No one is an island. We all depend on each other in critical, often tangled ways. And when I say "we" and "each other" I don't just mean humans. Yes, we humans rely on other humans. But we also rely on bees, yeasts, dogs, bacteria, and countless other creatures big and small. These interspecies dependencies—or mutualisms, as biologists call them—have deflected and inflected our history. And there's no doubt they will also inflect our future. My guest today is Dr. Rob Dunn. Rob is Professor of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University, where he studies the creatures and ecologies all around us—in our homes, in our foods, in our belly buttons. He's the author of eight books, including, most recently, The Call of the Honeyguide: What Science Tells Us about How to Live Well with the Rest of Life. This book is the focus of our conversation today. Rob and I talk about the idea of mutualism—in which two or more species benefit each other—and how human life is sustained by mutualisms all the way down. We consider how the benefits of mutualism are measured—whether in terms of biological fitness, or longevity, or pleasure. We talk about the best-documented cases of humans collaborating with other species to find honey or hunt fish. We consider how our liaisons with yeasts have shaped human history—and how we might even say that yeasts domesticated us. We linger on our relationships with dogs and cats and the benefits we get from them, some obvious and some less so. Finally, we talk about what it would mean to more fully embrace our mutualisms, what it would mean to create what Rob calls "a less lonely future." Along the way, Rob and I talk about cheese, worms, and maggots; bread, beer, and honey; face mites and armpits; parasites, inquilines, and commensals; what sauerkraut does to our immune systems; honeyguides and dolphins, leopards and house cats; morbid curiosity; and how dogs might give us a kind of access to our subconscious. This is a fun one folks. But, before we get to it, a couple of announcements. First: Applications are now open for the 2026 Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute. This is a three-week intensive, transdisciplinary exploration of the different forms of mind and intelligence that animate our world. If you like the themes we talk about on this show, you would almost certainly get a kick out of DISI. More info at www.disi.org. That's d-i-s-i. org. Review of applications begins pretty soon, so don't dither! Second: We have just put out our first ever Many Minds audience survey! Whether you're a longtime superfan or just an occasional listener, we would love to hear from you. Your input will help guide the show as we consider our next chapter.

It lives in the mental loops of worry. In trying to control outcomes. In carrying responsibility that was never ours to hold. In this episode, I explore the connection between control, worry, surrender, and the nervous system — and why surrender is not just a spiritual act, but a physiological one. When we mentally rehearse “what if” scenarios, our bodies respond as if the threat is happening right now. That keeps stress hormones elevated, digestion suppressed, and the nervous system on alert. But surrender sends a different signal: safety. We talk about: Why worry is a form of mental stress activation How control keeps the nervous system in vigilance The difference between responsibility and over-responsibility Why surrender reduces the body's threat load How faith practices like stillness and trust support regulation What it looks like to release outcomes daily How peace is not just spiritual — it's a body state If you've felt tense, tired, or caught in mental loops, this episode offers relief without shame. You don't have to hold everything together. Peace is not earned. It's received. I hope this episode blesses you!

Book a FREE functional health discovery call HERE. Have you ever felt like your body suddenly stopped cooperating — more anxious, more tired, less resilient to stress — and wondered what went wrong? In this episode of Aligned Vitality, Tanya explains the biology behind the stress response and why many midlife symptoms are not signs of failure, but signs of protection. From brain fog and fatigue to anxiety, hormone shifts, and digestive changes, chronic stress quietly reshapes how the body allocates energy and resources. Understanding this response can bring relief, compassion, and a path forward. You'll learn how the brain and nervous system detect threat, why stress patterns don't automatically “turn off,” and how faith-based practices like prayer, stillness, and surrender can calm the body as well as the mind. If you've been blaming yourself for not functioning the way you used to, this episode offers a different perspective: your body may be adapting, not malfunctioning. Inside this episode: How the amygdala and hypothalamus activate the stress response Why fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are protective strategies How modern stress keeps the nervous system stuck in activation The connection between chronic stress and midlife symptoms Why spiritual practices can regulate physiology Gentle ways to send signals of safety to your body You are not broken. Your body has been trying to keep you going. I hope this episode blesses you!

