In this conversation, William Norvell discusses the vital connection between physical fitness and mental health, emphasizing that both should be viewed as a spectrum rather than a binary state. He argues that just as one maintains physical health through consistent effort, mental health also requires ongoing attention and care. This perspective challenges traditional views that categorize mental health as simply healthy or unhealthy, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of mental wellness.

If you've been dealing with constant dizziness and brain fog and you can't figure out why you feel off, spacey, or not fully in your body, this episode is for you. Dizziness and brain fog are not just random symptoms or signs of aging – they're often your brain's way of screaming that your balance system is overloaded and undertrained. Constant dizziness and brain fog can also quietly wreck your focus, drain your energy, spike your anxiety, and sabotage how you show up at work, in the gym, and in your relationships. In this episode, you'll learn why what feels like a “mind problem” is often actually a balance problem – and how to start changing it from the ground up.Human Performance Specialist Caydrick Bloomquist breaks down the hidden role of your brain's balance network in mood, focus, stress, and sleep, and why most guys never get taught how to train it on purpose. Caydrick's work in Neuro-Functional Training and Mental Fitness shows that when you start working directly with your balance and awareness systems, you can shift how you feel faster and more powerfully than just trying to “think positive” or meditate harder. Instead of floating through your day half-present and half-dissociated, you learn how to get back in your body, stabilize your system, and actually feel like yourself again.You'll hear how balance drills and vestibular-focused work – including spinning, head movements, and targeted visual-vestibular exercises – can literally help rewire your brain. These inputs tell your nervous system, “You're safe and in control,” which can calm anxiety, clear brain fog, and reduce that ongoing dizzy, floaty feeling in a way that sitting still often can't touch. If meditation has felt too slow or frustrating for you, this conversation gives you a more active, body-based way to train awareness, presence, and emotional regulation.We also explore why your balance system is really your awareness system – constantly feeding your brain information about where you are in space. When that system is off, your brain feels unsafe and ramps up symptoms like dizziness, weird vision, brain fog, irritability, and emotional overreactions. When you tune this system up, you don't just stand steadier; you think clearer, react calmer, and sleep deeper because your brain finally trusts your body again.If you're a man who's tired of living with constant dizziness and brain fog, feeling like your brain is always half a second behind, this episode gives you a new map for what's actually going on – and a path forward. You'll walk away with a new understanding of why you feel the way you feel, plus practical ideas and a fresh respect for the “hidden hardware” driving your mood, focus, and performance.Hosted on Ausha.

This week on Mental Fitness I'm joined once again by the Rider Counseling Center to talk about practical ways to navigate the seasonal time shift, build self discipline, and stay motivated. We also highlight some of the events and resources they will be offering once winter break is over.
In this episode, Harrison Tash talks with former Navy SEAL Commander Chris Irwin about why “sucking it up” isn't a sustainable strategy — and how the Mind Killer Framework reveals five patterns that quietly limit our leadership: Oblivion, Storytelling, Fear, Suppression, and Stagnation.Chris also shares the ARROW Framework — practical antidotes that build mental fitness through small, consistent reps: Awareness, Reframing, Regulation, Openness, and Wonder. Together, these tools help us shift from reactive to regulated and from stuck to growing.______________________________________________________________________________SPECIAL INVITATION: Get free access to our private online community — normally a $1,000 program — where we train owners and leaders to step up, take charge, and run the business with greater consistency.

