Podcasts about Unlearning

We discuss new players and old ones, too.

The key to unlearning lies in community, and we must embrace unlearning as a collective practice in order to fight for collective liberation. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book Radical Unlearning: The Art and Science of Creating Change from Within by Lewis Raven Wallace (and published by Beacon Press), which explores and analyzes the concepts of radical unlearning and neuropsychology, as well as many of the possible pathways to free ourselves of dangerous and supremacist ways of thinking and being as individuals and collectively, and what we learn and take away from this incredible book in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

Inclusion isn’t just about what you teach — it’s about what you’re willing to unlearn. In this bonus episode, Zoe sits down with nurse educator and disability advocate Vanessa Cameron to unpack what inclusion really looks like in education. Drawing on both lived experience and years of clinical teaching, Vanessa explores how thoughtful design, reflective practice, and unlearning outdated assumptions can help make learning safer and more equitable for everyone. This is a practical and honest conversation about rethinking educational design — and the real work it takes to build psychologically safe, inclusive spaces where capability can truly grow.

Send us a textWhat if the real breakthrough isn't learning more, but letting go? We explore how subtracting outdated beliefs can move you farther, faster than any new hack, and we do it in under five minutes. Instead of stuffing your mental closet with more books, courses, and tips, we show you how to clear space for growth by unlearning what no longer serves you.We start by reframing failure from identity threat to useful data. You'll hear a candid story about a first venture that flopped and the exact insights it delivered about audience, systems, and self-awareness. Then we turn to self-worth and why chasing likes, titles, and applause is like drinking salt water—tempting, but draining. You'll get a simple one-week exercise to rebuild confidence from inner traits such as kindness, resilience, curiosity, and humor, so your mood isn't at the mercy of other people's opinions.Finally, we take on the quiet killer of progress: the belief that if it isn't broken, you shouldn't fix it. Markets shift and methods age, and the risk isn't failure—it's irrelevance. We share practical prompts to spot where you've gotten comfortable, where you're repeating instead of evolving, and how to run small experiments with clear metrics. Along the way, you'll pick up tools like stop-doing lists, postmortems on wins and losses, and input hygiene to reduce noise and sharpen decisions.If you're ready to update your operating system, this short, focused episode gives you the mindset and moves to start today: treat failure as feedback, source worth from within, and trade comfort for continuous evolution. Listen now, share with a friend who's feeling stuck, and tell us in the comments the one belief you're ready to unlearn.

Trust in modern AI systems hinges on understanding how they learn—and, increasingly, how they can forget. This talk develops a geometric view of trustworthiness that unifies structure-aware optimization, stability analysis, and the emerging science of unlearning. I will begin by revisiting the role of sharpness and flatness in shaping both generalization and sample sensitivity, showing how the geometry of the loss landscape governs what models remember. Building on these insights, I will present recent results on Sharpness-Aware Machine Unlearning, a framework that characterizes when and how learning algorithms can provably erase the influence of specific data points while preserving accuracy on the rest. The discussion connects theoretical guarantees with empirical findings on the role of data distribution and loss geometry in machine unlearning—ultimately suggesting that the shape of the optimization landscape is the shape of trust itself. About the speaker: Rajiv Khanna is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science. His research interests span various subfields of machine learning including optimization, theory and interpretability.Previously, he held positions of Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google, postdoctoral scholar at Foundations of Data Analystics Institute at University of California, Berkeley and a Research Fellow in the Foundations of Data Science program at the Simons Institute also at UC Berkeley. He graduated with his PhD from UT Austin.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Juliana Hauser discuss the themes of holistic sexuality, emphasizing the importance of unlearning societal norms and embracing body acceptance. They explore the journey of self-discovery, the impact of sexual confidence, and the necessity of communication in relationships. The conversation also touches on the consequences of medications like Viagra, the need for more sex therapists, and the misconceptions surrounding female sexuality. Ultimately, they highlight the significance of arousal and connection as essential components of a fulfilling sexual experience. Takeaways Sexuality is a necessity, not a luxury. Unlearning societal norms is crucial for sexual confidence. Body compassion can transform one's relationship with self. Self-discovery is a journey that enhances sexual experiences. Communication is key in sexual relationships. Viagra's impact on sexual dynamics needs to be addressed. There is a gender bias in sexual health treatments. More sex therapists are needed to support women's sexual health. Misconceptions about female sexuality hinder self-acceptance. Arousal should be embraced as a valuable part of sexuality. https://dr-juliana.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drjulianahauser A New Position On Sex Thanks to our sponsor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midi Women's Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

They explore why structured diets (keto, vegan, carnivore,) actually work despite the internet arguing about them, as well as how psychological buy-in, age, physiological adaptability, and daily gym wins matter more than macros on paper.

