Podcasts about Reactivity

In this episode, Lisa talks with Maya Bundesen-Magier, occupational therapist, mother of two, and founder of MapMyMilk, a digital tool created to help breastfeeding families track maternal diet and infant symptoms with more clarity.Maya shares how her own experience with food reactivity in her babies led her to create a better way for families and providers to look for patterns without relying on fear, extreme elimination diets, or guesswork.Lisa and Maya cover the overlap between tongue tie symptoms and food reactivity, including reflux, fussiness, poor sleep, stool changes, breast refusal, and feeding discomfort. They also talk about why symptoms should not be viewed in isolation, and why a functional, whole-baby approach matters before assuming that one issue explains everything.This conversation highlights the importance of clinical integrity, individualized care, and using better tools to support breastfeeding families who are trying to understand what is really going on with their baby.In this episode, Lisa and Maya discuss:Why food reactivity and tongue tie symptoms can overlapHow MapMyMilk helps families track food intake and infant symptomsWhy extreme elimination diets can leave parents feeling afraid to eatThe importance of looking at patterns instead of guessingWhy a tongue tie release may not resolve symptoms if food reactivity is also presentThe role of IBCLCs and other trained providers in helping families sort through complex symptomsWhy data, clinical support, and individualized care matterFind out more at https://www.mapmymilk.com/ Use code TONGUETIE20 for 20% off either our monthly subscription (regularly $7.99) or lifetime access (regularly $54.99).More from Tongue Tie ExpertsExplore additional resources, including downloads, free guides, and links mentioned in this episode—along with access to our courses and new book:

We know we usually spend 80% of this podcast talking absolute nonsense and 20% dog training but this week we've flipped that on its head.Before we pack our bags for Perth, we sit down to answer some of the most complex behavioural questions we get. We tackle "The 3-Second Theory" of dog training. Do you actually have to deliver a consequence within three seconds, or can a solid marker system bridge the gap? And we also share our two cents on the psychology behind why dogs lash out when petting stopsBut don't worry, we still managed to derail. We argue over dress-code shoe colours, consume a highly questionable "Coke float" dessert, and spiral into an existential crisis about AI, virtual reality, and whether or not we are all just living in a simulation.Shout out to our sponsors: Twenty Two Eleven | VIP Car Sourcing - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/twentytwo_elevenvip/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Canine Carpenter | Dog Training Equipment UK | Handcrafted in Norfolk - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thecaninecarpenter?igsh=MW1rM2x4ZHQ2dDk0Zg==⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Text us your questions or topics for the show! We got you!Cass Morrow, Author of Disrupting Divorce: The NEW Man. Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.You always have too much to say. Too much to defend. Too much to justify. Too much to correct. And it never works. Here's why: the urgency to speak isn't coming from your power. It's coming from your insecurity. And the more you speak from that place, the more you lose ground. In Ep444 of The 'NEW' Marriage, Cass and Kathryn break down the art of silence as strength — what it actually means, why it's not erasure, and how it becomes the most powerful thing you can do in a marriage that feels out of control.

In this episode of Being Human with Steve Cuss, Steve and Clarissa Moll explore the concept of "life-giving habits" — intentional practices categorized into people, places, and activities that help reduce reactivity and deepen awareness of God's presence. Steve explains how building a personalized list of God-given pleasures, from micro-habits like holding a spouse's hand to larger experiences like fly fishing, transforms everyday moments into acts of worship and gratitude. The conversation highlights how these habits build resilience, support community, and transcend cultural boundaries, ultimately inviting listeners to recognize and receive God's gifts more intentionally.

