Lectric Xpedition Bike: Watch HereWhat if the pain you've buried is the very thing blocking you from becoming the man God created you to be?In this raw and emotional episode, Jerrad sits down with Dr. Brad Johnson—also known as BJ Communicates—to talk about grief, father wounds, and how trauma shapes us more than we realize. BJ shares the heartbreaking story of holding his newborn son as he took his last breath, walking through the fog of loss in his marriage, and later grieving the death of his own father before reconciliation could happen.Together, they unpack how fatherlessness, unprocessed emotions, and generational pain keep men stuck—and why ignoring it doesn't make it go away. They talk about how grief shows up in unexpected ways (like road rage and burnout), why most men lack true friendships, and how healing begins with honest conversations.This episode is an invitation to stop carrying what God has called you to cast—and to believe that the best version of you is on the other side of your pain.What You'll Learn:Why men are emotional—even when they say they're notHow father wounds affect your identityThe power of grief and what it revealsWhat it means to carry trauma in your bodyHow to connect with your wife through emotional check-insWhy men struggle to form deep friendshipsHow generational patterns repeat if we don't interrupt themWhy healing is spiritual—and why it matters for your familyMentioned in This Episode:BJ Communicates' books: Hard Conversations seriesSupport group for grieving dads: Sad Dad“Feelings Wheel” for emotional check-insBook Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.comGrab Dad Tired and Loving It: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB

Why do some headlines shake us to our core—while others barely register? In this episode of Getting Through the Week, we explore how public stories like the Epstein list, political betrayals, or even a Coldplay concert jumbotron moment can reawaken personal pain that's been buried for years. Because this isn't just about celebrities or scandals. It's about what those stories stir in us. We dive into: The link between collective trauma and personal triggers Why betrayal by institutions (or even partners) can hit like childhood wounds The nervous system's response when truth is denied Why we crave someone—anyone—to speak up for what's right And what it means when your body reacts before your brain catches up ✨ If you've felt on edge, disheartened, or unexpectedly emotional lately… this episode offers context, compassion, and clarity. You're not too much. You're not too sensitive. You're just human—and your system remembers.
Imagine a world without rules. No stoplights. No order. No boundaries. Just chaos. That's exactly what Satan wants: not just in the world but in your soul.From the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom breaks open the Gospel of the Good Samaritan in a way you've never heard before. This isn't a sentimental message about “being nice.” It's a battle cry for Catholic men to return to order and to recognize the Savior who comes not only with mercy but with discipline and authority. Jesus is not just the Samaritan in this story, He's the King, the Divine Physician, and the Bridegroom who restores broken men, binds their wounds with sacraments, and places them inside His Church to heal.Do you have the humility to admit you're the wounded man? Will you allow Christ to perform spiritual surgery on your soul? Or will you keep limping in chaos, wounded and angry, rejecting the very order that heals you?This episode will convict you. It will challenge you. And it will show you how the Church—through the priesthood, the sacraments, and the Mass—is the battlefield medic station every man needs.
Have you ever struggled with an unwanted difficulty you've prayed for God to remove, but God seems to not respond to your prayer? That's exactly what happened to the apostle Paul. In this message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, called, THE WOUNDS OF A GOOD SOLDIER, he shares three lessons we can learn from Paul's thorn in the flesh. This message is from the series, SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS.
In this week's show Lian is joined by Serdar Hararovich. Serdar is a Relationship & Secure Attachment Specialist offering integrative, attachment-based coaching and healing. He supports both men and women to heal early attachment wounds, establish inner security, reclaim their deepest self, and cultivate the emotional skills required for deep, soulful, and secure love. Serdar works with a wide variety of individuals - including, but not limited to, therapists, relationship coaches, and other practitioners. The common thread among his clients is a deep desire to go beyond the surface - people tired of quick-fix techniques and oversimplified approaches to healing. Those ready to do the kind of work that awakens their deepest potential - allowing them to master the art of true intimacy and experience the kind of love that transforms everything. In this episode, Lian and Serdar explore the roots of how we relate, beginning with the early wounds that shape our adult relationships. Serdar shares his own story of growing up with emotional neglect, the drinking and disconnection that followed, and the practical and healing work that allowed him to form deeper, more secure relationships. Together, they look at the role of corrective experiences in healing attachment wounds, and how both inner work and relational skill-building are essential for intimacy. They discuss the dynamic between the masculine and feminine in healing, and the different experiences that can arise when working with male or female facilitators. From there, the conversation opens into the complex terrain of polarity teachings, how these can support or distort healing, and what happens when identity becomes performative rather than rooted in authenticity. Throughout the conversation, Lian and Serdar invite reflection on what it truly means to heal, to relate with curiosity, and to understand the impact of gendered conditioning without becoming confined by it. This is a nuanced and compassionate conversation that offers both clarity and challenge. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Healing requires both inner work and relational skill-building. It's not enough to simply know the theory… we need lived experiences that re-pattern our nervous systems. Curiosity is one of the core qualities of secure attachment. When we stop assuming and start asking, intimacy becomes possible. Polarity teachings can offer insight, but without healing first, they risk deepening the mask. The real work is becoming someone who can relate with truth, not performance.

