Send us Fan MailWhat if everything you've been told about change, motivation, and stress is missing the most important piece — your brain?This week I'm joined by Lisa Riegel, educator by training, strategist by practice, and someone who has dedicated her career to translating brain science into language and tools that actually help people feel more self-aware, regulated, and in control. Lisa is the creator of the NeuroWell Framework and the Aspirations to Operations Commitment Framework, and whether she's working with Fortune 500 leaders, school systems, or individuals navigating their own lives, her message is the same: real change starts in the brain.In this conversation we cover so much ground, and I think you're going to find it as accessible and practical as I did. We talk about:Why 80% of the thinking happening in your brain right now is unconscious — and what that means for your behavior, your reactions, and your relationshipsMeet Bob and Harold — Lisa's brilliant, accessible way of explaining how your amygdala and thalamus work together to filter reality and trigger your stress responseThe four states of wakefulness (calm, alert, alarm, fear) and exactly what happens neurologically when you burn outWhy change is so hard — and why most change initiatives, in organizations and in our personal lives, fail before they even beginThe difference between outcome goals and action goals, and why that distinction is everythingWhy we don't know what our body feels like when we're happy — and a simple morning practice to start changing thatThe power of identifying not just what stresses you out, but why — and how uncovering the underlying fear gives you genuine self-controlWhy celebration is the most underused and misunderstood tool in leadership, parenting, and self-developmentHow to create your own resilient inner bubble in a world that feels increasingly out of controlLisa brings so much warmth and wisdom to this conversation, and her ability to take complex brain science and make it feel immediately usable is truly a gift. This one is for the leaders, the parents, the burnout survivors, and anyone who has ever wondered why they keep reacting in ways they don't intend to.Resources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

What happens when you combine positive qualities on purpose? In this episode, I explore the idea of stacking positive qualities for a synergistic effect and how certain pairings can support more meaningful and sustainable change. Rather than relying on willpower or rigid habit hacks, I'm sharing a more flexible and compassionate approach to working with difficult habits and patterns.         I walk through different combinations of positive qualities and how they can help with struggles like overwhelm, procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, and going after big goals. You'll see how certain qualities can work together in ways that create more support, perspective, and momentum when change feels difficult.           You'll be encouraged to think about which positive qualities already come naturally to you and how you might intentionally combine them to support a habit or challenge in your own life. By experimenting with different pairings, you may discover new ways to approach change that feel far more supportive and effective than simply trying harder.                      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/225           Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

Why do smart, capable people ignore advice they genuinely believe is good for them? In this episode, Joy Slabaugh—a CFP® and Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist—joins the conversation to explore why behavior change rarely comes from better information alone. Joy explains how IFS helps financial planners understand the internal conflicts people experience around money, and why working with “parts” often succeeds where logic, pressure, and persuasion fail. The discussion reframes the advisor's role—not as fixing or convincing—but as facilitating self-led clarity, trust, and follow-through, offering a powerful framework that benefits both the people seeking help and the professionals who serve them. #financialtherapy, #behavioralfinance, #moneymindset, #internalfamilysystems, #IFStherapy, #moneypsychology, #financialplanning, #advisorlife, #clientbehavior, #behaviorchange, #emotionalintelligence, #selfleadership, #mindsetmatters, #moneyhabits, #financialwellness, #trusttheprocess, #innerwork, #clientrelationships, #financialadvisor, #psychologyofmoney, #decisionmaking, #humanbehavior, #moneycoaching, #professionaldevelopment, #advisorypractice A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

