Our theme for this episode is “Untangling Our Knotted-Up Lives,” and our guest is the author and speaker Beth Moore. Drawing from her bestselling memoir, Beth helps us work through a challenge we all may face at various times: maintaining resilience — and faithfulness to our vocations — in the face of hardship:“I'd come to a point where I thought, oh my goodness, I see this. I get what Jesus is doing here, whatever it might be. I had this compelling to share it, and I have throughout my whole adult life.”This episode is drawn from an online conversation held in 2025. It'll give you a sense of what the Trinity Forum is about: a community of people renewing our culture by applying wisdom from the Christian tradition, and nurturing new growth in it, in our time.

Send us a textTake a moment to settle into yourself as this meditation guides you on a gentle journey of return and reclamation. When we've spent years confusing intensity with intimacy or mistaking pain for love, our internal compass can become miscalibrated. This meditation offers a path back to your true north.Through visualization of a soft golden light within your heart center, you'll reconnect with what love truly feels like—steady, safe, soft, and unconditional. The guided experience helps you identify and untangle energetic connections that have left you feeling depleted, confused, or stuck in unhealthy patterns. With each breath, you'll practice calling back your power, your voice, and every part of yourself that you've given away to survive relationships that didn't honor your wholeness.The meditation introduces powerful affirmations that help rewrite your understanding of love. "Real love is gentle. Real love respects my no. Real love doesn't require pain." These truths anchor into your being as you declare your unavailability for connections that wound you. Instead, you choose yourself—not from a place of selfishness but from deep self-respect and clarity.Whether you're healing from heartbreak, establishing boundaries in current relationships, or simply wanting to deepen your relationship with yourself, this meditation creates space for profound transformation. By the end, you'll return to your body feeling more centered, sovereign, and clear about the love you deserve.

Send us a textTrapped in a relationship that hurts you, yet you can't seem to leave? The powerful psychology of intermittent validation might explain why. Angela Meyer delves deep into this hidden mechanism behind trauma bonds, unpacking how sporadic affection and approval create addiction-like attachments in our brains.Discover why intermittent validation is so dangerously effective - it's the same variable reward system used in gambling and slot machines. When someone provides just enough love to keep you hooked but not enough to feel secure, your brain gets caught in a cycle of craving those unpredictable dopamine hits. This episode explains how this neurological trap works, affecting even those from healthy backgrounds, not just those with childhood trauma.Angela walks you through the telltale signs you're caught in this cycle: obsessing over good moments while excusing bad ones, constantly trying to earn affection, and feeling devastated by withdrawal. She maps out the typical progression from love bombing to devaluation, showing how victims gradually lose their sense of self. Most importantly, she offers concrete steps to break free, including creating distance, rebuilding identity, and practicing nervous system regulation techniques. Angela emphasizes that real love feels safe and consistent, not addictive or chaotic.Whether you're currently struggling in a toxic relationship or supporting someone who is, this episode provides crucial insights for recognizing and healing from trauma bonds. Share this episode with anyone who needs to understand why leaving harmful relationships feels impossibly difficult despite knowing something is wrong.

The SCO summit ended Monday with the Tianjin declaration which condemned Pahalgam & Jaffar express terror attacks. During his visit to China, PM Modi held crucial bilateral meetings with Xi Jinping & Putin. The bonhomie between Putin-Xi-Modi was on display with leaders holding hands, and the Russian President's car ride with PM Modi. Just hours after the meetings in China, Trump termed US-India trade a ‘one-sided disaster', and said that India has now offered to cut the tariffs to ‘nothing'. Tonight's #CutTheClutter with Shekhar Gupta untangles the geopolitical games— from China to Moscow, and explains where India stands.

