Podcasts about modern life

In this episode, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz walks us through unseen forces shaping our health, energy, and emotional lives. From the chemicals in our food system to the hidden drivers of inflammation and burnout, we dive into why so many people today feel exhausted, misaligned, and disconnected from their true well-being.We examine how modern culture normalizes habits and environments that work against our biology, and why healing requires more than symptom management — it demands addressing the root causes, rebuilding alignment, and taking ownership of what we allow into our bodies and minds.20% off Pique Life Tea (FREE glass beaker and frother!):https://www.piquelife.com/knowthyselfAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro: Will Bulsiewicz02:34 How much of our mood is controlled by our gut?09:40 Two diseases: individualism and materialism23:30 The intelligence that lives in our gut35:31 Ad: Pique Life36:46 What is immune intelligence?48:01 Detoxing from environmental toxins54:54 Why are chemical companies allowed to poison us?57:39 A short horror story1:02:45 Looking out for what to avoid1:05:27 The effects of factory farming on our bodies1:17:36 Humans are the microbes of the Earth1:26:23 Conclusion: Changing the world___________Episode Resources: https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Powered-Plus-Activate-Inflammation/dp/0593418794https://www.instagram.com/theguthealthmd/https://theguthealthmd.com/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

In Episode 452 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Iain McGilchrist, a neuroscientist and author of The Master and His Emissary and The Matter with Things. His work on the divided brain has helped millions of people find wisdom, meaning, and guidance for living in the modern world. Iain and Demetri begin their conversation exploring McGilchrist's core thesis about the divided brain, how the left and right hemispheres attend to the world in fundamentally different ways, where we see evidence of an increased preponderance in left-brain thinking, and how this has impacted the way we conduct science, reason through problems, use our imagination, and apply wisdom to the world. Iain believes that our civilization is caught in what some have described as a metacrisis, exacerbated by the encroachment of the left hemisphere onto more and more areas of lived experience. We see it in the procedurally abysmal manner in which modern medicine goes about formulating diagnoses, the ever-increasing obsession with process over outcomes, the commodification of writing, the rise in depression, the policing of language, and the reverence for machine-like efficiency and profit maximization at the expense of almost everything else. The two discuss the importance of self-actualization in the context of community and why Iain is inspired by the change of heart he sees in younger generations who are no longer satisfied with furthering a broken paradigm and are willing to imagine something different—a different way forward that makes room for our humanity and which provides people with a relational sense of meaning and purpose.  Subscribe to our premium content—including our premium feed, episode transcripts, and Intelligence Reports—by visiting HiddenForces.io/subscribe.

Dana Micucci redefines danger for the modern lightworker not as external threat, but as the peril of spiritual bypassing and succumbing to fear or lower collective consciousness. Unlike 20th-century internal work, the 21st-century task is active internal mastery to hold and anchor high-frequency light amidst global chaos and intense energy shifts. This internal mastery is crucial for external impact. The Lesson in Mastery: From Seeking to Embodying Truth The memoir, a sequel to Sojourns of the Soul, marks a pivotal shift: the 'lesson in mastery' is moving from seeking truth externally (via sacred travel) to embodying that truth internally. This profound shift is the foundation for applying spiritual wisdom to complex modern life, validating the current memoir as an essential guide for the lightworker journey. Ma'at: Ancient Egyptian Wisdom for the Digital Age Micucci shares the powerful ancient Egyptian principle of Ma'at (truth, balance, and cosmic order), encountered at the sacred temples of Egypt. This ancient wisdom is surprisingly practical for navigating modern issues like misinformation and polarizing technology. Ma'at serves as a vital spiritual compass for filtering digital input by aligning words, thoughts, and actions with truth and balance. Essential Spiritual Tool: Conscious Breathwork For newcomers beginning their spiritual path, the single most essential spiritual tool is conscious, focused breathwork. This simple technique instantly interrupts the fearful, egoic mind, anchors the individual in the present, and connects them to their innate power and grace. The breath is highlighted as the most accessible bridge between mind, body, and spirit. Planetary Transformation: The Challenge and The Opportunity The current period of intense planetary transformation presents two key facets from a lightworker's view: Greatest Challenge: The temptation to disconnect or fall into despair amidst global crises. Greatest Opportunity: The unprecedented acceleration of soul evolution. The current evolutionary waves force humanity to confront shadows, offering a unique chance to rapidly ascend into higher consciousness and co-create the New Earth. Trusting the Higher Guiding Force Micucci shares how a personal test or transformation—a period of loss and uncertainty—revealed that apparent "breakdown" was the higher guiding force clearing old foundations. By embracing deep surrender, she recognized the timely appearance of support as confirmation that this force was conspiring on her behalf. The Final Action Step: Radical Self-Compassion The final, practical action step Micucci hopes readers take after finishing The Years of Living Dangerously is to practice radical self-forgiveness and self-compassion. Choosing to unconditionally love the self and silence the internal critic is deemed the most profound way to 'open their hearts to the evolutionary waves of change' and become a clear channel for light.

