Podcasts about daily rituals

The Benefits of Matcha for Women in Menopause: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the potential benefits of matcha for women going through menopause. She explains how matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, offers higher concentrations of antioxidants, amino acids, and phytonutrients compared to regular green tea. These properties can help support cognitive function, mood stabilization, cardiovascular health, and weight management. The episode also touches on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, emphasizing an anti-inflammatory diet, regular exercise, restful sleep, and meaningful social connections. Leyla highlights how simple daily rituals, such as enjoying a cup of matcha, can provide emotional grounding and routine for women navigating menopause.

This week we're closing out the year with the moments that shaped 2025; the trends that genuinely made a difference, the habits that stuck and the simple rituals our whole community kept coming back to. From red light masks and fibre-maxxing to the wellness shifts that actually felt doable, we're sharing what mattered most and why it resonated. We're also diving into your end-of-year questions, from navigating UPFs and building easy plant-forward meals to creating cosy evening rituals and figuring out which habits are really worth prioritising. It's a practical, honest look at what helped us feel grounded this year and the small anchors we're taking with us into 2026. Grab your copy of Ella's new book 'Quick Wins' - out today!

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're living on autopilot? This episode is for you.Today on the Secrets of Supermom Show, I'm joined by Dr. Danielle McGeough—professor, mom, recovering overachiever, and creator of the Stuck Assessment at PlanGoalPlan.com.

