What if you have never actually experienced the world?Not once.That statement sounds absurd. You can see the room around you. You can hear sounds. You can feel your body. You can touch the objects in front of you. Surely, all of that proves that you are experiencing a world outside of yourself.But in this episode, we aren't interested in what seems obvious. We aren't interested in philosophy, belief, or another explanation of reality.We're going to look.Before the mind says tree, what is actually present?Before the mind says bird, what is actually heard?Before the mind says my hand, what is actually felt?Sight appears. Sound appears. Sensation appears. Thought appears. And somehow, all of it is known.From there, the investigation becomes far more unsettling.Where exactly is this experience happening?We assume there is a person located somewhere inside the body - perhaps behind the eyes - looking outward at an external world. There is "me" in here and everything else out there.But can you actually find that boundary in your direct experience?And if experience is happening to you, can you find the one experiencing it?The body is known.Thought is known.Emotion is known.Memory is known.Your personality, history, beliefs, fears, desires, successes, failures, and even the feeling I am here are all known.So where is the knower?This episode continues the inquiry begun through the analogy of the sky, weather, and umbrella. Thoughts, emotions, circumstances, fears, and desires are weather. The mind attempts to control that weather with its umbrella.But we aren't trying to improve the weather anymore.We're investigating the sky.And eventually, even the sky must be abandoned as another concept.Because the mind has one final hiding place: the witness.Perhaps you aren't the body or the thoughts. Perhaps you are awareness - the observer witnessing everything.But if you can say, I am awareness, isn't that statement itself known?Can the witness actually be found?This is where self-knowledge becomes ruthless.Anything observed can be negated.Not this.Not this.Not this.Not because the body, world, personality, or thoughts are wrong. They remain exactly as they are. The investigation simply refuses to mistake anything known for that by which knowing is possible.And eventually, the mind reaches the place it has spent an entire lifetime trying to escape:I don't know.Rather than filling that space with another spiritual concept - consciousness, awareness, God, source, universe - we remain with the mystery itself.You are conscious.That much is undeniable.But what makes that possible?This episode ends not with an answer, but with the inquiry at the heart of everything:What is it that makes me conscious?Don't answer it.Don't turn it into a philosophy.Don't believe anything I tell you.Just look.

Former Mirage F1 combat pilot Easy Bethoux initially dismissed aerobatic flying as “circus” work—until a friend told him that life in the Patrouille de France was “war twice a day.” One selection flight changed everything. Easy went on to fly with and ultimately lead France's national display team. In this remarkably candid conversation, he explains the fear, trust, discipline and emotional cost behind one of the world's most respected formation teams.00:00:00 Introduction00:02:15 From the Mirage F1 to the Patrouille de France00:03:26 “I'm not a circus guy”00:04:04 “It's war twice a day”00:05:31 Arriving for the selection day00:07:00 Flying in the Alpha Jet's back seat00:09:12 The formation tightens—and Easy cries00:10:33 The dynamic flight at 100 feet00:12:00 The selection interview00:15:00 Joining the team and starting again00:19:40 Searching for the perfect formation flight00:21:16 Going to war with yourself00:25:01 Learning to accept fear00:27:29 “I was afraid of dying”00:34:00 A typical Patrouille de France training day00:39:00 The pilot–mechanic relationship00:44:00 Learning movements from the team's “Bible”00:50:30 The training flight that nearly ended in ejection00:57:50 The relentless display schedule01:10:00 Safety, fatigue and flying within your limits01:19:09 Dealing with threats during a live display01:25:46 The hardest part of the job01:31:00 When the entire formation reaches 100%01:34:15 Choosing the next leader01:38:25 Emotion and honesty among fighter pilots01:39:43 Easy's fear above Flight Level 30001:45:01 Creating the “Apache” manoeuvre01:50:00 Meeting the world's other display teams01:54:57 Why the Alpha Jet works so well02:05:34 What audiences never see behind the display02:15:00 How the show continues to evolve02:21:40 Leaving the Patrouille de France02:24:19 Bringing every pilot home02:24:35 Bertrand and the death of his father02:31:44 “You bring him back every day”02:33:26 The team's accident and safety briefing02:35:35 Should Bertrand see his father's fatal accident?02:37:31 The decision and its aftermath02:39:50 “You can be a fighter and you can cry”02:41:00 Closing thoughts

Warum willst du ausgerechnet die Frau, die dir nicht das gibt, was du brauchst?Sobald sie distanziert wird, nicht antwortet oder dir die kalte Schulter zeigt, steigt plötzlich dein Interesse. Du analysierst ihre Nachrichten, wartest auf ihre Aufmerksamkeit und willst sie umso mehr, je weniger sie dir gibt.Und vielleicht ist das kein Zufall.In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum sich manche Männer immer wieder zu emotional unerreichbaren Frauen hingezogen fühlen und welche Rolle früh gelernte Beziehungsmuster dabei spielen können.Du erfährst, was hinter dem psychologischen Konzept des Wiederholungszwangs steckt, warum wir Intensität mit echter Verbindung verwechseln können und weshalb sich eine konstante, sichere Beziehung manchmal weniger aufregend anfühlt als das permanente Wechselspiel aus Nähe und Distanz.Vor allem aber geht es darum, wie du dieses Muster erkennst und beginnst, anders zu handeln: nicht mehr jeder intensiven Emotion blind zu folgen, Sicherheit und Beständigkeit neu zu bewerten und dir selbst weniger von der Bestätigung anderer abhängig zu machen.Denn nicht alles, was sich nach unglaublicher Anziehung anfühlt, ist automatisch Liebe.Manchmal ist es einfach ein bekanntes Muster in einem neuen Menschen.Erkenne es. Durchbrich es. Kalibriere deinen inneren Kompass neu.Let's go, Champ. Action. Power. Vorwärts.

Welcome, friends!Why do we LOVE female rage when it's on a screen, hanging in a museum, or packaged into the perfect TikTok edit, yet become deeply uncomfortable when real women get angry?In this episode, we explore the aesthetics of female rage, from the pressure to remain beautiful and agreeable to the racial stereotypes and double standards that shape how women's anger is perceived. We look at what happens when women swallow their anger, what happens when they finally explode, and why female fury can become so compelling when it's transformed into art, literature and pop culture. And what if rage isn't always an explosion? Sometimes, it simply says: ENOUGH.Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & Further Reading:Brescoll, Victoria L., and Eric Luis Uhlmann.

Big lives contain big experiences. In this episode, I break down the role our emotions play in expansion – including how the emotions we're most tempted to avoid (grief, anger, fear, disappointment, shame) are actually the greatest opportunities to expand our capacity. I share ways to identify which emotions you're organizing your life around NOT feeling, what avoiding your emotions secretly costs you, and how to handle the intensity that comes with feeling deeper and dreaming bigger. Most of all, you'll learn simple practices to microdose feeling your emotions without getting overwhelmed… So that when life gets bigger, you have all the evidence you need to run towards it.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What role do emotions play in expansion? 04:00 Why expansion might be hidden in the emotions we avoid. 09:50 Which emotions are you organizing your life around NOT feeling? 12:30 How to transform your emotions into an opportunity to expand your capacity. 14:45 What is avoiding your emotions actually costing you? 19:30 Practices to work with the energy of your emotions instead of avoiding them. 24:35 How to handle the intensity of having a bigger life.   RESOURCES + LINKS Save the date for the 2027 Powerhouse Women Event NOW: August 6-8, 2027!   FOLLOW Powerhouse Women: @powerhouse_women Lindsey: @lindseymarieofficial Visit the Powerhouse Women website: powerhousewomen.co Join the PW Community Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity

Most pet brands sell function. Denzel's Dog Treats built its challenger brand around something very different: Happiness!! In this conversation, I speak with founders James and Nathan about how they spotted an emotional gap in the pet category and used brand strategy, packaging, product format and occasion-based innovation to turn dog treats into something much bigger than a functional purchase.And the commercial results are what make this such an interesting story for founders scaling consumer brands. A Valentine's activation delivered around 15–17x the rate of sale of a normal promotion, with more than 60% of shoppers buying it having not previously bought from pet. Their advent calendar has become their bestselling SKU despite only being available for part of the year. We get into how seasonal innovation moved from “marketing stunt” to revenue channel, why they designed for grocery, hospitality and online from day one, and how becoming obsessive about the brand experience helped Denzel's create genuinely incremental growth.Use code BGH25 for 25% off Denzel's NEW Advent Calendars from https://www.denzels.co.uk/products/advent-calendarDetails below **Redeemable from https://www.denzels.co.uk/products/advent-calendar only25% off Advent CalendarApplies to one-time purchasesNo minimum purchase requirementOne use per customerCan't combine with other discountsEarly bird discount, active from 15 Sept to 22 Sept (23:59)What You'll LearnHow James and Nathan identified an emotional white space in a category dominated by functional positioning.Why Denzel's spent roughly 30–50% of its initial £25,000 startup loan on brand, design and packaging.How Valentine's treats generated around 15–17x normal promotional rate of sale and attracted shoppers who had never previously bought from pet.Why seasonal NPD has evolved into an acquisition funnel that can ultimately drive shoppers into the core Denzel's range.How to design products and formats around new channels and occasions rather than simply competing for space within your existing category.Key Topics DiscussedBuilding a pet brand around the “happiness exchange” between dogs and their ownersBorrowing inspiration from consumer brands such as BEAR rather than the existing pet categoryUsing Denzel himself as the central brand characterStarting the business with a £25,000 loanInvesting disproportionately in packaging and brand from day oneDesigning dog treats to work in grocery, cafés, pubs and onlineCreating selection boxes, Valentine's treats, Easter products, birthday products and advent calendarsBringing a Tesco Valentine's idea from conversation to delivery in only a few monthsDriving incremental category shoppers rather than simply stealing shareSelling more than 30,000 advent calendars through Denzel's own website during an early launchBecoming a bestseller on Amazon at ChristmasBuilding specific hospitality products including peanut butter brownie, banana bread and pistachio cheesecake treatsOutselling a chocolate Florentine in Caffè NeroThe operational pain behind seasonal forecasting and manufacturingTurning seasonal innovation into a repeatable retail growth modelBuilding the UK blueprint before selectively expanding into EuropeWhy packaging has to do more of the selling in crowded grocery categoriesTargeting what Denzel's calls “Gen Zennial pet parents”Useful links https://www.instagram.com/thedenzelstory/?hl=enhttps://www.denzels.co.uk/collections/shop-our-treats?srsltid=AfmBOorqeOYT4jb5u60GQa-AtYmjaba8MHZRynjaGkfn1vmkOy_DcN5ACommunity and review requestDid you get a nugget of value from this chat?

What if you're doing your best to follow God, but you honestly don't know what to do? Life doesn't always come with a clear five-step answer. Sometimes we're caught between our emotions, what we believe God is asking us to do, what other people are telling us, and the patterns we've relied on for years—and we're left wondering, How do I actually walk through this well? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to slow down when life feels complicated, untangle the different voices and emotions involved, and find a wise next step instead of feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] When You Don't Know How to Walk Through Something Well [02:00] Why We Sometimes Need Someone Outside the Situation [04:00] You Can Love Jesus and Still Not Know What to Do [07:00] “You Can't Read the Label From Inside the Jar” [08:00] Telling the Whole Truth About What's Happening Inside [09:00] Looking Beneath the Emotion for What's Really Driving It [11:00] Calming Your Body Before Trying to Figure It Out [16:00] The Everyday Situations That Can Leave Us Stuck [18:00] Finding Your Next Faithful Step RESOURCES:  Private Coaching with Alicia — Get personalized support for a specific relationship, emotional struggle or life situation.  AliciaMichelle.com/coaching  RELATED EPISODES: Ep. 378: What Actually Helps When You're Carrying a Lot Emotionally?

Almost all of us carry a shadow around our own feelings, either we fear them, stuff them down, or let them flood a room until no one can hear each other anymore. In this warm and honest convo, Christa welcomes writer Bailey Gillespie to talk about the shadow of big emotions, and how to bring real containment and boundaries to our feelings without silencing them. Bailey and her husband navigate a rich, layered marriage: neurodiversity including ADHD, a ten-year age gap, and two passionate, emotionally alive temperaments as a type 4 and type 6 pairing. Together, we explore why differentiation is key when both partners feel things deeply, how to hold a big feeling without being held hostage by it, and how to actually express what's real in a way your spouse can receive! If you and your spouse keep losing each other in the storm of big feelings, this one will meet you right where you are, with real hope. Watch on YouTube!

What if the anger you can't shake isn't really about anger at all?In this episode, Steph Saffer explores the tangled relationship between anger and grief, and how often one is used to hide the other. She shares personal experiences and client stories that show how anger can act as a shield, protecting people from having to sit with sadness and loss. Steph walks through why rage feels powerful and active while grief can feel like surrender, and why recognizing the grief underneath the anger is often the real starting point for healing. This conversation is an invitation to build more self-awareness around your own emotions and ask what you might be allowing yourself to actually grieve.In this episode you'll discover:Why anger and grief are so often intertwined, and how one can mask the otherThe difference between how rage feels versus how grief feels in the bodyWhat it looks like to recognize and process grief instead of avoiding itYour takeaways:Many people use anger to avoid feeling the sadness underneath itRecognizing the grief hiding beneath anger is often the first step toward healingUnresolved grief doesn't just stay emotional, it can show up as physical illness and ongoing distressChapters00:00 The Power of Anger and Grief09:05 Navigating Personal Experiences with Grief13:34 Healing Through Grief and Anger

Kennst du das Gefühl, dass jemand plötzlich anders ist – und du sofort denkst: „Habe ich etwas falsch gemacht?“ Dann wirst du besonders nett, entschuldigst dich vorsorglich oder versuchst alles, um die Stimmung wieder geradezubiegen. Genau darum geht es in dieser Folge: Fawning. Leon Windscheid und Atze Schröder sprechen über die vier Stressreaktionen Fight, Flight, Freeze und Fawn – und ob Fawning wirklich eine wissenschaftlich belegte Trauma-Reaktion oder eher ein hilfreiches psychologisches Modell ist. Und wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen Empathie, Rücksichtnahme und dem ständigen Aufgeben der eigenen Bedürfnisse?

This week, Dani and Jordan are catching up on everything from Dani finally getting back into working out six months postpartum to a very real conversation about SSRIs, anxiety, and what happens when you try to come off medication too quickly. Then we get into the internet rabbit holes: the man who allegedly spent years pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player and scammed 26 women out of more than $1 million, AI agents that are starting to sound a little too much like the plot of a sci-fi movie, and why everyone suddenly seems to be trading screen time for sourdough, sewing, and embroidery. Plus, Dani and Jordan talk about how life has shifted since moving to Nashville, redefining what “success” actually looks like, and why being surrounded by people who value faith, family, and fruitfulness over achievements has been surprisingly challenging — in the best way. It's internet chaos, life updates, a few rabbit holes, and some unexpectedly deep thoughts. Basically… a very De-Influenced episode.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores what progress really looks like after a career setback, especially when confidence has taken a hit. Not getting the promotion, opportunity, or yes we were hoping for can quickly turn disappointment into a much harsher opinion about what the outcome says about us. Cindy explains why the real obstacle is often not a skills or knowledge gap, but a belief gap. Limiting beliefs can turn one setback into a reason to play small, stay under the radar, and stop putting ourselves forward. The challenge is learning to separate the facts of what happened from the story we build. Progress in a low-confidence season rarely looks like the traditional workplace scoreboard. Cindy reframes progress as how quickly and skillfully we recover from setbacks, learn from them, and take the next deliberate action. That means processing disappointment without turning it into self-punishment, recognizing dysfunctional systems and bias without internalizing them, and building a private record of our own growth. A setback can teach us that we need more visible sponsorship, better communication about our accomplishments, or greater clarity about what success actually requires. Tracking our recovery time, lessons learned, actions taken, and the ways we have become faster, calmer, and clearer gives us an internal scoreboard we can trust, even when external recognition is slow to arrive. Confidence is not a prerequisite for action. It's often the result of it. Cindy encourages us to stop waiting until we feel ready and instead focus on small actions that allow confidence to compound quietly over time. She also explains why both emotion and logic have a role in creating momentum. Emotion lights the match and logic builds the fire pit around it. Real progress might mean catching a limiting belief before it becomes a decision, sitting with discomfort instead of retreating, putting a lesson into action, shortening our recovery time, or doing one small, brave thing before we feel ready. None of that may appear on someone else's highlight reel, but it still counts as progress.