In the shadowlands of human intimacy, we often mistake connection for communion, trauma for truth, and reactivity for resonance. Beneath the curated choreography of modern relationships—romantic, familial, platonic—lurks a disowned force field of unmetabolized emotion, ancestral patterning, and inner exiles clamoring for resolution.

In this short but powerful episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey pick up right where they left off.Lauren invites Trey to share what he's been exploring around his source wound, and he opens up about a childhood memory from 1994 — sitting in a car, hearing Adam Sandler's “The Chanukah Song,” and feeling an intense response in his 10-year-old body.With the help of a meditative practice inspired by Dr. Joe Dispenza, and guided by Lauren, Trey revisits this memory using active imagination — and discovers how much healing can happen when a partner helps you repattern what once felt too big to hold alone.Together, they talk through what it's like to do this kind of inner child work in relationship, how safety can be renegotiated when met with presence, and why they'd like to apply the same toolset to old wounds from their recent NYC rupture.Timestamps:00:00 Why Trey wanted to share this memory02:55 The 1994 car memory & The Chanukah Song06:45 Active imagination as a relational repair tool10:30 Trey's nervous system response & what helped12:50 Can we use this process for NYC too?✨ Want to learn how to use tools like the ones we shared today?Request a free consult at: www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultAbout Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

Many of us (myself, and many of my clients)have a complicated relationship with ambition. We're high-achieving, smart women who know how to get things done. But often, that productivity comes at a cost. Burnout. Disconnection. Operating from hyper-masculine energy that pushes us past our limits. So, after burning out, we swing the other way. The feminine. The reclined, passive, soft energy. But even in that softness, we start to wonder… Can I still want things? Can I still be ambitious and stay feminine? Can I burn with desire for something and still honour my body? This episode dives into exactly that tension & how we can hold both. Because ambition isn't unfeminine. Success doesn't have to cost us our wellbeing.

Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement. Dana's second book, CHOKING ON SHAME: THE SCAPEGOAT CHILD IN A NARCISSISTIC FAMILY, was a #1 New Release on Amazon after its mid-September release. The book delves into Dana's life as an unwanted pregnancy and child, and the physical and verbal abuse she endured as a result.

Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic [00:01:00] violence advocate, Diana. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Hello everyone. Welcome. Come on in. Glad to have you here for the regular listeners as well as some new folks coming in. We have a terrific show for you today, as always. We have a repeat guest today. Dana Diaz is on the show. She was here in season three, episode 1 53, talking about having a relationship with a narcissist, [00:02:00] which many of us have experienced. So if you haven't. Watch that episode. I really encourage you to go back and listen to it. It's excellent. The first time she was here. She was talking about her book, Gasping for Air, which is her story of, narcissistic abuse. And this time she's coming on because she just released a new book called Choking on Shame. Boy, what a title. Have you dealt with shame like the rest of us? Um, yeah, that's a great verb to use, a description to use choking. So I'm very intrigued about hearing about her second book since her first book was excellent. Okay, so here is her book. Very [00:03:00] engaging cover, a stranglehold of narcissistic abuse. Again, very descriptive, great title. This book is thick. it's very well written. Some parts are very tough to read, as you would imagine, just like. Maybe your story is hard. Your story has some hard sections in it. But before I bring her on the show, I'm gonna just briefly, read her bio again. For those that are new and haven't, met Dana. Dana Diaz is a wife, mother, and author of the bestselling book, Gasping for Air, the Stranglehold of Narcissistic Abuse. Dana has had lifelong experience with narcissistic abuse beginning in childhood. Her education in journalism and [00:04:00] psychology at DePaul University in Chicago gave her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims so that she can help other victims know that they are not alone and better understand their own circumstances. Today Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal. She hid [00:05:00] under the couch cushion in the basement. Dana is in the process of publishing the prequel and sequel to Gasping for Air. Learn more about Dana at www.danasdiaz.com. So I know that you're going to enjoy this interview, as much as the first one. So here we go with my second conversation with Dana Diaz. Enjoy. I am so excited to have back on the show, my friend Dan Diaz. Thank you for coming on the show again. Oh, I'm so happy I'm back. I just am delighted whenever somebody invites me back on a podcast because there's so many, as we were just talking about, there's so many things, layers to abuse and the things we endure. Um, so there's so much to talk about that's hard to cram into a [00:06:00] half hour or an hour show. So thank you for inviting me back. I appreciate it. Yeah. Well, I like having repeat guests because I already like you. I already know you and you have more to share with us with your new books. And so I'm real excited to hear what you have to say to the folks. I did give, a little bio before you came on, but if you could do like a synopsis, a summary of your abuse story, just as a reminder of what you've gone through so far. Yeah, absolutely. I'm 49 years old, so it's been a ride. But my first book actually covered my 25 year relationship and first marriage, to an abusive narcissist. And I know we use this word narcissist very freely in society, but what I'm talking about is somebody that is so, intent on fulfilling their [00:07:00] egotistical need for power and control, that they will go to the extent of, domestic violence and things like that, various abuses, to feel that, to fulfill that ego of theirs. And so, that covered that. But then after that book came out, the only book I ever meant, to put out. So many people had questions about, well, how does somebody end up in a relationship like that? And my immediate answer was, well, that was my childhood because I was born to a teenage mother who didn't want me. And she, in fact, she had her tubes tied immediately after my birth, and I was born on her 17th birthday. They apparently did that in the seventies. But, then she got married to a man who was not my father and who wanted me even less because I was not his biological child. And so I endured physical and verbal abuse and emotional neglect and, had a pretty hard time trying to figure out my place in the world, especially when I'd go to school thinking, okay, I'm okay [00:08:00] here. I'm safe here. And then I get bullied everywhere I turn, I'm facing adversity and opposition and being put in situations where I'm not good enough and I'm not this and I'm not that. And so what am I, what am I. But then we kind of answer that question in the third book, released March 31st. And that one is called Rising from the Ashes. Breaking the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse. Yes, rising out of it. But, you know, it's sad that it took me till my late forties to really understand, and I think more so internalize and change my mindset about who I am and where my place really is in this world. Because when you're abused, I think anybody who is listening, who you know, has had that experience, it's part of your soul, feels like it's taken away. [00:09:00] Your independence, your autonomy, I love this. I have this scene in my third book, which. I'm crying, I'm upset because I'm like, I have no contact with my abusive mother and stepfather. I have ended my, relationship, divorced my ex-husband who is abusive. I should be happy. Things are going great. Marrying a man that I've known his family 20 years and he's the sweetest, gentlest, most patient person I've ever met in my life. And so what I really needed, but it was like I still wasn't happy. I was still suffering. I was in still so much pain, but there was no external outward reason for it. I had so many blessings all around me but I couldn't see it because I was still holding on to that victim mindset, that pain. And my priest looked me in my eye and he says, my dear. The problem is, is you are still thinking like you're [00:10:00] the daughter of a mother who rejected you, but you're not. He said, you're here because God intended for you to be here. She may not have wanted you, but he wanted you. Here you are God's child. You're not your mother's child. You're God's child. And that's when literally everything turned around for me. Everything turned around. Mm. And, just made me rethink my place in this world that I was like, that's right. He wouldn't have protected me and had his hand over me through that entire childhood, which I cover in the second book. He wouldn't have protected me from, an ex-husband who was planning to, not have me exist. He wouldn't have done all those things if I wasn't meant to be here to serve his purpose. I'll never forget the morning that I was just coming out of that first marriage and it literally just came into my head. You should write a book about your experiences. And I'd [00:11:00] never understood what it meant when God spoke to you or put something on your heart. But I literally remember like kind of glancing up like. Is that you? It's kind of like that old book. Are you there? God, it's me, Margaret. Like, I'm like, is that you book? Oh God. I know, right? We all have that as a staple in grade school, but that was like the same kind of thing. I'm like, looking up, are you there? God, it's me. Like, were you actually did, was that for me? Like did you, were you talking to me? But I heard it. I heard it loud and clear and that's what I did and it's amazing, as I said that I only ever meant to write the one book and then it led to the second one and now it's. Led to people wanting more. And even now people are like, what about a fourth book? I'm like, the third one isn't even out yet. But now I'm like, actually there is a fourth book in me , and half written