What is the difference between having goals and living from aspiration? How do we respond when fear takes over? What if self-compassion feels impossible? How do we forgive ourselves, navigate profound grief, heal from trauma, or rediscover joy in practice? In this first Ask Me Anything session, Tara responds to heartfelt questions from our global community, exploring many of the challenges that touch us most deeply. Together we investigate how mindfulness and compassion help us meet fear, shame, loss, trauma, illness, and uncertainty—not by escaping our experience, but by discovering the awareness and love that can hold it all. These reflections are offered as practical guidance and as an invitation to trust the innate wisdom and tenderness that live within each of us.

Warum verläuft eine Depression bei manchen Menschen chronisch über Jahre, während andere wieder vollständig genesen? Häufig liegt die Antwort nicht nur in der Gegenwart, sondern in Erfahrungen der Kindheit. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum das Erleben von verschiedenen Trauma-Arten – der entscheidende Faktor für schwerere Verläufe ist und warum eine reine Symptombekämpfung nicht immer ausreicht. Quelle: Negele, A., et al.

What if the biggest breakthroughs in mental health have nothing to do with chemicals—and everything to do with electricity? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with psychophysiology and brain mapping specialist Rebecca Bassam to explore the electrical nature of the human brain. After surviving multiple traumatic brain injuries herself, Rebecca dedicated her life to understanding how brainwave patterns influence everything from ADHD and anxiety to depression, PTSD, focus, emotional regulation, and peak performance. Together they discuss why traditional mental health often overlooks the brain itself, how brain mapping identifies dysfunctional patterns, why social media instantly pushes us into fight-or-flight, and the promising future of personalized neurotechnology using microcurrent, neurofeedback, biofeedback, light therapy, and frequency-based interventions. If you've ever wondered whether your brain can truly heal, this episode offers an entirely new perspective on what's possible.

Paul and Amy hit the gas with Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn's hypnotic neo-noir that transformed a would-be studio action movie into one of the defining films of the 2010s.

Christoph Rothe empfängt in dieser Ausgabe von Themen-Show.DE eine außergewöhnliche Persönlichkeit: Maria. Sie teilt ihre schockierende Erfahrung, während einer Operation bei vollem Bewusstsein gewesen zu sein – ein Erlebnis, das ihr Leben für immer verändert hat. Welche tiefgreifenden psychischen Spuren hinterlässt ein solches Trauma, und wie findet man danach wieder ins Reine mit sich selbst? Maria kämpft unermüdlich dafür, dass solche Vorfälle in Zukunft verhindert werden, indem sie sich für bessere Anästhesie-Standards starkmacht. Ist es nicht höchste Zeit, dass die Medizin die menschliche Komponente in der Narkosebehandlung neu bewertet und auf die Erfahrungen der Patienten hört?

Are we sleepwalking into autocracy? Dr. Mary Trump joins Gaslit Nation to discuss the terrifying psychology of her convicted-felon, traitor uncle and why "numbing out" is what the fascists want you to do. So listen up—don't check out—find your community, and mock the thin-skinned monsters into oblivion. That's how we win. What kind of childhood produces a Donald Trump? The same kind of childhood that produced Adolf Hitler: a tyrant father, proudly cold and demeaning. Where does the Trump family's misogyny come from? According to Mary Trump, Fred Trump was a sociopath who passed his misogyny and racism to his children, except for Mary's father, Fred Jr. She says that the women in the Trump family were largely ignored, demeaned, and treated like second-class citizens. Trump himself grew up a terror toward his mother. Brash, blond, and handsome by 1980s, coked-up, yuppie New York City standards, the young Donald Trump was Fred Trump's ticket to the ruling elite. Like Trump's mentor, the notorious power-hungry lawyer Roy Cohn, Fred Trump saw potential in young Trump to unlock doors to the halls of media and political power. Over the years, Fred gave his nepo trust-fund baby $400 million, which Trump would go on to squander in six bankruptcies and never-ending lawsuits for fraud. So, what is the skill that propelled him to the top—with Russia's very illegal help? Shamelessness. Mary Trump helps us get under the skin of the thin-skinned wannabe dictator, and, as both an insider and a therapist, provides us with the antidote on how to stand up to the Trumps' crime-spree madness. Demand accountability and relentlessly ridicule Trump with humor and joy. Mocking the aspiring dictator is an important reminder to him and the world that—as the journalist Dorothy Thompson famously said of Hitler—they're just little men.

