The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves. For many, the church represents healing, faith, and community. But what happens when our church communities have been responsible for our harm instead of our healing? To discuss this complex and sensitive topic, this week we're joined by Dr. Thema Bryant a Licensed Psychologist, Ordained Minister, and the 2023 president of the American Psychological Association. In our conversation, we discussed why it is important for faith communities and psychological communities to align, how religious institutions can create more ethical standards to protect members from abuse, and how to navigate feelings of anger toward God after surviving abuse in the church.     Resources Visit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast.

Grab your coffee! We have an incredible double expresso about creativity and emotions. In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood welcome Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, a Senior Research Scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Dr. Ivcevic studies the role of emotions in creativity and well-being, as well as how to use the arts (and art-related institutions) to promote emotion and creativity skills.   In Part 1 of this discussion, you'll learn how people engage in the creative process and the role emotions play in that process. Stay tuned for Part 2 to hear Zorana's Tips for Teachers and Parents, as well as strategies for supporting students as they navigate the emotional side of creativity in the k-12 classroom.   Listen in as Zorana breaks down the three major factors attitudes people feel towards creativity: anticipating negative social consequences, internal anxiety, and the feeling that creativity is important to them. These attitudes about creativity can tell us about their creative behavior at school and how they approach schoolwork and creative projects.    “People weigh each of these things in their minds as they are deciding what to do with the ideas they might be having.” – Zorana Ivcevic Pringle   Zorana shares tips and advice for teachers who have students that are anxious towards creativity. Then, she talks about what Social Cognitive Theory can tell us about how self-efficacy supports creativity, especially in kids.   Plus, Zorana sheds light on how education systems are hindering teachers' ability to facilitate creativity in the classroom and the need for greater policy change.    “This is what the leaders of the world economy are telling us, and of major organizations this is what we need, but there's a disconnect from the world of educational priorities.”  – Zorana Ivcevic Pringle Recommended Resources: When Part 2 is released, add the link here!   Eager to bring more creativity into your home or classroom?  Access a variety of creativity resources and tools & listen to more episodes of The Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast by visiting our website,  www.CreativityandEducation.com.   How can you promote Teacher Creativity?  Read and watch how the concept of Teacher Creativity and Design Thinking can increase teacher agency using new technology, help build a culture of innovation, and support diversity and inclusion and social-emotional learning at your school.

What role do emotions play in creativity? Are we more creative when we're happy? In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood continue their discussion with Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, Ph.D., a Senior Research Scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In part 1 of this double expresso, Zorana talked about how people engage in the creative process and how that applies to the classroom environment.   In part 2, you'll learn more about the emotional side of creativity along with strategies for supporting students as they navigate emotions and creativity in the k-12 classroom. Zorana highlights the Theory of Emotional Intelligence, detailing how we can harness the power of our emotions to express creativity and achieve our creative goals. This insight is very helpful for teachers in helping students be more creative and more in touch with their feelings, moods, and emotions.   Zorana also shares insights from her new book, The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity and Emotion, and how they apply to creativity in education.   “What we have learned from these studies is pretty unanimous, actually - that positive, pleasant, highly energized moods, such as being happy, is helpful for creative thinking. People come up with more ideas and more original ideas in these states.” – Zorana Ivcevic Pringle   Zorana's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Creativity is full of emotions. From anxiety in front of an empty screen to frustrations when you're facing obstacles to the joy and pride of success. All are part of the creative process. Remind yourself and your students that challenging feelings are not a sign of lack of creativity skills, but they are a normal part of the creative process and can be expected. When teaching for creativity, it's important to model and support the process of transforming ideas into an end product. That process may be long and will require flexibility, adjustment, and facing frustrations. Teach students how to regulate their work on creative projects. They need to be aware that they will have to persist through difficulties, but they can use the emotions they experience in service to their project.    “The advice shouldn't be that we have to be happy or joyful in order to be creative, but it oftentimes happens like that. There are also other people who got inspired by grief and by pain and by anxiety, so that is possible too and we shouldn't discount it, especially when we are giving advice of how to be inspired.” – Zorana Ivcevic Pringle   Recommended Resources: Listen to Part 1 with Zorana Ivcevic Pringle The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity and Emotion by Jessica D.

