Hey y'all. This week, we're talking about one of my favorite topics: planners and systems! If you've ever had a drawer full of half-used planners or too many digital apps that promised to “fix your life,” this one's for you. I'm diving into why we've been taught to chase control—and what happens when we trade that for connection instead. In this episode, I'm sharing my personal journey from over-optimizing everything to creating softer, more flexible systems that actually make space for joy and presence. I'll walk you through how to align your tools with your values and energy so your days feel grounded, not boxed in. By the end, you'll see your planner and routines in a whole new way. It's not about doing more—it's about feeling more you. So grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let's rethink what it means to plan with purpose.

Dan Newby is a global leader in emotional literacy and the creator of Emotions-Centered Coaching. With over 7,000 hours of coaching experience, he has dedicated his career to helping leaders and changemakers around the world turn emotions into powerful, everyday tools for transformation. Dan is the author of four books on emotional literacy and regularly leads his signature Emotions-Centered Coaching course for “people who support people” — including leaders, therapists, educators, faith leaders, and parents. Before devoting himself to coaching, Dan spent 25 years in private business, including as CEO, and later served as COO, CEO, and Senior Course Leader at Newfield Network Coach Training School. Today, he and his partner Lucy Núñez, lead the School of Emotions and Dignity Inc., which focuses on fostering dignity in policing and leadership. In this episode, host Shay Beider and Dan Newby explore how emotional literacy can transform the way we understand ourselves and connect with others. Dan defines emotions as “what moves us” and powerful sources of energy with their own narratives, impulses, and purposes. He shares his journey on learning to name and articulate his emotions, and offers practical tools like expanding our emotional vocabulary, noticing and naming emotions throughout the day, and distinguishing subtle differences. The duo highlight resources such as the Emotional Regulation Assessment, the Emote app, and Emotional Flash Cards, all aimed at building emotional agility and resilience. Dan shares some of his personal experiences and illustrates how allowing emotions to flow without attachment and consciously choosing emotions like optimism and hope can lead to greater well-being. Ultimately, Dan encourages us to see emotions as dynamic forces we can shape, helping us live more whole, connected, and intentional lives.

When the church was birthed on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, they had no strategy or technique for changing the world. They just wanted to worship Jesus—together. They prayed. They sang. They rejoiced. They grew. They ate. All together. They had a shared devotion, a shared life, and a shared mission. And revival broke out. That's not a formula for revival (God laughs at our formulas). But it is a beautiful life. It is a powerful life. It is a connected life. And as it turns out, it's also God's design for a healthy Christian Community. Are you connected—to God, to others, to His mission?

What if the key to spiritual growth isn't trying harder—but learning how to feel safe, seen, and loved? In this episode, Doug and Janet sit down with psychologist and author Dr. Todd Hall for a powerful conversation about attachment, transformation, and the kind of love that reshapes your life. Together, they explore how our early relational patterns affect not just our parenting and marriage—but our relationship with God. You'll learn: How to recognize attachment patterns that keep you stuck Why behavior doesn't change until your nervous system feels safe How to respond to your child's big emotions without losing connection What it means to “abide” when your body has only known striving How presence and proximity—not pressure—create lasting transformation Whether you're a parent, pastor, or someone on a healing journey, this episode is full of practical tools and new language that will help you move from disconnection to security. “Transformation isn't about performing better. It's about being seen, loved, and known—especially in the places we've learned to hide.” About Dr. Todd Hall:  Dr. Hall is the author of The Connected Life and a leading voice in the field of relational spirituality. A psychologist and professor at Biola University, his work helps people understand how love, attachment, and emotional presence are central to both healing and discipleship. Favorite Takeaways: You're not broken. You're reacting to what your body learned was normal. Correction is a gift of love—but connection must come first. The nervous system can't receive truth when it's overwhelmed. Spiritual formation is relational, not a list of disciplines. Parents shape their children's view of God through emotional safety.

In today's world, we're facing a connection crisis. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, many people feel a deep sense of loneliness and disconnection. This crisis has been amplified by the pandemic, leading to increased stress and mental health issues. But what's at the root of this connection crisis, and how does it impact our spiritual lives? Cultivating deep growth is a lifelong journey that requires intentional effort and engagement. By immersing ourselves in Scripture, practicing contemplative prayer, and connecting deeply with others, we create the conditions for spiritual transformation. As we tend to our souls and allow ourselves to be deeply known and loved, we will flourish and bear fruit that lasts. May we find joy and meaning in the process, trusting that God is at work in us, growing us from the inside out.   WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:

Today on Men Talking Mindfulness, we explore self-discovery and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model with Dr. Seth Kolpal, IFS practitioner and author of Self-Led: Living a Connected Life with Yourself and Others. Dr. Seth explains the idea of the self as a "sun" obscured by "cloud" parts, introducing the 13 key ingredients of self—including the eight C's (like compassion and clarity) and the five P's (such as patience and playfulness). Through a live demonstration, he guides Jon in connecting with his inner child, revealing insecurities behind his work ethic and the importance of approaching all parts with compassion. Dr. Seth highlights IFS as a framework for creating harmony within, rooted in ancient wisdom, and as a powerful tool for self-love, healing, and connection.
