Podcasts about fixations

In this brand-new Fixations segment, Anne and Frances reveal the companies and tools they've been fixated on recently—and the lessons we can learn from what they're getting right. Frances tells the story of how The Farmer's Dog saved dinnertime for her pets and champions Blackmagic Design's switcher device as a game-changer for remote presentations. Anne recounts her 5-star experience with Waymo's self-driving cars and makes the case for manila folders. For the full text transcript, visit ted.com/podcasts/fixable-transcripts Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 2 of our series, we return to Freud's idea of fixation, the sense of being stuck at a childhood stage where some need was left unmet. Why do some of us chew pens when anxious, insist on perfect order, or crave attention again and again? These are not flaws but messages from younger parts of ourselves.This episode explores what fixation means in daily life, why Freud's theory is both insightful and limited, and how modern thinkers like Daniel Siegel, Daniel Goleman, Carl Rogers, and Viktor Frankl help us reframe it. Through relatable examples and practices, we discover how to transform old patterns into sources of self-awareness and growth.Instead of labeling ourselves, we learn to listen with compassionand find that fixation is not where our story ends, but where a new chapter begins.

À l'occasion de sa revue de presse, vendredi, Paul Arcand réagit à la décision de la Chine d'imposer des droits de douane de 125 % sur les produits américains en riposte aux tarifs précédemment annoncés par Donald Trump. Dès samedi, les tarifs imposés par le géant chinois passent donc de 84 à 125 %. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle escalade dans cette guerre commerciale qui fait la pluie et le beau temps sur les marchés boursiers. «L'une des inquiétudes, c'est la récession et l'inflation, donc l'augmentation du prix du panier d'épicerie. Quand vous regardez les bourses, du côté américain, ça a glissé quand même pas mal jeudi. Du côté de l'Asie, vendredi matin, on encaisse des pertes importantes...» Autres sujets abordés Les trois fixations de Trump : les tarifs, les immigrants et le Groenland Est-ce qu’on doit interdire à une employée de cafétéria dans une école de porter le hidjab ?

Sarah's getting some new wheels, and let's just say she's probably going to make a lot of lesbian friends thanks to her vehicle. Susie is still trying to successfully do one pull-up, and has a message for anyone working towards a goal. Plus, she reports back about her experience with her colonoscopy alternative and the hilarious instructions she got about collecting her...specimen. We discuss a documentary about a man who caught a foul ball at a Cubs game and it almost ruined his life. We talk about the person who got a croissant lamp from Temu that was made of an actual croissant. A man had a Lego brick stuck up his nose for 26 years (unbeknownst to him!), and we hear how he got it out and why in the world he didn't know all this time. We learn about the latest museum calamity where a little boy broke a vase from the Bronze Age.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Head to https://www.factormeals.com/braincandy50 and use code braincandy50 to get 50% off your first box plus 20% off your next month.Get an exclusive 20% off your first order at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYGet $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/BRAINCANDY to start your subscription!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hi my loves

Episode 126. This week I discuss sexual fixations.

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, Seth "Creek" Creekmore and Lee Fields start their series on the vices, virtues and fixations. They first discuss the origin and evolution of these terms before they get more specific with the nine different Enneagram types.Connect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodThe Instinctual Biases and Subtypes Weekend Workshop: subtypesworkshop.comLee Fields:Web: enneagrammatic.comIG: @enneagrammaticMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

We always love when a tangent rolls along, then we have a dedicated time and space to actually go off topic, but still stay on topic, you know? Anyway, when we're not recording this podcast we fill our time with other fixations, and sometimes you're just so immersed in those fixations that you need to tell the world know about them. Sometimes you even find new interests by listening to people tell you about the things they are truly passionate about, it's infectious. So that's what we're doing, and we hope you enjoy our past times as much as we do.   Donate monthly here: https://www.patreon.com/orsotheysaypod Or a once off here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T22PHA8NAUTPN  And don't forget to swing by here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/orsotheysaypod/shop

Happy Winter Solstice everyone! I hope this long night finds you safe, cozy, healthy, and content as we move into another cycle around the sun together. While we're taking this time to slow down, gather with family, & hopefully have time away from work and obligation, I wanted to offer some thoughts on giving yourself a big internal hug as well.On this identify & Heal solo episode, I'm sharing about the importance of taking time to find the parts of our emotional body that could use some nurturing, comfort, and attention during this time of rest. Acknowledging all that you have accomplished, overcome, & all the growth you've had this year. I also share how giving ourself that deep Divine Feminine nourishment is the key to releasing codependent fixations before we move into a New Year.Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

Regret is not inherently a bad thing to experience. In its initial stage regret can enable us to realize that we do not prefer the choice or action we made in a situation and would act differently in the future. Regret can keep us chained to the past, however, if we feel unable to learn from it, release it, and move on. Easier said than done sometimes, especially if we feel that something we did or didn't do changed the course of our lives. So how do we sit with this regret? Make peace with our past and perceived mistakes? it's not always simple and lived regret can feel like torture.On this Divine Feminine solo episode I wanted to address the topic of regret and how to release it. What it can feel like in our minds, bodies, and emotions and how it can weigh us down and keep us feeling apart from our Divine Feminine selves. I share some of my own experience with regret and struggles to let it go. Then I get into how we can make small steps towards making peace with our past decisions, see every experience in our lives as a pivotal piece of our greater growth and evolution, and open ourselves up to fully live our lives free from codependent hang ups.Spirit Animal Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid, https://www.hayhouse.com/the-spirit-animal-oracle-card-deckJoin the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

You have probably heard about the passion of each Enneagram type, but there is not a lot of discussion around the fixations of each type. Just like passions are the core of the lower emotional center, fixations are the core of the lower mental center. Each Enneagram type has its own narrow way of viewing the world, which structures the thought patterns that they unconsciously stay stuck in. In this episode, Bea and Uranio discuss the insightful Enneagram topic of fixations and ways in which we can break free from limiting beliefs that stunt our inner work Also, the TOP 5 in this episode are the types that are most likely to be anarchists (a person who rebels against government authority) By the way, you can watch and listen to our episodes now.

Science has a way of inspiring obsession. In this week's episode, both our storytellers spiral deep into a personal all-consuming preoccupation. Part 1: Curtis Chou becomes dogmatic in his quest to correct a person's incorrect fact on the internet. Part 2: Richard Cardillo is determined to uncover a priest's secret to keeping a thriving cactus collection. Curtis Chou is a science communicator, puzzle enthusiast, and all-around adventure seeker. Curtis's preferred bubble tea order is half-sweet strawberry milk tea with pearls and less ice. Richard Cardillo is a six-time Moth StorySLAM winner who's appeared on The Moth Radio Hour and the Moth podcast. He is featured on The Best of RISK! #12 podcast. He's performed at Story Collider, RISK!, Yum's the Word, PBS Stories From The Stage, and Big Irv's Storytelling Show. Rich is a passionate bread baker and, yes, has gone to that quirky (scary?) place of naming his 16-year-old sourdough starter.  Rich is also a 25-year resident of NYC's Lower East Side and has been an educator for over three decades on two continents and in three languages. He's instructed on all levels from preschool to graduate programs, considering himself still more of a learner than a teacher....but always a storyteller! Learn more about your ad choices.
