Welcome back to The Empowered w/ Deanna Merlino Podcast! In this episode, I focus on the often-unspoken “sisterhood wound,” exploring the emotional challenges and personal growth that come from evolving friendships and seeking authentic connection. One concept I discuss is how personal change can shift relationship dynamics, sometimes leading to a necessary shedding of old friendships and the courage it takes to step into new, aligned circles. A key theme that comes through is the importance of healing childhood and adolescent wounds around belonging and acceptance, as well as questioning societal programming that pits women against each other. The discussion explored the power of embracing your true self, finding safety in vulnerability, and the collective potential that arises when women support and empower one another. I invite you to reflect on your own experiences and consider how releasing old patterns can lead to deeper, more fulfilling connections and a brighter, more empowered community - and us doing this TOGETHER.

What if shame isn't just a feeling, but something that literally rewires your brain? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of shame through the work of psychiatrist Curt Thompson and interpersonal neurobiologist Dan Siegel — unpacking what the mind actually is, why shame finds it such a comfortable home, and how concepts like neuroplasticity and attention hold the key to healing. We'll also draw some unexpected connections between brain science and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether you're a therapy veteran or just trying to make sense of that voice in your head, this one's for you.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Alice Kao on daily authorship, childhood trauma, and six climbing gyms.When Alice Kao was three years old, her mother walked out the door carrying two large suitcases and did not turn around. When she was fourteen, her mother dropped her off alone in America near a school with some cash and left. Alice spent the next thirty years running a story about what that meant , that she was not smart enough, not pretty enough, not worth staying for. That story became the engine. It drove her through surviving alone as a teenager in a country where she did not belong, through a devastating heartbreak in Hong Kong, through building Sender One Climbing into six locations across Southern California and raising six million dollars from 115 community investors.Then she found out the way she interpreted her story was dead wrong. The facts were not what she had believed for thirty years. The wound was real. The story was not.And the voice that generated it is still there every single morning. It still wants to tell that story.If you have ever woken up and felt the weight of a story you cannot shake,  the one that says you are not smart enough, not ready, not worth the room you are about to walk into , this episode is the one you need to hear. Because Alice did not heal the wound. She built a daily discipline around deciding what it means. Every morning she chooses who is at the keyboard through authorship and it is the most underrated business skill a founder can develop. Write your own story.In this episode we go into the phone call that broke the story open, the morning practice Alice has built around narrative authorship, and why imposter syndrome does not have to be gone before you can build something extraordinary.About Alice KaoAlice discovered climbing while living and working in London in 2008, following a difficult breakup. She was inspired by the healing and self-discovery that climbing brought her, which led her to co-found Sender One in 2011 upon returning to the United States with her business partners.Alice hates following rules but loves rallying people to believe in an idea.  She wears her heart on her sleeve and is not afraid to cry in meetings.  She was born and raised in Taiwan and moved to the US when she was 14.  Alice's superpower is her ability to ask for help relentlessly, because no one has all the answers!Connect with Alice KaoWebsite | LinkedIn_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

In this Owaken Podcast episode, Lukis and Hella explore what it truly means to reclaim your personal power by leading from your inner wisdom rather than your unresolved wounds.If you'd like to try my favorite cacao, Ascend, here's a link to check it out:https://ascendmushrooms.co/products/mushroom-infused-ceremonial-cacao?variant=48292269293843In this episode they unpack how survival-based coping mechanisms such as emotional eating, pornography, gambling, social media addiction, and substance use can become attempts to avoid, numb, or regulate difficult emotions. The conversation highlights the importance of self-leadership and “self-parenting” as powerful tools for emotional regulation, healing, and lasting transformation.Key themes include recognizing and breaking unconscious patterns, overcoming people-pleasing and the fawn response, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing authenticity over fear-driven behavior. Lukis and Hella discuss building self-worth, developing self-trust through aligned action, navigating conflict with honesty, and teaching others how to treat you through the standards you set.The episode also explores the impact of unconscious consumption, including endless scrolling and digital distractions, and offers practical insights for living with greater intention, presence, and purpose.00:00 Reclaim Your Power00:40 Welcome and Intentions02:34 Wounds vs Wisdom03:30 Survival Mode Patterns05:44 Coping Mechanisms Loop08:59 Men Purpose Over Pleasure10:28 Self Leadership Parenting11:44 Fawn Response People Pleasing16:10 Authenticity vs Self Abandonment19:54 Boundaries and Worthiness23:13 Speak Up and Be Honest24:46 Ending Excuses With Friends26:06 Reframing People Pleasing27:08 Move Through Shame27:59 Friendship And Friction30:36 Wisdom Versus Wound31:20 Self Trust Signals36:34 Build Trust Daily37:25 Values And Integrity42:26 Focused Timeline Choice43:43 Attention And TikTok50:30 Self Defense Realignment53:08 Final Wise SelfFollow for more insights and inspiration:Follow Owaken:instagram.com/owakenbreathwork Follow Hella Omega:instagram.com/hellaomega Follow Lukis Mac:instagram.com/lukismac Learn more about Owaken Breathwork at:Owaken.com

