps to start healing hormonal health, such as tracking cycles and what to note, glucose tracking, HTMA testing, and a consistent macro nutrient intake which signals the body that it is safe. They also talk about the birth control pill, and open sex culture. The open sex culture and sexual revolution are based on a male model of sexuality that requires women to disconnect from their instincts, bypass what actually turns them on, and is often branded as empowered feminism. There is a difference between erotic energy and hypersexuality as a trauma response. How can women find balance in their femininity if they are avoiding their instincts?

Anne Ghesquière reçoit Stéphanie Brillant, journaliste, réalisatrice, productrice et conférencière. Qu'est-ce que l'amour ? Est-il une émotion, une énergie, une force biologique ou alchimique ? Pourquoi peut-il nous faire toucher le sommet comme provoquer les plus grandes douleurs ? Existe-t-il une intelligence de l'amour, au croisement du cœur, du corps et de la conscience ? Et si, pour mieux comprendre notre rapport à l'amour, il fallait dépasser le seul registre psychologique pour explorer aussi les sciences, la chimie, le nerf vague et même une forme d'amour quantique ?Stéphanie Brillant a enquêté sur l'une des forces les plus puissantes de la nature et nous invite à nous ouvrir à l'amour plutôt qu'à le chercher, pour nous libérer de nos entraves et laisser cette énergie nous transformer.

In this deeply reflective and expansive conversation, Darin sits down with poet, speaker, and consciousness explorer Adam Roa for a raw dialogue on creativity, stillness, identity, and the courage it takes to live from integrity instead of performance. From viral art and the pressure of platforms to darkness retreats, emotional sovereignty, and redefining success, this episode explores what it really means to listen inwardly in a world addicted to noise. This is not a conversation about answers. It's a conversation about asking better questions and trusting the quiet moments where truth lives. What You'll Learn in This Episode How art and creativity act as accelerators for human consciousness Why stepping back from visibility can be an act of integrity, not avoidance The emotional cost of constant output and public expectation What happens when identity dissolves and certainty disappears Why stillness, darkness, and solitude reveal what discipline cannot How to rebuild meaning when old belief systems fall apart The difference between inspired expression and performative sharing Why emotions are not obstacles — but the point of being human Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty and conscious living 01:00 – Sponsor break: Truniagen 02:18 – Introducing Adam Roa and his global impact through poetry 03:10 – Why art reaches places words alone cannot 04:28 – First impressions of Adam's viral poem and emotional resonance 06:05 – How "You Are What You've Been Looking For" reached 250M+ people 07:18 – Art as permission to feel — and why healing requires emotion 08:27 – Why personal transformation must include the emotional body 09:32 – Serendipity, readiness, and owning your inner authority 10:31 – Seeing yourself on the stage before the invitation arrives 11:35 – Limiting beliefs and the illusion of needing permission 12:26 – Offering your gift freely — and the moment everything changed 13:19 – Preparation meets opportunity: why readiness matters 14:21 – Acting when something feels wrong in the world 15:43 – Fear, courage, and why confidence is built — not bestowed 17:31 – Why manifestation happens through action, not just meditation 18:33 – Why fear disappearing is actually dangerous 19:48 – Fear as proof that you care — the opposite of apathy 21:02 – Creating new realities instead of fighting reactive systems 22:50 – Sponsor break: Fatty15 and cellular health 26:31 – Creativity in the age of AI — amplification vs. outsourcing 27:26 – Repressed trauma and uncovering the roots of the self 28:45 – Creativity as pattern recognition and personal evolution 30:30 – Depression, breakups, and art as a pressure release 31:41 – Plant medicine as a doorway to childhood revelations 33:07 – Ayahuasca vs. Iboga: radically different spiritual journeys 35:11 – Why facilitation and container safety are critical 37:44 – The risks of unsafe ceremonial spaces and faux shamans 40:57 – The importance of indigenous-focused healing perspectives 42:44 – Finding the "doors" within through meditation and breathwork 43:55 – Building meaningful work without becoming noise 46:03 – Overcoming survival instincts from a premature birth 48:08 – Following the desire for hope, possibility, and solutions 49:55 – Meditation, gamma states, and stream of consciousness 50:49 – Visualizing the higher self and the glowing library 51:37 – SuperLife Patreon: deeper conversations and community 53:30 – Five days in complete darkness: stripping identity away 55:23 – Hearing the whisper of God beneath the mental noise 57:39 – Why the voice of the omnipresent sounds like your own 59:20 – Returning to the modern world and electromagnetic signals 1:02:04 – Choosing silence and authenticity over performative posting 1:03:54 – Integrity, vulnerability, and the dangers of unsafe platforms 1:07:38 – Creating from truth rather than chasing algorithms 1:08:27 – Crazy Love: journal entries on the messy arc of relationships 1:10:18 – Self-revelation: finding yourself reflected in the art 1:12:18 – Breaking the 12-year loop and choosing new patterns 1:13:51 – The iterations of love and the cycle of constant change 1:16:30 – Authenticity vs. the "Guru" facade of social media 1:19:41 – Art as a time capsule for past consciousness 1:22:31 – Triggers as access points for personal healing 1:23:43 – Giving yourself permission to play and be "unproductive" 1:26:12 – Life as a soul scavenger hunt guided by curiosity 1:28:24 – Reaching the breaking point and shifting from push to magnetism 1:29:58 – Investigating deep pain and the process of rebirthing 1:31:38 – Designing a collective society with intention 1:33:10 – Closing poem: "Heaven" — the courage to feel all of life 1:35:45 – Gratitude for the miracle of the next breath 1:37:34 – Digging for the love of life and turning the page to heal Thank You to Our Sponsors Truniagen: Go to www.truniagen.com and use code DARIN20 at checkout for 20% off Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

