In an attempt to cope with a harsh and overwhelming world, many of us unconsciously desensitize ourselves to block out pain. But here is the catch: our emotions do not have selective volume knobs; when we numb the darkness, we also numb the light. In this episode, we explore this numbness paradox—why avoiding pain kills your joy—and how to safely open your heart to feel fully alive again. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.
Today's episode is not about narcissists. Today's episode is about the narcissistic paradox: the fact that we keep saying the problem is them when the issue also lives within us—in our attachment wiring, our nervous systems, our culture, our spiritual cravings, and our private incentives. Because let's stop pretending: if narcissists caused the entire problem by themselves, then they would not keep getting invited back into our lives. People do not merely “run into” egocentric partners. People orbit them. People stay. People explain. People spiritualize. People romanticize. And then people act surprised when the outcome matches the design.

You're fast. You're sharp. You see three moves ahead while everyone else is still processing move one. And somehow, that's become your biggest leadership problem.In this five-minute wake-up call, Kristin Browning breaks down why the traits that made you exceptional are now holding your team back. If you've ever wondered why your high-performing, fast-moving leadership style creates more questions than clarity, or why your team waits for you instead of taking initiative, this episode will flip your entire approach.This isn't about slowing down. It's about leading smarter.
Is the discomfort you're trying to fix actually the signal calling you back to your soul instead of another problem to solve? Josh Trent welcomes Ex-Comedian, Kyle Cease, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 791, to explore how fasting dissolves emotional hunger, why effort and ambition are often trauma driven, how the ego uses goals and problems to stay in control, why pain is a spiritual teacher, and how surrendering identity, outcomes, and the need to be someone can reconnect us to soul, presence, and God.
In this episode I read the first chapter of the Paradoxes of Juggling by Michael Staroseletsky, a book published by NDjuggling.com which of course is run by Niels Duinker who was a guest on the podcast back in episode 135. If you are interested in ways to view the world through a craft this is a book you should check out. If you're interested in advanced practice and the technique of juggling this is a great read. It is also part of the brand new Compendium of Soviet Juggling Wisdom.What if a juggling act is more than patterns in the air—what if it's a blueprint for freedom, identity, and the courage to keep going when you drop? We dive into a lyrical reading from Michael Staroseletsky's The Paradoxes of Juggling and unpack why this art form refuses shortcuts and demands honesty. From the first image of balls moving like “living creatures” to the stubborn physics of clubs that won't always obey, we sit with the tension between intention and reality and show how mastery grows inside that friction.Staroseletsky's core claim is perhaps that the trick is both the vehicle and the destination. Juggling isn't just technique polished to shine; it's an inner practice that widens your tolerance for error and refines your timing until correction feels effortless. We explore the paradox that to juggle more, you must accept more—more variables, more variance, and more responsibility for recovery.We also talk about persona and truth onstage. Circus artists often “play themselves,” so the work only lands when the human behind the pattern is vivid and honest. Props aren't passive; the moment an object leaves your hand, it asserts its own will, and the act becomes a dialogue you can see—rhythm as visible music, choreography in space, and story told through catches and drops.If Staroseletsky's vision resonates, you'll find the book at ndjuggling.com alongside other gems for artists, jugglers, and curious minds. Listen, reflect, and tell us what craft is teaching you about time, space, and self.