Dr. Louise Lubin is a licensed clinical psychologist in Norfolk, Virginia who has practiced adult, marital, and family therapy for nearly forty years. With her focus on survivorship in chronic and life-threatening illnesses, she developed programs and a website “Many Paths to Healing” for hospital systems and physician groups to provide patients with the necessary tools to cope and manage the challenges of illness. She is a retired Community Faculty at the Eastern Virginia Medical School and a lifetime member of the American Psychological Association and the National Register of Health Providers. She has recently published, Your Journey Beyond Breast Cancer- Tools for the Road- an interactive guide for women at any stage of their cancer journey. ✨A few highlights from the show: 1. Cancer demands that you learn how to take care of yourself, communicate, and ask for what you need. You must be assertive! 2. We have control over what we "think" is happening to us. 3. It is counterproductive to feel guilty about having cancer. 4. People need to take their cues from the patient. 5. Listen has the same letters as silent!

Today's guest is none other than Dave Asprey, back for his third appearance. A true pioneer of the biohacking movement, Dave has devoted his life to elevating human performance using the latest scientific research combined with ancient healing traditions. His mission here today, and in his life, is to share with the world the latest discoveries in health and wellness to help people break through mental and physical barriers, to accomplish the unimaginable, and to be superhuman. I assure you this is not your run of the mill Dave Asprey interview. We talk about his move to Austin on the heels of his recent divorce, the perils of living on an island in Canada during a three-year period of tyranny, the rarely discussed and unglamorous challenges of having your own farm, how a vegan diet wrecked his health and his teeth, and why he doesn't recommend it – among many, many more hot-button issues. We also spend time exploring his new book, Smarter Not Harder, which is essentially about embracing laziness as a way to cultivate more energy. If nothing else, Dave is a free thinker and world-class innovator; and we get a full download in this one. He shares why he's no longer repping Bulletproof, the company he founded. And finally, we get the nitty gritty on moldy coffee and why he infused trace minerals into his new Danger Coffee to make it even more potent.

In a 2021 American Psychological Association survey, nearly 3 in 5 employees (59%) said they have experienced negative impacts of work-related stress in the past month, and a vast majority (87%) of employees think actions from their employer would help their mental health. For Adam Nemer a Mental Health Leadership Consultant After a 20 year leadership career in Healthcare, mostly as a CFO and Sr Operations Executive, I've launched Simple Mental Health Leadership Consulting (www.simplementalhealth.com). Our purpose is to help leaders create stigma-free mental wellbeing workplace cultures. We do that by putting mental health literacy in their leadership toolboxes right next to marketing, finance, sales, and all the other skills they acquire over our careers. Our mission is simple: help organizations improve employee retention, performance, engagement and happiness by facilitating the creation of mental health literate leaders and psychologically safe organizations. At least 20% of American's every year experience a clinically diagnosable mental illness that pains the individual and impacts the performance of organizations just as much as any physical illness. While stigma still prevents most people from getting care, awareness of mental illness in the workplace has grown significantly post-pandemic. So much that the US Surgeon General has identified "Workplace Wellness" as one of the top 5 population health priorities for the country and 81% of workers report that they will be looking for workplaces that support mental health in the future. However, all the way from senior leaders to line supervisors, leaders don't know what to do. Their education and training was informed by the myths and stigmas of mental illness. (eg: "Leave your emotions at the door.") Widely adopted workplace wellness investments aren't "righting the ship." They're strategies bumping up against traditional organizational cultures. That's where we come in. We teach you what to do. We partner with you to incubate compassionate leaders who understand the connections between their leadership approach, their colleague's mental wellbeing, and core business metrics such as turnover, attendance, productivity, employee engagement and team dynamic. Leaders committed to creating psychologically safety among their teams. Leaders who don't see their teammates as employees or colleagues who are supposed to leave their emotions at the door, but as people who can't be separated from their feelings.

