Send us a textIn this episode of Get Jasched, Jess speaks with Rhianna Jade – an astrologer and holistic psychotherapist with 10 years' experience as a registered psychologist in Australia – about how astrology and psychology can work together to support our mental health, emotional wellbeing and leadership.Rhianna has spent years helping people move through anxiety, burnout, grief, shame and identity loss. In this conversation, she and Jess dive into how high-achievers, entrepreneurs and caregivers often end up in imposter syndrome, over-giving and compassion fatigue, and how tools like astrology, nervous-system awareness and simple daily rituals can help us come back to ourselves.They explore:- How combining astrology and psychology gives us a more compassionate, objective language to understand ourselves- Why imposter syndrome and constant comparison are so rampant for high achievers and business owners- The difference between burnout and compassion fatigue – and what to look out for- How to use the moon cycles and retrograde seasons to plan, reflect and reset (without outsourcing your power)- Practical rituals and grounding practices to reduce anxiety, reconnect to your body and navigate year-end exhaustion- Why our Sun, Moon and Rising signs each reveal different parts of who we are and what we need to feel nourished- How reconnecting to your truth rebuilds confidence, trust, purpose and self-belief over timeRhianna also shares why “just breathe” is not 'nothing' advice – and how something as simple as returning to the breath can shift your energy, soften your nervous system and help you respond instead of react.If you're feeling tired, done, over it, or crawling to the finish line, this episode is a permission slip to slow down, reflect, and remember you're not broken – you might just be disconnected from what actually works for you.

Between the relentless uncertainty—political, environmental, societal—in the world and our own personal challenges, We are living through one of the most anxious periods any of us can remember.Many of us are feeling overwhelmed, and out of control.As a result we may find ourselves falling into unhealthy patterns that we struggle to change—worrying, stress-eating, constantly scrolling on social media, procrastinating, and more. The good news is that there's a way out.In today's episode, which we originally released in 2023,  but chose to re release now given it feels more timely than ever,Addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and NYT Bestselling Author Dr. Jud Brewer is back on the show. And together we'll explore the possibility of changing our relationship to anxiety for good.Leveraging the power of mindfulness, curiosity, and a 3-step process for habit change developed in his neuroscience lab,Jud and his team have shown it's not only possible to unwind anxiety, rediscover peace and calm (in our constantly changing world),But that the simple brain-based practices for doing soare accessible to us all.For more on Jud, his NYT Bestselling Unwinding Anxiety, the Unwinding Anxiety workbook, and app, please visit drjud.comEnjoying the show?

What does mental wellness really mean, and how do we teach it to kids and teens when the adults around them are stretched thin? In this episode, Dr. Caroline sits down with licensed clinical social worker MJ Murray Vachon, who brings nearly 40 years of experience working with adolescents, families, and midlife adults.MJ shares the two mental wellness definitions that guide her work, how Dr. Dan Siegel's “river of calm” helps us understand chaos and rigidity, and why adults' emotions are contagious for kids. You'll hear stories from classrooms, families, and even Notre Dame athletes that highlight the everyday ways mental health is shaped by modeling, connection, and self-regulation.Listeners will walk away with practical tools like the FACES model, NESTS for self-care, and playful strategies that keep mental wellness accessible for kids and adults alike. This conversation is a reminder that children can't be healthier than the adults raising or teaching them—and small steps in our own wellness ripple out to every child we support.Homework IdeasCheck your own state firstEach day, pause and ask: Am I calm, chaotic, or rigid?Use a grounding practice (deep breaths, stretch, short walk) before engaging with kids.Create a “Glimmer List”Write 5 small, free things that bring you joy (music, a walk, a funny show).Do one daily and encourage your child to make their own list.Practice NESTS Self-CareNutrition: regular balanced meals.Exercise: daily movement.Sleep: aim for consistent bedtimes.Technology: set limits that support rest and focus.Stress skills: model a simple coping strategy (breathwork, journaling, quiet time).Model Validation + BoundariesAcknowledge feelings: “I hear you. This is hard.”Don't over-explain—hold space, then guide with calm presence.About MJWith more than 50,000 hours of clinical sessions, I've spent nearly four decades helping people navigate anxiety, stress, and life transitions with practical, science-backed skills. I'm the creator of Inner Challenge, a mental wellness program launched in 1993 and taught for 21 years in junior highs and even with Notre Dame Football, equipping teens and athletes with coping strategies to boost resilience. As host of Creating Midlife Calm, chosen by Maria Shriver as her “Listen of the Week,” I weave stories and evidence-based tools into actionable practices listeners can use right away. My work always comes back to this: real-life coping skills that are simple, doable, and effective. I started the podcast Creating Midlife Calm because I know the parents of teens are the key to helping them develop the mental wellness that will carry them through adolescence and into adulthood.Get in touchInstagram: @vachonmjmurrayFacebook: MJ Murray Vachon LCSWWebsite: mjmurrayvachon.comEnjoying the show?

