Podcasts about Behavior

In this episode of the Deer Season 365 Podcast, we speak with Andy Little, from the University of Nebraska, about a research project he conducted examining how hunter behavior affects deer observation rates. It's a really cool peek into how our behavior as hunters influences our success in the field, and it will definitely leave you with some great takeaway advice to help you become a better, more efficient hunter.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!This week we're taking a short break from recording and revisiting a powerful episodes from mid 2024, Separate the Behaviors from the Addiction. How much should you focus on the substance? To what degree is the substance responsible for someone's behavior? Is it easier to forgive someone's bad behavior because they're addicted? Should compassion for a struggling addict or alcoholic overshadow your needs for an equal partner, or for honesty in a relationship? With all of the information on addiction that ranges from choice to disease, it's incredibly hard to know what you should have tolerance for and what you shouldn't. We propose something that worked for us - focus on the behaviors and how they affect you and cast aside the substance. It has been our experience that the substance only made existing behaviors more severe, but it was not the cause of all of them. Long after the substance was removed, many of the harmful behaviors within our relationship remained. We discuss the benefits of focusing on behaviors rather than the substance to bring clarity to a relationship or marriage where addiction is present. We also discuss some of the common ways alcoholics and addicts use the addiction as an excuse for their behaviors and how this keeps spouses "trapped." We touch on the dangers of long-term lying and emotional abuse from an addicted person and how these things affect a spouse, and why many of the harmful behaviors you identify hang around long after the substance is gone. Our goal for the episode was to highlight the fact that it's not the substance that causes harm, it's the behaviors that come along with addiction and how they affect you, your children, and your environment. Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Have you ever noticed that the more you explain, the more your child melts down? Parenting a child who reacts this way can leave you exhausted, frustrated, and worried. You try to reason, but instead of calming down, your child gets even more upset. In this episode, I'll share why talking often backfires when kids are upset, and how your calm presence, body language, and deep breaths can help your child regulate without words. You'll discover the brain science behind co-regulation and walk away with simple, practical strategies you can use in the moment to help your child feel safe.Why does talking make my child more upset instead of calming them?When kids are dysregulated, their brain shifts into fight, flight, or freeze. Logic and language shut down, and many parents notice that their words actually feel overwhelming instead of calming.More words = more stimulation → which leads to bigger emotions.A calm body speaks louder than lectures.Behavior is communication, not defiance.

What do horror movies and your pet's sense of safety have in common? More than you'd think.This week, Ellen and Emily get delightfully spooky as they unpack how elements that make horror films terrifying, like the lighting, sound, movement, and unpredictability, can actually teach us how to create safer, more predictable, and more empathetic environments for the animals (and humans!) in our care.From jump scares to dryer growls, to “Don't be Michael Myers,” this episode explores how understanding fear responses across species can help us support our pets' well-being and strengthen our bond with them.If you've ever wondered why your dog hesitates in the dark hallway or why your cat bolts at a strange noise, this episode will make you see your home through their eyes. Listen in to learn how to turn your pet's horror movie moments into feelings of safety, security, and trust.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 1️⃣ Lighting, Sound, and Movement Matter – Subtle environmental cues like dim lighting, rumbling sounds, or direct eye contact can evoke fear. Adjusting them can help your pet feel safer and more relaxed.2️⃣ Predictability Builds Safety – Just like we find comfort in rewatching familiar movies, our pets thrive when they can anticipate what's coming next. Predictable routines and clear communication create calm, confident learners.3️⃣ Don't Be Michael Myers – How we move, approach, and present ourselves affects how animals perceive us. Softening your body language and giving clear, consistent cues helps your pet know you're safe to be around, even when you're stressed.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

In this Evergreen Edition, we revisit one of the Big Buck Registry's most iconic conversations — Dr. Grant Woods, wildlife biologist and founder of GrowingDeer.tv, returns through the archive to remind us why great deer management never goes out of style. Originally recorded in 2013, this remastered and enhanced episode bridges past and present: new audio clarity, added context from 2025, and a closing commentary from host Jay Scott Ammann. Dr. Woods walks us through the fundamentals of deer biology, seasonal behavior, scent control, habitat management, and hunting ethics. In the wrap-up, Jay breaks down what's changed over the past decade — from prescribed fire practices and regenerative food plots to trail-camera regulations, moon-phase research, and the ongoing realities of Chronic Wasting Disease. If you've ever wanted a master class in understanding whitetails — from one of the best minds in the field — this Evergreen Edition is your chance to hear it anew, with insights updated for the modern hunter.  