Fundal massage, also known as uterine massage, is often performed as a routine procedure after birth, but research shows it does little to prevent postpartum hemorrhage and can be painful for many. On today's replay episode of the EBB Podcast, nurse, community educator, and advocate Barbie Christensen joins Dr. Rebecca Dekker to talk about the myths surrounding this common postpartum procedure and how it connects to broader patterns of obstetric violence in maternity care. Barbie explains the difference between a fundal assessment, a routine massage, and the massage used to treat active postpartum hemorrhage, and walks through what the evidence actually shows about each approach. She also shares trauma-informed scripts that nurses and providers can use to explain what they are doing and obtain informed consent, even in urgent, fast moving situations. Learn how unit culture, staffing, and fear based practice patterns can affect whether an unnecessary intervention becomes the default standard of care, and how to speak up and advocate for respectful care.

Clark Frederick's life changed forever after years of grooming and sexual abuse by Dennis Pegg, a Boy Scout leader and sheriff's lieutenant trusted by his family and community. Decades later, after struggling with addiction, gambling, broken relationships, PTSD, and silence, Clark encountered his abuser with another young boy. The sight triggered a devastating spiral that ended with Clark confronting and killing the man who abused him. In this episode, Clark explains how he avoided a life sentence, why other alleged victims began coming forward, what happened during his three years awaiting trial, and how he ultimately received a five-year sentence for manslaughter. He also shares how prison therapy, meditation, faith, sobriety, and speaking openly about his trauma helped him rebuild his life. Today, Clark is an advocate for survivors, the author of Scarred, and the host of the Free Like Me podcast. This conversation includes discussions of childhood sexual abuse, addiction, violence, suicide, and trauma. Viewer discretion is advised. Clark's message is clear: revenge did not heal him. Survivors do not have to sacrifice the rest of their lives because of what was done to them. Breaking the silence, seeking support, and doing the work to heal can create a different future.

A wounded sense of worth doesn't stay in childhood. It follows you into your work, your relationships, and the story you tell about who you are. In Part 2, we trace the value wound into adulthood -- the achievement treadmill that never stops, the relationships where love never quite feels safe, the inner critic that renders verdicts instead of feedback. Then we look at how a value wound shapes identity, why identity crises are often doorways rather than disasters, and what genuine healing actually looks like. IN THIS EPISODE How the value wound shows up at work: perfectionism, imposter syndrome, the inability to rest How it shows up in relationships: over-giving, chronic reassurance-seeking, difficulty receiving love The inner critic as internalized shame -- and why it renders verdicts, not feedback How a wounded sense of worth produces a borrowed identity built on roles and approval Why an identity crisis is often growth pushing back -- not something going wrong What healing looks like -- and why it requires more than insight If the borrowed identity fell away -- the role, the title, the thing you're known for -- what would be left? Is that terrifying? Or is there something in you that's curious about finding out?

