Friends, did you wake up to the news that Today host Karl Stefanovic had been sacked from Nine? SAME. And was our group chat pinging? OF COURSE.Which can only mean one thing, Outlouders. An emergency meeting just had to happen.In today's extra episode, Mia Freedman and Holly Wainwright unpack the absolute chaos of Karl’s contract ending, the playbook of the 'canceled' media mogul, and whether there's room for this many loud, middle-aged men in podcasting. On the agenda, we: Look at why that interview on Karl's podcast with Far Right UK activist Tommy Robinson was the final straw for Nine. Ask if a 'canceled' host can still win a Logie? Examine the rise of the Independent Bro-Empire. What do you think, Outlouders? Has Karl played this perfectly? Or is this a spectacular own goal?

Send us Fan MailDid you know that up to 80% of physical health complaints are linked to stress and anxiety? What if being stuck in fight-or-flight mode is the very thing preventing the changes you're trying to make?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA) Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore the sympathetic nervous system, the neuroscience of stress, and why chronic nervous system activation can keep us trapped in patterns of anxiety, hypervigilance, exhaustion, and reactivity.Far from being the enemy, the sympathetic nervous system is a brilliantly designed protective mechanism. The challenge is that modern life—24-hour news cycles, social media, political uncertainty, work pressures, and constant stimulation—can keep this system activated long after a genuine threat has passed.Tom and Ruth unpack the difference between reacting and responding, why real transformation requires access to the parasympathetic nervous system, and what it actually means to be stuck in survival mode. Ruth also shares her personal experience of hypervigilance following a serious injury and the intentional practices she has used to help her nervous system rediscover safety.In this episode:• What the sympathetic nervous system actually does• The real meaning of "sympathetic" — and why it has nothing to do with sympathy• Why fight or flight is protective, not the problem• How hypervigilance keeps us stuck in survival mode• Why chronic stress impacts both physical and emotional health• Managing versus adapting — and why only one creates lasting change• Practical tools for nervous system regulation, including breathwork, grounding, and intentional recovery• Why intentionality matters in today's stress-saturated worldIf you're interested in neuroscience, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, trauma recovery, stress healing, anxiety, or the mind-body connection, this episode offers a practical and compassionate framework for understanding how the body responds to stress—and how lasting change becomes possible.About the AHA PodcastThe Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast explores neuroscience, emotional resilience, trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, stress healing, and whole-person wellbeing. Through conversations with researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders, we examine how the brain and body work together to support health, healing, and human flourishing.New to AHA?

Send us Fan Mail100 episodes in — and we're marking it with one of the most important conversations we've had.What does the science of your nervous system have to do with healing from trauma — and why does autonomic homeostasis sit at the heart of lasting stress healing?In this special milestone episode, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson go deep into the neuroscience of emotional resilience and trauma recovery: how the brain and body store stress, why so many people stay stuck in cycles of dysregulation, and what it actually takes to shift that at a biological level.This is holistic health podcasting at its most evidence-based — a conversation that bridges mind-body science with the real experience of healing.In this episode:The neuroscience of how trauma is held in the bodyWhat autonomic homeostasis is and why it matters for recoveryBuilding emotional resilience from the inside outPractical frameworks for stress healing grounded in scienceThe Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast is a wellness podcast and alternative health podcast at the leading edge of health and wellness podcasting. If you're drawn to holistic health podcasts, health and wellness podcasts with real depth, mind-body approaches to healing, or wellness podcasting that takes the science seriously — you're in the right place.New to the AHA podcast?

The real test of philosophy is not what it teaches us in quiet moments, but what it demands from us when power, pressure, and ego enter the room. In today's episode, Ryan talks with Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, about Stoicism, leadership, responsibility, and the dangers of power without introspection. They discuss ego, the crisis facing young men, the loss of shared rituals and institutions, and why philosophy still matters in public life.

