Podcasts about self regulation

How can ADHDers thrive at work? Navigating the workplace with ADHD presents unique challenges, but it also offers a distinct set of strengths and perspectives. Unlocking our best work can require a tailored approach: “gamifying” mundane tasks, offloading cognitive weight to digital tools, and finding unconventional ways to manage energy, focus, and time. When combined with foundational self-care, these strategies can transform perceived limitations into powerful creative assets. The strategies themselves often become valuable contributions to the wider team. For instance, visual storytelling can help an ADHD mind retain complex information and, at an organizational scale, that same approach becomes a pillar of an inclusive, high-impact communication strategy. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Scott Mooney, an award-winning educational illustrator with over 30 years of experience. Scott shares candidly about his late diagnosis of ADHD, his specific strategies for self-management and productivity, and how visual storytelling can bridge communication gaps in the workplace.

▷ 本集引導在開始之前，先跟著我，吐一口氣。不是為了冷靜，而是為了——讓你的身體，先卸下它正在「撐住」的狀態。你不需要撐著聽。這一集，不是要你更理性。▷ 本集寫給誰如果你是在高壓、快節奏、長期需要做決策的環境裡工作的人—— 你可能會在這一集裡，被說中。你可能在金融、科技、創業、投資或管理層。你習慣分析、判斷、評估風險。你很清楚：情緒不能亂來。但你也可能最近開始發現一件事——你不是不理性，可是你的人生，開始走不太動。決策變慢了。能量變低了。不是焦慮，而是一種說不上來的卡住。▷ 本集核心我們常常被教導，要「處理情緒」。冷靜一點。理性一點。不要被影響。但從神經系統與身體的角度來看，這裡有一個關鍵誤解：情緒不是事件，而是一個需要被完成的生理反應循環。當反應被啟動，卻沒有走完，它不會消失。它會留在身體裡，佔用你的 nervous system capacity。這就是為什麼你明明沒有情緒化，卻開始出現——決策疲勞、反應過大、關鍵時刻卡住，或是什麼都不想決定。不是你不夠理性，而是你的系統，已經被太多「未完成的反應」佔滿了。▷ Burnout 的真相Burnout 很少只是累。從 somatic 的角度來看，它更像是一個訊號：你的情緒循環，已經沒有空間被完成了。你沒有時間失望，於是失望變成冷漠。你沒有時間憤怒，於是憤怒變成疲憊。你沒有時間害怕，於是害怕變成拖延。最後你會進入一個狀態：「我沒有什麼情緒，但我什麼都不想動。」那不是你不想要人生，而是你的身體在說：我不能再承受任何新的東西了。▷ Season 2 的關鍵推進Season 1，我們說的是：情緒是資訊，是理解，是 Reset。Season 2，我們要往前一步問：如果你已經懂了情緒，為什麼人生還是卡住？答案常常不是因為你沒聽懂，而是因為——情緒從來沒有被身體完成。這一集，是把情緒，從「我懂了」，帶到「我為什麼走不動」。▷ Somatic Practice｜完成，而不是處理這不是宣洩，也不是分析。而是一個 very subtle、但關鍵的 somatic completion 練習。當你想到一件最近讓你有壓力、卻「沒有時間處理」的事，覺察身體第一個反應。不是去改變它，而是讓它多存在幾秒。然後問身體一句話：「如果你可以完成這個反應，你會想做什麼？」可能只是呼吸、伸展、後退半步、鬆一鬆肩膀。讓身體完成它原本就想完成的動作。這，就是完成。▷ 本集不是要你「立刻前進」如果你聽完有一點點鬆，很好。但你也可能發現，回到生活後，那些反應還是會回來。這不是你沒學會，而是因為——高壓環境，從來沒有為完成預留空間。而一個人，很難在高壓結構裡，為自己 hold space。▷ 為什麼「完成」不是一個人能做的事我們被教導要成熟、要自己處理情緒。但這其實違反了人類神經系統的設計。因為情緒反應，本來就是在「被接住」的情境裡完成的。你之所以卡住，不是因為你做錯了什麼，而是因為你一直試圖—— 一個人走完一個需要容器的過程。▷ Work with LolaThe Lola System™ 90 不是讓你更會處理情緒，而是讓你在一個不需要再撐、不需要再切斷身體反應的場域裡， 完成那些你一個人走不完的循環。如果你在聽這一集時，心裡很清楚地浮現一句話：「這不是我一個人可以完成的。」Apply for The Lola System™ 90 https://lolalinocean.com/apply這是一個邀請制的入口，為「準備好真正改變，但不想再撐」的女性而設。▷ Connect with LolaWebsite｜https://lolalinocean.com Instagram｜https://www.instagram.com/lolalolalin LinkedIn｜https://www.linkedin.com/in/lolalin

