Podcasts about calms

In today's episode I'm joined by Clara Schroeder, ecotherapist and author of Re-Nature, for a conversation about nature, the nervous system, and why time outdoors does far more than clear your head.Clara calls it the more than human world, and she takes us through what happens in the brain when we're in it. We get into the neuroscience of fractal patterns and why the predictability of a tree canopy or a wave settles the amygdala, the difference between exercising outdoors and relating to nature, and how she's seen nature connection ease loneliness, low mood and an overstimulated nervous system. She shares her own path through clinical depression and her recovery from a traumatic brain injury, plus the distinction she draws between physiological burnout and the ecological kind, the sort that comes from forgetting where we come from.We also talk horses as healers, flow state, and the small daily practices that bring nature in when you live in a city: a nature altar, a colour walk, a moment of presence with your morning cup of tea.If you've done all the inner work and still feel wired and disconnected from yourself, this is your reset.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxClara's Details:Website: claraschroeder.comInstagram: @livingwithclarityHer book, Re-Nature: How Nature Helps Us Feel Better and Do Better: available on Amazon and Barnes & NobleBook updates: @renaturebookBodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

Today's Bible Verse: "The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." — Zephaniah 3:17 A restless heart can come from many places. Anxiety about the future, regret over the past, uncertainty in the present, and the pressure to keep everything under control can leave us searching for peace. Zephaniah 3:17 offers a powerful reminder that true peace begins not with having all the answers, but with remembering who God is and how deeply He cares for us.

Most leaders try to manage a crisis with logic; it rarely works. In this episode of Leading Through Crisis, host Céline Williams sits down with Doug Noll — a former trial lawyer, peacemaker, and author of De-Escalate — who spent over a decade teaching maximum-security inmates how to stop fights before they start. Doug breaks down the neuroscience of conflict: why 95% of the brain is emotional (not rational), why the prefrontal cortex shuts down under threat, and why leading through logic during a crisis is fighting biology itself.  He introduces a simple, research-backed technique called affect labeling (saying "you feel" and naming someone's emotion) that can calm a nervous system in under two minutes, whether you're in a boardroom, a family crisis, or a prison yard. Along the way, Doug shares one of the most powerful stories from his 10 years working in California and Connecticut prisons: a woman serving a 25-to-life sentence who used this exact skill to reconnect with the son she had relinquished 18 years earlier. If you're a business owner, executive, or leader who wants practical tools for leading through change, conflict, and crisis — not just theory — this conversation will change how you show up in every hard conversation you have next. — Douglas E. Noll, JD, MA, is a lawyer-turned-peacemaker. He is an award-winning author, teacher, trainer, and highly experienced mediator. Doug's work carries him from international work to helping people resolve deep interpersonal and ideological conflicts. His training has included everything from teaching life inmates to be peacemakers and mediators in maximum-security prisons to training analysts at the Congressional Budget Office how to de-escalate members of Congress and staff.

After witnessing and opining on the entire state of horse racing and the sport in Maryland over the past 35 years on the radio regarding its complete deterioration, Nestor Aparicio only really trusts one voice about the sport of kings: Dick Jerardi. His one time colleague in 1984 has gone off to Philadelphia to become one of the legendary horse racing insiders in the sport and attempts to calm his now-much-older-and-more-cynical friend down about very rational Preakness and Triple Crown concerns as Pimlico goes to war with Churchill and Belmont, and NBC and Fox square off and Wes Moore is holding press conferences.

