MY NEW NORM Podcast — S6 E9

Guest: Bill Parker- Experience Matters Counseling
Episode: Navigating Narcissism

Host: Barry Scott Young

What happens when love turns into control?
When every conversation becomes manipulation…
every disagreement becomes your fault…
and you slowly lose yourself trying to keep the peace?

In this episode of the MY NEW NORM Podcast, host Barry Scott Young sits down with mental health counselor Bill Parker for one of the most important conversations of the season.

Together, they unpack the reality of narcissistic behavior, emotional control, toxic relationship patterns, and the silent damage many people carry behind closed doors.

This episode is not about internet labels or trendy buzzwords.
It’s about real people… real emotional wounds… and recognizing unhealthy patterns before they destroy your peace, identity, and relationships.

In this bold and honest conversation, we discuss:
* Signs of narcissistic behavior
* Emotional manipulation and control
* Why people stay in toxic relationships
* Gaslighting and emotional confusion
* The impact on marriages, families, and mental health
* How to begin healing and rebuilding healthy boundaries

Some people don’t realize they are slowly disappearing inside a relationship…
until it’s almost too late.

This episode could help someone finally understand what they’ve been living through.

MY NEW NORM Podcast – S6 E8
Guest: James Igani- Author / Wellness Coach
Episode: Why Our Food is Making Us Sick
Host: Barry Scott Young

Show Notes
Episode Overview
What if the very food you trust… is quietly working against you?
In this eye-opening episode, Barry sits down with wellness coach and author James Igani to uncover the uncomfortable truth about today’s food system—and why so many Americans are sicker than ever before.
This isn’t about dieting.
This isn’t about trends.
This is about truth, awareness, and taking back control of your health.

We Discuss:
* How modern food has been engineered, not grown
* The hidden ingredients quietly impacting your body
* The connection between food, chronic illness, and long-term health
* Why convenience may be costing you your wellness
* How the food industry influences what ends up on your plate
* Simple, practical steps to begin reclaiming your health today

Power Quote from the Episode
“You don’t lose weight to improve your health…
you improve your health to lose weight.”
— James Igani

The Reality Check
We are living in a time where food is no longer just nourishment—it’s a business.
And too often, profit is prioritized over people.
This episode challenges you to think differently about what you eat… and why it matters.

Key Takeaway
If you don’t take control of your health, something else will.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E7
Guest: Lynne Rienstra- Author / Communicator
Episode: Going In and Coming Out of Hiding

Welcome to the MY NEW NORM Podcast, where we talk with real people facing real change and discovering what life looks like on the other side.

I’m your host, Barry Scott Young, and today we’re joined by author and speaker Lynne Rienstra, whose book Sacred Refuge explores what it means to find safety, healing, and the presence of God even in life’s most difficult seasons.

About Guest:
Lynne Rienstra, is a recovering Pharisee and spiritual orphan. Through her mentoring, speaking, and writing, she invites women to exchange the lies they've believed for the truth God speaks over them in Scripture. The result? Freedom like they've never experienced before.

Sometimes life changes in ways we never expected.
Pain shows up.
Loss hits hard.
Trauma leaves questions that don’t have easy answers.

And in those moments, many people quietly ask a question they never thought they would ask…
Where is God in the middle of all this?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed…
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets heavy…
This conversation is for you.
