What if the reason so many of us are struggling right now isn't a lack of success… but a lack of connection to something deeper?Dr. Lisa Miller is a clinical psychologist, professor at Columbia University, and author of The Awakened Brain, and her research challenges something many of us have been taught to overlook: that spirituality isn't optional, and it isn't just religion… it's a core part of how we're wired. Her journey began at 26, on an inpatient psychiatric unit, where she watched the best available treatments fall short for people in their darkest moments. When the unit had no clergy for Yom Kippur, she showed up with her grandmother's prayer book and led a service in the back hall… and watched patients who had been despairing for months sit up, brighten, and begin to heal. That day set her on a 30-year scientific quest.What she found reframes how we think about mental health. Buried in the back of large national data sets was a single question: how personally important is spirituality or religion to you? When Dr. Miller ran the numbers, a strong personal spirituality, with or without religion, turned out to be 80% protective against addiction and 82% protective against completed suicide — more protective against the diseases of despair than anything else known to the clinical sciences. Twin studies show this capacity is one-third innate and two-thirds environmentally formed, which means every one of us is born with it, and every one of us can strengthen it. Her MRI research, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that a sustained spiritual life builds cortical thickness across the regions of the awakened brain, protecting against the recurrence of depression.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Lisa walks through the difference between achieving awareness and awakened awareness, the three neural circuits behind feeling loved, guided, and never alone, and how parents and leaders can put this science to work. Mike opens up about his own path… the early pull he felt toward a spiritual life, the pendulum swing toward achievement, and the hypocrisy he witnessed as a teenager that nearly cost him his connection to what Lisa calls the flame.In this conversation, we explore:Why spirituality is an inborn capacity, not a beliefThe single research finding that reframes how we think about mental healthThe difference between the achieving brain and the awakened brainThe three neural circuits behind feeling loved, guided, and never aloneWhy a sustained spiritual life physically strengthens the brainHow parents can support a child's natural spiritual awarenessWhy 90% of leaders made the most important decision of their lives through an awakened form of knowingHow to heal from spiritual injury when a bad messenger breaks your trustIf you've ever felt successful on paper but disconnected in your life, this conversation offers a science-backed way back to something deeper.Links & ResourcesThis episode is brought to you in part by our partner, Sunlighten, the company that has pioneered infrared sauna technology.

There are wounds that don't just hurt — they disorient you.The kind you didn't see coming. The kind that doesn't just affect what happened to you, but how you see people, how you trust, and sometimes how you see yourself. And then there's the deeper tension — not just what happened to you, but what's happening in you because of it. The anger. The temptation to shut down. The quiet pull toward resentment.In this episode of Just Nona, I'm answering a heart question from a listener named Christelle, who was blindsided by slander, betrayal, and attempts to blackball her from her profession — and is now trying to figure out how to move forward without letting what they did change who she is.This is the question underneath the question: How do you keep your heart pure before God when people have done you genuinely, deeply wrong?We talk about:Why betrayal is one of the most destabilizing human experiences — and what it actually does to your brainThe two ways your mind tries to protect you after trust is violated — and why both can work against youHow slander attacks more than your position — it attacks your identityThe difference between your reputation and your identity — and why they are not the same thingWhat David's prayer in Psalm 35 and Romans 12:19 reveal about bringing your pain to God instead of carrying it aloneWhat purity of heart actually means — and why it has nothing to do with pretending you weren't hurtAnd how unresolved offense quietly becomes part of who you are if you don't deal with itYou were wronged. That is real. But the goal is not to come out hardened — it is to come out whole.You cannot control what people say. But you can control what takes root.

Lately, it feels like women are carrying more than ever, mentally, emotionally, hormonally, and neurologically.In this week's conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with internal medicine physician and brain health expert, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to talk about what modern life is doing to our brains and why so many people feel overstimulated, foggy, anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.Together, they discuss:Why chronic stress changes on the brainThe impact of ultra-processed foods on mood and cognitionWhy women in midlife are especially vulnerable to burnoutHow nature helps regulate the nervous system in minutesHow inflammation and depression can lead to Alzheimer'sWhy simple habits matter more than most people realizeOne of our favorite parts of this conversation was the reminder that healing doesn't always need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful changes are the ones that bring us back to how humans were designed to live in the first place.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Lichen Air: https://lichenair.com/MORE ON DR.

