Podcasts about Neuroscience

The question of free will - and whether we have it or not - is age-old across philosophy, religion, and human thought in general. Having free will allows us to have meaning, responsibility, reward and punishment. Yet discoveries in neuroscience have put our ability to choose, outside of a set of neuronal reactions, in question.Do we have free will? Or is it an illusion? And, also, do we need free will/Join our panel of neuroscientist Patrick Haggard, Templeton Prize winning physicist George Ellis, and philosopher of mind and action Jennifer Hornsby as they consider where choice begins and chance ends.But what do you think? Is free will "real"?

With all the shifts in buyer behavior lately, you might be wondering—does high ticket still work? Today on the podcast, I'm joined by high ticket sales coach Camie Wilke to unpack this exact question. Spoiler alert: yes, it still works—but only when it's done right. In this honest and high-energy conversation, Camie breaks down what sets high ticket apart from mid or low ticket offers, why it's not just about the price tag, and how to create a truly transformational offer that clients are excited (and ready) to invest in. We also talk about mindset blocks, faith-driven ambition, and why selling a $10K offer is actually an act of service when it's built with excellence and intention. If you're a coach thinking about raising your prices—or wondering how to sell your premium offer with more confidence—this episode is your permission slip to go bigger. Happy Listening!

Octopuses can open jars to get food, and chimpanzees can plan for the future. An IBM computer named Watson won on Jeopardy! and Alexa knows our favorite songs. But do animals and smart machines really have intelligence comparable to that of humans? In Bots and Beasts: What Makes Machines, Animals, and People Smart? (MIT Press, 2021), Paul Thagard looks at how computers (“bots”) and animals measure up to the minds of people, offering the first systematic comparison of intelligence across machines, animals, and humans. Thagard explains that human intelligence is more than IQ and encompasses such features as problem solving, decision making, and creativity. He uses a checklist of twenty characteristics of human intelligence to evaluate the smartest machines—including Watson, AlphaZero, virtual assistants, and self-driving cars—and the most intelligent animals—including octopuses, dogs, dolphins, bees, and chimpanzees. Neither a romantic enthusiast for nonhuman intelligence nor a skeptical killjoy, Thagard offers a clear assessment. He discusses hotly debated issues about animal intelligence concerning bacterial consciousness, fish pain, and dog jealousy. He evaluates the plausibility of achieving human-level artificial intelligence and considers ethical and policy issues. A full appreciation of human minds reveals that current bots and beasts fall far short of human capabilities.

