Podcasts about know yourself

Don't rely on miracles attitude

The penny that doubles

Know thy soul

Midlife is messy. It involves many life transitions and includes a lot of growth and change. A common experience for midlife women is that they feel like they don't know who they are anymore.But since midlife women are chronically hard on themselves, I want you to know that this is a natural part of the growth process. Part and parcel of living long enough to arrive at this season of life.The discomfort you're feeling pushes you toward your next stage of growth and freedom.In this episode, I introduce my Old Self, New Self, True Self framework. You can also think of this as getting to know your past self, present self, and future self. This three-stage process guides you through mining wisdom from your past, strengthening your present self-relationship, and then intentionally mapping out a path to your future growth.It helps you step back and witness the arc of your story. And allows you to understand that no single experience or event defines you and your life. And that YOU are not your experiences.So the hard, painful parts of your life are not who you are. They are simply parts of your full story. You get to keep writing your story.Getting to know yourself includes getting to know your inner voice and trusting it. And I have found that everyone can develop this skill - even if at first, it feels impossible.I said that it's common and natural at some point in midlife to feel like you don't know who you are anymore. But there are costs of avoiding or delaying this work, including:Chronic self-doubt and anxietyConstant comparison to othersFeeling stuck or lostIncreased relationship tension and conflictDivision within yourself/misalignment between inner truth and outer behaviorGeneral unhappiness and life dissatisfactionInability to articulate what's wrong, just knowing something is offJoin me in June for my free "Get to Know Yourself" workshop.

Part II

What does it mean to truly know yourself — not perform yourself, not brand yourself for public approval, but honestly know who you are at your core?JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson explore that question in this roundtable, the first in a four-part series on JP's new book, The Culture Captain. Betsy shares the story of an athlete and what she filled in her personal definition led to an eye-opening statement about being "enough". This quiet act of self-definition opens a deeper conversation about identity, enoughness, and what it costs to resist the pressure to brand yourself for the world's approval. Nate brings a hard-won insight from a facilitation with student-athletes that challenges a core assumption most coaches hold about leadership readiness. JP is honest about the gap between success and fulfillment — and about the dark side of purpose itself, how even meaningful work can become obligation when fulfillment is measured in external terms. Betsy's Championship Soup exercise from a workshop at Stanford with Tara Vanderbeer gives every coach a practical way in. This is the beginning of a longer conversation — one level at a time.If the question "who are you?" has ever felt harder to answer than it should, this one is for you.Chapters(00:00) Intro(01:35) The Culture Captain Series Format(03:12) When Were You Invited to Know Yourself?(09:09) The "Child of God" Athlete and Enoughness(11:26) Do Athletes Know What Leadership Is?(12:27) Nate's Facilitation: What Athletes Revealed(16:06) Defining Leadership — No Clean Answer(20:01) Leadership as Wielded Influence(22:08) The Magnetic Personality Story(28:53) Leadership Is a Boat Anyone Can Board(30:58) Core Values — How Did You Find Yours?(35:23) The Soup Supper Exercise(37:15) Championship Soup at Stanford(40:43) Success Without Fulfillment(41:51) Division I Basketball vs. 200km Ultra(45:30) Identity Prison vs. Identity House(46:18) JP's Vulnerable Moment on FulfillmentTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."Fulfillment has to be defined by you, and the meaning has to be made intentionally rather than just by what we see and what we hear."— Nate Sanderson"When I'm at my best, when I feel most at peace, when I feel most content, when I feel most truly myself — look back at those moments. And then ask: how do I bring that forward and offer it as a gift to my team, to the world?"— JP Nerbun"I believe leadership is a boat that anyone can board — if you have the desire to develop that awareness, to know yourself, to use your influence on purpose."— Betsy Butterick2 Questions for Your TeamQ1: When was the first time someone truly invited you to define who you are — not describe yourself to others, but honestly articulate who you are at your core? How has that shaped the way you invite athletes into self-discovery?Q2: Think of a recent coaching achievement. On a scale of 1–10, how fulfilled did it make you feel? What does that number tell you about whether you are living in your values?1 Resource to Go DeeperThe Culture Captain by JP NerbunThis episode explores Level 1 of JP's new book — Know Yourself.

