Podcasts about managing emotions

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Welcome to episode #982 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Ethan Kross is one of the sharpest minds on the planet when it comes to understanding how our emotions shape our thoughts, decisions, and relationships. As a professor of psychology and business at the University of Michigan and the author of the bestselling books Chatter and Shift - Managing Your Emotions - So They Don't Manage You, Ethan brings together rigorous research and practical insight in ways that are deeply human and immediately useful. In our conversation, we explore what it takes to manage emotions in a world that feels like it's dialed up to 11 - from doomscrolling and overstimulation to the growing cultural obsession with emotional transparency. Ethan challenges some of our most common assumptions about how emotions work (no, avoidance isn't always bad; yes, anger has a place) and makes the case for building a “diverse emotional toolkit” - strategies that are flexible, personal, and context-specific. We talk about the influence of technology, how AI might fit into the future of mental wellness, and why dosing your news intake might be as important as getting your steps in. For anyone feeling like their emotions are a little closer to the surface these days, Ethan offers not just understanding - but agency. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 48:37.

Today, I'm sharing a recap of my experience and learning lessons from participating in my first-ever Member-Member Tournament.  In this episode, I take you inside my very first member-member tournament at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club—a 63-hole gauntlet of match play, missteps, and mindset mastery. You'll hear firsthand stories of: hitting 12 fairways on day one (and what fell apart after that) navigating USGA match play rules I hadn't previously known the temptation to confront cheating—and how I chose to respond coaching my partner through his mental spiral mid-round laughing off bad shots to stay in the fight and how I learned to protect my energy from angry, frustrated playing partners If you're serious about developing mental toughness, emotional resiliency, and learning to perform under pressure, you'll take away more than a few insights from this candid tournament recap.  I walk through what went well, what didn't, and the tangible mindset and skill improvements I'm now laser-focused on. And of course, I share how this entire experience translates beyond the course, too. This one's packed with real stories, practical lessons, and reminders to keep showing up, even when the conditions—and competition—get tough.

Stay in the Fight—Always: Even after a bad shot or penalty, you're only one great swing away from turning the hole around. Never mentally check out. Control What You Can Control: You can't police every rule or correct every shady scorecard. What you can control is your attitude, effort, and energy. Your Emotional State Is Contagious: Whether it's your playing partner melting down or opponents bickering, you must protect your energy and stay anchored in your process. Audit Your Self-Talk and Body Language: The way you speak to yourself after a mistake either drains or fuels your next shot. Choose awareness over autopilot. Routine Is Your Reset Button: A consistent pre-shot routine was the anchor during high-pressure moments. When things go sideways, your routine keeps you grounded. Key Quotes: “You are not judge, jury, and executioner out there. Control your ball—and your response.” “Even when I hit a ball OB, I stayed in the fight. I didn't skip my routine. I didn't give up.” “Every missed shot is just an invitation to execute the next one better.” “Tournament golf just hits different—and I fucking loved it.” “You can't afford to leak energy worrying about things beyond your control.” “Pat's opponent lived rent-free in his head—and it cost him the round. Don't give away your power.” “I may not have played my best golf, but mentally, I showed up like a pro. And that's the foundation of what's coming next.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to Member Member Weekend 05:03: First Impressions and Initial Experiences 10:58: Learning the Rules of Match Play 15:01: Mental Resilience and Self-Talk 20:34: Tournament Golf: The Thrill of Competition 24:47: Navigating the Course Challenges 27:28: Lessons from Competitive Play 29:45: Staying Committed to the Process 32:14: Managing Emotions and Energy on the Course 35:49: The Importance of Team Dynamics 38:18: Reclaiming Your Power 40:05: Identifying Areas for Improvement 44:54: Reflecting on the Experience

