Dr. Judith Joseph is a New York-based psychiatrist, studying happiness. Throughout her life, she's been a high-achiever, graduating from medical school at Columbia and opening her own clinical research institute. She now says she was "pathologically productive" to try to mask feelings of inadequacy. Through her research, and her own experience, Dr. Joseph identified what she refers to as "high-functioning depression". On the outside, she had it all, but she was wrestling with fatigue, poor concentration, and restlessness. In her new book “High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy”, she shares what she's learned with Hoda.

BA Fam we’re back at the Brown Table! It’s been a minute, but the original crew Mandi, Yanely, and Chris are together again and catching up on everything. From West Coast travels and birthday plans to coaching updates and sleep podcast dreams (yes, really), this episode is full of laughs, life, and hard-earned lessons. Mandi shares the behind-the-scenes of launching her new 12-week VIP coaching program and why one-on-one coaching needs more than just one call. We also get real about the job market and how AI is already shifting the game especially for new grads and folks trying to break in. The tea? Relationships matter more than ever. Chris is dreaming up a new show (spoiler: it might put you to sleep—in the best way, and Yanely is out here living her best life… and finally seeing Beyoncé live in her hometown. And of course, we round it all out with a good ol’ Brown Boost / Brown Break—featuring a Pulitzer Prize-winning book and a sobering reminder that hiring bias is still alive and well. What We Talk About: - Life & travel updates (hi, Portland! hey, Hawaii!) - Why Mandi’s shifting back into one-on-one coaching - Coaching horror stories + how to find the right fit - AI’s takeover and what that means for your career - How side projects can keep your creativity flowing - Book recs, Beyoncé, and a big announcement

When you hear the name Jane Seymour, you might think of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman or her unforgettable Bond girl role in Live and Let Die. But behind the Hollywood glamour is a story of quiet courage, resilience, and reinvention. In this episode, Jane opens up about a chapter of her life few know about—when, at the peak of her career, she faced financial devastation and personal betrayal. After her ex-husband lost their money, Jane was on the brink of losing her home and forced to start over. With incredible warmth and candor, she shares how she navigated that darkness, and how choosing to say yes—to new opportunities, to healing, to love—helped her build an entirely new life in her 50s, 60s, and beyond.

Purpose is a factor of life that every man knows will improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, we seem to be in an era when purpose is increasingly abysmal in the lives of too many men. Men in all walks and stages of life are floundering around aimlessly, wondering why they're anxious, depressed, and alone. My guest today, Garrett Unclebach, former Navy SEAL, is a man who is intimately familiar with why and how purpose drives men to step up, take charge of their lives, and succeed. We unpack why a man must look beyond himself, how surrendering in certain circumstances could lead you to an incredible place you've never considered, the power of equanimity and how to cultivate it, why being faithful when you have nothing leads to a life of prosperity and abundance, and how to judge what you should be doing and who you should be doing it with.

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Episode #981 Ever found yourself wondering, “Shouldn't I be further along by now?” You've done the work. You've read the books. Maybe you've even joined a few programs. And yet... there's still something missing. In this episode, I sit down with Arthur Magruniti—one of our lead coaches and a guy who's not just talked about growth, but actually lived it. We have a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to keep growing year after year—without burning out or chasing the next shiny thing. We talk about how most men only think they know what they want—and how the real breakthroughs happen when you realize what you actually need. Whether you're dealing with struggles in your marriage, stuck in your business, or just feeling disconnected from who you really are, there's something in here for you. You'll also hear why so many guys who've already “done the work” keep coming back, and what separates the ones who just consume information from the ones who actually transform. This isn't about perfection or chasing some big life overhaul. It's about getting honest with yourself, taking the next right step, and finding out what's truly possible when you stop trying to figure it all out alone. If you're ready to stop circling the same mountain and finally move forward—this is where you start. Struggling in your marriage? If the stress is piling up and the connection with your wife is fading, I've got something for you. I want to buy you a copy of my book, A Man's Guide to Saving Your Marriage Without Talking About It. No fluff. Just real, proven steps to bring back the love and respect. You cover shipping—I'll cover the book. Ready to see where you're really at? If you're tired of guessing and want a clear snapshot of what's working—and what's not—take the free assessment we mentioned in the episode. It only takes a couple of minutes and gives you instant clarity on where you need to focus.

