Podcasts about Emotion

The body is always speaking — through tension, emotion, intuition, and energy. The question is: are we listening? In this week's episode, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. John Amaral — a world-renowned energy practitioner, chiropractor, and educator who has worked with thousands of people across more than 70 countries, including Oscar-winning actors, Grammy-winning musicians, Olympic athletes, and global leaders, including his decades-long collaboration with Tony Robbins. We explore how trauma and emotion get trapped in the body, why awareness is essential for growth, and how developing somatic and energetic sensitivity allows us to feel, truly feel, what's happening beneath the surface.   We talk about the difference between releasing energy and avoiding emotion, how the body adapts when we lose choice, and why feeling deeply — rather than bypassing discomfort — is the key to genuine healing and embodiment. When you reconnect to your body and learn to really feel ALL of the feels, healing becomes not something you chase — but something that naturally unfolds.  Key Moments You'll Love ✨

Send us a textThis week we re-visit an amazing episode with Sarah Martin, who received a text in the middle of the night from a stranger, saying that her 21 year old Daughter, Alice, who was traveling on the other side of the world, was in trouble. Alice was last seen in Turkey, while Sarah and the rest of the family, live in Australia. This episode is a rollercoaster, as Sarah begins a race to rescue Alice from what appeared to be a psychotic break, in a city thousands of miles away. Sarah has written a book about the ordeal, and you can listen to it first hand in this raw, emotional and incredible episode! 'Dear Psychosis', is Sarah's debut book and is an account of her family's experience following their daughter's first-ever psychotic episode and the trauma that ensued. It is a story of recovery, hope and the power of family.LINKS FOR SARAH:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-martin123Webpage: Sarah Martin Author - Psychosis, AuthorTiktok: SarahMartinAuthor (@sarahmartinauthor) | TikTok                 Instagram: Sarah Martin (@sarahmartin.author) • Instagram photos and videosFacebook: (3) FacebookAmazon : Dear Psychosis, eBook : Martin, Sarah: Amazon.com.au: Kindle StoreSupport the show

August 2016: Im Flur ihres Hauses wird die Münchner Architektin Jingmei Tsai* von ihrem Ex-Freund niedergestochen, den sie sieben Jahre zuvor verlassen hatte. Jahrelang hatte er sie nach der Trennung gestalkt und bedroht, bevor er sie tötete. Leider kein tragischer Einzelfall: Laut Bundeskriminalamt wurden hierzulande allein 2023 rund 360 Frauen und Mädchen Opfer eines vollendeten Tötungsdelikts – beinahe eine weibliche Person pro Tag. Bei mehr als 40 Prozent war der Täter ein ehemaliger oder aktueller Lebensgefährte des Opfers. Die Zahlen zeigen: Das Thema „Femizid“ geht uns alle an. Doch bis heute tun sich Wissenschaft und Justiz schwer, geschlechtsspezifische Tötungen von Frauen zu definieren und zu bewerten. Warum das so ist, beleuchtet die zweiteilige Spezialfolge. Zu Gast im Aufnahmestudio: Oberstaatsanwältin Katja Mühlbauer. Sie leitet bei der Staatsanwaltschaft München I die Abteilung für Kapitaldelikte und berichtet von den Ermittlungen im Fall Jingmei Tsai. Im Interview stellt Kriminologe Florian Rebmann erstmals Ergebnisse aus einer neuen Studie unter der Leitung von Prof. Jörg Kinzig vor, die rund 300 Fallakten von Femiziden empirisch untersucht hat. Das Forscherteam ist dabei der Frage nachgegangen, welche Risikofaktoren es bei solchen Taten gibt und was Strafverfolgungsbehörden und die Gesellschaft mitunter tun können, um sie zu verhindern. *Name von der Redaktion geändert Noch mehr Informationen rund um das Thema Gewalt gegen Frauen und Mädchen findet ihr anlässlich des europaweiten Aktionstages im ZDF Streamingportal: gegengewaltanfrauen.zdf.de *** Anlaufstellen und Hilfsangebote bei häuslicher Gewalt, partnerschaftlicher Gewalt oder Stalking: • Hilfetelefon „Gewalt gegen Frauen“, kostenlos und rund um die Uhr, auch als Beratung für Frauenhäuser.

