Peak somatic experiences can create profound shifts in awareness, emotion, and perception—but intensity alone does not create healing. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explore why preparation, nervous system capacity, and integration matter far more than the intensity of any psychedelic or peak somatic experience. Through the lens of Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI), they explain how psychedelics influence neuroplasticity, emotional processing, interoception, and implicit memory while also addressing the often-overlooked risks for individuals living with complex trauma, chronic dissociation, or nervous system dysregulation. Rather than promoting psychedelic experiences as a universal solution, this conversation offers a trauma-informed perspective on who may benefit, who should proceed with caution, and why lasting transformation happens after the experience—not during it. Whether you're curious about psychedelic healing, preparing for a peak somatic experience, or simply wanting to better understand how trauma is stored and processed in the body, this episode provides a balanced, neuroscience-informed foundation. In This Episode What defines a peak somatic experience through the lens of Neurosomatic Intelligence How psychedelics influence neuroplasticity and brain function Why increased neuroplasticity can strengthen both helpful and unhelpful patterns The role of the Default Mode Network in psychedelic experiences How trauma changes emotional processing and implicit memory Why somatic memories may emerge without conscious recollection The relationship between interoception, embodiment, and healing Why complex trauma and chronic dissociation require additional caution How preparation increases nervous system capacity before a psychedelic experience Why integration—not intensity—is what creates lasting change The importance of working with trauma-informed practitioners Why "more medicine" is not always more therapeutic How emotional breakthroughs become lasting nervous system change The collective responsibility of healing beyond individual transformation Featured in This Episode

Your team meetings tune the car, but practice is the road.JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson take on a question a coach brought to JP: what do you do when there is almost no time to build culture outside of practice? Their answer is that practice is where athletes experience culture most and where a coach can push hardest on it. You will hear how to move values from the wall into the practice plan, why going hard is a skill you teach, a four step cycle for giving athletes reps at the behaviors you want, and what changes when you start from where your players actually are.If your values live on a wall and you are not sure they live in your gym, this conversation gives you a place to start tomorrow.Chapters(00:00) Intro: practice is culture(04:27) Values in the practice plan(06:32) Where coaches go wrong(09:07) Awareness, opportunity, reinforce(13:10) Purpose, structure, and focus(17:33) Efficient, game-like practice(22:10) Your mindset toward mistakes(26:46) Mental skills in 30 seconds(32:35) Start where players are(38:07) Your own experience of practiceTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."A lot of times the way that we've used some of those classroom times or those team meeting times, or those connection times is really like pulling into the pit stop and tuning up the car, but then we're putting it back out on the road. And practice is really the road."Nate Sanderson"The standard isn't a standard until we start actually holding that standard with our players, and the majority of those standards are being held within practice."J.P.

Here's a Thought… #2756 with Brooks Jensen Too Much Salt Spoils the Food Not long ago we tried a new Italian restaurant, just for fun. I ordered eggplant parmesan. Is there anything worse than bland, tasteless Italian food? Of course, I couldn't help but compare this to photography. What do we want in food — or a photograph? Intensity, a sensual thrill, a memorable experience, a good time, a sense of lingering satisfaction. We don't want bland, yet too much salt spoils the food. Similarly, too much "volume" in a photograph overwhelms the senses Become a member of LensWork Online and have access to all 2700+ Here's a Thought… commentaries.

