Podcasts about nurturing

By Kenneth J Cline - How do we personally and specifically nurture our relationship with God? Here are three ways to help us nurture our relationship with the Eternal.

Resources for Self-Kindness:The Secret Art of Happiness: Change Your Life with the Reiki Ideals by Geneva Robins - a book with a whole chapter on kindness!Kindness Meditation - a gentle meditation to expand all forms of kindnessSaying No  - a blog post on how kind it is to say a beautiful NOReiki Sessions - a big help on getting compassionate support and energy How do you activate Self-kindness?Try Shifting your Inner Talk to NeutralIf you've been in a highly self-critical mode for a while, it can be difficult to shift immediately to kind inner talk. One method that can help is to shift to a neutral statement that you already believe. Try something like "I am a human being."Then try "All humans are worthy of kindness."Before going to "Therefore, I am worthy of kindness because I am a human being."By shifting into a neutral statement in this way, you activate a gentle space inside that just sidesteps the fight the inner critic puts up when you first try to talk to yourself kindly. You just go around the arguments with a gentle and patient logic. Sometimes you can flip the statements of the inner critic into their exact opposites to create a new inner dialogue. You can take "You're never good enough" and turn it into "I'm always myself, and who I am is enough."Be Physically Kind  and Nurturing to YourselfSometimes words are not enough. Tiny acts of self-care can go a long way to rebalancing your nervous system. Even something as simple as putting on a cozy sweater or adjusting your body so you're more comfortable can be a sign to your inner self that you are now living your life in a new, self-kind way. These tiny actions prove to your inner child that you will actually take care of yourself.Practicing and Skill-building for Self-kind TalkAlmost anything we do is a skill that can be practiced. Gently remind yourself that you are practicing this new skill of self-kindness. Start where you're at and be okay with your progress and slips. It is all a new space, gradually filling with grace as your skills grow.We learn how to be kind to ourselves from our family and other carers. But if they don't have those skills of emotional regulation, soothing, and reframing thoughts, then they can't teach you. So now, as an adult, you may be learning kind self-talk skills that you wished you had learned as a child. Be gentle with your progress. It's almost like learning a new language. So be patient and keep practicing even through the mistakes and wobbly first attempts at a new way of relating to yourself.Go to People who are Professionally Kind!If you've been surrounded by unkind people and have absorbed their cruel inner talk, it is incredibly helpful to get help from professionals trained who are to hold a compassionate space for you.Therapy, Reiki, Meditation, Yoga, and other allied health practitioners have spent years and even decades practicing gentle and kind methods that can help you grow your inner kindness. If in doubt, reach out!

Hello Beloved. In a world where our attention spans are shrinking, true hope for our livelihoods—and our lives—emerges when we step beyond binary thinking. Embracing shades of gray opens the door to richer, more nuanced perspectives on every situation.By accepting that multiple truths can coexist, we lift the crushing weight of forcing every decision into a rigid right-or-wrong box.Nurturing trust in our intuition and inner wisdom erodes the compulsion for constant external approval or lengthy defenses.This quiet inner confidence fortifies the seamless harmony of body, mind, heart, and soul, while awakening our natural capacity to weather doubt and exhaustion.What Holds Us Back from Revelations of Self-CompassionThe Moment Everything Changes — exists at a threshold in a moment when the familiar path and the unknown future collide. Here, we stand at the Choice Point.It's not a single decision. It's a recurring crossroads where we face the most primal question: Asking: Do I stay with what I know, or do I step toward what calls me?The First SOVEREIGN SOUNDS SERIES Podcast showcases the etymological breakdown (more fun than you think - super empowering) through the story of Florence Nightingale back in 1854, choosing to leave her comfortable English life to revolutionize medicine in a war-torn hospital that told through the ETYMOLOGY of “COMPASSION".”If you want to hear and transform your relation to this word, you can upgrade at any point to unlock The Light Between Oracle App + Private Episodes where I channel these downloads. Dismantling the Four Walls of Self-DoubtYou face it every time you consider leaving a job, ending a