In this episode, Kelly Wilson explains how to move from avoidance to acceptance: a new way to live with anxiety. He delves into how our vulnerabilities show us what matters to us, and that the goal isn't to win a war inside. It's to keep coming back to the next honest action that moves you towards what matters. That is at the core of acceptance and commitment therapy. Not chasing perfect feelings, but choosing the next right move towards your values, again and again.Exciting News!!!

Sometimes, advocating for your own health can save your life. In this inspiring conversation of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my good friend Cameron Mathison, Emmy-nominated actor, television host, and wellness advocate to talk about the journey that transformed not just his body, but his entire life. You may know Cameron from General Hospital, All My Children, or as a beloved host on Entertainment Tonight and Hallmark's Home & Family, but behind the spotlight was a decade-long struggle with unexplained health issues that eventually led to a shocking diagnosis: kidney cancer. Cameron shares how this wake-up call became a powerful turning point, guiding him away from surface-level “health” and toward a deeper, more holistic approach rooted in functional medicine, mindfulness, and self-awareness. Today, Cameron feels and looks stronger and more vibrant than ever and he's helping others do the same through Health360, a functional health coaching platform that empowers people to reset their bodies, optimize their energy, and truly thrive. We explore what it really means to take ownership of your health, why prevention is the most powerful medicine, and how practices like meditation and emotional awareness can be just as healing as food or fitness. Cameron's story is a reminder that true healing begins when you start listening to your body and that it's never too late to choose a new path. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)This week, I invited my friend and returning guest Carrie M. Holt back to talk about something that every special needs mom wrestles with, the difference between fixing and accepting our children.We unpacked what those energies feel like, how they show up in motherhood, and how they connect to deeper themes of fear, control, grief, and peace. We also talked about how acceptance doesn't mean giving up. It means seeing our children (and ourselves) as whole, right where we are.Carrie shares from her own experience raising her son with complex medical needs and reflects on how her perspective has shifted from striving to affirming, from control to trust.This conversation will meet you wherever you are in your own evolution as a special needs mom.

Let's talk about body image and how to stop comparing yourself to other in this interview with author Deb Schachter. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Rethinking Body Image from a Somatic Perspective with Deb Schachter Most of us try to fix body image by changing how we look — dieting, working out harder, or comparing ourselves to others. But what if real healing starts on the inside? In this conversation with somatic therapist Deb Schachter, we explore a radically different approach to body image — one that begins with listening to the body, rather than judging it. Deb explains how our relationship with our body is shaped by early experiences, trauma, and disconnection, and how we can begin to repair that relationship through awareness, compassion, and presence.

Have you ever found yourself holding on to hurt, disappointment, or resentment from something (or someone) in your past? Maybe you’ve been wounded by others’ words or actions, or perhaps you’re simply tired of feeling weighed down by offense.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Eila Wolf, who specializes in functional neurology and Chinese medicine. We dig into how these fields come together to help people dealing with concussions, migraines, and chronic pain — and why traditional approaches often fall short.Dr. Wolf walks us through the science behind her methods, including how acupuncture, vestibular work, and eye movement assessments can reveal what's really going on in the brain after an injury. We also talk about her new book, The Concussion Breakthrough, and how it's helping patients who've been struggling with long-term symptoms finally find a path forward.If you want a deeper understanding of how the brain heals — and how functional neurology can help you or someone you know recover faster and more completely — you'll get a ton out of this conversation.Sponsors:Beyond Power Voltra 1: https://www.beyond-power.com/michael13Tecton Ketone Esters: https://tectonketones.comAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:46 Exploring Functional Neurology01:23 Concussions and Eye Movements02:09 Dr. Wolf's Book and Newsletter02:42 Starting the Conversation02:49 Dr. Wolf's Lecture at Northwestern03:40 Better PowerPoint Presentation Tips04:29 Challenges of Creating New Talks05:57 AI in Research and Presentation07:22 Cadaver Lab Experience in Toronto09:07 Acupuncture and Anatomical Research09:54 History and Acceptance of Chinese Medicine11:47 Skepticism and Evidence in Acupuncture13:41 Research Design Challenges17:18 Innovative Acupuncture Studies21:34 Psychedelics and Research23:15 Dr. Wolf's Journey into Acupuncture27:08 Favorite Herbs and Their Benefits29:16 Introduction to Functional Neurology33:18 Case Studies and Clinical Insights35:59 Sensory Tricks for Migraines38:13 Mechanisms Behind Sensory Tricks39:32 Light Sensitivity and the Midbrain40:45 Personal Experience with a Health App41:31 Understanding Light Sensitivity42:59 Case Study: Pupil Response and Eye Pain44:09 Eye Movements & Concussion Diagnosis47:06 Gaze Stability and Neurological Insights52:19 The Concussion Breakthrough Book55:45 Complex Cases in Functional Neurology01:04:27 Visual + Vestibular Integration01:14:55 Final Thoughts and Resources Flex Diet Podcasts You May Enjoy: Episode 132: The Effects of Creatine Supplements on Brain Function, Concussion, and Sports Performance with Dr Eric RawsonYouTube: https://youtu.be/g7f8yHNlawU Episode 311: Maximizing Athletic Performance with Neurology: Insights from Dr. Dylan SeeleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnuYQ-GJ6toConnect with Dr Wolf:The Concussion Breakthrough: https://www.amazon.com/Concussion-Breakthrough-Discover-Missing-Recovery/dp/B0FDBLVDVHWebsite: https://www.acupunctureneurology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ayla_wolf354Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