You can count system uptime down to six decimal places and predict when a machine will fail — but when it comes to your employees, you're flying blind. You track turnover, burnout rates, engagement scores — but those are all lagging indicators, the wreckage after the crash. You've no real idea what's happening beneath the surface: who's sliding into despair, clutching exhaustion, or on the edge of burnout. If you wait until the metrics hit “bad,” it's already too late.Today's guest, John Moore, pulls back the curtain: “state of mind” isn't fuzzy, academic fluff — it's the most predictive risk factor you've been ignoring. And if you treat your workforce like a homogeneous mass, you'll keep missing the parts that matter: the micro‑cultures. Because what actually shapes behavior is not enterprise‑wide culture slogans, but the day‑to‑day dynamic between a manager and their team.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with John on LinkedInCheck out Mental Fitness IQSupport the show
What if your best ideas arrive amongst a wave of dysregulation and mania? This episode dives into that blurry space where genuine inspiration mixes with bipolar highs, BPD intensity and ADHD momentum. The hard work of figuring out what's real before it costs you dearly.I share the checks I use when ideas start firing: grounded excitement, steady thinking, intact sleep, the 24-hour rule. I talk about the times I completely misread the moment, like the night I tried to “cure depression” at 3 a.m. and the ideas I held back on that later proved solid. That tension creates doubt, grief and second-guessing, and is part of the reason why mental illness is so fractured.If you've ever wondered, “Is this momentum real, or am I kidding myself?” then I reckon this one's gonna sound familiar!--Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.-- Follow The Dysregulated Podcast: Instagram – @elliot.t.waters Facebook – The Dysregulated Podcast YouTube – The Dysregulated Podcast (Official Channel) Created by Elliot Waters — Inspired by lived experience.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Anh Makkar — dentist, wellbeing educator and founder of Makkar Wellbeing — to explore a powerful theme as we wrap up the year: reflection.In this conversation, we dive into why looking back can actually move us forward: how reflection fuels growth, how self-judgment can be transformed into self-compassion, and what mindset shifts help young professionals handle failure, feedback, and the pressure to “get it right.”We'll unpack evidence-based habits that truly build mental fitness, from simple daily practices to practical strategies for rebuilding resilience when you're feeling burnt out or behind, and the one question she believes everyone should ask themselves before stepping into a new year.Resources and Links:Ergonomic Loupes from Byron MedicalFollow Makkar Wellbeing @makkarwellbeingFollow Emma Cubis @emma.cubisFollow Talk Dental to Me Subscribe on Youtube for VLOGS, Q&A, life as as Oral Health Therapist Sign up for the Talk Dental to Me CPD Membership - use Youtube10 for 10% off!
In this episode, we look at the First Face of Mara: mindlessness. We will explore how mindlessness, often triggered by boredom, can lead to carelessness in our actions and decisions.

We talk about: What mental fitness is and why it's trainable How physical and mental strength influence each other The role of mindset in parenting, marriage, and business Why recovery isn't weakness—it's part of the process The mental reps Jason uses to stay grounded and strong as a husband, father, and leader Whether you're a beginner, an achiever, or somewhere in between—this episode will challenge you to look at fitness differently and build a life that's strong from the inside out. Topics Covered 1. What Is Mental Fitness? Jason breaks down what it means to train your mind like a muscle—and how his view of mental strength has evolved over time. 2. Mental vs. Physical: What's the Difference? We dig into how these two forms of strength differ, where they overlap, and what people often get wrong about each. 3. The Power of Transferability Can working out help your mental health? Can mindset shifts accelerate your fitness? The answer is yes—and we share why. 4. Mindset in Marriage, Business & Parenting Jason shares how mental fitness tools impact all areas of life—from communication in marriage to leadership in business and showing up as a dad. 5. Reps & Recovery Just like muscles need rest, so does your mind. Learn the signs of when to push vs. when to pause. 6. Jason's Mental Fitness Journey We hear what has tested Jason the most in recent years—and what tools helped him grow through it. 7. Final Takeaways Jason shares his best advice for couples who want to build real strength—physically, mentally, and relationally. Favorite Quotes "Mental fitness is just like physical fitness. If you don't train it, it gets weak." – Jason VanRuler "Most people think rest is quitting.

In this episode of The Black Country Blokes, Kev and Lee are joined by long-time friend DR Emily Barney from Spartannn Brain Gym– back in the very room where she now runs her mental fitness sessions.Together, they dive into a big question:Is the message “men just need to talk” actually helping – or does it oversimplify a much bigger problem?They get properly stuck into:Why saying “he should've talked” can sound a lot like blaming the bloke who's diedHow men do ask for help – and how often nobody really listensThe reality of trying to get support when services are underfunded and impossible to accessPhones, doomscrolling, dopamine and whether we're all addicted to constant stimulationThe pressure to provide, being a dad, and that “messy middle” of life where everyone wants a piece of youEmily's idea of “mental fitness” – training your brain like a muscle with “mental press-ups”, gratitude reps and tiny daily winsWhy our brains are “Velcro for negatives, Teflon for positives” – and what you can actually do about itThey also talk about taking this work into prisons, rowing challenges to represent the number of men lost to suicide, and why treating people as humans not statistics might just be the start of real change.If you've ever felt like you should be grateful but your head says otherwise, or you're sick of being told to “man up” and “just talk”, this one's for you.