Matthew 14: 29-33 Roger Osorio

 I had already tried putting castor oil on my navel – and it was good.But then I discovered something far more powerful:Applying castor oil to the entire abdomen – the area between your chest and pelvis, where there are no ribs or bones.That changes everything.Why the Abdomen?During the night, your body enters its natural redemption cycle – a time of deep cleaning, repair, and rejuvenation.Castor oil applied to the abdomen amplifies this process in ways that surprised even me.What It Does for Your GutCastor oil mobilizes your colon and gut through peristaltic waves – the natural contractions that move waste through your system.It breaks down the fermented biofilm coating on your intestinal walls.That sticky, stinky film?It gets dissolved and eliminated.And in the morning?You see the difference.My Personal Experience – 14 DaysI've been doing this for 14 days – and the results are astonishing.The First Few DaysWhen I went to the toilet in the morning, it looked much worse at first.Lots of gas.Soft poop, shattered in small pieces.But I let it work.After 3 DaysMy stomach started flattening.Digestion improved visibly.After 14 DaysMy poop became perfect – a clear sign of a healthy gut.Additional Benefits – Beyond the GutThis simple nightly practice delivers a cascade of benefits:Benefit How It WorksFlatter stomach Reduced bloating and gut inflammationLymphatic flush 60% more lymphocytes – immune boostDeeper sleep Calms the nervous systemReduced inflammation Systemic anti-inflammatory effectNatural Botox Improved skin elasticity and toneClearer mind A clean colon = a clean mindWhy This WorksYour gut is called your "second brain" for a reason.When your colon is clean:Toxins are eliminatedInflammation dropsSleep improvesSkin glowsMental clarity sharpensCastor oil applied externally to the abdomen supports this internal cleansing process – gently, naturally, and effectively.How to Do It – Simple ProtocolTake a small amount of high-quality, cold-pressed castor oil.Apply generously to your entire abdomen (from below the chest to above the pelvis).Massage gently in clockwise circles for 2–3 minutes.Cover with an old cloth or wear an old T-shirt (oil can stain).Sleep through the night – and let your body do its work.Morning AfterWhen you wake up:Notice your toilet routine – it will improve over timeObserve your stomach – flatter and less bloatedFeel your energy – clearer and lighterFinal Thought"A clean colon is a clean mind."This ancient remedy is one of the simplest, most effective things you can do for your gut, your sleep, your skin – and your overall well-being.Try it for at least 14 days. So longer so better…  The results will speak for themselves.My Video:   Apply Castor Oil on Your Abdomen Before Sleep – And Miracles Will Happen https://youtu.be/gUUYvbceYFAMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Apply-Castor-Oil-on-Your-Abdomen-Before-Sleep-And-Miracles-Will-Happen.mp3

I start the episode with gratitude for the love of my life, Ethel Mertz my dog, my mother, and the opportunities I have. I acknowledge the sadness of loss but cherish the happiness I have experienced. Missing Ethel's stinky breath, her spot on the velvet couch, and the way she refused to eat out of a normal dog bowl.

If you're stuck wondering why consequences aren't working for your dysregulated child, you're not alone. Learn what's really driving behavior and how to create change. With her Regulation First Parenting™ approach, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge helps families turn dysregulation into growth. You've tried consequences. You've stayed consistent. And yet… nothing sticks. You're not alone. In this episode, we unpack why consequences aren't working for your dysregulated child—and what actually creates lasting change when behavior keeps repeating.Why do consequences not work for my child's behavior?If consequences were going to work, they already would have.The missing piece? Regulation.When your child's brain is dysregulated, it's not available for learning—no matter how consistent or “correct” your discipline is.Behavior only improves when the brain is regulatedConsequences may stop behavior temporarily—but don't break patternsIt's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brainThink about it: You give a consequence, things calm down… and then the same meltdown shows up again tomorrow.Example: Your child loses screen time for backtalk. They stop—for now. But the next day? Same pushback, same struggle. That's not defiance—it's dysregulation.Why does my child keep repeating the same bad behavior?Because you're addressing behavior, not the nervous system driving it.When kids are in fight, flight, or freeze, their brain is in survival mode. That means:No learning is happeningLogic doesn't landCorrection can escalate the situationIt feels like Groundhog Day for a reason.Behavior = communicationMeltdowns = nervous system overloadRepetition = unresolved dysregulationYou're not doing it wrong—you're just doing it in the wrong order.How do I discipline a child who is emotionally dysregulated?Let's calm the brain first. Everything follows.A simple framework—CALMS—changes everything:C – Co-regulate first: Lower your voice, pause, stay steadyA – Avoid personalizing: It's not disrespect—it's dysregulationL – Look for root causes: Fatigue? Sensory overload? Stress?M – Model coping: Show your child how to regulateS – Support effort: Catch progress, not perfectionExample: Instead of immediately correcting yelling, you pause, soften your tone, and help your child settle. Then you teach.That's the shift: Regulation first, then teaching.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button? Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.What actually helps my child change their behavior long-term?Not fear. Not punishment. Capacity.When kids feel supported and regulated, they build the ability to:Problem-solve without melting downHandle stress without shutting downLearn from mistakes instead of repeating themYou'll start to notice:Slower escalationFaster recoveryLess defensivenessThat's real progress—not just compliance.

