Today we are announcing some show changes for a bit.  Eian is stepping away due to some work obligations for a while.  The New Day Podcast will continue but with some changes to the format.

Believe it or not, shame and guilt- while they are similar there are distinct differences. This week we share ways that we have experienced guilt and what you can do to pivot into being more productive.

We often have two or more thoughts that occupy our minds, and then we experience conflict.  That conflict causes mental and emotional discomfort. This week we dive into the topic of what happens in our minds when that happens - we get cognitive dissonance.

Learning to control our response to others is not as easy as it sounds. Learning how to monitor our emotions, how we respond, and learn to work with others is a valuable skill. This week we are talking about Dan Goleman's research into understanding ourselves and our emotions better.

We talk with Jarom Thurston - who was our first international listener from down in Brazil. He shares how he started into marathon running and then moved into ULTRA marathon races. We discuss how he started from an "I'll try it "and pivoted into a whole lifestyle.  If you get a chance also be sure to check out his episodes with Coach Blu on our sister show - Addict to Athlete here on the Radio Ronin network.

We are talking about our need to take a chance and be more vulnerable with those around us. No matter if it's someone you are close to, at work, or with your friends, vulnerability is what helps to create better connections. We revisit thoughts from seeing Brene Brown's incredible TED Talk on vulnerability.  If you haven't watched it, see the link below. We would like to know how do you feel about vulnerability?  Do you practice it or are there ways that you want to but aren't sure how.    Follow and comment on Facebook or Instagram.   Brene Brown:  The Power of Vulnerability

From the moment we are born we are curious. This week we talk about why you should foster your curiosity and let it take you into places that are unfamiliar.

Now that Eian is done with his degree - he is taking on a couple of new goals. One was inspired by one of our listeners.  That is to become a life coach. While we have been doing research for our shows over the last year this term has come up many times. We introduce you to the concept of thought work and how it is going to be a major theme that opens up new topics for us to talk about.

Josh from Radio Ronin stops by and wants to dig deeper into Toxic Positivity. Eian shares a new author he found - Dr. Susan David and some of the insights from her TED Talks and book "Emotional Agility". We also come up with a new term - Corporate Toxic Positivity. All of us have been there - you are expected to drink the Corporate Kool-aide especially when you are not feeling it.

We are talking about when you "hit the zone" or are experiencing a runner's high, which is known as being in the Flow State. There are many names for this, and it's when you know you are just firing on all cylinders. What are ways that we help get there? What is the process for achieving it? How do you hit Flow State, and as equally important, how do you recover after this burst?    

We know that Eian has a passion for communication, one piece of communication that doesn't get taught to us is listening. We are usually more focused on responding or reacting to what we hear. We share things that will help you be a better listener with others.

Eian and Angela share their experiences with grief.  From death to the ends of relationships or jobs, a sense of loss turns us to dark places.  Knowing you aren't alone and that you aren't broken if you don't follow the “5 step grief process” helps a lot.

Suffering is part of the human condition. What we choose to do with that suffering is totally up to us. We discuss how choosing to decide that events in our life are just that events. Allows you to move past the pain.

We can look into others' lives through the internet, and all of us have felt a desire to want what others have.  But what happens when you go beyond that?  You want to see someone lose it – that is envy. Today we are talking about alternatives to feeling envy towards others.

One of the most challenging things we can do for ourselves is actually to love ourselves. When we priorities our happiness and put ourselves first, we can be accused of being selfish. This week Eian shares his three pillars of self-love and the ways that he focuses on loving himself.

We have all be there where things didn't work out the way we thought they would – for a job, a relationship, or anything else.  Yes, it is a failure – failures aren't necessarily the bad thing that we think they are. Failure is how we grow. Letting go of the failure and moving on is the final step of growth.

Welcome to our FIRST Friday Episode! We have Chandler Smith from Radio Ronin stops by to talk about perceptions. We all have ways that we look at things. Chandler edited an award-winning Documentary on Perceptions and is sharing what he learned from some of the top experts in Perceptions.

With as busy as we are these days, stress is part of life. It comes in many forms. We talk about ways that we deal with what is stressing us out today.

We are talking about what we do for Self Care. In a busy world that has been full of abnormal stressors, we have to take better care of ourselves. Let us know if you do something to take care of yourself that we didn't mention.