Relationships show up in every part of our lives—from romance to friendships, from how we handle money to our health. Yet, so often, we get stuck blaming the other person when things get tough. What if the real issue isn't “them” at all?In this episode, I invite you to flip the script: What if the struggles in your relationships are actually about you—about how you relate to yourself? True love isn't something the other person gives you; it's the emotion that you create inside yourself, with the other person simply as the catalyst.You'll discover: — Why the power to transform your relationships lives within you, not “out there” — How chasing love, approval, or control only deepens a sense of lack and insecurity — The surprising role of the “law of relativity” in how we experience connection and contrast — Why every trigger is really about the story you believe about yourself in that moment — How healing your relationship with yourself frees you to create authentic, loving relationshipsThis episode is for anyone ready to stop exhausting themselves trying to control others or circumstances—and instead become the author of their own experience. When you change your inner story, you change everything.If you're ready to stop blaming and start owning your power, this one's for you.–Connect with Deanna:Instagram: @deannaherrinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

381 Rock N Roll Authenticity and living your life in a way that reflects who you are and how you hope to be perceived is something we all strive for, however it can be easy to forget that change and growth is a constant changing cycle, even from moment we are allowed and expected to invent who we are. In this episode Sarah Elkins ruminates on when she joined the rock band she is apart of and how it has helped shape her authentic self as well as how important fun and joy is to the true sense self.    Highlights What is authenticity to you? How do you portray your authentic self? Untangling core values from the actions we believe are authentic. How do you want to be known and remembered for?  There is no permanent state of the self.    Quotes “I was still not rock and roll. I was wearing a persona on stage because it was fun not because it felt like me.” “All that would have been missed if I had decided that my authentic self was not rock and roll.” “What opportunities have you dismissed because they didn't feel authentic?”   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Whether you're renting, buying or renovating, this episode is for you and your happiness…at the place you call home. I chat with Anita Yokota—licensed therapist turned interior designer, whose work blends psychology with interior design to create spaces that truly support you (you might recognize her work from the Drew Barrymore show.) If you've ever felt stuck in the same old routines, drained by cluttered corners, or like your home just isn't lifting you up—this might be why: your environment is running on autopilot, not in sync with your wellbeing. Together, we unpack how home design creates happiness and wellbeing through four mini episodes. This is part 4:  00:17 The Importance of Renewal in Self-Care 03:12 Exploring the Five Senses for Renewal 06:00 Creating Intentional Spaces for Activities 07:55 Evolving Spaces and Personal Growth 08:42 Connecting with Anita and Resources   ✨ Topics in this podcast: Easiest ways to declutter so you FEEL calm at home The 3 neuroscience hacks every home needs How home loops conquer procrastination Why your physical & emotional environments are intertwined Creating healthy boundaries in your home No sledgehammers required—just intention and a few small shifts to make your home feel better than “home.” Share with anyone who you know deserves a more creative space to thrive.

