Our capacity to sit with uncomfortable physical sensations determines how big our world can be. When we stop running from discomfort, we stop letting old trauma triggers make our decisions for us. In this episode, host Peter Fenger sits down with Celia Bray, an Australian psychologist, founder of Somatic Psychology Australia, and author of “Inscribed: Your Body's Hidden Script”. With over 25 years of global experience supporting individuals and communities, Celia's work is rooted in a profound truth: true healing and wisdom come from listening to the body, not just the mind. After a critical health crisis forced her to re-evaluate her own hyper-logical approach to life, Celia dedicated her career to somatic therapy and experiential practices. Today, she helps people move past the limitations of traditional talk therapy to reconnect with their physical selves.

Is your belly full? Have you had water today? Can you take a slow breath and fully exhale? What if you're okay? In this episode, Dr. Bray breaks down a simple but powerful reset: 10 questions that help you regain clarity when you feel stressed, stuck, or overwhelmed. Most people try to think their way out of stress. That's the problem. From a neuroscience perspective, stress is not just a thinking issue. It's a state issue. When your brain perceives threat, the part responsible for clear thinking and decision making becomes less active. You push harder, think more, and get more stuck. These questions interrupt that pattern. They shift you out of overload and back into a state where you can think clearly, regulate your emotions, and take effective action. In this episode, Dr. Bray walks through: Why your brain defaults to stress and overthinking How simple physical inputs like breath, posture, and movement reset your nervous system How awareness and identity bring your thinking brain back online Why the question "What if I am okay?" is more powerful than it sounds This is not about doing more. It's about getting your brain back online. If you're feeling overwhelmed, start here. Quotes by Dr. Bray "When your state changes, your thinking changes." "The fastest way forward is not doing more. It's getting yourself back to a place where you can think clearly again." "Your brain is constantly asking one question — am I safe? Am I under threat? And it answers that question largely based on signals from your body."

Ahead of what many are calling the perfect final chapter in an extraordinary career, Alan Morrissey spoke with Katie Taylor and her promoter, Brian Peters about the upcoming Croke Park bout with Flora Pili, and her incredible career.

You think it all the time. You just don't say it. In this episode, Dr. Bray breaks down one of the simplest and most overlooked behaviors that drives performance, trust, and connection: telling people what they are doing well. It sounds basic. It isn't. Most people assume others know what they are doing right. They don't. And even if they do, they are not hearing it in a way that helps them repeat it. There is a reason for that. Your brain is wired to scan for risk, not connection. Even a simple moment of recognition gets filtered through hesitation. Will this be awkward? Will it be misunderstood? Add in a busy environment, and those moments get lost. But when you say it, everything changes. You reinforce behavior. You shift attention. You rewire how you and others think about performance. This is not about being nice. It is about being intentional. In this episode, Dr. Bray unpacks: Why your brain holds you back from recognizing others How expressing appreciation strengthens performance and decision making The hidden impact this has on your own focus, stress, and mindset A simple way to build this into your daily routine The gap between what you think and what you say is where performance is either built or lost. Close the gap. Tell them. Quotes by Dr. Bray "If you think something positive about someone, always tell them." "What feels small to you can be significant to someone else." "The world is lacking in positive thoughts, positive intentions, positive comments — and it is even more lacking in expressed ones."

Each year, 52 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the ocean, contributing to an estimated 24 trillion microplastic particles, which have a devastating impact on the marine environment.They do not fully biodegrade, lingering indefinitely while causing deadly wildlife entanglement, toxic ingestion, and habitat destruction. Plastics also release harmful chemicals into the water, introducing dangerous pollutants into the global food chain. They are now known to affect more than 4,000 marine species. Dr Ian Butler, a scientist at the University of Queensland and an editor of the latest World Ocean Assessment, spoke to UN News about the ecological impacts of ocean plastics, the limits of biodegradable alternatives, and why many scientists argue that the world must reduce plastic production rather than rely only on recycling and waste management.UN News's Edouard de Bray asked Dr Butler about some of the most significant yet overlooked ecological impacts on organisms of plastics.
In this episode, Dr. Bray explores one of the biggest shifts happening in hiring right now: the rise of the job audition. For many roles, the interview is no longer a one-hour conversation and a polished résumé. Companies are inviting candidates to spend several days with the team, solve real problems, join meetings, and prove how they think and work in real time. Dr. Bray breaks down why employers are moving away from traditional interviews, what AI has to do with it, and why companies now want evidence instead of promises. You will also learn why this trend may be intimidating, but could actually be a huge advantage for the right candidate. Job auditions reward adaptability, problem-solving, communication, and how it truly feels to work with you every day. Dr. Bray also shares how candidates can use these experiences to evaluate culture, leadership, and fit before accepting an offer. If you want to understand the future of hiring and how to win in it, this is an episode you do not want to miss. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Employers aren't just evaluating competence—they're observing judgment, communication, and how you show up under pressure." "The safest hire is no longer the person who knows the most today—it's the one who can learn the fastest tomorrow." "Be someone others would choose to work beside during a stressful deadline." "You can't guess performance anymore—you have to observe it."
NEC SocietyTN NEC Day and Month RecognitionKey TakeawaysParents should actively embrace their role in the NICU care team by learning about medical equipment, medications, and their baby's cues, as this engagement transforms the experience from passive observation to active advocacy and parenthood.Healthcare providers should intentionally invite parents into caregiving tasks—changing diapers, learning procedures, receiving updates—to reduce intimidation and help families feel like parents rather than bystanders during neonatal care.Small acts of kindness from medical staff—personalized notes, thoughtful gestures, reassurance—significantly impact family experiences during crisis and can create lasting positive memories even in the context of tragic outcomes.NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) remains a poorly understood complication among the general public and many parents; awareness, education, and advocacy are critical tools for prevention, early detection, and support for affected families.Grief can be transformed into meaningful advocacy and legacy work; turning personal tragedy into systemic change honors the brief life of a lost child and prevents future families from experiencing the same confusion and loss.Quotable Moments"I just didn't know. But you don't know until you know that not every pregnancy ends the way that you hope.""He's alive, he's alive, he's in the NICU and he's doing okay.""I think getting to hold him the first time was when you really feel like a parent.""Embrace the intimidation as quickly as you possibly can. Embrace the NICU life as quickly and possibly as you can. Because we're still a parent. It's just a non-traditional way of parenthood starting.""I never wanted another family to feel as confused as we did when we heard how he died and we didn't know what it was.""It brought so much joy to know that my son's life had an impact on a state."Show Notes by Barevalue.No content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

In this episode, Dr. Bray explores one of the smartest modern skills you can develop: selective ignorance. In a world flooded with alerts, headlines, opinions, and endless distractions, the real challenge is no longer access to information. It is learning what deserves your attention and what does not. Dr. Bray breaks down why so many people feel mentally exhausted, busy all day, and still struggle to focus on what matters most. You will also learn the neuroscience of attention as a limited biological resource, how constant input drains mental energy, and practical tools you can use immediately to reclaim clarity and focus. If you want sharper thinking, less stress, and more control over your mind in a noisy world, this is an episode you will not want to miss. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Selective ignorance is not about being uninformed—it's about deciding what doesn't deserve access to your brain." "Where you put your attention determines the direction of your life." "Not everything deserves your attention, even if it demands it." "You would never hand out $100 to strangers—but you give your attention away to everything."
In this episode, Linda Monahan ADHD coach, business mentor, Taurus queen and lover of a good routine dives into the hilarious, relatable and downright ridiculous quirks that come with ADHD. From birthday boundaries to laundry systems, from “my chair” energy to needing every detail of a plan, this episode explores how ADHD shows up in everyday life… and how those quirks impact business, relationships and emotional wellbeing. This is a warm, honest, laugh‑out‑loud episode that helps ADHD women and creative entrepreneurs feel seen, validated and a little less alone. Key Takeaways (ADHD • Life • Business) 1. ADHD people overdeliver for others and underdeliver for themselves. You say it plainly: ADHDers are phenomenal workers for clients but often neglect their own admin, marketing and systems. “They go above and beyond for other people. It's themselves they neglect.” 2. Birthday boundaries are real and they matter. You're not making people feel better for forgetting your birthday. ADHDers often remember everything for others, so the lack of reciprocity hits differently. 3. The “special chair” phenomenon is universal. ADHD brains love familiarity, predictability and sensory safety even if it looks ridiculous from the outside. “Do you have a chair in the house that you sit in? I do… and I don't feel right if I'm not sitting in that chair.” 4. Walking on the ‘right side' is not optional. This is sensory regulation, not stubbornness. When the environment feels wrong, the body feels wrong. 5. Routines aren't boring, they're survival - well they are a bit boring! Your laundry system is a decade-long masterpiece of gamification, habit stacking and ADHD-friendly structure. “Do not f*** with my process because there is going to be trouble.” 6. ADHD brains need details early and often. Loose plans = anxiety. Clear plans = safety. “Who do you think you're talking to? I need to know all the details now.” 7. Recording on the ‘wrong day' feels physically off. ADHD time‑anchoring is real, routines create stability. 8. Judging people for not liking coffee or Heat is a personality trait. And honestly? It's hilarious. 9. The dopamine death when someone tells you to do something you were already going to do. This is peak ADHD. “You've ruined it. You f***ed all the dopamine. It's gone.” 10. ADHD quirks aren't flaws, they're patterns. And when you understand them, you can build a business that works with your brain, not against it.
Today we're exploring what it means to reconnect with our bodies and how that can transform not just our emotional health, but our parenting and relationships as well, with Celia Bray, a psychologist, somatic therapist, and the award-winning author of Inscribed: Your Body's Hidden Script. In our conversation, Celia shares her own journey from disconnection to what she calls somatic mastery, and why learning to tune into our body's signals can be such a powerful guide for decision-making and regulation. We talk about simple, accessible practices parents can begin using right away, and how developing this awareness can shift how we show up—for ourselves and for our kids—with more presence, clarity, and ease. About Celia Bray Celia Bray is a psychologist, somatic therapist, and award-winning author of Inscribed – Your Body's Hidden Script. With over 20 years' experience, she has lived and worked internationally across Australia, India, Kenya, and beyond, blending psychology with embodied healing practices.

