Podcasts about Trauma

Does Kundalini yoga have to be intense and activating? What if it could be trauma-conscious, deeply supportive, and even soothing? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Katrina Marie—trauma survivor, author, and lead trainer in Uplifted's 200, 300, and Kundalini tracks—to explore how Kundalini yoga can be safely adapted for students with trauma and nervous system sensitivity. We talk about how to teach from a place of safety, how to create choice instead of pressure, and why your unique experience as a teacher is your gift. In this episode, we explore:

What is trauma-informed leadership, and why does it matter in today's workplace? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Dr. Melanie Gray shares how trauma-informed care transforms leadership, strengthens workplace culture, and prevents burnout before it derails careers. Drawing from over 25 years in healthcare, higher education, and corporate leadership, Dr. Gray explains how trauma shapes behavior, how generational stress impacts performance, and why confidence is built through intentional self-leadership. If you are a high-achieving woman considering leaving corporate, building a consulting business, or leading teams through change, this episode delivers practical wisdom on resilience, emotional safety, confidence, and long-term leadership sustainability.   What You Will Learn: How trauma-informed leadership shifts workplace culture by asking what happened to someone rather than what is wrong with them. What generational trauma and adverse childhood experiences mean for confidence, communication, and leadership development. How unresolved trauma contributes to burnout, anxiety, and disengagement in corporate environments. What practical steps leaders can take to build emotionally safe and resilient teams. How to assess personal skills and strategically prepare for a transition from corporate to entrepreneurship. What confidence truly looks like when it is built through preparation, data, and intentional action rather than perfectionism. How planning financial runway reduces anxiety when launching a consulting business. What separates sustainable business growth from temporary virality and surface-level success. How structured coaching with defined goals creates measurable transformation instead of dependency. What it takes to lead with compassion while still holding high standards for performance and accountability.   FAQ: What is trauma-informed leadership? Trauma-informed leadership is a framework that considers how past experiences, including adverse childhood experiences and generational stress, influence present behavior, communication, and performance in the workplace.   How does trauma affect workplace performance? Trauma can impact confidence, emotional regulation, communication patterns, and stress responses, which may show up as withdrawal, defensiveness, burnout, or disengagement. How do I confidently leave corporate to start a consulting business? Confidence increases when leaders assess their skills, create a financial runway, build required competencies in advance, and transition with a structured plan rather than reacting to anxiety or corporate restructuring.   Connect with Dr. Melanie GrayWebsite Connect with Anjel B.

In this episode, Alix & Kayla explore stories from people who have transitioned and later detransitioned, unpacking the deeply personal, emotional, and complex experiences behind those journeys. From informed consent and puberty to trauma, social influence, and the evolving language around gender identity, they discuss how identity formation can shift over time—and why holding space for nuance matters.Through anonymous community stories and open conversation, they reflect on how gender, sexuality, and self-perception intersect with mental health, relationships, and the pressure to “figure it out” too quickly.This is a compassionate, layered conversation about gender identity, detransition stories, queer community belonging, and the reality that self-discovery isn't always linear.00:00 – Intro + Life Updates in Nicaragua 02:00 – Hyperfixations & Mormon Memoirs 04:20 – Marriage “Would You Rather” Game 15:20 – Today's Topic: Transition & Detransition Stories 16:00 – News Story: Malpractice Case & Gender-Affirming Care 20:00 – What “Detransition” Means 22:00 – Informed Consent & Medical Decision-Making 26:30 – Why This Conversation Matters in Queer Spaces 30:00 – Anonymous Story: Transition, Fertility & Identity 32:00 – Puberty, Body Changes & Gender Confusion 38:30 – Trauma, Identity & Transition Motivations 44:00 – Social Influence, Language & Self-Understanding 48:00 – Internalized Misogyny & Gender Expectations 52:00 – Does Transition Resolve Dysphoria? 55:00 – Therapy, Root Causes & Identity Exploration 58:30 – Growing Up Tomboy & Gender Expression 01:02:00 – The Complexity of Identity & Final Thoughts

The Grief No One Talks About in Trauma-Informed ParentingSometimes the hardest part of parenting isn't your child's behavior, it's the grief that rises up inside you.

Vivir un trauma puede ser una experiencia profundamente angustiante, caótica y dolorosa que muchas veces nos lleva a aislarnos y a levantar barreras para proteger el corazón. Sin embargo, el camino hacia la sanidad comienza cuando somos honestos con nosotros mismos y reconocemos ese dolor que aún nos afecta. El Señor nos invita a dejar atrás la postura de víctima y a abrazar la poderosa actitud del resiliente, enfrentando el dolor con fe. Al hacerlo, aprendemos a confiar más profundamente en Dios y permitimos que Él sane nuestras heridas. Los traumas que hemos atravesado pueden transformarse en diamantes cuando los ponemos en las manos del Señor.

Savanna finally sits down with her ride-or-die, celebrity esthetician Candice, and let's just say this Bahamas trip was NOT what the brochure promised. Rock-hard beds, zero food, no towels, bed bugs, a shark that used Savanna as a chew toy, and somehow — they still had the time of their lives. If you've ever roughed it for the sake of the adventure (or accidentally eaten hand soap at a spa), this one's for you.Shop here now: https://www.savannaboda.com

Hey kids, you just suffered a major dose of Trauma in many ways. Let's all put on...a play?And great news Tilly from Discovery, who has no professional experience in dealing with Trauma is here to help ! 

Mimi Nichter was an American teenager returning from a summer in Israel on September 6th, 1970 when the plane she was on was hijacked. She was then taken hostage. Until recently, she'd never shared what happened. With the release of her memoir, Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience, she sets the stage for how what happened to her has echoes in the news literally today. I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard about this flight hijacking. Now I can't forget it.

