We are living through a Joy Crisis. Leaders, physicians, high achievers, and everyday humans are waking up successful on paper, yet spiritually, emotionally, and energetically empty. In this episode, Dr. V sits down with executive coach Dianna Moore to uncover why joy has quietly faded from modern life and how to bring it back with intention. Dianna spent 25 years in aerospace, moved into executive leadership, later became COO of a venture-backed startup, and now coaches high-stakes leaders in medicine, technology, and cybersecurity. Her journey did not begin with joy. It began with survival. At 18, she was a young mother in college with a baby on her hip. Achievement became her fuel. Later, she realized achievement and joy were not the same thing. This conversation blends science, wisdom, personal experience, and real leadership insight. It offers a grounded path to reclaiming joy in a world that rewards burnout.   What We Cover: What Joy Really Is - Not happiness, not distraction, not numbing. Joy is a deeper internal state tied to meaning, purpose, nervous system balance, and long-term health. The Joy Deficit in Modern Leadership - Medical leaders, cybersecurity executives, and corporate teams often operate in chronic stress without emotional recovery. Joy has disappeared from everyday language and the results show up in burnout, isolation, and strained relationships. Success Versus Joy - Dianna explains how achievement became her identity. Promotions and accomplishments created momentum, yet not fulfillment. Joy had to be cultivated separately. What Joy Looks Like Somatically - Dr. V breaks down how joy affects inflammation, hormones, mitochondrial function, and healing potential. This is where mindset, biology, and longevity truly connect. Simple Practices to Rebuild Joy - Helping others, movement, strength training, reconnecting with your childhood imagination, and returning to purpose. These accessible practices help you reignite joy even in difficult seasons. The Top Joy Killer: Comparison - One of Dianna's most powerful insights at 25:04. Comparison drains energy, confidence, and presence. It is one of the fastest ways to shut down joy.   What You Will Learn Why joy is a performance strategy and not a luxury How to identify signs of a hidden joy deficit Ways high performers accidentally numb instead of nourish How to tell the difference between comfort, happiness, and true joy Why meaningful relationships matter more than professional success Daily practices that create noticeable joy in under five minutes How reconnecting with your childhood self restores creativity and vitality   About Dianna Moore Executive Coach and Founder of Moore Joy Group specializing in leaders in medicine, cybersecurity, technology, and the C-suite moorejoygroup.com   Connect with Dr. V Learn the Thrive State Method at kienvuu.com Follow @doctorvmd on all platforms Get the number one bestselling book Thrive State at thrivestatebook.com Download your free Longevity Starter Kit at thrivestatestarter.com

If stress or discomfort sends you into overthinking, numbing, or trying to fix what you can't control… If certain habits feel automatic no matter how much you try to change them… You're not alone, and your brain is more trainable than you think. In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook sits down with Dr. Jud Brewer—psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and New York Times best-selling author who specializes in habit change and mindfulness.  They unpack why we get stuck in these loops and a simple practice to steady your soul. Instead of relying on willpower or self-judgment, this conversation invites you to: Notice your inner patterns with kindness Differentiate discomfort from distress Understand the habit loops that drive anxiety, worry, or overthinking Apply the #1 tool to help you create real, lasting change Deepen your connection to God This episode is a grounding companion for anyone navigating stress, emotional triggers, or the pull toward old coping strategies—especially in seasons that stir up more than we expect.

Gratitude isn't fluff—it's a neural training tool. In this episode, we break down how a simple daily gratitude practice drives neuroplasticity (neural elasticity) to calm your nervous system and sharpen your mind. You'll learn how gratitude strengthens the prefrontal cortex, softens the amygdala's alarm, improves memory recall via the hippocampus, and reduces rumination in the Default Mode Network—with real-world benefits like lower cortisol, better HRV, deeper sleep, and steadier mood. We walk you through a 10-minute protocol you can start tonight (breath, specific recall, short journaling, optional message to someone you appreciate), plus easy anchors to make it stick. Expect practical demos, measurable ways to track progress over 14 days, and simple cues to deploy "appreciation on demand" when stress hits.

How do you scale your impact as a therapist without sacrificing motherhood, alignment, or joy? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Carly Costello — known as EMDR with Carly — to go behind the scenes of how she built multiple revenue streams while staying committed to her values as a mother. We dig into her journey of growing a thriving insurance-based group practice in West Virginia, expanding into EMDR consultation online, and building a niche Instagram audience that deeply trusts her expertise. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped her go from full time solo therapist to a CEO with five therapists on her team and a global reach through her consulting offers. We also explore how she strategically uses Instagram — not for viral fame, but for genuine connection — and how networking, simple visibility, and slow growth led her to sell out her first EMDR consultation cohorts for both therapists seeking certification and consultants-in-training. Carly gets real about expanding her vision while expanding her family (yes, she bought her office building while having a newborn!), navigating mom guilt, and trusting that building the business now will create more freedom for her daughter later.  Topics Covered in this Episode: 2:09 - How Carly built multiple revenue streams including a thriving group practice + EMDR consultation online 4:36 - The mindset and accountability shifts that made major growth possible 7:22 - Growing pains & boundaries when suddenly doubling your staff 18:47 - Scaling while having a newborn + buying her office building (yes, at the same time) 20:42 - The support + structure that keeps big goals moving even when life gets full If you've been dreaming of diversifying your practice or reaching beyond your state lines, this episode will show you what's possible and what it really looks like behind the scenes.

