Your true self is the authentic, pure essence of who you were before the world taught you to become someone else. Today, I'm talking about what the true self really is and how we can begin reconnecting with it. When we are born, we come in with our true essence. But as we grow up, we begin adapting, changing, and creating a false self so we can feel loved, accepted, safe, and like we belong. Over time, this false self can cover up the truth of who we really are. We may lose touch with what we feel, what we need, what nourishes us, and what helps us feel connected to ourselves. But the good news is that anyone can begin to rediscover and live from their true self. In this episode, I'm sharing five simple ways to reconnect with your true self: getting in touch with your emotions, tuning into your needs, practicing self-care, using breathwork, and journaling. These practices help us slow down, listen inward, and begin claiming the parts of ourselves we may have hidden, forgotten, or pushed away. Key Takeaways The true self is your authentic self, the pure essence of who you were born as The false self develops as we adapt to feel safe, loved, accepted, and like we belong Many of us disconnect from our emotions because we were never taught how to feel them Reconnecting with your emotions helps you access deeper parts of yourself Your needs are different from your wants, and learning to identify them is essential Asking for what you need is part of living from your true self Self-care is not selfish. It is self-loving Practicing self-care supports self-worth and helps you reconnect with who you really are Breathwork can help release stuck emotions and take you deeper into yourself Journaling helps you access your unconscious mind, higher self, and deeper inner wisdom Rediscovering your true self happens through awareness, validation, and small daily practices MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair® Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

 From Grief to Healing: How Breathwork Helps You Release Pain & Find Peace with Brenda MundtWhat do you do when your world changes in an instant—and the life you knew is gone?In this deeply moving and hope-filled episode, I sit down with Brenda Mundt—transformation coach, Grief Recovery Method Specialist, 9D breathwork facilitator, podcaster, and founder of Energized Life Wellness—to explore the journey of grief, healing, and the powerful role of somatic practices like breathwork.Brenda shares her personal story of profound loss after her husband passed away from COVID. What followed was not just grief, but layers of trauma—watching him battle illness, being unable to be by his side for 11 long days, and then finally being allowed to be present at the moment of his passing. In the aftermath, Brenda also faced major life changes, including selling her home and rebuilding life on her own.But even in the darkest moments, there were tender mercies.Brenda shares how she discovered the Grief Recovery Method—a turning point that not only helped her heal but inspired her to become certified so she could guide others through their own grief journeys.She also introduces us to the powerful world of 9D breathwork, a form of active breathwork that works on a somatic level to help release trapped emotions, process grief, and even address generational trauma.We talk about why grief isn't something to “get over,” but something to move through—and how tools like breathwork can help you feel lighter, clearer, and more at peace.Some experiences are difficult to explain… and breathwork is one of them. As Brenda shares, it's something you truly have to experience for yourself.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why grief is more than just emotional—it's also physical and stored in the bodyThe hidden layers of trauma that can accompany lossWhat the Grief Recovery Method is and how it helps people healHow active breathwork (9D breathwork) works as a somatic healing toolThe connection between breath, emotional release, and mental clarityHow breathwork can help release deeply held and even generational traumaWhy experiencing breathwork is the key to understanding its powerAbout Brenda Mundt:Brenda Mundt is a transformation coach, Grief Recovery Method Specialist, 9D breathwork facilitator, podcaster, and the owner of Energized Life Wellness. After experiencing profound personal loss, she has dedicated her life to helping others navigate grief and rediscover peace, clarity, and purpose.

What happens when something is so vast, beautiful or mysterious that the mind has to widen in order to take it in?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the science and neurodivergent nuance of awe - the emotion that can arrive through nature, music, art, human kindness, big ideas, collective experience and the smallest details of ordinary life.Inspired by Dr Dacher Keltner's conversation with Dr Andrew Huberman, Ashley looks at how awe can shift our sense of scale, loosen the grip of habitual thinking and place our current problems inside a much wider landscape.She also explores how sensory sensitivity can make awe feel especially vivid for neurodivergent people - while also meaning that the doorway into awe needs to feel safe.Ashley shares a remarkable experience from her recovery after surgery, when waves of frisson - tingling, goosebumps and a heightened sense of being moved - began arriving several times a day during a noticeable period of healing.The episode closes with An Imaginal Awe Walk, beginning with a single leaf and gradually widening to the tree, the landscape, the Earth and the universe beyond it.Because awe does not always require a mountaintop.Sometimes it begins with something we might otherwise have walked straight past.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching Ashley Dupuy.Ashley is also developing her From Mask to Map group coaching cohort beginning in September.

