Podcasts about wounds

Joined by Nurse Nicole to discuss childhood traumas stemming from the father, and how it affects male health. From disruptive cortisol, hormonal imbalance, gut dysbiosis, and communication patterns to addiction, attention seeking, and hypervigilance. How does our body internalize this pattern, and why does our nervous system and subconscious take over?   Follow Nicole at IG @hold_thelineclnc X @Hennac03 https://www.americaoutloud.news/category/podcasts/nurses-out-loud/ The Nurses Report podcast    #abuse #emotionallyunavailable #trauma #substanceabuse #mentalhealth #cortisol #gutdysbiosis #emotionalinstability #learnedbehavior

Lyons! And guess what!? She's here with her new book, Honor Thy Mother, that's just released TODAY as this episode airs!Many of us carry pain from complicated relationships with our mothers but don't feel permission to name it, especially in the Church. Dr. Sarita helps to unpack the heart behind her new book, Honor Thy Mother: How to Grieve, Heal, and Make Peace with Your Mother Wounds, and remind us that sharing the truth about our pain is not the same as dishonor.Tune in for an honest, biblical conversation about healing mother wounds, honoring a parent even when it's difficult to do so, how to set healthy boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.If you're grieving the mother you needed, navigating estrangement, afraid of repeating generational wounds with your own children, or learning how to honor a difficult parent, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation helps you name what hurts, invite God into it, and take a faithful step toward grief, healing, freedom, and peace.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if eating nutritious food isn't enough because what really matters is what your body can actually digest, absorb, and utilize?In Episode 150 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Dr. Ryan Jones, a Doctor of Oriental and Complementary Medicine with decades of experience spanning traditional healing systems, nutritional medicine, supplement formulation, and manufacturing.The conversation begins with monolaurin—the monoglyceride of lauric acid at the heart of Lauricidin®—and expands into a much bigger discussion about gut health, the microbiome, food sensitivities, probiotics, fermented foods, immune health, supplement quality, and why improving health usually requires much more than simply adding another pill or supplement.Dr. Jones explains why Lauricidin comes in tiny pellets, why he recommends starting with small amounts and gradually increasing intake, and how he believes monolaurin fits into a broader approach to digestive and immune health.Michael and Ryan also dig into coconut oil and lauric acid, leaky gut, Candida, probiotics, homemade sauerkraut and kefir, food sensitivities, topical products, and what Ryan has learned from working inside the supplement and cosmetic manufacturing industries.In This EpisodeWhat monolaurin and glycerol monolaurate areLauric acid, coconut oil, and MCT oilsWhy Lauricidin is made as small pelletsWhy Dr. Jones recommends starting low and increasing slowlyDigestion, absorption, and the idea that "it's not what you eat—it's what you absorb"The gut microbiome and dysbiosisWhy there may be no single "magic bullet" for chronic health problemsFood sensitivities and Dr. Jones' experience with NAETWhat may contribute to increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"Probiotics, fermented foods, kefir, and homemade sauerkrautColloidal silver and topical antimicrobial approachesOral health, toothpaste, lotions, deodorant, and other Lauricidin productsLow-potency supplements and what Dr. Jones calls the "pixie dust effect"What decades of supplement formulation have taught him about the industryHow Dr. Jones personally incorporates Lauricidin into his lifestyleEpisode Timestamps00:00 — You Can't Drug the Body Back to Health00:48 — Meet Dr. Ryan Jones03:39 — What Is Lauricidin and Monolaurin?06:36 — Monolaurin, Lauric Acid & Breast Milk08:43 — Coconut Oil vs. Concentrated Monolaurin10:48 — Why Lauricidin Uses Pellets13:18 — Eastern Medicine Meets Modern Formulation15:22 — Caprylic, Capric & Lauric Acid Explained19:50 — It's Not What You Eat—It's What You Absorb21:48 — Monolaurin and the Gut Microbiome24:08 — What Research Would Dr. Jones Fund?27:35 — Why One Intervention May Not Be Enough31:14 — Colloidal Silver & Topical Approaches32:27 — Wounds, Scarring & Secondary Infection35:44 — Herpes, Shingles & Viral Load Discussion38:28 — Monolaurin, COVID & Immune Health40:26 — Food Sensitivities and NAET42:06 — Why There Is No Health "Magic Bullet"44:20 — Which Microorganisms Are Most Susceptible?48:23 — What Causes "Leaky Gut"?50:46 — Dr. Jones' Gut Health Approach54:19 — Probiotics, Kefir & Homemade Sauerkraut58:15 — Oral Health, Toothpaste & Lauricidin Products1:02:57 — Natural Deodorant & the Skin Microbiome1:05:00 — What the Supplement Industry Gets Wrong1:06:33 — Low Potency & the "Pixie Dust" Problem1:09:47 — How Dr. Jones Uses Lauricidin Personally1:11:23 — Final ThoughtsDr. Ryan Jones & LauricidinDr. Ryan Jones: https://www.lauricidin.com/collections/dr-ryanLauricidin®: https://www.lauricidin.com/Dr. Jones' Gut Health Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-protocol-for-gut-health-using-monolaurin-by-dr-ryan-jonesDr. Jones' Leaky Gut Support Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-leaky-gut-support-using-lauricidin-by-dr-ryan-jonesLauricidin Pro — Health Professional Resources: https://www.lauricidin.pro/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauricidin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lauricidin/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lauricidinX: https://x.com/lauricidinFull Episode ResourcesShow notes, video, resources, and additional information: https://drhaley.com/monolaurin-gut-health/About The Dr. Haley ShowThe Dr. Haley Show explores health, nutrition, natural medicine, longevity, the microbiome, lifestyle, and unconventional ideas about human health.Hosted by Dr. Michael