What if the story you tell yourself about being “not smart enough” is just a bad fit between your brain and a test format? We open up about growing up with the quiet fear of not measuring up, the panic of multiple-choice exams, and the surprising relief that came from changing the way questions were asked. When the puzzle layer fell away, knowledge finally had room to show up—no extra genius required, just a fairer way to think and respond.From there, we explore learning differences without shame: how timing, ambiguity, and test-maker intent can derail capable minds, and how accommodations like oral exams and extended time aren't shortcuts but bridges to accuracy. Carmen shares a small, luminous practice—the toothbrushing smile—that acts like a daily reset. It sounds simple because it is: look in the mirror, smile for real, and watch your nervous system unclench. That tiny habit makes it easier to greet strangers with warmth, to start softer, and to carry less static into the day.The conversation turns on a phrase that finally landed: be not afraid. A client with power and status reflected Carmen's strengths back to her until they stuck. That mirror—of competence, kindness, and calm under pressure—reframed worth beyond grades, titles, and money. We talk about the mask of “behave as if,” why many of us wear it, and how confidence shifts from performance to alignment when we stop trying to decode other people's expectations and start honoring our own wiring.If you've ever felt small in classrooms, meetings, or social circles, this story invites you to audit your beliefs: Who taught you them? Do they serve you now? Try the smile ritual, ask for the format that lets your mind work, and practice be not afraid in small, brave steps. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a kinder story about intelligence, and leave a review so more listeners can find their way here.Thank you for stopping by.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Andrew Huberman has been in classic form, blending lab-coat seriousness with lifestyle shock value in ways that will likely stick to his biography long after this news cycle fades. According to Huberman Lab, he released a new long-form episode with legendary choreographer Twyla Tharp titled Master the Creative Process, a two and a half hour conversation tying neuroscience to artistic discipline, daily rituals, and the mechanics of sustained creativity. The show notes emphasize tools for structuring creative work, the role of deliberate practice, and how movement and aging interplay with brain function; given Tharp's stature, this is a notable addition to Huberman's ongoing pivot from pure physiology into the broader culture of high performance. Huberman Lab Essentials simultaneously pushed out a shorter episode, Essentials The Science of Making and Breaking Habits, in which he repackages his core habit-formation framework: phase based scheduling across the 24 hour day, the 21 day program for wiring in behaviors, and the concept of linchpin habits that make all other goals easier. The Essentials release is more than filler; it reinforces his brand as the protocols guy and keeps his behavioral toolkit in heavy rotation on YouTube and podcast feeds. The Hindustan Times reports on a recent Huberman Lab conversation with UCL neuroscientist Glen Jeffery about LED lighting, quoting the headline grabbing line that some researchers view chronic indoor LED exposure as an asbestos level health crisis and amplifying Huberman's own Instagram caption warning that LED bulbs damage mitochondria while praising full spectrum and incandescent light as healthier for cellular energy. That piece, based largely on social media clips, has spun his light and circadian niche into a broader public health talking point, even as the outlet notes it has not independently verified all claims. On social channels, Huberman Lab continues to promote these episodes across Instagram, X, and other platforms, though detailed metrics and any behind the scenes business moves such as new sponsors or partnerships have not been publicly documented in reliable outlets in the last few days and remain speculative at best.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Have you ever noticed that one powerful weekend can shift the entire trajectory of your life? That's exactly what happened at the Optimized Life Mastermind I co-hosted at my brother Ben Greenfield's biohacker compound in Idaho. And in this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down my biggest takeaways from that experience through the lens of what I call the 5 F's: Family, Fitness, Faith, Finances, and Fun.If you don't already know Ben, he's basically a walking encyclopedia of high-performance living. New York Times bestselling author, top-tier health and fitness podcaster, former “World's Fittest Man,” supplement founder, coach, entrepreneur, and honestly, just one of the most intentional humans I've ever spent time with. Hosting 20 high-performing entrepreneurs at his home for three and a half days, sharing meals, workouts, masterminds, and late-night deep dives, gave me a front row seat to how he actually lives his optimized life. And I'm pulling back the curtain for you.One of the biggest lessons came from watching Ben lead his family intentionally. He designs an environment where connection isn't optional—it's built in. Morning huddles, evening prayers, tech-free dinners, shared hobbies… all of it creates a home that breathes life into everyone inside it. Research backs it up, too: families with consistent rituals experience higher satisfaction and lower long-term stress. My takeaway? Rituals matter. Even one intentional daily practice, gratitude, prayer, a morning walk, can anchor your entire household.On the fitness front, training with Ben is no joke. The man is a machine. But what struck me most wasn't the intensity. it was the simplicity. Micro-movements: 1-minute mobility, pull-ups between tasks, deep hangs, air squats, brisk walks on calls. Movement snacks, as he calls them. Layer in cold exposure, sunlight, and strength training, and your body becomes a high-performing feedback loop. I came home committed to implementing these simple but powerful movement bursts every day.And then there's faith. Ben calls spiritual fitness the ultimate edge, and I couldn't agree more. His days are rooted in devotion, scripture, worship, and deep conversation. Studies show spiritual practices reduce anxiety and increase emotional resilience, but for Ben, it's more than data; it's an operating system. My biggest takeaway? Stack spirituality into your existing habits. One scripture. One reflection. One prayer. Five minutes. Every day.On the financial side, Ben reminded me that wealth isn't just what you earn, it's what you systematize. Weekly financial reviews, automated investments, intentional giving, and simplifying your income structures create freedom, clarity, and creativity. And that quote he shared? “When God blesses you with wealth, don't build a higher fence, build a longer table.” That's how I want to live.And finally, fun. Joy is not optional. It's strategic. Watching Ben integrate adventure, hobbies, and play into his weekly rhythm was a powerful reminder that fun fuels fulfillment. Whether it's frisbee golf, cooking wild food, family game nights, bow hunting, or spontaneous adventures, fun is woven into the culture of his home. I left with a renewed commitment to schedule joy, not just hope for it.This mastermind wasn't just about health hacks or business tactics. It was about alignment. Humanity. Connection. And the realization that a truly optimized life isn't just built, it's lived, day by day, ritual by ritual, breath by breath.If you want the full experience, all the stories, all the insights, and a deeper dive into how you can implement these 5 F's in your own life, tune in to the full episode. I promise you, there's at least one golden nugget in here that could shift everything for you.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Tara & Adheer — founders of Nytarra — reveal the hidden truth about agarbattis, perfumes, and room fresheners in Indian homes. What are we really breathing in every day?From agarbattis and room fresheners to perfumes and sprays, this episode exposes what most of us never question: how “clean smell” often hides VOCs, toxins, and mood-altering chemicals. They unpack the science of scent — how it connects to the limbic system, shapes how we feel, and how simple, natural swaps can protect your space without giving up the rituals you love.What you'll learn: • Why smell shapes your emotions and memory more than you realize • The surprising facts about incense, air fresheners, and perfume • How to spot red flags on product labels • Simple, clean alternatives that still honour ritual and cultureChapters:00:00 The Hidden Dangers of Common Household Products00:40 Meet the Founders of Nytarra: Tara and Adheer00:58 Understanding Aromatherapy and Its Benefits01:48 The Journey of Creating Nytarra03:10 The Science Behind Aromatherapy04:17 Personal Stories and Experiences with Aromatherapy09:15 DIY Aromatherapy Tips and Tricks17:16 The Role of Nytarra During Life's Challenges19:45 Daily Rituals for a Balanced Life20:56 Yoga and Morning Routine22:15 Harmful Household Products25:43 Natural Alternatives and Traditions30:57 Business Challenges and Growth32:15 Empowering Women Through Employment33:29 Balancing Business and Personal Life36:04 Rapid Fire Questions38:02 Future Goals and VisionAbout the guests:Tara & Adheer are the husband–wife founders of Nytarra, an Indian clean-fragrance and aromatherapy brand blending science, sustainability, and soul.Join the conversation:What scents do you use at home — and will you still see them the same way after this?