Are you somebody who really cares about wildlife and conservation and you're trying to get people to change their behavior? Reduce their carbon footprint? Get them to not litter? Or keep their cats indoors to save birds? Whether it's getting people to switch to clean energy sources or eating less meat to help save the planet, all of these things all require human behavior change, and the foundation of such change is communication. A lot of people tend to think we just need to educate people more - that people have a deficiency in knowledge, and that if only we could get people to understand the data and studies like we do, then they would see the error in their ways. But as we've seen with well-researched topics with lots of supporting data and studies like climate change and vaccines, this is not true. There is more to it! We need effective communication, which requires dialogue. This week's podcast is inspired by two events: (1) the results of the 2024 election here in the United States where we saw the public vote for an administration that is anti-environment and science and (2) the aftermath of me reading an eye-opening, enlightening, and highly entertaining book on the subject of rethinking by social scientist Adam Grant: Think Again. In this episode I talk about how to be a more effective communicator, get people to rethink their opinions and values (including yourself!), and teach you how to have productive, engaging, and useful debates with people who think, at times, very differently than you. I am living proof it is possible!The lessons shared largely come from the book Think Again, but also my own personal experience engaging with and even being friends with people from “the other side.” You'll learn how to reframe your perspective on arguments so you don't feel exhausted, angry, or drained, how effective listening is critical in debate, and how providing nuance, multiple perspectives, and humility can make you more effective in changing minds. Often when we talk about working with wildlife, we think about it from the animal's perspective and studying the species, but in reality, almost all of the conservation solutions with declining biodiversity have to do with interventions on the human side. Want to save wolves? We need to reduce poaching. Want to save monarchs? We need to get people to plant more milk weed and reduce habitat loss. These things require interventions on the human side. So if you are someone who works in science or conservation, or are simply someone who wants to create more positive change in the world, then this episode is for you!Specifically I talk about: Why it's important to engage in debate and that it doesn't have to be hostile, exhausting, or heatedHow debate makes us stronger leaders and better scientistsHow spirited discussions helped Disney create Pixar's The Incredibles that went on to win two OscarsHow to reframe arguments into debates and learn how to dance rather than fightCommon “don'ts” and mistakes that many people make that close people off and cause them to dig more into their original beliefsHow to motivate someone to share information with youWhy facts alone don't work in changing mindsThat asking questions activates a rethinking cycle in your debate partner (and yourself!)Why listening is critical to getting people to open up and be receptiveHow the “vaccine whisperer” got people to vaccinate their children through non-judgemental empowerment and listeningThat binary or black and white thinking can actually cause people to move away from your causeHow uncertainty and humility can make you more effective in changing mindsAnd more!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

Panic is never a solution. In moments of crisis or uncertainty, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and reactive. By cultivating equanimity, we can sidestep panic and instead approach challenges with a level head. This doesn't mean we ignore our feelings but rather that we create a mental framework that allows us to address issues rationally and calmly. Connecting with our inner stillness can lead to clearer thinking and more effective decision-making. All sentient beings fundamentally desire to be happy, healthy, and free from suffering. Despite the diversity of our circumstances, we are united by this common aspiration. This understanding fosters compassion and empathy towards ourselves and others. It reminds us that behind every reaction, there is likely a story of struggle and desire for peace. 

As a coach, one of the things I do most often is help people learn how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. The human capacity to feel is God-given. However, when our feelings go unchecked, that's when emotional ups and downs can start to steal our peace, sabotage our relationships, and fill our minds with self-defeating thoughts.So how can we manage our emotions instead of letting them manage us? Alicia Michelle is here to show us the way. Alicia is a coach, author, speaker, course creator, and podcast host. She blends science and faith together to provide us with a helpful process for working through difficult feelings with compassion and clarity.In this episode, you'll hear:The three-step process to managing emotionsWhy it's important to ground our feelings in God's clarityHow we get to decide where we camp out in our feelingsAnd more!My hope is that the strategies in this conversation will help you develop a healthier, more positive relationship with your feelings.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/alicia-michelle-239Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

EPISODE 77 – DETACH, LEAD, AND WIN: MASTERING LEADERSHIP UNDER PRESSURE In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP dives into one of the most powerful yet underrated leadership skills: detachment. Whether you're leading a business, a team, or your family, the ability to step back, assess the situation, and make clear, unemotional decisions is the difference between success and failure. Drawing from his experience as a Navy SEAL, business leader, and instructor at Echelon Front, JP breaks down why most leaders struggle under pressure and how detachment is the key to overcoming stress, ego, and tunnel vision. He shares real-life stories from the battlefield, business, and training that highlight the importance of staying calm, controlling emotions, and seeing the full picture before making decisions. If you've ever found yourself reacting emotionally, making rash decisions, or feeling overwhelmed by leadership responsibilities, this episode is a wake-up call. JP lays out a step-by-step framework for mastering detachment and explains why leaders who fail to detach will always fall short.

