Trauma isn't just something that happens to us—it can shape how our nervous system responds to the world for years. In this conversation, Dr. Lorne Brown sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Arielle Schwartz to explore how trauma, the nervous system, and the vagus nerve influence everything from burnout and anxiety to chronic illness, relationships, and overall wellbeing.Together, they discuss polyvagal theory, why many people experience a "wake-up call" in midlife, how the body stores unresolved experiences, and practical ways to restore resilience through body-based healing, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation.Key Takeaways:Trauma is stored in both the body and the nervous system—not just in memory.Healing requires both top-down (mind) and bottom-up (body) approaches.A healthy nervous system is flexible, not permanently stuck in stress or shutdown.Midlife often exposes unresolved patterns that have been hidden for decades.Self-awareness, self-compassion, and body-based practices help restore resilience and coherence.Where to find Dr. Arielle Schwartz:Website: https://drarielleschwartz.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arielleschwartzboulderFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drarielleschwartzYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5LUxnXbReV7I5cEzvb46sQBook: https://drarielleschwartz.com/books-by-dr-schwartz/Blog: https://drarielleschwartz.com/blog/ Podcast: https://drarielleschwartz.com/podcast-appearances/ Dr. Arielle Schwartz's Bio:Renowned speaker, author, and esteemed clinical psychologist, Dr. Arielle Schwartz has been widely recognized for her research and clinical advancements in trauma treatment, which have shaped the landscape of trauma recovery and elevated the standard of care all across therapeutic settings.Dr. Schwartz promotes a strength-based, embodied approach to trauma recovery that emphasizes self-driven healing to facilitate post-traumatic growth. Drawing on the principles of EMDR, somatic psychology, mindfulness-based therapies, and relational psychotherapy, she developed Resilience Informed Therapy—an integrative model of care for facilitating recovery from childhood trauma, PTSD, complex-PTSD and Dissociation.Dr. Schwartz has been teaching therapeutic yoga since 2008, and she is the author of Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery, a widely referenced guide to applied Polyvagal Theory for trauma recovery. She has also authored numerous books covering extensive research and guiding techniques in trauma treatment.
In this episode, we explore the sharp decline in traditional social venues like bars, theaters, and golf courses, and how the loss of these “third places” is fueling a loneliness epidemic. Drawing on recent data and psychological research, we unpack why fewer in-person gatherings are harming mental health and community bonds. Listeners will gain practical insights on rebuilding connections in a screen-dominated world.

If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 160) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 160: Why Black Men Keep Surviving Instead of Thriving with Dr. Alfiee" — it was released on July 6, 2026.In XYBM 160, we sit down with Dr. Alfiee, researcher, author, and nonprofit leader behind the Aakoma Project — one of the most comprehensive mental health research organizations focused on youth and young adults of color in the country. With over 30 years in the field, Dr. Alfie challenges the stereotypes baked into mainstream mental health research, breaks down what the data actually says about Black men across socioeconomic lines, and delivers a masterclass on the difference between surviving and thriving. She introduces the Mosaic of Me identity framework from her book Rise and Thrive, gets real about compensation, self-worth, and what it means to know your value as a Black man, and shares her own personal history with depression — twice — including the story of public humiliation that followed her for eight years and the mindfulness practice that finally helped her heal.Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.Leave a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if you found value in this episode or a previous episode!BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

What if the most transformative experiences of your life — crisis, loss, near-death — aren't things that happen TO you… But things that can permanently wake you UP? My guest today has spent two decades collecting the evidence. He's a psychology lecturer, a bestselling author in over 20 languages, and someone Eckhart Tolle called a vital voice for the shift in human consciousness. Today we're going into the psychology of awakening, why he believes the ego isn't your true self but an evolutionary accident — and why he thinks the Beatles were tapping into something most of us never access. Stay with me — this one will change how you see your own mind.

Most of us have been told, at some point or another, to just be happy. Just let it go. Just choose joy. And if you've tried that and found it completely unhelpful, you are in very good company. Dr. Peggy DeLong is back on the podcast for her third visit, and what she shares in this episode about how to increase your capacity for happiness is not what most people are teaching. It's not about ignoring what's hard. It's not about thinking positively until the feeling kicks in. And it has nothing to do with luck or your current circumstances. Peggy discovered the power of gratitude while sitting by her fiancé's side as he was dying from an aggressive cancer. She was 26. She didn't push the grief away. She felt it — and that turned out to be the beginning of everything she now teaches. If you've ever been told to just cheer up and wanted to throw something, this one is for you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why pushing emotional pain aside actually makes it harder to access real happiness — and what to do instead How your capacity for joy is in direct proportion to your capacity to feel pain What collective effervescence is and why it matters more than we think How human connection with complete strangers predicts happiness just as much as our closest relationships What the three Ps — present, pleasure, and purpose — have to do with breaking the high-achieving cycle Peggy's four Ps for building positive mental health: prioritize, plan, practice, prosper DR.