SHOW NOTES DESCRIPTION: You have tried harder. You have read the books, made the commitments, restarted the plan, and believed — genuinely believed — that this time would be different. And yet, five years later, you are looking at the same patterns, the same walls, the same version of yourself you were trying to leave behind. The failure is not a motivation problem. It is not a willpower problem. It is something deeper, something that the self-help industry cannot name because naming it would dismantle the entire enterprise. Dr. Henry Cloud joins me for his third conversation on Win Today, and what he brings to the table this time is a confrontation with one of the most quietly destructive lies inside Christian growth culture: that knowledge is enough, that effort is enough, that the right tips applied with sufficient sincerity will eventually produce the life you want. Cloud dismantles that lie at the root. He explains why strength always begins in weakness, why your limitations are not obstacles to your growth but the very doorway through it, and why the passage everyone quotes — "the truth shall set you free" — has been systematically separated from the condition that precedes it. We also go deep into the relational patterns that quietly destroy families, churches, and teams: the victim-rescuer-persecutor triangle and how triangulation turns ordinary conflict into a cycle of division no one can escape from the inside. And Cloud offers one of the sharpest cultural diagnoses I have heard in years — on what the word "triggered" has come to mean and why its inflation is itself a sign of something unhealed. If you have been doing the work but not getting anywhere, this conversation will name what is actually going on underneath the surface. But it will not let you stay comfortable in the naming. Something is required of you: not more effort, but a different kind of openness — the kind that begins with admitting you cannot do this alone. Guest Bio Dr. Henry Cloud is a clinical psychologist, leadership consultant, and New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose books have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. His work integrates psychological science and biblical wisdom to address the deepest patterns that keep people and organizations from genuine growth. He consults with CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, and high-net-worth family offices, and he is the founder of drcloud.com, which hosts his personal growth platform.

This episode of the show is about America, ultimately. We're joined by Cristina Jimínez, author of the memoir Dreaming of Home: How We Turn Fear into Pride, Power, and Real Change and MacArthur genius grant recipient for a discussion of mental health in the immigrant and undocumented immigrant communities in light of events like the ICE surge, 9/11, and January 6th. Cristina fled Ecuador with her family when she was 13, landed in Queens, and, despite a lot of complicating factors having to do with legal status, went to college and graduate school. She was one of the founders of the advocacy group United We Dream, was a key player in the passage of DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and was awarded a MacArthur genius grant. Cristina talks about the anxiety and depression that hangs heavily in vulnerable populations and also why she's actually incredibly optimistic and hopeful, even in these seemingly bleak times, because of how citizens responded to ICE in Minnesota.

In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Podcast, Maurice Harker breaks down a powerful truth: faith alone isn't enough—you have to pair it with real effort and intentional action.This episode explores how the Holy Ghost actually works in everyday life—not as a shortcut, but as a divine tutor that helps you remember, understand, and apply what you've already put in. Maurice explains why many people hope for change without doing the necessary work—and how combining study, repetition, and spiritual guidance leads to real transformation.You'll also hear meaningful examples of how hope, trust, and willingness to act invite divine help, even when you feel unqualified or unsure.

In Part 1 of this series, we explored why insight alone isn't enough to create real change in gay men's lives — even for those who are highly self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and deeply reflective. So what actually does work? In Part 2, Ken Howard, LCSW, CST, moves beyond theory and into real-world application. This episode focuses on the practical side of personal growth: how to translate insight into concrete, repeatable behaviors that lead to meaningful change. Instead of trying to "fix everything," Ken introduces a more realistic and effective approach — replacing old patterns with small, intentional actions that build over time. This episode explores: Why change requires replacement, not just awareness How to interrupt emotional and behavioral loops in real time The role of structure, delay, and intentional choice in breaking compulsive patterns Why "partial wins" matter more than perfection How to reduce isolation through small, manageable social actions The difference between motivation and movement How self-respect is built through behavior, not just mindset Ken also walks through specific, real-life examples of how to replace common patterns, including: compulsive app use → meaningful connection urgency and impulsivity → structure and delay emotional numbing → purposeful action self-criticism → self-respect through follow-through isolation → low-pressure social engagement If you've ever felt like you know what's going on in your life — but still struggle to change it — this episode offers a clear and grounded path forward. Because at a certain point, growth isn't about understanding more. It's about living differently.

Tonya Comer's story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose.From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States.Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation.