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with trauma surgeon Mark Shapiro for a no-BS masterclass on wound ballistics. They break down why understanding the physics of penetrating and blast trauma matters in austere and combat environments — even when experience makes you cynical. From high-velocity rifle rounds and their massive temporary cavities to the infectious nightmare of shotgun wounds and the four phases of blast injury, Mark shares hard-won lessons from civilian Level I trauma centers and years training special operations medics and ground surgical teams.They tackle the myths around entry/exit wounds, when (and when not) to explore right upper quadrant gunshot wounds downrange, why you should almost never pack the abdomen or chest from the outside, how to assess neurovascular status in blast-injured extremities, and why bizarre bullet paths and “stable” patients with signs of life can still surprise you.Key Takeaways:Kinetic energy (½mv²) means velocity is king — high-velocity rifle rounds create devastating temporary cavities and fragmentation that can turn one projectile into many.Jacketed rounds still fragment at rifle speeds; never assume a clean through-and-through. Bone fragments act like secondary missiles and can create wounds up to 3x the size of the fragment.For stable patients with right upper quadrant GSWs in resource-limited settings, expectant management can be reasonable — but you must have a plan, know your limits, and be ready to move if things change.Never pack the abdomen or chest from the outside in most cases. It risks pushing debris deeper and worsening injuries. Cover exposed organs if needed, but don't shove gauze into body cavities.Shotgun wounds (especially buckshot/birdshot) are “mobile IEDs” — massive tissue destruction, heavy debris inoculation, and extremely high risk of infection, fistula, and devascularized tissue requiring serial debridement.In extremity blast trauma, assess vascular status (pulses, Doppler signals, color, warmth, capillary refill) and neurologic function. The ~6-hour window to revascularization is critical, but the decision point comes earlier.Training + common sense + adaptability beat rigid protocols when resources are limited. Sometimes the best move is observation.Chapters04:15 – Why Wound Ballistics Knowledge Still Matters (even when you're cynical)08:30 – High-Energy Rifle Wounds: Muzzle Velocity, Kinetic Energy & Spitzer Bullets13:45 – Fragmentation, Tumbling & Secondary Missiles (bone shards & unpredictable paths)18:20 – Clinical Reality: Multiple Injuries & Why “Small Entrance, Big Exit” Is a Myth22:50 – Entry vs. Exit Wounds: When Trajectory Actually Matters (and when it doesn't)26:40 – Right Upper Quadrant GSWs: Explore, Observe, or Expectant Management Downrange?31:10 – The Dangers of Packing Abdominal & Chest Wounds from the Outside34:55 – Low-Energy Pistol Wounds: How They Differ (or Don't) from Rifles37:20 – Shotgun Wounds: Close-Range Carnage, Debris & Infectious Nightmares42:40 – IEDs & Modern Explosives: Blast Physics, Ukraine Patterns & Hard-Ground Effects48:15 – Primary, Secondary, Tertiary & Quaternary Blast Injuries Explained52:30 – Neurovascular Assessment in Blast-Injured Extremities (Conscious & Unconscious Patients)56:45 – Lessons from the Trauma Bay: Common Sense, Training & Knowing When to Deviate from ProtocolFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠

In this episode, I reflect on All the Pretty Horses and the moment John Grady Cole meets Alejandra — not just as a love story, but as a beautiful and tragic opening into adulthood.I explore how young love, desire, fantasy, emerging sexuality, heartbreak, and betrayal become formative terrain for adolescent boys. Through McCarthy's world of light and darkness, I think about how longing can illuminate us and blind us, awaken us and wound us, and how therapy can help young men suffer honestly without turning pain into cruelty, cynicism, or contempt. As McCarthy puts it, “the world's heart beats at some terrible cost,” and much of growing up happens in that painful space “between the wish and the thing.”

