Life doesn't always go as planned — but that doesn't mean the game is broken. In this episode, we dive into why the odds of the game sometimes change unexpectedly and why that's actually part of the game itself.We explore how our brains crave control and the illusion of control that leads us to resist change — whether it's a card dealt differently than expected or a life event that throws us off balance. Drawing on improv comedy with Wayne Brady, the timeless wisdom of Buddha's Two Arrows, and groundbreaking neuroscience research, you'll learn how acceptance and presence can help you stay calm, clear, and creative when life throws you a curveball.If you've ever felt like life “messed up” your plans, this episode is a reminder: The new card is simply the new odds. Your power comes from how you play it.Tune in to discover how to stop fighting what is, embrace the unexpected, and keep playing your best game—no matter what cards life deals you.Jump on my email list hereHere's the link to the hair thickening sprayConnect with Mesha Find Mesha on Instagram Check out Mesha's website Click here for a free mini meditation course with Mesha Click here for The Heart Sync Course with Mesha (where you learn heart coherence) Click here for a free heart meditation with Mesha Click here to learn about the power of your heart And you can always email Mesha at hello@myfriendmesha.com

From Olympic training to injury prevention, Luxembourg hosts the world's brightest minds to prove why maths might just be sport's secret superpower. After a round-up of mid-week news with Sasha Kehoe, my guests this week are: - Prof. Christophe Ley – Main organiser of MathSport International; leads the Modelling, Interdisciplinary Research, Data Science, Applied Mathematics and Statistics group at the University of Luxembourg.  - Prof. Romain Seil – World-renowned orthopaedic knee surgeon, IOC advisor, Director of the Neurosciences and Musculoskeletal Diseases Division at Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg; co-founder of the European Society of Sports Traumatology, knee Surgery and Arthroscopy - ESSKA's Pediatric ACL registry and previous President of ESSKA, amongst many other organisations. - Prof. Thorben Hülsdünker – Professor in Performance Neuroscience and Sport Neurophysiology, Head of the Neurophysiology and Motor Control Research Area at LUNEX. - Alwin de Prins – Former Olympian and Managing Director at the Luxembourg Institute for High Performance in Sports (LIHPS) - Katarzyna Szczerba – PhD student with Prof. Ley, using machine learning with medical data to best use this data for injury prevention, and much more.  This week on The Lisa Burke Show, we dive deep into a blend of brain and brawn as Luxembourg hosts the 11th International MathSport Conference. While it may sound niche, what's unfolding here could revolutionise how athletes train, recover—and even avoid career-ending injuries. And not just athletes as many injuries are caused by people unprepared for activities they undertake once a year, such as skiing. Held from June 4–6 in the Coque and LUNEX University, the conference unites elite athletes, data scientists, surgeons and policymakers to explore how mathematics, data science and AI are transforming global sport. A Surgeon's Warning Professor Romain Seil, Luxembourg's globally celebrated knee specialist, put it bluntly: "If I could ban two sports for injury prevention, it would be football and alpine skiing." His data from years in the operating room is compelling. ACL injuries are devastating, often leading to early joint replacements. Professor Seil hopes we can increasingly pool real data to reform training, and embed prevention strategies from grass-roots to Olympic levels. “Coaches often don't realise the long-term damage until multiple players are injured. Data is how we change that.” Brains Behind the Brawn Professor Thorben Hülsdünker of LUNEX added another dimension with a focus on the connection of our body with our brain. He studies the neurophysiology of elite performance, from how athletes see and react, and how training can rewire the brain. “The brain is the next frontier of sports training,” he said. “Understanding it will define the next generation of champions.” Prof Hülsdünker knows that the best training targets both muscles and minds, combining sport science with neuroscience. AI Gets Personal PhD student AI-enhanced Cox Model blends machine learning with statistical models to predict runner injuries, and other medical issues, before they happen. “We're building tools that doctors and coaches can understand: simple, interpretable, but powerful enough to prevent injury.” Her AI-enhanced Cox Model is one of the standout presentations at MathSport 2025. From Pool to Policy Alwin de Prins, a three-time Olympic swimmer and now Director of LIHPS, reflects on what's changed since his competitive days: “I never had this level of support as an athlete. Now, our goal is to optimise not just performance, but well-being and life after sport.” His mission includes dual career planning, athlete health, and placing Luxembourg firmly on the map as a sporting—and scientific—nation. Why Luxembourg? Why Now? Professor Christophe Ley, the heart of this year's conference, pulled it all together: “Sport is full of data. We want to extract meaning from it—not just for medals, but for health, safety, and strategy.” With keynote talks ranging from sports analytics to injury prevention and economics, MathSport 2025 puts Luxembourg at the centre of a growing global movement: data-driven sport. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alwindeprins/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophe-ley-b71607166/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/romain-seil-9952172a/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorbenhuelsduenker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzyna-szczerba-4402b9192/ Get in touch  Tune in to The Lisa Burke Show on Today Radio Saturdays at 11am, Sundays at noon, and Tuesdays at 11am.

