In this episode of The Resetter Podcast, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with hormone expert Dr. Sonya Jensen for a deeply honest conversation about how hormones shape our emotions, behaviors, relationships, and sense of self across every stage of a woman's life. Together, they explore why emotional reactions intensify during hormonal transitions, how resentment and rage often have ancestral roots, and why symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and overwhelm are not character flaws, but signals from the body asking for support. Dr. Sonya introduces her "HER Cycle" framework, showing how hormones, emotions, and relationships are always influencing one another and how healing often begins in the body, not the mind.

Is the real crisis today economic — or architectural? In this episode, we challenge the idea that loneliness and despair come from a broken ladder of upward mobility. What if the problem isn't that we can't climb… but that we were taught to measure our worth by climbing in the first place? Drawing from Middlemarch, modern work culture, and personal experience, this conversation explores why craftsmanship, authorship, and daily building may be the antidote to vertical despair.In this episode:Why the “career ladder” mindset fuels anxiety and comparisonThe difference between climbing and buildingHow craftsmanship creates internal pride (and hunger)What Lydgate's crisis in Middlemarch teaches us about collapsed ambitionWhy being seen — not promoted — can save a lifeThe power of asking: “Am I actually in danger right now?”Moving from passive consumption to generative actionHow to build meaning even when the system feels unstable
Hey Mama, When we want energy as busy moms, we often want to reach for our favorite all natural energy drink, drive through for our favorite latte or heat up water for some nice tea.

Listen in today to learn why you should prioritize daily hydration as a stressed out mom.

It's Feelings February, on the "You Are A LOT" podcast, and I'm starting the first episode of the month with a basic question: what's the difference between an emotion and a feeling? Emotions are real-time body signals—racing heart, tight chest, clenched jaw, shallow breathing. Feelings are what you become aware of and can name after your brain interprets those body signals. For ADHD and AuDHD humans, there's often a lag between the emotion happening and the feeling "forming," (due to our issues with interoception) which can make it hard to answer a simple question like "What's wrong?" I explain how to use a Feelings Wheel and why naming the body state can sometimes ground you more than naming a feeling too fast. Show Notes: Join Jen's Accountability Club!