Wondering if it's ADHD or dysregulation behind your child's struggles? When focus, behavior, and emotions shift fast, the answer may not be what you think. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, creator of Regulation First Parenting™, shares how understanding the brain changes everything.Feeling confused about your child's ADHD—or wondering if it's something more? You're not alone. What often looks like ADHD is actually dysregulation, and once you understand the difference, everything about your child starts to make sense.In this episode, we unpack what most parents miss: it's not just ADHD—it's a dysregulated nervous system, and when you learn to see behavior through that lens, you can finally respond with clarity and confidence.Why does my child focus on things they love but not on schoolwork?This is one of the biggest clues that we're not just looking at ADHD—we're looking at nervous system dysregulation.Your child can focus. They just can't access that focus consistently.Focus requires regulation + activationPreferred activities regulate the brain naturallyNon-preferred tasks can overwhelm or under-stimulate the systemExample: Your child builds Legos for hours but melts down over homework. That's not laziness—it's a state shift in the brain.Behavior is communication. When we decode it, everything changes.How do I know if my child is overwhelmed or under-stimulated?This is the question that shifts everything.Instead of asking, “Is this ADHD?” ask:

On June 14th, Bob Ingle preached from Jonah 1:11-12 in the fifth message of our series through the book of Jonah.

I'm a technophile with a love-hate relationship with my phone — so I sat down with someone who thinks about this a lot! Gabe Montague is the founder of Mindful Makers, a Boston community that builds technology to support mindfulness instead of eroding it.This is a real conversation about using AI well. We cover what "vibe coding" actually is and how someone who has never written a line of code can start today, the projects I've built this way (a neuroscience site kids can talk to, and my sleep app), and how Gabe runs one-day hackathons where coders and non-coders build tools for their own digital wellbeing. We get honest about AI safety — what I keep off my laptop, why Gabe watches AI rather than turning it loose, and the security mistakes that are easy to make. We talk about whether kids should use AI, whether it's making us sharper or lazier, and the neurotech wearables that can read your stress (and where that gets uncomfortable). Gabe also shares how his own meditation practice began — with an app, of course!Somewhere in the middle, Gabe describes a focus idea I've started using on my own writing: setting an intention before anything else unlocks, and telling AI to pause and check in before the next step. That's the same follow-through thinking at the heart of RELAX TO SOAR the planner I printed, and name of the book I'm writing.RELAX TO SOAR(TM) is my guide to setting automatic micro-habits that actually stick.

