Podcasts about psychologists

Send us a textSome weeks stretch forever, and some feel like three at once.  Instead of forcing old routines, we choose the pivot: trading six-mile runs for rock climbing, swapping comparison for curiosity, and learning to measure progress by small, honest wins that actually sustain motivation.Small wins become deposits in a self-worth bank—non-scale victories, a clean problem explanation in a meeting, or a compliment so unexpected it lights your whole day. Yes, even being mistaken for your son's sister at brunch can be a tiny miracle.We also talk candidly about Botox, identity, and why a subtle change isn't about chasing youth but about finding a little confidence. Throughout, we return to a simple practice: notice what you can influence, celebrate the micro-moments, and offer others a win when you can. If you've been navigating fatigue, perimenopause, recovery, or just a season that won't let up, this one's a hand on your shoulder and a map for the next foothold.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs a small win today, subscribe for more honest midlife and mental health conversations, and leave a review telling us your latest tiny victory—we'd love to cheer you on.Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

When a 30(b)(6) representative is deposed, the testimony is that of the organization, not of the individual answering the questions. However, in the heat of battle, it can be challenging to remember this distinction. Questions in 30(b)(6) depos that use words like "you" - and answers that use words like "I" or "me" - can blur the roles and lead an examiner to see the testimony as also being that of the witness individually. But it isn't. Psychologists refer to this confusion as an "attribution error," meaning that we may attribute the testimony to the wrong source.This confusion can be fatal to a claim if the representative is also a key witness individually and wasn't deposed separately. Today, Jim discusses a brand new court ruling where a federal judge dismissed a claim against an individual defendant (and key witness) who was only deposed as a 30(b)(6) deponent. The question there was, when a 30(b)(6) witness says “I,” who's really speaking—the individual or the entity? Learn how that 30(b)(6) deposition in Ademi wasn't enough to survive summary judgment, and what every litigator must do to avoid the same trap.

FCA US LLC, 2021 WL 2142655, No. 19-2724 (D. Kan. May 26, 2021) (lawyers may object to topics as “outside the scope” of that listed on the 30(b)(6) notice, and such objections have been held to be permissible, but the witness “must nevertheless answer the question because Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b) - not the deposition notice defines the scope of discovery”).

Chances are that when most of us think about the notion of crime our minds turn to acts committed against an individual – be it theft, fraud or even physical assault. But every day ecological crimes are committed against the planet we all live on that often fly under the radar despite the significant, far-reaching effects they have on all of us. In this episode, we're joined by criminal psychologist and bestselling author, Dr Julia Shaw to talk about her latest book, Green Crime – Inside the Minds of the People Destroying the Planet, and How to Stop Them. She breaks down the factors that drive individuals and organisations to commit acts that are damaging to the environment and explains how understanding the psychology that underpins these acts can help us to keep our planet healthy for generations to come.

We've talked about eco-anxiety before on Do You Really Know, and it's real. A survey published in the Lancet in December 2021 found that 75% of young people thought the future was frightening. But others are preaching a more positive outlook, with cautious climate optimism looking set to be a trend in 2023. While our fears around the climate crisis are justified and useful, if they paralyse us out of doing anything, those feelings of hopelessness are inevitable. Psychologists call it “learned helplessness”. What cause is there for optimism? What are the arguments against climate optimism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Psychologists warn that the use of tracking apps like Life360 and FindMyPhone can normalise constant monitoring, which may start in families but spill into intimate partner relationships, potentially leading to controlling and coercive behaviours. But how do we know if tracking those we love is beneficial or problematic? And if it's the latter, how do we address it?

You know, when you talk to people about mental health, you'll hear all kinds of takes about psychologists. Some folks absolutely swear by therapy and counselling, while others are more hesitant or even sceptical, maybe because of a bad experience or just different beliefs. It's only natural—everyone's got their own story and background that shape how they see mental health support.Let me share where I'm coming from. I hear people say psychologists get it wrong, that they misdiagnose, or just don't get what you're going through. I really do get those concerns. But at the end of the day, what matters to me is what actually works—the real-life evidence, you know?From my own experience, going to see a psychologist was the best step I could have taken. Honestly, I owe so much to two incredible psychologists who helped me turn things around. Without them, I'm not sure where I'd be today.Funny enough, the people who helped me in the end weren't the ones I was sent to first. When I got injured, I got referred to psychologists who'd spent decades working with veterans. Because my case was labelled PTSD, I guess they figured I'd fit right in. But since I wasn't a veteran, it just didn't click—they didn't really relate to what I was dealing with. That experience taught me something important: finding the right mental health professional, someone who really gets you, makes all the difference.SUPPORT US NOW.

