In this deeply personal piece, Jon shares something raw and different ... a song born straight from his journaling practice.After years of living by duty, discipline, and performance, Jon found himself realizing he'd lost touch with the part of him that once felt fully alive.That reflection became a song called “Called Home to Yourself.”Through honest storytelling and emotional depth, Jon opens up about what it means to wake up after years on autopilot... to remember the child you once were, the fire you once carried, and the freedom of feeling seen again.This song isn't about perfection (nor is it perfect)... it's about presence.It's about rediscovering who you are beneath the roles, the ranks, and the noise of everyday life.If you've ever felt that quiet ache... that pull toward something real... this episode is for you.Because sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is stop running, listen, and come home.Listen to “Called Home to Yourself” — written and performed by... well, AI!!Hosted by Jon Macaskill | Men Talking MindfulnessHosted by Ausha.

“The work we do is meaningful, sometimes difficult, but it's the best work to do.” - Dr. David Puder On this episode of Transforming Trauma, Emily Ruth welcomes psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. David Puder to explore the clinical realities of complex trauma and the slow, often gritty path toward healing. Drawing on decades of hospital and outpatient experience, Dr. Puder offers candor and practical wisdom for clinicians and caring professionals who feel the weight of this work. The pair discuss how complex developmental trauma shows up as dissociation and psychogenic symptoms rather than classic shock-based PTSD, how medical identities can eclipse a person's strengths, and ways to help families shift out of illness-based roles. You'll hear how dreams and creative writing can reveal disavowed material, why rare countertransference reactions are clinical clues, and how therapist reflective function — the ability to make meaning of inner reactions — predicts treatment impact. Dr. Puder also explains practical tools he developed, including a Connection Index for clinical teams, and offers concrete examples of converting medical patients into psychotherapy patients so they can reclaim agency and a life beyond diagnosis.

Looking in the Mirror: Finding Self-Awareness Through DivorceFamily law attorney Seth Nelson and Pete Wright welcome Lionel Moses, a Desert Storm veteran and relationship coach who helps people break unhealthy relationship patterns through what he calls "the mirror effect." This powerful episode of How to Split a Toaster explores how divorce can become a catalyst for essential self-discovery and growth.The Mirror Effect in RelationshipsDrawing from his experiences through two divorces, Lionel shares how seeing himself as the common denominator led to transformative insights about relationship patterns. As a self-described "people pleaser," he discovered that his tendency to fix others' problems masked deeper emotional needs that went unaddressed in his marriages.Breaking Cycles Through Self-AwarenessSeth brings his legal expertise to the conversation, highlighting how emotional readiness impacts divorce proceedings. When clients focus exclusively on their former spouse's behavior rather than their own growth, it often complicates and extends the legal process. The discussion reveals how self-awareness can lead to more constructive co-parenting relationships and healthier future partnerships.From Performance to AuthenticityLionel's concept of "performative relationships" resonates throughout the conversation, as he describes moving from seeking external validation to developing genuine self-love. This transformation enabled him to build more authentic connections and achieve amicable co-parenting relationships—a goal many find challenging during divorce.Key Insights• Examine your patterns in relationships rather than focusing solely on your partner's behavior• Develop emotional resilience by understanding your authentic needs versus performative habits• Build self-awareness before entering new relationships to break recurring relationship cyclesThis episode offers invaluable guidance for anyone navigating divorce or seeking healthier relationship patterns. Through Lionel's candid sharing and Seth's legal wisdom, listeners gain practical tools for self-reflection and personal growth during major life transitions.Whether you're considering divorce, in the midst of proceedings, or rebuilding after separation, this conversation provides a roadmap for using life's challenges as opportunities for transformation and healing.Links & NotesFind Lionel on his website, LinkedIn, Facebook, InstagramCheck out The Marriage SeedSchedule a consult with Seth (00:00) - Welcome to How to Split a Toaster (00:26) - Meet Lionel Moses (00:58) - What Is the Mirror Effect?