relationship, speaking a truth, or claiming your authentic self.The Choice Point is where transformation begins. But it's also where most of us freeze.Understanding the forces that keep us paralyzed at the threshold—and more importantly, how to move through them—is the work of reclaiming our power.The Four Walls of the PrisonFear of the Unknown: The Primary ObstacleFear is the gatekeeper of the Choice Point.Not the fear of failure or consequences—though those exist. The deepest, most paralyzing fear is the fear of not knowing what comes next. Our nervous systems are wired for certainty. Uncertainty triggers our threat-detection systems.When we contemplate the unknown, our amygdala fires. Our breath shortens. We retreat to what we know, even if it's painful, because painful and known feels safer than uncertain and new.This is why people stay in unfulfilling jobs, relationships that drain them, and lives that don't fit. The devil you know is more manageable than the devil you don't.The truth: The unknown is not dangerous—it's just unfamiliar. And familiarity is not safety; it's often just habit wearing the mask of security.Attachment to Past Patterns and “Known Suffering”There's a paradox at the heart of human psychology: We become attached to our pain.Our wounds become our identity. Our limiting beliefs become our armor. The story we've told ourselves for years—“I'm not worthy,” “I'm too broken,” “People like me don't get to have that”—becomes so familiar that it feels like truth.When offered the possibility of transformation, we unconsciously cling to the pattern. Because at least we know how to survive it. At least there's a narrative. At least there's a reason.This is what psychologists call the “comfort in suffering”—the twisted familiarity that makes even pain feel like home.The Choice Point asks us to grieve what we're leaving behind, even if it was killing us. And that grief is real. That loss is real. Even when the old pattern was destructive, letting it go means losing an identity we've spent years constructing.The truth: Healing requires grieving. But the cost of staying is always higher than the cost of going.Narrow Paths vs. Opening to Infinite PossibilitiesHere's something CRITICAL and why active concious thinking is foundational. Our minds are pattern-recognition machines designed for efficiency, not expansion.The mind works by creating neural pathways. The more we travel a particular thought or behavior, the deeper the groove becomes. Over time, these grooves feel like the only paths available. The mind literally cannot perceive possibilities outside these worn tracks.This is called “cognitive narrowing,” and it's hardwired into our neurology.When faced with a Choice Point, the mind does what it's trained to do: it generates only the solutions it's already mapped. It says, Here are your three options” when actually there are 300. It insists, “This is realistic” while dismissing what's possible as fantasy.We are collectively re-aligning the “all is mind.”The Choice Point isn't just about willpower or courage. It's about expanding the mental field itself—opening to possibilities the conditioned mind cannot yet perceive.This requires what we might call a “frequency shift”—a change in consciousness that literally opens new neural pathways and allows previously invisible solutions to appear.Trust: The Key That Unlocks the TransitionAll three obstacles—fear, attachment, and mental narrowing—lock together into one immovable wall: lack of trust.Trust in ourselves. Trust in the process. Trust that the ground will hold us when we take a step into the unknown.Without trust, we're trying to move through the Choice Point while our nervous system screams “danger.” We're negotiating with fear rather than transcending it.But trust isn't blind faith. It's not ignoring real risks or pretending danger doesn't exist.True trust is remembering that you've already survived every difficult moment in your life. You've moved through uncertainty before. Your body knows how to adapt. Your spirit has weathered storms you thought would destroy you.Trust is recognizing that there's an intelligence working through you—not just your rational mind, but your intuition, your embodied wisdom, your spiritual knowing. Align with that larger intelligence and each Choice Point becomes navigable.This is where language transforms the nervous system itself. When we reclaim the word Trust from its distorted meanings—blind obedience, naïveté, passivity—and return it to its root (a Germanic word meaning “to comfort” or “to strengthen”), we literally change our nervous system's response to the unknown.The truth: You have everything you need to move through the Choice Point. You just need to remember it.The Evolution of Language: How We Lost Our WayFrom Collective Intuition