In this episode, I unpack three big themes that show up again and again in spiritual work—judgment, discernment, and projection. We'll sort through what each one really means, why it matters, and how to catch yourself (and others) when old patterns sneak in.I'll talk about the difference between judgment and discernment, the drain of trauma dumping, and how projection shapes our interactions. We'll also look at boundaries—why they're not selfish, and how to hold them without guilt or pressure.Along the way, I share some practical reminders for staying aligned as a healer, and how to choose connection over being “right.” We'll close with a short healing session to bring the insights home and leave you in a place of calm and clarity.Timestamps: ⏰00:00 – Welcome and Introduction00:23 – Brunch Anecdote and Pancake Rant01:22 – Understanding Trauma Dumping02:30 – Judgment vs. Discernment04:59 – Projection and Its Impact07:08 – Setting Boundaries as a Healer08:37 – Prioritizing Self-Care and Alignment15:32 – The Importance of Inner Peace16:08 – Closing Thoughts and Healing Session
Dr. Julianna Dudas is a naturopathic doctor specializing in treating autoimmune disease, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and other complex conditions like chemical sensitivity and tickborne infections. She is a San Diego native with a medical degree from Bastyr University, California and an undergraduate degree in anthropology from Columbia University.

She was the recipient of an educational grant from the International Society for Lyme and Associated Diseases. In this episode of Conversations for Health, we discuss key points that every health care practitioner should know about Lyme disease, even if they're not treating it. Lyme is often missed or misdiagnosed, and patients may present with fatigue, neurological symptoms, or mystery chronic illness symptoms that don't respond to conventional or holistic approaches. We explore when to suspect Lyme, what testing and coinfections to consider, when to refer out, and so much more. This conversation is filled with clinical pearls, actionable clinical insights and a healthy respect for the complexity of this condition.

Today Lee Sharkey of Goodfire joins The Cognitive Revolution to discuss his research on parameter decomposition methods that break down neural networks into interpretable computational components, exploring how his team's "stochastic parameter decomposition" approach addresses the limitations of sparse autoencoders and offers new pathways for understanding, monitoring, and potentially steering AI systems at the mechanistic level. Check out our sponsors: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Shopify. Shownotes below brought to you by Notion AI Meeting Notes - try one month for free at https://notion.com/lp/nathan Parameter vs. Activation Decomposition: Traditional interpretability methods like Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) focus on analyzing activations, while parameter decomposition focuses on understanding the parameters themselves - the actual "algorithm" of the neural network. No "True" Decomposition: None of the decompositions (whether sparse dictionary learning or parameter decomposition) are objectively "right" because they're all attempting to discretize a fundamentally continuous object, inevitably introducing approximations. Tradeoff in Interpretability: There's a balance between reconstruction loss and causal importance - as you decompose networks more, reconstruction loss may worsen, but interpretability might improve up to a certain point. Potential Unlearning Applications: Parameter decomposition may make unlearning more straightforward than with SAEs because researchers are already working in parameter space and can directly modify vectors that perform specific functions. Function Detection vs. Input Direction: A function like "deception" might manifest in many different input directions that SAEs struggle to identify as a single concept, while parameter decomposition might better isolate such functionality. Knowledge Extraction Goal: A key aim is to extract knowledge from models by understanding how they "think," especially for tasks where models demonstrate superhuman capabilities.

Our conversation with Susan Dickinson, Chief Executive Officer of the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD), explores frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a lesser known but devastating form of dementia that primarily affects behavior and executive function rather than memory. Susan helps us understand the distinctive signs of FTD, including personality changes, social inappropriateness, and diminished decision-making abilities that often appear in patients' 40s and 50s — decades earlier than typical Alzheimer's onset. She clearly explains the critical differences between FTD and Alzheimer's disease, emphasizing why an accurate diagnosis is essential for proper treatment, family support, and planning.
What does it mean to succeed while living with OCD? In this episode, Kristina Orlova sits down with Scott Stirret, founder and CEO of Venture for Canada and author of The Uncertainty Advantage, to explore how OCD and uncertainty intersect with ambition, business, and personal growth. Scott opens up about his diagnosis during the pandemic, how OCD shaped his thoughts and rituals long before he had a name for it, and why getting evidence-based treatment through ERP was life-changing. He also shares candidly about setbacks, recovery, and what it means to manage OCD as a lifelong condition. Together, Kristina and Scott unpack the sneaky ways OCD shows up, the power of mindfulness and self-compassion, and how embracing uncertainty can actually become a strength rather than a fear. Whether you're navigating OCD yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope, practical strategies, and a powerful reminder that success and OCD are not mutually exclusive. The 3 things you'll learn in today's episode: Why healing from OCD is a gradual process and not about “making thoughts go away.” How mindfulness and self-compassion can help untangle mental compulsions. Practical tools Scott uses like exercise, rest, and relationships—to manage OCD while leading a successful career.