already, ironically, because there are so many stories that are pulled out to keep these books. I mean, I know they're thick, but they're pretty quick reads. But, it's been a heck of a ride. But again, I go back to the faith and I think that [00:12:00] as much as people say stay away from religion, politics, when it comes to God, we are all here because we are his children. And once, like I said, I, I got that and somebody said that to me. I'm like, everything changed. Everything changed. It's like I woke up, like my eyes opened up and I said, oh my gosh, I am here. And let me tell you a quick story. And I might have told this on the first podcast, but. During my childhood, and I covered this in my second book, which is called Choking on Shame, the Scapegoat Child in a Narcissistic Family. When you're being raised by two narcissists, it's difficult because I was that kid that always wanted to achieve more, more, doing everything right. I was the best at everything. Honor roll. I taught myself to play piano. I was first chair viola in two orchestras, and like whatever it was, I wanted to do things that would make my parents proud. But it was never enough. It was never enough because I couldn't [00:13:00] be any more than what they wanted me to be, which was nothing, right? So that they could feel better about the way they were treating me. But the irony is, is that as I was going through high school, I really wanted to go to beauty school. I so desperately wanted to do like makeup and facials and stuff. I was really interested in that and, nope. Again, narcissists. They can't brag about a daughter going to beauty school when cousin Joey's going to study engineering and that one's going to study physical therapy or become a doctor. It wasn't brag worthy. Mm-hmm. So they said, you have to go to college. And I'm like, what am I gonna do in college? I mean, yeah, I got good grades, but I didn't wanna go to college. I wanted to go to beauty school. Well, guess what? I went to college. I ended up going to DePaul University in Chicago. Good Catholic girl. Stayed with my faith. I loved the experience, honestly, and I'm glad I did it. But, uh, there's no classes on beauty over there or fashion or [00:14:00] anything unless you wanna be a fashion designer. And I didn't wanna do that. Mm-hmm. But I definitely studied psychology because I knew that I wanted to be in a better mindset myself, even that young. But the funny thing was that all my professors pushed me more towards public speaking and writing. So I went into the journalism program, came out of there. That's about when I met my ex-husband, and again, another narcissist. He would not support me in any efforts to become a journalist or, or work in any kind of media, even, you know, small town, little cable media, because joy, success, achievement, that would outshine anything that he could possibly, or that he thought he could, achieve himself. So he had me cleaning houses, in this podunk town that he moved us to in the Midwest. And um, that was fine. I was one, I've always been one of those people, like, if I'm gonna do something, I'm just gonna do it. Give [00:15:00] 200%. I was reliable. I was trustworthy. I ended up building a six figure empire with this cleaning business and had a crew of eight people. But where I'm going with all this is that, so when I get this idea after that divorce, that I should write this book, it was interesting because I looked back and I thought, talk about coming full circle here. I was in this abusive childhood. I remember 12 years old was the first time I actually thought like I would never want anybody else to endure what I have. And I know I have not even had the most horrific childhood. Other people, most certainly have endured worse, but I knew I wanted to help children that were victims of child abuse so that they could live better lives as adults, and not be stuck in that situation or repeat those cycles with their children. So here I was [00:16:00] 45 years old, have endured this childhood, have endured this abuse, get this idea to write a book, and then I'm like, oh, so this is why you did this to me. God, this is why I couldn't go to beauty school. I had to endure all this stuff, and then you made me go to college. Or you at least put me with two parents who absolutely would not hear anything other than me going to college. I end up in the journalism program. Now I have a degree in journalism that I've never used, but now I've had all these experiences that I can actually verbalize. Help victims of abuse. Mm-hmm. It was like one of those epiphanies where like you're like, oh, that's why you did this all. Like, but we don't see it when we're going through things. We can't see the light at the end. We can't see that there is reason we get, we kind of drown ourselves in the sorrow and the self pity. And it's not to say the things that I endured weren't worthy of, that they were, [00:17:00] you know, awful. Other people have had more awful circumstances, but I think that's the thing that you have to come to at the end of it is to trust. You have to trust God. He's not putting you through anything because I mean, there were times where I'm like, what did I do? What did I do? Like I'm a good girl. Like I haven't, I've made mistakes. We all do. But like, what have I done that was so bad that I deserve this? And I think so many people fall into that and then they start shaming themselves, blaming themselves, blaming God sometimes turning away from him. And for me, it was just, it. He was ever present. There would be people that would come into my life at certain points, whether momentarily or for, some amount of time that would sort of kind of like, like a shepherd kind of herd me back, like into God's light. And so it was like, I couldn't see it until I was there, until the last few years where I'm like, oh, okay, God, I see this now. But maybe some of us aren't meant to understand or [00:18:00] even know. Why and what and all this. But we have to trust, we have to trust that even the bad stuff is meant for us. And it's meant for a specific reason and it's meant for our specific, unique purpose in this world and in this life. And so hopefully that gives other, somebody some hope that no matter what their circumstance, there's a reason for it. And it might not even be for you, it might be for somebody else's benefit or for them to learn a lesson. I mean, we, there we're all so interconnected, but we all are a source from God. Hmm. I totally agree with that. Agree. I know you kind of, glossed over your, ex-husband and the suffering you went through with him in gasping for air. I remember that story. Yeah. Of you were asleep in your house. With your son, and you heard somebody unlocking the door downstairs and [00:19:00] it was your ex-husband just barging in, in the middle, middle of the night, was barging in and took your son and you're wrestling with him downstairs trying to keep him, literally from taking him away from you. And we talked about this before the podcast about the language in your book. The words that he would call you in front of your son and trying to sneak into your house in the middle of the night. That's a monster. That is a monster, yeah. That you were married to. And that must have been really terrifying. How do you move forward from that? That's why I wrote the second book, because I came out of this childhood basically being conditioned to think that I had to earn love, that I wasn't inherently worthy of it. And it's hard to even love yourself when you think you have to earn love or that, you know, even as a kid, and certainly as an adult, I'd look around , I notice [00:20:00] other families and how they operate. Or when I was playing at a little friend's house or having dinner at somebody's house as an adult, like everybody's mother loves them. Every family has dysfunction. But it's