The Power of Setting Boundaries and Trusting Yourself Managing other people's emotions is a common behavior that many individuals engage in, often with the intention of maintaining harmony and avoiding conflict. However, this habit can lead to significant negative consequences, including emotional exhaustion, resentment, and stifled personal growth for both yourself and those around you. Tonya Leigh explores the detrimental habit of managing other people's emotions and how it impacts our own happiness and growth. She discusses the importance of breaking free from the need to control how others feel, emphasizing that this behavior stifles both personal and collective development. Tonya shares her recent experience with guided visualization walks, which she refers to as immersion walks, and how they have positively shifted her energy and focus on vibrant well-being. By incorporating practices like Pilates, meditation, and self-care, she reveals how she is reclaiming her health and happiness.

"Recognizing it and having the courage to be true to yourself is where you begin to turn your life around." "I speak my truth with confidence and I let other people have their emotions and their opinions about it." "So you might as well be the version of you that you love."

Learning to work with this energy rather than suppress it leads to better performance and overall well-being. Unprocessed Emotions Drain Energy: When emotions aren't acknowledged or expressed, they create internal energy blocks that weigh you down and can even manifest as physical pain. Your Emotional State Affects Your Golf Game: Suppressed frustration, anger, or anxiety doesn't just disappear—it shows up in your swing, decision-making, and overall performance on the course. Energy is Neither Good nor Bad—It's How You React That Matters: Emotions themselves are neutral. Your response to them determines whether they fuel your success or hold you back. Awareness is the First Step Toward Mastery: Developing an emotional vocabulary, recognizing how emotions feel in your body, and understanding your triggers help you gain control over your energy. Slowing Down is the Shortcut to Emotional Mastery: Practicing silence, reflection, and intentional awareness allows you to regulate emotions, making you more resilient and present under pressure. Mastering Emotional Energy Leads to Peak Performance: When you control your energy, you control your mind. And when you control your mind, you control your ability to execute in golf, business, and life. Key Quotes: “Emotions are simply energy in motion. The way you manage that energy determines your success.” “If you feel stuck in your game, in your progress, or in life, chances are you're emotionally constipated.” “Your thoughts begin it, your emotions amplify it, and your actions create momentum. Your results are simply an expression of that emotional energy.” “Unprocessed emotions don't just disappear. They show up in your body as tension, pain, or even chronic injury.” “When emotions remain unmanaged or repressed, they create energy blocks that drain you physically and mentally.” “Golf isn't just a technical game—it's an emotional and energetic one. You need to master your emotions to master your game.” “Slowing down, reflecting, and listening to your emotions gives you the power to transform them into fuel for growth.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to Emotional Constipation 03:03: Understanding Emotions and Energy 06:06: The Role of Energy in Transformation 08:57: Identifying and Managing Emotions 12:02: The Science of Energy and Emotions 14:57: Vibrational Frequencies and Emotional States 18:09: The Connection Between Mind and Body 21:02: Awareness and Emotional Mastery 23:46: The Impact of Repressed Emotions 26:45: Practical Steps for Emotional Awareness 30:08: The Impermanence of Emotions 32:52: Mastering Your Energy for Life 35:56: Conclusion and Reflection

