How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Pastor Jeremy | BFBC-Glendive | Sunday Rom 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ● The world needs to be taught to receive Jesus ● The church needs to be taught to receive the Holy Spirit Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. 1Cor 2:4-5 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. We will not be frozen out by formality, we will not be scared out by fanaticism. Psalm 100:1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! 2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. ● I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle Psalm 27 ● Sacrifice is an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy. CS Lewis said “Joy is the serious business of heaven” Joy is a demonstration of: ● The triumph of Christ ● Satan is defeated ● Your Father is greater than all Acts 26:2 “I think myself happy” ● He could have said: ○ “I am a lonely man” ○ “I am a broken man” ○ “I am a tired man” ● I'm standing in the place that Jesus said I would be 20 years ago, witnessing to the most important people in the Roman Empire that Jesus is Lord!! Man couldn't stop me, the devil couldn't stop me, shipwrecks can't stop me. You're better looking when you're happy...some of you should consider that. Really smart people at ORU did a study and found that chemicals and endorphins are released when you laugh...voluntarily or involuntarily. 192 times NKJV we see the word joy 127OT 65NT Joy is accompanied with: ● Singing - a bunch ● Shouting - a bunch ● Dancing - 1 Chron 15 ● Giving - 1 Chron 29 ● Celebrating - Ezra 6 ● Noise - Their joy could be heard afar off Neh 12 ● “See his face of joy” Job 33 ● Laughter - Psalm 126 ● Leaping - Luke 1 ● Rejoicing - a bunch Your demonstration can be out of: ● Appreciation ○ Psalm 150:2 Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! ● Expectation ○ Josh 6:16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city! ● Desperation ○ 2 Chron 20

Hebrews 12:1-2 - Running the Race Focus on Hebrews 12:1-2, emphasizing perseverance and encouragement. "Hebrews chapter number 12, verse number 1, And wherefore seeing, we also are compassed about so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Seventh Article of Faith Belief in the perseverance of saints in grace. Tied to Philippians 1:6: "Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Salvation is secure in Jesus' finished work (John 10). "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Eternal security is a gift, not earned. Responsibility to "stick with it" and "hang with it." "Don't give up. Don't lay it down. There ain't anything worth laying the cross of Christ down for." AWOL (Away Without Leave) concept: God never gives leave from service, love, obedience, prayer, etc. "When a man is AWOL, it means away without leave. And I don't know of a time that God ever gave a person leave. Not from His service. Not from His love." Every believer has a responsibility to share Jesus. "When it comes to telling somebody about Jesus, you're just as much required of that as I am." Running the Race with Patience 1 Corinthians 9:24: "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." Emphasizes running to obtain, not giving up. Run with patience the race "that is set before us." God prepares the race; there's a goal and purpose. "As a people of God, you ain't just running aimlessly. There's a goal. There's always a finish line with God." God sets the course; focus on running your own race. "If God set before you a course, you may say, well, I don't like this course." Galatians 5:7: "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?" Consider what hinders you from obeying the truth. Obstacles and difficulties are expected. Things to Consider to Help Run the Race Godly Examples "We also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." Living and dead examples encourage perseverance. Appreciation for those who "pressed through" despite struggles. "Thank God they pressed through. Some of you had something that you was fighting. Some of you have afflictions. Some of you have got problems." Examples of faithfulness in the face of adversity (cancer, heart problems, etc.). Future repentance for not following good examples. "Maybe some of us will have to repent here but when we get there we may have to repent some of them and say you left me an example but I didn't follow it." Lay Aside Every Weight Separate from sin; weights hinder a good race. "Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us." Worldly cares can be burdensome. "If you're going to run a good race from God, you better get the world on your shoulders today." Cast cares on God. Discipline is needed to remove "extra pounds." "If you've got extra pounds, it's going to take some discipline for you to get it off." Deal with Sin Sin cripples; address it by repenting and seeking forgiveness. "Sin will cripple you... If he can get us to yield to sin and keep us in a place where we won't deal with sin and take the sin to the Father and repent of it and let Him purge us of that sin, friend, you're going to try to run crippled and it ain't going to work."

