Emily Nagoski is a best-selling author, researcher, and sex educator. Emily studied psychology in college, and a fateful job as a peer health educator drew her immediately to the field of sex education and violence prevention. She went on to receive a master's degree in counseling psychology and a PhD in health behavior. After working as a researcher at the famed Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, she took a job at Smith College, where she lectured and was the director of wellness education. After teaching a class on women's sexuality, the thing her students said they took away most from the class was that their bodies were normal. She knew that she was onto something powerful and wrote Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life to help women understand their own sexuality. The book was a huge hit, and eventually, Emily left her job to write and speak full-time. Over the last five years, Emily has written two more books, including this year's Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections.National Domestic Violence Hotlinewww.ndvh.org1-800-799-SAFE (7233)TTY 1-800-787-3224National Sexual Assault Hotlinewww.rainn.org1-800-656-HOPE (4673)Love Is Respectwww.loveisrespect.org1-866-331-9474TTY 1-866-331-8453Text: loveis to 22522Chat Online:www.loveisrespect.orgThese resources were sourced from futureswithoutviolence.org.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this solo episode, psychologist Traci Stein discusses grief and the phenomenon of After Death Communications (ADCs). Grief is an experience that absolutely everyone will have, but most of us feel ill prepared to navigate. Yet, the research shows that most people believe in an afterlife, and over half of us report experiencing some sort of after-death communication with our loved ones - whether through feeling their presence, hearing, smelling or seeing them, or through “visitation” dreams. These experiences can be profoundly comforting and give us permission to move forward. In this episode, Traci also shares some personal experiences and invites listeners to share theirs as well.

Do you know how common mental abuse is? According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, 80 percent of the population has experienced some form of abusive relationship and behavior. However, despite how frequent it is, emotional abuse is still hard to spot. Unlike physical abuse, mental abuse doesn't leave any visible scars; instead, it affects someone's behavior, mindset, and mentality. This means some people deny they've been mentally abused, and others may not even recognize the toxic behavior. So, whether you're reading this to be able to recognize emotional abuse in others or recognize it in yourself, these a few things people who've been mentally abused do are sure to help you be more empathetic and kinder. IMPORTANT: If you have been abused or you suspect someone else has been, we've left a list of resources to reach out to. Please do not hesitate to contact them for help for yourself or a loved one.

Episode 92: Beyond- Astronomy is a little Mental Astronomy is hard! And in ways that extend far beyond the science we do every day. In this Beyond episode, Kiersten and Cormac talk all about mental health in astronomy and the structural issues that may be contributing to things like burnout and anxiety. It's not all doom and gloom though. There are a few things that studies suggest that can help. We also chat about strategies that have helped us when we were struggling in hopes that they may be useful to you too. We round off with Cormac's Hai-cool poetic riff for our one sentence summary.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Over-drinking is usually a sign that our mental health is in need of some help. Over-drinking is a symptom. For a lot of my clients, it's a symptom of stress, high levels of anxiety, overwhelm, loneliness, grief, big painful life changes or traumatic events like a high conflict divorce or a major medical diagnoses. Using alcohol as a way to cope is a sign that your mental health could use some support. It's not something to be ashamed of or to keep a secret. If you've been struggling with alcohol use and you identify as someone who is using alcohol as a way to cope (or another sign is, finding it very hard to stop automatic behavior and can't identify the cause of your over-drinking) it's time to get help. Tune into this podcast episode and hear the intersections of mental health and over consumption of alcohol.Here's a resource I used in creating this episode:https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/sites/default/files/2022-06/MHF-Alcohol-and-mental-health-guide.pdfAnother resource:SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357) (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service), or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

Have you ever thought of the type of parents you have and what role they played while you were growing up? The proper role of the parent is to provide support, encouragement, and involved in daily task. A parent is their child's first teacher and should remain their best throughout the life. Sometimes we wonder why we are treated a certain way, or question the involvment of your parents in your life. Understanding and recognizing bad parental decisions can help parents make the best decisions for their child. Can you relate to any of these signs?

If you feel you or someone you know might have been emotionally neglected as a child, please watch this video. Child abuse doesn't always leave marks and bruises but instead makes you grow up with invisible scars. Even if this kind of abuse doesn't show on the outside, it can impact your whole life, even after you're long gone from your childhood home. This kind of abuse is called childhood emotional neglect, a dark place where a child is ignored, not taken seriously, told their feelings don't matter, and treated like they're not even there. Because this form of abuse is often unrecognized and unreported, it could be difficult to spot the signs. This can be confusing when you grow up with emotional problems, and you're left wondering why am I like this? So, we made this video to help you find more clarity about what you're going through now.

You know the song. You can't help but tap your toes. But don't do it in Bomont, because dancing is illegal there... at least, until the teenagers challenge the status quo. It's the wildly successful 1984 film, "Footloose", starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, John Lithgow, Chris Penn, and Dianne Weist. Zack's wife, Audrey Bennett, joins him for this look back at a film that, as popular as it was, perhaps didn't match the popularity of its own soundtrack. --- Do you think you're being abused?

