Doubt isn't protecting you from failure, it's protecting you from your feelings.For every ambitious person, doubt is the silent killer of greatness. Joe breaks down what he's learned from working with Silicon Valley's top performers: doubt isn't an intellectual problem, it's a misunderstood emotional signal.

Send us a textFor your Free Masterclass Gift - Click HereWhy do intelligent, self-aware people still feel stuck - even when they're motivated, capable, and trying hard to change?In this episode, Dr Amen Kaur explores the science -  why “starting over” often backfires - and why real change isn't a motivation or planning problem, but a nervous system and safety problem.Using neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, we break down how the brain responds to uncertainty. When the future feels unclear, the brain doesn't default to wisdom or creativity - it defaults to prediction and threat reduction. This is why overthinking, overplanning, and constant problem-solving can actually increase stuckness instead of resolving it.We unpack key scientific concepts including:Intolerance of uncertainty and how it drives anxiety, hesitation, and avoidanceThreat perception (amygdala activation) and why change can feel dangerous even when it's logicalRumination loops and why repetitive thinking narrows perception and optionsReward prediction and why the brain can underestimate the benefits of changeWhy familiar stress can feel safer than unfamiliar peaceThis episode explains why you can't outthink a conditioned system - and why clarity doesn't come from analysing more, but from restoring safety and regulation.As the system settles, perception widens. When perception widens, new options become visible. And when the body feels safe enough, action stops feeling forced - and starts feeling obvious.This is not a motivational reset or a “new year, new you” conversation. It's a grounded, science-backed explanation of why you were never broken - and how embodiment, not effort, is what brings you back online.If you've been trying to force clarity, restart your life, or plan your way into change - this episode offers a different path: one that meets the mind with logic, and the body with safety.

Stefan Molyneux draws on nearly 25 years of marriage to outline principles that can improve partnerships of all kinds. He stresses equality and teamwork in both personal and work relationships, and recounts his time managing a team where he focused on serving others. He points to methods like 360-degree reviews as ways to encourage honest feedback and self-awareness, reminding people to think about how their behavior affects those around them. He also talks about the role of shared value in any relationship and the importance of regular self-examination to prevent things from getting stuck. In the end, he suggests putting these ideas into practice to strengthen bonds and keep growing personally.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

With a background in jazz and a long-standing fascination with human change and habits, she creates tools, conversations, and projects that explore how people make sense of themselves and one another. Her work includes Amiko® Cards, the Adventures in Behaviour Change podcast, a series of children's books, and an album of original piano music.In this conversation, we explore curiosity, bewilderment, and the value of staying with experience rather than rushing to explain or resolve it.

Mindset creates the ceiling. Influence determines how far you go. In this powerful Best Of Mindset and Influence mashup, Kelly Siegel brings together elite performers, innovators, and thought leaders to break down what it really takes to master your mind, define your identity, and influence the world around you without losing yourself in the process. From Olympic champion Justin Gatlin on mental warfare and identity after sport… to JoAnn Garbin on innovation, trust, and leadership lessons from Microsoft… to Craig Siegel on consciousness, discomfort, and quantum leaps… to Rene Rodriguez on influence, emotional intelligence, and significance… This episode is a masterclass in mental toughness, purpose, self-awareness, and earned influence. If you want to think clearer, lead stronger, and show up with authority and authenticity, this one's for you. Key Takeaways:

Forget the “new year, new you” slogans. We trade hype for honesty and design a year that actually fits your values and energy. We start by reframing 2025 with a pride audit: the tough moments you handled with more grace, the people you helped, and the places you chose integrity over convenience. That grounding matters because leaders often spot gaps faster than growth, and without pride, we keep chasing the next milestone without ever arriving.From there, we run a clean truth audit—no shame, just ownership. What did you call important but never scheduled? Which habits drained your best energy? We unpack the long game and why consistency beats intensity. Drawing on Atomic Habits, we shift from outcome obsession to identity and systems: the real flex is the small habit you don't break. We explore the math of compounding and the mindset that keeps you steady when motivation fades.We also bring in a powerful lens on courage from Emmy-winning broadcaster and author Anne-Marie Anderson. Audacity isn't recklessness; it's aligned, season-aware boldness. You'll define one brave Q1 swing, then make it practical with the Three Wins Weekly framework—one win for work, one for health, one for relationships—and protect them with time blocks that match your natural rhythms. Add Michael Bungay Stanier's minimum viable start to break inertia, and layer Brendan Burchard's daily intentionality so you show up how your team needs: curious, inspiring, or decisive. We close with a tight 2026 plan: choose a compass word, pick three outcomes, build weekly systems and accountability, and lock in that audacious move.Ready to stop living by default and start living by design? Subscribe, share this with a colleague who needs a reset, and tell us your 2026 theme and your one bold swing.

