This episode of Disordered examines the fundamental "Golden Rules" of anxiety desensitization. Josh and Drew break down two core principles designed to guide long term desensitization for those struggling with panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, and health anxiety. They move away from promising cures or quick fixes, focusing instead on changing the listener's relationship with discomfort.Rule One: Do what non-anxious you would do while anxious. The guys explain that this involves engaging in life tasks regardless of the presence of fear.Rule Two: Don't make anxiety the most important thing in the room. While anxiety is allowed to be present, it should not sit at the top of the decision making tree. Desensitization happens when values and intentions are prioritized over the urge to monitor internal feelings.Acceptance vs. Control: Josh and Drew discuss the necessity of recognizing that attempts to control or escape anxiety are often ineffective. They advocate for psychological flexibility, where a person learns to be with difficult internal experiences rather than fighting them.The Power of Agency: The guys emphasize that even in highly sensitized states, individuals retain agency over their attention. They describe how to tolerate physical symptoms without letting those sensations govern behavior."Did It Anyway" Stories: The episode features community members who applied these rules during high stakes moments like public speaking or travel. These stories serve to encourage others to face fears that are uncomfortable but not dangerous.Josh and Drew frame desensitization as a journey requiring patience and persistence rather than a destination reached through "hacks" or secret solutions. This episode provides a practical framework for listeners ready to stop avoiding their feelings and start moving forward.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is now available.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Steve Jaffe, author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery. Steve has been laid off four times over the course of his career, and those experiences shaped a thoughtful, practical framework for navigating the emotional and professional aftermath of job loss. Andy and Steve explore why layoffs feel so personal even when we are told they are not, how identity often gets tangled up with job titles, and why the emotional response to a layoff closely mirrors the stages of grief. Steve explains why those stages are not linear, what denial, pain, and negotiation really look like in practice, and why trying to rush straight to acceptance can backfire. You will also hear practical advice for leaders who must conduct layoffs, as well as guidance for professionals who worry they might be laid off in the future. From preserving dignity in difficult conversations to preparing financially, emotionally, and professionally before uncertainty hits, this discussion offers insight for both sides of the table. If you are navigating uncertainty, supporting others through change, or simply want to be better prepared for whatever comes next, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "I wanted to give people a roadmap to process their layoff and the grief of their layoff in months rather than years." "One of the things that makes losing a job difficult is we tie our identity up in what we do." "And then in that period, before you've landed your next job, you're in this messy middle of Who am I?" "Define yourself not by what you do, but by who you are and what you bring to the table." "I've seen people be named Employee of the Year in January, and by June they're getting laid off." "Layoffs don't measure your worth. They measure a company's priorities." "The stages of grief are not linear. You can feel all of them in one day." "Your job title is not who you are." "Acceptance can become a way to skip discomfort instead of dealing with loss." "If you don't process the grief, it shows up later as baggage." "Dignity matters in the first minutes of a layoff conversation." "You want to build your network before you need it." "The person you were before a layoff will not be the same person after." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:45 Start of Interview 02:00 From First Layoff to Fourth: Taking It Personally 02:50 How the Layoff Process Has Changed Over Time 06:52 The Messy Middle Between Job Loss and What's Next 10:40 Why the Stages of Grief Apply to Layoffs 14:07 What Denial Looked Like in Steve's Experience 17:19 Balancing Emotional Honesty and Professional Reputation 22:08 The Quote That Opens the Book 23:00 Can You Jump to Acceptance Too Quickly? 24:58 When Past Layoffs Create Baggage at the Next Job 26:42 Advice for Leaders Who Have to Do Layoffs 28:55 Handling Performance-Based Separations with Integrity 30:40 How to Prepare Now If You Worry About Being Laid Off 32:46 End of Interview 33:33 Andy Comments After the Interview 37:37 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Steve and his work at TheSteveJaffe.com.

