You saw the red flags. You felt the gut punch. And still, you stayed. If you've ever looked back on a relationship and thought, “How did I miss that?”, this episode is for you. Hilary breaks down why smart, high-achieving women override their instincts—not because they're clueless, but because they want love so badly they talk themselves out of what they already know.

Many of us (myself, and many of my clients)have a complicated relationship with ambition. We're high-achieving, smart women who know how to get things done.  But often, that productivity comes at a cost.    Burnout. Disconnection. Operating from hyper-masculine energy that pushes us past our limits. So, after burning out, we swing the other way. The feminine. The reclined, passive, soft energy.  But even in that softness, we start to wonder… Can I still want things? Can I still be ambitious and stay feminine?  Can I burn with desire for something and still honour my body? This episode dives into exactly that tension & how we can hold both.  Because ambition isn't unfeminine.   Success doesn't have to cost us our wellbeing.   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Somatic Self Coaching - free guide  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training

Ever been surrounded by people, but felt painfully alone? It's more common than you think. Loneliness isn't just emotional—it's biological. It triggers the same brain systems as physical pain. If you've been feeling disconnected lately, it's not your fault. Your nervous system is simply trying to protect you.

In this episode, Monica Wisdom explores the importance of finding an aligned community as part of living a soft, purposeful life. Too often, we stay connected out of history, tradition, or guilt, but not alignment. Monica invites listeners to reflect on the people around them and consider: Are these my people, or just the ones I've always known? Through personal stories, cultural insights, and thoughtful critique, this conversation examines how technology, social shifts, and emotional disconnection are shaping our relationships and how we can return to the sacred act of community-building with clarity, care, and gentleness. In This Episode:Why longevity isn't always the same as alignmentHow nostalgia can keep us stuck in old identitiesWhy community rooted in shared direction, not shared history, matters more than everThe impact of digital culture and the loneliness epidemicHow softness invites reconnection, realignment, and soul-rooted belongingMentioned in This Episode:Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation – U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy (2023)[source] Reframe Your Narrative – Audio WorkshopReconnect with your inner voice and reclaim your truth.[audio workshop]The Soft Life Blueprint JournalA guided journal to help you reflect, align, and live with purpose. [journal] Today's LifeCode™ Questions:You don't have to walk alone.

Marriage disconnection often stems from three powerful yet hidden forces: self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and self-absorption that create patterns of isolation within relationships.• Self-reliance tricks us into thinking we must figure everything out alone• Self-sufficiency creates the false belief that having needs is weakness• Self-absorption naturally follows when we focus only on our own experiences• Codependent family backgrounds often teach us it's unsafe to need others• Daily FANOS exercise helps couples practice healthy interdependence (Feelings, Affirmation, Needs, Ownership, Struggle/Sobriety)• Recovery from "independence addiction" requires vulnerability and confession• Creating safe spaces to express needs transforms relationship dynamics• Community support is essential for marriage growth and healing• True connection emerges when we accept our design as relational beingsIf you're looking for support on your marriage journey, join me for Breakthrough, my couples communication workshop.https://beautifuloutcome.com/retreat-sept-25

And most of us don't even realize it.In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Robert Melillo, one of the top experts in childhood neurological disorders and the founder of the Brain Balance Achievement Centers. He's helped thousands of families—kids and adults—with ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, tics, anxiety, and more… and he's done it all without medication.Dr. Melillo's theory of Functional Disconnection Syndrome is changing the way we think about the brain. He breaks down how imbalances between the brain's hemispheres affect everything from coordination to behavior to gut health. And he shares how we can not only identify these imbalances early, but also correct them, at any age.This one goes deep into brain development, movement, retained reflexes, immune health, and what we seem to be getting wrong about genetics and mental health. Whether you're a parent, practitioner, or just trying to understand your own brain better, this conversation will reframe how you see yourself and others."Movement was the initiation of brains on the planet, and movement is the initiation of brain development in children." ~ Dr. Robert MelilloAbout Dr. Robert Melillo:Dr. Robert Melillo is a clinician, researcher, author, and one of the world's leading experts on neurodevelopmental disorders. With over 30 years of clinical experience, he's best known for founding Brain Balance Centers and creating the Melillo Method, a multidisciplinary approach to rebalancing the brain through movement, nutrition, cognitive stimulation, and more. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and translated into over 18 languages.Connect with Dr. Robert Melillo:- Website: https://www.drrobertmelillo.com - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drrobertmelillo - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drrobertmelillo - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertMelillo/ - The Melillo Method Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/melillo-method-podcast-everything-brain/id1739403876 Mentioned Books: - Disconnected Kids: https://a.co/d/7J1fQUv - Neurobehavioral Disorders of Childhood: https://a.co/d/f0zflym - Autism: The Scientific Truth About Preventing, Diagnosing, and Treating Autism Spectrum Disorders: https://a.co/d/8XlyPFt Connect with Chris Burres:- Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Website: http://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres/