RESEARCH NOTES / SHOW-NOTES SOURCESIn this episode of Authentically ADHD with Carmen, we're talking about what happens when people don't just misunderstand you—they confidently decide what your behavior means, assign motives you never had, and then treat that interpretation like fact.For AuDHD adults, especially those diagnosed later in life, this can feel painfully familiar. A clarifying question becomes “attitude.” A pause becomes “ignoring.” Asking for help becomes proof you can't handle adulthood. Intensity becomes aggression. Shutdown becomes manipulation. And suddenly, you're not just trying to explain what happened—you're trying to defend who you are.Carmen shares a deeply personal story from her second year of teaching, when a toxic medication combination led to a mental health crisis and psychiatric hospitalization. What followed was not just recovery, but the painful experience of being reduced to a distorted story by the people around her. Years later, through therapy, coaching, self-understanding, and late neurodivergent discovery, she began to understand why being confidently misread can hurt so much more than an ordinary misunderstanding.This episode explores the neuroscience behind ADHD executive functioning, autistic communication differences, masking, emotional regulation, the double empathy problem, late diagnosis, and the ways neurodivergent adults are often infantilized or treated as less capable simply because they need support.Most importantly, this is an episode about reclaiming your own narrative.You'll learn how to separate observation from interpretation, communicate your needs more clearly, recognize when you're over-explaining to someone committed to misunderstanding you, protect your autonomy while still accepting support, and stop letting other people's assumptions become your identity.Because being misunderstood doesn't mean you are unknowable.And needing clarification, support, processing time, or accommodation does not make you difficult, immature, or incapable.Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is:“Please ask me what I mean before deciding who I am.”The double-empathy and cross-neurotype communication research: Research by Crompton and colleagues found effective information transfer between autistic people and has also shown that neurotype matching can influence interpersonal rapport. This supports a more relational understanding of at least some autistic/non-autistic communication difficulties rather than automatically locating every breakdown within the autistic person.First impressions and social perception: Research has also found that non-autistic observers can form less favorable first impressions of autistic adults from brief social information, illustrating how judgments about an autistic person may arise rapidly and before meaningful interaction has even developed.ADHD and emotion regulation: A systematic review of adults with ADHD found meaningful associations among ADHD, emotion dysregulation and executive functioning, while noting that the underlying research remains heterogeneous. Emotion dysregulation is therefore well supported as an important associated feature for many adults with ADHD, although it is not itself one of the core DSM ADHD diagnostic criteria.Autistic camouflaging/masking: Systematic reviews describe camouflaging as masking, compensation and assimilation strategies used to navigate social environments. Research repeatedly associates greater camouflaging with poorer mental health, exhaustion, identity difficulties and feeling overlooked or unsupported, while also acknowledging that masking may serve pragmatic or protective functions in some environments.Late diagnosis and identity: Qualitative research with late-diagnosed autistic adults describes reinterpreting past experiences through a new lens, shifts from self-criticism toward greater self-understanding or compassion for some people, and an ongoing process of reconstructing identity after diagnosis. Research including people diagnosed with autism, ADHD or both similarly describes adult diagnosis as affecting relationships, mental well-being and self-understanding.Autonomy and infantilization: Autistic adults have described wanting opportunities to make their own decisions, receive pragmatic executive-function support, unmask safely and exercise autonomy rather than having assistance become unnecessary control. Research examining cultural representation also documents persistent problems with the infantilization and underrepresentation of autistic adulthood.Important research caveat: “AuDHD” is widely used to describe co-occurring autism and ADHD, but much of the scientific literature still studies autism and ADHD separately. Individual experiences vary enormously, and the mechanisms discussed in this episode should be understood as possible contributors to misunderstanding—not a claim that every communication conflict involving an AuDHD person has the same neurological cause.Thank you for tuning in!This Substack is reader-supported.

We grunted our way through the day before this great episode! The main training topic was a new study on the dose-response curve for intensity, finding that only 11 minutes led to 80% of the benefits. We zoom out to talk about how training theory can shift away from the goal of accumulation of intensity. That study connected to another finding that just 12 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity correlated with major longevity improvements. There are a million confounders for both, but there may be similar mechanisms at play. Other topics: what happens when you throw gels on the floor, the best headphones, grunting as a performance enhancer, Run Rabbit Run's $100,000 prize purse, active heat training, Keely Hodgkinson's speedsuit, Sydney Sweeney's ad, a Hyrox follow-up, David's dumb take of the week, “one more rep” workouts, maladaptations from overtraining, a new study finding that cocoa may enhance fatigue resistance, and questions on start line etiquette, opening gels, breakups, running economy v. power, watch bands, tapers, and lots more.We love you all!

Traitors Canada Season 4 Karine Vanasse Interview Watch the podcast on YouTube! Traitors Canada Season 4 is here, and Pooya sits down with Karine, the “queen of the manor,” to dig into all the drama, strategy, and bold first moves from the explosive premiere. Boats, bonfires, and a cage dilemma set the tone, as Karine explains how the franchise keeps both players and viewers guessing with new twists and a high-stakes atmosphere. This deep dive offers a behind-the-scenes look at how production raises the danger level and pushes players to go big or go home right from the first moments. Karine shares how production designs twists meant to disorient returning and new contestants alike, especially with the fire motif and suspenseful traitor selection right out in the open. The duo examines how adding immediate group judgment increases pressure on traitors, how hungry this season's cast is to play fast and bold, and why unpredictable entrances and missions reset everyone's expectations. There's also analysis of the moral dilemmas that came into play during the first challenge—and how stressful it can be when your fate hinges on not just luck, but quick thinking and social reads. Listeners will learn about: Group dynamics during the new traitor selection process and how live reactions shape reputations The moral and strategic risks of the cage challenge—and how decisions early on force alliances and expose loyalties Karine's view on raising the level of danger and unpredictability, including her own role and new look Why returning player Ty faces extra scrutiny and how early perceptions could shape his fate How the addition of a prize pot bonus for banishing traitors changes both faithful and traitor incentives As the roundtable vote ties and alliances start to form, will bold early gameplay pay off, or will it sink contestants' games before they've had time to find their footing? Is the new focus on danger and risk making it harder for traitors to hide?

