Doing good for others benefits our own minds and bodies, as well. We explore the science of kindness.Summary: On this episode of The Science of Happiness we explore how everyday acts of kindness strengthen our sense of connection and belonging, and why our brains are built to feel good when we support others. Drawing from both research and lived experience, we examine how even small gestures can reduce anxiety, increase purpose, and ripple outward through our communities. We also look at why kindness flourishes when it's spontaneous and genuine, and how practicing it can open us to deeper presence, vulnerability, and joy.How To Do This Practice: Set an intention: Take a moment each evening to reflect on the day ahead and choose a general theme for how you want to show kindness. Like offering gratitude, being more present, or supporting someone who comes to mind. Keep it flexible: Rather than creating a rigid checklist, identify a few broad “buckets” of kindness so you can let opportunities arise naturally. Notice moments to connect: As you move through your day, look for organic openings to offer warmth. Whether through a sincere compliment, a helpful gesture, or simply slowing down to truly listen. Act on what feels genuine: Choose gestures that feel authentic to you and appropriate to the moment, aiming for sincerity over perfection. Reflect briefly: At the end of the day, jot down the acts you did and how they felt—for you and for others—paying attention to small emotional shifts or moments of connection. Stay gentle with yourself: If you miss a moment or a day feels off, reset without judgment; the practice is about cultivating awareness and kindness, not completing a task list.

What if longevity wasn't about adding more to your routine, but about helping your body do what it's already designed to do? Today on Rooted in Wellness, I'm joined by Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, to explore how stem cells, cellular repair, and resilience actually work in the body. We discuss why recovery shifts as we age, the role of inflammation in slowing regeneration, and how simple lifestyle rhythms like movement, sleep in true darkness, fasting, and circadian alignment create the internal environment for healing. We also look at senolytics, autophagy, and stem cell support through a grounded, science-informed lens that feels accessible rather than extreme. This is the bridge we love on this show: emerging research meeting practical daily life. Dan Pardi leads health strategy and research at Qualia Life Sciences, where he focuses on supporting the body's natural repair systems through education, systems-level formulation, and a healthspan-first approach. His work blends emerging science with real-world application to help people feel well longer.

Grief is a rollercoaster—and for children, the ride can be unpredictable. In this heartfelt episode, CHC experts, Karly Crockett, LCSW, and Rachel O'Harra, LMFT explore how kids experience loss within the family system and why grief should be shared, not silent. They unpack how grief shows up at different developmental stages—from toddlers to teens—and share real examples of what to say (and what to avoid) when talking to kids about death and loss. You'll learn how to support children through emotions that ebb and flow, from confusion to anger to moments of calm, and how your own grief as a caregiver can shape theirs. Because when caregivers make space for a child's feelings, they build connection, resilience, and hope that lasts a lifetime.Resources:CHC OnlineCHC's Catherine T.

Most people don't fail at getting healthy because they don't care. They fail because they're following the wrong advice. In this episode, I sit down with Anthony William, the Medical Medium, to talk about why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling like crap. We get into how stress, overtesting, and over-supplementing can backfire, and why simplicity beats every hack. He shares how metals in the brain can fuel issues like OCD and ADHD, the five foods he swears by for detox and recovery, and why celery juice became more than just a trend. We also talk about what people get wrong about protein, clean eating, and chasing “optimization.” Whether you love him or question him, this conversation will make you stop and rethink what being healthy really means. Anthony William is the founder of the global celery juice movement and a #1 New York Times best-selling author known for his Medical Medium book series. Since the age of four, he has said he receives health insights from what he calls the Spirit of Compassion, helping people improve their well-being through a more intuitive approach. What we discuss: (05:42) Why “healthy” habits might actually be keeping you sick (13:10) The hidden downside of overtesting (24:57) How the Medical Medium was trained by a voice since childhood (28:45) The real reason you feel tired even when you “do everything right” (44:02) How heavy metals in the brain may trigger OCD and ADHD symptoms (1:11:59) The five foods Anthony swears by for real detox and recovery (01:17:57) Why protein isn't the miracle nutrient you think it is (01:23:39) The truth behind celery juice and why it became a global movement (01:26:11) Why Anthony turned down Hollywood deals and the “health celebrity” circuit Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

