Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complex systems surrounding your child's mental and behavioral health? In this episode, we dive deep into how families can bridge the gap between schools, medical providers, and home life to ensure every child thrives. Join us for a powerful conversation about advocacy, collaboration, and the importance of meeting children where they are.In this episode, host Jae sits down with Dr. Katrina Ostmeyer, PhD, the founder of Beyond the Individual and a professor at the University of Kansas. Katrina shares her unique journey from academia to clinical practice, sparked by her own experiences as a parent of children who do not always fit the traditional mold. We explore the common frustrations of siloed systems where schools, insurance companies, and parents often find themselves at odds rather than working together.Katrina explains why true collaboration is the secret ingredient to progress and how her clinic provides a continuum of care that empowers families rather than creating long-term dependency. We also discuss the vital role of parental self-regulation, exploring why parenting is often more about managing our own emotions than controlling our children. Whether you are navigating an IEP, seeking behavioral support, or looking for ways to better regulate your household, this episode offers practical wisdom and encouragement.Chapters0:00 Intro and Welcome2:15 Katrina's Journey to Psychology and Practice5:30 Filling Service Gaps in Mental Health8:45 The Problem with Siloed Systems12:00 Collaboration Over Blame in Child Success15:15 Parenting and Self-Regulation18:30 Focus on Guidance and Autonomy21:45 The Beyond the Individual Service Model25:00 Moving Toward Independence in Therapy28:30 Working with Schools and IEP Teams31:15 Telehealth and Reaching Families Everywhere34:00 Final Takeaways and Self-Care35:51 End of VideoIf you found this conversation helpful, please like this video and subscribe to our channel for more insights on supporting your children.

But the benefits of nature connection aren't reserved for remote forests or weekend getaways. In this episode, discover simple ways to bring more awareness, curiosity, and connection with nature into your everyday routine—whether you live in the countryside, a suburb, or the heart of a city.

Throwback Thursday brings us one of the most fascinating conversations we've ever had.Dr. Randy Bell is a sociologist, economist, author, and internationally recognized disaster recovery expert known as the "Master of Disaster." For decades, he has consulted on hundreds of major disasters and high-profile events around the world, studying how individuals and communities recover from trauma and adversity.In this episode, Randy shares how his experience studying trauma, resilience, and recovery applies directly to faith transitions, religious deconstruction, and life after Mormonism. Drawing from years of working with victims of tragedy and disaster, he explains the trauma cycle, the path toward healing, and how adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth.This highlight reel features some of the most memorable moments from our conversation. If you've experienced a faith crisis, major life transition, or personal setback, Randy's insights may help you see the journey in an entirely new light.

