Podcasts about five senses

We discuss how to ask connective questions that spark stories, how to uplift others, and why praise is the ultimate rapport builder. Perfect for leaders, teammates, and anyone looking to improve their social impact.

Send us a textWhen life blurs into one long multitask, presence can feel like a luxury. We offer a human, doable way back: a five-senses gratitude practice that anchors attention in what you can actually feel and notice right now. No jargon, no fluff—just practical steps and real examples that help your mind settle and your body exhale.We start with the problem so many of us face: work, family, and friends all competing for the same mental space. Then we map a straightforward framework—vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch—that you can run anywhere. Think sunsets that widen your breath, a child's voice that lifts your mood, the kitchen smells that take you home, a bite that slows you down, and the grounding of a hand held or a pet's calm weight. Each sense becomes a doorway to presence, and the more specific you get, the faster you arrive.You'll hear simple prompts to create your own five, plus ways to use them during transitions: before a meeting, walking into your house, or winding down at night. We share why sensory detail works on the nervous system, how it interrupts rumination, and how a 60‑second practice can make your day feel more spacious. If you're craving less noise and more clarity, this approach meets you where you are and gives you control over your focus without adding another heavy routine.Try it today: list one thing you're grateful for in each sense and watch your attention click into place.

In this week's episode of Thrive Beyond Size, Michelle takes you to a tiny table in Canmore, Alberta, where a seven-course chef's tasting menu becomes so much more than “just dinner.” After choosing the vegan “gatherer” menu, she's guided through each course like a story—learning where the ingredients came from, how the flavors and textures play together, and what each dish is designed to awaken. Somewhere between the foraged mushrooms and a pot pie-level craving for something creamy and warm, Michelle realizes how present she feels: quiet mind, soft body, senses sharpened. From there, she unpacks why our senses aren't decorative when it comes to eating—they're biologically woven into digestion, satisfaction, and safety. She breaks down sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste as core parts of attuned eating, explores how diet culture has taught us to fear pleasure, and explains why satisfaction is a biological need, not an indulgence. Finally, she invites you to experiment with one meal this week where you let all five senses guide you, not as a performance, but as a way of coming home to your body.In this episode, you'll hear about:Michelle's seven-course tasting menu experience in Canmore and how it unexpectedly woke something up inside herHow sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste are all biologically tied into digestion and satisfactionWhy beautifully plated food, enticing smells, and even the clink of cutlery can change how nourished you feelThe role of texture and temperature in attuned eating (and how “creamy and hot and smooth” led her straight to halibut pot pie)How diet culture makes pleasure suspicious and teaches us to distrust foods that taste “too good”Why satisfaction is a biological need and how lack of satisfaction fuels feeling out of control around foodWhat happens in your body when you shift into “rest and digest” and eat from a place of nervous system safetyA simple experiment you can try with one meal this week to engage all five senses and notice what softens and what awakensIf you try this five-senses experiment with a meal, Michelle would love to hear how it goes.

Co-Host Catherine Auman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/catherine) My first-time guest Catherine Auman talks frequently about "tantric dating", which involves dating with all five senses. As men, modern technology might very well have led us to focus primarily on seeing and hearing, forsaking the other three senses. So first off, what is Tantric Dating about in general? Why is being "friends first" so common in other cultures, but basically the relationship kiss of death here in the West? What do dogs know that humans don't, when it comes to Tantra? We hear all the time how we as men are "visual" when it comes to women and attraction. Is that actually all there is to it, though? And if Tantra is all about connection, could social media and the "pandemic of loneliness" explain much of the disconnect between our five senses and our dating lives? Is it true that today's dating world actually discourages people from meeting and having interesting conversations? How weird is that? How is being "spoiled for choice", at least ostensibly, ruining our ability to discern who's right for us? What's another way to think about how taste matters in the dating world, above and beyond the obvious?  And how can we as men become more sensual in general, to the delight of women? What are the ways most "normal" guys are completely missing out on the best parts of sex by rushing things? Why did we all miss the point of the movie 9 1/2 Weeks in the '80s? But then again, what do young adults know about sex that we tend to, well...forget as we get older and more jaded? Finally, is there any room in this discussion for a potential sixth sense? The answer may surprise you...and propel your sex life to new heights.