Trauma can shape your experiences, but it doesn't have to define your identity or determine your future. In this episode, we explore the difference between acknowledging your pain and allowing it to become the story you tell yourself about who you are. We'll talk about how trauma can influence the way we think, relate to others, and see ourselves—and why healing begins when we recognize that we are more than what we've been through. You'll hear practical insights on breaking free from limiting beliefs, reclaiming your voice, and choosing a narrative rooted in hope, resilience, and purpose. If you've ever felt trapped by your past or wondered whether you'll ever move beyond your pain, this conversation is for you. Your experiences are part of your story, but they are not the whole story. Healing is possible, and your future doesn't have to be written by your wounds. Join us as we discover how to honor the past without letting it define the person you're becoming.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, July 29, 2026, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes Kasim Hardaway. KASIM HARDAWAY is a filmmaker and storyteller based in Kansas City, Missouri, whose work explores identity, mental health, and transformation. Before entering film, he built a decade-long career as a nationally recognized food influencer and brand strategist, partnering with companies like ALDI, Target, and Impossible Foods. His storytelling was known for its visual depth and emotional honesty, qualities that now define his filmmaking voice. After years spent curating perfection online, Kasim found himself unraveling behind the scenes. What had once been creativity turned into performance, and the constant pursuit of relevance gave way to burnout and fatigue. Rather than turn away from that collapse, he chose to document it and transform his breakdown into art. That decision became The UNBecoming, a cinematic exploration of what it means to lose and rediscover oneself. Though new to filmmaking, Kasim approached the medium with a strong sense of story and emotional awareness shaped by his background in digital storytelling. The UNBecoming blurs the line between film and performance art, using movement and metaphor to capture the process of release, reflection, and renewal. Through his work, Kasim aims to create space for empathy and collective healing, inviting audiences to not only witness transformation but to feel it. In the process of unbecoming, I've realized just how many layers of myself have sought validation, affirmation, & acceptance. Versions of me that longed to be forgiven, that held a heart full of anger, that wanted to be seen, chosen, or simply told I was enough. Whewww. None of those versions served me to my benefit, but that didn't make them exist any less. They lived inside me. Quiet & heavy. Unresolved. A core part of this project is healing: tending to the deep wounds I've carried since childhood, & even the more superficial nicks from recent years. “Take What You Need” was born from that. An extension of The UNBecoming, it's a community-oriented installation that acts as a small offering meant to ease pain, soften longing aches, or at least lead the versions of myself (& others) a little closer to reconciliation. When I first began imagining what the installation would look like, I didn't want it to feel like a static wall. I wanted it to breathe, to invite you in. I strung each envelope with fishing wire so it would seem suspended in air. As if the letters were gently hovering, waiting to be chosen. To me, that sense of lightness mattered: the words & messages themselves might be heavy, but the act of reaching for them could feel weightless. Each envelope carries a phrase on the outside. Something you might need to hear. Inside is a letter written to the one who felt that particular ache. As a small, playful detail, I added stamps. Sometimes the words might call out to you; other times it might be the color or design of a stamp that caught your eye. It leans into the fact that healing doesn't always come through logic. Sometimes it comes through instinct, through something you can't quite explain. After the debut of the installation, a friend told me his wife had chosen one of the envelopes to give to him. He was shocked by the sheer number of letters. 33 in total (& I'm currently writing more). He asked, “How did you come up with all of these? Are these all feelings you've felt within yourself?” My answer was yes. And also: not entirely. Each letter represents a piece of my own story, but not every ache cut me deeply. Some were wounds I wrestled with for years, others were fleeting pains that appeared in certain relationships or contexts. Still, as I revisit the letters now, I find them more & more (& moreee) relatable. Each one speaks to a scar I carry. Trauma that may not have defined me, but that nonetheless left its mark. The wall is not just mine. It's a mirror. A place for anyone to pause, soften, & perhaps hear the words they've been waiting for. At its core, it's also a reminder of our interconnectedness as human beings. We live in such divisive times, & it's important to remember how much we truly share. Especially the pains & traumas we carry. No matter your gender, ethnicity, or background. It's my hope to create more experiences like this. Ones that move, inspire, & heal. While I've loved the journey of creating the micro-film series, I've also found that in-person events & activations add another, tangible layer of expression. The people I've met & the conversations I've had through this project have been moving, humbling, & affirming to say the least. I'll plan to share future pop-ups through the Chat feature here on Substack, but I also encourage you to follow the new accounts I've created for the installation on Instagram. I'll be sharing letters digitally there as well, so even if you can't make it to a pop-up in person, the words can still find you. And if you want to explore the project on a more intimate level, consider becoming a paid subscriber & diving into The UNBecoming Reset: a six week guide to your own unraveling & return. kasimhardaway.com

"Trauma" has become a controversial word in the current culture wars. It's a point of pride for some, an excuse for others. But trauma is undoubtedly real, and it effects the body.