Heather Mitts Feeley is a three-time Olympic gold medalist and former U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team defender, celebrated for her relentless grit, tenacity, and leadership both on and off the field. A University of Florida alum, Heather helped build their soccer program from the ground up and became a national champion. After retiring from soccer, she transformed her athlete’s mindset into motivational speaking and advocacy, inspiring business leaders and championing equity in sports. Today, Heather balances her passion for empowering others with her most cherished role: being a present and loving mom to her three children. Takeaways: Mindset Matters Everywhere: The ‘gold medal mindset’ isn’t just for athletes; Heather shares how the principles of resilience, goal setting, and controlling what you can translate seamlessly into business and life. Surround Yourself with the Right People: Heather emphasizes the importance of curating your inner circle, noting that the company you keep can fuel—or hinder—your growth and dreams. Adversity Builds Strength: From career-altering injuries to personal loss, Heather’s journey reveals that hardship can sharpen your toughness, shape your character, and lead to your greatest moments of triumph. Sound Bites: “You retire from the sport; you don’t retire from being an athlete. The dog mentality is still there.” “We are the sum of the five people that we spend the most time with. That blows my mind, because at one point in my life, my five weren’t great, but now they are amazing.” “Giving yourself permission to imagine a positive outcome—dreaming—doesn’t stop when you grow up, it’s something we need all our lives.” Mick’s Quote: “A great leader knows their team better than their team knows themselves. Meaning you know how they think, you know the right positions to put them in, and you set them up for success by knowing them better than they know themselves.” Connect & Discover Heather: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-mitts-1b50a18/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hmitts2/?hl=en Website: Players for Good FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meditation Transitions in Workplace Wellness In this episode, Jillian and Michael share their journeys from corporate careers to prioritizing meditation and workplace wellness. Jillian, a former publishing company owner, discovered the power of meditation in preventing burnout and made it her mission to teach others. Michael, a healthcare leader turned workplace culture strategist, shifted his focus to addressing burnout at its root. They explore how meditation has become a vital tool for maintaining work-life balance, especially in today's demanding professional landscape. Youth Stress and Chronic Illness Michael and Jillian dive into the rising stress levels among Millennials and Gen Z, discussing how anxiety and chronic stress are manifesting in younger generations. Michael raises concerns about premature aging trends, while Jillian highlights how a “tired but wired” nervous system can lead to panic, paralysis, and long-term health consequences. They emphasize the need for internal solutions—like meditation and self-reflection—over quick external fixes. Jillian also notes the growing prevalence of chronic illnesses among young people, a trend that could impact overall life expectancy. Openness to Change and Personal Growth Change is inevitable, but embracing it is a choice. Jillian discusses the importance of recognizing when we're ready for transformation, while Michael highlights self-reflection as a key driver of personal growth. He stresses that we have more control over our circumstances than we often believe. Together, they reinforce the idea that prioritizing personal well-being isn't selfish—it positively impacts everyone around us. Growth and change, they agree, are essential for both individual fulfillment and societal progress. Meditation as a Daily Reset Tool Jillian introduces her book Do Reset, which redefines meditation as a practical daily reset rather than a complex practice. She dispels the myth that meditation is about silencing thoughts, explaining instead how it trains the mind for better resilience, focus, and decision-making. Michael shares his own experiences with meditation, underscoring the importance of embracing thoughts rather than resisting them. They agree that small, consistent resets throughout the day can create a profound impact on overall well-being. Jillian's Meditation Center Work Michael and Jillian also discuss Jillian's work at the London and New York Meditation Centers. For those interested in learning more, Jillian encourages listeners to visit the centers' websites.

Episode 3601: Kristine Klussman explores how anger often masks deeper emotional pain and disconnection from the self, and how practicing self-compassion can dissolve that anger to reveal healing insights. By recognizing anger as a surface-level defense, we gain access to the more vulnerable truths beneath and ultimately foster deeper emotional clarity and inner peace. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.kristineklussman.com/how-to-practice-self-compassion-through-anger/ Quotes to ponder: "Anger is a defensive emotion, used to inflate our egos, make us feel powerful, and defend against the more vulnerable, tender feelings underneath." "Usually, once you reconnect and regain closeness with yourself, you also experience nearly instantaneous relief from the pain of the anger." "To practice self-compassion, we must humble ourselves enough to admit that underneath all our powerful arguments against the thing that's enraged us, we are actually deeply disappointed, sad, heartbroken, grieving, terrified, or in some other vulnerable state."
