A: This episode teaches cognitive defusion, a practice from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that loosens the grip self-critical thoughts have on you without fighting or suppressing them; two specific techniques that we added in this episode (the "thank you, brain" method and psychological distancing) give you practical tools to use in the moment.   Q: What's the difference between managing stress and actually changing my relationship with difficult thoughts? A: Stress management techniques are like inner tubes that are genuinely helpful for keeping your head above water. Cognitive defusion goes deeper, shifting you from reactive management to a more fundamental change in your relationship with the thought; this episode explains the distinction and why both have a place.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome back to the Element of Confidence — introducing cognitive defusion as this episode's core skill [01:00] Sometimes thoughts aren't peaceful branches on a stream — they're the Bunker Hills Wave Pool, circa late '80s [02:30] The lifeguard metaphor as an upgrade to the peaceful river observer — seasoned, present, with a broader view [03:00] The kinds of thoughts that come in like waves: "I'm never gonna get this. I'll embarrass myself. I always screw up. Everyone will think I'm an imposter." [03:30] When thoughts overwhelm: stress response surges, the only thought becomes "how do I get out of this?" [03:45] Reminder: if thoughts are feeling truly overwhelming, reaching out for extra support — therapist, NAMI helpline, 988 — is always an option [04:30] When we stop fusing with or fighting thoughts, they start to get smaller over time [05:30] How fusion works physically: heart rate rises, palms sweat, decisions made from the fused belief [06:00] The thought is not reality — it's neural activity generated by past experience, fear, or ingrained patterns [06:30] Cognitive defusion: loosening the grip, creating space between you and the thought [07:30] Defusion vs. positive thinking or cognitive restructuring: this doesn't fight the thought, it changes the relationship with it [08:30] Aimee introduces self-as-content vs. self-as-context from ACT [09:30] Stress management as inner tubes: helpful for riding waves, but you're still in the pool managing the waves [10:00] Self-as-context: the lifeguard — noticing "I've seen that wave before," seeing the bigger picture, able to take wiser action [10:30] From the lifeguard perspective: "The waves are uncomfortable, but they'll die down" — and you can give yourself true support [11:30] Henry: stress management is great and important — AND it keeps us in reactive mode; defusion is a different level [13:30] Henry on perfectionism and defusion: if you believe you need to be perfect to be confident, you'll become hypervigilant about thoughts [14:30] The truth: you don't have to be perfect; when you accept doubt and mistakes as normal, imperfect thoughts become no big deal [15:00] Aimee: strategies for defusion — not to dispute the thought, but to notice it and loosen its grip [17:00] Strategy 1 — Psychological distancing: "I'm noticing that I'm having the thought that..." instead of just "I'm going to blow it"   [19:00] Adding levity: say the phrase in the silliest voice you can — trailer narrator, romance novel narrator, sports commentator [20:00] Henry introduces Strategy 2 — "Thank you, brain" [20:30] How it works: immediately positions you as observer; paradoxically accepts rather than fights; carries humor that defuses in the moment [22:30] Aimee: this is not about forcing a feeling or suppressing thoughts — it's about letting them matter less [23:00] Connection to last Element (Humility) and right-sizing: letting thoughts take up the space they need, no more, no less [23:30] Preview of next episode: values — what we care about, so we can choose where to put our energy and take action toward confidence [23:45] Closing wisdom from Eckhart Tolle: "The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive... It is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don't use it at all. It uses you."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

 Pisarz i publicysta Bronisław Wildstein powtarza starą diagnozę, która jednak nie zadomowiła się w głowach Polaków: rządzi nami oligarchia postkomunistyczna. Jego zdaniem istotą tego systemu są rządy nielicznych tylko w swoim interesie. "Polacy muszą się wreszcie obudzić" - nawołuje gość Poranka Wnet.