Welcome back to The Hours Podcast, presented by SAVI Basketball! Hosts Mark and Tyler are fresh off program clinics and dive straight into the trenches of coaching philosophy and defensive installation.In this must-listen episode, they break down the common barriers coaches face when transitioning to a conceptual system like the Lock Left Defense (which they successfully installed in just 90 minutes!). They tackle the critical challenge of unlearning deeply ingrained defensive habits—from the archaic "choppy feet close-out" to the ineffective "hands up" mantra.Discover the difference between playing man-to-man and executing a system, why your players must genuinely love your defense, and the true power of holding a seemingly small standard like "Knees and Noise." This episode is a masterclass in intentional coaching, offering practical ways to elevate your practice standards, teach with clarity (Show, Don't Tell), and empower your defense to force turnovers and bad shots by strategically "making the ball go."

Ali Day is one of the world's top Ironman athletes - but this isn't about medals. It's about the mindset, habits, and grit that push humans past their limits. Ali breaks down the people who shaped him, the mental tools that rewired his approach, and the moments that tested him like never before.Behind the scenes, he reveals the visualisation and hypnosis tools that changed everything—imagining entire races in brutal detail, scripting every move, and rehearsing every scenario in his mind—alongside the recovery strategies, growth lessons, and life insights that stretch far beyond sport.In this episode, Andrew and Ali Day discuss:2:05 – Childhood heroes that sparked a love of sport 4:25 – The 10-minute breakthrough with a sports psychologist 8:35 – Mastering imagery: mental tools that changed the game 15:20 – Swimming against the Ironman current with support from those who mattered 17:30 – Breaking both wrists and rebuilding stronger than ever 24:15 – Unlearning old habits and redefining performance identity 32:55 – Why Ironman is never an individual sport 35:50 – The unglamorous grind behind the glory 43:30 – Recovery as a science: tracking every metric 47:15 – Life beyond Ironman: business and firefighting ambitions 54:15 – Reflecting on the journey and a 10-year vision 59:10 – Sports psychologist Lisa shares her reflectionsFollow Ali on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alastairday/?hl=enFind out more about ACTV Strength Co: https://actvstrengthco.com/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

If a facilitator goes unseen, are they any less present? This is the beautiful paradox of facilitation: as we grow more adept in our craft, our presence in the room becomes less noticeable – less needed – because we've subtly set the magic of facilitation into motion.Master of his craft Vinay Kumar knows this only too well.

Let's get something straight: sex isn't the problem—control is. In this episode, we go there with award-winning journalist Carter Sherman, unpacking the “second coming” of the sexual revolution: why Gen Z is having less sex, how abstinence-only “education” and the internet are shaping desire (and anxiety), and what sexual conservatism vs. sexual progressivism actually looks like on campuses, in school boards, and in our bedrooms. We talk porn as an educator (for better and worse), the relationship recession behind the “sex recession,” consent, pleasure, labels, and—most importantly—how we each build a sex life that's ours. If you're tired of other people writing rules for your body and your choices, press play. We reference Carter's new book, The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future and her reporting on Gen Z's values-driven “revolution,” not just in headlines but in real life. For more on her work, check out the Guardian feature on Gen Z and the changing rules of sex. We Cover The internet as sex ed: community, confusion, and why nuance matters Abstinence-only programs vs. reality (and risk) Relationship recession > “sex recession” (what's actually declining) Sexual conservatism vs. sexual progressivism—who's setting the rules and why Pleasure, consent, and building a script that fits you, not Instagram How to talk about sex (without dying of awkward) and fight back—locally Because at the end of the day, this isn't just a conversation about sex—it's about agency, freedom, and reclaiming power over our own stories. And if there's one thing this revolution makes clear, it's that the most radical act might simply be choosing for yourself.