Civilization have in their minds that nature has given permission to consume it. Guests:Tom Lancaster- Altitude Evolution Demarcus Brewster- S33king Knowledge Podcast

It's not rocket science — the system isn't complicated, it's calculated. We're not confused; we're being manipulated. They've got us all by the “you-know-what,” distracted, divided, and drowning in fear. While we argue over ideologies, labels, and illusions of difference, the real power structures remain untouched. Fear keeps us reactive. Disconnection keeps us weak. And as long as we're turned against each other, we'll never turn toward the truth — that unity, awareness, and love are the real threats to control.askhollyhall.comAstrologer Life Coach

They also explore the powerful link between your sacral energy and your entrepreneurial creativity, the secrets hidden in your menstrual cycle, and why understanding your worthiness is the key to unlocking your ability to receive... in the bedroom, your bank account, and every other area of your life. If you're ready to stop living from the neck up and start living a life that feels amazing, this episode is a non-negotiable.

A grim 0-1 loss to worst-in-the-east Montreal has Jake and Trey feeling weary. We gripe, groan, and grasp at straws to understand what has this team, in the words of one prophetic coach, "showing up late to the party." We touch the Third moRailez and talk about aging playmakers and the frustrating gaps left in their wake. And then? We talk about the good stuff. The Freeze-Teens Golden Showdown. The crusading USMNT. The issuance of receipts to the haters. PLUS: a sloppy little precap of Canada Part Two: Canada Returns. Check your pockets before you cross the border — you've got Blue Balls.

In this episode we discuss the pervasive issue of avoidance in relationships. We explore how avoidance manifests as a lack of communication and emotional engagement, leading to disconnection and mistrust. We look at the costs of avoidance, the importance of setting real boundaries, and the detrimental effects of cancel culture on personal growth and relationships. Key Takeaways: Avoidance is a habit that keeps us stuck. Hard conversations are essential for growth and intimacy. Real boundaries require clarity and courage. Cancel culture promotes disconnection instead of dialogue. Avoidance can lead to emotional numbness and self-abandonment. We must face our discomfort to heal effectively. Avoidance often masquerades as self-protection. Engaging in difficult conversations fosters trust and connection. Understanding triggers can lead to personal growth. We all have moments of avoidance; it's part of being human.

In this monthly book club edition of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker is joined by Byrne Hobart of The Diff and Capital Gains to unpack Ray Dalio's latest book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. The pair probe Dalio's sweeping macroeconomic theories, debt cycles, historical analogies, and technology's role in shaping the future. They scrutinize the credibility of Dalio's claims, the real-world implications of sovereign debt risks, and the potential misapplications of macro trading skills to macroeconomic policymaking. The conversation winds through AI's effect on productivity, the staying power of elites through societal upheavals, and even the viability of crypto as a hedge. It's a rich analysis with sharp skepticism and economic nuance._________________________________________________[00:00:00] Podcast and guest introduction[00:01:38] Initial thoughts on Dalio's book[00:05:26] Short vs. long debt cycles[00:06:40] Historical cycle timing critique[00:07:24] Pre-WWI and 1930s comparison[00:10:11] Disconnection between theories and globalization[00:16:25] Institutional trust and economic cycles[00:18:18] Credibility of Dalio's theories[00:21:26] Macro trading vs. macro policy[00:24:42] Trump-era policy implications[00:26:19] Foreign debt selling as signal[00:28:14] Put options in tail events[00:32:35] Buffett's strategic puts example[00:35:32] Technology optimism in final chapter[00:40:25] AI effects on labor, productivity[00:45:43] Older professionals using AI[00:47:00] Book's global bearish stance[00:51:22] Historical elite persistence examples[00:53:45] Bitcoin in crisis scenarios[01:01:54] Sovereign wealth fund proposal critiqueLinks:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