The passage begins with a moment of personal sorrow for Jesus, for He has just received news of the death of John the Baptist. We see that Jesus “withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself” (verse 13). Yet even in His grief, we observe the unrelenting love and compassion of Christ. When the crowds follow Him, “He saw a great crowd, and He had compassion on them” (verse 14). Notice that Jesus does not dismiss the crowds or send them away. Instead, He takes pity on them, healing their sick and addressing their physical and spiritual needs.

In their third session, Zach shifts focus from reparenting the self to rebuilding trust, compassion, and connection in real time. The couple begins by reflecting on the chaos of parenting two neurodivergent children and how exhaustion, overwhelm, and constant caregiving have reshaped their marriage. The wife shares that while parenting has deep purpose and spiritual meaning, it also leaves her feeling “brought to her knees.” The husband expresses gratitude for their new home in Lisbon and admiration for her recent self-care efforts—but his words about “having more respect” land in a complicated way. What unfolds next is a layered conversation about respect versus compassion—how differently each experiences and defines those words, and how love can be both abundant and still “not land.” The wife reveals her fear that her “bucket has a hole”—that trauma keeps love from staying inside. The husband wrestles with the feeling of being both compassionate and exhausted. Zach guides them toward clarity: that differences in meaning, experience, and emotional wiring don't mean disconnection—they're invitations to co-create a shared vocabulary of care. By the end, the trio lands on a metaphor for healing: building an inner “city with a well and garden”. A healthy place inside the self where gratitude, curiosity, and compassion can grow. From there, they imagine a next step; ten intentional days of small, mutual choices to create a shared sense of safety and hope. Key Takeaways Parenting exposes purpose and pressure – Raising neurodivergent kids has deepened their sense of mission but also stretched their capacity for joy. Respect and compassion can get tangled – The husband's expression of regained respect triggers the wife's old shame wounds, revealing how love languages can misfire even when intentions are good. Compassion must land – It's not about whether compassion exists, but whether it's experienced and felt. Trauma leaves “holes in the bucket” – The wife describes how past pain can make love hard to hold, even when it's generously offered. Shame cycles need space – Zach helps her imagine creating a small pause between shame and reaction—a mindful sliver that grows with practice. Safety over sameness – Each partner's version of health looks different, but the shared goal is to meet in a “healthy place,” not to drag the other toward one definition. Gratitude and agency go together – The husband learns that his peace can't depend on her choices; it must come from cultivating gratitude within himself. Ten-day goals – They agree to take small, concrete steps—ten days at a time—to make life together a little “more good” and a little “less bad.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Richard Boyatzis, joins Dr. Bradley Block to unpack why even accomplished physicians often lose their sense of meaning mid-career. Drawing from his Intentional Change Theory, Dr. Boyatzis explains that fulfillment dips every 7–10 years as part of our natural life cycle — what he calls liminality, the space between “what was” and “what's next.” The fix isn't distraction (real estate, side gigs, or skydiving), but rediscovering your vision — your “ideal self” — and aligning daily work with your true values.He warns against the trap of coaching for compliance — trying to fix patients (or yourself) through fear and goals. Instead, focus on coaching with compassion — inspiring sustained change through purpose, gratitude, and hope. Physicians, he says, thrive when they reconnect to why they entered medicine: to help, heal, and matter. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and humor, Dr. Boyatzis offers a practical roadmap for reigniting passion without abandoning your profession — whether that means teaching, mentoring, volunteering, or simply reframing success through renewed purpose.Three Actionable Takeaways:Revisit Your Vision Every 7–10 Years:  Midlife restlessness isn't failure — it's biology. Reflect on your ideal self by asking, “If my life were fantastic 10–15 years from now, what would it look like?” Write it down, talk it out, and use it to guide new choices in work and life.Coach (and Care) with Compassion, Not Compliance: Patients — and physicians — change through hope, not fear. Replace “If you don't…” warnings with vision-driven goals (“What do you want to live for?”). Shared purpose boosts motivation, treatment adherence, and well-being.Recharge with Purposeful Connection: Gratitude and positive storytelling aren't fluff — they activate the parasympathetic system and restore energy. Start meetings or days with one uplifting story, or jot three things you're grateful for. It rewires stress into meaning. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!Dr. Richard Boyatzis is a Distinguished University Professor at Case Western Reserve University and one of the world's most cited scholars on emotional intelligence, leadership, and behavior change. Co-author of Primal Leadership and Helping People Change, his latest book, The Science of Change, distills decades of research into how individuals and organizations achieve sustained transformation.