Send us Fan MailWhat is interoception—and why does it matter so much for stress, trauma, healing, and overall wellbeing?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals explore interoception, the brain's sensory awareness of the body's internal state. Together, they unpack how the brain and mind interpret feelings, emotions, pain, stress, and bodily sensations—and why interoception is central to nervous system regulation and homeostasis.Through conversations around trauma, healing, embodied cognition, and neuroscience, Ruth and Tom explore how the brain works to preserve life and support wellbeing, even when the mind feels overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in fear.You'll learn:What interoception is and why it mattersHow the brain interprets stress, pain, and emotionThe relationship between the brain, mind, and bodyWhy homeostasis is about adaptation, not perfect balanceHow embodied cognition influences healing and wellbeingThis episode offers a powerful reframe of the brain—not as a machine working against you, but as an intelligent, living system working to support life, resilience, and flourishing. Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send us Fan MailWhat is the autonomic nervous system—and why does it matter so much for stress, anxiety, and overall wellbeing?In this episode, Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals break down the autonomic nervous system in a clear, practical way—exploring how the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) systems work together to support homeostasis.If you've ever felt stuck in stress, overwhelmed, or unable to “switch off,” this conversation will help you understand why. Rather than seeing stress as the problem, Ruth and Tom reframe the sympathetic nervous system as a protective ally—and explain what happens when it dominates the system.You'll learn:How the autonomic nervous system regulates stress and recoveryWhy “balance” isn't the goal—dynamic homeostasis isWhat keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flightHow the brain and body work together to restore regulationThis episode offers a new way to understand your nervous system—so you can move from chronic stress into greater resilience, stability, and wellbeing.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send us Fan MailWhat if the brain isn't just an organ—but the context for everything we experience?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals explore the mystery of the brain, moving beyond a purely scientific lens into something more expansive. Together, they challenge the common assumption that the mind and brain are the same—and instead suggest that the mind is just one function of a much larger system.They unpack what happens when we stop trying to solve problems through the mind alone and begin engaging the brain itself—through interoception, homeostasis, and the practices behind AHA. From real-life examples to deeper philosophical questions, this conversation opens up a different way of understanding consciousness, identity, and human potential.This episode doesn't aim to give definitive answers. Instead, it invites curiosity—and a shift in perspective.Because the real question might not be how your brain works… but what your brain actually is.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send us Fan MailWhat if the brain isn't just in your head?In this episode, we take a 30,000-foot view of the brain and challenge one of the most common assumptions in modern neuroscience. Exploring the enteric nervous system—often called the “second brain”—we uncover why it may actually be the first, and what it means to understand the brain as a whole, integrated system throughout the body.From interoception and the vagus nerve to the role of internal “conversation” within our bodies, this episode reveals how health is not driven by isolated parts, but by connection. When that connection breaks down, dysfunction follows. When it's restored, the system can regulate, heal, and thrive.This conversation offers a powerful reframe of how we understand the brain, the body, and what it really means to experience well-being in a complex, connected system.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send a textWhat is actually happening in the brain when we feel calm, overwhelmed, reactive, or grounded?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson step back for a 30,000-foot view of the brain—a simple but powerful overview of the neuroscience behind how we process stress, trauma, and wellness.Rather than approaching the brain as something mysterious or overly technical, Tom breaks down its core structures using clear, accessible analogies—including the brain as a baseball mitt with a ball inside—to explain how different parts of the brain work together to help us survive, adapt, and thrive.Together they explore:Why the brain is fundamentally your ally, designed for your well-beingThe role of the prefrontal cortex in executive function, anticipation, decision-making, and problem-solvingHow the limbic system, including the hippocampus and amygdala, stores experiences and evaluates signals of reward or threatWhy your brain remembers everything you've ever experienced—even when you can't consciously recall itHow the autonomic nervous system carries signals from the brain throughout the bodyWhat happens when the brain shifts into sympathetic (fight/flight) or parasympathetic (rest and restore) statesWhy past experiences and trauma can shape how the brain interprets present situationsThe conversation highlights a key insight:Understanding the brain doesn't require becoming a neuroscientist—but having a basic map of how it works can dramatically improve how we respond to stress, relationships, and everyday challenges.Next episode we look at why the brain is actually three parts and how the original part of the brain lives in your gut.