Podcasts about Emotion

In this episode, we're joined by Prof. Andrew Crislip, who is Blake Chair in the History of Christianity at Virginia Commonwealth University, and the author of Emotion in Early Christianity (published by Eerdmans). In our conversation, Prof. Crislip talks with us about what emotions really are, what early Christians thought about five key emotions, and how that thinking evolved within the first five centuries of the church. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Adishian and Dr. John Anthony Dunne. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief. You can jump in here and circle back to Episode 248 when you're ready.   p.s. Find a Simple Joy practice for this episode right here at our blog.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

We are kicking off Season 3 with a brand new couple, Rachel and Mike. Unlike previous seasons, we are using an intensive therapy model, diving deep into their dynamic over a compressed timeframe. On paper, Rachel and Mike are a committed power couple running a successful business. But underneath, they are stuck in a painful anxious-avoidant cycle. Rachel has shifted from protesting for connection to silently shutting down to protect herself , while Mike, our avoidant partner, is emotionally completely alone, trying to "fix" her pain from the safety of his head. In this episode, we use the TEMPO model (Trigger, Emotion, Meaning, Protection, Organization) to unpack a recent conflict about family boundaries. We watch the cycle take over, and then pivot away from the surface fight down into the deep, unresolved grief and abandonment driving Rachel's fear.

Es ergibt wenig Sinn, Verluste immer weiter anwachsen zu lassen. Wenn ich eine Aktie im Portfolio habe, die lange gut gelaufen ist, und sie plötzlich fällt – soll ich wirklich zusehen, wie die Gewinne wieder verschwinden? Und wenn ich eine Aktie gerade erst gekauft habe und sie direkt danach ins Minus rutscht: Ist einfaches Halten dann sinnvoll? Nehmen wir Novo Nordisk als Beispiel: Über Jahre stieg die Aktie nahezu ununterbrochen, bis sie es eben nicht mehr tat. Wäre es da nicht klug gewesen, bei minus dreißig oder minus fünfzig Prozent die Reißleine zu ziehen? So denken die meisten Anleger – und das ist nachvollziehbar. Gewinne wieder abzugeben oder eine Aktie immer weiter fallen zu sehen, fühlt sich falsch an. Der Impuls dahinter ist also verständlich. Trotzdem müssen wir genauer hinschauen. Denn zwischen Emotion und Strategie liegt ein großer Unterschied. Deshalb geht es heute darum, wie man aus einer langfristigen Position richtig und planvoll aussteigt.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self. Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life. Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness. The Key Elements To Freedom: Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker. New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

In this episode, I talk about something that has been bothering me. The whole "man up" culture. You have probably seen it. The chest pumping. The shouting. The stop being soft. The stop being a pussy. The grind harder. The aggression. And look, there are moments in life where we need a firm word. There are moments where we need to look in the mirror and take responsibility. But shouting at men does not build men. Hype does not create discipline. Emotion does not create structure. Motivation does not create evolution. In this episode I break down why old school masculinity does not work in the modern world, and why the future belongs to thinking men, not just grinding men. I share: • Why emotional hype burns out fast • The difference between manning up and thinking smarter • What Royal Marine training taught me about technique over brute force • Why conditioning beats chest pumping every time • The real reason high achieving men drift • How evolution of identity actually happens This is not about becoming soft. It is about becoming strategic. The modern man cannot just grind it out like our fathers did. He has to think differently, operate differently, lead differently. If you are tired of the motivational noise and want something with substance, this one will land.

What if your pain isn't just physical?In this week's episode, fascia specialist and somatic coach Amanda Ashy explains why our bodies often tell the truth long before our minds catch up.We talk about: how fascia works as the body's largest sensory organ why emotions and memories can become “held” in the tissue the subtle ways our posture adapts to protect us why frozen shoulders, tight hips or jaw tension can have emotional roots and how real change happens when we feel safe enough to release what we've been carryingThis is a conversation about the whole body — not just muscles and movement, but the emotional patterns woven through them.If you've ever wondered why your pain keeps returning, why certain areas feel stuck, or why tears sometimes appear in bodywork sessions… this episode might land deeply.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠Sign up for my free weekly newsletter, ‘Everyday Moves' -  https://www.reclaimmovement.co.uk/newsletter/If you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.  To support the show and help me to keep making the podcast, please contribute by ⁠Buying Me a Coffee...or Tea! Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement, on:⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Website⁠

B"H What does it mean to be a Jewish king? Purim introduces us to King Achashverosh, a man ruled by impulse. In anger and intoxication he makes irreversible decisions. He wakes up to the consequences of a night where desire ran the show. That is not kingship. That is chaos. In Judaism, the word Melech teaches the opposite. Moach, Lev, Caved. Mind, heart, body. A true king is someone whose higher consciousness leads. Values shape emotion. Emotion guides action. Not the other way around. Moach shalit al halev. The mind rules the heart. To be a Jewish king is to live from above to below, with wisdom before impulse, with purpose before desire. #Purim #King #Torah #Judaism #JewishIdentity To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE Subscribe to the Torah Thoughts BLOG for exclusive written content!

