Podcasts about flow state

Hey Heal Squad! What does it actually mean to be “in flow”  and can we get there more often on purpose? In this episode, bestselling author and performance coach David Nurse breaks down the science of flow, what's happening in your brain when you're “in the zone,” and why most of us get knocked out of it. He walks us through his proven Flow Code: a simple daily routine using breath, visualization, and mind-body practices that can train your brain toward flow. We also dive into what elite athletes do differently (deep practice, not busy practice), the Flow Trifecta of passion, purpose, and what you actually do for a living, and how uncertainty, distractions, and your environment can quietly block your best performance. If you want clearer focus, less overthinking, and more effortless days, this episode will show you how to start building a more flow-driven life! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Flow is trainable, not accidental: You can literally condition your brain for flow through simple daily practices like breath, visualization, and presence. Your environment and attention shape your energy: Less phone + clearer space = clearer mind. Small changes in your surroundings create big shifts in your flow. Tiny wins build lasting momentum: When you stack simple, intentional habits, confidence compounds,  and flow follows.

Ben Stookesberry paddles kayaks in his home state of Montana, and around the world. In his teen years he learned to make home movies showing off his rollerblading moves, and in college he learned to kayak. Today he blends the paddling and film making as he runs rivers in global settings. He has created deep and lasting friendships in his travels, and returns to rivers again and again, to paddle more stretches, to learn more, and sometimes to engage in protection work. In this episode, Ben talks through all of this with us, and goes into depth about his current paddling and film efforts on the Jatunyacu and Mulatos Rivers in Ecuador.GUESTSBen Stookesberry@benstookesberryBio @ KokatatBio @ Jackson KayakLatest Film:  ¡Ay Chihuahua!Diego Robles:  @ecuskayaker RESOURCESEcuadorian Rivers Institute@ecuadorianriversSteven Donzinger storySavages, book, by Joe Kane PADDLERS TO FOLLOW@ecuskayaker (Diego)@williehenkel@wyatt_doyle@salmonsourcetosea@elizabeth.tobey@brookehess@oceansandmountains (Hailey)@pedroolivakaiak@riverratmountainkat@mayuwarmikayak@teepee_boys SPONSORSDenver Area Nissan Dealers@nissanusa     THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

Episode Overview In this episode, Michael sits down with Steven Puri, a former Hollywood studio executive turned founder of Sukha, to explore career reinvention, sustainable creativity, and the science behind focus and flow. Drawing from Steven's journey through the film industry and his transition into building tools for deep work, the conversation uncovers practical strategies for productivity, work-life balance, and long-term creative success. From Hollywood Sets to Studio Executive Leadership Steven and Michael begin by unpacking Michael's career trajectory in the film industry, from working directly on major motion pictures to stepping into senior executive leadership. Michael shares stories from his time collaborating with renowned directors and how those formative experiences shaped his understanding of storytelling, leadership, and execution. His career evolved into executive roles at DreamWorks as Executive Vice President, where he oversaw high-profile projects including Transformers and Fringe, and later as Vice President at 20th Century Fox, managing large-scale summer action franchises. These experiences laid the foundation for his later work in leadership, burnout prevention, and performance. Crafting Success Through Sustainable Creative Environments Steven shares insights from his own career about the importance of craftsmanship and sustainability, particularly for writers and creative professionals. Rather than relying on bursts of inspiration, he emphasizes designing environments that consistently support deep focus and high-quality output. He highlights examples of successful creatives who intentionally tied their work to specific locations, including writing teams who returned to the same villa in Puerto Vallarta or repeatedly booked the same room at the Universal Hilton to trigger a focused mental state. Steven encourages listeners to identify or create their own dedicated spaces that signal it is time to do meaningful work. Remote Work Rituals and Focus Michael reflects on his early experience working remotely as far back as 2007, long before remote work became mainstream. He explains how he established rituals to mentally transition into and out of work, including maintaining a dedicated workspace, dressing as if going to an office, and even using intentional entry and exit routines to mark the workday. Steven connects this to his own writing on the concept of “commuting to your home office,” reinforcing how rituals can replace the psychological cues that traditional offices once provided. Work-Life Balance, Boundaries, and Productivity As a father and entrepreneur, Michael shares how he learned to balance presence with productivity. He discusses setting clear boundaries during work hours while remaining fully engaged with his children outside of them, a strategy that helped him avoid burnout while maintaining performance. The conversation moves into procrastination and task management, with Michael explaining how breaking large projects into smaller, manageable steps helps reduce resistance. Steven adds insights from his work with Sukha, noting that limiting visible tasks to just three at a time can significantly improve focus and execution. Flow States and High Performance The episode concludes with a deep dive into flow states, drawing on the research of psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Steven and Michael explore how elite performers across industries enter flow and the conditions required to sustain it. Steven shares a pivotal personal experience of entering a deep flow state during a flight, which ultimately inspired the creation of Sukha. The company's name itself came from a user who described how the tool helped them find balance between meaningful work and family life, perfectly capturing the mission behind the platform. Key Takeaways Sustainable success is built through intentional environments and rituals, not constant hustle Flow states can be designed, not left to chance Clear boundaries support both productivity and well-being Limiting task overload is a powerful antidote to burnout and procrastination For more information on Steven Puri and his work, visit https://thesukha.co or reach out directly at https://www.thesukha.co/media