403 Choosing Love First   It's easy to forget that we have free will, that we can choose what we love, what we like, how we choose for others to perceive us. It takes a great deal of self reflection and growth to find the parts of ourselves that are willing to speak up and fight for what we believe in, even if we must speak up and fight against ourselves.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Edward Simberg discuss everything from how they met, to their deep love of storytelling, to the core beliefs they both hold dear.    Highlights How do you live the stories you share? How do your stories reflect your values? Do you put genuine human effort into reaching out to a person?  How are your self perceptions skewed? Are you conscious of how you want to be perceived? What is something you want? And what are your next steps in getting there? If you can have foundational love and gratitude your life will change.   Quotes “You need to burn that candle a little bit, before you realize how big that fire really is.” “If you want it, it's way more likely that it's going to happen.”  “We don't choose our interests, that's one of the most interesting things I've learned lately. We don't really choose our thoughts, we don't really choose our interests, they just come to us.” “Do you think love is a choice?”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I have a few questions for you: The first is, what is something you say you're not good at and maybe it's time to ask yourself the question, am I not good at it or have I decided not to be good at it? Have I decided not to try? Is it something I call inauthentic when it's actually uncomfortable or I don't like it? The next thing I would love to hear from you about is what was your takeaway? I was thinking about the difference between love and like, and why I feel like love is a more important choice to people and things. Because that will color how you choose happiness as well. And Last, I would love to hear what you are going to do with this one precious life and having conversations -extended conversations- with people in your community. Now, Go.             And, as always, thank you for listening.  Mentioned In This Episode Shawn Achor TedTalk   About Edward - A digital nomad who's been traveling the world for the last 5 years - Business owner specialized in building premium websites and social media profiles - I have exercised every day for more than 5 years (haven't skipped a day) - Lover of dogs, philosophy books, fitness, travel, storytelling Be sure to check out Edward's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as his website Max Capacity Agency!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

This podcast explores the complexities of personal identity, change, and leadership through the lens of literature and storytelling. Edward Nelson, a lawyer and actor turned coach, discusses how archetypes and polarities can be used to understand ourselves and facilitate organisational change. The conversation delves into the challenges of authenticity, the power of empathy, and the importance of risk-taking in leadership. Edward shares insights from his work using Shakespeare's plays, particularly Henry V, to help leaders navigate difficult decisions and team dynamics. Key points: 1. Stories and archetypes provide a safe way to explore personal and organisational challenges. 2. Effective leadership requires balancing empathy with the ability to take risks and make unpopular decisions.

If you've been feeling stuck, this one's your invitation to take a breath and reset.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Underland meditation series. Last week we explored the underground as a place to dispose of what is harmful — trauma, secrets, and pain. This week, we venture deeper to discover the treasure, wisdom, and insight waiting for us in those shadowed spaces.Inspired by Robert Macfarlane's book Underland, this meditation uses the metaphor of underground cave exploration to guide you through narrow, uncomfortable passages toward expansive inner caverns of insight. Like Alice's journey down the rabbit hole, this practice invites chaos and uncertainty as pathways to profound self-discovery.What You'll Experience:Guided progressive relaxation from skin through fascia, muscle, and boneExtended silent meditation for deep inner explorationAmazon rainforest nature soundscapePractice softening resistance rather than fighting your experienceTools for working with difficult meditation sessionsPerfect for:Meditation practitioners ready for deeper shadow workAnyone struggling with dark or difficult meditation experiencesThose seeking self-discovery and inner wisdomPeople working through trauma or emotional healingClaustrophobic feelings in meditation or lifeRelated Episodes: Listen to Entering The Underland: Nature Meditation for Processing Fear and Underground Healing {part 1} for the complete exploration of disposing of what is harmful before mining for inner treasure.Content Warning: This episode discusses trauma, shadow work, and difficult emotions.