In dieser intensiven und zugleich ruhigen Episode spricht Flo mit Petros, dem Kopf hinter dem Projekt Nine Month Summer, über Live-Erlebnisse, Natur als Inspirationsquelle und die Realität des Musikbusiness für unabhängige Künstler.Zwischen Post-Rock-Atmosphäre, persönlichen Geschichten und ehrlichen Einblicken wird deutlich: Musik ist mehr als Streamingzahlen. Sie entsteht aus Emotion, Umgebung und Begegnung – und lebt besonders auf der Bühne.Petros erzählt von der Entstehung seines Projekts, von der Balance zwischen Solo-Arbeit und Band-Dynamik sowie von den Herausforderungen, die Künstler heute meistern müssen – von physischen Releases bis zur Sichtbarkeit im digitalen Raum.

Throughout the meditation, Lauren repeats reassuring affirmations: *You have done enough for today. You are enough exactly as you are. Your body knows how to sleep. You can trust the process.* Listen as you lie down, allow the words to wash over you, and let your body remember how to rest and sleep. Here's a shorter, cleaner set of YouTube chapters for this meditation: 0:00 – **Welcome & Intention: You've Done Enough Today** 2:01 – **Getting Comfortable: Sitting or Lying Down** 3:40 – **Permission to Rest & Let Go of the Day** 4:50 – **Thoughts as Clouds in the Sky of the Mind** 7:00 – **Gentle Breath & Quiet Sigh Exhale** 14:24 – **Full Body Scan: Feeling Supported** 21:22 – **Belly & Chest: Releasing Worry and Emotion** 27:40 – **Shoulders, Arms & Hands: Putting Down the Backpack of Life** 29:45 – **Neck, Throat, Face & Head: Unspoken Feelings Soften** 32:24 – **Head-to-Toe Relaxation: You Are Allowed to Rest** 33:34 – **Safe Place Imagery: Beach, Forest, or Cozy Room** 37:45 – **Rowboat on the Lake: Gently Drifting** 40:17 – **Affirmations: You Have Done Enough, You Are Enough** 45:22 – **Deep Rest: It Will Be Okay** --- Come sit with me—let's slow down, sleep better, and feel more like ourselves.

Wir müssen uns auf einen musikalischen Auftritt beim Podstock vorbereiten, daher steht diese Folge ganz im Zeichen der Fortbildung: Heute testen wir, wie viel Musikwissen Teddy zwischen Nasenflöte und Trompete hat. Herr Müller spielt zehn kurze Audio-Schnipsel ab, Teddy muss zuordnen, mitnotieren, umsortieren und dabei möglichst nicht komplett an seinem Vertrauen in die eigene Kompetenz scheitern. Es wird geraten, zurückgespult, neu entschieden, und zwischendurch kurz überlegt, ob man nicht einfach eine Stunde lang nur labern sollte. Zum Nachhören der Beispiele (ohne die zu erratenden Fachwörter) sind hier die Quellen aus der Folge: Wenn Musik so klingt, als wäre jetzt wirklich Schluss – eine Ton- oder Akkordfolge, die eindeutig nach „Ende“ fühlt: https://mymusictheory.com/more-music-theory-topics/audio-examples Ein gehaltener Ton, der leicht in der Tonhöhe wackelt (mal mehr, mal weniger): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbfy-vHZHWY Derselbe Ton, nur deutlich höher oder tiefer, aber irgendwie „gleich“: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W_9Xd2esyo Töne, die kurz, abgehackt und sauber getrennt kommen, wie musikalisches Tipp-Tipp-Tipp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfty1bjShBI Ein Ton, der absichtlich ein kleines bisschen „falsch“ ist – und genau dadurch besonders viel Ausdruck bekommt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXuIIDnaoRE Mehrere Stimmen/Schichten, die gleichzeitig in unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten laufen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ysscEjZxt4 Zwei oder mehr Töne, die zusammen spannend, kratzig oder unangenehm wirken (aber genau deshalb Emotion machen): https://www.musical-u.com/learn/recognize-intervals-with-consonance-and-dissonance Der Akzent sitzt zwischen den erwarteten Schlägen, also „neben dem Beat“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncopation Eine Tonleiter, in der wirklich jeder Halbton nacheinander drankommt, ohne Lücken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Yvuv-1rkw Eine kleine musikalische Figur, die direkt wiederholt wird – nur höher oder tiefer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHwSDCOUmNI Damit steht dem Podstock und unserem großen musikalischen Ruhm praktisch nichts mehr im Weg. Außer vielleicht der Realität.

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by movement and embodiment coach Abigail Beckingham for a powerful conversation about the connection between the body, emotion and our natural rhythms as women. Together, they explore what it means to release emotion through movement — not as performance or fitness, but as expression. Abigail shares how stored feelings can live in the body, and how intentional movement can help us process what words sometimes cannot. During the conversation Abigail talks about handling big emotions without suppressing them. About creating safe space to feel anger, grief, joy and everything in between and about learning to see emotional intensity not as something to fix, but something to understand. She also talks about the thinking behind Kinesiology and how it can be used to aid us in recovery. A central theme of the episode is leaning into our natural female cycles — recognising that our energy, creativity and capacity shift throughout the month. Rather than fighting those changes, Abigail encourages us to harness them. To align productivity with high-energy phases, and to give ourselves permission to slow down, think and feel when our bodies ask for it. Together, we discuss: – Releasing emotion through movement – Understanding and processing big feelings – The wisdom of the menstrual cycle – Productivity through alignment, not pressure – Giving yourself permission to pause – Reconnecting with your body's intelligence and the thinking behind Kinesiology This is a conversation about trust — trusting your body, your emotions and your rhythms. An invitation to move, to feel, and to honour the season you're in.