to Fragmented Mind - our ancestors didn't face the Choice Point as we do.Early human societies operated from a place of collective intuition—a kind of group consciousness where decisions emerged from shared sensing rather than individual analysis. Bodies, hearts, and minds moved as one intelligence.There was no paralyzing individual choice. There was knowing. A seamless trust in the collective direction.Then came language.Language was revolutionary and traumatic simultaneously.Words gave us the ability to communicate across time and space. They allowed civilization to build. But they also fragmented us. Words separated the knower from the known. They created subject and object, self and other, safety and danger.As language developed, it slowly replaced embodied knowing with mental analysis. We stopped trusting our gut. We started overthinking. We moved from intuition to ideology.By the time we reached the Enlightenment, trust in the mind had become supreme—and trust in the body, intuition, and collective wisdom had atrophied almost completely.This is why the Choice Point feels so isolating and terrifying now. We're making the decision alone, with only the overthinking mind as our guide. We've lost access to the embodied wisdom and collective knowing that would make the transition feel natural.The Body, the Heart, and Language All Different Channels of KnowingHere's a crucial distinction: The body and mind speak different languages.The body knows through sensation and intuition. It receives information instantaneously—what some call “gut feeling” or “heart knowing.” This wisdom doesn't require analysis. It just is.The mind knows through logic, language, and analysis. It requires evidence, reasoning, and time to process.Neither is superior. They're complementary intelligence systems.But as language became the dominant channel of communication, the body's wisdom became marginalized. We learned to doubt our gut. We were told to “think logically” and ignore our feelings. We were trained to second-guess intuition and defer to external expertise.This created a crisis at the Choice Point: We're using only half our intelligence to make full-life decisions.The path through the Choice Point requires both channels:The mind to discern the practical details and logistics The body to feel the rightness or wrongness of the direction The heart to connect with why this choice matters The spirit to sense the alignment with our larger soul purposeWhen all four are integrated, the Choice Point becomes a place of clarity rather than paralysis.Language as a Living Entity: How Words Shape Our ChoicesHere's where things get deeply revolutionary: Language is not fixed. It breathes.Words are living frequencies that carry the imprint of human consciousness across time. When a culture shifts, words shift with it. And when we understand how a word has been distorted, we can reclaim its original power.Consider how certain words—like Trust, Faith, Surrender, Intuition—have been shaped and twisted by different historical periods.Medieval Europe: Trust was tied to God and divine order. There was a collective framework holding the trust.Industrial Revolution: Trust narrowed. It became about institutions and external authority. Trust in the system. Trust in the expert. Trust in the hierarchy.Modern Era: Trust fragmented further. We distrust institutions. We distrust expertise. We distrust each other. And most dangerously, we distrust ourselves.The result: We're trying to move through the Choice Point with no trust at all.And, my beloved…. here's the liberation: By understanding how the word has been distorted, we can restore its original frequency.When we trace Trust back to its roots—to mean “to comfort,” “to strengthen,” “to hold steady”—we access a different nervous system response. We're not just intellectually deciding to trust. We're activating a frequency in our body that remembers trust as a felt experience, not a concept. Words are spells and shape consciousness.The Architecture of the Choice Point: Three PhasesTransformation at the Choice Point unfolds in distinct phases:Phase 1: Awareness (The Recognition)You begin to see that the current path no longer fits. Something is calling. The discomfort that once seemed normal now feels intolerable.This is where most people get stuck—they see the problem but convince themselves to adjust to it rather than change it. They re-narrate the suffering as meaningful. They spiritualize their dysfunction.True awareness requires honest grief: admitting that something in your life is not working.Phase 2: The Threshold (The Fear)You stand at the actual Choice Point. The old path is visible behind you. The new path is invisible ahead of you.This is where all four obstacles crystallize: Fear screams Attachment pulls backward The mind