Podcasts about Stress management

What if the emotional patterns you struggle with aren’t actually who you are? What if they’re just patterns—and patterns can be interrupted? I’m joined by Dr. Elisha Goldstein, returning to the show eight years after his first appearance, to talk about his new book, Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about healthy eating, exercise, fitness, sleep, and all the things we do to live a long and healthy life, but what about the emotional stuff? Because Elisha makes the case that emotional longevity is just as important as physical longevity—and that living in a high-stress, agitated pattern can potentially take years off your life. We get into his simple 4-R method: recognize, release, refocus, reinforce, which can help you catch yourself in an overwhelmed loop before you spiral into those undesirable, repeatable patterns. We talk about why the skills we learn can easily fail us when we need them the most—when we’re under pressure, agitated, or triggered—and how to create more space between stimulus and response. Elisha explains why emotions are biology, how getting in touch with what’s happening in your body can change the way you respond, and why asking your brain better questions can lead to better answers. We also talk about the everyday moments that can send us into these patterns, from traffic to social media outrage to difficult relationships, and Elisha shares a personal story about getting scammed online that puts all of this to the test in real time. This is a fascinating conversation about emotional health, longevity, and learning to recognize the patterns that drive our behavior so we can interrupt them and give ourselves more choice in the moments when we need it most.

Text your thoughts and questions!We often think rest is something we earn after we've worked hard enough. We push through exhaustion, tell ourselves we'll slow down later, and believe that getting more done is the key to feeling better. But what if we've been thinking about rest all wrong?This week, in episode 323 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Gary Ware, founder of Breakthrough Play, keynote speaker, certified coach, and bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. As part of our summer series on energy, stress, and nervous system regulation, this timely re-release explores why rest is essential—not as a reward for productivity, but as the foundation that makes sustainable productivity possible.Gary Ware is the founder of Breakthrough Play, a keynote speaker, certified coach, and the bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. Through applied improvisation, positive psychology, and the science of play, Gary helps individuals and organizations reduce stress, strengthen communication, spark creativity, and build more sustainable ways of working. His mission is to help people challenge the belief that productivity requires constant hustle and instead embrace play and rest as powerful tools for greater impact, innovation, and well-being.In this conversation, Gary introduces three distinct types of rest—macro, micro, and meso—and explains how each one helps reduce stress, restore creativity, and support your energy in different ways. He also shares why play isn't childish, why entrepreneurs often resist rest the most, and how small shifts can dramatically improve your focus, well-being, and impact.Key Takeaways:Rest isn't something you earn. It's something that allows you to do your best work.Chronic stress keeps your brain in fight, flight, or freeze mode, reducing creativity, empathy, and clear thinking.Better sleep isn't always about getting more hours. Improving the quality of your sleep can make a significant difference.A consistent wind-down routine helps your body transition into restorative sleep.Macro rest focuses on deep restoration through quality sleep and recovery.Micro rest consists of short five-minute breaks throughout the day that help reset your brain and restore energy between tasks.Scrolling social media or checking email isn't true rest. Choose activities that genuinely recharge you instead.Meso rest means intentionally stepping away from work for several hours, a day, or longer to pursue hobbies, family time, or activities that bring joy.Hobbies aren't a luxury—they help your brain make creative connections and improve problem-solving.Play looks different for everyone. The goal isn't to do what others find fun, but to discover what genuinely restores and energizes you.Sustainable productivity begins with honoring your energy, not constantly pushing through exhaustion.Rest isn't the opposite of productivity—it's what makes productivity sustainable. When you give yourself permission to rest before you're completely depleted, you create space for greater creativity, better decisions, stronger relationships, and more meaningful work. What would change if you stopped trying to earn your rest and started treating it as one of your greatest strengths?Thank you for listening!