More people in their 60s and 70s are staying on the job than ever before, and it's not always about the money. Today, Phil digs into the real reasons retirees keep showing up to work. Working longer isn't automatically the wrong call. Sometimes it's exactly right. The real question is whether it's a choice or a fallback. That's worth figuring out before you assume the answer.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Connie A. Huft, author of Know Thine Enemy: A Guide to Intelligent Deception, for a compelling conversation about deception, manipulation, human behavior, and the importance of recognizing when appearances may not tell the whole story. Whether encountered in personal relationships, professional situations, or everyday interactions, deception can be difficult to identify—especially when emotions, trust, and persuasion influence the way we interpret another person's words and actions. Through her work, Connie examines the characteristics and behavioral patterns associated with deceptive and manipulative individuals. She explores how people can become more observant of inconsistencies, questionable motives, emotional manipulation, and other warning signs that may suggest someone is attempting to mislead them. Rather than encouraging paranoia or suspicion, the discussion emphasizes awareness, critical thinking, personal boundaries, and the importance of evaluating claims before accepting them as truth. During this intriguing interview, Rob and Connie discuss lies, deception, manipulation, trust, intuition, relationships, psychology, and human behavior. They explore why intelligent people can still be deceived, how manipulators may exploit emotions and vulnerabilities, and why understanding our own biases can be just as important as recognizing questionable behavior in others. They also examine the difference between intuition and evidence when deciding whether someone can genuinely be trusted. From relationships and friendships to business and everyday encounters, knowing how deception works can provide an important layer of personal awareness. Join Rob McConnell and Connie A. Huft on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a thought-provoking exploration of deception, discernment, and the timeless warning contained in the phrase: Know Thine Enemy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Most of us were taught to treat emotions like distress, numbness, and burnout as private failings to manage and move past, rather than normal responses to living within a world full of crises. The unintended result is a distrust in our own bodies and mind, further leading to more confusion about what is 'normal.' One framework offers a potential path to living in harmony with all of the mind's distinct parts, breaking the defensive and counterproductive loops we tend to get stuck in. What sort of systemic ripples might become possible if we stop trying to smother uncomfortable parts of ourselves, and begin embracing them as critical pieces of our own mental ecologies? In this episode, Nate is joined by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, the therapist who developed Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Steffi Bednarek, a climate psychologist applying that same model to organizations, governments, and culture at large. Dick walks through the origins of IFS, which describes the mind as naturally made up of "parts" – protectors and exiles – with their own histories, fears, and roles, which are all held by an underlying "Self." Steffi extends the model outward to show how institutions and even entire countries can be read as systems of exiles and protectors, and shares how she uses IFS with governments, financial institutions, and wealth holders to defuse shame and effectively guide toward pro-social behavioral change. Together, they explore why healing our relationship to our own most despised parts may be inseparable from healing our relationship to the rest of the living world. How can looking inward to our own thought processes and patterns help us better understand and relate to others, especially those whose behavior we find hardest to accept? As we continue through challenging times, how can we balance critical physical and policy work with the internal work of healing our relationship to the mental parts we shy away from? And would our decisions and actions change if more and more humans began to lead from curiosity and compassion, instead of fear, and could that be enough to shift the larger system? (Conversation recorded on August 5th, 2026)   About Richard C. Schwartz: Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, is the creator of Internal Family Systems, a highly effective, therapeutic model with a growing evidence base, that de-pathologizes the multi-part personality. Richard is also the Founder of the IFS Institute that primarily offers training for professionals. He is currently a Teaching Associate in Psychiatry, at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate. Richard has authored or co-authored more than ten books on Internal Family Systems and related topics, including No Bad Parts and Internal Family Systems Therapy. He lives near Chicago with his wife Jeanne, Vice President of the IFS Institute, close to his three daughters and six grandchildren.   About Steffi Bednarek: Steffi Bednarek is a gestalt psychotherapist, trauma therapist, and climate psychologist. Her work explores the interface between climate change and mental health. With twenty-five years of experience in depth psychology, complexity thinking, climate psychology, and grief tending, Bednarek has worked for national governments and global institutions to prepare leaders and organizations for the psychological dimension of climate change in decision-making processes. Her work has been featured in the Huffington Post, BBC, David Milliband's "Reasons to be cheerful" podcast and numerous international publications. She is the co-founder of "Explorations into Climate Psychology" journal and an associate member of the American Psychological Association's climate change group.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Why do we overeat, compulsively eat, or binge even when we genuinely want to stop?We're constantly given advice about what to eat, but far less attention is given to why we eat the way we do and when you struggle with food addiction, binge eating, emotional eating, or disordered eating, knowing what you “should” do often isn't enough to change the behavior.In Episode 401 of the Food Freedom Podcast, I'm exploring the psychology behind our relationship with food and why certain eating patterns can feel so difficult to break.If you've ever thought, “I know better, so why do I keep doing this?” this episode will help you look beyond willpower and start understanding what may actually be driving your behavior with food.Recovery isn't just about changing what's on your plate.

When Should You Hire a Fractional COO?Are you googling "how do I know when it's time to bring in a fractional COO" at 11pm because the business feels chaotic again?Here's the thing: it's not about being big enough. It's not about "someday." It's not even about how hard you're hustling. It's about whether you've proven a repeatable model — and there's a specific number that tells you when you're there.I sat down as a guest on the Business Growth Podcast with Leonard DeBeer and gave founders the exact revenue framework I use, no vague "it depends."Spoiler: it's not $1 million. It's not even close.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly where your business needs to sit before a fractional COO can actually move the needle for you — and you'll know the difference between a COO who "talks at you" and one who rolls up their sleeves and gets it done. You'll also hear the real numbers behind how On Call COO grew from $9,000 in cash collected in 2023 to a $3M run rate this year, and why 90% of our clients find us through paid ads instead of referrals.In This Episode:[01:30] Why the fractional COO market is underserved[03:00] The biggest misconception about fractional COO support[04:30] The $1M–$3M framework for knowing when it's time[06:00] How On Call COO actually got started[09:00] What drove rapid growth once demand outpaced supply[12:00] Why paid advertising beats referrals for a service most people don't know they need[17:30] Goals for the rest of the year: retention, referral partners, brand[21:00] Book recommendations: Big Magic and Psychology of MoneyYour homework: Before you do anything else this week, figure out which range you're actually in — still proving the model, or repeating it consistently above $3M.

