Click the survey link in the show notes wherever you're listening, or go directly to: https://tinyurl.com/happyhappysurvey. Thank you for helping us make the podcast even better!One Way To Do This Practice: Stand and settle: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees soft, arms relaxed by your sides. Take a moment to feel the ground beneath your feet and let your body arrive. Ground through your feet: Gently rock or sway in small circles, slowly shifting your weight to notice different parts of your feet making contact with the floor. Let your balance find its own rhythm. Breathe slowly and naturally: Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, allowing your breath to deepen without forcing it. Imagine your breath moving through your whole body, not just your chest. Begin gentle, flowing movements: Move your arms and torso in smooth, continuous motions—circling, swaying, or softly lifting and lowering your hands. Keep your movements relaxed and fluid rather than stiff or controlled. Soften your body and attention: Release unnecessary tension in your jaw, shoulders, and hands. Place your attention on how the movements feel from head to toe, letting your mind stay with sensation rather than thoughts. Close with stillness: After 10–15 minutes, return to standing quietly. Notice any changes in your energy, mood, or sense of grounding before stepping back into your day.

Introduction: The Vicious Cycle of Feeling "Stuck" Have you ever felt completely stuck? Maybe it's a low mood you can't shake, or a physical exhaustion that makes every task feel impossible. When you're in that state, it can feel like a vicious cycle you can't break. But what if you had more control than you thought? The relationship between our psychology (our mind) and our physiology (our body) is a powerful two-way street. How we think affects how we feel physically, and how our body feels and moves directly impacts our mental state. This is fantastic news because it means you don't have to remain stuck. You can consciously use one to influence the other. Here, we'll unlock four simple but profound strategies you can use to take control, shifting your state in minutes. Takeaway 1: To Fix a Bad Mood, Don't Think—Just Move When you're feeling down or depressed, the common instinct is to try and think your way out of it — to analyze the feeling or force a positive mindset. The principle of the mind-body connection offers a more direct route: use your physiology to change your psychology. In other words, just get up and move. This can be as simple as going out for a walk, putting on some music and dancing, or even just jumping on the spot. It could also mean heading to the gym for a workout. Any activity that changes your physical state has a direct and powerful impact on your mental state. This idea is often counter-intuitive but incredibly effective because of its speed. Instead of getting caught in a loop of negative thoughts, you can take a physical shortcut. By changing your body's state through movement, you create an almost immediate shift in your mind, lifting your mood before you've even had a chance to think about it. It's the fastest way to short-circuit a negative mental loop when cognitive approaches fail. Takeaway 2: To Overcome Physical Fatigue, Engage Your Mind Now, let's look at the reverse scenario. Imagine you are feeling physically lethargic, tired, and have absolutely no motivation to go anywhere or do anything. In this case, you can use the other lane on the two-way street: engage your psychology to change your physiology. Instead of trying to force your body to move, start by shifting your mental input. You can do this by: Putting on some inspiring music Listening to an engaging and inspiring audio podcast Watching inspiring videos By deliberately changing what your mind is focused on, you can trigger a remarkable shift in your physical energy. A great dance track can suddenly make you feel like moving, or an inspiring talk can make your body feel ready for action. Engaging your mind isn't just a distraction; it's about creating the mental conditions that give your body permission to feel energized, unlocking latent physical energy you didn't think you had. Takeaway 3: The Ultimate "Reset Button" for When You're Mentally and Physically Drained What happens when you're dealing with both issues at once—feeling depressed and lethargic? This is when you can feel the most stuck, with neither your mind nor your body wanting to cooperate. For this exact situation, there is a simple, combined solution that acts as a powerful "reset button." The method is simple: Put on your favorite music and just move your body to it. You don't need to dance perfectly or follow any specific steps. The only goal is to move your body in response to the music. This single action engages both your mind (through the music) and your body (through the movement) simultaneously. This simple act can "shift everything around," breaking the cycle of both mental and physical stagnation. It's a technique that, as the source speaker notes, "has worked really really well for me." Takeaway 4: Your Breakthrough Might Come from an Unexpected Source While the general principles of moving your body or engaging your mind are powerful, sometimes the most effective solutions are more personal and unconventional. The key is to be open to trying things that might seem unusual but work for you. Two specific and surprising personal examples highlight this point: For extreme physical lethargy: Try listening to electronic music with heavy beats and rhythms. In my experience, perhaps this works because the external vibrations of the music resonate with the body's own internal rhythms, like the heartbeat. This definitely works for me. For a low psychological mood: Try the simple art of coloring. I have never painted or done any kind of art work in my life before, yet I have discovered that engaging in a focused, creative, and non-demanding activity like coloring can subtly "shift something inside," changing my mood without me even realizing how it happened. These examples show that the best solutions are often the ones we discover for ourselves. They don't have to be complicated; they just have to resonate with you. Conclusion: You Are the Driver on a Two-Way Street The connection between your mind and body isn't a passive system; it's a dynamic, two-way street, and you are the one in the driver's seat. You have the power to direct the traffic. You can use physical movement to break out of a mental rut and mental engagement to spark physical energy. You have the tools to shift your state at any moment. The next time you feel stuck, will you try to change your mind with your body, or your body with your mind? https://www.youtube.com/live/vBgq3q3URjQ?si=-flEWRcGiHNaoSAO