In this episode, Stephanie opens up about losing her dad and how that experience reshaped her understanding of emotional strength, healing, and resilience. Inspired by Alex Hormozi's reflections on grief, she shares how pain can become a teacher and how growth doesn't mean avoiding emotion, but learning to move through it.✅ Top 3 Takeaways:Real strength means feeling fully, not fighting your feelings. Suppressing emotion delays healing; presence and honesty rebuild it.Adversity reveals your emotional habits. The moments that shatter you also show where you've been hiding from yourself.Growth begins when you surrender control. Accepting what is (instead of resisting it) opens the door to peace, perspective, and maturity.Ready to improve your sex life and move through the challenges of your relationship?Apply for coaching here.⏱ Timestamps: 00:00–11:30 — Personal story: Losing my dad and what grief taught me about emotional strength 11:30–26:00 — How to build mental strength through adversity 26:00–End — Practical ways to move through emotion and regain control

In this episode of Persistence U with Lizbeth Meredith, I'm honored to introduce Dr. Tali Lando—pediatric ENT surgeon, survivor, and author of Breathless. I had the privilege of endorsing this book, and from the first conversation with Dr. Lando, I knew she was someone I could sit down with for hours over coffee.Breathless is more than a memoir—it's a rare look behind the curtain of physician life. Dr. Lando shares the pressure of balancing a high-stakes career, family, and her own cancer diagnosis, all while carrying the life-and-death stories of her patients. She writes with candor about the cases that shaped her career, the lessons they taught, and how those lessons seeped into her home life.We talk about the challenges of transforming medical cases into universal life lessons, the risks and rewards of vulnerability on the page, and the power of feedback—from her teenage daughter to trusted colleagues—that helped her shape this deeply human book.Listeners will also hear how Dr. Lando wrestled with questions many of us ask: Does my story matter? Will anyone care? Her persistence, coupled with mentorship and belief from others, carried this project from a private Word document to a published memoir that will touch lives far beyond the medical field.Dr. Lando's journey reminds us that resilience isn't just about surviving illness or setbacks—it's about allowing those experiences to transform how we live, work, and connect.You will learn:How personal health crises can transform the way we work and relate to others.Why stories—whether medical cases or personal struggles—need structure, feedback, and courage to resonate with readers.The universal life lessons doctors carry from their patients and how those lessons extend far beyond medicine.Connect with Dr. Tali Lando: 

402 Freedom in Healing Throughout life we may make decisions, or be subject to decisions made involving us. Whether it's first or second hand, inevitably we begin to believe in a pattern in the behavior around us, oftentimes leading to self doubt and worse. However, if we keep moving forward, actively choosing to make the best of a situation, to learn and grow in order to better ourselves for ourselves, we will find our freedom in healing.   In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Holli Tabren McEachern discuss the importance of growth, healing, and the honesty that comes with self reflection. Honesty not just with the world, but with yourself and what has happened to make you feel the way you do, and how it triggers you.    Highlights Empathy in a world of cruelty is the bravest rebellion.  How have you been programmed?  Have you ever encountered favoritism?  What choices are you making that reflect your behavior? Do you feel like you have to justify these choices?   Quotes “I think it's because we look at society, and we look at the grandma with the grandkids and the grandma always spoils the grandkids. You have this program, like your program, program from the way things are. Program from the way everybody does things.”    “And God, he prepares you for what's next. You don't know it's preparation. You don't realize that all these things that happen in your life, even the bad choices you make, will prepare you for the next thing.”  “You have to change you before anything in the situation can change.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where are you incarcerated? What are you choosing not to see in your own decisions? That maybe with a little light on them can help you find more satisfaction and happiness in your life. It's a simple question, but the answer might be tricky. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Holli Holli Tabren is an author, speaker, mentor, and reentry specialist dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives and reclaim their power after incarceration. Once sentenced to 25 years in prison, she served 10 years before her case was overturned transforming her pain into purpose. Holli now leads the Becoming HER Framework—Healed, Extraordinary, Resilient—through workshops, books, and her soon-to-launch app, equipping justice-impacted women with tools for healing, entrepreneurship, and resilience. She is the author of Blood Ain't Thicker, The Path2Redemption Anthology, and her newest release, Becoming HER. Featured on national stages and news outlets, Holli shares her story of transformation as living proof that freedom isn't just about release; it's about rebuilding. Be sure to check out her LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! And be sure to check out her website Holli Tabren!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Seeing the world as a solo traveler pushes you to show up in a way only you can, as your most authentic self. And while the experience can be daunting, it welcomes opportunities for self-exploration and discovery. To be pushed out of your comfort zone in a place that’s not your home is a gift filled with moments that are sure to sharpen and evolve your mental health. In new and unfamiliar environments, you’re forced to rely on your instincts, make decisions independently, and answer the question, “What do I want?” The clarity that comes with being alone in the noise of a new city is the kind of clarity that can be hard to find in the busyness of our day-to-day lives. It’s in those quiet moments that can reveal new parts of ourselves. This is the final episode in our series of bonus episodes, presented by our partners at Chase Sapphire Reserve, focusing on travel, mental health, and the power of putting joy at the center of your life. We hope you've enjoyed them.