In this episode of The Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan welcomes author and Fortean researcher Ann Selene, to discuss the psychology of Bigfoot. From the similarities of sightings to the phenomenology of bigfoot experiences, as well as the sad realities of fraud and chicanery within Bigfoot communities. How can these factors be compiled to not only make a movement, but also possibly mania, and how do we begin to separate this from the true research into the cryptid known as Bigfoot? In the second part of the episode, we welcome Mark Fiorentino, author of Master of Reality. We discuss the many ways that Einstein's vision of physics and reality have inspired Mark to search for a new concept of a Unified Theory of Everything. How are we connected to the Universe around us, and how can we begin to find the physics to express and prove this connection?

Music Video for The Stairs: https://youtu.be/-9FOYTwxfcU?si=mFPQVDCKASBR1oFuLive from Wembley Stadium: https://youtu.be/N8CIBNJB2FM?si=sF_SoLZtDrzyaszvThere's a kind of loneliness that has nothing to do with being alone.You can live surrounded by hundreds—or thousands—of people, pass the same faces every day, share elevators, hallways, sidewalks and city blocks…and never truly know one another.  This week on The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores INXS' “The Stairs,” a haunting meditation on the anonymous lives unfolding around us and the strange human experience of being physically close while remaining emotionally separate.Through the song, Gunter examines the psychology of loneliness, our biological need for connection, the phenomenon of “familiar strangers,” and the surprising role architecture and urban design play in determining whether people simply pass one another—or actually meet.And more than three decades after The Stairs appeared on INXS' X, its observations may be even more relevant in a digital world that gives us unprecedented proximity while often leaving genuine human connection painfully out of reach.In This EpisodeThe story and ideas behind INXS' “The Stairs”Why loneliness can exist even when we're surrounded by peopleLoneliness as a biological signal rather than a personal failingThe evolutionary importance of human connectionThe psychology of the “familiar stranger”How urban environments can create proximity without interactionSocial infrastructure and the spaces where relationships formWhy cities designed primarily for movement can unintentionally discourage connectionPsychological overload and why we sometimes withdraw from people around usHow digital environments reproduce the same paradoxWhy The Stairs remains strikingly relevant todaySmall acts of recognition that can begin closing the distance between strangersChapter HighlightsIntroduction: The Stairs and the Loneliness of Being SurroundedINXS and the Album XThe Psychological Need to BelongSocial Overload in Urban EnvironmentsLoneliness as a Biological SignalWaiting, Recognition and the Structure of The StairsHow Urban Design Shapes Human ConnectionFrom Physical Cities to Digital LonelinessProximity Without ConnectionSmall Acts That Bridge the DistanceSharing Our Experiences of LonelinessKey TakeawaysLoneliness is a signal. Like hunger or pain, it can alert us that an important human need isn't being met.Proximity isn't the same as connection. We can encounter the same people repeatedly without ever crossing the invisible boundary between stranger and acquaintance.Our environments matter. The spaces we build can either encourage spontaneous human contact or quietly discourage it.The digital world hasn't eliminated this paradox. In some ways, it has recreated the apartment building on a global scale: millions of people occupying the same space while remaining strangers.Connection can begin remarkably small. Recognition, conversation and simple acknowledgment can interrupt anonymity.GratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Fairborn, Elyria (uh-lee-ree-uh), Columbus, Grafton, Northfield, Lorain, Ashland, and Cincinnati for keeping Ohio securely at the #2 spot on the Top 10 USA listeners list.And to our Global Listeners, we extend our gratitude to two countries reaching our top 20 list for the very first time ever!