Feeling stuck in your relationship? Like things are off, disconnected, or just… heavy? You're not alone. Relationship ruts are common — and they're often more about what's bleeding into the relationship (stress, burnout, life overload) than about the relationship itself.For those in anxious-avoidant dynamics, these ruts can feel especially charged. The anxious partner often wants to fix it, while the avoidant may feel overwhelmed or pressured — leading to even more distance.In this episode, I share 3 powerful shifts to help you move out of a rut and back into connection:Shift your focus to what is working — Appreciation and warmth go further than criticism.Reconnect through something light — Play, fun, and novelty can do what words sometimes can't.Tend to your own world — Reclaim your centre so the relationship doesn't carry the full weight of your wellbeing.Highlighted Links FREE TRAINING: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here September 2025 London Event Waitlist Additional Resources Join my email list

Most parents believe praise is an essential tool for raising confident, well-behaved children. We've been told to "catch them being good" and "focus on the positive." But what if our well-intentioned praise is actually functioning as a subtle form of control? What if praise isn't just celebrating who our children are, but secretly shaping them into who we—or society—want them to become? In this episode, we'll examine how praise affects children's self-concept, motivation, and behavior. We'll explore research on praise's effects, reflect on our own experiences with praise growing up, and draw on philosophical ideas to understand praise as a tool of power that teaches children to internalize social norms and regulate their own behavior. We'll also learn new tools to create more authentic relationships with our children and helping them develop true autonomy. Click here to download the list of 55 Ways to Support, Encourage, and Celebrate Your Child Without PraiseQuestions This Episode Will AnswerIs praise harmful to children?Praise can function as a form of control, establishing a conditional relationship where your approval depends on your child's actions. The underlying message becomes: "I'm excited about you when you do what I want." This contradicts what children need to flourish: unconditional love and acceptance for who they are, not what they do. What's the difference between praise and appreciation?Praise is evaluative language that judges a person's actions or character as "good" or "bad." Appreciation focuses on the impact someone's actions had on you personally. For example, instead of "good job setting the table," try "Thank you for setting the table—I really appreciate not having to do it myself." Does praise help motivate children?Research on praise's effects is mixed. Some studies suggest rewards undermine intrinsic motivation, while others indicate they can help establish habits. The more important question isn't whether praise works to change behavior in the short term, but what it teaches children about themselves and their worth in the long term. How does praise affect a child's development?Praise can create dependency on external validation. Many adults who received substantial praise as children become reluctant to attempt things they aren't already good at for fear of not receiving praise or worse, receiving criticism. This is often where perfectionism emerges—not from high standards but from fear that without perfection, they won't be valued or loved. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeYou'll discover what praise actually is and recognize when you might be praising your child without realizing it. Praise includes evaluative language like "good job," "you're so smart," or "I'm proud of you," and is typically given with the intention of encouraging children to repeat behaviors. You'll explore how praise functions as more than just emotional encouragement—it operates as a form of social control. When we praise children for certain behaviors, we're teaching them what society values and expects, defining what's "normal" and desirable. You'll understand how children internalize our surveillance through praise. They begin monitoring themselves according to external standards rather than developing their own internal value system. You'll learn practical alternatives to praise, including genuine appreciation that acknowledges specific actions and their impact, curiosity...

