Podcasts about emotions

Vous avez l'impression de toujours courir après “plus” sans jamais vraiment profiter de ce que vous avez déjà ?Et si le problème n'était pas votre ambition… mais votre incapacité à apprécier ?Dans cet épisode, on parle d'un levier souvent négligé du développement personnel : l'appréciation.Pas la gratitude telle qu'on l'entend habituellement, mais cette capacité très concrète à reconnaître, et ressentir, la valeur de ce qui est déjà là dans votre vie.Parce que sans cette étape, vous risquez de passer à côté de ce que vous cherchez depuis le début.Vous découvrirez :Pourquoi votre cerveau vous pousse naturellement à ignorer ce qui va bienEn quoi apprécier ce que vous avez change radicalement votre rapport à vos objectifsComment utiliser la pratique du “J'adore ma vie” pour créer plus de satisfaction… dès aujourd'huiCe que cet épisode propose, c'est un changement de posture subtil mais puissant : passer d'une énergie de manque (“ce n'est pas assez”) à une énergie d'élan (“j'aime déjà ma vie, et j'ai envie d'explorer encore”).C'est ce basculement qui rend votre vie à la fois plus pleine… et plus expansive.Vous pouvez aussi :

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Liz Tenuto to break down somatic healing and the role your body plays in storing stress and trauma. They discuss how the nervous system operates, why many people are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, and how that leads to repeated patterns and self-sabotage.Liz explains why talk therapy alone often isn't enough, how somatic exercises help release stored tension, and what it actually takes to regulate your nervous system. If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles or reactions, this episode gives you a practical framework for understanding — and changing — what's happening in your body.Learn more about Liz: https://www.instagram.com/theworkoutwitch_/?hl=en

Hey Heal Squad! You've heard us say it before: our bodies hold onto more than we realize. But what if some of that stress and trauma is stored in places you'd never expect…like your jaw? Today, Maria is  with Human Garage co-founder Garry Lineham to explore the powerful connection between fascia, trauma, tension, and self-healing. Garry shares the origins of Human Garage and how decades of chronic pain, and reliance on constant treatments, led him to a breakthrough: simple, targeted fascial maneuvers that help people support their bodies on their own. He also breaks down the viral moment we've all seen with LeAnn Rimes, and what was really happening during that emotional jaw release. According to Garry, that moment wasn't random, it was the body finally letting go of long-held tension and stress. You'll also understand why jaw tension can impact your entire body, why fascia may play a role in storing trauma, and how releasing that tension can create powerful shifts, emotionally, physically and in LeAnn's case… vocally. Maria and Garry also discuss the idea that chronic dehydration may be playing a bigger role in our health than we think. This episode is eye-opening, thought-provoking, and definitely conversation-starting. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your body holds onto stress longer than your mind does:  Even when you've processed something mentally, your fascia and physical tension patterns may still be carrying it. That tight jaw might be doing more than you think: Jaw tension can signal your body is in a constant state of bracing, impacting posture, stress levels, and overall alignment. You can be drinking plenty of water and still feel dehydrated. Garry proposes this could be linked to how the body holds and distributes fluids, including the role of fascia.

Together, they explore how unresolved energies—from this life, past lives, and ancestral patterns—can quietly shape our emotions, health, and behaviors, often without us realizing it. If you've ever felt stuck, heavy, or disconnected, this episode reveals what may actually be beneath the surface.Blending deep spiritual insight with grounded understanding, Eva explains why lasting transformation doesn't come from “thinking positive,” but from clearing the energy field and allowing higher-frequency light to flow through. You'll learn how symptoms can originate energetically before becoming physical, why intuition is more powerful than analysis, and how reconnecting with your natural state can shift everything. The episode culminates in a live energy transmission designed to help you release what's been holding you back and reconnect with a deeper sense of peace, clarity, and freedom.Guest Biography:Eva Müller is a spiritual teacher and healer who guides others on the path to awakening and inner transformation. Despite outward success in areas like law, travel, and career, she experienced a deep sense of emptiness that led her to seek something more meaningful. Her journey shifted profoundly after a powerful meditation experience that brought her into a state of pure peace, clarity, and freedom—sparking years of dedicated spiritual practice and exploration of higher states of consciousness, including Self-Realization, Unity Consciousness, and beyond.