Long before Chinese medicine took the form we recognize today, healers drilled holes in skulls to release demons. Philosophers debated what the universe was made of, while a wandering doctor read pulses instead of casting spells.In this conversation with Henry Tarazona, we trace that lineage from the wushi shamans through the Hundred Schools of Thought to Bian Que, often called the father of Chinese medicine, and ultimately to Sun Simiao.We also explore Sun Simiao's “13 Ghost Points,” which turn out to have far less to do with ghosts than with pattern differentiation expressed in language patients could understand.Finally, we unpack shen—a concept that “spirit” never quite captures—and consider it instead as the seat of cognition, emotion, and the body's own governance.Listen in for a conversation that moves between ancient battlefields and modern clinics, superstition and evidence, and the long effort to explain what's happening inside us when nothing else makes sense.

Le congé sabbatique peut-il aider une dirigeante à ralentir, prendre du recul et retrouver de la clarté sans renoncer à son ambition ?Dans cet épisode, vous découvrez comment :apprivoiser le ralentissement en créant volontairement des espaces vides dans votre agenda, sans chercher immédiatement à les remplir ;sortir de la performance permanente et retrouver un rythme plus juste, propice au repos, à la lecture et à la rêverie ;prendre du recul sur votre activité, vos décisions et les années écoulées pour observer ce qui fonctionne encore et ce qui doit évoluer ;laisser émerger votre créativité et clarifier vos envies, vos besoins, vos relations et votre avenir professionnel ;donner une place concrète à vos rêves, à votre famille et à votre bien-être, sans opposer ambition et sérénité.Après quinze ans de vie professionnelle intense, dont dix à la tête de sa propre entreprise, Jenny Chammas partage ce que trois mois de congé sabbatique activent en elle.Elle raconte la difficulté initiale à ralentir, la tendance à remplir son temps et le besoin de déconstruire une habitude profondément ancrée : faire, produire, avancer et se sentir valorisée dans l'action. Puis elle explique ce qui change lorsqu'elle s'autorise réellement à ne rien prévoir : le temps devient plus élastique, la pression diminue et la prise de recul s'installe.Pour une femme dirigeante, changer de rythme ne signifie pas perdre son élan. Cette pause permet de mieux comprendre les systèmes, de moins prendre les événements personnellement et de décider avec davantage de clarté. Elle ouvre aussi un espace inattendu pour la créativité, l'ennui, le plaisir et la pleine conscience, sans objectif de performance.Cet épisode vous invite enfin à réfléchir à votre équilibre pro/perso, à votre leadership équilibré et à cette question essentielle : que sommes-nous si nous ne sommes pas notre travail ?Une réflexion profonde sur le fait de ne pas se définir uniquement par sa carrière, de prendre du temps pour soi et de s'autoriser à réaliser ses rêves pour mieux revenir à ce qui compte vraiment.****Rejoignez la newsletter Sensées : elle vous donne accès à un concentré de coaching et d'inspiration.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Dr. Maggie Sass and Dr. Ross Blankenship, consulting psychologists and authors of Friction: How Tension, Emotion and Change Reveal Better Leaders. Project managers are trained to remove blockers, and much of the time that's exactly right. But Maggie and Ross draw a distinction that's easy to miss: some friction is simply waste, and some friction is information. You'll hear how the unwritten rules we learned about emotion early in life still shape how we lead, what starts happening in a room before an irritated leader says a word, and the four words Ross thinks can rescue a team meeting. We also dig into why burnout is often a system design problem instead of a self-care problem, what a project leader can actually do about structural friction when they can't redesign the whole system, and which human capabilities are worth protecting as AI makes more of our work faster and easier. If you're looking for a more practical way to read the tension on your team and use what it's telling you, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "But I think the unwritten rule at home was that talking about emotions and living through them safely were two distinct things." "Humans need things, and sometimes they don't even know what they need until you are together in a space or in a call." "You don't ask questions. You don't bring up creative ideas because you have no idea how that's really gonna go given what you're watching a leader do." "But I think the older I've gotten, the more convinced I am that our job as adults inside organizations is not necessarily to be perfect, but it's to repair as fast as possible when you make a mistake, and that's the thing that doesn't happen when people are scared." "I've found that these four words can save your team (and marriage): 'I'm experiencing some friction'." "It helps me remember that between the stimulus and the response, I have space, and the more that I give myself, the better." "There is no real way to separate task and relationship because the humans are doing the tasks." "Being the hero may allow you to solve massive problems or create really compelling products in the short term, but it's not a sustainable way to run a business because businesses are run by people and people have limits." "It's a good example where AI makes you more productive, like, you got 'em done faster, and almost entirely strips the meaning out of it." "And we need to take seriously that our kids need to learn to fail so that they develop resilience."

Edge God In Podcast 336: The Book of 1 Chronicles: When Faith is tested EdgeGodIn.com | Host: Estella Chavous Championing Human Potential in Christ Download Bible Study Template Learning Objectives By the end of this podcast and Bible study, participants will be able to: Understand the biblical context and major themes of 1 Chronicles, including identity, remembrance, leadership, worship, covenant, preparation, service, and spiritual legacy. Recognize how remembering God’s faithfulness can strengthen our identity and help us remain grounded during seasons of change. Identify behaviors, attitudes, and priorities that can either strengthen or weaken our relationship with God and our ability to fulfill what He has entrusted to us. Apply the EIC (Encounter–Identified Behavior–Course Correct) Framework to examine their relationship with God, their priorities, leadership, service, and preparation for what God is calling them to do. Develop greater spiritual confidence, intentionality, humility, and faithfulness as they seek to build lives that honor God and positively influence others. Three key areas of understanding: Remember Your Story Your Assignment Does Not Have to Look Like Someone Else’s Faithfulness Is a Form of Worship Scriptures: 1 Chronicles | Colossians 3:23 | Galatians 6:4 | Galatians 6:4 | Deuteronomy 8:2 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | Romans 12:1 | 1 Corinthians 3:6 | Psalm 77:11 | 1 Chronicles 29:11 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | 1 Chronicles 28:9 | 1 Chronicles 16:11 Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word and for the reminder that our lives are part of a story much greater than ourselves. As we begin our study of 1 Chronicles, help us understand the importance of remembering where we have come from, recognizing who we are in You, and understanding what You have entrusted to us. Teach us to value preparation as much as accomplishment. Help us understand that sometimes You call us to build, and sometimes You call us to prepare someone else to build. Give us the humility to serve when we are not receiving recognition. Give us the wisdom to prepare when the results are not yet visible. Give us the courage to lead with integrity and the discipline to remain faithful in the small things. Help us remember Your faithfulness in our past so that we can trust You with our future. Show us anything in our lives that needs to be realigned. Help us place You at the center of our priorities, our relationships, our work, our leadership, and our purpose. May our lives become an offering of worship to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

