Podcasts about wrong people

In this episode of the Mental Healness Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Shara Ally; psychiatric nurse practitioner, professor, TEDx Top‑50 Charter Speaker, and creator of the viral #TooAttached Movement to talk about why we get too attached to the wrong people and how to rebuild self‑trust after narcissistic and toxic relationships. We dive into her journey from being the “uncool” hyper‑observant kid to leading global work in mental health, human behavior, and emotional resilience, and we unpack the patterns that keep smart, capable people stuck in cycles of shame, over‑functioning, and chasing validation. Dr. Ally shares insights from her upcoming book You Should Have Known Better, her work with NEUROorganics Inc. and Velora S. Press, and her own experiences of being devalued, name‑called, and undermined by partners who weaponized her success. You'll hear practical tools for breaking old attachment patterns, rising higher in your career and relationships, and rewriting your story with clarity, courage, and compassion—for yourself and others. Connect with Dr. Ally at sharaally.com or by email at hello@sharaally.com, and follow her work as she continues redefining emotional resilience and human transformation.

Ohio's attorney general described what investigators found in the Siders home as pure evil. The sheriff said his county's livestock were kept in better conditions than those sixteen children. Both officials saw the inside of that house with their own eyes. A Vinton County judge just told them they cannot talk about it.The gag order covers the AG's office, the prosecutor, the sheriff, the clerk, and defense counsel. It was filed by Gary Siders Junior's attorney citing inflammatory language. The judge agreed the statements could prejudice potential jurors. What the order also does is halt the public flow of information about how sixteen children went undetected for eighteen years — right when state legislators started asking the hardest questions.Gallia County filed truancy complaints against the family in 2021 after six children missed an entire school year. The court terminated every case three months later. Gary Senior was released from custody because Vinton County couldn't cover his medical costs. Ohio approved a million dollars in emergency funding for the children. The officials who uncovered these facts and shared them with the public are the ones now prohibited from speaking. The institutions that never found those kids have not been required to explain anything.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ever feel ALONE even when you're surrounded by people? Like no matter who is in the room, nobody's actually seeing the real you just the role you've been playing?Every single one of us walks around wearing LABELS and masks we didn't choose: the fixer, the healer, the reliable one, or even the black sheep. This week, bestselling author, mental wellness expert, and medical speech-language pathologist LAUREN POLLY is back to help you understand where those roles come from, why we adapt to them, and how to stop letting them run your life.In this episode, Lauren opens up about her personal 20-year journey navigating a diagnosis of bipolar disorder at age 14, and how she learned to find her true voice underneath that label.In this episode, you'll learn:The Reality of PROJECTION: How the people around you constantly cast you into roles based on what they need, not who you actually are. Lauren shares a raw story of being cast as the "villain" at work and how she navigated it using SELF-TRUST instead of self-blame.The Trap of "Positive" Labels: Why being the designated "fixer" or "healer" is a gift, but can easily become a cage when it's the only part of you allowed to exist.The Power of MICRO MOMENTS: Why you don't need to blow up your whole life to change. Lauren breaks down how small, low-risk daily shifts can safely reconnect you with the buried parts of yourself.Rethinking BOUNDARIES: Why "cancel culture" style boundaries and completely cutting people off aren't always the answer, and how real freedom ultimately comes down to one question: Who are you when the room is confused about you?This week is all about building the self-trust to stop performing, drop the act, and start living as your whole, real self.Connect with Lauren Polly Website: https://laurenpolly.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenpollycoach/→ → → CONNECT WITH PEDRO FRIAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ▶︎ YOUTUBE | https://www.youtube.com/realpedrofrias ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/pedromfrias ▶︎ FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/pedro.frias.7927408 ▶︎ LINKEDIN | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pedrofrias/ ▶︎ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/pedromfrias ▶︎ WEBSITE | https://www.pedrofrias.co

- Tom Shattuck from The Maine Wire fills in for Gerry. - The episode opens with a Cape Cod bridge police chase and then zeroes in on the suspect's immigration status, arguing that a repeat-offender illegal immigrant from Panama was repeatedly released by Massachusetts judges despite a long record of violent arrests and police encounters. - A major focus is the contrast between patriotic Fourth of July celebrations and a progressive political class that treats America 250 as a platform for anti-American grievance, identity politics, and attacks on the country's founding ideals. - The show also hammers Zohran Mamdani, Gavin Newsom, and Jasmine Crockett for using the holiday weekend to frame America as oppressive, corrupt, and structurally broken instead of celebrating the nation's history and achievements. - The episode closes by praising President Trump's Independence Day speech for directly attacking communism, defending the American founding, and drawing a hard line between patriotism and the ideological movement now trying to rewrite the country's history.