In this episode, I sit down with Emotional Intelligence expert Jess Cameron to explore a skill many of us were never taught - how to understand and regulate our emotions.Most of us were taught how to achieve, perform and push through discomfort. But very few of us were taught emotional awareness, emotional regulation or how to communicate what we're actually feeling. Jess breaks down what emotional intelligence really means in practical terms. It's not about being overly emotional or “soft.” It's about self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and developing the ability to respond intentionally instead of reacting from old patterns.We also explore intuition - that quiet inner voice that often gets drowned out by mental noise, stress and overthinking. Jess shares a pivotal year in her life where she chose to follow her intuition in every decision, even when it defied logic. That experiment reshaped her career and became the foundation of her work as a mindset and emotional intelligence coach.This conversation goes deep into modern relationship dynamics, including masculine and feminine energy, emotional suppression in men and the desire for emotional depth in women. We discuss how emotional safety impacts intimacy, communication and connection - and why emotional regulation is essential for healthy relationships, effective leadership and personal growth.Jess shares practical insights on: • EQ vs IQ • How to regulate emotions in high-pressure situations • The role of intuition in decision making • Masculine and feminine dynamics in modern relationships • Parenting with emotional awareness • Why anger is not bad - but mismanaged anger isAt its core, this episode is about building emotional resilience and self-trust. Because you cannot regulate what you refuse to acknowledge. And when you develop the skill of emotional regulation, everything shifts - your leadership, your relationships, your confidence and your sense of self.If you want to strengthen your emotional intelligence, build better relationships, and respond with clarity instead of reacting from habit, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Inside this podcast:- Why emotional intelligence is more than a soft skill- How intuition gets drowned out by mental noise- Why you cannot regulate emotions you avoid- The tension between masculinity, femininity and emotional depth- How awareness allows you to respond instead of reactConnect with Jess:Instagram  → ⁠https://bit.ly/3ZGbKMv⁠ Website → ⁠jesscameron.com⁠ Connect with Steve:Instagram → ⁠https://bit.ly/3KARQhR⁠ LinkedIn  → ⁠https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj⁠ Episode Highlights00:00:00 - Episode Trailer00:02:30 - Emotional intelligence beyond buzzwords00:05:00 - Observing thoughts and separating identity from mind00:07:00 - Fine tuning intuition like a radio frequency00:10:00 - Listen to the whisper or face the sledgehammer00:12:00 - The career defining moment of saying no00:15:00 - Following intuition despite fear00:18:00 - IQ versus EQ and the limits of logic00:20:00 - Judging intentions versus judging actions00:24:00 - Emotional intelligence in conflict00:28:00 - Masculine and feminine energy explained00:32:00 - Why emotions were labeled as weakness00:35:00 - Regulation versus suppression00:38:00 - Invalidation disguised as positivity00:41:00 - How men shut down in relationships00:45:00 - Creating safe emotional space00:49:00 - Awareness as the key to personal growthABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