In this episode of Pearls of Wisdom, I explore reactivity, what it is, where it comes from, and how learning to work with it can transform our lives and relationships.So much of what we call ‘stress,' conflict, or emotional pain begins with unconscious reactions. A comment, situation, or interaction triggers an energetic shift within us, and we often believe that something outside of us has ‘made' us feel a certain way.But, our reactions are not caused by something external, but are revealing something unresolved from the pastThis episode explores:How childhood conditioning shapes our reactionsWhy relationship acts as a mirrorThe connection between reactivity and old emotional woundsThe space between stimulus and responseHow breath and awareness can help us clear emotional reactionsWhy healing reactivity transforms both ourselves and our relationshipsThrough personal reflection and practical insight, I explore how every reaction can become an opportunity for awareness and healing.Because when we stop immediately acting out of our reactions and begin to witness them instead, something shifts, we create space.we heal the past, and we begin to respond from consciousness rather than conditioning.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Leonard Kaufman — board certified urologist and men's health physician with 25 years of experience practicing in South Florida. Dr. Kaufman specializes in urology, hormonal health, sexual health, and preventative men's health care, and he brings a level of warmth, honesty, and clinical depth to this conversation that you won't find anywhere else. We cover a lot of ground — from why reactive health care is costing men years of quality life, to what erectile dysfunction is really telling you about your cardiovascular health, to the TRT conversation every man in his 30s and 40s needs to hear before he walks into one of those clinics and shuts off his own fertility without knowing it. But this is not just a clinical episode. Dr. Kaufman is 33 years married, dad of three, and one of the most genuinely human guests we've had on this show. We talk about the deli where he met his wife in medical school, what 33 years of a real marriage actually looks like, how to build a home where your kids feel safe enough to tell you anything, and what his wife's early loss of her mother taught them both about not wasting time. If you've been putting off that appointment — this episode is the nudge you need.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Reactivity vs. proactivity — why waiting until something is broken is costing men their lives [2:09] What Dr. Kauffman sees when men come in too late — prostate cancer, ED as a cardiovascular warning sign, and diabetes [4:14] How Viagra accidentally revolutionized men's health — and why men started showing up to doctors for the first time [7:27] Dr. Kaufman's background — board certified urologist, 25 years, fellowship in male infertility and andrology, MBA in Health Management [9:00] How he met his wife Cindy — a deli, a list of phone numbers, and a blind date that turned into 33 years [11:52] The non-negotiables of a long marriage — trust, transparency, communication, and shared values [13:49] Seen, heard, and safe — the three things a woman and your kids need to feel in your home [16:29] Vulnerability is not weakness in marriage — it's the foundation of real trust and real connection [19:49] What men most commonly come to Dr. Kaufman for — ED, low testosterone, and prostate health [32:00] ED is the canary in the coal mine — penile arteries are the first to show restricted blood flow, which means something else is coming [33:36] Diet talk — why extreme diets backfire and what a urologist actually recommends for men's health [38:45] The labs every man should be getting — ApoB, cholesterol panel, PSA, and why most men aren't being fully evaluated [42:07] Total testosterone vs. free testosterone — what the current guidelines actually say [43:15] Why getting a testosterone baseline in your 30s is one of the smartest proactive health moves you can make [44:17] Clomid as an off-label option — how it helps men produce their own testosterone instead of shutting the system down [45:06] The risks of walking into a TRT clinic without proper evaluation — fertility, blood thickness, PSA changes, and chasing a number that may not fix anything [51:10] Prolactin — what it is, why it matters, and what a high level could actually mean for your brain   Five Key Takeaways Proactive health care is not weakness — it's how you stay around for your kids and grandkids. The men who wait until something is broken are the ones who look back and say "I should have come in a year ago." Erectile dysfunction is not just a bedroom problem. It's a cardiovascular warning sign. The smallest arteries in your body are affected first — and that means something bigger is building downstream. Before you walk into a TRT clinic, get a full workup from a qualified urologist. Young men are unknowingly shutting off their sperm production and permanently altering their pituitary axis without realizing it. Stop chasing the number. A man at 500 who feels great doesn't need to be pushed to 1,000. How you feel matters more than the number on the lab result. Safety is the foundation of everything — in your marriage and with your kids. When the people you love feel safe to bring you anything, it changes everything.   Links & Resources First Form Microfactor: https://1stphorm.com/products/micro-factor/?a_aid=dadedge First Form Level 1 Protein Powder: https://1stphorm.com/products/level-1/?a_aid=dadedge Dr. Leonard Kaufman's office: (954) 228-0924 Find Dr. Kaufman via MVP Men's Health: Search "Dr. Leonard Kaufman" at mvpmensclinic.com   https://www.mdvip.com/doctors/leonardkaufmanmd Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1475): https://thedadedge.com/1475   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: your health is not just about you — it's about being around for the people who need you most. Dr. Kaufman has spent 25 years watching men come in too late. Not because they didn't care, but because they were raised to believe that going to the doctor was weak. It's not weak. It's one of the most important acts of leadership a man can make. Get the labs. Know your numbers. And build the kind of home where the people you love feel safe enough to tell you the truth — because that's exactly what your doctor needs from you too. Go out and live legendary.