Does porn disrupt loyalty in relationships? Yes — and science backs it up.I'm Dr. Trish Leigh,  a cognitive neuroscientist helping men break free from porn-induced brain dysregulation and intimacy struggles. As the author of Mind Over Explicit Matter, I combine science and empathy to guide people toward real connection. When I sat down with porn performers on Jubilee's Middle Ground, this prompt came up. One performer said she used porn to spice up her relationship — but the truth is, that just ties your intimacy to hypersexuality, not real connection.Studies show porn rewires your brain for objectification, not bonding. Men who watch porn are more likely to see women as objects, not partners. Underneath it all is brain dysregulation — a hijacked reward system that kills true trust and real intimacy.Jubilee & LoveCommaNectar opened the door for this conversation — so if you haven't seen the episode yet, check it out. Just a heads up: if you're in recovery, stick here with me. I'll break this all down with the science and help you rebuild real loyalty and healthy intimacy that lasts.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Loren is a UX Researcher with over 8 years of experience designing user-centered financial solutions. She's passionate about uncovering actionable insights that bridge user needs with business objectives, and specializes in transforming complex behaviors into strategies that elevate digital experiences. Loren currently works at JPMorgan Chase as a Lead UX Researcher for digital commerce solutions. Over her time at Chase she has worked across several organizations, getting to know a wide variety of customer-facing and employee-facing products and services giving her a unique insight into how the customer views Chase as a whole.Kathryn is a behavioral neuroscientist with experience in consumer research and methodological innovation. She earned her Bachelors in Neuroscience and Business from Muhlenberg College and her Masters in Behavioral and Decision Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. She currently works at JP Morgan Chase as a User Researcher, with a focus on methodological development, infusing behavioral science and design thinking into the customer experience.In our conversation, we discuss:* What end-to-end research actually means in practice and why it starts before users ever touch your product.* How to use habit loops to map and influence real customer behavior without forcing change.* The power of live account interviews for breaking out of prototype fantasyland.* Strategies for building alignment and shifting stakeholders from “I need” to “we're solving.”* How internal playbooks, role-play exercises, and empathy maps help teams stay grounded in real life.Some takeaways:* End-to-end research isn't just a longer study, but a wider lens. Loren and Kathryn define end-to-end research as everything from a customer's initial intent to what happens after they close the product. It's not just about usability or funnel drop-off, but about how their lives influence how they interact with your product. To get real insight, you have to look outside the interface and understand what's happening before, during, and after each interaction. That kind of zoomed-out context changes the questions you ask and the recommendations you make.* Customers don't live inside your product and they won't change their habits for you. Many organizations build with the assumption that users will adapt. They won't. Through live account research, Loren uncovered how users ignore offers, stick to their routines, and reject anything that adds complexity. Kathryn explains how habit loops (cue → routine → reward) help teams understand why users behave the way they do, and why your product needs to slot into existing routines, not disrupt them.* Usability labs are structured, focused, and quiet. Real life is not. That's why live account research can be so powerful; users bring their own data, context, and mess. Watching someone navigate a real account reveals things no A/B test or journey map ever could, especially when paired with tools like empathy maps that capture what people are saying, doing, thinking, and feeling.* To build cross-team alignment, make the customer the common ground. When products span multiple teams, priorities clash. Loren uses design rationale briefs and vision statements to realign teams around what the customer wants, not just what each team needs. Kathryn emphasizes the importance of shared language and moving from “I need” to “we're building.” Getting people into the same room, physically or virtually, and grounding them in the customer's perspective is what turns politics into partnership.* If you want teams to understand context, you have to simulate real life. Kathryn runs role-playing workshops where stakeholders juggle real-life distractions while interacting with a product. It's a reminder that customers are busy, stressed, and multitasking, and your product has to work under those conditions. Loren adds that this mindset shift helps counter the overconfidence teams can get from testing in perfect research environments. Their advice: don't just study what customers say, watch what they actually do in the wild.Where to find Loren:* LinkedInWhere to find Kathryn: * LinkedInStop piecing it together.

Dr. Caroline Leaf takes us on a journey through the science of the mind–brain connection. You'll learn powerful tools to manage moments of anxiety, overwhelm, and panic—based on neuroplasticity and her signature Neurocycle method. Highlights include: How to reframe your inner narrative with intentional breathing, validation, and cognitive shifts. The difference between mind vs. brain, and why your mind drives 99% of your experience. The importance of the five-step Neurocycle, practiced over 63 days, to rewire toxic thought patterns and build lasting resilience. Why “it's okay to not be okay,” and how healthy acknowledgment, not suppression, leads to transformation.

It's a mystery that has long puzzled researchers. Freud called the phenomenon infantile amnesia, and for many years scientists have wondered whether it's a result of failure to create memories or just a failure to retrieve them. In this episode from March 2025, Ian Sample speaks to Nick Turk-Browne, a professor of psychology at Yale University, whose research appears to point to an answer.

Recognizing a familiar voice is one of the brain's earliest social feats. But what are the brain circuits that let a newborn pick out mom in a crowded nursery? How do they change as kids turn toward friends and the wider world? And what are we learning about why this instinct fails to develop in the autistic brain?This week, host Nicholas Weiler joins Stanford neuroscientist Dan Abrams on the quest to understand the neural “hub” that links our brains' hearing centers to the networks that tag voices as rewarding, social, and worth our attention.