The hardest part of parenting isn't always your child's tantrum or defiance. It's what that moment awakens in you and what it does to your marriage. We've all seen the public meltdown scene, and many of us have lived it at home: anger rises fast, words get sharp, and suddenly one spouse is trying to protect the kids from the other spouse's wrath. Over time, some parents disengage because they don't trust themselves to discipline, and the home starts to feel like “single parenting” even with two married adults under the same roof.We take you to Hebrews 12 to rebuild the whole definition of discipline around God's Word. God doesn't discipline because He's done with us, but because He loves us, trains us, and wants a harvest of righteousness and peace. That changes how we interpret parenting stress and family conflict. We also unpack a key distinction: restoration after someone else's sin versus discipline that God plans for our good, using a surgeon versus emergency room doctor analogy to show how God can be doing both in our lives at once.Then we get very practical. Biblical discipline isn't venting and it isn't mechanical. The goal is repentance that leads to forgiveness and real change. We talk about forgiving your kids for the past, confessing your built-up anger to them no matter their age, and teaching them how to ask forgiveness with sincerity and specifics. When parents practice self-discipline under God's loving hand, we can finally correct our kids without rage and rebuild trust instead of fear.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share this with a worn-out parent, and leave a review so more couples can find biblical counsel for marriage and parenting.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I cover a recent court case leading to OpenAI having to clarify that ChatGPT is not a lawyer. Highlights 00:10 — There has been confusion about what OpenAI's core product, ChatGPT, is and isn't, particularly in a recent court case. OpenAI clarified that ChatGPT is not a lawyer after an individual used the AI tool to build her case and would cite it as a source. 01:30 — In its motion for dismissal, ChatGPT had to very specifically note that it's not a lawyer, it is not a person, and it does not practice law. OpenAI defined ChatGPT as a set of rules and words that help people understand what's going on around them. 02:30 — One of the world's most technologically advanced companies and innovators had to spell this out in court. There is a fair amount of humor to be found in this. 03:00 — To quote Pogo, "We have met the enemy, and it is us." Humans should be rightly proud of the tech innovations and AI advances emerging. However, there's always going to be this goofiness out on the fringes where things have to be spelled out. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

When someone in a high conflict situation gets upset, the instinct is to explain, correct, or reason with them — and that almost always makes things worse. The reason isn't a mystery anymore: it's neuroscience. Validation doesn't just make people feel better; it quiets the amygdala's threat response and activates the part of the brain responsible for regulating emotions. An EAR statement — something showing empathy, attention, or respect — is the fastest way to get there.Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, co-founders of the High Conflict Institute, connect recent brain research to the EAR statement framework — covering why tone of voice affects the vagus nerve, how to calm yourself before calming someone else, and when EAR statements shouldn't be used at all.It's All Your Fault is produced by TruStory FM.Full Show Notes & ResourcesSubmit Questions | Full Show Notes | Bookstore | WebsiteWatch this episode on YouTubeImportant Notice: Our discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

The phrases, "take courage", "fear not" and "be strong and courageous" appear in the Bible numerous times.

Send us Fan MailWhat if one of the most powerful ways to manage stress and anxiety was something you're already doing all day—breathing?In this episode, Barb is joined again by somatic yin yoga instructor Annie Au to explore the power of conscious breathing. Together, they discuss why there's no single “right” way to breathe, and how simply becoming aware of your breathing patterns can help you better understand what's happening in your body.Annie explains how different types of breathing can either calm or energize you, depending on your state, and why long exhales are such an effective way to bring the body back to a relaxed, safe place. They also talk about the connection between breath and anxiety, how the nervous system responds to stress, and simple techniques you can use in everyday moments to reset and feel more in control.This conversation is a reminder that small, intentional changes—like how you breathe—can have a big impact on how you feel.Connect with Annie by visiting her website https://annieauyoga.com or find her on Instagram @annie_au_yoga.Find us on Instagram @convoswithboomerspod .If you like our show, make sure you follow us on your favourite Podcast player.

