Why can it be so hard to change your mind—even when new information suggests an old decision no longer works?In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores cognitive dissonance and choice-supportive bias, and how the brain can begin defending decisions simply because we've already made them.You'll learn:Why we tend to see chosen options more favorably after making a decisionHow memory can subtly reinforce the choices we've already madeWhy beliefs about ourselves can become conclusions the brain looks for evidence to supportThe important difference between evaluating a decision and defending itWhy a decision can have been right for you then without needing to remain right foreverThree questions to consider:If I were making this decision for the first time today, what would I choose?What evidence am I dismissing because it doesn't fit the decision I already made?Can I allow the old decision to have made sense then without requiring it to make sense now?Changing your mind doesn't necessarily mean you were wrong. Sometimes it simply means you know something today that you didn't know before.Key takeaway: The goal isn't always to be right. It's to stay willing to notice what is true. ★ Support this podcast ★

Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Aging with Power A clear, science-backed roadmap to building strength, supporting your body, and taking control of how you age. Get your copy: https://www.theunbreakablelifestyle.com/unbreakable-book   There's a heat you can't feel until it's already aging you.   Let's talk about something quietly ticking away inside all of us. In this solo episode I'm getting into inflammaging, the second great time bomb of aging, and what happens when your body's emergency crew never clocks out. Think alarm bells ringing around the clock, sirens that never quiet down.   And here's where it gets personal: perimenopause. That's the wake-up call, the moment declining estrogen strips away one of your most powerful anti-inflammatory shields, and suddenly the fire's raging and no one tells you why.   So I'm not leaving you there. I'll walk you through the real blueprint to put those flames out: how you move, how you eat, your hormones, and how you meet your stress. Because hear me on this one. Longevity doesn't just happen to you. You build it. On purpose. By design. What we cover: - Chronic inflammation vs. acute inflammation: what your body actually needs. - Estrogen decline in perimenopause: losing your anti-inflammatory shield. - Inflammaging effects: joints, heart, brain, and metabolism. - Physical activity and myokines: your systemic fire extinguisher. - Gut microbiome diversity: fueling or fighting inflammation. - Processed sugars and inflammation: what to eat instead. - Hormone optimization: working with a clinician to calm inflammation. - Mindfulness, breathwork, and sleep: lowering inflammatory cytokines.

What is the change you seek to make?On today's episode we go back to the Finding Mastery Vault for a conversation with Seth Godin, author, entrepreneur, teacher, and one of the most influential thinkers of our time on leadership, creativity, and making meaningful change. Seth has written more than twenty international bestsellers, including The Dip, Purple Cow, and The Song of Significance, alongside one of the longest-running daily blogs in the world. His claim is that naming the change you're actually trying to make is more than a branding exercise. It's what helps make every downstream decision clearer… what to commit to, what to quit, whose opinion to take seriously, and who you will have to become to pull it off. We first released this one a few years ago, and since then the world has only gotten noisier, faster and more demanding of change, which is exactly why we felt it was worth bringing back.In this episode, you'll learn:What Seth means by the change you seek to make, and why it clarifies everything downstreamLeadership as a voluntary act, and why enrollment and inspiration come before authorityWhy consistency is what makes you trustworthy enough to lead change at allHow to tell a dead end from the dip when you're deciding whether to quitWhose judgment has actually earned the right to shape your workWho to go to for reassurance, and who to go to for insightIf you have ever felt your choices quietly bending toward the approval of people who have not earned it, this conversation offers you a perspective you need to hear.

