Podcasts about emotional awareness

Y'all, this conversation completely wrecked me in the best way. I sat down with Collin Jewett—someone whose orbit I desperately wanted to be in after just one 15-minute conversation—and we went DEEP.  Collin is the host of Superhuman Academy podcast, and he has this incredible gift: he sees beauty in people that others overlook. And not in a cheesy, motivational-poster kind of way. In a real, grounded, "I'm going to create spaces where isolated people can connect" kind of way. We talked about everything from his childhood on the playground looking for kids who needed friends, to why adult men are struggling with deep friendships, to what it means to be "not afraid of feeling any feelings." What we explored in this conversation: Why so many men lack deep friendships (and what that costs them) The difference between "positive judgment" and actually seeing beauty in someone How Collin learned his facial expressions were making people think he hated them Why cooperative play matters for adult male friendships The practice of actually answering "How are you?" with real emotional check-ins What happens when you don't have an inner critic (and why that's not narcissism) The cost of dissociation and "just doing the thing" without honoring emotions How emotions are both informational feedback AND motivating energy This episode is for you if: You're a woman wondering how to support the men in your life (partners, sons, friends) You struggle with adult friendships and feel isolated You're curious about emotional intelligence and vulnerability You're tired of the "just push through your feelings" approach to goals You want to learn how to see beauty—in yourself and others—without judgment Collin shared something that stopped me in my tracks: Most conversations men have are purely logistical. Work is problem-solving. Family conversations are scheduling. And when he asks men when they last had a deep conversation, they often say it's the conversation they're having with him RIGHT THEN—sometimes for the first time in a decade. We also got beautifully weird talking about Northern Lights, asymmetrical eyebrows, the "Blue Crew" in high school, and why liking yourself doesn't make you a narcissist (my therapist had to tell me this too, apparently). This conversation left me feeling appreciative, contemplative, and deeply curious. I hope it does the same for you.

In this special crossover episode, we are republishing Joe's appearance on Charisma on Command with Charlie Houpert alongside Dr. Alok “Dr. K” Kanojia. They explore what charisma really is and why genuine presence and emotional awareness matter far more than polished performance.Charlie's opening question, “What is charisma?” unfolds into a deep exploration of authenticity, self-love, and emotional intelligence. Joe and Dr. K contrast performative charisma (built on control, manipulation, or validation-seeking) with true charisma, which arises from inner alignment, vulnerability, and purpose. The three of them discuss how self-acceptance, emotional integration, and listening reshape the way we connect and influence others.Check out more from Dr.K on the HealthyGamerGG Podcast on SpotifyTwitter @HealthyGamerGGhealthygamer.gghttps://www.tiktok.com/@healthygamer.gghttps://www.instagram.com/healthygamer_gg/Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community! Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson Brett on X: @airkistler AOA on X: @artofaccompVisit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.comWe invite you to experience our work.

Episode 2817: Dr. Lisa Firestone invites us to transform our relationships by recognizing how much of our emotional reactivity stems from old wounds and unconscious projections. By pausing to consider that our partner's behavior may be shaped by their own past rather than something we caused, we can shift from being reactive to being curious, creating space for empathy, compassion, and deeper connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.psychalive.org/stop-projecting-in-your-relationship/ Quotes to ponder: "In a couple, one person always has 100 percent control of 50 percent of the dynamic." "Sometimes rather than react and pounce all over the present issue, it's better to give it a little time and space." "Whatever is happening inside our partner isn't always about us."

Emotional health matters. But when emotional awareness turns into accusation — families start to fracture. In this final episode of the Hello to Emotional Health series, Jake McCandless delivers a needed warning for parents trying to navigate a generation fluent in therapy language but starved for truth. More and more young adults are embracing a "therapeutic gospel" — one that redefines pain, boundaries, and even relationships through self-diagnosis instead of Scripture. Jake calls Christian parents to hold the line with both grace and truth. This isn't a rejection of emotional health — it's a reset. Emotional maturity and faith aren't opposites; they were designed to work together. When we anchor our emotions in God's Word, we find balance, healing, and the strength to disciple the next generation.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey as an Inner Child Healer—and how I help people recognize and mend the emotional wounds that often begin in childhood but quietly shape our adult lives.I've learned that when pain isn't healed, the wounded child within us grows into a hurting adult—and sometimes, without realizing it, we project that pain onto others, continuing patterns of generational trauma.In this conversation, I share: • How unhealed childhood wounds show up in our behavior and relationships • Why denial can keep us stuck in unspoken pain • The role of a safe, nurturing home in emotional healing • How awareness and compassion can break generational cycles • Simple steps you can take to start reconnecting with your inner child todayMy message is simple yet profound: Healing yourself isn't selfish—it's how we stop passing pain forward.Join me in this episode to understand your inner child, heal your past, and begin creating a kinder, more conscious future. You can also connect with me on Instagram for healing sessions and daily reflections.Support the showStay Connected with Vandana Light Healing :✨ Website: vandanalighthealing.com YouTube: @VandanaLightHealing Facebook: VandanaLightHealing Podcast: Hope & Healing LinkedIn: Vandana Atara Noorah Instagram: @vandana_light_healing Amazon Author: Vandana Atara Noorah