What if midlife wasn't the beginning of decline, but a second chance to feel alive again?In this episode, my guest is Louis Bezich, men's health advocate, and author of Saving Men from Themselves. After years of juggling leadership, divorce, and single parenthood, Louis discovered that taking care of himself wasn't selfish - it was survival.Louis shares how purpose, relationships, and everyday rituals can transform men's health, longevity, and happiness. He speaks honestly about the lies we tell ourselves (“I'm fine”), the habits that hold us back, and the simple mindset shift that can reignite motivation, no matter how stuck or tired you feel.You'll hear about:How to turn life's setbacks, such as divorce, stress, and even loneliness, into fuel for growth.Why men's health isn't just about diet or exercise, but meaning and connection.The “provider and protector” myth that keeps so many of us from looking after ourselves.How brotherhood and belonging can literally help you live longer.Why it's never too late to start living healthy and feeling good again.This isn't a pep talk; it's a practical, heartfelt reminder that you still have time to become the man you want to be.Why You Should ListenBecause most of us know we should look after ourselves, we just don't know where to start, or how to stay motivated when life feels like one long list of responsibilities. Louis strips away the noise and shows that better health and connection aren't about perfection; they're about purpose, small routines, and remembering that others depend on us too.If you want to find out more about Louis and his work visit his website: https://louisbezich.com/.

This week on the Science for Sport podcast, host Richard Graves is joined by boxing legend Johnny Nelson MBE, the longest-reigning cruiserweight world champion in history. With a story that spans early losses, a transformative mentorship under Brendan Ingle, mental resilience, structural discipline, and elite-level performance, Johnny offers a rare window into the mindset and preparation of a world-class athlete. From his humble Sheffield upbringing through a gritty apprenticeship in Europe to standing atop the world with 13 title defences, Johnny reflects on the physical demands of his sport, the mental architecture that carried him, and how those lessons translate into high-performance sport science environments today. Whether you're working with elite athletes, exploring pathway development, or investigating the interplay of mindset, culture and performance. This episode delivers actionable insight. You'll Learn * How deliberate structure and environment in the early years set Johnny's foundation for world-class performance, and what that means for athlete development pipelines in elite sport. * The interplay between physical conditioning and mental readiness: why Johnny argues that even 99% physical fitness isn't enough without mental strength to match. * How a coach/mentor adapted learning modality to individual athlete needs (story-based learning vs. written instruction) and how that insight translates to sport science practice. * The “apprenticeship phase” of elite athletes: why Johnny spent six years as a sparring partner across Europe, what he learned about failure, character-building and resilience, and how that maps to athlete development models. * The transition out of elite competition: Johnny's reflections on his own injury-forced retirement, loss of gym identity and how elite sport practitioners can support athlete exit and long-term wellbeing. * Practical take-aways on environment design, multicultural team culture, and creating performance contexts that simulate hostile or challenging conditions (drawing on Johnny's anecdotes of gym culture and travelling abroad). About Johnny Nelson Johnny Nelson (born 4 January 1967, Sheffield) turned professional in 1986 after a modest amateur career. He trained under iconic coach Brendan Ingle at the Wincobank gym in Sheffield, where he developed not only boxing skills but a mindset of relentless belief and self-validation. In March 1999 he captured the WBO Cruiserweight World Title and held it until his retirement in 2006—during which he defended it 13 times, the most ever in cruiserweight history. Post-career, Johnny has built a prominent role as a boxing pundit, keynote speaker, and mentor around mindset, resilience and high-performance culture.