Comedian Marc Maron discusses his most recent special — HBO's “Panicked” — and updates us on how he's doing post-podcast, and more importantly, what his cats are up to. Also, Domhnall Gleeson, who plays Ned Sampson in Peacock's “The Paper,” teases Season 2 of the comedy — which has already wrapped production — and discusses how he's become a folk hero for newspaper journalists.

Send us Fan MailWhen Your Husband Is Paying for a Wound He Didn't Cause#marriageadvice #emotionalconnectionWhat if your husband is paying for a wound he didn't cause?For many wives, this is tender territory.Because sometimes the issue in marriage is not only what your husband said, did, or failed to do.Sometimes he bumps into an old wound that was already there.A wound from rejection. Abandonment. Disappointment. Or a story from the past that still feels true today.And when that happens, his love may have to pass through fear before it can be received.In this episode, we talk about what happens when a wife carries an old wound into her marriage—and how her husband can begin to feel like he is constantly being asked to prove he is not like the man who hurt her.This is not about blaming a wife for her pain.And it is not about excusing a husband.It is about learning to see the difference between what your husband caused… and what he may be bumping into.Because if the wound keeps interpreting his actions, he may end up paying for pain he never created.

Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.)The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life. Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville.The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending.

Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville.The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending.

Why do anomalous experiences so often arrive in the wake of trauma? And what happens when the people who understand that connection decide to use it as a weapon? This episode of Inquiry follows trauma as the hidden throughline connecting UFOs, consciousness, psychological operations, and the engineering of belief at scale. Kelly Chase starts with how human perception actually works, drawing on Donald Hoffman's "The Case Against Reality," James Madden's umwelt and über-umwelt from "Unidentified Flying Hyperobject," and Jeffrey Kripal's Filter Thesis, then grounds it all in the predictive processing model of the brain and Karl Friston's free energy principle. The picture that emerges is unsettling: trauma doesn't only wound a person, it makes them porous, loosening the filters that hold consensus reality in place. From there the conversation turns toward how that vulnerability has been exploited. It traces belief manipulation from the 1980 "From PSYOP to MindWar" paper by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely, through MKULTRA and Operation Mockingbird, to the declassified reality of Operation Northwoods and the manufacturing of consent. It brings in Jacques Vallée's control system hypothesis and Colm Kelleher's concept of bidirectional mimicry to ask whether human institutions and the phenomenon itself may be using the same lever: disruption, destabilization, and the reshaping of belief in the rupture's aftermath. Then it turns the dread on its head. Research on openness to experience and Post-Traumatic Growth suggests the architects of mass stress made a critical miscalculation. Trauma creates openings, and openings go both ways. You can crack the shell of consensus reality to make people malleable, but you cannot control what hatches. Topics explored: Trauma and anomalous experience | experiencer patterns | the Filter Thesis | Donald Hoffman | perception as interface | umwelt and über-umwelt | James Madden | Jeffrey Kripal | predictive processing | Karl Friston | free energy principle | belief malleability | shattered assumptions | meaning violation | belief engineering | MindWar | Michael Aquino | Paul Vallely | psychological operations | MKULTRA | Operation Mockingbird | cognitive sovereignty | bidirectional mimicry | Colm Kelleher | black triangle craft | Jacques Vallée | control system hypothesis | Operation Northwoods | manufactured consent | openness to experience | Post-Traumatic Growth | consciousness-level immune response | non-human intelligence | contact experiences Inquiry with Kelly Chase is brought to you by SpectreVision Radio.Produced in partnership with Voltage.fm.  Referenced In This Episode The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes — Donald Hoffman (2019) Unidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World — James Madden (2023) How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else — Jeffrey J.

