Learn why you believe something is wrong with you or that success feels unsafe — this is the Inner Child vow you never questioned.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore The Inner Child's vow — an unconscious belief formed in childhood that can create self-doubt, anxiety, and self-sabotage, even when life is going well. Through Taoist wisdom, wu wei (effortless effort), and Shen spirituality, we gently uncover how this survival vow shaped our behaviour, and how it can be dissolved without force, self-criticism, or confrontation. This dialogue is for anyone ready to release old conditioning, trust life again, and return to alignment, flow, and authenticity. Nothing within you is broken. This is a return — not a repair.Read the blog post that inspired this episode:https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-inner-childs-vowOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

In this guided meditation, Tara Brach invites you to step out of the trance of incessant thinking and return to the living presence of your body, breath, and awareness. As we move through life identified with thought, we can lose touch with the aliveness, vastness, and mystery of Being. This practice offers a gentle pathway to inhabit your energetic form—sensing the vibrancy of life moving through you—while also resting in the boundless, formless stillness that is the source of all experience. This meditation is especially supportive if you're seeking: • Relief from overthinking and mental fatigue • A deeper sense of embodied presence • Connection with stillness, awareness, and source • Mindfulness meditation for inner peace and awakening   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Joseph Goldstein discusses equanimity and how to remove the self from the knowing, effectively freeing ourselves from identification with awareness.This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein mindfully explores:Thoughts as passing phenomena that do not truly belong to anyoneSeeing all experiences as the simultaneous arising of both knowing and objectLetting go of our identification with knowing and awarenessShifting from active voice to passive voice as a mindfulness practiceThe near enemies of the mental qualities listed in the BrahmaviharasEquanimity and holding all things equally, seeing things for what they areThe difference between impartiality and indifference, openness versus carelessnessNavigating the complexity of our lives through the balance of compassion and equanimityMaintaining an interest in exploring rather than relying on our preconceptions about people and situationsThis episode was recorded at the Insight Meditation Society Forest Refuge and originally published on Dharmaseed“When you look for the mind there's nothing to find and the not finding is the finding. It's to see that there is nothing to find and when there is nothing to find, there is nothing to identify with.” –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm excited to share Part 2 of my 2025 yearend retrospective, which highlights the most impactful insights shared by our amazing guests, as determined by you, the listener. The goal of this special 2-part episode is to lay the foundation such that 2026 is your best year yet!What is incredible to me is how similar the core themes were across the different guests who joined us on the program. Not surprisingly, curiosity was a major area of emphasis. In a world of constant change, being curious about ourselves and others is vitally important to unlock our individual and collective potential.We also touched on the importance of community and belonging to create cultures of peak performance. Emotions were also discussed in depth, not as a distractor, but more as a navigational compass. Becoming friends with our inner worlds and listening intently to the lessons our emotions are trying to teach us was a crucial takeaway from this past year.Last but not least, and building on the past thread, in a world of AI, it is essential not to delegate our thinking to technology. While it is an invaluable and powerful thought partner, we, the user, needs to continue to be the thought leader. Being more mindful and intentional about the questions we ask is the key to our success! I hope these episodes provide some actionable insights you can leverage in 2026 and beyond!What You'll Learn- Curiosity: A superpower in leadership and in life- Social sensitivity and team success- The 3 C's of meaningful work: Community, contribution, challenge- AI as a leadership tool: The CRIT Framework- Cognitive diversity and team innovation- Unleashing creativity and problem finding- Embracing emotions in leadership- The power of matteringKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Personal growth, Professional Development, Uncomfortable Conversations, Team Dynamics, Individual/Collective Excellence, Mindfulness, Navigating Uncertainty, Embracing Curiosity, Asking Questions, Building Resiliency, Authentic Leadership, Psychological Safety, Positive Change, Managing Stress, Success Principles