What if the problem isn't that you're too much—but that you've spent years trying to fit into environments that don't understand your intensity? Diann Wingert and Imi Lo explore what emotional and intellectual intensity can look like, and why it often gets confused with ADHD, autism, giftedness, or other labels.If you've ever felt misunderstood for feeling deeply, thinking intensely, asking too many questions, or struggling inside conventional systems, this conversation offers a different lens. You'll learn how self-awareness, skillful communication, radical self-acceptance, and finding the right environments can help you work with your intensity rather than constantly judging yourself for it.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Emotional and Intellectual Intensity in Business05:52 - Navigating ADHD Entrepreneurship and High-Stakes Decisions11:45 - The Role of ADHD Executive Function in Business Strategy17:37 - Managing Cognitive Load and Avoiding ADHD Burnout23:30 - Scaling a Business with ADHD and Team Leadership Dynamics29:22 - How to Build a Sustainable Systems and ADHD Business Operations35:15 - Fostering ADHD Self-Trust and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome41:07 - Integrating Emotional Intensity for Long-Term ADHD Founder Success‍ ‍Key takeaways:‍ ‍Intensity is multi-dimensional: Intensity can be emotional (feeling deeply and persistently), intellectual (a hunger for knowledge and depth), or moral (strong principles and sensitivity to injustice).

Radical self acceptance, and the courage to stop apologizing for your intensity—could be your first step toward thriving.‍ ‍Mentioned during this episode: Imi's article “The Compulsion to Correct”Emotional Labor Performative Humility Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Dialectical Behavior Therapy Stoicism Today's guest, Imi Lo:With three master's degrees in Mental Health, Buddhist Studies, and Global Cultures., Imi Lo has over fifteen years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and art therapist.

This episode is sponsored by Estrotect and features Dr. George Perry from Texas A&M AgriLife, who discusses how estrus intensity influences reproductive performance in beef cattle and how producers can use that information to improve breeding decisions. While many producers think of estrus as a simple yes-or-no event, the discussion highlights that the intensity of estrus, measured by mounting activity or other indicators, can provide valuable insight into fertility. Calves and cows that exhibit stronger estrus prior to fixed-time artificial insemination consistently achieve higher conception rates than those showing weak or no signs of estrus. The conversation explains that estrus remains important even in synchronization and fixed-time AI programs, where breeding occurs on a set schedule. Research has shown that cattle displaying estrus before insemination can have conception rates more than 20 percentage points higher than those that do not. This information can help producers make more strategic decisions about which animals receive sexed semen or higher-value genetics. The group also emphasizes that management factors such as nutrition, body condition score, postpartum interval in cows, and puberty status in heifers often have a greater influence on estrus expression than genetics alone. Advances in estrus detection technology, including activity monitors and improved heat-detection aids, now provide producers with more detailed information than traditional visual observation methods. Ultimately, the discussion concludes that estrus intensity is not merely a biological curiosity but a valuable management tool. By combining sound nutrition, synchronization protocols, and improved estrus detection, producers can make better breeding decisions that improve conception rates, calf performance, and the long-term productivity of the herd.

I sit down with Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist and neurofeedback clinician, to unpack what pornography and screen compulsions can do to the brain, from dopamine dependency and hypersexuality to sexual dysfunction and impaired self-regulation. We explore why so many men struggle to break the habit, how pornography can become a tool for managing stress and boredom, and why simply trying to quit often isn't enough.Dr. Leigh explains how the brain can be rewired through repetition, healthier sources of dopamine, intentional routines, and what she calls the “instant rewire.” We also talk about shame, relationships, parenting, ADHD symptoms, and how rebuilding a healthier brain can help men create the life and relationships they actually want.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:01 - What Happens in the Brain Before You Open Porn02:49 - Dopamine and the Screen Compulsion Loop04:32 - Dopamine, Testosterone, and the Brain06:11 - Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction07:09 - How Porn Changes Sexual Arousal09:04 - Novelty, Intensity, and Hypersexuality12:25 - Why Men Use Porn for Stress and Boredom15:16 - Rewiring the Brain Through Dopamine Stacking17:21 - High Libido vs. Hypersexuality20:24 - How Porn Changes the Way You See Women23:58 - What a “Hijacked” Brain Looks Like27:38 - The Prefrontal Cortex vs. the “Banana-Hungry Gorilla”30:00 - Replacing Porn With Real-World Dopamine32:24 - Your Brain Is Not Broken - It's Been Conditioned35:20 - Neuroplasticity and the Rigid Brain40:51 - Porn, ADHD Symptoms, and Brain Function43:12 - Nature, Nurture, and How We Train the Brain45:37 - Teaching Kids Emotional Regulation48:17 - Is It Your Relationship or Your Brain?52:39 - Breaking the Cycle of Shame54:42 - A Step-by-Step Plan to Rewire Your Brain57:00 - The Three-Second “Instant Rewire”59:01 - Building Routines That Replace Porn01:00:52 - Setting the GPS for the Life You Want01:03:10 - Where to Find Dr. Trish Leigh***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Anna and Avery open the Weekend Wrap with a genuine first: South Africa's MeerKAT has detected the 21-centimetre hydrogen signal from four to five billion light years away using radio data alone — no optical galaxy survey propping it up — proving out the technique the Square Kilometre Array will use to measure dark energy. Then the week in review: Roman's coronagraph wakes up, Starship Flight 14 gets a date, Mars turns out to be lopsided inside, BepiColombo lets go, LZ's one unexplained flash, and a centaur caught in the act of becoming a comet.