What if the smallest moments in your day are creating ripple effects you haven't even noticed yet?In this episode, Steph dives into the profound and often overlooked concept of impact, exploring how everyday actions shape the lives around us. She shares personal stories of transformation and breaks down why so many of us live in a state of automatic reactivity, driven by old habits instead of intention. Through a lens of awareness and personal growth, Steph encourages listeners to take ownership of how they show up and discover the freedom and joy that comes from living with purpose.In this episode you'll discover:The concept of impact in daily lifeThe role of awareness and intentionPersonal stories of transformationYour takeaways:Impact isn't reserved for big moments.

What if your reactivity isn't a failure… but a pattern your nervous system learned to keep you safe? In this powerful conversation, Wendy sits down with applied neurology and somatic practitioner, Elisabeth Kristof, to unpack why so many parents keep reacting in ways they don't want to, and why it's not their fault. They explore how trauma lives in the body as patterns, not just past events, and how your nervous system is constantly shaping your reactions before your logical brain has a chance to step in. From yelling and shutting down to overreacting or giving in, these responses often come from deeply wired survival loops. You'll also learn how emotional suppression keeps those patterns alive, and how simple, daily nervous system practices can begin to shift them. This episode is a hopeful reminder that you're not broken, you're wired, and with the right tools, you can create real, lasting change. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/320⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.

Crucial Moments: How Couples Can Navigate Triggers Without Destroying Connection Episode Overview What happens when a trigger hits in your relationship—and everything escalates? In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis break down what they call “crucial moments”—those intense emotional experiences where couples either move toward healing or fall back into painful patterns. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the same argument, feeling unheard, or overwhelmed by emotional reactions, this episode will help you understand why those patterns happen—and how to change them. Why Triggers Feel So Overwhelming When a trigger hits, your brain shifts into survival mode. The amygdala activates, your nervous system becomes dysregulated, and your ability to communicate effectively drops. This is why: Conversations escalate quickly You repeat the same arguments You feel misunderstood or dismissed Your partner becomes defensive or shuts down Key Insight: You cannot create connection when your body is in a fight-or-flight state. The Missing Step in Relationship Repair Most couples try to fix the relationship while they're emotionally flooded. Dr. Skinner emphasizes a critical principle: Stabilize yourself first. Then engage your partner. Without emotional regulation, even the best communication tools won't work. Common Mistakes Couples Make During Conflict Many couples unknowingly reinforce disconnection during triggers. Watch for these patterns: 1. Marathon Conversations Trying to resolve everything in one conversation while both partners are overwhelmed 2. Defensiveness Disguised as Empathy Statements like: “I didn't mean to hurt you” “I'm sorry you feel that way” These often feel minimizing instead of supportive 3. Relying Only on Your Partner for Regulation Expecting your partner to calm you down when they may also be triggered 4. Repeating the Same Cycle Having the same argument over and over without new tools or awareness How to Respond in Triggered Moments (What Actually Works) 1. Pause and Regulate Before responding, ask yourself: Am I emotionally stable right now? Is my body calm enough to have this conversation? If not, step away and regulate first. 2. Use Outside Support Sometimes your partner is not the right person in that moment to help you regulate. Consider: A trusted friend A support group A mentor or sponsor This can help you return to the conversation with clarity. 3. Shift from Reactivity to Curiosity Instead of reacting, try: “Help me understand what you're experiencing” “Tell me more about what you're feeling” This lowers defensiveness and builds connection. 4. Take Responsibility for Your Emotional Response Your emotions are valid—but how you express them matters. Healthy communication includes: Emotional honesty Self-awareness Respectful expression Understanding the Power Struggle in Relationships After betrayal or disconnection, couples often fall into power imbalances: One partner holds information or control The other feels uncertain, hurt, or reactive True healing requires moving away from: “One-up / one-down” dynamics And toward: Mutual honesty, vulnerability, and accountability Why Some Couples Stay Stuck for Years If you feel like you're not making progress, it's often due to: Incomplete or staggered disclosure Lack of emotional regulation skills Repeating patterns without addressing root issues Avoiding deeper vulnerability Key Insight: Without new skills, the same patterns will continue—no matter how much you talk. A Better Way Forward Healing doesn't come from saying more—it comes from learning how to show up differently. That includes: Regulating your nervous system Communicating with clarity and compassion Practicing new patterns consistently Building emotional safety over time Key Takeaways You cannot be relational when you are emotionally dysregulated Personal stabilization is the foundation of relationship repair Triggers require skillful responses, not reactive ones Both partners play a role in creating change Progress comes from practice, not just insight Resources Mentioned in This Episode Intimacy Repair Method (IRM) Course Emotional Regulation & Nervous System Awareness Structured Disclosure Process Role Play Practice for Communication Skills Call to Action If your relationship feels stuck in repetitive conflict, you don't have to keep guessing. The Intimacy Repair Method Course provides a step-by-step process to help couples: Rebuild trust Improve communication Create lasting emotional connection