In this groundbreaking episode of The Mankind Podcast, Brandon Clift sits down with Charles Miller, CRNA, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Scenic City Neurotherapy, to explore the revolutionary science of brain healing and trauma recovery.Charles shares how trauma, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, creates real injuries in the brain's wiring and explains how his clinic uses innovative therapies like ketamine infusion and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to stimulate neuroplasticity and help reconnect the brain.From war veterans to high-performing men silently suffering, Charles breaks down why traditional therapy alone often is not enough, especially for men, and how modern neuroscience can accelerate true healing.If you have ever wondered why someone cannot just “move on,” or if you have felt like therapy is not quite working for you, this episode will change the way you think about mental health.You'll learn:Why trauma is a physical injury to the brain even if your head was never touchedThe science of dendritic spine regression and emotional reactivityWhy “suck it up” culture is damaging men over timeWhat ketamine therapy does that traditional talk therapy cannotHow to help someone who feels emotionally stuck without minimizing their experienceWhat real brain healing looks and feels likeWhether you are a man trying to make sense of your emotions or someone supporting a partner, friend, or client, this episode is your guide to a new understanding of brain-based healing.

Looking back, my life used to feel like a constant uphill battle—dealing with ADHD, relying on heavy meds just to function, and barely scraping by in school. I was skinny, anxious, disconnected from who I really was. But everything changed the summer I stumbled into a neuroscience program at the University of Miami. Learning about neuroplasticity and realizing I could literally rewire my brain was a turning point. That summer, I quit Adderall cold turkey, hit the gym for the first time, and started building real momentum through lifestyle change. It was raw, it was hard—but it was mine.Fast forward, and that same spark led me to discover a passion for physiology, nutrition, and performance that has shaped everything since. I found mentors, built companies, coached high performers, and leaned into my purpose of helping others optimize their lives from the inside out. I started my podcast, not just to teach, but to learn—and to face one of my biggest fears: public speaking. And man, the growth that came from that? It's been life-changing. I built my life around my values—freedom, authenticity, service—and I've helped hundreds of others do the same.Now, sitting here in my dream home in Miami Beach, I can honestly say: I made it. And I say that with deep gratitude, not arrogance. Not because I have it all figured out, but because I stayed true—said no when I needed to, worked my ass off, and built a life around what really matters. I want this episode to be proof that with discipline, faith, and alignment, it's possible to rewrite your story. And if I can inspire even one person to believe in their own transformation, then this whole journey has been worth it.

Do sales make your palms sweat and your heart race? Good. You're not alone. In this episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show, I'm joined by Paul Kuthe to talk about how fear isn't the enemy; it's actually our greatest teacher.We dig into why sales feel uncomfortable, how fear shows up in business, and why playing the wrong role in your client's story might be the real reason it feels so hard.We also talk about how to reframe fear, step into the role of the guide, and use mindset and storytelling to show up more powerfully in the moments that matter. If you've ever wanted to feel less awkward in sales, more confident in leadership, and better equipped to take action even when you're scared—this one's for you.Whether you're an online business owner or entrepreneur looking to scale, this episode will help you rethink fear and sell with more authenticity and impact.Guest IntroductionPaul Kuthe is a National Geographic Explorer, a bestselling author, and the founder of Tributary Coaching.He combines extreme sports coaching with high-performance psychology to help entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders confront fear and take bold action.From kayaking off waterfalls to coaching CEOs through high-stakes decisions, Paul brings a perspective that's grounded in courage, clarity, and storytelling.He's worked with everyone from therapists to founders to celebrities, helping them stop white-knuckling it through life and business and start leading with purpose.Reframe Fear & Start Selling With Ease - Key TakeawaysFear isn't something to eliminate—it's something to reframeThe same physical symptoms of fear also show up when we're excited—your body doesn't always know the differenceIf you feel stuck in sales, it might be because you're playing the wrong role in the storyWhen you shift from “hero” to “guide,” selling becomes serviceYour brain is wired to overreact to perceived risk—learning to override that is a skill you can practiceActing in the face of fear is a muscle—and it gets easier every time you use itWhat We CoveredReframing FearPaul shared how his relationship with fear started as a whitewater kayaker. Running rapids and waterfalls naturally comes with risk, but he learned early on that fear could actually be a performance tool. Instead of trying to suppress it, he learned to work with it—to stay sharp, present, and focused.That same principle applies in business. Fear is just a signal, and how we interpret it determines what happens next.Sales and the Role You're PlayingOne of my favorite parts of this conversation was when Paul broke down how fear shows up in sales—and how often, it comes from playing the wrong role in the story.When we put ourselves in the “hero” position, we unintentionally push our customers into roles like the victim or villain. That creates tension and discomfort. But when we shift into the role of the guide, the pressure drops. It's not about convincing or closing—it's about helping someone else win.That shift alone can change everything about how we show up in the sales process.The Neuroscience of FearFear lives in the limbic system, the part of our brain responsible for emotion and instinct. It's fast, it's reactive, and it's built to keep us alive. But our logical thinking—the part that can assess risk, make plans, and stay calm—lives in the neocortex.Here's the kicker: our fear brain is louder and faster. That's why even when we know logically that something is safe, we still feel terrified.The trick is learning how to pause, recognize which part of the brain is running the show, and then choose to act from the higher part—even if the fear doesn't fully go away.Action in the Face of FearLet's get real: you're not always going to feel ready. You're not always...