When someone we know or love starts to develop psychological issues, we don't often associate it with a form of dementia. However, this trait is one of the most common signs of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — the most common neurodegenerative disease in people under the age of 65. In his new book, Mysteries of the Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior Through Science, Dr. Bruce Miller highlights his experiences observing people with FTD and what they have taught him about what he calls the "social brain."Dr. Bruce Miller has been observing people with FTD for decades in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of San Francisco, where he is also Professor of Neurology and the Founding Director of the Global Brain Health Institute. He shares key insights on how to keep our "social brain" healthy and how it can even unlock our creative potential.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into something we all might bump-up against: those little "death wish" moments in our lives where we're not taking the best care of ourselves. It all started with a crazy motorcycle ride I witnessed on 93 North, where this kid was weaving in and out of traffic at 120 miles an hour - totally reckless and dangerous! That got me thinking about how we all have our own versions of the ol' "death wish.” Maybe it's ignoring medical advice, continuing unhealthy habits, or not prioritizing our physical and mental well-being. I'm talking about those choices we make that deep down we know aren't serving us.Things like not managing chronic conditions, skipping out on exercise, eating like crap, not getting enough rest, or creating unnecessary financial stress. The real heartbeat of this episode is about having self-awareness and then breaking those patterns.We know that our brains love familiar territory, which is why changing habits can feel so tough. But here's the deal: we have more control than we think!By understanding how our neural pathways work and making small, consistent changes, over time - we can actually rewire our brain and create healthier habits. Pretty cool, right?So, this is an invitation to hit pause and to take a look at the different buckets in your life. Where are you playing it kinda' loose? What small choices are you making now that might make a big impact on your long-term health and happiness down the road? What buckets/areas could use a little bit more of your positive attention?This isn't about judgment - it's about being curious and loving yourself enough to make better choices. Remember, every tiny step counts, and you are totally worth the effort! xoKK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Our daily choices can slowly impact our long-term health.• Reckless behavior isn't always dramatic, but even subtle stuff can be dangerous.• The brain naturally prefers familiar patterns.• Small, consistent actions can create new neural pathways in the brain over time.• Self-awareness is the first step to making those meaningful changes.• Resistance is a normal part of the human experience.• Our health involves different buckets - mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.• Your personal development work affects more than just you.• Compassionate self-reflection is more powerful than harsh self-criticism.• Prioritizing self-care is an act of love.• The Nest - Group Mentoring ProgramBIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

Faith and Neuroscience: A Holistic Approach to Living with Intention Faith and neuroscience together form a robust framework for navigating life's challenges with clarity and purpose. In a world obsessed with speed and constant motion, we often race through life without noticing what's really happening inside ourselves. But lasting growth doesn't come through hustle—it begins when we slow down, become aware, and invite God into the process. Through honest reflection and emotional awareness, we create space for real, Kingdom-aligned transformation. Where Faith and Neuroscience Meet Faith and neuroscience don't compete—they complement each other. Neuroscience reveals how the brain functions, while faith offers a spiritual framework for renewal. Science reveals the process; Scripture defines the purpose. Together, they remind us that God designed us with intention, both biologically and spiritually. When we understand our thought patterns, emotions, and habits, we can align them more closely with God's truth. As Scripture says, “You are known by your fruit.” This level of awareness helps us evaluate not just our actions but the outcomes they produce—peace or burnout, connection or isolation, growth or stagnation. The Power of Pause: Slowing Down to See Clearly Speed often blocks transformation. We rush from one task to the next and drift off course without even realizing it. When we don't slow down, we miss the opportunity to check in with ourselves and with God. But pausing isn't a weakness—it's wisdom. Stillness creates the space for clarity, and clarity opens the door to lasting change. The “S” in the STEM model (which explores the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) stands for “Seen”—what others and we ourselves can observe. But what's visible only scratches the surface. True growth requires digging deeper—examining our motivations, fears, and deeply held beliefs. Awareness is the First Step to Change Healing starts with honesty. We can't change what we refuse to acknowledge. That's why honesty is kindness—even when it feels uncomfortable. Naming what's real—your stress, frustration, sadness, or confusion—opens the door to healing and wholeness. About Heather Shriver Burns Heather is a former classroom teacher, turned corporate executive, and now entrepreneur. After building multiple 6-, 7-, and 8-figure businesses, she realized something was missing—she was successful by the world's standards, but she was stressed out. She knew God didn't give her an assignment to stress her out. So she redefined success with God and has been building her business with peace and purpose. Now, she helps ambitious Christian women stop striving for success and start seeking God's guidance to co-labor with Him in every area of life.