When Your Partner Won't Engage: Breaking the Cycle of Disconnection (Part 2)

Struggling with stress, overwhelm, or feeling out of sync in your space? You might be overdue for a different kind of detox—one that starts with your home, habits, and the unconscious choices shaping your well-being. In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living, host Sophia Ruan Gushée is joined by her colleague and niece, Elizabeth McCormick, to unpack insights from the 40-Day Home Detox masterclass with Heather Lilleston, a clinical psychologist and seasoned yoga teacher. Together, they explore how small shifts in your daily routine, environment, and mindset can help you feel more grounded, supported, and at home—anywhere.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most confronting – but quietly common – questions high-performing women face when intimacy isn't working: Does the lack of sexual connection mean it’s time to leave? This deep-dive isn’t about rushing to separate. It’s about pausing long enough to ask the real questions: About power. Identity. Evolution. And whether your relationship can meet the woman you’re becoming. We unpack how overthinking, hyper-intelligence, and guilt can mute your erotic voice and how emotional intimacy doesn’t begin in the bedroom, but in the everyday moments you’ve learned to override. This is the conversation for the woman who’s done pretending it’s fine.The one who’s holding success in her business…but feeling starved in her relationship. You’ll also hear how Power Couple Suite was created for partnerships who know they’re meant for more and are ready to rise together. We also cover: Why sexual disconnection isn’t always a red flag—but it is a signalWhen intelligence becomes the intimacy killerComing back to your emotional (and erotic) bodyHow intimacy isn’t just about sex—it’s how you live a turned-on life togetherWhat it means to recalibrate your connection without collapsing LINKS:  If this conversation stirred something in you and you want my expert support to help you navigate a challenging time in your relationship, the Power Couple Suite is the intimate immersion for the duo who want the fire, the fulfilment and influence in their bedroom to match what happens in their business and bank accounts... ...And who are ready to meet themselves and each other with truth and Eros leading the way. This is a three month private container with sessions for each of you, both of you, and a private telegram channel for immediate recalibration. You've done a version of success and you've done it together. Now it's time to do it with pure power and pleasure driving the connection where it matters the most.

In this episode, we explored Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse. As Tokyo falls into eerie silence, a group of disconnected strangers uncovers a series of ghostly events linked to the internet. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we discuss the film's themes of loneliness, technology, and the feeling of existential dread. We dive into its haunting atmosphere, slow-burn terror, and why it remains one of the most unsettling J-horror films of the 2000s. Tune in as we break down why this film's core message of technology and loneliness was ahead of its time.

SummaryIn this conversation, Danielle Strickland, James Sholl, and Dr. Hilary McBride explore the complex relationship between religion, mental health, and societal systems. They discuss how religion can serve as both a source of support and a potential source of harm, particularly when it becomes a toxic system that prioritizes itself over the well-being of individuals. The conversation delves into the nuances of how charismatic leadership can manipulate followers and the importance of understanding the disconnection that can occur within religious contexts, ultimately leading to a deeper exploration of identity and belonging. In this conversation, Danielle Strickland and Hillary McBride explore the profound connection between embodiment, spirituality, and trauma. They discuss how disconnection from our bodies can lead to various forms of suffering and how reconnecting with our physical selves can be a pathway to liberation and healing. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of recognizing the value of our bodies, understanding cultural narratives that devalue them, and the spiritual significance of listening to our bodies. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, they highlight practices for fostering a deeper connection with oneself and the world around us.Takeaways* Religion can be both a source of support and harm.* Cultural practices around spirituality can disconnect us from our spiritual longings.* Systems can serve their own purposes at the expense of individuals.* Charismatic leaders can create environments that feel safe but are toxic.* Attachment styles influence how individuals relate to systems.* Disconnection from self can lead to compliance in toxic systems.* Religious practices can exacerbate mental health issues for some.* Understanding the sacred purpose of systems is crucial.* Disconnection is a key factor in understanding oppression. Disconnection from the body can lead to suffering.* Embodiment is a pathway to spiritual and political liberation.* Recognizing the value of bodies is essential for healing.* Cultural narratives often devalue the body, especially for women.* Listening to our bodies can reveal deep truths about ourselves.* Trauma can create a disconnect from our physical selves.* Practices for embodiment can help reconnect with our bodies.* Spirituality is intertwined with our physical existence.* Memory is held in our bodies and influences our experiences.* The body can be a source of wisdom and guidance.