The Kouri Richins case forces us to ask: How do smart, capable people end up with partners who allegedly want them dead?Eric Richins was hardworking, devoted to his sons, present. Prosecutors allege his wife was millions in debt, had a boyfriend, allegedly bought fentanyl—all while Eric believed he had a real marriage.How did he miss it? He didn't. He was targeted.This is Part 1 of "Surviving the Fog"—a psychological deep dive into coercive control. We're using the Kouri Richins case as a framework to examine patterns documented in abuse research, not to diagnose anyone.This episode examines love bombing—the overwhelming intensity that feels like fate. These personalities select their targets, study their wounds, and become exactly what they've been missing.The constant texting is surveillance disguised as devotion. The speed is entrapment disguised as passion. The soulmate feeling is a script, not fate.Trauma bonding hijacks your brain chemistry. The intermittent reinforcement creates addiction. You're not staying because you're weak—you're staying because your nervous system has been rewired.The person you fell in love with may have been a performance. And performances can't be sustained.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

How did Eric Richins not see it?Prosecutors allege Kouri Richins was $4.5 million in debt, texting a boyfriend, allegedly buying fentanyl from her housekeeper—all while Eric came home thinking he had a marriage.The question isn't why he didn't leave. It's what he saw in the beginning that made everything else invisible.This is Part 1 of "Surviving the Fog"—a five-part psychological examination of coercive control and narcissistic abuse. We're using the Kouri Richins case as a framework to explore documented patterns, not to diagnose anyone.Nobody marries a monster. They marry a mask.Love bombing is the trap. The overwhelming attention. The intensity that feels like fate. The mirroring that makes them your perfect match. It's not romance—it's reconnaissance. They study what you're missing and become exactly that.Trauma bonding is neuroscience. The cycle of affection and withdrawal creates addiction patterns. You're not weak—your brain has been chemically hijacked.The person you fell in love with may have never existed. The early days weren't real. They were a hook.If you felt chosen in a way you never had before—you were targeted.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if authenticity isn't a personality trait — but a measurable marker of nervous system capacity? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore authenticity and forgiveness through the lens of post-traumatic growth. We unpack why telling the truth can feel physiologically threatening after trauma, how masking and performance develop as protective strategies, and why forgiveness is not a mindset shift — but a capacity that grows through regulation, integration, and self-attunement. Authenticity is not about oversharing or abandoning discernment. It's the ability to feel the truth in your body and stay connected while expressing it. That requires nervous system flexibility — not willpower. Topics Covered: Why authenticity is a marker of nervous system capacity How trauma wires masking, performance, and self-editing Why telling the truth can feel physiologically threatening Small lies as protective regulation strategies Masking, perfectionism, and increased allostatic load The difference between visibility and authentic expression Why psychedelic honesty is a state shift, not a skill Oversharing and vulnerability hangovers as capacity issues Why forcing forgiveness reinforces threat patterns Self-forgiveness as a neuroplastic learning process Attunement, interoception, and emotional tolerance Rupture and repair as mechanisms of growth Forgiveness without bypassing accountability Rumination, grievance, and sympathetic dominance Why post-traumatic growth reflects the capacity to hold truth and connection at the same time Chapters: 00:00 – Authenticity as Nervous System Capacity 04:30 – Why Truth Feels Like Threat 09:45 – Masking, Performance & Conditional Safety 17:10 – Psychedelics, Peak States & Integration 23:40 – Visibility vs Authentic Expression 29:50 – Self-Forgiveness & Capacity Building 36:15 – Attunement, Shame & Neuroplasticity 41:20 – Forgiving Others Without Bypassing 47:30 – Forgiveness, Faith & Staying Connected   Calls to Action: Neurosomatic Intelligence is now enrolling : https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/nsi-certification Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

Hi Gorgeous! Welcome back to Queen Flow.Today's episode is one of the most important conversations I've ever recorded.I sit down with my former mentor of nearly 3 years — the infamous Queen of Shadow Work, Felicity Morgan — for a deeply honest conversation about what it actually takes to move from unbelievable hardship to building the business, finances, marriage, and relationships most women only dream of.This isn't a trauma story.It's a mastery story.Felicity doesn't just share what happened to her — cyclical familial and romantic abuse, kidnapping, single motherhood with zero financial support, and countless toxic relationships — she shares how she chose massive responsibility to recreate every aspect of her life.We dive into:Why most personal development keeps people looping in victim identityThe addiction to validation (especially in coaching spaces)How excitement gets mistaken for growthWhy integration feels boring — but builds masteryThe hidden benefits we gain from staying stuckHow shadow patterns sabotage money and successWhy healing cannot depend on someone else's apologyThe difference between validation and real loveIf you're done playing small, done with sneaky toxic patterns, and ready to master your life by mastering yourself — this episode is for you.Listen now.Limited Spaces Available to join Feminine Magic & Money as a private experience

In this week's Principles of New Biology webinar, Tom read Chapter 2 of his developing booklet: “Then Something Happened.” He explores the idea that humanity experienced a profound shift in consciousness beginning in the 1600–1700s—moving from a vitalistic, ether-based understanding of life to a mechanical, reductionist worldview.This chapter dives into:– Lost ancient knowledge and hidden history– Electromagnetism and the four elements– What “the catastrophe” was and how we chose it– Healing with ether, light, and sound– How to reclaim meaning, coherence, and true vitalityThe session also included Q&A on:– Trauma and where it's stored– Sick sinus syndrome and restoring heart rhythm– Antibodies, blood types & Rhesus factor– Vitality, frozen shoulder, and modern vehicles– Chemotherapy recovery, Rife machines & scalar healing– Healing approaches to Crohn's and animal careSupport the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Tara and guest Rev. Ellen Corcella—author of "Walk With Me: A Journey Through the Landscape of Trauma" and host of Faith and Resilience Podcast—talk about resilience during Lent and in everyday life. They discuss resilience as both internal and beyond oneself, rooted in meaning-making, adaptability, and connection rather than individualism. Tara shares her evolving definition of theopoetics as creative engagement with God in community, and reflects on Julian of Norwich's hazelnut vision—God made it, loves it, and keeps it—as a grounding way to notice “thin spaces” of the sacred in ordinary moments. Tara describes practices like Lectio Divina and Visio Divina, using scripture, art, doodling, and poetry for contemplation, and reads her poem “Thin Space Day,” which locates pilgrimage-like holiness in daily routines (carpool, mailbox walks, lunchtime, coffee, commutes). The conversation connects thin spaces to Lent's wilderness metaphor, emphasizes God's presence in both mountaintops and valleys, and reframes “all manner of things be well” (AMOT) as holding both consolation and desolation. Ellen shares where to find her book, podcast and website (www.ellencorcella.com).Send Tara a Text MessageJoin Tara for Worship on Sunday morning at 10 am.