What happens when you stop trading endless hours for mediocre results and switch to a service that actually gives you your time back?In this student spotlight episode, I'm chatting with Natasha, a mom of two from Los Angeles who spent seven years in the online space doing branding, web design, and, most recently, Pinterest management. She was working hours upon hours for clients paying $775 to $997 a month and couldn't even see clear results from her efforts.Then she joined Conversions for Clients, landed two ad clients within two weeks at $1,000 each, and made her entire investment back before the 45-day mark.The best part? She went from not being able to track her time because she was always working to spending maybe 10 hours a month on her ad clients. Same money, fraction of the time.In this episode, we cover:Why Natasha was so frustrated with Pinterest management (and why organic services can burn you out)How she landed her first two ad clients from her existing client baseThe pricing and contract structure she used to transition clients smoothlyWhat it actually feels like to go from constant work to 10 hours a monthHer 90-day goals for phasing out Pinterest and going all in on adsWhy ads might be the perfect fit if you have both a creative and analytical brainThe unlimited opportunities available when you learn ad managementIf you're a service provider spending way too many hours on organic content and not seeing the results you want for your clients, this episode is your sign that there's a better way.Links Mentioned:Register for an upcoming workshop: brandimowles.com/100KLearn more about Conversions for Clients: conversionsforclients.comDM me on Instagram: instagram.com/brandimowlesFollow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/serve-scale-soar/id1477998650Follow Brandi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandimowlesFollow Brandi on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Brandiandcompany

Most parents have heard that play is how children learn. But in a world full of educational toys (even for babies, preschoolers, and kindergarteners!), enrichment classes, structured activities, and apps designed to make babies smarter, making time for play is harder than it sounds. The pressure to get kids ahead earlier keeps building - and the research that's supposed to reassure us often gets buried under the noise. Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek has spent more than 20 years studying how children learn. She's a psychology professor at Temple University, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and co-author of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards - just updated for the age of smartphones, tablets, and AI.  In this conversation, she makes the case that the characteristics that make play so engaging for kids are the exact same characteristics that produce the deepest learning. And she explains why the push to start earlier and do more may be working directly against what parents say they want for their kids. Questions this episode will answer Did Einstein use flashcards? Of course not!  The point of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards is that you don't need to provide direct instruction to young kids for them to be smart and successful. The skills that lead to real achievement - problem-solving, collaboration, creative thinking - are built through active, hands-on, joyful learning, not memorization drills. What is playful learning? Playful learning is not the same as free play. It combines a clear learning goal with an approach that is active, engaging, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek walks through what this looks like in real classrooms - and in your own kitchen. What is an example of a play-based learning activity? A kindergarten class learning about weather by using droppers and water to measure precipitation, then comparing and averaging their results. Another group acting as a live weather broadcast - a five-year-old using the words "high front" and "precipitation" without ever sitting through a lecture. The episode includes several more examples parents can use at home right now. What's the difference between free play and structured play? Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes a continuum: free play on one end, direct instruction on the other, and guided play in the middle. Each has a role. The problem is that direct instruction currently dominates, even though children learn far less from it than from active, social, and meaningful experiences. How do kindergarteners learn best? Through play-based learning that is active rather than passive, engaging rather than distracting, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. It's not just that play is fun (even though it is); these are the conditions the brain is built to learn in. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains the science and shows what it looks like in practice. Do enrichment classes for preschoolers actually help? The research says starting earlier is not better for kids. Kids who are pushed into structured learning young are not more likely to be strong readers or high performers later. The episode explains what the data actually shows - and what parents can do instead that costs nothing. Why is play important in early childhood learning? Because the characteristics of play - active, engaged, meaningful, social, joyful - are the same conditions under which human brains learn best at any age. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains why stripping play out of early childhood doesn't accelerate learning. It undermines it. What you'll learn in this episode The six characteristics of playful learning and why each one connects to how the brain actually builds knowledgeThe difference between free play, guided play, and direct instruction - and when each one serves kids bestConcrete play-based learning examples from everyday life at home: the kitchen, the laundry room, the backyardWhy the research on high performers shows that early specialization and intensive enrichment rarely produces the outcomes parents are hoping forWhat the arrival of AI means for the skills kids actually need to develop - and why those skills come from play, not flashcardsWhy downtime is not wasted time, and what it does for the developing brainThe questions Jen asked Dr. Hirsh-Pasek at the end of the conversation - about who research serves and what it leaves out - that don't usually get asked in interviews like this one Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's website: https://kathyhirshpasek.com/ Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkathyanddrro Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: https://amzn.to/4dubLe0 (Affiliate link) Want more research-backed tools for the hard parenting moments?

Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes what this looks like in a real kindergarten classroom studying weather. 14:02 How playful learning shows up at home - in the kitchen (measuring, counting, estimating), the laundry room (sorting, classifying, folding), and on a trip to Sydney, where two kids spent two hours drawing the Opera House. 17:06 The gap between what parents say they want (happy kids) and how they're actually spending time and money. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek connects downtime and unstructured exploration to the brain's default mode network - the part that builds creativity. 20:24 Research on people who reached the highest levels of performance in sport and the arts: they didn't specialize early. They meandered and explored. 20:45 Jen asks Dr. Hirsh-Pasek about the relationship between research and culture - how research doesn't just reflect ideas about childhood, it shapes them. 24:11 A look back at Becoming Brilliant and the six C's: Collaborate, Communicate, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Confidence to try, fail, and keep going. Why do these matter more than ever in an AI world? 26:11 Where to find Dr. Hirsh-Pasek and her work. 26:53 Jen's closing thoughts - including a note that some content in the book raised questions she couldn't fully explore in this conversation, and an open invitation to join Parenting Membership.

Can something as simple as coconut oil support brain health in dementia?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher explores an emerging area of research focused on brain energy metabolism and how ketones may play a role in supporting cognitive function in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment.As the brain's ability to use glucose declines in Alzheimer's, researchers have begun investigating whether ketones can help fill that energy gap.In this video, you'll learn:Why the brain may experience an energy deficit in Alzheimer's diseaseHow ketones provide an “alternative” fuel for the brainThe role of coconut oil and MCTs in raising ketone levelsInsights from Dr. Mary Newport's early observations and case reportsResearch from Dr. Stephen Cunnane on brain energy metabolismWhat current studies suggest about ketogenic therapies and cognitive functionCommon concerns about saturated fat and coconut oilDr. Scher also discusses the limitations of the current evidence. While early findings are promising, much of the research is still in its early stages, and more rigorous clinical trials are needed.At the same time, for individuals and families facing cognitive decline, low-risk lifestyle approaches like ketogenic strategies may be worth exploring under medical guidance.

In this episode, Hannah turns the mic on Celest to explore one of the most important shifts happening in modern yoga teaching: moving beyond muscles and into the nervous system.If you've ever felt stuck in your practice, confused by why something isn't improving, or unsure how to evolve your teaching, this conversation opens a completely new lens.Together, they unpack what sequencing really means from a neurological perspective, why traditional “build up to a pose” thinking can fall short, and how simple changes in input can completely transform how a body moves and feels.This is not about adding complexity. It's about understanding what's actually driving movement, safety and progress.In this episode, we explore:Why sequencing is more than arranging poses and what's actually happening in the brainThe role of sensory inputs, including vision, balance and internal awareness, in movement and performance Why strength and flexibility alone don't guarantee progress in poses like Pincha MayurasanaHow the nervous system determines whether a pose feels safe or threateningThe hidden reasons behind plateaus, asymmetries and “stuck” patternsHow past experiences, stress and injury history shape what happens on the matWhy repeating the same drills doesn't always lead to changeThe emotional and psychological layers that influence physical practiceCelest also shares her own journey from a purely biomechanical approach to integrating neuro-based work, including the challenges of learning and teaching this in real time.The conversation closes with a powerful reminder: your body is not failing you. It is responding to the information it receives.About Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more with Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch our extensive library of YouTube videos.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Hannah on Instagram.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Celest on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠

In my kitchen this week I am joined by Anne Sophie Flury who is a neuroscientist to talk all about brain health, how to re-wire your brain, and simple, practical things you can do to stimulate your brain and become your most proactive and productive self.I love talking about brain health, but in this episode we take a slightly different approach. Rather than focusing on supplements or quick fixes to optimise your brain, this conversation is all about the everyday actions and habits that truly make a difference. The small shifts that, over time, can completely transform the way you think, feel, and show up in your life.We dive into why brain health is so important, not just for focus or productivity, but for your overall sense of control and wellbeing. Because when you are in control of your thoughts, you are ultimately in control of your actions… and that shapes your future and your destiny.This episode really hit home for me and honestly shocked me on many fronts. It challenged a lot of the ways I think about productivity and what it actually means to use our brains well in today's world.We discuss topics such as the power of monotasking over multitasking, how constant stimulation (especially from AI and technology) may actually be leaving our brains under-stimulated, and why the lost art of being bored might be exactly what your brain needs to reset, grow, and optimise.This is a conversation that will make you rethink your habits and hopefully inspire you to make small but powerful changes to support your brain health long-term.Topics we discuss:What it means to train your brainMono-tasking over multi-tasking Constant stimulation and how that impacts our brainThe rise in AI and the impact on the brainSleep and the impact on our brainMonks and their practicesHow to re-wire your brainSponsors:Healthy Habits - Try mouth tape today and get 20% off your first purchase with code CATCHUPS20click hereThis episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia's Instagram - click here!Anne Sophie's Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com Hosted on Acast.