In this episode I host a dialogue between Buddhist teacher and doctor of Tibetan Medicine Dr Nida Chenagtsang and adult psychiatrist and family and systemic psychotherapist Dr Caroline Van Damme. Drs Nida and Caroline reflect on a half decade of collaboration in which they have explored the meeting of Western psychology and psychiatry with Tibetan medical and Buddhist models. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each others' systems, consider placebo as an explanatory mechanism for traditional health systems, question the benefits of an over-therapised culture, and contrast Tibetan and European approaches to knowledge. Drs Nida and Caroline also discuss the role of traditional ideas of spirit possession in today's clinical contexts, share anecdotes of exorcisms and psychosis, and offer their best insights and techniques to truly nurture the mind. … Link in bio.

In this episode of Tent Talk, Nancy speaks from the middle of a full and holy moment at Oxford USA, where God is putting His house in order—starting with love. Nancy confronts the deception of psycho love: a self-serving, soulish affection that looks spiritual but lacks fire, order, and allegiance. She calls listeners into the deep, internal, maturing work of the Father—where the ever-present power of the cross burns away self-focus, exposes lawlessness, and brings love into its rightful place: God first, above all, at all cost. If you've been caught in the illusion that human goodness is enough or that strong relationships mean spiritual maturity, this episode is a vital reminder: obedience flows from rightly ordered love, and allegiance to the Father is the only way forward.

In this episode, Michaela introduces a NEW aura color named “You Should Too Blue.” This energy shows up when someone believes their suffering should be a blueprint for how others live, heal, and grow.Michaela explores how this mindset is rooted in unhealed trauma, reinforced by 3D societal programming, and often disguised as toughness, wisdom, or “that's just how life is.” Michaela breaks down how You Should Too Blue energy manifests, why it's so common, and how it quietly perpetuates cycles of pain instead of growth.With a blend of spiritual insight, grounded psychology, and playful honesty, this episode invites you to recognize where this energy might be showing up in your life or where you may have internalized it without realizing.

Paul and Amy take on Brazil, Terry Gilliam's surreal warning about authoritarianism, paperwork, and the cost of losing one's imagination. They trace the film's roots in Gilliam's own experiences, his battles with studio power, and the creative compromises that nearly reshaped it to examine why Brazil remains one of cinema's most enduring dystopias.

