In this conversation, Stella Rae and entrepreneur Bradley Rausch explore the intricate relationship between anxiety and success. Bradley shares his personal journey of overcoming anxiety, emphasizing the importance of understanding the fight or flight response and the need to surrender to feelings rather than fight or flee from them. They discuss practical strategies for reframing past experiences and managing future anxiety, highlighting the significance of self-awareness and emotional regulation in personal growth.

My guest today is Dr. Alex Korb, author of the book Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time.Dr. Korb is a neuroscientist, writer, and coach. He has studied the brain for over 20 years, having earned his undergraduate degree in neuroscience at Brown University and then later completed his Ph.D. in neuroscience at UCLA. He has published over a dozen peer-reviewed journal articles on depression, neuromodulation, and other topics. He is currently an adjunct assistant professor at UCLA in the department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences. Outside of the lab he writes a popular blog on how the tendencies of your brain can ruin or enrich your life. As a speaker he educates, motivates, and inspires organizations to understand the neuroscience of wellbeing and put it into practice. As a consultant he works with companies and organizations to help them improve communication about neuroscience and enhance employee wellbeing. He has coached the UCLA Women's Ultimate Frisbee team for over 15 years and is a 3 time award winner for USA Ultimate's Coach of the Year. His expertise extends into leadership and motivation, mindfulness, physical fitness, and even stand-up comedy.I first heard about Dr. Korb's book through another podcast guest, Linda Hoopes.  The name of the book, Upward Spiral, immediately grabbed my attention and within a couple of days I was reading it.  Upward Spiral has two parts to it: the first is a description of what is understood about the neuroscience of depression (written in a language that's mostly understandable for the lay person like myself) and the second is focused on actions we can take to lessen the negative impacts of depression in our lives and how each of those actions cause changes in the brain.  I love that combination as I find it gives me greater motivation to know the why behind recommended behavior changes!I'm delighted to share this conversation with you and hope it'll be as inspiring to you as it has been for me.  There are links in the shownotes to Dr. Korb's website and the book Upward Spiral.Dr. Korb – thank you for this fantastic and motivating conversation.  Thank you for the work you do in the world and for sharing it in a way that's understandable and applicable for all of us who aren't neuroscientists but who want to help our brain be in its best functioning state!Website: https://www.alexkorbphd.comBook: Upward Spiral Make Life Less Difficult

Did you know feelings like worry are our brains' way of protecting us? However, they can become problematic when they trigger repetitive negative thoughts.  In this episode, Matt O'Neill interviews neuroscientist Alex Korb to discuss how common emotions like worry, anxiety, anger, and self-criticism are natural brain functions, not personal failings.  Learn simple strategies – backed by neuroscience – to improve mood and happiness. Understand why our brains experience these emotions and learn how you can manage them through mindfulness instead of judgment. This episode will leave you feeling empowered rather than critical of yourself.  Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:  Why the brain experiences emotions like worry and self-criticism  Understanding different brain wiring and personality traits Managing emotions through mindfulness and self-compassion The importance of exercise, sleep, gratitude, and taking action [03:22] The Purpose of Worry and Self-Criticism Worry evolved as a brain mechanism to avoid threats by thinking through problems and solutions, utilizing the prefrontal cortex similarly to playing chess. The amygdala provides emotions like anxiety to motivate protection. Therefore, feelings such as worry and self-criticism stem naturally from how our brains are formed for survival purposes, rather than being inherently negative traits. [07:29] Unique Brain Wiring and the Value of Self-Acceptance We all think and act differently based on natural variations. Instead of stressing over what you can't change, focus on your strengths and what really matters to you. If something gets in your way, look at tweaking your approach rather than feeling stuck with who you are.  [20:40] The Power of Emotion Labeling and Self-Compassion Simply stating your emotion, like "I'm feeling angry", lets the prefrontal cortex regulate the amygdala. Labeling emotions mindfully while showing self-compassion, not judgment, replaces unhelpful rumination or avoidance with healthy emotional processing. This optimizes the brain's natural regulation abilities. [29:00] Simple Habits for a Happier Brain Alex highlights exercise, quality sleep, gratitude, and taking action as important daily habits for brain health and happiness. Small amounts of activity, optimized sleep, focusing on positives through gratitude, and controlling what's within our power can make a big impact per neuroscience. Notable quotes: [05:59] Worry in itself isn't a problem. Obsessively worrying is a problem. [06:13] [17:46] You can't necessarily inherently change your brain's automatic reactivity. [17:54] [18:17] Having a brain that is emotionally reactive is not a bad thing. What makes it a bad thing is the habits that you've programmed into it that are automatically triggered.

Those moments that knock you off course, and then it's all downhill from there?  We all have our triggers that can set things in motion... what we don't always realize is the spiral can be traveled in two different directions.  In this episode we're going to talk about spiraling up, not down, and how understanding the spiral nature of our own growth can help us live with more compassion for ourselves and others. 

