Send us Fan MailAaron and Peaches sit down to talk Blue Angels flyovers, testosterone testing, military medicine, height-to-waist standards, and why the military has to get serious about health before people break.The episode starts with the Blue Angels beach flyover debate and whether something can be technically questionable while still being completely awesome. Then the guys get into the bigger conversation around the Department of War pushing testosterone checks for men over 30, why the military medical system has resisted basic hormone testing for years, and how operator syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, cortisol dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, and low free testosterone can wreck performance and mental health.Aaron talks through his own fight to get blood work done, what the military missed, and why private-sector care finally helped him understand the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone.The conversation also hits height-to-waist standards, fat bodies in uniform, why some people will get flagged unfairly, and why most people need to stop making excuses. The bottom line: fitness is not just about looking good in uniform. It affects mental health, cognitive performance, readiness, durability, and who you become after the military.Check out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comRegister for Operator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, and Operator Training Summit03:02 - Blue Angels Flyover Controversy03:39 - Unsafe vs. Inappropriate05:00 - Why Professionals Change the Risk Equation06:59 - Was the Flyover Necessary?08:22 - Pensacola, Nellis, and Airshow Culture09:20 - Testosterone Testing in the Military10:37 - What the Headlines Are Missing11:14 - Operator Syndrome and Low Testosterone12:11 - Fighting the Military Medical System12:55 - Vitamin D Deficiency in the Military14:34 - The Problem With “Normal” Testosterone Ranges16:00 - Trying to Raise Testosterone Naturally17:14 - Total Testosterone vs. Free Testosterone18:08 - TBI, Free Test, and Feeling Broken18:57 - Whoop Blood Work and Better Data19:19 - Breaking Down Institutional Resistance20:12 - Why This Could Lead to Better Screening21:02 - How the Referral System Fails People22:08 - Why Baseline Testing Matters22:34 - Trauma Medicine vs. Clinical Medicine23:55 - Military Medicine, COVID, and Bad Advice26:35 - Readiness Pressure and Medical Liability27:30 - SSRIs, Mental Health, and Missed Questions29:26 - The Military Health System Problem30:33 - Women, Hormones, and HRT30:42 - What to Ask Before Accepting Medication31:29 - Akron Bar Fight Story34:46 - Air Force Height-to-Waist Ratio35:11 - Body Composition Standards Come Back Around36:52 - Old BMI Standards and Fat Boy Programs37:19 - Height and Weight Charts39:41 - Peaches Tests the Calculator41:16 - When the Standard Misses Body Type42:40 - Trent's Monster Habit43:29 - Strategic Energy Drinks43:56 - Ten-Year-Old Crushes the Army PT Test45:30 - Kids, Discipline, and Internet Boundaries47:34 - Coaching Kids Through Hard Things48:25 - Wrestling Coach Motivation50:38 - Height-to-Waist and Job Performance51:40 - Human Performance and Mental Health52:34 - Obesity, COVID, and Comorbidities53:54 - Water, Sunlight, Nutrition, and Fitness55:26 - What People Cut First When Life Gets Busy55:42 - Sleep as a Performance Enhancer56:43 - Why Fitness Improves Mental Health58:26 - Confidence, Attraction, and Looking Better59:45 - Extrinsic Motivation Still Counts01:01:12 - Final Thoughts and Members-Only PreviewSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Part 2 of the Attachment Wounds & Erotic Emotions SeriesMaybe you have a tendency to intellectualize or spiritualize your experience, but not always fully feel it. Or maybe you can only really arrive in your body when something intense is happening. This episode is about how that happens, how it shapes your erotic needs and the way you show up in intimacy, and what to do about it, if you choose. The safety wound is the earliest developmental wound we're covering in this series. It shows up in desires, in relationship, and in sex, plus in every day life where people with this wound have a tendency to dissociate. This episode is Part 2 in the Attachment Wounds and Erotic Emotions series — if you haven't listened to Episode 130 yet, start there first.What Is the Safety Wound? Origins and Early DevelopmentThe safety wound forms in the very first stage of life — from the womb through infancy, before language, and before verbal memory as we know it. The unmet need is fundamental: a sense that the world is safe to exist in, and that the body is a safe place to be.The causes can include traumatic birth, early separation from a birth mother through adoption or loss, time in a NICU, parental anxiety or depression, domestic chaos, overwhelming or unpredictable environments, or generational trauma. Often nothing was done consciously or intentionally. The body simply learned, very early, that being present was dangerous — and dissociation became the primary survival strategy.This pattern is recognized across multiple psychological traditions. In Hakomi, it's called the Sensitive-Withdrawn pattern. In the Neuroaffective Model (NATouch and NARM), it's the Connection survival style. In the Somatica Institute® framework, it's the UnSAFE wound. Different names, same consistently observed pattern — and none of them mean anything is wrong with you. This is just a coping style, and it carries some challenges that can be worked with.We'll also cover here:What the Safety Wound Feels Like: Dissociation, Floating, and Empathy OverloadHow the Safety Wound Shapes Erotic DesiresThe Safety Wound in Intimate Relationships and SexHealing the Safety Wound: Coming Back to Your BodyIn this episode:What the safety wound is, where it comes from, and why it forms so early — before language, before memoryWhy dissociation here is a brilliant survival adaptation, not a pathology — and how I recognized it in my own experienceHow this wound is named across Hakomi, NARM, and the Somatica Institute® framework — and why the older Freudian label is worth leaving behindWhat the safety wound feels like from the inside: the floating quality, the empathy overload, the pull toward intellectualizing and spiritual bypassing — and the deep current of pain, fear, or rage that often lives underneathHow the safety wound shapes erotic desire through two pathways: resolution (craving calm, merged, held, contained, seen) and repetition with agency (craving intensity, edge, risk, primal)Why craving dangerous or intense experiences in a chosen context makes complete sense for this wound — and why felt safety is still the prerequisite, even for the edgy stuffWhat the safety wound looks like in relationships: the connection that arrives and quietly disappears, and what partners tend to experience in bedWhat healing looks like for this wound — embodiment first — and why somatic work is more relevant here than therapy or spirituality aloneCompanion resource for this series: The Wheel of Erotic Emotions → laurajurgens.com/wheelTopics: safety wound, attachment wound, dissociation and intimacy, dissociation and desire, not in your body during sex, childhood trauma and sexuality, somatic sex coach, somatic intimacy coach, intimacy coach, erotic emotions, erotic desires, attachment and desire, childhood wounds relationships, sensitive withdrawn attachment, connection survival style, attachment, healing dissociation, embodiment and desire, feminist sex coachGet my free guide: Get Out of Your Head: A Starter Guide to Releasing the Pressure, Shame, and "Shoulds" Around Intimacy at https://laurajurgens.com/guideMore links: Substack at https://laurajurgens.substack.com/Pleasure Path Diagnostic here: https://laurajurgens.com/diagnostic/About me, testimonials, blog, bookings: https://laurajurgens.com/Wheel of Erotic emotions, go to: https://laurajurgens.com/wheelCopyright notice: All content in this podcast is copyrighted and copying, scraping, data mining, or using the content to train AI is prohibited.