Hope isn't just a feeling — it's a practice you can build. Psychologist and author Dr. Julia Garcia (The 5 Habits of Hope) joins Vicki Davis to redefine hope as something educators can practice, even in the hardest seasons. Recorded shortly after Vicki lost her father, this is an honest, encouraging conversation about hopelessness, grief, and the small habits that help us hold on to hope. In this episode, you'll learn: Why we experience hope as a feeling — and how to practice it instead The habit of reflection: pausing long enough to connect with something real The habit of receiving: learning to name and accept support How to reshape the thought patterns that keep us stuck How to keep teaching and creating through grief Full show notes and transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e944 If this episode encouraged you, share it with a teacher friend who needs a little hope today.
Dr. Jason Scott Hamilton has spent his career inside the minds of the Jamaican athletics team and NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. In this episode, he breaks down the real difference between people who perform under pressure and people who fold. It starts with a part of your brain most people have never heard of, one that only grows stronger when you do the things you don't want to do. Dr. Hamilton explains why the highest performers deliberately seek out what they hate, and why avoiding it is quietly costing you. Then there's the smile. Champions aren't fearless. They get nervous like everyone else. What they do with it is different, and it's one of the most underused tools for staying in control when everything is falling apart. You'll also hear what really built Shaquille O'Neal's empire, and it had nothing to do with fitting into anyone else's plan for him. If you've ever felt like your business is a mirror of exactly where you are as a person, this conversation will show you why, and what to do about it. In this episode: The brain science behind grit, and why avoiding hard tasks is quietly costing you The mental skill behind staying composed under pressure What really drove Shaquille O'Neal's success as a businessman Why your business reflects the person leading it How the highest performers handle setbacks differently When you're ready to fast track your results, here's 2 ways I can help: This month's intake for The Odyssey is now open.

Dr. Rosy Boa hosts an episode of Science of Slink on neurodivergence and pole with neurodivergent psychologist and pole dancer Gabby Desmond. They define neurodivergence as a broad umbrella beyond autism and ADHD (including OCD, BPD, and learning disabilities like dyslexia) and discuss why neurodivergent people may be drawn to pole for its structure, predictability, community “parallel play,” and endless achievable challenges. They explore sensory processing and regulation through spinning, inversion, and aerial hammock, plus differences in interoception and pain that can affect conditioning, stretching, and injury risk. The conversation covers learning preferences (visual vs verbal cues), difficulties with right/left and choreography, managing ADHD/autistic boom-bust training cycles, focusing on core vocabulary over trick inflation, and using external cues and varied feedback to support motor learning.

The voice in your head has been talking since before you finished this sentence. For most leaders it is the least managed instrument they own, and the most consequential.Ethan Kross is the psychologist and author who has spent over two decades studying that inner voice. He directs the Emotion & Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan, advises Fortune 500 leaders and Navy SEALs, and wrote the international bestsellers Chatter and Shift. He also discovered his single most-cited tool by using it on himself, at 3am, mid-spiral, when he caught himself typing "bodyguards for academics" into a search bar and said out loud: "Ethan, what are you doing?"I came to this conversation with my own history with that voice. I spent my career in high-pressure rooms where the most important conversation was often the one running inside my own head, and nobody ever handed me the manual for it. Ethan has spent twenty-five years writing that manual, and he makes it practical: self-talk you can actually change, anxiety you can read instead of fear, emotions that become information. And as a new grandfather, I did not expect a conversation about the brain to end up teaching me so much about grace.In our conversation, we explore:→ Why your emotions are information to read, not problems to delete, and what changes the moment you believe that→ Distanced self-talk: how the simple shift of using your own name reroutes the way your brain handles pressure→ Why self-awareness is only step one, and the mental tools that have to follow it→ The business case for mental fitness: how unmanaged emotion quietly consumes the attention your organisation is paying for→ How a leader gives hard feedback from a secure base, and why leadership falters when we shy away from it"This brain over here does not come with a user's manual." Ethan Kross, psychologist and authorIf you have ever read to the end of a page and realised you absorbed none of it because your mind was somewhere else, this episode hands you the beginning of that missing manual.RELATED EPISODESPete Carroll, Seattle Seahawks head coach (2021), Learning to "always compete": https://www.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/9268299Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer of Google X (2021), Engineering happiness for yourself and others: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/8944613Dr Caroline Leaf, neuroscientist (2024), Managing your mind: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1798971/episodes/15018482New here?