If you've been holding back from fully doing this work, this episode is for you. Today Lauren is getting into why a capable, secure man is not going to be threatened by you being a self-proclaimed man hater, where male insecurity actually comes from and why it has nothing to do with you, and why the version of you that keeps shrinking herself is not landing the relationship you actually want. Because the goal was never really a relationship. The goal is you, fully yourself, living a life that feels whole whether or not anyone shows up to share it. And if someone does? He's lucky to be let in.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You? FREE guide

At Simmons she holds the Deloitte Elen Garbriel Chair for Women and Leadership and has advised executives at over 500 organizations worldwide. She is co-author of All the Difference: Six Leadership Actions to Bridge Perspectives, Strengthen Teams, and Create Value with Stuart D. Kilman and Lt. Gen (Ret) Leslie C. Smith. Uncomfortable stuff, organizational issues that have been “on my heart.” That is how Susan opens this interview, mentioning how everything from the evolving role of women on the job to five generations of employees to the advent of AI is roiling the business world as much as it's ever been turbulent and, frankly, agitated and anxious. From the call to Know Yourself to Ignite Togetherness and Commit to Action, this episode explores target actions where the biggest interpersonal sin is to dismiss the dignity of the world you're talking to just because they can pull rank or fail to apply empathy. Emotions “bring the weather,” Susan says, in a discussion that highlights her suggestion that certainty, inconsistency, reactivity, and (self) justification are the landmines that will get you –and others – blown up because curiosity as to what is happening to others and how they can be their best self has got lost in the mix.Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

Experience

Are we all just AI

Levels of quieting thoughts

Humility is not a weakness or a sign you're a pushover, instead it's a mental health tool that just might be exactly what our loneliness epidemic and anxiety culture are desperately craving. Humility is an accurate, grounded sense of who you are. And that grounded sense of self is a foundation for confidence, deeper connection, and holistic mental health. Here's what we'll explore this episode: There are four research-backed types of humility to focus on: Relational humility — how you hold yourself in relation to others; not above, not below Intellectual humility — holding beliefs with openness; curiosity over certainty Cultural humility — recognizing the limits of your own cultural lens and genuinely welcoming differences Existential humility — making peace with uncertainty, impermanence, and the big unanswerable questions of human life You might be doing great in one area and struggling in another (that's normal). These types aren't perfectly clean categories, but they offer areas for self-reflection and focus as you work to boost your humility and emotional wellbeing throughout the month.  With these areas in mind, we'll use researcher Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren's framework to build humility through three core ingredients: Know Yourself — honest self-awareness of strengths and limits, without self-preoccupation Check Yourself — reducing defensiveness and the need to protect your ego Go Beyond Yourself — cultivating empathy and humility as a deep relational practice These three ingredients aren't just a nice framework for self improvement, they're a pathway to reducing loneliness, increasing connection, and building the kind of holistic healing and joy that Joy Lab is all about. If you're in the Joy Lab Program, your first Experiment will help you locate yourself within these four types and start the work.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Quieting the thoughts

Something Lauren keeps noticing: when women go through a breakup, they find themselves again. They go back to the things they'd stopped doing — the hobby, the book, the version of themselves that got a little buried somewhere in the relationship. This episode is a guide for anyone who's newly out of something, mid-way back to themselves, or reflecting on how they've come back before and wondering if there's a little more work to do. Four steps, in order. What to come back to, what to build, what to protect, and what to remember so you don't lose it the same way twice.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

You have to do it yourself to grasp the inner point

Big moshul

Back to basics

Deep avodah

Find your chelek in Torah

Recognize the inner running

Even spiritual desires can pull one outside of his true self

This podcast is about leadership first and foremost, applied to sustainability. Most of the time when people hear or read "sustainability," that concept overrides everything else. They forget or don't notice else, but here, in this podcast it comes second. If you haven't developed the social and emotional skills to lead based on intrinsic motivation, if you try to convince, cajole, coerce, or seek compliance, you'll probably influence people to resist and oppose you and what you're promoting.I see Eric's book, How to Know Your Self (note the two words: "your" and "self") is a book on self awareness based on an interactive course on self awareness. I've never heard an experience leader suggest that lower self awareness helps and I've heard plenty say it does.Since we all pollute and deplete, which hurts people, we know we're violating our values, which tends to evoke emotions we don't like. We hide them from ourselves. We lower our self awareness. We could use tools to increase our self awareness.Eric's book delivers. We talk about how the book came to be, his course, how it differs from regular classes, and what people get out of it. I hope you listen, read the book, use it to increase your self awareness, and use that increase to lead yourself and others more effectively.Eric's home pageEric's page for How to Know Your SelfEric's faculty page at the University of ChicagoEric's podcast: Knowing Hosted on Acast.

Simply thinking

In this episode, we unpack the true cost of doing it alone. We talk honestly about how independence is often celebrated in our community, especially among Black women, while partnership is sometimes overlooked as a wealth-building strategy. Using examples from dating, business, and real estate, we explore why building alone can create limits, even when it looks successful from the outside.We discuss the difference between finding someone who can do for us and finding someone we can build with. We also get into the role of vulnerability, complementary strengths, money mindset, and shared vision in both personal and professional partnerships. At the center of the conversation is a simple but challenging question: is our commitment to individual success actually helping us, or is it keeping us from greater freedom?We Talk About:[00:00] Independence Is Not the Flex We Think It Is[02:05] Love, Money, and the Danger of Building Nothing Together[05:30] The Real Financial Cost of Doing Life Alone[10:04] Looking for The Right Person[17:28] You Can't Pick the Right Partner If You Don't Know Yourself[22:42] Building Together Requires More Gaps Than Most People Want[27:51] The Right Partner Can Multiply More Than Your MoneyResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more from John Hope BryantBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