Joe Hudson returns to explore a deeper layer of the inner work, and why peace alone is not the full picture of being human. We unpack the distinction between awakening in the mind and awakening in the heart, and how many people use meditation and awareness as a way to find calm, while still avoiding the emotional depth that brings real connection, intimacy, and joy. Joe shares how positive emotions can actually feel more threatening than negative ones, and why the capacity to feel love is directly tied to our willingness to feel everything else.In this conversation, we walk through Joe's personal journey from early childhood patterns of shame, emotional suppression, and disconnection into years of seeking awakening through meditation. He shares how peace became accessible, but something was still missing until he began to open emotionally and develop the capacity to feel fully. This episode is an invitation to move beyond detachment and into a more complete experience of being human, where joy, intimacy, and love emerge through welcoming every part of ourselves.MUDWTR - Up to 43% off sitewide (and a free frother!)https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]The Way App - Know Thyself listeners get 30 free sessions with Henry ShukmanJust go to http://thewayapp.com/knowtheyself to get begin your journey.Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro01:17 Peace vs. Joy: Two Different Awakenings06:42 Joe's Story: Rebellion, Wounds, and the Stories We Make11:34 The Meditation Obsession and the Awakening That Changed Everything20:00 From Peace to Fully Human: The Heart Journey Begins27:24 When Peace Becomes Bypassing: The Call to Feel28:27 Ad: Mud/Wtr29:46 The Smoke Signals of Emotional Suppression38:23 Overthinking, Fear, and the Emotions Behind Every Decision43:39 Commitment, the Self-Reliant Pattern, and Relationship Dynamics49:38 Ad: The Way App50:58 The Chasing and Being Chased Dynamic in Love1:00:35 Joy Is the Matriarch — and Anger Is a Child Too1:03:18 Turning Toward the World as the Real Path of Growth1:10:33 What Are We Really Searching For?1:14:02 Living Your Calling: Purpose, Surrender, and Doing What You Love1:25:03 AI, Societal Transformation, and the Edge of Wisdom1:31:25 Vagal Authority and the Emotional Order of Operations1:40:46 Joe Coaches André Live: Perfectionism, Self-Reliance, and Vulnerability1:55:26 Dropping the Identity of Being Spiritual1:59:11 We All Want to Be Seen___________Episode Resources: https://www.instagram.com/joehudson_aoa/https://www.artofaccomplishment.com/abouthttps://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

I had the opportunity to chat with therapist and author Eli Harwood about the messy, beautiful journey of parenting. Eli emphasizes the importance of focusing on our side of the parent-child relationship. It's not about blaming ourselves for our children's struggles, but rather about leveraging our emotions and experiences to enhance our connection with them. Parenting, Eli articulates, raises parents as much as it does children, and it's vital to approach our personal growth with compassion. Eli shared the five gifts from a secure parent—offering a glimpse into what important standards we can aim for as parents. We discussed how our emotional baggage can sometimes interfere with these gifts, but by understanding our patterns, like people-pleasing or perfectionism, we can grow and better support our kids.

368 Handling Big Mom Emotions In this powerful and deeply validating episode, Colleen O'Grady talks with returning guest Eli Harwood, licensed therapist, attachment expert, bestselling author, and founder of Attachment Nerd. Eli shares insights from her new book, How to Deal with Your ______ So Your Kids Don't Have To, and helps moms understand why their own emotions matter so much in parenting. Together, Colleen and Eli explore how feelings like anger, anxiety, loneliness, judgment, and control can quietly shape the way we show up with our tweens, teens, and young adults. Eli explains that parenting doesn't just shape our kids—it also sharpens and develops us. She offers a compassionate framework for understanding our emotional habits, attachment patterns, and the ways our own childhood experiences can affect our parenting today. This conversation is full of hope, practical wisdom, and powerful reminders that you do not have to be a perfect mom to create a secure, connected relationship with your child. What matters most is your willingness to reflect, repair, and keep growing. 3 Takeaways from the Episode Your emotions matter more than you think. The way you handle your own feelings teaches your teen how to handle theirs. Control can cost connection. When moms parent from fear and control, it often creates more distance instead of influence. Repair is more powerful than perfection. You don't have to get it right all the time—what matters most is coming back, owning it, and reconnecting.