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly picks up where last week's conversation on the Fresh Start Effect left off and explores what happens in the brain after motivation fades. Using neuroscience and behavior change research, she explains why January 8 is often the point where people assume they have failed, even though this is actually the phase where real change begins.Molly breaks down why most New Year's intentions are abandoned by mid-January and reframes this not as a lack of discipline, but as a misunderstanding of how the brain works. She explains the difference between motivation and follow-through, the role of dopamine, and why the brain naturally resists energy-intensive new behaviors. The episode focuses on how to create conditions that support consistency without relying on willpower.What You'll LearnWhy most New Year's resolutions are abandoned by mid-JanuaryHow the Fresh Start Effect creates motivation but not sustainabilityThe difference between motivation and follow-through in the brainThe role of dopamine in anticipation versus long-term changeWhy habits live in different brain circuits than goalsHow the brain prioritizes energy conservationWhy resistance and friction are expected during behavior changeHow follow-through builds self-trust over timeKey Concepts ExplainedFresh Start Effect as a motivational sparkDopamine and why motivation naturally fadesPrefrontal cortex as the center of planning and intentionBasal ganglia and its role in habit automationEnergy conservation as a primary function of the lower brainFollow-through as infrastructure, not enthusiasmPractical Principles Shared in the EpisodeReduce decisions to conserve cognitive energyAnchor new behaviors to existing routines through habit stackingShrink behaviors to reduce resistance and threatExpect friction as part of learning, not failureBuild evidence through repetition rather than relying on excitementKey TakeawaysMotivation fading does not mean you are behindFollow-through begins when excitement endsConsistency during low motivation is what rewires the brainSmall steps repeated over time create sustainable changeSelf-trust is built through evidence, not intentionRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Myth of the Fresh Start BrainConsistency: The Brain's Super PowerThe Iterative Mindset and Behavior ChangeBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardUnbreakable Habits and the Voice That Keeps Them Alive ★ Support this podcast ★

If you have ever set a goal you truly cared about... only to watch yourself slowly drift away from it, this episode is for you. In today's episode, Dr. Stacy breaks down why most goals fail — and it has nothing to do with motivation or discipline. The real problem? We set big goals without anchoring them to identity, we expect perfection, and we plan for an ideal life that does not actually exist.This episode walks you through a simple, repeatable goal system designed for real life — busy schedules, low-energy days, emotional weeks, and a brain that does not love change.You will learn:Why motivation is not the missing ingredient (and what actually is)How to set goals based on who you are becoming — not who you think you “should” beWhy big goals need tiny, realistic steps to actually workHow to make your goals specific, measurable, and doableThe most common obstacles that derail goals (time, energy, emotions, and your brain)How to plan for obstacles using the “When X happens, I will do Y” frameworkWhy “bare minimum” plans are the secret to consistencyHow to check in, adjust, and keep going — without all-or-nothing thinkingThis is not about perfection.This is not about willpower.And it is definitely not about starting over every Monday.It is about building identity-based goals, planning for real life, and creating habits that actually stick — all the way through 2026.

