Most men were never taught how to be emotionally present. They were taught how to provide, how to perform, and how to push through. And for a long time, that felt like enough. But if you've ever come home after leading hundreds of people at work and felt completely lost in your own living room, you're not alone. This is why famous at home exists in the first place. In this episode, Josh discusses the tension men feel between the demands of their professional lives and the deeper call of their homes. Drawing on decades of research—including what one USC longitudinal study found is the single greatest factor for passing faith across generations—his own coaching work with high-capacity men, and two personal moments where he heard the quiet voice of God, Josh unpacks the three relationships every father must tend: with his wife, with his kids, and with Jesus. Whether you lead hundreds at work and feel lost at home, or you're simply trying to figure out what a present, emotionally engaged husband and father looks like in practice — this one's for you.*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Constance's son Miles had brain surgery at just six years old. That's tough. Lots of emotions involved. Kids always feel emotions, but they rarely fully understand them, which can lead to strange behavior and difficulty as a parent. Enter color theory, which helps kids communicate how they feel using colors rather than specific language. Are you feeling turquoise today? If so, visit https://www.colorfulcapesoffeelings.com/. By the way, turquoise is the color I've assigned to curiosity.
Money is emotional — and in this episode, Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ and Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT explore why emotions have such a powerful influence on financial behavior. From market volatility and economic uncertainty to comparison, insecurity, and fear of failure, people rarely make purely rational financial decisions. Instead, emotions often drive reactions that conflict with long-term goals. Dr. Matt introduces a powerful framework: emotions are signals, not commands. Fear, anxiety, and stress may reveal that something matters deeply, but they should not automatically dictate behavior. Erik shares real examples from his work as a financial planner, explaining how emotional reactions during market downturns or financial stress can sabotage otherwise solid plans. The episode offers practical tools for slowing down emotional reactions, identifying what feelings are trying to communicate, and responding with intention rather than panic. Episode Highlights: Dr. Matt explains that emotions drive thoughts and behaviors, making it essential to pay attention to the feelings behind financial actions. (02:22) Dr. Matt clarifies that people tend to treat emotions as facts rather than signals worth examining. (03:55) Dr. Matt shares that emotions are good data points but not directives. (05:17) Erik recalls choosing to validate clients' fear during a market crisis rather than dismissing it with "don't panic." (07:06) Dr. Matt recounts calling Erik during a market drop and how Erik's grounding in market history helped calm his fear. (08:12) Erik discusses how social media and financial content creators trigger emotional responses that push people toward decisions inconsistent with their values. (09:39) Dr. Matt explains that financial fear often points to a deeper concern such as "Will I have enough?" rather than surface-level market activity. (13:55) Erik emphasizes that emotions have legitimacy and decisions should align with what matters most rather than being hijacked by emotion. (14:44) Dr. Matt recommends using an emotions wheel to name feelings precisely, which slows reactive thinking. (16:19) Erik believes that talking through high-stakes emotional moments with a professional, whether a therapist or financial planner, is especially valuable. (18:17 Key Quotes: “Emotions are good data but they're not directives. They're not marching orders.” - Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT “Let's make sure that we make a good decision that's consistent with the things that are most important to you.” - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ “We think about feelings as being signals that something is really important to you. And then we want to be able to connect that to the thing that's really important.” - Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT Resources Mentioned: Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT Matt Morris & Associates Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

George Wright III discusses emotional control as a key differentiator between high performers and those who struggle, emphasizing that life is shaped by how you respond to circumstances rather than the circumstances themselves. He explains that emotional control isn't suppressing feelings but preventing temporary emotions from driving decisions, noting emotions provide useful information while still requiring discipline. Drawing on Stephen Covey's idea of the space between stimulus and response, he contrasts reacting automatically with responding intentionally. He offers practical strategies: build awareness by identifying triggers and separating yourself from emotions, pause before acting to avoid permanent decisions from temporary feelings, challenge the story and meaning you assign to events, and return to values by asking who you want to be in the moment. He invites listeners to share feedback via social or george@g3worldwide.com and previews upcoming topics including business, authority connections, and AI automation.00:00 Why Emotional Control Matters01:01 Emotions Versus Suppression02:45 Where Life Tests You04:34 Stimulus Response Space05:41 Awareness First06:39 Pause Before You Act07:26 Rewrite the Story08:29 Anchor to Your Values09:29 Freedom to Choose ResponseThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