From being unable to say the word "autism" aloud to embracing the term "severe autism," James Gutman shares his transformative seven-year journey with his son Lucas in this heartfelt episode. He recalls a pivotal moment when someone referred to his non-verbal son's condition as "the real autism," triggering both offense and reflection about how we label and understand neurodiversity.James takes us through his evolution as a father and writer, revealing how his blog "Hi Blog, I'm Dad" (launched in 2017) chronicles their journey from fear to appreciation. He describes the early days of struggling to explain his son's silence to strangers, followed by years of growth that changed his perspective entirely. Rather than defending against pity or judgment, James now focuses on celebrating Lucas's unique way of experiencing the world—from the gentle finger games he plays with his sister to the fascinating way he studies his own hand in the sunlight.The episode offers rare insight into parenting a child with severe autism, balancing the clinical realities with moments of pure joy. James reflects on how Lucas brings him happiness even during challenging moments, and how his son's unfiltered emotions have taught him to live more authentically. With his book "Hi World I'm Dad: How Fathers Can Journey from Autism Awareness to Acceptance to Appreciation" launching soon, James invites listeners to understand that while labels serve their purpose, they never tell the complete story.

"Buddhism is not a belief system. It's not about accepting certain tenets or believing a set of claims or principles. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's about examining the world clearly and carefully, about testing everything and every idea. Buddhism is about seeing. It's about knowing rather than believing or hoping or wishing. It's also about not being afraid to examine anything and everything, including our own personal agendas . . . The message is always to examine and see for yourself. When you see for yourself what is true—and that's really the only way that you can genuinely know anything—then embrace it. Until then, just suspend judgment and criticism. The point of Buddhism is to just see. That's all . . . An ordinary person is simply one who is not awake in the moment; a buddha is a person who is. That's all." —Steve Hagan, author of Buddhism Plain and Simple: The practice of Being Aware, Right Now, Every Day To be fully human and see the humanity in all others. To have compassion for all sentient beings, understanding that they too experience all of the senses and are capable of emotions. This way of walking through life, engaging with it subtly, yet powerfully, infusing both our daily life and others, with the ability to be and express our full and most capable selves, is to live with awareness. To see and engage fully without expectation or harm. For example, one of the ladybird's gifts is their appetite for many pests in the garden, effectively being a natural pest deterrent; the talent of bees is to disperse pollen which plays a crucial role in the entire food production chain; and as we consider any human on earth throughout history who gives of their talents that further contributed positively to the world. These brave and determined souls, without each one, the world would not be as we know it today. When we celebrate the humanity of one another, we set each other free to discover the treasures we each uniquely have within us. Then it is each individual's job, at times daunting, but most primarily exhilarating, to share with the world what we have realized is our dharma - what we can uniquely share with the world that also energizes us while we engage in the giving. There is much confusion about what Buddhism is, and unlike what many Google searches will retrieve when we try to figure it out, it is not a religion. The Dalai Lama himself states it most directly, “Buddhist teachings are not a religion, they are a science of the mind.” In other words, it is an approach to understanding our own mind, NOT being told what to think nor HOW to live concretely. Rather the concepts of Mindfulness, Awareness, Compassion, Appreciation and Courage are many of the fundamental skills, which are also the core concepts of cultivating a life of contentment, a simply luxurious life. Tune in to discover more about how Buddhist psychology cultivates an everyday life of contentment.   Find the Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast403 

There's a quiet kind of suffering most men carry—and it comes from loyalty to the wrong things.Maybe it's a job that's slowly draining you...a city that no longer fits who you are...a one-sided friendship where you're always the one giving.. or an outdated identity you should have shed long ago. You keep showing up out of obligation, thinking it's noble—but deep down, you know it's costing you.This isn't about disloyalty to your values or your brothers...It's about waking up to the ways you're betraying yourself in the name loyalty. And loyalty to the wrong things will keep you from the life you were meant to live.If something inside you knows it's time to make a change—this episode is your sign.Check out my Online Men's Coaching Community We Are The They and see how it's changing men's lives across the globe!Get my FREE guide with 45 Days of Simple Tips to Become a Better ManPick up my USA Today bestselling book Be One: How to Be a Healthy Man in Toxic TimesJoin the Real Men, Real Conversations Facebook Group

Ern and Iso are back, and this episode is packed with real talk, hilarious insights, and thought-provoking takes on "Sinners Revisited."