In this episode of the Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast, Wil interviews Trace Miller, the founder and CEO of Konala, a health-focused fast-casual brand. Miller shares the incredible personal story that anchors his business: his own childhood battle with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that began at age three. While doctors predicted he would be brain dead by age 13, Miller credits his mother with being the "desperate" researcher who refused to give up, eventually finding the medical professionals and the strict nutritional protocol that cured him. This life-altering experience with the power of food, combined with Miller's military background and his "Simple scales, fancy fails" philosophy, serves as the foundation for Konala's mission to provide delicious, high-protein, and convenient whole-food meals to the public.10 Key TakeawaysTrace Miller's Personal Miracle: Miller himself was the patient who suffered from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome; he was cured through a strict medical ketogenic diet after a grim prognosis.A Mother's Relentless Research: The cure was discovered not by doctors, but by Miller's mother, who spent years researching alternative medical texts and articles to save her son."Simple Scales, Fancy Fails": This is Miller's primary business mantra, emphasizing that operational simplicity is the key to successful expansion, while over-complication leads to failure.Nuanced View on Seed Oils: While Miller personally avoids them and recognizes their inflammatory nature, he acknowledges they "play a role" in the industry as an affordable fat that can be "helpful" for managing margins.The Philosophy of Via Negativa: Miller applies the concept of "improvement through subtraction," focusing on removing unnecessary or harmful elements from the menu to enhance the final product.Focus on Metabolic Health: Konala was built to address the American metabolic crisis, specifically targeting the 74% of the population that is overweight or obese.The Paradox of Choice: Miller keeps the Konala menu intentionally small (around 12 to 20 items) to reduce decision fatigue for customers and operational friction for staff.Military Discipline and Self-Education: Miller's leadership style and business acumen were largely shaped by his time in the military and his commitment to being a "perpetual student" through reading.The Value of Consistency: Miller argues that long-term success requires the discipline to "do the boring things" consistently for 15 years rather than chasing "flashy" or "fancy" shortcuts.Strategic Franchising: Konala focuses on partnering with franchisees who have multi-unit experience to ensure the brand's high standards are maintained during growth.
Oliver Burkeman, author of "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking," dismantles the self-help industry's obsession with optimism and goal-setting. Raised as a Quaker with pro-social parents, Burkeman explores why chasing happiness often makes us miserable, how negative visualization (imagining worst-case scenarios) builds resilience, and why acceptance of uncertainty is more valuable than relentless positivity. He explains that we already know the five or six things required for a meaningful life—good relationships, sleep, nature, exercise—but consuming more books and courses becomes procrastination disguised as progress. The conversation tackles spiritual bypassing, why new information rarely solves our problems, and how shifting perspective at an emotional level matters more than intellectual understanding. This is a contrarian, practical take on self-improvement that challenges the tyranny of positive thinking. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode, I break down what calibration really means and why most people get it wrong. Calibration is about adjusting your energy, presence, and behavior to fit the moment, not shape shifting to please others. The paradox is this: the better you get at calibrating, the less you actually have to change. High performers don't become chameleons, they become more of themselves. When you do that, the world starts to align with you instead of the other way around. Show Notes: [01:58]#1 Calibration is rooted in awareness, not adaptation. [05:57]#2 Calibration is just a volume adjustment of where you're at. [09:40]#3 Over calibration is a sign of weakness. [13:57] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2512: How To "Read The Room" Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

The best way to succinctly describe CAMP4 and the parties driving progress in this field (Cure SYNGAP1, families, researchers) is, for anyone familiar with Jim Collins' book "Good to Great," they have fully embraced the "Stockdale Paradox": To succeed in difficult circumstances you must 1) confront the brutal facts (severity of the disorder, devastating impact on patients and families, lack of treatment) while 2) maintaining unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end. It gives us conviction that there WILL be a therapy approved for SYNGAP sooner than later and CAMP is most likely to deliver it.

Let us know what you thought about the show!In this episode, Jason speaks with Myra Salzer, CFP® & Melissa Hoyer, CFP®, CPCC of The Wealth Conservancy to explore how individuals navigating inherited or sudden wealth can shift from overwhelm to clarity, agency, and purpose. Rather than treating money as a purely financial matter, Myra and Melissa illuminate the emotional, psychological, and relational realities of wealth — and how aligning values with financial decisions can transform wealth into a meaningful ally rather than a burden.They discuss the unique identity challenges faced by inheritors, the central role of fiduciary responsibility, and the importance of proactive communication, legacy planning, and intentional philanthropy.Key Highlights & InsightsDecoding Financial Jargon — What the Terms Really MeanCertified Financial Planner (CFP®): A CFP® serves as a strategic integrator overseeing a client's entire financial ecosystem — taxes, estate strategy, insurance, investments, and long-term planning — rather than focusing only on asset management.Fiduciary Standard: A fiduciary is legally obligated to put the client's interests first, which often contrasts with institutions whose primary duty is to shareholders.Redefining Wealth: Derived from historical roots meaning “well-being” and “health,” true wealth expands beyond finances to include emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and community well-being.The Human Reality of Inherited & Sudden WealthThe “tsunami effect” of sudden financial responsibility often occurs without emotional or practical preparation.Paradox of Self-Worth: Entrepreneurs may connect identity to productivity, while inheritors may experience declining self-worth as net worth increases.The “Luxury of Doing Nothing” Dilemma: Without survival-driven motivation, inheritors must intentionally create purpose, challenge, and structure.Wealth as an Amplifier: Money magnifies existing traits — generosity, anxiety, creativity, or avoidance.Legacy, Family Dynamics & Proactive PlanningFair vs. Equal: Families frequently confuse equality with fairness — and the distinction matters.The biggest estate-planning risk is surprise; open, multi-generational dialogue reduces conflict and shock.Purpose-Driven Philanthropy: Giving should reflect authentic values — not obligation or performance.Their approach integrates both technical financial strategy and coaching-informed human insight.Programs, Resources & MentionsThe Way Into Wealth Program — An eight-session, one-on-one coaching experience aligning inner values with financial reality.Visit: wayintowealth.comThe Wealth Conservancy — A retainer-based fiduciary advisory firm specializing in complex wealth strategy and stewardship.Visit: thewealthconservancy.com | twwcinc.orgThe Family Room Wellness AssociatesOnline Therapy and Coaching with Jason Wasser, LMFTCheck out our guests books!Want to learn more from our guests and also see what products I suggest?Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