In this episode, Jeremiah and E are discussing emotnioal regulation tools and strategies. Frustration tends to begin where our desire clash up against points of resistance. Because it often manifests in the body, usually, the body is good place to start. We focus our awareness on calming our tense muscles and regulating our breathing. As we calm ourselves, frustration can often be used as a compass to help us identify what matters most to us.As always, thank you for listening along with us.

You do not have to be afraid of big emotions, but you do need a way to meet them. In this episode, I talk with Elizabeth Sautter about what actually helps in those moments when a child's feelings get big. Elizabeth walks us through her ABCs of big emotions framework: first assess and get curious, then balance the brain, and then move toward connection and collaboration. We talk about why behavior is data, why the first move is not fixing or teaching, and why the adult's ability to pause matters so much. She also reminds us that self-care is not selfish, it is essential, because we cannot lend regulation to a child when our own system is already flooded. We also get into what this looks like in real life. Elizabeth explains why telling a dysregulated child to take a deep breath often backfires, why "listen and validate" has to come before problem-solving, and why connection in the moment is different from collaboration later. There is such a helpful reframe here around emotions taking the time they take. The goal is not to rush them out of the body. The goal is to help a child feel safe enough to move through them and then build more skills outside the crisis moment. Key Takeaways Big emotions are data. They are not something to fear or immediately shut down. They are a stress response and a form of communication. The first step is assessment, not control. Elizabeth's "A" is about assessing the moment, pausing, and getting curious about what is really happening underneath the behavior. Self-care is part of co-regulation. If the adult nervous system is already overwhelmed, it is much harder to respond with steadiness. Balance the brain before you try to teach. The "B" is about helping the adult and child nervous systems settle enough that thinking becomes possible again. One breath for me, one breath for you. Elizabeth offers this as a simple way for adults to ground themselves and orient toward supporting the child without demanding the child self-regulate first. Do not ask a dysregulated child to perform calm. If a child is already flooded, telling them to breathe or answer questions may just add more pressure. Connection comes before collaboration. In the moment, the work is to listen and validate. The learning, problem-solving, and collaboration happen later, when the child is back in a learning state. Validation does not require fixing. Sometimes what helps most is being present, using a slow and low voice, and letting the child know their feelings are not too much for the relationship. Emotions are not supposed to move on our timetable. Kids are born with all the feelings and not all the skills, so part of the work is tolerating that emotions take time. Skill building mostly happens outside the crisis. The longer-term work is proactive sensory support, movement, regulation tools, and practicing what to do before the next hard moment arrives.

Hey friend, Do you have flare-ups that seem to come out of nowhere, and you cannot trace them to anything you ate or did? Has your doctor said "everything looks fine" while your body is clearly not fine? Have you wondered if the hard week you just had has anything to do with the way your body feels right now?

Most coaches spend their careers shaping athletes. Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin spend theirs learning from them — and what they've found might change how you coach.Rustin and Elise write NY Times feature, The Peak for The Athletic, a section devoted to the mental side of elite sports. In this episode with JP Nerbun, they unpack what a year of "I Tried" journalism has taught them: Kobe's silence practice, Michael Phelps' freestyle journaling, Buzz Williams writing four to five letters a day, an Olympian who approaches every failure with childlike curiosity, and a reminder from David Ortiz about what it actually means to bounce back.

