Podcasts about emotional regulation

Welcome to the first Connected Parenting episode of 2026.As we step into a new year, many parents are feeling something they don't always say out loud: the world feels unsettling. It feels polarized, confusing, and at times frightening. Even when we try to protect our children from it, kids sense adult anxiety, uncertainty, and tension more than we realize.This episode is not about fixing the world or pretending everything is fine. Instead, it's about coming back to what is within our reach as parents: connection, presence, and the small, powerful moments that shape emotionally healthy humans.The world doesn't need perfect kids. It needs emotionally integrated, compassionate, resilient humans, and those are shaped through connection.Jennifer's Takeaways:New Year Reflections and Parenting Challenges (00:00)Children's Exposure to Information and Parental Responsiveness (01:31)Emotional Regulation and Self-Soothing (03:25)Concrete Ideas for Daily Connection (05:25)Reframing Parental Responses and Building Emotional Integration (05:46)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

This anchoring practice is about creating a daily habit of tuning into your nervous system with curiosity.A few years ago, one of my mentors shared something that has stayed with me. You don't want to attune to your nervous system only when life gets hard or everything feels like it's falling apart. You want nervous system hygiene. A daily relationship. A practice of checking in before you're overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted. So that when life does get hard, you don't find yourself upside down and completely shaken.Because this is how we change generational patterns.Not in the hot moments of crisis.Crisis will happen. Life will inevitably get hard but this is not the time to try to figure out your nervous system. You don't learn how to anchor a boat for the first time in the middle of a storm. When you've practiced anchoring in calm waters, you intuitively know how to respond when things get rough.It's pretty easy to move through life when things are going well. When our health feels stable, our kids are okay, our relationships feel calm, and life isn't asking too much of us.Our strength isn't tested when life is easy. It's tested when something feels uncertain. When a symptom shows up. When a child is struggling. When we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying more than we know what to do with.And in those moments, most of us instinctively look outward for support. For answers. For something to fix or soothe what we're feeling.But one of the most powerful shifts we can make is realizing that the greatest support isn't external. It's internal.It's the relationship you have with your own body. It's whether you know how to check in. It's whether you can notice what's happening inside of you before you're pushed into reaction.This is what we are doing in this practice.Just learning how to be with yourself, consistently, so that when life gets hard, you know how to loving sit with yourself and respond with confidence instead of reacting with fear.This practice is about connecting your own dots and getting curious about how your system speaks.Thanks for listening!

In Fishing Without Bait 497, we continue our thoughtful conversation with returning guest Clairvoyant Santina Grace in Part 4 of this series. This episode centers on listening — to ourselves, to others, and to the deeper awareness that helps us release fear, judgment, and mental clutter. Jim Ellermeyer and Santina discuss compassion, choice points, and the stories we hold onto, as well as the freedom that comes from letting them go. Through reflection and shared experience, this conversation invites listeners to slow down, practice mindfulness, and approach life with greater understanding and non-judgment.