Is there something wrong with you… or is there something wrong with the way we live?In this episode, I speak to performance coach and psychophysiologist Paul Taylor about how modern life (from ultra-processed food and poor sleep to constant screens and chronic stress) creates the perfect storm for anxiety, depression, burnout and ADHD-like symptoms. We dig into why so much of “mental illness” sits on a spectrum, how lifestyle can mimic or magnify these conditions, and why over-pathologising normal emotions can sometimes make things worse.Paul also breaks down Hardiness, his idea of Resilience 2.0: a practical framework built on control, challenge, commitment and connection. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck or like you're not coping with the pace of life, this conversation will give you a new way to think about mental health with some simple, science-backed ways to start rebuilding your capacity in a world that isn't exactly designed for humans.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (01:06) Meet Dr. Paul Taylor(03:16) Understanding Hardiness vs. Resilience(08:26) The Impact of Modern Life on Mental Health(17:19) The Role of Lifestyle in Mental Health(29:42) The Consequences of Poor Sleep and Diet(36:28) Defining True Recovery(37:24) The Connection Between Mental & Physical Health(37:59) Socioeconomic Disparities in Health(42:04) The Impact of Gambling & Government Inaction(44:14) The Influence of Big Food(51:45) Understanding Hardiness & Stoicism(59:59) The Four C's of Resilience(01:03:44) Final Thoughts & Closing QuestionsAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Paul:Website: https://www.paultaylor.biz/ Hosted on Acast.

For thousands of years, Greek tragedies have helped people make sense of fear, grief, conflict, and the complexities of being human. Bryan Doerries—co-founder and Artistic Director of Theater of War Productions and a newly selected Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize winner—has spent nearly two decades bringing these timeless texts to contemporary audiences. In this episode, he reflects on how classical stories open space for empathy, dialogue, and healing in the 21st century. By stripping away the myth that our struggles are unique to our time, Doerries helps reveal what connects us across cultures and generations.

Every time you scroll, your brain learns one thing: distraction feels safer than stillness.In this episode, Dr. Trish Leigh explains the real dopamine hijack happening in modern life, the overstimulating, engineered world that keeps your nervous system running on urgency, novelty, and noise.As part of No Numb November, you will learn why ancient dopamine wiring struggles in a saturation-based world, how the scroll–spike–crash loop reshapes your reward circuits, why peace feels “boring” and stillness feels unsafe, what high-beta chaos looks like on a brain map, and how to move from quick dopamine highs into steady, grounded clarity. Dr. Leigh also shares her own story of burnout and the moment she realized the issue was not a lack of willpower but a pattern of miswiring shaped by modern overstimulation.Neuroscientist Explains the Dopamine Hijack: How Modern Life Miswires You

The step to take here is not to try to forget. The step here is not to try not to remember the event. To not remember what that person said or did to you. The step here is to simply forgive, again. You see forgiveness is more than just a singular event. A one-time thing we got through. Forgiveness is more of a posture. More of a perspective that we take on a particular event or towards a person. Where every time we remember the event. Every time it comes to mind and all the feelings around it come again. Every time we're faced again with this decision either to demand that that person pay for what they did, or we choose once again to forgive. And not just that time but every time. Until eventually yes, you get so used to having this posture of forgiveness towards that person or towards that situation. That the event no longer stirs up feelings of anger or animosity. You see forgiveness is not a onetime set it and forget it thing that we do. It is a posture that we live in every day.

So you're in the pool and you got a beach ball and it's full of air and you know, so obviously, in in our little example here, the air is our anger, right? So, you're trying to keep anger under the water. You all can kind of picture what that would feel like. And we spend so much time in life like trying to keep the beach ball under the water, trying to keep our anger from, you know, popping up and showing itself. And you do that, but anybody who's ever tried to keep a beach ball under the water knows that eventually it's impossible to do because eventually, you know, it pops up and there's your anger out there for all to see.   Unless, of course, you get rid of all kinds of anger, which in our little example would be to let the air out of the beach ball, right? Because you let the air out of the beach ball, well, it's not going to pop up anymore, right? Which is great. Now it stays under the water. The only thing is that all the pressure around you is still there. All the things that caused your anger to want to pop up, they're still there. And now that you don't have any anger in you, what are you supposed to do? Are you just supposed to live like a shriveled up beach ball?