She believes that when a woman heals from shame and self-doubt and rises into wholeness and self-love, everything around her transforms. Her life becomes an extension of her truth. Her relationships deepen. Her leadership expands. Her work opens to something greater than the grind—it opens to purpose and service.In High Heels on a Ladder: The 7 Power Tools for Designing Your Life is more than a book.

If you've ever understood exactly why you do something, and then did it anyway (again), then this episode is for you.I spent nearly 2 decades doing genuine, deep, inner work. Therapy, somatic practices, learning, even helping clients. I could name every wound, explain every pattern, and still spent years trying to 'get out of my own way'. Feeling at odds with different parts of myself.So, let's dive deep about the paradox of being a deeply self-aware person who still self-sabotages. Why awareness alone isn't the mechanism of change. What's actually happening in your nervous system while you're busy being frustrated that nothing is changing. And what I finally learned was 'the thing' that moves the needle.

Sunday Morning Message | 2 Corinthians 5:16-19 | May 3, 2026

When we are desperate for change we so quickly run to "religion" (our human efforts at reaching the divine and changing our behavior). It gives us an illusion of control. And in some cases, when our religion is really hard, it provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment, not to mention attention and praise from others. The book of Colossians tells us that even Jesus followers can twist their faith into a human religion. But this week, Paul will tell us that we have all we need in the resurrection of Jesus. This week we are going to explore the simple and surprising pathway to real change (hint: it isn't human religion).

In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Podcast, Maurice Harker introduces a powerful concept: you don't drift into a meaningful life—you design it intentionally.Centered on the idea of “composing your life,” this episode teaches how to move from reacting to circumstances → actively creating a life built on purpose, identity, and growth. Maurice explains how vision, identity statements, and intentional planning work together to help you move away from unwanted behaviors and toward a more meaningful, even “miraculous,” way of living.You'll also learn how to use principles like beginning with the end in mind and seeking to be part of miracles as a framework for building a life you actually want.

On Tuesday, April 21, Congressional candidates, Shannon Bird (CO-8), Mayor Paige Cognetti (PA-8), and Nancy Lacore (SC-1), shared relatable stories in a powerful discussion moderated by Alli Peters of Majority Democrats‬. From voters struggling with rising costs and deepening distrust in government to a growing sense that leaders have lost touch, no issue was off the table. The candidates pointed to stark examples—a senior forced to choose between groceries and medical care, and communities demanding greater transparency—to underscore a consistent message: the country is facing a dual crisis of affordability and accountability.Each candidate emphasized practical leadership rooted in service—whether balancing budgets, defending democratic institutions, or putting people over special interests. They pushed back on extremism and highlighted the need to rebuild trust through responsiveness and results.The throughline: change won't come from Washington alone. Citizens are urged to take action—engage locally, support candidates who reflect their values, stay informed, and speak up consistently.The stakes are real, and so is the opportunity—this moment demands participation, not spectatorship.Check out BigTentUSA's ACT NOW page:https://bigtentusa.org/act-now/Learn more about Shannon Bird's campaign:https://shannonbird.com/Learn more about Paige Cognetti's campaign:https://paigeforpa.com/Learn more about Nancy Lacore's campaign:https://www.nancylacore.com/Check out the Majority Dems organization:https://majoritydemocrats.com/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Shannon Bird, raised by a hardworking single mother and grandmother, understands the struggles families face and is committed to fighting for hardworking Coloradans. After a career in law and public service, she became a strong advocate for equitable education and community empowerment. In the Colorado State House, she has fought for job creation, small businesses, reproductive rights, and climate action. Now, she is running for Congress in Colorado's Eighth District to defend democracy and ensure Colorado remains a place where everyone can achieve their dreams.Mayor Paige Cognetti has built her career on making government more accountable, transparent, and responsive. After uncovering corruption as a state auditor and serving on the Scranton School Board, she ran for mayor in 2019 as an Independent and won, becoming the city's first woman mayor. In office, she has taken on special interests, eliminated waste, restored finances to investment grade, secured over $155 million in funding, and driven economic growth. She is now running for Congress to bring that commitment to Washington.Nancy Lacore served for 35 years in the Navy, beginning as a helicopter pilot and rising to three-star admiral and Chief of Navy Reserve, leading more than 60,000 sailors. Her career took her around the world, grounded in family and a deep love of country. Following her father's footsteps, she earned an ROTC scholarship to the College of the Holy Cross and was commissioned after graduation. She and her husband Pat, also a Navy pilot, have been married 30 years and raised six children with a strong sense of service.Alli Peters is Chief Digital Officer at Majority Democrats and a director and editor based between Los Angeles and Madison, Wisconsin.

