Bismillah,Aku Ngga Mau Bergantung Sama Cowok — Ustadz Muhammad Nuzul Dzikri | Unspoken Ep. 44

In Episode 393, I discussed how an author platform is not just about visibility or follower count but something far more foundational. Since then, I keep thinking about this idea that a platform is not only something you build for publishing, but it is something that is actively forming you as an author while you build it. Today, I want to explore something that is still deeply misunderstood by many aspiring cookbook authors: what a platform actually does beyond getting you noticed. Because while publishers do care about platform, the real question is not whether your platform is big enough, it's what your platform is shaping you into over time. In this episode, you'll discover: Why a platform is less about visibility and more about forming real relationships with readers that shape your cookbook concept and voice How consistent engagement with readers sharpens your message through real-world feedback, not guesswork The unexpected way a platform builds confidence by replacing self-doubt with real evidence that your work matters Why your platform begins creating opportunities for you - speaking, teaching, collaborations - before you ever "pitch" anything If this episode helped you rethink your platform, I created a simple, practical tool to help you see what you already have, what's working, and what's missing.

Behind the brick walls of the Fernald State School in Massachusetts, thousands of children, many poor, disabled, or simply unwanted, were warehoused for decades under the guise of “care” and “education.” Inside, they endured overcrowding, abuse, neglect, and secret radiation experiments in which boys were fed radioactive oatmeal and tracked like lab animals, all so researchers and corporate sponsors could collect data they never consented to give. The school marketed itself as a place of opportunity, but for many of the children trapped there, Fernald was a closed world of humiliation and exploitation that only much later would be exposed as a hidden crime scene masquerading as a classroom.

In this episode, I discuss one of the most overlooked skills inside BigLaw, the ability to accurately read strategic and emotional signals that are rarely communicated directly. While junior lawyers often focus almost entirely on legal analysis, assignments, and technical execution, sophisticated lawyers are constantly evaluating something happening underneath the surface of every interaction. Things like changes in tone, pauses, responsiveness, alignment, incentives, and positioning. I explain how senior lawyers detect client hesitation long before concerns are formally expressed, why internal team dynamics often shift before anyone acknowledges a problem, and how experienced partners quietly evaluate whether associates can manage uncertainty in real time.  I also break down how subtle signals inside client calls, email chains, staffing discussions, and fast-moving matters often reveal much more than the words being spoken. Finally, I discuss why the lawyers who rise fastest inside elite firms are often not simply the smartest legal technicians, but the people senior lawyers trust to recognize instability early, maintain sound judgment under pressure, and understand what is actually happening inside a matter beyond the formal assignment itself. At a Glance 01:20 Why junior lawyers are often judged on detecting unspoken signals inside firms and client matters 02:10 How senior lawyers quickly identify shifts in concerns and client alignment 03:04 Why sophisticated lawyers read emotional and strategic signals, not just assignments 04:26 How junior associates learn to recognize hidden dynamics by studying senior lawyers' reactions 05:13 Subtle client behavior that signals change in trust, strategy, or potential replacement of counsel 06:24 Why firms rapidly recalibrate staffing, communication, and documentation 07:16 How lawyers develop pattern recognition for instability through repetition and experience 08:00 Why law firms evaluate lawyers on judgment and contextual awareness far beyond technical skill 08:55 Why the most trusted associates are the lawyers senior partners feel safe relying on under pressure 09:23 How slight breakdowns in responsiveness and coordination can signal deeper team fragmentation 10:30 The hidden question partners ask when evaluating whether associates are ready for more responsibility 10:53 Why elite law firms expect lawyers to detect hierarchy, tension, fear, and uncertainty before their spoken 11:23 How lawyers who recognize instability early often become highly effective advisors and crisis managers Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