What if the thing you thought would make you more controlled…was actually the thing that finally helped you feel free around food?In this episode, I'm walking you through one of the most misunderstood tools in your healing journey:Planning your meals.But not in the way you've been taught.This is not about tracking macros.Not about restriction.Not about discipline.This is about creating safety in your body.1. Planning Isn't About Control — It's About SafetyWhen most people hear “plan your meals,” they think:calorie countingrigid structurerestrictionBut what I teach is different.Planning removes food noise.It tells your body: you're safe… food is available… nothing is being taken away.And when your body feels safe?Cravings begin to quiet.2. Cravings Are a Nervous System SignalCravings are not random.They're not a lack of willpower.They are a signal that your nervous system is in protection mode.And in that state, your body will:increase cravingspush you toward high-reward foodsstore fat instead of releasing itBecause your body is trying to survive.3. The Cycle That Keeps You StuckThis is the loop I see over and over again:Restrict → Binge → Punish → Promise → RepeatYou restrict.You feel in control.Something triggers you.You binge.You feel shame.You punish yourself.You promise to do better.And the cycle continues.Not because you don't have self-control…but because your nervous system is doing its job.4. Restriction Creates Stronger CravingsThe more you tell yourself you can't have something…the more your brain fixates on it.That's why:one craving turns into a bingeone treat turns into “starting over Monday”Because deprivation increases desire.5. The Dopamine LoopWhen you use food to go from:discomfort → reliefstress → rewardyou create a dopamine pattern.And over time, you need more and more to feel the same effect.This is how emotional eating becomes a habit.6. Permission Changes EverythingYou are allowed to eat the food.Not as a reward.Not as a cheat.Not as a “last chance.”But as something neutral.Because when nothing is forbidden…nothing has power over you.7. Planning as a Tool for PeaceWhen you plan your meals:you reduce mental chatteryou remove decision fatigueyou create predictabilityyou build trust with yourselfAnd that's what actually leads to change.8. Intuition Comes After SafetyYou don't “just eat intuitively” overnight.Intuition is built when:restriction is gonefood is neutralyour body feels safeThen your body starts guiding you naturally.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Send a textDr. John Delony on Anxiety, Marriage, and Turning Insight into ActionIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we  welcome Dr. John Delony to discuss how lasting change requires action, not just insight. Delony connects his approach to lessons from his father, a homicide detective and hostage negotiator who moved toward crisis, and his mother, who began college at 42 and earned a PhD at 57. He argues anxiety is an internal alarm system and that money, anger, and relationship problems often signal deeper issues beneath surface labels. Delony critiques cultural narratives that prioritize feelings and overload romantic partners amid widespread loneliness, urging couples to build friendship, service, and practical “repair” strategies. He recommends choosing reality through honest inventories, building trusted connections (including “outsourcing” perspective to reliable people), and prioritizing health, sleep, and faith. The episode includes sponsorship messages for Colel Chabad's Pushka app and Shefa Living's Mountain View community.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  This episode is powered by their Pushka (Charity Box) App, which makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

What if the reason you haven't found peace yet isn't because your life is too loud… but because you've been waiting for it to finally quiet down? So many of us believe the subtle lie: Peace will come when this season settles. When the diagnosis clears. When the relationship stabilizes. When the calendar empties. When the anxiety makes sense. But Psalm 23 tells a very different story. In this powerful conversation, Bible teacher and author Tara Dew joins us to unpack the truth that peace isn't the reward at the end of a calmer life — it's the gift found in close proximity to the Shepherd. Her new book, Overflowing Peace, walks verse-by-verse through Psalm 23, inviting us to slow down and rediscover a familiar passage with fresh eyes. Together, let's hear how biblical peace exists: In valleys In the presence of enemies In the middle of unresolved chaos   Connect with Tara Dew: Her newest release, Overflowing Peace: https://rstyle.me/+R_L4SZUZ7SedEPN-NRrkDQ Her ministry, Prepare Her: www.prepareher.com Connect with Heidi: FollowTrade a Lie for a Truth on instagram.com/tradealieforatruth Grab Heidi's 100-day devotional through Joshua: All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travelpassionweek Follow Heidi on Instagram: instagram.com/heidileeanderson

If you've ever felt stuck in your thoughts-overanalyzing, spiraling, or assuming every anxious thought must mean something...this episode is for you. The Chicks are breaking down one of the most important CBT skills for anxiety: learning to detach from your thoughts instead of believing them. You'll learn how to observe your thoughts as mental events—not facts—and how this shift alone can reduce anxiety, rumination, and emotional overwhelm. This isn't about stopping thoughts or “thinking positively.” It's about learning how to change your relationship with your thoughts so they have less power over your nervous system.