Guest Ashley Jablow (Jab-lo, pronouns: she/her) is the founder of Wayfinders Collective and creator of Life Design School, a creative studio for people in career and life transition. A seasoned facilitator, speaker, coach, and design strategist, Ashley blends design thinking and innovation, emotional intelligence, and creative tools to spark clarity and action for teams and individuals navigating change. She's also the artist and author of 100 Days of Designing My Life, a guided journal series for reflection and reinvention, and the creator of "The Little Deck of Sweet Reflections", an intuitive card deck to inspire your creativity, connect with your inner wisdom, and reflect on who you are becoming. Summary In this conversation, Ashley reflects on the pivotal career transitions that shaped her work as a coach, facilitator, and innovation practitioner. She describes several moments of feeling "stuck," including graduating from business school without a job, working in prestigious roles at IDEO and the White House during the Barack Obama administration, and later being unexpectedly laid off from what she believed was her dream job. Rather than viewing those experiences as failures, Ashley explains how they became turning points that led her toward coaching and helping others navigate difficult transitions. A central theme of the discussion is the relationship between reflection and action. Ashley argues that meaningful change requires both deep self-understanding and practical movement forward. Drawing from her background in coaching and design thinking, she describes how innovation, creativity, and human-centered leadership intersect. For her, reflection without action leads nowhere, while action without reflection risks solving the wrong problem. The conversation also explores leadership development, trust, vulnerability, and the challenge leaders face in shifting from doing the work themselves to empowering others. Ashley emphasizes that the "people stuff" — culture, trust, communication, and values — must be addressed before productive organizational change can happen. She closes with an important reminder: when people feel stuck, creativity, play, and joy are not distractions but essential pathways to movement and renewal. Ultimately, our conversation highlights the grit, interdependence, and adaptability required to survive in the historic West. A key takeaway Being stuck is not a dead end but often the beginning of transformation. Real progress comes from pairing honest self-reflection with concrete action, while staying grounded in humanity, trust, and joy.

How Do You Know You're Making Progress After Betrayal? Understanding Safety, Awareness, and Real Change In this episode of The Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn explore one of the most common—and emotionally loaded—questions couples ask after betrayal: *“How do we know if we're actually making progress?”* Healing doesn't follow a straight line. Many couples feel stuck in a painful cycle of “two steps forward, three steps back,” leaving them wondering if anything is truly changing. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn break down what real progress looks like—not through checklists or surface behaviors, but through a deeper, more meaningful shift: **perceived relational safety**. They discuss how the body plays a central role in detecting safety through what is often called a “gut feeling,” drawing on concepts like neuroception from Stephen Porges. Listeners will learn why healing requires more than logical reassurance—and why the nervous system must begin to *feel* safe before true connection can return. Through a powerful role-play, they demonstrate the difference between reactive, defensive conversations and regulated, productive ones. This real-life example highlights how self-awareness, emotional regulation, and vulnerability can transform conflict into connection. They also address: Why some betrayed partners struggle to trust even when their partner is “doing everything right” The impact of shock versus gradual awareness in discovery How deception can distort one's internal sense of safety Why stabilization must come before meaningful repair How consistency—not perfection—builds trust over time Ultimately, progress is not measured by the absence of conflict, but by how couples navigate it. When both partners develop awareness of their internal experiences and learn to communicate those experiences safely, healing becomes not only possible—but measurable. If you've ever questioned whether your relationship is moving forward, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a roadmap for what real progress actually looks like. Key Resources & Mentions The Intimacy Repair Method (IRM)   A structured approach to healing after betrayal, focusing on safety, stabilization, and rebuilding connection. Perceived Relational Safety Scale (PRSS)   A practical assessment tool to help individuals and couples measure how safe they feel in the relationship and track progress over time. Polyvagal Theory & Neuroception – Polyvagal Theory   Developed by Stephen Porges, this framework explains how the nervous system detects safety or threat and influences connection and emotional regulation. HumanIntimacy.com   Access courses, assessments, and resources to support healing and relationship repair. 12-Week Intimacy Repair Course   A guided program with role-plays, assessments, and step-by-step instruction to help couples rebuild trust and connection. --- Key Takeaway Progress isn't about doing everything perfectly—it's about creating consistent, safe, and honest interactions where both partners can begin to feel, not just think, that change is happening.

