My guest in this episode, Morrene Hauser, spent decades repressing traumatic memories from her childhood. When she finally cracked open that vault, her life all but fell apart. Morrene speaks with raw honesty about surviving a childhood marked by relentless abuse at the hands of her mother and stepfathers. Morrene is driven by a fierce desire to help others by telling her painful but inspiring story. We talk about her upcoming memoir, The Good Girl, and how writing has become both a lifeline and a form of catharsis. Morrene also shares how horses played a powerful role in her healing. This conversation is about survival, reclaiming your own narrative, naming the wounds, and finding a way forward.This is Morrene Hauser's story.Links related to this episode:Morrene J.

Today, we're diving into the world of AuDHD – a unique neurotype that combines both Autism and ADHD. This blog post will unpack why your brain might feel sluggish, how overstimulation can quickly spiral, and how sensory overload interferes with communication. We'll also take a closer look at Polyvagal Theory, a scientific concept that explains how your body reacts to stress – and why that reaction feels so intense for those of us with AuDHD. And don't worry – we'll finish things off with practical strategies to manage sensory overload, all backed by research and neuroscience.Processing Speed in AuDHD: Slowed But Not StoppedLet's kick things off with processing speed – the ability to take in information, understand it, and respond. For those with AuDHD, this doesn't always happen at lightning speed.Autistic processing speed: Many autistic individuals describe their thoughts as moving through molasses, not because they're slow, but because every detail stands out. In fact, research shows that autistic adults consistently perform slower on cognitive tasks, such as symbol search or coding tasks, than their neurotypical peers. This isn't about intelligence – it's about how your brain allocates attention. When the brain is processing a million sensory details, it has fewer resources to devote to thinking and responding.ADHD processing speed: ADHD adds another layer. People with ADHD often experience something called "sluggish cognitive tempo," meaning their minds wander, feel foggy, and take longer to complete tasks. This is especially true when there are multiple steps or a need for quick reactions. ADHD brains struggle to process quickly when distracted by the world around them.When you combine autism and ADHD – AuDHD – the challenges multiply. An AuDHD brain might analyze one piece of a problem deeply (a strength), but then struggle to move on to the next step. Or you may find yourself mentally fatigued after filtering distractions for just a few minutes. The result? Mental fatigue and frustration. Think of trying to work on a puzzle while the TV is blaring, someone's talking to you, and the dog is barking. Your brain is juggling too much, so everything takes longer.The takeaway: Processing speed can feel slow in AuDHD, but it's not about being “slow” – it's about the brain working harder to process sensory information and complete tasks.Sensory Overload: Why Everything Feels Like Too MuchNext, let's talk about sensory overload. For many people with AuDHD, everyday environments can quickly become overwhelming. The world feels too loud, too bright, and too busy.Research points to sensory gating – the brain's ability to filter out irrelevant stimuli. In neurotypical brains, unnecessary sensory input (like background noise) is ignored. But in autism, there's a deficit in sensory gating, meaning the brain fails to filter out irrelevant or background stimuli. Sounds that others don't notice – the ticking of a clock, the hum of a fluorescent light – feel like they're blaring in your ears.On the ADHD side, things are no better. ADHD brains are bombarded by all sensory input because they have trouble filtering distractions. If you imagine your brain as a radio, a neurotypical brain might tune in to one station and block out static. An ADHD brain often has many stations playing at once – all competing for attention.Put both neurotypes together, and you get sensory overload. A gentle hum becomes unbearable, bright lights become blinding, and even the smallest sensory details can cause distress. The result? Overstimulation. One person with AuDHD might describe it as, “The world is speaking all at once, and I can't make it stop.” This overload can trigger panic or anxiety – even if there's no real threat.Story: The Café OverloadImagine this: Alex, who has AuDHD, goes to a coffee shop with a friend. There's music playing, espresso machines whirring, people chatting, and flickering candles. For most people, these sounds might blend into the background. But for Alex, every sound and sight hits like a drum. The coffee grinder is unbearably loud. The flickering lights are dizzying. Even the wallpaper feels like it's spinning.Alex starts to feel overwhelmed. Heart racing. Ears ringing. Brain foggy. They're