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send a textIn this timely and deeply practical episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom and Ruth explore what it means to live in a world saturated with distressing information — from global conflict to cultural upheaval to deeply personal stories of abuse and loss.We are not just observers anymore. Through constant news cycles and social media exposure, we are often participants in vicarious trauma — absorbing pain that is not directly ours, yet deeply affects our nervous systems.In this conversation, we unpack:What vicarious trauma actually is — and how it differs from everyday stressWhy some stories trigger us more than othersThe difference between sympathetic responses (stress, anxiety, anger, depression) and parasympathetic processingHow collective events like COVID may have shifted our baseline stress levelsThe surprising neuroscience insight: pain is not the enemy — it's a homeostatic signalHow to move from reactive fight-or-flight to restorative regulationWe explore a powerful reframing:Pain functions much like thirst or hunger. It is not something to suppress, but something to respond to wisely. When processed through the parasympathetic nervous system, pain becomes productive — guiding us toward restoration rather than reactivity.This episode is especially for:Parents navigating hard conversations with their childrenLeaders and caregivers carrying collective weightAnyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or numb in today's climateTherapists, coaches, and helpers managing emotional proximity to others' traumaIf you've felt “off,” on edge, or emotionally flooded after scrolling headlines — this conversation will help you understand why.And more importantly, it will help you return to center.Because the goal isn't shutting down pain.It's learning how to process it in a way that restores homeostasis — in body, mind, and spirit.Take a breath.Let's activate regulation together.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore how the brain thinks independently of the conscious mind—and how this capacity supports healing, clarity, and thriving.Building on their previous conversation, they examine the difference between mind-based problem solving and brain-based wisdom, introducing the concept of cognitive homeostasis. The discussion unpacks why the mind often loops in fear, trauma, and overanalysis, while the brain integrates information holistically and delivers insight through spontaneous “aha” moments.You'll learn:What cognitive homeostasis is and how it differs from somatic homeostasisWhy the brain generates involuntary insights, memories, and realizationsHow trauma and stress disrupt the brain–mind partnershipWhy “thinking harder” often blocks healing and problem-solvingHow Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA) facilitates access to the brain's wisdomThis episode is especially relevant for anyone experiencing chronic stress, trauma patterns, health anxiety, or feeling stuck despite trying to “figure things out.”Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send us a textWhat if the breakthrough you're looking for isn't found by thinking harder—but by listening differently?In this episode, Ruth Lorensson and Thomas Pals continue their exploration of the wisdom of the brain, introducing the concept of cognitive homeostasis—how the brain independently problem-solves and offers insight beyond the mind's habitual loops.They unpack aha moments, involuntary thoughts, and sudden clarity as signs of the brain cutting through trauma-informed, fear-based thinking to guide us from survival to thriving. The conversation also introduces how Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA) can intentionally create the conditions for these insights to emerge.Key TakeawaysYour brain is already thinking—even when your mind feels stuckOverthinking can block the brain's natural problem-solving capacitySudden insights are often signs of cognitive homeostasisHealing and clarity emerge when the mind learns to listenYou can intentionally create space for the brain's wisdom to surfaceSupport the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Send us a textRead this article here“Everyone who is engaging with humans—as a teacher, a psychotherapist, as a bodyworker—should be aware of the state of the other,” Porges explained. It's not dismissive to say this. It's foundational. Take a moment to consider how often you truly do this in your work. I'm not talking about structural or postural assessment, at least not in the way that many manual therapists typically do. I'm talking about sensing and feeling the level of autonomic reactivity your client [and you!] experience.When you become polyvagal-informed, you're evaluating your client's autonomic state through observation: their muscle tone, their breathing patterns, the quality of their voice, how they hold themselves in space. You're noticing who's tightly wrapped and who's more accessible, and these cues are often quite subtle. Support the showSubscribe to our Substack: "More Than Hands" Send us an email: podcast@healwell.orgLeave us a voice message: 703-468-1799 Check out our interview-style podcast: InterdisciplinaryYou can support Healwell and the cool things we make by donating here!Ways join in: Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out Healwell's live and online classes Continue the conversation with a free 3-day trial of the Healwell Community Find a copy of Rebecca Sturgeon's book: "Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care" Thank you to ABMP and AMTA for sponsoring us!Healwell is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based out of the Washington DC area.