Sarma Melngailis—best known from the Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan—joins me to reveal the story the headlines never told. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Sarma opens up about covert narcissistic abuse, repeated manipulation, and the long road of self-discovery that followed. We explore how empathy, idealism, and even neurodivergence can make survivors more vulnerable to covert abuse—and how these same traits can also become sources of strength and healing. In Part 1, we go beyond the public narrative into: The early relationship patterns that mirrored covert narcissistic abuse Why intelligent, capable people can still miss the warning signs The link between sensitivity, empathy, and manipulation Finding self-compassion after shame and public judgment Sarma's new memoir The Girl With The Duck Tattoo reveals the deeper truth of her experience—a story of narcissistic abuse, manipulation, and resilience. If you've ever felt unseen or misunderstood, this episode will remind you that your empathy is not your weakness—it's your superpower.

Today, I interview Catherine G. Lucas who opens up about losing her voice in the midst of a painful breakdown. In her late teens she was already standing on stage for public speaking competitions, but by the time her parents divorced during her university years, the weight of family wounds caught up with her. Instead of enjoying summer with friends, she found herself in an acute psychiatric ward, her world shattered and her voice silenced.Her breakthrough came much later, when she discovered that what had been called a breakdown could also be seen as an awakening. It took years of reframing and deep inner work to see her experience not as illness, but as a turning point with the potential for healing.Through mindfulness, patient advocacy, and writing her first book, In Case of Spiritual Emergency, Catherine began to speak from her whole self rather than hide in shame. Today she helps others step into their deeper calling, showing that finding your voice is not about perfection but about expressing the truth of who you are in a way that heals and uplifts.__________________Catherine G. Lucas is the author of four books on how to move successfully through crisis and harness the transformational power it holds. A former university professor, Catherine left her academic career behind to step into her soul's deeper calling, following a profound crisis of awakening.She went on to set up a UK charity and now helps people step into their deeper calling. Her media appearances include BBC Radio 4 and TimeWarner TV, and she regularly speaks internationally. More recently, Catherine has convened the highly acclaimed Birth the New Earth summit.__________________Find Catherine here:https://www.youtube.com/user/CatherineGLucashttps://www.catherine-g-lucas.com/https://www.co-creatingourfuture.world/https://www.co-creatingourfuture.world/free-gift-download/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