What if confidence wasn't about becoming someone else, but finally allowing yourself to be who you've always been?In this honest and often hilarious conversation, Sarah Grynberg welcomes back beloved broadcaster, comedian and bestselling author Christian O'Connell to explore his new book, The Radical Act of Being Yourself. Together they unpack why so many of us silence ourselves, perform versions of who we think we should be, and lose confidence in the moments that matter most.Drawing on more than 30 years behind the microphone, Christian reveals why real confidence has almost nothing to do with saying the perfect thing, and everything to do with self-worth, vulnerability and connection. He opens up about anxiety and panic attacks, the practices that changed his relationship with fear, storytelling, grief, comedy and why laughter is one of the most powerful ways we connect.If you have ever second-guessed yourself, worried what others think, or felt like you're living by someone else's script, this episode is a reminder that everything shifts the moment you stop performing and start being yourself.You'll learn:Why true confidence comes from authenticity, not perfectionHow to quiet your inner critic and self-doubt before high-pressure momentsPractical tools to manage anxiety, panic attacks and nervousnessWhy vulnerability builds deeper relationships and trust than perfection ever couldHow storytelling, humour and honesty create real human connectionWhether you are navigating work, relationships, parenting, a hard conversation or your own self-talk, this is a conversation about confidence, courage and self-acceptance that will stay with you long after it ends.Follow A Life of Greatness for weekly conversations on mindset, confidence, personal growth, psychology and living with purpose.Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 01:43 – Christian O'Connell returns to A Life of Greatness 04:28 – Why he finally wrote The Radical Act of Being Yourself 05:30 – Confidence, communication and self-worth 06:30 – Why authentic conversations change everything 08:03 – The terrifying speech that changed his life 11:18 – How to speak in public when you have no confidence 14:28 – Why memorising your words never works 17:26 – The Toy Story lesson that says everything about life 19:47 – Should you apply for jobs you're not qualified for? 22:40 – The conversations that quietly shape your life 24:14 – How to become more authentic 27:04 – Escaping the persona you built to survive 30:08 – Living with panic attacks before going live on air 34:25 – Why vulnerability is the key to real connection 36:43 – Breathwork, EFT and tools to overcome anxiety 42:38 – Spirituality, David Whyte and finding the sacred 45:37 – Why laughter is one of life's greatest gifts 51:12 – Can humour actually be learned? 54:52 – Finding extraordinary stories in an ordinary life 56:00 – Lessons on comedy from Ricky GervaisPurchase Christian's new book: The Radical Act of Being YourselfPurchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

Breathwork helps. Cold water helps. But if the inflammation is still active, you are calming a system that is still on fire. This is the practical episode. We cover which tools actually have mechanistic support and why, and the part nobody talks about: why the order you do things in determines whether any of it holds. If this series gave you language for something you have been living but could not explain, the next step is to get clear on your specific picture. The Migraine Breakthrough® Assessment is a complimentary call where we look at what is actually driving your inflammation and map out what needs to happen in what order for your body. And no matter what happens on that call, you are walking away with something.  I will make sure you have a resource that speaks directly to your situation so you leave with real answers.

