Today's story is a good example of how little we know about biology and life, and how we can use our knowledge to better fight diseases and environmental threats. We are going to talk about bacteriophages or just fages. These are small viruses which attack bacteria. The story is literally about life and death and most organisms on earth are being killed every week. We have covered this topic before but, but in this podcast we will go deeper into the substance and ask one of the current frontier researchers from the biocomplexity group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen Namiko Mitarai Japan.

In this powerful solo episode, Marsha breaks down one of the most important concepts for setting aligned, achievable goals: your ceiling (your biggest vision) and your floor (your deepest belief in yourself). She explains why strategy alone will never carry you to your next level if your nervous system and subconscious identity aren't built to hold it.Marsha walks you through how to expand your capacity, strengthen the foundation you're standing on, and regulate yourself so your goals feel safe, doable, and aligned. If you've ever set big goals only to contract, self sabotage, or freeze, this episode will hit home in all the right ways.Highlights [02:12] The ceiling and floor analogy: your vision vs your belief [04:48] Why your body contracts when a goal feels unsafe [06:55] Your nervous system determines how much success you can hold [09:41] Big goals built on pressure lead to dysregulation and burnout [12:20] Strengthening the floor: changing beliefs, patterns, and identity [15:10] Using visualization to train your subconscious that it's safe [18:30] Your floor predicts whether you rise, self sabotage, or stall [21:45] Reframing failure and speaking in present tense to shift identity [25:18] Setting aligned goals based on where you are, not fantasy timelines [28:40] Regulate first, raise your ceiling secondMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterJoin the 2026 HWCEO Mastermind: https://meghan-weir.thrivecart.com/hwceomastermind/Unbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.

In this powerful and enlightening episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimee Duffy, triple-board-certified functional medicine physician and regenerative health expert, to uncover the deeper biochemical, hormonal, and cellular factors driving bone loss. Dr. Duffy shares how chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, gut dysfunction, emotional trauma, immune imbalance, and mitochondrial decline all impact the body's ability to repair — including the repair of your bones.We talk about the connection between stress, trauma, and physical degeneration; how the nervous system affects hormone balance; and why rebuilding bone health requires more than calcium supplements and heavy weights. Dr. Duffy explains that bone loss is rarely an isolated condition — it's a downstream effect of a body that's inflamed, depleted, stressed, or biochemically out of balance.This episode will give you hope, validation, and a deeper understanding of how to support your bones from the inside out.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe biochemical and cellular drivers of bone lossHow stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation affect bone-buildingWhy inflammation and oxidative stress accelerate aging and degenerationHow gut health influences nutrient absorption and hormone balanceThe role of mitochondria in energy, healing, and bone remodelingHow emotions and past experiences impact physical healthWhy restoring internal balance must come before advanced therapiesPractical, everyday steps to support your healing and strengthen your bonesAction Steps You Can Take TodaySupport your gut with whole foods, hydration, minerals, and fiber-rich meals.Regulate your nervous system through deep breathing, meditation, grounding, or yoga.Reduce inflammatory loads by limiting sugar, alcohol, processed oils, and stress.Strengthen your mitochondria with sunlight, movement, quality sleep, and clean nutrition.Address emotional stress or unresolved trauma that keeps the body in survival mode.Incorporate minerals and antioxidants for cellular support (magnesium, potassium, trace minerals).Seek functional testing to understand hormones, oxidative stress, gut health, and inflammation markers.Resources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Aimee Duffy: https://www.aimeeduffymd.com/Debi Robinson Wellness: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healthy Bones Program: https://debirobinson.com/healthy-gut-healthy-bones/Debi's TakeawayYour bones are not the problem — they are the result of what's happening inside your body. Bone loss is a message, not a failure. When you reduce inflammation, strengthen your mitochondria, heal your gut, regulate your stress, nourish your cells, and support your emotional wellbeing, your bones receive the signal that it's finally safe to rebuild. Healing begins the moment your internal environment becomes supportive of repair.