What happens when a soldier comes home from war and discovers that music can heal the wounds the doctors missed?In this episode, I sit down with musician, songwriter, veteran, and outspoken truth-teller Sean Martin. Sean's journey takes us from the redwood coast of Northern California to the battlefields of Iraq, through the struggles of PTSD, and ultimately into a creative practice rooted in honesty, healing, and a band named the Quarintened.Along the way, Sean shares how music became more than an art form. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and years of songwriting, he discovered that creative practice could become a way of confronting fear, questioning assumptions, and reclaiming agency over his life.We also explore two of his songs, Skeleton Chair and Unspoken, conversations about war, trauma, truth-telling, James Baldwin, and the responsibilities artists have when they choose to speak about the difficult realities that many people would rather avoid.You'll discover:• How music, cognitive behavioral therapy, and disciplined creative practice helped Sean navigate PTSD and reclaim a sense of agency after war.• Why confronting “the unspoken”—personally, culturally, and politically—lies at the heart of both healing and artistic practice.• How art can become a vehicle for critical thinking, helping people examine the invisible forces that shape their beliefs, fears, and relationships.Notable MentionsMusic & Creative PracticeThe Quarantined (Spotify Artist Page) — Sean Martin's grunge, punk, and metal project. Through The Quarantined, Martin explores trauma, war, resilience, addiction, politics, and recovery through deeply personal songwriting.“Skeleton Chair” — The Quarantined on Spotify — A song inspired by Martin's experiences in Iraq and the emotional aftermath of combat. During the interview, Martin describes the song as emerging from therapy work focused on a specific combat experience and the psychological realities of war.“Unspoken” — The Quarantined on Spotify — A song exploring truth-telling, civic responsibility, and the consequences of silence.

Mahan Mirarab wuchs in Teheran auf und lebt heute in Wien. Protest, Gewalt, Angst und Exil haben sein Leben und seine Musik in den letzten vier Jahren verändert. Sein neues Album ist deshalb eine wichtige Botschaft - und sein Instrument ein Beweis dafür, dass der Dialog zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, zwischen Ost und West gelingen kann. Die beiden Griffbretter seiner Gitarre ermöglichen ein Wechselspiel zwischen iranischer Klangtradition und westlicher Harmonik - und sind zugleich ein Symbol für kulturelle Verständigung. Das Album „Unspoken“ erzählt von Austausch und Empathie und wartet mit einer Starbesetzung auf: dem klassischen Cellisten Kian Soltani, dem schwedischen Jazzbassisten Lars Danielsson und der Musikerin Golnar Shahyar. „Der Jazz braucht genau jetzt Menschen wie Mahan Mirarab“ - meint unsere Jazzkritikerin Fanny Opitz: „Musiker, die uns verantwortungsvoll ins Gedächtnis rufen, worum es eigentlich geht. Um ein Miteinander jenseits kultureller Unterschiede.“

“I just felt like the uterus that I had was a problem, and I wanted it out right away."At 38 years old, Tonda Thompson faced an issue that impacts many women: fibroids. For many months, they caused the mother of two pain and confusion. She said frequent trips to the emergency room and eventually demanding an ultrasound led to doctors finding several of the growths in her body, including one about the size of an apple. The medical condition affects more than 70% of women before the age of 50, with Black women at an even higher risk. The cause is unknown, but experts believe genetics, and race, play a role.In March, actress and advocate Lupita Nyong'o shared she lives with more than 50 fibroids in her body, even after surgery to have dozens removed. In this episode, Thompson recalls her experience and her treatment decision.To learn more about fibroids, click here.#####Host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the generous support of our members.

