What happens when you stop following the rulebook and start trusting yourself?In this conversation, Tal shares his journey from addictionand disconnection to becoming a Reiki teacher who challenges what mainstream Reiki teaches about "doing it right."Moving from the UK back to the Italian Alps, Tal brings arefreshingly honest perspective on energy work that's been largely absent from the spiritual industry IMO: the radical idea that your authentic expression matters more than perfect technique, that everything always works when you'realigned with your truth, and that the rigid structures we've inherited are often just mirrors of the control we experienced growing up.We explore the creative life force that addiction wasactually seeking, how lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences reveal our true power, why "protection" is ultimately an internal state, and the revolutionary act of integrating your spiritual practice into the magicallymundane moments of everyday life.This is for anyone who's felt constrained by spiritualdogma, who suspects there's more freedom available in their practice than they've been taught, and who's ready to trust themselves over external authority.WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER BY THE END OF THIS EPISODE-How the creative force we can seek through addiction,distraction, or numbing is actually  a soulcalling back to authentic expression - and the specific moment Tal realised this about his own 10-year struggle with addiction, and how music became the bridge to reclaiming his freedom-Why "doing Reiki right" is actually the thingthat keeps it from working - including the counterintuitive truth that everything works when you're aligned with your authentic power, and how Tal's "freestyle" teacher freed him from decades of seeking the "perfect technique"-The hidden connection between rigid spiritual structuresand the control patterns we learned growing up - and how recognising this pattern is the first step toward reclaiming your sovereignty in your practice and your life-How to access lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences,and premonitions as reliable guidance - not as supernaturalsuperpowers, but as natural human capacities we've been taught to suppress, including what Tal discovered about safety, fear, and the untouchable essence of who you really are-The difference between "higher vibration"hierarchy and authentic integration - why the spiritual industry's obsession with levels and advancement keeps practitioners small, and what it actually means to live a "magically mundane existence" where your practice isn't separate from your life, it's woven through itSpirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free workshop Lifting the Veil on Reiki: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-communityYou'' find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefine & then InstagramYou'll find Tal here:Instagram @talenergyawakening @beyondhumanWebsite: talenergyawakening.com

Did Dickens ruin Christmas? He was certainly a pioneer in exploiting its commercial potential. A Christmas Carol sold 6,000 copies in five days when it was published on 19 December 1843, and Dickens went on to write four more lucrative Christmas books in the 1840s. But in many ways, this ‘ghost story of Christmas' couldn't be less Christmassy. The plot displays Dickens's typical obsession with extracting maximum sentimentality from the pain and death of his characters, and the narrative voice veers unnervingly from preachy to creepy in its voyeuristic obsessions with physical excess. The book also offers a stiff social critique of the 1834 Poor Law and a satire on Malthusian ideas of population control. In this long extract from ‘Novel Approaches', part of our Close Readings podcast, Colin Burrow and Clare Bucknell join Tom to consider why Dickens's dark tale has remained a Christmas staple.

Maria Taglioni changed ballet forever. In the early nineteenth century she reinvented the art form, dancing en pointe not as a trick but as poetry, creating the illusion of weightlessness and giving birth to Romantic ballet. This lively, story-rich piece traces her extraordinary rise, her London triumphs at Her Majesty's Theatre, and her surprisingly proper London life in Connaught Square, just off Marble Arch. From Parisian hysteria to West End adoration, this is the story of the woman who taught audiences across Europe how to believe in flight.

Welcome back to Resourceful Designer! I'm Mark, and today I want to share a unique perspective I've gained as both a graphic designer and someone with a growing collection of tattoos. I got my first tattoo at 53, thanks to my talented daughter who became a tattoo artist, and now, at 56, I have six pieces inked on my body, each with a story. In this episode, I'll talk about how the permanence of tattoos has made me reflect on the power we have as designers: in our world, designs aren't set in stone like tattoos are. We have the flexibility to tweak, evolve, and improve our work, even years later. I'll dive into how striving for perfection sometimes holds us back, why knowing when a design is "done" is an art in itself, and how embracing imperfection and change makes us better creatives. Plus, I'd love to see your tattoos and hear your thoughts, so stick around!

