Topic: Troubled childhood, modernity, advice."I think I have had a childhood filled with particularly egregious examples of the postmodern order, such examples include, teachers who were outright communists, others who were very racist towards Whites, universal pacing of all kids etc. I think people even in their 30s would be surprised how bad it has gotten, so I want to get the word out there, I feel there is a surprising lack of first-hand accounts."The other thing that I would appreciate is to get advice on how to figure my life out. I am in my early 20s, so couldn't get enough advice if I tried. Some of would maybe touch on childhood troubles, like having split parents, a dad with schizophrenia, and certain experiences with emotional neglect, and abuse."SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Have you ever thought about how your own stress affects your kids — or how your parents' stress might still be affecting you? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Taz Bhatia, integrative medicine physician, author, and founder of Hol+, we explore how the health of the parents — especially the mother — sets the tone for the entire family system. Because wellness isn't just about self-care… it's about the legacy you're creating for the next generation. Together, we unpack how patterns of anger, overwhelm, and chronic stress get passed down in families — and how to finally break the cycle. In this episode you'll hear: Why stress isn't always bad, but becomes harmful when your body never feels safe (aka the cortisol hum). How unresolved emotions and disconnection show up in the body — from hormone imbalances to fatigue and resentment. The way childhood modeling shapes how we handle conflict and stress in marriage. Practical ways to track your body's signals (like HRV) and create a calmer emotional climate at home. Simple habits couples can build to protect their emotional and physical well-being — and, in turn, their kids'. Dr. Taz also shares how she's disrupting the medical industry through her Hol+ network (add link) — an integrative system combining Eastern and Western medicine to care for families as a whole, offering both in-person clinics and virtual access nationwide. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help every family heal from the inside out. This episode is a reminder that when one person in the family heals, everyone benefits. The health of your marriage, your body, and your home are all connected — and you have the power to create a new emotional legacy for your family.

It seems like the “I need more space” and “I need to talk this out now” partners always find each other! This is the basis of the Pursuer/Withdrawer as well as the Anxious/Avoidant partner dynamics in marriage. When this dynamic happens, it always causes more tension, defensiveness, anxiety, and distance than the initial topic of conversation. If this sounds at all like dynamics you and your partner get into, you certainly are not alone!  In today's episode you will hear more detail about what's really happening for each partner, whether it is the need for space or resolution. There are many factors that contribute to this, like personality type and emotional processing capacity. But tune in to hear about details you would have never thought of, hear more about how this dynamic has played out in our own marriage over the years, and then specific steps you can take to keep this dynamic from escalating simple conversations. This will make you both feel even more secure, understood, and loved in your relationship.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when calm becomes disconnection. What we often call calm isn't really calm at all. On the outside, it looks steady and strong, but inside? It can feel tight, numb, or completely disconnected - it's what I like to call "comfortably numb."This is what so many of us in agriculture are taught - be tough, hold it together, and keep going (no matter what). But when calm becomes disconnection, we lose touch with ourselves AND the people around us.True calm comes from a regulated nervous system. It's the kind of peace that allows you to think, feel, connect, and actually be present.In this episode, I cover:What true calm really means + how it differs from disconnectionWhy we often mistake being calm for being disconnectedHow to recognize the physical & emotional signs of true calm vs. shutdownPractical ways to come back from a freeze or shutdown + reconnect with yourself and others Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Feel like you're doing everything “right”… yet something still feels off? Like no matter how hard you try, you can't quite feel at peace with food, your body, or yourself? In this episode, we're getting real about the root cause underneath it all: disconnection from yourself. And how it quietly fuels bingeing, overthinking, feeling stuck, and SO much more.In this episode, we chat about:Why constant productivity and “shoulds” disconnect you from your bodyHow ignoring your body's messages leads to bingeing, scrolling, and other “symptoms”Why bingeing isn't the problem, it's a signal from your bodyThe real reason slowing down feels so uncomfortable (and why it matters)A 10-minute challenge to start rebuilding your connection todayHow embodiment, nervous system regulation, and inner wisdom are key to lasting food freedomLinks:

Aaron Johnson is a powerful social activist and thought leader dedicated to fostering environments where Black-bodied individuals can fully express themselves. His TED Talk, “Chronically Undertouched,” highlights the profound absence of safe, loving, platonic touch in the lives of many Black men. His work is rooted in addressing this deep cultural and emotional wound. Aaron helps men of African descent transition from being chronically undertouched to developing personalized “touch plans,” creating practices that honor safety, connection, and dignity. Beyond individual guidance, Aaron cultivates retreats and workshops on Black-owned land in the Mojave Desert, where BIPOC communities can gather for healing, meditation, song, and collective renewal. In this episode, host Shay Beider and Aaron Johnson dive into the profound impact of platonic touch for Black men and BIPOC communities. Aaron shares his personal journey of reclaiming touch and accepting his tears after confronting the deep cultural barriers shaped by history, racism, and social conditioning. Aaron introduces his “Touch Plan” framework, starting with deep listening, grounding practices, singing, and gradually introducing platonic touch with consent and presence. This conversation also touches on the role of culture, history, and collective healing, highlighting Aaron's retreats, workshops, and films, including Dark and Tender, which documents men of African descent rediscovering tenderness, connection, and emotional expression. The conversation highlights how nurturing physical and emotional connection can support holistic wellness, resilience, and collective empowerment.

Welcome back to The Psychology Mama'sToday, we're diving into something that so many mothers quietly carry, the kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. The kind that seeps into your bones and makes you feel like you're disappearing inside the love you're giving.We're talking about burnout in motherhood what happens when the endless giving, caring, and emotional holding start to empty you out.And here's the truth: it's not because you're not resilient enough, or grateful enough, or organised enough. It's because you're human, living in a world that doesn't hold mothers the way mothers hold everyone else.We'll explore what burnout actually is, how it's different from postnatal depression and why it's not something you can fix with more “self-care.”Because burnout isn't just about stress, it's about disconnection. Disconnection from support, from rest, and often, from your own sense of self.So if you've ever found yourself thinking, “I love my child so much, why do I still feel so flat, so depleted, so alone?”This episode is for you.You can find more of us here: Our Online Psychology practice: Did you know we have online appointments available with our amazing therapists Lisa or Maddie.

Division isn't just a problem in the world—it's creeping into homes, marriages, and families everywhere. When couples start turning against each other instead of standing together, the bond that once felt safe and secure begins to weaken. In this episode, we're breaking down The 4 D's That Create Division in a Marriage: Dismissiveness, Defensiveness, Deflecting, and Divorce Threats. These subtle but destructive patterns slowly undermine connection and emotional safety, often without you even realizing it. We'll clearly define what each of these behaviors looks and sounds like—and why they're so damaging to your closeness and trust. More importantly, we'll share how to stop them before they erode your foundation. 

This session explores how trauma affects the brain, body, and spirit, often hindering a person's ability…

Can I be honest? I sat down to record this episode with absolutely nothing. Zero inspiration. My first thought? "Great, Tami. You teach people about alignment and you can't even show up for your own work." But here's what I realized: that feeling wasn't writer's block. It was my soul tapping me on the shoulder saying, "We need to talk." And if you're listening to this feeling the exact same way about your leadership right now—like you're going through the motions but can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to why it matters—this episode is for you.

In this deep, soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with the incredible Sahara Valastro — naturopath, herbalist, and womb wisdom practitioner — to explore the sacred link between our bodies, our cycles, and our intuition.We talk about:

SUMMARY In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Sadhbh O'Flaherty takes over the mic to interview Scott McInnes about his recent research titled 'Mind the Gap.' The research explores the cultural challenges organisations face today, particularly through the lens of Chief People Officers (CPOs) in Ireland. The conversation delves into the motivations behind the research, key findings, and actionable insights for organisations looking to improve their culture. Key themes include leadership skill and will, the role of managers, the importance of learning and development, accountability for values, and the challenge of disconnection in the workplace. Scott emphasises the need for intentionality in creating a strong organisational culture that aligns with business strategies.  Mind The Gap Research: http://bit.ly/4gXtNp2    TAKEAWAYS Connection among HR leaders is crucial.  Understanding culture challenges requires frontline insights.  Leaders set the tone for organisational culture.  Everyone in the organization owns the culture.  Managers play a key role in translating values to teams.  Learning should be prioritized beyond formal courses.  Accountability for values strengthens organisational culture.  Feedback is essential for personal and professional growth.  Intentionality is key in fostering workplace connections.  Culture impacts business outcomes significantly.    CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Research 02:02 The Motivation Behind the Research 04:28 Leadership Skill and Will 06:55 The Manager Factor 10:54 Skills for Today and Tomorrow 15:09 Accountability for Values 20:54 The Challenge of Disconnection 27:22 Surprises from the Research 29:18 Connecting Themes to Business Outcomes 32:34 Actionable Steps for Organisations

With a significant online following, Anna has dedicated over three decades to helping those affected by childhood trauma, enabling them to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Her forthcoming book, "Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel, at Last, Like You Belong," focuses on overcoming feelings of disconnection—a common issue both among trauma survivors and those with normal childhoods. Anna highlights that many individuals crave connection and understanding but often feel isolated, leading to loneliness and strained relationships.During the discussion, Anna shares her personal background of growing up in a commune with a mother plagued by addiction, which subjected her and her family to violence, poverty, and neglect. Despite these challenges, she managed to remain a high-functioning student throughout her childhood and early adulthood. However, a series of traumatic events in her 30s, including the death of her mother, a serious heartbreak, and a violent attack, left her with profound psychological effects, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At that time, the concept of PTSD was not well understood outside military contexts, leaving Anna feeling isolated and struggling with her mental health amidst overwhelming shame and fear.In her conversation with Gina Ryan, Anna explains the significant misdiagnosis of childhood trauma symptoms, revealing her struggle with emotional dysregulation and her eventual journey to recovery. After initially finding therapy unhelpful, Anna serendipitously discovered effective techniques for managing her anxiety and depression through support from a friend who had also endured severe life struggles. These techniques, which included writing down her anxious and angry thoughts and feelings—effectively releasing them—and practicing meditation, became transformative tools for her.#CPTSD, #ComplexPTSD, #ChildhoodTrauma, #TraumaHealing, #Dysregulation, #NeurologicalDysregulation, #EmotionalRegulation, #Connectability, #Disconnection, #Isolation, #AnnaRunkle, #CrappyChildhoodFairy, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #DailyPractice, #Reregulated, #ReRegulation, #TraumaRecovery, #HealingTechniques, #SelfHelp, #LifeSkills, #SocialSkills, #Meditation, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #HealingJourney, #InnerPeace, #Belonging, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The greatest trauma we inherited wasn't the pain itself, it was what that pain created: the belief that we were separate from God. Religion reinforced this lie for control, teaching us that holiness lived somewhere outside of us.The truth is, your body was designed as God's temple. Your DNA, nervous system, and pineal gland all carry the blueprint of divine design. Scripture calls it the serpent lifted up, the seven seals, the winding stairs, the single eye that fills the body with light. Science calls it DNA, neuroplasticity, and bioelectric current. Kundalini Yoga calls it the serpent rising.In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Podcast, we uncover how generational trauma, colonization, and religion severed our connection to God within — and why rebuilding the inner temple through meditation is the true gift of generational healing.You'll discover:✝️ What scripture really means when it calls you “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14, John 12:36, Matthew 6:22).

When emotions run high in marriage, one of the most common traps couples fall into is what to do with each other's feelings. Should you validate them? Should you challenge them? Or should you just offer a quick solution so you can move on? The truth is when emotional validation is missing or misunderstood, small hurts linger, conflicts spiral, and one or both partners can end up feeling dismissed, forced into solutions, or left unresolved. It's also one of the biggest complaints we hear from spouses…”you're not validating my feelings!”  In this episode, we unpack: Why couples often confuse validation with agreement The hidden ways spouses accidentally invalidate each other Why solutions don't stick if this piece is missing What actually creates the safety to collaborate, repair, and move forward together If you've ever wondered “Am I supposed to validate even when I don't agree?”—this conversation is for you. Because the order in which you respond to your partner's emotions might be the very thing that determines whether you stay stuck… or actually grow closer.