In this riveting episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into one of the most legendary—and misunderstood—moments in NFL history: the Herschel Walker trade. Sparked by a moment in Episode 3 of Netflix's America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, the crew unpacks the real story behind the trade that built a dynasty and left the Vikings holding the bag.Skin goes full football detective, questioning the narrative presented in the docuseries and digging into the actual mechanics of the trade. Did Jimmy Johnson really bait the Vikings into giving up a treasure trove of picks? Was Isaac Holt just a throw-in, or a key contributor? And how did the Cowboys end up with all those first- and second-round picks?

1 Corinthians 2: Untangled Thinking (1 Corinthians - Untangling Church) taught by Pastor Justin Butorac on 08-17-25.
Ashraf Essop, an immigration law specialist, and Professor Loren Landau, an expert in migration and development from Oxford and Wits, unpack the legal, social, and moral implications of growing hostility towards asylum seekers in South Africa. This follows a disturbing incident in which Operation Dudula members attempted to shut down a local clinic, demanding that foreign nationals be denied access to healthcare. Despite the public outrage, such actions persist—often ignoring the Refugees Act and South Africa’s international legal obligations, which guarantee asylum seekers access to essential services. With the asylum system already overwhelmed and public sentiment increasingly volatile, the guests explore what South Africans need to understand about the rights of refugees—and what’s at stake if we continue down this path of exclusion and vigilantism. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Even when my intellect and emotional life feel like they're in tune, I still have so many old, internal, tangles in my mind. And in any given moment, those tangles can cause me to tense up, grab hold, or turn away. My tangles were probably formed a long time ago. Daily practice helps me to see them more clearly, and to begin, slowly and playfully, to untangle them. Practice that's oriented towards connecting with and generating good will for myself and everyone, feels especially helpful. Which means, practicing with the notion that everyone is basically the same: that everyone wants to be safe, happy, and healthy, and to live with ease. This is no big leap, really. At some level we know it's true. But practicing with it as a notion, keeping it front and center, training the mind to remember we're all in this together, training the heart to remember that we're all connected? That feels like a commitment. A playful one, if we let it be, but a commitment. It probably won't change the world (unless it will). But it does feel like a good way to practice, and live.
The funhouse of an abusive, manipulative, or Narcissistic relationship can leave you very disoriented when you finally find your way out. The amount of trauma there is to process can feel stifling and the endless questions may bombard you. What was the extent of their lies? Was any of it true? Did they ever really love me? Why do I still have feelings for this person who hurt me so badly? Sometimes you just need some help to get out of the woods. This is where my guest this week, Bre Wolta, comes in. Bre is a Relationship Clarity Coach who is passionate about helping women heal from the mindf*ck of narcissistic relationships so that they can rebuild their confidence and securely attach in future healthy relationships. On this guest episode, Bre shares about her own toxic relationship healing journey, and her ability to hold safe space allows her to walk alongside clients as they build trust and rekindle the most important relationship of all: the one they have with themselves. Bre explains why she is so passionate about helping women heal from the narcissistic mindf*ck & the 3 elements she believes we need to fully heal the narcissistic wound and allow us to securely attach in all of our relationships with friends, lovers, and family. We both explore our personal past dealing with deceitful partners and how we are all capable of reclaiming our light and belief in true, safe, healthy love.Bre Wolta, EFT and The Clearing Work™ Certified Practitioner, is a Relationship Clarity Coach who helps Women heal and move into their highest experience in healthy relationships.