Hello Everybody! Better late than never, a monthly solo episode coming out for you. My voice is a bit hoarse because I'm sick, yet I still have a message to share; There comes a time when it  might benefit you to push your limits a bit. Is it time to explore  the end of your comfort zone? On this solo episode I share some recent life updates which tie into the theme of BUSTING out of your comfort zone and what the benefits of doing so can be. I also offer some suggestions and examples of how we can approach our "Challenge Zone" and why moving fast isn't always the best way to go. Sometimes all it takes is one small step out of the norm. We can still remain in our Divine Feminine state of balance a puruse our greater goals and dreams. Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

EMDR in Practice: The Functional Model – When Do You Become a Qualified Counsellor? In Episode 367 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore three timely and important topics for counsellors, psychotherapists, and students. Firstly, in Ethical, Sustainable Practice, Rory and Ken explore talking to clients about AI in therapy, discussing the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in clients' lives and why therapists need to address the risks, ethics, and boundaries of AI use within the therapeutic contract. Then, in Practice Matters, Rory is joined by Andrew Kidd for the second part of their conversation on EMDR, focusing on the functional model and how EMDR works in practice to help clients reprocess trauma. Finally, in Student Services, Rory and Ken unpack a common source of confusion for trainees: when you actually become “qualified” as a counsellor, and how this differs from accreditation and employability. Talking to Clients About AI in Therapy [starts at 03:08 mins] Rory and Ken explore talking to clients about AI in therapy, examining why counsellors need to understand and address clients' use of AI and how to ethically integrate this into therapeutic practice. Key points discussed include: Many clients are already using AI tools (such as large language models) for emotional support and guidance, often without understanding the risks. AI does not hold duty of care, ethical accountability, or safeguarding responsibilities, unlike a trained therapist. Responses from AI can sound confident and empathic but may be inaccurate, inappropriate, or harmful. Client data shared with AI tools may be stored, analysed, and used commercially, with no guarantee of confidentiality. Including AI use within the therapy contract helps protect clients and supports ethical, defensible practice. EMDR in Practice: The Functional Model [starts at 41:03 mins] In this second interview, Andrew Kidd explains how EMDR works in the therapy room and how it helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories. Key points from this conversation include: Trauma is understood not as what happened, but as what happens inside the nervous system as a result of events. EMDR works by activating the brain's natural healing mechanisms through bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones). Bilateral stimulation helps clients stay grounded in the present while safely processing past memories. Clients do not need to recount traumatic events in full detail for EMDR to be effective. After reprocessing, memories often feel more distant and less emotionally charged, allowing clients to live more freely in the present. When Do You Become a Qualified Counsellor? [starts at 01:02:11 mins] Rory and Ken clarify the difference between being qualified, accredited, and employable within the counselling profession. Key points include: Completing a recognised counselling diploma (with supervised practice) means you are technically a qualified counsellor. Counselling is not a legally protected title in the UK and relies on voluntary regulation via professional bodies. Many employers (such as the NHS and EAPs) now require accreditation, which comes after significant post-qualification practice hours. Accreditation often involves additional competencies and assessments not covered in initial training. Understanding this career pathway early can help students plan realistically and stay resilient in their professional journey.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Leo Gura, the discussion moves from abstract truth into the territory most people avoid: morality, evil, love, and survival. If everything is one, what becomes of good and bad? If reality is infinite consciousness, are our moral systems discoveries or inventions shaped by fear and self-preservation? The episode wrestles with whether absolute truth dissolves morality or reveals a deeper foundation beneath it, and what it would mean to live from that realization without collapsing into nihilism.Part 1: https://youtu.be/rLYFHXf1xXUPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!00:03:55 Good, Bad, and Absolute Ontology00:06:17 Stages of Moral Development00:09:41 Expanding the Self to Infinity00:12:03 Relative vs Absolute Morality00:17:24 Accountability Within Oneness00:21:35 Law, Consent, and Moral Relativism00:27:22 When Love Becomes Naive00:30:24 Survival Corrupts Pure Ideas00:33:02 Radical Open-Mindedness00:37:13 Good and Evil as Human Constructs00:42:01 Can Evil Exist Ontologically?00:46:16 Trauma, Awakening, and Survival00:51:10 Jesus, Suffering, and Infinite Love00:55:06 Ontology of Love and Infinity00:59:05 Infinity, God, and Absolute Reality01:06:40 Unity in Nature and Daily Life01:11:18 Integration and Practical Awakening01:16:23 Consciousness Beyond Humanity01:19:41 Immortality Through Infinity01:21:20 Closing Reflections and Invitation #Nonduality, #Consciousness, #Awakening, #AbsoluteTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #MoralPhilosophy, #InfiniteLove, #SelfInquiry, #SpiritualAwakening, #TruthSeeking, #PhilosophicalDebate, #skepticism , #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

It's AMA time again, and this one goes deep.Alyson and I open the floor to your questions, and what unfolds is an honest, vulnerable exploration of self-love, self-worth, and the subtle ways we block ourselves from the lives we say we want. Inspired by a recent 13-hour healing journey, I share some powerful realizations about integrity, honoring myself, and the surprising gap between loving others and truly loving myself.We unpack what self-love actually looks like in practice—not just mirror affirmations, but identifying childhood imprints, dissolving shame, raising standards, and developing discernment in relationships and business. Alyson brings in her perspective on embodied self-respect, parts work, and Internal Family Systems, offering grounded tools for healing old patterns and integrating fractured aspects of ourselves.From there, we shift gears into a fun but revealing conversation about influence and inspiration. I break down some of my favorite podcasts, from countercultural voices and spiritual finance to music deep dives and consciousness explorations, and why challenging my own beliefs is a core part of my growth.We also touch on money, integrity, jealousy, and the tension between spirituality and wealth—exploring how to hold abundance without selling your soul.If you've ever struggled with self-worth, boundaries, or reconciling purpose with prosperity, this episode offers reflection, humor, and a few hard-earned insights from the trenches.Get the Animal Power book and deck, plus a free guided drumming shamanic journey to meet your power animal, at alysoncharles.com/animalpower.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