Sometimes our mind knows the right thing, but our heart is not interested in attending the meeting. Other times, our emotions are so strong that our mind becomes the intern in the back of the room taking notes. Kabbalah teaches that healthy living is not about shutting down emotion, and it is not about letting feelings run the show. The goal is Middot Al Pi Sechel, emotions guided by wisdom. In this class, we'll learn how intellect can give direction to emotion, how emotion can give warmth and life to intellect, and how real spiritual maturity happens when the mind and heart stop fighting and start becoming partners. Based on the chapter “Sechel and Middos: Intellect and Emotions.”Key Takeaways1. Sechel means the mind: Sechel is our ability to think clearly, step back, analyze, and ask: What is true? What is right? What is really happening here?2. Middot means the heart: Middot are our emotions and character traits — love, fear, anger, compassion, desire, excitement, frustration, and kindness.3. The mind alone can become cold: A person can understand something intellectually and still not be moved by it. Knowing the truth is important, but it has to become alive in the heart.4. Emotions alone can become messy: Feelings are powerful, but without guidance they can go too far. Even love can become unhealthy when it has no boundaries.5. Kabbalah wants partnership, not domination: The goal is not for the mind to crush the heart or for the heart to hijack the mind. The goal is for the mind to guide the heart, and the heart to energize the mind.6. Real love is not always giving someone what they want: Sometimes love says yes. Sometimes love says no. The parent taking a dangerous object away from a child is not being cruel; that is love guided by wisdom.7. Avraham's kindness was not wild kindness: Avraham Avinu embodied chesed, but his kindness was guided by truth and purpose. That is the model of healthy emotion: warm, powerful, and directed.8. Emotional maturity means pausing before reacting: Before we act from a feeling, we ask: Is this feeling true? Is it proportionate? Is it helping me become the person Hashem wants me to be?#KabbalahForEveryone #Rabbiyisroelbernath #SechelAndMiddot #Sechel #Middot #MindAndHeart #chassidus #ChabadChassidus #JewishWisdom #PracticalKabbalah #EmotionalGrowth #spiritualgrowth #InnerWork #Kabbalah #KabbalahForRealLife #kabala #qabbalaAvailable now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Feeling weighed down by grief, overthinking, or a world that doesn't feel fair – and still needing to sleep? This **guided sleep meditation** is for you. In *Feel Joy Anyway*, I gently guide you to watch your feelings without becoming them, so you can **fall asleep despite grief, anxiety, or rumination** and let small, genuine moments of joy return. In this practice, you will: - Learn to **observe your emotions** without being swallowed by them - Gently **unhook from overthinking and rumination** at night - Cultivate **self‑compassion, dignity, and clear seeing** - Allow **tiny, authentic moments of joy and peace** to arise – without forcing anything - Drift into **restorative sleep**, even when life feels heavy This meditation is especially supportive if you're: - Moving through **grief, loss, estrangement, or big life transitions** - Struggling with **imposter syndrome, self‑criticism or emotional overwhelm** - Feeling like you're **"running thin on joy"** and can't remember the last time you truly rested
Mo catches up with old friend Tamara Mosly who took over her mother's 38-year-old business: Fantasy Party. What began as a family venture has evolved into one of Saudi Arabia's most recognisable local brands, bringing joy to generations of children through events, gifts, toys, costumes, and celebrations. Tamara reflects on her mother's legacy of building and growing the business during a very different era in Saudi Arabia, in an industry that was once viewed rather unconventional. Together, Mo and Tamara explore the responsibilities of parenthood, the realities of burnout, and the ongoing journey of finding purpose, fulfillment, and joy in an ever-evolving world. 0:00 Intro3:16 Facing Tradition as Women in Business5:37 Lessons from a Strong Mother7:43 Growing Up Saudi & Lebanese9:41 School, Rebellion & Street Smarts12:02 Applying to the Ivy League… and Getting Rejected14:00 Growing Up Inside the Family Business15:37 The Golden Era of Children's Parties20:02 Returning to Saudi Arabia During Vision 203021:27 Building the F1 Jeddah Guest Experience22:26 Bringing the British Museum to Madinah24:00 Witnessing Saudi Arabia's Transformation Firsthand25:04 Training 300 Saudi Drivers for Formula 128:13 Why Saudi Teams Outperformed Expectations32:19 From Formula 1 to the Red Sea Film Festival34:42 Miscarriage, Burnout & Pushing Through41:24 Motherhood, Work & Hidden Struggles43:32 Saudi Arabia: Then vs. Now48:39 How E-Commerce Nearly Killed a 38-Year Legacy53:06 Taking Over the Family Business56:00 Choosing Gratitude Over Success58:27 Loss, Aging & Staying Connected1:02:06 Health, Motherhood & Losing Yourself1:04:13 The Truth About Work-Life Balance1:08:06 Guilty Pleasures1:10:12 The Dream She Had to Let Go Of1:15:21 Confidence, Emotions & Feeling Understood1:18:45 Final Reflections
In this satsang, Shunyamurti clarifies the essential distinction between Being and becoming. He reveals the ambivalence at the core of every ego: personality, trauma, and internal conflict all belong to the realm of becoming—a shifting hologram of thoughts, emotions, and identities. But beneath this restless flux is the changeless reality of pure Being—silent, luminous, and beyond birth and death. Liberation begins when we stop trying to understand or improve the character and instead abide as the awareness in which all appearances arise and dissolve. Shunyamurti also offers a reading from Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sat Yoga's patron sage, dismantling even the subtle notion of a separate “witness.” True realization is not something one becomes but what one has always been. The path is not gradual self-improvement but the courageous surrender of every story into the timeless presence of Sat Chit Ananda.

