In dieser Podcastfolge sprechen wir über unsere Gedanken, speziell über unsere Grübeleien – also darüber, was passiert, wenn wir gedanklich auf der Stelle treten und wie wir uns davon befreien können. Dabei widmen wir uns dem Gedankenraum auf theoretischer Ebene, in dem sich unser Denken positiv wie negativ bewegt. Aber wir zeigen auch an ganz konkreten Fallbeispielen von Klienten und Patientinnen aus unserer Beratungs- und Therapiearbeit, was uns dazu bewegt, an bestimmten Gedanken festzuhalten und wie wir uns mithilfe von psychologischen Strategien, wie die Gedankenstopp-Methode, Atemübungen, Selbstdistanz oder MBSR, davon lösen können.
In dieser sehr persönlichen Folge von Frauen in Führung nehme ich dich mit auf eine besondere Reise: meinen 42-Kilometer-Marsch. Zwischen Höhenmetern und Zweifel, Kniebeschwerden und Glücksmomenten spreche ich darüber, was körperliche Herausforderungen mit Selbstführung, Resilienz und innerer Stärke zu tun haben. Du erfährst: Warum Selbstwirksamkeit in schwierigen Zeiten schützt Wie Gedanken deinen Erfolg sabotieren oder stärken Warum mein 96-jähriges Ich meine größte Motivation ist Was Führungskräfte aus sportlichen Challenges lernen können Welche Rolle emotionale Intelligenz und körperliche Fitness bei Leadership spielen Außerdem teile ich eine inspirierende Begegnung mit einer 80-jährigen Mitmarschiererin, die zeigt, wie stark die Verbindung zwischen Haltung, Körper und Mindset wirklich ist.
MBSR course teacher Tom Wigan and Healthy Minds Cooperative peer outreach coordinator, Dave Miller, tell Jeff Douglas about the opportunity.
Here I guide us through a meditation where we examine how it is that we came to like someone, dislike someone, and feel neutral toward. We then call these internal representations into question so that indifference arises. Sitting with indifference until we then see through the blandness and a quality of equanimity remains.

When painful emotions are circling all around, our instinct is often to reach for external reassurance. In this practice, law professor and author Rhona Magee offers a gentle reminder that the key to calm starts with a simple pause—and we get to choose that. Rhonda V. Magee is a professor of law at the University of San Francisco. Also trained in sociology and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she is a highly practiced facilitator of trauma-sensitive, restorative MBSR interventions for lawyers and law students, and for minimizing the effects of social-identity-based bias. Magee has been a visiting scholar at the Center for the Study of Law and Society and a visiting professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week. Stay curious, stay inspired.

Go Deeper Working with challenging, painful emotions is at the heart of mindfulness practices. It's counter-intuitive, but the key to alleviating the suffering that often accompanies feelings like fear, rage, grief, or jealousy is not to fix or overcome them, but to move toward them with compassion and curiosity.

In dieser Folge von „Frauen in Führung“ spreche ich über ein Thema, das mich schon lange beschäftigt: Sisterhood vs. Zickenkrieg. Warum hält sich das Bild vom „Zickenkrieg“ unter Frauen so hartnäckig? Welche historischen Wurzeln hat dieses Bild? Und wie beeinflusst Sprache unser Denken bis heute? Ich zeige dir, warum der Begriff „Zickenkrieg“ nichts anderes ist als ein Instrument, um Frauen klein und getrennt zu halten – und was es braucht, um echtes Miteinander unter Frauen wieder lebendig zu machen. Du erfährst außerdem: warum Frauen historisch gesehen immer schon in starken Gemeinschaften gelebt haben, wie patriarchale Strukturen uns von dieser Kraft getrennt haben, und warum emotionale Intelligenz und Empathie echte Führungskompetenzen sind. Am Ende stelle ich dir Reflexionsfragen, die dich einladen, deine eigenen Denk- und Sprachmuster zu hinterfragen – und ich teile mit dir die Idee hinter meiner Masterclass „Ready to Rise“, in der Sisterhood wirklich gelebt wird.

