From beer to gin, from caffeine to tobacco, from mushrooms to hallucinogenic snails, a culture's options for achieving altered states of consciousness through consumables are vast! So when the people in your culture want to get blitzed -- How do they achieve that? The choices can communicate a lot to your readers about your world's technology, climate, and topography, as well as their ideas about health. Alcohol and other intoxicants also tend to accumulate lots of social apparatus around them. Unspoken rules might dictate when it's okay to get intentionally impaired and when it's unacceptable, or what forms of booze are considered high-class or low-class; actual laws might regulate both creation and consumption. You can also explore why your people partake of such things: Just for fun? Are there religious associations, like offering libations to a god or putting a prophet into a trance state? Do they think that inhaling ash is good for them? As always, we advocate both doing the research and looking for creative choices! Can you give your culture a unique intoxicant of some kind? In this episode, we also take a moment to practice what we preach and discuss the inebriating habits of the cultures in our co-built world! [Transcript for Episode 165 TK]
Episode 279 of The Business Development Podcast, The 10 Unspoken Laws of Trust, dives deep into the unseen foundation behind every successful relationship, deal, and opportunity: trust. Kelly explores how trust shapes human behavior, why it's not automatic despite being essential to society, and the ten unspoken laws that quietly govern how we build and maintain it. From honesty and reciprocity to fairness, accountability, and transparency, this episode uncovers the hidden social and biological frameworks that make trust the cornerstone of business and life.In the second half, Kelly breaks down how to intentionally build trust in business development using five powerful steps rooted in human psychology. He explains how safety, consistency, competence, empathy, and follow-through work together to calm the brain's natural defense system and open the door to real connection. The result is a masterclass on transforming reliability into loyalty — and why, in a world full of noise, predictability and authenticity are the ultimate business advantage.Key Takeaways: 1. Trust is the silent force that drives every deal, relationship, and opportunity in business development—it's the real currency behind every transaction.2. Society relies on trust to function, but it's not automatic because our biology evolved to protect us before it connects us.3. Words and promises form the foundation of trust; when they're broken, the entire system of communication and reliability collapses.4. Fairness, accountability, and reciprocity are natural laws of trust that make cooperation possible and keep relationships stable.5. Predictability is the cornerstone of trust—when people know what to expect, their fear response quiets and loyalty forms.6. Transparency builds safety; secrecy breeds suspicion. Sharing your process and progress openly earns long-term confidence.7. Reputation is trust's shortcut—each fulfilled promise becomes proof of credibility and a signal to others that you're dependable.8. Trust isn't built on perfection, but on consistency; reliability over time is what transforms confidence into loyalty.9. To earn trust faster, focus on emotional safety, consistency, competence, empathy, and follow-through in every interaction.10. The goal of business development isn't to persuade—it's to help the human nervous system decide, “I'm safe with you,” because that's when opportunity.

A direct conversation on what happens after war ends and the mind keeps fighting. U.S. Army veteran Donald Dunn (68 months deployed across Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan) breaks down survivor's guilt, depression, isolation, and why documenting your story can be a turning point. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life with host Avik, we discuss his books Echoes of War and When Demons Followed Me Home, the mission behind Veteran Voice Radio and Spirits & Stories, and practical ways families can understand invisible wounds. Straight talk for veterans, families, therapists, and anyone navigating trauma. About the Guest : Donald Dunn is a decorated U.S. Army veteran, author of Echoes of War, creator behind Veteran Voice Radio and Spirits & Stories, and founder of Barracks Media. His upcoming book When Demons Followed Me Home uses metaphor to make hidden injuries visible. Key Takeaways: Coming home was harder than combat; the “real war” began after the uniform. Survivor's guilt (loss of friends on June 28, 2005) shifted deployments from “job” to life-or-death reality. Unspoken trauma erodes family bonds; silence created distance with spouse and children. Isolation disguised as work (long-haul trucking) intensified depression. A breaking point at home signaled it was time to seek professional help. Writing first for family (not publication) enabled honesty without interruption or judgment. Putting feelings into words creates third-person perspective and emotional regulation. Repeatedly telling the story reduces reactivity; you still feel, but you gain control. Healing requires responsibility and amends for harm done during depressive or addictive periods. The “demons” in his new book are metaphors—making homelessness, addiction, and rage legible to non-traumatized readers. .