Popular culture has two competing narratives about manhood. Charlie Kirk rejected both of them and set an example that young men should follow. The dominant view is that masculinity is toxic. In 2018, the American Psychological Association issued guidelines declaring that “traditional masculinity ideology” limits “males' psychological development.” It also has negative influences on mental and physical health, APA claimed. Masculinity ideology includes “anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence,” according to the guidelines. The first APA guideline states, “Psychologists strive to recognize that masculinities are constructed based on social, cultural, and contextual norms.”...Article Link

You've probably heard of PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. But what about its counterpart, post-traumatic growth?The term was coined in the 90s to describe the positive psychological growth that researchers documented in people who had been through traumatic or highly stressful life events. Psychologists and sociologists conducting long-range studies on survivors of Hurricane Katrina – which hit 20 years ago and remains one of the most devastating natural disasters to hit the US – are continuing to learn more about it. So how do you measure post-traumatic growth? Can it co-exist with PTSD? NPR mental health correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee explains what scientists have found so far … and how it could help shape disaster relief efforts in the future.Interested in more psychology and social science stories?

Accurate diagnosis results in accurate treatment. When we figure out how we have learned certain reactions it becomes easier for us to unlearn them. I spoke to a client of mine recently. She lives on a small- holding with lots of rescue dogs and various kinds of animals. This is someone who's not afraid of animals in general, however she shared with us a story about how she's afraid of frogs. She described how her father used to taunt her as a little girl using frogs. The result of this is that she has a phobia when it comes to frogs. Apparently, her husband now does the same thing to her. The good thing is she's able to explain it and I believe this is one of the keys to her overcoming this phobia. Ladies and gentlemen, it's very powerful when you are able to trace the roots of your anxiety. Academic research identifies multiple, interacting sources of anxiety, showing that it can arise from both early experiences and biological predispositions. Anxiety is not a modern invention. It is as old as the human heart. Psychologists and medical researchers tell us that anxiety rarely comes from just one place—it's like a river fed by many streams. This is an important point because there's something about us as human beings that loves to identify one thing as the root issue that causes something else; often it's a bit more complex. Childhood adversity, trauma, genetic vulnerability, even the anger we bury deep inside can all feed that river. Studies show that family conflict, neglect, and ongoing stress can shape a child's brain so that the world feels unsafe. Scientists have even discovered that patterns of stress can be passed down through our DNA. Therefore, when you are counselling people or trying to figure out things about yourself, rather ask questions like, “what are the ingredients that have contributed to my current anxious state?” In this message I will also show you how Scripture has been naming these sources for centuries.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're talking about searching for fulfillment and discovering true satisfaction. Have you ever felt like you were on a constant quest for “the next thing”—a new job, a new relationship, a new milestone—believing that once you achieved it, you'd finally feel complete? It's a familiar cycle: the anticipation, the accomplishment, and then the quiet realization that the longing is still there. What if the reason we keep searching isn't because we're broken, but because our hearts are tuned to look for something deeper than surface-level success? We live in a world that applauds striving and achievement. “What's next?” becomes the refrain, as though staying in motion ensures meaning. But that chase often leaves us restless. Sometimes it feels like chasing the horizon—you can see it, but the closer you get, the more it moves. In that gap between what we hoped to feel and what we actually feel, questions begin to bubble up: Why isn't this enough? What am I really searching for? That's where things get interesting. Many people turn to psychology, self-help, and personal development for answers—and those tools can be incredibly valuable. But what if part of the search is overlooked? For some, fulfillment is found not just in doing more or having more, but in cultivating something bigger—a relationship, a connection, a sense of being supported by more than ourselves. Some call that spirituality, some call it faith, some simply call it purpose. Wherever you land, today we're going to explore how satisfaction may come not only from what you achieve, but from who and what you invite into your search. When we talk about fulfillment, satisfaction, and purpose, the words can sound interchangeable, but they carry different weights. Fulfillment is that deeper sense of wholeness, like your life has substance and meaning beyond the day-to-day. Satisfaction is more about contentment with your circumstances—feeling that what you have is enough, at least for the moment. And purpose is the guiding direction that pulls you forward, often tied to your values, your passions, and how you contribute to the world. Together, these elements form the framework most of us are chasing, whether consciously or not. Psychologists often make a distinction between the search for meaning and the presence of meaning. The search is the active, restless phase—when you're hungry for clarity, digging for something that explains or validates your existence. The presence of meaning is the experience of already having it—living in alignment with your values and feeling that your life matters. Interestingly, research shows that people who feel they are actively searching tend to report lower well-being than those who feel they already have meaning. That doesn't mean the search is bad; it simply highlights the emotional toll of always chasing but never landing. Now here's where it gets tricky. Many of us stop at the surface—looking to career achievements, personal milestones, or material comforts as the ultimate answer. And while those things can absolutely add joy and motivation, they rarely deliver lasting satisfaction on their own. What often goes overlooked is the spiritual dimension: the idea that fulfillment is tied to something bigger than ourselves. For some, that “something bigger” is community, legacy, or contribution. For others, it's a relationship with God. Too often, spirituality is dismissed as something you have to give up your worldly joys to experience, when in reality, it can be the piece that helps everything else fall into place. Seven Ways to Bring More Meaning to Your Life. Chasing a Richer, Fuller Level of Happiness. CHALLENGE: Pause your constant search long enough to ask yourself what you're really longing for—beyond the next milestone or accomplishment. Take one small step this week, whether that's aligning with your values, connecting with someone who matters, or even opening the door to a conversation with God, to move from restless striving toward true satisfaction. I Know YOU Can Do It!