One of the most essential coping skills for building real confidence is mindful acceptance. This is the practice of noticing that fear, self-doubt, and self-consciousness are present and... that's ok. Henry puts it simply: you're acknowledging there's a passenger on the bus. You're just not letting that passenger drive.  We'll also take some time to name and untangle the harsh inner critic. That's the voice that pretends to be accurate self-assessment but is usually something absorbed from a critical adult long ago and we've just pressed play on ever since. The three key questions Henry raised for distinguishing the harsh inner-critic from your true voice are: Does it attack? Does it use fear and shame? Is it absolute or extreme? If the answers is "Yes" to any of the above, then that's your inner-critic. Your authentic voice is gentler, clearer, and never tries to motivate through fear or shame. Simply acknowledging the difference can take the power away from the inner-critic.     About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: This episode introduces mindful acceptance, the skill of noticing uncomfortable feelings like fear, doubt, and embarrassment without fighting or avoiding them, so they don't hijack your actions. With this skill, the focus doesn't have to be about making the feelings go away, it's more about learning to move forward while they're present.   Q: How do I know if the critical voice in my head is giving me useful information or just tearing me down? A: Here are some important point to help you distinguish your harsh inner critic from your true voice: The inner critic attacks, uses fear and shame as motivation, and deals in absolutes. Your true voice is gentler, more nuanced, and never tries to hurt you.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome back to the Element of Confidence — recap of last episode's definition: confidence as trust and willingness to act [00:30] How we'll build confidence: Mostly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies and Dr. Russ Harris' framework [01:00] First step: mindful acceptance — noticing rather than judging, allowing rather than fighting [01:30] What we're accepting: the uncomfortable feelings that arise when we wish we felt confident — nervousness, embarrassment, fear [02:30] Henry: acceptance is not resignation and not agreement with the anxiety [03:00] What acceptance actually is: "I notice I'm feeling anxious. I'm going to take action anyway." [03:30] The bus metaphor: fear and self-doubt are passengers — they don't need to drive [04:00] Why this matters: confidence doesn't come from feeling good first; it comes from acting despite not feeling good [04:30] Aimee's fellowship interview story: knowing all the behavior change theory, then getting a question about Boston housing [05:00] Pterodactyls, not butterflies — the full physical panic experience [05:30] Thirty minutes of talking to suppress the feelings, which only made them worse — the fellowship did not come through [06:30] Henry shares his own story: giving a large talk despite genuine anxiety, using mindful acceptance in real time [07:30] What shifted during the talk: nervousness moved to the background, attention shifted to connection with the audience [08:00] Genuine confidence appeared — not because anxiety was gone, but because he was succeeding despite it [08:30] Mindful acceptance doesn't mean not feeling uncomfortable — it means seeing clearly and choosing your actions anyway [09:30] The performance bell curve: a little anxiety is actually good for performance; fighting it isn't the goal [10:30] Experiential avoidance: using effort to suppress uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and sensations to feel safer short-term [11:00] The Good Place medium place metaphor: warm beer and marching band music — feeling safe but not really living [11:30] How avoidance is protective in the short term but reinforces the idea that you can't handle the situation [12:30] Irony of avoidance: it boosts the scary power of what we're avoiding; the world gets smaller, anxiety increases [13:00] The brain is blunt — it can't fully distinguish fear of survival from fear of public speaking or starting a new career [13:30] We have to train a willingness: not enthusiasm for discomfort, but openness to experiencing it as part of skill-building [14:00] Henry: avoidance accumulates — the thing avoided gets bigger and scarier, and you sacrifice what you actually wanted [15:00] Social anxiety is up in recent years — fear of rejection is one of the most common mental health challenges [16:00] The brain doesn't distinguish social threats from survival threats — the amygdala alarm sounds equally loud [16:30] You can train your nervous system: every small forward step builds a new neural pathway and builds confidence [17:30] Naming the inner critic: the harsh, self-critical voice that rides along during experiential avoidance [18:00] Aimee's dual monologue during the fellowship interview — speaking outward and critiquing herself inward simultaneously [19:30] The inner critic may sometimes have useful information — and that's worth extracting [20:00] When the information is useful (you don't have the skill yet) versus when it's just harsh and paralyzing [20:30] The inner critic is usually a voice absorbed from a critical adult long ago — pressed play on ever since [21:30] Mindful acceptance: notice the voices, accept they're here, create space and retain energy rather than getting wrapped up [22:00] Henry: the key to working with the inner critic is simply realizing it's not you [22:30] Your authentic voice is gentler, clearer, and never tries to motivate through fear or shame [23:00] How to identify the inner critic: Does it attack? Does it use fear and shame? Is it absolute or extreme? [24:00] Your true voice is nuanced: "This is hard. I'm learning. I'm not there yet." [24:30] Once you recognize the inner critic, something shifts: "Ah, there's that voice again" — like a neighbor's dog barking [25:00] Extract any grain of truth, let the inflated story go, and move forward [26:00] Mindful acceptance: notice the voice, accept it's there, but don't accept what it says — and move forward anyway [26:30] Questions for identifying inner critic vs. true voice — in the show notes and in the Joy Lab Program Experiment [27:00] Preview of next episode: working more with the thoughts that rise up — what to do after you notice them [27:30] Three closing pieces of wisdom: Jon Kabat-Zinn on being awake, Carl Jung on the terror of full self-acceptance, Carl Rogers on the paradox that makes change possible    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube     Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Are you not feeling confident and curious how to increase confidence in yourself? If so, know that you are not alone, you are not suffering from imposter syndrome, and you are not in need of fixing. As we start our series on Confidence, we'll work to dismantle the most common — and most damaging — myth about confidence: that confidence is just a feeling and that you need to be confident before you act.  We'll focus on a confidence reframe: Confidence is a willingness to act and a trust in your own effort, not a feeling of certainty or how others perceive you. We'll lean on Dr. Russ Harris's foundational insight throughout our work: the actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later. The episode also does important myth-busting work around self-worth, self-esteem, and self-efficacy — three concepts we tend to mash together with confidence, often to our detriment. We'll make the case for unconditional self-acceptance over the self-esteem-building culture many of us grew up in, and approach confidence with a fresh and more empowering lens. This episode will set us up for some confidence-building work that is far more nourishing than the usual methods we've been taught.