Temptation Island 2026 Eps 2-4 Recap How easily do you give in to temptation? May we tempt you to tune in to Hot Dummies on Islands?! Maggie Morgan and Kirsten MacInnis to recap every hookup, breakup, and over-the-top moment from the hottest islands on TV. Today, Kirsten and Maggie break down episodes 2 through 4 of the second season, touching on the start of episode 5. As the couples face bonfires, yacht dates, confessions, and high-stress villa life, Kirsten and Maggie dig into messy breakups, trust issues, and the ever-present question—who should really stay together? The conversation focuses on the rollercoaster relationships of Cole & Scarlett, Summit & Kaylee, Mikey & Sydney, and Jack & Cheyenne. Emotions run high as confessions reveal insecurity, dishonesty, and harsh truth bombs, while the infamous Temptation Haven returns to up the stakes. Mark L. Wahlberg offers wisdom (and tough love), while the guys and girls alike struggle to either mend their bonds or let loose in the search for someone new. Kirsten and Maggie zero in on Cole's defensiveness, the “high-value” partner debate, and Scarlett's battle for real emotional connection. Summit's behavior toward Kaylee raises red flags, and Mark L. Wahlberg's reactions add to the tension as the show spotlights body image critiques and toxic advice. Mikey and Sydney's past and present drama comes to light, with Mikey's emotional immaturity and Sydney's budding connection with Xavier laying the groundwork for potential splits. Jack and Cheyenne's codependency, public arguments, and confessions escalate, culminating in a test of boundaries when the Temptation Haven's infamous cheating light returns. The recap highlights juicy bonfire reveals, confessional slip-ups, competitive dating, and producers' tactics pushing villa-mates toward drama. With shifting alliances, emotional showdowns, and trust put to the test, which couple will weather the fire—and who will leave with someone new? Can honest self-reflection outshine old mistakes, or are some couples destined to split for good? Catch all the latest villa drama and strategic relationship analysis—listen now for all the details on which bonds crack, which contestants step up, and which breakups you might just root for.

Human emotions are the essence of what drives most people.     We react and make decisions based on how we feel.    And sometimes they lie to us.    We only know this once we have time to reflect on whether or not we made the right decisions.    Sometimes fear turns to anger and anger to rage.    And other times, we run with the nostaligic feeling of excitement, love, and hope in the better parts of humanity.    We become confident, empowered, and encouraged to acomplish anything.     Many times our emotions take us places we never thought we could be in this lifetime.    And sometimes, our emotions take us completely off course..........   I'll break down why your emotions are lying to you.    Lean in.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Air Date - 08 April 2026For centuries, people have debated, measured, regulated, and theorized about emotion. But no single work has attempted to define the full landscape of everyday emotional states across disciplines — until now. My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, D. Earl Johnston, presents the first fully cross-disciplinary reference that defines 272 emotional states, drawing on 3,000 years of recorded thought in the fields of philosophy, science, linguistics, psychology, art, and spiritual traditions. D. Earl Johnston is a former corporate executive, testifying expert, and world champion sailor. Over a multi-decade career spanning banking, private equity, and litigation consulting, he developed a sustained interest in language, motivation, and emotional definition.His website is https://choosingemotions.com/, and he joins me this week to share his groundbreaking new book, Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart.#DEarlJohnston #VictorFuhrman #DestinationUnlimited #InterviewsConnect with Victor Fuhrman at https://victorthevoice.com/Visit the Destination Unlimited Show Page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/destination-unlimited/Subscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. David Anderson, PhD, a professor of biology at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). We discuss the brain circuits that underlie how emotions emerge and shape behaviors, including the neural control of fear, aggression and pain. We also explore how hormones and neuromodulators influence these emotional states, and why understanding these hidden internal processes is essential for improving future mental health treatments.