In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the rapid rise of Bossware, the workplace surveillance software tracking clicks, keystrokes, idle time, screen activity, webcam presence, and productivity scores. What began as a tool for accountability and security is quickly becoming a defining issue in modern work culture. Dr. Bray breaks down why companies are using these systems, what leaders hope to gain, and why measuring activity is often very different from measuring real value. You will also learn the deeper neuroscience behind what happens when employees feel constantly watched. Surveillance can shift attention from meaningful work to self-protection, lower trust, reduce creativity, and quietly erode engagement. Dr. Bray explains the hidden cost of bossware, the ethical questions every organization should be asking, and why the future of performance will belong to companies that build trust, not just track behavior. Quotes by Dr. Bray "What can be measured is not always what matters most." "Deep thinking creates enormous value—even when it leaves no digital trace." "Employees want accountability with clarity and respect—not control without context." "Technology can measure behavior—but only leadership can build trust."

In this special episode of the REIT Report, Bridget Bray, director of partnerships at Power TakeOff, joins Nareit's Jessica Long, senior vice president of environmental stewardship and sustainability, to discuss how the company delivers utility-funded Virtual Commissioning (VCx) programs across the United States. She shares how the firm works with commercial real estate owners to improve net operating income and increase asset value by identifying and rectifying energy waste through analysis of utility smart meter data. She explains how Virtual Commissioning is distinct from traditional retro-commissioning programs—it requires no on-site visits, no hardware installation, and no contracts with building owners. The service is free for building owners and is funded directly by utility partners.Power TakeOff partners with nearly 30 utilities across the country to deliver utility-funded Virtual Commissioning (see map for details). Bray shares details on how Power TakeOff's team of experienced energy advisors analyzes smart meter data remotely to identify abnormalities in energy usage patterns and, through virtual consultations with property managers, facilities managers, or on-site engineers, provides personalized recommendations to optimize existing building systems and controls.
In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the quiet workplace shift happening inside many companies right now. Paid time off is being reduced, parental leave is shrinking, flexibility is tightening, and performance expectations are rising. These may look like small policy changes, but together they reveal a major shift in how organizations view people, power, and productivity. You will learn why this is happening now, the hidden brain science behind how employees respond when support is taken away, and why some companies may be creating long-term performance problems while chasing short-term savings. If you want to understand where work culture is headed next, this is an episode you do not want to miss. This podcast was inspired by a Business Insider article written by Sarah E. Needleman. "PTO, parental leave, pensions: Even the most prized benefits are on the chopping block." Quotes by Dr. Bray "Benefits were never just perks—they were signals of partnership." "One of the most powerful forces in motivation is perceived fairness." "Continuous output without recovery degrades judgment, patience, and decision-making." "People don't give their best because they're paid—they give their best when they feel safe, valued, and fairly treated."

You interact with people every day and feel like you understand them. Their tone, their behavior, their reactions. But what if you're only seeing a small fraction of who they really are? In this episode, Dr. Bray challenges a powerful assumption we all make and reveals why your brain is constantly filling in gaps with stories that feel true, but are often incomplete. What if the way you see people is limiting not only them, but your relationships, your leadership, and your ability to truly connect? Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and deeply human insight, this episode uncovers why we misread others, how quickly we turn moments into identities, and what it actually takes to see people more clearly. You'll walk away with a simple but transformative shift that can change how you lead, communicate, and connect in every interaction. Because the question is not whether you're missing part of someone's story. The question is… what will you do when you realize you are? Quotes by Dr. Bray "You are making a decision about a person based on a fraction of who they are." "The story we tell ourselves says more about our own fears than it does about the other person." "Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is not fix someone, but simply see them."
Josh is joined by Shannon Bray, a Libertarian candidate for Senate in North Carolina and author of Liberty Unleashed, for a wide-ranging conversation about taxes, Social Security, education, war, and why so many voters feel politically homeless. Shannon explains how he went from government work and frustration with both major parties to running for office as a Libertarian. The conversation digs into: Why a consumption tax gives people more control than hidden taxes Why Social Security feels like a broken contract How schools fail to teach basic financial literacy Why Shannon's military background changed the way he thinks about war They also talk about the two-party illusion, independents walking away from Republicans and Democrats, and how libertarians can start conversations without watering down the message.

