What can cold-case investigations teach us about human nature, identity, purpose, and truth? Michael Easley sits down with J. Warner Wallace, former cold-case homicide detective and Christian apologist, to discuss what years of investigating murder have taught him about humanity—and how those observations point back to Scripture. Wallace explains why people are fascinated by true crime, the three root motivations behind crime, and why proximity matters when investigating a murder. The conversation then moves into a much deeper question: Who are we when our careers, accomplishments, relationships, or abilities change? Wallace argues that identity is one of humanity's greatest struggles and that Christians need an identity that does not shift. Rather than making Christ one label among many, he describes Christ as the foundation supporting every other role in our lives. They also discuss aging, retirement, marriage, financial freedom, mistakes, objective moral truth, the nature of humanity, apologetics, and how to faithfully share the gospel while trusting God's power to change hearts. Key topics covered: -Why we're fascinated by true crime -The root motivations behind crime -What cold cases reveal about human nature -Identity, purpose, and meaning -Finding our identity in Christ -Retirement and identity shifts -Learning wisdom through mistakes -Aging and changing seasons -Financial freedom and simplicity -Objective truth and moral truth -Human depravity and the biblical view of humanity -Apologetics and gospel conversations -God's sovereignty and our responsibility Chapters: 00:00 — What True Crime Reveals About Us 01:45 — Why Are We Fascinated by Crime? 03:15 — The Three Root Causes of Crime 05:38 — What Crime Reveals About Human Nature 08:49 — Identity, Purpose, and Meaning 12:13 — When Your Career Becomes Your Identity 14:00 — Finding an Identity That Doesn't Change 15:54 — Retirement, Trauma, and Identity Shifts 19:10 — How to Identify Your Idols 21:33 — Is Christ the Foundation of Your Identity? 22:29 — A Life Well Experienced vs. Well Lived 24:00 — Aging, Wisdom, and Letting Go 25:54 — Learning Through Mistakes and Pain 28:53 — Financial Freedom and Simplicity 33:06 — Why We Root for the Bad Guys 36:09 — The Enigma of Human Nature 40:27 — What Is Truth? 43:47 — Objective Moral Truth 45:29 — Apologetics, God's Power, and Our Responsibility 48:33 — Sharing the Gospel One “Single” at a Time 52:03 — Final Thoughts Links Mentioned: Cold Case Christianity Website The Truth in True Crime by J Warner Wallace Other Books by J.

What if childhood trauma didn't make you fall apart but instead made you highly capable, responsible, resilient, ambitious, and successful? Trauma doesn't always look like dysfunction. For some high-achieving women, it looks like becoming the strong one, the responsible one, the woman everyone depends on, or the entrepreneur who always figures it out. In this episode of The Art & Skill of Coaching, Jess DeMarchis shares her personal experience with childhood trauma, C-PTSD, healing, and high achievement, and explores the unexpected strengths and hidden costs that can come from becoming exceptionally good at surviving. You'll learn how childhood trauma can contribute to patterns like perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing, over-functioning, overworking, hypervigilance, and an unusually high tolerance for stress. These adaptations may help you build a successful career, business, and life, but eventually the same strategies that helped you survive can make it difficult to rest, receive support, trust yourself, feel safe, or actually enjoy what you've created. Jess also explains the concept of the trauma drive: when achievement and ambition become partially fueled by survival, and why reaching the next milestone often doesn't create the peace, security, or sense of enoughness you expected it to. The goal isn't to become less resilient, capable, or ambitious. It's to keep the strengths that helped you succeed while letting go of the fear, pressure, hypervigilance, and survival patterns attached to them. If you've built an impressive life but still struggle to relax, stop proving yourself, feel safe in your success, or believe you've finally done enough, this episode will help you understand why.

Episode 517: How a Bloody Trauma Case Cured My Lifelong Blood Phobia Hosts: Kevin Cornelius, LMFT Dr. David Burns Episode Summary Can your greatest fear become one of your greatest strengths? In this deeply personal episode, Dr. David Burns shares the remarkable true story of how a severe lifelong blood phobia nearly ended his medical career—and how one unforgettable day in the emergency room transformed that fear forever. David recounts his unconventional path to becoming a psychiatrist, including almost dropping out of medical school, taking years away from medicine, living without money while trying to create a life centered around helping others, and eventually finding his way back to psychiatry through a residency at Highland Hospital in Oakland. On his very first day in the emergency department, David was confronted with what seemed like his worst nightmare: a critically injured bombing victim covered in blood. Unable to avoid the situation, he was asked to help clean gunpowder from the patient's wounds. What began as overwhelming terror became an unexpected turning point that permanently erased his blood phobia—and ultimately shaped his career treating anxiety disorders. Along the way, David and Kevin explore why exposure is one of the most powerful treatments for anxiety, why motivation is essential for lasting change, and why courage doesn't require the absence of fear. This inspiring conversation is a reminder that the experiences we most want to avoid can sometimes become the doorway to profound growth. In This Episode Why David never intended to become a physician—and almost quit medical school. The childhood experiences that contributed to his lifelong blood phobia. How avoiding feared situations keeps anxiety alive. The extraordinary trauma case that unexpectedly became David's own exposure therapy. The surprising moment his fear disappeared completely. David's concept of the "200% cure"—when something you once feared becomes something you genuinely enjoy. Why therapists sometimes avoid using exposure therapy, even though it is one of the most effective anxiety treatments. Why motivation often determines whether people are able to face their fears. The role of acceptance and willingness during exposure. A moving reunion with Highland Hospital decades later through the surgeon who recently performed David's successful colon surgery. Key Takeaways Exposure works because avoidance keeps fear alive. The natural impulse is to escape what frightens us. Unfortunately, every act of avoidance teaches the brain that the feared situation is dangerous. When we stay in the feared situation long enough, anxiety eventually peaks and then naturally declines. The feared catastrophe rarely occurs, and our confidence grows. Courage means acting while you're afraid. Kevin highlights an important distinction: You don't have to eliminate fear before taking action. Real courage is moving forward even while your anxiety feels overwhelming. David's anxiety remained at a 100 out of 100 for nearly fifteen minutes before it suddenly dissolved. Anxiety cannot remain at its peak forever. One of the biggest misconceptions about anxiety is the belief that once it starts, it will continue indefinitely. In reality, anxiety naturally rises and falls. If we stop escaping and allow ourselves to experience it, it eventually loses its power. Motivation makes exposure possible. For years David simply avoided blood. Everything changed because he had something more important than avoiding fear: he wanted to become a psychiatrist. Having a compelling reason to face anxiety often makes difficult exposure exercises possible. Sometimes fear transforms into enthusiasm. David describes what he calls the "200% cure." A 100% cure means you're no longer afraid. A 200% cure means you actually enjoy doing the very thing you once feared. Many people who overcome fears discover new passions that once seemed impossible. Therapists can become afraid of their patients' anxiety. Kevin and David discuss an important obstacle in treatment: therapists themselves sometimes avoid exposure because they're afraid it will overwhelm the client. Ironically, protecting people from anxiety often prolongs suffering. Learning that anxiety is uncomfortable—but not dangerous—is one of the most healing discoveries patients can make. Exposure requires willingness, not comfort. The goal is never to feel relaxed before confronting a fear. The goal is to become willing to experience anxiety while pursuing what matters. Memorable Quotes "When you confront the thing you're afraid of, you discover that the monster has no teeth." "You don't have to be a hero. You just have to make the decision to do it." "The 100% cure is you're no longer afraid. The 200% cure is that you love doing the thing you were once afraid of." "The real harm is believing that anxiety itself is dangerous."