On the 126th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I'm delighted to welcome our guest, Geneen Marie Haugen, PhD. Geneen grew up a little wild, with a run amok imagination, and has lived at the wild edge for most of her life. Once upon a time, she was a whitewater river guide and a tipi dweller who loved knowing that only thin canvas separated her from the the world. In her wild wanderings, she's been amazed to have had dozens or maybe hundreds of close encounters with creatures such as moose, elk, grizzlies, wolves, black bears, cougars, bison, and more. For her, the sulpher-scented hot springs of Yellowstone smell like home. A content creator and guide to the intertwined mysteries of nature and psyche with the Animas Valley Institute, she has been on the faculty of the Esalen Institute and Schumacher College. Her writing has appeared in Spiritual Ecology: The Cry of the Earth; Thomas Berry: Dreamer of the Earth; Parabola; Kosmos Journal; Ecopsychology; The Artist's Field Guide to Yellowstone, and many others. She believes in the world-shifting potential of the human imagination allied with the planetary psyche.In this glorious conversation, we explore the nature of reality and the role of imagination in shaping it. We discuss the current suppression of imagination, the vast possibilities that remain, and how imagination has profoundly influenced Geneen's life. She shares captivating stories of connection with the world around us and moments of shimmering aliveness.This conversation is a powerful invitation back to our imaginations—to a world rich with possibility, connection, and aliveness.To find more of Geneen Marie Haugen's work:Wild Pilgrimage Essay: https://starborne.substack.com/p/wild-pilgrimageAnimas Valley Institute Guide: https://www.animas.org/guides/22/geneen-marie-haugen-ph-d/Kosmos Journal: https://www.kosmosjournal.org/kj_article/reemergence-of-animate-world-experiences/ Perceptual Portal: https://greatturning.net/perceptual-portal-by-geneen-marie-haugen/Wild Imagination: https://www.dailygood.org/story/2359/wild-imagination-geneen-marie-haugen/Participatory Consciousness: https://participatorystudies.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/thomas-berry-and-the-evocation-of-participatory-consciousness/ Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, take part in my 5-week What is a Good Life? group courses, discuss ways to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams, or you simply want to get in touch.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/- Exploring one-on-one coaching: https://www.whatisagood.life/p/one-on-one-coaching- What is a Good Life?

Gorgeous souls,Welcome to a new episode.  There's a quiet epidemic in the coaching and spiritual space: performance masked as leadership. It looks polished. It sounds confident. But beneath it? Disconnection.In this episode, we dismantle the performative patterns that dilute your power & connection.  The key is our ability to activate the frequency of pure presence & move from there. Because when you lead from Soul - not survival or mimic signal- your business doesn't just grow… it breathes. It transmits. It transforms.You'll hear why presence is the highest strategy, and how I developed the ability to extract energetic distortions and lock into laser-focused vision - a method I use to move between deep creation, high-level leadership, and multidimensional roles like a top 1% athlete of consciousness.This episode is a direct transmission for the woman who's done performing. Who's here to embody. Who's ready to move at the speed of Soul and create from the clearest signal within her.Your business doesn't need more effort - it needs your essence.Want support: Website: www.alleradawn.comIG: @iamalleradawnWant to step into an intimate transformational pathway- Reach out Enquiry@alleradawn.comAllera Dawn