What do you do consider to be “important” to you? What is important should be your guide for everything that you do in life. Quite often these days we see things that are urgent but not really all the important. When you come up against decisions in life having a clear picture of what is important makes it easier to navigate life.

When faced with difficult situations, we all “dig deep” and muster a force inside of us to push through. This week we talk about the research by Angela Duckworth for her book “Grit.” No matter what you call it, you have had to use it to make it through tough times.

Today we are more distracted than ever with every device and a life that is set up to let you "know" when something is happening. This is detrimental to getting what you want and need to be done. We talk about ways to set yourself up to not fall pray to the hey, pay attention to me world we live in.

You have worked hard to dig deep. You have figured out where you want to go and made the changes in your life. Now it's time to make sure that those changes stick. This week's book recommendations: James Clear - Atomic Habits David Allen - Get Things Done Dr. BJ Fogg - Tiny Habits  

This week Jimmy Chunga from Radio Ronin talks about how he battles with SAD. Seasonal affective disorder is a condition that he was diagnosed with while on the air as a DJ in Salt Lake. He and Ang talk about ways they have overcome what some call “the winter blues.”   You can find Chunga on RadioRonin.com and playing dance music on Bash Music each Saturday through Spreaker.com.

This week we are talking about moving out of one of the most destructive modes that we can get in, self-pity. Feeling down or sorry for yourself will happen, but there are ways to make sure you don't stay there.  We have all been there multiple times, and life can get you down. You mustn't stay there.

Today more than ever, everyone and everything try to steal our time. It is important to understand how to say no. A simple but powerful work that often has a very negative connotation to it. We share reasons why we should all be embracing the word NO. Be sure that you let us know how you say NO or a recent time you have said to others.

There is a line between being an optimist and putting out toxic positivity. We talk about how you need to be accepting of how someone truly feels about what they are experiencing. It is ok to not be happy all the time and keep repeating that it's going to be fine. We talk about how the “Good Vibes” only philosophy can be destructive towards others.

Welcome to our final episode of 2020! To wrap up what a listener called “Deep Dive December,” we are talking about the process of reinventing yourself. We share ideas on how to tackle this with a method to help you stay the course.

We discuss the five types of Imposter Syndrome this week and which ones we identify with. In this “fake it until you make it” world, it becomes difficult to tell what is real and what isn't on social media. It's essential to understand its effects on our self-perceptions. If you would like to read the book that Eian mentions this week check out the link below: https://amzn.to/33TlXII 

Each of us has a way that we perceive ourselves. As we wrap up the year and start to think about how we want to set goals and make changes for next year, we have done what Eian likes to call "deep work" and examine ourselves. What do we think about ourselves? This is a more formidable challenge than you make think.

Our friend Gregg from Gregg's Guide to New Music here on the Radio Ronin Network stops by. We talk about what started him into music, his newest musical purchase and ghost hunting.

This week, Eian and Angela discuss ways to deal with situations that seem almost impossible to face. With 2020 throwing so many challenges at people and new things popping up every day that make us feel like we are completely of control, they share how they have been navigating through the plot twists that have come their way. Be sure you join the conversation and share how you have bounced back from situations like this on Facebook or Instagram.

Eian and Angela are talking about the signs of burnout.  Most of us are not just feeling everyday stress anymore, and we are hitting a major wall. It's not a sign of weakness to admit it.

There will be a time in your life when it just becomes overwhelming, and we need to cut back on everything. This week we discuss strategies on how to cut back and enter survival mode. That way, you can get things back to where they are manageable and re-engage with life when you're ready.

In our lives, we will talk with others and need either offer or receive feedback.  Feedback is a process, and we need to be active in that process.

The term "Toxic People" is thrown around a lot. We examine what does it mean and how should we deal with them this week.  It starts with focusing your mindset and setting boundaries.

In life, we all have conversations that come up that we struggle to have but we have to have them. They might be with a significant other, a co-worker, or a child. This week we discuss why you should have them and strategies to handle them better.

This week we take a dive into how important it is to when you are deciding who you spend the majority of your time with. Eian shares his top criteria when he evaluates who is in his inner circle.

Everyone is struggling right now, and it's time to recognize that we all have challenges and that we need to think of others.  Being compassionate and considerate is what is necessary to make the world a better place.