Meghan Gardner on Gamification for Emotional EngagementThis episode of Experience Points features transformative design expert Meghan Gardner, who shares how gamification can create emotionally engaging, healing, and educational experiences. Meghan explains how structured play and role-playing; using techniques like “alibi” and safety signals—help learners explore tough topics while feeling safe and in control. She highlights the importance of session zero and post-game debriefs in turning gameplay into meaningful, lasting transformation. Meghan also unpacks how emotional engagement boosts memory and behavior change, sharing a moving example of a game that led young adults to initiate real-life end-of-life conversations with their families. Drawing on her work with the Smithsonian, Royal Caribbean, and Harvard, Meghan offers practical strategies for educators and designers looking to use games as tools for empathy, connection, and growth.If you liked this episode please consider commenting, sharing, and subscribing.Subscribing is absolutely free and ensures that you'll get the next episode of Experience Points delivered directly to you.I'd also love it if you took some time to rate the show!I live to lift others with learning.  So, if you found this episode useful, consider sharing it with someone who could benefit.Also make sure to visit University XP online at www.universityxp.comUniversity XP is also on Twitter @University_XP and on Facebook and LinkedIn as University XPAlso, feel free to email me anytime at dave@universityxp.comGame on!Get the full transcript and references for this episode here: https://www.universityxp.com/podcast/158Support the show

Coach Donavin Britt on Building Las Vegas Combat Academy, Mental Toughness, and Protecting Gym Culture   Host Pete Deeley interviews Coach Donavin Britt on The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, discussing Britt's path from apprenticing under instructor Roger Donofrio into becoming a Krav Maga and self-defense-first gym owner who later added jiu-jitsu and MMA. He describes earning high-level training under figures including Sgt. Major Nir Maman (as the first American certified instructor), Darren Levine, and John Whitman, and discusses the importance of standards, mental toughness, and having a purpose bigger than oneself. Britt addresses misconceptions and quality-control issues in Krav Maga, his motivation to compete in jiu-jitsu (including winning at NAGA while representing Krav Maga on his rashguard), and how sparring and competition serve as stress tests while differing from real self-defense. He recounts a memorable fight from the 1990s loss-prevention work in Oakland involving a drug-impaired suspect who required a rear-naked choke to stop, using it to emphasize the need for a varied skill set. Britt also strongly condemns misconduct in martial arts settings, details removing a student with a troubling history involving women to protect members, and argues men and coaches must "guard the mat" and enforce clear consequences to keep women safe. He shares a transformative student story about a teenager, Angel, who was assaulted and regained confidence through training and sparring, connecting it to mentorship, accountability, and coaching built on consistent care and firm parameters. The episode ends with Deeley inviting Britt to return for further discussion.   00:00 Welcome Back + Coffee & Kids Program Plug 00:33 Meet Coach Donavin Britt 01:36 Life Without Martial Arts?

I am your host, Susanne Mariga! I'm a CPA, a Fractional CFO, and a Certified Profit First Professional Mastery Level providing tax strategies to 7 and 8 figure entrepreneurs. Let's dive into strategies to maximize profits in your business!  In this episode of The Profit Talk Show, host Susanne Mariga welcomes Kevin Steuer, founder of StockTA. Kevin is an entrepreneur and technical trading educator who helps investors use algorithm driven trend analysis to make disciplined, process driven investment decisions in individual stocks and ETFs.  Together, we explore how entrepreneurs can strategically invest their Profit First cash reserves while managing risk in volatile markets.

Send a textThis week we have a great conversation with Miles Spencer, and discuss his restless desire to experience as much of the world as possible, to learn from other cultures and to really test his boundaries for adventure!Over his winding path, he has found himself tested by both boardroom chaos and adventures that had no margin for error. He helped co-create MoneyHunt, which aired on PBS as a predecessor to Shark Tank, and while those studio lights were bright, they were nothing compared to leading more than 1,500 people in kayaks over 14 miles of open sea or walking 1,100 miles across desert in Saudi, Jordan and Syria. Each time, he was forced to confront what failure meant, and figure out how to rebuild after. Miles has founded (and exited) three media companies, with a fourth underway, but it's the recovery from missed shots that taught him the most about grit and moving forward.Miles comes on the show, to help us continue to build community, around vulnerability and hope. Thank you Miles!https://milesspencer.com/Support the show

Summary:Political speechwriter and author Simon Lancaster breaks down how leaders and speakers win minds using rhetoric, metaphor and emotional language. We explore why corporate jargon kills trust, how metaphors shape beliefs, and simple persuasion tools speakers can use without sounding manipulative.In this episode, you'll learn:What rhetoric is and why it matters for modern speakersWhy emotion often persuades more than logicHow metaphor shapes perception, behaviour and beliefWhy corporate language dehumanises and disengages audiencesPractical ways to become “metaphor aware” and communicate more humanlyThe responsibility leaders have when using persuasive languageMemorable ideas and quotes:“Leadership is an emotional contract.”“Metaphor speaks to the subconscious.”The “company as car” metaphor and why it backfires“Rhetoric is morally neutral.