In this episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast, Dr. Ronald Hoffman hosts Dr. James Kimmel, a lecturer in psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, to discuss the psychology and science behind revenge. Dr. Kimmel explains how revenge operates similarly to an addiction in the brain, triggering the same pleasure and reward circuits. He recounts his own traumatic experience with bullying and how it led him to understand the destructive nature of revenge. The discussion covers the implications for criminal justice, the role of social media in exacerbating revenge behaviors, and practical strategies for managing revenge cravings, including the potential benefits of forgiveness. Dr. Kimmel's new book, "The Science of Revenge," explores these themes and offers insights into breaking free from the cycle of retribution.

In this eye-opening episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski is joined by Ann Sussman and Kelsey Bradley from the Human Architecture and Planning Institute (HAPI.org) to explore the fascinating intersection of architecture, biology, and human emotion. Ann and Kelsey reveal how our brains are hardwired to respond to certain visual cues—like faces, fractals, and even the color red—and how this understanding can revolutionize the way we design buildings and cities. From eye-tracking software that predicts where people look first, to how blank facades might make us feel uneasy, this episode unveils the science behind why some spaces feel better than others. Tune in to discover how embracing our biological instincts can lead to more humane, joyful, and walkable environments.More About Ann Sussman and Kelsey BradleyAnn Sussman, RA, an architect, researcher, and teacher is passionate about understanding how buildings impact us.

Feeling exhausted from trying to change family members who just don't seem to get it? You're not alone, and this might be draining your energy more than you realize.After experiencing this frustration while living with my mother for several months, I noticed the same pattern emerging in my coaching clients—the belief that if only their loved ones would change, everything would be better. This expectation creates a loop of disappointment that feeds directly into burnout.The hard truth I've learned through neuroscience and personal experience is that people rarely change because someone tells them to. Most humans are motivated by pain or avoiding pain, not by a desire for self-improvement. This explains why your heartfelt conversations about how someone's behavior affects you often fall on deaf ears—they aren't feeling enough discomfort to motivate change on your timeline.The pathway to freedom from this exhausting cycle isn't trying harder to make others understand. Instead, it comes from focusing on how you show up when triggered. When I stopped expecting my mother to change and started examining my own reactions—taking time to process my emotions before responding—something unexpected happened. She noticed. These shifts in my behavior sparked her curiosity in ways my words never could.This approach isn't settling or giving up. It's recognizing that modeling change is far more powerful than demanding it. Children learn by watching, not by being told, and adults aren't so different. By breaking your own patterns and responding with awareness rather than reaction, you create space for others to become curious about their own behavior.Ready to break free from this energy-draining cycle?

Ever feel like your brain just gives up on you halfway through the day? You're doing all the right things—grinding, pushing, sipping your fourth cup of coffee—and still, your focus slips and your energy crashes. It's not because you're lazy or lacking discipline. It's because your brain is burnt out. And guess what? There's science to back that up—and a solution that's way cooler than you'd think.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I got to sit down with Dr. Ramses Alcaide, a neuroscientist and the CEO of Neurable. Now, if you haven't heard of Neurable yet, you're about to have your mind blown—because they're not just making headphones, they're creating the future of brain optimization. We're talking real-time brainwave tracking, AI-powered productivity support, and tech that literally helps you prevent burnout before it even begins.Dr. Ramses shared some gold nuggets in our convo. One of the biggest takeaways? Breaks aren't just something nice to take—they're absolutely essential. But here's the kicker: not all breaks are created equal. Most of us think taking a break means scrolling through our phones or watching a random YouTube video. But according to neuroscience, those kinds of breaks don't help your brain recover. What you need are effective breaks—strategic rest that restores focus and reboots your mind for high performance.That's where Neurable comes in. These aren't just headphones—they're like a personal coach for your brain. They monitor your neural signals and tell you when you're locked in and when your focus is slipping. When it's time to take a break, you'll know. When it's time to power through, you'll be in flow. It's like turning your brain into your biggest productivity ally. For an entrepreneur trying to juggle it all, that's a massive win.We also dive into the power of experimentation. Dr. Ramses emphasized how no two brains are the same. What works for your buddy might not work for you. Some people recharge by moving their body, some through meditation, and others through quick mental resets. Neurable gives you insights to figure out what your brain needs, not just what productivity books tell you.Then we got into some seriously next-level stuff—like how this kind of brain-tech isn't just about optimizing your daily hustle. It's also paving the way for early detection and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Imagine having the ability to identify brain health issues years before symptoms show up. That's the kind of proactive health support that could change lives.And if you're thinking this tech is just for hardcore biohackers or neuroscientists, think again. Even if all you do is take calls and listen to music, these headphones are still worth it. The bonus is that you're supporting your brain while you're at it. I've been using them myself, and I gotta say—they're a game-changer.So whether you're running a startup or building your empire, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Ramses breaks down the science in a way that's extremely accessible, and the conversation is filled with real, actionable advice you can start using today.Want to hear how to stop burning out, start optimizing, and think your way to better performance?