Your Quiet Moment — Episode 201: You Can Welcome Rest Into Your LifeIn today's episode, we're exploring the theme of permission, nurturing, and gentleness. What if rest wasn't something you had to earn — but something you could simply welcome in, like an old friend?Through this episode, we reflect on how rest is often treated as a reward rather than a birthright. We gently challenge the voices that tell us we're not doing enough, and we practice breathing space that reminds us: you are allowed to slow down.Affirmations:• I welcome rest into my life without guilt.• I give myself permission to slow down.• Rest is my birthright, not a reward I must earn.• I am allowed to nurture myself exactly where I am.• I release the need to prove my worth through constant doing.• I create space for gentleness in my own journey.Timestamps:[00:00] Opening[00:30] Settling In[02:30] The Theme — Part 1[05:30] Breathwork[06:30] The Theme — Part 2[08:30] Affirmations — Part 1[09:30] Affirmations — Part 2[10:30] Closing#YourQuietMoment #Rest #SelfCompassion #Gentleness #Mindfulness #Encouragement #DailyPodcast #WellnessDISCLAIMER

Your Quiet Moment — Episode 203: You Are Enough Just As You AreIn this episode, we explore the idea that you are enough exactly as you are — not someday when you figure things out or earn something, but right now.

In this episode, I'm going to say something that might challenge what you've been taught in the healing space: Most nervous system tools don't actually heal you.Breathwork. Tapping. Grounding techniques.They've become the go-to solutions for regulation.But if you're still getting triggered…still repeating the same emotional patterns…still feeling like you have to “manage” yourself…Then something deeper is being missed.The Problem With Most Nervous System ToolsA lot of what's being taught right now focuses on:Calming the bodyRegulating in the momentManaging emotional reactionsAnd while that can feel helpful, it doesn't create lasting change. Because these tools only come in after the trigger is already activated.They don't address:Why the trigger existsWhere the emotional pattern came fromThe belief driving the reactionSo you stay in a loop of: trigger → tool → temporary relief → repeatWhy Other Approaches Keep You StuckThis is why people:Stay in therapy for yearsKeep using the same techniquesStill feel triggered despite “doing the work”Because they're being taught how to cope, not how to resolve.And when something isn't resolved, you have to keep managing it forever.What Actually Works (My Approach)My work is different.Instead of managing the nervous system, I go to the root of what's dysregulating it in the first place.That means:Identifying the original beliefRevisiting the emotional imprintChanging the meaning of the experienceRewiring the pattern at its sourceWhen I change the belief and the emotion attached to it, the trigger disappears.Not managed. Not controlled. Gone.Why This Creates Real, Lasting ChangeWhen you do this deeper work:You don't need tools to calm downYou don't get triggered in the same wayYou stop repeating the same emotional cyclesBecause you've removed the root cause. And when the root is gone, there's nothing left to regulate.A Personal ExampleI share my experience growing up with fear and strict conditioning that shaped my beliefs about men and relationships.Those beliefs followed me into adulthood until I went back and changed them.Not by breathing through the trigger but by transforming the belief that created it.That's when everything shifted.This Work Requires More — But Gives MoreThis isn't a quick fix.It requires:HonestyVulnerabilityWillingness to revisit discomfortBut the result is something most tools can't give you: Freedom from the pattern — not temporary relief from it.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

In part one of this final breathwork conversation, Amy and Michelle go deep — into the body, into the emotions, and into the kind of healing that doesn't have a name until you've experienced it. Michelle shares what happens when breath reaches the places that talk therapy can't, and Amy brings some personal stories that will have you nodding along and maybe reaching for a tissue. There's science here, there's soul here, and there's a quote near the end that might just stop you in your tracks.   Find Michelle Here   Connect with Amy here!   *Click here to learn more about Michelle Gallager and 9D Breathwork   #HealthyAF #HealthyLife #GriefAndHealing #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #GiveYourselfGrace  #MentalWellness #LifeIsUnpredictable

Delighted to have Dr. Michelle Peris, host of the Wild Medicine podcast, naturopathic doctor, speaker and women's empowerment advocate, back for another 2-part conversation! In this episode, we dive into the topic of recovery, something that so many high achievers, entrepreneurs and ambitious women quietly struggle with.After recently completing a comprehensive executive health assessment, one thing that became crystal clear to me was working on my recovery and rest! That realization led Dr. Michelle and I into an honest conversation about burnout, nervous system resilience, and why taking care of ourselves isn't something we earn after working hard. It's an essential part of performing and feeling our best.In this episode, we explore:• Why recovery isn't the opposite of productivity, it's what allows you to sustain it.• The role nervous system resilience plays in stress, performance and overall health.• Dr. Michelle's personal burnout journey and the difficult decisions that ultimately changed her life.• Common signs of burnout that are often overlooked, especially by high performers.• How breathwork, presence and simple daily practices can help you respond to stress instead of constantly reacting to it.One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation was the reminder that we don't earn rest after we've exhausted ourselves. Recovery is part of the process, not a reward at the end of it.I'd love to know what resonated most with you!

