Podcasts about intrinsic motivation

From being jumped into a gang at age 12, to bodybuilding through emotional pain, to chasing escape through substances and NYC underground parties, Jamie's story is anything but ordinary. In this raw and unfiltered episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, we explore what it looks like to go from a life built on survival and ego to one rooted in emotional regulation, inner child healing, and radical self-awareness and acceptance. Together, we unpack how early trauma shaped Jamie's identity, the masks he wore to survive, why you can't out-lift, out-hustle, or out-numb your pain, and what finally cracked him open to a new way of being where vulnerability became strength and stillness became power. Whether you're a parent, a Projector in Human Design, a coach, or simply someone on a healing journey, this episode offers insight, validation, and a powerful reminder: You're not broken. You are "perfect, whole, and complete!"

Welcome back to Spirit of EQ! In this episode, Eric here. IIn this episode, I look into the powerful connection between emotional intelligence and curiosity. I've been thinking a lot about how curiosity isn't just a personality trait—it's a vital tool that can open the doors to learning, enrich our relationships, and help us truly understand ourselves and others. Drawing from my own experiences and practical examples, I unpack how curiosity ties into key emotional intelligence competencies like recognizing patterns, intrinsic motivation, and empathy.I'll share some personal insights on how easy it is to slip into judgment, and why being intentional in my conversations, especially by asking open-ended questions, has made such a difference, even with people I might not always see eye to eye with or those I may have taken for granted. If you're looking for ways to strengthen your connections or become a lifelong learner, you'll find something valuable in this episode. Slow down, shift gears, and discover the transformative power of curiosity in our everyday lives.Here are my top 3 takeaways:Curiosity Strengthens Relationships: By taking a genuine interest in others—especially those closest to us—we reinforce our connections and communicate how much we value them.Intentional Practice Drives Growth: Being curious, especially in tough situations or with people we disagree with, takes intentional, sometimes uncomfortable work. Leaning into open-ended questions helps us gather better data, not just quick judgments.Curiosity Fuels Self-Awareness & Empathy: It's closely linked to recognizing our own patterns, intrinsic motivation, and building empathy. Pausing and seeking to understand rather than rushing to react makes us better listeners, colleagues, and leaders.Memorable Moments00:00 Intrinsic Motivation and Empathy Explored05:18 Curiosity in Meaningful Interactions10:29 Nurturing Close Relationships Intentionally13:04 "Curiosity Enhances Business Connections"16:51 "Intentional Work in Relationships"19:02 "Building Takes Time and Effort"In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Do you ever notice how some couples only sprint toward “saving the marriage” when the divorce papers are already drafted—while others seem to glide forward, energized by a shared dream? In this week's episode of Master Your Marriage, we tackle the sneaky trap of away-from motivation (fixing things only when the fire alarm blares) versus the power of a toward vision that pulls you closer every day. From the cautionary tale of “Mark and Lisa” to a five-minute future-pacing meditation you can try today, you'll discover why dodging pain keeps you on a hamster wheel—while chasing a vivid, magnetic dream propels your relationship into lasting joy.Key TakeawaysVision Beats Crisis Mode: Couples thrive when they're propelled by a clear picture of what they want—not just a terror of what might go wrong.Toward vs. Away Motivation: Toward taps the prefrontal cortex (planning, reward); away fires up the amygdala (threat detector). Guess which one fuels sustainable connection?Self-Sabotage Loop: Relying on fear creates boom-and-bust cycles—think lottery winners who go broke or spouses who coast till the next blow-up.Science-Backed Shift: Deci & Ryan's Self-Determination Theory shows goals aligned with values drive deeper satisfaction than “avoid-pain” goals ever will.One Tiny Action Wins: A single intentional habit—daily check-ins, a kind note, listening without fixing—can yank you off the crisis rails and onto the vision highway.Anchor the Future: Their guided five-minute meditation lets you feel next year's dream marriage now, then “anchor” it with a thumb-and-finger press you can trigger anytime motivation wanes.Dive Deeper“Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation” by Edward Deci & Richard Ryan – The classic paper on toward motivation.“Drive” by Daniel H.

