Podcasts about living fully

Text us, PsyclithidsSession Zero isn't just about rolling stats and swapping backstories—it's the primary emotional regulation tool for your group. In this episode of The Dungeons, Dragons, and Psychology Podcast, we dive into why Session Zero matters so much, and how it sets the tone for your entire campaign.We'll explore:Player Contracts: Setting clear expectations for behavior and table norms.Aligning Expectations: Making sure everyone's on the same page about tone, style, and play focus.Safety Tools: How tools like the X-card and emotional check-ins act as guardrails to keep play fun and safe.The Art of the Break: Why stepping away from the table is one of the most powerful conflict-resolution tools you have.Plus, in Tricks of the Trade, I'll share actionable steps for both players and DMs to strengthen collaboration, prevent burnout, and keep the story immersive.Because at the end of the day, conflict belongs in the narrative—not between the people around the table.

October is a complicated month for so many of us touched by breast cancer. Pink ribbons are everywhere—sometimes they feel celebratory, other times they stir up fear, grief, or difficult memories. Both experiences are real, and both deserve to be honored. In this episode, I invite you to see October through a different lens. Instead of focusing only on awareness, what if we made it about aliveness? I talk about how prevention deserves as much energy as detection, why metastatic breast cancer looks very different today than it did 10–15 years ago, and how daily acts of self-love—like steadying blood sugar, protecting sleep, or moving your body—can transform both health and quality of life. This conversation is about shifting from fear to empowerment, from bracing for bad news to showing up fully for the life that's happening right now. Think of it like a rhinestone ribbon—multi-faceted, sparkly, unapologetically alive.

Do you find yourself dragging through the afternoon, reaching for coffee or snacks just to stay awake? You're not alone. After 40, those 2 p.m. crashes become more common—and it has nothing to do with motivation. It's your hormones and nutrition working differently now, and midlife nutrition plays a much bigger role than it used to. In Episode 245: What To Eat After 40 To Boost Energy, I explain how hormone shifts, stress, and sleep all affect your energy. As estrogen trends down, your body becomes more sensitive to carbs. Add cortisol spikes from stress and poor sleep, and suddenly the same lunch that worked fine at 30 can leave you foggy and sluggish at 45. The solution isn't another latte—it's learning how to time and balance your meals so you get steady energy that lasts. You'll hear the stories of three women who represent different stages of the journey. Emma often skipped lunch and rode the day out on coffee, Lisa ate pretty healthy but leaned on bars and lattes, and Jasmine was highly active yet still crashed on heavy training days. Each of them discovered that small, realistic changes—like eating protein first, moving lunch earlier, or placing carbs around workouts—completely transformed their afternoons. This episode is not about dieting or giving up the foods you love. It's about simple midlife nutrition shifts that support your body after 40 and help you feel strong, steady, and focused. If you're ready to stop the afternoon crash and finally fuel your days with consistent energy, this episode is for you.

The numbers are heartbreaking. Nearly 40% of high school students say they feel persistently sad or hopeless, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About one in five reported struggling with anxiety or depression in just the past two weeks, and another one in five said they seriously considered suicide in the past year.In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, we sit down with the researchers behind a powerful new book, Mind the Children, that digs into what's fueling America's youth mental health crisis. The authors—journalists, researchers, and clinicians—want parents and policymakers to understand the full picture. Too often, they say, the blame gets pinned on a single factor. But the truth is, there are many forces at work.   Today I'm joined by Naomi Schaefer Riley, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who studies child welfare and foster care, and Dr. Ken Winters, a senior scientist at the Oregon Research Institute in Minnesota, and consultant at the Center for Indigenous Behavioral Health at the University of Iowa.Learn more about and purchase their book, Mind the Children, here.If you liked this episode, check out the following next: Your To-Die List: Bestselling Author on Living Fully and ResilientlyA mother's urgent message on mental health and addictionMental health expert offers advice after his own son battles depression, anxiety & addictionMother blames cannabis-induced psychosis for son's deathSend us a textBehind every number is a story of a life cut short, a family shattered, and a community devastated.They were...daughterssonsmothersfathersfriendswiveshusbandscousinsboyfriendsgirlfriends.They were More Than Just A Number.