Many people enter the healing journey believing they are attempting to recover from pain. Years later they discover they were actually attempting to recover from adaptation. That realization changes everything. Because the deepest wound many people carry has nothing to do with what happened to them. It has everything to do with who they became in response. Somewhere along the way, many people learned how to become acceptable before they learned how to become themselves. They learned how to read rooms before reading their own emotions. They learned how to anticipate the needs of others before understanding their own needs. They learned how to secure belonging through performance, achievement, caretaking, sacrifice, emotional labor, usefulness, attractiveness, intelligence, spirituality, or success. The shiny soul often embodies this paradox more intensely than most. These individuals frequently possess a profound desire for authentic connection, a heightened moral sensitivity, and a deep commitment to truth. Yet that very sensitivity often tempts them into constructing identities designed to earn love rather than receive it. Then life intervenes. A relationship collapses. A friendship expires. A marriage ends. A career loses meaning. An identity begins cracking under the weight of its own performance. Suddenly healing arrives not as comfort but as interruption. The interruption asks a dangerous question: Who are you beneath the adaptations that earned your belonging? This conversation investigates whether healing truly requires solitude or whether solitude merely becomes the temporary consequence of removing psychological noise. We examine why certain friendships disappear during periods of growth, why some relationships resist authenticity, why the inner child often speaks in whispers, and why the journey toward selfhood frequently feels lonely before it feels liberating. Perhaps healing does not separate us from others. Perhaps healing separates us from everything that prevented us from hearing ourselves.

In this episode we explore some of the emotional and psychological life of international governance. Professor Daniel Laqua, Professor Dan Gorman and Dr. Anne-Isabelle Richard talk about GLO, a transatlantic research project examining how civil society, activists, and NGOs have campaigned to build, shape, reform or put an end to international organizations from the early 20th century to the early 2000s. They discuss findings from the project about emotional experiences such as love, hate, trust, and sense of belonging in this context, and consider the way people relate to and through international institutions through psychodynamic concepts of projection and transference. Listen to examples from the League of Nations, United Nations Associations, Jubilee 2000, and the Council of Europe.