Send Me a Message! Good days don't last forever which is why they need to be used wisely. In this episode, I talk about using the times when mood, energy and motivation finally line up to take full advantage by being action-orientated and not just sitting back relaxing. How it's important to prepare for the eventual drop that's coming. Because it's true that as humans we have to endure both the good and the bad days. When my mood is elevated, I find even the most mundane of tasks bearable. Having the motivation and inspiration to clean my room, send the resume, apply for the job, book the appointment, set things in motion. Because when the clouds roll back in, it's a lot easier to cope if you've already taken steps forward. Progress makes the darkness less heavy. Stagnation makes it brutal.This episode is about momentum, not perfection. Action over comfort. Not letting the good days go to waste, so when the tough ones come, the work has been done to ensure the rewards are coming. And then the sun comes back again and sticks around for a bit longer than before.--Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!
In this powerful two-part conversation, Dr. Jody Richardson sits down with Gus Worland, co-founder of Gotcha4Life, to discuss the critical importance of mental fitness and authentic connection in preventing suicide. Gus opens up about losing a close friend to suicide and shares what he's learned from speaking with people who've attempted to take their own lives—revealing that they didn't want to die, they just wanted the pain to stop. He emphasises the crucial difference between being at a 2-3 out of 10 versus an 8-9, and why building emotional muscle before crisis hits is essential. Key Topics Covered: Why asking "are you thinking of taking your life?" is the first and most important question How to start deeper conversations with friends (hint: it doesn't have to be face-to-face) The difference between being good at giving help versus asking for it Why men need to move beyond the "she'll be right, mate" mentality Practical steps to identify and strengthen your village of support How vulnerability builds stronger friendships than years of surface-level connection Gus shares real-time vulnerability during the episode, demonstrating exactly what he teaches—reaching out to his circle when facing a family emergency and receiving immediate support.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with scientist-turned-career strategist Caroline Sangal, founder of Next Success and host of Your Next Success. Caroline breaks down mental fitness, resilience, and career alignment—how high achievers can stop chasing external markers and start designing work that supports health, relationships, and meaning. She shares her own pivot from R&D and executive recruiting, the neuroscience behind upgrading unhelpful mental “operating systems,” and practical steps to pause, assess, and realign. About the guest : Caroline Sangal, PhD is a former chemical industry R&D leader and executive recruiter who now guides professionals through evidence-based career transitions. She blends data, discernment, and empathy in her Next Success Method, integrating natural abilities, communication style, mental fitness, and a life-first career vision. Key takeaways : Mental fitness = response under stress. It's the trained ability to respond rather than react when plans derail (e.g., the “late dinner order” story). Upgrade the OS. Many adults run childhood-formed mental patterns (people-pleasing, hyper-control, hyper-achieve). These can be retrained via targeted practice and micro-exercises. Resilience is trainable. Like strength training, repeated cognitive drills build calmer, clearer responses and better decisions in interviews, leadership, and home life. Life vision first, career second. Clarify eight factors—stage, abilities, skills, interests, personal style, communication behavior, family context, goals/values—then align roles accordingly. Spot self-sabotage. Use assessments to identify dominant “saboteurs” (e.g., hyper-vigilant, pleaser, victim) and replace them with constructive mental habits. Listen to the body. Ignoring stress shows up as health and relationship costs; realignment improves well-being and presence with family. Start now: Pause → Assess → Act. Audit daily energy givers/drainers; visualize a life you actually want; take one aligned action this week.Community-Guidelines Check: The transcript contains no content that violates YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn community standards.