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.” Ephesians 4:31  Today's verse is about pivoting away from whatever degree of anger is in us, whatever form it takes, whatever level it's at, toward a new Kingdom way of being, responding, reacting that is far more beautiful and good. Today is about the action that you and I can take to open a space for the Holy Spirit and to start transforming the anger within us.

We'll discuss: The differences between anxiety and worry, how modern life heightens stress, and how Christians can navigate anxiety without shame Practical steps for managing anxiety, including the importance of acknowledging stress, praying about worries, and turning to worship when anxious thoughts arise Our anchor verse for this conversation is Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

In this episode of Modern Body, Modern Life, I'm talking about something that held me back for years — and keeps so many women stuck: all-or-nothing thinking.If you've ever felt like you're either on or off, good or bad, perfect or failing when it comes to your eating, workouts, or health habits — this episode is for you. I share how I broke free from that exhausting cycle and how you can too.I'll walk you through why perfectionism and diet culture have trained us to believe that being “all in” is the only way to see results — and why that couldn't be further from the truth. You'll hear real examples from my own journey and from clients who've found peace and freedom by focusing on progress, not perfection.

The trillions of microbes that live in and on the human body—collectively known as the microbiome—appear to have profoundly important effects on our health. This raises a potential concern: some of our most significant public health interventions—vaccines, antibiotics, sanitation—are designed to kill or limit exposure to harmful germs. Have we gone too far in our war against microbial exposure? Let's take a closer look.

Life in the kingdom of God is not a life of just not saying unwholesome things, but of saying things that spread God's grace out into the world.

In this episode of Modern Body, Modern Life, I'm diving deep into what it really means to go from good to great — in your body, your business, and your life.Maybe things in your life are fine right now. You're comfortable, successful, even content. But deep down, you know there's more. You feel that nudge that says, “I'm ready for something greater.” The truth is, staying “good” often keeps us stuck. Growth and transformation require courage, discomfort, and a willingness to let go of what no longer fits — even when it's still working.I share my own story of transitioning from my successful handmade jewelry business into my dream career as a Body and Life Coach, and how that shift required me to release something good to create space for something truly great.If you've ever felt called to reinvent yourself — especially in midlife — this episode will inspire you to trust that pull, take bold action, and create the next version of yourself with confidence and intention.

Ultimately, work is not about how much money it brings into us. It is about how much of us we put into what we do. See, ultimately our work is not about earning our own living. Our work is not about us being able to achieve comfort and self-sufficiency for us and for our family. Our work is not a way to establish our status in society. Our work, us doing something useful with our own hands, according to this passage, is about having something to share with others. Paul writes, "Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work doing something useful with their own hands that they may have something to share with those in need.” - Ephesians 4:28

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Have you ever found yourself feeling drained, anxious, or unsure what's even yours anymore?  When there is a lot of energy around things can get a little muddy.This happens a lot when you are tuned to “listening outward” — when your intuitive radar is constantly scanning everyone else's energy instead of staying anchored in your own. For empaths and highly sensitive people, it can feel second nature to absorb moods, stress, or even physical sensations from others… until suddenly you've lost your center.  And you may not have any idea this is happening until you feel grumpy and like you have lost yourself a bit.In this episode, we're unpacking how empathy turns into enmeshment — and how to return to your grounded, radiant energy through listening inward. You'll learn how to recognize the signs that you've been listening outward (like emotional exhaustion, scattered focus, or fuzzy intuitive hits) and simple ways to tune back in. Christina shares grounding practices, affirmations, and gentle questions to help you reconnect with your inner guidance and hold compassionate space for others without losing yourself in the process.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings here>>>>>>Please rate, review, and subscribe to show your support, be informed of new episodes  and stay connected with the conversation

In this unfiltered episode of Rich Conversations, Rich sits down with Cousin Frank in the farm shed for a raw, late-night talk about life, purpose, and what it means to live well. The two dive into perfectionism—when it helps, when it holds us back—and how society's obsession with comfort and convenience has dulled our sense of purpose. They explore topics like smartphones, discipline, consumer culture, and the quiet wisdom of “old timers.” From reflections on family and legacy to the loneliness of modern life, this episode blends humor, honesty, and philosophy in equal measure. Recorded by lantern light, it's a reminder that the best conversations don't need polish—they just need presence.