If your business feels heavy—even though everything “looks” successful—you're not broken, you're just out of sync with your own evolution. In this solo episode, I dive into what I call unspoken burnout—the quiet misalignment that happens when your brand and messaging are still built around a past version of you. I unpack the three identity stages—former self, working self, and highest self—and explain how “identity lag” can leave your content dull, your launches uninspired, and your energy drained. I'll show you how to recalibrate your business so it reflects who you are now, not who you used to be, and why serving from your highest identity attracts and activates the clients you're truly meant for. If you're ready to stop over-explaining, start embodying, and let your presence do the leading, this episode is your invitation to realign and rise. Liked this episode?

You are just out of sync with the evolution that you are currently on.” - Julie Solomon “ I wanna ask you very gently, but very clearly, who is your current business still built around? Are you speaking from the version of you who once needed to prove, or the version who's already integrated, grounded, and ready to lead?” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES:
In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and founder of Men's Therapy Online, for a raw and powerful conversation about the struggles men face during and after divorce. Too often, men are left to navigate their grief alone—raised to be stoic, self-sufficient, and emotionally guarded. But when divorce shatters their world, the quiet reckoning sets in. Identity collapses. Numbness and rage surface. Disbelief lingers. Many men find themselves staring at the wreckage of what used to be, barely recognizing who they are anymore. Marc and I explore what it really takes for men to move through this kind of pain and begin rebuilding their lives. We talk about the collapse of identity after divorce, the hidden cost of traditional masculinity, and why community, mentorship, and ritual are essential for healing. Marc offers practical guidance for finding structure and meaning again, navigating co-parenting while hurting, and stepping back into dating without the masks that keep men disconnected from their truth. He also shares the deeper practices that help men reclaim themselves and rise stronger—on their terms. Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CGP, ACS, is the founder of Men's Therapy Online, a groundbreaking healing community that combines psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and Buddhism. His work—whether through group counseling, individual therapy, or wilderness retreats—creates safe spaces where men can confront their grief, break down unconscious barriers, and discover the man they were always meant to be. If you are a man navigating the grief of divorce and searching for clarity, brotherhood, and strength, this episode will offer both insight and a path forward.

You know, we often talk about company culture like it's this one big, unified thing. But the reality inside most organizations is way more nuanced. Sometimes, what you feel in one team is completely different from what you'd experience in another, even though they're technically part of the same company. That's where the idea of micro-culture becomes really interesting—and honestly, really important. So, to dive deeper into this, I'm really excited because today we have with us Rashi Ramani, Head of Human Resources at Care Insurance. She's someone who has seen these dynamics play out firsthand, and I think her perspective on how micro-cultures form, evolve, and even sometimes turn toxic is going to be super insightful.

Shawn Dsouza: The Database Migration Disaster— Why Software Development Teams Need Psychological Safety Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Shawn worked with a skilled team migrating a database from local to cloud-based systems, supported by a strong Product Owner. Despite surface-level success in ceremonies, he noticed the team avoided discussing difficult topics. After three months of seemingly smooth progress, they delivered to pre-production only to discover 140 critical issues. The root cause? Unspoken disagreements and tensions that festered beneath polite ceremony facades. The situation deteriorated to the point where a senior engineer quit, teaching Shawn that pausing to address underlying issues doesn't cost time—it builds sustainability. In this segment, we refer to the episodes with Mahesh Jade, a previous guest on the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast. Featured Book of the Week: The Advice Trap by Michael Bungay Stanier Shawn discovered this transformative book when he realized he was talking too much in team meetings despite wanting to add value. The Advice Trap revealed how his instinct to give advice, though well-intentioned, was actually self-defeating. The book taught him to stay curious longer and ask better questions rather than rushing to provide solutions. As Shawn puts it, "The minute you think you have the answer you stop listening"—a lesson that fundamentally changed his coaching approach and helped him become more effective with his teams. Self-reflection Question: When working with teams, do you find yourself jumping to advice-giving mode, or do you stay curious long enough to truly understand the underlying challenges?

Corey Micciolo was a 6-year-old boy from New Jersey who was killed by his father, Christopher Gregor, in April 2021.