▷ 本集引導在開始之前，先吐一口氣。不是為了放鬆，而是為了讓你的身體，先卸下它不需要再扛的東西。你不需要撐著聽。這一集，不是來要求你的。▷ 本集寫給誰如果你是一個高效率、高表現、在團隊裡常常被依賴、被指派、被期待的人 ——你很可能會在這一集裡，聽到一些你從來沒有被允許說出口的感覺。這一集不是給「不努力的人」。這一集是給 —— 越有能力，越難停下來的人。給那些：明明做得很好，卻越來越累；明明沒有出錯，卻總覺得哪裡不對的人。▷ 本集核心高表現者的「卡住」，幾乎從來不是因為能力不足。很多時候，是因為——你的 nervous system capacity 已經被用完了。你以為你是在把事情做好，但你其實常常在替整個系統「補漏洞」：團隊沒接住的，你接老闆沒處理的，你扛家庭情緒沒消化的，你吞氣氛尷尬的，你緩和你的高效率，慢慢變成一種「過度承擔」。你用你的神經系統在 hold space，但系統並沒有為你 hold space。▷ 在本集你會經驗到為什麼「卡住」不是自律下降，而是承載力用完台灣文化裡，「責任內化」如何被獎勵、被內建成習慣為什麼你停不下來不是不會休息，而是「不敢停」你真正需要的不是更好的時間管理，而是重新定義：這是不是我的角色Reset（被理解）到 Reclaim（主權回收）的轉向：「這件事，真的還需要由我來撐嗎？」▷ Season 2 的轉向Season 1 的 Reset，是讓你被理解：你不是壞掉、不是太敏感、不是不夠堅強。Season 2 的 Reclaim，是更成熟的選擇：在你知道自己被理解之後，你還要不要繼續過度承擔？這就是第二季的主軸 —— Leadership Begins in the Body.▷ Somatic Practice這不是放鬆練習，是一個「角色辨識」與「責任回收」的練習。當你想起一個最近讓你很累的情境，問身體：「我是在做我該做的事，還是在補別人的位？」「我是在履行我的主權 authority，還是在過度承擔？」找到身體最緊的地方，對它說： 「謝謝你撐了這麼久。」 「你不需要一個人完成所有事。」 「我願意練習，不再自動補位。」▷ Integration如果你聽完有一點點鬆、也有一點點不安——很正常。因為對高表現者來說，停下來不是技術問題，而是身份問題：如果我不再補位，那我是誰？有些轉化，不是靠理解完成的， 而是靠一次一次「被承接」完成的。▷ Work with LolaApply for The Lola System™ 90 https://lolalinocean.com/apply這是一個邀請制的入口，為「準備好真正改變，但不想再撐」的女性而設。▷ Connect with LolaWebsite｜https://lolalinocean.com Instagram｜https://www.instagram.com/lolalolalin LinkedIn｜https://www.linkedin.com/in/lolalin

▷ 本集引導在開始之前，先跟著我，呼吸一次。不是為了放鬆，而是為了 —— 讓你的身體回到它真正的速度。這一集，是 The Lola System™ Season 2 的第一集。 也是一個全新階段的入口。Season 1，我們做的是 Reset：讓你明白，你不是壞掉、不是太敏感、不是不夠堅強。Season 2，我們要做的是 Reclaim：把你的人生主權、身體主權、節奏主權，一一拿回來。▷ 本集核心很多女性在做 Vision Board 的時候，反而變得更焦慮。如果你也是，我想先很清楚地說：你不是不想要。你也不是不夠積極。你不是不夠正向，也不是吸引力法則失敗。你正在經驗的是一件非常身體的事 ——你的腦袋想要，但你的身體還不敢承載。高端女性的焦慮，往往不是因為目標太大，而是因為 —— 目標一旦實現，會改變太多東西。關係、身份、金錢、權力、節奏，甚至是那個「一直很能撐」的自己。Vision Board 對你來說，不只是願望板，而是一面鏡子。它讓你同時看見：你想要的未來，以及你還不敢走進去的自己。▷ 你會在這一集聽到為什麼 Vision Board 會觸發焦慮，而不是動力為什麼這不是意志力問題，而是安全感與承載力問題為什麼「舊方法失效」不是退步，而是升級前兆高端女性最難放下的，往往不是努力，而是掌控如何把 Vision Board 從「目標」翻譯成「身體承載」▷ Season 2 的關鍵轉向Season 1 的 Reset，是理解。Season 2 的 Reclaim，是選擇。你開始問的，不再只是：「我可不可以做到？」而是 —— 「這樣做，我的身體是否同意？」 「這樣做，我是否在背叛我的節奏？」 「這樣做，是不是我真正想要的人生？」這就是 Reclaim。▷ Somatic Practice這一集，我會帶你做一個簡單但精準的身體練習。不是為了立刻不焦慮，也不是要你正向。而是 —— 把焦慮從腦袋，拉回身體，讓主權回到你自己。你會被邀請去感受： 當你想像某個未來時，身體哪裡先收縮？它正在保護你免於什麼？Season 2 的路不是逼身體跟上野心，而是讓野心開始尊重身體。▷ 本集不是要你「完成」如果你聽完有一點點鬆 ... 很好。但你也可能發現，回到生活之後，那個收縮又回來了。這不是你沒有學會，而是因為——有些轉化，不是靠理解完成的，而是靠被承接完成的。尤其當你要走進新的身份、關係、收入與影響力層級，你的神經系統需要的是一個能反覆確認安全的場域。這也是 The Lola System™ 90 存在的原因。▷ Work with LolaApply for The Lola System™ 90 https://lolalinocean.com/apply這是一個邀請制的入口，為「準備好真正改變，但不想再撐」的女性而設。▷ Connect with LolaWebsite｜https://lolalinocean.com Instagram｜https://www.instagram.com/lolalolalin LinkedIn｜https://www.linkedin.com/in/lolalin