As we close out 2025, Pastor Lee sits down with his son, Harrison, for a candid year-end conversation. Together, they reflect on the personal lessons learned this past year, what 2025 revealed about our world and the Church, and the opportunities ahead as we step into 2026. From the importance of staying teachable and saying yes to the best yes, to navigating cultural tension, maturity in leadership, and responding to pain that touches every life, this episode is both honest and hopeful. Pastor Lee also shares highlights from this year's Kingdom Builders impact and offers insight into where he believes God is leading next. This conversation is an encouragement for leaders, pastors, and anyone seeking clarity, wisdom, and purpose as they prepare for the year ahead.

In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, Luke, Ash, and Tom take a culture-first approach to the creator economy, starting with a nostalgic dive into Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Care Bears, and Voltron. What begins as a playful conversation about childhood media quickly becomes a lens for understanding fandom, incentives, and why people engage with content in the first place, drawing clear parallels to today's Web3 and social platforms.The discussion then turns to creator coins, tipping mechanics, and onchain social networks, with the hosts questioning whether these models genuinely support creators or simply add unnecessary complexity. Drawing on past Web3 experiments and real-world examples, they explore the tradeoffs between universal currencies and creator-specific tokens, the limits of tipping culture, and what sustainable creator monetization in crypto might actually look like.Check out our friends at Tequila 512:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tequila512.com⁠⁠Socials: ⁠⁠X (Twitter)⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Facebook⁠To learn more about ATX DAO:Check out the ⁠ATX DAO ⁠websiteFollow ⁠@ATXDAO⁠ on X (Twitter)Subscribe to our newsletterConnect with us on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Join the community in the ⁠ATX DAO Discord⁠Connect with the ATX DAO Podcast team on X (Twitter):Ash:  ⁠@ashinthewild⁠Luke: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Luke152⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom: @Tommyg_25Support the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with your network.Subscribe for more insights, interviews, and deep dives into the world of Web 3.

I don't usually get this personal on the podcast…But after doing my year-end reflection, I realized I couldn't not share this with you.Because 2025? Whew. It was the year I finally understood what it truly means to build a brand, a business, and a life that supports the woman I'm becoming.Not who I was before motherhood.Not the corporate version of me.Not even the version who launched this business years ago.This year asked more of me, and gave more back.And sure, I could go on about the fact that it was my best year in business (which it was)... But let's talk about something most people avoid…That weird, wobbly season when things look fine on the outside.. but inside, you know something's off.That was me in 2024.The numbers were down. My energy felt off. I questioned everything.But instead of forcing or faking, I slowed down.And what came through was nothing short of miraculous.In this episode of the Your Legacy Brand Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the biggest lessons that transformed me:✨ Why slowing down is not falling behind (and how it led to my biggest breakthrough)✨ How aligned generosity creates opportunities you can't even plan for✨ What it really looks like to build with spiritual and entrepreneurial faithIf you've been feeling the call to realign, redefine, or completely recalibrate… this is for you.This episode is deep, raw, and full of takeaways you can carry into your next chapter.Links on today's episode:The ALL NEW Brand Clarity Workshop Series: join for only $7 by using the code LEGACY!

ABOUT THIS EPISODELet's be real… most of us were never taught how to feel — only how to function. Somewhere along the way, emotions became something to manage, minimize, or push through instead of listen to. And while that may have helped you survive, it might also be blocking your ability to fully embody the woman you're becoming.In this episode, we're talking about emotional permission — the practice of allowing yourself to feel without assuming the worst-case scenario. You'll learn why emotions are signals meant to guide you forward, not signs that something is wrong, and how giving yourself permission to feel actually strengthens your confidence, nervous system safety, and self-trust.This is a future-focused conversation about moving forward — not staying stuck in the past — and learning how to translate your feelings into guidance for a bright, aligned, and authentically you life.KEY TAKEAWAYSFeelings are signals, not flaws. They're designed to guide you toward your next right step.Emotional numbness isn't peace. It's often unfelt grief waiting for permission.You get to choose the meaning of your emotions. The positive interpretation is available too.When emotions are given space, they move. Suppression keeps them stuck.Emotional permission is embodiment. It's how healing turns into confident action.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: The Emotional Disconnect00:30 Permission to Feel Again01:00 Subscribe for More Real Talk01:33 Welcome Back: Honest Healing02:24 The First Time You Felt Inconvenient03:47 Emotional Suppression as a Strategy04:43 Therapy vs. Coaching05:54 Emotional Alchemy: Transforming Pain07:25 Guard Your Heart: Trusting Your Emotions07:42 Main Character Confidence Checklist08:27 Numbness vs. Healing09:04 Emotions as Signals, Not Conclusions12:12 Parental Guidance: Teaching Emotional Navigation14:21 The Permission Pivot: Self-Love Two Step15:32 Emotions as Divine Feedback17:16 Conclusion: Honor Your EmotionsTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: The Permission PivotNow let's bring this out of your head and into your body. The Permission Pivot is a simple, grounding practice that helps you stop fearing your emotions and start trusting them as guidance. This is how you move from awareness into embodiment.✨ Step 1: Pause + Locate Notice where the feeling lives in your body — chest, throat, stomach, jaw. No fixing. No story. Just awareness.