A: Because confidence isn't just a feeling and it's not just about self-efficacy or your belief in your capabilities. This episode explains the neuroscience behind why waiting for the feeling often means waiting forever, and offers a more empowering definition to work with instead. Q: What's the difference between confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-worth? A: This episode untangles all four: self-worth is your sense of inherent value, self-esteem is a more fragile self-evaluation based on comparison and performance, and self-efficacy is your belief in your ability to do a specific task. Confidence (redefined here as trust and willingness to act) can draw on all three, but is its own concept and understanding the differences can be genuinely freeing.     Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the new Element of Confidence — and the central premise: you don't need to feel confident to practice it [02:00] The cost of waiting for a feeling that wasn't coming — staying small, timid, paralyzed [03:30] The neuroscience: the amygdala looks for certainty before giving the green light to act [05:00] The common (and limiting) definition of confidence: a feeling, tied to certainty and how others perceive us [05:30] How imposter syndrome suffers from the same definitional hijacking [06:00] The reframe: confidence from Latin "com" (with) + "fidere" (trust) — to trust with [06:30] A behavioral definition: trust in your effort and a willingness to act — not a feeling [07:00] Dr. Russ Harris, The Confidence Gap: "The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later." [08:00] The swimming example: you don't feel confident first — you flail, then build confidence through repeated action [10:30] Fear is not the enemy and not the opposite of confidence — you need your threat detection system [11:00] How a feelings-only model of confidence puts 100% of the blame on the individual [11:30] Systemic and community barriers to confidence: healthcare disparities, pay gaps, and their real impact [12:30] Why "just feel more confident" is where toxic positivity lives — and why it doesn't address real barriers [13:00] Holding personal and collective responsibility together — confidence as a practiced relationship with uncertainty [14:00] Henry: confidence as trust and willingness to act becomes relational — built with self, others, and systems [15:00] Real confidence: acting precisely when you feel fearful, doubtful, and uncertain [16:00] Untying confidence from self-worth, self-esteem, and self-efficacy [16:30] Self-worth: how positively or negatively you perceive your value — and Dr. Albert Ellis's argument that it isn't actually up for evaluation [17:00] Self-esteem: more granular, shaped by frequent self-comparisons and judgments — fragile when tied to external validation [18:00] Self-efficacy: belief in your ability to do well in a specific situation — changeable, actionable, and domain-specific [19:00] How comparison and self-judgment can erode self-worth when held too tightly [19:30] The case for unconditional self-acceptance over self-esteem — Ellis's argument revisited [21:30] Henry unpacks the distinctions: comparison-based self-esteem (fragile, quicksand) vs. self-efficacy (grounded, built through repeated success) vs. self-worth (solid foundation, not performance-dependent) [23:00] Real confidence as a combination: building self-efficacy through action, grounding in unconditional self-worth, practicing self-acceptance [23:30] How early conditional approval ("I love you when you get good grades") shapes where you start — but doesn't have to be where you stay [24:30] None of these are fixed traits — they are skills that can be developed through practice [25:30] Preview: building this Element with Dr. Russ Harris's frameworks and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a Joy Lab twist [25:45] Closing wisdom from Seneca: "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

What do you do when a loved one begins showing signs of mental illness? For many families, identifying the warning signs, finding accessible care, and overcoming deep-rooted cultural stigmas can feel like an overwhelming, uphill battle. In this episode of Caregiver SOS On Air, hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial sit down with Maria Honigman (Director of Programs) and Olga Rodriguez (Director of Education) from NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Greater San Antonio to discuss how families can navigate these complex emotional and practical challenges.