no longer able to focus on the conversation, and they don't have the mental energy to process the noise and the people. This is sensory overload in action: everything becomes too much, and Alex's brain simply shuts down.The body's autonomic nervous system (ANS) – our stress response system – kicks in, signaling that something is wrong. Even though Alex is safe, the body's reaction is the same as if they were in danger. This leads us to Polyvagal Theory.Communication Challenges During Sensory OverloadSo, what happens when we try to communicate under these conditions? If your brain is overwhelmed with sensory input, there's little energy left for understanding language or speaking. Verbal processing becomes nearly impossible. You might hear your name being called, but you don't register it because your brain is busy filtering out all the noise around you.Research on autism shows that even when a person hears their name in a noisy environment, their brain may not respond, especially if they have limited verbal ability. For someone with AuDHD, ADHD makes it even harder to focus on the conversation when distractions are everywhere. So, you might be physically present in a conversation, but your attention is being hijacked by the flickering light or the pattern on the wall. Suddenly, the words don't make sense, and the world feels fuzzy.Autism Speaks describes this as a “shutdown” – when your brain stops processing speech and communication because it's too busy trying to manage sensory overload. For many, this results in dissociation: feeling out of touch, like you're not part of the conversation.In short: Communication suffers during sensory overload. It's not laziness or avoidance – it's your neurobiology at work. The brain simply doesn't have the resources to handle multiple sensory inputs at once.The Nervous System and Polyvagal TheoryLet's take a closer look at Polyvagal Theory, a concept developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. This theory helps explain why sensory overload leads to shutdown or panic.The theory identifies three states your body can be in:Ventral Vagal State (Safe/Social): This is when your body feels calm and connected. When this system is activated, your heart rate and breathing are steady, and communication happens easily.Sympathetic State (Fight/Flight): When a threat is detected (even something as small as a loud noise), the body shifts into “fight or flight” mode. Your heart rate increases, your body prepares to react.Dorsal Vagal State (Freeze/Shutdown): If the threat feels overwhelming and there's no escape, the body enters “freeze mode.” This is where your heart rate and energy levels drop, leading to shutdown. The body feels numb, and you might struggle to speak or move.For those of us with AuDHD, sensory overload can push us into fight/flight or freeze mode. The body's stress response system takes over, shutting down other functions like speech and decision-making. You might feel like you're being “attacked” by noise, lights, and sensations, even though there's no actual threat. Understanding Polyvagal Theory shows us that this response is natural – and not your fault.Coping Strategies for Sensory OverloadNow that we understand the science, let's talk about strategies to manage sensory overload and slow processing speed. These tools can help reset the nervous system and reduce stress:Modify Your Environment: Dim the lights, wear sunglasses indoors, or use noise-canceling headphones to reduce sensory triggers. In a busy setting, head to a quieter corner or play white noise to mask disruptive sounds.Use Sensory Tools: Keep items like weighted blankets, stress balls, or fidget toys on hand. These can help provide calming feedback and redirect attention away from overwhelming stimuli.Take Sensory Breaks: When you start feeling overloaded, take a break. Step outside, do some gentle movement, or engage in deep breathing exercises to reset your body and mind.Communicate Your Needs: If you're in a situation where you're struggling to process information, let people know. Simple phrases like “I need a moment to think” can help others understand when you're overwhelmed.Final ThoughtsAuDHD is a complex neurotype that combines the traits of both autism and ADHD. This makes for a brain that processes information slowly, struggles with sensory overload, and sometimes finds communication challenging. But understanding the science behind it – especially concepts like Polyvagal Theory – can help us make sense of these experiences.The key takeaway is: You are not alone, and it's okay to need extra time, breaks, or accommodations. By learning to recognize the signs of sensory overload and slow processing speed, we can better manage our environment and our reactions.Remember: It's not about “fighting” your brain – it's about learning to work with it. With patience, understanding, and the right tools, you can navigate the world in a way that feels more manageable and less overwhelming.Thank you for reading!