In this episode, I discuss our deep need to be right as women and how that causes us to constantly "womansplain" to our husbands.
In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Nathalie Martinek, a former developmental biologist turned expert on narcissism and toxic workplace dynamics. We delve into the complexities of interpersonal narcissism, exploring how our behaviors often stem from a desire to preserve our ideal self-image. Nathalie shares her journey from the world of science to understanding human behavior, highlighting the parallels between toxic workplace cultures and the biological concepts she once studied.We discuss the often-overlooked role of envy in our interactions, particularly in professional settings. Nathalie emphasizes that envy is a natural human emotion, but it can lead to destructive behaviors when we allow it to dictate our perceptions of others. We explore how feelings of inferiority can trigger envy, prompting us to undermine those we perceive as superior. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with envy and shame, encouraging a deeper understanding of how these emotions influence our relationships.Throughout our discussion, we aim to answer critical questions: How do cultural differences shape our perceptions of self and others? What role does shame play in our interactions? And how can we cultivate a healthier relationship with our emotions to foster more authentic connections?

Audie stopped by to tell some stories and talk about Unspoken Tradition
This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a hard look at the role alcohol still plays (Amazon Affiliate) in first responder culture. For generations, the badge and the bottle have been intertwined—used to unwind, to bond, and, for some, to bury the weight of the job. We explore why alcohol remains an unspoken coping mechanism, how it impacts personal and professional lives, and what it takes to break free from cycles of silent self-medication. The Cultural Legacy of Alcohol in Service: Why drinking has long been normalized in first responder circles. The “work hard, play hard” mentality and how it perpetuates risky habits. The Fine Line Between Social and Self-Medication: How occasional drinks can shift into dependency without realizing it. The difference between relaxation and numbing out. Signs Alcohol Is Becoming a Problem: Red flags that often go unnoticed—or are brushed off—in responder culture. How high-functioning dependency hides in plain sight. The Impact on Relationships and Performance: Why substance reliance affects emotional regulation, decision-making, and intimacy. How alcohol-related issues can put careers and families at risk. The Role of Peer Influence and Stigma: How fear of judgment or isolation keeps people from seeking help. The unspoken pressure to join in to “fit in.” Strategies to Break the Cycle: Audit Your Habits: Track how often and why you're drinking to gain clarity on patterns. Replace Rituals, Not Just the Drink: Find healthier ways to decompress and bond that still meet the same needs. Seek Support Early: Connect with confidential peer support programs or counseling before it becomes a crisis. Shift the Culture Through Leadership: Leaders setting examples by promoting sober or low-alcohol events. Prioritize Emotional Tools Over Liquid Ones: Build coping skills that can handle stress without relying on alcohol. In this episode, we challenge the silence around alcohol in first responder life—and offer practical steps to protect your health, relationships, and career.

Real Life Runners I Tying Running and Health into a Family-Centered Life
In this week's solo episode, I'm diving into a concept that doesn't always get the spotlight it deserves—integrity. Not just in the big, moral sense we usually think of, but in the everyday choices we make as runners and humans.At a recent business retreat, I had some big “aha” moments about how keeping (or breaking) small promises to myself connects directly to integrity. And honestly? I realized I had some breakdowns in this area that were holding me back. Maybe you've felt that too.Here's the truth: integrity is the foundation for progress. When we follow through on the little things—showing up for an easy run, fueling well, going to bed on time—it builds trust with ourselves. That trust turns into momentum, which turns into results.In this episode, I'll share: ✨ Why integrity is so much more than just “doing the right thing.” ✨ How those tiny promises we make (and often dismiss) are shaping our running journey. ✨ My own struggles with integrity and what I've learned from them. ✨ Practical ways to strengthen integrity—like practicing radical awareness, starting small, and quickly recommitting when you fall off track. ✨ How to celebrate the wins (big and small) while still being honest about where you need to grow.My hope is that this conversation helps you see integrity not as pressure or perfection, but as an empowering tool you can use to create the results you want—both on the run and in your life.Because when you live and run with integrity, you build confidence, consistency, and joy that lasts.