In dieser Episode von „Frauen in Führung“ spreche ich über ein Thema, das viele von uns bewegt:
In dieser Episode von „Frauen in Führung“ spreche ich über ein Thema, das aktuell in Coachings, Unternehmen und Kliniken ständig präsent ist: MBSR – Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Was ist dran am Hype um Achtsamkeit? Ist MBSR wirklich wirksam oder nur eine Modeerscheinung im Achtsamkeitsboom? Ich nehme dich mit in die Entstehungsgeschichte dieses wissenschaftlich fundierten Programms, teile persönliche Erfahrungen – auch aus meiner Ausbildung – und zeige dir, warum MBSR gerade für Frauen in Führung eine kraftvolle Methode sein kann, um bewusster mit Stress umzugehen. Du erfährst: Was MBSR ist und wie das 8-Wochen-Programm aufgebaut ist Welche achtsamkeitsbasierten Qualitäten du trainieren kannst Warum MBSR keine Räucherstäbchen und Klangschalen braucht Wie du Signale deines Körpers früher wahrnimmst und Grenzen setzt Warum diese Praxis deinen Führungsstil nachhaltig verändern kann Am Ende der Folge gebe ich dir 5 Reflexionsfragen, mit denen du herausfinden kannst, wie präsent du aktuell bist – oder wie sehr du im Autopilot-Modus funktionierst. Wenn du MBSR selbst erleben möchtest, dann sei dabei bei meinem nächsten 8-Wochen-Kurs in Hamburg – Start ist am 28. Oktober, jeden Dienstagabend um 18:30 Uhr.

In this compelling episode, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Mo Edjlali, founder of The Mindful Leader and author of the groundbreaking book "Open MBSR: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness." Mo sounds an important alarm about a rarely discussed topic in the wellness world: how guided meditations, when overused or misapplied, can actually cause harm.This conversation dives deep into Mo's personal transformation from a high-pressure tech entrepreneur to a mindfulness advocate, and his critical examination of the modern mindfulness movement. Mo doesn't shy away from controversial topics, exploring issues like power dynamics, Buddhist entanglements, rigid frameworks, spiritual materialism, and the commoditization of ancient practices.Drawing on 15 years of experience in the field, Mo offers a transformative framework rooted in open collaboration, collective wisdom, and genuine secular integrity. This is a nuanced conversation that challenges listeners to think critically about mindfulness while honoring its profound potential for healing and growth.Key TakeawaysMindfulness requires balance: The nine attitudes of mindfulness can become harmful when taken to extremes without dialectical thinkingCommunity is essential: Practicing mindfulness in isolation misses the powerful healing potential of collective practiceTransparency matters: The field needs honest conversations about Buddhist influences and commercial interestsCritical thinking strengthens practice: Questioning and debate enhance rather than diminish the mindfulness movementSmall steps create change: Even in dark moments, simple actions like making your bed can be the foundation for healingAbout Mo EdjlaliMo Edjlali is the founder of The Mindful Leader and author of "Open MBSR: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness." With a background in computer engineering and entrepreneurship, Mo discovered mindfulness during a personal crisis in 2008-2009. He has since become a leading voice for ethical, community-based approaches to mindfulness practice.Mo's organization is the largest provider of MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) training internationally, with 550 alumni from organizations like Headspace, Hilton, Starbucks, and Navy Federal. He pioneered online mindfulness training and created the world's first global mindfulness community center through the Meditate Together platform.ResourcesMo's Website: mindfulleader.orgBook Landing Page: openmbsr.comConnect on LinkedIn: Mo EdjlaliBook: "Open MBSR: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness" (Available on Amazon and local bookstores)Connect with The Addicted Mind PodcastWebsite: theaddictivemind.comSocial Media: Facebook, Instagram, Blue Sky, and ThreadsIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who might benefit and consider leaving a rating and review to help us reach more people who need these conversations.This episode offers a rare, honest examination of both the profound benefits and potential pitfalls of mindfulness practice.

In dieser Folge von „Frauen in Führung“ spreche ich über zwei Phänomene, die du als Führungskraft unbedingt kennen solltest: das Imposter-Syndrom und den Dunning-Kruger-Effekt. Beide basieren auf einer verzerrten Selbstwahrnehmung – mit weitreichenden Auswirkungen auf dein Auftreten, deine Entscheidungen und wie andere dich wahrnehmen. Ich erkläre dir anschaulich, wie sich beide Effekte äußern, welche Risiken dahinter stecken – und vor allem: wie du dich selbst besser einordnen kannst. Dafür habe ich dir fünf kraftvolle Reflexionsfragen mitgebracht, die dir helfen, wieder in deine echte Kraft zu kommen – weder überheblich noch kleinmachend, sondern klar, souverän und realistisch.

