Podcasts about emotional resilience

Episode #127. This week, I'm joined by the multi-talented Amy Wilson—writer, actor, and co-host of the hit podcast What Fresh Hell. We talk about the invisible weight of being the “helpful one,” the push-pull of people-pleasing, and why creativity can't live in the leftovers of our time. Amy shares the real story behind her new book Happy to Help—a funny, thoughtful collection of essays for anyone who's ever stayed too long, tried too hard, or ignored their own needs. We dive into what happens when we try to fix everything—until we can't. We talk boundaries, burnout, and the power of giving yourself permission to write messy, live messy, and be okay with not having it all figured out. If you've been waiting for permission to make space for your creativity, your joy, and your voice—this is it. Take a walk, grab a puzzle, and let this conversation remind you: your time matters too.

Episode 2661: Allison Carmen explores how teaching children emotional resilience can empower them to face adversity without becoming overwhelmed by fear or despair. By guiding kids to understand that challenges don't define their future and that they can still be okay, parents can cultivate a mindset of hope, adaptability, and inner strength. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/teaching-children-that-when-bad-things-happen-they-still-can-be-okay/ Quotes to ponder: "When we teach our children that they are okay even when life does not go as planned, we empower them to move forward with courage, curiosity and hope." "Sometimes life will bring painful events, but that doesn't mean our whole world is lost or that we are not okay." "The greatest gift we can give our children is the ability to find peace and strength in themselves regardless of life's circumstances." Learn more about your ad choices.

Send me a text!Empathy isn't the problem—but lately, some voices claim that it is, arguing that empathy leads to irrational decisions or even “civilizational suicide.” If you're someone who cares deeply, you probably reject the idea that empathy is a threat to society.

Your thoughts are not enemies to overcome—they're invitations to understand, reflect, and co-create. In this episode, we explore strategies to appreciate your thinking process by cultivating curiosity, accessing heart wisdom, and creating a sense of calm that allows your inner guidance to speak more clearly. It's not about controlling every thought but about recognizing the gifts within them. We also share how an attitude of gratitude can cast a mystical light on your thoughts, transforming how you perceive and respond to life. By trusting yourself and embracing your role as a conscious co-creator, you begin to see your thoughts not as obstacles, but as allies in the unfolding of your path.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

Msg me "ACADEMY"   for details on Your BINGE FREE Life Academy where you get  personalized coaching & mentorship to becoming BINGE FREE for life.In this episode, I'm bringing on a special guest, Christine, who's been a powerhouse in her own transformation journey inside the Academy. From battling binge eating to embracing her intuition, boundaries, and self-love, Christine went from struggling with obsessing over what she was eating, using food for comfort when emotions hit to becoming empowered, grounded, and fully committed to a life where she is in the driver seat, not food.Christine shares her journey of going from the membership to the Academy, where she gained not only control over her relationship with food but also deeper insights into herself. This journey wasn't just about food, it's been about learning to listen to her body, set boundaries, and show up for herself in every area of her life. We talk about how she was able to normalize foods she once binged on (she had dried mangos in her pantry for 8 months and completely forgot that they were even there) and how she built a sustainable lifestyle that feels effortless and empowering.Key Takeaways:How committing to long-term growth leads to lasting transformation in your relationship with food.The power of trusting your intuition to make decisions that align with your true self.Why setting boundaries is key to emotional freedom and overcoming self-destructive behaviuors.How food becomes effortless when you stop seeing it as “good” or “bad” and instead tune into what your body needs.Real-life stories of how Christine was able to move beyond binge eating and become the confident, grounded woman she is today. She says "the best project I'll ever work on is myself"

Welcome to episode 212 where we talk about 'Making Sense of Mind Chatter'. Ever feel like your brain just won't stop talking? That constant swirl of thoughts—whether it's fear, doubt, self-criticism, or overwhelm—is what I like to call mind chatter. In this episode, I break down that chatter into three distinct voices: the sleepy sloth, the yappy dog, and the wise owl. Each one has something to say—and believe it or not, they all matter. Together, we explore how to identify which voice is speaking up in your mind, how each one feels, and how to respond with more clarity and confidence. You'll learn that none of these thoughts make you broken or weak—it just means you're human. And by recognizing these voices instead of reacting to them, you gain more emotional maturity, more peace, and more power to create the mission and life you truly want. Whether you're preparing to serve, currently on your mission, adjusting to post-mission life, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you understand your brain better—and maybe even befriend that noisy mind of yours. 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 episode, I'm sharing some personal field notes from a season when life has been undeniably complex.  From navigating my mom's cancer diagnosis and treatments to unexpected travel hiccups, tech crises, and the temptation to argue with customer service reps, I've been reminded how fear, fatigue, and old patterns can surface — even for those of us deeply rooted in spiritual practice. I talk candidly about leaning on shamanic tools, managing energy as an empath, honoring boundaries, and finding unexpected resilience. I also explore the subtle art of not trying to fix someone else's experience and the seductive pull of righteous indignation when life feels out of control. If you're moving through a challenging time — or simply curious about how shamanic practice weaves into real-life chaos — I hope these reflections offer insight, companionship, and encouragement.