Why does the title never feel like enough? Why do so many of us hit every goal we set and still go to bed feeling like we came up short? My guest this week has a name for it. Brooke Taylor calls it the success wound, the pain that comes from mistaking our productivity and achievement for our worth. We get into where it comes from, why creative people are especially prone to it, and what it actually looks like to stay ambitious without running yourself into the ground. If you have ever caught yourself answering "How are you?" with "busy" and felt a little proud of it, this one is for you.In this conversation, we coverWhat the success wound is, and why Brooke describes it as a cultural wounding rather than a personal failingWhy "you are not your work" is so hard to live out when your work carries your worldview and your voiceHow the meaning of hard work flipped over time, from a marker of the working class to a badge of statusThe three things Brooke found that nearly all "unfulfilled achievers" shareHer own story: managing eighty million dollars in ad revenue at Google by twenty-four, and what it cost herThe difference between manic ambition and aligned ambition, and why they can look identical from the outsideThe "two power sources" behind all ambition, and how to tell which one is running your engineTwo questions you can ask yourself this week to spot when you have slipped into the woundApproximate timestamps00:00 Welcome and why this phrase stopped me in my tracks01:00 Defining the success wound03:00 Creativity as a conversation, and how the industrial age rewired our sense of worth05:00 How Silicon Valley resets your definition of "enough"06:00 The three things unfulfilled achievers have in common08:00 Brooke's story: Google, recovery, and a hard reckoning09:00 What organizations get out of the success wound, and the high achiever ceiling11:00 Choice, gears, and the two settings that lead to burnout12:00 Manic ambition vs. aligned ambition13:00 The lamp metaphor: the success wound or the true self14:00 Writing a book at 5 a.m. while pregnant, and why that was aligned, not manic16:00 Two questions to catch yourself in the wound17:00 Where to find BrookeA few lines worth sitting withBrooke describes the success wound as the pain that comes from tying our worth to what we produce and achieve, rather than to who we are.On ambition, she offers a simple image: it runs on one of two power sources, the success wound or the true self. Same hard work, very different fuel.And one telltale sign you are operating out of the wound, in her words, is that you keep repeating the same patterns and expecting them to feel different.About Brooke TaylorBrooke Taylor is a transformational career coach, keynote speaker, and the leading authority on the success wound, a phenomenon she pioneered through more than a decade of research.

Victoria shares why the belief that "I have to work hard to make money" is often about much more than money. For many entrepreneurs, it traces back to deeper experiences around love, approval, worthiness, and what it took to feel valued growing up.If you've ever felt like you have to constantly prove yourself, stay productive, or work hard to deserve success, this episode will help you uncover where those beliefs may have come from and how they're affecting your ability to receive "with ease."If this episode resonated with you and you're realizing that your hard work wound may be rooted in deeper beliefs around worthiness, love, approval, or safety, this is exactly the kind of work I help my private clients with.In my 4-month 1:1 coaching program, we use EFT tapping to uncover and clear the subconscious blocks keeping you stuck in the cycle of overworking, proving yourself, and feeling like you have to earn your success.The program includes weekly Zoom calls and Voxer support between sessions.

If you've ever felt like being fully yourself would make you harder to love, this episode is for you. Vanessa Bennett explores how the too much wound and the not enough wound are often the same core fear: that authentic selfhood threatens belonging. We talk about the way self-editing becomes a survival strategy—somatically, relationally, culturally—and how “being good” can masquerade as maturity while actually costing you your aliveness. The work isn't “just be yourself”—it's staying connected to yourself even when your full humanity makes other people uncomfortable.For educational purposes only.

What if the very thing driving your success is quietly breaking you? Brooke Taylor, Enneagram Three, career coach, and author of Healing the Success Wound,  joins me for a searingly honest conversation about achievement, identity, and spiritual hunger.. Brooke grew up in Silicon Valley where worth was measured in gold stars, landed at Google by her early twenties, and found herself drowning in a success she couldn't feel. We talk about the success wound which, as Brooke describes it, is the pain that comes from mistaking productivity and achievement for self-worth — the deeply installed belief that the more you produce and achieve, the more worthy of love and belonging you become. This wound isn't just for Enneagram Threes. It's a human condition — and it shows up differently depending on your type, your culture, your family system, and what "success" looks like in your particular world.  We talk through Brooke's five types of unfulfilled achievers — the grinder, the hider, the seeker, the work-hard-play-hard, and the pleaser — and I couldn't help mapping those to the Enneagram types in real time. We also get into the distinction between the true self, the wounded self, and the socialized (or protector) self — a framework rooted in Internal Family Systems and gestalt psychology that I think will resonate deeply with longtime Typology listeners. Whether you're a Three or you love one, this episode is for you.     Guest Bio: Brooke Taylor is a certified career coach, speaker, and the author of Healing the Success Wound. A self-identified Enneagram Three, Brooke built her coaching practice specifically for women navigating the intersection of ambition, identity, and fulfillment — though her framework applies broadly across genders. Her research includes a survey of more than 5,000 high-achieving professionals who identified as unfulfilled, which forms the empirical backbone of her five-type model of the unfulfilled achiever. A veteran of Google and a long-term member of recovery communities, Brooke brings both lived experience and rigorous research to her work. She is the founder of the Lined Ambition framework and writes and coaches at the crossroads of psychology, spirituality, and career development. Learn more at brooketaylor.co.