We have a culture that reports an almost all time high of human suffering. A predominant term this suffering gets labeled as is - trauma. But I just don't think it's the right term for many of us. Trauma is defined as - an emotional and physical response to a very stressful, scary, or harmful event. What I experience myself, and feel so many others do, is loss. Loss that may not seem super stressful, scary, or harmful, but it pains us to a deep, deep level. And nobody is speaking well to this. Which is why I bring to you in this episode, someone who I revere, and will honestly say that the following conversation was one of the most helpful I've had in as long as I can remember. Dr. Lucy Hone is an adjunct fellow at the University of Canterbury and a sought-after professional speaker, a bestselling author, and an award-winning internationally published science educator. She is regularly featured in international media, including in The Guardian, the Hidden Brain, and the Washington Post and is a columnist for Psychology Today. Her first book, Resilient Grieving, was an international bestseller that led to a fully updated and expanded second edition in 2024 and her TED talk, Three Secrets of Resilient People, has been viewed by over nine million people. Now Lucy has come out with her latest research in a new book, How Will I Ever Get Through This: Evidence Based Tools to Help You Heal From Hardship, Grief, and Loss. Again, I'm citing this conversation as one of the most profound I've had in a long time. We discuss how most attention gets given to the loss of a loved one or our health, but many people are suffering themselves greatly regarding the loss of an ideal. An expectation. A dream or a goal. A picture they held of their lives. And that culturally we may be seeing the mental health crisis as a result of a societal perceived loss of hope. I expect many of you will find resonance in this conversation, for pain you carry, and hope for some relief.

On today's episode of The CLS Experience we have a transformative conversation with somatic educator and holistic nutrition expert Luis Mojica about the powerful connection between food, anxiety, stress, trauma, and human performance. Inspired by his book Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma, Luis breaks down the concept of “food induced stress” and explains how what we eat directly impacts nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, clarity, leadership, and business capacity. Luis shares his framework of depressant, stimulant, and balancing foods, revealing how many high performers unknowingly rely on stimulants like caffeine and sugar that spike adrenaline, increase reactivity, and contribute to burnout. Together, Craig and Luis explore cravings as emotional and physiological signals, the role of shame in eating patterns, and how balancing foods like protein, fats, fiber, beans, and greens can stabilize glucose and support nervous system healing. Luis also opens up about his own trauma and binge eating journey that led him into this work, while offering practical tools around mindful eating, body awareness, glucose monitoring, and recovery. This conversation is eye opening, practical, deeply healing, and filled with wisdom for anyone looking to improve their energy, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life.01:41 Food Stress Explained21:11 Nervous System Ripple23:07 Cravings As Compass30:54 Foods That Spike AnxietyCheck out Luis on Instagram HERE:Check out Luis HERE:Grab Luis's Book HERE:See me speak at Cathy's Event HERE:Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE:To join our community click here.➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X