Originally aired August 4, 2022. In this episode Eckhart talks about the importance of finding stillness. He says we are never more ourselves than when we are still. Eckhart then answers questions about what we can expect during the stages of awakening. He says as we become more conscious, we learn to respond rather than react to conflict. Eckhart explains we may feel the emotion, but it doesn't take us over because ego diminishes as we step into the light of presence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The second talk in a weeklong retreat.  We often assume insight arises from calm, clarity, or deep concentration. But in truth, it is often born in the very moments we want to escape. This talk invites a radical reframe: what if restlessness, doubt, and emotional turbulence are not problems to solve—but the precise conditions for awakening? Together, we'll explore how mindful investigation transforms reactivity into understanding, and how even the most difficult inner states can become gateways to freedom.   Through practical instruction and reflection, you'll explore how to investigate experience without turning practice into a subtle self-improvement project, how to shift from "my problem" to unfolding process, and how insight naturally gives way to a deep, effortless rest. As understanding deepens, something unexpected emerges—a quiet recognition that nothing needs to be fixed for freedom to be here.

What if the most powerful parenting tool you had… was a pause? In this episode, Wendy dives into one of the most life-changing skills a parent can learn, how to interrupt reactive patterns in the moment and choose a different way forward. If you've ever felt yourself snap, yell, or say something you wish you could take back, this conversation will meet you with both honesty and hope. Because reactivity isn't a character flaw, it's a nervous system response. And when you learn how to work with your body instead of against it, everything begins to shift. Wendy walks you through what it actually looks like to “hit the reset button” in real time, how to create space between trigger and response, and why this one skill can transform the way your kids experience you. This is about becoming a parent who leads with intention, even in the hardest moments. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/318⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.

A message from Our Lead Pastor Randy Dane.