My guest this week is Alma Katsu, the award-winning, critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author of nine novels. Alma has written two spy novels, "Red Widow" and "Red London," inspired by her 35-year career working in intelligence. She also writes novels that combine historical fiction with supernatural and horror elements."The Hunger" was a re-imagining of the story of the Donner Party and named one of NPR's 100 favorite horror stories. Her first book, "The Taker," was named one of the top 10 debut novels of 2011 by Booklist.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya sits down with Austin Davis, a visionary leader in teenage behavioral health and addiction recovery. With over 15 years of experience guiding teens and families through crisis and healing, Austin shares how true transformation begins not with control—but with unlearning, patience, and compassion. Together, they explore the hidden emotional labor of parents, the dangerous myths around teen binge drinking, and how shifting from “fixing” to “supporting” can change a child's future. Austin's insights reveal why healing is a process of redefining success—from numbers and milestones to human connection and emotional awareness. This is an honest, heart-centered dialogue on breaking cycles, building emotional resilience, and helping teens rediscover who they are beyond their pain.   About the Guest — Austin Davis  : Austin Davis is a behavioral health leader and addiction treatment specialist with over 15 years of experience transforming the lives of teens and families. As the founder and visionary behind a renowned adolescent recovery program, Austin focuses on creating new legacies—empowering young people to rebuild their self-worth, emotional awareness, and relationships. His work bridges science, psychology, and compassion to reimagine what successful recovery truly looks like.   Key Takeaways:   Healing is not about control—it's about patience, presence, and partnership. Parents must unlearn the instinct to “fix” their children and instead create safe, supportive spaces for healing. Success in recovery isn't just about numbers—it's about paradigm shifts in how teens see themselves and the world. Teen binge drinking is not just a phase; it's often a symptom of deeper anxiety, trauma, or identity struggles. Open, Socratic-style conversations help parents build trust and prevent crises before they escalate. Community identity matters—sports, music, and service groups provide healthy belonging that social media cannot replace. Every small act of listening and empathy can redirect a teen's life trajectory by even “one degree.”   Connect with Austin Davis   To learn more about Austin's work in teen behavioral health and addiction recovery, connect with him through his organization's website or LinkedIn profile.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearforkacademy/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

Have you ever found yourself snapping at someone for no real reason? Something small just agitates you and you overreact. Someone cuts you off in traffic. Or jumps the line in the grocery store. Under normal circumstances, you'd just let it go. But lately, these incidents are lighting a fire inside, taking you from 0-10 in 0.03 seconds. Deep down, you know the problem isn't the person cutting you off on the road or at the store. The problem is that your chronic state of overwhelm is taking over your life. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Today, Ginni Saraswati welcomes self-care expert Erica Diamond. As a Certified Life and Career Coach and Certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher, she helps women transform their lives of overwhelm by incorporating calming lifestyle habits to create balance and harmony.   You'll hear how Erica's entrepreneurial success led her on the path to burnout, and how she turned it around starting with small, practical wins. You'll learn how we're culturally indoctrinated to accept to chronic stress, and how you can use mindfulness to unlearn behaviors and reverse the cycle. You'll also learn a few simple exercises that will help you find calm right now, and whenever you need it in the moment.  What You'll Learn: The physical symptoms of burnout (0:53) The biggest mistake women make when it comes to overwhelm (4:15) Unlearning behaviors and focusing on small wins (5:24) How we're shamed into self-care (9:17)  Finding balance between what enriches us and what feels challenging (11:17) Connect with Erica Diamond: Website: https://ericadiamond.com/ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ericadiamond/?hl=en Connect with Ginni: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginnisaraswati Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theginnishow/?hl=en Website: www.ginnimedia.com

In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Kien Vuu, a physician and longevity expert who once chased external validation through academic achievement and medical success before realizing it was costing him his health. We talk about the lessons he had to unlearn, from the myth that worthiness comes from achievement to the belief that medicine exists only outside of ourselves. He shares how choosing intentional energy, gratitude, and connection can transform health at the cellular level and unlock human potential. We also explore the emotional expense of unaligned priorities and why community may be the most powerful medicine of all.

Can sleep help us unlearn biases and make our memories more positive?Implicit biases are unconscious stereotypes that influence our judgments and decisions - like assuming a particular gender for a specific job role. But what if we could change these biases?In this episode, we explore how manipulations of sleep might help reshape our implicit attitudes. We speak with Professor Xiaoqing Hu, a leading researcher in the use of Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) during sleep to alter implicit bias and make memories more positive. Xiaoqing shares his journey of applying Implicit Association Tasks (IATs) to sleep research, and how conflict biases, congruent vs. incongruent data, and task design play a role in measuring and modifying bias.We also dive into the nitty gritty of memory consolidation in sleep — examining how REM and NREM stages contribute to emotional memory consolidation, and how recency vs. saliency affects which memories get updated.Prof. Hu discusses his groundbreaking study demonstrating the ability to update unwanted emotional memories during sleep, and we explore the potential for applying this research to clinical populations. We also consider how individual schemas might influence the effectiveness of TMR across different people.If you would like to find out more about Prof. Hu's work, please see the lab website here.