"A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." Seth Dahl back for a 5th conversation on DadAwesome. He breaks down what's actually happening when dad loses it and what it takes to change. ✅ Why emotional dysregulation is an identity issue, not just a temper problem ✅ The loaded gun analogy that will change how you think about anger at home ✅ Teen boundaries, the Wyze Phone, and how to give freedom without losing your mind   SUMMARY A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him. That's the hard truth Seth Dahl drops early in this conversation, and it only gets more honest from there. This is a raw, alumni-only Zoom call that turned into something worth sharing with every dad who's ever lost it over something stupid and wondered why.   Takeaways: If you can be triggered, you're identifying with something more than your role as a dad. That's an identity issue, not just a temper issue. Unprocessed emotions don't disappear. They show up as anger, porn, checked-out dads, and kids walking on eggshells. God's model in Genesis wasn't control. It was influence with a boundary. That's the parenting theology most of us are missing. For teenagers, the online world is the living room. Know who they're talking to, just like you would if they came to your house. The Wise Phone gives kids what they need without what gets them in trouble.   GUEST:   Seth Dahl is an author, speaker, grief recovery specialist, and emotional health coach. He and his wife have three kids and have developed a deep framework around completing past emotions, processing present emotions, and shaping future ones. Seth is a longtime friend of DadAwesome and is featured in the DADAWESOME book.   LINKS Text MOM to (651) 370-8618 // or click here Emotionally Skilled Fatherhood Course with Seth Dahl (Interest Form) Wise Phone Radiant Mobile  DADAWESOME Book:dadawesome.org/book Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome 7-Day Video Series: dadawesome.org/book DadAwesome Podcast: dadawesome.org/podcast Free Chapter + Intro Video Series: dadawesome.org/book SETH DAHL

Retreat leaders spend months planning the location, the schedule, the experiences, and the transformations they want their guests to have. But there is one skill that quietly determines whether your retreat truly lands with your audience. Your ability to communicate. In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Hall of Fame speaker Joel Weldon to talk about the powerful role communication plays in the success of retreats - from filling the room to creating deeper breakthroughs for attendees. Joel has been paid to speak at more than 3,000 events and has coached over 10,000 speakers through his Ultimate Speaking System. In this conversation, he shares practical, simple strategies retreat leaders can use to become more confident speakers and more powerful communicators. Because the truth is this: retreat leaders are not just hosts. They are guides, facilitators, teachers, and storytellers. And the more clearly you communicate your message - whether on stage, on social media, or in your marketing - the more your retreats will resonate with the right people. If you want to create deeper connection with your attendees, communicate your message more confidently, and elevate the experience you deliver inside your retreats, this episode is packed with insights you can immediately apply. You'll also hear Shannon and Joel discuss why communication is one of the highest-ROI skills any entrepreneur can develop. As Warren Buffett famously said: "You can improve your value by 50 percent just by learning communication skills and public speaking." For retreat leaders, that improvement can mean fuller retreats, stronger relationships with attendees, and experiences that people talk about long after the retreat ends. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why speaking skills are one of the most important - and often overlooked - skills for retreat leaders • How confident communication helps fill retreats and build trust with your audience • Simple techniques to feel more comfortable when speaking during retreats • How to create stronger emotional connection with retreat attendees • Small speaking tweaks that dramatically improve social media videos and podcast interviews • Why storytelling and authenticity are key to powerful retreat facilitation • How strong communication builds loyalty, referrals, and repeat retreat guests About Joel Weldon Joel Weldon is a Hall of Fame professional speaker and speaking skills coach who has been paid to speak at more than 3,000 events around the world. He is the creator of the Ultimate Speaking System and has coached more than 10,000 speakers, helping entrepreneurs, executives, and thought leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.