Resistance isn't the problem. It's the signal.Philippa and Penelope from 4D Human Being are back — and if change is on your radar right now, you don't want to miss this one. Two people who've sat inside enough organisations to know that most change fails not because the strategy was wrong, but because the humans weren't brought along.People don't resist change. They resist being unclear, unsupported, and unconvinced.The Switch Model nails it in three parts: Give people clear direction (Rider)Speak to how they feel (Elephant)Make the new way easier than the old way (Path)Simple framework, genuinely useful — and Philippa and Penelope pull it apart in a way that actually sticks.The conversation gets particularly good when they hit the leadership blind spot nobody wants to admit: you're being watched more than you're being heard. What you do and what you praise moves people faster than any slide deck. Three tools they leave you with that actually work:Three Things for clarity when you do not have every answerVision people can picture and buy intoThe Three Es: Experience, Emotion, Expectation, so everyone knows what is happening, how to hold it, and what to do nextWarm, sharp, and to the point. Whether you're leading change, living through it, or quietly resisting it yourself — this conversation will shift something for you.Less push. More possibility.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​--------ResourcesWant to a FREE taste of 4D OnDemand?Sign up for your 4D OnDemand membership today: https://www.4dhumanbeing.com/4d-ondemand/Follow us:

The Rebbe addresses a dilemma where the **mind approves** of a marriage proposal but the **heart resists**. He explains that in **Shidduchim**, the heart's feelings are more than secondary; there must be at least a glimmer of **attraction** or the potential for it to develop, otherwise, the heart's dissent must be taken seriously. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6083

The mind and heart are vibrational fields shaped by past experiences we've clung to or suppressed, resulting in the reactive inner world we live in. Liberation begins by stepping back into witness consciousness, seeing that we are not our thoughts or emotions, but the awareness behind them. The path to freedom is through inner purification—letting go of stored impressions and no longer adding more disturbance by resisting or clinging to what life presents. Serve life, don't fight it. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

Younger investors are reshaping the markets—from crypto and AI to ETFs and gaming. But with so many new platforms, trends, and voices competing for attention, how can believers invest wisely across generations?Matt Bell, Managing Editor at Sound Mind Investing, has been tracking these shifts closely, and he joins the show today to share his insights and highlight both what's changing and what remains timeless—especially when biblical wisdom guides our financial decisions.The Surge of Younger InvestorsSince 2020, millions of new investment accounts have been opened—many by Gen Z and millennials. In fact, a significant portion of today's investors entered the market during the early pandemic years, despite dramatic market volatility. Why? Several factors converged:Extra time at home during lockdownsStimulus payments and increased savingsCommission-free trading platformsSocial media influencers showcasing day tradingApps that made investing feel simple—even entertainingInstead of retreating when markets dropped, many younger investors leaned in.How Younger Investors Are Engaging the Market DifferentlyCompared to previous generations, younger investors tend to:Use mobile apps as their primary investment toolsExplore emerging sectors like crypto, AI, and fintechGet advice from social media and peers rather than advisorsTrade more frequentlyFavor ETFs over traditional mutual fundsETFs, in particular, appeal to younger investors because they trade like stocks, often have lower costs, and allow for more active participation.At the same time, themes like cryptocurrency, gaming-related funds, and sports gambling investments show the sharpest generational divide—drawing the most interest from the youngest investors.A Cultural Shift in InvestingInterest in newer asset classes isn't limited to younger investors anymore. Crypto, AI, and alternative investments are gaining traction across all age groups.Major developments—such as the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and growing conversations about private equity in retirement plans—signal that the investing culture is evolving rapidly.But rapid access can create risk.Availability and hype can outpace understanding. New investment options often carry complexity, and without careful research, investors may unknowingly take on risks they don't fully grasp.The Social Media EffectOne of the most defining features of today's investing landscape is the role of social media.Anyone can build a following and offer financial advice—even without credentials. In a crowded digital space, the loudest voices often gain the most attention, not necessarily the wisest ones.That's why discernment matters. Before acting on advice:Check credentialsEvaluate track recordsSeek multiple perspectivesCompare guidance against long-term principlesWise investing has always required counsel, patience, and humility—traits that don't trend easily online.The Opportunity of Starting YoungDespite the risks, the growing interest in investing among younger generations is largely positive.Time is one of the most powerful tools in investing. Starting early allows compounding to work over decades, creating opportunities for steady growth and long-term stability.Encouraging young investors to begin is wise. Helping them begin wisely is even more important.How Parents and Mentors Can Guide the Next GenerationFor parents, grandparents, and mentors, the goal isn't to criticize younger investors—it's to walk alongside them.Start by affirming their interest. Then introduce principles that shape a healthier approach:DiversificationLong-term thinkingWise counselProcess-driven investingOngoing learningThese conversations can help shift the focus from chasing trends to building a thoughtful strategy.Why Process Matters More Than TrendsIn fast-moving markets, a clear investment process becomes essential.Emotion—fear when markets fall and greed when they rise—is one of the greatest risks investors face. A disciplined strategy helps guard against impulsive decisions.For believers, process also reflects stewardship. The money we manage ultimately belongs to God, and our responsibility is to steward it wisely and intentionally.A thoughtful plan helps investors stay grounded when markets—and headlines—shift.Understanding What You OwnOne practical test of wise investing is simple: can you clearly explain what you own and why?If an investment can't be explained in plain language, it may not be fully understood. And stewardship requires understanding.Clarity leads to better decisions. It also protects against blindly following trends or hype.When Investing Starts to Feel Like GamblingModern platforms often blur the line between investing and entertainment. Frequent trading, instant feedback, and gamified interfaces can encourage short-term thinking.But Scripture points to a different path:Ecclesiastes 11:2 encourages diversification.Proverbs 21:5 praises steady, disciplined planning.1 Timothy 6:10 warns against the love of money and reckless pursuit of wealth.These principles emphasize patience, wisdom, and restraint—not speculation.What Never ChangesEvery generation invests differently. Technology evolves. Markets shift. New asset classes emerge.But God's principles for stewardship remain steady.Wise investing is not about chasing what's trending. It's about:Purpose over hypePatience over speedProcess over impulseFaithfulness over fear or greedWhen portfolios are shaped by those values, investing becomes more than a financial activity—it becomes an act of stewardship.And that's a strategy that transcends generations.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband is retiring next year and plans to roll his 401(k) into a Roth IRA. I also have a small 401(k). Can we combine our accounts? Also, I'm a retired teacher with a pension and a small 403(b). Would it make sense to withdraw the funds, invest them elsewhere, and give them to my sons?I'd like to set up a 529 plan for my new great-grandson. How does it work?