In this episode, Buck sits down with Dr. Anastasia Stewart, an Orthodox Christian psychologist and trauma specialist, to explore the relationship between modern psychology and the healing tradition of the Orthodox Church. Together they discuss where psychology contains genuine insights—and where it falls short without Christ. Drawing on decades of experience treating trauma, PTSD, women's mental health, and veterans, Dr. Stewart explains why empathy without truth can become enabling, why validation isn't always loving, and why genuine healing requires both compassion and repentance. The conversation explores the limits of therapeutic culture, the role of clergy and clinicians in caring for the whole person, spiritual warfare, trauma, externalizing responsibility, and the Orthodox understanding of becoming whole through Christ. Whether you're a clinician, a priest, or simply someone seeking healing, this conversation offers a thoughtful and deeply Orthodox vision of the human person and the path toward true restoration. Topics include: * Orthodoxy and modern psychology * Why validation isn't always love * Trauma, PTSD, and the healing of the soul * The limits of secular therapy * Spiritual warfare and psychological suffering * The role of clergy and clinicians About Dr. Anastasia Stewart Dr. Anastasia Stewart is an Orthodox Christian psychologist specializing in trauma, PTSD, women's mental health, and evidence-based clinical treatment. She earned dual bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Communication Studies from UCLA before completing her Ph.D. in Psychology at Washington State University. Her clinical training includes Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in collaboration with the National Center for PTSD. During her career with the VA, she helped develop one of the nation's early Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) programs, became the first psychologist embedded in a Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program, and developed an interprofessional postdoctoral fellowship program. She later founded Triangle Services Consulting, where she continues her clinical work, consultation, and professional mentoring while pioneering an approach that thoughtfully integrates Orthodox Christian anthropology with contemporary psychological practice.

The Psychology of Self-Injury: Exploring Self-Harm & Mental Health
What goes on at the neurobiological level that makes someone more vulnerable to self-injure or self-harm? What biological risk factors are at play? What roles do the vagus nerve, cortisol levels, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have? We hope to discuss the psychology of self-injury pain in a future episode, but in this episode, Dr. Michael Kaess from the University of Bern in Switzerland explains the neurobiology of self-injury in simple terms, or what we hope can be considered simple layman's terms. Learn more about Dr. Kaess and his research team at the Universitäre Psychiatrische Dienste (UPD) in Bern here. To participate in Dr. Kaess' research study of an online intervention for self-injury (in German), visit the STAR (Self-injury Treatment Assessment Recovery) Project at https://star-projekt.de/.

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: Anyone navigating grief, trauma, divorce, childhood loss, PTSD, depression, emotional healing, or non-death grief experiences that still carry lasting pain.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: A powerful conversation about grief beyond death, childhood trauma, emotional validation, mental health, resilience, healing after divorce, and how loss can shape the course of an entire life.DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gregory T. Obert spends his career helping people work through trauma, PTSD, depression, grief, and emotional pain, but long before becoming a psychologist, he was a teenager struggling through the collapse of his parents' marriage and the loss of the life he thought he knew. In this deeply personal conversation with Nick, Dr. Greg shares how childhood grief, depression, and emotional isolation shaped his future. He discusses the often-overlooked grief that accompanies divorce, family dysfunction, autism within families, and the loss of expected relationships. Together, Nick and Dr. Greg explore why society struggles to recognize non-death grief and how trauma extends far beyond the experiences most people associate with PTSD. They examine the importance of emotional validation, the damage caused when children's feelings are dismissed, and the role supportive adults can play in healing. Dr. Greg also reflects on the therapist who changed his life, the mentor who helped shape his future, and the experiences that ultimately led him into psychology. This episode is an honest, insightful exploration of grief, trauma, resilience, mental health, and the healing power of being truly seen and heard.This episode answers: Can divorce cause grief and trauma even when nobody dies? How does childhood grief affect mental health later in life? What is the difference between trauma and PTSD? Why do people dismiss non-death grief experiences? How can therapy help someone process grief, loss, and emotional pain? Key Takeaways: Grief is not limited to death and can emerge from divorce, family changes, lost relationships, and disrupted expectations. Children often recognize emotional problems long before adults realize they do. Emotional validation can be life-changing for someone struggling with grief or trauma. Trauma exists on a spectrum and does not always meet the criteria for PTSD. Healing often begins when people stop minimizing their pain and allow themselves to address it honestly.DR.