Even when you know "what to do" (theoretically) in a volatile, challenging and/or emotional situation - especially with loved ones - good luck with the "execution" of that knowledge when your prefrontal cortex gets hijacked by your amygdala. That is, when your emotions take over your body and your ability to think clearly and be the calm in the chaos goes out the metaphoric window. Depending on the situation, I could be relatively smart right down to being the dumb-arse in the corner crying into his protein shake. Bobby, Tiff and I opened this conversational door and quite a few others in this episode of TYP. Also, someone whose name rhymes with vague may have gotten a little emotional. I'm not crying, you are. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Telling yourself the truth might be the most radical leadership skill you'll ever develop.   In part three of the Emotional Self-Regulation for Leaders series, Sarah Lockwood is joined by Beck Sydow and Marina Suholutsky for a conversation about the power of radical self-honesty in leadership. They explore how self-awareness for leaders isn't just about introspection but a foundational strategy for building resilient businesses, leading aligned teams, and navigating high-stakes decisions with integrity.   Beck and Marina reveal how easy it is for entrepreneurs to hide from their own truths, especially when fear, ego, or pressure to perform take over. They unpack how avoidance and overcompensation often mask deeper insecurities and explain why facing those hidden parts with compassion is key to true emotional self-regulation.

Curiosity is the leadership skill that helps you regulate your nervous system, interrupt fear loops, and make conscious choices in real time.   This episode is part 2 of the Emotional Self-Regulation for Leaders series, where Sarah Lockwood is joined again by Marina Suholutsky, the founder of PurposeBuilt, and Beck Sydow, the founder of HumanKind Business Leaders, to discuss how curiosity plays an important role in nervous system regulation and managing emotions. They break down how fear contracts our experience and narrows our view, while curiosity invites expansion and presence. When leaders learn to pause and ask questions like “What else is true?” or “What story am I telling myself right now?”, they create access to agency, opening up space to shift out of reactivity and into conscious, grounded response.   Marina and Beck offer tools that don't require time away from work or structured rituals. These moments of emotional awareness can happen mid-meeting, mid-sentence, or mid-meltdown. Whether it's noticing your peripheral vision, softening your tone, or naming what's happening in the room, curiosity becomes a live practice that leaders can use to stay connected to themselves and others. The discussion also explores how modeling this curiosity builds team trust and strengthens leadership presence. For founders who want to lead with more ease and intention, this episode is an invitation and a toolkit.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Curiosity as a Tool for Emotional Mastery 01:24 Using Curiosity to Shift from Fear to Possibility 02:55 How Curiosity Regulates the Nervous System 04:32 Interrupting Autopilot Responses with Better Questions 06:12 Building Agency Through Conscious Choice 09:59 Real-Time Techniques for Managing Emotions 12:34 Somatic Practices for Curiosity and Expansion 15:23 Leading with Curiosity in High-Stakes Moments 16:48 Asking Open-Ended Questions That Invite Collaboration 19:31 Why Curiosity Reflects True Leadership Confidence   Links Connect with Beck Sydow: Connect with Beck on LinkedIn  Humankind Business Leaders   Connect with Marina Suholutsky: Connect with Marina on LinkedIn  PurposeBuilt   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Visit HiveCast   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what's happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You'll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineVitality Radio POW!

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode? This episode is a nervous system regulation reset for women who need a soft place to land.You don't need to fix your life. You just need somewhere soft to land.