What happens when a professional counselor trades the therapy couch for the flight deck? In this episode, Nik sits down with Jason Pogue, a regional airline captain and founder of FlyingWell.org, to explore the remarkable journey from mental health counseling to commanding an Embraer 170. Jason shares how his background in psychology and counseling continues to shape his leadership and communication in the cockpit — and why he believes the next frontier in aviation is pilot wellness. Before flying, Jason earned dual master's degrees in Divinity and Counseling, working for years as a therapist with individuals and couples. After realizing he was giving his family only his “emotional leftovers,” Jason pursued flight training through an accelerated Part 141 program, later serving as an instructor, check instructor, and Manager of Flight Standards before joining the airlines in 2023. Today, he's not only a captain but also a union safety volunteer, peer support advocate, and mentor for new pilots. His mission through FlyingWell.org is simple but profound: to help pilots thrive both in and out of the cockpit. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. The Career Pivot: How Jason transitioned from a thriving counseling practice to a new life in aviation — and the self-reflection it took to make that leap responsibly. 2. Lessons from Therapy in the Flight Deck: Why emotional awareness, empathy, and active listening are underrated pilot skills that can transform crew dynamics. 3. The “Wellness, Not Illness” Mindset: Jason's call to reframe pilot mental health as wellness — a daily practice of emotional fitness, not a crisis response. 4. The Realities of Regional Life: Honest talk about commuting, reserve life, and family balance — and how to stay grounded when the schedule gets tough. 5. Building FlyingWell.org: Jason's vision for connecting pilots with tools, resources, and each other to sustain long, healthy aviation careers. 6. Proactive Tools for Mental Resilience: How sleep, nutrition, connection, and mindfulness build emotional “muscle memory” for when stress hits. This conversation bridges the worlds of psychology and aviation, reminding us that while the cockpit demands precision and performance, true success comes from wholeness — in our minds, relationships, and communities. Jason's story shows that thriving as a pilot starts long before takeoff. CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level? Don't wait until it's too late.

What if the fastest way to change isn't adding more, but rather letting go? Today we're talking about how to break your mental roadblocks so you can think and feel better. This snippet from Episode 211 features world-class mental performance coach and international bestselling author Brandon Epstein. A former football player, Brandon now helps leading athletes, founders, and creators think more clearly and feel better by upgrading their thoughts and emotional habits. Together, Kelly and Brandon explore the overlap between mental performance and minimalism, including how our default is to add when we want change, even though the real shift often comes from letting go. They dig into why fear hooks us, how early core wounds shape our patterns, and what it takes to reprogram unhelpful habits and beliefs such as by getting curious, naming our patterns, and rewriting the script. Brandon explains how the subconscious mind can bend our view of reality when it runs on old beliefs and why our job is to "update the code." You'll be encouraged to pause and ask: What emotion am I feeling right now? and What do I believe to be true? Be inspired to pause, get curious, and break unhelpful mental patterns for more peace.