There are moments in your life that quietly change everything. Not because you planned them or earned them, but because someone stepped in at just the right time. A door opened. A chance was given. You "caught a break." In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the hidden role those moments play in shaping our lives, and why some of the most important turning points are not the result of effort alone, but of people who chose to believe in us when we were not quite ready. Through powerful stories and real-life experiences, including a leader who built a 50-year career from one unexpected opportunity and a man who helped save hundreds of children simply by choosing to act, this episode challenges how you think about success, gratitude, and responsibility. More importantly, it asks a question that may stay with you long after you listen: who gave you a break, and who needs one from you right now? https://turnanewleaf.org/ Quotes by Dr. Bray "A break is often just someone deciding to care and to step in at the right moment." "You are not where you are only because of what you have done. You are also here because of individuals who helped you along the way." "Sometimes someone else's small decision can become someone else's turning point."

Last week, Dr. Bray explored the cost of hurry and what moving too fast does to your brain, your thinking, and your ability to lead and connect. This week, he goes deeper into the question that naturally follows: if we know we are moving too fast, why is it so hard to slow down? In this episode, Dr. Bray introduces the concepts of time poverty and time sickness, the hidden psychological forces that leave so many high performers feeling behind, even when they are doing more than ever. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and real-life experiences, Dr. Bray unpacks how the brain begins to interpret time as scarce, why urgency becomes a default state, and how constant motion prevents us from ever feeling caught up. More importantly, he shares a new way to think about time, not as something to manage, but as something to experience differently, along with simple shifts that can help you regain clarity, presence, and a sense of control in a world that never slows down. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Time poverty is not just about how much time you have. It is about how your brain is interpreting time." "The experience of time is not just measured in minutes. It is shaped by where your mind is." "What you want is a sense of progress instead of constant continuation." "You can change your life by training your brain and changing your perception of time."
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 16, 2026 is: brazen BRAY-zun adjective Brazen describes someone who is acting, or something that is done, in a very open and shocking way without shame or embarrassment. // The opposition party's campaign has not been shy in assailing the brazen corruption of the incumbent for funneling public funds into private coffers. See the entry > Examples: “There are no coyotes on Block Island. However, they have a presence in all of Rhode Island's other communities. ... This all makes sense, because Rhode Island, for the most part, is a heavily wooded area. Furthermore, rabbits, berries, mice and voles are in plentiful supply; add to this a burgeoning population, eventually food may become an issue. This is where the clever coyote is perhaps becoming more brazen and bold while hunting for food in certain neighborhoods.” — J. V. Houlihan, The Block Island (Rhode Island) Times, 30 Jan. 2026 Did you know? The oldest meaning of brazen, which traces back to the Old English word for “brass,” bræs, is a literal one: “made of brass” (you might on occasion encounter “brazen cups” or “brazen doors” in something you're reading). Over the centuries, brazen picked up a number of figurative senses stemming from the physical properties of brass, from its strength to its sound to its color, as when poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote of “The glory that the wood receives, / At sunset, in its brazen leaves.” But it's the hardness of brass that led eventually to the now common “shameless” meaning of brazen. Consider this passage written by the minister Thomas Doolittle in the late 1600s: “... though thinkest it no shame, or if thou dost, thou has a face of brass ... and blushest not ...” A face of brass, or a “brazen face” (a phrase recorded in writing as early as the late 1500s) is one that is more or less immobile, betraying no sign of shame of wrongdoing. Today, brazen is used not just for people who are openly shameless or disrespectful, but for openly shameless or disrespectful behavior, as in “a brazen disregard for the rules.”
The Hidden Cost of Hurry: Why Slowing Down Is the Ultimate Performance Advantage We live in a world that rewards speed, responsiveness, and constant motion. But what if the very pace that makes us feel productive is actually working against how our brain is designed to function at its best? In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the hidden cost of hurry through both a human and neuroscience lens, and why so many high performers feel busy yet disconnected, productive yet not at their best. Drawing on insights from John Ortberg and John Mark Comer, along with research on attention, stress, and cognitive performance, this conversation unpacks what hurry does to your brain and why slowing down is not a luxury but a strategic advantage. You will walk away with a new perspective on performance, along with practical ways to regain clarity, presence, and control in a world that never seems to slow down. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Hurry is not just a schedule problem. It is a deeper issue that affects how we live, lead, and relate to other people." "The faster you move without intention, the more likely you are to drift away from what actually matters." "When you never slow down, you lose more than clarity—you lose connection." "Slowing down, even in small ways, is not falling behind. It is how you stay effective in an environment that is constantly speeding up."