How do you keep a missed goal from becoming a judgment about your worth?As leaders and team members, it's easy to look at a number that fell short and immediately think, “I failed.” But what if missing a target is simply a fact—not a reflection of who you are? What if the real opportunity is learning how to separate the outcome from the story you tell yourself about it?In this episode of Success Genius, I dive into the neuroscience behind goals and why missing a target can feel so painful. We'll explore reward prediction error, how our nervous system responds when reality doesn't match our expectations, and why understanding the difference between what you control and what you only influence can completely change the way you approach goals.Join me as we unpack the goal separation practice: naming the facts before creating a story, separating full-control goals from partial-control goals, recognizing what actually overperformed, and using “and” instead of “but” to uncover the learning behind every missed goal.Because you are not the number. You are the person who keeps moving toward it—and learning along the way.Topics covered in this episode include:Why missing a goal can feel like a personal failureThe difference between goals you fully control and goals you only influenceHow reward prediction error affects the way we respond to missed targetsThe goal separation practice and how to separate facts from the stories we tell ourselvesHow to turn missed goals into opportunities for learning and better problem-solvingReady to change the way you think about goals? Tune in and learn how to separate your worth from the numbers, focus on what you can control, and use every result as an opportunity to learn and move forward.Resources Mentioned:Get The Book:  https://book.neillwilliams.com/bookLearn More About TEAM90:  https://neillwilliams.com/team90Book A Team Turnaround Call:  https://neillwilliams.com/team-turnaround-callContact Us: support@neillwilliams.com

Send Kevin a Text MessageAcademy Award-nominated screenwriter and director Billy Ray joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes stories work and why emotion, character, and integrity sit at the center of great screenwriting. Ray's credits include Captain Phillips, The Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Richard Jewell, State of Play, Breach, and Flightplan. He discusses the lessons he learned from writers and films that shaped him, the discipline that has sustained his career, adapting The Hunger Games, learning from failure as a director, and why audiences need to care about what happens rather than simply wonder what happens next.Integrity, Emotion, and the Stories Billy Ray Tells (01:41): Ray identifies integrity as the recurring theme in his work and explains why the best screenwriting is an intellectual exercise designed to create an emotional response. If audiences are thinking about how smart the writing is rather than feeling the story, he says, the writer has missed the mark.Early Experiences, Curiosity, and Becoming a Storyteller (05:29): Ray reflects on experiences that shaped him at a young age and how they contributed to his sensitivity to other people's emotions. He and Goetz discuss empathy, curiosity, and why genuine interest in other people is essential to both writing and life.Knowing Your Audience: Messaging and Persuasion (13:35): A discussion about political communication becomes a broader conversation about audiences. Ray argues that effective messaging begins by understanding where people are emotionally and moving them from there, a principle Goetz connects directly to movie marketing and persuasive advertising.What Makes a Great Screenplay? (22:38): Ray recalls growing up around writers through his father, a literary agent, and being handed Alvin Sargent's Ordinary People screenplay as the standard to aspire to. He explains his fundamental rule of character: a protagonist needs both an external problem to solve and an internal problem that only the journey of the movie can fix.Great Characters, Great Villains, and the Cathartic Contract (26:29): Using Ordinary People, Rocky, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sound of Music, and Schindler's List, Ray and Goetz examine character construction. Ray argues that a great antagonist needs a defensible point of view and that every supporting character should reveal a different facet of the protagonist.Outworking the Competition and Shattered Glass (42:01): Ray discusses early influences including Rod Serling, literature that challenged and comforted him, and his realization as a young writer that he could not control talent or the state of the industry, but he could control how hard he worked. He also names Shattered Glass, his feature directing debut, as the film of which he is most proud.The Hunger Games and the Art of Reverse Engineering (46:30): Ray remembers reading Suzanne Collins' novel overnight and immediately recognizing its potential. He describes using Jaws to persuade producer Nina Jacobson that changes could strengthen an adaptation, and explains the concept of reverse engineering a screenplay so the first two acts properly support a powerful ending. He also shares the extraordinary security measures involved in writing The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.Failure, Audience Testing, and the Oscar Chase (51:15): Ray speaks candidly about directing Secret in Their Eyes, recognizing that the film was not connecting strongly enough with audiences, and being shaken by the experience of losing an investor's money. He also reflects on his Oscar nomination for Captain Phillips, why awards can become addictive, and the danger of choosing projects because they seem like "Oscar movies" rather than because they are the right stories to tell.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Billy RayProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Billy Ray:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ray_%28screenwriter%29IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712753/Burn the Water: Available from Scholastic and booksellersFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

From August 29th, we continued our God of Emotion series with two of the most powerful words in Scripture: “Yeshua wept.”Why does Yeshua weep when He knows resurrection is coming?John 11 shows us that faith and grief are not opposites. We can trust God and still be angry. We can have hope and still hurt. We can believe in resurrection and still weep.Faith does not require emotional simplicity.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We were live from iCapital Connect's conference in Phoenix, where we sat down with some of the industry's leaders across asset management and wealth management.We spoke with Ava Mallin, Managing Director, US Private Wealth Solutions at Ardian.Ava brings a distinctive approach to how she works with the wealth channel. She emphasized that asset managers should treat capital as a client's legacy rather than “just dollars.” Speaking of legacy, Ardian is a firm with a rich legacy. The firm was born in 1996, when AXA's Chairman, Claude Bébéar, chairman of AXA, asked Dominique Senequier to create a private equity arm for the insurer. And so AXA Private Equity was born. The firm's first fund launched with a $100M French Buyout fund and two external clients.Today, Ardian stands tall as a giant in private markets, spanning asset classes and managing over $200B AUM.As a firm that provides investment solutions and customized strategies, Ardian thinks deeply about the breadth and depth of its relationships with LPs. Ava brings this perspective to bear in the wealth channel, which was evident in our conversation.Ava shared how she brings a uniquely human perspective to fundraising and partnering with the wealth channel. She believes managing money is managing emotion, which is critical for GPs to understand how wealth advisors manage their relationships with clients.We had a fascinating conversation, covering: The importance of understanding the human and emotional side that it takes to build enduring partnerships with LPs.Why US LPs have a growing interest in diversification and want exposure to Europe.Why secondaries is a partnership business with LPs and GPs.The importance of educating the wealth channel on private markets.Why Ardian prefers the term “evergreen” over “semi-liquid.” Why GPs should work with the wealth channel only if they have true commitment to the channel and top-down support from senior leadership.BioAva Mallin joined Ardian in 2022. She is responsible for Private Wealth relationships in the US. Prior to joining Ardian, she spent seven years at Carlyle in their Private Wealth group. She is based in New York.Thanks, Ava, for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion for how you approach working with the wealth channel and your focus on EQ as part of building relationships with advisors that enable them to treat their clients' capital as legacy.

We've all watched a kid "check out" and assumed they weren't trying — or weren't smart enough. This week, Teresa and Mark Lubovich blow that up. They run a learning center built on one radical tagline: connection before content. Their students don't get better at math because they get smarter; they get better because they finally feel safe enough to think. Glenn connects it straight to the Connection Codes protocol — intense emotion shuts down cognition, unprocessed emotion hinders it, and then gets honest about his own story of being called "dumb" as a kid and carrying that fear into his sixties. If you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or just someone who's ever felt like you were "doing it wrong," this one names something you've felt your whole life.In this episode:•Why "connection before content" changes everything about how kids (and adults) learn•The "ladder" of learning: core, processing, and executive function (and why we start at the bottom)•Primitive reflexes and the Moro (fight-or-flight) response — the kids who look fine but are holding their breath inside•How curiosity and identity get lost between age two and age ten — and what brings them back•Glenn's own story: fear of failure, fear of judgment, and the exhaustion of learning something new.About Teresa & Mark Lubovich: Teresa and Mark run a learning center that partners with students and families across the country and internationally, using assessments and directed programs to build the foundational skills: regulation, processing, executive function — that traditional tutoring can't reach. Longtime friends of Connection Codes, they've woven the Core Emotion Wheel into how they work with every student and family. Their guiding belief: program or not, kids need connection, regulation, and safety first.Resources mentioned:Teresa & Mark's website → https://brightheartlearning.com/Teresa & Mark's email: info@brightheartlearning.comTheir "ladder of learning" chart → https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M6DJqiTZArA6WqJtYkYDCPXcpPXe07S9/view?usp=sharingThe Core Emotion Wheel (free download) → https://connectioncodes.co/cew