Dear Friends, In this time of immense challenge, as wildfires impact our beloved Los Angeles region, I extend my deepest compassion and heartfelt support to everyone affected. Whether you have faced evacuation, are at risk, or are navigating the emotional toll of uncertainty, please know I am holding space for your experience. We recognize the profound emotional, mental and physical toll such events impose and want you to know I stand with you. Also, we can recognize the collective heaviness that can arise, even for those witnessing this crisis from afar. Energetically, we are all connected, and the unfolding events may stir emotions of fear, helplessness, or grief. In moments like these, our shared humanity and unity become profound sources of strength and healing. So we acknowledge that those outside the Greater Los Angeles area may experience their own emotional struggles as they witness this crisis unfold. To you, we offer our unwavering support as well. Regardless of distance, we are interconnected in this shared experience, and by uniting, we can nurture ourselves and each other through these trying times. To help navigate the stress and uncertainty, I will be offering additional meditation sessions in the coming weeks. These sessions aim to provide grounding amidst the chaos. Alongside regular classes, I will be sharing resources to help you manage the myriad emotions that can arise during such challenging periods. Meditation Resources for Managing Emotions and Cultivating Equanimity: • Ground yourself amidst uncertainty. • Process and release emotions with mindfulness and care. • Rebuild inner calm and strength to navigate the days ahead. • Guided Equanimity Meditation: Foster even-mindedness and balance during uncertain times. • Emotional Resilience Meditations: Meditations focused on building the capacity to bounce back from adversity and handle difficult emotions. • Energy Techniques: Resources for Resilience provides self-help techniques to recover more quickly from stressful events, integrating body and mind to release trauma and distress. • Breathwork Practices: Incorporating intentional breathing exercises can enhance mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, aiding in stress reduction and emotional regulation. These resources will focus on balancing emotional energy, fostering clarity, and restoring a sense of connection to the self and the collective field. We hold compassion for all affected, including those whose stories may not always be visible. Many residents impacted by these fires were not wealthy or well-insured but rather hardworking individuals who now face rebuilding their lives from the ashes. Loss does not discriminate, and every story deserves care, understanding, and kindness. Wildfires of this magnitude are often fueled by extraordinary conditions, including erratic winds, dried vegetation, and an unpredictable convergence of elements. The devastation may feel overwhelming, but it also highlights the resilience of communities, the bravery of first responders, and the importance of coming together to support one another.

Meet Michael Leonard - the creator of Wicked Smart Golf, a +2 handicap, and mental golf coach. He uses his five-pillar approach to help players shoot lower scores and play more consistently... without swing changes. In today's episode, you'll learn: The keye elements to focus on changing to upgrade your identity The power of consistency - and how to cultivate it The importance of slowing down to regain focus after mistakes How less is more in practice and preparation for tournaments The role of mindset in developing consistency and breaking 80 Actionable strategies for building effective post-round reflections Why mental and physical self-care off the course impacts on-course performance Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Watch him on YouTube. Purchase “Wicked Smart Golf” on Amazon. Subscribe to the Wicked Smart Golf Podcast.  Work with Michael. Key Takeaways: The mental game's primary goal is to reduce stress, as stress disrupts motor patterns and prevents you from swinging your best on the course. A growth mindset is critical for improving in golf; believing that improvement is possible fuels the effort needed to achieve your goals. Effective practice involves intention and structure—prioritizing deliberate, focused sessions over marathon practice that leads to burnout. Consistency in effort, even with small, incremental steps, is the foundation for long-term progress in golf and life. Managing your expectations with data-driven insights (e.g., realistic fairway hit percentages) helps avoid frustration and enhances performance. Pre- and post-shot routines, along with slowing down after mistakes, are essential tools for bouncing back from blow-up holes and staying composed. The golfer you are on the course is deeply connected to the human being you are off it—prioritizing physical, mental, and emotional well-being will elevate your performance. Key Quotes: "The whole goal of the mental game is stress is coming—it's going to happen. No matter how good you get, you're going to hit bad shots. The key is figuring out how to calm down and get back to your process as fast as you can." "You have to have a growth mindset—if you don't think you can improve, you won't. But if you believe someone else did it, then you can too." "Do different to get different. If you keep practicing the same way, going through the same motions, and expecting better results, you'll stay stuck. Challenge yourself to do what others aren't willing to do." "Your swing is already there. It's not going to change the day before a tournament. Sometimes the best preparation is resting, eating well, and showing up with a clear and focused mind." "Consistency beats everything. Even if it's a mediocre practice or an okay workout, you're still showing up. Over time, that builds belief and creates real progress." "Having the right expectations is everything. If you think you'll hit every fairway or make every putt, you're setting yourself up for frustration. Focus on playing your best with what you have that day." "You can't separate the golfer from the human being. How you care for yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally off the course directly impacts how you perform on the course." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

What actually happens on a silent meditation retreat? In this conversation, my husband and I discuss our experiences on a week-long Jhourney meditation retreat. The retreat attempts to teach participants how to reach a jhana state, which is a state of deep relaxation and bliss. Spoiler alert: one of us was able to reach it, and the other wasn't! The intentionally slow pacing of the retreat allowed us to reflect on our relationships with social media and technology more generally.