If you're curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma QuizPushing through stress works… until it doesn't.Chronic stress doesn't always show up as burnout right away. More often, it surfaces quietly through things like physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and a slow erosion of joy. This episode centers on how living out of alignment impacts the nervous system, the body, and long-term wellbeing, especially for high-functioning, purpose-driven people.A real world story illustrates how mental and emotional strain can accumulate beneath the surface, eventually manifesting as physical consequences that can no longer be ignored. The pattern is familiar: years of “shoulds,” pushing, and over-leveraging… followed by a moment when the body draws a hard line.This conversation is especially relevant for anyone interested in nervous system regulation, mind-body medicine, integrative health, or understanding how unresolved stress and trauma affect the body over time. Alignment isn't about perfection. It's about honesty, awareness, and choosing a path that supports both health and life.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:52] The hidden cost of living by “shoulds” instead of what actually feels aligned[09:14] What happens when stress and misalignment start showing up in the body[12:01] The moment making money quietly replaces fulfillment without you noticing[17:08] What changes when you stop outsourcing your intuition to experts and templates[21:36] The slow erosion of confidence that comes from not trusting yourself[27:45] The role identity confusion plays in burnout, anxiety, and feeling stuck[34:12] What real self-honesty looks like before alignment can return[39:58] Why surface-level mindset work can't resolve deeper misalignment[46:41] The warning signs of unhealthy power dynamics with coaches or gurus[52:14] The skill of taking advice without giving away your authorityFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Hey friends!For years I've been asked, "Why don't you put any of your content in video form or have it on Youtube?" And the truth is, because it always felt like "one more heavy thing" to add to my already long list as a woman of ONE in my business. But we don't grow by dragging our feet or resisting, so I decided what better time to add video that at the start of 2026. So if you're only hearing the audio, just know each week I will be doing my best to also release the video version on Youtube if that is more your style!Thanks for all your support over the years and KEEP SHARING THE PODCAST with friends!Support the showVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

On today's episode we're focusing on mindset skills, emotional regulation and mental toughness and feel that orthopedic surgery with Dr. Winston Gwathmey, an orthopedic surgeon at UVA. We start off our discussion today with an article from the September 2022 issue of the Journal of Surgical Research titled “Emotional Regulation in Surgery: Fostering Well-Being, Performance, and Leadership.” This article reviews the critical role of emotional regulation as a trainable cognitive skill that enhances surgical well-being, technical performance, and career longevity. It highlights how burnout and stress are pervasive in surgery and argues that individual-level emotional regulation training—paired with necessary system-level changes—can help surgeons cope with the inherent stressors of operative practice, complications, and high-stakes decision-making. Through multiple institutional case studies, the paper illustrates practical strategies for implementing emotional regulation curricula within surgical training, including mindfulness-based programs, mental skills training, and broader well-being initiatives. Across all examples, successful adoption hinges on leadership support, stakeholder buy-in, iterative design, and embedding training into existing educational infrastructure. Ultimately, the authors advocate for an integrated national curriculum that combines cognitive skills training, application to technical performance, and preparation for independent practice to promote surgeon resilience and sustainable careers.Then, from the July 2021 issue of the Journal of Surgical Research, we review an article titled “Mastering Stress: Mental Skills and Emotional Regulation for Surgical Performance and Life.” This article reviews how mental skills training and emotional regulation can enhance surgeons' technical performance, well-being, and career longevity by mitigating the negative effects of stress. It explains the physiological and cognitive mechanisms of stress and highlights how chronic stress impairs decision-making and increases burnout. The authors present evidence that mindfulness, cognitive training, and mental rehearsal improve surgical skill acquisition, stress resilience, executive function, and performance under pressure. The authors go on to outline common elements of successful programs. They also discuss barriers to implementation and propose a framework for integrating mental skills training across surgical education from basic instruction to independent practice. They ultimately advocate for the development of a national mental skills curriculum to promote surgeon well-being, reduce errors, strengthen leadership and teamwork, and improve patient and systems-level outcomes.We are joined today by Dr. Winston Gwathmey, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a Professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Virginia.  He is the Medical Director for the Sports Medicine Clinic at UVA and is also one of the team physicians for both UVA and James Madison University. Dr. Gwathmey is the Program Director for the Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program at UVA and is very passionate about educating the next generation of orthopedic surgeons.  He has won numerous teaching awards including the Mulholland Teaching award, the Charles W. Miller Resident Teaching award, and the Dean's Award for Excellence in Medical Student Teaching. So, we're very excited to have him on today to talk about this important topic.

New Year, new parenting goals? You're not alone. This week on the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, our host John Shep kicks off the episode by sharing his own resolution to become a more self-aware parent—setting the stage for a deep dive with renowned expert Jennifer Kolari, founder of Connected Parenting.