Vous vous regardez dans le miroir et vous ne reconnaissez plus tout à fait la personne en face de vous. Ce que vous ressentez à ce moment-là n'est ni anormal ni superficiel, et ce n'est pas non plus uniquement lié à votre apparence.Dans cet épisode, je réponds à Claire, 42 ans, mère de trois enfants, qui m'a écrit pour me confier qu'elle a du mal à accepter son reflet et les photos prises d'elle lors des repas de famille.Sa question touche à quelque chose de très répandu, souvent passé sous silence : comment faire la paix avec les signes du vieillissement alors qu'on vit dans une société qui glorifie la jeunesse ?Dans cet épisode, je vous explique d'abord les trois mécanismes cognitifs qui amplifient le malaise, et qui n'ont finalement rien à voir avec votre visage objectif. C'est important de les connaître pour relativiser votre ressenti.Ensuite, je vous propose des pratiques concrètes pour adoucir votre regard sur vous-même, et surtout diminuer la charge émotionnelle que vous ressentez en croisant votre reflet dans le miroir ou en découvrant les photos de l'anniversaire de votre petit neveu.Vous pouvez aussi :

Genny Rumancik is a mental health advocate and educator, and the creator of The EQ School, which offers courses and online resources to improve self-awareness, navigate emotional self-management, and shift relational patterns for healthier relationships. Her debut book, The Wisdom of Feeling, will be published by Penguin Random House in June 2026.In this episode, we explore the topic of emotional intelligence and discuss why these skills are important, yet often overlooked. we discuss Genny's personal and professional journey, including her experience as a former teacher and impact on her work as a mental health advocate.Genny shares how she often draws from David Goleman's framework, breaking down four key areas of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, emotional self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.In addition, we discuss the difference between intellectualizing emotions and what it can look like to truly feel them, the role of self-compassion and trauma-informed care, the role of acceptance in building resilience, and how authenticity can help us cultivate deeper connections with ourselves and others.FOLLOW GENNY:INSTA: @theeqschoolWEBSITE: http://www.theeqschool.co/BOOK: The Wisdom of FeelingFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/theeqschoolSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.come
Have you ever wondered, “Why is this so hard to let go of when I know it is not right for me?”. In part 8 of our relationship series, we explore one of the most disorienting emotional experiences in relationships: The moment you realize you are not just losing a person, but a future you built in your mind.In this episode, we talk about what happens when clarity finally cuts through hope, and why that moment often feels worse before it feels better. We explore the quiet grief of realizing someone is exactly who they've been showing you, and the exhaustion of holding on to the version of the relationship you wanted it to become.We also go deeper into something many people don't have language for: ambiguous loss. That confusing space where nothing fully ended, but something still feels gone. Situationships, emotionally unavailable partners, and relationships without clear closure can leave us grieving something that never fully materialized, which is often the hardest kind of grief to name.From there, we unpack the difference between acceptance and settling, and what it actually means to see reality clearly without abandoning yourself in the process. And finally, we look at what becomes possible when you stop spending all your energy hoping, fixing, and waiting, and start redirecting that energy back into your own life.Get 20% off today at https://aquatru.com with promo code SHTCEDownload HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/d31uDDISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