Today I share a recent conversation I had with a two-time suicide loss survivor, including her beloved son Zack in Sept. 2024.Meet Zack's MomPatty Born is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, licensed massage therapist, and nurse coach-in-training who integrates mind-body care. A two-time suicide loss survivor—her ex-husband (2012) Cahrlie, and her 19-year-old son, Zachary (Sept 2024)—Patty speaks openly about grief, stigma, and what truly supports healing. Her mission: normalize mental health conversations in healthcare and everyday life, and honor Charlie and Zack through the work she does.What we discuss:Awareness as education: why information isn't enough without honest, ongoing (hard) conversations.Reaching in vs. waiting for a reach-out: how to show up—practically, consistently, without tiptoeing.Disconnection as a health issue: the social and communal fractures driving distress—and what rebuilds belonging.Mental health is health: integrating mind-body care and making support an ordinary part of life, not a crisis add-on.Broadening risk: suicide can touch any family; dismantling stereotypes and widening our “who might need help” lens.Inner-circle codes: creating a shared signal for “I need to talk” vs. “I really need to talk”—and how to respond.Trauma aftercare: recognizing trauma (acute and cumulative) and the long-tail support people actually need.Parenting and loss: honoring Charlie and Zack while navigating meaning, purpose, and the day-to-day.Healthcare culture shifts: what clinicians can do differently tomorrow to reduce shame and increase safety.At the core, this episode insists that connection is protective—and that we can't wait for people to reach out; we have to reach in. Make help easy with clear signals and simple plans, and treat trauma care like rehab: structured, paced, and long-term. Ditch stereotypes about “who's at risk,” widen the lens, and talk about mental health the way we talk about any health—openly, without shame. That's how we honor the people we've lost and keep showing up for the ones still here.

In this episode, D and I wrap our stance series by exploring Types 4, 5, and 9, the so-called “withdrawn” types. We unpack what “withdrawing” actually looks like at work (hint: it can be deep engagement happening on the inside), how each type's strengths show up on teams, and where friction tends to arise under pressure. We also share quick, practical “stretch” moves for each type and reframes that managers can use to turn perceived quiet into powerful contribution. What You'll LearnWhat “withdrawn” actually means: the difference between internal engagement and disconnection, and how to tell which one you're seeing.Type 4 (The Visionary): depth, authenticity, and storytelling superpowers, plus the pull toward what's missing and how to re-ground in action.Type 5 (The Strategist): the “quiet genius” who protects limited energy, leads with data, and benefits from defining “enough information.”Type 9 (The Consensus-Builder): the calm bridge-builder who sees every side, along with the risk of fading out or numbing when things get intense.Adaptive vs. maladaptive (via Awareness to Action)Pairings & chemistryQuick Stretch Practices (Try These This Week)For 4s: Notice when emotion is pulling you inward; name one next action to move your insight forward.For 5s: Decide “what's enough” before you research; share work-in-progress to invite collaboration (even if it's not perfect).For 9s: Speak before consensus—offer your “current take” and say you're open to revising it.Reflection PromptsWhen I'm overwhelmed, do I retreat into feelings (4), thoughts (5), or comfort/peace (9)?Where's the line, for me or my teammate, between internal engagement and disconnection?What's our re-entry plan after someone steps back to process (time box, next touchpoint, decision deadline)?Resources & Next StepsBring this to your team: We're already booking year-end closers and 2026 kickoffs.