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – So where does hatred come from? Psychologists point to fear, insecurity, and the need for belonging. Sociologists highlight systems of inequality, propaganda, and cultural conditioning. Survivors speak of betrayal, trauma, and pain. Hatred rarely arrives alone—it's often the shadow of something deeper: a wound, a loss, a lie...

It's one thing to be busy and another to be productive – and most of us are far better at the first than the second. The reality is that architects live in a world of deadlines, meetings, and endless to-do lists, but somehow there's always time to check Instagram, rearrange your desktop icons, or spend twenty minutes deciding which playlist will help you focus before actually doing the work. Procrastination has a way of disguising itself as “just five more minutes” until suddenly tomorrow is looking a lot worse than today. This week, Andrew and I are taking a closer look at procrastination – why it happens, how it disrupts even the best-laid plans, and what you can actually do to keep it from derailing your work. Welcome to Episode 185: Procrastination: Today's Problems Tomorrow.  [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  The Struggle is Real jump to 4:09 Procrastination is not about a lack of discipline or effort, it is more like a default response that shows up once the to-do list starts outpacing the hours in the day. Think of it as that urge to tidy up your inbox, check social media one more time, or find anything else to do besides the one task that really matters. It is less about bad intent and more about a short-term survival instinct. I would not describe myself as someone who avoids work, but I can admit there are times when I put things off until there is no other choice, and I suspect that puts me in the same company as most people reading this. There is research that connects personality traits with procrastination, and some of it feels uncomfortably familiar when applied to architects. People who score high in conscientiousness usually do well in professional settings, but that same trait often brings with it a strong tendency toward perfectionism. When you are wired to want things done at a very high level, it can be easy to delay getting started until you believe conditions are “just right.” The irony is that the higher the standard, the harder it becomes to begin, and procrastination finds a perfect opening. Other personality studies using Myers-Briggs categories found that INTP (Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, Perception) types were among the highest procrastinators. Those individuals tend to be analytical, independent, and comfortable living in their heads, which can be useful qualities for architects, but those same strengths can also create a pattern of putting things off. When you are wired to keep analyzing and refining your ideas, starting the work can feel less urgent than thinking about it just a little longer. There is another angle to consider, which is that procrastination can actually act as a coping mechanism. Psychologists describe it as a form of avoidance, but not always in a destructive sense. Putting something off can create short-term relief, and that breathing space can sometimes be what allows a person to function in the moment. The problem is that the stress does not go away, it simply accumulates and grows heavier with time. For some people, that mounting pressure even becomes the fuel they rely on to finally act, which is why procrastination is not only common but oddly effective for those who claim they “work best under pressure.” Architects are Busy jump to 16:03 a look at my weekly calendar for the time we recorded today's podcast episode Procrastination is not always about laziness, and more often than not it shows up as the result of overload. Nobody in this profession plans to avoid their responsibilities, but when the day fills up with meetings, deadlines, and emails, something is going to slip. That delay might look small in the moment, like moving one task to tomorrow's list, but it still qualifies as procrastination. It is not intentional avoidance, it is triage, and triage always comes with consequences. Architects are especially vulnerable to this because so much of our time is spent in coordination mode,...