Can you actually date men when it feels like everyone is telling you not to trust them? We're unpacking how social media, clickbait headlines, and a constant stream of negative dating stories can make distrust feel like the default. We discuss why the loudest relationship narratives often aren't the most common ones, how to separate real red flags from fear-driven assumptions, and why paying attention to patterns of behavior matters more than blanket rules about who can or can't be trusted. We also explore how past experiences shape our expectations, where accountability belongs on both sides of dating, and how to balance healthy skepticism without closing yourself off to genuine connection.

Books have never been trendier, but studies show that as more and more things compete for our frazzled attention spans, we're reading less and less. This is a problem because reading has a wealth of cognitive benefits that we're in danger of missing out on. To find out why declining literacy could affect everything from memory to IQ, Madeleine Finlay speaks to the Guardian's science editor, Ian Sample. She also hears from Prof Falk Huettig, an experimental psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and author of The Perks of Being a Bookworm.

Here's your chance to listen to a firsthand account of one of the most horrible parts of our recent human history, and how we stop it from happening again. This episode features a conversation with a psychologist whose life's work sits at the intersection of two of humanity's most extreme capacities: the capacity for cruelty, and the capacity for courage.  A survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary, hiding in Budapest as a six-year-old, he became a leading researcher on the psychology of genocide, group violence, and altruism - work that has shaped police training programs on "active bystandership," informed reconciliation efforts in Rwanda, and produced decades of research on what leads ordinary people to help others, even at personal risk. What to Listen for:  Small early experiences compound. How children are raised - with warmth, responsiveness, and consistent values - can shape whether they grow toward caring or toward hostility, on both an individual and societal level. Responsibility, not just empathy, drives action. Empathy alone doesn't reliably produce helping behavior - a felt sense of responsibility for someone else's welfare, paired with a belief that you can actually make a difference, is what moves people to act. Bystanders can be trained to become "active bystanders." This isn't just theory - it's the basis of real police and school training programs designed to help people intervene safely when they see harm happening. "Blind patriotism" vs. "constructive patriotism" is a useful lens for understanding how loyalty to a group, a leader, or a country can either enable harm or serve as a check against it. Violence - and caring - escalate gradually. Small unaddressed moments of hostility or dehumanization tend to compound over time, in families, institutions, and nations alike. Personal history and professional work aren't separate. The guest's own childhood experience of hiding from persecution, and the people who risked their lives to protect his family, directly shaped decades of research into what makes rescuers different from bystanders. About Ervin Staub Professor Emeritus of Psychology and founding director of the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary as a young child, he has spent his career researching the roots of genocide, mass violence, and altruism — including fieldwork in Rwanda, expert witness work related to the Abu Ghraib trials, and the design of active-bystandership training programs now used by police departments across the country.

What if the path from drug dealing to military service to training over 6,000 dogs worldwide could teach you the one thing most dog owners get completely wrong? Ryan Matthews, former US Army combat canine handler and founder of World of Dog Training, reveals why your frustrated relationship with your dog isn't really about your dog at all. After surviving combat PTSD, cancer, and life-threatening injuries, Ryan discovered that the same leadership principles that kept him alive overseas are exactly what creates the calm, confident dogs every owner dreams of having. His anti-dog training approach flips traditional methods upside down, focusing on energy, mindset, and the uncomfortable truth about why dogs manipulate their humans.Ryan breaks down the two types of dogs every owner needs to recognize, why reward-based training often backfires, and his revolutionary pause method that transforms behavior in minutes instead of months. From his military working dog Rex to his current telepathic communication with Zeus, you'll discover how understanding your dog's energy and body language creates a relationship deeper than most people have with other humans. Whether you're struggling with a rescue dog's trauma or simply want to stop being outsmarted by your family pet, this conversation will shift how you see leadership, communication, and the incredible intelligence of the animals sharing our lives.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