Learn how to categorize your growth effectively. Documentation is often seen as a chore, but it is actually a vital tool for understanding your trajectory. Over the last nine years, I have maintained a consistent practice of life journaling to record my daily experiences. This has allowed me to spot patterns I would have otherwise missed. By keeping a record of my wins and failures, I can objectively see what is moving the needle and what is simply wasting time. When you look back at your history, the goal is not to judge yourself but to organize your experiences. I categorize my notes into three buckets: the good, the bad, and the beautiful. This simple framework helps me evaluate my professional growth without getting lost in the details. Whether you are focusing on career milestones or personal development, having a clear method for habit documentation makes it easier to iterate on your strategy for the future. You will learn how to apply personal progress tracking to your own life. Subscribe for daily productivity breakdowns, and comment below with which area of your life you are currently tracking.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations podcast! Today's guest is Dr. Brett Jones, a chiropractor, healer, father of two, and advocate for health freedom. After 16 years of clinical practice and 14 years as a business owner, Dr. Jones has dedicated his life to eradicating fear and helping people reclaim their personal sovereignty. In this powerful, deeply personal talk, Dr. Jones shares why true power lives in the center, not in anger or confrontation. He explores how getting caught in the "pendulum of emotion" keeps us burned out and thinking in groups instead of for ourselves, why sympathetic stress shuts down critical thinking, and how sovereignty of mind and body is what makes us human. He performs an original song for his daughter Willow Moon, shares indigenous wisdom about honoring seven generations past and future, and redefines "new normal" as the best future we can imagine. The episode closes with a guided breathwork meditation and a free masterclass offer on breaking away from mental slavery.   Highlights: "Your power is in the center. If I need to convince you, or I need to argue you, or I need to out-anger you, I'm keeping you away from me."   "If you're revved up, moving into sympathetic tone, you're losing the ability for critical thinking. There's a reason they're wanting to keep most people in fear."   "If you don't know your purpose, you don't know why you're here, and if you don't know why you're here, you don't know who you are."   "You know how the world changes? When you start being it."   Timestamps: 00:00 Future Foundations Mission & Health Freedom Intro 02:38 Introducing Dr. Brett Jones 04:39 Your Power Is in the Center 06:10 Caught in the Pendulum of Emotion 09:33 Sovereignty of Mind & Body 13:18 Original Song for Willow Moon 15:15 Indigenous Wisdom: Seven Generations 16:11 A Father's Promise to His Kids 17:44 Redefining "New Normal" 24:38 Guided Breathwork & Visualization Meditation   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom    Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc   Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/     About Dr. Brett Jones:   Meet @drbrettjones

Some days it feels like there's a ton of different voices in your head—each one saying something different. Which do we listen to? One says, "Do this," while another says, "No, stay here," and then guilt, fear, or another emotion gets added to the mix. In this episode, we're talking about where those competing thoughts and emotions can come from and how to make sense of them without automatically believing, obeying, or shutting them down. We'll look at the different parts of our inner experience, why emotions, predictions, beliefs, and needs aren't all the same thing, and how our past experiences can influence what feels loudest in the moment. Most importantly, we'll talk about what it looks like to bring all of those voices before the Holy Spirit, allowing them to be heard without allowing them to lead. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why It Can Feel Like You Have Conflicting Voices Inside [02:00] Understanding the Different Parts of Your Inner Experience [05:00] Emotions, Predictions, Beliefs + Needs Aren't All the Same [08:00] When Your Past Experiences Get Loud [10:00] Bringing Your Inner Noise to God Instead of Shutting It Down [14:00] Letting Every Voice Have a Seat—but Not the Head of the Table [17:00] Knowing What to Process With God + What to Bring to Someone Else [20:00] Taking Your Thoughts Captive Under the Authority of Christ RESOURCES: Emotional Confidence Club This month's Emotional Confidence Club topic goes deeper into how to make sense of the different voices inside, what to do when one voice gets especially loud, and how to discern what God may be asking you to do. The club takes these concepts beyond learning and helps you actually practice them in real-life situations alongside other Christian women. Learn more: AliciaMichelle.com/club RELATED EPISODES: Ep 374: 5 Types of Emotional Overwhelm—Which Are You Experiencing? Ep 373: What Is Emotional Regulation (And Why It's More Than Calming Yourself Down)  Ep 372: Why Managing Overwhelm Is Where Emotional Healing Begins  Send us Fan Mail

What if the goal of great leadership isn't to eliminate friction, but to learn from it? In this episode of LeaderChat, Maggie Sass, PhD, and Ross Blankenship, PhD, authors of Friction: How Tension, Emotion, and Change Reveal Better Leaders, join us to discuss what tension can reveal about leaders, teams, and the systems in which they work. You'll hear about: The three places friction shows up: within ourselves, between people, and within systems How leaders can help teams navigate tension without simply smoothing it over Why emotions can provide useful information during uncertainty The difference between unhealthy conflict and productive tension What can happen when a team becomes too frictionless How to recognize when the system, not the individual, is creating the problem Practical ways to respond more intentionally the next time friction shows up If you're navigating change, uncertainty, or tension on your team, this episode offers a different way to look at those difficult moments—and what they might be trying to tell you.

8-2-2026 AM What To Do When Every Emotion Is Activated by Clays Mill Baptist

What if sadness isn't something to fear, but a doorway to healing? Bryson and Randy continue their season on grief by digging into emotions — specifically, why sadness gets such a bad rap and what it actually does for us. They unpack Randy's concept of a "doorway emotion" (the one you default to — anger or sadness), why the emotion that isn't your doorway is usually the one you're most afraid of, and what happens when sadness gets buried instead of expressed. If you've been avoiding sadness because it feels weak, this episode might just change your mind — and if it does, send it to a friend who needs permission to feel it too.