Delighted to have Dr. Michelle Peris, host of the Wild Medicine podcast, naturopathic doctor, speaker and women's empowerment advocate, back for another 2-part conversation! In this episode, we dive into the topic of recovery, something that so many high achievers, entrepreneurs and ambitious women quietly struggle with.After recently completing a comprehensive executive health assessment, one thing that became crystal clear to me was working on my recovery and rest! That realization led Dr. Michelle and I into an honest conversation about burnout, nervous system resilience, and why taking care of ourselves isn't something we earn after working hard. It's an essential part of performing and feeling our best.In this episode, we explore:• Why recovery isn't the opposite of productivity, it's what allows you to sustain it.• The role nervous system resilience plays in stress, performance and overall health.• Dr. Michelle's personal burnout journey and the difficult decisions that ultimately changed her life.• Common signs of burnout that are often overlooked, especially by high performers.• How breathwork, presence and simple daily practices can help you respond to stress instead of constantly reacting to it.One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation was the reminder that we don't earn rest after we've exhausted ourselves. Recovery is part of the process, not a reward at the end of it.I'd love to know what resonated most with you!

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.

Veränderung ist keine Option mehr – sie ist Voraussetzung, um langfristig erfolgreich zu bleiben. In dieser sehr persönlichen Folge spricht Jörg über eine der größten strategischen Entscheidungen seiner Unternehmerkarriere. Er erklärt, warum sich die Valuniq AG künftig vollständig auf Unternehmensberatung und Kapitalanlagen für Unternehmen konzentriert und weshalb Spezialisierung heute wichtiger ist als alles gleichzeitig machen zu wollen. Außerdem gibt Jörg einen Einblick in die Entstehung dieser Entscheidung, spricht über den Aufbau von Unternehmen X und erklärt, warum klare Kompetenzgrenzen und starke Partnerschaften die Zukunft der Finanzdienstleistung prägen werden. Dabei geht es auch um die Zusammenarbeit mit der TELIS und die gemeinsame Vision, Unternehmensberatung und Finanzdienstleistung enger miteinander zu verbinden. Doch die Folge geht weit über diese Veränderung hinaus. Jörg zeigt, warum sich Märkte ständig weiterentwickeln, weshalb erfolgreiche Unternehmer ihre Strategien regelmäßig hinterfragen müssen und warum der Satz „Zeiten ändern dich“ heute aktueller ist denn je. Wer an alten Erfolgsrezepten festhält, wird langfristig den Anschluss verlieren – wer bereit ist, sich weiterzuentwickeln, schafft neue Chancen. Eine Folge über Veränderung, Fokus und den Mut, das eigene Unternehmen immer wieder neu zu denken.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when achievement, control, and constant motion finally break down? In this deeply reflective episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with former professional table tennis player and performance coach Jure Koscak to explore chronic pain, nervous system regulation, emotional maturity, and the hidden cost of living in survival mode.Raised in Slovenia and now living in Punta Cana, Jure shares how years of overtraining, relentless pressure, and internal tension eventually led to severe chronic pain and a complete rethinking of life. Through clinical somatics, breathwork, slowing down, and self-awareness, he discovered a new path centered on presence instead of performance.This conversation dives into subconscious patterns, stress, trauma, healing, relationships, and why many high performers struggle to relax even after reaching success. Jure also explains how modern life disconnects us from our bodies — and why slowing down may be the key to clarity, health, and emotional freedom.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your own head, or constantly chasing the next outcome, this episode will challenge the way you think about success, pressure, and what it means to truly live.

Do you ever wonder what the real signs of good health look like when nothing is technically wrong yet? Most people wait until a medical diagnosis to pay attention. Still, your body sends honest signals every single day, long before any lab report or blood test ever catches up to the truth about how you feel inside.In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck breaks down nutrition and movement, mental health, sleep quality, digestion and elimination, hormonal balance, and self-trust, giving listeners a practical, judgment-free way to recognize true wellness and learn to trust their own bodies.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How to evaluate digestion and elimination patterns as an everyday marker of real health✅ Why sleep consistency matters just as much as total hours for genuine recovery✅ The link between nervous system regulation and how well you handle everyday stress✅ How body composition and menstrual cycle regularity offer clues about hormonal balanceThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