In this message, we put it to the test by asking it about mental health. Will it provide truth that aligns with scripture and what God says? Let's find out! Speaker: Pastor Danny Anderson

In this video, we react to Scientology and the Aftermath Season 1 Episode 7, where Leah Remini and Mike Rinder expose the devastating effects of Scientology's disconnection policy and the pressure of training for auditing. We share our perspective on how David Miscavige constantly changes the rules to tighten control, keeping members in a cycle of confusion and dependency.We also dive into the heartbreaking impact of being cut off from family, especially when tragedy strikes, and how those losses are made even more painful by the church's demands for loyalty over love. Drawing from our own experiences in high-demand religious groups, we connect the dots between Scientology and other communities that use similar tactics of control.

Many women carry the weight of perfectionism, people-pleasing and cultural expectations that leave them feeling disconnected from themselves. In this open and honest conversation, I welcome transformation coach, Kara Kupchella, to unpack the real cost of female disconnection and the tools we need to finally step into alignment.Kara shares her personal journey of growing up in an environment where she couldn't trust her body or intuition, leading to decision paralysis and constant second-guessing. Together, we explore how disconnection shows up in women's mental health, relationships and even physical well-being. Plus, what it looks like to reclaim your intuition and live in authentic flow.Tune in and you'll discover:• Why women are more likely to struggle with anxiety, depression, and burnout• The hidden toll of perfectionism and people-pleasing• Common signs you're living out of alignment• How to pause, regulate your nervous system and take micro steps toward momentum• What the Fulfilled Flow Program can teach you about reconnecting with your true selfIf you've ever felt like you're “drowning” in expectations or stuck in the churn of self-doubt, this episode is your reminder that you can choose a different path - one rooted in connection, clarity and self-trust!To connect more with Kara:Instagram:   / thefitdogmamakara  Website for Your Free Strategy Call: https://karakupchella.com/Watch full episode on YOUTUBE here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkNh5_i2YJk&t=1693sIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

 Today I'm speaking with Seth Quig. Seth is a seasoned outdoor professional with over two decades of experience in outdoor education and international adventure travel. Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! I didn't pay rent for nearly 10 years. Seriously. I was either crashing in guard houses, sleeping in a tent, or living out of my truck between Idaho and Baja. Some might call it dirtbagging—I call it my MBA in life. Back then, my “home” was wherever the river ran or the mountain rose. I wasn't building a business. I wasn't even thinking about one. I was chasing adventure, guiding people through whitewater and Himalayan passes. But somewhere between the third trip up Kilimanjaro and watching bulldozers drop boulders into a rapid I was about to run… I realized something. Adventure wasn't the goal. It was the vehicle. A vehicle for connection. For transformation. For pushing people out of comfort and into character. PRINCIPLE: If you want to create something meaningful in the outdoor industry—or in life—you've got to stop thinking of adventure as the destination. It's the doorway. The best guides (and entrepreneurs) don't just lead people outside. They lead them into themselves. And to do that, you don't need perfect branding or a 10-step funnel. You need to understand people, risk, fear, group dynamics—and how to hold space when someone's terrified of peeing in a Porta-Potty. TRANSITION: But most aspiring adventure entrepreneurs never make it to that level. They get stuck thinking passion is enough. That loving nature or guiding people qualifies you to build a sustainable business. But loving rivers doesn't teach you finance. Running the Inca Trail doesn't show you how to manage a team, onboard a client, or navigate a cultural crisis in Kathmandu. So what happens? Burnout. Disconnection. Businesses that are all sizzle, no soul. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode with Seth Quig isn't just about whitewater and trekking tales. It's a masterclass in what it really takes to make a living in adventure travel today. We're talking risk, realism, radical honesty—and how to build a business that doesn't just profit, but gives back. CALL TO ACTION: Tired of feeling like your passion for the outdoors isn't enough to build the career you want? That's because it isn't—not without the right mindset and mentorship. Discover what most outdoor pros get wrong and how to flip the script. Listen to this episode now and find the trailhead to a better business.

You want the truth? Here it is: High-functioning exhaustion isn't a badge of honor, it's a fracture running straight through your sense of self.  You call it strength, call it emotional fluency, but really, it's a crisis of identity. You know how to care for everyone else, yet when the noise stops, you don't even know what rest is, except for the collapse that comes after you've spent every ounce.  This isn't about self-care routines or bubble baths; it's about unlearning survival as your default. If you're ready to face the reality behind your relentless drive, keep listening.