In honor of Black Music Month, Dr. Joy sits down with two women who experienced twenty years of Black music from opposite sides of the industry. Shanti Das spent over 25 years as a marketing executive at labels like LaFace and Universal Motown, working with artists from OutKast to Prince, before founding the mental health nonprofit Silence the Shame. Ivie Ani came of age alongside the music itself — a Bronx-raised teenager replaying The Beyoncé Experience on YouTube who grew into an award-winning journalist covering music and culture for The New York Times, Pitchfork, Okayplayer, and beyond. Together they trace the road from new music Tuesdays and 106 & Park to streaming, playlist culture, and fan communities millions deep. They revisit the albums that defined two eras — B'Day, In My Mind, Lemonade, Anti — and consider why 2016 feels like the last time we all listened together. The conversation turns to what emotional transparency costs Black women artists, how Rihanna became the blueprint for a new kind of superstar, and why the future of Black music may be taking shape in Lagos and Johannesburg as much as Atlanta and New York.

Can a TV show deepen your relationship with God? The Chosen has become one of the most influential Christian media projects in history, reaching nearly a billion viewers worldwide and bringing the stories of Jesus and his disciples to life for a new generation. But why has it resonated so deeply with so many people? Is it simply great storytelling, or is something more profound happening beneath the surface? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with psychologist and Biola University professor Dr. Liz Hall, contributor to Watching The Chosen: History, Faith, and Interpretation. Together, they explore the psychological and spiritual impact of The Chosen, why viewers often feel such a strong emotional connection to its characters, and how the series may help people experience a deeper sense of intimacy with God. Dr. Hall explains how The Chosen can shape the way viewers understand Jesus, faith, and themselves. At the same time, she addresses important questions about the potential risks of emotional engagement, the role of theology, and how Christians can benefit from the series while remaining grounded in the truth of Scripture. Whether you're a devoted fan of The Chosen, a skeptic, or simply curious about the intersection of psychology and faith, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how stories can shape the human heart and point us toward Christ.

Today's episode is for anyone who has ever come home from a trip feeling subtly or not so subtly changed. My guest today is Dr. Michael F. Steger, Professor of Psychology and founding director of the Center for Meaning and Purpose at Colorado State University. Mike has published over 150 scholarly articles and created two of the most widely used measures of meaning in the world, and somehow makes all of it feel like a conversation you'd want to have over dinner. We unpack what meaning actually is significance, coherence, and purpose and then bring it straight into travel. Why do unfamiliar places sometimes make us feel more like ourselves?

When you think about the Black American experience, soul food is interwoven throughout its fabric. It carries stories and traditions across generations, and marks memories shared with people you love. And through the years, its definition has evolved and even been misunderstood by those who don’t understand its significance. Today, we’re unpacking all of that with Sierra Reece. Sierra is a culinary creator and entrepreneur focused on Black American foodways, soul food, and African diaspora cuisine. We talked about what soul food really means, how she balances tradition with experimentation, and why food can be such a powerful tool for preserving culture and identity.

During our conversation, Toni shares what it’s been like navigating visibility online, how she protects her mental health while working in such a public-facing industry, and why rest has become such an important part of her creative process. We also discuss representation in the beauty industry, the importance of darker-skinned creators being able to take up space online, and how Toni has learned to trust herself creatively as her career continues to grow. She also opens up about burnout, boundaries with social media, mindfulness practices, and the realities of building a career where work and play can sometimes feel impossible to separate.

Old creepy houses are a horror cliche, but why? Why do they freak us out? According to new research, it might have something to do with infrasound: a sound that's below the range of human hearing, potentially emitted by low-rumbling pipes or old boilers more common in older houses. Psychologist and pseudoscience researcher Rodney Schmaltz explains his new study, and what role infrasound could play in leading people to feel unsettled in “haunted” places. Then, infrasound researcher Milton Garcés breaks down the infrasound that's produced by volcanoes and asteroid impacts, and how it serves as a “keep away” signal in nature. Guests: Dr. Rodney Schmaltz is a professor of psychology at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta. Dr. Milton Garcés is a research scientist at the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology and director of the Infrasound Laboratory at the University of Hawai'i in Honolulu.

When was the last time you really thought about your colon health? For many of us, conversations about digestion, gut health, and colorectal cancer can feel uncomfortable or easy to put off—but the reality is that colorectal cancer rates are rising among younger adults, and Black communities continue to face significant disparities when it comes to diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Today, I’m joined by gastroenterologist and health advocate, Dr. Sophia Balzora, to talk about what we all need to know about colon health. Dr. Balzora helps break down what the colon actually does, the warning signs we shouldn’t ignore, and why early screenings can be lifesaving. We also discuss the unique ways colorectal cancer impacts Black women, how stress and diet can affect gut health, and the importance of advocating for yourself in medical spaces when something doesn’t feel right.