Episode TitleThe Attachment Style Quiz Your Therapist Would Give You (Part 2 of the Secure-Relationship Series)Episode DescriptionMost of what we do in relationships is on autopilot—shaped by how we were cared for (or not) as kids. In this episode, Sharla and Robert unpack the three main attachment styles (Secure, Anxious, and Avoidant), share eye-opening childhood reflection questions, real-life couple stories, and checklists to help you identify yourself. You'll finally understand why you chase, why they pull away, and how to stop using labels as weapons—so you can actually build the safety and closeness you both crave.Key TakeawaysYour attachment style isn't a flaw—it's an adaptation from childhood.Never weaponize labels (“You're so avoidant!”). Use them for compassion only.Secure relationships require: safety first, equal power, and the relationship that come first.The path to more security = Acceptance of who you both are + owning your impact.You can't force change in your partner. You create it through consistent safety.Quick Attachment Style Checklists (from the episode)Secure I enjoy closeness but am also comfortable alone. Disagreements don't shake me. I trust easily.Avoidant I recharge best alone. Closeness can feel smothering. I downplay emotions.Anxious I worry my partner will leave. I need frequent reassurance. Small things feel like big threats.Resources for Deeper LearningMust-Read BooksAttached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love by Amir Levine & Rachel Heller → The book that brought attachment theory into everyday relationships.

Zach sits down with Casey and Meygan Caston, founders of Marriage365, to talk about how a marriage that nearly collapsed in year three became the foundation for a global relationship resource. Both Casey and Meygan grew up surrounded by divorce, affairs, and unresolved conflict. Determined not to repeat their parents' patterns, they entered marriage with optimism—but no tools. By year three, resentment, blame, and emotional shutdown had taken over, and Meygan found herself convinced she had made the biggest mistake of her life. What changed everything wasn't mutual effort at first—it was personal responsibility. After starting therapy alone, Meygan learned boundaries, emotional regulation, and how to take ownership of her part of the dance. Thirteen months later, her changed posture toward conflict forced a shift in the relationship dynamic, and Casey began doing his own work. Together, they share how changing one partner changes the entire system; why marriage is not about solo dancing; and how resentment—not communication—is usually the real problem couples face. Zach weaves in his own frameworks around adulthood, repair, and the “dance” of relationship, while Casey and Meygan offer practical insight from years of coaching couples in crisis. The conversation also explores forgiveness, curiosity, intentional choice, cultural myths about love, and why healthy marriages are built through habits—not hope. Key Takeaways You're not stuck – Changing yourself changes the relationship system. Marriage is a team sport – Two people dancing separately isn't partnership. Resentment breaks communication – Most “communication problems” are really unresolved hurt. Repair requires ownership – A real apology validates pain and invites rebuilding trust. Acceptance matters – Forgiveness doesn't have to be instant, but honesty does. Curiosity beats defensiveness – Looking inward is the first step toward growth. Feelings fluctuate; choices endure – Love is sustained through intentional action. Differences aren't the enemy – Harmony comes from resolving dissonance, not eliminating it. Guest Info Casey & Meygan Caston Casey and Meygan are the founders of Marriage365, a relationship coaching platform dedicated to helping couples build intentional, resilient marriages. Drawing from their own near-divorce story and years of coaching experience, they offer practical tools, habits, and frameworks for repair, communication, and connection.

Welcome to a milestone episode of ADHD-ish! In episode 300, host Diann Wingert invites listeners into a raw, unfiltered conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship with ADHD.Rather than a feel-good celebration, this episode delivers the hard truths that other neurodivergent entrepreneurs need to hear—no sugar-coating, no apologies, just authentic wisdom earned through real-world experience.If you're ready for tangible insight (and a few uncomfortable truths), this is your episode.Here are the 3 Hard Truths Every Entrepreneur with ADHD Needs to Hear:Your self-doubt isn't wisdom—it's unaddressed trauma.That overthinking, need for certainty, and analysis paralysis? It's not you being “strategic”—it's the residue of years spent feeling “not enough.” The real challenge is rebuilding self-trust so you can act boldly, even if you're terrified of being wrong.There's no magic pill or “perfect” system.Stop believing the next planner, project management tool, or “ADHD-friendly” hack will make entrepreneurship comfortable. Success means tolerating discomfort, not shopping for something to eliminate it.ADHD is not your get-out-of-jail-free card.Acceptance isn't hiding behind your diagnosis—it's doing the tough, creative work to adapt and grow. “I have ADHD, so I need to figure out how to do this differently” is where real progress begins.Zero F*cks Given:To “fulfilling my potential” (an ever-moving target designed to keep you feeling not enough).To being “too niched” (connection and impact mean more than pleasing the masses).to ADHD diagnosis gatekeeping (if this content helps and you see yourself here, you belong).What I WON'T apologize for:Being unmasked and openly ADHD.Holding ADHD coaches to real standards.Being selective about coaching clients (it's about the right fit—not the right paycheck).The bottom line? Consistency doesn't come from trying to “fix” yourself—it comes from radical self-acceptance, messy action, and getting honest about what really stops you.If you've been waiting for the “right” moment, the perfect plan, or permission, the only way to get clarity is to take action.About the HostDiann Wingert brings decades of experience as a psychotherapist and now a sought-after coach to entrepreneurs with ADHD traits. Her style is direct, strategic, and always honest—peppered with the insight of someone who lives and breathes the neurodivergent experience.Known for her candor and her refusal to compromise on what matters, Diann Wingert is a fierce advocate for self-acceptance and meaningful growth at the intersection of neurodivergence and entrepreneurship.If this episode inspired or challenged you, Diann wants to hear about it!