I wasn't planning to begin a new season of the podcast just yet — and yet something called me back.So this feels like a bonus episode. A moment of reconnection. A gentle hello.In this short reflection, I share what's been feeling most present for me as we move through this season — particularly the intertwining of kindness and boundaries, and how deeply they belong together.I explore:Why boundaries often come into sharper focus at this time of yearHow clarity can be an act of kindness — to ourselves and othersThe quiet confidence that comes from knowing what feels OK, and what doesn'tThe beauty of honouring each other's needs with attention and careThere's no fixing or teaching here — just a naming of what feels alive, and an invitation to notice what might be asking for your attention too.I'll be back with a new season in the new year. For now, this is a pause, a bridge, and a warm hello.With love. ★ Support this podcast ★

Felix Gonzalez, founder & CEO of Archer Law, tells the story of leaving high-pressure litigation to build a 20-year real estate law practice in Chicago — a practice that has weathered market crashes, protected investors, and helped communities. In this episode of People Not Titles, Felix shares real legal lessons, practical advice for agents/investors/landlords, and an urgent case for preparation and integrity in real estate.From Litigator to Legacy — How Felix Gonzalez Built a 20-Year Chicago Real Estate Law PracticeFull episode summaryJoin host Steve Kaempf and returning guest Felix Gonzalez as they unpack a career built on adaptability, deep client service, and continuous learning. Felix covers his start in personal-injury and insurance defense, the pivot to transactional real estate, surviving the 2006–2008 market collapse, building Archer Law into a legacy practice, and the modern legal realities for Chicago investors and landlords — from AS-IS transactions to concealed defect claims and eviction work. He also discusses his work training houses of worship on security and his philosophy of “peace through strength.”Key takeaways (actionable for agents, investors & landlords):• Why you should consult an attorney before buying investment properties.• How “AS-IS” contracts really work — what buyers can (and can't) request after inspection.• Practical landlord onboarding: background checks, IDs, leases, and documentation to avoid costly evictions.• How market downturns shift transactional work into litigation — diversify your legal strategy.• Warning signs of concealed defects (mold, undisclosed repairs) and how to preserve claims.• Why houses of worship need a security plan and how to start one responsibly.Resources & links:→ Website — Archer Law: https://www.archerlaw.com→ Full podcast hub — People, Not Titles: https://www.peoplenottitles.com→ Sponsored by — Land Trust Title Services→ Connect with the show:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peoplenotti...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peoplenottitlesTwitter: https://twitter.com/sjkaempfSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1uu5kTv...If you found value in this episode:✅ Like the video — it helps others find it.✅ Subscribe for weekly interviews with real estate leaders.✅ Comment: What legal tip from Felix will you use next?

How Do I Hear God Clearly? Prophetic Words, Self-Awareness, & Trusting the Holy Spirit | WO #162

In this inspiring and illuminating conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with Inna Segal, bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, to explore how pain, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can become powerful gateways to healing, self-awareness, and inner freedom. Inna shares her extraordinary personal journey from debilitating chronic illness and profound grief to discovering her intuitive healing abilities — and dedicating her life to helping others reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies. Dr. Dan and Inna break down why the body is never the enemy, how slowing down is the first essential step toward wellness, and why meaningful healing requires curiosity, courage, compassion, and patience. Inna explains how unresolved childhood wounds, ancestral trauma, and unprocessed emotions can shape our physical and emotional experiences — and how simple daily practices can begin to restore balance, empowerment, and alignment. Listeners will learn how to tune into the body's signals, use breath and attention to shift internal states, embrace personal growth without overwhelming themselves, and understand healing as a lifelong journey toward authenticity, connection, and wholeness. If you're seeking hope, clarity, or a renewed sense of purpose along your wellness path, this episode offers profound insights and practical tools to help you begin or continue your transformation.