"Today's 'pro-Europeans' would be horrified at the suggestion that their idea of Europe had anything to do with whiteness. In fact, many would find the attempt to link the two baffling and outrageous," writes Hans Kundnani in Eurowhiteness: Culture, Empire and Race in the European Project (Oxford UP, 2023). Yet, he does so - taking the reader on a historical journey through the development of European identity from Christendom to the coincidence of the Enlightenment and the development of colonialism to the pan-European movement that grew out of the first world war and peace project (or was it?) that emerged from the second. Not only is pro-Europeanism “analogous to nationalism - something like nationalism but on a larger, continental scale," Kundani argues, but the EU itself has “become a vehicle for imperial amnesia" thereby promoting and privileging “whiteness”. Hans Kundnani is a fellow at the Open Society Foundations Workshop, an associate scholar at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and a visiting scholar at the Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies at The New School for Social Research. From 2018-22, he was a full-time researcher at Chatham House, including as director of the Europe Programme. Before that, he was a researcher at the German Marshall Fund, the Transatlantic Academy, and the European Council on Foreign Relations. In 2014, he published The Paradox of German Power. *The author's own book recommendations are Eurafrica: The Untold History of European Integration and Colonialism by Peo Hansen and Stefan Jonsson (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015) and The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon (Penguin Modern Classics, 2006 - first published in 1956) Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Advisors, who also writes the twenty4two newsletter on Substack and hosts the In The Room podcast series.

In the final message of our "Even Though" series, Pastor Mel draws from 2 Corinthians 6 to explore the paradoxical "yet" statements in Paul's ministry—such as being sorrowful yet always rejoicing, poor yet making many rich, and having nothing yet possessing everything—emphasizing that true Christian hope is the joyful anticipation of good in Christ, even amid hardship, suffering, and misunderstanding. He contrasts the dysfunctional yet beloved Corinthian church's worldly values of wealth, eloquence, and success with Paul's countercultural defense of authentic ministry marked by patient endurance (hypomone), purity, kindness, sincere love, and faithfulness regardless of honor or slander. Mel encourages listeners to find lasting hope not in comfortable circumstances or material blessings, but in God's goodness and sufficiency alone, culminating in a gospel invitation for salvation and an affirmation that genuine joy and purpose are found in surrender to Christ, no matter the trials faced.

You don't have to earn joy. In fact, you can rediscover joy in the chaos of day-to-day living. It is possible to rediscover joy. Finding joy can often feel like a distant dream. Yet, rediscovering joy isn't about achieving constant happiness; it's about embracing a fulfilling life, even amidst chaos. Joy isn't something we need to create, but something to embrace and redefine in our lives. Understanding Joy as Wholeness Joy goes beyond fleeting happiness—it's a deep-seated wholeness. It involves accepting ourselves, in all our emotions, and finding beauty in the everyday. By redefining joy as wholeness, we open up to the possibility of feeling joyful even during challenging times. Rediscover Joy - it becomes a practice. Rediscovering joy is a journey, not a destination. It requires practicing mindfulness and gratitude. Simple pauses throughout your day can cultivate joy. Whether it's the beauty of a sky or the warm embrace of a sunny day, these moments remind us of life's richness.

In this bonus episode of The Black Thread, we zoom in on a single case that distills the Norwegian paradox perfectly: the planned electrification of the gas processing plant on Melkøya. It's a key conflict site where Norway's net zero transformation collides with its fossil fuel industry, Indigenous rights, the youth climate movement, worker safety, and even criticism from the United Nations.