What if websites could understand how you feel?In this episode of Future of UX, Patricia talks with Sebastian, Director of UX Design at Virtual Identity, about a concept that could fundamentally change how we design digital experiences: the Empathic Web.Instead of static interfaces that look the same for every user, the empathic web describes a future where digital products can adapt to a user's emotional state in real time. Interfaces, tone of voice, information density, and even entire user journeys could dynamically change depending on whether someone feels stressed, curious, overwhelmed, or motivated.Sebastian shares how advances in AI, behavioral signals, and new interaction models might make this possible and what it means for designers.The conversation also explores the growing role of AI agents in digital products and why designers might soon have to design not only for humans but also for autonomous systems interacting with our products.At the same time, this shift raises important ethical questions. If systems can detect emotions, how should companies use that information responsibly? Where is the line between helpful personalization and manipulation?This episode is a deep dive into the future of UX and how AI could transform the way digital experiences are designed.✨ What the Empathic Web is and why it matters✨ How AI could detect emotions through signals like mouse movement, voice, and interaction patterns✨ Why digital experiences may become dynamic instead of static✨ How designers might start designing for emotional states across the user journey✨ What Agentic UX means and why AI agents will change product design✨ How websites may need to become agent friendly and machine readable✨ Ethical questions around emotional data and manipulation✨ Why learning experiences could be a perfect use case for empathic interfacesSebastian is Director of UX Design at Virtual Identity, a digital agency working across Munich, Freiburg, Vienna, and Porto.Before returning to industry, he spent years in academia as a Professor of Design Management in Berlin, researching the intersection of design, technology, and culture.His current work focuses on the future of UX in an AI driven world, including topics like the Empathic Web, Agentic UX, and AI powered digital experiences.Connect with Sebastian: LinkedInAI for Designers: 5-week Bootcamp

Want to talk about what you heard today? Interact with me and others that understand your experience on the Disordered Community app.https://disordered.fm/community----In this episode, we tackle a common trap: viewing every uncomfortable emotion through the lens of anxiety recovery. When you spend months practicing desensitization, acceptance, tolerance, and exposure, it is easy to mislabel normal human stress as a setback, a relapse, or a recovery problem.Disordered vs. Non-Disordered AnxietyDisordered Anxiety: This is defined by a fear of the internal experience itself. You become afraid of your own symptoms, thoughts, and sensations.Non-Disordered Anxiety: This is a natural response to external stressors like grief, job loss, or relationship conflict. You cannot "float" or "mindfulness" your way out of a legitimate life crisis.The Recovery TrapMany people "hijack" normal human emotions and try to apply recovery techniques to them. Trying to use willful tolerance, acceptance, or principles of exposure on a situation that requires practical action or just feeling emotions only keeps you stuck. We often do this because the recovery framework feels more familiar and safe than facing complex life problems.Moving ForwardCheck the Context: Before assuming you are having a "relapse," look at your life. Are you under actual pressure from work, finances, or family?Validate the Stress: It is expected and healthy to feel stressed by difficult circumstances. This is not a failure of your recovery.Take Action: If the problem is external, it requires a practical solution, not just a psychological one.Accept Your Humanity: There are no "hacks" for being human. Recovery means learning to live with a full range of emotions, not eliminating discomfort.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/341Send in a question or comment via text.Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.   Other ways to support my work like buying a book or signing up for a low cost workshop can be found on my website.  None of this is never required, but always appreciated!