The MAC Effect bring's yet again, another great episode!! “Honesty vs Transparency” Why this topic?? Because the MAC Effect speaks the unspoken, brings light to darkness and doesn't allow for you or himself to stay the same. Growth and development only happen when you challenge and honestly only the brave accept the challenge. It's easy to never speak the unspoken, it's easy to hide, just be “honest” and not share the details of the ugly. It's easy to blame others. But you know what's not easy, standing up for what is right, standing up for love even when it will hurt you but you care more about the other person. Transparency means you will allow light thru you so that the object behind you gets seen!!! And the object will be the hearts of your loved ones. If you have secrets from your partner, if you keep a separate bank account, if you dont allow that loved one near your heart with all the good, bad and ugly, you are not allowing God to work his full potential in our life. I challenge you to love like never before, give your all to your partner, your kids, risk it… no plan B. It's scary, but well worth it… the payout of peace, abundance and love !!! So soooooo worth it. Grab yor popcorn, your coffee, listen while driving, hear it in the shower, but take your sweet time to enjoy what will benefit you!! Leeeeettttsssss Goooooooooooooo! Any questions you may have for myself or cohost, please ask, reach out… (just ask) My email is Themaceffect19@gmail.com for all questions and inquiries. I promise you this will bless you. How do I know, because God's word is never void.

Welcome to the Heal and Restore Podcast with Randy and Cathy Boyd—where we dive into real conversations that help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships.In today's practical and heartfelt episode, we're talking about “Unspoken Expectations: How Hidden Assumptions Hurt Marriages.”Every couple carries expectations into marriage—but not every couple speaks them out loud. Too often, we assume our spouse “should just know,” and when those unspoken assumptions aren't met, they turn into disappointment, frustration, or even resentment. The truth is, it's not always the expectations themselves that hurt us—it's the silence around them.We'll unpack how hidden assumptions quietly chip away at connection, why they so often go unnoticed, and how learning to express them openly can protect trust and intimacy. More importantly, we'll share faith-rooted tools you can start using today to communicate expectations with clarity, listen with empathy, and move toward agreement instead of frustration.If you've ever felt let down because your spouse didn't do what you “thought they would,” or you've struggled with resentment over unmet needs, this episode is for you.If it speaks to your heart, we invite you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's ready to strengthen their marriage.Love grows in the light—so let's bring our expectations out of hiding and build a stronger foundation together.

What if the questions that keep looping in your mind, the ones you're too ashamed or exhausted to voice, aren't just valid, but shared by thousands of others going through betrayal? In this second part of our Q&A series (Listen to episode 146 for the first part), I answer the raw, unfiltered questions that most people keep buried: Why do I feel ashamed in public, even though I did nothing wrong? Why does forgiveness feel like betrayal? How do I stay emotionally present for my children when I'm falling apart? Is it normal to feel like I'm becoming someone I don't even like? Why do I keep replaying arguments in my head? How do I let go of the life I thought I'd have? Whether you're early in your healing or quietly carrying it years later, this episode offers grounded insight and compassionate reminders: You're not broken. You're not alone. And you don't have to heal perfectly to heal powerfully. Key Takeaways: Shame after betrayal often lands on the wrong person … you. Social spaces can feel like minefields, but you are allowed to take up space, even in your pain. Forgiveness is not about erasing your experience. It's not a betrayal of self; it's a release of emotional tension, done on your timeline. Your children don't need perfection; they need presence. Emotional honesty and repair do more than false composure ever could. You're not becoming a worse version of yourself. You're adapting. And healing means reconnecting with the person you're becoming, not rushing to return to who you were. Unspoken arguments linger for a reason. The unsaid words still matter, even if you only say them to yourself. Letting go of the old life is not failure. It's a sacred grief, and a quiet invitation into something new.

So, I just want to say upfront — this is one of those conversations that really stays with you. Today I'm talking to the brilliant Helen Kirwan-Taylor, who honestly blew me away with how open, and completely unfiltered she is about trauma — real trauma. Helen lost her sister in an unimaginably tragic way when she was 12, and we talk about what happens when no one around you talks about it, and you're just expected to get on with things — and how that silence seeps into everything: your body, your relationships, your anxiety, your ability to feel safe.What I found so powerful is how Helen challenges a lot of the current language around trauma — she talks about the difference between real, shattering trauma and what she sees as the overuse of the term in pop culture. But she also gets into what it actually looks like when your nervous system doesn't feel safe for years — the health stuff, the spirals, the coping. And she does it all with this really sharp, self-aware humour that just cuts through the heaviness. It's a big, honest conversation — and I'm really grateful she had it with me but a warning for anyone who may find references to murder, death and grief triggering as this might not be one for you.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Helen:Instagram: @helenkirwantaylor Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