What if your inconsistency on the golf course wasn't about mechanics—but about how your brain is wired to learn, handle stress, and perform under pressure? In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with John Weir, creator of Mental Golf Type, to explore how personality wiring, hypnosis, and mental fitness shape your golf performance and your life. John breaks down why self-image is the foundation of confidence, how stress changes your swing before mechanics ever do, and why “being you” is the ultimate competitive advantage. In this episode, you'll learn: What hypnosis really is (and why it's a natural state of mind). The role of brainwaves in learning, confidence, and performance. How self-image is formed—and how to reshape it for success. Why celebrating positive shots accelerates growth. The difference between mental game strategies and mindset training. How your personality type influences stress, learning, and consistency. Why “being you” is the fastest path to your zone state. Whether you're trying to break 90, win your club championship, or gain an edge in business, John's insights will help you understand yourself at a deeper level—and show you how to align with your strengths for lasting success.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state that improves learning and receptivity. Self-image, formed in childhood, drives confidence, habits, and athletic identity. Celebrating positive shots (with emotion) hardwires them into memory. Stress and cortisol—not swing flaws—often cause inconsistency. Personality type influences how you process information and respond under pressure. Mental fitness is like physical fitness—it requires daily training. True performance comes from being yourself, not mimicking the pros. Key Quotes: “Hypnosis is simply a natural state of mind—it's how we learn best.” “Your subconscious doesn't care if it's positive or negative—it just supports your self-image.” “Every good shot deserves a fist pump. Celebrate the positive to wire it in.” “Most inconsistency in golf isn't mechanical—it's stress shutting down the motor cortex.” “Your personality type is your wiring. Once you know it, performance becomes simpler.” “Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness—you need both daily.” “The zone isn't about being Tiger or Phil—it's about being yourself.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Understanding Hypnosis and Brain Waves 02:44: The Importance of Receptive States 05:42: Building Self-Image and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs 08:29: Emotional Anchoring and Positive Reinforcement 11:30: Mental Fitness: A New Approach to Hypnosis 14:30: The Role of Personality in Performance 17:21: Stress Management and Performance Consistency 20:17: Understanding Learning Styles and Personality Types 23:13: The Impact of Personality on Relationships 26:14: Simplifying the Path to Improvement 29:08: The Power of Self-Acceptance 32:13: The Importance of Slowing Down 35:00: Final Thoughts and Key Takeaways
On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Saw K. Myint—a Burmese-Australian finance professional and property developer—to unpack a Buddhist, science-aligned approach to self-mental healthcare. We get practical on non-attachment, moment-to-moment awareness, and why most feelings are reflections of the past—useful signals, not life sentences. This direct, toolbox-style conversation covers stress, depression, addiction, grief, aging, and resilience with clear, repeatable practices you can apply today. Perfect for listeners seeking evidence-aware mindfulness, mental clarity, and steady leadership in messy real life. About the guest : Saw K. Myint is a Burmese-Australian mother of two, CPA-qualified finance broker, and property developer. Grounded in Buddhist teachings and everyday pragmatism, she helps people steady their minds with accessible, fact-of-life practices—no dogma, no fluff. Key takeaways: Feelings are real but lagging indicators. Because mind–body processes shift rapidly, most emotions reflect memory, imagination, or reflection rather than the live present. Non-attachment isn't apathy. You still feel joy and pain; you simply don't cling. Good and bad states don't last, so act without over-identifying. Practical reset for stress/depression/addiction: Name the urge or state precisely. Ask what it aims to achieve and for how long the relief would last. Compare benefits vs. costs (health, freedom, relationships). Return attention to the next right action you can do now. Grief with responsibility. Care fully while loved ones are here; when they pass, release guilt and honor impermanence by continuing to live well. Leadership edge: Non-attachment reduces reactivity, widens options, and supports calm decision-making under pressure. For elders and caregivers: Recognizing “this too passes” reduces loneliness and softens expectations, creating peace in later years. For disability and neurodiversity contexts: Lead with respect and sameness—we all “play catch-up” with our perceptions. Daily micro-practice: During any spike (anger, craving, worry), pause–label–evaluate–act. Keep it short; repeat often.

How would your life change if anxiety wasn't an enemy to fight, but a whole-body signal you could learn to move through? In this Essential Series episode, you will learn that anxiety is a whole-body experience and how you can train your mind to move through anxiety instead of fighting it. This is a snippet from Episode 181, where Kelly speaks with licensed clinical psychologist, bestselling author, speaker, and TikTok therapist, Dr. Lauren Cook, to share insights from her international bestselling book, Generation Anxiety. In Generation Anxiety, Lauren describes the “three main sharks” that trigger anxiety (our own minds, society at large, and other people) and explains why naming our triggers can help us move through discomfort. They also talk about how anxiety shows up not only in our thoughts but also in our sleep, energy, and gut, and how certain food choices can cause or worsen anxiety, while others may ease it. Plus, you will learn how anxiety can run as a habit loop, how avoiding these feelings can keep the cycle going, and how becoming curious about our anxiety and changing our habits can make life feel lighter. Be inspired to ease overwhelm and feel calmer every day. Listen to the full discussion from episode 181 here!

Want less stress in love and more connection? Start by knowing your attachment style! In this snippet from Episode 201, Kelly sits down with relationship expert and best-selling author, Thais Gibson, to unpack attachment theory and how understanding your own style and the style of the people you care about can make relationships calmer and closer. Thais explains the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant) and shows how early formed patterns can linger as unconscious “relational clutter” that shapes how we ask for needs and respond to closeness. You will be encouraged to think about your own attachment style and you will learn how knowing your style can help you bring calm during moments of conflict. Plus, Thais and Kelly discuss a real conflict situation between two opposing styles to show how, by recognizing each person's needs, the situation can be alleviated and turned into connection. Be inspired to understand your attachment style and strengthen your connections with the people who matter most. Listen to the full discussion from Episode 201 here!