Ask Rachel anythingWhen parenting teens through their first experience of love and attraction it can bring up a lot of feelings we thought we'd neatly packed away; the intensity of that first crush, the humiliation of not being chosen, the heartbreak that felt like it would swallow us whole. As a parent trying to support our kids through it can be tricky because our teens' first love stories can collide with our own unfinished ones.In this episode of Teenagers Untangled, I'm joined by professor Lisa Phillips, author of First Love: Guiding Teens Through Relationships and Heartbreak. We explore the complex world of teen behavior surrounding first love and heartbreak. Understanding how our teens express their feelings and the challenges they face can really help us to communicate with them. We talk about:Why parents often feel a spike in distress when their teen starts datingHow crushes, “situationships” and breakups affect the developing teenage brainThe difference between healthy intensity and unhealthy enmeshmentHow to support both boys and girls in talking about their feelings, not just their “results”What it means to parent in a world of social media, online porn, nonchalance and lonelinessHow to show up for LGBTQ+ and questioning teens when their identities don't fit the “straight story”Why consent can't be a tick‑box talk, and how to navigate the grey areas with our kidsWhat healthy support after a breakup actually looks and sounds likeIf your child is anywhere on the spectrum from secret crush to serious relationship, this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface. My hope is that it gives you language, courage and compassion to walk alongside them, rather than dismissing it as “just drama” or trying to shut it all down.Because for our teens, first love isn't practice. It's real, it's formative, and it leaves a lasting imprint. How we respond now can teach them not only how to survive their first heartbreak, but how to love and be loved for the rest of their lives.Previous interview with my own daughter, PhoebeTips from this showContact Lisa Phillips:lisaamyphillips@gmail.comLisa A.

Tori Dahl's passion for scent began when she was a little girl growing up on three acres in the Texas hill country. In the spring, Mountain Laurel would bloom with fragrant purple blossoms. On Saturday mornings she would wake to the sound of her father mowing the lawn and open her window to breathe in the scent of freshly cut grass mixed with Mountain Laurel. Years later, that scent still triggers memories of comfort and home.Smell and emotion are stored in our brains as one memory. This is why fragrance has the powerful ability to influence our mood and well being.With a background in business, design, and home decor, Tori understands the importance of curating beautiful spaces not only through art and furnishings but also through fragrance. In 2019 she began developing a line of home fragrances and perfume. Her collection is built around custom blended signature scents made with carefully selected ingredients. Each fragrance is thoughtfully named to reflect the emotion or feeling it evokes.The signature fragrances Love, Clarity, Refuge, Shine, Serenity, Escape, and Tranquility are available in wax melts, linen and room sprays, reed diffusers, and perfume.With every breath, her hope is to help people reconnect with meaningful memories while creating a beautiful atmosphere within their homes.In this episode, Tori shares the story behind her fragrance brand and the inspiration that came from childhood memories, creativity, and a passion for designing meaningful spaces. She discusses the process of creating signature scents and how fragrance can shape the emotional experience of a home.We are doing our first-ever open call!