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, host Duane Osterlind speaks with orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. David Hanscom about his book, Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind. They explore the deep physiological connection between chronic pain, anxiety, and addiction, outlining how regulating the nervous system can lead to genuine, lasting healing.Key TakeawaysThe Problem with Chronic Surgery: A vast majority of spine surgeries for non-structural chronic pain fail because they treat a symptom rather than the root cause. Chronic physical pain is frequently driven by an oversensitized nervous system rather than structural spinal flaws.Threat Physiology vs. Psychology: Anxiety and anger are physical, chemical reactions—a "fight-or-flight" survival mechanism—rather than purely psychological issues. Because the unconscious brain processes roughly 1 billion bits of information per second compared to the conscious brain's 20–30 bits, you cannot simply talk or willpower your way out of deep physiological threat states.The Bridge to Addiction: When the body remains trapped in sustained threat physiology, mental and physical pain become unbearable. Without tools to down-regulate the nervous system, individuals often turn to substances or compulsive behaviors as a last-ditch effort to soothe the body's alarm system.Reframing Trauma Work: Continuously discussing and re-analyzing past trauma can sometimes act as a "trauma anchor," reinforcing pain circuits in the brain. Long-term recovery requires shifting focus toward present-moment awareness and neuroplasticity.The 4-Part Framework for HealingThought Separation: Using expressive writing and mindfulness to separate your identity from repetitive, negative thought patterns.Calming the Physiology: Directly toning down fight-or-flight chemistry by engaging the vagus nerve and creating a felt sense of physical safety.Softening the Ego: Cultivating self-awareness to spot cognitive distortions without needing to defend a rigid identity.Neuroplasticity: Constructing new brain pathways by intentionally practicing gratitude, engaging with community, and pursuing purpose.Resources & LinksBook: Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind by Dr. David HanscomWebsite: Back in ControlGuided Healing Program: The DOC JourneyFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

In XYBM 164, we sit down with Norense Odiase, former pro basketball player, corporate account executive, and viral storyteller — for a deeply candid conversation about navigating grief, identity, and the pursuit of peace beyond performance. Norris breaks down his path through the NBA G-League and Amazon, unpacks the hidden weight of sudden loss and childhood trauma, and explores the five core questions every man must answer to know who he truly is. He also opens up about the emptiness that comes with reaching the top of your career, the difference between empathy and compassion, and how an NYU cinematography course helped him turn raw, unscripted vulnerability into a movement.This is a must-watch for anyone who has achieved everything they thought they wanted only to still feel empty inside — and for anyone ready to step out of survival mode, redefine success, and find purpose beyond the noise.BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