You might've grown up believing you weren't the “creative type.”Maybe someone told you your art wasn't good enough, or life pulled you toward what felt practical. After years of raising kids, caregiving, working, or just keeping things afloat, your creative side may have faded into the background.But creativity never left — it's simply waiting for you to notice it again.In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Murphy, master illustrator, portrait artist, and founder of Evolve Artist, whose work has appeared in National Geographic and Rolling Stone. From freezing construction jobs to stay-at-home dad life and a thriving art career, Kevin's self-discovery journey is both real and inspiring.What makes his story powerful isn't just his success — it's his belief that creativity isn't about talent. It's about process, attention, and learning to see differently.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the creative mindset is something you can build at any stageHow creativity myths keep us disconnected from our full selvesWhy painting for beginners is about trust, not talentA grounded way to move through creative blocksHow artistic confidence grows from structure, not pressureThe link between somatic healing and creative practiceHow to use art as hands-on learning and inner quietFirst steps to begin learning to draw, even if you never have beforeIf you've been craving stillness, a new outlet, or a way to reconnect with the part of you that used to love creating — this is your gentle reminder: you were always creative.

What if your greatest health challenge could become your most powerful teacher? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cindy Wageman, speaker, coach, and bestselling author of Completely Healed: How Understanding the Link Between Trauma, Stress, and Autoimmune Disease Helped Me Get My Life Back. Cindy opens up about her journey of healing from multiple sclerosis, sharing how faith, mindset, and self-discovery transformed her life. She reveals how years of people-pleasing and unprocessed trauma affected her health, and how learning to listen to her intuition, and to God, became the key to true healing. Together, she and Gerald explore the science of epigenetics, explaining how our thoughts, relationships, and environment can literally switch our genes on or off. One of Cindy's most powerful insights came when she realized the importance of being honest with her family about her struggles, a revelation that later inspired her work as a life and relationship coach. This heartfelt episode reminds us that real productivity starts from within, when we nurture our bodies, renew our minds, and live with purpose and balance. Let's dive in! What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction to Cindy Wageman [06:41] Addressing trauma and self-discovery [10:20] Processing trauma and stress [12:03] Daily habits for healing [14:57] Realization about stress and joy [15:51] Discovery of epigenetics [19:28] Recognizing red flags and self-care [24:53] Relationships and boundaries [27:12] Insight for parents and professionals [32:23] Closing remarks  Notable Quotes [05:56] “I had to learn through all of the experience that I went through, that I needed to find myself. Pleasers lose themselves.” – Cindy Wageman [07:24] “I decided that I was going to not listen to anyone else, but start listening to myself and my intuition  and the voice inside of me, which I feel was God,” – Cindy Wageman [08:13] “Our mind and our bodies are very closely connected. Our brains tell our body, our bodies respond.” – Cindy Wageman [11:11] “I think our bodies can go through the same process when we don't know how to process that trauma and stress.” – Gerald J. Leonard [13:48] “I learned about the eight laws of health... breathing fresh air, getting the rest that you need, exercise, nutrition, trusting in God, sunshine, and balance in life.” – Cindy Wageman [25:16] “There are very toxic people. I wanted to help everyone, I wanted to fix everyone, and I found out that I can't.” — Cindy Wageman [26:11] “There is a term in psychology called Gray Rock — it's really just being a gray rock. Just there, but not being emotionally involved at all.” — Cindy Wageman [27:21] “I think that one of the things that really has affected me through this journey was when I had multiple sclerosis was my children. I had babies, I had little kids. And I didn't tell them what was going on.” – Cindy Wageman [23:07] “I only have control over what I can control — my community, my neighbors, my family. I can give them all the love that I can.” — Cindy Wageman [29:29] “I asked God, why am I crying? And He said, Cindy, this is your story. You need to tell other people about it.” – Cindy Wageman Resources Cindy Wageman Website: cindywageman.com Facebook: facebook.com/cindywageman Instagram: instagram.com/cindywageman Book: Completely Healed: How Understanding the Link Between Trauma, Stress, and Autoimmune Disease Helped Me Get My Life Back Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.