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushWhat if the biggest predictor of dementia isn't your genes — but your metabolic health?In this episode, neuroscientist and performance coach Dr. Tommy Wood reveals why blood sugar regulation and blood pressure are more powerful predictors of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline than amyloid plaques or even genetics like ApoE4.For decades, Alzheimer's has been framed as either a genetic lottery or the inevitable buildup of amyloid in the brain. But emerging research shows that metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and vascular health may play a far greater role in determining long-term brain outcomes.Instead of focusing on fear, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint for building cognitive reserve and “cognitive headroom” — the brain's ability to stay resilient, adaptable, and high-performing as you age.You'll learn why crossword puzzles aren't enough, how high-intensity exercise and resistance training stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), why lactate may act like “Miracle-Gro” for your neurons, and how to interpret early warning signs like subjective brain fog.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Alzheimer's isn't just about amyloid plaquesThe powerful link between blood sugar and cognitive declineHow genetics (like ApoE4) increase risk — but don't seal your fateWhat “cognitive headroom” means and how to build itWhy high-intensity exercise may act as Miracle-Gro for the brainThe surprising role of resistance training in brain healthWhat subjective brain fog might be telling youHow menopause affects cognition — and what's reversibleWhy boredom and focus matter more than we thinkThe kinds of skills you should keep practicing as you ageFor women navigating perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Wood explains what cognitive changes are hormonally driven, what's reversible, and how to protect long-term brain health.Whether your goal is preventing Alzheimer's disease, improving focus and processing speed, or becoming a cognitive “superager,” this episode provides evidence-based strategies to help you build a brain that is robust, metabolically healthy, and built to last.Key Highlights: (00:00) – Brain Health & Cognitive Longevity Intro(00:35) – Brain Evolution & Survival Mechanisms(02:53) – Diabetes & Alzheimer's Disease Link(07:31) – Genetic Risk & Dementia Family History(11:32) – Expanding Brain Capacity & Headroom(15:08) – Cognitive Reserve & Brain Resilience(19:55) – Preventing Age-Related Cognitive Decline(23:00) – Exercise Data for Brain Health(26:16) – Best Exercises for Cognitive Function(35:11) – Amyloid Plaques & Alzheimer's Pathology(38:00) – Amyloid-Targeting Drugs & Treatments(40:31) – Subjective Cognitive Decline Measures(45:04) – Testing & Measuring Brain Performance(49:58) – Menopause & Female Brain Health(56:10) – Aging Brain, Wisdom & Intelligence(1:05:00) – Cognitive Processing Speed & Aging(1:07:07) – Benefits of Boredom for the Brain(1:12:17) – Book Recommendations for Mental GrowthConnect with Dr. Tommy WoodWebsite | Substack | InstagramPre-Order The Stimulated Mind for tons of extra perks!Huge thanks to our sponsors, Momentous, Vitality, and LMNT.

Moreland to explore the “last things” of systematic theology—angels, demons, the soul, death, and the doctrine of hell.J.P. begins with a striking personal testimony: multiple independent witnesses describing three angels surrounding him during ministry settings—years apart and unknown to each other. From there, the conversation moves into:Whether demons are fallen angels or the spirits of the NephilimWhy consciousness cannot be reduced to the brainThe immortality of the soul (and what “immortal” actually means)The traditional doctrine of hellAnnihilationism vs. eternal conscious separationWhy conditional immortality is gaining tractionThe relationship between the sanctity of life and eternal punishmentWhether modern reinterpretations are driven by discomfort rather than exegesisKen and J.P. argue that hell is not about divine cruelty but about human dignity, free will, and the seriousness of rejecting an infinite God. They also warn against reshaping theology simply because it makes us more comfortable.The episode closes with a pastoral appeal:“Flee from the wrath to come.”How to Engage with Orbis:- Check out Ken's book,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On the Road with the Holy Spirit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://a.co/d/0OVIIA0- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Partner with Orbis Financially⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give - Orbis Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Download the app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠App - Orbis Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠ Are you interested in learning about Holy Spirit-led ministry?

Your body already knows how to release stress — but you've been taught to suppress it. In this Mind Architect episode, Dr. David Berceli, creator of TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises), reveals how our natural tremor mechanism can help us discharge tension, process trauma, and restore balance.Dr. David Berceli developed TRE while living in war zones, observing how humans naturally contract and release during threat. His method has now spread to over 80 countries. Joining him is Elvira Stanescu, an internationally certified TRE provider who has been practicing for nearly 5 years. Facilitating the conversation is our colleague Adrian Dinu. We explored the following topics in our conversation with David and Elvira: Why children shake naturally during stress — and why adults suppress itHow tremoring communicates between the nervous system and brainThe difference between exhausting yourself through exercise vs. actual releaseHow TRE can help parents, athletes, helping professionals, and couplesCurrent research on TRE and depression from studies in ChinaResources mentioned:Dr. David Berceli's book on TRE (now available in Romanian) David's website Romanian TRE Association TRE Global website Dr. David Berceli's YouTube Channel for research results and tutorialsFive ongoing research projects in China examining brain activity changes with TRE, including studies on depressed teenagers and their parentsYou can join us live during episode recordings and get your questions answered directly by becoming a Mind Architect Premium Member here Episode produced in partnership with Editura Herald."(00:00) Introduction: The body's hidden stress release mechanism""(01:50) Welcome and episode overview""(03:55) How Dr. Berceli discovered TRE in war zones""(06:30) The tremor mechanism in all mammals""(08:35) What happens in the body when we tremor""(12:01) How people experience tremoring in the beginning""(14:07) Tension vs. trauma: Why both matter""(17:09) The risk of overwhelm and how to self-regulate""(20:13) Dos and don'ts: How to start practicing TRE safely""(23:57) TRE vs. exhausting exercise: What's the difference?""(26:32) How the body takes over and releases patterns""(29:14) TRE for athletes and military personnel""(36:41) Cultural adaptations: China, Latin America, Romania""(44:50) TRE for helping professionals: Coaches, therapists, trainers""(50:13) How to integrate mind and body without forcing it""(54:30) TRE for parents and family systems""(01:00:00) The body's ability to heal specific injuries""(01:01:48) Collective trauma and healing in community""(01:11:50) The future: Vibration, sound, and medicine""(01:14:45) Resources and where to learn more"