This week, Judaism Unbound is thrilled to feature the 3rd episode of Door to Door: A Pilgrimage Across Generations -- another podcast in Judaism Unbound's family of podcasts! ------------------------- Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva! This time around we are offering courses on an Intro to Judaism (Judaism Inbound), the book of Genesis, the Magic & Medicine of Psalms, Jews and Revolution, and a Jewish embrace of Fatness! -------------------------- Door to Door is a deeply personal, five-part podcast series tracing one Jewish family's multigenerational pilgrimage from a once-lost home in Wachenbuchen, Germany, to the present-day echoes of inherited memory, trauma, and resilience. Told through archival recordings, family reflections, and emotional returns to ancestral ground, this podcast chronicles the survival of Simon—a Holocaust survivor taken to Buchenwald Concentration Camp during Kristallnacht—and the generations that followed him. It's a story shaped by suffering, but defined by rebuilding, remembrance, and an enduring commitment to legacy. Door to Door invites listeners to witness what it means to reclaim identity from the wreckage—and to carry forward the names, the stories, and the truths nearly erased. If you've ever felt the weight of inherited memory, or the pull to understand where you come from — subscribe to Door to Door wherever you get your podcasts. Let this be part of your story, too. We'd love to hear from you, so you can email us at miriam@judaismunbound.com or find us at: www.judaismunbound.com/door-to-door

Fear can feel like “the facts,” when it's really your nervous system trying to keep you safe. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Cindy Costley shares how survival patterns can quietly shape symptoms, choices, and self-trust. This episode is for anyone stuck between science, spirituality, and “what actually works.” You'll hear a layered approach to healing—where biology, energy practices, faith, and inner re-patterning meet—so you can move from protection to possibility, gently and safely. About the Guest: Cindy Costley is the creator of the Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique (EBDT) and the voice behind a four-pillars healing approach bridging Western science, Eastern practices, spirituality, and Scripture. She shares her lived experience of decades of chronic illness and how safety-based healing changed her relationship with her body. Episode Chapters: Mic trouble & restart for clarity (00:03:30) Choosing the topic: fear + four pillars (00:08:01) “My body wasn't failing me”—it was communicating (00:13:22) Trauma as biological first, not just psychological (00:14:49) Four pillars explained: science, energy, spirituality, Scripture (00:17:44) Fear stored as “allergy”: the dairy story (00:26:05) Healing in layers + retraining safety over time (00:31:56) Key Takeaways: Notice where fear “decides” your life—then name it as protection, not identity. Track symptoms as signals: “What might my body be trying to keep me safe from?” Heal in layers: address the root trigger before challenging the pattern. When you feel an instant “no,” get curious: belief, or old protection? Practice safety-talk: calm reassurance after regulation (not during survival mode).

On this episode of Mutuality Matters: Women and Words, Host Dr. Mimi Haddad interviewed Rev. Dr. Ingrid Faro. Ingrid described her challenging childhood and young married life as one of abuse, both psychologically and physically. Her early church experience was equally difficult, as women were to be seen but not heard. In her family of origins, she felt invisible and unimportant. She was terrified of her mother and had no real relationship with her dad. Ingrid was struggling to figure out who she is and even wondered if it was safe to think her thoughts. She also wanted out of the church because, as Ingrid describes, she so wanted God to be fair, but life didn't seem to be fair.   Ingrid shared how her first husband (a preacher and NT scholar) was unfaithful to her. He was also violent and broke her nose, landing her in the ER, where she told the attending doctors that she had an “accident,” but they were unconvinced. These and other experiences led to her struggle with the question of “theodicy,” whether God is just and good. Ingrid wondered if she could ever really trust God. This led to an exploration of God theologically. She became acquainted with and greatly admires the scholarship of the OT scholar Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel. A passion for the OT was part of her journey.  Her second husband nurtured honest, even blunt communication, or as Brené Brown says, “clarity is kindness.” As Ingrid studied Scripture, she encountered many bold women who henceforward served as her role models! In them she found a sense of release, or as she said, “I didn't know the weight that was on my shoulders until it was lifted off me.” Ingrid began to see God's clear anointing on women which began with the Apostle Paul. Ingrid began to sense a calling to an academic study of Scripture, which gave her pause. She was given opportunities to say what was on her heart but felt conflicted. Then she asked herself, “Can I stand before God and say, ‘I can't.'” She had to distinguish between a fear of people and a fear of God.  Yet the biblical “texts of terror” that appeared to silence women were very limited compared the many, many texts that welcomed their wisdom, voice and leadership. Consider Paul's texts that seem to silence women (1 Cor. 14:34–36, 1 Tim. 2:11–15, Eph. 5:22&FF) compared to the many women Paul celebrates as co-leaders with him in preaching the gospel and leading churches, like those cited in Romans 16. More recently, Ingrid has considered the challenge of abuse in the church one of the most pressing challenges the church must address. She sometimes feels that the church is one of the most abusive places women encounter. Yet this was certainly an issue noted in Genesis 2. Here Ingrid notes the challenge of Bible translation as too often Genesis 2:18 is translated “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” The Hebrew word for “helper,” is ezer, which means “a strong rescue,” as Dave Freedman notes. “Helper” fails to describe the true meaning of ezer.   Ingrid also points to the work of Katharine Bushnell who redeems Eve by observing that she was the first person to have faith and hope in God's promises. She also points to the following authors who have inspired her own scholarship and faith: Karen Swallow Prior, Carol L. Meyers, Edith Deen, Sandra Ritcher, Cynthia Long Westfall, and also biblical models like Abraham and Sarah.    For many years, Ingrid taught OT and has recently published the book, Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation. Ingrid will lead a keynote and workshop at CBE's conference this summer in Chicago, where she will also receive CBE's Lifetime Achievement Award.  Guest Bio:  Bio: Revd. Dr. Ingrid Faro is an ordained minister and currently serves as interim president and professor of Old Testament at Northern Seminary in Chicago. She previously served as dean of academic affairs, dean of theology at the Scandinavian School of Theology, and director of master's programs at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where she also taught Hebrew and Old Testament. She is an international speaker and the author of Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation with Joyce Koo Dalrymple, Demystifying Evil, co-author of Honest Answers, Evil in Genesis, co-author of forthcoming As We Forgive: A Biblical Theology of Forgiveness, as well as articles, chapters, and reviews. Prior to her work in theological education, Ingrid was an entrepreneur and president of an insurance consulting group serving one-thousand agents in thirty-five states for twenty years. Ingrid has two children and four grandchildren.    Related Resources:  Healing from Hierarchy: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/mutuality-healing-from-hierarchy/  Silent No More: Exposing Abuse Among Evangelicals: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/silent-no-more-exposing-abuse-among-evangelicals/  Her Silence Screams: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/her-silence-screams/  When Religion Hurts: How Complementarian Churches Harm Women: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/when-religion-hurts-how-complementarian-churches-hurt/    0:00 Called to Seminary  01:25 Meet Ingrid Farrow  03:37 From Trauma to Theology  06:25 Studying Evil in Genesis  08:36 Why Theodicy Matters  10:31 Patriarchy and Abuse  16:56 Finding Freedom and Voice  19:31 Leading at Northern Seminary  23:17 What Did I Tell You  26:29 Women in Theology Today  28:21 Chicago Conference Invite  29:23 Reading the Clobber Passages  31:16 Scholars Correcting Exegesis  34:04 Trauma Abuse and the Church  35:37 Genesis Reframing Creation  40:03 Women as Full Image Bearers  42:47 Old Testament Women with Voice  46:29 Key Stories Sarah Hannah Ruth  51:20 Future of Women in Ministry  54:58 Global Impact and Closing Prayer 