Dr. Jud Brewer is an addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center. Jud is passionate about understanding how our brains work, and how to use that knowledge to help people make deep, permanent change in their lives — With the goal of reducing suffering in the world at large.This conversation, which we originally recorded and released during the Pandemic in 2021,Looked at the deepening division in our society, the patterns of 'othering', judgment, and blame, Through the lens of habit formation. The hypothesis that Jud and I exploredWhich was informed by his novel approaches to using mindfulness for habit change, was: If othering, us and them thinking, and judgment are in fact habitsThan it's not only possible to break them,It's also possible to develop habits that counteract division and nurture connection and community. The key question though, which just happens to be at the heart of Jud's work,Is How? In this episode we'll explore some ideas for answering that question including:Insights about how our brains learnAnd Practices developed in Jud's lab that leverage mindfulness and the power of curiosityPractices that offer hope, and a potential path for both individual and collective healing.We chose to re-release this episode now,not only because it's a unique lens to look at these challenges, But because recognizing our common humanity, and nurturing connection with each other is needed perhaps now more than ever. For more on Jud, his NYT bestselling books, trainings, and groundbreaking work using novel mindfulness programs for habit change, please visit: drjud.comEnjoying the show?

Americans today are leaving religion in record numbers. For many, the faith, practices, and institutions that once provided comfort and guidance no longer fit their beliefs and values. Today's guest, Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren, a psychologist scientist who engages big existential questions to promote human flourishing, And author of the powerful book: Done: How to Flourish After Leaving Religioncalls this departure ‘The Great Disillusionment.' His research and writing brings attention to several important, but often difficult questions that arise when people are no longer served by traditional religion: How do they find new meaning and purpose? How do they process the grief that often accompanies religious or spiritual change? And how can they navigate challenging relationships with people who do not support or understand? Today we'll explore this complex terrain as we discuss: The changing landscape of religion in the US and beyond, Why leaving religion can be so hard, which Darryl will reflect on through the lens of his research, but also through sharing the tragic story of losing his brother. A loss that left him questioning, and wrestling with his own relationship to the religion he was brought up in and had built his life around for many years. And finally, the possibility that Daryl writes about so beautifully.In his words:If you are rethinking your religious beliefs, have experienced religious loss or struggle, or have undergone a significant religious change, you are not alone. By understanding how people before us have left or transformed their religion, And using their wisdom as a guide,we can discover new ways of finding peace, engaging with the transcendent, And ultimately crafting a flourishing and meaningful life.For more on Daryl, his books, research, and other offerings please visit darylvantongeren.comEnjoying the show?