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the pervasive issue of anxiety, sharing her personal experiences and insights gained from working with patients over the years. She emphasizes that anxiety is not a character flaw but a learned brain pattern that can be unlearned through understanding and practical strategies. The conversation covers the science behind anxiety, the importance of emotional expression, and actionable steps to engage with life despite anxiety. Ali encourages listeners to practice self-compassion and to view anxiety as a protective mechanism rather than a debilitating condition. Takeaways Anxiety manifests differently for everyone, both physically and mentally. Understanding anxiety as a learned behavior can empower individuals to change their responses. Neuroplasticity allows us to unlearn anxiety and create new brain pathways. Labeling anxiety as a false alarm can help diffuse its power. Allowing feelings of anxiety without resistance is crucial for healing. Engaging in life despite anxiety is essential for personal growth. Emotional expression is key to processing underlying feelings that contribute to anxiety. Self-compassion is vital in the journey of overcoming anxiety. Avoidant behaviors reinforce anxiety; facing fears is necessary for progress. Practicing small steps towards facing anxiety can lead to significant changes.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Richard Tierney, founder of Tierney Therapy and creator of Trauma Recovery Anonymous, about reframing childhood trauma and releasing the grip of painful memories in the present. Richard outlines a cause-and-effect view of trauma, a focused “give the past back” process, and a 12-step framework to unlearn survival behaviors. The conversation is direct, challenges common assumptions about lifelong treatment models, and offers pragmatic language people can use to separate their current identity from earlier experiences—without minimizing the reality of what happened. This summary is optimized for search across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. About the Guest  : Richard Tierney is a trauma recovery coach and author of How to Live Stress and Anxiety-Free 24 Hours a Day. His work centers on teaching families to interpret emotions as survival signals and to practice simple, repeatable actions that restore safety, agency, and spiritual alignment Key Takeaways :   Trauma expresses as effects (anxiety, flashbacks, shutdown), but healing requires addressing the cause—not only chasing symptoms. Separating present identity from past experiences can reduce shame and hopelessness; you are not the same person who endured the event. A structured process to “return” the weight of the past to your younger self can create a felt sense of relief and closure. Unlearning survival behaviors is a skill set: boundaries, regulation, safe relationships, and daily practices that reinforce safety now. Hope is practical: short, repeatable steps done consistently (journaling, mentoring/sponsorship, peer groups) compound change. Language matters: shifting from “I am broken” to “I carried what I didn't need to” reframes agency and next actions. Connection heals: finding a values-aligned “tribe” reduces isolation and supports behavior change. Spiritual or values-based practices can help with meaning-making; choose approaches that respect your beliefs and clinical guidance. If you use or stop medications, do so only with licensed medical supervision; abrupt changes can be dangerous. For children and teens, developmentally appropriate support and safe caregivers are critical; avoid labeling feelings as pathology without professional assessment.   Medical Disclaimer: The content in this episode is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

My guest this time is Nicky Denson-Elliott – serial entrepreneur, founder of the Wilder Collective and host of the Women's Business podcast. Nicky is focused on elevating female founders and redefining success beyond conventional hustle culture.   We explore the realities of building businesses as women plus the latest research behind internalized misogyny (the internal dialogue and conditioning that influences how women value their work and themselves). Join us as we take a tour through Nicky's career pivots, from launching an events business to starting a unisex kids' clothing brand during the pandemic, to launching her own podcast and the birth of The Wilder Collective.

Today's episode is for the part of you that's tired of always being on edge… of constantly anticipating the worst… of calling it "preparedness" when it's really just fear wearing a mask. 

Can we take just a couple of minutes to talk about fear on this episode of The Podcast? This isn't on the list of anyone's favorite topics, but it is something we all have to confront. Check out the video version of this episode.  I shared a whole series of messages called “Do Not Be Afraid” which you can check out here.

