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.

What if the hardest behaviors in your home are signals from a brain that needs a different kind of help? We sit down with Dr. Licata of Vital Brain Health to demystify neurofeedback.We break down the three big reasons brains get out of balance—injury, genetics , and environment —and show how a map turns that mystery into direction. You'll hear how neurofeedback uses precise rewards to teach the brain better rhythms while the client watches a show or plays a simple game, why 40 sessions is the minimum effective dose for lasting change, and how training daytime sensory motor rhythms supports deeper, more stable sleep at night.If you've been told to “wait and see,” or you're tired of feeling blamed for behavior you can't explain, this conversation offers a map, a method, and hope.Loved this conversation?

Autistic + ADHD partners often collide around regulation. Here's how to stop the clashes and build connection with real-world scripts, rituals, and repeatable practices. If you need clear, practical tools to make a neurodiverse relationship feel calmer and more connected, this episode delivers! Jodi and licensed counselor Greg Fuqua (late-identified autistic) break down exactly how autistic self-regulators and ADHD co-regulators can stop clashing and start syncing up—so both partners feel seen, safe, and respected. Greg shares the exact rituals he and his wife use after 30+ years together—like a 20–30 minute transition buffer before reconnecting after time apart, a simple “commute-call” habit that creates connection without pressure, and a prepare → attune → debrief framework for handling events like parties or family gatherings. You'll hear why effort often feels invisible, why “fair” doesn't always mean equal, and how shifting from content fights to process check-ins changes everything. We also dig into scripts for setting capacity limits, what shutdowns and alexithymia look like, and a quick connect → ground rhythm you can try today. If you missed Part 1, circle back for the mindset shifts that make these tools stick.

Hey humans, we're continuing our #WorkWell series, all about mental health in the workplace. In this episode, we're getting real about the difference between just being tired and being truly, deeply depleted. I know that feeling because I was just there myself. After we recorded our last episode on burnout, I felt almost out of my body, completely depleted and neurologically dysregulated. The only thing that could help was true rest and disconnection. So for this week, I have an exercise for you. It's an ask to take just five minutes every day to journal and really tune in to how you're feeling. Ask yourself: Do you feel recharged after a break? What do you actually enjoy right now? How often are you feeling irritable or numb? The goal isn't to fix it immediately, but just to recognize where you are. It's about figuring out if you're just tired, or if you've crossed over into depletion. Take this week to just check in with yourself. I hope you'll join me on this journey to work well. With light and love, we'll see you soon. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

Jennifer, a full-time international consultant and author of impactful books like Having Hard Conversations and Stretching Your Learning Edge: Growing (up) at Work, joined us to explore the critical topic of self-regulation in dysregulated times. We talked about living in a VUKA world, Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous, and how we need to build complexity fitness by developing our cognitive, emotional, and psychological skills. Jennifer shared that becoming more self-regulated involves building self-awareness, like cleaning up our emotional "dust". It turns out only about 10-15% of people are truly self-aware, and one way to improve is by bravely asking for 360 feedback from your team. We also dove into practical skills for leaders navigating challenging moments, such as learning to suspend certainty that your way is the only way. Saying "Tell me more" instead of reacting can be incredibly powerful. For extroverts like me, focusing on listening instead of jumping in is key. I shared my favorite tactic when someone is stressed: asking, "How long do we have to make this decision?". This simple question helps shift from feeling "subject" to circumstances to viewing them more "objectively". Jennifer left us with powerful parting advice: "Go have humane, growth-producing conversations. That's the goal.".

Some conversations are uncomfortable, but avoiding them comes with a cost.You want a more successful career, a more fulfilling relationship, a more meaningful life? What if all that's standing in your way — are the conversations that you're avoiding?“Most things that we want in life are on the other side of a difficult conversation,” says Jenn Wynn, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business and previously the director of education at the Obama Foundation. For nearly 10 years, she has taught a course on difficult conversations that equips people to communicate through discomfort in pursuit of what they want. “Sometimes it's a difficult conversation with a loved one, a colleague, a boss… sometimes it's a difficult conversation with myself,” she says. “Are you going to give up on your biggest dreams because you weren't willing to step out of your comfort zone?”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wynn and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build the “hard but worth-it skills” necessary for difficult communication. Whether it's asking for a raise, setting boundaries, or addressing conflict, Wynn's insights show that the conversations you're avoiding aren't just holding you back — they're keeping you from the life you really want.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Jenn WynnThe H.I.

Feeling overwhelmed by complex breathing techniques and counting methods? In this episode, I share why your body already knows how to breathe—and why trusting that natural process might be more effective than any prescribed breathing "hack."
In this episode, Ali speaks with chiropractor and TRE expert Siv Jøssang Shields about the power of neurogenic tremoring as a natural way to release stress and trauma and allow the body to lead in healing. They explore the science behind TRE, speak why our culture suppresses these healing responses, and how reconnecting with the body's innate intelligence can support deep regulation and integration.

It operates below conscious control and has two main branches - sympathetic (activating) and parasympathetic (calming) - which help the body respond to stress and return to balance.HeartMath is a research-based system that uses biofeedback and emotional regulation techniques to help individuals build resilience, manage stress, and access coherent heart-brain states.