In her beautiful book, The Power of Wonder, Monica Parker, writes:“Wonder purls its way through our lives from first cry to last gasp - Moments that engage us, surprise us, take our breath away,And give us the gift of viewing the world, and our place in it,In an entirely different way.But something happens as we move from the wonder-filled days of childhood to obligation laden days of adulthood. We become increasingly jaded. Like the sun that continues to shine on a cloudy day, wonder is still there,But we just can't seem to see it anymore. And then one day we stop looking.” A world renowned speaker, author, and leading authority on the future of work, Monica has spent decades helping people discover how to lead and live wonderfully. Much of her work, which lies at the intersection of research and practice, Explores how, and why, wonder holds the potential to transform: the way we learn, develop new ideas, drive social change, and ultimately become better humans.Today's conversation is a beautiful beginning. A doorway into a mini series on the power of mystery and wonder.Themes that will make up the second part in a trilogy, which began with conversations focused on impermanence, and that will end with an exploration of love. Monica is here to kick things off. Inviting us into possibility. The possibility of looking again - Opening our eyes like we did as children and reconnecting with a reverence for the world, and all the magic in it. For More on Monica, her book: The Power of Wonder, her speaking, and her fascinating career which has included roles as diverse as being an opera singer, founder of a global human analytics and change consultancy, and a homicide investigator defending death row inmates please visit Monica-Parker.comEnjoying the show?

How are some people so much smarter than the rest of us? Where do visionary creatives and savvy decision-makers like Vincent Van Gogh, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Maya Angelou, Warren Buffet, and William Shakespeare,get their extraordinary mental abilities?In 2021, researchers at Ohio State's Project Narrative, the world's leading academic think-tank for the study of how stories work, and a place renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced they had the answer. They named it Primal Intelligence. And they published scientific proof that Primal Intelligence was impossible for computers—but could be strengthened in humans.Intrigued, U.S. Army Special Operations developed Primal training for its most classified units. The training succeeded. The Operators saw the future faster. They healed quicker from trauma. In life-and-death situations, they chose wiser.From there the Army authorized training for civilian entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, managers, coaches, teachers, investors, and NFL players. Their leadership and innovation improved significantly. They coped better with change and uncertainty. They experienced less anger and anxiety. And when they offered the training to college and K-12 classrooms it produced substantial effects in students as young as eight.In today's conversation with Angus Fletcher who serves as Professor of story science at Project Narrative,holds dual degrees in neuroscience and literature, a PhD in Shakespeare, and is author of the powerful new book: Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter than You know.We'll take a deep dive into the groundbreaking research and training they've been developing at Project Narrative over the past 4 years. And Angus will share his often surprising and unexpected journey into this work. Including some of the most potent insights and practices he gained from collaborating with U.S. Special Operations along the way.To learn more about Primal Intelligence, including the inspiring new book, Angus's work, and Primal trainings please visit operationhuman.comEnjoying the show?

Many of us think of the arts as entertainment or a luxury of some kind. But In their New York Times Bestselling Book: Your Brain on Art, authors Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross invite us to open our minds and consider a breathtaking expansion of this limited view of what the arts are, and the power they hold to transform our lives both individually and collectively. Ivy, who serves as Chief Design Officer for Consumer Devices at Google, and has previously held executive positions spanning from head of product design and development to CMO and presidencies with several of the world's leading companies, including Calvin Klein, Swatch, Coach, Mattel, and Gap.And Susan who is the founder and director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where she also serves as a faculty member, Originally came together through a cold outreach email on LinkedIn.That email turned into a 3 hour conversation,Which ultimately led to a 4 year journey of discovery, writing and research.  In today's conversation they will share the fruits of this unlikely and extraordinary collaboration -As they offer insights, research, and practices that shed light on the new science of neuroaesthetics. And the possibility we find ourselves standing in front of:A cultural shift in which the arts can deliver potent, accessible, and proven solutions for the well-being of everyone.Susan and Ivy argue that this new understanding about how the arts and aesthetics can help us Holds the potential to transform traditional medicine, build healthier communities, and mend an aching planet.And that unlocking this potential is not about seeking something outside of us, But rather, is about returning to the creative and artistic expression we freely experienced as children.Embracing art not as a luxury, or an escape,But as our evolutionary birthright.For more on Ivy, Susan, their beautiful book Your Brain on Art, please visit yourbrainonart.com. You can also check out a beautiful newly launched resource center for the Neuroarts that Susan is spearheading at neruoartsresourcecenter.comEnjoying the show?