In this talk Mary emphasized the importance of being connected to our body and the wisdom it contains. When we live in our heads, we can get stuck in views and perceptions and we miss out on the experience of the moment. The Buddha said that the world is in this fathom-long body, not just in our heads. Being connected allows us to live with a wise heart.Recorded Nov. 15, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

What happens when compassion, strength, and military medicine collide?In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Kat Landa, a Navy emergency physician whose career has taken her from a nontraditional path in medical school to a groundbreaking role as the first female battalion doctor assigned to a Marine Corps artillery unit.Kat recounts her childhood working in nursing homes, discovering medicine through geriatrics, and initially matching into family medicine before realizing her passion for emergency medicine. Her story takes a dramatic turn when she is unexpectedly assigned to 29 Palms as the first woman integrated into a previously all-male combat arms battalion—an environment shaped by intense hierarchy, alpha culture, and unspoken rules.She shares vividly, the shock of Marines lining up with “testicular pain” to see the new female doctor, navigating sexism, boundaries, and expectations to be the battalion's “warm fuzzy”, the emotional labor women physicians disproportionately shoulder, the traumatic burden many Marines carry through TBI, PTSD, and toxic norms, the deep meaning she found advocating for vulnerable service members—sometimes saving lives and how burnout, deployment, and personal crisis pushed her toward meditation and self-reclamation Dr. Landa's journey is raw, insightful, and deeply human, a reminder that leadership requires both backbone and heart, especially when systems aren't built with you in mind.You'll hear how they:Navigate gender bias and male-dominated culture while staying authenticBuild boundaries to survive overwhelming workloads and emotional laborUse compassion strategically—in 45-second doses—to transform patient interactionsAdvocate for Marines suffering from PTSD, TBI, and weight-related stigmaRecover from burnout through meditation, mindful routines, and self-care practicesFind strength in vulnerability and redefine what it means to lead in uniform If you've ever struggled to find your voice in a demanding system, this episode will move you, challenge you, and help you rediscover your center.About the Guest:“At your core, it's still just you—and you have control over you.” – Dr. Kat LandaDr. Kat Landa is a Navy emergency medicine physician whose career spans urgent care, family medicine internship, operational medicine with the Marine Corps, multiple deployments, and emergency department leadership.She was one of the first women assigned to a Marine Corps artillery battalion, where she learned to navigate gender dynamics, advocate for Marines suffering from invisible wounds, and lead with courage and compassion.Her interests include meditation, women's leadership, stress physiology, military wellness, and redefining what it means to thrive in demanding environments.

Revelation 5v8, Psalm 56v8 with Tyler Staton Prayer is where compassion is born. As we pause in the middle of the day, we remember that God not only hears our cries but holds them. In this teaching, we explore how prayer shapes us into people who carry the burdens of others and move toward the world in love. This series invites us to let prayer form every part of life: morning, midday, and evening, shaping our hearts into the likeness of Jesus. https://bridgetown.church/teaching

On this powerful evening, Kris shared a heart-stirring message about the radical compassion of Jesus. Are we extending mercy to both victims AND victimizers? Through personal stories of working with juvenile delinquents and his recent visit to juvenile hall, Kris challenges us to look beyond behavior to see the broken hearts beneath. Jesus wept with Mary at Lazarus's tomb. Knowing He would raise him moments later, he demonstrated to us that compassion isn't weakness but a revolutionary Kingdom value. When we understand people's stories, our judgment turns to mercy. Listen in as Kris shares how God is awakening compassion in His church for the immigrant, the prisoner, and those society has written off.

