Podcasts about Wholeness

LESSON 304Let Not My World Obscure The Sight Of Christ.I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness. Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

When insecurity takes over, most of us double down on self-improvement. But what if freedom doesn't come from focusing more on yourself - but less? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Alison and author of Free of Me and Gazing at God, Sharon Hodde Miller, discuss the promises and pitfalls of self-esteem culture - and why a bigger story of belovedness, stewardship, and connection sets us free.  We talk about how self-preoccupation doesn't improve self-esteem, why “just love yourself more” can reinforce the problem, and how beholding God (not abandoning yourself) recenters your life with humility and purpose. In this episode, we cover: Why self-focus can erode your confidence and joy The difference between self-esteem and self-preoccupation What it means to de-center yourself without losing your worth How wounds can masquerade as pride or insecurity The freedom that comes from remembering: you are not the hero of the story Get your hands on a copy of Sharon's books! You can find them here:

In today's episode, I sit down with Josh Trent, founder of the Wellness and Wisdom Podcast and creator of the Life Method, who brings a decade of wisdom on identity transformation and building from wholeness. We dive into why identity transformation matters more than marketing tactics, the three phases of entrepreneurial growth (and why most skip the most important one), and the garden metaphor that will change how you approach your inner work. Josh brings raw honesty and practical wisdom on why there are no shortcuts, how to embrace the messy middle, and why people buy your energy, not your information. You don't want to miss this one.

When the challenge remains, it might be the very place you're being formed. In this short, faith-centered reflection, Claudia invites you to reframe lingering struggles. This isn't proof of failure, rather it's the ground where God continues to shape character, deepen dependence, and pull you toward who you're becoming. Claudia names the gap between who you are and who you're called to be, and offers gentle language for living inside the unfinished without shame.Expect compassionate truth-telling, a few simple prompts for honest self-inquiry, and permission to move at the pace of wholeness rather than urgency. If you've prayed, processed, and it still isn't “over,” this episode will help you see the ongoing as formation, not defeat.Ready to go deeper?

His areas of expertise include ethics, Nietzsche, 19th-20th century continental philosophy, and philosophy of Action. In this episode, we talk about three of Nietzsche's ideals: becoming what one is, sovereignty, and wholeness. We start with the ideal of becoming what one is: what it is, what one's own uniqueness is, Nitzsche's takes on the drives and free will, and the mechanisms to become what one is. We then talk about sovereignty: what a morally responsible agent is, and the role of moral guilt. We also discuss wholeness: what it is, and social integration. Finally, we talk about the pathos of distance and aristocracy, and whether it is compatible with democracy.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

LESSON 303The Holy Christ Is Born In Me Today.Watch with me, angels, watch with me today. Let all God's holy Thoughts surround me, and be still with me while Heaven's Son is born. Let earthly sounds be quiet, and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear. Let Christ be welcomed where He is at home. And let Him hear the sounds He understands, and see but sights that show His Father's Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me today.Your Son is welcome, Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the Self That You have given me. He is but what I really am in truth. He is the Son You love above all things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not Christ That can be crucified. Safe in Your Arms let me receive Your Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 302Where Darkness Was I Look Upon The Light.Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own.Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means by which we go to Him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

 Mind, Body, and Energy: Breaking Free with Dr. Amy Albright In this powerful episode of Linda's Corner, we're delighted to welcome Dr. Amy Albright, a transformational healer and expert in neuroscience, energy work, and spiritual integration. With a background in cognitive psychology and Chinese medicine, Dr. Amy has spent over two decades helping people break free from trauma, anxiety, and limiting beliefs by harmonizing the mind, body, and energy.Dr. Amy shares how our brainwaves—from delta to gamma—function like colors in a rainbow, each serving a different purpose in our mental and emotional health. She explains how getting stuck in high beta can lead to overwhelm and anxiety, while accessing gamma opens the door to insight, forgiveness, innovation, and deeper consciousness.We also explore the truth about mental health from a neurobiological perspective. “If your car is pinging, you don't feel shame—you just take it to the mechanic,” Dr. Amy says. “The same should go for your brain.” Her work integrates highly precise neurological diagnostics, spiritual insight, and intuition to help people rediscover who they truly are underneath the layers of trauma and societal expectations.