Paige, Jenny, and Cathy dive into Life in Five Senses by Gretchen Rubin, exploring how slowing down and tuning into everyday sensory experiences can deepen our connection to the world around us.  The group reflects on what it means to truly notice life's small details — from familiar walks and neighborhood scents to unexpected sensory discoveries. Paige shares a funny story about confusing skunk and weed smells, while Cathy describes counting bunnies and exploring during her travels. Together, they discuss how this awareness can enrich both personal life and professional practice, especially in the field of visual impairment.  They also chat about bringing sensory awareness into education, mindfulness, and daily routines — and how paying attention to what we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch can help us find joy in familiar places.  Jenny, Paige, and Cathy close by reflecting on how each of them plans to slow down and savor the sensory world a little more.  "Life in 5 Senses" by Gretchen Ruben ⁠https://gretchenrubin.com/books/life-in-five-senses/⁠  ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Life-Five-Senses-Exploring-World/dp/0593442741⁠ Use the Libby app to check this book out from your local library! https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6144.htm  We love voicemail!

Why relying on your five senses makes no sense if you have already decided that your desire is yours? And why, if you do keep reacting to that it delaying the manifestation of your desire?These are the questions that I answer in today's podcast episode.To join my Living as Source community, go here: https://sylviane-nuccio.thinkific.com/One on One Coaching: https://www.manifestingwithsylviane.com/store/60-minute-coaching-session/YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@manifestingwithsylviane

This week on This Week in Barbecue, we're talking Texas pride, Costco samples, and Hamburger Helper sales climbing like briskets in a smokehouse. Sheed digs into whether barbecue joints should give away samples like it's a Saturday at Costco, while James runs through Southern Living's “Top 50 BBQ in the South” list and questions if City Limits BBQ in South Carolina deserves its crown. We shout out Peg Leg Porker's booming whiskey side hustle (they need extra hands just to bottle it), laugh at some of the funniest barbecue signs you've ever seen, and touch on the economics of Hamburger Helper's surprising comeback. From Erica “Bluesmoke” Blair's judging comeback to the sensory magic that makes barbecue more than just food, this episode is a full plate. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe rethink how many senses you're using when you fire up the pit.

In this conversation, Gary Thomas joins me as we explore the intricacies of married intimacy, focusing on the importance of emotional connection and the five senses in enhancing sexual experiences. We discuss how cultural perspectives shape our understanding of intimacy, the significance of touch, sound, taste, sight, and smell, and how these elements can be integrated to create a richer, more fulfilling experience. Gary emphasizes the need for couples to adapt to changes in their sexual dynamics over time and to embrace new possibilities for connection.

