What if conflict is not a sign that something is wrong, but proof that something matters, and we were never taught how to handle it?In this eye-opening episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Kimberly Best, RN, MA, a mediator and conflict management expert who spent years in critical care before dedicating her career to helping people navigate the conversations they avoid most.Kimberly explains why conflict is normal, why silence often causes more damage than honesty, and how emotional regulation and curiosity can completely change outcomes in marriage, parenting, divorce, and the workplace. Drawing from lived experience, mediation practice, and deep compassion, this conversation reframes conflict as a skill set problem rather than a people problem and offers practical tools listeners can use immediately.5 Key Takeaway → Conflict is normal and does not mean a relationship is broken → Silence and avoidance often cause more harm than difficult conversations → The person is not the problem. The problem is the problem → Emotions are information and learning to regulate them changes everything → Listening with curiosity creates better outcomes than trying to be rightQuotes from the Guest“The most important conversations are often the ones we are not having.”“Conflict is normal. We do not have people problems. We have a skill set problem."If you want to learn how to have hard conversations without damaging relationships, connect with Kimberly Best at bestconflictsolutions.com to explore her conflict management training, mediation services, and speaking programs.

In this episode, Eldra sits down with Kentric Devone McKoy for a powerful conversation about prison, emotional healing, faith, and freedom. Kendrick shares his journey from a childhood marked by abuse and suppressed emotion, through decades in the California prison system, to life after release as a truck driver, minister, and mentor. He speaks candidly about how unresolved anger followed him wherever he went and how prison became the place where he first learned to name, understand, and feel his emotions.  

Emotions run high for the Gordon family, and Kenton finds himself caught in the middle.

Une lecture plus juste, plus apaisante, qui vous permettra d'arrêter de vous juger.Ce que vous allez découvrir dans cet épisode :Comment reconnaître la saison dans laquelle vous vous trouvez aujourd'huiPourquoi vouloir rester “en été” en permanence mène à l'épuisementEn quoi les phases de ralentissement et de bilan sont indispensables à la suitePourquoi le repos, le vide et la jachère ne sont pas des échecs, mais des passages nécessairesComment préparer le terrain d'un nouveau départ sans forcer ni vous jugerSi vous traversez une période où l'enthousiasme n'est plus là, où vous doutez, où vous vous demandez si “c'est fini pour vous”, cet épisode est une invitation à changer de regard.

This past week really tested my need for control. I had a lot going on emotionally as I was getting ready to travel back to New York to honor the passing of my Aunt Ronnie. There was a snowstorm moving across the country, flights were being delayed and canceled, and plans kept changing. Emotions were already high, and with everything unfolding the way it was, I had to keep reminding myself that there were things outside of my control that I just had to accept. As the week unfolded, I could feel anxiety start to creep in with all the unknowns. I can't control the weather or the flights, but I can control how present I stay and how I choose to show up in the middle of it. This is a reflection on surrender and releasing that grip. I share a story from my teenage years as a lifeguard, helping a frightened little girl learn how to float, and how breath, trust, and letting go allowed her to be supported by the water. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down and reflect on where you may be holding on too tightly, and become aware of what you can control or release to help you discover peace and freedom amidst the uncertainty. When you notice anxiety, stress, fear, or a lack of safety coming up, how much of that is a need for control, and how much might be a trigger from something else? Are you able to identify the root of that emotion and consider how you might respond differently so you can reduce anxiety, stress, or fear? How do you gain awareness and focus on the present, when you're facing resistance or situations that are outside of your control? Is there an area of your life where you realize that you may be trying to control something that isn't actually yours to control? As you take yourself on a Wise Walk, can you notice what's triggering your stress and consider whether more realistic expectations might help you feel supported and grounded? Can you visualize yourself floating, breathing, and being supported by what's around you, trusting that you are safe and worthy, exactly as you are? Are there tasks or goals in your life that are distracting you from where you want to go, or are they supporting you in feeling more at peace and showing up the way you want? Can you feel good about the small steps you're taking so that even when things don't go as planned, you know you that did what you could? If circumstances don't allow you to show up in the way you originally intended, how might you still be present in a different way, whether in spirit, intention, or connection? Can you shift your energy away from needing things to happen in a very specific way and open yourself to new ways of participating through the things you can control? It's my hope that we can float together. That we can surrender, release, and find a little more peace, letting Mother Nature, the water, and the elements support us along the way.  As always, I'd love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so please feel free to reach out and send me a DM.  I'm sending good thoughts your way and hoping that you feel supported in all the ways that really matter to you. I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk. In this episode: [03:44] When I was in high school I was a lifeguard at the Marriott Hotel. I remember helping a five-year-old girl who had a fear of floating.  [05:55] I coached her on how to let go and to let the water do the work for her. She needed to release anxiety, stress, and control. The more she released her tension and grip, the easier it became for her to float. [06:19] This is true in life. If we're resisting, we're fighting against the grain. Accepting safety and support can appear in a way that we're not used to. [07:01] The art of surrendering is what will keep us afloat. I needed to remind myself of this during this stressful week with so many factors coming into play. [08:08] The best thing I can do is surrender and do the things I can control. We need to see surrender as a strength. It's not defeat. [09:20] I'm also separating from holding on too tightly, expecting things to happen the way that I want them to. [10:47] I feel safe and supported right now from the Universe and the individuals who decide whether it's safe to fly or not. [11:08] I'm going to stay in my lane, and visualize myself floating in the water.

