Podcasts about self awareness

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

Send us a textWhat if the life you're living right now is inviting you to slow down, listen deeper, and finally come home to yourself?In this powerful and soul-expanding episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits with Ann Jonas for a deeply intentional conversation on self-reflection, spirituality, and the sacred connection between the human experience and the divine. This episode isn't just a discussion—it's an invitation. An invitation to pause, to breathe, and to remember who you are beneath the noise, the conditioning, and the expectations of the world.Together, Lira and Ann explore self-reflection as a gateway to healing—both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. They unpack the idea that we are constantly reflecting and being reflected, using metaphors like “walking disco balls,” Earth school, and the Matrix to illuminate how life's challenges, triggers, and moments of contraction are not punishments, but portals for growth and expansion. This conversation gently reminds us that resilience isn't about never falling—it's about choosing to rise again with awareness.The episode also dives deep into the contrast between religion and spirituality, examining how organized systems have shaped society while spirituality offers a direct, personal relationship with God, Source, and self. Ann speaks on sovereignty, choice, and alignment—encouraging listeners to move from fear-based living into heart-led awareness, where intuition becomes the true moral compass and presence becomes power.The experience culminates in a guided moment of self-reflection and meditation, creating space for listeners to reconnect with their inner light, soften into the present moment, and affirm their inherent worth. This episode serves as a reminder that healing doesn't require perfection—it begins with presence, curiosity, and the willingness to choose yourself again and again.If this conversation resonates, take it with you. Reflect on it. Sit with it. Let it meet you where you are. And if you feel called, share it with someone who might need a gentle reminder that they are not alone on their journey.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

He talks about finding a middle ground in dealing with it, drawing from his own background with a short-tempered parent and the fallout from being overlooked as a kid. Molyneux stresses drawing clear lines with people and warns against chasing understanding from those who can't give it emotionally. In the end, he pushes for seeing anger as a cue to guard yourself, and urges building better awareness around handling feelings.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In a world where change is constant and certainty is rare, learning agility has become one of the most critical leadership capabilities for long-term success. Leaders who thrive today are not defined by what they know, but by how quickly they learn, adapt, and apply new insights in real time. Learning agility— the ability to continuously learn, unlearn, and relearn— is positioned as a leadership differentiator that fuels growth, relevance, and trust across every level of an organization. We touch on how learning agility shows up with elite athletes, musicians, and through everyday leadership moments.  Learning agility enables leaders to navigate ambiguity and adapt rapidly to changes.  They seek out and embrace feedback, stay curious and take ownership of their personal development. We also uncover practical ways leaders can build learning into their daily routines through micro-learning, coaching, peer groups, and intentional reflection. The takeaway is clear: learning-agile leaders don't just improve themselves—they model a culture of growth that allows their teams and organizations to thrive.

And yet, somehow, it didn't last.If you've ever wondered why meaningful change feels so hard to sustain, this episode is for you.In this conversation, Amy explores why insight alone—no matter how true or powerful—rarely leads to lasting transformation. Not because you failed, but because insight was never meant to carry the full weight of change on its own.This episode gently reframes skepticism as wisdom-in-the-making and invites you to consider a different path forward & one rooted in formation rather than intensity.You'll explore:Why insight often sparks change but can't sustain itHow intensity-based growth struggles to survive real lifeWhy seasons of disappointment don't mean you're resistantThe difference between performance-driven change and formation that lastsWhat it means to stay with your story long enough for wisdom to take rootThis isn't a call to try harder or hope faster. It's an invitation to slow down, notice patterns, and consider what kind of change can actually be carried over time.If you've been protecting yourself from false hope (or wondering why past breakthroughs faded), this episode offers language, clarity, and a steadier way forward.Not through reinvention.