What if the biggest obstacle to greater abundance isn't attracting more—but feeling safe enough to receive it? In this episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel Ai Reavis concludes her three-part neuroscience and money series by exploring the fascinating connection between the nervous system and our ability to receive success, money, opportunities, visibility, and support. Listeners will discover why expansion can sometimes feel unexpectedly uncomfortable, even when it is something they've been praying for and working toward.Drawing on neuroscience and gentle nervous system awareness, Michel explains why the brain naturally prefers what is familiar over what is possible, and how that tendency can influence financial decisions, business growth, pricing, visibility, and the willingness to accept abundance. Rather than viewing hesitation or self-doubt as personal flaws, this episode invites spiritual entrepreneurs to see these experiences through a compassionate, empowering lens.Listeners will leave with practical, supportive ways to gradually expand their capacity to receive, celebrate success without fear, and create greater safety around prosperity, recognition, and joyful growth. If you've ever wondered why success can sometimes feel just as vulnerable as struggle, this encouraging conversation offers both insight and hope for your next season of expansion.Action StepsPractice receiving with intention. The next time someone offers a compliment, support, encouragement, or appreciation, simply say, "Thank you," and allow yourself to fully receive it without minimizing or deflecting it.Celebrate your wins—big and small. Pause to acknowledge each success before rushing to the next goal. Help your nervous system learn that growth, achievement, and abundance are safe.Notice where receiving feels uncomfortable. Pay attention to moments when you hesitate to accept opportunities, charge appropriately, ask for help, or welcome visibility. Approach these moments with curiosity rather than judgment.Ask a new empowering question. Instead of asking, "What if it doesn't work?" gently explore, "What if it does?" Notice what thoughts, emotions, and possibilities begin to emerge.Journaling PromptsWhere in my business or financial life do I already feel safe receiving, and where do I still notice resistance?If success, visibility, and abundance felt completely safe, what opportunities would I be willing to say yes to today?What is one small way I can intentionally practice receiving more support, joy, or prosperity this week?If this episode encouraged you, inspired a new perspective, or helped you better understand your relationship with receiving, consider sharing it with another spiritual entrepreneur who may need this reminder. Together, we can create healthier relationships with money, success, and abundance—one gentle step at a time.Thank you for listening to the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs. Be sure to subscribe so you never miss a future episode, and if this conversation resonated with you, leaving a review is a wonderful way to help more purpose-driven entrepreneurs discover the show. Your willingness to receive may become the very thing that allows your light to reach those who need it most.Contact Michel: michel@moneylighthouse.com