This week, Thomas shares a teaching on trauma healing, ego integration, and embodied trust. Through the lens of traditional spiritual practices and the Tao Te Ching, he explores how trauma disconnects us from inner coherence, and why it's important to understand and accept the intelligence of our defense patterns instead of simply trying to get rid of them.He also shares a unique perspective on trust, relationality, and worthiness, and challenges the idea of completely “dissolving the ego” and achieving an ideal self, offering a more holistic approach that highlights the necessary function of the ego and the need for all of our parts to be acknowledged and integrated.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

"The Christian faith does not destroy culture, but purifies and uplifts it. It takes away nothing of genuine value from a society or nation, but strengthens whatever is good for the betterment of all."~ St. John Paul IIWhat does it mean to live a beautiful life?How can I create a Catholic culture in my own life, family, school, or work?Should I be aiming to create a utopia on earth?In this insightful episode of This Whole Life, hosts Pat and Kenna sit down with Monsignor James Shea, president of the University of Mary, to explore the deep connection between faith, mental health, and the quest for true integration in everyday life.

Ilia Delio welcomes back Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining to probe a live question for faith communities today: when our concepts of God become narrow—or distorted—how do they derail spiritual growth and even undermine justice? Hillary names the fears that keep churches clinging to old power structures, and offers a pastoral imagination big enough for an evolving, more-than-abstract God. From “theology police” moments in grief care to the responsibility we bear as Christ's body, she invites a shift from transactional religion to a life transfigured by love.The conversation moves into language itself. Do words like Christ and God still help? Hillary shares why she often leads with “Spirit” in wider settings, why the church still needs a reclaimed Christ-language, and how wisdom and creation-energy weave through our lives. Drawing on her Indigenous heritage, she describes practices of reciprocity with the land and how those experiences shape a joyful, resilient path forward for St. Columba's: centers of prayer and discernment where head and heart meet, contemplation births action, and hope endures.ABOUT REV. DR. HILLARY RAINING“The emotional and physical lives of our ancestors… fundamentally affect our emotional and physical lives as well… The practice of gratitude… changes—not only those who practice it—but also the generations that follow.”The Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining is an Episcopal Priest serving as Rector at St. Columba's in Washington, D.C. She is also the founder of The Hive (www.thehiveapiary.com), an online spirituality and wellness community. Actively involved in the Episcopal Church, she served on multiple committees and as a professor and consultant for various Seminaries. She is also a published writer and a sought-after public speaker.

EP #342 - Fragments & Wholeness - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell In this Empowering Chat, I share a few thoughts about the fragmented world we are currently living in right now. So many people are feeling scattered, broken, or just plain exhausted—by what's happening nationally, globally, and even personally. I have been asking myself, “Who am I now?” My hope is to find resolution so that I can somehow rise above all these fragments and find a way to breathe a little more freely. Perhaps you have been feeling it too—that sense of being shattered. And with that comes grief, astonishment, and a whole mix of emotions that can be tough to navigate. Maybe you too have caught yourself wondering, “Who am I now?” or even, “Am I supposed to be doing something different?” Lately, I've noticed fragments of anger and even hatred surfacing in myself and around me. It's not a comfortable place to be. I've been trying to find some common ground, but the polarity out there—the way families and friends are being pulled apart—can feel so heavy. Sometimes it feels like those broken pieces might never get put back together. That's why awareness of self—really listening within—feels more important than ever. I think so many of us are sinking into the quicksand of emotional despair and trying to find a way to rise above it. I truly believe that something as simple as intentional breathing can help. When we stop, breathe and create just a little space, we can start to look at the fragments inside us—and in that stillness we may start to recognize the fragments within that need care, compassion, and healing.