The most alarming repetitive headline was that recruiting goals were not met across the board. Of course, one might think that isn’t a big deal given that we have pulled out of Afghanistan and aren’t technically in an active war with anyone. That is, if you ignore the ‘secret wars’ in Syria and Iraq and our proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, but I digress. This news rightly rocked legislators and should concern Americans at large because of our increased tensions with China, which seems to be inevitably heading toward a future war. However, let’s say you think the prospects of us finding ourselves in a hot war, like Afghanistan or a conflict with China, are slim to null. The fact that most young Americans couldn’t join the military if they wanted to should matter to every American, as it directly reflects the type of society we currently elevate. A recent study has found that 77% of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 are physically unqualified to join the armed services, up 6% from 2017. To put that into simpler terms, over three-quarters of Americans within the prime military recruitment ages are too fat to raise their right hand to serve. Look at those two statistics I mentioned again. It might be bad now, but that same demographic was just as fat and unqualified six years ago. According to 2020 numbers, 42% of American adults are considered obese, with 19% on active duty falling into that category. That number is up from 16% of obesity in the active duty force in 2015. Ironically, some of the blame, according to experts, falls on a food insecurity program many active duty and young Americans are forced to participate in. For example, the United States Department of Agriculture found in 2015 that 40% of participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are obese. An estimated 22,000 Active Duty and over 250,000 National Guard families receive SNAP benefits. For those of us familiar, that means a whole lot of government cheese and other processed food. Here’s Bill Maher on the obesity crisis: https://twitter.com/i/status/1555939261043511296 - Play Video Anybody who has tried to eat healthily knows it is costly and cumbersome. For example, research from Utah State University found that if a family of four were to grocery shop based on the healthy dietary guidelines, it would cost them approximately $14,400 annually. The recruiting dilemma facing the military, like most issues plaguing the Armed Forces, is multifaceted. Army Lt. Gen. Xavier Brunson explains, “Some of the challenges we have are obesity, we have pre-existing medical conditions, we have behavioral health problems, we have criminality, people with felonies, and we have drug use.” That’s a pretty damning yet accurate depiction of America’s youth. Additionally, many Americans need help to pass the education standards the Armed Forces require. Often joked as a test you get half credit for if you can spell your name right, the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) is used to see if you are smart enough to wear the uniform and what jobs you might have a natural aptitude for. According to security analyst Irina Tsukerman, “falling intelligence and education standards” have made the military less prepared for “asymmetrical or conventional challenges.” The Navy is tossing around the idea of lowering the minimum scores for acceptance on the AFQT and increasing the age ceiling from 35 to 41. Lowering standards might increase the number of recruits, but what about the quality? The Army is opting to keep its standards but has stood up what they call the Future Soldier’s Prep Course at Fort Jackson to get recruits whose scores are too low up to snuff. The Centers for Disease Control classifies obesity as a security threat stating that 1 in 5 kids and 2 in 5 adults are obese. With American kids graduating high school without knowing how to read or do simple math, one could argue our public education system is also a security threat. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/01/uk-cat-cull-was-considered-early-in-covid-crisis-ex-minister-says UK cat cull was considered early in Covid crisis, ex-minister says The UK government considered whether it might have to ask people to exterminate all pet cats during the early days of the Covid pandemic, a former health minister said. It was unclear whether domestic cats could transmit coronavirus, James Bethell said. He told Channel 4 News: “What we shouldn’t forget is how little we understood about this disease. There was a moment we were very unclear about whether domestic pets could transmit the disease. “In fact, there was an idea at one moment that we might have to ask the public to exterminate all the cats in Britain. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had wanted to do that?” In July 2020, at the height of the Covid crisis, cat owners were warned not to kiss their pets after a female Siamese became the first known animal in the UK to catch the disease. Margaret Hosie, a professor of comparative virology at Glasgow University who led the screening programme, advised cat owners at the time to “observe very careful hygiene”. It comes as Lord Bethell’s boss at the time, Matt Hancock, the former health secretary, is facing a series of claims based on a leaked cache of more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages. The messages provide an insight into the way the UK government operated at the start of the pandemic. They include the suggestion that Hancock rejected advice from England’s chief medical officer, Prof Sir Chris Whitty, to test everyone going into care homes in England for Covid. Hancock vehemently denies overruling clinical advice. A spokesperson called the claim “categorically untrue”. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chicago-mayor-lightfoot-reacts-election-loss-says-she-was-treated-unfairly-because-her-race-gender Chicago Mayor Lightfoot reacts to election loss, says she was treated unfairly because of her race, gender Ding Dong the Witch is Dead- Play 0:08-0:15 How’d that get in there? Ousted Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot explained away her Tuesday election loss as a result of her being a "Black woman in America." Lightfoot faced eight challengers and finished Tuesday night's election in third place, failing to get enough support to continue into a runoff election. Reporters pressed her on whether she believed she was treated unfairly during the campaign process. "I’m a Black woman in America. Of course," she responded, according to reports. "Regardless of tonight’s outcome, we fought the right fights and we put this city on a better path," Lightfoot said Tuesday night, adding that serving as Chicago's mayor was "the honor of a lifetime." She also blamed the tricksie hobbitses for her loss. For those keeping score: Paul Vallas lead the way with 33.8% of the vote, Brandon Johnson received 20.3%, and Lightfoot received 17.1%. With Lightfoot out of the race, Chicago Public Schools CEO and city budget director Paul Vallas will face off against Cook County Board of Commissioners member Brandon Johnson in the April 4 runoff. Neither candidate reached the 50% necessary to win the election outright on Tuesday, though Vallas came closest with 33%. Dime Payments Dime Payments is a Christian owned processing payment business.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, signed the GOP-led House Bill 1125, also known as the “Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures (REAP) Act” into law on Feb. 28. Under the legislation, which is effective immediately, individuals in the state are banned from “knowingly engaging in conduct that aids or abets” the performance or inducement of gender transition procedures for Mississippians under the age of 18. The bill also prevents public funds or tax deductions for prohibited gender transition procedures, noting that the direct or indirect use, grant, payment, or distribution of public funds to any entity, organization, or individual that provides gender transition procedures to individuals under the age of 18 is also prohibited. It also puts in place enforcement procedures on the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure. Any health care professional found to be in violation of the ban will have their license to practice medicine in the state revoked. The measure, which also prevents Medicaid from reimbursing or providing coverage for gender transition for persons under the age of 18, allows for health care providers to be sued by their former patients, via their “parent or next friend” within 30 years. In a separate statement on Twitter shortly before signing the law, Reeves said there are individuals in the state who are “attempting to push a sick and twisted ideology that seeks to convince our kids they’re in the wrong body and the solution is to drug, sterilize, and castrate themselves.” The signing of the bill makes Mississippi the latest state to enact a ban on gender-affirming care after South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, also a Republican, signed a similar “Help Not Harm” bill into law last month. Similar bans have also been passed in Alabama, Arizona, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah, although some of them are currently being blocked by lawsuits. Nebraska and Oklahoma are also considering similar bills and last month, Republican Florida state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia introduced a bill that would require businesses that cover the cost of gender-transition medical care for their employees to pay for any subsequent detransition care. Supporters of such bills claim that they are intended to safeguard children. Experts have said that four out of five children grow out of gender dysphoria once they reach adolescence. However, opponents, including a string of major medical organizations like the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Psychological Association, have all voiced support for gender transition care among minors, arguing that it is safe and effective. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which works to “protect and defend individuals’ rights,” said in a statement on Tuesday that the new legislation “shuts the door on medical best practice and puts politics between parents, their children, and their doctors.” “This life-saving care was already difficult to access for trans youth across the state, and is now entirely out of reach,” ACLU said. “Our politicians continue to fail trans youth — but we will never stop fighting back against this ongoing attack against trans rights across the nation. Trans youth shouldn’t have to fight this hard to be who they are.”