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker is joined by holistic physician Dr. Brad Montagne to explore how unconscious beliefs, emotional suppression, and meta-cognitive dissonance can inhibit healing in chronic care. Together, we examine how unresolved psychological data and implicit attitudes create empathy gaps and relational disconnection, shaping both treatment resistance and patient well-being. This conversation unpacks the pivotal role empathy plays as a clinical tool—bridging human connection and holistic health outcomes.Key Talking PointsHow unresolved psychological data and suppressed beliefs influence chronic illness.The role of meta-cognitive dissonance in creating resistance to healing.Why empathy gaps in healthcare erode patient trust and connection.Somatic and psychological pathways that link disconnection to diminished healing outcomes.Trauma-informed perspectives on bridging relational divides in chronic care.Key TakeawaysHealing is not only physiological—it's relational, requiring empathy as medicine.Unconscious biases and cultural scripts often drive treatment resistance.Disconnection creates nocebo-like effects that can worsen patient outcomes.Clinicians who bridge empathy gaps can foster resilience and restore trust.Holistic care thrives when emotional, somatic, and relational factors are addressed together.Guest Bio – Dr. Brad MontagneDr. Brad Montagne is a holistic physician and chronic care provider dedicated to helping patients uncover the deeper connections between physical illness and unresolved emotional or psychological patterns.

Welcome to "the great disconnection, the defining social crises of our era; a hollowing out of the bonds that give life meaning, even as the illusion of connection multiplies." Big sigh with a desire to make something of it... blessings!

Totallytoriarmstrong.com/contact Quality Interaction Cheat Sheet Use these simple strategies to transform everyday interactions into meaningful connections. Keep this cheat sheet handy as a reminder to choose connection over disconnection. • ■ **The 5-Minute Rule:** Give loved ones 5 minutes of undivided attention when they enter the room—phones down, eyes up. • ■ **Eye Contact + Name:** Look people in the eye and use their name—it signals presence and respect. • ■ **Ask Better Questions:** Swap 'How was your day?' for 'What made you smile today?' or 'What was the highlight?' • ■ **Listen Without Fixing:** Sometimes people don't need advice—they just need to feel heard. Nod, reflect, and hold space. • ■ **Be Where Your Feet Are:** Whether at dinner, a game, or a meeting—be fully present in that moment.

Is busyness really success, or just disconnection in disguise? If you've ever glamorized the all-nighter only to feel empty the next day, this conversation offers a saner script: purpose, presence, and small rituals that shift your nervous system in minutes. This conversation will show you that burnout isn't just about hours worked. It's about misalignment. And by choosing connection, you can change everything. What You'll Learn: 03:59 Why busyness got glamorized (and why that's shifting) 07:42 The “low moment” that pushed Aisha to rethink her purpose  13:21 The caffeine wake-up call that sparked lifestyle changes 17:32 A two-minute breathing ritual to reset and refocus 23:34 Navigating stereotypes as a South Asian woman founder  Today, Ginni welcomes Aisha Chottani, founder of Moment, a flavored water brand that brings mindfulness-inspired botanicals and adaptogens into everyday hydration. Shifting from the consulting grind to a deeply intentional business, Aisha shares how purpose (not just hustle) fuels sustainable drive and how three conscious breaths before a meeting can change your day. You'll hear how a caffeine overload and a bout of misalignment led Aisha to build supportive rituals, revisit her South Asian wellness roots, and formulate a “functional stack”. She opens up about being underestimated in male-dominated spaces, why New York forced her to slow down to thrive, and how Moment is expanding into natural retail chains, airports, and cruise ships, making calm an everyday option.