In today's real-time coaching session, Christine works with Catherine, who is navigating a pivotal life decision about whether to continue a long-distance relationship that is heading toward a significant next step—or to step away. As someone who struggles with indecision and fears making the “wrong” choice, Catherine is looking for clarity, confidence, and security in her next steps. Through their conversation, Christine helps her uncover a powerful truth: clarity often comes after we take action, not before. What unfolds is a healing dialogue around people-pleasing, fear of mistakes, and the patterns that keep us disconnected from our intuition. Rather than rushing toward a binary decision, Catherine finds a third path—one rooted in authentic expression, boundaries, and self-trust. Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you often fear making the wrong decision, and delay choosing altogether? Have you historically prioritized others' needs over your own in relationships? Are you waiting for a sign instead of trusting your own intuition? What might shift if you gave yourself full permission to speak your truth? Key Insights & A-HAs: Indecisiveness isn't always resistance—it can be sacred space while we wait for the most aligned choice to emerge. The “right” decision isn't always black or white. Sometimes clarity reveals itself in a third, unexpected option. Unspoken needs can't be met. Self-expression is essential to healthy relationships. Even if a decision “doesn't work out,” it doesn't mean it was wrong—it was your classroom for growth. How to Deepen the Work: Journal on a time when your “mistake” led to unexpected growth. Practice speaking a boundary in a safe relationship—start small. Ask: What is my body telling me when I think about each possible choice? Instead of asking “What should I do?”, ask “What would feel most like self-honoring?” Free Masterclass: Fulfilled & Free (For Women) Are you a high-achieving woman who's done “everything right”—but still feels like something's missing?

392 Intention and Mindfulness In Conversation Inevitably we will have to confront the reality of how certain comments, remarks, and individuals make us feel, especially when it is in a negative way. Unspoken expectations lead to resentment, and if we do not have the hard conversations and practice curiosity and active listening we not only do a disservice to them but to ourselves as well. In this episode Sarah Elkins takes us on a hike with her dog Jocko, while teaching us the importance of mindfulness and intention in conversations, and how important it is we talk to and listen to people we want to maintain relationships with. Highlights Sharing things we enjoy with others. How do you approach conversations that involve or may lead to conflict? Knowing when, where, and how to start the hard conversations. Be mindful of your audience. Stay curious about someone's intentions and remember to actively listen. Quotes “Passive versus more direct approaches in having conversations, particularly in times when we feel like there is going to be conflict or we're addressing something that could create conflict.” “Anyone who has ever been in a long term relationship knows that timing is everything.” “It's all about Practice.” About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
Despite increased awareness of the importance of mental health, many men still hesitate to seek support. While they may appear to manage their mental health challenges well, statistics tell a different story.Several factors contribute to men's reluctance to pursue counseling, including cultural and societal norms, issues related to masculinity, and fear of the unknown. However, research shows that the benefits of talk therapy far outweigh the difficulties of dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, or depression on one's own.Going to therapy is much like going to the gym: to get stronger, individuals need a coach, commitment, and a bit of discomfort to maximize their goals.

This three-part series is an unprecedented investigation into their secretive fishing practices. The fleet is so gargantuan that even the Chinese government can't account for all its vessels. We do know it has hauled in more than 35 billion dollars worth of catch per year and has sold it across the globe — and yet, almost nothing was known about its practices. That is, until The Outlaw Ocean team started asking questions, and eventually managed to climb aboard a dozen Chinese vessels to investigate.Episode highlights: Nowhere is more difficult to report than China, and seafood is an unusually tough product to investigate. Host Ian Urbina explains the various reporting methods his team needed to employ over the course of four years to track how seafood gets from bait to plate.Right at the heart of this secretive supply chain, the team finds forced Uyghur labour, with the cascading effects of family separation, relocation and a plummeting birth rate. The international community has scrutinized China's human rights abuses against this predominantly Muslim ethnic minority, and specific laws were set up to protect them from exploitation – but the Uyghur people's role in seafood production was totally off the radar. In total, we identified forced Uyghur labour tied to seafood imported to more than twenty countries, including the U.S. and Canada. Urbina reflects on the many costs hidden along this complex supply chain, and the larger question: how have we allowed the seafood we eat to be so thoroughly co-mingled with environmental and human rights abuses? What is the true cost of the low prices we see on our seafood? And who's really paying for it?