insists the new path doesn't exist Trust evaporatesThis phase is not meant to be comfortable. Discomfort at the Choice Point is a sign of integrity, not a sign to turn back.Phase 3: The Leap and Landing (The Integration)You move through. The ground holds. You begin to integrate the new frequency. The new path becomes visible as you walk it—not before.Most people want to see the entire new path before they step forward. But that's not how transformation works. We get vision as we move, not before.Four Practices for Moving Through the Choice Point* Embody Your BodyPractice feeling sensation without narrative. Place your hand on your heart. Notice: What does your body know that your mind hasn't admitted yet?Your body doesn't lie. It carries wisdom your mind has trained itself to ignore.Reclaim Trust as a FrequencyRepeat: “I remember the word. I reclaim the root. I restore the power.”Place your hand on your heart and feel what trust actually feels like—not as a concept, but as a sensation of being held, strengthened, comforted.* Expand Your Mental FieldAsk: “What possibilities exist beyond what I can currently imagine?”This simple question opens neural pathways. It signals your brain that there are more options than the three the conditioned mind has offered.Connect to Collective KnowingYou don't have to figure this out alone. There's an intelligence working through human history, through your bloodline, through the zeitgeist of this moment.Ask: “What wants to emerge through me? What is my soul's larger purpose in this transition?”Express Your Choice Point ExerciseIn Closing: While the new paradigm hasn't fully materialized yet. We're all standing in the threshold together.The opportunity is that we're not paralyzed alone anymore. We're standing at the threshold with millions of others who are also choosing to evolve. The Mantra for the Choice PointAs you contemplate your own threshold, return to this again and again:I remember: My body knows. My intuition knows. My spirit knows. I've survived every difficult moment. I have access to more wisdom than my overthinking mind.Surrender as power, not weakness.Intuition as light intelligence, not fantasy.I restore: The power to choose. The power to transform. The power to walk into the unknown and have it become known as I move. CHOOSE to Deepen Your ExplorationThis deep exploration is a small reflection of The Sovereign Sounds Series Podcast that creates one word as a conceptual map of a Choice Point. The vertical energetic origin and the horizontal effects through time as it became a frequency of power over and power under. The Choice Point is calling. Trust is the key. And you have everything you need to move through.Incantations and Reflections for IntegrationAs you sit with this exploration, journal on:* Where am I standing at a Choice Point right now—even if I haven't fully admitted it?* What pattern am I most attached to, even though it no longer serves me?PS: Be on the lookout for the first privast podcast drop and over $258+ intuitive enriching resources to help you on your evolutionary journey.

Recent surveys and research indicate that many men inAmerica, particularly younger men, are hesitant to date. This aversion isreflected in the rising rates of singledom and loneliness among young men, withvarious fears influencing their dating behavior.  **Key Statistics and Findings:** - **Approaching Women:** A 2024 study by psychologist AndrewThomas from DatePsychology found that 59% of single men aged 18 to 25 had notapproached a woman for dating in the past year. This percentage was slightlylower for men aged 26 to 40, at 48%. - **Concerns About Rejection:** In a 2025 article by Vox, aresearcher noted a sense of "risk aversion" among young men, as manyfear rejection when they attempt to initiate romantic connections. Surveys showthat men experience rejection more often than women; one poll indicated that28% of men reported being romantically rejected "at least a fair number oftimes," compared to just 16% of women. Relationship expert and matchmaker Paul Roseberry is here toshare his best practices for finding, building, and nurturing a happy andrewarding relationship.

Erin Cole, founder of Nurturing Our Seeds in Detroit, shares how a porch-side safety moment on Helen Street—mowing vacant lots for elders—grew from a first flower patch into mustard and turnip greens, and ultimately a neighborhood farm and seed-saving hub. We dig into living soil, herb-based compost teas, seed starting as food sovereignty as they supply transplants to 14 Black farms and save okra seed with the Ujamaa Seed Cooperative, and adapting to climate chaos with part-shade cucumbers. We also talk land access and how the Detroit Black Farmer Land Fund strengthens community control—plus Erin's quest to breed a hot pink okra.