Most of us know about the “fight, flight, freeze” responses to trauma. But there is another concept that has been steadily gaining awareness over the last several years, in large part due to pop psychology on social media: Fawning.You might have heard it described as akin to extreme people-pleasing, over-accommodating, over-functioning, and fundamentally a problem in the person doing the fawning. But as my guest today illuminates for us, it's not a personal failing, or even always a conscious choice. It is human nature to prioritize safety and connection, and fawning is a means of keeping ourselves safe. But when fawning runs the show, self-leadership diminishes and quietly drifts toward conflict-avoiding, blurred boundaries, and self-abandonment.Waking up to your fawning response takes courage. You will meet resistance from some as you shift the dynamics of your relationships. But it also unlocks deeper intimacy, more honest connection, and the joy that comes from trusting yourself and letting others meet the real you.This conversation invites you to consider where and with whom you fawn, and how you might want to respond in the future. Fawning has a real purpose when safety is on the line, but the more we are aware of it, the more we can be intentional about how we show up in our relationships.Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's degree in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. In her private practice in Los Angeles she supports individuals in healing trauma, reclaiming agency, and reconnecting to their authentic selves.She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, and her work has been featured in Oprah Daily, The New York Times, Women's Health, Forbes, 10% Happier with Dan Harris, Girls Gotta Eat, and NPR's On Point with Meghna Chakrabarti.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes Cliodhna O'Sullivan, author of the YA romantasy Her Hidden Fire, and Steph Carse, creator of the picture book I Am Awesomely Made. First, Jed chats with Cliodhna O'Sullivan about her powerful new YA romantasy that blends magic, romance, and sharp social commentary. We meet Aya, a girl with a rare magical gift who secretly gives her power to her best friend to save his family's status. That one choice pulls her into a darkly enchanting magic academy on remote islands inspired by Ireland's castles and misty landscapes. Cliodhna shares how growing up poor with an alcoholic, gambling-addicted father shaped her understanding of exploitation, sacrifice, and systems built on the backs of vulnerable people—core themes in Her Hidden Fire. She also talks about love triangles done right, multiple POVs across the trilogy, and her long, twisty road to publication that included losing both an agent and a publisher before finally finding the right home for her book. Later, Jed talks with Steph Carse about I Am Awesomely Made, a picture book and movement rooted in his nonprofit YICount.org. Drawing on his own bullying experiences, Steph explains how the book helps kids build self-worth, understand their incredible bodies, and use the power of words to push back against bullying—especially in the age of social media and cyberbullying. Together, they explore how families can start life-giving conversations that remind kids they matter and are, truly, awesomely made.