In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, we take you inside The MSP Growth Hub for a look at what happened during the May 2026 Intensive event. Ian Luckett is joined by his business partner Stuart Warwick and coaches Julie Hutchison and Peter Williamson, each sharing what unfolded across two days dedicated to helping MSP owners build stronger, more capable teams. At the heart of the conversation is MSP team alignment, and why it sits right at the centre of scaling a business with confidence.     Stuart opens by explaining the theory behind the Intensive itself. The MSP Growth Hub runs this event three times a year, and each one is themed around one of the three pillars of the Scale with Confidence model. This May the focus was Amplify Capacity, using a framework called Embed and Connect to help growing MSPs align their people behind the strategy and goals of the business. Stuart describes how the vision and annual plan cascade down into a sixteen week plan, then into departmental plans, then into a daily and weekly rhythm across the business. This is MSP team alignment in practice, connecting people to systems, plans and direction so the business becomes a genuine asset rather than something that owns the owner.     Ian reflects that around eighty percent of the challenges MSP owners bring to The MSP Growth Hub trace back to a leadership opportunity rather than a team problem. He and Stuart discuss the difference between a peer group and a structured programme, and how pausing to look back at progress is often the moment clients realise how far they have actually come. That pause, built into the Intensive itself, gives them the chance to calibrate against others on the same journey, working towards genuine MSP team alignment rather than isolated effort, and walk away with practical steps rather than vague encouragement.     Julie takes listeners through her session on maximising team dynamics, focused squarely on MSP team alignment through clarity of function and clarity of requirements. She shares a memorable exercise called There's Been a Breach, where clients were deliberately given incomplete information about roles and responsibilities. The resulting confusion mirrored exactly what happens back in their own businesses when expectations are not clearly set. Julie explains that most people arrive at work wanting to do a good job, and that a leader's role is to set them up to succeed by removing ambiguity around who owns what.     Peter Williamson, newer to The MSP Growth Hub coaching team, brings his background in governance to the conversation. He describes helping clients map every function in their business against the people who currently hold the skills to deliver it, revealing gaps that point directly to training needs or new hires. Peter's simple diagnostic question, asking each team member whether they understand their role and have what they need to do it well, proved to be a powerful starting point for many owners in the room. He also shares a story from one client who, after embedding clearer roles and responsibilities, took a holiday for the first time in three years because their team could confidently carry on without them.     Across all three conversations, a consistent thread emerges. MSP team alignment is not a soft nice to have, it is the mechanism that turns a business from something the owner is trapped inside into something that can scale on its own rhythm. Whether through cascading plans, clarity exercises, or mapping skills against functions, the Intensive gave clients practical tools alongside the confidence to use them.     The episode closes with a reminder that these insights are available to any MSP owner ready to bring more structure to their team. Getting the fundamentals of roles, responsibilities and communication right creates the foundation for sustainable growth, freeing owners to lead rather than firefight.     How to build a high performing technical team, when you do not know where to start by Ian Luckett  STOP Attracting the Wrong People to Your MSP with Julie Hutchison and Ian Luckett     Ready to find out if we're the right fit to help you scale?

Why do people who do wrong seem to succeed while you're trying to do what's right? Psalm 73 speaks directly to that struggle.