In this episode, Theresa and Ivana discussed:The rhythm of pivots A journey of growth Giving yourself unconditional loveGoing up an upward spiral Key Takeaways:Splatting can happen in every pivot and in those moments, you'll have to pick yourself back up and get moving. Gratitude is powerful and it can get you through the feeling of discomfort after each pivot. Harness your adversity. Embrace the discomfort and build resilience. Acknowledge that your life is a journey of growth. If you give yourself the same kind of unconditional love that you give to people who matter to you, then you'll become a happier and generally better person. Accessing this connection to yourself will also help you connect with other people genuinely. Embrace what you went through and embrace who you are and who you've become because of what you went through. See the bigger picture and know that the journey is an upward spiral. When walking through a transition, it may feel like you're going backward. “If [my son] is worthy of love, for no reason, whether he is failing or succeeding, that just does not determine his inherent worth then that might also be true for me.” - Ivana PolonijoConnect with Theresa and Ivana:Websites:Theresa, True Strategy Consultants: https://tsc-consultants.com/ Ivana, Courageous Being: https://www.courageousbeing.com/ Instagram:Ivana: https://www.instagram.com/courbeing/ Theresa: https://www.instagram.com/tscconsultants/ LinkedIn: Step into the Pivot: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/step-into-the-pivot/ Theresa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tree-conti/ Ivana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivipol/

Welcome to the first episode of our new season! 

"Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time"

We've talked about the downward spiral in previous episodes. You know, that moment when you make a mistake, can't get out of your own head, and then the wheels fall off. We've all been there. What if you flipped that concept and started building on the little things you are doing right? This episode was inspired by a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett. He and his guest, Daniel Priestly, talked about the upward spiral and how it had the power to compound your success.  We discuss the power of intention, mindset, embracing the learning process, and celebrating the small wins, no matter what color your belt. (00:00) What is the upward spiral? (01:44) The power of intention (06:12) Finding the small victories and celebrating them (10:06) Magic in the art of distraction (18:37) The power of affirmations and a positive mindset   If you Love the Podcast, Share it with a Friend!

In this new episode of the Future of Psychiatry podcast, hosted by Dr. Bassi, and featuring special guest Dr. Alex Korb, a seasoned neuroscientist, author, and coach with more than 15 years of dedicated research in the field. They delve into the fascinating world of mental health neuroscience, particularly focusing on depression and anxiety. This engaging conversation explores the significance of harnessing our emotions as valuable tools rather than obstacles. Topics span from the perils of overthinking to the therapeutic role of humor in mental well-being. Additionally, they discuss how our innate brain tendencies can either drive or hinder our motivation. Dr. Alex emphasizes the transformative potential of acceptance, self-compassion, and lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise in effectively managing mental health challenges. He also underscores the importance of distinguishing between what we can control and what we cannot to optimize our responses.Host: Bruce Bassi MDMore resources, including a full transcript, can be found at our podcast website: https://www.telepsychhealth.com/futurepsychiatrypodcast/We are always looking to grow and learn more about the field of tech and mental health.

In this episode I'm bringing back Dr. Alex Korb to talk nerdy about the neuroscience of goal setting and goal achieving. In this conversation, we're diving into what's happening in your brain when you set goals, what gets in the way of actually achieving them, how to follow through when the initial burst of motivating fades, and how you can leverage neuroscience to set realistic goals that actually stick and that you are more equipped to follow through on. Dr. Alex Korb is a neuroscientist, coach, and bestselling author of The Upward Spiral. Dr. Korb has PhD in neuroscience and is an adjunct assistant professor at UCLA. He is also the founder of The Upward Spiral Method where he helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs and professionals conquer unnecessary overthinking, stress, and self-doubt. Dr. Korb has a wealth of experience in yoga and mindfulness, physical fitness, and even stand up comedy- which I think you'll see is evident in this episode.

Back to school articles and tips are everywhere this time of year - with great ideas for helping your child or teen navigate the start of the school year to set them up for success. But when mental health needs are in the mix, some of these tips may sound impossible to approach, let alone put into practice. Organizational tips that make sense for many children and families may not be accessible to students and/or parents living with ADHD. Or sleep habit building may be a persistent challenge despite best efforts for a child or teen with an anxiety or mood disorder. Modifying standard suggestions, avoiding judgment when the suggestions don't work, and getting help can redirect toward more successful outcomes. In this episode, Jo-Ann and Candida focus on sleep and organization as two key areas for skill building to support school success, Accessing enough sleep requires that students and families build sleep-supporting habits but it can also require pushing back on systems and expectations such as early school start times that interfere with sleep no matter what habits families are working on. Tips for organization are helpful - and also can be hard to implement. Meeting a student (and family) where they are and making small changes can make a difference when needs such as ADHD are present. The good feelings that come from achieving small change can be part of an upward spiral in which feelings of reward and satisfaction help maintain the new skills. The Upward Spiral is the title of a book by Alex Korb PhD that brings the neuroscience of small positive changes into recovery from depression. And this neuroscience framework applies to building new habits for organization as well. Most importantly - bad days will happen. Poor sleep, forgotten homework or lunches, getting to school late -sometimes all in one day - will occur and it's critical to give ourselves and our kids grace and compassion. Recovering and re-approaching the tasks comes more easily when there isn't a negative spiral into shame and judgment. Tears and big feelings will happen - and then they will settle down and there is a chance to re-evaluate and try again. Resources mentioned in this episode.