Haley. https://drhaley.com/Haley Nutrition: https://haleynutrition.com/Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Why Rejection Hits So Hard and How to Stop Letting It Define You Have you ever been blindsided by a betrayal so complete that it did not just shatter your marriage — it shattered the story you believed about yourself? One moment you thought you knew who you were, who he was, and who God was to you. And then the truth came out, and suddenly nothing felt certain anymore. In this episode, Leslie sits down with Emmy Award-winning television producer, author, and Chief Creative Officer of Joyce Meyer Ministries, Ginger Stache, co-author of the new book Healing the Wounds of Rejection. Ginger shares with remarkable honesty how the discovery of her husband's long-hidden pornography addiction brought her to her knees — not only in her marriage, but in her identity and her faith. Together, Leslie and Ginger unpack the specific lies rejection plants in a woman's heart, why feeling the pain of rejection is not weakness but proof you were made for love, and how God meets women in the darkness with healing they never saw coming. Key Takeaways   Rejection Attacks Your Identity, Not Just Your Relationship When Ginger discovered her husband's pornography addiction, she was not only stunned by the betrayal — she was stunned by how quickly it rewrote her story about herself. The questions came fast: What did I do wrong? Why am I not enough? Am I even lovable? Leslie points out that this is exactly what rejection does in a destructive relationship — it does not stay in the marriage, it moves into the marrow of who you believe you are. The critical first step is recognizing that what he chose is not a verdict on your worth. It is not a statement about you. The Lies Rejection Tells Are Predictable — and They Can Be Named and Refused Ginger identifies the most common lies rejection whispers: I will never be accepted. There is something fundamentally wrong with me. I cannot become who God made me to be because I am too broken. The key distinction she draws is between being rejected — which happens to every human being, including Jesus himself — and living rejected, which means allowing those lies to become part of your identity. Naming the lie is the first act of resistance. Replacing it with the truth of God's word is how the healing begins, one lie at a time. Feeling the Pain of Rejection Is Not Weakness — It Is What It Means to Be Human One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is Ginger's confession that she was ashamed of how hard rejection knocked her down — because she thought her faith made her stronger than that. Research confirms that the brain processes social rejection through the same pain pathways as a broken bone. God created you for love and connection, which means the ache of rejection is not a character flaw. It is the cost of being someone who loves. Leslie adds her own story of unexpectedly sobbing in a parking lot after being turned away at a pickleball court — and recognizing it as an old childhood wound asking to be seen and healed. Self-compassion, not self-criticism, is what opens the door. The Story of Leah Tells Us What Healing Actually Looks Like Ginger and Leslie turn to the story of Leah in Genesis 29 as one of the most honest and hope-filled pictures of what it looks like to move from rejection to rest. Married to a man who openly preferred her sister, Leah spent years trying to earn love through her children. But by her fourth son, something shifted. She stopped saying, Surely he will love me now, and said instead, This time I will praise the Lord. Healing did not look like Jacob finally choosing her. It looked like Leah choosing God as her source — finding that his love was not conditional on what her husband did or did not give her. That same shift is available to you. You Have a Choice — and Reclaiming It Is Where Healing Starts One of the most empowering threads running through this conversation is the call to reclaim your ability to choose in the middle of circumstances you did not choose. You did not choose his addiction. You did not choose his betrayal. But you can choose whether to believe the lie or the truth. You can choose faith over feelings that feel more real right now. You can choose to risk loving again because, as Ginger says, not loving anyone is a far worse fate than being hurt while loving. Leslie draws on the story of Joseph — thrown into slavery and into prison by rejection at every turn — as a biblical witness to the truth that rejection does not have to define you. The path forward begins with that one small, courageous choice. Personal Invitation If this conversation is stirring something deep in you — if you recognize the lies Ginger described, if you have been carrying the weight of rejection in your body, your identity, and your faith for longer than you want to admit — you do not have to keep doing this alone. Leslie's Walking in Core Strength community is a group coaching experience designed to help you stay rooted in truth, respond with wisdom and compassion, and stop losing yourself to patterns that are costing you everything. This is your invitation to take a step toward the woman God made you to be. https://leslievernick.com/strong Closing Encouragement You were created by a God who does not reject. He pursues. He sees. He binds up wounds. And on the days when rejection has knocked you so far down that you can barely whisper the words — God, do you even love me? — he is already answering. You never have to beg for my love. It is always here for you. Whatever has been done to you, whatever lies have taken root, whatever chapter of your story feels irredeemable right now — God is not finished. He is working layer by layer, step by step, in ways you cannot yet see. And one day, you will look back and know that he had his hand on you the entire time. You are not alone. You are not unloved. And rejection does not get the last word. God does.  

God forgets all our sins, past, present and future; that is He forgets the sins of those who love Him!