Im November 2017 trennt sich Ana Horváth* von ihrem gewalttätigen Ehemann und will endlich ein neues Leben beginnen – am nächsten Morgen verfolgt er sie auf dem Weg zur U-Bahn, sticht 24 Mal auf sie ein und tötet sie. Das Landgericht München verurteilt ihn wegen Mordes, doch der Bundesgerichtshof hebt das Urteil auf – Die niedrigen Beweggründe seien nicht eindeutig gegeben. Ein Urteil, das selbst erfahrene Juristen fassungslos macht. Im zweiten Teil unseres Spezials zum Thema Femizid blicken wir hinter die Kulissen solcher Entscheidungen. Richter Dr. Laurent Lafleur vom Oberlandesgericht München berichtet von der aktuellen Gesetzeslage in Deutschland und geht auf die gesellschaftliche Diskussion um ein weiteres Mordmerkmal im Strafgesetzbuch ein. Er erklärt, warum gerade Trennungstötungen in der Rechtsprechung oft unterschiedlich bewertet werden – und warum einige BGH-Urteile aus seiner Sicht gefährliche Signale senden. Im Interview: Florian Rebmann vom Kriminologischen Institut der Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, der als akademischer Mitarbeiter an einer großangelegten Studie zu Femiziden in Deutschland beteiligt war. Er geht näher auf die Definition von Femiziden und die misogynen Motive der Täter ein. Außerdem erläutert der hessische Justizminister Christian Heinz im O-Ton, wie die Fußfessel nach spanischem Modell Opfer präventiv vor Tötungsdelikten schützen kann. *Name von der Redaktion geändert Noch mehr Informationen rund um das Thema Gewalt gegen Frauen und Mädchen findet ihr anlässlich des europaweiten Aktionstages im ZDF Streamingportal: gegengewaltanfrauen.zdf.de *** Anlaufstellen und Hilfsangebote bei häuslicher Gewalt, partnerschaftlicher Gewalt oder Stalking: • Hilfetelefon „Gewalt gegen Frauen“, kostenlos und rund um die Uhr, auch als Beratung für Frauenhäuser.

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

Where are your thoughts leading you? If you've ever caught yourself spiraling into self-doubt, overthinking, or feeling "stuck," this episode will remind you just how powerful your mind truly is. I'm unpacking the Universal Law of Thinking, the principle that says whatever we consistently think about, with emotion and belief, expands into reality. In this conversation, I share how clarity and self-trust work together to turn invisible ideas into tangible results, both in life and business. You'll learn how to recognize when your thoughts are working for you or against you, and how to realign them so energy flows where it can actually serve you. ☑️ Discover why clarity is the accelerator of creation, not overplanning. ☑️ Learn how self-trust organizes your thinking and amplifies aligned action. ☑️ Explore how to shift from reactive to responsible thinking so your results match your vision. Your thoughts are creative energy. When you combine clarity, trust, and aligned action, you stop spinning and start expanding. If this episode resonates, and you're ready to align your thinking with your next level of business growth, grab one of my limited Next-Level Strategy Sessions open this month. Let's rewire your thinking patterns, activate your vision for 2026, and create clear, aligned strategies to make it real.

If you've ever stared at a “competition worthy” image and thought, “Is this actually any good, or am I just emotionally attached and mildly delusional?” then this episode is for you. In this one, I'm lifting the lid on what really happens inside a judge's head when your prints hit the panel: the mindset you need, the mistakes we see over and over again, and the tiny details that can quietly kill an otherwise beautiful image. We'll talk blown highlights, grubby greys, over sharpening, dodgy mounts, vignettes turned up to eleven, and why blindly following the latest photo trend might actually sink your chances. We'll also get into mentors, titles, paper choice, time pressure (my personal kryptonite), and why the only real failure in competitions is not to enter at all. If you're thinking about qualifications, print comps or you just want to finish your images to a higher standard, grab a drink, have a listen, and then go and do something brave with your work.

