Our relationships often carry the imprints of our childhood, especially when it comes to the complex and generally unspoken father wound. In this first episode of a four-part series, I dive deep into how early experiences with our father figures — whether through absence, emotional distance, or even subtle disconnection — shape our adult relationships in powerful ways. We explore how these wounds manifest in patterns like seeking unavailable partners, feeling inadequate, or grappling with the fear of never being enough. By understanding these dynamics and the relational cycles they create, we can begin to shift from a place of pain toward healing and deeper connection.

Critical thinking is an essential skill in today's divided world and in this conversation with educator and podcaster, Will Reusch, we explore why it's more important than ever. Will shares insights from his years of teaching – discussing the challenges of encouraging students to think critically about complex topics instead of passively accepting dominant narratives. We dive into controversial subjects like left-right dynamics, Trans rights, and the role of social media in shaping perspectives – highlighting how echo chambers and ideological capture fracture communities. Will's mission to create safe spaces for open dialogue and his upcoming initiative, Patterdox, are central to fostering curiosity and empathy in our increasingly polarized society.
William Reusch has taught high school social studies in Los Angeles for nearly two decades in several schools that served very diverse populations. He is a University of Austin Mill Institute Teacher Fellow, has worked with organizations like Heterodox Academy, FAIR (Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism), Civic Spirit, and others in his pursuit to bring critical thinking to the world of K-12 & high school education. He is the host of the Cylinder Radio podcast and has expanded his educational reach to utilize social media as a way to promote viewpoint diversity and intellectual inquiry.

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of the often-hidden, manipulative aspects of goodness and niceness within relationships. While these traits are typically seen as virtuous, they can sometimes stem from low self-worth and a deep need for validation, ultimately breeding mistrust. We explore the dynamics of people-pleasing, its connection to resentment, and the critical importance of setting healthy boundaries to disrupt patterns that impede personal growth and authentic connection. Additionally, we examine codependency and how it distorts our understanding of love and support. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on recognizing your own relational patterns, the societal impact of perceived goodness, and ways to cultivate healthier, more genuine relationships rooted in mutual respect.

In this moving episode, I welcome hospital chaplain, author, and online educator, J.S. Park. J.S. takes us on a poignant journey through the intricate layers of grief and the profound realm of emotions that accompany loss. Drawing from his experiences in a trauma center, J.S. Park shares the non-linear nature of grief, stressing the importance of embracing pain and validating all emotions that surface. Together, we explore societal norms surrounding grief, empathetic responses, and the delicate balance between fixing and sitting with discomfort. Listen in to reflect on the subject of mortality and discover a deeper understanding of grief as a natural response to loss and the compassion found in grief’s turmoil.
For eight years J.S. has been an interfaith chaplain at a thousand-plus-bed hospital that is designated a Level 1 Trauma Center. His role includes grief counseling, attending every death, every trauma and Code Blue, staff care, and supporting end-of-life care. He also served for three years as a chaplain at one of the largest nonprofit charities for the homeless on the east coast. J.S. has a MDiv completed in 2010 and a BA in Psychology. He also has a sixth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. J.S. currently lives in Tampa, Florida with his wife, a nurse practitioner, and his three-year-old daughter, newborn son, and their adopted dog.

In this episode, I explore the importance of aligning with our authentic expression – particularly our true yes and no. We dive into the topic of addiction and the pursuit of altering our state to escape the present moment – whether through indulgence or social media scrolling. We discuss how recognizing our emotional and physical cues helps us set boundaries, make decisions aligned with our true selves, and foster authentic relationships. We also examine the power of differentiating between trauma and reality, acknowledging triggers, and assessing genuine reactions. I highlight the role of self-inquiry and curiosity in self-discovery, as well as the roles of self-compassion and self-expression in confronting discomfort and steering away from addictive behaviors towards personal growth. Tune in for a powerful conversation on the significance of congruence and relating from a place of inner alignment.
