Podcasts about mental fitness

Over the past year, Chris Irwin — retired Navy SEAL and creator of RareSense — has walked us through his complete framework for training your mind like you train your body. In this supercut, we're bringing all four conversations together to cover the five MindKillers (oblivion, storytelling, suppression, fear, and stagnation) and their countermeasures — the specific tools you can use to stop sabotaging your mental fitness. 

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.

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.

Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) uses sound to produce vibrations that are applied directly to the body. During the vibroacoustic therapy process, a client lies on the specially designed mat or bed or sits in a chair that is embedded with speakers or transducers which transmit specific computer-generated frequencies into vibrations. Since the human body is over 70% water and since sound travels 5 times more efficiently through water than through air, sound frequency stimulation directly into the body is a highly efficient means for total body stimulation at a deep cellular level. The term Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) was coined in the 1980s by the Norwegian therapist and educator, Olav Skille. Research in Europe and throughout North America has shown that audio waves in the range of 30Hz-120Hz transmitted through the vibroacoustic device have a very positive effect on various systems of the bodyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

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!

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Jeff Cohn, a retired hematologist-oncologist whose journey took him from the patient bedside to the halls of hospital leadership and, ultimately, to coaching fellow physicians. Dr. Cohn shares deeply moving stories from his clinical days—like orchestrating a final, meaningful anniversary for two dying patients—as well as the challenges and motivations that led him to transition into healthcare quality improvement. Through engaging anecdotes, Dr. Cohn reveals how he championed transformative approaches to organizational change, particularly the innovative use of “positive deviance” to tackle MRSA infections in the hospital. He explains how listening to frontline healthcare workers and drawing out internal best practices led to remarkable reductions in hospital-acquired infections—by 85%! Along the way, you'll learn about practical facilitative techniques, such as “liberating structures,” that empower teams and ensure every voice is heard. The episode also delves into the realities of clinician burnout, the complexities of driving system-wide change, and Dr. Cohn's current passion: coaching physicians in positive intelligence and mental fitness. Whether you're a healthcare professional or simply interested in sustainable, people-centered medicine, this conversation offers inspiring perspectives and actionable insights on making systems—and ourselves—work better. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Harnessing Frontline Wisdom: Dr. Cohn described the transformative power of inviting frontline staff to identify solutions—a process called “positive deviance.” By genuinely asking nurses, transporters, and other care team members for their ideas (and truly listening), his organization achieved an 85% reduction in MRSA infections, all through internally sourced solutions. Liberating Structures Make Meetings Matter: Traditional hospital meetings too often drain energy and stifle creativity. Dr. Cohn's team used “liberating structures”—simple yet structured facilitation tools—to ensure every voice was heard, which sparked engagement and uncovered innovative solutions. Prioritizing Wellbeing for Sustainable Change: Through his coaching work, Dr. Cohn now helps physicians leverage mental fitness and positive psychology. He emphasizes that systemic change should support—not overwhelm—the clinical workforce, and that even within challenging systems, there are individuals and habits from which we can all learn. Meet Dr. Jeff Cohn: I'm a native Philadelphian, trained as a hematologist/medical oncologist. I practiced/taught/did clinical research full-time for the first 15 years of my career. I then was asked to assume various non-clinical roles (division head, interim Chair of Internal Medicine, Chief Quality Officer).

Ever wondered what happens when women truly see themselves through fresh eyes? Liz Hansen, owner of Chicago Boudoir Photography, reveals the transformative magic that occurs in her studio every day."Is that me?" It's the question Liz hears most often when women first see their unedited photos during a boudoir session. That moment of recognition, seeing yourself as beautiful, powerful, and sensual exactly as you are has changed the lives of over 2,000 women who've stepped in front of Liz's camera since 2018.What began as Liz's own personal transformation through a boudoir session has evolved into a mission-driven business that goes far beyond photography. With an all-female staff and a commitment to creating a safe, affirming environment, she's built not just a successful studio but a thriving community of over 10,000 women who support each other in embracing confidence.Liz shares powerful insights about entrepreneurship that apply to any purpose-driven business: "Ready is not a state of being—it's a decision." Whether stepping in front of a camera or launching a new venture, waiting until you feel completely prepared might mean never taking that first step. Her approach of serving just one client per day ensures a "queen for the day" experience while maintaining a sustainable business model.For women hesitant about trying boudoir photography, Liz's message is simple: you don't need to change anything about yourself to be worthy of celebration through beautiful imagery. And for entrepreneurs struggling with the challenges of building something meaningful, she offers hard-earned wisdom: "Starting a business is the work of a lifetime. It's like having a newborn baby and trying to get it to grow up and be self-sufficient."Connect with Liz at chicagoboudoir.com to explore free resources on empowerment or to learn more about creating your own transformative boudoir experience.Hello from your host, Carol Clegg – your mindset and accountability coach for women coaches, entrepreneurs and small teams!

If the chaos of everyday life has you feeling uncertain, or if the unknowns of a purpose-driven project are triggering resistance, this conversation is for you! In this snippet from episode 185, you'll be inspired to embrace uncertainty rather than shy away from it. Kelly is joined by international best-selling author, minimalist pioneer, podcaster, top 25 blogger (ZenHabits.net), and father of six, Leo Babauta.

In this discussion, Leo shares practical strategies to help you move toward uncertainty and take action despite the unknown, manage inner resistance, and rewrite the limiting stories in your mind by leaning into curiosity. He also explains how purpose often lies beyond your comfort zone and how staying in the familiar can hold you back from real growth.

I've ruined it. Everybody seems to think that if they're not a raw vegan, then there's no point in eating healthy. And I think that's a mistake. Drew Ramsey, MD: That's a huge mistake. It's also not what the data says, if you look at research. What I've tried to bring to the mental health world is the notion that we need to think about food when we're thinking about things like depression, anxiety, bipolar illness, trauma recovery, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, all of these have big nutritional implications. Our guest, Drew Ramsey, MD, is a board certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author. ​His work focuses on evidence-based integrative psychiatry, Nutritional Psychiatry and male mental health. He founded the Brain Food Clinic, a digital mental health practice, and Spruce Mental Health in Jackson, Wyoming.

He and his team have created three e-courses: Healing the Modern Brain, Eat To Beat Depression, and Nutritional Psychiatry for Clinicians; along with free downloads, the free nutritional psychiatry cooking class the Mental Fitness Kitchen, a weekly mental health update newsletter Friday Feels, and a mental health and mental fitness focused podcast. ​His latest book, “Healing the Modern Brain: Nine Tenets To Build Mental Fitness and Revitalize Your Mind,” will be published by Harper Collins in March 2025. His previous books helped establish Nutritional Psychiatry and explore the connection between food and mental health: the international best-seller “Eat To Beat Depression and Anxiety” (HarperWave 2021) now translated into 9 languages; the award-winning cookbook “Eat Complete: The 21 Nutrients that Fuel Brain Power, Boost Weight Loss and Transform Your Health” (HarperWave 2016); the bestseller “50 Shades of Kale” (HarperWave 2013) and “The Happiness Diet: A Nutritional Prescription for a Sharp Brain, Balanced Mood and Lean, Energized Body” (Rodale 2011).  ​Learn more at DrewRamseyMD.com.