What if the hardest part of healing isn't forgiving others — but returning to the part of yourself you left behind?In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas shares a deeply personal story from childhood — a moment of abandonment that shaped how he learned to survive by disconnecting from his true self. What begins as a seemingly small memory reveals a universal pattern: when fear, pain, or trauma overwhelms us, we don't just endure it — we abandon parts of ourselves to stay safe.As adults, that survival strategy becomes a prison.We wear masks.We armor up.We perform strength.And slowly, we lose touch with the innocent, truthful, loving self we once were.In this episode, Lucas explores:How childhood trauma teaches us to abandon our inner childWhy survival masks feel protective but keep us stuckThe difference between coping and healingWhy freedom requires facing, naming, and speaking past painHow to become the hero and rescuer of your own inner innocenceThis isn't about blaming the past — it's about reclaiming what was lost.Healing begins when you stop waiting for someone else to save you…and choose to return to the part of you that never stopped longing for truth and love.You don't heal by becoming stronger.You heal by becoming whole.If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in performance, or afraid to slow down and feel — this episode is for you.

Anders Sorensen is a Danish clinical psychologist with a PhD in psychiatry.  He's one of the world's leading authorities on psychiatric drug dependence and the complex science of safely discontinuing these medications. His  book "Crossing Zero: The Art and Science of Coming Off-and Staying off- Psychiatric drugs" is a seminal book on how to help people break psychiatric drug dependence and restore their inner compass and relationship to emotions. This conversation discusses emotion regulation in great depth and the lost art of how to respond to our inner world of thoughts, memories and emotions. Anders also discusses the future of mental health, his recent experience with psilocybin and how to restore sanity living in a culture in decline. Substack: https://crossingzero.substack.com/X: https://x.com/_AndersSorensenPurchase Crossing Zero on Amazon Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Send us a textClick here for Free MasterclassWhy smart, self-aware people get stuck in rumination - and how safety, not more thinking, creates change...Tired of doing everything “right” and still feeling stuck?This episode with Dr Amen Kaur explores a hard truth many capable, self-aware people face: when a sharp, analytical mind tries to heal emotional pain through more thinking, rumination takes over. It feels productive and addictive at times - but research shows it often magnifies negative emotion, narrows perspective, and predicts depression, anxiety, relapse, and stalled healing.If you grew up intelligent, self-reliant, and undertrained in emotional regulation, your brilliance may actually be working against you - not because you're broken, but because your nervous system never learned how to feel safe before solving problems.In this episode, I share the turning point from my own journey- how insight kept piling up while real-life results didn't change and ground it in long-term psychological research. Large-scale longitudinal studies show that rumination predicts the onset of depression (even in people who weren't depressed to begin with), increases anxiety and trauma symptoms, and is linked to poorer outcomes in talk-based therapies when rumination isn't addressed directly.We break down what actually helps: • Why problem-solving fails when the nervous system is dysregulated • How rumination keeps you stuck in defense instead of healing • Why insight alone doesn't create relief • How biological safety restores clarity, context, and forward momentumYou'll learn how compassion interrupts the inner courtroom, why your body—not your thoughts—holds the signal for change, and how to recognize the exact moment to shift from thinking to sensing.We also explore how rumination hijacks attention, causes you to miss real opportunities right in front of you, and keeps highly intelligent people stuck for years - not because nothing changes, but because their system can't perceive change.You'll leave with practical, body-led prompts you can use today:regulate first, name the feeling without judgment, then choose the next small, grounded action.Your mind isn't broken. It's brilliant and overburdened.Give it a safer body to think from, and clarity returns naturally.If this resonates, follow the show, share this episode with someone who overthinks, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