In this episode we sit down with Brian Klaas, author of Fluke, and get into the existential lessons and grander meaning for a life well-lived (once one finally accepts the power and influence of randomness, chaos, and chance). In addition, we learn not to fall prey to proportionality bias - the tendency for human brains to assume big, historical, or massively impactful events must have had big causes and/or complex machinations underlying their grand outcomes. It's one of the cognitive biases that most contributes to conspiratorial thinking and grand conspiracy theories, one that leads to an assumption that there must be something more going on when big, often unlikely, events make the evening news. Yet, as Brian explains, events big and small are often the result of random inputs in complex systems interacting in ways that are difficult to predict.Previous EpisodesBrian KlaasFlukeHow Minds ChangeDavid McRaney's TwitterDavid McRaney's BlueSkyYANSS TwitterYANSS FacebookNewsletterKittedPatreon

What if you could design your training program based on how you walk? In this episode, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about gait assessment, and how the way you walk can reveal the health of your brain and give you clues about how to improve your movement and decrease pain. I discuss the difference between running gait and walking gait, the biomechanical rabbit hole, and why gait assessment is one of my most important assessment tools. I break down four common patterns to look for when assessing gait and give details on how to recognize them, what they mean for the brain and higher order systems, and starting points for training based on each pattern. I also talk about my earliest experiences with gait assessment, why people on Instagram think I'm crazy, and why my current training program revolves around improving my own walking gait.

In this episode, Han and Emily speak through an array of reminders that were important to hold close when diving into a committed recovery. The key takeaways are…Surrendering involves consistently doing. Even in the presence of doubt.Doing good often doesn't feel good.Your brain doesn't have to be on board.Neuroscience and psychology tells us the brain is wired for familiarity and survival, not joy or fulfilment.Your thoughts are not the truth. They cannot force you to act.Hunger is normal and safe. A body relentless communication of it (including mentally!) is absolutely reasonable.Discomfort is temporary. The hard moments will pass. Slips are not failures. Recovery is non linear.Embrace the fact that recovery is messy.Recovery is absolutely possible, and absolutely going to be worth it!

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we're diving into one of my favorite concepts from Anne Lamott's best-selling book, Bird by Bird.This simple, but life-changing strategy has been wicked helpful not only for me, but for my mentoring clients, too!It's one of the key ways that I've learned to approach and tackle overwhelming to-do lists without totally losing my mind. The core idea comes from a story that Anne wrote of in her book about a challenge her brother was facing as a kid, and how her father encouraged him with these now infamous words, “Bird by bird, buddy.”I share how this concept can be a total game-changer for you too, especially when you're facing an intimidating project – which can be anything from cleaning out a newly deceased parent's house to helping your kid apply to college, or learning a new skill or trying to start a podcast, etc.Whether you're an entrepreneur struggling with some fancy fandangled tech stuff or someone feeling frozen in their tracks by a complex task, the "Bird by Bird" method is your secret weapon against overwhelm and procrastination.The key is to stop looking at the entire mountain of work ahead and instead to simply focus on just the next teeny-tiny step you can take.Print out that PDF form, open the website, take a deep breath, type one sentence, do just one small thing to get you moving forward and gaining momentum.I'm all about keeping our nervous system calm and not letting fear and anxiety hijack our progress.Sometimes that means we've gotta' break things down to the absolute smallest action or even calling in help from someone who finds that “daunting to you” task easy.My biggest takeaway?We're capable of so much more when we're not in fight-or-flight mode. So please don't beat yourself up or get stuck in a shame spiral, and remember: you can handle anything by taking it “bird by bird.”KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Breaking big projects into tiny steps helps reduce overwhelm.• Try to focus on one small task at a time.• Avoid time traveling / future-tripping.• Your nervous system might respond better to incremental progress.• Ask for help from a smarty-pants when a task feels too complicated.• Don't shame yourself when you're feeling stuck or frustrated.• Most overwhelming projects become manageable when approached step-by-step.• Recognize when you're entering a habitual stress response and hit pause.• Remember that many tasks seem harder in anticipation than in execution.• Repeat the mantra "Bird by Bird" when feeling overwhelmed.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