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly picks up where last week's conversation on the Fresh Start Effect left off and explores what happens in the brain after motivation fades. Using neuroscience and behavior change research, she explains why January 8 is often the point where people assume they have failed, even though this is actually the phase where real change begins.Molly breaks down why most New Year's intentions are abandoned by mid-January and reframes this not as a lack of discipline, but as a misunderstanding of how the brain works. She explains the difference between motivation and follow-through, the role of dopamine, and why the brain naturally resists energy-intensive new behaviors. The episode focuses on how to create conditions that support consistency without relying on willpower.What You'll LearnWhy most New Year's resolutions are abandoned by mid-JanuaryHow the Fresh Start Effect creates motivation but not sustainabilityThe difference between motivation and follow-through in the brainThe role of dopamine in anticipation versus long-term changeWhy habits live in different brain circuits than goalsHow the brain prioritizes energy conservationWhy resistance and friction are expected during behavior changeHow follow-through builds self-trust over timeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect as a motivational sparkDopamine and why motivation naturally fadesPrefrontal cortex as the center of planning and intentionBasal ganglia and its role in habit automationEnergy conservation as a primary function of the lower brainFollow-through as infrastructure, not enthusiasmPractical Principles Shared in the EpisodeReduce decisions to conserve cognitive energyAnchor new behaviors to existing routines through habit stackingShrink behaviors to reduce resistance and threatExpect friction as part of learning, not failureBuild evidence through repetition rather than relying on excitementKey TakeawaysMotivation fading does not mean you are behindFollow-through begins when excitement endsConsistency during low motivation is what rewires the brainSmall steps repeated over time create sustainable changeSelf-trust is built through evidence, not intentionRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Myth of the Fresh Start BrainConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardUnbreakable Habits and the Voice That Keeps Them Alive ★ Support this podcast ★

This is the final episode of the Nursepreneur Academy podcast for 2025, and we are closing the year with a honest behind the scenes debrief.In this episode, Liam shares the five biggest lessons he learned in nursepreneurship this year, how an adult ADHD diagnosis changed everything, and what he is intentionally doing differently in 2026 to build a sustainable, multiple six figure nurse led business.This is not a highlight reel. It is the real, messy, human truth of growing a business, getting sick six times in a year, navigating ADHD burnout, reconnecting with creativity, and learning to build a business that supports your nervous system instead of burning it out.In this episode, Liam talks about:Why 2025 was his highest income year in business, even while being sick more than everHow managing his energy and nervous system created more growth than trying to manage time perfectlyGetting diagnosed with ADHD and finally understanding years of burnout, crashes, and self doubtWhy doubling down on one offer and one ecosystem worked, and where that advice was too rigid for a neurodivergent brainThe tension between focus and novelty, and how he plans to honour both in 2026How having fewer clients but more support (coaches, editors, trainers, teachers) grew his income and joyWhy simple, human content often outperforms polished, overly strategic contentWhat it really takes to build a long term, personal brand based business in a nervous system informed wayHow reconnecting with creativity and play singing, piano, dance, theatre is now a non negotiable business strategyWhy your nervous system capacity and ability to receive support will determine your success more than your niche, funnel, or offerBy the end of this episode, you will feel seen in your own 2025 journey, have language for some of the challenges you may have faced, and walk away with practical lenses to take into 2026 so you can build a business that is profitable, sustainable, and kind to your brain and body.FREE RESOURCES