What if success didn't have to come with stress, hustle, and emotional burnout? Performance coach Brandi Hudson joins Melissa Joy to share how high-achievers can shift from chasing external validation to building a life rooted in purpose, clarity, and peace.Brandy introduces her powerful BASE framework—Beliefs, Alignment, Self-Awareness, and Emotional Resilience—a mindset map for those ready to evolve from achievement to mastery. Together, they explore the inner work it takes to untangle limiting beliefs, align your desires with your emotions, and build true emotional resilience so that success actually feels successful.This conversation is for the doers, the leaders, the “check-the-box” professionals who suspect there's more waiting on the other side of the hustle.

Emotional resilience is one of the most powerful skills you can develop as a mom - and let's be honest, it's also one of the hardest to master.   From toddler tantrums to teen drama, from work stress to family dynamics… there's no shortage of moments that can leave you feeling stretched thin and emotionally spent. And there's no season that tests this quite like summer, when the routines are loose, the noise is constant, and everyone seems to need something from you all day long. That's why I'm re-airing this powerful conversation with Dr. Jen Riday, a mom of six with a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies and host of the Vibrant Happy Women podcast. Jen combines research-backed wisdom with real-life experience to help women build emotional resilience... and the healthy boundaries that make it possible. Because here's the truth: You can't be emotionally resilient without boundaries. Boundaries aren't about controlling others, they're about protecting your peace. Learning to say, “This is what I will do to care for myself,” is one of the most courageous and transformative skills you can develop as a mom. In this episode, you'll learn:

If you care about truth, dignity, and protecting the future of women's sports, you don't want to miss this conversation. Episode Highlights: freedom, cancel culture, women's rights, biological reality, COVID awakening, gender ideology, speaking out, brand building, social pressure, censorship, parenting, dignity, community Takeaways: Jen's first moment of dissent in 2008 and how it shaped her Why COVID lockdowns triggered a second awakening for her The personal cost of speaking out against institutional lies How XXXY Athletics is more than just a clothing brand Why brands have the power to shape culture The difference between belief, delusion, and propaganda How we can empower the silent majority to speak up   If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

This one's raw, real, and redemption-filled. In this Sovereign Session of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Chris Throssell—a real estate agent turned sober coach who hit rock bottom and lived to rebuild. From isolating with cocaine and booze in his basement to finding his way into treatment and launching a coaching program for entrepreneurial men, Chris's story is a masterclass in taking your power back. Chris opens up about the exact moment he wanted his life to end, how a single act of vulnerability changed everything, and what it really takes to stay clean in a world designed for addiction.

