With a unique background spanning clinical social work, family law, and mediation, Bill has spent decades studying high-conflict behavior and helping people navigate some of the most difficult interpersonal dynamics.We break down what actually defines a high-conflict personality, where these behavior patterns come from, and how they often overlap with personality disorders. Bill walks through practical tools like EAR statements and BIF responses, which are designed to de-escalate conflict in real time.

From Atheism to Belief | A Physicist’s Journey into Faith
In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Michael Guillen to explore a journey that bridges two worlds most people think are at odds, science and spirituality.Michael shares his path from atheism to belief, and what it took for someone trained at the highest levels of physics to completely rethink his perspective on reality. We get into how his scientific background shaped, not weakened, his sense of curiosity about deeper questions, including the nature of the universe, consciousness, and meaning.We also dive into his latest project, the documentary Invisible Everywhere, and the role AI is beginning to play in filmmaking. Michael breaks down how emerging technology is changing the creative process and what that could mean for the future of storytelling.Watch Michaels movie here: https://michaelguillen.com/Check Out the New YouTube Channel Here1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...The Absolute BEST LightbulbsSweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenThe Apollo Use Discount Code: MINDFULSleep Well on these Grounding Mats from Ultimate LongevityOur Sponsors:* Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Kids Without Beds: The Problem You've Never Heard Of
In this episode, I sit down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about a problem most people don’t even realize exists, child bedlessness. What started as a simple act of service in his community turned into a nationwide movement focused on making sure no kid has to sleep on the floor.We get into the real impact of not having a bed, physically and emotionally, and how something so basic can affect a child’s development, behavior, and sense of dignity. Luke breaks down how he built and scaled a nonprofit from the ground up, the role community plays in solving real problems, and why awareness at the local level is often the missing piece when it comes to meaningful change.Please help if you can https://shpbeds.orgJoin Sara and Les in Boone, NC in April 2026 The Deep Unwind RetreatCheck Out the New YouTube Channel Here1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenThe Apollo Use Discount Code: MINDFULSleep Well on these Grounding Mats from Ultimate LongevityOur Sponsors:* Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