In this episode of the Women Offshore Podcast, we share the anonymous story of a mariner who navigated a series of deeply uncomfortable and inappropriate interactions while on hitch. This story does not involve physical violence, but it does involve emotional manipulation, blurred boundaries, and delayed responses from leadership. These are issues that many offshore professionals have faced but rarely talk about openly.The story is real. The names and identifying details have been changed to protect the person who came forward. The message is clear: workplace safety is not just about hard hats and checklists. It is also about culture, leadership, and how we respond when something goes wrong.What We CoverA firsthand account of escalating verbal misconduct over multiple hitchesThe emotional toll of being asked to remain quietHow unclear or delayed leadership responses can prolong harmThe importance of early reporting and documentationThe internal struggle of deciding whether to speak upThe episode also explores how difficult it can be to recognize when a line has been crossed, especially when harm comes in the form of repeated comments rather than a single, obvious incident. The individual in this story tried to handle things quietly, tried to avoid conflict, and tried to trust the system. But ultimately, it became clear that silence was not a solution.Why This MattersThis story is not rare. It reflects the kind of slow, repeated harm that often goes unaddressed, not because no one cares, but because no one knows who should act.Verbal and emotional misconduct can be harder to report, and even harder to respond to. People hesitate. Leaders assume someone else is handling it. And the result is silence when action is needed.Leadership is not just a title. It is a responsibility. Delays, vague responses, or inaction can leave people feeling unsafe and unsupported.This episode is a reminder that how we respond matters. The smallest action, listening, documenting, following up, can make all the difference.

Today, we're talking about one of my favorite topics (at least in my top 10) that sounds simple but can be deeply transformative: positive affirmations.  You've probably seen them on sticky notes, Instagram quotes, FB or maybe even your bathroom mirror—phrases like “I am enough,” or “I am in control of my thoughts.” But… Do they actually work? And if so, how? Let's explore science—and then I'll share some powerful affirmations you can start using today. So, what exactly are positive affirmations? In a nutshell, they're short, powerful statements that you repeat to yourself to challenge and change unhelpful thoughts. Think of them as little verbal vitamins for your brain—nourishing, strengthening, and protective. Positive affirmations are more than just feel-good phrases. Backed by real science, they can help you reshape your internal dialogue, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward a better you.

I don't know what age I was. Somewhere between seven and ten perhaps. A youngster! I grew out of my speech impediment, and I have very little recollection of my stammering phase but I was reminded of it when I was on the phone to a friend in Ard Oifig in Dublin last week.The Floodgates of HorrorUachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D Higgins does not mince his words when it comes to Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people. Last weekend he addressed the annual commemoration of Ireland's An Gorta Mór – The Great Hunger - of the 1840s. The commemoration is a reminder of our colonial experience and of a potato plight which became a genocide because of the policies of the British government. Over a million died and millions more fled. The Catastrophe – NakbaLast week Palestinians across the world commemorated the Nakba – The Catastrophe. In 1948 almost a million Palestinians fled as refugees from their homes as the Israeli state was forcibly carved out of Palestine.

It's about making her feel safe enough to stop worrying about your growth.In Part 4 of our intimacy series, we explore:What emotional intimacy actually looks like for a manHow to talk about your growth in a way she understands and trustsWhy her “boundaries” might feel like cinder blocks (and how to respond with courage)The powerful difference between sharing emotion and sharing progressWhy your wife isn't asking for perfection—but for a predictable processWhat to do when you're overwhelmed by the pressure to "fix yourself fast"This is about learning to lead—not just the house, but your own growth—so your wife doesn't have to beg for reassurance anymore.Want to read more about this topic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/the-piess-of-self-care/Rather Watch Something? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iefBWa0iybo&t=1sCheck out the Marriage Repair Workshops: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/⁠