Danny hosts a viewer's version of blind ranking and gets ROASTED, Daniel hits flow state, and Mason questions our sanity in a game of “Word at a Time Story”.

On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.

Body-to-Brain Signal Flow: Modern neuroscience indicates that up to 80% of neurological data flows from the body up to the brain, and optimizing this "body-up" communication is becoming a focus for high-level athletic training. The percentage of American athletes experiencing chronic pain varies significantly depending on the level of competition and sport, with rates ranging from 30% in general athletes to as high as 80%–96% in retired National Football League (NFL) players. According to the National Institute of Health and Student Athlete Scholars. Brandon Day is a two-time national champion, former All-American linebacker, and someone who's been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. But his story doesn't stop on the field. After years battling chronic pain and the mental grind that comes with pushing your body to the limit, Brandon became obsessed with understanding what drives human performance — not just in sports, but in life and business. Now, he's a high-performance coach and the founder of the NeuroFlow Method — a unique system that combines applied neuroscience and flow state coaching to help elite performers break through plateaus, eliminate pain, and unlock their peak physical and cognitive potential. He works with lifelong athletes, business owners, and entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for ‘good enough' — helping them reclaim their energy, their focus, and their edge. If you're someone who knows what it feels like to operate at a high level but wonder if there's another gear — this is the conversation you can't afford to miss.For more information: https://evolvedathlete.coach/ Instagram: @iambrandonday Discover More: https://www.skool.com/evolved/about Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWhat if your problems aren't separate from you — but the very energy that built the version of you who thinks they have problems?That bold idea is at the heart of this conversation with Brian Hubbard — journalist, philosopher, creator of Time-Light, and author of The Untrue Story of You. We follow his path from early neglect and a depressive collapse to a single insight: what you don't fully attend to keeps weighing you down.Time-Light teaches that trauma is stored energy that shapes brain, biochemistry, behavior, and identity. Instead of chasing symptoms like anxiety, anger, or self-sabotage, Brian shows how changing your relationship with time can shift the process creating them. We unpack:The three time selves: present time, psychological past, and narrative memoryWhy unresolved charge explodes when fused with storyGlimpses of no-time states such as awe, love, flow, and presencePractical exercises to view charged memories with compassion and free yourself from their holdBridging spirituality with research in consciousness and intention, Brian offers a precise, compassionate map for anyone looping familiar patterns. If you're ready to step out of time's grip, reclaim presence, and live beyond old stories, this episode is for you.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so others can find the show.Support the showThank you for listening