Michael O'Brien was 33 years old, a father of two young daughters, a lifelong cyclist, and a corporate executive chasing the next version of success when a distracted driver in a Ford Explorer crossed into his lane and hit him head-on at 40 miles per hour in New Mexico. His trauma team had no idea how he survived. His first surgery took 13 hours. He needed 36 units of blood. The doctors told his wife he would probably never ride a bike again, would walk with trouble, and would face many more surgeries ahead. He's now, 25 years later, one of the most thoughtful voices in the mindfulness and presence space, and his framework for how to live isn't theoretical. It was pressure tested for 13 years inside a corporate career before he ever shared it publicly. We connected through our mutual friend Megan Swan, partly because Michael and I have both recently lost beloved pets who were more like family members than animals.  We talk about what it means to take mindfulness off the cushion and weave it into your real life, why microdosing presence throughout the day works better than a 10-minute morning streak on an app, how our phones are engineered to do exactly what a magician does with sleight of hand, and what our animals are really teaching us about how to show up for the moments we have.   IN THIS EPISODE:  What Michael's life looked like before the accident, including numbing with wine every night and chasing the THIS ONE fallacy The question his mentor shared way too early that stunned him The concept of labeling our lives and how it brings us more suffering Why Michael called July 11, 2001 his last bad day, and what that decision has meant for the 25 years since How to take your practice off the cushion versus leaving it there while the rest of your day burns How to microdose mindfulness and the science behind why it works  What dogs teach us about unconditional love, presence, and the length of a life What a nurse from his trauma room told him when she found him on Instagram 20 years later   Find Michael at michaelObrienshift.com and his free app Pause, Breathe, Reflect on the App Store.

Shea Hembrey is 5 years old, walking along the road to his farmhouse on the edge of the Mississippi River Delta, where the floodplains meet the Ozark Mountain foothills. The undulating hills surrounded by dense rows of oak, sassafras, sugarberry, and persimmon trees. He spots a pale, smooth-polished fleck: an egg! “This is a baby bird,” he tells his parents. “And I'm going to hatch it.” From that point forward, his willingness to be patient – to let what is already there reveal itself – opens up the world to show its goodness. We all possess this kind of wonderful intuition, but you must pay attention to that knowing feeling and start to trust it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why does letting go of your own suffering feel like dying?Richard Moss breaks down why so many of us stay attached to our pain long after we've outgrown it, and why the act of letting go can feel like losing yourself entirely. This conversation goes beyond common advice about healing into what it actually means to touch a difficult feeling instead of fighting it, and why forcing yourself to forgive someone usually backfires. It's a different way of thinking about what your suffering has actually been doing for you all along.What you'll learn:Why your suffering might be protecting your sense of selfThe real difference between forgiveness and pretending to forgiveHow touching a hard feeling changes what it becomesRichard Moss, MD, is a former physician whose spontaneous spiritual awakening in 1977 completely changed his understanding of consciousness, healing, and human suffering.

My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain. It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/oobo_bigdeal - cs You've been visualizing success. Watching the vision board. Repeating the affirmations. Trusting the universe to deliver. Here's the truth: the more vividly you fantasize about success, the worse you perform. And the science proves it. The Secret sold 30 million copies by promising that if you visualize wealth hard enough, the universe will deliver it. But two decades of research shows the opposite. NYU psychologists tracked college graduates and found that students who spent the most time in positive fantasies about their dream jobs sent out fewer applications, got fewer offers, and earned lower salaries two years later. Your brain books the fantasy as a partial payment on the real thing, giving you the reward before you've done the work. Manifestation isn't fuel. It's anesthesia. This episode breaks down the exact frameworks elite builders use instead, why Buddhist monks sit with decaying bodies to rehearse death, and the three anti-manifestation moves that turn goals into reality. From the Stoic practice of premeditation of evils to the WHOOP method that doubles your odds of success, you'll learn why imagining failure makes you stronger and how to engineer systems that make your obituary impossible. In this episode, you'll learn: Why NYU research proves that positive fantasies kill performance and how students who visualized success earned 24 pounds less in weight loss studies and lower salaries than peers who confronted reality The five step anti-manifestation practice: write your business obituary, name what caused the death, run the survival check, extract the system, and put it on the calendar quarterly The Stockdale Paradox: why optimists died in Vietnam POW camps and how brutal faith in the destination plus brutal honesty about the path is what separates winners from wishful thinkers Why announcing goals out loud makes you quit 33% faster and how premature applause becomes a paycheck your brain cashes before the work exists The WHOOP framework: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan, and how this method doubles your odds of hitting goals by naming the exact moment resistance shows up and engineering the if-then response in advance And one more thing for the business owners: stop making million dollar decisions alone!