Have you ever wondered what it actually takes to scale your solo private practice into a thriving seven-figure group practice? In this episode, I sit down with Nicole McCance, who shares her personal story of hitting income ceilings, navigating burnout, and realizing she needed to build something bigger than herself. We dive into the exact five-step scaling method that helped her grow quickly while balancing life as a mom of twins and eventually selling her practice. Together, we cover everything from systemizing before you hire, to building the right team, to marketing strategies that actually work while you sleep. Nicole shares the surprising missteps many therapists make when expanding, why your first hire should be a “mini-me,” and the essential client conversion and retention strategies that separate struggling practices from sustainable ones. If you're ready to move beyond burnout and start building a practice that runs without you, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss. Topics Covered in this Episode: 4:49 - The surprising first step before hiring anyone 7:53 - Why your first hire should be a “mini-me” and how to avoid Nicole's biggest early mistake 10:11 - The marketing strategy that works while you sleep 13:14 - A counterintuitive secret about consult calls that increases conversions 14:44 - The timing discovery that changes how clients actually book sessions 15:47 - How pre-booking boosts retention and reduces no-shows 17:01 - The overlooked follow-up strategy that can instantly increase revenue 18:59 - The necessary timeline to see results from ads   If you're ready to take the next step in scaling your practice, don't just stop at inspiration—put these strategies into action.

Hello to you listening in Fremont, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.In college I was taught by lay faculty and Benedictine monks.  Today I follow Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun, theologian, author, and speaker who is known for being an outspoken advocate of justice, peace and equality focusing on the empowerment of women.In her book, The Monastic Heart - 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life, Chittister writes, “A spirituality of work is that process by which you finally come to know that your work is God's work, unfinished by God because God meant it to be finished by you.” I say my work is "helping women shape and share their story by discovering: Who am I? What's my why or work? How do I do my work differently?"But the notion of “spirituality of work” puts a different spin on things. Is this truly my work? If so, how is it meant to be finished by me?Story Prompt: What's your work and how will you finish it? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Why do our intentions so rarely transform into consistent actions? What prevents our aspirations from becoming achievements?  The answer lies not in willpower or knowledge, but in a crucial missing link that's often overlooked in our pursuit of consistent behavior change.  In this enlightening exploration of human motivation, we uncover the fundamental truth about why behavior doesn't stick until we see the connection between what we need to do and what we deeply care about.   While Simon Sinek popularized "starting with why," we rarely apply this principle to the small, daily actions that ultimately build the next level of ourselves.  Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and years of coaching experience, we examine why educational systems and workplace training programs frequently fail to engage learners. The brain simply doesn't prioritize information or actions without understanding their relevance to our personal values and aspirations. This explains why we can memorize facts for tests but quickly forget them, or why we initially commit to fitness goals but struggle to maintain them.  Through practical examples, we demonstrate how connecting habits like quality sleep, nutrition, and movement to deeper values, such as being present for your children, advancing your career, or maintaining independence as you age, transforms these actions from obligations into priorities. This isn't a one-time exercise but requires ongoing reinforcement, like taking a shower or brushing your teeth.  Whether you're struggling with personal habits, leading organizational change, or simply curious about human behavior, this episode offers a powerful framework for making change stick.  By repeatedly drawing bright lines between your actions and your deepest values, you'll find yourself naturally motivated to do what matters most - no discipline struggles required.  Ready to bridge the gap between your intentions and actions? Listen now and discover how practiving your "why" can transform everything.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

In this practice episode, Jennifer England invites you into the courageous act of consenting to be undone.Drawing on her recent conversation with cultural worker and author Stephen Jenkinson (Matrimony: Ritual, Culture and the Heart's Work), Jennifer reflects on how, in a world filled with urgency, grief, and collapsing certainties, true participation requires both patrimony (our inheritance of grief, beauty, and obligation) and matrimony (a ritualized consent with the unseen).From this larger vision, Jennifer distills a simple yet powerful practice:Notice when things don't go as planned — a delay, an interruption, a conflict.Pause and soften your body's resistance.Ask: What might open if I allow this moment to undo me, just a little?This practice offers a counterweight to urgency and the need to fix. It nurtures intimacy with the unknown, and a deeper participation in what is always remaking itself.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with John Addison about his book, Turn Your Fear Into Fuel. In 2015, John Addison retired as co-CEO of Primerica, one of the world's largest financial services companies. Today, he shares his servant-leader ethos as a sought-after keynote speaker and leadership consultant. Through his consulting business, Addison Leadership Group, John utilizes over four decades of stories from his own life to encourage people to embrace leadership as a service to others rather than simply a title. He sits on numerous boards of directors, and in 2025, he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from Direct Selling News, the direct selling industry's premier source for news and education. John is the best-selling author of Real Leadership: 9 Simple Practices for Leading and Living With Purpose, Addisonisms: Quotes to Live By, and Turn Your Fear Into Fuel.

The key to manifesting may not be what you think it is, and we have one of the OGs in the spiritual space, Gabby Bernstein, to talk about it. She just released her tenth book, Self Help, and shares her simple four-step practice that can help you turn inward, heal, and manifest the life you want for yourself. We talk about limiting beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves (“I'm not good enough”, “If I don't do it, no one else will”, “I'm the only single one”), how the wellness space has changed in the last 20 years, the issue she sees the most in couples, and who she wants to set Rayna up with. Before Gabby joins us, we catch up on recent travels, Ashley starting her tour, and a situation Rayna had with a guy (including our fave text of the year so far). Enjoy!  Follow Gabby on Instagram @gabbybernstein, listen to her podcast Dear Gabby, get her latest book Self Help, and check out her website for more.