We wrap up with practical, permission-giving advice for busy parents on how to prioritize their own training without the guilt.

Read the full transcript here. How can we distinguish “real CBT” from supportive talk - does it include homework, clear goals, or a manualized plan? When therapy “doesn't work,” is it the modality, the match, or weak training? Are common factors enough once symptoms disrupt daily life? Why does fragmented care push patients to choose meds or therapy by luck of first contact? When are meds a useful boost versus a detour from solving life problems? What's distinct about DBT—skills, validation, and balancing change with acceptance? How does radical acceptance cut suffering without excusing harm? Which skills travel across diagnoses? How do we prevent therapist burnout and drift from the model? If we want durable gains, should we favor therapies that teach skills we keep after treatment ends?

Send us a textFor your Free Masterclass Gift - Click HereWhy do intelligent, self-aware people still feel stuck - even when they're motivated, capable, and trying hard to change?In this episode, Dr Amen Kaur explores the science -  why “starting over” often backfires - and why real change isn't a motivation or planning problem, but a nervous system and safety problem.Using neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, we break down how the brain responds to uncertainty. When the future feels unclear, the brain doesn't default to wisdom or creativity - it defaults to prediction and threat reduction. This is why overthinking, overplanning, and constant problem-solving can actually increase stuckness instead of resolving it.We unpack key scientific concepts including:Intolerance of uncertainty and how it drives anxiety, hesitation, and avoidanceThreat perception (amygdala activation) and why change can feel dangerous even when it's logicalRumination loops and why repetitive thinking narrows perception and optionsReward prediction and why the brain can underestimate the benefits of changeWhy familiar stress can feel safer than unfamiliar peaceThis episode explains why you can't outthink a conditioned system - and why clarity doesn't come from analysing more, but from restoring safety and regulation.As the system settles, perception widens. When perception widens, new options become visible. And when the body feels safe enough, action stops feeling forced - and starts feeling obvious.This is not a motivational reset or a “new year, new you” conversation. It's a grounded, science-backed explanation of why you were never broken - and how embodiment, not effort, is what brings you back online.If you've been trying to force clarity, restart your life, or plan your way into change - this episode offers a different path: one that meets the mind with logic, and the body with safety.

If going home for the holidays leaves you anxious, exhausted, or feeling like you're twelve years old again, this is not emotional weakness. This is your nervous system.When you're around your family of origin, the oldest wiring in your brain comes back online. These patterns were built before you had adult self-regulation. Your limbic system reacts fast, old roles resurface, and your regulated adult self can get pushed offline without you realizing it.What you're experiencing is neurological conditioning, not failure. And this season is an opportunity to do something different. You can interrupt the hijack, respond instead of react, and stay grounded even when everyone around you is not.Family of Origin Dysfunction: Why Going Home Dysregulates Your Brain

Yale psychologist Marc Brackett, bestselling author of Permission to Feel, joins Mosh to break down his new book ⁠Dealing With Feeling⁠ — a practical guide to emotional regulation at a moment when society seems more reactive, overwhelmed, and dis-regulated than ever. Brackett, who founded the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, explains what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). It's not suppressing emotions or “checking them at the door,” he says — it's learning to use your feelings wisely to achieve your goals. The episode dives into: Why most adults were never taught emotional regulation and how beliefs from childhood still shape our reactions. The crucial difference between emotions — anger vs. disappointment, anxiety vs. stress — and why naming them accurately changes everything. Co-regulation: how to support your partner, friend, colleague, or child through difficult feelings without fixing or lecturing. Why venting often backfires, and how to help someone break the cycle of rumination. The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.