How to navigate friendship at work without losing the relationship, with Brooke TaylorShe's your lunch buddy, your Slack confidante, your person at work. But what happens when boundaries get blurry, or you start sensing competition where there used to be camaraderie? Workplace friendships between women are some of the most meaningful connections we form as adults, and some of the most complicated to maintain.In this episode, Danielle sits down with executive career coach and former Google marketing lead Brooke Taylor to tackle three of the most common questions women ask about navigating friendship at work. They dig into why mismatched expectations between "colleagues first" and "friends first" cause so much friction, how the success wound fuels jealousy and comparison with the women closest to you, and what happens when entrepreneur friendships blur the line between support and strategy-sharing.

Donna Hicks spent three decades at the world's hardest conflict tables and found one hidden injury beneath them all: a violation of human dignity. From the Middle East to Northern Ireland, she watched negotiations stall not over policy, but over something no one in the room had named. This episode is the word that changed everything, and the model she built around it.Dr Donna Hicks, author of Leading with Dignity and Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, spent her career as a third party in unofficial diplomacy across the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Colombia and Northern Ireland. She co-facilitated the BBC series Facing the Truth alongside Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and her earlier book, Dignity, reshaped how the world understands conflict, connection and leadership. This one runs close to home for me. As a young boy from a Pied-Noir family — French people of European origin who had left Algeria after its independence — newly arrived in Nice, I was once told by a schoolmate to “get out of here.” I came home devastated. My father's answer, that I should be proud of where I came from and that I had something real to give, was dignity restored long before either of us had a word for it.In our conversation, we explore: → Why respect is earned but dignity is not, and how leaders who confuse the two quietly damage their teams → The ten elements of dignity, and the single one that 80% of employees say is violated most at work → What happened when the BBC sat victims and perpetrators face to face, and why healing did not require forgiveness → Why Donna now teaches dignity to eight-year-olds, and her advice to young leaders entering a harder world → Mandela consciousness: the three connections that rebuild dignity in any team, family or boardroom"I don't believe we need to find common ground. I believe we need to find higher ground." - Dr Donna Hicks, Harvard UniversityIf you have ever watched a meeting derail over something that was never really about the agenda, this conversation hands you the missing word, and a practical model for what to do next.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode dives into the hidden emotional patterns so many high achievers are carrying… and why success still doesn't feel like enough.Yup, this episode is for all of us who have crushed those work goals, hit a promotion, but yet,  weirdly still feels empty on the other side of it. Brooke Taylor…a career coach, former Google leader, and author of Healing the Success Wound  unpacks why so many of us (especially high-achieving women) tie our self-worth to our output and end up burned out, anxious, and chasing a finish line that keeps moving. Brooke breaks down what a "success wound" actually is, the three roots of where it comes from (hint, hint...it's cultural, psychological, and emotional), and why your childhood gold stars might still be running your nervous system today. She also gets real about her own rock-bottom moment: sexual harassment at Google, her dad's terminal cancer diagnosis, and getting sober at 24, all in the same month. But from that. Brooke shares the first thing that truly began healing her own success wounds and why redefining success may be the key to finally feeling fulfilled. If you've ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish it's still not enough… this episode is going to hit home. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS A success wound = when you only feel valuable when you're achieving. Brooke calls it the "empty cup." Every win you pour in (the promotion, the money, the applause) drains right back out because the cup itself is cracked.  There are 3 roots of the success wound: Cultural ( we were trained to measure our worth by what we produce), Psychological (childhood taught us that love and approval are earned by performing), Emotional (we lost touch with who we are underneath what we do) Awareness is where the healing starts. The moment you can name the wound, you take your power back. You're not broken — you're conditioned, and conditioning can be rewired.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Brooke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookevtaylor/ Follow Brooke on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brooketaylorcareercoach?lang=en Website: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/ Where To Get Healing the Success Wound: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/successwound/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

