Podcasts about emotional regulation

What if emotional regulation isn't about calming yourself down—but becoming available to hear God more clearly? So many of us have been taught to suppress our emotions, push through them, or simply "get over it." But that's not how God designed us to heal. In this episode, I explain what emotional regulation really is, why it's the missing step before emotional processing, and how learning to prepare your body, mind, and soul can help you respond with greater wisdom instead of reacting automatically. You'll also discover why emotional regulation is a spiritual practice that helps you stay connected to God even in the middle of difficult emotions. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Emotional Regulation Is More Than Simply Calming Down [03:00] Why Healthy Feelings Aren't Emotionless [05:00] The Missing Step Before Emotional Processing [08:00] Why Emotional Prep and Emotional Processing Work Together [10:00] How Regulation Changes Your Body, Mind, and Relationship with God [13:00] Learning to Calm and Quiet Your Soul [18:00] Emotional Regulation Is About Shepherding, Not Controlling Yourself [20:00] Building Emotional Confidence One Emotion at a Time RESOURCES: Emotional Overwhelm Reset System If overwhelm is keeping you stuck, the Emotional Overwhelm Reset System will teach you exactly what to do in those moments when your emotions feel too big to process.

After three weeks on the road, the Contacts Coaching Podcast returns with Desiree Nunez, a mental health therapist and basketball coach at Eagle Crest High School in the Cherry Creek area near Denver. Nunez shares how coaching was “in her blood” through her Air Force veteran father, how she became a therapist to meet mental health needs in athletics, and how she returned to coaching after COVID—eventually earning head coaching opportunities and winning extensively with freshman teams. She explains practical sports-psychology tools for coaches: normalizing emotions (especially for boys), teaching players to notice and name feelings, locate them in the body, regulate, and then “next play.” She details a three-clap reset, body-language standards, and asking for a sub to reset. The conversation also covers time-management lessons from middle school constraints, combining drills with game-like constraints, and how “challenging” authority through curious questions improves leadership.00:00 Meet Desiree Nunez00:39 Coaching Roots02:33 Therapy Path03:52 Back to the Bench05:38 Military Culture Shift09:25 Sports Psychology Breakthrough11:46 Feelings and Regulation17:21 Notice the Emotion25:09 Halftime and Practice Talks26:38 Three Clap Reset31:27 Coaching Boys as Woman33:05 Coaching Boys as a Woman34:05 Freshman Program Trust Issues36:15 Head Coach Reality Check37:35 45-Minute Practice Crunch39:49 Zoom Out and Prioritize43:12 Game-Like Drills and Constraints48:44 Hack Drills for Weaknesses54:18 Bring It Back to High School57:50 Changing Minds on Challenge01:05:41 Be Willing to Be Cringe01:09:22 Assistant Coach Courage Wrap-Up

Should You Do a 90-Day Sex Fast? Understanding the Purpose, Pitfalls, and Path to Deeper Intimacy Episode Summary Is a 90-day sex fast the right choice for your relationship? In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore one of the most frequently discussed—and often misunderstood—recommendations in betrayal recovery and unwanted sexual behavior treatment. Rather than focusing on whether couples should or shouldn't abstain from sexual activity, they examine the purpose behind a 90-day reset and why intentionality matters far more than the number of days. They discuss how a temporary pause in sexual activity can reduce pressure, create emotional safety, and help couples develop healthier patterns of connection. At the same time, they caution that without clear expectations and a shared plan, a sex fast can create frustration, distance, or unrealistic expectations rather than healing. Listeners will learn why rebuilding intimacy requires much more than simply removing sex from the relationship. True healing comes from strengthening psychological safety, emotional connection, honest communication, affection, friendship, and shared experiences. Whether you're considering a sex fast or simply looking for healthier ways to reconnect, this episode offers practical guidance for building a stronger relationship. Based on their clinical experience, Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn encourage couples to view a 90-day sex fast not as a rule or punishment, but as one possible tool for resetting patterns, developing greater self-mastery, and creating deeper intimacy that extends well beyond the bedroom. Key Takeaways A 90-day sex fast is a tool—not a requirement—for healing. Couples should clearly define what a "sex fast" means before beginning. The primary goal is to reduce pressure and rebuild trust, not simply abstain from sex. Emotional, verbal, intellectual, and relational intimacy should intentionally increase during the fast. Learning sexual self-mastery and emotional regulation benefits both partners. Physical affection may still be appropriate if both partners establish healthy boundaries together. Without a thoughtful plan, a sex fast can create distance rather than connection. The healthiest outcome is a stronger overall relationship—not simply the return of sexual activity. Tools for Your Healing Journey The Intimacy Pyramid – Build your relationship on psychological safety, trust, and multiple forms of intimacy before focusing on sexual intimacy. Emotional Regulation & Sexual Self-Mastery – Learn healthier ways to regulate emotions and sexual desire without relying exclusively on sexual behavior for comfort or connection. Intentional Relationship Rituals – Daily practices such as walking together, reading together, meaningful conversations, laughter, and shared experiences strengthen connection throughout the healing process. Podcast Discussion Questions – Additional conversation questions are available in the Human Intimacy Podcast Companion Course to help couples continue these conversations together.