In this episode, I talk about what it really looks like to grow through the hard things in business—especially when money, emotions, and uncomfortable circumstances are involved. Using a real coaching conversation as an example, I share a powerful framework for navigating pain without letting it turn into unnecessary suffering. If you're facing a situation you don't want, don't like, or wish were different, this episode will help you understand how acceptance—not resistance—is the key to growth, wisdom, and peace.  Key takeaways from this episode: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Pain combined with resistance creates suffering; pain combined with acceptance creates peace or wisdom. Resisting reality multiplies emotional stress. Arguing with what's happening adds friction and keeps you stuck. Acceptance doesn't mean approval. You don't have to like a situation to accept that it's happening. Clean pain leads to growth and wisdom. When you accept what is, pain becomes a teacher instead of a burden. Every challenge is shaping your capacity. Difficult moments build the emotional strength and wisdom required for higher levels of success. You can feel pain without letting it own you. Acceptance allows you to experience hard things without being consumed by them. This episode is an invitation to stop arguing with reality and start growing through whatever is in front of you.

Iron Radio: Returning to Competitive Powerlifting After 49In this episode of Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery (along with a possibly frozen Mike T.

When so much of the news seems devoted to transphobia, fear, and taking trans people's rights away, the baseline of how trans acceptance SHOULD be can feel absolutely radical. Let's talk about what that's like with what is, perhaps, the platonic ideal of trans inclusion: Roller Derby. Therapist and trash connoisseur Theo Embeck joins us to discuss starting small, and seeing yourself through the eyes of your community. I'm marker impervious!

Hello and welcome to The Shift - the podcast that aims to tell the no-holds barred truth about being a woman post-40. Created and hosted by me, journalist and author, Sam Baker. Have I got a treat for you today. Because my guest this week is Gretchen Rubin, one of the most influential writers on habits, happiness and human nature.  Gretchen is the author of the NYT bestsellers The Happiness Project and Better Than Before, she's sold millions of copies worldwide in more than 35 languages and every week hundreds of thousands tune into her award winning podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin for an injection of, well, a common sense guide to contentment.  The Happiness Project was a phenomenon. It spent two years on the American bestseller lists and spawned “happiness” groups all over the country.  It's fair to say her pursuit of happiness changed her life. Now she's distilled all that down into a handy guide packed with simple truths for our increasingly complex lives, called Secrets of Adulthood. You know how we're always saying, I wish I could bottle that. Well Gretchen has booked it! Given the whole hell in a handcart vibe of the past year I couldn't think of anyone better to give us a bit of a pep talk for 2026. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including The Secrets of Adulthood and The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if self-abandonment isn't a personal flaw—but a survival strategy you once needed, and no longer have to carry?In this episode, I'm joined by Rocio Aquino and Angel Orengo, co-authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses and founders of For the Highest Good, an initiative devoted to expanding human consciousness through storytelling, healing tools, and community.Based in Los Angeles, Rocio and Angel bring a rare blend of lived experience, emotional intelligence, and spiritual psychology to their work. Through media, public speaking, and live events, they guide women, especially those who have learned to over-give or disconnect from themselves, back to authenticity, inner authority, and alignment with their highest good.At the heart of our conversation is The Orchid, a transformational novel following seven women from different backgrounds who gather at a retreat in Northern California. Each woman embodies a distinct struggle with identity, self-trust, and emotional survival, offering readers (and listeners) mirrors for their own patterns of self-abandonment.Together, we explore how storytelling can be a powerful healing modality—one that moves beyond intellectual insight and into the body, where real change begins.The hidden cycle of self-abandonment and how women begin to recognize when they've learned to leave themselves to stay connected to othersForgiveness as a nervous-system process, not a bypass—why true forgiveness requires safety, presence, and self-honestyThe pathway from thought → emotion → body, and how unexamined beliefs become stored tension, disconnection, or collapseWhat it means to truly hold space—for yourself and for others—without fixing, rescuing, or self-betrayalThe five transformational lessons of The Orchid—Awareness, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Acceptance, and Intention—and how they can be practiced in everyday lifeThe challenges faced by the seven women in the story, and how each character reflects common patterns women carry around worth, voice, boundaries, and belongingWhy storytelling bypasses overthinking and creates emotional safety, allowing women to reconnect with inner truth and intuitionThis episode is an invitation for the woman who is capable, self-aware, and exhausted from holding it all together to soften, listen inward, and begin choosing herself without guilt.