Shame has a way of making us feel alone — like we're the only ones in the world struggling with something. It can make us withdraw or feel depressed, out of control, and helpless. In the worst cases, it can destroy our self-esteem and even lead to self harm. But shame can also be a force for positive change, from enforcing social norms, to pushing us to improve our behaviors and circumstances. On this episode, we untangle why we feel it, where shame comes from, and how it affects our behavior and health. Lots of us have hangups about what we look like in swimsuits — but wait until you hear about what “kind of attire” used to be acceptable at pools. We'll explore the evolutionary roots of shame, how one woman discovered what was behind her monthly meltdowns, and how shame figures into treatment approaches in the opioid epidemic.

“another thread which I have extricated out of the tangled skein” [HOUN] It has long been accepted that the original title of A Study in Scarlet was meant to be A Tangled Skein. While there is no surviving manuscript of the first Sherlock Holmes story, a single page of notes has long served as Sherlock Holmes's "birth certificate." However, Matt Hall discovered a letter in Sydney, Australia that proves otherwise. His research is presented in Vol. 37 No. 2 of The Sherlock Holmes Journal. And it's much more than just a Trifle.

Send me a text!Empathy isn't the problem—but lately, some voices claim that it is, arguing that empathy leads to irrational decisions or even “civilizational suicide.” If you're someone who cares deeply, you probably reject the idea that empathy is a threat to society. In fact, you likely believe we need more empathy in the world, not less. Yet at the same time, you might find yourself struggling with empathy exhaustion and wondering how to stay engaged without burning out. This episode is to help you unpack how this flawed argument is connected to your exhaustion and how you can stay engaged in meaningful social change while caring for yourself as a compassionate person.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore why empathy isn't the problem or the solution but a complex human capacity that we need to understand to avoid manipulation and prevent burnout.Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Unmasking the manipulation of empathy in political and media narrativesBreaking the cycle of empathy and self-erasureUnderstanding compassion fatigueEngaging practical tools for emotional resilienceEPISODES REFERENCED:How to Avoid Overwhelm and Access JoyHow to Prioritize Your Needs (Beyond Maslow)How to Navigate Societal Gaslighting and Stay Empowered LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Darwin Misunderstood Interview with Sam Altman Suicidal Empathy critique Nazi MindAre Billionaires Good For Society?

What does real intimacy feel like after betrayal, addiction, and years of rebuilding trust? In this episode, we open up about how Jay's ability to connect has changed over time — from fake vulnerability and performance to HONEST EMOTIONS and simple, humble presence. Jay shares how he used to seek physical intimacy to avoid emotions, and how healing has redefined what closeness feels like. We talk about the risks of being emotionally naked, the power of GIVING SACRIFICIALLY, and how intimacy now lives in the small moments we missed before. Topics we explore in this episode: – The quickest path to intimacy (hint: it's not sex) – What vulnerability really means – Giving to give vs. giving to get – Why 50/50 doesn't fully heal relationships – Untangling emotional from physical intimacy – Presence: the real secret to connection If you've ever wondered what intimacy can look like after real healing — not just surviving but connecting deeply — this one is for you. 00:00 Intro and question 00:44 How Jay saw intimacy THEN vs NOW 03:38 But it's not this... 04:06 What intimacy looks like after healing the relationship 05:35 The QUICKEST way to intimacy 07:49 Giving to give vs. GIVING TO GET 09:02 Should it be 50/50? 09:55 Did Jay ‘fake it' at church? 13:08 Qualities of vulnerability 14:53 Now intimacy 'is just there' 17:50 The main thing: Presence Leave a comment and let us know what touched you most.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)Ever wondered what reality TV can teach us about psychology? In this episode, we put our mental health expertise to "work" analyzing the relationship dynamics on the first 17 episodes of Season 7 of "Love Island USA," revealing fascinating patterns that mirror what therapists see in couples therapy every day. Tell us your thoughts using the "send us a text" link above!The villa becomes our laboratory as we dissect the pursue-withdraw dynamic playing out between contestants like Ace and Amaya. Watch as we unpack how Ace masterfully maintains emotional distance while keeping women interested. His approach to "boundaries" offers a compelling case study in how this psychological concept can sometimes be misused in relationships.We then turn our attention to Huda and Jeremiah, whose turbulent relationship showcases textbook anxious attachment behaviors. From the infamous "pancake incident" to America's devastating vote, we explore how Huda's core fear of abandonment drives her reactions, while Jeremiah's tendency to withdraw only intensifies the conflict. Their interactions reveal how quickly attachment patterns emerge under pressure, and why some contestants lock into relationships immediately while others maintain strategic distance.Whether you're a Love Island fan or just curious about relationship psychology, we explore attachment styles, communication patterns, and emotional intelligence that apply far beyond the villa. **Join our KulaMind Community that launches Monday July 14th! 50% off the first month for podcast listeners!