Is everyday stress quietly rewiring your child's brain? Learn how chronic stress reshapes the nervous system, affects emotional regulation, and how small, practical lifestyle changes can protect your child's brain health.Parenting a child whose emotions swing from calm to chaos can feel overwhelming. Everyday pressures—school demands, social tension, family stress—can quietly rewire your child's brain, pushing it into a constant state of survival mode. But the good news? You can change these patterns.In today's episode, we break down how chronic stress affects brain development, why your child may seem "overly reactive" or withdrawn, and practical tools you can use to build emotional resilience and calm.Why does my child overreact to small stressors?Your child's brain is highly responsive to repeated stress, especially those with trauma, neurodivergence, or sensory sensitivities. Chronic stress strengthens fear circuits in the amygdala while weakening prefrontal cortex control, making your child more prone to anxiety, meltdowns, or overreaction.Takeaways:Frequent stress rewires the brain: the more your child experiences stress, the stronger the fear pathways become.Behavior reflects the brain: meltdowns aren't misbehavior—they're signs of an overactive stress response.Small moments add up: transitions, noise, or school pressures can overflow your child's stress cup.Real-Life ExampleJess noticed her son melting down every afternoon. By adding a quiet snack and a two-minute decompression before homework, she saw his meltdowns reduce within a month.How can I tell if my child's nervous system is overstimulated or under-stimulated?Overstimulation looks like constant movement, big emotions, defiance, sleep troubles, and hyper-reactivity. Under-stimulation shows as daydreaming, zoning out, sluggishness, or excessive caffeine use in teens. Both reflect dysregulated stress response patterns.Tips for parents:Observe daily patterns in behavior and energy.Offer micro resets: 1–2 minute stretches, humming, tapping, or deep breathing.Track stressors to notice triggers and early warning signs.Quick CALM™ gives your child fast, simple tools to reset their nervous system and regain emotional control in moments of stress. With easy, science-backed techniques, it helps kids stay grounded, focused, and calm—so you can reduce meltdowns and boost everyday resilience.What can parents do to protect the brain during stressful moments?Regulate first, teach second. Your calm acts as the anchor for your child's nervous system. Predictable routines and lifestyle changes—hydration, sleep, magnesium-rich foods—help balance stress hormones and protect brain structure.Action Steps:Incorporate short, frequent nervous system breaks.Prioritize predictable schedules and safe environments.Co-regulate for connection before correction—behavioral learning happens when your child feels safe.