While the Campfire team dives into 2026 planning, this conversation from 2019 remains strikingly relevant for anyone crafting messages that move people to action.Anat, whose research has appeared in The Atlantic, Boston Globe, and The Guardian, shares game-changing insights about how progressive campaigns can craft winning messages. She breaks down the fundamental flaws in typical progressive communication—what she calls the "Boy, have I got a problem for you?" approach—and offers a powerful alternative framework that starts with shared values rather than problems.Beyond specific messaging tactics, this episode explores the deeper philosophy of movement building. Anat emphasizes that effective campaigns focus on what they're for rather than what they oppose, noting that "what we fight, we feed." She shares examples from successful campaigns around the world—from New Zealand's election of Jacinda Ardern to Minnesota's defeat of Islamophobia—showcasing how positive, values-based messaging transforms outcomes.Whether you're planning a campaign, crafting organizational messaging, or simply curious about how language shapes our political landscape, this conversation offers invaluable tools for communicating with impact.

Drawing from the science of cognitive bias, Author, and digital product designer for some of the world's leading tech companies, Vicki Tan, has written a beautiful new book intended to help us find wisdom and confidence in the face of life's biggest questions. In today's conversation we'll dive deeper into her work around the art and science of decision making, Which in Vicki's words: Is less about unlocking secrets, And more about understanding the quiet ways we navigate uncertainty.During our time together Vicki will offer insight into how our cognitive biases -Those default (and often unconscious) lenses through which we view the world -Influence all aspects of our daily lives.From the way we perceive time, to how the people around us influence us, to our tendency to remember the bizarre over the familiar. And, That as we begin to deepen our understanding of how our minds work, And choose to view questions we're stuck on in a different light, We just might be surprised by how clear our answers become. For more on Vicki, her design work, and her new book, titled: Ask This Book a Question: An Interactive Journey to Find Wisdom for Life's Big and Little Decisions please visit vickitan.comEnjoying the show?

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Rebecca, a graduate of my Holistic Career Change group program, who shares her powerful transformation from people-pleasing perfectionist to someone who makes aligned decisions through her body's wisdom. Rebecca opens up about being a "serial class taker" with too many interests and no clarity, and how a vivid childhood memory shaped years of climbing the professional ladder solely for approval and validation.We explore Rebecca's journey of learning to tune into her "loud body" as an internal navigation system, discovering her identity as an emotional projector, and shattering limiting beliefs about being bad at decision-making and never finishing things. She shares practical insights about setting boundaries at work, asking for help, overcoming shiny object syndrome, and building self-awareness to course-correct when slipping into old patterns. Rebecca also discusses launching her beautiful multipotentialite business, moving through comparison mode, and learning to build an aligned venture in strategic phases while honoring how all her past experiences now weave together perfectly to support her new path.ABOUT REBECCARebecca is the Creator, Editor, and Curator of Compassionate Contrarian, a website and blog dedicated to cultivating knowledge and power in changemakers, wellness seekers, and curious souls.

'What is this moment calling for?'At the heart of Dr. Jacob Ham's approach lies this profound question. The simplicity of it can be disarming. Yet to answer it skillfully requires the capacity to be present -To notice what is arising moment by moment. Not only in you, But in those around you, As well as what is arising in the space between.That sacred ground we like to call connection or relationship.To answer the question also necessitates an ability to meet whatever is here with curiosity, and the wisdom of an open heart. Over the course of his career Dr. Ham has sat with countless clients, Exploring the landscape of trauma, healing, and growth. Honing his craft through the act of asking and answering this question. Moment by moment.In many ways Dr. Ham might be thought of as a master craftsman, A brilliant therapist,Who has cultivated a deeply loving, authentic, and wise presence over a lifetime of practice.It's a way of showing up,A way of being,A way of meeting people exactly where they are,which can't really be described in words. Like a good conversation, it's something that must be experienced. Today, you'll have that opportunity. We originally recorded over a year ago, but chose to re release it, as it is one of the most moving and unique conversations I 've ever had on the show. For more on Dr. Ham, his work both as a therapist, and as Director of the Center for Child Trauma and Resilience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, as well as his writings and events please visit drjacobham.comEnjoying the show?