The Irreversible Work of Jesus Discussion Questions: In your own words, what is the new covenant? How is it different from the old? What are the two unchangeable things? Why is this important to understand? React to this statement: Jesus shed His blood once, so you were forgiven by God once. What does once-for-all forgiveness mean for you at the final judgment? React to this statement: I'm allergic to sin and addicted to Jesus. Why does the true definition of “eternal life” (no beginning or end) matter so much? React to this statement: Behavior passages are like God showing us what clothes fit us best!

Reacting vs. Responding in Grief — Life After Suicide LossToday I'm “down the rabbit hole,” teasing apart reacting vs. responding after traumatic loss—not to shame reactions (they're human), but to widen the space where we can choose. We'll touch nervous-system patterns (fight/flight/freeze/fawn/flop), how to spot activation in real time, and how tiny, honest choices build a life aligned with values.If you've been listening to October's Daily Nuggets, this pairs with Hope → Healing → Becoming very wellReaction: fast, automatic, discomfort-ending; urgent; body running the show. Response: chosen, value-aligned; includes feelings; checks context/impact. After suicide loss, we're not “broken,” we're activated. The work is creating a small gap between impulse and action so love gets a say.Five protection styles (no shame, just data): Fight • Flight • Freeze • Fawn • Flop Tiny mantra: “My body is loud. I don't have to obey it.”How to tell you're reacting (so you can pivot): Body (jaw/chest/gut, heat/cold, tunnel vision, fatigue) • Thoughts (catastrophe, always/never, fixing others) • Behavior (fast texts, ghosting, auto-yes). Common activators: the day they died (aka 'the worst day'), songs, smells, certain phrases, etc—treat as green lights to pause.I give a real, recent example in the episode of how this concept shows up for me now that I am more practiced at responding over being on autopilot and just reacting.... AND here are two grounded general (common) examples:The Hot Text: Phone face-down → 3 breaths → “This is fight” → normalize → draft, don't send → after sleep, keep 2 lines, delete 10. Relationship and nervous system preserved.The Family Invite: Values check (honesty, tenderness, capacity) → two-liner: “Thanks for including me. I'm keeping things gentle this month and won't make it, but I'm sending love.”Top 5 tools (details in the PDF inside the Lighthouse Community Library)Thread back to Hope → Healing → Becoming Hope = capacity (not cheer). Healing = nervous-system literacy. Becoming = the widening gap between impulse and action—where love, truth, and capacity meet.“When the wave lifts, I do not argue the sea. I plant my feet, name the water, and choose the next breath.”

How might emergent strategies of group dynamics in nature inform our own technology and design?In this episode, Dr. Iain Couzin, Director of the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and one of the world's leading researchers on collective motion in animals, explores how nature's systems -- from swarming locusts and murmurations of starlings to schooling fish -- coordinate complex group behaviors without centralized control, and what these patterns can teach us about designing human systems that are more adaptive, resilient, and cooperative. Dr. Couzin shares insights from decades of research on how simple rules at the individual level can create intelligent, emergent behaviors at scale; offering powerful inspiration for rethinking collaboration, innovation, and decision-making in our own organizations and societies.This Critical Mast episode is part of a community podcasting experiment on the phenomenon of masting— when trees mysteriously synchronize to produce massive seed crops all at once. In my conversation with Dr. Couzin, we will look beyond the forest to another kind of synchronization: the elegant intelligence of swarming life.