What if the emotional patterns you struggle with aren’t actually who you are? What if they’re just patterns—and patterns can be interrupted? I’m joined by Dr. Elisha Goldstein, returning to the show eight years after his first appearance, to talk about his new book, Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about healthy eating, exercise, fitness, sleep, and all the things we do to live a long and healthy life, but what about the emotional stuff? Because Elisha makes the case that emotional longevity is just as important as physical longevity—and that living in a high-stress, agitated pattern can potentially take years off your life. We get into his simple 4-R method: recognize, release, refocus, reinforce, which can help you catch yourself in an overwhelmed loop before you spiral into those undesirable, repeatable patterns. We talk about why the skills we learn can easily fail us when we need them the most—when we’re under pressure, agitated, or triggered—and how to create more space between stimulus and response. Elisha explains why emotions are biology, how getting in touch with what’s happening in your body can change the way you respond, and why asking your brain better questions can lead to better answers. We also talk about the everyday moments that can send us into these patterns, from traffic to social media outrage to difficult relationships, and Elisha shares a personal story about getting scammed online that puts all of this to the test in real time. This is a fascinating conversation about emotional health, longevity, and learning to recognize the patterns that drive our behavior so we can interrupt them and give ourselves more choice in the moments when we need it most.

Here's what nobody tells you about growing a your wellness business: your marketing isn't the problem. Your ability to self regulate is. I've been a coach since 2012, and I've watched practitioners with excellent frameworks, strong offers, and good marketing still lose clients, still get stuck at the same revenue ceiling, still burn out. The common thread isn't strategy. It's that they were dysregulated, and their clients could feel it. When you're not regulated, you don't hold space. You control. You push your agenda. You try to fix instead of facilitate. Clients sense that, even when they can't name it, and it's exactly what erodes trust, shortens client relationships, and kills referrals. Mastering emotional regulation isn't an optional skill. It's the foundation of business growth in a service business, because your nervous system is your product. In this episode I break down the first three steps of the five step process I use to stay regulated under pressure, including a technique you can use in the middle of a session, a sales call, or a hard conversation with a client who's about to cancel.  Save your free seat for Coach Week https://integrativemindbodycoach.com/coach-week 

In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline Buzanko wraps up the self-care for resilience mini series by exploring how nutrition, hydration, self-compassion, unstructured play, frustration tolerance, and everyday habits influence emotional regulation. She explains why the brain needs consistent fuel to manage emotions, why skipping meals can look like anxiety or behaviour problems, and how small daily habits shape resilience over time.Dr. Caroline also discusses how self compassion strengthens resilience, and why celebrating mistakes can reduce anxiety while building confidence.This episode also explores why boredom, outdoor play, and allowing children to struggle safely help develop emotional strength and independence. Rather than trying to change everything at once, Dr. Caroline shares practical ways to build one habit at a time so lasting change feels realistic.If you want to help children regulate emotions more effectively, this episode offers simple, research informed strategies that begin with everyday habits many families overlook.In this episode you'll learn:• Why nutrition directly affects emotional regulation and behaviour• How hydration influences attention, learning, and mood• Why self-compassion reduces anxiety and supports resilience• How free play and frustration build emotional strength• Simple ways to create healthy habits that actually lastHomework Activities1.

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that you couldn't even name what you were feeling?

We're taught that staying calm, letting it go, and being the bigger person is the mature, high-road move. But sometimes "keeping the peace" is just another way of abandoning yourself — and every time you swallow it, smooth it over, or let it slide, you're quietly teaching people what you'll tolerate. In this episode, Robin Quinn Keehn unpacks the difference between real calm — the kind rooted in self-trust and clear boundaries — and the performance of calm that slowly erodes your self-respect. You'll learn why the calmest person in the room actually holds the most authority, how to tell when "being gracious" has tipped into self-betrayal, and what it sounds like to say the last calm word in a way that keeps you honest instead of just keeping everyone else comfortable. If you've ever walked away from a conversation calm on the outside and hollow on the inside, this one's for you. In this episode: • Why "being the bigger person" can be self-betrayal in disguise • The difference between keeping the peace and keeping your integrity • How staying silent teaches people what you'll tolerate • What the calmest, most grounded response actually sounds like