In this episode Andrea Samadi explores how movement and sleep work together in a "brain operating system" for human performance, focusing on restorative sleep (deep + REM), personal WHOOP data, and the trade-offs created by early-morning exercise. She shares four lessons and a simple experiment to help listeners protect REM and deep sleep while maintaining an active life, emphasizing weekly rhythms, small changes, and tracking patterns rather than chasing perfect numbers. SEASON 16 | BONUS EPISODE 4 RESTORATIVE SLEEP Where Adaptation Happens Why deep sleep restores the body, REM helps integrate experience, and healthy habits must work together. ON BONUS EPISODE 4, YOU'LL LEARN: ✔ What restorative sleep really measures ✔ How deep sleep and REM support different forms of recovery ✔ Why REM percentage and duration tell different stories ✔ What my six-month sleep data revealed ✔ The hidden tradeoff behind my 4:00 AM hiking routine ✔ What happened when I slept just 21 minutes longer ✔ Why healthy habits can sometimes compete ✔ How to protect sleep without giving up movement ✔ 4 Lessons and a simple experiment for discovering your own best rhythm Episode Introduction Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we bridge neuroscience, social and emotional learning, and human performance to create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity and results. I'm Andrea Samadi, and throughout Season 16 we have been building what I call the Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a neuroscience-based framework for understanding how the systems of the brain and body work together to influence how we learn, adapt, connect, lead and ultimately perform. We are currently in Phase 3: Movement, Learning and Cognition. Movement is the foundation of this phase because it affects far more than our muscles. When we move, we activate processes throughout the brain and body. Movement supports neurogenesis—the development of new neurons—particularly in areas involved in learning and memory. It strengthens connections between neurons through synaptic plasticity. We covered neurogenesis on EP 141[i] if you want to revisit that episode, if you are as curious as I am about how to regrow our brain cells. Movement that we are learning in this phase, also influences brain chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and acetylcholine, which affect motivation, mood, attention and learning. Movement can also strengthen our resilience by helping us manage stress and become more emotionally flexible. It builds sleep pressure, (the longer we stay awake, the more adenosine accumulates that increases our need or “pressure” to rest) which can support deeper, more restorative sleep. And over time, these changes may contribute to greater creativity, insight, endurance and human potential. But movement only creates the stimulus. The benefits don't come from movement alone. They come from the way the brain and body respond to that movement—and that response is called adaptation. Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Recovery is what connects the effort we make today with the strength, resilience and capacity we hope to build tomorrow. Without adequate recovery, we can receive the stimulus without fully receiving the benefit. That is why sleep belongs inside the Movement Loop. Sleep is not separate from movement, learning or performance. It is one of the primary places where the brain and body respond to what we have asked them to do. Throughout Season 16, I've been sharing some of my own health and performance data as a living case study—not because everyone should try to reproduce my numbers, but because our individual trends can help us understand how neuroscience shows up in everyday life. I thought that if I was curious about understanding my numbers—and using them to improve my health, well-being and productivity—then other people might benefit from what I've learned along the way. My data has helped me see that movement, recovery and performance cannot be understood in isolation. They work together as a system: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery creates the conditions for adaptation. Restorative sleep is one of the places where that adaptation unfolds. And this brings us to one of the most important recovery metrics I've learned to follow: Restorative sleep. We often celebrate what happens while we're awake: Our productivity. Our focus. Our learning. Our movement. Our performance. But much of the adaptation supporting those abilities happens while we sleep. Deep sleep supports physical restoration. REM sleep supports emotional processing, memory integration and cognitive flexibility. Together, these stages help convert the demands of one day into greater capacity for the next. This episode began with one honest question about my own routine: THE QUESTION: What am I gaining by waking at 4:00 AM to hike—and what might I be giving up by not sleeping longer? This is not simply an episode about sleeping more. It is about creating a rhythm in which two essential health behaviors—sleep and exercise—support one another instead of competing for the same limited hours. You will see my data exactly as it is. Sleep is one of the weaker links in my current health routine, which makes it a useful place to learn. The goal is not to judge the data. The goal is to let the data ask a better question. Lesson 1: Restorative Sleep Contains Two Stories WHOOP (the wearable device that I use to measure sleep) defines restorative sleep as the combined time spent in deep sleep, also called slow-wave sleep, and REM sleep. Combining the two creates a useful overview, but separating them reveals two different parts of the story. Deep Sleep or Slow-Wave Sleep: Physical Restoration Deep sleep is concentrated more heavily in the earlier part of the night and supports processes associated with physical restoration. It is relevant after hiking, Zone 2 exercise, strength training and other demanding activity because sleep is part of how the body responds to the strain we create. During deep sleep: Tissue repair is supported. Growth hormone release increases. Immune function is supported. Energy is restored. The body adapts to physical strain. REM Sleep: Integration REM stands for rapid eye movement sleep and is known as the “mentally restorative” stage of sleep. This is where most dreams occur, and short-term memories are converted into long-term memories. During REM, the brain is highly active while most voluntary muscles remain temporarily inhibited. I'll never forget the part of our interview with Dr. Jaland Balal[ii], when he explained that this feature is what keeps us safe from moving around too much while we are sleeping, keeping our sleeping partners safe. REM has been associated with: Emotional processing Memory integration Aspects of learning Cognitive flexibility Creative associations Connecting new information with previous experiences Memory is supported across several sleep stages—not by REM alone. REM helps the brain process, connect and integrate. REM periods also tend to become longer as the night progresses. That means shortening the end of the sleep window may disproportionately reduce the opportunity for the longer, more REM-rich cycles that occur toward morning. Deep sleep helps restore the body. REM helps integrate the brain. We need both. That second sentence is personally meaningful because I have logged my dreams for years. A dream is not a diagnosis or a literal solution, and dreams can occur outside REM. But a dream log gives me a qualitative record of recurring emotions, images, relationships, problems and emerging ideas that my mind may still be processing. Since I enjoy learning, interviewing, writing, teaching and connecting ideas across neuroscience and social-emotional learning, REM matters for more than dream recall (which by itself is fascinating and something we will look deeper at in Phase 5 with Integration and Meaning). Lesson 2: My Data Revealed a Duration Gap When I looked at my WHOOP trends, the total restorative-sleep number was only the beginning.   Metric My average   Six-month restorative sleep 2 hr 43 min   Lifetime REM 1 hr 37 min   Last 90 days REM 1 hr 18 min   Last 30 days REM 1 hr 20 min   Recent REM percentage About 20% When I looked at six months of WHOOP data, my average restorative sleep was: 2 hours and 43 minutes per night. That number gave me the total time spent in deep sleep and REM—but it did not tell me how those two stages were distributed. When I separated them, another story emerged. My lifetime REM average was approximately: 1 hour and 37 minutes per night. But over my more recent periods, that changed: Last 90 days: approximately 1 hour and 18 minutes Last 30 days: approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes Recent REM percentage: approximately 20% of my total sleep Twenty percent is within a commonly reported adult range. But compared with my own lifetime average, my recent REM duration was approximately 17–19 minutes lower per night. That distinction matters. My REM percentage may appear healthy while my total REM duration is still lower than my personal historical average. So my real question became: Not “Is my REM normal?” but “What conditions help my brain produce more of its own normal REM?” This is the value of tracking. THE DATA LESSON: A population range provides context. Your baseline provides the story. Your trend gives you a question to test.           Lesson 3: The 4:00 AM Tradeoff I love hiking early. It gives me cardiovascular conditioning, time outside, morning light, mental clarity and consistency. In Arizona, it also helps me finish before extreme heat heats around 8am. But if I go to bed at 8:30 PM and wake at 4:00 AM, I create a maximum sleep opportunity of seven and a half hours. That is time in bed—not necessarily time asleep. It does not include the time required to fall asleep or periods of wakefulness during the night. If I remain in bed until 6:00 AM, I create two additional hours of sleep opportunity. Those two hours would not equal two hours of REM. They would contain a mixture of sleep stages and perhaps brief wakefulness. But because REM episodes generally lengthen later in the night, the added opportunity may protect some of the more REM-rich portion of sleep. If you want to understand sleep cycles, I highly recommend taking Dr. Mathew Walker's Masterclass[iii] The Science of Better Sleep. What the Early 4am Wake Gives Me Early movement and consistency Cardiovascular conditioning Time outdoors and morning light The mental and emotional benefits of hiking What Might it Cost Me Up to two hours of total sleep opportunity (lost) Part of one or more later sleep cycles (lost) Greater opportunity for REM and dream recall (important to me) Time for memory and emotional processing across sleep (important to me) The accurate interpretation is not that I lose two hours of REM. It is that I may give up two hours of sleep opportunity containing some of the night's more REM-rich cycles. That led to my central realization: healthy behaviors (like my early wake to hike) can compete when their timing is not coordinated. MY AHA MOMENT: Am I creating better sleep through movement—or repeatedly borrowing from the final part of sleep to make that movement happen? My wearable cannot prove that early wake times caused the change. Consumer wearables estimate sleep stages; they do not measure them with clinical polysomnography. But the pattern gives me a reasonable hypothesis to test. That is what self-tracking should do: not make us anxious about a number, but help us ask a better question. A Real-Time Clue: What 21 More Minutes Revealed While preparing this episode, my data gave me a real-time example of the tradeoff. On Thursday, August 27, I woke at 4:21 AM instead of 4:00 AM. That night I recorded three hours and two minutes of restorative sleep—the highest total of the week. It included one hour and seven minutes of deep sleep and one hour and 55 minutes of REM. That REM duration was approximately 35 minutes above my recent 30-day average. My graph in the show notes showed a substantial REM period close to the end of the sleep window. Twenty-one additional minutes cannot explain a 35-minute difference, and one night cannot establish cause. Sleep varies from night to night. But the observation supports the hypothesis that a 4:00 AM alarm may sometimes interrupt a REM period already underway. I also remembered my dream and added it to my dream log. That gave me another kind of data: not just how long I slept, but what my mind may have been processing, integrating or connecting. One night is a clue—not proof. Watch the trend. The lesson is not that 4:21 AM is a magical wake time. The lesson is that the final portion of sleep may be more valuable than its length makes it appear. A small extension may sometimes allow the brain to finish a cycle that an earlier alarm (or your natural body's alarm) would interrupt. Lesson 4: Build a Rhythm, Not a Perfect Day The remedy I've concluded is not to stop hiking, (I would be miserable) and it is not to maximize sleep or exercise in isolation (I wouldn't feel productive sleeping in longer). The solution is to create a weekly rhythm in which movement provides the stimulus and sleep protects the opportunity for adaptation. For me, that rhythm can include two kinds of days: 1. Early-Hike Days (twice a week) When a 4:00 AM wake time is necessary, (and possible). I can treat bedtime as part of the training plan. If family responsibilities the night before make a very early bedtime unrealistic, I can recognize that constraint and adapt. But it is important that I get to bed by 8:30pm if I want to wake up 4am.   2. Sleep-Protected Mornings On selected non-hiking days, I can remain asleep until approximately 5:00 or 6:00 AM and move later.  