Cinquième épisode de notre série consacrée aux 20 ans de la Coupe du monde de la FIFA 2006. Après une qualification laborieuse, l'équipe de France se présente en huitième de finale face à une Espagne brillante, séduisante et considérée comme l'une des favorites du tournoi. Pour beaucoup, ce match doit marquer la fin d'une génération. Il deviendra finalement le point de départ d'une renaissance.À l'occasion de cet anniversaire, Les Libéros Redha, Nami, Rudolph, Gilchrist et Raphaël reviennent sur cette rencontre charnière qui va totalement changer le regard porté sur les Bleus. Critiquée après une phase de groupes décevante, jugée trop lente, trop âgée et trop dépendante de Zinédine Zidane, la France arrive à Hanovre avec bien plus de doutes que de certitudes. En face, l'Espagne incarne tout l'inverse. Trois victoires en trois matchs, un football offensif et une génération montante emmenée par David Villa, Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fàbregas ou encore Sergio Ramos. Pour beaucoup d'observateurs, le futur appartient déjà à la Roja.La rencontre semble d'abord confirmer cette tendance lorsque David Villa ouvre le score sur penalty. Les critiques ressurgissent immédiatement et l'on croit voir les derniers instants d'une génération arrivée au bout de son histoire. Mais la réaction française est immédiate. Franck Ribéry relance les siens avec un but plein de sang-froid, avant que Patrick Vieira ne renverse définitivement le match, dans un contexte également marqué par les déclarations polémiques du sélectionneur espagnol Luis Aragonés.Puis vient le moment que tout le monde retiendra. Dans les dernières minutes, Zinédine Zidane élimine Carles Puyol et trompe Iker Casillas pour inscrire un but devenu iconique. Quelques jours après avoir été annoncé sur le déclin par une partie de la presse espagnole, le capitaine français rappelle qu'il reste l'un des plus grands joueurs de son époque. Ce soir-là, ce n'est pas la France qui prend sa retraite : c'est l'Espagne qui quitte le tournoi.Au-delà de cette affiche devenue mythique, les Libéros reviennent également sur les autres huitièmes de finale de cette Coupe du monde. L'Italie s'en sort dans la douleur face à une valeureuse Australie grâce à un penalty dans les derniers instants, la Suisse et l'Ukraine livrent un affrontement fermé qui se décide lors d'une séance de tirs au but irrespirable, tandis que le Brésil assume son statut de favori en dominant le Ghana avec efficacité.Entre choc des générations, revanche médiatique et naissance d'une véritable épopée, cet épisode raconte le match qui a redonné vie aux Bleus et lancé l'un des plus grands parcours de l'histoire du football français. Une victoire fondatrice avant un quart de finale qui fait déjà rêver tous les supporters : France-Brésil.Podcast produit par Sports Content, proposé par l'OdioO ! Hébergé par Acast.

Humility is one of the most quietly powerful practices for positive psychology and mental health. It's also one of the most misunderstood. Here's the heart of it: humility is not a weakness. It's not about making yourself small or performing modesty for social approval. It's an accurate, grounded sense of self, what Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren calls "right-sizing." You own your strengths and weaknesses. And you hold your worth steady through all of it. We explored four types of humility this month: relational, intellectual, cultural, and existential. And we worked through three core ingredients to build humility up: Know Yourself. This is where self-compassion becomes essential. Self-knowledge without self-compassion tends to slide into rumination — that harsh, looping self-focus that keeps us stuck. Dr. Kristin Neff's research reminds us that genuine self-reflection requires feeling safe enough to look clearly, without bracing for an attack. When self-compassion is in place, honest self-awareness becomes possible. So does recognizing things like the better-than-average effect, which is our tendency to unconsciously and inaccurately position ourselves as a little more right, and others a little more wrong. Humility gently corrects that drift. Check Yourself. This is ego territory. When we feel threatened, the ego rises up. We deflect, deny, shut down, intellectualize. It's a very human, very normal response. But it doesn't have to run the show. One of the most practical tools from this series: when you feel defensive, pause. Breathe. Then ask yourself, "What would I think if I weren't feeling defensive?" That question can create some space for the ego to stand down and lets emotional regulation take over instead of reactivity. Go Beyond Yourself. This is where the magic of humility really shows itself as we build a genuine curiosity about other people and life's bigger questions. The self-forgetfulness that C.S. Lewis describes as essential to humility puts it all into action. When we're not so consumed by ourselves, the world opens up. And that's where connection, meaning, and joy actually show up in more noticeable, lasting ways. If you've worked through this series and feel less certain than when you started, that's not a problem. That's the practice of humility in action. Sitting with uncertainty, tolerating what's unresolved, resisting the cultural pressure toward easy answers and performed confidence is peak courage. It's often uncomfortable and it's always worth it. If this work has stirred something that feels bigger than you want to carry alone, please reach out to a therapist, a trusted friend, or a support community. Seeking support isn't weakness. It's an act of humility and one of the most courageous things you can do. And for Joy Lab Program members: your Episode Experiment includes a guided meditation and journal prompts to help you harvest and integrate the work you've done this month.  We close with Rilke (we know, we close with Rilke a lot!): "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves." Keep tending to your humility. It grows good things.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Wendell Berry's book Standing by Words   Common Questions: Q: How do I stop being so hard on myself without losing self-awareness? A: Self-compassion and self-knowledge are partners. As researcher Dr. Kristin Neff puts it, "You can look clearly at yourself when you're not afraid of what you'll find." Self-compassion creates the psychological safety for honest, accurate self-appraisal, replacing harsh rumination with compassionate self-reflection. Humility is the result: an accurate, grounded sense of self that's neither inflated nor deflated. Q: Why does being humble feel so uncomfortable and countercultural? A: Because in many ways, it is. We live in a world that often rewards certainty, self-promotion, and being right, even when those things don't actually nourish us. Building humility means opening up to uncertainty and the unknown, which takes real courage. The good news is that discomfort is also building something called uncertainty-tolerance, a form of emotional resilience that reaches across every area of your life in really nourishing ways.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome & orientation — Aimee frames the three-part humility arc (Know Yourself → Check Yourself → Go Beyond Yourself) [01:30] Henry's realization: humility, like every Joy Lab Element, is ultimately about learning to love well and connect more deeply [03:00] Why humility is the antidote to loneliness — the difference between being surrounded by people and being genuinely seen; how isolation is really a form of alienation [05:00] What it feels like to be with a truly humble person — and why humility makes us safer, more trustworthy, and more magnetic in relationships and communities [06:30] The traffic circle of defensiveness — Aimee on why the risk of being burned by someone is still better than a lifetime of self-protective looping [07:30] Epistemic humility explained — the idea that your understanding of reality is always partial, always filtered, always a vantage point.