Welcome to the very first episode of The Total Somatics Show.Have you ever wondered why certain people, situations or even news headlines can affect you so deeply?Why do some people seem calm on the outside, yet feel constantly on edge within?And what if the way you respond today isn't really about today at all?In this opening episode, Heidi explores one of the most important concepts in Total Somatics: the difference between living and surviving.Through a Total Somatics lens, you'll discover how your nervous system, posture, breathing, muscle tension and everyday behaviours may all be reflecting learned survival patterns that began years—even decades—ago.This isn't about blame. It's about understanding.When we understand our patterns, we can begin to change them.In this episode, you'll discover:Why many people live from survival mode without realising it.How emotionally unpredictable environments can shape the nervous system.The connection between stress, muscle tension, posture and breathing.Why you may spend more time in your head than connected to your body.How high-functioning anxiety, people-pleasing, overworking or withdrawing can all be different expressions of the same underlying survival response.Why awareness is the first step towards meaningful and lasting change.How neuroplasticity gives us hope that learned patterns can be updated.Heidi also shares personal reflections about resilience, life experiences and the lessons that have shaped both her clinical practice and her outlook on life.Throughout this podcast, you'll hear practical insights drawn from more than 25 years of clinical experience, combined with conversations around emotional intelligence, relationships, business, resilience, mindset and the human experience—all explored through a Total Somatics perspective.A question to reflect onWhat does your body do first when you feel stressed?Do your shoulders rise?Does your jaw tighten?Do you hold your breath?Do you keep pushing through... or quietly pull away?Sometimes our body tells us the truth long before our mind catches up.Join the conversationThe Total Somatics Show is something we're building together.I'd love to hear:Your questionsYour life lessonsYour challengesYour storiesTopics you'd love explored on future episodes

Modern leadership often feels like a race against an invisible clock. As organizations struggle with the rapid integration of AI and shifting market expectations, many executives find themselves physically present but existentially hollow. The traditional advice of taking breaks or setting boundaries is no longer sufficient. Leaders need a new approach to energy management that prioritizes their core identity over the constant pressure to perform - leaders are making more decisions than ever with less certainty and diminishing time. This exhaustion is not just a symptom of overwork; it is a signal of a deeper disconnect. Lena and I discuss how to use emotional regulation and human design to help leaders overcome exhaustion and reclaim their authentic power in the era of AI. The “strong leader” myth is a primary driver of modern burnout. AI will soon perform 95% of our cognitive data processing. Senior leaders often deny - or are disconnected from - their emotions, outwardly exuding strength for the benefit of others.If your leadership identity is built on being the “smartest person in the room” or the one who sees patterns first, you are at risk of an existential crisis. The new competitive advantage for leaders isn't IQ. It's consciousness and emotional regulation.We are taught to suppress emotions, wear a brave face, and act with unyielding certainty. But this self-preservation mask is exactly what leads to exhaustion.Lena Thompson highlights a critical reality: burnout isn't just about what you do. It is about what you refuse to feel. When you stay in a job or relationship you have outgrown, that internal pressure compounds.The fix isn't another week off or a better calendar app. The fix is cultivating a relationship with your emotions. When you pause and label your frustration or impatience, you create space, space where you can move speeds and where better decision live. Neuroscience suggests that our logical mind operates at just 5% of our potential. The remaining 95% is driven by subconscious patterns. If you only make decisions based on past data, you are destined to repeat the same predictable results. Human design can help executives understand their unique wiring. It's not about labels or frameworks, but it's about energy management.Some leaders are built to work in bursts. Others are built to create consistent output. When you try to force a different energy model onto your team, you foster burnout and stagnation.Try this strategy for this week:Spend five minutes every morning without a screen. Connect with what you actually want to experience that day.Stop checking your phone and start setting your intent.What is one “old behavior” you are trying to break this month?The main insights you'll get from this episode are :It is often possible to build mental and physical resilience without having any control of emotions.Senior leaders often deny - or are disconnected from - their emotions, outwardly exuding strength for the benefit of others.Burnout develops over time as internal pressure builds into illness, depression, collapse.In the absence of open discussion of burnout in organisations, human design helps people connect to their emotions and understand themselves, impacting relationships, optimising energy and aiding decision-making.Energy management and consciousness in the corporate world help provide a better ‘view', enabling life to respond to energy as opposed to struggles.Energy also affects decision-making and is far more effective than basing decisions on (binary) logic that offers repeat solutions based on past data.We are driven by subconscious patterns and developing our intuition teaches us how to trust our impulses.Amidst the constant cognitive pressure to deliver, the power of pause is undeniable, particularly in the age of AI when everything is immediate.Sometimes it is better to make no decision; and making decisions with awareness creates space to make a different choice.Stopping and recognising/feeling emotions builds the capacity to hold more pressure and gives us power over our emotions.Scaling human design in the corporate world requires more conscious leaders, or a realisation that things have to change and current tools don't work.There is no limit to what human design can do in the corporate world: elevating consciousness, bringing our best selves to work, allowing us to be authentic and free.Taking time in the morning to connect to how we want our day to be programmes our minds to focus on what we want and redirects our brains.Reflecting in the evening will offer insight into how our responses differ and require less energy.Find out more about Lena and her work here :https://www.linkedin.com/in/lena-thompson1/For more information on this episode please visit www.transformforvalue.com/podcastTo carry on developing your leadership and building a relevant & high performing team, connect with me here : https://calendly.com/transformforvalue/connect