Send us a textThis episode is dropping during my birthday week, which is usually my Super Bowl. I love my birthday. I plan it. I talk about it. I'm a dork about it. But this year, instead of full party mode, I found myself getting weirdly reflective.Maybe it's because this is my last year in my 40s. Maybe it's because I've started asking myself some bigger questions about what I want my life to look like before I hit 50. Or maybe it's because I finally slowed down long enough to look at the actual data of my life instead of just vibing on feelings and good intentions.And hoo boy. The data had thoughts.In this episode, I talk about the one ratio that you absolutely have to get right if you want to feel satisfied instead of secretly resentful. Your effort-to-results ratio. When this ratio is off, you can be working your ass off and still feel unhappy, frustrated, and vaguely annoyed at everything, without fully understanding why.I tell the story of my friend Beth to show how easy it is to chase results that require an unsustainable level of effort and how cruel we can be to ourselves when we inevitably can't maintain something that was never realistic in the first place. This exact dynamic shows up in fitness, money, relationships, careers, and honestly, just being a human.I also walk you through the super simple process I just used that exposed some pretty big mismatches in my own life, including how I've been running this podcast. Yes, changes are coming. Not because I'm burnt out or dramatic, but because the data made it impossible to ignore.If you've been trying harder and harder and wondering why it still doesn't feel good, this episode is probably going to hit a nerve. In a good way.What's Inside:The effort-to-results ratio and why getting it wrong makes everything feel harder than it shouldWhy throwing more effort at a problem is often the worst strategyHow to gather real data instead of trusting feelings that are lying to youUsing the 80/20 rule to stop overworking and start getting better resultsIf you're exhausted, frustrated, or low-key pissed off despite doing all the “right” things, this is your reminder to stop grinding and start evaluating. Look at how much effort you're giving. Look at what you're actually getting back. And ask yourself if those two things make sense together.You don't need more discipline. You don't need to push harder. You need clarity and the permission to change what isn't working.After you listen, DM me on Instagram and tell me where hard hard isn't working in your life anymore. I read every message, and your honesty genuinely shapes this show.Mentioned in This Episode:FitFeelsGood.com/strongafOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

How do we live in harmony with each other and the natural world?Cindy Forde is a thought leader and acclaimed author with over 25 years dedicated to systems change. In 2023, she won the Change Champion Award alongside leaders such as David Attenborough and Malala Yusafzai for her children's book 'Bright New World,' which was adopted by the Australian National Curriculum. She founded Planetari, pioneering Earth-led education, earning a Climate Positive Award at UN COP28. Previously MD of Blue Marine Foundation and CEO of Cambridge Science Centre, she is an Associate Fellow of University of Cambridge Homerton College where she is currently co-founding the Centre for Systemic Change. She is a trained yoga teacher and sound healing practitioner.In this profound conversation, we explore the role of spiritual practice in sustaining changemakers, the paradox of living in systems misaligned with our values, and why "cosmic time" might offer a more realistic perspective on transformation than human urgency. Cindy shares why we need the courage to build entirely new models rather than fixing broken systems, and how current education systems crush the natural interconnectedness that children understand.For more of Cindy's work:Website: https://cindyforde.world/Planetari: https://planetari.world/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindy-forde-10668911/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney/00:00 - The Guiding Question of Harmony 05:45 - Growing Up Between Two Worlds 12:30 - Discovering Spiritual Practice 18:45 - Inner and Outer Coherence 25:15 - The Corporate Paradox 30:00 - Understanding Cosmic Time 35:30 - Urgency and Thinking Differently 40:30 - Single Issues to Systems 44:00 - Courage to Call Out 47:30 - Crushing Natural Interconnectedness 50:00 - What Is a Good Life