— What if many of the struggles we face today—our relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, or the ways we cope with life's challenges—are rooted in emotional patterns that began long before we were aware of them? As children, we all have fundamental emotional needs, and when those needs go unmet, we often develop beliefs and protective strategies that help us survive but may no longer serve us as adults. In today's conversation, we'll explore the science of Schema Therapy and how understanding these deeply ingrained patterns can help us heal childhood wounds, cultivate self-compassion, build healthier relationships, and strengthen what therapists call our "Healthy Adult"—the part of us that can respond to life with wisdom, resilience, and love. Valeria sits with Dr. Leslie Muetzelfeldt  — She is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and she works with adults in private practice in Central London.   Her background includes neuropsychology, Intensive Care/ Major Trauma and Adult Mental Health. Dr Muetzelfeldt employs an integrative, person-centred approach using Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness and EMDR. Her warm and empathetic approach aims to help adults develop self-compassion and healthier relationships by processing childhood traumas, building emotional resilience, and an ability to tolerate uncertainty.  Learn more about Dr. Leslie Muetzelfeldt and her work!

Panic Attack Relief — Mindful Breathing to Calm a Racing Chest | 10-Minute Guided Meditation with the Physiological Sigh Panic attack relief starts with one breath — and this ten-minute guided meditation gives you the fastest one there is. If your breathing has gone high and shallow, if you are trying to take a deep breath and it keeps stopping halfway, this session is built for exactly that moment. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's practice is about mindful breathing and one named technique: the physiological sigh. Two breaths in through the nose, a short sip of air stacked on top, then one long, slow release. It is the quickest way we know of to bring a heart rate down in real time, and it is the breath Martin coached people through on the front line. From there you are guided into stillness beside water at dusk — the setting sun, the ripples and reflections on the lake — while five gentle affirmations settle the nervous system and remind you that a panic attack cannot outlast a long, slow breath out. Whether you are riding out a wave of anxiety right now, managing daily stress, or looking for a breathwork practice you can return to every morning, this is anxiety relief you can carry with you and use anywhere. You are not broken. You are not in danger. Your breathing has simply got ahead of you — and it can be brought back. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – Your breathing has got ahead of you* 01:06 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety* 01:25 – Anchored arrives on iOS this Thursday* 01:45 – Instant Calm: your always-on panic attack session* 02:18 – Settling in* 02:32 – The physiological sigh explained* 02:50 – Guided breathing, three rounds* 04:54 – Letting the words land* 05:23 – Today's affirmations* 06:22 – Stillness by the lake at dusk* 06:51 – Affirmations, second pass* 08:08 – Your three daily caring tips* 08:58 – Coming back into the room* 09:37 – Anchored, sharing, and the sign-off

Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever have a routine that looks great on paper but somehow feels disconnected, mechanical, or difficult to stick with? Maybe you have the right systems in place, but you're moving through them like a checklist instead of feeling genuinely engaged with what you're doing.The structure of your routine matters, but structure alone isn't always enough to create lasting change. When your habits start to feel hollow or you're struggling to stay consistent, the missing piece may not be more discipline or a better system—it may be meaning. The way you experience what you're doing can make all the difference.In this episode, Lisa explores the powerful difference between routines and rituals and why you need both to create habits and systems that actually work for you. She explains how routines provide the structure and consistency needed to build habits, while rituals add intention, meaning, and personal connection to the things you're already doing. You'll hear how small sensory cues, intentional transitions, and meaningful details can transform an ordinary routine into something you genuinely want to return to.Lisa also shares a real-life example of helping a client create a writing ritual, along with the personal rituals she uses for journaling and recording the podcast. You'll discover how to build rituals into routines you already have without adding unnecessary complexity, spending money, or starting over. The goal isn't to create a perfect ritual—it's to make what you're already doing feel more intentional, personal, and sustainable.This week, episode 326 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores the difference between rituals and routines and shares how adding meaning, mindfulness, and personalized cues to your existing habits can help you create systems that feel more like you.Key Takeaways:Learn the difference between a routine and a ritual and why both are important for sustainable habits.Discover how routines create structure, reduce decision fatigue, and build consistency.Understand how rituals add meaning and intention to the actions you're already taking.Recognize the signs that you may have routines without enough ritual—or meaningful intentions without enough structure.Learn why you don't need to create an entirely new practice to build a ritual.Discover how sensory cues like music, scent, lighting, and favorite tools can signal to your brain that it's time to shift into a particular activity.Explore how a writing ritual helped one of Lisa's clients transition from a busy workday into focused creative time.Learn how intentional transitions can help your brain recognize that you're moving from one type of work into another.Discover how Lisa uses a personalized ritual to make her monthly journaling practice more meaningful.Understand why rituals help you move from automatic to aware and from pushing through to being present.Learn how to identify one existing routine that could benefit from more meaning and intention.Discover how to use a brief intention to connect what you're doing with why it matters to you.Understand why your ritual should remain simple enough to survive busy and overwhelming seasons.Learn how your favorite tools and supplies can make an existing routine more enjoyable and personal without requiring a shopping spree.Explore how functionality, sustainability, and personal preference can all become part of a meaningful ritual.Discover how visual cues can help you transition between different types of work.Learn why the experience of doing something matters just as much as the steps required to accomplish it.Explore how small, intentional details can make your productivity systems feel more personalized and sustainable.Understand why routines help you get where you want to go, but rituals are what make those routines yours.Thank you for listening!

