Podcasts about Reconnect

On today's episode, we hear about:  A wife wondering if she should tell her family about her husband's affairs A husband wanting to help his wife put her life back together A woman who said rude things about her sister-in-law and it backfired Next Steps: ❤️ Get away with your spouse today!

In this powerful return interview, Kevin sits down again with Bob Lincoln, a graduate of Tribe Class 001, to explore what happens when spiritual awakening stops being a concept and becomes an actual lived experience. Bob first joined the Alpha Male Coach community after years of searching for answers in dating advice, business mentorship, and surface-level self-improvement. But when he heard Kevin speak on another podcast, something deeper activated inside him. He couldn't fully explain it at the time - he didn't even understand all the words - but he knew it was real. It spoke to his soul.Now, years later, Bob returns to the show to share what changed, how the work continued to unfold, and why he chose to go through Tribe again with Class 003, this time in a mentor role. Bob explains how Tribe began as a coach certification course, but evolved into something much bigger - a true brotherhood where men can reveal their inner programming, speak openly, and hold space for each other without judgment.One of the most relatable parts of this conversation is Bob's honesty about what happens when life gets busy. Business, relationships, family, and responsibility can pull you away from the deeper work. Bob shares how he slowly drifted from the calls, started making excuses, and began feeling the return of old patterns: disconnection, suffering, and the familiar “lost” feeling. But what brought him back wasn't pressure - it was that quiet voice inside saying, “Stop avoiding. Reconnect.”And what he discovered when he returned was exactly what every man fears and hopes for at the same time: no rejection, no judgment, no punishment - only welcome. That alone becomes its own healing. Bob breaks down the deeper truth behind avoidance and explains how self-judgment creates the illusion of separation, and how community becomes the container where men remember who they are.The conversation then moves into the deepest part of the episode: Bob's experience at the recent Mexico gathering, where unity consciousness became real - not as a philosophy, but as a vibration and direct experience. He describes the shift from understanding “everything is love” intellectually to feeling it in his body and soul. He begins to see that even the hardest moments in his life were not punishments, but love… guiding him.To close the episode, Bob offers a message to the man listening who feels resistance, fear, or doubt. His invitation is simple: lean into the discomfort. If you're hearing this, it's not coincidence. Come in, listen, connect, and let the work begin.Because on the other side of the chaos is peace… and on the other side of resistance is freedom.Elevate Your Alpha.

National Day of Prayer Taskforce's Kathy Branzell talks about what it means to see the person and their hurts and needs even if they send you a hateful letter.  It's a call to love and pray for those who hate us.  Social media expert Chris Martin, author of "The Wolf in Their Pockets," offers a cautionary note to while we need to be informed about what's happening in the world around us, we need to remember our citizenship of God's Kingdom and keeping our focus on His ways of loving our neighbor.  This is opposed to being caught in the rage of the day and swept up in the propaganda of the day.  The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Internationally, efforts to mitigate the anthropogenic impact on the natural environment are generally framed under the concept of “sustainable development.” In the People's Republic of China, however, “ecological civilisation” (shengtai wenming 生态文明) has become the defining slogan of the country's environmental policy. What does this different wording entail for Chinese politics and for the future of the world? What values and worldviews underpin the use of “ecological civilisation” by Chinese authorities? In this podcast Dr Beatrice Gallelli discusses her recent ReConnect Policy Brief with Outi Luova. Beatrice Gallelli is a Research Fellow at the Istituto Affari Internazionali and an Assistant Professor at Ca'Foscari University of Venice, Italy. Outi Luova works as a senior university lecturer at the Centre for East Asian Studies, University of Turku, Finland. Link to the policy brief: Why “Ecological civilisation”?

Have you ever looked at your partner and thought, "How did we get here?" Somewhere between kids, schedules, groceries, and keeping the household running, many moms begin to feel more like roommates or co-managers than romantic partners.   In this episode, Whitney sits down with marriage coach Michelle Purta to explore why this shift is so common in motherhood, and why it is not a sign that a marriage is broken, but a signal that mental and emotional load has quietly taken over.   They talk honestly about how resentment builds when needs go unspoken, why hard conversations often come out sharper than we intend, and how mental load plays a bigger role in disconnection than we realize. Michelle shares simple, grounded ways to approach conversations differently, from pausing to regulate yourself first, to asking for support clearly and naming why it matters, to creating small moments of connection that do not feel like another item on the to-do list.   If you are feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or longing to feel like a team again, this episode meets you right where you are. Tune in for practical, doable practices that support reconnection with yourself and with your partner.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Why motherhood naturally creates distance in romantic relationships How to set up consensual conversations instead of ambushing your partner A surprising thing you may not know about even the healthiest couples Examples of micro-connections: intentional check-ins, longer hugs, non-logistics conversations, small acts of support How having a clear vision for your life and relationship guides healthier choices now Reflection question to ponder:  How do I want my life to be like?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Michelle: Instagram | Website | Marriage and Motherhood Podcast