In Episode 174 of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, Joe Adams sitsdown with Thomas Harris, a former Navy Submariner and leader at the Nashville Rescue Mission, for a raw and powerful conversation about trauma, purpose, faith, and resilience.Thomas shares his journey through a challenging childhood, years of uncertainty, and the defining decision that led him into the U.S. Navy. From serving aboard submarines to working daily with individuals experiencing homelessness, Thomas reflects on the weight of responsibility, the power of humility, and the importance of emotional discipline.This episode explores what it means to confront pain rather than escape it, how unaddressed trauma shapes behavior, and why gratitude found in the darkest moments can become a guiding force. Thomas also discusses faith, personal accountability, and the mindset required to lead, serve, andde-escalate chaos in high-stress environments.

Yale psychologist Marc Brackett, bestselling author of Permission to Feel, joins Mosh to break down his new book ⁠Dealing With Feeling⁠ — a practical guide to emotional regulation at a moment when society seems more reactive, overwhelmed, and dis-regulated than ever. Brackett, who founded the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, explains what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). It's not suppressing emotions or “checking them at the door,” he says — it's learning to use your feelings wisely to achieve your goals. The episode dives into: Why most adults were never taught emotional regulation and how beliefs from childhood still shape our reactions. The crucial difference between emotions — anger vs. disappointment, anxiety vs. stress — and why naming them accurately changes everything. Co-regulation: how to support your partner, friend, colleague, or child through difficult feelings without fixing or lecturing. Why venting often backfires, and how to help someone break the cycle of rumination. The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.

Ask Rachel anythingNone of us likes blowing a fuse when our teen does something that triggers us, but we all do it at some point. Nicky asked us to discuss this topic after she felt she'd overreacted to bad feedback from her son's teachers. We know it fixes nothing and leaves us feeling worse than before, but can we keep smoothing it over with an apology?  It was such a great topic to suggest, and when it was first aired I had some amazing feedback from listeners who'd suddenly realised that they were reacting in the way they had been programmed to by their own family.My daughter also told me that the main reason her friends don't tell her parents anything is that they think the parents either don't care or that they'll overract.That's why this podcast is so valuable. It gives us as space to stop and think about the things that come to us unbidden, so that we can upack them and make changes that help us with our own relationships.Long term, if we don't manage to adapt, we run the risk of ruining our connection with our teens because they learn that the best way to manage us parents is to keep quiet, hide, or lie to prevent a repeat.  So how can we stop ourselves from overreacting? We talk through some mindfulness techniques that could make all the difference. This is also a VITAL skill to teach our own teens. BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:When You Lose It by Roxy and Gay LongworthThe Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve PetersRESOURCES:How to Stop Overreacting to Everything by Patrick Allanhttps://psychcentral.com/blog/how-to-stop-overreacting#recaphttps://theparentingreframe.com/the-4-steps-you-need-to-stopoverreacting-and-yelling-at-your-kids-for-good/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/surviving-your-childs-adolescence/201007/overreactions-in-adolescenceteenagersuntangled.substack.comSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit.

There's a particular moment many of us know well — when everything feels like too much. Not dramatically, but quietly, heavily, relentlessly. You're still functioning, still showing up, but inside, something is fraying. And the most painful part? The story you tell yourself about it: I should be able to handle this.In this episode, we explore why overwhelm isn't a personal failure — it's a predictable outcome when multiple vulnerabilities align. Using insights from the Swiss Cheese Model and Paul Gilbert's three emotional systems, we unpack why your nervous system can't "just cope" when recovery is structurally unavailable.This isn't about becoming stronger. It's about understanding why one small change can still matter — even when everything feels impossible.We'll explore:Why overwhelm is rarely about one thing — it's an accumulation of pressures that alignHow the Swiss Cheese Model explains why burnout happens when recovery becomes impossibleThe three emotional systems (Threat, Drive, and Soothing) and why modern life keeps two constantly activatedWhy your nervous system needs recovery cycles, not just more willpowerHow one small change can close one vulnerability — and why that mattersWhy resistance to small changes is often a sign of how depleted you areSend me a DM_____________________________________________________________________ Visit jenniferwalter.me – your cosy tree house where tired perfectionists and those done pretending to be fine find space to breathe, dream, and create real change.