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --How the Bible WorksToday we continue our How Stuff Works series with a topic that's both deeply theological and intensely practical: How the Bible Works. For Christians, the Bible is more than just a religious book—it's the inspired Word of God. But where did it come from? How is it structured? And how do we read it in a way that transforms our lives?These are big questions, and this summary explores three essential truths that come from our Bible Basics series:1. Where Did We Get the Bible?The Bible didn't fall from the sky, nor was it just a random collection of human wisdom. Scripture teaches that the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit.2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT) “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”“Inspired” literally means “God-breathed.” That means the words of the Bible carry the very breath of God, and He speaks to us through its pages.Mark 12:36 (NLT) “For David himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said…”Jesus affirmed the divine origin of the Old Testament scriptures. The human authors wrote using their own style and voice, but were guided by the Spirit of God.2 Peter 1:20-21 (NLT) “No prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding... those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.”Verbal plenary inspiration means that the very words (verbal) and all parts (plenary) of Scripture are inspired by God. Though the original manuscripts were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, God has preserved His message through faithful transmission and translation.Translation Types:Word-for-Word (Formal): ESV, NASBThought-for-Thought (Dynamic): NIV, NLTWhile only the original manuscripts are infallible, modern translations are trustworthy because of careful preservation, thousands of manuscripts, and the sovereignty of God.2. What Is the Structure of the Bible?The Bible is one book made up of 66 individual books, divided into two testaments:Old Testament (39 Books): Written over 1,000 years and originally part of the Hebrew Bible, it includes:Law (Genesis–Deuteronomy)History (Joshua–Esther)Wisdom/Poetry (Job–Song of...

“Why does she keep saying I'm emotionally unavailable?”“Why can't she just accept that I am trying—even if I don't cry or say all the right words?”In Part 3 of this powerful series on rebuilding emotional and verbal intimacy, we dive into the real reasons why connection keeps falling short—even when you're putting in the effort. This episode tackles the confusing gap between what you do and how she feels about what you're doing—and why your silence (even if unintentional) can still sound loud.We'll explore:Why emotional intimacy always starts with the man—even when it feels unfairWhat to do when your wife's “boundaries” feel more like cinder blocksThe difference between talking about something and sharing how you feel about itHow to answer, “What are you feeling?” when your brain goes blankWhy she needs more than your notes, your podcast summaries, and your intentionsHow to develop emotional vocabulary when you've never had oneWhat it means to show effort, not just to be a good man, but to feel like oneThis is the episode for men who are done avoiding emotional conversations—but still need the tools to survive them.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/the-battle-of-perspectives-laman-nephi-and-the-power-of-faith/Rather Watch Something? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfBZj-uCiGI&t=6sCheck out the Marriage Repair Workshops: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/⁠

“Why does every conversation with my wife feel like a trap?”“Why can't my husband say what I need to hear without shutting down or sounding robotic?”This episode dives deeper into the real work of rebuilding intimacy—the kind that actually leads to connection instead of frustration. Verbal intimacy isn't about having a conversation. It's about creating a space where both partners feel safe enough to be real—and where the relationship can grow again.We'll unpack:Why your wife's emotional state can completely block intimacy—and how to tell if she's readyHow to stop “fixing” and start “warming” the space between youWhat cognitive intimacy is, and why it matters more than being “good at talking”Why faking depth won't work—and why five months of quiet prep makes all the differenceWhat it actually means to show up with a real marital mission and identity statementHow the DAR cycle (Discover, Act, Reflect) builds authentic emotional connectionIf you're tired of feeling like every attempt to connect is met with distance, silence, or shutdowns, this episode is for you.Want to read more about this topic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/the-advanced-reflective-listening-tool/Rather Watch Something? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPfx3YFV2nICheck out the Marriage Repair Workshops: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/⁠

“Why does my wife keep pointing out what's wrong with me—can't she see I'm trying?”“Why is it so hard to talk to my husband without feeling dismissed, frustrated, or shut down?”In this vulnerable and foundational episode, we open the door to the most difficult—yet vital—season of marriage repair: rebuilding emotional and verbal intimacy. Not with shallow tricks or surface-level “communication hacks,” but by learning what it really takes to create and protect emotional safety in your relationship.We explore:Why her emotional “check engine light” isn't an attack—it's a request for safetyHow to know if you're emotionally and spiritually ready for verbal intimacyWhy “just getting it over with” never works and often causes more harmThe difference between humiliation and humility for men in marriage growthWhy being “goal-oriented” might be sabotaging your ability to connectThe power of pre-checklists before you “take off” into hard conversationsThis is the episode for the man who's trying—but keeps hearing it's not enough. And for the woman wondering why he keeps retreating when all she wants is connection.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/deals-a-formula-for-happiness/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv-xlD0Z0s4Check out the Marriage Repair Workshops: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/⁠