Andrew Leland joins us for a deeply engaging chat about his life and his memoir, The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight. This isn't just any old memoir; it's a journey through the intricate layers of navigating life as someone experiencing blindness. Picture this: Andrew, a writer and audio producer, begins to lose his sight but instead of retreating into darkness, he dives headfirst into the vibrant world that opens up when you start to see beyond vision. We explore his personal milestones—like the moment he picked up a white cane and the whirlwind of social dynamics that followed. Suddenly, he wasn't just Andrew; he was 'the blind guy', and that title brought with it a flurry of assumptions, expectations, and a hefty dose of pity. But Andrew is not one to let societal labels define him. He shares how blindness is often a conversation starter for deeper philosophical questions about perception, ability, and what it means to 'see'. As our discussion unfolds, Andrew shares insights about the misconceptions surrounding blindness, the tech that empowers blind individuals today, and how acceptance can be a liberating force. Get ready for a thought-provoking episode that challenges the way we perceive disability, featuring Andrew's witty commentary and sharp reflections on the human experience..[00:00] Introduction and Welcome[00:45] Meet Andrew Leland: Author and Advocate[01:37] Living with Retinitis Pigmentosa[05:33] Social Perceptions and Stigma[11:31] Technology and Accessibility[17:02] Defining Blindness and Acceptance[25:37] Andrew's Journey and Future Plans[27:47] Conclusion and FarewellTakeaways: Andrew Leland shares his journey with retinitis pigmentosa, exploring how it affects his vision and life.

In this episode, Lori breaks down what it really means to rehabilitate your ego—not destroy it. Most people live entirely from their Id, the impulsive part of the mind that seeks comfort, validation, and control at any cost. But when you learn to balance the Id, Ego, and Superego, you stop reacting from fear and start responding from awareness. You'll discover: *The difference between a healthy ego and an inflated one. *How the Id drives impulsive behavior, emotional reactivity, and control issues.  *Why “ego death” isn't the goal—ego integration is. *How to retrain the ego to support your higher self instead of sabotaging it. *Real practices from ACT Therapy and cognitive defusion to detach from ego-driven stories. *How to recognize when your Id is running your relationships, habits, and inner dialogue. If you've ever felt stuck between wanting peace and needing control, this episode will help you step into clarity and rebuild a healthy inner authority. Your ego isn't the enemy—it's your untrained protector. Teach it peace, not power. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com

www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! Dave opens the episode feeling sick, dreading his upcoming dental implants, and joking about painkillers, nitrous, and Tylenol PM. He congratulates longtime dopes Margaret Hernandez (36 years sober) and Mattie Veach (recovering from cancer surgery), prays for the Knicks, and introduces guest RJ Elizarraz, co-host of Against All Odds with Rachel Slocum and founder of Oak Forest Recovery.Before diving in, Dave reads Spotify comments from the Brace Belden episode — about therapy, high memories, Suboxone, and more — gives shoutouts to listeners, and pushes the legendary Dopey socks. He jokes about how each platform reacts differently: Patreon loves him, Reddit hates him, Facebook doesn't care.He plays an old Miles Davis clip about Charlie Parker doing drugs and sex in a taxi while eating fried chicken, and finds the recovery moral in it — acceptance is the key. A listener named Nathan from San Francisco sends a disgusting classic: at 12 he cooked and ate his own poop hoping it would make DMT. It didn't. He puked, got bullied, overdosed, and finally got sober. Dave laughs, calls it top-notch Dopey storytelling, and awards him socks. Then comes the main interview with RJ Elizares. They record in RJ's Westlake Village home — complete with an infrared sauna, cold plunge, and jade crystal massage bed. RJ also runs a marketing agency for medical clients and has a 13-year-old daughter.RJ tells his story:Grew up in Westlake, straight-edge nerd playing video games and paintball.Swore he'd never do drugs, then caved at 15 after a best-friend betrayal.Smoked weed with his stepbrother, laughed hysterically at Maury Povich, devoured frozen peas, and instantly became “the stoner.”Started selling weed and stealing paintball gear; pulled off a heist from an optometrist's back-room store until his stepbrother turned him in for the reward.Skipped school, bribed attendance clerks with weed, got caught high at a parent meeting, expelled.At continuation school, excelled while high, manipulated teachers, and got expelled again for lying.Ran away on a dirt bike, sold weed full-time, then transferred to another continuation school where a rival stabbed him in the arm with a pencil for “selling on his turf.”Graduated early by testing out, kept selling, moved out, and lived off weed money.With his girlfriend (later the mother of his daughter) did ecstasy, coke, Xanax, mushrooms, pills — everything but heroin.She overdosed on ecstasy and stopped breathing before being revived — a turning point moment. 