Have you ever felt unloved or rejected? Joyce shares how to receive God's unconditional love, accept yourself in Christ, and find healing, peace, and rest for your soul.

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.This year's theme is Acceptance as a Path to Peace, and in this episode I return to a topic that quietly keeps so many of us stuck: blame.Blame can feel justified when life has been painful. When relationships are complicated. When we've felt hurt, abandoned, or misunderstood. But over time, blame keeps our attention focused outward, tying our sense of peace to other people's choices and behavior.In this episode, I share honestly from my own life, my marriage, my recovery journey, and what I've witnessed walking alongside hundreds of people on their healing path. For me, blame often showed up as “trying to help,” “pointing things out,” or wishing someone else would change and how spiritual practice helped me see what was really happening underneath.We explore how releasing blame doesn't mean minimizing your pain or pretending things didn't matter. It means becoming willing to be honest with yourself, to turn inward, and to stop giving your power away.When we choose responsibility ovRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

In this episode of the Manly Deeds Podcast, we explore the tension between being honest and navigating a politically correct world. There's a real desire to share our unfiltered, unadulterated truth, even when that truth isn't widely accepted or socially rewarded. The conversation expands into the reality that a “game” often exists — unspoken rules around language, tone, and behavior — and the pressure to play along in order to succeed. But the bigger question remains: Is playing the game the only path to success, or can authenticity still win? We also reflect on our first jobs as teenagers and how those early work experiences shaped our understanding of what we will tolerate for our careers. This episode unpacks truth, compromise, courage, and consequence, challenging listeners to consider what it really costs to be honest — and what it costs to stay silent.

Anna Parker-Naples and Jo Robinson-Howarth explore the profound journey of healing, particularly in the context of Jo's recent breast cancer diagnosis. They discuss the importance of listening to one's intuition, the balance between medical advice and personal choices, and the power of acceptance and love in the healing process. Jo shares her experiences with holistic approaches, the significance of gratitude, and the lessons learned from navigating life's challenges. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-care, the impact of sharing personal stories, and the need for individuals to respect their own healing paths.TakeawaysJo's journey through cancer highlights the importance of emotional healing alongside physical healing.Listening to intuition can lead to life-saving decisions.The discovery of a lump can be a pivotal moment in one's health journey.Navigating medical advice requires personal empowerment and choice.Honesty with loved ones about health challenges is crucial.Acceptance of life's challenges can lead to profound personal growth.Spiritual beliefs can provide comfort and understanding in difficult times.Practicing gratitude can shift perspectives during tough situations.Sharing personal stories can inspire and connect others.Self-care is essential for those who help others in their healing journeys.Follow Links:Get the Influential Breathwork Syllabus here:https://www.influentialbreathwork.com/syllabusFollow Anna Parker-Naples onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaparkernaplesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaparkernaplesFollow Jo Robinson-Howarth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-howarth/https://www.instagram.com/jo_happiness_howarth/

This week's episode builds on Monday's blog about talking to my nonverbal son even when I didn't know it mattered.I reflect on trust, not just the trust my son has in me, but the trust I've learned to have in him. When Lucas was little, I assumed most of what I said wasn't landing. He had significant delays, no words, and very little visible response. It would have been easy to stop talking.Instead, I kept going.I share how bedtime was the first concept Lucas ever truly understood and how something as simple as him running and hiding changed the way I viewed his comprehension entirely. Not because he followed instructions, but because he understood meaning.This episode isn't about drills, milestones, or breakthroughs. It's about repetition, familiarity, tone, and learning to trust that understanding can form quietly over time. It's about believing that a child is always trying — even when you can't see the results yet.It's Here!

