Welcome back to the program everyone. I don't think we really understand quite often what self-expression is and how crucial it is to our lives. But it's every way you express yourself: how you play tennis, how you walk the dog, how you interact with others, how you paint, how you draw, how your penmanship is, the words you choose, how you make love-the physical act of self expression.
This is all self expr...
Do you live with integrity? Are you whole?
Our leadership is lacking integrity.
In school we grow intellectually. We learn to regurgitate learning facts and figures while our emotions generally go unaddressed only to guide and govern our lives for good or bad. Parts of us get stuck in the past and run amuck. These emotions can ruin relationships and even our lives if we don't deal with them.

I've been going through a lot these days. The old beliefs are crashing down.
As babies we're 100% vulnerable and without boundaries. We learn through interacting with our caregivers. We respond to input and reactions. We then form a sense of self based upon this. Beliefs and emotional scaffolding begin to from. Almost on autopilot we live and trust this model into our 20's, 30's, 40's, and we simply accept this...
As Long As Rivers Run is a tale of lore, wisdom, and wonder; a story of hardship and healing in a rugged wilderness full of challenges and rewards. Protagonist Tom Dunagan was thrown into the role of a surgeon during the Civil War under conditions that yielded more sadness than success. The weight of the war is a cloak he struggles to shed. After the war, he and his 13 year-old daughter, Brooke, cross the Continenta...
ICE has been rounding people up without due process. Immigrants, typically of Hispanic descent, both legal and illegal, have been accused of the most heinous crimes. And yet, research shows they are one of the groups with the lowest violent crimes.
So what's really going on?
We're also told they don't pay their taxes. And yet, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policies states that illegal immigrants paid al...

Here goes:
We were born into humanity and then are indoctrinated into society. It's often like the square peg in the round hole. Society was born out of humanity to navigate life: laws, government, religions, institutions, the external of goods and services. What happens...

It's the economy stupid. Well, it's a lot more than that. Is the economy rigged? We often make political decisions based upon economic situations. And what a perfect time for this episode to air as our economy is rapidly changing under Trump's new tariffs and the rollbacks of many beloved and necessary programs.
*Please note, this interview took place beforehand, so we don't directly discuss that.*

New Year's resolution? Diet? Eat better for a few weeks, then go back to old habits? Well, maybe they aren't resolutions at all but wishful thinking.
Resolution means to be resolved, a firm decision to do something or not. But what if deeper beliefs run contrary to that "resolution" preventing you from getting that better body or better life and not eating emotionally.
Why keep going through that awful...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