Zach is traveling this week, so this episode features his guest appearance on the Sexology Podcast with Dr. Nazanin Moali.Zach joins Dr. Nazanin Moali on the Sexology Podcast for a conversation about how the emotional climate of a relationship directly shapes what happens (or doesn't happen) in the bedroom. The focus is Negative Sentiment Override, a concept from John Gottman's research that describes what happens when couples get stuck in a pattern where even neutral or well-meaning moments get filtered through a lens of criticism, contempt, or defensiveness. It's the kind of thing that quietly erodes connection without either partner fully understanding why.The conversation covers how positive and negative emotional filters work, why a simple comment about pasta can become a full-blown conflict when trust is low, and how gender socialization plays into desire patterns in ways most couples never talk about. Zach and Dr. Moali also talk about the gap between impulse and response, the role of personal responsibility in conflict, and why contempt carries a particular kind of poison because it comes wrapped in a feeling of superiority.What makes this conversation worth your time is the way it connects relational safety to sexual vulnerability. If your relationship feels charged, tense, or emotionally distant, that almost always shows up in your intimate life too. Zach and Dr. Moali reframe what sex is actually for in a long-term relationship and make the case for scheduling erotic play and expanding what intimacy can look like. It's practical, grounded, and refreshingly honest.Key TakeawaysNegative Sentiment Override means your partner's neutral actions start getting interpreted through a filter of criticism or hostility, and it happens gradually enough that you may not notice.Emotional safety is the foundation of sexual vulnerability. If it doesn't feel safe to be honest in the kitchen, it won't feel safe to be honest in the bedroom.The "pasta example" is a good litmus test: if your partner makes dinner and your first internal response is irritation rather than gratitude, your filter may have shifted negative.Contempt is uniquely damaging because it comes with a sense of superiority. It's not just anger; it's the belief that you're better than your partner.Gender socialization shapes desire in ways most couples never discuss openly, and those unspoken patterns create misunderstandings that look like rejection.Slowing down the space between impulse and response is one of the most powerful things you can do for your relationship. Reactivity is the enemy of repair.Taking personal responsibility in conflict is not about taking blame. It's about owning your part of the dynamic so something can actually shift.Scheduling erotic play and broadening what counts as intimacy helps couples move past the pressure of performance and back toward genuine connection.Guest InfoThis episode is a guest appearance by Zach on the Sexology Podcast.Host: Dr. Nazanin Moali, clinical psychologist and host of the Sexology Podcast Website: sexologypodcast.com Instagram: @sexologypodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep. 228 (Part 1 of 2) | In part 1 of our second What is Real Greatness Series podcast, Margaret Cullen, author of the newly published book Quiet Strength: Find Peace, Feel Alive, and Love Boundlessly Through the Power of Equanimity, explains there is far more power in the virtue of equanimity than we may have thought. Because equanimity is associated with non-reactivity, people often confuse it with a neutral sort of feeling, a dampener of emotions, when actually, equanimity allows us to expand our capacity to feel; it widens our tolerance and empowers us to be comfortable with change. “Equanimity is big enough to include our broken, despairing hearts,” Margaret says. “We can hold a vision of equanimity that is completely inclusive of the human experience.” Practicing equanimity allows us to deepen our love—for the world and for others—without becoming attached.Margaret shares practical ways we can access equanimity—ways we can achieve conceptual clarity or a “wedge of spaciousness” when a moment has been hijacked by out-of-control emotions; how we can learn to turn directly and fully to what is arising in the moment; and how we can unhook from reactivity by not taking things too personally. “How can we respond heroically to the times we live in?” co-host John Dupuy asks. Margaret shares what she has learned teaching military units and special forces to cultivate equanimity—equanimity can save lives—and describes a compassion cultivation training program that has been established for police officers in California. Takeaways from this discussion may have important, powerful, timely effects on your life—and all of our lives; as John put it, “Never before have we had such a need for the medicine Margaret brings us.” Recorded January 14, 2026.“How do we care about this world that is in so much trouble without feeling overwhelmed? The answer is equanimity.“Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing podcast #2 in our What is Real Greatness Series with Margaret Cullen, psychotherapist, meditation & compassion cultivation trainer, author of Quiet Strength: Find Peace, Feel Alive, and Love Boundlessly Through the Power of Equanimity (00:48)What is equanimity and how did Margaret begin to experience it?

Conflict is part of being human. Disconnection happens. Emotional ruptures are unavoidable in close relationships. What truly matters is not whether rupture occurs, but how we return to each other after it. In this episode, host Gloria Lybecker & co-host Gail Donohue explore the tender, often misunderstood process of repairing emotional rifts and why true repair begins not with words, but with the nervous system. This conversation invites you to slow down and examine the difference between reactivity and resonance. Throughout the episode, Gail and Gloria draw from lived experience, interpersonal neurobiology, nervous system education, and relational healing work to show how emotional rupture can become a pathway to deeper trust. Whether you are a therapist, coach, healer, parent, partner, or simply someone committed to emotional growth, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate approach to repairing connection—without bypassing your own nervous system needs.