What if the reason you can't hear your intuition isn't because it isn't speaking? What if you've simply lost your frame? In this episode, Brenda shares an unexpected lesson from the dance floor that transformed the way she thinks about intuition, energetic sovereignty, and self-trust. Using partner dancing as a powerful metaphor, she explores why staying grounded in your own energy allows you to better recognize intuitive guidance—and why energy work alone isn't enough if you never take action. You'll learn: What "holding your frame" really means Why "spaghetti arms" might be running your life The difference between healthy tension and unhealthy rigidity Why intuition whispers while fear gets loud The missing piece in so much of today's spiritual and coaching advice How taking imperfect action strengthens self-trust Mentioned in this episode ✨ Lion's Gate Portal: Activate Your Abundance https://www.brendawinkle.com/offers/kngHZc4m/checkout ✨ Private Coaching with Brenda Connect at: https://www.brendawinkle.com/coaching Keywords: LionsGatePortal, Your Yes Filled Life, Abundance Mindset, Intuition, Self Trust, Empath, Breathwork, Reiki Healing, Energy Healing, Nervous System Regulation, Conscious Living, Personal Growth, Aligned Action, Trust Yourself, Embodiment, Brenda Winkle, Hold Your Frame

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott reflect on something many neurodivergent people quietly struggle with: birthdays. From opening presents and being sung to, to processing surprises and responding to gifts "the right way," they explore why birthdays can feel surprisingly overwhelming. They also discuss demand avoidance around replying to birthday messages, the pressure of being the centre of attention, childhood birthday memories, and how expectations around gratitude can create anxiety rather than joy. Along the way, they reflect on why experiences often mean more than possessions, the role of special interests in gift giving, and how understanding someone's neurodivergence can completely change the way we celebrate them.A warm, funny, and surprisingly insightful conversation about birthdays, relationships, and the little social expectations that can feel much bigger when you have a neurodivergent brain.Our Sponsors:

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.

What if the problem isn't your body? In this episode, we're talking about why so many women believe happiness is waiting on the other side of weight loss—and why that belief keeps us stuck in the cycle of dieting, perfectionism, and never feeling "good enough." We'll explore how your relationship with yourself influences your health, your habits, and your happiness, and why true wellness begins with self-compassion rather than self-criticism. In this episode: Why changing your body won't automatically change your life. The connection between self-worth and wellness. How perfectionism and people-pleasing keep us stuck. Simple ways to build a healthier relationship with yourself. Remember: You don't need a new body. You deserve a new relationship with the one you already have.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan and Simon explore one of the most challenging conversations in parenting: how do we support neurodivergent children without preventing them from becoming independent adults?Drawing on Jordan's experiences raising two now-successful neurodivergent adults, the conversation examines the importance of boundaries, natural consequences, resilience and preparing children for a world that isn't always accommodating. The discussion also looks at the difference between supporting a child and overprotecting them, why gentle parenting can sometimes miss the mark, and how parents can encourage confidence without removing every challenge.The episode also explores how undiagnosed neurodivergence shaped Jordan's own childhood, how parenting changed after understanding autism and ADHD, the role of synaptic pruning during adolescence, and why accountability, repair and healthy communication remain some of the most important parenting tools.As always, this episode reflects personal lived experience and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion rather than provide one-size-fits-all parenting advice.Our Sponsors:

This episode is different.Coach Alex sits down with San Qing on The Way for a wide-ranging conversation about exercise science, stress adaptation, mitochondria, fasting, performance, belief, martial arts, and what happens when the body is challenged and forced to grow.But this conversation also moves into territory that many Faithful Fitness listeners may not be used to hearing.Daoism.Eastern medicine.Energy language.Breathwork.Alchemy.Spiritual frameworks that do not come from a Christian worldview.That is why this episode needs to be heard with discernment.There are places in this conversation where Coach Alex and San Qing find common ground. Stress matters. Adaptation matters. Belief matters. Movement matters. The body and mind are deeply connected. The human body is fearfully and wonderfully complex.But there are also places where the worldviews are very different.As Christians, we do not listen to conversations like this with fear or arrogance. We listen with wisdom. We test what we hear. We recognize what is true, reject what is false, and bring every thought captive to Christ.Because Jesus is not one spiritual option among many.He is the way, the truth, and the life.In this episode, Coach Alex brings exercise science and Christian stewardship into a conversation outside the walls of the church. He discusses his work with Everyday Spy, the role of adaptive stress, why movement forces belief into action, how mitochondria respond to challenge, why “1% better” matters, and why the body cannot be separated from the life of faith.Listen carefully.Listen prayerfully.And ask yourself:Where have I absorbed spiritual ideas from the culture around me without testing them against Scripture?The body matters.The mind matters.Belief matters.But Christ is Lord over all of it.Timestamps00:00 – Belief, Genetics, and Performance00:35 – San Qing's Bodybuilding Journey and Daoist Framework04:21 – Coach Alex Reframes Fitness Around DNA and Stewardship06:44 – Myostatin, Genetics, and Natural Muscle Growth07:40 – Everyday Spy, Mission Readiness, and Recovery09:13 – Less Is More: Acute Stress vs. Chronic Stress12:06 – Adaptive Stressors and Epigenetic Potential12:54 – Which Cardio Is Best?

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott reflect on something many neurodivergent people quietly struggle with: birthdays. From opening presents and being sung to, to processing surprises and responding to gifts "the right way," they explore why birthdays can feel surprisingly overwhelming. They also discuss demand avoidance around replying to birthday messages, the pressure of being the centre of attention, childhood birthday memories, and how expectations around gratitude can create anxiety rather than joy. Along the way, they reflect on why experiences often mean more than possessions, the role of special interests in gift giving, and how understanding someone's neurodivergence can completely change the way we celebrate them.A warm, funny, and surprisingly insightful conversation about birthdays, relationships, and the little social expectations that can feel much bigger when you have a neurodivergent brain.Our Sponsors:

#436 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with listeners about the importance of mastering "world-class basics" instead of getting lost in external noise, distraction, and fear-based conversations about the future. He explained five foundations of a self-respecting life: creating space, guarding inputs, caring for the body, living by personal values, and staying open to growth. Guy shared how meditation, silence, gratitude, nature, healthy relationships, quality sleep, nutrition, movement, hydration, sunlight, and integrity had helped him align his life with his heart and soul. He also emphasized that people needed to protect what entered their mind, environment, and body because those inputs shaped their choices, nervous system, and overall way of being. By the end, he encouraged listeners to reflect on whether their daily lives truly matched what they said they believed and to stay humble, curious, and open to what life was trying to teach them. ====================  Guy's Official Partners  The DNA Company – Get 10% Off https://thednacompany.com/letitinpodcast  FLFE – 2 Week Free Trial (No Credit Card Required) https://www.flfe.net/rp-affiliates.php?p=LiveInFlow&w=TryFLFEfree ====================  Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - I've Never Been More Protective of My Energy!

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when achievement, control, and constant motion finally break down? In this deeply reflective episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with former professional table tennis player and performance coach Jure Koscak to explore chronic pain, nervous system regulation, emotional maturity, and the hidden cost of living in survival mode.Raised in Slovenia and now living in Punta Cana, Jure shares how years of overtraining, relentless pressure, and internal tension eventually led to severe chronic pain and a complete rethinking of life. Through clinical somatics, breathwork, slowing down, and self-awareness, he discovered a new path centered on presence instead of performance.This conversation dives into subconscious patterns, stress, trauma, healing, relationships, and why many high performers struggle to relax even after reaching success. Jure also explains how modern life disconnects us from our bodies — and why slowing down may be the key to clarity, health, and emotional freedom.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your own head, or constantly chasing the next outcome, this episode will challenge the way you think about success, pressure, and what it means to truly live.