Carolyn Adriano died from an accidental drug overdose in May of this year, but in reality it was Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's abuse that led to her death. After suffering years of abuse at the hands of Maxwell and Epstein, Carolyn was "aged out" because she hit the age of 18 and from there things continued to spiral. Experiencing trauma can have profound and lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Some people who suffer trauma turn to drugs as a coping mechanism, seeking relief from the intense psychological pain and distress that trauma can bring. This summary explores the complex relationship between trauma and substance abuse, shedding light on the factors that drive individuals to self-medicate with drugs.Trauma, whether caused by violence, accidents, natural disasters, or other distressing events, can lead to feelings of helplessness, anxiety, depression, and flashbacks. These emotional responses can be overwhelming, and some individuals may resort to substance abuse as a way to numb their pain and temporarily escape from the traumatic memories.Several key factors contribute to the connection between trauma and drug use:Emotional Relief: Drugs like alcohol, opioids, or stimulants can temporarily alleviate feelings of sadness, fear, and anxiety. Individuals may use drugs to experience emotional relief, even if it's temporary.Self-Medication: Some people turn to drugs as a form of self-medication to cope with their symptoms. They may not have access to or awareness of healthier coping strategies, such as therapy or support groups.Escapism: The effects of certain drugs can create a sense of detachment from reality, allowing those who have experienced trauma to temporarily escape from painful memories and emotions.Peer Pressure: Social environments where drug use is prevalent can encourage individuals to try substances, especially if they are already struggling with the aftermath of trauma. This can lead to a cycle of drug abuse as a means of fitting in or seeking connection.Biological Factors: Trauma can affect brain chemistry and increase the vulnerability to addiction. It can lead to changes in the reward system of the brain, making individuals more susceptible to substance abuse.Risk of Re-traumatization: Engaging in risky behaviors associated with substance abuse can increase the risk of re-traumatization, perpetuating a cycle of trauma and addiction.(commercial at 7:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking victim OD'd but really it was murder | Toronto SunBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This episode of your podcast opens in peak “we're literally on a starship” mode: live from the middle of the Atlantic with coffee, cookies, and a panel stacked like a Federation briefing room. You set the stage for Starfleet Academy Episode 8, “The Life of the Stars,” and the vibe is instantly different: not a pew-pew chapter, but an emotional ledger coming due. After the spoiler warning, the conversation locks onto the episode's mission statement: the aftermath matters. The panel highlights how the show finally leans into the trauma it previously seemed to brush past, and that choice pays off because the season has been “investing emotional currency” the whole way. The Doctor's opening monologue becomes the big neon sign here, with that Our Town “stage manager” energy used to narrate a sunrise and underline just how depressed he's become. Tarima's return is the other big emotional ignition. The panel unpacks how her reintegration is messy in a very believable way: she's back, but she's not okay, and the environment's responses often miss what she actually needs. You all peel apart the Caleb/Tarima dynamic as a collision of inexperience, trauma, and different ideas of comfort and “safety,” culminating in that debated moment where he leaves and she breaks down. One of the smartest craft choices, according to the panel, is Tilly using theater as a disguised counseling method. Bek's perspective really shines here: theater forces you into someone else's skin, lets you disassociate safely, and then hands you the mirror when you're ready. The episode's theme becomes clear: art isn't a detour from healing, it's the shuttlecraft that actually lands on the planet. As the discussion deepens, the spotlight swings to Sam and the Doctor, and the room goes quiet-loud. You all trace Sam's arc from “sunny anchor” to someone who's been carrying an old wound without language for it, and the Doctor's reactions land as both performance-flex (Picardo props all around) and character reckoning. The panel calls out how the Doctor feels “not quite there” in subtle beats, while Sam's journey starts to look like resilience training with emotional gravity. Finally, you wrap with the fun stuff that still has teeth: the prediction pool. Bubba Joe swings for the fences with Ake getting taken by the big bad by the end of Episode 9, setting up a rescue vibe for Episode 10, and the group gives it enough “feasible” to earn a little victory lap. Then the sign-off arrives in the most scientific way possible: cookies depleted = episode complete.   00:00 – Live from the Atlantic: coffee, cookies, cast-watch energy, and the episode title “The Life of the Stars” 05:57 – First-impressions round: character-focus praise vs “fundamental storytelling” nitpicks 11:54 – Spoiler siren goes off; framing the episode as aftermath processing 17:51 – The Doctor's opening monologue vibes (stage-manager / Our Town energy) 23:48 – Tarima's return: recovery, reintegration, and the weight of “what now?” 29:45 – Tilly's “theater class” as stealth counseling: why art is the delivery system 35:42 – Trauma theme sharpens: resilience, motivation, and doing the thing to get the spark back 41:39 – Cruise-context glow: watching with cast, talking Trek inside Trek (meta levels: maximum) 47:36 – Tarima/Caleb: emotional needs, mismatched coping styles, and bad timing collisions 53:33 – “Female perspective” deep dive: being labeled “too much” when you're actually wounded 59:30 – The hallway pivot: Caleb leaves, Tarima breaks, and the table debates “safety vs filling the gap” 1:05:27 – The Genesis question: jealousy, hopelessness, dependency parallels, and what Tarima thinks she can't be 1:11:24 – Sam's role as anchor: bright surface, deeper undercurrents, and the cost of not processing 1:17:21 – The Doctor's arc takes center chair: grief, love, and what's “missing” in him right now 1:23:18 – Cookies running low; Voyager-protective instincts and why this Doctor pain hits different 1:29:15 – The “hand-holding” moment and the time-jump conversation (17 years of emotional math) 1:35:12 – Sam + Doctor: the reveal that her earliest “belonging” wound traces back to him 1:41:09 – Picardo praise corner: performance details that sell “not quite there” 1:47:06 – Final takeaways: who “won” the episode, what threads feel primed for the endgame 1:53:03 – Prediction pool + send-off: Ake “taken,” rescue setup, cookies gone, two episodes left

This episode's podcast opens in classic “remote field-ops Starfleet” mode: the crew is improvising a studio in a bar that is very, very closed, while laptops threaten mutiny and someone apparently parkours over the bar like it's an Olympic event. The vibe is equal parts professional panel and feral away team, and it sets the tone: you're here for deep Trek feelings, but you're also here for the comedy that happens when real life refuses to stay out of your broadcast. Once the microphones stop smoking, everyone zooms in on what Episode 7 is doing structurally: stacking character moments like carefully placed tricorders so that when the season finally fires a photon torpedo, the audience actually cares who's on the blast radius. Bubba Joe, Bek, ChicagoHearts, and Griffin circle the same big takeaway: the show's character foundation is working, and it feels like the season is winding a spring for a bigger pay-off soon. Then, because this is your crew, the discussion detours into a surprisingly passionate movie corner: Top Gun comparisons, Iceman-as-character-template, and the kind of hot take energy that could power a warp core for at least a week. That comedy isn't filler though, it's their way of translating what they see on-screen into pop-culture shorthand: who's layered, who's performative, who's hiding their real engine under a shiny hull. From there, the conversation gets meatier: Darum's storyline, the “abduction tradition” angle, and whether the episode teased a clean exit or just dangled the possibility like a redshirt-shaped piñata. The hosts weigh whether the season is actually willing to “lose” someone significant, or whether it prefers emotional loss, identity loss, trust loss, the slow-motion kind that hurts longer than a quick dramatic death. The emotional center of the back half is relationships and trauma, specifically the Tarima-Caleb-Genesis triangle and the consequences of what happened during the crisis. They dig into why Tarima hasn't reached out (shame, fear, and that last interaction that ended badly), and they spiral into the bigger sci-fi question: how did Tarima's power hit the whole ship, and was Caleb the conduit that made it possible? Along the way you get the hilarious “is that flirting?” courtroom segment, complete with social psychology and friendly roasting.  Finally, the show shifts into rapid-fire mode: “what breaks next week,” who's most likely to carry trauma forward, and what the season's endgame might be with only a few episodes left. The sign-off lands as a warm, chaotic victory lap: gratitude for the live audience, gratitude for each other, and a recap of the day's technical battle scars, including a memorable metaphor involving a litter box that will absolutely haunt Griffin's legacy in the most loving way possible.   00:55 – “We're not even allowed to be here” tech scramble begins 05:09 – First reactions: strong character moments, season building toward something big 09:22 – The Top Gun / Iceman detour (and the “Titanic is great?” argument) 13:36 – Darum's “abduction tradition” and whether he ever had a plan 17:49 – Was the Darum moment an exit fake-out… or foreshadowing for later? 22:03 – Stakes check: who's in danger, and what “loss” even means this season 26:16 – Character focus and pacing: what the episode prioritizes, what it skips 30:30 – Trauma + aftermath talk starts to sharpen: what the show is really “about” right now 34:43 – Relationship radar: Caleb, Tarima, and Genesis tension starts flashing 38:57 – “Is that flirting?” debate and the social logic of bringing up “the girlfriend” 43:10 – Why Tarima hasn't reached out: shame, fear, and that last ugly interaction 47:24 – The “Furies” thread: how her powers worked, and whether Caleb was the conduit 51:37 – Genesis deep dive: pressure, control tendencies, and what her “big secret” really means 55:51 – Impostor syndrome (or not): defining what Genesis is actually wrestling with 1:00:04 – Rapid-fire “what breaks next week?” and the PTSD/aftermath implications 1:04:18 – Predictions begin: villains, fallout, and who cracks under pressure first 1:08:31 – Relationship predictions: Tarima/Caleb trajectory, breakup odds, two-parter theories 1:12:45 – More “next week” bets (and the running gag of who's paying attention) 1:16:58 – Final prediction round: Griffin missing the moment, chaos math hits 100% 1:21:12 – Closing gratitude + “we did it live” survival recap (litter box included)