It leads to unworthiness and is a dangerous trap to fall into especially with social media. For Craig, he has a very intentional relationship with social media. He knew it was a great vehicle to extend reach, make an impact, and share content. Throughout his journey, he would see people a little bit further ahead and it made him feel some type of way for a second. But ultimately, he realized that these people are on Chapter 9 while he's on Chapter 2. Now, he's only competing with who he was yesterday. In his words, “marry the process, divorce the outcome”.Eulogy ExerciseThe eulogy exercise is where you pretend that two weeks for now, you'll be gone from this world and people are gathering around at your funeral.

Today we're talking nerdy about the neuroscience of habit formation- and not just behavioral habits like reaching for your phone first thing in the morning or eating a cookie every time you feel sad, but also cognitive habits and patterns of thinking, like why you might get stuck in the habit of using self-criticism as a form of motivation. In this conversation with Dr. Alex Korb, we dive into why your brain creates and sustains habits-even when they suck-and what it actually takes to rewire your brain for habits of thinking and behavior that are more helpful. Dr. Alex Korb is a neuroscientist, coach, and bestselling author of The Upward Spiral. Dr. Korb has PhD in neuroscience and is an adjunct assistant professor at UCLA.

He is the founder of The Upward Spiral Method where he helps smart, passionate professionals conquer unnecessary overthinking, stress, and self-doubt to unleash the brain's potential for passion, productivity, and purpose. Dr. Korb has a wealth of experience in yoga and mindfulness, physical fitness, and even stand-up comedy. Insights Alex: All we need to do is one small step. It doesn't have to fix everything, it just has to be better than the default of the downward spiral your brain wants to go in. Dave: A little small win can help create an upward spiral for our relationships. Liz: Understanding why something is good for me rather than being told what to do gets my attention Invites:    •    To get out of a mental rut, take a little step to break out of your brain's default of negative habits. Try going for a walk, stepping outside in the sun, or even standing up for a few seconds.   •    Expressing gratitude and kindness is something in your control. Write down a few things you may take for granted but are grateful for nonetheless. Doing so tells your brain to focus more on the good rather on the negative.   •    You can't always control your feelings, but you can control your actions. Take action by saying thank you to someone that influenced you in some way, even if it was a few days, weeks, or years ago. Gratitude does not have an expiration date. In fact, it tends to have even greater weight and mean more to the receiver over time.

Neuroscientist Alex Korb teaches how to live our lives in an Upward Spiral. We've all experienced a downward spiral. An upward spiral is linking positive actions together to the point where life keeps getting better and better. Things like petting a dog, physical activity, quality sleep, and creating a daily gratitude practice are just some of the ways you can start moving in an upward spiral. Listen in as Matt and Alex discuss the neuroscience of feeling good. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The power of doing the things you enjoy Examples of things that change the reward circuit of the brain How our dog friends can help reduce our stress hormones The power of quality sleep Activating the gratitude circuit [08:58] The Power of Doing the Things You Enjoy When you're struggling, the best place to start is to do the things you enjoy. For instance, oftentimes, using the term “exercise” can suck all the fun out of it because now, it feels forced. Instead, just start moving your body and make sure you're enjoying whatever physical activity you're doing. When you start doing things that you enjoy, you begin to modulate circuits like dopamine and serotonin, which help overcome momentary distress or stress. [16:50] The Power of Rest If you can improve the quality of your sleep, you don't even need to get more of it. It's actually better to get a shorter amount of quality sleep than eight or nine hours of low-quality sleep. And so, it doesn't have to take more time. Getting enough quality sleep improves your mood, overrides bad habits, and increases your ability to focus. [26:47] Activating the Gratitude Circuit Research shows that practicing gratitude, such as writing a gratitude journal, improves the quality of your sleep, and also reduces anxiety. Stop looking for the one big solution that's going to fix everything. Instead of spending five minutes before bed playing games on your phone, write a gratitude journal. Notable quotes: [12:31] When you start doing things that you enjoy, the motivation is coming from within you. It's a choice. [12:38] [19:58] Getting enough quality sleep improves your mood. It helps you override bad habits and it increases your ability to focus. [20:09] [28:40] Stop looking for the one big solution that's going to fix everything. Just make one tiny change that's better than the default.

How do you feel when a coaching contract or client relationship ends? Do you have a process for a smooth transition that benefits everyone? In this episode, Melinda talks with executive business coach Miriam Meima about successfully offboarding clients.

A human being is born into stunning promise. We incarnate with staggering potential. We are hardwired into a higher destiny. Then, after birth, most of us receive damaging programming. We are taught to fear, lack, doubt and smother our gifts, hopes and dreams. We begin to believe we are nobodies. Yet, we do possess the power to rewrite the script. And—thus—change the game. It can start in a moment. With a single choice. An awakening of sorts. With a decision to rise.If you're seeking some strong inspiration to grow your business and self—along with some novel tools to win—go ahead and read (or listen to) my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto.