Most entrepreneurs think the next stage of their business requires a better strategy. Dwayne Kerrigan disagrees. In Part 2 of his live keynote at the LeanScaper Operations Intensive in Cape Coral, Florida, he makes the case that what's actually required is a different identity — and that without that shift, no system, tool, or team will get you where you're trying to go. In this episode: Dwayne walks through his personal identity chart — from the "warrior" and "general" identities that ran his life for years, to the consciously designed identities he operates from today, including the Chairman, the Profit Seeker, and the Peak Performance Coach Why the Serenity Prayer became one of the most powerful business tools Dwayne ever learned — and how distinguishing what you can and can't control transformed his leadership at 32 years old, running an $18M business with 300 employees A live identity creation exercise: how to write your own eulogy for a specific business role, and why that process is the starting point for becoming who your business needs you to be The eight stages of the entrepreneur and the business lifecycle — and why understanding exactly where you are in both is critical to knowing which identity needs to show up The four economic seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) and why Dwayne believes the landscaping industry is currently sitting somewhere between late fall and early winter 40 years of lessons learned — distilled into the principles that have shaped how Dwayne builds, leads, and recovers Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Tsunami Of Change 00:27 - Podcast Mission 00:59 - Internal Vs External 02:07 - Serenity Prayer Lesson 03:42 - Identity Chart Origins 04:32 - From Warrior To General 06:10 - Purpose And Marriage 07:47 - Building New Identities 08:48 - Chairman Identity Script 09:50 - Language And Questions 12:38 - Borrowing Role Models 13:41 - Post Fight Debrief 14:40 - Create Your Identity 16:48 - Write Your Eulogy 17:46 - Visualization And Realism 19:01 - Do The Work 19:48 - Physiology Guidelines 20:15 - Physiology and Rituals 20:57 - Energy and Emotions 22:00 - Identity Agent Tool 23:53 - Daily Identity Editing 24:56 - Future Shock and Adaptation 26:22 - Economic Seasons Framework 27:58 - Entrepreneur Stages 29:13 - Business Lifecycle Reality 31:33 - Shift Identity in 3D 31:56 - Courage and Deep Thinking 34:57 - Lessons Learned Log 37:19 - Hard Won Business Rules 40:19 - Final Fear and Farewell Resources Mentioned: Think and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill Stephen Covey — The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey Institute Keith Cunningham — referenced as the "Rich Dad" in Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad Tony Robbins — Date With Destiny, UPW seminars Identity framework AI agent — available at The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast: https://www.dwaynekerrigan.com/identity-framework/Quotes: “You can either be right or you can be rich, but you can't be both.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “I did this for my wife through a lot of pain and self suffering, I had to get to the point where the general just couldn't run the show anymore because it was just not sustainable.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “You don't experience the life that you live.

Seth and Sean assess what's real and what's not in how their emotions about CJ Stroud's offseason have been shaped: the tattoo? the haircut? offseason workouts in California?

Kevin and Josh tackle a question about the place of emotions in the life of the Christian. They talk about how our emotions relate to our affections…three biblical foundations that root our emotional expressions…what proper emotion in worship should look like…whether we are responsible for what we feel…the biblical means for training our emotions…and whether the modern idea of triggering is just emotional manipulation.

This is an authentic and thoughtful conversation about leveraging new tools and ancient wisdom to build resilience, emotional health, and deeper connections—whether you're a longtime believer, just curious, or somewhere in between.Welcome to Spirit of EQ! In this episode, I sit down with Preston Zeller—an inspiring technologist, artist, and committed believer—to explore the fascinating intersection of faith, technology, and emotional intelligence.Preston shares the story behind Psalm Log, an app he created to deliver personalized biblical advice, using AI technology to help people navigate both their spiritual and emotional journeys.Together, we discuss the role artificial intelligence is playing in faith practice today, discussing its ethical implications, potential pitfalls, and how it can actually support reflection and personal growth—no matter your religious background.We also talk about Preston's moving experience with grief and creativity, highlighted by his award-winning documentary, “The Art of Grieving.” Preston reveals how artistic expression can serve as a powerful outlet for healing, and why embracing creativity isn't just for artists, but for anyone seeking to work through life's toughest challenges.Moments04:09 AI-Assisted Journaling for Growth06:22 "Faithful AI Alliance Initiative"12:18 AI Adoption: Categories and Insights15:02 Navigating Uncertainty in Information17:49 "The Value of Authentic Writing"20:30 Sunday Christians and Spiritual Stagnation25:41 "Finding Hope Amid Struggles"29:02 "Psalm Log: Grief in Art"30:52 "Painting Grief into Mosaic"35:46 "Navigating Loss and Connection"36:40 "Grief, Discipline, and Healing"40:19 "Creative Expression for Healing"45:56 "Creativity Opens New Possibilities"47:02 "Grief, Emotions, and Healing"50:37 Approaching Gospel with Nonbelievers55:38 "Less Can Be More"57:07 Faithful AI and Biblical GuidanceHere are 3 key takeaways:AI as a Tool for Reflection & Growth: Preston emphasized that Psalm Log uses AI responsibly to supplement personal and spiritual reflection, not replace it. Technology can facilitate deeper self-awareness and biblical guidance, but it shouldn't override the human side of processing and agency.Creativity & Grief as Catalysts for Healing: Preston's documentary, The Art of Grieving, explores how creativity can be a powerful outlet in navigating loss. Whether through art, music, or journaling, giving emotions their “mic” leads to genuine healing and growth.Inclusivity & Impact Beyond Belief: While Psalm Log is inspired by biblical wisdom, its benefits aren't limited to Christians. Preston noted the app is designed to help anyone—regardless of faith background—find encouragement and tools for emotional wellness.Preston Zeller sits at an unusual intersection: faith-tech founder, growth executive, documentary filmmaker, and abstract artist. As founder of Psalmlog, he's building an AI-powered biblical guidance app that helps believers access relevant Scripture for any life situation—addressing the universal Christian challenge of knowing God's Word has answers but not knowing where to look.His approach is informed by proprietary research with 200+ Christians and 15 years scaling companies from $25M to $300M ARR. As Chief Growth Officer at BatchService, he oversaw the GTM teams, leading to two successful exits. He previously led digital marketing and growth at A Cloud Guru (acquired by Pluralsight for $2B) and ZoomInfo (IPO'd).Preston brings equal depth to creative work. His documentary The Art of Grieving (2022) follows his year-long project of painting daily after his 35-year-old brother Colin died suddenly from a fentanyl overdose. The film explores grief through personal narrative, art therapy, and cultural history. It's available on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Tubi, and has won Best Documentary at the LA Film Awards, Bridge Film Fest, and Love Wins International Film Festival.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