Have you ever looked back on a relationship and wondered,"The red flags were there. Why didn't I see them?"In this episode of the Worth Loving Podcast, Keana W. Mitchell explores how to recognize emotionally unsafe people before becoming emotionally invested. While emotionally unsafe individuals don't usually reveal themselves immediately, their patterns often tell a different story than their words.Building on last week's conversation about Why Low Self-Worth Attracts Toxic Partners and How to Break the Cycle, this episode helps listeners develop discernment and identify warning signs that can protect their emotional well-being in future relationships.You'll learn how emotional safety differs from chemistry, why consistency matters more than promises, and how to identify behaviors that create confusion, instability, and emotional insecurity.Whether you're dating, healing from a past relationship, or learning to make healthier relationship choices, this episode will equip you with practical tools to recognize emotional safety and protect your heart.In This Episode, We Discuss:Recap From Last WeekWhy low self-worth can make us vulnerable to toxic partnersThe connection between self-worth and relationship choicesHow trauma bonds, weak boundaries, and fear of abandonment keep people stuckPractical steps to begin breaking unhealthy relationship patternsWhat Emotional Safety Really MeansThe difference between emotionally safe and emotionally unsafe peopleWhy promises don't build trust—patterns doThe importance of observing behavior over time5 Signs Someone May Be Emotionally Unsafe1. Their Words and Actions Don't MatchWhy consistency mattersRecognizing mixed signalsLearning to trust patterns instead of promises2. They Avoid AccountabilityDefensiveness and blame shiftingWhy healthy people take responsibility for their behavior3. Everything Happens On Their TermsOne-sided relationship dynamicsWarning signs of emotional control4. They Minimize Your FeelingsEmotional invalidationHow dismissing your emotions can impact your self-trust5. You Feel Worse About Yourself Around ThemThe connection between emotional safety and self-worthWhy healthy relationships should support your growthReflection QuestionsTake some time this week to reflect on these questions:Am I paying attention to patterns instead of promises?Do I feel emotionally safe expressing my needs and concerns?Does this relationship bring me peace or confusion?Am I constantly explaining away red flags?Would I want someone I love to be treated this way?Featured Song

She covers Graham Platner ending his Maine Senate campaign after his Reddit post mocking a wounded Purple Heart soldier, the rape revelation and the Totenkopf tattoo; Finland's Supreme Court convicting MP Päivi Räsänen over a 2004 church pamphlet on Christian teaching (and Rod Dreher's report that she can't transit Heathrow); Google AI falsely claiming New York Times coverage of the case; the cyclospora parasite outbreak and America's dependence on Mexican produce under NAFTA and USMCA; and The Atlantic's numbers on the death of reading, from the National Endowment for the Arts surveys to the reversing Flynn effect. Then the Heritage Foundation's Roger Severino — Project 2025 drafter, former head of civil rights at HHS, husband of Carrie Severino — details the plan JD Vance boosted for fighting the Supreme Court's anchor-baby ruling: closing the 14th Amendment territories loophole behind Chinese birth tourism in the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, declaring birth-tourist parents persona non grata for life unless they renounce their child's citizenship, expedited deportation for the parents, requiring hospitals to report citizenship status of parents, making illegal-alien parents pay public school tuition to challenge Plyler v. Doe, and using tax law against returning anchor-baby 'sleepers' — the Al Capone treatment.