This week we're discussing The Truth We Don't Want to Face.  When betrayal, ongoing conflict, or a child's escalating behavior keeps reopening old wounds, it's easy to reduce people to their worst moments. That mindset feels protective, yet it shrinks our capacity for peace, models bitterness to our kids, and keeps us tethered to pain. Marissa Lee, author and single parent, joins Robert and Elizabeth to unpack how learning to separate a person's worth from their actions helps us heal, set clearer boundaries, and stay grounded in dignity—ours and theirs. Today, we cover three main points: Contempt dehumanizes. What contempt looks like, how it spreads in our homes and culture, and why it leaves relationships stuck. Compassion expands our capacity. How extending dignity to others softens the shame within us and frees our energy for what matters. Practical ways to see worth. Simple, repeatable steps to move from judgment to curiosity, from reactivity to agency, including naming our feelings, resetting expectations, and choosing actions that align with our values. Seeing someone's humanity isn't excusing harm—it's refusing to let contempt define you. Curiosity builds bridges; ask "why" before deciding "who" someone is. Your children feel how you speak about the other parent, and honoring their other parent protects your child's sense of self. Boundaries require agency—state what you will do and follow through. Resources Mentioned In This Episode The Gottman Institute – Research from Dr. John Gottman on how contempt is one of the strongest predictors of relationship breakdown. Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff – A book exploring how self-compassion can heal shame and foster emotional resilience. Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend – A guide to setting healthy limits that protect your peace and relationships.

In this deeply personal conversation, I welcome back Will Spencer to discuss our shared journeys to Christianity and the spiritual revival currently unfolding. We begin by connecting over musician Nick Mulvey's recent testimony of faith, which moves us both to tears as we recognize kindred spirits joining the Kingdom of God. Will shares his journey from being what Carl Teichrib calls "Perennial Man" - traveling the world, exploring transformational festivals, and seeking through psychedelics - to finding true peace in scripture. We discuss the challenges of navigating relationships with those still in New Age circles, the importance of genuine repentance versus simple regret, and how Christianity offers complete freedom from the burdens that no amount of therapy or spiritual practice could lift. Will's story of concrete blocks at the bottom of his psyche that dissolved through sanctification beautifully illustrates the peace that surpasses understanding, available to all who come to faith.Will Spencer is an evangelist and adventurer who journeyed from Stanford University and the Dotcom Boom through 30 countries. He's explored spiritual traditions worldwide: from meditation in the Himalayas to ayahuasca retreats in the Amazon. The Lord found him at the Burning Man festival in Nevada. Now he hosts The Will Spencer Podcast and helps rescue men from destructive thinking and find their way to Christ. Follow him on X @renofmen, on YouTube @willspencerpod or via his Linktree.Will Spencer originally appeared on episode 181 of my podcast, From Ayahuasca to Christ: Will Spencer on Escaping the Serpent's Deception. That conversation was one of three (along with 182 and 184) that were censored on Spotify for several weeks due to inane AI copyright flagging issues detailed in episode 187. Fortunately, after extensive advocacy, those episodes have been re-released and are available on Spotify once again; they have remained consistently available on all other audio platforms and YouTube. At this time, I can only hope that the root cause of the issue has been addressed and Spotify will not wrongfully remove any more of my episodes.

This week we continue our journey along The Way of Compassion — stepping deeper into what it means not just to feel compassion, but to build a House of Compassion. Compassion is more than a moment; it's a home. More than a theory; it's our daily story. It's written in every pantry line, every prayer, every volunteer who shows up before dawn and stays long after the last guest leaves. Last week we said compassion begins with people, not programs. This week, we step into what that means: We build together. Because compassion without structure burns out. Structure without compassion dries out. But when grace and structure meet, God builds something that lasts. A house that outlasts a moment. A house that sustains compassion. A house that holds room for transformation — not transaction. We're learning that faithfulness isn't proven in abundance, but in endurance. So we keep serving. We keep showing up. We keep rebuilding. Not because we're married to a model, but because we're married to the mission: His House. His Presence. His Compassion. God is inviting us to build a faithful house of compassion — a house that is Spirit-led, people-shaped, and presence-driven. A house sustained not by outside supply, but by the generosity of the family who calls this home.