Using the Five Senses to Buy & Sell Homes on the South Shore At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe buying or selling a home isn't just about numbers on a page it's about creating a full experience. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, hosts Melissa Wallace and Tracy Grady explored how the five senses sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch play a surprisingly big role in real estate decisions. Whether you're preparing your home for sale or stepping into an open house, here's how engaging each sense can make or break the experience. 1. Sight: First Impressions Matter Buyers often decide within moments whether they'll fall in love with a property. That's why curb appeal is essential. Outside: Freshly mowed lawns, seasonal flowers, a clean driveway, and a freshly painted front door can instantly elevate a home's appearance. Inside: Decluttered countertops, neutral wall colors, updated light fixtures, and plenty of natural light create a welcoming feel. Professional photography and videography also ensure your online listing captures attention. Melissa and Tracy stressed that photos should be kept seasonally neutral. While festive pumpkins or holiday lights are charming, they can quickly date a listing if a home lingers on the market Talk Real Estate 09-20-25 . 2. Sound: Setting the Tone From birds chirping in the backyard to the hum of traffic outside, sound shapes how buyers perceive a home. Sellers should: Turn off noisy appliances. Play soft background music during showings. Be mindful of neighborhood sounds sometimes closing windows during a showing makes all the difference. Buyers, on the other hand, should pay attention to what they hear is the neighborhood calm, lively, or something in between? 3. Smell: A Powerful Emotional Trigger Smell has the power to connect people instantly to a memory or emotion. A freshly baked pie, a hint of cinnamon in fall, or just the scent of a freshly cleaned home can leave a lasting impression. Strong or artificial odors, however, can be a turnoff. Sellers should keep things fresh, neutral, and welcoming. 4. Taste: Making the Visit Memorable Taste may not seem like it belongs in real estate but it does. Offering light refreshments at an open house, whether cookies, cider, or even a charcuterie board, makes visitors feel at home. Tracy shared how creative touches like themed charcuterie or hot chocolate stations can help buyers linger longer and imagine themselves hosting in the space. 5. Touch: Comfort & Quality Finally, touch plays a quiet but powerful role. Smooth countertops, sturdy railings, freshly painted walls, or even the feel of plush carpeting all add up. Buyers often run their hands along surfaces unconsciously, and what they feel tells them a lot about the quality and care of the home. The Takeaway Selling or buying a home isn't just about price and paperwork it's about creating a memorable experience. Engaging all five senses ensures buyers feel connected to the space and helps sellers put their best foot forward. At Boston Connect Real Estate, our agents are trained to guide you through every detail whether that means staging your home for maximum impact or helping you look beyond the surface to find the home that truly feels right.

The five senses aren't just physical. They point us to spiritual truths and reveal how God shows up in our daily walk.

In this eye-opening installment of the Why We Buy Summer Book Club series, host Patrick Keiser dives into one of the most overlooked but critically important areas of a retail store: the dressing room. Based on insights from Paco Underhill's retail classic Why We Buy, this episode unpacks why fitting rooms aren't just changing spaces — they're conversion machines.Patrick explores the psychology of the dressing room experience and offers actionable ideas for independent retailers looking to boost sales without a major renovation. From lighting and mirrors to comfort, privacy, and customer service, every detail counts — and can make the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity.✅ In this episode: Why customers spend up to 30% of their shopping time in dressing rooms The small improvements that can double a customer's purchase rate Lighting strategies that make everyone (and every body) look great The role of mirrors, placement, and new “smart” technology How sales associates can make or break the dressing room experience Creative ideas for turning even a tiny fitting room into a powerful sales tool Whether you're outfitting a clothing boutique or considering how customer touchpoints drive conversion, this episode will challenge you to rethink how every square foot of your store contributes to the sale.

In this episode of Main Street Matters, we turn our attention to one of the most overlooked tools in your retail arsenal: signage. As part of our Why We Buy Summer Book Club series, host Patrick Keiser breaks down why great signs do more than inform — they guide, persuade, and create memorable in-store experiences.Drawing from Paco Underhill's classic retail research, Patrick explores how signs influence customer behavior, the psychological patterns behind reading (or ignoring) signs, and why placement, font, tone, and branding matter more than you think.✅ In this episode: Why only 17% of shoppers notice signs — and how to grab their attention What the “Closed” sign can teach us about human behavior How sign placement and font size can improve customer flow and accessibility Why signs should reflect your brand's voice and personality Tools and platforms (like Canva!) for creating pro-quality signs The do's and don'ts of exterior, category, and point-of-sale signage Whether you're launching a new store or refining a seasoned space, this episode is full of practical, easy-to-implement tips to help you use signs to boost engagement, clarify navigation, and increase sales.