Traditionally, many of us were led to believe that our brains reach a fixed state in adulthood, but recent scientific breakthroughs reveal an exciting reality: our brains are not hardwired and, instead, possess remarkable adaptability and the capacity to change throughout our lives. This understanding offers a sense of hope, empowering us to take charge of our mental wellness.I emphasize the importance of retraining our brains to navigate away from anxiety. To break free from the anxiety cycle, we must forge new neuropathways while simultaneously dismantling the old ones that tether us to fear. This process is not merely an academic exercise; it happens organically as our brains utilize the remnants of old pathways to build new connections. Thus, whether we consciously train our brains or not, change is inevitable, making it essential for us to guide that change purposefully.Mindfulness emerges as a cornerstone in this journey, enabling us to cultivate awareness and intentionality in our daily lives. I discuss the impactful role that mindfulness plays in breaking free from automatic responses, compelling us to engage more fully with our thoughts and experiences. By becoming vigilant about our mental habits, we create space for healthier, more peaceful thoughts to flourish. I draw an analogy of a rider managing a horse; just as the rider must train the horse to move in the desired direction, we must learn to direct our thoughts consciously to foster the change we seek.#anxiety, #neuroplasticity, #mentalhealth, #mindfulness, #anxietyrecovery, #brainhealth, #stressrelief, #wellness, #selfcare, #personalgrowth, #healing, #mindset, #calm, #podcast, #mentalwellness, #ginaryan, #anxietycoachespodcast, #brainplasticity, #overcominganxiety, #meditation, #intentionality, #selfhealing, #neuroscience, #mentalhealthmatters, #innerpeace, #journaling, #anxietysupport, #healthyliving, #positivity, #growthmindsetSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you're trying to be productive, what if the answer isn't to do more… but to do less, better?On today's episode, we welcome back Cal Newport — Georgetown computer science professor, bestselling author of Deep Work and Slow Productivity, and one of the most influential voices on focus, sustainable achievement, and the hidden costs of our digital lives. Cal and Dr. Mike pick up where their first conversation left off — exploring why the human brain can't do its best work while juggling five active tasks, how context switching quietly crushes output, and what leaders can do to build cultures that protect focus without adding headcount. On the human side, Cal dives into digital fatigue, rethinking our relationship with phones, and how parents can create healthier tech norms at home. Finally, he looks ahead to AI — not with fear, but with clarity about how it can remove friction and restore our ability to think deeply.In this episode, you'll learn:Why doing fewer things at once leads to faster, better resultsHow to reduce context switching and build deep work into team cultureThe difference between true productivity and “pseudo-productivity”How to counter digital fatigue at work and at home — with different strategies for eachWhat parents should know about phones, social media, and attentionHow AI can actually protect deep work when used wiselyThe heart of this conversation: mastery in the modern world isn't about speed or volume — it's about depth, clarity, and choosing what truly deserves your attention._________________________________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

How can understanding neuroscience transform your decision-making and productivity? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cherian Koshy, author of Neuro Giving: The Science of Donor Decision Making, for a thought-provoking conversation that explores how neuroscience, decision science, and generosity shape productivity, leadership, and burnout prevention. Cherian shares how decades of work in nonprofit leadership led him to uncover the hidden neurological drivers behind trust, motivation, and decision-making. Together, Gerald and Cherian unpack why humans are not rational beings but rationalizing ones, and how understanding the brain's shortcuts can immediately improve focus, energy management, and meaningful work. The conversation dives into reframing productivity, aligning work with purpose, avoiding burnout through intentional structure, and designing environments where creativity and collaboration thrive. Cherian explains how urgency and constant stress drain the brain, why rest and downtime are essential for creativity, and how leaders can build trust-based cultures that unlock collective intelligence.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Mindfulness of Death"

In this episode: Visualize your ideal future with clarity and intention.Welcome! In today's guided meditation, we'll practice visualization—a powerful tool for imagining and connecting with the life you truly desire.We'll begin with the fundamentals: cultivating presence and mindfulness. By observing our thoughts without judgment, we anchor ourselves in the present moment, releasing attachment to past regrets or future anxieties.As you settle into a state of calm relaxation, we'll begin to visualize your ideal life in rich detail. You'll engage all your senses—seeing the scenes unfold, hearing the sounds around you, and feeling the emotions that arise in this envisioned reality.Once you're fully immersed in this visualization, I'll introduce an unexpected element that deepens the practice.Are you ready? Let's begin!

Happy New Year to all the Love Is The Power listeners! We're kicking off 2026 with an episode for anyone who's ever looked at someone else and had the thought, “They have something I don't have.” For those who walk the path of being some kind of seeker, it can be especially enticing to believe this thought in relation to someone who appears to ‘have' enlightenment. Katie herself says she doesn't know anything about enlightenment – she just knows the difference between what hurts and what doesn't. But that doesn't stop the mind with this belief, which is why this week's line of inquiry is so profound. Welcome back – let's do The Work.

This anchoring practice is about creating a daily habit of tuning into your nervous system with curiosity.A few years ago, one of my mentors shared something that has stayed with me. You don't want to attune to your nervous system only when life gets hard or everything feels like it's falling apart. You want nervous system hygiene. A daily relationship. A practice of checking in before you're overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted. So that when life does get hard, you don't find yourself upside down and completely shaken.Because this is how we change generational patterns.Not in the hot moments of crisis.Crisis will happen. Life will inevitably get hard but this is not the time to try to figure out your nervous system. You don't learn how to anchor a boat for the first time in the middle of a storm. When you've practiced anchoring in calm waters, you intuitively know how to respond when things get rough.It's pretty easy to move through life when things are going well. When our health feels stable, our kids are okay, our relationships feel calm, and life isn't asking too much of us.Our strength isn't tested when life is easy. It's tested when something feels uncertain. When a symptom shows up. When a child is struggling. When we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying more than we know what to do with.And in those moments, most of us instinctively look outward for support. For answers. For something to fix or soothe what we're feeling.But one of the most powerful shifts we can make is realizing that the greatest support isn't external. It's internal.It's the relationship you have with your own body. It's whether you know how to check in. It's whether you can notice what's happening inside of you before you're pushed into reaction.This is what we are doing in this practice.Just learning how to be with yourself, consistently, so that when life gets hard, you know how to loving sit with yourself and respond with confidence instead of reacting with fear.This practice is about connecting your own dots and getting curious about how your system speaks.Thanks for listening!

So today we’re going to work on doing something that is not restrictive, but yet just replacing. So for example, this is just again, all about practicing discipline. And so instead of cutting something out completely, we’re just gonna do a swap. So one of the easier, Examples I can think of for this is maybe you drink a sugary drink or soda every day. Instead, consider drinking a glass of water in place of that or replace it with something closer to a soda, which would be maybe a diet soda, sugar-free soda, something like that. So rather than just trying to ditch the habit completely, we’re going to do a replacement behavior. And the reason this works is that substitution is just a lot easier than restriction, right? So small swaps can really improve your diet quality without having to do any crazy, really restrictive things. Like for example, keto, as you know, that that’s what I’ve done very strictly in the past. Right now, just so you know, I would still say I’m low carb, but I have kind of changed the way that I have been eating over the last year because I’ve started strength training a lot more and I did a bodybuilding competition. And so my diet looked a little bit different than it has for the past seven years, but I’m definitely still low carb and go in and out of ketosis at times still, but much more carbs in my life. Right. So that’s the example is that when you do something like keto and you go all in at the beginning, you’re really doing a lot of restriction, but instead can you replace those? And that’s really what it looks like for a healthy diet, no matter what kind of style of eating you choose, whether it’s just eating more whole foods or eating less sugar, whatever it is for you, making those adjustments in a sense that you’re replacing something rather than restricting it is a lot easier. So in the idea of like the keto diet, one of the things like so for example, carbs, let’s say potatoes well. Cheryl McColgan (02:09.814)instead of just getting rid of potatoes altogether, maybe replace it with something else that’s lower carb like cauliflower. Cauliflower is the solution for everything, right? So it’s just a replacement thing. And it also just create better adherence because if you try to cut everything out at once, and that’s really, again, what this whole challenge is all about is that year after year when I’ve talked to people or worked with people on doing new habits or New Year’s resolutions or goals for the new year, people always tend to bite off more than they can chew because when it comes to the time of year, like if you happen to be doing this in January, I mean, I hope you pick it up anytime. Because like I said, it’s always for me, it’s like, okay, notice that you need some help with something and don’t wait till Monday, don’t wait till tomorrow, just start doing it now again. So you could start this challenge over any time that you need it. But really it’s… Cheryl McColgan (03:28.281)But really what it’s meant to do is get you thinking in the right direction and start trying little new things so that you can create bigger changes later if that’s your goal. Or maybe there’s something that you think you want to change in your life. So maybe you try this one little habit around that first and then you think, okay, well that’s really not the right way to approach it. Or maybe you don’t actually need to change that thing at all. Maybe you just need to replace some behavior. So anyway, I hope that gives you some sense of why we’re doing it this way. But also in this particular one, like the restriction versus replacement, it’s just an easier behavior change. Because if you’re still going to have, here’s another example, if you need to cut down your coffee, right, or cut down your caffeine, instead of cutting out coffee completely, maybe you switch to decaf or maybe you switch to half-caf. You still get the taste, you still have the behavior, you still have the enjoyment of it, but without the thing that you’re trying to negatively impact. So hopefully that makes sense. Just doing these behaviors that replace things rather than restricting them is a lot easier. It can also just make you if you if you’re working on diet in particular, I mentioned adherence like diet is probably the place where it really impacts the most. Because again, like cutting out those things that you love is eventually going to cause a rebound effect process possibly whereas if you put in something similar but healthier, it just makes that behavior easier to repeat over time. And then you might find as you practice behavior longer and longer, it becomes more of a habit. Then maybe you cut down or cut back or cut out certain things because there are definitely certain things. And again, diets probably the best example, but there’s, there’s definitely things in your diet that just aren’t healthy and you’d be better off if you cut them out completely. And you probably say the same things about some lifestyle behaviors as well. So I think I may or may not have mentioned earlier in the challenge that You know, another thing that people like to look at this time of year tends to be behaviors around alcohol. And I, in the past, had interviewed Ian, who’s the founder of Sunnyside, and he had reached out to me because they’re doing something this month. So their app is available year round. And it’s actually a really cool app because it’s kind of on the same vein. It’s not totally taking the behavior away or it’s not restricting. It’s just asking you to be more mindful and track things. And as you track things and become more mindful, Cheryl McColgan (05:54.37)sometimes your behavior changes automatically. And so around alcohol, they’re not saying don’t drink at all, but they’re just saying be more mindful and maybe eventually do replacements, do mocktails, do different kinds of beverages, or eventually start cutting back. But it’s the tracking and the mindfulness about it and that substitution behavior that makes it really useful. So anyway, I’ll make sure that is in the show notes as well because they are actually offering a totally free. January program that you don’t even have to put your credit card in for. But anyway, the app is really awesome. And if that’s one of your behaviors that you’d like to do this substitution with, I would definitely recommend trying that app at some point. So hopefully this makes sense. That’s a pretty simple habit to try for a day. Just swap one thing. We’re just replacing or changing slightly. We’re not restricting. But just, again, that practice of being mindful around this and noticing what it is you might need to change, I think will be super helpful. So. That is it for today. I will see you again tomorrow.

This episode centers on listening — to ourselves, to others, and to the deeper awareness that helps us release fear, judgment, and mental clutter. Jim Ellermeyer and Santina discuss compassion, choice points, and the stories we hold onto, as well as the freedom that comes from letting them go. Through reflection and shared experience, this conversation invites listeners to slow down, practice mindfulness, and approach life with greater understanding and non-judgment.

If you were raised in a dysfunctional, toxic home, and you struggle today with codependency, self-worth, and relationships, it is easy to lose a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Childhood trauma arrests the mind in a state of hypervigilance, worry, and fear. And although that is not your fault, if this is your experience, until we stop, look within, and take the time to integrate the past with the now, our future becomes a copy of the past, like it or not.  There is great hope for the one willing to go within. Lisa A. Romano gently unpacks why so many of us feel stuck chasing something outside ourselves—while the real answer lives in the now. Through neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, she shows how trauma wires the brain to equate authenticity with danger, creating the illusion of separation from your highest self— and how to integrate, regulate, and come home to who you truly are. You'll learn: • Why the brain's prediction machine keeps you looping old stories • How the ego clings to identities (both "I'm great" and "I'm broken") to feel safe • Using mindfulness & metacognition to quiet the default mode network • Practical ways to down-regulate the nervous system and end the inner war • The first veil to break: "I am separate from my true self" • How integration (not perfection) creates purpose, peace, and presence Chapters 00:00 Welcome – If meaning feels out of reach 02:12 Trauma, neurology & the illusion of self 06:45 The first veil: separation from the higher self 10:18 Why your brain resists authenticity (safety vs. unfamiliar) 14:30 Ego identities on both ends of the spectrum 18:40 Mindfulness, observer mode & metacognition 22:55 Integration over fragmentation: ending the inner war 27:40 Rewiring shame & reclaiming self-worth 32:10 Unity, love-consciousness & true purpose in the now 36:50 Your next steps + resources Take the next step Ready for a map to rewire your mind and reconnect to your true self?