Send us a textEmotional triggers—or as we've come to reframe them, "emotional traps"—are those experiences that send us spiraling into strong reactions that we sometimes regret. We're diving deep into understanding these patterns and how to respond more effectively when they arise.The term "triggered" has become diluted in everyday language. Originally a clinical term associated with PTSD, it's now used casually in ways that sometimes diminish genuine trauma responses. This doesn't mean our emotional reactions aren't valid—they absolutely are—but framing them as "traps" helps distinguish everyday emotional responses while still honoring their significance.What makes these emotional traps particularly challenging is that we often set them ourselves. Maybe you become reactive when important conversations are avoided or when action plans aren't followed through. Perhaps you spiral when situations make you feel that you're "not enough"—that fundamental human fear that drives so much of our behavior. During midlife, particularly through perimenopause, these physical and emotional factors can be amplified, creating what feels like a constant state of emotional volatility.The ultimate goal isn't to eliminate emotional traps entirely—that's not possible as humans. It's to develop awareness of our patterns and prepare thoughtful responses instead of knee-jerk reactions. Join us as we explore this daily work of emotional regulation that builds resilience and ultimately leads to more fulfilling relationships throughout midlife and beyond.Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

In this Spirit-led teaching, Dr. Leelo Bush unpacks the idea of thought conflict—what psychologists call cognitive dissonance—and shows how believers can resolve it through God's truth. By contrasting worldly pressures (like secular accreditation) with biblical principles, she guides listeners to embrace God's way without hesitation.

If you're a Christian, you know God's Word is clear that we should build on truth, not compromise. Second Corinthians 6:14 tells us, do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers than what we allow into our hearts and minds during training. Yet at the same time, the world shouts loudly about accreditation from secular organizations, and many people feel torn. On one side, we want to follow God's truth. On the other, we're afraid we'll miss out if we don't follow what the world says is important. That back and forth can create so much thought conflict that some people even give up before they start, simply because they're not 100% sure what the right choice is. This is just one example of thought conflict, and there are many others. Resolving them is today's topic. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Leelo Bush. I'm a master coach, author, curriculum creator and the number one authority on Spirit-led Christian coaching. I've trained tens of thousands worldwide since 2003, and if you are ready to uplevel your skills, find greater fulfillment, and employ the most powerful coaching available to mankind, let's go. I'm Dr. Leelo Bush, and you're listening to the Christian Coaching School podcast, where we talk about Spirit-led coaching tools for transformation, and how to live and lead with joy and purpose. And before we go further, I would love to invite you to leave a review of this podcast. When you do, you'll be entered into our new listener drawing. I'll be announcing winners right here on the podcast, and you could win a gift card just for sharing your feedback. So let's dig into this idea of thought conflict. Psychologists call it cognitive dissonance, but I prefer to put it in plain language. It's when two opposing thoughts collide inside your head and create discomfort. One part of you says this is the right way. The other part says, no, that's too risky, stay where you are. It's like being pulled in two directions at once. And doesn't that sound exactly like what James wrote about in chapter 1, verse 8? A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Here's the key, though. When we pick God's way, even if it doesn't agree with the world, it's often a test. God uses these moments to see if we are ready for promotion, or ready for the next level of responsibility in His kingdom. If we choose wrong, if we keep wavering, we often find ourselves circling around that same mountain again, repeating the same lesson until we finally learn to say yes to Him. And thought conflict makes this hard because it feels like a battle inside your mind. But friend, the truth is that battle is the very evidence that growth is happening. Jesus said in Matthew 5:37, let your yes be yes and your no be no. When God calls you to something, the best thing you can do is settle it quickly in your spirit. Yes means yes and follow through. The longer you linger in indecision, the more exhausting that thought conflict becomes. Let me give you a picture. Imagine two shores with a river in between. On one side are your current beliefs, the ones you've held for years. On the other side are your new beliefs, the ones God is calling you to embrace. To get across, you have to step into that river of discomfort. That's that conflict. It's uncomfortable. It feels risky, but it's also the only way to cross over. If you avoid the river, you stay stuck on the wrong side, looking at the life you want but never entering it. And sometimes you don't cross in one leap. That's where what I call bridge thoughts come in. If your old thought was, “I can't do this,” and the new thought is “I can do all things through Christ,” you may not fully believe that yet. So you start with a bridge thought, something like this: “With God's help, I can try.” That's believable. That's a step of faith. Over time, that grows into confidence. It's the way God builds endurance in us, step by step, faith to faith. Science actually helps us understand why thought conflict feels so uncomfortable. Our brains are wired for efficiency. The neural pathways we've been using for years—the old thoughts, the old beliefs—they're like well-paved highways. Your brain can travel them quickly without much effort. But when you introduce a new belief, it's like hacking a trail through the woods. At first, it feels awkward and clumsy, and your brain resists because it prefers the smooth, familiar road. That's why it feels so hard to let go of old beliefs and embrace new ones. It isn't just weakness on our part. It's our brain doing what it thinks is best to conserve energy. The problem is left unchecked, that instinct will keep us trapped in the same patterns year after year. This is exactly why Romans 12:2 tells us, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Notice it doesn't say one-time renewal. It's a continual renewing, over and over, creating new pathways of thought until the truth of God's Word becomes the natural highway your brain takes—or you might consider it a default setting. Think about it. Every time you practice a new thought, like “With God's help, I can do this,” you are literally building a new neural pathway. At first, it's faint and fragile. But as you keep practicing, that pathway strengthens, while the old one begins to weaken from lack of use. What once felt impossible eventually becomes second nature. So when you are experiencing thought conflict, don't interpret that discomfort as failure. It's actually proof that your brain is in the middle of rewiring. You're pulling away from old lies and teaching your mind to align with God's truth. And yes, that takes effort, but it also means you're on the right track. Let me encourage you with this: the same God who designed your brain gave you the ability to change it. Science calls it neuroplasticity. Scripture calls it renewal. Both point to the same truth—that you don't have to stay stuck in old ways of thinking. Through Christ, you have the power to be transformed, not just spiritually, but mentally, emotionally, and practically. So instead of fearing thought conflict, see it as evidence that your brain is doing the hard but holy work of change. You're tearing down the old highways and building new ones that lead directly to the destiny that God has prepared for you. And speaking of stepping into what God's called you to do, this is exactly why I am so passionate about equipping more Christians to serve with confidence in their calling. Right now is enrollment season for our Christian coaching, counseling, and specialty coaching training and certification programs. These are the very programs that give you the skills, tools, and credentials to help others create transformation, all while growing in your own walk and purpose. If you've been feeling that nudge from the Lord to step forward in ministry or coaching, this is the perfect time to say yes. You can find all the details and enroll today at pccca.org/courses. You can also find this link in our show notes. Let's get you trained, certified and ready to make an even greater Kingdom impact. Now let's bring this back. Thought conflict is not something to fear. It's part of the process of growth. Every time you set a goal, every time you move toward your calling, your old beliefs will rise up to challenge your new ones. It's perfectly normal. The enemy wants you to think it's a sign to quit, but really, it's a sign to persevere. Because once you cross the river, once you settle your yes with God, you'll look back and realize that what once felt impossible is now second nature. So my encouragement to you today is this: next time you feel that inner tug of war, pause and ask, “Lord, which way is Your way?” And when He shows you, don't hesitate. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Say yes quickly. Step forward, even if it feels uncomfortable. Because that is how God promotes you, grows you, and moves you into the life He has prepared for you. So as we close, remember thought conflict isn't failure. It's preparation. It's the sound of growth in progress. Don't run from it. Embrace it as part of the process of becoming the person God has called you to be.