In this episode of Stop Sabotaging Your Success, Cindy Esliger explores a difficult truth about career growth: not everyone in a professional circle is invested in seeing someone succeed. She explains how women in engineering and other male-dominated workplaces can mistake politeness for genuine support, especially when supportive relationships feel scarce. Cindy challenges us to stop assuming that proximity equals loyalty and instead become intentional about who we trust, who we seek advice from, and who we allow to influence important career decisions. Cindy outlines how to see five warning signs that someone may not be the ally they appear to be: 1. Watch how people react to our wins, 2. Notice who only reaches out when they need something, 3. Pay attention to chronic interrupters and dismissals, 4. Watch what people do when we show vulnerability, and 5. Watch for the people who introduce us as one of the boys, not as unique. She also challenges several flawed beliefs that keep us stuck in unhelpful relationships, including the idea that any mentor is better than no mentor, that networking means being nice to everyone, and that toxic relationships should be maintained because they might be useful someday.  To build a stronger support system, Cindy encourages us to create a career board of directors intentionally made up of five key roles: 1. Cheerleaders, 2. Allies, 3. Mentors, 4. Advocates, and 5. Supporters. She also shares six practical strategies for evaluating current relationships, creating distance from energy-draining connections, building honest feedback loops, and ensuring a support network evolves alongside career goals. Her message is clear: a carefully curated inner circle is not just a nice-to-have. It can become a powerful competitive advantage.

He's never denied a single vacation request. Zero abuse. Eight figures in revenue. He'll tell you exactly how he makes it work with KPIs, trust, and the right hiring strategy.Billie Tarascio tried it. She watched roughly 25% of her team take advantage of the policy, her A-players got fed up, and she eventually scrapped it entirely, replacing it with a progressive PTO system that gives employees up to 6 weeks off and a full sabbatical at 10 years.Same policy. Completely different outcomes. So who's right?In this episode, you'll learn:How Kevin built a culture where 100% of vacation requests get approved  and no one abuses itThe 3 accountability pillars Kevin uses instead of tracking days: KPIs, client satisfaction scores, and anonymous peer reviewsWhy Billie says unlimited PTO attracted the wrong candidates and created a "cushiest job" reputationWhat actually caused Billie's A-players to revolt  and how she handled taking the benefit awayWhether a tiered PTO system (unlimited for lawyers, structured for staff) is actually legalWhat both owners wish they'd known before implementing the policyWhether you're building your first firm or rethinking your benefits structure, this conversation will sharpen how you think about freedom, accountability, and culture.Highlights00:00 – Introduction: The Great Unlimited PTO Debate01:06 – Kevin Cheney: Why He's Been All-In for 8 Years03:39 – How Kevin Defines "Crazy" (Hint: He Doesn't Write It Down)07:18 – Why Employees Don't Always Believe It's Real10:05 – How Much Vacation Do People Actually Take?12:32 – Tracking PTO as a KPI?15:15 – The Hidden Advantage: No Payroll Tracking Headaches18:00 – Zero Abuses in 10 Years, Seriously19:06 – Has Kevin Ever Doubted the Policy?25:13 – The 3 Accountability Pillars That Replace Day Counting28:58 – What Kevin Would Do Differently31:21 – Kevin's Advice to Someone Who Tried It and Failed34:18 – Part 2: Billie Tarascio's Story36:02 – When Unlimited PTO Worked for Billie38:44 – When the A-Players Revolted42:19 – How Bad Did the Freeloader Problem Get?

Most leaders think the problem is accountability. Chris Hallberg says the real problem is trust, and accountability is simply what starts to fall apart when trust is missing. In this episode, Chris, a military veteran, entrepreneur, and EOS implementer recognized by Inc. Magazine as a top 10 global leadership expert, explains why smart teams with big goals still struggle to execute. The issue often comes down to focus, clarity, and honest conversations about who is truly on the bus and where the bus is going. Most organizations are not struggling because they lack goals; they are struggling because they have too many of them. Chris brings the discipline of military thinking into the messy reality of building companies, using ideas like Lencioni's trust pyramid and the fire triangle of business problems to offer a practical new lens for team performance, meetings, and culture.