If you've been questioning spirituality, feeling trapped by self-development, or constantly trying to “fix” yourself to manifest the life you want, this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air. In this deeply vulnerable and unfiltered conversation, Marley Rose Harris shares a life-changing realization she received during meditation about what she calls the “new age spirituality wound” and how chasing external answers disconnected her from her own inner truth.Drawing from her recent time in Nosara, meditation practices, heartbreak, healing, and her evolving philosophy around spirituality and manifestation, Marley explores how modern spirituality can sometimes become another form of control, shame, avoidance, and dependency. She opens up about losing trust in herself, restricting her life in the name of being “spiritual,” and the breakthrough that finally brought her back to freedom, presence, and self-trust.This episode is raw, real-time processing, and one of Marley's most honest conversations yet.What You'll LearnWhat the “new age spirituality wound” actually is and how it keeps people stuckHow modern spirituality can disconnect you from your own intuition and inner sourceWhy trying to control life is the opposite of true spiritualityThe deeper meaning of spirituality and the origin of the word “spirit”How Marley realized she had stopped fully living in the name of being “spiritual”The connection between control, avoidance, shame, and self-development cultureWhy heartbreak, grief, and difficult emotions can actually be deeply spiritual experiencesThe difference between guidance and dependency when it comes to coaches, mentors, and healersThe “wave analogy” for navigating life instead of resisting itWhy the most spiritual thing you can do is fully experience your lifeKey Quotes“The most spiritual thing that you can do is live.”“You already have everything within you.”“This new age spirituality wound is a prison.”“I stopped living because I thought I was spiritual.”“Trying to control life is actually the opposite of spirituality.”“When you resist life, you become disoriented.”“The answer is not outside of you.”“You are your own source of everything.”Resources:

But what if that belief is exactly what's been holding you back?In this episode, we're unpacking the Good Girl Wound: the exhausting cycle of over-giving, people-pleasing, and abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. We get into empathy burnout, fawning, why setting boundaries for the first time makes you feel like the villain, and the difference between healing and hardening.If you've ever poured so much into others that you forgot to save anything for yourself, hit the play button.

I dive into the concept of “mother hunger” - the hidden emotional wound that drives many men to seek constant approval, validation, and reassurance from women. I explore how early experiences with emotional neglect, inconsistency, or disconnection from our mothers can quietly shape our identity, relationships, and sense of self-worth as adults. We'll unpack the signs of mother hunger, how it shows up in relationships, and the difficult but necessary work required to heal it. If you've ever felt emotionally destabilized by a woman's disappointment or approval, this episode will help you understand why - and what to do about it.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - What Is Mother Hunger?02:05 - How Childhood Shapes Male Identity05:18 - When Her Disappointment Feels Like a Crisis06:27 - Hypervigilance Around Women's Emotions07:53 - The Collapse of Self-Worth08:52 - How Men Seek Validation From Women09:45 - Why Female Attention Never Feels Like Enough10:05 - Admitting the Wound Is There11:02 - Grieving What You Didn't Receive13:05 - Building Identity Independent of Women14:48 - Developing Internal Validation15:42 - The Real Cost of Mother Hunger17:18 - Discovering Who You Actually Are18:42 - Stop Asking Women for Permission20:05 - How Healing Changes Relationships21:02 - Dissolving the Need for Approval***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

In yet another hysterical installment from this show, a young woman has the temerity to venture to the big city from her idyllic suburban life and immediately pays the price for that transgression. This being Law & Order: SVU, that price makes her a special victim. Here, a topsharking for hire--don't worry, we didn't know what that meant either--goes sideways real fast because Warren Leight's New York is teeming with monsters, and that's especially true at Wild Yaks shows. Don't worry, though, because Connecticutians do not get off scot-free here. The Big Apple may be scary, but the Constitution State is rotten to the core.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, Matt, and Elyse R - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Welcome to We Love to Hate Everything — your weekly dose of reality TV chaos, pop culture breakdowns, and brutally honest commentary.If it's messy, cringey, dramatic, or completely unhinged… we're watching it.From Bravo to TLC to viral TikTok moments, we recap the shows everyone's talking about (and the ones they probably shouldn't be