These mornings create more opportunity for later sleep cycles and give me a comparison condition for my experiment. What happens if I stay in bed longer? The goal is not a perfect day. The goal is a sustainable week. The Movement Loop is not: Move → Move More → Keep Pushing. It is: Movement → Recovery → Adaptation → Performance → Greater Capacity. For you, the listener, are you giving yourself enough time to recover? To Adapt? To Increase Performance? That leads to greater capacity? Or, did you notice, like me, that there was a trade off with your schedule? Tips to Implement: Run Your Own Restorative-Sleep Experiment You do not need my wake time, my REM number or a WHOOP device to learn from your own pattern. Use this five-step experiment for two to four weeks. Establish your baseline. Record your usual bedtime, wake time, estimated sleep duration, morning energy and—if available—deep and REM sleep for at least seven nights. The Whoop device rewards users who go to bed, and wake at the same time, calling it sleep consistency. Choose one change. Add 20–60 minutes of sleep opportunity on selected mornings, or move bedtime earlier before early-training days. Avoid changing every variable at once. Stanford Professor, Dr. Andrew Huberman[iv] suggests that if you can find a way to add heat to your sleeping environment in the final 2 hours of your sleep, it can increase your REM sleep. Sleeping just 21 more minutes for me made a notable difference. Protect movement differently. On sleep-protected mornings, move later, shorten the session or choose a lower-intensity option instead of skipping movement entirely. This was the game changer for me.  I opted for a walk on sleep protected days. Track a small set of outcomes. Use total sleep, restorative sleep or dream recall if available, morning clarity, afternoon energy and exercise quality. Optional wearable metrics include recovery, HRV and resting heart rate. This is where you have to notice what you see from this ONE change. It might be obvious like mine—I noticed that extra time led to a dream that I could recall. Review the pattern—not the best night. Compare at least one or two weeks of early mornings with sleep-protected mornings. Look for a repeatable combination that supports both recovery and movement. The patterns will reveal whether the ONE thing you changed made a difference for you. If you do use a wearable, remember that sleep stages are estimates. Use the device to compare patterns under similar conditions, not to diagnose a sleep disorder or chase a perfect stage score. KEY QUESTION: Can I preserve the benefits of movement without repeatedly borrowing the time my brain and body need for recovery? A Bigger Experiment Is Still Underway I have also removed one significant sleep disruptor and am tracking what happens to my REM, sleep stress, HRV, resting heart rate and recovery. I do not want to draw conclusions too early. I want enough data to distinguish a temporary response from a genuine physiological shift, so I will return to that experiment in a future episode. For now, the question is narrower: how can I protect restorative sleep while continuing to live an active life? Review  To review and conclude this week's BONUS EP 4, let's bring the four lessons—and the data—together. Lesson 1: Restorative Sleep Contains Two Stories Restorative sleep combines two important stages: Deep sleep and REM sleep. Deep sleep supports physical restoration and adaptation. REM supports emotional processing, memory integration, cognitive flexibility and creative association. We need both. Every morning, I look at my restorative-sleep total and hope it is closer to three hours than two. But this episode taught me not to stop at that combined number. The total gives me the overview. Deep sleep and REM tell me how that restoration was distributed. And REM is personally meaningful to me for another reason: I have recorded my dreams for years. Dream recall does not provide a literal interpretation of everything happening in my life. But it gives me a qualitative record of the emotions, experiences, problems and ideas my mind may still be processing. So Lesson 1 is: Restorative sleep is not one number. It contains the story of how the body restores—and how the brain integrates. Lesson 2: My Data Revealed a Duration Gap Over the past six months, my average restorative sleep has been two hours and 43 minutes. My recent REM has represented approximately 20% of my total sleep—a percentage that may appear reasonable. But when I looked at duration rather than percentage, I discovered that my recent REM was approximately 17–19 minutes below my lifetime average. REM percentage and REM duration answer different questions. Percentage tells me how my sleep was distributed. Duration tells me how much actual time my brain spent in that stage. That distinction matters because someone can have a reasonable REM percentage but still receive less total REM when the overall sleep window is shortened. So Lesson 2 is: A percentage can look healthy while duration still reveals a gap. This is why personal baselines are so valuable. Our trends help us identify the question we need to investigate. Lesson 3: The 4:00 AM Wake Time Creates a Tradeoff My data led me to examine my 4:00 AM wake time. Waking at 4:00 does not mean I am losing two hours of REM. It means I may be giving up two hours of total sleep opportunity—time that could contain approximately one to one-and-a-half later, more REM-rich sleep cycles. Then, while I was preparing this episode, I received an early clue. When I slept just 21 minutes longer—waking at 4:21 instead of 4:00—my restorative sleep reached three hours and two minutes. That included one hour and seven minutes of deep sleep and one hour and 55 minutes of REM—approximately 35 minutes more REM than my recent 30-day average. I also remembered my dream and added it to my dream log. Twenty-one additional minutes cannot explain the entire 35-minute difference, and one night does not prove causation. But the graph showed a substantial REM period close to the end of my sleep window. That gave me a clue worth investigating: My 4:00 AM wake time may sometimes interrupt a REM period that is already underway. So Lesson 3 is: The final portion of sleep may be more valuable than its length makes it appear. This does not mean that 4:21 is a magical wake time. It means that a small extension may sometimes allow the brain to finish a cycle that an earlier wake time would interrupt. Dr. Huberman, and Dr. Holmes offered tips to stay in bed longer, to capture REM rich sleep time. Lesson 4: Build a Rhythm, Not a Perfect Day My early-morning hikes provide cardiovascular conditioning, time outside, morning light, mental clarity and emotional regulation. They support my health. They also make me happy. The remedy is not to stop exercising and become miserable. The remedy is to protect sleep as well as I realistically can and arrange movement around a more complete sleep window. That might mean saving selected mornings for longer sleep. It might mean moving later on non-hiking days. It might mean moving bedtime earlier when possible. And it might mean shortening a workout when sleep has been limited. The goal is not to maximize sleep or exercise in isolation. It is to create a sustainable weekly rhythm in which both can happen. So Lesson 4 is: The best routine is not the one that produces a perfect number. It is the one that allows the whole system to work. Now let me ask you: Do you know how much restorative sleep you receive? Do you look beyond the total and examine both deep sleep and REM? Are you tracking percentages—or actual duration? Does your schedule give you enough sleep opportunity? And could one healthy behavior in your life be unintentionally competing with another? My restorative-sleep average gave me the overview. My REM duration revealed the tension. My 4:00 AM wake time created the hypothesis. My additional 21 minutes gave me an early clue. My next step is to test a better rhythm. That is what measurement is supposed to do. Not judge us. Not pressure us to produce a perfect number. Guide us toward a better decision. I hope this deeper look at restorative sleep encourages you to identify one small experiment of your own—not to chase a perfect number, but to discover the rhythm that helps you learn, adapt and perform at your best.   We'll see you next time as we return to Dr. John Medina's work—not to repeat what we have already learned about attention, but to answer the next question in the Movement Loop: once movement activates the brain, how does attention determine what becomes learning? From there, we'll revisit Jason Wittrock's work through a new lens: how metabolic health, nutrition and energy availability help the brain and body sustain movement, recovery and performance. Resources and Episode Pathway Phase 1: Regulation & Safety The Foundation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Everything begins with regulation. Before we can focus, learn, lead, or perform, the brain first asks one fundamental question: Am I safe? Throughout Phase 1, our guests showed us that regulation isn't simply about reducing stress—it's about creating the biological conditions that allow the brain to learn, adapt, and thrive. Together we explored: Baland Jalal – how sleep, curiosity, imagination, and creativity prepare the brain for learning. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/hypnagogic-genius-capture-your-best-ideas-at-the-edge-of-sleep/   Dr. Bruce Perry – why regulation, rhythm, and relationships form the foundation of every healthy nervous system.  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/safety-first-why-a-regulated-brain-is-the-key-to-learning/   Dr. Sui Wong – how lifestyle medicine and autonomic balance build lifelong brain resilience. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/your-eyes-the-brain-s-early-warning-system/   Rohan Dixit – how heart rate variability gives us real-time feedback on our ability to regulate stress. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/breathe-to-reset-how-hrv-tech-reveals-hidden-stress/   Dr. Kristen Holmes – how recovery metrics reveal our physiological readiness to perform. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/kristen-holmes-from-whoopcom-on-unlocking-a-better-you-measuring-sleep-recovery-and-strain/   Dr. Antonio Zadra – how sleep and dreaming consolidate memories, regulate emotions, and generate insight. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/when-brains-dream-how-sleep-integrates-emotion-insight-and-creativity/ Together these conversations taught us that sleep and stress regulation aren't optional—they're the operating system that allows every higher brain function to work. Phase 2: Motivation & Neurochemistry The Direction Core Question: What moves us into action? Once the brain feels safe, it becomes ready to pursue goals. In Phase 2, we explored the internal chemistry that transforms intention into action. Our experts helped us understand that sustainable motivation isn't about willpower—it's about aligning our beliefs, thoughts, attention, energy, and movement. Together we discovered: Bob Proctor — our beliefs determine the direction of our lives. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/belief-first-the-neuroscience-of-motivation/   Dr. Carolyn Leaf — our thinking literally changes our brain chemistry. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/thoughts-as-biology-how-your-mind-shapes-neurochemistry/   Dr. John Medina — attention determines what the brain encodes and remembers. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/theory-of-mind-the-missing-link-between-attention-reward-and-motivation   Dr. Anna Lembke- Dopamine, Motivation and Why the Brain Repeats Behavior https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/dopamine-nation-the-pleasure%e2%80%93pain-balance-that-drives-motivation/   Dr. Friederike Fabritius — managing our energy allows high performance to become sustainable. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/fun-fear-focus-closing-the-motivation-loop/   Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski — movement activates the brain, preparing it to learn. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/move-to-learn-how-movement-activates-the-brain-and-fuels-motivation/   By the end of Phase 2, we introduced what became The Motivation Loop, showing how beliefs influence thoughts, thoughts influence actions, actions create results, and results reinforce future beliefs. Phase 3: Movement, Learning & Human Performance The Transformation Core Question: How does movement change the brain—and how does recovery transform that change into performance? Now we're taking the next step. Phase 3 builds on everything we've learned so far. If Phase 1 created a regulated nervous system... If Phase 2 created motivation and direction... Phase 3 explains how the brain and body actually become stronger. Together we've explored this process through conversations with: Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski — why movement activates the brain before learning. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/   Dr. John Ratey — how exercise builds a healthier, younger brain. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-matters-how-every-move-rewires-the-brain/   Dr. Kristen Holmes — why recovery determines adaptation and readiness. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-isnt-enough-how-recovery-drives-real-adaptation   Dr. John Medina — how attention transforms movement into lasting learning. Jason Whitrock — how metabolism and cellular energy fuel long-term performance. WHERE WE ARE GOING NEXT Phase 4 — Connection, Emotion & Social Intelligence The Human System Core Question: How do we thrive with other people? The brain didn't evolve in isolation—it evolved through relationships. In Phase 4, we'll explore emotional intelligence, empathy, communication, trust, leadership, and psychological safety to understand how our relationships shape learning, well-being, and performance. Phase 5 — Integration & Human Performance The Complete System Core Question: How do all the systems work together? In our final phase, we'll bring everything together—regulation, motivation, movement, emotion, relationships, learning, and recovery—into one integrated framework. We'll discover how these systems work together to create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results.