Text us, PsyclithidsWhat happens to an adventurer after the dragon burns their village, or when they fail to save an innocent life? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of defense mechanisms—the unconscious strategies people use to protect themselves from overwhelming stress—and explore how they can shape roleplay at the table.Drawing from the work of Sigmund Freud and Anna Freud, we'll unpack four core defenses—repression, denial, rationalization, and projection—and show how they can bring depth and realism to your characters. You'll hear practical examples of how both players and Dungeon Masters can weave these coping strategies into their games to create more immersive, emotionally resonant storytelling.Plus, in the Tricks of the Trade segment, we'll break down how to use in-character defense mechanisms in subtle, believable ways that enhance immersion without slowing the pace of play.Whether you're a player looking to breathe life into your character's trauma or a DM wanting to design encounters that challenge the party on more than just hit points, this episode will give you the tools to make your game world feel more human—and more unforgettable.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, we're stepping back to talk about lifestyle Christianity—what it really means to be all in with Christ. Too often, we try to follow Jesus halfway, but halfway commitment brings halfway results. Scripture makes it clear: Jesus isn't lukewarm, He's all or nothing. Laura shares biblical truth, powerful analogies, and a personal story about trusting God with her son Milo's ankle health. You'll hear why believing in God isn't enough, why getting to heaven is just the beginning, and how living in Christ's upside-down kingdom changes everything. ✨ Takeaways: Partial surrender leads to partial transformation. Even the demons believe in God (James 2:19)—true discipleship is more than belief. Jesus calls us to daily surrender and all-in commitment (Luke 9:23). The kingdom of God flips worldly logic—true greatness, strength, and life are found in surrender. Being “all in” means trusting Christ fully in every area, even in the unknowns.

Text us, PsyclithidsIs the bard's silver tongue just a fun game mechanic, or does it reflect real-world psychology? In this episode of The Dungeons, Dragons, and Psychology Podcast, we explore the fascinating connection between the bard's abilities and the science of persuasion, charisma, and social influence.We'll break down key psychological principles like reciprocity, liking, authority, and social proof, and connect them directly to bardic abilities such as Bardic Inspiration, Charm Person, and Hypnotic Pattern. Along the way, we'll discuss why communication—even with NPCs—can transform your game world into a living, breathing story.Finally, I'll share practical tips for bringing bardic charisma into your own life: how to listen actively, find common ground, and master your confidence both at the table and in the real world.Whether you're a bard main or just want to level up your influence, this episode will inspire you to see the bard in a whole new light.✨ Ways to Support the Show:

“Living awake” sounds great when it comes to the beautiful stuff, but it's much harder to live fully awake when the losses and disappointments and heartbreaks won't stop coming.

Text us, PsyclithidsHave you ever made a choice for your D&D character that felt like a betrayal? You know, when your Lawful Good Paladin lies, or your nature-loving Ranger fells a sacred tree?

Ajahn Nyanarato gave this Dhamma talk on 17 August 2025 at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery, UK. The post Living Fully, on This Very Day, at This Very Moment appeared first on Amaravati Buddhist Monastery.

In this episode of Therapy Works, I have the privilege of speaking with Grace Spence Green - a junior doctor and wheelchair user whose life changed dramatically after a spinal cord injury caused by a traumatic accident. Grace shares with such honesty the physical and psychological challenges she faced during her rehabilitation, and how she has learned to navigate the daily realities of life in an able-bodied world. What shines through is her remarkable courage, her ability to redefine her own story, and her deep commitment to disability justice movements. We talk about the importance of community support, the role of radical acceptance in finding peace, and how she continues to build a fulfilling life and career as a doctor. Grace also speaks about her relationships, her writing, and her advocacy for better understanding and treatment of disabled individuals. I hope you find Grace's story as moving and inspiring as I did.