Live from the 2025 Nonference, Mike and Tim (In the same room) are joined in studio by Journey Church Pastors Suzie P. Lind and Sam Barnhart. What does it mean to truly deconstruct faith, and how can that journey lead to healing? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, the hosts tackle the complexities of "deconstruction," exploring disillusionment, doubt, discipleship, and ultimately, the pursuit of Jesus amidst cultural challenges. From addressing church hurt and systemic issues to reexamining theologies and navigating the intersection of faith and politics, this episode unpacks the role of the church in society and the personal journeys that shape our understanding of Christianity. Through themes of justice, cruciformity, and reimagining what it means to follow Jesus, the discussion dives deep into how cultural realities and historical practices influence our faith. The panel shares stories of heartbreak and hope, challenging the idea that questioning or rethinking faith is a departure from Jesus—instead, it's often a move toward deeper authenticity. Whether you're wrestling with theological questions, processing church trauma, or striving to navigate cultural issues as a follower of Jesus, this episode offers a space for reflection and community. Feel free to share your thoughts, send in your questions, or engage with us on Facebook and Instagram. Let's continue pursuing a faith marked by humility, curiosity, and justice together.

He is interested in the development of connectivity in the brain, specifically in how this process is controlled by genes and how mutations in such genes affect the connectivity of neuronal circuits, influence behavior and perception and contribute to disease. His latest book is Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will. In this episode, we start by talking about free will. We discuss free will at the molecular level and the different levels of analysis. We discuss top-down causation and process philosophy. We talk about decision-making, why certain possibilities spring to mind and not others, and why it can pay off to behave randomly sometimes. We also discuss whether AI could have free will. We then talk about Dr. Mitchell's debates with Dr. Robert Sapolsky, and how we should reframe the free will debate within science. We discuss the genomic code, and how the genome instantiates a generative model of the organism. Finally, we talk about the science and ethics of human embryo editing, and the trouble with eugenics.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