Strong emotions are hard to control. Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce shares truths from God's Word to help you stay grounded when your feelings are up in the air.
Emotions, body, and letting go
In this episode, we take a leadership journey through the four essential pillars of successful organizational change: Vision, Emotional Intelligence, Decisiveness and Openness. Drawing from the recent article How to Successfully Lead Organizational Change, we explore how every leader – whether founder, C-suite executive or emerging internal change champion – can step into their role with clarity, confidence, and humanity. Expect concrete take-aways, real-world application and reflection prompts for your next big change initiative. Key Take-aways Vision is non-negotiable Change without a clear destination is like driving in the fog; your team will feel lost and unmotivated. (Breakfast Leadership Network) As the article states: “If you don't have a vision, you will also find it very difficult to motivate and lead your team.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) In practice: create a vivid picture of the “after-state” for your organization and share that widely. Emotional intelligence is the hidden accelerator Recognizing how your people are feeling—and why—is vital. (Breakfast Leadership Network) Change triggers uncertainty, fear, resistance. As the article reminds, being tuned in helps you support team members effectively. Practical tip: map out the emotional journey your team might take during the change. Pre-empt fears and build empathy early. Decisiveness keeps momentum alive In times of change, leadership vacillation kills progress. The article highlights that your team looks to you to “take the reins.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) It's not about making everything perfect—rather, about making the right call, owning it, and moving forward. Consider installing a decision framework: how will you determine when to act vs. when to pause and reflect. Openness builds trust and fuels participation Transparency matters more when things are shifting. The article says that being “open with your teams” is “especially important.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) Communicating the “why,” the “how,” and the “what's next” helps reduce fear and invites buy-in rather than resistance. Real-world practice: hold regular “change check-ins” where people can surface concerns, ask questions, and feel heard. Discussion Questions for Your Team: Reflect on a major change you led (or were part of). How clear was the vision? How did that shape the outcome? How do you as a leader stay emotionally tuned in during change—what practices help you sense team mood and response? In your experience, where do leaders most often hesitate during change? What tends to cause that hesitation and how can it be mitigated? What transparency looks like in your organization? Are you striking the right balance between “too little” and “too much” communication? Looking ahead: in your next organizational change initiative, which of these four pillars deserves most of your attention—and what will be your first action step? Action Steps for Listeners Grab a blank sheet and map your current or upcoming change initiative using the four pillars: Vision, Emotions, Decisiveness, Openness. Identify one thing you are not doing now (or could do better) in each pillar—and pick one pillar to focus on this week. Schedule a “change check-in” with your team where you openly share the vision, invite questions, and surface emotional reactions. Commit to a decision-cadence: set a fixed date (within next two weeks) when you will make a key change decision and communicate it, rather than letting it linger. Who Should Listen Founders, CEOs, senior leaders facing a significant organizational change (e.g., pivot, restructure, culture shift) HR, change-management and OD professionals charged with leading or supporting change efforts Emerging leaders looking to step into change-leadership roles and build their competence in guiding transitions Anyone interested in the human side of change—how emotions, trust and clarity influence outcomes. Links & Resources Link to the article: How to Successfully Lead Organizational Change Learn more: BreakfastLeadership.com/blog If you're planning a change initiative and need support, reach out for coaching and advisory services with the Breakfast Leadership Network. Final Thought Change is inevitable—but successful change doesn't just “happen.” It is led. As the article reminds us, it takes a visible vision, emotional attunement, bold decisions and open communication. If you lean into these four pillars, you'll lead not just a transition, but a transformation.
In this episode, Colleen shares a raw, surprising takeaway from a recent retreat — one that had nothing to do with learning new concepts and everything to do with experiencing her body in a new way. What began as deep discomfort around words like sensuality and sexual energy opened into a realization many women quietly live with: when you've been taught to fear, suppress, or perform your body for others, you often shut down far more than sexuality — you shut down joy, creativity, pleasure, and aliveness. And when that energy stays blocked, the body looks for relief wherever it can find it. Colleen explores how drinking, numbing, and emotional shutdown aren't moral failures or cravings for "bad behavior," but attempts to regulate trapped energy in a body that hasn't felt safe to move, express, or feel. She explains the difference between processing trauma cognitively and liberating energy physically — and why movement, music, and instinctive expression can unlock more healing than insight alone.

Vous sentez que quelque chose en vous a besoin d'évoluer, mais… vous vous sentez bloquée par l'impact que ça pourrait avoir sur votre entourage.Dans cet épisode, je vous parle d'un frein invisible mais très puissant : le sentiment de ne pas être autorisée à changer, surtout quand on anticipe le regard des autres.Changer de travail. Changer de style ou de loisirs. Changer vos priorités, vos limites, votre manière d'être dans vos relations.Ou même changer intérieurement : dans votre confiance en vous, votre audace, votre personnalité.Très souvent, ce qui nous bloque n'est pas le manque de clarté ou de courage, mais cette question sous-jacente :« Est-ce que j'ai le DROIT de devenir une AUTRE version de moi que celle que les autres connaissent ? »Dans cet épisode, on explore ensemble :Ce qui se joue quand vous attendez (sans le savoir) l'autorisation de votre entourageLa différence entre avoir besoin de soutien et demander la permissionComment vous donner à vous-même l'autorisation de changer, sans mettre en péril vos relationsCet épisode s'adresse à vous si vous sentez que vous êtes à l'étroit dans une version de vous-même, mais que vous vous retenez de changer pour ne pas “secouer le cocotier” dans vos relations.Vous avez déjà le droit de changer. La vraie question, c'est : qu'est-ce que ça vous coûterait de ne pas le faire ?