Okay… this conversation is one of those that just stays with you. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Daniel Zinnel, and we're diving into something I know so many of us wrestle with—why change can feel so hard… even when we really want it. Because here's the thing… we've been taught that change comes from trying harder, being more disciplined, or just getting more motivated. But what if that's not actually how it works? We get into the deeper layers—identity, belonging, fear, and the internal work that actually leads to meaningful growth. And wow… it's powerful. Daniel shares his story growing up in small-town Iowa, navigating adversity, and how those experiences shaped the way he leads, sets goals, and creates impact in the world today. We talk about: Why real change often starts with identity (not effort) How doing inner work can unlock clearer, more aligned goals The role of relationships, trust, and psychological safety in growth Why ambiguity (yes, the uncomfortable in-between) is actually where the magic happens How bold, meaningful goals often emerge instead of being forced One of my favorite parts? This idea that you don't have to hustle your way into becoming someone new… you can root yourself in who you already are and grow from there. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated with your goals, or like you're doing all the “right” things but not seeing change, this episode is going to hit. Trust me… you're going to walk away thinking about your goals in a completely different way.

Most self-help advice puts understanding before action — figure out why you're stuck, heal from your past, then start moving. But what if that order is exactly backwards? In this episode, we dig into why real change almost always starts with movement, not insight, and what that means for the areas of your life where you've been waiting to feel ready.

You've probably been in a conversation about race that went nowhere. Everyone was careful, no one was honest, and nothing changed. This episode is about why that keeps happening, and how to break through it. We had guest Bayanne Elkhatib MS, LPC-A (the Texas Therapist) on the mic to help us get to the root of what makes these conversations so uncomfortable, what we're really asking when we call something a preference, and where the line between preference and prejudice actually falls. Text to get in touch!Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and share!

Y'all… if you've ever set a goal and thought, “Why isn't this actually changing anything?” This episode is going to hit a little different. Today, I'm joined by my husband (and favorite conversation partner), and we're diving into something I don't think we talk about enough in the goal-setting space: What if the way we think about change is incomplete? We're bringing in insights from communication studies, rhetoric, and performance research—fields that don't usually show up in personal development, but honestly should. Because when you're setting bold goals, what you're really trying to do is create change and change is not as simple as setting the goal and following the plan. In this episode, we talk about: why most goal-setting advice misses how change actually works the difference between incremental change and disruptive change why small steps work sometimes… and sometimes they don't how disruption can unlock real transformation what it means to “make the invisible visible” in your planning process why planning is not just about time management, but awareness how your identity and community shape whether you follow through the surprising downside of sharing your goals publicly why support systems matter more than motivation how to think about “we goals,” not just “me goals” We also share real examples—from global social movements to everyday life—that show how change actually happens when something finally sticks. If you're in a season where you're setting big goals, trying to follow through, and wanting to grow without losing yourself in the process, this episode will give you a completely different lens. Because it's not just about what you do. It's about what you make visible, who you do it with, and whether your life actually supports the change you're trying to create.