Send us a textRead this article hereThe Work We Do But Won't NameScholars who study labor have a term for work that involves “particularized knowledge and sustained personal attention.” They call it intimate labor. According to scholar Viviana Zelizer's framework, this work includes things like shared secrets, bodily information, awareness of personal vulnerability, interpersonal rituals, and private languages.Read that list again. Now think about what happens in a massage therapy session.We know our clients' bodies in ways that even their partners may not. We hold their secrets about pain, about stress, about the divorce they haven't told anyone about yet. We know things about our clients we don't even realize we know, the way a janitor knows what a household discards, learning private details from what people throw away.Support the showSubscribe to our Substack: "More Than Hands" Send us an email: podcast@healwell.orgLeave us a voice message: 703-468-1799 Check out our interview-style podcast: InterdisciplinaryYou can support Healwell and the cool things we make by donating here!Ways join in: Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out Healwell's live and online classes Continue the conversation with a free 3-day trial of the Healwell Community Find a copy of Rebecca Sturgeon's book: "Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care" Thank you to ABMP and AMTA for sponsoring us!Healwell is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based out of the Washington DC area.

Send us a textRead this article hereEmotional labor is work that involves managing your and other people's emotions. Emotion management (also known as emotion work) is how you actively shape and direct your feelings. Emotion management happens internally and is a private activity. It becomes emotional labor when that private activity becomes public work.This distinction matters. Support the showSubscribe to our Substack: "More Than Hands" Send us an email: podcast@healwell.orgLeave us a voice message: 703-468-1799 Check out our interview-style podcast: InterdisciplinaryYou can support Healwell and the cool things we make by donating here!Ways join in: Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out Healwell's live and online classes Continue the conversation with a free 3-day trial of the Healwell Community Find a copy of Rebecca Sturgeon's book: "Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care" Thank you to ABMP and AMTA for sponsoring us!Healwell is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based out of the Washington DC area.

Send us a textRead The Price of Free hereWe've all felt the frustration. How can we make therapeutic massage accessible? On top of that, how can we do that while maintaining professional value and sustainability? Many well-intentioned practitioners turn to volunteerism as a solution, offering free services at community events, for hospital staff, at health fairs, and just about anywhere else we're invited.While this impulse comes from a genuine desire to help, massage therapy volunteerism may actually perpetuate the very systemic problems it seeks to address. Bonus: it artificially depresses the entire profession's worth. It's like a coordinated effort to undermine ourselves, except nobody planned it.The solution to massage therapy access issues doesn't lie in an increase in free services. It lies in reframing massage therapy as a public health necessity rather than a luxury service.Support the showSubscribe to our Substack: "More Than Hands" Send us an email: podcast@healwell.orgLeave us a voice message: 703-468-1799 Check out our interview-style podcast: InterdisciplinaryYou can support Healwell and the cool things we make by donating here!Ways join in: Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out Healwell's live and online classes Continue the conversation with a free 3-day trial of the Healwell Community Find a copy of Rebecca Sturgeon's book: "Oncology Massage: An Integrative Approach to Cancer Care" Thank you to ABMP and AMTA for sponsoring us!Healwell is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based out of the Washington DC area.

Sometimes homesteading is idealized and you get stars in your eyes, thinking it'll be so perfect... until it's not. Aimee and John Willis of Vintage Meadows tell the story of how a health crisis made them pivot from their original life goals into homesteading. They bought 4 acres and gave it a go. Then they had to sell it all and start all over, and over, and over again. You might call it a failure, a pivot, or simply relatable – but whatever it is, it shows the resilience of two people who want to nurture themselves and their community well and who haven't thrown in the towel just yet.   Visit Aimee and John Willis' website: vintagemeadows.farm Follow the Wise Traditions on the podcast app of your choice or on Apple Podcasts Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Sirius Nutrition