We're so busy watching everyone else—scrolling feeds, comparing ourselves to other leaders, checking what the competition is doing—that we've become incredibly others-aware and dangerously self-unaware. Self-awareness isn't a buzzword. It's the difference between walking into a meeting grounded or bringing your frustration, anxiety, and chaos with you—and watching it cascade to everyone around you. Here's the truth: as goes the leader, so goes the team. Your mood changes rooms. Your anxiety creates anxiety. Your groundedness brings clarity. In this episode, we're diving into the third sphere of leadership that most people ignore: how your emotions, your wiring, and your weaknesses are impacting the people you lead. Whether you realize it or not. Since Daniel Goleman published his work on emotional intelligence, self-awareness has been everywhere. It's in every leadership book, every conference, every corporate training. But here's the irony: we're at an all-time high for talking about self-awareness and an all-time low for actually practicing it. Why? Because we're too busy being others-aware. Always looking at what everyone else is doing. Always comparing. Always feeling behind. This episode cuts through the noise and gives you three practical aspects of self-awareness that will change how you lead: What You'll Learn: Why being "others-aware" is making you dangerously self-unaware—and how to fix it Social contagion: the psychological reality that your mood spreads to your team whether you want it to or not The space between stimulus and response—and why mastering this one thing prevents unnecessary blowups How to identify your emotional triggers before they derail your day (and a real story of how this saved a family evening) Why context determines the course: how your energy and encouragement levels shape every conversation Your assets vs. your liabilities: understanding what work energizes you and what work drains you Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius framework and why it's a game-changer for understanding your wiring The six types: geniuses, frustrations, and competencies—and how to identify yours Why it's not the amount of work burning you out, it's the type of work (and what to do about it) Drains and fills: how to design your days around what gives you energy Why some leaders love conferences and others absolutely hate them (it's all about wiring) How to build a team that complements your strengths and covers your weaknesses Key Insight: Most leaders think they're burned out because they're doing too much work. The reality? You're doing the wrong type of work for your wiring. If you spent eight hours a day doing spreadsheets when you're wired for ideation, you'd be burned out in weeks. If you're wired for details and you're forced to brainstorm all day, same result. Self-awareness means knowing your drains and your fills—and designing your role around both. The Three Aspects of Self-Awareness: Emotions - How my emotions impact others Assets - What energizes and fulfills me (my wiring, my geniuses) Liabilities - What drains me (my frustrations, my weaknesses) Reflection Questions: What is one situation that brings you emotions that are unhealthy or unfair to the people around you? What are a few assets or parts of your wiring that you need to be utilizing more in your role? What are some liabilities you need to name to your team—and how can you do less of those things? A self-aware leader can serve others well with full awareness of who they are and who they're not. This is identity work. You cannot be all things. You are not good at all things. And you cannot compare off somebody else's paper and expect to lead like them.

Science reveals that enjoying your habits might be shrinking your brain. Here is the neuroscience of the AMCC and why 90% of modern men are physically and mentally weaker than their grandfathers. In this episode of The Modern Man, we sit down with a High-Performance Strategist to decode the biological and sociological crisis facing men today. We break down the Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex (AMCC)—the specific area of the brain responsible for willpower—and why new research suggests that "doing what you love" might be killing your resilience. If you feel like you are working harder but getting weaker, the data backs you up. From plummeting grip strength to the "loneliness recession," we examine the exact statistics that reveal why modern men are falling behind previous generations. But more importantly, we give you the protocol to join the top 10% who are thriving. We also dive deep into "The Anger Trap"—why most men default to anger because they lack the tools to process shame, guilt, or fear—and how to finally break that cycle to become a better husband, father, and leader. In this episode, you will learn: The Neuroscience of Willpower: Why the AMCC only grows when you do things you hate. The "90/10" Rule: Why the gap between the top 10% of men and the bottom 90% is widening. Emotional Leadership: How to stop snapping at your family by identifying the "primary emotion" beneath your anger. The "Rule of 3": A simple morning protocol to rebuild your self-respect before 8 AM.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Robyn Benincasa returns to go deeper on one of the most misunderstood elements of leadership: commitment when motivation fades. Drawing from decades of adventure racing, firefighting, and nonprofit leadership, Robyn explains why elite teams don't wait to feel ready — they move forward anyway. Together with Dwayne Kerrigan, Robyn unpacks the difference between confidence and ego, why standing still is often more dangerous than moving imperfectly, and how innovation only emerges when teams focus on how to win, not how to avoid losing. Through unforgettable stories involving Steve Gurney, creative rule-bending, and suffering with grace, she illustrates how forward momentum unlocks answers that planning alone never will. The conversation culminates with a deep dive into Project Athena, the nonprofit Robyn founded to help survivors of medical and traumatic setbacks reclaim identity, confidence, and purpose through team-based endurance adventures.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Commitment is demonstrated by action, not emotion. Feelings can inform decisions, but they should never rule them. Forward momentum creates clarity; standing still creates fear. Innovation comes from operating in the white space. Helping others is the healthiest outlet for ego. Identity is shaped by comeback stories, not setbacks. NOTABLE QUOTES: “ I show my commitment to my goals by what I do, regardless of how I feel.” - Robyn Benincasa “ Commitment starts when the fun stops, right? I mean, you're not actually showing your commitment until shit's not fun anymore.” - Robyn Benincasa “There's a difference between...

