Podcasts about Vulnerability

Roughly 82% of autoimmune diseases show up in women, and the cause may not be what you think. In this episode, I sit down with resilience researcher Dr. Taryn Marie to unpack how the stress you hide rewires your nervous system, why "toughing it out" is actually the opposite of resilience, and the three questions I'm now asking myself every morning. She also opens up about the 20-year secret she hid from everyone and a study where babies who had food, water, and everything but one thing still didn't survive.

What if the biggest obstacle to your health, happiness, and success isn't your diet, your habits, or even your circumstances—but your nervous system? In this powerful compilation episode, Darin brings together some of the most transformative insights from several of his most impactful solo episodes on neuroscience, nervous system regulation, meditation, behavior change, human connection, trauma healing, and purposeful living. Drawing from cutting-edge research in neuroplasticity, somatic experiencing, meditation science, behavioral psychology, polyvagal theory, and positive psychology, Darin explores how your environment, biology, and daily practices shape your thoughts, emotions, and ultimately your life. From rewiring childhood patterns and understanding why willpower fails, to regulating your nervous system, embracing vulnerability, cultivating meaningful relationships, and reconnecting with your deepest purpose, this episode offers a practical roadmap for creating lasting internal transformation. True health doesn't begin in the kitchen—it begins in the mind.

Real transformation doesn't begin by forcing yourself to change—it begins by creating the conditions where change becomes natural."

One income stream is not security. It is a single point of failure. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why relying on one client, one platform, one product, or one channel can put your entire business at risk. Let's be real… If all of your revenue comes from one client… One algorithm… One offer… Or one traffic source… You are not truly protected. You are exposed. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a single revenue stream creates massive vulnerability How one platform change or client loss can destroy an unstable business Why multiple income pillars create stronger financial security How diversification gives founders more confidence, leverage, and peace of mind The truth is simple: True wealth is not a single thread. It is a web. A strong business has multiple ways to generate cash flow. Multiple ways to acquire customers. Multiple products or services that support the mission. Multiple pillars that keep the company standing if one gets hit. High-level operators do not build their entire financial house on one pillar. They spread the risk. They create backup systems. They build complementary channels. And they protect the foundation before the storm ever comes. Because when your income is diversified… Your posture changes. You negotiate stronger. You lead with more confidence. You sleep better at night. Build the web. Protect the cash flow. Diversify the revenue. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Ben Poswalk, Director of Business Development at The Child Care Success Company, for a chat about what really separates owners who keep growing from the ones who stay stuck in the same overwhelm, year after year. Because after years of working with child care owners in every stage of the journey, Ben has seen the patterns clearly: where owners break through, where they get in their own way, and what actually helps them move forward.   Together, they talk about the habits that show up inside successful businesses, the blind spots that keep owners spinning, and why the biggest problem is not always the one sitting on the surface. They also get into trust, relationships, vulnerability, and what it looks like to stop carrying everything alone.    Key Takeaways: [3:57] Ben shares how his path into child care started unexpectedly and became a calling he never planned for. [6:47] The owners who grow are usually the ones who take action on what they learn instead of just gathering more information. [8:09] Many owners stay stuck because they are buried in the day-to-day and are trying to control too much at once. [9:25] Letting go of tasks your team can handle often creates more freedom and better results than holding on too tightly. [10:42] A lot of staffing struggles point back to leadership, culture, and clarity, not just hiring. [11:53] Better hiring starts with helping people see the purpose of the work and how they fit into the bigger vision. [14:03] One major blind spot is chasing outside solutions for problems that are really happening inside the business. [15:07] Strong enrollment systems are built on trust and relationship-building, not pressure or rushing families. [18:25] The owners who keep growing are usually the ones willing to do the hard things and have the hard conversations. [19:40] Vulnerability is often the thing that helps owners get support, build confidence, and move forward. [26:58] In 2026, one of the biggest opportunities is getting back to real human connection with staff, families, and children. [31:48] Owners do not have to carry everything alone, but they do have to be honest about what is not working. [33:33] Often, the biggest breakthrough starts by identifying the one issue that will create the most momentum first.   Quotes: "I feel like it's a calling more than anything else, and we end up serving the children and families that are in our care, because it was just meant to be." — Ben [4:09]   "It's the owners that implement and actually take action on the information that they receive." — Ben [7:06]   "Relationships are everything, because it's not about what we can do or the shiny objects that we can build; it's about who we are on the inside, showing up and being authentic, building trust, and building relationships with them." — Jennifer [17:14]   "We are in the trust business. Always." — Jennifer [17:50]   "Vulnerability is such a key component to success." — Ben [20:32]   "My passion is getting fulfilled, and that's making this world a better place, one child at a time, and that's only possible through those conversations I have on a regular basis with owners." — Ben [35:02]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray Jennifer Conner The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Ben Poswalk Facebook Ben Poswalk Instagram Ben Poswalk LinkedIn Brené Brown

It is my tremendous honor to be joined by Patrick Walker of Warning and 40 Watt Sun for what is not only first ever non-print interview, but also HardLore's first ever 1 on 1 interview with a guest.In this appropriately intimate chat, we discuss his humble upbringing in Harlow, Essex UK.From the Jackson 5 and Tears For Fears to Revelation and Saint Vitus, we discover how Patrick's emotional connection with music flourished, and how he evolved into someone i've always considered to be one of the most personal and deliberate songwriters in the world. We learn the canonical standing of Warning and 40 Watt Sun in Patrick's point of view, the 20 year lasting legacy of "Watching From A Distance" and why now was finally time to return to Warning for "Rituals of Shame."After years of championing Patrick's work both on and off HardLore, it was an honor not only to have this chat, but to share more about someone whose work I admire so much.

Send us Fan MailOne small action can change a whole community, and sometimes even rewrite what the next generation learns in school. We sit down with Brad and Kira Newberry to unpack the idea behind their book, The Saved Effect, and why a single rescue rarely ends when the ambulance doors close. Using the butterfly effect as a guide, we explore how “micro moments” of courage and care can ripple outward into families, careers, and public policy.We dig into a story that's hard to forget: an eight-year-old girl choking at a restaurant, a nurse stepping in with the Heimlich maneuver, and the long tail of that save. Years later, that same kid is training hundreds of people in CPR and pushing for a bill that would make CPR certification a high school graduation requirement. We connect that to a bigger first responder and public health question: why do we teach fire safety so well, but still treat CPR as optional life knowledge in so many places?We also get real about first responder mental health and the culture shift around PTSD support, peer help, chaplains, and modern critical incident resources. Then we go straight into the generational friction point, with a father-daughter perspective on what Gen X and Gen Z each need to hear, and how EMS education can adapt to the way people actually learn today without lowering standards.If you care about EMS, firefighter and police mental health, CPR training, or better leadership across generations, you'll get a lot from this conversation.

In this episode of Daily Creative, we explore the nuanced experience of failure and the creative courage required to start over. We open with a story about recognizing when to let go of failed dreams and the importance of closure—giving our abandoned ambitions the dignity of a “decent burial” rather than carrying emotional residue into our next ventures.We're joined by Steve Kamb, founder of Nerd Fitness and author of How to Try Again. The conversation focused on the modern misconception that achievement is only about relentless forward momentum. Instead, we dig into what happens after things don't go as planned, and how to move forward with intention.One concept discussed was identity and how the language of failure has shifted over centuries—from being seen as an event to being seen as a statement about who we are. We unpack the psychological weight behind this shift and how it can paralyze us from trying again.Steve shared research-backed approaches and a pragmatic framework called PACT: Pause, Accept, Change, Try. Rather than reflexively doubling down or giving up, this approach urges us to create space, honestly examine our circumstances, investigate what went wrong with curiosity (not self-loathing), and experiment with new methods.A key theme that emerged was the value of collective vulnerability and perspective—realizing our failures aren't so unique, and that growth comes from standing on the shoulders of our setbacks, not being buried beneath them.Five Key LearningsClosure is Undervalued: If we don't fully mark the end of a failed project or dream, we risk dragging its emotional baggage into our next pursuit. Sometimes “burying the butterfly” is what frees us for genuine renewal. (02:29)Failure and Identity are Not the Same: We too often internalize failure as a flaw in who we are, rather than seeing it as something that happened. Recognizing this distinction is critical for resilience. (09:08)Healthy Pausing Beats Reflexive Action: Jumping immediately back in or attempting more brute-force effort often leads to burnout and stagnation. Pausing creates space for honest self-assessment and recalibration. (13:44)Success Comes from Tactical Experimentation: Treating setbacks with the dispassion of a detective or scientist allows us to refine methods without self-judgment. Success stems from iterative learning, not from following a fixed blueprint. (15:27)Vulnerability is a Shared Human Experience: By sharing failures—both trivial and profound—we open ourselves to community, lessen stigma, and build collective strength. Our failures become data, not shames to be hidden. (11:32)Get full interviews and bonus content for free! Just join the list at DailyCreativePlus.com.

In this episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Jey Young, a mental health counselor and podcaster, to talk about holding grief and joy at once. Just weeks before welcoming his baby boy into the world, Jey lost his father to suicide. Jey Young opens up about what it's like to process devastating loss while celebrating new life, sharing raw, unfiltered insight into that emotional whiplash. Together, Reena and Jey dig into the nuances of mental health, the power of open communication, and why community support matters most in moments of crisis. The conversation traces how Jey's experiences have reshaped his understanding of fatherhood and mental health, offering listeners real takeaways on resilience, connection, and the importance of checking in on the people we love. Reena and Jey also reflect on their own stories, underscoring how vulnerability and authenticity are what make relationships meaningful. It's also Men's Mental Health Month, and this episode is a reminder of why that matters: men are still far less likely to ask for help or talk about what they're carrying, even when it's costing them everything. Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text, 24/7.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Stasi welcomes back Blaine Eldredge, Director of Spiritual Formation at Wild at Heart, to continue unpacking the mystery of beauty—the beauty that flows from our intimacy with Jesus. Together they explore the vulnerability and courage it takes to let our true selves be seen in a world that wounds beauty so deeply, and the healing ways Jesus continues to draw near with tenderness, restoration, and a love that calls out the beauty within us. Come and rediscover the beauty of God alive in us.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: John 15:9 (NIV) – As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

In Part 1 of this deeply honest and emotionally powerful conversation, Eve sits down with relationship therapist Josh Davis to explore the complex intersections of trauma, shame, sexuality, identity, emotional healing, and relationships within the LGBTQIA+ community. Specializing in helping gay men navigate abandonment wounds, self-worth struggles, intimacy challenges, and emotional disconnection, Josh shares valuable insight into how childhood experiences and societal conditioning shape adult relationships, communication patterns, vulnerability, and sexual expression. Together, Eve and Josh unpack the survival mechanisms many people develop to protect themselves from rejection, shame, and emotional pain — and how those same protective patterns can later interfere with intimacy, authenticity, and connection. This episode also explores dissociation during sex and relationships, mindfulness as a healing tool, inner-child work, rebuilding trust within the body, and the journey toward emotional freedom and self-acceptance. Eve shares personal reflections on trauma recovery and reclaiming authenticity after difficult life experiences. Whether you've struggled with vulnerability, intimacy, identity, shame, or understanding how your past impacts your present relationships, this conversation offers compassion, education, validation, and hope.

Play sounds fun in theory. But in practice? Play asks us to risk looking foolish. It asks us to try something we're not good at, let go of control, and show parts of ourselves that don't always fit neatly into the roles we've built our lives around. In this episode, Ryan and I are talking about the vulnerability hidden inside play and why it can feel surprisingly difficult, especially for people who are used to being competent, capable, and taken seriously. We explore: why play often feels risky for high-achievers the connection between vulnerability and creativity how professionalism can sometimes crowd out authenticity why being playful doesn't make you less capable what our holiday spider has taught us about joy and belonging how play strengthens relationships at work, at home, and with our kids and why some of life's best stories begin with being willing to look a little ridiculous One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is that play creates permission, not just for us, but for the people around us. When we're willing to show up fully as ourselves, it often gives others permission to do the same. And maybe that's the real invitation here. Not to become less serious, but to become more fully yourself.   Connect with me: Email: support@plangoalplan.com Facebook Group: Join Here Website: PlanGoalPlan.com LinkedIn: (I post most here!) www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-mcgeough-phd-

Heated Rivalry is is one of my favorite love stories ever told & I cannot get enough of reviewing, analyzing & talking about it. I am so excited to share Part 2 of my conversation with the amazing Laura Jurgens!  SPOILER ALERT! This is not a spoiler-free zone.  We go deep on specific scenes & episodes, so if you haven't watched it yet & you care about spoilers, save this for another day.  And if you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back & start there as we set up so much context about why this show matters so much to me and what themes we think can help you see your own relationship differently.  In Part 2, Laura Jurgens, PhD & I pick the conversation right back up.  This time we go into the cultural phenomenon of Heated Rivalry and what it reveals about women's desire & why vulnerability is the real game-changer in relationships.  We also get into the episode-by-episode moments that stopped us in our tracks, & the creative lessons from writer-producer Jacob Tierney about trusting your vision. A quick note on where we're each coming from: I'm a cisgender heterosexual woman, & Laura is a bisexual woman bringing her own lived experience to this.  We're both speaking from our specific lenses, & that feels especially worth naming here in Part 2, where we talk about desire & women's sexuality.  As a person who loves love both in real life & on TV, I have LOTS OF THOUGHTS — & I'm so grateful for the deep joy this celebration of queer love has brought to my life. A second quick note: we talk about sex & sexual situations, so if you're listening somewhere with people who shouldn't be hearing this, save it for later. Here is the scoop on what we talked about — ✨ Episode at a Glance Why "women don't like sex" is a cultural myth — & what's actually true The response to this show as a phenomenon, & what it's revealing about women's desire Why so much of our cultural sexual script is written for & around men The pizza analogy that completely reframes "low libido" Why the show works as inspiration, not a manual "Stop guessing, start asking" — the coaching homework hiding inside the love story Rose, & why we all need allies who help us see ourselves What episode four teaches us about letting fear run the show The Russian monologue & the relief of finally saying it out loud Trusting your vision: the creative bravery of writer-producer Jacob Tierney Why being deeply specific is exactly what makes a story (or a relationship) universal What collaborative leadership on set teaches us about co-creating in our relationships   Resources mentioned in this episode: Part 1 of this conversation: Heated Rivalry — Courage, Shame & Being Seen with Laura Jurgens The Polarity Episode: Masculine, Feminine & Repackaged Patriarchy with Laura Jurgens — www.maggiereyes.com/podcast/203 The Questions for Couples Journal Private Coaching with Maggie Free Workshop: The Growth Gap Marriage Mindset Makeover Visit Laura's website: www.laurajurgens.com  Follow Laura on Instagram: @laura.jurgens.coach Listen to Laura's podcast: The Pleasure Uprising Podcast

If you live in South Louisiana, you probably saw the headlines last month raising alarm about the region's vulnerability to climate change. Like this one in The Guardian: ‘Point of no return': New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level rise, study finds. WWNO and WRKF reporters Aubri Juhasz and Eva Tesfaye have been looking at the study, media coverage and how locals are responding. They sat down to talk about it with one another.The sequel to the Oscar-nominated documentary “Time,” titled “Time II: Unfinished Business,” premiered Friday on Amazon Prime. It picks up where the first leaves off, after Sibil “Fox Rich” Richardson's husband, Rob, is freed from Angola after serving 21 years for armed robbery. Fox was also involved in the robbery and served seven years in prison. The film documents the couple's fight for the release of their nephew, an accomplice who is still serving time. It also highlights their fight for justice reform to ensure punishments fit the crime. “Fox Rich” and Rob Richardson join us with more.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

For years, security teams had time between discovery and exploitation. Time to triage. Time to validate. Time to prioritize what to fix first. AI has compressed that window. Frontier models now discover and chain vulnerabilities faster than human analysts can confirm them, and the gap between finding and fixing is shrinking in both directions. In this episode of CyberWire-X, N2K's ⁠Dave Bittner⁠ and Federico Kirschbaum, Head of XBOW Security Lab, explore what it actually means to run autonomous offensive security, why validation workflows built for quarterly testing cycles struggle to keep up, and how practitioners are redefining what a tested application looks like when the pace of offense has fundamentally changed.

I had a fascinating conversation with author Pam Fordham on the podcast recently, and we talked about the pressure many of us feel to have a "big" or "dramatic" story to share. But often, the most powerful and relatable moments are found in the small, everyday details.Think back to your own life. It's probably not the grand events but the small, consistent gestures that reveal the most about a person's character. It's one thing to ask guests to be vulnerable on my podcast; it's another to be on the receiving end of the questions. When Pam flipped the mic on me, I realized how much I associate sharing my own story with a loss of control. As a social worker, my role has always been to listen, not to share. But through our conversation, I was reminded that surrendering that control can be incredibly freeing. Pamela Fordham is an educator and writer in Western New York. Before retiring from teaching in 2025, she taught English/Language Arts, as well as theatre and public speaking during her 35-year career. Pam also created and taught a Race in America elective for more than ten years. Pam's professional ambition was always to be more than a writing teacher; she practiced being a teacher who writes. Throughout her career she published articles, poems, reviews, blogs and narratives, and she compiled a collection of her work in Woman which was adapted into a play. While teaching and writing have been the focus of most of the work she has done in her professional life, she has also worked as a substitute librarian and as an actor in several professional theater productions. As she endeavors to embrace the “write life,” she is committed to seeking out and telling powerful stories. She hopes her writing fills readers with hope, encouragement and the desire to uncover their own impactful narratives. Her most recent publication is Who Will Tell My Story? Finding Hope for the Best (and Worst) Days of Your Life. The memoir blends personal essays, poetic reflections, and classroom vignettes to explore the intersections of race, grief, motherhood, teaching, and hope. Fordham invites readers to reflect on their own stories through 52 thematic chapters, each ending with a prompt that asks: What is your story? Connect with Pam!To read more of Pam's writings, visit www.pamelafordham.com or follow her on Instagram Her book “Who Will Tell My Story?” is available on Amazon.

Ian Banner was asked to set up a prayer ministry team at a church. He was careful about who he approached — looking for humility and grace, not just gifting. Then someone he hadn't contacted approached him, demanding a place on the team, telling him God had confirmed her gifting to pray for others.He asked one question: when had she last gone forward for prayer herself?Her answer — "I don't need prayer, they do" — is the starting point for this Walk and Talk episode on what Ian calls mutual vulnerability: the principle that you cannot pray well for someone unless you know from the inside what it costs to stand at the front and need God in a room full of people.Drawing on James 5:16 and his own test for assessing whether someone is ready to pray for others, Ian makes the case that the best credential for prayer ministry isn't gifting or experience — it's being a regular responder yourself.

Origins Podcast WebsiteHello friends, a new season of Origins arrives on June 30!I can't genuinely describe my experience in the world right now without the term confusion. Confused in a deep sense: feeling a growing distance between the world as I experience it and the world we seem to be creating together.The appropriate response to bewilderment is not certainty but deeper conversation. That has always been the purpose of Origins: A person bewildered by the world turning toward another person and asking: How do you live here?So strangely, out of vulnerability there is capacity. Out of confusion there is hope.The episodes in this season are meant to be companions in that work. They are certainly companions in mine.What we do now will be oriented toward creating those sites at which vulnerability becomes capacity: belonging and solidarity. I hope each episode becomes an encounter with flourishing. Flourishing Commons Newsletter

You know this feeling.The heaviness in your chest before making a decision. The way your mind rehearses worst-case scenarios on repeat until you're exhausted before the day even begins.The paralysis that keeps you in situations you've outgrown — not because they're good, but because they're known.And the unknown? The unknown feels like falling…..You call it anxiety. You call it overthinking. You call it “being careful.”But beneath all of those words is something older, something more primal: Your fear circuit — an alarm system in your brain that was designed to keep you alive.And it has been working overtime. Not because the danger is real. But because somewhere in your past, your nervous system learned that change itself is the threat.Let me tell you how this works.Your brain has a vital mechanism called the amygdala — a small, almond-shaped region that scans for threat constantly. When it detects danger, it floods your body with cortisol and adrenaline.If the threat is real and immediate — a car swerving toward you, a person attacking you — this system saves your life. But also…..It sharpens your focus. It mobilizes your muscles. It makes you faster, sharper, more capable.If the threat is not immediate but your amygdala was trained in an environment where safety was never guaranteed, the alarm never fully turns off.Your brain begins treating everything unfamiliar as dangerous. New opportunities.New relationships. New versions of yourself.And unconscious vows form to reinforce the pattern: I must avoid risks at all costs. It's not safe to step outside my comfort zone. My fears define me.These aren't weaknesses. These are the architecture your psyche built to survive an environment that taught you early: Change means loss. Vulnerability means harm. The unknown cannot be trusted.Your younger self needed these vows. They were brilliant.But you are not surviving anymore. You are allowed to live.Here's the part that makes this so exhausting: When your fear circuit is chronically activated, your prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain responsible for logic, perspective, and decision-making — gets overridden.You can't think your way out of it. Because the part of your brain that thinks clearly is being drowned out by the part that is screaming danger.If you've ever wondered why you “know” something is irrational but still can't stop feeling afraid, this is why.The amygdala doesn't care about logic. It cares about survival. And if your history taught it that new things hurt, it will keep you locked in the known — even if the known is slowly killing you.But here's what changes everything: You can retrain this system.Not by ignoring fear. Not by forcing yourself to “just be brave.” But by creating enough present-moment safety that your amygdala begins to learn a new pattern.When fear grips you and you respond with presence — with a hand on your chest, with a grounding breath, with a quiet acknowledgment that you are safe right now — you are teaching your nervous system the difference between past danger and present moment.You cannot think your way out of a feeling that didn't originate in your thinking brain.You are not dismissing the fear. You are informing your amygdala that this moment — this present moment — is not the old danger.I created an audio journey to help you do exactly this.

Gen Z gets a bad rap for being lazy, but they're actually the most entrepreneurial generation we've ever had. Calle Foster, a leadership coach who spent 12 years in corporate learning and development, explains why that stereotype is costing you as a leader.The real issue? It's how we're leading them. Gen Z was raised in a very different world than previous generations, and that context shaped how they show up at work. When leaders come at them with command and control, they shut down. They internalize it as their fault. They need guides, not controllers.Calle talks about what Gen Z actually responds to: psychological safety, questions instead of orders, and understanding the why behind the work. She also addresses generational trauma—how silence about bodies, fertility, and mental health gets passed down through families and how we can break that cycle.We also dig into how this applies to medicine and residency training, parenting Gen Z kids, and building teams where multiple generations actually respect each other instead of denigrating one another.Highlights:Gen Z shuts down under command and control. Telling is yelling.Gen Z expects emotional availability from leaders because that's how they were parented by Gen X.Vulnerability from leaders creates safety for everyone on the team.Generational silence about bodies and fertility gets passed down.Gen Z has emotional language that's a strength, not a weakness.If women aren't building AI algorithms, we're automating bias into healthcare.If you're a parent, a manager, or an attending working with Gen Z, this episode is for you. The way you lead and communicate shapes how the next generation shows up. My goal is to give you tools to understand your body, your hormones, your relationships—and how to build teams and families where people feel safe enough to actually speak.If you've found this conversation helpful, please subscribe so you don't miss future episodes. And if you're in a leadership position, consider where you might shift from command and control to coaching.Get in touch with Calle:WebsiteInstagramGet in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

What would change in your life if you stopped waiting for permission and finally trusted yourself? In this episode, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle explore one of the most transformative energies in manifestation: the unapologetic self-worth that comes from fully being yourself. As the community moves through the Be Seen Challenge, they unpack the collective themes emerging right now: navigating uncertainty in a rapidly changing world, releasing outdated beliefs around success, hustle, relationships, visibility, and identity. They dive into the fears that keep us hidden and cover nervous system regulation, shadow work, authenticity, burnout, and manifestation. Plus, they break down why "fuck it" energy isn't about recklessness — it's about arriving at a place where your worth is no longer up for debate. Your authenticity is your greatest signal to the universe. The life, love, opportunities, and freedom you're after often begin the moment you stop abandoning yourself and allow yourself to truly be seen.

We introverts often wear our independence like a badge of honour, convincing ourselves that figuring everything out alone is somehow noble. Yet beneath the resourcefulness can sit something far less comfortable: a fear of what happens after we ask for help, share honestly, or allow ourselves to be seen. In this episode, I explore the vulnerability hangover that can follow moments of openness, along with the stories we tell ourselves about weakness, credibility and judgement. I share a very recent experience that left me replaying every detail and questioning everything. The real question is not whether vulnerability is risky. It is whether keeping everything bottled up is costing us far more than we realise.   Key Points

Host Dr. Adam Dorsay interviews developmental psychologist Dr. Alexis Redding, faculty co-chair of higher education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and editor of Mental Health in College, about supporting college student mental health. Redding explains the book emerged from connecting experts who cared about students but weren't in conversation, and argues mental health support matters for student engagement, belonging, retention, and the broader developmental work colleges can foster. Drawing on archival interviews from the 1940s and 1970s and contemporary studies of the classes of 2025–2026, she finds core emotions like loneliness and insecurity during transitions remain consistent across generations, despite changes like COVID and social media. She recommends avoiding a constant crisis narrative, training staff to ask clarifying questions about clinical language, and replacing “kids these days” and “best four years” stories with more nuance and vulnerability.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:49 Meet Alexis Redding02:16 Why This Book Exists04:56 Mental Health Pays Off07:55 Loneliness Then and Now10:37 Roommate Mirror Effect13:45 Transitions Shape Wellbeing16:46 Are Kids Really Different20:33 TikTok Therapy Language26:18 Stop the Crisis Narrative29:29 Ditch Kids These Days35:26 Archeology and Connection38:43 Vulnerability as the Skill43:16 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Dr. Alexis ReddingMental Health in College - What Research Tells Us About Supporting Students BookDr. Alexis Redding Instagram

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Scott Harrison is the founder and CEO of charity: water, a non-profit that has raised over a billion dollars and funded tens of thousands of water projects to bring safe drinking water to millions. He previously spent a decade as a New York City nightclub promoter before a dramatic career shift led him into humanitarian work. Key Learnings Scott started a charity: water with $20 from a birthday party. Then $15,000... Twenty years later: over a billion dollars raised, 21 million people served. He says it should be 10 to 100 times more. The cure for water already exists. We're looking for water on Mars while 700 million people drink dirty water on Earth. We solved this hundreds of years ago. We just haven't implemented it. 25% of the money sitting in American donor-advised funds would give every human on Earth clean water. That's parked philanthropic capital. Already tax-benefited. Just waiting. The goal is always 10X what you're doing. If we raised a million last year, we want ten this year. If we raise $100 million, we should raise a billion. The opportunity is always orders of magnitude larger than the moment. Show, don't bullet. Scott shows 210 photos in a 45-minute keynote. No PowerPoint. Single images. A story unfolds frame by frame. Be early to the technology. First charity on Instagram. First to hit a million Twitter followers. First to use VR. The question is always the same: how does this new thing further the mission? The 100% model: solve for the cynic.  Public donations go to one bank account that funds only water projects. Overhead is raised separately from entrepreneurs and business leaders. Then track every donation to a specific village. Don't be mid. Scott's 11-year-old daughter says nobody wants to be mid. Excellence is a core value. There's a lot of mid out there. Design everything. The fact cover sheet. The PowerPoint. The website. The package. "We're always dating." If the message comes in an ugly package, you're at a disadvantage before you start. Treat the donor like a Michelin three-star guest. If a restaurant can think that carefully about a meal, you can think that carefully about a donor who can save a million lives. The Goldman Sachs partner who changed Scott's paradigm. Before making an eight-figure ask, Scott asked a partner: "How does it feel when people ask for a lot more than you expected?" The expected answer was irritated, offended, put off. The actual answer: "I feel flattered that they think I would be that generous." People are generous. The well is there. You just have to drill deep enough. Scott has spent 20 years asking for too little. That might be his next obsession. People give to people, not causes. A dynamic leader who transfers their enthusiasm gets the donation. The cause doesn't. Most of the donations Scott and his wife give are to people, not topics they were already passionate about. Talk 10% of the time. When Scott meets a donor for the first time, he wants to know their whole life story. Their marriage. Their kids. What they wanted to be when they grew up. Be genuinely curious or don't bother. Hire for integrity, humility, curiosity, and energy... 16,000 applicants for 36 roles last year. Energy matters most. Someone who can get you fired up about pickleball, Patagonia, or a new running shoe is exactly who you want on the executive team. The dinner test for hiring: Can you imagine having this person at your home for two hours at dinner? And wanting to keep them for another hour? Get the whole life story. Scott wants the arc from the beginning to the present in an interview. If someone can't tell their own story coherently, they probably don't know themselves yet. The 11-year-old with the piggy bank. He told his parents he was going to fund a whole village. They told him to set a realistic goal. He went knocking on doors. He came back with $10,000. Scott's experience lab in Nashville. A 60-minute immersive tour. A 100-degree room with a treadmill where you carry a 40-pound water vessel. Microscopes that show you parasites. A VR film that ends in celebration. The "give shop," not the gift shop. 53% of visitors donate. 10,000 visitors. $3.9 million raised in year one. Scott's champagne moment: a single billionaire who picks water. The water sector doesn't have one. Republicans and Democrats agree on it. Atheists and people of faith agree on it. Everyone has to drink. Reflection Questions What is the 10X version of your current goal? Where are you asking for too little because the smaller ask felt safer? Who in your work or life is the Michelin three-star guest, the customer, donor, or partner who deserves your most thoughtful experience design?  When was the last time you went 10% talking, 90% genuinely curious about someone else's story?  More Learning:  #290: Scott Harrison – Redemption, Compassion, & The Transformative Power Within Us #680: Scott Galloway - Don't Follow Your Passion, Follow Your Talent #682: Will Guidara - Adversity is a Terrible Thing to WasteAudio Chapters 00:00 The Price of Becoming - Pre-Order Now! 01:18 Welcome Back, Scott Harrison 02:56 From a $20 Bill to Over $1 Billion Raised 04:59 Why the Goal Should Always Be 10X (or 100X) 07:54 Storytelling: How to Get People to Care About a Problem They Don't Feel 10:30 Being Early to Instagram, Twitter, and VR 16:10 Radical Transparency: The Bank Account That Built Trust 19:51 The Beauty of a Healthy Obsession 21:22 Drilling Deep for the Artesian Wells of Generosity 25:04 What It Feels Like in the Room When Generosity Breaks Through 27:01 "Nobody Wants to Be Mid." 30:56 Design Everything: We're Always Dating 32:13 Treat Your Donor Like a Michelin Three-Star Guest 35:39 Selling With Integrity: Talk 10%, Listen 90% 39:15 16,000 Applicants for 36 Jobs: What Scott Looks For 43:12 The Power of Vulnerability in Hiring 45:39 Inside the Nashville Experience Lab 50:34 The Champagne Question: A Billion-Dollar Vision 52:10 The 11-Year-Old Who Raised $10,000 Door-to-Door 54:25 EOPC  

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. David Puder sits down with Dr. Karen Maroda, a renowned psychoanalyst, assistant professor of psychiatry at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and author of influential books including The Power of Countertransference and The Analyst's Vulnerability. Together they explore a powerful clinical insight: disengagement precedes enactment. Learn how therapists' unprocessed countertransference (irritation, boredom, guilt, anger, or helplessness) often leads to emotional withdrawal before erupting into destructive enactments that can rupture the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Maroda shares candid examples from her own practice, including a personal enactment she later processed with her patient, and demonstrates practical strategies for catching disengagement early, using constructive self-disclosure, and maintaining emotional presence. The conversation features a live role-play, deep discussion of parentification in therapists' histories, setting healthy boundaries, managing guilt and shame, and turning potential pitfalls into opportunities for deeper connection.   By listening to this episode, you can earn 1.25 Psychiatry CME Credits.