We are live in New York City with reality television royalty — Renee Graziano — and from the first minute, it's iconic chaos, deep vulnerability, and explosive truth. The episode opens with jokes about the FBI “waiting outside” as Renee reflects on her groundbreaking run on Mob Wives, the show that redefined reality TV. She shares what it meant to grow up the daughter of Anthony Graziano, a respected consigliare, clarifying that “mob privilege” wasn't white privilege — it was loyalty, respect, and family code. Fashion takes center stage as Renee reminisces about mink coats, ostrich feathers, and unapologetic mob glam — proving Mob Wives delivered couture long before Housewives. Pol is living for the fur, diamonds, and drama. Author, Erotica & Unfiltered Talk Renee dives into her erotic novel Playing with Fire, inspired by love, betrayal, and danger. What follows is a surprisingly philosophical (and hilarious) conversation about intimacy, celibacy, and why Renee has been celibate since April 2023 after discovering a shocking betrayal. The honesty is raw, funny, and deeply human. Trauma, Betrayal & Survival The mood shifts as Renee opens up about surviving domestic violence, sexual assault, and devastating betrayal — including her ex-husband cooperating with the government, leading to unimaginable family consequences. Her story of discovering a wired watch gifted by her ex leaves the room stunned. She also shares her sobriety journey, including surviving a fentanyl overdose that left her clinically dead with cracked ribs. Her perspective is powerful: recovery isn't just about substances — it's about healing from trauma, shame, and self-destruction. Mob Wives Legacy & Reboot Rumors Renee confirms rumblings of a potential Mob Wives reboot and teases throwing her son a televised wedding — with Pol designing the gown. The energy is playful but hopeful. The conversation turns heartfelt as they honor the late Angela Raiola. Renee remembers Big Ang's generosity, humor, and “ginormous” heart, imagining her running a nightclub in heaven with her father. Entrepreneurial Glow-Up Renee introduces her mob-inspired skincare line, BAD (Beautiful and Dangerous) Body Butter, with cheeky names like Fig-get About It, Coco Nostra, Made Melon, Biscotti Boss, and Vanilla Vendetta — tongue-in-cheek branding rooted in heritage and humor. The Coffee Reading – Rebirth Revealed Pol's Armenian coffee reading becomes the emotional climax. He describes Renee as deeply guarded, emotionally triple-locked — then sees an opening at the top of the cup: rebirth. Renee reveals her name means “reborn” and “spiritually renewed,” and her last name means “grace.” The synchronicity leaves everyone speechless. The reading affirms a recent epiphany sparked by news of her ex-husband's release and a powerful spiritual conversation with her late father. The message is clear: transformation is happening now. Renee leaves feeling “naked” in the best way — spiritually exposed but empowered. It's laughter, mob lore, candor, survival, hustle, and divine rebirth in one unforgettable episode.

This week! Liv Kennedy, Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined once again by the wonderful Perry Clark and Sekayi Edwards for Part 2 of their Black History Month mental health conversation, and the final episode of this year's Black History Month series. Together, they dive into the Black community's relationship with therapy, what it really takes to build trust between patients and practitioners, and the growing concerns around AI in mental health spaces and what may be lost when human connection is removed. They also reflect on generational trauma, the realities of healing work, and how families and communities can help POC children recognise and process racism in ways that empower rather than silence. A candid, necessary, and deeply human conversation to round out this year's Black History Month discussions.   Mentioned Links Sekayi's Therapy Services Perry's Therapy Services Also - did you miss out on our first

— Welcome to A quest Of Well-Being podcast where we explore the intricate connections between our minds, bodies, and the food we eat. In today's episode, we're diving into the transformative insights from Galina Denzel's powerful book, Peace with Self, Peace with Food: A Trauma Healing Approach for Emotional Eating. If you've ever found yourself reaching for food during moments of stress or emotional turmoil, you're not alone. Emotional eating is a common struggle for many, often stemming from unresolved traumas. That's why we're here to discuss how identifying these patterns is the first step toward healing. Galina Denzel emphasizes the importance of self-compassion on our journey to overcoming emotional eating. She guides us through mindfulness practices to help recognize our triggers and cultivate a more conscious relationship with food. We'll also explore practical trauma healing techniques that Denzel presents, aimed at fostering a supportive environment for personal growth. With the right tools and awareness, we can create lasting change and find peace within ourselves—both mentally and physically. So grab your favorite cup of tea, settle in, and join us as we unpack the wisdom of Peace with Self, Peace with Food and discover how to nourish our bodies and souls. Valeria interviews Galina Denzel — She is the author of  "Peace with Self, Peace with Food: A Trauma Healing Approach for Emotional Eating." Galina is also the creator of the Peace with Food Transformation Group method, an intensive small group program that helps people resolve emotional eating by working directly with the body and the nervous system imprints from the past.  For 25 years, Galina battled her own complex relationship with food, trying every diet, nutrition plan, and therapeutic approach available - nothing worked. It wasn't until her training as a somatic practitioner working with trauma that she experienced an unexpected shift. Through learning to care for her nervous system, her decades-long food struggles dissolved. This led her to create a method that addresses the neurobiological roots of emotional eating rather than just the behaviors on the surface.  As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), NeuroAffective Relational Model Practitioner (NARM-P), and Somatic Practice Practitioner, Galina combines somatic exploration, movement, breath, art, and the power of human connection to help people come home to themselves.  Based in Colorado, Galina teaches workshops, leads small transformation groups and retreats, and has worked with thousands of students worldwide. Her approach is grounded in compassion, neuroscience, and the deep belief that our bodies already know how to heal - they just need the right support.

