Oprah Explores the Rising Trend of Going No Contact with Your Family

Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@Oprah?sub_confirmation=1 In a groundbreaking conversation about one of the fastest-growing cultural shifts of our time: Oprah talks with leading experts and a live audience about the decision to go ?no contact? with a family member. It?s estimated one third of Americans have cut off ties or is estranged from their family. Once considered taboo, family estrangement is now being openly discussed by people of all ages who are redefining what healthy boundaries look like in family relationships. In this revealing episode, Oprah and best-selling psychologists unpack this rising trend of people distancing themselves from parents, siblings, or relatives they consider toxic. Adult children and parents who have chosen to go "no contact? share their stories and their reasons behind this difficult decision. Oprah and the audience explore the emotional, cultural and psychological issues behind the movement - ranging from trauma and generational patterns to mental-health awareness and the expanded definition of abuse.

Oprah & Music Star Mike Posner on His 3000 Mile Walk to Happiness

A musical performance and in-depth conversation with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, speaker and adventurer Mike Posner who brought his guitar to perform for Oprah and our listeners. When Mike Posner?s hit songs ?Cooler Than Me? and ?I Took a Pill in Ibiza? shot him to stardom at a young age, he quickly learned fame and fortune did not provide the contentment and joy he says his late father always wanted for his son?s life. In 2019, Mike literally walked away from Hollywood to set out to find happiness by trekking across the entire United States of America on foot beginning on the New Jersey coast and ending in the ocean at Venice Beach, California. Mike?s ?Walk Across America? took him six months, he crossed 13 states, traveled 2,851 miles and took 5.7 million steps. Mike talks to Oprah about the five lessons to finding happiness he learned during his walk that are relatable to us all (even the moment a poisonous rattlesnake bit his leg, threatening his life and delaying his cross-country adventure.) Mike tells Oprah not everyone has to walk thousands of miles to find happiness, but he hopes the lessons he learned can help you find your own sense of belonging and joy. https://www.mikeposner.com hellofresh.com/oprahpodcast10fm Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@Oprah?sub_confirmation=1 Follow Oprah Winfrey on Social: https://www.instagram.com/oprahpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/oprah/ https://www.facebook.com/oprahwinfrey/ Listen to the full podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0tEVrfNp92a7lbjDe6GMLI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oprah-podcast/id1782960381 Learn more about your ad choices.

Oprah on The Hoffman Process, How to Forgive Your Parents ? And Yourself

For over 50 years, The Hoffman Process has helped over 100,000 people transform their lives, helping participants identify negative behaviors, moods, and ways of thinking that developed unconsciously and were conditioned in childhood. Charles ?Raz? Ingrasci, co-founder, executive, consultant, and facilitator within the ?Human Potential Movement? joins The Oprah Podcast to speak about the popular Hoffman Institute and how their personal growth retreat helps those searching for transformation, spiritual growth, and leadership skills. Actor Orlando Bloom joins the conversation to share his experience with the Hoffman Institute and how it transformed his own life and his parenting style. Raz offers insight into the Hoffman Process by explaining the two core principles; the first being the quadrinity, which is based on four dimensions of self that occur interactively at once, physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. The second principle Raz explains is how our survival mechanism is dependent on the parent-child bond, and how that impulse for unconditional love follows us from childhood into adulthood. https://www.hoffmaninstitute.org Follow Oprah Winfrey on Social: https://www.instagram.com/oprahpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/oprah/ https://www.facebook.com/oprahwinfrey/ Listen to the full podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0tEVrfNp92a7lbjDe6GMLI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oprah-podcast/id1782960381 Learn more about your ad choices.