In this episode of the Womanifester Podcast, we're diving deeper into the desire series with a juicy question:Who should you actually tell your desires to?Because not everyone deserves front-row access to your dreams.Katie explores why sharing your desires with the wrong people can plant seeds of doubt, even when those people love you and mean well. Sometimes the people closest to us want to “protect” us by keeping us realistic, but realism is not where manifestation magic lives.This episode is all about discerning who can actually hold your vision with you, who might unconsciously shrink it, and how to protect your desires until they are ready to bloom.Katie also expands on the Human Design manifestation piece from the previous episode, specifically the difference between being a specific manifester and a general manifester. She explains how the bottom right arrow in your Human Design chart can offer insight into whether you manifest best through clear details or through the felt sense of what you desire.Inside the episode, Katie also shares a personal full-circle moment from guiding a yoga retreat in Peru, reflecting on a 10-year manifestation that came true and the hilarious realization of what she forgot to include in the original vision.In this episode, we cover:Why you should not share your desires with people who cannot support themHow loving people can still unintentionally plant seeds of doubtWho is safe to share your dreams, desires, and manifestations withWhy your journal, your creator, your coach, and sacred community can become desire-holding spacesThe role of the Somatic Circle as a manifestation and nervous system healing containerThe difference between specific manifestors and general manifestors in Human DesignHow specific manifestors can work with clear details, numbers, and specificsHow general manifestors can work with feelings, vibes, and energetic alignmentKatie's story of manifesting her Truckee River homeThe lesson she received from Peru about being clear not only on the dream, but also the money attached to the dreamWhy clarity is a key part of the manifestation processLinks & references mentioned:Free workshop on June 1, 2026 “What the F Do I Want?”https://whatthefdoiwant.subscribepage.io Somatic Circle Membership Join The Somatic Circle here https://womanifester.com/the-somatic-circleUpcoming free workshops in July, August, and September. Follow my adventures on Instagram @womanifester ✨Ready to protect your desires, get clear on what you actually want, and become a magnet for more peace, pleasure, play, purpose, and prosperity?

What you'll learn in this episode: Why every great business needs a “bench” of ready-to-go talent The three types of talent: potential, emerging, and proven Why proven talent is the best long-term investment—even if it costs more The right interview questions to uncover true character and culture fit How to spot patterns of success (and red flags) in a candidate's past The ultimate hiring filter: if it's not a hell yes, it's a no How building your bench protects your business from unexpected turnover  

The evidence across the D4VD case, Nancy Guthrie's alleged abduction, and the Duggar family allegations shares something uncomfortable in common — each allegedly involves a system designed to protect people that reportedly failed the people who needed it most. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke work through the most pressing questions across all three cases.The D4VD evidence demands accountability for every adult who allegedly had proximity to the relationship between David Burke and fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The alleged chainsaw purchases, the reported international travel with a minor using fake identification, and the three missing persons reports that allegedly changed nothing fuel the most intense emotional engagement. Robin applies behavioral analysis to the alleged grooming patterns and what they reveal about operational planning.Nancy Guthrie's case draws questions about alleged institutional breakdown at the investigative level. The FBI allegedly locked out for four days. A porch suspect allegedly caught on camera with amateur disguise elements. Ransom demands allegedly made in Bitcoin and never collected. Three months with no arrest. Robin provides the federal investigative context for understanding what the alleged friction between Pima County and the FBI may have cost.The Duggar segment connects Joseph's charges to the alleged family pattern. Recorded jail calls. Jim Bob's email. An alleged religious framework that substituted forgiveness for reporting. The alleged line from Josh to Joseph — and whether the system allegedly breaks or allegedly repeats.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hiring is one of the hardest things for first-time founders to get right, especially if you're building a distributed team that spans the globe. For this episode, I spoke to Isaac Saul Kassab, co-founder of Pearl Talent, a recruiting firm that helps startups hire offshore teams. We break down the underlying hiring frameworks founders can actually use, whether you're hiring locally or globally. We get into how to write tighter job descriptions, evaluating candidates beyond their resumes, and why so many founders waste time interviewing the wrong people. Isaac also walks through how he thinks about onboarding as a filtering mechanism and why early hiring mistakes are often unavoidable (but manageable if you move quickly). If you're building your first team — or trying to fix a hiring process that just isn't working — this episode gives you a practical starting point. How to define a role around outcomes instead of responsibilities Why you should cut 30–40% from your job description before you post it The interview questions that surface real signal (and filter out noise) How to assess curiosity, coachability, and long-term fit Why onboarding should be designed to expose failure early The most common mistakes founders make when hiring offshore What kind of hiring failure rate to expect as a first-time founder RUNTIME 31:31 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (3:32) The Hiring Problem That Created Pearl Talent (9:56) How to Fix a Broken Hiring Process (Sourcing, Vetting, Onboarding) (14:08) How to Evaluate Candidates Beyond the Resume (17:25) Why Most Founders Hire the Wrong People (22:05) “If You Don't Invest in the Person, You Get Failure” (25:29) Your First Offshore Hire: Start by Working Backwards (28:18) A Simple Hiring Playbook You Can Use Tomorrow LINKS Pearl Talent Isaac Saul Kassab Monty Ngan SUBSCRIBE