What if working harder is actually holding you back from creating your biggest impact as a leader? Most of us were taught that grinding, hustling, and saying "yes" to everything is how we elevate our leadership. But what if I told you that's the trap? So many leaders, maybe even you, feel pulled to give more, do more, be more, hoping it's a fast-track to greater results. But what if the breakthrough you're craving comes from letting go of chasing quantity over quality, wearing busyness like a badge, and believing your wellbeing is negotiable? When you start to honor your unique strengths, draw clear boundaries around your energy, and invest in your balance, everything changes. Your impact expands. Your confidence grows. You lead, not from depletion, but from deep conviction and presence, and people can feel it. Imagine trading exhaustion and overwhelm for clarity, energy, and influence that ripples through your team and your life. That shift is more than possible. It's yours when you choose it. My guest, Mike Miles, and I get to the heart of why real leadership impact isn't about doing more. It's about changing how you do it and honoring the incredible human inside the leader. This episode is your nudge to step off the hamster wheel and courageously embrace your full humanity as the source of your greatest power. The moment you put these insights into practice, you'll start to notice the tension ease, your creativity spark, and your sense of purpose strengthen. You'll see that you really can have an extraordinary impact without burning out or missing the life you want to lead. This can be your turning point—the moment you choose leadership that's sustainable, impactful, and true to YOU. I can't wait to see you step into that transformation.   Transformational Takeaways (00:00) The Leadership Trap: Why Working Harder Doesn't Elevate Your Impact (05:58) Are You Chasing Quantity or Quality?

When behaviour begins in the bodyWhen a dog struggles with anxiety, impulsivity, or reactivity, the conversation almost always starts with training.But what if behaviour doesn't only begin with what we see on the outside? What if part of the story begins inside the body - in the gut, the nervous system, and the nutrients that shape them both?In this episode, I'm joined by fellow canine nutrition consultant and behaviour professional Sam van Eggermond for a fascinating conversation exploring the emerging connections between nutrition, the gut microbiome, and behaviour in dogs.Sam's journey into this work began in shelters and rescue environments, supporting dogs with complex behavioural challenges. Over time, she started noticing patterns. Many of the dogs struggling most with anxiety, impulsivity, or reactivity were also dealing with digestive issues, sensitivities, or diets that simply weren't supporting their physiology.Those observations sparked a deeper investigation into nutrition and the gut microbiome - as well as a critical look at some of the research shaping behaviour advice today.In this conversation, Sam brings both curiosity and nuance to a rapidly evolving field. Together, we explore how behaviour might sometimes be a biological signal as much as a training challenge, and why supporting the body can be an important part of supporting the mind.In this episode we exploreSam's early work in shelters and rescues, and how it shaped her approach to behaviour and nutrition• The patterns she began noticing between digestive health and behavioural challenges• How nutrition and the gut microbiome may influence stress, mood, and emotional regulation in dogs• Why some studies on diet and behaviour deserve closer scrutiny• Questions guardians can begin asking when their dog is struggling with anxiety or reactivity• The vision behind the UK Centre for Canine Reactivity and Aggression dedicated to supporting dogs with complex behaviours, and the guardians who love themTo learn more and connect with Sam:https://www.ukccra.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/ukcaninereactivity/https://www.instagram.com/feedingcaninebehaviour/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576355878714Connect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