We've been taught that pain requires a target. Someone hurt you, so you hurt them back. Someone triggers you, so you defend yourself. The cycle repeats until you're chronically inflamed and physiologically worn down.But what if the problem is that you're treating your nervous system like it has to fight every battle you're invited to?Pain is information. Inflammation is a signal. That tightness in your chest when you get a certain kind of text message is your body reporting that something needs attention. Not retaliation. Attention.The culture trains you to look outward for resolution. Closure from the person who hurt you. Validation from the person who triggered you. Apologies, explanations, admissions of guilt. But none of that actually heals the physiological response you're having in real time. None of it stops the cortisol. None of it regulates your nervous system.Self regulation means recognizing that lashing out when you're in pain just adds another layer of damage. Knowing this, healing yourself first becomes structurally necessary.This episode covers why modern serial dating creates repeated chemical bereavement, how to redirect attack energy into healing energy, and why the “little you” inside deserves protection even when no one else is listening.Full episode: So You're Living in a Simulation podcast.

Fear isn't the enemy of great leadership. Ignoring it is.   How often do you walk into a meeting already bracing for impact? Or catch yourself shrinking back in a moment where you meant to lead with clarity? Sarah Lockwood sits down with Beck Sydow, the founder of HumanKind Business Leaders, and Marina Suholutsky, the founder of PurposeBuilt, for a conversation on emotional self-regulation, fear in business, and the kind of inner work that makes better leadership possible.   They explore how fear lives in the body, how it shows up in the boardroom, and why most founders are still operating from old survival patterns without realizing it. You'll hear why simply pushing through isn't a strategy and how learning to notice your internal state (tight shoulders, shallow breath, reactive thinking) can open the door to more aligned decisions. Beck and Marina walk through tools for getting out of autopilot, including body scans, self-inquiry, and what they call “active choice,” the skill of pausing just long enough to shift out of fear and back into presence.   This doesn't just explain why inner work matters. It shows you how to begin. Whether you're leading a team, building a company, or trying to show up more fully for your own vision, this is the kind of episode that gets under the surface and invites you to lead from a deeper, steadier place.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Emotional Self-Regulation in Leadership 02:19 Why Fear and Suffering Matter for Founders 05:03 How the Amygdala Shapes Fear in Business 06:08 Welcoming Fear as a Tool, Not a Threat 10:08 Tools for Recognizing and Naming Fear 14:06 The Leadership Power of Softening and Owning Fear 18:13 Making Active Choices to Lead with Awareness   Links Connect with Beck Sydow: Connect with Beck on LinkedIn  Humankind Business Leaders   Connect with Marina Suholutsky: Connect with Marina on LinkedIn  PurposeBuilt   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Visit HiveCast   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