I discuss the nervous system's protective patterns and advocate for compassionate, precise movements to foster safety and transformation. The episode blends biomechanics, neuroscience, and presence, offering tools for deeper understanding and application of therapeutic yoga.

In today's installment of our Wellness Wednesday series, we talk with Dr. Daniel Amen, psychiatrist and and founder of Amen Clinics, about ADHD and mental illness treatments in the United States. He tells us about the seven different types of ADHD that he has seen in his clinics as well as some of the potential causes and treatments beyond medication that are available. And are young boys being over-medicalized just for being rambunctious boys, or is there a real rise in ADHD diagnoses? Lastly, we pick Dr. Amen's brain, no pun intended, on marijuana and mushroom use in adolescents and just how harmful it can be.

Five Brain Leadership: How Neuroscience Can Help You Master Your Instincts and Build Better Teams by Carlos Davidovich MD, Jennifer Elizabeth Brunton PhD Amazon.com Carlosdavidovich.com Lead smarter. A handbook for your brain at work. High pressure. High conflict. High stress. Today, too many leaders believe that these states are not just natural, but inevitable. Nothing could be further from the truth. Using his skills as a medical doctor and his knowledge from many years in executive positions in the biotech pharmaceutical industry, in Five Brain Leadership, executive coach Carlos Davidovich walks you through the latest breakthroughs in the burgeoning fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and cognitive behavior to help you better understand your multilayered, magical mind, and how to work with it instead of against it in leading your team and building relationships. Neuromanagement is at the intersection of neuroscience and daily life in the business world. It is leadership that is based on a full understanding of all five of our interlocking brains—our reptilian, emotional, rational, and, yes, even our heart and gut “brains.” Through practical tools and exercises, you'll learn how to build your capacity in each of these control centers, and to recognize all the ways they are at play in how humans operate, interrelate, and react to change. Five-Brain Leadership is your pathway toward turning good leadership into great leadership, and reaching new levels of success in all of life's domains. About the author Carlos Davidovich, MD, is a performance and executive coach with over twenty years of experience. Originally educated as a medical doctor and drawing on his management experience in business executive roles for multinational pharmaceutical companies, Davidovich combines his understanding of the brain and of business to deliver lectures, workshops, and coaching modalities that help his clients apply the principles of neuromanagement within their organizations to create sustainable change. Davidovich teaches in several MBA programs in Canada and Europe, and is a thought leader with the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital.

Is your mind more than just your brain? Does the soul actually exist? These questions have been pondered for millennia. What does the latest scientific research suggest? On this ID The Future, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor begins a conversation with host Andrew McDiarmid about his new book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon's Case for the Existence of the Soul. Egnor makes a powerful case that our capacity for thought, reason, and free will points to something beyond mere brain function. After defining important terms, Egnor begins exploring the compelling evidence he has gathered across four decades of practice in neurosurgery. Along the way, Dr. Egnor also boldly challenges the Darwinian view of the mind's evolution, arguing that abstract thought and free will are immaterial and could not have arisen through natural selection. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Source

Now that we have the ability to see inside the brain without opening anyone's skull, we'll be able to map and define brain activity and peg it to behavior and feelings. Right? Well, maybe not, or maybe not just yet. It seems the workings of our brains are rather too complex and diverse across individuals to really say for certain what a brain scan says about a person. But Nobel prize winner Eric Kandel and researcher Cynthia Fu tell us about groundbreaking work in the field of depression that just may help us toward better diagnosis and treatment.Anything that helps us treat a disease better is welcome. Doctors have been led astray before by misunderstanding a disease and what makes it better. Neurologist Robert Sapolsky tells us about the turn of the last century, when doctors discovered that babies who died inexplicably in their sleep had thymus glands that seemed far too large. Blasting them with radiation shrank them effectively, and so was administered to perfectly healthy children to prevent this sudden infant death syndrome...Leadership support for Radiolab's science programming is provided by the Simons Foundation and the John Templeton Foundation.