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores the architecture of sleep — the repeating nightly cycles that carry us from light sleep into deep restoration and vivid REM dreaming. He breaks down N1, N2, and N3 sleep, explains why deep sleep is essential for physical repair and immune function, and describes how REM helps us process emotion, creativity, and memory. Along the way, Jeff highlights the science behind hypnagogia — the imaginative threshold between waking and sleep that inspired minds like Einstein and Dalí — and how understanding these stages can help you wake with more clarity and ease. Whether you struggle with groggy mornings, restless nights, or inconsistent energy, this episode offers a clear and grounded roadmap for understanding your sleep patterns — and aligning your life with the rhythms your body already knows.

Under her leadership, I'M IN has established Health Equity Fellowships at leading institutions across the United States, building meaningful alliances across neurology, oncology, and fertility.  Her debut book, Your Second Prime: Does Aging Suck, or Do We Suck at Aging?, delivers a bold rethinking of what it means to age in modern society. Drawing on epigenetics, behavioral science, and a personal health scare, the book challenges why we've accepted decline as inevitable. Gretchen explores the power of purpose in defying conventional timelines and embracing what she calls "inconvenient dreams"—those aspirations that don't fit society's narrow script for aging. In today's episode, Nada talks with Gretchen about her new book, and they dive into a rich conversation about maintaining our agency, autonomy, and optimism as we age. Gretchen shares the medical scare that changed how she relates to time and the 20-year journey that birthed this must-read book. Parented by hippies and educated as a dietician, Grethchen discovered the interconnectedness of our minds and bodies and the imperative to find our purpose.

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Stallworthy, the inspiring founder behind Your Reformer.  Her story begins with a deeply personal fertility journey that led her to reevaluate how she moved, how she managed stress, and ultimately how she cared for her body. Through Pilates—specifically reformer Pilates—she found physical healing, nervous system balance, and a sense of calm that became life-changing. That experience not only transformed her health, but also sparked the idea for a more accessible, at-home Pilates solution grounded in real emotional connection and everyday life needs.  As we talk, Emma shares how the practice supported her through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, anxiety, back pain, major life transitions, and the hectic realities of parenting and entrepreneurship.   She also reveals how she and her husband grew the business from an idea into a global brand—tackling logistics, e-commerce, manufacturing, B2B expansion, and launching in the U.S. market. What comes through most is her passion for movement, her belief in carving out time for self-care, and her commitment to helping people live healthier, more balanced lives—no matter their season of life.  Key Highlights * How infertility, IVF, anxiety, and burnout led Emma to reformer Pilates—and how the practice helped her regulate her nervous system and finally conceive.  * Why reformer Pilates supports a wide range of people—from beginners to athletes, from those with injuries to those navigating postpartum recovery, back pain, mobility challenges, or stressful careers.  * The moment Emma realized there was a massive demand for at-home Pilates during lockdown, and how that insight shaped the Your Reformer concept.  * The evolution of the business: logistics, e-commerce learning curves, expansion into B2B, launching internationally, and their "Kaizen" philosophy of continuous 1% improvements.  * How Your Reformer supports beginners with orientation classes, health-professional-led programs, and a robust on-demand library that meets people in every stage of life.  If you've ever struggled to find balance, movement, or a moment of calm in your day, this conversation will resonate deeply. Emma's story is powerful, relatable, and full of insight—whether you're navigating fertility challenges, juggling parenting, looking to stay active as you age, or simply wanting to improve your mental and physical well-being. Join me, Ramon Vela, as we explore how Your Reformer is helping people reclaim their health, their calm, and their confidence—one deliberate, mindful movement at a time.

This episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life drops straight into the deep end of energetic wellness. We examine the unseen forces shaping mental health, physical symptoms and emotional patterns. Connie Smock, an internationally known psychic medium, intuitive and healer, breaks down how energy blocks form, how they influence overwhelm, anxiety and low vibration cycles, and how clearing them can shift your entire reality. This conversation is raw, practical and designed to help listeners understand the link between emotional patterns, spiritual debris and long term well-being. About the Guest  : Connie Smock is a globally recognized psychic medium, intuitive healer and spiritual teacher with 35+ years of experience. She is a certified hypnotherapist, past life regressionist, Reiki Master Teacher, Qigong instructor, life coach, black belt in karate and yoga instructor. Her work blends ancient wisdom with modern energetic techniques to help people clear emotional blocks, heal long standing patterns and reconnect with their higher guidance. Key Takeaways  : • Energy affects mental and emotional health more than most people realize and hidden energetic debris can amplify overwhelm and anxiety.• Many emotional patterns and triggers are rooted in energetic imprints carried from childhood, past relationships or even past lives.• Lower energies or unprocessed energetic fields can drain vitality and create mood swings that feel personal but are not.• Empaths and highly sensitive individuals absorb energy faster and need consistent energetic hygiene to stay balanced.• Practices like Reiki, Qigong and deep breathwork help the body release stored emotional toxins and rebuild inner stability.• Hypnotherapy and past life regression can reveal unresolved soul contracts that shape today's relationships and repetitive patterns.• Healing is not a one time event. It is cyclical like raking leaves in the wind and requires conscious recalibration.• Trust and surrender accelerate emotional recovery and help break fear based loops that keep people stuck.• Spiritual, emotional and physical bodies are interconnected. Clearing one layer shifts all the others.• Connie's core teaching is that nothing is personal and everything is a soul level classroom for growth.

At the Naples Therapeutic Riding Center, miracles happen on horseback. Host Shawn French steps onto the 10-acre sanctuary where horses help humans heal — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Joined by Executive Director Michelle Schweber, Marketing & Outreach Director Christian Vanorsdale, and Leah Haven, the center's lead trainer for over 20 years, the conversation explores how connection, confidence, and compassion reshape livesFor nearly 30 years, this nonprofit has empowered children and adults facing mental, physical, and emotional challenges through equine-assisted therapy. From sensory trails and occupational therapy to anxiety reduction and emotional regulation, each session becomes a story of courage and transformation.Leah shares how horses synchronize with riders' heart rates, helping regulate emotion and reduce anxiety — while volunteers find their own sense of peace and purpose. The discussion also uncovers moving stories of nonverbal riders finding their voice, rescued horses finding their purpose, and families rediscovering joy in the process.This is more than therapy — it's a reminder of what connection can do.Key Takeaways-Horses mirror human movement and emotion — creating natural therapy through rhythm and empathy.-The Naples Therapeutic Riding Center serves over 800 people annually, including 115 active riders.-Every rider's program is tailored for specific developmental, physical, and emotional goals.-Confidence is built through doing hard things — one ride at a time.-Volunteers experience their own emotional healing through service.-Even the horses heal: many arrive from rescue situations and thrive through connection.-“Behind the Red Wall” isn't just a location — it's a community that transforms everyone who enters.Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGANaples Therapeutic Riding Centerhttps://www.instagram.com/naplestherapeuticridingcenter/