What if nurturing isn't something you feel, but something you grow? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott, and Lydia to unpack the sermon on nurturing the kind of strength that builds others up. Lydia shares what it felt like to prepare a message many women receive with mixed emotions, and why turning to Scripture, not culture, is the only way to truly understand God's heart. Together, we explore what nurture is, what it isn't, why it matters, and how it reflects the very character of Christ. The Challenge: Don't wait to "feel ready." Take one step this week to nurture someone intentionally, sacrificially, and with the strength God supplies. Hosts: Neil Gregory, Scott Nickell, & Lydia Florence  ⸻ What We Discuss Why preparing this sermon required sitting with Scripture deeply How nurture is more than personality, it's cultivation The cultural confusion around womanhood and motherhood The biblical picture of strengthening others Why clarity is kindness in discipleship and teaching How Jesus Himself models perfect nurturing strength The lie that flourishing comes from self-reliance The beauty and cost of nurturing relationships A call for both men and women to move from consuming to contributing in the church ⸻  About Southland Christian Church  Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. We want what He wants: for heaven to be really crowded. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

As economic, societal and environmental conditions deteriorate, social tensions are escalating. Some politicians use fear to fuel their own extreme agendas and it's increasingly popular to blame others for the ills of the world. Nationalism and discrimination are at their worst in decades. This has significant negative impact on workplace cohesion as many feel increasingly marginalised.  Yet in contrast, scientific research shows the extent to which successful innovation – much needed in most organisations today – comes from diversity of thought. And different perspectives come, of course, from a rich diversity of lived experience. In this episode, Amraze Khan shares his experience of working in EDI and examines the increasingly urgent need for inclusion at work.   Amraze Khan (He/Him) Amraze is the Head of EDI at Manchester Metropolitan University, where he leads the vision, supporting the University to become intentionally inclusive for its 4,500 staff members and around 40,000 students. He has worked in EDI for nearly a decade, with experience in senior leadership roles across various industries comprising of the NHS, within Charities and Local Government. Prior to this, Amraze worked in senior communication roles in the NHS and Civil Service. Outside of work, Amraze is a proud Yorkshireman, a carer, father to two cats, a Trustee at Rochdale Mind, an avid blogger, and podcaster.   Find Amraze on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amraze-khan-mcipd-miepd-94a1a56b/

We're here to cut the leash.” “Hyperfluency is the ability to geek out with geeks, and still explain your work to your grandma at Thanksgiving.” “These people are kind of mutants—they don't fit in typical systems.” “All kids under five are geniuses. The system just squashes it out of them.” “The most shocking thing? People publicly attacked the Fellows. Not just the program—the people. Teenagers.” “Crazy, crazy awesome—we can't tell if they're insane or brilliant, and it'll take years to find out.” “Big screens good, small screens bad.” “In the future, I want to be funding 11-year-olds. The world won't be ready, but I will be.” “We just want to talk to wily weirdos who want to be around other wily weirdos.”