In this episode of the Unapologetically Rich Show, Shamina Taylor gets real about one of the most overlooked wealth blockers in business and in life. The things you are holding on to that you already know need to go. Whether it is a team member you have been meaning to let go for months, a relationship that expired long ago, or a story from the past that is still quietly occupying space in your present, Shamina breaks down why holding on is not loyalty or love. It is a landing pad problem. When you are filling the space with what no longer serves you, there is nowhere for the abundance to land. Shamina shares her own raw experience and what happened the moment that person left. A volcano of cash. A quantum leap. Money coming in within days that most people do not see in a year. And the lesson she will never forget about trusting her instincts the first time. This episode is equal parts business strategy and inner work, because how you hold on in one area of your life is how you hold on everywhere. Your team, your relationships, your money. It is all connected. In this episode you will discover: Why the universe cannot deliver what you are asking for when you have no space to receive it How holding on to the wrong team member is directly blocking your cash flow and opportunities Why the patterns you run in your relationships show up identically in your business What happened when Shamina finally let go and the quantum leap that followed How to trust your instincts the first time instead of giving second and third chances that cost you Why comfort is one of the most expensive things a high-achieving woman can afford What to ask yourself right now if you know there is someone in your life or business it is time to release The only thing standing between you and the next level might not be a strategy. It might be the thing you already know you need to let go of.

SUMMARY: Aaron, Terryn, and recruiting specialist Taylor Longden pull back the curtain on what a real recruiting process looks like from start to finish. From crafting the right job post and filtering through hundreds of applicants to asking the questions that actually reveal whether someone is the right fit, they break down every step The Collab Team uses to take the guesswork out of hiring. They also get honest about the mistakes visionaries make most often, hiring on gut instinct, stretching one role too thin, and posting in a way that quietly repels great candidates before they even apply.

"Maybe we're just picking the wrong people to be vets."You've probably heard some version of that line. Maybe you've even said it. 'The new grads can't cope. The younger generation is too soft. If this profession isn't working for you, maybe the profession isn't the problem - maybe you are.'But what if that's the wrong conversation entirely? Maybe it's not the people who need to change - but the job itself.That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Dr Rebecca Faris, the lead of the Australian Veterinary Association's Thrive programme - an industry attempt to figure out how we make veterinary medicine a profession people can actually stay in and enjoy.You'll learn:Why a full-time working week in veterinary medicine probably shouldn't be 40 hours - and the official position from Safe Work Australia that will surprise youThe difference between psychological safety and psychosocial safety (one is a vibe, the other is the law - and if you own a practice in Australia, you need to know which is which)What the new psychosocial safety legislation actually requires of practice owners Why "playing to your strengths" isn't the same as avoiding the hard stuff - and how to have that conversation with your employer without sounding like you're asking for special treatmentThe invisible emotional labour tax you're paying on every consult - and why recognising it changes everythingWhat genuinely great veterinary workplaces are doing differently, and why the "squeaky wheel" narrative is drowning out stories of practices that are getting it rightWhy "I can't hack full-time" might not mean there's something wrong with you - and the self-compassion case for rethinking what a sustainable vet career actually looks likeHow to get involved in shaping the future of this profession instead of quietly checking outIf you've ever felt wrecked at the end of a perfectly normal day and wondered whether it was you or the job - this one's for you.Resources mentioned:The Thrive Programme and 2025 Wellbeing Survey: ava.com.au/thriveCultivating Safe Teams training (AVA)2026 Thrive Wellness Symposium at the AVA Conference, Brisbane, 19 May 2026Safe Work Australia - psychosocial hazards guidanceThis episode is not an ad.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor and Adam Harris go deeper into what it really takes to get a business unstuck, moving beyond surface-level fixes to uncover the root causes holding companies back.They explore why so many businesses face the same issues again and again, and why most teams jump to solutions too quickly without properly identifying the real problem. Using tools like the EOS Issue Solving Track (IDS) and simple but powerful W questions (Who, What, When, Where, Why), they explain how to dig deeper and solve issues properly the first time.A major theme in this conversation is clarity. Without it, teams become reactive, communication breaks down, and founders feel increasingly overwhelmed as the business grows. Debra and Adam highlight how lack of clarity around roles, expectations, and outcomes leads directly to stagnation.They also discuss the importance of accountability, structured meetings, and consistent practice. High-performing teams don't just talk about issues, they build the muscle to solve them through repetition, trust, and open, honest conversations.The episode also tackles tough topics like having the wrong people in key roles, unproductive meetings, and early warning signs that a business is losing traction. Founders are encouraged to step back, take a clarity break, and seek external support such as coaches, mentors, or peer groups to gain perspective and momentum.If your business feels stuck in cycles of the same problems, this episode provides practical tools and mindset shifts to help you regain clarity, fix root causes, and move forward with confidence.