Inflation report likely solidifies Fed rate cut this month  The September Consumer Price Index, also known as CPI, showed inflation climbed 3% year over year for both the headline and core numbers. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, came in better than both the estimate and the previous month's reading; both stood at 3.1%. It was a surprise to get this data with the government shutdown, but since it is used as a benchmark for cost-of living adjustments in benefit checks by the Social Security Administration it was a rare economic point in an otherwise quiet period. Energy, which provided such a benefit to the headline number for many months, has started to reverse course as it climbed 2.8% compared to last year. Gasoline was a small benefit as it was down 0.5%, but energy services climbed 6.4% thanks to an increase of 5.1% for electricity and an increase of 11.7% for utility gas service. What I would look to as tariff impacted areas, has still remained quite muted considering apparel prices fell 0.1%, new vehicles were up just 0.8%, and food prices had maybe thehardest hit with an increase of 3.1%. Much of this came from food away from home, which was up 3.7%. Food at home saw a more muted increase of 2.7%. Shelter inflation remained above the headline and core numbers at 3.6%, but it is much less problematic than it was in prior periods. Another positive was owner's equivalent rent climbed 0.1% compared to the prior month, which was the smallest month over month increase since January 2021. Overall, this report likely produced enough evidence for the Fed to cut rates at this month's meeting as odds stood above 95% after the inflation annoucement. The likelihood for a December cut also initially climbed to 98.5% following the report.    The bank earnings from last week had some surprising undertones. Overall, the third-quarter report from the big banks showed things are pretty much going along OK. But then a couple of the big banks brought up the issue of private credit and some bankruptcies that led to write-downs. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, pointed out that even though he said he probably should not say it that "if you see one cockroach, there are probably more." Some smaller financial institutions like Zions Bancorp and Alliance Bancorp took a $50 million charge and $100 million charge respectively due to potentially fraudulent loans. The issue here is commercial banks have been making loans to nonfinancial depository institutions or NFDIs and I point out that this type of funding is not very transparent for investors to see what is going on behind the scenes. I was surprised to learn that these NFDIs now account for roughly 1/3 of commercial and industrial loans originated by large banks. One may think if you're invested in AI companies, you're safe but research has shown that even your deep pocket players of AI are funding investments with these private loans. As time passes, the more I read, the more I become concerned about what we don't know about leverage in this economy. Risky investing behavior continues to amaze me! Many people will point out that we have missed the boat on crypto, but I continue to worry about the space long term as there is no true way to value what these cryptocurrencies are worth. While this is a major concern for our firm, I would say leverage in the space is another major risk. A big problem is the rules and regulations and ultimately the transparency in the space is not as clear as when you invest in public equities. I was blown away reading an article on CNBC by how crazy the leverage can be, and I bet most investors have no clue about it. While there are ways to leverage crypto in the US, the offshore market is where things get wild! Offshore, decentralized exchanges Hyperliquid offer maximum leverage of 40-times for bitcoin and 25-times for ether and Binance Labs-linked Aster offers as much as 100x leverage, depending on the token. Leverage is so dangerous because if a decline comes and investors need to unwind a position it can create a cascade of selling that leads to massive losses. It is not just the crypto market where people are gambling though. We saw a return to meme craziness with Beyond Meat producing massive gains of 128% Monday and 146% Tuesday. On Wednesday, the stock at one point produced another triple-digit intraday gain, but it ended up closing down 1% on the day. I also saw a nuclear power development company by the name of Oklo have a sizeable pullback after the Financial Times noted the 500% advance in 2025 and $20 billion market value has come despite “no revenues, no license to operate reactors and no binding contracts to supply power.”  These are examples of pure gambling and examples like these typically come during frothy times before reality hits and big pullback comes.    Financial Planning: The real cost of financial mistakes When it comes to financial wellbeing, avoiding mistakes can be even more powerful than chasing great decisions. Too often, people lose ground not from lack of opportunity, but from unforced errors. Drawing retirement income without tax strategy can quietly cost thousands in extra taxes or Medicare premiums. Holding too much cash or being overly aggressive both expose you to risk, one to inflation, the other to unrecoverable losses. Maintaining investing discipline sounds simple but emotional reactions like selling when markets fall or chasing what's hot can destroy more wealth than poor returns ever could. Many homeowners also miss out by not structuring their mortgage correctly resulting in more short-term fees, long-term interest, and missed investment returns. The key isn't perfection; it's recognizing that protecting yourself from big mistakes is often the best investment you can make.  When making a financial decision, do your best to get your information and advice from accurate and unbiased sources so you can fully understand the impact of the decision.   Companies Discussed: The Progressive Corporation (PGR), Bank of America Corporation (BAC), ManpowerGroup, Inc.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...   - Why some kids, especially sensitive kids, get dysregulated all over again when parents calmly try to talk about what happened later. - How shame can get triggered in your child, even when you're trying to be gentle and supportive. - What to do when “teaching moments” keep turning into meltdowns. - Why focusing on the before (not the after) of a hard moment can make all the difference. - Practical ways to help your child build self-control, handle frustration, and practice new skills without reactivating big emotions.   If you've ever thought, “I waited until she was calm… why is she losing it again?” this episode will help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface and give you fresh, compassionate strategies to help your child learn and grow.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