Show Notes: David Nour, author of Relationship Economics, discusses the six phases of strategic relationships. He emphasizes intentionality and a portfolio approach to relationship investing. The six phases he uses throughout the episode are: mapping, relating, nurturing, sustaining, requesting, and capitalizing. Different Levels of Relationship Management  Nour explains that when a challenge arises, the first questions should be: Who do I need? Who do I know? How do I connect the dots? He contrasts haphazard outreach, simple lists, and CRM-driven discipline, underscoring the importance of intentionality and consistency. He highlights relationship mapping to achieve specific goals—beginning with identifying targets, nurturing, and sustaining relationships. In a pharma example, he shows how to identify key companies and contacts and introduces the ideal relationship profile—focusing on specific individuals (not logos) because relationships are built between people. He also stresses finding “lookalikes”: individuals whose values are aligned, who value and respect the relationship.  Cold Outreach to Build Relationships On building new relationships—especially via cold outreach—Nour recommends focusing on fewer but better-qualified leads: go where potential clients already are (e.g., micro-events), be more interested than interesting, and engage with thoughtful questions. Quick, consistent follow-up turns initial introductions into meaningful relationships. He shares specific questions he uses to spark valuable conversations and secure meetings.  Initial Conversations in Relationship Building Nour critiques “intellectually lazy” openings like “Tell me about your situation.” Instead, come prepared with a hypothesis based on research and use questions to set the agenda. Authenticity matters: each consultant should develop their own style. To avoid being forgettable, respectfully provoke prospects to think differently.  Unpacking the Four Middle Phases Nour details the four phases that form the “engine” of relationship development: Relating: Share relevant stories so prospects see themselves in similar situations. Nurturing: Add value with ideas, checklists, and stress-testing to build trust and credibility. Sustaining: Maintain momentum over time; help the buyer buy; enable internal champions. Requesting: Earn the right to ask for deeper access (e.g., org charts, NDAs, stakeholder conversations) to better understand needs and increase impact.  Capitalizing on Relationships After Project Completion Two-thirds of the way through a project, identify existing, impending, and created needs to link projects and avoid losing momentum post-delivery. Nour shares how he invites senior executives from one client to speak at another client's event (non-competing industries), creating an ecosystem of seasoned leaders who become walking case studies. Climbing the Relationship Value Pyramid Nour bridges the gap between recognizing the importance of relationships and harnessing their significance with three ideas: Intelligent Relationship Management: Set relationship-centric outcomes, identify pivotal contacts, and make consistent “favor economy” deposits. Strategic Relationship Planning: Map company-to-company relationships from now to next (champions, cadence, outcomes). Relationship Value Pyramid: Categorize by depth and relevance—situation, investment, portfolio, recall (2 a.m.)—and apply a portfolio approach with a “three-touch rule” before reallocating attention.  Reciprocity in Relationship Building Nour reviews gratitude, reciprocity, and paying it forward as observable behaviors. Twice a year, he reviews his top 100 relationships to prioritize where to invest next. He also mentions Avnir, his AI platform that builds a private relationship vault from existing data sources and prompts context-relevant actions to deepen connections.  Timestamps 05:40: Mapping & Ideal Relationship Profiles 10:20: Building New Relationships (Cold Outreach) 22:16: The Six Phases: Mapping, Relating, Nurturing, Sustaining, Requesting, Capitalizing 28:31: Capitalizing on Relationships 35:51: Relationship Economics Framework 42:34: Portfolio Approach & Three-Touch Rule 48:41: Activating the Untapped Power of Relationships  Links Professional Services Website: DavidNour.com AI Platform Website: Avnir.com Nour on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidnour/   Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

In this heartwarming and insightful episode, Tara sits down with Ms. Monica, beloved educator and YouTube sensation, to talk about the power of early childhood education and the importance of literacy. Known for her joyful “Circle Time with Ms. Monica,” she shares how her passion for teaching and connecting with children inspired her to bring learning into homes during the pandemic, helping parents everywhere create meaningful learning moments right from their living rooms. The conversation dives into the state of literacy today, exploring how less than half of U.S. children are read to daily and why consistency and intentionality are key to fostering a lifelong love of reading. Ms. Monica offers practical tips for parents, like building a print-rich environment, modeling reading behavior, and even turning everyday activities like neighborhood walks into learning opportunities. Together, Tara and Ms. Monica explore the balance between technology and real-world experiences, discussing how screens can complement, not replace, human connection and curiosity.