What happens when you stop numbing, stop performing, and finally face what's been running the show beneath the surface? In this powerful episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh reconnects with Jesse Elder for a raw conversation about sovereignty, emotional excavation, and becoming a whole human being. Jesse shares what led him to step away from business, confront long-standing patterns, and do deep embodiment work that uncovered how anger, sadness, and abandonment have shaped his life and leadership. Together, they explore why growth has no finish line, how emotional resilience is built through presence rather than avoidance, and the difference between real inner work and performative vulnerability. The conversation also weaves in faith, spirituality, masculine conditioning, and Jesse's philosophy on future-self alignment and “time piercing.” In this episode, Darius and Jesse will discuss: (00:00) Diving Deep: Personal Journeys and Self-Discovery (02:46) The Illusion of Destination: Understanding Life's Continuum (05:38) Navigating Emotions: The Onion of Self-Discovery (08:11) Sovereignty and Energy: Reclaiming Personal Power (11:18) Embodiment Work: Making Friends with Emotions (13:58) The Role of Faith and Spirituality in Personal Growth (16:45) The Game of Life: Levels and Challenges (19:18) Time Piercing: Accessing Past and Future Selves (22:09) The Power of Memory: Transforming Past Experiences (25:19) Creating a New Narrative: The Art of Reframing (28:07) The Time Piercer Tour: A Journey of Self-Discovery Jesse Elder is an action philosopher, performance coach, and motivational speaker who helps people create lives of freedom, purpose, and fulfillment.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with an important look at what role emotions should play in our lives. Many of us are led by emotion in our every daily actions and decisions, in our thought life, in relationships, and even in our life direction. As Leslie shares in this episode, emotions in themselves are not wrong, but they must be governed by the Spirit of God. In this message, Leslie unpacks principles for being led by Truth, rather than merely following our feelings.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

If you're a mom today, chances are you've asked yourself some version of this question: "Why does my child melt down over the smallest things; and what am I supposed to do in the moment?" You're not alone. Parents are overwhelmed by big emotions, unpredictable reactions, and advice that sounds good in theory but falls apart in real life. Being told to "use your words" in the middle of a meltdown rarely works. Ignoring behavior feels wrong. And consequences without connection often make things worse. What parents are really looking for are strategies that work in kitchens, cars, grocery stores, and bedrooms at bedtime, not just in parenting books. Let's talk about what actually helps children regulate their emotions, why it works, and how you can use it consistently in everyday moments. In today's episode of Equipped To Be Connie covers: How to Regulate Your Emotions, Relate to Your Child, So You Can Redirect Your Child. -->Behavior Is Communication, Not Defiance Before any strategy can help, parents need one stabilizing reframe. -->Big Emotions Are a Signal, Not a Character Flaw Emotional regulation always starts with the parent. -->A Dysregulated Parent Cannot Regulate a Dysregulated Child -->Relate Before You Redirect Connection is what opens the door to cooperation. -->Naming Feelings Helps the Brain Settle -->Redirect with Clear, Simple Expectations When emotions run high, less language is more effective. Tune in for more practical ways to help you learn the best way to redirect your child in the middle of meltdowns and outbursts without losing your cool.