#1057 What if the only thing standing between you and your next level of success isn't strategy — but the way your mind handles pressure, uncertainty, and fear? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Itamar Marani — former Israeli special operations and undercover agent turned elite performance coach — to unpack how high achievers unlock their next level when pressure is high and clarity is low. Itamar shares his surprising path from special ops to running a marketing agency, to being urged by successful founders to “ditch the agency and coach,” ultimately leading to his coaching-and-consulting business. He breaks down the three “success killers” that quietly cap an entrepreneur's growth and how to shift from emotion-driven decisions to strategy-driven action so you can stop procrastinating, stop playing small, and start performing like the version of you who already has the results! (Original Air Date - 12/29/25) What we discuss with Itamar: + Special ops to entrepreneurship + Mindset under pressure + From agency to coaching + Elite performance principles + Imposter syndrome & discomfort + Three “success killers” + Playing not to lose + Emotion vs strategy + Permission to take action Thank you, Itamar!

Let's break down this heartbreaking case of Lindsay Clancy together, the same way we would if you were sitting across from me in a small back office with a single lamp, a stack of case files, and the door cracked open. The Lindsay Clancy case has stirred up a level of emotion and tribalism that's drowning out the evidence, and I wanted to bring in someone who's been in the trenches on cases just like this. So I sat down with retired Houston Police Homicide Detective Fil Waters — a guy who worked the Andrea Yates murders and has interviewed mothers who killed their children under circumstances eerily similar to what we're seeing now.In this episode, we talk about the tension between mental health crises and purposeful behavior, the high legal bar for insanity, and the investigative questions that matter when you're trying to understand whether someone knew right from wrong. Fil shares what he saw in the Yates case, in other filicide cases he worked, and how those experiences shape the way he views the Clancy case. This isn't about sensationalism. It's about clarity, compassion, and disciplined behavioral analysis — and about helping people who are genuinely trying to make sense of something that may never feel fully explainable.#ProfilingEvil #TrueCrimeCommunity #LindsayClancy #AndreaYates #FilWaters #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminalProfiling #CrimeSceneAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #EvidenceBasedAnalysis #MentalHealthAwareness #PostpartumPsychosis #JusticeSystem #CourtroomAnalysis #CrimeAndPsychology #ChildSafety #TrueCrimeDiscussion #LawEnforcementInsights #HoustonPolice========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Do Intrusive Thoughts Last Forever? Here's What Actually Makes Them StickIf you've ever been told "you're just going to have these thoughts forever, you'll have to learn to cope," this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down why that advice is not only wrong, it's part of what keeps people stuck in the OCD and anxiety loop.Matt explains the real difference between a thought that's neutral and a thought that feels intrusive — and it has nothing to do with the content of the thought itself. Once you understand what's actually driving the intrusive experience, you stop fighting a battle you were never going to win.Get started here: app.restoredminds.com

How do you know if you are truly processing an emotion or just stuck thinking about it over and over? This week, I answer a Coaching Hotline question about the difference between allowing a negative emotion and getting caught in a cycle of recreating it. I explain why the question is not whether you are “indulging” an emotion, but whether you are allowing feelings to move through your body or continuing to fuel them with the same thoughts on repeat.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/519Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/Mentioned in this episode:What's really blocking you from speaking up?You already suspect you hold back from asking for what you want or telling the truth about how you feel.

Dr. Ralph Adolphs, PhD, is a Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Biology at Caltech and a leading expert on the science of human emotions. We discuss how emotions shape our attention and decision-making, whether emotions are truly “stored” in the body, and whether facial expressions are truly reliable signals of emotion. We also cover tools for improving emotional regulation, including cognitive reappraisal and deliberate cold exposure. This episode provides a modern scientific explanation of how emotions are created and regulated in the brain and body, their many impacts on other aspects of brain function, and practical tools for improving emotional wellbeing and processing.