In this episode, I talk with my good friend and greatest mentor for personal growth and self-awareness, Dave Rossi—appearing for his fifth time on the podcast, a new record, in the B.rad studio during his tour for his new book, Alphas Die Early: For the Man on a Mission — And the Women Who Love Him. The book is so rich and deep, and I strongly urge you to read it—it can be life changing, as it has been for me. I had the great privilege of contributing to the book, and every time I talk to Dave, it’s like a 10-hour therapy session packed into a short conversation, where you get these awakenings and ideas that can help you navigate every single day. We discuss the rise of what Dave calls the Omega man—a new, evolved definition of masculinity—and the central argument of Alphas Die Early: that the traditional Alpha male model, driven by dominance, control, competition, and relentless achievement, is ultimately destructive. The very traits that create success in business and status—stress, emotional suppression, ego, and constant striving—can also lead to burnout, poor health, and shortened lifespan. Dave explains the shift toward leading from self-awareness, emotional control, authenticity, and purpose, emphasizing inner calm over constant pressure, authenticity over performance, vulnerability over emotional suppression, and sustainable purpose over endless achievement. It really comes down to this: the traits that help men win in modern society can also destroy them—unless they evolve toward a more balanced, self-aware way of living and leading. Finally, our conversation ends with me throwing a few "Rossi-isms" back at him—ideas and notes I’ve taken from our many conversations that really stick with me and continue to shape how I think and show up day to day, and Dave shares his perspective on each of them. TIMESTAMPS: The traits that help men win in modern society can also destroy them unless they evolve toward a more balanced, self-aware way of living and leading. [01:54] Society is taking a whole new look at masculinity. We don't understand what it means to be Alpha. [08:06] Being masculine wasn't a behavior 80 years ago like it is today. [12:39] Learn to not be reactive to pushes that come at from others. Learn about what triggers you. [16:55] Gratitude stops the landslide of negative thinking. [22:43] We're all biologically driven to be Alpha, but then in real life, we learn to cope. [24:42] Every day is going to be another opportunity to get triggered. [28:52] You shouldn't have to compete to survive. When you are competing, it isn't really you, it's your identity or your ego that is competing. [32:50] When you develop your awareness of your reactions, you can begin to slow down and develop techniques. [40:50] Brad and Dave talk about a coaching method and how it works or doesn't work. [47:22] Apologies are nice but sometimes they don't satisfy. Compassion for the person you hurt is very effective. The only true apology is a changed behavior. [53:33] It's not the events that makes us angry, it is the belief in them that does. With that awareness, you can chose your behavior. [56:11] In the business world the same sense of the need to survive exists. [01:01:21] Are you doing things for the right reasons? [01:11:13] Do you have to be successful to like what you do? [01:21:40] Are you stuck with your desires and don't know how to get what you want? [01:22:13] We have to stop looking at the rest of the world as our example for success. [01:27:53] Don't react to emotions. They're not the truth. Emotions cannot exist without thought. [01:29:23] It is important to let people with whom you deal what your preferences are, what you think, what you want, your values, your principles. [01:34:42] You don't have to let go of your beliefs to accept somebody else's. [01:38:14] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