Simran is magical. It's as if I've waited my whole life to meet her… again? She's an author, artist, publisher, mystic, host of 11:11 talk radio,  founder of 11:11 magazine and creating content that bridges humanity and divinity sharing her transformative journey from material success to spiritual awakening triggered by repeatedly seeing the number 11:11.  We began our recording with construction in the background- given our fancy microphones didn't pick it up, we decided to embrace the disruption as symbolic and potentially useful for their discussion.  We discussed how to respond rather than react to life's challenges. Simran shared her personal journey of transformation that began with repeatedly seeing the number 11:11, which led her to a spiritual awakening after living an outwardly successful but inwardly empty life. She described her 10-year journey of surrendering to darkness and embracing her shadow self, during which she cried daily for months after never having cried before age 40. Simran explained her discovery of three aspects of self—identity, shadow/animal, and humanity—and how embracing her full humanity became the doorway to divinity and wholeness. Simran vulnerably shared her experience of financial hardship during a 10-year period where, despite accumulating debt and having no income, she was always taken care of through unexpected opportunities like selling her house. She describes this as a practice of embodied faith, where she allowed herself to fully feel her emotions while simultaneously witnessing them from a place of divine masculine awareness. She explained that by deeply loving herself and trusting in something bigger than herself, she was able to navigate seemingly impossible situations, such as managing three properties while being financially strained, through creative solutions that manifested elegantly when needed. She walks her talk, explaining that mastery is not about having a perfect life, but about maintaining emotional balance through all experiences, emphasizing that everyone is building the muscles to become masters. When I asked about helping people deal with the chaos of current world events, Simran suggested that challenges don't take us down but rather create a detour, opportunities to reframe obstacles, challenges, and even darkness as blessings in disguise that help deconstruct the layers we build in our seven-year developmental cycles, brilliantly using the example of the jackhammers installing new drains outside her home, as a metaphor for how we're collectively backed up with emotions that need release. Simran discussed the importance of looking inward when encountering external conflicts, suggesting that what we see outside is a reflection of what's inside us. She shares her personal journey of confronting narcissism by finding and loving the corresponding parts within herself, including her "inner demon" and self-hate. Simran explained that uncomfortable feelings and experiences are created by neglected parts of ourselves seeking attention, and the value of fully feeling emotions without an agenda to heal or fix them.  Simran and I have incredibly difficult custody battles in common. She shared her difficult journey of motherhood, including a complete separation from one child and limited contact with her 4-year-old son due to circumstances in South Carolina. After years of grief, she realized her tears were not only her own but also those of her ancestors and the collective suffering of others. She eventually sold her home and moved across from her son's high school to be near him energetically, even without regular contact, which has provided her with a sense of connection. Simran shared her philosophy of trusting life's intelligence and embracing simplicity as the first grace we must give ourselves. She explained that freedom comes from releasing attachments and viewing life as a spiritual soul experience rather than an ego-driven one.  Just when we thought the jackhammers were the only sign from the Universe, our conversation was then interrupted by a power shutdown! You can't make this sh&^ up! We both interpreted this as a meaningful sign to unplug, reset, and listen to one's soul rather than acting on impulse. We discussed the importance of recognizing which part of oneself is driving actions and being open to the guidance that comes through everyday disruptions like burst pipes or lost jobs. We concluded our deep conversation, discussing how challenges like divorce can be gifts and opportunities for rebirth. On After The Show on Patreon, we had a blast dancing and pondering love. Simran defined "epiphagasms" as profound spiritual insights and describes orgasmicness as when "I disappear into you, and you disappear into me,” As two single women, we discussed our perspectives on divine love versus human love. Simran expressed that she knows divine love well but questions the value of human love after experiencing an arranged marriage for 20 years, while I suggested that relationships can offer growth through liberating love beyond self-interest. We both acknowledged being in a place of feeling complete on our own but remain curious about what a relationship with someone at their level of spiritual development might offer.

Send us a textThe End of Minus — Mastering Love in A Course in MiraclesWhat if “lack” is just bad math… and love has no minus sign? In this episode, we dive deep into The Mastery of Love as presented in A Course in Miracles and expose the unconscious arithmetic that keeps us counting losses, tracking decline, and budgeting our worth.Using the striking example of negative numbers, we reveal how the ego's logic is expertly designed to organize illusions—without ever touching what's real.✨ Key Highlights:Love has no opposite. Minus values don't exist in truth—so why do we keep living as if they do?Wholeness cannot be fractioned. Withholding love from even one person fractures our awareness of unity.Time scarcity, aging, debt, fixed income, “falling behind”—we unpack all these common scripts as mental accounting errors, not spiritual reality.Atonement as practical correction: Not a payment or negotiation, but the recognition that separation never occurred.Readiness vs accomplishment: Readiness opens the door. Accomplishment is walking through it.Confidence follows mastery—not the other way around. We learn to choose truth consistently without waiting to feel certain first.You'll hear simple, actionable steps to:Notice a feeling without naming it a problem,Drop the story that tries to explain it,Invite reinterpretation from the Holy Spirit,Choose again—this time for love.We illuminate why fear can't be mastered (it's not real) and love can be mastered—by choosing not to abandon it in the smallest moments of everyday life.✨ If you're ready to live without a minus sign… this episode is for you.Press play, subscribe, and share it with a friend who's done measuring life in terms of loss and is ready to remember wholeness.