This season starts off with a wonderful conversation with Dr. Gordon Flett, Professor Emeritus in Psychology at York University in Canada and the author of the 2018 book, The Psychology of Mattering:  Understanding the Human Need to be Significant.   Dr. Flett's research into “mattering” – which he started in the 1980's --  seems to be finding a contemporary relevance in the 21st century as our society trends toward social isolation and loneliness.  His work resonates with Heart Forward because of our belief that the human posture of coming alongside people, and practicing radical hospitality in our relationships, can be transformative for all involved.    Flett, who is considered one of the global experts on this topic, believes that the experience of mattering is critical for human well-being and a sense of flourishing.  As you will hear, this is not the same as a sense of belonging or self-esteem.  People need to feel seen and heard and they yearn to know that they are making a difference or add value in some way. Dr. Flett has been busy in his so-called retirement from academic life and has appeared on several podcasts and interviews in the past year.  Here are some helpful links:Hidden Brain podcast:  Do you Feel Invisible (Feb 2026)Hidden Brain podcast:  A Secret Source of Connection (June 2026)  Dr. Flett responds to listener questions and comments sparked by the February podcast)The Oprah Podcast:  How Mattering to Yourself & Others Can Change Your Life with Oprah, Jennifer Wallace & Ina Garten (January 2026) Books and publicationsThe Psychology of Mattering:  Understanding the Human Need to be Significant.  Dr. Gordon Flett.  Published 2018. The Healing Power and Potential of Mattering.    APA PsycNet.  Other resourcesMattering in Action | Making Schools More HumanWhy ‘Mattering' Is a Key Part of Mental Health - The New York TimesTed Talk Des Moines Nov 2021 Angela Maiers – You Matter   Gordon L.

Then she walked away to take on one of America's hardest problems: a youth mental health crisis where roughly 20 million teens and young adults need care — and only half get it. In this episode of Inspiring Women, Laurie McGraw talks with Obi Felten, founder and CEO of Flourish Labs, about a different model for closing that gap: training young adults with lived experience to become accredited, professional peer supporters — and scaling it with telehealth and AI through Peers.net. In this conversation: - Why Obi left Google X moonshots for mental health - The care gap: ~20M young people in need, only half reached - Peer support as a way to expand the mental health workforce — not just add clinicians - Winning Medicaid contracts to reach underserved youth - Peer support in high-risk moments, like post-ER care for suicidal teens - What it takes to scale a mission to a million supporters About the guest — Obi Felten: Founder and CEO of Flourish Labs, scaling professional peer support via Peers.net.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Cinda Gault, author of the book Everything I Hope For. Cinda has demonstrated an enduring interest in women's lives. An undergraduate degree in Psychology led to her founding an agency to help victims of domestic violence. She followed up a stint as a prison guard with an M.A. in Criminology focused on domestic violence. Inspired to become a writer and learn about the literary tradition she wanted to join, she completed a doctoral dissertation on Canadian women's writing during the “identity years” of 1965-1980.   In 1988, she published her first novel as a Harlequin Superromance set in Guelph. Her first historical novel, This Godforsaken Place, was published in 2015. In between these novels, she won third prize in an international short story contest, earned a Ph.D. in English, and raised two sons. In 2023, she published A Small Compass, welcomed two granddaughters, and has a new novel, Everything I Hope For, set in the 1970s.   In my book review, I stated Everything I Hope For is a young adult late 20th century historical fiction by Cinda Gault. Although it is difficult for me to believe that 1970s is now historical, Cinda does an excellent job thrusting us into the world of Jesus Freaks and hippies.   In this coming of age story, we meet Belinda who is a senior in high school who has always been a good student and honest with her parents - especially her open-minded mother. But as her parents' relationship disintegrates and Belinda begins dating, everything she thought to be true about her relationship with her mother turns upside down. At seventeen, she finds herself on her own and making adult choices she's not quite ready to make.   We watch as she navigates familial bonds, romance, lust, friendship, higher education, finding a job, and true love. Throughout it all, Belinda is simply hoping to find what she's always wanted - to be accepted for who she is and to be allowed to grow and become.   I enjoyed this book and think you will too!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Cinda Gault Website: www.cindagault.com FB: @Cinda Gault IG: @gaultcinda LinkedIn: @Cinda Gault X: CindaGault   Purchase Everything I Hope For on Amazon: Ebook: https://amzn.to/4xagglK   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology. Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world's greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle's 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness. Dr Lisle is available at selected days and times for a one-to-one, personal phone consultation.To schedule a consultation with Dr Lisle: https://drdouglisle.as.me/schedule.php