Today I have an incredible interview with Justine Stull. Justine is one of the admins on my Heal with Nicole and Nicole Sachs Support Circle communities. She's been with us for a few years, and she's just so wise. There's nothing like sitting with someone who has really walked through the work herself and now takes other people through with her beautiful guidance and caring comments on our pages. Today, Justine and I are going to be talking about her own chronic pain journey and all of the impactful practices she's gathered along the way - with a focus on self-compassion and self-regulation. One of my favorite things she says in the beginning is, "The first thing to leave was the fear." That's a great place to start! Enjoy this conversation filled with so many gold nuggets! XOXO n.

Send us a textMost people think weight loss is about calories, macros, and workouts — but the truth is, it's your emotions that make or break your progress.In this solo episode, I open up about the emotional side of weight loss and why managing guilt, frustration, and self-criticism is just as important as managing your nutrition or training plan.I share real stories from my clients:

What kind of partner do you want to be someday? Do you think privacy is important in a relationship? What do you think pornography leaves out about real relationships? These are just a few of the unusual yet important questions boys are rarely asked.

Together, they discuss how to help boys navigate gaming, romantic relationships, and pornography. They explore online sports betting (“the house always wins”), share ways to bring up sensitive topics like pornography, and highlight the particular role dads can play in guiding these conversations.   Featured Experts Christopher Pepper Joanna Schroeder‍ ‍ Book Talk To Your Boys: 16 Conversations to Help Tweens and Teens Grow Into Confident, Caring Young Men, by Christopher Pepper and Joanna Schroeder   Additional Resources Stan Tatkin Screenagers Website Bring Screenagers to your community   Time Code 00:00 Breaking Stereotypes: The Importance of Talking to Boys 00:37 The Influence of Online Algorithms on Teenage Boys 01:22 The Allure and Risks of Sports Betting 04:16 Navigating Relationships and Sexuality 07:35 The Impact of Media on Perceptions of Sex 16:03 Addressing Pornography and Sexual Content 26:24 Encouraging Open Conversations and Emotional Awareness 28:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Tammy drops a truth bomb right from the start: Our emotions, not our thoughts, motivate us. This episode is a quick, hard-hitting guide on how your emotions can either drive you forward or keep you and your team stuck in a pattern of limiting beliefs. Tammy provides a four-point framework to help you master self-awareness, manage your emotional triggers, and turn your emotional intelligence into the "entry ticket" for every successful conversation.   Key Takeaways for Leaders Emotions Win: We move in the direction of the dominant emotion. If you don't own your emotions, they own you and will hijack your team's success. The Power Pause: When emotions start to rise, push the pause button, take a breath, and ask the next best question to slow down the spin. The Real Raw Material: Emotions are not the enemy; they are the raw material of trust, connection, and performance. Words Create Pictures: The language you use creates a visual in your mind, and you attach emotions to that picture, which directly creates your performance. Change the words, change the outcome.   The 4 Points for Emotional Mastery Awareness is Your Entry Ticket: Your self-awareness is the entry ticket to every conversation and problem-solving at every level. If you are dysregulated, you cannot be situationally aware of others. Vacancy is as Dangerous as Volatility: Retreating, sitting silent, and vacating a difficult moment is just as damaging to trust as blowing up. It communicates a "No Vacancy" sign that pushes people away. Self-Efficacy Fuels Collective Efficacy: If key players on your team lose the belief that they can succeed (self-efficacy), it bleeds into the whole team's belief (collective efficacy). Words Create Pictures, Pictures Create Performance: Be intentional about the words you and your team use, as the visualizations attached to them pre-determine your results.   Actionable Tools & Quotes Quote: "Your emotional awareness and ability to handle feelings will actually determine your success and happiness." — John Gottman Quote: "If you don't own your emotions, they own you." The 24/72 Rule: When hijacked by emotions, utilize the 24-hour push-pause option (or 24/24/24) to process, go back to the conversation, and check in again. Your Challenge: Master self-awareness by tuning into your physical and mental triggers (heart rate, gut feeling) before you engage.   Leadership is not a solo sport—it requires self-awareness and emotional awareness. Head on over and subscribe to the Leadership Sandbox channel on YouTube, drop your emoji in the comments, and share this episode with someone who needs an emotional regulator right now.  