Not sure why you're carrying a low-grade anger or sadness you can't explain? This episode might tell you why. Bryson and Randy dig into what actually qualifies as a loss — from everyday disappointments to the deeper "underlying wounds" from our families of origin — and why so many of us are grieving without realizing it. They unpack the difference between recent losses and older, unresolved wounds, why Randy believes grief is never fully "one and done," and how naming our losses honestly is where real healing starts. If something in this episode named a feeling you couldn't place before, that's worth sitting with — and if you know someone who's been carrying something they can't quite explain, this episode might be the nudge they need.

"Every decision I've ever made in my life, good and bad, has been in an effort to get my father to tell me he loved me." This one moves in three parts: the apology you owe your kids, the dance you are still in with your own dad, and the forgiveness that sets you free. It starts at a kitchen table, where a dad raising his voice over math homework suddenly recognizes the scene, because he lived it at his son's age, on the other side of the table. Psychologist Dr. Kelly Flanagan takes the question everyone asks after a moment like that, "Did I repair it okay?", and reframes the whole thing: your kids don't need you to be perfect, and an apology is a gift, because it teaches them they don't have to be perfect either. Then Ryland Englehart of Cafe Gratitude gets asked for a painful memory of his father and lands somewhere more honest: gratitude first, and a dance with his dad's expectations that is still alive today, because a son spends his life trying to prove his father wrong or make his father proud. And then Michael Chernow, who built The Meatball Shop and Seamore's, answers the hardest version of the question: have you forgiven him? What follows- a father lost during Chernow's addiction, and the moment years later when he finally heard the words he had been chasing- is one of the most powerful stretches of tape in our archive.   IN THIS EPISODE: The kitchen-table moment: recognizing your own childhood wound mid-yell "We worry from our wounds": why your reaction is about you before it is about them Flanagan on why apologizing to your kids is a gift, not a failure The empathy-vs-boundaries pendulum our generation of parents swings on Englehart on the expectations dance with his dad, still running today "Prove his father wrong or make his father proud": the paradigm most men live inside Chernow on hating his father, losing him, and the breathwork session where he finally heard "I love you" What forgiveness actually freed him to build at home

According to research, Gen Z can detect a false compliment from a mile away. While the intention might be kindness, the members of that generation value something deeper: genuine respect and honesty. Not looking to be flattered, they want to be believed in. When truth is spoken, they feel respected, taken seriously, and are challenged to grow. But this is likely true for most of us. Psalm 141:5 gives voice to this wisdom. David wrote, “Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me.” In his prayer to God, he asked that he would welcome loving wounds from friends as kindness (v. 2; see also Proverbs 27:6). David was intimating that real love doesn’t dodge difficult conversations. It tells the truth, not to shame people, but to help be drawn to God and not “be drawn to what is evil” (Psalm 141:4). This passage reminded David’s listeners that wise, truthful feedback isn’t about tearing others down but building them up. Let’s not fear receiving correction from the right sources, and let’s not shy away from offering it either. We don’t need more sugar-coated words. We need people who are willing to speak the truth in love. Sometimes, the words that sting the most are the ones that build us, heal us, and help us become who God made us to be.

Have you ever posted something that felt too messy, too unfiltered, almost embarrassing to hit share on, and then watched it outperform every polished piece of content you've ever made? Yeah, me too. And it happens more than you'd think. In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down something I've been calling the polished paradox, and why the more perfect your content looks, the more distance it actually creates between you and the people you're trying to reach. Here's the big shift. We've all been trained to think that better production means better results. Cleaner lighting, tighter scripts, a perfect edit. But the truth is, people can smell a performance from a mile away. The best piece of content I ever made cost me nothing. No lighting, no script, no editor. Just me on the side of the road, in my truck, on my phone. That one moment broke my brain open to a simple idea. You don't need all the fancy stuff. You just need a real message and the guts to share it. Here's what stood out most from the episode. Authenticity is the real currency now, not production value. 92% of marketers believe their content is authentic, but over half of consumers say it isn't. That gap right there is where your reach is dying. Nine out of ten consumers say authenticity decides which brands they support, and 63% trust real people over brands talking about themselves. AI can make anything look expensive now, so production value isn't the differentiator anymore. Being real is. The beautiful mess effect is backed by actual science. Back in 1966, researcher Elliot Aronson found that a guy who fumbled at the end of an interview was rated more likable, but only if he'd already shown he was competent. Skill first, mess second. That combo builds trust fast. Keep your stumbles in. Let the edits be a little imperfect. It works. The campfire standard changes everything. I run backcountry masterminds out in Montana, completely off the grid. Day one, everyone shows up polished, elevator pitches, clean numbers, the whole show. By night three, the masks come off. The real stuff comes out, the struggles, the doubts, the wins nobody expected. Nobody thinks less of anyone in that moment. Everyone respects them more. That's the standard I want you thinking about with your content. Talk like you're at a campfire, not presenting on a stage. Share the scar, not the wound. There's a difference between processed pain and raw pain. Scars mean you've healed and gained perspective. Wounds are still open. Use your story once you've made it to the other side. That's what makes vulnerability land as leadership instead of just venting. Your own judgment of what's too vulnerable is usually wrong. The post you're most nervous to share is almost always the one that connects the deepest. I've seen it happen over and over. The content that feels risky to post is usually the content people needed to see. At the end of the day, this all comes back to trust. Authenticity isn't a marketing tactic, it's a way of showing up in your business and your life that actually lines up with who you are. When you stop performing and start connecting, everything shifts. Your engagement grows. Your relationships deepen. And honestly, you just feel more like yourself. If any of this hit home, go listen to the full episode where I break down the psychology behind it all, the studies, the stories, and exactly how to apply the campfire standard to your own content.