Pressure does not create a response. It exposes the response that has already been trained. Former professional hockey coach and mental strength coach Greg Poss returns to explain how leaders can recognize fear-driven reactions, return to a more deliberate state, and build resilience before the stakes rise. Greg, John McMahon, and John Kaplan examine why external achievement delivers only temporary satisfaction, how a leader's emotional state influences the performance of the team, and why productive discomfort must be paired with a clear path forward. They also discuss practical tools including breathing, visualization, self-awareness, and Greg's 21-day process for building more consistent responses in high-pressure environments. Greg Poss spent decades coaching professional hockey in the United States and Europe, including leading the Mannheim Eagles to a championship and coaching the German national team. He now works with athletes, coaches, and business leaders to strengthen mental resilience and improve performance under pressure.

In this week's episode, Candace explores how easy it is to fill in the gaps when life feels uncertain. Whether it's a relationship, work, parenting, or an unanswered question, the mind often creates a story to make sense of what it doesn't know—and before long, that story can begin to feel like reality. Using the image of holding tightly to an empty dog leash, Candace reflects on the illusion of control, the weight of assumptions, and how journaling has helped her release anxious thoughts instead of carrying them in her body. It's a gentle reminder to loosen the grip, question the stories we create, and leave space for the truth to unfold.

In this episode of Pro Mindset® Podcast, host Craig Domann sits down with author, speaker, podcast host, and mindset expert Juan Lee to explore the challenges of connection in modern athletics and everyday life. From navigating the shift toward emotional blind spots in relationships to protecting elite athletes from the pitfalls of a volatile post-career transition, Juan's insight on trust, care, and core character provides a vital playbook for families.Juan shares his experiences with building intentional self-improvement habits, the critical role of family values in long-term success, and why chasing the quickest escape via short-term decisions can derail an athlete's dream of reaching their full potential. He emphasizes the importance of relational awareness, non-monetary factors in financial stewardship, and maintaining emotional regulation in a cutthroat environment. Juan also highlights the vital role of radical honesty in self-awareness and lifelong mentorship.Additionally, Juan balances his leadership expertise as a dedicated caregiver for over eighteen years to his extended family. His friendship and mutual respect with Craig shines through this conversation. It's a reminder that Craig entered this business not to guard territory, but to help people achieve their goals and dreams — and Juan's collaborative approach to building championship mindsets is living proof of that.Episode Takeaways: 

Have you ever eaten a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream even though you want to lose some weight and you weren't physically hungry? Or skipped the walk you planned to take? Or stayed up late scrolling on your phone even though you promised yourself you would go to bed earlier that night?So why did you give in to the urge and what can you do about it?In Part 1 of the three-part Name It to Navigate It series, Amy introduces affect labeling—the skill and practice of putting feelings into words. Research suggests that when you name your emotions, activity in the amygdala (your brain's alarm system) may decrease while your prefrontal cortex and specifically areas involved in language and self-control become more active.That shift can create something incredibly valuable: a pause between what you feel and what you do next.Why Naming Emotions Supports Better Health HabitsYou may already know that sleep, movement, nutrition, hydration, social connection, and stress management support long-term brain health.But knowing what to do is not the same as consistently doing it.An unnamed emotion can drive late-night eating, doomscrolling, sleep procrastination, skipped workouts, social withdrawal, or anxious symptom-checking. In this episode, you'll discover:00:00 — Why you reach for food, skip movement, or scroll late at night01:15 — The gap between knowing and doing03:00 — The unnamed emotions behind common unwanted behaviors05:10 — Why “What's wrong with me?” is the wrong question06:00 — What affect labeling actually means08:20 — The brain science behind naming emotions10:30 — How two words can create a pause before action13:20 — What to do when a memory lapse triggers Alzheimer's fear16:00 — Why family history and genetics are not the whole story18:10 — How emotional awareness connects to healthy habits21:00 — Your next step and what's coming in Part 2Listen now and learn how to stop reacting, start responding, and make your brain-health habits more intentional.Resources MentionedDownload the Practice TLC worksheet:https://moxie-club.com/tlcLearn more about Amy and download brain-health resources:https://amylangcoaching.comOrder Thoughts Are Habits Too and read a free preview:https://thoughtsarehabitstoo.comSubscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@happyandhealthywithamyFollow Amy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/amylangcoachingFollow Amy on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/amylangcoachingRESOURCES:Download the FREE Excerpt of Thoughts Are Habits TooPurchase Thoughts Are Habits TooBook a FREE Discovery Call with AmyDownload After Mom's Alzheimer's Diagnosis: The First 8 Things to Know and learn how to support her with more calm, clarity, and confidence.Download the RESTORED Protocol: Eight Essential Protective Factors to Build an Alzheimer's-Resistant BrainSchedule your Breakthrough Roadmap session with AmyFollow Amy on Instagram @amylangcoaching  and on Facebook @amylangcoachingSubscribe to Amy's YouTube channel @happyandhealthywithamy