Dr. Brennan Spiegel, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai and Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, author of the book Pull, explains why illness is often a failure to manage gravity. He describes how our relationship with gravity defines strength, balance, digestion, mental stability, and emotional health.  Take the Gravotype Quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to identify how your body manages gravity. Key Insights and Action Steps — Dr. Brennan Spiegel "Every single cell of your body evolved from this force of gravity. Physics came first, and biology came second." Illness arises when we fail to manage gravity. Every organ, tendon, and cell depends on that relationship. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up this sack of potatoes that we all have in our belly. When you open up the gut, it opens up digestion." Posture determines how well the gut, diaphragm, and circulation function. Sitting compresses digestion and lowers energy. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." Balance, grip strength, and posture are measurable indicators of longevity. "The inner ear is like a gyroscope constantly keeping track of your position in relation to gravity." The nervous system continuously measures gravity. Inner-ear disturbances can create dizziness, anxiety, and panic. "When you're depressed, you can't get up out of bed. Your body is slumped over. It's almost like there's so much gravity pulling on your body, it's like you're in a black hole." Depression mirrors an excessive gravitational load. Emotional heaviness is a physical experience of being pulled down. "Strong negative emotional experiences can permanently change the way the brain forms… the mind has learned to be pulled down emotionally, physically, socially." Childhood trauma reshapes how the brain perceives gravity, making the body feel heavier and slower to rise. "The feet are a gravity management surface… only five percent of the body's surface area but holding one hundred percent of the weight." Feet are the interface between body and planet. Strengthening them restores alignment and balance. "Your relationship to the planet, both latitudinally and altitudinally, will determine your health." Altitude, light, and environment influence serotonin, immunity, and microbiome function. "Serotonin itself is a gravity management substance." Serotonin regulates mood and physical stability, linking emotional and gravitational balance. "When it's stimulated, it activates the rest and digest phase and helps release serotonin." The vagus nerve is the primary connection between body and mind, calming the system and improving serotonin flow. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." Carrying additional resistance through weighted movement improves posture, strength, and metabolism. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain and flushes out amyloid." Sleep restores gravitational equilibrium and supports brain recovery. "Gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Long-term health depends on strengthening that relationship physically, mentally, and emotionally. Action Items from Dr. Brennan Spiegel  1. Identify your gravotype. Take the 16-question quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to learn which of the eight gravotypes you belong to and how your body manages gravity. 2. Build gravity fortitude. Strengthen the muscles and bones that keep you upright — especially your back, core, and legs. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up the gut and opens digestion." 3. Stand tall and move often. Avoid long hours of sitting. Use a standing desk or take frequent standing breaks. Sitting compresses the abdomen, slows digestion, and reduces serotonin. 4. Strengthen the diaphragm and posture daily. Practice standing with shoulders back and chin level to engage the diaphragm and improve breathing and gut function. 5. Train your balance. Test and improve balance by standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, or using a balance board. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." 6. Practice grip and hanging strength. Hang from a bar daily. Aim for 30 seconds, then increase gradually toward 2 minutes. Even short "dead hangs" improve shoulder, spine, and nervous-system alignment. 7. Use light weighted resistance. Try a weighted vest or light ankle weights while walking or doing chores. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." 8. Walk, run, or train barefoot or in minimalist shoes (safely). Let the feet feel the ground to activate stabilizing muscles. "When you ground your foot, everything else pulls up straight from there." 9. Reconnect with the ground. Spend time standing or walking on natural surfaces (grass, sand, earth) when possible. 10. Stay hydrated. Keep enough fluid in your body to "pump blood and oxygen up into the brain." Dehydration weakens gravity tolerance and causes dizziness or fatigue. 11. Regulate the nervous system. Do slow, controlled breathing through pursed lips to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the body. "Slow meditative breathing activates the rest-and-digest phase." 12. Consider gentle vagus-nerve stimulation. Use only safe methods such as breathing, humming, or medical devices under supervision. Avoid carotid massage unless advised by a doctor. 13. Strengthen vestibular and proprioceptive awareness. Engage activities that challenge coordination: yoga, dance, gymnastics, tai chi, or balance training. 14. Manage mental gravity. Notice emotional heaviness as a physical sensation; practice posture, breathing, and grounding to counteract "mental black holes." 15. Use awe and nature to elevate mood. Spend time in nature, watch sunsets, or listen to music that evokes awe. "Feeling part of something greater than yourself elevates mood and serotonin." 16. Increase natural serotonin. Seek sunlight, exercise outdoors, connect socially, and reduce processed foods. Serotonin helps both mood and muscle tone to "fight gravity physically and mentally." 17. Optimize sleep for gravitational recovery. Sleep 7–8 hours flat or slightly inclined if you have reflux. Avoid heavy meals within 2 hours of sleep. Limit screens before bed. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain." 18. Manage reflux and digestion. If prone to reflux, raise the head of the bed about 10 degrees or use a wedge pillow. Sleep on your left side to reduce acid reaching the esophagus. 19. Support circulation through movement. Use your muscles as pumps, walk regularly, stretch calves, and move legs during travel or desk work to prevent stagnation. 20. Avoid chronic compression. Reduce time bent over laptops or phones; keep screens at eye level to protect diaphragm and digestion. 21. Engage with natural environments. Nature exposure increases serotonin and improves gravity resilience. "Being in green spaces is mood-elevating because that's what we evolved with." 22. Monitor environment and altitude. If you live or work at high altitude, be mindful of mood or sleep changes and adjust oxygen exposure and sunlight time. 23. Balance convenience with movement. Spiegel warns that modern comfort, constant sitting, processed food, artificial environments, represents "our species losing the battle against gravity." 24. Reframe health. Adopt the mindset that "gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Everything, from mood to digestion, is part of managing that relationship.   Get Brennan's book, Pull, here: https://shorturl.at/XjNt3   Claim your free gift: Free gift #1 McKinsey & BCG winning resume www.FIRMSconsulting.com/resumePDF Free gift #2 Breakthrough Decisions Guide with 25 AI Prompts www.FIRMSconsulting.com/decisions Free gift #3 Five Reasons Why People Ignore Somebody www.FIRMSconsulting.com/owntheroom Free gift #4 Access episode 1 from Build a Consulting Firm, Level 1 www.FIRMSconsulting.com/build Free gift #5 The Overall Approach used in well-managed strategy studies www.FIRMSconsulting.com/OverallApproach Free gift #6 Get a copy of Nine Leaders in Action, a book we co-authored with some of our clients: www.FIRMSconsulting.com/gift

Ever feel like your to-do list is running your life and you barely have any energy left for what matters most—like connecting with loved ones or just enjoying the moment?