In dieser Folge von Frauen in Führung spreche ich über ein Thema, das dein gesamtes Leben beeinflusst: Selbstvertrauen. Ich räume mit dem Mythos auf, dass es ausschließlich von deiner Kindheit abhängt, ob du dir und anderen vertrauen kannst. Studien zeigen: Gene spielen zwar eine Rolle, aber deine Erfahrungen, dein Umfeld und deine bewussten Entscheidungen machen den entscheidenden Unterschied. Ich teile auch sehr persönliche Einblicke in meine eigene Geschichte – von einem wackeligen Urvertrauen hin zu einem stabilen Selbstvertrauen, das ich mir Stück für Stück aufgebaut habe. Du erfährst: was Selbstvertrauen wirklich bedeutet, wie du deine „innere Wurzel“ stärkst, auch wenn deine Startbedingungen nicht perfekt waren, warum Erfahrungen und bewusste Erfolge dein Vertrauen nachhaltig aufbauen, und welche Reflexionsfragen dir helfen, dein Vertrauen in dich selbst zu vertiefen. Selbstvertrauen ist kein Geschenk – es ist ein Prozess, den du lernen kannst. Lass dich inspirieren, deine eigene Stärke (neu) zu entdecken!

Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of lovingkindness in the form of phrases to loved ones.Then we move into a visualization where we radiate kindness energy out to drench ourselves in the warm energy of kindness.

Joel Campe ist davon überzeugt: gesellschaftlicher Wandel ist nötig – und möglich! Joel Campe unterstützt Organisationen, Projekte und Initiativen darin, handlungsfähig zu werden und zu bleiben und sich wirksam für Veränderungen hin zu einer solidarischen, zukunftsfähigen Welt zu engagieren. Geleitet von dem Wunsch, nicht nur über Wandel zu reden sondern ihn aktiv in die Welt zu tragen ist Joel nach einem Ökolandbau-Studium im Jahr 2003 ins Ökodorf Sieben Linden gezogen. Joel hat hier Permakultur z.B. in einem Waldgarten, in der Siedlungsgestaltung und in Organisationsentwicklungsprozessen angewandt. In der langjährigen Mitarbeit an der Permakultur Akademie hat Joel gemeinsam mit Kolleg*innen mit Permakultur Design erfolgreiche Bildungsprogramme entwickelt. Joel bietet Supervision, Moderation und Prozessbegleitung sowie Coaching, Konfliktmoderation und Trainings an, geleitet von Werten wie Globaler Gerechtigkeit, Solidarität und echter Nachhaltigkeit. Gloria Kison ist eine preisgekrönte Designerin, die lieber aussteigt, als sich verbiegt und heute Stressresilienz unterrichtet. Sie hat eine Laufbahn eingeschlagen, die man nicht plant, sondern spürt. Schon im Kommunikationsdesign-Studium an der Hochschule RheinMain wurde ihr klar, dass sich in der Branche vieles eher um Ego als um Eco dreht. Bei Scholz & Volkmer, wo sie bereits als Studentin arbeitete, entwickelte sie 2014 ihre Bachelorarbeit: das Kiezkaufhaus – ein Online-Marktplatz für lokale Händler mit nachhaltiger Same-Day-Lieferung per E-Bike. Das vielfach ausgezeichnete Projekt (u.a. Red Dot Design Award, ADC, DDC, UX Design Award, Deutscher Digital Award) hätte ihr den Weg in große Agenturen geöffnet. Doch Gloria entschied sich 2015 bewusst für einen anderen Kurs: selbstständig, unabhängig, mit Fokus auf nachhaltige, sinnstiftende Gestaltung. Ihr Designansatz basiert auf den Prinzipien der Permakultur – ressourcenschonend, systemisch und nutzerfreundlich. Dieser Wandel führte sie nicht nur beruflich, sondern auch persönlich in eine neue Richtung – ins Ökodorf Sieben Linden, wo sie heute lebt, gestaltet und eine enkeltaugliche Zukunft mitformt. Thomas Jäger ist Vorstand des DDC, Permakultur-Enthusiast und Humanitarian Designer mit einem besonderen Fokus auf systemisches Denken und soziale Transformation. In seiner internationalen Arbeit verbindet er seit Jahren Gestaltung mit sozialen und ökologischen Herausforderungen – insbesondere dort, wo komplexe Krisen nachhaltige und kontextbasierte Antworten erfordern. Neben seiner Arbeit in humanitären und sozialunternehmerischen Kontexten – etwa im Libanon, in Griechenland, Peru und Äquatorialguinea – reichen seine Berührungspunkte mit Permakultur von Community-Gärten in Geflüchtetenprojekten über Beratungsprojekte auf landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in Marokko bis hin zur Entwicklung eines Sensorsystems und Erntewerkzeugs im Rahmen eines Kakao-Projekts mit Kleinbauern in Westafrika. Permakulturprinzipien spielten dabei eine tragende Rolle – nicht nur landschaftlich, sondern auch als methodischer Rahmen in der sozialen Gestaltung.