Fishing Without Bait 524 presents the third and final part of Jim Ellermeyer's conversation with Missy Sorg about political differences, social-media behavior and the possibility of maintaining meaningful relationships with people who do not share our beliefs. Rather than trying to win a debate, Jim and Missy examine what happens when people listen to respond instead of listening to learn. They discuss the echo chambers created by social media, the pressure to react immediately and the assumptions people make based on political labels. Jim introduces the space between stimulus and response as the place where choice and freedom can be found. Missy speaks candidly about her experiences working with Republican candidates and organizations. She explains why she does not automatically block every hostile commenter, how she decides when a response crosses the line and what can happen when community members answer an argument with research and supporting information. She also shares a personal story about telling a longtime Democratic friend that she was a Republican. Although he was initially shocked, the two eventually talked openly about their differences. He did not change his political position, but he was able to tell her, “I still don't agree with it, but I don't hate you.” Their friendship survived because they chose curiosity and conversation over assumptions. The discussion also looks at the effect constant screen use can have on attention, emotional health and sleep. Missy describes replacing nighttime doomscrolling with physical books and noticing improvements in her sleep and overall outlook. Jim and Missy encourage listeners to become more intentional about how social media is used instead of allowing it to become a form of constant maintenance. This episode is not about convincing everyone to agree. It is an invitation to pause, ask questions, listen actively and remember that a political designation does not represent the entirety of another human being.

Can you really love yourself? Or is the whole idea built on a misunderstanding of who you are?Self-love has become one of the defining ideas of modern culture—but what if it can never deliver what it promises? Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad-gītā and ancient yoga philosophy, Acharya das explores why lasting happiness, freedom from loneliness, and genuine love begin not with the mind, but with discovering your true spiritual identity. He argues that the widespread embrace of self-love is fundamentally flawed because it rests on a misidentification of the self — confusing the eternal spiritual being with the temporary body and mind.The ancient Vedic verses quoted in this talk.O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness. Bhagavad-gītā 13.34Just as fire, which burns and illuminates, is different from firewood, which is to be burned to give illumination, similarly the seer within the body, the self-enlightened spirit soul, is different from the material body, which is to be illuminated by consciousness. Thus the spirit soul and the body possess different characteristics and are separate things. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.10.8 One who is enlightened in self-realization, although living within the material body, sees himself as transcendental to the body, just as one who has arisen from a dream gives up identification with the dream body. A foolish person, however, although not identical with his material body but transcendental to it, thinks himself to be situated in the body, just as one who is dreaming sees himself as situated in an imaginary body. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.11.8 A man must elevate himself by his own mind, not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. - Bhagavad-gītā 6.5Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and Motivation for Discussing Self-Love ‎ 00:01:22 Historical Context and Modern Development of Self-Love ‎ 00:05:12 The Fundamental Question: Who or What is the Self? ‎ 00:07:45 The Yogic Understanding of Self and Spiritual Identity ‎ 00:09:36 The Root Cause of Suffering According to Yogic Teaching ‎ 00:11:19 Materialism vs. Spiritual Understanding ‎ 00:14:44 Scriptural Evidence: Consciousness Illuminates the Body ‎ 00:17:40 The Universal Nature of Consciousness in All Life Forms ‎ 00:21:59 The Dream Analogy and False Identification ‎ 00:25:26 The Problem with Self-Love: Who Loves Whom? ‎ 00:27:10 The Mind as Separate from the True Self ‎ 00:29:00 Self-Sabotage and the Confusion of Identity ‎ 00:31:46 Positive and Negative Self-Talk: Two Sides of the Same Coin ‎ 00:34:43 The Yogic Approach: Immunity to Praise and Criticism ‎ 00:40:22 The Mind as Friend or Enemy ‎ 00:42:21 The Faculty of Intelligence (Buddhi) ‎ 00:44:14 Practical Advice for Emotional Regulation ‎ 00:47:28 The Definition and Nature of Love ‎ 00:50:22 The Spiritual Perspective on Love and Relationship ‎ 00:53:35 The Historical Shift in Psychology's View of Self-Love 00:56:08 The Spiritual Foundation of Worth and Value ‎ 00:58:06 The Natural Desires of the Soul ‎ 01:00:32 Critique of "Greatest Love of All" and Conclusion

SYNOPSIS:What if intelligence is far bigger than IQ, rational thought, or what we've been taught to measure? In this fascinating conversation, Ali sits down with coach and researcher Rachel Fell to explore neurodiversity as an expression of human biodiversity, challenging our assumptions about what it means to think, feel, perceive, and truly know. Together they venture beyond the limits of our culturally conditioned understanding of intelligence, revealing a far broader way of knowing through our lived experience as sensing bodies.Whether you identify as neurodivergent or simply long to feel more fully alive, this episode offers a refreshing invitation to rethink intelligence itself. From trauma, sensitivity, and nervous system regulation to movement, emotion, and the remarkable adaptability of the human body, Ali and Rachel explore how reclaiming our full-bodied intelligence may be one of the most important - and hopeful - frontiers of our time.To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE RACHEL FELL:BIO: Rachel Fell is a coach, consultant and collaborator working at the intersections of neurodiversity, living intelligence, perception, and embodied awareness. For over six years she has worked with gifted, neurocomplex, sensitive and intense adults around the globe, co-exploring in the service of full-body intelligence and their unique paths to realization and fulfillment.

218  What does a truly emotionally safe, loving marriage actually feel like…from the inside?In this episode, I invite you to step into an ordinary day inside what I call a Safe Heart Partnership: a relationship where you feel emotionally safe, deeply connected, genuinely cherished, and at home with one another—even when life isn't perfect.I want you to get a taste of what that really feels like.Why? Because when you can clearly envision—and even begin to feel—the kind of relationship you're longing for, your brain naturally starts orienting toward it, making it easier to recognize opportunities and make choices to bring it alive, and begin actually creating it one ordinary day at a time.So, together, we'll walk through a simple Tuesday...sharing coffee in the morning, navigating a disagreement, responding to a difficult day, repairing after a hurt, and ending the evening side by side. Because the goal isn't a relationship without challenges.It's a relationship where the challenges no longer threaten your connection, and even bring you closer over time. And you feel truly home with each other.As you imagine yourself living these moments, you'll begin experiencing what emotional security within you and emotional safety between you actually feel like, so you can move towards it in your own real life more easily.So if you've been longing for a marriage that feels peaceful, warm, supportive, playful, and deeply good to live inside, this episode will give you a glimpse of what's possible—and will help your heart begin moving toward it.This is the kind of partnership I believe every highly sensitive woman deserves.

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with his wife, Kristina Ebel, for an intimate conversation about what it really takes to raise resilient kids. Drawing on 18 years of parenting and their own childhoods — Tony's on a farm, Kristina's in a first-generation immigrant business family — they unpack how resilience is built through chiropractic-informed health, intentional core values, and modeling (not just preaching) hard work, service, and faith. The conversation moves from practical family stories (a UTV accident, a missed cross-country cutoff by 1.8 seconds) to bigger-picture philosophy on purpose versus balance, why perspective matters more than circumstance, and why parents' own nervous system health is the foundation everything else is built on. They close with encouragement for parents who feel like they're failing, and a reminder that chiropractic care isn't just for kids — it's for parents too.----Links & Resources:Register for the free Breaking the Cycle of School Struggles Webinar HERE-----Key Topics & Timestamps05:00 Meet the Ebel family: a quick picture of life with four kids08:00 Resilience through illness: chiropractic vs. the conventional response13:00 Growing up resilient: Kristina's immigrant family business & Tony's farm upbringing21:00 Building the Ebel family core values24:00 Anchored, Call to Serve, and Unshakable: values in action27:00 Purpose over balance: why chasing "balance" leads to burnout34:00 Oliver's 1.8-second lesson in resilience35:00 What to tell a parent who feels like they're failing40:00 Why chiropractic care matters for parents, not just kids-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

When your child seems constantly overwhelmed, distracted, anxious, or emotionally reactive, it's easy to assume you need another behaviour strategy. Sometimes the first place to look is much simpler.In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline Buzanko explains why movement and sleep are two of the strongest predictors of emotional regulation, attention, resilience, and learning. She shares what happens inside the brain when children move their bodies, why exercise supports executive functioning, and how quality sleep helps the brain process emotions, strengthen memory, and prepare for the next day.You'll also learn why taking away recess often makes behaviour worse, how phones interfere with healthy sleep, why teenagers naturally struggle with early school mornings, and practical ways to build movement and healthy sleep routines that children will actually maintain.Be sure to tune in because this episode offers realistic strategies grounded in neuroscience that can improve emotional well-being one small habit at a time.Within the Anxiety Compass Framework, many emotional struggles are better understood as capacity limitations rather than skill deficits. When children are chronically sleep-deprived or inactive, expecting strong emotional regulation becomes unrealistic. Supporting the brain through regulation-first habits creates the conditions where learning, coping, and resilience become much more accessible.Homework Activities1.