Happy Naming is about giving yourself an accurate assessment of the way things are, Knowing your limits helps you balance, and knowing your starting point helps you grow, Self-Awareness affords you the capacity to evaluate and understand how you got this far And allows for the clarity of purpose and the vision to know how far you have yet to go.   [full text below]   Ep. 433 - Happy Naming We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I get the draw of softening language to lessen the blow, and yet It runs the risk of diluting the meaning of what you're trying to express, Like saying “I'm experiencing slight feelings of annoyance and upset,” Instead of just saying “I'm mad and it's giving me a lot of stress.” Adding abstractions and euphemisms doesn't always make things better, In some cases it can even create disconnection when you need to recognize That facts aren't that scary, and not every word starts with a scarlet letter, And that hiding from reality makes things worse, burying truth under lies. If you can't even name it, then you certainly can't spot it or face it,  And it'll forever linger to threaten, frighten and worry you to death, An unnamed danger endlessly lurking, defying any attempt to erase it, While an identified feeling or state is as manageable as one's own breath. Then once named, located, defined, and acknowledged it becomes containable, If I'm blue, I don't say “I'm having persistent sorrowful leanings,” I just say “I'm sad,” And once I do, then the path appears and reaching the summit seems attainable, As I get to work helping my heart strengthen and heal until I don't feel quite so bad. And it also keeps me from going overboard the other way into doom speech! When we turn truths into exaggerations, they can get away from us but quick, So that when merely feeling anxious, we instead call ourselves broken and beyond reach, Losing any and all trust in our own ability to handle life and thereby make ourselves sick. Happy Naming is about giving yourself an accurate assessment of the way things are, Knowing your limits helps you balance, and knowing your starting point helps you grow, Self-Awareness affords you the capacity to evaluate and understand how you got this far And allows for the clarity of purpose and the vision to know how far you have yet to go. Haha Yowza  

Celebrate our 250th episode with expert strategies that make tough conversations easier — and more meaningful.Some of the most meaningful shifts in how we communicate come from the moments that challenge us the most.

From Amy Gallo's reminder that the “right kind of conflict” leads to better outcomes to Jenn Wynn's framework for calming our nervous system before stepping into a hard conversation and Julia Minson's HEAR method for signaling genuine curiosity, each tool helps turn tension into understanding for every stage of conflict. And with Joseph Grenny's guidance on noticing when our motives shift from problem-solving to winning, this episode highlights how self-awareness can reset even the toughest moments.

Is there a correlation between a person's Working Genius (WG) pairings and their emotional intelligence (EQ)? Also, how can you use your Working Genius results to strengthen your emotional intelligence?In episode 102 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore how Working Genius and emotional intelligence intersect, and where they don't. They explain that while no Working Genius type predicts EQ, the Working Genius model is a powerful tool for developing the self-awareness and social awareness that foster emotional intelligence.Topics explored in this episode: (02:27) Is There a Link Between Genius Types and EQ?* Pat clarifies that Working Genius and EQ are independent, emphasizing that self-awareness (not wiring) drives emotional intelligence.(05:29) Self-Awareness, Rough Edges, and Workplace Behavior* How understanding your working frustrations increases EQ.* How low self-awareness manifests in everyday interactions.(11:14) Social Awareness, Curiosity, and Understanding Others* Why EQ requires not only self-awareness but also a genuine desire to understand others.* Connecting curiosity to humility and vulnerability, noting how Working Genius accelerates relational understanding.(17:35) Building Relational EQ * How to lovingly offer feedback that raises another person's emotional intelligence.* How self-awareness and understanding others—not your Genius letters—are what transform your effectiveness and relationships.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