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute, discusses his methodology, Emotional Resolution (EMRS), which addresses emotional imprints through somatic neuroscience. Inspired by his grandfather's resilience post-WWII, Cedric developed EMRS to help individuals resolve emotional patterns by feeling physical sensations without control. He explains that the brain predicts emotions based on past experiences, often rooted in trauma, and EMRS allows these predictions to play out naturally, updating the brain's response. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cedric-bertelli Highlights from today's episode include: Emotions are outdated predictions: Debilitating emotions are often outdated predictions from the brain, triggered when current stimuli resemble elements from past traumatic moments. The body then recreates old physical sensations (interoception), even when they're no longer relevant. Resolution by fully feeling sensations (90 seconds) : If a person can safely stay with the raw physical sensations of an emotion—without trying to regulate, fix, or control them—the interoceptive wave naturally completes within about 30–90 seconds, and the brain updates its prediction, so the same stimulus no longer triggers that reaction. Stop building stories; stay with the body: Manon emphasizes the importance of not creating or feeding mental stories about what we feel. By witnessing the emotion innocently and staying with the body's sensations rather than the narrative, we allow real resolution instead of reinforcing the pattern. ABOUT CEDRIC BERTELLI: Cedric Bertelli is the founder of the Emotional Health Institute and co-developer of Emotional Resolution® & EmRes®, a somatic, neuroscience-based approach for resolving emotional imprints. Before dedicating himself to emotional health, Cedric spent more than a decade in the hospitality industry, including leadership roles with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he developed a deep understanding of human behavior and service. Over the past 15 years, he has trained practitioners across the world, guided thousands of clients, and partnered with researchers at UCLA and UCSF to advance the scientific foundations of EmRes. His work focuses on making emotional healing simple, effective, and accessible so people can live with greater clarity, ease, and resilience. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to help people reconnect with their natural capacity to resolve emotional pain. Not to manage it, not to suppress it, and not to build workarounds around it — but to truly resolve it at the physiological level so they can live with more freedom, presence, and ease. – Facebook | Instagram | Website | LinkedIn | YouTube | ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Send us a textIn case you missed it, I'm reposting this episode because it seems to come up over and over and over. Even if you've listened before, maybe hearing it again will bring fresh light. Ever say the “right thing” and watch it land the wrong way? We unpack three phrases that sound supportive but often sting—calm down, everything happens for a reason, and let me know if you need anything—and trade them for language that actually regulates, validates, and helps. Drawing on real-world therapy experience, we explain why timing and purpose matter more than perfect wording, and how to align what you say with what the moment needs.We start by exploring how high emotions change what people can hear. Instead of commanding feelings, we focus on co-regulation and presence: I'm here with you, I hear you, let's take a breath together. You'll learn simple de-escalation scripts for anger and anxiety, how to avoid accidentally shaming someone for not being “in control,” and when to keep words minimal and concrete if safety is a concern.Then we tackle platitudes. Meaning-making has a place, but not at the peak of pain. We share alternatives that invite story and honor timing: that sounds really hard, what else happened, where does it hurt most today. Finally, we replace vague offers with specific, doable help that people can accept without planning energy: I can bring dinner Thursday or Saturday; I'll text Friday to check in; I can watch the kids for two hours this weekend. These small changes turn good intentions into real support.If you're ready to make your words matter for good, press play for clear phrases, practical tools, and a kinder way to show up.