With their ninth studio album, Another Miracle, landing on November 14 - and an Australian tour commencing May 7, 2026 - Of Mice & Men are stepping boldly into their next era—one defined by emotional depth, creative freedom, and an unshakeable bond with their fans. Drummer Valentino Arteaga speaks about the record with a mix of pride and awe, describing it as a “journey” built on layered soundscapes, soaring melodies, and crushing heaviness. It's an album meant to be absorbed front to back, not just thrown on a playlist.Self-produced and richly textured, Another Miracle reflects a band continually pushing their own boundaries. Valentino compares its intricate sonic layers to “ten wedding cakes stacked on top of each other,” each one representing experimentation, growth, and the group's ever-expanding musical vocabulary. Songs were crafted during a period of major life changes, including frontman Aaron Pauley discovering he was about to become a father, which brought a new emotional dimension to the writing.Valentino's current favourite track, Troubled Water, mirrors the album's dynamic energy with groove-driven drumming and bold performances. Yet he insists each song offers something different: “With Of Mice & Men, there's something for everybody.”Despite their evolution, one thing remains firmly intact; their connection to fans. Community is at the heart of their legacy, and it's something the band is determined to honour. “When you come to an Of Mice & Men show, you're there with family,” Valentino says. That spirit will follow them to Australia in May 2026, where they'll tour with genre-blurring heavyweights Crystal Lake for what promises to be an explosive run of shows.With Another Miracle, Of Mice & Men aren't just reinventing their sound, they're reaffirming why their music continues to resonate so deeply after 16 years: honesty, passion, and a commitment to constant elevation.OF MICE & MEN + CRYSTAL LAKE May 2026 Australian Tour DatesTuesday 5th May - PERTH, Magnet HouseThursday 7th May - ADELAIDE, Lion Arts FactoryFriday 8th May - MELBOURNE, 170 RussellSaturday 9th May - SYDNEY, Manning BarSunday 10th May - BRISBANE, The TriffidTickets: https://thephoenix.au/of-mice-men-2026/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

My guest is Matt Abrahams, lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and a world expert in communication and public speaking. He explains how to speak with clarity and confidence and how to be more authentic in your communication in all settings: public, work, relationships, etc. He shares how to eliminate filler words ("umm"-ing), how to overcome stage fright and how to structure messages in a way that makes audiences remember the information. He also shares how to recover gracefully if you "blank out" on stage and simple drills and frameworks that dramatically improve spontaneity, storytelling and overall communication effectiveness. People of all ages and communication styles will benefit from the practical, evidence-supported protocols Matt shares to help you communicate with greater confidence and impact.

Modern Christianity is popular…but often hollow.Jesus offered living water, yet today many believers feel thin, fragile, emotional, and spiritually inconsistent. Why?In this powerful episode of Behind the Mike Podcast with Mike Stone, we walk boldly into one of the most important conversations happening in the Church today—how our faith culture traded depth for convenience, discipleship for consumption, and transformation for emotional experience.This message is firm, loving, and grounded in Scripture. If you've ever looked around and wondered, “How did we get here?”—this episode is for you.

Note: Connor was a 3X World Series of Poker champion when this episode was recorded, and hours before his birthday earlier this month, he won his 4th World Series of Poker circuit championship! When life dealt him a losing hand, Connor Steinbrook didn't fold. He went all-in and stormed back. In this episode, Mike welcomes back four-time World Series of Poker champion turned real estate powerhouse to uncover how one man went from the chaos of online poker shutdowns to leading one of eXp Realty's most dominant teams—The Wolf Pack. Connor's story plays out like a classic comeback movie: a sudden crash, a crisis of identity, and a rediscovery of faith, discipline, and purpose that sparked an empire. He reveals how the skills that made him elite at the poker table—emotional control, precision under pressure, and relentless focus—became the foundation for scaling one of the largest and fastest-growing real estate groups in North America. But this episode isn't only about business, it's about the inner game. Connor breaks down his signature 10-45-45 Rule of Communication, showing why energy and emotion speak louder than words. He opens up about building mental clarity through visualization, solitude, and faith, and why mastering your mindset is the ultimate key to success. IN THIS EPISODE:

Leigh Ann and returning guest Carol Look discuss the transformative power of gratitude and EFT tapping, exploring how these practices can enhance emotional well-being. They delve into the skepticism surrounding gratitude, the importance of embodying it rather than merely intellectualizing it, and the dangers of toxic positivity. The conversation highlights the significance of acknowledging pain before embracing gratitude, understanding self-sabotage in happiness, and the dysregulation that can accompany joy. They emphasize the need for daily practices to build resilience and navigate emotional triggers, ultimately advocating for a compassionate approach to personal growth and emotional health.Product Discount Codes + Links2025 Holistic Holiday Gift Guide: HereHerbal Face Food: Website (Discount Code: LAL30)The Fullest: Website (discount code: LEIGH15)Healing Alchemy Membership: Learn MoreEpisode LinksYes, Thank You PortalCarol's New Book: Yes, Thank YouGuest InfoCarol Look - WebsiteCarol Look - InstagramRelated EpisodesPodcast Ep. 178: Sheri Salata - Creating a Life of Joy and AuthenticityPodcast Ep. 168: Jonny Miller - Finding Balance: The Art of Emotional and Nervous System RegulationPodcast Ep. 155: Aline LaPierre - Connecting Mind, Body, and Emotion with NeuroAffective TouchWork w/Leigh AnnLearn: What is EVOX Therapy?Book: Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery CallMembership: What is The Healing Alchemy MembershipConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.In this special episode, we dive into one of the most important and most misunderstood topics in the entire Stoic tradition: the nature of emotion. Today, I'm joined by Margaret Graver, the Aaron Lawrence Professor of Classics at Dartmouth College, and one of the world's leading scholars on ancient Stoicism. Her book Stoicism and Emotion has shaped how modern readers understand the emotional life of the Stoics. Together, we explore how ancient philosophy can help us meet the complexity of our own inner lives.At the heart of this episode is the Stoic idea that emotions are not things that happen to us, but judgments we make, often unconsciously, about what is good or bad. For the Stoics, joy is not mere smiling or comfort, but the deep, steady uplift that comes from living in harmony with reason, virtue, and our responsibilities to others.Margaret explains how Stoicism views emotions as voluntary in structure but not always voluntary in the moment, why some emotions feel automatic, and how the Stoics distinguished between destructive impulses and the good emotions grounded in truth. We discuss the role of character formation, the misconceptions about “suppressing feelings,” and why Stoicism is far more about love, courage, community, and responsibility than about detachment.In a world of constant stimulation and quick reactions, Stoicism helps us return to clarity. It shows us that emotions are not enemies but signals, invitations to examine ourselves more honestly. By the end of this episode, you'll see that Stoicism isn't about shutting down your humanity; it's about living wisely, lovingly, and courageously within it.Listen to the full episode to get a clear introduction into Stoicism and Emotions, and follow this up by reading Margaret Graver's book.Learn more about Margaret Graver here:Dartmouth Faculty Page:https://classics.dartmouth.edu/people/margaret-graverBooks:• Stoicism and Emotion – University of Chicago Presshttps://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo3625910.html• Seneca: The Literary Philosopher – Cambridge University Presshttps://www.cambridge.org/core/books/seneca/O01F0E7E3C9D6469A4C47A65BE85866EFollow us on:

What if every flare of anger, fear, or guilt is a doorway to freedom rather than a problem to fix? We take a fresh, practical look at emotions as opportunities to dissolve judgments, retire old decisions, and let our higher nature lead without force or denial. Instead of managing reactions to emotions, we map a clear route to their roots and show how to unwind the pattern where it started.By the end, you'll have a usable method for meeting intense moments, a kinder lens on other people's behavior, and a renewed sense of what it means to “marry” higher and lower self. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's ready to stop looping reactions, and leave a review to help more listeners find these tools.

What if the secret to success wasn't about chasing attention — instead it was about being remembered?In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan brings it all full circle, explaining why MindShare isn't just a marketing idea — it's the foundation of influence in every part of life.From running a business to leading a team, parenting your kids, or coaching athletes — the ability to stay top-of-mind is what drives trust, loyalty, and long-term success.David shares the four pillars of building MindShare — consistency, relevance, emotion, and presence — and shows how to apply them everywhere, every day.Whether you're a REALTOR®, entrepreneur, parent, or leader, this episode will reshape the way you think about influence, connection, and lasting impact.