In this week's episode of the Make It You Podcast, I'm sharing the real lessons 2025 taught me — not the highlight reel, but the behind-the-scenes growth. From projects that didn't work, to conversations I avoided for too long, to learning how to slow down and lead differently, this episode is a reflective close to a year that stretched me in every way — as a business owner, a leader, a mother, and a woman evolving into her next chapter. If you're closing out the year feeling proud, tired, clearer, or all of the above, this episode will meet you right where you are. What you'll learn in this episode:Why growth doesn't come from doing more — it comes from doing things differently (including hiring up and letting go of control)How asking harder, more honest questions builds stronger relationships and better alignmentWhy resilience is built through action, not perfection — and how “failed” projects become data As you reflect on 2025 and prepare for what's next, this episode will help you gain clarity on what to release, what to keep, and how to move forward with intention.

Ep 148. Have you ever felt that you have completely lost your identity inside a relationship? Or ever struggled with identifying your feelings until another person either helps you… or prevents you from having to metabolize those feelings altogether? This episode has been a long time in the making. What is codependency really, and how does it tie into the deep shame that women so often feel in so many parts of our lives— our productivity, our bodies, our relationships? Why does it feel so deeply woven into our lineage + society, and the ways in which we were taught to love and be loved? Vanessa Bennett, relationship therapist and author of The Motherhood Myth, is breaking down the science behind codependency, why romantic relationships are one of the only socially sanctioned addictions in our culture, and tangible tools to address dysfunctional attachment when it does appear. We are diving into what codependency looks like in real, day-to-day relationships, and why we tend to  show up differently with different people. She breaks down why both men and women carry a deep "choose me" wound, and how this can evolve into codependency if not questioned. Thank you all so much for listening, and Happy New Year! HERE'S THE JUICE:   Why shame and the fear of abandonment are often the two throughlines that exist in everybody who struggles with codependency  Vanessa takes a deep dive into the science of codependency and what it often looks like day-to-day in romantic relationships  Why is it so important to identify if the system we are operating in is coming from a place of lack vs. enhancement  The truth about why we show up differently in different relationships and why attachment styles are often a spectrum with different people, as opposed to a finite label  The history behind why both men and women often have a "choose me" wound  How values have changed in the last 100 years and why our lineage often plays into how we experience attachment, highlighting how attachment for women has gone from a place of need to a place of want ONLY in the last 50 years  Connect with Olivia: MY MUSIC IS OFFICIALLY OUT NOW ⭐️❤️

Happy holidays! The end of the year is the perfect time for some reflection. So in this last episode of the year, I'm reflecting on what coaching hundreds of clients has taught me about recovery, my clients, and eating disorders.

In this interview I'm joined by Dr. Brandon Smith to discuss his book, Taught by God: Ancient Hermeneutics for the Modern Church. We talk about how Christians have read Scripture over the course of history, what we can learn from the way the Fathers, the Reformers, and others read Scripture. We also talk about what this looks like in a Protestant context. Smith earned a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Dallas Baptist University, an M.A. in Theological and Biblical Studies from Criswell College, and a Ph.D. in Theology from Ridley College (Melbourne). He is the author of numerous books, book contributions, and journal articles. His books include The Trinity in the Book of Revelation (IVP Academic, 2022), The Biblical Trinity (Lexham, 2023), and Taught by God (B&H Academic, 2024).Read the Book: https://amzn.to/4qcvdQ6Check out his channel:  @churchgrammar Want to support the channel?