If you're in your late 30s or early 40s and feel like you should be further ahead by now, this episode is for you.In this episode, I speak with John Broadbent about why life can feel disorienting in your late 30s and 40s. When the identities that once defined you stop working, certainty fades, and self-criticism creeps in, it's easy to assume you've failed.This conversation explores why that experience is more common than we admit, what's actually happening beneath the surface, and how to move through this phase without turning on yourself.If you've been feeling behind, stuck, or quietly worried you've missed your window, this episode offers a perspective that may help you see this stage of life very differently.John Broadbent has spent decades working with men navigating identity, purpose, and major life transitions.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction(01:21) Understanding the Midlife Crisis(03:26) John's Personal Story of Failure & Growth(05:28) The Importance of Men's Mental Health(09:48) Challenges in Modern Relationships(22:15) The Role of Technology and Society(32:22) Understanding Midlife Transformation(33:56) The Paradox of Clarity & Pressure(35:41) Internal Family Systems & Self-Dialogue(36:24) Parenthood and Selflessness(37:36) The Lens Through Which We See(38:10) Creating a Non-Judgmental Space(39:52) Reflecting on Life's Sliding Doors(43:41) The Cycle of Violence and Leadership(53:27) The Importance of Inner Work(59:39) Final Thoughts & ReflectionsGet the FREE Move Your Mind Masterclass here:go.nickbracks.com/moveyourmindAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with John:Website: https://realisepotential.com.au/ Hosted on Acast.

According to the German Marshall Fund chair Chris Schroeder, China both goes to bed and wakes up thinking of China rather than America. How does the Washington DC based Schroeder know? Because, unlike almost all Americans, he actually made the effort of visiting China this year and seeing this vast and paradoxical country for himself. “Curiosity has never been more valuable,” Schroeder warns. “If you are not on the ground, you have no sense of nuance. You get caught in a narrative which is much more macro." And that's exactly what the global investor and entrepreneur did. He got on the ground - talked to young Chinese entrepreneurs, traveled on high speed rail, saw an entire car assembled in twenty seconds. Americans might not want to obsess over the China paradox. But they should probably occasionally spare a thought for this remarkable country before going to bed or waking up in the morning.According to German Marshall Fund chair Chris Schroeder, China goes to bed and wakes up thinking about China — not America.

The past year has been a rough one for many Americans as the Trump administration works on what it says is a recovery from the Biden-era policies that drove up the cost of living. And while there has been improvement, especially compared to the peak inflation of 2022, a struggle continues. Recently, we spoke with Carol Roth, a former investment banker, entrepreneur, and author of the book "You Will Own Nothing, about what she calls the “wealth paradox.” Roth discussed what's driving inflation and why consumer spending remains strong despite higher prices. She also offered tips on how to get more out of your money and how to avoid unnecessary costs. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Carol Roth.