Is there just one “you”? This evocative question lies at at the heart of Dr. Richard Schwartz's groundbreaking work as both a therapist, and a researcher.Over 40 years he's pushed back against conventionChallenging what so many of us have been taught to believe - That we have a single identity.And to feel fear or shame when we can't control the inner voices that don't match the ideal of who we think we should be. Rather than accept this well adopted theory of the “mono-mind.”Dr. Schwartz developed the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves, which has been transforming psychology for decades and is outlined in his profound bestselling book, No Bad PartsHe says:“All of us are born with many sub-minds - or parts,” “These parts are not imaginary or symbolic. They are individuals who exist as an internal family within us - and the key to health and happiness is to honor, understand, and love every part.”Today, we will take an experiential dive into IFS - As Dick shares more of his story, how he came to this approach, the role of curiosity and love in healing,and ultimately will offer a glimpse of what's possible when we engage in parts work as he generously agreed to conduct an IFS therapy session with me in real time. What unfolded turned out to be extraordinary experience. One that left me changed.The session itself increased my belief in Dick's hopeful and inspiring sentiment:“When we learn to love all our parts, we can learn to love all people - and that will contribute to healing the world.”For more on Dick Schwartz, his books, IFS, and a directory of IFS trained therapists please visit ifs-institute.comEnjoying the show?

How do we engage with one another at work in ways that foster more authentic professional relationships? And that ultimately lead to more equitable workplaces?Today's guest is Dr. Rosalind Chow - A leading organizational expert, professor at the Tepper School of Business, and author of the new book: The Doors You Can Open.Rosalind argues that sponsorship is an important part of the answer to these complex questions. Choosing to sponsor others is a choice that's all about lifting other people up.It's the act of opening doors (that may have otherwise been closed) by changing how other people see a protégé, team member, or co-worker. And Dr. Chow's research shows that making this choice can yield a tremendous amount of upside. When people engage in sponsorship: Not only can the organizational tide shift in the direction of social equality and inclusion. It can also lead to mutually beneficial lifelong connections (rather than merely transactional interactions). In our conversation Rosalind and I will dive deeper into:Sponsorship, The art and science of building trusting relationships, The bold case she makes for completely changing the way we network - focusing less on what we can get, and more on what we have to give And why we all have more agency and deeper networks to act as sponsors than we might think. For more on Rosalind, and her important new book: The Doors You Can Open please visit rosalindchow.comEnjoying the show?

Send us a textJames Barnard didn't plan on becoming a freelancer. He didn't even want to work for himself. But after years inside big UK agencies — building brands for Wimbledon, Virgin, and Disney — life pushed him into independence. And it stuck.Now, with over 200K followers across platforms and a solo studio model that works on his terms, James has become a recognizable voice in branding. Not just for the work, but for the honesty.In this episode, Kirk and Andy talk with James about the freedom and friction that come with building a solo creative business. They cover his shift from London agencies to designing on the Gold Coast, why he leans into bold simplicity, and how social media became his unexpected growth engine.Topics include:How to think small — and still charge bigWhen “niching down” actually worksWhy James prioritizes consistency over creative perfectionThe real ROI of sharing process onlineGetting clients without pitching (and keeping them)James doesn't sugarcoat the freelance path. He talks openly about burnout, self-doubt, and the tension between making a name for yourself vs. getting stuck in a visual style. But what's clear is that he's found a rhythm — and he's sharing what actually works.You'll also hear the crew talk about pricing psychology, personal branding, and the weird peace that comes from doing less — but doing it well.If you've ever considered going solo or want to refine how you present your design work to the world, this one hits.

In his new book, Original Love, Zen meditation master, award winning author and poet, and renowned spiritual teacher Henry Shukman offers a tantalizing proposition. At any moment there is a powerful possibility available to us.A possibility of piercing the illusion of separateness,And experiencing a profound sense of connection.In these moments which are deemed by some as ‘awakening', it can seem almost as if a spell is broken. That we are waking up from a sort of dream.As we see, feel, and know (in our bones) that there is in fact no separation. That at some level everything and everyone are connected. Henry argues that these experiences can be the single most healing, positively life-transforming events that can happen to us. Well documented for centuries, across different wisdom traditions, and now explored through scientific inquiry,Experiences of waking up to our interconnected nature often lead to large positive shifts in our priorities.We tend to move from self-protection and self-promotion toward a natural flow of compassion and concern for others and the world.This boundless interconnected experience is what Henry calls Original Love. In today's conversation Henry and I will explore this possibility in depth,As we unpack what might lead us back to Original Love. Including practices we can bring into our lives, our work, and our relationships.Practices like :Letting goAllowing what's here to be here as it isLoosening the grip of control and learning to relax into uncertainty. And Henry will share some of his hard earned insight about meditation as a path toward greater wellbeing, connection, and awakening.