What if manifestation doesn't fail because you're doing it wrong, but because your nervous system is stuck in survival mode? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Christy Whitman, two-time New York Times bestselling author and transformational teacher, for a grounded, practical conversation about flow, energy mastery, and why so many well-intentioned spiritual practices backfire. Rather than relying on affirmations, vision boards, or spiritual bypassing, Christy explains how true manifestation begins by regulating the nervous system, releasing stored energetic blocks, and shifting from survival consciousness into creator consciousness. This conversation bridges modern spirituality, energy healing, and consciousness work with real-world application, especially for listeners who feel exhausted, stuck, or emotionally reactive despite “doing the work.” In this episode, you'll explore:Why manifestation feels exhausting when practiced from stress instead of flowHow fight-flight-freeze responses sabotage spiritual growth and intuition developmentThe connection between stored trauma, energy blocks, and physical symptomsWhy compassion is the fastest way to regulate the nervous systemHow to stop forcing outcomes and let life actually cooperateWhat a true flow state feels like, without collapsing into vague positivityThe difference between survival consciousness and creator consciousnessHow intuition becomes clearer when energy is alignedWhy detachment is essential to manifestation and soul purpose alignmentChristy also shares deeply personal insights from her decades of work as a spiritual teacher, including her experience channeling the Council of Light, and how energy mastery can support spiritual awakening, emotional regulation, and long-term spiritual growth. This episode is especially powerful for anyone navigating:Burnout during awakeningEmotional reactivityConfusion around manifestationNervous system dysregulationA desire for practical, grounded spiritual toolsIf you've ever wondered why manifestation techniques haven't delivered the peace, clarity, or abundance they promise, this conversation reframes everything.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a pragmatic spirituality podcast for curious minds exploring the unknown without abandoning critical thinking. Each episode breaks down metaphysics explained through grounded conversation, examining hidden truths behind spiritual awakening, consciousness expansion, and expanded consciousness. We explore intuition, mediumship, spirit guides, and the mechanics of healing and personal transformation—bridging skeptical inquiry with meaningful spiritual experience. If you're navigating your own awakening or questioning reality while staying intellectually honest, this podcast is for seekers and skeptics alike.Subscribe, Rate & Review!If you found this episode enlightening, mind-expanding, or even just thought-provoking (see what we did there?), please take a moment to rate and review us.

This may be what Motorcycling is all about.  Remember when coloring outside the lines felt like a small act of rebellion that somehow made everything brighter? That spark never left—you just needed a throttle to find it again.  We open the garage and watch the math of daily life fade, replaced by the living canvas of the road. Cars deliver us through a controlled world where settings, lanes, and GPS soothe uncertainty. On a motorcycle, the rules shift. The senses take over. Rain announces itself before the clouds break, canyons exhale cold into your sleeves, and the road's texture hums through your hands. It's not transport; it's a conversation.Ride with us as we turn the commute's math into the artist's canvas, invite the senses to lead, and rediscover peace in the simplest loop around home. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a rider who gets it, and leave a quick review to help others find their way back to the joy of coloring outside the lines.

Manifesting has been turned into a social media vending machine: think it, post it, get it. Spoiler alert: the universe is not Uber Eats. In this episode, Nicole goes full curious skeptic with Colette Baron-Reid, internationally respected intuitive, oracle expert, and bestselling author—to reclaim manifesting from influencer fluff and bring it back to what it actually is: alignment over attachment, being over chasing, partnership over control. This is not about “good vibes only” or visualizing a yacht and waiting for it to dock. It's about who you're becoming, how you're showing up, and what you're rehearsing every single day—consciously or not. What We Get Into: Why performative spirituality cheapens real intuition (and why it feels so off) The truth bomb: you don't manifest what you want—you manifest what you are Why attachment to outcomes kills trust, joy, and momentum How curiosity + gratitude open the door to synchronicity The science behind perception, focus, and your brain's internal “sorting system” Colette's Art of Manifesting practice: a meditative drawing method using circles and flowy lines to rewire patterns and co-create with intention Destiny vs. free will—and why it's not either/or Why manifesting doesn't eliminate pain or challenge, but can radically transform how you experience your life Bottom line: manifesting isn't a magic trick—it's a practice. You don't get to control the universe, but you do get to control how you show up, what you rehearse, and what you're available for… and that's where the real power (and real transformation) lives.