In this episode, Therese Markow and psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Scott discuss narcissism, its clinical definition, and the characteristics of "malignant narcissism". Dr. Scott explains that narcissism involves patterns of grandiosity, a need for constant admiration, a lack of empathy, high levels of manipulation, and the narcissist's "kryptonite" - criticism. They view themselves as the victim, never at fault. Despite their arrogance, they are very insecure. Dr. Scott also discusses why treatment is challenging and why therapy often focuses on managing symptoms rather than the deeper core issues. They can't see that they have a problem, and thus are resistant to treatment.    Key Takeaways: The myth of Narcissus illustrates the danger of excessive self-focus, which is the hallmark of narcissism in clinical terms and is becoming increasingly common in some aspects of our modern society.  Narcissists are very good at manipulation. They consciously will do things to sort of manage their image in the eyes of others. They may appear to show empathy at times in a relationship, but it's usually more of a means to an end than a genuine concern for the feelings of others. Criticism is like kryptonite to a narcissist, so even the mildest critique can provoke a strong defensive reaction: anger, denial, or shifting the blame to somebody else. You cannot change a narcissist's behavior, but you can control your own responses to it. Think about limits and then give yourself leeway within those to protect your own mental health.    "[Narcissists] might mimic empathetic behaviors to achieve their own ends, but it's more about manipulation than genuine caring. So they can understand maybe what empathy looks like, but not really get how it feels and how it's supposed to feel and how those behaviors are supposed to be rooted in something inside them." —  Elizabeth Scott, Ph.D.   Connect with Elizabeth Scott, Ph.D.: Twitter: https://x.com/ElizabethScott  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AboutStressManagement/  Website: https://drelizabethscott.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.elizabethscott/  Book: 8 Keys to Stress Management: https://www.amazon.com/Keys-Stress-Management-Mental-Health-ebook/dp/B00AJUKO5M    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Woran man einen Burnout erkennt, bevor es zu spät ist

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever found yourself reaching for your phone the moment you have a few minutes of downtime? Or felt uncomfortable sitting in silence without something to watch, listen to, or do?We've come to believe that boredom is something to avoid at all costs. But what if boredom isn't a problem to solve? What if those quiet, unstructured moments are exactly what your brain needs to think more creatively, solve problems, and restore your mental energy?In this episode, Lisa challenges the belief that every moment needs to be filled with activity or content. She explores the fascinating neuroscience behind boredom, explains how your brain's default mode network supports creativity and insight, and shares simple ways to intentionally create space for productive mind-wandering. You'll learn why embracing boredom isn't wasting time—it's giving your brain one of the most valuable productivity tools available.This week, episode 322 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores why boredom is good for your brain and shares practical ways to use quiet moments to boost creativity, problem-solving, and mental well-being.Key Takeaways:Understand why boredom isn't a problem—but an important signal from your brain.Learn how the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) supports creativity, reflection, and innovation.Discover why unstructured cognitive time is essential for productive thinking.Recognize how constant digital stimulation prevents your brain from making meaningful connections.Learn why mind wandering is a powerful tool for problem-solving and future planning.Explore the surprising research showing why people often avoid boredom at all costs.Understand how social media and constant scrolling can leave you feeling less satisfied over time.Learn why boredom can feel especially uncomfortable for people with ADHD—and why it's still valuable.Discover simple ways to create intentional low-stimulation pockets throughout your day.Learn why starting with just five minutes of quiet can strengthen your brain's creative capacity.Recognize the importance of observing your habits without judgment as you practice stillness.Reframe boredom as "unstructured cognitive time" to better appreciate its purpose.Learn why allowing children (and yourself) to experience boredom encourages creativity and independence.Hear how embracing quiet moments can support both your productivity and nervous system.Discover why making room for boredom may be one of the most productive habits you build.Thank you for listening!

Most people think all stress is bad—but what if avoiding every stressor is actually making your body less resilient?In Part 2 of this two-part series, Dr. Taves explores the concept of good stress and how the right kinds of short-term challenges can help your body become stronger, healthier, and more resilient to headaches and migraines.From exercise and cold exposure to learning new skills and building physical capacity, you'll learn why health isn't about eliminating stress—it's about adapting to it.You'll learn:The difference between good stress and chronic stressWhy resilience matters for headache recoveryHow exercise can increase your headache threshold over timeThe science behind hormesis and positive adaptationWhy recovery is just as important as the stress itselfPractical ways to safely build physical and mental resilienceIf you've been avoiding movement, exercise, or other challenges because you're afraid they'll trigger a headache, this episode offers a different perspective on how building resilience may be part of your recovery.