Psychologists have traditionally believed we become less curious as we age, but recent research has shown that curiosity actually becomes more targeted and specific in our later years. To find out why this happens, and how maintaining broad curiosity into older age can help keep our brains young, Madeleine Finlay hears from Dr Mary Whatley, an assistant professor of psychology at Western Carolina University, and Dr Matthias Gruber, of Cardiff University's Brain Imaging Centre.

The trance rhythms of the Middle East, Asia and Africa are steady, continuous, and slowly changing. Rather than driving you forward like the ubiquitous military march beats of western rock, they patiently insinuate themselves on your nervous system, steady the breath, slow the pulse, and ultimately...transform your awareness. Psychologists call it "entrainment" or "dissociation." The rest of us call it enchantment, rapture, ecstasy, or euphoria. It's all part of the wide world of trance. Trance rhythms have been used by priests and shamans in non-western cultures for centuries. More recently they've been rediscovered by western musicians seeking an alternative to conventional beats, used by so-called "minimalist" classical composers, and adopted by experimental musicians around the world for their psychoactive power and popular appeal. Trance is also a major genre of Electronic Dance Music, with mind-altering beats heard on dance floors around the world. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we insinuate ourselves on your nervous system—in a good way—with soft summer trance music, on a program called INNER RHYTHMS. Music is by JAMES HOOD, BYRON METCALF, LOREN NERELL, DREAM JUNGLE, and DON LI. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Psychologists warn the trend of using AI for help is a worrying symptom of an in-demand and under-resourced sector. Community psychologist Dr Rebekah Graham spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Minute meetings look great on a spreadsheet. But do they actually help kids? In this episode of Graded, I dig into where this practice really came from, the myths we've built around it, and the risks nobody's talking about, and I'll share what to do instead.Minute meetings have taken on near-folklore status in school counseling. They're all over Pinterest, pushed in Facebook groups, and praised as the “must-do” way to reach every student. But here's the problem: they didn't come from research. They came from a 2011 blog post that went viral because it looked proactive and admin-friendly.I'll unpack why so many counselors have latched onto them, and the real costs hiding under the surface: wasted time, shaky privacy practices, legal risks, and the illusion of equity. Most importantly, you'll leave with stronger, evidence-backed alternatives- systematic data analysis, teacher consultation, and SEL strategies- that replace documentation theater with practices that actually change outcomes.If you've ever wondered whether minute meetings are helping or quietly hurting your program, this episode is for you.References (Annotated)American School Counselor Association. (2005). The ASCA National Model: A framework for school counseling programs (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA: Author. This framework formalized the profession's shift toward “comprehensive, data-driven” programs. Its expectations created pressure on counselors to prove contact and impact—conditions that made quick-fix strategies like minute meetings appealing.Dahir, C. A., & Stone, C. B. (2006). The transformed school counselor. Belmont, CA: Brooks/Cole. Captures the post-ASCA Model climate of accountability and data demands.