Life is not merely a series of challenges to conquer; rather, it is an intricate dance to embrace, replete with its myriad twists, falls, and unexpected turns. In this enlightening discourse, we are graced by the presence of Sifu Boggie, a Daoist guide, healer, and storyteller, whose extensive journey through diverse disciplines and experiences instills a profound understanding of the natural flow of existence. With over four decades of expertise in energy work and Eastern philosophy, Sifu Boggie deftly blends ancient wisdom with contemporary practices, empowering individuals to unlock their inherent healing potential. His approach encourages us to move beyond the notion of fixing oneself and instead focus on rediscovering our authentic selves, fostering a harmonious relationship with life's ebb and flow. Join us as we delve into the transformative practices of Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and Daoist Shamanism, inviting you to embrace the adventure of life with renewed meaning and purpose.Takeaways: Sifu Boggie emphasizes that life should not be viewed as a problem to solve, but rather as an adventure to embrace, inviting us to dance with its unpredictable nature. With over four decades of experience, Sifu Boggie integrates ancient Daoist wisdom into modern practices, such as Qi Gong and Tai Chi, to foster personal development and healing. The essence of Daoism is to thrive in any circumstance, and Sifu Boggie encourages individuals to unlock their own healing potential rather than seeking external fixes. A fundamental principle discussed is the interconnectedness of all beings, which suggests that our state of mind and body is influenced by our thoughts and feelings, highlighting the importance of mindfulness.

Have you ever wondered why you get sick on vacation? I share my all-too-relatable experience of getting sick on my recent anniversary trip across Italy, Greece, and Turkey with our resident therapist, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette. Dr. Jen dives into why our bodies often choose downtime to recover, exploring our hidden demands we carry and how American work culture fuels our "earn your rest" mentality. But, as always, our conversation expands, weaving in discussions about present-moment awareness, how to build restorative habits into daily life, and why those five-minute "mini-vacations" might be just what your nervous system needs. Dr. Jen and I also tackle bigger questions: When do you know it's time to seek professional help, whether that's in therapy or financial advice? What stigma holds us back, and how much can talking to the right person or connecting with others change our experience? From the pressures of social comparison to embracing change as parents, this episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable advice. Whether you're guilty of pushing through without a break, curious about the real signs it's time for extra support, or just looking for ways to slow down time and savor life's moments, I hope this conversation provides a little reassurance that you're definitely not alone.

John Kennedy spent much of his life understanding systems, building better systems, and saving some of the world's largest companies from defective systems. In 2007 his life took a significant turn when the US Marines asked him to develop an innovative systems-based approach to reducing casualties and restoring lives from the “wounds of war”. His innovative approach to harmoniously train the brain and body simultaneously – now called Combat Brain Training – forged an entirely new and powerful approach to significantly improving individuals, teams, and companies. High performers including Navy SEAL's, C-level business leaders and professional athletes as well as people (and their kids) struggling with issues including ADHD, Autism, dementia, depression and anxiety. All have had their lives positively changed.https://www.seniorcareauthority.com/resources/boomers-today/

Episode 3011: Kate Hesse explains how Square Breath, a balanced breathing technique with equal inhales, exhales, and breath retentions, helps restore calm and focus by shifting the body from a stress response to a state of rest. She shares personal insights on how this practice fosters comfort with life's transitions, offering both a mental reset and deeper resilience in uncertain times. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishnestbreathe.com/square-breath-with-free-guided-breathwork-audio/ Quotes to ponder: "Square Breath offers the opportunity to focus on bringing balance to your body through equal measures of inhalation and exhalation." "Square breath is able to pull you from the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight, flight, or freeze) into the Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest & digest)." "By exploring that space on the mat, I've learned that I'm safe, even if the transitions feel scary." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, Light Watkins sits down with holistic health coach, author, and one-percenter Nate Ortiz. Nate's life began in crisis—born with heroin in his system and abandoned in the ICU. What followed was years of instability: foster homes, abuse, addiction in the family, and the trauma of watching loved ones go to prison. But instead of letting that define him, Nate transformed pain into purpose.In this episode, Nate shares how he found his way out of survival mode by pursuing an unlikely dream—earning a full scholarship to the #1 basketball high school in the country—and how he turned that momentum into a life of service, coaching elite clients like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Cordae. He breaks down what's really happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight and why survival mode makes it almost impossible to think clearly or pursue your goals.Through grounded, relatable language, Nate reveals his original frameworks—the Stopwatch Method, Dream Team Jersey, and the One Percenter mindset—that helped him heal trauma, build discipline, and show up consistently for his purpose. Whether you're burned out, stuck, or just trying to level up, this episode is packed with raw truth and practical tools to help you reclaim your power and rewrite your story.Send us a text message.