On today's show, I discuss what happens when sadism shifts from a chosen erotic expression to the only way a top feels seen, safe, or connected. We'll explore how dominance can begin with presence and intention, but over time, turn into emotional regulation or even identity. This episode isn't about shame, it's about reflection. I'll walk through the psychological dynamics that can make control feel necessary, the signs that dominance may be replacing vulnerability, and how to return to sadism as agency, not survival.Reference ListBaumeister, R.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has been everywhere the past few days from his signature podcast, to a brush with controversy on social media, to a notable mention in top health journalism. On August 1, an Instagram reel exploded in engagement after Huberman himself recorded what he described as people lighting fires in downtown Los Angeles, offering his platform to draw attention to public safety concerns. That video was promptly shared by multiple accounts, sparking conversation around civic engagement and the responsibilities of influencers. At nearly the same time, the Instagram business community was abuzz with Huberman's latest neuroscience tidbit he revealed that the classic introvert versus extrovert debate is rooted in differing dopamine receptor patterns, not personality labels per se, leading to fresh debate about work culture and leadership strategies.Huberman's flagship Huberman Lab podcast continues at full throttle. The July 28 episode delved into practical essentials of his research, distilling key takeaways on behavior change and mental health a formula that has kept his listenership in the millions. The series' recent guests included preeminent thinkers from Michael Easter to Dr. Marc Berman, whose discussion about nature's effects on cognition generated both scholarly citations and viral snackable clips. His media exposure also surged, with KFF Health News on August 1 specifically quoting him in discussions about the sweeping staff cuts impacting community health care programs—a rare crossover of a neuroscience educator being pulled into systems-level health policy discourse. Some outlets like KFF went further, naming Huberman as a leading podcaster who brings “real-world” relevance to high-level debates, extending his influence beyond standard academic circles.In terms of public appearances, he is slated as a keynote for several major entrepreneurship events throughout September and October, including the EO Powerhouse gathering in Chicago and EO Nerve in Atlanta, where his blend of cerebral science and business-savvy rhetoric has generated early buzz among founders and VC circles. While he has not confirmed any new business ventures or product launches in the days since August began, speculation persists about an impending collaboration with a large fitness technology brand—chatter unconfirmed by Huberman's team but amplified by fitness insiders.Finally, YouTube and podcast platforms report strong engagement with Huberman's segment on how sprinting can boost both strength and longevity, an episode widely shared by athletes and biohackers alike in the last 72 hours. Through a confluence of science, storytelling, and an uncanny ability to spark conversation, Andrew Huberman continues to shape the neuroscience landscape—and, increasingly, drive mainstream discourse on health and human potential.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

I wasn't addicted to porn — but I am here because someone I love was. And that changed everything.Is Masturbation Harmless or Harmful?I'm Dr. Trish Leigh, cognitive neuroscientist and author of Mind Over Explicit Matter. On Jubilee's Middle Ground, I sat down with porn performers and NoFap voices to bring a different perspective: not personal addiction, but years of deep neuroscience, brain maps, and real recovery work.Most porn users don't even know they're addicted—they just feel anxious, unfocused, disconnected, and stuck in a loop. I've seen thousands of brains that prove how porn hijacks your dopamine, rewires your reward system, and blocks real intimacy. This ties into the larger question of: Is Masturbation Harmless or Harmful?Huge appreciation to Jubilee & LoveCommaNectar for hosting this raw, important discussion. If you haven't watched it yet, you should — but trigger warning: if you're recovering, stay here with me instead.