In this sixth installment of our Why We Buy Summer Book Club series, host Patrick Keiser takes a thoughtful look at how age and physical ability shape the way customers shop — and what retailers can do to make their stores more accessible, inclusive, and profitable.Drawing on key insights from Paco Underhill's classic Why We Buy, Patrick explores the realities of designing retail environments that meet the needs of older shoppers, customers with limited mobility, and even the littlest consumers — kids. From product placement and visibility to shelf height and signage, this episode is filled with practical strategies to help retailers serve a wider audience and create better shopping experiences for everyone.✅ In this episode: Why older shoppers avoid lower shelves — and how that impacts your layout How vision, arthritis, and mobility issues affect purchase decisions Creating space for children as both influencers and future customers Tips for merchandising by age group (and why it matters) The importance of stroller-friendly aisles and accessible basket placement Why teens and tweens deserve design attention too Whether you're trying to better serve an aging customer base, increase sales with families, or simply make your store more user-friendly, this episode will help you see your shop with fresh eyes — and build a space that welcomes everyone.

Send us a textWhat separates true creators from casual observers? The difference lies not in talent, but in how deeply they engage with their sensory experiences. As host Amakri Isoboye explores in this thought-provoking episode, creativity flourishes when we move beyond superficial perception to develop intimate relationships with our sensory inputs. Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's observation that most humans "look without seeing, listen without hearing," Amakri invites listeners into the creative realm—a space where ordinary perceptions transform into extraordinary creations.Through personal anecdotes about his chef wife's relationship with ingredients and musicians who hear notes as living entities speaking to one another, Amakri reveals how creators in every field—from cuisine to music, fashion to fragrance—develop a heightened sensory awareness that allows them to access creative dimensions closed to those operating on autopilot.The creative process demands patience but rewards with unparalleled fulfillment. Whether you're crafting songs, stories, meals, or solutions, your creativity serves as a portal through which something new enters the world. This isn't creativity for creativity's sake, but a meaningful response to humanity's hunger for fresh perspectives and experiences.Ready to transform how you perceive and create? Listen now to discover how your senses can become doorways to something greater—pathways into a creative realm where you don't just look, but truly see; don't just hear, but deeply listen; and don't just exist, but fully experience the world around you.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

Gretchen Rubin is one of today's most influential observers of happiness and human nature. In addition to hosting the award-winning podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, where she shares practical strategies for building a happier, healthier, more creative life, Gretchen is also the bestselling author of The Happiness Project, The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, Life in Five Senses, and now Secrets of Adulthood, a delightful collection of her signature aphorisms—concise, thought-provoking truths gathered from her own experiences and reflections on human nature. Today, Gretchen shares a wealth of bite-sized, digestible truths with Jen and Amy that acknowledge problems everyone faces.  “What we do every day matters more than what we do once in a while.” “Outer order contributes to inner calm.” “A strong voice repels as well as attracts.” “Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.” And our personal favorite, “Choose the bigger life.” Gretchen also delves into the Four Tendencies and helps Jen and Amy unpack their profiles to better understand whether they are an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel.  Anyone want to take bets? Thought-provoking Quotes: “Happier people are  more interested in the problems of the world. And they're more interested in the problems of the people around them. They're more likely to volunteer. They're more likely to vote. They're more likely to donate their time or their money. They're more likely to help out if someone needs a hand. When we're happier, we're able to turn outward and to think about the problems of the world.” – Gretchen Rubin “Action is the antidote to anxiety.” – Gretchen Rubin “There's really no more eloquent way to put this: one of the best ways to make friends is to make friends with the friends of your friends.” – Gretchen Rubin “When we're doing something hard, it feels like the times are hard." – Gretchen Rubin Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage - https://santiago-compostela.net/ Secrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives by Gretchen Rubin - https://amzn.to/4kq8TzF The Happier App - https://thehappierapp.com/ David Sedaris The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin - https://amzn.to/3S9OXox The Four Tendencies Quiz - https://gretchenrubin.com/quiz/the-four-tendencies-quiz/  The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt - https://amzn.to/43iUOgg The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt - https://amzn.to/43tjDaF 5 Things Making Me Happy Newsletter - https://gretchenrubin.com/newsletter/5-things-making-me-happy-september-16-2022/ Sandwich: A Novel by Catherine Newman - https://amzn.to/4m9KGiy Guest's Links: Website - https://gretchenrubin.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gretchenrubin/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GretchenRubin Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/GretchenRubin TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gretchenrubin Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Whether you're renting, buying or renovating, this episode is for you and your happiness…at the place you call home. I chat with Anita Yokota—licensed therapist turned interior designer, whose work blends psychology with interior design to create spaces that truly support you (you might recognize her work from the Drew Barrymore show.) If you've ever felt stuck in the same old routines, drained by cluttered corners, or like your home just isn't lifting you up—this might be why: your environment is running on autopilot, not in sync with your wellbeing. Together, we unpack how home design creates happiness and wellbeing through four mini episodes. This is part 4:  00:17 The Importance of Renewal in Self-Care 03:12 Exploring the Five Senses for Renewal 06:00 Creating Intentional Spaces for Activities 07:55 Evolving Spaces and Personal Growth 08:42 Connecting with Anita and Resources   ✨ Topics in this podcast: Easiest ways to declutter so you FEEL calm at home The 3 neuroscience hacks every home needs How home loops conquer procrastination Why your physical & emotional environments are intertwined Creating healthy boundaries in your home No sledgehammers required—just intention and a few small shifts to make your home feel better than “home.” Share with anyone who you know deserves a more creative space to thrive.