What if the time is never coming when you're ‘on top of things', or finally feel like you know what you're doing?For years, New York Times Bestselling author Oliver Burkeman has dared to ask provocative questions like these.The sort of questions that invite us to examine popular cultural views about what it means to work and live well.In his beautiful and brilliant books, his longtime column in the Guardian, and other writings, Oliver has been a leading voice helping to unravel myths about the often celebrated idea that we can 'do it all'. Rather than chasing perfectionism he invites us to embrace our imperfections, To confront our mortality,and to explore deeper questions about what matters, and what will bring us fully alive in the brief time we're here.In today's conversation we'll thoroughly explore how and why imperfectionism may actually be the path to experiencing a more meaningful, productive, absorbing and energizing life – not later, but right here in the midst of the overwhelm, the distraction, and the anxiety-inducing news headlines.

When you hear the word provoke what do you think of? What about the word provocative? For many (including myself)This idea, of provocation, often holds a negative connotation.Look it up in the dictionary and you'll even see one definition that reads:Purposefully stirring up a fight.But as you can imagine there's a very different form of provocation. One that when harnessed can:stimulate curiosity, open us to new perspectives and outside-the-box ideas, and one that ultimately invites  us to see our work, relationships, and the world we live in with fresh eyes. It's a thrill to have Dr. Robert Biswas-Deiner on the show today as we explore this alternative form of provocation and fresh thought-provoking ideas inspired by his latest book: Positive Provocation: 25 Questions to Elevate Your Coaching Practice.In today's episode:Robert's story about how he came to be doing the work he is engaged in today as a coach, trainer, researcher, and author. Including making a very tough decision to drop out of graduate school. The details surrounding an invitation Robert received to be The Provocateur for an international coaching conference.How he defines Positive Provocation and what key elements support doing it well, both at work and in life.What he calls the 90 degree view - a sweet spot for inviting people into curiosity, and rethinking conventional ideas.Intriguing stories from coaching sessions, that offer insight into what he's learned about the art of challenging people effectively.How to stay open to being positively provoked, including the importance of cultivating intellectual humility.How research on the psychology of hospitality ties into being a positive provocateur.If you found today's conversation interesting, I would encourage you to check out Robert's new book, Positive Provocation where you can learn more about this approach, and see how he puts it into practice.Did you find today's conversation inspiring?

Failure is an experience that is deeply embedded into our lives. As we learn to walk we fall. As we learn to ride a bike we (usually) fall again. And yet even though it is so familiar, so intertwined with our journey through life, not all failure is created equal. Which brings up important questions:How do we fail well? What are the crucial distinctions that might help us separate good failure from bad?How do we learn to identify when failure is our friend, and prevent most of it when it is not? These bigger questions about failing wisely are at the core of the conversation today. Dr. Amy Edmondson is back on the show and together we'll explore:How we can stay open to learning from failure at the individual and team levelHow leaders can create the conditions for learning in the face of failures. The importance of curiosity before blame - and a simple way to practice itThe reasons why most failures are not blameworthy and yet that is often the knee jerk reaction in organizationsThe three types of failure and how diagnosing failure type can lead to learning and preventing further failure.Painful emotions that can arise in the face of failure, and the importance of compassion, vulnerability, and giving ourselves permission to be human. Why failure is not an equal opportunity proposition, and her vision for a world where everyone has equal license to fail intelligently. Some of Amy's reflections on the importance of play, having fun, experimenting, taking risks, trying new things, and why practicing in low stakes situations has tremendous upside when it comes to getting better at failing. Interested in diving deeper into Amy's work around failure?