In this episode, Dr. Alison shares how her own prayer life changed as she became more securely attached—and the surprising shift that she didn't understand at first.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why intensity can feel like closeness—even when it isn't security What attachment research reveals about why some relationships feel so consuming The subtle shifts that happen as your attachment system begins to heal What securely attached people do differently in close relationships A simple practice for building greater trust from the inside out More Resources: With every purchase of Dr. Alison's newest book, The Secure Soul, you'll get exclusive access to her Soul Tending Video Library, including  “Boundaries for the Deeply Feeling Woman” and her masterclass “Healing the Wounds That Still Shape You.” Connect further with @dralisoncook on Instagram

I HAVE NO MOORING FOR YOUR WOUNDS TO LATCH ONTO Perhaps one of love's greatest tests arrives when your pain reaches for me and discovers that I will not become who your pain remembers. Human wounds rarely remain private. They enter relationships carrying expectations shaped by earlier experience. Abandonment may anticipate pursuit. Distrust may provoke interrogation. Fear may seek control. Shame may invite rescue. None of this means every wounded person behaves identically, nor that another person causes the wound. The deeper question concerns what happens between two people when an old expectation reaches outward and finds no cooperating response. Here lies the possibility of a different intimacy. I can care about your fear without obeying it. I can hear your accusation without manufacturing a defense merely because you expected one. Your distance can hurt without forcing me to chase you. Your anger can register in my body without becoming the author of my behavior. Compassion does not require psychological conscription.

Order My Book, A Catechism of the StrangeWhat is the stigmata — and more importantly, what does it mean?In this episode, we explore the strange Catholic phenomenon of the stigmata, the wounds of Christ appearing on the bodies of saints and mystics. We'll talk about St. Francis of Assisi, redemptive suffering, victim souls, “offering it up,” and why these mysterious wounds reveal something deeper about suffering, sacrifice, and union with Christ.This is also one of the central ideas behind my new book, *A Catechism of the Strange*: strange Catholic phenomena aren't just curiosities — they teach us something about God, holiness, and the human soul.

A conversation about turning Wounds to Wisdom. We go beyond the film to talk about the person behind the story, what healing looks like while you're still in the middle of it, and how life's hardest seasons can shape who we become.We start where I always do: How's your heart?@w2wsupperclub @whatnajahdidinheels@thejonathanmajors

Have you ever sincerely apologized to your spouse but felt like you were still paying for the mistake weeks or even months later? Or maybe you're the one carrying a hurt that just won't seem to heal, even though you've chosen to forgive. In this episode, Dr. Kim unpacks the important differences between forgiveness, healing, and trust—and why they don't all happen on the same timeline. He shares practical encouragement for both the spouse who has apologized and the spouse who is still hurting, offering biblical wisdom and realistic next steps for rebuilding trust, extending grace, and moving toward genuine healing together.   Episode Takeaways: Forgiveness is a standard and it's a choice.  Wounds take time to heal.  Trust is rebuilt through behavior, not just an apology.  There's a difference between a lingering hurt and using a past hurt as leverage.  Don't give up on one another.  Let your actions carry the weight!   Quotes from this episode: "You can't control your spouse's healing timeline. You can control whether you're showing up with humility and consistency." "Suppressed pain almost always surfaces later—usually at the worst possible moment and in the worst possible way." "The question isn't whether your spouse has forgiven you. The question might be whether you're giving them the space and time to heal." "Real healing requires honesty, not performance." "They chose honesty over pretending. They chose forgiveness over bitterness. And God honored that."   Time to Talk About it:  When you've been hurt by each other, do we tend to expect forgiveness, healing, and trust to happen at the same pace? How might understanding the difference between those three change the way we respond to one another? Is there an apology from the past that still feels unresolved for either of us? What would help us continue moving toward healing without reopening old wounds or keeping score? What's one practical way each of us can help rebuild trust this week—whether that's through consistent actions, honest communication, or extending grace?