Now 3+ years sober, Chris is helping other men do the same through his “6 Weeks to Sober” program.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger talks about the invisible load of anxiety, stress, and self-imposed pressure that high-achieving women often carry under their calm and capable exteriors. What the world sees as strength hides exhaustion from trying to stay ahead of anxiety by never sitting still. Cindy breaks down how to recognize when constant busyness is a coping mechanism, how to separate stress from anxiety, and the key to reclaiming control over mind, body, and career. While from the outside we may appear superhuman by being perpetually in motion, that relentless busyness often masks deep-seated anxiety. Our culture has instructed us that the goal is to have it all together, to operate at a high level under pressure. But what about the unseen anxiety that exterior composure hides? Cindy names three steps to breaking the anxiety loop: 1) Get curious about symptoms, 2) Separate sensation from fear, and 3) Practice sitting with discomfort. Feeling stressed or anxious is not a sign we're broken. Discomfort doesn't mean we're failing. Cindy encourages us to get familiar with our body signals in order to remove the fear and take back our power. She teaches us about awareness, how to override our stress responses, and the power of redirecting past or future worry back to the present moment. Cindy explores how we can learn to find moments of true presence and how to show up intentionally so anxiety is not running the show. Her guidance helps to identify anxiety for what it is and demystify it so we can get comfortable in our own skin and embrace stillness.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Recognizing When You're Masking AnxietyAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Have you ever asked yourself: When was the last time I stepped outside my comfort zone? How do I make sure I'm intentionally setting a positive example for my kids? Am I encouraging my children to take extra steps? In an era dominated by online interactions and instant applications, it's easy to think that old-fashioned manners and direct communication have become obsolete. But as this episode of The Dad Edge reveals, those little “extra” steps are exactly what set people apart—in job interviews, difficult situations, and life in general Today, Ethan Hagner recounts his journey to land a summer job—not just sending in online applications, but suiting up, showing up in person, introducing himself, and even dropping off a thank-you note after a surprise interview.  As Larry points out, these simple, direct actions are the "gold" from previous generations—habits that build character and open doors Ethan Hagner also teases out how small acts of empathy and presence, learned in everyday family life, are already preparing him for bigger moments—like shadowing firefighters and helping his injured dad. The episode underscores the importance of empathy, remaining calm under pressure, and showing up wholeheartedly—in family crises, career moments, and daily interactions. As Larry puts it, “Control the controllables”—focus on what you can do, and do it with intention. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital episode, we dig into: Old-School Gold for the Next Generation: Larry reflects on the lost art of face-to-face interactions, handshakes, and eye contact, and how these “little” things are game-changers in both personal and professional life. Ethan chimes in with stories from his own journey, showing just how powerful simple, intentional actions can be. Handling Life's Dark and Difficult Moments: Ethan opens up about shadowing at the local fire department and preparing to face tough situations as a future firefighter. With honest talk about nervousness and empathy, the guys highlight how staying calm, focused, and supportive in chaos is a true superpower. Larry recounts a recent accident and how Ethan's steady approach driving him to the hospital—in the middle of nowhere, no cell signal, potholes galore—proved his grit and composure. Bringing Back Legendary Manners: There's a clear call to action here: Dads, let's teach (and model) the old-school habits that make a difference—shaking hands, making eye contact, showing up, following through, and, yes, even thank you notes. These are the moves that open doors and build relationships for life. This episode offers powerful stories, practical advice, and the reminder to always lead by example. Get ready for insights and encouragement to help you create the legacy you want for your family. www.thedadedge.com/mastermind www.1stphorm.com/products/1st-phorm-energy  

In this episode, Dr. Danielle McArdle reflects on what it really took to become the version of herself she always imagined.

We talk about the real work of finding your people, navigating difficult advisor relationships, and learning how to trust your voice. This conversation is a reminder that you are not here just to earn a degree. You are here to become the kind of scholar and leader you always knew you could be.

In this episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with Dr. Robin Hills, founder of EI4Change and a global thought leader in emotional intelligence. From his early career in pharmaceuticals to building a digital platform with over 500,000 students across 200+ countries, Robin shares how emotional intelligence—once a mystery to him—became his life's work. The conversation covers everything from emotional regulation and workplace behavior to the neuroscience behind EQ and practical ways to build it. If you've ever wondered why intelligent people struggle with relationships or leadership—or how to better manage your own emotions under stress—this episode offers clear, science-backed answers. Robin's insights are not just theoretical; they're rooted in real-world application and made accessible to anyone. Whether you're a leader, coach, or just someone who wants to stop reacting and start responding, this conversation is for you. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is Trainable – Unlike IQ, EQ can grow with effort, even into your 70s. Anger is Often a Signal of Violated Values – Recognizing this can turn outbursts into constructive conversations. Mobile Devices Are Killing Situational Awareness – EQ begins with being present. Motivation Is the Missing Middle in the EQ Model – Without it, self-awareness and social skills fall flat. Smart People Can Lack EQ – And often unknowingly sabotage their influence. High EQ Leaders Inspire Loyalty – People follow emotionally intelligent leaders, not just intelligent ones. Use “I Feel” Statements – Emotions can't be argued with; judgments can. Self-Awareness Starts with Daily Habits – Like avoiding your phone until after breakfast. The Best Leaders Coach, Not Command – Questions build connection; instructions don't. EQ in the Age of AI Is More Important Than Ever – Human skills like empathy and emotional regulation will differentiate us. 00:00–07:00 | Intro & Robin's Background 07:00–13:00 | Early Career & Discovery of Emotional Intelligence 13:00–17:00 | Starting EI4Change & The Power of Niche Focus 17:00–21:00 | IQ vs. EQ—Why One is Fixed and the Other is Fluid 21:00–26:00 | Can Low-EQ Leaders Still Succeed? 26:00–31:00 | Smart People & the Phone Addiction Problem 31:00–37:00 | Technology, Dopamine, and Relationship Erosion 37:00–42:00 | The Emotion That Causes the Most Trouble at Work 42:00–47:00 | How to Regulate Anger and Build Healthier Relationships 47:00–52:00 | The EQ Spectrum & Unconscious Competence 52:00–54:00 | Practical EQ Habits & Where to Learn More EI4Change Website Robin's Courses Free Course: Insights into Emotional Intelligence (via link above) Monthly Coaching Bundle (mentioned: June 2025 focus is on coaching)