Extraordinary living doesn't happen by accident. It happens by choice. Last weekend, in my blog, I created the acronym JAPHILAFF as a simple reminder to prioritize Joy, Acceptance, Peace, Health, Inclusion, Love, Abundance, Forgiveness, and Focus in our daily lives. These principles serve as guideposts for making intentional decisions that nourish our body, mind, and spirit. As I reflect on how I practice JAPHILAFF, I see how laughter, curiosity, and a lighthearted perspective help me stay grounded, consistent, and aligned with my values. This approach empowers us to live fully, embrace challenges with grace, and create a life that feels both meaningful and playful. I will share how we can all live a life rooted in JAPHILAFF!

Ambient documentation is becoming normal in clinics. But the most interesting “voice” capability may not be transcription at all.In the latest episode of Faces of Digital Health, Henry O'Connell (Canary Speech) explains why voice biomarkers stalled for decades: the field analyzed words, not the neurological signal behind speech production.Canary's approach focuses on the “primary data layer”—how the central nervous system drives respiration, vocal cord vibration, and articulation in real conversational speech. A few details that stood out: ⏱️ ~45 seconds of conversation can be enough for assessment

What are the DO vs MD acceptance rates, really—and how should a student interpret them? In this episode, our admissions expert walks through this common question as if they're the student, pausing to ask for clarification, challenge assumptions, and think out loud the way applicants actually do.

In this episode of the LaidOPEN Podcast, host Charna Cassell sits down with content creator Taylor Perkins, better known on social media as Cult Daddy, for a deep conversation about spirituality, embodiment, trauma, and reclaiming personal truth after high control religion. Taylor shares his journey growing up Mormon, achieving financial success, losing everything, and experiencing a profound spiritual awakening that reshaped how he understands consciousness, meaning, and self expression. Together they explore psychedelics as one possible tool for unlearning indoctrination while emphasizing the importance of safety, integration, and nervous system awareness. This episode dives into paradox, expansion versus ascension, parenting as a mirror for inner child healing, embodied boundaries, trauma responses, relationships as reflections, and how suffering can become a signal for realignment rather than something to escape. A grounded and compassionate conversation for anyone questioning inherited beliefs, navigating spiritual awakening, or seeking a more embodied and self directed path.

What if joy in marriage isn't about chasing happiness, but embracing courage? Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife's enlightening perspective reshapes our understanding of joy—not as mere happiness but as a deeper, more embodied openness to love and goodness, even amidst life's challenges. This kind of joy is interwoven with eros love—an expansive, soul-reaching connection that pushes us beyond our comfort zones and into a realm of growth and self-discovery. In my conversation with Dr. Finlayson-Fife, we explored how marriage becomes a fertile ground for joy—not by eliminating our differences but by choosing to love through them. By asking ourselves what we already know we need to do differently, we unlock the potential for profound personal growth and deeper marital intimacy, ultimately steering our relationships toward genuine joy.

