As kids, we all loved Batman, Superman, and Spiderman. Seeing heroes don their cape and stop the bad guys was fun and exciting. Now, we're all grown up and we've become the heroes we adored. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about what it means to protect our families. Don't worry about the cape thing. You don't need it to guard your family. It's more than just preventing physical harm.

What does it really mean to be crisis-ready? In this conversation from InfoSecurity Europe 2025, Steve Wright—a data privacy and cybersecurity leader with three decades of experience spanning Siemens, Unilever, John Lewis, and the Bank of England—joins Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli to unpack the heart of effective crisis management. With a career that's evolved from risk, through cybersecurity, and now into privacy, Wright offers a refreshingly grounded perspective: crisis management starts with staying calm—but only if you've done the work beforehand.Preparation Over PanicCrisis management isn't just a technical checklist—it's a cultural discipline. Wright emphasizes that calm only comes from consistent practice. From live simulations to cross-functional coordination, he warns that too many organizations are underprepared, relying on ad hoc responses when a breach or outage occurs. Drawing on a real-life ransomware scenario from his time at John Lewis, Wright illustrates the importance of verification, collaboration with law enforcement, and informed decision-making over knee-jerk reactions.Containment, Communication, and CulturePreparation leads naturally to containment—an organization's ability to limit the damage. Whether it's pulling cables or isolating systems, quick thinking can prevent weeks of downtime. But just as important is how you communicate. Wright points to the contrast between companies that respond with transparency and empathy versus those that go silent, risking public trust. Modern crisis management requires the ability to shift the narrative and speak directly to affected stakeholders—before speculation takes over.Trust and Accountability in a Global EcosystemDigital trust has become a board-level concern, not just a technical one. Wright notes that conversations with executives have moved beyond compliance to include broader questions of data ownership, consumer expectations, and supply chain accountability. As global systems grow more complex, clarity about who owns what—and who's responsible when things go wrong—becomes harder to establish, but more important than ever.Looking AheadWright ends with a look to the future, imagining a world where individuals control their data through biometric locks and personal data brokers. Whether this utopia (or dystopia) arrives remains to be seen—but the path forward demands organizations prioritize practice, transparency, and trust today.___________Guest: Steve Wright, Data Protection Officer, Financial Services Compensation Scheme | https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevewright1970/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Infosecurity Europe 2025 London coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosec25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Ever feel like you're losing it over the smallest things—spilled milk, messy rooms, offhanded comments—and then wondering, "What is wrong with me?" Nothing is wrong with you. You're just full. Full of unprocessed emotions. Full of pressure to hold it all together. Full of laundry baskets—literal and emotional. In this episode, we're breaking down the truth about what happens when we as moms keep shoving emotions down and trying to power through. Spoiler: it doesn't work. And it's not your fault. We were taught to cope… not feel. Listen in and learn: ✔️ Why anger isn't bad—it's intelligent ✔️ How emotional build-up leads to burnout, illness, and blow-ups ✔️ A grounding, 90-second practice you can use anywhere to release emotions in real time ✔️ How regulating YOUR emotions teaches your kids to regulate theirs ✔️ What happens in your brain when you avoid feeling—and how to stop the spiral If you're ready to stop burying it and start creating real emotional freedom, this episode is for you. Let's rewrite what “holding it together” actually looks like.
Anger is not who you are. It is a passing emotion, not a personal failure. This carousel explores what really happens when we are triggered and how slowing down changes everything. You do not need to control your anger. You just need to pause long enough to hear what it is really telling you. Get full access to From Surviving to Thriving at claredownham.substack.com/subscribe

Thanks to a variety of economic and geopolitical circumstances, many people are experiencing some form of financial anxiety right now. Whether it's market volatility, inflation headlines, or fears about Social Security and global instability, the emotional impact of uncertainty is very real. In this episode, Eric addresses what's behind that anxiety and how a solid retirement plan can keep you grounded, even when the news cycle suggests otherwise. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
Key Takeaways: Gold = The OG Money For generations, people have used gold as a trusted way to measure value. It's like the solid rock that all other money stuff is built on — even credit and loans! Why Trust Matters in Money Money and investments work well when people trust them. If people believe something will keep its value (like a house or a bond), they treat it like it's worth more. But if trust drops, so does its value. Markets Move in Cycles The market goes through ups and downs — kind of like a roller coaster. Smart investors know when it's time to be bold (taking some risks) and when to be safe (putting money into steady stuff like gold or real estate). Watch the Clues! You can spot where the market is going by checking: Gold prices (Is it rising? That could mean people are looking for safety.) Bond yields (How much are governments paying to borrow money?) Central bank policies (Are they raising or lowering interest rates?) Stay Calm & Be Flexible The best investors don't panic. They balance their emotions and adapt when things change. Like in sports — sometimes you attack, sometimes you defend — depending on how the game's going.

Ready to transform your entrepreneurial experience from constant stress to sustainable success? Dr. Lahana Vigliano reveals how your nervous system directly impacts your business decisions, creativity, and bottom line.Most business owners don't realize they're operating in a perpetual fight-or-flight state, with their bodies producing the same stress hormones whether they're missing a deadline or being chased by a tiger. This physiological state doesn't just feel uncomfortable – it actively undermines strategic thinking, leadership presence, and business growth.Dr. Lahana breaks down the surprising signs of nervous system dysregulation beyond obvious anxiety, including brain fog, digestive issues, and poor sleep quality. She offers remarkably simple techniques anyone can implement throughout their workday: deep belly breathing that signals safety to your body, humming or singing to stimulate your vagus nerve, and scheduling proper meals (because 95% of women entrepreneurs simply don't eat enough).The conversation explores how to structure your workday for optimal nervous system support – from filling your cup before logging on to creating firm boundaries around work hours and prioritizing genuine fun. These practices aren't indulgences; they're strategic investments in your business performance and sustainability.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Dr. Lahana's blend of scientific explanation and practical application. You'll walk away understanding not just what to do differently, but why these changes create such profound shifts in your entrepreneurial capabilities. Whether you're struggling with decision fatigue, creative blocks, or simply feeling overwhelmed, these nervous system regulation techniques offer an accessible path to calmer, more profitable entrepreneurship.Ready to stop the cycle of stress and start building your business from a place of nervous system regulation? This episode is your blueprint for sustainable success that feels good in your body and your business.Support the show
Ever feel like you're drowning in a sea of noise? Like the world's chaos is cranked up to 11 and you can't hear yourself think? You're not alone, my friend. In this episode, we're diving deep into the art of staying calm when everything around us feels like it's going bonkers.Let's face it - our world is loud. From breaking news to social media pings, from work emails to family group chats, it's a constant barrage of information. And while some of this noise is important (hello, world-changing events!), a lot of it is just... well, noise. It's the kind of stuff that leaves us feeling drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our inner selves.The Three Types of NoiseThe wake-up call: This is the good noise that reminds us we're alive and part of something bigger.The pseudo-urgency: Those clickbait headlines designed to hack our nervous systems.The background static: The sneaky, everyday distractions that dull our intuition.Finding Your Calm in the StormBut don't worry, I've got your back. We'll talk about practical ways to turn down the volume and tune into what really matters. You'll learn how to:Pause and ask yourself key questions when you're feeling overwhelmedDistinguish between meaningful action and emotional reactionsGive yourself permission to rest and rechargeWhy It MattersHere's the kicker: finding calm isn't just about feeling good (though that's pretty awesome). It's about becoming the kind of person the world needs right now. Someone who's:Rooted, not reactiveSovereign, not scatteredClear and conscious, not caught up in the noiseRemember, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders 24/7. It's not selfish to take care of yourself - it's absolutely necessary.So, if you're ready to find your zen in the middle of life's circus, tune in. Let's turn down the volume together and rediscover the power of a calm, clear mind.

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
Difficult conversations can feel overwhelming, triggering anxiety, defensiveness, or avoidance. Why does this happen? This episode explores the biology behind conflict, explaining how the brain and nervous system react to confrontation. When emotions take over, we often react impulsively rather than responding with clarity and confidence.The discussion breaks down why we avoid tough conversations, how childhood conditioning shapes our reactions, and why our nervous system triggers stress responses in moments of disagreement. Through a yogic perspective, key principles like Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satya (truthfulness) offer guidance on handling conversations with compassion and clarity.Practical strategies include grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and learning how to pause before reacting. The episode also covers real-life scenarios—like setting boundaries with a friend or addressing workplace conflicts—to illustrate how we can navigate difficult conversations while maintaining emotional balance.If you've ever struggled with tough discussions, this episode provides clear, actionable steps to approach them with confidence and calm.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:00 Why Difficult Conversations Feel So Emotionally Intense00:05:00 The Brain's Fight-or-Flight Response in Conflict00:08:00 Why We Avoid Difficult Conversations00:12:00 The Impact of Childhood Conditioning on Communication00:15:00 A Yogic Perspective: Ahimsa & Satya in Conflict00:18:00 Practical Strategies to Stay Calm and Respond Thoughtfully00:22:00 The Power of Breathwork in Tough Conversations00:25:00 Real-Life Examples: Setting Boundaries & Workplace Conflicts00:28:00 Final Reflections on Emotional Awareness and Growth—-------—-------—-Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Going Pro Yoga's Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/goingproyoga/—-------—-------—-Other Mentions:Ep# 112: The Nervous System and The Polyvagal Theory—-------—-------—Tags: difficult conversations, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, communication skills, setting boundaries, self-regulation, nervous system, stress response, mindfulness, yoga philosophy, ego vs. authenticity, self-growth, vulnerability, active listening, handling disagreements