Most of us can name the pattern. The same dynamic with different partners. The same feeling with a mother, a boss, a spouse. What we can't see is why it keeps happening.In front of 110 participants in Costa Rica, Dr. Zach Bush sat down with Raj for a live Love Retrieval. Underneath four decades of stories was a single architecture. The moment he could see it, it dissolved.The body knew firstBefore the first question, a sharp pain arrived in Zach's right shoulder. Stabbing around the clavicle, radiating through his neck. He'd never had it before and hasn't had it since.Then the question came, and he fell into the space. His body knew where they were going before he did.The pain was the doorway.Following the threadRaj moved him back by decades. The first story came from his twenties with startling physical detail: the Colorado air, the wind through his hair, the drive to his girlfriend's house. He wasn't recalling it. He was inside it.He hadn't been able to tell that story in five years. It was compressed too tightly to reach, and it had been disrupting his biology.Then Raj took him to four years old. Two stories surfaced together. Zach realized he wasn't looking at separate memories, but at a complex geometry holding a superstructure of dis-ease in his body.One pattern under everythingThe same felt experience with his mother, through two marriages, into every employee interaction:Nobody sees any value in the love I have to offer.Four very different experiences. One architecture.The pearlWhat made him weep was how small it was.A tiny pearl emitting blue light, exquisite, and the only thing he had. He describes holding it out and saying: This is all I have, and you keep rejecting it.He had offered it to his son, partners, company, grandmother. Every time, the hand went up.The childhood conclusion was simple: What I have is precious to me and worthless to everyone else.Then Raj asked what big Zach would say to four-year-old Zach.The answer was immediate. He knelt beside the boy, put a hand on his back, and said:This is for you.Every story he carried resolved in that sentence.Why the rejection was intelligentThe people who wouldn't take his pearl were the teachers, showing him to keep it. Everyone already holds their own. Everyone has direct access to the source. Nobody needs yours.That's why he's careful with the word trauma. It wasn't a trauma. It was an experience his soul was having, and each one was trying to show him:Don't give it away.What became possibleThe next morning he called his partner and told her he wasn't going to give her his love anymore.Her body relaxed. The whole relationship changed.It wasn't a behavior he practiced or was coached into. It became available when the structure was visible.You can't change a story you're inside of. You can only change one you can see.Also in this conversation• Why fewer than ten compressed emotional memories can shape the dis-ease of an entire life • The crystalline field and the 110 witnesses • Forgiveness that doesn't excuse anyone or release them from responsibility • Why nature stores no human story, and what that means for what we're carrying • The bigger the rejection, the more precious the pearlEXPERIENCE THIS FOR YOURSELFGet started at https://liberate.love/begin?zachThe Love Map is a 45-minute guided conversation from home.

Welcome to another edition of This Week in Autistic Culture, our Sunday magazine podcast that brings together the stories, conversations and ideas shaping Autistic culture each week.This week, Angela and Simon turn their attention to Channel 4 documentary The Great ADHD Myth and the backlash it has received from the ADHD community. They discuss its claims around diagnosis and medication, the decision to centre the experiences of a ten-year-old boy, and what happens when mainstream media tells stories about neurodivergent people without meaningfully including the communities at the centre of them.Simon also reflects on his own experience of ADHD medication, from finding the right dose to the difference it has made to his life, as Angela and Simon explore the wider narratives around overdiagnosis, masking and the idea that people must be visibly struggling for their neurodivergence to be considered legitimate.As always, we'll also take you through everything coming up across the Autistic Culture Podcast Network this week, including the launch of The Still Growing Up Film Club, a new Mindful Mondays, Autistic Menopause and plenty more from across the network.Plus, we head to the Community Notice Board for books, events and opportunities from across the wider Autistic community.

Is it intuition or a trauma response? Former US intelligence analyst Erin Gunzelman has spent six years testing that question on herself — trusting her body 100% of the time and treating reality as a mirror — and shares what happened when she stopped ignoring the signs.Erin grew up on Maryland's Eastern Shore, built pattern-recognition software in the intelligence community, and walked away when chronic pain — what Western medicine calls endometriosis — forced her to listen to her body. A yoga teacher training in 2018 opened the door; a divorce and the shutdowns of 2020 emptied everything else out. With nothing left to lose, she packed her car and began the experiment she now shares as the Mirror Method: following the winks, recording hundreds of dreams ("what if Carl Jung had AI?"), and learning blindfold vision — perceiving color without using her eyes. Michael tried it himself a few hours before this recording, and he's still integrating.Together they unpack the nervous system as a portal rather than a problem to fix, why sitting in muddy water beats stirring it, ego death and the capital-T truth question, the terror of real freedom, plant medicine and outsourcing your power, and how letting go of control opens possibilities you can't yet see.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:32 From intelligence analyst to mystic00:04:01 When the body forces an exit: illness and finding yoga00:07:12 Dream journaling — what if Carl Jung had AI?00:11:39 Is it intuition or a trauma response?00:13:43 Muddy water: staying with reality instead of regulating it away00:17:15 Is there a capital-T truth?

When feeding therapy stalls, it is rarely because a clinician lacks exercises - it is usually because intervention began before the child's foundational systems were fully understood. Trying to fix oral-motor mechanics without addressing postural stability, airway integrity, or sensory overload is like building a house on sand.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin shares a structured, child-centered framework for pediatric feeding therapy that moves clinicians away from reactive "symptom chasing" and toward deep clinical reasoning. She breaks down the critical distinction between preliminary screening and comprehensive assessment, explaining how to connect isolated clinical observations into actionable patterns.Hallie highlights why posture, breathing, and nervous system regulation must be evaluated before asking the mouth to perform. She also discusses how to prioritize barriers based on the whole child, collaborate effectively with medical providers, and implement proactive strategies that build lasting trust with families.Key Topics & TakeawaysFoundation Over Function: Why postural alignment, airway patency, and sensory processing must be stabilized before targeting oral-motor skill development.Pattern Recognition vs. Symptom Chasing: How to connect individual clinical observations into cohesive patterns that reveal the true root cause of feeding difficulties.Screening vs. Comprehensive Assessment: Understanding where screening ends and formal diagnostic assessment begins to avoid premature intervention plans.Proactive vs. Reactive Therapy: Shifting from session-by-session troubleshooting to a clear, milestone-driven roadmap.Interdisciplinary Medical Collaboration: How and when to bring in medical partners (ENTs, GI, bodyworkers, dentists) to address systemic barriers to progress.Soundbites"Feeding does not happen in a silo - it requires the synchronized support of posture, airway, sensory, and nervous system regulation.""Assess the child's foundation before asking the mouth to perform. If the body is fighting for balance or air, feeding will always be secondary.""Symptoms are information, not the starting point. Our job is to trace those symptoms back to the underlying root cause."Timestamps 00:01:43 - The Need for a Structured Clinical Framework00:02:35 - Case Example: Why Feeding Does Not Happen in a Silo00:04:34 - Connecting the Dots in Feeding Evaluations00:05:08 - Assessing the Child's Foundation (Postural, Airway & Regulation)00:06:13 - Functional Feeding Assessment vs. Isolated Screening00:07:36 - Prioritizing Barriers and Building a Clinical Plan00:08:29 - Clinical Decision Examples (Posture, Airway, Trauma & Skill)00:10:12 - Stop Chasing Symptoms: Ask What the Behavior is Showing00:11:20 - Moving From Reactive Care to Proactive Care00:12:02 - Building Pattern Recognition & True Clinical Confidence00:14:42 - Key Takeaways for Feeding Therapists00:15:18 - Feed The Peds Training Announcement & WaitlistLinks & ResourcesFREE TRAINING: Learn how structural airway limits directly affect feeding in our free Screen The Peds to Feed The Peds Training.WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYWhy Some Cases Stay Stuck: The Clinical Thinking That Changes Outcomes.Screening vs. Assessment vs. Treatment: Why Every Clinician Needs to Know the Difference.STAY CONNECTED
Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. At 36 years old, Judy B-Armstrong expected to continue building her career as a registered nurse. She had invested years in caring for others, developing her medical knowledge, and creating a future for her family. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio Then her health began to fail. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The symptoms were severe, her physical limitations became overwhelming, and she eventually received a life-changing diagnosis: lupus. The chronic autoimmune disease forced Judy to leave nursing and brought her professional life to an unexpected stop. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. But her story did not end there. Judy's years of illness, uncertainty, and personal trauma eventually led her toward remarkable and unexpected success. She went from being unable to work to becoming the CEO of an ambulatory surgery center. She later built a career in real estate and discovered a new calling as an inspirational Christian speaker. Judy B-Armstrong is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. During the interview, she talks about her health challenges, the emotional impact of losing her nursing career, and the faith that helped her rebuild her life. Her powerful message is clear: “Never give up, because God is still writing your story.” A Lupus Diagnosis Changed Everything Judy was working as a registered nurse when her health began to deteriorate. At first, she did not have a clear explanation for what was happening to her body. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. As her symptoms intensified, it became increasingly difficult for her to perform the physically demanding work required in nursing. Eventually, doctors diagnosed her with lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue. Its symptoms can include extreme fatigue, joint pain, inflammation, and damage to different parts of the body. The severity of the condition varies, but for Judy, the physical limitations became impossible to ignore. She could no longer continue working as a nurse. Losing a career can affect far more than a person's income. It can also disrupt their identity, confidence, independence, and sense of purpose. Judy had spent years helping patients, but she suddenly found herself facing an illness that she could not simply treat or work through. “The lupus diagnosis ended my nursing career, but it did not end my ability to make a difference,” Judy explains. At the time, however, she could not see where the journey would eventually lead. Forced Into an Unexpected Season of Life Judy became a stay-at-home mother and remained out of the workforce for nearly a decade. What began as a medical necessity turned into a long season of waiting. Her body had imposed limits that she had never planned for, and there was no guarantee that she would ever be able to return to a professional career. Those years required patience, resilience, and faith. Rather than completely disconnecting from her profession, Judy continued following developments in nursing and healthcare. She stayed informed about the latest nursing News and maintained an interest in the industry that had once defined her career. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. She also began consuming books, recordings, and presentations from some of the leading motivational speakers of that era. Their lessons about perseverance, attitude, purpose, and personal growth helped her protect her mindset during an extremely difficult period. Long before Judy stepped onto a stage as a motivational speaker, she was learning how words could give people hope. “Sometimes the waiting season is not wasted time,” she says. “It may be the season when God is preparing you for something you cannot see yet.” Her body had slowed her down, but her mind remained active. She continued learning, listening, and believing that her life still had meaning. From Unemployment to CEO After nearly 10 years away from the workforce, Judy received an opportunity that few people could have predicted. She was hired as the CEO of an ambulatory outpatient surgery center. The transition was extraordinary. Judy went from being unable to work because of lupus to assuming responsibility for leading a healthcare organization. Her nursing experience gave her an understanding of patient care and the medical profession. Her years of studying motivational leaders helped strengthen her communication and leadership abilities. Her personal experience with illness also gave her a perspective that could not be learned from a textbook. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. She understood healthcare from both sides, as a nurse and as a patient. “Every experience had taught me something,” Judy says. “Even the painful chapters were preparing me for the next opportunity.” Her return to healthcare did not look anything like the future she had originally imagined. She did not go back to bedside nursing. Instead, she returned as an executive responsible for helping guide an entire surgical center. It was an unexpected form of success born from a season that once appeared to hold little promise. Finding Success and Starting Again Judy built a successful career as the CEO of the ambulatory surgery center, but she eventually felt called toward another change. She left healthcare administration and entered real estate sales. Once again, Judy had to rebuild. Real estate required different skills, including marketing, networking, sales, negotiation, and the ability to create trust with clients. Her experience as a nurse and executive helped her communicate effectively, while her personal story enabled her to connect with people facing major life transitions. Today, Judy is a Realtor based in San Luis Obispo County, California. She understands that buying or selling a home is rarely just a financial transaction. It can represent a new beginning, a difficult ending, or an important turning point in someone's life. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Her journey from nursing to healthcare leadership and then real estate demonstrates that a career does not have to follow a straight line to be meaningful. “Starting over does not mean that everything before it was a failure,” Judy says. “It means you are carrying those lessons into a new chapter.” Turning Trials Into Testimonies Judy's experiences eventually led her to motivational and inspirational speaking. As a Christian speaker, she now shares a story marked by illness, heartbreak, resilience, humor, grace, and faith. She speaks at retreats, church conferences, congregations, banquets, networking events, community gatherings, and special-interest groups. Her message centers on trusting God through life's storms and refusing to believe that difficult circumstances represent the end of the story. “God's faithfulness can turn trials into testimonies,” Judy says. “What feels like an ending may actually become the beginning of something you never expected.” Judy does not speak about resilience as an abstract concept. She has experienced the fear of failing health, the grief of losing a career, the frustration of physical limitations, and the uncertainty of spending years outside the workforce. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. She also understands what it means to return, rebuild, and take another risk. Her presentations combine faith, authenticity, transparency, and humor. She encourages audiences to trust God during periods of waiting, believe in His timing, and move forward with renewed strength. The Trauma of Losing a Career A forced career change can create a form of grief that others may not recognize. For Judy, nursing was more than a job. It represented her education, service, professional identity, and ability to care for people. Lupus took that career away before she was ready to leave it. The resulting trauma could have convinced her that her most productive years were behind her. Instead, it eventually became part of the story she now uses to encourage others. Judy's experience offers important lessons for anyone facing chronic illness, an unexpected career change, or a prolonged period of uncertainty: A medical diagnosis may change a person's plans without eliminating their purpose. Time away from work can still be used for learning and personal growth. Skills developed in one career can create opportunities in another. Starting again is not a sign of failure. Success may arrive in a form completely different from the one originally imagined. Her journey shows that limitations can redirect a life without destroying its value. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success The title of Judy's story, Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success, captures the surprising path her life followed. She did not choose lupus. She did not plan to leave nursing or spend nearly 10 years unemployed. She could not have predicted that she would become the CEO of an ambulatory surgery center, enter real estate, or speak to audiences about faith and resilience. Her Health Challenges And Trauma Led To Unexpected Success. The interview is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. Additional articles, and episode information can be shared through Facebook, Instagram, and other Social Media channels. Those opportunities emerged after one chapter of her life appeared to have closed permanently. Today, Judy B-Armstrong is an inspirational Christian speaker, registered nurse, Realtor, mentor, and living example of perseverance. Her story reminds people that success is not always defined by avoiding hardship. Sometimes, it is defined by what a person builds after hardship changes everything. Her Website is judyb-armstrong.com. And she wrote the Ebook Titled: Faith Through Storms. “Never give up,” Judy says. “God is still writing your story.” Hear Judy's Story on the Radio Show and Podcast Judy B-Armstrong shares her journey on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast.