A Learning and Integration Facilitator at the Menopause CBT Clinic, and founder of The Empowered Mind she is here to demystify menopause for us and educate us on the journey from perimenopause to post menopause and everywhere in between. We talk about the physical symptoms, but also the mental, emotional, and relational shifts that come with this phase of life and how often women are left trying to figure it out on their own. Hear what's happening to you hormonally, why so many women feel unsupported in traditional medical settings, and what it looks like to approach this season with better information, stronger advocacy, and real support. This is a conversation about understanding what's changing, taking yourself seriously, and having better tools to move through it. 3 Things You'll Take Away: A clearer understanding of what's happening in your body and mindSo you can make sense of the changes you're experiencing and respond to them more effectively.How to advocate for yourself and find the right supportWhat to track, what to ask, and how to identify providers who are actually informed.

Why Are We Still Pretending Everything is Important?In a world where we are often measured by the length of our to-do lists, we frequently fall into the trap of treating every task as a top priority. Kent and Caanan explore the heavy toll of "pretending everything matters" and share why true prioritization is impossible without a deep, foundational understanding of yourself.From discussing a high-profile exposé on toxic workplace culture to navigating their own "Chapter Two" growth pains, this episode breaks down how to say a "positive no" to things that don't align with your values. Whether you are struggling with a packed schedule or feeling the pressure to say yes to every good opportunity, learn how to triage your life into what matters a lot, a middle, and a little. CHAPTERS:(00:00) Why are we still doing that?(00:46) Mind Share: The Noma exposé and toxic "superstar" culture(05:08) The core value of balance and the prioritization series(06:30) Chapter Two: Learning to say no during a period of abundance(09:44) Why prioritization requires knowing yourself first(12:03) Moving from "flimsy" decisions to intuitive responses(18:47) Triage: Matters a lot, a middle, a little, or not at all(27:17) Worth the Time: A "shameless plug" and the No Vacation Required book KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Priority Paradox: If everything is a priority, then nothing is.The "Positive No": Saying no with intention isn't about being negative; it's about protecting the energy you give to the people and projects that matter most.Know Yourself to Triage: You cannot effectively prioritize if you don't understand your own strengths, values, and what you actually care about versus what you are told to care about. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:At Noma, Accusations of Past Physcial Abuse – New York Times SUPPORT NO VACATION REQUIRED:If this episode helped you rethink your to-do list, please leave a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

Now, in How to Know Your Self, he brings that transformative classroom experience to readers everywhere, guiding us through the most profound journey of all: discovering who we really are.With warmth, wit, and a gift for illuminating the unexpected, Oliver weaves together insights from neuroscience, psychology, physics, and ancient philosophy to explore the mystery of selfhood. What is this thing we call "me"? How does it form? And why are the answers we have inherited, even the ones we have arrived at ourselves so often, illusions rather than truth?More than a collection of life hacks or quick fixes, How to Know Your Self offers something rare: a transformative framework for understanding what it means to be a person. Drawing on decades of teaching, research, and lived experience, Oliver reveals how a deeper grasp of the self can fundamentally reshape the way we navigate our one precious life.J. Eric Oliver is the author of How to Know Your Self: The Art & Science of Discovering Who You Really Are. https://www.amazon.com/How-Know-Your-Self-Discovering/dp/1324095237http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

The Mindset Shift That Separates Burnout from Breakthrough You've been told self-care is bubble baths and boundaries. But what if the real self-care is becoming the kind of person who doesn't need to recover from their own emotions every week? That's exactly what Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and I dig into in this episode. Dr. G is a board-certified physician and New York Times bestselling author who has worked with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. And she says the ones who sustain success over time have one thing in common: they stay neutral. Big win? Neutral. Big problem? Neutral. It's just another Tuesday. We go way beyond nutrition and fitness in this conversation. We're talking about why emotional neutrality is one of the most underrated entrepreneurial skills, why discipline is actually the new self-care, and why your health quietly determines how far your business can go. Dr. G also shares how to catch yourself before old patterns start creeping back in and how to use your physical body as a tool for confidence and clarity. If you've ever felt like your emotions are running your business instead of you, this one's for you. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Emotional Neutrality Is a Skill, Not a Personality Trait – The best entrepreneurs don't ride the highs and lows. They stay steady because as high as you let yourself go, that's how hard you'll crash. Neutrality isn't boring. It's sustainable. 2️⃣ Discipline Is the New Self-Care – Another episode or glass of wine isn't self-care if they pull you away from your standards. Real self-care is keeping promises to yourself, honoring your commitments, and building trust in your own word. 3️⃣ You Will Never Outgrow Your Health – Your business has a ceiling, and it's your body. You cannot outgrind your physiology. If you want to scale, your health has to come first. Not as a nice-to-have, but as the foundation everything else stands on.
