Podcasts about mental freedom

In this episode of Life Equals Choices, Choices Equal Life, host Kim Olver continues her inspiring conversation with Angela Maiers, founder of the Choose to Matter movement. Picking up where Part 1 left off, Kim and Angela explore the deep connection between mattering and mental freedom—how both help us reclaim our worth and resilience when identity feels tied to roles, titles, or external validation.Angela shares her personal story of losing her sense of purpose during COVID when her work came to a halt, and Kim reveals how that same period led to the creation of her Mental Freedom® framework. Together they unpack how the human mind can either trap or liberate us, why knowing we are needed is essential to thriving, and how simple daily actions—seeing, listening, and caring—can restore dignity and connection in schools, workplaces, and communities.Angela also introduces her newest book, M Is for Mattering: A Pathway to Meaning, Purpose and Joy, a heartfelt guide that reminds us all: You matter. Period.Learn more about Angela Maiers and the Choose to Matter movement at https://angelamaiers.com/. You can also get her book there.

Summary What if the "practical" parenting strategies you're searching for require something deeper first - the liberation of your own mind? In this episode, Janet and Doug explore the third instrument of formation: LIFE - the intentional pursuit and savoring of ideas that are good, true, and beautiful. Drawing on research about manufactured mental captivity and personal stories about breaking generational cycles, they reveal why parents can't create relational safety for their children while their own minds remain captured by anxiety-producing information systems. This isn't about adding more to your overwhelmed schedule - it's about recognizing that ideas are already forming you, and learning to choose which ones and toward what end. Janet and Doug discuss: The Operating System You Didn't Choose We inherit operating systems from our family of origin - either developing trust relationships in grace environments, or adapting through pseudo-connection to meet unmet needs Both love and sin are processes of meeting needs - the difference is the source Our bodies create efficient neural pathways to whatever meets our needs, whether healthy or unhealthy As children, we can't do what we've never seen The Effort of Decision Once you've agreed with God that truth sets you free (John 8:32), you stop wasting energy choosing between old coping strategies and new life When you live through struggle with the integrity of being connected to God and your true self, you want MORE of that joy Experiencing freedom improves your vision - mental decluttering becomes celebration rather than chore Convictions made in advance make daily choices easier (example: choosing reading season over streaming) Manufactured Mental Captivity Research shows psychological knowledge is being weaponized to keep minds "enslaved to consuming, conflict and outrage" This manufactured mental chaos pushes people into survival mode (threat detection) and striving mode (performance anxiety) Parents can't create relational safety for children while their own minds are captured Mental illness often emerges when pain and performance goals collide The Three Questions Framework What am I absorbing without choosing it? (information diet, social media, news cycles) What am I intentionally seeking? (difference between consuming content and savoring ideas) What am I savoring that puts gas in my tank? (beauty, goodness, truth as fuel not luxury) This Week's Experiments: Mental Diet Audit Track for 3 days what ideas you're absorbing Notice how your body feels after different inputs Create awareness, not shame One Intentional Choice Pick one good/true/beautiful thing to seek daily Could be: one poem, one chapter, one worship song, time in nature Focus on intentionality, not perfection Notice the Difference Pay attention to your nervous system throughout the day Do you feel more grounded or more anxious? How does it affect your capacity for your family? Remember: The instrument of LIFE isn't about adding more to your overwhelmed schedule - it's about recognizing that ideas are already forming you. The question is: which ideas, and toward what end?