The work of building a life we love is deep and longterm. But along the way, there are small and simple gems of wisdom that can pack a big punch and lead us to “aha” moments. Renowned happiness expert Gretchen Rubin's new book, Secrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives, is full of aphorisms that present those kinds of helpful, concise ideas. Gretchen is the author of many bestselling books, such as The Happiness Project, Better Than Before, The Four Tendencies, and Life in Five Senses. She's also host of the popular podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, which helps people track their happiness-boosting habits. In this episode, Dr. Alexandra and Gretchen use aphorisms from the book to explore themes such as the tension between self-acceptance and wanting to grow, and balancing duty and desire in our relationships. Aphorisms can be wonderful conversation-openers, and this episode may even inspire you to write some of your own!"Your Anxiety Toolkit" on MasterClass: www.masterclass.com/youranxietytoolkitSecrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives by Gretchen RubinAbandon the Empty Nest.

April arrives with 3 feet of new snow in Lake Tahoe, making it feel more like January than spring. PowBot recaps his best tour of the year at Lassen National Park while Trail Whisperer breaks his snowmobile. The boys give some listener shout outs and play some 888 COR LORD call-ins, diving deeper into whether or not solo backcountry skiing is dope or derp and if a van is better suited for adventures than a pickup with 4 Wheel Camper. They also discuss the show's intro and outro songs and where all the sound bites came from, decide which of the five senses are most important to them, chat about corner crossing over private land and the controversial reintroduction of the gray wolf into northern California. The show ends with a song called RNO by Trail Whisperer's old band, Man Downstream, paying tribute to the Biggest Little City in the World. 3:00 – Spring is here and it's still winter! Sinter.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day - and to mark the event, Yale professor Dr Laurie Santos of The Happiness Lab podcast has assembled a crew of fellow hosts from the top wellness shows, a group we're calling The Titans of Happiness. Dr Joy Harden Bradford is a clinical psychologist and host of the podcast Therapy for Black Girls.Gretchen Rubin is the OG of wellbeing experts. She's written many best-selling happiness books - most recently Life in Five Senses and hosts Happier with Gretchen Rubin. Dan Harris was a TV news anchor who - after having a panic attack live on air - promoted mindfulness meditation practices on his hit show 10% Happier. And since she wanted this to be an extra special episode, Dr Laurie invited one extra, extra special guest, Sesame Street's Elmo. Elmo's only three and half, so Samantha Maltin (Chief Branding and Marketing Officer at Sesame Workshop) came along with him.