The 6D Ascension Journey: Judith Corvin-Blackburn “In the 5th-dimensional frequency, nothing is impossible. All our channels are open.” We are in a time of great evolutionary shifts on our planet. Behind the pain and chaos of our current world, a new human is emerging. We are becoming who we have been designed to be, reclaiming our natural higher dimensional nature as we open DNA strands that have been dormant for milleniums and have limited our innate abilities to live in joy, peace and harmony on a planet where all can thrive. Conscious evolution is not an easy path as old conditioning, fears and beliefs that we have been programmed to believe we need for survival or at least for our well-being, arise to interfere. But we all have the ability to activate courage and ultimately own our ability to create a whole new personal and collective reality.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:This episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast features host Ali in an in-depth, compassionate conversation with Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, and sexological bodyworker known for her appearance on Sex, Love & Goop. Together, they explore the intersections of sexuality, embodiment, grief, and healing, discussing how slowing down, attuning to one's body, and embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connection and erotic wholeness. Darshana explains her integrative approach to sexological bodywork—helping clients safely explore pleasure, boundaries, and self-awareness—as well as the broader cultural conditioning that fuels shame, inhibition, and disconnection. Touching on topics from trauma and consent to the cultural devaluation of grief and sensuality, the conversation becomes a profound reflection on how reclaiming our embodied erotic selves is both personal healing and social activism, ultimately a journey toward fuller, freer, and more loving humanityFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE DARSHANA AVILA:BIO:Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for authentic connection. Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.Darshana's work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts including the most downloaded episode of Shameless Sex Podcast in 2024, the goop Podcast and the Sexology Podcast. PROMO LINKdarshanaavila.com (depending on the release date, we might ask that you feature her upcoming retreat darshanaavila.com/radical-rejuvenation)SOCIAL HANDLESinstagram.com/darshana_avilayoutube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaskool.com/galgasmOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Betty Martin's The Brilliant Body Podcast episode: The Receiving and Giving Body with Dr Betty Martin, Creator of The Wheel of ConsentLike A Pro: Training for touch professionalsTHE WHEEL OF CONSENT explainedGwyneth Paltrow's SEX, LOVE and GOOPSexological BodyworkCis-women definition: a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth, which was female. The term "cisgender" comes from the Latin prefix "cis-" meaning "on the same side as," and is used to distinguish people whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth from transgender people whose gender identity differs.Amina Peterson: is an erotic healer, sex doula, surrogate partner, sexual revolutionary and activistBrené Brown's “We Need to Talk ABout Shame” Internal Family SystemsSomatica Method; Celeste Hirschman and Danielle HarrellKairos and Chronos:The Greek New Testament uses two distinct words for time: Chronos, referring to sequential, measurable, or "clock" time, and Kairos, representing opportune, significant, or "God's" time. The fear of Chronos' time is a metaphor for being enslaved by deadlines and schedules, while Kairos is the critical moment for decisive action or significant change. It represents a fleeting window of opportunity for decisive action, a "light bulb moment" where conditions are perfect for a crucial act, such as an archer taking a perfect shot or a weaver working through a narrow gap in their loom. The concept is used in various fields to describe the importance of timeliness and seizing the right moment, such as in rhetoric, advertising, journalism, and religious contexts. Vaginismis: Involuntary spasms of the vaginal muscles that make penetration difficult or impossible.[From time to time, a word or phrase goes wonky.

There's a kind of faith that performs instead of worships, and eventually, that kind of faith breaks down. This week on Win Today, Paul and Hannah McClure from Bethel Music join me to talk about the slow drift from softness to cynicism in the life of a believer. We talk about the orphan spirit, fake faith that looks right but can't hold weight, and how disappointment left untreated eventually hardens into disconnection. We also confront the myth that faith equals certainty, and why true worship isn't just a song; it's surrender in the absence of clarity. For anyone who's battled disillusionment in church, questioned the language of worship, or wondered whether they're singing words they don't believe anymore, this conversation offers both confrontation and comfort. Paul and Hannah don't sugarcoat the road. But they do point to healing. This isn't about emotional hype. It's about reclaiming your heart before it turns cold. You'll learn: Why disappointment often precedes cynicism What the orphan spirit really is—and how it forms How fake faith is often learned, not chosen Why worship without surrender is just noise How to walk with God when certainty disappears Guest Bio Paul and Hannah McClure are worship leaders, songwriters, and pastors with Bethel Music. Known for their vulnerability, depth, and refusal to perform, their ministry helps people reconnect with a God who isn't afraid of pain. They've led a generation to encounter God through honesty, not hype. Their story is one of surrender, resilience, and the long journey back from burnout, cynicism, and emotional numbness.