Discover the unspoken rules of branding season etiquette every ranch hand should know, from proper cattle handling to respecting the crew. Plus the story of an Idaho hunter who survived a grizzly bear charge while protecting himself and his young son. Follow along and start cooking outdoors with confidence. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why Branding Etiquette Matters on the Ranch Branding season is one of the busiest and most important times of the year in cattle country. It's where long days, hard work, and tradition all meet in the branding pen. Whether you grew up ranching or you're showing up to help neighbors for the first time, knowing the unspoken rules matters. Good etiquette keeps the crew safe, the cattle handled properly, and the day moving smoothly. Respect still goes a long way in cowboy culture. The Unspoken Rules of Branding Season Don't Ride in Front of the Boss Every ranch has a flow and leadership structure. Cutting in front of the ranch owner or lead rider is seen as disrespectful and disruptive to the cattle. Only Come if You Were Invited Brandings are community events, but they're still working operations. Showing up uninvited can create unnecessary confusion, safety concerns, and extra mouths to feed. Do the Job You're Assigned Not everyone ropes calves. Not everyone runs the branding irons. The Ranch Boss will place people where they're needed most. A good hand works where asked without complaint. Drag Calves Properly Never drag calves above the hock and/or drag by one leg. Learn How to Vaccinate Correctly Giving vaccines improperly can injure cattle and reduce effectiveness. If you don't know, ask someone experienced. Secondly, if multiple vaccines are being given - work as a team to understand for example who is going high or low on the neck. Leave the Dogs at Home Even well-trained dogs can create problems in a crowded branding pen. Extra animals increase stress on cattle and distract working horses. No Loping in the Pen A branding pen is tight, crowded, and dangerous. Moving too fast puts horses, riders, calves, and ground crews at risk. Let the Crew Handle the Roping Every ranch has trusted ropers who know the cattle and understand the pace of the operation. Unless asked, don't ride into the roping pen. Learn How to Wrestle Calves Roping is only part of the job. Good calf wrestlers are valuable because they know how to control calves safely and efficiently. Ask to be shown how, everyone is always happy to teach. Always Be Aware of Your Surroundings Brandings move fast. Horses, ropes, cattle, gates, and people are all moving at once. Situational awareness keeps everyone safer. Thank The Cooks and the Ranch Boss Events like a branding are a lot of work to host. From cooking for large crews with weather unknowns to leading the branding crew, be courteous and always thank the hosts for allowing you to be a part of the western way of life few have the chance to experience! Tradition, Respect, and Ranch Culture Branding season is about more than cattle work. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, preserving ranch traditions, and earning respect through hard work and awareness. The best ranch hands are usually the ones who stay humble, pay attention, and understand that cowboy etiquette is still very much alive. Hunter Survives Grizzly Charge in Idaho Forest An Idaho hunter shot and killed a charging grizzly bear after officials say the animal rushed toward him and his young son in a remote area near Yellowstone National Park. Wildlife investigators determined the man acted in self-defense and will not face charges. The encounter happened the evening of Saturday, May 16, 2026 in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest while the pair were hunting black bears near Cave Falls Road. According to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the grizzly crossed a meadow, caught the hunters' scent, and suddenly turned toward them. Officials say the hunters tried to alert the bear to their presence, but it charged anyway. The man first fired a handgun, then switched to his rifle and killed the bear only about five yards away. The hunter later contacted the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, which notified state wildlife officers. After investigating, officials concluded the shooting was justified because the bear posed an immediate threat to the man and his son. Grizzly bears remain protected under both state and federal law, meaning they can only legally be killed in situations involving defense of human life. The incident comes just weeks after another grizzly attack inside Yellowstone National Park, where two brothers were injured while hiking near Old Faithful. Both survived after being rescued and flown out by helicopter. Wildlife officials are reminding hunters and hikers in grizzly country to carry bear spray, travel with partners, make noise in dense areas, and stay alert for fresh bear tracks or signs.

Why More Couples Are Walking Away Later in Life   Welcome back to Geordie Lass & Doc Sass. This week, we're doing something a little different… and a little special. Not only is this one of our feature-length deep-dive episodes, it's also our first video podcast episode (yes, our actual faces). We will be launching this new channel soon.    And for this special, we're unpacking a topic that is quietly becoming more common: Why are more couples walking away later in life? Often called grey divorce, we explore why more people in their 50s, 60s and beyond are questioning long-term relationships, what's driving that shift, and whether ending a marriage is always the answer or, whether there may still be room for repair. Ssometimes it's not really about the dishwasher, the clutter on the stairs, or the small everyday frustrations. Often, it's about something deeper. Disconnection. Identity. Change. Loneliness. Fear. Reinvention. Unspoken resentment. Hope.   In this episode we chat about:

Send us Fan MailOn this episode, I'm joined by Aaron Bates, Head of Bernstein's Ultra-High-Net-Worth practice. We discuss some of the key findings from his team's recent research study on how families think about wealth, as well as some of the more emotionally charged issues for wealthy families. Aaron discusses what he learned from speaking directly with UHNW families through the extensive research process. He shares how the desire and need for financial privacy can lead to a feeling of isolation; how a liquidity event or transaction can create questions around identity; as well as how to talk about money with the next generation.Any questions or comments, or to discuss your own financial situation, I can be reached at marc.penziner@bernstein.com or 212-969-6655.The information presented and opinions expressed are solely the views of the podcast host commentator and their guest speaker(s).  AllianceBernstein L.P. or its affiliates makes no representations or warranties concerning the accuracy of any data.

There are rules in your relationships you never agreed to. Who calls first. Who apologizes. Who does the emotional labor. Nobody wrote them down. But you've been following them for years. And maybe it's time to renegotiate. Join me as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.

Are you stuck in a cycle of giving too much—or never quite feeling your needs are met—in your relationships? So many of us find ourselves trapped in unspoken agreements, repeating old patterns of imbalance, and wondering why our closest connections leave us feeling depleted and resentful. It's all too easy to slip into roles and routines that quietly erode intimacy, joy, and our sense of self. In this episode, listeners will discover the underlying dynamics of these "relationship contracts" and how they silently shape the balance (or imbalance) in our partnerships and friendships. Through insightful discussion, practical examples, and actionable tools, the conversation explores how to raise awareness of hidden patterns, reclaim personal agency, and foster healthier, more reciprocal connections—all while learning to have empowered conversations that turn resentment into collaboration and lasting growth.

Ask yourself if your concern is a fundamental need or simply a preference before addressing it with your partner. Acknowledge the ways you have participated or co-created the current dynamic before approaching the other person. Choose a time when both parties are calm and receptive to discuss the issue, beginning by seeking consent for the conversation. Use neutral language to share your observations and feelings about the dynamic and avoid accusatory statements. Articulate exactly what you would like to change and how you would like it to look, so your partner understands what you need. Invite your partner to share their perspective or any adjustments they'd need to fulfill the new agreement, fostering a sense of co-creation. Observe whether your partner is both willing and able to make the necessary changes; if not, consider what choices and boundaries may be needed for your well-being.   Mentioned Made for Magic (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Alison Armstrong ERP 056: Secrets To Sex Even When No One Is In The Mood With Alison Armstrong Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free guide)   Connect with Elizabeth Webb Website: PositivelyElizabeth.com Instagram: instagram.com/positivelyelizabeth  

"When I train candidates I always say start with Freud, learn the interpersonalist, learn the object relations folks, know from what you come, even if you want to be a radical interpersonalist, a radical relationalist, because having that stuff in your back pocket is organizing and creates an ideal to which you can aspire or choose not to follow, but at least you'll know what you're not following. My perspective on this stuff really comes from the idea that before we are free to break the rules, we need to know what the rules are and we need to be well grounded in them." Episode Description: We begin by appreciating the evolution of some fundamental practices in psychoanalysis. We consider the meanings of 'rules' and 'guidelines'. Joyce shares with us her current thinking on answering patients' questions – for some, it's helpful, for others, not. We discuss the use of the word 'fantasy' with patients as contrasted with 'guesses' or 'imaginings'. Joyce considers the many ways that patients terminate their treatments and how frequently it does not accord with traditional models of ending. We consider reluctance to leave the treatment relationship from both sides of the couch – analysts, too, have needs satisfied in this work and can play a part in the nature of the ending. Joyce relates how some former patients remain in contact with their analysts, and that isn't necessarily problematic.  For others, "being able to 'go it alone' represents an extraordinary achievement." She concludes that "termination remains an ideal worth holding onto. But loosely."   Our Guests: Joyce Slochower, Ph.D., ABPP, is Professor Emerita of Psychology at Hunter College & the Graduate Center, CUNY.  Joyce is faculty and supervisor at the NYU Postdoctoral Program, the Steven Mitchell Center, the National Training Program of NIP (all in New York), the Philadelphia Center for Relational Studies in Philadelphia, and the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California in San Francisco. She has written Holding and Psychoanalysis: A Relational Perspective (1996) and Psychoanalytic Collisions (2006). She is co-Editor, with Lew Aron and Sue Grand, De-idealizing relational theory: a Critique from within and Decentering Relational Theory: A Comparative Critique (2018), both of which received the Gradiva award in 2019.

