Stew breaks down the news of the day, including how the Iran war has become a total disaster for the US and Israel—no wins, no ratings, just endless American bombs and dead schoolgirls—now the propaganda machine is pivoting to the next circus: Trump's “dream team” trip to China. They lied about the deadly shot and they lied about the forever wars for Israel. Peymon Mottahedeh joins Stew to discuss how they've also lied to you about the IRS — there is no law requiring 99% of Americans to pay federal income taxes. Learn how to legally stop paying taxes and funding the Zionist-occupied government and its wars.

Stew breaks down the news of the day, including how Dan Bilzerian is forcing Randy Fine to pretend he suddenly wants to end foreign aid to Israel and ban dual-citizens from holding a seat in congress. Total lie. I'm joined by former SEAL Team 6 Senior Chief Petty Officer Rob O'Neill — the legendary Navy veteran who killed Osama bin Laden — for a hard-hitting expert breakdown of Charlie Kirk's murder, exposing why the official "lone wolf with a 30-06" story doesn't add up and what the shocking video truly reveals.

  Stew breaks down the news of the day, including the clash between Dan Bilzerian and Nick Fuentes. Dan called out Nick as a straight-up fed and Epstein-class creature deployed to drive wedges between White Americans, defend pedophiles, attack real patriots, and help Jews maintain control while the country gets stripped bare.

Your whole family is waiting on you. They just don't know how to ask There's a "no more" sitting in your spirit right now. A line you should've drawn months ago. A truth you've been carrying alone because saying it out loud feels too costly. So you've stayed silent. You've kept the peace. You've prayed about it. You've waited. And nothing has changed. In this message, Eric Thomas breaks down what happens to a home, a marriage, a family — and a calling — when the person who sees the problem won't open their mouth. And what happens the moment they finally do. What you'll walk away with: - Why "I'll just pray about it" can be the most damaging response you give - The difference between keeping the peace and keeping the problem alive - The 8 reasons we stay silent — and the truth that breaks each one - Why temporary discomfort is the price of preventing permanent damage - A direct word for the people who've been punished for telling the truth CHAPTERS ▶ Subscribe for new messages every week: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRzMQFmplNd4-H1X5bj1jA?sub_confirmation=1

Headlines Rico calls in with a proposal gone wrong story that involved a whole lot of people stranded on vacation and him going back home with a ring in his pocket

So Stripe has been fighting with me all year over ANC Report. Sad news is they will no longer allow me to accept payments from Peasants to Rainbow Frogs. So if you were A Peasant, Artisan, Knight, Paladin or Rainbow Frog this is the end of that adventure. I am battling with them to either refund the money to the buyers or allow me to have it. Right now it is on hold which is the worst case scenario because it means neither I or the customers have the money. Fear not, I am used to being canceled off of things for no reason. Stripe wants us all funneled into establishment social media which is control by the wall kissers. Substack is not one of those. They are the last man standing. But currently they cannot offer a tier list like Patreon or others do. But they are the ONLY one that does not censor. We did not know how Substack would be. On a scale of 1 to Lindsey Graham how gay would they be on free speech. Enough time has passed to give them a grade. It turns out, they actually obey the constitution. Which means Spinning squirrel is a go. You can thank Stripe for pissing me off enough to release it. So every Sunday for the next 12 weeks we are going to show case Spinning Squirrel, Rotating Rodent and Twirl Squirrel the Final Solution plus interviews with prominent H.R. updates from Bud and other things that will make the establishment crawl up the wall. So much nonsense is said about the Holocaust including the retarded twitter-sphere that keeps talking about “muh Red Cross report” and acting like only 271k were killed. It is a funny meme, but it is completely false. However I am not that interested in debunking idiotic exaggerations coming from THAT side, as they are already criminalized in 25 countries. I am focusing more on the equally absurd exaggerations and fabrications coming from Holocaustianity. Do not be a light switch brain. Debunking nonsense from one camp is not an endorsement of the other. I used to argue with revisionists and have debunked many of the best of them. Oddly those interviews have been censored too. But Why should I play offense for the side that has labeled me a denier and canceled me off of everything? I'm not going to any more. They can play defense themselves. I will however body slam, whip to the ropes, big boot and leg drop the Holocaust alarmists. Because these charlatan rats have profited in the tens of millions of dollars from lying about the holocaust, playing victims where they were never even involved and so on. So today if you can, cancel you ANC membership and add substack at least at the $7 level but I encourage you to get Prime. The price is adjustable give as much or little as you want. You can mimic what yo were trying to do on ANC. Better than that getI am seriously about to kick the establishment in the nuts. This burns all bridges for me to “legit” media. Doesn't really matter because I am blackballed from that anyway thanks to the ADL, SPLC, Canary Mission and so on. Literally the Epstein List. So of course I will double down. This will be Ryan Dawson Dark Mode. Starting with this 911 map puzzle. Fun for the Whole Family. Oh I got Bin Laden! Yay, who has Bandar Bin Sultan?

Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's expert episode, #250, featuring Dr. Jenn Rapkin, who joins us for a powerful and clarifying conversation about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).These expert episodes are conversations with professionals whose work directly supports caregiving parents. In this episode, hosts Jessica Patay and Susanna Peace Lovell sit down with Dr. Rapkin to unpack the many misconceptions surrounding OCD and to offer deeper understanding for families navigating intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors.Dr. Rapkin shares her perspective not only as a clinician, but also as someone who has personally experienced OCD and as a parent of a child with the condition. Together, they explore how OCD is often misunderstood and trivialized as simply being “neat” or “organized,” when in reality it can significantly disrupt daily life through intrusive thoughts and compulsions—including mental compulsions that may go unnoticed by others.The conversation covers how OCD presents in children, the impact of trauma, and why early recognition and proper diagnosis are so important. Dr. Rapkin explains why Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is considered the gold standard treatment and what it truly means to sit with discomfort rather than allowing OCD to dictate behavior. She also emphasizes that managing OCD is often a lifelong journey—one that requires compassion, support, and informed care.This episode replaces stigma with understanding and offers practical, hopeful insight for families seeking clarity around OCD.Find more information about Dr. Jenn Rapkin here.Find Jenn's book, The Feeling Muscle here.Find more information about Life Coach, Susanna Peace Lovell here.Find Susanna's book, Your True Self is Enough here.Find our first book from We Are Brave Together here.Find FULL epBrave Together is the podcast for We are Brave Together, a not-for-profit organization based in the USA.

I had one of those moments again where my kid asked me for something while my partner was sitting right there, and it made me realize how many of us have quietly become the default parent without ever deciding to. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that happens, not from a place of blame, but from understanding. Because when you see how this dynamic forms over time, it becomes so much easier to change it. If you've been carrying the mental load and wondering how it all ended up on your plate, this is going to give you a completely different perspective. In this episode, we unpack: What it really means to be the default parent (hint: it's not about doing more tasks) How childhood conditioning and early motherhood wire this pattern in Why practice—not ability—keeps you stuck holding the mental load The hidden role of perfectionism and standards in keeping control How small daily patterns quietly turn into a one-person systemWork with me: Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Book your Break Free From Stress Strategy Call (with free Quiz!): www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/break-free-from-stress

OCD doesn't just affect one person, it can quietly take over an entire household. What starts as small accommodations to reduce anxiety can turn into daily routines shaped around OCD, pulling parents and family members into cycles of reassurance, avoidance, and accommodation that keep the disorder in full control.In this episode, Marni Jacob, a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating OCD in children and families, explains how this dynamic develops and what it takes to break it. She shares how families can begin stepping out of the cycle, reduce accommodations, and support their child in a way that builds confidence instead of reinforcing OCD.At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.

Money fights are rarely about the money.They usually start somewhere small. A decision. An assumption. A moment that feels harmless at the time.And then suddenly you are on a honeymoon, of all places, realizing you are not actually on the same financial page at all.