From community wins to personal stories, it was a powerful reminder that podcasting is more than being consistent... it's about curiosity, joy, and creating something that lights us up.Episode Highlights: [3:43] Sharing Wins and Acknowledging Consistency[5:37] Strategies for Keeping Podcasting Fun[14:57] Community and External Motivation[20:58] Balancing Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation[23:07] Experimenting and Trying New Things[40:28] Celebrating Wins and Achievements[52:52] Engaging with the AudienceLinks & Resources: A Podcaster's Win You Can Learn From: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting/posts/823021480031522/ Facebook Group Post that Inspired Today's Conversation:https://www.facebook.com/groups/podfest/posts/3093059434182009 Black is America Podcast:https://www.blackisamericapodcast.com/Unbreakable Mission Podcast:https://podcast.unbreakablemission.com/The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Episode 139: Creativity, Play, and Getting More of What You Want In this episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, Randi Rubenstein returns to dive deeper into the concept of Pack Leadership while exploring how creativity and play can transform our lives. We discuss the importance of leaning into your Zone of Genius, fostering meaningful connections through creativity, and how play has reshaped my approach to parenting and work. We'll cover how humans are naturally wired to be generous, curious, and connected, and how we can cultivate environments that bring out these qualities in ourselves and those around us. Whether you're a therapist, parent, or simply someone striving to align more deeply with your purpose, this episode offers practical strategies to help you thrive. Why Creativity and Play Matter For a long time, I struggled with bringing play into my parenting in a way that felt meaningful and connecting—not boring or forced. Then, I stumbled across a podcast episode that gave me hope I could shift this narrative. (Here's the podcast episode that inspired me.) I realized that play isn't about perfection; it's about showing up with curiosity and an open heart. Creativity and play have also deeply impacted my work. Leaning into my Zone of Genius has allowed me to focus on what I'm best at while creating space for joy and innovation. For more about the Zone of Genius concept, check out my earlier episode: Episode 129: Embracing Your Zone of Genius. What You'll Learn in This Episode Stories of Transformation: Hear how embracing creativity and play has changed my approach to parenting, making it more enjoyable and meaningful for both me and my kids. Practical Strategies: We'll discuss actionable tips for incorporating creativity and play into your daily life, whether at home or work. The Counter-Cultural Nature of Zone of Genius: Learn why focusing on what lights you up is not only generous to others but also incredibly challenging in a culture that often rewards overworking and self-sacrifice. Highlights from the Episode Pack Leadership and Creativity: Building on Episode 138, we explore how Pack Leadership intersects with creativity and play to foster environments of trust and connection. Playful Parenting: Inspired by recent research and podcasts like 10% Happier and How I Built This, I've learned how to make play enjoyable and connecting—not a chore. These insights have transformed my relationship with my kids and made parenting feel more aligned. Intrinsic Motivation and Generosity: Humans love to learn and give back. We discuss how to create family and work environments that naturally bring out these qualities. Creativity at Work: Discover how focusing on your Zone of Genius can make your work feel more vibrant and aligned, leading to deeper connections and greater impact. Episode 138: Pack Leadership Recap If you missed our last episode, Randi Rubenstein introduced the life-changing concept of Pack Leadership. This approach prioritizes calm, confident leadership while rejecting shame and perfectionism. For a deeper dive, listen to Episode 138: Pack Leadership: The Most Life-Changing Concept I've Learned Since Intuitive Eating. Practical Strategies to Embrace Creativity and Play Start Small: Begin with a short, playful activity you genuinely enjoy. It could be a game, drawing, or storytelling. Prioritize Joy: Make space for activities that bring you and your family joy. It's not about quantity but quality. Align with Your Zone of Genius: Reflect on what you're naturally good at and passionate about, then find ways to incorporate it into your parenting, work, and daily life. Create Supportive Environments: Foster spaces where curiosity and generosity can thrive. This might mean setting boundaries, asking for help, or simply modeling playful behavior. Want More?

"Leaders can't motivate people—and nor should they. But what you can do is foster an environment where intrinsic motivation can thrive." - Winnie da SilvaWhat if I told you that motivating your team isn't your job? It sounds counterintuitive, right? As a leader, your instinct is to inspire your team to perform at their best—but real, lasting motivation comes from within. In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, I challenge the traditional view of leadership by flipping the script: instead of motivating your team, focus on creating an environment where intrinsic motivation can thrive. Through meaningful one-on-one conversations, leaders can help team members clarify what drives them, align work with their passions, and ultimately improve engagement and performance. Motivation isn't a one-size-fits-all approach—it's personal, dynamic, and deeply impactful when done right.Listen to me talk about:Motivation is Personal - What motivates you may not motivate your team. That's okay—and understanding this is the first step to unlocking better performance and engagement.Leaders Can't Motivate People—And They Shouldn't - Your role as a leader is not to "motivate" others. Instead, it's about creating the conditions where intrinsic motivation can flourish.Meaningful Conversations Drive Engagement - When was the last time you had a one-on-one conversation with a team member about what truly drives them? These conversations are key to building trust, uncovering motivators, and reigniting engagement.Intrinsic Motivation Matters More Than Perks - People are most engaged when their work aligns with intrinsic motivators like autonomy, purpose, and progress—not just external rewards like paychecks or promotions.Shared Responsibility: Team Members & Leaders - Motivation is a two-way street. Team members must reflect on what they want, communicate openly, and take initiative, while leaders must facilitate clarity, encourage ownership, and provide support.Practical Steps for Leaders: I share a step-by-step guide for holding motivational one-on-one conversations:Clarify what's important – Help team members articulate what matters most to them.Define the gaps – Identify where their current experience falls short of their desires.Problem-solve together – Collaborate to find actionable ways to align work with motivators.Powerful Reflective Questions for One-on-Ones - Here are six questions you can ask to help your team members uncover what drives them:At this point in your life and career, what are the two to three most important things you want from your job?On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with your current job? What would it take to get closer to a 10?What parts of your job do you enjoy the most? The least?If you could change your job to make it more rewarding, what changes would you make?What's one thing you're not getting enough of from your work?What have you noticed about how your motivators have evolved over time?ResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack I Email - winnie@winnifred.org