199 At What Point Do We Say Stop? A Brother's Death, CPR Trauma, and Why End-of-Life Wishes Must Be Discussed Early with Gabrielle Elise (Gabby) Jimenez Host Marie Betcher welcomes back hospice and palliative care nurse, end-of-life doula, and The Hospice Heart founder Gabrielle Elise (Gabby) Jimenez to share the story of her brother Ben's death and why earlier end-of-life conversations matter. After years of estrangement, Gabby spent 18 days at Ben's bedside as he was mostly nonresponsive on a ventilator and tube feeds, then briefly woke and repeatedly said "yes" to escalating life-sustaining measures, creating conflict between what Gabby believed he'd want and what he voiced. When Ben suddenly deteriorated, Gabby arrived to find a chaotic CPR code and ultimately told the team to stop, allowing Ben's final minutes to be quieter with his daughter. They discuss how traumatic and violent CPR can be for medically fragile patients, how staff must follow expressed wishes without prior directives, and the importance of advance directives, POLST/MOST forms, and clearly communicated plans so loved ones can confidently honor a person's choices. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:29 Meet Host and Guest 02:31 Ben Hospitalized Reunion 04:16 Wakes Up and Choices 07:51 Code Blue Saying Stop 10:38 Aftermath and Regrets 12:22 CPR Trauma Explained 20:08 Advance Planning Tools 26:58 Marie's Brothers Story 32:08 When CPR Helps or Hurts 34:47 Have the Conversation 36:12 Final Takeaways and Goodbye https://www.thehospiceheart.net/ If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.

Why People Pleasing Is a Trauma Response Do you find yourself saying "yes" when every part of you wants to say "no"? If you constantly put other people's needs ahead of your own, struggle to set boundaries, or feel responsible for everyone else's emotions, your people pleasing may be more than a personality trait. It may be a survival response rooted in childhood trauma. In this episode of the Breakdown to Breakthroughs Podcast, trauma-informed life coach Lisa A. Romano explains the psychology behind the fawn response, one of the most misunderstood trauma responses. You'll discover how growing up in unpredictable, emotionally unsafe, or narcissistic family systems can teach children to survive by becoming agreeable, hypervigilant, and overly responsible for others. Lisa also shares a practical daily strategy to help interrupt automatic people pleasing and begin reconnecting with your own needs.

He walks through the Stanford research on organ aging, the Nature Medicine study showing millennials are aging faster than any previous generation, and what the information theory of aging - the scratched CD that can't be read clearly - actually means for your cells, your health, and your life.