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

This episode is brought to you by Timeline, Strong Coffee Company and Fatty15. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, performance coach Natalie Hummel reframes what it truly means to be a high performer—arguing that excellence isn't built through discipline, talent, or mindset alone, but through nervous system mastery. Natalie explains how fear, pressure, and self-sabotage are not problems to eliminate but sensations to build capacity for, and why separating sensation from story is the key to performing with ease under stress. Together, we will explore identity, upper limits, resilience, flow states, and what high performance looks like in everyday life. This conversation offers a grounded, practical, and deeply human approach to performance—one rooted in presence, self-mastery, and the courage to feel what most people avoid.

Annika Sala lebt zwischen Welten: geboren in Mexiko, verwurzelt in Europa, und jedes Jahr mehrere Monate in China, um Kung Fu zu trainieren. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Disziplin, die sich nicht wie Zwang anfühlt, sondern wie Freiheit. Über Stille, die Klarheit schafft. Über Schmerz als Lehrer — und darüber, wie Struktur den Geist beruhigt und den Weg sichtbar macht.Annika erzählt, warum sie ihren Komfort bewusst reduziert hat, wie sie Kung Fu ohne Sprache lernt und weshalb „Zuhause“ kein Ort ist, sondern ein Zustand im Herzen. Es geht um den Mut, sich von Erwartungen zu lösen, um die Rolle von Frauen in der Filmwelt, und um eine neue Definition von Disziplin: als Kunst, ein ewiger Schüler des Lebens zu bleiben.Eine Episode über Fokus, innere Ruhe und die Frage, wie man in einer lauten Welt integer bleibt.

This week, Elizabeth sits down with Brandon Epstein, a high-performance coach and author who works with elite athletes, UFC champions, and founders to unlock flow states and overcome subconscious limitations. In their chat, Brandon shares what happens when outward success no longer brings inner peace, and how the stories we inherit about worth, responsibility, and identity drive anxiety and burnout.Brandon opens up about his own transformation: from college football player to serial entrepreneur, to healer and mindset coach. They talk about the power of visualization, gratitude, and stillness as tools for true transformation, and why self-acceptance, not more hustle, is often the missing piece in unlocking lasting clarity and energy. Episodes Here Brandon: Website | The Success Code Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | Instagram

I've spent 20+ years leading remote teams—first as an EVP at DreamWorks and a VP at 20th Century Fox and then as a 3x tech CEO.  Along the way I learned that what actually makes remote work successful isn't what most people focus on…and I picked up some amusing stories that illustrate these learnings.I run a community of 34K productivity-minded people in The Sukha and I've heard your name from some of them. I'd love to join you on Becoming Parents - Birth Stories and Birthwork Wisdom to share the unexpected lessons from Hollywood and tech—things that remote workers and leaders rarely hear but need to know. I run a remote working community and I've studied the last 6 years about Flow States, tips and tricks to maintain focus while working from home. Sukha is the focus app for remote work.I'm having my first child (son/IVF) in November and this summer I am sharing lessons I've learned along the way.www.thesukha.co/media has fun content about my journey, things I can speak to with intelligence and humor, etc. etc.I run a remote working community and app.FIND HIM HERE:www.TheSukha.coSteven@TheSukha.cohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-puri/FIRST INTERVIEW JULY 23, 2025:https://youtu.be/MdaQvbSP29ohttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1HHWiUocqbrciYlSRXQuw9?si=gsNjqcY3R0-Aln-3RzWmOw