Have you ever finally gotten the thing you thought you wanted —a healthy relationship, a quiet weekend, someone who texts backconsistently, no drama, no chaos — and instead of feeling relieved,your chest tightens? You start overthinking. You feel restless. Yousuddenly want to leave. Or you create a problem where there wasn't one.That's what Brianne Davis-Gantt calls Peace Panic — when calm feelsunsafe.In Episode 319 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne breaks down why peopledon't actually fear chaos — they fear peace. And why, when you've beenliving inside The Fantasy Loop™, your nervous system has been trainedto believe intensity equals love, longing equals chemistry, anduncertainty equals attraction. So when peace finally arrives, your bodyasks: wait, where's the danger?In this episode, Brianne covers:— Why your nervous system interprets calm as a threat when chaos hasbeen your baseline — and why it asks "is this familiar?" instead of"is this healthy?"— How Peace Panic disguises itself as intuition: "I don't think I likethem anymore," "I lost the feeling," "they're too nice," "something'smissing" — when it's actually activation, not insight— Why this is exactly where people sabotage healthy relationships:mistaking regulation for boredom, consistency for lack of chemistry,and kindness for weakness— How Peace Panic connects directly to The Fantasy Loop™: the loopdepends on activation (Stage 2) and survives through on-and-offreinforcement (Stage 4). Peace interrupts the loop — and the nervoussystem protests— A 4-step framework for working through Peace Panic: don't decidewhile activated, come back to your body, practice staying in thepeaceful moment, and use the Truth Reset— Why healing feels boring before it feels beautiful — and why thatboredom is actually your nervous system grieving the excitement thatwas really survivalThe one question to sit with this week: when peace shows up in yourlife, do you receive it — or do you accidentally recreate chaos?There is nothing wrong with you. Your nervous system is simply speakingthe language it learned in childhood. And it can learn a new one — wherecalm equals connection, consistency equals safety, and peace finallyfeels like home.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comTake the Truth Reset on the Fantasy Loop website: thefantasyloop.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We have seen a highly sensitive security report which states that Prince Harry is the focus of six terrorist plots, five of which originated in the UK.The report, commissioned by Harry's own private security firm, details dozens of threats and potential attacks facing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and includes an al-Qaeda document which called for his assassination.The revelations come as the Duke of Sussex is preparing to travel to the UK, and has still not decided whether to bring his family to his home country, which he considers is unsafe.The document was submitted to the UK security committee tasked with deciding whether Harry should get state-funded protection when he travels in the country.So where does it leave Prince Harry's plans for his UK visit next week? Will he bring Meghan and the children to see the King for the first time in years? Or is the whole thing off?And how does Prince Harry personally feel about the situation?Chris, Lizzie and Charlene discuss on this week's Talking Royals.

Crumbling. Rat infested. Decrepit. Unsafe for human habitation. Perhaps not the words you would want to describe the official residence of Canada's leader-- but 24 Sussex Drive has been called it all. In fact, no Prime Minister has lived in the more than a century old mansion for a decade, after Justin Trudeau moved into Rideau Cottage on the grounds of Rideau Hall-- the home of the Governor General-- upon becoming Prime Minister in 2015. But now, Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to change that. He's started a fundraiser to pay for the renovations needed to make 24 Sussex habitable again-- though he insists no matter what, he'll never live in the more than 30-bedroom residence. Today on The Big Story, host Caryn Ceolin speaks with Paul Deegan, CEO of Deegan Public Strategies, about the plan, what he thinks it signifies for Canada, and whether or not Canadians can get behind the plan. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

A leading blood cancer specialist with more than 30 years' experience says he's leaving New Zealand for Australia, due to unsafe staffing levels. Terry Taylor has resigned from his specialist cancer diagnostic role at Dunedin Hospital's pathology lab – frustrated by the lack of a national plan to recruit and retain scientists. Taylor told Mike Hosking he knows his departure won't help the situation, but he's been trying to improve it for many years. He says after the pandemic, the country had an opportunity to reset everything – however he's been banging heads with Ministers and Health New Zealand instead. Taylor says about six blood cancer specialists have left their roles in the past six months, from a total of about 10. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warum werden Systeme langsam, obwohl die Hardware doch immer schneller wird? Und warum endet die vermeintlich einfache Lösung so oft in einem Stack-Wechsel, der neue Probleme schafft statt alte zu lösen? Genau da setzen wir in dieser Episode an. Wir schauen auf Indexstrukturen, Datenstrukturen und die oft übersehene Frage, wie Workload, Hardware, Lese- und Schreibzugriffe und Algorithmen zusammenhängen. Denn häufig ist nicht die Datenbank schuld, sondern die falsche Struktur für den falschen Job.In dieser Episode sprechen wir über Red Black Trees, B-Bäume, B-Plus-Bäume, Hash-Indizes, Trie, Radix Tree, Bitmap Index und Bloomfilter. Wir machen das nicht abstrakt, sondern mit konkreten Beispielen aus der Praxis. Etwa mit Nginx und Timeout-Management im Event-Loop, mit HTTP-Routern und Prefix-Suche, mit Git und Bloom Filtern für schnellere Dateipfad-Abfragen oder mit Alerting-Systemen und Hashmaps. Dabei geht es auch um Big O, Cache Lines, Range Queries, Rehashing, Performance-Basics und die Frage, wann Optimierung sinnvoll ist und wann sie nur Overengineering produziert.Wenn du besser verstehen willst, warum manche Software unter Last einknickt und wie du mit dem richtigen Datenmodell, sauberen Metriken und etwas Architekturverständnis deutlich weiter kommst, ist diese Folge für dich. Und vielleicht ist die wichtigste Erkenntnis am Ende gar nicht, welche Indexstruktur die beste ist, sondern dass du sie in deiner eigenen Codebase vermutlich längst benutzt, oft nur ohne es zu merken.Bonus: Blumenfilter sind keine Blumen und streng genommen nicht mal ein richtiger Index.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