This episode goes for both immature men and women, because they think, feel, and act in similiar and immature ways. Stop expecting people to conduct themselves as mature when they are broken and lack mental maturity. It's all about the mindset! The problem is so many people are broken and because of it they embrace negativity and foolishless but they too are immature people. There are immature men and women in every single group/race! Unhealed people love and relish in negativity/bad news/gossip, etc. One major and important thing that is indeed free, but most people don't want, is the truth!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

If you've ever wondered why traditional discipline like timeouts, threats, punishments feel off or doesn't actually work, this episode will change the way you see toddler behavior. I'm joined by Devon Kuntzman, toddler expert and founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, to talk about how we can move from managing our kids' behavior to teaching through it. We unpack why toddlers act out, how to handle power struggles without punishment, and how parents can stay calm (and human) in those messy moments. Devon shares her framework for effective discipline, the difference between natural and arbitrary consequences, and the long game of raising emotionally intelligent kids. We discuss: Why toddlerhood isn't “terrible”—it's transformational and  what's really happening in the toddler brain Why punishment feels effective short-term but harms long-term growth The 3 parts of effective discipline: connection, limits, and teaching skills How to pause before reacting when you're triggered and the power of noticing positive behavior How to reframe “bad” behavior as communication The one question that can change how you discipline To connect with Devon Kuntzman check out all her resources at https://www.transformingtoddlerhood.com/.  Follow her on Instagram at @transformingtoddlerhood.

Zelle has tweaked its marketing strategy as it has looked to embrace being an emotionally resonant brand. Last month, it worked with its creative and strategic agency of record Pereira O'Dell to launch “When It Counts,” a new brand platform that positions everyday payments as acts of care. It also marks a new level of maturity for the brand, which in 2014 saw Americans send more than $1 trillion across 3.6 billion transactions. Andrea Gilman, chief marketing officer at Zelle and Paze network operator Early Warning Services, discusses this change, Gen Z behavioral changes she's observed this year and Early Warning's AI approach, including how it used the tech in Zelle's latest campaign.

In this week's conversation, we unpack Jesus' words about the narrow and wide gates from Matthew 7:13–14 — not as a warning about who gets in, but as an invitation into a deeper kind of life. Together they explore what it means to move from surface-level faith to genuine transformation — from self-sufficiency to surrender, from external performance to internal health. Along the way, they talk about Moses learning to take advice, the rich young ruler's struggle to let go, and the tension between looking good and being whole. It's an honest, down-to-earth dialogue about what it means to actually walk with Jesus, not just admire Him from a distance.

Despite all her research, she quickly learned that nothing can truly prepare you for the reality of living with a pig. With humor and candor, she talks about Chucky's early days: the high energy, stubbornness, and surprisingly human-like intelligence that make pigs both challenging and deeply rewarding companions.          Autumn and Ariana discuss what many new pig parents experience but rarely talk about — the messy, emotional, and wonderful learning curve of pig ownership. They touch on topics like:

Dr. Judy Morgan and Dr. Jeff Feinman discuss the limitations of conventional veterinary medicine and the benefits of a holistic approach. They emphasize the importance of addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. Key points include the role of diet in immune resilience, the impact of environmental factors on pet health, and the overuse of antibiotics and pesticides. They introduce the BEAM framework (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood) as a tool for monitoring pet health. Dr. Feinman advocates for a balanced, varied diet and energetic treatments like homeopathy and TCM to improve pet wellness.

Psychologist and author Dr. Wolfgang Linden joins us to explore why so much of our stress comes not from events themselves, but from our attempts to control them. Drawing on 40+ years of research and clinical experience, he breaks down the “illusion of control” and argues that we only truly have power over two things: how we respond and where we direct our energy. We dive into his emotion–thought–behavior framework, the dangers of suppressing emotions, and how small shifts in attention and behavior can interrupt toxic cycles. From relationships to health to life goals, Wolfgang shows how letting go can actually give us more peace, more agency, and a clearer path forward—sometimes even by knowing when to quit.

Who knew that there were so many ways we could engage in mental and emotional abusive behaviors.  Because so much of what we do has been modeled after behavior we experienced growing up, we often don't see the hurt and dysfunction in those behaviors. Educating ourselves on healthier behaviors is vital for our growth and progress. Because when we know better, we do better, right?  In this podcast we will explore behaviors we may be engaging in that are harming our relationships and preventing us from having the connections that we ultimately desire.  This is not meant to cause us shame or guilt, but rather to bring awareness to our actions so we can explore the feelings and thought behind them and ultimately clean them up.