What really keeps the brain sharp as we age — and what quietly puts it at risk?In this episode of the Ageless Athlete Podcast, host Kush Khandelwal speaks with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist, physician, and strength athlete, about the science of cognitive reserve and why long-term brain health depends on challenge, learning, and effort — not comfort or flow.Flow states feel rewarding, but as Dr. Wood explains, they don't create the kind of stimulus the brain needs to adapt over decades. Instead, the brain thrives when it's pushed to learn new skills, navigate uncertainty, and stay engaged through physical movement, mental effort, and diversified identity.This conversation connects neuroscience, exercise science, and psychology in a practical, accessible way — especially for adults who care about aging well, staying mentally sharp, and maintaining performance into midlife and beyond.

Tief unter der Wasseroberfläche beginnt für Freitauch-Weltrekordler Tom Sietas eine zweite Heimat – ein Ort ohne Geräusche, ohne Zeit, ohne Luft, aber voller Klarheit. In dieser Folge von From Done To Dare spricht Tom mit Arne darüber, wie er über 10 Minuten die Luft anhält, warum Atmung das direkte Steuerpult für unser Nervensystem ist und wie wir unter maximalem Druck ruhig und handlungsfähig bleiben können. Es geht um Angst und Mut, um Kontrolle und Loslassen, um Identität jenseits von Leistung und darum, wie wir durch bewusste Atmung Stress reduzieren, Resilienz aufbauen und uns selbst wieder näher kommen. Außerdem erzählt Tom, welche Rolle sein Bruder, seine Kinder und sein Buch „Deine Atmung ändert alles“ in seiner eigenen Entwicklung gespielt haben – und welche einfachen Atemtools du sofort im Alltag anwenden kannst.

Is it line choice, body position, mental focus, or something else?How can riders recognize whether their biggest limitation is technical or mental?What does “failing forward” mean when it comes to learning new skills?What's the biggest mistake riders make when they're trying to practice skills?If someone only has an hour to practice each week, what's the most effective way to use that time?What subtle habits separate a “pretty good” rider from someone who's really dialed?How do you balance fitness and skill in your own training, and what should riders prioritize?From a coach's perspective, what's actually happening when a rider hits that “flow” state?Is there a way to measure progress in skills that isn't tied to race times or Strava segments?From your perspective, what defines a professional mountain bike coach, and what should riders look for when choosing one?Is there any kind of certification or background that really matters, or is it more about experience and results?What's one small thing riders could do today that would immediately make them better?An automated transcript will be available at Singletracks.com later today.Follow Singletracks on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@singletracks⁠⁠⁠ to keep up with the latest mountain bike news.

Congratulations, you've reached the final day of your detox! Today, we solidify your gains with the Focus Architect Review. The challenge now isn't focus, but sustainability. We'll review the tangible shifts in your attention and create a final Long-Term Focus Blueprint. This practice locks in your new capacity for superior performance, ensuring that your mastery over the Dopamine Cycle remains your greatest, most enduring personal advantage. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Today, we stop relying on fleeting motivation and tap into the core of willpower. Distraction is often simply the path of least resistance, requiring significant energy to overcome. Our energetic focus on the Manipura Chakra (Solar Plexus) cultivates a strong, steady inner fire. This is the source of self-discipline, giving you the internal strength required to push through the initial discomfort of high-value work and make your commitment to focus truly non-negotiable.

The band Phish has toured for over 40 years. One of the draws of their legendary live shows—which can go on for 8 hours—is finding moments of “flow,” when the band members lock into an improvised jam, finding new musical ideas in real time.Phish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do the musicians—to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bass player, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state.Host Flora Lichtman sits down with Mike and his research collaborator, neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, to unpack their research so far and how it's helping to inform other neuroscience.Guests:Mike Gordon is bassist and co-founder of the rock band Phish. Dr. Greg Appelbaum is a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.