Join us for an insightful conversation on the critical state of workplace culture and talent retention with Sean D'Arcy, Chief Solutions Officer at Kahoot!. Based on their latest research, we explore a startling paradox: many leaders are burned out, and nearly half would give up their title to feel engaged at work. This lack of manager engagement creates a difficult environment for the newest generation, with almost two-thirds of managers finding Gen Z to be the hardest group to engage. Sean D'Arcy dives deep into the findings on both leader burnout and Gen Z's unique needs, covering generational tensions and the path forward. He discusses how to leverage tools and strategies, including game-based learning, to inject fun, social connection, and psychological safety back into the workplace, turning meetings into interactive discussions and fostering a culture where all employees can thrive. Three Key Takeaways for Workplace Culture and Talent Retention The Engagement Crisis Starts at the Top: Nearly half of leaders would trade their title just to feel more engaged at work, with a third admitting to feeling burned out. This disengagement at the leadership level makes it difficult to effectively engage and retain employees, highlighting a lack of investment in the training and tools managers need to succeed. Gen Z Needs Foundational Skills and Belonging: Gen Z is the most difficult generation to engage, with two-thirds of managers citing them as the hardest group to motivate. They often feel "out of their depth" regarding basic workplace operating systems (like email etiquette and meeting facilitation) and crave more structured, gamified learning and real-time feedback that mimics their prior educational experiences. Furthermore, they value strong relationships and a sense of belonging/psychological safety, which is essential for talent retention. Interactive Learning and Culture Building are the Solution: A key strategy for improving workplace culture and talent retention is integrating interactive, gamified tools to facilitate social connection and effective communication. By turning one-way presentations into engaging discussions, companies can break the ice, democratize participation, and gather real-time analytics to understand where employees need more support. This shift supports the inclusive, feedback-driven culture that Gen Z, in particular, expects. Get the full report at: https://kahoot.com/business/workplace-engagement-report-2025/
As one of the world's leading causes of death, cancer does not yet have a cure. It is one of the most studied diseases, however, and researchers have been studying every aspect of cancer that they can. What we do know is that cancer is most often caused by abnormal uncontrolled cell division and replication, which can spread to other parts of the body and create tumors. On October 29th, 2025, Nature magazine published a paper researching a paradox regarding cancer that has been around since the 1970s. Peto's Paradox is an observation made by epidemiologist Richard Peto, who noticed that larger animals with more cells were not more susceptible to getting cancer than smaller animals were. This observation was unusual, because it was thought that the more cells an organism has, the more chances that organism's cells have to mutate and become malignant. This paper is studying possible reasons for why this paradox happens. Researchers looked at the cells of Bowhead whales (which can live up to or more than 200 years), and their low incidence rates of cancer. Why don't large animals like whales and elephants get cancer as often as we do? Are they resistant to cancer? Can this lead to scientists finding a cure? Listen in to this conversation between Dr. Jonathan Karp and student producer Kaya Basatemur to find out more!

Believing isn't seeing—it's the doorway to sight. In this powerful finale to the "Kingdom Paradox" series, Pastor Brandon reveals why spiritual blindness grows where certainty replaces humility, and reminds us that Jesus didn't come for those who have it all figured out—He came for the broken, the honest, and those willing to say "Lord, have mercy." From Home Alone 2 to John Newton's Amazing Grace, this Christmas message will challenge you to ask the hard questions: Am I blind because I'm convinced I can see? Am I asking "why" when I should be asking "who"? Whether you've been demanding proof before you trust or ready to believe before you see—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a kingdom principle that will change everything: Faith and belief come first. Clarity, understanding, and revelation follow. Scripture Reference: John 9:35-41 Big Idea: In the kingdom, believing comes before seeing. Jesus cannot heal blindness you refuse to admit. The doorway to sight is not intelligence—it's humility. Key Quote: "The most dangerous place you can be spiritually is not confused—it's convinced that you got it all figured out. Jesus cannot heal blindness you refuse to admit." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why Christmas movies give us hope (unity, restoration, reconciliation) The kingdom principle: believing is seeing (not seeing is believing) Two types of spiritual blindness in John 9 The blind who know they cannot see (honest brokenness attracts heaven) Those who think they see (convinced, closed off, unteachable) Why "why" wants results but "who" brings revelation Who is God to you in this moment? Who is He creating you to be? John Newton's story: from slave trader to Amazing Grace Humility always attracts heaven, need always draws near to God's heart +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

In this episode of SuperPsyched, Dr. Adam Dorsay, a psychologist and podcast host, explores the complex dynamics of love and relationships. Joined by Allison Howe, a seasoned couple therapist, they delve into the challenges couples face in sustaining love and the unconscious ways people sabotage their relationships. They discuss the importance of the psychobiological approach to couple therapy (PACT), created by Dr. Stan Takin, and share actionable insights on improving emotional connections. Key topics include the impact of early attachment and nonverbal communication, the vital role of mutual vulnerability and empathy, and practical strategies like the PEPPR approach to overcome relationship hurdles.

Welcome to "Labor & Delivery Debrief," the podcast where we tackle your toughest questions about childbirth and maternal health. Today, we're diving deep into a fascinating and critical topic sent in by one of our listeners, Sarah. Sarah asks: "Is it possible for a clinical diagnosis of chorioamnionitis to not be confirmed by placental histology? And if so, how is that possible?" This is a fantastic question that touches on the complexities of intrapartum clinical diagnosis of intraamniotic infection (IAI), also commonly known as chorioamnionitis. We'll explore the nuances of clinical versus histological findings, the diagnostic criteria, and why these two assessments don't always perfectly align. Get ready for a detailed discussion that will shed light on this important aspect of obstetric care.1. ACOG CO 712; 2017 (2025)2. Romero R, Pacora P, Kusanovic JP, et al.