If your email list is growing but your sales aren't, your lead magnet might be the problem. And unfortunately, no amount of “better emails” will fix it. In this episode, you'll learn how to spot when you're attracting the wrong people (even if your opt-in is wildly popular) to your email funnel, and what to do instead to bring in buyers, not just subscribers. Because the truth is, your email funnel doesn't sell when the wrong people are in it.TAKEAWAYS:Your email funnel isn't broken, your lead magnet might be. If the wrong subscribers are entering into your email funnel, even the most strategic emails won't sell.The size of the “gap” matters more than you think. The bigger the leap between where your subscriber is and where they need to be to buy, the harder it is to convert them into paying clients.More leads does not equal more sales. A viral or high-performing lead magnet can still attract completely unqualified subscribers to your email funnel.The best lead magnets are rooted in subscriber readiness. You need to meet people where they are and guide them to the next logical step, not overwhelm them.Your most powerful lead magnet is probably already inside your paid program.

Why is everyone so quick to question victims? Why are there still school shootings? Why are the rich untouchable? How come we don't care about women or children anymore?

In this episode, we explore why we often date the wrong people first and how that is actually part of discovering who we are. What begins as a light conversation about spring break quickly evolves into a deeper discussion about identity, relationships, and the psychology behind the choices we make in love.We start with the cultural evolution of spring break. From the early days of MTV Spring Break and the controversial era of Girls Gone Wild to today's reality television landscape, pop culture has always been fascinated with young people trying to figure themselves out. But beneath the entertainment, there is a deeper question worth asking. What are these moments really teaching us about connection, attraction, and identity?From there, we explore the shift in reality television. Some shows lean into physical attraction and impulsive decision making, while others focus on emotional connection and compatibility. Shows like Love Island and Love Is Blind highlight two very different approaches to relationships, yet both reveal something important about how people navigate love when they are still figuring out who they are.Then we zoom out to the psychology behind it all. Drawing from developmental theories such as Erikson's stages of development and the concept of emerging adulthood between the ages of eighteen and twenty five, we unpack why this phase of life is so critical. It is a time of exploration, confusion, growth, and sometimes poor decisions that ultimately shape identity.We introduce the concept of identity fidelity, which is the ability to truly know yourself and show up as the same person in every environment. Whether you are with friends, family, or in a relationship, consistency in identity becomes the foundation for healthy connections. Without that clarity, people often fall into patterns of seeking validation, changing themselves for others, or staying in relationships that do not align with who they really are.The conversation then moves closer to real life relationship dynamics. We discuss people pleasing tendencies and how they silently damage relationships over time. Avoiding difficult conversations might keep the peace in the short term, but it often leads to deeper issues later. Many relationships struggle not because of a lack of love, but because of a lack of honest communication.We also talk about the importance of maintaining friendships while dating. Having people in your life who can offer honest feedback and perspective is essential. Relationships should not exist in isolation, and the people around you often see things you might overlook.Throughout the episode, we connect personal stories with psychological insight to show that dating is not just about finding the right person. It is about becoming someone who understands themselves first. Without self awareness, even the best relationships can become unstable.We close with a simple but powerful takeaway. You need to figure out who you are before you try to build something meaningful with someone else.