In this conversation, Una Japundza and Doug Dosberg explore the concept of rewards in the workplace, emphasizing the importance of intrinsic motivation over extrinsic incentives. They discuss the potential pitfalls of calculated rewards and the introduction of gift cards in Hey Taco, highlighting the need for thoughtful implementation. The conversation also touches on different types of rewards, including collaborative rewards, and personal experiences that illustrate the impact of recognition and appreciation in a team culture.Key TakeawaysCalculated rewards can diminish genuine appreciation.Rewards should enhance recognition, not replace it.Intrinsic motivation is key to sustained engagement.Gift cards can be effective if used thoughtfully.Personalized rewards foster a deeper connection.Collaborative rewards encourage teamwork and unity.Mandatory time off can be a powerful reward.Automated recognition can feel insincere.Feedback is crucial for product development.Celebrating individual milestones can strengthen team culture.Chapters00:00 The Essence of Rewards08:41 Introducing Gift Cards in Hey Taco15:29 Types of Rewards in Hey Taco

“If you develop or even have all of the physical abilities and all of the physical skill sets, THEY ESSENTIALLY ARE USELESS, if you don't have the right mental skills to help let them come out.” --Dr. Bobby Low “We know that there's lots of things that come into our minds as performers or as athletes that interfere with our performance-- that block our performance-- that inhibit our performance... My job is to help unblock all those things and teach individuals the correct thinking patterns. So they can unlock their performance and perform their best.” As an accomplished mental strength coach at BYU with a rich background in sport and performance psychology, Dr. Low joins us for a 2 part episode where we come to understand how mental strength opens the door for optimal performance in any endeavor.

“If you develop or even have all of the physical abilities and all of the physical skill sets, THEY ESSENTIALLY ARE USELESS, if you don't have the right mental skills to help let them come out.” --Dr. Bobby Low “We know that there's lots of things that come into our minds as performers or as athletes that interfere with our performance-- that block our performance-- that inhibit our performance... My job is to help unblock all those things and teach individuals the correct thinking patterns. So they can unlock their performance and perform their best.” Dr. Bobby Low, an accomplished mental strength coach at BYU with a rich background in sport and performance psychology, joins us for a 2 part episode where we come to understand how mental strength opens the door for optimal performance in any endeavor. He shares how comprehensive mental strength can be built. How words and language impact our brain and body's ability to perform. We discuss the science behind how motivation and momentum are achieved. How to best handle the challenges of tough teammates and leaders (coaches, teachers, mentors, instructors, etc.) We learn about the important shift from arrogance to confidence and why there is a difference. And most of all we learn how to best help our own children find joy in the process whilst also unlocking their full potential. This is one of our favorite episodes yet!

I'm delighted to speak with Dr Thomas Simpson this week. Thomas is a lecturer in Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition at Edge Hill University. He is interested in how motor learning and motor skill acquisition in children can be optimised through attentional and motivational factors. Thomas obtained his BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and his PhD at Edge Hill University.  In this episode we discuss a paper Thomas co-wrote which examined the use of OPTIMAL Instructions and Feedback in Physical Education Settings. Here, OPTIMAL stands for Optimizing Performance through Intrinsic Motivation and Attention for Learning. It is a theory of motor learning developed by Gabriele Wulf and Rebecca Lewthwaite.  The paper investigates how PE teachers can use instruction and feedback which promote OPTIMAL theory motor learning factors (e.g., an external focus of attention, enhanced expectancies and autonomy support) to enhance children's motor learning.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     - Unpacking what you consider to be a “chore” versus what is just an expectation of your child as a member of the household.   - How do you teach your child to do chores (and why you may need to remind them to do it over and over and over again!)   - At what age is it appropriate to expect your child to be able to accomplish tasks like chores?   - How to take advantage of routines when it comes to setting expectations and creating habits with your child.   - Being intentional about looking for opportunities where your child can help out that are aligned with your family values.   - Will giving chores decrease your child's intrinsic motivation? (And why it's not so black and white)     ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:
