On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we're exploring how we're all "meaning-making machines.”We dive into how basically, our brains are constantly trying to make sense of everything and everyone that happens to us. I break down how we both consciously and subconsciously assign meaning to events, experiences, and environments, and often with a negative spin - thanks to our brain's built-in negativity bias.I also share some powerful insights from Viktor Frankl, a neurologist, psychologist, and Holocaust survivor who taught and wrote in his book - Man's Search for Meaning - that finding meaning can help us survive anything. Something that I've learned over the years? We actually have a choice in how we choose to interpret our experiences.We can choose to see things through a lens of love or fear, and that choice can totally transform our perspective. But here's the crucial part - while we get to choose the meaning for our own lives…We can't and shouldn't decide the meaning for other people's experiences. Telling someone, "Everything happens for a reason" when they're grieving or suffering isn't helpful - it's dismissive. Sometimes things just don't make sense, ​no matter how hard we try to figure it out, or want to make meaning of it. So, I encourage us all to be aware of the stories you're telling yourself, choose a perspective that empowers you, and remember that you don't have to or may not be able to understand everything.Sometimes the mystery is part of the journey.If we can “work with what happens”, find our joy, and keep moving forward… we can gradually, but inevitable turn our stories into our glory! ❤️ KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:•​ Humans are naturally wired to assign meaning to their experiences, often subconsciously and with a tendency towards negativity.•​ We have the power to choose how we interpret the events of our lives.•​ Viktor Frankl's philosophy teaches that finding meaning can help us survive almost anything, even in the most challenging circumstances.•​ Our brain's meaning-making process is a survival mechanism that helps us feel safer by trying to make sense of our experiences.•​ While we can control the meaning we assign to our own life, we cannot and should not dictate meaning for others people's experiences.•​ Saying things like "Everything happens for a reason") - can be harmful and dismissive of genuine suffering.•​ Some experiences will never make sense. Sometimes, acceptance is part of the healing process.•​ Shifting our perspective from "This happened to me" to "This happened for me" can be helpful and transformative, but this shift must come naturally from within and not be forced.•​ Our meaning-making ability is a skill we can develop, improve and update, by gaining new insights, experiences, and personal growth.BIO:Spiritual mentor and writer Karen Kenney uses humor and dynamic storytelling to bring a down-to-earth, no-BS perspective to self-development Bringing together tools that coach the conscious and unconscious mind, Karen helps clients deepen their connections with Self, and discover their unique understandings of spirituality.

I have been sitting with a lot of emotions, like many of you, I am sure. The state of the world right now is heavy, overwhelming and a bit surreal. Before we dive into today's topic, I wanted to share some thoughts on that, because pretending everything is “normal” just doesn't feel right. Times are tough right now and this tells me that the work I do in the world is important. The work I do, the tools and my coaching, combine to help you not get pulled under by the weight of everything happening in the USA and the world right now.  Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychologist, philosopher and Holocaust survivor. I can't help but think of his words right now, as what we are experiencing feels similar. Viktor taught us that no one can take away the way we think and our attitude about our life. When I think of the unimaginable horror that he lived through, and millions of others, his words give me hope and a reminder to make sure we tend to your mind and heart.  And THIS is the reason I will continue doing my work, even though times feel very heavy. And then, once we have grounded in that reality, I want to take us somewhere deeper, into the heart of self confidence. Not the kind that is all surface level pep talk, but the real kind. The kind that grows quietly from trusting yourself and having your own back, no matter what is happening outside of you. I also want to introduce you to, or remind you, of one of my favorite coaching tools. I am going to walk you through my thought model, a tool to help you see how your thoughts create your life. I know it is much more complicated than that, but, let's start there. I can and will help you learn to manage your mind and heart, Wildflower. This is what I do. I would love to work with you and help you through these times.  Reach out via my website or email me amy@amyloganlife.com

Byron & Francine Pirola say using Viktor Frankl's principle of overestimating people's potential can benefit a marriage. They explore Viktor Frankl's idea that overestimating people— taking them "as they should be" rather than as they are—helps them become capable of reaching their full potential

What if the most resilient people aren't the ones who bounce back quickly—but those who allow themselves to break, feel, grieve, and still move forward?In this heartfelt episode, we explore tragic optimism—a powerful reframe introduced by Viktor Frankl—and how it allows us to hold both pain and hope without bypassing either. You'll learn how real resilience comes not from fixing or rushing, but from the ability to live with the full truth of what is and keep going anyway.We'll explore:• Why “bouncing back” is a cultural myth• What tragic optimism really means (and what it's not)• The nervous system's role in resilience and meaning-making• The 3 Ps of pessimism—and how to unlearn them• Practical tools to regulate your body, reframe your thoughts, and hold space for grief and growth at onceThis is your invitation to stop striving to return to “how things used to be”—and instead, build capacity to bounce forward with wisdom, gentleness, and courage.Timestamps:00:00 – Resilient people aren't the fastest to recover06:55 – When Breath Becomes Air & the phrase “devastatingly beautiful”10:14 – What tragic optimism really means (Viktor Frankl)13:05 – Why it's not toxic positivity (Brad Stulberg's take)15:15 – Introducing learned optimism (Martin Seligman)17:32 – The 3 Ps of pessimism and how to flip them20:18 – Why your nervous system must feel safe before optimism is possible23:12 – You can't access nuance from a dysregulated state25:50 – The nervous system's role in meaning-making28:36 – Post-traumatic growth: Making meaning, not finding it31:45 – What it means to hold both pain and hope33:58 – How to actually practice tragic optimism36:10 – Step 1: Reframe with “both/and” language37:15 – Step 2: Befriend your nervous system, not fight it38:48 – Step 3: Hold space for others with “Tell me more”40:10 – What resilience really looks like: bouncing forward41:50 – Why regulating isn't about avoiding pain—it's about holding it43:30 – Final thoughts: You can be devastatingly beautiful too

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with Dustin Diefenderfer, founder of Mountain Tough, for a raw conversation on mental toughness, grief, and the illusion of control. They reflect on Viktor Frankl's philosophy, the spiritual fallout of tragedy, and the struggle to find meaning after unimaginable loss. Mason opens up about life after losing his wife, kids, brother, and nephew, and how helping others, talking honestly, and embracing vulnerability has been key to survival. This is a deeply emotional and unfiltered episode about suffering, acceptance, and showing up for the life that's still here.

In this powerful and emotionally rich episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis shift the focus from trauma to transformation. While past episodes have explored the symptoms of post-traumatic stress following betrayal, this conversation is all about post-traumatic growth—the process of finding meaning, strength, and purpose through adversity. MaryAnn shares her personal journey from betrayal and pain to advocacy and healing, culminating in a major Supreme Court ruling protecting children online—an experience that represents a full-circle moment in her growth process. The discussion weaves in key psychological theories, including Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, and Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, all while grounding the conversation in the realities of lived experience. Listeners will be inspired to see their own hardships not as dead ends but as turning points—opportunities to grow, to give back, and to reclaim a sense of self and connection. Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory Developed by Richard Tedeschi & Lawrence Calhoun to measure personal growth following trauma.

Jessica and Darren Salquist invite you to rewire your thinking in this episode. That is where it all starts. You first. Be the HERO you can be, for YOU.In this powerful conversation, we dive into the science of neuroplasticity—your brain's natural ability to change and adapt through intentional focus, emotion, and repetition. By shifting your mindset and becoming aware of negative thought patterns, you can reshape your reality, strengthen your confidence, and build habits that align with the life you truly want.Drawing on insights from Dr. Joe Dispenza and Viktor Frankl, we explore how your thoughts influence your future and how your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between imagined and actual experiences. That means your self-talk, your visualizations, and your affirmations all play a direct role in shaping your brain—and your outcomes.We'll guide you through simple but powerful practices like meditation, visualization, and daily affirmations to help you unlock new cognitive pathways. Embrace the discomfort, challenge your limitations, and create a new mental blueprint that supports growth, healing, and purpose.

Pour finir la cinquième saison en beauté, je crois que je ne pouvais pas espérer plus à propos que l'épisode que vous allez découvrir. En effet, bien que toujours trop court, je trouve que l'été nous offre malgré un temps long réparateur. L'esprit alléger par la luminosité et la douceur de vivre, on se prête davantage à penser. C'est aussi le moment de faire le point sur l'année écoulée et là arrive les nombreuses questions. Mais j'en ai une essentielle pour vous : est-ce que vous vous posez les bonnes ? Celles parfois inconfortables, celles qui remuent mais aussi celles qui font avancer d'un coup ? Il ya quelques semaines, j'ai rencontré Emilie Briand, fondatrice de Maison de Sens, coach et thérapeute spécialisée dans les questions de sens et quelle rencontre ! Après une prospère carrière dans les médias, Emilie s'est tournée vers la logothérapie, une psychothérapie considérée comme la troisième école viennoise centrée sur le besoin de sens contrairement à la psychanalyse freudienne qui est tournée sur le principe du plaisir. Dans la foulée, Emilie a ouvert le Mas des Prêcheurs un lieu extraordinaire avec son mari à Tarascon, non loin d'Avignon où l'on peut venir en villégiature ou suivre des retraites sur des thématiques précises comme le burn out, le post-partum mais pas que. J'ai eu la chance d'y passer une nuit et, bien que le chemin intérieur soi long et tortueux, je vais vous faire une confidence : je ne me suis jamais sentie aussi alignée que grâce à ces questions amenées par Emilie. Evidemment c'est un travail du quotidien car je replonge régulièrement dans le doute MAIS j'ai pu observer que ma pensée se recentrait mieux. Je ne vous en dis pas plus et préfère vous laisser avec Emilie, vous y entendrez quelques exemples de questions à vous appropriez si vous le souhaitez. Bonne écoute !Hébergé par Ausha.

In this special in-person episode, Travis Goodman and Pierre Azzam sit down for a raw, honest conversation about purpose—what it really means, why it's so easy to feel disconnected from it, and how community plays a crucial role in helping men discover it.Together, they explore why so many men struggle to find clarity around purpose in today's world—and how trying to do it alone often leads to burnout, confusion, or isolation. Drawing from Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and their own work with men, Travis and Pierre emphasize that purpose isn't just a personal quest—it's relational. Real meaning is forged in connection, service, and shared values.You'll also hear a breakdown of the 5 Ps of Purpose—a practical framework we use in The Men's Collective to help men move from abstract goals to grounded daily action.Key takeaways: Why clarity of purpose often requires community, not just introspection How ego and isolation get in the way of meaningful progress What the 5 Ps of Purpose are and how they guide men toward real momentumWhere are you searching for purpose alone—and what might open up if you invited another man into the conversation?

In today's episode, Gina discusses the value of assuming a volunteer mindset in contrast to a victim mindset. The victim mindset is characterized by the idea that the feelings, sensations and thoughts we encounter are being done to us, and that we have no choice and no power in the matter.

This discussion explores how our perceptions of feelings, sensations, and thoughts often lead us to adopt a victim mindset, feeling as if life's challenges are acting upon us rather than being experiences we can navigate. Recognizing this mindset is the first step toward empowerment, as it often leads to feelings of helplessness, contributing to both anxiety and depression.I emphasize the importance of awareness in this journey; acknowledging that we are not inherently broken or victimized by our circumstances, but rather we have the ability to reframe our experiences. Drawing from the wisdom of Viktor Frankl, I remind listeners that true power lies in our capacity to choose. While anxiety can be consuming, it's crucial to remember that we can alter the narrative from being passive recipients of our fears to actively engaging with them as volunteers.The discussion transitions into exploring what this “volunteer” mindset entails. I encourage listeners to embrace life's challenges with courage, facing fears head-on instead of succumbing to overwhelming feelings of being victimized by life's circumstances. By accepting our situation while also acknowledging our ability to respond with strength, we allow ourselves the opportunity to extinguish the fires of anxiety rather than fuel them further.#anxiety #mindsetshift #victimtovolunteer #stressmanagement #mentalhealth #courage #powerofchoice #mindfulness #relaxation #selfhelp #personalgrowth #copingstrategies #mentalwellness #emotionalregulation #resilience #selfcompassion #innerstrength #wellbeing #livedexperienceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On episode 241, we welcome Natalia Kholodenko to discuss the psychological impact of trauma, how the citizens in war-torn countries respond to trauma, Natalia's own trauma when fleeing from Ukraine after Russia began its bombing campaign, the importance of maintaining a strong value system in the face of tragedy, Judith Herman on the importance of reintegrating one back into a community when healing, Viktor Frankl and how meaning can be lost but aids in trauma recovery, and the influence of one's mind on their well-being and future.

We often talk about strategy, technology, and profit as the engines of success. And in times of rapid change and uncertainty, it's easy to double down on those levers. But what if we're missing the most important one?In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Niren Chaudhary, former CEO of Panera Brands, joins Ashish Kothari to share a leadership philosophy rooted in something many leaders overlook: love and care for people. Because at the end of the day, companies aren't machines, they're human systems. And when we treat people like family, they show up with heart, commitment, and a desire to go above and beyond.Niren reflects on lessons from decades at Tata, Yum! Brands, and Panera, breaking down how to build cultures where values are lived, not laminated, and how leaders can turn care for people into a competitive advantage. He also opens up about how the loss of his daughter Aisha Chaudhary profoundly reshaped how he sees leadership, success, and the legacy we leave behind.What you'll also learn in this episode:• Why business is fundamentally a human-to-human experience• The leadership model that starts with love and leads to profit• How to hire for attitude and train for skill• Why success begins with the right people, doing the right things, the right way• The butterfly effect of investing in your people• Why resilience, curiosity, and generosity are non-negotiables in business and lifeThis conversation is a reminder that in business and in life, what matters most is how we show up for one another.Tune into the full episode to hear Niren's powerful stories and practical wisdom on what it really means to lead with love.Resources:• Smile A Lot by Thich Nhat Hanh: https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=168 • The Sky is Pink (Aisha Chaudhary): https://youtu.be/OnBN5b48HBc?si=_FcybEn8N_yhatF9 • Black Sunshine Baby (Aisha Chaudhary): https://youtu.be/Hkf7n7m_KgY?si=THIQQMkGNUE3_-9c • The Power of Well-being at Work by Jan-Emmanuel De Neve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4OWg12Xl5E • CORE Meditation: https://get.hyperice.com/core Books:• My Little Epiphanies by Aisha Chaudhary: https://a.co/d/2E4vtQx • Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl: https://a.co/d/2CvRJSu • How Will You Measure Your Life by Clay Chistensen: https://a.co/d/jkZPwb5 • Hardwired for Happiness by Ashish Kothari: https://a.co/d/gML83VJ

Sonny Von Cleveland: Vocalizing Our Pain to Heal | The Hopeaholics Podcast Sonny Von Cleveland—a man who turned a life marked by profound trauma into a beacon of hope and redemption. From a childhood scarred by molestation beginning at age three, a felony charge at seven, and a harrowing prison sentence at 16, Sonny's story is one of survival against unimaginable odds. He opens up about enduring a violent prison environment, including a brutal assault in his first week, and how he adopted a gang mentality to survive, only to face a pivotal moment in solitary confinement in 2004 after a drug-fueled crime spree landed him back behind bars. A mentor's persistent question—“Why are you so angry?”—sparked a 19-month transformation, teaching Sonny emotional intelligence, forgiveness, and the power of vocalizing pain through writing forgiveness letters and reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Emerging from prison in 2016 at age 35, Sonny built a music career, signed with Ferocious Records, and later pivoted to YouTube success, only to face new challenges, including betrayal and the loss of his channel. Now married to a woman he met through a podcast, Sonny runs Frisky Business, the only cat café in the Coachella Valley, and the Von Cleveland Foundation, while speaking at schools and juvenile halls to break cycles of abuse. He shares his upcoming 22-city U.S. tour, “Conversations of Redemption,” starting July 1, where he'll explore city traumas and invite people to share their stories, partnered with Operation Light Shine to combat child sex abuse material. This episode is a testament to the human spirit's resilience, showing that no matter how dark the past, healing is possible through vulnerability and purpose.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #addictionrecoverypodcast  #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on how summer offers something we rarely make time for: space. Drawing on a favorite quote from Viktor Frankl, he explores why creating margin in our days—especially in dentistry—is key to better decision-making, growth, and avoiding burnout. If you've been feeling stuck in reactive mode or craving clarity, this is your gentle reminder to pause. Take 15 minutes today to do nothing—and see what rises to the surface.

Mike "C-Roc" welcomes mindset and mental wealth coach Kaylor Betts for an unfiltered, deeply introspective conversation about personal transformation, self-awareness, and doing the hard work required to reach your highest self. Kaylor opens up about his battle with anxiety, depression, and the daily struggle to even get out of bed—a time in his life marked by unconscious decision-making and emotional pain masked by comfort-seeking behaviors. But everything changed when he had what he calls an “awakening”—a realization that he is not the stories in his mind, but the observer of those thoughts. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl, Peter Crone, and Tony Robbins, Kaylor shares how reclaiming that space between stimulus and response helped him break free from destructive patterns and take full ownership of his life. Together, Kaylor and Mike "C-Roc" explore the power of binary decision-making, the importance of aligning daily choices with long-term values, and how choosing the hard path often leads to true liberation. Raw, real, and thought-provoking, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to wake up, take control, and build a life worth getting out of bed for.Website-https://theawbiz.com/ Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/awakeandwinning/?hl=en / https://www.instagram.com/thekaylorbetts/?hl=en

En este episodio exploramos la vida y legado de Viktor Frankl, psiquiatra y sobreviviente del Holocausto, autor del influyente libro El hombre en busca de sentido. A través de su experiencia en los campos de concentración nazis, Frankl desarrolló la logoterapia, una corriente psicológica centrada en la búsqueda de sentido como motor principal de la vida humana. Reflexionamos sobre cómo su visión puede ayudarnos hoy a enfrentar el dolor, la incertidumbre y la falta de propósito. ¿Puede el sufrimiento tener un significado? ¿Y cómo encontrarlo?

Your twenties are supposed to be “the best years of your life,” right? But no one tells you how confusing, overwhelming, and straight-up weird they can be. There are things we only learn the hard way, sometimes after a few missteps, sometimes after a full-on identity crisis in a grocery store parking lot.

Déjame tu comentarioEn este episodio nos adentramos en una de las grandes preguntas éticas de nuestra época: ¿somos verdaderamente libres cuando simplemente hacemos lo que queremos? Con la ayuda de pensadores como Viktor Frankl y Fernando Savater, exploramos qué significa la libertad desde una perspectiva filosófica, espiritual y práctica. Descubrimos que la libertad auténtica no es ausencia de normas, sino la capacidad de elegir con inteligencia, responsabilidad y propósito.A través de ejemplos reales, históricos y cotidianos —desde Jesús de Nazaret hasta Rosa Parks—, reflexionamos sobre cómo nuestras decisiones construyen o destruyen nuestra humanidad. Un episodio que mezcla profundidad, claridad y toques de humor para ayudar a repensar lo que realmente significa ser libre en medio de una cultura que confunde libertad con impulso o placer inmediato.Ideal para quienes quieren vivir con más conciencia, madurez y sentido.Redes sociales: saulmarrerorivera (Facebook e Intagram)Correo electrónico: notasdefeyvida@gmail.comDirección postal: 189 Ave Las María apart 305, San Juan PR, 00927-4325Música: bensound.comAudio: youtube.com/popevideoSupport the show

Wat als je leven niet is geworden wat je hoopte? Je kreeg geen kinderen. Je relatie staat op losse schroeven. Je bent vijftig en voelt het gemis van wat had kunnen zijn. In deze aflevering beantwoorden David en Arjan een ontroerende luisteraarsvraag van Jan over levende rouw: het verdriet om onvervulde verlangens, het verlies van toekomstbeelden, en de angst om opnieuw te beginnen. Hij vraagt: Hebben jullie advies voor iemand die rouwt om onvervulde verlangens, bang is voor verlies en zoekt naar een nieuw begin in zichzelf?Hoe blijf je overeind als je droom uit elkaar valt? Hoe laat je los wat nooit werkelijkheid werd, en vind je toch richting in jezelf?Aan de hand van inzichten uit Een Cursus in Wonderen en het werk van Viktor Frankl verkennen David en Arjan:Waarom je pijn voelt om wat nooit was en hoe je daar liefdevol mee omgaat.Hoe je het verleden kunt herzien zonder jezelf te verliezen.Wat het verschil is tussen pijn en lijden en hoe je daar zelf invloed op hebt.Hoe schoonheid, waardigheid en aanwezigheid je kunnen helpen betekenis te hervinden.Luister ook en laat weten wat jou raakte.Shownotes:Leuk als je reageert op de podcast onder deze aflevering, via youtube, via onze socials, of onze Academy.❓ Stuur jouw vraag in!Onze programma's:✨ Miracle Roadmap (met speciale aanbieding voor podcast luisteraars)

This episode is me trying to figure out what it really means to belong, especially in a world that rewards performance and perfection. I talk about loneliness (the quiet kind that sneaks up on you even when you’re surrounded by people), the difference between being visible and being known, and why showing up for yourself, flaws and all, is the real act of connection. There’s some philosophy (Simone Weil, Viktor Frankl, Kierkegaard, you know… casual), some internet culture unpacking, and a Tamagotchi that desperately needs discipline in the middle of it all. If you’ve been feeling kind of off, kind of disconnected, or just want to feel a little less alone in the mess of figuring it all out: this one’s for you. Thanks for being here.

These are the team members who can drain your energy, hijack your time, and turn minor issues into major disruptions. But here's the real leadership challenge: how do you identify these individuals, and more importantly, how do you coach or course-correct them before they derail your team?Mike makes a critical distinction between drama and passion. One demands attention. The other earns it.He unpacks why some people respond with poise—what he calls “staid”—while others react like the world's ending. Drawing on wisdom from Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Mike invites you to pause, reflect, and make choices that strengthen culture rather than fracture it.You'll walk away with practical advice on how to lead these personalities—or help them find a better fit—so your PropTech and Multifamily teams can stay focused, steady, and driven by impact rather than emotion.If you're a leader in the Multifamily space, this is your playbook for protecting team culture while amplifying mission-driven momentum.Like what you heard?Hit that Like button.Smash Subscribe.And let's build better teams, together.

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like your mind is all over the place? Emails. Notifications. News. Noise. We live in a world designed to hijack our attention, and it's working. Attention Is a Superpower In a world this noisy, your ability to focus isn't just helpful. It's everything. Viktor Frankl found purpose in the darkest of places by choosing where to direct his mind. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discovered flow while surviving war by focusing on a single game of chess. Louis Zamperini endured torture by turning his attention toward faith and forgiveness. These weren't magic tricks. They were choices. Repeated. Intentional. Life-saving. What You Focus On Becomes Your Life Science backs it up. As Dr. Andrew Huberman says, “The ability to focus and direct one's attention is the distinguishing factor between those who will succeed and those who won't.” That's not just about work or goals. That's about everything. Your relationships. Your health. Your sense of self. Because attention doesn't just shape what you see. It shapes who you become. Train Your Attention Like Your Life Depends on It You don't have to escape to the mountains or delete every app on your phone. You just have to start noticing where your attention goes, and gently bring it back to what matters most. Ask yourself: What am I really focusing on right now? Is it helping me or draining me? What would happen if I chose differently? Your attention is yours. Don't give it away without a fight. Until next time, stay focused and stay free.

Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake.

What does it mean to choose joy in a world that feels anything but joyful? In this Sunday Gathering message, Emily Perry explores the practice of claiming joy not as escapism, but as a spiritual act of defiance against fear, suffering, and ego-based narratives. Drawing from A Course in Miracles and the legacy of great nonviolent movements—from Fannie Lou Hamer to Viktor Frankl to Dietrich Bonhoeffer—Emily shares how joy becomes a healing force when rooted in love and our identity as God's beloved. You'll learn: Why the Course calls joy your function and a sign of spiritual maturity How resistance through joy echoes the teachings of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount What “Black joy” reveals about reclaiming identity and sacred dignity How to cultivate joy even in the midst of pain, loss, or injustice Emily's sermon reminds us that joy is more than a feeling—it's a way of standing with God, even in the storm. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to.

Inspired by Viktor Frankl's quote, I highlight the crucial space between stimulus and response, where our freedom and power reside. It is imperative to understand that this space is not merely a pause but a pivotal moment for growth and happiness, especially when navigating the tumultuous waters of anxiety, panic, and PTSD. I discuss the significant difference between managing anxiety—through tips, tricks, and props that only keep it at bay—and the transformative process of moving beyond it entirely. While coping mechanisms are necessary to help us navigate daily challenges, they should never become a crutch that defines our existence. We often utilize these techniques to alleviate acute anxiety, allowing us to momentarily calm the storm and gain a broader perspective on our experiences. This episode challenges you to recognize that accepting and surrendering to your feelings, as daunting as they may seem, is a crucial step towards genuine relief. Accepting anxiety is not the same as embracing it; it is about understanding that real change must come from within. I stress the importance of taking personal accountability in this journey, shifting away from the desire for external solutions, and recognizing the internal nature of this transformation. #anxiety #overcominganxiety #beyondanxiety #anxietymanagement #anxietyrelief #mentalhealth #nervoussystem #stressresponse #acceptance #surrender #innerpeace #freedomfromanxiety #fearoffear #viktorfrankl #anxietycoachespodcast #gettingbeyondanxiety #stimulusandresponse #chooseyourresponse #clearanxiety #anxietytoolsandtips #GinaRyan #ACP Learn more about your ad choices.