I emancipated from the child welfare system at 16 with nothing.Years later, I returned to my high school reunion as a successful business owner, real estate investor, national child advocate, professional speaker, author of 15 books, founder of Successful Survivors Foundation, and a woman on a mission to help others, especially survivors of childhood trauma, find and fulfill their purpose and experience their own authentic success.What happened between those two moments matters. But the deeper story is found in the character and personality traits and survival skills that helped me create personal and professional success. Those things that you already possess can help you too.Your character, personality, values, beliefs, attitude and abilities are among the most valuable assets you can possess. They can help you build a successful life regardless of where you started or what you have endured.The best part is that they cost nothing. And you may already possess far more of them than you realize.CharacterCharacter is revealed through the choices you make, particularly when those choices are difficult, costly or unseen. The following traits contribute to success in every area of life:Honesty is telling the truth even when a lie would be easier. It is saying, “I made the mistake,” before someone else discovers it. Honesty may cost you comfort in the moment, but it earns something far more valuable: trust.Integrity is doing what is right when no one is watching and no reward is guaranteed. It is returning money when you have been overpaid or keeping a promise after it becomes inconvenient. Integrity aligns your private decisions with your public values.Courage is not the absence of fear. It is taking the next right step while fear is still present. Courage is applying for the job you don't feel qualified for, leaving a harmful relationship or speaking up when remaining silent would be safer.Perseverance is continuing after the excitement has faded and the work has become difficult. It is submitting another proposal after several rejections or returning to school after an unsuccessful semester. Perseverance understands that a setback is an event, not a verdict.Work ethic is consistently giving your best effort, whether the assignment feels important or insignificant. The employee who arrives on time, prepared, solves problems, avoids drama and conflict, and completes what needs to be done becomes someone others can depend on.Determination keeps your destination in sight even when you must change your route. When one door closes, a determined person looks for another door, builds a door or finds a completely different way forward.Resilience is the ability to recover, adapt and rebuild after hardship. Resilience does not deny pain. It refuses to allow pain to have the final word.PersonalityYour personality influences how you experience life and how others experience you. You do not need to possess every desirable personality trait. You do need to understand your natural tendencies and learn how to use them wisely.Ask the people who know you best which qualities they see in you. Their answers may reveal strengths you have overlooked.A healthy sense of humor helps you keep difficult moments in perspective. When plans fall apart, the ability to laugh at the situation — and sometimes at yourself — can release tension and help everyone begin again.Optimism is the expectation that something good can still come from an imperfect situation. An optimist who is turned down for an opportunity does not pretend the rejection feels good. Instead, that person asks, “What can I learn from this, and what opportunity might still be ahead?”Hope is closely connected to optimism, but it reaches deeper. Hope allows you to imagine a good future before you can see evidence of it. It gives you a reason to take one more step when everything in you wants to stop.An even temperament helps you respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. When you receive a harsh email, emotional regulation is the wisdom to pause before replying. Disappointment is inevitable, but allowing disappointment to control your behavior is not.AttitudeThe importance of a positive attitude cannot be overstated. This can be difficult for people who naturally tend toward pessimism, but a positive mental attitude can be developed through intentional thought and practice.A positive attitude does not require pretending that everything is fine. It means refusing to believe that one painful moment will define your entire life.We cannot always control the first thought that enters our minds, but we can decide whether we will entertain it, challenge it or redirect it. We do not have to become prisoners of every negative thought that appears.When your mind says, “I failed, so I am a failure,” you can challenge that thought with the truth: “This attempt did not succeed, but I can learn, adjust and try again.”When you lose an opportunity, you can spend months asking, “Why did this happen to me?” Or you can ask, “What can this teach me, and what can I do next?”That shift does not change the past. It changes what the past is allowed to do to your future.Values and BeliefsYour values identify what matters most to you. Your beliefs shape what you accept as true about yourself, other people and what is possible for your future.Together, your values and beliefs create guardrails. They help you remain within the boundaries of the life you want to build and become the best version of yourself.Imagine being offered a profitable opportunity that requires you to mislead a customer. If honesty is one of your core values, the decision has already been made. Your values protect you from trading long-term peace and credibility for short-term gain.Values and beliefs also help you decide who belongs in your inner circle. A person may be charming, successful or exciting, but if that person repeatedly mocks your convictions, violates your boundaries or pressures you to compromise, closeness to that person can derail your life. That is too high a price to pay.Boundaries are not punishments. They are filters that protect what you value most.AbilitiesYour abilities include the things you have learned in classrooms, workplaces, relationships and difficult life experiences.You may have survival skills, conflict-resolution skills, communication skills, friendship skills and abilities you developed simply because life required you to figure things out. You also have natural talents that were present long before you recognized their value.Some survival responses require healing, but others can be refined into powerful abilities. A child who learned to read a room may grow into an adult with exceptional situational awareness. Someone who learned to accomplish a great deal with very little may become an unusually resourceful entrepreneur. A person who frequently helped others resolve disagreements may have the natural ability to lead, negotiate or build strong teams.You may be a gifted listener, organizer, teacher, encourager, problem-solver, storyteller or peacemaker. Because these abilities come naturally, you may assume they are ordinary. They are not. What feels effortless to you may be exactly what someone else needs.Purposeful Practice: Take Inventory of What You Already PossessCreate five headings on a piece of paper:CharacterPersonalityAttitudeValues and beliefsAbilitiesUnder each heading, list the assets you possess. Beside every asset, write one example of how you have demonstrated it.Do not merely write, “I am resilient.” Write the evidence: “I rebuilt my life after losing my job.” “I raised my children while going to school.” “I survived something that could have destroyed me, and I am still moving forward.”Then circle one asset you have not been using fully and identify one way you can put it to work this week.You may not have started life with money, connections, encouragement or opportunity. But that does not mean you started with nothing.When you recognize, develop and intentionally use the assets already within you, you can create a purposeful life and experience the five facets of real success: healthy relationships, peace, joy, wellness and the financial provision needed to do what you are uniquely qualified to do.Your past may explain where you began. It does not get to decide where you finish. Get full access to Rhonda Sciortino's Wounds to Wisdom Diary & Podcast at rhondasciortino.substack.com/subscribe

Healthy relationships aren't built on simply telling people what they want to hear. Sometimes, loving someone means telling them what they need to hear.In Week 2 of People Problems, Pastor Jacob Dickerson looks at what Proverbs teaches us about honest friendships, godly correction, and why the right people in our lives are willing to tell us the truth—even when it hurts.