Today's conversation has been 5 years in the making. In 2018 I sat down with Mark Nepo, one of the great spiritual teachers, authors, and poets of our time. During our conversation he posed a question to walk with. Inviting me (and those tuning in) to live into the answers over time.When my heart begins to close, how do I open it again?For 5 years I've been exploring this question with some of the world's leading thinkers, and doers. And today Mark and I will dive deeper into this theme, as we discuss the practice of opening the heart, in the midst of some of the storms we are facing: political polarization, climate change, gun violence, etc. How do we open the heart in the face of a storm? How do we follow our heart and engage in the practice of being real as we make the courageous journey toward wholeness? And, how do we meet adversity, and challenge from a place of love vs. fear? These are the three chapters of our conversation, and the big questions we will engage together. If this conversation sparks your curiosity and you'd like to explore these themes further, I would highly encourage you to pick up a copy of Mark's book Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity.

What if there is a possibility of tapping into a heightened awareness of the world around you and your place in it? A possibility of moving from an achievement orientation, where so often the questions center around what do I want and how can I  get it?To a more expansive, open and receptive way of relating to our experience as human beings? Today's guest will is Dr. Lisa Miller. She's a psychologist, a scientist, and a professor at Columbia University, and in her extraordinary book The Awakened Brain, she explores these questions and ideas in-depth. What she will reveal in this conversation (and more thoroughly in her book)  is that humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality, and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. Through her wonderful storytelling (which you will hear a lot of today) she will offer profounds insights into the surprising science of spirituality, and how to engage some of the lessons from her groundbreaking work practically in our lives.Today's conversation is deep, wide-ranging, and may be the most personal I've had on the show yet.In the first half of the episode: Lisa will share some of her story of trying to have a child. She will openly  describe many of the struggles  her and her husband faced with infertility, and a most unexpected, but beautiful turn of events that led to ultimately adopting their son. I will also share some of my own story of being adopted, as well as the challenges my wife and I  faced with having a child of our own.From a planned perspective this interview went off the rails as we shared our stories back and forth for the first 25 minutes or so, and you'll hear us laugh about that later in the conversation, but as Lisa so aptly reminded me many times - so often plans can go awry and letting them do so, by loosening the grip of trying to control things, is actually a step toward awakening. In the latter part of the interview you'll hear more about:The two modes of awareness (achieving and awakened awareness) that Lisa has mapped in our brains through her fascinating work in neuroscienceHow to tap into awakened awareness and be in dialogue with your lifeThe many ways of knowing (logic, empiricism, mysticism, and intuition) and the validity of them allHow adversity can often be the doorway to growth and transformation.The role of spirituality in medicine, clinical treatment, and healing A guided meditation she's used with thousands of people. If you'd like you can participate yourself during the episode. Or if you'd prefer to do the practice later you can find it here: Practicing Courage #15: Being in dialogue with your lifeAnd more!More about Lisa:Lisa Miller, Ph.D., is the New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University.

We're delving into a topic that resonates deeply with many women - a phenomenon known as the 'good girl' complex or sometimes referred to as the 'good girl syndrome.' This is a concept that has permeated our culture and society, and it paints a very specific picture of how women 'should' behave.When societal expectations are imposed to such a stringent and uncompromising degree, that they begin to feel less like guidelines and more like chains is when these qualities, that may very well be good ones, become a problem. When the desire to please others overshadows one's own needs and desires, then we're navigating in the territory of the 'good girl' syndromeThe 'good girl' complex impacts our  lives, our mental health, relationships, careers, and yes, our experience with our sexuality. But how does it specifically impact our ability to experience more pleasure? Listen in and find out.What You'll Learn from this Episode:What actually is the definition of the ‘good girl' complex and how it differs from very attractive qualitiesHow rebelling directly against the good girl guidelines isn't necessarily the way to find your authentic truthWays in which the good girl complex impacts our ability to access pleasure that directly and indirectly have to do with sexualityWhat is on the other side of the good girl shacklesFeatured on the Show:FRESH your free mini-course to create novelty with your longtime lover: https://www.daniellesavory.com/join-freshGot topic ideas?