If you're overwhelmed, burned out or just trying to make it through the day without falling apart, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/courtney-schulnickIn this episode, I sat down with Courtney Schulnick to talk all about mindfulness and how it actually fits into messy, busy, real life! Courtney spent almost 20 years as a high-pressure litigator at a major law firm in Philly. The work was demanding and stressful. When she had her first child, she managed. When her family grew and life threw her fertility struggles and long sleepless nights, she kept pushing through. But she was burning out. Badly. That's when her therapist suggested mindfulness.At first, Courtney was skeptical. The idea of committing to a two-and-a-half-hour class every week, plus daily home practice, felt impossible. But eventually, she realized something had to give. She signed up for an MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) course and it completely shifted how she moved through the world. The stress didn't go away, but her relationship to it did. She started feeling more present, more grounded, more in control. She not only learned to function better at work, she learned to show up for her life.We talked about how mindfulness helped her navigate the pressures of law while raising three boys, and how it ultimately bought her another ten years in a career she had nearly burned out of. She now teaches MBSR herself and helps high-performing professionals find balance without sacrificing their ambition.Courtney broke down what mindfulness actually is: moment-to-moment awareness, without judgment. It's not about clearing your mind or sitting in silence for hours. It can be as simple as noticing your feet on the floor or being fully present while brushing your teeth. And it works. There's a growing body of scientific evidence showing that mindfulness reduces anxiety, depression and even boosts immune function.She also tackled the idea that mindfulness is just another luxury or self-care chore. It's not. It's a way of being, not a task to check off a list. And yes, even busy people can do it. You don't need to dedicate hours to see the benefits. A few minutes a day can make a difference.We also talked about how mindfulness intersects with trauma. Courtney was clear: mindfulness is powerful, but it's not for everyone at every moment. If someone is navigating trauma or deep depression, it's important to be mindful about mindfulness (pun intended) and to have professional support in place.Throughout the conversation, Courtney's warmth and honesty stood out. She shared personal stories, like stealing Snickers bars as a kid, and how her kids now remind her to slow down. We laughed about egg cups, Instagram reels and the ongoing challenge of being present as a parent in a world that never stops pinging.If you've been curious about mindfulness, or if you're overwhelmed and looking for a way to show up more fully in your own life, this episode is a great place to start.

I denne episoden har jeg med meg psykologspesialist og mindfulness-instruktør Cathrine Helgø Sasson. Hun er utdannet ved Center for Mindfulness ved University of Massachusetts – der Jon Kabat-Zinn selv var en av hennes lærere – og har over ti års erfaring med å holde MBSR-kurs i både helsevesenet og privat praksis. Vi snakker om hva mindfulness egentlig er – og hva det ikke er. Hva det vil si å være til stede i eget liv, og hvorfor det er så vanskelig for mange av oss i dag. Hvordan kan mindfulness hjelpe oss når vi står i stress, utmattelse eller indre uro? Cathrine deler fra egen erfaring som fagperson og mamma, og vi snakker også om selvmedfølelse, kroppsbevissthet og hvordan små øyeblikk av nærvær kan gjøre stor forskjell i hverdagen og hvordan vi har det i livet.I løpet av episoden er vi også innom: Hvorfor gidde å begynne å meditere?Hvordan virker det?Hva hjelper det med?Er vi tankene våre?På slutten tar Cathrine oss gjennom en meditasjonsøvelse.For mer info fra Cathrine Sasson:www.mindfulnesskurs.orgwww.facebook.com/mindfullifembsrwww.cathrinesasson.noAlt godt,AnnetteFølg meg gjerne på:Instagram.com/dr.annettedraglandFacebook.com/drannettedraglandhttps://youtube.com/@drannetteDisclaimer: Innholdet i podcasten og på denne nettsiden er ikke ment å utgjøre eller være en erstatning for profesjonell medisinsk rådgivning, diagnose eller behandling.