Why being alone feels so hard—and how solitude can make you healthier, calmer and more connected. Robert Coplan spent months on the road as a solo musician, driving through the southern U.S. with long stretches of boredom, isolation, and nowhere to escape his own thoughts. Then he made one small shift that turned his misery into meaning. Coplan has since spent his career studying solitude—why we resist it, what it gives us when we stop fighting it, and how too little “me time” can leave us stressed, irritable, and disconnected. GUEST Robert Coplan is a professor of psychology at Carleton University and author of “The Joy of Solitude: How to Reconnect with Yourself in an Overconnected World” (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Joy-of-Solitude/Robert-J-Coplan/9781668053423) Episode transcript - https://uncomfypodcastbyu.blogspot.com/2026/02/why-being-alone-might-be-exactly-what.html CHAPTERS (0:00) Introduction (1:05) Meet Robert Coplan (1:28) From Musician to Psychologist (3:17) The Joy of Solitude (5:28) Experimenting with Solitude (10:32) The Role of Technology in Solitude (13:08) Loneliness vs. Solitude (15:46) The Concept of "Aloneliness" (17:09) Normalizing the Need for Alone Time (18:12) Conclusion

Ever feel stuck in your own head—like you want to heal, but you don't know how to move forward? In this episode, Allie Marie Smith sits down with Dr. Lee Warren (neurosurgeon + author) for a hope-filled conversation about the power of your thoughts—and what he calls "self-brain surgery." After walking through deep trauma, loss, and grief, Dr. Warren shares how healing often starts by changing what we believe, repeat, and rehearse in our minds. Together, they break down the neuroscience behind how thoughts shape your emotions, your choices, and even the structure of your brain. You'll also hear practical encouragement on gratitude, purpose in pain, and why you're not defined by your past, your diagnosis, or your hardest season. If you've been needing a reset, a mindset shift, or just a reminder that hope is still possible, this one's for you. About Dr. Lee Warren W. Lee Warren, MD, is a neurosurgeon, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. He is the author of "The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery."

I am so happy to welcome Dr. Ellen Braaten back for her third time on the show! In case you missed those episodes and/or need a refresher, Dr. Ellen Braaten is the founding director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. She is a prolific researcher and author whose work focuses on ADHD, learning disorders, child psychopathology, processing speed, intelligence, and children's motivation, including bestselling books for parents and professionals. Deeply committed to public education, she frequently speaks on child mental health topics and contributes to both local and national media. In our conversation, we talk about why unmotivated kids rarely fit neatly into a single category, with Dr. Braaten explaining that children may struggle with motivation for a variety of reasons, such as cognitive overload, emotional fatigue, repeated failure, or even a lack of clear identity. She also explains why framing these challenges as brain-based skills, rather than personal failings, can help change the way parents and clinicians respond. We also discuss the narrowing of opportunities in schools today, why kids need space to discover their own strengths beyond academics and athletics, and how uncomfortable emotions such as shame, anxiety, or regret can silently block motivation. Dr. Braaten's workbook is designed not just for children but for the adults supporting them, and she shares how parents, teachers, and therapists can use its activities to spark meaningful conversations, assess where a child gets stuck, and offer guidance without shame. It's about collaboration, not enforcement, and about helping kids take ownership of their growth while navigating setbacks safely. This episode of the show will surely resonate with anyone supporting tweens and teens, whether you're a parent, educator, or clinician, and offers strategies to help young people (and even adults) rediscover what matters to them, reclaim their motivation, and move forward with confidence! Show Notes: [2:09] - Hear how Dr. Ellen Braaten realized poor motivation affects everyone, especially during stressful, sleep-deprived times. [5:40] - Motivation consists of initiation, persistence, and desire, and can be treated as a learnable skill. [7:56] - Dr. Braaten discusses how kids today struggle to find identity due to overwhelming choices and early specialization pressures. [9:52] - Dr. Braaten argues that strengths extend beyond academics and sports, yet schools rarely provide opportunities to explore diverse talents. [11:51] - Hear how setbacks, injuries, or missed guidance can lead to regret. [13:44] - Breaking motivation into initiation, intensity, and persistence can help kids, parents, and clinicians clarify obstacles. [16:28] - Dr. Braaten points out how even small changes, like better sleep, improve motivation. [18:04] - Parents should balance support and independence, empowering children while preventing guilt or overwhelming hovering. [21:18] - Anxiety and post-pandemic habits have reduced face-to-face engagement, creating cycles that undermine motivation. [23:04] - Dr. Braaten's workbook is best used with adults as guides, sparking conversations about identity and priorities. [26:05] - Hear how to contact Dr. Braaten.