With the (yes, weird to make it a footnote but) footnote that the global environmental, cultural, social and real human costs of AI are massive, today we are zeroing in on just one question about AI: the impact of AI on kids and parents. How will the coming ubiquity of AI tools in our homes, schools and workplaces impact child development, parenthood and the world our children will inherit in their adulthood? Our guest today is Doctor Dana Suskind, founder and Co-Director of the a Center for Early Learning + Public Health at the University of Chicago, Founding Director of the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program, and Professor of Surgery, Pediatrics, and Public Policy at the University of Chicago. She is the author of “Thirty Million Words: Building a Child's Brain” and “Parent Nation: Unlocking Every Child's Potential, Fulfilling Society's Promise.” Her next book, on AI and early childhood development, will be published by Penguin Dutton in the Fall of 2026.In this meaty episode, we talk to Dr. Suskind about about how using AI impacts our minds and how she is thinking about its influence on developing brains in particular. What do we know right now about what happens when kids interact with AI? From the episode: “The vast majority of brain development happens, some 90 % happens within the first five years of life, and it is almost entirely dependent on their exposure to language and nurturing interaction. That's what wires up the brain. We call it serve and return between caregiver and child. Nurturing interaction builds the social brain, and our ability as humans to connect. What does it mean when all of a sudden you have AI tools that want to step in and take over some of those serve and return? Infants' learn not from perfect interaction, they learn from the imperfect. From that emotionally rich dance between parent and caregiver — those slight mismatches, our imperfect parenting. It's actually biologically required to [help our children] become human that we are imperfect. This is an important moment. A.I. could fundamentally change who we are if we're not careful.” - Dr. Dana SuskindTwo Princeton professors wrote in a paper on AI recently that AI will “supercharge capitalism.” Will AI also supercharge what is expected from us as humans, and as parents? If we want to insulate our kids from this technological moment, but we also want to raise nimble, adaptable kids who can get jobs in a world where using AI will be a must-have skill, how can we think about this cultural and practical tension in the context of parenthood without having a panic attack?Dr. Suskind helps us think through this rapidly evolving moment with clarity and humor, and she shares a simple strategy from her forthcoming book that Sarah and I will definitely be implementing ASAP.Links: * Dr. Dana Suskind * UNICEF and World Economic Forum paper: Children and AI: What are the opportunities and risks?* Empire of AI by Karen Hao* Your brain on AI (MIT study on ChatGPT's impact on learning)* Miranda on AI and kids in The Atlantic* AI and colonialism (supertopic at MIT) * Brian Scassellati, Ph.D. at the Yale Robotics lab* Wait Until 8th pledgeIf you love the work we do on Mother Of It All, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into the real drivers of sustainable success with Dr. Ryan Williamson—board-certified neurologist, Navy veteran, and founder of Transcendent Health. Ryan breaks down his BRAIN Protocol (Breath, Rest, Activity, Intake, Nurturing) and shows why elite performance starts with biology, not hustle. From the physiological sigh to box breathing, sleep discipline, daily movement, and community, he maps out low-cost, evidence-based ways to reduce burnout, sharpen cognition, and extend both lifespan and healthspan. We also discuss purpose (“Find Your Why”), habit compounding, and how to vet health advice in a noisy marketplace. Direct, actionable, and built for busy professionals. About the guest : Dr. Ryan Williamson is a board-certified neurologist and former Navy Lieutenant Commander who has treated high-pressure performers, from sailors and Marines to special forces. He now leads Transcendent Health, helping entrepreneurs and leaders optimize brain health, stress resilience, and longevity. He's the author of The Incredible Brain. Key takeaways : Success needs health first: Hustle without sleep, nutrition, and recovery accelerates aging and chronic disease risk. BRAIN Protocol: B – Breath: Use the physiological sigh (long nasal inhale, quick top-up nasal inhale, slow mouth exhale) for rapid downshift. R – Rest: Protect sleep to support cognition, mood, and metabolic health. A – Activity: Daily movement offers the largest whole-body ROI; stand more, walk more, lift regularly. I – Intake: Prioritize quality nutrition and timing; you're already spending here—spend smarter. N – Nurturing: Community and relationships buffer stress and improve long-term health. Micro-habits work: Five to ten minutes of breathwork daily builds stress resilience via neuroplasticity. Move during work: Standing more and walk-and-talk calls can meaningfully raise activity; ~10,000 steps correlates with lower all-cause mortality. Purpose powers compliance: Write down your “why,” keep it visible, and reverse-engineer habits from that end state. Democratize longevity: Most wins are free or low-cost—breathing, sleep, walking, and social support. Vet your sources: Check credentials and incentives before adopting protocols or buying supplements.