We happily welcome Dr. Allie Ticktin to Diverse Thinking Different Learning! Dr. Ticktin is dedicated to helping children and their families thrive through sensory-based play, having founded Play 2 Progress and writing Play to Progress, introducing parents to all eight senses and offering practical ways to support them at home. Blending child development science with playful learning, Dr. Ticktin focuses on building kids' confidence and supporting their growth across emotional, social, physical, and academic areas. At the core of her philosophy is the belief that empowering parents from the very beginning is the best way to set children up for lifelong success! Throughout our conversation, we explore the topic of sensory processing and sensory motor integration - often misunderstood but nevertheless foundational to how children learn, regulate, and thrive. Dr. Ticktin, an occupational therapist and author, explains that sensory processing involves more than just the five basic senses, that there are actually eight senses that children need to effectively process, including the "hidden" senses of vestibular, proprioceptive, and interoceptive! Dr. Ticktin highlights the fact that sensory issues are not simply behavioral problems but are rather neurological differences in how a child's brain processes sensory information. This can manifest in various ways, from being overly sensitive to certain textures to having trouble regulating emotions and attention. She stresses the importance of reframing these challenges as differences in sensory processing, rather than just automatically resorting to labeling them as "bad behavior." As we discuss, an especially important part of supporting children with sensory needs is teaching them to recognize and communicate their needs, and Allie discusses "body tools" - often referred to as fidget spinners or sensory toys - and how empowering children to identify and use whatever tools help them self-regulate can dramatically improve their ability to focus, learn, and interact socially. Our discussion also covers how sensory integration therapy can positively affect not just motor skills but also social-emotional functioning, with Dr. Ticktin reflecting on how she has seen children learn to self-regulate and even start advocating for their sensory needs and those of their peers. Our discussion provides you with a comprehensive overview of sensory processing, its importance in child development, and effective strategies for supporting children with sensory needs via a collaborative approach based on children's strengths!   Show Notes: [2:29] - Sensory processing involves eight senses, not just tactile experiences such as messy play. [5:10] - Dr. Ticktin argues that a child's sensory system forms the unseen "roots" supporting all higher developmental skills. [7:05] - Some kids struggle to filter irrelevant sensory input, resulting in classrooms feeling overwhelming. [9:08] - Dr. Ticktin points out that many "bad behaviors" actually stem from unsatisfied sensory needs. [11:28] - Dr. Ticktin explains how "body tools" can help children self-regulate, reducing behavioral issues via sensory support. [13:30] - Sensory inputs can raise or lower excitement depending on how the child processes them. [17:38] - Misread behaviors in daily tasks might signal underlying sensory-motor challenges. [18:22] - Hear how sensory issues can appear as rough play, clumsiness, withdrawal, or shutdowns. [21:09] - Dr. Ticktin argues that self-regulation often crosses over with sensory needs. [24:49] - Young kids may tantrum from sensory overwhelm because they lack the language to explain their feelings. [25:12] - Dr. Ticktin explains how teaching kids to "empty their bucket" prevents overload, very similar to adults managing stress. [28:33] - Learn how play-based therapy strengthens sensory foundations with purposeful activities appearing as simple play. [31:54] - Excessive screen time limits ideation, rendering open-ended, unscheduled play especially important for development. [33:25] - Consistent family involvement is so important, since progress relies on using tools beyond therapy sessions. [36:14] - Dr. Ticktin encourages listeners to buy her book.

In Part 2, Ted Kroeten goes deeper into the mechanics of free play, why traditional training misreads how kids actually learn, and how small-sided chaos builds problem-solvers, communicators, and creators. From one-v-one misconceptions to futsal culture, mixed-age environments, and why American kids rarely get “underload” time, Ted explains what the U.S. must rethink to compete globally.He also breaks down what parents can actually do to bring joy and development back into their child's soccer life — even without a Joy of the People program nearby.This conversation is a blueprint for the next 10–15 years of American soccer… if we're willing to go “down the mountain” before climbing higher.Key Talking Points• Why 1v1 isn't the holy grail — and why 2v2 teaches the real language of soccer• What small-sided games unlock: communication, deception, decision-making• The concept of overload vs underload and how it shapes development• Why futsal, SALs, barefoot play, and alternate balls accelerate creativity• The danger of top-down coaching and why talk-heavy models block learning• How kids self-regulate, self-officiate, and learn conflict resolution in real play• Why U.S. kids lack free play opportunities — especially girls• The global shift toward small-sided formats and why the U.S. is behind• How parents can build play cultures at home, in neighborhoods, and in friend groups• Ted's vision for the U.S. over the next 10–15 years — and why a “Play Revolution” is comingQuotes from Ted Kroeten• “Kids don't want to learn soccer — they want to be with their friends. The learning is a byproduct.”• “One-v-one doesn't really exist. Two-v-two teaches the real communication of the game.”• “If a kid knows how they learned it, it can be hacked. If they learned it unconsciously, it can't.”• “Small-sided, uncoached play is where the language of the game is spoken.”• “Friends must come before skills. Trust must come before competition.”• “We don't need more performance — we need more joy.”Episode Chapters00:00 — Why 1v1 Is Misunderstood in Player Development03:45 — 2v2 and 3v3: Where the Language of Soccer Lives07:30 — Small-Sided Chaos and Real Decision-Making11:15 — Overload vs Underload: Reading Kids, Not Results15:30 — Why Futsal Changes How Players Think19:30 — Mixed-Age Play and Learning From Older Kids23:30 — When Performance Kills Joy and Creativity27:45 — Kids Who Love Winning vs Kids Who Love Playing31:45 — Parents, Pressure, and the Loss of Free Play36:00 — Why U.S. Soccer Develops Too Early, Too Fast40:30 — Self-Regulation, Conflict, and Social Learning in Play44:30 — Building Play Environments Without a Club48:45 — What Coaches Talk Too Much About52:45 — Peak Height Velocity and Developmental Timing57:00 — Why Free-Play Kids Struggle Early but Thrive Later1:01:15 — Failing First to Build Better Players1:05:30 — The Next 10–15 Years of American Soccer1:09:30 — A Call to Trust Kids and Protect PlayConnect with Ted / Joy of the People