The Visual Intonation Podcast welcomes filmmaker Alicia K. Harris, a storyteller who turns quiet moments into vivid emotional landscapes. She joins us from Scarborough, the community that shaped her artistry and continues to pulse beneath every frame she creates. Alicia talks about the lessons that carried her from student sets to national stages, and how early affirmations like the Best Director award at Ryerson helped her believe that her voice belonged in the world.In this episode she traces the path from her first short film Fatherhood to her breakout success with Pick, the film that earned her a Canadian Screen Award and opened new doors across the country. She shares how each project taught her a different truth, from the bruised comedy of Love Stinks to the quiet power woven through All Things But Forget and Maybe If It Were a Nice Room. Alicia explains how she builds characters who breathe, falter, fight, and invite audiences to see themselves without apology.We explore the creative courage behind On a Sunday at Eleven, the film that brought her a second Canadian Screen Award. Alicia reflects on the craft decisions that shaped it, the patience it demanded, and the joy of seeing a personal story resonate with so many viewers. She also talks about stepping into television, directing episodes of Lockdown, The Parker Andersons, Amelia Parker, and Beyond Black Beauty, where she won the award for Best Direction in a Children's or Youth Program or Series.Alicia closes with a look at the mission that fuels Sugar Glass Films, the company she co founded to champion women and marginalized voices. She speaks about mentorship, community, and the responsibility she feels to widen the gate for the filmmakers coming after her. This conversation is a study in artistic intention, a reminder that great work begins with a single truthful idea, and a celebration of a filmmaker who continues to shape Canadian cinema with clarity and heart.Alicia K.

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike breaks open the truth behind emotional storage, nervous system release, and the real work of personal freedom: Shadow Work. This isn't about coping. It's about healing the unprocessed emotions that are still running your life from the inside. If you're ready to stop reacting, stop holding it all in, and start releasing what's not yours to carry — this episode is your how.Key TakeawaysShadow Work Is About Releasing What's Stored, Not What's New Most emotions aren't new — they're old wounds triggered again. Shadow work clears the internal pressure.You Can't Think Your Way Out of Stored Emotion You have to feel it. Amplify it. Breathe through it. And release it with presence.The Nervous System Stores Emotional Residue Unprocessed experiences live in the body until they're moved through consciously.The Drill Method Is the Tool Drop into the body. Recognize. Inquire. Listen. Let go. It works because it goes beyond mindset.Letting Go of Low-Level Energy Raises Your Reality Peace, power, and overflow are on the other side of clearing shame, guilt, fear, and grief.Notable Quotes“Shadow work will help you do that. You put yourself into the experience that you're trying to avoid. You visualize the experience. You feel the experience. And then as you feel and amplify, you begin to breathe and release all the emotion that you've just dredged up.”“Emotion is like an orange and a knife. The knife doesn't create the juice. The knife just reveals it.”“You don't reach for the higher levels. You let go of the lower levels.”“You just allow yourself to go deeper into it and explore and allow yourself to let it go.”“Every single time I do shadow work, something amazing happens.”Call to Action

Send us a textWhat if one of the most devastating, life-altering experiences isn't visible from the outside but silently shatters someone's identity, relationships, and sense of control?As a Harvard-trained fertility specialist, Gabriela Rosa, has spent over 20 years working with individuals and couples whose lives were flipped upside down by the heartbreak of not being able to conceive. She's walked beside thousands through the silent trauma of repeated loss, the mental health fallout of failed attempts, the breakdown of marriages, and the overwhelming isolation that comes when your body doesn't do what it's “supposed to.”The pain is real - even though the world often dismisses it. And the recovery? It requires an entirely new way of relating to your body, your dreams, and your definition of self-worth.Gabriela comes with the collective stories of the people she's helped through their darkest, most vulnerable moments. She believes that behind every fertility challenge is a human experience of trauma, and she has powerful insight into what healing looks like when life doesn't go as planned.

