    From One Bunk Bed To A Global Movement To End Child Bedlessness

    Send a text Today's episode of On Air with Dr. Pete shares purpose and passion... It all started with a simple idea in 2012. What began as building a few bunk beds in his garage for local children has grown into a national — and international — movement. Joining us today is Luke Mickelson, the founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Luke is on a mission to make sure no child sleeps on the floor. Since those first few beds were built, Sleep in Heavenly Peace has grown into an incredible organization that has built and delivered more than 360,000 beds to children across 48 states and four countries.

    Two Ears, One Mouth, And Zero Cancel Culture

    Send a text If you’re interested in thoughtful, high-level conversations about psychology and communication, I highly recommend tuning in to this discussion with Dr. Pete and Dr. Chloe Carmichael. Dr. Chloe is a clinical psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author known for her warm yet direct approach to navigating high-stakes conversations. She brings practical tools, grounded research, and real-world insight to complex interpersonal dynamics—especially when emotions and stakes are high. She’s also a strong advocate for freedom of speech and independent thinking, encouraging people to engage thoughtfully rather than reactively. Whether you’re looking to improve difficult conversations, strengthen your confidence, or think more critically about challenging topics, this conversation offers meaningful takeaways. I encourage you to give it a listen—you’ll likely walk away with both practical strategies and fresh perspective.