Send us a textHave you ever felt that uncomfortable itch that what once fit your life perfectly now feels like a stranger's coat? That career you chose decades ago, the one that defined your identity for so long—what happens when it no longer aligns with who you've become?This raw, honest conversation dives into the reality of midlife transitions and career pivots. Beginning with a hilariously mortifying story about a lice infestation during a professional training (yes, really!), we quickly move into deeper waters, exploring how our professional identities can simultaneously define us and trap us. We unpack that moment of recognition when you realize the person who chose your career path is essentially a stranger to who you are today—and why that realization isn't a failure but an opportunity for growth.The fear of change keeps many of us locked in roles that no longer serve us. We discuss the physiological truth that fear and excitement create identical responses in our bodies—it's only our interpretation that differs. By reframing the uncertainty of transition as exhilarating rather than terrifying, we can move through career shifts with more courage and less anxiety. For women especially, timing these transitions strategically matters, as ageism presents real challenges for those making later-life career changes.Whether you're contemplating a dramatic career change or simply seeking to revitalize your current path, this episode offers permission to honor your evolution. Small shifts can be just as meaningful as complete transformations. The key is recognizing when you've shifted into autopilot and taking intentional steps to realign your work with who you've become.Ready to make a change but feeling stuck?

Start here: https://drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop In this episode, I'll share the five psychology-backed steps I take every fall as a psychologist and mom of four to set my kids up for school success using my 5 C's parenting framework. You may be surprised to learn that your back-to-school approach directly impacts your child's long-term success, and small changes now can have a huge impact on their future. I'll reveal findings from a groundbreaking 50-year study showing that students who show up ready for school with responsibility and genuine interest in learning are significantly more likely to achieve higher education levels 11 years later and earn higher incomes 50 years later. This isn't about being the smartest kid in class - it's about developing the right mindset and behaviors from day one, and I'll show you exactly how to build these specific traits while explaining why most back-to-school preparations miss the mark. New to my channel?  I'm Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future. ------------------------------------------- Let's connect!