Send a textPrayer can feel confusing, especially if you've been taught that “real prayer” must be spontaneous, emotional, and uninterrupted. In this episode, Cass talks with Australian theologian Peter Adam about prayerfulness: what prayer is biblically, how prepared prayers can actually deepen sincerity, and how the Holy Spirit helps us pray through weakness.Peter also shares honestly about praying through depression, why Psalm 88 is a gift to sufferers, and why sometimes the most faithful thing is to lean on the prayers of trusted friends.

We're diving deep into Francis Weller's third gate of grief: the sorrows of the world. This gate reminds us that collective losses like wars, violence, injustice, and environmental destruction impact us whether we acknowledge them or not. We are interdependent beings, wired for connection, and when we try to shut down our caring to protect ourselves, we sacrifice our capacity for joy, flexibility, and resilience. The challenge is to trust our intuitive drive to care and connect, even when it feels uncomfortable. We'll offer some practical strategies to meet that challenge and to help you stay open to collective grief without being overwhelmed by it. CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses gun violence.

John and Brantley explore how music functions as one of the most powerful—and least examined—tools of influence inside charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation-aligned environments. Drawing from firsthand experience at IHOPKC and decades of worship leadership, they break down how rhythm, tempo, chord progressions, repetition, and emotional pacing shape belief, expectation, and group identity far beyond lyrics alone. The conversation examines earworms, emotional conditioning, prophetic language embedded in songs, and how worship can subtly reinforce fear, dependency, and elite identity. At the same time, the discussion distinguishes between harmful manipulation and healthy musical guidance, offering insight into how the same musical techniques can be used to comfort, ground, and restore rather than control. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962  Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K  ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham  - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Join the show with a TEXT here!I never thought I'd be making this video in 2026.... but here we are.In this episode, I felt compelled to call out the behavior and teachings promoted by Joel Webbon in this debate and in his other videos. His stance is biblically out of bounds and should be addressed by any Bible-believing Christian, especially given his role as a local church pastor.Racism is a hot-button issue that stirs deep emotions, but we must examine it through the lens of Scripture and let God's Word shape our view of this crucial topic. Does God actually teach that marriage should be by tribe and race? Or does the Bible affirm that we are all one in Christ — one body, one man, one woman, one flesh?Let's talk about it.

Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of visibility,  for many women, these aren't small mindset hurdles. They're the invisible blocks that keep powerful stories unwritten and important voices unheard.In this week's episode of Uncomplicate It, I sit down with Nancy Marriott, writing coach, developmental editor, and co-author of the bestselling Molecules of Emotion. For nearly three decades, Nancy has helped women move from hesitation to authorship, guiding them through the internal resistance that shows up the moment they decide to play bigger.This conversation is part cultural unpacking, part mindset shift, and part practical roadmap for any woman who feels called to write… but keeps questioning whether she's “ready.”We dig into:Why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for womenThe cultural conditioning that teaches women to stay smallTall poppy syndrome and the backlash that can come with standing outThe subtle language shift (from “we” to “you”) that transforms authority in writingWhy publishing a book instantly positions you as an authorityThe difference between fear of failure and fear of visibilityWhy commitment breaks self-doubt faster than confidence ever willHow to use AI as a tool without losing your authentic voiceWhy waiting until you feel ready is the real trapHow storytelling builds credibility, connection, and trustKey Takeaways:There's no such thing as “a writer”, only people brave enough to express their truthAuthority isn't given. It's claimed.Imposter syndrome is a story, and stories can be rewrittenVisibility requires courage, not perfectionIf you feel called to write, that call mattersConnect with Nancy:Website: www.nancymarriott.comLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-marriott-6791098/Follow Us:

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits Season 15's foundation with Dr. Bruce Perry to explore how safety, regulation, and patterned experience shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. We examine why potential must be activated through repetition, rhythm, and low-threat environments, and how trauma, stress, or dysregulation block learning. Takeaways include practical steps for educators, parents, and leaders: prioritize nervous-system safety before instruction, use micro-repetition to build skills, and employ storytelling to make scientific ideas stick. This episode anchors Phase 1 of the season: regulation, rhythm, repetition, and relational safety as the prerequisites for sustainable performance and lasting change. This week, Episode 385—based on our review of Episode 168 recorded in October 2021—we explore: ✔ 1. Genetic Potential vs. Developed Capacity We are born with extraordinary biological potential. But experience determines which neural systems become functional. The brain builds what it repeatedly uses. ✔ 2. The Brain Is Use-Dependent Language, emotional regulation, leadership skills, motor precision— all are wired through patterned, rhythmic repetition. ✔ 3. Trauma, Regulation & Learning A dysregulated nervous system cannot efficiently learn. Safety, rhythm, and relational connection come before strategy. ✔ 4. “What Happened to You?” vs. “What's Wrong with You?” Shifting from judgment to curiosity changes how we approach: Children Students Teams Ourselves ✔ 5. Early Experience Shapes Long-Term Expression Developmental inputs—especially patterned, early ones— determine which capacities are strengthened. ✔ 6. Repetition Builds Confidence Confidence is not a personality trait. It is neural circuitry built through structured repetition in safe environments. ✔ 7. Story Makes Science Stick From Dr. Perry's experience writing with Oprah: You can't tell everybody everything you know. Impact comes from: One core idea Wrapped in story Delivered with restraint ✔ 8. Information Overload Weakens Learning Depth > Volume Clarity > Density Retention > Impressive Data ✔ 9. Regulation Comes Before Motivation Before goals. Before performance. Before achievement. The nervous system must feel safe. ✔ 10. Season 15's Foundational Question Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies you can apply immediately. If you've been with us through Season 14, you may have felt something shift. That season wasn't about collecting ideas. It was about integrating these ideas into our daily life, as we launched our review of past episodes. Across conversations on neuroscience, social and emotional learning, sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition, and mindset frameworks—we heard from voices like Bob Proctor, José Silva, Dr. Church, Dr. John Medina, and others—one thing became clear: These aren't separate tools that we are covering in each episode. They're parts of one operating system. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now we move into Season 15 that is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. So Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384 — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Last week we began with Phase One: Regulation and Safety as we revisited Dr. Baland Jalal's interview from June 2022. EP 384 — Dr. Baland Jalal[i] Dr. Baland Jalal This episode sits at the foundation of Season 15. Dr. Baland Jalal is a Harvard neuroscientist whose work explores how sleep, imagination, and curiosity shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. What stood out to me then — and even more now — is that learning doesn't begin with effort. It begins when the brain is rested, regulated, and free to explore possibility. This conversation reminds us that creativity isn't added later — it's built into the brain when conditions are right. It's here we remember that before learning can happen, before curiosity can emerge, before motivation or growth is possible— the brain must feel safe. And what better place to begin with safety and the brain, than with Dr. Bruce Perry, who we met October of 2021 on EP 168.[ii] EP 385 — Dr. Bruce Perry Dr. Bruce Perry (Episode 168 – October 2021) Dr. Bruce Perry, Senior Fellow of the Child Trauma Academy in Houston, Texas, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, joined the podcast to help us better understand how traumatic experiences shape the developing brain. At the time, I was deeply concerned about the generational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In one of Dr. Perry's trainings, he referenced research conducted after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which showed that families exposed to prolonged stress experienced increased rates of substance abuse — not only in those directly affected, but in the next generation as well. As I began hearing reports of rising depression, anxiety, and substance use during the pandemic, I wondered: What could we do now to reduce the long-term neurological and emotional impact on our children, our schools, and future generations? Dr. Perry agreed to come on the show to share insights from his work and to discuss his book, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey: What Happened to You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healing.[iii] Dr. Bruce Perry challenges one of the most common questions we ask in education, leadership, and parenting. Instead of asking, “What's wrong with you?” he asks, “What happened to you?” In this conversation, we explored how early experiences shape the brain, how trauma disrupts regulation, and why healing begins with rhythm, safety, and connection. You can find a link to our full interview in the resource section in the show notes. This episode anchors Season 15 by reminding us: a dysregulated brain cannot learn — no matter how good the strategy. Let's go to our first clip with Dr. Bruce Perry, and look deeper at how we are all born with potential, but our experience builds the rest.

Parenting is often described as the most important job in the world — but it may also be the most emotionally demanding.In this episode of Thoughts on Record, we sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Alissa Jerud to explore her new book, Emotion-Savvy Parenting: A Shame-Free Guide to Navigating Emotional Storms and Deepening Connection. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and decades of research on emotion regulation, Dr. Jerud introduces the ART framework — Accept, Regulate, Tolerate — a practical and deeply compassionate roadmap for transforming family life.What makes this conversation so powerful is the central shift Dr. Jerud invites: the key to more harmonious parenting isn't changing our children's behavior — it's learning to manage our own emotions first.We discuss:Why parenting is uniquely emotionally activatingThe difference between emotion regulation and emotional suppressionHow distress tolerance skills apply in everyday family conflictRecognizing and grounding our own “emotional storms”Setting firm boundaries without abandoning emotional acceptanceThe role of repair, imperfection, and self-compassion in healthy familiesHow this framework can prevent burnout — for both parents and cliniciansThis is not a perfection-based approach to parenting. It's a psychologically sophisticated, shame-free model that meets parents where they are — and offers tools for building resilience, flexibility, and genuine connection.Whether you're a parent, a clinician, or someone reflecting on your own upbringing, this episode offers a grounded, research-informed lens on what it means to raise — and regulate — human beings.About Dr. Alissa JerudDr. Alissa Jerud is a licensed clinical psychologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She specializes in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, trauma, and emotion-regulation difficulties.