What is consciousness actually doing?In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, neuroscientist and theorist Dr Adam Safron joins Dr Tevin Naidu to explore one of the most ambitious frameworks in contemporary consciousness science - Integrated World Modeling Theory (IWMT).IWMT unites leading theories like Integrated Information Theory (IIT), Global Workspace Theory (GWT), and the Free Energy Principle (FEP) into one powerful vision: that consciousness is the brain's model of its own embodied relationship to the world.Together, they examine:- How consciousness might function as a control system for adaptive intelligence- Why embodiment and emotion are essential to conscious experience- Whether consciousness is truly causal, and how this reframes free will- How psychedelics, meditation, and altered states reveal the structure of the self-model- And what IWMT tells us about AI, evolution, and the universe itself Bridging neuroscience, philosophy, and cybernetics, this conversation invites you to rethink what it means to be aware.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) – Introduction (02:15) – Why Consciousness Matters in the Universe(05:24) – What Is Integrated World Modeling Theory (IWMT)?(09:03) – Modeling the Self, Modeling the World(12:12) – Consciousness as Embodied Simulation(16:38) – Is Consciousness Causal?(20:25) – Agency and the Active Inference Brain(24:30) – Free Energy & Free Will(29:17) – The Hierarchy of Minds(34:42) – From Computation to Experience(39:28) – Why Consciousness Defies Reduction(43:05) – The Psychedelic Brain and World Modeling(47:56) – The Role of Emotion in Consciousness(52:12) – Consciousness and Causation: The Recursive Loop(57:20) – Evolution, Embodiment & the Origins of Mind(1:02:00) – Artificial Minds & Synthetic Consciousness(1:07:25) – The Cybernetic Universe Hypothesis(1:12:38) – Psychedelics & AI(1:24:45) – Engineering Artificial Consciousness(1:27:10) – Toward an Integrated, Compassionate Understanding of Mind(1:44:00) – ConclusionEPISODE LINKS:- Adam's Website: https://www.adamsafron.com/- Adam's X: https://twitter.com/adamsafron- Adam's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AdamSafron/- Adam's Publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=dZOoilgAAAAJ&hl=enCONNECT:- Website: https://mindbodysolution.org - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@MindBodySolution- Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

Special Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025. In South Africa's fight against rhino poaching, data—not emotion—drives progress. Conservation researchers Dr. Timothy Kuiper and Lucy Chimes share the results of their multi-reserve study on what actually reduces poaching. From aerial patrols, drones, and canine units to the controversial dehorning strategy, they discuss what works, what doesn't, and why context matters. The evidence shows dehorning can significantly reduce poaching—but only when combined with strong security, community partnerships, and demand-side solutions. A rigorous, evidence-based look at how science is shaping the next chapter of rhino conservation.

What do you do when your kid is scared?Tell him not to be scared?What do you do when you're mad?Yell at the person?Tell yourself you shouldn't feel that way?The problem with this kind of response is that it doesn't let the emotion move through and out of you.Emotion means to move out.Step 1 in tending to emotions is to acknowledge it's there, and that it has a good reason to be there.Do this with yourself and others and your relationships will improve immediately.Step 2 is to let the emotion move you.Learn more in today's episode.Listen on the Strong Men Strong Marriages Podcast. https://strongmenstrongmarriages.buzzsprout.com/Watch on YouTube here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpHZWdoEVv0Dr. Mike P.S.