Naša ekonomika takmer nerastie, no náš verejný dlh sa ďalej zvyšuje. Národná banka Slovenska prognózuje náš rast na tento rok len o pol percenta hrubého domáceho produktu, zatiaľ čo Česko a Poľskú rastú vyše dvojpercentným tempom. Ceny tovarov a služieb narastú o štyri percentá a náš deficit verejných financií by mal dosiahnuť úroveň 4 a pol percenta HDP. Zlepšenie by mohli v najbližších rokoch priniesť až ďalšie roky. Pomôcť má zahraničný dopyt a míňanie domácností.Čo to všetko pre nás, naše rodinné rozpočty a peňaženky znamená? Prečo premiér odkazuje, sa nám nežije až tak zle a že Nemci či Francúzi majú vyššie dlhy a že reálne platy nám mierne rastú? Aké konsolidačné či prorastové opatrenia by mala vláda prijať aby stav našej ekonomiky zlepšila a prečo doterajšie zvyšovanie poplatkov, daní a odvodov, ktoré musíme štátu platiť, nepomohli?Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s hlavným ekonómom Národnej banky Slovenska a bývalým ministrom financií Michalom Horváthom.

Humility and mental health are more connected than you might think. And if you add self-compassion to the humility-ego mix, then you have a recipe that can support mood, offer stress relief, and give your mind and body a break from constantly trying to defend yourself. We'll dig into all this with the "Check Yourself" step of the humility framework, unpacking ego threat, defensive thinking patterns, and the very human stress response that kicks in when we feel criticized, wrong, or uncertain. Spoiler: the ego is not the villain here. It's more like an overzealous bodyguard, and humility is how you can teach it to stand down.

Wendell Berry's book Standing by Words   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome and episode framing — checking ourselves means we accept that we don't know it all, recognize our own cultural lenses, and can sit with uncertainty without losing ourselves. [02:00] Henry on accepting uncertainty as a form of letting go of control — and why the self-knowledge work from last episode makes this possible. True inner strength means being secure enough to admit when you're wrong and hold your ground when you need to. [04:00] Enter: the ego. Aimee makes the case that the ego isn't the root of all evil. A healthy ego helps us maintain a coherent, positive sense of self. The problem isn't the ego itself; it's when the ego runs the whole show, making every decision from a place of fear. [06:30] Ego threat explained — when criticism, mistakes, or uncertainty shake our sense of self, a stress response activates. This triggers cognitive distortions: black-and-white thinking, confirmation-seeking, and rigid beliefs. It's common, it's wired in, and it doesn't have to take us down. [08:30] Henry's bodyguard metaphor: the ego is a zealous protector that sometimes overreacts wildly — treating a questioned idea like a life-or-death threat. Humility doesn't fire the bodyguard. It just teaches it to relax. [11:00] Signs the bodyguard has overstepped. Aimee walks through the obvious ones (counterattacking, deflecting, blame-shifting) and the subtler ones (shutting down, overexplaining, people-pleasing, doubling down on beliefs to avoid uncertainty). If you're nodding, you're in good company. [13:00] Henry adds the physical signs of ego threat to watch for: chest tightness, heat rising, clenched jaw, shallow breathing. Your body knows you're in ego threat before your mind does. Also: the urgency to respond immediately, spinning narratives to justify reactions, needing the last word. [15:00] The good news — and the real mental health payoff. Admitting mistakes makes us more liked and respected. Humility builds psychological safety in relationships, keeps small harms from becoming earthquakes, reduces thought distortions, and separates self-worth from performance. It's a genuine resilience-booster. [17:00] Henry's three-step in-the-moment practice: pause (especially when it feels most urgent), take one slow breath (gives your brain a chance to come back online), and ask "What would I think about this if I weren't feeling defensive?" Shift from threat response to curiosity response — and still hold your ground if you need to, just from a grounded place. [19:00] Aimee adds supportive touch as an emotional regulation tool — hands stacked gently on the body, a breath, a moment of self-compassion. Getting out of the traffic circle doesn't require a response or a win. Sometimes you just drive on your way. [20:30] Closing wisdom from Tara Brach: "The ego is not your enemy, it is your partner. Make peace with it."   Full transcript here   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Josh, Astrid, and Reid are covering One Piece's series-defining Arlong Park arc, starting with the Straw Hats' arrival on the island. We discuss Oda's sudden shift into political storytelling, a surprisingly touching depiction of poverty, the Grand Design that Oda's been setting up since the beginning, and what it means "to live" in an era marked by opportunism and exploitation.  /// A small note: If you like the series, spread the word and give our PayPal link a look.