Your calendar is packed, your phone never stops, and somehow your body still thinks every moment is an emergency. We sit down with clinical psychologist and mindfulness teacher Dr Elisha Goldstein to talk about his book *Tiny Shifts* and the practical reality behind emotional steadiness: you do not need a new personality or a perfect morning routine, you need a reliable way to access your skills when stress hijacks your brain.We break down the “emotional loop” that drives reactivity, shutdown, self-criticism, doomscrolling, and those “not this again” moments. Elisha explains how thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and actions link together, and why simple recognition changes what is possible by bringing more perspective and impulse control online. From there we get concrete about “release” as nervous system regulation: lowering the shoulders, lengthening the exhale, softening the jaw, shaking out tension, or even writing down intrusive thoughts, not to suppress emotions but to create capacity.We also go deep on emotional vocabulary and communication, including lessons from nonviolent communication and how AI can act as temporary training wheels when hard conversations feel impossible. Along the way we explore what emotional health actually means, how self-worth grows when we can receive kindness without deflecting, and why repeating a tiny phrase like “I am loving awareness” can be a powerful pivot when you are stuck in an old pattern.If you want mindfulness that holds up in real life, this one is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn: -The difference between manifestation and magical thinking -How your imagination shapes your decisions, identity, and future -How to stop reacting to life and start intentionally creating it -How to use visualization even if you do not naturally see pictures in your mind -Why imagining the worst case keeps your body stuck in stress -How to meet your future self and use that vision to make better decisions today -How to break out of a “reality tunnel” and see possibilities you have been missing Dr. Vieten's research is clear: Your imagination is not an escape from reality. It is one of the most powerful tools you have to change how you see your life, what you believe is possible, and what you do next.

Join Me on Substack – https://wisewomanmethod You are doing everything right for your health, and you still don't feel like yourself. Dr. Ellen Langer, the Harvard psychologist known as the mother of mindfulness, has spent fifty years showing that the mind and body are not two separate systems. They are one. And when you understand that, it changes everything about how much influence you actually have over your own well‑being.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why "mind-body connection" is actually the wrong way to think about mindfulness and health, and what to believe instead How your expectations about your body (coffee keeping you up, catching a cold, feeling fatigued) can directly create the physical symptoms you're bracing for Why women especially get stuck waiting for certainty before starting a business, and how to make peace with uncertainty instead The simple daily practice of "noticing new things" that Dr. Langer's research links to longer life and more happiness   Timestamps: (00:00) – Why Dr. Langer is called the mother of mindfulness (00:58) – What has surprised her most about her own work after 50 years (02:06) – The history of mind-body unity research, and why "mind-body connection" undersells it (05:06) – The two pancreas stories from her book, "The Mindful Body" (07:15) – The coffee experiment that shows how belief creates physical reality (09:36) – The "how much is one plus one" question and what it teaches about mindlessness (13:06) – Making peace with uncertainty as a business owner (16:03) – A nursing home story on why running risks is the essence of being alive (18:56) – Reframing failure: the glue that became the Post-it Note (22:50) – The Counterclockwise Study on reversing signs of aging (23:47) – The chambermaid study on mindset and exercise (25:04) – The wound-healing study on perceived time (27:24) – The "borderline effect" in medical diagnosis (29:06) – Why fatigue is largely a psychological construct   Links to great things we discussed:  The Mindful Body Function Health Uplift App Wise Woman Era Alli on YouTube   I hope you loved this episode!