Does this sound familiar?“I'm busy all day, but I don't get anything done. I want something to show for my efforts.”“Everyone in my life is tired of my lateness and unreliability.”“I can't get motivated unless I'm facing a deadline, and what I produce isn't as good as it could be.”In this episode of A Mind of Her Own with Jennifer Reid, MD, we hear from adult ADHD expert, J. Russell Ramsay, PhD about a new way of viewing ADHD: as fundamentally a self-regulation problem, not an attention problem. The name is misleading. What's really impaired is the ability to organize behavior across time in order to consistently follow through on what you intend to do.CBT adapted for ADHD works differently than standard CBT. The focus isn't on changing negative thoughts. It's on reverse-engineering the how of not doing things, then building explicit step-by-step plans. The goal is slowing down the executive function deliberately, making implicit steps external and visible.The Core Executive Functions Affected in ADHD:* Inhibition (pausing before responding automatically)* Nonverbal working memory (mental simulation and planning)* Verbal working memory (internal self-talk and staying on track)* Emotional regulation and motivation (generating drive in the absence of immediate consequences)* Reconstitution (flexible, creative problem-solving)Emotional dysregulation is a core feature, but it's invisible in the DSM. Emotions don't appear in the diagnostic criteria at all, yet they drive much of what people actually struggle with: impulsive reactions, difficulty tolerating discomfort, and using guilt as a misguided motivator.Women are significantly under-diagnosed and diagnosed later. CDC data from 2024 found that 50% of people with ADHD were diagnosed at age 18 or older, and 61% of those were women. Girls' symptoms often appear on the playground rather than in the classroom, with social disruption rather than academic chaos, making them easier to overlook. Women are also more likely to be diagnosed first with anxiety or depression.Self-mistrust is a hallmark and often mistaken for low confidence. After years of inconsistent follow-through, many adults with ADHD stop trusting themselves to do what they set out to do. This isn't simply low self-esteem; it's a learned pattern of doubting one's own reliability, often amplified by the unspoken message: it must be something I'm doing wrong.High functioning doesn't mean unaffected. Many people mask symptoms for years through compensatory strategies: all-nighters, parental scaffolding, sheer willpower, until the scaffolding is removed or life demands multiply (new job, parenthood, caregiving, perimenopause).Front-end perfectionism drives procrastination. The biggest cognitive distortion in ADHD isn't negativity, it's the belief that conditions must be perfect before starting. Waiting to feel focused, energized, or “in the mood” guarantees perpetual delay. The reframe: Do I have enough to begin?ADHD also brings real strengths. Creativity, the ability to hyper-focus in stimulating environments, hands-on intuitive knowledge, persistence when engaged, and the capacity for innovative thinking are all genuine advantages, not consolation prizes.Resources Mentioned* Book: Once I Get Started: The Adult ADHD Program for Turning Your Intentions into Actions — Dr. Russell Ramsay (Avery/Penguin Random House, May 2025)* Book: You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! — Kate Kelly & Peggy Ramundo (mid-90s classic, still widely cited)* Book: The Power of Habit — Charles Duhigg (source of the “keystone habit” concept)* Book: The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain — Annie Murphy Paul (on environment, cognition, and the need for solitude)* Book: Living Well with Adult ADHD: Practical Strategies for Improving Your Daily Life — Dr. Laura Knouse & Dr. Russell Barkley (Guilford Press, 2025)* Researcher: Dr. Margaret Sibley — Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington; leading work on adult ADHD diagnosis guidelines through the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders (APSARD)* Researcher: Dr. Russ Barkley — foundational work on ADHD as executive dysfunction* Assessment tool: QB Test (Qbtech) — computerized continuous performance task used to objectively measure attention, impulsivity, and activity* Website: cbt4adhd.com — Dr. Ramsay's practice, contact form, and resourcesAbout Dr. Russell RamsayDr. J.

Why do some people know exercise is good for them but still struggle to move? Why can something as simple as a workout trigger emotions, fear, shame, or even tears?In this powerful conversation, Coach Alex sits down with trauma-informed health coach and author De Bolton to explore the deep connection between movement, trauma, healing, and Christian stewardship.Together they discuss:How trauma is stored in the bodyWhy movement can feel threatening for some peopleThe relationship between emotional wounds and physical healthThe disconnect between Christianity and body stewardshipWhy food has become the church's most acceptable addictionHow shame impacts our health and habitsThe difference between neglect and obsession in fitnessWhat it means to truly honor your body as God's templeHow to move from performance-based fitness to worship-based stewardshipWhy healing requires reconnecting body, mind, and spiritThis conversation is especially important for anyone who has ever felt stuck, discouraged, ashamed, disconnected from their body, or frustrated by repeated health struggles.God doesn't merely care about your spirit.He created you as a whole person.And learning to steward your body well may be one of the most overlooked aspects of discipleship today.You are loved exactly as you are.And because you are loved, your body is worth stewarding well.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to De Bolton01:10 – Why Movement Changes Your Mood02:00 – How Trauma Gets Stored in the Body04:45 – Why Exercise Can Trigger Old Wounds07:45 – Tears, Emotions, and Physical Release08:45 – Why Christians Are Disconnected From Their Bodies11:20 – Stewardship vs. Fitness Idolatry13:15 – Is Food the Church's Most Accepted Addiction?16:00 – Why Your Body Matters to God18:20 – Where to Start If You Hate Exercise22:00 – The Power of Small Wins24:15 – The Mustard Seed Principle of Growth25:25 – How Fitness Becomes an Idol28:00 – Fitness as Worship30:15 – The Difference Between Performance and Stewardship31:00 – Shame, Healing, and Physical Health33:40 – Grace Removes Shame But Not Responsibility36:15 – The Story Behind The Embodied Beloved38:50 – Knowing God's Love vs. Embodying God's Love40:00 – Reclaim Your Temple Program42:45 – The Four Disciplines: Integrity, Grit, Growth & Awe45:20 – Why Integrity Is the Biggest Struggle46:00 – Rapid Fire Questions47:00 – Music, Movement & Motivation48:00 – Parenting Adult Children50:00 – Final Encouragement from De Bolton51:00 – Closing Prayer