What if authenticity isn't a personality trait—but a sign of nervous system capacity? Many people believe they struggle to be themselves because they lack confidence, boundaries, or self-awareness. But after trauma, authenticity can feel physiologically dangerous. When the nervous system has learned that honesty risks rejection, conflict, or abandonment, masking, performing, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional editing become intelligent survival strategies. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explore why authenticity is one of the clearest markers of post-traumatic growth. They unpack the neuroscience behind masking, the relationship between performance and attachment, why "little lies" often emerge from protection rather than manipulation, and how increasing nervous system capacity allows authentic self-expression without collapse or self-abandonment. The conversation also explores how psychedelic experiences often create temporary feelings of authenticity and forgiveness—but why those insights only become lasting change through preparation, regulation, and integration. Jennifer also shares a deeply personal reflection on self-forgiveness, relational repair, and how nervous system regulation creates the capacity to tell the truth, remain connected, and experience genuine freedom. In This Episode, We Discuss Why authenticity is a marker of nervous system health—not personality. How complex trauma teaches the body that honesty can threaten attachment. The neuroscience behind masking, performance, and emotional editing. Why perfectionism is a survival strategy rather than a character trait. The relationship between authenticity and post-traumatic growth. How chronic self-suppression increases allostatic load and nervous system stress. Why "little lies" often function as protective nervous system adaptations. The difference between visibility and authentic expression. Oversharing versus authentic vulnerability. How nervous system capacity changes relationships. Why psychedelic insight alone does not create lasting transformation. The role of preparation and integration after psychedelic experiences. Self-forgiveness as a nervous system practice rather than a mindset. Why shame blocks neuroplasticity and learning. Attunement, emotional processing, and authentic change. Forgiveness without bypassing accountability. Breaking intergenerational trauma patterns through regulation and capacity building.     Featured in This Episode The Nervous System Rewire Course Learn the foundational practices that help you regulate your nervous system, build self-attunement, and increase capacity through experiential exercises. https://rewirecourse.com   Start Here The Rewire Trial Experience the Brain-Based Membership with a two-week trial. https://rewiretrial.com NSI Foundations Bundle Learn the fundamentals of Neurosomatic Intelligence. https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/workshops/ Capacity Gap Workshop Understand why capacity—not willpower—is the missing link in lasting nervous system change. https://rewirecapacity.com Watch More Trauma Rewired Episodes Watch full video episodes and subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@traumarewired   Are you ready to become the woman who can carry the vision?

Hope is often mistaken for a feeling of optimism, but for many people it looks much quieter: the decision to stay alive and keep going even when nothing feels certain. In this episode, we explore how hope is less about feeling inspired and more about choosing, day after day, to remain open to the possibility that life can change. Sometimes the most meaningful act is not thriving—it's surviving.Key TakeawaysHope is not a mood; it is a decision.You do not need certainty to keep going.Survival is a meaningful achievement.Choosing “one more day” is an act of courage.Staying alive preserves the possibility of connection, healing, and purpose.Quiet hope often sounds like: “I'm not done yet.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

She previously served as Managing Director for External Affairs and Editor-at-Large at The Freedom Fund, a global collaborative working to end modern slavery, where she helped elevate the work of hundreds of frontline anti-slavery organizations across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Earlier, she co-founded The Fuller Project, a global newsroom reporting on women, served as Associate Director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, and founded Advancing Girls' Education in Africa. She has raised more than $200 million for social-impact organizations and reported on Syrian refugees in Turkey, with earlier roles at CARE, Save the Children, the United Nations, and the World Bank.Key Points• The Freedom Fund gets money directly to the front lines, granting to almost 200 frontline organizations, and this past year 47% of them were led by survivors.• Birth certificates are a frontline prevention tool: in Bangladesh, mothers believed they couldn't register children without the father's signature, until Freedom Fund's partners socialized a legal provision and registered over 400 children in about six months.• Twenty-four countries still bar mothers from passing citizenship to their children on equal terms with fathers, and Syria's law can leave a returning mother's child stateless and more vulnerable to exploitation.• When people lack legal status, they have no one to report abuse to, and fear of deportation keeps exploited workers silent even when wages are stolen or they are assaulted.• Immigration and refugee are not synonyms; asylum seekers are specifically people seeking protection, a distinction that gets blurred as legal pathways narrow.• Before larger plans, women's groups like Women of the Sun in Gaza and the West Bank made addressing trauma and supporting one another their first priority.• A scholarship alone did not change Anesi's future; without cultural support structures, she left school for marriage after one year and later regretted it, showing that prevention takes more than money.• Xanthe urges the field to listen to survivors: "Alternative livelihood activities in our community is what's going to protect our children," and "we don't need to wait until the children have been trafficked to do an intervention."Resources• Women's Refugee Commission• At What Cost?