What if the key to deeper spiritual growth isn't more knowledge, but better emotional awareness? Scott Mittelstadt, a former law enforcement officer turned emotional intelligence consultant, reveals how understanding your emotions transforms every relationship—including your relationship with God.Ever sit down to read scripture only to realize minutes later you can't remember what you just read? You're not alone. Scott shares how journaling revolutionized his Bible study, creating "a night and day difference" in his comprehension and retention. This simple practice helped him "dig deeper to look for meaning" rather than merely checking off a spiritual discipline.The science is clear: our brains are constantly being rewired by our thoughts. With negative stimuli overwhelming positive ones in our daily lives, intentional practices like gratitude journaling become essential for maintaining emotional health. Scott explains how writing down three good things daily helped him maintain a positive outlook even after years in a profession saturated with society's darker elements.Perhaps most surprising is the revelation that only 7% of communication meaning comes from our actual words—the remaining 93% derives from body language, tone, and inflection. This explains why text messages and emails so frequently lead to misunderstandings. For Christians seeking to love others well, developing face-to-face communication skills grounded in emotional intelligence becomes a spiritual necessity.Whether you're struggling with distractibility during prayer, finding it difficult to have tough conversations with loved ones, or simply wanting to experience more meaningful connections, this episode offers practical strategies to increase your emotional awareness. From active listening techniques to mindfulness practices, discover tools that will deepen both your human relationships and your walk with God.Join us for an illuminating conversation that bridges psychology and faith, revealing how emotional intelligence might be the missing piece in your spiritual journey.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

In this week's episode of the LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 222: Trading Out the Tough Stuff, I'm sharing a concept that has been on my mind as I've worked with missionaries, returned missionaries, and missionary moms. Life on the mission—and after—can feel really tough. Whether it's stress, overwhelm, loneliness, or self-doubt, it's easy for our brains to shut down and say, “this is just too hard.” But what I've learned, and what I want to share with you, is that most of the time we're not escaping the tough stuff—we're simply trading one set of hard emotions for another. In this episode, I'll walk you through how to notice this pattern, how to stop resisting the difficulty, and how to choose which “hard” is worth it. You'll hear real-life examples from missionaries, service missions, jobs, relationships, and even my own family. Together, we'll explore why confidence is less about capability and more about being willing to feel discomfort, and how emotional resilience comes from making peace with the fact that life is always 50/50—half good and half hard. My hope is that Trading Out the Tough Stuff will help you recognize the power you have in deciding where to put your energy. You get to choose the tough emotions that move you closer to the person you want to become. Instead of trying to avoid the hard, you can lean into it with intention, faith, and confidence—and find freedom in the process. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

In this week's episode,  #220 - A Day in the Life, I'm getting real with you. Instead of a polished outline or a carefully planned topic, I wanted to give you an honest window into my day—the ups, the lows, the emotions I've been feeling, and the lessons I've been learning in real time. My hope is that by sharing my own experience, you'll see pieces of your own life and mission journey reflected back at you. We talk about what it means to normalize bad days, to stop trying to “fix” ourselves, and to create a peaceful space to simply be human. Whether you're preparing to serve, out on your mission, recently returned, or supporting a missionary, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to be chipper and strong all the time to show up in meaningful ways. You'll hear me share my thoughts about surrendering to the hard days, allowing emotions instead of fighting them, and trusting that even in the midst of heartbreak, overwhelm, or low motivation, you're still doing exactly what you're meant to do. This is real life—and we were made for all of it.

This week on the Do Good to Lead Well podcast I am joined by Martin Dubin, a seasoned clinical psychologist and business coach. We discuss his recently released book, "Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader." Martin's rich experience with 360-degree feedback highlights how a leader's strengths can sometimes inadvertently become weaknesses and why a heightened self-awareness is key in maintaining a balanced approach.We also tackle the complex web of unconscious biases and leadership blind spots, identifying six specific types that can impact our effectiveness. This engaging discussion anchors itself in a psychological model focused on the core motives driving behavior, with special attention to the needs for power, affiliation, and achievement. Martin touches on identity blind spots, where a disconnect between one's role and self-perception can create challenges, especially during transitions from individual contributor roles to managerial positions. He emphasizes the necessity of adapting one's identity to align with evolving roles and responsibilities.Finally, we tackle the emotional aspects of leadership, addressing the significance of emotional awareness for leadership success. A key skill is learning how to accurately identify and label a wide range of emotions. Martin and I also discuss the SBI (Situation, Behavior, Impact) framework, a powerful approach for promoting a culture of feedback and personal growth. The episode wraps up with an important discussion on the importance of authenticity and storytelling in leadership, providing valuable reflections and insights for leaders seeking to foster connections and drive positive change.What You'll Learn- The delicate balance of strengths and weaknesses- Unconscious biases and six types of leadership blind spots- Identity transitions and redefining roles- Raising our emotional awareness and regulation- The interplay between imposter syndrome and authenticity- The power of the SBI frameworkPodcast Timestamps(00:00) – A Deep Exploration of Leadership Blind Spots(10:36) – The Six Types of Leadership Blind Spots(22:04) - Recognizing and Regulating Emotions in Leadership(29:00) - Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Authenticity(35:18) – The Importance of Identity Alignment(45:22) – Entrepreneurial Blind SpotsKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Blind Spots, Self-Awareness, Leveraging Strengths, Managing Weaknesses, Unconscious Bias, Emotional Intelligence, Identity, Imposter Syndrome, Authenticity, Emotional Awareness, Culture of Feedback, Instilling Trust, Entrepreneurship, The Power of Storytelling, CEO Success