What if everything you've learned about love and relationships is only scratching the surface?Let's be real—today's dating and relationship landscape is confusing AF. With tech distractions, shifting roles, and a world that's constantly hustling, finding deep, meaningful connections feels more complicated than ever. Masculine and feminine energies are out of whack. Men feel unsure of their roles. Women are rising into power, and society hasn't quite caught up with how to balance it all.That's why I had to bring Dene Logan to The Happy Hustle Podcast. Dene is a licensed marriage and family therapist, an author, and a podcaster who's been in the trenches helping couples figure this stuff out. And in this episode, we unpack everything you're not being taught about relationships, self-discovery, and the energies that shape your love life.This convo goes way beyond “relationship advice.” We talked about the deep stuff—how people are seeking fulfillment outside themselves, how modern dynamics have shifted, and why couples often wait until things fall apart before asking for help. Dené broke down how self-awareness and healing are the real secrets to attracting the right partner. And she even dropped some wisdom about celibacy being a tool for growth, which, let's be honest, most people aren't even thinking about when they're out there swiping left and right.One thing that hit home was how love has been devalued in today's hustle culture. We chase money, success, followers—but forget that relationships are sacred. Dene reminded us: real relationships require intention, mindfulness, and communication. Not just when things go bad—but every damn day.We also got into some fire convo around masculine and feminine energy—and before you roll your eyes or think it's all woo-woo, listen up. These energies aren't about gender. They exist in all of us. The masculine craves direction, purpose, and trust. The feminine wants to be seen, to feel flow, and to be held in presence. The problem is, most of us were never taught how to honor and balance both.So now we've got dudes confused about how to show up. Women stepping into their power and getting labeled “too much.” And couples who love each other, but feel disconnected because no one taught them how to communicate their needs and hold space for each other's growth.Dene and I also touched on the sneaky issues wrecking intimacy these days—like porn addiction, lack of presence, and trying to force traditional roles that don't work anymore. It's wild, man. In a world where you can connect with anyone instantly, more people than ever feel alone. And the truth is, community and honest, face-to-face connections are the antidote.One of the things I loved most about this convo is that it's not about being perfect. It's about being conscious. Dené says the couples who make it long-term aren't the ones who avoid conflict—they're the ones who keep showing up with curiosity, gratitude, and a willingness to grow. Instead of nitpicking your partner's flaws, focus on what they do well. Watch how fast the energy shifts when appreciation becomes the default.She also reminded me that longevity in a relationship doesn't equal success. Just because you've been together for 10 years doesn't mean you're aligned or fulfilled. Real success is about shared vision, mutual respect, and daily efforts to connect, not coasting through out of habit or fear.We even got into how celibacy, for some, can be a reset. A way to cut the noise and figure out what you want, who you are, and what kind of energy you're bringing to the table. It's not about punishment—it's about powerful clarity.And you know I had to ask her about what makes love last. Her answer? Growth. If you're not growing, together or individually, the relationship stalls. Personal development fuels relational development. And when both people are doing their inner work? That's when the magic happens.This episode is a must-listen if you're an entrepreneur trying to build your empire and nurture a meaningful relationship at the same time. Because the truth is—you can't pour into your business if your personal life is draining you. And honestly, what's all that success for if you don't have anyone to share it with?So if you're tired of surface-level connections… if you're wondering why the spark is fading… or if you're just ready to understand how to show up more powerfully in your relationships—this episode is your guide.We get into the juicy stuff—real stories, practical insights, and tools you can use right now to deepen intimacy, grow through challenges, and stay aligned with your truth.It's time to bring more depth, more awareness, and more sacredness into your relationships. Because love isn't a distraction from the hustle—it's the fuel that keeps your soul in the game.

So as long as I'm in alignment with following my bliss, normally everything that I'm meant to experience comes to fruition. So it's like worrying less and trusting.Connect with Denehttps://www.instagram.com/dene.logan/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY1-RvtCuTlvGgbv3OkVNqQhttps://www.tiktok.com/@denelogan?_t=8hBC24D9WsE&_r=1Find Dene on this website: https://denelogan.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