I'm closing out 2025 with a candid reflection on the biggest lessons I've learned this year — about staying adaptable, protecting my freedom, and doubling down on what really matters in my coaching business. From navigating the “trust recession” and experimenting with new offers, to taking almost two full months off this summer (without losing revenue), this episode is packed with the real-life insights that helped me keep my coaching business grounded and growing. Here's what I'm sharing: Why market shifts aren't a reason to panic — they're an invitation to get curious How going back to my beta mindset helped me test, tweak, and learn through uncertainty Why it's not just okay to change your mind — it's essential if you want a business that lasts What it actually took to step away for two months this summer while keeping revenue steady The single biggest constant in business: your funnel — and why it's the thing to protect when everything else feels uncertain If you've been craving a grounded, encouraging take on how to move into 2026 with confidence, clarity, and calm — this one's for you.

Topical teaching of Luke CH 1:46-55 focusing on verses 46-49 in regards to Mary's response in praising the Lord, after receiving word from the angel Gabriel that what would be conceived in her, would be the Son of the living God! We will examine how this young girl expresses a seasoned faith that every Christian should consider, as well as how each believer should be more than bold during this time of year to proclaim and explain, the significance of the greatest conception known to man for the redemption for all of mankind. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

Topical teaching of Matthew CH 1:18-25 regarding the events that surrounded the amazing birth of the Messiah.

Nothing was said.Marcus Perez, CEO of Altera Digital Health, described a moment that began as a mistake and still shapes how he leads thousands today.No meeting followed.No email.No correction in the usual sense.Instead, the situation escalated.The next day, someone more senior took control — not to punish, not to explain — but to recreate the risk.Closer.Lower.Long enough to make the point unavoidable.What stayed with me wasn't the danger...It was the restraint.The decision to teach without reacting.To let accountability come after understanding.And to trust that the moment itself would do the work.As our conversation unfolded, beyond that incident — into pressure, truth, and why leaders often default to intensity when something else is required.It's the kind of leadership moment that doesn't feel dramatic at first…but quietly rewires how you show up years later.Ever taught or learned a lesson where nothing needed to be said?-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

Send us a textVIDEO PODCAST HERENew evidence continues to come forth showing the isolation doctrine we were taught is far from the truth.  Much activity took place long before Columbus "discovered" America in 1492.   As artifacts and other evidence comes forth we can see that people many more peoples visited the Americas from the eastern hemisphere then we were taught in school growing up.   Not only were there visitors to this continent, but there was understanding of Jesus dateing long before the 1400's.   America was not as "isolated" as we have been told.    Restored Gospel - Scripture Search and Study Resources Contact us:restoredgospelpodcast@gmail.comMusic by Michael Barrett

Morning Prayer and the Litany (The Fourth Sunday in Advent 2025) from Trinity Anglican Church (Connersville, IN)37 He brought his servants forth, enriched with Egypt's borrowed wealth; And, what transcends all treasures else, enriched with vig'rous health. 38 Egypt rejoiced, in hopes to find her plagues with them removed; Taught dearly now to fear worse ills by those already proved. 39 Their shrouding canopy by day a journeying cloud was spread; A fiery pillar all the night the desert marches led. 40 They longed for flesh; with ev'ning quails he furnished ev'ry tent; From heav'n's own granary, each morn, the bread of angels sent. 41 He smote the rock, whose flinty breast poured forth a gushing tide; Whose flowing streams, where'er they marched, the desert's drought supplied. 42 For still he did on Abr'am's faith an ancient league reflect; 43 He brought his people forth with joy, with triumph his elect. 44 Quite rooting out their heathen foes from Canaan's fertile soil, To them in cheap possession gave the knit of others' toil. 45 That they his statutes might observe, his sacred laws obey; For benefits so vast let us our songs of praise repay.

2025 felt like a year when everything became more and harder. More crises. More fear. More civic strain. More communities under pressure. And yet – more leadership, too. In this episode, Glennda connects with Darlene Nipper, President of the Rockwood Leadership Institute, for a grounded look at what leadership truly looked like in 2025. Darlene shares what she and her team witnessed across the country: communities organizing, mutual-aid volunteers pivoting to meet urgent needs, families creating rapid-response communication networks, and leaders of small organizations adapting and strategizing for the future. This wasn't leadership from the podium. It was leadership from the sidewalk, school hallway, boardroom, and living room. Together, Glennda and Darlene talk about what broke, what held, and what grew stronger this year:  How democracy became a shared responsibility, not just a political concept What “leading from the inside out” looks like in high-pressure environments Why the long view and the short view have to coexist What nonprofit leaders need to prioritize amid uncertainty And through it all, one truth kept surfacing: leadership is no longer reserved for the chosen few. It is happening everywhere, often in people who never expected to step into the role. Whether you lead a nonprofit, neighborhood group, faith community, or simply your own family, this episode offers clarity on what your leadership means right now, and what it needs next. TUNE IN TO LEARN: How 2025 redefined who counts as a leader: This year showed us that leadership doesn't just come from titles or org charts – neighbors, parents, volunteers, and everyday people stepped in where systems fell short. Why democracy became a litmus test for leadership this year: In 2025, leaders weren't just asked to run programs. They were asked to choose whether to protect democratic values or remain silent as they eroded. How easy on-ramps – rather than professional gatekeeping – brought more people into meaningful action: Grassroots movements gained momentum because people could simply show up, proving accessibility is what fuels community power. What nonprofit leaders need to prioritize amid uncertainty: From pivoting quickly to listening deeply, this episode breaks down the practices that helped organizations stay grounded and effective. How leaders are thinking ahead while addressing immediate crises: Even while navigating fires, funding losses, and political turmoil, visionary leaders shifted into long-view strategy – imagining a future they may never personally see. KEY QUOTES: “I think this notion of leadership is this far-off behavior or category of people that's not us, totally is a thing, you know, and it's like – no, actually it is all of us.” - Darlene Nipper “I do think this moment is calling a lot of people into leadership in ways that are really motivating.” - Glennda Testone “So money should not be a problem. You know? That should not even be an issue. If we believe in the work, we need to give it away is such a level that people are just not even leaders are not even thinking about where the money is going to come from.” - Darlene Nipper “Listen to your constituents, your community, your people, and come out with what you know, because your role, your place, your space is very unique to you and the work that you're doing.” - Darlene Nipper ABOUT GUEST: With over 25 years of leadership and advocacy experience, Darlene Nipper joined Rockwood as a trainer in 2012 and now serves as CEO. Darlene's knowledge of the challenges facing leaders and the practices required for effective leadership is informed by her own background at a range of organizations. She has held key leadership roles in nonprofit and social justice organizations, as well as city government and foundations.  Darlene previously served as the executive director of the BET Foundation, and as the chief operating officer at National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), during which time she founded NAMI's Multicultural and International Policy Center. She is the former director of LGBT Affairs in the Executive Office of the Mayor of D.C., and the 2024-25 Visiting Senior Fellow for Movement Infrastructure and Explorations at the Freedom Together Foundation. A native Washingtonian, Darlene is an ordained interfaith minister, and practices mindfulness meditation, deep presence, and living joy.

We recently had an insightful conversation with the Ex-CEO of Myntra & Founder of Virgio, and the discussion went far beyond trends, collections, and marketing.We spoke about the realities of fashion as a business—the parts most people don't talk about.Here are a few powerful takeaways from the episode The Darker Side of FashionFast cycles, excess inventory, margin pressure, and unsustainable practices—fashion is exciting on the surface, but brutally complex underneath. Why 90%+ Fashion Brands Don't SurviveIt's not lack of creativity.It's weak fundamentals, poor unit economics, short-term thinking, and ignoring consumer evolution. How the Fashion Industry Is EvolvingFrom “more, faster, cheaper” to purpose, profitability, and responsibility.The future belongs to brands that build systems, not just styles. What is Virgio — and Why It's More Than a Fashion BrandVirgio is a strong example of how conscious fashion can be built without compromising on scale, design, or business viability. Role of Businesses in Building Conscious BrandsSustainability isn't a marketing campaign.It's a leadership decision—embedded in sourcing, operations, pricing, and culture. The Shift in Consumer BehaviourToday's consumers are asking:Where was this made?Who made it?Why does this brand exist? How to Survive & Thrive in the New Business of FashionThe answer lies at the intersection of:Clarity of purpose + strong business fundamentals + deep consumer understandingThis episode is a must-watch/listen for:️ Fashion founders️ Brand builders️ Operators️ Anyone looking to build a future-ready fashion business Watch the full episode here: [Add link]Would love to hear your thoughts—Do you think fashion is finally moving from fast to conscious?