If you've ever gone through something that changed you so completely that the language of “getting back to normal” started to feel almost insulting, this episode is for you. Vanessa explores initiation as the kind of rupture that does not return us to who we were, but reorganizes the self entirely. Through rites of passage, liminality, trauma, witness, and the loss of ritual in modern life, we look at why some experiences are not interruptions to the old life, but thresholds into another one. The invitation is to stop measuring healing by whether you can become who you were before, and begin asking what kind of life can be built around who you are now.For educational purposes only.

This week on the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly continues the Summer's Greatest Hits series by revisiting one of the earliest episodes of the show.Last week focused on the science behind alcohol and habit formation. This episode looks at two more powerful influences on your relationship with alcohol: society and the alcohol industry.Drinking is deeply embedded in our culture. We see alcohol connected to celebration, relaxation, friendship, sports, vacations, and nearly every kind of social gathering. Those messages become part of what we unconsciously believe alcohol provides for us.At the same time, alcohol is a massive industry with a financial interest in keeping alcohol attractive, affordable, available—and culturally desirable.The good news? Awareness changes things.Once you begin recognizing the messages you've absorbed about alcohol, you can question them instead of automatically accepting them as truth.In This Episode:Why drinking is treated as the social default while not drinking can still feel unusualHow years of cultural conditioning influence what we believe about alcoholWhy Molly didn't question her own drinking for decades, despite growing up with an alcohol-dependent parentHow advertising and entertainment reinforce positive associations with drinkingWhy the alcohol industry has a vested interest in maintaining alcohol consumptionHow separating facts from cultural and marketing messages gives you more control over your choicesWhy changing your relationship with alcohol requires awareness—not avoiding alcohol for the rest of your lifeKey TakeawayScience, society, and industry can all make changing your drinking habits more challenging—but none of them take away your ability to change.You may always live in a world where alcohol is readily available and socially encouraged. Creating a peaceful relationship with alcohol means learning to see those influences clearly and making conscious decisions based on what you want for your life.Resources Mentioned:Breaking the Bottle Legacy: How to Change Your Drinking Habits and Create a Peaceful Relationship with AlcoholAlcohol Truths: How Much Is Safe?Sunnyside MedLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

About a year ago in one of my PhD classes, I voiced a huge gripe I had about somatic and nervous system practices. I shared that my friction with them was that they have been stripped down and depersonalized into these practices that anyone can do at any time and will support everyone in any moment to feel calmer or more grounded or safer or more regulated. My teacher replied with, "Well everyone still needs to start somewhere." This gave me a pause to reflect that even if you choose a somatic or nervous system practice that doesn't resonate with your body and is just some blanket suggestion, it can still teach you about what doesn't work for you based on your emotions, sensations, and nervous system states. And then, sometimes you're going to nail it. You're going to choose the exact bodily movement that you needed that brings your body into a place of safety and connection and brings greater ease and breath. So I've updated my perspective that all practices in all moments can be supportive and will be a discovery of yourself and for yourself to know what works for your body and nervous system. I had an amazing experience in this episode being guided through a nervous system practice that quickly changed how I felt.In this week's episode, I chat with Alyssa Chang, neuroscience health coach and the creator of The Regulation Method™, about: The impact of neuroscience on healingInteroceptionTailoring nervous system practices to your individual needsPractical exercises for enhancing awareness of the felt sense of your bodyNavigating sensory overloadThe role of predictability in healingCreating tiny moments of changeYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/interoception-get-to-know-your-bodys-internal-dashboardThis episode was chock full of nervous system practices so you'll definitely walk away with practices you can incorporate into your day.With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Alyssa: Website: https://www.coachalyssachang.com/Email: hello@coachalyssachang.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachalyssachang/Free 45- minute masterclass: https://www.coachalyssachang.com/masterclassoptinSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