Send us Fan MailResentment doesn't arrive all at once. It builds slowly, quietly, through a thousand small moments where you said yes when you meant no, where you kept going when you needed to stop, where you waited for someone to notice something you never actually said out loud.Join Anna and Tim as they dig into one of the most common and least talked about emotions in relationships, families, and workplaces. They get into where resentment really comes from, why high-functioning women are especially prone to it, and what's actually happening when the anger finally surfaces.This Episode Covers:Why resentment builds in silence and what keeps it growing under the surface.The difference between direct anger and the colder, score-keeping kind.How overgiving can come from anxiety and approval-seeking, not just generosity.Unspoken expectations and why you're grading people on a rubric they never saw.The gap between capability and capacity, and why being able to carry it all doesn't mean you should.What self-abandonment actually looks like and why no one is coming to rescue you from a dynamic you keep participating in.How resentment leaks out sideways when it never gets said directly.Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.Mad love!Book a Discovery Call for Coaching/Therapy: https://calendly.com/badassconfidencecoach/coachingThe podcast is now on YouTube!

There are major gaps in pregnancy and postpartum fitness—and moms are the ones paying the price.Too many women are left piecing together random workouts, avoiding exercises out of fear, or feeling completely lost after being “cleared” postpartum with no real guidance on what to do next. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing the “right” workouts during pregnancy or postpartum, you're not alone. And more importantly—you are not the problem.In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest gaps in pregnancy and postpartum fitness: the lack of intentional programming during pregnancy, outdated and fear-based advice, the absence of real postpartum support, and the massive “now what?” phase moms experience months (and even years) after birth. We'll also talk about what moms actually need instead to support their body at every stage. If you're tired of guessing and ready for a smarter, more supportive approach to fitness in motherhood, this episode is for you.[NOW OPEN] Built For Motherhood Fitness Membership for pregnancy, postpartum, and busy moms. With structured programs, clear guidance, and coaching support we'll take the guesswork out of exercise so you can feel confident and strong.Say hello over on Instagram.Learn more about my work on my website.

Today's show is your teachable moment as to why the Republicans fail to deliver. It's not because they lack the numbers or phase external obstruction; it's that they have perverse priorities but deftly fool their voters. If you want to know why the political system feels completely broken, look no further than supermajority red states. I explain how establishment Republicans and unvetted primary endorsements are creating a "Trojan horse GOP" that achieves more for the Left than Democrats ever could. Later on, I'm joined by Oklahoma state Rep. Jim Shaw (R) — a true conservative currently facing a uniparty primary challenge. We pull back the curtain on what's really happening in deep-red America. Instead of passing legislation to secure the border, restrict abortion access, or protect citizens from the massive land grabs of wind farms and data centers, establishment Republicans are actively fighting conservatives and pushing radical agendas like the legalization of "human composting."

What you refuse to address will eventually control the room. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down one of the most dangerous problems inside growing businesses: unspoken resentment. Most leaders avoid hard conversations because they think they are protecting the peace. But silence does not create peace. It creates confusion. It creates distance. It creates tension that quietly slows everything down. When issues are not addressed, standards begin to slip. When feedback is delayed, small problems become major obstacles. And when leaders tolerate poor execution, the team starts to believe mediocrity is acceptable. The truth is simple: What you tolerate, you encourage. Paul explains why direct communication is not about being aggressive. It is about being clear, honest, and committed to building a culture where people know exactly where they stand. In this episode, you'll learn: Why avoiding hard conversations weakens your leadership How bottled resentment drains energy and slows execution Why delayed feedback turns small issues into bigger problems How radical transparency creates stronger teams and faster results Great leaders do not let tension build in silence. They address the issue, communicate clearly, and move forward with standards intact. Because the conversations you avoid today become the problems you are forced to deal with tomorrow.