If you've ever felt crushed by stress or trapped by fear, this episode gives you the science and strategies to break free. You'll learn how Olympic-level coaching can rewire your brain for resilience, unlock peak human performance, and extend your longevity through proven biohacking tools. Watch the video highlight version of this episode (and much more!) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jim Murphy, a former professional baseball player turned Olympic coach and now bestselling author of Inner Excellence. Jim has spent decades training world-class athletes and high performers to master their mindset, expand neuroplasticity, and build the courage to thrive under pressure. His work blends psychology, functional medicine, and elite coaching to help people overcome fear, reframe failure, and step into their highest potential.

From Scarcity to Radical Abundance: Guide to Living Fully   What if your early life experiences—and even the beliefs of your parents and grandparents—were quietly shaping your relationship with time and money? Dr. Sharon Spano has spent decades helping high-impact leaders uncover those hidden influences and rewrite the patterns that hold them back. With a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, Sharon blends science, personal growth tools, and deep human insight to guide CEOs, entrepreneurs, and consultants toward sustainable success and radical fulfillment. In this episode of Richer Soul, Sharon reveals why so many high achievers end up with financial success but still feel empty—and how to break free from scarcity thinking to create a life where time and money work together in harmony.   Key Insights: Your Money Story Starts Early. Childhood experiences and family beliefs—spoken or unspoken—often define how you view earning, spending, and saving for decades. Scarcity vs. Abundance Is a Spectrum. It's not all-or-nothing. Moderate scarcity and moderate abundance both exist, but the difference is whether decisions are driven by fear or by creativity and possibility. The 12 Stages of Human Development Shape Success. Your stage of development affects whether you chase time and money or use them to serve a bigger purpose. The Emptiness of Success Is Real. Many leaders reach their goals and still feel unfulfilled—often because they've ignored deeper needs for connection, meaning, and self-understanding. Generational Patterns Run Deep. Unexamined beliefs from parents and grandparents can quietly influence your financial decisions and your definition of “enough.” Radical Abundance Means Contentment in Any Season. It's about being fully present and fulfilled—whether you have more money, more time, less of both, or somewhere in between. Time and Money Decisions Affect Relationships. The way you use these two resources sends powerful messages to your children, partners, and teams—whether you realize it or not.   Money Learnings: Sharon Spano grew up surrounded by scarcity messages about money. Cultural and religious teachings reinforced the belief that wealth was connected to greed, while her family's mixed attitudes left her with a conflicted view of success. Over time, her marriage created balance—her natural frugality and worry met her husband's abundance mindset and faith that resources could be created when needed. Raising a disabled son further deepened her understanding of financial responsibility, planning, and the uncertainty that life brings. Through her work, Sharon discovered that many people struggle with an imbalance of time and money—some have one but not the other. She also emphasizes that our money habits are often generational, passed down unconsciously from parents and grandparents. Ultimately, she teaches that true abundance isn't about accumulation, but about contentment, purpose, and alignment with what matters most.   Key Discussion Points:  How early life experiences shape money habits. Scarcity vs. abundance—and the hidden “middle ground.” The 12 stages of human development and their impact on time and money. Why high achievers often feel the “emptiness of success.” Breaking inherited money patterns and creating new beliefs. The idea of radical abundance: fulfillment regardless of circumstance. How time and money choices affect children and relationships. Healing systemic patterns through constellation work. Success only matters if it blesses others.   About Dr. Sharon Spano: Dr. Sharon Spano helps high-impact leaders break through what's holding them back to become better leaders—for themselves, their families, and their businesses. With a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, Sharon combines science and personal development tools to help CEOs, consultants, and entrepreneurs achieve sustainable growth and radical fulfillment. Sharon specializes in addressing the “emptiness of success” often experienced by high achievers. These leaders may turn to masterminds, therapy, or courses, yet still feel stuck. Through her transformational work, Sharon guides them to uncover hidden barriers, including generational trauma, so that they can step into their full potential. She is the host of The Other Side of Potential, a podcast exploring the intersection of leadership, success, and personal growth. Sharon is also the author of The Pursuit of Time & Money. Her mission is to inspire leaders to move beyond pressure-driven success to a life of true abundance.   Links: https://sharonspano.com/richersoul Website: https://sharonspano.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonspano/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sharon.spano.902  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drsharonspano/  Blog:  https://sharonspano.com   Podcast: The Other Side Of Potential - Podcast - Apple Podcasts   #RicherSoul #MoneyMindset #AbundanceMindset #ScarcityToAbundance #LifeOnPurpose #PersonalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #TimeAndMoney #RadicalAbundance #SoulSuccess #HighAchievers #MindsetShift #PurposeDrivenLife #GenerationalWealth #InnerGrowth    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Let's talk about what it looks like when embracing who you've become—not just surviving, but thriving.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “It's just a little compromise…”? Whether it's in your health, your relationships, your finances, or your faith, those small choices add up—and can slowly pull us away from the life God designed us to live. In today's episode of Made for Impact, I share a deeply moving moment from a church service that shook me to my core and challenged me to see where I was still compromising in my own life and business. Drawing from the story of Daniel, I'll show you why even “small” compromises matter, and how living with obedience and conviction leads to freedom, health, and deeper intimacy with God. This is an honest, vulnerable, and practical conversation about being “built different” as followers of Jesus and choosing to live differently—without apologizing or settling for less than God's best. ✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why there are no “small” compromises in faith or life What the story of Daniel teaches us about obedience and being set apart How your “diet” (food, media, influences) shapes your soul and spirit Simple ways to notice and eliminate compromise in your daily choices How God blesses and honors obedience in every area of your life