Nine Simple Practices That Strengthen Relationships Summary In Episode #99 of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis celebrate their 99th episode by sharing nine powerful practices couples can use to strengthen connection, deepen trust, and build meaningful intimacy. Each principle is grounded in years of clinical experience, neuroscience, and relationship research—while remaining practical and accessible for real-life relationships. Together they explore why emotional safety is the foundation of all connection, the importance of ownership over blame, and how consistent attunement builds emotional closeness. They emphasize spending intentional time together, rebuilding trust through small daily actions, learning to emotionally regulate before communicating, and facing—not avoiding—conflict. They also highlight how positive relational interactions nurture bonding and why dreaming and planning for the future together creates shared hope and purpose. Listeners are encouraged to start small, picking one area to work on, knowing that meaningful relationships are built one intentional step at a time.

This week I sit down with Dr. Stephen Porges, a Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, and Professor Emeritus at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland. He served as president of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse. In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders. ​ He is the author of multiple books on his Polyvagal Theory: including the Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-regulation, as well as Polyvagal Safety: Attachment, Communication, Self-Regulation. His newest book cowritten with his son is called Our Polyvagal World, How Safety and Trauma Change Us. Dr. Porges is the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol ™ (SSP), which is used by therapists to improve social engagement, language processing, and state regulation, as well as to reduce hearing sensitivities. This is such a fascinating conversation. He brings the worlds of psychiatry and anthropological physiology into union for us to understand the why of trauma reactions and the future unwinding that is now possible. This is a must listen to conversation if you know anyone with trauma history. Please enjoy my conversation with Professor Porges, Dr. M

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

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the great myths of modern self-help: that transformation is something you're meant to "do alone." Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physiology, and personal experience, he reveals the biological truth — the human nervous system is designed to heal, grow, and stabilize in relationship, not isolation. This conversation explores why loneliness creates physiological damage, why belonging is a survival requirement (not a luxury), and how to intentionally rebuild the village your cells have been waiting for.

Want to help your child build real emotional resilience—without power struggles or shame? In this heart-centered and science-backed episode, Wendy sits down with educator, content creator, and former Sesame Street director Anna Housley Juster, Ph.D., LICSW to explore how play, brain science, and emotional literacy help kids build true self-regulation. Anna explains how the amygdala works, why threat responses show up so fast, and how connection, storytelling, and simple co-regulation tools can help both kids (and parents) feel safe and calm during big emotional moments.

How Journaling Activates Your Brain for Resilience and Self-Regulation 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 108 ~ I've always expressed to clients, the importance and therapeutic benefit of writing as a practice for  being able to process and understand an experience and to find answers and comfort in what is called expressive writing.   When you write about your feelings, research from brain scans show us that the prefrontal cortex (the region of the brain responsible for reasoning) begins to synchronize with the amygdala (which is the region of the brain that processes emotions.) Journal writing is this tool that allows the brain to be able to both communicate and understand. Here I share the five forms of journaling together with what happens in the brain (and for you) as you experience their positive affects. Please reach out to me  if you would like my help in using journaling as a tool for healing, for resilience and self-regulation. Namaste

Y'all, this one lit me up. Talking with Chris felt like having someone finally hand me the manual for relationships that we all swear should exist, but no one ever gives us. He has this wildly grounded way of explaining attachment, self regulation, and emotional safety that makes you stop and go - Oh wait, that's me. And that's my ex. And that's the pattern I swear I'm not repeating anymore.This episode is honest, eye opening, and surprisingly comforting. If you've ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type, or why certain dynamics feel so familiar, Chris breaks it all down in a way that just hits. I left this conversation feeling clearer, lighter, and honestly a little called out in the best possible way.Highlights:(03:12) The four attachment styles(12:45) Why 60 percent of healthy relationships come from self regulation(22:18) The first big non negotiable emotional safety and why it matters(33:02) Why anxious and avoidant types keep finding each other(45:10) A simple way to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety(55:41) How secure people rebound fasterFind out more about Chris: Instagram: @evolvedbychrisQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