Send us Fan MailReal community change rarely fails because people do not care. It fails because leadership gets reduced to titles, meetings turn into status updates, and “helping” unintentionally reinforces the very conditions we are trying to change.We sit down with Gabrielle Hawkins Stewart, a consultant and facilitator who brings systems theory, racial equity practice, and a poverty-informed, trauma-informed lens to nonprofit and community coalitions. Gabrielle shares the story behind Changemakers Leadership Institute and why she treats leadership as both science and art: evidence-based tools paired with reflection on how we show up, how our choices land, and what our behavior makes possible for other people.From there, we get practical. Gabrielle breaks down the core traits of effective community leaders: being thoughtful and purposeful, collaborating without clinging to control, protecting the people doing the work while staying unapologetic about the mission, and role modeling values when it is hardest. We also unpack why systems change is so difficult to explain and implement, and why language matters when communities talk about poverty, “neglect,” and impact.If you lead a nonprofit, facilitate coalition work, or want better community meetings that create momentum between sessions, you will leave with ideas you can apply immediately, plus a sharper lens for spotting when a program teaches people to “fish” in an empty pond.Subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a review so more community leaders can find these conversations.Guest BioGabrielle Stewart is a consultant specializing in incorporating best practices in equity and diversity into technical assistance for non-profit and community organizations. She guides organizations and collaborative entities in staff development, organizational capacity building, strategic planning, implementation, and evaluation, utilizing sound governance practices and adjusting systems to be poverty- and trauma-competent. She combines a 20-year history of non-profit leadership with a deep understanding of systems theory, racial equity, relationship-building, and collective impact strategies to help organizations incorporate the voices of all stakeholders into decision-making.

Luke 24:13-17  Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing Him. He asked them, 'What are you discussing together as you walk along?' They stood still, their faces downcast.DISCOURAGEMENT is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present, and distrust of the future.DISCOURAGEMENT is often the gap between EXPECTATION and REALITY.1. Remember God's PROMISES.Luke 24:18-21  One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, 'Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?' 'What things?' He asked. 'About Jesus of Nazareth,' they replied. 'He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him; but we had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.'Luke 24:25  He said to them, 'How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!'FAITH is trusting what God has SAID even when it does not line up with what you currently SEE.Hebrews 13:5  'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'Psalm 34:18  'The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.'Romans 8:28  'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.'John 16:33  'I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.'2. Recognize Jesus' PRESENCE.Do not be so consumed with what is happening TO YOU that you miss who is WITH YOU.Luke 24:28-29  As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if He were going farther. But they urged Him strongly, 'Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.' So He went in to stay with them.Revelation 3:20  'Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me.'3. Respond to God's POWER.Luke 24:31-34  Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?' They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, 'It is true! The Lord has risen.'The resurrection is not just an EVENT to celebrate; it is a MIRACLE to experience.Real CHANGE begins when you RESPOND.

In this episode of Mental Health News Radio, I sit down with therapist and somatic practitioner Cody Gauthier to explore something we almost never talk about—the moment therapy starts to work.What happens when a client begins to change, set boundaries, and show up differently in their life… and it feels uncomfortable, destabilizing, or even worse than before? We talk about the lived reality of growth from the therapist's chair:– why change often feels like something went wrong– what happens when clients hit their goals and it's time to let go– the attachment that forms in therapy—and how to navigate ending well– why understanding something cognitively is not the same as embodying it– how trauma lives in the body, and what it takes to actually release it– the evolving role of men in relationships, emotional expression, and therapyThis is a grounded, human conversation about healing that doesn't skip the messy middle.Connect with Cody Gauthier:Website: Cody Gauthier Therapy (South Bay, CA)TikTok: @codygauthierBoard Member: South Bay Eating Disorder CoalitionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it's the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who's spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his case for why we shouldn't let perfection block meaningful action on climate change.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.