On today's show, I'm talking about what happens when attraction to someone because of their race turns into fetishizing them, and what can happen when that fantasy meets rejection.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through 25 psychology tricks that make Reels go viral, organized by the exact job each one does in a video. He starts with hooks and openers — the curiosity gap, pattern interrupts, callout targeting, negativity bias, and open loops — and explains how each one stops the scroll in the first second. From there Brock moves into retention mechanics like the Zeigarnik effect, rapid cuts, visual countdowns, contrast framing, and micro-cliffhangers that keep people watching to the end. He breaks down the emotional triggers that make content land, including social proof, loss aversion, relatability shock, righteous anger, and aspiration mirroring. Brock also covers the sharing psychology behind identity signaling, "send this to" prompts, in-group language, and measured controversy, then finish with engagement drivers like the deliberate error, binary questions, fill-in-the-blank prompts, reciprocity, and curiosity-based CTAs. For each trick he gives a concrete example across different niches so you can see how to apply it to your own content, whether you're in fitness, finance, cooking, or anything else.

Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, board-certified sexologist, and the leading figure in a new kind of sexual education. Wielding an MS in Psychology and a longstanding curiosity, Shan helps people move towards greater intimacy between their partners and themselves. Born and raised in a predominantly white neighborhood in Canada, Shan's initially poor experiences with sex led her to educate herself on how to prevent these kinds of experiences from occurring again. She built on this curiosity and self-education with professional training and a growing desire to build a new kind of sex ed. Shan joined Naked Beauty with her usual candor, granting us access to her personal experiences with desire, intimacy, sex, and pleasure. During our conversation, Shan made it clear that her goal isn't just to get people talking about sex, but to take back their power from dominant narratives about sexual development and education to empower ourselves.Shan walks us through how her loving relationship with her husband exposed her to unconditional love she didn't realize she was missing. She offers couples tips on how to have a fruitful sex life while managing the responsibilities of long-term partnership, parenting, and the daily drudgery of life. We covered the more unpleasant side of relationships, like how couples can move away from resentment and towards repair. Shan also provided us with specific examples that we can employ immediately to have better sex with ourselves and our partners. Shan even offered a live demonstration of her favorite sex positions and toys that are sure to please.

For years I believed, like most people do, that the harder something felt, the more it counted. Then I sat down with a piece of paper, the Law of Polarity, and everything about how I chase goals changed. Success Without the Struggle Begins With the Law of Polarity Draw a horizontal line. Put a vertical line through the middle. Negative on the left — lack, difficulty, not having. Positive on the right — the money, the people, the opportunity, already here. Those two sides are not separate. They’re connected in the middle, the same way my phone has a left side and a right side that both belong to the same object. When you’re chasing a goal, especially one tied to money, your perception convinces you that only the negative side is real. That’s what success without the struggle actually requires: recognizing both sides already exist right now, not someday, not once you’ve earned it. Success Without the Struggle Means Questioning Your Perception Here’s the part that took me years to fully get: the problem you’re carrying doesn’t exist in reality. It exists in your perception. You’ve been so locked onto what you don’t have that your mind has stopped registering what’s already available to you. Doubt, fear, and worry aren’t proof that something is wrong — they’re just what happens when you emotionally align with the wrong side of the line. You were handed a paradigm as a kid, probably one that said good things come from struggle. Success without the struggle means catching yourself the moment that old paradigm speaks up, and choosing the truth instead of the story. Why Success Without the Struggle Still Takes Action None of this is magical thinking. Choosing truth over perception doesn’t mean you sit still and wait. It means you stop assuming the goal requires suffering and start doing the plain, practical thing in front of you — the calls, the outreach, the conversation you’ve been avoiding. I was raised, like a lot of people, to believe I shouldn’t bother anyone or ask for anything. But you’re not asking anymore. You have something of real value to offer, and the people who need it are already close to you. Success without the struggle doesn’t mean success without effort — it means effort without suffering, faith applied daily through what you actually do. What you want — the sale, the client, the house, the shift in your bank account — isn’t something you have to force into existence. It’s already here, waiting on the other side of the same line you’re standing on. Success without the struggle simply means getting in harmony with what’s true instead of what your perception has convinced you is missing.

That ceiling has a name — it’s your Financial Set Point. It’s the unconscious limit you’ve placed on what you believe you can earn, and until you see it clearly, it runs the show no matter what strategies you put in place.That’s what we work on at my upcoming Business Intensive in August.  Over two days, I'll help you identify your financial set point, understand why it’s there, and break through it so you can finally earn what you want without the constant struggle and hustle that’s been getting you nowhere.If that sounds like exactly what’s been missing, you don’t want to sit this one out.