What happens when the very thing you need most... peace, quiet, a day with nothing urgent, starts to make you anxious instead of relieved? In this episode, Charlotte explains how prolonged caregiving can train the nervous system to normalize hypervigilance, mistrust calm, and brace for the next crisis even when nothing is wrong in the moment. She talks about why rest can feel unfamiliar, why quiet can trigger scanning instead of ease, and why this response is not a personal failure but an intelligent adaptation to living inside ongoing uncertainty. Charlotte also shares a simple grounding practice to help you notice when your body is waiting for something to happen and begin collecting a different kind of evidence: that sometimes quiet is just quiet.

Send us Fan MailTiffany Carter's story challenges the polished mythology of entrepreneurship by exposing how trauma can quietly shape the way high achieving founders earn, sell, lead, and stay visible, even when they appear successful from the outside. In this deeply honest conversation, Tiffany reframes money mindset as more than a confidence issue; it is a nervous system, identity, safety, and self trust conversation that determines how much capacity a leader truly has for wealth, visibility, and growth.Show NotesTiffany Carter joins the Badass Women in Business Podcast for a raw, strategic, and profoundly human conversation about money attachment, trauma informed business growth, emotional based selling, and the hidden survival patterns that can follow ambitious women into leadership. A former TV news broadcaster turned multimillionaire entrepreneur, Tiffany is the host of ProjectME with Tiffany Carter, a top ranked money and entrepreneurship podcast, and the creator of Emotional Based Sales Techniques™, a system credited with helping clients generate more than $265 million in sales. Her work sits at the intersection of business strategy, emotional intelligence, attachment theory, and nervous system awareness, helping entrepreneurs understand why they may crave wealth, freedom, and visibility while still unconsciously resisting the very success they say they want.Why childhood trauma can become adult money drama, showing up as under earning, overworking, hoarding, burnout, fear of reinvesting, or resistance to being fully seen.How the “false self” can help high achievers perform, succeed, and receive praise, while quietly disconnecting them from their real voice, values, boundaries, and deeper purpose.Why visibility can feel dangerous for entrepreneurs who learned early that attention, power, or money were tied to control, exploitation, criticism, or emotional risk.How trauma wired founders can stop shaming their automatic stress responses and begin managing money, sales, leadership, and growth with more awareness, guardrails, and support.Why emotional based selling is not manipulation, but a deeper way of creating trust, communicating value, and helping the right buyers feel seen, safe, and ready to invest.How Tiffany's decision to finally build ProjectME became a turning point in moving from survival, secrecy, and self doubt into truth telling, service, and financial autonomy.Why conventional business advice often fails people with complex lived experience, and why the right strategy has to account for the human being behind the brand.This episode is for the founder, executive, advisor, coach, or creator who knows she is capable of more, but keeps meeting an invisible wall around money, visibility, expansion, or self trust. Tiffany's message is not about pretending fear disappears; it is about learning how to build wealth without abandoning yourself, how to sell without performing, and how to lead from the real self instead of the survival identity that once kept you safe.Guest Contact & ConnectTiffany Carter is a money attachment expert, business mentor, international speaker, multimillionaire entrepreneur, creator of Emotional Based Sales Techniques™, and host of ProjectME with Tiffany Carter.

On Friday 12 June, AI powerhouse Anthropic cut off all access to their latest-and-greatest "Fable 5" AI model. Based on the incredibly powerful Mythos - which has the capacity to hack into almost any computer - Fable had safeguards to block that sort of use - or so Anthropic believed. A hack to 'jailbreak' Fable 5 went viral just a day after it went live - and very quickly, the White House got alarmed. Mark Pesce shares the whole tale with RNZ "Nine To Noon" host Kathryn Ryan.