Steven Johnson grew up in Connecticut surrounded by instability and a rough childhood that pushed him toward the streets at a young age. As a teenager, he joined the Latin Kings and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a chapter president before landing in Connecticut state prison. While serving time in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Steven made a decision that could have cost him his life — walking away from the gang while still incarcerated. In this episode, he shares what prison was really like during that era, how he survived the consequences of leaving the Kings behind bars, and how that choice completely changed the course of his life. After his release, Steven never looked back, building a new path rooted in discipline, accountability, and staying out of the system for good. _____________________________________________ #LatinKings #PrisonStories #GangLife #LifeAfterPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeSystem #RedemptionStory #lockedin _____________________________________________ Than you to AVA & LUCY for sponsoring this episode: AVA: Take control of your credit today.

Anne Ghesquière welcomes Dr Gabor Maté, a world-renowned physician, speaker, and bestselling author. Dr Gabor Maté explore a radically different view of health and human beings and invites us to shift our perspective, to stop asking “What's wrong with me?” and begin asking the far more compassionate question: “What happened to me?”What if what we call “normal” is actually deeply unbalanced? Why is there so much psychological and physical suffering in so-called developed societies? What if many of today's illnesses, anxieties, trauma and addictions are not personal failures, but intelligent responses to a world that asks us to disconnect from ourselves? How can we understand the deep links between trauma, the body, emotions, and behavior? His latest book, The Myth of Normal, is published in French by Guy Trèdaniel Editions, le Mythe de la normalité. Discover his psychotherapeutic approach on his site. Episode #664Some quotes from the podcast with Dr Gabor Maté:“Normal doesn't mean healthy or natural. Normal often just means common.”“Trauma is not what happened to you.Trauma is what happened inside you.”"Nobody is broken.

Michael Bishop grew up surrounded by emotional trauma, bullying, homelessness, and instability, moving in and out of the foster care system while dealing with serious issues at home. Fighting became a way to survive, and that anger eventually led to him being locked inside Massachusetts juvenile detention centers for nearly two years. In this episode, Michael shares a firsthand account of life inside youth detention, including physical abuse by guards and the long-term impact of being punished instead of protected. This conversation exposes the harsh realities of the juvenile justice system and how a broken upbringing and systemic failures shaped the course of his life. _____________________________________________ #JuvenileDetention #PrisonStories #JusticeSystem #SurvivorStory #TrueCrimePodcast #Massachusetts #LifeBehindBars #lockedin _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS & GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: PRIZEPICKS: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ GOLD DROP: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order. _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Brutal Beginnings Inside Juvenile Detention 00:40 Childhood Trauma, Homelessness & Foster Care 01:05 Meet Mike: His Story Begins 02:24 Growing Up With Instability & Family Struggles 05:04 Homelessness, Loss & a Broken Family System 08:26 Bullying, New Schools & Feeling Like an Outsider 13:13 Gifted Programs, Mental Health & Acting Out 16:32 Rebellion, Police Encounters & the CHINS Program 23:00 School Fights, Suspensions & Falling Behind 27:27 DSS Group Homes & Foster Care 33:02 Foster Homes, School Incidents & Authority Clashes 40:54 Probation, Drug Tests & Escalating Legal Trouble 46:26 Alternative School, Metal Detectors & Physical Restraints 53:46 Probation Chaos, Failed Drug Tests & Court Dates 56:14 Sentenced to Juvenile Detention 01:01:14 Intake & Assessment Unit: Fear, Isolation & First Restraints 01:11:51 Westborough Secure Unit: Abuse, Trauma & Turning 18 01:20:05 Staff Abuse, Manipulation & Surviving the System 01:31:01 Developing Narcolepsy While Locked Up 01:39:27 Violence, Corruption & Hard Lessons Learned 01:46:03 Other Kids' Stories: System Failure on Repeat 01:53:37 The Final Straw: Restraint, Investigation & Consequences 02:02:02 Transferred to a New Facility: A Glimmer of Hope 02:08:11 Release From Juvie, Recovery & Life After Lockup 02:13:29 Mental Health, Healing & Breaking the Cycle 02:16:49 Final Thoughts: Advice for At-Risk Youth Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds. Also, how SSRIs and low-effort, high-engagement activities reduce the rewarding properties of dopamine, and how AI algorithms are revolutionizing understanding of the brain.