Childhood trauma can turn into CPTSD which has pervasive symptoms throughout your life, but you can learn to heal from childhood trauma. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Emotional Flashbacks video: https://youtu.be/oVLHysMGi8o?si=oJZy76o957LNranw Relationships after Childhood Trauma: Coming soon Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker is a compassionate, practical guide for understanding and healing childhood trauma, CPTSD, and complex trauma. Walker explains how chronic abuse or neglect in childhood wires the nervous system for danger, leading to symptoms like emotional flashbacks, toxic shame, harsh inner critic attacks, and difficulty with boundaries. He introduces the 4F survival responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—showing how they develop as protective adaptations to childhood trauma but can block healthy adult relationships. Healing, he says, begins with recognizing emotional flashbacks, shrinking the inner critic, and practicing self-compassion through “reparenting” the inner child. Walker emphasizes building healthy boundaries, grieving childhood losses, and replacing self-abandonment with self-protection. His approach blends psychoeducation, practical tools, and validation, empowering survivors to reclaim self-worth, safety, and connection. Ultimately, the book offers a hopeful roadmap for healing complex trauma—moving from a life shaped by survival to one grounded in presence, love, and resilience.

In this conversation, Justina explores the complexities of desire, acceptance, and the emotional journey of navigating what we want versus what we have. She emphasizes the importance of slowing down, grieving unmet desires, and recognizing the power in acceptance. Through understanding the stages of grief and the difference between grief and rumination, Justina encourages listeners to focus on what they can control and to embrace their unique journeys.TakeawaysThe answer to our desires often lies in understanding our resistance.Bypassing discomfort can lead to cognitive distortions.Success is a personal definition and can take many forms.Slowing down allows us to recognize misalignment in our lives.Grieving unmet desires is a natural and necessary process.Acceptance of what we cannot control opens up new possibilities.Rumination keeps us stuck, while grief allows for healing.We must focus on what we can control to regain our power.Our journeys are unique, and we should honor that.Letting go of attachment to outcomes can lead to greater fulfillment.Navigating Desire and AcceptanceThe Journey of Grief and Growth"What if it was simply with being?""Your journey is unique to you.""I trust that what is for me will come."Sound BitesChapters00:00Understanding the Desire for Change01:43The Importance of Slowing Down03:39Navigating Powerlessness and Acceptance05:25Grieving vs. Rumination07:24The Stages of Grief09:12Letting Go of Control10:30Opening Up to Possibility12:35Finding Your Unique Path14:43Embracing the Human Experience17:07The Illusion of Certainty18:52Choosing Acceptance and Trust

Send us a textWhat would you do if grief knocked the breath out of your life? We sit down with Janice, a military mom who lost her son Sean, an Air Force firefighter with a bright smile and stubborn independence, to suicide. Her story doesn't end at the funeral. It turns—quietly, defiantly—into a mission: start real conversations, craft memorials that spark healing, and give people a safe place to say the hard parts out loud.Janice takes us into the day everything changed and the slow, courageous decisions that followed: leaving a steady job, launching “Sean's Story,” and transforming a craft table into a lifeline. She shares how remembrance decals and hand-painted tumblers aren't just products; they're prompts for the conversations that save lives. We unpack practical steps for helping loved ones at risk—recognizing behavior changes, asking direct questions, staying present, and connecting people with resources like 1-800-273-TALK—while pushing back against the silence that isolates so many families.We also dive into a clear, grace-centered look at freedom in Christ. No spiritual hustling. No worthiness ladder. Just the steady truth that we are free from the crushing weight of the law, no longer ruled by sin, guided by the Spirit, and uncondemned. If you've ever felt judged, unworthy, or tired of trying to earn God's favor, this conversation is a breath you can finally take. Acceptance is received, not achieved—and from that place of security, we can show up for ourselves and for each other.Listen for a mix of raw honesty, practical tools, and steady hope.