If you want to connect and influence others authentically, you need to understand the part of the brain that makes every decision. In this episode, I sit down with Tim Ash, bestselling author of Unleash Your Primal Brain and co-author of Primal Dating, to explore how our primal brain still runs the show in business, marketing, and leadership today.Tim shares why emotion, not logic, drives every choice we make, and how this understanding can help us lead, market, and communicate with more empathy and purpose. We also talk about culture, belonging, and the importance of purpose as a compass for every decision.Key Takeaways:Emotion always wins. Every decision starts with feeling; logic only justifies it later.Inaction is the brain's default. To move people, create emotional urgency, not pressure.Culture is built through connection. True culture happens in shared challenges and genuine modeling.Purpose guides direction. Having a bigger-than-you purpose clarifies your yeses and nos.Relationships are everything. We are wired to bond through shared experiences, not transactions.Tim's thoughtful, science-based approach to influence reminds us that connection begins where emotion lives. Understanding the brain helps us build trust in ways that are natural, ethical, and deeply human.Connect with Tim:Website: timash.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timashIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Dans un monde où tout va trop vite, où chaque minute doit être rentabilisée, le droit au repos semble presque subversif. Pourtant, se reposer n'est pas une faiblesse : c'est un acte de leadership. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, nous explorons pourquoi et comment ralentir devient aujourd'hui un levier essentiel pour le bien-être au travail, la santé mentale et la performance durable des femmes leaders.À travers des exemples concrets et une réflexion puissante, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée, vous montre que le droit au repos n'est pas une récompense accordée “quand tout est fini”, mais une condition nécessaire à votre équilibre et à votre impact. Car sans repos, la fatigue mentale s'installe, la clarté s'érode et le risque d'épuisement professionnel augmente.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les six raisons invisibles qui vous empêchent de vraiment vous reposer.– Reconnaître les signaux physiques et émotionnels de la fatigue mentale avant qu'ils ne s'aggravent.– Apprendre à ralentir sans culpabilité pour préserver votre énergie.– Redéfinir la réussite en intégrant le bien-être au travail comme pilier de votre leadership.– Mettre en place des micro-actions simples pour prendre soin de vous au quotidien.Dans un environnement où la performance est souvent confondue avec la productivité, cet épisode vous invite à revisiter vos croyances sur le repos et à poser un regard neuf sur votre rapport à l'action. Le droit au repos est un acte de puissance : il vous reconnecte à votre corps, à vos limites et à ce qui compte vraiment. Il vous permet de prendre soin de vous tout en nourrissant votre ambition de manière durable.Écoutez l'épisode et (re)découvrez la force du repos : celle qui nourrit votre lucidité, votre créativité et votre impact.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too.

Episode Highlights: Democrats dominate in NYC, NJ, and VA  Why apathy and surrender have become the GOP's biggest weaknesses, and the warning signs for the Republican Party How progressives have hijacked the Democratic Party and what it means for America's future as New York City begins to embark on its socialist experiment

Send us a textHow hunger, hormones, and brain wiring make animals switch between parenting and aggression.Episode Summary: Dr. Johannes Kohl explains instinctive behaviors in mice, focusing on how hunger and estrous cycle hormones interact in the hypothalamus to toggle between parental care and pup-directed aggression in virgin females; he also details how pregnancy hormones rewire the medial preoptic area for robust maternal behavior before birth, revealing multi-timescale neural integration of internal states.About the guest: Jonny Kohl, PhD is a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London, heading the State-Dependent Neural Processing Lab.Discussion Points:Instincts are pre-wired, robust yet modifiable by experience and states like hunger.AGRP “hunger neurons” in the hypothalamus regulate hunger state and respond to environmental cues related to food.Hunger regulates parental care neurons in medial preoptic area (MPOA) via inhibitory peptides.Estrous cycle (4-5 days) in mice comes with fluctuations in estradiol & progesterone; their ratio, not absolute levels, gates aggression probability.Hormone ratio sensed in MPOA neurons via nuclear receptors altering gene expression of HCN ion channels, changing excitability.Pregnancy (20 days) boosts parental circuits in MPOA via hormone surges before pregnancy ends, enabling instant care at birth.Hormone fluctuations enable adult brain plasticity.Humans disrupt natural cycles (e.g., hormonal contraceptives, GLP-1 drugs) that have broad, poorly understood brain effects.Reference Paper:Study: Integration of hunger and hormonal state gates infant-directed aggressionRelated Episode:M&M 89: Neuroscience of Aggression, Sex, Behavior, Hormones, Emotion & Consciousness | David Anderson*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