Identify your energy drains and boosters: Pay attention to which tasks or activities drain your energy and which ones replenish it, adjusting your schedule accordingly. Automate foundational habits: Focus on making your basic self-care and wellness routines so automatic that they require little mental energy to maintain. Start small with new habits: If you're building a new habit, begin with manageable baby steps to ensure consistency and avoid burnout or overwhelm. Incorporate nervous system regulation: After foundational habits are in place, introduce practices like breathwork or somatic exercises, but only as needed—not all day, every day. Ask for support from your partner: Communicate with your partner about what helps you regulate—this might be a gentle touch, a walk together, or another soothing gesture during conflict. Customize your self-care: Recognize your personal energy archetype and tailor your wellness strategies—whether you need more grounding, invigoration, or soothing—based on your unique tendencies.   Mentioned Energy Archetype Quiz (link) (quiz) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Hadlee Garrison Websites: happyhealthyhadlee.com YouTube: youtube.com/@happyhealthyhadlee Instagram: instagram.com/happyhealthyhadlee TikTok: tiktok.com/@happyhealthyhadlee Podcast: Spotify: https://bit.ly/4iGbHZN | Apple Podcast: https://bit.ly/4iHvBDG   

If you've ever whispered, “God, just tell me what to do…” this episode will land deeply. In this week's conversation on Trusting Dorothy, we explore one of the most common experiences we all face: feeling stuck, waiting for clarity, craving direction, and longing for signs. This episode was inspired by a powerful real-life conversation, one that mirrored the way so many women navigate career changes, identity shifts, money beliefs, and the pressure to “figure it out.” Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ Why the in-between seasons feel so uncomfortable ✨ Why we often think the next job, income level, or external shift will fix everything ✨ What it means to co-create your life with God ✨ The truth behind asking for signs (and choosing signs on purpose) ✨ How your nervous system impacts intuition and decision-making ✨ The identity shift required before new outcomes can arrive ✨ Why slowing down is not failure, it's guidance And a reframe that changes EVERYTHING: “A lot of the time we're not waiting for God. God is waiting for us to get quiet enough to hear what we already know.” Resources & Links: Within: a 21 day return to self→https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/within Move your body with me inside The Lift Library → HERE Join Peace & Prosperity 1:1 Coaching – Six Weeks to Regulate, Realign & Receive _____________________________________________________ Click HERE for the Show Notes.

The European Commission is attempting to regulate American platforms, and even fine them. The commission has issued a fine to social media platform X for 120 million euros, or just over $139 million. X is refusing to comply, and this is quickly turning into an issue of global diplomacy, and a question of whether foreign countries can export their laws to the United States.Also, on the point of defending American sovereignty against European powers, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just declared that the United States will once again be enforcing the Monroe Doctrine.We'll discuss these topics, and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

You know that moment where your kid says or does something, your nervous system spikes, and every parenting thing you've ever learned disappears from your brain… Today we're talking about the huge gap between what we know about calm parenting and what actually comes out when we're tired, stressed, and triggered.I'm joined by Dr. Alissa Jerud—clinical psychologist, DBT expert, and author of Emotion-Savvy Parenting. Dr. Jerud blends gold-standard, evidence-based tools with respectful parenting so you can stop white-knuckling your reactions and start leading with grounded emotional skill.In this episode, we're diving into:The “knowing vs. doing” gap in motherhoodWhy even the most trained parents lose access to their tools under stress—and what shifts when you stop trying to control your child and start regulating yourself.The ART framework: Accept, Regulate, Tolerate How to accept emotions without judgment, understand the real “ingredients” behind your reactions, and work with triggers, thoughts, and vulnerabilities so you're less likely to snap.What to do when anger hijacks your system How to feel anger without exploding, use distress-tolerance skills to dial it down, and choose actions that align with the parent you want to be.This conversation is for you if you've ever thought, “I should know better by now,” but your reactions aren't matching the mom you want to be. You'll walk away with language, lenses, and practical tools you can use in real time… even on the messy days.Pick up Dr Jerud's book Emotion-Savvy Parenting here.