In this deeply honest episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Shane Fuller—former pastor, husband, and father of four—for a powerful conversation about the complexity of change and what it truly takes for men and fathers to become who they want to be.   Rather than a dramatic downfall or instant breakthrough, Shane's story unfolds through layers: childhood influences, faith formation, identity pressure, emotional suppression, and the quiet realization that doing all the “right” things doesn't always lead to a healthy or fulfilled life. Together, Nick and Shane unpack how discouragement, shame, and unresolved pain often masquerade as anger, addiction, or control—and why most men are trying to fix the wrong problem.   The episode explores how change actually happens: through self-awareness, acceptance, consistency, and small daily decisions—not perfection or willpower. Shane offers compassionate insight into fatherhood, emotional leadership, and how tending to our inner life transforms the way we show up for our spouses and children.   This conversation is for the man who knows something needs to change, feels overwhelmed by where to start, and wants to grow without burning everything down. Shane's story is a reminder that meaningful change is rarely simple—but it is always possible.   Episode Timeline •00:00 Introduction and Greetings •00:54 Childhood Memories and Family Background •02:49 Moving to Cedar Falls •07:19 First Jobs and Early Interests •13:36 Understanding and Managing Emotions •23:04 The Importance of Self-Awareness •30:44 Navigating Faith and Family •34:55 College and Faith Formation •36:08 Theology and Personal Growth •41:39 Struggles with Pastoring •44:22 Rediscovering Compassion •50:07 Embracing Perspective and Change •56:31 Addressing Hurt and Anger •01:02:50 Practical Steps for Positive Change •01:05:39 The Power of Positive Attention •01:16:07 Small Changes, Big Impact •01:17:21 Overcoming Shame and Self-Doubt •01:18:13 Breaking the Cycle of Negative Beliefs •01:19:19 The Power of Consistency in Parenting •01:34:08 The Joys and Challenges of Fatherhood •01:43:44 Advice for Those Feeling Stuck •01:46:23 Final Thoughts and Farewell   ⸻   Key Themes •Why change for men is complex and often misunderstood •Discouragement, shame, and the roots of anger •Faith beyond performance and pressure •Fatherhood, emotional presence, and leadership at home •Small, consistent changes that reshape families   This episode speaks directly to fathers who feel stuck between who they are and who they want to be—and are ready to understand how real change actually works.   Website | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book Appointment | B2B Meeting Website: www.domesticdadproject.com    YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project   Shanes Website: https://fullercs.com    

The holidays are here… which means joy, cookies, twinkle lights, and—let's be honest—a whole lot of humans who can push our buttons. In this solo episode, Anne breaks down a powerful emotional-intelligence concept she calls “freezing people.” It's the unconscious habit of locking someone into one moment, one mistake, or one harmful comment… and then carrying that version of them forever.Using real-life stories, a little tough love, and her signature playful honesty, Anne explores how freezing people hurts us more than them, ramps up holiday stress, and blocks us from healthier communication and relationships. She shares a simple mindset shift that helps you see others as full, evolving humans—so you can walk into family gatherings (or LinkedIn encounters!) with more EQ, less dread, and a more grounded sense of self-awareness.Whether it's a colleague who once shut you down, a family member who offended you five years ago, or the cousin with that one unfortunate moment—we all freeze people. But we can unfreeze them… and unfreeze ourselves in the process.In this episode you'll learn:Why your brain “freezes” people—and how emotional intelligence helps you thaw the storyHow freezing impacts your stress, relationships, and ability to communicateA perspective-shift you can use before walking into holiday gatheringsHow to see people through multiple lenses (their child, their partner, their best friend… even their dog!)A simple EQ practice to create more ease, compassion, and resilience this seasonPerfect for you if……you want a calmer holiday, stronger relationships, or a little emotional-intelligence tune-up before Aunt Mildred brings up that thing again.Take a breath. Unfreeze a story. And dance through these holidays with just a little more grace and a whole lot less dread.

These tyrants are negative to the core and cant do good.  The fight is to know what an oppressor is and how a system operates from this oppression. The euro colonizers designs all the laws to neglect BLACK People from benefiting from the Land. The Black people are enslaved property on stolen land not able to benefit from the life they live!

Episode 3831: Dr. Benjamin Hardy challenges readers to stop avoiding discomfort and instead embrace difficult emotions as the gateway to meaningful growth and identity transformation. By consistently acting despite fear, resistance, or insecurity, you build real confidence and create a life driven by courage, clarity, and purpose. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/@benjaminhardy/how-to-deal-with-uncomfortable-emotions-and-reshape-your-identity-58142db8cfd4 Quotes to ponder: "Pain, discomfort, shock, boredom, impostor syndrome, awkwardness, fear, being wrong, failing, ignorance, looking stupid, your avoidance of these feelings is stopping you from a life beyond your wildest imagination." "Confidence is an effect, not a cause. Identity is an effect, not a cause." "You just need to walk past the emotional wall, the electrical fence, which paralyzes and imprisons 99% of people."