Send us Fan MailYour breath is doing more than keeping you alive. It might be the fastest way back to your body, your truth, and the parts of you that have been running the show from the shadows.We sit down with Dr. Colleen Quinn, transpersonal psychologist and author of Essence Merging, to talk about conscious breathwork as a bridge between psychology and spiritual healing. We unpack the difference between simple breathing and using breath as a doorway into deeper awareness, including why so many “helpful” tools can still feel like band-aids when trauma and unprocessed emotion live in the nervous system. Dr. Quinn shares how breathwork can surface forgotten memories and patterns at a pace you can handle, creating enough safety to finally feel what was once overwhelming and to complete the body's stuck survival responses.We also dig into language and intention as real forces in mind-body health. Dr. Quinn explains why “I am” statements can quietly turn passing states into fixed identities, how hidden intentions shape outcomes like scarcity vs abundance, and why physical symptoms can reflect emotional energy that never got to move. Along the way, she offers grounded practices you can use immediately: returning to the breath, restoring genuine connection through eye contact and consensual touch, giving affirmations more freely, and using the mantra “sat nam” (“I am that which I gaze upon”) as a simple daily anchor for presence.If you're exploring breathwork for trauma healing, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, or spiritual growth, this conversation gives you language, stories, and practical next steps.

What if the difficult person, the repeated pattern, or the weight you keep carrying is not only a burden - but also a teacher?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the phrase “He Ain't Heavy, He's My Buddha” - a playful twist on a familiar phrase that emerged from an ordinary pub conversation and opened up a deeper reflection on love, responsibility, meaning, boundaries and the hidden teachings inside life's challenges..Drawing on the teachings of Ram Dass, the Buddhist story of the Two Monks at the river, nervous-system regulation, neurodivergent masking and the From Mask to Map framework, this episode asks:*Is this mine to carry, mine to support, or mine to witness?*Ashley explores why relationships and responsibilities can feel especially heavy for neurodivergent people - not only because of the person or situation itself, but because of the interpretive work involved: decoding unspoken expectations, monitoring tone and body language, absorbing emotional atmospheres, replaying conversations, masking while caring, and trying to work out what was meant rather than what was said.This episode also looks at how challenges can become information rather than evidence of failure. A meltdown, a trigger, a conflict, a repeated pattern or a moment of overwhelm may reveal a boundary, a sensory need, an old role, a place of exhaustion, or a part of ourselves asking for care.Without spiritualising harm or glorifying suffering, Ashley invites a more nuanced question:Where is the Buddha in this?The episode closes with The Path, the Pack and the Teacher, a guided practice for exploring what you are carrying, what may not be yours, and what wisdom might be ready to travel forward with you.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching Ashley Dupuy.Ashley is also putting together the particulars of her From Mask to Map coaching cohort beginning in September.

Modern life asks less and less of our bodies, while placing ever greater demands on our minds. We move less, sleep poorly and fill every spare moment with stimulation—often without realizing the long-term consequences.Oscar Trelles explores the connections between recovery, resilience and the way we age. His work—through the wellness and performance company Breathing Flame—focuses on helping people better understand the conditions that shape health and long-term wellbeing.In his forthcoming book, The Human OS Manual, he argues that a longer, healthier life depends less on isolated interventions and more on the rhythms and routines that shape our days.So have we lost touch with the conditions that help us thrive—and what would it take to restore them?----DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