In this episode, Dr. K tackles the age-old internet debate: Can men and women really be friends? He explores the specific emotional skill set required to maintain platonic boundaries, dives into the evolutionary biology of how men and women misinterpret signals, and breaks down the most common route to romance—the friends-to-lovers pathway. What to expect in this episode: The Emotional Regulation of Love: Why we need to treat love and attraction like anger or sadness—as an emotion that can be managed, discussed, and regulated rather than a force that must dictate your actions. The Dopamine Fade: Understanding that the initial "spark" of attraction is just a dopamine response that naturally wanes, and why sustainable long-term connections require adding oxytocin (bonding) and shared sacrifice. Platonic Boundaries: Practical strategies for maintaining cross-sex friendships without fostering romantic feelings, such as choosing lunch over dinner, limiting alcohol, and integrating partners into hangouts. Error Management Theory: A look at the ancestral biology explaining why men are mathematically wired to overestimate a woman's romantic interest to avoid missing a mating opportunity, while women naturally underestimate a man's interest to test his actual commitment. The Friends-to-Lovers Pathway: Why over two-thirds of romantic relationships start organically as friendships, often lasting an average of 22 months before transitioning into dating. The Dating "Job Interview": How modern dating forces us to assess a stranger's finances, values, and life goals upfront, creating a sterile "interview" process that inherently kills the romantic spark. Escaping the Friend Zone: Why trying to win someone over by investing heavily in the relationship (e.g., buying flowers, picking them up from the airport) rarely changes their mind if they don't already view you as a datable option. Becoming Datable: The realization that crossing the bridge from friend to romantic partner requires investing time into yourself—such as hitting the gym, building ambition, or "looksmaxxing"—to become someone people naturally find attractive.

Have you ever felt like one small thing turned into ten different emotions before you even knew what happened?In this episode, Xannie, Solène, Madhurima and Dan continue their conversation on emotional lability and go deep into what has actually helped them regulate their emotions instead of getting swept away by them. They talk through the skills, mindsets, and reframes that took years to build, including a metaphor for emotions as delivery drivers that keep showing up until you actually open the package.This one gets into checking the facts versus running with interpretations, why distraction is only useful short term, what “not caring” actually means in practice, and why grief doesn't always show up on schedule.Topics include:* BPD and emotional regulation* Emotional lability in BPD* Wise mind and DBT skills* Checking the facts* Rumination and BPD* Fear of abandonment* Sitting with uncomfortable emotions* BPD recovery and healthier reactionsIf you've ever felt like your emotions were driving your life instead of the other way around, this episode is for you.This season, we're discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). To meet criteria for BPD in this model, a person must have difficulties in at least two areas of personality functioning (Criterion A): identity, self direction, empathy, or intimacy, along with four or more pathological personality traits (Criterion B): emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, and depressivity (which are sub-traits of negative affectivity), impulsivity and risk taking (sub-traits of disinhibition), and hostility (a sub-trait of antagonism).In the first two episodes of the season, Dr. Carla Sharp, Dr. Frank Yeomans, and Dr. Alex Stein explain what the AMPD is, how it changes from the current categorical model, and how the BPD diagnosis is changing.

Key Takeaways: Understand Market Emotions: Markets often move between fear and greed. Learning to recognize these emotional cycles can help you make better investment decisions instead of reacting to the crowd. Bitcoin as an Alternative Financial System: Some investors view Bitcoin as a more predictable financial system than traditional currencies because it follows fixed rules and has a limited supply. Stay Emotionally Balanced: Habits like meditation, journaling, and walking can help you stay calm during market swings, making it easier to think clearly and avoid emotional decisions. Use Tools to Stay Objective: Valuation tools and market indicators can help you understand when emotions may be driving prices, allowing you to make more thoughtful investment choices. Clear Communication Leads to Better Decisions: The way we talk about money shapes how we think about it. Using clear, simple language makes it easier to understand complex financial ideas and build sound investment strategies.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Mastering Emotional Cycles for Successful Investing 2:15 Bitcoin and Property Rights as Universal Attractors of Wealth 4:51 Expanding Wealth Beyond Political Divisions 5:53 The Impact of Currency Devaluation on Investment and Society 9:45 Understanding Fear and Greed in Insurance and Bitcoin Markets 13:17 Understanding Human Instincts and Emotional Regulation in Investing 17:08 Balancing Market Volatility and Social Media's Negative Influence 22:52 Balancing Financial Anxiety with Mindfulness and Empathy 28:10 Balancing Inner Peace and the Beast Within   Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Your brilliant kid can't get out the door in the morning, falls apart over homework, and goes from fine to completely overwhelmed in seconds. You want to help them out, but it feels like you've tried everything and nothing sticks.