Get ready for an empowering episode of Radically Loved as we dive into the inspiring journey of Brittany Means, a dynamic writer and editor who's breaking the cycle of abuse and rewriting her narrative. In this riveting conversation, we explore the intersections of poverty, abuse, and addiction while delving into the importance of recognizing signs of abuse and neglect.Brittany opens up about the complexities of forgiveness, sharing her unique perspective on this transformative process. She bares it all on the vulnerability of memoir writing, detailing the surprises and challenges encountered during her courageous journey.But that's not all – we get an exclusive sneak peek into Brittany's upcoming project on health and mental health within religious communities, promising thought-provoking insights.In this episode, you'll discover that breaking the cycle of abuse requires self-awareness and a reflective examination of how past experiences shape our behavior. Recognizing signs of abuse and neglect becomes a crucial step in fostering a safe space for children to share their truths.TakeawaysBreaking the cycle of abuse requires self-awareness and reflection on how past experiences have shaped one's behavior.Recognizing signs of abuse and neglect is crucial in order to support children and create a safe environment for them to speak their truth.Forgiveness is a complex process that can be defined in different ways for different people. It is important to find a definition that aligns with one's own healing journey.Writing can be a cathartic tool for processing trauma, but it is essential to prioritize self-care and engage in grounding practices outside of writing.Memory is unreliable, and our brains can create different narratives of the same events. It is important to be aware of the limitations of memory when writing memoirs.Connecting with mentors and finding inspiration from other writers can be instrumental in developing one's own writing style and pursuing a career in writing.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Trigger Warning00:59 Introduction of Guest01:56 Breaking the Cycle of Abuse04:30 The Intersection of Poverty, Abuse, and Addiction09:25 Recognizing Signs of Abuse and Neglect12:30 The Complexity of Forgiveness21:26 The Intimacy and Vulnerability of Memoir Writing24:55 Mentors and Inspirations29:36 Self-Care and Writing Practices38:19 Cutting Out Parts of the Book and Surprises in the Writing Process42:23 Upcoming Project45:06 Connecting with Brittany Means46:13 Final TakeawayResources:Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, and there are people and organizations ready to provide support.

But you can take certain measures to lower the chances of this happening to you or your children.Don't share explicit images or videos with strangers online. Don't send or post any pictures of yourself online that you wouldn't show your grandmother or boss. Assume that once something is online, you have no control over its distribution.Be extremely cautious about sharing personal, sensitive or intimate information online. Restrict the information you share on social media and adjust privacy settings to limit who can view your posts.Maintain open lines of communication with your children. Make sure they know that they won't get in trouble if they experience online abuse. This way, they'll feel more at ease reaching out for help if something happens.Educate yourself, your children, and your community (especially young people) about online safety, including the risks of sharing explicit content and engaging in intimate conversations with strangers.Consider limiting your children's internet use or spot-check their phones and other devices. Start by selecting appropriate apps and websites, and establish guidelines for access. Open discussions and including them in decisions can build trust and responsibility. Utilize parental control features. Keep tabs on the people your children are communicating with; this can be part of an open and ongoing conversation about what is (and isn't) appropriate online. It also may be worth considering a rule against devices in bedrooms overnight or shutting off Wi-Fi access after a certain time.Treat online interactions with the same skepticism as you would with strangers in real life. Help your children learn to have a healthy skepticism of strangers online and identify red flags that they may not be who they claim. SOSA recommends making this lesson interactive by creating a fake profile together, which will help them truly see how easy it is for someone to fake their identity. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children also has resources, videos, and games to help younger children and teens understand online risks.Use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts. Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible to add an extra layer of security. When not in use, turn off devices - especially those with cameras, microphones, or webcams - to prevent unauthorized access. Don't click on links in e-mails from people you don't know.If someone exhibits concerning behavior, threatens you, or asks for explicit content, report them to the platform administrators and, if necessary, law enforcement.Grooming warning signsWhat to know about online abuse and traumaWays to prevent groomingWhat to do when a predator contacts your childGet Help:If you, your child or a loved one becomes a victim of sextortion, try to remain calm. Remember, sextortion is a crime, and the predator is to blame, not your child or you.Do not comply with the sextortionist's demands, whether they involve sending more explicit content, money, or anything else. Giving in to their demands rarely stops the harassment and can lead to more serious problems.Save all conversations, chats, or messages exchanged with the sextortionist. Do not delete your profiles or the messages exchanged. If financial demands are involved, document any transactions made. Record any telephone numbers, email addresses, usernames and profiles you might have received from the person. This evidence can be crucial for any potential investigations or legal actions.Many resources advise blocking the perpetrator, but SOSA recommends waiting until law enforcement advises you to do so, because blocking the person could result in losing access to their information.Contact law enforcement right away. Reporting the incident is key to stopping the perpetrator and getting help. Contact your local law enforcement or local FBI field office. You can also call 1-800-CALL-FBI, or report it online at tips.fbi.gov.If a minor is involved, contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or report online sex abuse to NCMEC's CyberTipline.Reach out to a trusted adult or friend for emotional support and guidance. If you don't feel that you have adults in your corner, you can reach out to NCMEC for support at gethelp@ncmec.org or call 1-800-THE-LOST.If you or your child is struggling emotionally due to the incident, consider seeking professional help from therapists or counselors specializing in trauma or cyberbullying.Get it removed. Most social media platforms, websites, and apps have mechanisms to flag inappropriate content. Some platforms offer customer support that you can reach out to directly. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's "Take It Down" program helps remove images of minors. Visit cybertipline.org to get NCMEC's help or missingkids.org/IsYourExplicitContentOutThere to learn how to notify companies.Report it, because if someone threatens to share explicit images of you, they're likely also threatening others.Red Flags:Remember that these red flags should not be taken in isolation. It's important to consider the overall context and the combination of behaviors you observe. Trust your instincts – if something feels off or uncomfortable, it's better to be cautious and seek advice or report the situation to appropriate authorities.Rapid Escalation: Be cautious if an online relationship becomes very intense or personal too quickly. Sextortion perpetrators often try to establish an emotional connection rapidly to gain trust and manipulate victims.Emotional Manipulation: Watch out for attempts to emotionally manipulate you, such as playing on your feelings of loneliness or insecurity, asking you to keep secrets, and making you follow rules about your interactions.Pressure and Coercion: Any form of pressuring, guilt-tripping, or coercing you into doing something you're uncomfortable with, including sharing explicit content, is a red flag.Explicit Content Requests: If someone you're communicating with online asks for explicit photos, videos, or personal information, it's a major red flag. Legitimate relationships should be built on trust, respect, and consent.Threats and Demands: Any form of threat, whether it's about exposing compromising material or causing harm to you or your loved ones, should be taken seriously.Reluctance to Meet in Person: If the person you're communicating with avoids meeting in person or provides excuses to not reveal their identity, this could indicate ulterior motives.Platform Switching: If someone initiates contact on one platform but pressures you to move conversations to another platform, especially if it offers increased privacy or anonymity, exercise caution. Perpetrators often aim to control the environment.Inconsistent Identity: If the person's stories, photos, or details about their life don't align or seem inconsistent, it could indicate a fake identity. Images and videos can be altered or stolen, and don't assume they're proof of someone's identity.Too Good to Be True: While compliments are normal, excessive flattery might be a tactic to manipulate emotions and lower defenses. Be cautious of individuals who offer gifts, money, job opportunities, or promises that seem too good to be true.Unwillingness to Share Personal Information: If the person avoids sharing their own personal details and only focuses on obtaining your information, it's a potential sign of manipulation.