Unhealed wounds can affect your marriage, friendships, parenting, and even your faith. When pain is left unresolved, it can leak into the people around you—even people who never caused the hurt. In this sermon, you'll discover how Jesus brings healing to your wounds so you can stop repeating old patterns and start breaking unhealthy cycles. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how God can transform your wounds instead of allowing them to be transferred to the people you love. In this sermon, you'll learn: How unhealed wounds affect your relationships Why hurt people often hurt people How to let God heal the wounds you've been hiding Why you shouldn't make today's relationships pay yesterday's debts How Jesus can help you break generational cycles of pain How your healing can become a source of healing for others Your pain does not have to become your legacy. What wounded you can be transformed by God, and the cycle can stop with you. Jesus doesn't just heal you so you can survive your past—He heals you so your healing can impact the people around you.

Let's talk about why!

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 27:5–6, where Solomon contrasts the loving honesty of a faithful friend with the hidden danger of flattering words. Open rebuke, when offered in love, is far more valuable than silent indifference, and the wounds of a trusted friend bring healing that empty praise never can. This lesson explores the biblical purpose of loving correction, the difference between truth that restores and flattery that deceives, and why Jesus Christ, the truest Friend of all, loved us enough to speak the truth that leads to repentance, growth, and life.

Send us Fan Mail A man sits in the cold, nearly blind, wearing the label most of us avoid looking at: “homeless.” Then a stranger stops and buys him a four-dollar cup of tea. What happens next isn't a viral feel-good twist, it's a real lesson in empathy, mental health, and the hidden stories we miss when we rely on assumptions. We talk with guest Jody Zarn  about the friendship that grew from that tiny moment and the framework he calls the “invisible trauma string” the idea that adversity can connect us instead of separating us. Jody shares how childhood bullying nearly destroyed his self-worth, how learning he was “supposed to be here” changed the way he sees people, and why being honest about our pain can create community instead of shame. Then we meet Leroy through Jody's eyes: not a stereotype, but a proud, brilliant man who survived assaults, disability, and years on the street and who also turns out to be a world-class checkers champion. We dig into why small kindnesses carry outsized weight, how “Coffee for Zarno” sparked hundreds of good deeds, and what it looks like to help in ways that are human, practical, and mindful of safety.

Father wounds and childhood emotional neglect can shape porn addiction in ways many men do not recognize. You may believe you simply have a problem with lust or self-control, while pornography has quietly become a way to manage loneliness, powerlessness, shame, stress, or a deeper hunger to feel like you have what it takes.In this episode, I sit down with Chris Bruno, founder of Restoration Project and Restory Counseling, to explore the unhealed boy behind pornography addiction. Chris helps men recover their hearts through the interconnected work of fatherhood, brotherhood, sonship, and storywork.We discuss how every father wound begins with an unmet father hunger: a boy's need for his father's attentive face, life-giving words, guidance, and blessing. Sometimes that wound comes through obvious abuse, abandonment, or harshness. Other times it develops through the quieter drought of childhood emotional neglect—a home where a boy was provided for but never deeply known, guided through his emotions, or welcomed into manhood.Chris explains why porn addiction can become a coping mechanism and survival strategy. Pornography may offer a counterfeit sense of power, control, accomplishment, connection, or masculine initiation. Understanding this deeper story does not excuse our adult choices. It gives us the clarity and compassion necessary to take meaningful responsibility for them.We also explore practical storywork for addiction recovery, the difference between sexual desire and emotional activation, how to move from resentment into grief, and why healing brotherhood must offer more than a weekly accountability report.Brother, the boy who first reached for pornography may have been trying to survive emotions and experiences he did not know how to carry. He does not need more humiliation. He needs honesty, compassion, protection, and mature leadership.But the adult man must eventually take the lead.Recovery is not merely about removing pornography. It is about healing the emotional roots of porn addiction, recovering healthy masculinity, building meaningful relationships, and creating a life that offers something better than escape.Timestamps00:00 Chris Bruno and Restoration Project02:29 How Father Wounds Begin06:02 Emotional Neglect and the Quiet Drought08:42 Honor Requires Honesty10:32 Your First Story and Second Story14:34 What Porn Cravings Really Mean15:29 The STAB Craving Framework17:46 The Story Beneath My Own Addiction20:35 Counterfeit Initiation into Manhood24:35 Sexual Energy as Creative Energy26:11 Desire Versus Sexual Activation28:59 Storywork for Porn Addiction Recovery33:32 Wounds, Losses, and Survival37:02 Big Trauma and a Thousand Paper Cuts38:21 Ownership Without Victimhood41:43 Moving from Resentment into Grief44:13 Brotherhood Beyond Accountability47:15 How Men Can Share Their Stories49:50 Connect with Chris BrunoWhen you understand the story beneath your pornography use, you can begin building a recovery plan around your actual emotional, relational, biological, neurological, and spiritual needs.To work with Chris Bruno and his team, go to restorationproject.net or restory.lifeYou can also check out his podcasts here: The Restorative Man PodcastThrive Marriage Lab PodcastLink to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