Have you ever asked yourself: "Why does my wife seem so distant, even when we're together?" "Am I feeling more like a roommate than a partner?" "What are the subtle signs our marriage is drifting, before it's too late?" If these questions echo in your mind, today's conversation is a powerful wake-up call to the silent killer of connection. Resentment isn't always loud screaming matches or slammed doors. It's the creeping silence, the growing disinterest, the widening emotional distance. It's when she starts emotionally withdrawing while still going through the motions of life with you.  Most men wait for a blow-up to take action, but by then, she might already be emotionally gone. This episode is about catching the drift long before the disconnect becomes irreversible. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: The Unseen Buildup: Ignored Emotions, Mental Load, Unspoken Expectations. She's likely been signaling for months, maybe even years. You might have heard the words ("I'm tired," "You never ask me how I'm doing," "It's always me managing everything"), but you didn't feel their weight. She doesn't want you to solve her problems; she wants you to see her. The hidden trap: men often assume "no conflict = no problem," but most women emotionally disconnect long before they ever fight. How Emotional Debt Compounds in Marriage. Every unacknowledged frustration is like putting a charge on a credit card with no payment plan. Eventually, she hits her limit and withdraws love, affection, and energy—not out of spite, but self-preservation. This emotional debt often manifests as phrases like, "I always have to ask," "I can't count on him," or "He doesn't even notice anymore." Just like in finance, emotional debt isn't a crisis—until it is. What She Really Means When She Says, “I'm Fine.” This seemingly simple phrase is often code for, "I don't feel safe opening up to you right now." It signals, "You haven't earned the right to hear what's really going on." Most men take it literally, or defensively, rather than responding with curiosity and genuine inquiry. Here's what research and observation highlight about resentment and marital health: Studies show that consistent emotional invalidation is linked to a 30% increase in marital dissatisfaction over time. When a partner perceives an uneven distribution of the mental load, it can lead to a 40% higher likelihood of emotional withdrawal. Ignoring subtle relationship red flags for more than 6 months significantly decreases the chances of successful conflict resolution without intervention. www.thedadedge.com/friday211 www.thedadedge.com/alliance  

Today, we kick off the month's theme of Reclaiming Inner Safety by unpacking why so many of us live in a constant state of disconnection. From racing thoughts and emotional numbing to people-pleasing and overfunctioning, we explore how early life experiences—like trauma, chronic stress, or invalidation—teach us that it's not safe to feel, need, or be fully present. These patterns of self-protection may have once helped us survive, but now they're keeping us from living a grounded, authentic life. You'll learn how disconnection often hides behind busyness, anxiety, or over-responsibility, and how the journey back to yourself starts with small, intentional moments of presence. We also talk about how this month, we will be talking about practices like EMDR and mindfulness can support this healing process by helping us gently return to our bodies, emotions, and inner truth—without shame or overwhelm. Three Takeaways 1.     Disconnection is a survival response—not a personal failure. Many of us learned to tune out from our emotions and bodies because it didn't feel safe to stay connected. 2.     Busyness, people-pleasing, and overthinking are often symptoms of deeper emotional avoidance. These patterns are how we manage discomfort—but they keep us from our truth. 3.     The path back to yourself starts with presence. A single breath, a named feeling, or a brief moment of stillness can begin to rebuild trust with your inner world.                          When stillness feels unsafe, we don't slow down – we stay busy, reactive, or numb. Not because we want to – but because it feels safer than what we'd have to feel. Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this revealing episode, we dive into the powerful concept of unspoken contracts - the invisible rules and assumptions quietly shaping your relationship. From mental load to emotional shutdown, financial habits to intimacy dynamics, we'll help you uncover the hidden systems that might be leaving you feeling stuck, resentful, or disconnected. Through relatable real-life examples, Amy and Blair show you how to identify these silent agreements, why they form, and how to transform them into intentional, balanced partnerships.

Welcome to episode #986 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Pico Iyer lives between worlds - geographically, culturally, and spiritually - and that makes him one of the most attuned chroniclers of what it means to be alive right now. Best known for travel writing that often transcends borders and genres (The Global Soul, Video Night in Kathmandu, The Lady and the Monk), Pico is also a deeply reflective thinker about silence, stillness, and solitude. In his latest book, Aflame - Learning from Silence, he returns to a Benedictine monastery in Big Sur - a place he has visited over 100 times - to explore what it means to pause in a world that won't stop moving. This isn't a religious retreat or a spiritual how-to. It's a meditation on fire: what we lose, what remains, and how burning down can be its own kind of beginning. In this conversation, we talk about the power of silence in an always-on culture, why the monastic life holds so much wisdom even for secular people, and how loss (of home, of place, of identity) can be a clarifier rather than just a crisis. There are moments of levity (Leonard Cohen, a fellow monastery-goer, makes an appearance), but mostly what Pico offers is a quiet urgency: that we're missing too much while looking at everything. His reflections on mindfulness, technology, climate anxiety, writing, and what it means to find meaning when everything feels untethered will resonate with anyone seeking more presence in a distracted world (also check out his other books: The Art of Stillness and The Half Known Life). Pico splits his time between Japan and California, writes with grace and generosity for The New York Times, Time, The New York Review of Books and others. If you're struggling to make sense of modern life, this one offers something deeper than answers - it offers permission to pause. He is one of my mentors and someone I constantly think about.