If money in your private practice brings up anxiety, avoidance, or that feeling of “I should have this figured out by now,” you're not alone. Most of us were never taught how to manage money, and yet we're running businesses that are supposed to take care of us while we take care of others. That's a lot of pressure, and it makes sense that money can feel overwhelming.In this episode, I'm digging into the connection between emotions and money, and why money confusion and shame have less to do with your ability and more to do with what's happening underneath the surface.Register for our free Overcoming Money Shame workshop series!Join me live on Zoom from Monday, April 20th to Thursday, April 23rd for a daily one-hour workshop at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET.If you're tired of feeling confused, overwhelmed, or ashamed when it comes to your private practice finances, this free workshop series will help you move from money shame and confusion to clarity, calm and confidence—with practical tools and real support each day.Plus, you'll have a chance to win $500 just for attending live!Click here and sign up to save your spot or register to get the replays.Why Money Feels So Hard (and What Actually Helps)For a lot of therapists, money doesn't just feel confusing—it feels activating. Anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown can show up when you look at your numbers, not because you're incapable, but because your nervous system is taking over and your thinking brain goes offline. It's not the math that's the problem, it's the emotions. When shame, pressure, or fear are running the show, avoidance makes sense, even if it keeps you stuck. The shift starts with awareness: noticing what comes up for you and naming it, so you can begin to work with it instead of against it.Emotional Awareness and Financial ClarityWhen you begin to notice your emotional response to money instead of pushing it away, you create space to respond differently—and that's where financial clarity starts to build.(00:06:10) Money, Emotions, and Awareness(00:09:40) Therapists Transforming Money Mindsets(00:13:08) Overcoming Money Shame WorkshopBuilding a Healthier Relationship with MoneyMoney shame can feel deeply personal, but it's shaped by so many layers—lack of financial education, messages from our profession, and what we learned about money growing up. This isn't just a “you” problem. Change starts when you stop doing this alone. With support, awareness, and practical money skills, it becomes possible to move from avoidance and overwhelm toward clarity and confidence. You already know how to help people shift their relationship with hard things—the same is possible with money.Get to Know Linzy Bonham: Linzy Bonham is a private practice therapist turned money coach who helps private practice owners and health professionals feel calm and in control of their finances through her coaching at Money Nuts & Bolts and her podcast Money Skills for Therapists.It all started when she saw her extremely skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business.

Hour 4 - We take a look at some of the biggest stories of the day in The Drive! We run back our earlier interview with Red Sox manager Alex Cora!

          In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn explores the powerful and often overlooked connection between pigs and human emotions. Blending scientific insight with real-life experience, she explains how pigs are incredibly sensitive animals that can pick up on subtle cues such as scent, body language, tone of voice, and even physiological changes linked to stress.           Autumn walks listeners through emerging research that suggests pigs may detect emotional states in both humans and other animals, and how their own behavior and stress levels can shift in response. She shares how this sensitivity can sometimes lead to confusion or reactivity—especially when pigs are interacting with humans who feel anxious, fearful, or unpredictable.           Through personal stories and practical examples, Autumn highlights a common pattern she's observed: pigs often respond differently depending on the emotional energy of the person interacting with them. She explains how calm, confident, and consistent behavior can help pigs feel safe and secure, while tension or uncertainty can unintentionally trigger defensive responses.           Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how their own emotional state plays a role in their pig's behavior, along with simple, actionable strategies to create more positive, predictable interactions. This episode is a thoughtful reminder that pigs are not only intelligent, but deeply perceptive—and that building trust starts with the energy we bring into the relationship.

We discuss the science of awe—what evokes it and how to access it. Dr. Keltner explains how awe helps us frame our experience of life and who we are both as individuals and collectively. We also discuss the role of humor in social bonding, dispel common myths about the biology of emotions and review the lesser-known factors that strengthen or inhibit relationships and communities.