Explore the Lover archetype and how integrated aliveness, pleasure with containment, and emotional presence prevent strength from becoming sterile. The Missing Current in Modern Male Strength The Lover archetype is the most misunderstood force in modern masculinity. It is often mistaken for softness, indulgence, or emotional excess. In reality, the Lover is neither sentimental nor weak. It is the archetype responsible for aliveness itself. It governs a man's capacity to feel, to connect, to experience meaning and pleasure without losing structure. When this archetype is integrated, life feels vivid, embodied, and human. When it is distorted or suppressed, strength remains—but it becomes brittle, sterile, and quietly unsustainable. In the architecture of the Conscious Warrior, the Lover is the connective tissue. The King governs. The Warrior executes. The Magician refines perception. The Lover circulates life through all of them. Without it, authority hardens, discipline dries out, and insight loses relevance. Men do not fail because they lack strength. They fail because strength becomes disconnected from vitality. The Lover is not a luxury. It is a requirement. The Core Function of the Lover Archetype At its core, the Lover archetype governs connection and vitality. It is the capacity to experience life directly rather than abstractly. Where the Magician sees meaning, the Lover feels it. Where the Warrior moves toward challenge, the Lover experiences why the challenge matters. Where the King sets standards, the Lover ensures those standards serve something alive rather than mechanical. The Lover connects a man to beauty, pleasure, creativity, nature, intimacy, and emotional resonance. This does not mean constant stimulation or indulgence. It means presence. The Lover allows a man to receive experience fully without needing to dominate it, escape it, or numb it. When the Lover is healthy, life feels textured. Effort has reward. Discipline has warmth. Authority has humanity. When the Lover is absent, men often report a strange emptiness. They are productive, competent, and disciplined—yet something feels flat. This is not a motivation problem. It is a circulation problem. Why the Lover Must Be Contained by the King The Lover is powerful, but it is not sovereign. Vitality without containment leaks. Pleasure without structure turns corrosive. Emotion without authority becomes destabilizing. This is why the Lover must be held by the King. When the Lover serves the King, aliveness becomes sustainable. Pleasure enriches rather than distracts. Emotion informs rather than overwhelms. Creativity fuels direction instead of fragmenting it. The King provides boundaries so the Lover can flow without flooding the system. Without the King, the Lover often collapses into excess or avoidance. Desire becomes compulsive. Stimulation replaces satisfaction. Emotional experience becomes something to chase or suppress rather than inhabit. This is not because pleasure is dangerous, but because it is uncontained. The relationship between King and Lover is not oppositional. It is regulatory. One creates structure. The other fills it with life. The Lover as the Antidote to Sterile Strength Many men pride themselves on discipline, restraint, and control. These are not flaws. They are incomplete expressions of strength. When discipline is severed from the Lover, it turns rigid. Training becomes punishment. Work becomes endurance. Relationships become transactional. Pleasure feels suspect, as though it might weaken resolve or dilute edge. Over time, the nervous system adapts by numbing. Sensation dulls. Emotional range narrows. Life becomes manageable—but no longer rich. The Lover restores circulation where strength has dried out. It reintroduces sensation, joy, intimacy, and creative engagement without dismantling discipline. This is not regression. It is integration. A man does not lose his edge by feeling more. He loses his edge by becoming disconnected from what gives effort meaning. Strength that cannot feel eventually collapses under its own weight. The Healthy Lover Archetype A healthy Lover archetype is grounded, regulated, and embodied. It experiences pleasure without compulsion and emotion without collapse. Presence remains steady even when sensation is intense. Men with an integrated Lover often notice subtle but profound shifts. They recover faster. They enjoy effort rather than merely surviving it. They feel connected to their bodies, their environments, and the people around them without losing direction or discipline. Emotional intimacy deepens because presence replaces performance. This form of aliveness is not chaotic. It is rhythmic. The nervous system can open and close, receive and act, engage and rest. Pleasure is digested rather than chased. Emotion moves through rather than lingering or exploding. Life feels inhabited rather than endured. The Shadow Lover Archetype The shadow Lover does not lack feeling. It lacks containment. One expression of the shadow Lover is excess. Pleasure becomes compulsive. Dopamine replaces depth. Stimulation substitutes for intimacy. This often shows up as overconsumption—of sex, novelty, substances, entertainment, or validation—without lasting satisfaction. The system keeps reaching because nothing ever lands. The other expression is numbing. Sensation is shut down in the name of focus, discipline, or control. Emotion is withheld. Joy feels distracting. Intimacy feels threatening. Life becomes muted, and the body adapts by lowering sensitivity. These two shadows are not opposites. They are twins. Both arise from the same misalignment: pleasure without containment or containment without pleasure. In both cases, vitality leaks or dries out. Healthy Lover vs Shadow Lover Healthy Lover Shadow Lover Experiences pleasure with containment Chases pleasure compulsively Emotion is felt and regulated Emotion overwhelms or numbs Presence deepens intimacy Intensity replaces intimacy Aliveness supports discipline Aliveness disrupts discipline Vitality is sustainable Vitality leaks or collapses The difference is not desire. It is structure. The Lover Archetype and Masculine Intimacy When Lover energy is wounded, it shows up clearly in intimacy. Sex becomes performance or escape. Emotional connection feels risky. Some men chase intensity, novelty, or conquest because depth feels unavailable. Others withdraw, convincing themselves that emotional distance equals strength. In both cases, presence is missing. The Lover archetype has been exiled in the name of control. An integrated Lover does not seek intensity to feel alive. He brings aliveness into contact. Intimacy becomes an exchange rather than a transaction. Desire is felt without urgency. Emotion is shared without collapse. Strength remains intact because it is no longer defending against sensation. This is not relational advice. It is an identity-level distinction. Integrating the Lover Archetype Integrating the Lover archetype is not about indulgence. It is about regulation. It requires the capacity to receive sensation without losing containment. To feel pleasure without compulsive reach. To experience emotion without outsourcing responsibility. This integration allows vitality to circulate through discipline, authority, and perception without destabilizing them. Men were never taught how to do this. They were taught to choose between edge and aliveness, between discipline and pleasure, between control and connection. That false choice fractures the system. When the Lover is integrated, strength does not soften. It becomes worth sustaining. Frequently Asked Questions About the Lover Archetype What is the Lover archetype in men? The Lover archetype governs aliveness, connection, pleasure, and emotional presence. It is the capacity to experience life directly and meaningfully rather than through abstraction or control. When healthy, it enriches discipline and authority; when wounded, it leads to excess or numbness. Why do disciplined men still feel emotionally flat? Emotional flatness often occurs when discipline suppresses vitality instead of containing it. Strength remains, but sensation dulls. The Lover archetype has been exiled in the name of focus, causing life to feel sterile despite competence and consistency. How does pleasure become destructive? Pleasure becomes destructive when it lacks containment. Without structure, the nervous system chases stimulation instead of integrating satisfaction. This leads to compulsive patterns rather than sustained aliveness, even when pleasure appears abundant. Is the Lover archetype about relationships and sex? Relationships and sex are expressions of the Lover archetype, but not its entirety. At a deeper level, the Lover governs presence, embodiment, and the ability to receive experience fully. Intimacy simply reveals whether that capacity is integrated or fragmented. How does coaching support integration of the Lover archetype? Coaching provides containment for emotional and somatic awareness, helping men regulate sensation rather than suppress or chase it. This allows vitality to circulate without destabilizing discipline, restoring depth and presence without sacrificing edge. Closing Reflection The Lover archetype does not weaken strength. It animates it. Without the Lover, discipline becomes dry, authority becomes rigid, and perception loses relevance. With it, strength feels alive, effort feels meaningful, and life becomes something you inhabit rather than manage. This integration does not reduce power. It stabilizes it. For men ready to reclaim aliveness without losing their edge, the doorway is quiet but exact. The Conscious Warrior Code exists to support this level of integration—where vitality flows through structure, and strength remains fully human. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts The Subconscious Mind And Personal Development ConnectionHow to Avoid Burnout: Warrior Mind Podcast #4576 Scientific Tips for Achieving of Peak PerformanceThe 4C’s of Mental Strength VLOG The Neuroscience of Willpower: The Shocking Science Behind This PracticeMental Strength for Peak Performance: Warrior Mind Podcast #470Warrior vs. Victim: Warrior Mind Podcast #49510 Must Have Leadership Skills: Warrior Mind Podcast #381