Your nervous system has a built-in Freeze and Appease response to manage the threat of sexual assault, aka the Fawn response. Learn to forgive yourself and train to respond differently. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership When someone experiences sexual harassment or sexual assault, their body often doesn't react the way they expect. Instead of fighting or running, they might freeze, fawn, or appease—smiling, complying, or going still, even when they feel terrified inside. In this video, we'll explore the Freeze and Fawn Response—sometimes called the Freeze-Appease Response—and how these instinctive reactions are the body's way of trying to stay safe during sexual violence or threat. You'll learn what happens in the nervous system during a freeze response, why people can't “just say no,” and how understanding this can help survivors release shame and start to heal. This is essential education for survivors, loved ones, and anyone who wants to understand trauma responses with compassion and science. If you've ever blamed yourself for how you reacted during sexual harassment or sexual assault, please know: it wasn't your fault. Your body was trying to keep you alive.

Big feelings are not the problem. The real issue is when kids don't know what those feelings are for or what to do with them.In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline walks through how to help children and teens move from “I feel awful” to “Here's what I need and here's what I'm going to do.”You'll hear how to:Teach kids to read their body signals and name emotions with more precisionLink emotions to underlying needs, values, and goalsUse primary and secondary appraisal (Is this dangerous? Can I handle it?) to guide copingSpot when strategies are actually avoidance in disguiseBuild “if–then” plans so kids know exactly what to do when big feelings hitPractice emotion-focused vs. problem-focused coping without rescuing or over-accommodatingPerfect for educators, parents, and mental health professionals who want practical ways to match responses to kids' emotions and needs, build resilience, and stop reinforcing avoidance.Homework IdeasDaily Emotion–Need Check-InGoal: Link feelings → needs → possible actions.How: Once a day (morning meeting, bedtime, or session check-in), ask:o “What are you feeling?”o “Where do you feel it in your body?”o “What might this feeling be telling you that you need or want?”o “What's one small thing that might help?”Use an emotion wheel or your Emotional Literacy Workbook as a word bank.Helpful resource: Get the free Emotional Literacy Workbook PDF (https://korulearninginstitute.kit.com/emotionaliteracy) Primary vs. Secondary Appraisal PracticeGoal: Help kids sort “this feels huge” from “this is truly dangerous” and “can I handle it?”How: With a recent stressor (test, friend issue, gym class):Ask Primary appraisal questions:o “What makes this feel scary, hard, or unfair?”o “Is something actually unsafe, or does it mostly feel big?”Ask Secondary appraisal questions:o “Have you been in something like this before?”o “What helped even a tiny bit?”o “Who or what could support you this time?”Write answers together on a simple worksheet so they can see the pattern. Build an If–Then Coping PlanGoal: Turn vague coping into concrete, rehearsed responses.How: Pick one recurring trigger and script it: “If I start to panic before a math quiz, then I will:1. Put both feet on the floor2. Notice where the feeling is in my body3. Answer the easiest question first.”Practice this when calm, then in low-stakes situations, then in the real one. Body Mapping & Riding the WaveGoal: Increase interoceptive awareness and distress tolerance.How: Print a body outline. Ask the child to draw where they feel worry / anger / shame. Add words: “tight,” “hot,” “heavy,” “buzzy,” “pressure,” etc.During a mild spike, coach:o “Notice: stronger on the left or right?”o “Let's watch what happens for 60–90 seconds.”Track: Did it grow, stay the same, or drop?This normalizes “waves” and shows the nervous system can rise and fall without escape. Role-Play Triggers SafelyGoal: Let kids rehearse new responses without public shame.How: Ask: “What does your sibling/classmate do that really sets you off?”Recreate a version with you (e.g., you hum “Baby Shark” while they do homework).Guide them to:o Notice body cueso Label the feelingo Use their plan: drop into the body, self-coaching, opposite action, etc.Repeat until they can access the new response faster. “Even If…” Values StatementsGoal: Tie coping to what matters most, not just symptom reduction.How: Help kids finish:· “Even if I feel anxious, I'm still going to ____ because ____ matters to me.”· “Even if I feel left out, I'm still going to ____ because ____ is important to me.”Post their top 2–3 on a card, locker, or notebook.Revisit after exposures: “Did acting on your value help, even with the feeling there?”Enjoying the show?