Chiron Retrograde Has Arrived: The Astrology Behind Your Money, Self-Worth & Subconscious Wounds Resurfacing Right Now Chiron just stationed retrograde in Taurus — the first time since 1983. Here's what it means for your money, self-worth & subconscious healing. On August 3rd, 2026, Chiron — astrology's wounded healer — stationed retrograde at zero degrees Taurus, the first Chiron retrograde in Taurus since 1983. In this episode, I break down what Chiron actually represents in astrology, why Taurus is the sign of money, security, the body, and self-worth, and what happens when the wounded healer moves through the sign of "am I safe, am I enough, do I deserve this." I'm connecting this transit directly to the subconscious reprogramming and nervous-system work I teach every week — because Chiron in Taurus isn't a mindset issue, it's a safety issue, and your subconscious mind and nervous system are where this wound actually lives, long before it shows up as a thought about money or worth. I also get personal: my own natal Chiron sits at 29° Taurus, and I walk through what that means for my own Chiron return — plus what it means if you were born between 1976 and 1984, because your natal Chiron is in Taurus too, and this entire astrological chapter is speaking directly to you. By the end of this episode, you'll understand the astrology, the psychology, and the subconscious patterning behind why old wounds around money, safety, and self-worth have been surfacing lately — and a handful of practical, body-based ways to work with it instead of around it. In This Episode  00:00 — Cold open: what shifted in the sky on August 3rd 00:45 — The news: Chiron's full 2026–2027 retrograde timeline, explained 02:00 — What Chiron represents in astrology (the wounded healer myth) 04:00 — What Taurus represents (money, body, security, self-worth) 7:00 — Chiron in Taurus: what the wound is actually about + the subconscious/nervous-system connection 8:00 — My Chiron return story — and what it means if you were born 1976–1984 10:00 — Practical, subconscious-informed ways to navigate this retrograde 12:00 — Recap + what's coming with eclipse season (Solar Eclipse in Leo, August 12th) Key Takeaways Chiron stationed retrograde at 0°52′ Taurus on August 3, 2026 — the first Chiron retrograde in Taurus since 1983. This retrograde is a preview: Chiron doesn't settle into Taurus for its full ~7-year transit until April 2027. Taurus rules the 2nd house — money, possessions, values, and self-worth — plus the body itself. Chiron in Taurus asks you to notice, not fix, where your sense of safety and worth actually live in your body and subconscious mind, not just your thoughts. A true Chiron return happens once in a lifetime, around ages 46–53, when transiting Chiron reaches your exact natal degree. If you were born between 1976 and 1984, your natal Chiron is in Taurus — this multi-year transit is your story too. Subconscious reprogramming and nervous-system regulation are the practical tools for working with this transit, not just journaling or mindset shifts. Quotable Moments "Chiron isn't the wound you overcome. It's the wound you learn to carry differently." "This isn't a mindset issue. It's a safety issue. Your subconscious and your nervous system knew before your thoughts did." "This week isn't my Chiron return. It's page one of the story that leads to it." Frequently Asked Questions What does Chiron retrograde mean? Chiron retrograde is a period when Chiron appears to move backward through the zodiac, turning the wounded-healer archetype inward. Rather than acting or fixing, retrograde periods invite reflection on where a core wound already lives in your subconscious patterning and nervous system. What does Chiron in Taurus mean? Chiron in Taurus brings the wounded-healer energy into the sign of money, security, the body, and self-worth. It can surface old subconscious beliefs about not being safe, not having enough, or not deserving stability — wounds that often live in the body and nervous system before they ever show up as a conscious thought. What is a Chiron return? A Chiron return happens once in a lifetime, typically between ages 46 and 53, when transiting Chiron returns to the exact degree it occupied at your birth. It's considered one of the major midlife astrological turning points, often triggering a deep review of core wounds and an invitation to finally heal them. When is the next Chiron retrograde in 2026? Chiron stationed retrograde on August 3, 2026, at 0°52′ Taurus, and remains retrograde until it stations direct on January 6, 2027, at 26°16′ Aries. It fully re-enters Taurus for a multi-year transit on April 14, 2027. How do you heal a Chiron wound? Chiron wounds respond best to slow, body-based healing rather than quick fixes — think subconscious reprogramming, nervous-system regulation, somatic practices, and compassionate self-witnessing, rather than trying to think or journal your way past them. Who is most affected by Chiron in Taurus? Anyone with natal Chiron in Taurus feels this transit most directly — that's generally people born between 1976 and 1984, who will move through their own Chiron return sometime during this multi-year Taurus chapter.

Outside the classroom, Stephanie continues to actively serve her community by volunteering in schools, with military-focused nonprofits, and on military installations. Stephanie's engagement across settings enabled her to build relationships with military-connected families as they navigated the impact of frequent military relocations on their children's academic continuity. In 2024, she was committed to mitigating those impacts and applied to the George W. Bush Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program. As a scholar, Stephanie launched The Continuing Education Plan, now known as Bridge & Banner™, a fiscally sponsored project of the nonprofit Veterans Collaborative™. Bridge and Banner™ provides tools to strengthen partnerships between teachers and parents, amplifying the parents' ability to advocate for their child's academic needs during military transitions. Stephanie is committed to advancing her research on academic continuity as a 2026 Tillman Scholar attending Mississippi State University's Doctor of Educational Policy and Organizational Design program.