What would you do if your child told you that you loved alcohol more than them?  For Kate, this devastating moment was just one of many wake-up calls in her journey with alcohol. Growing up in a home where emotions weren't openly expressed, Kate developed patterns of using alcohol to navigate social situations and ultimately to escape feeling uncomfortable emotions. As her tolerance increased, her drinking became more secretive, hidden from her family in elaborate ways that mirrored behaviors she had observed in her own mother. Her story is a vulnerable, honest look at how alcohol keeps you from feeling emotions—grief, guilt, shame, and even love—and what it took to stop hiding and start healing.  In this eye-opening conversation, Kate shares with Annie how finding This Naked Mind helped her understand the science behind her drinking, empowering her to not just change her behavior but transform her entire relationship with alcohol and emotions. In this episode, Annie and Kate discuss: Kate's childhood experiences with alcohol and her mother's secret drinking The progression from social drinking to daily consumption and hiding Creative methods for obtaining alcohol during COVID restrictions The growing disconnect with her daughter due to prioritizing drinking How alcohol keeps you from feeling emotions while hijacking brain chemistry The final day of drinking and the 3 AM moment of decision to change Discovering This Naked Mind and the failed attempt at moderation The transformative experience of The Path program and health improvements Rebuilding trust with family and becoming a certified coach to help others And other topics… Episode links: Connect with Kate - https://freedomaffect.com/ Start reading This Naked Mind - https://thisnakedmind.com/bookJoin The Path - https://go.tnmprograms.com/the-path-from-this-naked-mind Related Episodes: EP 616: Reader's Question – Getting Past Emotional Drinking Triggers – https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-616-readers-question-getting-past-emotional-drinking-triggers/ EP 632: Reader's Question – How To Stop Running Away from Life and Emotions – https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-630-readers-question-how-to-stop-running-away-from-life-and-emotions/ Dare to Feel: Agnes's Naked Life | E771 - https://thisnakedmind.com/dare-to-feel-agness-naked-life-e771/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?  Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.

Have you ever noticed how you can be completely on it in one area of your life, like nailing your eating habits and moving your body, while completely bulldozing your own rules in another? You know that getting enough sleep makes you feel amazing, yet you stay up for just ‘one more' episode. Or you set a boundary around your phone use, only to immediately check Instagram the next morning. Why do we do this?  This episode of The Total Health and Midlife Podcast dives into the deeper reasons why we override our own boundaries, and spoiler alert, it's not about willpower. If you've ever found yourself breaking the very rules you set for yourself, this episode is for you.   We like to tell ourselves that discipline and self-control are the answers, but if that were true, we wouldn't keep repeating the same patterns. The real issue? Disconnection. When we don't intentionally build in rest, pleasure, and fulfillment, we end up stealing moments of false pleasure, doom scrolling, mindless snacking, or binge-watching late at night.  I share personal experiences, client stories, and the psychology behind why we sabotage our own boundaries. You'll learn why self-trust is the key to making lasting change and how shifting your approach to boundaries can help you actually honor them rather than feeling like you're constantly failing yourself.   So, what's your version of ‘just one more bite' or ‘just five more minutes'? Where do you override your own best intentions, not because you're weak, but because something deeper is missing? We challenge the belief that productivity must always come before pleasure and explore small, powerful ways to reconnect with what you truly need.  If you're ready to stop fighting yourself and start building trust in your decisions, this episode will show you how to create real, sustainable change without relying on willpower alone. Tune in now to start showing up for yourself in a way that feels supportive, not restrictive. Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/224

In this episode of the Unhooked podcast, I dive deep into the science of dopamine and addiction with special guest Mike Long, co-author of 'The Molecule of More.'