Book a FREE functional health discovery call HERE. You might say you're “fine”… just tired. Still functioning. Still leading. Still taking care of everyone. But what if the symptoms you've been brushing off — fatigue, brain fog, bloating, hormone shifts, cravings, sleep issues — are actually signs of chronic stress living in your body? In this episode, I begin a new series focused on one of the biggest root drivers of midlife health struggles: stress. Not just emotional stress — but the physiological stress response that affects digestion, hormones, blood sugar, immunity, and even how clearly we think and lead. We talk about: Why stress is not just emotional — it's biochemical How the stress response was designed for short-term survival, not long-term living What happens in the body when cortisol stays elevated Why digestion, hormones, weight, mood, and energy are often stress-related How chronic stress impacts the brain and leadership capacity Why your body isn't broken — it has adapted What Scripture says about rest, striving, and God's design for rhythm If you've felt like your body is working against you lately, this episode offers a different perspective: your body may actually be trying to protect you. Awareness isn't diagnosis — it's direction. And healing often starts with understanding what stress has been doing behind the scenes. I hope this episode blesses you!

Let's Retire Retirement author Derek Coburn finds the flaws in how we traditionally plan for life after work — and demonstrates how we can do it smarter.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1286What We Discuss with Derek Coburn:Traditional retirement planning is fundamentally broken. Financial advisors ask when you want to retire, not if you should, leading millions to sacrifice health, happiness, and relationships in pursuit of an arbitrary finish line they never actually chose.By planning to work just 10 years longer, the amount you need to save drops by 96% — from $2,400 per month to $110 — freeing up money and energy to actually live your life now rather than deferring it indefinitely.Alzheimer's and dementia are the "iceberg to your financial plan's Titanic." These conditions don't kill you quickly, meaning care costs can drain family resources for years, and your parents' health has a direct impact on your retirement security.The pursuit of happiness as a direct goal actually backfires. Research shows people prioritizing personal pleasure get sicker and die sooner, while those driven by purpose and meaning experience lower inflammation and stronger immunity.You likely have more freedom than you realize. Finding work you don't hate, even part-time, lets you stay engaged, maintain purpose, and enjoy the compounding benefits of extra years while spending more time with the people who matter most.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Book a FREE functional health discovery call HERE. Have you ever felt like your faith journey and your health journey were running on parallel tracks—but not fully connected? In this episode of Aligned Vitality, Tanya shares the heart behind the evolution of her work—from Christian life coaching and leadership conversations into functional health and stress recovery for midlife women. If you've noticed a shift toward topics like hormones, cortisol, nervous system regulation, and functional lab testing, this episode explains why it's not a pivot—but a natural evolution. Tanya explores how chronic stress—especially stress rooted in people-pleasing, over-functioning, anxiety, and control—impacts the body physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She shares how faith-rooted surrender and functional health strategies work together to support the body's God-designed ability to heal. This conversation is for high-capacity midlife women who are exhausted from pushing through, carrying too much, and feeling like rest has to be earned. Inside this episode: Why chronic stress is at the root of many midlife health struggles How people-pleasing and approval-seeking affect hormones and the nervous system Why functional health and Christian life coaching belong together The connection between surrender, safety, and healing What “aligned vitality” really means in this season If you're tired of living in survival mode and ready to heal from the inside out—body and spirit—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Book a FREE functional health discovery call HERE. What if your leadership exhaustion isn't from workload — but from misalignment? In this powerful episode, Tanya Engesether explores the connection between integrity, authenticity, and sustainable leadership. Drawing from personal experience as a healthcare leader, she shares how people-pleasing, over-functioning, and fear-based decision-making quietly pull leaders out of alignment — and how returning to core values can restore clarity, peace, and energy. You'll learn why authenticity in leadership isn't about oversharing or emotional transparency, but about alignment between your values, decisions, and boundaries.