Humility is a powerful (and mostly misunderstood) mental health skill that's grounded by self-knowledge and self-compassion. Humility is also a powerful antidote to rumination and harsh self-criticism and a tool to support mood and emotional resilience. We'll build up humility through this series by taking a positive psychology approach along with Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren's framework to build humility (know yourself, check yourself, go beyond yourself.) This episode is all about Step 1 (know yourself) and it turns out it's both the most uncomfortable and the most freeing place to start. About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Humility is not a weakness or a sign you're a pushover, instead it's a mental health tool that just might be exactly what our loneliness epidemic and anxiety culture are desperately craving. Humility is an accurate, grounded sense of who you are. And that grounded sense of self is a foundation for confidence, deeper connection, and holistic mental health. Here's what we'll explore this episode: There are four research-backed types of humility to focus on: Relational humility — how you hold yourself in relation to others; not above, not below Intellectual humility — holding beliefs with openness; curiosity over certainty Cultural humility — recognizing the limits of your own cultural lens and genuinely welcoming differences Existential humility — making peace with uncertainty, impermanence, and the big unanswerable questions of human life You might be doing great in one area and struggling in another (that's normal). These types aren't perfectly clean categories, but they offer areas for self-reflection and focus as you work to boost your humility and emotional wellbeing throughout the month.  With these areas in mind, we'll use researcher Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren's framework to build humility through three core ingredients: Know Yourself — honest self-awareness of strengths and limits, without self-preoccupation Check Yourself — reducing defensiveness and the need to protect your ego Go Beyond Yourself — cultivating empathy and humility as a deep relational practice These three ingredients aren't just a nice framework for self improvement, they're a pathway to reducing loneliness, increasing connection, and building the kind of holistic healing and joy that Joy Lab is all about. If you're in the Joy Lab Program, your first Experiment will help you locate yourself within these four types and start the work.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Episode 73: What if the most powerful thing you could do for someone going through a difficult season… is simply listen?In this heartfelt and compassionate episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa Reiniger sits down with Laramie Cooley for an honest conversation about grief, emotional wellness, family support, and the importance of connection during life's hardest moments.After experiencing a tragic family loss in 2024 and witnessing emotional struggles affect multiple generations of her family, Laramie shares how those experiences changed the way she views compassion, support, and community awareness. Together, Teresa and Laramie discuss the realities many families quietly carry — from not knowing what to say to someone grieving, to learning how meaningful it can be to simply be present and listen.This conversation explores the emotional weight of loss, the importance of support systems, and why access to mental health resources matters more than ever. Laramie also shares how she became involved with organizations like NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), helping raise awareness in her community and encouraging others to feel less alone.Guest Introduction:Laramie Cooley is a wife, mother, and advocate for mental health awareness whose life has been deeply impacted by family loss and emotional challenges within her family.

Spoiler: you were never meant to do this alone. In the final episode of Joy Lab's Resilience series, Dr. Aimee Prasek and Dr. Henry Emmons explore the most powerful — and most underrated — ingredient in lasting resilience: deep, meaningful connection. They unpack the neuroscience of belonging, the illusion of separation that quietly wrecks our wellbeing, and two surprisingly accessible practices: shared-joy and moral elevation. These practices can open us to greater connection right now, no personality overhaul required. The takeaway from this episode is that deep connection isn't a bonus feature of a resilient life. It's the foundation. And the good news? You're already wired for it.   Try It Free