Around three-quarters of adults (76%) said they have experienced health impacts due to stress in the prior month, including headache (38%), fatigue (35%), feeling nervous or anxious (34%), and/or feeling depressed or sad (33%). In a 2021 American Psychological Association survey, nearly 3 in 5 employees (59%) said they have experienced negative impacts of work-related stress in the past month, and a vast majority (87%) of employees think actions from their employer would help their mental health Dr. Annie White developed a revolutionary step-by-step method to dramatically lower stress and anxiety. Her mission is to help you by giving you actionable tips you can use right away. Dr. Annie White will tell you why the typical tips to lower stress don't work and what to do instead. She's the author of the book The Calm Code. Annie developed a method to wire the mind to eliminate high stress and anxiety based on the science of the brain. It's her mission to help as many people as possible move from "Stressville" to "Calmtown." She knows firsthand what it's like to live in Stressville - as she says, she'd moved in and started decorating. Annie has a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine and developed the rewiring method for her patients. Then she went through a tough time where she saw for herself what high stress can do to your mind. She was anxious, irritable, negative - you could say a nightmare on feet. And she almost lost her marriage. Everything turned around after she used the tools in her book. Once she saw how well they worked, it was her mission to get them to everyone who needs them. These days that's probably everyone but the Dalai Lama. She joined me this week to tell me more.