family. You stick together and a mother loves all her children, or at least she's supposed to. But I think that's the part that I wrestled with the most was that my mother did not, I mean, she did not want me before I was born. She did not endear herself after, to me after I was born. In fact, after I was born, um, my grandma and I were just talking about this recently that, my grandma and great grandmama came to the hospital and my mother had no intention of bringing me home. She was gonna adopt me out or leave me there, whatever. And my grandma said, oh, no, this is our first grandchild, our first great-grandchild. No, no, we are taking her home. And my grandma said she paid the bill and my grandma took me home with her, and that's who I was with. But at the point where my mother got [00:21:00] married, or, moved in, I should say, before she got married to her husband, who she is still married to after almost 40 years. Um, well, no, it's been just over 40 years actually. But, somebody thought it was a good idea for me to go and live with them because, it's kind of interesting looking at my mother's situation. You know, her family came from Puerto Rico, both of her parents, and they lived in Chicago. They had everything they needed, but certainly weren't living the life that she thought she should have. And she was a very, oh, just a stunning, stunning young woman. Um, and I think she knew it and she knew that she could have a better life without having to necessarily, go the route that a lot of people would. And I'm trying to be very careful how I word that, as you can see, because I don't wanna judge her. That's a whole other thing that I deal with in the third book is my relationship and my feelings about her. But the childhood [00:22:00] being raised by somebody like that who's telling me, oh no, we're gonna wear gap clothes now. We're gonna talk like this. Now we're gonna straighten our hair now. Nobody needs to know where Hispanic, nobody needs to know. He's not your real father. Putting on this facade and basically being told as a small child as early as five years old, I remember being told to lie to people. So I just didn't say anything. 'cause I couldn't keep my mother's story straight. I'm not even sure she could keep her story straight because she told lies about who we were so often. I, I mean, it literally made my head spin and I started saying to my friends as a little girl and all through adulthood, my mother and her stories. They always had a story for everything. And I think that's what I know readers have expressed when they read that book, choking on Shame is the frustration of what happened versus what was put out. I mean, she is like the media, you know, she's like [00:23:00] a political correspondent that's definitely sided on, one side and it's hers. Um, it was never on mine, and that's hard as a child to understand that your mother does not love you, that you cannot depend on your mother to take care of you emotionally, physically. Nothing. So, yeah, it was basically like serving me straight up to a monster because the opening of gasping for Air, the first chapter is when he literally walked into my place of work the first time I met him. And I remember very clearly thinking of the robot had lost in space with the coily arms danger, danger. Like he, he came off arrogant and smug and like he, he had a sense of entitlement and it just, reminded me so much of my stepfather and I thought, oh, I know this personality type. There's no way. But [00:24:00] when you grow up like I did, you're a people pleaser. You, it doesn't matter. It could be the devil himself. You want that person to be pleased with you. You can't deal inside of yourself with the rejection of anybody or anybody's disapproval or disagreement. It's a hard position to be in and something that's very hard to heal from. But that's how I ended up with somebody like that. But we have to remember too, that I always joke with people, I have all these pop culture references, but they're helpful. I always say, it's not like Chucky came into my office with, you know, with a weapon and a striped shirt and disheveled hair and said, Hey, baby, that doesn't do it for me. I don't think anybody would go on a date with Chucky. We have to remember even. Ted Bundy, the serial killer. He was charming and handsome, wasn't he? Mm-hmm. And that's how they lure us in. So even though my initial impression of my ex was [00:25:00] not a good one, I kind of had this hypervigilant detection system. Like, oh no, I know you buddy. You don't even have to say two words. I know who you are. I didn't listen to it because he didn't approve of me. And that, that just trumped everything I had to win his approval. So once I got him to like me a little bit enough to let me in, well then he saw a vulnerable, codependent, people pleasing opportunity to take advantage and take control. And that's exactly what he did. But, but I'm gonna be very clear about this because I'm big on accountability. Sure. Looking back, I mean, it's not my fault that I was raised that way. It's not my fault necessarily that I was vulnerable to a romantic relationship like that. But I do see that, for example, my biological father, who I have a wonderful relationship with, he had two daughters and [00:26:00] like my one sister, the oldest, one of the two, they were raised in a home by two loving parents who wanted them, supported them, encouraged them, took them to church every Sunday. You know what we would think is, uh, I hate to use the word normal, but normal, nice family, right? Oie. Yeah. It would be healthy. She has self-esteem. She knows who she is. She has boundaries. I didn't, I was none of that. So if you would've put her in that same situation I was in with my ex back then, she would not have entertained it in the slightest, right? She would've set that boundary and said, no, thank you. Have a nice day, and that would've been it. Um, me, like I said, just a little bit different. And I think unfortunately, a lot of people that fall into these romantic relationships do have that sense of needing to have the approval and needing to, please other people for whatever reason. And sometimes it's ironically not even a bad childhood. Sometimes [00:27:00] it's this personality that we call the parentified daughter. It could be a daughter of a very nice family, but the oldest daughter who had to help mom with the siblings or it could be the daughter mm-hmm. Of an alcoholic or somebody with a drug dependency who had to be the parent to the parents and to the other children. The parentified daughter that has this intense, uh. She's compelled to nurture and care for and take care of everybody. She subdues her own needs and takes care of everybody. But it's like these narcissistic or abusive people. Um, they can just sense that It's like they can sniff it out because that's exactly what they want you to do. You jump through the hoops and I will give you a treat. I mean, I liken it and gasping for air, oftentimes to being like a dog. I, if I was a good girl, which he actually used that verbiage with me, good girl, good girl all the time. If I said the right thing, good girl. Even [00:28:00] in the bedroom, good girl. It's sad when I look back on what I tolerated, but, um, if I was a good girl, then he treated me okay for a few days. But boy, if he saw that, I said or did something he didn't approve of, well, then I suffered consequences. I think this is a great time to stop our conversation. For now. I definitely wanna hear the rest of what she has to say. She has given us so many gold nuggets today as she has the first time she was on the show, and I really, want to continue the conversation with her a little bit further though. I do encourage you to come back the next time on the wounds of the Faithful podcast. I wish you a great week. God bless you and bye for now.