What strange thing happens when a neuron is left alone? Are there ways to moderate stress and anxiety, and even channel them into productive and helpful signals there to assist you in making good decisions? How can you develop initiative, and what has to change in today's education landscape to accomplish this? Angus Fletcher is a Professor of Story Science at Project Narrative of Ohio State University. He also teaches screenwriting and is a screenwriter, as well as the author of several books including Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know, Storythinking: The New Science of Narrative Intelligence, and Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature.Greg and Angus discuss the intersection of story science and philosophy, emphasizing the importance of mythos and narrative thinking as opposed to logos, the purely logical, data-driven approaches in areas like decision-making and leadership. Angus outlines how neurophysiology and the brain's natural restlessness contribute to human intelligence and explores the practical applications of narrative cognition in fields ranging from military operations to education and business. He highlights the role of literature in developing imagination, perspective, and emotional intelligence, arguing for its integration into educational systems and other training programs to cultivate better leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why fear and anger are the two most powerful emotions41:50: I worked a long time with operators on this, and we particularly worked on fear and anger because those are our two most powerful emotions. Those are our fight-or-flight responses. Fear is flight, and anger is fight. And you know what is going on there? Well, what is going on there is your brain has a bias to action. Your brain always wants to be doing something. The moment that your brain is sitting still, it feels extremely vulnerable, so it always wants to have a plan. And when your brain experiences a severe threat and it realizes this threat is so new, so different, that it does not have a plan that it has confidence in, it does not know what to do here—that is when your brain starts to feel scared. That is when you feel fear. So the question is, why is fear the emotion that your brain evolved? Why did it not evolve some other emotion, like curiosity or whatever? And the answer is just because fear makes you incredibly susceptible to outside influence. The more scared you are, the smarter other people's suggestions sound.Emotion is the smartest thing in your brain41:06: Emotion is the smartest thing in your brain. If you're not using your emotions, you're severely limiting your intelligence. And the reason that we know emotion is the smartest thing in the brain is it's the oldest form of intelligence in the brain, so it's been keeping you alive for hundreds of millions of years.Stories help us imagine alternatives13:11: When you tell someone a story effectively, it allows them to imagine themselves in that position. And then what they do in that position is they imagine, what could I do? And when that's done effectively, what it allows them to do is imagine alternatives—not just alternatives from what they themselves are doing in their own lives, but alternatives to what the individuals did in that situation.Why modern life produces so much anxiety46:21: Why is it that so many people are experiencing over-anxiety in our modern world? Well, the first thing is that too many people spend their time inside these artificially stable environments where they're just not used to anything being unstable. If you spend all your time in the suburbs, and bananas are always there, even in the middle of the winter when you go to the supermarket and the whatnot, you know, then you're not ever coping or having to engage with even a mild amount of instability or volatility. So the moment you encounter any of it, you immediately freak out and think that something must be wrong.Show Links:Recommended Resources:MythosLogosDaniel KahnemanDual Process TheoryI. A.

It's Thursday, and we're back with a guest conversation built for leaders who want practical psychology without the fluff. Today: how to feel better, think clearer, and lead smarter with Dr Ryan Martin — The Anger Professor. Guest intro Dr Ryan Martin is a psychologist and emotion researcher known as The Anger Professor. In this conversation he explains why emotions are information, not emergencies, and how small, upstream decisions shape how you feel hours later. His new book lays out 50 research-backed “emotion hacks” that anyone can use at work and at home. Episode summary We start with a classroom exercise that reveals our brains still run ancient threat software. Ryan's Why We Feel model shows how stimuli, mood, interpretation, feeling, and expression combine to create what we experience as emotion. He shares practical in-the-moment tools, then challenges leaders to address root causes: sleep, hydration, nature, worldview, and daily choices. We finish with a manager's checklist for mapping emotional incidents and a simple mantra method for tough moments. Key takeaways Treat emotions as signals. They give you information and energy to act. Most regulation happens upstream. Sleep, hydration, nature, movement, and digital boundaries set your baseline. Worldview matters. Beliefs about people, self, and the future can drive anger, anxiety, or resilience. Use in-the-moment tools wisely. Breathing, grounding, and naming the feeling help you de-escalate and think clearly. Leaders need a map. Diagram the stimulus, mood, interpretation, feeling, and behaviour for yourself and for your team before you act. Practical tools mentioned Grounding: 5 things you can see, 4 you can hear, and so on. Mantras: a short phrase to anchor attention and guide the next step. Nature with attention: unplug and actively notice what you see to reduce rumination. Recognition over suppression: acknowledge the feeling, then choose the response. Worldview audit: do I trust people, see myself as capable, and view the future as hopeful?