I am allowed to feel exactly as I feel.The warmth around me is safe. My body is safe. This moment is safe.I release the comparison. Other people's highlight reels are not my reality.I am not behind in life. I am present, and presence is enough.3 Daily Caring Tips for a Happier Life1. The Cool Down Anchor: When summer heat spikes your panic, place a cool, damp cloth on the back of your neck for 60 seconds. This instantly stimulates the vagus nerve through the skin to physically lower your heart rate.2. Name It to Tame It: If you feel isolated while others are enjoying themselves, say quietly to yourself: 'This is summer anxiety. It is a real thing, not a personality flaw.'

Viele Unternehmer machen Jahr für Jahr gute Gewinne – und stehen trotzdem irgendwann vor einem Problem: Es wurde Vermögen aufgebaut, aber nicht gesichert. In dieser Folge nimmt dich Jörg mit in einen echten Beratungsfall und zeigt, welche Fehler ihm in der Praxis immer wieder begegnen. Dabei wird deutlich, warum hohe Gewinne allein noch keinen finanziellen Erfolg bedeuten und weshalb eine gute Unternehmensstruktur weit mehr ist als reine Steueroptimierung. Du erfährst, warum viele Unternehmer ihr Eigenkapital zwar in der Bilanz sehen, das Geld aber im entscheidenden Moment nicht verfügbar ist. Außerdem erklärt Jörg, weshalb Immobilien, Holdingstrukturen und die richtige Vermögensplanung zusammengedacht werden müssen – und welche Folgen falsche Entscheidungen bei einer späteren Unternehmensnachfolge haben können. Darüber hinaus spricht er über die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Steuerberatern, Rechtsanwälten und Unternehmensberatern und warum erfolgreiche Unternehmer Berater brauchen, die gemeinsam an einer Lösung arbeiten – statt nur ihren eigenen Fachbereich zu betrachten.

In this episode of Zero to CEO, I speak with leadership coach and somatic practitioner Naomi Scott about why so many high-performing entrepreneurs burn out — even after achieving success. Naomi explains how burnout isn't a willpower problem, but a nervous system problem, and why the same drive that helps founders succeed can actually prevent them from sustaining growth. We dive into the biology behind burnout, how childhood patterns show up in leadership, and what it really takes to build a business that doesn't destroy your health. If you've ever felt like you're winning on the outside but running on fumes internally, this episode will help you rewire how you operate and lead.

We reflect on how time pressure has changed over the years, with constant notifications, information overload, and the expectation of being always available making many of us feel perpetually behind.We explore how anxiety changes our relationship to time. We describe how the mind turns ordinary time into a threat, making us feel that we are running out of time, late in life, or behind in healing. We also note how language such as “I don't have time” or “I'm killing time” reflects a strained view of time.We consider the impact of chronic urgency on the body. We say that long-term time stress can affect sleep, digestion, concentration, irritability, inflammation, and overall nervous system activation. We also point out that people often mistake hurry for productivity and live in constant preparation rather than participation.We offer a different approach based on rhythm and presence. We distinguish healthy planning from rehearsing disaster or replaying regret, and we identify four ways we leave the present: regret, guilt, fear, and urgency. We close with a simple practice of pausing, taking one slow breath, and focusing on what needs attention right now, with the reminder that healing begins when we stop racing toward a future version of ourselves.#TimeUrgency, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #NervousSystem, #SlowingDown, #PresentMoment, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #Overwhelm, #AlwaysAvailable, #DigitalDetox, #SocialMediaStress, #ComparisonCulture, #HealingJourney, #TimePressure, #Mindfulness, #InnerPeace, #StressManagement, #ChronicStress, #ProductivityTrap, #NatureRhythms, #ThichNhatHanh, #Presence, #MentalWellbeing, #SelfCompassion, #NervousSystemRegulation, #PresentMomentAwareness, #MentalHealthEducation, #DigitalOverwhelm, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Du triffst eine Entscheidung, bist im ersten Moment vollkommen überzeugt – und plötzlich kommen die Zweifel. Genau darüber spricht Jörg in dieser Folge. Warum erleben so viele Menschen Kaufreue, obwohl sie sich bewusst für etwas entschieden haben? Und weshalb ist dieses Gefühl oft kein Zeichen für eine schlechte Entscheidung, sondern ein ganz normaler Teil von Veränderung? Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus der Finanzdienstleistung und dem Unternehmertum erklärt Jörg, warum große Entscheidungen fast immer Unsicherheit auslösen. Er zeigt, weshalb viele Menschen genau in diesem Moment ihre Ziele aus den Augen verlieren und wie erfolgreiche Unternehmer lernen, trotzdem konsequent ihren Weg weiterzugehen. Außerdem geht es um die Bedeutung guter Beratung, warum Verkaufen weit mehr ist als Produkte anzubieten und weshalb echte Berater ihre Kunden auch nach einer Entscheidung begleiten müssen. Denn nicht die Entscheidung selbst ist oft die größte Herausforderung – sondern das Durchhalten danach.