Jonathan Alpert, psychotherapist practicing in New York and Washington, D.C. and author of Therapy Nation, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the psychology behind why socialism "feels good" to so many young Americans, and why the rise of the DSA within the Democratic party might be evidence of individuals trying to force control over outcomes in society. Alpert describes why he thinks socialists "love to hate" so many successful groups, and you can listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

We talk about a lot of things that people don't want to talk about or even hear. Still, they are very real, challenging, and difficult circumstances surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It's important to share these stories because these difficulties become a reality for many people. Today's show focuses on birth trauma and breastfeeding as we hear our guest's personal account. Erin Northrup is a mom of four busy children, ranging in age from 2 to 10. She lives in Atlantic Canada, where she enjoys spending time in nature with her family. With the birth of her oldest child, Jack, she experienced birth trauma, and this experience sparked her passion for researching trauma. Erin holds a bachelor's in Psychology and is currently pursuing a Master's in Health Services Research. Her current research explores the experience of breastfeeding after birth trauma. Her own experience of breastfeeding after birth trauma inspired her to become a volunteer with a breastfeeding support organization offering community-based, peer-to-peer breastfeeding support. She is committed to raising awareness of the intersection of birth trauma, breastfeeding, and perinatal mental health. Show Highlights: Erin's birth trauma experience with the birth of her son, Jack, now 10 How her OB prepared her to have a C-section because of an ambiguous condition How Erin's water broke a week early, and her spinal didn't take, so the C-section proceeded under general anesthesia, while Erin felt dissociated from the entire experience In recovery, she was told that her son was taken to the NICU because of low blood sugar, and she couldn't see him yet How Erin's mom, a physician, stepped in to advocate for Erin to see her son While eating breakfast a few hours after the birth, Erin felt a popping sensation in her incision and felt a gush of blood Erin was rushed back to the OR, and the spinal worked this time while Erin cried on the table--all of this was before she had even held her baby How Erin was repeatedly spoken about like she wasn't even in the room; she felt like her input wasn't even important When Erin got home, survival mode kicked in, and she regretted not advocating more strongly for herself How Erin questioned whether or not her son was even the right baby, worrying that a mix-up could have occurred in the hospital because neither she nor her husband witnessed his birth How she determined to “make it up” to her son by breastfeeding him How the Ob told her at two months postpartum that her condition should not have warranted a C-section in the first place---which just made everything worse How Erin felt an erosion of trust in her doctors and the medical system How Erin asked where the growth and meaning was in her situation and how she could use her experience to help others Erin applied to a Master's program and went on to have three more kids with positive birth experiences How Erin found support for breastfeeding What Erin has found in her research by asking mothers about their experience with birth trauma and breastfeeding The magnitude of the response she has received, but the difficulty in hearing the painful stories of birth trauma The results from Erin's research: Birth trauma is destabilizing to the breastfeeding process because of the physical and emotional pain in childbirth and the postpartum period from mistreatment The importance of trauma-informed care How women with these experiences feel like the trauma is somehow their fault What care providers should be aware of in their work Resources: ⁠Instagram: Live Learn Lactate⁠ Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit⁠ cdph.ca.gov⁠ Please find resources in English and Spanish at⁠ Postpartum Support International⁠, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

When a boss's email, meeting request, or tone of feedback feels disproportionately intense, it may not be about the present moment alone. For many people, workplace dynamics can quietly reactivate older emotional patterns tied to childhood experiences of criticism, invisibility, powerlessness, or conditional approval. This episode explores how that happens—and how to recognize when the nervous system is responding to the past, not just the job.In this episode:Why authority figures at work can unconsciously resemble early caregiversHow simple workplace feedback can trigger shame, fear, or collapseThe role of childhood experiences in shaping adult stress responsesWhy “professionalism” can sometimes override emotional self-protectionHow to tell the difference between present-day feedback and old emotional memoryWhat it means to stay grounded when the body reacts before the mind can interpretThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