Our words are symptoms of our internal health, and when we react with harsh criticism, gossip, or anger, it points to a wound that needs God's touch. Instead of relying on willpower to filter your speech, ask the Lord to heal your heart at its core so your words can become medicine rather than poison. #FULLTANKwithBroBo​ #FULLTANKwithBroBo2026​ #BoSanchez​ #YourWordsRevealYourWounds​ #Matthew15​ #CheckYourHeart​ #CleanHeartCleanSpeech​ #FaithInAction​ #SpiritualMaturity​ #TrulyRichMindset​ #WordsAreSymptoms​ #Grace​---P.S.

The preliminary hearing for David Anthony Burke, the musician performing as d4vd, has turned into a fight over what actually happened to fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in the final minutes of her life — and how far a defense team will go to reframe it. Attorney Blair Berk isn't disputing that Celeste died. She's disputing when her wounds happened, pressing the LA County medical examiner on whether the injuries could have occurred after she was already dead, then having a detective read text messages in which Celeste referenced hurting herself. It's a strategy built entirely around reasonable doubt, aimed squarely at a girl who has no way to respond to any of it. The backdrop makes it harder to watch. A notarized consent form let Celeste travel internationally with Burke. Her family reportedly knew about the relationship, attending concerts and even church together. Her father has since denied any contact ever happened, a denial that contradicts sworn detective testimony. Prosecutors, meanwhile, have built their own timeline: a twenty-one-minute gap between Celeste's Uber arrival and her phone going permanently silent. Three chainsaws recovered from Burke's home tested negative for blood and were never collected as evidence by LAPD. Burke's Interscope deal was worth as much as nineteen million dollars. Burke has been held to answer on first-degree murder with special circumstances and additional charges tied to illegal conduct with Celeste and unlawful mutilation of her remains. He faces the death penalty and has pleaded not guilty. Arraignment is set for August 31st, and the legal maneuvering is only getting sharper from here. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Pastor Rhonda explores the healing nature of Jehovah Rapha—the Lord who heals, cures, mends, and puts our lives back together again. Drawing from the story of Israel at Mara, the life of Joseph, and personal testimony, this sermon reminds us that our deepest pain can become the very place where God births fresh purpose and fruitfulness.

Emotional wounds have a way of shaping how we see ourselves, our relationships, and even our future. Whether you've experienced rejection, betrayal, abuse, divorce, addiction, or deep disappointment, healing begins when you stop believing your pain is your identity. In this message, you'll discover how Jesus doesn't define you by your wounds but by who He created you to be. If you've ever felt trapped by your past, this sermon offers biblical hope, healing, and a new way forward. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how Jesus heals more than our pain—He restores our identity, calls us by a new name, and invites us to walk in the freedom He purchased for us. In this sermon, you'll learn: Why your emotional wounds should never become your identity How Jesus breaks the labels shame, trauma, and failure place on your life What John 5 teaches about healing your heart—not just your circumstances How to stop living through yesterday's pain and start walking in God's purpose Why your greatest wound can become your greatest testimony How to embrace the identity God speaks over your life instead of the lies of your past Your story doesn't end where you were wounded. Jesus doesn't erase your past—He redeems it. The very pain that once held you captive can become undeniable evidence of God's grace, faithfulness, and transforming power. The wound that tried to define you can become the testimony that points others to Christ.

Often times it's like opening a can of worms when we talk about pain and suffering we've gone through. Rather than keep these things hidden away, Jesus wants to use those worms to go fishing for other hurting people. When we allow God to use our pain to reach others, His purpose gets fulfilled in our lives.

In this inspiring reflection, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reminds us that rejection is a part of every human life. We may reject ourselves, reject others, or experience rejection from those around us. Beneath these experiences often lie emotional wounds that God invites us to acknowledge and heal.The homily challenges us to consider how the fear of rejection can keep us from embracing the truth. While the truth can be difficult and even offensive to those who resist it, Christ calls us to live in the truth with courage, humility, and love.Fr. Anthony also emphasizes the importance of repentance. When we sincerely repent of our sins and receive God's mercy in this life, we can face God's judgment with hope, trusting in His forgiveness and infinite love.May this reflection encourage you to embrace the truth, trust in God's mercy, and never allow the fear of rejection to keep you from following Christ."Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." – John 8:32 ★ Support this podcast ★

Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke wrap up Ancient Christianity with stories about sermon critiques, mispronounced words, and the kind of mentorship that only works when trust has been earned. Al shares how a gift from his granddaughter brought Phil's larger-than-life legacy to mind, while John Luke explains how he turned the Roman Empire into a summer camp lesson about Jesus, persecution, and the kingdom of God. The guys dig into Augustine's impact on the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, and why God must reveal himself before we can truly know him.  In this episode: John 1:1; Genesis 1:28; John 17:3; John 14:6; Ephesians 3:10; Luke 15; Psalm 48:1-8; 1 John 4:8-10; Romans 1-2; Romans 7:24-25 Today's conversation is a recap of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it. Join us today to discover the improbable and miraculous story of Christianity.