Recognizing Negativity Bias: The Silent Confidence Killer In this powerful episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn explores the concept of negativity bias - our brain's tendency to notice negative experiences faster, feel them more deeply, and remember them longer than positive ones. This isn't just theoretical psychology; it's an ancient survival mechanism that's actively affecting your relationships, career decisions, and emotional wellbeing right now. Glenn shares personal examples from his military background to illustrate how this evolutionary wiring, while once crucial for survival, now silently erodes our confidence and happiness in the modern world. This episode isn't about pointing fingers at others but recognizing this pattern within ourselves. As Glenn powerfully states, "Negativity bias isn't your fault, but it is your responsibility." Through practical tools and a framework for awareness, listeners will discover how to identify when negativity bias is hijacking their thoughts and learn specific techniques to counter its effects. Timestamps and Key Takeaways: **2:15** - Definition of negativity bias and why it's hardwired into our brains* Your brain treats negative information as survival threats* One negative comment outweighs ten compliments **4:30** - Real-world examples of negativity bias in:* Relationships - focusing on one mistake instead of consistent support* Parenting - remembering the one bad moment with your teenager* Work - letting one failure overshadow twenty wins* Self-belief - defining yourself by mistakes rather than progress **7:45** - Five practical tools to counter negativity bias:* Name it as it's happening* Ask better questions to challenge assumptions* Slow down your response* Balance the scales by deliberately reinforcing positivity* Regulate your nervous system **11:20** - Five reflection questions to identify your patterns* Where does negativity bias hit you hardest?* Recent examples from your own life* The long-term cost if left unchecked **14:30** - Information about upcoming retreats and adventure opportunities Ready to break free from the grip of negativity bias and unlock better relationships, calmer decision-making, and greater confidence? This episode provides the awareness and tools you need to update your mental "software" and become a little better today than you were yesterday. Listen now and discover how managing this one cognitive pattern could transform your entire life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're talking about emotional regulation and understanding emotional triggers, and how those two pieces can completely change the way we connect with each other. Communication is the backbone of any healthy relationship—but it's not just what we say, it's how we show up emotionally when we say it. Many of our most challenging conversations aren't actually about the surface issue—like the dishes, the lateness, or the tone. They're about the emotional reactions happening underneath. 

Parenting a tween or teen who swings from calm to chaos in seconds can leave you walking on eggshells. One minute they're fine, and the next—doors slam, voices rise, and you're wondering what just happened. You're not alone. Those big mood swings aren't “attitude.” They're signals that your child's nervous system is in distress.Let's dive into the hidden clues your tween's or teen's nervous system is in trouble, how to decode them before they explode, and practical steps to bring calm back to your home.Why does my teen overreact to small things?When your child melts down over a lost pencil or a simple “no,” it's not defiance—it's a sign of an overwhelmed nervous system. Their brain is already running on empty, and even a tiny trigger can send them over the edge.What this means:Overreactions = stress overload. Their stress cup is full, and every little thing spills over.Persistent irritability or mood whiplash can signal emotional dysregulation, not disrespect.Physical signs like chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, or stomach pain often accompany these reactions.