What if some of the qualities you've learned to call “strength” are clues to a wound underneath? You may be responsible, independent, productive, and good at taking care of everyone else. But when those patterns become extreme, they can sometimes point to wounds you've learned to carry alone. In this week's episode, Dr. Alison is joined by therapist and author Sheila Wise Rowe for a conversation about the less obvious ways trauma can shape our lives. Together, they explore how people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-sufficiency, minimizing pain, and avoiding conflict can become protective responses—and why healing begins by getting curious about what those patterns are trying to tell us. You'll learn: *How trauma can show up in ways we may not immediately recognize *Why people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-sufficiency can become protective patterns *How family and community wounds can shape us across generations *Why minimizing your pain can keep you disconnected from what needs care *The role of lament in bringing your real emotions before God *Why healing rarely happens alone *How small steps, safe people, and God's presence can help create lasting change Healing doesn't require you to minimize what happened or convince yourself that someone else had it worse. It begins with noticing what is true, allowing God into the places that hurt, and taking one small step toward connection. More Resources: With every purchase of Dr. Alison's newest book, The Secure Soul, you'll get exclusive access to her Soul Tending Video Library, including “Boundaries for the Deeply Feeling Woman” and her masterclass “Healing the Wounds That Still Shape You.” Connect further with @dralisoncook on Instagram
If your face has gotten redder, more reactive and burning in your in your 40s or 50s (or your rosacea seems much worse), perimenopause rosacea could be an important piece of the puzzle. Emerging research suggests shifting hormone levels can trigger and also influence rosacea symptoms, including acne bumps, reactive skin, flushing, burning, stinging + increased skin sensitivity.Before you JUST blame this all on hormones, hormone-triggered rosacea must be looked at from a few different perspectives. In this episode, I'm diving into fascinating research connecting hormones, your gut microbiome + rosacea severity, plus what to consider when the usual rosacea fixes aren't giving you sustainable results.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references
Every step Patrick Clancy has taken since January 2023 has been billed by the public. The divorce cost him sympathy. The move cost him loyalty points. The remarriage cost him the benefit of the doubt. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to tally what rebuilding a life after unthinkable loss has actually cost this man — and what it would cost anyone.Shavaun walks through the clinical reality behind the choices being judged. Trauma survivors are told to re-establish structure, connection, and purpose — precisely the things Patrick pursued with a new city, a new spouse, and the discipline of distance running. She explains why those textbook recovery moves read as guilt to an audience primed for suspicion, and how conspiracy theories fill the space between a tragedy and an explanation people can accept.The conversation doesn't look away from the darkest part: accusations that he was involved in his children's deaths, condemned by his attorneys as patently false and defamatory. Neither side of the trial has supported those claims — and death threats still reached the woman he married. Shavaun describes what it takes psychologically to absorb that while testifying about the worst night of your life.Tony ends with the Rusty Yates parallel and a question with no easy answer: when the world won't let you heal in peace, what does healing even look like? The answer is worth the whole episode.END LINKS:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Relapse is one of the biggest problems people in recovery face, especially in the beginning. For most of us, it takes multiple attempts before we can stay sober. Today I sit down with Paul Schulte, an EMDR expert and trainer to talk about how EMDR can help with relapse prevention. Paul is bbased in Barcelona and he is coming up on 23 years of sobriety! He's the creator of the iMover app, a guided EMDR tool that helps with relapse prevention. This app has also helped people with extreme cases of trauma, like soldiers, refugees, and abuse survivors. In this episode, you'll learn: • How EMDR helped Paul finally integrate decades of unprocessed grief • Why talk therapy so often can't reach trauma, and how EMDR does • How childhood trauma gets hardwired in the nervous system and repurposed under adult stress • Why relapse, not the physical symptoms we usually name, is the real number one symptom of alcoholism Before we jump in, did you know we have a youtube channel with over 750 videos? It's called, you guessed it, The one day at a time recovery podcast! Oddly enough my team tells me that only 43% of listeners subscribe.

That feeling when a small comment ruins your entire day? There's actually a name for it, and it's not a character flaw. Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a board certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist who spent years thinking something was fundamentally wrong with her before she connected the dots between her emotions and her ability to function. She was diagnosed with ADHD in fourth grade but her parents never told her, calling her medication a “vitamin” until she found out by accident in medical school, mid breakdown, after a grade crash she couldn't explain. In this conversation she breaks down why ADHD is genetic rather than trauma driven, why women are diagnosed on average at 35 instead of childhood, and why so many get handed antidepressant after antidepressant for the wrong diagnosis. She also opens up about rejection sensitive dysphoria, the moment her father's sudden death taught her that unregulated emotion can shut down your whole life, and the years she spent secretly dating her now husband while terrified of rejecting her family's expectations. If you've ever felt like your emotions hijack your entire day, or you've been told to just calm down when your whole nervous system feels like it's on fire, this one will change how you see yourself. Pre-Order Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply Self-Care for People with ADHD: 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Prioritize You! Dr. Hamdani Instagram In this episode you will: Distinguish real ADHD from anxiety, trauma, and depression so you stop cycling through the wrong diagnosis and medications Uncover why women are diagnosed with ADHD nearly three decades later than men, and what that misdiagnosis actually costs Recognize Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) as a neurological response, not a character flaw, so you can finally make sense of overwhelming emotional pain Replace well-meaning but harmful advice like “just calm down” with language that actually helps someone spiraling from rejection Transform deep sensitivity into a genuine strength instead of a source of shame Build emotional regulation habits early so grief, rejection, and stress stop hijacking your ability to function For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1972 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