In Fishing Without Bait Episode 496 – *Clearing the Etch-A-Sketch: Letting Go of What Isn't Ours, we continue Part 3 of our conversation with returning guest and Clairvoyant *Santina Grace. This episode focuses on healing trauma without rewriting or reliving the past. Through grounding visualizations, breathwork, and recovery-based insights, Santina and the Fishing Without Bait team discuss how emotional experiences can be deconstructed so they no longer control our present moment. Using metaphors like clearing an Etch-A-Sketch or rooting into the earth through mindful breathing, the conversation highlights how releasing emotional energy that doesn't belong to us creates space for clarity, neutrality, and joy. We also explore recovery as a universal human process — because everyone is in recovery from something — and how honoring yourself begins with learning to listen.

Emotional intelligence can take you far—but insight alone doesn't always create change. In this episode, I explore the missing skill that determines whether emotional intelligence stays intellectual or becomes embodied. I break down why self-awareness and regulation eventually hit a ceiling without the ability to lead yourself through discomfort, decisions, and follow-through—and where this shows up in real life, from boundaries to consistency.If you've ever thought “I know better, so why am I still stuck?” this episode will help you understand why.Support the showVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

After an extended break, Kris and Melon reunite behind the microphones for a powerful and deeply honest conversation. Life hasn't exactly taken it easy on either of them during the time away, and this episode dives straight into the real-world challenges that have tested their leadership, their resilience, their emotional regulation, and ultimately—their commitment to keep pushing back chaos. • Leadership Under Fire Kris and Melon open up about situations that forced them to lead under pressure, make hard calls, and stay grounded while others leaned on them for stability. • Family Hardship & Unexpected Tests Both share personal updates about family struggles and the emotional weight that comes with wanting to protect, guide, and serve the people you love most. • Emotional Regulation & Dysregulation They unpack moments where they rose to the occasion… and moments where they didn't. This is a raw and relatable look at how even seasoned leaders have to continually train the emotional muscles. • Coaching, Mentorship & Being the Student Again The guys reflect on recent coaching conversations—both the ones they've given and the ones they've needed. They explore how mentorship shapes their pathways forward and why humility remains non-negotiable in personal growth. • Building Healthy Pathways Forward From habits and mindset to faith and support systems, Kris and Mellon detail the intentional choices they are making to move forward with strength, clarity, and purpose—not just for themselves, but for the people they lead. A Special Update: Australia Awaits The episode closes with something long overdue—Kris's upcoming trip to Melbourne to ring in the New Year with the McFadden clan. The two share their excitement, some friendly banter, and what they hope this long-awaited rendezvous will mean for their friendship, their families, and the future of Pushing Back Chaos.