Brian Teague from Chicago State of Mind Sports joins The Drive for a packed second hour covering Illinois football and the Chicago Bears. Teague breaks down why Jake Renfro and Xavier Scott could be critical pieces for the Illini in 2026, and what their health and production could mean for Illinois' hopes this season. The conversation then shifts to the Bears, including Ben Johnson's intense approach at training camp and whether that physical, demanding style is exactly what Chicago needs to take the next step. The Bears have already had some heated practices, while Johnson continues to emphasize competition and preparation. And with the Bears heading to Cincinnati for a joint practice and Saturday night's preseason matchup, there's extra intrigue surrounding Bears-Bengals after Joe Burrow made it clear that Cincinnati believes this is a Super Bowl-or-bust type of season. Burrow has compared the 2026 Bengals to his 2019 LSU championship team and says the team expects to compete for the Super Bowl. Topics include: Jake Renfro's importance to Illinois football Xavier Scott's role and impact on the Illini defense Illinois' 2026 football expectations Ben Johnson's intensity at Bears training camp What Chicago is trying to establish under Johnson Caleb Williams and the Bears offense Bears-Bengals joint practices Joe Burrow's Super Bowl expectations Why Saturday's preseason game feels more interesting than a typical August matchup What to watch for when the Bears face Cincinnati The Bears and Bengals meet Saturday, August 22 at 6 p.m. CT in Cincinnati.

THE HIDDEN STRUGGLES OF BEING AN EMPATH — the gift that quietly drains you.If you walk into a room and instantly feel the tension, absorb everyone'smood, feel emotionally hungover after being around chaos, and lose yourselftrying to hold everyone else's emotions — this one is for you. Being an empathis beautiful. But without boundaries, it becomes self-abandonment.In Episode 324 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis breaks down what being anempath actually is, why it exhausts you, why difficult people are drawn to you,and how to stop absorbing everyone else's energy so you can come back home toyourself.In this episode:— What emotional fusion is — the difference between caring about someone's emotions and becoming entangled with them— Why difficult people unconsciously search for "emotional managers" — and why empaths see potential instead of patterns (that's The Fantasy Loop™)— The line that changes lives: understanding someone's pain does not require tolerating their behavior— Why empaths burn out — carrying 10 other people's emotional states your body was never meant to hold— How to heal: witness without absorbing, set boundaries that protect not punish, and reconnect to yourself — because being needed is not the same as being lovedChaos is not connection. Intensity is not intimacy. Suffering is not love.Sensitivity is not a weakness — but being sensitive without boundaries issuffering. You can stay soft and still protect your peace.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comTake the Fantasy Loop Quiz: quiz.thefantasyloop.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.com

Michael Wayne grew up in Mississippi, attended the Naval Academy, left after his father died, built a career in business and investments while running a hedge fund for fifteen years, spent twenty-five years as a clandestine CIA contractor operating across some of the most sensitive and most dangerous missions available — and then went to Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion to organize humanitarian aid, evacuate women and children from combat zones, train Ukrainian soldiers, and deliver equipment to the front line before discovering widespread corruption tied to Ukraine aid that he says reached powerful US politicians. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what twenty-five years as a CIA contractor actually looked like from the inside, what changed after 9/11 in the intelligence world, what the Ukraine work actually involved, what the corruption he discovered actually implicated, and what the DOJ prosecution that followed his decision to push back against that corruption actually produced — including a wire fraud conviction, a federal prison sentence at FPC Montgomery, and what he believes was a deliberate government effort to make him a convicted felon before he could become a whistleblower. _____________________________________________  #TrueCrime #espionage #cia #prisonstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

What role does desire play in receiving the promises of God? In 1999, the Lord gave Dr. Carolyn Savelle a revelation that would forever change the way she approached faith and receiving from God. Since then, this powerful truth has impacted countless lives as she has shared how the intensity of your desire can influence the results you're seeing in your walk with God. In this inspiring teaching, you'll discover why desire is such an important part of faith, how determination positions you to stay focused on God's promises, and why you should never settle for less than God's best. Let these biblical principles challenge you to believe bigger, expect more, and pursue everything God has prepared for your life.