Ready to break free from burnout and self-sabotage?Join The Capacity Gap Workshop, register FREE at https://rewirecapacity.com  The flight response is often misunderstood as weakness or avoidance, but it's actually a deeply wired survival strategy shaped by fear and trauma. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we uncover how the nervous system uses constant motion, through overwork, hustle, and productivity, to escape from internal sensations and emotions that once felt unsafe. You'll learn how fear disguises itself as discipline, why rest feels threatening to high performers, and how chronic busyness creates a false sense of safety while eroding health and connection. From neuroscience to personal stories, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explain the mechanisms of the flight response, its roots in trauma, and the protective role it sometimes plays. Most importantly, we share practical somatic tools to slow down, regulate the nervous system, and reclaim fear as a signal for presence and alignment, not something to outrun. 00:00 – Running from internal sensations, not others 00:24 – Busyness and productivity as avoidance 00:43 – Slowing down in somatic therapy 01:33 – Hustler identity and chronic overdoing 02:25 – Flight tied to fear of stillness 03:11 – Welcome to Trauma Rewired 04:15 – Flight patterns: urgency, overscheduling, avoidance 05:13 – When flight signals misalignment 07:46 – Flight as protection against overstimulation 09:31 – Brain-body mechanics of flight 11:50 – Fear bypassed as weakness 13:10 – Trauma and structural reinforcement of flight 15:36 – Movement replacing emotion 17:35 – Somatic healing requires slowing down 18:32 – Signs of inward-directed flight 19:55 – Disconnection from body cues (hunger, fatigue) 23:39 – Somatic regulation steps and tools 25:53 – Fear as primal protective signal 28:12 – Regulation tools to create space between sensation and action 31:24 – Stillness and vulnerability as safety 32:16 – Somatic release of fear: frozen shoulder story 33:28 – Reclaiming emotions as growth tools 34:36 – Fear, intuition, and aligned action Topics Discussed in This Episode: The difference between healthy fear and chronic flight How trauma conditions the nervous system to stay in motion The neuroscience of the flight response: amygdala, hypothalamus, PAG, prefrontal cortex Why productivity and hustle are often survival strategies Signs of chronic flight in relationships and work The hidden cost of avoiding emotions through busyness Somatic tools for slowing down and processing fear Rewiring chronic flight through neuroplasticity and body-based healing The role of cultural and systemic trauma in reinforcing flight How to reclaim fear as a clarifying signal for safety and presence

Connection is the lifeblood of marriage.  In fact, we are wired for deep connection.  And while the connection works best within the marriage relationship, it is not singular. Many couples find connection in only one or two areas, missing that second or third layer of connecting.  Often, over time, this begins to eat away at the connection a couple shares. Disconnection tends to breed disconnection.  When there are areas missing, they begin to chip away at the other areas. But connection tends to breed connection.  As you work to reconnect, and as you focus on all three layers, there is a multiplying effect.  Connection deepens and broadens, leading to more and more connection. Listen to this week's podcast to discover the 3 Layers of Connection. RELATED RESOURCES Save The Marriage System Why Connection Matters The Pause Button Marriage My Books

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we're joined by one of the most powerful voices in integrative medicine: Dr. Zach Bush, a triple board-certified physician and internationally recognized educator on the microbiome, environmental health, and root-cause healing. In Part 1 of this mind-expanding conversation, Dr. Bush explains why our environment (not just our genetics) is the true driver of chronic disease. He breaks down how our disconnection from soil, community, and inner consciousness is weakening our immunity, gut function, and emotional health. From soil depletion to childhood trauma, he reveals how our fractured relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves has created a deep soul-sickness that's manifesting as disease. PLUS, Dr. Bush shares what soil health teaches us about healing, how to reawaken your innate intelligence, and why self-love is more powerful than any prescription. This isn't just about symptoms, it's about remembering who you are. Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Disconnection causes disease: True healing starts when we reconnect to nature, the microbiome, and our own inner voice, not just when we treat symptoms. The environment mirrors your health: The toxins in our soil, air, and water are disrupting our gut, brain, and immune systems, but regeneration is possible when we change how we live and grow. Consciousness is medicine: Awareness, presence, and community are powerful healing tools, especially in a world that thrives on distraction and disconnection. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/  ION Support: http://www.ionbiome.com  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