If you've ever caught yourself staring out a window, daydreaming of cobblestone streets in Paris, sunrises over Bali rice fields, or the quiet serenity of a mountain trail, you're not alone. Wanderlust—the irresistible urge to travel—is more than a trendy hashtag or a clever slogan on a hoodie. It's a deeply rooted part of human psychology.A Journey into the Mind of the TravelerAt 1923 Main Street, we live for that pull toward the horizon. But what is wanderlust, really? Why are some of us always dreaming of elsewhere?Let's take a journey into the mind.Born to Roam: The Science of WanderlustWanderlust isn't just a personality quirk—it's something researchers have studied and even tried to measure. There's a term for the personality trait most associated with travel: “high openness to experience.” Psychologists define this as one of the Big Five personality traits, and it's a strong predictor of someone's love for novelty, adventure and yes—travel.Studies have shown that people who score high in openness tend to:Be more curious and imaginativeSeek out variety and new experiencesBe more tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguityIt's not just about loving travel—it's about thriving on the unknown.There's also a genetic component. A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior suggested a connection between the DRD4-7R gene and a tendency to love exploring. People with this “wanderlust gene” tend to be more risk-taking and exploratory. Not everyone has it, but those who do are statistically more likely to crave far-off places.The Eternal Elsewhere: Is Wanderlust Good or Bad?Like anything, wanderlust has its pros and cons.On the plus side:Travel lovers tend to be more adaptable and resilient.Exploring new cultures fosters empathy and creativity.Experiences (like travel) are known to bring longer-lasting happiness than possessions.But a constant yearning to be somewhere else can also have its downside. If you're always focused on “the next place,” it can be hard to appreciate the present. Psychologists refer to this as destination addiction—the idea that happiness is always “somewhere else,” just out of reach.The trick? Embrace the adventure, but don't lose sight of the beauty in everyday life. (That's part of why we design our graphic tees and hoodies the way we do—to bring a little bit of your favorite places with you wherever you are—including enjoying those memories at home.)The Social Media Effect: Inspiration or Illusion?We all know that the digital age has turbocharged our wanderlust. Your scrolling fingers barely have time to rest before you're seeing someone's photo of Santorini sunsets or Patagonia peaks.But beware, because social media can play a little game of angel/devil:Angel:It fuels inspiration and discovery—introducing places you might never have dreamed of.It creates a global community of like-minded adventurers.Devil:It can create unrealistic expectations (hello, curated perfection).It may lead to comparison fatigue, making us feel like we're missing out.Research from the University of Pennsylvania showed that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day can reduce feelings of loneliness and FOMO—especially relevant when every scroll seems to showcase another person's passport stamp or sunrise mountain top photo from a faraway land.The key? Let social media inspire your dreams, but not dictate your worth.Are You Wired for Wanderlust?Wondering if you're part of the wanderlust tribe? Ask yourself:Do I get excited by planning trips—even ones I might never take?Do I sometimes feel more “me” when I'm out of my comfort zone?Am I more drawn to experiences than stuff?Do I keep a mental list (or an actual map) of dream destinations?Have I ever picked a hoodie or tee just because it reminds me of a place I love?If you nodded yes to most of those, chances are—wanderlust runs through your veins.Final Boarding CallWanderlust isn't something to be cured—it's something to be celebrated. The desire to travel pushes us to explore, connect and dream. Whether you're planning your next trip or reminiscing about your last, 1923 Main Street is here to keep that adventurous spark alive. Our travel-inspired apparel lets you wear your passion for the world—wherever you are, wherever you're going next.So go ahead—dream big, roam far, and bring a piece of the journey with you.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

We launch into a brand new series to reclaim your power by releasing anger and worry. I'm sharing with you a few BONUS episodes that are part of the Sip and Om Meditation app. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoy creating it for you! Psychologists have found that our anger is often not a direct result of an event, but of the story we tell ourselves about it. Our interpretations, assumptions, and judgments are the fuel that turns a minor spark into a consuming fire. Daily Challenge: When you find yourself replaying a moment that made you angry, simply label the thought "story." Practice letting go of the narrative and coming back to the present moment. WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES: THE FIRE WITHIN: MEDITATIONS ON ANGER, POWER, AND PURPOSE Welcome to "The Fire Within: Meditations on Anger, Power, and Purpose" In a world that often tells us to "just let go," "The Fire Within" challenges the conventional wisdom about anger. This isn't a series about suppressing or escaping your feelings. Instead, it is a guided journey to sit with your anger, to understand it, and to transform its intense energy from a destructive force into a potent catalyst for growth. Over seven episodes, you will learn to listen to what your anger is truly telling you, to reclaim your power from reactivity, and to forge a path forward with courage and clarity. This is a series for those ready to confront the uncomfortable truth of their emotions and emerge with an unshakable inner strength. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Fire Within: Meditations on Anger, Power, and Purpose," episodes 3353-3359.

In October 2023, Junior turned 49. That's the same age his dad was in 2001, when, before the last turn on the last lap of the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s car bumped into Sterling Marlin's, sending the iconic No. 3 careening into the wall at 160 mph.Reporter Kent Babb was studying journalism in college in 2002 when his grandmother called. “They think he's gone,” she said, referring to Babb's father. His father's heart had become enlarged, and while he was painting a house one day, it just stopped. His dad was 51. Babb is 43 now, and since the day his dad died, there has been something unsettling to him about the idea of turning 51. This is common among people who've lost a parent young, or what is called an “off-time” death. Psychologists suggest these feelings of anxiety and fear, alongside a gradually intensifying urge to learn about your bloodline, are like a final stage of grief. And it's one that most people, and in particular men, rarely talk about or explore.Babb wanted to talk about it, preferably with someone who understood. And though he never took to NASCAR, Babb knew he and Junior belonged to the same unfortunate club. Babb wondered if he thought about it, if he dreaded turning 49, how he was coping as he approached the age his daddy was.So, before his birthday in 2023, Babb asked if Earnhardt Jr. would be open to talking. He said yes.This story traces Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s relationship with his father and who he has become after his father's death.Kent Babb reported, wrote and narrated the piece. Bishop Sand composed music and produced audio for the piece.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITRemember when common sense wasn't breaking news? Today's episode tackles the bizarrely newsworthy announcement that men won't be allowed to compete in women's Olympic sports. We break down why this decision from the US Olympic Committee should never have been necessary in the first place and why the terminology being used by some news outlets completely misses the mark.We also explore a peculiar border incident where Mexican soldiers armed to the teeth accidentally wandered into New Mexico while hunting drug traffickers. When they surrounded American volunteers searching for lost migrants, the confusion that followed raises questions about border security and international protocols that rarely make headlines.The most frustrating segment dives into what can only be described as psychological gaslighting - a supposed expert claiming that complimenting your partner is actually harmful. We dismantle this nonsense piece by piece, exposing how overthinking basic human interactions creates problems where none exist. It's a perfect example of how "expertise" sometimes veers into absurdity.The episode wraps with personal reflections on Navy boot camp experiences and the two enduring lessons that stuck: attention to detail and teamwork. These straightforward principles have applications far beyond military service, shaping approaches to challenges in everyday life. What early life lessons continue to guide your path today?