How can we offer hope for mental health and addictions? Welcome to Flourish-Meant, where we explore stories of hope, healing, and authenticity. In today's episode, "Hope for Mental Health and Addictions," host Tina Yeager sits down with actor, director, producer, and neuroscience graduate Jessica Lee Wrabel—a woman whose journey through postpartum depression and neuroscience expertise have inspired her creative work. Through deeply personal projects like the documentary In the Shadow of Grace and the upcoming feature film Our Shadows, Jessica Lee Wrabel weaves together raw, real-life stories of struggle and overcoming, spotlighting experiences with mental illness and addiction. Together, we'll discover how art can bridge gaps, spark empathy, unlock the doors of faith, and offer tangible steps toward hope for everyone—both inside and outside the walls of the church. Join us for an authentic conversation that promises to leave you inspired and equipped to make a difference. Key takeaways from our conversation: There's Power in Sharing Your Story: Vulnerable, lived experiences can bring comfort and hope to others feeling alone in their struggles. Authenticity matters—healing is often a slow, messy, but beautiful journey. Community & Empathy are Critical: Sometimes the biggest support we can offer is simply to be present. We all have struggles and need each other's grace, inside and outside the church. Resources & Action Steps Exist: Whether it's local organizations, counseling centers, or national networks like NAMI, help is available—but reaching out can be the hardest step. If your community or church doesn't have a resource directory, be the one to start it. Grateful for the opportunity to encourage others and for everyone who has partnered with Wrabel on Shadow of Grace and her upcoming feature film Our Shadows.

In this episode, a pebble in the road on a NAMI resource for military folks. As I mentioned in the show, this day is the Memorial Day observance and the start of barbeque season. Well, for the rest of the country.  Around these parts the sun shines almost all of the time so anytime is a good time to fire up the grill. Unless you live in a fire prone area. Then it is bad, very bad.    It is also the time for making evaluations or decisions on how the next six month are going to go. Great opportunity to get your act together or let it fall the hell apart and rebuild.   Your choice.  Oh, one more thing. I need to juggle some work demands, vacation and other stuff. One of my ideas was to bank a few episodes on viable links of interest. I'm going to try to do that so I can keep my brain from turning into mush. So there might be a few more pebbles in the road as I try to balance the impossible concept of time enough.   I never have enough time.

We're in our Element of Resilience and we're going somewhere most mental health conversations completely skip: the heart.  Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek unpack why mental health has been so brain-centric for so long, what the field of neurocardiology is revealing about the heart's role in how we feel, think, and connect, and why ancient healing traditions were frankly ahead of the curve on all of this. Then they walk through three practical, research-backed heart-centered practices to support your mental health: self-acceptance, loving-kindness, and compassion. Henry also shares a simple, portable exercise called The Three Kindnesses that you can do anywhere, anytime. Whether you've been with us throughout this series or this is your first episode, this one is a great entry point into what Joy Lab is really about.   Try It Free

Officer wellness shows up in every call for service, every tough conversation, and every split-second decision. In this episode of the Cape CopCast, we're joined by Officer Shawn Frazin, a longtime patrol officer who's stepping into a major new role as our Peer Support Team Leader, to explain what real support looks like inside a police department and why trust is the foundation of everything.We talk through how peer support actually works day to day: a trained team, confidential conversations, and practical help when someone feels stuck and doesn't even know where to start. We also discuss critical incidents and why a simple follow-up weeks later can matter just as much as the initial debrief.Officer Frazin also shares how crisis intervention training (CIT) and NAMI resources change outcomes on mental health calls by giving officers tools to de-escalate, treat people with dignity, and connect them to services beyond a quick fix. Along the way, we touch on the department's evolving wellness culture, leadership support, and why asking for help should be seen as strength, not risk.

This is your final invitation! The Joy Lab Program's free 30-day offer ends May 31st — and we want to make sure you know what you're actually being invited into before the door closes. It's not a slick two-and-a-half-hour morning routine. It's not cold plunges or weird concoctions. It's deep, real inner work that often looks a little messy, requires genuine courage and self-compassion, and is worth every bit of the effort. And one of its quieter, underrated gifts: you are not doing it alone. Inside the Joy Lab Program, you're part of a community working on the same experiments, sitting with the same questions, and doing the same hard, worthwhile work together. That matters more than any choreographed wellness performance.   Try It Free

What the world needs now, is a little compassion. Corey Malone of Air Comfort Service is here to talk about a project near and dear to his heart, which helps with mental health issues. NAMI.

In this episode of the Joy Lab Podcast, Dr. Aimee Prasek and Dr. Henry Emmons dig into one of the most counterintuitive resilience skills we can build: turning toward negative emotions instead of running from them. This isn't about wallowing. It's about befriending the feelings that are already there so they can actually move through you, instead of getting lodged and piling up.  We're talking fear (the emotion at the core of so many others), the science of emotions vs. feelings, why your emotional immune system needs exposure to develop, and three grounded steps (embody, observe, yield) to help you navigate the next emotional flurry before it becomes a blizzard. This one pairs beautifully with our Grief Series (starting at Episode 248) and our last episode on the observer self. Whether you're new to this work or deep in it, there's something here for you.   Try It Free

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The National Alliance on Mental Illness takes this month as a chance to stand in community, recognize that no one struggles alone, and destigmatize mental illness and mental healthcare. To learn more about NAMI and the help that is available in Madison, host Bianca Martin spoke with NAMI Dane County executive director Jamie Mulry.

Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, gave away over 100 million pairs of shoes and built a $700 million company — yet the pain of "not enough" nearly cost him his life. Through his healing journey, he discovered the truth that saved him: he had always been enough.

What does it look like to parent a child with a mental illness — and keep your faith intact? Kelly Jackson has lived it. This conversation is for you. There are moms sitting in church pews right now who are exhausted, confused, and quietly wondering if they're the only ones. Their child is struggling — with moods, behaviors, diagnoses they didn't see coming — and no one is talking about it. This episode is for them and for those who know someone who has mental health concerns. Kelly Jackson is the Executive Director of NAMI Johnson County and a mom who has walked one of the harder roads in parenting: a husband who experienced a suicide attempt, a daughter who began hearing voices at eleven, and the long, winding journey of learning to love her family well in the middle of it all. She doesn't speak from theory. She speaks from Tuesday mornings and medication trials and moments of grace. Together, Misty and Kelly talk through ✦ what mental health conditions actually are (and why "one in five" is a number every mom needs to sit with), ✦ how to find the right therapist for your child, ✦ what guilt and grief look like from the inside, and ✦ why Kelly believes the church has more room to grow in this conversation. Kelly also shares the one daily rhythm that has kept her anchored through all of it — and it's simpler than you might think. This isn't a heavy, clinical episode. It's a conversation between two women who love Jesus and love moms, trying to make sure no one has to figure this out alone. Kelly's honesty will meet you wherever you are — whether you're navigating a fresh diagnosis, wondering if what you're seeing warrants concern, or just trying to understand someone you love.   NOTE: This podcast is for educational and encouragement purposes only and does not constitute professional counseling, therapy, or medical advice.

Calming the mind sounds simple, right? And yet most of us would rather do almost anything other than sitting quietly with our thoughts. In this episode, Dr. Aimee Prasek and Dr. Henry Emmons dig into the science of Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs), the surprising research on just how much we think, and the powerful practice of the observer self: the part of your mind that can step back, see what's happening, and choose differently. This episode makes the case that our relationship with our own minds might be the most important resilience work we do.   Try It Free

A sensitive content warning: this episode includes discussion of substance addiction, mental health struggles, suicide attempts, and recovery. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or at risk of harm, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

It supports people experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, mental health crises, and substance use concerns. To honor May being Mental Health Awareness month we invited Drew Motiv to share his story of transformation through addiction, mental health struggles, and surviving suicide attempts, in this episode. Now a motivational speaker and founder of the Divine Family Movement, Drew opens up about the darkest chapters of his life and how he found his way toward healing, self-belief, and purpose. We explore what it truly means to hit rock bottom, the isolation that can come with addiction and recovery, and the difficult work of rebuilding your identity after trauma. Drew reflects on the internal battles he faced, the moments that changed his path, and how he now uses his lived experience to help others feel less alone. Beth and Cathy also talk with Drew about the emotional complexity of recovery, learning to trust yourself again, coping with lingering anxiety and darkness, and turning personal pain into public advocacy. His story is both deeply personal and broadly resonant for anyone navigating mental health challenges, addiction, or the long road back to themselves. In this episode, we discuss: Drew Motiv's journey through addiction and mental health struggles What “rock bottom” looked like in his life Surviving suicide attempts and the emotional aftermath The role of isolation, honesty, and support in recovery Rebuilding trust in yourself after trauma How recovery is not linear Turning painful experiences into purpose-driven advocacy Founding the Divine Family Movement Redefining strength, especially for men facing stigma around vulnerability What Drew wants listeners who are struggling to hear right now If you or someone you know is struggling, please use the resources below.  Drew's Links: Follow Drew Motiv on Instagram @Drew_Motiv divinefamilymovement.com Resources:  Need support?

Given One Piece Season 2, Into the Grand Line, is fantastic and now available to stream in full on Netflix, we can't help but be greedy fans and look to the future — especially with One Piece Season 3 already in production. In celebration of the release of Season 2, Nami herself, Emily Rudd, returned to Collider Ladies Night to discuss her journey from the Fear Street trilogy to One Piece, to dig into Nami's biggest moments in One Piece Season 2, and to offer up a little tease of what's to come next season.Nami goes through a lot in Into the Grand Line. She gains confidence in herself as a navigator, powers through the effects of a wicked Kestia bite, and becomes more comfortable leaning on her fellow Straw Hats when necessary — but one particular plot point that heavily defines Nami's Season 2 arc is her connection with Charithra Chandran's Vivi. And now we know, according to Rudd, that'll be a driving force for her character in Season 3 as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