Message me your 'Takeaways'.What if the goals you're avoiding aren't about lacking confidence but lacking conviction?In this episode, I'm sharing frameworks from my Instagram series "Lachie's Learnings" that explain why: → Your strong body is the foundation for a clear mind → Confidence doesn't arrive first, it follows conviction → Men are wired to grow when they're needed (responsibility isn't burden, it's purpose) → Anti-goals matter more than goals (what I refused to sacrifice for 58 marathons)If you're a man who wants to show up for your family while still chasing what you're capable of, this will shift how you approach 2026.The Core 4: Strong Body | Calm Mind | Clear Purpose | Confident LifeFollow @lachlanstuart on Instagram for daily "Lachie's Learnings"Support the showTake the "Life Performance" Scorecard: HERE Follow Lachlan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lachlanstuart/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@lachlanstuart91Website: https://themanthatcanproject.com/Newsletter: https://lachlan-stuart-tmtcp.ck.page/profileDo Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow

Are you filling a hole in the soul with habits or substances that promise comfort—but never truly deliver? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Judy Rosenberg breaks down why smoking and other addictions are often not about the substance itself, but about control, confidence, performance, and the ego's need for validation. She explains how these behaviors become defense mechanisms—temporary fixes that ultimately keep us stuck instead of helping us grow. Dr. Judy dives deep into the concept of alignment and resonance, revealing how true transformation begins when we step away from ego-driven patterns and start building what she calls the “Big I”—the highest, most evolved version of ourselves. Whether you're considering quitting smoking, breaking an unhealthy habit, or simply wanting to understand why change feels so difficult, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and real tools for becoming the cause of better outcomes in your life. Cold turkey or gradual withdrawal—the choice is yours.But growth begins the moment awareness enters the room. Dr. Judy Rosenberg is the author of Be the Cause: Healing Human Disconnect and is available on Amazon.#DrJudyRosenberg #StopSmoking #AddictionRecovery #HealingTheSoul #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheHabit #EmotionalHealing #InnerWork #EgoVsHigherSelf #Alignment #Resonance #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousLiving #HealingJourney #BeTheCause #SelfAwareness #Transformation #MindBodySoul

Send us a textMy confession and an invitation to release…As a faithful woman, you aren't burned out because you lack discipline; you're exhausted because you've been carrying a responsibility God never asked you to bear.In this episode, Amy explores the difference between responding to God and taking responsibility for outcomes and how easily faith can slip from love into pressure, control, and performance.This conversation isn't about becoming irresponsible or lowering the bar. It's about releasing the heavy yoke and rediscovering a faith formed by belovedness rather than fear.You'll explore:Why responsibility often becomes a hidden spiritual burden.How Scripture reframes obedience as response, not self-management.What Jesus meant when He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light.How fear, control, and the need for significance quietly shape our faith.Why discipline isn't rejected, but reordered around love.If faith has started to feel heavy, demanding, or joyless, this episode offers language, permission, and a better way forward.Not through striving, but through response.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Change rarely fails because people don't care; it fails because we misunderstand what drives behavior. With author and change leadership expert Huw Thomas, we dig into the real forces underneath stalled transformations: loss aversion, identity threats, and the quiet stories we tell ourselves that keep us clinging to the status quo. From childhood curiosity to adult routines, we unpack how our wiring prioritizes safety, why we catastrophize the unlikely, and how a few practical shifts can restore agency and momentum.Huw shares a candid look at navigating personal and professional change—moving countries, facing a health crisis, and reframing setbacks as stepping stones. We explore the messy middle of change and the identity tension it creates, including the classic “expert with the legendary spreadsheet” who resists a new system because it threatens who they are at work. Instead of erasing the old self, we talk about upgrading to version 2.0: preserving dignity, building new capability, and making the future identity feel real through micro-wins, visibility, and support.You'll learn concrete tools: pattern interrupts to test assumptions, emotional labeling to reduce intensity, future-self framing to re-anchor perspective, and success mapping that pairs a vivid destination with the true cost of inaction. We also preview why organizational change is so hard—scale, diversity, influence networks—and why technology and processes don't create value until humans believe they can, want to, and know how to use them. If you're ready to stop focusing on barriers and start steering toward the gaps, this conversation offers a clear, humane roadmap.If this sparked an insight, share it with one person who needs it, hit subscribe on your favorite podcast app or YouTube, and leave a review to help more leaders find the show.