Send us a textIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I dive into one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of business growth: recognizing when you're running your business from old wounds and unexamined narratives. These patterns—from fear of rejection to over-responsibility—often show up as overworking, people-pleasing, control, and burnout. While these wounds may have helped you survive in the past, they're not the fuel you want for building the business or life you truly desire. I share how to spot these patterns and why the work isn't about erasing them but learning to take back the wheel with clarity, courage, and intention.Harmonize docs mentioned:Tara ToniniLeo BiermanJoseph HootsKristin Cheng (I forgot to mentioned her name in the podcast!

Its tiome for more purulent discharge in the form of another Anointing The Sick Show highlighting the very best in extreme metal. There is a heavy doom chart prescence this week with the show kicking off with Italian stoners Rhino. Much of this episode contains stner doom bands but the filth pit has spewed forth some inpenetrable blackened deathgrind in the form of Maurda. As usual, I've highlighted some albums you may have missed last year but the second part of the show gives a taste of what has been on offer over the last few weeks and are highly recommended by the Blog.

Can belief leave a mark on the body?In this episode of The Bizarre AF, we explore stigmata—the mysterious wounds said to mirror Christ's crucifixion. From the divine visions of St. Francis of Assisi to the controversy around Padre Pio, we dive into the Catholic Church's stance, the canonization process, and what Roman crucifixions really looked like.We also explore modern psychology: how trauma and deep empathy can physically manifest through conditions like conversion disorder and mirror-touch synesthesia.Is stigmata a miracle… or the body's way of telling a sacred story?
Societal Division is deep. I call it Tribal Dynamics and it is seductive and can be tricky. Power over structures create a unconscious "us vs. them" dynamic.And if you dont match their expectations, then you end up being that black sheep person and it's painful, alienating, and confusing.For me, this pattern showed up early—starting as far back as grade school. Feeling singled out to carry the Tribe's tension and unconscious trauma that I felt so deeply. Being excluded because my moral value didnt match theirs and my psychic and intuitive sensory system was such a old soul, I felt like this tribal world was one I never felt I belonged to. Over time, I realized this isn't about me.CAN YOU RELATE? It's about the Tribe's way of managing stress and discomfort. Often, when leaders or so called authority don't have the tools to regulate their own anxiety or seek support, they unconsciously scapegoat someone to keep control. And here's the kicker: we all carry these broken Tribal or family field patterns around with us. They shape how we show up in communities, technology, governance, workplaces, and relationships.Deep within us, ancient archetypes influence our interactions - the wounded ones, the leaders, the outsiders, and the healers. These timeless patterns can either trap us in cycles of pain or liberate us to live more authentically.So, what's the way out?I developed a simple but powerful approach to healing these broken energetic and holographic stored memory fields. It starts by identifying the unconscious contracts we've made—agreements our essential selves made long ago to survive Tribal dynamics that felt unsafe or painful.Then, through a process of recognition, compassion, and conscious revoking, we can release those contracts. We give ourselves permission to belong, to be seen as whole and worthy — not as the scapegoat or outsider.It's transformative.I've guided myself and others through this journey. Slowly, the suspicion of the power over and power under state softens. The expectation of exclusion fades. And a sense of connection and true belonging grows.If you resonate with this, I invite you to explore this healing further with me.If you're looking for a personalized, real-time way to apply these healing principles and access your inner guidance whenever Tribal Dynamics feel overwhelming or confusing, The Light Between Oracle Journey is your intuitive mentor in your pocket.Designed to help you navigate social stress with clarity and calm, it supports you in making grounded decisions and reclaiming your personal agency — anytime you need it. More on that in a moment...We all carry an imprint of our broken fields with us wherever we go. When we have been battered by social trauma, it gets scary to go into groups, and our nervous system is impacted. We gaslight or flow into alternate states between being frozen and being in fight, /flight, and alarmed aloneness. We anticipate more social trauma. We carry a “broken group field” or a “broken family field” with us, which leaves an easy partnership slot open for the predator and prey dance to begin. What can we do with this pervasive pattern? The most effective way that I have found to disarm this dysfunctional ritual and silent contracts.We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds — the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.If you're ready to stop feeling isolated within Tribal Dynamics and start reclaiming your belonging with clarity and confidence, I invite you to experience The Light Between Oracle 5-Layer Journey.Each guiding light oracle blends ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience — giving you tools to tune into your internal GPS and confidently navigate even the most challenging social situations.The one guide I recommend is Empathica.

It's for next-era leaders who seek the deeper road — reclaiming their power and trust in their inner wisdom, no matter the chaos around them.Until next time, keep seeking the light between the noise and your deepest truth.If you've ever felt the sting of exclusion or the weight of broken Tribal Dynamics, know this: healing and belonging are possible.I'm often asked….“How does the oracle experience include neuroscience and hows it help us heal?”It's critical. In 22 years of working one on one intimately with clients, I know first hand that if we are not seen, heard and loved without judgement - growth is almost impossible.Holographic energy within the emotional body and neuroscience shares how any level of trauma creates self-blame, shame and isolation.Societal programming makes us think we are broken, that we have character flaws, when in actuality we make perfect sense, given the challenging experiences of aloneness, isolation, relational trauma and more that characterize most modern, capitalist power over structures.We are uniquely vulnerable to harm, but we are also uniquely available to hold each other and ourselves with warmth and resonance in ways that re-establish real, intimate relationships and engage our mind, body, heart, soul and energetic capacity for healing.In upcoming content, I'll share practical tools and insights to help you recognize these patterns in your life and begin the journey toward integration and inner peace.Stay tuned. You're not alone on this path.Sending you warmth and trust and divine love.