Trust rarely disappears in one dramatic moment… More often, it fades slowly. A little distance. A hard conversation was avoided. A promise not followed through on. Unspoken resentment is quietly building. Until one day…What once felt easy starts to feel fragile.   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we break down how trust is actually lost… and how it can be rebuilt through safety, transparency, repair, and consistency. They share real-life examples from their own relationship, common patterns couples fall into, and the practical shifts that restore connection without needing to start over.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why trust usually fades through small moments — not one massive betrayal Why safety comes before honesty, and how nervous systems shut down when truth feels unsafe How transparency builds trust faster than perfection What are the “micro betrayals” that quietly erode connection every day Why healthy couples aren't conflict-free… they're repair-rich How trust can be rebuilt through consistency, presence, and honest communication   You don't need to start over. You may need to change the direction of the pattern. When safety returns…truth becomes easier…repair gets faster…and trust grows stronger than before.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Kristina and Erin, a married couple who have been together for 10 years, raising two children in Toronto. They make good money, but they have no system for their finances, which has led to years of avoidance. They've accumulated $106K in debt and have only two weeks of savings. While Erin, the "stable one," has a full-time job, Kristina's entrepreneurial journey has been marked by wildly inconsistent income, including a $50K loss on NFTs. They both admit they don't trust each other or themselves with money. Ramit helps them confront their fears, redefine their relationship with money, and finally start working as a team. In this episode we uncover: • How Kristina lost $50K in NFTs • Why Erin struggles with "spending with emotion" • The cultural component of their Catholic guilt around money • How their childhood experiences influence their money habits • Kristina's fear that her income won't last • The surprising truth about their combined income • Why they avoid tracking their spending • Their identity as "coach collectors" who avoid real change • Ramit's "60-second truth-telling" exercise • Why they need to be aligned as partners to achieve their goals • The true cost of credit card debt • Why their "guilt-free" spending is holding them back • Ramit's radical advice on cutting fixed costs • How they can quickly pay off their debt Chapters: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:40) Feeling stupid about money (00:05:23) Unspoken financial conversations (00:08:44) Fear that money won't last (00:09:25) Lack of trust around money (00:15:16) Emotional spending and guilt (00:19:55) The surprising truth about their net worth (00:22:52) The impact of high fixed costs (00:27:00) "We work too hard to feel like we don't have anything" (00:30:45) Why past coaching failed (00:34:54) Childhood money lessons and scarcity (00:41:46) The impact of Catholic guilt (00:49:30) Goals for debt and savings (00:54:30) Ramit's 60-second truth-telling (00:58:33) Fixing the Conscious Spending Plan (01:07:07) Aligning on a Rich Life together (01:17:35) How Kristina and Erin are going to get on the same page (01:21:40) Why they're afraid to talk about money with their kids This episode is brought to you by: DeleteMe | Get 20% off all consumer plans when you go to https://joindeleteme.com/ramit and use promo code RAMIT at checkout Shopify | Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at https://shopify.com/ramit LMNT | Get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order at https://drinklmnt.com/RAMIT Superhuman Mail | Turn your inbox into momentum.

I spent years believing my standards were simply part of who I was, quietly upheld and best left unspoken. Yet what I uncovered was far less comfortable; many of them were shaped by a need for approval rather than genuine choice. We introverts can fall into the trap of assuming others will just know what good looks like, while we quietly measure them against invisible expectations. That is not fairness, but misalignment waiting to happen. In this episode, I challenge the idea that staying low maintenance is helpful, and ask you to consider what your silence might actually be costing you and others. Because when we explain our standards with clarity and conviction, we create the conditions for trust, respect, and far better outcomes.