In this episode, Chris and Kevin dig into one simple, but powerful habit for lowering stress and thinking more clearly: speaking your thoughts out loud or writing them down.While breaking down why talking out loud or writing your thoughts is one of the simplest ways to regulate stress. They explore:-How naming emotions activates the prefrontal cortex and quiets the stress response-Why unspoken problems drain mental energy and keep your brain in “swirl mode”-How externalizing thoughts creates clarity and frees up cognitive load-A comparison to the double-slit experiment: unspoken problems = probability cloud; speaking/writing = collapsing it into focus-How this process returns you to awareness, reminding you that you're not your problem, you're the observer of your problemAs always, they end the episode with a practical tool you can use right away to start applying this into your life.

Play isn't just fun—it's essential. In this episode, Ginger and Julie unpack the science, healing power, and everyday possibilities of play. From brain development to emotional regulation, play shapes resilience, fosters connection, and repairs the impact of trauma. You'll hear how movement amplifies the benefits, how barriers like technology and busy schedules can be addressed, and why play matters just as much for adults as it does for kids.Along the way, we highlight the insights of Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, Dr. Dan Hughes, Dr. Dave Ziegler, and Dr. Stuart Brown, plus practical strategies for both parents and educators to make play a daily part of life—even in middle and high school classrooms.Whether you're parenting, teaching, or healing alongside children, this episode will inspire you to see play not as a reward or an afterthought, but as a biological imperative and a vital tool for growth, recovery, and joy.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why play is a “biological imperative” and a cornerstone of healthy brain development.How play supports emotional regulation, resilience, and relationship-building—especially for children impacted by trauma.The connection between movement, nervous system regulation, and healing.Common barriers to play (like technology, safety concerns, and adult exhaustion) and how to overcome them.How a playful stance from adults—rooted in curiosity and delight—reduces defensiveness and fosters openness.Practical ways parents can integrate more play into daily life.Classroom-friendly ideas for incorporating play at all grade levels, including middle and high school.Why adults also need play for creativity, flexibility, and emotional health.“When we prioritize play, we're not just making memories—we're shaping brains.” — Dr. Tina Payne BrysonResources & References:Bryson, T.

Alé Duarte, somatic therapist and creator of KidSoma joins me this week to explore how tuning into your child's natural rhythms can completely transform the way you understand their emotions and reactions.   Together we unpack:   - Why play isn't a break from learning, it is the learning. - What it means to help your child "complete a cycle" so their nervous system can settle and grow. - How "unfinished cycles" can leave kids dysregulated, impulsive, or anxious—and what parents can do to help their child complete these cycles in daily life. - Realistic ways to implement these strategies even when you're juggling busy schedules, time pressures, and the realities of everyday parenting. - Why slowing down and following your child's lead can actually make mornings smoother, transitions easier, and connection deeper.   If you've ever wished you could understand what's happening underneath your child's big emotions and find a calmer rhythm for your entire family system, this conversation will change the way you see play, presence, and parenting.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

In a digital world saturated with questionable dating advice from self-proclaimed gurus, Dr. Max Butterfield has emerged as a powerful and refreshing voice of reason. A professor with a Ph.D. in psychology, Max never intended to become a social media star. Tasked by a literary agent to simply build a small online presence for a book deal, he accidentally tapped into a massive cultural nerve, dissecting viral relationship videos with research-backed clarity and amassing over a million followers in just a few months. His journey is a testament to the power of authentic expertise, proving that in a sea of misinformation, people are desperately searching for grounded, scientific truth to navigate the complexities of human connection. This conversation is a masterclass in the psychology of modern relationships, going far beyond surface-level tips to explore the deep undercurrents shaping how we connect today. Dr. Butterfield breaks down why the "paradox of choice" fueled by dating apps makes us treat people as disposable and how these platforms are financially incentivized to keep you single . He and Darin dive into the critical difference between initial physical attraction and the values that predict long-term happiness, the truth about "soulmates," and the foundational skills—like managing conflict, building safety through mutual disclosure, and simple kindness—that are essential for growing a healthy, lasting partnership.