ALL human brains are wired for safety. But because of the childhood trauma and dysfunctional patterns you grew up with, that wiring is intensified in your brain. ‘Creating safety' is what guides ALL your decisions, to the point that it's prioritized over achieving new goals (like weight loss). The core issue is that safety feels OUT of your control; You don't realize it, but you learned to rely on an UNSTABLE person to create that sense of safety, which only leaves you pleasing and appeasing, trying to manage someone else's volatile emotions and actions. Not only has this rewired your brain, but it's conditioned your nervous system to live in such a heightened state of fight/flight. It's time to break the cycle. If you truly want to lose weight and keep it off for life, you have to first HEAL your core wounds, heal your relationship with food, and heal your relationship with yourself. I'll show you how. Schedule your free Break the Cycle Call and I'll help you better understand how these cycles play out in your own life, so that you know exactly where and how to break them. www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc PS - I'm on a mission to help 30 people lose 30 pounds this year!

How do you stop being a victim of your past and start practicing self-mastery in your second half?In this raw and transformative episode, Dennis Procopio shares his journey from extreme childhood trauma to becoming a life coach for men. After experiencing physical and sexual abuse, homelessness, and multiple jail stays, Dennis discovered a life-changing truth: emotions are choices, not automatic reactions. His breakthrough came in jail when he observed men who had found peace through spiritual practice and personal responsibility. "Just because you felt the feeling doesn't mean you have an obligation to choose to emote what you've learned to emote," Dennis explains. This insight shifted him from victim to self-mastery.The conversation explores Dennis's "spotless mirror" coaching philosophy and his three-tool emergency package for anyone struggling. How do we break free from justifying destructive behavior? What does it mean to become a mirror without judgment for others? Dennis reveals how removing self-judgment transforms all relationships and why "all judgment is self-judgment." He offers practical wisdom on meditation, self-validation, and recognizing the tremendous support that surrounds us even when we can't see it. His message is clear: don't give up - we're all waiting for your unique gifts to emerge.Dennis Procopio is the founder of Man-UP! Life Coaching (MULC), an award-winning program designed exclusively for men. With over a decade of experience and more than 10,000 hours of one-on-one coaching, Dennis and his team have helped hundreds of men reclaim control of their lives, develop discipline, discover purpose, and find inner peace. From traumatic childhood and early imprisonment on Rikers Island to surviving Hurricane Katrina and raising an autistic child with dwarfism, Dennis has lived through extraordinary challenges. These experiences have forged his no-nonsense, results-driven approach to coaching men through their toughest transitions.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined.

Shame is one of the most powerful weapons a narcissist uses to control you. And they use it because it works. You REALLY don't like feeling ashamed. But often they try to shame you, because THEY feel ashamed and they have such resistance to feeling it. And so what we've learned as the abuse cycle is actually the "shame-avoidance cycle." Shame gets you to shut down, shut up, and get in line... so they can feel better when their shame gets activated. But long after you've left the narcissistic dynamic, you still wrestle with the remnants of shame. Keep listening as I share how to truly break free and stop letting shame hold you back in your weight loss journey, with money and investments, in your career or business, and in finding new, healthy love. Ready to lose 30 pounds in the next 6 months? I'm taking 30 people on a healing journey, to not just lose 30 pounds of physical weight, but HUNDREDS of pounds of mental and emotional weight you've been carrying as a result of narcissistic abuse.