What if your spiritual awakening was so powerful, you thought you were being mind controlled? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati — global spiritual leader and bestselling author of Come Home to Yourself and Hollywood to the Himalayas — reveals the raw, unfiltered truth about the awakening that shattered her old identity and opened her to a universal realization: everything is connected through unconditional love. But it didn't start peacefully. At first, she thought she was losing her mind. From a science-trained skeptic to a spiritual teacher living in the Himalayas, Sadhviji shares what divinity actually feels like in the body, what happens when your attachment to your identity explodes, and why her awakening was so radical it led to the end of her marriage. Sadhviji breaks down: - Her journey through disordered eating, trauma, abandonment, and codependency before awakening - Why healing childhood wounds is essential so adult triggers stop running your life - Physical process of releasing anger, pain, and stored trauma from the body - What's really holding most of us back from spiritual experiences - How she resists physical temptations and stays grounded in spiritual discipline - Freedom that comes from “Breaking Free of the Self” - How to integrate smaller spiritual experiences (even if you haven't had a lightning-bolt awakening) - Power of holy and sacred places for us as energetic beings - How divine intelligence in nature reveals the “unexplainable” - Why coming into everything with an open heart changes your entire reality With her background in science, Sadhviji also shares her fascinating perspective on watching quantum physics slowly catch up in attempting to explain mystical truths sages have known for millennia, and what it will actually take to spark a global spiritual awakening (hint: it's not as impossible as we think) This isn't just a spiritual story. It's a blueprint for healing, awakening, and living in radical love. If you've ever questioned reality, longed for deeper truth, struggled with trauma, or wondered whether awakening is real, this conversation may change everything.

Hyper-independence often looks like strength — being capable, self-reliant, and emotionally steady on the outside. But for many people, it forms as a protective response when the mind learns it can't safely rely on consistent support. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf explores the neuroscience and psychology behind hyper-independence, how the mind stores relational patterns that shape emotional self-reliance, and why carrying everything alone eventually creates cognitive and emotional strain. You'll learn how independence becomes rigid, how cultural narratives quietly reward over-functioning, and what begins to shift internally when the mind experiences steadiness and support. This conversation isn't about labeling or diagnosing. It's about understanding why strength sometimes becomes survival — and how to expand independence without losing it.

As parents, many of us want to raise kind, empathetic kids, but we don't always feel equipped to talk about race, bias, and identity in everyday life. In honor of Black History Month, this conversation feels especially important. I sit down with culturally responsive therapist Anjali Ferguson to unpack how early children begin noticing differences and how small, ordinary moments shape their understanding of the world. We talk about the discomfort adults feel, the fear of saying the wrong thing, and why silence often teaches more than we realize. This episode is not about blame. It is about giving families tools to move forward with intention. Dr. Ferguson brings both professional expertise and deeply personal experience as a South Asian woman raising biracial South Asian and Black children. Together we explore how culture, trauma, and identity intersect in parenting, and why these conversations are not optional extras, but foundational to raising emotionally healthy kids. Her children's book, An Ordinary Day, shows how subtle bias can show up in everyday childhood experiences and how families can use those moments to build empathy instead of fear. My hope is that this episode helps parents feel less frozen and more ready to start small, stay curious, and keep showing up. We discussed:  • Why kids notice race and differences earlier than most adults expect • How racial bias forms in early childhood • The gap in culturally responsive parenting resources • Growing up between cultures and identity formation • Raising biracial children and protecting cultural identity • Everyday microaggressions and their long-term impact • How racism creates chronic stress in the body • Generational trauma and epigenetic effects • The role of racial socialization in protecting children • Why avoiding conversations about race harms kids • How parents can respond when bias shows up in real time • Teaching empathy through ordinary daily moments • Building diverse environments through books, toys, and media • Supporting kids when they experience exclusion or bias • Why parents don't have to be perfect to start • Practical ways families can talk about race at any age To connect with Dr. Anjali Ferguson follow her on Instagram @dranjaliferguson, check out all her resources at https://draferguson.com/ and buy her book “An Ordinary Day”: https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Day-Dr-Anjali-Ferguson/dp/B0B8BDNXVK  Additional Resources: www.parentingculture.org 00:00 The Hidden Impact of Microaggressions 00:56 Why This Conversation Matters During Black History Month 02:57 Representation in Parenting Spaces 06:34 Dr. Anjali's Personal Story: Culture, Trauma, and Identity 10:42 Racism as Trauma: A Professional Awakening 14:30 Parenting Biracial Black Children 19:32 When Do Kids Notice Race? 24:56 Inside An Ordinary Day and Why It Matters 31:37 Chronic Stress, Racism, and Long-Term Health 37:13 What to Say When Bias Happens 42:51 Why Every Family Must Talk About Race 47:18 You Will Mess Up, And That's Okay Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

What if your spiritual awakening was so powerful, you thought you were being mind controlled? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati — global spiritual leader and bestselling author of Come Home to Yourself and Hollywood to the Himalayas — reveals the raw, unfiltered truth about the awakening that shattered her old identity and opened her to a universal realization: everything is connected through unconditional love. But it didn't start peacefully. At first, she thought she was losing her mind. From a science-trained skeptic to a spiritual teacher living in the Himalayas, Sadhviji shares what divinity actually feels like in the body, what happens when your attachment to your identity explodes, and why her awakening was so radical it led to the end of her marriage. Sadhviji breaks down: - Her journey through disordered eating, trauma, abandonment, and codependency before awakening - Why healing childhood wounds is essential so adult triggers stop running your life - Physical process of releasing anger, pain, and stored trauma from the body - What's really holding most of us back from spiritual experiences - How she resists physical temptations and stays grounded in spiritual discipline - Freedom that comes from “Breaking Free of the Self” - How to integrate smaller spiritual experiences (even if you haven't had a lightning-bolt awakening) - Power of holy and sacred places for us as energetic beings - How divine intelligence in nature reveals the “unexplainable” - Why coming into everything with an open heart changes your entire reality With her background in science, Sadhviji also shares her fascinating perspective on watching quantum physics slowly catch up in attempting to explain mystical truths sages have known for millennia, and what it will actually take to spark a global spiritual awakening (hint: it's not as impossible as we think) This isn't just a spiritual story. It's a blueprint for healing, awakening, and living in radical love. If you've ever questioned reality, longed for deeper truth, struggled with trauma, or wondered whether awakening is real, this conversation may change everything.