Actor Todd Stashwick's IMDb page is miles long, with appearances in Laws & Orders OG and SVU, Angel, Buffy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Riches, Phineas and Ferb, and Star Trek: Picard and the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series VisionQuest. He's also a Bigfoot enthusiast. Not a big foot enthusiast, a fan of the cryptozoological creature also known as Sasquatch. Alert followers of host John Moe know that he shares this interest as well, and deeply. John and Todd compare notes on what is actually a soothing activity: poring over YouTube videos, reading first person accounts, and speculating on whether the “Bigfoot as transdimensional traveler” angle is possible or just a little too far. At various points in this interview, John gets a bit too excited about Bigfoot and, remembering what our show is, producer Gabe Mara calms him down.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback._________________________________________________________________________Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member.

When my therapist first told me to start journaling as part of my recovery practice, I literally laughed in her face. Journaling? Like... affirmations? I didn't believe that writing in a notebook would help me recover from my eating disorder. It seemed too simple. Too basic. Too... pointless. But sis, I was so wrong. Journaling didn't just help me recover. It actually saved my life. And if fear is keeping you stuck in restrictive behaviors right now—if you're terrified to recover because you're not sure who you'll be without your eating disorder—then you need to hear this. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 science-backed benefits of journaling that transformed my recovery and why this simple practice might be the missing piece in yours. We live in a culture of information overload—endless scrolling, constant content, comparison on every platform. But what if instead of consuming more, you need to process what's already in your mind? According to the National Institute of Health, 26% of adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. And yet, only 8% of the world population keeps a journal. It's time to go back to the basics. It's time to slow down. It's time to give your brain the space it needs to heal. In this episode, you'll discover: Why I laughed when my therapist suggested journaling (and why I was so wrong) The shocking statistics about mental health and why we need to process, not just consume 7 powerful benefits of journaling in eating disorder recovery (backed by science) How journaling reduces anxiety and depression while boosting your immune system Why getting thoughts OUT of your mind is critical for cognitive processing How writing promotes healing, acceptance, and actually changes your brain The way I used journaling to replace negative coping mechanisms with positive ones How journaling gives you reset, redirection, and compassion for your journey Why reflecting on your progress through old journals sparks hope and momentum Practical tips on how to start journaling TODAY (no fancy notebook required) If you've been stuck, if you've been overwhelmed by the thoughts in your mind, if you don't know where to go next—this episode is your permission to start simple. Start small. Start today. Journaling changed my life. And it can change yours too. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   A lick mat can feel like magic when it brings instant peace to a whiny or restless puppy, but sometimes that calm comes after a buildup we don't even notice. I'm taking a closer look at what drives that rising anticipation and how small, thoughtful changes can shift the pattern toward calm, confidence, and comfort. With a bit of intention, lick mats can become tools that support your puppy's emotional well-being rather than fuel anxious routines or unwanted behaviors.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • Why puppies start whining, circling, pawing, bouncing, or barking before you deliver a lick mat. • The "thing before the thing" and how anticipation becomes reinforcement. • What to do first when your puppy is anxious, whiny, or restless. • The different stages of using a lick mat to support wanted behavior. • How to prepare lick mats without triggering excitement. • How to create a new trigger so calm behavior predicts the lick mat. • Ways to use lick mats for fear, visitors at the door, and environmental distractions. • Why lick mats should not be a lifelong crutch and how to use them with intention.   Resources:   1.