It's not always gentle, but it's powerful.Kriyas are spontaneous or intentional movements that help the body release stored energy, emotions, or trauma. Rooted in yogic traditions, kriyas are purification actions—think trembling, twitching, stretching, even crying—that support healing, clarity, and awakening.

There's a moment in this conversation with 4x Olympic Champion Michael Johnson that stopped me in my tracks. He said, “Success doesn't care what you believe you deserve.”That line sums up what this episode is really about, the difference between wishing for results and doing the work required to earn them.Michael didn't become one of the most dominant athletes in history by chasing comfort. He became great by facing the hard truth. By asking himself the questions most of us avoid. And then doing something about it.In this episode, I unpack the habits Michael used throughout his life, from championship seasons to career-ending injuries to the day he was told he might never walk properly again. It's about discipline, honesty, and doing what it takes, not what feels easy.We explore:Why the best avoid shortcutsThe mindset Michael used to break recordsHow to handle setbacks without denialThe power of asking better questionsWhy doing the uncomfortable thing often leads to growthThis episode is a reminder that high performance doesn't come from believing you're ready. It comes from acting like it, even when no one's watching.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Self-Regulation and Performance in Elite Athletes (Joanne Hudson & Dave Day 2016, Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology)What Self-Awareness Really Is (and How to Cultivate It), (Dr. Tasha Eurich, Harvard Business Review)Emotion Regulation Choice (Gal Sheppes et al. 2012)Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (Carol Dweck)Self-Control and Grit (Angela Duckworth et al.

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. When leaders name what's really going on without judgment, they create space for better decisions, stronger relationships, and more authentic leadership. This episode offers a powerful reframe: self-honesty isn't weakness, but actually one of the most courageous and transformative skills you can build.

Most people believe that parenting is all about managing your child's behaviour. But the truth is BOTH your child's outbursts AND your own reactions are driven by your nervous systems. And no-one knows this stuff!In this powerful and validating conversation, I sit down with Justin Sunseri (LMFT and host of the Stuck Not Broken podcast) to explore how the Polyvagal Theory completely shifts the way you understand both your children's behaviour AND your own emotional patterns.We unpack:Why your child isn't “bad”, they're dysregulatedWhy you keep snapping, yelling, or shutting down, even when you don't want toThe difference between compliance and true regulationHow to co-regulate with your child when you're feeling triggered tooWhy emotionally intelligent parenting starts with nervous system awareness, not just strategyHow to begin creating a home that feels truly safe, for everyoneIf you've ever felt stuck in reactive loops, overwhelmed by your child's big emotions, or ashamed of your own responses, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and truly practical tools.If you're like me and like to WATCH as well as listen - you can see this episode over on YouTube.FIND JUSTIN'S WORK AND PODCAST HERE: www.justinlmft.com

Welcome back to another episode of Know Your Physio—the podcast where we dive deep into the science of human potential and self-mastery. Today, I'm beyond excited to introduce a guest who truly embodies resilience and what it means to live with purpose: Dr. Chris Lee.Dr. Chris Lee is not only a neuroscientist but also an entrepreneur and, most importantly, a compassionate human being whose journey has been shaped by immense personal challenges. He's navigated the profound loss of his father, taken on the responsibility of being a single parent, and powered through the demanding grind of earning his doctorate. Through it all, Chris has developed an unparalleled understanding of the human nervous system and the true art of self-regulation.In this episode, we dive into Chris's personal “why”—a journey that started with heartache but has evolved into a beautiful, transformative philosophy. Chris shares his foundational mantra: “If the flower doesn't bloom, you don't blame the flower.” This mindset shift helped him reframe pain, purpose, and the environments that either limit or liberate us. It's a powerful way to look at adversity—not as something to avoid, but as the very fuel for growth.We talk about the stark difference between being driven by suffering versus being inspired by purpose. High performers, as Chris explains, often unknowingly uncover what truly regulates them and what doesn't. We also explore the science of emotional intelligence, the importance of co-regulation in relationships, and how to thrive in an overstimulated world through "low-stimulation" habits.This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insights that will challenge your understanding of success. It's an invitation to embrace discomfort, redefine what “winning” really means, and discover the “unf*ckable” version of yourself that emerges when you do the inner work. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one.
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: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/becksydow/ HumanKind Business Leaders: https://www.humankindbusinessleaders.com/ Connect with Marina Suholutsky: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-suho/ PurposeBuilt: www.purposebuilt.io Connect with Sarah Lockwood: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lockwoodsarah/ Website: https://hivecast.fm Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/conscious-entrepreneur/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conscious_entrepreneur_summit/ Website: http://www.consciousentrepreneur.us HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Koepp discusses his research on children's self-regulation and behavioral changes throughout the day and week. He explains how children's self-control, particularly in terms of restlessness and inhibition, tends to wear out across the school day and week. Andrew suggests that understanding these natural ebbs and flows can help parents and teachers plan activities, emphasizing the importance of restorative experiences like sleep, physical activity (recess), and unstructured playtime. He also offers three key pieces of advice: meet kids where they are by understanding their varying self-control, anticipate difficult moments and plan accordingly, and use anticipatory guidance to clearly communicate behavioral expectations to children.