What if the biggest barrier to Black men's mental health isn't toughness — it's the absence of touch? In this episode of Inner Voice, a heartfelt chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine, Dr. Foojan sit down with Aaron Johnson — public speaker, filmmaker, and touch activist — founder of The Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project, to unpack the “Black Brute” archetype, touch starvation, and the emotional healing Black men were never taught. Aaron opens up about losing his father in 2010, spending three years unable to cry, and the personal journey that led him to platonic touch, nervous system regulation, and healing through connection. Together, Aaron and Dr. Foojan trace how the hypersexualization of Black male identity was manufactured through Blaxploitation films and hip-hop culture — funded largely by non-Black systems — and internalized across generations as the “Black Brute” and “black buck” archetypes. We go deep into vulnerability, tears, grief, family systems, puberty and boundaries, and Aaron's therapeutic “body story” method, which uses singing, nature, and slow, consent-based touch practices to help Black men reclaim tenderness. Aaron also discusses his documentary “Dark and Tender” — a rare on-screen portrait of Black men of every age, class, and orientation holding hands and listening to one another — and why investing in Black male tenderness could reduce violence, consent violations, and mental health crises nationwide. This conversation is for anyone exploring emotional healing, toxic masculinity, touch deprivation, racial trauma, grief processing, and what true connection and vulnerability can look like for Black men in America. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro: Inner Voice with Dr. Foojan Zeine 08:06 – Welcome Aaron Johnson to the show 08:52 – Losing his father in 2010 & the tragedy that changed everything 09:38 – Unable to cry for 3 years: reclaiming emotional expression 11:02 – Discovering the need for platonic touch 11:46 – What is the “Black Brute” archetype? 12:26 – Mentoring a young man through touch healing 13:22 – Gender vs. race: who has access to platonic touch? 15:13 – Origins of hypersexualization: Blaxploitation & hip-hop culture 17:19 – Who funds the “Black Brute” narrative? 19:21 – Vulnerability & tears in Black family systems 20:47 – The hidden labor of Black mothers preserving tenderness 23:45 – Puberty, boundaries & the shift in family touch 26:52 – The “body story” therapeutic method explained 29:14 – Singing, nature & building safety before touch 30:34 – Slow, consent-based touch practices in action 32:41 – The documentary “Dark and Tender” 34:29 – Why Black men are missing from healing retreats 35:11 – Investing in Black men's tenderness to reduce violence 36:24 – The prototype we were given — and bought into 38:14 – Has the film's impact reached Black American men nationally? 39:02 – Touch, culture & capitalism around the world 42:44 – A message to parents raising Black male children 44:40 – Where to find Aaron Johnson & the CUT Project 45:09 – Closing: Follow, share, and leave a review About Aaron Johnson: Aaron Johnson (he/him) is a public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, and touch activist focused on the emotional and relational lives of Black men, founder of The Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project, and co-founder of Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action.

What if the exhaustion you're carrying isn't about your schedule at all — but a betrayal you haven't even named yet?In this episode of Break Free from the Burnout, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with attorney-turned-somatic-healing practitioner Lora Cheadle to unpack the real difference between burnout from overwork and burnout rooted in betrayal trauma. Lora explains how betrayal — the breaking of an expectation you relied on — shows up in the body, why high-achieving women are especially prone to internalizing it, and how her concept of "flaunt" (full expression instead of collapse) helps release what's been held in the gut, shoulders, and mind. The conversation moves through unconscious agreements, questioning inherited beliefs, and why grieving before healing matters more than rushing to fix it. Lora also shares her betrayal recovery guide, built around small, sequential steps rather than an all-at-once overhaul.Ready to reconnect with yourself before chasing the next goal?

Amy drops an emergency Unspooled episode to unpack Christopher Nolan's epic take on The Odyssey, joined by USC classics professor Lucas Herrenroeder. Together they compare Homer's original poem with Nolan's bold reinterpretation, exploring everything from its Bronze Age authenticity and towering Cyclops sequence to the film's treatment of Circe, the sirens, and the gods themselves. Along the way, they debate what Nolan changes, what he leaves behind, and how his version reframes Odysseus as a flawed hero.