From the archives - it's the best of “Navigating through Change” podcast - summer edition:Psychologists say that when we go through too much life change we get on overload, which can lead to all kinds of emotional and physical problems. This week, Gene points us to principles we can learn from the Israelite's 40-year journey -- to help us navigate change in our lives with a sense of confidence and God's presence. 

Big Breakdown – FBI & Psychotherapist Dissect The Sandra Birchmore Lies & Cover-Up Sandra Birchmore was 23, pregnant, and dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. Initially ruled a suicide, her case would unravel into one of the most disturbing cover-ups involving law enforcement in recent memory. This episode investigates how Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell—who first met Sandra when she was just 15—used his badge and position of power to groom her, control her, and ultimately, as federal authorities allege, stage her murder to look like a suicide. We examine the forensic red flags: a fractured hyoid bone inconsistent with suicide, a broken necklace, surveillance footage placing Farwell at her apartment that night, and 30,000+ text messages showing years of coercion and manipulation. The FBI stepped in after state officials failed to act, exposing a department-wide culture of complicity and silence. Psychologists weigh in on Sandra's behavioral patterns, how grooming distorts reality, and why no one stepped in until it was far too late. This is the case that proves a badge doesn't mean protection—and that justice often begins only when the cover-up falls apart. You'll hear why the federal indictment of Farwell might be just the beginning of holding an entire system accountable.

Send us a textWhat would you tell your younger self? That question sparked a fascinating exploration of life lessons, hard-won wisdom, and the unexpected gifts that come with age and experience.The magical thing about turning 40 isn't just the physical changes – it's the powerful ability to look back across two decades of adulthood and recognize how much knowledge you've gained. Like having coffee with your 20-year-old self, this reflective vantage point reveals truths that could have changed everything.Financial literacy tops the list of crucial knowledge many wish they'd gained earlier. Understanding how to make your money work for you, managing student debt, and avoiding the trap of spending every dollar you earn creates freedom that compounds over time. Equally important is developing a value-driven plan for life – not just career goals, but clarity about what truly matters to you. When your choices align with your core values, fulfillment follows naturally.Perhaps the most liberating realization? Nobody is paying as much attention to your choices as you think they are. The freedom to fail, change direction, and reimagine your path without fear of judgment opens worlds of possibility. Your education and experience equip you with transferable skills that can flourish in countless contexts – you're not locked into any single trajectory.Creating boundaries, developing a meditation practice, freeing yourself from body image obsessions, and simply taking the trip when your gut tells you to – these lessons emerge repeatedly as game-changers. The most painful regrets center not on what we did, but what we didn't do when we felt that internal pull.Whether you're approaching 40, looking back from beyond it, or still navigating your 20s, this conversation offers perspective that might just change how you view the journey ahead. What would you tell your younger self over coffee? And perhaps more importantly – what might your future self wish you understood right now?Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

It's a very mysterious world. Physicists can't figure out what matter is, nor do they know what consciousness is. Psychologists have different ideas about the brain; sociologists, different theories about how people interact; and so on and so forth. It's very, very complicated. And if you don't want to strain your brain, like people have done over many millennia, then just chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. So in one sentence, what would you tell somebody who didn't was a an acquaintance of yours, maybe a classmate or a relative who doesn't know anything about chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa in one sentence, what would you tell them was your experience this morning? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Psychologists and philosophers have debated what makes a good life, traditionally focusing on the search for happiness and meaning. Recently, though, the quest for another sensation has entered the conversation: fulfillment. Shigehiro Oishi, Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his concept of “psychological richness,” where curiosity and spontaneity provide the stimulation we need, and how this outlook can carry us even through the hardest patches of our lives. His book is “Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life.”This episode, originally aired, February 4th, 2025.