When you've spent most of your adult life believing your body has to look a certain way to be desirable, it can feel impossible to think anything different. In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer a listener who feels stuck believing her body must change for men to be attracted to her, even after years of thought work. I also respond to a question about struggling to identify emotions beyond anxiety and feeling empty or disconnected. I explain why strong emotions are often the easiest to access at first, what it actually means to describe a feeling physically, and how learning to stay with sensations without judgment builds emotional awareness over time.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: schoolofnewfeministthought.com/463Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/

Rebecca Geshuri, therapist and co-author of the new book When Good Moms Feel Bad joins me to talk about why so many "good moms" still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in cycles of guilt, anger, and self-criticism.   Together we explore:   - Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) Rebecca breaks down what "parts work" is and how understanding your inner parts can reduce reactivity and shame. - How polarization between "what my child needs" and "what I need" fuels burnout and emotional overwhelm. - Why parenting feels hardest when younger, protective parts take over. - What the "inner mom" is and how learning to access this part of yourself builds calm, confidence, and connection. - A simple framework to slow down in triggering moments and respond with more compassion. - How self-compassion and nervous system awareness support secure attachment — for both you and your child.   If you've been feeling overwhelmed and burnt out in parenthood, this episode offers validation, language for what you're experiencing, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded, regulated, and connected.       LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# Do your emotions affect your physical body? The answer is yes—both spiritually and scientifically. In this powerful teaching, Kathy DeGraw explains how fear, stress, anxiety, and worry release harmful chemicals such as cortisol that weaken the immune system, increase inflammation, and contribute to sickness and disease. At the same time, faith, gratitude, worship, and trust in God activate peace-filled chemicals like dopamine and serotonin that promote healing, restoration, and physical well-being. This episode reveals the connection between emotional health, spiritual warfare, and physical healing. Fear and faith release opposite chemical responses in the body, and repeated negative emotions can quietly sabotage health over time. Kathy shares biblical truth, neuroscience insights, and practical strategies to help you take authority over your thought life and emotions so your body can function the way God designed it to. You will learn how worship and gratitude calm the nervous system, how faith invites divine healing, and how renewing your mind aligns your body with God's promises. If you are battling anxiety, chronic stress, or physical illness, this teaching will empower you to shift from fear-based living into faith-filled freedom.

In Week 4 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Jason Britt shifts our focus to the inner strength available through the Holy Spirit. We often treat the Spirit as an optional guest, but Ephesians 3 reminds us that He is the source of our power, intended to dwell in our hearts through faith. Drawing from Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19, this message explores what it looks like to be "rooted and grounded" in God's love. It's not just about knowing about God; it's about being filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. If you have felt spiritually depleted or disconnected, this message will help you tap into the "glorious riches" of His strength.   Key takeaways from Week 4: Inner Strength: How the Spirit strengthens your "inner being" to handle outward pressure. The Dwelling: Moving from the Spirit visiting your life to the Spirit residing in your heart. The Dimensions of Love: Grasping the width, length, height, and depth of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.

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

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 ?

Today, I want to talk about dogs again. If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you already know this isn't the first time I've brought up dogs. Dogs are one of those topics we can come back to again and again, because each time we look at them from a different angle, we discover something new.  Get the transcript here: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/370-how-dogs-communicate-emotions/

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.

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. This episode is a masterclass in leadership under pressure, culture design, and why the ability to suffer well — together — is a competitive advantage in business and in life. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00 – Robyn explains commitment through action, not emotion. 02:00 – Dwayne connects mentorship, influence, and leadership responsibility. 05:00 – Why being willing to be a beginner fuels innovation. 07:30 – Failure, repetition, and learning through action. 10:30 – Why preparation paralysis keeps people stuck. 13:30 – Emotions, discipline, and not letting feelings run your life. 16:00 – “Winning is that way” and the mindset shift that sparks innovation. 18:30 – Steve Gurney stories and thinking inside the rules vs. white space. 22:00 – Team selection, culture fit, and suffering equally. 26:00 – Ego vs. confidence and rotating leadership by strength. 30:00 – Why top-down leadership fails in complex environments. 34:00 – Relinquishing ego to avoid slowing the entire team down. 38:00 – Project Athena's mission and creating comeback identities. 43:00 – How shared suffering builds lifelong trust and leadership. 48:00 – “Excellent suffering” and using adversity as an advantage. 52:00 – Robyn's six hip surgeries and redefining resilience. 54:00 – Where to find Robyn, Project Athena, and closing reflections. 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...

Parenting doesn't happen in calm, quiet moments—it happens in the middle of exhaustion, big emotions, pressure, and the everyday grind. This conversation speaks to parents who feel overwhelmed by their child's emotions and their own, and want to respond with wisdom instead of regret. Sean breaks down how to stay grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected when life feels nonstop and messy, offering practical shifts that help parents lead their homes with clarity, calm, and confidence—even on the hardest days.

Twenty-one year old reporter Kabir Jagram says young men in South Africa are stoic.