#320: What if there's less standing between you and your dream life than you think? If you've ever caught yourself thinking "that's too big of a dream," this episode is going to completely shift how you see what's possible for your life.Today I'm sitting down with Olivia Rose Thomas — manifestation coach, co-host of Inspired Delusions, and someone who went from being skeptical of the idea of manifesting to completely transforming her life through it. Olivia breaks down the neuroscience behind why getting your hopes up is the most powerful thing you can do, why your 95% subconscious mind might be sabotaging what you want, and how to rewire your brain to expect good things.This isn't just woo-woo talk — Olivia connects quantum physics, nervous system regulation, and brain science to explain why manifestation actually works. She shares how she manifested her dream apartment the day after putting it on her vision board, why being audacious about your goals gives your brain more dopamine and motivation, and the exact tools that help you feel safe enough to dream bigger than you ever thought possible.This episode is for you if:You're tired of playing it safe and ready to let yourself receive what you actually wantYou've tried manifesting before and felt like it didn't workYou want to understand the science behind why your thoughts literally shape your realityYou're ready to stop being realistic and start being audaciousWe talk about…The moment Olivia went from manifestation skeptic to believer — and manifested her exact dream living situationWhy getting your hopes up is actually less painful than believing nothing is possibleThe study that proves we only see what we're looking for (and how to use this to your advantage)What your subconscious mind really is and why 95% of your thoughts are working against you without you knowing itThe three R's formula: Recognize, Rewire, Regulate — and how to actually change your beliefsWhy EFT tapping calms your nervous system and clears the "clouds" blocking your natural state of worthinessHow to use subliminals safely (and why creating your own with your voice works faster)Why acting "as if" and changing your identity is more powerful than any manifestation ritualWhy being realistic is the fastest road to mediocrity — and what to do insteadHow to feel safe enough in your nervous system to actually let yourself hope for moreEpisode Links:Follow Olivia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oliviarosethomas_/Follow Olivia on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviarosethomas?lang=enListen to Olivia's podcast, Inspired Delusions: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ETFmbKuK8CU6vYU9wFRwu?si=c93d63ba996d4dd7Get your She's So Lucky Merch: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/shes-so-luckySponsors:Nutrafol: For a limited time, Nutrafol is offering our listeners ten dollars off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to nutrafol.com enter the promo code BALANCEDLES.Kendra Scott: Visit kendrascott.com/gifts and use code SSL20 at checkout for 20% off ONE full-priced jewelry item.

How to Rewrite the Standards You Live By and Create a Life That Feels So Good This week's episode of Trusting Dorothy, is sharing part 1 of the Make the Rules Masterclass, a transformative approach to rewriting the rules that shape your daily life, your beliefs, and your relationship with abundance, peace, and self-trust. Learn how to shift outdated patterns, create rules that support your highest good, and align your nervous system with the life you want to live. Today's episode is a little different, and honestly, perfectly aligned. I accidentally recorded the Make the Rules Masterclass twice… and the second recording felt so aligned, so grounded, and so true, that I knew I needed to share it here on the podcast. Inside this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Why so many of us live by rules we never consciously chose ✨ The difference between beliefs and rules (and why rules feel easier to change) ✨ How old rules slip in because of nervous system safety, not failure ✨ What it looks like to rewrite your rules from peace, alignment, and self-trust ✨ Why abundance, worthiness, and ease start with the rules you choose ✨ How to feel into new rules before the evidence arrives Whether you're shifting in business, body, money, relationships, motherhood, or all of the above, this masterclass will give you the language, the clarity, and the calm you've been craving. And because you're a podcast listener, I have a gift for you… FREE “Make the Rules” Guide + Bonus Training If you want to go deeper, I created a PDF guide with:

When every request turns into a power struggle, it can leave you exhausted, frustrated, and questioning everything you're doing as a parent. But here's the truth: your child isn't trying to make your life harder—their brain is stuck in survival mode.Let me break down what's really happening when kids seem defiant and how parents can shift from chaos to calm using three powerful regulation steps. You'll learn how to decode oppositional behavior, why it's not about disrespect, and what you can do today to help your child feel safe and cooperative again.Why Does My Child Say “No” to Everything?When your child refuses to listen or melts down over simple requests, it's not bad behavior—it's a dysregulated nervous system.Here's what's really happening:Their brain has gone into survival mode, shutting down logic and reasoning.That “no” is often a stress response, not manipulation.Many kids labeled with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) or other mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety disorders, or mood disorders are really struggling with nervous system overload.Think of it like a smoke detector that's too sensitive—it goes off even when nothing's really burning. When your child's stress cup is overflowing, every small demand feels like too much.Behavior is communication. Your child's defiance is their brain's way of saying, “I can't handle this right now.”Is My Child's Oppositional Behavior Really About Anxiety or Control?For many kids, saying “no” is an unconscious coping mechanism. It helps them avoid anxiety triggers or regain a sense of control when life feels unpredictable.Here's what's going on beneath that resistance:Anxious avoidance: Kids learn that saying “no” helps them keep anxiety lower.Loss of control: When kids feel powerless, they fight to regain safety.Sensory overload: Every transition, sound, or demand adds another drop to their stress cup.