Are you unconsciously giving away your power? In this episode, we dive into the subtle ways we may fall into people-pleasing, follow others' agendas, or seek external validation—often at the cost of our own truth.

This conversation dives deep into the role mindset plays in autoimmune healing and overall life transformation. Kaylor opens up about how subconscious programming, victimhood, and perfectionism keep people stuck in cycles of illness, and why radical self-awareness is the first step to freedom.

In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we're sitting down with Paul Cooke—a writer, academic, and former cult member who spent nine years in the Children of God, a group he later recognized as dangerously manipulative and deceptive. After a 40-year journey of reflection, healing, and writing, Paul recently completed a memoir about his experience and now shares his story to help others recognize how easily any of us can be misled under the right conditions. This conversation isn't just about cults—it's about clarity, courage, and reclaiming trust in your own discernment. Whether it's a relationship, belief system, organization, or opportunity that turns out to be something different than you thought, Paul's story offers timeless, hard-won lessons that can help you avoid the emotional toll of misplaced trust.   IN THIS EPISODE: The subtle tactics that made a well-intentioned young man give up everything to join a cult How even smart, faith-driven people can get misled, and how to spot the red flags of deception and control to protect yourself The emotional toll of breaking free from a high-control group or relationship and how to start healing Why "trust but verify" is critical in making sound judgements What NOT to do when someone you love gets caught up in something destructive How manipulation works in everyday life (not just cults) and how to protect your confidence and clarity How real love, community, and grace helped Paul reclaim his freedom and confidence   A FEW GOLDEN NUGGETS; Don't assume you're above being manipulated: Anyone can be vulnerable to deception and manipulation, especially during times of pain, transition, or isolation. Stay vigilant, ask questions, and seek trusted counsel before making major commitments. Distance can create space for clarity: Sometimes the best thing you can do is step back. Time away from group ideologies, influence, or pressure can restore your confidence in your own resoning and values.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores the idea that our emotions are not just reactions to what happens around us, but are conscious and intentional choices we have control over. If we don't consciously choose how to feel, we leave it to chance and find ourselves at the whim of spiralling emotions. Cindy proposes steering away from fear as our default and instead setting intentions for our emotions to learn how to anticipate best-case scenarios instead of worst-case ones. Instead of our emotions being at the mercy of our surroundings, we can instruct ourselves on how to feel. We believe that choosing how we feel means ignoring real problems and pretending everything is fine. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Cindy is clear that choosing our emotions is not about fake positivity or just gritting our teeth through the bad times, it's about claiming ownership over our internal experience. So, how do we do that? By intentionally choosing what we want to feel and setting an emotional anchor for whatever situation arises. Cindy shares four practical strategies to help us take control of our emotions: 1) Start each day by consciously choosing how we want to feel, 2) Reframe fear and criticism immediately, 3) Counter every worst-case scenario with a best-case, and 4) Use intentional compartmentalization. By deciding how we'll feel, we learn to avoid our brain's default setting of predicting danger. Choosing how to feel is a power move, not wishful thinking. Cindy's advice gives us the groundwork we need to start taking control of our emotions.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Not Leaving It To ChanceAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

In this episode, I sit down with Derek Lakin, a mindfulness teacher and Awareness Guide whose journey from deep depression to emotional resilience is nothing short of powerful. Derek opens up about the moment he nearly ended his life, and how a last-minute suggestion from his therapist led him to try ketamine therapy. But what truly transformed his life wasn't just the treatment—it was the years of mindfulness practice that allowed him to receive its lessons, integrate emotional tools, and slowly rebuild a sense of self-worth, presence, and purpose. We explore what it really means to meet yourself where you are, especially when anxiety, shame, or disconnection make that feel nearly impossible. Derek shares how practical mindfulness practices helped him stay grounded, begin to trust life again, and ultimately teach others to do the same. If you've ever struggled to just “be” with your emotions, or you're looking for tools that go deeper than surface-level advice, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and a way forward. Three Key Takeaways 1.      The most powerful shifts often start with one uncomfortable moment of stillness. 2.      Healing isn't about striving—it's about learning to listen differently to what's already inside you. 3.      There are tools that can help you feel grounded, even when life feels completely untethered.   The moment we stop trying to escape discomfort  is the moment  we start accessing  real power.     To contact Derek:  https://www.mindfulnesschangeslives.com/     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