In this episode, we reflect on how Pentecost is more than just an event of the past, but can be an ongoing outpouring of God's love and grace in our lives today. We discuss how the Holy Spirit helps heal our wounds, restores communion with God, and teaches us how to live with power and boldness, even in the places where we feel unable to love the Lord. As we prepare our hearts for Pentecost, we talk practically about cultivating a posture of receptivity, learning to invite the Holy Spirit more deeply into our hearts, and how to allow His fire to illuminate our identity and transform us from within. The Holy Spirit is alive within us, able to enter even the locked places of our hearts, and desires to help us bear much fruit in our lives.   Heather's One Thing - Pentecost | Holy Spirit Rest on Us Playlist Heather's Other One Thing - Wild Goose Series with Fr. Dave Pivonka Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Discerning Hearts Podcast App Michelle's One Thing - College Graduations   Other Resources Mentioned: Be Transformed Book Study   Journal Questions: How can I make myself more open to encounter the Holy Spirit pirit this Pentecost? Where in my life do I feel powerless? Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to make me more like Jesus? How am I rationing the boldness of the Holy Spirit? Where do I need to unlock the doors of my heart?   Discussion Questions: How can you welcome the Holy Spirit into your life in a deeper way?  What does it look like to experience the Holy Spirit in community? What gifts of the Holy Spirit do you desire to empower your work of building the Kingdom of God? How will you celebrate Pentecost?   Quotes to Ponder: "If there be among the gifts of God none greater than love, and there is no greater gift of God than the Holy Spirit, what follows more naturally than that He is Himself love…." (Saint Augustine)   "This great mystical tradition . . . shows how prayer can progress, as a genuine dialogue of love, to the point of rendering the person wholly possessed by the divine Beloved, vibrating at the Spirit's touch, resting filially within the Father's heart." (Pope Saint John Paul II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, Paragraph 33)   "A noble and delicate soul ... follows faithfully the faintest breath of the Holy Spirit; it rejoices in this Spiritual Guest and holds onto Him like a child to its mother." (The Diary of St. Faustina, Entry 148) Scripture for Lectio: "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight." (Acts 1:4-9)   Sponsor - Mary's Meals: Every mother knows what it's like to want to protect their child and provide for them, to make sure there's food on the table, to make sure her child is safe, cared for, and able to grow into who God created them to be. But for millions of mothers around the world, hunger stands in the way of that hope. Their children walk to school carrying empty bowls, wondering if today they'll have anything to eat. And that's where Mary's Meals steps in. Mary's Meals provides one daily meal in a place of education for children living in some of the world's poorest communities. And that simple meal becomes the reason a child comes to school. Once they're there, everything can begin to change. Education can become a pathway out of poverty.  So a child who is hungry can focus.  A child who is vulnerable can dream.  And a mother who felt helpless can begin to hope again.  What we love most about Mary's Meals is how ordinary people get to become a part of that story. We don't have to solve global hunger. We simply have to feed one child. And here's the beautiful thing. It only costs $25.20 to feed a child for an entire school year.  That's one child sitting in a classroom instead of sitting at home hungry. One mother experiencing relief instead of worry.  One life changed through a simple act of love. So if your hearts are moved to help, we invite you to join us in supporting Mary's Meals. You can head over to their website marysmealsusa.org (or marysmeals.ca for Canada) and together we can offer hope, dignity and a daily meal to a child who needs it most.    Timestamps: 00:00 Mary's Meals 01:39 Introduction 02:26 Welcome 03:24 Scripture Verse and Quote to Ponder 04:39 Preparing Our Hearts 07:34 Healing the Wound of Powerlessness  09:26 The Holy Spirit Enables Us to Love 11:04 Inviting the Holy Spirit into Our Hearts 12:50 Our Advocate and the Forgiveness of Sins 15:10 "It is Better that I Go" 17:14 Baptized with Fire 19:15 Bearing Fruit in Our Lives 20:57 When We Restrict the Holy Spirit 22:50 Receiving the Holy Spirit within Community 28:08 Being Inspired by the Holy Spirit 31:04 One Things