Our conversation also covers practical tools and steps grounded in neuroscience to help break free from the cycle of craving and dissatisfaction. Mike shares insights on the difference between pleasure and happiness, the role of dopamine in our evolutionary biology, and the necessity of creating a balanced and meaningful life. If you're struggling with addiction of any kind, this episode offers valuable perspectives and actionable advice.

In this deeply intimate and inspiring episode, Rudi sits down with his wife, Anniston Riekstins—not as a co-host, but as a guest—to explore the profound spiritual and emotional awakening that transformed her from the inside out. What began as unexplained sadness evolved into a full-body remembrance of who she really is—beyond the productivity, the proving, and the push.Through grief, stillness, and radical self-honesty, Anniston sheds light on the healing process so many of us resist and the roadmap she discovered that's now available for every woman ready to return to her essence. She unveils Coming Home to Her, a free 7-day voice activation experience designed to help women reconnect with the power, peace, and purpose already within them.If you've felt like you're in between identities, disconnected from your body, or unsure of who you are becoming—this episode is your invitation to come home.

On today's episode, we're delving into the growing epidemic of loneliness, examining its root causes, far-reaching impacts, and what it will take to rebuild our social fabric. For this important and timely conversation, we were thrilled to be joined by Radha Agrawal, author of the bestselling book Belong: Find Your People, Create Community & Live a More Connected Life. Radha is also the Co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, a global wellness movement that brings nearly half a million people together globally through early-morning, sober dance parties. In addition, Radha leads the Belong Institute and the Belong Center, two groundbreaking initiatives dedicated to addressing loneliness through community-building and laying the foundation for a wider culture of belonging.Throughout this conversation, we explore the essential human need for connection, the dangers of hyper-individualism, and how modern life, including our increasing disconnection from nature, has contributed to widespread feelings of alienation. Radha shares powerful insights on how rebuilding community and reestablishing our relationship with the natural world can help us reclaim joy, purpose, and a true sense of belonging. This is a conversation filled with practical tools and deep inspiration for anyone seeking to reconnect: with others, with nature, and with themselves.ShownotesBelong: Find Your People, Create Community & Live a More Connected Life by Radha AgrawalRadha Agrawal WebsiteDaybreaker | Wake Up & DanceBelong CenterBelong InstituteDr. Julianne Holt-LunstadThe Power of Belonging: How Ending Loneliness Will Save Our Planet (SXSW)Biophilic Solutions WebsiteBiophilic Solutions on InstagramKeywords: loneliness, loneliness epidemic, community, connection, community building, Radha Agrawal, nature, biophilia, biophilic, disconnection, climate, climate change, Daybreaker, belongingBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

Does this resonate? For years, I believed leadership was about pushing harder, working longer, and showing up no matter how depleted I felt. It seemed like success demanded constant resilience—never slowing down. But that old narrative, as my guest Jayne Warrilow shared, doesn't create great leaders. It creates burnout. Isolation. Disconnection. Jayne is an entrepreneur and thought leader, and founder of Sacred Changemakers. a global community that hosts a school of human consciousness. In our conversation on The Enlightened Executive, she opened up about her journey from overachieving workhorse to authentic, human-centered leader—and the leadership transformations that followed. Jayne's insights struck a deep chord. Here's what we uncovered—and how you can apply it to your own leadership. Ready to learn the power of authentic leadership? Then you won't want to miss this enlightening episode!

All of us want to "seen" by the people around us. We want to be recognized as unique individuals. Yet the experience of being seen in this way can be dispiritingly rare. This week, we kick off our "Relationships 2.0" series by talking with researcher Allison Pugh about the psychological benefits of what she calls "connective labor." She explains why this labor is often overlooked, and how to cultivate the superpower of making other people feel seen.  In this episode, you'll learn: *The definition of connective labor, and why this skill is like "engine grease" for our personal and professional relationships.*Why connective labor is vital to success in a surprisingly broad array of careers. *The gender stereotypes around connective labor, and why these stereotypes overlook the role that men play as connectors. *How connective labor affects our mental and physical health.*How connective labor by teachers may affect students' ability to learn. *How to slow down in interactions with other people and explore the emotional context behind their words. If you have a follow-up question for Allison Pugh after listening to this episode, and you'd be willing to share it with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a voice memo on your phone. Once you've done so, email it to us at ideas@hiddenbrain.org. Use the subject line “connection.” And thanks for listening!