You SHOULD stop saying the word SHOULD immediately if you want a near-instant boost to your mental health and creativity. That's the recommendation from psychotherapist Dr. Ron Alexander. Dr. Alexander is a go-to mindset shifter for clients including Apple, Universal Pictures, Sony Entertainment and Microsoft. He's also the author of Core Creativity: The Mindful Way to Unlock your Creative Self. The American Psychological Association says 27% of adults report being so stressed they can't function in everyday life! Read the report here.  Dr. Alexander has a simple tip that provides a lot of us relief. Stop saying the word should. He calls it the most stressful word in the English language. Dr. Alexander says the word should is harmful because "it implies you are wasting time or doing things that aren't important instead of what you 'should' be doing." You can stay out of the stress zone and get a near-instant positivity boost by using different self-talk.

According to the American Psychological Association, approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with about 60-67% ending in divorce. As a child of divorce, I've only known them to be bitter and spiteful. My guest, Skye Michiels, is out to change that. Skye is a dad, award-winning real estate leader, motivational speaker, and host of The 6AMERS Podcast, which provides inspiration and motivation for developing a healthy mindset, setting goals, and achieving happiness. As a divorced dad of two, Skye is passionate about promoting positive co-parenting and determined to show divorced couples that a better, healthier, and happier experience is possible when a positive co-parenting relationship exists. We discuss the shame and guilt of the "leaver" in a divorce, the benefits of positive co-parenting, tips to being happily divorced, and bust the myth of staying together for the kids' sake. Topics and Questions 1:28 - What does it mean to be very happily divorced? 2:49 - Is it possible to have a bad marriage and a good divorce? 5:01 - Does being happily divorced mean the entire divorce process was smooth and joyous? 8:41 - Is staying together for the kids realistic? 11:30 - Andy's experience as a child of divorce. 12:06 - Experience of the leaver. What helps deal with the shame? 17:35 - Do things like positive co-parenting and conscious uncoupling mean the bitter divorce is a thing of the past? 20:19 - How long did it take from saying I'm leaving to being happily divorced? 22:57 - What made you know it was time to end the marriage? 24:39 - What are some signs you are not in a great co-parenting situation? 28:20 - What are some tips for creating a positive co-parenting relationship? 30:10 - Would your partner say you are a great ex-husband? 31:17 - Does being divorced turn you off from ever being married again? 32:24 - What are some of the biggest challenges for divorced men? 33:44 - What does leading with kindness mean? 36:26 - Tell me about your podcast, The 6AMERS. 38:44 - Skye, what's the best way for people to learn more and connect with you? "To be a happily divorced person, you must agree on your commonalities.

Many would agree that most teenagers are emotional. Sometimes those emotions are worn on the sleeve while other times they are more covert but often ever-present. How do we understand our teenagers' intense and often fraught emotional lives—and how do we support them through this critical developmental stage? For that, we have the pleasure of having the fabulous Lisa Damour back on our show today. Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, appears as a regular contributor to CBS News, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and maintains a clinical practice. She is the author of two New York Times bestsellers, Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood and Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls (we had Lisa on the show to discuss it!).

According to the American Psychological Association, smiling - even if forced - can help boost one's mood. But what if you cannot seem to smile in public? The CDC states one-quarter of adults over 65 have severe tooth loss. Missing, misaligned, and discolored teeth can truly impact one's ability to freely smile and have self-confidence. We see the public's endeavor to combat these through the rise of utilizing the dental technologies of teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, braces, implants, and Invisalign®. But many myths online surround the world of dental health and oral hygiene. Are yellow teeth normal? Do whitening strips work? Is there irreversible teeth misalignment? Are veneers worth it, and do they require shaving down teeth? Should I opt for braces or clear aligners?We are joined today by Dr. Joyce Kahng, a cosmetic dentist and founder of Orange + Magnolia Dental Studio in Costa Mesa, CA. She received her BS in Biology from the University of the Pacific in 2007, where she also received her DDS at the Arthur A.