'My Dress-Up Darling' focuses on the art of cosplay to tell a heartfelt story about acceptance and passionately pursuing one's interests. Ionatan and Ravi dive deep into the series, discussing production notes behind the anime adaptation of Shinichi Fukuda's manga before breaking down how each season balances being a romantic comedy with the exploration of various otaku subcultures.

Misinformation is aggressively injected into the information ecosystem, and it is readily consumed and adopted by those who are too busy to fully pay attention, leveraging cognitive bias in a distracted society. This media manipulation is often fueled by financial incentives, rewarding so-called experts who deliver false narratives in entertaining and engaging ways. This weighs the heaviest on society when politicians can't agree on policy because they can't agree on facts. To search for the tools of truth, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Dr. Adam Berinsky, author and the Mitsui Professor of Political Science at MIT. Adam dissects the psychology of misinformation, by examining those who create it with malicious intent, the villains who disseminate it for profit, and the audience most likely to adopt it without question.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Acceptance Isn't the Issue"

We're all looking for a sense of acceptance somewhere. Jesus has a heart for the outcasts, but what about those who are outcasts because they've sinned against their community? In this episode, Jesus sits with a man named Zacceaus, the chief tax collector.  I can be blessed by the gifts of the Spirit in your life. I can be a recipient of your kindness, love, and mercy. I can benefit from your faith… But I can't borrow it.

Text and Be HeardWhat if the turning point in recovery isn't willpower, but acceptance? We go straight to the heart of Step Three and unpack how acceptance transforms vague intentions into tangible progress. Instead of forcing surrender, we build a path from change (Step One) to safety and help (Step Two), then into the daily practice of accepting reality—so you can move with clarity, not struggle against it.We challenge the comforting myths—“I'm not that bad,” “I can stop anytime”—and explore why the brain treats addiction like an oxygen line. From there, we offer practical tools that make acceptance real: protective routines that reduce friction, connection practices that lower shame, and the simple daily triad of laugh, work, and love. You'll hear why relationships feel lighter when both people lift their end, how skills outcompete excuses in your career and finances, and why soreness from training beats the slow ache of neglect over the long run.We also tackle spirituality without shortcuts. Rather than promising instant surrender, we invite a grounded approach: believe in something bigger and still own your choices. Prayer, reflection, and community can support that balance, but the engine is honest acceptance of where you are—emotionally, physically, financially, and relationally—so Step Four's honesty can land. If you're ready to stop wrestling with reality and start shaping it, this conversation offers a clear map: change, safety, acceptance, repeat.Subscribe for more grounded guidance on the 12 steps, share this with someone who needs a fresh start, and leave a review to tell us one truth you're ready to accept today.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

In today's episode, Gina shares with listeners the Serenity Prayer (popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous) and how it can help those of us suffering from anxiety. Though the prayer is thought to have been written by Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, the prayer is non-denominational and even applicable for those of us who are not religious at all.

While we have touched on the prayer previously, today's episode aims to explore it in depth, offering five key reminders to help individuals summon its wisdom in challenging times.We begin by revisiting the essence of the Serenity Prayer, originally penned by Reinhold Niebuhr. Most people recognize its familiar lines, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” Despite its Christian roots, the prayer has transcended religious boundaries, allowing anyone grappling with life's uncertainties to find solace within its message. The universality and simplicity of the language are what make it stick, serving as a mantra for countless individuals seeking peace amidst the chaos of their thoughts and feelings.Through my discussion, I emphasize the importance of acceptance as a foundational element in achieving serenity. Acceptance, often misconstrued as complacency or passivity, is an active engagement with reality. It requires recognizing the limits of our control and redirecting our energy toward aspects of life that we can influence. I encourage listeners to reflect on the areas of their lives where acceptance is essential, underscoring that embracing this concept can lead to a more peaceful existence without equating it to surrendering to defeat.#SerenityPrayer, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #MentalHealth, #Acceptance, #Courage, #Wisdom, #Surrender, #PersonalGrowth, #AnxietyRelief, #InnerPeace, #FaithAndTrust, #KnowTheDifference, #ChangeWhatYouCan, #LifeJourney, #PanicAttackRecovery, #CalmTheStorm, #SelfCare, #NervousSystem, #InspirationalQuotes, #WiseWords, #TimberHawkeye, #Niebuhr, #AAWisdom, #Humility, #UniversalTruth, #FindYourSerenity, #DailyPractice, #HabitChange, #SelfImprovement, #MakeAShift, #BeBrave, #StayStrong, #SelfReflection, #ConsciousLiving, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