Durant l'été, je vous propose une sélection des meilleurs épisodes de Vlan sur la dernière saison. L'occasion de découvrir ou redécouvrir des épisodes qui ont énormément plu. Albert Moukheiber, psychologue et neuroscientifique, revient sur le podcast pour parler de son dernier livre, Neuromania. Il est déjà venu sur Vlan 2 fois et ceci est le 3eme épisode que nous faisons ensemble - il est séparé en 2 parties par ailleurs.Dans cet épisode, nous plongeons dans un débat essentiel sur l'impact de la vulgarisation des neurosciences et les mythes qui en découlent. Pourquoi tant de personnes se laissent-elles séduire par des formations ou des concepts qui ajoutent le préfixe « neuro » pour paraître plus crédibles, comme la neuroproductivité ou le neuroleadership ? Albert nous explique comment ces simplifications, souvent fausses, influencent non seulement notre compréhension mais aussi notre comportement et nos choix de vie.Nous abordons des exemples concrets et marquants, tels que l'effet de nos attentes sur la douleur, illustré par l'incroyable histoire de deux ouvriers et leurs expériences opposées avec des clous. Albert démontre que la douleur est une expérience à la fois sensorielle et émotionnelle, et que nos croyances façonnent notre perception de la réalité. Nous discutons également de la notion de cognition incarnée, où le cerveau ne peut être dissocié du corps ni du contexte dans lequel il évolue, remettant en question l'approche réductionniste souvent adoptée.En tant que fervent défenseur de la démocratisation des sciences, Albert souligne l'importance de rester vigilant face à l'instrumentalisation des neurosciences à des fins commerciales ou idéologiques. Il nous invite à adopter une approche plus nuancée, à comprendre que, si notre cerveau est central, il n'est pas l'unique moteur de nos actions et émotions. Cet épisode riche en réflexions offre des clés pour naviguer entre fascination pour le cerveau et esprit critique face aux simplifications trompeuses.Que vous soyez curieux des sciences cognitives, sceptiques face aux discours populaires, ou simplement en quête de vérités plus profondes, cet échange vous fournira un éclairage précieux sur les complexités du cerveau et de la condition humaine.Les questions que l'on traite : Pourquoi sortir Neuromania maintenant, et quel est le concept de ce livre ?Comment les fausses explications neuroscientifiques influencent-elles notre comportement ?Peux-tu expliquer la notion de "neuromania" et son impact sur notre société ?Pourquoi certaines formations populaires utilisent-elles le préfixe "neuro" de manière abusive ?Comment les attentes modulent-elles notre perception de la douleur ?Qu'est-ce que la "cognition incarnée" et pourquoi est-elle importante ?Pourquoi l'idée du cerveau gauche/droit est-elle erronée ?Quelles sont les conséquences de simplifier la compréhension des neurosciences ?Quelle est la différence entre la connaissance utile et celle qui est utilisée de manière performative ?Comment les neurosciences peuvent-elles être à la fois démocratisées et protégées contre les simplifications ?Timelaps :00:29 – 01:35 : Introduction et discussions légères.02:03 – 02:30 : Albert parle de son livre Neuromania et de la « neuromania ».03:22 – 05:30 : Les effets des fausses croyances neuroscientifiques.06:44 – 08:55 : La surconsommation et la notion de responsabilité sociale.10:57 – 12:56 : La responsabilité de l'individu versus la société.15:09 – 17:26 : Pourquoi se méfier des formations pseudo-scientifiques.21:59 – 23:23 : L'importance de comprendre que le cerveau n'explique pas tout.33:40 – 36:41 : Développement de la neuroplasticité, mythe ou réalité ?39:10 – 41:09 : Le lien cerveau-corps et la cognition incarnée.47:36 – 48:59 : L'influence de la subjectivité dans la perception de la douleur.

Neuroscientist and psychologist Dr. Kristen Lindquist joins me for a fascinating conversation about how children develop emotional regulation — and how we as parents can support that growth not just through what we say, but how and when we say it.   Together we explore: Why the ability to feel and name emotions is something children build slowly over time — and what role parents play in that process. What neuroscience reveals about how the brain develops emotional literacy from infancy through adolescence (and even into adulthood!) How emotion regulation is like a “software update” that builds on the brain's existing “hardware.” Why the timing of emotional teaching matters — and how to use the “before” and “after” moments (not the meltdowns themselves!) for the most impact. How tools like play, books, and nonverbal attunement can build emotional awareness without overwhelming sensitive or avoidant kids. The role of interoception — our sense of internal bodily cues — in helping kids (and adults) understand and manage what they feel.   If you've ever tried to label your child's feelings mid-tantrum and been met with more screaming, or felt unsure how to help your child build real coping tools, this episode will help you take a science-backed, developmentally informed approach that fosters connection and long-term resilience.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

In this science-backed and practical episode, I interview John Edwards—executive coach, speaker, and founder of The Edwards Groups. With a background in neuroscience and years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies, John shares powerful insights on how to navigate stress, lead with presence, and thrive through change. John's approach blends neuroscience with leadership strategy to help high performers build resilience, expand their influence, and lead confidently in complex environments. In this conversation, he breaks down why our brains are wired for stress, how to rewire for strength, and what it means to be a standout leader in today's rapidly evolving workplace. You'll learn: Why your brain's default setting is stress—and what you can do to override it The neuroscience behind executive presence and how to grow your influence authentically How to boost cognitive capacity and resilience through better daily habits What a “chaos point” is—and how to lead your team through uncertainty Practical strategies for navigating change, conflict, and ambiguity with clarity and calm John also shares a roadmap for change leadership and how you can put executive presence on “autopilot” by rewiring habits and emotional patterns. This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to lead with more resilience, clarity, and confidence—especially in high-pressure environments.