Some providers of services use the term behavioral health. Some use mental health.  I have spent the  hours trying to get a concise meaning of both terms.    It ain't easy.   The American Psychological Association defines behavioral as:   ...an interdisciplinary subspecialty of behavioral medicine that promotes a philosophy emphasizing individual responsibility in the maintenance of one's own health and in the prevention of illness and dysfunction by means of self-initiated activities (jogging, exercising, healthy eating, not smoking, etc.). [proposed by U.S. psychologist Joseph D. Matarazzo (1925–  )] Mental Health.gov defines it as:   Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Here is the thing. There are jerk face doctors and corporations that employ doctors that sometimes hurt people with mental health conditions and disorders.   Or provide a gut punch when a doctor states that all you need is a bit of rest.    Or insist that medication is the only way to treat your problem (they mean anxiety problems, can't speak for the other stuff.)   Or are told buck the hell up this is life, deal with it.    There are some of us that do buck the hell up, give the presentation, go back to the hotel room and have a major meltdown of symptoms.    Dude, we vomit hard and steady and then go back to do it again and again.   Screw you doc, we are doing the best we can and then some. (Directed to the asshole docs, not the good ones.)   This is a pebble in the road on a functional but not perfect definition of health, physical health and behavioral health. With a side order of mental health. If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.

Jim talks with Gregg Henriques about his book A New Synthesis for Solving the Problem of Psychology: Addressing the Enlightenment Gap. They discuss the book's audacious attempt to explain the universe, definitions of metaphysics & whether it's needed, 4 bins for the history of the universe, the tree of knowledge system, psychology's ontological confusion, the Enlightenment gap, one-world naturalism & the mind-body problem, scientific knowledge's relationship with subjective knowledge, the metamodernist synthesis, psychology's disagreement about its own building blocks, the absence of a meta-paradigm, John Vervaeke's recursive relevance realization, definitions of mind, empiricism, mapping the internal/external relationship, the unified theory of knowledge, the meaning of biopsychosocial, 3 meanings of mind, Global Workspace Theory, justification systems theory, question-answer dynamics, positive & negative space in communication, justification dynamics, motivated reasoning, and much more.

You know I'm all about solving problems as fast as possible with the least amount of effort, and this episode is about just that. Today, I'm joined by Garrett Salpeter, a brilliant engineer and neuroscientist who started his company, NeuFit, back in 2009 and has not looked back since. We get to the shocking (and deeply healing) truth about direct current therapy, the inspirations behind his new home-use device which I am obsessed with, the Neubie, and go deep on the science of pain – revealing that pain is in fact felt on a much deeper level than what we might associate with it. If you're someone who's dealing with any of the following challenges, I highly recommend you give this one a full attention: plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, shin splints, knee ligament injury, hamstring strain, pulled groin strain, quad or hip flexor, back pain, neck pain – just about anything you can imagine in these categories of pain and injury. And for people who want a Neubie at home, like me, or if you're a pro practitioner that wants to integrate this into your own practice, there is a sweet deal waiting for you. NeuFit is generously offering $1,000 off a Neubie device if you order from neu.fit/luke. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

In 2019, the American Psychological Association pronounced “traditional masculinity” “harmful,” sparking an intense conversation about the nature of manhood that has yet to abate. (“Toxic masculinity” is now the more popular phrase.) But is there really a crisis of masculinity? And what is masculinity, for that matter? Join us as we dive into the conversation.

In this episode, Drs. Jim Loehr and Sheila Ohlsson Walker join Bradley to talk about the concepts in their new book, "Wise Decisions." In WISE DECISIONS, the authors introduce the concept of Your Own Decision Advisor or Y.O.D.A. – the inner voice that guides people's choices. “When the stories crafted by your inner voice are faulty or ill-conceived, the advice or decisions that emanate from those faulty interpretations will likely be flawed as well,” say Loehr and Walker. Anxiety, depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and fatigue are all capable of sabotaging a person's Y.O.D.A. They also discussed decision-making when emotionally "hot" or not.Get Wise Decisions on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Wise-Decisions-Science-Based-Approach-Choices/dp/1119931401Dr. Jim Loehr holds a masters and doctorate in psychology, serves on several scientific boards, and is a full member of the American Psychological Association, the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology, and has been inducted into three Halls of Fame.