The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week's (delayed) episode was *supposed* to be about the Barbarian class and their rich history, etc etc. However it turned into a look at how emotions can affect the soul, and what that means for the world at large. This episode is more of a "questions rather than answers" kind of episode, but fret not - there is still some lore that we can sink our teeth into.worldofeora@gmail.com@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

What if the very emotion that makes you feel strong and protected is the same one quietly affecting your health? It's more common than you might think — and it's one of the many counterintuitive aspects of the mind-body connection. In today's episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore shares two powerful insights from her recent work with a wonderful volunteer named Debbie: • Why an external trigger — whether an accident, medication, or injury — is almost never the full story • How certain emotions can feel good or protective — and yet subtly impact your health, happiness, and life at a deeper level If you've ever felt like your health issue began with something external and couldn't possibly be connected to your mind… or if you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode is for you.

They start with the familiar ADHD paradox—knowing exactly what to do and still not being able to do it—and James reframes that stuckness as normal rather than shameful, then introduces “resourcing” as the practical antidote: not a single trick, but layered supports (internal and external) that make motion possible even when meaning, willpower, and good intentions aren't showing up.From there, the conversation gets uncomfortably specific in the best way, as Pete uses a long-avoided dermatologist appointment to walk through what “functional pressure” and relationship-based accountability can look like in real time. They explore why the hardest part is often the moment before the call, why eight-out-of-ten certainty is a workable target, and how to build a personal “wind-making” kit—scripts, sensory cues, body movement, tiny rituals, and other anchors that help you cross the threshold from uncertainty to action. The live chat brings in real-world complications (sleep issues, pain, dental trauma, AuDHD scripting and emotion tagging), and James offers concrete, compassionate ways to get support without muscling through alone—because the point isn't to never fall off the wagon, it's to get better at restarting.Links & NotesJames OchoaFocused Forward by James OchoaSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (04:28) - Introducing James Ochoa (05:11) - Finding Meaning (21:17) - Making Your Own Wind (36:31) - Chronic Stress and Adult ADHD (41:30) - Writing, Writing, Writing