I feel we are in an age of trust. A desire for trust, and a lot of distrust. Right now you are listening to this podcast. Outside of podcasts that are news or entertainment, I see people tuning in to listen to hosts that they look to for…trust. You would not be listening here and now if you did not have a level of trust in me. And I see this as good and bad. As of this recording I am headed to a podcast convention where they are inducting my Dad, Dan Miller, into the Podcast Hall of Fame. He's being inducted by Dave Ramsey and my family and I are receiving it and I'm giving the acceptance speech. I'm incredibly honored. But Dave Ramsey. He's a celebrity who got famous for his guidance on money. Today however he has massive trust from a huge audience who looks to him for guidance on about everything. And I see a cultural who is erroring on over-trust. And I feel it brings up the question of how much we trust ourselves. So in this episode I have Dr. Shadé Zahrai with me. Shadé is a behavioral researcher, peak performance educator, and leadership strategist for major global companies, with a PhD in organizational behavior. She is known for helping organizations and individuals build confidence and overcome self-doubt through practical strategies drawn from psychology and neuroscience. Shadé has a new book that compiles her findings, Big Trust: Rewire Self-Doubt, Find Your Confidence, And Fuel Success. She walks us through a proven framework of Acceptance, Agency, Autonomy, and Adaptability, and helps us reveal and reframe limiting beliefs, quiet imposter thoughts, and reclaim our inner strength. Whether you're second guessing a big decision, overthinking in high-stakes moments, or feeling stuck despite knowing you're capable of more, Shadé has developed practical steps that lead to powerful, lasting results. You can find Shadé at bigtrustbook.com and do a 12 question self-diagnostics on your level of trust and self-doubt.

This episode of The Green Insider featured an interview with Rod Baltzer, President and CEO of Deep Isolation, who discussed the company’s innovative approach to nuclear waste disposal using horizontal drilling techniques. Rod explained Deep Isolation’s solution for spent nuclear fuel disposal and their global consultancy work in nuclear decommissioning and waste management, highlighting projects in various countries and their collaboration with national radioactive waste management organizations Deep Isolation's Solution Proposes a less expensive, faster alternative using small, modular, and transportable disposal systems. Utilizes directional drilling to bury canisters with spent fuel up to 2 miles underground. Each borehole can be drilled in under 2 months, holds about 200 canisters, and 20 boreholes can accommodate 60 years of fuel from a large reactor. Global Consultancy Projects Deep Isolation consults internationally, including with the UK Decommissioning Authority, Estonia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Bulgaria. Recent work includes a U.S. grant to help Bulgaria align its regulations with International Atomic Energy Agency standards. Nuclear Waste Management Focus Consultancy covers regulatory gap analysis, geology, waste form safety, and economics. Collaborate's with national waste management organizations and advanced reactor companies like Kairos and Curio. Nuclear Energy's Role in Sustainability Nuclear energy is seen as essential for meeting future energy demands, especially for AI and data centers. Acceptance of nuclear energy depends on effective waste disposal solutions and public perception. European regulations penalize new nuclear projects without operational disposal facilities by 2050. Universal Canister System Deep Isolation's universal canister allows storage, transport, and disposal without repackaging, reducing costs and worker risk. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) SMRs offer market expansion potential due to their transportability and efficient construction. Deep Isolation can design disposal solutions for various SMR waste types, supporting both co-located and centralized repositories. The discussion concluded with insights on the future of nuclear energy, including its role in meeting growing energy demands and the importance of developing disposal solutions to increase its acceptance, with plans for a full-scale demonstration project in 2026.

Today's focus is on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Our expert guest will help us understand this therapy technique, its processes, and the overarching goal of this method. Join us to learn more! Dr. Carissa Gustafson, PMH-C, is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in perinatal psychology. She supports clients from preconception through parenting, with a particular focus on pregnancy and postpartum care. As the author of Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks, she utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients learn to relate to their thoughts and feelings with acceptance and compassion, while aligning their behavior with their values. Dr. Gustafson sees clients online throughout California and in person at Village Birth, a part of Heartship Psychological Services. In addition to seeing clients, she has been an adjunct professor and clinical faculty at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology.  Show Highlights: Dr. Gustafson's path to serving perinatal mental health clients through ACT Understanding ACT as a therapy technique The unpredictable nuances of the perinatal journey align perfectly with the core processes of ACT, especially for high-achieving women. The need to be present with our difficult emotions Learning to “surf the waves” of emotions and feelings Compassion is essential because of the shame and blame we put on ourselves. ACT core processes: mindfulness, acceptance/compassion, cognitive defusion, the observer self, values, and committed/valued action  “Bringing presence to our pain brings peace.” We don't want to make an enemy of our internal experiences. ACT offers a clear path to relief for PMADs if someone is willing to use the techniques. Psychological health can be improved with flexibility in our thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. Advocacy and agency are vital! Learn more about Dr. Gustafson's book, training courses, and workbook (get yours for free at Dr. Gustafson's website!)