Do you feel like you're in the driver's seat of your life, or does it feel like life is just happening to you? Empowered people have an infectious confidence and energy, and a lot of that personal agency comes down to a powerful concept in psychology: locus of control. Do our choices, habits, and actions shape our future? Or are we at the mercy of luck, circumstances, other people, and forces beyond our control? Your answer has a major impact on your confidence, resilience, motivation, mental health, relationships, success, and optimism. In this episode, we unpack the difference between an internal locus of control and an external locus of control, why some people feel empowered while others feel stuck, and how our childhood experiences, upbringing, and life circumstances can shape the stories we tell ourselves about what's possible. Tune in to hear: What the concept of locus of control is in psychology The difference between an internal vs. external locus of control Why locus of control influences confidence, resilience, happiness, motivation, and success The connection between external locus of control and anxiety/depression/stress How high performers often develop a stronger sense of personal agency How childhood experiences, parenting styles, and socioeconomic circumstances shape our beliefs Why your locus of control may differ across areas of your life Strategies to feel more empowered and build confidence in your abilities Whether you're navigating anxiety, building self-confidence, or trying to feel more empowered in your life, this is a powerful framework for understanding how your mindset shapes your reality.

Mayra Clay and Marc Krusin are a husband-and-wife team who have spent over 30 years in design and more than 15 years teaching meditation through Ishaya's Ascension (Bright Path). As parents themselves, they have woven mindfulness into the fabric of family life — not as a technique to perform, but as a way of being. Mayra is also a children's book author, bringing these ideas to life in ways that speak directly to young people.

We focus on how grief can intensify anxiety and panic, and we discuss ways to stay supported during this time.We explain that grief is individual and does not follow a fixed timeline. We note that people may grieve differently depending on the relationship, the type of loss, and their own resilience. We also say that grief can apply to many kinds of losses, not only death.We then describe common grief reactions, including shock, numbness, anger, sadness, fear, and anxiety. We mention that physical symptoms can include insomnia, fatigue, and changes in appetite, and we encourage listeners to notice these responses without judging them.We offer practical ways to cope, including meditation, short stress breaks, music, aromatherapy, prayer, and other calming rituals. We also encourage maintaining social support, reaching out to others when needed, and paying attention to sleep, exercise, food, and rest.We close by encouraging journaling, doodling, crying, and other forms of emotional release. We emphasize that allowing feelings to move through can help the nervous system settle and support a return to calm.#Grief, #Anxiety, #PanicAttack, #Loss, #Bereavement, #Mourning, #MentalHealth, #EmotionalWellness, #GriefSupport, #AnxietyRelief, #OvercomingPanic, #ShockAndNumbness, #GriefAnger, #DealingWithSadness, #OvercomingFear, #DealingWithUncertainty, #InsomniaRelief, #Fatigue, #SelfCare, #DailyRoutine, #StressManagement, #StressRelief, #Meditation, #Mindfulness, #StressBreaks, #Aromatherapy, #PetTherapy, #InspirationalQuotes, #SocialSupport, #TherapyWorks, #GriefCoaching, #SupportGroups, #PhysicalHealth, #ExerciseForMentalHealth, #Journaling, #CreativeRelease, #EmotionalExpression, #LetItFlow, #CopingMechanisms, #HealingJourney, #NervousSystemRegulation, #EmotionalRelease, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