Singing Facilitator, Fiona Maria, uses singing circles to help people reconnect with their voice... even when they're convinced they can't sing. Fiona leads singing circles that help people release previous voice shame, calm their nervous system, and experience the joy and belonging that come from singing with others.She teaches the songs by ear, so no musical background is needed. There's no sheet music. She never mentions soprano, alto, intervals, chords. For many, it's an unexpected tool that helps them feel more empowered when using their voice, both for singing and in other ways.  This episode explores:Why singing is one of the oldest tools for healing and connectionThe myth of tone-deafness and how most people can sing more accurately than they think  How singing activates 10 areas of the brainThe power of harmonizing with people you've just met and why it brings diverse people togetherFiona has been singing & performing professionally for over 20 years. She was part of a vocal/instrumental Latin duo, Caramba, for many years before she started holding singing Circles and workshops in workplace and community contexts. Contact Info:Fiona Maria - GuestFiona Maria (LinkedIn)Sing High, Sing Low (Instagram)Sing High, Sing Low (website)Julie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn)Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

Most men battling porn addiction think their problem is “lust,” “self-control,” or “not being disciplined enough.” But for millions of men, the real issue is something far deeper—and far more common—than they realize.In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Doug Carpenter, licensed psychologist and author of the groundbreaking book Secret Shame, to uncover the hidden link between male sexual abuse, childhood sexual trauma, shame, and porn addiction.What Doug reveals in this conversation is staggering—and every man needs to hear it.For decades, men have been suffering in silence. Many grew up believing that what happened to them wasn't “real” abuse. Others felt that their body's response meant they “wanted it,” “caused it,” or that something was fundamentally wrong with them. Most never told anyone.But the truth is this:Male sexual trauma is far more common than reported—and its impact on a man's sexuality, masculinity, and identity is enormous.And for many, it becomes the hidden engine powering porn addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, PIED (porn-induced erectile dysfunction), and emotional avoidance in adulthood.In this episode, we unpack how early exposure, sexual imprinting, and shame wire the brain toward addictive behavior—and how men can finally begin to heal through neuroscience-backed practices, spiritual grounding, trauma-informed support, and masculine emotional leadership.This is not a heavy, dark episode. This is a hopeful one—filled with clarity, compassion, truth, and a real recovery roadmap.In This Episode, We Explore:Why one in six men have experienced some form of sexual abuse—and why most don't disclose for 25+ yearsHow childhood sexual trauma, early sexual exposure, and porn imprint the developing brainThe neuroscience behind compulsive sexual behavior and why willpower alone failsThe truth about sexual identity confusion and why it's the #1 side effect of male sexual abuseWhy your body's response during abuse does not define your sexuality, masculinity, or identityHow shame becomes the fuel source for porn addictionThe survivor's journey from victim → survivor → thriverHow to start healing sexual shame and rebuilding healthy masculinityWhy trauma-informed therapy and brotherhood are essential for overcoming pornWhat real recovery looks like when men stop fighting themselves and start understanding themselvesExplore more of Doug's work at HusbandMaterial.com.Want to dive deeper into his insights?

1. Inspiration Beyond the BrainThe book challenges the materialist view that creativity is a left-brain, analytical function. Instead, it presents music as a right-brain, paranormal process. Many iconic songs are received through instantaneous “downloads” or vivid dreams. Keith Richards famously dreamt the riff for “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,” even recording his snoring afterward. These dream-sourced compositions often arrive fully formed, with clarity unlike typical dream content.2. Musicians as ChannelsMany legendary artists describe themselves as vessels rather than creators. John Lennon said he was “just the channel” for the “music of the spheres.” Michael Jackson believed his best songs were “works of God” that dropped into his lap. Notably, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix couldn't read or write music—suggesting that genius may bypass formal training and arise from external sources.3. A Historical PatternThis phenomenon isn't limited to rock and pop. Classical composers also reported receiving music from beyond. Mozart described his compositions as arriving “almost complete” in dreams. Brahms spoke of entering a trance-like state where ideas flowed “directly from God.” Such accounts suggest a long-standing tradition of non-local inspiration.4. UFOs and MusiciansThe book documents a striking number of UFO encounters among musicians. If cataloged, the list would include hundreds of high-profile names. John Lennon had a daylight sighting in 1974; Mick Jagger saw a UFO over the crowd at the 1969 Altamont concert. 5. Alien OriginsSome musicians believe they are extraterrestrial in origin. John Denver referenced the constellation Lyra as his home. Elvis Presley claimed he came from Orion, saying, “I am not of this world.” Lee Scratch Perry declared, “I am an alien from outer space… from Krypton.” Kurt Cobain expressed a lifelong feeling of being “homesick,” imagining himself as an alien baby found in a spaceship.6. Messages of Oneness and LoveThe themes expressed in music often mirror those reported by UFO experiencers. The central message is Oneness—the idea that all existence is interconnected. Lennon's lyric “I am he as you are he as you are me…” reflects this unity. His slogan “Love is the Answer. What was the Question?” and the anthem “All You Need is Love” serve as spiritual propaganda for this shift from fear to love.7. Environmental and Nuclear WarningsA recurring theme is planetary survival. Musicians often channel messages warning of ecological collapse and nuclear danger. Neil Young's “After the Gold Rush” describes “silver spaceships” rescuing the chosen ones.8. Targeting YouthMusicians are seen as strategic messengers to reach younger generations—the “ultimate swing voters.” Youth are more open to ideas that transcend traditional structures like religion and politics. Carlos Santana reported that the entity Metatron told him he'd be tuned into a “radio airwave frequency” to deliver a “new menu” of existence, helping students realize they are “multi-dimensional spirits.”9. Dreams and Altered StatesSongs often arrive during altered states—dreams, meditation, or automatic writing. Sting received “Every Breath You Take” in 15 minutes through automatic writing. Billy Joel dreamt many of his songs fully formed. Music heard during near-death experiences is described as “floating,” ethereal, and profoundly beautiful—often called the “music of the spheres.”10. Music and Quantum ConsciousnessThe book concludes by challenging the materialist worldview. It suggests that the universe operates through a quantum reality where consciousness is primary. Musicians report accessing a non-local field of awareness, consistent with quantum experiments showing that consciousness precedes matter. In this view, the brain doesn't create consciousness—consciousness creates the brain. Music becomes a delivery system for awakening, love, and planetary stewardship.