Do you ever feel like there's a relentless critic living inside your head?   The one that questions your worth, second-guesses your decisions, and tells you that you're not enough — as a husband, father, or leader?   In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Ashleigh Di Lello, founder of Bio Emotional Healing, to unpack the neuroscience behind the inner critic, self-sabotage, chronic stress, and identity. Ashleigh shares her extraordinary story — from being told at 13 she wouldn't survive a rare viral illness, to rebuilding her body and career as an elite dancer, to losing everything again after a failed surgery left her in chronic pain. What she discovered about the brain, the nervous system, and self-compassion doesn't just apply to injury — it applies to every man stuck in anxiety, pressure, and silent self-judgment.   This isn't about positive thinking. It's about understanding how your nervous system works, how identity is formed, and how to rewire the patterns that keep you reactive, disconnected, and exhausted. If you're tired of white-knuckling life and ready for real tools grounded in neuroscience, this episode is for you.     Timeline Summary [0:00] The inner critic most men silently battle [2:05] Ashleigh's diagnosis at 13 and being told she wouldn't survive [18:45] Using mental rehearsal to rebuild neural pathways [26:43] Losing her career after a failed surgery [30:45] Studying neuroscience to "flip the pain switch" [35:12] What harsh self-criticism does to the brain [44:16] The five-minute "container" exercise [59:06] Rewriting identity through intentional self-talk     Five Key Takeaways Harsh self-criticism activates fight-or-flight and blocks growth. Self-compassion is neurological safety — not weakness. Your brain validates whatever identity you reinforce. You can't lie to your brain, but you can guide it. What you suppress gains power — structured processing creates freedom.   Links & Resources: Ashleigh Di Lello Website: https://www.ashleighdilello.com Follow Ashleigh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighdilello/ Collagen (1st Phorm – what I personally use): https://1stphorm.com/products/collagen-with-dermaval/?a_aid=dadedge Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Business Boardroom (Mastermind): https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Episode Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1443     Closing Remark If this episode hit home — if you recognized that voice in your head — I challenge you to try the five-minute container exercise this week.

Why do so many relationships, despite the best intentions, end up stuck in cycles of hurt, disappointment, or disconnection? We search for "the one," hope for a soulmate to fulfill us, and cling to romantic ideals—even as we find ourselves repeating old patterns and feeling powerless when things get tough. The real challenge, it seems, isn't just finding love, but learning how to nurture it consciously and responsibly. What if the secret isn't about changing others, but transforming how we relate, both to ourselves and to our loved ones? In this episode, discover how to break free from the unconscious habits that sabotage intimacy, shift out of victim mindsets, and reclaim your personal power within relationships. Learn why conscious love is an ongoing practice—not just a feeling—and explore actionable principles for moving past reactivity into mature, collaborative connection. Through insights on emotional intelligence, responsibility, healing past wounds, and embracing vulnerability, you'll gain tools to create deeper, more authentic bonds and turn your relationship into a dynamic space for growth.

What is mindfulness really? According to one fourth-grader, "Not hitting someone in the mouth." Legendary meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg joins Rick and Forrest to discuss how we can work skillfully with anger, fear, and reactivity without becoming doormats or numbing ourselves out through the lens of her new children's book Kind Karl. They explore the protective function of anger, and how we can create more space by relating differently to our thoughts, emotions, and sense of self. Sharon shares a Buddhist lens that links anger and fear, and how looking closely at “what's in the anger” can help us get clarity without collateral damage. Along the way, they talk about the difference between healthy moral anger and the habit of anger, how to extract the positive energy from difficult emotions without getting burned, and how lovingkindness and self-compassion can be active, strengthening forces.  About our Guest: Sharon Salzberg is the co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society, a world-renowned teacher of mindfulness, and author or co-author of 14 books including her seminal work Lovingkindness and her first children's book Kind Karl: A Little Crocodile with Big Feelings.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Ido Portal, a movement coach and world expert on human movement. We explore the science and practice of movement, including how the nervous system shapes our actions, the distinction between reflexive and deliberate movement patterns and how emotion and awareness influence our movement. Ido shares how to build a holistic movement practice into everyday life through an exploration-based approach grounded in playfulness and self-inquiry.

Rich Harris joins the podcast to discuss his talk, fine-grained everything, exploring fine-grained reactivity, frontend performance, and the real costs of React Server Components and RSC payloads. Rich explains how Svelte and SvelteKit approach co-located data fetching, remote functions, and RPC to reduce server-side rendering costs, improve developer experience, and avoid unnecessary performance overhead on mobile networks. The conversation dives into async rendering, parallel async data fetching, type safety with schema validation, and why async-first frameworks may define the future of JavaScript frameworks and web performance. Links X: https://x.com/Rich_Harris Github: https://github.com/rich-harris Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/rich-harris.dev Resources Modern front-end frameworks like Svelte are astonishingly fast at rendering, thanks to techniques such as signal-based fine-grained reactivity. But there's more to performance than updating the screen at 60 frames per second. In this talk, we'll learn about new approaches that help you build fast, reliable, data-efficient apps.