Manifestation isn't broken, you just need better tools.In this episode, Mia Magik joins me to flip the script on everything you think you know about creating the life you want. Forget the vision boards for a second. Mia's approach is rooted in healing, not just hoping. She explains why manifesting love starts with examining where you're being unloving, and why calling in abundance means looking at your scarcity patterns.We discuss the physical toll of consuming true crime and drama-filled content, the proven science of water holding intention, and simple kitchen rituals that turn your daily routine into a manifestation practice. Mia also opens up about her own journey through relationship struggles, self-betrayal, and finding her way back to her power through some seriously uncomfortable inner work.This conversation touches on the Sacred Rage Ritual, why women's anger is revolutionary, and Mia's current explorations with Tantra as a tool for understanding power, surrender, and healing. Whether you're new to manifestation or your practice has gone stale, this episode offers practical wisdom you can use today.Connect with Mia: https://miamagik.com/Mia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miamagik/Link to sign up for Mia's Retreats: https://miamagik.com/2025retreatrooms/Link to purchase Mia's book: IntuWitchinConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

Text us, PsyclithidsSession Zero isn't just about rolling stats and swapping backstories—it's the primary emotional regulation tool for your group. In this episode of The Dungeons, Dragons, and Psychology Podcast, we dive into why Session Zero matters so much, and how it sets the tone for your entire campaign.We'll explore:Player Contracts: Setting clear expectations for behavior and table norms.Aligning Expectations: Making sure everyone's on the same page about tone, style, and play focus.Safety Tools: How tools like the X-card and emotional check-ins act as guardrails to keep play fun and safe.The Art of the Break: Why stepping away from the table is one of the most powerful conflict-resolution tools you have.Plus, in Tricks of the Trade, I'll share actionable steps for both players and DMs to strengthen collaboration, prevent burnout, and keep the story immersive.Because at the end of the day, conflict belongs in the narrative—not between the people around the table.

Morning Mantra: "We are what we repeatedly do."Your daily rituals are not small things. Every thought you think, every emotion you allow, every piece of media you consume, every environment you place yourself in are quiet conversations you have with your future self. None of it's just passing time, it's all laying bricks in the foundation of you. Of who you are and who you are becoming. The life you dream of isn't built in grand gestures, it's shaped in the repetition of what you choose to honor each day. The truth is, you're always rehearsing something- an old story or a new one. Your rituals decide which. So choose like your future is listening. Because it is.What daily rituals help you stay grounded?#BeAwareOfYourRituals#BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#inspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire

Text us, PsyclithidsWhat happens to an adventurer after the dragon burns their village, or when they fail to save an innocent life? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of defense mechanisms—the unconscious strategies people use to protect themselves from overwhelming stress—and explore how they can shape roleplay at the table.Drawing from the work of Sigmund Freud and Anna Freud, we'll unpack four core defenses—repression, denial, rationalization, and projection—and show how they can bring depth and realism to your characters. You'll hear practical examples of how both players and Dungeon Masters can weave these coping strategies into their games to create more immersive, emotionally resonant storytelling.Plus, in the Tricks of the Trade segment, we'll break down how to use in-character defense mechanisms in subtle, believable ways that enhance immersion without slowing the pace of play.Whether you're a player looking to breathe life into your character's trauma or a DM wanting to design encounters that challenge the party on more than just hit points, this episode will give you the tools to make your game world feel more human—and more unforgettable.