Before you charge into a new year with fresh goals, shiny spreadsheets, and unrealistic optimism, it's worth doing the one thing most people skip. Looking back honestly at what just happened. Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, Neighbor Doug, Paula Pant (Afford Anything), and Jesse Cramer (Personal Finance for Long Term Investors) gather for an end-of-year roundtable to unpack the financial, personal, and behavioral lessons that 2025 handed us. Sometimes those lessons arrived gently. Sometimes they shoved us face-first into reality. Either way, this episode isn't about predictions for what's coming. It's about understanding the patterns from what already happened. The team digs into what diversification actually meant this year when some of the old rules stopped working the way they used to. They explore why emotional reactions to headlines still cost investors real money, even when everyone knows better. And they examine how policy noise (tariffs, political drama, market freakouts) reminded us once again that short-term chaos rarely deserves long-term decisions. Along the way, the conversation touches on housing lessons learned, family priorities that got re-examined, and AI's quiet but growing influence on work, productivity, and opportunity. The thread running through it all? Financial planning only works when it serves the life you're trying to build, not the other way around. This episode balances big-picture thinking with real-life reflection. It's the kind of honest look back that actually helps you move forward smarter instead of just louder. What You'll Walk Away With: • The most important financial lessons 2025 taught investors, whether they actually listened or not • How AI quietly changed work, productivity, and opportunity in ways that matter for your money decisions • Why diversification looked different this year and what investment principles still held up under pressure • How market volatility exposed emotional blind spots you might not have known you had (and how to fix them) • What the housing market taught us about patience, expectations, and timing • Why year-end reflection beats year-end predictions every single time • How family dynamics, personal values, and money planning intersect more than anyone likes to admit This Episode Is For You If: • You want to learn from 2025 before setting goals you'll abandon by February • You made some money decisions you're proud of and some you'd rather forget • Market headlines changed your behavior this year and you're wondering if that was smart • You're tired of prediction content and want actual reflection on what already happened • You believe getting smarter about money means being honest about what you got wrong Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What money decision in 2025 are you most proud of, and which one taught you the biggest lesson? Going into 2026, what one financial habit would make the biggest difference if you actually stuck with it?

In today's episode of Reddit Stories Podcast, a wild Karen completely loses it. You won't believe how this one ends! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this binge-worthy Reddit Stories Podcast, featuring Karen freakouts, entitled people stories, and pro revenge tales.

Yale psychologist Marc Brackett, bestselling author of Permission to Feel, joins Mosh to break down his new book ⁠Dealing With Feeling⁠ — a practical guide to emotional regulation at a moment when society seems more reactive, overwhelmed, and dis-regulated than ever. Brackett, who founded the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, explains what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). It's not suppressing emotions or “checking them at the door,” he says — it's learning to use your feelings wisely to achieve your goals. The episode dives into: Why most adults were never taught emotional regulation and how beliefs from childhood still shape our reactions. The crucial difference between emotions — anger vs. disappointment, anxiety vs. stress — and why naming them accurately changes everything. Co-regulation: how to support your partner, friend, colleague, or child through difficult feelings without fixing or lecturing. Why venting often backfires, and how to help someone break the cycle of rumination. The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.

In this solo Coffee Conversation, Jesse reflects on his personal journey through 2025 and the business framework that has guided him for years.He shares how thinking in quarters changed the way he ran his painting business and why each season of the year has a different role to play. From driving massive activity early, to optimizing production, to enjoying the payoff, and finally slowing down to reflect and plan.This episode is about patterns, clarity, and building a business that works on paper before you work yourself into the ground.If you want a more intentional way to plan your year and avoid repeating the same mistakes, this conversation will give you a simple framework to start with.

The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.