What if the clue to an ADHD diagnosis was making a different tiny mistake every night on stage? John Garden is a therapist and professional musician. He shares how years of strong emotional reactions, rage quitting, boredom with repetition, and feeling like a failure eventually led to an ADHD diagnosis. The conversation explores emotional regulation, inattention to detail, perfectionism, and the hidden ways ADHD can show up. It also highlights how ADHD realizations are often not a single lightning-bolt moment. More often, they come from years of experiences that slowly add up until everything starts to make sense.

That thought you can't stop replaying isn't just annoying. It quietly shapes how you walk into meetings, how you speak under pressure, and how safe other people feel around you. Susan Drumm, bestselling author of The Leader's Playlist and founder of Meritage Leadership, joins me to unpack a powerful idea: every leader has a playlist. Some of it is literal music that shifts your energy fast. Some of it is the internal soundtrack of beliefs, doubts, old wounds, and reflex reactions that can end up leading on your behalf.We dig into pattern recognition and pattern disruption, from Susan's own unlikely career pivots to the everyday leadership traps of sunk cost fallacy and social expectation. We also get specific about the inner critic and imposter syndrome, including how to create separation from that voice so it stops acting like the only truth in the room. Susan brings nuance too: this isn't about suppressing anger, grief, or frustration. Emotions carry information, like anger signaling a crossed boundary. The goal is to feel what's real without getting stuck in an eight-lane neural highway that keeps pulling you back into resentment or self-doubt.Then we make it practical. Susan shares how music can act as a “pattern interrupt,” why it has such a strong neuroscience effect, and how leaders can build intentional playlists tied to new “I am” or “I create” identity statements. You'll hear a workplace example of a leader stuck in the story “I am left out” and how shifting state, attention, and behavior changes collaboration outcomes over time. If you want to lead with more emotional regulation, presence, and intention, this will give you a concrete starting point. Subscribe, share with a leader who needs a reset, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

That's the “emotional gut punch.” And if you're in one of those moments right now, this episode is here to help you steady yourself—without minimizing your pain and without turning it into a story that ruins you.In this episode, Tina covers:When someone you love hurts you, there's the pain of what happened… and then there's the suffering we accidentally add on top of it. Tina breaks down the difference between the first arrow and the second arrow—the moment that hurts vs. the meaning we attach to it afterward.You'll hear real-life examples (like seeing an adult child post about “toxic family members” or being told not to come for a visit) and how quickly our brains can turn heartbreak into shame, fear, and isolation.5 takeaways you'll get from listeningYou'll understand why it hurts so much.The pain is real—but suffering often comes from the story your mind builds around the pain (the spiraling “what does this mean about me?” thoughts).You'll learn “the second arrow” and how to stop driving it in deeper.The first arrow is the event; the second arrow is the self-judgment and fear that piles on instantly—often without you noticing.You'll be able to tell the difference between clean pain and dirty pain.Clean pain is honest grief and disappointment. Dirty pain is the added shame/blame story (“This is my fault. I'm not enough.”) that keeps you stuck.You'll get a simple, grounding 3-step reset for the moment the gut punch hits.Tina walks you through: Name it → Notice the story → Let the clean pain move (so you can breathe again and come back to yourself).You'll be reminded not to isolate—because isolation is where the suffering grows.These moments make us want to withdraw, but they're often the moments we most need safe support and steady presence.Resources mentionedFree resource: Heal the Heart: Five Steps to Reconnect with Your Adult ChildWant deeper support?

You can't think your way into being a good parent. You heal your way there. Dr. Shefali Tsabary, the pioneer of the conscious parenting movement, has sat across from Lewis before, but this conversation lands at a moment that feels different. The world your kids are growing up in has changed, and so has what they need from you. She walks through what is really happening to a generation raised by algorithms, why boys and girls get hijacked in completely different ways, what waits for any boy left uninitiated, and the quiet trap set for every parent who swore they would do it differently than their own. There is a blueprint underneath all of it. Pillars for raising a daughter who keeps her voice and her boundaries. A plan for a son no one is showing how to become a man. And a harder question sitting beneath the whole thing: are you raising a human being, or a human doing? If you have young kids, parts of this will rattle you.