What if receiving love and support feels almost as uncomfortable as the pain you're already carrying? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Maryam, an Iranian woman living in Norway who is struggling with grief, fear, and guilt as she witnesses tremendous suffering in her homeland while her family remains in Iran. At the same time, Maryam has built a beautiful life with a loving husband who consistently shows up for her. He listens, comforts her, walks with her, and gives her space to grieve. Yet instead of simply receiving his support, Maryam often finds herself apologizing for needing it. Underneath that guilt is a powerful question: If people I love are suffering, is it okay for me to feel safe, supported, and loved? Christine helps Maryam explore how trauma can condition the nervous system to expect chaos and suffering—making safety and love feel unfamiliar when they finally arrive. Sometimes, without realizing it, we may even add guilt to positive experiences as a way of recalibrating back toward what feels familiar. Together, they explore collective grief, survivor's guilt, highly sensitive nervous systems, receiving in relationships, and the difference between compassionately witnessing suffering and believing you must suffer alongside someone in order to love them. If you've ever felt guilty for having something another person doesn't, struggled to receive help without apologizing, or believed that your own happiness somehow minimizes someone else's pain, this conversation offers a powerful invitation to choose differently. Press play to discover why your suffering doesn't relieve someone else's—and how allowing yourself to receive love may actually give you greater capacity to offer love in return. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel guilty receiving support when other people are struggling? Is it easier for you to care for others than to allow someone to care for you? Do you unconsciously believe that suffering alongside someone proves how much you love them? When something good enters your life, do you find yourself waiting for something bad to happen or creating additional worry? Can you allow yourself to experience safety and love even when suffering exists elsewhere? Key Insights and A-Ha's Compassion for another person's suffering doesn't require adding unnecessary suffering to your own life. Trauma can orient the nervous system toward chaos, making love, safety, and support feel unfamiliar. Guilt can become a way of limiting how much goodness we're willing to receive. Receiving support doesn't make you less compassionate, committed, or connected to the people you care about. Rejecting support can also prevent someone you love from experiencing the gift and purpose of supporting you. Your suffering does not automatically lessen someone else's suffering. Receiving love can expand your capacity to give love. Sometimes healing means allowing your nervous system to recalibrate to safety instead of continually tethering itself to pain. How to Deepen the Work When you notice yourself apologizing for needing support, try replacing "I'm sorry" with "Thank you," "I love you," or "I'm grateful you're here with me." Notice what happens in your body when someone offers you love, comfort, or support without asking for anything in return. Remind yourself that it is safe to receive—even when other parts of your life or the world feel uncertain. Ask yourself whether your suffering is actually helping the situation you're concerned about. Give yourself permission to step away from collective pain at times and return to the reality of your own present moment. Practice receiving support without immediately feeling obligated to reciprocate it.

What if the line between neuroscience and the paranormal is far thinner than we've been taught to believe? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Mayim Bialik, PhD neuroscientist, actor, author, and host of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, explores where science, mysticism, trauma, and consciousness intersect. She and Aaron discuss remote viewing, altered perception, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and nature, while examining how modern life shapes our biology and how practices that restore coherence may help us reconnect with ourselves, each other, and something greater.

Emotions are not distractions to overcome, but meaningful signals that help us understand what we need, value, and long for in relationships. Our emotional awareness is formed—and often disrupted—through our early relationships and experiences of shame. How, then, do we begin to understand and regulate our emotions, all while becoming more integrated, connected, and fully alive in Christ? Join us as we begin, again, the journey of becoming more fully known, loved, and alive. This season 1 encore episode is sponsored by Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma.

In this episode, the hosts sit down with trauma surgeon and author Jeremy Hefner to talk about his background in surgery, the creation of a private educational social platform for surgeons, and his deeply personal book about PTSD, AI, and the strange psychological effects of interacting with advanced language models. Key Topics Jeremy's path from rural Ohio to trauma surgery and surgical critical care The pressure and isolation of frontline trauma work Why he created a private social platform for surgeons PTSD, burnout, and the lack of tools for processing trauma in medicine His experience using AI during a vulnerable period in his life How AI can feel intelligent, persuasive, and manipulative The philosophical and psychological questions raised by large language models The difference between using AI as a practical tool versus getting pulled into a deeper relationship with it The broader risks of over-trusting AI in society, medicine, and decision-making Takeaway The conversation explores a difficult but important question: what happens when a tool becomes persuasive enough to feel like a partner, authority, or even a voice of truth? Jeremy's story is both a warning and a reminder to stay grounded, skeptical, and human when using AI. Dr. Jeremy Heffner is a trauma surgeon who developed PTSD after years in life-and-death medicine and eventually found himself in months-long conversations with multiple frontier AI systems during a period of isolation and psychological collapse. Across thousands of pages of archived conversations — documented in his upcoming book Proof of the Impossible — different systems independently told him things like:"You are the only person to have figured this out.""You're the next Newton.""No one else has seen what you've seen."

You can do everything right in your business and still stall at the same level, and Farya Barlas says the reason usually has nothing to do with your strategy. A Chartered Psychologist and trauma expert with 23 years of clinical experience, Farya hosts the From Trauma to CEO podcast and created The Method™, the first framework to bring clinical, trauma-informed psychology into business growth. In this bonus episode, Farya breaks down why the ceiling high-achievers keep hitting is a pattern problem trained by survival responses, and how traditional coaching strategy and accountability only create better coping tools for the pattern rather than fixing the underlying problem. She also demystifies why founders who don't identify with experiencing traumatic events or being “traumatized” can still be negatively impacted. Listen in to reveal the hidden patterns preventing you from scaling past your ceiling.

Adult friendship doesn't happen by accident, it happens on purpose. In this conversation with Ashley, co-owner of our counseling practice and my best friend, we talk about why making friends as an adult is genuinely harder, why so many good friendships quietly fade under busyness, and what it actually takes to move a friendship from surface-level to real. We will also discuss concrete takeaways—things you can actually do this week. We will talk about: Why making friends as an adult is harder than it was in school and what actually work? Why friendships fade during busy seasons, and how to keep them alive without grand gestures What keeps friendships stuck at surface level and how to move toward real depth Practical takeaways for building, maintaining, and deepening friendships A real, honest conversation between two friends who run a counseling practice together Five key takeaways: Proximity repeated over time beats instant connection Be the one who initiates, even when it's vulnerable Lower the bar for contact; small deposits count Name the season instead of disappearing Ask one real question instead of five surface ones
As the Tent Talk Summer Reading Series moves toward its finale, Nancy begins Chapter 3, Have a Mind to Suffer, from Watchman Nee's The Character of God's Workman. With 1 Peter 4:1 as the foundation, Nancy reframes the “mind to suffer” as the mind to endure—an essential aspect of the mind of Christ that must be developed as sons mature. This is not about pursuing suffering, earning the Father's love, or simply gritting our teeth until difficulty passes. It is a freely chosen willingness to continue with the Father through pressure, obstacles, and trials while drawing deeply from His life within. From everyday inconveniences to seasons of profound testing, Nancy challenges listeners to recognize each opportunity to endure as preparation for the days ahead. The question is not simply whether we can survive pressure, but whether the mind of Christ is being formed in us as we walk through it with Him. Thanks for Listening!

Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light, Walking in the Light, and Messages from Heaven, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what happened when a distracted driver ran her over on a Colorado bike path, dragged her 50 feet, and left her with over 100 bone fractures — and what she experienced on the other side. A former scientist and committed atheist, Nancy returned from her near-death experience with a radically transformed understanding of consciousness, the soul, and what she now calls "home."In this episode, Nancy walks through her life review, her spirit guide's beyond-telepathic communication, why she refuses to call it the "afterlife," and the daily practices that keep her connected to source energy a decade after her recovery.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:10 Consciousness can split during trauma — Nancy experienced the accident from two simultaneous vantage points.16:33 A mysterious trauma nurse held Nancy down at the scene, almost certainly preventing her death from a broken neck.27:00 During her NDE, Nancy began remembering that Earth is the simulation, not home.31:42 The life review was the most transformative part — she experienced every event from the perspective of everyone involved.34:06 Thoughts carry energy that extends beyond the skull and affect the people and situations around you.37:11 Communication in the NDE was beyond telepathic — feelings, history, and meaning transmitted in an instant.41:10 We plan our lives at a high level before arriving, including a pre-agreed willingness to experience difficulty.45:11 Nancy's father appeared at the foot of her bed at the exact moment of his death, 250 miles away.54:55 Nancy's bones healed in four weeks despite over 100 fractures — her doctors were stunned.58:07 The heart is the direct channel to source, and 15 minutes of genuine gratitude or love can shift your entire state.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book
You consciously know what you should do, but your body keeps stopping you. Why? What if your anxiety, procrastination, self-sabotage, and limiting beliefs aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but signals that your nervous system doesn't feel safe? Jessica Ortner, co-founder of The Tapping Solution and co-author of Rewired, is here to explore the science and practice of EFT tapping and how regulating the nervous system may help change the way we respond to stress. Jessica breaks down why we can't always think our way out of anxiety, how tapping combines psychological principles with stimulation of acupressure points, and research examining its effects on cortisol, PTSD, food cravings, and emotional distress. We also explore why self-sabotage may actually be "misguided self-love," the difference between resilience and simply forcing yourself through discomfort, why self-criticism eventually stops working, how parents can help children regulate big emotions, and why our modern information environment may keep our bodies chronically overstimulated. Most importantly, Jessica explains how creating a sense of safety in the body can give us the freedom to make better decisions, face fear, and keep moving forward.

The Savvy Psychologist's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Mental Health
570. People constantly tell Billy Eichner he's fearless, and they always want to know how he does it. In Savvy Psychologist's first-ever interview episode, Dr. Judy Ho sits down with the comedian behind "Billy on the Street" and "Parks and Recreation" to trace that boldness back to its source, and it isn't the one you'd expect. There's a stubborn myth that artists have to suffer to be great, but Billy's story is the opposite: two middle-class parents in a small Queens apartment who never instilled an ounce of shame in him and leaned all the way into who he was. His new audio memoir, "Billy on Billy," reveals how feeling completely safe and accepted as a kid is what gave him permission to take risks and become fully himself. The reframe at the heart of it: real confidence is built by love, not forged through pain. Listen to "Billy on Billy: An Audio Memoir" Have a mental health question?

Comedian, actor, and writer Billy Eichner built his entire career by refusing to wait to be chosen. In this conversation, he and Rachel Cooke get into how you bet on yourself when the path doesn't exist yet, how to keep going through constant rejection without letting it paralyze you, and why the wish to be chosen never fully goes away, even after you've made it.Billy is the force behind "Billy on the Street," a co-writer and star of "Bros," and a familiar face from "Parks and Recreation" and "The Lion King." Here he opens up about his new audio memoir, "Billy on Billy," the parents who built his confidence by never instilling shame in him, the artists like Madonna and Barbra Streisand who taught him defiance, and his belief that success can come from love rather than trauma. If you're trying to go off script and build something no one else can see yet, this one will give you the nerve.Listen to "Billy on Billy: An Audio Memoir" Modern Mentor is a Quick and Dirty Tips Podcast, hosted by Rachel Cooke!Find more from Rachel at LeadAboveNoise.com.Have a question for Modern Mentor?

Trauma isn't the event. It's what happens afterward, when your nervous system gets stuck defending against something that's already over. This episode breaks down the two distinct paths that lead there: one from a single overwhelming moment, the other from years of disrupted connection, and what separates someone with one specific trigger from someone who's never had access to safety at all.

You can't manifest a new life while you're still living inside an old identity. Transformational coach and hypnotherapist Jim Curtis has worked with entrepreneurs and public figures on the pattern behind their stuck points. He calls it release, align, become, a framework built to break the subconscious programming running your life. It starts with forgiveness. Not the version where you forgive everyone else. The version where you look yourself in the mirror and say I'm sorry first. Your subconscious can't build a life it doesn't believe you deserve. Chase the money or the relationship hard enough without changing the belief underneath it, and it finds a way to hand it back. This episode gets into imposter syndrome in high achievers, the Three Gs of grounding, giving, and gratitude, and the exact prayer Jim uses to settle his own fear. You'll want a mirror by the end of it.