In this first installment of my series, "Where Are They Now?", I'll be interviewing past Canadian therapists that I've had on the show to see how their private practice is doing. Today, I'm checking in with Christina Page! Tune in to gain extra insight into where she was when we first spoke, and see the progress she has made!  We discuss the surprising discoveries she has made along the way, the discomfort she has overcome, and the wonderful lessons that she has learned from both. Join our conversation, and see if you can pick up an informative gem to help you on your path in Canadian private practice! MEET CHRISTINA Christina Page is a Certified Perinatal Therapist and the owner of Whole Family Psychotherapy - a collective of heart-centered perinatal specialists offering virtual counselling services across Ontario to parents and parents-to-be. Christina's team offers individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and parenting support sessions for folks through pre-conception journeys, during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond into later stages of family life. The team at Whole Family understands that when parents feel whole, family systems thrive.  Learn more about Christina on her practice website, Psychology Today, and LinkedIn profiles.  In this episode:  A quick recap  Christina's group practice update to today  Stepping fully into the CEO role  The importance of having an emergency savings fund Christina's goals for the future A quick recap Christina re-listened to her first appearance on the Fearless Practice Podcast as well, and she discusses how much it brought back for her.  At the beginning of her group private practice journey, Christina wore most of the hats. She was the clinical director, admin, and saw a full caseload of clients, all while being a mother to young children. While she loved it too, she knew that it wasn't sustainable.  Therefore, over the year and a half since our first podcast episode, she has smoothed and straightened out her practice to the extent that she can take a step back and enjoy it more, rather than just running from task to task.  Christina's group practice update to today Her practice has grown! They are now a team of seven therapists, including an intern. She has full admin support, which Christina explains has been one of the biggest benefits to date.  As Christina explains, the most crucial element for success that she has seen in her private practice over the months is to support its flexibility.  The businesses needed to handle an increased number of clients coming in, admin requests, and paperwork, which meant the business's foundation needed to be broadened, strengthened, and made as autonomous as possible so that Christina herself didn't become the bottleneck.  Secondly, Christina's next biggest lesson was learning how helpful it can be to slow down. Not everything needs to be treated as a crisis, and not everything needs your response right away.  Stepping fully into the CEO role Another big change that Christina hadn't ever thought would happen is that she has stopped seeing clients herself! She has since stepped fully into the role of being the practice CEO, the leader of her team, and the business entity.  Christina took a leap of faith and trusted the process. She was able to work through the initial discomfort of not knowing what might happen and navigating uncertain financial situations, and while things are still not yet where she wants them to be financially, they are improving.  All this was made possible by her recognizing that it would be good for her practice to take a step back from seeing clients and step forward into a more leadership role.  The importance of having an emergency savings fund Having an emergency fund is crucial, and specifically for two reasons:  1 - To give you leeway to make changes in your practice, such as Christina going from a full caseload of clients to being the full-time boss only, and having some financial cushioning can help you make these transitions easier  2 - To make it through uncertain times in the economy or when client conversion rates dip, which is common in private practice  Take good care of yourself and your nervous system, because tolerating the uncertainty of business in private practice, in our world today, requires you to have a sense of groundedness.  Christina's goals for the future Now, Christina's goals for the future are to create stability for the practice to support and nurture what they are currently doing well. She's going to remain open and flexible in terms of what's to come!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Tina Bells: Balancing Non-Profit and Private Practice | EP 189 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Get started with Hushmail here and get one month for free!

Parents have questions about phones, tablets, video games…essentially all the screen time things.You might ask yourself: What age is too young to give them their own device? How do I get them to turn it off without fighting? How much time is too much?Am I a bad mom if I not only allow, but sometimes even encourage, rotting on a screen when I just need some time to get shit done or be “on break”?It's so tempting to think about screens as a black or white issue.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources)

Da Brat and Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart join Angela Yee and the Lip Service crew for one of their most open and revealing conversations yet. The married couple reflects on the early struggles of their relationship, including missed calls, trust issues, and navigating past partners while building something real together. They discuss the controversial moment when Judy gave her ex a car while they were already serious, how social media influenced their relationship, and the challenges of transitioning from private life to public love. The couple also opens up about their IVF journey, becoming parents, and how entrepreneurship and demanding careers affect their time together. Da Brat and Judy get candid about communication styles, handling arguments, and what it took for them to truly feel safe and in love. They share emotional insight into nurturing each other, learning from past relationships, and growing into partners and parents. The conversation takes a classic Lip Service turn as they discuss their first sexual experiences together, multiple orgasms, role play, and how intentional intimacy keeps their relationship strong.

Today we're taking a fresh, much-needed look at screen time—one that moves beyond fear, shame, and power struggles and into something far more nuanced and humane. My guest is Ash Brandin, also known as TheGamerEducator, and the author of the new book, Power On: Managing Screen Time to Benefit the Whole Family. In this episode, Ash and I talk about screen time through the lenses of social equity and moral neutrality, and why empowering kids with skills, not control, is key to navigating technology well. We also explore practical strategies for managing screen use, how engaging with kids around their interests can change everything, and what a truly collaborative approach to technology can look like inside families. This is a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone feeling stuck or conflicted about screens and modern parenting.