In this episode of This Life or Something Better, we're diving into the complicated, emotional space where caregiving and old family roles collide. You may be the one driving to appointments, making medical decisions, showing up day after day, and still being treated like the problem. And that's not just exhausting, it's heartbreaking. If you've ever asked yourself, “Why does it feel like I'm the villain, even when I'm trying to help?”, this conversation is for you. We'll explore: The invisible grief that lives beneath the frustration What happens when you become the caretaker and the emotional target Why old family roles resurface under stress And how to begin separating who you are now from who you were in childhood You'll walk away with reflection questions, embodiment tools, and simple but powerful internal dialogue to use when it all feels like too much. Because this isn't just about the logistics of caregiving. It's about reclaiming your identity and setting boundaries within a relationship that overlooked your true self.

Amy is joined by advocate Allison Dayton, founder of Lift & Love, to discuss the god-sized holes left behind when LGBTQIA+ people are forced out of their faith traditions, plus how the LDS Church can be changed through love and role modelling to embrace its gay family.Donate to Breaking Down PatriarchyAllison Dayton started the Lift & Love Foundation to support LGBTQ individuals and their families in the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Allison lost her brother, who was gay, to suicide at the same time her 17-year-old son was coming out.

Lift and Love has grown to fill that much-needed space supporting thousands of individuals and families as they navigate their unique journeys of protecting their identity or that of their precious children and integrating their new reality into their devotion to Jesus Christ. Allison is a writer, speaker, including at BYU Women's Conferences. In 2022 she moderated an LGBTQ Conversation Circle at the UN Women's Conference. Allison and her husband, Kenn, live in the foothills of Salt Lake City, Utah, have three grown children, a son-in-law and a granddaughter, Georgia, who rules their world.

Joan opens up about her own long-term journey in therapy, the power of dreamwork, and thesubconscious patterns that keep so many of us stuck.We talk about what it really means to “untangle” the inner knots around love, money, and self-worth, and why healing often looks nothing like we expect.Joan's honesty, depth, and insight make this a must-listen for anyone who's ready to look beneath the surface.

"It's the first science-based escape room." If you ask an escape room enthusiast about entanglement puzzles, what likely springs to mind are those intertwined, bent metal nails that you need to separate. However, for Paul Kwiat, an entanglement puzzle is something else completely. Professor Kwiat is an acclaimed physicist, specializing in quantum physics, including quantum entanglement, along with quantum cryptography, dense-coding, quantum teleportation, entanglement distillation, and most recently, optical quantum gates. Phew! But what's a physicist doing on REPOD? Besides his many other accomplishments, Professor Kwiat has also created LabEscape, the first science-based escape room. Most of the puzzles in his games are built on different science phenomena such as magnetism, thermodynamics, and polarization. Many of these are rather advanced principles that would be taught at a college-level course. These are not games for kids! Professor Kwiat explains that he had three goals when creating his escape room. One—to show that science can be both relevant and accessible. Two—to show that these scientific effects are aesthetically beautiful. Three—that science is fun! His love of science and physics is certainly infectious. We couldn't resist the opportunity to chat about quantum mechanics, including quantum computers, and cryptography. I truly appreciated that he took the time to explain all these principles to us, even if it meant crushing my romantic notions of how quantum entanglement works. This episode is a bit different, but I think you'll certainly learn something.