Mark Ennis's story reads like a medical impossibility, yet it's devastatingly real. From a 44-pound anorexic teenager whose heart stopped, to a 300-pound rugby player, to a suicidal man contemplating driving into a pole at 120 mph—his journey through the extremes of human suffering culminates in one of the most powerful testimonies about the connection between diet and mental health you'll ever hear.In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Mark shares how three days on a carnivore diet eliminated decades of depression, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts. He reveals why he burned his nutrition certificates, how the medical system failed him repeatedly, and why he believes food addiction is behind the mental health crisis plaguing our world.This isn't just another diet success story. It's a window into how our modern food environment creates the very problems our healthcare system claims to treat. Mark's transformation from a broken man to a thriving carnivore coach offers hope for anyone trapped in cycles of depression, eating disorders, or metabolic dysfunction.Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald guide this profound discussion about the emerging science connecting metabolic health to mental wellness, the institutional barriers preventing this information from reaching those who need it most, and practical steps for anyone ready to reclaim their life through ancestral nutrition.BIG IDEAWithin three days, my mental health issues were gone, my digestive issues were gone, I was more alert, I wasn't tired anymore, I had more energy—I was like, oh my God, this is insane.Contact Mark EnnisWebsite: https://fitnessbeyondtime01.com/Special Audience Giveaway:  •5 Steps to Reclaim Your Energy and Health with Keto-Carnivore•https://fitnessbeyondtime01.com/Social Media:      •Instagram - @fitnessbeyondtime01Previous Podcasts: •Command Your Brand Show•The Low Carb Hustle Podcast w/ Nate Palmer•Boundless Body Radio w/ Bethany and Casey Ruff•Carnivore Conversations LIVESend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Leaving a covert narcissist isn't a single moment of walking out the door—it's a layered process that unfolds in stages. In this episode, I explore the three different ways survivors leave: physically, emotionally, and mentally. In physically abusive relationships, your body often leaves first for safety, while your heart and mind lag behind. In emotionally abusive relationships, your heart shuts down long before your body can walk away. And mentally? That's the hardest and final stage—when you finally kick them out of your head and reclaim your thoughts. Through stories, examples, and practical tools, I'll guide you through each stage of leaving. You'll learn why this process feels so different depending on the type of abuse, and how to give yourself grace along the way. Most importantly, you'll walk away with real strategies for physical safety, emotional boundaries, and mental freedom—plus a touch of humor to lighten the load. Your journey matters, and every step is part of your healing.

In this powerful conclusion to my conversation with Hussein Paymozd, we continue exploring his transformational leadership journey. Hussein shares how he evolved from a more authoritarian, top-down style to a leader committed to helping his team meet their basic psychological needs at work.He explains how his communication shifted when he adopted an internal control mindset, moving away from external motivators like rewards and punishments and toward a more inclusive, inspiring approach. Hussein also reflects on the profound impact of translating my book, Mental Freedom, into Farsi—both personally and professionally.For leaders still relying on control-based tactics, Hussein offers wise advice—and leaves us with a memorable quote that sums up his philosophy: "Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat." I couldn't agree more.If you missed Part 1, be sure to check it out for the full picture of Hussein's transformation.Interested in becoming a Board Certified Coach (BCC) through Academy of Choice?

"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; it is not so much the opinion itself, but the audacity of wanting to think for themselves, something that they do not know how to do." — Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) Throughout the world, mental capacity is declining, especially among young people, while depression rates are rising dramatically. Meanwhile, one in forty men and women suffers from Alzheimer's, and the age of onset is falling rapidly. But the causes are not being eliminated, quite the opposite. Can this just be coincidence? The Indoctrinated Brain - How to Defend Your Mental Freedom with Michael Nehls, MD, PhD Nehls, a medical doctor and internationally renowned molecular geneticist, lays out a shattering chain of circumstantial evidence in his book "" indicating that behind these numerous negative influences lies a targeted, masterfully executed attack on our individuality. He points out how the raging wars against viruses, about climate change, or over national borders are—more likely intended than not—fundamentally providing the platform for such an offensive against the human brain that is steadily changing our being and is aimed at depriving us of our ability to think for ourselves. As a basic researcher, he deciphered the genetic causes of dozens of hereditary diseases at German and international research institutions. Two of his discoveries were published in collaboration with two Nobel Prize winners. Another discovery of a key gene in immunity development was honored by the renowned American Association of Immunologists as a "Pillar of Immunology." For his pioneering findings on Alzheimer's disease development, prevention, and therapy, he was awarded the Hanse Prize for Molecular Psychiatry by the Rostock University Hospital. Dr. Nehls was vice president of genome research at a US company for three years and chief scientific officer and CEO of a Munich-based biotechnology company for eight years. A scientific author talented in making complex topics understandable to a wide audience, he has written several bestsellers that have been translated into many languages. As a private lecturer, he delivers lectures at congresses and universities, attracting wide audiences.