This is a preview of a premium episode. To hear the full episode, head to our Substack: ⁠https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/astro-teller-and-ivo-stivoric-why⁠ When a company talks about taking a “moonshot,” it often ends up being something trivial: a new emoji keyboard, or delivering a pizza in less than 30 minutes. But at X, the Moonshot Factory, which is part of Google, they're tackling some of the world's thorniest problems: sustainably feeding the world's population, climate change, education, and much more. Today we're speaking with Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, and Ivo Stivoric, Vice President at X. Astro has a PhD in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon and wrote a prophetic 1997 novel about AI called Exegesis. He's the grandson of Edward Teller of Manhattan Project fame, but his own legacy is built on creating protected spaces where multidisciplinary teams can tackle humanity's biggest challenges—from self-driving cars to internet access delivered by balloons. Ivo leads a portfolio focused on climate, sustainability, and social justice. A designer by training who cut his teeth in the early days of wearable computing at Carnegie Mellon's Engineering Design Research Center, Ivo brings a unique perspective on bridging human needs with breakthrough technology. Together with Astro, he co-founded BodyMedia, one of the pioneering companies in wearable health monitors, which was later acquired by Jawbone. We chat with Astro and Ivo about how they've maintained one of tech's longest creative partnerships, why moonshots require unlearning everything you know about building products, and how they're using their "moonshot factory" push the boundaries of what's possible when you combine emerging technology with empathy for human needs.

In this episode, we're diving into the powerful ways our beliefs, stories, and emotions shape our lives and businesses. Stories are more than just events; they're teachers that guide how we learn, grow, and see ourselves in the world. Yet sometimes the narratives we've inherited—especially around money, success, and what's possible—leave us feeling small, bitter, and even powerless.    Unlearning these old, restrictive stories isn't always easy, but being acknowledged for the truth of who we are—and choosing to write new stories—opens us to feeling deeply connected to our purpose, our community, and the flow of abundance. From that place, we can step into a more prosperous way of living and leading.    In today's solo episode, I share:    - How stories shape the way we learn, grow, and connect with deeper wisdom.  - Why letting go of limiting beliefs is so challenging—and why it's the key to empowerment.  - The ways women are often guided by societal rules that restrict financial freedom.  - Why embracing emotions transforms them into a powerful force in both business and life.    Sign up for my very popular program the Art of Money Magic today: https://juliefoucht.com/artofmoney/       Subscribe now so you'll never miss an episode and leave us a review!

Jason grew up in a Korean American home, shaped early by Jehovah's Witness teachings and a deep fear of dying without God. As a teen he encountered the love of Jesus at a youth retreat, then years later, in the middle of a college party, Jesus met him again and broke chains of drugs, shame, and depression. Jason was then called into ministry and now pastors youth, witnessing healing, deliverance, and revival. This is a story of the Father's heart, and the God who would rather be with us in our mess than without us at all.Listen on Podcast Spotify Podcast ⇨ https://spoti.fi/3RBKdq3Apple Podcast ⇨ https://apple.co/3evzCuuConnect with ushttps://www.facebook.com/delafetestimonieshttps://www.instagram.com/delafetestimonies/Connect with JasonEmail ⇨ pastorjason@hopemd.churchWebsite ⇨ https://www.gracereformationministry.org/Church Website ⇨ https://hopemd.church/Credits:Testimony by Jason ChoiDirected by Eric Villatoro Interviewed by Eric Villatoro Edited By Darvin RamirezAudio Mixed by Paul Nicholas Testimony Recorded in Gaithersburg, MarylandDelafé Testimonies is a global evangelistic project with the mission of creating the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies until His return. Chapters00:00 Introduction00:21 Going to Kingdom Hall as a Child02:12 Wrestling with the Concept of Eternity as a Child04:02 Encountering the Love of God at a Youth Retreat07:42 Fighting, Drugs, and Partying12:15 Trying to Serve God in My Own Strength15:00 The Bottom Falls Out (or Trying to Quit Ministry)18:06 Encountering God Again at Another Youth Retreat25:07 Still Wrestling with Doubt (or Still Doubting God's Love)28:48 Hearing God's Voice at a College Party32:43 Growing in Friendship with Jesus37:43 Moving in God's Power as a Youth Pastor40:58 What the Last 15 Years Have Been Like44:37 Unlearning what the Jehovahs Witnesses Taught Me47:26 Who is Jesus To You?48:06 Prayer50:31 Final WordsI Couldn't Believe that GOD Loved Me Until I Heard Him Say THIS...