What happens when you finally find the healthy relationship you've always wanted... and your nervous system doesn't know what to do with it? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Sydney, who has found herself in the healthiest and most emotionally supportive relationship of her life. Her partner is stable, trustworthy, and committed—everything she once hoped for. So why does she still feel anxious? Why does part of her still expect abandonment, betrayal, or heartbreak? As the conversation unfolds, Sydney begins to recognize that her fears aren't coming from her current relationship. They're coming from old wounds. Growing up with an emotionally unavailable mother and a father who left, her nervous system learned early that love wasn't safe and connection couldn't be trusted. Now, even though her present-day reality is different, those old protective patterns continue to activate whenever intimacy deepens. Together, Christine and Sydney explore self-abandonment, dissociation, vulnerability, receptivity, and what it truly means to feel safe enough to receive love. If you've ever found yourself pulling away from healthy love, questioning a good relationship, or feeling anxious when things are actually going well, this episode will help you understand why. Press play to discover how old survival strategies may be keeping you from fully receiving the love you've worked so hard to create.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you become anxious when relationships start feeling safe and secure? Do you find yourself expecting abandonment even when there is no evidence something is wrong? Were your emotional needs consistently met as a child? Do you struggle to receive love, support, compliments, affection, or intimacy?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Safe relationships can feel unfamiliar—and therefore unsafe—to a nervous system wired for unpredictability. Self-abandonment often begins when emotional needs go unmet in childhood. Vulnerability is not the same as neediness. Receptivity requires safety, embodiment, and trust. Many anxiety patterns are protective strategies that once served a purpose but are no longer necessary.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when you are reacting from present-day reality versus past experiences. Practice validating your triggers rather than criticizing yourself for having them. Explore ways to reconnect with your body through grounding and nervous system regulation practices. Allow yourself to express and process emotions instead of pushing them away or dissociating from them.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: jill@christinehassler.com — For information on any of my services!

Congress is finally showing a spine. After months of all gas and no brakes, the unauthorized Iran war has become the breaking point — and for the first time in this administration, Republicans, Democrats, and the Angry Middle in between are unified in opposition. The country does not want another regime-change war. The country does not want a new forever war. And the politicians, as usual, are behind the people they claim to lead. Paul Rieckhoff lays out why this moment matters and why the pushback can't stop at Iran when Cuba, Greenland, and Mexico are already in the rhetorical crosshairs. Then there's the deeper rot. The nominee to run the DNI — the traffic cop for every piece of intelligence flowing from our allies and our own agencies — has no experience and, in Paul's read, no intelligence. Scott Bessent is brawling with Bill Pulte on Capitol Hill. Ebola is spreading in Africa. Putin is slamming into Ukraine. Iran is hitting Kuwait. The World Cup is coming to American soil with a national security apparatus staffed by wannabe tough guys and unqualified loyalists.

You have a list.Maybe it's on paper. Maybe it's in your phone. Maybe it's running through your head right now.And if someone told you to put that list away for a week, no planning, no organising, no keeping track of every little thing, something in you would probably feel uncomfortable.Not because you need the list. Because of what the list helps you avoid feeling.Today's journaling prompts are designed to help you get underneath the overwhelm and uncover the belief that's keeping you busy.Journal Prompts When I picture a day with nothing on my list and nothing that needs to get done, what is my first feeling? Not the first thought. The first feeling. When I'm busy and productive, what does that say about me? You can expand this beyond productivity if it feels more true for you. When you're helping, achieving, showing up, or staying involved, what does that mean about who you are?When I'm still and unproductive, what does that say about me? On the days when you're resting more, doing less, or not going above and beyond, what story do you make that mean about yourself?If you had to stop writing to-do lists for one week, what are you actually afraid would happen? Keep going deeper than the obvious answer. Then go one layer deeper again.What would it mean about me if I let myself rest before I earned it? Take the fear or belief that came up in the previous prompt and place it into this question. Notice what comes up without trying to change it.The goal isn't to stop making lists. It's to notice what happens when there isn't something to organise, fix, achieve, or cross off.Pay attention to what came up as you wrote today. Because the belief underneath your overwhelm is often easier to see in moments of stillness than it is in the middle of a busy day.Resources Mentioned:The Should Session: To Stop you from bringing work stress home!

Florida is suing ChatGPT owner, OpenAI, accusing the company of promoting the AI tool despite being aware of the dangers it posed to minors. The wide-ranging lawsuit also includes allegations that the chatbot played a role in two fatal shootings in the state last year. US correspondent Jacob Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

What if the leadership skills we've spent decades rewarding are no longer the ones that matter most?In this conversation, mediator, peacemaker, and author Douglas Noll argues that AI is making critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and human connection more valuable—not less. As technology takes over more analytical work, leaders who can regulate trust, create psychological safety, and keep people engaged will have a growing advantage.Doug challenges some of the deepest assumptions in modern management, including the idea that people are primarily rational actors. From emotional contagion in the workplace to the three questions every nervous system is constantly asking, this discussion explores why leadership in the AI era may be less about technical expertise and more about understanding human behavior.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Douglas on LinkedInCheck out Douglas' websiteVisit Noll AssociatesSupport the show