In this episode, I explore the powerful science of post-traumatic growth and share why healing after trauma isn't just about reducing PTSD symptoms, but also about discovering new strength, meaning, and hope.  

What if the key to reducing chronic pain, improving mobility, sleeping better, and even slowing the effects of aging has been hiding in plain sight? In this fascinating episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, Dr. Anna Cabeca welcomes back naturopathic physician and quantum biology expert Dr. Catherine Clinton, author of Optimize, for a deep dive into one of the body's most overlooked healing systems: fascia. Together, they explore why fascia has been called the body's "Cinderella organ"—overworked, underappreciated, and essential for healthy movement, energy production, nervous system regulation, and longevity. Dr. Clinton explains how chronic stress, trauma, inflammation, hydration, mitochondrial function, and even our thoughts influence this remarkable connective tissue network. Dr. Anna also shares her personal journey through PTSD, insomnia, heart coherence, equine therapy, and a profound experience with dry fasting that transformed her understanding of the body's electrical nature and healing potential.

Most people spend their lives trying not to feel broken, but poet and spiritual philosopher Mark Nepo believes that breaking is actually where life begins. In this deeply moving conversation from Making Space, the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awakening sits down with Hoda Kotb to pull back the curtain on how we can stay open, even when we are hurting, overwhelmed, or just trying to get through the day. Mark reflects on the wisdom he gained from his own life threatening cancer diagnosis and a debilitating back surgery, sharing how he learned to ground himself in the present when fear threatened to take over. He and Hoda explore his newest book, The Language of the Soul, discussing why the words we choose matter in a world that often feels divided. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Everything is getting worse, but the country hasn’t collapsed. This is all by design. Donald Trump is a useful idiot for the people behind the scenes and Project 2025, most notably Russell Vought. The Trump administration is using the nation’s finances like a personal piggy bank for themselves and large corporations while gutting agencies that provide critical services. The misconception is that Trump is driving things into the ground. He’s not. He’s just making things so shitty that the corporate state looks good in comparison.

How do you convince the CRA that bulk silicone nipples are a legitimate business expense? This week, the fellas sit down with Miranda, affectionately known as "the boob lady”, an artist and advocate crafting hyper-realistic silicone prosthetic nipples and body casts for cancer survivors, trans folks, and anyone navigating post-surgery body trauma. Miranda opens up about her wild path to this work: from compressing her chest as an early-blooming dancer in Northern Ontario, to finding a lump at 16 and being brushed off by a doctor who told her to "only worry if it starts bleeding." Flash forward to a solo exchange trip in Denmark when her nipple actually did start bleeding, leading to emergency surgery far from home, severed milk ducts, and years of unprocessed medical trauma. From custom pierced silicone nips to calling out Canadian healthcare bureaucracy for labeling nipples as merely "cosmetic," Miranda shares how she's using empathy, art, and humor to help people love—or at least hate a little bit less—the meat suits they're living in.Be sure to check out Miranda's beautiful work!

We all have a story about who we are and why our life has unfolded the way it has. But what happens when that story becomes the very thing holding us back? In this powerful live intervention from the 2024 Date With Destiny event, Tony Robbins works with a woman whose painful childhood experiences shaped the way she saw herself, her relationships, and her future. As the conversation unfolds, Tony reveals how unresolved pain can quietly become part of our identity and why true freedom begins when we stop letting our past define what's possible. Whether your struggles come from heartbreak, disappointment, loss, or even traumatic experiences that have stayed with you for years, this intervention is a powerful reminder that while we can't change our past, we can choose the meaning we give it and the life we create from this moment forward. This isn't just one woman's breakthrough. It's a lesson for all of us in confronting the stories we tell ourselves, letting go of the ones that no longer serve us, and stepping into a future defined not by our history, but by who we choose to become.   If you're ready to create your own breakthrough, experience Tony Robbins live at one of his world-renowned events: Date With Destiny: https://tonyr.co/4aIqhME Unleash the Power Within: https://tonyr.co/40Wohw0 We hope to see you there!

What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.