Send us a textHave you ever walked into a holiday gathering with a smile on your face and a knot in your stomach? You're passing the potatoes, making small talk, and meanwhile you're sitting on years of unspoken hurt, unresolved conversations, and roles you never quite chose but still end up playing.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're talking directly to you if your relationship (or family dynamics) already feel shaky and the holidays crank everything up to a ten. We'll unpack why this season doesn't create conflict, it magnifies what's been left unresolved... old wounds, family roles, people pleasing, anxious attachment, and the “keep the peace at all costs” habits that quietly erode connection.Inside, we explore:What conflict actually is: the collision between our expectations and realityHow people pleasing and staying “nice” often keeps you stuck in illusion instead of realityWhy unresolved tension turns tiny comments into huge reactions around the tableWhat it really means to emotionally regulate (and why it's more like holding a plank than being perfectly calm)How to see conflict as information, not danger, so you can respond instead of explode or shut downOur “holiday decoder” for common one-liners (“Let's just keep it simple this year,” “Let's not talk about politics,” etc.) and what's really being said underneathIf you're tired of dreading gatherings, biting your tongue, or blowing up and then regretting it, this conversation will help you start seeing conflict differently – as a doorway to clarity instead of a sign that everything's falling apart.Want extra support this holiday season?If things already feel tense or overwhelming, the Holiday Survival Bundle gives you the tools to steady yourself fast.For $97 or 2 payments of $55, you'll get:The Holiday Stress Test to pinpoint your exact pressure pointsThree core relationship skill programs to help you:regulate your emotionscommunicate without blowupsstay connected during the hardest weeks of the yearThese tools are simple, fast to use, and made for real-life holiday chaos.Get the bundle here: https://stacibartley.com/holiday-bundle-ncTimestamps: 02:09 Unresolved History and Family Roles06:18 Understanding Conflict: Expectations vs. Reality10:08 The Illusion of People Pleasing12:36 Emotional Regulation and Communication14:54 Practical Examples and Skills for Conflict Resolution21:08 The Importance of Emotional Tension25:33 Recognizing the Precipice: Taking a Pause25:52 The Power of Movement: Shake a Bush26:11 Emotional Regulation in Relationships28:49 Understanding Conflict and Chaos33:25 Navigating Holiday Stress35:37 Introducing the Holiday Survival Bundle38:20 Fan Mail and Listener Questions41:20 Holiday Conversation Decoder Challenge45:13 Final Thoughts and Resources

What if the way your needs were met in infancy still shapes your ability to feel safe, seen, and supported today?Welcome to the end-of-year challenge: The Return to Magic.

Send us a textIn this deeply moving episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Erica Bonham, a trauma recovery therapist, EMDR clinician, and author of Always Enough, Never Done. Together, they explore how healing doesn't happen through willpower or “positive thinking”—it begins in the body.Erica reveals the difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma, how experiences get stored in the nervous system, and why self-compassion is a biological necessity, not a luxury. She opens up about her own story of adoption, identity, and transformation—showing that what breaks us can also become the soil for growth.You'll learn how to calm your body's alarm system, regulate your vagus nerve, and approach personal change with both structure and softness. Erica and Joey discuss how modern society confuses discipline with punishment, and how true strength comes from balance, not burnout.

Today we're talking about romanticizing your life in a way that actually shifts how you feel—without forcing it, faking it, or making life look perfect. Think: more presence, more softness, more intention, and more self-connection in the moments you'd normally overlook.Have a question or need one of the Black Friday codes?

You can be successful, confident, and unstoppable in business: and still lose your edge when it comes to love. In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Alejandra Maria, a dating strategist and viral creator who helps ambitious women stop chasing and start leading with self-respect. We talk about what it really means to have emotional discipline, the ability to pause before reacting, to stay calm instead of proving your worth, and to walk away instead of negotiating for respect. Alejandra breaks down how “no contact” can be a power move, not a game, and why emotional diversification is the secret to staying grounded when everything feels personal. If you're the kind of woman who thrives under pressure but keeps losing your balance in relationships, this one's for you. We unpack how to bring the same clarity and control you have in business into your emotional life, without losing your softness or your power. Alejandra Maria has built a global audience of nearly a million women with her unapologetic, emotionally intelligent take on modern dating. Her insights have been featured in Newsweek, Girlboss, and more. And she's redefining what it means to be “high value” in love and life. What We Discuss: (04:10) Why high-achieving women often lose power in love (06:05) The difference between emotional discipline and emotional suppression (08:42) “You can't outwork emotional chaos”: bringing business mindset into dating (12:30) How “no contact” became the most powerful boundary you can set (18:20) Emotional diversification: spreading your energy beyond one relationship (25:14) Why confidence isn't control, it's composure (33:47) The signs you're over-functioning in relationships (42:30) How to stop chasing and start being chosen (51:12) The mindset shift from proving your worth to holding your power (58:40) How to regulate emotions like you train your body: consistency over chaos       …and more!