Tara dives into a wide-ranging discussion on immigration and public safety, spotlighting a fatal semi-truck crash in Indiana involving an illegal immigrant with a suspended license. The conversation explores systemic gaps in enforcement, the risks posed by untrained drivers, and how policy decisions under previous administrations may have contributed. The discussion then pivots to historical survival, the role of wine and fermentation in preserving vitamin C, and how modern alcohol and drug use intersects with constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment. A mix of current events, historical context, and cultural reflection creates a thought-provoking and sometimes surprising episode.

When you think of anger, where is it in you? How does it show itself? And maybe the most important question of all, what is the story behind your anger? Do you know it? Does anyone who loves Jesus and is near you know it? 

We're facing a fertility crisis that few people are truly talking about. Sperm counts have dropped by more than 50% in the last 50 years, infertility now affects 1 in 5 couples, and modern stress, toxins, and lifestyle shifts are making it harder than ever to conceive. But there is hope — and it starts with awareness. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Ronit Menashe, co-founder of WeNatal, to explore the future of fertility and what every couple needs to know before trying to conceive. Ronit opens up about her personal journey of loss, discovery, and purpose that led her to create a company reshaping how we think about preconception health — for both women and men. Together we dive into the often-overlooked role of male fertility, the concept of “Trimester Zero” (the 100 days before conception that set the stage for pregnancy health), and why lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, toxins, and diet play such a powerful role in outcomes. We also touch on sensitive but necessary conversations around miscarriage, hormone health, birth control, and the emotional toll of the fertility journey. This episode is equal parts science, story, and soul — a guide to reclaiming hope, preparing your body, and reframing fertility as an opportunity for empowerment rather than fear. Whether you're just beginning to think about starting a family, navigating infertility, or simply curious about the hidden links between environment, lifestyle, and reproductive health, this conversation will leave you with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to move forward with clarity.

What if freedom isn't the absence of limits, but the presence of form?In this episode of The Scenic Route, Jen explores the paradox of constraints – why the boundaries we resist might be the very thing that saves us. Drawing on the work of sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and his idea of liquid modernity, she unpacks how modern life's obsession with flexibility and endless options has left so many of us overwhelmed, exhausted, and floating without structure.You'll hear:Why too much freedom can make us feel lost instead of liberatedWhat Bauman meant by “liquid modernity”, and how it shapes our daily anxietyHow chosen limits can create space for creativity, rest, and meaningWhy personal boundaries matter and why collective ones matter even moreThis isn't a call to hustle smarter or embrace toxic gratitude. It's a quiet rebellion against a system that asks you to be endlessly available and endlessly improving. Jen invites you to build a life – and a world – solid enough to hold you.Survival is individual. Transformation is shared.They drained the public pool and sold you swimming lessons. The goalposts keep moving; nothing ever feels complete.You don't need to fix yourself; you need structures that hold you.If you've been feeling like you're always treading water, this episode is your permission to stop swimming and start building your boat.

Why do we keep reaching for more—but never feel truly satisfied?In this episode of Sofia Unfiltered, Riley Rees is joined by physicist, screenwriter, and bestselling author Michael Long to unpack the brain science behind distraction, impulse, and the constant craving for “something more.” Based on his new book Taming the Molecule of More, Michael explains how dopamine drives anticipation—not happiness—and why modern life is overstimulating our brains in ways that leave us anxious, scattered, and emotionally drained.You'll learn:Why scrolling, swiping, shopping, and multitasking feel addictive.How dopamine fuels craving—but not contentment.Why “more” is never enough—and what your brain actually needs.A practical roadmap to calm your urges and build a life of meaning, not just reward.If you're tired of feeling stuck in cycles of distraction, this conversation will help you take back control—one choice at a time.The Sofia Unfiltered by Sofia Health is for general informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice.

"If you could watch one video and finally understand all of life… this is it. I break down money, love, happiness, and why we’re all anxious in the modern world. This is my attempt at the unified theory of human existence."What if you could understand all of life in one framework? In this video, Tai Lopez dives deep into what he calls the Grand Theory of Everything—the tension between three forces that shape human existence: Your ego (the self at the center of your experience) Your tribal instincts (family, survival, and primal drives) The global society (laws, morals, and systems much larger than the tribe) Tai explains how this clash between the “small world” and the “big world” explains modern struggles like anxiety, relationships, money, morality, and even politics. From ancient tribes to the industrial revolution to today’s hyper-connected cities, he reveals how our DNA still pulls us toward tribal living—even while society pushes us into global conformity. Learn why so many people feel confused, anxious, and unfulfilled in modern life, and how to manipulate your environment to regain balance, happiness, and success.