Joseph Podcast, I break down how perceived authority and environment force men — especially UDJ men — to shift their cognitive development between emotionally explosive and emotionally implosive states.I share personal stories from my own life, failed marriages, toxic work environments, and the hard lessons learned about masking, submitting to hierarchy, and why so many men get stuck. We dive deep into Octagram biases, why SD men dominate middle management, hiring preferences (authenticity vs harmony), and practical ways to identify your true cognitive development for career success.This is essential knowledge for any man navigating jobs, interviews, or relationships in today's biased world.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: 128 Perspectives & Octagram Bias01:45 - Women's Biases Toward Men (Open vs Quiet)03:20 - Men's Bias: "Women Yap Too Much"05:10 - My UDJ Story: Emotional Explosive vs Implosive08:30 - Perceived Authority & Hierarchical Men12:15 - Submitting to Environment vs Making It Submit15:40 - Job Interviews: Masking & Impulsiveness19:20 - Best Boss Ever – Managing Explosive Emotions20:54 - SD vs UD Men in the Workplace, Hiring Bias & ClosingAll my links & resources: https://linktr.ee/csjosephBecome Part of the Community or Take the Free Personality Test: https://linktr.ee/csjosephSkool Membership – Watch Season 40 (How to Personality Type Yourself 2.0): https://skool.com/csjosephDiscord • Substack • Blog • More: https://linktr.ee/csjoseph#CSJoseph #Octagram #UDJ #CognitiveDevelopment #PerceivedAuthority #EgoHackers #MenInWorkplace #JobInterviewTips #UDvsSD #Masculinity #PersonalityTypes #JungianPsychology #HackedOff #ShadowWork

We've been asking our kids the wrong question since kindergarten. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" confuses identity with performance, and Josh argues we've been setting them up for anxiety and false selves ever since.This episode reframes the whole parenting mission around the theme of Jesus's central message: the Kingdom of God. When kids understand their personal role in building for the kingdom of God, their identity stops depending on what they do, what they have, or what anyone thinks of them. It's a parenting paradigm shift that gives our kids a purpose bigger than anything the world has to offer.We also announce the launch of a brand new parenting platform for raising emotionally healthy and spiritually mature kids called Raising Future Legends.*Once again, thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode.

In this episode of the Pure Desire Podcast, we dive into the essential topic of emotional stability and its role in recovery, relationships, and personal growth. We explore how to assess whether we are managing our emotions or being managed by them, and why there are no inherently “good” or “bad” emotions. Emotions are powerful indicators of deeper realities and can reveal patterns that lead to relapse if left unchecked. Our guest, Heather Kolb, shares practical strategies for slowing down, analyzing emotional triggers, and reshaping patterns connected to fear, anger, loneliness, or rejection. We also discuss habits to cultivate emotional resilience, ways to support loved ones without taking responsibility for their feelings, and recommended resources for deepening emotional health. This episode equips listeners to engage their emotions with awareness, understanding, and stability. Resources: Register For The 2026 Summit Now!