This is the hidden energetic agreement that forms when people unconsciously believe that getting close to someone successful will elevate them.And for empaths, healers, and spiritual creators, this dynamic can be especially confusing — because it often comes wrapped in praise, admiration, and connection.In this episode, we explore:✨️ What happens energetically when you become visible online✨️ Why success makes you magnetic (and what that actually attracts)✨️ The shadow contract of proximity and how it forms✨️ Why empaths and highly sensitive creators are more vulnerable to this dynamic✨️ The unconscious agreement we make when we trade access for validation✨️ 3 clear signs someone is operating from a proximity contract✨️ How to discern between alignment and access-seeking✨️ The Queen of Swords archetype and how she helps you cut unconscious agreementsThis isn't about blaming others.Most people are unconscious of these patterns.This is about becoming aware of the energetic dynamics of success — so you can stay sovereign, clear, and aligned as your visibility grows.Because magnetism without discernment can become overwhelming.But magnetism with clarity becomes power.✨️✨ Inside my membership, I go deeper into this work through my Queen of Swords Gridwork Series, where I teach how to:- identify and release shadow contracts- understand the energetic grids you're participating in- develop discernment in your field as you grow your influence

This is a conversation many people are afraid to have openly.In today's world, people often look for someone to blame when things go wrong globally — whether it's war, economic struggles, or social breakdown.But the real question is this:Are entire groups of people responsible…or is it systems, power structures, and decisions made by those in control?In this episode, we break it down and challenge the way people think about blame, power, and responsibility.We ask:• Who actually controls resources and influence worldwide?• Are everyday people being blamed for decisions they never made?• Is the problem bigger than race — and more about power?• What systems are really affecting melaninated communities globally?This is not about attacking people.This is about understanding systems, history, and accountability.Drop your thoughts in the comments:Do you believe the problem is people… or systems?Tubebuddy Sign up and get 10% off:https://www.tubebuddy.com/pricing?a=RodpodcastSubscribe to My Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpGoXQiHmhEhE31POEBVgFw?sub_confirmation=1Channel URL:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpGoXQiHmhEhE31POEBVgFwR.O.D Merchandise:https://www.ebay.com/usr/junnsthebantuMusic by Epidemic Sound:https://www.epidemicsound.comRumble:https://rumble.com/c/c-7814620Facebook Group Page:https://www.facebook.com/REPENTORDIEPODCAST/Podcast on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4tp2Jpcea4x45aQqDUaugM?si=2bbd011de6e34618Instagram Page:https://www.instagram.com/rodpodcast1/Bitchute Link:https://www.bitchute.com/profile/Follow me on Reddit:https://www.reddit.com/user/repentordiepodcast/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonDonations:https://cash.app/$JunnstheBantuStore link:https://my-store-10383047.creator-spring.comTruth Social:https://truthsocial.com/@rodpodcast1

What's on Americans' minds? The latest primary election results offered a window into what voters are thinking about. In my home state of Texas, voters sent a clear signal by backing efforts to eliminate property taxes through spending reductions.Across the country, Americans are asking for the same things: lower taxes, a more affordable future, and a strong economy that creates opportunities. But too often, policymakers try to tax their way out of spending problems or regulate innovation — choices that threaten the very prosperity people are asking for.That's why in This Week's Economy, I'm breaking down how these issues are playing out in policy debates. From tariffs and taxes to government spending and regulation, these decisions directly shape whether American families can afford the future they're working toward — and policymakers can't afford to ignore them.Let's dive in!

What happens when you meet someone who looks like your long-lost twin… and then they also have an iconic backstory to match?  JVN is joined by Matt Newman (aka MattLovesHair on social media) for one helluva delightful conversation. From photoshoot fiascos, an ANTM-era detour, and Matt's origin story as an OG Drybar stylist. From there, it's all the hits - strip club stories, “DollarStoreJVN,” frat hazing, first love, and how social media can shape (and sometimes warp) the way we see ourselves. Then we go deeper: how gender expression evolves, what it takes to feel safe being seen, and the confidence it requires to live more honestly—even when the world has opinions. And yes… JVN talks about potentially chopping their hair off, what it was like cutting their hair back in the day, and what it taught them about identity, control, and change. If you've ever felt like you were editing yourself to fit the room, this one will hit—and leave you feeling a little braver.