Bonus Episode 9: Gratitude — The Underrated Power MoveShow Notes:Most people roll their eyes at gratitude like it's a Pinterest quote in disguise. But here's the thing — the science says otherwise. Gratitude isn't fluff. It's a mental reset button that actually changes how your brain works.In this 11-minute episode, Michelle breaks down what really happens when you start practising gratitude — minus the sugar-coated affirmations. From rewiring your brain for resilience to improving mood and lowering stress, this episode explores how gratitude helps you stop chasing “more” and start seeing what's already good.Michelle also shares her own experience with burnout, how gratitude helped her rebuild perspective, and why “having it all” isn't about achieving more — it's about realising you already do.

If you've ever struggled with IBS, you know it's about more than digestion. It's the discomfort, unpredictability, anxiety, and sometimes even shame that come along with it. And while food lists and symptom trackers may help a little, they rarely get to the root of the problem.In this episode of Building Resilience, Leah explores IBS from a nervous system perspective. She unpacks the fascinating connection between the gut and the brain, why stress makes symptoms worse, and how your body's protective “alarm system” may be keeping you stuck in flare cycles.We'll explore:Why IBS is a functional disorder (your gut looks fine, but it's not working as it should)How the “second brain” in your gut constantly communicates with your actual brainThe role stress plays in digestion, inflammation, and the microbiomeThe protection loop that keeps symptoms alive long after the threat has passedPractical ways to expand your safety zone and support your nervous system in healingNew Resource : IBS Nervous System ResetNEW: My Safe Space: Affirmation and Journal Prompt Set

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the growing field of environmental neuroscience and what new research is uncovering about microplastics and brain health. Microplastics are everywhere—from oceans and soil to food and even the air we breathe. While they have long been recognized as an environmental issue, scientists are now finding evidence that they may also influence how the brain functions and ages.Molly explains how microplastics can interact with the brain through inflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling. She shares a striking new study linking microplastic exposure in genetically vulnerable mice to Alzheimer's-like changes, and she unpacks what this might mean for humans. Alongside the science, Molly offers practical strategies to reduce exposure and emphasizes that protecting your brain is about progress, not perfection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat microplastics are and how they enter our bodiesWhy researchers are concerned about their effects on the brainThe role of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling in everyday symptoms like brain fog and mood changesHow environmental exposures may interact with genetic risk factors for dementiaSeven practical steps you can take to reduce microplastic exposure in daily lifeKey Quote“Protecting your brain is never about one big thing. It is about many small things working together. Alcohol, sleep, stress, nutrition, and yes, even the environment, are all parts of the same ecosystem.”Resources and ReferencesWashington Post (Sept 2025): Study links microplastics to Alzheimer's-like symptoms in miceWorld Health Organization reports on microplastic exposureResearch on APOE4 and microplastic interactions in mouse modelsPrevious Think Thursday episodes: World Brain Day—5 Habits to Keep Your Brain SHARP, Chronic Stress and Your Memory ★ Support this podcast ★