When a child feels overwhelmed, their autonomic nervous system kicks into a stress response. Logic shuts down, emotional regulation goes offline, and no punishment in the world can teach better behavior in that moment. That's why we have to calm the brain first. When we do, co-regulation creates emotional resilience, nurtures healthy relationships, and supports lasting nervous system regulation—for our kids and for us.In this episode, I share why nervous system co-regulation beats consequences every time and how you can begin using simple, practical strategies to help your child move from survival mode into a calmer, more regulated state.Why don't consequences work when my child is dysregulated?When kids are in meltdown mode, their autonomic nervous system is in fight-flight-freeze. Logic and reasoning are shut down.Punishment adds shame and fear—which makes behavior worse, not better.A stressed brain can't learn. The sympathetic nervous system is in survival mode.Regulation must come before correction. Calm brains are the only brains that can take feedback.Behavior is communication. If your child is screaming, throwing things, or shutting down, it's their nervous system saying, “I feel unsafe.”How can I calm my child's brain when they're overwhelmed?Co-regulation begins with your nervous system. You can't expect a child to self-regulate if you're dysregulated too.Anchor yourself first: use deep breaths, a soft tone, or grounding mantras.Offer presence over words. Sometimes just eye contact, gentle rhythm, or physical closeness (like deep pressure hugs) communicates safety.Avoid escalating threats. Instead of, “You're losing your tablet all week,” try, “I see you're overwhelmed. Let's breathe together.”Use environmental signals. Soft voice, calm body language, and steady breathing send cues of safety to your child's nervous system.Co-regulating teaches children over time that they can move from dysregulation to calm with supportive relationships.Want a calmer home in just one week? Try Quick Calm—your 7-day reset designed to help busy parents raise a more regulated child.What does nervous system co-regulation look like in real life?Parents often ask, “But what do I do when the meltdown starts?” Here's what it looks like in daily life:Less talking, more being. Put down the lecture until your child reaches a regulated state.Mirror calm. Your facial expressions and body language send powerful signals through mirror neurons.Stay nearby. Instead of sending your child away (“Go calm down in your room”), model calm by staying present.Shift from red to yellow to green. Once they move out of the red zone of survival mode, you can use words to guide them back to balance.These small but profound effects build emotional connection and nurturing relationships—the foundation for healthy child development.You don't have to figure this out alone.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit: How to Stay Calm When Your Child Pushes Your Buttons and Stop Oppositional Behaviors.Head to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and start your calm parenting journey today.How can co-regulation help me as a...

In this episode, Junior shares a revealing real-life experience from his time working at an ethnic radio station — where the work environment reminded him of something unexpected: an elementary school playground. Through humor, insight, and storytelling, Junior explains a profound life lesson: if you can master the playground, you can master life.You'd think that success and adulthood would eliminate childish, petty behavior — but as Junior shows, people are still just people. Titles and positions don't always change emotional maturity. The powerful takeaway? Choose the high road.Junior reflects on the challenges he faced, and how he overcame negativity by choosing the positive path — even when it wasn't easy. His story is proof that when you take the high road, it always pays off. In his case, that decision helped him break free, stay focused, and ultimately live his dreams.As Junior always says: “Life is short. Live your dreams.”And sometimes, that means walking away from the drama — and walking toward your destiny.Want to work with Junior?

This week, the girls pour up with the one and only Joey Bada$$ — rapper, actor, visionary, and proof that range is real. From crafting his new album “Lonely at the Top” to staying mindful about his message, Joey talks about making music that moves souls, not just streams. He opens up about healing through love, the power of therapy, and what it means for a Black man to lead with love, especially toward Black women. The girls and Joey get into fatherhood, mentorship, and the art of staying grounded when the world moves faster than your algorithm. Of course, it wouldn’t be Pour Minds without a little tea ☕️ The girls been feelin’ a few of the tracks for the YN’s, and if you made it out the streets, pack it up and stay out! It’s real talk, reflection, and just the right amount of gems, because Pour Minds is your shameless plug for everything the culture’s thinking but doesn’t always say, just know they are going to put you on.

We don't have the power to transform the culture we live in, but we do have the power to be obedient to God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses Satan's responses to God's movements. In the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles, we read about King Hezekiah's obedience to the Lord, which brought about both a renewal of his culture and pushback, hardship, and threats from the enemy. However, as Pastor Allen shows, God is always faithful to intervene when we choose His ways. Like King Hezekiah, we will experience backlash when we live for Jesus—but if we will choose obedience to God in an unrelenting, courageous way, God will do what we can't: transform our culture.