Many Christians are feeling the weight of it — wanting to respond with wisdom, compassion, and truth, yet feeling pulled into anxiety, confusion, and mental turmoil. In this episode, I talk about the real battlefield: the mind. We explore how the enemy often works through confusion, fear, and emotional activation — and how God's Spirit leads with peace, clarity, and steady conviction. I share how to discern what is truly “of God” versus what may sound good emotionally but doesn't align with His character or truth. We talk about: Why confusion and chaos are not from God How the enemy mimics “good” by twisting truth Why peace is a spiritual and emotional discernment tool How to filter your thoughts and reactions in times of division The difference between conviction and emotional pressure Why you don't have to carry the weight of the world How to return to stillness and trust when your mind feels overwhelmed This episode is an invitation to step out of the whirlwind and back into God's presence — where peace guards the heart and mind. You don't have to win every argument. You don't have to carry every issue. You can choose peace. I hope this episode blesses you!

But Scripture offers a different invitation—one rooted in trust, not certainty. In this episode, I talk about what it means to take the next right step without overwhelm, urgency, or pressure to figure everything out. We explore how God often leads us incrementally, why small, faithful steps matter, and how both our faith and our nervous systems respond best to gentle forward movement. In this episode, I share: Why overwhelm often comes from trying to see too far ahead What Scripture teaches about God lighting the next step, not the whole path The difference between fear-driven action and faith-rooted movement How nervous system regulation supports sustainable decision-making Why obedience is often quiet, unspectacular, and deeply faithful How to release the pressure to “get it right” Gentle reflection questions to help discern your next step You don't need the whole plan. You don't need perfect clarity. You just need to take the next right step—with trust. I hope this episode blesses you!

But what if boundaries aren't a lack of love… what if they're an act of stewardship? In this episode, I explore why so many midlife women struggle with boundaries and emotional over-responsibility, and how Scripture invites us to protect what God has entrusted to us—our energy, our peace, and our capacity to lead well. We talk about: Why boundaries feel especially hard for faith-filled women The difference between compassion and over-functioning What Scripture says about personal responsibility and stewardship How Jesus modeled discernment and boundaries—even with good needs Why weak boundaries keep the nervous system stuck in stress mode How midlife makes the cost of boundary-less living more obvious Practical, calm ways to set boundaries without guilt or conflict This episode is an invitation to release what was never yours to carry and to trust God with what you can't control. Protecting your energy isn't selfish. It's faithful. I hope this episode blesses you!

Book a FREE functional health discovery call HERE. We often equate strength with pushing through, staying busy, and holding it all together. But Scripture — and our bodies — tell a very different story. In this episode, I explore why stillness is not weakness, but strength — spiritually, emotionally, and physically. We look at nervous system regulation not just as a wellness strategy, but as a spiritual practice, modeled by Jesus Himself. For many midlife women — especially leaders, caregivers, and high-capacity women — stillness can feel uncomfortable. When we slow down, emotions surface, fatigue becomes obvious, and the illusion of control fades. But Scripture invites us to quietness and trust, not striving. In this episode, I share: Why stillness feels so difficult for anxious and over-functioning women How Scripture repeatedly links quietness, rest, and trust with strength What the nervous system is and how it responds to chronic stress Why prayer and rest can feel hard when the body doesn't feel safe How Jesus modeled rhythms of withdrawal and restoration Why midlife amplifies nervous system overload How God's peace “guards” our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:6–7, NIV) Practical, real-life ways to practice stillness without adding pressure This episode is an invitation — not an assignment — to let your body and soul experience safety in God's presence again. Stillness is not weakness. It is where clarity, discernment, and peace are restored. I hope this episode blesses you!