What happens when rapid success becomes unsustainable?For Colin Hodge, the answer came through a painful lesson.After building a startup that reached 1 million users in roughly three months, Colin found himself under enormous pressure—scaling infrastructure, recruiting a team, experimenting with growth tactics, and dealing with a major trademark lawsuit. Then Apple told him his app would be removed from the App Store within 24 hours.He eventually found himself sitting on the floor of his San Francisco apartment, overwhelmed and crying in the shower.That moment became a turning point.In this episode of Second Life Leader, Colin joins Doug Bird to talk about the psychology that helped him rebuild—not just his company, but his approach to entrepreneurship itself.They explore what it means to get comfortable with discomfort, stop living for other people's approval, understand customer psychology, and build systems that allow sustainable growth instead of frantic growth.TL;DRThe psychology behind how you work may matter just as much as the strategy you're using.Colin's biggest lessons include:* Get comfortable being uncomfortable.* Stop building your life around other people's approval.* Be authentic without confusing authenticity with performance.* Understand your users' psychology and meet them where they are.* Focus on the variables you can actually control.* Treat business decisions as hypotheses that need to be tested.* Don't wait for perfection before putting ideas into the world.* Let data drive your decisions.* Build systems that allow small wins to compound over time.The goal isn't to swing for the fences every time.It's to develop the discipline to keep getting on base.Memorable Lines“I need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.”“The worst that happens is people see you're trying.”“I don't have to perform for this.”“It's not lack of planning, it's just lack of fakeness.”“You can't control the outcome. You can control the process.”“What's the hypothesis?”“If you're swinging always for the fences, then you need to take a hard look and be like, are you okay with the one out of a thousand going there?”Guest: Colin HodgeColin Hodge is a repeat founder who has grown startups to millions of users and has experienced both rapid growth and painful setbacks.His experience ultimately led him toward a more sustainable approach to entrepreneurship—one grounded in psychology, behavioral science, experimentation, and understanding the people using his products.A major part of that approach is what Colin calls “decision engineering”: understanding the cognitive biases and psychological factors that influence the small decisions users make throughout their journey.Why This MattersEntrepreneurship often rewards the appearance of certainty.Social media shows the successful launch. The funding announcement. The growth chart. The bestseller.It rarely shows the breakdown in the shower.But failure, uncertainty, and messy rebuilding are often part of the actual process.Colin's story is a reminder that sustainable growth isn't necessarily about finding the biggest possible opportunity or constantly chasing the next growth tactic.Sometimes it's about understanding the game, identifying what you can control, testing your assumptions, and doing enough repetitions to learn what actually works.As Doug puts it through the baseball analogy: focus on the strike zone, not the result of every swing.Because in an uncertain world, you can't guarantee every outcome.But you can build a process that gives you a much better chance of creating the outcome you want.Listen to the full conversation with Colin Hodge on Second Life Leader.

Shoot Me A Quick Text & Introduce YourselfImproving your mental health isn't only about what you read, listen to, or take. At some point, what matters most is what you consistently practice.In this episode, we break mental health down to the ground level, understanding your emotions, challenging unhealthy thought patterns, recognizing your triggers, building tolerance for discomfort, processing what you feel, and learning your personal warning signs.We also discuss how genetics, environment, family patterns, and even epigenetics can influence where some of our struggles begin, without allowing our past to determine where we end up.You'll never reach a point where you have everything completely figured out. The goal is to become more self-aware, more emotionally equipped, and better prepared to handle the difficult seasons when they come.Because taking control of your mental health starts with learning how to work with yourself.Support the showNext Chapter CoachingAssessmentFree Download: The Next Chapter GuideInstagramYouTubeSupport the show - Show your appreciation by supporting the show

What happens when things are actually going well—and your brain immediately starts waiting for something to go wrong?In this episode, we talk about emotional confidence: the ability to trust yourself with change, uncertainty, disappointment, and even happiness. You'll hear why bracing for future pain doesn't protect you from it, how recovery involves learning to tolerate normal variation rather than trying to keep life perfectly steady, and why confidence is often built by remembering what you've already survived.We also explore the difference between recognizing a helpful “tailwind” and slipping into a restrictive famine mindset, how to treat body weight as information rather than a verdict, and why there is no making up for yesterday—there is only taking care of yourself right now.This week's experiment: choose one emotion you're still learning to handle without eating, restricting, numbing, or escaping, and practice telling yourself, “This is a feeling I'm building confidence with.”New to the show?