Links to Steven Webb's podcast and how you can support his work.Donate paypal.me/stevenwebb or Coffee stevenwebb.ukSteven's courses, podcasts and links: stevenwebb.ukIn this episode I explore a question many people quietly carry. Can you love Jesus and still practise awareness. Can the comfort of Christian faith sit alongside the clarity of Buddhist teaching. Do you have to choose one path or can they both live in the same heart.This conversation begins with the famous poem Footprints in the Sand and widens into a look at what truly carries us when life cracks open. I talk about Sunday school, my favourite childhood hymn, the years when I tried to get rid of all religion, and how awareness eventually softened everything.We touch on the sermon on the Mount, the beauty held in Corinthians thirteen, the voice of the Buddha, and the simple human truth that all wisdom traditions point toward compassion and presence. The episode is really about how to build a spiritual toolbox that actually works, without throwing away the tools that once held you through the hardest nights.If you have ever wondered whether your Christian faith can live peacefully beside meditation and Buddhist ideas, this episode will speak to you.Quotes from the episode“Anything that opens your heart and brings less suffering into the world is worth keeping.”“You do not need to choose between Jesus and awareness. You can hold both. The presence beneath them is the same.”“We suffer when we cling. We grow when we include.”“Whatever carries you in the storms, honour it. Add more tools if they help. Nothing precious needs to be thrown away.”“You can sit with Jesus and the Buddha at the same table. Trust me, they would get along.”Listen to my guided meditationsInner Peace Meditations is linked on the websiteSupport the podcast or buy me a coffeeAll links are at https://stevenwebb.ukTakeaways: In this episode, I explore the intersections between Jesus, Buddhism, and the Bible, sharing my personal journey with spirituality. I reflect on pivotal moments in my life that challenged my beliefs and how I came to appreciate different teachings. The idea that many religious teachings are not new but rather reinterpretations of universal truths is a central theme of my discussion. I emphasize the importance of community and support during difficult times, regardless of religious affiliation or beliefs. Compassion is key, whether in Christianity or Buddhism, and recognizing our shared humanity helps reduce suffering. I encourage listeners to embrace a diverse toolbox of beliefs, integrating various teachings that resonate personally.

Pastor Joshua continues a powerful message about how we must choose to be compassionate over being comfortable if we want to love the way Jesus loves. Luke 10:25-27 New Living Translation25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 Jesus replied, “What does ...

Just as God had compassion for us, we are invited to have compassion for those around us--no matter our differences. In this brief series, let us explore together what it looks like to live compassionate lives. If we really saw the image of God in every person, how might that change our world? This week, Pastor Karla examines the  Levitical law for caring for the poor and what it has to say to us today about caring for our brothers and sisters in need. She discusses the beauty and the pitfalls of the system, and what the system has to say to us about compassion. Compassion means entering into the suffering of others, even when it hurts. Passage: isaiah 53:3–5; Luke 5:17-26 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  Annual Giving Campaign We are currently in our annual giving season at Point Loma Church.

I start by sharing some concepts of the basics of Compassion; edifying moments and our resilience zone, which became lived experiences as I welcomed my sister for a visit last week. Amazonia called me back to this mission of telling her stories in the form of a priceless gift; Amazonia, an extraordinary book by Sebastiáo Salgado. His powerful words and sublime images serve as the perfect preface to the news reports emerging from COP30, contradictory opinions, insufficient action, perhaps too many promises and empty words. The fact is, the indigenous peoples have been left out of the main event and Amazonia continues burning and being decimated. Will we care enough to save the heart of the Earth? Can we, collectively, hold the Majestic Amazon with concern? Can you join me today and hold the Amazon Rainforest within your own heart; with care, wonder and devotion?