Twenty-one year old reporter Kabir Jagram says young men in South Africa are stoic. Holding back emotions is a survival mechanism in a country wracked with youth unemployment and that can lead to serious mental health issues. So, how then, as a young man himself struggling with expressing feelings, did Kabir manage to produce a captivating radio documentary about emotions?

Do you feel heavier, more tired, or spiritually foggy during the darker winter months? Let's talk honestly about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what's actually happening in your body, how reduced light affects your emotions and motivation, and why this struggle doesn't mean your faith is weak. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't always announce itself clearly. For many women, it shows up quietly, through lower energy, emotional heaviness, irritability, foggy thinking, or a sense of spiritual distance they can't quite explain. In this episode, I wanted to make this real and human by sharing stories from three women, Chrissie, Melody, and Beth, whose experiences reveal how differently Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect emotions, energy, and faith, especially in darker seasons. This conversation isn't about diagnosing yourself or forcing solutions. It's about understanding what darkness does to the body and nervous system, and how God meets us with compassion instead of shame. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Real and Why It Affects So Many Women [04:00] What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder and How Does Reduced Light Impact Emotions and Energy?

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Krista Moreland, one of our incredible functional health coaches here at Vital Spark, to share her story, her breaking point, and the moment that changed everything. Krista joined our team in early 2025 with over a decade of coaching experience, but her journey goes far deeper than credentials. Before motherhood, she was a two-sport college athlete whose identity was built on discipline, performance, and mental toughness. Then she became a mom, and everything she thought she knew about herself began to shift.Krista opens up about navigating early motherhood while caring for a medically complex baby, including her son's heart surgery at just four months old. She shares the shame, fear, and invisible stress she carried, and how food became her unexpected escape during that season. As a former athlete who had never used food emotionally, this struggle left her feeling confused and lost inside her own body. We talk about the identity shock no one prepares women for, especially high-achieving moms who are used to holding it all together.Krista takes us into the quiet breaking point that happened in her bathtub, where she realized no one was coming to rescue her. That moment wasn't about weight loss, but about choosing herself again. We explore how healing her relationship with food and her body changed the way she showed up as a mom, partner, and woman. This conversation is for any woman who feels like she used to know who she was and is ready to find her way back.

SEO TitleBrené Brown: Atlas of the Heart | Emotional Intelligence, Naming Emotions & Values-Based Living (Moonshots Podcast #283)What if the key to personal growth, better relationships, and stronger leadership isn't doing more—but understanding what you feel?In Moonshots Podcast Episode 283, Mike and Mark explore Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown, a groundbreaking framework for building emotional intelligence through language, courage, and clarity. Brené challenges us to notice the emotional patterns we repeat—and asks whether avoiding certain feelings is quietly limiting our growth.This episode begins with a powerful intervention: if we want different results in life, we must be willing to feel what we've been unwilling to feel before. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience, Brené explains why “naming is taming”—how accurately labeling emotions reduces emotional reactivity and restores choice.Mike and Mark unpack key emotional states such as envy, comparison, and schadenfreude, reframing them through a team mindset inspired by Abby Wambach. Instead of seeing others' success as a threat, we learn how emotional awareness helps us move from scarcity to connection.The episode closes with a practical exploration of emotional regulation vs. emotional suppression, showing how emotions can become reliable data—guiding us toward values-based decisions, intentional living, and healthier relationships.