When Conflict Feels Unsafe: How to Stay Open-Hearted Without Abandoning Yourself Have you ever known the “right” way to communicate, but in the heat of conflict, those tools seem to disappear? In this episode of Relationship Truth: Unfiltered, Leslie sits down with psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Kelly Flanagan to talk about what really happens inside of us when we get triggered—and how one small, sacred moment of choice can shift us from reactivity toward connection. Together, Leslie and Kelly explore why communication often breaks down within us before it breaks down between us, how to recognize when our hearts are closing, and why open-heartedness never means becoming a doormat. This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating destructive, painful, or confusing relationships who want to grow in wisdom, courage, and Christlike strength without abandoning themselves.   Key Takeaways Communication Breaks Down Inside Us First Dr. Flanagan explains that many people already have communication skills, but when they feel threatened, hurt, or misunderstood, they “close the toolbox” right when they need it most. The real work is not just learning better words—it is learning to notice what is happening inside our bodies, hearts, and nervous systems when we become triggered. That moment of awareness creates a pause. And in that pause, we begin to recover our God-given agency to choose a different response. You Can Notice When Your Heart Starts to Close Kelly describes a triggered moment as a process: the nervous system activates, the heart begins to shift into protection mode, and then we make a quick, often unconscious choice about whether to close down or stay open. Leslie connects this with the biblical wisdom of Proverbs: “Above all else, guard your heart.” Guarding your heart does not mean hardening it. It means learning when to pause, when to regulate, and when to make wise choices about what you allow in and what you release. Open-Heartedness Does Not Mean Weak Boundaries One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is the distinction between an open heart and a lack of boundaries. Dr. Flanagan reminds listeners that the condition of your heart is an inner posture, while boundaries are outer actions. An open heart does not make your boundaries weaker—it makes them wiser. For women in destructive or emotionally unsafe relationships, this is crucial. Christlike love does not require self-abandonment, enabling, or pretending harm is not happening. Calm Yourself Before You Try to Connect Conflict escalates when we try to calm ourselves by controlling someone else's behavior. Kelly uses the illustration of a furnace: when the “control board” inside us is malfunctioning, we often try to change the weather outside instead of tending to what is happening inside. Before we can connect well, we must first regulate. That may mean taking a break, breathing, praying, going to another room, or simply saying, “I'm triggered right now, and I need a little time before I can respond well.” Your Growth Is Never Wasted Leslie and Kelly offer hope for the woman who has tried everything to get her husband to communicate better, become safer, or look at himself honestly. While you cannot control another person's choices, you can still do your own work. Even if the relationship does not heal the way you hoped, God does not waste your growth. As you become more whole, wise, and grounded, you are better equipped to make faithful, courageous decisions about what comes next. Dr. Kelly Flanagan is offering listeners a free video tutorial that walks through the nine-step process from his book, The Road Less Triggered, helping you begin moving from reactivity toward connection. To receive the resource, email: drkellybonus@gmail.com You will also be temporarily subscribed to his online community, The Less Triggered Tribe, with the option to unsubscribe at any time.   Friend, being triggered does not mean you are failing. It means something inside of you is asking for care, attention, and wisdom. You do not have to stay stuck in reactivity, fear, silence, or blame. With God's help, you can learn to pause, regulate, speak truth, set wise boundaries, and grow into a more whole version of yourself. You are not alone, and even in painful relationships, your healing and growth still matter.  

When Success Feels Unsafe Have you ever worked hard for something you deeply wanted… only to walk away the moment success arrived? In this deeply personal episode of Called to Confidence, Sharon shares a surprising story from her own life: returning to college, making the Dean's List, and then quitting—not because she failed, but because success felt terrifying. If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, or the pressure to maintain impossible standards, this episode will resonate deeply. Together, we explore how confidence can be quietly sabotaged by performance pressure and the fear of not measuring up. This episode is a powerful conversation about personal development, emotional growth, and recognizing the hidden beliefs that keep us stuck. Because sometimes the thing holding us back isn't failure—it's the pressure success seems to create.

A co-founder of OpenZeppelin said he's urging friends to exit blue chip DeFi.

Plus, both lay out the practical question every user should ask before putting money into any protocol.

In today's episode I'm talking about money, AI, and why so many women still don't feel financially safe, even when they're earning well.I share what's been lighting me up this week: a fascinating conversation with Alex Zeck inside HDx on how we're sold health narratives that don't hold up to scrutiny, why I'm building female-led companies into my AI investing criteria, and what the Scott Galloway episode on Diary of a CEO got so right about the fear-mongering around AI. I also get real about something that happened in my own home this week that reminded me how often women are walking around feeling unsafe, and how money and AI are two of the most practical tools we have to change that. And I talk about perseverance: what it actually takes to build a business, and why determination is the thing most people underestimate.If you've ever felt financially capable but still financially unsafe, this one's for you.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxJoin the waitlist for the Money, AI and Human Design Mastermind: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/money-mastermind-waitlistAs mentioned: Diary of The CEO episode with Scott Galloway-https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/scott-galloway-ai-wasnt-built-for-you-the-rich-dont/id1291423644?i=1000765979158OTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?