Faith has shaped our nation's moral imagination in profound and sometimes complicated ways. Christians are called to reflect honestly on both the Church's failures and the broken places in our own lives. Christian apologist Lisa Fields explores how prayer and lament help believers engage these realities, particularly as we mark our nation's 250th anniversary.    Lisa Fields is a speaker, author and film producer whose work sits at the intersection of faith, history and culture. Her documentaries include Juneteenth: Faith and Freedom, created with Our Daily Bread and featured on PBS, and Unspoken, which explores the Christian heritage of Africa and people of African descent.   You will hear Walter and Lisa discuss:  How prayer, lament and repentance have shaped key moments in America's spiritual and moral history; How these practices help believers confront painful truths and form a faithful moral conscience; and How younger believers' questions about race, justice and history invite honest, gospel-rooted engagement.  This conversation invites us to embody an incarnational witness of humility, healing and peace as we discern where God is calling us toward deeper integrity and gospel-shaped hope in our communities.  Subscribe today wherever you listen to podcasts.  Do you like the podcast?  Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and leave us a review.

Guest Carol Tyler, known for her beautifully written and drawn autobiographical comics, is one of the most important and influential comics artists ever. In July 2026, she will be inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame at Comic-Con. Her books are: Soldier's Heart: The Campaign to Understand my WWII Veteran Father (2015), and Fab4 Mania: A Beatles Obsession and the Concert of a Lifetime (2018). Her current book is in two parts: The Ephemerata, Shaping the Exquisite Nature of Grief, September 2025. Part II Verdante, The Ephemerata Goes Home, due in 2026. Summary In this conversation, Carol Tyler discusses her graphic memoir Soldier's Heart, a deeply personal work that blends visual storytelling with narrative to explore her father's World War II experiences and their lasting impact on her family. She explains that graphic memoir is not simply illustrated text but a deliberate interplay between words and images, where each medium carries distinct emotional and informational weight. Tyler developed a unique visual language—through color palettes, panel styles, and composition—to distinguish timelines, perspectives, and emotional states. The project began when her father, late in life, unexpectedly opened up about his wartime experiences, prompting Tyler to document his stories through recorded interviews. These revelations coincided with crises in her own family, including her mother's stroke, her daughter's mental health struggles, and strain in her marriage. As a result, the memoir evolved into a broader exploration of intergenerational trauma, linking her father's unprocessed war experiences—what might now be recognized as PTSD—to patterns of anxiety, depression, and OCD across generations. Tyler reflects on how World War II shaped not only individual veterans but an entire culture, influencing family dynamics, gender roles, and societal behavior in the decades that followed. While the book brought some understanding and partial reconciliation, her relationship with her father remained complex, especially as he aged and regressed emotionally. Ultimately, the memoir serves as both historical preservation and personal reckoning, capturing stories that might otherwise have been lost. A key reflection Unprocessed trauma—especially from war—doesn't end with the individual; it reverberates across generations, shaping families, relationships, and even culture in ways that often remain unseen until deliberately examined.

What if the stress you're feeling with clients or your team isn't actually about what they're doing, but about what you expect them to do without ever saying it? In this episode, I introduce the concept of manuals, those unwritten operating rules you have for other people, and how they quietly create frustration, miscommunication, and emotional friction in your interior design business.       I walk you through what manuals are, how to spot them, and why they lead to disappointment when they go unspoken. You'll learn how these hidden expectations show up in your relationships with clients, team members, and partners, and why relying on others to meet them keeps you stuck in frustration. I also share a simple exercise to help you identify your own manuals and begin releasing the ones that are no longer serving you.       Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/167        If you love what you're learning on the show, and want to learn how I can support you, click here to learn more about coaching: https://desicreswell.com/coaching        Sign up for my Monday Mindset email list to get bite-sized insights on topics that you can use to set your week up for success: https://www.desicreswell.com/monday-mindset     Follow along or send me a message on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desicreswell/