We explore the hidden habits that keep us stuck, the unconscious fear that fuels dysfunction, and how you can finally experience the kind of intimacy and power you've always wanted—without playing the blame game.
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/15/25 ; 04/16/25 ; 04/23/25 ; 04/24/25 ; 05/13/25 Does Hair, Dirt, or Clothing Count as a Barrier (Hatssitsa) Between the Tefillin and the Body? The Misva of wearing Tefillin requires the box (Bayit) of the Tefillin Shel Yad to be placed directly upon the skin. The Halacha introduces the concept of Hatssitsa—a barrier that interferes between the Tefillin and the arm. This Halacha explores what is considered a Hatssitsa, what kinds of materials invalidate the Misva, and how one should prepare the arm and head before wearing Tefillin to ensure full compliance. Does the Tefillin Shel Yad Need to Touch the Skin Directly? Yes. The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 27:4) states clearly that the Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad must rest directly on the skin, without any chatitsa (interruption) beneath it. This includes shirts, undershirts, sleeves, or even sweatbands. The retzuot (straps) may wrap over clothing, but the Bayit itself must not. If the Bayit is on top of a sleeve or bandage, the person has not fulfilled the Misva at all. It is as if the Tefillin were never worn. Is Hair Considered a Barrier? Hair is part of the body and is not considered a Hatssitsa. The Poskim clarify that normal arm or head hair does not interfere with the Misva. Even a full head of hair—curly, thick, or long—is not inherently problematic. However, the issue arises when the hair is matted down with gel, spray, or dirt. If a person uses strong hair gel that forms a hard crust, or if sweat causes the hair to stick together like a shield, then some Poskim consider that a potential barrier. The Halachic principle is: if the material is foreign and not naturally part of the body, and if it is something people would normally remove (like crusted gel or thick mud), then it could be considered a Hatssitsa. What About Hair Gel, Sweat, or Oil? This is a common question. Light gel that keeps hair in place but does not form a crust is generally permitted. If the gel is soft and pliable and does not act as a thick layer between the Bayit and the scalp, then one may place the Tefillin Shel Rosh over it. But if the gel hardens into a shell-like layer that creates a clear separation between the scalp and the Tefillin, that can be a problem. Similarly, sweat is not a problem unless it is mixed with something foreign—such as dried mud or blood. If the skin is sweaty or slightly oily, that is still considered skin. To avoid questions, it's best to wash or wipe the forehead before wearing Tefillin Shel Rosh, especially if a person has oily skin, applied lotion, or used hair products. What About Bandages, Gauze, or Wounds? If there is a bandage on the arm or forehead, that does count as a Hatssitsa. In such cases, the person must try to remove the bandage or find a way to position the Bayit on clean, uncovered skin. If there is a wound, and removing the bandage would cause pain or bleeding, and there is no area to place the Tefillin properly, then one is exempt from the Misva of the Tefillin Shel Yad for that day. However, he should still wear the Tefillin Shel Rosh, assuming the head is unaffected. If only part of the bicep is covered, and there is still enough exposed skin to place the Bayit, then he may proceed and fulfill the Misva. Can a Sleeve Be Pulled Over the Arm After Tefillin Is Put On? Yes, after the Tefillin Shel Yad is in place and the Beracha has been recited, one may pull a sleeve over the arm to keep warm or to keep the Tefillin hidden. However, this is not ideal. Many have the custom to leave the Tefillin exposed, at least partially, as a sign of pride and public sanctification. But if a person is cold or concerned for safety (such as walking in public), it is permissible to cover the Tefillin after the fact. Just make sure the Tefillin was placed directly on the skin to begin with. What If the Retzuah Is Twisted or Touches Clothing? The strap (retzuah) may touch clothing or twist slightly along the arm. This is not a problem. The requirement for direct skin contact applies only to the Bayit—not the strap. However, if the knot of the Tefillin is wrapped in a way that causes the Bayit to be lifted off the skin or sit at an angle, that can be a problem. The Tefillin must sit flush with the arm or head. Summary - The Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad must rest directly on the skin, with no barrier. - Hair is not a problem unless hardened by thick gel or dirt that creates a crust. - Sweat or light oil does not invalidate the Misva. - Bandages are a Hatssitsa and must be removed, unless medically necessary. - A person may cover the Tefillin with clothing after they are properly placed. - The strap may touch clothing; only the Bayit requires direct contact with the skin.

This extensive book explores the profound impact of absent fathers and societal expectations of strength on Black men, emphasizing the "unspoken burden" of emotional suppression. It highlights how historical and systemic barriers intertwine with personal experiences of loss, leading to cycles of isolation. The source then transitions to discuss pathways to healing, stressing the importance of vulnerability, self-compassion, and open communication within families and communities. Ultimately, it advocates for a redefinition of masculinity that integrates resilience with tenderness and authentic emotional expression, aiming to foster a legacy of love, connection, and collective well-being for future generations.You can buy it now at: https://amzn.to/3GsthlbCheck it out and other books by Felipe Khristopher Blue and his team at: https://amazon.com/author/mistertherapist

Do you wonder why certain relationships trigger deep fear, anxiety, or an aching sense of emptiness, no matter how much you know better?In this powerful episode of Be A Better You Podcast, emotional abuse recovery coach Allison dives into the truth about abandonment wounds and rejection wounds that often start in childhood but keep sabotaging your adult life.You'll discover:✨ 7-10 relatable examples of how childhood emotional wounds show up in your relationships, self-worth, and emotional triggers.✨ Why understanding your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, disorganized, or secure) is helpful—but can also keep you stuck if you use it as an excuse instead of a starting point for healing.✨ The difference between coping and true emotional freedom and why so many women stay trapped in patterns of abandonment and rejection despite years of therapy or self-help.✨ How childhood trauma and rejection wounds shape your nervous system, beliefs about love, and how safe you feel being your authentic self.✨ A gentle invitation to break free from old wounds to explore what's keeping you stuck and how healing at the subconscious level can set you free.Whether you've been told “you're too much,” or you're the woman who's successful on the outside but secretly terrified of being alone, this episode is for you.
Bandaids are undeniably handy, and there are plenty of situations where they do the job that needs doing. But there are also lots of times when a wound is too big, too irregular, or too sensitive for a bandaid to be the best choice. That's where bespoke bandaging comes into play! You can learn bandaging basics really quickly – yes, even through podcast audio – and that's what today's episode is all about.Bandages are extremely versatile and customizable – even without getting a dozen different types of gauze and pads. Truly, a box of 2″ and 4″ roller gauze, plus some gauze pads and micropore tape, is plenty for most situations you'll run into. For the purposes of practice, they're all you need to get started.When you're practicing your bandaging technique, your big goal is to make the bandages neat, secure, and yet still allowing for a normal range of motion. The best way to get good at this is to practice. The best way to practice is to get some friends together for a “mummy party”, where everyone gets bandaged by everyone else!We're highlighting first aid herbalism on the podcast all month.