Meg Lionel Murphy: Painting After PTSD From Domestic Violence *Content warning - Domestic Violence, Substance Abuse* Meg Lionel Murphy paints a dreamworld where suffering transforms femme bodies into a monstrous size, so that their pain must be seen, felt, and acknowledged. Murphy received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities, with three majors: Art, Art History, and English Literature. Additionally, Meg studied classical oil painting in Florence, Italy. After graduation, Meg worked as a children's illustrator, co-founded the literary and art magazine, Paper Darts, and co-directed the arts and social justice non-profit, Pollen Midwest. A diagnosis of severe PTSD from domestic violence led Murphy to leave her career in publishing to focus on painting and healing. She moved back to her childhood home in rural Wisconsin where she started painting in her father's junkyard, in a studio shack that was converted from an industrial cooler. As her art took off, she moved her studio to an old storefront—that was built as a church in the 1880s. Recent solo shows include “Traumatica Dramatica'' at The Untitled Space Gallery (New York), “Interior Violence” at CoExhibitions Gallery (Minneapolis), and solo booths with SPRING/BREAK Art Show (New York and Los Angeles). Recent group shows include “10 @ 10” at The Wisconsin Museum of Art, “Pleasure Garden'' at Laurie Shapiro Gallery (Los Angeles), and “In Her World” at Voltz Clarke (New York). Her painting has been acquired by the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Her artwork has been featured in a variety of publications including Hyperallergic, Bitch, Artnet News, and Forbes.

Our guest today, Ezy Finkel, did the Hoffman Process in March of 2023. Ezy shares with us his intimate story of recovery from addiction with honesty, humility, and light. Ezy grew up in an Orthodox Jewish community and shares his difficulties living within this community. Eventually, he was asked to leave. Then, years later, he was asked to come back to be a source of healing there. Ezy's story touches on many points of the human experience and reflects a journey of recovering his true nature, his Spiritual Self. His family had a strong pattern of perfectionism. During his Process, he discovered that he also rebelled against this pattern, needing to be different. One day at the Process, Ezy discovered a stand of trees on the land. One tree was still bare while the others were evergreen. He realized that he was like that bare tree, that he was uniquely himself. Ezy sees now that he has seasons and that change is ongoing in a human life. One thing Ezy wanted to gain from the Process was rediscovering his playful, fun-loving nature. After his Process when his daughters noticed that he now is like a little kid, he realized that he had gained exactly that. As Ezy shares this story with us, you can hear the love and joy in his voice. Sharing about his life in recovery, Ezy says that his life now with his wife and children is a whole different life and is "chaos-free." What really stands out is Ezy's love and humility as he shares about working with others in recovery. Content Warning: This episode mentions substance abuse. Please use your discretion.