What do Digimon, mind reading, voice acting, magic, and AI-proof careers all have in common? Joshua Seth.In this fascinating episode, Anne sits down with award-winning mentalist, keynote speaker, corporate emcee, and legendary voice actor Joshua Seth (https://www.joshuaseth.com/) for a conversation that explores the surprising connection between voice, influence, focus, and the uniquely human skills that technology can't replace. Best known as the voice of Tai in Digimon and the villain Tetsuo in Akira, Joshua shares how a childhood spent listening to old radio shows launched a career that eventually took him from Hollywood voice actor to Magic Olympics champion and creator of the theatrical show Mind Magic Live that is currently selling out everywhere it goes.  (and I've seen it, and it's that good!) But beneath the magic lies a powerful message about connection, communication, and adaptability.In This Episode, We Talk About: Why your voice and presence create emotional connection  How Joshua accidentally discovered his dream career while escaping a broken air conditioner  Breathwork techniques to improve confidence, resonance, and vocal presence  Why human skills like empathy, listening, and influence are becoming more valuable in the age of AI Want more from Joshua?https://www.joshuaseth.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuaseth/Joshua Seth is an award-winning mentalist, keynote speaker, and corporate event emcee.

In part two of this breathwork conversation, Amy and Michelle get personal. Michelle shares how her own seasons of loss and life upheaval led her deeper into breathwork — and how what she found there became something she couldn't keep to herself. Amy opens up about her own journey through divorce and relationship endings, and how lived experience becomes the most powerful thing you can offer someone else. The conversation moves into the world of holotropic and facilitated breathwork — what it looks and feels like in a room full of strangers, what happens when a sleepy muscle wakes back up during a breathwork session, and why breath bypasses the limits of language to reach places talk therapy sometimes can't. Rich, real, and deeply relatable.   More info: Find Michelle Here, General breathwork description, Holotropic Breathing   Connect with Amy here!   *Click here to learn more about Michelle Gallager and 9D Breathwork   #HealthyAF #HealthyLife #GriefAndHealing #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #GiveYourselfGrace  #MentalWellness #LifeIsUnpredictable

What if the difficult person, the repeated pattern, or the weight you keep carrying is not only a burden - but also a teacher?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the phrase “He Ain't Heavy, He's My Buddha” - a playful twist on a familiar phrase that emerged from an ordinary pub conversation and opened up a deeper reflection on love, responsibility, meaning, boundaries and the hidden teachings inside life's challenges..Drawing on the teachings of Ram Dass, the Buddhist story of the Two Monks at the river, nervous-system regulation, neurodivergent masking and the From Mask to Map framework, this episode asks:*Is this mine to carry, mine to support, or mine to witness?*Ashley explores why relationships and responsibilities can feel especially heavy for neurodivergent people - not only because of the person or situation itself, but because of the interpretive work involved: decoding unspoken expectations, monitoring tone and body language, absorbing emotional atmospheres, replaying conversations, masking while caring, and trying to work out what was meant rather than what was said.This episode also looks at how challenges can become information rather than evidence of failure. A meltdown, a trigger, a conflict, a repeated pattern or a moment of overwhelm may reveal a boundary, a sensory need, an old role, a place of exhaustion, or a part of ourselves asking for care.Without spiritualising harm or glorifying suffering, Ashley invites a more nuanced question:Where is the Buddha in this?The episode closes with The Path, the Pack and the Teacher, a guided practice for exploring what you are carrying, what may not be yours, and what wisdom might be ready to travel forward with you.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching Ashley Dupuy.Ashley is also putting together the particulars of her From Mask to Map coaching cohort beginning in September.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss new research exploring how autistic people feel about genetic research—and why many support the science itself while remaining deeply concerned about how those discoveries could be used in the future. The conversation explores fears around genetic screening, prenatal testing, and the possibility that autism research could shift from understanding and supporting autistic people towards preventing autistic people from existing in the first place. Jordan and Simon reflect on why trust has been damaged within the autistic community and why transparency, ethics, and meaningful involvement of autistic people are essential in shaping future research. A passionate and thought-provoking conversation about genetics, ethics, trust, and the future of autism research.Our Sponsors:

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott begin by chatting about football, late-night World Cup matches, and the challenge of following a special interest that's happening in a completely different time zone. But the conversation quickly evolves into something much bigger: our relationship with our phones. From doom scrolling and revenge bedtime procrastination to fear of missing out (FOMO), they explore why neurodivergent brains can find it so difficult to switch off. A funny, reflective, and surprisingly relatable episode about FOMO, special interests, sleep, and learning to be present in a world that's constantly demanding our attention.Our Sponsors:
