If you like your mindfulness served without BS, you're going to love this week's episode! Join us as mindfulness coach and yoga teacher Oneika Mays shares insights from her book, Sit with Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation. Oneika explains how yoga helped her reclaim her sense of self; why teaching mindfulness inside Rikers Island transformed her understanding of compassion, justice, and human connection; and how loving‑kindness (or metta) can help us navigate a world that feels heavy and chaotic. In this episode, you'll learn: How mindfulness helped Oneika move from reactivity to response — and why that shift changed her life. Why loving‑kindness (metta) is a powerful antidote to fear, hate, and overwhelm in difficult times. What meditation is really for — and why it's not about feeling good.

If you have ever felt fear in your body and then immediately made that fear mean something bad about you, this episode is for you. Vanessa explores fear not as something to conquer, transcend, or shame, but as something ancient, intelligent, protective, and deeply human. Through polyvagal theory, Buddhist psychology, the teaching of the first and second arrow, RAIN practice, and self-compassion, we look at what changes when we stop treating fear like the enemy. Healing is not becoming fearless; it is becoming less afraid of fear itself, so you can stay with yourself when it arrives.Reference Links:Stephen Porges — Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Polyvagal theory, autonomic regulation, and the nervous system's safety/danger responses.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Stephen Porges developed polyvagal theory, which is referenced in the episode to explain why fear often arises before conscious thought can intervene.Polyvagal Institute — What Is Polyvagal Theory?Use for: Accessible overview of polyvagal theory and autonomic regulation.Link: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/whatispolyvagaltheoryNote: Helpful general explainer for producers/listeners who want a basic overview.Neuroception — Stephen Porges / Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Neuroception as the nervous system's subconscious detection of safety and threat.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Use alongside Porges's work.

This week, Molly is revisiting an important episode about drinking alone, drinking secrecy, and what these behaviors may reveal about your relationship with alcohol.Drinking alone does not automatically mean you have a problem. But when drinking becomes automatic, emotionally driven, or hidden, it is worth getting curious.In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores how these patterns can reinforce alcohol habits, why honest tracking matters, and how to interrupt the cycle without shame or all-or-nothing thinking.You'll learn:Why drinking alone is not the same as having alcohol use disorderWhat subtle drinking secrecy can look likeHow emotional relief strengthens the habit loopSimple ways to create more awareness and choiceThe goal is not perfection. It is noticing the pattern and choosing one small step toward a more peaceful relationship with alcohol.Low 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 ★

Your history with food and dieting didn't start with you. You saw your mothers or fathers diet and their grandparents also dieted and their grandparents also dieted. There is a long history of diet culture passed down from generation to generation and expressed differently in the trendiest, most common diet of the time. This isn't about the food, but that nervous system states, traumas, and lack of safety is being expressed through food in family lineages. Creating a safer and more stabilizing relationship with food can also be engaging in the healing of past generations who never got a chance to feel safe in their bodies and future generations to have that groundwork that you had to create for yourself. In this week's episode, I chat with Amber Caudle, chef, author, speaker, and coach, about: What a journey to food freedom actually looks likeHow the nervous system plays a role in food recoveryThe importance of self compassion, curiosity and creativityThe work of True Body Intelligence for trauma recoveryThe impact of generational trauma on food behaviors, and steps to build trust in your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/rebuilding-body-trust-after-decades-of-dietingHope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week!

What is intuition, and how can it influence the decisions we make in our everyday lives? In this engaging episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes intuitive counselor, educator, and author Jo Anne Bishop to discuss the nature of intuition and its role in personal growth and self-discovery. Dr. Bishop shares her perspective on developing intuitive awareness, recognizing inner guidance, and learning to distinguish intuition from emotion, fear, and assumption. She discusses techniques that many people use to strengthen their intuitive abilities while emphasizing the importance of balancing intuition with critical thinking, experience, and practical decision-making. Throughout the interview, Rob and Dr. Bishop explore topics including consciousness, spiritual development, meditation, energy awareness, and the ways intuition has been viewed across different cultures and traditions. The conversation encourages listeners to become more mindful of their inner experiences while remaining grounded and thoughtful in interpreting them. Whether you're interested in intuition, spirituality, personal development, or the exploration of human consciousness, this episode offers an insightful discussion on cultivating greater self-awareness and understanding the role intuition may play in everyday life.Become 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 can spirituality become a natural and meaningful part of everyday life rather than something reserved for special moments? In this inspiring episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes author, spiritual counselor, and educator Jonathan Ellerby to discuss Making Spirituality Simple and Everyday Inspired. Dr. Ellerby explores practical ways to cultivate mindfulness, purpose, and inner peace through everyday experiences. Drawing from his work in spiritual development and personal growth, he explains how simple daily practices can help individuals deepen self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and foster a greater sense of connection with themselves, others, and the world around them. Throughout the conversation, Rob and Dr. Ellerby examine topics including gratitude, compassion, intuition, meditation, and living with intention. Rather than presenting spirituality as a rigid belief system, Dr. Ellerby encourages listeners to discover practices that align with their own values and life experiences while remaining open to learning and personal transformation. Whether you're beginning a spiritual journey, seeking greater balance in your life, or looking for practical tools to nurture emotional and spiritual well-being, this episode offers thoughtful insights into making spirituality an accessible and enriching part of everyday living.Become 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.

A SÌ? IL MONACO E IL BAMBINO (Storia zen)Buongiorno, negli ultimi giorni abbiamo attraversato insieme un piccolo percorso:l'ego che perde forza, l'ego che si indebolisce nei micro‑istanti quotidiani, l'ego che si muove nelle lamentele e nei giudizi.Quando iniziamo a vedere questi movimenti interiori, cambia anche il modo in cui ci relazioniamo agli altri.Il video che condivido oggi si inserisce in questo stesso filone.Non è un invito alla passività, né un elogio del “non agire”.È un'immagine che parla della capacità di non reagire dall'ego, di restare presenti anche quando arrivano accuse o elogi.Una storia semplice, essenziale, che lascia spazio al silenzio.E che si colloca naturalmente nel cammino che stiamo facendo.Buona visione e buone riflessioniDiegoPer iscriverti alla mia newsletter mensile e ricevere contenuti e il calendario degli appuntamenti:https://mailchi.mp/c7f5d3545cf2/newsletterdiegogiaimi Puoi rimanere aggiornato su video, riflessioni ed eventi che propongo iscrivendoti al mio canale YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/diegogiaimi?sub_confirmation=1Su Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/diegogiaimiTramite il mio sito http://www.diegogiaimi.comSu instagram:https://www.instagram.com/diegogiaimi/Su Telegram:https://t.me/diegogiaimi

Send us Fan MailIn S7 E3 is a full circle moment for me as I get to welcome Dr Andrew Davies to the show. Andrew is my podcast mentor and has been instrumental in helping me get started and as an ongoing source of support and wise council. I could not think of a better guest given this season's theme of communication in medicine. Andrew has been an intensive care medicine specialist for over three decades. He experienced a period of severe depletion and burnout mid-life, mid-career at a time of overcommitment to his research career. He describes the personal and professional growth that followed and now recounts this as an experience that reshaped his entire approach to medicine and life. Today he works at Peninsula University Hospital, where he is passionate about delivering compassionate, human-centred intensive care while actively supporting the wellbeing and development of fellow clinicians. Andrew hosts his own very successful podcast, Mastering Intensive Care which recently reached 100 episodes. Here he faciliates deeply reflective conversations with his colleagues in critical care. It's a fantastic series and I heave learned a lot from Andrew and his guests to date. In this episode, we talk about: • Listening as a skill and why it matters as much in medicine as anywhere else. • Our own experiences of mid-career and mid-life burnout, and re-learning how we approach self-care and regulation as an intentional practice and ever evolving skillset.• The core pillars of wellbeing -movement, food, sleep, stress regulation and connection. Mindfulness as a muscle and the skill of making and protecting space for what matters. • Individual versus systemic approaches to wellbeing in healthcare, and why both matter.• Running, ultra endurance feats and what these teach us about community, connection, and capacity for joy. “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”— Howard ThurmanLinks:Andrew's podcast, Mastering Intensive Care: https://masteringintensivecare.libsyn.comUpcoming Community Events:Dr Dominique Lee — Book Launch, hosted by Dr Cheryl Martin.

How do the choices we make each day shape our relationships, well-being, and overall quality of life? In this insightful episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes psychologist, relationship expert, and author Karen Sherman to discuss Mindfulness and the Art of Choice. Dr. Sherman explores how mindfulness can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, allowing them to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. She explains how developing greater self-awareness can improve communication, strengthen relationships, reduce stress, and support healthier decision-making in both personal and professional life. Throughout the conversation, listeners will discover practical techniques for cultivating mindfulness, recognizing habitual patterns, and making intentional choices that align with their values and long-term goals. Dr. Sherman also discusses the role of emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-reflection in creating lasting personal growth. Whether you're seeking greater balance, stronger relationships, or effective strategies for navigating life's challenges, this episode offers valuable insights into how mindful living can empower better choices and foster a more fulfilling life. 20 Single KeywordsBecome 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.

Mindfulness can be helpful, but ultimately the mind seeks some positive engagement. According to the Vedic process, which is what we follow, there are various categories of philosophy under a sage named Dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva. We follow the Vedic process, which can be understood in the summary study of all the Vedas, called the Bhagavad-gītā. Therein is a hint of the best way to engage the mind, which is in relationship—not emptying the mind, or not just stilling the mind, but engaging the mind in a relationship. We may note that throughout human and even animal society, living beings have a vested interest in relationships. You can notice butterflies, even after they are born, consorting with one another. Birds are famous for building a little love nest; they work together, the male and female bird, to pick up straw and build a nest. Humans, you can see, going to and from Home Depot doing something similar. But the point there is not to build something, but to have a place where one can be in relationship. So, in the process of bhakti-yoga—or I could say, the great teacher of bhakti-yoga, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu laid out the tenets of bhakti-yoga that we follow even today. He pointed out that the Bhagavad-gītā and the other explanations of the Vedas, the consolidation or the essentialization of the Vedas in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, point us towards the highest form of engagement of the mind, which is called devotional service. It's underlying principle is that we all have a loving propensity. When the mind is absorbed in the idea of service out of love, then it's completely satisfied. All other states leave us wanting, and those other states are not stable; they may shift from one point to another. There is a word that comes from Latin: "enthralment." "En" means "in," and "thrall" means "to be imprisoned." When we say we are enthralled by something, we are utterly captured by it. In the positive sense of that imprisonment, there's a way in which the mind can be captured. Another word that expresses a similar concept is "rapture," which means to be fully absorbed in a topic. Well, the Bhagavad-gītā and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam point out that we are most interested in love and loving relationships. Therefore, in the essentialization of the process of bhakti-yoga, there is a system by which we can express that loving emotion that we have and connect with the object of love that is unlimitedly satisfying.

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, we're practicing patience in real time.If you listened to last week's solo episode, I talked about impatience, rushing, and how so many of us move through life like our self-worth depends on our productivity. This practice is about noticing that urgency in the body and gently turning the dial down.You don't have to cancel everything or suddenly become a completely calm person. This is about slowing down just 2%, enough for your nervous system to notice that you are no longer rushing. You are just moving.I guide you through a simple walking meditation to notice your default pace, where urgency shows up in your body, and what changes when you soften, breathe, and move a little more slowly.This is a practice for anyone who feels like they're living in fast-forward mode and wants to come back to the present moment.--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
Does a heavy feeling of dread start to build in your chest every single Sunday evening? You are not alone. In this deeply supportive 10-minute session, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett breaks down the science behind the "Sunday Scaries"—a process known as anticipatory threat processing. Your intelligent brain is simply scanning the near future to protect you from upcoming workplace stressors, unanswered emails, and the week's demands. However, your nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real threat and an imagined one. Using the highly effective 4-2-6 breathing technique (inhale for 4, pause for 2, and a long, slow exhale for 6), you will learn how to deactivate flight-or-fight mode instantly. By extending your out-breath, you send a clear message of safety to your body, reclaiming Sunday night for the deep rest you deserve. Perfect for anyone struggling with work anxiety, weekend burnout, or sleeplessness, this guided practice brings you right back into the present moment where you are safe. ⏱️ Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding the Low Hum of Sunday Evening Anxiety 01:11 – Getting Comfortable & Preparing to Release Tension 01:26 – The Science of Anticipatory Threat Processing & The Nervous System 02:38 – Breathwork Practice: The 4-2-6 Box Breathing Routine 04:05 – Grounding Exercise: Shifting from Future Dread to Present Safety 04:46 – Subconscious Hypnotherapy: Stepping Out of the Anticipation Loop 08:01 – 3 Daily Caring Tips to Beat the Sunday Scaries 09:33 – Awakening: Gently Returning Awareness to Your Room 09:50 – Outro: Share the Calm & Supporting the Anchored App
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.