In this powerful episode of the Healthy Hustle Podcast, Rachel sits down with Dr. Patrick K. Porter, a neuroscience expert, inventor of BrainTap®, and founder of BrainTap Technologies. With decades of experience helping over 120,000 people—including pro athletes, veterans, and high achievers—Dr. Porter shares practical, science-backed strategies to boost focus, improve sleep, and build resilience so you can show up as your best self in life and business. His work blends brainwave science, visualization, and neuroplasticity to make peak mental performance achievable for everyone. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in chronic stress, this conversation is a MUST listen. Dr. Porter breaks down complex brain science into simple, actionable steps that anyone can use—starting today. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Your Brain Is More Powerful Than You Realize How every cell in your body is constantly "listening" to your environment—thoughts, foods, people, light, sound, and stress—and mirroring it back through your biology. Why your DNA is continually updating based on how you perceive life: as a threat or as a challenge. 2. Why Stress Isn't Just a "Mindset" Problem The link between chronic stress and disrupted neurotransmitters, sleep cycles, gut health, and blood sugar. Why Dr. Porter says we don't have a mental health crisis—we have a physiological crisis. 3. Brainwaves 101: Understanding Your Inner Operating System Dr. Porter breaks down: Beta – reactionary, can be tied to fear, frustration, anxiety. Alpha – daydreaming, creativity, presence, flow. Theta – deep relaxation, super-learning, memory integration. Delta – deep sleep and brain detox. Gamma – the "bass drum" that helps keep the whole brain orchestra in sync. You'll hear how modern life pushes many people out of balance—and what that looks like in everyday symptoms (brain fog, burnout, poor focus, anxiety). 4. The Science Behind BrainTap® You'll learn how BrainTap uses light, sound, and vibration to: Support brainwave balance Increase ATP (cellular energy) Improve sleep architecture and deep delta sleep Regulate the nervous system Support gut-brain communication and overall resilience Dr. Porter also dives into: Red light therapy and mitochondrial energy Circadian rhythms and why timing of sleep matters Why a 2 PM "reboot" can increase productivity by 26% 5. A Daily BrainCare Routine You Can Start Now Dr. Porter outlines a simple structure you can plug into your day: Morning: a short "digital coffee" BrainTap session to energize the brain without relying on caffeine. Midday (around 2 PM): a 20-minute reboot session to reset your nervous system and restore focus. Evening: a session that guides your brain into delta for deeper, more restorative sleep. Plus, a simple 4–8 breathing practice before bed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Try BrainTap Free Dr. Porter offers a 14-day free trial of the BrainTap app. No headset required to start Just your phone + audio Most people report noticeably better sleep by night three

Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Childhood trauma doesn't just live in your memories—it rewires how you show up in relationships. If you've ever panicked when someone leaves your text on read, overshared on a first date, or pulled away when closeness feels scary, you're not alone. These patterns are often rooted in attachment wounds from early experiences of neglect, control, or fear. In this video, we explore how Complex PTSD (CPTSD) and attachment injuries from childhood trauma disrupt the ability to form safe, secure relationships as an adult. You'll learn the 7 most common ways CPTSD shows up in love and friendship—like fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, emotional dysregulation, or repeating toxic patterns. We'll also dive into attachment styles—anxious, avoidant, disorganized—and how they develop from early relational wounds. Most importantly, you'll discover 5 stages of healing that can help you rebuild secure attachment. From slowing down in new relationships, to reparenting yourself with compassion, to creating earned secure attachments, there are clear steps you can take to change the way you connect. Healing from Complex PTSD takes time, but healthy, lasting relationships are possible. You can rewire your nervous system, learn to trust, and finally feel safe being loved.