Parenting with Someone Who Is Emotionally or Spiritually Unsafe How do you parent well when the other parent is manipulative, emotionally unsafe, spiritually abusive, addictive, or simply unwilling to grow? It's one of the most painful and exhausting realities many women face after separation, divorce, or even within a difficult marriage. In this powerful conversation, Leslie is joined by Michael and Kristin Cary of Living Truth Together to talk honestly about why “friendly co-parenting” is not always realistic—or safe—when the other parent continues destructive patterns. Together, they offer practical boundaries, faith-rooted wisdom, and compassionate guidance for moms who want to protect their children without badmouthing the other parent or getting pulled into more chaos. Key Takeaways Friendly Co-Parenting Isn't Always Possible—or Safe Many women are told that if they communicate clearly, stay kind, and “do their part,” co-parenting will become peaceful. But when someone was unsafe in the marriage, separation or divorce doesn't magically make them safe, reasonable, or cooperative. Michael reminds us that issues like sex, money, parenting, addiction, manipulation, and emotional abuse don't disappear just because a couple is no longer together. In many cases, trying to co-parent closely with an unsafe person only creates more opportunities for harm. Boundaries Protect Your Soul and Reduce Unnecessary Conflict Kristin shares from her own experience of parenting with a toxic ex-spouse and explains how she learned to put strong boundaries around communication. That meant not answering phone calls, avoiding one-on-one texting when possible, using another person in written communication, meeting in public places, and limiting conversations to only what was necessary. These boundaries are not punishment. They are protection. As Leslie points out, when someone has repeatedly shown that engaging with them only brings arrows and harm, wisdom means accepting reality and choosing a safer way forward. Loving Yourself Is Not Unchristian Many women feel an over-spiritualized obligation to keep sacrificing themselves—to answer every question, calm every outburst, defend every accusation, or rescue the unsafe person from his own consequences. But Jesus told us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Kristin names a powerful truth: you have agency now. You have authority over your time, energy, body, and emotional well-being. Sacrifice is beautiful when it leads to life and love, but it is not godly wisdom to continually sacrifice yourself to someone who uses your availability to harm you. You Can't Fully Protect Your Children, But You Can Equip Them One of the hardest truths for any mother is realizing she cannot completely shield her children from the other parent's toxicity. Kristin shares the deep surrender of recognizing that God loves her son even more than she does—and that while she can make wise choices, she cannot control everything he experiences. That doesn't mean doing nothing. It means helping your children recognize what is healthy and unhealthy, teaching them that they have choices, listening without using their pain as a weapon, and helping them build their own safety and discernment over time. Don't Put Your Children in the Middle When the other parent blames, lies, or spiritually shames you in front of the children, it can be tempting to defend yourself by telling the whole story. But children should not have to carry adult burdens. Kristin offers a wise, age-appropriate response: “Adult problems are really complex, and sometimes adults hurt each other in ways children shouldn't have to understand. This is not your fault. It is not your responsibility to fix it. I love you.” Leslie adds that if something untrue is said, you can calmly say, “That's not true. Dad is hurt and angry, and he's saying some things that aren't true,” without attacking his character. You Still Need Support, Rest, and Joy Parenting is hard. Parenting in a destructive or broken relationship is even harder. Kristin encourages women to get support, remove nonessentials where possible, and intentionally seek moments of real joy—not numbing or avoiding, but small places of delight and refuge with God. Michael reminds us that self-care does not always require large blocks of time. Sometimes it looks like five minutes in the sunshine, a cup of coffee in prayer, a worship song, or a quiet breath before the next hard thing. Personal Invitation If this episode stirred something in you and you're wondering, “Where do I even begin?” we want to help you take a clear next step. Download Leslie's Quickstart Guide to begin gaining clarity, courage, and practical direction for your situation. You don't have to figure everything out at once. Start with one wise step. Download the Quickstart Guide here: https://leslievernick.com/guide   Friend, your situation may feel impossible, especially when the other parent refuses to change, take responsibility, or become safe. But even if he never changes, you can. You can become the grounded, steady, emotionally healthy anchor your children need. You can stop dancing the old destructive dance. You can seek support, walk in truth, and learn to protect your heart without hardening it. You are not alone. God sees you, He loves your children, and He will give you wisdom for the next right step. Keep walking in truth—one step at a time.