What's the difference between self-awareness and self-consciousness? In today's bonus episode, Ryan shares an excerpt from his conversation with high-performance expert Steve Magness on how to spot the difference.

Do you ever wonder if the quietest voice in the room can truly lead—and win—in a world built for extroverts? This episode of Do Good to Lead Well is a refreshing, insightful journey into that very question, as I sit down with Benjamin Friedman, author of “Silent Strength: The Introvert's Guide to Building Successful Startups.”The conversation opens with Benjamin's “me-search;” his personal and professional quest to understand how introverts can succeed when the business world often favors extroverted traits. Can an introvert be authentic and ambitious, all while driving top-tier results? Absolutely, says Benjamin, but it's all about leveraging your way of being, rather than trying to fit someone else's mold.Listeners will come away with practical advice for managing meetings, leveraging networks, and navigating self-doubt. He also shares tools for raising our self-awareness, the power of a “challenge network,” and the importance of aligning values with the people you build alongside. When fear or imposter syndrome strikes, Friedman reframes those moments as evidence you care and offers ways to harness uncertainty as fuel for growth.The common thread throughout this episode is one of curiosity and vulnerability. It is about questioning our assumptions and beliefs while building a roadmap to authentic success. What You'll Learn- The power of the quiet leader.- Self-awareness as a foundation.- Leveraging a Challenge Network.- How to harness fear and navigate uncertainty.- Reframing networking.- The secret sauce of vulnerability.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Silent Strength: The Origin Story (06:01) - The Universal Value of Introvert Insights (11:42) - Self-Awareness as a Foundation for Success (18:44) - Reframing Imposter Syndrome & Building Presence (22:29) - Empowering Introverted Voices in Meetings (28:56) - The Power of a Challenge Network (36:15) - Getting Useful Feedback (40:29) - Navigating Fear, Uncertainty & Opportunity (45:32) - Thriving as an Introvert in Sales & Networking (50:25) - Co-Founders, Relationships & Final InsightsKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Feedback, Personal Growth, Vulnerability, Leading with Intention, Curiosity, Startup Founders, Introverts in Leadership, Challenge Network, Networking Strategies, Sales (for Introverts), Eustress vs Distress, Leveraging Strengths, Authenticity, Managing Meetings, Inclusive Environments, Managing Fear, CEO Success

What if love wasn't just chemistry or chance but something you could actually measure? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with author and data analyst Zoey Charif to explore how love, attraction, and long term compatibility can be understood through data, self awareness, and values. Zoey shares the story behind her book “Love Can, in Fact, Be Calculated” and explains how she developed a values based framework to predict relationship success. She breaks down the concept of a “self score,” why admiration matters more than equality, and how misalignment in values quietly erodes relationships over time. Darius and Zoey also unpack the difference between values and trait preferences, why people are often drawn to familiar but destructive patterns, and how this framework can be used as a communication tool rather than a reason to walk away. In this episode, Darius and Zoey will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Name Origins (02:46) Astrology and Self-Acceptance (05:49) Zoe's Journey to Understanding Love (08:40) The Concept of Calculating Love (14:09) Self-Assessment and Core Values (16:55) The Importance of Self-Score in Relationships (22:44) Navigating Aspirational Values (25:34) Generational Perspectives on Relationships (26:09) Generational Insights on Relationships (28:26) The Importance of Dependability and Reliability (31:02) Understanding Traits vs. Values in Relationships (34:27) The Challenge of Rewiring Attraction (37:47) Self-Awareness in Relationship Patterns (43:40) The Role of Humor in Attraction (49:19) Navigating Emotional Needs and Values Zoey Charif is the President of Business Plans USA, where she leads a team creating business plans, financial models, pitch decks, and market research for businesses of all sizes.