What if your inner chaos is sacred? When I first pictured a yogi, I imagined someone always calm, serene… maybe even a little untouchable. But the more I've learned—through somatics, spirituality, and lived experience—the more I believe that true healing means feeling everything. Even rage. In this episode, we dive deep into:

Ever wonder how you'll ever stop people-pleasing and say yes to yourself instead? This episode is for you! Set small boundaries first. Start with low-stakes situations to practice saying no or expressing your preferences. For example, choosing the restaurant when asked, or declining a small favor when you're genuinely busy. These smaller moments build your confidence for bigger boundary-setting situations.Pause before automatically agreeing. When someone asks something of you, try responding with "Let me check my schedule and get back to you" or "I need to think about that." This brief delay gives you space to consider what you actually want to do rather than reflexively saying yes to avoid disappointing someone.Remember that disappointment isn't dangerous. People-pleasers often fear others' negative reactions, but someone being temporarily disappointed or mildly upset doesn't mean you've done something wrong or that the relationship is in jeopardy. Most healthy relationships can handle occasional "no" responses, and those that can't may need reevaluation.Notice your internal warning signs. Pay attention to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, or anxiety that often accompany over-committing. These emotions are signals that you're stretching yourself too thin to accommodate others. When you catch these feelings early, you can course-correct before burning out.Practice stating your needs directly. Instead of hinting or hoping others will guess what you want, try expressing yourself clearly. Say "I'd prefer to meet at 2 PM" rather than "Whatever time works for you is fine." Direct communication often leads to better outcomes and reduces the mental energy spent on trying to read between the lines.The key is building these skills gradually. People-pleasing patterns developed over time, so changing them takes patience and consistent practice. Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator? Take The Confidence Cocktail Assessment: https://karenlaos.com/confidence-cocktail-fb/Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.lpages.co/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I'm joined by a brilliant coach and nervous system educator Sarah Hall, whose compassionate approach to stress and productivity has helped so many women feel more calm, clear, and in control. I am proud to say she is also a former client of mine and so delighted to share her wisdom with you!  In this episode Sarah shares some of her favorite takeaways from our private life coaching together. And we talk about the transformative power of life coaching, particularly in managing stress and integrating personal and professional lives.  Sarah introduces the concept of an intentional stress mindset—a way of working with your nervous system, instead of against it. We explore how our stress responses are often shaped by patterns we don't even realize we're in, and how simple shifts in awareness and preparation can dramatically change our experience. You'll hear us talk about the three core nervous system states—mobilized, shut down, and safe—and how to recognize which one you're in. Sarah also shares how to access what she calls “glimmers,” or moments of calm and connection that help support your body and mind even in high-pressure seasons. This conversation is full of insight, but also deeply grounding. It offers a new lens for understanding your stress—not as something to avoid, but something to understand, and eventually, support. Listen in to learn more about: The three nervous system states: safety, mobilization, and shutdown Four intentional stress mindsets and how they reframe your relationship with pressure How preparation supports your nervous system before overwhelm sets in What “glimmers” are and how to identify them in everyday life Why regulating stress starts with tuning in, not powering through The difference between avoiding stress and integrating it Highlights -   00:00 Introduction to Life Coaching and Stress Management 02:01 Integration of Personal and Professional Life 06:50 The Power of Guided Meditations 10:41 Building Confidence and Following Nudges 12:41 Navigating Life's Challenges 18:36 The Importance of Resilience 22:52 Exploring Time Hacking and Productivity 23:51 Understanding the Role of the Mind in Time Management 34:15 Recognizing Gains in Relationships 35:12 Intentional Stress Mindset 36:12 Understanding Stress Cycles 38:35 Mindset for Managing Stress 40:46 Normalizing Dysregulation 42:19 Identifying Nervous System States 47:19 Supporting and Regulating Yourself 49:56 Proactive Nervous System Support 54:09 Glimmers and Micro Moments 57:42 Following Your Nudges