In this episode of her solo series, Lisa examines addiction dynamics in food and eating, integrating neurobiology, trauma, and behavioral psychology with personal narrative. She distinguishes substance vs. behavior addictions and reframes the “food addiction” debate as a semantic distraction, emphasizing why behaviors become compulsive. The discussion links binge eating and self-harm through positive and negative reinforcement, underscores capitalist food industry influence, and advocates grief, radical acceptance, and surrender as foundations for change. A personal story traces undereating/overexercise, malnourishment, cognitive impairment, medical oversight, and eventual surrender from rigid weight control to health-centric practices, leading to weight stabilization and improved well-being.Topics Include:Addiction ModelFood and Eating BehaviorsGrief, Acceptance, and SurrenderDisordered Eating[1:08] Lisa begins by acknowledging her own perfectionistic impulse and the importance of taking "messy action" to overcome it, revisiting the topic of addiction from the previous episode to clarify her stance on food addiction. [4:03] Lisa argues that the debate over whether food addiction is real misses the point; the conversation should focus on understanding and effectively treating the issue, acknowledging that it is both similar to and different from other addictions. She presents the addiction model distinguishing between substance addictions (e.g., drugs) and behavioral addictions (e.g., gambling). She explains that the relationship with food is unique because it involves both a substance (food) and a behavior (eating).[6:12] Lisa discusses how on the substance side, hyper-palatable, high-fat, high-sugar foods trigger a strong reward reaction (dopamine, serotonin) in the brain. On the behavior side, eating-related behaviors like overeating, undereating, and binging can become addictive. Lisa introduces Dr. Gabor Maté's definition of addiction. It shows that any behavior can provide temporary relief/pleasure and craving, but causes long-term negative consequences, with an inability to stop. This model applies to both overeating and undereating. Lisa clarifies she is not saying "food is a drug," but that "some people can use food like a drug" for emotional coping.[34:14] Lisa discusses radical acceptance of one's current reality as the first step toward transformation, which involves grieving the relationship with food one wishes they had.[51:43] Lisa shares a personal story about her weight loss journey. After losing about 80 pounds around December 2012, she experienced severe physical symptoms like lightheadedness, hair loss, and cognitive impairment due to malnourishment, even though multiple doctors offered no clear answers. Lisa's personal research into the ACE study and the National Weight Control Registry revealed that both childhood trauma and the habits of successful dieters (low-calorie diet, daily exercise) were linked to her struggles.[1:00:20] Lisa's big surrender moment when she chose to stop dieting, facing an unknown outcome, rather than continue a cycle she knew would lead to more weight gain. She stopped weighing herself, shifted her focus from weight-centric to health-centric goals, prioritized food quality over quantity, and incorporated practices like meditation. Surrender, though frightening and uncomfortable, is a crucial step.[1:19:46] Lisa closes this episode by sharing what topics are to come and inviting listeners to email her with any questions at lisaschlosberg@gmail.com⁠. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Why does winter affect our mood—and why are teens especially vulnerable? Amy talks with Dr. Greg Hammer, author of the book A MINDFUL TEEN, about the science behind the winter blues, teen mental health, and how simple mindfulness practices can help families feel better. Dr. Hammer explains how reduced sunlight, disrupted sleep, less physical activity, and holiday stress all contribute to seasonal mood changes—and why teens, who are already sleep-deprived and under pressure, can struggle even more during the winter months. The conversation explores the difference between everyday winter blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and when parents should consider professional support. Amy and Dr. Hammer also discuss the definition of "mindfulness" and the GAIN method—Dr. Hammer's practical, accessible framework built around Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment. Dr. Hammer shares how mindfulness can be practiced in as little as three minutes a day, why self-judgment fuels stress and burnout, and how parents can model emotional regulation without lecturing their teens.

Change is the only constant, yet our first reaction to it is often fear. Whether it is a shift in the economy, a change in our health, or the rise of new technology like AI, the "unknown" triggers our defenses. In this episode, we explore the choice between Fear and Acceptance. We look at historical figures like Dorothy Vaughan (who embraced the first computers) and the Impressionist painters (who embraced the camera) to see how successful people don't fight the future—they evolve with it. Learn how to treat the changes in our world not as threats, but as a "gym" where we practice expanding our hearts, quieting our egos, and moving from anxiety to curiosity.