Have you ever loved someone so deeply that it made no logical sense—and yet, your heart wouldn't let go? In this vulnerable solo episode, I share the story of an unexpected connection with someone living on the street, the whirlwind that followed, and the profound truths I learned about desire, acceptance, and self-abandonment.This isn't a story about romance—it's a story about listening to your body when your mind is screaming “this doesn't make sense,” about releasing the fight against your own emotions, and about discovering that letting go doesn't mean shutting off your longing, but holding it with tenderness.If you've ever felt stuck in love, wrestled with desire, or judged yourself for wanting what doesn't seem rational—this conversation is for you.Your healing begins with permission. Your peace begins with acceptance.WORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources#/ CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"Letting go is not letting go of the person—it's letting go of fighting yourself.""Desire is just another emotion.

Political scientist Adam Carrington reflects on the bi-vocational pastor at Cities Church in St. Paul who also serves with ICE.  Many pastors are bi-vocational: working as a pastor, but also having a job on the side to provide for himself and family.  How do you wisely do so?  He also celebrates the 156th anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment of the US Constitution.  Carmen seeks to answer a listener question about what do you do when you've stayed the same theologically and culturally, but the church you attend has shifted markedly.   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

How did your January actually go for you? Not how you hoped it would go, but how it really felt in your practice. Busy, slow, grounding, overwhelming, inspiring, or a bit all over the place? In this episode, I'm talking about something we don't often pause long enough to look at. The difference between running a business and being in practice. They're not the same thing, even though we usually treat them like they are. We talk about scope, boundaries, and confidence. About why being a generalist can quietly drain you, and how getting clearer on what you really want to treat makes your clinical confidence grow without you forcing it. Have a listen to the full Bite Size Podcast episode and spend a little time reconnecting with your practice. And if someone else pops into your mind while you're reading this, send it their way. We're better at this when we don't do it alone.Work with Geraldine:www.geraldineheadley.comwww.instagram.com/mentoringwithgeraldine/

Security expert Elizabeth Neumann, author of "Kingdom of Rage" and a former member of the Department of Homeland Security, responds to situations like what's been happening in Minneapolis.  How do you balance the need for border security and compassion?  How do you live a courageous faith in this context?  Religous researcher Ryan Burge, author of "The Vanishing Church," talks about how many churches have become culturally, economically, politically homogeneous.  This has impacted the broader society in negative ways, and our impact for the gospel.   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Discover what happens to our well-being when we respond to suffering with compassion, collective action, and why choosing to care can help us hold on to our shared humanity.Summary: In the face of widespread suffering, many of us struggle with how to respond without becoming overwhelmed or numb. Drawing on research and real-world experience, this episode of The Science of Happiness examines the psychological impact of bearing witness, acting in alignment with our values, and showing up for others—even when it's hard. We look at how compassion, agency, and a sense of common humanity can both strengthen resilience and carry real emotional costs, and why people continue to act anyway.Take our 5-minute survey https://tinyurl.com/happyhappysurvey. Thank you for helping us make the podcast even better!How To Do This Practice: Pause and name what's happening: Take a moment to notice what you're feeling as you witness suffering or injustice—anger, grief, numbness, confusion. Naming the emotion helps calm the stress response and keeps you from shutting down or looking away. Reconnect with common humanity: Remind yourself: there are no “good people” and “bad people”—there are people.  Clarify your values on paper: Write down one to three values that matter most to you right now (for example: compassion, integrity, dignity, justice). Studies show that writing values down lowers stress and makes it more likely you'll act in alignment with them. Gently ask yourself: “What does a person like me—with these values—do in a situation like this?” Consider what access, safety, or influence you may have, and what constraints you face. Acting with integrity looks different for everyone, and this step helps you choose a response that is both values-aligned and realistic. Choose a safe, doable action: Action doesn't have to be loud or risky. It might be writing, speaking up in a meeting, supporting someone directly, or adding your voice to a collective effort. Even small actions strengthen agency and social connection. Reflect and reconnect: After you act, check in with yourself. Notice any sense of alignment, relief, meaning, grief, or fear. Acting with integrity won't erase pain, but it helps protect mental health and shapes who we become over time. Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Guests:DR.