Text us, PsyclithidsIs the bard's silver tongue just a fun game mechanic, or does it reflect real-world psychology? In this episode of The Dungeons, Dragons, and Psychology Podcast, we explore the fascinating connection between the bard's abilities and the science of persuasion, charisma, and social influence.We'll break down key psychological principles like reciprocity, liking, authority, and social proof, and connect them directly to bardic abilities such as Bardic Inspiration, Charm Person, and Hypnotic Pattern. Along the way, we'll discuss why communication—even with NPCs—can transform your game world into a living, breathing story.Finally, I'll share practical tips for bringing bardic charisma into your own life: how to listen actively, find common ground, and master your confidence both at the table and in the real world.Whether you're a bard main or just want to level up your influence, this episode will inspire you to see the bard in a whole new light.✨ Ways to Support the Show:

Text us, PsyclithidsHave you ever made a choice for your D&D character that felt like a betrayal? You know, when your Lawful Good Paladin lies, or your nature-loving Ranger fells a sacred tree?

If you tend to spend all your time (and energy) taking care of everyone and everything else, while putting your own self-care on the back burner, join the club!In this episode, I speak with Kelley Grimes, MSW, counselor, self-nurturing expert, and bestselling author, about how to nurture and care for ourselves, without feeling guilty or selfish.Kelley shares her journey from being a professional caregiver and devoted mom who constantly put everyone else first, to hitting burnout and learning the power of prioritizing her own well-being and joy.She shares practical steps and mindset shifts to weave simple, joyful self-care into our everyday lives….Guilt-free. Key Takeaways:Self-nurturing doesn't mean you're choosing yourself over others.Start small. Tiny acts of self-compassion can build real momentum and ease guilt.Reframe your inner dialogue and focus on progress not perfection."The gift of self nurturing is that we know ourselves more. We can express more of what's in ourselves. Our creativity, our authenticity, all of those beautiful parts that are our unique gifts to the world and that keeps evolving." - Kelley GrimesHighlights 06:38 Cultivating Joy10:53 Daily Rituals to Manage Stress23:51 Prioritizing Self-Care Even When You're Busy27:06 Tools for Self-Nurturing Important Links

Today Chris raises the question expressed in the title of this episode. Enthusiasts for Artificial Intelligence promise that chatbots will make everyone more efficient and productive--even novelists and scholars. But is that really possible considering what history's most famous creatives tell us about how they went about their work? People who've looked into their daily routines such as Oliver Burkeman (author of, Four Thousand Weeks, Time Management for Mortals) and Mason Currey (author of, Daily Rituals) inform us that people like Charles Darwin and Flannery O'Connor only worked 3 to 4 hours a day on the things we remember them for. The rest of the time they did other things--mostly unrelated. So, would they have gotten more done with the help of artificial intelligence? The Pugs have their doubts. Tune in and find out why.

This episode reveals the ancient health protocols Western medicine forgot, and how they are now being used to heal stress, rewire the nervous system, and radically improve human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Mona Sharma, a renowned Ayurvedic practitioner, celebrity wellness expert, and functional medicine advocate who grew up in a Canadian ashram. Mona combines ancient Vedic practices with cutting-edge science to help her clients, including Will Smith and other high-profile figures, achieve high performance, emotional resilience, and deep-rooted healing. She translates the 5,000-year-old system of Ayurveda into practical strategies anyone can use to optimize health in today's chaotic world. Together, they explore how Ayurvedic biohacking techniques like breathwork, circadian alignment, detoxification, and herbal medicine are now being validated by data in neuroscience, mitochondrial biology, and functional medicine. They also dive into trauma, stress rewiring, nervous system resilience, and how to build your own modern “ashram” for healing and longevity. You'll learn how to shift from hypervigilance into calm, how to optimize vagal tone, and how ancient practices like tongue scraping and ghee detox intersect with modern tools like cold therapy, nootropics, sleep optimization, and self-quantification. If you care about biohacking, neurohacking, longevity, or want to understand how emotional states shape mitochondrial function, this episode is packed with grounded insight and powerful takeaways. It offers a masterclass in approaching health through both spiritual and systems biology perspectives, while avoiding burnout and noise. You'll also hear how Mona: • Reversed her own heart condition after failed surgeries and medication • Guides high-stress clients using Ayurvedic principles and modern lab testing • Connects vagal nerve stimulation, breathwork, and emotional detox for lasting nervous system regulation • Uses personalized nutrition, pulse reading, and lifestyle upgrades to treat the root cause • Brings ancient healing into modern wellness spaces like Upgrade Labs This is essential listening for anyone exploring Smarter Not Harder protocols, blending functional medicine with high-level biohacking, and finding sustainable ways to enhance vitality without relying on pharmaceuticals or performance fads. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.