Today's special guest is Connirae Andreas, PhD.  Learning (and experiencing) her "Core Transformation" and "Wholeness Work" have helped me navigate every aspect of my filmmaking journey from script to production to the big screen and beyond.  On November 4, 2025, Connirae will be hosting a LIVE online training of The Wholeness Work.  To register, and I passionately recommend it to anyone and everyone, visit:https://www.andreasnlp.com/trainings/the-wholeness-work/live-online/level-i/Connirae has been an innovative leader, teacher, and author in the field of personal development and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) for over 4 decades. Connirae and her late husband Steve Andreas were early developers of NLP and wrote and edited many of the first NLP books and training materials, helping to bring NLP into the mainstream.She is best known for creating Core Transformation, a groundbreaking method that turns our limitations into a doorway to experiences many describe as "love", "peace", "presence", or "oneness". Her most recent work, The Wholeness Work, offers a gentle yet precise way to dissolve stress and ego-based patterns, resolving life challenges and opening the door to deep emotional healing. Connirae's discoveries were shaped both by a life-changing encounter with Dr. Milton Erickson in 1979 and by her own multi-year health crisis, which led her to explore the teachings of Indian sage Ramana Maharshi and uncover a profound path to healing and awakening.For more information, visit:https://www.thewholenesswork.org/https://www.andreasnlp.com/trainings/the-wholeness-work/I hope you enjoy this Special Bonus episode.Cheers!Get the Books:Filmmaking ConfidentialAccessing CreativityHow to Find InvestorsWatch the Films: DIKENGA Official Websites: SteveBalderson.comInstagram @dikengaTwitX: @sbaldersonFacebook

In this episode of the Feel Free Again Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Andrea Szegedi, a medical doctor, grief recovery specialist, and founder of a clinic in Budapest, Hungary. Andrea's story is both heartbreaking and deeply inspiring — after losing her third son, she began searching for answers that science, logic, and faith alone couldn't provide. What she discovered was that grief isn't just emotional — it's cellular. It lives in the body, and true recovery means reconnecting the mind, body, and heart. Connect with Dr. Szegedi: https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/grms/andrea-szegedi-md Throughout our conversation, Dr. Andrea Szegedi shares how the Grief Recovery Method gave her stability in the chaos of loss, helping her rebuild her life from the inside out. She opens up about how grief physically affected her body, why expression is the opposite of depression, and how movement, music, and writing became sacred tools for healing. From crawling on the floor to completing two half-marathons, her journey is proof that emotional recovery leads to physical restoration. We also talk about the missing education around grief, how children naturally process loss, and why modern medicine must integrate emotional healing with physical care. Andrea now uses her platform to help parents, cancer patients, and grievers around the world find peace, laughter, and hope again. Whether you're grieving a loved one, your health, or simply trying to understand your emotions — this conversation will help you reconnect with the part of yourself that still believes in wholeness.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Parenting can often feel like a relentless series of checkboxes—milestones to hit, skills to teach, problems to solve. Yet beneath all of this lies something far deeper: the opportunity to cultivate wholeness, authenticity, and love, both in ourselves and in our children.In this episode, When At the Zoo Watch the Humans author Patrick Ney joins Dr. Pete Kelly for a discussion on reframing how we think about parenting. Drawing from his work with All About Parenting and his own personal journey through trauma, Patrick shares a vision of parenting as a deeply human and relational process—one rooted in connection rather than control.This wide-ranging conversation touches on key ideas from Patrick's book, including the metaphor behind When At the Zoo Watch the Humans, the impact of modern media and technology on family life, and the essential importance of community and self-compassion in the parenting journey.Whether you're a parent, clinician, or simply someone interested in human development, this episode offers rich insight into the emotional work of raising—and becoming—whole human beings.Themes & Topics DiscussedThe inspiration behind When At the Zoo Watch the Humans and its central message“Wholeness” as a redefinition of success in parentingHow parents can embrace their natural therapeutic role without feeling overwhelmedBalancing love, discipline, and emotional attunementParenting through the lens of trauma recovery and personal growthThe power of self-compassion and forgiveness in family lifeHow modern technology and media shape emotional developmentThe importance of community and shared experience in parentingPractical strategies for conflict resolution and strengthening parent–child bondsPatrick Ney is the Lead Trainer at All About Parenting, a global parenting education organization.

There's a way to sound spiritually mature while staying completely unformed, and therapy culture is helping people do just that. This week on Win Today, Matt Chandler joins us to confront the drift we're experiencing: where therapy culture replaces repentance, where identity confusion isn't grieved, and where safe Christian jargon sounds right but does nothing to transform the soul. We talk about why discipleship doesn't always feel safe. Why comfort doesn't heal—it sedates. And how complaining isn't just venting; it's forming your view of God. Matt names the thin theology that's left people chasing emotional relief instead of spiritual formation. This conversation doesn't throw stones at therapy. But it does confront what happens when comfort becomes your gospel and language becomes your liturgy. If you've traded formation for slogans, been discipled more by feelings than by truth, or confused Christian language with actual obedience, this conversation isn't just timely—it's necessary.