And as the podcast evolves, I notice the growing desire in myself to keep these dialogues that way.To keep them deep, authentic & even a little messy...I believe this kind of honesty is a rare currency in our fast-paced, ever-changing world & one that so many of us are longing for.So if you've ever been curious about the man behind "Heart of Man", this is a great place to start.Moving forward, I want to share more dialogues where I am being interviewed, covering conversations that go deeper into my story, my teachings, & my perspectives on masculinity, transformation, relationships & intimacy.If there's a topic you'd like me to dive into in a future episode, let me know in the comments or send me a messageI hope you enjoy this one as always!—Connect with Alex Lehmann: Website: https://www.alexlehmann.co/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexlehmann_/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@heartofmanpodcastListen to this conversation on Apple Podcasts and leave a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heart-of-man/id1697289478Email: alexlehmanncoaching@gmail.comInterested in working with me 1:1?

What does living fully again really look like after loss? This week, I'm joined by someone really special. Lynne Atkin MBE is part of our community, and from the start, I was genuinely amazed by how she was navigating her grief. Not long after the first year of her widowhood, Lynne was making remarkable progress, showing up with strength, clarity and real purpose. And I remember thinking, how is she doing that? Over time, I saw it wasn't a fluke. Lynne kept showing up. She kept leaning into the process and doing the work, with such openness and intention. And she's built something powerful: a life that holds both her love for Michael and her hope for what comes next. In this conversation, Lynne shares what helped her move through the early pain and start building something new. It's a reminder that healing doesn't mean forgetting. It means learning how to live fully again. In this episode, we talk about: Rebuilding identity after a long marriage What helped Lynne feel safe in her grief Making peace with guilt and giving yourself permission to live Creating a vision for your future when everything has changed How community and coaching helped her move forward Whether you're newly widowed or further along, this is a powerful story of resilience, growth and hope. It's one I know will stay with you. Resources and links: Join the Widow Membership: karensutton.co.uk/the-widow-membership Explore retreats and coaching: karensutton.co.uk
